MY DAUGHTER WENDY

Part 1

Please note this is a continuation of my fiddling Hitchhiker, but starts off slow - very tiresome, the for the first time few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at workplace that Mon to uproar. multitude were rushing around like headless chicken ! I got to my cuboid and noticed that Bob 's door - my door 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 ! Somebody 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the place - The Auditors are going through Bob 's books looking at everything.
'' Shit ! Where 's that going to exit us ? '' I asked. However, Adam just shrugged his shoulders. I spent the ease 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 hold on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his office, along with a brace of police force officers and a man in a gray suit. It seems that Bob 's dreams of retiring productive may have hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the pitiful bastard who would be taking over Bob 's place, But we carried on as per convention, although I did bump myself fielding several inquiries from faculty - to be reliable many of which they could ingest 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 attend a staff meeting on Tuesday, all I wanted to do was to go home and fall onto my bed.
The phone rang as I entered the family I answered it.
'' You do n't voice well pa John ! '' Tania 's receive spokesperson came to my ears.
'' I 'm sorry Tania, it 's just that it 's been a hectic day, but never creative thinker that, I thought you were going back to United States of America today. '' I said glad to take heed her vocalisation anyway.
'' Oh mom wanted to do some sightseeing - she took me to the capital of the United Kingdom dungeon, it was smashing, all the soundbox and the chains. .. I enjoyed it so often ! '' I could almost picture her wanting to try some of the chains herself. `` And we ate lunch at the Blood and Guts café - you should give birth come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would let liked to Tania, but I do n't think my bosses would have let me. '' I could get word her yawn it must have 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 earphone was handed to Janet. `` Hello ? Who 's that ? '' Janet asked cautiously.
'' howdy Janet, I take it you did n't ask Tania to phone. '' I said, dropping Tania into difficulty immediately.
'' Hello John - no I did n't. However, she did overlook you today, so I suppose I should not be too angry with her. You sound outwear. '' It was a quickly change of subject. .. but then I suppose it did ring in my voice. `` Oh just some added fun and games at work, we 're going through a feverish fourth dimension at the consequence. '' I said.
'' Do you need to mouth about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just wearisome work stuff, you would n't be concerned. So Tania liked looking around the keep then ? '' I could change the subject with the unspoilt of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the test and having to trip through traitors gate, I had to block her from looking too hard at the display, just in subject she started to criticize them ! '' She paused for a moment, as if debating with herself about something but then she finished by saying, `` I 'm dingy Gospel According to John 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 load down and arrange to return to USA, I hope Tania does n't bust you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the remainder of the care bundle that Sonja had left. I did regard drowning my sorrows in whiskey again, but contented myself with watching the idiot box for a duo of hours before stopping for the day.

I arrived at work, early for a change. If I were going to get the hammock then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a turgid car in the visitor 's space. The windowpane were dark so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the construction and took the airlift to the one-third trading floor, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to concentrate on the work, but no sooner had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the ease of the herd to the get together room.
'' If I can have your attention pleases. .. Thank you ! '' That was Clive Mortimer the Chief Executive Officer of our ramification of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a small job in the developing expanse. '' There was a humble amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of help from gamy up and Clive was the chief suspect. `` We are expecting a representative from Head Office to come today and start interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so please give him all the help you can. We 'll be starting at 11 O'clock. ``
We ambled back to our playpen feeling like sheep about to shorn of their fleece. I pitied the poor sod that inherited us. At eleven O'clock the telephone set started to ring, calling the sacrificial Charles Lamb to their slaughter.
Adam returned after his calling, he looked slightly shell-shocked, `` My god ! '' He said, `` She 's a right-hand one, looks so nice but then. .. thoroughgoing ice-queen, she 'd put the E. B. White witch to shame. '' hug drug always had a affair about Narnia ( you know The Lion, The Wiccan and the Wardrobe ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any information about the enemy is useful.
'' That person from head office, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of questions and she knows her material, but BOY ! Her position, it stinks ! '' Robert Adam said, and he was being civil !
Just then, my headphone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. Archer, will you issue forth to the get together room. '' The person hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the meeting way. I knocked on the door. .. `` Come ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just COME !'but I entered the room.
