Because of her reluctance in this area I didn’t want to push things too much. But as reluctant as she was toward this subject I was on the opposite e...d of the spectrum and fantasized about group play. So whenever I felt it was a good time to broach the subject again I would do just that. My persistence finally wore down her resistance and she agreed to check out a party-house with me but made it clear this was my idea and she didn’t think anything sexual was going happen. We would just check it. It must have worked real well because all of a sudden we were pals again and bygones were bygones and Tony moved on past the fact that I was not only an ex-cop but I was his arresting officer in the bullshit cigarette case that annoyed him most of all.Eventually, my initial trial date was set for a full hearing on all of the charges.My lawyer came in to brief me a couple of times and she was so accepting of the charges that I determined the first thing I needed to do was arrange with Uncle Joe. Only on little boys and babies. You won't hurt me will you?" No Alice. I would never hurt you. When you come to see me we'll only do what ever you want to do. Nothing more. If you just want to talk that's fine. If you want more I'll let you lead the way. No pressure to do anything unless you want it. Don't be scared. I promise it'll be fun." Okay. I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow at about four thirty. Good night Brad." Good night love. See you soon."That night I dreamed of Alice doing. The cottage loomed darkly under the full moon, unlit and empty. It was unlocked.The flickering beam of the penlight showed the same well-manicured interior he had seen in the daytime. There was the open guest book. He looked. His was the last name in it. What the hell was he looking for, anyway?Secrets? Hidden trapdoors? Ha! This phony hut was just one more roadside tourist trap. A waste of time.Charlie thought he heard a voice echoing in the distance. Was someone singing?Outside. There was.
