On the way into the building, I ran into Ken Price, one of the lobbyists for the distribution industry. Or perhaps it would be fairer to say he ran in...o me. He was that kind of fellow. I managed to not grimace as he smirked at me."Ted Stansbury, what a surprise seeing you here. I was just telling Ramon that I hadn't seen you in weeks." Name-dropping bastard."Get used to me, Price. I'll be a fly in your ointment for a long time to come. The wind of change is in the air. It's time to let the wine. The day arrived that we had planned and my wife who usually takes a muscle relaxer before a massage was nervous so she decided to take two.She was a little loopy but this was to my advantage. My buddy arrived and I showed him our home while my wife changed. It took a little persuasion on my part to get her out of the bedroom but she came out to the living room and laid down on a comforter. My buddy sat right next to her within a foot. She laid on her stomach first and I started at her feet. .. that... thing?" Well you were rubbing me so I thought that maybe you..." What Ray, would give you a blow job? Maybe..." No Missy, just a hand job, that's all." Well you're wrong; I have no intentions of touching that thing and making you squirt all over my skirt. Good night Ray. Oh yea, Happy Birthday." Fuck you Missy; you're nothing but a prick tease anyway!"She opened the car and stepped out onto the pavement, then she looked back down at me with an expression that could only be described. "I've got friends, you know," I said conversationally. "Mahk is gonna be pretty upset with you when he finds out." Not if you break up with him," Ruhk said. "Besides, if he wants to fuck with me? I'll just fuck with you. I think he likes you enough to let you go, Jilly." Hmph ... But you don't, huh?" I glanced at the boy as he held up the remote and I really needed to get that thing away from him. "What about my mom and dad? You can't keep me, Ruhk." You mean the crazy guy and the mom who ran.
