~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke leaned against his car in boredom while he waited for Chloe. A sweaty farmhand a...proached him. Luke eyed him suspiciously, he was tall with broad shoulders, and shaggy black hair that hung in front of his dark eyes. Another was with him, but this one was built the same- a little more muscular, not as lean- with straw blond hair and icy blue eyes. The two men exchanged glances, and Luke stood taller. Hello, He said warily.. .. and my sister ... Nicki Grimes."Executor ... of my estate ... to be Margo ... if not ... then Carol ... if not ... then Kelly."My share of ... Grimes & Pinard ... to be administered ... by Karen Pinard ... for the benefit ... of my heirs."You need ... anything else ... from me?" No Harry, just let Mattie get the blanks filled in, get it printed up, we've got witnesses aplenty here, and then you sign as best you can. Then you let them knock you out ... you look more than half-dead."A faint. Removed my sandals and walked to the side door on the lower level of the cabin. I knocked once, stood quietly looking down at the bottom of the door. Not sure what I had gotten myself into, but looking forward to whatever was going to happen.After a short wait a man opened the door. I was reasonably sure it was Roman. With my eyes cast down I was not certain. He grabbed me by the collar pulling me into the room. The door closed behind me. “Unbutton your shirt and drop your shorts!” he demanded.. I have an apron for cooking and then of course clothes for when I have to leave the house, but inside the house I couldn’t wear anything. I slipped my apron on and started the bacon and coffee. Nicholas came to the table and sat down. “I am only working a half day today. Go to bed when I leave and I will wake you when I get home. We have an appointment this evening and you need to be well rested.” After he left I went straight to sleep dreaming of blindfolds and ball gags with a satisfied grin.
