 Subject: Mexican adventure (Mg cons)
Synopsis: Eliza is a twelve year old girl who grew up on the compound of
a cult.  She is sprung out by Dr.  Keaton and taken to meet her mother who
had left the compound almost 2 years earlier.  Along the way, things
connect and new discoveries are made.

   This is part 1 of the story.

   ----------

   It was supposed to be a quick stop over to check that the patient was
not in any life threatening situation.

   I arrived on the compound a little after 6 that evening and went
directly to the sleeping quarters where the woman was supposed to be
resting.

   "Good evening everyone." I announced as I entered the building.

   A number of ladies were in the room and two of them rushed over to meet
me.

   "I`m Marylin Sobers, She is right over here" the first lady said as she
directed me to a room off to the left side of the building.

   I was sitting at an outside table working my laptop some time later when
a movement from my right side interrupted me.  I turned to see a young girl
I knew from before of about 11 years old, coming to stand next we me.  Her
smile was enough to brighten a hundred houses.  She was skinny and had
straight black hair, parted down the centre; to the middle of her back it
seemed.  I could see that her breast had started to develop and stood about
an inch off her chest.

   "You`re the doctor" she said.  Quickly sitting on the bench next to me
and turning to face me.

   "Yes I am" I replied.  Observing her beautiful cream coloured face.  She
looked like she had Mexican heritage.  Rosy cheeks, unblemished healthy
skin and think eyebrows.  A high nose and that thick black main of hair. 
On previous visits I had spent some time playing with her and the other
children.  She had seemed to take a liking to me, although I never though
much of it.  She was quite popular, obviously the most beautiful girl here.

   The cult she was a part of had been on this compound for several years
at least 15 miles from anyone else.

   "Where do you work?" She asked.

   "I work at the University Hospital of Weiser.  It`s the largest hospital
in this region."

   "Oh." She said and smiled again.

   "Eliza!  what are you doing bothering the good doctor." A lady I knew as
Sandra came over, she was one of the cooks and very nice lady indeed.

   "She was just keeping my company.  It gets quite lonely sometimes." I
said to Sandra, as I stood to embrace her.

   "How is Mrs Gallagher coming along?" she asked.

   "I think she`ll be ok.  Looks like probably mild food poisoning or some
other stomach bug." I replied.

   "Good.  Wouldn`t you stay for the night I have some lasagna left over
from dinner and some turkey." Sandra said still holding my left hand in
hers as she gazed happily at my face.

   "We can catchup on what you`ve been up to." She continued.

   I had always found Sandra to be a woman, full of good counsel and
wisdom. I had spent many days talking with her and listening to her
stories.

   "Well sure Sandra, that would be good" I replied.

   "Good, come along Eliza, let`s fix some dinner for Dr.  Keaton." Sandra
said as she turned to go.

   "Ok bye." Eliza waved as she left to follow Sandra.  Looking back ever
so often to smile at me and wave.

   We were at the night time entertainment the following day and most of
the members had assembled to dance the night away before the work of the
next day.  I had danced with quite a few of the ladies and been
propositioned by no less than half.  When tired, I returned to my seat next
to Sandra so that I could take in the action for a change.  I had seen
Eliza as well dancing away with the local boys all of them eager to spend
as much time as possible with her.  The creamy skin, long thick black hair
and jet back eyes were certain to mesmerize them.  Our eyes had met on
occasion and she never failed to flash me that broad smile.

   "She loves you, you know" Sandra said suddenly.

   "ah who?" I asked, turning toward her.

   "Eliza, she`s been watching you every chance she got since you came in."

   "Really, I had not noticed." I lied.  I had seen her as well.  I had
tried not to look in her direction too often, but the girl was having an
impact on me.  I was supposed to leave in the morning, but Mrs.  Gallagher,
the lady I had come to see last evening was not doing so well and so I had
to stay on for a bit longer.

   "She is a really pleasant girl." Sandra said.  "I`ve been taking care of
her since her mother left.  She really should not still be in here." Sandra
continued, pulling her chair closer to mine.

   "There is talk around the women that the leader is going to send for her
the day after tomorrow." She whispered.

   "Oh?" I responded, my brow furrowed in confusion.

   "Yes; you know she`s twelve now.  It`s the custom here.  Once a girl
reaches twelve she goes to see the leader and the executive council and she
is then officially indoctrinated into the family.  Mr.  Sands is going to
have sex with her." Sandra said angrily.

   "Say it`s some sort of right of passage.  They should all burn." She
continued angrily.

   "She knows about this?" I asked Sandra, suddenly looking for the smiling
face in the crowd.

   "I told her yesterday morning after breakfast.  There have been so many
rumors I did not want anyone to tell her about it before I did.  Now that
her mother is not here and her grandmother and father are dead.  It`s up to
me to look after her."

   "Where`s her mother?" I asked.

   "Here she comes.  Hello my dear, you`ve been dancing your heart out I
see." Sandra cried merrily to Eliza who had just joined us.

   "Yes ma`am, the boys would hardly let me sit down." Eliza happily
replied, the words spilling out from her in rapid succession.

   "That`s because you`re so beautiful dear." Sandra said holding her hand
and smiling up at the child.

   "Why don`t you take the good doctor for a spin." she suggested.

   You could see the blush all over Eliza`s face as her eyes opened wide
staring at her caretaker.  She glanced back at me and I smiled at her
reassuringly.

   "I won`t step on your toes." I offered.  As I got up and reached for her
hand.

   Eliza glided into my arms easily and with the big smile on her face, she
bowed her head in typical little girl shyness and followed me onto the
floor.  We had danced two songs, when Eliza announced that she had to go to
the bathroom; running away quickly, before I even processed what was said.
Across room I noticed Sandra quickly rise to her feet and hurriedly
followed.

   The evening spoiled for me, I made a quick exit and went to my room to
prepare for bed.  The events of the past day rolling over and over in my
head.  I had been coming here for about 3 years at the request of the
council, but I had never thought that they were into child brides and
certainly not that they were having sex with them as an initiation.  But
where was her mother?  I would have to get an answer to that from Sandra in
the morning.

   As my mind wondered back, I remembered a few times I had played hide and
seek with the children, Eliza would come to hide in the same location where
I was sometimes.  On one occasion she had kissed me on the cheek, while I
was bending over watching for the other children as we hid.  It had
startled me a bit at first, but nevertheless I kissed her back on the cheek
not wanting to break a little girl`s heart.

   Another memory came into view suddenly.  I remember her sitting in my
lap on several occasions, both facing away and facing towards me. 
Seemingly when none of the other adults were around.  Sometimes I believe
she had even felt my erection which would sometimes swell under her
squirming bottom, or hot vagina.

   I had to admit it.  Sandra was right the girl probably did have a crush
me and I never really took it seriously.  I had just closed my eyes to try
to sleep when I was suddenly jarred awake.  Someone had silently come into
the room and was approaching my bed.  I arose and saw that it was Eliza.

   I went to her, opening my arms to embrace her.  She rested her head on
my chest and embraced me tightly.  Not saying anything.  I put my right
hand on her head stroking her hair and down her back.

   "Come sit down." I invited her as I sat back on the bed.

   "Are you ok?" I asked looking at her intently.

   "Yeah, I am.  Sorry I ran out on you tonight." she said.

   "It`s ok, you just owe me another dance that`s all." I replied and then
there was a pause.

   Eliza nodded her head as if thinking about it.  The thick mane of hair
flowing over her shoulders.

   "You wanna dance now?" Eliza asked looking up at my face.  I could see
hope in her eyes.  With the information I now had and my memory restored, I
accepted.  Rising from the bed, I took her hand, allowing her to lead me
into whatever she wanted to do.

   We danced something like a samba, cha cha cha or salsa.  I`m not sure.
But I hung in with her having danced with the group for so long.  Then we
went for a slow song.

   Eliza was looking up at me and as I looked down at her, I knew.  She was
falling for me hard.  I bent my head and kissed her forehead, even as my
mind started to raise red flags, my heart was starting up for a crescendo.
No doubt assisted by the closeness with which Eliza danced.

   She rested her head on my chest as we danced a "modified" waltz. 
Eliza`s left hand that would normally be around me slowly slipped away. 
Then I felt it.  A gentle brush against the front of my pants.  I dismissed
it, but then it came again, harder this time and slower.

   "It`s ok Eliza," I whispered.  "Go ahead."

   A few seconds later l felt her hand rest on the front of my trousers,
then press against me.  I placed my hand on top of hers and pressed it into
my hardening penis, letting her feel the emerging hardness.

   "It`s ok." I whispered once more.

   She did not remove her hand so I stopped dancing as the pretense was
quite over.  I bent down and kissed her cheek again, then onto her neck. 
Lingering on the softness of her skin.

   I felt her hand squeeze me and I reached forward my right hand between
her legs.  As I made contact with her, she pulled back from me slightly,
but not out of my arms.  I brought my arm forward some more and touched her
again.  This time she did not flinch and I cupped her young vagina in the
palm of my hand.  Soon her hand was back between my legs as well.

   As we groped each other I lifted my head and brought my lips to hers. 
Her kiss was soft and chaste.  I licked her lips, then I started to ease
her away.  This girl had awoken my desires and I wanted to feel her; taste
her; gobble her up.

   I looked in her eyes and I saw her desire was inflamed as well.  She
wanted my sexual contact and was hungry for it.  I reached under her arms
and lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around me.  I grabbed onto her
bottom and held her there.  I started to hump her vagina mound but as my
penis grew to full length I realized that this was not going to work.  It
was painfully locked in my underwear and the pain was getting too much.

