Rollan Roberts Ii Wife

The following story is the subject of an upcoming episode of The

Maddox Files. To offer as many details as possible we're creating

this story as an outline, which means we probably won't have a full

finished version complete with all of the various facts and stories

that might be included in that book due to the potential legal

challenge that it could pose for copyright holders.

Any further information would most certainly be welcome. If you have

any questions or need anything else on this topic, please e-mail me.

Spilled Tea

The two characters from our last game together were not so much spill

as casually slurp. They dropped down onto their ragged bunk beds,

crossing each other's wet tresses and rolling lazily toward the

bed by the wall. But it wasn't casual. These guys were hungover and

they did not require slurring their tongues. No sir. Neither one of

them managed to fall asleep sitting on their thin mattresses and

each slept like the living dead, long before his pal had been able

to wipe up the spilled tea from his mouth.

Kiva woke up slowly, but not enough to focus on the present or his

thoughts of sleep. He was vaguely aware of what had happened, but

it didn't seem worth discussing the "memory loss" part of his

impromptu trip. There had been a collision - after all, they had

both been awake when they first arrived back at his base station, but

by then he'd had plenty of time to plan his escape.

She reached over and gently touched his shoulder, though he couldn't

help but object a little at her touch. She only smiled and moved

the hand out of his reach. As he rolled over, she gently placed her

hand under his arms and spread them wide, pressing him into his new

sitting position. He sighed, relaxed, and said just loud enough for

her to hear "Right."

They now sat, facing each other, watching each other, and acting like

normal people again. Kind of.
