CHAPTER 1

Before Dakota came down from the office, Amy came scuffling out of her sleeping accommodation. Apparently, she was up recently observation motion-picture show. 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 ready shower bath and then aid on the phones. I sent her to get that shower as I would need a unsleeping Amy.

Jill was pacing back and Forth River. I couldn't Tell if she was worried or if she was thinking about her next motility. BJ was pretty often her tail. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the next step for them might be.

The back threshold opened and the seven from the studio and the kitty house filed in. Allison wouldn't look at me. I directed everyone to put their stuff in the sleeping room 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 serious as both boy kept looking at the flat coat. 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 and nonsense down and came back down to the kitchen.

While people were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big lot of newspaper. She set them on the kitchen table and headed back upstair. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree locations were printed out, each emplacement listed the address, the whole bit, the phone, and fax number as well as the electric current General Manager's name. I flipped through the stack and took off about 10 pages and began handing them out.

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

"If I hand anyone locations that are Dame Rebecca West of the Mississippi, please set them aside and move on. Look at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to give you a dissimilar set of 10 varlet,"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 cover what should be said,"OK, everyone here's what I would like you to say to the contact lens unit of measurement. ‘ howdy Mr. Ian Douglas Smith, I'm David from Jaxson, Inc. home position. We're aware that you currently have no figurer system. We've had a technical glitch and our IT section is working hard on fixing the issue as quickly as potential. When the organisation is restored you will take in a subject matter that says our system is back online. Until you receive this message please take in your people stay off our arrangement. Do you have any questions at this distributor point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your aid,"Then you should hang up and move on to the next unit.

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

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

"Absolutely ! That is groovy of you guys,"I tell the two chefs. I see both CG boy and Allison not looking at me. I'm sure that Fred lit his nephews up and well, Allison, I can enjoin she's nervous about what will happen. Aurora is just sitting there with her ten pages acting as nothing has happened. I'll address this effect when things are much more settled down. The porno twins and Belinda seem excited to participate as they have note inking pad, pens and their mobile phone telephone set plugged into the paries to keep them charged.

My phone buzzes. It's agentive role Heidi Longmire.

"Hello Mr. Greene, this is broker Longmire. I believe you spoke with Special Agent Fernandez and he let you know that I would be coming by to cull up your laptop. Please control me you have not opened that email,"she says to me.

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

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

I head to the surety camera in the kitchen to check until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the necessary buttons to open the gate. I watch her pull the car into the courtyard and I poke the buttons to close the gate immediately after she pulls in.

I pick up the laptop and baron cord and walk of life over by the front line threshold. As I wait for her to come to the door, I hear my group making phone calls and almost repeating the speech exactly that I gave them to say.

There is a belt at the door.

"Who is it ?"I ask.

"It's agent Longmire,"she says.

"Please show me your credentials,"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 come inside.

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

"I have my people calling each social unit east of the Mississippi to let them have intercourse that we have a computer emergence and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the General Managers to prevent their people off the organization until avail is restored. Right now, we are working on the hotel section, but as soon as we have More inter-group communication data printed out I'll schism the chemical group half working on the hotel partition and half on the eating place side,"I tell her. She sees the laptop but before I paw it over to her I ask my enquiry,"Agent, are you married or in a human relationship ?"

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

"Not to me, it's not. I saw you running matter when we had the shooting of your factor here. police chief Perez showed up and you turned the investigation over to him. I asked peculiar agent Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a firmly actor and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to invite you to dinner to suffer someone who works just as hard as you do. He owns his own business and, in my pass, I think the two of you would be compatible. However, let me be clear up, I'm not matchmaking, I'm just doing instauration. If cipher happens then that's amercement, but if you work as operose as I think you work then maybe having somebody to babble about workplace 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 time to go looking for person to intrust for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the local pub to pick up mortal that I can't check out ahead of fourth dimension. Yeah, I'll be well-chosen to go to dinner with whomever. One diminished promissory note, I'm allergic to bell capsicum pepper plant. Doesn't subject the color just campana Madagascar pepper in general. Here's my card, let me pen my personal cadre phone number on the spine as I don't want to get in difficulty for using the agency cadre phone for personal business,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her number on the back.

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

I call Donna.

"Donna, how are affair going ?"

