"I'm going into town for an hour. Davinia here will give you anything you need."The door closed. Eddie ran to the window and watched Jane's car head...down the drive. He headed back over to me. "Davinia," he said, softly, "I've missed you so much!" With that his lips moved down to mine, and I melted into his arms. I tried for a moment to resist, but when his hands reached for my breasts fireworks began to go off in my head and I couldn't think straight. When he told me to strip I did so. His dark skin bespoke of his African heritage, he onlything of any color was his teeth and eyes."And who wants to ask the questions? You?" He knew that we wereconditioned to never reveal our secrets, so even if he tortured us, hewould get nothing for his efforts.Shaking his head, he let out an evil chuckle, "No Bludd, not me. It'sthe President that wants to ask." You mean as in the Leader of the Free World?" asked Jesse, my AssistantResearch Chief. She as second only to me in the Sciences."Yes,. .."Mrs Harris, Amelia's shoulders drop a little, Mistress Thorne is, asevery, very persuasive, I want to speak but... "Miss, please can you tellme what happened? W.. why did Maddy, I mean your husband join thecompany?"She looks up, first to me, and then up to Mistress Thorne. "I.. I don'thave to tell you that.. surely you know?"I shake my head. "No Miss... I don't. All I know is a few things y.. yourhusband let slip... an.. and that he.. she misses you very much..."She sniffs, then blurts out,. After finishing my chore and as I was about to enter my house to start preparing dinner, he stated that he had never been into the gallery. I informed him that he was welcome to take a look.After a cursory glance around the walls, I offered him a beer, which he gladly accepted. As we sat across from one another in the lounge indulging in general chitchat, he seemed to become rather edgy. Toby then told me that he would be leaving in a few days and amazed me by asking if I would lend him fifty.
