I believe you when you told me weeks ago that I was desirable. You don't have take me, your friends are going to laugh at you. Their going to say coul...n't you do better than your sister?" "Sue Ann, you may be right. They may laugh at me. But... you're also right, I couldn't do better than my sister. You're going into town tomorrow, with money I'm going to give you that I saved from my job last summer, and you're going to buy a fancy dress to wear." As I held her close to me, I felt tears on her. ^="This lot comes to six-thousand-four-hundred-sixty seven dollars and thirty-eight cents. Will this be cash or charge?" The liquor store manager didn't bat an eye as he read out the total. Sheila cringed a bit and dug through her wallet and handed the man her Radiant Blue Titanium credit card. Prestige credit cards are designed to impress strangers with the owner's willingness to spend money they don't have. I smiled; even debt has class distinctions."Who spends six-grand on a case of booze?. You may live wherever you choose. You'll have my protection in the city and Alis will be provided whatever she needs." You're so generous." What good is having things if you can't share?" At that time Mark entered the room with Allsun on his arm. Aengus looked at her, then quickly to Mark who nodded. Aengus stood and bowed. Allsun waved him down,"Please I'm no lady. The good leader has made me more than I am. I'm a serving girl with a child." You're very pretty." Mark took in the exchange, both. A forest of bristling spears stood between us and freedom. They advanced, moving almost as one, their footsteps booming down the metallic streets. The Samurai drew his katana. His three whores, riding side-saddle behind him on their own nightmares, seemed as calm as if it was a Sunday jaunt.More soldiers poured into the streets from around us. I focused on the Samurai and shot out my new-found power, lashing out with a fist of force at the red-clad monster. I poured all my hate into smashing.
