Are you really a victim, Mike?--Shane
Shane;
I was near the lab when the virus first hit. I'm probably going to be one of the first hundred cases treated. The lawyers are going to have a field day, but I'm sure that you'll manage just fine.
Let me tell you how it happened to me.
Last night, I am walking down the hall, twirling my nightstick. You know, in big building like that, at 3:30 am--it's easy to feel like you are the king of the world. King of a very small world. With no other people in it. Still, I can do jumping jacks or sprint down the hallway and nobody gives a shit.
So, it's time for a coffee break. Shit. My whole life is a coffee break, anyway.
My big yawn is interrupted when I hear this noise coming from the lounge. The coffeemaker is my guess. No. Wait. What the hell? At the doorway to the lounge, with one hand already on the light switch, I freeze.
It's dark, but I can see Mary Stoffer sitting at one of the chairs. At first, all I can see is that she is pumping something in front of herself. Then I notice her heels pressed against the table; her bare knees are high. She is naked from the waist down. Her shoes and her pants are lying on the floor near her chair. She moans.
Mary is stuffing the handle of a dish scrubber into herself--I mean, she is sliding it right into her pussy. Right there, for all the world to see--well, for me to see, anyway.
I back away before she sees me. I take deep breath. I still hear her moans. I look down at my feet, seeing my black security shoes against the burgundy corporate carpet. Somehow, it seems so absurd--these formal shoes, and Mary moaning in the lounge.
Mary Stoffer is an executive assistant. She is sometimes here until pretty late in the evening--but never this late. She is...I don't know...in her early twenties, I guess. She is pretty, has short dark hair and has a killer body. She raises her infant son by herself, as far as I know. She treats me kindly in our business dealings. I really don't know that much about her. I've had a fantasy or two, but I never expected this. Not in a million years.
I peak my head around the corner to look at her again. She glances up at me, but her face doesn't crack. Her eyes are puffy and red.
"Fuck me." She says to me, point blank. She just stares at me like I'm her personal toy.
Okay, so I back away again--just for a second.
I figure I've got to do something. I step into the lounge. There is this odd smell in the air that I can't quite figure out.
"Mary." I say. "Look, uhm, people will be here in a few hours." I drop my hands to my sides and just stand there. Finally, I kind of mumble out something like "I'll be at the security desk." But I find myself just waiting, anyway.
Mary stares directly at my eyes and she continues stroking herself with the handle of the dish scrubber. She nods to me, as if in the hallway on any regular day.
"Come on. Let's do it." She grins broadly at me. "Look at you ... looking at me. Come on."