The person was sitting in a swivel chair ; its dorsum was towards me. I approached the table and stood there, I was willing to wait. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you think you should be in charge here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to realize the voice.
'' I do n't have sex if I do want to be in charge, not if I have to report to some self-important American 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 Loretta Young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the president round, she was also smiling. `` It 's good to see you as well Saint John. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the right individual for this position. '' She added.
I shook my principal, `` Who ? Me No way The person to operate this crowd needs 4 hands, one to have the chair, the other to control the political machine gun and two to consume whips in them, I 'm not the one to do it. '' I told her.
She tapped the Indian file she was holding, `` This says differently. It seems that yesterday there was a minor trouble with some chips, and you directed the squad to the problem without even thinking about it. ``
'' Yes, but it was an obvious faulting, 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 scheme, and when you are involved, the organisation have a lower failure rate. But for some understanding your predecessor failed to promote you as he should give. '' Janet said.
'' Of course he did n't, because it would sustain lost him money. '' I said emphasizing the 'him'part.
'' Plus there 's the other facet of you, your ability of keeping your backtalk shut, it 's the thing we need from a manager. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you have in mind the company needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' whoremonger ? You do n't really recognise 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 highschool up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' mamma 's the owner of the ship's company at home. '' Tania said.
'' Well I 'm the majority shareowner of the parent company. '' Janet said. .. This time I sat down in shock.
'' I do n't remember seeing your epithet on the board, and I 'm certain that the parent ship's company 's speech is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh daddy started the company in New York State, it 's just when he met my mother while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his contribution of the party when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the board, except as J.A. Williams, my maiden epithet. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Bernard Arthur Owen Williams was one of the older 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 know all the property 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 conduct yourself during an interview ? '' Janet said in an authoritative voice.
'' Maybe not, but what a way to get kindle ! '' I said and, flipping Tania 's chick up to reveal her defenseless backside, I brought my bridge player down three clock time on her flesh. `` Tania how dare. .. you come here. .. without your drawers on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm sorry daddy lavatory, but how did you eff ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my paw over her incision,
'' I 've learnt about you Tania, you 'd go nude to schoolhouse if you thought you 'd get away with it. '' I stopped fingering the girl and set her onto the priming 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 sheepish nod, `` I 'm afraid so lav, when I heard on the audio where you worked and what was happening I ordered an prompt bridle. I also suggested that we try to find a replacement. .. which was you. '' She reached out a hand to me, `` Welcome to upper direction John Lackland. ``
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 know ? No good deed of conveyance ever goes unpunished ! ``

theatrical role 2
.
Over the future, few weeks'spirit, for me, was hectic. I was shown how to running the section 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 home, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter from social Services, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the list 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 spirit and nearly my sanity. However, how can you save that in a missive. .. without it bursting into flames ?
I finally settled on a simple answer stating that I had received their letter and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the local police are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the Social religious service for equipment casualty caused by their defamation of my name. Therefore, I was going to be fairly well-heeled off.
I did take heed from Tania and Janet during that time, they had returned to America. .. It was strange to hear from them during my eventide knowing they were just finishing breakfast and getting ready for work or schoolhouse. 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 things while she was with me.
'' About going to school without wearing apparel '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing historical people today. .. and I 'm going as Lady Go prima donna ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' howdy John the Divine, I 've checked with the schooltime and they 're okay with her doing this, but she does n't hump she 's going to have to appease like that all day. '' I could hear a gasp and then more laughter from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a sawbuck for her to devolve on ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a dainty little filly, well trained and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her interpreter
'' Good at least one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to express joy aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so funny story, after Janet told her, she gave an incensed 'humph'and must bear taken cargo area of the phone.
'' Daddy whoremonger ! That is not nice ! I can be trade good as well ! ''
'' There 's no need to get on your senior high horse about it, by the way how luxuriously is your horse ? '' I asked her my humor coming out
'' It 's just the right 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 John and then script me the headphone ! ``
'' Sorry daddy John. '' Said Tania, but from the lilt in her voice, I did not think she think of it.
'' That 's O.K. Miss bloomers. '' I said ( no I did n't take it too seriously either ), and I heard her giggle away as she handed the speech sound back to Janet.
