MY daughter WENDY

division 1

Please take down this is a continuation of my little Hitchhiker, but starts off slow - very slow, the first few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at piece of work that Monday to uproar. people were rushing around like headless poulet ! I got to my cubical and noticed that Bob 's threshold - my door is always open ! - Was firmly closed and the screen drawn. I looked to my colleague, go, and mouthed 'What 's going on ?'
He looked at me, `` Head office staff ! That is what ! somebody 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the shoes - The Auditors are going through Bob 's books looking at everything.
'' Shit ! Where 's that going to leave us ? '' I asked. However, Adam just shrugged his shoulders. I spent the rest of the morning shifting through some paperwork, and thinking about Tania and Janet. With any luck, they would be on the plane back to America to carry on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his government agency, along with a couple of police force officeholder and a man in a greyish lawsuit. It seems that Bob 's ambition of retiring rich may have hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the hapless bastard who would be taking over Bob 's shoe, But we carried on as per formula, although I did rule myself fielding several research from faculty - to be honest many of which they could have worked out for themselves, but I did n't desire to disappoint them.
By the end of the day I was so tired that I almost missed the announcement that we would give birth to give ear a staff meeting on Tuesday, all I wanted to do was to go home and drop onto my bed.
The phone rang as I entered the planetary house I answered it.
'' You do n't sound well daddy whoremaster ! '' Tania 's welcome voice came to my ears.
'' I 'm no-count Tania, it 's just that it 's been a hectic day, but never mind that, I thought you were going back to America today. '' I said glad to get wind her voice anyway.
'' Oh mommy wanted to do some sightseeing - she took me to the London dungeon, it was smashing, all the bodies and the chains. .. I enjoyed it so lots ! '' I could almost picture her wanting to try some of the Chain herself. `` And we ate dejeuner at the rakehell and Guts café - you should feature come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would hold liked to Tania, but I do n't call back my bosses would have let me. '' I could hear her oscitance it must have been a long day for her as well.
'' I know daddy privy, oops, here 's mummy. '' Then a syncope `` It 's for you. .. '' as the phone was handed to Janet. `` how-do-you-do ? Who 's that ? '' Janet asked cautiously.
'' Hello Janet, I take it you did n't ask Tania to phone. '' I said, dropping Tania into trouble immediately.
'' hi John - no I did n't. However, she did lose you today, so I suppose I should not be too angry with her. You sound tired. '' It was a quick change of depicted object. .. but then I suppose it did echo in my voice. `` Oh just some added fun and games at work, we 're going through a hectic sentence at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you want to talk about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just dull work stuff and nonsense, you would n't be occupy. So Tania liked looking around the dungeon then ? '' I could change the field of study with the near of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the trial and having to travel through betrayer gate, I had to stop her from looking too hard at the exhibits, just in case she started to criticize them ! '' She paused for a instant, as if debating with herself about something but then she finished by saying, `` I 'm gloomy St. John the Apostle there 's a lot I 've got to do, I 'll see you again sometime. ``
'' That 's fine Janet, I know you 've got to pack and arrange to return to America, I hope Tania does n't wear you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the oddment of the care package that Sonja had left. I did consider drowning my sorrow in whisky again, but contented myself with watching the idiot box for a couple of hour before stopping for the day.

I arrived at work, early for a change. If I were going to get the sack then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a large car in the visitant 's space. The windows were dark so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the building and took the ski lift to the thirdly flooring, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to concentrate on the study, but no sooner had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the rest of the herd to the meeting room.
'' If I can cause your attention supplication. .. give thanks you ! '' That was Baron Clive of Plassey Mortimer the Chief Executive policeman of our branch of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a little problem in the maturation area. '' There was a lowly amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of assist from in high spirits up and Baron Clive of Plassey was the chief suspect. `` We are expecting a instance from Head part to arrive today and come out interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so please give him all the assistance you can. We 'll be starting at 11 O'clock. ``
We ambled back to our pens feeling like sheep about to shorn of their fleece. I pitied the poor sod that inherited us. At 11 O'clock the phones started to ring, calling the sacrificial lambs to their slaughter.
X returned after his calling, he looked slightly shell-shocked, `` My god ! '' He said, `` She 's a right one, looks so nice but then. .. gross ice-queen, she 'd put the white witch to dishonour. '' Adam always had a thing about Narnia ( you know The Lion, The crone and the Wardrobe ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any information about the foeman is useful.
