MY girl WENDY

Part 1

Please note this is a law of continuation of my little Hitchhiker, but starts off slow - very slow, the commencement few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at work that Monday to uproar. People were rushing around like headless chickens ! I got to my cube-shaped and noticed that Bob 's room access - my threshold is always open ! - Was firmly closed and the screen drawn. I looked to my workfellow, cristal, and mouthed 'What 's going on ?'
He looked at me, `` fountainhead office ! That is what ! Somebody 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the place - The hearer are going through Bob 's books looking at everything.
'' Shit ! Where 's that going to leave us ? '' I asked. However, Robert Adam just shrugged his shoulder joint. I spent the rest of the sunup shifting through some paperwork, and thinking about Tania and Janet. With any portion, they would be on the aeroplane back to America to impart on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his office, along with a distich of police officers and a man in a Thomas Gray suit. It seems that Bob 's dreams of retiring rich may ingest hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the poor asshole who would be taking over Bob 's horseshoe, But we carried on as per rule, although I did feel myself fielding respective inquiries from stave - to be fair 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 receive to attend a faculty meeting on Tuesday, all I wanted to do was to go home and cliff onto my bed.
The telephone set rang as I entered the firm I answered it.
'' You do n't fathom well daddy John the Divine ! '' Tania 's receive voice came to my ears.
'' I 'm deplorable 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 today. '' I said glad to hear her voice anyway.
'' Oh mum wanted to do some rubber-necking - she took me to the Jack London Dungeon, it was smashing, all the soundbox and the Chain. .. I enjoyed it so a lot ! '' I could almost depict her wanting to try some of the chains herself. `` And we ate dejeuner at the Blood and Guts café - you should induce come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would have liked to Tania, but I do n't intend my party boss would take let me. '' I could hear her oscitancy it must take in been a long day for her as well.
'' I know daddy John, oops, here 's mum. '' Then a faint `` 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.
'' how-do-you-do lavatory - no I did n't. However, she did miss you today, so I suppose I should not be too wild with her. You sound tired. '' It was a spry modification of subject. .. but then I suppose it did echo in my voice. `` Oh just some added fun and games at work, we 're going through a hectic time at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you need to speak about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just boring oeuvre stuff, you would n't be interested. So Tania liked looking around the dungeon then ? '' I could interchange the matter with the best of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the trial run and having to travel through traitors gate, I had to stop her from looking too hard at the exhibit, just in typeface she started to knock them ! '' She paused for a instant, as if debating with herself about something but then she finished by saying, `` I 'm lamentable John there 's a lot I 've got to do, I 'll see you again sometime. ``
'' That 's all right Janet, I know you 've got to pack and arrange to pass to America, I hope Tania does n't wear you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the remainder of the care packet that Sonja had left. I did deal drowning my sorrow in whiskey again, but contented myself with watching the retard box for a dyad of hours before stopping for the day.

I arrived at work, early for a change. If I were going to get the sack then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a great car in the visitor 's outer space. The Windows were non-white so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the building and took the rhytidoplasty to the third base floor, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to boil down on the work, but no Oklahoman had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the rest of the herd to the meeting room.
'' If I can own your attention pleases. .. Thank you ! '' That was Clive Mortimer the Chief Executive officer of our branch of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a low problem in the development domain. '' There was a little amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of supporter from higher up and Clive was the headman suspect. `` We are expecting a spokesperson from fountainhead Office to arrive today and start interviewing for Bob 's permutation, so please give 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 fleece. I pitied the poor sod that inherited us. At 11 O'clock the phone started to ring, calling the sacrificial lamb to their slaughter.
Robert Adam returned after his calling, he looked slightly shell-shocked, `` My god ! '' He said, `` She 's a right one, looks so nice but then. .. pure ice-queen, she 'd put the E. B. White witch to disgrace. '' Adam always had a thing about Narnia ( you know The king of beasts, The Witch and the closet ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any information about the enemy is useful.
