CHAPTER 1

Before Dakota came down from the office, Amy came scuffling out of her bedroom. Apparently, she was up tardy watching flick. 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 pup because this was not something that we had discussed as a means of security.

She asked if she could go take a warm shower and then serve on the earpiece. I sent her to get that shower as I would need a wide-awake Amy.

Jill was pacing back and Forth River. I couldn't tell if she was worried or if she was thinking about her following move. BJ was pretty much her phantom. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the next dance step for them might be.

The back up door opened and the seven from the studio apartment and the pool firm filed in. Allison wouldn't look 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 practiced as both boys kept looking at the ground. dawn sat nervously at the kitchen table, not really looking at me. The smut twins went upstairs to the elbow room that they had chosen to put their stuff and nonsense down and came back down to the kitchen.

While citizenry were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big stack of report. She set them on the kitchen table and headed back upstairs. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree locations were printed out, each positioning listed the address, the unit number, the earphone, and fax turn as well as the stream full general coach's name. I flipped through the stack 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 pages then the following 10 and so on.

"If I hand anyone placement that are westward of the Mississippi, please set them aside and proceed on. Look at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to make you a unlike set of 10 pages,"I tell the group.

One of the CG boy had pageboy for Arkansas, I took those back and handed him the side by side 10. I decided to embrace what should be said,"OK, everyone here's what I would care you to say to the contact social unit. ‘ hi Mr. Ian Douglas Smith, I'm Saint David from Jaxson, Inc. base office. We're aware that you currently have no computer system of rules. We've had a technical glitch and our IT section is working hard on fixing the issue as quickly as potential. When the system is restored you will experience a substance that says our system is back on-line. Until you receive this message please own your hoi polloi stay off our system. Do you have any questions at this point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your assistance,"Then you should hang up up and move on to the next unit.

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

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

"Absolutely ! That is great of you guys,"I tell the two chefs. I see both CG boy 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 nada has happened. I'll address this subject when thing are much more settled down. The porn twins and Belinda seem excited to participate as they have note diggings, pen and their cellular telephone sound plugged into the paries to go on them charged.

My phone bombination. It's federal agent Heidi Longmire.

"how-do-you-do Mr. Greene, this is Agent Longmire. I believe you spoke with Special agent Fernandez and he let you eff that I would be coming by to blame up your laptop computer. Please see me you have not opened that email,"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 service road right now,"she says.

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

I head to the security measure camera in the kitchen to watch until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the requisite clit to open the logic gate. I watch her commit the car into the court and I poke the buttons to close the gate immediately after she pulls in.

I pick up the laptop computer and office electric cord and walk of life over by the forepart doorway. As I wait for her to descend to the door, I hear my group making phone call option 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 federal agent Longmire,"she says.

"Please show 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 doorway the rest of the way and let her come inside.

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

"I have my citizenry calling each unit Orient of the Mississippi to let them do it that we have a computer issue and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the General Managers to preserve their hoi polloi off the system until service is restored. Right now, we are working on the hotel division, but as soon as we have more contact information printed out I'll split the grouping one-half working on the hotel division and half on the restaurant face,"I tell her. She sees the laptop but before I hand it over to her I ask my question,"factor, are you matrimonial or in a family relationship ?"

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

"Not to me, it's not. I saw you running matter when we had the shooting of your agents here. Captain Perez showed up and you turned the investigating over to him. I asked exceptional broker Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a punishing worker and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to ask round you to dinner to meet someone who works just as heavy as you do. He owns his own job and, in my head, I think the two of you would be compatible. However, let me be crystallize, I'm not matchmaking, I'm just doing initiation. If nothing happens then that's fine, but if you work as toilsome as I think you work then maybe having someone to talk about oeuvre to might be of stake to you. If not, well then you got a Nice dinner party out of it. Have I scared you off ?"I ask her.

"Um, well……. I guess it's alright. I do work a lot and really have no fourth dimension to go looking for mortal to rely for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the topical anaesthetic pub to clean up someone that I can't fit out ahead of clock time. Yeah, I'll be glad to go to dinner with whomever. One humble note, I'm allergic to bell black pepper. Doesn't topic the color just Alexander Graham Bell peppers in oecumenical. Here's my scorecard, let me publish my personal cell phone phone number on the back as I don't want to get in difficulty for using the government agency cell telephone set for personal business organization,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her identification number on the back.

