She had only been in Mexico for a day now, and her skin, which had been left pale by the mid-western winter, was only just beginning to tan. By the time Scott returned, she wanted to be all "golden" for him. That was his pet name for her: "golden". She wanted to surprise him when he got back; making the name a reality. The sun beat down... The thought of her fiance's absence cast a cloud over her feeling of well-being. Sandra and Scott had become engaged just over two months ago, and planned on getting married as soon as he got his business up and running. She wanted to make it sooner, but he was so busy these days, getting things set up. He had such big plans... Well, it was difficult, but if everything worked out for him in Mexico City over the next four or five days, his business would be off to a flying start. 'You deserve the best,' he always told her, 'and I'm going to make sure you have it.' Sandra sighed. He was always so worried about money. Still, if things worked out as he planned, they'd be very wealthy. Extremely wealthy. Sandra, whose family had died when she was only six and who had been raised, poor, in an orphanage, couldn't help but look forward to that. All her life, she had envied people with money. The style... the confidence... She had always wished that she could be like them one day. And now, with Scott, that dream was coming true. "If you don't turn over, you'll burn on the front." Startled from her thoughts, Sandra shielded her eyes from the sun and looked upwards from where she lay. The speaker was a woman. She appeared to be somewhere in her mid-twenties - about the same age as Sandra; slender and long-legged, with small, firm breasts. Sandra sat up in order to get a better look at the woman. Without the sun in her eyes, Sandra saw that the other woman had an attractive, if not beautiful face, with a large, generous mouth and wide, blue eyes. Her face was nicely set off with short, blonde hair, swept over her forehead in a boyish wave. She looked vaguely familiar, but Sandra couldn't place her. "I'm sorry." The woman smiled. "I didn't mean to embarrass you. You seemed to be falling asleep in the sun. Getting burned to a crisp is a bad way to start a vacation." "Uhmm... it's OK. I, uh..." Sandra immediately felt tongue- tied and shy. From the expensive cut of her swimsuit and the confident tone of her voice, the woman was obviously one of those rich, beautiful types Sandra had just been thinking about. She always felt like such a bumpkin around such people. The woman just laughed, though, ignoring Sandra's stutter, and held out her hand. "My name is Theresa," she offered. "'Terry' to my friends." Sandra blushed. She pushed herself to her feet and took the hand. "Sandra," she offered, shyly. The two women shook hands. "Why don't you join me in the bar," Terry suggested, smiling. "You look like you've had enough sun for a while." Sandra couldn't help but return the smile; her face *was* beginning to feel a bit sore. She wanted to be brown for Scott; not red. "Sure," she answered. "That sounds great." Terry nodded at this acceptance. "Shall we invite your fiance to join us?" Sandra was startled for a moment. "How did you..." Terry laughed and pointed to Sandra's hand. Of course. The ring. Sandra blushed again. "No," she said, smiling ruefully. "Scott's in Mexico City for the next few days. Business." Terry shook her head as she put her hand on her new friend's shoulder to guide her back into the hotel. "Men," she chuckled. ***** Men. The bar was packed. Men... mostly, with only the occasional woman, someone's lover, mistress, tourist women out for a wild time; pretty much what one would expect in a place like this. Despite the fact that the bar was on the grounds of a fairly popular beach resort in Mexico, it was a smoky, poorly lit place. Except for the catwalk, of course, where the dancers bumped and ground their way through a seemingly endless sequence of cheap strip teases and explicit sexual acts. All to the drunken jeers of the men. The strippers/waitresses were white girls. Mostly were fairly young. All beautiful. And, what their acts seemed to lack in polish, they made up for with the half-hidden sense of panic and fear in their eyes. The men sensed it, and it drove them wild. Even as the bar sluts shook their tits and wiggled their asses under the hot lights, bright red lips pursed in more-or-less successful simulations of lust, their eyes would stray over to the corner of the room where *he* stood. Even as they filtered through the room in whatever skimpy costume assigned to