??It is an exciting thought, Emma.??Yes it is, Mistress.?The conversation had occurred three days ago, and now tonight the womanstood in her under gow... in the discrete and quiet room on the secondfloor of Reynard?s Inn. I had paid Reynard in advance and had told himthat he would see a cloaked and hooded woman arrive, but that he shouldignore any comings and goings after that. He raised a curious eyebrow butat the sight of the minted coins in his hand he agreed not to ask anyquestions. He. “Okay,” I replied, “Before I assign your punishments, I have to ask one more question.” I paused and deliberated for a second, intentionally raising the drama. “What the hell were you two thinking?” I asked. Neither trainee answered. “Okay, “ I remarked, “Let me ask again…what were you thinking?” Private Lovejoy looked at her fellow trainee. “It was an accident,” Private Lovejoy remarked. “An accident?” I shot back, “How does sleeping in the same bunk bed with a fellow trainee happen by. All the others are much shorter, more like him,” as he pointed to Tovar. “But all our people are big like me, only not so tall. We have watched your camp since you arrived from the sky. We were hunting on the plateau over there,” and he pointed to the plateau by the second canyon. “We hear big thunder and then you and woman are in meadow. We watch for many days to see you work to make good camp. Most of our people go home but two of us stay and watch you. We are small tribe, we have few people,. They said she left about a couple hours ago. Well then she must be at the pool I thought but I looked and looked but no sign of her. Checked the casino but still no sign. I texted her but didn't get a reply. I figured in all the running around I missed her so I went back to the room and still no sign but at least it had quieted down next door. I called my wife's cell and that when I nearly passed out. I could faintly hear the distinctive ringtone on her phone that rings when I call coming.
