Larry the Billionaire Episode 20 Sex to Africa

                Sally is a 5’5” redheaded girl from Westlake, Ohio, which is a western suburb of Cleveland.  Sally is extremely skinny and pale skinned typical of most redheaded people.  Although some girls manage to keep a small stomach but maintain curves, Sally wasn’t one of them.  Most people considered her cute but few would call her ‘hot.’  She had a garrulous upbeat temperament that endeared her to men.  At 35-years-old, she was starting to get pressure from her parents to get married but it wasn’t something she really wanted.  Sally had very rarely left Ohio and really wanted to see the world.  She told herself that if she just had one big exotic international trip, she would be content to settle down.  She looked at African Safaris and a trip to the pyramids of Egypt and wondered.  Looking at her current bank account though, it seemed like time was running out.  Her credit card debt was already decently high and she still had student loans to pay off.  One of her friends invited her out to get a drink at a bar and she immediately agreed. Over drinks, she expressed her frustration with her friend about how she wanted to see the world.  The friend responded, “Well, that’s what everyone says.  The problem is, people wait their whole lives to go on these big trips but then never do them.  You’re not going to be the first person to ever put off the husband and kids in the hope that they will travel the world and then find out that they never pull the trigger on that so then they decide to settle down.”

                Her friend was married with two kids.  Sally wondered if she was talking about herself.  She sighed and acquiesced, “I guess you’re right.  It’s just at this point, aside from really fucking me financially for life, I’d do anything if I could just go on an exotic trip to Africa or something.”

                What happened soon after was something that she could never have predicted. 

 

                Larry was a billionaire investor who never wanted to settle down.  It wasn’t that he liked a party lifestyle; it was more that he wasn’t one to compromise his desires or beliefs for anything.  He also had a real problem with trusting another person and now that he has amassed his fortune, he didn’t believe it was possible to trust that a woman wasn’t in it for the money.  He blamed the game more than anything else as it seemed that it was rigged that the man was always wrong and women were bribed to divorce their husbands and take the payday.  After all, men were the devil and they were all rapists so the mob mentality narrative went.  This is especially true for bald white men who, statistically, are the least likely males to rape a female but facts and data never concerned mainstream opinion.  Whether it be America as a racist country or not swimming in the ocean due to sharks, irrational fear predominated the psyche of most people.  Now he was a hunter and he trolled various public places for anyone that would fit his basal desires.  Although he lived in New York City, he grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.  He returned there at least once a year to reconnect with friends and see his goddaughter.  As he was at the bar, he heard his trigger phrase, ‘I would do anything if…’  He turned around and saw that the speaker was a redheaded girl.  Larry had a thing for redheads.  He listened in on the conversation as the redhead was talking about how she wanted to go on an exotic trip before settling down.  Her friend responded nonchalantly, “Yea, well you’d also not be the first girl to want some rich guy to pay her bills.  Unfortunately, most of us don’t get our knight in shining armor”

                “Let’s change the topic, this is getting too depressing.  Did you see President Trump’s rally in Charlottesville?”

                “Yea, I can’t believe the nerve of that guy.  Going back to the place that he had the scandal with that ‘good people on both sides’ comment.’”

                “He was talking about both sides of the debate about the statue removal.  His very next statement was he wasn’t talking about the white supremacists because they need to be condemned totally.’ 

                “Yea, I know but I mean this is Democratic primary time.  Save these rallies and shit for next year.  I mean like hundreds of thousands of people try to get tickets, no venue can hold that.”

                “So, just don’t have it because you can’t accommodate everyone who wants to come?” Sally inquired challengingly. 

                “I just don’t see the point in doing it so early”

                A man turned toward them and said from the bar, “For data collection.”

                The friend sized him up.  He was a 6’0” bald white man with a husky build and green eyes.  The bald head made Sally and her friend think he was older but something about his face told them that he may not be.  Sally was the first to speak, “What do you mean?”

                “Well, when you apply for the rally, you have to give your e-mail, gender, and other simple data information.  Now, the Trump campaign has a list of people that support President Trump so they don’t have to spend money on various organizations that can give him lists of voters.  He can narrow his focus to his supporters in order to get volunteers and stuff.”

                The friend opined, “Very clever.  What’s your name?”

                “Larry”

                “I’m Tiffany and this is my friend Sally.”

                “Nice to meet you” Larry said as he shook their hands. 

                They both smiled but Sally spoke, “Are you a Trump supporter?”

                “I am”

                Tiffany had a visceral reaction to it but Sally kept her smile.  It seemed the news didn’t affect her either way.  Sally asked, “Why do you think he’s been obsessed with attacking the squad lately?”

                Tiffany asked, “Who’s the squad?”

                Larry took this one, “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashia Talib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley.”

                “Oh yea, they’ve been garnering a lot of support lately.  Been a real thorn in Trump’s side.”

                Larry shook his head slowly and replied, “I wouldn’t say that, I think Trump is winning.”

                “Bullshit!” Tiffany exclaimed. 

                Sally interjected, “Even Jake Tapper, who is a Trump-hating Democrat says that Trump is winning the battle with the squad.  I just don’t know why the President should concern himself with four congresswomen.  There’s over 400 of them, who cares what one one hundredth of them think?”

                “Are you asking why he attacked them during his rally?” Larry inquired

                “Yes”

                “Their approval ratings are all less than 25%, Omar’s is actually single digits, most independents can’t stand them….”

                “That’s why experience Democrats like Pelosi can’t stand them and even some media people have told them to wait their turn.” Sally interrupted.

                “Right, Trump uses that to make them the face of the Democratic Party so people associate Democrats with the squad rather than people who are more political savvy and can relate to a broader audience.”

                Tiffany scoffed and articulated, “I don’t think that’s going to work.”

                “Really?” Larry rebuffed, ‘when’s the last time you heard anything about the Democrats actually running for president?”

                Sally and Tiffany looked at each other and Sally stated, “You know, I don’t think I’ve heard anything about them for like a week.”

                Larry smiled, “So it’s working,  All the media talks about is the squad’s fight with Trump.  They’re ignoring the candidates.  The longer Trump keeps the focus off the Democratic candidates the less time they have to make their names known to the casual independent voter.”

                Tiffany saw the way Sally was looking at Larry and grinned.  She stretched her arms and pronounced, “Well, I got to go back to my husband and kids.  Hopefully my kids are okay, you can never trust men to be alone with children too long.”

