"He could help you with your... problem at work."Dad looked thoughtful. "You know, he probably could. That's a good thought." What problem?" I asked c...uriously.Dad gave a little grimace of distaste. "I haven't been promoted in two years, and have barely received raises to keep up with inflation." Why?" I asked."For a while I thought it was just bad luck. But I've changed my mind. The truth is, my boss doesn't like me. He doesn't want me to be promoted. I've found out that he's actually moved. The drive from the airport into the city was short only about 4 kilometers and the traffic seemed to flow nicely. Kristel was an excellent driver, something Bill would never have expected from one so young. They skirted Old Town and drove until Bill was sure they must be in the country again. Finally the car slowed and then pulled into the driveway next to an older looking two-story residence. Kristel looked at Bill and smiled. The small yard was bright and cheerful with miniature flower beds. The combatants left for the site of battle, only Diana and Heracles being left behind. Heracles tried joining the others, only to be stopped by vines wrapped around his legs. With a grunt of anger, he grabbed his sword and swiftly severed the tethers from his legs. Running to join them, Heracles growled when Hera laughed and pointed in his direction. Jeff could see this might be a fun journey.When they finally reached the base of the mountain where the battle was to take place, Jeff began. "You said he rescued you," I countered."Yes, he did," she responded. "He got me away from the bad influences, but he didn't remove the feelings. He just catered to them in a safe and protected way."I thought about that, and I said, "Sort of like Jeff is doing?" Very much like Jeff is doing," she said. "That is why I needed to talk to him. I needed to see if he was being safe and protecting. I think he is, so I encouraged him to continue." So what will I do after the year is up and I don't have.
