"Eww," he moaned, shifting when his sore bottom came into contactwith the stool. "It... It hurts," he said."That's too bad," Becky said. "Now we're go...ng to start with lipstick."From the table she selected a lipstick and pulled off the cover. Then,motioning Tom to hold his head still, she proceeded to apply a deepshade of red to his lips."What do you think?" she asked Karen."Not bad," came her response. "Do you like it Tom?"No dammit! He was a boy! "Yes ma'am," he replied quickly, not daring. The Probate Judge was ready to approve a receivership for Beth on Todd's affairs and for both of us for Brian's. He had two other lawyers lined up to help with the cases to declare Todd and Brian dead. He told us that they were talking about practicing together anyway and this would help our cases move onward and give them a chance to work together. He said there would be no additional charge. He admitted that the cases were interesting from a legal perspective even if the clients weren't two. What happen she asked. I told her some guy was beating her up in a truck, the guy saw me and took off. Really, is she ok, yeah just shook up a little. I guess this guy is her boy friend or something, she calls my Jimmy. Oh, the girl Julie Howard, she used to date my brother, remember. Nela said, yeah with a kind of far away sound in her voice. She was a knock out back then and she is still beautiful. Jimmy walked over to us with his hand out stretched out, he took my hand shaking it. Thanks man. Even if it has been a while since it came from me."I looked at her and opened my mouth before I thought. "You've got to be kidding! A beautiful woman like you is bound to have guys falling all over themselves to get close to her."She asked if I had seen a line outside the door. "Besides, working two jobs would make it hard to go out even if anybody asked. Tomorrow will be the first day I've had off in a month."On a whim, I suggested that we should take advantage of that fact and go out for.
