Chapter 1
It was early Friday morning as Michelle Parker logged onto her Agency
email account to see what new tasks would be assigned to her
department. She eagerly looked forward to seeing what the rest of the
organization was sending her way. As the head of the research
department she could count on getting a daily dose of research
assignments.
This morning she was pleasantly surprised to see an email from Ally
Burns. Michelle read the message and immediately picked up her phone
and called the assistant director.
"Michelle, thanks for calling so quickly," stated Ally.
"What can we do for you?" replied Michelle.
"I have a favor to ask you, Michelle," replied Ally.
"What is it?"
"Special Agent Samantha Gibson needs an assignment until she is fit for
full-duty, and I was wondering if you could use her," asked Ally.
Michelle immediately recognized the name.
"Really? How long will she be assigned to me?"
Ally sighed.
"Good question. I hope only a few months...but she still has a long
recovery," replied Ally. "Michelle, there's the possibility that she
won't be able to pass the physical to be reassigned to the field."
"So this might be more than a temporary assignment," replied Michelle.
"That's correct. She's very intelligent and I know how short handed you
currently are," replied Ally.
"I appreciate that," replied Michelle.
"She has some experience in research. She served a six month tour in
the Pac-Northwest research department when she was recovering from her
SRS and her supervisor gave her glowing reviews," said Ally. "I also
know how particular you are about your agents. Feel free to read her
file before you make a decision."
"Thank you," replied Michelle.
"Just so you know, I'm giving you first shot at her...I know you need
some help. Donna's next on the list," continued Ally. "If I was back at
my old job I would jump at the chance to get her...but don't feel
pressured to take her."
"When do you need a decision?" asked Michelle.
"She comes back to work on Monday," replied Ally.
"Give me a couple of hours," replied Michelle.
"Thanks," replied Ally.
Chapter 2
Michelle read Samantha Gibson's personal file and was immediately
impressed. Samantha had been hired by the Agency in 2008 and had been
assigned to the Seattle office. In 2009 she had been transferred to
the main office and assigned to Carol William's Interstate Robbery
Taskforce.
Michelle took a sip of coffee as she continued to read the file. Carol
was a tough supervisor and was known throughout the Agency for running
a tight department. Michelle was slightly surprised to see the glowing
evaluations that Carol had written about Samantha.
As she continued to read the file she suddenly realized why Samantha's
name was familiar. Four months earlier Carol's team took down a major
bank-robbery organization. Acting on a tip, two of her agents were
staking out a bank in Centreville. The robbery crew of four men hit the
bank while the agents were just outside.
Samantha and another agent waited for backup, but then all hell broke
loose. An off duty police officer walked into the bank. He pulled his
weapon and began firing at the suspects. The suspects began to fire
back. Samantha and the other agent realized they had to act.
The ensuing shootouts only lasted twenty seconds. The suspects were
armed with semi-automatic rifles and they immediately killed the police
officer. Samantha's partner got off three shots, hitting one of the
suspects with his Glock before he was struck in the shoulder. Samantha
shot the other three.
When it was all over all four suspects and the off duty police officer
were dead. Samantha was also stuck twice in the right thigh, the
bullets shattering the bone in several places. She was in Intensive
Care for nearly three weeks as the doctors fought to first save her
leg.
Michelle picked up the phone and called Harry Simon, her counterpart in
the Seattle office.
"Michelle, how are you doing?" asked Harry.
"Good Harry. I have a question for you. Do you remember an agent named
Samantha Gibson?" asked Michelle.
"You mean Sam! How could I forget Sam? I did everything I could think
of to try and convince her to stay in my department. Best researcher
that I've seen in years. Why do you ask?"
Michelle told him.
"Take her," he replied immediately. "She's a good one, Michelle. I hope
she recovers completely, but if she doesn't she will be a huge asset to
your team."
"Thanks, Harry," replied Michelle. She hung up and immediately called
Ally Burns.
"Well?" asked Ally.
"I'll take her. Thanks for thinking of me first," said Michelle.
"You're welcome," replied Ally who sighed. "Right now it's 50-50 if
she'll get back on field duty. But if she doesn't that doesn't mean the
end of her career with the Agency. She's too good to just cast aside. I
want you to challenge her, give her real assignments to keep her head
in the game."
"Will do, Ally," said Michelle.
Chapter 3
Monday morning Michelle was at her desk when she heard the sound of
someone on crutches. She turned to see a young woman slowly hobbling
down the hallway.
"Good morning," greeted Michelle.
The woman paused and balanced on her one good leg. She was breathing
hard.
"I'm Special Agent Samantha Gibson. Are you Special Agent Parker?" she
asked.
"Yes and please call me Michelle, we're a little informal down here,"
replied Michelle. "When you've caught your breath please come into my
office."
"Thanks, I'm still not used to getting around on these things. The walk
in from the parking lot seemed to take forever. Thankfully it's not too
cold today," replied Samantha.
A short time later Samantha was seated across from Michelle.
"So what do you like to be called?" asked Michelle.
"Just call me Sam," she replied with a pleasant smile.
"Okay Sam. I understand that you've worked in research before," said
Michelle.
Sam nodded. "Yes, it was back when I first came into the Agency."
"You were on limited duty then, right?"
Sam nodded again. "I was recovering from surgery."
"I know, Assistant Director Burns told me and...Sam, just so you know
I've been friends with Ally since she joined the Agency. So you have
nothing to worry about. She blazed a lot of territory for LGBT agents.
Yes, there are still some dinosaurs left, but they are going
extinct...there's no room for them in the Agency."
Sam smiled. "Thanks."
"I've read your file and I'm very impressed. I understand that you got
your PI license while you were in college."
"Yes, back in San Diego. It seemed like the thing to do," she replied.
"Sounds like there's an interesting story behind that," said Michelle.
Sam nodded.
"Well maybe you can tell me sometime. In the meantime let's get you set
up," said Michelle.
Sam picked up her crutches and slowly stood up.
"They're a real pain aren't they?" asked Michelle. "I was on them for a
month once."
Sam nodded. "Beats being in a wheelchair. That was awful and our condo
isn't exactly large. I've been relegated to the first floor since the
shooting."
"I can't imagine how hard it's been," said Michelle as she led Sam down
the hall.
"I'm just glad they saved the leg...at least I have a chance at
returning to field duty. The best thing is that my girlfriend Kelly has
been super supportive," said Sam. "Kelly works for Marlene Hamilton."
"Impressive, I met Marlene once...and I've read several of her books,"
replied Michelle. "So does Kelly live here with you?"
"Yes, along with Spartacus the cat," replied Sam.
"Spartacus?" asked Michelle with a laugh. "That's an impressive name
for a cat."
"It fits him, he's a very impressive cat," replied Sam. She pulled out
her phone she showed Michelle a photo of a small, but fierce looking
orange cat.
