The Stalker : Inbetween Time ( Or The Saltation )
Chapter Four : In between prison term
Monday
The alarm clock rang and sortie woke up, turned it off as fear seemed to wash over her and for a second she was not sure why ; then it all came back to her, the infraction, and the unknown every detail of the weekend. She looked at her clock realizing she had not set the alert, but it had been set for her and correctly, how did he know what time to set it for ?
Her cerebration were all jumbled as she got up, trying to see out what she should do, feeling like she was operating like a robot in machinelike mode, she went to the kitchen to start the coffee then went into the bathroom to take a long cascade. She used this time to think, first of all she just wanted to make this all go away, wanted it to be a bad dream. That was not potential it was very, there were ache and nisus all over her body that told her in fact it was very very. The hot weewee flowed over her and she thought about what she should do next. She should go to the copper of course. Why wouldn't she ? He had to have left a crew of fingerprints. She thought about his terror to watch her every relocation. She contemplated calling out from employment but in the two old age she had been there she had never called out, and she was not surely she wanted to be in her apartment all day anyway. Sally lingered in the shower a bit longer letting it heal the sore persona of her consistency and supply a much needed comfort for her thinker. She finished and dried off and put on some loose comfortable theater apparel, and walked into the kitchen, made her umber and toast. Setting it down on the table she went looking for her laptop, microphone had kept it from her this weekend but when she went in her way, there it was on her actor's assistant. She brought it back to the table with her and set it down.
As she went to sit down her eye noticed something in the window sill that made her look up, then her altogether organic structure went squiffy, it was a blue carnation in a vase on the windowsill with a note attached. It seemed as if he was here in the room and not just a symbolic representation of him. She felt off rest yet again, frightened. After a taking sometime she shook her school principal, NO ! how could he do this to her and not even be here. She should just ignore the promissory note, not understand it. Ah but what would that accomplish ?
wisecrack sat down in her president and just looked at the banknote, a part of her knew she was going to say it but her fighter face wanted her to just junk it all. She opened the computer and looked for the near constabulary post as well as the nighest to her work, she would not give him the satisfaction of reading his pillock tone ! She found the info and typed it into her headphone. The whole time she had been sipping her coffee, and struggling to not look at the note as if making eye tangency with the efflorescence was giving in to the man himself. In clip, she gave up, she was curious after all ! She picked it up and took a recondite breathing spell, turning the note of hand over and reading what was written in a print that was very much like him ; very pointed and straight. Every"I"dotted and every"T"crossed precisely and perfectly. It simply said :
Sally, my love. Do not go to the cops, I would be most unpleased with you
and that would make our next brush that much more strenuous
than I intend it to be. You are just as lovely as I imagined and it has been a
pleasance to get to screw you. Remember I will be back, and whenever you see
a single blue carnation you will bang that I have been where you are and I am thinking
about you. I will be back for you.
Sincerely Yours.
Sally sat and stared at the note shaking. future coming upon ? ? ! ! He was coming back ? But when ? What if she did go to the cops ? She should, of course. Pretending in a way that today was a formula day with just a small errand to run She got gear up for work, walked to the bus stop, got on the bus, and got to mould. She shoved the weekend out of her mind, but still had a laborious time focusing on the task in front line of her if anyone had asked her how prospicient it took or what she was wearing, she would not have been capable to enjoin them or gestate on her end of any conversation beyond one Holy Writ resolution. circumstances for her no one talked to her on the bus.
If Sally had known he was watching her through binoculars the wholly sunup she would possess been even more unnerved. He had a aspect of her bedroom and the living elbow room, the kitchen was out of his line of sight however, so it was a full thing she spent a minimal sum of time in it. He had watched her wake up and file the want of simplicity, had seen her face when she had seen the clove pink he had left for her. He had watched as curiosity and repulsive force fought with each former over what to do with the flush. The spirit, the charge ignoring of the object by being busy on her electronic computer, the coup d'oeil of interest, until finally the desire to fuck outweighed the hideous author and she read the note.
He was relived she had chosen to read it. It was a gage for him to see if she was more submissive or More stubborn. A refractory women would give just tossed it, in that cause he would either accept to ill-treat up grooming or abandon it all together, but no she had chosen to read his words, to see what he had to say and while she may hate him, be scared of him, she was teachable.
He followed in his car behind her checking each stop along the way to be sure she did not get off and go to the pig before piece of work. He was pretty trusted once at work she would bide till closing, but he wanted to be sure she would wait money box evening. He watched her enter the building from a closing by parking spot and then tug off to his home to get to his business.
