My Daughter Wendy ( 0 )
FantasyMY girl WENDY
Part 1
Please observe this is a continuation of my petty Hitchhiker, but starts off slow - very slow, the number one few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at work that Monday to uproar. People were rushing around like headless wimp ! I got to my cuboid and noticed that Bob 's door - my threshold is always open ! - Was firmly closed and the subterfuge drawn. I looked to my co-worker, Adam, and mouthed 'What 's going on ?'
He looked at me, `` Head office ! That is what ! someone 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the place - The Auditors are going through Bob 's account book looking at everything.
'' Shit ! Where 's that going to go away us ? '' I asked. However, Adam just shrugged his shoulder. I spent the rest of the morning shifting through some paperwork, and thinking about Tania and Janet. With any chance, they would be on the woodworking plane back to America to have a bun in the oven on with their lives.
In the good afternoon Bob finally appeared from his office, along with a couple of constabulary officers and a man in a gray suit. It seems that Bob 's dreams of retiring fat may give birth hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the short prick who would be taking over Bob 's shoes, But we carried on as per normal, although I did line up myself fielding respective inquiries from stave - to be honest many of which they could have worked out for themselves, but I did n't want to disappoint them.
By the end of the day I was so tired that I almost missed the announcement that we would have to assist a stave group meeting on Tuesday, all I wanted to do was to go home and drop onto my bed.
The phone rang as I entered the house I answered it.
'' You do n't sound well daddy can ! '' Tania 's welcomed voice came to my ears.
'' I 'm sorry 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 try her voice anyway.
'' Oh mummy wanted to do some rubber-necking - she took me to the British capital Dungeon, it was smashing, all the bodies and the mountain chain. .. I enjoyed it so much ! '' I could almost picture her wanting to try some of the chains herself. `` And we ate dejeuner at the Blood and Guts café - you should have come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would have liked to Tania, but I do n't think my chief would have let me. '' I could get a line her yawn it must own been a long day for her as well.
'' I know daddy John, oops, here 's mummy. '' Then a faint `` It 's for you. .. '' as the speech sound was handed to Janet. `` hullo ? Who 's that ? '' Janet asked cautiously.
'' how-do-you-do Janet, I take it you did n't ask Tania to earphone. '' I said, dropping Tania into trouble immediately.
'' how-do-you-do John - no I did n't. However, she did miss you today, so I suppose I should not be too furious with her. You sound shopworn. '' It was a quick change of bailiwick. .. but then I suppose it did echo in my voice. `` Oh just some added fun and secret plan at work, we 're going through a hectic clip at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you want to talk about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just slow work hooey, you would n't be matter to. So Tania liked looking around the dungeon then ? '' I could change the subject with the skillful of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the run and having to travel through double-crosser gate, I had to stop her from looking too hard at the exhibit, just in case she started to pick apart them ! '' She paused for a import, as if debating with herself about something but then she finished by saying, `` I 'm sorry lavatory there 's a lot I 've got to do, I 'll see you again sometime. ``
'' That 's alright Janet, I know you 've got to jam and format to rejoin to America, I hope Tania does n't fatigue you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the difference of the care package that Sonja had left. I did deliberate drowning my sorrows in whiskey again, but contented myself with watching the idiot box for a dyad of hours before stopping for the day.
I arrived at work, early for a variety. If I were going to get the sacque then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a bombastic car in the visitor 's blank. The windows were dark so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the construction and took the lift to the third level, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to concentrate on the employment, but no Oklahoman had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the rest of the herd to the merging room.
'' If I can induce your aid supplication. .. Thank you ! '' That was Clive Roger de Mortimer the tribal chief executive director officeholder of our offshoot of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a small-scale problem in the growing arena. '' There was a small amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of assistance from higher up and Clive was the chief suspect. `` We are expecting a spokesperson from headland Office to make it today and pop interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so please gift him all the help you can. We 'll be starting at 11 O'clock. ``
We ambled back to our pens feeling like sheep about to shorn of their sheepskin. I pitied the poor sod that inherited us. At XI O'clock the telephone set started to ring, calling the sacrificial lamb to their slaughter.
Adam returned after his calling, he looked slightly shell-shocked, `` My god ! '' He said, `` She 's a right one, looks so dainty but then. .. perfect ice-queen, she 'd put the white beldam to dishonor. '' disco biscuit always had a thing about Narnia ( you know The Lion, The Witch and the press ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any information about the foe is useful.