"Very cute...but he looks like he can be a handful," said Michelle.
"You have no idea," replied Sam. "He's been trying to turn my cast into
a scratching post."
Michelle led Sam into a large work room.
"You can have the vacant cubicle on the end. The computer techs were
here over the weekend and everything should be set up for you," said
Michelle.
Sam nodded and she sat down.
Michelle then motioned to a Japanese-American woman.
"Tracy, this is Sam, she's been assigned to us, please show her the
ropes," said Michelle.
Tracy nodded and replied in a slightly southern accent. "Sure thing
boss."
Michelle smiled back and she headed back to her office. "You're in good
hands Sam."
"Thanks Michelle," replied Sam.
Tracy pulled up a chair next to Sam.
"I'll show you how to log into our database and where you can find your
assignments. The rest of the system is identical to all other Agency
departments," explained Tracy.
"Cool," replied Sam.
"We all heard about how you were injured...pretty intense," said Tracy.
"It was," replied Sam.
"How much longer will you be on the crutches?"
"A few more months and then the physical therapy starts," replied Sam.
"And do you want to go back to field work?"
Sam nodded. "I know it may seem strange, but I really love it."
"I understand, I personally can't imagine doing anything else beside
this," said Tracy. "Now let's get you started."
Chapter 4
Just before the end of the workday Tracy walked up to Michelle's office
and knocked on the doorframe.
Michelle didn't even have to bother turning around as she knew Tracy's
knock.
"Come on in and have a seat," said Michelle as she turned around.
Tracy sat down across from Michelle.
"So, how's she fitting in?" asked Michelle.
"Like she's always been here," replied Tracy. "She's sharp."
Michelle picked up her coffee mug and took a sip. "Tell me more."
"She's very computer literate and a very quick learner," said Tracy.
"She's also very likable; I think she'll have no trouble fitting into
the team."
"Good," replied Michelle.
"How long will she be with us?"
"A few months...maybe longer," said Michelle.
Tracy nodded. "All depends on her status."
"That's correct. If she can't get back to field work we need to
appraise her to see if she'd fit in here."
"Okay," replied Tracy.
Michelle cocked her head. "What is it?"
"What?" asked Tracy.
Michelle cocked her head. "I can read you like a book, what else is on
your mind?"
Tracy leaned forward in her seat. "I don't have any proof, but I think
she might be a hacker. I mean, just from a few things she said as we
talked."
"I see," said Michelle.
"Well it takes one to know one," continued Tracy with a grin.
Tracy had originally been turned down the first time she applied to the
Agency. She broke into the system and sent her resume directly to the
Director. She was immediately hired and assigned to Michelle.
"Okay, please have a talk with her and explain that we do things
legally here...unless we get a court order."
"I will," replied Tracy.
Chapter 5
Sam hobbled into her Centreville condo and flopped down on the couch.
Spartacus immediately hopped up on her lap. Sam reached down and began
to rub his chin.
Kelly stepped out of the kitchen; leaned down and gave her a kiss.
"How was it?" asked Kelly.
"Exhausting," replied Sam as she continued to pet the loudly purring
cat. "But I really like where I'm working."
"I'm glad to hear it," said Kelly. "Let me check on dinner and then
I'll come back out and you can tell me all about it."
"Okay, I'll stay here and amuse the wee beastie," said Sam as she
rubbed Spartacus's chin who purred contently.
"If the beast starts to use your cast as a scratching post again, toss
him on his furry little ass," said Kelly.
"I don't mind...he can't hurt me," said Sam.
"Yes, but the sound is so annoying," replied Kelly.
As if on cue, Spartacus began to run his claws along Sam's cast.
"Damn furball! He did that on purpose!," laughed Kelly.
***
Across town Michelle arrived home and was greeted by her husband
Warren.
"How was work?" he asked.
"Good," replied Michelle.
"And the new agent?" he asked as he poured her a glass of wine.
"She's fitting in fine," replied Michelle.
He handed her the glass and she took a sip.
"This is good," she replied.
"It one of the vintages that Ally and Carol recommended," he replied.
Michelle nodded. "That reminds me, I need to give Ally a call after
dinner."
Chapter 6
Ally and Carol where just finishing dinner when the phone rang.
Ally looked at the caller ID and smiled. "It's Michelle."
"Hello, Michelle," greeted Ally.
"Hi, Ally. I just wanted to talk to you about Sam," replied Michelle.
Ally sat down on the couch.
"How'd she work out today?" asked Ally.
"Fine. Tracy is very impressed with her and that alone is a glowing
recommendation," said Michelle.
"Sam's special...but don't tell her I said so," said Ally.
"Tell me more about her," said Michelle.
"I've known about her since she was in college. You know she was a PI,
right? Well, I know the guy who trained her. We were on the force
together," said Ally.
"Small world," said Michelle. "So he knew you in the old days."
"That's right. Rob was my partner on several stakeouts when I was the
bait...I always knew that I could trust him. He was one of the first to
call me after I became Ally," she explained.
"And then he worked with Sam," said Michelle.
"I know...small world. Anyway, Rob's not easily impressed, but he had
nothing but compliments about her," said Ally. "Also Carol thinks the
world of her. But this doesn't mean that she gets a free ride...if
anything it means that I expect her to be the best. I don't want her
coddled."
"Well, we plan on using her. So, what do the doctors really think about
her chances of recovery?"
"They're not optimistic, but they've been wrong before," said Ally. "I
mean, some of them said that I wouldn't recover from my first injury."
"And they've been wrong about Steve dozens of times," said Michelle.
Ally laughed. "How true. The important thing is to show Sam that even
if she can't be a field agent that she can be a vital part of the
Agency."
"I understand," said Michelle. "I'll keep you informed on her
progress."
"Thanks Michelle, I really appreciate this," said Ally.
After Ally hung up the phone she walked into the kitchen where Carol
was cleaning up.
"How's Sam doing?" asked Carol.
"Michelle says that she's fitting in," replied Ally.
"I knew she would," said Carol as she handed Ally a towel to dry the
wine glasses.
"I just want to give her an opportunity should she not be able to
return to your department," said Ally as she gently dried one of the
crystal wine glasses. "It's also something that Robert would have
done."
Robert Ledyard had been the agent who recommended Ally for her current
position.
"I'm sure he would," added Carol. "You're a lot like Robert."
Ally turned and smiled. "Thank you."
Chapter 7
Damon Meyer stepped out onto the balcony of the villa, sipped his
single malt whiskey and looked out at the pristine jungle that
stretched for miles towards the ocean.
He had arrived at the private resort two days earlier. He had told his
board of directors that he was taking a well earned vacation. Damon was
the CEO of a large international investment company based in Seattle,
Washington.
