I met her with a touch, I then moved a hand to her neck and stroked it. Put a hand to the pup and urged it between her legs. She bent her head, lick...ed the top, and leaned to me for another touch. What occurred to me was that she was accepting me as the dominant female.Bo nudged me and I knew it was time to leave. It wasn’t going to get any warmer and we had a little trek to get back to the cave. I stood, kicked snow over the fire, put the backpack on, then the bear skin coat, and picked up. John went over to the track and field area, hewas going to try getting back on the team, meanwhile Dan was walking home,it was not too far, and would help him lose weight. Tracey was drivinghome to get to his wife, the only reason he kept such a shitty job in thefirst place. With Cathy and her gang finally gone Kelly walked over to the area behindthe gym to get a quick smoke before she headed home keeping an eye out forSafety Patrol Vic, the newest goon they had somehow gained.The last two. He just stared off into space with his hands at his sides for a long time before he reached back to rub at the skin.“Hey, don’t rub it,” Rocko said. “I want you to feel it for a long time. I catch you rubbing your ass I’m going to take you back over my knee.”It was the only warning Brad needed because he promptly put his hands back at his side and raised his head a little to show he could deal with it. That was when the first strike happened and it caught me off guard. I didn’t even register it. It would likely be forty rounds of pistol ammo while only half as much for rifle ammo.The reason that it would be a much more dangerous path is that on our way to Retsas we went through a small suburb, while the place we needed to go was in a dense industrial center. One of the larger buildings was a foundry where metals were cast into molds, meaning that it was a good bet that we would find ingots of brass there.The job wasn’t one that just one group could claim and do, either. Anyone who saw.
