I frowned at him. Where was he going with this line? He stood and walked around behind the couch. ‘I feel that I know you.’ I felt his hands touch...the back of my head. He began to seductively massage my scalp. It felt wonderful and, for some reason, I let him continue. ‘I don’t think we ever met before,’ I mumbled. He laughed softly. ‘You never know.’ He stopped rubbing my head. ‘Pick up your drink.’ I did as I was told. I thought how strange it was to just blindly comply with his orders. It. I listen. I know he’s coming. From the moment I heard him shout in the room down the hall, Jenn’s room, I’ve been sure that this is the night I will die. Maybe his gun will kill me. Maybe a heart attack.

I had stayed hard, but tried to ignore it.She was a luscious young woman, and I had been eager to bed her and plunder her ripe body before her stupid brother and his crew of redcoated jackals appeared. I shot the boy officer off his horse and then we ran, she in her frilly shift and half-loosened corset and me still booted thank you very much with my shirttail flapping and flies ahoo.Now we lay together in a ditch while I showed her how to prime properly and snap the frizzen closed. We kissed. The younger began to follow, however,the older stopped and grunted something to him. The youngerturned, looked at Jimmy, and then looked back at the older again.Finally he turned and returned back to Jimmy, climbing into hislap and wrapping his arms around his neck.Jimmy's older friend disappeared from the hut, and after about ahalf hour he did not return, Jimmy understood that he had left himwith the younger monkey for the night. Jimmy decided that theolder monkey had left the younger with.
