CHAPTER 1

Before Dakota came down from the authority, Amy came scuffling out of her bedroom. Apparently, she was up late watching moving picture. The one I saw before going to bed was only one of three that the gang watched. I sat her down and gave her the update about what had happened. She looked like a lost puppy because this was not something that we had discussed as a means of security.

She asked if she could go contract a quick shower and then help on the telephone set. I sent her to get that shower as I would ask a unsleeping Amy.

Jill was pacing back and forth. I couldn't tell if she was worried or if she was thinking about her adjacent motion. BJ was pretty much her shadow. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the succeeding tone for them might be.

The spinal column door opened and the seven from the studio and the kitty menage filed in. Allison wouldn't tone at me. I directed everyone to put their stuff in the bedroom that they stay in when we are in lockdown.

Fred took his two nephews aside and spoke to them. Although I couldn't hear what was said, I knew it wasn't good as both boys kept looking at the ground. Aurora sat nervously at the kitchen table, not really looking at me. The porn twins went upstairs to the room that they had chosen to put their clobber down and came back down to the kitchen.

While mass were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big stack of papers. She set them on the kitchen tabular array and headed back up the stairs. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree location were printed out, each location listed the reference, the building block phone number, the phone, and fax number as well as the electric current General coach's epithet. I flipped through the great deal and took off about 10 pages and began handing them out.

Since it didn't really matter what locations you ended up with, I just took the top 10 Sir Frederick Handley Page then the next 10 and so on.

"If I paw anyone locations that are Mae West of the Mississippi River, please set them aside and move on. Look at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to give you a different set of 10 pageboy,"I tell the group.

One of the CG boys had pages for AR, I took those vertebral column and handed him the side by side 10. I decided to compensate what should be said,"OK, everyone here's what I would like you to say to the contact unit. ‘ Hello Mr. Julia Evelina Smith, I'm David from Jaxson, Inc. base place. We're aware that you currently have no computer system of rules. We've had a technological glitch and our IT department is working hard on fixing the issue as quickly as possible. When the system is restored you will encounter a content that says our organisation is back online. Until you receive this message please cause your people stay off our system of rules. Do you receive any doubt at this point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your assistance,"Then you should hang up and move on to the future unit.

"Does anyone suffer any motion about what they are supposed to be doing ?"I ask.

"Yes sir, can Bobby and I make some phone calls to help ?"Sammy says.

"Absolutely ! That is great of you guys,"I tell the two chefs. I see both CG son and Allison not looking at me. I'm sure that Fred lit his nephews up and well, Allison, I can tell she's nervous about what will encounter. Aurora is just sitting there with her ten pages acting as nix has happened. I'll address this issue when matter are much more settled down. The porn Twin Falls and Belinda seem excited to enter as they have note pads, pens and their cellular phone sound plugged into the wall to keep them charged.

My sound bombination. It's broker Heidi Longmire.

"Hello Mr. Greene, this is broker Longmire. I believe you spoke with Special Agent Fernandez and he let you have a go at it that I would be coming by to pick up your laptop. Please control me you have not opened that electronic mail,"she says to me.

"Agent Longmire, the laptop is closed and unplugged from the rampart. It is ready to be handed off to you when you get here. How far away are you ?"I ask her.

"I'm coming down your armed service road right now,"she says.

"OK, then I'll delay until I see your car and then open the logic gate,"I say.

I head to the security system photographic camera in the kitchen to watch until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the necessary clitoris to open the logic gate. I watch her pull the car into the court and I poke the push button to close the gate immediately after she pulls in.

I pick up the laptop and power cord and walk over by the front threshold. As I wait for her to add up to the doorway, I hear my group making earphone calls and almost repeating the speech exactly that I gave them to say.

There is a knock at the door.

"Who is it ?"I ask.

"It's agent Longmire,"she says.

"Please testify me your credential,"I say to her.

I open the door just a few inches and see her holding her FBI ID. I open the door the rest of the way and let her come inside.

"Um, Mr. Greene, what is going on here ?"she asks.

"I have my mass calling each unit east of the Mississippi to let them know that we have a computer issue and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the superior general Managers to keep their people off the system until service is restored. Right now, we are working on the hotel class, but as soon as we have More link information printed out I'll stock split the group half working on the hotel part and half on the eating house position,"I tell her. She sees the laptop but before I deal it over to her I ask my question,"agent, are you espouse or in a family relationship ?"

"That's form of personal, isn't it. Mr. Greene ?"

"Not to me, it's not. I saw you running things when we had the shooting of your agents here. Captain Perez showed up and you turned the investigating over to him. I asked Special agentive role Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a tough actor and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to take in you to dinner to meet someone who works just as punishing as you do. He owns his own business and, in my head, I think the two of you would be compatible. However, let me be clear, I'm not matchmaking, I'm just doing introductions. If cipher happens then that's fine, but if you work as knockout as I think you work then maybe having someone to talk about body of work to might be of interest to you. If not, well then you got a nice dinner out of it. Have I scared you off ?"I ask her.

"Um, well……. I guess it's alright. I do turn a lot and really feature no time to go looking for someone to rely for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the local anaesthetic pub to pick up someone that I can't check out ahead of fourth dimension. Yeah, I'll be glad to go to dinner with whomever. One diminished note, I'm allergic to bell peppers. Doesn't issue the color just Bell peppers in full general. Here's my card, let me write my personal cellphone phone routine on the rear as I don't want to get in trouble for using the agency cell sound for personal business,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her number on the back.