'' That soul from head position, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of questions and she knows her stuff, but BOY ! Her posture, it stinks ! '' Adam said, and he was being polite !
Just then, my headphone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. Archer, will you make out to the meeting room. '' The soul hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the coming together room. I knocked on the threshold. .. `` number ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just come !'but I entered the room.
The somebody was sitting in a swivel chair ; its cover was towards me. I approached the table and stood there, I was uncoerced to look. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you mean you should be in charge here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to greet the voice.
'' I do n't experience if I do want to be in armorial bearing, not if I have to describe to some arrogant American English who thinks she can stamp everyone about. .. Janet ! '' I said smiling as I spoke the last.
'' There you are mommy ! 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 young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair unit of ammunition, she was also smiling. `` It 's in force to see you as well lav. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the rightfulness somebody for this position. '' She added.
I shook my head, `` Who ? Me No way The person to control this crowd needs 4 bridge player, one to hold up the professorship, the other to hold the auto gun and two to bear whiplash 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 tyke 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 centering. '' I said,
'' That 's what we need, a coordinator who knows what he 's doing. I have been going through our files, your name keeps coming up in our system of rules, and when you are involved, the arrangement have a down nonstarter rate. But for some reason your herald failed to promote you as he should hold. '' 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 early aspect of you, your ability of keeping your lip shut, it 's the thing we need from a manager. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you signify the ship's company needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' john ? You do n't really make out 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 senior high school up in the company. .. '' I began but then Tania started to giggle away. “. .. Very high up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' mammy 's the owner of the company at household. '' Tania said.
'' wellspring I 'm the legal age shareholder of the parent caller. '' Janet said. .. This time I sat down in electrical shock.
'' I do n't recall seeing your name on the display board, and I 'm certain that the parent fellowship 's address is n't that Funiculaireville place. '' I said
Janet smiled, `` Oh daddy started the company in New York land, it 's just when he met my mother while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his percentage of the caller when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the panel, except as J.A. Williams, my maiden over figure. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Williams was one of the aged 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 papa Saint John the Apostle ! I do n't have it off all the plaza 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 knee joint anyway.
'' Mr. Archer do you intend this is the secure way to lead 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 disclose her naked back end, I brought my mitt down three time on her flesh. `` Tania how daring. .. you come here. .. without your knee pants on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm distressing dad can, but how did you know ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my handwriting over her snatch,
'' I 've learnt about you Tania, you 'd go raw 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 sheeplike nod, `` I 'm afraid so John, when I heard on the audio where you worked and what was happening I ordered an quick check. I also suggested that we try to rule a replacement. .. which was you. '' She reached out a manus to me, `` Welcome to upper direction Saint John. ``
I looked up to the ceiling `` Why me overlord ? 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 sleep together ? No good title ever goes unpunished ! ``

Part 2
.
Over the next, 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 person else for the job, but then after a bit everything just seemed to 'click'into property, and started to run smoothly.
Then I received a letter from Social Services, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the listing that showed I was a endangerment to children by chance event, after looking in to it they have cleared me and they apologized for any inconvenience that this had caused me ( ! )
I was tempted to differentiate them exactly what it had cost me, my girl, my biography and nearly my sanity. However, how can you write that in a alphabetic character. .. 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 anaesthetic police are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the Social service for damages caused by their defamation of my public figure. Therefore, I was going to be fairly well-to-do off.
I did try 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 school day. One piece was memorable.
'' I thought about what you said that day at your space. '' 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 school without clothes '' Tania said still giggling, `` Well we 're doing historical hoi polloi today. .. and I 'm going as Lady Go diva ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' howdy privy, I 've checked with the schooltime and they 're okeh with her doing this, but she does n't sleep together she 's going to cause to stay like that all day. '' I could find out a gasp and then more laughter from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a horse cavalry for her to sit ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice trivial filly, well trained and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her voice
'' Good at least one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to laugh aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so peculiar, after Janet told her, she gave an umbrageous 'humph'and must have taken detainment of the phone.
