Sherri: Heaven or Hell

By Kitt Foxx

Undertaking a very difficult situation, you were just trying to help, guide, and protect a beautiful, young girl from the dangers in the wild world far from home without becoming one of the dangers yourself; you were just trying to figure out how to do it without falling in love and becoming one of those you are trying to protect her from. The tender trap was set and ruining your life, and you were failing miserably at it. Finally, you had to admit to yourself, you have failed at your original plan and are now headed into a new and uncharted life with her.

After meeting her family, you are both so full of love. You marry, and you are happy for many years. Suddenly, things change; she changes into someone you dont know, but you still love her all the time. Confusing and heartbreaking things happen, yet you are too much in love with her to give in. You smile through your tears, continuing to work through the problems that would have likely destroyed most couples long ago. Finally, years later, the worst was over, and the sun shined again in both your hearts. She found herself for the first time in a long time. Then, much too soon, a short five years afterward, the darkness of death consumed her in an instant. Your future and hers are gone; it has left you standing all alone in this cold world in your pain and sorrow. Oh, my Sherri, I miss you so much.

CHAPTER. 1

"SHERRI— TACOS AND BEER—

I T’S ANOTHER DISGUSTINGLY beautiful day here in the Valley Of The Sun. The Phoenix Arizona Area, it’s lunch time my stomach tells me, but I’ve got another hour to go, this is Thursday March twenty third a beautiful spring day. I promised my secretary Beth last week that she could go to lunch with her hubby today on their tenth Anniversary, at noon, so I’m doing the one o’clock lunch today first time we’ve done this, in a long. time, but they both work and see too little of each other, She does a fantastic job for me here in the office, so why not? She deserves a break in her routine. I know she’s going to love it so I’m gearing up for at least once or twice a year from now on.

Hi. My name is Robert Elias Shelby, and I am a hard working guy, my job keeps me insanely busy at times bored to death at others, the job of General Parts and Service Manager, is an important and necessary position in an Auto Dealership, lots of Automobile buyers are won or lost by the service department, Their responsibilities are to keep you happy with your choice of vehicle You have purchased. I’m also known as just plain ole Bob at the dealership, on the outskirts, east of Phoenix Arizona.

Most of my crew of mechanics and parts guys go to lunch at twelve noon including my self, and two of my four service advisors down on the service entrance. We have our own snack bar and restaurant for the employees and visitors in the service dept. Today is a little different, I like to be available when my mechanics are working, making myself available in case a decision needs to be made about something that requires my approval and at times I need the zone managers approval on some things. Or if one of the guys needs a second opinion about an item that’s unclear, Time is money to a good mechanic. Any problem that comes up in the Parts or Service Dept. Is my job to resolve. My lunch hour normally coincides with theirs, its mainly to save the boys a long wait for me to return from lunch. And no matter when I go someone is always waiting for me to return, why is that??? And usually they are pissed off, about something that someone else could’ve prevented hours ago. Now Now it’s my job.

I go out to lunch most of the time for some R. and R. I don’t get to play shop foreman very often so while he’s out, I get his role automatically. While he has to wait around and bitch about me even having a lunch. !!! Ha ha. but Les is a good guy and all the techs respect his ability and opinions and they work well together. A lot of people drop off the car for service in the a.m., and we provide a shuttle service to get them to work locally, then they pick the car up at noon if promised. Sometimes they have questions, I enjoy meeting our customers and answering any questions they may have concerning their service work. We enjoy a loyal clientele at our service department.and many of them have known me personally for years and like to make comments about our service, and.some have suggestions as how we can make it better, or just to say hello Bob, or thanks Bob, or how are ya. Bob.! I really love this position, because we have great customers and a great well trained and courteous crew of mechanics without them we would not be in business long.

Today is to be a very special day in my life, very, very different for another reason that I.will learn about later … . Something is going to happen that is going to change my life dramatically and it is lurking out there today, I just didn’t know it, … . and it was going to be a major lifestyle change for me.!! … . and I was even going to like it. Eventually.!!!

