After I filled my pockets with tools, I returned to the bar. I sat quietly at the furtherest end of the bar waiting for the bartender's ex. It was the best spot to be near her and to see the door.
"Would you like to dance Maxine," one of the guys I had seen around asked.
"I can't dance, I still have a bum leg. I am sorry," I said it just as politely as possible. I didn't want to piss anyone off. Since I considered myself to be working, I didn't need to have my attention divided. I needed to stay focused on the job at hand. There were several more invitations. I turned down as well, so I'm sure he didn't feel bad.
"So what's going to happen now?' The blond with black roots asked.
"To be honest that's up to you ex boyfriend. If he comes into the bar now, he probably just wants to vent. The best thing to do is to let him make an ass of himself, then ask him to leave. If he goes, all is right with the world."
"What if he doesn't leave?" she asked.
"He will leave there is no doubt, but there are also other possibilities," I suggested.
"Like what?" she asked.
"He could be out getting drunk and plans to have his say in the parking lot, when you leave. Now that is a little more dangerous. If that proves to be the case, he isn't just in a rage, he is thinking it out. Fewer, if any, witnesses, so it can get real serious real quick."
"Oh, that doesn't sound good." she said.
"Does he know where you live?" I asked.
"Yes," she said without further explanation. She looked worried.
"That is the worst. He could come to your house. I'm going to take care of all that for you. You just try to stay calm and do not have anything to say to him at all. Don't try to explain anything just let him vent, then I will talk to him sensibly."
I reached into my pocket and clicked Martin's 'special bic' which I had retrieved from the cruiser along with my other non lethal toys. Well most of them were non lethal.
"I need to know something right now," I demanded.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Do you still love this guy?" I asked.
"He beat me and he is threatening to do it again. No I don't love him," she said.
"Did you love him yesterday?' I asked.
"No, why do you ask?" she answered me with a question.
"Because, if I have to hurt him, I want to know you aren't going to try to stab me in the back with a butcher's knife." I said.
"I promise, I won't defend him in any way. I just want him to leave me alone." she said.
"I can't promise you that unless I kill him, and I'm not going to do that for a dollar," I said with a laugh. She laughed as well and that I considered to be a good thing. "Now get back to work and let me handle this. If he comes in tonight and makes a scene, go to the magistrate tomorrow for a restraining order."
We got the better of all the possibilities, when her ex boyfriend, Don, showed up about a half hour later. He had been somewhere else drinking to get in the right mood to make a fool of himself. He caught my client at the far end of the bar and began a quiet conversation.
I expected the volume to increase geometrically, and it did. Pretty soon he was shouting. It took her a while, but she finally remembered to just walk away. When she was safe, I walked to the end of the bar. "Don you need to leave now," I said almost in a whisper. I wanted his attention and that's the way to get it.
"If I don't?" he almost screamed.
"Then, I am going to have to eject you," I said smiling at him sweetly.
"Lady you got some balls to say that to a man twice your size," he said.
"Actually, you aren't twice my size. More like one and a half times my size, but since most of that is beer belly, it don't really count," I said continuing to remain calm.
"You are all fucking bitches," he said.
"Probably true, but you still need to leave before someone gets hurt," I said logically.
"Yeah you bitch," he said pulling back to hit me. Unfortunately for him, he pulled back like they do in the movies. I was sober and faster of mind and with better hand speed. I hit him first, but it wasn't with my hands. It was with fully charged stun gun. His body short circuited and he went down in a heap.
I thanked god that I had spent the extra bucks for the stun gun with the needle sharp probes. There had been no exposed areas, so I hit him through his knit shirt. The probes worked just as the salesman had promised.
I hadn't noticed the crowd before, but suddenly there was applause from the people who had been watching it. I was shocked to see it. Usually people mind their own business in a bar, but we had somehow managed to get an audience. It was over way faster than the drama leading up to it had been.
"Would someone please call 911. Have them send a cop at least, maybe the paramedics as well." I said that as I used a plastic zip tie on his hands. "Just in case he wakes up before the cops get here," I said to explain.
"Are you alright?" I asked the bartender.
"I'm fine, are you alright?" she asked in return.
"I'm fine, but I think now would be a good time for you to tell me your name." I said.
"God, I never told you did I? I'm Joyce." she said in a rush.
"Nice to meet you Joyce." I said it as she pushed a glass onto the bar.
"I expect you could use that," she said. "Don't worry it isn't booze."
