- Mating Thomas @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter Two Thomas gathered the pages of statistics from his desk and shoved them in a folder. Next he grabbed the pamphlets he had on safe sex and abstinence. He tossed them in the folder as well before heading out of the rec center and locking the place up. His back was killing him and Thomas wanted to get home to a nice, hot bath. As he inserted his key, he noticed the lock was broken. There was some sort of metal shoved inside the tumbler, preventing him from inserting his key. Thomas ran his fingers over the lock, wondering how on earth this happened. It looked to have been done on purpose. But who would do something like this? In all the years he had worked here, no one had ever broken into the rec center or defaced any part of the property. Everyone in town knew Maverick funded the place, and no one wanted to piss the man off. He had done so much for the community that they feared he would stop the funds and the small town that everyone loved would dry up.
