..Three weeks laterOut of the blue, the stranger suprised Beth by sending an email saying that he would be there by seven that evening. He knew that h...r husband was going away on a weekend's hunting trip. Beth looked at the digital alarm clock on the night stand beside the bed. It said 6:30 pm. She had finished taking a long hot bubble bath and was now sitting on the bed naked, getting ready to put on the ball gag, blindfold and handcuffs.Beth put everything on, only this time she didn’t shove. The brakes were a little touchy, but then this was a heavier plane. The instructor was constantly showing me features and telling me what to do if this or that should happen. We were cleared to the active runway. We did the run-up and released the brakes for the take off. I was amazed at the speed at which we accelerated. The plane seemed ready to lift off long before the airspeed indicator said to go. I lifted off to climb-out to our assigned forty-five hundred feet very fast. We headed east. "On the books it is ninety-eight, and ninety eight it is!" Oh, goody," thought Chris Mullins as he listened to Mary's conversation with the woman. "They steal from the girls as well. What nasty people."The woman went back to the dressing room and chased Faye and Danby out onto the main club floor. Then she began to berate Belinda for getting sick. Belinda tried to tell her it was food poisoning and she had to go to the doctor. The woman wanted to hear none of it, and said, "If you go, you. ?” he asked nervously. “Afraid so, Sweetie. I’ll be here until wefind a cure or we run out of food.” “There is no way I could . . .?” “No, honey. The dome is completely sealed.Not even air, not to mention a probablyinfected male can be allowed to enter.” Thiswas not easy for Mercedes to say. She wasalready missing her lovable if otherworldlypoet. He was not a prize catch by manystandards — only averagely handsome, certainlynot rich on.
