I introduced the men without explaining Saul why I had chosen Karl; that was my new friend’s name. But he gave me a nice glance, telling me that my ...choice was right.As the conversation flowed easily so did the margarita shots giving me the confidence to initiate what both Saul and me knew was the reason we were here. Whilst we had been chatting my hand had been resting at the top of Karl’s thigh but now I leant forward and slowly ran my hand up his firm leg, slowly caressing his crotch. I felt. The one-armed guy finally caught his breath and said, "Jesus, thankyou, guys. Those bastards was gonna kill me." "What'd you do to them?" I asked. "Nothing," he said, sounding hurt. "Well, maybe one thing.We was playing Ming, and I ended up with all their money. They said I was cheating,which is a pretty fool thing to say about a man with one arm." I asked him what Ming was. He said it was some kind of Chinese board gamethat's popular in those parts. He said he learned it from his pappy. . "I can only guess how it is from the female side. Butisn't there also an emotional component?" You mean ..." she stared into my eyes, "... doesn't love equal more thansex?" I nodded."Yes," she answered her own question. "Eventually I'll settle down withone person. That's the way our species works. We're monogamous. How will Iknow who the right person is unless I know more about the others? SomedayI may want to get pregnant and I have to know I can trust the father."If there'd been whiskey in. .. calm down... just hang tight until I can get some answers. I'll call Global... they might need to confirm with you they can talk to me... so stay by the phone. You can just tell them I've been hired to represent you... all right?" Okay." If I don't get the information from Global, then I'll call some folks I know at State Department who can tell me who I might call at the US Embassy in Switzerland." Thanks so much Teri... we didn't know who else to call. We know how much you care about Dad.
