The raid along the New Jersey line was a big overall success. Very few of the Mud Devils did not participate, and most were still in jail waiting arraignment by the District Attorney in Trenton, New Jersey. As far as anyone knew, Kathy Ray and Nick Manelli were killed and Roland "Swine" Swinney was wounded while charging down the men who shot his friends.
Once in the helicopter headed to Baltimore, the agents unzipped the body bags, letting Nick and Kathy out. They peeled each other's now exploded "wounds" off, and washed up some with some antiseptic wipes. Then the jackets would go to the "evidence" file at the FBI crime lab. To authenticate the evidence, the jackets would be cleaned, and then blood that had been drawn from each, was saturated around the "bullet holes".
"Where are we going?" Nick asked the agents assisting them with their clothes.
"Baltimore, for now." The woman agent answered. "There you get your new identities. Mike, since you were using an alias all the time anyway, you can go by your given name, and you can get your hair lightened back to brown, lose the moustache, and stop dying it black every month."
Then she turned to Kathy and said, "From now on you are Mary Jankowski. That should be easy to remember." Jankowski was her grandmother Louise's mother's name in the family, but nobody in Philadelphia knew her by anything but Ray.
"You have just become your third cousin, that died when she was eighteen months old." The agent continued, "and you will be a Cherry Cordial Bright Auburn, a redhead. You have time to shower and wash your hair in Baltimore."
She showed Mary (formerly Kathy) the sample picture. Mary said, "Now, that is hot looking! Will I get it styled too?"
"Yes when you leave Baltimore," the woman said, "You will have a professional 'makeover' on the plane, and a new set of luggage with the clothes that you picked out."
"When we get done with the two of you," the male agent said, "you could walk past FBI agents at the airport watching with your old pictures in their hands!"
He continued, "You won't get much sleep today since at 0800 you catch an agency 727 from Baltimore to Seattle with a stop in Minneapolis. It will be about a six hour flight, and arrive at about 11:20 local time. You will then be taken outside SeaTac Airport and brought back in to catch Alaska Airlines flight 67 at 1530 with one stop in Ketchikan and arrive in Sitka at 1804.
There Captain McHenry of the Alaska State Police Academy will meet you. From the moment you arrive in Seattle, you are residents of Alaska. They will give you your new ID and tickets on the flight to Seattle, including your Alaska drivers licenses."
The Helicopter touched down in a section of Baltimore Washington International Airport, where they were rushed inside under hooded parkas in the pre-dawn darkness. The two agents wished them luck, then went to refuel and help evacuate some of the injured from the raid gone bad up on the Eastern Shore.
Mike and Mary met another team of male and female agents. They were separated and brought their clean clothes they had packed prior to the operation. They both showered and washed their hair, and dressed in their casual clothes. Then they were each shown to a room with a bed that looked like it was Army surplus, because it was.
The male agent said, "You have time for about 90 minutes of sleep. I suggest you make the most of it."
They both collapsed on top of the beds in their clothes and fell asleep shortly thereafter. What seemed like immediately after they fell asleep, the female agent rapped on the door and told them to get moving. They washed their faces and went to find some coffee and donuts. They were then handed their personal things in carry on size duffel bags and two large garment bags. Mary had a new purse to carry her things in. The wallet contained $500 in cash, and a new Social Security Card and number, new Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express cards, and Alaska Airlines Frequent Flyer card.
The outer door opened and they were ushered into a government car and driven to a blue and white Boeing 727-100 and ushered up the stairway into the plane. "The cargo is on board," a female flight attendant/agent told the pilots, as the stairs were pulled away and they were directed to what looked like a beautician's cubicle with a pair of seats in each. The jet began to taxi, and Mike and Mary buckled in. A few minutes later, the pilot turned off the seat-belt light, and the leader of the crews assigned to them and another couple, said, "Let's get to work!"
Four hours later Kathy Ray ceased to exist and Mike looked like he was never even kin to a Nick Manelli. Mary had a new hairstyle, to go with her "Cherry Cordial" red hair. They had the start of a new wardrobe for both, and their new driver's licenses made on the plane. Just before they landed, each was given their plane tickets and itinerary.
