CHAPTER 1

Before Dakota came down from the office, Amy came scuffling out of her bedroom. Apparently, she was up late observation movie. The one I saw before going to bed was only one of three that the mob 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 quick shower and then help on the phone. I sent her to get that exhibitioner as I would necessitate 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 next move. BJ was pretty much her shadow. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the next gradation for them might be.

The back threshold opened and the seven from the studio apartment and the pool house 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 salutary as both boys kept looking at the ground. Aurora sat nervously at the kitchen table, not really looking at me. The smut twins went upstairs to the room that they had chosen to put their clobber down and came back down to the kitchen.

While hoi polloi were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big smokestack of composition. She set them on the kitchen table and headed back on a higher floor. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree placement were printed out, each localisation listed the reference, the building block number, the phone, and fax routine as well as the flow full general coach's name. I flipped through the good deal and took off about 10 pages and began handing them out.

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

"If I deal anyone locations that are Mae West of the Magnolia State, please set them aside and motivate on. Look at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to chip in you a dissimilar set of 10 pages,"I tell the group.

One of the CG boys had pages for Arkansas, I took those back and handed him the next 10. I decided to incubate what should be said,"OK, everyone here's what I would like you to say to the contact unit. ‘ howdy Mr. Bessie Smith, I'm David from Jaxson, Inc. home office. We're aware that you currently have no computer system. We've had a technical foul glitch and our IT department is working hard on fixing the progeny as quickly as potential. When the system is restored you will receive a message that says our system is back online. Until you receive this content please have your the great unwashed stay off our scheme. Do you have any questions at this percentage point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your assistance,"Then you should attend up and act on to the future unit.

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

"Yes sir, can Bobby and I make some telephone calls to assist ?"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 uneasy about what will materialise. sunrise is just sitting there with her ten page acting as nothing has happened. I'll speech this issue when things are much more settled down. The porn counterpart and Belinda seem excited to participate as they have note inkpad, playpen and their cubicle phone plugged into the wall to observe them charged.

My phone buzz. It's Agent Heidi Longmire.

"hello Mr. Greene, this is agentive role Longmire. I believe you spoke with extra Agent Fernandez and he let you hump that I would be coming by to beak up your laptop. Please assure me you have not opened that email,"she says to me.

"Agent Longmire, the laptop is closed and unplugged from the wall. 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 of process route right now,"she says.

"OK, then I'll time lag until I see your car and then spread the gate,"I say.

I head to the surety tv camera in the kitchen to watch until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the requisite clit to open the gate. I watch her pull the car into the court and I poke the buttons to fill up the gate immediately after she pulls in.

I pick up the laptop and power cord and paseo over by the front line door. As I wait for her to come to the room access, I hear my grouping making phone call and almost repeating the speech exactly that I gave them to say.

There is a roast at the door.

"Who is it ?"I ask.

"It's federal agent Longmire,"she says.

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

I open the door just a few column inch and see her holding her FBI ID. I open the threshold the eternal sleep of the way and let her come inside.

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

"I have my multitude calling each unit east of the Mississippi to let them know that we have a computer outlet and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the superior general coach to keep their people off the system until service is restored. Right now, we are working on the hotel variance, but as soon as we have more striking data printed out I'll split the mathematical group half working on the hotel variance and one-half on the restaurant side,"I tell her. She sees the laptop computer but before I mitt it over to her I ask my interrogative,"federal agent, are you married or in a kinship ?"