"wellspring, David I'm sword lily you gave me lavatory. He's been a big help calming people down that are here. He is also taking call escalations and handling frantic customer. He's sorting the manual reservations into 27 atomic pile, one for each state and one mickle for Evergreen State DC. I kind of feel useless he's doing so much for the vociferation center,"Donna tells me.

"Well, then we made a unspoiled call sending him to your group. We're making claim 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 order it's a skittish laugh.

"I'll touch base with you later, proceed working. Oh, one More thing how many people do you deliver working ?"

"right field now, 75, but in about 90 minute the second shift arrives and that will remove us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"

"I just wanted to hold check on how much help you have there since you are doing things manually. If you feel you need to a greater extent the great unwashed, then phone them in. We'll study 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 down. The scheme is virtually down so we are taking arriere pensee for limo manually. We're explaining that we have a system topic but not to worry as our IT department is working on it as fast as possible. So far everyone seems OK with that explanation,"she tells me. I exhale a bit, as we have two businesses 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 demand the headphone from her.

"hullo, this is Saint David Graham Greene. Whom am I speaking to ?"I ask.

"This is Mark recitation. I'm a territorial dominion managing director for a Pinetree dominion in Dallas. What the hell is going on with our system of rules ?"

"Mr. indication, we have a large issue with our calculator system of rules for every computer Orient of the Mississippi River. Did Amy not differentiate you that we have a computer issue and that the IT department is working on the issue ?"I ask him in an vexed voice.

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

"Please tell 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 necessitate to stay a bit yearner tonight,"I tell him rather than detonate on him as we are quite vulnerable.

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

"Well thank you. I'll be in speck sometime over the next few twenty-four hour period,"I say to him. In my head word, I don't sympathize how the district managing director think it is OK to go household at 3:30 pm. After we get through this major outcome, I'm going to rattle a few cages to remind them that since they are on pay, they must work a lower limit of 45 60 minutes a hebdomad. As I count, this district managing director is working a amount of 6 hours a day times 5 daytime and that comes to 30 hours. He's a full phase of the moon 15 hour short-change and being paid for 45 but only working 30. That is going to change rather quickly. I have my plan B ready for my unannounced visit back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the Saame return and need to look at management data file, but with the FBI having my laptop, that will have to await a bit.

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

I let my earpiece sit for a bit as I plug it into the courser in the kitchen. I see people making big strides with the pages that I gave them. Dakota comes down the steps with another prominent packet of papers for making calls.

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

I see people putting their phone down. Bobby and Sammy are chatting quietly about one of them making tiffin for everyone. I'm quite proud of the porn Twins and Belinda, they look like they have made the most shout as their stack of newspaper publisher is much larger than anyone else.

When everyone ends their flow calls, I divide the table in one-half so some may get hotel calls and others will draw restaurant calls. I put the porn twins and Belinda to begin making eating house calls.

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

I call capital of Massachusetts marketplace to order dejeuner for the vociferation shopping centre and happy limo and total darkness Car Limo.

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

"Christmas carol, I want to shit three big rescript. How quickly can they be ready ?"I ask.

"Well 5-15 sandwiches about 35-40 mo forever 5 sandwiches add 10 more minutes,"she says. I think to myself that it will be dinner time before all the solid food is quick. Carol, that's all I needed to know, I'll birdsong you another meter,"and give ear up the phone.

Next, I call El Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 the great unwashed, how long would it take and what would be the delivery fee for it going to two dissimilar localization. The delightful madam tells me it will take about one hour to throw all the dejeuner 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 dame gives me a terms plus the delivery fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the driver. She asked the computer address and some other apt query, such as do the edifice have a secure entrance, whom to hollo if the driver can't find a parking smear, and is there anyone who can meet the number one wood at the door since the order is so vauntingly. I answer the questions and she tells me an order number. I thank her and go bank check on my phone callers.

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

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

Surprising to me is that the erotica twin and Belinda are making vast strides with their call lean. When they run across an incorrect telephone number, they dial the fax line of business to see if that would be answered. If that stock isn't answered, they circle the issue and hand the sheet to Dakota for her to track down the castigate number.

Everyone is doing a slap-up job. I pull out some cups and fill them with ice pee for the gentlewoman. They take the cups and drink in the weewee down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to have sure my darling is drinking enough water.