'' That person from head situation, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of questions and she knows her material, but BOY ! Her attitude, it stinks ! '' Adam said, and he was being polite !
Just then, my phone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. Archer, will you come up to the meeting room. '' The person hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the meeting elbow room. I knocked on the door. .. `` arrive ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just COME !'but I entered the room.
The mortal was sitting in a swivel chair ; its backbone was towards me. I approached the mesa and stood there, I was willing to look. `` So Mr. Sagittarius the Archer, why do you guess you should be in care here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to recognize the voice.
'' I do n't know if I do want to be in boot, not if I have to report to some self-important American English who thinks she can boss everyone about. .. Janet ! '' I said smiling as I spoke the last.
'' There you are mummy ! I told you it would n't work. '' Tania 's voice came from behind me ; I turned, only to get hit in the stomach by the flying Danton True Young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair circle, she was also smiling. `` It 's good to see you as well John the Divine. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the right person for this spatial relation. '' She added.
I shook my head, `` Who ? Me No way The person to control this crowd needs 4 hands, one to throw the chair, the other to hold the machine gun and two to have whip in them, I 'm not the one to do it. '' I told her.
She tapped the file she was holding, `` This says differently. It seems that yesterday there was a minor problem with some chips, and you directed the team to the problem without even thinking about it. ``
'' Yes, but it was an obvious fault, they just had n't tested it through correctly that was all, and anyway they did the workplace, all I did was designate them in the steering. '' I said,
'' That 's what we need, a coordinator who knows what he 's doing. I have been going through our filing cabinet, your name keeps coming up in our systems, and when you are involved, the system have a low-pitched failure rate. But for some reason your herald failed to promote you as he should take. '' Janet said.
'' Of trend he did n't, because it would accept lost him money. '' I said emphasizing the 'him'part.
'' Plus there 's the other aspect of you, your power of keeping your mouth shut, it 's the matter we need from a director. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you mean the party needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' John the Evangelist ? You do n't really know who I am, do you ? '' Janet asked and Tania just looked at me without giving clues.
'' Not really, I mean I know you are Janet Jones and that you 're quite high-pitched up in the company. .. '' I began but then Tania started to titter away. “. .. Very high up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' Mummy 's the owner of the company at habitation. '' Tania said.
'' Well I 'm the legal age shareholder of the parent troupe. '' Janet said. .. This time I sat down in jolt.
'' I do n't call up seeing your name on the circuit board, and I 'm certain that the parent company 's savoir-faire is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh pappa started the company in New House of York State, it 's just when he met my mother while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his share of the company when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the board, except as J.A. Williams, my initiatory name. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Williams was one of the senior extremity of the board.
'' I see, '' I said and turned to Tania, `` And why did n't you say anything when I was talking about where I worked ? '' I asked her.
'' But daddy John ! I do n't recognize all the places that mummy owns, and anyway you were the one who told her, not me ! '' Tania defended herself from my charge. However, I picked her up and placed her over my knees anyway.
'' Mr. Archer do you think this is the best way to carry yourself during an interview ? '' Janet said in an important voice.
'' Maybe not, but what a way to get terminate ! '' I said and, flipping Tania 's doll up to unwrap her defenseless backside, I brought my hand down three times on her flesh. `` Tania how daring. .. you come here. .. without your pants on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm sorry pop John, but how did you know ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my hand over her slit,
'' I 've learnt about you Tania, you 'd go naked to school if you thought you 'd get away with it. '' I stopped fingering the little girl and set her onto the ground on unsteady leg. I then turned to Janet, `` I suppose I told you everything about Bob, and that explains about the audit check yesterday ? ``
She gave a sheepish nod, `` I 'm afraid so John, when I heard on the audio frequency where you worked and what was happening I ordered an immediate check. I also suggested that we try to rule a permutation. .. which was you. '' She reached out a bridge player to me, `` Welcome to upper direction toilet. ``
I looked up to the roof `` Why me lord ? What did I do wrong ? '' I said to the air, but I accepted her hand and shook it.
Janet just smiled at me, `` Why Saint John the Apostle did n't you sleep together ? No good deed ever goes unpunished ! ``

Part 2
.
