(Note — Due to recent legal entanglements the subject of these interviews will be referred to as Senator X) * Traveling at better than twice the legal speed limit, highway offramp signs could be deciphered, but few other details. I leaned towards the driver extending the butane torch to the glass bowl that contained the green 2000 dollar-an-ounce treasure....
17th Street, Washington D.C. The Lincoln MKS containing the Secretary of Defense Henry Rylings pulls out onto 17th Street heading south from Pennsylvania Avenue. Mike Grines turns the ignition and begins following the car as it turns onto G Street. He had spent the last few hours waiting for Henry Rylings to leave the White House. He followed the Secretary...
Normally I have no problem sleeping in a moving car, but tonight I'm too keyed up to sleep. Sure, the back seat of the Lincoln is comfortable enough, but I just can't seem to find a position that will allow me to relax. Instead, I futilely twist and squirm, trying to find a position that will relieve some of the tension in my back and neck. It'd been a long...
Ken called Brianna the next day and told her that Kathy had come by last night and agreed to buy the house. He purposely did not tell her about the encounter that happened on her arrival. Ken couldn't see what good it would do for him to tell her about the incident, and it might only make things worse. And right now he needed things to go as smoothly as poss...
(A Dylan James Story) This is the follow up to my story Subway Encounter. This is another story of Dylan James as a young man in New York. Dylan was introduced in the One for the Road series. Hope you read the whole series and enjoy. Thanks for the positive feedback. * He noticed her when she first came into the bar; her olive skin contrasting nicely wit...
Jess looked out the window at the mountains surrounding the airport. There was nothing quite like it at home. She lived in the heart of the very flat mid-west and she usually found the jagged peaks enthralling. But not today. Today she was more concerned with what was waiting for her in the terminal. Or, more precisely, who. That was if he was even t...
Edited by Gustavca ***** The morning following of our not-quite orgy was pretty silent. Even the usual early risers lingered in bed for a long time. In the end, as usual, I found myself with Eleanor in the kitchen. Lincoln and Kate woke up early as well and shared a cup of coffee with us. Everybody was clothed normally despite everything that had happened....
It was a standing ovation nearly two decades in the making. When the closing credits of "Death in Heaven" began to roll in the Lincoln Center on December 6, the audience rose to its feet in applause-an amazing accomplishment after three rather violent hours. Ron Lundquist, the film's 73-year-old director, tried to prevent the audience from seeing his tears...
The light moved over the club methodically, swaying to the beat of the music. The dancers couldn't quite be called that, nor simple bystanders. Everyone in the room undulated more than danced, gyrating back and forth to the dark beats that filled the hollow club. A Massive Attack song was heard in the background, low, the bass more audible than the beats. Th...
ONE: A SIMPLE FAVOUR Sleep. Sleep is good. The warm, comfortable, soft cocoon of my own bed wrapping around me like a world apart. No cold. No noise except for the blood in my ears. I don't know how long I'd been like that. It could have been days. Safe in the dark. Silent and whole. But the earthquake blast of the door opening. But the lights exploding o...
