Oriental Escape

Eric winced once more as he'd been struck hard; the blow pounded into the
man's body and taken the last valuable breath of air out of him. He dropped
down to his knees and tried desperately to take in as much new air as he could
to try and recover. He coughed and spluttered, but it was not due, initially,
to the hard blow that had put him on his knee, but he gasped due to the fowl
stench of cigar smoke that was all around him.

The smell was overpowering and the disgusting odour of cigar smoke grabbed at
the back of his throat as he took in the air his lungs badly needed. But it
was that smoke that tortured him, he need the air but the taste of this made
he want to reach and throw up. There was a giggle as the man must have looked
quite amusing there on his knees, trying to breath and also gagging at the
same time. The giggled belong to Jia, Eric's Asian bride and now tormentor of
him (Reader may wish to read the previous stories Oriental Surprise & Oriental
Servitude).

The hard working investment consultant who had been near to retirement, even
though he was only in his early 40's, and had found himself an Asian bride
through the internet. He had lost most of the last 20 years due to how his
work had taken over his life, but he'd made the money, got the nice house, put
enough away and was now ready to take the rest of his life, retirement and
enjoy it. The only thing that had been missing in all this was someone to
share it all with. But due to his job and his many, many contacts and visits
to the Fare East, he had gained a liking for the lovely, caring, loyal,
devoted kind of oriental woman. And with some good luck he had found Jia, who
had seemed to be all of these, at first!

But now the woman reached down and grabbed onto Eric hair ARRRRHHHH! She
pulled harshly backwards forcing the man's head backwards but also pulling him
up straight, she didn't like slouching, even when her men were on their knees!
She looked down at him, annoyed with his performance so far, her cigar went to
her red lips as she took a deep lungful of the luxurious smoke. Again she
looked down at him and the man could clearly see the disappointment on her
face. There was a long pause and the silence only went to make Eric more tense
and fearful, then Jia blow the thick, reeking smoke towards Eric's face,
making the man cough. As he coughed the woman flicked her cigar allowing the
ash to fall over his face and towards his open mouth 'Oh God!' It was the most
disgusting taste to him, he hated the smell of any kind of tabaco, and to
taste it was the ultimate filth to him.

But he should have thought about that before he had brought back his latest
bonus statement, which was not as good as what Jia was expecting. His new
bride had taken over his world completely; she'd even managed to get him to
sign over the house and bank account to her. His way of showing the 'timid'
woman who had been in a previous bad marriage that now she was safe and would
be secure. Little had Eric know that as soon as everything was in her name she
would change! Jia had told Eric that he would not be retiring as she need to
assist her family back home and wanted to set up her own 'Asian Bride'
service.

So Eric would not be retiring, he would provide her with everything she needed
and he would introduce all his rich work colleagues to a 'selection' of Asian
Brides that Jia had arranged. Eric was doing the best he could, he had already
set up one of his rivals Kurt, who was now on the verge of marrying one of
these selected Asian woman, who just happened to be Jia's younger Sister, Xia!
But all was not going that well, as Eric's plans for retirement had already
been put in motion even before he had met Jia, some of his more profitable
client's had already started to use other investment managers. And as Eric's
retirement had now been 'cancelled' he had to work very hard at getting those
people back on his books, so although this bonus was good, it wasn't as good
as what Jia had hopped! WHACK!

The woman still held onto Eric's head and pulling it back hard, then drove her
knee sharply into the man's back, he'd coughed as she blow smoke down into his
face. He winced and spluttered as she dropped ash into his mouth 'that wasn't
very respectful to his wife!' CRACK! She drove her knee into his back again,
the man called out in pain, but no one would answer his calls. Eric knew this
was going to be one of 'those session' when he'd got home, as Jia had demanded
his bonus letter, read it and walked away without saying a word. Then a short
while later she had come down stairs dressed in her favourite leather outfit
ready to show her husband just how disappointed she was.

Jia was dressed in a set of high heeled black leather boots, then a pair of
tight leather trousers and a leather waistcoat, again tight fitting; both were
black with a blood red strip down each side. She liked the colour, saying it
matched her personality! The outfit showed off the petite oriental woman's
toned and firm physique, and along with her exquisite looks and those gorgeous
deep gloss red lips, she looked quite the most delightful and sexiest thing
that Eric had ever seen. The only problem was that dressed like that this
woman only had two things on her mind, one was to beat her husband, which she
enjoyed so much, and the other thing was to have the young lad that lived next
door. But as he was doing some kind of exams today, this meant that being
dressed this way could only mean pain and misery for Eric SMACK!

