MY DAUGHTER WENDY

section 1

Please note this is a protraction of my little Hitchhiker, but starts off slow - very slow, the low gear few chapters are setting the scene.
I arrived at work that Mon to uproar. multitude were rushing around like headless chickens ! I got to my cubelike and noticed that Bob 's room access - my door is always open ! - Was firmly closed and the blinds drawn. I looked to my fellow worker, Adam, and mouthed 'What 's going on ?'
He looked at me, `` mind business office ! That is what ! Somebody 's put a bee up their ass and now they are swarming all over the shoes - The Auditors are going through Bob 's al-Qur'an looking at everything.
'' Shit ! Where 's that going to leave us ? '' I asked. However, X just shrugged his berm. I spent the respite of the morning shifting through some paperwork, and thinking about Tania and Janet. With any luck, they would be on the plane back to United States to carry on with their lives.
In the afternoon Bob finally appeared from his berth, along with a couple of law officers and a man in a gray courting. It seems that Bob 's dreams of retiring rich may cause hit a snag.
Which left us all wondering who was the poor bastard who would be taking over Bob 's shoes, But we carried on as per normal, although I did find myself fielding several interrogation from staff - to be honest many of which they could have worked out for themselves, but I did n't require to disappoint them.
By the end of the day I was so bore that I almost missed the declaration that we would have to attend a staff meeting on Tues, all I wanted to do was to go habitation and fall onto my bed.
The telephone set rang as I entered the household I answered it.
'' You do n't vocalize well pop John ! '' Tania 's welcome representative came to my ears.
'' I 'm sorry Tania, it 's just that it 's been a feverish day, but never mind that, I thought you were going back to US today. '' I said sword lily to hear her voice anyway.
'' Oh momma wanted to do some sightseeing - she took me to the London donjon, it was smashing, all the bodies and the string. .. I enjoyed it so much ! '' I could almost picture her wanting to try some of the chemical chain herself. `` And we ate lunch at the origin and backbone café - you should have come with us. '' She added.
I smiled, `` I would have liked to Tania, but I do n't think my bosses would have let me. '' I could discover her yawning it must possess been a yearn day for her as well.
'' I know daddy John the Divine, oops, here 's mummy. '' Then a faint `` It 's for you. .. '' as the phone was handed to Janet. `` hullo ? Who 's that ? '' Janet asked cautiously.
'' howdy Janet, I take it you did n't ask Tania to earphone. '' I said, dropping Tania into trouble immediately.
'' hello John - no I did n't. However, she did neglect you today, so I suppose I should not be too angry with her. You sound tired. '' It was a quick change of subject. .. but then I suppose it did ring in my vox. `` Oh just some added fun and plot at workplace, we 're going through a hectic metre at the moment. '' I said.
'' Do you want to talk about it ? '' Janet asked sounding all concerned.
'' No, it 's just boring work stuff and nonsense, you would n't be worry. So Tania liked looking around the donjon then ? '' I could change the subject with the advantageously of them.
Janet laughed, `` Oh yes, she enjoyed the trial and having to travel through double-crosser gate, I had to terminate her from looking too hard at the exhibits, just in case 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 order to yield to America, I hope Tania does n't have on you out too soon. Bye. '' I fixed myself something to eat, the residual of the care software that Sonja had left. I did count drowning my ruefulness in whisky again, but contented myself with watching the idiot box for a duad of hour before stopping for the day.

I arrived at oeuvre, early for a change. If I were going to get the sack then I would at least go fighting.
I noticed a large car in the visitor 's infinite. The Windows were dismal so I could not see if anyone was in the vehicle.
I entered the building and took the ski tow to the 3rd floor, finding my desk and sitting behind it. I tried to condense on the work, but no Oklahoman had I picked up my pen I was putting it down and walking with the balance of the ruck to the meeting room.
'' If I can feature your attending supplication. .. give thanks you ! '' That was Clive Mortimer the chief administrator Officer of our ramification of the company. `` Now as you know, there 's been a minuscule trouble in the maturation area. '' There was a pocket-sized amount of catcalling at that, as we knew that Bob had a bit of help from higher up and Clive was the principal suspect. `` We are expecting a representative from Head part to arrive today and start out interviewing for Bob 's replacement, so please give him all the service 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 eleven O'clock the phones 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 in good order one, looks so dainty but then. .. gross ice-queen, she 'd put the white crone to shame. '' Adam always had a thing about Narnia ( you know The Panthera leo, The Witch and the Wardrobe ? ).
'' Who 's that ? '' I asked him - any data about the enemy is useful.
'' That person from head office, it 's not a he it 's a she, asks a lot of questions and she knows her stuff, but BOY ! Her attitude, it stinks ! '' Adam said, and he was being cultivated !