them that night, gathering drink orders and crude propositions, their eyes would stray to that corner of the room. And often, after a brief conversation with a customer, a conversation during which the girl would smile and do her best to act seductive and eager, the man would stand and the girl would lead him over to where the man - Pedro - stood. And, after a certain amount of money had changed hands, the girl would take the man through a curtained doorway into a back room... ***** First one drink. Then two; then three... Over the course of the afternoon and then into the evening, Sandra and Terry chatted happily with each other. Sandra eventually got over her shyness, and, with the aid of a few drinks, was soon telling her new friend her life story. Sandra was flattered that the other woman was so interested. In fact, Terry seemed to be hanging on every word, listening intently and always ready with a question or prompt whenever Sandra began to run down. In a way, it was this interest that drew Sandra out. The fact that a woman as obviously experienced - perhaps "worldly" was a better word - as Terry was so interested in her life gave Sandra the courage to talk freely. And so, Terry listened patiently while Sandra recounted her upbringing in the small American town of Easton, Illinois. About how her parents had been killed in a car accident when she was only six; about how she had no family and had been raised in an orphanage; about how she had worked her way through college; and, finally, about how she had met Scott. Scott. Her fiance. About how Scott was now in Mexico City, trying to take advantage of NAFTA and put together a business deal which, if it closed, would make him a very rich man. Sandra had wanted to get married before the trip - *she* didn't care about the money (well, not much anyway) - but Scott was kind of old fashioned. He wanted to *know* that he would be able to support a family. If Sandra hadn't been drinking, or if she hadn't been so flattered by all the attention, she might have noticed that her new friend was as reticent about her own background as she was forthcoming about her's. She might have noticed that the few bits of information the other girl did give out - that she was born in raised in Bakerville, California; that she had come down to Mexico on vacation and met a handsome, young Mexican with whom she was "unofficially" engaged - were relatively vague and uninformative. No details; just hints and shadows. She didn't notice, though, and the two girls laughed and talked into the night. ***** The girl hustled along as best she could in the high-heeled cowboy boots, her firm, round ass wiggling invitingly beneath the tight, fake-buckskin mini-skirt. A tiny cowboy hat sat on top of her thick, shoulder length brown hair, and a pair of pasties shaped like big stars - with the word "Sheriff" on them - stuck on her nipples completed her costume. Other than the pasties, her firm breasts hung free, bobbing and swinging as she walked. A wide, inviting smile creased her pretty face as she took orders, all the time joking and flirting with the customers. It was extremely busy in the bar, and, having finished her nightly stint on the catwalk, she was fully occupied taking orders and serving drinks, all the while trying to avoid the slaps and pinches that threatened to turn her tits and ass black and blue. And all the time smiling... joking... flirting... Twisting away from a particularly vicious grab at her bouncing tits - careful, as always, to keep a smile on her face; didn't want any complaints reaching Pedro's ears - she backed into a table. There were three men and two women sitting there: two couples and a friend. One of the men, the one who was not part of a couple, snaked a hairy arm around her waist and pulled her close, while his other hand stroked her ass through the mini- skirt. She tried to ignore him as she took orders, but he jerked her right up against him, slipped his hand down the front of her mini-skirt and pushed a finger into her pussy. It was still wet with the juices of the man she had fucked only fifteen minutes earlier. The guy commented on this as he fingered her. The rest of the table, including the two women, watched with amusement as she squirmed in his grip, still keeping the smile plastered on her face, trying to look like she was flirting, rather than trying to escape. Wouldn't do to let any complaints reach... "Hey..." The man slurred his words. He was obviously drunk, and playing up to his friends. "Ya know wha' these slu's like?" The man forced a second