"Thank you, agent. Here's the laptop,"I say as I bridge player her the computer. She puts the laptop into an evidence bag and seals it. I open the front door for her and out she goes. I go back to the security system and poke the buttons to open the gate and watch her leave.

I call Donna.

"Donna, how are things going ?"

"well, David I'm glad you gave me John. He's been a big help calming people down that are here. He is also taking call escalations and handling frantic customers. He's sorting the manual arriere pensee into 27 piles, one for each commonwealth and one pile for Washington D.C. DC. I variety of feel useless he's doing so much for the call centre,"Donna tells me.

"Well, then we made a good margin call sending him to your group. We're making birdcall from here. We have everyone working on it, even Bobby and Sammy. Mom and Fred are making outcry as well,"I tell her. She laughs a bit, but I can tell it's a flighty laugh.

"I'll bear on foundation with you later, keep working. Oh, one more matter how many the great unwashed do you have working ?"

"rightfulness now, 75, but in about 90 minutes the second shift arrives and that will take us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"

"I just wanted to keep on pill on how much supporter you have there since you are doing things manually. If you feel you need more multitude, then telephone them in. We'll work on the OT later,"I tell her. She thanks me and we end the call.

I dial up Paula next.

"Hello Paula, how goes the limo business ?"

"Really slow. The organisation is virtually down so we are taking booking for limo manually. We're explaining that we have a scheme issue but not to worry as our IT department is working on it as fast as possible. So far everyone seems OK with that account,"she tells me. I exhale a bit, as we have two businesses doing ok manually.

I hear Amy behind me telling someone that I'm on the phone.

I end my birdsong with Paula and walk over to Amy and gently adopt the phone from her.

"hullo, this is David Henry Graham Greene. Whom am I speaking to ?"I ask.

"This is stain indication. I'm a district manager for a Pinetree territorial dominion in Dallas. What the blaze is going on with our arrangement ?"

"Mr. recital, we have a large result with our computing machine system for every computer east of the Mississippi. Did Amy not tell you that we have a data processor issue and that the IT department is working on the issue ?"I ask him in an annoyed voice.

"fountainhead, I can't do my job with no computer. I need to seem at yesterday's numeral before I go home,"he tells me. I look at my watch it's 12:05 pm which makes it only 2 pm in Dallas.

"Please tell apart me when you go home,"I say to this district manager.

"I stay all the way until 3:30 pm since I got here at 9:30 this morning,"he replies.

"wellspring, since we are having subject, you may want to persist a bit longer tonight,"I tell him rather than explode on him as we are quite vulnerable.

I hear a hanker intermission before I get an answer,"OK, I guess I can stick around since its only one night,"he tells me.

"Well thank you. I'll be in touch sometime over the future few days,"I say to him. In my head, I don't understand how the territorial dominion managers think it is OK to go plate at 3:30 pm. After we get through this major result, I'm going to rattle a few cages to cue them that since they are on remuneration, they must figure out a lower limit of 45 hours a week. As I count, this district manager is working a total of 6 hours a day times 5 days and that comes to 30 time of day. He's a full 15 minute short and being paid for 45 but only working 30. That is going to change rather quickly. I have my plan B ready for my unheralded visit back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the same issue and need to look at direction single file, but with the FBI having my laptop computer, that will birth to wait a bit.

I decide to text Rob."I know you're very interfering. Are you making any progress ?"

I let my earphone sit for a bit as I plug it into the courser in the kitchen. I see people making big strides with the page that I gave them. Dakota comes down the steps with another large package of papers for making calls.

"Everyone, when you finish the song, you're on. Don't make another call until I tell you,"I say out tatty for everyone to hear.

I see people putting their sound down. Bobby and Sammy are chatting quietly about one of them making lunch for everyone. I'm quite proud of the porn twins and Belinda, they look like they have made the most outcry as their stack of papers is much heavy than anyone else.

When everyone ends their current calls, I divide the tabular array in half so some may make hotel yell and others will nominate eatery telephone call. I put the porn Twins and Belinda to begin making eating house calls.

I get a text from Rob. It reads,"devising PROGRESS. MIGHT BE UP IN ABOUT 75-90 MINUTES. STAY TUNED"I smile seeing this reply.

I call Boston Market to purchase order lunch for the telephone call center and Happy limousine and Joseph Black Car Limo.

"Thank you for calling the Pasadena Beantown Market, this is Carol speaking. Will this order be to go or dine in ?"I am told on the phone.

"carol, I want to clear three large orderliness. How quickly can they be ready ?"I ask.

"Well 5-15 sandwiches about 35-40 hour forever 5 sandwiches add 10 more minutes,"she says. I think to myself that it will be dinner time before all the food is cook. carol, that's all I needed to acknowledge, I'll call you another time,"and cling up the phone.

Next, I call El Marco Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 people, how long would it ask and what would be the manner of speaking fee for it going to two different locations. The delightful lady tells me it will take about one minute to have all the lunches made and be on the route for rescue. I place two sets of dejeuner : one is chicken on a salad, the other is three fully loaded beef tacos. The dame gives me a price plus the delivery fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the driver. She asked the address and some other pertinent questions, such as do the buildings have a secure entryway, whom to call if the number one wood can't find a parking spot, and is there anyone who can match the number one wood at the doorway since the orderliness is so orotund. I answer the query and she tells me an orderliness bit. I thank her and go impediment on my phone callers.

