He sat beside his trike in the next building’s parking lot.“How the fuck could I have been so stupid? So you’ve found Claudia, now how are you g...ing to get her out of there? How could I think that they’d simply hand her over to me once they had all the money?” He asked no one.Thanks to Arnie’s affable boasting as a pretend cop, Dan now knew they were using Claudia as bait to take capture him and then kill them both. He had no choice now but to involve the Police.Arnie returned to Chuck and they. I waited. Finally, so faint that I could barely hearher, "Yes." Oh, Margie," I sighed, as I moved my hands down under herbreasts and gently cupped them in my hands and lifted them upand squeezed them gently. She sighed and leaned back againstmy chest, and she acted like it was the first time she hadbeen able to relax in a long time. "I love you," I whisperedas I kissed her neck and licked softly around the edge ofher ear."Oh, Gene, I love you too! Kiss me please. It has been solong!"I slid back. "Maria, do you have a camera?" Jessica asked."What for?" I would love a before and after picture." You would have to take one of each of us then so she doesn't feel singled out," Stephanie advised."No problem...I have plenty of film," Maria said as she slipped from the room.Belinda was still in the bathroom trying to work up the courage to go out. 'How bad can the next four days be?' she thought. 'It's just 96 hours and I'll be back to my old self. I can do this.'Maria was coming back down. It was cold and raw that day and I'm sure that shortened up my backswing. Not a bad thing. I shot a respectable 92, while Al took advantage of the soft greens and shot a very good 77, right on his handicap. We retired to the lounge to have a drink and a sandwich before heading home."I have a favour to ask," Al said as we finished our lunch. "Actually, it's a favour for Marion."He looked a bit sheepish, but I nodded. "What kind of favour?" I was wondering if you wouldn't mind joining us next.