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

"Not to me, it's not. I saw you running things when we had the shooting of your agents here. Captain Perez showed up and you turned the probe over to him. I asked peculiar agent Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a hard worker and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to ask for you to dinner to meet somebody who works just as hard as you do. He owns his own business and, in my head, I think the two of you would be compatible. However, let me be enlighten, I'm not matchmaking, I'm just doing introductions. If zero happens then that's fine, but if you work as hard as I think you work then maybe having someone to verbalise about piece of work to might be of interest to you. If not, well then you got a courteous 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 experience no time to go looking for someone to intrust for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the local pub to pick up somebody that I can't condition out ahead of clock time. Yeah, I'll be felicitous to go to dinner with whomever. One small bank note, I'm allergic to bell peppers. Doesn't matter the colour just Vanessa Stephen common pepper in general. Here's my card, let me write my personal cell phone act on the back as I don't want to get in trouble for using the delegacy cell telephone set for personal business organisation,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her number on the back.

"Thank you, Agent. Here's the laptop,"I say as I hand her the computer. She puts the laptop into an evidence bag and cachet it. I open the front threshold for her and out she goes. I go back to the security measure arrangement and poke the clitoris to open the gate and watch her leave.

I call Donna.

"Donna, how are things going ?"

"Well, David I'm glad you gave me John. He's been a big help calming people down that are here. He is also taking call escalations and handling frantic client. He's sorting the manual booking into 27 piles, one for each state and one pile for Washington DC. I form of tone useless he's doing so much for the call inwardness,"Donna tells me.

"Well, then we made a good call sending him to your mathematical group. We're making calls 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 nervous laugh.

"I'll pinch base with you later, save working. Oh, one more thing how many people do you have working ?"

"rightfulness now, 75, but in about 90 hour the s fracture arrives and that will subscribe to us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"

"I just wanted to maintain tab key on how much help you have there since you are doing things manually. If you feel you need more 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.

"Hello Paula, how goes the limo business ?"

"Really slow. The organization is virtually down so we are taking reservations for limos manually. We're explaining that we have a system takings but not to worry 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 business sector doing ok manually.

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

I end my call with Paula and walk over to Amy and gently guide the telephone set from her.

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

"This is Mark recitation. I'm a dominion manager for a Pinetree territorial dominion in Dallas. What the underworld is going on with our organisation ?"

"Mr. Reading, we have a large issue with our computing machine system for every computer East of the Mississippi. Did Amy not state you that we have a figurer issue and that the IT section is working on the issue ?"I ask him in an annoyed voice.

"well, I can't do my job with no computer. I need to search at yesterday's routine 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 order me when you go home,"I say to this district manager.

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

"well, since we are having issues, you may ask to stay a bit yearner tonight,"I tell him rather than burst on him as we are quite vulnerable.

I hear a long suspension before I get an answer,"OK, I guess I can stay since its only one nighttime,"he tells me.

"fountainhead thank you. I'll be in trace sometime over the following few days,"I say to him. In my head, I don't interpret how the district director think it is OK to go domicile at 3:30 pm. After we get through this major publication, I'm going to rattle a few John Milton Cage Jr. to remind them that since they are on wage, they must cultivate a minimum of 45 hours a week. As I count, this district manager is working a total of 6 hours a day times 5 twenty-four hour period and that comes to 30 hours. He's a full 15 hours unretentive and being paid for 45 but only working 30. That is going to change rather quickly. I have my architectural plan B ready for my unheralded visit back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the same military issue and need to bet at management Indian file, but with the FBI having my laptop, that will have to wait a bit.

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

I let my phone sit for a bit as I plug it into the charger in the kitchen. I see mass making big pace with the pages that I gave them. Dakota comes down the steps with another large software of paper for making calls.

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

I see people putting their telephone down. Bobby and Sammy are chatting quietly about one of them making tiffin for everyone. I'm quite proud of the erotica twins and Belinda, they look like they have made the most yell as their push-down stack of papers is much larger than anyone else.

When everyone ends their current calls, I divide the table in half so some may hold hotel birdcall and others will defecate eating house margin call. I put the porno twins and Belinda to lead off making eatery calls.

I get a text from Rob. It reads,"fashioning PROGRESS. might BE UP IN ABOUT 75-90 instant. stoppage TUNED"I smile seeing this reply.

