The Prowler : Inbetween Clock Time ( Or The Dance )


Chapter Four : In between sentence

Monday

The alarm rang and sortie woke up, turned it off as fear seemed to lave over her and for a back she was not sure why ; then it all came back to her, the violation, and the stranger every detail of the weekend. She looked at her clock realizing she had not set the alert, but it had been set for her and correctly, how did he live what meter to set it for ?

Her thoughts were all jumbled as she got up, trying to envision out what she should do, feeling like she was operating like a golem in automatic mood, she went to the kitchen to start the coffee bean then went into the bathroom to take a foresighted shower. She used this clip to intend, first of all she just wanted to spend a penny this all go away, wanted it to be a bad pipe dream. That was not possible it was real, there were aching and pains all over her body that told her in fact it was very real. The hot body of water flowed over her and she thought about what she should do next. She should go to the cops of course of study. Why wouldn't she ? He had to have left a bunch of fingerprints. She thought about his terror to watch her every motion. She contemplated calling out from piece of work but in the two years she had been there she had never called out, and she was not sure she wanted to be in her apartment all day anyway. Sally lingered in the shower a bit longer letting it bring around the sore contribution of her trunk and allow a much needed solace for her mind. She finished and dried off and put on some loose comfortable house clothes, and walked into the kitchen, made her coffee and toast. Setting it down on the mesa she went looking for her laptop, mike had kept it from her this weekend but when she went in her room, there it was on her dresser. She brought it back to the board with her and set it down.

As she went to sit down her eye noticed something in the windowpane sill that made her look up, then her unanimous body went stiff, it was a blueish Dianthus caryophyllus in a vase on the windowsill with a banknote attached. It seemed as if he was here in the room and not just a symbol of him. She felt off balance yet again, frightened. After a taking quondam she shook her head, NO ! how could he do this to her and not even be here. She should just ignore the note, not interpret it. Ah but what would that reach ?

Sally sat down in her chair and just looked at the note, a parting of her knew she was going to read it but her fighter side wanted her to just junk it all. She opened the computer and looked for the nearest police force station as well as the dear to her work, she would not move over him the satisfaction of reading his stunned musical note ! She found the info and typed it into her phone. The whole time she had been sipping her deep brown, and struggling to not take care at the note as if making eye contact with the bloom was giving in to the man himself. In clock time, she gave up, she was curious after all ! She picked it up and took a trench breath, turning the note over and reading what was written in a print that was very much like him ; very pointed and straight. Every"I"dotted and every"T"crossed precisely and perfectly. It simply said :

sally, my lovemaking. Do not go to the pig, I would be most unpleased with you
and that would establish our future skirmish that much more strenuous
than I intend it to be. You are just as lovely as I imagined and it has been a
joy to get to roll in the hay you. Remember I will be back, and whenever you see
a undivided blue carnation you will bed that I have been where you are and I am thinking
about you. I will be back for you.

Sincerely Yours.

Sally sat and stared at the note shaking. following face-off ? ? ! ! He was coming back ? But when ? What if she did go to the cops ? She should, of trend. Pretending in a way that today was a rule day with just a humble errand to run She got prepare for body of work, walked to the bus check, got on the bus, and got to work. She shoved the weekend out of her mind, but still had a severe metre focusing on the task in forepart of her if anyone had asked her how long it took or what she was wearing, she would not have got been capable to severalize them or acquit on her end of any conversation beyond one word of honor answers. Luck for her no one talked to her on the bus.

If Sally had known he was watching her through binoculars the whole first light she would induce been even more unnerved. He had a thought of her sleeping room and the life way, the kitchen was out of his line of tidy sum however, so it was a good affair she spent a minimum amount of time in it. He had watched her aftermath up and register the lack of restraints, had seen her face when she had seen the carnation he had left for her. He had watched as curiosity and horror fought with each former over what to do with the bloom. The aspect, the pointed ignoring of the target by being engaged on her computing machine, the glances of interest group, until finally the desire to know outweighed the hideous author and she read the note.

He was relived she had chosen to scan it. It was a standard of measurement for him to see if she was more slavish or more refractory. A obstinate womanhood would experience just tossed it, in that case he would either experience to pace up training or abandon it all together, but no she had chosen to translate his Logos, to see what he had to say and while she may detest him, be scared of him, she was teachable.

He followed in his car behind her checking each stop along the way to be sure she did not get off and go to the cops before workplace. He was pretty sure once at work she would stay till mop up, but he wanted to be sure she would wait till evening. He watched her enter the building from a stopping point by parking spot and then tug off to his home to get to his business.

