The four boxes contained Susie and her young offspring.On the way home to Prague, they had stopped over in Norfolk for a weekend. While still in Las V...gas, Donald had flown with the instructors at Nellis Air Force Base in an F-51. In no time, his flying skills had come back to him and he gave the Americans lessons in how to handle a prop plane. At the debriefing in the Officers' Club, the American instructors were in awe. He had been routinely doing things that were supposed to be impossible. Dammit, maybe I am not going to get back to Joan as soon as I thought. I had almost finished my terrible excuse for a beer when a man walked through the butterfly doors.“Hello, Smitty. This here gent is trying to find Jack Harrison. Have you heard any more from him?”“Naw, I ain’t heard from that bastard since yesterday. If I ever do see him again, I aim to blow a big hole in his gut. He sold me a pair of mules what were supposed to be first class stock, but turned out to be completely busted.. The DA had also come out and she was sitting there close to me, watching me very closely."I'm sure that your lawyer can work out an agreement that suits you OK. Is she a relative of yours?" Not really. She is my guardian and a close family friend. I just call her my aunty." Your guardian, what about you parents... ?" They died in a car accident about six months ago. Since I was close to eighteen she accepted the responsibility. She is probably regretting it right now."The DA laughed but started. I sat there helpless, like watching a horror movie when you know the two girls are going to be attacked any minute. I lost the race by two tenths of a second. My best event, the 200 meter freestyle.The guy I lost two had placed fifth in the statewide competition last year and was a good swimmer. But I know I could have beat him if I was 100%. I got lots of sympathy and claps on the back by everyone, including Coach. It could happen to anyone, you were bound to lose sometime, better now than at.