I tasted the drink and found it to be very good lemonade. Sweet, Tart and filled with crushed ice. "Thanks, that is good." About that time the cops came and it got just plain crappy. They disarmed me before they even put Don in a squad car. They sat around interviewing the patrons until the Detectives got on scene.
Three days after her “ride out” with Andrea and Lucifer, Sandra was on her way to Andrea in her car. Today the promised party with Max, Andy’s Doberman, was about to happen. Sandra was looking forward to it so much and she hoped everything would go well. Suddenly she thought about her first experience with Max. She had been together with Andrea for 3 months then. It was her first relationship with a woman and Andrea had introduced her to a lot of new varieties of sex....
Max to Maxie Chapter 1 - New Beginnings As I lay on the gurney, with my wife Sandi sitting next to me, Dr. Madison came in. "Good morning Maxie, good morning Sandi", as she was shaking our hands. "Maxie, I know we already went over what we are going to do today but, I want to make sure that you understand what is going to happen. I'll be doing 3 procedures on you today. Up to now, the changes that have been made are reversible. But, after today they will be irreversible. I am going...
“My engorged clit needs to be licked and I want you all to watch. An extra turn on for me,” Maxine told us as she undressed for us. Donald was the first to lick her clitoris as Maxine stood with her back resting on the wall. The other three women were all watching on in awe as Donald teased her by licking just the tip of her clit. “Your huge, hairy clit is magnificent. Just a tease for you before my lady has you while you suck my cock,” Donald told her he stroked his erection. “Your huge,...
For years I had fantasised about a second man and in due course my current partner Roger made it happen for me. Initially I was apprehensive, however, after the first time I was hooked. Watching well-built younger men get naked for me and my man was very exciting for me. I love a man with a tight arse and comparing their erect cock with my man’s thick eight-inches. Our rules were outer sex only, licking and sucking and variations of oral sex – no intercourse. To be fair to my man we have a...
Friday was lost in a battle between the morphine drip and the blinding pain when I moved. The morphine kept me asleep most of the day. First thing Saturday morning things changed. "Maxine, how are you doing," the nurse asked. "Honey, I have slept enough. Cut back on the drugs please," I said it seriously. "Are you sure?" she asked. "I am positive. I need to get more with it, and I need to start now." I informed her. "Let me make a call and see what I can do," she said. "Do it...
I just woke up the next morning knowing that they were going to fix me. There was no announcement and no admission that they had screwed up initially. Nothing like that with a government agency of course. It was just you should show up on Friday and plan to spend the weekend. Yes, I was counting down the five days, but I also had to find Lois in those same five days. Dead or alive she was out there somewhere. First things first, I thought. I needed to interview the people at the Reverend's...
Max to Maxie Chapter 2 - Here today, gone to Maui After getting home and starting class again, we fell into a nice routine. I seldom wore my "old" clothes any more I liked the way my new clothes felt and fitted me. Sandi liked my hair curled so on one of our salon visits, I got a perm. To be honest, I loved how my hair turned out. I was still right on the edge of being unisex looking but, I still got called Miss at least a couple of times a week. Wearing the butt plug became second...
The other good thing about flying with PigShit Airlines was that I got to carry a pistol. Actually I carried two pistols and a box opener. I carried the Glock, 10mm ugly automatic, in a belt holster on my ass, and the .38 concealed hammer revolver in my purse. The flat box opener, I carried it in the hip pocket of my well worn jeans. The limo dropped me at the hotel, which was also chosen by our travel agent. I signed the register with Maxine's old signature, even thought I had a dozen more...
Max to Maxie Chapter 3 - Here Comes the Bride Today we all had a mani and pedi, an hour massage, a body wrap and scrub and an avocado mask with cucumbers over our eyes. By the time we were finished, it was time for a light, late lunch and shopping for the wedding. I didn't really realize how much there was to putting on a wedding. Even though Jacquie was having almost everything done by the wedding planner, she still wanted to check out the table clothes, dinner and silverware, the...

Maxine and Pam's Love Story by Pamela Taylor Oh, that Dominant TV was so mean! She really did rape and humiliate both of us. I will never consent to having her over again. I am so so sorry I thought of having a Dom play with us. It seemed like it would a real turn- on for both of us when we picked her up at the CD bar. I thought it would be fun. You are laying there limp still tied to the padded sawhorse. Damn, he is so so mean. I quickly untie you from the horse. You now just lay...