Sammy asks if grilled cheeseflower sandwiches and tomato soup would be alright for lunch. I shrug my shoulder and severalise him that it sounds fine.

I walk around and reckon everyone's forward motion. Mom is doing well, she doesn't have as many calls as some of the others, but Fred is more than making up for her lack of progress.

Surprising to me is that the smut twins and Belinda are making immense strides with their outcry list. When they run across an incorrect speech sound identification number, they dial the fax business line to see if that would be answered. If that line isn't answered, they circle the number and hired man the sheet to Dakota for her to track down the correct number.

Everyone is doing a great job. I pull out some cup and fill them with ice weewee for the madam. They take the cupful and booze the water down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to make sure my favorite is drinking enough water.

CHAPTER 2

I get a call from Donna ; she is completely surprise that lunch showed up. I told her that I appreciated all the body of work they were doing and to delight make sure that trick gets at least one dejeuner, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking forethought of the staff.

A few proceedings later I get a yell from Paula thanking me for luncheon for her multitude. I tell her that I appreciate all the hard work that her mathematical group is doing.

The phone calls go on for a couple Thomas More minute. The luncheon that Sammy made was delicious. The telephone set chemical group stopped, and we all enjoyed the solid food, but there were lots of conversations about how multitude reacted to the phone calls.

At the end of the tiffin, Allison came over to me.

"I guess I'm in trouble. Do you want me to move out ?"She says in a defeated manner.

"Why would I want you to move out ?"I ask.

"Because I think that you're mad at me,"she says.

"Should I be mad or is there a fairish explanation for what happened ?"I asked.

"wellspring, it seemed reasonable at the metre, but now that I've had a probability to think about it maybe not,"she says.

"Allison, as I see it, you violated the one matter I asked you to not do. Film any of the family or playgroup and you did that. Do I not take maintenance of you ? Was what I asked to difficult ? I'm at a personnel casualty, please explain how we got to what I found you doing with the CG boys and Aurora,"I say to her.

Her eyes tear up. She's finding it hard to verbalise and hold back the sobbing. I put my arms around her. Yes, I'm annoyed but I just want an explanation.

"Allison, what made you do what I had asked not to have done ?"I ask her again.

"David, I'm so sorry. Aurora came to me asking to have a common soldier celluloid of a fantasy of hers. She brings the two CG son along. The porno twins tell the son and Aurora that they should hit porn together, that it will be fun and exciting,"she starts to say me.

"So how did you correspond to do the filming ?"I ask.

"Aurora kept telling me that she isn't component part of the playgroup, that she is just an old girlfriend. I believed her. I shouldn't have, but I did. I still have the whole matter on the camera. What do you want me to do with it ?"she asks.

"Plug your camera into the certificate organization and take me five DVDs. Once for Aurora, one for each of the CG son, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.

At this point, her eyes are a unbendable flow of binge. I pull the arm of my tee shirt out and wipe her heart. She really looks deplorable, her eyes all puffy, her scent track, and her breathing a bit stutter.

"Allison let's call this a poor typeface of assessment. But delight understand, even if they beg you on their manus and knees you will not film anyone that lives or stays here in the Chateau. I hope you understand what I'm telling you. NO ONE gets filmed, without my OK. My planetary house, my pattern. Got it ?"I ask her. She is barely capable to pass along with me she is crying so profusely.

"Please do me a favour and go get the CG boys,"I ask her to do.

She gets up and others ask what's wrong and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her head word and walks away going to incur the CG boys. I see Dakota watching Allison as she walks away. Dakota knows but so far, she hasn't included herself in this issue.

It takes a few second, but Allison returns with both CG male child. I kiss Allison on the face and tell her to seduce the DVDs that I had asked for. She picks up the camera and plugs it into the security system of rules and calls up the film.

The two CG boys come over to me as if they have no idea what I summoned them for.

"man lets go out to the keep room to chitchat for a couple of instant please,"I turn and walk to the animation way. They follow me.

"Guys, do either of you have any mind why I want to mouth to you two away from everyone else ?"I ask.

"No sir,"

"You have no idea. I find that hard to think. Let me clue you into what I saw that annoyed me. The two of you making porn with daybreak and having Allison celluloid it. Was I not clear, weeks ago when you two came to last with me and the category that no one from our group gets filmed without my OK ? I don't want anyone of the playgroup making porn. That's the type of thing that brings unwanted care to the sign of the zodiac. Was I not clear about that when you two moved in here ?"I ask of them.

"Yes, sir you were realize. We didn't think we were making porn. We thought we were satisfying the fantasy of the Aurora bird. However, she suggested that you might be jealous that we were having fun with her,"One of the guy tells me.

"Gentlemen, I don't care if you fuck her until the skin on your dicks fall off. What I care about is things like that of the people that live here, including you two knucklehead. Why would you two do this ?"I ask.

"Because it sounded like fun. Our girlfriends told us that making porn can be fun and shake up,"the other one tells me.

"Please don't tell me that you're now blaming your actions on the twins,"I say to them.

"No, sir. We're not saying that. We made a small error in opinion and am sorry for it,"

Allison comes over to me and turn over me 5 DVD phonograph recording. I had one each to the CG boy. They sheepishly accept the record.

"What night should we designate it to the theater ?"I ask.

"Um, we would opt you not do that please,"one says to me.

"But why not ? You wouldn't be embarrassed, would you ?"I ask.

