MY girl WENDY

Part 1

Please note this is a continuation of my short Hitchhiker, but starts off slow down - very slow, the first few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at work that Monday to uproar. People were rushing around like headless Gallus gallus ! I got to my cubical and noticed that Bob 's door - my door is always afford ! - Was firmly closed and the blinds drawn. I looked to my co-worker, Adam, and mouthed 'What 's going on ?'
He looked at me, `` Head office ! That is what ! individual 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the property - The Auditors are going through Bob 's books looking at everything.
'' hoot ! Where 's that going to go away us ? '' I asked. However, Adam just shrugged his articulatio humeri. I spent the rest of the morning shifting through some paperwork, and thinking about Tania and Janet. With any fate, they would be on the plane back to US to carry on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his office, along with a couple of police officeholder and a man in a gray suit. It seems that Bob 's dream of retiring plentiful may have hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the piteous illegitimate who would be taking over Bob 's place, But we carried on as per normal, although I did notice myself fielding several question from staff - to be good 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 receive to take care a staff coming together 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 go well dada John ! '' Tania 's receive voice came to my ears.
'' I 'm good-for-nothing Tania, it 's just that it 's been a hectic day, but never mind that, I thought you were going back to U.S.A. today. '' I said glad to get word her vox anyway.
'' Oh mummy wanted to do some rubber-necking - she took me to the Greater London Dungeon, it was smashing, all the bodies and the chains. .. I enjoyed it so often ! '' I could almost see her wanting to try some of the chains herself. `` And we ate dejeuner at the Blood and guts café - you should let come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would take in liked to Tania, but I do n't believe my chief would have let me. '' I could take heed her oscitancy it must have been a farseeing day for her as well.
'' I know daddy John, oops, here 's mummy. '' Then a deliquium `` It 's for you. .. '' as the phone was handed to Janet. `` hello ? 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.
'' Hello John - no I did n't. However, she did overleap you today, so I suppose I should not be too angry with her. You sound jade. '' It was a warm change of subject. .. but then I suppose it did echo in my vocalization. `` Oh just some added fun and plot at employment, we 're going through a feverish time at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you want to talk about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just irksome work stuff, you would n't be interested. So Tania liked looking around the keep then ? '' I could change the subject with the best of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the trial and having to travel through betrayer gate, I had to stop over her from looking too hard at the exhibit, just in typeface 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 sorry 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 pack and arrange to return to US, I hope Tania does n't wear you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the remainder of the precaution package that Sonja had left. I did debate drowning my ruefulness in whiskey again, but contented myself with watching the idiot box for a duad of hours before stopping for the day.

I arrived at work, early for a change. If I were going to get the dismission then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a magnanimous car in the visitor 's infinite. The windows were dark so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the construction and took the rhytidectomy to the third floor, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to boil down on the work, but no sooner had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the rest of the ruck to the meeting room.
'' If I can ingest your tending plea. .. thank you ! '' That was Robert Clive Mortimer the boss executive Officer of our branch of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a lowly trouble in the development area. '' There was a small amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of supporter from eminent up and Clive was the chieftain suspect. `` We are expecting a representative from Head bureau to go far today and depart interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so delight 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 pitiable sod that inherited us. At eleven O'clock the headphone started to ring, calling the sacrificial lambs to their slaughter.
Adam returned after his calling, he looked slightly shell-shocked, `` My god ! '' He said, `` She 's a veracious one, looks so nice but then. .. pure ice-queen, she 'd put the Theodore Harold White witch to shame. '' disco biscuit always had a affair about Narnia ( you know The Lion, The Witch and the press ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any selective information about the enemy is useful.
'' That person from drumhead function, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of inquiry and she knows her stuff, but BOY ! Her attitude, it stinks ! '' Adam said, and he was being cultured !
Just then, my telephone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. Archer, will you get along to the encounter room. '' The person hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the coming together room. 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 pivot electric chair ; its back was towards me. I approached the table and stood there, I was willing to waitress. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you suppose you should be in boot here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to spot the voice.
'' I do n't get laid if I do need to be in charge, not if I have to describe to some self-important American who thinks she can stamp 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 breadbasket by the flying Pres Young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair round, she was also smiling. `` It 's right to see you as well privy. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the right individual for this position. '' She added.
I shook my head, `` Who ? Me No way The someone to command this crowd needs 4 hands, one to keep the chair, the other to hold the machine gun and two to sustain whip in them, I 'm not the one to do it. '' I told her.
She tapped the file cabinet she was holding, `` This says differently. It seems that yesterday there was a minor job with some chipping, and you directed the squad to the problem without even thinking about it. ``
'' Yes, but it was an obvious flaw, they just had n't tested it through correctly that was all, and anyway they did the piece of work, all I did was point them in the focal point. '' I said,
'' That 's what we need, a coordinator who knows what he 's doing. I have been going through our single file, your name keeps coming up in our system, and when you are involved, the organization have a low-toned nonstarter rate. But for some reason your predecessor failed to advance you as he should have. '' Janet said.
'' Of course he did n't, because it would possess lost him money. '' I said emphasizing the 'him'part.
'' Plus there 's the other view of you, your power of keeping your mouthpiece 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.
'' can ? 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 Robert Tyre Jones and that you 're quite high up in the company. .. '' I began but then Tania started to giggle away. “. .. Very senior high school up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' mama 's the proprietor of the party at home. '' Tania said.
'' well I 'm the majority stockholder of the parent company. '' Janet said. .. This clock time I sat down in shock.
'' I do n't remember seeing your gens on the board, and I 'm certain that the parent ship's company 's destination is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh daddy started the companionship in New House of York State Department, it 's just when he met my mother 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 instrument panel, except as J.A. Williams, my initiatory epithet. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Hiram King Williams was one of the fourth-year members 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 dada toilet ! I do n't know all the place 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 genu anyway.
'' Mr. bowman do you call back this is the secure 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 doll up to reveal her raw backside, I brought my handwriting down three times on her flesh. `` Tania how dare. .. you come here. .. without your knickerbockers on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm sorry daddy John, but how did you jazz ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my hand over her incision,
'' 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 ground on unfirm 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 shamefaced nod, `` I 'm afraid so King John, when I heard on the audio where you worked and what was happening I ordered an immediate check. I also suggested that we try to retrieve a replacement. .. which was you. '' She reached out a hand to me, `` Welcome to amphetamine management John. ``
I looked up to the ceiling `` Why me lord ? What did I do wrong ? '' I said to the air, but I accepted her deal and shook it.
Janet just smiled at me, `` Why privy did n't you sleep with ? No good title ever goes unpunished ! ``

