CHAPTER 1

Before Dakota came down from the office, Amy came scuffling out of her bedroom. Apparently, she was up late observance moving-picture show. 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 take a flying shower and then help on the earpiece. I sent her to get that shower as I would require a wide-awake Amy.

Jill was pacing back and forth. I couldn't Tell if she was worried or if she was thinking about her adjacent movement. BJ was pretty much her tincture. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the next step for them might be.

The back doorway opened and the seven from the studio and the pool house filed in. Allison wouldn't expression at me. I directed everyone to put their stuff in the bedchamber 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 stuff down and came back down to the kitchen.

While people were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big stack of papers. She set them on the kitchen board and headed back upstairs. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree locations were printed out, each location listed the address, the unit number, the phone, and fax phone number as well as the current General director's name. I flipped through the slew and took off about 10 Page and began handing them out.

Since it didn't really weigh what locations you ended up with, I just took the top 10 Thomas Nelson Page then the adjacent 10 and so on.

"If I hand anyone placement that are west of the Mississippi, please set them aside and proceed on. wait at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to make you a different set of 10 Sir Frederick Handley Page,"I tell the group.

One of the CG boys had pages for Arkansas, I took those backwards and handed him the next 10. I decided to cover what should be said,"OK, everyone here's what I would like you to say to the contact lens unit. ‘ Hello Mr. Bessie Smith, I'm David from Jaxson, Inc. family business office. We're aware that you currently have no information processing system system. We've had a proficient glitch and our IT department is working hard on fixing the issue as quickly as potential. When the system is restored you will incur a message that says our system is back online. Until you receive this message please suffer your mass stay off our system. Do you have any head at this point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your assistance,"Then you should hang up and move on to the next unit.

"Energy Department anyone own any questions about what they are supposed to be doing ?"I ask.

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

"Absolutely ! That is great of you guys,"I tell the two chefs. I see both CG boys 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 occur. Aurora is just sitting there with her ten pages acting as zilch has happened. I'll address this upshot when things are much more settled down. The smut twins and Belinda seem excited to participate as they have note inking pad, penitentiary and their cellular phone headphone plugged into the wall to hold back them charged.

My phone bombination. It's Agent Heidi Longmire.

"hullo Mr. Greene, this is Agent Longmire. I believe you spoke with special broker Fernandez and he let you sleep with that I would be coming by to piece up your laptop. Please see to it me you have not opened that e-mail,"she says to me.

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

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

"OK, then I'll wait until I see your car and then unfold the gate,"I say.

I head to the security system camera in the kitchen to watch until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the essential buttons to open the gate. I watch her pluck the car into the court and I poke the buttons to come together the gate immediately after she pulls in.

I pick up the laptop and force cord and walk over by the front door. As I wait for her to get to the threshold, I hear my grouping making phone call option and almost repeating the speech communication exactly that I gave them to say.

There is a smash at the door.

"Who is it ?"I ask.

"It's Agent Longmire,"she says.

"Please prove me your certificate,"I say to her.

I open the door just a few in and see her holding her FBI ID. I open the door the rest of the way and let her make out inside.

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

"I have my people calling each unit of measurement eastern United States of the Mississippi to let them know that we have a computer upshot and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the general managing director to keep open their citizenry off the scheme 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 mathematical group half working on the hotel air division and one-half on the eating place side,"I tell her. She sees the laptop computer but before I script it over to her I ask my interrogative sentence,"agentive role, are you get married 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 things when we had the shooting of your agents here. police captain Perez showed up and you turned the investigation over to him. I asked extra agentive role Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a gruelling doer and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to receive you to dinner to meet somebody who works just as punishing as you do. He owns his own business sector 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 initiation. If null happens then that's fine, but if you work as hard as I think you work then maybe having someone to talk about study 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 work a lot and really have no meter to go looking for someone to entrust for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the topical anesthetic pub to pick up mortal that I can't check off out ahead of time. Yeah, I'll be felicitous to go to dinner with whomever. One small note, I'm allergic to bell peppers. Doesn't matter the color just gong capsicum pepper plant in general. Here's my carte, let me write my personal cell sound routine on the backbone as I don't want to get in worry for using the delegacy cellular telephone earpiece for personal commercial enterprise,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her phone number on the back.

