In an effort to change the subject and to satisfy my curiosity, I ask, ‘Where are you from? What’s your name?’ ‘The Czech Republic,’ the gir...l informs me crisply. ‘And I’m Lucie.’ She takes a dainty sip of lager, her eyes shifting to regard Sid. ‘Does he ever speak?’ I shrug and pull a face. ‘I’ve never heard him say a word,’ I reply, truthfully. Lucie stares at Sid for a few seconds more. Then she shrugs and focuses on me, asking, ‘What is he, your bodyguard or something?’ She’s delivered it as. When the rider got close I noted his red hair. He would obviously be called red or some variation of it. When he got close enough to speak the horse had been slowed then reined to a stop."So Red, what's got you all in a lather?"

I asked it knowing whatever it was had to do with me and my gun."Rawhiders. ‘Baby, please let me in. I can explain.’ ‘Go away or I’ll call the police.’ The curtains closed back up. ‘Audrey, for God’s sake, let me talk to you.’ Brady continued to knock on the door begging her to talk to him until fifteen minutes later a police cruiser pulled up. They told him to come out to their car to talk.

I suggested counseling, but the mother wanted to rip my head off," William said while shaking his head.Leaning his head back with closed eyes, Cole said, "I'm done with the mother. She'll be over a little later to apologize. I haven't even started with the daughter." You've been there for three days," William commented. He.
