Mid-morning the next day, I got my gloves and went through the orchard to the back of his house. I had to make sure that he wouldn’t bother us anymo...re, so I entered his house through the French doors. I prayed that he wasn’t waiting for me with a gun, but the house was eerily quiet. I went upstairs and Tony was lying peacefully in bed. His body was cold. I didn’t hang around but stole back to my house.I called the number that I’d found in Tony’s company file for his business partner. After. . and yet... and yet, she was lying naked next to a man who was not Early. A man with whom she'd engaged in a variety of sexual practices - things she's hadn't done with Early, and truth be told, had no intention of doing with Early - period.Early didn't know that she and Jennifer had become lovers. Early didn't know that his wife of five years had decided to reward a man who had literally saved her career by providing him the sexual fantasy of his life. Early didn't know, Early couldn't know,. Although the ARO was a military establishment it was actually run by civilians. The army personnel were posted in for a two year tour of duty, so they were always the new kids on the block as the civilians stayed in post for years. The civilian Office Manager, as she was officially known, was a 50 something, tall, stately, light brown haired woman, who ran the office as efficiently and as rigorously as any Sergeant Major I had come across. Her name was Mrs Lorna Gordon, and no one messed with. It would not be immodest of me to say that I have an internationalreputation as an expert in the field.The reason I felt it necessary to trot out all of my scientificcredentials is that I am about to relate a story which, had it come froma less reputable source, would certainly be dismissed as impossible. Ihope, though, that you will believe that I am a trained and sincereprofessional and be willing to take this seriously.Before I begin my story, I need to say a few words - in layman's.
