Chapter 6
Little Janis stood naked in an alleyway behind an adult movie theater on Santa Monica Boulevard. The warm August night felt cool against her naked flesh. Her clothes lay in a small pile at her feet.
The man who had escorted her to this dark and not so remote place had his hand up between her thighs and was using his finger to penetrate her. Janis had his cock in her hand and was stroking him as hard as she could.
"Are you going to come?" Janis asked, watching the blinking lights at the end of the alley.
The guy was in his late forties, heavyset and a hard breather. "I'm all right," he replied, as if delaying his orgasm was exactly what the beautiful little chick wanted.
"But you're so hard and big and throbbing!" Janis squeezed his prick, held it tightly, and resumed the masturbation.
The guy held her breast and sucked on the rigid little nipple, clenching the bud between his teeth and stabbing at the tip with his tongue. "Mmmmmm . . . " he moaned.
Janis arched her belly out and rubbed her tuft of hair against the tip of his cock. She even managed to get that inflamed organ to move against the top of her slit. "Feel good?" she asked.
"Mmmmmm . . . mmmm . . . " The guy was busy with her breast, sucking and nipping.
Janis knew that she was late. Tom would be waiting at the coffee shop for her by now. All she had wanted to do was to pick up an easy twenty from this obviously aroused patron of the adult movie theater. But the guy had decided the alley was a perfect place to practice his methods of orgasmic longevity. They had been at it for ten minutes already, and the guy was as close to coming as he had been when he had first propositioned her.
Janis closed her eyes for a moment, leaned her naked ass against the cool stucco of the building. She was jerking him off with a crazy, almost violent speed, but still he would not come. Finally she knew what she had to do.
Dropping to her knees, Janis guided the tip of his cock between her lips. She brushed her tongue along the inflamed head, then stabbed gently at his hole. The guy tried to bring her to her feet, to prolong the session as long as possible. But Janis remained where she was, taking all of him into her throat.
"No! Easy! Please!" The guy was trying everything to hold back, tensing his body, counting aloud to himself, and even reciting the Lord's Prayer. But the techniques were virtually worthless when confronted by the wild tongue and mouth of Janis.
She felt, with a great sense of relief his cock begin to spasm and shudder. Quickly she pulled her mouth away, and directed his shooting muscle toward the side. His semen spurted onto the ground, a sizzling sound emanating where the warm liquid touched the even hotter cement. Janis held on to him until he had finally rid himself of everything. Then, quickly, she got dressed.
"I wanted that to go on forever," the guy said sadly as he stuffed himself back into his slacks.
"That was obvious," Janis replied, pulling her halter top up over her creamy breasts.
"I wanted to stay with you all night."
"Not for twenty bucks you didn't," Janis said.
The guy put his hand on Janis' shoulder and searched her young, innocent eyes. "Then how much? I mean, for all night?"
Janis chuckled. "Man, you really got it bad, don't you?"
"Worse than that. I need companionship. How much?"
"A hundred. One solid yard." Janis had turned a few tricks back in Ohio, especially with the members of the football team, usually nothing more than a quick hand job beneath the stands before the games. But she had learned the jargon of the trade quickly, and found it easy to relate it to football. Guilt sometimes rested its heavy hand on her shoulder, however, because she felt personally responsible for the fact that not only did her team lose every game, but scored only one touchdown all season.
"I'll do a hundred with you," the guy said, grinning.
"I can't tonight. But maybe some other time, okay?"
The guy was virtually at the end of his rope. "Jesus Christ! I come to these movies every night -- to practice you know? -- and I've never seen a more beautiful girl than you. This is the first time, and now you tell me that you can't!"
Janis leaned up and kissed the man on the cheek. "Listen babe," she whispered as sensually as she could, "I'll know where to find you, then. Won't I?"
The guy smiled. "Yeah. Every night. I'm here usually around eight."
"Good. You can expect me." Janis kissed him once more, then turned and scampered down the alleyway and out onto Santa Monica. The man rubbed his sore cock as he watched her turn the corner. It had been one of his better nights.
Tom was sitting at the counter of the coffee shop, absently playing with his cup and smoking a cigarette. It had been a long day, a long couple of days, actually. Walking the streets of Hollywood, with the photograph of Jennie, accosting the kids who stood on the street corners like zombies. Most of them would smile, an enigmatic smile which told Tom that, even if they knew, they weren't telling. It was an unwritten code, a secret fraternity of youth who stuck by one another, never allowing the "enemy" inside to learn their secrets. Janis had become his only link, and the young girl was proving a hard worker.
