Youhad a resolve to find answers. You were too proud to ever give up hopethat one day we could fight back. And now, you have her beauty, similarto the...way John Carter first described her."The word's from the book formed in my mind:And the sight which met my eyes was that of a slender, girlish figure,similar in every detail to the earthly women of my past life... Herface was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature wasfinely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her. In the meantime, we've got another day-and-a-half to get everything on board for the next two months." That should take about two hours," Del chuckled. "Relax, Pat. Everything is taken care of." If you say so, then I'm satisfied. You've been a god-send, Del. I feel so much more relaxed with you around."She didn't respond to my compliment, looking away and fussing with some packages that needed stowing. Apparently, my praise made her uncomfortable for some reason."I'm going up to the post. We picked up some pizza on the way to Tammy's house.Tammy and her mother had set the table and poured sodas and cleaned upa bit. Mother helped me carry in the packages we'd purchased and wedumped them in the living room. Dinner was nice and quiet, thoughMother kept bringing up how embarrassed she was about being notified ofmy flipping up Tammy's dress. Tammy didn't seem to mind in the leastand thought it was cute that I was curious about her panties. She toldMother that she would have been. Therefore, we headed north toward the Oklahoma panhandle after we had restocked our pile of wanted posters.We quickly found some wanted men as we moved north, and we were each about $100 richer when we came to the last town in Texas. Now we had to make a choice, we could push on farther north into Oklahoma, or we could turn west into NMT. I had automatically selected NMT, mostly because I had already been there once before, so I felt more comfortable there. However, Jeff suggested that we head.