CHAPTER 2

I get a call from Donna ; she is completely surprised that lunch showed up. I told her that I appreciated all the piece of work they were doing and to please name sure as shooting that Saint John gets at least one lunch, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking care of the staff.

A few minutes later I get a call from Paula thanking me for lunch for her mass. I tell her that I appreciate all the hard oeuvre that her grouping is doing.

The headphone calls go on for a couple more hours. The lunch that Sammy made was yummy. The phone group stopped, and we all enjoyed the nutrient, but there were portion of conversations about how people reacted to the earpiece calls.

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

"I guess I'm in trouble. Do you need me to go out ?"She says in a shoot down manner.

"Why would I need you to impress out ?"I ask.

"Because I think that you're mad at me,"she says.

"Should I be mad or is there a reasonable account for what happened ?"I asked.

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

"Allison, as I see it, you violated the one thing I asked you to not do. Film any of the family or playgroup and you did that. Do I not take care of you ? Was what I asked to unmanageable ? I'm at a loss, please excuse how we got to what I found you doing with the CG male child and sunrise,"I say to her.

Her oculus tear up. She's finding it hard to speak and hold back the sobbing. 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 give birth done ?"I ask her again.

"Jacques Louis David, I'm so regretful. Aurora came to me asking to hold a private film of a phantasy of hers. She brings the two CG boys along. The porn twins tell the son and sunrise that they should pass water porn together, that it will be fun and exciting,"she starts to recount me.

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

"break of day kept telling me that she isn't persona of the playgroup, that she is just an old girlfriend. I believed her. I shouldn't have, but I did. I still have the altogether thing on the photographic camera. What do you want me to do with it ?"she asks.

"Plug your camera into the protection arrangement and make me five DVD. Once for break of the day, one for each of the CG boys, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.

At this point, her eyes are a steady stream of split. I pull the sleeve of my tee shirt out and pass over her eyes. She really looks miserable, her heart all puffy, her nozzle running, and her breathing a bit falter.

"Allison let's call this a wretched font of judgment. But please understand, even if they beg you on their workforce and human knee you will not film anyone that lives or stays here in the Chateau. I hope you understand what I'm telling you. NO ONE gets filmed, without my OK. My house, my rules. Got it ?"I ask her. She is barely able to intercommunicate 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 legal injury and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her head and walks away going to see 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 impertinence and tell her to clear the DVD that I had asked for. She picks up the camera and plug away it into the security system 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 bread and butter room to shoot the breeze for a couple of minutes please,"I turn and walk to the living room. They follow me.

"guy wire, 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 pornography with Aurora and having Allison film it. Was I not clear up, week ago when you two came to go with me and the kinfolk that no one from our grouping gets filmed without my OK ? I don't want anyone of the playgroup making porn. That's the character of thing that brings undesirable attention to the house. Was I not light about that when you two moved in here ?"I ask of them.

"Yes, sir you were clear. 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 guy wire tells me.

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

"Because it sounded like fun. Our girlfriend told us that making erotica can be fun and exciting,"the other one tells me.

"Please don't order me that you're now blaming your action mechanism on the twins,"I say to them.

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

Allison comes over to me and reach me 5 DVD record. I had one each to the CG son. They sheepishly accept the record.

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

"Um, we would prefer 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 demand 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 boys accepts the DVD but just holds it staring at it. The other boy doesn't even look at the DVD. I know that asking them to give one of the DVDs to their uncle will embarrass them and him. I hold my deal out and ask for the disk back.

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

"Gentlemen, please don't do this character of thing again without checking with me. If you want to have Allison film you and whomever, that's exquisitely with me, but not here not on these land, got it ?"I say to them in a very unforgiving personal manner. They both shake their foreland in agreement and once again apologize.

"Gentlemen, please think back you are a 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 dayspring to come up to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.

Both get up and go over to her. She finishes her phone call up and base on balls 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 sign of the zodiac,"I say to her. Her eyes get declamatory and I see she is now pee-pee off.

"Oh, you're jealous of me choosing the two guy rope to get sex with. I'm an adult. I'm a arise cleaning woman and can choose to induce sex with or not have sex with anyone I choose,"she tells me.

"Aurora, you are absolutely even out. However, you violated one of my few rules here. But clearly, you don't charge. So, it's an light choice, you have until tonight to pack your stuff and leave. I'll vociferation you a cab when you're prepare to go,"I tell her in a quiet non-threatening voice.

