"On reflection I suppose Ffion Probert came at a very high price, but I was now back on the track to becoming promoted to sergeant, and as long as I k...pt my nose clean, and more especially my todger out of women married to squaddies, I should be OK."So how is it now, between you and Miriam ... any chance of a reconciliation?"I finished my pint. " Possibly – probably – given time; we're back and forth like the tide at Southend. It has been over six months since we last spoke to each other, so I. And if you don't believe me come in here and see what I did to Corporal James."He said all of this with a cool calm voice, which did more to scare the Project X team more than if he screamed it. "Oh and can someone get me a cup of coffee? Thank you."With that he retreated back into the security room, and took his seat at the desk, with the bloody body of Corporal James right behind him. Suddenly he heard a gasp and the sound of a mug breaking. Looking up he saw a female soldier staring at. Despite my best efforts to remain stationary Ifound myself jerking away. Again the whip landed on my left thigh, only this time it barely made contact, striking the front of my left thigh andleaving just a small red circular mark."DAMN YOU CHRISSIE!!!" he bellowed "I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE!!"Again I said I was sorry. He walked to me and placed his hand under my chin, pushing up. "I told you not to move! NOW STAND PERFECTLY STILL BITCH!!!" he shouted.Once again he drew back the whip, but this. We've all heard and seen too many things not to believe a story just because it seems strange. And if you ask us, the story goes no farther than this table." Promise?" Billy said."On my honor as a tabloid reporter," Tom said."Mine too," Mike added."Most blokes would say 'honor' and 'tabloid reporter' are mutually exclusive," Billy said. "But I know you two." He sat down and finished his pint, then motioned for the barmaid to come over. They all ordered another pint, making small talk.