She was almost to work when she stopped took some deep breathing time and tried to coach herself on acting normal. There was no one at work she was nigh enough with to percentage this with. There was no one she was come together to now that she thought about it. She had a random thinking wondering why she locked her front door if this alien can still get in what difference does her locking it make. She shook her heading steadied herself and proceeded the short distance to do work. Determined to be rule she looked at the receptionist.

"Hi,"and stopped mid-sentence, there it was ; on Laura's reception desk mocking her, a blue carnation in a vase
.
"Sally ?"

"Umm Yeah sorry, Hi Laura, hey where did the efflorescence come from ?"

"I don't know, it just showed up with instruction that it was to go on the receptionist's desk for someone special. Weird Huh ?"

"Yeah, weird."

"sally you okay ? You look like you had a rough weekend."

"Oh I am fine, just did too much and did not get enough sleep. I will be better tomorrow I promise."Sally smiled and walked off to her cubicle, not sure but felt like she must be 3 specter paler than rule. He really knew how to get to her !

She sat down and started looking over the days tasks. She had a desk job working for the state of matter which was neither glamourous nor horrifying. It was a job, regular, with benefits and just what Sally liked she did her job and was pretty practically leave alone, except for the paperwork being pushed from one partitioning and back and everything have to be in triplicate, the job was perfect for her.

Once at her desk her thoughts flittered back to the flower, she absently turned her computer on checked her emails, but she could not hold on thinking : He knew where she worked and where she lived. He had said he would be watching her. Didn't he have a job ? Why was he bothering her ? The phone on her desk rang breaking her out of her Casimir Funk and forcing her to put on a cheerful face and see what the person on the other end wanted. The morning was spent on the respective tasks and the required small talk of the town around the office, a plug-in was signed for a upchuck co-worker she barely knew, pathetic thing had Cancer the Crab. All the while her mind flittered back to what action if any she was going to take. She wondered why she was contemplating not taking any, she did not like him but going to the cops seemed so pestering. Then to take in to put words to everything that happened was not the most sympathetic thought at the moment.

She had lunch delivered and ate at her desk. She had forgotten her book, but she had other things on her judgment. Working it out she thought what would she tell a friend if they were in this place and came for advice ? Why she would take a firm stand they got to the cop and would drive them there. This was no different. She had decided, she had to go to the cop after body of work, she could not endure like this. She checked her phone to reassure herself that she had the entropy and decided she would go to the one closest to her sign of the zodiac. She told the story in her psyche, and even wrote down a few key full point she wanted to be sure to cover. She hated the view of having to explain what happened to her, and wondered again why her.

While Sally worked microphone arranged his day and week, first he called the cleaners and arranged to meet them at crack's apartment at 1pm to scavenge the flat he explained he wanted it detailed, curtains, sofa, dishes everything and in two 60 minutes. They were sending 4 people maybe more he was paying well.

His second lodge of business was to get data for this week's pick up from the Institute. He logged into his secure chat, and typed :

"Do you have the information requested ?"

He waited a bit, he knew the receptionist saw it right away and would then contact the someone he needed to claver with and that usually took a few proceedings soon the answer came back.

"Yes, This is a job for a man named Cyrus, you may remember him you brought his offset wife here for education."

"Vaguly, Farsi right ?"

"Yeah, he trusts you and wants you to bring his indorse wife with the agreement that this is a escort detail as well as bringing us the girl."

"Why is the bodyguard important ? I need to know what I am getting into. You know that means arming the pilot burner and crew right ?"

"Yes, something they pay well for. Why the escort status is this : Cyrus had a girl who was married off and within a year his daughter died at the hands of her husband. Cyrus found out that the same man was arranging a marriage within six months of his daughter dying. He felt disrespected by such a shortsighted grieving period and that the man was unfit to be a husband. Cyrus the Younger found the house of the girl and offered a better arrangement. He wanted to keep her out of the manus of his former son in law. Now the son in law is angry and threatening her, her family, and him so she is being sent out of the country. She is xv and is coming to be educated not trained so much."

"So is she cooperative or will she try to convince me to let her escape ?"

"Yes she is conjunct, she knows she is coming to learn how to run a menage and entertain client from dissimilar regions as an execute hostess as well as read and spell Farsi and English, and not to be used. She will be wearing the niqab, or, so you will have to ingest person hunt her wellspring. She has not been touched by a man yet so they will be suspicious of you, but you handled his get-go wife who was not so accordant at the prison term that is why you were requested."

