The hardcore career criminals still remained, though. There were over a thousand of them. They were all moved to one prison, Pelican Bay in California... where they were kept in solitary confinement. They just sat in their cells, not contributing to society. Most of them were either on death row, or had such long sentences that they would surely die in jail.A bill was introduced to execute these immune dregs of society. It passed both the House and Senate by narrow margins. Alice had to decide. " "Well you seem to be in goodspirits today? I'll have Lexi get you another bottle of them when shegets the chance." "Thanx Tess, how much do you they cost?" "Give me$100 and we'll call it even." As I pulled out my wallet I noticed Tesslooking at me funny. "Here's the $100." I extended my hand and she tookthe $100 bill from my hand effortlessly as she continued eyeing up mywaist. Her hand then slid down on to my ass one more time. "What is itTess?" "Something just dosen't seam right here?". Still ... it was fun to fantasize."That's just between you and me though, okay?" Jennifer looked at Vicki."Of course." He never did let me do it to him anyway. I knew he wouldn't, but just the fact that he was thinking about it was kind of fun for me," admitted Jennifer."Honey," said Vicki with a soothing voice, "you know darn well Andrew still loves you as much as he ever did. He's just so damn busy with the studio all the time. Maybe you could just remind him how much he loves you." Remind. An old pre-Reaping map of Oregon sat between them on the small table."You've had plenty of time to second guess yourself, and me on this one," Sam said with a chuckle. "Do you still like the routes we've picked?" Sam asked."Looking at the map, I think I would have made the same choices. We need to know that the bees will be drawn to the honey though, so get someone on station in Wasco. Tell them to find a building that can be used to warehouse whatever we'll need. Station them there right.