"Thank you, Agent. Here's the laptop computer,"I say as I hand her the computer. She puts the laptop computer into an evidence bag and seal of approval it. I open the front door for her and out she goes. I go back to the security scheme and poke the buttons to open the logic gate and look out her leave.

I call Donna.

"Donna, how are things going ?"

"Well, David I'm glad you gave me King John. He's been a big help calming hoi polloi down that are here. He is also taking vociferation escalations and handling frantic customers. He's sorting the manual of arms qualification into 27 pile, one for each state and one slew for capital of the United States DC. I form of spirit useless he's doing so much for the call center,"Donna tells me.

"fountainhead, then we made a right 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 calls as well,"I tell her. She laughs a bit, but I can tell it's a unquiet laugh.

"I'll touch stem with you later, keep open working. Oh, one Sir Thomas More thing how many people do you have working ?"

"Right now, 75, but in about 90 mo the indorsement geological fault arrives and that will take us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"

"I just wanted to keep tab on how practically helper you have there since you are doing matter manually. If you feel you need more than people, then call 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.

"howdy Paula, how goes the limo business enterprise ?"

"Really slow. The system is virtually down so we are taking reserve for limos manually. We're explaining that we have a system topic but not to worry as our IT section 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 job doing ok manually.

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

I end my call with Paula and walk over to Amy and gently take in the phone from her.

"Hello, this is David Greene. Whom am I speaking to ?"I ask.

"This is Mark reading material. I'm a district manager for a Pinetree district in Dallas. What the hell is going on with our system ?"

"Mr. Reading, we have a prominent topic with our information processing system system for every information processing system east of the Magnolia State. Did Amy not tell you that we have a figurer issue and that the IT section is working on the issue ?"I ask him in an pissed off voice.

"wellspring, I can't do my job with no information processing system. I need to look at yesterday's numbers 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 secernate me when you go home,"I say to this territory manager.

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

"well, since we are having outlet, you may need to remain a bit longer tonight,"I tell him rather than burst forth on him as we are quite vulnerable.

I hear a yearn suspension before I get an answer,"OK, I guess I can quell since its only one night,"he tells me.

"Well thank you. I'll be in touch sometime over the next few 24-hour interval,"I say to him. In my head, I don't empathize how the territory managers think it is OK to go base at 3:30 pm. After we get through this major military issue, I'm going to rattle a few Cage to remind them that since they are on salary, they must work a minimum of 45 hours a week. As I count, this territory manager is working a sum of 6 hours a day times 5 twenty-four hour period and that comes to 30 time of day. He's a broad 15 hours brusque and being paid for 45 but only working 30. That is going to transfer rather quickly. I have my plan B ready for my unannounced visit back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the same proceeds and need to look at management files, but with the FBI having my laptop, that will have to wait a bit.

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

I let my headphone sit for a bit as I plug it into the charger in the kitchen. I see citizenry making big tread with the pages that I gave them. Dakota comes down the tone with another bombastic software package of written document for making margin call.

"Everyone, when you finish the outcry, you're on. Don't make another shout until I tell you,"I say out brassy 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 Gemini the Twins and Belinda, they look like they have made the most claim as their stack of papers is much larger than anyone else.

When everyone ends their current vociferation, I divide the table in half so some may lay down hotel vociferation and others will make up restaurant calls. I put the porno twins and Belinda to begin making eating place calls.

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

I call Boston Market to fiat lunch for the birdsong centre of attention and Happy Limo and pitch blackness Car Limo.

"Thank you for calling the Pasadena Boston market place, this is carol speaking. Will this order be to go or dine in ?"I am told on the phone.

"Carol, I want to make three large orders. How quickly can they be quick ?"I ask.

"well 5-15 sandwiches about 35-40 mo forever 5 sandwiches add 10 more minutes,"she says. I think to myself that it will be dinner party clock time before all the food is make. Carol, that's all I needed to know, I'll call you another fourth dimension,"and hang up the phone.

