A nice bottle of wine I had, but alas, no one to snuggle and share it with. Oh well. I guess I’d been home about an hour when I heard the faint, but... distinctive sound of spinning tires, which was out of the ordinary here as my house was a good hundred yards off the road. Not that getting stuck on the patchwork blacktop road was strange, just being able to hear the sound was. I went to the front window and spotted a small red sport scar trying to work its way out of the base of my driveway.. We walked in and saw James, her father sitting in the living room. He greeted us and gave Holly a big hug. He shook my hand. “John, my daughter seems to like you, so I am inclined to do so. Just remember, I have a shotgun and know how to use it,” He said jokingly. We all sat in the living room, Holly and I next to each other. We made small talk and watched television. A little while later we ate dinner. “You have any job prospects yet John?” James asked me at dinner. “No, not yet. I just sent. You're save now, and we'll take you home," he started to lead Harley away without so much as a glance at the curious crowd around him. He had done what he had set out to do, find Harley. Now that he had her, he was going to make sure she got home."Stop," Cal was finally shaken from his daze when the General tried to lead Harley out of his arms. "She's not going anywhere," he pulled her back to him."And who are you?" General Wrothing demanding, seeming to notice the other man for the first time.. I should have known that Gracie would never have dropped me in the apple-cart, Grace hired Liz whilst I was away visiting our French operation for a month. Being single again, had the drawback of making me the first guy on the list to be sent — or rather asked to go – all over the place at the drop of a hat. Grace must have decided that I needed someone who could inject a little fun into life in the office when I was there, and Liz was fun to have around the office and really played the dizzy.