I felt really tired Saturday morning. It was a little bit of sleep deprivation and a little physical exertion. No not Ed, I had been to the Gym to work off some of the week's indulgences before the dinner party. It looked as though all of it together had caught up with me. Ed and his wife were the first to leave. I would have followed shortly thereafter, if it hadn't been my house. Even though I left the mess for the maid, I still had to stay awake until the last of the guests left. One...
I lay down with my plug sticking in the wall for the first hour, then I switched to free electrons for the rest of the night. By doing that I had free fun of the Downtown House. I walked around looking out the window and trying to think how I could give the kids at the community college even more help. Over the years I had hired them whenever I could. I just didn't have anything for the to do at the moment. I really had the resources to find something for them to do, but not everyone would...
After the first night I realized we needed an employee. Not necessarily a manager just someone to pick up dirty glasses and bring more ice to a table. One of the customers overheard me talking to Jennifer about it. "Maxine, I have a niece who is looking for work. She came here with just a high school education and not so good English. She is enrolled in your community college. She would love to work here and I promise you will have no trouble at all from her." "Have her come by tomorrow...
"Reggie, if you are wondering what to do next, you should probably kiss me." I said it even though we were standing in the kitchen. The hallway from the back door empties into the kitchen. That's where a lot of my conversations take place, just because of the geography of my Downtown House. Reggie might not have a lot of original thoughts, but he did follow orders well. He move close and kissed me. Even though he had to be ordered, there was a great deal of passion in that kiss. It was...
On Friday night, instead of getting laid, I decided to do the maintenance thing on my body. I cleaned the chutes and ladders as I liked to call the 'I fooled you by drinking coffee and eating donuts system'. That was simply a matter of drinking a glass of baking soda, with a drop of vinegar, mixture. Fortunately it passed over my taste receptor quickly. When I followed it with a large glass of pure water, I would be able to forget all about the taste for at least a month. I let that...
By Friday the word at the Downtown Diner was that Marge had disappeared, and the Hazelwood was closed for good.Being closed did not mean that it was for sale.Marge had only leased it, or so the story went.Since she couldn't be found and the owner knew more than he was telling, he was looking for a new tenant after only a week.All that meant almost nothing to me, but it did mean something to the preacher. "Maxine, you know a lot of people around here, how do you think they would react to a...
"So tell me exactly what you won at the awards show?" The man who lived in my second story apartment which was the least expensive of the group. I therefore expected no class at all from him or his wife and I wasn't disappointed. "I didn't win anything, The guy who put the show together one most dramatic reality show. It was a toss up whether it would be life and death or a foot race across the world. Mike won it thank god. If he hadn't won, he would be winning even now." I said...
"Maxine. we need to meet." The voice on the cell phone belonged to Vlad. "I'm at the house. It's going to take me twenty minutes to meet you anywhere." I explained. "I am at your gate now." "Alright, I'll turn off the alarm. Do you need me to come unlock the gate?" "No, I can get it open," He informed me. "I thought so," I agreed. I had time to pour a cup of coffee before Vlad showed up. I put the shotgun under the bedspread before I let him in. He didn't need to see the...
I had probably experienced jet lag previously, but I honestly didn't remember. I can promise you this, I will never forget the feeling again. My head was buried so far up my ass, I could see my last meal. I took another shower, not so much to wash away the sleep sweat, as to try to clear the cobwebs. "Hey girl," Lamar's voice came from the phone. I had answered it still dressed in my panties and bra. I knew that I was on camera, but I also knew that I had nothing worth flaunting. If...
"So Teneesha, I'm Maxine Stone. Jerry here tells me you are game for most anything?" I asked. "I ain't eatin' no pussy," she said defiantly. She said it in a harsh whisper, since we were sitting at a table in the Cop Out Club. "Tell me why you would even say that?" I asked. "Everybody knows you a stone lezbian," she said in a condescending voice. "I see, so if that bothers you, why did you come down here?" I asked. "Well, Jerry said I would love having a big TV star between...
"Maxine I am not going to leave you in a lurch," Sylvia said after the others had gone. She and I were sitting alone in the C&D finishing the coffee and cupcakes. For some reason it seemed that I could not get enough sugar recently. I had no idea why that was, but I actually got a craving for sugar. It was even more strange that after I ate something with a lot of sugar, my operating temperature seemed to rise slightly for an hour or so. "I didn't think that you would just walk off....
