She turned back to the interior of the stable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mitch, someone&amp;rsquo;s here.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A muscular man in his mid-forties, Mitch stopped what he was doing and slipped past his wife at the entrance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll see what this is about.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As he approached the woman, she flashed a professional smile and held out her hand. In the other hand, she held what appeared to be a personal computer the size of a cell phone. An identification badge hung from a strap around her neck. Even though she wore glasses, and her hair was done up in a severe bun, and her pumps said Business Not Pleasure, she was an attractive woman.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Bum Box</title><link>/stories/2016/06/13/the-bum-box/</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/06/13/the-bum-box/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 1&lt;/strong&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Well what do you think?&amp;rdquo; Kate asked as she led Nicole and Dania into the cellar. The women looked at the heavy metal box that was no larger than 1.5 foot cubed. &amp;ldquo;Well how do you restrain someone in that?&amp;rdquo; Nicole asked disappointedly. &amp;ldquo;Oh easily&amp;rdquo; Kate smiled.
The box was made up of two halves with a join around the middle allowing the top half to lift up. It had a round hole in the middle of one side that was half in each part of the box. It also had a glass like surface on top.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