Just then, my phone rang, I picked it up - `` Mr. err. .. archer, will you amount to the coming together way. '' The individual hung up, rather abruptly I thought but I got up and made my way to the confluence elbow room. I knocked on the room access. .. `` Come ! '' 'Great !'I thought 'not even come in, just COME !'but I entered the room.
The person was sitting in a swivel chair ; its vertebral column was towards me. I approached the board and stood there, I was bequeath to hold back. `` So Mr. Archer, why do you cogitate you should be in charge here. '' The woman said, but I was beginning to know the voice.
'' I do n't have it away if I do want to be in charge, not if I have to report to some self-important American 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 belly by the flying young girl.
Janet, for it was her. As she turned the chair round of golf, she was also smiling. `` It 's good to see you as well John. '' She said. `` You know I think I 've found the right hand person for this position. '' She added.
I shook my caput, `` Who ? Me No way The soul to master this gang needs 4 hands, one to hold the hot seat, the other to hold the machine gun and two to take in party whip in them, I 'm not the one to do it. '' I told her.
She tapped the data file she was holding, `` This says differently. It seems that yesterday there was a minor problem with some scrap, and you directed the team to the problem without even thinking about it. ``
'' Yes, but it was an obvious fracture, 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 files, your epithet keeps coming up in our arrangement, and when you are involved, the systems have a lower bankruptcy rate. But for some intellect your predecessor failed to promote you as he should have got. '' 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 other panorama of you, your ability of keeping your oral cavity shut, it 's the thing we need from a handler. '' Janet said.
'' We need. Do you have in mind the caller needs ? Or am I missing something ? '' I asked Janet who looked at Tania who giggled.
'' Saint John ? You do n't really experience 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 school up ? '' I queried, and Janet nodded her head.
'' Mummy 's the proprietor of the caller at home. '' Tania said.
'' Well I 'm the absolute majority shareholder of the parent company. '' Janet said. .. This time I sat down in jolt.
'' I do n't retrieve seeing your public figure on the 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 state of matter, it 's just when he met my mother while he was in Funiculaireville that he settled down there, I inherited his percentage of the society when he died, and I 'm not mentioned on the board, except as J.A. Theodore Samuel Williams, my maiden epithet. '' I thought about it and yes, J.A. Williams was one of the elder fellow member 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 pappa lavatory ! I do n't know all the billet 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. Sagittarius the Archer do you cogitate this is the honorable way to conduct yourself during an interview ? '' Janet said in an authoritative voice.
'' Maybe not, but what a way to get send away ! '' I said and, flipping Tania 's skirt up to let out her bare rear end, I brought my hired man down three fourth dimension on her flesh. `` Tania how dare. .. you come here. .. without your knee breeches on ! '' I said to the flushed-faced girl.
'' I 'm sad papa John, but how did you fuck ? '' Tania said. As I rubbed my hand over her slit,
'' I 've learnt about you Tania, you 'd go naked to shoal if you thought you 'd get away with it. '' I stopped fingering the little girl and set her onto the footing on unsteady stage. 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 audio where you worked and what was happening I ordered an immediate hitch. I also suggested that we try to determine a replacement. .. which was you. '' She reached out a hand to me, `` Welcome to upper 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 hand and shook it.
Janet just smiled at me, `` Why John did n't you experience ? No commodity title ever goes unpunished ! ``

Part 2
.
Over the next, few week'life-time, for me, was hectic. I was shown how to running the section for existent instead of just being a cog in the wheels. I wished that Janet had chosen individual 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 of the alphabet from Social divine service, it appears that on checking their databases I was on the list that showed I was a risk to children by fortuity, after looking in to it they have cleared me and they apologized for any worriment 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 publish that in a letter. .. without it bursting into flame ?
I finally settled on a dim-witted reply stating that I had received their alphabetic character and had passed it onto my solicitor who would be ensuring that the topical anaesthetic law are informed ; I later found out that he also applied to the Social Services for damages caused by their calumny of my figure. Therefore, I was going to be fairly comfortable off.
I did learn from Tania and Janet during that time, they had returned to U.S.A.. .. It was strange to learn from them during my eve 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 office. '' 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 diachronic people today. .. and I 'm going as dame Go diva ! '' She burst into laughter completely and then Janet came onto the line.
'' Hello bathroom, I 've checked with the school and they 're okay with her doing this, but she does n't bonk she 's going to ingest to last out like that all day. '' I could hear a gasp and then more laugh from Tania as this sunk in.
'' I hope you 've got a horse for her to ride ? '' I asked.
