So I could surely handle visiting dad on my own,too."Of course," I said. "Come with me next week. And the four of us can havea girly night in!"Once th... tea had been drunk and the sandwiches eaten, I took the platesand cups through to the kitchen. The time was still only five o'clock, soI decided to wash them by hand. "Why don't you use the dishwasher?" askedElaine."I'm really just killing time," I replied. "There's still an hour and ahalf before I need to go out." Fair enough," Elaine answered.. “We have the 30 men we captured with Drell, another 45 from this morning and 42 we brought in with the Serratians at the gate. I need your permission to move Drell and the merchants into cells with the others.”Elena closed her eyes and sat back heavily on the wooden chair.“I am a tyrant,” she said softly.Choran tilted his head in inquisition.“It is something my father always said,” she continued. “When the coffers and the dungeons are full, you know you are dealing with a tyrant.”“Then you. I was cold, covered with goose bumps. He then leaned his head towards me and spoke. A husky voice, deep and macho. “I didn’t get your name the last time. Mine is Tony.”“Liliana,” I said in a shaky voice. He offered me his coat; which I gladly took and we talked. He’s face very close to mine. “How was your day, what do you do, How long have you done it, blah blah blah.”I was freakin’ going crazy. I wanted to ask him if he was single or married, but resisted the temptation. I wanted to. " It was Mr. Thompson that spoke and through tear filled eyes I saw Mr. Reece and Miss Collins nod in agreement. That surprised me."We'll see about this later. I'm not going to have my authority questioned by staff and pupils. By tomorrow you'll all be out of work and this lot will find out who is in charge here." With that he head stomped out of the room.Miss Dobson ushered the others out of the room and started to clean the blood from Vicky's bosoms and then put salve on our welts. Afterwards.
