"So our window of opportunity, if you are tied to that location, is 4PM to 1AM," Mel said.
"I would say so," I replied.
"That is sorta good because I don't like cooking breakfast," she said with a smile.
"It's almost time to go do some basic research," I suggested.
"You mean dinner?" Wilson asked.
"Yes I do," I replied. I drove the Honda up and down Jefferson Island before I swung it onto the mainland and into the slightly rundown watch tower section of town. That is where I found the old fish camp. I had eaten there once with EZ and several times with Wilson. I liked there deep fried baby shrimp.
"I do hope you can find something in here to eat, since you only eat vegan," I said.
"That is just your imagination," Mel said. "I eat everything except red meat. I'm not crazy about fried foods but I can manage the boiled shrimp quite well." She paused a moment then said. "The volume here is good for a Monday night."
"Yes it is," I agreed. "From the way they are dressed, I would suggest there is a cross section of clients. Fishermen to lawyers most likely. As a matter of fact there are a couple of Jewish people who run the pawn shop in town. I also see a real estate agent who tried to sell me a piece of land over there."
"I don't think this area could stand another fish camp style restaurant," she said.
"I know. I just wanted you to see what is available here now," I said.
After dinner we went to sit on the pier on Jefferson Island. We drank a cup of coffee and just looked at the ocean for a while. We did some talking, but mostly it was look out at the waves.
"Tell me something Wilson, can I feed an image into the laser engraver and then get a reasonable sized image engraved on metal out of it?" I asked.
"Up to 11x17 with the one I bought you. Why do you ask," he replied.
"I want to make an image get me a good quality camera. I don't want a fancy professional one with lots of bullshit. I just want a really good, easy to use one," I demanded.
"It will take a few days to get one here. I would say by the weekend," Wilson replied. "We have a lot of specialized camera's already."
"That's not what I want. I want one that is easy to use, not one the I can make a picture of a license plate a hundred yards away. One I have to take ten minute to set up just for that," I replied.
"Okay, I can find you something and have it here pretty quick," he said.
I walked to the end of the pier before I made the call to his private number. "Hey can you do me a favor. Next person you have making the trip down from Church Camp, have him bring Dog to the swamp. I want to make a picture of him in the swamp for Liam," I said almost in tears.
"You got it. I'll call you. How are you and Melody getting on?" he asked.
"Sometimes I think she might have a wire loose somewhere, but she seems to be good hearted," I said.
"Yeah I know," he said. "Whatever she needs get it for her and send me the bill."
"Don't worry we will work something out," I said.
The camera arrived on Thursday. Dog arrived on Friday according to the call from Martin, and I had two full days of training on the camera by Saturday.
Saturday morning I flew into the swamp compound. After that trip I had full access to the compound at anytime according to Martin. Dog met the plane with his handler. A young guy just in his twenties. A career dog trainer with the US Army. He was short a leg which I only noticed because he didn't bother to hide his prosthetic blade inside a boot. He had been a dog handler till the Taliban shot his dog and then shot him as well, with a very large caliber rifle stolen from a dead US ranger sniper. I heard the story from the New Sergeant major. The Sergeant major had been told of the pecking order. Even though I had no rank and no special training, he pretty much minded his manners.
I spent over an hour playing with Dog, before I took my new camera and went into the swamp to make his picture. Dog wasn't a water dog, but he chased that damn ball no matter where it went. I made several pictures with the swamp in the background and Dog standing knee deep in water. None of them seemed just right. Finally Dog stood on a huge fallen log, he was soaking wet and his fur matted, he heard something and perked his ears up. The background was open black water for as far as the shot went. The foreground had a bush in the right corner. I knew I would never get a better picture for my purpose.
I had lunch with the men at the compound, then I flew the canary home. I got home in time to download some free editing software. I did that before I examined the imagines from my day at the swamp. I didn't try to work on them I just examined and evaluated them.