   "Lie down" I whispered to her as I backed her towards the bed.

   Quickly reaching into the waistband of my trousers I grabbed a hold of
my penis and brought it upright agained my bladder.  Eliza sat on the bed
and I came towards her.

   "Go further up." I motioned to her and she pushed herself further up on
the bed.

   She was lying on the bed watching me.  Not knowing what I wanted to do,
but very much wanted to be a part of it.  The hormones likely screaming up
and down her body, making her breast swell and her vagina moist with
desire. Her stomach no doubt fluttering like a thousand butterflies.

   I walked on the bed to her side and watching her eyes for any
disapproval I reached for the hem of her dress and began to lift it up. 
She glanced at the dress as the hem rose higher, revealing her smooth
thighs and eventually her pink cotton panty.  I could see the swell of her
vagina in the outline of her panty and it made me so horny.  I lifted some
more until her panty was completely revealed and her flat stomach was
coming into view.  I stopped there and let the dress fall to her stomach.

   I bent my head and breathed in her scent.  My head immediately begin to
swim and my hormones when into overdrive.  I pressed my nose into the pad
of her mons as she spread her legs for me.  I looked up at her once more as
I dove in kissing her inner thighs just next to the panty fabric in the
juncture of her legs and crotch.  Licking and sucking her on both sides. 
Eliza moaned and raised her moistening vagina towards me encouraging me to
taste her.

   The smell of her sex was driving me insane as I continued to lick her
crotch area.  Refusing to touch her mons.  Finally I could not take it
anymore and I climbed up her body some more and kissed her neck then over
her head as I lay my body down onto hers.  Pressing my erect penis onto her
mons.

   Eliza wrapped her arms around me as I pulled back and then thrust
forward, bruising my penis against her vagina.  The feeling was heavenly, I
thought I was already going to cum.  Just the thought of humping this
beautiful girl was going to drive me to explode on her.

   I withdrew and thrust forward again.  The same delirious feeling washed
over me.  Eliza, feeling it as well, pressed her pelvis up, moaning as she
tried to maintain contact.  I withdrew again and thrust up against her,
again and again; over and over.  Eliza spread her legs some more, causing
her vagina to open, and allowing her clitoris to be pressed and stroked by
the up thrust from my organ.  My hips slamming into hers, our bellies
rubbing and my penis racing up and down the valley between her mons,
striking her moistened clitoris and sending numerous shocked throughout her
young body.

   I sensed my cum rising and so I needed to stop.  I slowed my thrusting
and pushed back.  On my knees and stepped back from Eliza`s spread body and
reached for her panty.  She obliged me and raised her hips to allow me to
slide it off.

   The panty removed, I coaxed her to spread herself for me by pressing my
hands on her legs.  She did not resist, but allowed me to feast my eyes on
her treasured opening.  Being only twelve, her vagina had a small patch of
hair just starting to grow above her clitoris hood, but the rest of it was
smooth and I was determined to get a taste.  Her tiny vagina hole was open
and I could see the dark recesses calling to me.  The minor lips framed
around it and the enlarged clitoris hump were glistening with fluid.  Her
vagina called to me and forced me to heed it`s bidding to put my mouth on
it and taste.  I obeyed.

   As my tongue made contact with the hole, Eliza moaned loudly, pulling
her legs still further and putting her hands on my head.  I proceeded to
eat her out.  Flicking my tongue around her hole and pinching each side of
her pubis mons with my lips.  My teeth grazing against her clitoris
repeatedly.

   I pressed my hand against her thighs to prevent them closing on me.  Her
vagina was not going to get away from my assault.  I started munching on
her clit some more, stroking the pubis mons and flicking her clitoris with
my tongue, then squeezing it and sucking it gently with my lips.  Eliza`s
pelvis surged under me and she pivoted to my left moaning out her
frustration.  I kept contact with her pussy and ate her out for another 3
minutes or so.  She was breathing hard, pushing her pelvis up to me as her
orgasm began.

   Eliza`s head flew back against the bed as the full blast of her first
orgasm hit like a tonne of bricks.  Air hissed through her clenched teeth
as she arched her back, pushing her spread vagina harder into my face.  I
kept mistering to her clitoris with my lips and the child responded,
squeezing my hands which were still on her thighs keeping them open.  She
pushed on my head.  But I pushed back, refusing to take my mouth from her
wonderful twelve year old sex.  Eliza arched and hissed a few more times as
she humped my face.  Her orgasm still running through her body.  At one
point I lost contact with her vagina.  Quickly I glanced down at its
loveliness and brought my lips back to it, finishing her off.

   As Eliza settled after that powerful cum, I raised my head and watched
her face.  She was smiling at me as I gently stroked her vagina.  Still
horny, still wanting.

   Laying beside her I pushed her dress back down as she turned and kiss me
on the lips.  I drank her in.  Pushing my tongue against her teeth.  She
withdrew and then came forward again.  This time as I pushed against her
teeth, she opened her mouth and allowed my tongue to reach into her mouth
and I tasted her mouth.  Her tongue greeted mine as they twisted and toyed
with each other.

   Our mouths tiring.  I withdrew from her face and lay watching her as she
lay, watching me.

   "That was fantastic.  You taste so good." I said to her.

   Eliza smiled.  No doubt still shy after what we had just done.  She sat
up and began to put her panty back on.  I watch mesmerized by her beauty
and sexuality.  Just watching her little pink panty as she held it in her
hand was arousing.

   Eliza lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.  Her chest rising and
falling in gentle waves of contentment.

   We talked for a few more minutes about my work and her life here in the
compound.  The child was truly beautiful.

   "You had better go back before they start looking for you".  I said.

   "Aunty Sandra knows I`m here." Eliza said turning towards me.  "She said
I should come and say good night."

   We both burst out laughing as this.

   "Well she is probably wondering what happened to you."

   "Ok.  Are you leaving tomorrow?  Are you coming back?"

   "Yes, I have to get back to work"

   "Please don`t go, please don`t leave me here.  I want to go with you. 
Please!  Doctor Keaton.  Please take me with you.  Please take me to my
mother?"

   Eliza broke down then, crying in my arms.

   I wrapped my arms around her and held her as she cried.  This is going
to get really tricky.  I thought to myself as I held the sobbing child.

   After minute or two she eased up.

   "I`ll come back ok.  I`ll come back tomorrow.  But if I don`t go I would
not be able to come back.  The people I work for would be upset and would
not let me come back for you.  So I have to go in the morning, I may be
gone by the time you wake up but I`ll come back ok, I promise." My heart
was breaking for this child.  She had been through an ordeal, with her
mother gone or missing and then finding out that she had to have sex with
some stranger or maybe more than one in two days time.

   Eliza rose up and looked at me through tear strained eyes.  "You promise
you`ll come back for me.  And help me find my mother?"

   "Yes I promise" I said.  Staring at her intently.

   At that she wiped her tears and leaned over.  Kissing me on the cheek,
before getting off the bed to go back to her room.

   Why did life have to be like this for some children.  My horniness gone
for the moment, I spent the rest of the night figuring out what I was going
to do.  How was I going to get her out of here and even when she is out;
what then?

   At 5 o clock in the morning I had a visitor.  One whom I had hoped I
would meet before I left.

   Sandra knocked on the door, before entering.

   "Thank you Mike" Sandra said as she saw me.

   "What for?" I asked, as I looked at her unable to put all of my thoughts
into words.

   "Agreeing to take Eliza.  Before her mother left she told me to do
whatever I can to get her daughter out of here.  This is the address she
gave me where she would be." Sandra said handing me a piece of paper.

   "You knew she was leaving?  Why didn`t she take Eliza?" I asked the
confusion swirling.

   "It was too dangerous.  She did not know if she would be caught, where
she was going...  She needed to move quickly and quietly.  But she did not
know whether life would be better out there or in here.  But she knew I
would take care of Eliza.  I realize it might seem like she abandoned the
child but, it was not so.  She loves her daughter and she would do anything
for here.  But Mercedes had to get herself sorted first and then she would
wait.  Until I could get Eliza out."

   "So this was your plan.  You want me to take Eliza out to her mother."

   "Yes.  But then you must never come back here." She said sternly.  We
both paused as the words sank in.

   "Then you have to come with us." Once they see her missing they will
suspect that you know something.  First her mother escapes then her
daughter.  They will come for you."

   "That may be true.  But I have a purpose here and I`m going to stand and
do it."

   "Sandra; I --"

   "No." Sandra said firmly.  "You go and take the child.  She does not
have much longer."

   I stood in shock for some time after she left, staring at the address
she gave me.  Soon however it was time to go.  My check had been dropped
off and I was ready to go.

   Turning out the lights I stepped outside.  No cars were allowed in the
compound and so I walked to the gate, where the guard signed me out.

   I arrived at the office by 7AM that morning and went through my daily
task.  My mind however was focused on a private compound 50 miles away and
a child who needed me and a woman I had in the last 3 hours developed a
deeper respect for.

   The evening came and I left the office, loading my car with the things I
would need at the local hardware and headed east.

   Arriving at the compound I walked in and presented my bag to the guard
to check as per usual.

   As I turned the corner to my building I saw Eliza on the bench were we
sat the day before.  Sandra was with her.  I saw Eliza start to move, but
Sandra held her back.  I saw Eliza look questioningly at Sandra, but Sandra
kept her arm on the child.

   I nodded towards them and went into my building.  I put my things down
and peeked outside, but they were not on the bench any longer.

   I put the thoughts of what I was planning to do out of my mind and
assembling my medical instruments I went over to see Mrs.  Gallagher.