Next, I call El Marco Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 people, how long would it take and what would be the delivery fee for it going to two different localisation. The delightful madam tells me it will accept about one hour to cause all the lunches made and be on the road for delivery. I place two sets of lunches : one is chicken on a salad, the former is three fully loaded gripe tacos. The peeress gives me a toll plus the delivery fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the number one wood. She asked the destination and some other pertinent enquiry, such as do the buildings have a secure entryway, whom to call if the device driver can't find oneself a parking spot, and is there anyone who can assemble the driver at the threshold since the purchase order is so turgid. I answer the questions and she tells me an social club number. I thank her and go deterrent on my headphone callers.

Sammy asks if grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup would be alright for lunch. I shrug my shoulders and tell him that it sounds fine.

I walk around and look at 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 erotica Gemini the Twins and Belinda are making huge strides with their birdsong tilt. When they run across an incorrect earpiece number, they dial the fax line to see if that would be answered. If that line isn't answered, they circle the number and manus the sheet to Dakota for her to track down the correct number.

Everyone is doing a not bad job. I pull out some loving cup and meet them with ice H2O for the ladies. They take the loving cup and imbibe the water down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to cause sure my darling is drinking plenty 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 certainly that John gets at least one lunch, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking tending of the staff.

A few minutes later I get a call from Paula thanking me for lunch for her masses. I tell her that I appreciate all the hard piece of work that her group is doing.

The phone calls go on for a couple more hr. The lunch that Sammy made was toothsome. The earphone group stopped, and we all enjoyed the food, but there were lots of conversations about how people 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 travel out ?"She says in a foiled manner.

"Why would I need 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 fair explanation for what happened ?"I asked.

"Well, it seemed fairish at the fourth dimension, but now that I've had a chance to think about it maybe not,"she says.

"Allison, as I see it, you violated the one thing I asked you to not do. Film any of the kin or playgroup and you did that. Do I not bring care of you ? Was what I asked to difficult ? I'm at a going, please explain how we got to what I found you doing with the CG boys and first light,"I say to her.

Her middle tear up. She's finding it hard to speak and hold back the sobbing. I put my blazon 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 possess a private moving picture of a fantasy of hers. She brings the two CG male child along. The porn twin tell the male child and daybreak that they should earn porn together, that it will be fun and wind up,"she starts to tell me.

"So how did you agree to do the motion-picture photography ?"I ask.

"Aurora kept telling me that she isn't 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 unanimous thing on the camera. What do you want me to do with it ?"she asks.

"Plug your camera into the security system and fix me five videodisc. Once for aurora, one for each of the CG boy, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.

At this spot, her eyes are a steady stream of tears. I pull the sleeve of my tee shirt out and wipe her centre. She really looks pitiful, her heart all puffy, her nose running, and her breathing a bit stutter.

"Allison let's outcry this a inadequate case of sagacity. But please understand, even if they beg you on their hands and stifle you will not film anyone that lives or stays here in the Chateau. I hope you understand what I'm apprisal you. NO ONE gets filmed, without my OK. My menage, my rules. Got it ?"I ask her. She is barely able to put across with me she is crying so profusely.

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

She gets up and others ask what's awry and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her drumhead and walks away going to detect 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 minutes, but Allison returns with both CG boys. I kiss Allison on the buttock and tell her to work the DVDs that I had asked for. She picks up the camera and plugs it into the surety organization and calls up the film.

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

"Gentlemen lets go out to the living room to chat for a pair of minutes please,"I turn and walk to the living way. They follow me.

"guy, do either of you have any thought why I want to verbalise to you two away from everyone else ?"I ask.

"No sir,"

"You have no idea. I find that tough to believe. Let me clue you into what I saw that annoyed me. The two of you making porn with Aurora and having Allison film it. Was I not clear, weeks ago when you two came to exist with me and the family that no one from our group gets filmed without my OK ? I don't want anyone of the playgroup making smut. That's the type of affair that brings unwanted attention to the sign. Was I not clear about that when you two moved in here ?"I ask of them.

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

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

"Because it sounded like fun. Our girl told us that making porno can be fun and wind up,"the other one tells me.

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

"No, sir. We're not saying that. We made a lowly wrongdoing in mind and am sorry for it,"

Allison comes over to me and hands me 5 DVD phonograph recording. I had one each to the CG son. They sheepishly accept the disk.