I was surprised and shocked to find the one on the log was the most regal of the shots but not the best for my purpose. That one was a shot I set up as well I made it through the foliage. There was almost a tunnel with Dog's wet stinky body against brown tree trunks. He was isolated from the foreground and background since he was on a bit of a cleared space. He also looked like a wet dog lost in the swamp or just a dog worn completely out but still with it. I wasn't quite sure which.
As I knew they would, things got boring. I returned Letter to patrol as a sergeant. Mrs West turned up nothing on him. It took two weeks after we shut down the drug gang, before I got the call from Miami. "Well you said you would close us down in Warren County and you pretty much have." the voice said. "Well, we are a small county and I may have got the Heroine business, but I haven't touched the other. However I am still looking for them. If you want to be a friend someday, move your...
I fell into bed and asleep. The next morning I called Mrs. West before I showered even. "What's the word from the hospital?" I asked. "Two kids dead, but all the others will be fine in a few days," she said. "Lots of broken bones but none too serious, mostly emotional trauma." "Anything on the woman we arrested last night?" I asked. "How do they say it on TV. She has lawyered up, thanks to the public defender," Mrs West said. "That should really help her out," I said. "Are...
So I talked to the bitch from ABC new's affiliate in Capitol City. I gave her the official story with a few extra statements, like how I felt while it was happening thrown in. Then she asked, "Can you get me an interview with the two men who came from Swamp Dog?" "Not in a million years. You feel free to call them, I expect you can find the phone number." I replied. I got back to the office at 5PM. According to my arrangement with the patrol commander, I rode with one of his officers...
I decided to wait until I was less emotional before deciding what to do about Osborn. So the next morning I was at the sports field at 6 AM. I ran my hour and did about seven miles. I had stopped counting the laps and just ran an hour. I hated to fucking run. I always had hated it. It was seven thirty when I pulled into the gym and hit the bag for an hour. Since it was Sunday, I didn't have a real plan for the day. Reggie didn't say a word, he seemed to have something on his mind. He sat...
I awoke the next Morning with the smell of her all over me. I hated the thoughts of a shower, so even though I knew better I took Dog and went for a ride on my trike. He and I did about an hour on the thing. It was so hard to pedal up hills that it was as strenuous as running. Well it did give me a chance to rest during the downhill run. Dog couldn't but he had learned to run along beside and not to pull me. If he kept that up, we could do two hours, I thought. We stopped at Hardee's and I...
I went right from my office to the pub. I got there in time for a cup of coffee, and some down time before I had dinner. Dinner was also going to be from the pub. Nita agreed to cook me a grilled cheese sandwich. I have no idea why it wasn't on the menu, since she made the best one in the state. They started to drift in about eight. "Brit put all their drinks on my tab but make absolutely sure none of them drives home tonight." "Me and Jeremy will take them home. The SUV will hold seven...
"Damn that pisses me off," I said while he was still standing there attentive. "What that he is so smug," Eddie asked. "No that he thought I was a man," I replied. Eddie broke out laughing. "Well now that you mention it Sheriff," he said. "Careful I can't fire him, but I can you," I said. "You don't have a union." We were in a good mood while Wilson directed the search so that the people stayed out of his way. The lab had first priority while looking for evidence of a...
Osborn and I left the gym at 9pm. We both were absolutely exhausted. She followed me to the pub for dinner. Juanita had made a giant taco salad from which she dished a bowl of stuff for each of us. I had a dark beer and the salad, while Osborn had a bowl of the salad and a diet coke. "What's up with the diet coke?" I asked. "I'd like to have a body a little more like yours, than like mine," she said. "You have to be kidding. Didn't you see how those guys looked at you. They looked...
I placed a call back to the station. They had everything under control. Mostly they were processing evidence from all over the damn county. It was a big job, but they seemed to be on top of it. "Sheriff, we are going to need to process some of this, and pass it on to the SBI. The bust is going to be out of our jurisdiction. Should I make the call, or do you want to?" Eddie asked. "Let me look at the evidence before you send it off, then we can decide what goes where together. Now I got a...