The man had hoped that Jia wouldn't be that disappointed THUD! Her boot kicked
out into his gut, he had hoped she would understand he was working hard to get
all his clients back SMASH! She dragged him up off the floor than throw him
over her shoulder, slamming him back to the ground, he had hoped she would be
happy with the bonus, after all it was still a lot of money CRACK! Her foot
thought otherwise, but most of all he had hoped she would be merciful WHACK!
He'd been dragged hallway up only for her to throw her fist into his jaw and
sent Eric soaring across the floor once more.

The mature oriental woman walked over to her downed husband and again used her
boots on him, like all good women Jia liked her boots and shoes and believed
they should be used properly, to trample and pound any man she liked. The
boots once more slammed into the fallen man, before she went about hauling him
upwards, she looked in his eyes and could see the fear there. He'd naively
thought and hoped that the bonus was good enough and maybe he'd be allowed a
little extra in the 'pocket money' she allowed him, as she now controlled all
the money WALLOP! Her fist drove hard into his body as he came upwards, 'No'
Eric was sure that he would have no increase in money, only in pain, and he
now defiantly knew she wasn't at all happy with the bonus SMACK!

The annoyed Asian woman had pulled her underperforming husband back up onto
his feet SMACK! Her clenched fist slammed across his face, the backhand
providing a sharp pain that drove into the man's already throbbing brain. Eric
wobble as his wife once more took a puff on that cigar of hers DING! DONG!
'Saved by the doorbell!' WHACK! 'well not quite', the doorbell had gone but
that was no reason for Jia to stop what she does best, she'd stepped forwards
and throw her knee up into the man's gut. Again the wind was driven out of
Eric as he gasped and dropped down to his knees, but at least this gave him a
small rest bite as the woman went to find out who had 'disturbed' her
chastisement session with her husband!

As Jia went to the door, Eric took in clean air as there was now no one
smoking those sickening cigars around him. There was the mumbling sound of
voices, that seemed to just wash over the man as he tried to deal with the
pain he was in. But wafting in was a new 'smell' that grabbed the man 'Oh No!'
If it wasn't the foul cigars that his wife smoked it was those vulgar cheroots
that her Sister smoked, so that meant that Xia, Jia's Sister was now here.

Eric turned his head to look even though he knew, could feel, even smell she
was there. Jia and Xia stood at the entrance to the living room, and inside
Eric was on all fours gasping for breath as the women talked. Everything for
next week's wedding was all done, Kurt had received a very good bonus and he
had mentioned that after the wedding he would arrange everything so that Xia
would be secure in her new life! That meant that just like Eric had, Kurt was
going to sign everything over to Xia and then she would turn into another
Asian dominatrix just as Jia had with Eric.

Eric knew there was still time, so should he warn Kurt about what Xia was
really like? 'No, Kurt was a right backstabber and had done Eric over in the
past, so his 'friend' got everything he deserved.' "So Eric didn't get the
bonus that you expected!" The current conversation suddenly grabbed Eric
attention 'Shit!' He could see his Sister in law looking into the room and
disappointedly at him. She was really dissatisfied in him and as she now
stepped into the living room and closer to him, she undone the belt to her
coat as she made her way towards him, still that look of total displeasure on
her attractive face.

Eric watched, and a cold shiver ran down his spine, before Xia had undone the
belt the man knew what was coming. The woman, his Sister in law, was wearing a
light blue coloured lip gloss and that meant only one thing to the man, and as
the coat opened up, came off and was dropped down to the floor revealing the
younger Sister's attire, Eric knew his gut instinct was proven right 'Oh
Crap!'. She, like Jia, enjoyed wearing leather, and today Xia was really
enjoying the way she was dressed, in leather boots, tight leather trousers and
finished off with a leather waistcoat, with no blouse underneath it. It was in
fact the same as her Sisters outfit, the only difference was the colour, Xia
preferred the dark blue with a light blue strip down the side, she would say
it matched her eyes and her cold heart!

