I simply didn't want to admit it to her. Sheseemed content to let me stew in my silent torment.Finally, I couldn't stand the silence. "Yes," I said ...eekly."Yes what?" she probed.I begged for sympathy with my eyes. None was forthcoming. She wantedme to say the words. If I was to hope for an answer, I had to say thewords."Would you have fucked Rex if he wanted you to?" I asked.Satisfied that I'd said the words, she was, nonetheless, not throughwith me yet."Do you think that is why he came to. I gave up. Gazing at the floor I noticed some trails in it. I followed them with my gaze. The trails started right in front of me and went in two straight lines all the way to the table in the other end. It was obvious to me then that the disgusting creature would have a part in all this. Whatever this was. Only when I had followed the trails all the way to the table did I notice that the latter had small wheels on all four legs that fit in the trails. The table was obviously meant to be moved.. The phone twittered. The beautiful Black waited, as she always did for the answering machine. After its brief message, her friend Marcy's voice came on the line."Coleen, if you're there please pick up. I have something important I want to talk over with you."The older woman picked up the small portable receiver."Marcy, I'm here. What's so important?" Could I come over?" Sure, honey. Give me ten minutes to get dressed."Marcy did not have far to walk. The Williams' house was only a few doors down. I knew something bad was going to happen. I just knew it.I dialed Carol's number on the cell phone... no answer. I left a message to call me on my cellular as soon as she got this message. I dialed home... no answer. I left the same message Where the hell were they? I sat there for a while trying to shake the feeling but it just got worse. I decided to go ahead and get Carol and head back home immediately. If Peggy was going to the party behind my back I wanted to know. I knew I could ask Doug.