Kara began talking, but I didn't believe a word she said. "Yeah I recognized the guy the girl in the picture left with, but believe me she didn't look like that. She looked like a hooker." "How did you recognize the guy," Eddie asked her. "We was one of my customers for a while, but he got tired of me and moved on." she said. "So what was his name," Eddie asked. "Man, I don't know," she said. I sat in the corner of the interview room. It was a big room. The lights were off...
I drove toward my home in County Seat thinking, I might have to go back to the SBI lab after all. It meant giving control of our cases to their investigators and taking a back seat to their people. I hated losing control of the cases. Damn it, if I could only get the Colonel interested in the Forensic services. He could surely come up with the facilities. Even if it meant a friendly take over of an existing private lab. I was still in the car when the phone rang. "Sheriff Porter this is...
It took two days to get Jamison back to County Seat. During that time I rode along with the swing and the midnight shift deputies. It was a bit of a learning experience. I would rather have been an undercover boss, but they knew me quite well by then. We had been through most of our first year together. I had ridden with both deputies several times. In doing so they talked to me like a cop not a boss. We told stories about our days working the roads in Warren County. We answered calls and...
It took me all day to move past my anger at the FBI. I beat the crap out of the heavy bag before I really felt better. It was two weeks later and I was already running, when Osborn showed up at the softball field. She sat on the bleachers until I was in sight, then started to run. "You didn't tell me you were coming to run," she informed me. "I didn't know I was going to run till I pulled into the parking lot. I think I'm running on autopilot in more way than the obvious one. Damn...
"Mrs. Novak, I have some very bad news for you. We found Tommy. It appears now that he had an accident in the woods. I'm so sorry but Tommy died in the woods. I don't know if this is any comfort at all, but I'm very sorry for you loss." She broke into wails of high pitched screams. It was a terrifying sound. I finally took hold her to try to calm her down. I let her cry it out. I knew I should let her grieve before I questioned her, but she would have to be one less vote I received next...
I gave some serious thought to pulling Randy Ralph over, jerking him out of the truck and beating the crap out of him. We were finding all kinds of crap he did wrong but I still couldn't pin the rapes on him. Instead I went back to the Railroad B&B for Wilson. "So what the fuck would he pick up at the docks and deliver to a taco truck?" I asked Wilson. "Maybe they are distributing drugs," was his answers. "If it was drugs they would never throw them over a fence and hope their...
"So Detective Thorn, you like your job?" I asked. "I sure do Sheriff," he said looking all serious and shit. "Well you need to be better at it. See I took a quick look at the crime stats." I said. "Yeah, most crime is down all over the board," he said all proud of himself. "Yeah and statewide most crime is up in almost every category. You know why crime goes down in one area like that?" I asked. "Because we are doing a better job, than those other places," he said. "I...
I called dispatch and told them to have the officer backup for Simpson to swing by the courthouse to pick me up. It took about twenty minutes for the chubby little blond twenty five or so year old to show up in my office. She was cute in the thirty pound overweight way. "Hi there, I'm Deputy Melissa Osborn. Dispatch said to report to you," she said. "Yes you and I are going on a little road trip," I said. "I'm going to Dobson and I need a ride. So you get to be my driver." "Of...
I woke up Sunday morning in the middle of the night to the sound of my phone. I searched through the pile of my clothes till I found it. "This better be good Simpson," I said. "Actually it's bad. There was a high school basketball game last night at the northern high school gym. There was an accident outside the gym as the crowd left." Simpson said. "How bad," I asked. "Car ran into the crowd. Six kids are in the hospital, one is in critical condition," he suggested. "I'll get...