rough finger up her sopping pussy. "What?" giggled one of the girls. "Yeah," the other girl laughed, putting her arm around her boyfriend. "Show us." The cowgirl swallowed uneasily, still smiling as the man; she strained to pull away, but didn't actively fight. It wasn't allowed. "OK." The man leaned forward. "Wash..." Even drunk, he was much stronger than the cowgirl. Using the two fingers in her pussy as a handle, he forced the girl to her knees and then pulled her under the table. Once she was completely under, he slipped his fingers out from inside her and used them to undo his pants while the other hand kept a firm grip in her hair. "C'mon, honey," he slurred. "Give it a li'l suck." "I... I can't," the girl whined, the smile gone from her pretty face. "N-not here. Pedro will..." "Sure y'can," the man told her. "I'll pay." He gripped his cock and rubbed it against her face and lips. She was completely under the table now, and the other people had shifted their position so that she was surrounded. She couldn't be seen from the bar, so no one came to her aid when the man forced her mouth onto his cock. Helplessly, she began to suck it, bobbing her lips down on his dripping cock. "Jimmy," came a female voice from above, "are you sure we won't get into..." "Don' worry," the man. "Th' sluts lov't." The girl felt a foot on her ass. "This *is* kind of fun," came another female voice from above. The foot ran along her ass and then, twisting sideways, slid in between her legs. If her mouth hadn't been full of cock, the cowgirl would have screamed as she felt the toes sliding underneath her mini-skirt and into her pussy. She wasn't wearing panties. Anxious to finish before things got worse, the girl sucked as hard and as skilfully as she could, slurping and licking at the man's prick while fondling his balls with her fingers as he kept his hand tightly bunched in her hair. The toes penetrated deeper and deeper, until it felt as though the woman had inserted half her foot into the girl's pussy before the man finally came, spurting jets of hot, sticky cum down her throat. Only after she had swallowed it all down and then licked his cock clean did the man release his grip on her hair and allow her to crawl out from under the table. The bar was so crowded and dark, no one even noticed as she straightened her little cowboy hat, wiped the cum from her lips, and hurried off to fill the drink orders. Still smiling... ***** Sandra and Terry quickly became inseparable. They spent their days lounging around the pool together, or wandering along the beach into the resort town. Terry's skin had at first been much darker than her new friend's, but Sandra tanned quickly and the two girls were soon equally brown. In fact, Terry had made a contest of it: who could tan the fastest. Sandra won. Early evenings were spent in expensive restaurants. Sandra had, at first, balked at the prices, but Terry had just laughed, telling her friend to "get used to it". She seemed confident that Scott would succeed. On the first night, Sandra tried to pay for half the meal, but the other girl quickly pulled out some sort of Gold Card and sent the suddenly-even-more-obsequious waiter scurrying away with it to total the bill. "I can't let you do that," Sandra protested, impressed. "Oh, don't worry about it," Terry told her. "Once that deal comes through for Scott, you can take me out." Sandra smiled. "Deal." After dinner, Terry usually insisted on going out to some fancy nightclub for dancing. She seemed to know them all and, more than that, be known at them all. Once again, Sandra had tried to protest - too expensive; nothing to wear; don't know anyone - but the other girl brushed off all attempts at refusal. She just pulled out the Gold Card, and, when clothing became an issue, she loaned Sandra whatever she needed. Sandra, overwhelmed by the attention, capitulated, and let the other girl take the lead. And so, each night was spent at a different resort 'hot spot'. For Sandra, the nights became a blur of loud music, flashing lights and too much alcohol. Usually, by the time they got to the clubs, the two girls had shared a bottle of wine, a cocktail or two and a special coffee. Sandra was unused to alcohol, and was usually pleasantly buzzed by the time dinner was over. Hence, she offered little protest when her friend dressed her up in expensive clothing and pulled her along to whatever club struck her fancy. And, of course, there was the dancing. Terry seemed determined that Sandra was to have a good time at the clubs. She would make certain