The agent coaching Mary told her, "You will notice your new drivers license says you are 21. That is so you can go into the State Troopers with Mike. With your new hairstyle, you look like you are 21."
The other couple was to go to Portland, Oregon. He was a City Policeman in Easton, Maryland that had done the same thing as Mike and Mary. The woman with him was his wife, and not at all happy about having to undergo the move.
When the plane landed, it was met by two cabs; one for each couple to take them out of the airport the back way, and at five minute intervals come in through the main entrance. Once past the check in counter, they had about 3 hours and 15 minutes to eat before the flight and found a cafeteria near their gate. At 20 minutes till, they went to the gate just as they were about to call for boarding.
Once the plane took off they managed to get nearly two hours sleep before the jet landed in Ketchikan. While they waited for the plane to re-board they walked through the end of the terminal and back, just to stretch their legs. When they arrived in Sitka, and Capt. McHenry met them, Mary recognized him from the academy brochure. He carried an Alaska State Trooper Parka for each, and mittens.
"It's five below zero outside," Capt. McHenry said. "You will need these. The wind chill is around minus forty!"
Mike asked, "Where are we going?"
"The barracks at the State Police Academy," Capt. McHenry answered against the wind as they climbed into the Suburban with big snow tires. Once inside they didn't have to shout over the biting wind.
"You will be here for three weeks before we post you to Fairbanks for your winter survival training." Capt. McHenry told them. "Sort of a familiarization and acclimatization period."
"Where will we be assigned?" asked Mary.
"Pretty much every part of the state," Capt. McHenry replied. "We need two officers at Cordova, on the coast at the moment. Unlike on the outside, or Lower 48, people don't take summer vacations; they take winter vacations and go somewhere warmer. At first you may be moving around a lot covering for those troopers on vacation."
"That will familiarize you with the different duty posts," Capt. McHenry said. "You get to know the people you will be calling in to help you, and be called in to help."
"How do we get around," Mike asked.
"Department of Public Safety aircraft or helicopter when you can fly, snowmobile or dogsled when you can't, air taxi, or commuter flights if need be. Up here, it seems as though every third person is a pilot. In the summer months possibly on horseback into remote areas." Capt. McHenry explained. "The next two weeks you will learn snowmobile operation, be introduced to the dogsled, and learn survival skills that can save your life. When you go on to Fairbanks, you will go through a new Winter Survival School, so we don't lose you when we send you into the bush."
He continued, "On March 1, I believe you take over the McGrath outpost for four weeks. Then you will rotate to St. Mary's for another four weeks. After St. Mary's you will probably be working Cantwell, Talkeetna, or Palmer on the Parks Highway. By July 1st we should have you an assigned station for a year or two. However, in an emergency you may be sent anywhere from Ketchikan in the far south panhandle, to Barrow on the North Slope, or as far west as Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians."
"As you recall from your own experience with your family last summer, Mary," Capt. McHenry added. "You may have to go into the bush to investigate a crime, an accident, or a death of any sort, where the possibility of a crime exists."
Shortly the vehicle pulled up in front of the State Trooper Barracks and they went inside. The Duty Officer snapped to attention when the Captain entered and saluted. Capt. McHenry returned his salute and then explained, "In the major cities we do maintain a stricter regimen than in the Bush. Important state officials are less likely to drop into some place like Coldfoot or Aniak unannounced than they are here at the Academy, Anchorage or Juneau, the State Capitol."
They walked down the hall to another office and a sergeant rose to his feet. "Sergeant Johansen," Capt. McHenry introduced them, "These are the newest Alaska State Troopers, Mike Donnelly, and Mary Jankowski."
Johansen extended his big hand in greeting, "Welcome to the 'frozen section' of the US," he said. "Follow me to your quarters for the next three weeks. Dinner is at 1830 (6:30) and breakfast will be at 0630. You can have the rest of the night as your own, to explore our little 'True Crime Library', meet some of your fellow troopers, or get some sleep. Knowing what you will be doing the next three weeks I recommend sleep when you can get it. If you have questions, other than the restrooms, which are at the end of the hall, feel free to ask. Here are your quarters." Then the three Troopers walked back to the front.