   "Dr.  Keaton.  So nice to see you back again" I turned to see the person
speaking to me.  It was the leader of the compound; Mr.  Sands.

   "Hello Mr.  Sands.  How are you today." I greeted him.

   "I`m doing quite well.  You`ve come to check on Mrs.  Gallagher no
doubt."

   "Yes sir, I checked her over yesterday, but there were some
complications so I decided that I should have another check today.  Just so
everything keeps on a low profile as you indicated."

   "Excellent.  My good man.  I`ve always known I could count on you to be
discrete." Mr.  Sands continued.  The thought of him going after the young
girls suddenly barreled into my head and I felt my body temperature begin
to rise.

   "Well carry along, I have to go speak with Sandra.  Do come around for
dinner when you are finished." He called, as he walked in the direction of
the main kitchen.

   He was such a pleasant man.  But such a dark understanding.  I shall not
be sorry to see the last of this place.

   Mrs.  Gallagher was pleased to see me and had improved significantly. 
The temperature was gone and she was feeling quite strong.  In fact she was
sitting up in bed as I arrived.

   "I was wondering when you would get here." She started as I came through
the door.

   "Good evening Mrs.  Gallagher." How are you feeling?

   "Like I`ve just come out of a jungle and the sun is shining." She
replied.

   "Fantastic." I said and proceeded to give her a checkup to confirm that
everything was back in order.

   "That`s great Mrs.  Gallagher.  You can return home as soon as you are
ready."

   "Good.  Think I`ll go tonight.  Can`t stand another day in this place."
She said referring to the medical wing.

   Finishing my rounds I returned to my room to put my cases down and have
a drink.  I found a note in my refrigerator from Sandra asking me to meet
her at 8pm next to the fitness room.

   I saw both her and Eliza at dinner.  I could not keep my eyes off them.
I noticed Sandra was looking at me intently at one time and I nodded to her
indicating that I saw her message.  She nodded back.  I smiled at Eliza and
she started smiling all over her face like she had won a prize.  The other
children around her started looking around to see what had gotten her so
happy, but I was already looking elsewhere.  I now understood.  Sandra was
making sure that the three of us kept apart today so as not to arouse any
suspicion.

   I did see Mrs Gallagher at dinner as well.  She seemed to be smelling
her food and taking small samples like she was tasting it or something.  I
smiled.  She saw me and waved.

   I did stop by Mr.  Sands but I was told he was engaged with the planning
of the ceremony tomorrow.

   At 7:55PM I made my way to the fitness area, staying in the shadows as
much as possible.

   Soon I heard the noise of approaching footsteps.  I crouched down and
waited.  Suddenly around the corner was Sandra.  I stood and she jumped.

   "You startled me" Sandra whispered angrily.  Before giving me a hug.

   "I`m sorry, my dear"

   "Ok.  So tonight is the night yes.  She can`t be here tomorrow"

   "Yes" I nodded.  Sensing the urgency in her voice.

   "Ok.  Do you need anything?  Do you have a plan?" She asked.

   "Well I have my things behind the fence behind the school.  I just need
to dig under the fence to get them, use them to cut the fence and we can go
out."

   "No, no, no" Sandra said.  "I have already made an opening in the fence
behind the school you don`t need to cut it.  I can reseal it after you
leave.  In the daylight you would have to look closely to notice something.


   I`ve been taking some cake for the guard once and a while for the past
two weeks waiting for this day.  So I`m going to take him some around
10:30. That will put him to sleep by 11.  Then you can go, but you must be
gone before twelve.  Where is your car?"

   "I have it in the old tunnel about 400 meters from here." I replied.

   "Ok.  When the guard is asleep I will come and knock on your door 4
times.  You have the address correct?"

   "Yes I do".

   "Good." She smiled, finally satisfied.  She gave me another hug.

   "Take care of my baby Mike.  If anything happens to her I`ll come find
you." Then she left.

   I returned quietly to my room, nervous and anxious of the impending
escape.  I opened the door and there was Eliza.  Waiting for me.

   "You came back!" She cried as she squeezed me tight.

   "You`re squeezing too hard." I croaked out.

   "Sorry" she said as she stepped back.

   "It`s ok kiddo" I said as I reached for her and embraced her once more.

   "You`re all packed?"

   "No I can`t pack yet, as that would alert the other girls." Eliza said.
"I have to wait until they are asleep.  Aunty Sandra said I can`t take much
because it would take too long to pack and one of the girls might wake up,
so most of the things I am taking are already over by her."

   "That is one smart lady."

   "Yes.  She gave me these tablets for you to put back in the infirmary."
Eliza said indicating a box on the table.

   I checked and they were a set of sleeping tablets I keep for patients
who are unable to sleep normally for whatever reason.  I noticed that a few
were missing.  No doubt the guard would be administered one of those
tonight.

   "So what do you want to do?" I asked her, putting the box down.  Eliza
smiled ear to ear and fell back on the bed with her hands above her head,
legs slightly spread.  The little pixie face smiling brightly, she was
irresistible.

   "You`re going to get me in some serious trouble you know that?" I said
smiling at her as I approached the bed.

   Eliza just smiled, as she reached one hand down and started to pull her
dress up.  In a second I was hard as her creamy thighs came into view
followed by the curvature of her mound covered by a tight, yellow panty.

   As I approached, she spread her legs and I could see the hollow decent
where her hole would be and the prominent swelling of her mons.  I kneeled
at the bedside and pressing my face to her centre I inhaled her fragrance
and was instantly transformed.

   I climbed over her, adjusting my penis at the same time.  Coming to rest
on her body I started humping her quickly.  Driving my hardness into her
softness.  The ecstasy came over my body and I placed my elbows at the side
of her shoulders and pressed into her.  Thrusting hard into her tender
mound.  Eliza wrapped her legs around me, crossing her ankles behind my
humping bottom.  My hips driving into hers as our bellies smashed together
over and over for the next 2 minutes.

   Sensing my cum once more I pulled back.  Feeling the muscles in my
crotch pulsating at the withdrawal from climax.

   Once more I reached for her panty and after removing it, I feasted on
her soaking vagina.  Sucking her ample clitoris and nursing it with my
lips. From side to side and racked my mouth over her vagina and then around
in circles.  Eliza moaned and shook her head from side to side.  Her pelvis
moving rhythmically as she rose higher and higher towards her orgasm.

   Then I stopped.

   Lifting myself off her succulent vagina.  Eliza looked at me, confusion
all over her face.  She could not understand what could have caused me to
stop giving her such pleasure.  My penis was screaming for release and I
had to give it what it was denied twice.

   "Why are you stopping" Eliza asked.

   "Just changing around" I said as I helped her put her panty back on.

   Once done I lay down and had her get on top of me.  Seating her on my
rigid penis I showed her the basic movements and how to raise and lower
herself to increase the sensation on her clitoris.  Pretty soon she was off
and running humping me with an urgency that defied her age and experience.

   I watched her as she scrubbed back and forth over my enlarged penis. 
Since we were clothed friction was minimal, but I could still feel whenever
her mound of flesh crashed against my cockhead.

   I reached my hands under her dress and placed one of each of her plum
sized breast.  Pinching the nipples between two fingers as the palm of my
hand caressed the smooth tissue around.

   "Ah --.  Hmmm" Eliza moaned as this new sensation.  Her humping becoming
more eratic.  Another 5 or 6 thrust back and Eliza came.  She pushed back
and came suddenly.  Stopping her from all other motion.  She fell forward
onto me so I held onto her bottom and started thrusting into her spread wet
twelve year old panty covered pussy.

   "ahhhhhhhhhh" Eliza cried as the feelings produced by my thumping into
her vagina sent punishing emotions through her.  Fortunately for her I
started to come and grabbing one globe of her skinny bottom.  I pressed her
onto my penis and came hard in my pants.  The semen flooding my trousers
and soaking my stomach.

   After it subsided Eliza rolled off of me and rested on her side.

   We spoke about the upcoming escape and what she would miss about the
compound where she had grown up.  The need to see her mother was greater
however and so a change of mind was never going to happen.

   "I`m going back over to aunty Sandra." She said after a few minutes.

   "Ok see you later"

   "Bye." She said as she gave me a kiss on the lips.

   I finished my packing and at 10:43 there were four knocks on the door.
Immediately my adrenaline rushed and I was up.  Grabbing what I needed, I
exited the building at 10:50 and went to the location by the school.  Eliza
and Sandra were there already and the fence was open.

   Quickly Eliza and I went through the fence and Sandra began reconnecting
it to the rest.

   "Good bye aunty." Eliza said.  Tears in her eyes.  As she held onto the
fence.

   "Go now child.  Mike will take you to your mother." Sandra said.  "It`s
going to be ok".  Her hands working quickly on the fence.

   "Please come with us Sandra." I said.

   "We`ve already been through this, now go" Sandra said firmly.

   I pulled Eliza from the fence and we ran to the car some 400 metres
away.

   FREEDOM

   I had taken a week`s leave from work and had been driving for an entire
day, doing our best to get the most distance from the compound as possible.
I had changed the car at the first car dealership I found as another
measure to ensure our security.

   Eliza spent most of the day looking out the window at the many things
she never knew about or had never seen in real life.  Her shock or excited
responses bringing joy to the otherwise problematic situation.  I became
the teacher, giving her the names and explanations as we went along.  It
was a joy to witness her trying to absorb it all with the wonder of a
child. In the next two days I would give her more knowledge than some
children get in a year.

   Occasionally I glanced at her as we travelled.  My emotions varied
greatly, from anger at the cult, to love for her, to lust as sometimes she
would put her foot in the chair.  Thereby revealing long silky creamy legs
and a glimpse of a red panty beneath covering her sweet sex.  Sometimes I
imagined raising her as my daughter.  Other times I worried over Sandra. 
More often than not I just asked myself what the hell are you doing?