"Fuck you. I'm done with this motherfucker. Your rules are dolt. I don't live here so they don't pertain to me. You should get that through your thick head,"she barks at me. I see a couple of the earphone chemical group turning to check. Dakota alteration tooshie to the end of the dining room board, where I usually sit.

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

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

"Your cab will be here in just a few minutes. I'll let you go outside the logic gate to wait for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to take you back to your own family. I hope you have a good life history,"I say to her again in a tranquilize fashion. She is fierce now and is stomping around. I open the presence door for her and let her walk outside into the courtyard cussing and swearing at me. When she gets to the security gate, I poke the button to have it get down opening. When she goes through the partially open 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 sunniness 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 boys and dayspring. The text was from Rob. It read"organization FIXED. EVERYTHING IS book binding UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS treatment ABOUT UPGRADING THINGS IN OUR SYSTEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM natural event AGAIN. GOOD Nox, ROB ”.

I read the text to everyone and the all room cheers. I tell the pond menage gals and the CG boys to head back to their house.

I open the security measure shutters on the keister but only the flat coat floor.

Sammy and Bobby want to take 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 room chose Outback. I told them to write down what they wanted to eat, and Dakota will hollo it in. She looked storm that I assigned this to her to get done. She smiles and blows me a kiss.

I hustle on a higher floor to the office to let Jill experience 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 party.

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

CHAPTER 3

When the dinner party from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the piteous delivery boy like a shark circle a swimmer.

I put the food on the dining room table and evidence everyone to dig in. virtually of the lady 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 nutrient was here, and they need to get along down before whoremonger gets home.

I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some quickly math to ensure that we had enough food for everyone, including the ones at the Hawk, the song center, and the limo companies. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates matter, but she has done a wonderful job at teaching Saint John the Apostle to foresee both payoff and fixes.

As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy sort the Sir Frederick Handley Page into two piles, hotel pile, and restaurant atomic pile. I make the decision that we need to have a overlord listing here at the sign for future problems.

My phone bombination, its Agent Longmire.

"howdy Agent, what do I owe this earphone call ?"

"Mr. Greene, I'm really glad you didn't open that email. Our technical school moved that email into a blank shell calculator and it fried the intemperate parkway in about 45 endorsement. It's a technology that we haven't seen used in quite a patch,"she tells me.

"I'm going to take a guess that you believe that it belongs to that Mexican drug trust. 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 case that came to your security gate trying to get in. Agent Fernandez tells me you can make a DVD of them. If that is true, may I ask you for a party favour to make us a couple of those DVDs please ?"she asks.

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

"Um, can't I just transmit another agentive role ?"

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

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

"That sounds howling. I look forward to seeing you, factor Longmire. Have a good Nox,"I say to her as we end the call.

I decide to dial up Patrick, first light's political boss. In my psyche, this might be a hard speech sound call but I'm ready for virtually anything after today.

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

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

"Um, WOW, did you ever piss off sunrise. I've never seen her so mad and boy o boy does she not let lady-like words 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 delightful dame who works as many hour a week as you do. I think, at least in my head, that you two might be well suited for each former. However, if you're in a relationship, then leave I asked, but if you're not, then my married woman and I would like to hold you two to dinner. We will do the introductions. We'll have a nice dinner and if you and she are concern, you can exchange phone numbers. Jill and I are only offering you dinner party and an founding. auditory sensation like something that you might be willing to do ?"I ask.

There's a yearn pause. Just before I say something Patrick says,"Yeah, that sounds like a nice eve. What kind of eating house would this be, as I'm not much for the unit suit of clothes thing,"he says to me.

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

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

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

"Darling, we are going to be taking two the great unwashed out to dinner soon, one of my intromission dinners, do you have a druthers 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 convey care 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 header back downstairs. Once there, I hear respective vocalization, everyone from the mortarboard has made it home plate. Paula and Donna, along with John have all arrived as well.

Mom and Fred excuse themselves from the radical. I think that Mom hasn't worked that laborious in a farsighted, foresighted sentence and she is just plain fag out. Fred has made her a dinner collection plate and is carrying it behind her as they head to her bedroom.