                Larry chuckled and retorted, “Yes, women are much better at child raising than men.”

                Tiffany stopped dead in her tracks wondering if she had inadvertently violated the feminist movement and was a traitor to women.  She decided that she didn’t care and left.  She took a long look at Sally as if to tell her to stay but Sally had already decided she was going to.  Sally turned to Larry and said, “So how old are you?”

                “I’m 35”

                “Me too” as her face brightened

                “Well, you look a lot younger than I do.”

                “Thank You” she said as her pale skinned face turned red.  She took a sip of her drink eyeing Larry the whole time.  She continued, “So, since the media isn’t talking about the Democratic candidates, we should.”

                “Fine by me, they’re not much better.”

                “What do you mean by that?”

                “They’re mostly socialists.  They promise free college, free healthcare, free everything but there’s no way to pay for it.  Most of them are liars about it.  Except Bernie Sanders, who seems oddly honest about it how he’s a communist”

                Sally gave him a skeptical look and spun her drink with her straw.  “Biden is winning the polls”

                “Yea, and everyone is calling him a racists.  The media has spent three years telling people that old white men shouldn’t be in charge and the oldest white man is winning in the polls.  I mean Biden is older than Trump.  Go figure.”

                “Well, Kamala Harris is rising in the polls.”

                “She’s a liar.”

                “You need to stop making such accusations and back it up” she scolded

                “She claims that she’s not going to raise taxes on the middle class.  Her plan is going to cost $30 Trillion over 10 years.” 

                “Yea but people will pay for it from the money they save from not paying premiums”

                “Think about what you just said.  The money she saves you, she’s going to steal from you in order to pay for her plan.  Whether you spend it on your premiums or in taxes, you can’t spend it on what you want.”

                “Well, she just doesn’t like the status quo.”

                “But she’s lying because the amount of money you save on premiums won’t hold a candle to $10 Trillion a year.  At least Bernie was honest and said he’d tax the middle class.  He even tried telling us that the middle class would be happy to pay it.  He didn’t even say 30 Trillion, he said 40 Trillion. ”

                “Well that’s why Harris is doing better in the polls than Sanders”

                “Right, because she lies and Democrats like being lied to rather than honest people.  Hence they hate Trump who, for the most part, does what he says he’s going to do.  The things he hasn’t, he has gotten a lot of fight from Democrats in congress and in the courts to stop it.”

                “That is how our system works.  America has a lot of money though so it seems like a lot but to the American economy, it’s not much.”

                “Our entire annual budget is a little over three trillion dollars.  This program alone constitutes all the money we spend on everything else in a year combined.”

                “Oh, well, then yea, that’s pretty bad.  But what if Harris is right and she’s just going to tax the rich?”

                “The top 10% of Americans combined have $60 Trillion in assets.  That includes their houses, cars, businesses, everything they own.  You basically have to confiscate all their assets to pay for this, which means they can’t employ anyone.  That also means they can’t put money in the bank so the banks have money to lend out to people.  The entire economy would collapse.”

                “Well, I think it’s time for new blood at the top.”

                “There’s always new blood at the top.  Rich people lose their money and poor people make their way to rich people.  80% of businesses passed from father to son go bankrupt.  That’s the American way. 20 years ago, Mark Cuban was eating ketchup sandwiches because he was broke and I was a broke college student.  Now, we’re both billionaires.  This is the American way.”

                “Well, I’m not sure about all that.  Trump cut taxes though so now the government has less money.”

                “False, the government has had record revenues under Trump because of the tax cuts and the thing I just described.  When you let people keep their money, they are motivated to start businesses and make more money.  This puts them in a higher tax bracket so they have to pay a higher percentage than they used to so even though it’s a lower percentage, since they have more, the actual total dollar amount is higher than it was when they were inhibited by the higher taxes.  This phenomenon has only happened every time a president cut taxes since as far back as Calvin Coolidge.”

                “So then raising taxes would probably lead to less revenue”

                “Correct, as also happens.”

                “I don’t know, that doesn’t seem to make sense.”

                “Check the data yourself.”

                “Alright fine, so we have a $30 Trillion price tag over 10 years.”

                “With Trump’s roaring economy, the government is projected to make $26 Trillion over the next 10 years.  Where’s the other 4 trillion going to come from?  I actually think the money is closer to 60 Trillion but I’ll be nice and use Kamala Harris’ number.”

                “Yea, and we’re already in debt as it is.”

                “Massively.  The entire US economy is worth $20 Trillion and that’s how much we owe.”

                “Doctors are just going to have to take a paycut.”

                “Why just doctors?  They want free tuition too.  How about everyone that supports Harris should be asked if they want to take a pay cut?  After all, they’re the ones who want it right?  College administrators should step up too.  They should make less money to pay for this free college thing.  How about all the money that college sports generates no longer goes to the college but should go to the government?  It’s only fair right?  Why do doctors and hospitals have to be the only ones to take a pay cut?  They don’t’ support it.  Have the people that do take the pay cut and support it.”

                “Doctors have a lot of money.”

                “Universities do too.”

                “Well…I guess I see what you’re saying.  Nobody talks about that though.”

                “Of course not.  If people thought about what these people were actually saying, they’d all be polling at 0%.  They just say shit that sounds nice but nobody can answer the ‘how.’  The reason why is, the how is completely bankrupting everyone in the country.  Whereas Trump’s plan, makes almost everyone in the country more money.  Oddly, one of the only people that has lost money since Trump became president is Trump himself.”

                Sally laughed.  “Government needs to find a way to make some money.”

                “The government never makes money.  They are a money taker.  They don’t produce capital”

                “They print money”

                “That just drives inflation.  Every time they do that, it devalues the money so it’s basically net effect 0.”

                Alright, this is very interesting.  I still don’t know how I feel about Trump but you seem to know your economics.”

                “I do, but I do want to let you know that I didn’t come over here to talk about Trump and the economy”

                “Oh?  Then why did you come over here?” Sally fired back with sass in her voice as she put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands. 

                “I heard you say that you would do anything to go on an exotic trip so long as it doesn’t bankrupt you.”

                Sally’s tone took a little less sassy tone and got suspicious, “I did say that.” She replied

                “I’m not offering commitment.  I’m not offering anything more than to pay this one time expense but if you fuck me, I will pay for a trip anywhere you want to go.”  Larry stared sternly in Sally’s brown eyes as he made the offer.