"Um, yes sir we probably would be embarrassed,"they tell me.

"I would like you to take this one DVD and hand it to your Uncle Fred. A man who has been loyal and handles himself like a valet de chambre,"I say to them.

One of the boy accepts the DVD but just holds it staring at it. The former boy doesn't even look at the DVD. I know that asking them to kick in one of the DVD to their uncle will embarrass them and him. I hold my hired hand out and ask for the disk back.

The boy holding it exhales as he puts the record in my hand.

"gentleman's gentleman, please don't do this type of thing again without checking with me. If you want to receive Allison plastic film you and whomever, that's alright with me, but not here not on these grounds, got it ?"I say to them in a very stern manner. They both shake their drumhead in agreement and once again apologize.

"Gentlemen, please retrieve you are a guest here and everything you do reflects on your uncle,"I say to them. They both thank me for giving them a second chance.

"Please ask dayspring to come to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.

Both get up and go over to her. She finishes her phone shout up and walks over to me and plump down herself down on the couch.

"Yeah, is there something you need ?"she asks.

"You to pack your stuff and move out of my home,"I say to her. Her heart get with child and I see she is now pissed off.

"Oh, you're jealous of me choosing the two guys to have sex with. I'm an adult. I'm a grown woman and can choose to have sex with or not have sex with anyone I choose,"she tells me.

"break of the day, you are absolutely correct. However, you violated one of my few ruler here. But clearly, you don't caution. So, it's an well-situated selection, you have until tonight to pack your stuff and leave. I'll Call you a cab when you're cook to go,"I tell her in a calm non-threatening voice.

"piece of tail you. I'm done with this shit. Your rules are dullard. I don't live here so they don't pertain to me. You should get that through your thick principal,"she barks at me. I see a duet of the phone group turning to watch. Dakota changes seats to the end of the dining room tabular array, where I usually sit.

I just grinning at her ; this I know really pisses her off. She tries to get under your skin and poke your button to get a reaction out of you, but when you don't react it only infuriates her.

She gets up and storm to the bedchamber that she is staying in. It takes lupus erythematosus than 5 minutes for her to gather her stuff and total stomping back to the aliveness room. Dakota had already called for a cab while she was packing her stuff.

"Your cab will be here in just a few minutes. I'll let you go outside the gate to wait for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to take you back to your own home plate. I hope you have a good life,"I say to her again in a tranquillize manner. She is infuriated now and is stomping around. I open the front door for her and let her walk outside into the courtyard cussing and swearing at me. When she gets to the security gate, I poke the button to give it start opening. When she goes through the partially capable gate, I poke the button again and it begins closing.

I turn around and ask how things are going on the phone calls. I get a sunshine that they have completed all the headphone calls. I tell them that we are through for the day. I missed my speech sound buzzing when I was speaking with the CG son and daybreak. The textbook was from Rob. It read"SYSTEM FIXED. EVERYTHING IS vertebral column UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT UPGRADING thing IN OUR SYSTEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. GOOD night, ROB ”.

I read the text to everyone and the whole room cheers. I tell the pond house gals and the CG boys to head back to their house.

I open the security shutters on the butt but only the undercoat floor.

Sammy and Bobby want to take an 60 minutes off to rest a bit before they make dinner party. I offer to buy dinner for everyone from either Outback or Carrabba's, the room chose Outback. I told them to write down what they wanted to eat, and Dakota will call it in. She looked storm that I assigned this to her to get done. She smiles and blows me a kiss.

I hustle upstairs to the office to let Jill know that the system is back up. She thanks me and gets back to work with BJ. I tell them both that Outback is being ordered and to text Dakota what they want for dinner party.

I kiss Jill and tell apart her she was great. I kiss BJ on the face and narrate her thank you for keeping Jill sane for the day. She smiles at me and distinguish me that I'm welcome.

CHAPTER 3

When the dinner from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the short pitch boy like a shark roofy a swimmer.

I put the food on the dining room table and recite everyone to dig in. nearly of the Lady took some of the Cesar salad but Diane and Dakota took no salad but took a steak each. Dakota texted Jill and BJ that the intellectual nourishment was here, and they need to come down before privy gets home.

I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some quick mathematics to guarantee that we had enough nutrient for everyone, including the ones at the hawk, the call center, and the limo companies. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates things, but she has done a wonderful job at teaching Saint John the Apostle to foresee both issues and fixes.

As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy sort the pages into two haemorrhoid, hotel pile, and eating house pile. I make the decision that we need to have a master listing here at the household for futurity problems.

My phone bombilation, its Agent Longmire.

"Hello Agent, what do I owe this phone call ?"

"Mr. Graham Greene, I'm really glad you didn't open that email. Our techs moved that email into a vacuous calculator and it fried the firmly drive in about 45 secondment. It's a engineering that we haven't seen used in quite a while,"she tells me.

"I'm going to film a guess that you believe that it belongs to that Mexican drug combine. Am I close ?"I ask her.

"WOW, you are pretty goodness. However, you let me get away without discussing the two guy wire you say were Russian types that came to your certificate gate trying to get in. agent Fernandez tells me you can make a DVD of them. If that is true, may I ask you for a party favour to make us a couple of those videodisk please ?"she asks.

"I would be well-chosen to. When will you make out by to blame them up ?"I ask her.

"Um, can't I just beam another federal agent ?"

"No, since you're getting a destitute dinner out of me, you can barricade by and pick them up. We can also discuss when you're available for dinner and where you would care to go,"I tell her.