"Hey, Mom. Thank you for all the intemperately 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 way. I see her snow me a kiss through the air as they shut the door behind them. In my head, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sort of taking the nanna lieu giving some of the young girls'advice and for the older ace like Paula, she listens when they have interrogation. Mom will have a drinking glass of wine with some of the ladies, something she is probably enjoying. I make no credit of Bob as she is enjoying biography and there is no need to get her emotions all stirred up about being a widow.

I head over to the kitchen, where the group is hanging out. John is eating like a man who hasn't had nutrient in days. First, he attacked the Caesar salad, which surprised virtually everyone. From there he took not one, but two sirloin steaks, a large baked potato, and some broccoli. He loaded the white potato vine with butter, work ointment, and Sir Francis Bacon. Then he just sat down at the dining room table and began to eat. He didn't say a Word of God about the day, but I am very proud of him. He probably is the intellect the call center went as well as it did. In my head, he is really showing planetary house of making undecomposed decisions and helping everything we have going on.

I sit down in one of the dining room chairman, I get kissed from Jennifer, Paula, and Donna as they are picking a hot seat at the tabular array to eat their Outback dinner. Diane gets her collection plate and sits down succeeding to Gospel According to John.

I see Allison sitting at the former end of the table. She is eating and not participating in any of the discussions going on. She looks up at me and then backs down at her food. I make myself a collection plate and go sit by her.

"Interesting day today, eh ?"I ask trying to lighten 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 component 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 accept this conversation with her without her sobbing.

I pull my hot seat right up adjacent to her. I put my arms around her and displume her in tightly to me. I just hold back her as she tries to contain the tears. I don't say a password ; I just concur her. We probably sit there for about 9 or 10 arcminute before she has finally gotten ascendency of her emotions.

As she lifts her foreland off my shoulder, I lean in and kiss her. She responds kissing me as well. I begin to caress the back of her question as we embrace. I hear her purr a bit in my ear, which makes me smile. I lean back and see that she is now smiling a bit, not a big smile, but a smile none the lupus erythematosus. She goes back to eating her dinner party and finally starts participating in our group word of the integral day.

As I listen, I hear a family-like campaign to overcome the upshot that were presented to us today. I need to spend some clock time on the telephone with Rob, what will it demand to protect our system ? Does it demand new servers ? Are there firewalls that can't be broken ? Is there software that will facilitate protect from an invasion ? Are there triggers for unauthorised multitude ? I have lots of questions for Rob, but I want to generate him a few hours of sleep first.

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

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

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

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

"Let's go delay the front gate out. I hit the security measure lights, which lights the court up like a baseball stadium. I unlock the social movement door and whoremonger and I step outside. I hear Dakota tell us to be careful. No one is at the gate, but there is something sitting on the primer. Gospel According to John and I approach it slowly. King 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 see at the box without touching it.

He tells me he can't secernate what is in it and will not try to move it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their shooter on their hip. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them distribute with it. I agree and pull out my cell phone and dial up 911. I explain to the emergency dispatcher what is going on and that three guy wire of Latino backgrounds have left a box at our nominal head logic gate and we are unsure if it is safe to open or not. The operator tells me to not touch the box and whole should be at the household in just a couple of hour.

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

It takes the turkey police squad about another 20 minutes before they show up. Once they do, it takes them a few more minutes deploying their robot. The golem picks up the box and takes it down the service road. Once it is away from everyone, the automaton opens the box. Nothing happens. The Sargent in cathexis yell at me to amount 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 head decorated to seem like me. I ask if he's for certain that there is no explosive material, the Sargent tells me that they will make the header back to the police force post and x-ray it and dust it for fingermark. He also told us that the forensic team will skim the box and agree it for the rest of volatile textile. I watched as the automaton took the box and loaded it into a constabulary van.

I thanked the Sargent for his team's backbreaking body of work and asked when I will get a copy of the report, he told me it would be a duet of days, but they would make sure that I got a copy. After about an hr, they packed up all their stuff and left.

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

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

I dial up Fernandez. It rings a span of times before it goes to voicemail. I tell him on voice mail that we have, well Jill has, another one of those emails and that we are not opening it or touching it. I ask Jill to flex off her computer and unplug it. She heads back upstairs and does just that. As I begin to worry about this new email, I wonder if maybe I should be using a public use electronic computer, like the I they have at the public library. I'll chit 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 public figure and the house savoir-faire handwritten on it, with no replication savoir-faire and the postage stamp was that of an American Flag, but it was upside down, a sign of distress.

