I wondered why the Mexican government had taken such a vested interest in Mexpo’s plights that the President of Mexico would in Tampico for what was... a progress report.Not only was President Martinez there, so was Federal prosecutor Inez along with Mexpo’s Garcia.A twenty minute huddle assigned the pecking order. Presidents go first and peon me last was my theory. It would be an interesting news conference for sure without some data for them to use, and as far as I knew they had none. I soon. A few minutes later Iliafray recovered consciousness and crawled over to Xanaphia leaving a blood trail behind on the floor, however movement was much easier than before with the use of her arms.

I could see the light come on through the pillow case. Suddenly I felt and heard the sheet being cut to ribbons,exposing my nude body. One of the attackers laughed and said, "we caughthim nude!" At this point I was excited, not a little worried and forsome reason, had an erection. They wrapped duct tape round my wrists to keep them secureand pulled me out of bed. More duct tape was wrapped around my upper arms across mynude and hairy chest, tearing some of the hair out. Someone got an idea. "He had a point I thought. It was about a two mile walk to the store and it seemed like it was getting colder by the minute. Oh what the hell. I climbed in to the truck and closed the door. The cab light went off and I could just barely make out his face with the light from the street light."Well were do you need to go?" Um ... Just take me down to Larson's and I can use the phone there." Ok."The whole five minute ride we didn't say anything to each other. Which was weird because I had this.