"Uggggh, you're killing me. OK, how about tomorrow morning, I'll stop by and get the DVD from you and we can discuss your ‘ creation'to this guy,"she says with a bit of a giggle in her voice.

"That sounds fantastic. I look forward to seeing you, broker Longmire. Have a undecomposed nighttime,"I say to her as we end the call.

I decide to dial up Patrick, break of day's boss. In my head, this might be a difficult phone call but I'm ready for virtually anything after today.

"Hello, this is St. Patrick,"he answers the phone.

"Saint Patrick, this is David Greene. Do you have a twain of transactions to talk ?"I ask.

"Um, WOW, did you ever pass water off morning. I've never seen her so mad and boy o boy does she not ingest lady-like words for you. I thought that I was the only one that can piss her off that badly,"he says to me.

"St. Patrick, I have a delicious lady who works as many hours a workweek as you do. I think, at least in my headland, that you two might be well suited for each early. However, if you're in a human relationship, then forget I asked, but if you're not, then my wife and I would like to postulate you two to dinner. We will do the entry. We'll have a Nice dinner and if you and she are interested, you can switch over phone numbers. Jill and I are only offering you dinner and an presentation. Sound like something that you might be bequeath to do ?"I ask.

There's a yearn interruption. Just before I say something Patrick says,"Yeah, that sounds like a nice evening. What kind of restaurant would this be, as I'm not lots for the solid lawsuit affair,"he says to me.

"How about Outback, Carrabba's, or Longhorn's Steakhouse. doe any of those sound OK for you ?"I ask.

"Heck, all of them are grand. How about you and your married woman make the alternative. Just let me know where and when to show up and we're on,"he tells me. However, I have a plan to find fault him up in a limo and her as well, let them take a conversation before we even get to the restaurant.

After I hang up, I go upstairs to chew the fat Jill and BJ. Once again, they are working hard. I'm not sure what they are doing, but they're having word about the ancestry and the spiritual rebirth to a whole new setup. I see Jill looking through paperwork from the SEC regarding conversion of publicly held stock. Jill and BJ are ensuring that they follow the convention for what's planned.

"deary, we are going to be taking two masses out to dinner soon, one of my institution dinners, do you stimulate a preference for where we go to dinner, or should I just set everything up and let you bed after its all set up ?"I ask.

"Just look at care of it, darling. You know I trust you,"she says to me.

I go over and kiss her, but she seems annoyed with me now. I kiss BJ on the cheek and psyche back downstairs. Once there, I hear various voices, everyone from the Hawk has made it domicile. Paula and Donna, along with John have all arrived as well.

Mom and Fred excuse themselves from the group. I think that Mom hasn't worked that severely in a long, long clip and she is just plain worn out. Fred has made her a dinner plate and is carrying it behind her as they head to her bedroom.

"Hey, Mom. Thank you for all the hard work that you and Fred put in today. We couldn't have gotten through it all without your help,"I say before they go into her room. I see her shock me a kiss through the air as they shut the threshold behind them. In my headland, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sort of taking the gran position giving some of the youthful girls'advice and for the sometime one like Paula, she listens when they have enquiry. Mom will have a methamphetamine hydrochloride of wine with some of the ladies, something she is probably enjoying. I make no mention of Bob as she is enjoying life and there is no need to get her emotions all stirred up about being a widow.

I head over to the kitchen, where the group is hanging out. John is eating like a man who hasn't had nutrient in 24-hour interval. offset, he attacked the Gaius Julius Caesar salad, which surprised virtually everyone. From there he took not one, but two sirloin steaks, a expectant baked potato, and some broccoli. He loaded the potato with butter, acetify cream, and Bacon. Then he just sat down at the dining way table and began to eat. He didn't say a watchword about the day, but I am very gallant of him. He probably is the reason the call center went as well as it did. In my head, he is really establish signs of making unspoilt decisiveness and helping everything we have going on.

I sit down in one of the dining way chair, I get kissed from Jennifer, Paula, and Donna as they are picking a chair at the table to eat their Outback dinner. Diane gets her plate and sits down next to John.

I see Allison sitting at the other end of the table. She is eating and not participating in any of the discussions going on. She looks up at me and then backs down at her food. I make myself a plate and go sit by her.

"Interesting day today, eh ?"I ask trying to brighten the mood.

"Jacques Louis David, I'm sorry,"she says right off the bat.

"Hey, we're done with all that. I'm not looking to get rid of you. I see you as voice of the phratry, I hope you know that"I say to her. However, that draws the rent out once again. I still haven't figured out how to have this conversation with her without her sobbing.

I pull my chair right up succeeding to her. I put my arms around her and rend her in tightly to me. I just hold her as she tries to contain the tears. I don't say a word ; I just harbour her. We probably sit there for about 9 or 10 minutes before she has finally gotten control condition of her emotions.

As she lifts her head off my berm, I lean in and kiss her. She responds kissing me as well. I begin to caress the back of her head as we embrace. I hear her purr a bit in my ear, which makes me smile. I lean back and see that she is now smiling a bit, not a big smiling, but a smile none the less. She goes back to eating her dinner party and finally starts participating in our group discussion of the entire day.

As I listen, I hear a family-like effort to overcome the upshot that were presented to us today. I need to spend some time on the phone with Rob, what will it consume to protect our arrangement ? Does it involve new host ? Are there firewalls that can't be broken ? Is there package that will assist protect from an encroachment ? Are there gun trigger for unauthorized multitude ? I have lots of query for Rob, but I want to afford him a few hr of quietus first.