Mary looked at Mike and said, "Did we join the State Troopers, get drafted into the Marines, or actually die and go to Hell?"
"All of the above, I think." Mike answered, as he looked at a map of Alaska with the Trooper Stations marked with numbered pushpins. "Damn, we aren't even close to the farthest north station!"
"How did we get this assignment?" Mary asked, "And the other couple got Oregon?"
"From what I can gather," Mike answered, "the rest of your family is up here, and you wanted to be nearby. As for me, I requested to be with you wherever you went."
"That was sweet of you Mike," she replied. "I'm glad you did."
"I just hope we don't have to go through a psychiatric evaluation," he said, "or I'm toast! To think I could be in Tucson, Arizona right now doing Border Security."
They entered a lounge area where the news was on, and for the first time learned of the extent of their success in the raid. They had seized 6 of the 8 trailers and most of the dope. Their own operation was the most efficient with 100% of the participants arrested and the drugs recovered with just three casualties, only one real one. That is when they learned Swine was wanted for that rape and murder in Georgia. Mary winced at the thought of being that close to a murderer.
They looked at each other and Mike said, "Talk about cutting it close!"
It was because of Mary getting Mike inside the Mud Devils that he had gained such good intelligence. This enabled the teams to completely contain the 60 odd bikers, and recover all of the drugs. However, since Nick and Kathy were now dead, there could be no commendations. Their promotion was the waiver of all but the most essential training, which they had at the other academy, and their immediate assignment to the Alaska State Police, which they did find out, paid far better than the Philadelphia PD.
I am a free lance photographer and an artist who has managed to combine my two talents into a one of a kind, new media that represents the artist in me in the form of photographic imaging. I do landscapes mostly, although I have been known to stray into other subjects on occasion, but my landscape work is what brought these people to the table to discuss the possibility of this very large set of works that they want commissioned and now this damn phone will not shut up with its constant...
It was my first time going to Cheyenne Frontier Days. I wanted to write this as soon as I got home because it was and still so vivid in my mind. We were walking along some vendor booths and enjoying all of the nice people and the weather when all of a sudden an older man riding a road bike pulls up close to the walkway and stopped and got off his bike and started walking through the crowd.Now it might not seem like any big deal so far but I was standing wait for my wife to buy something at the...
The Final Frontier By Mary Beth Sanford Synopsis: (Expanded Version of: To Boldly Go): The most dangerous jobs in space could only be done by men, brave men. Some would say the bravest of men. No one knowing what these men have gone through would deny them that praise. Most would shudder thinking about their sacrifice because for those men to do what they do they must first give up being men. Story notes: Hi... The Final Frontier is a result of some outstanding inputs...
THE FINAL FRONTIER Seeing What I Could See #9. Fantasy based on a shred of fact! My relationship with my “Auntie A” was now been going on for nearly 9 years. It started as fairly innocent curiosity on my part as a p*****n about mature, full figured women of which “A” was a prime example. I had carried a fondness for her since c***dhood because she had no c***dren and always treated me as her own and she dressed and acted so much more “free-spirited” than Mom and my other aunt. She...
The Final Frontier Part 1 I sat on the worn, wooden, park bench staring up into the sky. A gentle breeze brought scents from fresh-cut grass and roses from the field and garden nearby. "It's you, isn't it? You're Sam Shepherd." Shaken from my thoughts, I nodded the affirmative at the little boy whose mother stood protectively nearby. "You're flying up there tomorrow?" The boy pointed towards the sun. "Yes. Maybe one day you'll be an astronaut as well?" "Not me. I'm going...
(Monday night — Cyberspace) Beezle locked the terrified and sobbing Harmony Gifford in a closet bound and gagged. She was still clad only in her Winnie the Pooh underwear from Beezle's photo shoot. The newest chapter in his janitor story was being composed and it included the janitor kidnapping a girl on her way home from school that day. He was doing everything that he could to make it look like Jerry was writing a "How to" manual of child abduction and rape. Lester though in his...