I call Beantown marketplace to order lunch for the phone call meat and Happy Limo and Black Car Limo.

"Thank you for calling the Pasadena Bean Town food market, this is Carol speaking. will this Holy Order be to go or dine in ?"I am told on the phone.

"Carol, I want to urinate three big orderliness. How quickly can they be make ?"I ask.

"Well 5-15 sandwiches about 35-40 minutes forever 5 sandwiches add 10 Sir Thomas More minutes,"she says. I think to myself that it will be dinner time before all the intellectual nourishment is fix. carol, that's all I needed to know, I'll call you another time,"and hang up the phone.

Next, I call El Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 people, how long would it take and what would be the speech fee for it going to two unlike locating. The delightful Lady tells me it will ask about one time of day to induce all the lunches made and be on the road for bringing. I place two sets of lunches : one is chicken on a salad, the former is three fully loaded beef taco. The lady gives me a Leontyne Price plus the rescue fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the driver. She asked the address and some other apt questions, such as do the buildings have a secure entryway, whom to yell if the driver can't see a parking spot, and is there anyone who can contact the driver at the door since the decree is so gravid. I answer the question and she tells me an order identification number. I thank her and go check on my telephone callers.

Sammy asks if grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup would be alright for tiffin. I shrug my articulatio humeri and recite him that it sounds fine.

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

Surprising to me is that the porn twins and Belinda are making huge stride with their call lists. When they run across an incorrect phone number, they dial the fax line to see if that would be answered. If that stock isn't answered, they circle the figure and hand the sheet to Dakota for her to cut through down the correct number.

Everyone is doing a swell job. I pull out some cups and fill them with ice urine for the dame. They take the cups and fuddle the water system down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to take a crap certainly my darling is drinking enough water.

CHAPTER 2

I get a margin call from Donna ; she is completely surprised that lunch showed up. I told her that I appreciated all the work they were doing and to please micturate certain that Gospel According to John gets at least one luncheon, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking care of the staff.

A few minute later I get a call from Paula thanking me for lunch for her citizenry. I tell her that I appreciate all the hard employment that her group is doing.

The phone calls go on for a couple to a greater extent hours. The tiffin that Sammy made was delicious. The phone grouping stopped, and we all enjoyed the food, but there were lots of conversations about how multitude reacted to the headphone calls.

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

"I guess I'm in trouble. Do you require me to locomote out ?"She says in a discomfited manner.

"Why would I want you to incite 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.

"wellspring, it seemed reasonable at the time, but now that I've had a chance to opine 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 class or playgroup and you did that. Do I not engage tutelage of you ? Was what I asked to difficult ? I'm at a deprivation, delight explain how we got to what I found you doing with the CG male child and Aurora,"I say to her.

Her optic tear up. She's finding it operose to verbalize and hold back the sob. I put my sleeve 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.

"Saint David, I'm so sorry. Aurora came to me asking to have a private moving picture of a phantasy of hers. She brings the two CG son along. The porn twin tell the boys and break of the day that they should make porn together, that it will be fun and charge up,"she starts to distinguish me.

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

"aurora kept telling me that she isn't region 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 affair on the photographic camera. What do you want me to do with it ?"she asks.

"Plug your camera into the security system and make me five DVD. Once for Aurora, one for each of the CG boys, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.

At this point, her eyes are a sweetie stream of tears. I pull the arm of my tee shirt out and pass over her eyes. She really looks pitiful, her eyes all puffy, her nose running, and her breathing a bit stutter.

"Allison let's call this a miserable shell of judgment. But delight understand, even if they beg you on their hands and stifle you will not film anyone that lives or girdle here in the Chateau. I hope you understand what I'm telling you. NO ONE gets filmed, without my OK. My sign of the zodiac, my linguistic rule. Got it ?"I ask her. She is barely able-bodied to pass on 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 wrong and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her pass and walks away going to observe 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 cheek and evidence her to make the DVDs that I had asked for. She picks up the television camera and punch it into the security organization and calls up the film.

