Early the next morning, while the trio was luxuriating in the soft light of early day, Jacob's cell phone rang. It was Jacob's father, Randall Acosta calling informing his son that he would be at the cabin in about two hours. Quickly the three sprang into action. Bobby dressed Anne as demurely as possible and then all set to cleaning and straightening the cabin. Relatively quickly things were stowed away. Lastly Jacob stripped the bed, gave it new sheets, and and threw the soiled ones into the washer.
Jacob then began to prepare breakfast, timing its completion to hopefully coincide with is father's arrival. Randall Acosta arrived just moments after the last of the pancakes were placed on plates. The tall and broad Randall Acosta smiled broadly as he entered the cabin.
"You're just in time for breakfast, Mr. Acosta" said Bobby.
"Don't mind if I do." said the gangster as he took the place at the table that was clearly meant for him. He was seated opposite of Anne and could not help notice that she appeared positively radiant. Obviously she was enjoying her time with the boys. Acosta noticed that both boys carried themselves slightly differently. Whether assurance or a new level of maturity the two had a new air about themselves. Taking it all in Randall Acosta was supremely satisfied with himself.
As the four people sat about the table they discussed small talk. Issues like sex were too obvious to touch upon. At one point Anne asked Randall Acosta if she could speak to him privately at some point.
Randall was confused as to her reasons but agreed. Once the meal was over the father instructed his son and Bobby to wash the dishes and keep themselves occupied while he and Anne talked. The gangster and the beautiful Asian woman moved to the couch.
"Mr. Acosta," she began tentatively, "I was wondering if you could help me."
Over the next half hour Anne, her eyes tear filled, told him about how unhappy she was in her marriage. How the boys had wakened things long dormant in her and about how she did not want to return to her husband Charlie, but wanted so much out of life. She wanted that life in America but because of her legal status she knew that she could not stay here apart from Charlie. Did Mr. Acosta know any out for her?
Randall Acosta was truly touched by Anne's plea. What had begun in an exercise in humiliating her husband had become something much more. He also realized that he very much wanted to assist her. Obviously the resistant, resentful woman he had dropped off at this cabin had been replaced with a woman of sensitivity and passion. It would be down right criminal to send such a fine woman like Anne back to crud like Charlie. And then he had a brain storm.
