I was happy to see that Jim Ball showed up. He still had a black eye, and was moving a little slowly.We all finally sat down when our pizza was ready....Then it quickly became 'picking' on David time, and Magic was first at bat."So David, how was your hot threesome last night?" Dude! Totally uncool!" I said with a scowl. "First of all, Cindy and Suzanne are friends of ours. You know talking out of school will get all our balls cut off."I saw everyone nodding because they all knew that those two. Hackle’s mother stormed out of the room. Her son did not go after her as he had made his decision. Many knew it was the first time he had stood up to his mother and were quietly proud of him, especially Sage.Brindle, declared the vote and a quiet relief suffused the room. Some of those who had voted yes were still reticent but they had put the need of the community first. Darcy had indicated that it was still up to them if they interacted with someone who had changed. He wouldn’t force any of. Cindy could see the hotel clerk glancing over at the three of them, and she felt that powerful thrill she'd felt in Florida when she and Willis had been together out in public. As a white female, being with a black man, and in an obviously affectionate and physical way, had made her the focus of more than one white guy, and even a number of white females, who stared at her---approvingly, or disapprovingly, it didn't matter to her. It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to provoke anyone,. This must have happened while I was escorted to the hotel to get her things she'd need. It wasn't hard to guess that.The second clip was some of the scene I had seen part of from the barred window. I nowadays think of it as "The Bum Swabbing Scene!" I still even now shudder with horror and disgust yet masochistic arousal to recall it. This clip was of course closer and clearer, to mine and Mom's eternal shame. She stood there nude, vulnerable among the three officers, as the tallest one's hands.