The 8PM Theater Guild meeting got started right on time. Since we lived downtown, Eve and I had walked to the meeting. The first order of business was discussing finances, wasn't it always. Aster was in a unique position for the times. It wasn't broke. Most every other town in the state was dead broke, but not Aster. For one thing Aster had never tried to be all things to all people. The work force was small and they had never offered huge incentives to attract workers. Aster's management...
"Give me your belt and lay across the bed. You know what is going to happen. You have have been a bad boy and need a spanking don't you?" I asked. "Yes Mommy," he said as he handed me the belt. Then he calmly lay across the bed for me. I began by striking him one stiff blow, then I eased off. After the initial pain it was for the illusion more than anything. "Now are you going to be a good boy?" I asked. It was time to set the hook. "Yes Mommy please, I promise I will be a good...
I spent two days watching Sylvia make calls. I would have made them myself, if I weren't trying to bring her into the business. She pared the potential appliance providers down to three. I allowed her to make the decision. She went with one that I might not have, but her reasoning was flawless. All the appliances were pretty much the same. Her supplier had all of them in stock from the water heater to the refrigerator. He would sell in small bulk packages three or four of each at a time. He...
The flight from Germany passed in a drug haze. I am one of those people who can deal with pain, as long as my mind is on other things. When it is just me and the pain, then I feel it much more intensely. So I was popping the Vicodin like M&M candies. But once I got to New York. there were enough going on to take my mind off the pain. At least enough so that it was manageable. Gwen and I got a cab to a pizza parlor in the Village area. It was fun to watch the kids walking the streets....
MAXINE I smiled as I left Chris at her dad's door. Of course I was not about to let her stop me from seeing Gus. I drove directly from the Evergreens Tower to the hospital five blocks away. At the receptionist desk, I asked, "Could you give me the room number of Gus Gallion please?" "He has been moved from ICU to the cardiac care unit. His room is 5012, he is on restricted visitor list though. It's family only." "I know, I'm his daughter. I was told the visiting hours were...
Thursday started with me headed off on the bike. I rode my bike to the Sit Down even though I had the ugly red Chevy in the parking space behind my Downtown House. I didn't need exercise, and I wasn't green conscious, I just enjoyed the slower pace of the bike as I carried me through downtown. Pedaling it along was not a problem, not even in the thirty degree temperature. Since Sylvia had arranged a meeting at the bank for me at nine, I ate slowly. Sylvia and Peter Gordon were both in...
The directions, which the Senator's staff provided, led us to a rough paved drive way entrance with a post and beam gate. I knew I was in the right place because there were armed guards, who looked like state police men at the gate. Fortunately there were no magnetometers for us to walk through. It would have been impossible of course, since the car I drove was metal. So was the 410 gauge stainless steel derringer inside my purse. Unfortunately, I would have to leave the pistol inside the...
For the next three days the world revolved around Cheryl and her family. I worked on Smiley some, but since I hadn't planned to start the introduction for two more weeks, nothing had to be changed. On that third day, Cheryl's father had another stroke and it was fatal. I had been expecting it and I am sure Cheryl and her step mother were as well. I rushed to the hospital the moment I heard. I did it to show my love for Cheryl, but also to be sure nobody tried to bully her. I had no idea...
I open my eyes and am momentarily disoriented; as my vision comes into focus, my surroundings, my body, everything comes flooding back to my mind in warm soft waves. I see the room is dimly lit, I hear the soft and even breathing of three distinct bodies, my sense of smell is awakened by the intoxicating cocktail wafting in the room – a mixture of my pussy juices, the sweet creaminess pooling between Amanda's thighs, Max’s manly presence, and scented massage oil, I lick my lips as I remember...
I tried to force myself out of bed on Friday. It was raining as if God was trying to douse the fires of hell. I half expected to find leaks in the roof of the cabin. I heard the drumbeat of the heavy rain on the metal roof instead. I had been told that most roofs leaked around thing like chimneys and dormers. Well, the cabin had none of those. The vent for the oil stove was through the wall. The metal pipe made a 90 degree turn up and past the roof. It was strapped to...
I was in the process of negotiating the details of my seduction by Eddie, when my pocket started to vibrate. It was after midnight, so it was either a wrong number or something important. I could tell from the phone view screen that it was Helen on the line. Since I had just seen the rebellious Julie, it was not a good sign. "What's the problem Helen?" I asked urgently. "Julie came home looking like a hooker a white ago. She and her dad had words, then she ran off into the woods. She...