Darla Reynolds had finished her shift at 2:00 a.m. as usual, and made her way to her 2002 Subaru Forester parked in the employee lot at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, where she worked assisting with the Baggage Claim. Typically frigid in the month of February, a storm blew in just before midnight. At her car, her attempt to open her door was hampered by someone pouring water into her door, and freezing the locking mechanism. When the remote door lock wouldn't work, Darla...
Roxie completed her application to the State Police Academy, and was accepted. She figured they were desperate if she got in. Roxie was a tough woman though, and wouldn't take grief from anyone. The night after the incident, she went with Tim and Marie to the hospital to see Officer Langley. He was still in serious condition, and barely recognized them. "Now I know why you were standing over the SOB like that," Langley croaked. "My Captain told me that he raped one of you, and he had...
(Alaska State Police Academy, Sitka, Alaska) Mike and Mary satisfactorily completed their snowmobile training. The next week would be spent discussing techniques, and procedural things like the various reports and how to secure assistance when needed. How to requisition transportation from one point to another in routine and emergency situations was also discussed. At the instructor's suggestion, Mike signed up for pilot training. This required more time, in addition to what was required,...
As morning came Darla awoke to a relatively toasty 52 degrees inside the cabin. Checking the fire, she added a new log to the smoldering coals and more newspaper to get it burning. Through the easterly facing window, she could see that it would be daylight soon, meaning that it was probably around 8:00. The days were getting longer, and that increased the possibility of someone coming to rescue her. She had a headache from the previous day's exposure to the ether, but how long had that kept...
As the Cessna 170 was towed into a hangar requisitioned at Girdwood Airport, and disassembled to gather more evidence, a hunter found the burnt out Buick near Soldotna. A team was sent to go over it. As Sgt. Tim Sealy and his senior officer, Lt. Jim Conway arrived at Girdwood Airport the next morning, they was met with the somber face of Trooper Paul Evers who was stationed at Girdwood. "Collins found this under the seat of the plane we are taking apart," Evers told them, handing Darla's...
(Nome, Alaska, May 20) The promotions for Captain and Lieutenant came through, and Lt Steve Randall, had made Captain in the Alaska State Troopers. His new duty post was going to be Juneau, the Capitol. Bill Dawson made Lieutenant, but would be assigned to Galena. A young Lieutenant from Anchorage named Jim Conway would be heading up the Nome office. CIB Captain Clark was the new Deputy Commandant, and Lt Fred Collins was promoted to Captain over the CIB in Anchorage. Longtime Anchorage PD...
Two weeks after Kathy Ray graduated from the Philadelphia Police Academy, she was given her assignment with her partner and now her fiancé, Nick Manelli. Kathy had a girlfriend from school, Carmine Kennedy, who had joined the "Mud Devils", an outlaw biker gang. The "Devils" were the distributors for one of the largest crime syndicates on the East Coast. Jerry was the leader of the local Devils chapter, and Carmine was his little sister. Kathy was also the "key" to getting someone...
Roxie hadn't been to Anchorage since 2002 for fear of running into the bikers. The first stop was Darla's hairdresser, where Roxie had a cut and perm. This took up most of the morning, but when she was done, she would fit in at any mall or grocery store once she had some different clothes. That would be the next stop after lunch. With a new look, Roxie then went to State Police Headquarters. There she gave her deposition on the woman who was dumped the year before, and Clyde shooting Bugs....
The Cravens checked into the Bighorn Hotel on Monday afternoon. The next morning they confronted me — Marina, Mercury, Marco. I was making my first rounds of the day when the three of them, dressed in black, burst out of Clare’s Cafe. They’d been waiting for me. Clare and her colored man, Hubert Greene, peeked out at us from the front window. Cayuse was back at the jail. One of the twins, Marco or Mercury, fast-stepped out into Market Street, about twenty feet to my left as I faced north....
(McGrath, Alaska Sunday evening, March 28) Mike and Mary bundled up to go outside when the plane arrived. Mary dressed Karen in a sweat suit and some heavy socks and wrapped her in two blankets. A small jet was not that much of a rarity anymore. More and more people had them. This one was rather unusual, and they correctly concluded it must be new. Mike took the snowmobile out to the runway where he could now see the landing lights of the Honda Jet on final approach. After the plane landed,...
