"Well..."Tom's voice lowered into the range of threats."Tell me!" Look," said Barrett, obviously embarrassed, "while you were at the Doc's, your wife ...as been staying with old Reverend Graves and that young wife of his, Ellen." Go on."'Well, there's talk that since your wife moved in, Ellen has been whoring and your wife is mixed up in it some way."Tom was astounded. After all that had happened... "You're lying!" I kind of wish I were," Barrett replied, "but the strangest thing of all is that. It's what you'll be remembered for."The thought chilled Ashley.Almost as much as what the man meant by depraved sex."If you fail to do anything we tell you to then we'll give you pain. We're in a secluded area so no one will hear you scream. A cliche, but true. We've got whips, cattleprods, you name it. If you really piss us off we'll descend into torture. I'd just love the oppurtunity to shove some needles into your tits so don't tempt me. We also have a dildo with long sharp studs on it. If. Let me think... some damn proposal that came through a week or two ago."That set McMullen to thinking, as well. "Something about a snake," he finally managed to contribute."Oh, yeah," Harper said, dragging it out slowly. "I think I remember." He flipped his intercom. "Mollie, would you bring the file of funding requests from the last month in here?" he said.It took a few minutes to find the letter from Dr. Gerjevic of Athens University, requesting funding for television survey of the sewers in. I went to the door and locked it, then turned the lobby lights down. I closed down the register and turned a porn on the tv/dvd. The store is now starting to smell like sex.I tell Scotty to get another bench from the back and bring it to the dvd lobby. I have one of the guys help me while I'm on the ladder turning up the tv. He sees up my skirt and rubs his finger up my thigh. I smile and start to come back down. I'm close to his face and lean into him. He grabs my hips and begins to.