   There were some restaurants along the way but we did not stop in case we
were recognized by any of the folk later one.  Sandra had given us enough
food and drink for two days.  We took rest breaks every 3 hours for 20
minutes and then drove again.

   "I`m going to check us into the next motel I said on the second day.  We
need to bathe".

   "Yeah, you stink." Eliza said smiling.

   I saw a cheap looking badly kept place that would not ask too many
questions.  We checked in under false names and I paid cash for one night.

   I let her bath first while I rechecked the map to ensure I was still
going in the correct direction and we would have enough rest stops along
the way.  The address Sandra gave me was about 60 miles away.  We should be
able to get there in the morning easily.  We were out of food and water so
I ordered pizza and had it delivered.

   Smelling fresh and with bellies full we settled down to watch some
television.  I searched, but there was no news of Eliza`s escape.  Which I
had expected.  My office had called to say that Mr.  Sands had called a few
times, but I was certainly not going to return the call.

   I think I will have to transfer to another hospital so as to be out of
his reach.

   We both slept soundly after two hard days on the road.

   When morning came we were saddled up and out of the hotel by 6AM.  Not
even going for breakfast.  I had wanted to go down on the little girl
before we left, but she was sleeping.  I could not resist and did have good
feel up of her young body however while she was asleep.

   As we hit the road I got some drive through breakfast for us and we kept
moving.  By 7:30 we arrived at the address Sandra had given me.  It was in
a nice looking neighborhood.  The house was of a wall construction and had
a fence around it.  We stopped on the street and observed the house.

   "Well this is it Eliza.  Your mom is supposed to be in there." I said
looking at her.  I could see the hope and excitement in her eyes.

   "Come on lets go." I got out of the car with her and we approached the
house.

   I knocked on the door and a lady looked out, then she opened the door.

   "Yes; can I help you?" She asked.  Looking at me and then Eliza.

   "Good morning, we are looking for Mercedes Bennet.  I was told she would
be here."

   "Come in" she said and stepped back from the door.

   "Is my mom here" Eliza asked excitedly as she stepped through the
doorway.

   "Come and sit down honey." The lady said.  As we entered the living
room.

   "Is my mom here?" Eliza asked again.  I could hear fear beginning to
rise in her voice.

   The lady blinked several times as if fighting to not say what she had to
say.

   "I`m afraid not honey." She finally said.

   At this Eliza erupted into tears, burying her face in my side.

   "I`m truly sorry Eliza." the lady continued.

   "Wait how do you know her name?" I asked, suddenly alarmed.

   "Her mother is not here; but I met her.  She was here.  She moved in
with me over a year ago, but she left about 4 months ago.  She told me to
expect you and to let you know where she is going to be."

   The news got Eliza`s attention and she turned her head to look at the
woman.

   "She had gotten a job at the supermarket packing shelves, but she had a
falling out with the manager and they fired her.  She could not find any
work anywhere else so she said she would have to move on to another town
and get another job so that when you came she would be able to provide for
you.  Your mother loves you very much Eliza and she was waiting for you."

   "So where is she now, how can we find her?" I asked.

   "Here let me get the things" the lady said going to a set of drawers in
the side of the house.

   "and what`s your name?" I asked

   "Jennifer" she answered, stooping down to pull an envelope from between
some other books.  "Here.  She sent this for you after she got into the
next town.  In case you had arrived."

   Returning, Jennifer handed Eliza a thick envelope which she opened.  I
contained Eliza`s ID card, pictures, birth certificate and a letter.

   "She didn`t say which town she was going to?" I asked.

   "I think I wrote it down somewhere." Jennifer said hurrying over to the
kitchen table where there was a large notepad.  Flipping back through the
pages she found what she was looking for.

   "Yes, she said she would try Oakley.  It`s a little town about 30 miles
from here.  She also bought a cellular phone.  The number is 515-568-7894."


   I quickly whipped out my phone to call the number.

   "I tried it a few times last month, but she doesn`t answer anymore."
Jennifer said watching me.

   Sure enough the call went into voicemail and I hung up.

   "Is there anything else you can think of?  Did she have any other
friends?  Did she say where she was living?" I pressed, hoping to find this
woman today.

   "When she got to Oakley she told me that she found an apartment, but I
didn`t ask her for the address.  I`m sure you`ll find her."

   "It`s in here!" Eliza suddenly cried out.  She had been reading the
letter that her mom had left.

   "She told me where to meet her!  She told me where she will be!!" Eliza
jumped up and down a few times, hugging me a little too tight before
handing me the letter.

   Mercedes had indeed said to meet her at a specific bus stop, and she
would be there between 8 and 10PM every day waiting for her daughter. 
Tears began to wet my eyes as I considered the intensity of this mother`s
love and patience.  How she had escaped and then planned ahead for this
day.

   I glanced at Jennifer and for some reason she didn`t look that excited.
There was a smile, but the expression on the rest of her face told a
different story.  I meant to ask her another question but Eliza tugged at
me arm.

   "Can we go now, I want to see my mom."

   "Ok sure honey." I replied pensively.  Glancing again at Jennifer who
smiled back.

   "I really hope you find her.  She talked about you nearly every day
Eliza.  She missed you so much."

   "Thank you." Eliza said and rushed into Jennifer`s arms, hugging her
tightly.  Her thanks were so effusive, Jennifer also started to get teary
eyed.

   "Ok, let`s get moving." I said turning for the door.

   "Thanks so much.  You`ve really been a great friend to Mercedes and
Eliza" I said as I paused at the door for Jennifer.

   "Good luck" She said as we turned to go.

   Back in the car I got my map out and looked for the town of Oakley.

   We arrived some minutes later and after checking the letter we found the
bus stop Mercedes had indicated.

   "Just think Mike, she`s been here every day, sitting on this bench
waiting for me and now I`m here" Eliza said, sitting on the bench and
caressing its hard wood in awe as if she could feel her mother`s presence.

   I allowed her a few more seconds to think fondly on what was going to
transpire that night, but there were things that needed to be done and time
was moving on.

   "Well we have another 10 hours before she gets here and I have to do
some things.  We also need some clothes and lunch.  So let`s go.  Come on."


   The next two hours were spent buying new clothes for the both of us. 
More her than me, I could go back home and pack.  I pulled in at a hotel
around 1 in the afternoon and once more paid cash.

   We settled down in the room and I started to work.  Connecting to the
wifi, I started looking at other hospitals in the state that I could apply
to as Eliza dressed in her new swim suit and went to the pool.  I called my
manager and spoke to her about my desire to leave Weiser.  She was very
accommodating and offered some more hospitals that I could try.  I tendered
my resignation then and sent the applications to various hospitals based on
the names she had given me.

   The business done, I changed into a new pair of swim trunks and went to
join Eliza in the pool.

   I got into the pool just as Eliza noticed me.  She came over and wrapped
her legs around me hugging me to her.

   "Thank you Mike." She said as she pressed her face to my bare chest.

   "You`re most welcome" I said stroking her hair.

   "Do you think she will be there?" she asked looking up at me.

   "I`m sure.  Your mom loves you very much, she not going to give up."

   After a brief moment Eliza leaned back and released my legs shouting,
"Come catch me!" As she turned and tried to run away.

   I gave her a few seconds, then I gave chase.  We played in the pool for
well over half an hour before I pulled myself out and sat on one of the
beach chairs to rest a bit.  Other guests were milling around and I was
watching them, when Eliza pulled herself out of the pool, ran over and
plopped herself in the chair next to mine.  It was great to see her so
happy.

   Over the last couple days I had really grown to love this girl.  She was
intelligent although sheltered, so after we left the compound there were so
many things that amazed her.  The shops, the people and the clothes.  It
was a whole new world for her to explore and I wanted to explore it with
her.

   " --know"

   "huh?  I didn`t catch anything that you were saying." I was so caught up
in my thoughts I hardly heard anything she was saying.

   "You weren`t listening to me." Eliza cried indignantly.  Then, getting
up she came over and sat in my lap, a towel wrapped around her.

   "I was saying that I wonder where I would go to school, there aren`t
going to be any children there that I would know."

   "It`s going to be ok hun.  You`re a beautiful girl and you have a
fantastic personality, you`re smart and you`re strong.  We`re going to get
the best school for you."

   "I love you Mike" she said suddenly.  Staring at me.

   "I love you Eliza" I said staring intently back at her.

   "I wish you could be my dad" She said.  Looking down at her hands.

   There was nothing I could say, so I opted the change the mood.

   "Race you to the water slide!" I shouted and almost dropped her off my
leg as I stood up.

   I raced with her into the pool and we played some more.  I then thought
I`d teach her to lay float.  Now that she was out, there are some things
that she had to be able to do in order to fit in with the other kids. 
There was so many things for her to know, this I think would be an easy one
to cross off the list.

   Gathering her in my arms I had her lay back.  After a few tries in
between other games we played she started to get comfortable with the
water. Finally I was able to place my fingers lightly on her lower back
while she floated, her legs dipped a bit, but I got her to move them
slightly in order to keep them up.

   Floating in front of me she was gorgeous, the thick black hair was
fanned out all around her fine featured porcelain head.  Her upturned nose
and pink lips, as inviting as ever for a kiss.  The small plum size breasts
forming gentle hills on her chest.  Her flat tummy hidden under the swim
suit and then the gentle rise of her mons between her gently spread legs
was so intoxicating.  I found myself looking constantly at the swelling of
her privates and the curve of the material as it went down to her crotch.

