Once in his study I commented, “I guess this is the time we discuss the pre-nup. Just give it to me. I have no problem with whatever you want.” Jonathan laughed. “I did mention the idea to Lucille—several times--but she turned me down flat. She told me that you had the most integrity of anyone she had ever met and she also told me that you weren’t at all interested in her money.” “Well, she’s right on the last part. Money has never been a big issue for me. If I had a lot I’d probably give most of it away to those who really need it.” Jonathan laughed again. “That’s exactly what Lucille told me. You know, Matt…when you first asked me for Lucille’s hand I was concerned about how quickly everything had occurred, but then as I got to know you and I could see how you and Lucille interact all those concerns evaporated. I think you two are very well matched. No, what I wanted to talk with you about is the growing drug problem. I know the superintendent of schools and the Skirts high school principal very well from Rotary and they tell me that they’ve had more problems in the past month than in all our previous years combined. Can you do anything about it?” “All I say at this point is ‘no comment.’ I doubt that there is an investigation underway by the city police at this time, but I’m making it a priority as soon as I can meet with the detectives.” Apparently, that satisfied him because a minute later we were back talking and mingling. Lucy greeted me with a questioning look that disappeared when I took her into my arms for a long lingering kiss. She whispered, “I love you,” when she finally broke it. Daryl and I felt that we were much more at home by the end of the following week and I had promoted one of the patrolmen to lieutenant. He had stopped in just before end of shift that first day, knocking on the doorframe. “Chief, may I have a word?” “Of course, Officer—I had to pause to read his name on the shirt—Officer Powell. What can I do for you?” “It’s more of what you’ve already done. From where I stand you’ve taken two major steps in the right direction already by getting rid of Haynes and easing Chief Wilson out. Wilson should have retired years ago. The force has been a joke thanks to him and Haynes represented the very worst I’ve ever seen in a police officer. He’s lazy and asian I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him sleeping on duty a couple of times plus he brags all the time about all the free meals he takes from our restaurants.” “Thanks for the compliments. I japanese agree completely. Haynes is a good example of addition through subtraction. What do the men think about the new standards?” “Those of us who are serious think they’re long overdue. Those who think that being a police officer just means riding aimlessly in an air conditioned car all day are concerned about their gravy train ending, but they’ll be no loss. They’re not as bad as Haynes or Parsons, but they’re far from ideal.” We shook hands and he left. I spoke to the sergeant on the way out. We’ll just have to wait until we get home, or into the car.” “You and I have some unfinished business japanese after what Jean Pierre and Kerri told me about his visit to your place. She smiled “Well, I Skirts met your Father. Ellie: "But i'm not g-" Surprisingly, getting her fist out was nearly as hard as getting it in. It seemed that Hermione's opening had clamped down around her wrist and she had the same resistance to her knuckles trying to get out. He’s definitely a lot stronger than me. I continue to enjoy everything I can and wait for the inevitable. I want everyone downstairs at 6 AM. But before Marvin could speak, Leroy asian intervened, “Wait, I think the racist pig sucked enough cock for today”. Sometimes Chris would join us, but he would never look my way. It wouldn’t make a difference. Ryan later told me that Roger had said that Kate had taken a leaf out of my book and they’d all had to get used to Kate wandering around without any clothes on. Maybe if I sit on the baby table and spread my legs?" she replied thoughtfully. "Ah, shut it!"
