unfortunately yer reet, Jim. Look dinnae worry fer now. Yer two find oot all the information yer can aboot
the family and the casino and I will find oot what I can. I promise yer I will give
yer my honest opinion aboot whether it’s a safe place tae go after I know all
the facts. And if I dinnae believe it’s a place he should be travelling too. Then,
I will talk tae yer son if yer like. It may get through tae him more if it
comes from someone else.”
“Thanks Scott, have you ever had any experience or dealings in
Russia?” asked Jim.
“Aye, a wee bit, but Russia is a huge place. Let’s just wait
and see what area we’re talking aboot first.”
“Can I get you a real drink now Scott?” Linda said, as she
got up and walked towards Scott.
“Aye, I’ll have a small one of what yer two are having. Thanks.”
She smiled at Scott, and then turned to her husband.
“Do you want another one too, Jimmy?” she smiled, she
already knew the answer before she asked.
The evening continued with lots of food, drinks and conversation,
about their respective pasts. Scott told them about some of his military
background. Well, the parts he was allowed to talk about. And also about his
time in Baghdad with Britney. They seemed to think Britney was a sweet little
angel, so he never elaborated on why he knew that she wasn’t quite so innocent.
Scott learned that as well as Kyle, the Robinson’s had two daughters. Katy was twenty-six
and Tiffany who was twenty-nine. Scott cringed when he heard name Katy, and explained
that he’d just broken up with a ‘Katie’, although when he found it was spelled
differently, it didn’t quite seem so bad. Jim and Linda’s daughter Katy was
married to a Real Estate Executive called Josh and they lived in San Francisco.
Their other daughter Tiffany lived in Santa Monica. They expected her to visit
sometime the following day, so they told Scott he may get to meet her. It was a
very interesting evening and Scott hadn’t consumed this much alcohol for a
while. So, at about 11:30 p.m., when he admitted that he needed sleep. His
hosts were still going strong with the Vodka, so they agreed to continue their
chat in the morning. Scott made his way up to the stunning guest room; it was
very classy and had an en-suite bathroom. As Scott lay down on his bed, his
head was spinning, he knew he really shouldn’t have drank that much but he
enjoyed his hosts and was having such a good time, he never really realized how
strong the drinks were. Within a few minutes, he was sound asleep.
Chapter 6
The room was quiet and dark. Scott was very comfortable lying
in his bed, and there was an abundance of white, fluffy pillows. Unexpectedly,
he heard the door to his room creak as if it slowly opened. He turned towards
it and saw the unmistakable outline of a shapely woman wearing a dress, as she
walked into his room. The light from outside the door lit up the room enough
for him to make out her shape and see that she was wearing high heels, which clicked
on the hard wood floor. She carried a small tray. He could not make out her
face though, what was happening? He thought.
“Hello Scotty. I’m your nurse and I’ll be taking care of you
today. Is there anything I can get for you now, before I take your temperature?”
she asked, as she stepped towards the table on the opposite side of the room to
the bed.
Scott’s head was spinning. He didn’t feel well and couldn’t speak.
“No? Oh, you don’t look well,” she added.
He watched as she placed the tray on the table and walked crisply,
hips swaying, towards him. She bent over, her hand reached for Scott’s forehead,
cool, smooth fingers, soft palms. Her white dress buttoned down the front, the
top two were open. He enjoyed a full view of her cleavage. He still couldn’t
make out her face though. He was confused.
“Scotty, you are feverish!