"What night should we indicate it to the house ?"I ask.

"Um, we would choose you not do that delight,"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 care you to postulate this one DVD and hand it to your Uncle Fred. A man who has been loyal and handles himself like a valet,"I say to them.

One of the boys accepts the DVD but just holds it staring at it. The other boy doesn't even look at the DVD. I know that asking them to pay one of the videodisk to their uncle will embarrass them and him. I hold my hand out and ask for the phonograph recording back.

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

"Gentlemen, delight don't do this type of thing again without checking with me. If you want to have Allison film you and whomever, that's mulct with me, but not here not on these grounds, got it ?"I say to them in a very stern style. They both shake their straits in agreement and once again apologize.

"Gentlemen, delight commemorate you are a client 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 Aurora to come to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.

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

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

"You to pack your stuff and impress out of my planetary house,"I say to her. Her centre get large and I see she is now pissed off.

"Oh, you're jealous of me choosing the two guy wire to hold sex with. I'm an adult. I'm a mature adult female and can choose to cause sex with or not have sex with anyone I choose,"she tells me.

"Aurora, you are absolutely correct. However, you violated one of my few rules here. But clearly, you don't care. So, it's an soft alternative, you have until tonight to backpack your stuff and leave. I'll birdcall you a cab when you're ready to go,"I tell her in a calm non-threatening voice.

"ass you. I'm done with this dickhead. Your convention are stupid. I don't live here so they don't pertain to me. You should get that through your midst head,"she barks at me. I see a couple of the telephone set mathematical group turning to watch. Dakota modification seats to the end of the dining room table, where I usually sit.

I just smile at her ; this I know really pisses her off. She tries to get under your hide and dig your button to get a chemical reaction out of you, but when you don't oppose it only infuriates her.

She gets up and storms to the bedroom that she is staying in. It takes less than 5 transactions for her to cumulate her stuff and come up stomping back to the living 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 logic gate to expect for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to take you back to your own place. I hope you have a beneficial life,"I say to her again in a quiet fashion. She is furious now and is stomping around. I open the forepart door for her and let her walk outside into the courtyard cussing and expletive at me. When she gets to the security gate, I poke the clit to accept it part opening. When she goes through the partially spread out gate, I poke the clit again and it begins closing.

I turn around and ask how affair are going on the telephone set calls. I get a cheerfulness that they have completed all the phone calls. I tell them that we are through for the day. I missed my sound buzzing when I was speaking with the CG son and Aurora. The school text was from Rob. It read"SYSTEM FIXED. EVERYTHING IS BACK UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT UPGRADING THINGS IN OUR system of rules TO PREVENT THIS FROM occurrence AGAIN. GOOD night, ROB ”.

I read the text to everyone and the whole way cheers. I tell the pool menage gals and the CG boys to head back to their house.

I open the security measure shutters on the bum but only the ground floor.

Sammy and Bobby want to take an 60 minutes off to rest a bit before they make dinner. I offer to buy dinner party 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 surprise 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 be intimate 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.

I kiss Jill and tell her she was great. I kiss BJ on the cheek and assure her thank you for keeping Jill sane for the day. She smiles at me and tells me that I'm welcome.

CHAPTER 3

When the dinner from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the poor delivery boy like a shark rophy a swimmer.

I put the intellectual nourishment on the dining room table and enjoin everyone to dig in. Most of the ladies 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 food was here, and they need to come down before whoremonger gets home.

I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some fast maths to ensure that we had plenty food for everyone, including the ones at the hawk, the call nerve centre, and the limousine companies. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates things, but she has done a wonderful job at teaching trick to anticipate both consequence and fixes.

As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy sort the pages into two wad, hotel pile, and restaurant nap. I make the conclusion that we need to experience a lord listing here at the house for future tense problems.

My earphone bombilation, its agentive role Longmire.

"Hello agentive role, what do I owe this earphone call ?"

"Mr. Graham Greene, I'm really glad you didn't surface that email. Our technical school moved that email into a blank computer and it fried the hard drive in about 45 secondment. It's a technology that we haven't seen used in quite a spell,"she tells me.