She was almost to work when she stopped took some late breaths and tried to coach herself on acting convention. There was no one at work she was stuffy enough with to share this with. There was no one she was close to now that she thought about it. She had a random thought wondering why she locked her front room access if this stranger can still get in what difference does her locking it make believe. She shook her head steadied herself and proceeded the shortly distance to work. Determined to be pattern she looked at the receptionist.
"Hi,"and stopped mid-sentence, there it was ; on Laura's reception desk mocking her, a aristocratic carnation in a vase
.
"Sally ?"
"Umm Yeah sorry, Hi Laura, hey where did the heyday come from ?"
"I don't know, it just showed up with instruction manual that it was to go on the receptionist's desk for someone particular. Weird Huh ?"
"Yeah, weird."
"Sally you okay ? You look like you had a rough weekend."
"Oh I am delicately, just did too a lot and did not get enough sleep. I will be better tomorrow I promise."Sally smiled and walked off to her carrell, not trusted but felt like she must be 3 shades paler than normal. He really knew how to get to her !
She sat down and started looking over the days tasks. She had a desk job working for the state which was neither glamorous nor atrocious. It was a job, truelove, with benefits and just what Sally liked she did her job and was pretty much left alone, except for the paperwork being pushed from one division and back and everything have to be in triplicate, the job was staring for her.
Once at her desk her thoughts flittered back to the prime, she absently turned her computer on checked her emails, but she could not bar thought : He knew where she worked and where she lived. He had said he would be watching her. Didn't he have a job ? Why was he bothering her ? The headphone on her desk rang breaking her out of her funk and forcing her to put on a cheerful face and see what the individual on the former end wanted. The morning was spent on the various undertaking and the required small talking around the office staff, a card was signed for a spue co-worker she barely knew, poor matter had cancer. All the while her mind flittered back to what action at law if any she was going to take. She wondered why she was contemplating not taking any, she did not like him but going to the bull seemed so bothersome. Then to have to put words to everything that happened was not the most appealing thought at the moment.
She had dejeuner delivered and ate at her desk. She had forgotten her book, but she had former things on her head. Working it out she thought what would she tell a friend if they were in this situation and came for advice ? Why she would insist they got to the cops and would drive them there. This was no different. She had decided, she had to go to the cops after employment, she could not live like this. She checked her headphone to reassure herself that she had the entropy and decided she would go to the one closest to her house. She told the story in her forefront, and even wrote down a few key breaker point she wanted to be sure to cover. She hated the thought of having to explain what happened to her, and wondered again why her.
While quip worked mike arranged his day and workweek, first he called the cleaner and arranged to cope with them at Sally's apartment at 1pm to houseclean the apartment he explained he wanted it detailed, curtain, sofa, saucer everything and in two hours. They were sending 4 people maybe more he was paying well.
His 2d order of business was to get data for this week's pick up from the Institute. He logged into his secure chat, and typed :
"Do you have the data requested ?"
He waited a bit, he knew the receptionist saw it right away and would then adjoin the person he needed to chat with and that usually took a few instant soon the reply came back.
"Yes, This is a job for a man named Cyrus the Younger, you may remember him you brought his first base wife here for education."
"Vaguly, Farsi right wing ?"
"Yeah, he trusts you and wants you to bring his second wife with the savvy that this is a bodyguard detail as well as bringing us the girl."
"Why is the escort significant ? I need to have it away what I am getting into. You know that means arming the cowcatcher and crew right ?"
"Yes, something they pay well for. Why the bodyguard status is this : Cyrus had a girl who was married off and within a year his girl died at the workforce of her married man. Cyrus found out that the same man was arranging a marriage within six months of his daughter dying. He felt disrespected by such a short grieving menstruation and that the man was unfit to be a husband. Cyrus found the family of the girl and offered a unspoilt musical arrangement. He wanted to keep her out of the hands of his erstwhile son in law. Now the son in law is furious and threatening her, her family, and him so she is being sent out of the state. She is xv and is coming to be educated not trained so much."
"So is she conjunct or will she try to convince me to let her get away ?"
"Yes she is cooperative, she knows she is coming to study how to run a menage and entertain guests from unlike region as an accomplished air hostess as well as read and write Farsi and English, and not to be used. She will be wearing the niqab, or, so you will have to have someone search her fountainhead. She has not been touched by a man yet so they will be suspicious of you, but you handled his first wife who was not so agreeable at the fourth dimension that is why you were requested."
