So,you'd better hope that nothing happens to me." I sipped my coffee andnibbled on the pastry."Second, I distrust you, and that putita of yours, and o... course Ms.Candice Bryceland. I will listen to you. I will consider whatever yousay. But I will not believe anything you say until I independentlyverify it." I sipped my coffee and nibbled on the pastry."Last, I frankly don't know why you are here. I have my own life. Noneof you are part of it. You and the other two... well, the other twowomen,. Her voice was a soft whisper, ‘I like the idea of a package deal. You are ok with that? Living here and making babies alongside me?

Consequently, I slept a great deal that evening.I had spent enough time sleeping the evening before, so that I was very hungry that last morning. I was way past ready to eat when the teenager came for us. I was ready to suggest that we get up and leave. During the twenty minute wait, Marty stayed on his fancy phone, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I was losing my good mood during that wait."What the hell are you doing?" I finally asked."Just telling some friends from the forum that we made. Well they all looked like I do now."Did that not alert your suspicions at the time?"Of course not, why would I have suspected something which at the time I 'knew' was impossible?

I was too young and naïve to be suspicious."So what happened?"I just did my normal thing; talked my way into a local hotel, borrowed some money of the kind-hearted.