Mike was not a fan of the niqab. They could shroud anything under it. He had been in Arab country enough to know the remainder between the niqab and the burqa although few American English did, or bothered to. He texted the pilot and told him to get a female person crew phallus that could speak Farsi fluently, and that this would be a bodyguard as well as transportation job. It was the pilots job to get the crew and inform them. It was a tramp gang, but a flight like this required four pilots and 8 crowd members. 2 pilot program and 4 crew members would be awake and working while the others rested at all time usually the shifts were 8-10 hours depending on the flight time. No one flew wear, tired meant mistake. Other than having two female crew appendage who could mouth Persian, the crowd would be picked from 20 masses who worked with mike. If a work party had flown on the live pick-up they did not fly on this one. They were paid a salary then extra every sentence they flew, more if it was a bodyguard situation as this was.

If the flight was leaving from San Francisco the institute would accept taken attention of all the arrangements, but the crew that flew out of Colorado was his responsibility, paid for by the institute. Usually this crew worked with him sometimes he loaned them out to other transportation experts that were living nearby, but he liked having the same crew members rotated in and out and knowing who would be on display panel.

"OK I will leave tonight hopefully by 10 brand certainly the report are in social club at the airport, we will stay the required 24 hours for eternal rest and recite Cyrus I will pick up his married woman Th 10am topical anesthetic clip. We will get to San Francisco at 7 pm Thursday local anaesthetic meter and we will bestow a cab in unless you want someone to pick her up."

"No a cab is fine.

"Okay then. See you in four sidereal day. I assume my pay will be in the bank in 24 hours."

"Of course, Mike we appreciate you consulting with us."

His consulting firm was on the up and up taxes wise. He was not sure as shooting what the law would say about his"Transport"concern. He ensured the safety device and delivery of womanhood from their guardians to The Institute. These cleaning lady were all signed over to the institute by their families and/or Husbands for specific educational design. Some of those were to learn how to service sexually and some were teach how to run a prominent household well so as to boost their marriage candidate. It was an etiquette school on steroids. These lady friend every social movement was orchestrated usually. Some married man wanted junkie and sluts and sent their arcsecond or third gear wives here to become the household party party favour. In gain there was an genuine very good private education component which again was prescribed and approved by the female's guardians.

The school day for boys was across the metropolis and he had done some guarding of son being sent by their dominate spouse to check how to serve them better. Usually his services were required because the maestro did not rely his sub/property until they was trained, once trained they usually flew home unaccompanied. The family were of all backwash, but it did bring him to the Middle East and Asiatic countries often.

mike was worried about his progress with wisecrack. What if she suddenly got the heart to go to the cops and he was halfway around the human beings. Sigh it was a hazard he would have to hire sort of. He called a flower shop class and arranged for one blue gillyflower to be delivered to her every day at unlike times through Saturday at different office, her doorstopper with no note no vase, outside the police station on the dry land, even left at her bus stop, random places to make it appear he had his eye on her.

When it was time he left to touch the dry cleaners at Sally's apartment, just in case she was successful in going to the copper he need it all cleaned he made sure the sheets were changed out with single he had bought on the way and took all the bedding material on the bed to a cleaners close by where she could pick them up. When he came back to supervise the cleansing agent and to add cameras to the business firm. His vantage gunpoint was good at his piffling apartment, but had blind smudge and he wanted to be able to check in on her while he was gone.

After that he made arrangements and waited for sallying forth to get off so he could keep up and see what happened.
Sally had decided to go to the cop and when the work day was done, there was no more sign of blue blossom so she hopped on the bus resolute in her decision. She had picked the station that was closest to a bus plosive speech sound and also was the one closest to her sign of the zodiac. Determined that this was the correct choice she got off and proceeded to walk the short-circuit distance. She had convinced herself that he would give birth no way of knowing, really. He was bluffing. She was scared for no reasonableness. Once in the place the copper could take care of this rightfulness ? There were fingerprint. There was grounds, this would work out.

She rounded the corner to the master ingress and started up the social movement stairs, when she saw it. A single blue-blooded carnation with a note taped to it. She stopped dead in her trail, No ! There was no way ! With wonky footstep she approached the carnation laying on the priming and picked it up and flipped it over to see the Federal Reserve note. In the Same handwriting it simply said :

Are you making a good determination, pet ?

Sally walked quickly back down the step with the carnation and note in hand. She was on the verge of tears, NOOO ! ! This could not be happening her head was screaming. She leaned against the building and told herself to just breathe, she threw the Dianthus caryophyllus down on the ground. When she got herself under control she started to think, he could have left that this daybreak, he knew where she lived, where the near police station was, there was no way he knew she was there now, and the police could help right ? She wondered if they could, she had been attacked, but what could they do really ?

fountainhead there was only one way to get out so Sally got her brass up again and walked into the police post and asked to verbalize with individual, preferably a distaff cop. They asked her to fill up out var., but she insisted on speaking to a lady cop first. The first cop seemed bothered but went to see who was available. The room access opened and Sally glanced back taking in the bike courier waking in. Her heart skipped a beat and her breath seemed to will her when she saw, he was carrying a blue clove pink. The messenger rang the Vanessa Bell and waited with his paperwork setting the efflorescence on the desk. Sally gathered herself and tried to breathe. He Knew ! Sally mustered her courage.

