"It's mine! I'm notfinished!"Abigail gaped at the handbag then up at her son, feeling powerless andfrustrated. Normally she could always have just for...ed him to give upthe pebble but there was no chance of that now and she was terrifiedthat if she tried that Sammie would realise how little power she didhave. At the moment he still saw her as his mother and recognised herauthority, even if he was stubbornly ignoring her right now. If he gottoo good an idea how much stronger he was than her now. If you can keep that attitude, then things just might work out for you." He sat back in his chair, a small smile on his face. "I'll have to call my friend and let him know that his chances of recruiting me have just hit an all-time low."I didn't think that was a good idea, and said as much.The smile vanished. Dr. Holzer looked at me with that same piercing gaze. "Really, why?"I told him what I had found out from Michael, the run-in at my store in Texas and even the weird paperwork my biological. There were a couple of others who had also stopped by but I couldn’t see if they were giving themselves the same attention. I passed her drink to her telling her, “You’re being watched by some old bloke.”“I know I saw him about 5 minutes ago,” she laughed as she sipped her drink.I glanced over and obviously my return made no difference for he was still looking at her and stroking his erection. He must have been in his sixties at least, balding head, grey hair covering his chest. Sally didn’t. And if im feeling nice ill book us into some hotels so we can sleep in some luxury. How does that sound?" Dad ask, his eyes beaming with delight"Sounds fun!" I said, trying to sound happy about the idea"Great, although it's 12 hours in the car a day, im sure we'll get through it, now lets eat" He said, digging his fork into his meatloaf."Wake up, sleepy head" My mom's angelic voice rang out. I stirred and checked my clock, it was 8.45. Right on time, as usual.I opened my eyes, and saw mom.