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

"WOW, you are pretty respectable. However, you let me get away without discussing the two guy rope you say were Russian character that came to your security measures gate trying to get in. agent Fernandez tells me you can make a DVD of them. If that is admittedly, may I ask you for a favor to get us a twosome of those videodisk please ?"she asks.

"I would be well-chosen to. When will you come up by to foot them up ?"I ask her.

"Um, can't I just send another agent ?"

"No, since you're getting a free people dinner party out of me, you can stop 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 period by and get the videodisc from you and we can talk about your ‘ launching'to this guy,"she says with a bit of a giggle in her voice.

"That sounds wonderful. I look forward to seeing you, Agent Longmire. Have a dependable night,"I say to her as we end the call.

I decide to dial up Patrick, Aurora's foreman. In my head, this might be a difficult telephone claim but I'm ready for virtually anything after today.

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

"Patrick, this is David Greene. Do you sustain a couple of minutes to blab ?"I ask.

"Um, WOW, did you ever spend a penny off Aurora. I've never seen her so mad and boy o boy does she not take lady-like words for you. I thought that I was the only one that can wee her off that badly,"he says to me.

"Patrick, I have a delightful lady who works as many hours a week as you do. I think, at to the lowest degree in my head, that you two might be well suited for each former. However, if you're in a relationship, then forget I asked, but if you're not, then my wife and I would wish to take you two to dinner. We will do the introductions. We'll have a decent dinner and if you and she are interest, you can replace phone numeral. Jill and I are only offering you dinner and an intro. strait like something that you might be willing 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 much for the whole suit affair,"he says to me.

"How about Outback, Carrabba's, or Texas longhorn's steakhouse. Department of Energy any of those healthy OK for you ?"I ask.

"Heck, all of them are wonderful. How about you and your wife make the choice. Just let me know where and when to present up and we're on,"he tells me. However, I have a plan to pick him up in a limo and her as well, let them induce a conversation before we even get to the eatery.

After I hang up, I go upstairs to travel to Jill and BJ. Once again, they are working hard. I'm not sure what they are doing, but they're having discourse about the stock and the conversion to a whole new frame-up. I see Jill looking through paperwork from the SEC regarding transition of publicly held farm animal. Jill and BJ are ensuring that they follow the normal for what's planned.

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

"Just necessitate fear 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 impertinence and head back downstairs. Once there, I hear respective interpreter, everyone from the hawk has made it home. 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 arduous in a long, foresighted 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 concentrated 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 blast me a kiss through the air as they shut the door behind them. In my brain, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sort of taking the grandmother position giving some of the younger daughter'advice and for the senior one like Paula, she listens when they have questions. Mom will have a glass of wine-coloured with some of the madam, something she is probably enjoying. I make no mention of Bob as she is enjoying life-time and there is no want to get her emotions all stirred up about being a widow.

I head over to the kitchen, where the group is hanging out. can is eating like a man who hasn't had food in mean solar day. First, he attacked the Sid Caesar salad, which surprised virtually everyone. From there he took not one, but two sirloin steaks, a enceinte baked murphy, and some broccoli. He loaded the murphy with butter, sour cream, and bacon. Then he just sat down at the dining room tabular array and began to eat. He didn't say a news about the day, but I am very proud of him. He probably is the cause the call center went as well as it did. In my nous, he is really usher star sign of making upright decisions and helping everything we have going on.

I sit down in one of the dining room chairs, I get kissed from Jennifer, Paula, and Donna as they are picking a professorship at the table to eat their Outback dinner. Diane gets her plateful and sits down side by side to John.

I see Allison sitting at the early 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 for thought. I make myself a plateful and go sit by her.

"Interesting day today, eh ?"I ask trying to buoy up 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 part of the kin, I hope you know that"I say to her. However, that draws the tears 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 next to her. I put my arms around her and pull her in tightly to me. I just view as her as she tries to contain the weeping. I don't say a intelligence ; I just hold her. We probably sit there for about 9 or 10 minutes before she has finally gotten control of her emotions.

As she lifts her school principal off my shoulder, I lean in and osculate her. She responds kissing me as well. I begin to fondle 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 smile, but a grin none the LE. She goes back to eating her dinner party and finally starts participating in our chemical group discussion of the total day.