.
Over the following, few weeks'life, for me, was hectic. I was shown how to running the department for real 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 place, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter from Social divine service, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the list that showed I was a risk of infection to small fry by accident, after looking in to it they have cleared me and they apologized for any incommodiousness 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 save that in a letter. .. without it bursting into flames ?
I finally settled on a simple reply stating that I had received their alphabetic character and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the local anesthetic law are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the sociable Services for damages caused by their defamation of my figure. Therefore, I was going to be fairly comfy off.
I did hear from Tania and Janet during that time, they had returned to America. .. It was strange to hear from them during my evenings knowing they were just finishing breakfast and getting ready for work or shoal. One piece was memorable.
'' I thought about what you said that day at your situation. '' 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 shoal without wearing apparel '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing historical the great unwashed today. .. and I 'm going as Lady Go diva ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' Hello Saint John, I 've checked with the shoal and they 're okay with her doing this, but she does n't know she 's going to have to stay like that all day. '' I could hear a pant and then more laughter from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a buck for her to ride ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice little filly, well civilize and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her voice
'' commodity 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 hold of the phone.
'' Daddy John ! That is not nice ! I can be good as well ! ''
'' There 's no need to get on your senior high horse about it, by the way how gamy is your horse ? '' I asked her my humour coming out
'' It 's just the right size of it. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you occur over here to get hold out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to John and then hand me the earpiece ! ``
'' Sorry daddy John. '' Said Tania, but from the lilt in her voice, I did not think she signify it.
'' That 's alright Miss Knickers. '' I said ( no I did n't take it too seriously either ), and I heard her titter away as she handed the headphone back to Janet.
'' I do n't make out who 's uncollectible, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the sound from Tania. That Nox I went to bed with a smile on my face and dreaming of being Peeping Tom.

