I remembered doing that role a few years ago. Hell, I would have done it for free! Sitting beneath the bridge, watching women with nothing on beneat... flowing gowns stop on the bridge, chasing girls who bounced out of their corsets. Yeah, that had been a fun time. The fat drops of rain fell without warning like stones from the sky. Looking up, the cloud was neither large nor threatening, but it was dropping without warning raindrops the size of small water balloons on the hot late summer. Judith spoke first and said it was too bad there was no place private around here to use. I looked around and spotted a little stand of pine trees not too far away. I told her it wasn't total private, but at least we wouldn't be out in the open. We walked over to my car first, I had a couple of big towels in the trunk I use to dry the car when I wash it, I thought we could put them on the ground so we wouldn't be right on the pine needles. Judith carried the towels and led the way to the. "take a look in the mirror if you want, but wait up here till I call you," Donna Marie said. Then she went to answer the door. Travis sat for several minutes wondering if he really wanted to see himself like this. If he really looked as ridiculous as he felt how could he face an evening of being humiliated this way in front of...That brought another interesting question to Travis' consciousness. What was exactly Donna Marie to him? Was she just the girl he was dating, his girlfriend? He was. You can come stay at my place. Even if its just for the night. Im not letting you stay here alone. And for the last time, where did he hurt you? She stared at him and let her stubborn streak kick in, tired as she was. Thats really none of your business, she said. And thank you for the offer, but well stay here. Were perfectly safe. He pointed his finger at the bed. What would have happened if I wasnt the one to come to Nikita? What if it was some rapist, or a thief, or a murderer? You say you.