As I listen, I hear a family-like effort to sweep over the consequence that were presented to us today. I need to spend some fourth dimension on the earpiece with Rob, what will it exact to protect our system ? Does it require new host ? Are there firewalls that can't be broken ? Is there software that will help protect from an invasion ? Are there trigger for unauthorized mass ? I have scores of interrogative sentence for Rob, but I want to render him a few time of day of sleep first.

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

I get up from my chairperson and walk over to the security system television camera. Once again, we have three people standing at our gate shaking it and rattling it trying to get into the court. I poke a button and say into the speaker unit,"Hello, who are you ?"

The three guy cable, who are speaking in a Spanish people dialect say something that I can't understand."guy cable, the law have been called. Please stay where you are until the federal agency arrive,"I say to them. This prompts them to convey off running. Apparently, they have learned their lesson about driving a car down the military service road.

"John, go get your gun,"I tell him. It only takes a twosome of second before he returns with his pistol. I go to my bedroom and get my weapon as well.

"Let's go tick the presence gate out. I hit the security Inner Light, which lights the courtyard up like a baseball game bowl. I unlock the front door 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 ground. King 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 look at the box without touching it.

He tells me he can't assure what is in it and will not try to move it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their guns on their hips. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them deal with it. I agree and pull out my mobile phone speech sound and telephone dial up 911. I explain to the emergency brake dispatcher what is going on and that three guys of Hispanic backdrop have left a box at our front gate and we are diffident if it is prophylactic to open up or not. The operator tells me to not tinct the box and units should be at the house in just a couple of minute.

I back Gospel According to John away from the gate and ask everyone to go back into the theatre. In about three minutes, police have arrived. I step outside and percentage point to the box. They tell me that they are going to have the turkey squad come to the house and match out the box. They want us all to stay inside, which I push everyone back in the house.

It takes the bomb squad about another 20 bit before they show up. Once they do, it takes them a few more mo deploying their robot. The golem picks up the box and takes it down the service road. Once it is away from everyone, the robot opens the box. naught happens. The Sargent in charge cry at me to fare out to the gate, which I do. Saint John follows me acting as my bodyguard.

The Sargent introduces himself. He tells us that the box has a mannequin header decorated to appear like me. I ask if he's surely that there is no volatile textile, the John Singer Sargent tells me that they will consider the headland back to the constabulary station and x-ray it and dust it for fingerprint. He also told us that the forensic team will scan the box and ascertain it for the residue of explosive cloth. I watched as the robot took the box and loaded it into a police van.

I thanked the John Singer Sargent for his squad's hard oeuvre and asked when I will get a written matter of the report, he told me it would be a couplet of days, but they would work sure that I got a written matter. 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 strange email on her computer.

"Don't give it. I'll call Special Agent Fernandez,"I tell her.

I dial up Fernandez. It rings a distich of prison term before it goes to voicemail. I tell him on voice mail that we have, well Jill has, another one of those emails and that we are not opening it or touching it. I ask Jill to turn off her reckoner and unplug it. She heads back upstair and does just that. As I begin to vex about this new e-mail, I wonder if maybe I should be using a public use computer, like the 1 they have at the public program library. I'll verification with Fernandez and ask his opinion.

Jennifer comes over to me, once I was back in the house and hands me an odd-looking gasbag. It had my name and the theater address handwritten on it, with no paying back speech and the postage stamp seal was that of an American Flag, but it was upside down, a foretoken of distress.

I took the missive to the kitchen, where I retrieved a sharp paring knife from the butcher blockage to open this letter. Slowly and carefully, I slid the edge of the steel along the boundary of the backwards flap. I let the tongue 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 finger any. I decided to take the envelope out back by the pocket billiards. I figured if there is some form of volatile material, I can toss it into the weewee. As I pulled the incline of the envelope apart, I see that there is a piece of theme inside the gasbag folded in a tri-fold manner. I gently pull the paper out of the envelope, setting the gasbag down on the pool deck.

look carefully at the slice of trifold paper, I began to spread it. On the face of the paper is words that are obviously cut out from magazines and glued on the report. I read the note. It says,"We asked you nicely the first time to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a second time, and again you refused. Now, someone close to you, that is crucial to you will die before the end of the hebdomad. Maybe that will get you to pay. problem is coming and coming soon"

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

I set the alphabetic character down on the table at the end of the living room couch. I dial up Fernandez, it goes to voicemail. I hang up and dial him again, and again it goes to sound mail. I decide to dial up Agent Longmire.

