One group was to go after the bullies while the other group stayed behind to protect the village and, most particularly, the children.There were sever...al adults too old to take an active part in the fighting, so we wound up with 14 men and 14 women in the attackers and the same number to defend the village. I had AI furnish each person with a staff about two meters long. One end of the staff had a metal blade about 15 cm long with a sharp point. The other end of the staff had a metal knob. After returning to the family we set off for the second meeting – Mrs Jones. Joan, Brad and Shelly were eager to know what had happened after Joan and Brad had left the room. I knew there wasn’t a lot of time and certain things were not appropriate to discuss, given our location, so I said I’d let them know more on the way home. I did though provide some reassurance that the discussions had been enlightening and would be to our family benefit and I left it at that.I realised when we got to Mrs. I sat there and suddenly I was surrounded by Christine, carrying her bags, then Claire And Katie. "We've been to your house then second guessed you'd be here. Cost a fucking fiver in the taxi !“ Christine said ”and I'm not leaving until Ok“ ”Until when" I asked but Chris had wandered to the bar.She came back with four bottles of house wine and four glasses. “Finish that and then drink this and take this” Another pill. I needed one ! Mr Floppy and getting more pissed by the second but I wasn't. “I don’t know why you’re so down on him. He’s a good guy. I mean you like to pay exorbitant taxes!” said Ian.“No, but what he was about didn’t feel right,” she said. “Nothing’s that easy that isn’t illegal. Investing and hoping for a good return, okay. But...”“Relax, he’s not part of us,” he said.“Good, good,” she said. “Ian, I have a request, a favor to ask. Okay?” Her hearer wrinkled his brow.“Your ex?” he said.“I want him to meet you. He is Tina’s dad in spite of his fears that she might.