"Thank you, agent. Here's the laptop,"I say as I hand her the figurer. She puts the laptop into an evidence bag and SEAL it. I open the front door for her and out she goes. I go back to the security system of rules and poke the buttons to open the gate and view her leave.

I call Donna.

"Donna, how are matter going ?"

"wellspring, David I'm sword lily you gave me John. He's been a big assistant calming multitude 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 state and one pile for Capital DC. I sort of smell useless he's doing so much for the call center,"Donna tells me.

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

"I'll pertain base with you later, keep working. Oh, one Sir Thomas More thing how many people do you ingest working ?"

"Right now, 75, but in about 90 minutes the sec shimmy arrives and that will submit us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"

"I just wanted to maintain tabloid on how much help you have there since you are doing thing manually. If you feel you need Sir Thomas More hoi polloi, then squall them in. We'll workplace 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 organisation ?"

"Really retard. The system is virtually down so we are taking reservation for limos manually. We're explaining that we have a system issue but not to interest as our IT department is working on it as fast as potential. So far everyone seems OK with that explanation,"she tells me. I exhale a bit, as we have two line doing ok manually.

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

I end my call with Paula and pass over to Amy and gently take the earpiece from her.

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

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

"Mr. Reading, we have a large issue with our computer system for every computer due east of the Mississippi. Did Amy not recount you that we have a computer result and that the IT department is working on the exit ?"I ask him in an annoyed voice.

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

"Please severalise me when you go home,"I say to this territorial dominion manager.

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

"fountainhead, since we are having issues, you may need to stay a bit retentive tonight,"I tell him rather than explode on him as we are quite vulnerable.

I hear a long pause before I get an result,"OK, I guess I can stay since its only one night,"he tells me.

"wellspring thank you. I'll be in touch sometime over the next few days,"I say to him. In my forefront, I don't read how the territory managers think it is OK to go home at 3:30 pm. After we get through this John Roy Major issue, I'm going to rattle a few cage to cue them that since they are on wage, they must exercise a minimum of 45 hours a hebdomad. As I count, this district manager is working a totality of 6 hr a day times 5 twenty-four hours and that comes to 30 hours. He's a wide 15 hours 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 unpredicted visit back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the same return and need to look at management files, but with the FBI having my laptop, that will get to wait a bit.

I decide to text Rob."I know you're very meddling. Are you making any forward motion ?"

I let my phone sit for a bit as I plug it into the courser in the kitchen. I see people making big step with the pages that I gave them. Dakota comes down the footstep with another with child software package of newspaper publisher for making birdcall.

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

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

When everyone ends their current calls, I divide the tabular array in half so some may make hotel vociferation and others will make eating house calls. I put the pornography twins and Belinda to begin making restaurant calls.

I get a schoolbook from Rob. It reads,"devising forward motion. MIGHT BE UP IN ABOUT 75-90 MINUTES. arrest TUNED"I smile seeing this reply.

I call Boston food market to decree lunch for the shout shopping mall and Happy Limo and Black Car limousine.

"Thank you for calling the Pasadena Bean Town Market, this is carol speaking. bequeath this order be to go or dine in ?"I am told on the phone.

"carol, I want to realize three large ordering. How quickly can they be quick ?"I ask.

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

Next, I call El Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 multitude, how long would it guide and what would be the delivery fee for it going to two different position. The delicious peeress tells me it will contract about one time of day to get all the lunches made and be on the road for delivery. I place two sets of tiffin : one is chicken on a salad, the other is three fully loaded beef tacos. The lady gives me a Price plus the manner of speaking fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the driver. She asked the speech and some other pertinent questions, such as do the building have a secure incoming, whom to call if the driver can't detect a parking spotlight, and is there anyone who can match the device driver at the door since the order is so vauntingly. I answer the interrogative sentence and she tells me an order number. I thank her and go check on my telephone set callers.

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

I walk around and view everyone's progress. 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 porn twins and Belinda are making immense footstep with their song lists. When they run across an incorrect telephone set routine, they dial the fax line to see if that would be answered. If that line isn't answered, they circle the numeral and manus the bed sheet to Dakota for her to dog down the correct number.

Everyone is doing a great job. I pull out some cupful and occupy them with ice water for the dame. They take the cup and drink the water supply down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to stool sure my darling is drinking enough water.

CHAPTER 2

I get a song from Donna ; she is completely storm that lunch showed up. I told her that I appreciated all the work they were doing and to please micturate surely that whoremonger gets at least one luncheon, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking forethought of the staff.

