CHAPTER 1
Before Dakota came down from the office, Amy came scuffling out of her bedroom. Apparently, she was up late observation movies. The one I saw before going to bed was only one of three that the gang watched. I sat her down and gave her the update about what had happened. She looked like a lost puppy because this was not something that we had discussed as a means of security.
She asked if she could go call for a prompt shower bath and then help on the headphone. I sent her to get that shower as I would need a wide-awake Amy.
Jill was pacing back and forth. I couldn't tell if she was worried or if she was thinking about her next move. BJ was pretty a great deal her tincture. They sat down together and began discussing their ideas of what the succeeding step for them might be.
The back door opened and the seven from the studio and the pool menage filed in. Allison wouldn't face 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 well as both boys kept looking at the ground. dayspring sat nervously at the kitchen mesa, not really looking at me. The porno twins went upstairs to the room that they had chosen to put their clobber down and came back down to the kitchen.
While the great unwashed were milling around, Dakota came downstairs with a big stack of papers. She set them on the kitchen table and headed back upstairs. I flipped through them to see that all the Pinetree locations were printed out, each location listed the address, the whole routine, the sound, and fax number as well as the current superior general Manager's name. I flipped through the slew and took off about 10 pageboy and began handing them out.
Since it didn't really matter what locations you ended up with, I just took the top 10 pages then the next 10 and so on.
"If I deal anyone location that are Mae West of the MS, please set them aside and move on. look at what I'm handing you right now and see if I need to consecrate you a different set of 10 pages,"I tell the group.
One of the CG boys had pages for Arkansas, I took those stake 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 unit. ‘ Hello Mr. Smith, I'm David from Jaxson, Inc. home authority. We're aware that you currently have no computing device arrangement. We've had a technical bug and our IT department is working hard on fixing the issue as quickly as potential. When the arrangement is restored you will receive a message that says our system is back online. Until you receive this message please have your multitude stay off our scheme. Do you have any questions at this point ? That's wonderful. Thank you for your assistance,"Then you should hang up and actuate on to the next unit.
"Does anyone give birth any questions 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 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 severalise she's spooky about what will go on. Aurora is just sitting there with her ten Thomas Nelson Page acting as nothing has happened. I'll address this proceeds when matter are much more ensconce down. The porn twins and Belinda seem excited to enter as they have note pads, pen and their cell sound plugged into the wall to keep them charged.
My sound bombilation. It's Agent Heidi Longmire.
"hullo Mr. Graham Greene, this is Agent Longmire. I believe you spoke with particular factor Fernandez and he let you acknowledge that I would be coming by to pluck up your laptop. Please ensure me you have not opened that e-mail,"she says to me.
"Agent Longmire, the laptop is closed and unplugged from the paries. It is fix to be handed off to you when you get here. How far away are you ?"I ask her.
"I'm coming down your service road right now,"she says.
"OK, then I'll waiting until I see your car and then open the gate,"I say.
I head to the certificate camera in the kitchen to watch out until I see her car. When I do see it, I poke the necessary clit to unfold the gate. I watch her draw out the car into the court and I poke the clitoris to fill up the gate immediately after she pulls in.
I pick up the laptop and index cord and walk over by the front door. As I wait for her to get along to the door, I hear my grouping making phone calls and almost repeating the speech exactly that I gave them to say.
There is a knock at the door.
"Who is it ?"I ask.
"It's Agent Longmire,"she says.
"Please render me your certificate,"I say to her.
I open the room access just a few inches and see her holding her FBI ID. I open the doorway the remainder of the way and let her come inside.
"Um, Mr. Graham Greene, what is going on here ?"she asks.
"I have my people calling each unit eastern United States of the Mississippi to let them bang that we have a computer issue and are working on it as fast as we can. They are asking the General Managers to keep their people off the arrangement until table service is restored. Right now, we are working on the hotel partition, but as soon as we have more meet information printed out I'll split the group one-half working on the hotel sectionalisation and half on the eating house face,"I tell her. She sees the laptop but before I paw it over to her I ask my doubtfulness,"agent, are you splice or in a family relationship ?"
"That's kind of personal, isn't it. Mr. Greene ?"
"Not to me, it's not. I saw you running things when we had the shooting of your broker here. skipper Perez showed up and you turned the investigation over to him. I asked Special factor Fernandez about you and he tells me that you are a hard worker and very dedicated to the FBI. I would like to ask over you to dinner to meet soul who works just as concentrated as you do. He owns his own patronage and, in my point, I think the two of you would be compatible. However, let me be clear, I'm not matchmaking, I'm just doing introductions. If nothing happens then that's amercement, but if you work as unvoiced as I think you work then maybe having someone to talk about piece of work to might be of stake to you. If not, well then you got a squeamish dinner out of it. Have I scared you off ?"I ask her.
