It was obvious that they didn't care if David or she saw their faces now. That sent a chill of dread through Amanda. They untied their hands and pushe... both into a single cell. Inside the small cell there was a cot and a lone standing toilet. On the cot was one blanket. Then there was a large wooden bucket with a dipper that appeared to be for drinking water and one lone chair.

I mean we knew you weren't like most of theguys here. You were kind, friendly without being creepy, and justseemed to be interested in all the things we were interested in. Iguess we should have seen it. I mean we knew you weren't gay. Yourdates with our friends told us that, but we didn't imagine that you sawyourself as feminine. Honestly, looking at you, your assessment isright..