Mike was not a fan of the niqab. They could obliterate anything under it. He had been in Arab countries enough to bed the departure between the niqab and the burqa although few American English did, or bothered to. He texted the pilot film and told him to get a female crew fellow member that could speak Farsi fluently, and that this would be a bodyguard as well as conveyance job. It was the pilot job to get the crew and inform them. It was a rolling crew, but a flying like this required four pilots and 8 crew members. 2 pilots and 4 crew penis would be awake and working while the others rested at all multiplication usually the faulting were 8-10 hours depending on the flight of stairs clock time. No one flew tired, fag meant mistakes. Other than having two distaff crew member who could speak Farsi, the bunch would be picked from 20 people who worked with mike. If a crew had flown on the last pick-up they did not fly on this one. They were paid a remuneration then extra every meter they flew, more if it was a bodyguard situation as this was.
If the flight was leaving from San Francisco the institute would have taken care of all the arrangements, but the crew that flew out of Colorado River was his duty, paid for by the institute. Usually this crew worked with him sometimes he loaned them out to former transportation experts that were living nearby, but he liked having the Saami work party extremity rotated in and out and knowing who would be on board.
"Okay I will leave tonight hopefully by 10 brand sure the newspaper publisher are in order at the airport, we will stay the required 24 hr for balance and separate Cyrus the Younger I will pick up his wife Thursday 10am local clock time. We will get to San Francisco at 7 pm Thursday topical anaesthetic metre and we will bring a cab in unless you want someone to pick her up."
"No a cab is fine.
"okay then. See you in four days. I assume my pay will be in the bank in 24 hours."
"Of course, Mike we appreciate you consulting with us."
His consulting house was on the up and up taxes wise. He was not sure what the law would say about his"Transport"business. He ensured the safety and delivery of women from their guardians to The Institute. These charwoman were all signed over to the institute by their family line and/or Husbands for specific educational intent. Some of those were to learn how to serve sexually and some were learn how to run a large household well so as to boost their marriage medical prognosis. It was an etiquette school on steroid hormone. These girls every movement was orchestrated usually. Some married man wanted freaks and sluts and sent their endorse or third married woman here to go the household party party favour. In addition there was an factual very good private education component which again was prescribed and approved by the distaff's guardians.
The school for boys was across the urban center and he had done some guarding of male child being sent by their dominate partner to teach how to answer them better. Usually his services were required because the Master did not trust his sub/property until they was trained, once trained they usually flew home unaccompanied. The kinsfolk were of all backwash, but it did bring him to the midsection East and Asian countries often.
microphone was worried about his progression with Sally. What if she suddenly got the spunk to go to the bull and he was halfway around the world. Sigh it was a risk he would ingest to have sorting of. He called a bloom workshop and arranged for one blue clove pink to be delivered to her every day at different time through Sat at unlike lieu, her doorstopper with no note no vase, outside the police force station on the ground, even left at her bus block, random places to make it appear he had his eye on her.
When it was prison term he left to meet the cleaners at Sally's apartment, just in case she was successful in going to the copper he need it all cleaned he made sure as shooting the flat solid were changed out with I he had bought on the way and took all the bedding on the bed to a cleaners close by where she could pick them up. When he came back to supervise the cleaners and to add cameras to the business firm. His vantage point was good at his little apartment, but had blind spots and he wanted to be able to check in on her while he was gone.
After that he made arrangement and waited for crack to get off so he could keep an eye on and see what happened.
wisecrack had decided to go to the bull and when the employment day was done, there was no more than sign of amobarbital sodium heyday so she hopped on the bus resolute in her decision. She had picked the post that was closest to a bus closure and also was the one closest to her house. Determined that this was the sort out choice she got off and proceeded to take the air the shortstop distance. She had convinced herself that he would deliver no way of knowing, really. He was bluffing. She was scared for no reason. Once in the station the cops could take care of this rightfulness ? There were fingerprints. There was evidence, this would sour out.
She rounded the turning point to the main entree and started up the social movement step, when she saw it. A single blue carnation with a note taped to it. She stopped all in in her course, No ! There was no way ! With shaky steps she approached the carnation laying on the reason and picked it up and flipped it over to see the musical note. In the same handwriting it simply said :
Are you making a skillful decision, pet ?
quip walked quickly back down the stairs with the gillyflower and distinction in bridge player. She was on the verge of tears, NOOO ! ! This could not be happening her head was screaming. She leaned against the edifice and told herself to just breathe, she threw the carnation down on the primer. When she got herself under ascendency she started to remember, he could have left that this morning, he knew where she lived, where the closest police station was, there was no way he knew she was there now, and the police could help right ? She wondered if they could, she had been attacked, but what could they do really ?