Mike would check the records of the general aviation services at Nome's two airports for the days before and after the abductions. Then he would forward that information to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Seward Trooper Posts so they could compare what they had on the same time periods as the kidnappings. It would turn out there was a black and red Piper Cherokee, an older low-wing model, that had been in on both days and the day before. There was also a Piper Chieftain twin engine, but he had...
(Over the Bering Sea almost to Siberia) "Lord" Robert Pitts, former Lt. USAF medical discharge, was flying with his two "Priestesses" and a body guard in the black and red Piper Cherokee at 200 feet above the Bering Sea headed 260 degrees west toward Providenya Bay Airport where a former Soviet KGB Agent awaited him. "Lord" Pitts' bodyguard with him in the plane was in reality Nikolai Bitschenko a former Russian Agent. Along with three of the so-called Elders and his High Priestess...
(Crazy Moose Saloon, Anchorage) Ember was a 5-foot-ten "sandy" blonde, including her now exposed, and neatly trimmed bush. She had C-cup size breasts with nipples that stuck out as if to say "in your wildest dreams". Ember had come from one of the Dallas clubs during the summer, and was now working out her contract so she could leave and go home. She had just three more weeks to go. The money was good, in fact the best she ever dreamed of working as an exotic dancer, but the talent...
(Anchorage, Crazy Moose Saloon) Upon Chris' arrival and the stir he would cause as a blind man in a strip club, and then threatening to invoke the Americans with disabilities act they figured as long as he didn't touch, he was welcome to sit drink and listen to the music. He and Echo became popular with the girls as well. They loved to pet Echo, and they would give Chris a lap dance that bordered on "illegal", since he was "unable to see them perform on stage." Chris kept his ones in...

(Homer, Alaska, on the tip of the Kenai Peninsula) As the CIB team worked to unravel the trail of Manny Pepper, he seemed to move farther down the peninsula to the town of Homer, at the very tip. Ben Langley seemed to think they were getting close, but Tim suspected that he would make a jump. The AST at Homer were watching the airport, and the ferry. As if to taunt them even more, a girl in Homer was snatched waiting for her father outside the restroom at one of the restaurants near the...
She caught on quickly to just what was happening. She pieced together her memories - tiny parts of what happened earlier appeared in her mind's eye. "Holy fucking shit" She remembered what she could only describe as a ghost attacking her and miss Smith. "Why would a ghost lock me in a closet?" she said under her breath as she tugged at her binds. Then she heard a booming voice in the distance "NO!" and then a commotion. Glass shattered. Furniture screeched. A girl shrieked out in...
The giant beast drew a circle around Carl. Its fangs were bared as it growled and snarled. A sense of fight or flight erupted in Carl- he needed to either run or fight. Then his saving grace came; "Fenris- down" Danielle placed her hand atop the wolf's head hushing him. The animal circled in behind her and followed her as she approached Carl, walking with long seductive strides. “It’s you…” Carl cursed, yet he was relieved. “Who else do you know who can create...
“Carl… boy is that you?” a man maybe 20 years older than Carl shook his shoulder to see if he was alive. Carl looked at him through hazed eyes. The man turned his head and shouted out of the cottage. Carl couldn’t make out the words; he had been stuck in that cabin for over a week. Before Carl knew it he was being hoisted up and carried out of the cabin. His mind went dark and he woke on the back a truck moving fast over the snow. He blacked out again… He woke in the doctor’s office with a...
This story is the adventure of Carl, a 17 year old Alaskan, who has a run in with an ancient spirit. This spirit had been roaming the earth since its conception and had since gotten. She had decided to start entertaining herself by playing with mortals. And in doing so, over the eons, she had created several myths all around the world. But in the time of this story she was working on a new project... that lead into a whole new one. She ends up bestowing powers onto Carl; these powers...
‘You have a G spot too, you know’, Sally mentioned as we lay cuddling after a lazy afternoon fuck. I had my eyes closed, laying on my back, enjoying the post orgasmic bliss of a leaden body, and the soft touch of my lovers body molded with mine, our legs entwined, her fingers languidly tracing patterns on my chest as she lay on her side next to me. ‘Hmmmmmm?’, I responded, her words not really sinking in. ‘You have a G spot, or, more correctly, a P spot…in your bum. I’ve been reading about it...
