Grace and I were appreciative of the armor plate between the kittens and the cockpit.The -Q had a long tapered canopy that looked similar to a T-33 ca...opy but slightly longer. It's a big aircraft and the nice teardrop canopy of the single seat AD-1 or 2 looks misplaced on such a huge single engined aircraft. The fuselage is so much bigger, there was a torpedo bay on the original craft that was eliminated as unnecessary, that the radial engine that looks huge on the B-29, looks like a toy. When her eyes met Trevor’s across the length of the floor, she wanted to moan. Horror flitted across his face followed quickly by an intense rage and she had the sudden, hysterical vision of him leaping across the counter and taking down the bad guy. Followed by a horrifying vision of him dead on the floor in front of her for trying it. ‘Don’t even think about it,’ the guy holding the gun to her head said, his voice calm and sure. Avery closed her eyes and gulped, but when she opened them. It was an impossible dream and the most she could hope for was to be his mistress… his colored mistress. At least that was still legal in California, if frowned upon. For all their self-righteousness, white men and colored women had been having sex since before American slavery existed and if you were to believe the rumors, there were white women who preferred to sleep with colored men. She wondered why. Except for the obvious color difference, there was no difference. Her sister Eliza had told. Carefully I was checking my watch. By 11.45 I was on my feet pretending to look for a place to take a pee. Nicky did not disappoint me; she was right on time. I switched the camera on and layed on my back so I could not see her approaching, and under the cover of my sunglasses pretending to read my book and listening to my disc man I started observing Jacqui.Something must have caught her eye as she stopped reading and moved her sunnies down her cute little nose to get a better look. There was.
