"That's why I came to see you. We've got a bundle of shipments due out today and I guessed it was Dobsons' boys last night. Len and his gang, Eleanor ...nd me are required at the police station to give statements. We're not going to be able to get those shipments out."Ray nodded. "Leave the police to me. I'll try and get them to send someone here to take statements. In the meanwhile, you give your friend Will a ring and see what he can do for us, not just today but from now on." OK."He went back. I lit another smoke and replayed the whole scene in my mind. The entire elapsed time from when I left him in the room with her and when I walked back in couldn't have been more than 5 minutes. I still wonder how long he waited before he pulled her panties down and spread her legs.I headed back up to the room not sure what to do next. My first thought was to get her out of her clothes and make sure he had left no marks. My plan changes as soon as I opened that door and saw her still laying there. But this was a traditional style one with laces." Right," I said, seeing Anne shift uncomfortably, still stood up in hisheels."You know," said Mum to Anne suddenly, "why don't you go and get thedress and things to show Tabby?"The hesitance on Anne's part was palpable. After an uncomfortable coupleof seconds, she gave a slight bow, a "yes my Lady," and traipsed off tothe closet doors, around the other side of my Mother's large double bed.The doors opened outwards, revealing my Mother's clothes,. Since I was only 22, I didn’t have much to say.What had happened?How had I gotten there? At the time, I was a contractor, working on the first automated version of the U.S. Immigration data base. The core was 63 million 3x5 cards. It wasn’t my preferred area, but I prefer eating to not eating. It happened that it was a holiday that the government observed but my company did not, so we went to the company office, where we had no assigned desks, to find some place to work.Now, the obligatory SOL.