that her friend had a new drink in her hand whenever the old one was finished. As well, she was constantly finding partners for her friend to dance with. At first, Sandra felt a little guilty; Scott was away working hard in Mexico City while she was at the resort dancing with strange men. But, after a while, she began to enjoy it. Even the flirting that inevitably accompanied the activity on the dance floor. Nothing ever came of it, though. Just a lot of fun. If she had been watching, Sandra might have noticed that Terry never joined in the dancing. At the end of each evening, usually the small hours of the morning, Terry would take her friend back to her hotel. Sandra, exhausted and more than a little drunk, would collapse giggling into bed and quickly fall asleep. This pattern continued for the four days that Scott was in Mexico City. ***** "Hey babe," the man cried, laughing, "have a seat." He grabbed her shoulder and pulled so that she fell back onto his lap, her cowboy hat sliding off her head and hanging by the chin strap. A look of panic crossed the girl's pretty face, but only for a moment. Letting out a loud, high-pitched giggle, she turned to him and, careful first to shake her star-covered tits in his face, she brought her lips down to his for a long, passionate kiss. When it finally broke, their tongues were intimately acquainted, and the man was breathing heavily. "Hey," he whispered, looking up at her as she sat on his lap, "what's your name?" "Sindy," she purred, shaking her thick, brown hair back on her shoulder, "with a capital 'S'." Keeping one arm wrapped around his shoulders, she slipped her hand down under his pants and gave his cock a quick squeeze, careful to slide her long, slender fingers along the moist tip of his cock. Smiling a pouty little smile, she brought the hand up to her lips and gave it a long, slow lick. "Mmmmm..." she moaned, running her tongue along the outside of her finger. "Tastes yummy." The man swallowed. "Uhm... is there anywhere we can... can go?" he stuttered. "Yes," she told him, still running her tongue along her lips, "but you have to talk to him first." The girl, Sindy, pointed towards the man standing in the corner: Pedro. Without another word, the man pushed her off his lap and began pulling her across the room. Towards Pedro. The look of lust on Sindy's face was immediately replaced with a look of relief. If she earned less than her quota... ***** Finally, the call came. It was Scott. The trip was a success. The deal was signed and would close within the month. He'd be on the next flight back from Mexico City, arriving at 5:00 p.m. that same day. Sandra was beside herself. Despite the fact that it was only 10:00 in the morning (the two girls had been out at a club until nearly 4:00 a.m. the night before), she immediately called Terry. The other girl answered the phone, still groggy with sleep. She quickly woke up and seemed equally excited when she heard the news, and suggested that Sandra do something special to welcome her fiance back. She suggested that Sandra get a full makeover before going to the airport. Sandra balked, thinking, as always, of the cost, but Terry said that it would be her treat. Sandra quickly agreed, thinking about how she would like to greet her fiance looking her best. About an hour later, Terry picked her up and drove her to a nearby salon. Terry seemed to know the receptionist, and, to the glares of a number of other waiting clients, the two girls were immediately ushered into a private room at the back. Once again, Sandra was impressed by this treatment. Amazing what money could do. Under Terry's instructions, they gave Sandra the full treatment: makeup, hairstyling and colouring (Sandra had protested, but Terry insisted); nails... the works. It seemed to take hours. Finally, they were done. Sandra looked at herself in the mirror and gasped. She looked almost exactly like... "It's amazing, isn't it?" Sandra whirled around to see her friend grinning at her. She was holding what looked to be some sort of a... a wig? "I didn't really notice it until they cut your hair. That's why I suggested the colour." Sandra was torn between being anger and laughter. She did not really like the way the other girl had imposed on her, but... well, she *had* always admired the other girl's sophisticated look; she just hadn't realized how much she actually resembled her friend. They could be sisters. Or twins. "And look at this," Terry grinned. "I found it next door." She pulled the brown-haired wig onto her head and adjusted it over her short, blonde