"Hi!" Janis said brightly, taking the stool next to Tom. "Been here long?" she asked, resting her hand on his thigh and sliding it slowly up to his groin.
"Jesus Christ, don't you ever stop?" Tom demanded, his flushed face and wild grin betraying his lack of anger.
"Not with you, never." Janis cupped his balls then found his steadily rising manhood and gripped it. "Nice!"
"Enough of that," Tom said, pulling her hand away. "Did you find anything?"
Janis turned away from him, grabbed one of his Marlboros, and lit it. When she was lighting a cigarette, her true age was evident. She held the stem with one hand, then quickly puffed out the smoke. Older women always seemed to inhale, taking the burning smoke deep into their lungs in a fashion that was ritualistic. Young girls puffed.
"Well," Janis began, "I found some people who told me about this strange place in the mountains."
Tom listened eagerly. He had come up with nothing, and a change of scenery would be a good thing.
"It's a retreat of sorts, a place where people go to experience total and complete sensuality -- a fuck farm, is the way I hear it."
"Jennie would never go to a place like that!"
"Why?" Janis asked quickly. "Too young?"
Tom got the point. "Okay. Where is this place?"
"Near the ocean, above Malibu. They told me how to get there. It'll cost us twenty-five bucks apiece to go inside."
"Well, we got nothing to lose, do we?"
"No, not too much."
"I think," Tom said softly, "that it's about time we left this town anyway. If she's here, we're never going to find her."
The Nirvana Ranch sat on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean. The stone gate entrance advertised the fact that the property was private, and that trespassers would be dealt with.
Tom pulled his old Ford to a stop in front of the entrance. "I don't know," he said, looking at the warning sign.
"Bullshit" Janis said, her head throbbing with the anticipation of going into an orgy ranch. "Just drive in. The people I talked with said it was cool."
"Shit. Okay." Tom ground the car into first, and pulled onto the narrow, gravel road. They traveled slowly up over a rise, through a small valley, and finally arrived at a huge stone house sitting on the very edge of the bluff.
"Shit, that's nice!" Janis exclaimed, jumping out of the car.
A nude young man walked up to Janis from the front door of the house. Janis grinned broadly at the sight, her eyes riveted on his long, slender prick.
"Hello there," he said. "My name's Dick, can I help you?"
Janis stammered. "Uh, sure. We've come to -- uh -- Tom?"
Tom was sliding out of the driver's seat. Already the idea of coming to the ranch had become a bad one. This naked dude standing there turning Janis on didn't appeal to him in the least. And her obvious appreciation of him made matters worse.
"We're just leaving," Tom said coldly.
"Oh, Tom!" Janis squealed. "I want to stay."
"Yeah, I can see that!"
"Listen, man," Dick began, "it's up to you. But we don't want any bad scenes here, you dig? I mean, you both look pretty cool and everything, but if it's going to turn into a bummer then you'd better forget it."
Tom was about to say yes, it was turning into a bummer, when the appearance of two nude girls stopped him cold. They were both young -- not as young as Janis, but young enough to still retain the smooth firm lines of youth. One was brunette, the other blonde. The brunette had extremely large breasts which swayed as she walked. She also had a shaven cunt, with her pink slit gleaming in the afternoon. And both of them smiled at Tom as they walked by.
"Maybe we should go," Janis said suddenly.
Dick laughed. "Shit, a jealousy game! Man, no one plays those trips around here."
Tom grinned. "I guess it's impossible. Let's stay." Dick stood between them, his hands on his hips. "Uh, man. The bread?"
"Oh yeah," Tom said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a fifty-dollar bill. "This cover it?"
Dick took the money and folded it carefully. "Gets you a whole day and night. C'mon, I'll show you around."
Dick led them through the main entrance of the house. Inside was a huge living room with a great stone fireplace. Five people were sitting around the fireplace playing Monopoly. Three women and two men -- all naked. The women looked up at Tom and smiled as he walked by. Tom felt the first stirrings of an erection. He wondered if anyone ever went through that particular embarrassment.
"Of course, man," Dick said, replying to Tom's question. "But after a while, you'll get used to it."