"Enjoying the view?" asked his hostess.
"Yes, it's very nice...very private," he said without turning around.
"That's why I picked this location," she replied. "We don't have to
worry about unwanted visitors.
He turned and nodded.
"So when can I see the...merchandise?" he asked.
"She's being brought up here as we speak," replied the woman.
He grinned. "Excellent."
"Now, I must repeat that while the physical changes are almost
complete, the mental programming takes longer to take hold," she said.
"We were able change her to the specifications you requested in just
over twenty-four hours...but it will take several weeks until the
mental changes are complete."
"I imagine 'she' is rather angry with me," said Damon as he took
another sip of his drink.
"She would try to kill you if she had the chance...but within a few
weeks she'll be very docile and subservient...and she'll do whatever
you ask her," said the woman as she sat down on the couch.
Damon sat down across from her.
"Why do the mental changes take longer?" he asked.
The woman smiled back. "I can't share all my secrets, but we found out,
through trial and error, that it's not wise to accelerate the mental
conditioning... it can lead to severe psychosis. It sort of defeats the
purpose of having a slave."
"And she will be able to function as my secretary?" he asked.
"Yes...she will be capable of doing any job assigned to her. Within
three months she won't even have any memories of her previous
existence."
Damon nodded.
A muscular man walked into the suite and came to attention in front of
the woman.
"The subject is being brought up," he stated.
"Thank you, Daniel," she replied.
"We had to bind her arms behind her back and cuff her ankles...she's
very unhappy about what was done to her," he stated.
"I'm sure she is," said the woman.
Two men then entered the room leading a young blonde woman.
The woman was wearing what appeared to be a hospital gown over her
shapely body.
"You fucking bastard!' she screamed in what sounded like a middle class
English accent.
"Very nice," said Damon.
"What the 'ell 'ave you done to me?" the woman cried.
"When she gets angry her accent will be more pronounced...and less
refined," said the hostess.
Damon stood up and examined the blonde woman who was struggling to get
free from her captors.
"May I see the rest of her body?" asked Damon.
"Of course, you paid for her," said the hostess.
Damon walked over to the woman.
"Your name is now Elizabeth," he stated.
"My name is Richard Morgan and you know it," cried the woman.
Damon laughed. "You look more like an Elizabeth now...but I'll concede
you one thing...you're now Elizabeth Richardson."
He began to laugh louder as he thought about his joke. He then pulled a
knife out of his coat and slit the front of the gown, exposing her
large shapely breasts.
"Very nice," said Damon.
"They're 36-Double D's, just as you requested," said the hostess.
"Magnificent," he replied. "She's quite lovely...even if she has the
mouth of a sailor."
"That will change...soon she will be very sweet," said the hostess.
Damon looked down and looked at Elizabeth's small penis.
"And she's fully functional?" he asked.
"Of course," replied the hostess.
"Excellent," he replied.
"Her programming will be as you requested, prim and proper when at
work...a total submissive and sexually addicted slut when in private. I
think you will find her an excellent plaything," said the hostess.
"Fuck you!" cried Elizabeth. "I'll fight this!"
The hostess laughed. "They all say that...and they all give in...they
have no choice."
"I can't wait," said Damon.
"You won't get away with this...people will look for me..."
"No, no they won't my dear little girl," interrupted the hostess. "You
were killed in a boating accident three days ago. The local authorities
have just ended the search for your body. Please take her back to her
room."
Elizabeth shook her head and screamed with rage as the guards dragged
her out of the room.
"She's everything you promised she would be," said Damon. "Richard was
a cocky little employee, very full of himself."
"And soon she will be very full of you," said the hostess.
Damon laughed loudly.
"How true. When will she be ready to take home?"
"In two weeks, but it all depends on how quickly she takes to the
programming," replied the hostess.
"Excellent. I can't thank you enough."
"The two million dollars you paid me is a good start," she replied.
Damon nodded. "Well worth every cent. Thank you, Kiyoke."
Kiyoke Jamison smiled back.
"You are welcome," she replied.
Chapter 8
Kiyoke sat back and relaxed as her private jet flew her back to
California. It had been a profitable week.
Still, money was only part of the reason why she was using the
transformation process; the thrill of transforming the weak was made it
all worth while.
The job she had done for Damon was rather routine and to be honest...
rather boring. Oh seeing her latest victim's transformation and the
futile efforts to fight back turned her on, but it wasn't that
different from the many other transformations that she had done.
She had one in the works and it could be very erotic if everything fell
into place. Her technicians had confirmed that it would be possible to
do everything requested. It was just a matter of the people involved
agreeing to it.
Kiyoke was confident that they would agree and as she thought about
their request she became aroused and began to pleasure herself. She
didn't bring herself to orgasm as she didn't want to waste it...no she
would save it for her pussy of a husband Thomas. Kiyoke began to think
of how she would fuck him that evening.
Chapter 9
Sam stared at her computer's monitor as she scanned for information
related to a recent string of bank robberies. The lead investigator was
convinced that the gang wasn't randomly picking their targets and had
asked for help from the research department.
Sam was determined to help her old department as she scanned through
the information related to the crimes.
"Hey, are you going to sit there all day?" asked Tracy.
Sam glanced up and grinned. "Maybe."
"Well, are you at least going to have lunch?"
Sam looked at her watch. "Wow, I lost all track of time."
"That's a common occurrence here," replied Tracy. "I'm heading down to
the cafeteria; do you want me to bring something back for you?"
"Thanks, I'd like that," replied Sam.
The Agency had an excellent cafeteria. It was one of the perks the
Director had enacted when he had taken over. If his agents were going
to work hard they deserved a decent meal.
"What do you want?"
"I'll take the chicken sandwich and a Diet Coke please," said Sam.
"Okay," said Tracy.
She returned twenty minutes later and Sam joined her in the break area.
"So how do you like working here?" asked Tracy.
"I like it a lot. It's a nice mental challenge," said Sam.
"It has its moments," replied Tracy.
"So how long have you been with the Agency?" asked Sam as she took a
bite of her sandwich.
"Three years. I joined after I graduated from Georgia Tech," replied
Tracy.
"I thought I heard a Southern accent," said Sam.
"Yes, I'm a Southern Belle! Born and raised in Atlanta. My parents came
to the states back in 1980," she replied. "Where are you from?"
"Technically Florida...I was born there and lived there until high
school...but I consider San Diego my real home," replied Sam.
"Hmm, I sense a woman with a secret past," said Tracy.
Sam smiled. "It's a dark and sorted tale."
"I'd love to hear about it some day," said Tracy. "Please tell me."
"I was run out of my town when I was in a senior in high school," said
Sam.
"You serious?" asked Tracy.
Sam nodded. "I was sexually assaulted. The guys who did it were stars
on the football team...and well... it was determined by the powers that
be that it would have been too messy to prosecute them."