                Sally’s eyes widened and she broke eye contact to look down.  She coughed in nervousness and then stared back, “Whoa, that was really fucking forward.”
                “I don’t play games.  I’m not interested in chasing.  We both want something that the other can provide.  It’s a simple transaction.”

                “You do know there are people who do this for a lot cheaper.”
                “Yes I do know that.  I’m not interested in them because I don’t really know where the money goes.  Does it go to a pimp, does it go to a trafficking company, are they prostitutes of their own free will or are they sex slaves.  Too many questions.  It’s also why I’m not offering you cash, I will pay for the trip,   You could cancel it to get the money back but it would be a heavy penalty fee.”

                “What protection do I have?  I mean you could have AIDS or another STD.  How do I know you won’t murder me after we’re done?  How do I know you’ll fulfill your end of the bargain?”

                “We will both be tested for STD”s beforehand.  There’s nothing I can do about the murdering part.  I guess let someone know where you are so I can’t get away with it.  Your friend Tiffany knows what I look like.  Tell her whatever your comfortable telling her.  I will say that if you get pregnant, I will have no contact with the baby.  I’ll pay for an abortion but that’s about it.  I suggest you take precautions to make sure you don’t get pregnant, whether It’s choosing a day you’re not fertile, birth control or otherwise.  I will not let your pregnancy tie me down.  This is as casual as it gets but you get the trip of a lifetime.”

                “Do I have to decide now?”

                “Nope” Larry handed her his card, “Just call me.  I will make you sign a contract to everything we talked about.”

                Larry paid for his tab and Sally’s and walked out of the bar.  Sally took a deep breath.  She went home and called Tiffany and started speaking a mile a minute about everything that happened.  Tiffany said, “He’s a psycho pig.  I’m sorry I left you alone with that fucking creep.”
                “Yea, it’s okay you didn’t know” Sally said with no sincerity in her voice. 

                A couple days later, Sally called Larry.  Thousands of dollars for something she had done before for a couple drinks or dinner seemed like a no-brainer.  Larry picked up quickly and Sally shyly stated, “Hey, it’s Sally, we met at the bar a couple days ago.”

                Sally would have been crushed if Larry didn’t remember but he responded, “I know who you are.  Did you think about my proposal?”

                “I did, and well, I’ll do it.”

                “Great, I’ll arrange for a doctor’s visit”

                “Yes of course, thank you.”

                They scheduled the preliminary things they discussed and both of them had all their worries best assuaged as they could be.  Sally showed up to the room number of a nice hotel that Larry was staying at and knocked on the door feeling very dirty for what she was about to do.  Larry opened the door and let her in.  Sally was actually glad that he had a t-shirt and shorts on.  She half expected him to show up naked or in Sadomasochist gear.  She sat on the bed and looked at Larry, who was removing his shirt.  Sally exhaled deeply and stated, “Can we like talk first?  I just don’t feel very comfortable just doing it right away.  Is that okay?”

                Larry had his shirt off but he shrugged his shoulders and uttered, “Of course.  What do you want to talk about?”

                They made small talk and then Sally said, “Did you hear about what happened in Portland with ANTIFA?”
                “Yea, they are running that city and the mayor won’t let the police do anything about it.”

                “What do you mean?”

                “Danielle Outlaw is the Chief of Police’s name.  After an Asian conservative got sent to the hospital with a bran bleed because ANTIFA beat the fuck out of him, she gave some bullshit about rules of engagement and that the cops need to intervene carefully to protect the safety of the demonstrators as well as law enforcement.  I’m sorry but when the demonstrators are throwing liquid concrete and rocks at someone, the cops need to come in with the riot gear and start taking them out.”

                “I agree with that.  You don’t even have to take them all out.  You just need to take out one or two then the rest will follow.  These are like millennials living with their parents.  They’re not hardened men and they fold easily.  I don’t think it’s good that the mayor would stop the police from intervening.  Especially after a journalist is sent to the hospital.  I was more talking about the ICE raids.  She won’t participate in helping ICE because Portland is a sanctuary city.”

                “Do you know what position that puts ICE raids in?  It’ s a recipe for disaster.”

                “No I don’t”

                “ICE agents don’t show up in uniform.  They have plain clothes.  So, a plain clothes person goes into a house to raid it and grab the illegal alien.  Someone might call the cops.  A cop might see it.  If the ICE agents aren’t allowed to notify the police then the cops won’t be able to distinguish between an ICE raid and a burglary.  This can easily lead to cops and ICE agents involved in a shoot out.”

                “Good thing that Outlaw tells her men not to engage.  Maybe the lax policing would be good to avoid this confrontation.”

                “It would be better if cops were allowed to protect the citizenry from violent people and knew about the raids so they didn’t have to waste their time with this.  The fucked up thing is that Outlaw has asked the federal government for help with ANTIFA but she won’t help them. “

                “Yea, that is a little hypocritical.  You seem angry, I’m going to let you get some of that anger out.” She said with a smile as she got up. 

                Sally stripped herself of her clothes and walked towards Larry who had stripped himself.  Larry lowered his hands to below her butt and hoisted her up.  Sally wrapped her legs around him and Larry carried her to the table. She placed Sally on the table knocking off a bottle of tequila, shot glass and lubricant that he had prepared since he liked body shots for foreplay.  Sally sat on the table, put her right foot against Larry’s chest and pushed him back.  She smiled back at him and said, “You need a condom.”

            Larry put a condom on while Sally jumped to her feet and turned her back to Larry. She bent over the table and Larry walked in between her legs and thrust his penis into her from behind.  Sally shot her legs straight back but didn’t wrap them forcing Larry to grab her shins and hold them in place.  Larry yanked her legs as he drove his pelvis forward humping Sally hard.  He caressed her legs as he continued to hold her in place repeatedly pulling her into him causing his penis to protrude further and further towards her clitoris through her vagina.  Sally lost her grip on the table and Larry pulled her off but she recovered quickly by bending down and wrapping her arms and legs around Larry’s legs but not letting Larry pull out.  Instead his penis slid to penetrate from the front instead of the rear as she hung upside down.  She twisted her legs towards the right causing Larry to trip to the ground.    She continued to hug his legs with all her limbs as Larry slapped her butt and squeezed hard arching his back to continue grinding his pelvis into hers. 

