She sat across from me and folded her hands on the table in front of her. They were thin hands, work roughened and red. This woman worked, was no hoth...use rose. Her face was thin, her cheeks flat plains beneath the most amazing blue eyes, deep and calm like a picture of a mountain lake late in the day as dusk neared. Graying whisps of hair escaped her scarf."Ma'am, I appreciate your kindness, and I'm so sorry to have disturbed you." It's no bother and true be told I'm glad to see a fresh face.. It’s only going to grow larger.”“You can’t think that way about people,” Rose said with a frown.Donny said, “I saw how you reacted to watching those girls the other night. They were fifteen and sixteen years old and being treated like property. Those guys cared about them as much as if they were inflatable dolls. You wanted all of the men dead.”“I know, but I can’t help think that they can still be saved,” Rose said.Donny shook his head. He said, “They might be saved in twenty years. The. Something that had been hidden there stepped in before new Noel could react. That kind of challenge just could not be ignored."And what makes you think you can handle it?"Her eyes flashed."Big words from a young stud. I'll remind you about those, when you are begging for mercy."That was enough to keep 'Noel' out of sight. She wasn't a small girl, but I took hold of her and carried her to the kitchen table. As soon as she was sitting on the table I started kissing her. Her mouth, earlobes, neck. “How did that shit head do it,” Claire growls and I watch her kids retreat upstairs as I smile.“Who do what,” I ask and she looks at me with some anger.“Fucking Weisner, he put 50k in an account in my boys names, the manager just called me to give me my update,” Claire growls and I smile at her till she notices,” What the fuck did you do?”“I did nothing, but he did just pay fifty thousand dollars to your boys ability to go to college,” I tell her still smiling,” I mean it technically was him.