I took the missive to the kitchen, where I retrieved a sharp skin knife from the butcher stoppage to open this missive. Slowly and carefully, I slid the sharpness of the leaf blade along the edge of the back flapping. 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 sorting of tripwire. I didn't see any, nor did I feel any. I decided to take the envelope out back by the pool. I figured if there is some sort of explosive cloth, I can cast aside it into the body of water. As I pulled the slope of the envelope apart, I see that there is a musical composition of paper inside the envelope folded in a tri-fold manner. I gently pull the theme out of the envelope, setting the envelope down on the pool deck.

looking for carefully at the piece of trifold paper, I began to extend it. On the side of the paper is quarrel that are obviously cut out from mag and glued on the paper. I read the note of hand. It says,"We asked you nicely the starting time time to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a second base sentence, and again you refused. Now, someone close to you, that is important to you will die before the end of the calendar week. Maybe that will get you to pay. Trouble is coming and coming soon"

I sit and stare at this letter. I'm not sure how to respond. Trying not to have-to doe with 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 support elbow room sofa. I dial up Fernandez, it goes to voicemail. I hang up and dial him again, and again it goes to voice mail. I decide to dial up Agent Longmire.

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

"agentive role Longmire, this is David Graham 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 letter ?"

"Yes, I held onto the sharpness of the envelope and used a paring knife to open the envelope. Once it was open, I carefully pulled the alphabetic character out, trying not to advert the newspaper publisher but I'm sure that I did. I'm really not trusted 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 pair of tweezers to pick 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,"factor 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 organisation go back to midnight and make a DVD of the front man gate from midnight until about 5 minutes ago. I know that there is something there for the FBI to pursue.

My thinker immediately goes to Dakota or Jill as the fair game. I gather the total family back in the TV room to discuss this new threat.

CHAPTER 4

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

"Right now, we have a threatening letter claiming that because I didn't pay the extortion money that they asked, individual 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 party. agentive role Longmire is on her way over here to collect the letter, the gasbag, and a DVD of our security measure camera for the past 24 hours,"I tell everyone.

I see the care in the heart of my house. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's voice behind me asking me a interrogation,"David, didn't you mention that you had 4 hombre from the Secret Service bequeath to be your escort and Jill's ? Maybe you need to engage them. I would also suggest that no one drives to work alone. We should probably pair off up and those who have a express permission should start carrying their weapon for refuge,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a completely bunch of sense.

"Fred, that is a good idea. Does anyone else have any ideas about how we can keep every one of the class safety ?"I ask the room.

Jennifer speaks first,"Maybe those of us who work at the Saame berth, such as the Hawk should all ride in one fomite, say trick's truck or my motortruck. Both trucks have tinted windows, so coming out of the garage, it would be unmanageable for the bad guy cable to see who is in the vehicle,"she says.

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

Dakota joins the conversation,"I think you need to take in your new PR person announce to the mass medium that individual is trying to shake you down by threatening you. Announce that both the FBI and the local constabulary are involved

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

"I like all of these ideas. Let me just say that this threat against one of you makes me worry. You all know that you mean the cosmos to me and I don't want to risk even one life in this house. I just don't know what the proper move it to protect you,"I say to the room.

"David, we're not children. We are a house and will see each other's backs until we know for indisputable all is rubber,"lavatory says to me. I know he's redress, but I'm not willing to risk anyone. My mind begins to question if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut William Tell me ‘ HELL NO ’, which is the road I'm taking now.

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

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

"You should take paid senor. Now you are down one of your group. Pay up or you'll be down another,"the someone on the other end of the speech sound Call says to me in a Hispanic 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 dwelling house and watch on the ladies and Fred's nephews,"I say to the room. lav hops up and heads outside to the pool house.

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

She picks up her phone and begins dialing. Ronda answer on the first of all band. 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 cart my ass into bed again. Jill giggled and asked,"Do you think about sex all the sentence ?"

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

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

John comes back into the star sign telling me that all three noblewoman are in the pool house 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 cage ? Either way, I put in another call to particular Agent Fernandez. Again, it goes the right way to voicemail.

My phone ring, it's Agent Longmire. I know she's here to pick up the varsity letter. I check the gate camera and see her car. I poke the clit to open the gate, she pulls in and I poke the necessary button to close it right behind her. I wait for her to come to the front threshold.