I had been married for thirteen years and with her for sixteen. I had tried to fuck her up the arse on more occasions than I care to rmember,but I always got he cold shoulder and the usual put down. ‘It’s disgusting’. Wow…where do these women learn this shit? How to turn ardour into odour in one quick sentance…such a gift. Like trying to get a blow job for fucks sake. ‘You pee out of it’. Ok… ‘You talk crap but I still kiss you don’t I’. After years of pleading and cajoling I finaly got a blow...
"Attention. All qualified personnel for cryostasis chamber management, proceed to Loading Bay 7 for shipment." It was Year 4XXX, and Jay was a bored technician waiting on the clearance working on Port ASS. As funny as it had been to him, the way it was named, the joke got stale after the past three months he had been here. This was a research facility, and that meant automated processes, low lethality rates, and tons of technology just being developed by the most sophisticated and smart, but...
John Doe, one of the strangest summoners in the Akras Summoner's Hall. While he is quite skilled at summoning, managing to summon near-perfect replicas of the units, he barely ever takes credit for his acomplishments, preferring to remain in the shadows and use his units for "other purposes", whichever they may be. He is known to be good friends with leader of the Hall Grahdens, and they occasionally meet to do activities in his house, though no one, not even his co-leader Own, is aware of what...

ToysI vaguely remember Spock warning me about the potential dangers of approaching this odd singularity too closely. It was powerful and appeared to be more than a little unstable — all the more reason to get a bit closer to send in a probe or two and give it a complete look-over with short range sensors. Star Fleet would really want to know all about this singularity as they rarely lasted long enough to dispatch a science ship there before they burned out or do whatever it is these special...
It was to be their last voyage on the Shuttle. The funding was gone. The program was winding down into uncertainty. Major Mike Major was a little depressed at the waste of decades of scientific research being chucked aside in favor of less expensive robotic exploration of space. He kept his opinions private; of course, Military members usually had to check their opinions at the door in a "shit rolls downhill" environment. Major Major was joined by "Scotty" Simpson, the investigative...
To the Senate and People of Rome from Q. Cassius Sextus, Senior Tribune, Legio XIV, Hale! I am commanded by Didius Claudius Meritus, Governor of Phrygia to offer the following report into the causes of the late unpleasantness in the city of Atarbraxis, since renamed Pentium. I know you will be all familiar with the facts regarding the results of the rioting - the Forum ruined, approximately half of the city's dwellings either destroyed or severely damaged by the ensuing fires, etc. etc. The...
Life on the Station We had to float ourselves out to the boarding dock into Yuri Gagarin City. Thank God for Velcro booties and wrist pads. When we got to the hub, we had to negotiate the rotating hub air lock. We would get to do that a lot. In the hub there were six elevator-like doors. They opened into compartments that went from the hub to the wheel. These were to transition from zero G's at the hub to 0.8 G's at the rim of the wheel. There were also access tubes that had ladders. I was...
Once the speed neared light the lid to the little black box was lifted. The ship rose and felt like it was going over the Milky Way instead of through it. Stars were flashing by reminding John and Jenny of being back on earth watching falling stars from the sky on a clear night. Willy had brought his box of Legos. The kids had them over in the corner and were having a ball. They would put something together then look at the screen for a minute. Ben and Chuck went over to Iceman (Bill...
I’d learned from Ying Lee that being the purchasing agent for Camp Métis was a pretty lucrative post. The fort was on the Missouri River, not that far from the mouth of the Judith. Near where Camp Cooke had been before they abandoned it to the rats back in 1870. The Army needed beef and the purchasing agent supplied it. And, he determined the price he would pay the ranchers. Another whore, my pal Masie, told me, “They got over 400 soldiers stationed there. To protect the steamboat traffic,...
The Territory came through with the prison construction money — $85. It wouldn’t be much of a town jail, two cells big enough to hold four or five miscreants each if Little River had a sudden crime wave. But it made the growing town proud, our new jail. The builder had to knock out part of the back wall of our office and build a 10 by 15 addition. I ended up sort of job foreman and passed on Hank Mosby’s ‘sale’ lumber. It wasn’t part of the Territory contract, but Cayuse and I ended up...
