I decided to get the guys together and wander around our new environs and maybe figure out potential opportunities for locating a new Sheep Pen. I did...’t have to meet with ONI and check in there until the next day, so we had some time to kill.We wandered a bit until Ensign Chandler stopped as if he had been stunned.“Pappy, on your left.”I looked that way wondering what had concerned him so much, but all I saw was this goofy cartoonish sailor guy on a sign that seemed vaguely familiar. It had a. "Should we say grace?" Ms. Palnasus asked when she finally sat down. The entire table had kept quiet until then."Sure," The high priest grinned and lifted his eyes heavenward.

Don't worry about my daughter. She's already been sold to Satan." Daddy!" Wendy complained."Hortense, really!" Ms.. Football was not king in their world. After a few minutes, Courtney’s Mom interrupted the conversation.“Ok now, I’m sure Courtney and Brian have a lot of catching up to do. Leave them be. Now you two run along.” she said, waving her hand towards the front living room.Courtney jumped up, grabbed me by the hand pulling me up. We walked into the formal living area and sat down next to each other. Courtney began asking questions about school as well, although I really think she had other things on. "We could also go to the Cab Bureau, so I can file charges of sexual harassment."That scared him. "Hey, I was just kidding, Lady. I really didn't mean anything, and, if you took it wrong, well, there's no charge for the ride from here on." He turned around, flipped down the meter, and started the cab again. I sat in the back shaking. It wasn't from his crude invitation, but because I knew that I'd almost accepted it.We got to Marya's apartment building without any other delays. The meter.
