"Just had a dream."I turned on the lamp on his dresser. He had his sheet and blanket pulled up to his neck. All I could see was his sweaty face."Would...you like me to get you a wet cloth and something to drink?"Nodding, he said, "Thanks."Going into the bathroom, I got a washcloth out from under the sink, ran cold water over it, and went back to him. He was sitting up, leaned back against the headboard of the oak bed that had belonged to one of our Great-greats. No one in the family could quite. " Hopefully we can finish this up before then." No such luck, I'm afraid. School's closed for the summer, so whoever it is probably won't have access to the computers until it starts back up again." They wouldn't just use a home computer?" Not unless they actively want to get caught. This guy's dumb, but he can't be that dumb." What if it's one of the teachers?" Could be, but our profilers are stuck on the anti-war angle. If the attacks keep coming, we might be able to turn them around, but. You've let yourself and me down and earned this."I gasped as the hairbrush smacked hard onto one bum cheek and then other. This warm-up was twelve swats per check. A new variant was that Judy occasionally gave two or three smacks in succession to one cheek but not necessarily the other. No way to anticipate or adjust to the incoming. My butt was on fire already.Judy pulled down my knickers and then started with the tawse. She applied the belt to my butt with gusto: pain seared through my cheeks. Fat Fred said, "So I take it you are related this ne'er do well." Yes. He's my son," answered Ling."Nice boy. He's got a good character," Fat Fred said nodding his head. Pointing around his domain, he said, "William arranged that it would be okay for us to stay here. It ain't a homeless hotel, but it is good to have a place to sleep at night where you won't be rousted by the cops." Don't put more into it than there is. They wouldn't have gone for it if you weren't here, Fat Fred," replied.