Saturday pretty much passed like the other days since the accident. I was awake more of the day, but I still drifted in and out all day. The nurses brought me cup after cup of Helen's coffee. The biggest problem with the coffee was that I had to go to the bathroom more often. Getting in and out of bed was a real nightmare. First of all the pain was unbelievable. Even though it was only a few feet to the bathroom, it was still a nightmare. Fortunately the bed had enough controls, so that I...
"It's a small school in a small town, how much damage could you do?" Eve asked. "I could do a lot, if it gets picked up by some news service. We want all this town's secrets to stay secret. Besides which even without the organized thugs, there are the 'thugs are us' types out there. I know for a fact that there is a bounty on my ass." I said. "Some of these 'would be gunslingers' are too disconnected to know, that they can collect only grief if they hit me here." "Still let's...
The drive home didn't seem nearly as long as the drive up had. I wasn't anticipating my arrival home as much as I had been my arrival at the farm. All the renovations were completed. All that remained, for the time being, was just the battle of wits with the case officer. Actually I couldn't see us being at odds over the pending operation. I kind of liked the idea of blackmail parties. I had never done anything like it, but there was a first time for everything. My immediate problem was...
When I heard the knock at the rear door, I checked the security camera. Standing at my door were both Sylvia and Peter. I could also see his car parked in front of mine in the wide alley. He had obviously driven Sylvia into work. Since they had left work separately yesterday, there had to be a story in that. The time stamp on the computer set their arrival time ad 7:52. At least they were on time. I also noted that Sylvia had a plain brown bag, the kind mothers used to pack their kid's...
When I entered the conference room, I recognized Dr Bennet from my last overhaul, then there was Drake, my case officer, and two women I had never seen before. I sat across from them all and kept my mouth shut. Probably a first for me. "Well Maxine, we are holding this consultation verbally rather than just implanting our findings. So far we have found you respond better, if you have input." one of the women said. "That is true, I do tend to go along better, if I have some idea where I...
I hated to wait for other people. I shut the phone's cover, then went back into the dinning room. Shock of shocks there at the table sat not just Jerrod but Jack and Michael as well. "Well hello my pretty. pretty boys," I said mimicking the sound of the song Hotel California. Again from my dad's old collection of music. "Hello Maxine, we really should be upset with you for stealing our Simon Jerrod, but who can stay angry with you. You are so much bigger than life." Jack said to me....
I got to tell you, Lydia looked a hell of a lot better in the grunge style, than I do. Sean/Jack was at a place where he could take a break. That being the case, I forced her to dress in the clothes I bought for her. She looked almost gorgeous even in the baggy jeans and baggy football jersey. They did hide her glamorous side, but she still had that natural beauty coming through. I couldn't disguise that. Even so, she was going to be hard to recognize without some serious concentration....
Even though I did not have sex Saturday night and absolutely did not have a threesome, I still wanted pancakes. Harvey was up and moving even before me. He was back in the shower and in there a long time, while I pretended to be asleep. When I was sure that he was dressed and down checking his email or writing on his blog, I went into the bathroom. I did my morning things, I empty and sterilized the holding tank, then stood under the hot shower for a long time. I probably didn't need it as...
I was totally shocked by how involved I had been with the Irishman. I had to wonder, was it a software change, or was I evolving somehow. It did not matter one bit to me, which it was. The only thing important to me was how wonderful it had felt. I know what a cliche it is. but I had felt really alive during the experience. Maybe I felt that way for the first time, since I died. There I said it. I had died when they took my memories. It was the price I paid for eternal life. It had been so...
Jen had to be lied to just a little. She wanted to make reservations on a commercial airline, but I told her that the Admiral owed me a favor. He didn't of course, but I really did not want her to know that the farmers were our travel agents of record. We were scheduled to fly out Wednesday at noon on one of the company's planes. Since I could never walk through a metal detector or a body scanner. "So, how many airlines do you have a finger in these days," I asked the empty townhouse as...
"I tried to get in touch with you. You were traveling around Eruope with your new friends." Jen said. 'Ah, don't be jealous. It was a hide out trip that you negotiated with the feds remember?" I asked. "Yes I remember but now you are back and you have two weeks to clear out of the apartment and sign the papers." Jen informed me. "I guess I better get hustling around looking for a new place to live." I suggested. "That would seem to be a good idea," Jen agreed. "So, I have two...
I arrived back home via airplane from DC, then airport taxi service from the airport. I was in the Downtown House about forty five seconds before I unlocked my gun safe and put the .38 shoulder rig on. I felt better with some kind of self defense capability. The fat chick had impressed on me that I was not indestructible by any means. If someone turned me into scrap there was no guarantee they could or would salvage the computer and give me new life. I would be just as dead as the flesh and...
