She lived a jolly life may be because she wanted to forget all her past. (Her past was full of tragedies, which I don’t want to explain now and even...you wont be interested in all those sad stories.) She used to go have drinks with her friends during the parties but she never used to be really so much drunk that she looses her control. But after one late night party when she reached the house I found that she was totally drunk and she had a bottle of beer in her hands when she knocked the door.. Don’t ask her ... are YOU available to swan around on the big lake for a day or two.”“Are you kidding? She flew all the way to Ottawa to pick me up ... sure. I could take a week.”“I can’t,” David said. “I’m dredging.” He pointed at a tug and an odd looking dredge.“What is that?” I asked.“Gold dredge ... a big one. There’s no sense wasting resources. I make my money and add to Junior’s coffers cleaning up a century and a half of poor management ... and there’s about fifteen thousand first growth. Last time was the punishment box. What did she have in store for them this time? And then Renfro continued, “Clearly something needs to be done to… assist the two of you in this mission. I will look into it, but in the meantime, carry on as scheduled.” Every single alarm in Alec’s head went off. Shit, now he knew for sure it was not something good. Renfro could not even be bothered to punish them, so what was she up to? Alec gritted his teeth, pushing back the overwhelming urge to shout at Max. His companions were likewise scared spitless. Jumping at every thing that went bump! Or hoot! In the night. They had lucked out in a way, being the night of a new moon. There was however just enough starlight to see by. Unfortunately that meant any light used would also be seen for miles. It had taken almost forty minutes, creeping around in the dark just to get to the top. Then a while longer to be certain the place was deserted. Now, at long last they began creeping up to the shine.