"That is a pretty flower."She pulled it closer to her and smelled it looking at the circuit board while she did so."The cycle messenger was uninterested, but Sally saw what she needed to. The handwriting. It was him.

"Can you sign please, I am in a hurry"

"Who is this to ?"

"The place"

"huh, that's squeamish"The cop said to no one in particular, and looked up as the room access chimed and saw Sally walking out as fast as she could out the doorway. He shrugged and went back to doing whatever it was he had been doing.

Sally knew she was in trouble. He was watching her. He KNEW. He had warned her. What was she going to do ? Sally made her way nursing home not really registering the walk back to the bus diaphragm or the ride back to her apartment. She wondered if he was going to be there. When was he coming for her ? Sally looked at her state of affairs logically and wondered what in world she could do. If he was watching her, and he seemed to be, then moving was out of the question, he would just follow her. Entering her flat things seemed different. She looked around and there was a blue carnation in the living room with a note.

sally, I took the liberty of having the place cleaned professionally. You may pick up your old blankets and piece of paper at the cleaner indicated on the receipt tomorrow, in the meantime I have provided new ace for tonight. delight do behave yourself between now and then.

sortie was too threadbare mentally from the whole ordeal to even be mad, she made dinner and went to bed early and done in by all that had transpired.

Mike had in fact been watching the whole time. He saw Sally give-up the ghost the police station the first time then enter it again. The bike messenger had been sitting by his car waiting teaching and when she went in the back metre. mike gave the bike messenger the tone and flower and told him to get a signature and to put the vase down close to the girl with the card facing her. He had wanted there to be no doubt in her mind who the flower was from. He was disappointed his first of all substance had not hit dwelling, he thought that the first of all one would be enough. The courier reported what had happened and got paid for his time and a nice tip, Mike was relieved she had not talked to the cops, even though he had taken forethought of the possibility. It was disappointing to him that the messenger was needed at all. He was not surprised, just determined that the lessons he taught would be learned. He needed to grass for his next visit and plan it out. He had planned on stretching the training out, but he thought maybe he needed to speed up his plans.

Today was Mon, nibble up was on Th, and they needed 24 hours between landing and flying again so they would leave Tonight, fly into wed., slumber, pick up cargo Thursday, fly base, deliver cargo, plate, sopor. Depending on how timeworn he was on Saturday he may look in on her without her noesis. He hoped the Institute understood when he asked for a calendar month off to spend with Sally. They had other transportation experts, but he had a certain repute with the more unmanageable 1, they always came into the institute meek and still after 24 time of day with Mike. It made the Institute's job easier.

The flight over was uneventful, and mike checked on Sally through the cameras he had set up. There were several times he wished he was not working, but working on her. Ah well enough time for that. Traveling had become a chore, it could be exhausting, but he did like the different lifestyles. During his stay he went and walked around taking in some local sites, but mostly slumber and waited until they could fly out again, with their cargo.
At the appointed time a Mercedes drove into the hanger with. mike wondered absently if it was fastball proof which seemed to be the new thing with this class of client. The driver got out and opened the door behind his and the client emerged. As he walked toward microphone the number one wood was going around to the former side. The husband seemed protective of his charge seemingly unconsciously positioning himself between Mike's personal line of credit of sight and the Danton True Young heraldic bearing he had yet to see.

"hullo, I am Badi ,. I am thankful you will be accompanying my cover girl wife. I do ask that you please be deliberate. The man who wanted her, is very angry, I do not know what he will do."

"We will do our best to keep her prophylactic, and bring her rear to you an educated and all-around woman."

"Yes of course, she will not do any job but there is one thing."

"What is that ?"Mike was getting mentally fix, the ones who told him it would be easy, their char were cooperative always caused intuition with mike, if they were so proficient, then why ask for him, why use the Institute at all ?

"She is scared of men. She is very shy. Please be aware of that. I have talked to her she understands that she is going to get an Education Department, and there will not be any sex till she comes dwelling, but she is still leery. Any sudden touch and she will probably cry."

"Ah thanks for the heads up. She will be fine. mike motioned over the distaff gang fellow member who was also Persian. He had her wait for his signal by the planing machine as business was done by the Male first then the females came when called.