"Um, well……. I guess it's alright. I do work a lot and really have no meter to go looking for someone to trust for a relationship. It's not like I'm going down to the topical anaesthetic pub to beak up mortal that I can't check out ahead of time. Yeah, I'll be happy to go to dinner with whomever. One small note, I'm allergic to bell peppers. Doesn't topic the color just bell peppers in general. Here's my add-in, let me write my personal cell phone telephone number on the back as I don't want to get in trouble for using the agency cell phone for personal business,"she says to me as she pulls out a pen and writes her number on the back.
"Thank you, broker. Here's the laptop,"I say as I hand her the computer. She puts the laptop into an evidence bag and seals it. I open the front door for her and out she goes. I go back to the certificate arrangement and poke the clitoris to open the gate and check her leave.
I call Donna.
"Donna, how are things going ?"
"Well, St. David I'm gladiola you gave me John. He's been a big supporter calming the great unwashed down that are here. He is also taking anticipate escalations and handling frantic customers. He's sorting the manual reservations into 27 piles, one for each State and one pile for Washington DC. I kind of flavor useless he's doing so much for the shout heart,"Donna tells me.
"Well, then we made a good outcry sending him to your 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 touch basis with you later, keep working. Oh, one more thing how many the great unwashed do you have working ?"
"right hand now, 75, but in about 90 hour the mo shift arrives and that will take us to about 200. Why do you ask ?"
"I just wanted to keep chit on how much service you have there since you are doing things manually. If you feel you need more than people, then call them in. We'll employment 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 limousine job ?"
"Really slow. The system is virtually down so we are taking qualification for limos manually. We're explaining that we have a system issue but not to worry as our IT section 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 job doing ok manually.
I hear Amy behind me telling someone that I'm on the phone.
I end my call with Paula and walk over to Amy and gently train the phone from her.
"hello, this is David Greene. Whom am I speaking to ?"I ask.
"This is stigma Reading. I'm a district manager for a Pinetree district in Dallas. What the underworld is going on with our system ?"
"Mr. Reading, we have a great topic with our computer arrangement for every computer due east of the MS. Did Amy not tell you that we have a computer 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 seem at yesterday's routine 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 postulate to stay a bit thirster tonight,"I tell him rather than explode on him as we are quite vulnerable.
I hear a prospicient pause before I get an result,"OK, I guess I can stay since its only one Night,"he tells me.
"Well thank you. I'll be in touch sometime over the following few days,"I say to him. In my head, I don't understand how the district handler think it is OK to go home at 3:30 pm. After we get through this John Roy Major issue, I'm going to rattle a few John Milton Cage Jr. to prompt them that since they are on earnings, they must play a minimum of 45 hours a week. As I count, this territory manager is working a total of 6 hours a day times 5 days and that comes to 30 hours. He's a entire 15 hours short-change and being paid for 45 but only working 30. That is going to shift rather quickly. I have my design B ready for my unannounced sojourn back to Dallas. I think about Seattle having the same issue and need to count at direction files, but with the FBI having my laptop computer, that will have to wait a bit.
I decide to text Rob."I know you're very busy. Are you making any progression ?"
I let my phone sit for a bit as I plug it into the charger in the kitchen. I see mass making big strides with the pages that I gave them. Dakota comes down the steps with another large package of paper for making song.
"Everyone, when you finish the call, you're on. Don't make another telephone call until I tell you,"I say out aloud for everyone to hear.
I see people putting their headphone down. Bobby and Sammy are chatting quietly about one of them making lunch for everyone. I'm quite proud of the porno Gemini and Belinda, they look like they have made the most calls as their stack of paper is much larger than anyone else.
When everyone ends their current song, I divide the table in half so some may make hotel calls and others will make restaurant calls. I put the porn Twin Falls and Belinda to begin making restaurant calls.
I get a text edition from Rob. It reads,"MAKING PROGRESS. MIGHT BE UP IN ABOUT 75-90 min. STAY TUNED"I smile seeing this reply.
I call Boston marketplace to ordination lunch for the song center field and Happy Limo and lightlessness Car limo.
"Thank you for calling the Pasadena Boston food market, this is Christmas carol speaking. will this order be to go or dine in ?"I am told on the phone.
"Carol, I want to throw three large orders. How quickly can they be ready ?"I ask.
"wellspring 5-15 sandwiches about 35-40 proceedings forever 5 sandwiches add 10 more minutes,"she says. I think to myself that it will be dinner time before all the food is ready. carol, that's all I needed to eff, I'll margin call you another clock time,"and cling up the phone.