hair. "Oh my god." Once again, Sandra was stunned. The wig looked almost exactly like her own hair before it was cut. With the wig on, Terry now resembled Sandra, just as Sandra now looked like Terry. The two girls stared at their reflections for a few moments and then burst into a fit of giggles as they tried to imitate each other's expressions and mannerisms. It was Terry who suggested that she accompany Sandra to the airport in the wig and in Sandra's clothes while Sandra was to dress like Terry. Sandra agreed, laughing. It would be a great joke to play on Scott. The thought of her fiance arriving at the airport to be confronted with the two identical women dressed as each other was impossible to resist. Besides, she was curious to see if Scott would recognize her. Terry arranged to pick Sandra up from her hotel later that afternoon and drive her out to the airport. ***** Ted Trumble sighed happily, looking around the crowded bar. It was always good to take some time off, particulary after a long circuit through mid-west. The way things were with farms these days, a guy couldn't sell a shovel, much less the John Deere tractors and other machinery that were Trumble's stock in trade. Still, the sales trip hadn't been a complete failure, and Trumble had decided to reward himself with a quick vacation at Pedro's. Now, which slut did he... His eye landed almost immediately upon the girl dressed as a cowgirl. She was hustling across the room with a 'client', shaking her tight ass in the sexy, exaggerated manner common to all of Pedro's girls. He had seen her on stage earlier in the evening, and had felt a strong attraction. It was not that she was more beautiful than the other girls - quite the contrary; there were a number of available girls who were much better looking than she was. It was just the sense of... well, newness. And fear. Almost innocence. She was clearly new to Pedro's establishment. And Trumble wanted her. He watched as she said goodbye to the other man with a long kiss, and, when she turned in his direction, he waved her over. He watched cynically as she arranged her face in a welcoming smile and then walked over, hips swinging and breasts bobbing. "Hi there," she purred. "What can I do for you?" Trumble smirked. Almost convincing... but he didn't have time for the foreplay. He didn't want to talk to these girls; he wanted to fuck them. "Well," he drawled, "for starters, you can take my fat cock up your slut ass. How does that sound?" The girl's smile slipped for a second, but was quickly replaced by a look of lust. Not bad, Trumble admitted; she was learning fast. He hoped he wasn't too late. "That sounds gooood," she purred, "but first we have to..." "I know all about Pedro, slut. Let's go." He turned and walked across the room towards the corner where Pedro sat waiting. Trumble didn't turn around. He knew the girl would follow... ***** Terry's Mercedes sped across the long, level stretch of open land that separated the airport from the resort, powerful and silent. As they had planned, Terry was wearing Sandra's clothing - a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt - while Sandra had chosen some items from Terry's closet - an elegant, knee length skirt and white blouse. Sandra grinned happily as they drove; she couldn't wait to see Scott's reaction. They approached and then passed a car stopped at the side of the road. The hood was open and two men were peering inside. One of them looked up and waved as the Mercedes approached. Terry immediately applied the brakes. Sandra looked around, worried. "I don't think this is a good idea." There were no other cars in sight. "Oh, it's OK," Terry answered, dismissing her fears. "I know them." She pulled her Mercedes onto the shoulder just behind the other car. "Let's just see if they need a ride, or something." Reassured, Sandra got out of the car and followed her friend. She came around behind the other vehicle and was just about to speak when she felt an arm encircle her neck from behind. Trembling, she opened her mouth to call for Terry, but a thick wad of cloth was placed over her face. It smelled funny. She tried to hold her breath, but it was no use; she felt herself getting weaker and weaker. As her senses faded, she heard: "...and do it right." It was Terry. "Are you certain... real damage... might..." "I know what..." Everything went black. ***** Trumble wasn't subtle. As soon as the cowgirl entered his hotel room, he grabbed her arm and spun her around, sending her tumbling onto the bed. She fell heavily, knocking his jacket