"Jacques Louis David, you need to look at this,"Jennifer says to me.

I get up from my chair and paseo over to the security camera. Once again, we have three multitude standing at our gate shaking it and rattling it trying to get into the courtyard. I poke a button and say into the Speaker,"how-do-you-do, who are you ?"

The three guys, who are speaking in a Spanish people idiom say something that I can't understand."Guys, the police have been called. Please detain where you are until the authorities arrive,"I say to them. This prompts them to take off running. Apparently, they have learned their lesson about driving a car down the Robert William Service road.

"can, go get your gun,"I tell him. It only takes a brace of import before he returns with his pistol. I go to my sleeping accommodation and get my weapon as well.

"Let's go tick the front gate out. I hit the security lights, which lights the courtyard up like a baseball game stadium. I unlock the nominal head room access and Saint John and I step outside. I hear Dakota tell us to be careful. No one is at the gate, but there is something sitting on the land. St. John and I approach it slowly. John gets close to the box, but I warn him that it may be an explosive or something else that will harm him. He tries to attend at the box without touching it.

He tells me he can't recount what is in it and will not try to travel it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their guns on their articulatio coxae. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them deal with it. I agree and pull out my cell phone and telephone dial up 911. I explain to the emergency brake dispatcher what is going on and that three guys of Hispanic backgrounds have left a box at our front gate and we are incertain if it is safe to open or not. The hustler tells me to not touch the box and units should be at the theater in just a couple of minutes.

I back John away from the gate and ask everyone to go back into the business firm. In about three minutes, law have arrived. I step outside and point to the box. They tell me that they are going to suffer the bomb squad come to the mansion and ensure out the box. They want us all to rest inside, which I push everyone back in the house.

It takes the bomb squad about another 20 minutes before they show up. Once they do, it takes them a few more proceedings deploying their automaton. The robot picks up the box and takes it down the service road. Once it is away from everyone, the robot opens the box. Nothing happens. The John Singer Sargent in commission yells at me to derive out to the gate, which I do. Saint John the Apostle follows me acting as my bodyguard.

The Sargent introduces himself. He tells us that the box has a manikin head decorated to look like me. I ask if he's sure that there is no explosive material, the John Singer Sargent tells me that they will take the head back to the police force station and X-ray photograph it and dust it for fingerprint. He also told us that the forensic team will run down the box and check it for the residue of explosive material. I watched as the robot took the box and loaded it into a constabulary van.

I thanked the Sargent for his squad's hard study and asked when I will get a copy of the news report, he told me it would be a dyad of days, but they would induce sure that I got a copy. After about an hour, they packed up all their stuff and left.

As I got inside, Jill came running down telling me she had a unusual email on her computer.

"Don't surface it. I'll call Special broker Fernandez,"I tell her.

I dial up Fernandez. It rings a couple of times before it goes to voicemail. I tell him on voicemail that we have, well Jill has, another one of those e-mail and that we are not opening it or touching it. I ask Jill to sour off her computer and unplug it. She heads back upstairs and does just that. As I begin to worry about this new email, I wonder if maybe I should be using a world use estimator, like the ones they have at the world program library. I'll check mark with Fernandez and ask his opinion.

Jennifer comes over to me, once I was back in the household and hands me an odd-looking envelope. It had my epithet and the theatre address handwritten on it, with no return address and the postage stamp stamp was that of an American Flag, but it was upside down, a signaling of distress.

I took the letter to the kitchen, where I retrieved a astute paring tongue from the butcher block to unfold this letter. Slowly and carefully, I slid the bound of the blade along the edge of the backrest flap. I let the knife cut through the edge of the envelope.

Carefully, I looked at it to see if there was anything that resembled some sort of tripwire. I didn't see any, nor did I feel any. I decided to take the gasbag out back by the syndicate. I figured if there is some sort of volatile material, I can toss it into the weewee. As I pulled the sides of the envelope apart, I see that there is a piece of report inside the envelope folded in a tri-fold manner. I gently pull the paper out of the envelope, setting the gasbag down on the pool deck.

Looking carefully at the bit of trifold paper, I began to open it. On the face of the newspaper publisher is Logos that are obviously cut out from powder store and glued on the paper. I read the notation. It says,"We asked you nicely the first clock time to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a moment clip, and again you refused. Now, someone close to you, that is important to you will die before the end of the hebdomad. Maybe that will get you to pay. Trouble is coming and coming soon"

I sit and stare at this letter. I'm not sure how to respond. Trying not to affect the missive, I fold it back up and put it back into the envelope.

I set the missive down on the table at the end of the support way couch. I dial up Fernandez, it goes to voicemail. I hang up and dial him again, and again it goes to voice mail. I decide to dial up Agent Longmire.

"how-do-you-do, this is Agent Longmire. Who is calling ?"She asks.

"Agent Longmire, this is David Graham Greene. I'm calling because we have received an odd letter that is telling me that someone close to me will die before the end of the week,"I say to her.

"have you touched the varsity letter ?"

"Yes, I held onto the border of the envelope and used a paring knife to open the envelope. Once it was open, I carefully pulled the alphabetic character out, trying not to touch the composition but I'm sure that I did. I'm really not sure what I should do about this,"I tell her.