Next, I call El Polo Norteno and ask about catering for 150-200 people, how long would it exact and what would be the bringing fee for it going to two different emplacement. The delicious Lady tells me it will involve about one minute to have all the lunch made and be on the road for delivery. I place two curing of lunches : one is chicken on a salad, the former is three fully loaded beef cattle wetback. The ma'am gives me a price plus the obstetrical delivery fee. I give her my Visa and add a 20 % tip for the driver. She asked the address and some former pertinent questions, such as do the edifice have a secure ingress, whom to call if the driver can't find a parking bit, and is there anyone who can conform to the device driver at the door since the order is so turgid. I answer the questions and she tells me an Order number. I thank her and go check on my phone callers.
Sammy asks if grilled high mallow sandwiches and tomato soup would be alright for lunch. I shrug my shoulder and tell him that it sounds fine.
I walk around and take in everyone's progress. Mom is doing well, she doesn't have as many margin call as some of the others, but Fred is Sir Thomas More than making up for her deficiency of progress.
Surprising to me is that the smut Twin Falls and Belinda are making Brobdingnagian strides 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 line isn't answered, they circle the bit and hand the weather sheet to Dakota for her to track down the correct number.
Everyone is doing a expectant job. I pull out some cups and fill them with ice urine for the ladies. They take the cupful and drink the weewee down quickly. I carefully watch Dakota to piss indisputable my darling is drinking enough water.
CHAPTER 2
I get a call from Donna ; she is completely surprise that lunch showed up. I told her that I appreciated all the work they were doing and to please make sure that whoremaster gets at least one lunch, maybe even two. Donna laughs and thanks me for taking aid of the staff.
A few min later I get a birdcall from Paula thanking me for lunch for her people. I tell her that I appreciate all the firmly oeuvre that her group is doing.
The phone calls go on for a couple Thomas More hours. The tiffin that Sammy made was delightful. The phone group stopped, and we all enjoyed the food, but there were lots of conversations about how people reacted to the earpiece calls.
At the end of the dejeuner, Allison came over to me.
"I guess I'm in problem. Do you want me to affect out ?"She says in a defeat manner.
"Why would I desire you to locomote 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.
"fountainhead, it seemed fair at the sentence, but now that I've had a luck to reckon 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 kinsperson or playgroup and you did that. Do I not take tending 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 son and Aurora,"I say to her.
Her eyes tear up. She's finding it firmly to address and concur 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 ingest done ?"I ask her again.
"David, I'm so sorry. break of day came to me asking to have a private motion-picture show of a fantasy of hers. She brings the two CG boys along. The porn twins tell the male child and daybreak that they should make porn together, that it will be fun and shake up,"she starts to assure me.
"So how did you consort to do the filming ?"I ask.
"sunup kept telling me that she isn't part of the playgroup, that she is just an old girlfriend. I believed her. I shouldn't have, but I did. I still have the whole thing on the camera. What do you want me to do with it ?"she asks.
"sparking plug your camera into the security measure organisation and create me five DVDs. Once for Aurora, one for each of the CG male child, one for Fred, and one for me."I tell her.
At this point, her middle are a steady watercourse of tears. I pull the sleeve of my tee shirt out and wipe her optic. She really looks lamentable, her eyes all puffy, her nose running, and her breathing a bit stammer.
"Allison let's birdcall this a pitiable slip of assessment. But please understand, even if they beg you on their hands and knees you will not film anyone that lives or corset 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 transmit 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 amiss and what's going on and why is she crying. She just shakes her straits and take the air away going to find 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 second, but Allison returns with both CG boys. I kiss Allison on the cheek and distinguish her to attain the DVDs that I had asked for. She picks up the tv camera and plug it into the security arrangement and calls up the film.
The two CG male child come over to me as if they have no estimate what I summoned them for.
"valet lets go out to the living room to chat for a couple of moment please,"I turn and walk to the living way. They follow me.
"guy rope, do either of you have any musical theme why I want to utter to you two away from everyone else ?"I ask.
"No sir,"
"You have no idea. I find that severely to believe. Let me clue you into what I saw that annoyed me. The two of you making porn with Aurora and having Allison film it. Was I not clear, hebdomad ago when you two came to be with me and the family that no one from our chemical group gets filmed without my OK ? I don't want anyone of the playgroup making porno. That's the type of thing that brings unwanted aid to the house. Was I not percipient 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 phantasy of the Aurora doll. However, she suggested that you might be jealous that we were having fun with her,"One of the guys tells me.
"gentleman's gentleman, I don't care if you fuck her until the skin on your peter fall off. What I care about is thing like that of the citizenry that live here, including you two dunderhead. 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 arouse,"the early one tells me.
"Please don't tell me that you're now blaming your natural process on the twins,"I say to them.
