This morning for the first time in a while, he did not have a case of...
1 -- Summer job Pastor Young posted summer jobs in the gathering place hallway, like he did every year the last week of classes. One of the quickest to go was to babysit the Pastor's own son, Robbie, an adult man that, though in his early 30s, is mentally retarded and acts like an adolescent, and thus requires constant supervision. Jessica heard the other...
Yes, it was anger. Lashing out with her feet, the girl attempted to kick her captors as they dragged her back to their spot on the deserted beach.
