The main lights dimmed as they entered a more secluded area. A guy was slouched in a chair near the door, a girl blowing him. There were others in the...room, a couple of groups near the back wall on the left and another one on her right. The music was still thumping but in the distance now.They walked a bit deeper into the lounge and then Steph was tossed onto a couch. It was a long couch, stretching out along the wall and she wasn't the only one on it. Next to her was Cheney, legs spread with. I slowly opened the door. Luckily, it was well oiled and didn't squeak. I went down a step at a time and listened for another noise. The sharp crack of a whip and a muffled whimper was heard. I pulled out my roscoe and continued down the stairs.What I saw really burned me up! A white woman was chained to the wall with the top half of her dress pulled down to her waist. She was facing the wall and I could see some red welts on her back. Her long brown hair was tucked over her shoulder to leave. "Worse than that," Hugh replied, "given the life expectancy of men, you will die 8 years sooner, so you've really lost 12 years." Well, aren't you the cheerful one." Erin wrinkled her nose at him. It was a very un-Hugh like expression, and Hugh couldn't help laughing at how incongruous it looked. "Well," Erin continued, "at least I'll still be able to father children when I'm 90." Well, hopefully we'll never have to test that out."All in all, Hugh could barely think straight, and was glad that.