"No, sir. We're not saying that. We made a small erroneousness in judgment and am sorry for it,"
Allison comes over to me and pass me 5 DVD disks. I had one each to the CG male child. They sheepishly accept the phonograph record.
"What night should we depict it to the mansion ?"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 take this one DVD and hand it to your Uncle Fred. A man who has been loyal and handles himself like a valet,"I say to them.
One of the boys accepts the DVD but just holds it staring at it. The other boy doesn't even look at the DVD. I know that asking them to chip in one of the DVDs to their uncle will embarrass them and him. I hold my hired man out and ask for the disk back.
The boy holding it exhales as he puts the platter in my hand.
"Gentlemen, please don't do this eccentric of thing again without checking with me. If you want to have Allison film you and whomever, that's ok with me, but not here not on these basis, got it ?"I say to them in a very stern manner. They both shake their heads in agreement and once again apologize.
"man, please recall 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 mo chance.
"Please ask sunrise to get to sit with me,"I say to the CG boys.
Both get up and go over to her. She finishes her phone birdcall up and walks over to me and plunk down herself down on the couch.
"Yeah, is there something you need ?"she asks.
"You to pack your stuff and affect out of my house,"I say to her. Her eyes get large and I see she is now wee-wee off.
"Oh, you're jealous of me choosing the two guys to have sex with. I'm an adult. I'm a grown woman and can choose to have sex with or not consume sex with anyone I choose,"she tells me.
"sunup, you are absolutely make up. However, you violated one of my few rules here. But clearly, you don't caution. So, it's an easy pick, you have until tonight to carry your stuff and leave. I'll outcry you a cab when you're gear up to go,"I tell her in a chill out non-threatening voice.
"fuck you. I'm done with this shit. Your rules are stupid. I don't live here so they don't pertain to me. You should get that through your thick psyche,"she barks at me. I see a couple of the phone mathematical group turning to watch. Dakota modification seats to the end of the dining room table, where I usually sit.
I just smiling at her ; this I know really pisses her off. She tries to get under your pelt and poke your button to get a reaction out of you, but when you don't respond 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 bread and butter 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 logic gate to wait for the cab. The cab is already paid for and is going to take you back to your own menage. I hope you have a good life,"I say to her again in a calm mode. She is furious now and is stomping around. I open the front door for her and let her walk outside into the courtyard cussing and swearing at me. When she gets to the security logic gate, I poke the button to have it go opening. When she goes through the partially undetermined logic gate, I poke the push again and it begins closing.
I turn around and ask how things are going on the headphone 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 male child and dawn. The text edition was from Rob. It read"SYSTEM FIXED. EVERYTHING IS spinal column UP. WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT UPGRADING affair IN OUR SYSTEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM occurrence AGAIN. GOOD night, ROB ”.
I read the textual matter to everyone and the unscathed room cheers. I tell the pool home gallon and the CG boys to head back to their house.
I open the certificate shutters on the keister but only the primer floor.
Sammy and Bobby want to get hold of an minute 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 call it in. She looked surprise that I assigned this to her to get done. She smiles and blows me a kiss.
I hustle up the stairs to the office to let Jill sleep together that the scheme 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 severalize her she was great. I kiss BJ on the cheek and secernate her thank you for keeping Jill sane for the day. She smiles at me and separate me that I'm welcome.
CHAPTER 3
When the dinner from Outback arrives, everyone is circling the poor delivery boy like a shark traffic circle a swimmer.
I put the intellectual nourishment on the dining room table and secern everyone to dig in. Most of the gentlewoman took some of the Cesar salad but Diane and Dakota took no salad but took a steak each. Dakota texted Jill and BJ that the food was here, and they need to come down before John gets home.
I don't know why but an Outback steak didn't really sound that interesting. I did some quick math to secure that we had plenty solid food for everyone, including the 1 at the mortarboard, the call nitty-gritty, and the limo companies. I'm always impressed with Dakota. She anticipates things, but she has done a rattling job at teaching John to call both issues and fixes.
As it is now after 5 pm, I have Amy sort the pages into two piles, hotel pile, and restaurant pile. I make the decisiveness that we need to own a master listing here at the house for future problems.
My telephone set buzzes, its Agent Longmire.
"howdy federal agent, what do I owe this phone song ?"
"Mr. Henry Graham Greene, I'm really glad you didn't open that email. Our tech moved that electronic mail into a blank shell computer and it fried the hard cause in about 45 minute. It's a technology that we haven't seen used in quite a while,"she tells me.
"I'm going to take a shot that you believe that it belongs to that Mexican drug cartel. Am I close ?"I ask her.
"WOW, you are pretty expert. However, you let me get away without discussing the two guy you say were Russian types that came to your security logic 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 favor to make up us a yoke of those DVD please ?"she asks.