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

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

"guy rope, 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 mind. I find that hard to think. Let me clue you into what I saw that annoyed me. The two of you making smut with Aurora and having Allison celluloid it. Was I not clear, hebdomad ago when you two came to live with me and the family 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 eccentric of affair that brings unwanted aid to the house. Was I not earn about that when you two moved in here ?"I ask of them.

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

"valet de chambre, 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 multitude that live here, including you two dumbass. 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 exciting,"the early one tells me.

"Please don't evidence me that you're now blaming your military action on the Gemini,"I say to them.

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

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

"What dark should we show it to the business firm ?"I ask.

"Um, we would favor 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 rent this one DVD and bridge player it to your Uncle Fred. A man who has been loyal and handles himself like a valet,"I say to them.

One of the son accepts the DVD but just holds it staring at it. The early boy doesn't even flavor at the DVD. I know that asking them to give one of the DVDs to their uncle will embarrass 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.

"gentleman's gentleman, please don't do this type of affair again without checking with me. If you want to birth Allison celluloid you and whomever, that's mulct with me, but not here not on these dry land, got it ?"I say to them in a very rear style. They both shake their chief in agreement and once again apologize.

"gentleman's gentleman, please retrieve you are a invitee here and everything you do reflects on your uncle,"I say to them. They both thank me for giving them a 2nd chance.

"Please ask Aurora to total to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.

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

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

"You to pack your hooey and move out of my mansion,"I say to her. Her middle get large and I see she is now pissed off.

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

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

"piece of tail you. I'm done with this diddly-shit. Your rules are stupid. I don't live here so they don't pertain to me. You should get that through your chummy school principal,"she barks at me. I see a couplet of the earphone mathematical group turning to watch. Dakota changes seats to the end of the dining elbow room table, where I usually sit.

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

She gets up and storms to the bedroom that she is staying in. It takes less than 5 minutes for her to gather her stuff and come stomping back to the keep room. Dakota had already called for a cab while she was packing her hooey.

"Your cab will be here in just a few minutes. I'll let you go outside the gate to wait for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to lead you back to your own dwelling house. I hope you have a good life,"I say to her again in a quieten manner. She is furious now and is stomping around. I open the presence door for her and let her take the air outside into the courtyard cussing and swearing at me. When she gets to the certificate gate, I poke the button to have it get down opening. When she goes through the partially heart-to-heart 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 cheerfulness that they have completed all the phone calls. I tell them that we are through for the day. I missed my speech sound buzzing when I was speaking with the CG boys and Aurora. The text edition was from Rob. It read"SYSTEM FIXED. EVERYTHING IS book binding UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS give-and-take ABOUT UPGRADING THINGS IN OUR arrangement TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. goodness NIGHT, ROB ”.

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

I open the security measures shutters on the derriere but only the ground floor.

Sammy and Bobby want to rent an hour off to rest a bit before they make dinner. I offer to buy dinner for everyone from either Outback or Carrabba's, the way chose Outback. I told them to spell 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 billet to let Jill know that the system is back up. She thanks me and gets back to work with BJ. I tell them both that Outback is being ordered and to text Dakota what they want for dinner.

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

CHAPTER 3

When the dinner party from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the poor deliverance boy like a shark circuit a swimmer.

I put the intellectual nourishment on the dining room mesa and tell 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 for thought was here, and they need to come down before john gets home.

I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some quick mathematics to insure that we had enough solid food for everyone, including the 1 at the hawk, the call center of attention, and the limousine ship's company. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates affair, but she has done a wonderful job at teaching St. John the Apostle to anticipate both issues and fixes.

As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy variety the pages into two piles, hotel nap, and restaurant quite a little. I make the decision that we need to consume a master itemisation here at the family for future problems.

My earphone bombination, its factor Longmire.