"No," Tom drawled slowly, "I don't think so. Ain't never got used to naked women."
Dick laughed, then led them onto the outside sun-deck. Here, five girls all young and firm, were basking in the sun. Tom marveled at the way they parted their thighs and seemed totally without modesty: Each one seemed to be flashing her beaver, even going so far as to raise her hips a few inches off the patio chairs.
Janis watched Tom carefully, feeling pangs of jealousy as he grinned at the naked women.
"Over there," Dick explained, pointing to a huge, glass-enclosed structure that looked very much like a greenhouse, "is our pool. In the pool, you can drop your cool and do . . . well, whatever . . . " Dick grinned at Janis, and the girl once again explored his groin area with her eyes.
"That sounds like a gas," she said.
"It is. Now, if you want to take off your clothes, there's dressing rooms behind the patio."
Within a couple of minutes, Tom and Janis stood naked on the patio. Tom felt conspicuous, wondering if his cock was going to rise or fall. "Shit, I ain't never been naked with strangers before," he said.
Janis laughed, reached down and grasped his penis. "C'mon, you're beautiful!"
Tom looked at her, at her large breasts and her soft tuft of pubic hair and felt himself giving way to desire. "C'mon, let's go swimming."
The pool was huge, an Olympic-size rectangle filled with playing, laughing souls. Tom and Janis stood on the side, watching the people below them. A man and a woman, in middle age, were going at it with complete abandonment. The woman had her legs wrapped around the man's waist, her head thrown back and an expression of total ecstasy on her face.
"Jesus," Tom mumbled, "I never seen people fucking before. Except in movies, of course."
"It's kinda weird, isn't it?"
Tom nodded. But as strange as the scene before him was, it did serve to stimulate him. He felt his cock growing steadily, and decided it would be best to get into the water before he became embarrassed.
Janis joined him a moment later, half-sitting in waist-high water, her gleaming breasts above the surface, the swirling and abstract vision of her cunt below. "Damn, Tom," she said, "fuck me?"
Tom grinned, and pulled her to him. Janis wrapped her legs around his waist, reached down and held his hard prick. "Jesus . . . " she moaned as she directed the tip against her wet lips.
"Easy baby" Tom stammered, "I'm not gonna last too long."
"Just get it inside me, that's all!"
Janis lined herself up with his cock, then slowly wiggled her hips until it slid up into her vagina. "Oh, man!" she groaned when the full mass of his meat was throbbing against her canal walls. "God, that feels good!"
Tom began pumping slowly inside her, pulling back an inch, then pressing in again. Janis held on to his slippery shoulders and threw her head back so that her breasts were thrust out. Her nipples were "hard and erect, and seemed to throb each time Tom pushed himself into her.
"Fuck me, baby! Jam it in there!" Janis cried as Tom thrust harder and harder.
Janis came quickly, feeling the first rush of her orgasm matching the initial throb of Tom's cock. It was the fastest either had ever come.
Dick stood above them on the side of the pool applauding. His cock was in a state of half-erection, and he grinned broadly. "Beautiful! That was just beautiful!" he cried loudly.
Tom looked up at the young man, then around him at the rest of the people in the pool. Everyone was watching. "Shit!" he exclaimed. The people laughed.
Janis pulled herself from Tom's lap and floated lazily on the surface of the water. Dick jumped into the pool next to her and moved his hands to her buttocks. "It'll keep you up," he said.
Janis breathed deeply as she felt his hand pry apart her cheeks, and one finger begin playing at her anus. "Easy," she warned softly.
"I know," Dick replied. But he persisted, moving his forefinger in small, circular motions around her tight little hole.
Janis reached for him as he moved inside her. "Oh!" she cried loudly as the full length of his finger entered her there.
"You've never had it there, have you?" Dick asked, a smile on his face as he moved his finger in and out.
"No. Never."
"It's good there. Up here at Nirvana, you'll learn all the ways."
Janis closed her eyes, reached beneath the water and held Dick's cock. He was rigid now. She traced the length of him, feeling his veins throbbing as the blood expanded them. "Could you put it inside me?" she asked.
Dick did not answer, but instead turned her over, then brought her up so that she was sitting on his lap. Janis spread her legs as she felt the mushroom tip of his penis against her anus. "Oh . . . oh oh!! ! " she cried over and over again as he began pushing himself deep into her asshole.
