My sister,my sex slave(44)

"You make sure that you get that kid back into school right away," he said, loudly. Whispering, he said, "Meet me tonight, same time, same place. Don't let them give you anything, you hear?"

She nodded and she was shocked to discover that there were tears on her cheeks. Seeing Adam again had affected her and stirred her deeply, and the feel of his hands on her sensitive breasts had been exceptionally stimulating, too. She wanted him to take her into his arms and hold her against him, but that was impossible.

She heard Carol's footsteps and she stepped back so that she could close the door. Adam Wright winked again and then he left the porch.

Carol moved up to stand beside her as they watched him get into his car and drive away.

"How the hell did he get in here?" Carol said. "It isn't that easy, you know."

"Lennie and the others must have left the gates unlocked," Norma said. "Maybe they are getting careless now."

Carol nodded but she didn't really believe it. She waited for Norma to close and lock the front door, then they walked back to the library. Norma felt that some sort of explanation was in order so she told Carol that the school authorities traced Lily and her through her previous employers and now they were insisting that she send Lily to school.

"I guess I'll have to make her go," Norma said. "Lily hates school and I know just how she feels."

They went on a tour of the house and there were treasures in every room. It was a big house and Norma wondered how the owners would ever get everything back in order again. It seemed like a tremendous task, and not at all like the business of plundering.

Carol insisted that they should pack all of the silverware and anything else of value that they could find. She said that Lennie would sell off everything in sight for low prices just so that they could get underway again.

"Lennie gets antsy when he can't move around," Carol explained. "That's why we finally decided that we would pack up and get. So, now we will put everything in cartons and Lennie and the kids will peddle it in a hurry."

Norma didn't say anything. She worked along with Carol and they packed many cartons and left them in the rooms they were packed in. The boys and Lennie would find them and load them into the truck. And that would be the end of that.

The day went quickly for Norma, probably because she was busy all the while. When it was time to begin fixing dinner, she helped with that, too, and when Carol offered her some wine, while they were fixing dinner, she refused. Carol didn't insist and the two of them worked together very comfortably. In a way, she liked Carol and she wished that she was not a thief. She would hate to be the one to send Carol off to jail but there was no other way to do things. Carol was a crook and that was all that there was to that.

She sat at the kitchen table with the others, later, and while they ate and talked of the money that had been taken in and the humorous events of the day, Norma watched all of them, imagining them in prison. She could imagine how it would be for Lennie. He would sort of take to prison life and make out just fine. The boys would probably be sent to a farm where they could be rehabilitated and taught a trade. Carol would go into a girls' reformatory and she, too, would be taught a trade or something to do what would be honest.

Carol reported the truant officer's visit and Lily had some unkind things to say about truant officers, school, in general, and how the hell did he get in?

"Nobody bothered to lock the gates after we went out this morning,"

Lennie said. "Who figured on truant officers?"

When they were lingering over coffee and cigarettes, Lennie wanted to know what they had accomplished during the day and Carol gave him an inventory. Lennie and the boys decided that they would begin loading the truck after dinner and they would be ready then to get an early start in the morning.

Norma volunteered to clean things up in the kitchen and Carol went along with Lennie, the boys and Lily. She wished that she could tell Lily about what was going to happen to Lennie and the others but she did not dare. The way she felt about Lennie and the twins and Carol, Lily would tell them and give the whole show away.

She couldn't wait for the time to pass so that she could pretend to go to bed and then sneak out of the house and walk to the carriage house and find Adam Wright waiting there for her.

The others worked steadily, loading the cartons that she and Carol had packed into the truck and when they were finally finished, it was well after ten o'clock and everyone was exhausted. When the general move toward the upstairs bedrooms took place, Norma was almost as tired as everyone else.

She was afraid to go to sleep and trust the alarm clock again. Instead, once she reached her bedroom, she took a shower and freshened up and then she sat down and waited for the others to settle down, too.