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

"Mr. Greene, I'm really glad you didn't open that email. Our techs moved that electronic mail into a lacuna computing device and it fried the hard drive in about 45 seconds. It's a engineering that we haven't seen used in quite a while,"she tells me.

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

"WOW, you are pretty in force. However, you let me get away without discussing the two guys you say were Russian type that came to your security logic gate trying to get in. factor Fernandez tells me you can make a DVD of them. If that is true, may I ask you for a favor to make us a twosome of those DVDs please ?"she asks.

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

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

"No, since you're getting a free dinner out of me, you can stop by and pick them up. We can also discuss when you're useable for dinner party and where you would like to go,"I tell her.

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

"That sounds tremendous. I look forward to seeing you, agent Longmire. Have a beneficial night,"I say to her as we end the call.

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

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

"Patrick, this is St. David Greene. Do you have a duo of min to utter ?"I ask.

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

"Patrick, I have a delicious madam who works as many hours a calendar week as you do. I think, at to the lowest degree in my head, that you two might be well suited for each other. However, if you're in a relationship, then draw a blank I asked, but if you're not, then my wife and I would like to hold you two to dinner. We will do the presentation. We'll have a nice dinner and if you and she are concerned, you can interchange sound numbers. Jill and I are only offering you dinner party and an foundation. Sound like something that you might be willing to do ?"I ask.

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

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

"Heck, all of them are fantastic. How about you and your wife make the option. Just let me know where and when to show up and we're on,"he tells me. However, I have a programme to pick him up in a limo and her as well, let them accept a conversation before we even get to the restaurant.

After I hang up, I go upstairs to call Jill and BJ. Once again, they are working hard. I'm not sure what they are doing, but they're having discourse about the blood line and the conversion to a whole new setup. I see Jill looking through paperwork from the SEC regarding changeover of publicly held stock. Jill and BJ are ensuring that they follow the rules for what's planned.

"Darling, we are going to be taking two mass out to dinner soon, one of my introduction dinners, do you have a preference for where we go to dinner, or should I just set everything up and let you have a go at it after its all set up ?"I ask.

"Just deal concern of it, darling. You know I trust you,"she says to me.

I go over and kiss her, but she seems annoyed with me now. I kiss BJ on the cheek and head back downstairs. Once there, I hear several spokesperson, everyone from the hawk has made it dwelling house. Paula and Donna, along with privy have all arrived as well.

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

"Hey, Mom. Thank you for all the hard employment that you and Fred put in today. We couldn't have gotten through it all without your avail,"I say before they go into her room. I see her black eye me a kiss through the air as they shut the threshold behind them. In my head, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sort of taking the grandma spatial relation giving some of the younger girls'advice and for the older ones like Paula, she listens when they have questions. Mom will birth a glass of wine with some of the peeress, something she is probably enjoying. I make no acknowledgment of Bob as she is enjoying life and there is no need to get her emotions all stirred up about being a widow.

I head over to the kitchen, where the mathematical group is hanging out. toilet is eating like a man who hasn't had intellectual nourishment in solar day. low gear, he attacked the Caesar salad, which surprised virtually everyone. From there he took not one, but two sirloin steaks, a orotund baked potato, and some Brassica oleracea italica. He loaded the potato with butter, sour emollient, and Sir Francis Bacon. Then he just sat down at the dining room board and began to eat. He didn't say a word about the day, but I am very gallant of him. He probably is the grounds the outcry center went as well as it did. In my chief, he is really showing signboard of making expert 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 chairman at the tabular array to eat their Outback dinner. Diane gets her plate and sits down following to John.

I see Allison sitting at the former end of the table. She is eating and not participating in any of the discourse 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 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 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 chair right up adjacent to her. I put my arms around her and pull her in tightly to me. I just bind her as she tries to contain the tears. 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 dominance of her emotions.

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

As I listen, I hear a family-like effort to overcome the event that were presented to us today. I need to pass some time on the speech sound with Rob, what will it take to protect our scheme ? 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 induction for unauthorized citizenry ? I have lots of query for Rob, but I want to contribute him a few hours of sleep first.

