Called to McCabe's office first thing. Nearly shat myself. Didn't even have time to switch my PC on, barely managed to get my coat off.

"Molly Hadley, my office, now. Don't let an eggful of sand elude you." I still haven't figured that one out. :-(

"Good morning," I said as I smoothed my skirt over my hips and sat gingerly on the seat before him, all too aware of my nakedness beneath the skirt and my unfortunate exposure the last time I took this seat.

"George Cross phoned last night. From Clowes Manor." He watched me, his face bulging like a frog on the lookout for food.

"Oh yes? I went over there yesterday."

"I know, Molly. I know you did. I know, I know." He was deliberately provoking me. Clearly, he knew something, and was waiting to see how I'd react. I had to bluff my way through it. Difficult to do: it's hard to bullshit a bullshitter. Especially one as big as McCabe.

"I think it was a good session."

"George thought so too. Definitely thought so too. Phoned me personally to tell me. How impressed he was with your manner, your approach, your dedication." He was leering at me with an expression I couldn't fathom. As ever, McCabe was trying to tell me something, but the language barrier was too difficult to overcome.

"I know you listen to me, Molly," he continued. You've got big ears, sensitive great clodders. They hear things. Don't they Molly? Hear sensitive things, delicate things. Hear things which aren't said, I mean. And you know what I mean, don't you?" I nodded and he nodded back. "You're going to go all the way, Molly Hadley." He paused and a spasm crossed his face, his body instantly becoming completely immobile. I thought he was having a heart attack and bounced out of my seat, but instead a huge wheeze of laughter boomed from his chest. "Aha, aha indeed. Probably in more ways than one, if you get my drift. And I think you do drift with me, Molly, don't you? No lack of drift where you're coming from. Lack of everything else, but not drift."

"Mmm," I said.

"Okay, Molly. Just to say go with it. A donkey trap's a donkey trap, whichever way your worm is dangling. Keep it up, but keep it down." He snapped a folder shut and fixed his mouth in a concluding grimace. I rose uncertainly. "Close the door on the way out."

I tell you, he's getting worse.

What with him and bloody str8guy and buggering PMS it's a wonder I have any vestige of sanity left. I logged on my PC and fired up chatmate, checking into our room. He was there. After being stood up last night I was curiously relieved. Poor medusa, sleepwalking to her doom.

[molly] hello

[str8guy] Good morning, Molly. Been in with McCabe already, I hear.

[molly] yep. he told me a donkey trap's a donkey trap whichever way your worm dangles

[str8guy] What does that mean?

[molly] u tell me. because of it i have to keep it up, but keep it down.

[str8guy] Hmm, a tester that, even for someone of your ingenuity.

[str8guy] And ingenious you are.

[str8guy] I can see that, after yesterday's performance.

[molly] did u like it?

[str8guy] No I certainly did not.

[molly] ?

[str8guy] Put your cam on. At least let me see your polly while you lie to me.

[molly] im not lying. lying about what

[str8guy] cam on please

[str8guy] ...

[str8guy] Thank you.

[str8guy] A bit of shadow there. Did you shave yesterday or today?

[molly] no, pmt, it's a bit sensitive.

[molly] what am i lying about?

[str8guy] Yesterday

[molly] ?

[str8guy] Are you going to tell me you flashed the head?

[molly] i did, yes. long and lingering, and right up to the top. he saw everything, i assure you

[str8guy] You're lying Molly.

[molly] i'm not. what makes you say that

[str8guy] Part your polly lips while I'm talking to you. Let me see inside that cunt

[str8guy] Better, thank you

[str8guy] Play with yourself

[str8guy] Make yourself wet

[str8guy] Think about what you should have been doing yesterday, instead of lying to me

[molly] i didnt

[str8guy] Do you thjink I'm stupid Molly?

[molly] hardly. look at me. you made me do this

[str8guy] what, play with your little cunt on camera in the middle of your office, you mean?

[molly] yes

[str8guy] in your drawer is a little present from me.

[str8guy] Found it?

[molly] yes

[str8guy] Stick it inside you

[str8guy] Now

[str8guy] Deeper

[str8guy] Deeper

[str8guy] All the way.

[molly] thats asfar as i can get it

[str8guy] deeper. Try harder.

[molly] its fucking huge m8. im not wet enough yet

[str8guy] Comparable in size to the lie you told me

[molly] fucks sake i didnt

[str8guy] Credit me with intelligence.

[str8guy] let me explain

[str8guy] Fuck yourself with that thing. Hard

[str8guy] Hard

[str8guy] Harder, damn it

[str8guy] You set yourself up so nicely didn't you. Put the cam to your left, neatly focused on your legs, and you swung about very nicely, showing off polly in fine style.

[str8guy] Didn't you?

[molly] y

[str8guy] Unfortunately, the headmaster was on your RIGHT, wasn't he?

[str8guy] Didn't see a fucking thing, did he?

[str8guy] It was a show into space, wasn't it Molly? A show for my benefit only

[molly] but

[str8guy] Do you think I'm stupid?

[str8guy] keep fucking your cunt with that thing. Harder

[str8guy] I could tell from the angle of your shoulders, you stupid woman. While your legs were draped to the left, your shoulders swung to the right. You were talking to someone on the other side of the cam. He couldn't have seen anything.

[molly] but wait

[str8guy] But?

[molly] yes, at first, that's what happened. but you saw what happened at the end?

[str8guy] You don't imagine I stayed and watched that farrago, do you? Five minutes was enough to know you were deceiving me.

[molly] no no no!!

[molly] i did do it. later. he came round and sat the other side of me. he looked for an excuse to do it.

[molly] and pulled up a chair next to me

[molly] right at the end.

[molly] i pretended i was reviewing what we'd written, so he had time to ogle me freely.

[molly] i swear it

[molly] i honestly did

[molly] i think thats what i was hauled into mccabes office for this morning. i think he was trying to tell me that geroge cross told him what had happened.

[str8guy] And I'm expected to believe you?

[molly] its true. okay, at first i was trying to trick you. i admit it. but i did do it.

[molly] and you know what else?

[molly] ??

[str8guy] What else?

[molly] i kind of enjoyed it. knowing he was watching me. staring at me, staring at my pussy.

[molly] staring at my polly

[molly] it excited me

[str8guy] it did, did it?

[molly] yes

[str8guy] Okay, I still don't know whether I can believe you, but here's what we do.

[str8guy] You're going to take the laptop out to Appetites. Do the same thing again. But I want you to show me the person you're flashing too.

[str8guy] It'll be a risky manoeuvre. I don't care. I want you to do it.

[str8guy] Do it now

[molly] yes but first i have to do some stuff

[str8guy] now

[str8guy has quit]

Some days are just destined to be shit. Did you like my little lie at the end though? I think I'm learning. Tell him how much I enjoy what I'm doing and he thinks he's gaining control over me. Silly little fucker.

Okay, my cunt and I are going for a walk. Cya later, if I'm not in prison.
