Trouble in Trinidad

Summary

A high-school student, serving in an ROTC color guard at a Caribbean trade conference in Dallas, discovers an assassination plot unfolding against the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago and has only seconds to try to thwart it or stand by and watch it happen. Kevin Wells elects to intervene and manages to save the prime minister's life, but is shot in the process. While recovering in the hospital, the prime minister's daughter comes to visit him to express her thanks for saving her father's life. Kevin is awed by Kiran's beauty and thinks he's in love. When the Prime Minister asks him to come to Trinidad and Tobago to testify against the assassin, Kevin is reluctant to go until he finds out he'll be staying at the prime minister's house and entertained by his daughters. What he doesn't know is that the prime minister's enemies are still determined to kill him.