            After a little, Sally let go and stood up.  Larry followed her and Sally turned him toward the bed and shoved him on it.  Larry sat down and Sally straddled him and grinded her breasts against his face.  Larry leaned back and Sally rode him hard. 

Sally kissed her way down his neck and chest to his crotch.  She removed the condom and placed his penis into her mouth and bobbed her head aggressively.  She then placed his penis in between her breasts and rubbed it back and forth between them.  Sally made her way back towards his head the same way she came down and said, “I want you to cum in me.” As she reinserted his penis into her and rode him hard. 

            She didn’t have to wait long to get her wish as semen exploded from his penis into her birth canal. 

            Larry pulled out and panted.  They lied next to each other and Larry said, “As you know, if you get pregnant, I’m not going to have any part of the baby.  I’ll pay for an abortion but that’s about it. 

            Sally responded, “I have an IUD so you’re fine”

            “Why would I wear a condom before if you had an IUD?”

            “I didn’t want to tell you I had one till after the fact in case you called it off”

            “Why would I call it off?”

            “If I have an IUD, you know I’m sexually active and not as innocent as I look.  You don’t like prostitutes. That’s why you do this.  I didn’t want you to associate me as a slut

            “You’re not a prostitute; I kind of assume most women, especially in their 30s, are sexually active.”

            “Well then, you can never be too careful” Sally said with a smile.

            “Guess not” he submitted

            “What do you think about Ilhan Omar and this immigration fraud scandal?”

            “You mean how she married her brother to get around taxes and allow him in the country?”

            “Yes, but I saw on CNN that Omar says it’s a disgusting lie.”

            “That was Jim Acosta right?”

            “Not sure.”

            “Well, he did say that and then declared the case closed.  As if it’s impossible that someone who was accused of a crime would deny it and call it disgusting” Larry opined sarcastically.

            “Yea, CNN was calling Trump horrible for saying it.”

            “A lot of people have reported on it.  Jim Acosta hates the president and thinks everything he says is horrible.  I think it’s horrible to defraud the government.  This should be investigated and if the evidence is as damning as it is and there’s no reasonable doubt that she did this then she should resign and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

            “Yea the dude on CNN did say that anyone who says that she married her brother is wrong and a despicable person”

            “I think Acosta is a horrible person.  Always be aware of Emperor New Clothes speak.  When people start a sentence with, ‘you’re an idiot if you believe or ‘everyone knows’ then you can be reasonably sure that you’re about to hear some bullshit.”

            “You really don’t like that guy do you?”

            “No, I don’t.  He even contradicted himself.  Trump denied the Stormy Daniels scandal and Acosta pretended he didn’t answer the question when Trump vehemently denied it and attacked the accusers”

            “I don’t really know the other side of the story.  What is the evidence?”

            “Omar swore to obvious lies in divorce court.  On August 8, 2018, she got a divorce from someone who is alleged to be her brother because she hadn’t seen him in years.  After a certain amount of time, you can get divorced without your spouse being there if he or she hasn’t been seen in a while.”

            “That makes sense.  No need to put your life on hold and be tied down with marriage if you haven’t seen your spouse in a few years.  Kind of need to move on with your life.”

            “Yes, I agree obviously.  So they were married from 2009 – 2011 and then Omar claims she never saw him again.  She, however, posted social media pictures in 2013 with him.  They find the guy and ask him if he’s the person in the 2013 picture and he admits that it is.”

            “Sounds pretty damning”
            “it was but he covered for Omar by saying that it doesn’t count because her husband is listed as having a birthday of 4/4/85 and that’s not his birthday.”

            “I’m confused, what does that mean?”

            “He claims that her husband is a different guy with the same name as him.”

            “Oh, so honest mistake.”

            “The dude’s name is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, they checked in the UK, there is only one of him in Britain and Omar’s husband lives in Britain.”

            “Why would they do it anyway?”

            “Because Ahmed Sur Said Elmi because an American citizen between 2009 and 2011 because he was married to Omar who is an American citizen.  Furthermore, the guy that they interviewed who admitted being the man in the photos with her in 2013 also posted pictures of him when he was in the hospital.  Not realizing that when you go to the hospital, they put an arm band on you.  Do you know what information is on that arm band?”

            “Your name?”

            “And your birthday”

            “I think I know where this is going.”

            “On the arm band, it clearly states 4/4/85, which was the birthday of Omar’s husband.”

                “Okay so they saw each other but how do you know they’re related?”

                “I have to recheck my sources but there are posts from the only girl that both her and Ilhan admit are sisters.  When the sister had kids, Ahmed posted a picture and said, “I have new nieces”  They tracked down the father who listed four kids, Ahmed, Ilhan , Sarah and another woman.  They tracked down the Omar family that I think admitted they took Ilhan in so that she could stay in the country and passed her off as their kid.  There’s a lot of shit they uncovered and whenever they ask Omar about it, she refuses to talk about it.  I mean, why not just comment on it?  If you say nothing, people get suspicious why”

                “But then when she denies it, you call her a liar.”

                “You need to explain the facts in a different way.  When Trump denied it, he explained.  It was consensual, I don’t know her, I wasn’t even at the hotel, I was meeting with people.  He has alibis, he has explanations.  Omar just says ‘disgusting lie’ and does nothing to back it up.  It’s a little odd.

                “Alright, so, I fulfilled my end of the deal”

                “Where do you want to go?”

                “I don’t know, I was thinking like an African Safari or maybe see Egypt”

                Larry called a travel company and arranged a Safari in Kenya and then a flight to Egypt to see the pyramids and go on a Nile cruise.  Larry looked up from the phone and said, “Is that good?”

                Sally quietly nodded and agreed too shocked to understand what just happened.  He gave the phone to Sally who told her all the pertinent information to book the trip and what dates worked for her.  When she got off the phone, Sally was beaming.  She hadn’t even gotten dressed yet but ran and wrapped her arms and legs around Larry screaming, “Thank You.”

                “Thank you” Larry responded as he held her.  Sally was giddy and couldn’t stop smiling.  Larry liked this reaction. It made him think that he did something good even though it seemed sketchy.  Sally got dressed and left the hotel.  The next day, Larry returned to New York.  They never saw each other again and when the time came, Sally had an amazing African trip. 

