He was tall, tall compared to me that is, about 5' 9" and weighed about 180 lbs. He was not fat, but he was not skinny either. He actually cut a nice ...ooking figure. He had blond shoulder length hair, and a bushy blond moustache. I liked the way that he looked.Then he really floored me."You look like a girl." Yeah, I know. I get teased about it a lot." If you were really a girl, you'd be really cute, you know that?" Really? Cute? Geeze, I never though of myself like that before." You know, I. He killed your grandson, not us!" SILENCE!!!" the old woman boomed, and it felt like a hammer blow acrossthe face. The wind was shrieking in our ears all around us like ahurricane, whipping up antiques and doing more damage to the shop thanever we had done."IT'S TOO LATE FOR EXCUSES ... FAR, FAR TOO LATE!"I finally saw the old woman for what she was in that moment, thatwindstorm whipping wildly around her. I snapped out of it from Jessieand stared back at her, feeling genuine fear for maybe the. In minutes, this terrible war will be over. Makhtol will have been stopped before he could kill any more innocent people. You have done it. You stopped him." Why don't I feel better then?" Because of the cost in human lives that it took to stop him. The price was extremely high, but unfortunately it had to be paid. If we had not paid the price we did, he would not have been stopped and he would be in position to conquer the world. We could not allow that to happen."General Alexander, who had. "You scared me as much as I did you."The young wife drew in a deep breath, and stepped aside. She knew that it would do no good to try to keep him out; that until she and Bill figured out some way to thwart him, she would have to remain his unwilling servant. Today was the first time she had heard from him in days, and she had hoped that he might have decided not to do anything more to her. Perhaps he has changed his mind, was all she had been able to think of since that terrible night, though.
