Before I can respond, Cindy is alread... talking."Um yes sis this is Ms. Huntington, Chrissie's new teacher and her newfriends from school, the twins Tammy and Lisa." I listen but I want tocry. "They said Chrissie was jealous being the only girl not wearing adress today in school and the twins brought all there old dresses over togive to Chrissie."I notice Pam lean down to look me in. It was a weekday night, no idea which one but I know it was a weekday as I was leaving the house in the morning, to drive to work. That meant it would have to be an early night ;) and not too much booze. I didn't get to Steve until maybe 6.00pm but went straight in and got changed. I remember the outfit well, as it was one of my favourites. Strappy pink vest top, a very short pink, gray and black mini skirt which was so short that it sometimes failed to hide anything, opaque black tights. I learned that the company was started by Tyler after he was medically retired from the police force. He was wounded saving the life of a hostage and couldn't pass the physical to return to the job because of some bone damage that resulted.Not long after he got the company off the ground he recruited Karen and Todd and made them partners. Karen came out of the CIA and Todd was working computer crimes for the FBI when he was recruited.They still do some investigative work if a case is. Richard and Ellen found lodgings in a hotel across from the ducal palace. Once they had settled in they had a quiet dinner in the common room of the hotel and went to bed early.The following morning, Richard sent a letter of introduction to the palace, announcing his presence and position. Within two hours they received a friendly invitation to tea by the Duke’s First Minister. Richard and Ellen made use of the free time by strolling through the city. They had lunch in the garden of a small pub.
