In a cold sweat it seemed like an eternity. Was Jim deliberately keeping her waiting or was he having second thoughts? Was it really only that evening...that they had been happily planning to fuck the night away? And probably Saturday morning too! Maybe he did feel something for her and maybe....Pain seared through her sides answering her questions. The metal tubes bored themselves into her. They felt like hot knitting needles and seemed to have buried themselves deep in her flesh. Fear almost. I let my machine answer them, with a 'leave your name and number after the beep' message. One was from the ministry house in London, the other was from the hotel where Courtney worked. I guess they were checking to see if I was really dead. I didn't return their calls, of course, much as it pained me not to.I still had to get the work finishing my shelter for the helicopter. That meant a heating system had to be installed. The temp got down to well below zero during the winter months, and I. But never thought i would get my wish, until one night when i had been moaning to my mum about being too old for a sitter.ME "mom i'm 16 now i dont need a sitter"MOM " It's only for tonight, Your father has a important meeting tommorow, and it gives us time together"I rushed to my bedroom slamming the door, then as i lay on my bed i thought of seeing Chelle and having her spend the night here. If honest i was looking forward to it, but i didnt want my mom to have it all her own way. I lay on. We did not think War Bonnet had caught. We did not know about the others yet.Since we had patented the revolvers, I decided to carry the second Ruger. I sewed twelve cartridge loops onto my belt.I asked Swan and Star to sew up some cartridge bandoleers for the .32, and .38 rifles. They were happy to do that for me and I was happy for them to do it.I stayed at home with my family for two weeks, and then told them that I needed to go and work some more on the factory.They all packed up everything.
