The other girls wanted to hook upwith Jenny and Kyle/Sandy but they were ready to quit for the night,they had two big bags.Back at the house the girls...were busy checking out their goodies,Diane and Donna sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee. "I was sothrilled to see my little girl again." Diane said. "I would love tohave her back again." Why don't you? I'm sure he would be happier, I think you would be." I know I would be." I have to tell you something, Diane. I have been letting him. For the most part, we simply co-existed. I was counting the days down until the end of the year. Really! I had a little tally sheet over my desk. Brad had no idea what it was, but each day I'd cross off on square so I could mark my progress toward getting away from Brad.Then, in the middle of the spring term, Brad's girlfriend dumped him. She dumped him hard. In my mind, I cheered her on, thinking she'd seen what a crass jerk he was and that was why she'd broken up. But Brad was so busted up. The Red had paused a moment to throw the blade, however. It was more than enough time for Bremer to act. The man looked down at the arrow suddenly protruding from his chest as he fell, lifeless, to the ground.Arlade strode into the blacksmith’s shop, a team left outside to guard his back. The expression on his face didn’t change as he noted the two dead Irregulars lying at the outer doorway. Their loss didn’t affect his plans; at least, not yet. “Clear away our dead; just in case.”He carefully. We'll call you and Robert when it happens, but we'll have to speak as if our calls are being recorded.Our security guards were not warned, not even Paul, so they'd be in for a very worrying time. We had no choice about that.[A related safety issue, and quite annoying for the parents, is when we're in a heightened security level like we are now, Paul strongly advises that we travel in small groups, and don't congregate anywhere other than at home. He also prefers that Mom and Dad don't go out.