After a calendar month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a procedure of synchronization with United States of our datum as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the building burnt down we 'd be able to keep up to the previous two Day.
That was when the bombshell dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex and her hubby. I was in their fallout.
The first signboard I had was a local new item - 'Police have raided several local theatre today, the reasons for this are not yet known, we expect more entropy soon'I heard that but took no observance of it.
However, the next day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm sorry sir, but there 's a Mrs. Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't have an appointment '' That was my secretaire Eileen.
'' What company does she represent Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk replete of newspaper and plans, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from social serving, and it 's of import. '' Came the reply.
I did not bank well not out tawdry. Therefore, they were disturbing me here now ! I suppose they were going to say that they had made a error with the missive and I am still a menace to club ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will have plenty of sentence to get my solicitor onto their rachis when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and fall in as well, I may need you to lead distinction. '' Eileen was quite a fast speed-writer.
Mrs. Atchison entered the elbow 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 surely how to set about this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an emphasis in her interpreter, a slightly associate accent.
'' Well if it to break an apology then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking steps against your section, I must take on I did n't await anyone to appear in decree to make me stop. .. '' I was saying, but then the look on her face made me stop. `` 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 place but I do n't cognize 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 medicine played itself in my head, `` I keep on thinking of her day and night. .. ``
'' 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 make out 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 state 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 problem at the present moment, as her lone relative we need to bonk if you 'll take over the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must include that my first response was 'huh ?'Mrs. Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did hear what you said but I do n't realise. 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 care after both her female parent 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 go for her. ``
I shook my head, `` No, they did n't like her either, for the first gear reason she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her family, like her, was unknown to the extreme ! `` But I will take Wendy ; I 'm surprised that your section bothered to ask me. '' I said.
'' I must include that the group meeting was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the headman said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the forgetful stubble. '' I said making her grinning,
'' Yes, I must allow that you do n't come out to be the person I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm drab, 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 take care 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 hook please, Miss. .. ''
'' Call me Eileen, I 'll be some minutes. '' 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 assure you Mr. Archer that I 'm an exchange operative, my previous berth was in a Ithiel Town in United States, you may feature heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that dialect was conversant. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're immediate. I 'm sorry to say that I do n't personally know Mrs. 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 abuse, it 's principally mental but there is a degree of forcible abuse as well. '' She said watching me closely.
ira flowed through me, and showed on my face, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her psyche, `` I 'm not certain, she does n't want to sing about it, we 've have medical people examine her but she 's be beaten, there is grounds of anal penetration but she still has her hymen, for the animation of me I do n't know why. '' I knew I was shocked at her frankness but my spirit went out to Wendy. ``
'' Where is she at the moment ? '' I asked Martha.
'' She 's at the hospital still ; we did n't accept anywhere to place her for the shortstop time. If you wish to see her I can take you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the elbow 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 repository she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within minutes both Adam and Samantha Johns Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight in, `` I 'm sorry to do this to you both but I 've got a personal problem that 's just arisen, I need you both to continue 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 necessitate some time off I have a family pinch to manage with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too much on our plateful at the moment to let you just expend 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 company, but now I need to. .. '' But Baron Clive of Plassey interrupted me.
'' Look Johnny Reb 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 crown. As we left my office I called to Eileen, `` If Clive calls you do n't have intercourse 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 troubles ? '' She asked.
'' Well it appears that I 'm not allowed to get personal problems, the society 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 more than the company 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 hassle when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a moment. If Clive was the finish bastard that I thought he might be then I could bear our burly security people would try to stop me. I pressed the bit flooring button. `` It could be that we 'll require to use the blast escape instead of the front line doorway, do you have a car handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the back parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a television show as Martha and I broke the plastic restraining clip on the flaming threshold, hearing the alarm sound as we ran down the metallic element fervidness 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 armed service could be so exciting. '' 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 think 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 nursemaid 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's father, the nurse looked up surprised. `` I 'm sorry who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nursemaid directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to find it was vacate, and then the babe in bearing of the Montgomery Ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's wrongfulness, I 've identified myself and this gentleman, why have n't we been taken to Wendy ? '' She asked.
I spoke up, `` Is there something wrongfulness with my daughter ? '' The babe looked at me as if surprised I could speak.
'' Not with your daughter as such, but with her cognition of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the rumor that I 'm some case of deviant then I have to tell you. .. '' I started but the sister stopped me there and then.
'' It 's not your personal sprightliness I 'm on about, well in a way it is. Wendy is under the mental picture that you 're numb ! '' I looked at her unfold mouthed.
'' I can assure you that I 'm perfectly tidy, now why does Wendy think this ? '' I asked her.
The Sister shook her head, `` 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 secernate her it was n't the man that her mother was living with and all she would say is 'but pappa is utterly !''' The babe replied.
Martha took ascendance. `` 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 nursemaid brought a young girl into the room and sat beside her, Martha smiled at Wendy, `` Hello 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 look, she was biting her humiliated lip as if trying to make up her mind.
'' You look like my daddy did. '' She said softly.
'' I am your pappa Wendy. '' I said, also quietly but she shook her head.
'' You ca n't be ! mommy told me that daddy was abruptly a prospicient clip ago. '' She said in a decisive tone.
'' But your mummy and I broke up several long time ago. ``
'' No, mummy told me that you did n't require to see us again, that was why you threw us out and we moved in with HIM ! '' There was a note to that lastly piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the mo I 'm sure enough you would n't believe that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not desire to disturb her.
She shook her fountainhead a sat down on a chair, not looking at anyone. I gave a worried glimpse at Martha who just shook her head slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mama 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 hanker, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were binge 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 quell 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 stern and approached my daughter, I went down onto my knees so that my principal was level with hers and I looked into her middle. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not have to leave behind 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 manus rather than my cheek and then she smiled, `` DADDY ! '' she said and threw her arms around my cervix. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm satisfied that Wendy has accepted her father and will secrete her into his caution. '' She said formally, if you would n't bear in mind bringing Wendy 's clothes and I 'll have a word with the baby in charge. '' Martha said taking the nursemaid out of the way leaving me with my daughter .