   She had been floating for about 1 minute before she jumped up.

   "Wow that was great" I said congratulating her.

   "It was so peaceful" she said wiping the water from her face.  Then she
jumped onto me, wrapping her legs around me.  Her mons resting on my penis
which had grown after I had been ogling the little girl`s body.

   Eliza looked up and me and smiled.  She started bobbing up and down on
me, hitting my swollen organ on purpose.

   "I`m ready to go out now." she then said and started to go out of the
pool.

   "Ok let`s go" I replied.  Dipping quickly I secured my cock and then
started to follow her out.

   As I came out of the water, Eliza was standing with the towel drying her
hair and watching me as I emerged.  I saw her eyes dip to look at my half
swollen member.  I also glanced down to see how much it was showing.  I
almost blushed when I noticed that the pants had stuck to my legs and so
the swelling of my penis was even more pronounced.

   I quickly pulled at the legs of the pants so as to try to look more
normal.  Glancing at Eliza, I saw her smile.  She was looking.  I then
decided to just let her watch and walked calmly to the chair were I
retrieved a towel.

   We were back in the room soon afterwards and I told Eliza to go and have
a shower as the pool water contained something called chlorine that you
needed to get off your skin.

   "Ok" she said and went to the bathroom.

   Raising the A/C temperature to something warmer, I striped while she was
gone and dried myself.  I then changed back into the clothes I had on
before while I waited for her to come out.

   I was watching television when Eliza emerged from the bathroom a few
minutes later and said the bath is free.  I looked across at her as I got
up to go into the bath and she was naked.  Having dropped the towel around
her on the bed, while keeping another in her hair.  Eliza was in no hurry
to cover up and untied the towel in her hair and started to dry it.

   Quietly, I removed my shirt, then reached into the waist band of my
pants and pushed my trousers and underwear down.  Revealing to her my full
nakedness.  If she was going to show herself to me then I could to do the
same.

   Then I slowly walked to the shower.  I could see she was staring at my
penis then looking at my face.  I took my time allowing her to get a full
view of what a man`s body looks like while also taking in her naked beauty.

   Her breasts were more beautiful than I anticipated with large slightly
pink tips.  Her body was so perfectly shaped and then the small V of her
vagina was perfect.  She was a perfect angel.  After passing her I paused
to look back at her ass.  It was not pronounced like an African girl would
be but not as flat as an American girl.  It was sufficient for me and sexy
to observe.  The cheeks were big enough to make the crease where they
joined her legs and the upside down heart shape was evident.  They did not
swell to the side like a fat girl, but projected straight backwards because
she was a skinny child.

   I was quick in the shower, not wanting to be away from her beauty.  When
I came out naked and wilted however she was under the sheets watching
something on the television.

   She look at me for several seconds then back at the television.  I went
to the chest of drawers to get something to put on, but then I noticed that
she had moved.  Looking behind me I realized that she was now standing in
the bed looking at me, with the only garment being a black panty.

   I turned and walked back towards her and she came towards me also.  Our
eyes trained on each other and I stepped up on the bed, never breaking
contact and reached for her.  Our lips met, our arms wrapped around each
other and sweet bliss surged through me.  My penis began to grow at a
furious rate and was hard and pulsing in seconds.

   "I want you to do it to me." the child whispered.  "Please".

   I kissed her neck in response, my right hand dipping to caress her
vagina, and my left went to her sweet bottom, pulling her to me.  I kissed
and sucked on her soft aureole before moving onto her swollen left nipple,
flicking the nipple with my tongue and covering the whole mass in my mouth,
my hands moving below swirling her plump vagina lips and caressing her ass.

   The twelve year old was on fire with desire.  Her breathing was hard as
she wriggled under my assault.  The right breast was next for me to attack.
I kissed and sucked the aureole all around her nipples, dipping slightly so
I could kiss and suckle under the nipples.  Coming back up I closed my lips
on her enlarged nipple flicking it with my tongue.  Up and down, left and
right.  Then I swirled my tongue around it several times.

   Eliza moaned in my arms as I consumed her body.  My left hand on her
ass, pulling and squeezing the ample flesh even as it pulled her harder
onto the fingers of my right hand which were pressed against her mons, on
top of her clitoris and moving firmly in a circular motion.

   Eliza was humping her young body on me as I drove her twelve year old
body to dizzying heights of arousal she had never experienced before.

   "I want you so bad Eliza.  I want to be inside you so much" I breathed
as I squeezed her nearly bald vagina harder for emphasis.

   I kneeled down in front of her and holding onto the waistline of her
panty I quickly tugged it down.

   As the cotton fabric passed over the top of her mons I noticed that the
hair was missing.  I paused to look up at her and smiled.

   "I shaved it just now with your razor." Eliza said looking down at me
and smiling.

   Looking back down at her vagina I felt like a kid in a candy store and
hastened to get her panty off so I could start to eat.  As the base of her
moistened vagina came into view, I reached out instantly like a hungry
animal who had just spied a piece of meat.  Putting my left hand on her
butt cheeks I leaned in and closed my lips against her swollen mons.  Then
angling my head lower, I brought my tongue up to her vagina hole and licked
it as my mouth opened again to devour the entire organ pressing the lips
together.

   Eliza moaned out her mounting desire.  Without taking my mouth from
between her legs, I completely removed her panty and she stepped out of it,
lying back on the bed with her legs spread.

   I crawled to her like an obedient slave, driven by a desire to suck, to
taste, to fuck.  Placing my hands on her inner thighs I raised her legs up
and brought my mouth back to her sweet vagina.  I licked her and sucked her
moist vagina.  I placed my thumbs at the sides of her entrance and spread
her swollen lips open, looking for a hymen.  As her vagina flowered open, I
saw her inner recesses.  The hymen, like a rose, intact and shining in her
arousal.  I pointed my tongue and licked against it, tasting her strong
flavor.  This action casing Eliza to arch her back.  After a few moments of
attacking her hole, I went back to her clit, massaging it with my lips as I
brought my fingers to her entrance and began to stroke her there, hoping to
breach her hymen without too much pain.

   Eliza by this time was beside herself as I kept up squeezing her
clitoris and massaging her major lips between mine, moving my mouth around
and around squeezing her vagina as I went.

   Eliza started to orgasm and as soon as she arched heavily I knew this
was the major one and I pushed my finger hard into her vagina.  Breaking
through the hymen with my middle finger and lodging it completely inside as
Eliza continued to spasm.  I removed and inserted two more times into her
before her orgasm came to an end.

   Rising up over her I kissed her forehead, then her cheeks.

   "hmm, I felt you inside me" she said.

   "Oh that was just my finger, I had to open you up first."

   "It still hurts a bit" Eliza said, reaching down to touch herself.  "I`m
bleeding?"

   "Don`t get worried, that`s just your hymen.  It`s a small skin inside
that partly covers your entrance.  So it had to get removed before we can
do it"

   "Oh, ok."

   "I have to go wipe my finger off, and you should come and get that blood
washed off before it gets on the sheet." I said after we had rested a few
minutes.

   Eliza followed me in to the bathroom and stepped into the shower to wash
herself off.  I cleaned my finger and went back into the bedroom and
started to get dressed.  Eliza arrived soon.

   "I thought we were going to do it now?"

   "I`d love to but you may get pregnant and I don`t want that to happen to
you."

   "You mean have a baby?"

   "Yes"

   "But how?  Aren`t I too small?"

   "Well, yes and no.  You`re a little too small to be carrying a baby for
nine months, but you can get pregnant if I orgasm inside of you.  My penis
lets out sperm when I orgasm which would make a baby inside you when it
reaches your eggs.  Didn`t aunty Sandra go over this with you?"

   "I probably was not listening." she smiled at me.

   "Let`s have something to eat, it`s just after 4" I suggested.

   "Can we order in?  I`m a bit tired." Eliza said.

   I called the kitchen and ordered up some food which was enjoyed in front
of the television.

   For the next few hours we nervously watched the clock, glancing at it
every 15 to 20 minutes.  It seemed time never moved so slowly.  When it
stuck 7 however we could not contain ourselves any longer.  Clearing up the
food tray and placing it outside the door we hurried to the car to get to
the bus stop.

    -ƒ

   REUNION

   I parked the car nearby and we walked over to the bench.  Eliza running
ahead with excitement, as I fought the lump that was developing in my
throat.  I`d been with her only 4 days but I was going to miss her so much.

   "Hurry up!" she called taking a seat on the bench.

   "She`s almost here!!" Eliza chirped, clapping her hands excitedly.

   "Come on what time is it?" she asked.

   "Two minutes since you last asked me." I said smiling as I sat beside
her.

   Eliza looked left and right, behind and in front hoping to catch a
glimpse of her mother on her way to the bench.  Her legs in constant motion
switching this way and that as she squirmed for a better view.

   "Look!" Eliza called suddenly after we had been there about 8 minutes,
pointing down the street at a person walking towards us.  It was 7:56PM.

   "Do you think that`s her?"

   The person was still 200 meters off and it was hard to see in the dark.
I did notice that the person started the walk faster as if something was
beckoning them forward.

   "It could be --" I said.

   Eliza stood up slowly, staring intently at the figure now 150 meters
away.  My heart leapt suddenly and I stood as the person started running
towards us.  I could now tell that it was a woman for I could see the hair
flowing behind her.

   Suddenly Eliza broke away and ran towards the lady.

   "Mommy!!!" She cried.  Closing the distance between them in breakneck
speed.

   "Eliza!!" I heard Mercedes yell.  Now running in a full sprint.