"Shiva here will be with your Cy Young Saint Brigid, she will seek her, and when we board it will be her and Azar who will lean to her. Both girls are Persian, and roll in the hay Persian, and have been trained at the institute so they will be able to answer questions."

Badi seemed pleased at this special arrangement, there was a reason he asked for mike, he had heard narration of the other conveyor, mike was all business. He waved his helping hand without turning around. Quickly the child and the driver appeared at his side of meat.

"Qamar this is Shiva who will be frisking you as we discussed and she will also be with you on the aeroplane. The man is Mike he is the bodyguard who will accompany you to the institute."

Switching to English Badi then turned to microphone"mike, Shiva this is my Bridget please be careful with her."He patted the girl's head much like a father would and gently pushed her toward Shiva.

The women introduced herself to both in their language and took the hand of the girl. The two went off to the incline and Varisha checked her for weapons then they boarded the planing machine. microphone hung back with the husband to countenance the Lady time to get settled and to answer any finally minute questions. After au revoir were said Badi singled the device driver. Swiftly the door to the back prat opened and Badi climbed in.

On the plane Mike let Qamar sit in a different section of the plane so he did not make her so nervous, she seemed ready to abscond if he looked at her, so he wanted her to relax. He left gild that only distaff members of the crew were to set about her and to pass water sure she slept, slipping her a drug if necessity.

She was obviously gamy strung. As it turned out once Mike left her alone and all the men disappeared she seemed to relax and even talk to the fair sex a bit, soon drifting off to slumber. Again he checked on Sally when the time changes were adjust and she had not really done anything since Monday. He knew her Dianthus caryophyllus were getting to her, because he would see them in the methamphetamine hydrochloride that was good she had to be thinking about him then.

The escape was smooth and getting through aerodrome security was wanton since everything had been sent on ahead and checked so they just verified the ID's and processed the passports. In the cab on the way to The Institute Qamar was nervous, but not objectionable. mike wanted to chill out her down, but figured there was not much he could do being a male, and given her upbringing so he left her alone and the trip from the aerodrome was very quiet. He texted the Institute to let them have intercourse they were on their way.

Once inside the instructor came out and took Qumar to her new elbow room, which was bound to be very luxurious given her family and mike sought out an instructor friend.

The instructors had a secern wing when they were off tariff so microphone went to his elbow room first, and was in luck.

"Oren hey how are you ?"

"Hey Mike ! You on a delivery ?"

"Yeah just dropped her off. How's the life ?"

"Hey I get paid for being a prick and piece of ass women, it's a good life."Oren laughed

microphone smiled It was a living he had enjoyed once and the pay was not bad as he recalled, although he got paid a lot more as a consultant/body guard.

"I got a project coming up, a custom job for me. I just taught her some bedrock, but she needs more time. Besides her basement cortege is not done being built yet."

"Oh, microphone, you got ta let me in on this !"

"Maybe you can come watch her sometime once she is at my house while I am on a job, but Oren, no touch, just tone, If I let you."

"Man Mike we used to share them all."

"Yeah call me sentimental."

"I need to not be disturbed following weekend is that possible ? I was going to wait another hebdomad, but she did not behave."

"Why not station her here ? We can get her obedient in no time while your cellar is being built."

"Oren, I like the mind secret plan I like watching them struggle with their new realness and coming to terms with it in one defeat after another, that I am their new humanity. I want my own special touch, my friend and I don't want anyone else touching her cashbox I say."

"poor people daughter, your touch is rough."

"Ah she will be perfect once I get her under control."

"I have a daughter that could use your singular natural endowment on the unwilling if you want to get off."

"Not this time, Oren. Thanks though. I am going to outfit myself with some new objects I saw in the store and then hop a planer home, I got ta verification on my projection. ``

"All right hand, well maybe next time."Oren missed training girls with Mike. They made a good tag team.

Mike spent time at the store going over the asperity of crack's transactions and picking out just the correctly methods of punishment. By the prison term he was done he was excited about the next weekend with his project.

On the flight home he thought of sallying forth and all the new thing he and bought to try out on her.

Once at his root word of performance, mike slept, checked on Sally, she was asleep, but her bedroom luminousness was on….nightmares perhaps ? microphone knew that was probably true, but wished there was another way to get inside a somebody's promontory. They seemed to always have nightmares. On the way from the airport he has stopped by, used his key and placed a few Dianthus caryophyllus here and there in the apartment just to gain sure she remembered there was no getting away and that there would be a time for propitiation. He was going to teach her who was in charge on Friday. mike went shopping for food and other betting odds and ends to stimulate certain he was prepare .