and overnight bag onto the floor. "Slut," he sneered, "You like it up the ass, don't you?" He watched as the girl fought to maintain her smile. This was what he loved; taking the new ones and fucking their hot little asses off. And watching them pretend to like it. "Oh yes," she breathed, voice trembling slightly. "Please fuck me in the ass." "Whore." He grabbed a fistful of hair, knocking her ridiculous cowboy hat to the floor, and jammed her face up against his crotch. "You've got about thirty seconds to get it wet before I shove it up your shithole." Moaning, the girl reached up and fumbled with his zipper. Thirty seconds; she was new, but she knew what it felt like to be dry-fucked up the ass. After a few moments of frantic effort, she got his zipper down and slid his cock free of his pants. It was already hard. Panting with fear or lust, she slipped her lips over his cock and began sucking at it, trying desperately to get it as wet as possible. Trumble smiled as he looked down at her face, almost entirely covered with a curtain of thick, brown hair. Even now, even in her near panic, she was moaning as she sucked, trying to make it sound like she was horny - like she was enjoying herself. Poor bitch. "That's enough." He shoved her back onto the bed. Her lips made a soft popping sound as they slid free of his now glistening cock. "Roll over." The girl, turned over onto her stomach. "Up you go," he ordered, deliberately phrasing his orders to sound as though he was addressing a dog. "C'mon... on all fours. That's right... wiggle your ass... good girl..." He climbed on the bed behind her where she was crouched on all fours, legs splayed and asshole completely exposed. Just at the perfect height for him to... shove... his... cock... into... "Ahhhh...." Despite her training - despite her dire fear of Pedro - the girl couldn't help but let out a cry of absolute horror and pain as Trumble buried his cock deep in her tight ass with one brutal shove. Completely encased in her tight, quivering shithole, the salesman leaned forward and held his position, giving her time adjust. Not much fun if she fainted... After a few moments, her breathing steadied. He leaned back and slapped her on the side of her ass. "Slut," he growled. "You love it, don't you?" "Yesssss," she panted, trying to sound sexy, "I love it." "Just an ass slut, aren't you?" "Yes," she groaned. "I'm an ass slut. Please fuck me." Trumble grinned. Whatever the little lady wanted. With another slap on her thigh, he began plowing his big cock in and out of her ass. Trying to lessen the pain, the girl widened her legs, and was soon pressing back against him. Her breath came in short bursts as she grunted in time with his thrusts. Simulated passion: "Uh... Uh... Uh..." "Fuckin' bitch," he groaned, picking up the pace, "gonna ream you out. Gonna fuck you so bad..." He thrust harder and harder, slapping his thighs against her upturned rear, lurching back and forth as he sawed his cock in and out of her stretched asshole. The girl groaned and panted for breath, still trying to sound excited as the salesman steadily increased the tempo. Gradually, her grunts became higher and higher, eventually resembling the squealing of a pig more than groans of lust: "Eee... Eeee... Eeeeee...". Finally... "Take it, bitch!" He stiffened, leaning forward and clutching hard at her tits, as he came, groaning in pleasure as he shot rope after rope of jism up her abused asshole. In response, the girl wiggled her ass and gave out a loud wail: faking an orgasm as best she could under the conditions. Eventually, he eased up, sighing. Giving her ass a final slap, he slipped his rapidly deflating cock from her shithole. A thin trail of sperm joined his cock to the hole in which it had recently been buried, but fell away down her thigh as he got up off the bed. Spent, he had no more use for the bitch. "I'm goin' to the can," he told her as she panted and groaned on the bed. "When I come out, I want you gone. Got that, cumbag?" "Yes sir." No longer even trying to be sexy, her voice sounded small and frightened. Defeated. Grinning to himself, Trumble ambled into the washroom and closed the door... ***** When she awoke, her hands were bound tightly behind her back with rope and her mouth was stuffed with a foul smelling rag. Coughing, Sandra tried to spit it out, but it seemed to be tied in place. She twisted her wrists, trying to pull them free, but they were held fast. A sob of fear racked her body as she struggled to sit up. She was lying on a hard pallet in some sort of wood hut. The