But now those eye's where fixed on her inadequate Brother in law and she was
going to show him exactly what she thought about his below par performance in
not getting a large enough bonus for her Sister WHACK! Eric was sent rolling
across the floor, he was now going to be put through a session with Xia and
he'd had experience of these. Jia his wife was fiery and harsh with him, she
would pound the man and use her strength knowing she was strong and could hurt
him, hence the red she liked. But Xia was different; she was a cold and
calculating woman, hence the blue, she also liked to hurt the man but she was
more devious with her blows. Three or four of Jia' hard hits would fly into
Eric's body, one after the other, hurting him, pounding him and dropping him,
Xia' took her time, one strike, in an already weakened place could have the
same effect. She liked to make him wait in anticipation of where the blow
would land, knowing it would land and would hurt; she enjoyed the cruelty of
it, and how it screwed with the male mind.

The result was always the same, Eric would get hit, Eric would get hurt, Eric
would fall, Eric would be in great pain, the only difference between Jia and
Xia was the way it happened SMACK! The thought of soft leather wrapped around
firm female flesh can be quite desirable and stimulating, and to feel it can
be intense and exciting, especially if the female is an Asian beauty like Jia
or Xia. But when you add a natural female dominance into the mix you end up
with an altogether different dilemma. Eric was a prisoner to his red and
feisty wife Jia and a slave to his blue and coldl Sister in law Xia, and if
truth be told Eric also now found himself in a difficult predicament SMACK!
Even as Xia throw her knee into his gut and drove the air out of the man, he
couldn't ignore the fact that he quite liked Xia, in fact he liked her a lot!

But the man still loved his wife, even with all that she had done to him and
how she treated him, to get the odd tender kiss off of her whenever he did
please her was his desire. But Xia had also something about her, yes she
abused, degraded and beat him, but there was more than just a small part of
him that wanted her to do this to him. Things where getting really complicated
for Eric, his oriental servitude was getting more and more complicated day by
day, what was he to do? THUD! Another careful blow to get the man rolling
around in pain and another blow that only went to make the man wonder what
life married to Xia would be like?

It wasn't long before Eric could take no more and the firm hold of Xia's
leather covered leg wrapped around him neck was taking effect, she flexed her
leg tightly and made the man pass out into a sea of darkness. It was much
later when Eric came too after his beating for his dismal display at work and
his bonus payment. If he was to get any kind of 'bonus' from Jia he would have
to do a lot better at 'providing' for her. He slowly hauled himself up off the
floor and was meet by the sound of giggling and laughter from upstairs.
Although Eric didn't want to admit to himself he knew that Jia was probably up
there with the lad from next door, the one she always referred to as her
'puppy', as he was always eager and excitable whenever he saw her!

There was no sign of Xia, so maybe she had gone to see Kurt to finalise the
wedding plans. Then something caught Eric's eye, on the far table was the file
that he'd brought home from work, the one he had intended to mention to Jia
about, but she had wanted to know about his bonus first! And after that
conversation he didn't stand a chance of saying anything to her. Then another
thought that he had tried to suppress crept back into his head ... ... Maybe,
just maybe?

Two weeks later and Eric was on a plane flying out for a business trip to the
Far East, Kuala Lumpur to be precise, back to the city he knew and somewhere
he could relax in and feel safe. With Eric's 'bonus' or lack of a substantive
bonus taking up much of Jia's attention, when she wasn't beating Eric or
snuggling with the lad next door. Eric had made an 'observation' , in the
safest way he could, that as his retirement had been stopped some of his
better clients where now already using other investors. He even showed her an
e-mail from one of his old client inviting him back to the Far East to
finalise some deals for him as he trusted Eric so much. If he could get back
out there and see some old contacts, show everyone out there he was still the
one to do their business with then the next bonus would be so large she
wouldn't know what to do with it!

Jia had thought about it, she had taken some time but finally the wife has
allowed her husband to go on the trip, but she warned him she controlled
everything in his life now and when he got to Singapore he had two weeks to
sort it all out then he had to be back. So when the plane touched down in
Kuala Lumpur, Eric felt relived, she though he was Singapore but in reality he
was a couple of hundred miles north of there, he was safe! Over the years of
travelling to the Far East Eric had made a few provisions, he had a small
apartment in the city and a bank account already set up, due to all the
traveling that he did out here. These two 'minor' points where the only things
that he'd never mentioned to Jia, for some reason they didn't seem important,
but now they were priceless!

