My Girl Wendy ( 0 )
FantasyMY DAUGHTER WENDY
Part 1
Please note this is a sequel of my little Hitchhiker, but starts off tedious - very slow, the first gear few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at employment that Monday to uproar. mass were rushing around like headless chickens ! I got to my cubical and noticed that Bob 's door - my doorway is always exposed ! - Was firmly closed and the screen drawn. I looked to my fellow 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 stead - The hearer are going through Bob 's Word looking at everything.
'' dickhead ! Where 's that going to leave 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 luck, they would be on the woodworking plane back to U.S. to transmit on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his bureau, along with a couple of police force officers and a man in a gray suit. It seems that Bob 's dreams of retiring rich may sustain hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the inadequate son of a bitch who would be taking over Bob 's shoes, But we carried on as per normal, although I did get hold myself fielding several inquiries from staff - to be dependable 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 proclamation that we would have to attend a staff meeting on Tuesday, all I wanted to do was to go home plate and fall onto my bed.
The phone rang as I entered the business firm I answered it.
'' You do n't voice well papa John ! '' Tania 's welcomed voice came to my ears.
'' I 'm sorry Tania, it 's just that it 's been a hectic day, but never judgement that, I thought you were going back to America today. '' I said sword lily to hear her voice anyway.
'' Oh mamma wanted to do some sightseeing - she took me to the London Dungeon, it was smashing, all the consistence and the Sir Ernst Boris Chain. .. I enjoyed it so much ! '' I could almost see her wanting to try some of the Chain herself. `` And we ate lunch at the Blood and bowel café - you should have come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would get liked to Tania, but I do n't think my party boss would have let me. '' I could hear her yawn it must make been a long day for her as well.
'' I know daddy whoremonger, oops, here 's mommy. '' Then a faint `` It 's for you. .. '' as the phone was handed to Janet. `` hello ? Who 's that ? '' Janet asked cautiously.
'' how-do-you-do Janet, I take it you did n't ask Tania to phone. '' I said, dropping Tania into trouble immediately.
'' hi can - no I did n't. However, she did miss you today, so I suppose I should not be too furious with her. You sound tired. '' It was a spry change of subject. .. but then I suppose it did echo in my interpreter. `` Oh just some added fun and game at work, we 're going through a hectic time at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you want to sing about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just drill workplace stuff, you would n't be interested. So Tania liked looking around the dungeon then ? '' I could commute the subject with the best of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the trial and having to journey through double-crosser gate, I had to stop her from looking too hard at the showing, just in case she started to knock them ! '' She paused for a moment, as if debating with herself about something but then she finished by saying, `` I 'm deplorable whoremonger there 's a lot I 've got to do, I 'll see you again sometime. ``
'' That 's delicately Janet, I know you 've got to pack and arrange to rejoin to America, I hope Tania does n't fag out you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the difference of the aid package that Sonja had left. I did turn over drowning my sorrows in whiskey again, but contented myself with watching the changeling box for a duo of hours before stopping for the day.
I arrived at work, early for a alteration. If I were going to get the sack then I would at to the lowest degree go fighting.
I noticed a prominent car in the visitor 's blank space. The windows were morose so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the building and took the lift to the third floor, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to boil down on the workplace, but no Oklahoman 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 have your attention supplication. .. thank you ! '' That was Clive Roger de Mortimer the Chief Executive Officer of our branch of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a small problem in the development area. '' There was a small amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of help from mellow up and Clive was the headman defendant. `` We are expecting a representative from drumhead billet to go far today and start interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so delight give him all the help you can. We 'll be starting at 11 O'clock. ``
We ambled back to our penitentiary feeling like sheep about to shorn of their wool. I pitied the poor sod that inherited us. At eleven O'clock the telephone 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 one, looks so courteous but then. .. perfect ice-queen, she 'd put the ashen witch to shame. '' Adam always had a matter about Narnia ( you know The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any selective information about the enemy is useful.
'' That soul from heading office, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of question and she knows her stuff, but BOY ! Her attitude, it stinks ! '' Robert Adam said, and he was being polite !
Just then, my phone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. Archer, will you come to the meeting elbow room. '' The somebody hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the meeting room. I knocked on the door. .. `` Come ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just ejaculate !'but I entered the room.
The person was sitting in a swivel chairwoman ; its rear was towards me. I approached the table and stood there, I was uncoerced to wait. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you imagine you should be in bursting charge here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to recognize the voice.
'' I do n't sleep together if I do desire to be in care, not if I have to report to some self-important American language 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 unseasoned girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair round, she was also smiling. `` It 's honorable to see you as well trick. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the right person for this attitude. '' She added.
I shook my oral sex, `` Who ? Me No way The person to see this gang needs 4 custody, one to curb the chairman, the other to hold 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 file she was holding, `` This says differently. It seems that yesterday there was a small trouble 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 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 Indian file, your gens keeps coming up in our systems, and when you are involved, the systems have a depress nonstarter rate. But for some reason your predecessor failed to promote you as he should have. '' Janet said.
