Now I was awake and was not going to be able to go back to bed. I made some coffee, went back to the bedroom to put on some pants and shirt, then went...up into the lounge. When I went out on deck, there was a young man on the dock next to the boat. He asked in broken English, "Are you Mr. Sharp?" Yes, that's me," I said pointing at myself."Mr. Orkos asked that I bring you the English language newspaper. I have also the New York Times for you," he said this all as if he had rehearsed it several. I will be at the Trinity for the next week. If you hear anything, comm me or leave me a message at the Trinity to comm you. I’ll contact you before I leave if I haven’t heard from you.“Those are the only two pressing matters that I needed to talk with you about, Kevin. While I was meeting with Maribel in Timson, I gave her my reports, so you won’t need to pass anything on to her. I was wondering if you had anything for me.”“No, things have been rather quiet lately. Perhaps it has something to. "Hello?" Hi Francesca, it's Dal Larson calling. How are you?" Oh, hi Dal. I'm fine. Thanks for calling. I was wondering if you would." I've been busy with my courses, so I thought I'd wait until I took a break. I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me this weekend." Sure. What do you have in mind?"There's a concert with Adam Timoon in Stanley Park on Sunday afternoon. I can get a couple of tickets and we can listen to the music then go out for an early supper." Uhhm ... I'm sorry, Dal.. Notthat he would want anything else, with his disdain of Earth, only likingits women as slave girls. The loss of his three was annoying,unthinkably so with Emma, but it was not to be avoided under thesecircumstances. He knows Emma will of course stay with him, being his.But he wants her as slave, not as free woman. So he will get her topublicly declare herself slave, as he knows she needs it, belongs in acollar, wants a collar, his collar, forever.But next day he is still captive. Rachel.