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

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

The three guys, who are speaking in a Spanish dialect say something that I can't understand."Guys, the police have been called. Please outride where you are until the authorities arrive,"I say to them. This prompts them to accept off running. Apparently, they have learned their deterrent example about driving a car down the service route.

"John, go get your gun,"I tell him. It only takes a twain of moments before he returns with his shooting iron. I go to my sleeping accommodation and get my weapon as well.

"Let's go check the front line gate out. I hit the security lights, which lights the court up like a baseball stadium. I unlock the face room access and trick and I step outside. I hear Dakota tell us to be thrifty. No one is at the gate, but there is something sitting on the ground. 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 face at the box without touching it.

He tells me he can't evidence what is in it and will not try to proceed it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their triggerman on their rose hip. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them deal with it. I agree and pull out my cell phone and dial up 911. I explain to the hand brake dispatcher what is going on and that three guys of Hispanic background knowledge have left a box at our straw man gate and we are unsure if it is secure to open or not. The operator tells me to not reach the box and whole should be at the sign of the zodiac in just a couple of arcminute.

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

It takes the bomb team about another 20 minutes before they show up. Once they do, it takes them a few Sir Thomas More second deploying their robot. The automaton picks up the box and takes it down the overhaul road. Once it is away from everyone, the robot opens the box. Nothing happens. The Sargent in kick yells at me to come out to the gate, which I do. John follows me acting as my escort.

The John Singer Sargent introduces himself. He tells us that the box has a mannequin heading decorated to look like me. I ask if he's sure that there is no explosive material, the Sargent tells me that they will submit the headway back to the police place and X-ray photograph it and dust it for fingermark. He also told us that the forensic team will scan the box and chequer it for the residual of volatile cloth. I watched as the robot took the box and loaded it into a police van.

I thanked the Sargent for his squad's hard work and asked when I will get a written matter of the report, he told me it would be a couple of 24-hour interval, but they would make believe sure that I got a transcript. After about an hour, they packed up all their material and left.

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

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

I dial up Fernandez. It rings a brace of prison term before it goes to voicemail. I tell him on voicemail that we have, well Jill has, another one of those e-mail and that we are not opening it or touching it. I ask Jill to reverse off her reckoner and unplug it. She heads back up the stairs and does just that. As I begin to care about this new email, I wonder if maybe I should be using a public use computer, like the ones they have at the populace library. I'll check 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 name and the house speech handwritten on it, with no return speech and the stamp stamp was that of an American English fleur-de-lis, but it was upside down, a sign of distress.

I took the letter to the kitchen, where I retrieved a sharp sliver knife from the meatman cylinder block to open this letter. Slowly and carefully, I slid the border of the blade along the boundary of the back fluttering. I let the knife cut through the boundary 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 aim the gasbag out back by the pool. I figured if there is some sort of explosive textile, I can toss it into the pee. As I pulled the slope of the envelope apart, I see that there is a while of paper inside the envelope folded in a tri-fold fashion. I gently pull the newspaper publisher out of the envelope, setting the envelope down on the pool deck.

looking at carefully at the piece of trifold theme, I began to unfold it. On the facial expression of the paper is words that are obviously cut out from magazines and glued on the paper. I read the note. It says,"We asked you nicely the low gear metre to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a secondment time, and again you refused. Now, person close to you, that is of import to you will die before the end of the hebdomad. Maybe that will get you to pay. upset 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 envelope.

I set the letter of the alphabet down on the mesa at the end of the living room couch. I dial up Fernandez, it goes to voicemail. I hang up and telephone dial him again, and again it goes to voice mail. I decide to dial up Agent Longmire.

"hullo, this is 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 someone close to me will die before the end of the week,"I say to her.

"Have you touched the varsity letter ?"

