We'll use her as a hostage and make them let us leave," he said as he reached to grab Cynthia, intending to twist her around and pin her arms.Cynthia ...roke his grip with her forearms, grasped his jacket by the shoulders, turned her torso and bent slightly for leverage, hauled his body up over her back and shoulder, and heaved him away. The momentum of her shoulder throw hurled the man toward the armed man. A shot rang out and the armed man went down hard as the body of his comrade slammed him. So we came running.”Purdy lay back and closed his eyes for a time. Jim thought the old man was dozing, but he wasn’t. Purdy grunted. His glittering black eyes popped open and he grabbed Jim’s hand with a fierce grip.“Thanks, neighbor! When I sold you and Vi that dryland ranch, you said that you’d always owe me a favor for the favor I did you two. Now I’m gonna call it in. I’ve got to talk to Pete ... Mike, fer a few minutes. Then I’m gonna ask the kid, Graydon, to take on somethin’ that I. "I had a...strange day," I admitted, flatly, catching my breath and relaxing in the afterglow of fulfillment. CJ set a concerned look on his face and lightly caressed my exposed shoulder and chest as we lay facing each other. "So...you're using me now?" he teased."No," I giggled. "Just had a weird conversation with Kim today. Made me think about you." Kim?" CJ asked. "The lesbian woman at the dealership?" You've only talked to her a few times. How did you know she...." I started to ask. "Oh!. Those other men were just... well... cocks for her to use and enjoy. You are her one true love." Tell me again how much she loves me Bob. She fucked around on me. She was nothing but a whore. That isn't how a wife should show her love for a husband." Ben... After you left she quit everything except the dancing. She did three parties for me out of obligation and that was it. She does love you." Yeah, ok, suppose I believe you and accept that she loves me. If I can't trust her ever again, how am.