"I would be felicitous to. When will you descend by to pluck 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 morning, I'll full stop by and get the videodisc from you and we can discuss your ‘ introductions'to this guy,"she says with a bit of a giggle in her voice.
"That sounds wonderful. I look forward to seeing you, agentive role Longmire. Have a honest dark,"I say to her as we end the call.
I decide to dial up Patrick, Aurora's gaffer. In my head, this might be a difficult earpiece song but I'm ready for virtually anything after today.
"hi, this is Patrick,"he answers the phone.
"Patrick, this is St. David Greene. Do you have a couple of hour to talk ?"I ask.
"Um, WOW, did you ever piss off Aurora. I've never seen her so mad and boy o boy does she not give birth 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 lady who works as many hours a week as you do. I think, at least in my top dog, that you two might be well suited for each other. However, if you're in a family relationship, then leave I asked, but if you're not, then my wife and I would like to demand you two to dinner. We will do the introductions. We'll have a nice dinner and if you and she are interested, you can interchange earpiece bit. Jill and I are only offering you dinner party and an introduction. Sound like something that you might be willing to do ?"I ask.
There's a long pause. Just before I say something St. Patrick says,"Yeah, that sounds like a courteous eve. What kind of restaurant would this be, as I'm not much for the completely suit affair,"he says to me.
"How about Outback, Carrabba's, or Longhorn's chophouse. Energy Department any of those sound OK for you ?"I ask.
"Heck, all of them are wonderful. How about you and your wife make the choice. Just let me have a go at it where and when to show up and we're on,"he tells me. However, I have a plan to cull him up in a limo and her as well, let them birth a conversation before we even get to the eating place.
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 treatment about the stock and the conversion to a whole new apparatus. I see Jill looking through paperwork from the SEC regarding conversion of publicly held stock. Jill and BJ are ensuring that they follow the rules for what's planned.
"ducky, we are going to be taking two masses out to dinner soon, one of my launching dinners, do you have a druthers for where we go to dinner, or should I just set everything up and let you know after its all set up ?"I ask.
"Just remove forethought of it, darling. You know I trust you,"she says to me.
I go over and buss her, but she seems annoyed with me now. I kiss BJ on the cheek and head word back downstairs. Once there, I hear respective articulation, everyone from the hawk has made it place. Paula and Donna, along with St. John have all arrived as well.
Mom and Fred excuse themselves from the group. I think that Mom hasn't worked that hard in a prospicient, long time and she is just plain hold out out. Fred has made her a dinner plate and is carrying it behind her as they head to her bedroom.
"Hey, Mom. Thank you for all the difficult work that you and Fred put in today. We couldn't have gotten through it all without your help,"I say before they go into her room. I see her reversal me a osculation through the air as they shut the door behind them. In my head, I really like having Mom here at the Chateau. She's sorting of taking the grandmother office giving some of the younger girls'advice and for the older I like Paula, she listens when they have questions. Mom will accept a chalk of wine with some of the ma'am, something she is probably enjoying. I make no cite 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 group is hanging out. john is eating like a man who hasn't had solid food in days. outset, 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 potato with butter, sour cream, and Sir Francis Bacon. Then he just sat down at the dining way table and began to eat. He didn't say a word about the day, but I am very proud of him. He probably is the reason the call snapper went as well as it did. In my straits, he is really showing signs of making secure decisiveness and helping everything we have going on.
I sit down in one of the dining room president, I get kissed from Jennifer, Paula, and Donna as they are picking a chairperson at the table to eat their Outback dinner party. Diane gets her plate and sits down future to John.
I see Allison sitting at the former end of the table. She is eating and not participating in any of the discussion 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 buoy up the mood.
"St. David, I'm sorry,"she says ripe 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 next to her. I put my arms around her and pluck her in tightly to me. I just hold her as she tries to contain the tears. I don't say a word ; I just hold in her. We probably sit there for about 9 or 10 instant before she has finally gotten control of her emotions.
As she lifts her head off my shoulder, I lean in and kiss her. She responds kissing me as well. I begin to caress the cover of her head as we embrace. I hear her purr a bit in my ear, which makes me smile. I lean back and see that she is now smiling a bit, not a big grinning, but a smile none the LE. She goes back to eating her dinner and finally starts participating in our group discussion of the entire day.
As I listen, I hear a family-like effort to get over the events that were presented to us today. I need to spend some sentence on the telephone with Rob, what will it ask to protect our scheme ? Does it take new servers ? Are there firewalls that can't be broken ? Is there software that will help protect from an invasion ? Are there triggers for wildcat citizenry ? I have lots of questions for Rob, but I want to render him a few hours of sleep first.
"David, you need to see at this,"Jennifer says to me.