'' Oh yes a nice little filly, well aim and suitable. '' Janet said also with a lilt in her vocalization
'' Good at to the lowest degree one of them will be ! '' I said dryly which caused Janet to laugh aloud ; I heard Tania asking what was so funny, after Janet told her, she gave an indignant 'humph'and must feature taken clasp of the phone.
'' Daddy John ! That is not prissy ! I can be good as well ! ''
'' There 's no need to get on your high Equus caballus about it, by the way how gamy is your buck ? '' I asked her my humor coming out
'' It 's just the proper size of it. .. like you ! '' Tania said giggling, `` Why do n't you occur over here to receive out ? ``
'' Tania ! '' I heard Janet saying - although she was laughing away as she said it. `` Apologize to John the Divine and then hand me the earpiece ! ``
'' Sorry daddy John. '' Said Tania, but from the swing in her vocalization, I did not think she meant it.
'' That 's very well Miss Knickers. '' I said ( no I did n't call for it too seriously either ), and I heard her giggle away as she handed the phone back to Janet.
'' I do n't make love who 's worse, you or her ? '' Janet said
'' She is,"I said while hearing 'he is !'over the phone from Tania. That night I went to bed with a grinning on my face and dreaming of being Peeping Tom.

After a month more, everything was running smoothly, we had established a number of synchronization with America 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 lay aside up to the previous two Clarence Day.
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 polarity I had was a local new particular - 'Police have raided several topical anesthetic houses today, the reasons for this are not yet known, we expect more data soon'I heard that but took no notice of it.
However, the next day I was disturbed at work. `` I 'm lamentable sir, but there 's a Mrs Atchison here who wishes to see you. She does n't deliver an appointee '' That was my secretary Eileen.
'' What company does she represent Eileen ? '' I asked - I had a desk full of newspaper and programme, which I was working on,
'' Err. .. she says she 's from Social Services, and it 's significant. '' 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 fault with the alphabetic character and I am still a threat to guild ! I looked at the clock ; well at least I will have plenteousness of time to get my canvasser onto their backs when she was finished. `` Alright Eileen, send her in. .. and descend in as well, I may need you to take government note. '' Eileen was quite a riotous 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 sure how to approach this. '' Mrs Atchison started ; there was an accent in her voice, a slightly familiar accent.
'' Well if it to cave in an excuse then I 'm afraid that my solicitor is already taking footmark against your department, I must hold I did n't expect anyone to come out in order to establish me stop. .. '' I was saying, but then the smell on her expression 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 capitulum. `` I 'm afraid I 'm new to this sphere, 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 played itself in my head, `` I keep on thinking of her day and Nox. .. ``
'' 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 bit of ELO. '' She said.
'' It was, anyway Mrs Atchison what is it you want to tell me. '' I said without explaining.
'' It concerns your girl, err. .. Wendy. '' She said and paused.
'' She 's with her mother who took her to hold out with her boyfriend ; I 'm not allowed to see her. '' I said flatly.
'' Yes, well there is a problem at the here and now, as her only congeneric we need to know if you 'll accept the responsibility of looking after her. '' I must hold that my first gear answer was 'huh ?'Mrs Atchison repeated herself.
'' I did take heed what you said but I do n't interpret. Why ca n't her mother feel 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.
'' wellspring Wendy 's been taken into charge after both her female parent and step-father were arrested yesterday. '' Mrs. Atchison explained, `` We 've tried to find any former congenator 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 low grounds she marrying me, and then for leaving me. '' I explained her family line, like her, was strange to the extremum ! `` But I will engage 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 honcho said that we had to ask you. ''
'' And you were the one given the unawares straw. '' I said making her grinning,
'' Yes, I must admit that you do n't appear to be the person I 've read about in the files. '' She said and then colored up, `` I 'm sorry, I should n't get 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 mind getting some tea for Mrs. Atchison and myself would you ? '' I asked her.
She looked up and smiled, `` Certainly Mr. bowman, Milk and bread ? '' She asked Mrs. Atchison.
'' Milk and two sweetener please, Miss. .. ''
'' Call me Eileen, I 'll be some hour. '' Eileen said.
'' Call me Martha please Eileen. '' Mrs. Atchison, Martha, said.
Eileen smiled and left the way, Martha turned back to me, `` I have to say you Mr. Archer that I 'm an exchange operative, my previous part was in a town in United States, you may get heard of it. .. it 's called. .. ``
'' Funiculaireville ? '' I said smiling - yes, I knew that accent was familiar. `` How 's Janet ? ``
'' You 're ready. I 'm gloomy to say that I do n't personally know Mrs. Jones, but we are cognizant 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 sign of abuse, it 's mainly genial but there is a degree of physical contumely as well. '' She said watching me closely.
wrath flowed through me, and showed on my typeface, `` How badly has she been abused ? '' I asked.
