Rooting around with my hands still loosely linked made things mildly difficult, but in less than a minute I'd found what I wanted. Gripping it in my ...eeth I turned around and crawled back to Rick. He was watching me with curiosity, trying to figure out what I had in my mouth. Recognition only dawned when I dropped it on the bed in front of him. His hands reached out cautiously and picked up the leash; it was ordinary chain with a snap hook on one end and a leather strap on the other,. The after party was a must, but sadly, turned out to be a major let down. Of course being the party girl I am I stayed even after all my friends had left. I recognized no one, I was the only sophomore in the rowdy crowd. I was being pushed and shoved, now and then an overly friendly hand would slip to my ass. I was tired, and a little buzzed so around 11 I decided to go home before I got into any real trouble. Slipping off my heels I started the long walk home. For the beginning of October it. " How did Mr Siddeley say the limit was to be raised to?" Only a quarter of what I wanted. I only got five million."Mr Jackson's eyes bulged out and he mouthed the words twice before he was able to verbally whisper the amount. "He set the limit at five million dollars?" He sure did. Remember what I said a while ago?" Yes I do. I hope the bank did not squeal when you stuck it to them." They took it like gentlemen. That does not mean that I do not need some of the money now." I can loan you. I invited Sarah to join me for my survey, so we rode out with a picnic lunch and a couple of extra canteens of water.I did not take long to reach the near cliff and we rode along it from the waterfall for about five miles. At this point, the cliff had shrunk to about twenty feet. I could not tell if the land at the top of the cliff had dropped or the valley had risen, but this looked like the practical limit of our lake, which I had already started calling Lake Sarah. We rode a little further.