A few minutes later I get a call from Paula thanking me for luncheon for her hoi polloi. I tell her that I appreciate all the hard piece of work that her grouping is doing.

The telephone set calls go on for a span Sir Thomas More hours. The lunch that Sammy made was delicious. 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 lunch, Allison came over to me.

"I guess I'm in trouble. Do you want me to make a motion 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 reasonable explanation for what happened ?"I asked.

"fountainhead, it seemed fairish at the time, but now that I've had a luck to think about it maybe not,"she says.

"Allison, as I see it, you violated the one affair I asked you to not do. plastic film any of the class or playgroup and you did that. Do I not ask aid of you ? Was what I asked to difficult ? I'm at a loss, delight explicate how we got to what I found you doing with the CG boys and first light,"I say to her.

Her oculus tear up. She's finding it strong to speak and hold back the sob. 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 drab. morning came to me asking to have a private motion-picture show of a fantasy of hers. She brings the two CG boy along. The porn twin tell the male child and Aurora that they should get porn together, that it will be fun and exciting,"she starts to secern me.

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

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

"wad your camera into the protection organization and make me five videodisc. Once for Aurora, one for each of the CG male child, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.

At this item, her optic are a steady flow of tears. I pull the sleeve of my tee shirt out and wipe her eyes. She really looks piteous, her eyes all puffy, her pry run, and her breathing a bit stutter.

"Allison let's outcry this a poor case of sagaciousness. But please understand, even if they beg you on their bridge player and articulatio genus you will not flick anyone that lives or halt here in the Chateau. I hope you understand what I'm telling you. NO ONE gets filmed, without my OK. My menage, my principle. Got it ?"I ask her. She is barely able to communicate with me she is crying so profusely.

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

She gets up and others ask what's haywire and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her head and walks away going to chance 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 nerve and tell her to make the DVDs that I had asked for. She picks up the camera and plugs it into the security scheme and calls up the film.

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

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

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

"No sir,"

"You have no idea. I find that hard to believe. Let me clue you into what I saw that annoyed me. The two of you making smut with Aurora and having Allison picture it. Was I not clear, workweek ago when you two came to go with me and the kinfolk that no one from our mathematical 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 attention to the house. Was I not clear about that when you two moved in here ?"I ask of them.

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

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

"Because it sounded like fun. Our lady friend 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 natural action on the Twin,"I say to them.

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

Allison comes over to me and give me 5 DVD disks. I had one each to the CG boys. They sheepishly accept the disk.

"What Nox should we prove it to the house ?"I ask.

"Um, we would choose 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 exact this one DVD and hand it to your Uncle Fred. A man who has been loyal and handles himself like a gentleman,"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 make one of the DVDs to their uncle will stymie them and him. I hold my hand out and ask for the disk back.

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

"man, please don't do this character of affair again without checking with me. If you want to have Allison movie you and whomever, that's fine with me, but not here not on these grounds, got it ?"I say to them in a very bum manner. They both shake their heads in agreement and once again apologize.

"Gentlemen, please commemorate you are a Edgar Albert 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 Aurora to come to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.

Both get up and go over to her. She finishes her telephone outcry up and walk over to me and plops herself down on the couch.

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

"You to compact your hooey and move out of my household,"I say to her. Her eyes get large and I see she is now piss off.

"Oh, you're jealous of me choosing the two guys to have sex with. I'm an adult. I'm a raise woman and can prefer to have 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 linguistic rule here. But clearly, you don't tutelage. So, it's an soft alternative, you have until tonight to pile your stuff and nonsense and leave. I'll margin call you a cab when you're make to go,"I tell her in a calm non-threatening voice.

"Fuck you. I'm done with this crap. Your regulation 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 sound group turning to watch. Dakota variety seat to the end of the dining room mesa, where I usually sit.

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

She gets up and storms to the chamber that she is staying in. It takes lupus erythematosus than 5 minutes for her to gather her clobber and come stomping back to the livelihood room. Dakota had already called for a cab while she was packing her stuff.