When he had entered her all the way, he began stroking her evenly and gently. The pain was at once satisfying and horrendous. Janis began to grow dizzy with it.
But Dick persisted, reaching around the front of her body and inserting his hand between her swollen labia. He found her clit and rubbed that organ deftly and smoothly.
When she came, it was if her entire body was exploding into two sections. From the front and the rear the shots of electrical energy poured through her. She twisted, cried and moaned -- her voice echoing off the suspended roof above the pool.
Tom did not know whether to be angry or to enjoy watching. One element which might have helped his refraining from action, however, was the mouth of the sexy brunette. At the exact moment that Janis was coming, the brunette was diving beneath the surface and taking Tom's penis into her mouth. She sucked on him as long as possible, then surfaced for more air, then dove down again to continue her mission.
When he came, she stayed down there and swallowed it all. Finally, she surfaced with a broad grin on her face, her hair hanging in ringlets across her pretty, oval face. Tom reached out and held her large breast, playing with the silver-dollar nipple and admiring its size.
"You see" she said, "we all love each other here."
Tom grinned. "That's very obvious."
The Orgo Room was located on the far edge of the Nirvana Ranch in an old, rickety barn. The basic purpose, as explained to Tom and Janis by Dick, was to give people a place to learn their "orgasmic potential."
"Most people go through life," Dick said lightly as he strode across the open field towards the barn, "and never realize just bow much they are missing. Most people just plain don't know how to come."
"That's funny," Tom interjected. "I always felt like I was getting all of my rocks off pretty good."
Dick smiled at the older, weather-beaten man with a condescending look on his face. "Well, like, I said, some people have just never experienced it all."
Janis was walking between the two men, listening halfheartedly as they spoke. Her eyes kept moving back and forth, from Dick's groin to Tom's and back to Dick's. As she walked, her naked thighs rubbed together gently, and she felt that familiar warmth, that moisture which seeped from the folds of her cunt and lubricated her sex. Her nipples were aching and her belly was taut and fluttery. She decided that she wanted both men at the same time.
Dick was talking about the various levels of orgasm when Janis stopped walking. "Anything wrong?" Dick asked turning back to the nude girl.
Janis felt herself blushing, a rare occurrence for the normally brash youngster. "Well, I was just thinking about something."
Dick looked to Tom, then back at Janis. "Sexy?" he asked.
"Yeah, real sexy. But I don't know how to ask."
Tom laughed. "Damn, Janis, you just made it no more than fifteen minutes ago! You want it again?"
Janis folded her hands modestly in front of her covering her sparse thatch of pubic hair. "I don't know how to say this . . . but I was thinking . . . if both of you . . . I mean, if I had you two."
Dick smiled. "At the same time? Sandwich-like?"
Tom turned away and let out a yell. "Goddamn, I can't believe this!"
"What do you say, Tom?" Dick demanded.
Tom shook his head. "I come looking for my little girl, and before I know it, I'm involved in all kinds of perverse sex. Shit, it's a funny fucking life!"
As Janis listened to Tom debating with himself, she lowered herself to the lawn. Rolling over onto her side, she raised her leg and placed her foot high on her thigh. Her hand was between her thighs, and she was rubbing her already moist vagina slowly and sensually. "Please," she begged. "I Want it."
Tom turned and looked down at her naked body. Her little slit was wide open, her pink and erect clit popping in and out of her crack like a small pulsating rod. "Jesus!" he moaned, reaching down and grabbing his cock. He began masturbating himself until be became hard. "I think I'm game, Dick!"
Dick was already hard. He leaned down behind Janis and began stroking her anus, diving in deep between the cheeks of her ass and lubricating her tight little hole with her own cunt juices.
Tom lay down in front of the girl and rubbed the tip of his prick up and down the length of her wet slit.
"Oh Tom . . . thank you!" Janis moaned, reaching beneath his stem and fondling his balls.
"It's all right, little girl." Tom replied, cupping her breast and tracing the circular line of her vividly pink nipple.
"You okay up front?" Dick asked, peering over Janis' shoulder.
"Oh yes . . . " Janis replied.
"Okay," Dick began. "Janis, you roll over and get on top of Tom. Okay?"
Tom lay down on the grass and watched as Janis climbed onto his belly. As she threw her legs across his body, Tom watched her beautiful little cunt split open -- a flash of pink wet skin that made his cock throb.
