The POWs spent the next week picking apples for Herr Youndt on his nearly eighty acres of orchards. The following week the work crew headed to help a ...armer named Marvin Wenger bring in his hay crop.“Guten morgen, meine Herren,” Herr Wenger announced as the work crew climbed off the truck. The 10 prisoners climbing out of the truck looked slightly surprised at Herr Wenger’s excellent, though slightly accented deutsch.Herr Wenger continued on, auf deutsch, explaining what he needed done. He. And within 24hrs, I received a call from US number and here she was speaking to me and inviting me to come to US. I have been there many times for official board meetings etc, but then this was tempting.I was also not sure what is in her mind and to test the waters I asked her jokingly, “Nancy, you know whom you are inviting a tall and handsome Indian guy can you handle me”? And I was amazed with her reply “Vijay, you will not be disappointed”. I was stunned. I told her that I will be there. If what Lars told me is true, it was now my office. Lars would take care of the books and hold the agency license until I’d completed my three-year probation and tested but he promised the business was mine and he would hand over the accounts as soon as he verified them and reported the inheritance to the State.

Shaunna’s amazement reached its height as she saw her lover bringing her glistening fingers to her lips, licking them off slowly and thoroughly. She winked then, making Shaunna blush furiously and fumble for a tissue to wipe the rest of her off discreetly before she walked on trembling legs to the washroom. All those memories… Shaunna was crying now. Dry, breathless sobs sucked air out of her.
