Mom will be so happy." We'll get Steve to write up the legal stuff along with your new salary and bonuses and perks," said Kelly. "Might as well get a...l that legal paperwork done at once, right, Todd?" Right," he said. "But we'll celebrate properly at the picnic. How about seeing if you can get us that band?" Yes, it would be nice to have them play, wouldn't it?" Kelly said, remembering the night at the restaurant with a fond smile.Todd got up. "Now I'm afraid I have to get to work," he said. "Wouldn't that be nice, but no. Your pick up is just an animal carcass; we store them at the Boiler house. Out of the gate, first right." It's OK I saw it on the way by, see you" interrupted Joe.The guard was left mouthing the instructions into the empty space where Joe had recently stood. The guard closed his mouth, and made a mental note to make that bastards next visit one to remember.There was a satisfying thud as the large black bag fell off Joe's shoulder into the back of the van, shit. Carla involuntarily took in a sharp breath. She had been to the room many times, but seeing it never ceased to elicit a little reaction of surprise and excitement. It seemed to her that each time she first entered the room; she saw something hanging on the wall, or noticed something about one of the pieces of equipment that she had never noticed before. The room was as large as the upstairs dining room, which was large enough to graciously seat eighteen for formal dinner. The light glittered. There were out of town seminars to attend business trips to see clients, trade shows to work and the like. Sometimes we would go weeks without seeing each other. A lot of marriages couldn’t have survived under those conditions, but it seemed to work for us. We were so happy to see each other when we did manage it that we never got around to arguing or having those little domestic spats that other marriages had. The only dark cloud, at least from my perspective, was that Bev was a very sexual.
