"I've never seen this before," Walter said, curious."It's new. I spent all last week designing and building it. Your going to love it."Then he had Wal...ter set down on in, each leg straddling either side of the padded bench."Now, lean against the backrest." Walter did as he was told. As he did, Dominique fastened him to it with two wide, black nylon straps with cinch buckles. Then he secured each of Walter's ankles to a different part of the bench. He did the same with either wrists. Now Walter. Trying to conceal his excitement, Brad sheepishly said hello. I paid my tab and the three of us walked toward the exit. Glancing over my right shoulder, I did notice that the guy in the suit still was focused on Jenny and probably lamenting about what could have been. Jenny and I walked side by side across the parking lot with Brad right on her heels. Jenny instructed him to get into the front passenger seat as she went around to her driver’s seat, positioned as she would be for this,. As she sat, it was hard to not notice her red lips, especially remembering that comment, ‘I like to kiss.’ No, it hadn’t just been excitement clouding my judgment! If anything, she was even prettier.She introduced her boyfriend, Connor. We shook hands, “Robert, or Bob, either one,” I said.Pauli sat across the table from me. God, she was everything I remembered from that initial brief exchange and more. When she smiled at me, I nearly melted into a puddle of muck on the floor. All I could think. She wondered what some were there for? Were they drugdealers? Were they car thieves? Did they just forget to pay a parkingticket? Regardless in 24 hours they'd be brought before a judge, if hedetermined that they could potentially be guilty, they would be regardedas 'potential terrorists' and be stripped of all there rights as acitizen, then they could do whatever they wanted to prove their guilt.That's what really scared Eileen, what if Eric was considered 'probablyguilty' how would they.