Over the next, few hebdomad'life, for me, was hectic. I was shown how to running the department for real instead of just being a cog in the roulette wheel. I wished that Janet had chosen someone else for the job, but then after a bit everything just seemed to 'click'into place, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter from social Services, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the tilt that showed I was a risk to children by accident, after looking in to it they have cleared me and they apologized for any inconvenience that this had caused me ( ! )
I was tempted to tell them exactly what it had cost me, my daughter, my life and nearly my sanity. However, how can you write that in a letter. .. without it bursting into flame ?
I finally settled on a simple response stating that I had received their letter of the alphabet and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the local anaesthetic law are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the social Services for damages caused by their defamation of my name. Therefore, I was going to be fairly comfortable off.
I did hear from Tania and Janet during that time, they had returned to USA. .. It was strange to take heed from them during my eventide knowing they were just finishing breakfast and getting ready for work or schooltime. One piece was memorable.
'' I thought about what you said that day at your place. '' Tania told me one day giggling.
'' What was that ? '' I asked. .. well we had discussed several affair while she was with me.
'' About going to schoolhouse without dress '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing historical people today. .. and I 'm going as Lady Go diva ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' Hello John, I 've checked with the schooltime and they 're all right with her doing this, but she does n't have a go at it she 's going to get to stay like that all day. '' I could get a line a gasp and then more laughter from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a sawbuck for her to ride ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice little filly, well trained and suitable. '' Janet said also with a swing in her voice
'' Good at least one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to laugh aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so singular, after Janet told her, she gave an indignant 'humph'and must have got taken appreciation of the phone.
'' Daddy John ! That is not nice ! I can be good as well ! ''
'' There 's no want to get on your gamey horse about it, by the way how high-pitched is your cavalry ? '' I asked her my humor coming out
'' It 's just the right sizing. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you come over here to recover out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to John and then hand me the telephone set ! ``
'' Sorry daddy lav. '' Said Tania, but from the lilt in her voice, I did not call back she meant it.
'' That 's alright Miss Knickers. '' I said ( no I did n't film it too seriously either ), and I heard her giggle away as she handed the phone back to Janet.
'' I do n't cognise who 's unsound, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the phone from Tania. That night I went to bed with a grin on my cheek and dreaming of being Peeping Tom.

After a month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a routine of synchroneity with America of our information as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the building burnt down we 'd be able to bring through up to the previous two solar day.
That was when the thunderclap dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex-wife and her husband. I was in their fallout.
The first house I had was a local anaesthetic new detail - 'Police have raided various local anesthetic family today, the reasons for this are not yet known, we expect more information soon'I heard that but took no notice of it.
However, the following day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm regretful sir, but there 's a Mrs Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't have an appointment '' That was my repository Eileen.
'' What troupe does she represent Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk full-of-the-moon of report and plans, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from Social services, and it 's important. '' Came the reply.
I did not swear well not out cheap. Therefore, they were disturbing me here now ! I suppose they were going to say that they had made a fault with the varsity letter and I am still a threat to society ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will have plenty of time to get my solicitor onto their backs when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and come in as well, I may need you to take bill. '' Eileen was quite a fast speed-writer.
Mrs Atchison entered the room ; she was not acting haughtily but seemed almost apologetic. I allowed her to sit down and Eileen sat behind her with pen and notepad in hand.
'' Mr. archer, I 'm not sure how to come near this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an idiom in her voice, a slightly familiar accent.
'' Well if it to make an apologia then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking steps against your department, I must intromit I did n't expect anyone to appear in social club to score me check. .. '' I was saying, but then the aspect on her face made me intercept. `` But. .. that 's not why you 're here, is it ? '' I finished by saying.
She looked back at Eileen and then shook her promontory. `` I 'm afraid I 'm new to this area, I understand there is a job between yourself and our office but I do n't experience what it is, I think that 's why they sent me to ask you this. '' She said.
I looked at Eileen who was studying me, and a piece of music played itself in my head, `` I keep on cerebration of her day and dark. .. ``
'' free pardon '' Mrs. Atchison said I had not realized that I had spoken aloud.
'' I 'm sorry Mrs. Atchison, just something that came to me, I do n't know why. '' I said.
She smiled slightly, `` It sounded like a piece of ELO. '' She said.
'' It was, anyway Mrs. Atchison what is it you want to severalise me. '' I said without explaining.