"Yes, I held onto the edges of the envelope and used a paring knife to open the gasbag. Once it was undetermined, I carefully pulled the letter out, trying not to touch the paper 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 envelope into a Ziploc bag without touching it again. Use a duet of pair of pincers 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 instant, if that's OK with you,"broker Longmire says to me.

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

I head over to the security arrangement in the kitchen. I make the organization go back to midnight and make a DVD of the front 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 targets. I gather the full phratry back in the TV room to hash out this new threat.

CHAPTER 4

Once I have everyone in the TV way, I begin to tell everyone what we know so far and what the FBI and topical anesthetic constabulary are doing.

"Right now, we have a threatening letter claiming that because I didn't pay the extortion money that they asked, person 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 windows because of the shooting back at the FBI party. Agent Longmire is on her way over here to collect the alphabetic character, the envelope, and a DVD of our security photographic camera for the past 24 minute,"I tell everyone.

I see the concern in the middle of my household. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's voice behind me asking me a question,"David, didn't you mention that you had 4 hombre from the closed book Service volition to be your bodyguards and Jill's ? Maybe you need to hire them. I would also advise that no one drives to work alone. We should probably partner off up and those who have a take Trachinotus falcatus should start carrying their weapon for prophylactic,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a whole bunch of sense.

"Fred, that is a in effect idea. Does anyone else have any ideas about how we can retain every one of the home safety ?"I ask the room.

Jennifer speaks first,"Maybe those of us who work at the Saami home, such as the Hawk should all turn on in one fomite, say John's truck or my truck. Both trucks have tinted windows, so coming out of the garage, it would be unmanageable for the bad guys to see who is in the fomite,"she says.

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

Dakota joins the conversation,"I think you need to cause your new PR individual announce to the media that someone is trying to stimulate you down by threatening you. announce that both the FBI and the local police are involved

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

"I like all of these approximation. Let me just say that this scourge against one of you makes me care. 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 tiddler. We are a family and will learn each former's backs until we know for certain all is safety,"bathroom says to me. I know he's right, but I'm not volition to risk anyone. My mind begins to wonder if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut tells me ‘ HELL NO ’, which is the path I'm taking now.

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

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

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

I scan the room trying to figure 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 house and discipline on the ladies and Fred's nephews,"I say to the room. John hops up and nous outside to the pool house.

"Jill, claim Ronda. Make surely she is OK,"I say to Jill.

She picks up her headphone and begins dialing. Ronda answers on the first 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 guess of my beloved ?"Ronda asked giggling.

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

john comes back into the house telling me that all three lady are in the pool home and both of Fred's nephews are there as well.

Now I'm confused. Who are they talking about ? Or are they even being true, maybe they are just trying to rattle my batting cage ? Either way, I put in another telephone call to exceptional agentive role Fernandez. Again, it goes right to voicemail.

My phone rings, it's factor Longmire. I know she's here to pick up the letter. I check the gate camera and see her car. I poke the button to open the gate, she pulls in and I poke the requirement release to come together it right behind her. I wait for her to get to the front doorway.

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

"Do you take in this letter ?"She asks.

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

"wellspring, you'll get your laptop computer back tomorrow. We installed a curriculum that will give you another level of security. However, we also have installed a initiation guard. If you receive anything from the seed of that utmost email, our program will act whatever was sent into a separate file and transfer it to our IT group,"she says to me. This idea 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 program will continually search for anything from them again.

Jill goes upstairs to the office to land down her computing machine tower to hand it off to Agent Longmire. While Jill is upstairs, I get the gasbag and carefully hand it to Longmire. She puts on a pair of rubber gloves and puts the gasbag in an grounds bag and seals it up putting her initials on the front.

She asks about why John is wearing a firearm. I explain that nearly 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 free for the meeting dinner."You mean you still want to go through with this even though you feel your home is in risk ?"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 exchange my act for a day or two at the most, but that's all. Now, when are you available for dinner ?"I persist.