"That's awful," replied Tracy.
"Yes, but I got back at them, the guys who hurt me...and those who
supported them," replied Sam.
Tracy leaned closer. "Please go on."
Sam took a breath. "You'll probably find out anyway. When I was raped I
was a guy. It was at a school Halloween party and I was dressed as a
girl. Only a very close friend knew I was transgendered at the time so
I thought it would be fun to dress up. I transitioned after I moved out
with my aunt in San Diego. I later worked with a PI and we uncovered a
cesspool of corruption in my old town."
"What do you mean?" asked Tracy anxiously.
Sam told her a shortened version of what had happened.
"Wow," replied Tracy. "That's incredible. I knew you were cool, but I
had no idea. You actually know Steve Williams?"
Sam nodded.
"He's a freakin' legend here."
"He's a great person," replied Sam.
Tracy shook her head in disbelief.
"Next you'll tell me that you know The Director," said Tracy.
Sam shook her head.
"I've never met him...but I have talked to Assistant Director Burns a
few times."
"Now I am impressed! I really hope we can become friends," said Tracy.
"So do I," replied Sam.
Chapter 10
Kiyoke arrived at her home and was greeted by Thomas.
"How was your trip, Mistress?" he asked.
"Very profitable," she replied as she sipped a leather collar around
his neck.
Thomas may have been a top executive at LT Imports, but in their home
he was the property of his wife.
"I've been looking forward to fucking you," stated Kiyoke as she led
them to their bedroom.
'I was hoping you'd say that," he replied.
Once inside the spacious room, Kiyoke ordered him to undress.
She sat on the edge of the bed and watched.
Thomas did as she ordered.
Soon he was standing naked in front of her. Kiyoke licked her lips as
she studied his body.
Thomas used to love being naked with Kiyoke, but that was before she
changed him.
"I wonder what your coworkers would say if they could see you naked,"
said Kiyoke as she began to undress.
Thomas lowered his head.
"Don't be ashamed my dear, I love the way you look," she said. "It also
makes sex so much more enjoyable. Now, lie down on the bed."
Thomas obeyed.
Kiyoke stood up and ran her tongue over her lips. She began to stroke
her cock as she slipped on top of Thomas.
"I've been thinking about fucking that tight pussy of yours ever since
I left the clinic," she stated as she mounted him.
Thomas gasped as her cock slipped inside of him.
Three months earlier she had transformed both of them. She gave Thomas
a vagina. It was designed to give him maximum sexual pleasure. He was
male in every other way. But thanks to the transformation process, he
was now controlled by the sexual pleasure that was contained in his
vagina. He craved sex...he loved being fucked...even though it was so
humiliating...maybe because it was so humiliating. In so many ways it
was the ultimate form of control.
Kiyoke gave herself a fully functional cock. True, she was sterile, but
she could get erections and she could also ejaculate. The orgasms were
incredible, better than she could have imagined. The sense of power was
also wonderful.
Nature had cheated her out of the opportunity to run her family's
business, but now, thanks to the transformation process, she could have
power. Yes it was behind the scenes, but it was power nevertheless.
While she had no desire to be a man, she did lover the power of her new
gender. Unlike those submissive feminized males, she was a woman with
a penis...a strong, powerful, and dominant woman.
Fucking Thomas was the ultimate form of dominance. She loved how he
moaned as she fucked him and how he cried out when he came.
Chapter 11
The next morning Kiyoke received the phone call that she had been
waiting for.
"Good morning Matsu," greeted Kiyoke.
"Kiyoke, I have convinced my husband to meet you," replied Matsu
Yutaka. "He finds your proposal very interesting."
"I'm pleased to hear that," replied Kiyoke.
"Ryoko is willing to meet with you this evening," continued Matsu.
"And what about your daughter?"
Matsu laughed. "She's very eager to undergo the procedure."
"I imagine she would be," replied Kiyoke. "Although I doubt your son
will be as eager."
Matsu chuckled. "No, I doubt he would."
"So where and when would you like to talk?" asked Kiyoke.
"Please come by our hotel at 8 this evening," said Matsu.
"It will be my pleasure," replied Kiyoke.
Chapter 12
Sam stared at the data displayed on her monitor for nearly an hour. She
knew she was close; it was just a matter of time until she solved the
puzzle. It was much like doing a difficult Sudoku. All it would take is
to find the one number, the key, to unlocking the solution.
She then broke out in a smile as it came to her.
"Tracy, would you come here please?" she asked.
Tracy walked over and pulled up a chair.
"What do you have?"
"The answer," she replied.
Tracy glanced at the screen.
"Okay, what is it?"
The computer screen listed the banks that the robbery team had hit in
the six months. In addition to the banks, the screen displayed the
addresses, and the name of the bank managers.
"Our robbers are Washington Redskin fans," stated Sam confidently.
"Huh?" asked Tracy.
"We've wondered why the banks they've hit are spread out over such a
large geographic area. It has nothing to do with the banks, rather it's
the name of the managers....they all have the same last names as
Washington Redskins team members."
Tracy stared at Sam. "You must be kidding."
Sam smiled as she called up a second list that showed the matching of
the names. "Look, all the names match the last names of Redskins in the
Football Hall of Fame."
Tracy looked at the list with disbelief. The list included the last
names of Allen, Jones, Smith, Marshall, Baugh and Riggins.
"This is wild," she stated.
"So do you think that I'm right?" asked Sam. "The first few names are
pretty common, but it was the last two that caught my attention. There
are only 14 Redskins in the Hall of Fame, so we need to do is run a
search for the other names and see if any banks have managers with
those names. That's going to be the problem."
Tracy shook her head. "No, no it won't. We have a new program that I've
been itching to use."
"What is it?" asked Sam.
"It allows us to search for names, which by itself isn't all that new.
But this program allows us to add criteria of job title, geographic
location, etc. I've made some adjustments to it that will allow us to
refine our search."
"Let's try it," said Sam.
"Okay, come on over to my computer and we'll run it," said Tracy.
"Bring your list of names."
Sam printed out the full list of names and then hobbled over to Tracy's
computer.
"Oh, I just though of something," said Sam. "Can you add maiden names
to the search criteria?"
Tracy nodded.
Ten minutes later the program was being run.
In twenty minutes it produced a list of over forty banks.
"Six of these are within a two hour drive of Washington," said Sam as
they plotted the banks on a computerized map. "So what do we do now?"
"I'll get Michelle and see what she thinks. If she buys your theory
we'll send it up the chain of command," said Tracy.
Chapter 13
Carol Williams sat across the conference table from Michelle, Tracy,
and Sam. She listened without interrupting as Sam explained her theory.
When Sam finished, Carol looked at Michelle, who was nodding in
agreement.