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

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

"wealthy person you touched the varsity letter ?"

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

"Mr. Henry Graham Greene, that is OK. Please put the gasbag into a Ziploc bag without touching it again. Use a twain 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 proceedings, if that's OK with you,"Agent Longmire says to me.

"Of course of action, it's OK. infernal region, it could be 4 am and it would be OK,"I say to her. She thanks me and hang up.

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

My judgment immediately goes to Dakota or Jill as the mark. I gather the entire mob back in the TV room to discourse this new threat.

CHAPTER 4

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

"Right now, we have a threatening varsity letter claiming that because I didn't pay the extortion money that they asked, somebody close to me will die before the end of the workweek. I'm not certain if this missive is believable or not, but all of you know that we just replaced all the windowpane because of the shooting back at the FBI party. Agent Longmire is on her way over here to amass the letter, the gasbag, and a DVD of our security camera for the past 24 minute,"I tell everyone.

I see the concern in the eyes of my family. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's voice behind me asking me a dubiousness,"David, didn't you mention that you had 4 guys from the Secret servicing willing to be your bodyguards and Jill's ? Maybe you need to hire them. I would also indicate that no one drives to work alone. We should probably pair up and those who have a carry permit should start carrying their weapon system for base hit,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a unanimous clustering of sense.

"Fred, that is a good idea. Does anyone else have any approximation about how we can hold on every one of the class safe ?"I ask the room.

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

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

Dakota joins the conversation,"I think you need to have your new PR person announce to the media that someone is trying to shake up you down by threatening you. foretell that both the FBI and the local police are involved

"We probably should alter our act of when we leave and return to the family,"Donna says.

"I like all of these musical theme. Let me just say that this menace 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 life 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 children. We are a household and will watch each other's backs until we know for trusted all is safe,"John Lackland says to me. I know he's right, but I'm not willing to chance anyone. My mind begins to wonder if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut Tell me ‘ HELL NO ’, which is the path I'm taking now.

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

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

"You should have paid senor. Now you are down one of your radical. Pay up or you'll be down another,"the person on the other end of the phone birdcall says to me in a Hispanic accent.

I scan the way trying to estimate 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 pool plate and see on the ladies and Fred's nephews,"I say to the elbow room. lavatory hops up and straits outside to the pool house.

"Jill, call Ronda. Make sure she is OK,"I say to Jill.

She picks up her sound and begins dialing. Ronda answer on the first annulus. 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 haul my ass into bed again. Jill giggled and asked,"Do you conceive about sex all the time ?"

"Of grade, what else do you call back of my beloved ?"Ronda asked giggling.

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

John comes back into the house telling me that all three ladies are in the pool sign of the zodiac 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 John Cage ? Either way, I put in another shout to peculiar Agent Fernandez. Again, it goes right to voicemail.

My phone rings, it's Agent Longmire. I know she's here to piece up the missive. I check the gate television camera and see her car. I poke the button to unfold the gate, she pulls in and I poke the requisite release to fill up it right behind her. I wait for her to come to the nominal head room access.

"Agent Longmire, nice to see you, please come inside,"I say to her.

"Do you bear this letter ?"She asks.

"Yes, and I have another computer issue. This time it's on my wife's computing device. We shut it off and am ready to give you the hard drive tower to guide with you. I'm not sure what we should be doing, we still live by the computer and we need to be able to access our system. Any proffer ?"I ask the agent.

"Well, you'll get your laptop back tomorrow. We installed a program that will break you another level of security. However, we also have installed a initiation sentry go. If you receive anything from the sources of that last email, our computer programme will make a motion whatever was sent into a separate file cabinet and channel it to our IT chemical group,"she says to me. This melodic theme makes me smile. 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 list of where the email was sent from and their program will continually explore for anything from them again.

Jill goes upstairs to the power to wreak down her computer tug to hand it off to factor Longmire. While Jill is upstairs, I get the envelope and carefully hand it to Longmire. She puts on a pair of rubber eraser mitt and puts the envelope in an grounds bag and Navy SEAL it up putting her initials on the front.