I went home and went to sleep, but only after I punched the bag for half and hour. I felt guilty and planned to run the first thing the next morning, since I missed my run that night. When the sun came up I was at the softball field. I checked for cars. I almost didn't stop when I saw the Grey Honda. The woman inside saw me drive into the lot and got out to wait for me. Since she had gone to all the trouble of walking up in the middle of the night, I figured I owed it to her to run along...
"When I told my wife we why we hadn't Identified the girl. She asked, if I had found her wallet. No girl would be caught dead going out at night without at least a clutch bag. According to my wife. So I got to thinking, if she was killed here, then her bag might be somewhere around here. If so where was it? I checked all the other buildings and there it was. Well it was near some disturbed dust in this little building, but under an old desk. It was late at night and dark as the Sheriff's...
"You better start at the very beginning, so we can help you out of this mess," I suggested. "The first of this school year one of the cheerleaders said, 'The only way to be popular with he boys was to you know do things.'" Ellie said. "What things," I asked. "To sorta have sex with them," she said. "Not real sex, none of us wanted to be pregnant not even the guys wanted that to happen. So we did other things." "Like what kind of things," I asked. There might have been some...
The sound in the hallway surprised even me. Tommy Kilborn pointed the pistol at me and waited. His attention on the door. When the doorway filled with something out of a video game, I had the derringer in my hand. Kilborn jerked a little when the .22mag hit him, then his face exploded when the .45 caliber hollow point struck him. I sat down hard, ad Liam removed his helmet. "Andrew is out in the parking lot making nice with the local cops. Lucky one of your deputies knew I was on the way...
I went home and put all dog's toys in a box. I had spent a lot of money between the vet and improvements to my place for Dog, but you know I didn't feel bad or let down about it. I had save him and he was worth saving. Like me Dog just got re purposed. We was going to another place. They might ask him to risk his life, but he would be doing something worthwhile. I knew exactly how that felt and I had never been more alive then when I had it all hanging out there. So I missed Dog, but I...
It was close to midnight when I got back to the motel. Osborn still wasn't in. I had a message, but I hadn't seen her for any amount of time since we arrived in town. I decided that I would phone her and request her presence. I need her to do some background checks on the major players in our move. I didn't want to call in Swamp Dog, when she could do it just as well. Okay not just as well, but well enough. I called her cell. As usual there was no answer. I went to bed, even though I was...
Dave had come in just at dark. He was tired, but was in one of the best moods anybody could remember seeing him in. He was almost in the same mood as he was when the babies were born, except that this time there were no tears of joy. He was almost as giddy as if he had taken something. He had contained himself long enough to be introduced to the Mayfield's and the Elledge's. He had hugged and kissed each of them, and expressed his VERY genuine pleasure from finally meeting them. Bruce had...
The flight home was delayed for several hours because of inclement weather over the Midwest. It left Phil and Hailey to sit in the departure lounge at LAX. He passed over the financials for Lambswool to see if Hailey could find a way to trim expenses that he’d missed. She couldn’t. It was almost midnight on the West Coast when the plane finally departed for Calder City. “I still think you should have sprung for a private plane,” Hailey said as she nestled on his shoulder. “Huh?” Phil...
“What the fuck?!” That exclamation came from Sherri. It got Emma and Amelia’s attention. Liz was busy sliding a another dollar bill into a speedo and didn’t bother to look. Sherri had turned to see what was going on with the waitress and noticed my cum splattered shirt. “What happened to you?” she asked. Jess answered for me. “Nice waitress, Britney, happened to him. And she got him way ahead of the rest of us on the contest.” “So I see...” Sherri said. “And that is what I think it is?”...
The job went off without a hitch, both shows, Best of all I was fully engaged. I watched over the inside of the dressing room, and I walked Soda to the stage. When the show ended, I watched group change, then put them safely on the bus. "Well Tom it't over and I will be moving on tomorrow. So would you like to come to the suite again?" I asked. "Sylvia, I have a lot of respect for you. Most of the women I know would still be in bed whining about how sick they are. The stories I have...