'' That person from head office, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of doubt and she knows her stuff, but BOY ! Her position, it stinks ! '' Adam said, and he was being polite !
Just then, my earpiece rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. bowman, will you come to the meeting room. '' The person hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the meeting room. I knocked on the door. .. `` do ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just semen !'but I entered the room.
The person was sitting in a swivel chair ; its back was towards me. I approached the table and stood there, I was willing to wait. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you opine you should be in charge here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to recognize the voice.
'' I do n't know if I do want to be in charge, not if I have to cover to some arrogant American English who thinks she can boss everyone about. .. Janet ! '' I said smiling as I spoke the last.
'' There you are mum ! 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 Brigham Young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair round, she was also smiling. `` It 's good to see you as well whoremaster. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the decently person for this position. '' She added.
I shook my head, `` Who ? Me No way The person to moderate this crowd needs 4 work force, one to go for the hot seat, the other to hold the motorcar gun and two to take in whips 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 microprocessor chip, 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 work, all I did was point them in the direction. '' I said,
'' That 's what we need, a coordinator who knows what he 's doing. I have been going through our file, your name keeps coming up in our systems, and when you are involved, the organisation have a downhearted failure pace. But for some reason your harbinger failed to promote you as he should get. '' Janet said.
'' Of course he did n't, because it would have lost him money. '' I said emphasizing the 'him'part.
'' Plus there 's the other aspect of you, your ability of keeping your back talk shut, it 's the thing we need from a manager. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you mean the fellowship needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' John ? 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 up in the company. .. '' I began but then Tania started to giggle away. “. .. Very high up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' momma 's the owner of the company at dwelling house. '' Tania said.
'' well I 'm the legal age stockholder of the parent party. '' Janet said. .. This clip I sat down in shock.
'' I do n't remember seeing your figure on the board, and I 'm certain that the parent company 's address is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh dad started the company in New York State, it 's just when he met my female parent while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his percentage of the company when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the display board, except as J.A. Williams, my maiden public figure. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Tennessee Williams was one of the senior phallus 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 pa whoremaster ! I do n't know all the places that mummy owns, and anyway you were the one who told her, not me ! '' Tania defended herself from my accusation. However, I picked her up and placed her over my knees anyway.
'' Mr. Sagittarius do you think this is the good way to conduct yourself during an interview ? '' Janet said in an authoritative voice.
'' Maybe not, but what a way to get fired ! '' I said and, flipping Tania 's skirt up to break her naked backside, I brought my handwriting down three times on her flesh. `` Tania how dare. .. you come here. .. without your knickers on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm deplorable daddy John, but how did you know ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my script over her dent,
'' 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 girl and set her onto the priming coat on unsteady legs. I then turned to Janet, `` I suppose I told you everything about Bob, and that explains about the audit check yesterday ? ``
She gave a sheeplike nod, `` I 'm afraid so lavatory, when I heard on the sound recording where you worked and what was happening I ordered an immediate check. I also suggested that we try to feel a replenishment. .. which was you. '' She reached out a hand to me, `` Welcome to upper direction John. ``
I looked up to the ceiling `` 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 have intercourse ? No good deed of conveyance ever goes unpunished ! ``

.
Over the adjacent, few workweek'life, for me, was hectic. I was shown how to running the department for very instead of just being a cog in the wheels. I wished that Janet had chosen someone else for the job, but then after a bit everything just seemed to 'click'into station, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter of the alphabet from social Services, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the list that showed I was a danger to children by fortuity, 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 elementary reply stating that I had received their varsity letter and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the topical anesthetic police force are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the Social inspection and repair for indemnification caused by their hatchet job of my name. Therefore, I was going to be fairly well-heeled off.
I did learn from Tania and Janet during that sentence, they had returned to America. .. It was foreign to try from them during my evenings knowing they were just finishing breakfast and getting ready for employment or schooltime. One piece of music 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 matter while she was with me.
'' About going to school without clothes '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing diachronic the great unwashed today. .. and I 'm going as dame Go diva ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' Hello St. John the Apostle, I 've checked with the school and they 're okay with her doing this, but she does n't bang she 's going to have to quell like that all day. '' I could listen a gasp and then more laugh from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a horse for her to taunt ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice piddling filly, well trained and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her interpreter
'' goodness at least one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to laugh aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so laughable, after Janet told her, she gave an indignant 'humph'and must have taken handle of the phone.
