The band were just finishing their first set.We found a table in a dark corner, and I got some drinks from the bar."Jon, why is that cigarette smoke i... the corner so blue? Is it the lighting?" It doesn't actually smell like tobacco smoke to me; I think it's probably something else being smoked." Ah."Julie and I chatted easily while we waited for the band to start playing again, and then sat holding hands across the table and enjoying the music together.As the time came for a couple of slow. She went up stairs and I followed her “I’ll wait in the bedroom mom, so I can listen for you” I said“Ok, but will you unfasten my bra for me first, your dad usually does it for me”She turned around and I pushed up the back of her jumper to where I could see the thick bra straps cutting in around her plump body and unclipped it. “Ar that’s better” she sighed “I can manage now” and went in to the bathroom.I listened to the water running and heard her cursing “Are you alright” I asked“I’m stuck. " Okay, come in and I'll call 911." No!" she screamed."No?" I mean don't call 911. Please. I'll explain."He opened the door and let her in."Do you have any alcohol?" she asked."Well, I have some beer. I can't afford the hard stuff. You want adrink?" No. Not that kind. I mean rubbing alcohol." Just a sec." He walked into the bathroom and returned with a plasticbottle of rubbing alcohol.She grabbed it from his hand, opened it, lifted it to her mouth, andswallowed it in one gulp."Hey! You can't. "Yes sir, I am more than ready for that. Should I get my gear now?"Aldren smiled at the boy's enthusiasm. "You have a bit of time. We will be leaving at dusk. Now, back to your practice and then rest for the afternoon. You will be needing it." Mirgan moved back with his troop but now his sword-work was more intense and concentrated for he knew he would need all the skill he possessed to save his mother.Aldren then went to give the orders to have all made ready. This would be the first of many.