"We'll put these six banks under surveillance," said Carol. "Michelle,
can you run a check of criminal backgrounds of any persons associated
with the Redskins, including those in fan clubs, and season ticket
holders?"
"That'll be a pretty wide sweep but we can do it," said Michelle.
Carol nodded. "This crew is too well organized to be amateurs. At
least one of them has to have a record...we might get lucky and narrow
down the field of suspects."
"We'll start with our list of known bank robbers," said Michelle.
Carol nodded again.
"Good work," she said.
"We'll get on that new search," said Michelle.
"This looks very promising," said Carol and she picked up the file in
front of her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. What can I say, I have a great team," said Michelle.
"That's for sure. I'm glad to see that you're fitting in Sam," said
Carol.
Sam smiled back. "Thanks. Oh, if it wasn't for Tracy's program we
wouldn't have been able to get you this list for weeks."
Carol turned to Tracy. "I've heard good things about you Tracy. Thank
you for your hard work."
Tracy smiled back. "Always glad to help Agent Williams."
Chapter 14
Later that evening, Kiyoke Jamison was meeting with Ryoko and Matsu
Yutaka. Ryoko was the CEO of a large international electronic company.
He was an old family friend. And like her own father he was very
traditional when it came to a woman's role in business.
Kiyoke sat across from Ryoko and Matsu in the living room of their
large hotel suite.
"I understand you may have a solution to my...dilemma," stated Ryoko.
Kiyoke nodded.
"That is correct," she replied.
He stood up and walked over to the bar to pour himself a drink.
"I inherited this company from my father and fully planned on passing
it on to my son," he stated with barely contained disappointment in his
voice. "Unfortunately my son would rather study literature and write
poetry."
Kiyoke knew the circumstances of Ryoko's problem, but she didn't
interrupt.
"And at the same time his twin sister loves to study the business," he
continued as he filled his glass with Scotch. "She is only eighteen but
she has a head for both electronics and for business...if she were a
boy I could groom her to take over the company. But the board of
directors would never tolerate such a thing."
He took a drink of his Scotch.
"If my family is to maintain control of my firm my heir must start
college this year," he said. "My son tells me that he wants nothing to
do with the company...it is a great dishonor."
Kiyoke nodded.
"My wife says you have a solution," he said. "Please tell me if what
she says is true."
Kiyoke sat up straight.
"I have a procedure that would not only allow me to transform your son
into a woman...and your daughter into a male, but I can make it so that
they would look like each other. Your son Taru would become your
daughter Kichi. The fact that they are twins makes this easier.
Additionally, Taru will be programmed so that he accepts his new life
as your daughter."
"And what about Kichi?" he asked.
"From what I have been told, she won't need programming as she is
willing to do whatever it takes to run the company and keep it in your
family. I can give her some minor programming so that she has more
masculine traits. However, let me talk to her and I'll decide if that
is necessary," replied Kiyoke.
"I see. What about grandchildren?" he asked.
"The procedure has been refined so that your son, your new son, will be
fertile. However, your daughter will be sterile; we haven't been able
to take the transformation that far. However, I have a solution that
you may find acceptable," said Kiyoke.
"What is it?" he asked.
"A fake car accident," she replied. "That way we account for any minor
differences in their appearance. Additionally we can state that Kichi's
injuries in the accident rendered her infertile. She can still get
married; in fact she could be the wife of one of your business
associates. Her programming would make her the perfect submissive and
obedient wife, eager to please her husband. Adoption could be arranged
as she will be a devoted mother."
"Very interesting idea," said Ryoko.
"From what I have been told, this won't be that much of a stretch of
'her' male personality," continued Kiyoke
Ryoko looked at wife.
"What do think of this plan?" he asked.
"It is the only solution if we wish to keep the company in our family's
name. Kichi is very bright and her mind would be wasted. Taru has
wasted his opportunities and he should have been born a girl," said
Matsu.
Ryoko stared at her and then nodded slowly.
"What you say is true," he replied. He then turned to Kiyoke. "When can
you start?"
"I would like two weeks to prepare. Can you arrange to take your family
on a vacation to the Yucatan?" asked Kiyoke.
"That can be arranged," he replied.
"Good. The authorities there are more accommodating...and open-minded
towards turning a blind eye."
"Is your 'clinic' located there?" he asked.
Kiyoke nodded.
"Yes, it provides a safe location," she replied.
Ryoko smiled slightly.
"There is much of your father in you Kiyoke," he stated.
She smiled as she thought of the penis between her legs. You have no
idea, she thought.
"Thank you for the kind compliment," she replied. "Now, I will need a
DNA sample from each of the twins. This will allow my technicians to
get started on the transformation matrix."
"That can be arranged," replied Ryoko.
"I would also like to meet with your daughter," said Kiyoke.
Ryoko looked at his wife who nodded.
"Very well," he replied.
Chapter 15
Kiyoke looked at the photos of Taru and Kichi Yutaka. Physically they
were very close in size. This would be the first time that she would be
copying not only one person, but two. It was all very exciting.
Kichi was nearly five-eight and her brother was only one inch taller.
The fact that the parents and the daughter were all in the plan was
also very delightful to Kiyoke. The parents were willing to abuse their
flesh and blood just to keep the company in their name. If the father
and the shareholders weren't so old fashioned the easier solution would
be to let the girl take over, but nowhere as much fun.
The boy would be facing a very limited future. He would become a
submissive young woman, soon to be married off to be the wife of some
up and coming male executive. It was too bad that the process couldn't
give "her" a working reproductive system, but her technicians said that
they were possibly months away from that sort of transformation.
Kiyoke didn't feel any pity for the boy's fate. If he had been more
interested in his father's company then this wouldn't happen. She was
however very interested in meeting the girl. In many ways she saw Kichi
as a kindred spirit. Kiyoke would have eagerly sold out one of her male
siblings to take their place.
An hour later Kiyoke was seated across from Kichi.
"So are you looking forward to becoming a male?" asked Kiyoke.
"I am willing to do whatever it takes to inherit the company," she
replied. "If I stay as is the best I can hope for is a happy marriage.
My father is rather old fashioned in his beliefs."
"You could just separate yourself from him," replied Kiyoke.
Kichi shook her head. "Not an option. My father would cut me off and
even though I have excellent grades, it still takes money to go to
college."
"I see...and how do you feel about what will be done to your brother?"
Kichi laughed.
"As the only son and heir he has had a free ride. Growing up he could
do no wrong...my father always hoped that he could take an interest in
the business, but it never happened. No, I feel no regret...in fact I
look forward to attending my sister's wedding."
"That may not happen for some time," stated Kiyoke.
"No, that's not true. I overheard my father talking about an arranged
marriage to the son of one of his friends. It would create family bonds
between our family and that of another corporate family. I understand
that the procedure will not allow my 'sister' to become pregnant, is
that correct?"