'' Daddy King John ! That is not decent ! I can be adept as well ! ''
'' There 's no need to get on your heights horse about it, by the way how high is your horse ? '' I asked her my humor coming out
'' It 's just the mighty size. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you come over here to find out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to can and then hand me the phone ! ``
'' Sorry daddy John. '' Said Tania, but from the swing in her vox, I did not think she imply it.
'' That 's alright young lady Knickers. '' I said ( no I did n't take it too seriously either ), and I heard her giggle away as she handed the phone back to Janet.
'' I do n't know who 's worse, 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 smile on my grimace and dreaming of being Peeping Tom.
After a month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a routine of synchronism with America of our data point as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the building burnt down we 'd be able to pull through up to the previous two days.
That was when the thunderclap dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex and her hubby. I was in their fallout.
The first foretoken I had was a local new item - 'Police have raided several local business firm today, the understanding for this are not yet known, we expect Sir Thomas More information soon'I heard that but took no card of it.
However, the next day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm no-account sir, but there 's a Mrs. Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't make an appointment '' That was my escritoire Eileen.
'' What company does she present Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk wide of composition and plan, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from Social Services, and it 's important. '' Came the reply.
I did not trust well not out loud. 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 menace to society ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will possess deal of meter to get my solicitor onto their cover when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and come in as well, I may necessitate you to take notes. '' 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 draw near this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an accent in her vocalization, a slightly comrade accent.
'' Well if it to give an apology then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking steps against your department, I must take on I did n't expect anyone to look in Holy Order to name me stop. .. '' I was saying, but then the look on her face made me stop over. `` But. .. that 's not why you 're here, is it ? '' I finished by saying.
She looked back at Eileen and then shook her head. `` I 'm afraid I 'm new to this area, I understand there is a problem between yourself and our office staff but I do n't know 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 school principal, `` I keep on thinking of her day and night. .. ``
'' Pardon '' Mrs. Atchison said I had not realized that I had spoken aloud.
'' I 'm no-good Mrs Atchison, just something that came to me, I do n't have intercourse 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 tell me. '' I said without explaining.
'' It concerns your daughter, err. .. Wendy. '' She said and paused.
'' She 's with her female parent who took her to live with her boyfriend ; I 'm not allowed to see her. '' I said flatly.
'' Yes, well there is a problem at the moment, as her lone relative we need to love if you 'll accept the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must allow in that my offset answer was 'huh ?'Mrs Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did hear what you said but I do n't understand. 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 take been shouting 'YES, YES !'but here I was asking questions.
'' wellspring Wendy 's been taken into guardianship 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, but none of them wanted to accept her. ``
I shook my caput, `` No, they did n't like her either, for the first reasonableness she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her syndicate, like her, was strange to the extreme ! `` But I will take Wendy ; I 'm surprised that your department bothered to ask me. '' I said.
'' I must admit that the meeting was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the headman said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the unforesightful straw. '' I said making her smiling,
'' Yes, I must admit that you do n't come along to be the person I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm blue, I should n't have said that. '' She looked back pointedly at Eileen who was still writing away furiously.
I took the confidential information. `` 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 sugar ? '' She asked Mrs. Atchison.
'' Milk and two sweetener please, Miss. .. ''
'' shout me Eileen, I 'll be some arcminute. '' Eileen said.
'' telephone me Martha please Eileen. '' Mrs. Atchison, Martha, said.
Eileen smiled and left the way, Martha turned back to me, `` I have to severalise you Mr. Sagittarius the Archer that I 'm an exchange operative, my previous office was in a townspeople in America, you may have heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that speech pattern was associate. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're straightaway. I 'm sorry to say that I do n't personally jazz Mrs. Jones, but we are cognisant 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 fib about Wendy ? '' I asked her.
'' There are some signs of vilification, it 's mainly mental but there is a grade of physical abuse as well. '' She said watching me closely.
Anger flowed through me, and showed on my face, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her mind, `` I 'm not certain, she does n't need to talk about it, we 've receive medical multitude examine her but she 's be beaten, there is evidence of anal retentive incursion but she still has her hymen, for the life of me I do n't experience why. '' I knew I was shocked at her candor but my fondness went out to Wendy. ``
'' Where is she at the moment ? '' I asked Martha.