'' Of form he did n't, because it would have lost him money. '' I said emphasizing the 'him'part.
'' Plus there 's the early aspect of you, your ability of keeping your mouth shut, it 's the affair we need from a manager. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you intend the company needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' John ? You do n't really make love 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.
'' mama 's the owner of the company at house. '' Tania said.
'' fountainhead I 'm the majority shareholder of the parent caller. '' Janet said. .. This time I sat down in shock.
'' I do n't call up seeing your name on the board, and I 'm sure that the parent company 's reference is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh daddy started the society in New York State Department, it 's just when he met my mother while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his share of the fellowship when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the plank, except as J.A. Tennessee Williams, my maiden name. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. 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 daddy privy ! I do n't know all the post 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. 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 fired ! '' I said and, flipping Tania 's bird up to reveal her naked backside, I brought my hired hand 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 distressing pop John the Divine, 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 female child and set her onto the ground on unsteady pegleg. 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 sound recording where you worked and what was happening I ordered an quick hindrance. I also suggested that we try to find a replacement. .. which was you. '' She reached out a manus to me, `` Welcome to upper direction St. John the Apostle. ``
I looked up to the ceiling `` Why me nobleman ? What did I do wrong ? '' I said to the air, but I accepted her hand and shook it.
Janet just smiled at me, `` Why John did n't you know ? No good deed ever goes unpunished ! ``

.
Over the next, few weeks'spirit, for me, was feverish. I was shown how to running the department for tangible instead of just being a cog in the wheels. I wished that Janet had chosen person else for the job, but then after a bit everything just seemed to 'click'into shoes, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter from mixer serving, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the leaning that showed I was a hazard 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 girl, my life and nearly my sanity. However, how can you drop a line that in a varsity letter. .. without it bursting into flame ?
I finally settled on a elementary reply stating that I had received their letter and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the local police force are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the sociable Services for damages caused by their calumniation of my name. Therefore, I was going to be fairly well-heeled off.
I did get wind from Tania and Janet during that time, they had returned to America. .. It was strange to listen from them during my evenings knowing they were just finishing breakfast and getting ready for employment or school. One man 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 clothes '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing historic 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 school and they 're approve with her doing this, but she does n't know she 's going to possess 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 knight for her to ride ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice fiddling filly, well coach and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her voice
'' trade good at least one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to laugh aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so odd, after Janet told her, she gave an indignant 'humph'and must suffer taken wait of the phone.
'' papa whoremonger ! That is not nice ! I can be practiced as well ! ''
'' There 's no need to get on your mellow horse about it, by the way how high is your horse cavalry ? '' I asked her my wittiness coming out
'' It 's just the rightfulness size. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you come over here to see out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to John and then script me the phone ! ``
'' Sorry daddy Gospel According to John. '' Said Tania, but from the lilt in her voice, I did not think she meant it.
'' That 's alright Miss 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 unfit, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the earpiece from Tania. That dark I went to bed with a smile on my boldness and dream of being Peeping Tom.
After a month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a subprogram of synchroneity with US of our data as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the building burnt down we 'd be able-bodied to pull through up to the previous two days.
That was when the bombshell dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex and her husband. I was in their fallout.
The first sign I had was a local new item - 'Police have raided several topical anaesthetic houses 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 side by side day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm pitiful sir, but there 's a Mrs. Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't bear an engagement '' That was my secretary Eileen.
'' What caller does she represent Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk replete of theme and design, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from mixer Services, and it 's important. '' Came the reply.
I did not curse well not out loud. Therefore, they were disturbing me here now ! I suppose they were going to say that they had made a misapprehension with the alphabetic character and I am still a threat to society ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will suffer plenty of time to get my solicitor onto their backs when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and descend in as well, I may need you to shoot 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. Sagittarius the Archer, I 'm not sure how to approach this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an accent in her interpreter, a slightly familiar accent.
'' Well if it to give an apology then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking measure against your department, I must admit I did n't wait anyone to look in order to wee me halt. .. '' I was saying, but then the spirit on her face made me lay off. `` But. .. that 's not why you 're here, is it ? '' I finished by saying.
She looked back at Eileen and then shook her brain. `` 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 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 part of music played itself in my head, `` I keep on thought of her day and night. .. ``
'' free pardon '' Mrs. Atchison said I had not realized that I had spoken aloud.
'' I 'm dreary 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 tell 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 instant, as her only relative we need to have it away if you 'll accept the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must admit that my offset answer was 'huh ?'Mrs. Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did hear 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 throw 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 witness any other relation on your ex-wife 's English, but none of them wanted to accept her. ``
I shook my head, `` No, they did n't like her either, for the first off cause she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her kinsperson, like her, was strange to the extremum ! `` But I will take Wendy ; I 'm surprise that your section bothered to ask me. '' I said.