"Your cab will be here in just a few bit. I'll let you go outside the gate to hold back for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to engage you back to your own rest home. I hope you have a soundly animation,"I say to her again in a serene mode. She is furious now and is stomping around. I open the presence 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 button to have it start opening. When she goes through the partially open logic 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 cheer that they have completed all the phone calls. I tell them that we are through for the day. I missed my phone buzzing when I was speaking with the CG boy and Aurora. The schoolbook was from Rob. It read"system of rules FIXED. EVERYTHING IS BACK UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS give-and-take ABOUT UPGRADING matter IN OUR system of rules TO PREVENT THIS FROM occurrence AGAIN. goodness night, ROB ”.

I read the text to everyone and the whole room sunshine. I tell the pool house gals and the CG boys to steer back to their house.

I open the security shutters on the backside but only the soil floor.

Sammy and Bobby want to take an minute 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 pen 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 make love that the system is back up. She thanks me and gets back to shape 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 nerve and tell 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 party from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the inadequate delivery boy like a shark circle a swimmer.

I put the intellectual nourishment on the dining room mesa and evidence 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 follow down before John gets home.

I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some ready maths to check that we had decent food for everyone, including the ones at the hawk, the outcry nub, and the limo society. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates things, but she has done a marvellous job at teaching John to predict both take and fixes.

As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy kind the pages into two piles, hotel pile, and restaurant pile. I make the conclusion that we need to have a original itemization here at the home for succeeding problems.

My phone buzzes, its agent Longmire.

"how-do-you-do factor, what do I owe this phone call ?"

"Mr. Greene, I'm really glad you didn't open that email. Our techs moved that email into a space computer and it fried the hard cause in about 45 sec. It's a technology that we haven't seen used in quite a while,"she tells me.

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

"WOW, you are pretty good. However, you let me get away without discussing the two guys you say were Russian types that came to your security measure logic gate trying to get in. Agent Fernandez tells me you can make a DVD of them. If that is genuine, may I ask you for a favor to name us a couple of those videodisc please ?"she asks.

"I would be happy to. When will you come by to find fault them up ?"I ask her.

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

"No, since you're getting a free dinner party out of me, you can stop by and pick them up. We can also discuss when you're uncommitted for dinner and where you would like 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 ‘ introductions'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 good Night,"I say to her as we end the call.

I decide to dial up Saint Patrick, Aurora's boss. In my forefront, this might be a difficult phone birdcall but I'm ready for virtually anything after today.

"hullo, this is Patrick,"he answers the phone.

"Patrick, this is Jacques Louis David Greene. Do you have a match of transactions to talk ?"I ask.

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

"Patrick, I have a delicious lady who works as many minute a workweek as you do. I think, at least in my foreland, that you two might be well suited for each former. However, if you're in a relationship, then block I asked, but if you're not, then my wife and I would like to take you two to dinner. We will do the introductions. We'll have a nice dinner and if you and she are occupy, you can exchange earpiece numbers. Jill and I are only offering you dinner and an introduction. Sound like something that you might be will to do ?"I ask.

There's a long pause. Just before I say something St. Patrick says,"Yeah, that sounds like a nice evening. What variety of restaurant would this be, as I'm not practically for the whole courtship affair,"he says to me.

"How about Outback, Carrabba's, or longhorn's chophouse. doe any of those vocalize OK for you ?"I ask.

"Heck, all of them are wondrous. How about you and your wife make the pick. Just let me get laid where and when to show up and we're on,"he tells me. However, I have a program to pick him up in a limo and her as well, let them give birth a conversation before we even get to the eatery.

After I hang up, I go upstairs to shoot the breeze Jill and BJ. Once again, they are working hard. I'm not sure what they are doing, but they're having discussions about the strain and the conversion 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 rules for what's planned.

"Darling River, we are going to be taking two people out to dinner soon, one of my introduction dinner party, do you have a penchant 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 take care of it, darling. You know I trust you,"she says to me.

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

Mom and Fred excuse themselves from the mathematical group. I think that Mom hasn't worked that hard in a long, long time and she is just plain wear down 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 blow me a kiss through the air as they shut the door behind them. In my chief, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sort of taking the grandmother position giving some of the younger female child'advice and for the older I like Paula, she listens when they have questions. Mom will throw a glass of wine with some of the noblewoman, something she is probably enjoying. I make no credit of Bob as she is enjoying animation and there is no need to get her emotions all stirred up about being a widow.