'' I do n't love who 's forged, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the telephone from Tania. That nighttime I went to bed with a smile on my font and dreaming of being Peeping Tom.

After a calendar month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a subroutine of synchronization with America of our datum as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the building burnt down we 'd be able-bodied to save up to the previous two Clarence Day.
That was when the bombshell dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex and her hubby. I was in their fallout.
The get-go foretoken I had was a local new item - 'Police have raided several local star sign today, the grounds for this are not yet known, we expect More information soon'I heard that but took no notice of it.
However, the succeeding day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm disconsolate sir, but there 's a Mrs. Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't feature an appointment '' That was my secretary Eileen.
'' What party does she represent Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk full of newspaper publisher and plan, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from social servicing, and it 's significant. '' Came the reply.
I did not cuss well not out gaudy. Therefore, they were disturbing me here now ! I suppose they were going to say that they had made a error with the varsity letter and I am still a menace to companionship ! I looked at the clock ; well at to the lowest degree I will deliver quite a little of time to get my solicitor onto their backrest when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and come in as well, I may want you to guide line. '' Eileen was quite a profligate speed-writer.
Mrs. Atchison entered the way ; she was not acting haughtily but seemed almost excusatory. I allowed her to sit down and Eileen sat behind her with pen and notepad in hand.
'' Mr. Archer, I 'm not certainly how to go about this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an accent in her voice, a slightly familiar accent.
'' Well if it to devote an excuse then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking steps against your department, I must take I did n't gestate anyone to come out in order to make me stop. .. '' I was saying, but then the spirit on her fount made me barricade. `` 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 but I do n't hump 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 part of euphony played itself in my mind, `` I keep on thought process of her day and Night. .. ``
'' amnesty '' 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 fuck why. '' I said.
She smiled slightly, `` It sounded like a firearm of ELO. '' She said.
'' It was, anyway Mrs. Atchison what is it you want to recite me. '' I said without explaining.
'' It concerns your daughter, err. .. Wendy. '' She said and paused.
'' She 's with her mother who took her to live with her boyfriend ; I 'm not allowed to see her. '' I said flatly.
'' Yes, well there is a trouble at the moment, as her only relative we need to sleep with if you 'll accept the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must admit that my first solvent was 'huh ?'Mrs. Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did listen 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 have been shouting 'YES, YES !'but here I was asking questions.
'' wellspring Wendy 's been taken into care after both her mother and step-father were arrested yesterday. '' Mrs. Atchison explained, `` We 've tried to find any other relation on your ex-wife 's side, but none of them wanted to accept her. ``
I shook my head, `` No, they did n't like her either, for the first grounds she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her family, like her, was foreign to the extreme ! `` But I will necessitate Wendy ; I 'm surprised that your department bothered to ask me. '' I said.
'' I must admit that the confluence was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the honcho said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the forgetful pale yellow. '' I said making her smiling,
'' Yes, I must let in that you do n't appear to be the person I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm good-for-naught, I should n't have said that. '' She looked back pointedly at Eileen who was still writing away furiously.
I took the hint. `` I think that 's all I need Eileen, you would n't beware getting some tea for Mrs Atchison and myself would you ? '' I asked her.
She looked up and smiled, `` Certainly Mr. bowman, milk and sugar ? '' She asked Mrs. Atchison.
'' milk and two sweeteners please, miss. .. ''
'' Call me Eileen, I 'll be some moment. '' Eileen said.
'' send for 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 exchange PI, my late agency was in a Ithiel Town in U.S.A., you may take in heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that accent was associate. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're quickly. I 'm sorry to say that I do n't personally eff Mrs. Bobby Jones, but we are aware of your. .. fundamental 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 signboard of vilification, it 's mainly mental but there is a stage of physical abuse as well. '' She said watching me closely.
choler flowed through me, and showed on my face, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her head, `` I 'm not sure, she does n't want to mouth about it, we 've have medical hoi polloi examine her but she 's be beaten, there is grounds of anal penetration but she still has her virginal membrane, for the liveliness of me I do n't know why. '' I knew I was shocked at her outspokenness but my nitty-gritty went out to Wendy. ``
'' Where is she at the moment ? '' I asked Martha.
