I climbed in and slammed the door shut.“What the FUCK was that?” Ms. Connor asked. I think even she was shocked by my display.“I ... I...” I t...ied to apologize, but I was too winded to even talk.“That’s two! Two times you came without permission. Look at you. You still can’t bring yourself to take your fingers out of your slutty pussy, can you?”Her words made me realize that my fingers didn’t leave my pussy the whole time. I put my head down. I couldn’t look at her as I withdrew my fingers.. God, I still remember the day that you were born. It was the best day and the worst day of my entire life. You pushed your way into this beautiful world and, for some unknown reason, your mother passed away 10 minutes after you were born. Her heart ruptured.(Pregnant pause) I guess the strain caused it to burst, I dunno. They never did have any answers for that question. So I had you there (rocking imaginary baby) looking up at me, and your mother being carted away on a gurney to some horrible. You’ve been nothing but a friend to me since this thing happened. I wouldn’t want to insult you for all the world. I had no right to say that.”“No,” her voice was strangely calm now. “You had every right, you’re absolutely right. I have been feeling sorry for myself. Even now, I’m not sure if I’m sorry that you couldn’t be helped out of your funk, or sorry that I couldn’t be the one to do it. I see that now.”Then for reasons unbeknownst to her, she stretched herself up and kissed him. It wasn’t. His name was Cartwright and he wore the rank of a one-star General on his shoulders. Mike wondered how such a travesty could have occurred in the military services but chaos makes for strange happenings. It was obvious that this immature General considered Mike and his unit to be deviating from the "talking points" of the higher headquarters and he had no patience for insubordination of any kind even if the supposed errant unit was highly decorated and successful in the post-debacle operations.
