When the movie finished, we headed home for dinner and the last Guys’ Night and Girls’ Night Out of the year.December 15, 1992, Chicago, Illinois�...�Happy Anniversary!” Alex Saunders exclaimed when he greeted us at his place on Tuesday night.Jessica had managed to safely trade four hours of her shift for four hours on Friday morning, so that we could celebrate on the ‘correct’ day. She wouldn’t be able to join us for the NIKA party this year because we’d agreed she’d trade as few shifts as. I guess I didn't notice the letter. How good are you, Jack?"I get by.

I then noticed various “stations” set up around the room. At one such station there was a huge wooden cross with eye bolts at the ends. Another station was a wall of chain that was woven like a hung net. Another had a box that was horizontal, almost like a coffin. Then, in another was a small rib-hight table that was affixed to the wall. On the table top was a ring and a miniature set of hand-cuffs…. Way too small to go around anyone’s wrist. He took me over there and then told me to give him.
