wow, what a day indeed!

Great story. Don to the rescue! I totally understand the need for decent coffee. Thanks for writing this

The whole time I was reading this, I was envisioning Harrison Ford crouched down by Don. Funny how both ended up in this mess because they needed that caffeine fix.

WOW! all for a cup of coffee! and he meets the PRESIDENT of the US! wow that would be an experiance!

You know, you did a great job of keeping the secret of who the man was until the very end. The whole time, I was really, really bewildered, and then at the end, it all made sense. For a while, I thought he was maybe a WitSec person or an important dignitary, but I just love that you had him be the president.

cool!

loved every word of it. It took me a little while who the "sir" was, but then I got it, LOL.

great job

Perfect story. I loved the non-stop action and Don's portrayal throughout. Thanks, Beth

I like, you did a good job :D

Yeah. APEC was pretty nuts. I felt sorry for the ordinary Sydney people who had to run that gauntlet. Anyway I really enjoyed your story. Nice to see another aussie.

Action to the max. Had to read the whole thing twice after reading the last bit, just to get every little detail. Very good. Ah, coffee.

Great. Fab pacing and lovely charcterisation.

Lovely twist. Really liked the story...

Cool. I had my suspicions though about who the important guy was, but it was still nice to know that I totally called that.

All in the name of Starbucks, gotta love a good caffeine fix!

Very nicely done.

That was great - loved the surprise ending and the little jibe at law enforcement's addiction to caffeine. I'm behind on a bunch of yours and looking forward to catching up, because they're always such a treat.