~~Natasha~~ They went back to her apartment. With the hunters defeated, and the few remaining still in the Prince’s custody, there wasn’t any reason she couldn’t sleep in her apartment anymore. Maybe Samantha would get her own place too? Daniel slept in the Elysium Tower, somewhere secret, but that didn’t mean Samantha had to as well. She sat on the couch between her boyfriends, and looked between them as they obviously prepared a tale. “It was ten years ago,” Art said, smiling down at...
January 7, 2018 Dear Ms. Diary, I woke as someone next to me moved. As I laid there, I remembered last night. Crazy! Our new gang members are into our lifestyle! And why wouldn’t they be. Sex is wonderful with those you love. Yes, it’s girl-on-girl sex, but we see nothing wrong with that. It’s certainly safer than some of the alternatives and way more enjoyable than masturbation. Once again, however, I wondered about our interest in and enjoyment of so many partners. I thought long and...
I had planned on sleeping in and go to the college at noon but I had been getting emails from Patti all day yesterday. I was showered, dressed and in the kitchen at 5:30 setting up breakfast this morning for the brood. Toast, topped with the apple or grape jelly, fruit, several kinds of cereal, orange juice, coffee, hot chocolate or milk was the menu for today. Jeanna came down to have breakfast with us. The G5 was going to carry her to a meeting in Nebraska and then stop at the banks...
Dear Louisa, I'm upset that I made Brianna cry. I'm not sure why I shared things with her that I would not have shared with anyone else. Maybe it was missing Master Will. Then again maybe it is because I hoped that sharing them would start to help me to overcome the areas of drag in my life. All I'm certain of for now is that I no longer want to walk in fear where fear has no reign. Here on Atlantis-at that is true, that is that no one would dare molest me. Even my Master or Mistress...
Barging into the room, were Stu, Princess and Jennifer, seeing us dressed with me on my phone in the wheelchair, packed and ready to go. Peter sent me a text. I let Honey ‘man’ my wheelchair as the ladies all giggled at the look on her face. Stuart understood what had happened and I saw him shaking his head in deference to me. My lap held my, Honora’s, and Jennifer’s bags as we all got to the bus together. Stu handed me a piece of paper, which I put in my shirt pocket because Peter had come...
Jeff, Diana, Dave and Evie sat in the living room, waiting. When the phone rang, Diana checked the caller ID and answered. "Glad you guys are back." "Diana, I..." The voice chopped off, then Carla cleared her throat and tried again. "Diana, our dreams..." Carla's voice stopped again, to be replaced by quiet sobs of joy. "I can't..." "You just did," Diana said softly. "You're on speaker, so all of us can hear you. Jeff, Dave and Evie are here with me and listening. And, you're...
Veronica was sitting dutifully in the office when Adam entered with his entourage. She smiled at him, which surprised him slightly. He figured she would be pissed off that his irritation with the others had filtered down to her. "I have never seen so many people move that fast," Veronica said with a laugh. "Allie and Karlie lit out of here like their asses were on fire." "I offered but they said they had class later," Adam replied. The girls laughed and then explained the joke to...
Immediately she had second thoughts. She recalled the sick jealousy she had felt only weeks ago at the mere thought of Sholandra naked in Rhonda's arms, or of Rhonda's tongue in Sholandra's sweet pussy, or of Rhonda sucking those incredible big soft black nipples. How could I ever give her up? Laura thought in a sharp fit of anguish. How could I have suggested it? Even though it was nearly midnight, Trina was still awake. Laura had promised she would call. "Must be some project," Trina...
It was just getting light when Josh and Mike left Warsaw. The crowd, if anything, was bigger than the night before, lining the streets for a couple of blocks. Unfortunately, the fire department hadn't laid out a wide enough path for a racing start that had never quite been anticipated, and only Mike knew the way out of town, so it was a fairly quiet start. The dogs had come back a long way from their run the night before, and Mike felt better for having four hours of good sleep. He still...