As one o’clock approached I headed out to lunch as my cashier Ina, and secretary Beth, both had returned, Beth was so excited, and thanked me for switching lunch times with her, she had loved the opportunity to lunch today with hubby, as she called him. I had decided to have a couple of tacos and refried beans and some pico for lunch, and was looking forward to the meal at Rosa’s Mexican Restaurant just up the street, in a little mini mall from the dealership, as I walked out to the sidewalk and turned up the street there in the shade of the large dealership sign was a beautiful young lady with her small little Wire Terrier dog on a leash, and as I approached her, I stopped and ask her if she was waiting for a ride.

She smiled and said no that she and her dog were waiting for her new boss Mr Flores to complete his business in the sales managers office, then she would be on her way to California this afternoon. Beautifully day isn’t it. I replied, she nodded and said yes it sure is, I love the weather here In Arizona.as she looked up at the cloudless sky. I had almost choked when she had mentioned Flores, but I held my tongue and continued our conversation. She evidently didn’t know Mr Flores as well as I did, I knew plenty about this bastard and his dealings with our sales managers.

Have you had lunch I ask, she paused a moment and replied presently No, I don’t have any cash money at the moment, I only have a pay check that I would have to take to a bank and cash and I’m not familiar with this area so i don’t know where one is. That surprised me a bit also. So I ask if she would care to join me, I’m buying. I said. She paused for a couple of seconds, thinking about my motives I’m sure. If you have time, and are hungry of course, I added, I then explained to her that I was one of the managers at the dealership, she paused again for a moment and then ask me where I was going to eat, so I told her about the nice Mexican Restaurant about a hundred yards up the street that I was walking up to. She then ask if they had other food, Why? I ask, don’t you like Mexican food, she replied she had never had any, that really surprised me, Never! I ask.??Really??none? I just had to have a small laugh about that, and said WOW! that surprises me, come on, O, I’m so sorry, what’s your name? SherrI she replied, well I’m Bob the Parts and Service Manager I replied and stuck my hand out to shake hands with this lovely lady. Very nice to meet you Sherri I replied. and I secretly wondered why would this young lady be associated with a pervert like Flores. I guess I’m about to find out I thought.

We will find something for you thats eatable I’m sure SherrI. As we three walked away, on up to the restaurant, there I found a nice shady spot in the shrubbery for her little doggie, and tied her off securely. Then we went in and i ask the waitress Juanita, if she could get me some cool water for the lady’s little dog out in the shrubs. Sure Bob, she said, and was back In a minute or two with a bowl of water with ice cubes in it, I excused myself and went out and set the bowl down for her dog. She seemed extremely happy to see that cold water, you are welcome I said as she was lapping up the water furiously.

When I returned Sherri was seated at a nice table, with Pico and corn chips for the taking.being served to the table. She thanked me.for thinking of her dog saying that was very kind of you Bob. No problem I answered, it gets pretty hot in the Arizona sun out there especially if you are covered in hair. She smiled and replied yes, I’m sure it does. but I didn’t know where to go to get her some water, this place is so huge she said. She.had read the menu, but I’m sure that she knew less about the food dishes offered now than she did when we came in, so I ask if I could order for her, nothing Hot!!!, she begged me please very very emphatically, waving her hand over an open mouth, I had to laugh and assured her that I would never do a mean thing like that to a gorgeous little lady like you, she smiled, I could see she liked compliments.

We were in the process of bonding already and just met.a few minutes ago.

I ordered two tacos each an refried beans for us both and more Pico for me, I liked the Pico mixed into the beans, she ask what the Pico was, I explained, she remarked ooou!!, thats got to be too hot for my taste she said, none for me.please. Then came a pitcher of beer, that surprised her i think, I poured us each a glass. I noticed as we waited for the meal that her glass was constantly getting low, and I refilled it several times for her as we waited. She WAS thirsty I thought. When the meal was served, she watched as I ate the tacos and followed my every move, and about half way thru the first one she remarked how good these were, and ask me again what they were called. Finger food in English I replied, and laughed!!! Really? She ask. No, No, Tacos I told her, I’m just kidding, I think that it means sandwich in Spanish, but don’t hold me to that Sherri. These are delicious, she remarked time after time, I ordered her two more, after the fourth one disappeared she smiled and said thank you Bob. How are those made, could I make those?.i explained as best as I could, how to make a taco to her. She was really into the Mexican sandwich for sure after her first-time with them. I was pleased, and she had found a new savory treat for herself. And. I had just met an interesting and a lovely young lady that. Intrigued me. Little did I know what was in my future with her at this moment moment in time.

