“It was actually her idea to give you the blow job in the phone booth,” one explained as they all sat in the diner. “Is that right?” Matt aske... as he looked at her. “Yep, and now that I know you a little better, who knows, I might swallow the next time,” she teased. After some casual conversation the two buddies left Megan and Matt to themselves and they found their way to Matt’s apartment. Once inside, Matt locked the door and pulled Megan close to him and the two exchanged a heated kiss.. All this, while he sat on his horse with the noose around his neck.Finally, one man said he wasn’t gonna be a part of no hanging and got up from the circle. The man mounted his horse and rode up next to Jerl. He slipped the noose off his neck and jerked him from the saddle. Jerl fell to the ground, hands still tied behind his back and rolled in the dirt until he could get his knees under him.Kneeling in the dirt, hands tied behind his back, he raised up just in time to catch the point of a boot. As she drew back to take another swing at me, I snapped out my right hand and soundly backhanded her across her right cheek.Though my backhand startled and knocked her back, she quickly recovered and came forward again.Jumping out from behind my desk, I grabbed her right wrist as she swung at my head. Twisting her arm behind her back into a hammer lock, I pushed her hard up against the wall. Using my weight to pin her struggling body against the wall, I retrieved my handcuffs from their holster. I could hear Gwen's screams as she tried to get to me, while a sobbing D held her back, knowing they couldn't reach me.I realised though, as the fire became more intense, something was off, I didn't feel as if I was burning. My clothes had been almost completely consumed by flame and my body was at the centre of an inferno. Yet, while I could feel the heat, it was not painful. It was more an abstract quality, just a temperature I could feel around me, similar to stepping from the cold outside,.