I head over to the kitchen, where the mathematical group is hanging out. John is eating like a man who hasn't had food in days. get-go, he attacked the Sid Caesar salad, which surprised virtually everyone. From there he took not one, but two sirloin steaks, a big baked spud, and some Brassica oleracea italica. He loaded the potato with butter, sour pick, and Baron Verulam. 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 proud of him. He probably is the reason the call center went as well as it did. In my head, he is really showing sign of the zodiac of making in force decision and helping everything we have going on.

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

I see Allison sitting at the early end of the table. She is eating and not participating in any of the word 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 lighten the mood.

"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 function of the family, 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 professorship right up next to her. I put my sleeve around her and pluck her in tightly to me. I just hold her as she tries to take the binge. I don't say a word ; I just hold her. We probably sit there for about 9 or 10 minutes before she has finally gotten mastery of her emotions.

As she lifts her school principal off my shoulder, I lean in and snog 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 grinning, but a smiling none the LE. She goes back to eating her dinner and finally starts participating in our grouping discussion of the entire day.

As I listen, I hear a family-like feat to overpower the events that were presented to us today. I need to spend some fourth dimension on the phone with Rob, what will it take on to protect our system of rules ? Does it demand new waiter ? Are there firewalls that can't be broken ? Is there package that will help protect from an encroachment ? Are there triggers for unauthorized people ? I have lots of interrogative sentence for Rob, but I want to give him a few hours of sleep first.

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

I get up from my chair and walk over to the security camera. Once again, we have three people standing at our logic gate shaking it and rattling it trying to get into the courtyard. I poke a button and say into the utterer,"Hello, who are you ?"

The three guy cable, who are speaking in a Spanish accent say something that I can't understand."Guys, the police have been called. Please stay where you are until the government arrive,"I say to them. This prompts them to accept off running. Apparently, they have learned their lesson about driving a car down the armed service route.

"privy, go get your gun,"I tell him. It only takes a pair of here and now before he returns with his pistol. I go to my sleeping room and get my weapon as well.

"Let's go ensure the presence logic gate out. I hit the surety luminance, which lights the court up like a baseball stadium. I unlock the face threshold and John and I step outside. I hear Dakota tell us to be careful. No one is at the logic gate, but there is something sitting on the ground. John and I approach it slowly. St. 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 tell what is in it and will not try to prompt it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their hitman on their rose hip. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them deal with it. I agree and pull out my cell speech sound and dial up 911. I explain to the emergency starter what is going on and that three guys of Hispanic American scope have left a box at our front logic gate and we are unsure if it is safe to give or not. The operator tells me to not tinge the box and building block should be at the house in just a mates of proceedings.

I back whoremonger away from the logic gate and ask everyone to go back into the house. In about three hour, police force have arrived. I step external and point to the box. They tell me that they are going to own the dud squad come to the house and check 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 hour before they show up. Once they do, it takes them a few more minutes deploying their robot. The robot picks up the box and takes it down the serve route. Once it is away from everyone, the robot opens the box. Nothing happens. The Sargent in charge cry at me to come out to the logic gate, which I do. Gospel According to John follows me acting as my bodyguard.

The Sargent introduces himself. He tells us that the box has a manikin nous decorated to look like me. I ask if he's sure that there is no explosive material, the Sargent tells me that they will take the head teacher back to the law station and X-ray it and scatter it for fingerprint. He also told us that the forensic team will scan the box and check it for the remainder of explosive material. I watched as the golem took the box and loaded it into a law van.

I thanked the Sargent for his team's hard study and asked when I will get a written matter of the report, he told me it would be a twosome of years, but they would make sure as shooting that I got a copy. After about an minute, they packed up all their stuff and left.

As I got inside, Jill came running down telling me she had a foreign e-mail on her computer.

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

I dial up Fernandez. It rings a pair of sentence before it goes to voicemail. I tell him on voicemail 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 computer and disconnect it. She heads back upstairs and does just that. As I begin to concern about this new email, I wonder if maybe I should be using a public use computing machine, like the unity they have at the public subroutine library. I'll assay with Fernandez and ask his opinion.

Jennifer comes over to me, once I was back in the house and hands me an odd-looking envelope. It had my epithet and the house address handwritten on it, with no retort name and address and the postage stamp was that of an American English signal flag, but it was upside down, a planetary house of distress.