As soon as Eric stepped outside of the airport he went to 'work', he checked
his bank account, it was still there and there was even a bit more there than
he realised, a few added security measures, just in case, then it was over to
his friend who had sent the e-mail. It was straight down to business as he
secured a good deal and then late into the evening he made it to his
apartment. The flat was small and compact but it was now home, he fell onto
the bed and into a deep sleep and for once his body did not ach after a
beating that Jia had given him that day, he was now at ease and slept very
soundly that night.

The next morning and Eric was up early, he showered and dressed and was out,
he stopped off at a popular place where all the business types went for
breakfast. He met up with a few old faces and was soon looking for a deal to
make, it was long and hard work but by the end of the day he had his second
client and second deal in place. Again he returned to his small apartment and
dropped off to sleep, content and most of all with a feeling of being safe and
secure, rather than in fear and hurt, it made for a strange but pleasant
change.

By the end of the week Eric had three clients and done a dozen deals and more
importantly he was making money, not a great deal of money, not like he use to
but all that he did earn was his! There was no company that the money went to
first before he got his monthly wage packet and there was no bank account with
Jia's name on it! At the end of the week he checked 'his' bank again and was
pleased, he went off to the bar he had found a few nights ago and where he
could have a long cool drink and look at the pretty women who were there.

Life was suddenly starting to get better, but even so he was missing Jia ...
... and Xia, the leather and the beatings he could do without, well sort of do
without! But he still missed Jia, he did love her and that was the problem,
but there was a bigger problem. Since he had been here, a week now he'd not
contacted his wife, he'd not spoken or e-mailed her and she thought he was
somewhere else as well. The longer he left it the more difficult it would be
to explain. Every time he went to call something stopped him, and the longer
he left it the more difficult it became.

He was halfway through his second week and the end of another day of talking
to and trying to find new clients, it had even been an enjoyable day. Eric
settled himself at the bar as the barman smiled and said "usual?" This gave
Eric a sense of belonging, he was known here, then someone he recognised
nodded at him "Hi" again a sense of belonging and it was a feeling that he
liked. He was working hard, but not too hard, he was getting money, not a
fortune but enough for him, he was even enjoying himself 'could it get any
better?' Just then Eric spied a woman at the far end of the bar, an older
oriental woman, was it that she reminded him of his wife or was it that this
was just the type of woman he was attracted too. Whatever it was he liked her,
and she caught him looking and smiled, well that really made his day.

It took a couple more days of working hard and going to the same bar in the
evenings for Eric to summon the courage to speak to the woman, plus it had
also been a good day as he now had added a fifth client to his list and with
the prospect of another if his meeting tomorrow went well, so Eric was feeling
very good tonight. The barman had recognised him again and he'd even had a
couple of, short but friendly conversations with some of the other 'regulars'
in the bar. So when his eyes met the woman's again Eric was feeling good and
lucky!

He walked up to where she was sat, on her own, he felt nervous and confident
all at the same time, a strange sensation as he'd never been that assured when
dealing with women, hence why he had gone down the Asian Bride route in the
first place. Then suddenly, as if he was looking at himself in an out of body
experience there he was talking to this woman, he was conversing with her and
she was listening, smiling and even laughing at his jokes and witticisms. 'Was
this the new Eric?' He hoped so.

She was attractive and there was something Eric instantly liked about her, she
was a little older than him, but that didn't matter. She looked good, very
good, had a slim, shapely body and had a lovely smile, her name was Cai and he
liked her. Eric didn't know if it was because she reminded him of Jia or what,
as he pushed all thoughts of his 'wife' out of his mind so he could
concentrate on this Asian beauty. The pair of them got on well, even to the
point when Eric asked if she wanted to go back to his for a 'nightcap' and she
said yes!

Back in his apartment and the couple got cosy on his settee, he looked into
her eyes and at her face, there was something about this woman that was
familiar and friendly about her, he didn't know what it was or why he was
drawn to her, but he was. But the woman stopped it there, she said that maybe
he should come around to her place the following evening; she would cook for
them and then maybe ... ... ! Eric didn't want to push his luck, strike out
and ruin things now so said he would love that.