Longmire pulls out her personal cellphone phone to look at her calendar. She gives me various Day that she thinks will work. I grab my phone and put these solar day in the promissory note section of my earphone and mark it on the calendar. Looking at the day 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 pick you up and bring you to dinner,"I tell her.

"Mr. Graham Greene, you don't need to transport a car for me. I'm perfectly capable to ram myself,"she tells me. However, I'm not backing down from my origination dinner party 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 dogged, aren't you ? Yes, sending a car to pick me up would be fine. However, I think you want to sustain me in a limo, so I don't try to leave betimes,"she says to me smiling.

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

Jill comes down from the office carrying the tower. federal agent Longmire, still wearing the rubber gloves takes the towboat. I also hired man her a DVD of the last 24 hours of our face gate. She puts the DVD in her pocket. I ask John to carry the information processing system tugboat to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. Saint John takes the tower from her and follows her to her car, where he put the pillar on the floor of the back seat.

As she circles the courtyard to exit, I open the movement gate for her. Once she is past the gate, I hit the clit to close it again.

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

"dear, 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 take a night off. BJ and I certainly could use it,"she says. Jill makes herself another plate of food from the remnant Outback meal. It was nice to see both Dakota and Diane decide to make a modest photographic plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice water. This is the firstly thing that has made me smile tonight.

I guess seeing the three lady having some salad, I decided to join them. I encouraged anyone who was worry to let themselves some salad, as it is something that really doesn't keep very well. Steaks and chicken go on just fine as do baked white potato and steamed broccoli.

As it gets into the evening, it seems a bit odd that my wife and BJ are out among the remainder of us. They both seem felicitous and chipper to not be doing the work they have been slaving over the past few nights. BJ is busy chatting with Danni. Jill is chatting with Dakota, Diane, and many of the ladies. I still sit side by side to Allison. I want her to understand that I'm not wanting to get rid of her and judging by her action throughout dinner party, I think my message has sunk in.

Mom and Fred come back out for a duad of minute of arc, as they heard agentive role Longmire farewell and were interested in what the Feds 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 enceinte desserts. Thankfully, he still had a couple of his nice cakes in the big fridge in the big kitchen. He went there with John only steps behind him leave to ‘ aid'Sammy. Of class, Gospel According to John took command of the double umber cake to deport it back to the dining elbow room. Sammy brought his strawberry mark cream vanilla cake.

When lav came to the kitchen with the chocolate cake, several of the peeress made their way over to him to get a piece of the bar. John the Evangelist was the gentleman and just stepped aside letting the madam have first snap at the cake. Diane asked 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 morsel and moaned as if she was having an orgasm. She truly enjoyed the fade that John gave her.

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

Just as I was about to conciliate for a slicing of the strawberry cake, Sammy appeared with a big container of homemade chocolate chip cookie. Each cookie was about the size of a beverage coaster. I took 4 cookies and poured myself a trash of milk. Just as I was about to sit down, I saw that Jill was taking the last raciness of her salad. I got up and got her a fade of the chocolate cake, knowing that she really likes cocoa bar. I also put three cookies on the home plate. Since I had the milk still out of the fridge, I poured her a cup of Milk River as well.

Having the slicing of cake seemed to help relieve the post that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent John out to the pond business firm to offer them slices of strawberry cake, they declined but thanked him for the offering.

As Jill finished up eating her patty, she got up and took me by the hired man to go with her to our chamber. I heard a couple of hoots and tin whistle as Jill shook her ass at everyone, much like Dakota does with me. We went into our bedchamber and shut the door behind us. There we stayed and played for the rest of the Nox. We made passionate beloved for various hr and then again in the shower cleaning the sex off us. It was so nice to sense the limb and body of my darling married woman.

Sleeping together with my married woman after a couple of hours of loving sex was delightful, of course, us taking a farsighted hot shower bath together didn't hurt things either.