   The impact of the two bodies slamming into each other was quite audible.
The force almost knocking Mercedes back onto the ground as she held her
daughter for the first in probably 2 years.

   Tears flowed freely for several seconds between them as neither seemed
ready to let go.  I had come to stand close by, and Mercedes stood to greet
me.  Up close I recognized her as Eliza`s mother from my previous trips to
the compound.

   "Michael, I knew you`d be the one" she said, hugging me over Eliza who
was still holding onto her mother tightly.

   "Thank you so much." She gushed, still hugging me tightly.

   "You`re most welcome." I said finally as we separated.

   "Are you staying in the area?" she asked.

   "Yes we checked in at the Holiday Inn a few blocks away.  We can go and
collect her things if you like.  We`ve already had some dinner as well."

   "Ok, thanks.  I don`t know how I could ever thank you for bringing her
to me.  I hope it was not too much trouble"

   "It was --.  ahh an interesting journey."

   "Aunty Sandra let us out and we had to drive for two days, then we met
Jennifer and she gave me the letter that told us where to come.  Mom, and
you waited for me.  You waited for me."

   Mercedes knelt down in front of Eliza.

   "I love you Eliza, and I`d never stop waiting for you.  Every day for a
million years.  Because if I don`t have you there is nothing else."

   Eliza hugged her mom so tight I thought her belly might start to come
out of her mouth any moment now.

   "You`re ready?  Do you have a car as yet?" I asked.

   "No, I`ve been saving to get a nice apartment for me and Eliza, and then
I had to think about school and stuff." Mercedes said.

   "Ok, my car is over here."

   I led them to the car and we drove to the hotel.  Eliza and Mercedes sat
in the back hugging and kissing.

   We put together Eliza`s things and I offered to take them to her
apartment.  We arrived there in about 30 minutes and unloaded the car.  The
lump in my throat refused to go away and had instead grown bigger with
every passing moment.

   "Are you staying in town?" Mercedes asked as we sat in her living room.
Eliza had gone to put her things away.

   "I don`t know yet.  I`m waiting for a job opening."

   "But I thought you worked at the hospital in Weiser?"

   "After we sprung Eliza from the compound, Mr.  Sands kept calling the
office.  I guess he figured out that I was the one that took her.  So
rather than have them in that position I decided that it would be best if I
left and found another job."

   "Oh I`m so sorry you had to do that."

   "Well.  It was necessary.  Either that or have him bothering me after I
go back.  I took some holiday leave to find you."

   "You are a wonderful man, Michael Keaton.  Ever since I saw you and
Eliza together and how she would be following you around.  I knew that
you`d be someone we could trust.  I had to get out of there Mike."

   "I understand."

   "I didn`t want to go, but I knew I had to."

   "Well I`m going to make my way home." I said finally.

   Mercedes stood as well as and called Eliza to the room.

   "You`re going?" She asked on seeing me standing.  She came over and gave
me another hug.  "I love you," she whispered in my ear and gave me a kiss.

   At this time I really got teary eyed.  I hugged her tight and kissed her
on the cheek.  I stood and wiped my face while Eliza ran to her mother and
hugged her.

   "Can Mike come over sometimes mom, please?"

   "Sure honey, Mike can come over anytime he wants.  I would not dream of
breaking up your relationship with him.  He practically saved your life,
and mine actually."

   "Oh, what`s your number" Mercedes asked and I gave it to her.  She also
gave me hers.

   "Ok, I got to get going." I said turning to go before the tears and the
pain in my heart I know is there, overwhelmed me.

   I had reached the door when Eliza bounded into me, hugging me once more.


   "Come back and see me ok." She said.

   "I will." I managed to croak out as I fought desperately to contain
myself.

   Once securely onto the corridor I allowed myself to cry.  The ache in my
heart was too much to contain any longer.

   I made it back to the hotel and tried to busy myself with other things
until sleep grabbed me and I went to bed.

   In the morning the phone woke me up, it was Eliza.  Her mom wanted to
invite me to lunch with them.  Which I accepted.

   The rest of the morning moved quickly as I buried myself in television.
Not letting myself think.  I did check my email and I received an offer
from a hospital a few miles away in the next major city.

   I picked up Eliza and her mom and we went to lunch.  Eliza was holding
my hand as we walked to the restaurant.

   "Eliza and I were talking all night and this morning.  I love the
clothes you bought her." Mercedes said.  We were at the table talking over
burgers and fries.

   Suddenly, she put her hands on mine.  "Mike.  I promise I`ll never ever
forget what you did for us.  Disrupting your life, the money.  I don`t know
how I could ever repay you."

   "Well it was either that or have Sandra bash my head in." I said
smiling.

   "Oh yes.  I have a confession to make." Mercedes said, the excitement
leaving her voice.

   "After I told Sandra that I needed to get out, we discussed how to get
out with Eliza.  But it was too risky.  After some time we came up with
this plan."

   Sandra and Mercedes had planned the entire thing.  After seeing me and
Eliza, they decided that I was the best hope of getting her out.  So they
nurtured the relationship from afar, making sure that Eliza was comfortable
with me.  Mercedes had never planned to stay with Jennifer; that was just a
security check point.  If anyone else had gotten the address, Jennifer
would have said that Mercedes moved out with no forwarding address.  Only
the person carrying Eliza would know the truth.

   "I`m not sure of everything Sandra had to do, as she left that part up
to herself, since we did not know what would happen after I was gone."
Mercedes continued.

   Everything then clicked into place for me.  They were never supposed to
wait so long.  But when Sandra found out about the plans for Eliza she
decided that it was time to put the plan into play.

   A little dose here and there and Mrs Gallagher needed to see the doctor.
Once I was in, it was only a matter of time before Sandra would convince me
to get Eliza out.  Providing me with the address for the rendezvous with
Jennifer.  Sandra would tell Mr.  Sands that I had acted independent of
her. Which is why she had told me to never return.

   "Wow." Was all I could say.

   "I`m just sorry that it cost you so much.  We honestly had not estimated
how much it would cost you.  Your job; your other commitments -- We figured
you`d get Eliza to me and you`d go back to work."

   "Yeah, the issue with Mr.  Sands and the council kind a screwed up that
part." I said.

   "Thank God Sandra go to you in time."

   "So mom, you and aunty Sandra set this whole thing up?" Eliza finally
caught on.

   "Yes honey.  To get you out.  I never planned on leaving you there."

   "Things are so different out here.  Mike has been helping me."

   "Yes it is honey and we have all our lives to explore it together"
Mercedes said kissing her daughter on the forehead.

   "I have to go run a few errands do you all want to hang out?  And I`ll
call you when I get back" Mercedes said.

   "Ok mom" Eliza said.

   "Do you want to go to the zoo?" I asked.

   "Yes!" Eliza cried.

   "Great.  Have fun with Michael and I`ll see you later.  Come give me a
hug." Mercedes said standing up.

   After Mercedes left I took Eliza to the zoo.  She was amazed at all the
animals that she had only read about at school.  Mercedes called later that
evening and so I met her at her place.

   "Did you have a good time?"

   "Yes mom, it was great!  I never saw so many different animals before."
Eliza gushed.

   "Yup, one of the reasons I had to get you out of that place."

   "Ok, I`ll see you all later then." I said.

   "Bye uncle Mike" Eliza said, giving me a big hug.

   I made up my mind to go to the new hospital the following day and I sent
them my acceptance.  Eliza had her mom now, it was time for me to move on.

   I spoke to them on the phone that night and let them know that I had
decided to leave the next day.  Mercedes had to go back to work and so it
was arranged that I would pack up from the hotel and stay over at Mercedes
until she got home and then I would leave to go back to my place.

   A JOURNEYS END

   I arrived just after 7 in the morning right before Mercedes had to leave
for work.  Eliza was still asleep so after Mercedes left I packed my
suitcases in a corner and went to the table to do some preparatory work.  I
would be starting the new job in 3 days.

   Eliza came out after 9 and greeted me with a big hug and a kiss.  I
prepared breakfast for her and then we went to the nearby amusement park.

   We arrived back just after 3 and Eliza went to her room, while I went
back to work for a short while before turning on the TV.  I had made some
popcorn and was idly watching as I ate.  Eliza came out a few minutes later
and after moving my hands, sat herself in my lap.  She then placed my arms
around her body, holding onto them on her stomach.

   In less than 20 minutes however she started moving my hands down her
body, and moving her legs to the outside of mine.  She was wearing a pair
of shorts and soon my fingers were feeling the curvature of her sex.  She
stopped moving her hands then and made a thrusting movement with her hips,
her little ass caressing my penis which started it growing.

   I cupped her vagina and started to turn circles with my fingers as Eliza
arched her back pushing her little ass against my erection harder.  After a
few seconds I dipped my fingers under the waistband of the shorts and under
the waistband of her tight panty.  My fingers briefly touched the swollen
mons before settling in the moist canyon of her sex, the base of my fingers
resting on her aroused clitoris.

   Her vagina was very wet and as I began to swirl the lips and caress her
clit, I could clearly hear the wetness as the lips of the little girl`s sex
rubbed together.  I continued to masturbate her for about 2 more minutes,
slowly but firmly caressing her vagina lips and clitoris in a circular
motion.  Eliza had been squirming on my lap, the buns of her ass tightening
and relaxing as the feelings coursed through her body.

   I was so horny for this girl, if she did not stop soon I am sure I would
cum in my pants.  My desire was becoming urgent.  I wanted to have sex with
this preteen girl so much.  I wanted to have my penis inside her vagina,
thrusting it in and out of her hard and she would be laying under me,
holding me as I would be slamming into her again and again.  Her ass felt
so good, I was having a hard time just keeping my concentration. 
Thankfully Eliza probably sensed my need and got up, held my hand and
pulled me to go with her.

