He is. He told me that he was separated and... It doesn’t matter what he told me. He lied. He was using me and we broke up two weeks ago. He intende... to be at the party with his wife. That’s why I don’t want to be there. I might make a scene and tell her what a bastard he is.”“I’m sorry, Belinda.”“Sorry for what, Alan? Sorry that you’re probably the only one in the whole office who didn’t know that Henry was fucking me and cheating on his wife?”“No. It’s not surprising that I didn’t know. We. Hank and Caleb soon became good friends, and they quickly established a very cordial working relationship. This was good, because only the minimum time passed before Caleb received new orders from Judge Hughes.The judge wanted Caleb to look into problems reported in Henderson County. There were reports that some ex-Union Army soldiers were trying to take over and set up their own little kingdom in the county. This was not illegal, except that the interlopers were ignoring lawful orders sent to. Between the four of us we have ten million dollars which should cover everything from the land, to the construction, to the operations for the initial Las Cruces to Santa Fe route that Pablo talked about.

" Ewheee!!!" Clarity let out a screech of exhilaration. "Yes!" She said leaning over and kissing my cheek. "I'm going to be so good for you. I'm going to do it sooo good. Just wait! Just wait!"Then she became quiet and tentatively she asked, "But, are you sure you're alright now? The operation fixed everything right? Doing it won't hurt you will it?" No, it won't hurt me." I assured her turning to look at her.She smiled sweetly then and said, "Good, as long as it doesn't hurt you, I don't care.
