"I'm sorry! I'm..." I felt my face heating up. Lily suddenly disappeared.The clouds, the sky, everything disappeared, and I was in a jungle, standing ...t the edge of a raging river. The brown river water was filled with syringes, condoms, and porn magazines. It was a river filled with filth, and in the middle of the river, I saw Lily, struggling to stay afloat. It was a horrific sight—such a clean and pure little girl swimming in so much filth. I tried to get to the girl, but before I reached. We took the stuff we had prepared while we had been talking and served it out to the others when we went back to the living room. I saw Rory looking at Becky he had obviously been wondering what had taken us so long. Little did he know that for me anyway, momentous things had been happening. I had no doubt Becky would soon put him in the picture.RebeccaAs their lifts arrived the others began to leave and only the four of us were left and Marjory turned to Kenny to let him know what was. Anne took her brother giving brief responses as him still being shortwith her. She became frustrated that her family was not making it easy onCharlie. and let it out by saying, "I guess Jeff would much rather talkabout dressing up like a little girl."Charlie laughed for he was nervous, and thought it was an inside joke.Lawrence shot Charlie a look which told him otherwise. Jeff said, "Howcould you? That is private!"Anne said, "You should not do anything which you do not want other peopleto know. "Oh?" I had a frank talk with Terri yesterday and it helped clear up the matter." I still wish you had thought to invite me to that meeting." I did tell you I would handle it. Anyway, I felt it would be less intimidating if it were just me. Less confrontational that way."Seeger folded his arms. "I seem to recall that it was you that wanted to tread the confrontational route, considering what you had me do." I reserve the right to change tactics when I believe it will achieve the goal faster..