'' Daddy John ! That is not nice ! I can be soundly as well ! ''
'' There 's no pauperism to get on your mellow horse about it, by the way how senior high is your horse ? '' I asked her my wittiness coming out
'' It 's just the right size. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you come over here to recover out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to John and then hired hand me the sound ! ``
'' Sorry daddy John. '' Said Tania, but from the lilt in her voice, I did not guess she meant it.
'' That 's alright Miss breeches. '' I said ( no I did n't take it too seriously either ), and I heard her giggle away as she handed the earphone back to Janet.
'' I do n't do it who 's forged, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the phone from Tania. That dark I went to bed with a smile on my face and dream of being Peeping Tom.

After a month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a routine of synchrony with America of our data as well as instituting off-site saves of our databases, so that if the edifice burnt down we 'd be able to bring through up to the old two days.
That was when the bombshell dropped on me. Actually, it dropped on my ex-wife and her husband. I was in their fallout.
The first base sign I had was a local new token - 'Police have raided various topical anaesthetic houses today, the grounds for this are not yet known, we expect more info soon'I heard that but took no notification 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 deliver an appointment '' That was my secretary Eileen.
'' What fellowship does she defend Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk full of composition and program, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from Social Services, and it 's important. '' Came the reply.
I did not swear well not out loud. Therefore, they were disturbing me here now ! I suppose they were going to say that they had made a mistake with the letter and I am still a threat to society ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will bear plenty of sentence to get my solicitor onto their back when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and come in as well, I may need you to necessitate note. '' Eileen was quite a immobile 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 go about this. '' Mrs. Atchison started ; there was an accent in her vocalization, a slightly companion accent.
'' Well if it to afford an apologia then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking steps against your department, I must take I did n't await anyone to appear in social club to make me arrest. .. '' I was saying, but then the look on her brass 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 mind. `` I 'm afraid I 'm new to this surface 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 piece of music of music played itself in my mind, `` 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 know why. '' I said.
She smiled slightly, `` It sounded like a while of ELO. '' She said.
'' It was, anyway Mrs. Atchison what is it you want to assure me. '' I said without explaining.
'' It concerns your daughter, err. .. Wendy. '' She said and paused.
'' She 's with her mother who took her to subsist with her boyfriend ; I 'm not allowed to see her. '' I said flatly.
'' Yes, well there is a job at the mo, as her only congener we need to get it on if you 'll assume the obligation of looking after her. '' I must take that my showtime answer was 'huh ?'Mrs. Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did hear what you said but I do n't empathize. 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 mother and step-father were arrested yesterday. '' Mrs. Atchison explained, `` We 've tried to chance 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 reason she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her house, like her, was unusual 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 encounter was interesting. '' Mrs. Atchison admitted, `` But the chief said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the unretentive stalk. '' I said making her grinning,
'' Yes, I must admit that you do n't appear to be the soul I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm sorry, I should n't induce 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. Sagittarius, milk and sugar ? '' She asked Mrs. Atchison.
'' milk and two sweeteners please, Miss. .. ''
'' Call me Eileen, I 'll be some minutes. '' Eileen said.
'' prognosticate 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 substitution private investigator, my previous power was in a town in America, you may take in heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that idiom was familiar. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're quick. I 'm distressing 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 history about Wendy ? '' I asked her.
'' There are some signboard of abuse, it 's mainly mental but there is a degree of physical ill-usage as well. '' She said watching me closely.
Anger flowed through me, and showed on my nerve, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her head, `` I 'm not sure, she does n't want to lecture about it, we 've receive health check people examine her but she 's be beaten, there is evidence of anal penetration but she still has her hymen, for the living of me I do n't know why. '' I knew I was shocked at her frankness but my heart 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 place her for the short clock time. If you wish to see her I can rent you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the room carrying two cups, I was half tempted to drop everything and run to the infirmary there and then, but I just could not. .. could I ?
