“How was practice?”
“We didn’t get a lot done. Too many questions.”
“Like how you survived against James?”
“That, and ‘who’s the new girl?’"

The Girl Most Likely To … - Part 61
By Barbara Lynn Terry

Chapter 1 - The Pine Meadows Home For Adolescent Girls.

Pine Meadows County deputy sheriff sergeant, Naomi Petersen, during her patrols, would stop in at the Pine Meadows Home For Adolescent Gils. This is where she was made an honorary sister. This is an honor not bestowed lightly by the resident girls.

Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

I walked out the front door of Mike’s house at O’dark thirty wearing a pair of shoes that were two sizes too big along with three pairs of socks to try and ensure they would fit. Sure, I could have worn my Birkenstocks but if I was expected to do any actual running then I’d have an issue.

The Winter Semester is coming to an end. The girls get ready to celebrate and also spend some time in their favourite pursuit, hopping. Unexpected shoppers lead to an interesting day.

“Your body: if you’re done with it … can I have it?”

Part Eighteen

"I'm not sure how seriously to take this," said Special Agent Sanders, concerned. "Either this guy is a raving lunatic, completely divorced from reality or he's the secret power behind one of the nation's major political parties! As well as at least two of its biggest political scandals!"

"Who says he can't be both?" said Special Agent Thompson, sourly. "Or that he's the only one? In either party?"

"Please leave your cynicism outside the office," said Special Agent in Charge Covington. "Focus on what we know about this case."

The past can catch up to someone even if it is just the past of the last week.
Mercy learns this the hard way as she lands in a spot of trouble.
