Mark andI thought we were making progress when a cell call from aparental unit caused them to excuse themselves outdoorsaway from the noise. One of th...m came back and said theyhad to leave but gave us a number to reach them at later.Mark and I agreed this was one number that was going tobe used but secretly I wanted them both for myself(preferably together).Maybe it was that TA with the raven black hair? She wasolder perhaps 27 or 28 with a womanly figure, big fullbreasts and hips and a wasp. "Sir, I am sorry that it took me so long to get acclimated with some of the procedures here at Braxton, but I can assure you that I will do whatever it takes to keep up my grades and prove to you that you made the right choice by allowing me to attend this fine institution," I pleaded."Well seeing that this is your first semester here, and the fact that you managed to pull your grades back up before it ended, I won't be putting you on academic probation, this time. I will; however, be closely. ." I let it dangle in mid-air."Although... ?" she prompted."Although we don't have time to get into that. We're trying to get to the airport with our trusty canine companion by 0930. We have to dress him in his vest, and dress the H2 in its disguise." I touched the ITE earpiece. "Io? Have you given any thought to where we're going to park the trusty steed?"For the first time, there was a pause before she answered. "Yes, we shall park with the police on the side of the building." Is something. We drove around a little, strolled the aisles at the local Walmart, and otherwise twiddled our thumbs.The last thing we did in Crescent City was stop at the 76 station on the way to the airport to top off the gas tank."I did not use my talent in any way," I had reminded Bud. "I didn't do anything a person with my training and experience couldn't have done just as well." You drew attention to yourself," this was his real complaint, and while there was some merit to it, I suppose, I disagreed.