Theo the Trump Employee Episode 19 Equal Opportunity Debating

                Theo is working in the Trump White House.  Although he enjoys it, it does take a toll on him to constantly be in the crosshairs of the most dangerous people in America; the left.  Seeing their libelous, scandalous, anarchist ways only emboldens him and reminds him why he fights.  He likes to tell himself that he frequents bars after work to decompress but given that he almost always engages in debates with those in the bar maybe he is still itching for the fight.  Today is a typical day after work and he attends a bar and orders a gin and tonic.  As he looks over, there’s a woman  in a headscarf praising Ilhan Omar.  People are shying away from her as she is very boisterous but Theo is undeterred.  He walks up to her and calmly says, “Why do you support a rapist sympathizer?”

                The woman yells out, “Excuse me!”

                “There is an epidemic in her home state of Minnesota where the Somali’s they brought in to make the state more diverse have been raping women at alarming rates claiming it is their culture.  Omar has not nor will not condemn them for this because they are her people.”

                The woman looks around and says, “Well, I don’t know about all that.  I’m just proud of her for speaking up about the border and how the US treats the immigrants worse than dogs.”

                “Why would that concern you when liberals have constantly argued that humans are no better than animals?  Isn’t that the whole premise of PETA and organizations like that?  Do they not deny God so that they can denigrate humans to the same level as animals?”

                “Omar isn’t an atheist; she’s a Muslim like me.”

                “I get that but her ideology and those that support her are atheists.  Would you not contend that atheists and the godless are normally on the left?”

                “We don’t discriminate on our side.”

                “Really?  Then why do you attack White Christian males so much?”

                “Because they’re the enemy”

                “Oh, so you do discriminate.  Conservatives don’t discriminate against black atheists”

                “They do against gays”

                “No they don’t.  Gay Republicans is so common there’s a name for them ‘log cabin Republicans.’ Tell me what’s the name for a White Christian male liberal?”

                “We’re getting off topic.  Bottom line is, you shouldn’t cage humans.  That’s bizarre”

                “How is it bizarre?  They broke the law.  There’s nothing unusual about a law breaker being detained.”

                “The constitution protects against cruel and unusual punishment.  Jails have beds.  These people are sleeping on floors.”

                “The 4^th Amendment I know.  If this is your position, however, why do you not condemn Ilhan Omar for voting against them sending beds and supplies to the border in order to provide better conditions for the detention centers?”

                “Because they shouldn’t be there in the first place”

                “Of course they should, they broke the law.  It’ll take a long time to change the policy and the law.  In the meantime, why not make them comfortable?  Omar voted against that.”

                “She’s not alone, AOC is on her side”

                “That just means they’re both retarded”

                “You’re racist”

                “On the contrary, I listen to what they have to say and judge them accordingly.  You don’t even know their positions.  You blindly follow them just because they’re minority women.  What Martin Luther King fought for was that people be judged by the content of their character not the color of their skin.  You are supporting them solely for the color of their skin not the conduct of their character so you are going against the Civil Right movement where I am not.”

                “You’re just upset that AOC skewed that ICE asshole on Capitol Hill”

                “He was the former ICE director and his name is Tom Homan.”

                “Yea, that racist”

                “What did he say that was racist?”

                “He was the ICE director”

                “You do realize that over half the agents of ICE are Hispanic right?”

                “Well….ummmm……he’s white”

                “So you think he’s racist just because he’s white?”

                The woman gives him a knowing look and nods exaggeratingly and pronounces, “Yea”

                “So that makes you racist”

                “It’s okay to be racist against white people”

                “No it isn’t, racism is bad period.”

                “That’s your opinion”

                “Not really, it’s fact but I understand that you racists don’t believe in facts.”

                “Fuck you.”

                “How did AOC skewer him by the way?”

                “Oh, now I remember.  This goes to your earlier point because that ICE dude tried to tell AOC that these are law breakers but she says it’s not illegal to ask for asylum” the woman smugly replies.

                “Then Honan informed her that there’s a difference between legal and illegal asylum.  The people at the border detention centers did not claim asylum at a port of entry.  That would be legal.  They did it when they were caught coming from a non-point of entry, which is illegal.  AOC, like it seems yourself, doesn’t realize there’s a difference between illegal asylum claims and legal ones.”

                “He’s still separating children”

                “He’s separating children when he arrests the parents.  If a man is arrested for beating his wife, do you think he should take his kids to jail with him?” 

                “Well no, of course not.”

                “Well then you’re separating children from their parents.”

                “Well….I mean….no that’s an oversimplification”

                “How so?”

                “The undocumented people didn’t break the….wait…..I mean…it’s a bad law.”

                “So you want completely open borders.”

                “Yes”

                “What about for white Europeans to come here?”

                “Well, no we have too many white people here.”

                “Now who’s racist?”

                A white man came over and says to the woman, “It looks like you need back up.”

                The woman gives him a dirty look but Theo is the one that speaks, “Ah, you care to join our little discussion”

                “Well, I saw that Capitol Hill trial as well and when Representative Garcia asked him about internment camps, Honan got a little heated.”

                “He should have gotten heated.  The reason why liberals gain traction is because Republicans take the high road and they can’t compete with their underhanded disgusting tactics.  I like that Honan called him disgusting because it was a disgusting question.  To insinuate that ICE purposely kills children is asinine.”

                “I disagree.”

                “Well, this is coming from someone that goes around running puppies over with his car.”

                The man’s face turned red as he yelled out, “I don’t hit puppies with my car! Where do you get off telling me that?  You don’t even fucking know me.”

                “So if you were famous, the headline tomorrow would read, ‘white man emphatically exclaims he doesn’t kill puppies with his car.  Then in the article someone may comment that he doth protests the most.”

                “What does that mean?”

                “Well, if you deny something by raising your voice, you’re obviously guilty.  I mean why did you deny it so vehemently?”

                “Because it’s a ridiculous accusation!”

                “And most people reading it would wonder why is it that you felt the need to even say that.  I mean, most people don’t kill puppies with their cars but they don’t feel the need to defend themselves.  It must mean something that you even said it.”

                “You brought it up.”

                “And now you know what it’s like to be a conservative.  So it is your contention that interment camps are wrong.”

                “Absolutely! They did this to the Japanese during World War II and it was despicable”

                “Define ‘they’”

                “America”

                “Who was President?  Who ordered the detainment camps?”

                “Ummmm……I’m not sure….Eisenhower?”

                “No, he was a general in the war.  The President during World War II was FDR.  He’s the one that ordered the internment camps for the Japanese.”

