I knew that was always the case when you deal with a government entity. Since I had been working on it a few weeks before the others demanded admissio... to the project, even I had an no idea of how hard it was really going to be. I had been looking into the jungle idea for several weeks longer than either of the others. I was not too shocked by the news from the others.Gerome had declared himself point person for the effort, so he was the most disappointed. I understood how he felt, like I said. ..so feeling scared I got up started to make my way back to the car-park ..when “hey where you going” someone called out.It was the guy i'd met here before .“i was hoping you’d show up again” he said .“ you really gave me a nice suck last time ,ive told some of the lads about you .theyd love to meet you to , we don't get many trannys here ”I explained that id just come out for a bit of air and wasn't really up to dealing with so many guys ,”ive only done it once before ““oh nonsense” he said. ’ ‘Tom,’ Jackie said. ‘You know those guys are just mean. Why do you let them talk to you that way?’ ‘I couldn’t stand it,’ he said. ‘Allen said Preston was over here last week.’ ‘Little Bob? Really? You think I’d let Little Bob in here?’ Jackie laughed. Tom turned to look away. Jackie touched him gently on the arm, a finger tracing the bulge of his lean bicep. Tom started to pull away, but then accepted the aress. ‘I just can’t stand to think about you being with anyone else.’ Tom turned back. Then again I haven't known the family but a few weeks. You probably know them all better than I do." Who did you marry? Miss Katie?" No, I married Hattie Mae."There was silence as he pondered what I had said. Then, "Oh, I remember her a little bit. She was the youngest girl and was taken by the state." That's right. She was adopted and renamed. She lost sight of her birth family until a few weeks ago. We returned and she has rejoined the family. To me Bethanne is the only one that doesn't seem.
