He was scared, so freaking scared. Every noise terrified him.
"Should I leave you two lovebirds alone?" She said from the doorway.
Jen was skinnier since college and someone had taught her to wear makeup.
"Hop in." Danny said, his voice perking up. "Make a threesome."
"I don't want to be the filling in a dork sandwich." Jen relaxed a little as she realized she wasn't going to get pushed away. I let go of his hand and got up to give her the chair I was sitting in. Jen sat down and took his hand and pretty much didn't move from that spot again. She stayed with him all day and they couldn't even get her out at night. Sometimes she went over to his house and took a shower and worked on straightening the place up. We got a professional cleaning crew in there, fixed the elevator and did what we could to make the place seem like his house instead of the palce he was locked up. The cops got most of his books back. Donald and Susan had been hauling them off to storage in contemplation of taking them away in a truck. They thought it would draw attention if the parked a U-Haul at Danny's back door. Since they drained his bank account with a VISA check card and some forged checks, he really hadn't lost any money. They didn't make customers pay for fraud. Nothing was missing but his piece of mind...