After our first encounter and the measures we put in place to safeguard our privacy, G. and I were both excited with our situation. G. as a 17yr old boy had gone to heaven! There, a young girl, sexy (I hope he found me sexy at that age!!) very much willing to do sexual exploration with him. At an age and in an era, where most 17yr olds were ,let alone ,virgins, but with no sexual experience apart from their right hand and fingers, G. had struck gold. And me, I was curious…I was fascinated with...
What a weekend! Davie managed to persuade Claudia to get out of bed, and the statuesque black girl, 6 feet tall in her bare feet, made Louise and Jessica gasp as she clambered out of Davie's car and immediately clutched her boyfriend's arm. Her spare hand reached down and cupped his balls. One way and another, Davie wasn't going anywhere. Claudia must have had a sex-free drive down here. Not only was she as randy as a bitch in heat - you could practically smell it when she came into the...
The first time I borrowed the hotel’s one-horse buckboard from the Bighorn so Rebecca could ride down to see her family, I followed her on Scarface. Stayed just out of sight, but she wasn’t checking her flank. I got my spyglass out and could see Chet and Rosie standing in front of the house. If he tried anything, I’d fire both barrels of my scattergun up into the air. The sound would carry easy, even this far away. But he just stood off to the side as she hugged her daughter, held her as...
What Rebecca had spotted in that magazine from back East was an illustrated article about quilting. She and her mother and sisters had done some before she ran off with Chet. And now she was determined to get back into it in a serious way. These days Rebecca was working in the Bighorn Restaurant, waitressing for both lunch and dinner. Dinner was the big draw. She was a volunteer, wouldn’t take a dime from Mrs. Chambers. Would the money have helped her husband with his debts to Ollie...
I didn’t wait to see if Marshal Autry would wire me back. I found myself missing Rebecca. And I had my whorehouse duties. I stopped at the Robinson homestead. Yeah, Cayuse Valdez had told them what we found. Yeah, the ranchers would keep watch, keep their guns handy. But they had to work, always more to do. Rosie nodded at me as I mounted Scarface. A first. I gave her a little salute and wheeled Scarface around. A week since I’d ridden south with Cayuse. The three Chippewas were in the...
The Bighorn sporting ladies turned into mother hens, flocking around Rosie. She was surrounded by gentle attention, by affection. Which, I figured, was mostly to the good side of the ledger. Rosie was clingy with her mother. Rebecca had been overwhelmed with emotion. Joy, relief, guilt ... mostly joy, I think. The two of them, mother and daughter, were inseparable. But Rosie still hadn’t said a word. Of course no one asked her about what she’d been through. Not with the Chippewas, not with...
My room on the third floor — our room, I guess — had a rocking chair, a handsome walnut job that Rebecca had comforted up with a thick pillow filled with goose down and a red cover she stitched together herself. I liked to sit on it of an evening and sip a sip or two of Jameson. Rebecca had taken to undressing and then straddling me when she was in a certain mood. We put that chair through some pretty fast paces. Sometimes, when we’d finished, she’d squeeze me, keeping me corralled until all...
Cayuse and I, feet up on opposite sides of the sheriff’s desk, were sipping after-breakfast coffee that Rosie had brought us from the Bighorn. He said, “Take a ride, jefe?” Talkative this morning. “Sure. Where?” “Sodbusters.” It was outside our jurisdiction, some miles south of town. But things from the outside often slopped over city boundaries. And if Cayuse suggested it... We got our mounts from Livery Lou and wheeled them left, past the Holy Redemption, past Matty’s Bar, past the...
We decided to picnic down by that little creek. Rebecca spread out a blanket and Rosie unpacked our lunch. Simple, just ham and biscuits and some corn whiskey to sip on. No need for a cooking fire. Rosie looked at her mother and Rebecca laughed out loud. Rosie grinned. Rebecca jumped up, “Mr. Murdock, that creek water looks mighty inviting. Care to join us?” Rosie stood too and, bold as brass, the two of them started unbuttoning their dresses. Not a care in the world. I stood up, looked...