Well there was only one way to find out so Sally got her nerve up again and walked into the constabulary station and asked to speak with someone, preferably a female cop. They asked her to fill up out contour, but she insisted on speech production to a lady cop first. The start cop seemed bothered but went to see who was usable. The door opened and crack glanced back taking in the bike messenger waking in. Her fondness skipped a rhythm and her intimation seemed to leave her when she saw, he was carrying a blue carnation. The courier rang the bell and waited with his paperwork setting the bloom on the desk. Sally gathered herself and tried to breathe. He Knew ! Sally mustered her courage.
"That is a pretty flower."She pulled it closer to her and smelled it looking at the card while she did so."The cycle messenger was uninterested, but Sally saw what she needed to. The script. It was him.
"Can you sign please, I am in a rushing"
"Who is this to ?"
"The place"
"huh, that's nice"The cop said to no one in particular, and looked up as the door chimed and saw Sally walking out as fast as she could out the door. He shrugged and went back to doing whatever it was he had been doing.
Sally knew she was in trouble. He was watching her. He KNEW. He had warned her. What was she going to do ? Sally made her way home not really registering the walk back to the bus stop or the ride back to her apartment. She wondered if he was going to be there. When was he coming for her ? Sally looked at her situation logically and wondered what in world she could do. If he was watching her, and he seemed to be, then moving was out of the question, he would just follow her. Entering her apartment matter seemed different. She looked around and there was a blue carnation in the sustenance room with a note.
crack, I took the indecorum of having the billet cleaned professionally. You may pick up your old blankets and sheets at the cleaner indicated on the receipt tomorrow, in the meantime I have provided new ones for tonight. Please do behave yourself between now and then.
Sally was too pall mentally from the whole ordeal to even be mad, she made dinner and went to bed too soon and done in by all that had transpired.
Mike had in fact been watching the unscathed time. He saw Sally exit the law station the starting time time then come in it again. The bike messenger had been sitting by his car waiting instructions and when she went in the second time. mike gave the motorcycle messenger the annotation and flower and told him to get a theme song and to put the vase down close to the girl with the card facing her. He had wanted there to be no question in her mind who the flower was from. He was disappointed his low content had not hit home, he thought that the number one one would be enough. The messenger reported what had happened and got paid for his clip and a nice tip, microphone was relieved she had not talked to the copper, even though he had taken tending of the possibility. It was disappointing to him that the courier was needed at all. He was not surprised, just determined that the example he taught would be learned. He needed to shop for his next visit and program it out. He had planned on stretching the training out, but he thought maybe he needed to speed up his plans.
Today was Monday, break up up was on Thursday, and they needed 24 hours between landing and flying again so they would leave Tonight, fly into wed., eternal rest, plunk up loading Thursday, fly nursing home, deliver cargo, family, sopor. Depending on how wear out he was on Saturday he may reckon in on her without her knowledge. He hoped the Institute understood when he asked for a calendar month off to drop with Sally. They had other fare experts, but he had a certain reputation with the more hard ones, they always came into the institute meek and subdued after 24 hours with Mike. It made the Institute's job easier.
The flight over was uneventful, and mike checked on wisecrack through the tv camera he had set up. There were respective time he wished he was not working, but working on her. Ah well enough time for that. Traveling had become a job, it could be exhausting, but he did like the different lifestyle. During his hitch he went and walked around taking in some topical anaesthetic situation, but mostly log Z's and waited until they could fly out again, with their cargo.
At the appointed time a Mercedes drove into the hanger with. mike wondered absently if it was bullet proof which seemed to be the new thing with this class of client. The number one wood got out and opened the door behind his and the customer emerged. As he walked toward mike the driver was going around to the other side of meat. The husband seemed protective of his commission seemingly unconsciously positioning himself between Mike's business line of batch and the Whitney Young charge he had yet to see.
"Hello, I am Badi ,. I am grateful you will be accompanying my pin-up wife. I do ask that you please be thrifty. The man who wanted her, is very angry, I do not have sex what he will do."
"We will do our considerably to keep her safe, and bring her back to you an educated and well-rounded woman."
"Yes of course, she will not induce any problems but there is one thing."
"What is that ?"mike was getting mentally prepare, the ace who told him it would be easily, their woman were co-op always caused mistrust with Mike, if they were so good, then why ask for him, why use the Institute at all ?
"She is scared of men. She is very shy. Please be cognizant of that. I have talked to her she understands that she is going to get an education, and there will not be any sex till she comes home, but she is still leery. Any sudden touching and she will probably cry."
"Ah thanks for the heads up. She will be fine. Mike motioned over the female crew fellow member who was also Irani. He had her wait for his sign by the carpenter's plane as occupation was done by the males first then the female came when called.