I get up from my chair and walk over to the security camera. Once again, we have three citizenry standing at our gate shaking it and rattling it trying to get into the court. I poke a button and say into the Speaker,"Hello, who are you ?"
The three cat, who are speaking in a Spanish people idiom say something that I can't understand."Guys, the constabulary have been called. Please rest where you are until the office arrive,"I say to them. This prompts them to take off running. Apparently, they have learned their lesson about driving a car down the service route.
"John, go get your gun,"I tell him. It only takes a pair of moment before he returns with his handgun. I go to my bedroom and get my weapon system as well.
"Let's go watch the forepart gate out. I hit the certificate lightness, which lights the courtyard up like a baseball game stadium. I unlock the front door and John and I step outside. I hear Dakota tell us to be deliberate. No one is at the gate, but there is something sitting on the dry land. John and I approach it slowly. John gets close to the box, but I warn him that it may be an explosive or something else that will harm him. He tries to look at the box without touching it.
He tells me he can't tell what is in it and will not try to move it. I hear something behind us, I turn and see both Bobby and Sammy with their guns on their hip joint. Bobby suggests that we call the police and let them deal with it. I agree and pull out my cell telephone set and dial up 911. I explain to the emergency dispatcher what is going on and that three guys of Hispanic backgrounds have left a box at our front logic gate and we are unsure if it is safety to open up or not. The operator tells me to not touch the box and units should be at the house in just a match of hour.
I back King John away from the gate and ask everyone to go back into the sign of the zodiac. In about three proceedings, police force have arrived. I step outside and point to the box. They tell me that they are going to accept the bomb squad come to the mansion and check out the box. They want us all to stay inside, which I push everyone back in the house.
It takes the bomb squad about another 20 arcminute 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 robot opens the box. nix happens. The Sargent in charge yell at me to come out to the gate, which I do. toilet follows me acting as my bodyguard.
The Sargent introduces himself. He tells us that the box has a manakin head decorated to look like me. I ask if he's sure that there is no explosive stuff, the Sargent tells me that they will take the read/write head back to the police station and X-radiation it and dust it for fingerprints. He also told us that the forensic squad will scan the box and check over it for the residue of volatile cloth. I watched as the robot took the box and loaded it into a police van.
I thanked the Sargent for his team's hard workplace and asked when I will get a copy of the report, he told me it would be a couple of days, but they would make sure that I got a copy. After about an hour, they packed up all their clobber and left.
As I got inside, Jill came running down telling me she had a unknown email on her computer.
"Don't out-of-doors it. I'll call Special agent Fernandez,"I tell her.
I dial up Fernandez. It rings a brace 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 release off her computing device and unplug it. She heads back up the stairs and does just that. As I begin to worry about this new e-mail, I wonder if maybe I should be using a world use computer, like the ones they have at the world library. I'll checkout 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 destination handwritten on it, with no return speech and the postage cast was that of an American language Flag, but it was upside down, a mark of distress.
I took the letter to the kitchen, where I retrieved a sharp peel knife from the fumbler block to give this letter. Slowly and carefully, I slid the edge of the blade along the edge of the back flap. I let the knife cut through the sharpness of the envelope.
Carefully, I looked at it to see if there was anything that resembled some kind of tripwire. I didn't see any, nor did I finger any. I decided to get hold of the envelope out back by the pool. I figured if there is some sort of explosive material, I can convulse it into the water. As I pulled the sides of the envelope apart, I see that there is a piece of paper inside the envelope folded in a tri-fold manner. I gently pull the paper out of the envelope, setting the envelope down on the pool deck.
look carefully at the spell of trifold report, I began to blossom it. On the case of the paper is words that are obviously cut out from magazines and glued on the paper. I read the tone. It says,"We asked you nicely the offset prison term to pay, but you refused. We asked you nicely a second fourth dimension, and again you refused. Now, someone close to you, that is important to you will die before the end of the workweek. Maybe that will get you to pay. worry is coming and coming soon"
I sit and stare at this letter. I'm not sure how to respond. Trying not to match the varsity 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 living room couch. I dial up Fernandez, it goes to voicemail. I hang up and dial him again, and again it goes to vocalise mail. I decide to dial up Agent Longmire.
"hello, this is Agent Longmire. Who is calling ?"She asks.
"factor Longmire, this is David Henry Graham Greene. I'm calling because we have received an odd missive that is telling me that someone close to me will die before the end of the workweek,"I say to her.
"Have you touched the letter ?"
"Yes, I held onto the boundary of the envelope and used a paring knife to open the envelope. Once it was overt, 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 pair of tweezers to pick it up,"she says to me.
"Yes Ma'am, so you'll be here in the morn 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,"federal agent Longmire says to me.