"We have been working on it, but so far it hasn't been perfected," said
Kiyoke.
"What do you mean?" asked Kichi.
"We can produce the correct reproductive organs, but in one third of
the tests the subject stays sterile," said Kiyoke.
Kichi grinned. "What are the risks to my sister? I mean, if you were to
give her a full set of organs and she turned out to be
infertile...would there be any health risks?"
Kiyoke shook her head.
"No. The main reason I am not offering it is that I am a perfectionist
and I hate it when I cannot meet all my promises," explained Kiyoke.
"Fine, you told my parents that their daughter couldn't get
pregnant...why not try it anyway, there's no risk, correct?"
Kiyoke nodded. "I like the way you think."
"I would love to see my 'sister' with a fat belly and several children
running around her. She will be programmed to be a loving mother
correct?"
"That's true, just as she will be programmed to love and obey her
husband," replied Kiyoke.
"So she will be submissive...demure...obedient?"
"Yes...the perfect model of traditional Japanese wife," replied Kiyoke.
"I find the concept disgusting...but not for someone who was once a
male."
Kichi nodded vigorously.
"So, she will remember who she was?"
"Deep down she will retain knowledge of her old life...but she won't be
able to express these thoughts. After a while she will think that she
has always been a woman."
"I see...but can you make it so she will remember who she was...and
what she could have had?"
"Of course. Is there a reason you want her to suffer?" asked Kiyoke.
"Yes, just so she will know what a stupid and foolish boy she once was.
I want her to love sex with her husband...and crave sex with him...yet
to always remember she was once a boy...especially when she's
climaxing. I can imagine her achieving orgasm and at the same
time...when she's at the height of her sexual bliss suddenly
remembering that she was once a male."
"How delightful!" exclaimed Kiyoke.
"I hate the system that I grew up in. I plan on making changes once I
am in control of the company...in fact, I may want to use your services
in the future. I like the idea of turning some of those arrogant young
males I have known into demure perfect brides...totally
submissive...the perfection of Japanese womanhood. My mother is
brilliant yet she was never allowed to use her mind...it's unfair...as
you obviously know."
"Yes, you are right. I think that we will be good friends Taru,"
replied Kiyoke. "So anything else you want me to program into your
sister?"
Kichi smiled when Kiyoke called her by her brother's name...her new
name.
"Like what?" she asked.
"She can be programmed to know how to dress," suggested Kiyoke.
Kichi thought about it. "Make it so she always dresses very
feminine...always in dresses and skirts...never pants...also that she
will dress as her husband demands...especially if it's traditional
Japanese outfits."
"My pleasure," replied Kiyoke.
Chapter 16
Carol had a feeling that the gang was about to rob another bank. She
had her teams staking out the six banks on the list provided by
Michelle's team.
As she studied the list Carol had a hunch that the next robbery would
be a Bank of America Branch north of Richmond. The bank manager was
named Stephanie Robinson, but her maiden name was Jurgenson. She got
into her car and headed to the stakeout.
She was ten minutes away when she received a call stating that there
was a bank robbery and it was the bank she was heading to.
By the time she arrived her team, along with the local police had the
accused in custody.
Carol found her lead agent and was briefed on what had happened.
"It happened just like the previous robberies. A high-end sedan, in
this case a black BMW, pulled up in front of the bank. Three suspects
got out and headed into the bank while the fourth stayed in the car. We
had just moved into position to block the Beemer when the silent alarm
went off. The three suspects exited the bank and got into the car where
we trapped them. They gave up without a fight," stated Carlo Ibanez.
"Good job," replied Carol. "So there was really a football player named
Sonny Jurgenson?"
"Oh yeah...my dad said he was a great quarterback... way before my
time...besides I'm a Ravens fan...but don't tell my dad," he replied.
"I won't...so where are the suspects?" she asked.
"They're being taken to the local State Police office to be processed,"
continued Carlo. "I've already called our lab to send the prints we got
from the other robberies."
"Well done, Carlo," said Carol. "I'm heading over to question them."
"Very well, I'll keep my team here to assist the locals in gathering
the evidence," he replied.
Chapter 17
Michelle hung up the phone, stood up and walked out into the main room
of her department.
"Tracy, Sam, good news, they caught the bank robbers," announced
Michelle.
Both young women broke out in huge smiles.
"It looks like this is the gang that we've been hunting," continued
Michelle. "Oh, Carol wanted me to tell you that all four of the robbers
are season ticket holders for the Redskins."
Sam broke out in a huge smile.
Tracy gave her a high-five.
"I guess I better start paying more attention to sports," said Tracy.
"I was wondering if your program could be updated to include additional
search criteria," said Sam.
"That's a great idea," replied Tracy.
"Well, I'll leave you two to get back to work. However, this means that
I also owe you both lunch. Great job," said Michelle.
Chapter 18
Kiyoke hung up the phone and smiled. Her head technician reported that
they had received the DNA samples of the twins and that they would be
able to start the transformation process as scheduled.
Everything was going as planned. She now had a sizable fortune in
various overseas accounts. The money was important as it would allow
her to live the affluent lifestyle that she was accustomed to and it
also meant that she was no longer dependant upon her so-called husband.
Oh, he was an excellent plaything, but she no longer saw him as her
mate. She realized that it was just a matter of time until she disposed
of him. Her plans for him involved a total transformation into a woman.
She decided that he would make a lovely blonde bimbo, perfect for
working the clubs in Tokyo.
She was concerned with one thing, as her operation grew; there was an
increasing need for added security. So far she had managed to fly below
the radar of law enforcement, but she knew that her luck wouldn't last
forever. The last thing she wanted was to end up in a prison cell
somewhere.
Kiyoke logged onto her computer and checked her email account. She had
recently made inquiries concerning a new security head. So far most of
the names suggested to her were lacking. However she recently was given
a referral from a client.
What interested her was that he not only was highly qualified in terms
of being the head of security but he had two other very desirable
traits. The first was that he had a reputation for being very amoral.
He didn't care who he worked for as long as he got paid. The second
trait was that he could discreetly take care of problems in a way that
wouldn't attract the attention of the authorities.
She was pleased to see that he had replied to her email and that he was
willing to meet her. In his email he gave a phone number for her to
call. He also stated that the number was to a secure phone and that she
wouldn't have to worry about anyone listening in.
Kiyoke dialed the number.
"Rose Security," stated the voice on the other end.
"I would like to speak to Mr. Rose please," stated Kiyoke.
"Speaking," he replied. "I'm pleased you called so promptly, Ms.
Jamison."
Kiyoke was slightly taken back by the fact that he knew who she was.
"How did you know that?" she replied.
