..I saw two faces that I recognised - Rebecca & Amanda had been acquired from Constanza (I suspected mainly with the aim of giving Freddie some insigh...s in Constanza's operations and possibly getting some intelligence about the business with Tricia) and had been pressed into waitressing duties. At least some of their flight attendant skills were still being put to use. Close up I wasn't too impressed with the surgery that Constanza had put them through. Sure the surgeon had got the slanted eyes. ‘Don’t ask!’ Marla came out of the bedroom and tossed the brush to Mandy. ‘Since you asked, you get to use it next.’ Her wet blonde hair was brushed back neatly. Maggie came padding into the kitchen on bare feet and took a deep sniff. ‘Damn! He makes good coffee. Now I know I’m in love.’ ‘Lust, you mean,’ Mandy said. ‘Love. Lust. They’re close to the same thing. You can’t really have one without the other,’ Maggie said philosophically. ‘You can, but neither is right or fun without the other,’. And they look like their lives depend on getting up here. What the heck did they spill on me in that classroom?”Suddenly Sammy pulled me back onto the bench and said, “Let’s just stay away from the edge. We’ll wait here until animal control or someone else comes by to help us.”After Sammy made her call she sat in silence I couldn’t handle seeing her like that so I said, “I called my Dad. He said it was fine if I spent the night over at your place.” More silence. “So why did you act all weird. She didn't listen. Finally, after nearly an hour of yelling one of the matrons came in and cruely and severly whipped her with a whip. Jennifer counted fifty whacks that fell across her body. She tried in vain to avoid the lash but could not. Her writhing only managed to ensure that the whip marks covered her front and back. After the matron left one of the other girls down the way told her that she could expect a lot more where that came from and to not make any trouble. Still smarting from.
