Once Bitten Twice Shy notes; chapter 10
Chapter 10
If you could see me while I read this chapter, there’s a big Cheshire cat-type grin smeared across the lower half of my face.

Jaz points out the senators faults, or lack off, and the preference of the mole being one of them rather than super-secretary Martha.
I just know, of all our suspects, if Martha’s the rotten link there’s no doubt we’ll be coming out of this bruised and bloody.
A formidable secretary indeed. Let’s hope it isn’t her, as a counter-measure she may do nasty things to Pete, & whoever else in the main office, instead. Continue Reading →
