The lawyers obligingly drew up the paperwork for free, and everyone was happy. Even the silverware and heirlooms that had disappeared immediately afte... the Count’s death were returned to her, and if any of the family had issues with the way things are now, an overnight visit to Great-Grandmamma’s castle always helped them see reason.Helen realized she’d let her mind drift and hadn’t been paying attention to what was going on through the binoculars. Troy and the priest were now looking straight. " No Daddy. Well, I just have underwear on, not shorts. Wanna see?" No, I don't want to see. Although I suppose anyone who sees you bend over to pick up anything will see perfectly well." Maybe they'll see more than that, Dad!" she said defiantly. "You never know! And like I said, this is nothing, anyway! And, it's up to me what I show and who I show it to!"Ashlyn now stood facing her father, looking up into his eyes, trying to seem as formidable as she possibly could given her petite. "Johnny, you know when they bought you in last night, Tom's wife took this off him and asked me to dispose of it before the police came"She showed me a bag of white powder which I presumed was coke or heroin,My pen moved again, "Why have you still got it mum?"She bent down and picked up a rubbish bin from beside the bed, tearing open the bag, she tipped the powder into the bin,"I just wanted to let you see me doing it Johnny, it was important"A tear appeared in her eyes as she read what I'd. "Aren't you even going to say hello to me?" Jack! Are you feeling better?" Much better, thank you. Where do you think you're going?" I have to use the bathroom." Are you coming back?" If you want." Hurry back."She came in the room a few minutes later. Her face had been scrubbed and her hair had that shine it gets from brushing the hell out of it. She had a big grin on her face.The grin faded a bit when I got out of bed and made my own trip to the bathroom. I emptied my bladder, brushed my teeth.
