I looked down as my sodden clothes dripped onto the leather seats, “I tend to use Mari, these days… Ben and I’m so sorry for making a mess of yo...ur car.” It felt strange using his first name; I must have been eighteen the last time I spoke to him, just before I went off to university and I briefly flicked back to that young mind-set and remembered the crush I had on him.I bit my lip as one of the few parts of my body that had been dry now moistened.“Don’t worry about it, Mari, this is just for. When we are busy doing this, one or two people with knifes could kill all of my team." Who would do that? You are protecting our city." The Church, the King, even Mantoya. It's possible that even you may do this but I think that you're the least likely."Artlam stared at me with anger then it eventually softened to the realisation that I hadn't stretched the truth. "I can see this from your viewpoint. If you are telling me this, you must have some trust in me." I have a lot of trust but when. I was trudging slowly back to the set where Craig still lay totally nude and nowsnoring loudly when Harry placed his hand on my elbow and steered me back to thechair. He explained that we would have to do `a little more' now. What could Ido? I'd already said that I would, so I sat down and cooperated.More makeup was applied, this time Harry did his best to make me look like agirl. I wondered where he learned to apply makeup so well but figured that hemust have picked it up doing photo. Toby and Amy arrived just before the main group and took up residence in the control room.Tina deliberately waited until Amy and Toby were packing up at the diner to tell Alonzo, "I think I ought to see the clubhouse." There was more to it than that -- she'd settled down and thought things over and decided that she would probably want to let her hair down -- but she wanted a little quality time with Alonzo first. It wouldn't do for her to put herself out there and get wild if she and Alonzo.