"Mr. Graham Greene, that is OK. Please put the envelope into a Ziploc bag without touching it again. Use a couple of tweezers to pick it up,"she says to me.

"Yes Ma'am, so you'll be here in the morning to get it from us ?"I ask.

"Oh no, I'm coming right now. I should be there in about 20 minutes, if that's OK with you,"Agent Longmire says to me.

"Of course, it's OK. Inferno, it could be 4 am and it would be OK,"I say to her. She thanks me and hangs up.

I head over to the security system of rules in the kitchen. I make the system go back to midnight and ready a DVD of the movement logic gate from midnight until about 5 min ago. I know that there is something there for the FBI to pursue.

My mind immediately goes to Dakota or Jill as the aim. I gather the entire family back in the TV room to discuss this new threat.

CHAPTER 4

Once I have everyone in the TV room, I begin to order everyone what we know so far and what the FBI and local police are doing.

"right field now, we have a threatening varsity letter claiming that because I didn't pay the extortion money that they asked, someone close to me will die before the end of the hebdomad. I'm not sure as shooting if this alphabetic character is credible or not, but all of you know that we just replaced all the windows because of the shooting back at the FBI political party. federal agent Longmire is on her way over here to collect the missive, the envelope, and a DVD of our certificate television camera for the past 24 hours,"I tell everyone.

I see the fear in the heart of my household. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's vocalism behind me asking me a question,"David, didn't you mention that you had 4 guys from the closed book Service bequeath to be your bodyguards and Jill's ? Maybe you need to rent them. I would also suggest that no one drives to work alone. We should probably couple up and those who have a pack permit should start carrying their weapon for guard,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a whole cluster of sense.

"Fred, that is a good estimation. Does anyone else have any estimation about how we can retain every one of the family safe ?"I ask the room.

Jennifer speaks first,"Maybe those of us who work at the Sami place, such as the war hawk should all ride in one vehicle, say John's motortruck or my truck. Both trucks have tinted window, so coming out of the garage, it would be difficult for the bad guys to see who is in the fomite,"she says.

Paula adds,"We could also schedule a limousine or two to come to the star sign as if it is picking up soul from the family, when in fact it isn't getting anyone."

Dakota joins the conversation,"I think you need to have your new PR somebody announce to the spiritualist that individual is trying to shake you down by threatening you. harbinger that both the FBI and the local anaesthetic police are involved

"We probably should change our routines of when we leave and return to the sign,"Donna says.

"I like all of these mind. Let me just say that this threat against one of you makes me worry. You all know that you mean the world to me and I don't want to risk even one aliveness in this house. I just don't know what the proper move it to protect you,"I say to the room.

"David, we're not kid. We are a kinsfolk and will follow each other's binding until we know for sure all is safe,"John says to me. I know he's justly, but I'm not willing to run a risk anyone. My mind begins to wonder if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut tells me ‘ HELL NO ’, which is the path I'm taking now.

I hear my phone buzzing. I walk over to it and answer it.

"howdy, this is David,"I say into my phone.

"You should sustain paid senor. Now you are down one of your group. Pay up or you'll be down another,"the somebody on the other end of the phone call says to me in a Latino accent.

I scan the elbow room trying to cypher out who I'm missing. The guy said that I'm down one, who is not here ?

Dakota, Jill, Amy, Jennifer, Donna, BJ, Danni, Diane, Allison, Paula, and Sharon are all here for the ladies.

"Someone go out to the puddle home and arrest on the ladies and Fred's nephews,"I say to the room. Gospel According to John hops up and heads outside to the pond house.

"Jill, cry Ronda. make sure as shooting she is OK,"I say to Jill.

She picks up her phone and begins dialing. Ronda answers on the inaugural doughnut. Jill chats with her and updates her on what's going on. She says she hasn't seen anyone following her or watching her. She did ask Jill when she gets to drag my ass into bed again. Jill giggled and asked,"Do you intend about sex all the time ?"

"Of grade, what else do you think of my dear ?"Ronda asked giggling.

They wish each early pleasantries and end the claim. Jill tells me that everything is OK with Ronda. I exhale a bit.

whoremaster comes back into the house telling me that all three ladies are in the pocket billiards menage and both of Fred's nephews are there as well.

Now I'm confused. Who are they talking about ? Or are they even being truthful, maybe they are just trying to rattle my cage ? Either way, I put in another call to limited Agent Fernandez. Again, it goes ripe to voicemail.

My earphone rings, it's factor Longmire. I know she's here to pick up the missive. I check the logic gate photographic camera and see her car. I poke the release to open the gate, she pulls in and I poke the necessity button to close it right behind her. I wait for her to come to the front threshold.

"federal agent Longmire, nice to see you, delight come inside,"I say to her.

"Do you experience this letter ?"She asks.

"Yes, and I have another computer yield. This time it's on my married woman's computer. We shut it off and am set up to give you the hard ride tower to take with you. I'm not sure what we should be doing, we still live by the computer and we need to be able-bodied to access our system. Any suggestions ?"I ask the agent.

"Well, you'll get your laptop back tomorrow. We installed a program that will give you another horizontal surface of certificate. However, we also have installed a gun trigger precaution. If you receive anything from the sources of that final stage e-mail, our program will move whatever was sent into a break file and reassign it to our IT radical,"she says to me. This melodic theme makes me grin. I know that they could look at what my oeuvre is like, but I don't think that is what they are after. They probably have a listing of where the email was sent from and their program will continually search for anything from them again.

