"{"Stand by. I'll send someone out."}They could hear the radio answer.A minute later, a detective came out looking at them intently. "May I see some I...?" he asked.Three of them produced drivers' licenses and Melanie her student ID. The detective studied them. Then he looked at Judy. "You're the deputy from Montana who nailed our perp?"Judy nodded. "I guess I am." Well, thanks for helping out. Look, I can't let you inside. We're still not finished processing the evidence. If you want, you can. I’m bloody itchy down there,’ I grumbled. Jackie stopped halfway through lifting her mug to her mouth. We just looked at each other, as Lucy came crashing through the door. She stood with a grin on her face. ‘Guess what, Stuart has asked me to marry him….well?’ ‘Jackie, will you have a look for me?’ I asked faintly. ‘Hello? Are you two pissed off with me or something? I said I’m getting fucking married!’ ‘Lucy this is a little more important than your fourth engagement without an end result!’. "Mary seemed to have become the spokeswoman for the three of them. "I think the main thing we want is the feeling that we belong to a family; I almost said that we want to belong to you, but I think that's Nytoya's line. It may end up that all of the women in this household end up as deeply in love with you as we are, and you with them; that doesn't matter. What matters is that we want to feel that love and know that it's forever."Steven took his hand from Nytoya's breast, where he'd been. At first I thought Joseph was simply asking me if I wanted a drink, which I didn't understand because I had one in my hand. He introduced himeslf and asked what part of the ship I was staying on...I thought this was an odd question but I told him anyway. He was smiling at me in a flirty way...I have been hit on by guys before (I'm mainly straight but I have in the past gone to bed with a couple of other guys) he kept saying maybe we can see each other again before this is over in his cute.
