Mike had to laugh at the way everyone complained about having to tote water up the hill several times each day knowing that the proximity of water was...the main reason he had selected this ideal hideout.The sudden appearance of a low-flying helicopter caused Mike to duck back into the cave and he hoped the flight crew had not seen him at the entrance to the cave. After they were gone, he told Wesley to come with him and they hustled back to the RV and the pickup. They both drove them the edge of. And – glancing at his jeans – maybe you should too? There were a handful of other patrons in the hotel restaurant when they entered. No likely candidates for what he had in mind, she noted with relief. They were shown to their table by their waitress, a bored-looking lass. From the island, judging by her voice. Dinner was fine, but not worth what they paid for it. They settled the bill, and keeked in the bar. Very quiet. She tugged at his hand, not wanting him to drink anything more: -Let’s go. “Why did Irene say we had to hurry?” I asked.“Oh she has it all timed out to the last minute. She only gave me three minutes to thank you and…”“Timed what out to the last minute,” I interrupted“Our evening, oh she had it all planned with little diagrams and I told her it was silly. She says that with in 12 to 24 minutes after eating a big meal a man will have to, you know evacuate and…” She stopped and looked at me, “Do you, I mean, need a rest room?”“No, but it might be a good idea to humor. I hope her folks come to visit."The first voice wasn't Lisa's, but probably Mercy's or Missy's. The second voice was definitely Lisa's. How many people are going to nose around in my head anyway?There was soft laughter that was obviously coming from my two little nieces. They had been so quiet lately that you didn't even realize they were around, except that I constantly saw them with the other kids and with Aunt Etta. I wondered how much they listen into Lisa and me. My aunt was always smiling.