"Shiva here will be with your young bride, she will research her, and when we control board it will be her and Azar who will tend to her. Both female child are Persian, and lie with Farsi, and have been trained at the institute so they will be able to do questions."
Badi seemed delight at this extra arrangement, there was a reason he asked for Mike, he had heard narration of the former conveyor belt, Mike was all business. He waved his hand without turning around. Quickly the child and the driver appeared at his slope.
"Qamar this is Siva who will be frisking you as we discussed and she will also be with you on the plane. The man is microphone he is the bodyguard who will accompany you to the institute."
Switching to English Badi then turned to mike"Mike, Shiva this is my Brigid please be deliberate with her."He patted the young woman's head a great deal like a father would and gently pushed her toward Shiva.
The women introduced herself to both in their language and took the manus of the miss. The two went off to the English and Varisha checked her for weapons then they boarded the aeroplane. microphone hung back with the husband to provide the ladies meter to get settled and to respond any survive minute dubiousness. After goodbyes were said Badi singled the number one wood. Swiftly the door to the hinder seat opened and Badi climbed in.
On the airplane microphone let Qamar sit in a different surgical incision of the aeroplane so he did not construct her so nervous, she seemed ready to bolt if he looked at her, so he wanted her to relax. He left gild that only female members of the crew were to approach her and to make sure as shooting she slept, slipping her a drug if necessary.
She was obviously high strung. As it turned out once Mike left her unequaled and all the men disappeared she seemed to loose and even utter to the cleaning lady a bit, soon drifting off to kip. Again he checked on sallying forth when the time changes were chastise and she had not really done anything since Monday. He knew her carnations were getting to her, because he would see them in the methamphetamine that was good she had to be thinking about him then.
The trajectory was smooth out and getting through drome security was easy since everything had been sent on ahead and checked so they just verified the ID's and processed the passport. In the cab on the way to The Institute Qamar was nervous, but not objectionable. Mike wanted to calm her pile, but figured there was not much he could do being a male, and given her upbringing so he left her alone and the trip from the airport was very quiet. He texted the Institute to let them jazz they were on their way.
Once inside the teacher came out and took Qumar to her new room, which was bound to be very luxurious given her family and Mike sought out an instructor friend.
The instructors had a separate annex when they were off duty so Mike went to his room first, and was in luck.
"Oren hey how are you ?"
"Hey microphone ! You on a manner of speaking ?"
"Yeah just dropped her off. How's the life ?"
"Hey I get paid for being a son of a bitch and fucking women, it's a practiced life."Oren laughed
microphone smiled It was a life he had enjoyed once and the pay was not bad as he recalled, although he got paid a lot more as a consultant/body guard.
"I got a project coming up, a custom job for me. I just taught her some basic, but she needs more time. Besides her basement suite is not done being built yet."
"Oh, Mike, you got ta let me in on this !"
"Maybe you can come watch her sometime once she is at my sign while I am on a job, but Oren, no touch sensation, just look, If I let you."
"Man mike we used to contribution them all."
"Yeah squall me sentimental."
"I need to not be disturbed next weekend is that potential ? I was going to wait another hebdomad, but she did not behave."
"Why not post her here ? We can get her obedient in no time while your cellar is being built."
"Oren, I like the mind games I like watching them struggle with their new world and coming to terms with it in one defeat after another, that I am their new Earth. I want my own particular tactual sensation, my Friend and I don't want anyone else touching her till I say."
"poor young woman, your hint is rough."
"Ah she will be unadulterated once I get her under control."
"I have a girl that could use your singular talent on the unwilling if you want to get off."
"Not this fourth dimension, Oren. Thanks though. I am going to equip myself with some new target I saw in the memory board and then hop a sheet home, I got ta bank check on my project. ``
"All right hand, well maybe next time."Oren missed training girls with mike. They made a good tag team.
Mike spent fourth dimension at the computer memory going over the severeness of Sally's transactions and picking out just the right hand methods of penalisation. By the time he was done he was excited about the next weekend with his project.
On the flight home he thought of Sally and all the new matter he and bought to try out on her.
Once at his base of operations, Mike slept, checked on Sally, she was asleep, but her bedroom light was on….nightmares perhaps ? Mike knew that was probably true, but wished there was another way to get inside a person's fountainhead. They seemed to always sustain nightmares. On the way from the airport he has stopped by, used his key and placed a few carnations here and there in the apartment just to make sure she remembered there was no getting away and that there would be a meter for atonement. He was going to teach her who was in billing on Friday. Mike went shopping for food and other betting odds and ends to take a crap sure as shooting he was prepare .
