Chapter 20
IL Divo, Tam and Lea arrived at the TV Station to be greeted by a large crowd of fans all happy to be able to see their favourite group. Their appearance had not been advertised but David had made mention of it on the forum when he posted one of his videos. That was all it took. The Il Divo web site was better than any communication system they knew. It never took very long for information and news to get around the world.
Urs pushed David playfully as they waved to their fans and went inside. “This is all your doing you know.”
David smiled so cheekily that Urs could not help but laugh. “But Urs, they would be so disappointed if they had missed this, you know that. I was just trying to help out in my own little way.”
“Well your own little way might have just caused a traffic jam.”
All four of them gave their fans a last wave before disappearing inside. It would be a few more hours before they reappeared. However many fans had access to an assortment of portable devices that would allow them to watch the interview as it took place. Before Il Divo finished their interview pictures of them arriving would have been posted on several different threads in the forum.

Once again they had to endure the make up application. It was here that Carlos told them about Felicity. They all had to smile; they had never seen Carlos act like this about a woman. Yes he loved the ladies and was a constant flirt and had his girlfriends but this was different. He was besotted with her, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face and the make up artist was having a hard time keeping him in his seat.
Lea went over and kissed him on the top of the head. “I am so happy for you Carlos. She seems like a nice person.”
Carlos leaned over to Lea so the make up artist could not hear what he had to say. “She is incredible in bed, so fit, I never knew.”
This time Lea slapped him on the head. “Carlos!!! Way too much information!!!”
But she had a smile on her face when she went back over to be with Sebastien.

The interview went much the same as many they had done in the past and Urs did indeed speak for Tam as did the others. Many questions were fielded to Sebastien and he answered them with poise and humour. Lea watched from behind the camera and was very proud of how he handled himself. Question about his injuries he made a joke out of to help Urs come to terms with what he had done. Sebastien never did and never would hold Urs’ actions against him and he wanted him to know that, He wanted everyone to know.
David was as boisterous as always, his smile and laugh melting the hearts of many and Carlos was even more flirtatious if that was even possible.
The interview ended with Tam playing one of her own pieces of music and as before those that watched and heard were spell bound by the way she was able to bring the music to life. It was hypnotic and settled into your soul like an old friend. Il Divo had elected not to sing for two reasons. Sebastien’s face still hurt a little when he sang and they all agreed it was Tam’s time to shine and shine she did.
After the interview they were escorted to a large boardroom where they met other people, signed autographs and generally mingled with people from the studio that wished to see them. Tam stuck very close to Urs and Lea kept a very close eye on Tam.
Before long it was time to tackle their fans outside. Il Divo loved their fans and tried very hard to give them as much time as they could when ever they could. When they got rushed from interviews or concerts and did not get to see their fans they felt that they had somehow cheated them. But today they could stay as long as they wanted.
A cheer went out from the crowd as they stepped outside. Lea and Tam held back a little giving Il Divo the time they needed with their fans. The guys laughed and chatted with the fans. Several of Urs’ fans asked him about Tam and Urs asked them if they would like to meet her. They all said yes. Urs walked back to Tam and gently coaxed her to meet the fans. There were a few motherly ladies in the front row who smiled at her as she approached.
“Hi there hon. is our Urs treating you okay?”
Tam still had hold of his hand but she nodded her head. Another lady spoke to her.
“You play beautifully my girl. Do hope that you will consider playing again, maybe even with the guys.”
Tam smiled and the lady lent in a little. “Can I give you a hug?”
Urs watched to see what Tam would do; he smiled when she allowed the lady to give her a hug. He had been afraid that with all the people around she may feel out of her depth.
The lady smiled at Tam. “You’ll be okay, you stick with Urs and you’ll be okay.”
Urs heard this statement and smiled at the lady as Tam squeezed his hand. As they moved off to talk to other fans down the line there was a loud bang and someone screamed and someone shouted “Gun!!!” another shot rang out and people fell to the ground, someone else shouted. “Stop him, someone stop him.”
Aaron Vaga was stood in the middle of the fans, most of whom were now on the ground.
Il Divo, Tam and Lea had stopped in their tracks. Vaga had the gun pointed at them all. As he pulled the trigger a fan managed to grab him, he stumbled but the gun fired. Again people screamed. Everyone looked around. The fans tried to stop Vaga as he crashed his way through the crowd, pushing and shoving people to escape.
Lea was shocked but far more furious that someone would try and shoot a Divo. She scanned all her friends they were all looking around to each other, making sure they were all okay.
Urs stood with a stunned look on his face. He smiled strangely at Tam and then put his hand to his stomach and watched the blood run through his fingers. It seemed surreal to him. It did not hurt too much but there was blood all over his hand. Again he looked at Tam but this time Lea saw him and she shouted. “Urs!!!” She ran to him as his eyes focused on her face and he fell to his knees. Tam followed him down. By the time Lea got to him the other Divos had realised that something was wrong. Urs spoke to Tam who was now holding his head in her lap. “I think I got shot.” And then he lapsed into unconsciousness.
Tam’s cry was so shrill it sent a ripple through everyone and everything. She held onto Urs tightly, so much so that Lea could not get to his injuries. “Tam you have to let me see.”
David, Carlos and Sebastien were now at Urs’ side. David pulled Tam away from Urs so that Lea could see what had happened. They were all shocked at the amount of blood covering Urs’ front and running down his side.
Sebastien put his hand on Lea’s shoulder. “How is he?”
“He’s loosing a lot of blood. Too much. Seb, we need to get him to a hospital and quick.”
Carlos looked on “How bad it is Lea?”
Lea just looked at them all, her hands still putting pressure on Urs’ wound and tears welling up in her eyes.
No one needed to ask anymore questions.
Urs was bleeding to death.