She had told me while waiting for our meal, that the man she was waiting on was the agent for the Van Conversions company out of L.A. California, I almost choked again on my Pico and chips, That sorry bastard !!! I almost said much too loudly, and she jumped as my voice went up loud, I saw the question comeing, you know him? she ask. Yes, I managed to say, in a lower quieter tone, I know too much about him, SherrI. So in the next few minutes I told her as nicely as I could managed without swearing, what he did with pretty young girls like her, what,?!!! she almost whispered to me. He uses them as prostitutes to encourage the sales managers to be more than happy to purchase four or five extra of his conversion vans, if two hours in a motel room with one of these beautiful young girls could sway their buying habits. her. mouth flew open as she gasp, O No!!! O Yes I said, this was going on all over the place In California and other surrounding states, thats most likely why he hired you Sherri, I could see that comment had shocked her badly, because her facial expression had changed very dramatically and her eyes had opened wider, it had shocked her to hear that. I said that right now, even at this moment two of his girls are most likely down the street with two of our sales managers in a motel, and he can’t possibly leave for California until every thing is finished and the paper work is signed for the extra vans the girls just sold for him.

Dirty Bastard!!! I mumbled. Her eyes got even much larger, and words formed on her lips that she never spoke but I think I knew what they were. She wanted more information, but was afraid to ask. She looked trapped.and was wondering how to get out of this predicament now, I could only hope she would be treated differently than his usual prey. But not likely! if there’s a way to use you to make him more money, you are in trouble Sherri.

She was flabbergasted, He seems to be such a nice man, she said. Yes I said but just wait until you see his horns. He’s the Devil in disguise. He has his girls drive the vans to far off places in Calif. Nevada, and Ariz. Then he tells you privately what to do with the Sales Managers and if you refuse, he fires you on the spot.and abandons you on the spot. So now you are alone. no way to go anywhere else, you are trapped, if you have no money, or any one you can call, you cant afford to part ways with this jerk, if you still refuse, he tells you that you just forfeited any earnings you had coming, Now he realy has you trapped, you have no choice but to comply with his wishes, he is a master of deception with young girls. A dirty, low life, sneaky lieing Sorry Bastard!!! He ruins a lot of young girls like this with the. Easy Money story.

I saw tears welling up in her eyes, but she said nothing for a few minutes, I saw the panic in her eyes, then she emptied her glass at one long drink and slowly she recovered her composure again. i’m sorry Sherri, I did not mean to upset you, please forgive me, I didn’t mean to do that, I just don’t like Mr Flores, he’s a snake. In my opinion he should be arrested for his behavior and treatment of pretty young girls like you. It’s disgusting. to me to see him use and waste the lives of these young girls, it offends me terribly. If it was my daughter, the undertaker would be his next stop. I said, with more vigor than I had intended as I slammed my fist into the table, causing other patrons to stare.and her to reel back in amazement at my sudden demeanor.just the thoughts of.what he was forcing these young girls to go through was despicable, inhuman, and illegal and just the thoughts of the young lives he was wrecking, made me mad and made me sad. They would never forget what this man did to them and it would affect the way they felt about all men in their future relationships with them.

She then told me she had quit her job at ten this A.M. and I could see she was embarrassed, but he talked a sweet thing to these girls, about how much money they could make driving his vans, he just didn’t include the fact that one half of what you made is on your back In some twenty dollar motel room with some fat old Fart with bad breath. Because he usually gives you an extra bonus if you complied, and he sold more van’s because of your choice to do as he ask. Damm Nice Guy. Huh???? Is there anything else you can do for a job I ask? No I’ve never had a real job, got married right out of high school and was