Janis sat upright, took Tom's penis, and rubbed it against her crack. Then, she raised herself up, slid forward, and lined up Tom's cock with her hole.
"Easy . . . easy . . . " she moaned as she slid gently down on the bulk of his stem.
Dick was behind her now, his arms around her and his hands cupping and fondling her breasts. Janis fell forward as Dick began working his penis in between her cheeks, driving his length up into the tiny hole.
"Ahhh . . . God, it hurts so good!" Janis screamed.
Dick held her tightly. He began stroking her evenly, and soon she was responding. Tom had nothing to do but lie still and allow her to ride his shaft.
"Oh man, this is wild!" Tom bellowed as the rhythms increased along with the trio's moans and groans.
"Come on baby!" Dick bellowed from behind. "Get it, get it get it!! ! "
Tom held Janis tightly against him as he felt her body begin to shudder. She raised herself up, a twisted expression of ecstasy on her face, and yelled to the sky: "God! It's so good!"
Tom began laughing out of the pure joy of the moment, as he felt himself give way and shoot his load into Janis' cunt. Dick came a moment later, and the three became one -- a throbbing, shuddering mass of energy released into space.
"Man, that. was wild!" Tom said a few moments later as they lay beside each other on the lawn.
"For new people, you guys really adapt pretty well."
Janis lay on her back, a hand on each man's penis. "Let's go to the Orgo Room and learn to have a proper orgasm, shall we?"
Both Tom and Dick broke out laughing, and soon Janis joined them.
The laughter stopped when they entered the Orgo Room. Sedate, shadowed in darkness with only a few candles for illumination the large room was not particularly right for loud conversation.
At the far end of the room was the center of the activity. A large mattress lay on the floor, surrounded by candles and burning sticks of incense. At the head of the mattress, sitting cross-legged and nude on a raised platform, was a thin, guru-looking man looking down at the three couples sitting before him.
As far as Tom could make out, the couples on the mattress were older. They were not the same lithe, beautiful people he had seen outside on the grounds of the institute. Instead, the men were flabby, and the women had short hair and bulky figures.
"They're all new," Dick whispered to Janis and Tom, as if to explain the people's physical appearance. "They haven't had the time to get themselves into condition, to turn themselves into natural, beautiful people."
"What are they doing down there?" Tom asked, squinting through the darkness.
"Matt, the man with the beard, is the orgasmic leader of our community. He has studied orgasm with Masters and Johnson, through the Eastern religions, and has finally combined it with Janov's primal scream therapy."
"Huh?" Tom grunted.
Dick looked at the blank faces next to him and smiled. "Like I said before, he's teaching the people to get the most out of their orgasm. He's very effective."
At that moment, Matt raised his arms and held them out over the people. The six nudes in front of him began rocking back and forth. It appeared from where Tom stood that they were holding hands.
"Actually," Dick said in response to Tom's question, "they're masturbating. Each person masturbates the person next to him. They've joined together to reach a multiple orgasm."
The sounds emanating from the people began to rise in unison. Their movements became more and more intense with their rocking movements more and more powerful.
"Would you like to join them?" Dick asked.
Janis rubbed her pubis absently. "Gee, I'm pretty sore right now."
"It doesn't matter," Dick said. "You'll be transported above the pain level anyway."
Tom focused on the woman at the end of the line, a thin woman with a free hand. "Yeah, let's get into it."
"Okay." Dick took their hands and led them through the darkness to the mattress. Tom took a seat next to the thin woman at the far end, while Dick and Janis both snuggled in between a couple.
"More energy!" Matt exclaimed as he saw the three people joining the group. "More energy has been added . . . let us pick up and move!"
Tom hardly had a second to adjust before the woman next to him was handling his penis. Her deft fingers worked smoothly over his already sore flesh, massaging him gently into a full erection. Tom thought about how it had been over twenty years since he'd had this many erections in one day. And besides that, he hadn't taken a drink all day. Silently, he cursed alcohol.
He moved his hand up the woman's thin, warm thigh and felt the clump of tangled pubic hair. The woman shuddered slightly as Tom felt around between her moist thighs. The man on the other side of her already had three fingers firmly inserted into her vagina, and there wasn't much room for Tom.