'' Eileen, I 've got to go, can you get Adam and Sam in here please. '' I asked my escritoire she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within transactions both Adam and Samantha Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them heterosexual in, `` I 'm pitiful 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 centering I was thinking about going, and they left discussing it.
I then dialed Clive Mortimer, `` Hi Clive, I 'm going to need some time off I have a family emergency to deal with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too much on our scale at the moment to let you just spend everything. You ca n't go. '' Baron Clive of Plassey said.
'' I 'm good-for-naught 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 Reb the reply is NO. Got it N. O now how 's that trouble 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 government agency I called to Eileen, `` If Clive 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 worry ? '' She asked.
'' well it appears that I 'm not allowed to deliver personal problems, the fellowship comes first. '' I told her.
'' And you are with me because. .. '' She prompted.
'' I 'm with you because my girl comes first. She needs me more than the company does, other hoi polloi can do my job here, but only I can serve my daughter. '' I told her.
She nodded and smiled, `` That 's what I was lead to trust, and do you await any trouble when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a moment. If Clive was the complete illegitimate that I thought he might be then I could have a bun in the oven our burly security people would try to break me. I pressed the second floor clit. `` It could be that we 'll involve to use the ardour safety valve instead of the breast door, do you bear a car W. C. Handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the back parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a goggle box show as Martha and I broke the plastic restraining clip on the fire threshold, hearing the alarm speech sound as we ran down the metal flame escape and then to the car park, jumping into her car and screeching off with security safety device running behind us. We both laughed as we turned onto the primary road.

'' This is existing ! cypher told me that sociable armed service could be so arouse. '' 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 permit that, I 'll see what I can do. '' Martha confided to me and escorted me to the paediatric wards.
We arrived at the nurse 's desk and Martha introduced me as Wendy 's father, the nurse looked up surprised. `` I 'm no-account who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nurse directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to get it was empty, and then the sister in direction of the ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's amiss, I 've identified myself and this gentleman, 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 surprise I could speak.
'' Not with your daughter as such, but with her noesis of you. '' She stated flatly.
'' If it 's the hearsay that I 'm some case of pervert then I have to evidence you. .. '' I started but the baby 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 belief that you 're dead ! '' I looked at her open mouthed.
'' I can ensure you that I 'm perfectly healthy, now why does Wendy think this ? '' I asked her.
The Sister shook her head teacher, `` 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 evidence her it was n't the man that her female parent was living with and all she would say is 'but daddy is perfectly !''' The baby replied.
Martha took ascendency. `` I suggest you bring Wendy into this elbow room and we 'll see how she reacts. '' The baby looked slightly dubious about that but went away.
A nurse brought a Lester Willis 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 make up one's mind who I was, she walked to me and then looked at my face, she was biting her lower 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 ! momma told me that dad was dead a long time ago. '' She said in a critical tone.
'' But your ma and I broke up several class ago. ``
'' No, mamma 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 tone to that shoemaker's last piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the instant I 'm sure you would n't believe that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not want to upset her.
She shook her foreland a sat down on a chair, not looking at anyone. I gave a concern glance at Martha who just shook her head slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mommy 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 long, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were snag 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 stick around with me, she left me taking you with her. '' I said, `` Will you come back to me ? '' I asked her softly.
'' Do you 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 seat and approached my daughter, I went down onto my knees so that my nous was level with hers and I looked into her eyes. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not have to forget 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 helping hand rather than my face and then she smiled, `` DADDY ! '' she said and threw her arm around my neck opening. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm satisfy that Wendy has accepted her father and will unblock her into his charge. '' She said formally, if you would n't mind bringing Wendy 's dress and I 'll have a word with the sis in charge. '' Martha said taking the nurse out of the elbow room leaving me with my daughter .
