Just as I was about to play the tape, there was a knock at the door. "Dad," Nikki called from the other side. "You respectable in there?" Are you goin... out again?" I asked, anticipating her request. "You can take my car, but just call the garage before you leave. They'll need to know where your car is."There was a pause before she said, proving that I am a creature of habit, "No, I wasn't thinking about going out. I just wanted to, you know, talk to you. I mean, we rarely talk to each other, I. Happy with a 2-1 win, John and I made our way out of the stadium.“Want to come back if they play here again in this series?” he asked.“Want to? Yes. But I really don’t have the time. Besides, I’m confident they’ll take down the Caps! I’ll see you in a week or so when they take on the Rangers or Islanders.”“It’s got to be the Rangers,” John said. “I’m thinking sweep.”“Then I’ll see you for a Penguins-Rangers game in a week or so!”We shook hands and he headed home while I headed for the hotel,. “Oh my God,” Tina howled. “Oh fuck,” she said, looking down at all the attention she was receiving. Fire was filling her body from everywhere. She looked back to see the blonde kneeling behind her. Suddenly a strong hand took her hair in it’s grip and turned her face. She found the beautiful black girl nearing for a kiss. Before she could think, their mouths were touching. Before she could decided if she wanted to kiss, she decided that she liked this kiss more than any other kiss she had ever. "I heard Sheriff Hawkins was forced to take off her clothes, that she was raped before..." Where did you hear garbage like that?" asked Sam."Oh, there are rumors. An orderly at the hospital said she was delirious when they brought her in, that she kept saying she was naked." Yeah, well Sheriff Hawkins is funny that way. She always hunts armed rapists and murderers in the nude," smiled Sam."But the orderly also told me she said she'd been raped." Well you said yourself she was delirious. We had.