"Pulsating flesh . . . throbbing meat . . . moist sex . . . " Matt's words were coming in a monotone. Tom looked at the man and tried to guess his age. He couldn't. All he knew was that the guy had a huge hard-on and seemed to enjoy whacking himself off while he watched the others do the same thing.
Suddenly, Tom felt himself being thrown into the energy of the group. The moans and groans increased, and the woman next to him began stroking him harder and harder. Tom pushed the other guy's hand out of the way and took over her slippery tunnel with his fingers.
A woman at the far end of the line cried out, screaming like an animal in the throes of death. Tom shuddered but felt himself totally connected ,with those around him and did not stop.
The woman next to him began lurching back and forth. She pulled her hand off Tom's cock and put it between her legs, forcing his hand deeper and deeper inside her cunt. Tom was feeling strained and as if his wrist would break.
"Come . . . come together . . . come!! ! " Matt was now beating out a cadence with his foot, all the while jerking himself off vigorously.
The woman next to him suddenly leaned over and buried her head in Tom's groin. She sucked his prick inside her mouth with such force that Tom jerked backwards. But she stayed with it, lapping up the meat of his sex with her tongue as she bobbed up and down along his throbbing length.
"Come . . . come . . . come!" Matt was now shouting, standing with his cock in his hand, beating himself off wildly.
Tom felt his cock shudder, pulled his hand out of the woman's cunt, and forced her head powerfully against his groin. He spurted his semen into her mouth, and felt her throat contracting as she tried to swallow everything.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Matt was coming all over the woman directly in front of him, his semen dripping onto her blonde hair and running down her face. She leaned forward, raised her head and screamed. The room exploded into a animalistic orgy of grunts and groans, primal screams and violent convulsions. It took five full minutes before everyone was through. The quiet which replaced the wild noise was almost deafening.
Everyone but Tom was lying on the mattress, breathing heavily and occasionally muttering how good it all felt. Tom finally turned toward the woman who had sucked him off and smiled down at her. She smiled back, then lost her smile as Tom's expression turned into one of complete and utter shock.
"My God!" Tom shouted.
"What's wrong?" Janis asked from the darkness.
"My God!" the woman shouted.
"Lorraine?" Matt asked, a soothing tone to his voice.
Tom jumped to his feet and pointed down at his ex-wife with an accusing finger. "I knew you were no damn good!"
"You always fucked anyone who came along!" she shouted back.
"You little whore! Sucking off a total stranger!"
"You let me, didn't you! You male chauvinist pig!"
The argument grew to such drastic proportions that finally Matt and Dick had to put themselves between the couple. When Tom and the woman had finally settled down, Dick began talking.
"You people are very, very uncool," he said. "Now, you want to explain your total lack of cool to the others?"
"This woman," Tom began through clenched teeth, "is my ex-wife!"
"Oh," Dick said softly.
Lorraine stood with her hands on her hips and her legs apart. Even though she was thin, and a little older, she was still sexy. "You want to tell me exactly what you're doing here, Tom?" she demanded.
"You first!"
Lorraine glared at her husband. "Since I had to leave you 'cause you couldn't keep your hands off the little whores, I married a creep. The last time my husband made love was to a Playboy centerfold!"
"Lorraine," Matt interrupted smoothly, "suffers from total orgasmic deprivation. We are trying to establish her orgasm quota at a normal level as soon as possible."
"Shit!" Tom muttered, unable to keep his eyes off his wife's slender, sensual body. She had done all right by him with her mouth. "I'm sorry to hear that" he said, a little more gently now.
"And now you?" Lorraine asked.
Tom cleared his throat. "Well, it turns out I'm here looking for our little girl."
"Jennie!? ! "
"Yeah. She's all grown up now. Ran away from home a couple of weeks ago. I been looking for her."
"Well this is one hell of a place to come looking for our little girl!"
Tom sat down on the mattress slowly, as if suddenly struck by the shock of it all. "It's even more of a hell of a place to find your goddamn wife!"
Lorraine dropped to her knees in front of Tom. She rested her hands high on his thighs. "Maybe it's fate, Tom," she said softly.
Tom nodded.
Janis turned to Dick, "It's really amazing, isn't it?" she said in an emotional voice.
Dick nodded solemnly. "Many strange and wonderful things happen herein the Orgo Room, Janis. This has been but one of them."
The rest of the people heard this and nodded in unison.