The next day and Eric was on fire, his meeting went very well, client number
six for him and he had an evening with Cai to look forward to, which couldn't
come around quick enough. Eventually it did and Eric turned up at Cai's
apartment on time, wine and flowers ready for a very 'enjoyable' time. When he
arrived and Cai opened the door Eric was met by a pure vison, there was the
older oriental woman dressed in just a long white silk dressing gown, she
didn't have any make up on and her long dark hair was roughly tied up but she
looked stunning.

The woman apologised as she had been late back from work but was almost ready,
she showed Eric into the living room of her very nice apartment, it was much
bigger and grander than his place. She said she would just be a minute as she
finished getting ready, and gave him a gentle kiss before heading off towards
her bedroom. The man could not believe his luck, after the great day he had
had and now with this woman, in this apartment, life now was indeed better.

But still there was something nagging at the man, something he could not
shake, was it that he was feeling guilty about Jia even with the way she had
treated him? What was it? He tried to shake off the thought and think about
the present, his work, and Cia! The good looking new woman in his life, how
gorgeous she looked those lips on his, 'yes those lips!' He could see in his
mind those lips as they came to his, those lips with the odd, even strange
colour lip gloss she wore, with its green colour, he's not seen lips that
colour before. He had only seen lips that where either red ... ... or blue,
but not green ... ... !

Then something on the far side of the room caught his attention as well, there
was a large leather photo frame stood up on the sideboard. The picture inside
was of three people all together, Eric took a few steps closer and the image
inside started to become clearer. It was of three women, all who looked
similar. He took a couple more steps closer and the picture became even
clearer and suddenly a thought started to creep into his mind, one that sent a
light shiver down his back, BANG! The sound of a door closing behind him made
the man jump as another thought started to take hold, he turned towards the
bedroom where Cai went into, to get changed.

He turned to see that Cai was stood there and she had indeed changed, for now
the older oriental woman was stood there in her outfit for the evening and
there was a horrible familiarity to what she was wearing. A pair of leather
boots, tight leather trousers and a leather waistcoat, with no blouse
underneath and for Eric this was all too familiar!

His eye quickly flashed back to the photo frame and now he was close enough to
see one of the women in the picture was Cai and the other two were indeed Jia
and Xia! He looked back at the woman in leather, the dark green leather outfit
with the light green strip down the side 'Oh Sh ... ... ' Before he could even
finish his thought Cai had thrown herself into a forward cartwheel and with
one, two full flips and halfway through a third THUD! Her boot came down and
smashed into Eric.

He'd stood there in some kind of shock trying to take this all in, the photo
of the three Sisters! The fact that Cai was dressed in the same leather
outfit, just a different colour, but it explained the green shade of lip
gloss, even when she was hurtling towards him, he still stood there, stunned
that this was all happening. But as the, athletic, woman's boot had slammed
into him he sort of came out of his trance and realised he was in so much
trouble!

He was taken off his feet and down into a heap of hurting frightened male, the
woman's boot had indeed struck him hard and just right, Eric had fallen like a
stone and there was an unbearable pain across his upper body and shoulder
where the heel of the boot had struck. But, like her Sister's, Cai didn't
believe in letting the injured recover, the older of the three siblings
reached down and grabbed onto Eric's arm. With a show of female strength, that
the man was now use too, she hauled him upwards and straight into THUD! THUD!
THUD!

As he came shooting up, which itself was a painful enough experience as the
woman certainly wasn't going easy on him. Eric had come up and gone straight
into Cai's knee, the woman had timed her move to catch the man just right, she
pounded him and then followed it up sharply with some more high knee kicks to
his body. With the last strike she realised the hold on his arm, allowing the
force of her strike to drive the man backwards, her knee had hammered into him
and sent the man flying backwards, tumbling across the floor until he came to
a halt thanks to the large settee that was there.

Before he could even shake his head or think about what was happing to him two
firm hands came down and grabbed the man by his shirt. There was a ripping
sound as the strong hands yanked him up and straight into CRUNCH! OOOWWWWW!
Cai's knee now found a new spot to strike, his crouch! The woman's leather
coved knee slammed violently into his groin, hurting the man and bringing more
than just a tear to his eye! THUD! She struck again bringing even more pain
and misery to Eric.

