I looked in the label to see they were a size ‘S’ and I needed ‘L’ or ‘XL’. I looked and saw the packet said XL so it must have been an er...or at the factory or something. This meant I would have to stay commando for tonight too. I finished getting dressed and went down to get a cab over to Mary’s place. The taxi ride seemed to take longer than I expected as traffic was slow as hell, so by the time I got there it was nearly 8 o-clock.I pressed the buzzer and a female voice (not Mary’s) answered. This continued shortly after our return from our holiday down the coast. Since I was going back to work after a three week break the following Monday, I asked two of my male reports to drop by after work on Friday to brief me on issues that had arisen, or had continued, during my absence. When they arrived, before I opened the door to them, Susan rushed off to the bathroom and dipped her head under the shower. I then showed the two guys into the lounge room, and asked them to wait while I. He was at the broker’s office on the 93rd floor of the North Tower. Look at the time of the message. It said eight-twenty-eight. Only I didn’t go to the tower. I went to the hospital and ordered a rape kit. I was sitting there waiting for them to take my blood to confirm drugs when all hell broke loose. Ambulances were leaving and arriving. No one ever came to take my blood. They came into the emergency room and asked me, politely, to please go back and wait in the waiting area because they had. I looked at Diane and as I went to speak, she said, “Yes, tell Luke, tell him you don’t want a fuss, but just so he knows. If he had Rob’s personality, I might not, but you can temper him. I’ll tell Rob, but also that he has to follow Luke’s lead as it was your date for the day.”When we left, there was no sign of him and we walked home, unmolested. We finished our talk about everything that had happened and I slept with Diane that night. She did ask me the next day not to talk so much about.