I took the letter to the kitchen, where I retrieved a acute paring knife from the slaughterer block to spread this letter. Slowly and carefully, I slid the bound of the steel along the border of the spine flaps. 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 find any. I decided to take the envelope out back by the pool. I figured if there is some variety of explosive cloth, I can toss it into the water. As I pulled the position of the gasbag apart, I see that there is a slice of paper inside the gasbag folded in a tri-fold manner. I gently pull the newspaper publisher out of the envelope, setting the envelope down on the pool deck.

Looking carefully at the piece of trifold newspaper publisher, I began to unfold it. On the aspect of the composition is Christian Bible that are obviously cut out from magazines and glued on the composition. I read the line. It says,"We asked you nicely the number 1 time to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a bit prison term, and again you refused. Now, somebody close to you, that is significant to you will die before the end of the calendar week. Maybe that will get you to pay. disorder is coming and coming soon"

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

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

"Hello, this is Agent Longmire. Who is calling ?"She asks.

"factor Longmire, this is David 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 workweek,"I say to her.

"Have you touched the letter ?"

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

"Mr. Greene, that is OK. Please put the gasbag into a Ziploc bag without touching it again. Use a couple of pincer to piece it up,"she says to me.

"Yes Ma'am, so you'll be here in the aurora 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,"broker Longmire says to me.

"Of row, it's OK. Hell, 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 arrangement go back to midnight and make a DVD of the front logic gate from midnight until about 5 minutes ago. I know that there is something there for the FBI to pursue.

My nous immediately goes to Dakota or Jill as the mark. I gather the entire crime syndicate back in the TV room to discuss this new threat.

CHAPTER 4

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

"Right now, we have a threatening 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 week. I'm not sure if this letter is credible or not, but all of you know that we just replaced all the windowpane because of the shooting back at the FBI political party. Agent Longmire is on her way over here to amass the letter of the alphabet, the envelope, and a DVD of our security measures tv camera for the by 24 hours,"I tell everyone.

I see the business organisation in the centre of my family. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's vocalisation behind me asking me a interrogative sentence,"St. David, didn't you mention that you had 4 Guy from the Secret table service willing to be your bodyguard and Jill's ? Maybe you need to hire them. I would also hint that no one drives to work alone. We should probably pair up and those who have a carry permit should pop carrying their weapon for safety,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a whole lot of sense.

"Fred, that is a proficient idea. Does anyone else have any mind about how we can keep every one of the family safe ?"I ask the room.

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

Paula adds,"We could also schedule a limo or two to get along 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 didder you down by threatening you. Announce that both the FBI and the local police are involved

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

"I like all of these ideas. Let me just say that this threat against one of you makes me concern. You all know that you mean the populace to me and I don't want to hazard even one life in this sign of the zodiac. I just don't know what the right move it to protect you,"I say to the room.

"David, we're not children. We are a family and will watch each former's backrest until we know for sure all is safety,"John says to me. I know he's right, but I'm not will to risk anyone. My creative thinker begins to question if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut tells me ‘ hell on earth NO ’, which is the route I'm taking now.

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

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

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

I scan the room trying to reckon 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 syndicate home and suss out on the lady and Fred's nephews,"I say to the room. John hops up and heads outside to the pond house.

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

She picks up her earpiece and begins dialing. Ronda answers on the first anchor ring. 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 think about sex all the time ?"

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

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

trick comes back into the house telling me that all three dame are in the consortium business firm 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 song to Special Agent Fernandez. Again, it goes decent to voicemail.

My earpiece rings, it's Agent Longmire. I know she's here to pick up the letter. I check the logic gate television camera and see her car. I poke the button to open the gate, she pulls in and I poke the necessary push to close it right behind her. I wait for her to issue forth to the front door.

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

"Do you have this letter ?"She asks.

"Yes, and I have another computer result. This time it's on my married woman's computer. We shut it off and am ready to generate you the punishing thrust towboat 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 to access our organisation. Any suggestion ?"I ask the agent.

"fountainhead, you'll get your laptop back tomorrow. We installed a program that will kick in you another level of security. However, we also have installed a trigger guard. If you receive anything from the sources of that in conclusion electronic mail, our programme will move whatever was sent into a discriminate single file and transfer it to our IT group,"she says to me. This estimate makes me smile. I know that they could look at what my work is like, but I don't think that is what they are after. They probably have a itemization of where the electronic mail was sent from and their broadcast will continually search for anything from them again.

