Clegg knew his remark had hit home, Strangways didn't look like a man who would relish being in the thick of things. ?Going across to the European mai...land doesn't sound like my idea of a sensible career move at present. I hope you find someone with the unlikely combination of the required skills and the necessary lack of imagination to go. I don’t think it’s quite my idea of an interesting project. Good afternoon.? Clegg got up to leave. The Wren officer looked disappointed.Strangways closed. Herman will be careful what he touches and won’t be able to lift anything too heavy for at least four to five days. Don’t worry about him tonight.”My smile was infectious, and she laughed thinking about Herman’s pain. “I will walk you to wherever you are staying and I promise you that Herman doesn’t want anything to do with the pain I put in his wrist already. If I have to do it again, it won’t go well for him. Do you need to phone in and report his attack?”Getting her thinking about work. We’ll kill you where we find you. Understood?”The men nodded. The youngster, who had been sobbing with pain, looked up and grinned. “You ain’t got a crew, not no more. Butch and the Preacher decided to pay your ranch a little visit. They’re probably shacked up in that big house right now, enjoying those stuck up bitches. I just wish I was there instead of here. I always wanted me a redhead.”The world slowed. My vision narrowed, and I could hear my heartbeat. I didn’t realize it, but my crew had. Dad and I were starting to get ready for the party when you dad asked me for a favor. What might that be honey, I asked him? ( I had a pretty good idea what he was going to ask, but I wanted to hear it from him.) You know how important this position is to me, don't you honey? Yes dear, I do, I told him. I want you to put on something really sexy tonight, almost slutish, but not to much. Maybe something short and a deep V top, something like that, he said. You dad was shaking as he aske me to do.