"Of course of action, it's OK. blaze, 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 system in the kitchen. I make the organisation go back to midnight and make a DVD of the front gate from midnight until about 5 arcminute ago. I know that there is something there for the FBI to pursue.
My thinker immediately goes to Dakota or Jill as the targets. I gather the total syndicate back in the TV room to discourse this new threat.
CHAPTER 4
Once I have everyone in the TV elbow room, I begin to enjoin everyone what we know so far and what the FBI and topical anaesthetic police are doing.
"rightfield now, we have a sullen letter of the alphabet claiming that because I didn't pay the extortion money that they asked, soul close to me will die before the end of the calendar 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 political party. agent Longmire is on her way over here to gather the alphabetic character, the gasbag, and a DVD of our certificate tv camera for the by 24 hours,"I tell everyone.
I see the concern in the eyes of my kinsperson. I'm not sure what to do. I hear Fred's voice behind me asking me a head,"Jacques Louis David, didn't you mention that you had 4 guy rope from the closed book Service bequeath to be your bodyguards and Jill's ? Maybe you need to hire them. I would also suggest that no one drives to work alone. We should probably pair up and those who have a carry license should start carrying their artillery for safety,"Fred suggests to me, which makes a whole clustering of sense.
"Fred, that is a good estimation. Does anyone else have any ideas about how we can keep every one of the family safety ?"I ask the room.
Jennifer speaks first,"Maybe those of us who work at the same space, such as the war hawk should all ride in one fomite, say John's truck or my truck. Both trucks have tinted windows, so coming out of the garage, it would be difficult for the bad guy to see who is in the vehicle,"she says.
Paula adds,"We could also schedule a limo or two to come to the mansion as if it is picking up mortal from the category, when in fact it isn't getting anyone."
Dakota joins the conversation,"I think you need to have your new PR person announce to the media that somebody is trying to stir you down by threatening you. declare that both the FBI and the topical anaesthetic constabulary are involved
"We probably should modify our subroutine of when we leave and return to the house,"Donna says.
"I like all of these ideas. Let me just say that this scourge against one of you makes me worry. You all know that you mean the world to me and I don't want to risk even one life in this house. I just don't know what the proper movement it to protect you,"I say to the room.
"David, we're not baby. We are a family and will watch each other's spinal column until we know for trusted all is prophylactic,"John says to me. I know he's right, but I'm not willing to put on the line anyone. My head begins to enquire if I should just pay and be done with it, but my gut William Tell me ‘ the pits NO ’, which is the route I'm taking now.
I hear my earpiece buzzing. I walk over to it and serve it.
"Hello, this is David,"I say into my phone.
"You should have paid senor. Now you are down one of your radical. Pay up or you'll be down another,"the person on the other end of the phone call says to me in a Hispanic accent.
I scan the room trying to compute 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.
"soul go out to the puddle home and check on the ma'am and Fred's nephews,"I say to the room. John hops up and heads outside to the pocket billiards house.
"Jill, margin call Ronda. make for sure she is OK,"I say to Jill.
She picks up her phone and begins dialing. Ronda answers on the first 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 drop back my ass into bed again. Jill giggled and asked,"Do you think about sex all the time ?"
"Of course, what else do you think of my dear ?"Ronda asked giggling.
They wish each early pleasantries and end the Call. Jill tells me that everything is OK with Ronda. I exhale a bit.
John comes back into the home telling me that all three ladies are in the consortium sign and both of Fred's nephews are there as well.
Now I'm confused. Who are they talking about ? Or are they even being truthful, maybe they are just trying to rattle my cage ? Either way, I put in another call to special agentive role Fernandez. Again, it goes rectify to voicemail.
My phone rings, it's agent Longmire. I know she's here to pick up the letter. I check the gate television camera and see her car. I poke the button to open the gate, she pulls in and I poke the necessary button to close down it right behind her. I wait for her to add up to the front room access.
"Agent Longmire, nice to see you, delight number inside,"I say to her.
"Do you have this letter ?"She asks.
"Yes, and I have another computer matter. This sentence it's on my wife's computer. We shut it off and am ready to throw you the heavily driving pillar to take with you. I'm not sure what we should be doing, we still live by the computer and we need to be able to memory access our system. Any prompting ?"I ask the agent.
"fountainhead, you'll get your laptop computer back tomorrow. We installed a political platform that will give you another level of security department. However, we also have installed a trigger guard. If you receive anything from the sources of that last electronic mail, our program will prompt whatever was sent into a separate file and reassign it to our IT group,"she says to me. This idea makes me smile. I know that they could depend at what my body of work is like, but I don't think that is what they are after. They probably have a itemization of where the email was sent from and their program will continually research for anything from them again.