                “Yea but….well…..that was a different time.”

                “You just said that it was despicable.  You specifically were talking about the internment camps for the Japanese.  Now that you know who ordered it, your opinion changes all of a sudden?”

                The Muslim woman interjects, “See all White people are racist”

                The man fires back, “Hey, I’m trying to help you.”

                “I don’t need your help.  Why do men always think that women are all damsels in distress in need of protecting?”

                Theo shot back, “Oh no, it’s not women it’s liberals.  Since facts and data aren’t on your side, you need backup to take on a conservative in an argument.”

                The woman replied, “I don’t see you taking the high road”

                “No I’m not a Republican.  I’m a conservative.  I get right down in the gutter with your libelous, scandalous, anti-American disgusting vial liberals and meet you insult for insult.  The only way to deal with your emotional virtue signaling is to throw it right back at you.  Just like Honan did.  Getting angry was the proper response.  Just how the proper response to me falsely accusing him” pointing to the man that came over “ was to get angry.”

                The woman rejoined, “Wow, that was a long list of insults.  It’s hard to take a moral authority when you justify kids being separated from their parents”

                “Try to keep up. We already covered that it’s stupid to let an arrested person bring their kids to jail with them.  Besides, your statement makes even less sense considering that a third of all people with children at the border are not there with their children”

                The man asked, “What do you mean?”

                “They do a cheek swab and a third of the kids are not related to the adult that’s with them.”

                “Why would they not bring their own kids?”

                “In 1997, there was a Flores consent decree that you cannot detain a child for more than 20 days.  Asylum cases take longer than 20 days so people know that if they have a kid with them, they will have to be released when the child does because of idiots complaining about children being separated from adults at the border.  Now, there’s a market where you can rent kids to come across the border.  Some just kidnap them and are child traffickers.  One in three of the kids were rented at best and kidnapped or trafficked at worse.”

                “That doesn’t make sense” the woman hesitantly uttered

                “Why do you think that Trump got Mexico to hold asylum cases in Mexico?  That way when they get released because of Flores it’s in Mexico not in America”

                The woman decried, “Well, people are fighting back.  Did you hear about what happened in Aurora, Illinois?”

                Theo responded, “They pulled down a Blue Lives Matter flag and an American flag and replaced it with a Mexican flag.   This is after they raided an ICE facility.” 

                The woman grinned widely and expressed, “Yea, it was a great statement”

                “It is an act of war.”

                “Whoa whoa slow down there”

                “What do people do when they conquer an area during wartime?  They plant a flag.  The act of replacing a flag with your own is an act of conquering and an act of war”

                “I think that’s a little myopic”

                “How else do you look at it?”

                “1^st Amendment right to protest”

                “The 1^st Amendment protects peaceful assembly.  They firebombed it.  They attacked the ICE agents.  The first Amendment doesn’t protect against that.”

                “It’s an expression of their frustration”

                “Don’t break the law when you’re breaking the law”

                “What?!”

                “Taking down someone’s private property and defacing it is illegal.  The protestors are advocating for people to break the law by crossing the border illegally.  Protesting to break the law is actually legal but they are breaking the law in order to advocate for other people to break the law.  I guess you can say they’re consistent.”

                “ICE killed a protestor”

                “That was in Tacoma, Washington not Illinois and that terrorist you call a protestor firebombed the facility and brandished a rifle.  That’s why he was shot and he deserved it”

                “You got that from Andy Ngo.  That asshole that incites violence and then complains about it.”

                “No, he just documents ANTIFA for what they are, domestic terrorists.  Willem Von Spewson (The Tacoma man that firebombed the facility) deserved to die.”-

                After the Muslim woman defended these acts of war, the white man walked away.  At this comment, the Muslim woman snapped, “I don’t have to listen to this, I’m leaving!” as she walked out of the bar.

                Theo went back to the bar and ordered another gin and tonic.  He sat there waiting for someone else to say something.  It always happened so he just waited.  People came over and whispered to him, “Wow you really filet them”

                Theo would respond in a normal voice, “Why are we whispering?”

                They would always smile and walk away.  This is why Theo did it.  Non-leftists were afraid to speak up in fear of being attacked or labeled racist.  Theo just rolled with it.  He was a bald white male so he was used to being discriminated against.  As it turned out the white guy wasn’t done.  He walked over to Theo and extended his hand articulating, “I’m Mike by the way.”

                Theo shook it and said, “Theo”

                “Do you think we can have a discussion without name calling?”

                “It’s been my experience that it is extremely difficult to have one of those with a liberal.  You are a liberal right?”

                “I am”

                “Then I’m afraid I can’t guarantee anything.  I will say this though.  I will not initiate the raised voice and name calling.”

                “Deal” as they shook hands again.  Mike continued, “So you’re a Trump supporter?”

                “Not only that, I work at the White House.”

                “Did you work at the White House before Trump became president?”

                “Nope, I specifically quit my job in New York to work for President Trump.”

                Mike gave a condescending grin and took a deep breath.  Theo smiled widely back as if daring him to call him a name.  Mike didn’t take the bait, instead he pronounced, “I assume you’re going to talk about how great the economy is.”

                “Because it is”

                “Well, Trump selectively cherry picks facts to give a better impression.”

                “Like what?”

                “I don’t know.  Democrats say it all the time.”

                “Democrats attack the economy because they voted against the tax cuts so they can’t admit they were wrong when they said the tax cuts would destroy the economy.”

                “Well Obama created more jobs than Trump”

                “Part Time jobs yes but not full time jobs.”

                “Well….I’m not sure the breakdown”

                “Do you see a pattern here?  In our previous discussion, the Democrats combined legal and illegal asylum in order to make claims that were untrue.  They also combine full time and part time jobs to make the numbers appear better for Obama but even DNC chairman Donna Brazile said that Obama’s jobs couldn’t sustain a decent living.”

                “So you don’t think Obama just handed Trump a booming economy?”

                “Of course not.  Think of it logically.  How could you continue a trajectory when you reverse pretty much every single policy someone has?”

                “That’s not what the media says.”

                “That’s why we call it ‘fake news’”

                “You need to back that up though.  I mean I say the media says this and you say Trump says that.  It’s a he says she says”

                “Okay, so why not settle it by going by what Obama’s CBO said”

                “What’s the CBO?”

                “Congressional Budget Organization”

                “I have a feeling I’m not going to like this.”