She asks about why King John is wearing a small-arm. I explain that most of my chemical group have carry license and since it seems as if we are under beleaguering, we are trying to protect ourselves. She doesn't say anything to my point.

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

"Of grade. I'm not going to hide for the rest of my life here in the house. They might get me to modify 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 cell phone to look at her calendar. She gives me several days that she thinks will form. I grab my telephone and put these years in the musical note section of my phone and mark it on the calendar. Looking at the solar day 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 find fault you up and institute you to dinner,"I tell her.

"Mr. Henry Graham Greene, you don't need to send a car for me. I'm perfectly able to take myself,"she tells me. However, I'm not backing down from my introduction dinner plan.

"expression, I own a limo troupe, just grin 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 amercement. However, I think you want to have me in a limo, so I don't try to exit 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 lilliputian as I agree with her.

Jill comes down from the office carrying the tower. agentive role Longmire, still wearing the gum elastic gloves takes the tug. I also hand her a DVD of the hold up 24 60 minutes of our presence gate. She puts the DVD in her pocket. I ask can to stockpile the computer tower to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. John takes the tugboat from her and follows her to her car, where he put the tower on the level of the back seat.

As she circles the courtyard to expire, I open the front gate for her. Once she is past the gate, I hit the button to close down it again.

Jill turns and takes a seat at the dining room table. I guess taking her computer towboat put her at a standstill.

"dearest, should we go out and buy a new computer for each of us, or can you take a night off ?"I ask her.

"I'll select a Nox off. BJ and I certainly could use it,"she says. Jill makes herself another home plate of food from the leftover Outback repast. It was nice to see both Dakota and Diane decide to have a small photographic plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice water. This is the beginning thing that has made me smile tonight.

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

As it gets into the even, it seems a bit odd that my wife and BJ are out among the residual of us. They both seem happy and chipper to not be doing the work they have been slaving over the past few nights. BJ is officious chatting with Danni. Jill is chatting with Dakota, Diane, and many of the lady. I still sit next to Allison. I want her to infer 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 duo of minutes, as they heard Agent Longmire leave and were interested in what the Federal had to say. I updated them and they seemed to feel like things were OK at the Chateau. Fred looked around for one of Sammy's great desserts. Thankfully, he still had a duo of his nice cakes in the big fridge in the big kitchen. He went there with toilet only steps behind him willing to ‘ aid'Sammy. Of course, John took ascendency of the image chocolate cake to convey it back to the dining room. Sammy brought his strawberry cream vanilla bar.

When Gospel According to John came to the kitchen with the burnt umber patty, various of the ladies made their way over to him to get a slice of the bar. John was the gentleman and just stepped aside letting the ladies have first shooting at the cake. Diane asked John to get her a slash of the hemangioma simplex patty. When he gave her a collection plate with a slice on it, Diane took a bit and moaned as if she was having an orgasm. She truly enjoyed the slice that John gave her.

After all the ladies who wanted a slice of the chocolate bar got one, King John cut himself a larger slice and slid it onto a plate.

Just as I was about to settle for a slice of the strawberry cake, Sammy appeared with a big container of homemade hot chocolate chip cooky. Each biscuit was about the size of a drink coaster. I took 4 cookies and poured myself a field glass of milk. Just as I was about to sit down, I saw that Jill was taking the utmost bite of her salad. I got up and got her a cut of the deep brown cake, knowing that she really likes chocolate bar. I also put three cookies on the denture. Since I had the milk still out of the fridge, I poured her a cup of Milk River as well.

Having the slices of cake seemed to serve relieve the situation that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent can out to the pool house to volunteer them slices of strawberry mark cake, they declined but thanked him for the offering.

As Jill finished up eating her cake, she got up and took me by the hand to go with her to our sleeping accommodation. I heard a twain of hoot and whistles as Jill shook her ass at everyone, much like Dakota does with me. We went into our bedroom and shut the doorway behind us. There we stayed and played for the rest of the Nox. We made passionate making love for several 60 minutes and then again in the shower cleaning the sex off us. It was so nice to finger the arm and body of my darling married woman.

dormancy together with my wife after a couple of hours of loving sex was delicious, of form, us taking a longsighted hot shower together didn't hurt thing either.
