Together, they shared an intimate moment of evil delight in knowing that many tales of explanation would be fabricated in trying to explain a huge coincicence, but in the end, GB will be entered into their global power scheme on the black squares of night.
81. Sheila reflected, "Yes, the truth in the position... patiently finding it in a chess game, in romantic encounters,

in blissful wedlock, in mortal combat, in mega collisions and in any other subtle high stakes venue of life."

Just a parenthetical sidebar window on the play of Sheila's mind... (1) in the interest of putting further flesh on one of the main character's

bones, (2) in the hope of weaving the evolving plot line into the chapter's title/theme, and (3) in an effort to provide a little breathing

space for any readers, while the primary authors were out of town. Answer to your question about the daily meds is 'No'. Couldn't find

them. Same problem encountered with the pretty eggs I hid on Easter Morning. Excuse me... think it's high time for me to go to my room.

P.S. Your line about the perfume/really after shave being sprayed on the air she was about to walk through is still quite pleasant and vivid.

83. Jose asked Sheila if she were interested in a "trip" to the South Pacific. She replied, "Are you going to join me?" He said , "Not right away but I will be there in a couple of days. I have some business to attend to with "The Donald" first." Fascinated, she pressed him for details but he wasn't willing to say anything more, something about confidentiality. She knew better than to persue it and changed the subject to the trip. It was to be a little vacation of sorts with a bit of business thrown in , "writeoffs" don't you know. Just then the phone rang and Jose, after saying only a few words in Croatian, said that he had to go. She said her goodbyes and went back to her car and left the building heading for............

85. When she arrived at the appointed rendezvous her contact was nowhere to be found. Confused she was about to step back into her car and leave when, from out of the coner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of...."no it couldn't be" she thought, Natasha had been killed it had to have been a mistake.

87. "Well, you are alive." Sheila sighed with resignation of her spirit. She knew the game was up. She had been captured. There was no hope for survival now. The dark forces would escape with the ransom and cast the world into the black domain.

90. "Vell dallink, for your information this is not a cigarette nor a lighter".When she awoke Sheila found herself tied to a chair in a dank, darkened room. Within minutes there was the sound of a key being turned in a lock and a door opened emitting a sliver of light and the sihouette of a man and a woman. Boris spoke first,"We meet again and this time the tides have turned".

91. Sheila was resigned to her fate. They would torture her, or worse, if that was their wish. Her mind drifted back through time, escaping as she faced certain death. The time she triumphantly "mated" the king at the royal court, languishing in glory with the 86% dark godiva chocolates. The time she lured the dark queen into a trap, allowing her to capture the majority oil riches of kazakstan, sicilian smith-morra, when when only by the strangest tactical fluke did the dark forces manage to prevail, all due to the Hershy-Mars-Dairy Queen-Buffett connection.