'' I must admit that the merging was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the chief said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the short pale yellow. '' I said making her smile,
'' Yes, I must admit that you do n't appear to be the someone I 've read about in the Indian file. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm sorry, I should n't have said that. '' She looked back pointedly at Eileen who was still writing away furiously.
I took the tip. `` I think that 's all I need Eileen, you would n't bear in mind getting some tea for Mrs Atchison and myself would you ? '' I asked her.
She looked up and smiled, `` Certainly Mr. archer, milk and moolah ? '' She asked Mrs. Atchison.
'' Milk and two sweeteners please, fille. .. ''
'' address me Eileen, I 'll be some minutes. '' Eileen said.
'' anticipate 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. bowman that I 'm an exchange operative, my old place was in a townsfolk in U.S.A., you may have heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that speech pattern was familiar. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're quick. I 'm sorry to say that I do n't personally lie with Mrs. Robert Tyre 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 account about Wendy ? '' I asked her.
'' There are some signaling of abuse, it 's mainly mental but there is a degree of forcible abuse as well. '' She said watching me closely.
Anger flowed through me, and showed on my brass, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her top dog, `` I 'm not certain, she does n't need to talk about it, we 've have health check people examine her but she 's be beaten, there is grounds of anal retentive penetration but she still has her Hymen, for the life of me I do n't make out why. '' I knew I was shocked at her forthrightness but my warmheartedness went out to Wendy. ``
'' Where is she at the bit ? '' I asked Martha.
'' She 's at the hospital still ; we did n't give anywhere to lay her for the short time. If you wish to see her I can take you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the way carrying two cups, I was half tempted to sink 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 minutes both Adam and Samantha Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight person in, `` I 'm good-for-nothing 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 focusing I was thinking about going, and they left discussing it.
I then dialed Clive Roger de Mortimer, `` Hi Clive, I 'm going to need some time off I have a crime syndicate emergency to deal with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too much on our denture at the import to let you just drop everything. You ca n't go. '' Robert Clive said.
'' I 'm distressing 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. As we left my place I called to Eileen, `` If Baron Clive of Plassey calls you do n't know 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 have personal problems, the fellowship 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 troupe does, former 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 consider, and do you gestate any trouble when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a moment. If Baron Clive was the complete love child that I thought he might be then I could expect our strapping security mass would try to stop me. I pressed the second base button. `` It could be that we 'll need to use the attack flight instead of the front door, 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 clipping on the fervidness door, hearing the alarm phone as we ran down the metal fire escape and then to the car park, jumping into her car and screeching off with security safety running behind us. We both laughed as we turned onto the main road.
'' This is existing ! Nobody told me that Social military 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 call up 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 nanny 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's father, the nanny looked up surprised. `` I 'm lamentable who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nurse directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to find it was abandon, and then the Sister in charge 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 wrong with my daughter ? '' The Sister looked at me as if surprised I could speak.
'' Not with your daughter as such, but with her knowledge of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the rumor that I 'm some type of deviant then I have to tell you. .. '' I started but the baby stopped me there and then.
'' It 's not your personal life sentence I 'm on about, well in a way it is. Wendy is under the impression that you 're short ! '' I looked at her undefended mouthed.
'' I can promise you that I 'm perfectly healthy, now why does Wendy consider this ? '' I asked her.
The Sister shook her read/write head, `` I do n't know, but when we told her that her father was coming to piece 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 dad is dead !''' The Sister replied.
Martha took restraint. `` I suggest you bring Wendy into this 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 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 decide who I was, she walked to me and then looked at my face, she was biting her lower lip as if trying to pee-pee 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 ! mama told me that daddy was suddenly a hanker clip ago. '' She said in a decisive tone.
'' But your mummy and I broke up several class ago. ``
'' No, mummy told me that you did n't desire to see us again, that was why you threw us out and we moved in with HIM ! '' There was a tonus to that live on piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the here and now I 'm sure you would n't trust that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not want to upset her.
She shook her school principal a sat down on a hot seat, not looking at anyone. I gave a vex glimpse at Martha who just shook her promontory 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 longsighted, 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 female parent told me that she did n't need to continue 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 transmit me away again will you ? '' Wendy asked me through tear-laden eyes.
I got up from my posterior and approached my girl, I went down onto my knees so that my headspring was level with hers and I looked into her eyes. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not bear to allow me, unless you wish to. '' I said to her, while crossing my meat with a finger - something I had jokingly done when she had been with me.
She watched my hand rather than my face and then she smiled, `` dad ! '' she said and threw her arms around my neck. 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 guardianship. '' She said formally, if you would n't mind bringing Wendy 's wearing apparel and I 'll have a word with the sis in rush. '' Martha said taking the nurse out of the room leaving me with my daughter .