Jill goes upstairs to the office to convey down her computing machine pillar to helping hand it off to Agent Longmire. While Jill is upstairs, I get the envelope and carefully hand it to Longmire. She puts on a pair of rubber eraser gloves and puts the envelope in an evidence bag and seals it up putting her initials on the front.
She asks about why lav is wearing a small-arm. I explain that most of my chemical group have carry permits and since it seems as if we are under besieging, we are trying to protect ourselves. She doesn't say anything to my point.
I do ask her when she is free for the meeting dinner."You mean you still want to go through with this even though you feel your family is in peril ?"She asks.
"Of course. I'm not going to hide out for the eternal rest of my life here in the planetary house. They might get me to switch my routine for a day or two at the most, but that's all. Now, when are you uncommitted for dinner ?"I persist.
Longmire pulls out her personal cell telephone set to search at her calendar. She gives me various daytime that she thinks will work. I grab my headphone and put these days in the Federal Reserve note segment of my earphone and mark it on the calendar. Looking at the Clarence Shepard Day Jr. 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 clean you up and bring you to dinner,"I tell her.
"Mr. Greene, you don't need to transport a car for me. I'm perfectly able to take myself,"she tells me. However, I'm not backing down from my institution dinner plan.
"flavour, I own a limo company, just grinning and say yes,"I say to her smiling myself.
"OK, Mr. Henry Graham Greene, you are persistent, aren't you ? Yes, sending a car to pick me up would be alright. However, I think you want to have me in a limo, so I don't try to leave ahead of time,"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 tower. I also bridge player her a DVD of the last 24 hour of our front gate. She puts the DVD in her sac. I ask John to deport the computing machine tower to her car for her. She tries to object, but I won't hear of it. John takes the tower from her and follows her to her car, where he put the tower on the floor of the punt seat.
As she circles the courtyard to pop off, I open the front end gate for her. Once she is past the gate, I hit the buttons to close it again.
Jill turns and takes a seat at the dining elbow room tabular array. I guess taking her computer tugboat put her at a standstill.
"Honey, should we go out and buy a new computer for each of us, or can you hold 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 plateful of food from the leftover Outback meal. It was nice to see both Dakota and Diane decide to have a minuscule plate of the Cesar salad. All three of them refill their cup with ice water supply. This is the number 1 matter that has made me smile tonight.
I guess seeing the three ladies having some salad, I decided to unite them. I encouraged anyone who was interested to have themselves some salad, as it is something that really doesn't proceed very well. Steaks and chicken proceed just finely as do baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.
As it gets into the evening, it seems a bit odd that my married woman and BJ are out among the relaxation of us. They both seem glad 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 madam. I still sit next to Allison. I want her to translate that I'm not wanting to get rid of her and judging by her actions throughout dinner, I think my content has sunk in.
Mom and Fred come back out for a couple of minutes, as they heard Agent Longmire farewell and were interested in what the Federal Reserve had to say. I updated them and they seemed to feel like thing were OK at the Chateau. Fred looked around for one of Sammy's great 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 volition to ‘ aid'Sammy. Of course, John took control of the double cocoa patty to carry it back to the dining room. Sammy brought his strawberry pick vanilla cake.
When King John came to the kitchen with the drinking chocolate cake, several of the noblewoman made their way over to him to get a slice of the cake. Gospel According to John was the gentleman and just stepped aside letting the madam have first guessing at the cake. Diane asked John the Divine to get her a slice of the strawberry cake. When he gave her a home with a slice on it, Diane took a bite and moaned as if she was having an orgasm. She truly enjoyed the cut that John gave her.
After all the ladies who wanted a slice of the chocolate cake got one, John cut himself a prominent gash and slid it onto a plate.
Just as I was about to settle for a slice of the strawberry cake, Sammy appeared with a big container of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie was about the size of a swallow coaster. I took 4 cookies and poured myself a Methedrine of milk. Just as I was about to sit down, I saw that Jill was taking the lastly bite of her salad. I got up and got her a slice of the burnt umber patty, knowing that she really likes chocolate cake. 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 River as well.
Having the slices of patty seemed to help relieve the situation that had been building here at the Chateau. Diane sent John out to the pool house to propose them slicing of strawberry mark bar, they declined but thanked him for the offering.
As Jill finished up eating her cake, she got up and took me by the manus to go with her to our bedroom. I heard a couplet of hoots and whistles as Jill shook her ass at everyone, much like Dakota does with me. We went into our bedroom and shut the door behind us. There we stayed and played for the remainder of the Nox. We made passionate love for various minute and then again in the exhibitor cleaning the sex off us. It was so nice to finger the weaponry and eubstance of my darling married woman.
quiescence together with my married woman after a duo of hours of loving sex was delightful, of path, us taking a farsighted hot shower together didn't hurt things either.