   "Just a sec" I said going into my bag for some condoms and lubricant I
had bought just in case the opportunity arose.

   I quickly returned and Eliza took hold of my hand and led me to her
bedroom.

   Stopping in front of me she tugged at my shirt which I helped her take
off.  Then she grabbed the waistband of my shorts and yanked them down,
freeing my erection.  As she stood up I reached for her and she assisted in
getting her shirt off.  Her little plum sized breast were beautiful.  She
quickly shed her shorts and panty then jumped back onto her bed.  Lying
down and waiting for me.  My cock was solid as steel and soaked in precum.

   I crawled to her and Eliza spread her legs in anticipation of what I was
going to do to her.

   Resting on my elbows I started to lick her and suck her sweet young
vagina.  Feasting on its flavor.  I squeezed the right lips then the left
racking my teeth gently across her clitoris.  This bringing a sharp intake
of breath from Eliza followed by a moan.  I then pressed my thumbs next to
her opening and began to lick her there.  Eliza placed her hands on my head
and pressed her pelvis up towards me.  Trying to keep my mouth in contact
with her sweet sex.  As I caressed her clitoris with my lips, I inserted a
finger into her vagina and began to gently saw it back and forth inside
her. Increasing the depth as I went in over and over.  Soon the entire
middle finger was in her and I started to finger fuck little Eliza, turning
my finger around so that my hand was palm up.  I reach in for her GSpot and
started stroking it.  Eliza arched hard and started humping my mouth
erratically as I pumped my finger in and out of her hole.  I stopped finger
fucking her after a minute or so and removed my finger to give her vagina a
bit of rest.

   Quickly I climbed over her and started to suck on her breast first one
then the other, using my free hand to caress the one I was not sucking. 
Eliza continued to squirm under me, pressing her sweet mons up to my leg,
hoping to stroke herself there.

   After a minute or two of mauling her young breasts, I kissed her on the
lips then and resumed stroking her vagina, curling two fingers tips into
her hole stretching her.  Eliza responded well, offering her vagina up to
me.

   Lying down before her again I sucked on her vagina once more, spreading
it open and pushing my tongue as deep inside as I could go.  Then removing
my face I inserted two fingers slowing into her vagina, thrusting up into
her and sliding across her gspot.  I pumped her hole several times.

   I watched Eliza, and could see the concentration on her face as she felt
her vagina being stretched by my fingers.  She pressed her sex up to me
nevertheless, offering it up to be used for both her pleasure and mine.  I
bent and started to massage her clitoris once more with my lips even as my
fingers slowly dove deeper into her tight recesses.  Stretching the elastic
skin so that it could accept my penis soon.  Thankfully she was so wet that
although her vagina was tight around my fingers, I was able to move inside
her freely.

   Reaching a satisfactory depth, I started to finger fuck her with the two
fingers, her hole stretched tight around them.  He minor lips disappearing
as her clitoris flattened up on top and curled as if it was being pulled
into the hole as well.

   I was still fingering her when she came hard.  Eliza pushed her pelvis
up straining her body and digging her fingers into the bed sheet.  I kept
on pumping her and tried hard not to lose contact with her clitoris, this
was in vain however as she continued to thrust and weave from the orgasm
that now had control of her body.

   As she was stopping I pulled my fingers out just stroked her pubis until
she finally started to close her legs, signaling that I needed to stop.

   I laid down next to her and she rolled over to me.

   "Did you enjoy that?" I asked.

   "ah hm" came her affirmative reply.

   "Good".

   "Does it always feel this good?" Eliza asked.

   "Well it depends on a lot of things.  Whether you love the person or
not, whether you like having them suck you -- Everyone`s body is different.
Some girls like to have the man put his finger or penis in their bottom."

   "eeew!!" That`s gross.  Eliza screamed.  "I won`t let anyone put
anything in my butt." She continued.

   "no, and it hurts quite a bit at first" I said.  "You have to be really
careful and use something like oil of grease to lubricate your bottom,
because it does not lubricate like a vagina does."

   "So why do people do it then, if it hurts and you have to get grease?"
she asked.

   "I don`t know really." I said thoughtfully.

   We were silent for a few minutes then I turned on my side to face her. I
placed my hands on her hips and stroked her thigh.

   "Your mom mentioned what school she was going to get you into?  Now that
she is going back to work she will need to have some place safe for you to
be."

   "Uh huh, we talked about it.  I think she said she is going to take me
next week to the first one for an interview.  She already talked to them,
but they wanted to see me for themselves.  We are going to buy school
supplies tomorrow."

   "That great.  Looks like you mother was really preparing for this."

   "Yeah." Eliza said.

   "You`re so beautiful.  I can`t believe I`m here with you." I told her as
I stroked her long main of black hair and along her shoulders.  Eliza just
smiled.

   "I`m going to miss you so much." she said.

   "Me too" I said, reaching forward to flick her little left breast with
my finger.  Eliza just looked at me, so I pressed my fingertips against it
and started to massage it around.  Then I used my palm to press into it and
fondle it.  Eliza started breath harder.  I placed my hand on her arm and
gently pushed her onto her back.

   I raised onto my elbows and looked at her face.  Then I kissed her lips,
pushing my tongue into her mouth.

   "I want you to do me Mike." she whispered.

   "Ok" I said.  Leaving the bed, I picked up the condom I had brought
upstairs and some baby oil.

   "What`s that?" she asked.  Watching me about to put it on.

   "It`s a condom, so you would not get pregnant" I said as I pulled it
over my penis.

   I crawled back over to my skinny twelve year old girlfriend and she
spread her legs for me.  Knowing that I would soon be between them and my
penis inside her.  Her vagina was swollen with arousal, the hump of her
mons looking like a mountain against the flat plains of her hip bones, the
opening looked slick with her lubricant or my saliva.

   I kneeled between her legs and started to suck her vagina again. 
Getting it ready.  Inserting my two fingers with some oil, I pushed into
her a few times, freshening up the moisture I knew would still be there.  I
raised up and brought my hips closer to her thighs.  Causing her to spread
her legs at right angles to me and her vagina to open, showing me the way
inside.

   I held my penis in my right hand and leaning forward onto my left hand I
positioned the tip at her hole.  Sliding forward a little more I let my
penis go and rested onto my hands.  Then I started to press with my hips. I
briefly held my penis to maintain the correct angle then I rested on my
hands again.  I could feel my penis beginning to sink into her.  Her vagina
beginning to stretch around it.

   Glancing up I could see the discomfort on her little face.

   "It`s ok, this is just the opening that has to stretch, you`re feeling
the stretching.  That`s all.  You`re only twelve you know." I said
reassuring her that nothing was going wrong.

   The head was in.  I could feel the ring inside her vagina pulling my
foreskin back as I proceeded deeper.  I lay closer down on her, resting on
my elbows.  This allowed me to use additional force, which I applied.  Then
I reversed my hips and lifted myself up a bit.

   I reached down and two fingers of my left hand I spread her vagina lips
open, so they would not be pulled so tightly as I pressed my penis back
into the little girl`s waiting vagina.

   "It`s hurting" Eliza said.

   "Yes I know, but it`s not too bad is it" I asked looking at her.

   No, she nodded.

   I decided that I probably need more lubricant.  I slowly pulled out of
her vagina.  Eliza put her hand on it to feel the hole.  Reassuring herself
that she was not bleeding.

   I used some more of the oil then, putting the pouch away I lay back on
her.

   Bracing my penis against her small pink hole I pressed in with my hips
and felt it starting to slide inside.  I reversed my hips, pulling my penis
back a bit, and then I pushed back in.  Forcing my penis deeper into the
little girl.  Even though I was pushing hard into Eliza, my penis made slow
progress, because her vagina was so small and tight around my cock.  Time
passed as her vagina stretched for me.  Each time I pushing in a centimeter
or so, then I would reverse and push again into the small child under me.
It was perhaps more than two minutes later when my penis reached the end of
her vagina channel and my pelvis rested on hers.

   "It`s in" I said as I felt the heat of her vagina along the length of my
cock.

   Eliza had her face squeezed up due to the discomfort my stretching of
her little cunny was causing.  I waited a few seconds and just played with
her breast, barely moving my penis ever so often.

   Eliza pushed up her vagina to me after a short while, so I lifted up to
look at her face.  She looked up at me and smiled so I reversed a bit and
pushed in again.  I did not notice a great deal of discomfort register on
her face so I took it to mean that she as ready for me to fuck her vagina
with my cock.  On the next thrust I stopped to play with her breast and
kiss the top of her forehead.  I then reached down to where we were joined
and stroked her clitoris.  I was leaning on my left elbow and stroking her,
with my penis lodged inside her vagina for about a minute.  Then rotating
back onto Eliza fully I started to slowly fuck her little pussy.

   Eliza moved her hand to my sides, holding me on top of her young body.

   Slowly at first.  I pushed in and held, then revered and push in and
held a few times.  Then I started the fuck her pussy.  In and out my penis
slowly slid into her stretched hole, each time I pressed into her for an
extra second.  She was tight and hot, but her vagina was of age, so it was
lubricating and stretching both in width and depth, allowing me to drive
deep inside her.  Soon our bellies were smacking each other and the sound
of fucking was in the air.  At last I was inside twelve year old Eliza,
fucking her not quite baby vagina.  The little dark haired skinny Mexican.