'' She 's at the infirmary still ; we did n't have anywhere to send her for the short clip. If you wish to see her I can take you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the room carrying two cup, 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 Robert Adam and Sam in here please. '' I asked my secretary she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within minute of arc both hug drug and Samantha Sir Anthony Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight in, `` I 'm dismal 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 help 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 Clive Mortimer, `` Hi Clive, I 'm going to call for some sentence off I have a kinsperson hand brake to deal with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too often on our home base at the second to let you just drop everything. You ca n't go. '' Baron Clive said.
'' I 'm sorry you feel that way Clive, I had hoped that what I 've done had helped the company, but now I need to. .. '' But Baron Clive of Plassey 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 crown. As we left my billet I called to Eileen, `` If Baron Clive calls you do n't recognise where I am and you do n't know 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 hassle ? '' She asked.
'' Well it appears that I 'm not allowed to have personal problems, the troupe 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 more than the ship's company does, other the great unwashed can do my job here, but only I can help my girl. '' I told her.
She nodded and smiled, `` That 's what I was lead to trust, and do you expect any trouble when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a import. If Clive was the staring bastard that I thought he might be then I could anticipate our burly security system people would try to blockade me. I pressed the second floor button. `` It could be that we 'll need to use the fire leakage instead of the front door, do you let a car handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the hinder parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a television display as Martha and I broke the plastic restraining clip on the fire doors, hearing the alarm sound as we ran down the metal flame leak and then to the car Mungo 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 mixer Service could be so charge. '' Martha said as we turned into the infirmary parking area.
I smiled ruefully, `` I think I 've just resigned from my job. '' I said.
'' Oh I do n't believe we can allow that, I 'll see what I can do. '' Martha confided to me and escorted me to the pediatric wards.
We arrived at the nurse 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's founding father, the nurse looked up surprise. `` I 'm sorry who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nanny directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to receive it was empty, and then the Sister in bearing of the Ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's wrong, I 've identified myself and this valet, why have n't we been taken to Wendy ? '' She asked.
I spoke up, `` Is there something amiss with my girl ? '' The sis looked at me as if surprise I could speak.
'' Not with your daughter as such, but with her cognition of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the hearsay that I 'm some type of pervert then I have to tell you. .. '' I started but the Sister stopped me there and then.
'' It 's not your personal life I 'm on about, well in a way it is. Wendy is under the stamp that you 're dead ! '' I looked at her open mouthed.
'' I can assure you that I 'm perfectly healthy, now why does Wendy think this ? '' I asked her.
The sis shook her brain, `` I do n't know, but when we told her that her don was coming to beak her up she started to cry, we tried to order her it was n't the man that her mother was living with and all she would say is 'but daddy is numb !''' The babe replied.
Martha took control. `` I suggest you bring Wendy into this room and we 'll see how she reacts. '' The sister looked slightly doubtful about that but went away.
A nanny brought a young young lady into the way and sat beside her, Martha smiled at Wendy, `` hi again Wendy, do you remember 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 facial expression, she was biting her lower lip as if trying to wee 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 ! Mummy told me that daddy was dead a hanker prison term ago. '' She said in a critical tone.
'' But your mommy and I broke up respective years ago. ``
'' No, mummy told me that you did n't want to see us again, that was why you threw us out and we moved in with HIM ! '' There was a tone to that last piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the here and now I 'm sure you would n't believe that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not need to upset her.
She shook her head a sat down on a chair, not looking at anyone. I gave a care glance at Martha who just shook her read/write head slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mummy 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 farsighted, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were crying in my eyes.
'' Why did you bequeath us ? '' Wendy asked me.
'' I did n't, your female parent told me that she did n't desire to last out with me, she left me taking you with her. '' I said, `` Will you come back to me ? '' I asked her softly.
'' Do you want me to ? You wo n't send me away again will you ? '' Wendy asked me through tear-laden eyes.
I got up from my rump and approached my daughter, I went down onto my stifle so that my header was level with hers and I looked into her eye. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not possess to leave behind me, unless you wish to. '' I said to her, while crossing my kernel with a fingerbreadth - something I had jokingly done when she had been with me.
She watched my hand rather than my face and then she smiled, `` DADDY ! '' she said and threw her arms around my neck opening. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm fulfill that Wendy has accepted her male parent and will release her into his care. '' She said formally, if you would n't mind bringing Wendy 's wearing apparel and I 'll have a word with the Sister in charge. '' Martha said taking the nurse out of the elbow room leaving me with my daughter .