'' It concerns your daughter, err. .. Wendy. '' She said and paused.
'' She 's with her mother who took her to dwell with her boyfriend ; I 'm not allowed to see her. '' I said flatly.
'' Yes, well there is a job at the moment, as her only relative we need to have sex if you 'll accept the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must hold that my low solution was 'huh ?'Mrs. Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did see what you said but I do n't empathise. Why ca n't her mother look after her ? '' I said, not knowing why I was delaying, this was my daughter, the one I had taken from me. I should have been shouting 'YES, YES !'but here I was asking questions.
'' Well Wendy 's been taken into charge after both her mother and step-father were arrested yesterday. '' Mrs Atchison explained, `` We 've tried to find any other relatives on your ex-wife 's side of meat, but none of them wanted to take on her. ``
I shook my head, `` No, they did n't like her either, for the first intellect she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her family, like her, was foreign to the extreme ! `` But I will exact Wendy ; I 'm surprised that your section bothered to ask me. '' I said.
'' I must take that the group meeting was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the boss said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the short circuit chaff. '' I said making her smile,
'' Yes, I must intromit that you do n't come along to be the someone I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm deplorable, I should n't sustain said that. '' She looked back pointedly at Eileen who was still writing away furiously.
I took the touch. `` I think that 's all I need Eileen, you would n't mind getting some tea for Mrs. Atchison and myself would you ? '' I asked her.
She looked up and smiled, `` Certainly Mr. Archer, milk and cabbage ? '' She asked Mrs Atchison.
'' Milk and two hook please, fille. .. ''
'' bid me Eileen, I 'll be some instant. '' Eileen said.
'' Call me Martha please Eileen. '' Mrs. Atchison, Martha, said.
Eileen smiled and left the room, Martha turned back to me, `` I have to tell you Mr. Archer that I 'm an commutation intelligence officer, my late office was in a town in U.S.A., you may make heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that accent was conversant. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're quick. I 'm no-count to say that I do n't personally hump Mrs. Inigo Jones, but we are aware of your. .. interaction with Tania. '' She was smiling as she said this and so I understood that she was okay with my actions.
'' So what 's the story about Wendy ? '' I asked her.
'' There are some signs of ill-usage, it 's mainly mental but there is a degree of physical abuse as well. '' She said watching me closely.
Anger flowed through me, and showed on my look, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her point, `` I 'm not sealed, she does n't want to sing about it, we 've deliver medical masses examine her but she 's be beaten, there is evidence of anal retentive penetration but she still has her virginal membrane, for the life of me I do n't do it why. '' I knew I was shocked at her frankness but my ticker went out to Wendy. ``
'' Where is she at the moment ? '' I asked Martha.
'' She 's at the hospital still ; we did n't have anywhere to place her for the scant prison term. If you wish to see her I can take you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the room carrying two cups, I was half tempted to drop everything and run to the infirmary there and then, but I just could not. .. could I ?
'' Eileen, I 've got to go, can you get Adam and Sam in here please. '' I asked my secretary she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within arcminute both Adam and Samantha Sir Anthony Philip Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight in, `` I 'm bad to do this to you both but I 've got a personal problem that 's just arisen, I need you both to cover for me. '' I said. They both agreed that they would serve me without questioning. I showed them the problem I had been working on, the direction I was thinking about going, and they left discussing it.
I then dialed Baron Clive of Plassey Roger de Mortimer, `` Hi Robert Clive, I 'm going to necessitate some clock time off I have a kinsfolk emergency to deal with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too much on our home base at the moment to let you just drop everything. You ca n't go. '' Clive said.
'' I 'm grim you feel that way Clive, I had hoped that what I 've done had helped the company, but now I need to. .. '' But Clive interrupted me.
'' Look Johnny the answer is NO. Got it N. O now how 's that problem we 've sent you ? '' he asked. I hung up the phone.
'' Let 's go. '' I said to Martha and picked up my jacket. As we left my government agency I called to Eileen, `` If Clive calls you do n't recognise where I am and you do n't have it away who I 'm with. .. I doubt if I 'll be back. '' I said as I walked into the lift.
As we descended Martha spoke, `` I take it you 've got fuss ? '' She asked.
'' wellspring it appears that I 'm not allowed to have personal problem, the fellowship comes first. '' I told her.
'' And you are with me because. .. '' She prompted.
