Chapter 17
The rules for Heroes say... Bring her back. Her being your assignment as agreed upon by you and your Hero Caretaker.
The exceptions:
Pregnant; can’t bring an expectant mother through the portals.
Dead; if she’s dead and it’s your fault ... that’s a problem. Dead by natural causes? We’ll already know.
By force; she doesn’t want to come and is free to tell you that without outside pressure.
What about Murphy?
A Murphy: There is always something.
Dirt Pile is a Murphy.

“Heck.” She popped out a very full and shapely breast. “You sure?”
“Yup! Duty over pleasure every time.”
She tweaked a nipple and it stood up.
“You should put that away ... someone might see ... hit me over the head ... and find out later you’re a cockburner.”
“Oops!”
“The other thing ... I’m trying to be reasonably stealthy ... clean you up and every man on the planet will be trying for the brass ring. So ... you need to be the ragpile for a bit longer.”
