I jumped from my seat."How dare you interfere and modify a colonial A.I., that is a crime punishable by death!" I said pointing my finger at him.He ra...sed his rifle and motion me to sit back down."I am not done yet." Jacob said staring at me.I sat back down."From what the A.I. Told us and what I learned from Adam all those years ago, it appears that the Colonies had rebelled once against earth and got defeated. It would seem they rebelled a second time, the A.I. Had no idea what happened to. You show me pictures of loved ones and events, you tell me boring normal stories as if I could somehow just absorb your normality and all would be well.

Her slaves and servants seemed to accept me as part of the family, obviously well-aware of my extra duties."Now," I said, as we lay resting on the third Saturday evening, holding hands and hoping our bodies would recover enough to join again, "how about tomorrow evening since we had fun on Friday and that would be the next every-other-day?" My goal was to mount her daily and twice on Sunday if at all possible."I'm entertaining tomorrow," she said. "Sorry." Damn," I said, kissing my way down. I was as happy as I had been in months. This was the deal of a lifetime and I had taken my law firm to the big time by putting it together. I was proud and couldn't wait to share the news with my wife Helene. Now we could go on that long-awaited vacation we had planed for months. Even better I had wrapped it all up two days early.As we passed the Palace Hotel on Market Street my tired eyes were greeted by a fabulous set of long legs encased in sheer dark seamed stockings topped by a short blue.