                “You’re not”

                “Alright shoot”

                “Obama’s CBO predicted that entrepreneurial business applications would be 100,000 less than what they are now by this time.”

                “So more people are starting companies”

                “A lot more people! 100,000 is a big number.”

                “Fine, so they were off on that.”

                “Trump’s small business investment now is $300 Billion higher than what Obama’s CBO predicted”

                “Sounds like you’re saying Trump is helping the little guy”

                “That’s because he is.  The lower income bracket has seen over four percent growth whereas the highest income bracket is only 2%”

                “That would mean the wage gap is shrinking”

                “And it is”

                “Yea but it’s only white collar workers not the union guys”

                “This was a problem Obama had too.  That’s why his CBO predicted that Blue Collar employment would decline.  Especially with all these illegal immigrants coming and stealing jobs from lower income people; It just seemed inevitable.”

                “Oh so you blame illegal immigration for Trump’s failure”

                “What are you talking about?  I blamed illegal immigration for Obama’s failure.  Under Trump, blue collar employment has risen at the fastest rate since 1984!”

                Mike glared at Theo and smirked, “You set me up for that one.”

                “Yes I did” Theo admitted “Right now there’s more job openings than unemployed people.  Obama couldn’t even dream of that.  I know this because Obama is the only president since the Great Depression to never average 3% growth in a year. He had eight chances and went 0-8.  Trump has already done it once and he’s only been President for three years.  Furthermore, Obama’s economic advisers said that 3% growth isn’t realistic anymore because America has grown too big.  That’s why Obama talked about a magic wand to do what Trump said he would do and did.  So if Obama said that these results were magic, then how can you claim that it was his policy?  This is especially odd since, like I said before, Trump reversed pretty much every economic policy Obama had.”

                “Why would Donna Brazile say that about Obama only creating low wage jobs?”

                “She e-mailed John Podesta and the e-mails were intercepted based on freedom of information act.”
                “That act has really screwed the Democrats.  Between Brazile, Strzok and Page, maybe people should stop texting or e-mailing incriminating information.”

                “Why?  Democrats are above the law in this country.  Who has actually been criminally prosecuted for it?”

                “What a ridiculous thing to say!”

                “Prove me wrong.  Everyone you mentioned, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and Donna Brazile, which one has been arrested?”

                “They all lost their jobs”

                “So what?  Brazile now works for the media.  Strzok and Page probably found other jobs.  Strzok and Page conspired, lied to a FISA court in order to illegally get a FISA on people solely because he hated them.  Yet, they are walking free. 

                Mike looked at his watch and declared, “It’s getting late, I need to go home.”

                Theo put out his hand, “It was nice meeting you Mike”

                Mike shook it and gave a sarcastic smile, “Likewise” he said

                Theo closed his tab and left.  He went into the subway and prepared for his long commute back to Rockville, Maryland where he lived.  It is 8:00PM on a weekday so not many people are taking the train back.  He sees a redheaded girl on the train being hit on by a brown skinned man.  Theo thinks nothing of it.  Guys hit on girls all the time on the train.  He assumes that since it’s a public place, the guy won’t do anything egregious so he doesn’t normally interject.   Theo carries a three inch spring assisted blade on him at all times.  He needed special permission from the white house staff to bring it into the White House.  The brown man demands, “You’re going to come back to my apartment with me.”

                The redhead gives him a dirty look and states firmly, “No, get away from me creepo”

                The brown man grabs her by the hair and yanks it back.  He scolds, “How dare you insult me and say no to me bitch.”

                Theo rolls his eyes.  He can’t believe how audacious this guy is to do it in public.  He gets up annoyed that the four other men on the train have done nothing.  He calmly implores, “Let go of the girl.  She said ‘no’.  I get it, you did everything right, you were confident.  Girls like confidence and she may be playing hard to get but grabbing her by the hair is probably a bad ploy.”

                “Women are meant to serve men.  Look at how she’s dressed”

                The redhead had a low cut shirt and short shorts.  Given that it was July, this wasn’t too uncommon.  He glared at him and inquired, “You’re not from this country are you?”

                “What are you a racist?”

                “I do discriminate against people that assault women yes.”

                The redhead smiled at this.  At this point, the brown man was no longer holding her hair but she still didn’t dare move.  The brown man pulled a large knife out and brandished it at Theo.  Theo calmly looked on as the redhead gasped.  Theo’s hand already had his knife in hand but the back of his hand blocked their view.  He ran his finger on the one handed trigger for the spring to snap the blade out and drove the knife into the man’s armpit burying all three inches of steel into him.  The man dropped the knife and Theo kicked it away.  He commanded, “You’re getting off at the next stop.”

                Sure enough, the man pleaded in a hurt voice, “It’s my culture.”

                “You’re culture sucks.  What are you Hmong or something?”

                The man looked up surprised as he held his arm, which had blood on it but not much as puncture wounds don’t bleed a lot.  He was in a lot of pain though.  When the train stopped he got off and Theo sat down next to the redhead.  She smiled and muttered, “Thank you”

                “You’re welcome.  Do you mind if I sit here and stop the womanizers from bothering you.”

                “Didn’t you just do that?” the redhead fired back still smiling and bending her head down but raising her eyes to look flirtatiously at Theo. 

                “Ehhh there could be more.”

                “Well I don’t mind”

                “I’m Theo”

                “Maggie”

                “Nice to meet you”

                “Likewise” Maggie expressed as they shook hands. 

                Theo was very bad at small talk.  He knew that despite being ahead now he’d probably ruin it before her stop.  Since he didn’t know what else to say, he shot out, “So, you’re not scared of men who carry knives around.”

                “Not when they use it to protect me” she exclaimed with a condescending tone causing Theo to smile, “Plus, I have a lot of family in the military so weapons never scared me.”

                Theo thought to point out that she did gasp when the brown man pulled out the large knife but thought better of it.  “Are you a Pro-Mike Flynn type of military or more of a McCain?”

                The flirtation was out of Maggie’s voice and eyes and she stared fiercely at him and retorted, “Military is the military.”

                “So you should have a problem with what the government did to Mike Flynn”

                “He shouldn’t have lied to the FBI”

                “The FBI agents that interviewed him said they didn’t think he was being deceptive.  Why did the higher ups think that then?”

                Maggie contemplated this for a little bit.  She shook her head and said, “Well, that was just what he said to the Russian ambassador.  What about not filing for a FARA”

                “He did file for a FARA, they just said it was the wrong one.  Besides, nobody has ever been charged under the Logan act since 1789, you don’t find that suspicious.”