"I'm sorry to have startled you, but you're the only one who I have
given this number to," he continued. "It's my way of ensuring that I
know who I am talking to."
"I see, very through," she said.
"So tell me what you need," he stated.
"Mr. Rose, I am the one hiring you, I believe I should be the one
asking questions," stated Kiyoke barely holding back her annoyance.
"And if you are seeking my services it means that you need special
considerations, considerations that one cannot get from regular state
of the mill security companies," he countered.
In spite of herself Kiyoke smiled. "Very good."
"I provide a special form of security for 'special clients.' I only
work for one client at a time and I give them one hundred percent of my
attention," he continued.
"I see, sounds expensive," she said.
"You get what you pay for, and if you called me then you know that I'm
reliable," he stated. "My price is non-negotiable."
"I was told that," she said.
"Don't worry, I'm not greedy," he said. "The point is I provide
services that are unique...and if you are seeking my services then it
means that money shouldn't be a problem."
"Of course," she replied.
"I will of course need to know what sort of operation you are running.
Before you argue, it is out of necessity. I can't plan for threats
unless I know what is going on."
"And does your arrogance get you jobs?" she asked.
He laughed. "It's not arrogance if you can back up what you promise.
Besides, I suspect you prefer someone who is confident."
"How true," she replied.
"Just so you know, I have a very short list of jobs that I won't take.
I don't work for drug cartels, I don't work for governments, and I
don't work for terrorists. The first group is obvious, they deal in
death. As for the other two, I don't deal with groups that have
agendas. Agendas can change and when they do things can get messy."
"Very interesting," she said.
"If you are still interested in my services we will have to meet in
person. It will cost you $100,000 which I must receive prior to the
meeting and is non-refundable. If I agree to work for you then it will
be my first payment. If we cannot come to an agreement then it will
serve to keep me quiet," he stated.
Kiyoke contemplated his offer for a moment.
"Very well, that is acceptable," she replied.
"Very good. I can meet you in La Jolla two days from now," he stated.
She didn't bother asking how he knew she was in California.
"I'm texting you the instructions for where you are to send the money
and how you will contact me in two days," he stated.
"I look forward to meeting you," she stated.
"So am I," he replied.
"Thank you, Mr. Rose," she said.
"I will see you in two days, Ms. Jamison," he replied.
Chapter 19
Bill Werth hung up the phone and leaned back in his office chair.
"How did it go?" asked a young woman as she walked into the cabin of
the yacht that served as one of his offices.
"Very well, Robin," he replied. "I will be flying to the states
tonight, please get me on the first flight to Los Angles. I will also
need hotel accommodations and a rental car."
"Of course," she replied with a smile. "What about the place for the
meeting?"
"Find something in the La Jolla area, upscale, but discrete," he
replied.
Robin nodded as she sat down at her computer.
"What about the client?" she asked as she typed. "I know you know the
basics about her, but do you want me to start digging deeper?"
"You can give it a shot, but I doubt you'll find much," he replied.
"Ooo, a challenge," replied Robin with a big grin on her face.
Bill smiled back.
Robin had only been his personal assistant for six months.
In one of his previous jobs he had rescued Robin. The truth of the
matter was that he had been contracted to kill her. At the time Robin
was a teenage boy who was being transformed into a feminized slave.
Bill was tasked to kill her and her tormentors in order to protect his
employer. Bill killed the tormentors and faked Robin's death. He had
then brought her to his home in Curacao and helped her transition the
rest of the way.
Initially he had no intention of hiring her as he preferred to work
alone, but now he considered her indispensable. She quickly mastered
all of his research databases and had found a few new ones.
Additionally he was also very fond of the young woman, almost as if she
was his own flesh and blood. In some sense she was, as he had saved her
life, and in some cultures that meant more than blood relationship. He
was very pleased when she took his last name as her own.
Since she arrived in Curacao, Robin had changed her appearance
dramatically from the Goth look that had been forced upon her. Now her
skin was deeply tanned and her short hair was light brown in color.
"Okay everything is set up," she stated as she began to print out his
travel paperwork. "Everything is in Mr. William Rose's name."
"Great," he replied. Only a handful of people knew his real name.
"I'll get started on Kiyoke Jamison," she continued. "If I turn up
anything good I will send it to you."
"Thank you Miss Moneypenny," he replied.
Robin smiled back. "So what do you think of this one?"
He shrugged. "I won't know until I get there. She might be legitimate."
Robin frowned.
"You don't really think that, do you?"
"I have to go in there with an open mind. She's obviously has something
to hide. The question is, just how dirty is her secret? She won't open
up to me if she doesn't trust me," he said.
"Okay, but be careful...you're the closest that I have to family,"
replied Robin.
"No worries, Kid," he replied.
Robin frowned again.
"Seriously, you mean the world to me," she said.
"I know...and you mean a lot to me too," he replied.
"Okay. Um, can I use all our resources to check on her?" asked Robin.
"Keep it internal for now. I don't want to play our trump card too
often," he replied.
Robin nodded. "Okay, I'll see what I can turn up."
Chapter 20
Ally and Carol discussed work as they had dinner.
"The Director was very pleased that your team caught those bank
robbers," said Ally.
"We owe a lot to Michelle and her team," replied Carol.
"He knows that. That was pretty smart of Sam to pick up on the football
references."
Carol nodded as she took a bite of her steak.
"Reminds me of another agent," said Carol.
Ally smiled back as she instinctively rubbed her shoulder.
Carol cocked her head.
"You okay?"
"It's just an old habit..." said Ally. "You know, maybe we should make
it mandatory that all our agents participate in the football pool this
season; what do you think?"
"Maybe. I just know that I wouldn't have made the connection of the
names to the robberies. The suspects admitted that they committed the
robberies so that they could afford a luxury box for the Redskins home
games," said Carol with disgust. "Imagine, spending life in prison just
so they could party at a football game."
"They'll be lucky if they even see any of the games on TV in prison. At
least they didn't hurt anyone," said Ally.
"That's true," said Carol.
Ally leaned back. "Sam is pretty sharp."
"Yes she is. I hope I can get her back, but if she doesn't pass the
physical I wouldn't mind her working for Michelle."
"I agree," said Ally. "She's too good to lose."
Chapter 21
Bill looked at his watch as he waited for the arrival of Kiyoke
Jamison. He was intrigued by her offer of employment as she had a
perfectly clean record. Bill knew that this usually meant something was
up, but to what it was he would have to wait until his meeting.
Kiyoke arrived at the scheduled time.
"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rose," she stated as they shook hands. "I
have heard good things about you."
She studied the muscular man and quickly determined that he could
obviously defend himself.
"Thank you, Ms. Jamison," he replied.
"Please call me Kiyoke," she said as she sat down in one of the hotel
room's leather armchairs.
"Very well, Kiyoke," he replied as he sat down across from her.