room was dark, but she could just make out the shape of a cheap wooden table and a heavy chest set back against the wall. Groaning behind the gag, she tried to swing her legs off the pallet. Maybe she could... The door banged open. Sandra gasped and cringed back. Squinting against the light, she watched as a small man walked slowly into the room. He appeared to be Mexican, with dark hair and skin, but she didn't recognize him. It was hard to make out the details in the darkened room. The man walked up to the pallet and stared down in silence, a dark, menacing shape in the shadowed room. Then, without warning, he bent down and struck her hard across the face. Sandra squealed, more in shock than in pain, and tried to roll away. "Bitch," the man spat, straightening. He spoke with a heavily accented english. This confused Sandra even further; she didn't know any Mexican men. "You think you can leave me just like that?" The man turned and began to pace angrily in the small room. "I told you; I warned you... yet you disobeyed me; laughed in my face. I come back from business to find that you've been whoring yourself at half the meatmarkets in town while I've been away. And putting it on my card!" He tore a piece of paper from a pocket. "And then this! Do you think you can say goodbye like this? Tell me that I'm a..." He glanced at the paper for a moment and then looked up. "...a 'lousy lover.'" The last two words were spat out like poison. The man tore the piece of paper in two and tossed it away. He fell silent for a moment while Sandra quietly sobbed on the pallet. She didn't understand what was going on here; all she knew was that she was frightened and wanted to go home. Where was Scott? Why didn't he... "OK." The man spoke again. His voice was calmer, but he was tightly wound. "Alright. You don't want me. Fine. You say you want to see other men. That's fine too. That can be arranged." The man strode over to the side of the pallet, gripped Sandra's face in his hand and shook it. "I'll see you get all the men you can handle," he whispered. Abruptly, he let go and straightened up. With a sigh, he walked back to the door. He stood for a moment, framed in the opening, and then turned back. "I... I..." He muttered something in Spanish and then turned away. "Theresa," he whispered, closing the door. "Theresa." Theresa! "Mmmmm." Sandra sat up on the bed, trying desperately to say something, to protest, but it was too late. The door closed, leaving her in darkness... ***** Ahhh... That was better. Trumble eased himself off the toilet and flushed. All in all, it had been a great evening. Almost enough to make up for the last few weeks spent driving across the mid-west trying to sell... The big man froze as he walked out of the washroom. The girl was still there! She was lying, half-dressed on the bed, staring at the front page of some sort of newspaper. "What the fuck are you..." The girl looked up. Tears streamed down her face and the newspaper trembled in her hand. She seemed to be trying to say something, but nothing came out. Caught off guard, Trumble almost felt sorry for her. Almost. "I told you to get the fuck out of here, bitch," he yelled, striding forward and grabbing the paper from her trembling hand. "Now get!" He grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to the door, and shoved her, still half dressed, out into the hallway. "I'll be talking to Pedro in the morning," he promised her, and slammed the door. Shaking with anger, the salesman walked over the bed and sat down heavily. What the fuck was the little cum sack reading about anyway? Curious, he picked up the paper she had been holding. It was some two-bit weekly rag from one of the numerous hick towns he had been hitting the last few weeks: place by the name of Easton. He looked at the front page and grunted. Nothing much there. Just some hokey story about a local wedding; about how a hometown boy - a self-made millionaire from the story - was marrying a girl he'd met at college: Sandra something-or-other. There was a short bit about their recent vacation in Mexico that Trumble thought might point to some connection - something about the girl being mugged and suffering temporary amnesia; and about how the guy had stood by her - but that was it. Trumble shrugged his shoulders and tossed the paper into the bin. It was a mystery to him. Stupid bitch. Ah well... not that it mattered. He'd talk to Pedro in the morning. Pedro was always extremely concerned with the comfort of his guests. Extremely concerned. Pedro would remind her who she was...