Martha shook her straits, `` I 'm not certain, she does n't want to verbalise about it, we 've suffer medical citizenry examine her but she 's be beaten, there is grounds of anal penetration but she still has her hymen, for the biography of me I do n't know why. '' I knew I was shocked at her candor 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 sustain anywhere to point her for the short metre. If you wish to see her I can take you there now. '' She told me, just then, Eileen entered the room carrying two cupful, I was half tempted to leave out 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 disco biscuit and Sam in here please. '' I asked my secretary she nodded and went to the outer office.
Within minute both Adam and Samantha Gerard Manley Hopkins had arrived, Eileen sent them straight in, `` I 'm bad to do this to you both but I 've got a personal problem that 's just arisen, I need you both to traverse for me. '' I said. They both agreed that they would facilitate me without questioning. I showed them the job 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 need some metre off I have a home emergency to get by with. ``
'' No way ! We have got too a good deal on our shell at the consequence to let you just drop everything. You ca n't go. '' Robert Clive said.
'' I 'm sorry you feel that way Baron 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.
'' flavour greyback 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 know where I am and you do n't get it on 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.
'' wellspring it appears that I 'm not allowed to birth personal problems, the caller 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 trouble when we get to reception ? ``
I thought for a moment. If Baron Clive was the make out bastard that I thought he might be then I could expect our buirdly security department people would try to stop me. I pressed the sec base button. `` It could be that we 'll need to use the fire escape instead of the face doorway, do you have a car William Christopher Handy. '' I asked her
'' Yes, it 's in the back parking lot. '' She said.
I felt like it was a tv display as Martha and I broke the charge plate restraining clip on the fire room access, hearing the alert audio as we ran down the metal firing leak and then to the car park, jumping into her car and screeching off with security sentry go running behind us. We both laughed as we turned onto the briny road.

'' This is existing ! Nobody told me that Social armed service could be so energise. '' 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 mean we can admit 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 founder, the nurse looked up surprise. `` I 'm sorry who did you say you were ? '' She asked, when Martha persisted the nurse directed us to a side-room.
We entered the room to chance it was empty, and then the Sister in mission of the ward entered. Martha spoke up, `` What 's unseasonable, I 've identified myself and this gentleman, why have n't we been taken to Wendy ? '' She asked.
I spoke up, `` Is there something unseasonable 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 pervert then I have to secern you. .. '' I started but the sister 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 picture that you 're dead ! '' I looked at her open mouthed.
'' I can promise you that I 'm perfectly healthy, 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 tell her it was n't the man that her mother was living with and all she would say is 'but daddy 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 in question about that but went away.
A nanny brought a young girl into the room and sat beside her, Martha smiled at Wendy, `` Hello again Wendy, do you commemorate me ? '' She asked.
Wendy nodded and looked at me as if trying to resolve who I was, she walked to me and then looked at my face, she was biting her lower lip as if trying to bring in up her mind.
'' You look like my pappa did. '' She said softly.
'' I am your daddy Wendy. '' I said, also quietly but she shook her head.
'' You ca n't be ! momma told me that daddy was dead a long time ago. '' She said in a decisive tone.
'' But your mommy and I broke up several days ago. ``
'' No, mammy told me that you did n't need to see us again, that was why you threw us out and we moved in with HIM ! '' There was a tincture to that hold out piece.
'' It was n't like that Wendy, but at the consequence I 'm sure you would n't believe that. '' I said, not forcibly I did not want to turn over her.
She shook her header a sat down on a chair, not looking at anyone. I gave a disquieted glance at Martha who just shook her school principal slightly.
'' But. .. but why would mummy ? But mommy said. .. dad. .. papa ? '' 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 tenacious, I 've missed you darling. '' I said - yes there were rent 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 stay 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 transport me away again will you ? '' Wendy asked me through tear-laden eyes.
I got up from my ass and approached my daughter, I went down onto my human knee so that my head was level with hers and I looked into her eyes. `` Wendy I promise you that while I live you will not give birth to leave me, unless you wish to. '' I said to her, while crossing my pump with a finger - something I had jokingly done when she had been with me.
She watched my hand rather than my grimace and then she smiled, `` DADDY ! '' she said and threw her arms around my neck. Martha, who had been watching both of us, nodded her head.
'' I 'm gratify that Wendy has accepted her Church Father and will secrete her into his maintenance. '' She said formally, if you would n't take care bringing Wendy 's wearing apparel and I 'll have a word with the baby in charge. '' Martha said taking the nanny out of the elbow room leaving me with my girl .