As the man double over in pain at the woman's sadistic strike, he felt a
strong arm come around his head and neck, the next thing he felt was being
lifted off his feet and then flying through the air. Eric crashed down to the
floor tumbling and rolling over until he eventually stopped, but as he stopped
he went flying again as Cai dragged him up and tossed him across the room once
more. She was indeed the stronger of the Sisters, and showing off her
strength, which wasn't good news for Eric at all!

With Eric on the floor and stunned Cai went over to small coffee table opened
a decorative box and took out a cigarettes, she lit one and inhaled deeply on
it and as if knowing the man's dislike for these she blow the smoke in his
direction. Instinctively Eric coughed and spluttered as the smoke fell onto
him 'not this as well!' Then the older Asian woman smiled as she walked over
to the man and eagerly began to set about him WHACK! OOOUUUHHHH!

This tough older woman broke Eric down with each painful throw, kick and punch
she inflicted on him, she slammed her forearm across his face cutting his lip
and drawing blood. She drove her boots into his body, winding him and taking
him off his feet at the same time, she propelled the man across that room
backwards and forwards, until he thought he could actually fly! She gave him
no rest bite, why should she, she carried on with this 'enjoyable evening'
until there was a sharp blow to the side of his head, he didn't know if it was
her boot, fist, knee or elbow, just that he dropped to the floor and was out
cold.

It was much later when Eric came too, and he awoke to that familiar feeling of
an aching, hurting body. As his head cleared and his eyes focused he could see
that he was no longer in the plush apartment but in an office, not the best
looking kind of office but still an office. It had the normal desk chairs and
filing cabinets but that was it apart from some stuff on the desk and a
computer. Just as he was wondering why he was here and what had happened the
door opened and in walked Cai!

She closed the door behind her and turned towards the man on the floor, it was
then that Eric realised his mistake, it wasn't Cai this was Jia, his wife! She
walked over to her husband and looked down at him, the fear in his eye's was
all too clear to see, there was that moment of silence that Jia liked as she
knew a thousand different thoughts would be going through her 'man's' head
just before she started! "Did you think for one minute that I could, would or
should trust you to go away on your own?"

He didn't answer, he couldn't he was too scared to say anything THUD!
ARRRHHHH! She kicked him, even though she knew she wouldn't get a response it
still felt like the right thing to do. "Did you really think that I didn't
know about you bank account here and your little apartment?" 'Shit!' Just then
the door opened again and Jia was joined by her Sisters, Xia and Cai. The
three women stood there and it was then that Eric noticed that they were all
dressed in their own leather outfit! The Red, Blue and Green, all of them
looked stunning, deadly and desirable all at the same time.

"This may not look much but it is our Asian Bride office out here and I
believe you have a lot of work to catch up on getting suitable men arranged."
Eric realised that by now Xia must have got married and Kurt would probably be
in the same situation as he was, 'was he here, had Xia brought him along for
their honeymoon to here?' More thoughts quickly rushed around his head, if Jia
had known about the apartment and bank account, did she let him come here so
that Xia wedding went along without any interference from him? Why had Jia
never mentioned her Sisters and where they lived, had this been all planed out
long ago?

Jia went over to the desk and took a file from it "now you have five, no six
wealthy clients here in the city and at least 17 with a good financial
standing back in your company ... ." She looked up from the file at him "don't
worry I know you have not been in contact with them and I've told them that
you are current sick and in no fit state to work, at the moment." 'She'd
thought of everything!' Eric started to cough and then realised that there was
now a film of smoke around him, he looked around to see that each of the women
was indulging in their own favourite tobacco substance. Each of them blowing
that foul smoke in his direction, as if things couldn't get any worse he
thought!

Just then the door opened again and a line of women all entered, "Arh these
are my cousins and they all require a suitably wealth man to take care of
their needs." Eric's looked around at the women, they were a mixture of ages
but each was good looking, each had an attractive figure and each was wearing
a leather outfit!

Eric's head spun around as he soon realised that the dozen or so woman had now
formed a circle and he was still on the floor in the middle of it! He was
surrounded by a group of leather clad attractive oriental females; each woman
was seductive, sexy and sadistic looking. Now that was some fantasy scenario,
but in Eric's case it was also a nightmare scenario. "Now then, when you have
recovered you will start arranging 'meetings' for each of my family here ...
... Then I have a number of friends who need the same service" 'Oh God! Did
she say 'when you have recovered'?' "First we need to discuss your recent
behaviour and how disappointed we ALL are with you ... ... !"
