"Some two hours later, Pamina was completely bemused to be bundled into an abaya and taken some distance in a closed van, only find herself in the mos...t opulent surroundings she had ever seen. She was much impressed when the Chief Eunuch confirmed that this was indeed the harem of His Magnificence, the Emir Mahmoud Abdullah, may he live for ever, situated in the Golden Palace. Since the Emir had said nothing of what was to be done with her, or why she was there, the Chief Eunuch had her prepared. He certainly was waiting, still in the booth and watching Luke and me intently, even with Meg talking his ear off. I sent him a small wave and then looked at Luke again. "Are you okay if we take off a little early?" I asked, and Luke's smile turned mischievous."You have other plans?" I don't know yet," I admitted."Go ahead. I'll see you later?" Yeah."I parted with Luke, but he wasn't alone for long. A moment later, Angela was cutting in. He probably wasted no time in asking her why Mary was. "Fuck" I growled as I stood at the window looking down at the city getting a huge shower. About 5' o'clock, with the Cubs game canceled, I called Woodard. "Hey, man, you working tonight?" "Actually, I just got off the morning shift. Only three arrests, even the hookers don't come out." "Listen, I was thinking...you want to go to the Pink Kitty?" "The Pink Kitty? Isn't that the place where you can meet transgirls that might be hookers?" I sighed. "Dude, not as cops. We're not on the job. I want. Technology has taken over my life and you have taken over my heart. I reach out to you from a half a world away. I can’t tell you how badly I want to show and give you pleasure, but your naiveté and strict background provide a strong barrier. I must remind myself that you are only 23 and I am old enough to have cradled you in my arms. I need to question if I’ve grown into a dirty old woman or someone who has just succumbed to her lust for a much younger man. Or is that one of the same? Who.