The second day, although we weren’t really following any diurnal pattern, began as the first, although our allies were conspicuous in their presence as they watched patiently from the start of the ramp. Maurice and Chinc’lithss had their people working on the toxin and had come up with a formula that gave some immunity to its effects, though was not able to help those already with it too far into their systems. Still, it would allow a victim to stop the spread and get to the medic Mages...
Say thanks to a great supporter of J & G for these. Trump Jokes In a recent survey, 70% of Americans responded that Donald Trump becoming president has made them nervous. The other 30% said it will make them Canadians. Donald Trump has announced that now he’s president, he’s going to put a wig on the Presidential plane and call it Hair Force One. Donald Trump becoming President isn’t the first time he’s kicked a black family out of their home. I just found out Donald Trump ran...
Flashback – Masha and Louise – Home Again We returned to the furniture store, finished shopping for furniture for Louise’s room and of course bought a few things for Linda while we were at it. We made it back to the house and I was shocked when we arrived. Television news vans lined the streets. Louise stated the obvious, “Auntie Masha, it looks like the television stations have finally figured out your home address.” I complained, “This is the last thing I want to deal with today!” Then...
After filling my mug, Connie handed me the note that Ben and Frank were in the building and that Art was on his way and would be here in ten minutes. While I was at her desk I picked up the handful of messages that had accumulated in the last two hours. One was a note from VP Harrison - he needed guidance on a trip he was making tomorrow when I had time. That would be an interesting conversation for sure. I carried the rest and the mug back to the meeting room. The Admiral, the Secretary...
“I’m not playing music to stay alive. I am alive. And I’m playing music for the pleasure of sharing the excitement with other musicians and other human beings.” —Maude Julien, The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” Beca asked when she opened the door. I’d tried to catch her before she and Rachel left school but I had to go to the music room and get my practice guitar to take with me to Kentucky and Mr. LeBlanc wanted to discuss a rehearsal schedule for Cindy’s...
Ben and his crew had already headed across the back pasture by the time Liz wrapped up her calls. I had taken the opportunity to slip out of my sling and T-shirt to let the sun warm a section of skin that hadn’t seen sunlight since the first day of June. I sat down in the warm water (and hoped it hadn’t increased in temperature because Spenser or Stone had peed in it) and let the water wash over me. I even slipped over to let the waterfall cascade down on me. I was alone so I was able to...
Thorn was the first to go. As I promised I wrote him a good recommendation for a job with the highway patrol. The state really seemed to be swimming in the Warren County labor pool. I really didn't mind Thorn leaving, even if it was on short notice. He left only two weeks after I took office. It just meant I had to find a detective willing to come to Warren County to live and work. Either that or I had to find someone worth a damn on the Department at that moment. "Good morning Chief...
Here is the deal Seth. I found a 9 mm in your room at your dad's house. We also found one at your girlfriends house. It really isn't much of a gun. Of course it don't take much of a gun at close range. Now we got a shell casing from the scene and also the slug in Burt. We can't do a ballistic check on the slug here. That went to the state crime lab last night. But what we can do is an extractor mark comparison. It is almost as good as the expert's testimony. So we are going to do one of...
I talked to a bunch of people who came into Hardee's, while I drank from the endless coffee cup. As far as I was concerned I had closed the Wilbur Owens case. He had committed suicide and I didn't give a damn what the medical examiner's opinion was. After all was a fucking butcher. I laughed at that last. It was almost lunch time but I wasn't hungry. I think the thought of Liam as an old man scared the hell out of me. When he was an old man, me being an old woman wasn't far behind. I...
"Now that you are a big boss how you liking it," I asked her when she came on the line. "I don't. Especially when one of my agents fucks up as bad as Morris. There is something personal going on with her. She can hate you as much as she pleases Sylvia, what she can not do is try to bully you. I would never allow that with anyone, especially with someone who can not be bullied. If she want's to play whose is bigger, there is no place for her in the SBI administration. She can be a field...
