As one of the senior partners Lionel was rather held in awe by the secretarial staff. He specialised in inheritance and probate work. Allison had work...d on a few things for him but nothing recently. She’d always found him pleasant and while some of the office thought he was a bit stand-offish she’d quite liked the way he’d always taken the trouble to explain exactly why he was asking her for whatever it was that she had to do and she’d quite enjoyed his cultured manner and self-deprecating. I got us a hotel room in Disneyland itself and we did the rides, the shows, everything. She overloaded on trying to look at everything and do everything.She was also getting hooked on TV. One night she excitedly told me a brand new episode of a show she had started watching was due out. I looked at her with astonishment! I was so glad I had not gotten around to copying my, 'Arch Angel', program for her as I had originally intended to do.I had to smile at her reactions, over all. She was like a. Why do you ask?’ ‘Well… I thought you should know her history. It might save you some… confusion.’ ‘I’d be grateful for anything you can tell me that will help me protect your sister.’ ‘The thing is… I’m not sure she needs protection from anyone that’s real.’ Okay, that sounded bizarre. ‘What exactly does that mean, Jeff?’ For the next five minutes, Jeff told me about Becky’s life over the last three years. The truth of her past shocked and saddened me. She’d spent three months of that time in. I was living behind some pretty thick walls and refusing to let anything with a dick in. Hmmm, maybe someone who worked with bricks for a living could figure out a way to get in and bring me out. He would be the one I would choose to let in. Sometimes I watched him talking to his guys, speaking Spanish, with his beautiful eyes flashing, and I wondered what he would do if I just walked up and asked to be taken. Probably ignore me like he always did. The day of our meeting started like any other.