                “So you think the government should’ve just ignored it?”

                “No, I think the government should have warned him that the Dutch company he was working for had ties to the Turkish government.  That would have been more ethical than entrapping him to sign the wrong FARA form.” 

                “Sounds like a conspiracy to me”

                “There’s no evidence to suggest that Flynn knew the Dutch company was associated with the Turkish government.  I wonder how the government knew.”

                “I feel like you’re getting at something” she accused as she looked at him suspiciously

                “That’s because I am.  I think they had a FISA against Flynn and were listening in on who he spoke to and then when they followed who his contacts at the Dutch company contacted, they found Turkish government officials.  If they had Flynn talking to the Turkish government officials directly that’s what they would have accused him of.  Instead, they got him for filling out the wrong form.  A form, I might add, that they gave him to sign. 

                “He lied on the form.  It’s not that he filled out the wrong one.”

                “Did he though?  I mean they wanted him to sign another confession that he knowingly lied and he refused.”

                “Proving someone is lying about not knowing is very difficult”

                “Then why is Mike Flynn in jail?”

                “He admitted to lying”

                “After they went after his family.”

                “Okay, so you say they have no evidence of his knowing the Dutch company had ties to Turkish government, where’s your evidence that the spied on him?”

                “The court documents revealed that the government is in possession of a variety of Flynn’s business interactions.  They admit that’s it’s mostly communications.”

                “Well nowadays, e-mails and texts get leaked all the time.”

                “These are phone conversations, not written means like texts and e-mails.  They have transcripts of his phone conversations.  That’s how they knew he lied to the FBI when he told them about his conversation with the Russian ambassador.  They had a transcript of the call and when he didn’t remember it verbatim, they accused him of lying.  That’s why the FBI agents interviewing him said they didn’t think he was being deceptive.  They assumed he simply didn’t remember every detail of a conversation he had six months ago when on vacation in the Dominican Republic.”

                “Why do it though?”

                “To hurt Trump”

                “Oh come on.”

                “What do you mean ‘come on’?  Why is it that it’s always upper echelons of people involved in taking down Flynn?  The FBI Director Comey ignores rank and file guys to prosecute Flynn for lying.  With the FARA violation, it’s the head of the National Security Division Laugman”

                “Funny, I haven’t heard Trump tweet anything about Laugman.  Must not be that much of an enemy.”

                “Really? Well let’s play the Kevin Bacon game.”

                “What’s the Kevin Bacon game?”

                “Kevin Bacon is six degrees removed from every actor”

                “Alright, I’m not sure where you’re going with this.”

                “Laugman worked for John Carlin.”

                “The comedian?”

                “No, that was George Carlin.  This is John Carlin”

                “Okay”

                “Carlin was on the Mueller probe investigating Trump.  This isn’t too surprising considering Carlin was Mueller’s former chief of staff when Mueller was FBI director.  Wow, I didn’t need six degrees I got there in two.”

                “I’m beginning to get a little intrigued”

                “Carlin was replaced as chief of staff by Mary McCord.  McCord was with former Attorney General Sally Yates when he went to the white house after Trump was elected to tell Don McGan of the transition team to not let Flynn in his cabinet”

                “Well yea because he lied on a FARA form and colluded with Russia.”

                “No, it’s because he criticized the Iran deal, which was supposed to be Obama’s legacy.”

                Maggie hesitated and nodded her head digesting all this.  She finally said, “Well, that all seems conspiratorial I mean Washington is a close knit group of people so you’re always going to have people who worked for other people in every situation.”

                “If you say so.”

                “The real problem is that Steele seemed to trick everyone.”

                “Steele didn’t trick anyone on the right.  Just the people who hate Trump.  They wanted to nail Trump so bad they’d believe anything.”

                “Maybe, but now we need to focus on getting Steele.”

                “Nobody is focused on that, which just shows how your theory is wrong.  Comey, Brennan,Ohr and other members of the CIA, FBI and DOJ weren’t tricked by Steele.  Even the state department’s Kathleen Kavalec found holes in his story 10 days before they issued the first FISA and he wrote a memo to the FBI alerting them that Steele was lying.  They just ignored it.”

                “Well, now we all know Steele isn’t credible”

                “Also false, Kim Derroch is still vouching for Steele because she didn’t get the memo that the Democrats have changed their narrative from calling Steele an impeccable source and a reliable FBI informant to throwing him under the bus for duping them.”

                “Who is Kim Derroch?”

                “Former United States ambassador to England’

                “Oh and since Steele is British, she would know him.  Along with many of Steele’s handlers.  This is bad for Democrats because if Steele is reliable then when he told Kavalec how he colluded with Trubnikov and Surkov then Steele is actually guilty of colluding with Russians for dirt on Trump.”

                Theo gave Maggie a shocked expression and stated, “Very good.  You’re pretty informed on this topic.  Most people have no idea who Kathleen Kavalec is.”

                “Yea well I do. 

                Theo got to his stop and said, “Well this is my stop, it was nice talking to you.”

                Maggie got up and inquired, “You’re really going to leave me alone after what happened?”

                Theo smiled guiltily and asked, “Where do you live?”

                Maggie got up and held the doors that were closing.  The doors opened again and she walked off as did Theo.  Theo asked, “You live in Rockville too?”

                “Oh no, I’m not telling you where I live.  You’re going to tell me where you live.”

                “How do you know I’m single?”

                “A girl can tell.”

                Theo looked back and forth and Maggie walked up to him and kissed him on the mouth.  Theo pursed his lips and kissed back.  Maggie gleamed and challenged, “You don’t do this often do you?  Just so you know when you rescue a girl from being assaulted, you’re probably going to get laid.”

                Theo was shocked at the forwardness.  He just nodded and kissed her again.  Maggie kissed back and declared, “About time you initiated it.  Geez, I had to wait the entire train ride.”

                Theo led Maggie back to his place.  Maggie spent the night and the next day they both went to work.  Theo was surprised Maggie was going in the same clothes as women tend to notice these things but she didn’t seem to mind.  Maggie was right.  Theo didn’t do this often and he was very awkward the next day.  He managed to get Maggie’s number but he doubted he’d call her.  Theo was still old fashioned and it was weird to him when a girl had sex with you after meeting your for the first time.
