”“Just do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut until the PBA lawyer shows up.” Then he was off doing something else. The drugs and the guns...in the trunk, for instance, would be taken back to the evidence vault at the station in the back of the Cougar.It wasn’t just the sergeants who showed up. A call of ‘Officer down!’ was guaranteed to get all the brass out. Both patrol lieutenants were there, followed by Captain Crowley and Chief Jefferson. Everybody asked if I was all right, but that. I thought back to this morning and realised that if I didn't do as I was told I may well get the same treatment as I had already suffered. I took off my blazer, undid my tie and pulled off my uniform jumper. Next I undid my shirt and then my shoes and socks. Then the shirt and trousers and soon I was left in my underpants and vest.“Stop there” said Mr Henry. “Let's see what we have here. Raise your arms and turn around slowly”. I did as I was told. As I faced away from him he told me to stop. The sounds of large bones breaking and the screams of agonizing pain, cut through the wailing winds and lashing rains.

On a tiny dot of land, no more than the size of a birlinn, a hand clung to a rock. The bloodied fingers dug into the nooks and crevices, clinging in hope. Another hand weakly came up and soon after a desperate struggle,. She seemed disappointed when I didn't know what to put for mylast name and made a note in her gradebook. From a quick glance I couldsee that she also had other comments written down. I wondered what daddywould do if I made bad grades. I wondered what comments Miss Danielle wasmaking about me. At the end of the day Miss Danielle walked up to theside of my playpen and watched me combing the hair of one of my dolls."Tomorrow is my last day with you sissy. Daddy will get your grades whenhe.
