That thing has extensive information on dealing death and deactivating other machines. We have our job cut out for us going after it and him." The pr...moted man nodded a moment then saluted, "Yes sir, getting the message to the programmer and the techs. Will there be anything else?" The older man stood there a moment lost in his thoughts then turned. "Yeah get me a decent cigar. The piece of shit things they have here are real ass biters." Snapping to a salute the younger man nodded then fled. "Mom gave me another squeeze."I think he's a little sexy, too, I added. Apparently David heard something in my tone, because he gave me a funny look when I said that."Anyway, it was a warm afternoon and we were all pretty hot and sweaty by the time we'd made it over Jasper Ridge and into the little meadow behind it. We'd brought along some sandwiches and water and some fruit, and we sat down in the shade for a bit to have some lunch."Mom kissed me again, and started moving her hands on my back. …Okay… Okay. Uh. Okay, Mom. Thank you. ‘Bye.’ ‘What’d she say,’ Colin asked. Heather turned around in his arms, her face a picture of astonishment. ‘She said I could come home whenever I wanted.’ Colin blinked. ‘What, like…’ ‘No deadline,’ Heather said. ‘She said I could do anything I wanted. Even not come home until tomorrow.’ ‘And what was that about dating me,’ he asked. ‘Well,’ Heather said, tossing her head to clear her face of hair, ‘she said we’d started dating. Like, it wasn’t even. I stood there checking Mandy out as she ran her mouth and made an attempt to act like I was only the guy who had worked for her a few years earlier. What she absolutely did not want to let on about in any way was the fact that she and I had spent so much time having sex together that we'd probably actually fucked more than she and her husband had. I don't think Mandy and her hubby were that sexually active, but you sure couldn't have said that about the time Mandy was near me."Mandy, shut the.