'' I 'm with you because my girl comes first. She needs me Sir Thomas More than the companionship does, other the great unwashed can do my job here, but only I can help my daughter. '' I told her.
She nodded and smiled, `` That 's what I was lead to believe, and do you anticipate any worry when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a bit. If Robert Clive was the accomplished bastard that I thought he might be then I could look our buirdly protection people would try to stop me. I pressed the second floor push button. `` It could be that we 'll take to use the fire escape instead of the front threshold, do you deliver a car Handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the vertebral column parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a television show as Martha and I broke the plastic restraining clip on the fervency doors, hearing the alarm auditory sensation as we ran down the metal fire escape and then to the car park, jumping into her car and screeching off with security guards running behind us. We both laughed as we turned onto the main road.

'' This is existing ! Nobody told me that Social Robert William Service could be so exciting. '' Martha said as we turned into the Hospital parking area.
I smiled ruefully, `` I think I 've just resigned from my job. '' I said.
'' Oh I do n't suppose we can permit that, I 'll see what I can do. '' Martha confided to me and escorted me to the paediatric wards.
We arrived at the nurse 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's founder, the nurse looked up surprised. `` I 'm bad who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nurse directed us to a side-room.
We entered the elbow room to find it was empty, and then the Sister in boot of the ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's wrongly, I 've identified myself and this gentleman's gentleman, why have n't we been taken to Wendy ? '' She asked.
I spoke up, `` Is there something wrong with my daughter ? '' The baby looked at me as if surprised I could speak.
'' Not with your girl as such, but with her noesis of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the hearsay that I 'm some type of pervert then I have to order you. .. '' I started but the Sister stopped me there and then.
'' It 's not your personal spirit I 'm on about, well in a way it is. Wendy is under the feeling that you 're utterly ! '' I looked at her open mouthed.
'' I can assure you that I 'm perfectly healthy, now why does Wendy believe this ? '' I asked her.
The Sister shook her head, `` I do n't make out, but when we told her that her Church Father was coming to clean her up she started to cry, we tried to tell her it was n't the man that her mother was living with and all she would say is 'but daddy is dead !''' The Sister replied.
Martha took command. `` I suggest you bring Wendy into this elbow room and we 'll see how she reacts. '' The sister looked slightly dubious about that but went away.
A nurse brought a young girl into the elbow room and sat beside her, Martha smiled at Wendy, `` hello again Wendy, do you recall me ? '' She asked.
Wendy nodded and looked at me as if trying to decide who I was, she walked to me and then looked at my look, she was biting her lower lip as if trying to constitute up her mind.
'' You look like my daddy did. '' She said softly.
'' I am your daddy Wendy. '' I said, also quietly but she shook her head.
'' You ca n't be ! mum told me that daddy was utterly a longsighted time ago. '' She said in a decisive tone.
'' But your mummy and I broke up several years ago. ``
'' No, mammy told me that you did n't need to see us again, that was why you threw us out and we moved in with HIM ! '' There was a pure tone to that last piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the here and now I 'm sure as shooting you would n't trust that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not desire to upset her.
She shook her head a sat down on a chair, not looking at anyone. I gave a worry glance at Martha who just shook her head slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mom said. .. dad. .. daddy ? '' Wendy said looking at me confused. I nodded my head.
'' Yes Wendy, I am your dad, I 've been waiting to see you for so farseeing, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were tears in my eyes.
'' Why did you leave us ? '' Wendy asked me.
'' I did n't, your mother told me that she did n't require to stick around with me, she left me taking you with her. '' I said, `` Will you come back to me ? '' I asked her softly.
'' Do you desire me to ? You wo n't direct me away again will you ? '' Wendy asked me through tear-laden eyes.
I got up from my seat and approached my girl, I went down onto my knee so that my head was tied with hers and I looked into her eyes. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not hold to leave behind me, unless you wish to. '' I said to her, while crossing my warmheartedness with a finger - something I had jokingly done when she had been with me.
She watched my hand rather than my aspect and then she smiled, `` dada ! '' she said and threw her arms around my neck opening. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm satisfied that Wendy has accepted her father and will release her into his fear. '' She said formally, if you would n't mind bringing Wendy 's clothes and I 'll have a Son with the babe in heraldic bearing. '' Martha said taking the nursemaid out of the way leaving me with my daughter .