Nobody spoke in the car on the drive back to the Diplomat Lodge. When we arrived, I went directly into the bedroom. I left the two of them to decide their sleeping positions. Then I plugged myself in and waited for any updates. Maxine the party was a huge success, the controller informed me. We are confident that the invitations will begin to roll in. We will sort through them for you, under the guise of the agent assigned to you by the network. You are entitled to an agent, now that you are...
"What do you say to a naked man?" I asked Billy. "Sounds like a country song title to me," he admitted. At the time of that exchange we were sitting on the stainless steel and leather chairs of my dinning set, while we finished the warm up coffee. "You know for a woman your age, your boobs are holding up well," Billy said. "Is that like? You don't sweat much for a fat girl?" I asked. 'I didn't mean it that way at all. I was just marveling at what the doctors can do now. You...
After I said my goodbyes, I tried to hide out till the call came from the company's travel agent. I might have managed it, had Jen not called, "Are you really going to sell the apartments?" she demanded. "Yes I am. I didn't have nearly as much fun here as I expected." I replied. "Honey, I know Cheryl broke your heart, but trust me you will find someone, someday," Jen said reassuringly. "Yeah, but if I do, you will probably sleep with him," I said it with a laugh. "True, so you...
The timing was correct almost to the minute, when the knock came on Cheryl's door. My reaction couldn't have been more inappropriate. "How the fuck did she get through the security gate?' I asked Cheryl. "If you have somehow gotten Kate a key, I am gonna throw your ass out of here." "Shut up and open the door," Cheryl demanded. I looked through the spy hole in the door to see Gwen standing outside. "What the fuck are you playing at now?" I asked, just before I opened the...
Just like in my other life the urge to screw just anyone at all passed quickly. Without any 'romance' the animal urge passed easily. Okay that was probably bullshit in the new wrapper and maybe it had been in the old wrapper as well, but it helped me to stay sane. No woman, not even the sluttiest, wants to believe that they are beyond being able to say no to a man. I went into power saving standby mode. I just sat there like a microwave oven which was not being used at the moment. My clock...
After not getting much information from the estimator, I made a call to Jennifer's office. "Maxine, how good to hear from you," the receptionist said. It was something new for people to check the caller ID and then act as if you were a long lost friend. I found it not just disingenuous but also insulting. "Thanks, did you get me the number for the prison gangster's lawyer?" I asked. "Yes, but I'm not sure Mr. Garcia's lawyer will see you?" she said. "Oh, I bet if I offer to pay...
There was one good thing about that first morning back. I got to wake Jen at 6AM, so that she could get home change and be at her office by 9AM. I made coffee for us both. My sense of taste wasn't refined enough to tell good coffee from terrible coffee, but I did remember how to make it. Like Eve had said the warm liquid was relaxing. I had the increased benefit of remembering how good coffee did taste. Memories was heightened, just because I no longer had the same feelings. Heightened to...
This week’s show begins with that same old rusty bedstead, and that same old dirty mattress. Pausing to take in the magnificent filthiness of it, then pulling back to reveal the bare concrete floor around it, and to take in the harsh lighting. And then we hear our guest of the week approaching, quick little footsteps ... Light clicks on the studio floor. We pan round to see what we’ve got this week and see a slight, pale, small-boobed lady walking in quick, short strides ... She’s not is a...
For my part of the agreement with Lucas, I agreed not to speak badly of his company. I further agreed not to enter into any competitive business for that same five year period. I signed immediately after Lucas and we even shook hands. Once Lucas was gone Jen asked, "Have you ever heard of Blackswamp Security company?" "Of course, no one who ever served in Iraq or even Afghanistan could have avoided hearing of them." I replied. "So what is your opinion of them." Jen asked. "It's...
After the excitement of the fake doctor died down, time passed slowly, but it did pass. I hated every lucid moment of my hospital stay. By Friday the catheter was gone, and only one bag draining into my arm. I finally was able to stay awake long enough to meet with Jerry on Friday night. "So Jerry, what's the word on Beth Ann? You told her, didn't you?" "Yeah, I told her that we knew. She was gone the next morning. I told her the night you got stabbed." "She just left us both the...
When I awoke Sunday morning in the strange bed, it took me a few minutes to remember where I was, as well as how I got there. I had a feeling as if my mouth was wearing an overcoat.