   Her pussy was soo good, and my arousal so much I was starting to lose
control.  Forgetting that she was a child I placed my hands on the top of
her head and started to hammer her vagina deep.  Eliza was arching her
body, her head tipping back as if trying to look at the wall above her.  I
drove and I drove into the little girl, her vagina stretched around my
pistoning meat was tight on me, but allowing me to fuck into her at a
faster pace.  The force of my driving into her was bouncing her head into
my hand.  My sweat started to drip onto the bed above her as my chest and
stomach became drenched with my effort to fuck this little twelve year old
child spread before me.

   After 2 or so minutes going in and out of her tender sweet hole, I
paused with my penis fully inside and started to rotate my hips, squashing
her clitoris and manipulating it around with my pelvis.  I could feel it at
the base of my cock and I pressed hard on it.  This I did for nearly a
minute until I began to tire.

   "hmmmm" Eliza groaned at the new stimulation to her pussy.  Her body
trying to arch to the left and right; but held down by my larger adult body
on her.  Raising up on Eliza, I held her clit between two fingers and
gently squeezed it.  I felt her pussy tighten in reflex.

   Leaning over onto my left elbow, I kept her little clit between my
fingers and massaged it as I started thrusting in her again.  Eliza`s eyes
were closed as the feelings emanating from her stretched vagina flowed
freely through her body, all over her stomach and into her brain.  Telling
her she was having glorious sex.  Her twelve year old vagina in full
agreement telling her that the adult penis moving inside of it was just
what it was made for.

   I fucked her like this as her orgasm came.  Eliza moaned and grabbed
hold of the bed tightly, her head angling backwards as she pressed her
vagina up into my very hard 6 inch pistoning log.  I felt my orgasm rising
as well so I froze all movement while Eliza trembled and squeezed my cock
hard as her orgasm rolled.

   When Eliza came down from her orgasm I released her clitoris, laid
firmly on her and thrust into her vagina hard and fast 5 or 6 more times.
The semen erupted out of my testicles and burned its way through my flexing
cock, firing into the condom.  Filling it with my juice.

   Drained, I rested on my elbows as my penis began to shrink.  I rolled to
one side, allow it to pop from the tight freshly fucked vagina.  I rolled
onto my back and panted for breath.  Eliza beside me also sweating
profusely and breathing hard.

   I reached my hand over and held onto her fingers squeezing them.  After
a few more seconds and I had gotten my breathing under control I raised up
on my right elbow to look at Eliza.  She had not even closed her legs. 
They were still slightly spread, her body glistening with perspiration.

   Looking at her, all sweaty from sex, I could not help noticing how
beautiful she was.  Her hair now soaked and black, stuck to her forehead
and around her temples.  Her small breast rising and falling with her
breathing.

   "I love you." I said finally.

   Eliza looked over at me and smiled a broad happy smile, squeezing my
hand.  I fell back and rested another few moments replaying the sex I just
had with the child in my head.

   Rising up again.  "Eliza; that was soo fantastic.  You made me feel so
good.  You are an awesome girl." I praised her.

   "How do you feel?"

   "Sore" she said as she lifted her parted knees and gently touched her
still swollen and damp mons.

   "Your vagina is strong.  It was made to handle sex." I said.

   "It doesn`t hurt a lot, like if I was cut.  Just feels like.."

   "Really stretched." I finished for her.

   "Yeah." She said nodding.

   "You`re going to be ok.  It just feels weird the first time.  I`m going
to take this off" I said, getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom.

   "I`m going to take a shower" I called back to her, "you gave me a real
workout."

   I went into the shower and started to bathe.  I started to wash off when
the door opened and Eliza stepped in still naked.  I took her hands and
brining one to my lips I kissed it, watching her eyes intently.

   "Let me bathe you" I said getting the soap and wash cloth.

   I bathed Eliza, lathering her with the wash cloth and then using my bare
hands to roam all over her young body.  Cleaning, massaging, caressing, and
worshipping it.  I really loved this child.  I resisted the urge to caress
her buns and vagina though and I washed them just like any other part so as
to avoid giving the girl another fucking too soon.

   "You`re so beautiful Eliza.  Soo very beautiful" I commented as I
finished, kissing her again.  I could not seem to stop kissing the little
girl`s face.

   "Thank you." She said smiling as she turned to go out of the bath,

   I bathed myself next and then got out of the shower.  In the bedroom,
Eliza was standing at the mirror.  Still naked, looking at herself.  I came
up behind her and she saw me in the reflection and smiled.

   "You ok?" I asked as I stood behind her and cupped her lovely little ass
cheeks.

   "Yeah, but my vagina still feels weird" She said, as she lightly touched
herself.  "You have to kiss it for me." She said turning around and
smiling.

   I smiled at her and stooping down, I brought my lips to her smooth baby
pussy and started to lick it gently.

   Eliza placed her hands on my head and spread her legs a bit.  After a
few licks I was not getting the essence of her so I got her to move over to
the bed and helped her to place her left foot on the bed.  This caused her
vagina to open more.

   I sat on my heels and then leaned forward.  Holding her ass in one hand
I started to eat her young just fucked vagina.  I placed my thumb at the
side of her major lips and pressed it so that her inner lips would show,
revealing her inner sweetness.  Then I moved in with my tongue searching
for the entrance.  Finding it, I hardened my tongue and pressed inside. 
Then I started to tongue fuck her.  I stabbed my tongue into her hole over
and over in rapid succession like a machine gun.  Then I pierced her small
clitoris in my lips caressing it up and down, then I licked her from the
bottom of her crotch to the hooded clit.

   Eliza`s stomach was fluttering as her body struggled to contain the
orgasm that was building.  Several times her legs started to buckle before
straightening out.  Her hips pressing in towards me as her arousal built.

   Moving back my head, I used my pointing finger and started to flick her
clitoris back and forth.

   "Aahhhh" Eliza cried out as the surge of pleasure spiked through her
body.  But I did not stop.  Left, right, left, right, left, right I
continued rapidly knocking her clit from side to side.

   Eliza grabbed my head as her orgasm started.  I pressed my pointer and
middle finger on her clit hard and vibrated it quickly left to right.  With
a sharp intake of breath I heard Eliza come.  Her vagina becoming extra wet
as her lubricant flowed.

   I was holding onto her by her ass cheeks and I could feel them
rhythmically flexing and relaxing as the girl climaxed.  He body shaking
back and forth.  As she levelled off I gave her a last kiss on her
beautiful pussy and stood up.

   "Wow" Eliza said as she hugged me.

   We kissed deeply again, with my hands around her.  Holding the twelve
year old girl close to me as my tongue searched out her mouth and my right
hand held her sweet young buttocks.  "Ok.  Get dressed before your mom
comes back and finds us like this" I said as we parted and I turned to go.

   We played some board games I had brought with me in between my making
dinner, until her mother got home around 7 that evening.

   "Hi there" she said as she came into the room"

   "Mom" Eliza called out and ran to her mother; giving her a big hug.

   "Hi honey.  How was your day?"

   "It was great" Elia replied, looking at me and smiling broadly.

   "Oh kkkk --" Mercedes said looking from one to the other.

   I betrayed nothing however and kept my face relaxed.

   "I started dinner.  I hope you like baked potatoes" I said, attempting
to change the subject.

   "Wow, you shouldn`t have.  I was going to make something when I got
home." Mercedes said going into the kitchen.

   "I just felt like cooking" I said following her.

   "Smells nice" she said.

   "They are still in the oven"

   "Do you have some meat?  I can do some chicken for us." Mercedes
offered.

   "That would be nice"

   "Great, I`ll get out of these clothes and be right back"

   Mercedes hurried out of the kitchen.

   Eliza was looking at me from across the room in a strange way so I
walked over to her.

   "You like my mom?" she asked me as I got close.

   "A little, but I love you" I said, sitting next to her and wrapping my
arms around her.

   She did not respond so I froze.

   "Eliza, I love you.  Very much.  I just met your mom again but we knew
each other back when you were both on the compound, so we`re really just
friends." I said as I pulled her to sit across my lap.

   I kissed her left cheeks sucking on it and licking it with my tongue. 
As my right hand caress her lovely bum when she leaned over on my chest.

   "Did you hear from the hospital?" Mercedes called down as Eliza turned
my face to kiss me on the lips.

   "I spoke to them earlier so I`ve already gotten my assignments" I
responded, my eyes searching Eliza`s; questioning --

   "How far do you have to drive?" Mercedes asked coming out of her room.

   "I returned the car and I`m going to get a flight tonight" I said.

   "Oh.  Airports, I`ve never been on a plane" Mercedes said going into the
kitchen and opening the fridge to get the chicken.

   Dinner was superb.  We had the baked potatoes with fried chicken, salad
and vegetables.  All too soon however, it was time for me to go.

   A car blew the horn outside.  On hearing it Eliza rushed from the table
and bounded into my arms, bursting into tears as she gave me the tightest
hug I had ever felt.

   "Please don`t go Mike; please don`t go.  You can stay here with me and
my mom.  Mike; Please stay" she wailed.

   I also burst into tears and was inconsolable.  Mercedes watched us from
the table and also began to cry.

   The sound of the taxi man brought us back to the matter at hand and I
started to push Eliza`s hands away.  I could see Mercedes coming to my aid.

   "I have to go Eliza.  But I`ll try to come back and see you."

   "You better." Mercedes said embracing her daughter and gently pulling
back.  "Or we may have to hunt you down" she said whipping her tears also.

   "I`ll come back Eliza"

   "You promise?" Eliza said between tears.

   "Yes.  You will see me again.  This is not the last time." I said,
bending so that we were eye level.

   "Come Eliza, Mike has to catch a plane." Mercedes said gently stroking
her daughter`s hair as they watched me get my bags and head out to the
waiting taxi.
