"Are you laughing at us?” Janice asks with a crestfallen look. Struggling for breath, I blurt out, “No not at you at myself.” “Why?” “The ...ape still exists, however only I have a copy. I was going to use it to force you to do exactly what YOU want me to do.” “Really?” “Yes really.” Kate breaks into a smile. “Cool.” Janice asks me. “Chris, what do you think, are we lesbians?” “No way! I think that you probably enjoy girls as much as boys and men which would make you bisexual.” “That sounds like. We said our usual greetings, and got our things settled in our room, which had two beds. We went out to dinner with the team and came back. It had been a fun, if not quiet night so far. When we got to the room I realized I hadn’t showered since the night before, and I was starting to carry a musty odor with me. I assume my dad was feeling the same way by how he did the little lift-your-arm-and-smell movement. It was time we both showered. But who was going to step in first? I was about to open. Dad just fired the head of the Fargo office because of the poor performance in the office. He asked me if I knew anybody who could turn them around, and I told him you could. So I’m offering you the job as the Fargo branch manager.” Cockily, I replied, “Is this offer coming from you or is Steve making this offer?” “Paul, why are you busting my balls over this?” “Because I can,” I said as I hung up the phone. Jaime, having only heard my side of the conversation, looked at me with ever widening. God, I'm so glad you came and found me last night." You're right--the guys at that frat house didn't even want me to call 911, they were so worried about being found out." They should be thanking you, now, it would have been worse if I had been dead. Which they tell me was a possibility. Oh God, Elise, what am I going to do with myself?" Not do this again, for one thing. Please. I don't think my heart can take it." Deal." I got someone that wants to see you." Who?" Wait right here, I'll send.