I waited until they went through the cheerleader's computer and Jamison's as well. Nothing told us who Lucy was with that night. Nothing told us who anyone was with for the last week. Jamison only updated the files weekly. So the prick still had something to deal. That must have been his thinking. He had planned that it would be about the kiddie prostitution and maybe porn, but he never planned on murder. Accessory after the fact of murder was going to be quite an incentive to talk his...
Most homicides are solved in the first 48hours. I think that must be in big city police departments. Just the lag time between homicide detectives and outside agencies make that impossible for rural agencies. Add to that the lack of qualified career law enforcement officers and you have an idea why rural homicides take longer or never get solved. That also explains why the SBI inserts itself wherever possible. The latter was attempting to happen, when I awoke the next morning. The excuse...
"What you are going to have to find is a dog sitter. Someone who is at the same place all the time and would take Dog for a few hours while you pretend to be the Sheriff," Simpson said. "Mrs West," I suggested. "I can't see her walking Dog when he has to go out. She is a bit frail I think. Once he get past this depression, if a cat crosses his path he will pull most anyone down." Simpson said. We were standing in the shade of the gun shop while Dog lay quietly panting. "I don't...
"It was two agonizingly slow weeks before the call came. "Sheriff Porter I believe the farm belonging to Joseph Black is going to be used for an illegal gathering of terrorists tomorrow?" the heavily distorted voice advised me. "Who is this?" I asked even though I knew. "If you have your deputies there at 12Noon you might be able to stop them." the voice went on. "How many are there," I asked. "Probably two dozen," the voice said. "You just need to be there." Be there or be...
It took them two days to come back with a counter offer. Admit that the arrest was a mistake and throw Morris to the Wolves. A trusted agent with a long time vendetta. The press tip off was solely so that there would be coverage of the false arrest and damage to the Sheriff's reputation. The SBI agent at the center of the controversy has been fired. "That's all they will give us. That and fifteen million dollars," Rita said. "It's more money than we would ever get from a jury. Let's...
Back in the motel we took turns in the shower. I wore a pair of jeans and a while tee shirt with a OD fatigue jacker over it. Only because it was available. It was also fun to poke a little fun at myself. It was laughable because it still had the sheriff name tape sewn over the pocket. Osborn wore tight jeans and tight too tee shirt belonging to me. She obviously wore a push up bra because she had more breasts than usual even. She fixed her hair in a girl next door look. She somehow managed...
That isn't quite true, I got out of the police station without even calling Rita. It was about 3AM when they sprung me. From the police station I drove to the motel. I slept until 10AM. I did not want to leave without getting the results of my talk with Tony. His mom somehow forgot to call me, so I staying in the city until noon. I didn't want to go back to the school, so I just went sightseeing. I hadn't seen the capitol building, since I went on a school field trip in the fifth grade....
Sunday morning passed in a bit of a fog due to the hangover. I remembered bits and pieces. I began to wonder, since I had the memories as if they were someone else's. If Maybe I had been drugged. If I had been drugged could Wilson be part of it. I doubted it since, why would he do it he knew almost no one in New Wales. Not to mention, I would expect the culprit to participate in it. Drugged or not, Brian was gonna remember me. If I were eighteen, as the drug wore off I would have been...
I sat sunning myself on the deck, which was right above Wilson's bed. I considered playing the radio with hard rock full blast. I hated that if left to his own devices, he could sleep till noon. I would be willing to bet that for the almost two weeks I was gone, he slept till noon every day. I didn't have a radio that I could play on the deck, so I couldn't rag on him. I made a mental note to buy one. I hated to miss an opportunity to rag on Wilson. I ate my biscuit and drank my coffee,...
"I'm not looking for a job. I have an idea I want to pitch to you. We can both benefit from it. I really would prefer to pitch it over dinner." He said it smiling his boyish smile of course.
