entail showing him what her own true feelings were. Pics swinger she thought she would have
to pin her heart to her sleeve, pics swinger where he could see it. Unfortunately, Harold
would
be able to see it, too. So that was out . . . but pics swinger only for the time being.
She thought she would have to do it soon, Harold or no Harold. She could only
protect him so long. Then he pics swinger would have to know . . . and pics swinger either accept or not
accept. She was afraid Harold might opt for the second choice. A decision like
that could lead to something horrible. They were, after all, carrying a lot of
shooting irons.
She was mulling these thoughts over when they swept around a curve and saw a
large pics swinger housetrailer overturned m the middle of the road, blocking it from one end
to the other. Its pink pics swinger corrugated side still glistened with last night's pics swinger rain.
This was surprising enough, but there was more-three cars, all station wagons,
pics swinger and a big auto-wrecker were parked along the sides of the road. There were
people pics swinger standing around, too, at least a dozen of them.
Fran was so surprised she braked too suddenly. The Honda pics swinger she pics swinger was riding
skidded on the wet road, and almost dumped her before she was able to get it
under control. Then all pics swinger four of them had stopped, more or less in a line which
crossed the road, blinking and more pics swinger than a little stunned at the sight of so
many people who pics swinger were still alive.
"Okay, dismount," one of the men said. He was tall, sandy-bearded, and wearing
dark sunglasses. Fran timetraveled pics swinger for a moment inside her head, back to the
Maine Turnpike and being hauled down by a state trooper for speeding.
Next pics swinger he'll ask to see our drivers' licenses, Fran thought. But this was no
pics swinger lone pics swinger State Trooper, bagging speeders and writing tickets. There were four men
here, three of them standing behind the sandy-bearded man in a short skirmish
line. The rest were all pics swinger women. At pics swinger least eight of them. They looked pale and
scared, clustered pics swinger around the parked station wagons in little groups.
The sandy-bearded man was carrying pics swinger a pistol. The men behind him all had
rifles. Two of them were wearing bits and pieces of army kit.
Dismount, pics swinger goddam you," the
bearded man pics swinger said, and one of the men behind him
levered a round into the breech of his rifle. It was a loud,
bitterly imperative
sound in the misty morning air.
Glen and Harold looked puzzled and apprehensive. That, and no more. They're
sitting ducks, Frannie thought with pics swinger rising panic. She did not fully understand
the situation herself
