The officials wouldn’t deal with a woman. We decided she would act as an interpreter. That meant she would bargain and I would show approval or disa...proval according to her hand signals. An agreement was reached and we would bring down the cargo the next day.Back at the ship we decided there was a lot to salvage from the disabled ship. No cargo but supplies and spare parts. We found several ship’s systems we could pull and use to upgrade our own ship or to sell. We moved the Olakana over next. Katerina was still crying as Pat dragged her upstairs, and tied her to the bed.The meal, of stew for Ma Butcher and her boys and oatmeal for the captives, had been eaten in silence. When it was over, Ma told Helen to clear the table and wash the dishes. As Helen rose to obey, Spike reached out and fondled her naked pudenda."You smell real good, Barbie. Ma give you a shower, did she?" Yes, Spike," Helen replied, mindful of the punishment for not speaking when spoken to. "Ma gave me a shower.". Smiling, she decided to risk a little more. Remembering her early experiment with communications, she sang the words of the old Disney movie theme.“Eigh-Oo, eigh-oo, ees orf ru rurg I go.”Rather than react to her voice, they accepted it, and together they set a faster pace. Still testing the waters, she spun the woman in a slow circle moving forward as she sang.Lisa was surprised the woman not only went along with it, but anticipated her actions, adapting as they continued. Hell, her entire. I won't be too long." Actually, Mike," she interrupted, "I have been driving since early morning, and really could do with a shower if that is okay with you?" Of course it is," he told her, "you will even find some clean towels in there, only put them out an hour ago."He went out, leaving Liz alone. She looked around the room, noticing a table, four dining chairs and a couple of old but comfortable couches. Doors leading off the room to two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. So it.
