"... And so I think that if we just bring the chairs out to the front people will have plenty of places to sit and they will stick around longer", the fat lady in the yellow dress was saying for about the third time. Kelly had had just about enough. She leaned over and whispered in her grandma's ear. "How much longer is this going to be Granny?"

Kelly's Grandmother whispered back, "Probably another 45 minutes honey. I'm sorry but we really need to finish the meeting."

Kelly sighed. It was another boring church meeting that she had been dragged to because her grandmother didn't want her to be left alone at home. "Can I go outside to play?" she asked.

Her grandmother hesitated but finally nodded her head. Quickly Kelly got up and left the room almost running to get out of there. She went down the hall pushed through the glass door leading outside. There wasn't much to do besides a swing set but anything was better than sitting there for another long meeting. She walked down the sidewalk breathing in the cool late afternoon air.

Kelly was only 15 to 20 feet along when she heard the door opening behind her. She didn't think much about or even look behind her until she heard the footsteps approaching. She turned her head to look behind her and saw James walking up to her.

"Hello there Kelly," James called out as he walked up to her. "Hello," Kelly replied listlessly not really feeling like getting into an involved conversation with the man.

But James didn't take the hint. Moving closer he smiled down at Kelly. "So did you get bored in your meeting?"

Kelly gave an inward shrug. Who could tell what grownups wanted? She remembered her grandmother's regular reminders; "Be polite. Behave yourself and obey your elders." So she decided to smile and answer.

"Yeah, I needed to get out. Don't you have a meeting?"

"Oh, I only had to be there for the first part. I'm not really a member of that committee, I was just there passing some word to the rest of the committee from the Deacons. Now that I'm done with that I'm free for the rest of the evening. Heck my wife is even out of town."

"Oh, I see."

Kelly noticed that James's eyes were moving up and down her body. She became abruptly conscious of the press of her tits against her top. She had begun to develop in earnest over the last couple of months and normally she was proud at the fact that she was becoming a woman but James's look made her feel a little uncomfortable.

James interrupted her thoughts. "So how old are you now Kelly, didn't I hear that you just had a birthday?"

"Yeah, I just turned 12."

"That's neat, 12 is a great age. I hope your mom and dad got you some really neat stuff."

Kelly hesitated but decided to answer. She was a little embarrassed but after all James was a deacon in the church so it was probably ok. "My dad is in dead and my mom is, well, an drug addict. She left town two years ago. We don't know where she is. That's why I live with my grandma."

"Oh my," James said. "I didn't realize that. I'm sorry."

"That's ok," Kelly replied. "I don't talk about it much."

"I understand," James said and then smiled. "I tell you what, let me show you something to make it up to you."

"No, that's ok," Kelly protested.

"I insist," James replied.

The much bigger man reached down and put his arm on Kelly's shoulders. Half pushing, half guiding her along, they quickly walked past the church's play area. Every attempt by Kelly to find out where they were going was met with a "you'll see" response.

Soon they arrived at the back fence of the church property, the dividing line between the church and abandoned Post Office. Kelly's grandmother regularly complained about it being an eyesore but with the trees and the fence you really couldn't see very much. To her surprise James went up to the fence and pulled back two boards to expose an opening into the other property. She had played in this area of the church yard with her friends lots of times and had never noticed this.

"You go in first," James said with a smile.

Kelly could see him looking her over again and something about his smile made her nervous all over again. "I'm not sure," she said.

"It's okay," James assured her. "We've got plenty of time and I'll be right behind you."

Kelly wasn't sure how to say that it wasn't crossing the fence that bothered her so much as it was crossing it with him. She stood there undecided for a second but couldn't think how to express herself.

"Come on, you'll really like it," James promised her.

Kelly moved forward. She ducked down a little and walked over to the other side of the fence. James had to turn sideways and drop down further but he was right behind her. She turned around and watched as he moved the boards back into place. This made her even more nervous especially when he turned around and grinned at her again. Kelly noticed that his stares at her were more open and focused less on her face than her body. But she still didn't know what to do about it.

James pointed to the abandoned building about 25 yards away. "It's just around this corner."

"What is it?" Kelly asked again.

James smiled. "You'll see," was his only response.

Taking her arm they began to walk. Kelly tried to ease her tension by talking. "So how did you discover this place?"

"That's an interesting subject," James replied. "Actually I found it when I saw a couple of youth coming in here one night a couple of years ago. We were having a party and I saw a girl and a guy going through the fence. No one else was around so I figured they were up to no good. So I waited a few minutes and followed them in here. It was pretty dark but I could hear them.

Kelly thought about asking what it was he had heard but decided not to. James seemed to be willing to supply plenty of details on his own.

"Yes, they were getting all hot and heavy and thought I better hurry up. Sure enough I went around this corner up here and there they were. Both of them naked as they day they were born. The girl was the younger of the two. In fact," James gave her a meaningful sideways glance, "she was only a year or so older than you."

Something in the tone of his voice sent a chill down Kelly's back. But by now Jamess hand on her arm was holding her tight and he was practically dragging her along. He continued his talk.

"So I grabbed up their clothes laying on the ground and shouted out, 'What's going on here?' Lord, you should have seen them jump. I recognized them both. The boy was a senior in high school but I didn't know his name. He wasn't a member of the church. The girl was Lisa Miller. So I shoved his clothes at him and told him that if I ever saw him around there again I'd have him charged with rape. He shot out of there like he was on fire, pulling his clothes on as he ran. I tell you that boy was scared but Lisa was terrified. She started crying and begging me not to tell her daddy on her."

By now they had reached the corner James had mentioned earlier. Kelly felt a sense of mounting dread but was powerless in the man's grip. As they came around the corner she saw first a ratty old green couch shoved up against the wall. There were cigarette butts all around the ground and the whole ground was littered with trash. It wasn't anything special and she couldn't see what was so special about the place and then on the wall she saw it.