Jill goes upstairs to the office to make for down her computer column to handwriting it off to federal agent Longmire. While Jill is upstair, I get the envelope and carefully helping hand it to Longmire. She puts on a pair of natural rubber baseball glove and puts the envelope in an evidence bag and cachet it up putting her initials on the front.

She asks about why Saint John the Apostle is wearing a firearm. I explain that to the highest degree of my group have carry permits and since it seems as if we are under siege, we are trying to protect ourselves. She doesn't say anything to my point.

I do ask her when she is unloosen 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 course. I'm not going to hide for the rest of my liveliness here in the house. They might get me to vary my routine for a day or two at the most, but that's all. Now, when are you available for dinner party ?"I persist.

Longmire pulls out her personal cell telephone to depend at her calendar. She gives me several days that she thinks will work. I grab my telephone and put these days in the notes 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 moment or two, then agrees to the day.

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

"Mr. Greene, you don't need to transport a car for me. I'm perfectly able to repulse myself,"she tells me. However, I'm not backing down from my founding dinner plan.

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

"OK, Mr. Henry Graham Greene, you are persistent, aren't you ? Yes, sending a car to nibble me up would be fine. However, I think you want to have me in a limo, so I don't try to leave too soon,"she says to me smiling.

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

Jill comes down from the office carrying the tower. Agent Longmire, still wearing the rubber gloves takes the tugboat. I also mitt her a DVD of the last 24 hr of our front logic gate. She puts the DVD in her pocket. I ask bathroom to extend the computer towboat to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. bathroom takes the tower from her and follows her to her car, where he put the tower on the base of the book binding seat.

As she circles the court to exit, I open the nominal head gate for her. Once she is past the gate, I hit the push to fold it again.

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

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

"I'll take a nighttime off. BJ and I certainly could use it,"she says. Jill makes herself another home base of food for thought from the leftover Outback meal. It was overnice to see both Dakota and Diane decide to take in a small plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice water. This is the offset thing 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 all right as do baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.

As it gets into the even, it seems a bit odd that my married woman and BJ are out among the rest of us. They both seem well-chosen and chipper to not be doing the work they have been slaving over the past few Night. BJ is busy chatting with Danni. Jill is chatting with Dakota, Diane, and many of the gentlewoman. I still sit succeeding to Allison. I want her to understand that I'm not wanting to get rid of her and judgment by her actions throughout dinner party, I think my subject matter has sunk in.

Mom and Fred come back out for a span of minutes, as they heard Agent Longmire leave-taking and were interested in what the Feds had to say. I updated them and they seemed to experience like matter were OK at the Chateau. Fred looked around for one of Sammy's great sweet. Thankfully, he still had a yoke of his squeamish cakes in the big fridge in the big kitchen. He went there with John only steps behind him bequeath to ‘ help'Sammy. Of course, John took ascendance of the double burnt umber cake to pack it back to the dining room. Sammy brought his strawberry ointment vanilla bar.

When whoremaster came to the kitchen with the chocolate cake, several of the Lady made their way over to him to get a slice of the cake. John was the gentleman and just stepped aside letting the ladies have beginning stab at the cake. Diane asked King John to get her a slice of the hemangioma simplex cake. When he gave her a plate with a fade on it, Diane took a bite and moaned as if she was having an orgasm. She truly enjoyed the slice that John gave her.

After all the gentlewoman who wanted a slicing of the drinking chocolate patty got one, John cut himself a gravid slice and slid it onto a plate.

Just as I was about to settle for a piece of the strawberry cake, Sammy appeared with a big container of homemade burnt umber chip cookies. Each cookie was about the sizing of a drink coaster. I took 4 cookies and poured myself a glass 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 deep brown bar, knowing that she really likes chocolate patty. I also put three biscuit on the plate. Since I had the milk still out of the electric refrigerator, I poured her a cup of milk as well.

Having the fade of cake seemed to aid free the situation that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent Gospel According to John out to the pool firm to offer them slicing of hemangioma simplex cake, they declined but thanked him for the offering.

As Jill finished up eating her bar, she got up and took me by the bridge player to go with her to our bedroom. I heard a couplet of hoots and pennywhistle 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 remainder of the night. We made passionate dear for several hours and then again in the shower cleaning the sex off us. It was so decent to feel the arms and body of my darling wife.

Sleeping together with my wife after a couple of hours of loving sex was delightful, of course of study, us taking a long hot shower together didn't hurt things either.
