Chapter 10

Amanda thought it best if they stay off the road and take a well worn trail down the mountain. Her platform shoes were not the best for this trip, but she didn't have anything else. After several hours of struggling with the slippery ground and rocky terrain they came to a small town.

Hiding in the bushes they peered toward the main area of the town. There were several small stores amongst other buildings on the unpaved road that was the main street.

"If we can get to one of those stores, maybe they have a telephone we could use. Assuming the town isn't involved with this thing."

David thought for a moment and said, "Since there's no way for us to know for sure, maybe I should go into the town by myself. That way if I am caught you can head further down the mountain."

"I think you're right. Be careful," Amanda said and pulled her son to her for a long kiss. When she pulled away she said, "Call one of your friends and have them get in touch with David Antori at the state's attorney's office. Tell him that it is an emergency and have him call you back here. If everything is okay, come back here. If you are not back in a reasonable time, I will head down the mountain."

"Okay."

"Good luck, sweetheart."

With that David headed down the road toward the center of town. He was relieved that no one seemed to give him a second glance, probably figuring he was a tourist hiking the trails. Inside the store he asked if they had a public phone. The guy behind the counter pointed to a telephone in the back of the store. David thanked him and went to the phone. Since he didn't have any money, he made the call collect, trying one friend and then another before he got through. He told them briefly what had happened and asked them to contact the attorney. His friend told him to hold on the phone and he would make the call right away.

Amanda was relieved when she saw her son coming back and he had a smile on his face.

"I got to your attorney friend and told him our situation. He said he was going to the authorities right away. He said to stay where we are and they would find us."

Amanda collapsed into her son's arms and began to sob. "Is it really over?" she asked.

"I hope so," David said, but we had better find some place to hide for now."

They moved back up the trail and found a rock overhang with a small trail leading to the rear. Behind the rock was a grassy knoll that overlooked the ocean. They sat down next to each other. David put his arm around his mother.

"What's going to happen when we get home?" he asked.

"Roland is going to jail along with a lot of other people."

"No, I mean with ... you know us?"

Amanda was silent as she looked out at the blue Mediterranean. "I don't know," she whispered. "I've thought about it and keep coming to the same conclusion." She paused and looked at her son. Then she continued. "What we have done ... uh ... what we have been forced to do, is wrong. Here, there wasn't much we could do about it, but at home ... well, it could mean real trouble for us. We know too many people and..."

Amanda saw that David had tears in his eyes. She reached over and touched his face. "You had to know it couldn't last. I'm your mother."

David turned away as the tears streamed down his cheeks. He didn't move when his mother wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his back.

"I ... I ... love you," he said without looking back.

"I love you too."

"Not like a mother."

"I know," she said. She turned his face toward her and a moment later their lips were together. Then she pulled back and said, "We have a time before they get here." With that she started to unbutton her shirt.

David's eyes grew wide and then a slight smile crossed his face. He began unbuttoning his own shirt. Then he spread his shirt on the grass and pulled his mother into his arms again and kissed her. He reached for her breasts as she grabbed his now hard cock.

As they kissed it started to rain. It was a warm rain that neither seemed to notice.
