I thanked the neighbor and led the children to our car and their mother. That was when they broke down into tears about their grandmother. I had the n...me of the hospital where Helen had been taken, so I drove there somewhat less frantically than I had to get to our house. We arrived soon enough, but I was the only one allowed in to see Helen. The poor woman was awash in IVs (Intravenous tubes) and oxygen. She was still alive, but unconscious. The nurse assured me that I would be notified as. No stockings or tights. Bearing in mind, it was November, so quite cold. But, he was insistent and, being drawn to his precise manner, I went along with his request.I arrived on time. Would I dare be late !!He led me into the kitchen. No polite greeting. Just taking my arm, firmly, led me through the door. Once in the kitchen, he positioned me in the middle of the room and took a couple of paces away from me. He told me to kick off my shoes. The stone floor was ever so cold on my feet. He could. "Can you help me or not?" Sure, we can investigate. But if it's ultimately a theft on this scale, you'll have to consider calling the police!" she replies sternly.She can tell by the look on his face that he is not satisfied with this. Nevertheless he nods."When the time comes, I will think about it. Will you accept the assignment?" First a few questions. Do you have a surveillance camera in your store?He shakes his head."Do you mind if we install one? Just until our investigation is. We can't do ponies here but we can try some of the other stuff. I want to try as much as we can." So, it's off to the shop for specialist toys first thing?" Mmmm. Chastity belts and stuff like that." So one of us is going to be locked up for the day and the other will be fucking strangers?"June laughed. "You make it sound so technical. One of us will be driven wild with frustration and at the same time be crazy happy that the other one is being totally satisfied. Does that sound better?"Dan.