I would never win any speed contests sending telegrams. My fingers are big and they felt clumsy tapping on the key. But I’d had enough experience to send a message on my own. And to decode incoming ones. It was a small talent, but learning how to do something new never had hurt me. Hunting and fishing were new once. Skinning. Roping. Shooting. Of course everything at Mrs. Adler’s had been new at one point. Credit due, Ollie Chambers may be portly and soft and over-careful around his...
Cayuse carried a Smith & Wesson Model 3 revolver, .44 caliber. When he made his rounds in Little River, he usually left his Winchester rifle locked in the office. But he always carried that wicked-looking Bowie in his belt scabbard. Always. Just like I took my eight-gauge with me when I walked the town. More habit than necessity. The first time the Bighorn bartender, Cheney, saw it, he asked if I hunted locomotives. My first day in town. Well, we didn’t have any locomotives here, but my...
Rebecca and I waited to order breakfast until Rosie and Cayuse came down to join us. Rosie was a little flushed, Cayuse looked the same. The Bighorn had eggs that morning, went good with salt pork and biscuits and honey. Rosie and Cayuse didn’t mention the previous night so neither did Rebecca and me. I figured Rosie and her mother would talk things over when they were alone. Although, thinking on it, Rosie was just as likely to talk with me. She’d gotten in the confiding habit back when...
Evening didn’t take long to reach Little River, but the town never got all that quiet. Saloon laughter and arguments, a lone coyote off howling about something important to him, the wind whipping through. Sometimes I felt the night was talking to me, trying to tell me something. Word had come from Cleveland, via Kansas City, to pull in their murder suspect. Hold Venerable until further instructions arrived. It was a law enforcement request, not an order, but I was more than ready to...
The three of us were in our usual position in bed — Rosie on my left, Rebecca on my right. Our body heat under the comforter felt good. Both of them had a hand under the sheet, gripping me. Rebecca had a smile in her voice, “Mr. Murdock?” “Mrs. Robinson.” “That is some show that Penny and Miss Melanie put on.” Rosie whispered, “Mrs. Chambers let us watch.” Rebecca, “Encouraged us to watch.” Rosie, “Some show.” “Oh?” Rebecca, “I was thinking, we were thinking...” “Yeah?” Not hard to...
The strip poker game got rolling, and it played out much as it had the week before. The card rounds flew by as fast as possible, since everyone was eager to get naked and there was a time limit to be aware of as well. Alan insisted they put some music on. He pointed out that it would make things even more festive. Amy immediately bounced out of her chair. "B-52's!" That was her favorite band, and she played the B-52's albums so much that the others were a little sick of them. But...
He was back in Afghanistan, crouching behind the wreckage of his jeep hearing the moans of the others lying around while bullets were 'pinging' around them, it was only a matter of time before they were picked off by the snipers, his shoulder was also bleeding but he hadn't noticed it at the moment. He thought of something that he had seen in his dreams, it was in a book that told a spell to create what was supposed to be a shield, but it would only protect one person. He needed one that...
Chapter 1 Tuesday 25, June My name is Tony Gates and I own and run a ten bedroom, Georgian period guesthouse in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. I work long hours sometimes and I don't get rich as a result of doing it, but I'm my own boss and I suppose that I'm relatively happy. Most of the bookings are made through the Internet nowadays, so all that I have to do is check my email account for the automated notifications every morning after I've made the breakfasts and then cleared everything...
My name is Jack Lastmale and it seems like I'm the last male in the world. 16 years ago, nobody knows why, but every male vanished from this world. But somehow I'm still here and I want to save the world! I don't think I can get every women pregnant in this world but i want to try it so I'm boarded a caravan to see the world. I came from a little village in the south, my family has a farm there. I lived there with my mother and with my three sisters. I'm the smallest in the family and the only...
FetishIt was a beautiful sunny day and I decided to have my coffee and cigarette outside, as I sat there minding my own business I was looking across the road where the neighbour was having some work done in their house. I saw an older man about 40 plastering a wall and his younger assistant, probably about 20, was helping him.Then the older guy pushed him against the wall and started to kiss him, his hands were somewhere else as the younger man had his arm across his shoulders and his head in the...