Jill goes upstairs to the office to wreak down her computer tower to hand it off to Agent Longmire. While Jill is upstairs, I get the envelope and carefully mitt it to Longmire. She puts on a twain of synthetic rubber gloves and puts the envelope in an grounds bag and seals it up putting her initials on the front.

She asks about why whoremonger is wearing a firearm. I explain that about of my radical have carry permits and since it seems as if we are under besieging, we are trying to protect ourselves. She doesn't say anything to my point.

I do ask her when she is devoid for the get together dinner."You mean you still want to go through with this even though you feel your kin is in peril ?"She asks.

"Of track. I'm not going to hide for the relaxation of my life here in the mansion. They might get me to change my routine for a day or two at the most, but that's all. Now, when are you available for dinner ?"I persist.

Longmire pulls out her personal cellphone phone to look at her calendar. She gives me several days that she thinks will work. I grab my phone and put these days in the bank note section of my phone and mark it on the calendar. Looking at the days she gave me I pick one and ask her if she is OK with that day. She thinks about it for a import or two, then agrees to the day.

"Great, I'll send a car to nibble you up and take you to dinner,"I tell her.

"Mr. Greene, you don't need to ship a car for me. I'm perfectly able-bodied to drive myself,"she tells me. However, I'm not backing down from my introduction dinner plan.

"Look, I own a limo company, just grinning and say yes,"I say to her smiling myself.

"OK, Mr. Greene, you are persistent, aren't you ? Yes, sending a car to pick me up would be ok. However, I think you want to have me in a limousine, so I don't try to provide early,"she says to me smiling.

"Yeah, that's it. I don't want you trying to run away before the dinner,"I laugh a little as I agree with her.

Jill comes down from the office carrying the tower. Agent Longmire, still wearing the synthetic rubber gloves takes the tower. I also handwriting her a DVD of the last 24 60 minutes of our battlefront gate. She puts the DVD in her sack. I ask John to hold the computer tug to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. trick takes the tug from her and follows her to her car, where he put the tower on the floor of the back seat.

As she circles the court to exit, I open the front gate for her. Once she is past the gate, I hit the buttons to close it again.

Jill turns and takes a rear end at the dining elbow room mesa. I guess taking her information processing system tower put her at a standstill.

"beloved, should we go out and buy a new information processing system for each of us, or can you take a Nox off ?"I ask her.

"I'll carry a night off. BJ and I certainly could use it,"she says. Jill makes herself another plate of nutrient from the leftover Outback repast. It was dainty to see both Dakota and Diane decide to experience a small plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice urine. This is the initiatory matter that has made me smile tonight.

I guess seeing the three ladies having some salad, I decided to join them. I encouraged anyone who was occupy to have themselves some salad, as it is something that really doesn't keep very well. Steaks and chicken keep just mulct as do baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.

As it gets into the eve, it seems a bit odd that my married woman and BJ are out among the eternal sleep of us. They both seem happy and chipper to not be doing the work they have been slaving over the retiring few nights. BJ is busy chatting with Danni. Jill is chatting with Dakota, Diane, and many of the ladies. I still sit next to Allison. I want her to read that I'm not wanting to get rid of her and judging by her actions throughout dinner, I think my message has sunk in.

Mom and Fred come back out for a match of minutes, as they heard Agent Longmire leave-taking and were interested in what the Federal Reserve had to say. I updated them and they seemed to find like matter were OK at the Chateau. Fred looked around for one of Sammy's great desserts. Thankfully, he still had a couple of his skillful cakes in the big fridge in the big kitchen. He went there with lavatory only steps behind him bequeath to ‘ help'Sammy. Of course, John took control of the double chocolate cake to express it back to the dining room. Sammy brought his strawberry cream vanilla bar.

When John Lackland came to the kitchen with the drinking chocolate cake, various of the ladies made their way over to him to get a slicing of the bar. whoremaster was the man and just stepped aside letting the ladies have first shot at the patty. Diane asked can to get her a fade of the strawberry patty. When he gave her a plate with a slice on it, Diane took a bite and moaned as if she was having an climax. She truly enjoyed the slice that can gave her.

After all the gentlewoman who wanted a slice of the umber cake got one, St. John the Apostle cut himself a larger slice and slid it onto a plate.

Just as I was about to conciliate for a slice of the strawberry cake, Sammy appeared with a big container of homemade drinking chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie was about the size of a drink coaster. I took 4 cookies and poured myself a spyglass of milk. Just as I was about to sit down, I saw that Jill was taking the last bite of her salad. I got up and got her a slice of the chocolate cake, knowing that she really likes burnt umber cake. I also put three cookies on the plate. Since I had the milk still out of the fridge, I poured her a cup of milk as well.

Having the slices of patty seemed to help assuage the situation that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent john out to the puddle sign of the zodiac to offer them piece of strawberry cake, they declined but thanked him for the offering.

As Jill finished up eating her patty, she got up and took me by the hand to go with her to our bedroom. I heard a couple of razzing and whistles as Jill shook her ass at everyone, much like Dakota does with me. We went into our bedroom and shut the door behind us. There we stayed and played for the rest of the night. We made passionate beloved for several 60 minutes and then again in the exhibitioner cleaning the sex off us. It was so nice to feel the arms and body of my darling wife.

quiescence together with my married woman after a couple of hr of loving sex was delightful, of course, us taking a long hot shower together didn't hurt things either.
