“Jack, where are you? What am I going to do now?” I asked helplessly without thinking that the dog would not be able to answer. I went to move ...but suddenly felt a human hand on my back pushing me into the tree face first. I started to panic trying to turn to see who it was and felt a naked body slide directly behind me. But this was different! I felt the warmth of the man’s skin against me and soft lips brushing a kiss over the nape of my neck. I relaxed slightly, my body being more. I smiled down at her and she smiled back. We got to talking about school and things. My parents and unofficially adopted Alyssa once we had become friends. Her parents had died her senior year of high school and she had been on her own since. So my parents took it upon themselves to see that the fortune she had been allotted wasn’t going to waste, in other words they kept a close eye on her and her grades. Eventually the conversation turned away from that and she was left to her own thoughts. A. But I also realized she would be a great candidate. “Or course I understand. I will support you in any way that I can.”“Thank you. And second, what happened with the three of us could be a huge problem in my public life. In fact, if any details of it became public it would destroy the campaign. I won’t deny it happened, and if ever confronted I will tell the truth. But if the two of you would not mention it, I would forever be indebted to you.”Both Amy and I looked at each other. No one spoke. "It is a light gray or white convertible, a Chevy rental," Martinez said. "I just got a flash when she was talking about the car."License plate? Anything else to ID it? I prompted him, in case something else I said would prompt another flash."No, nothing." I've got something better, Io," I said. "Martinez just found the make and model of the car. A light gray or white Chevy convertible ... By the way, did you hear anything of what he just said?" No, nothing."That was a strange coincidence..