"I need someone of your experience," she stated. "My current security
is inadequate."
"What is the nature of your business?" he asked.
Kiyoke cocked her head. "How did you know it's not for personal
security?"
"First, you came here alone...so you obviously aren't worried about
your own security. Second, your husband's company has an excellent
security system, so it doesn't concern him," he explained.
"Very good, you are everything that I was told," she replied. "Yes, it
is for a private business concern that I have."
"And what is it?" he asked.
She shook her head. "That is not your concern...at least not until I
hire you."
"That's not the way I work. Either tell me everything or I walk," he
stated. "If I don't take the job your interview fee pays for my
silence."
She stared at him for several moments as she contemplated her answer.
"I am not used to people talking to me like this," she stated.
"No, I imagine you're not. But it's the way I work. You can quite
easily hire anyone to be a yes-man. In this line of work you get better
results if you get someone who is free to speak their mind. It's not
personal. I understand that if I accept your offer I will work for you
and I will give you the proper respect, but I must have the ability to
disagree with you and to speak freely when it comes to doing my job. If
you don't do as I say then I will leave."
Kiyoke smiled slightly.
"I see," she replied. "Very well. I run a very special service to a
very selective and rich clientele."
Bill just nodded.
"I have a process that allows me to physically and mentally change a
person so that they can better please their master or mistress," she
continued. "It is non-surgical and is very adaptable."
"In what way?" he asked.
"I can change someone appearance...gender...race...and hopefully one
day their species. Additionally I can adjust their mind. They can be
made very submissive...or given other personality traits. The process
is so strong that after a period of time they cannot distinguish it
from their original personality."
"So if you change someone's gender you can make them think that they
have always been the new gender?"
"That is correct," she replied. "Obviously this is a very rare
procedure and therefore I can get whatever I want. I am very selective
who I offer it to."
"So what are your pressing security concerns?" he asked.
"I need full backgrounds check of all clients. I'm also concerned about
my own employees. I want to maintain a monopoly."
"I see," replied Bill. "Where do you conduct your operations?"
"Mexico," she replied. "Outwardly it appears to be a private clinic. In
fact for most of the year that's exactly what it is used for. When I
use it there is minimal staff, most of which have no idea what I do
there."
"How many full time employees?" he asked.
"Three lab technicians and four security officers."
"Only four?" he asked.
"That's just internal. I pay the local authorities to maintain my
privacy. Of course, they have no idea what I'm doing. They don't know,
or care as long as I pay them," she replied.
"What about the local criminal element?" he asked.
"I pay them the going rate to leave me alone," she replied.
Bill nodded.
"How long are the...clients there?" he asked.
"That depends on the changes. I do have a staff that does housework,
cooking, etc. They are not a worry," she replied as a sly grin appeared
on her face.
Bill nodded.
"So they have been changed to serve you?" he asked.
"That is correct," she replied.
"I see," he replied.
"I have a major job that must occur in the next few weeks. I would like
you to oversee security," she stated. "It will be a one-to-two week
contract."
"And after that?" he asked.
"I will need you to run background checks on clients," she said.
Bill stood up and retrieved his briefcase. He opened it and pulled out
a contract.
Without a word he filled in some blank spaces and then handed it to
Kiyoke.
She picked up the contract and read it.
"You are not cheap," she stated.
"The best never are," he replied.
She read the last paragraph and smiled. "Don't you trust me?"
"I don't trust anyone," he replied casually. "It's why I have stayed
alive so long. That is my life insurance. Should anything happen to me
your name will be sent to some associates of mine. There is no place on
this planet that you will be safe."
"What sort of associates?" she asked.
"Professional assassins. I did a favor for them once. They swore a
blood-oath to avenge me should it be necessary. They take these sorts
of things very seriously," he stated seriously.
This was no bluff. One of the sons of the group's leader was captured.
He faced torture and execution. The father contacted Bill and requested
that his son be spared such a humiliation. There was no way to help the
young man to escape so he did the next best thing. Bill managed to slip
into the prison and kill the young man. The father was pleased that his
son's honor was not lost and made the blood-oath.
"Very intelligent," she replied as she took out a pen and signed the
contract. She then handed it to Bill. "I would like a copy."
"Of course," he replied. "The contact will include instructions for
depositing my salary."
"I will call you later this week and give the location of the
facility," she stated.
"Very good," he said.
"I like you Mr. Rose, I feel like I can trust you," she stated with a
smile.
"I doubt that," he replied. "I doubt a woman like you trusts anyone."
She laughed slightly. "Very good. I look forward to working with you."
Chapter 22
Bill arrived back in Curacao the next day. As soon as he arrived back
he updated Robin on the trip and Kiyoke.
"Ugh, no offense, but she sounds like a real sick bitch," said Robin.
"I have to agree," he replied. "A real piece of crap, that one is. I've
dealt with some sick people before but she's far beyond anyone else."
"So are you going to turn her in?" asked Robin.
He shook his head as he opened up a cold Amstel beer.
"No, I have to verify what she told me first. If she's telling me the
truth then this process has some extremely frightening uses," he said
as he sat took a long drink of the beer.
"That means that you'll have to see the process work, right?" she asked
nervously.
"I'm afraid so...and if it does then I have to think of a way of
shutting it down. If it can do everything she says it can then it has
to be destroyed. No good can come from it," he said.
Robin sat down across from him. "And you're just going to let it
happen?"
"Look, I don't like seeing people hurt anymore than you do...but I have
to be careful so I don't expose my real goals. If she has been doing
what she says she can do then I'll shut her down, but I have to learn
her operation first. What if she has partners? Another facility?" he
explained.
"You're right...can I do anything to help?" asked Robin.
He took another long drink and emptied the beer. He got up to get
another one, but he stopped first.
"Yes," he replied. "See if any employees of LT Imports have disappeared
in the past year."
Robin smiled and stood up. "I'm on it!"
Chapter 23
Two days later Kiyoke called Bill.
"I have a request for you," she stated.
"What do you need?" he asked.
"I want you to run a background check on my security team," she said.
"Sure, when do you want the report?"
"As soon as possible...as I alluded to, I have a major job coming up
and I can't afford any security leaks," replied Kiyoke.
"I'll get right on it," he replied.
"Good, I will send you the file," she stated as she hung up.
Bill downloaded the file sent by Kiyoke. There were four names on the
list.
He showed the list to Robin.
"I suspect that she already knows one...or more of these guys are
dirty," said Bill. "Find me the proof."
"Okay," she replied. "Oh, I have that first task completed. LT Imports
has lost eight employees in the past two years. Two look like
legitimate accidents, but the other six seem suspicious."
"Why?" he asked.
"All were young single males in management and all had ties to the main
office where Kiyoke's husband works," she replied.
