Tonight is only Wednesday, and I’m here through Sunday before I head home for the winter break. I have some things to take care of the next few days... but how about we get together on Saturday night again. Somewhere a bit more quiet, maybe for dinner.” “I’d like that,” I said, as I smiled at Shoshana. “No plans. I like to be spontaneous. Let’s just meet up. Same place. Same time. 7:00 Saturday.” “It’s a date,” I said, as she led me to the door, and we walked out into the cold night air. “And. "I already know about your missing family. My questions have to do with the fire and their disappearance. Now, please, Mr. Setton..." and she held her hand out to the office."I'll be right back, " I thought to my girls, and stepped through.The officer was average height, maybe five-seven. However, the look in her brown eyes was stern, very cool. She had her hat off, her strawberry-blond hair pulled back in a tight, low bun. The uniform gave her a boyish figure but I could tell that was just due. Roberta too was scheduled to pick me up at 6:30 that evening, and I was ready when she showed up. As with the other two girls, Roberta had her own car, and that made things a bit easier for both of us. We went to dinner in a small Greek restaurant where Roberta drank a little too much ouzo wine. Since she was driving, we had to wait until she had consumed enough coffee to get rid of the tipsiness so that she could drive. That made it impossible for us to take in a movie, but I certainly didn't. What do you think you’re going to hold over Sophie’s head now?” I asked.“Sophie? You know I love you, right?” Brittany whimpered.“Oh, yes, baby girl. And you know I’m going to spank your bare bottom now, right?”“You are?”“You’re the age of consent now, Britt. Do you consent or not?” I laughed.“To getting spanked?”“Everything comes together. All or nothing.”“Is that fair?”“What kind of a little brat would ask a question like that?”“I ... guess ... I consent.”We moved quickly. I sat on the bed.
