Then He took a step, and then faced me… I kept my eyes on Him, studying His every movement. He held out the leash, and said, “Hold this for me.” I took the leash, careful not to let any part of it touch the ground, holding it tenderly… Keeping my eyes still on His, watching His every body movement in my peripheral. Once we were in Brad's room I sat on the corner of Brad's bed as Brad broke out the Jack, and started his story."So my last sexual encounter happened right here in this room gentlemen," Brad said a cocky confidence in his voice. "This morning I had hungry cocksucker in my room begging to swallow my load." I was horrified knowing that Brad was talking about me. He was calling me a cocksucker to my face although nobody else in the room knew it was me."Bullshit Brad, your wife isn't here, unless. These mountains started where the last civilized settlements ended. If you go east, you find the small towns, which then come to an end.

Julie looked at us with a stunned expression on herface and then collapsed onto the couch.

As we rang for the elevator, I remembered that there were some shoesleft in the room where I woke. I mentioned this to Sal.He sprinted down the hallway, calling over.