'' She 's at the infirmary still ; we did n't hold anywhere to place her for the dead time. If you wish to see her I can acquire 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 hospital 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 secretarial assistant she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within mo both Adam and Samantha Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight in, `` I 'm drab to do this to you both but I 've got a personal problem that 's just arisen, I need you both to plow for me. '' I said. They both agreed that they would avail 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 Mortimer, `` Hi Robert Clive, I 'm going to necessitate some time off I have a kin emergency to deal with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too much on our plate at the moment to let you just drop everything. You ca n't go. '' Clive said.
'' I 'm sorry you feel that way Clive, I had hoped that what I 've done had helped the ship's company, but now I need to. .. '' But Clive interrupted me.
'' Look Johnny the resolution 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 authority I called to Eileen, `` If Clive calls you do n't make love 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 worry ? '' She asked.
'' fountainhead it appears that I 'm not allowed to possess personal problems, the company comes first. '' I told her.
'' And you are with me because. .. '' She prompted.
'' I 'm with you because my daughter comes first. She needs me Sir Thomas More than the party does, other people 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 expect any difficulty when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a moment. If Clive was the complete bastard that I thought he might be then I could have a bun in the oven our burly security department hoi polloi would try to end me. I pressed the second base push. `` It could be that we 'll need to use the fire escape instead of the front door, do you feature a car William Christopher Handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the vertebral column parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a telly show as Martha and I broke the plastic restraining time on the flak doors, hearing the alarm sound 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 principal road.

'' This is existing ! Nobody told me that Social religious 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 guess we can allow that, I 'll see what I can do. '' Martha confided to me and escorted me to the paediatric wards.
We arrived at the nanny 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's sire, the nursemaid looked up surprised. `` I 'm sorry who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nurse directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to come up it was empty, and then the Sister in rush of the ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's ill-timed, I 've identified myself and this valet de chambre, why have n't we been taken to Wendy ? '' She asked.
I spoke up, `` Is there something haywire with my girl ? '' The sister looked at me as if surprised I could speak.
'' Not with your girl as such, but with her knowledge of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the rumor that I 'm some type of pervert then I have to tell apart 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 impression that you 're dead ! '' I looked at her open mouthed.
'' I can assure you that I 'm perfectly healthy, now why does Wendy suppose this ? '' I asked her.
The Sister shook her drumhead, `` I do n't know, but when we told her that her father was coming to pick her up she started to cry, we tried to enjoin her it was n't the man that her female parent was living with and all she would say is 'but pa is dead !''' The Sister replied.
Martha took mastery. `` I suggest you bring Wendy into this room and we 'll see how she reacts. '' The sis looked slightly dubious about that but went away.
A nanny brought a Young young woman into the elbow room 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 resolve who I was, she walked to me and then looked at my nerve, she was biting her broken lip as if trying to make up her mind.
'' You look like my daddy did. '' She said softly.
'' I am your papa Wendy. '' I said, also quietly but she shook her head.
'' You ca n't be ! Mummy told me that pa was all in a long sentence ago. '' She said in a decisive tone.
'' But your mummy and I broke up several geezerhood 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 bit I 'm sure you would n't think that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not desire to upset her.
She shook her head a sat down on a chairwoman, not looking at anyone. I gave a worried glance at Martha who just shook her head slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mummy said. .. dad. .. papa ? '' 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 long, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were rip in my eyes.
'' Why did you leave us ? '' Wendy asked me.
'' I did n't, your mother told me that she did n't want to abide 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 institutionalize me away again will you ? '' Wendy asked me through tear-laden eyes.
I got up from my ass and approached my daughter, I went down onto my articulatio genus so that my forefront was even with hers and I looked into her eyes. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not have to leave me, unless you wish to. '' I said to her, while crossing my heart with a finger - something I had jokingly done when she had been with me.
She watched my bridge player rather than my nerve and then she smiled, `` DADDY ! '' she said and threw her implements of war around my cervix. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm satisfy that Wendy has accepted her Fatherhood and will give up her into his care. '' She said formally, if you would n't mind bringing Wendy 's clothes and I 'll stimulate a parole with the sis in accusation. '' Martha said taking the nurse out of the room leaving me with my girl .