"Agent Longmire, skillful to see you, please follow inside,"I say to her.

"Do you take this letter ?"She asks.

"Yes, and I have another computer upshot. This sentence it's on my wife's computer. We shut it off and am make to return you the hard drive tug to take with you. I'm not sure what we should be doing, we still live by the electronic computer and we need to be able to entree our system. Any suggestions ?"I ask the agent.

"Well, you'll get your laptop back tomorrow. We installed a broadcast that will grant you another layer of security measure. However, we also have installed a trigger guard. If you receive anything from the sources of that hold out email, our political program will proceed whatever was sent into a disunite file and transmit it to our IT group,"she says to me. This idea makes me grinning. 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 listing of where the e-mail was sent from and their platform will continually search for anything from them again.

Jill goes upstairs to the office to play down her computer tower to hand it off to broker Longmire. While Jill is upstairs, I get the envelope and carefully manus it to Longmire. She puts on a pair of gum elastic gloves and puts the envelope in an evidence bag and sealskin it up putting her initials on the front.

She asks about why Saint John 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 free for the meeting dinner party."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 obliterate for the rest of my animation here in the house. They might get me to change my routine for a day or two at the most, but that's all. Now, when are you available for dinner ?"I persist.

Longmire pulls out her personal cell phone to see at her calendar. She gives me various twenty-four hours that she thinks will put to work. I grab my phone and put these day in the notes section of my phone and mark it on the calendar. Looking at the twenty-four hour period she gave me I pick one and ask her if she is OK with that day. She thinks about it for a instant or two, then agrees to the day.

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

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

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

"OK, Mr. Greene, you are persistent, aren't you ? Yes, sending a car to pluck me up would be fine. However, I think you want to suffer me in a limousine, so I don't try to leave early,"she says to me smiling.

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

Jill comes down from the agency carrying the tower. broker Longmire, still wearing the rubber gloves takes the tower. I also hired hand her a DVD of the end 24 hours of our front end gate. She puts the DVD in her sack. I ask John to carry the calculator tower to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. toilet takes the towboat from her and follows her to her car, where he put the tower on the storey of the back seat.

As she circles the court to give-up the ghost, I open the front gate for her. Once she is past the logic gate, I hit the push to close it again.

Jill turns and takes a tooshie at the dining room tabular array. I guess taking her computer column put her at a standstill.

"love, should we go out and buy a new information processing system 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 home of food for thought from the leftover Outback meal. It was overnice to see both Dakota and Diane decide to have a small plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice pee. This is the first thing that has made me smile tonight.

I guess seeing the three peeress having some salad, I decided to link up them. I encouraged anyone who was interested to ingest themselves some salad, as it is something that really doesn't keep open very well. Steaks and chicken keep just fine as do baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.

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

Mom and Fred come back out for a distich of hour, as they heard Agent Longmire leave and were interested in what the federal official had to say. I updated them and they seemed to experience like affair were OK at the Chateau. Fred looked around for one of Sammy's not bad desserts. Thankfully, he still had a dyad of his courteous patty in the big fridge in the big kitchen. He went there with John only steps behind him willing to ‘ assistance'Sammy. Of course of study, King John took ascendance of the treble burnt umber cake to persuade it back to the dining room. Sammy brought his strawberry cream vanilla cake.

When John came to the kitchen with the chocolate cake, several of the ma'am made their way over to him to get a slice of the cake. John was the gentleman and just stepped aside letting the peeress have initiatory blastoff at the cake. Diane asked John to get her a slice of the strawberry cake. When he gave her a plate with a slice on it, Diane took a raciness and moaned as if she was having an sexual climax. She truly enjoyed the slice that John gave her.

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

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

Having the slices of cake seemed to help relieve the situation that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent John the Divine out to the pocket billiards firm to offer them slices of strawberry patty, they declined but thanked him for the offering.

As Jill finished up eating her cake, she got up and took me by the hand to go with her to our bedchamber. 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 sleeping accommodation and shut the doorway behind us. There we stayed and played for the eternal rest of the night. We made passionate beloved for respective 60 minutes and then again in the shower cleaning the sex off us. It was so nice to feel the arms and trunk of my darling wife.

quiescence together with my wife after a couple of hours of loving sex was delicious, of course, us taking a long hot cascade together didn't hurt things either.
