Chapter 19

“Do these number look right to you?” The mind braking sound of phones ringing and chatter from the taping of key boards.., People talking in circles and their annoying questions. 

“No! Those numbers don’t makes sense.., Here let me show you how to do them right. We don’t wand the IRS sniffing around us later!” Look at them running around like mindless chickens., Tory has been gone for a few days looking into the new feds that they are putting on the Mayors case. “Boss….” For the past week I’ve had a hard time sleeping.., And there is that weird feeling that I’m missing something.

“Boss.., We need you on plant earth now..,” What could I be missing? Tory keeps track of everything, And I’ve never been careless with any of my things… 

“BOSS..! PLANET EARTH NOW!!” The woman throwing a hissy fit in-front of me is Celia, Though her name suggests that she should be gentle and kind she is far from it. “Yes.., What is it Celia.” I shoot her a glare, Why does she always have to disturb me. 

“I am sorry for raising my voice but Sir, There are a few more ‘expenses’ that I needed to deal with from the Mayors party… And well let’s say the clean up was more expensive this time.” I nod. “Were the expenses ‘easy’ to retrieve?” I do so hate that I have to use this verbal mumbo jumbo shit in case the blue bloods are some how able to get past the security, God forbid they are able to plant bugs!

“Yes they where, It’s never to hard for me to do my job! Especially since you are so kind as to provide me with the best tools!” She smirks. “But.., There are a few more things I’ve included in this report.” 

She places a menial folder in front of me and slides it across my desk, Grabbing it I place it on the others that also need me to look through them. 

“Please do look over it as soon as possible, And if that’s all you need from me I’ll be off.” She takes a step back. “Wait, There is one more thing I need from you be fore you go.” She nods then takes a seat right in front of me on my right.

“After Tory returns we will have a more definitive answer, But till then here is all the information on the target you will need.” With a pompous grin she nods, Taking the stack of papers I gave to her.

“I think I’ll actually look forward to this job, Even if it’s not as bloody as my usual ones!” She chuckled as she left, Ah…. And just like Troy she did NOT close the dam door! Getting up I walk to the door, Just before I’m able to close it the assistant #1 walks up to me with a unfamiliar face behind him.

“Sir you have a visiter.” I nod walking back to my desk and sitting down. “Sir., This is Flint Wellborn he is applying for your third assistant position.” I nod again, gesturing to the seat in front of me. 

“It’s wonderful to meet you sir! I’m very exited to meet you! I have always wanted to work here!” I look him over a few times, He seems decent enough. “It’s good to meet you Flint.” He gives me a big smile.

“Do you need my resume? I have-“ I push away the paper. “If you made it this far Flint your resume needs to be impeccable, So. Now.., Its just down to the verbal interview.” I pull a bottle of water from under my desk. “So Flint., Wow me.” Flint smiled.

“Wow! What an opportunity! Thank you so very Much!” Flint Started to explain why he chose my company, And a few things about himself. Strengths, Weaknesses, And a couple of his hobbies.

“Sir there is not much more to explain about me.”

He shifted forward in his seat. “So then Flint what are you offering me then, This is your first position in this industry… After all you are fresh out of collage.”

He seemed to get flustered, But then again nothing is ever as it seems.. “Well Sir, Allow me to explain it this way I’m a hard worker! I never back down from a challenge and I enjoy helping people!” I could feel the features of my face starting to twist. 

“Helping people., Thats not the job you are interviewing for.., Unless I missed something.” 

Ah.., There it is. A bubble of frustration. “Sir.., It is of my understanding that I would be helping you.” Flint folds his hands together on his lap. “But Sir… I do know that it does Intel being willing to do ‘anything’ for you, As all my predecessors where useful ‘tools’ to this very company, To you, And your father.” I laughed at his words.

“Willing to do anything now! You are suppose to say within reason!” Flint looked down. “So.” I clapped my hands together making a sharp loud sound making him slightly jump in his seat. “Lets start with you sighing the NDA agreement.” Pulling the NDA paper from my desk drawer, I slid it across the table. 

“I’m hired! Really., You are giving me a chance!” I only nodded in reply to him, With out second thought he signed his name on the dotted line. 

“Thank you Sir!” I smiled at him. “Welcome aboard Flint. Once you leave here go right back to the front to get your photo taken for your ID.” He jumped from his seat, Shook my hand and rushed out the door.

At first I thought he was just a nervous fresh out of collage idiot who thought he could land a big fancy job with high pay right out of the gate.., But after I gave him some real thought… I realized something: He was too calm for a fresh out of collage student.

He’s a spy. 

His pen had given him away, Leaving it on my desk right in pen stand, In a way it was genius. 

If I where not in my right mind I would play it off as one of mine, And if I did not notice at all I would go on without even giving it a second thought. 

Clever indeed, Grabbing the pen I placed it in the drawer of my desk in a black bag. 

“Time to go home.” 

Do they really think I’m that easy… I feel somewhat insulted at the idea, Well Blue bloods are all the same. 

Soon Troy will be returning and we will see if my suspicion is confirmed or if I’m loosing my touch.

Arriving in the lobby I wait for John to bring the car round, I pull out my phone looking at the last message I sent I realize I never replied to Lana’s last message.. 

I feel a light sense of guilt? 

Deimos: I did have a good night… Some would say    

Wonderful. :)

I waited for a moment after sending it…., Why had she not read it yet…

Deimos: Since you would like to do it again, How 

does the Wednesday a week and a half from now 

sound?

 I wait for a moment again after sending it.., Tory you better hurry and get you ass back here. Or…, Maybe I should call her. 

Lana: That sounds sooooooooooooo good! I have 

been braking my back over my work and it is 

killing me!!!!! And stupid SO CALLED  'EDITOR’ is 

NEVER SATISFIED WITH HOW I DO ‘ROMANTIC 

SEENS’ AT LEAST YUMI LIKED IT SHE SAID IT WAS 

PERFECT!!!!!!…… Ahhh., Sorry…… You don’t even 

know who I’m talking about.. heh, But! I would love 

to go to something with you! I neeeeeeed a break

from work!

From the vibration of my phone I almost drop it, A thing I have never done before. Reading over her message I glaze over most of it but zero in on the ‘editor’ she is referring to…, The man from that day in the café.. That must be who she is referring to, I remember he was dismissing her story. Is that not the point of writing, To use the imagination.

I quickly type out a reply to her.

Deimos: Then I shall see you Wednesday for 

breakfast, And maybe something more if you are 

upper it afterword? 

I silently waited for her response, Looking up I cook see John who was becoming me to come to the car. Rushing I do so, If she accepts the afterward there will be much to plan.

Lana: Yes! And sure, A longer outing! My legs will 

thank you for it! I have been siting way more then I 

would like to admit. See you soon!!!!

Before I could even reach the car she had replied. Good, She answered just as I wanted her too.

Deimos: Good, I will see you then. 

Getting into the car I told John to take his time on the way back, First and foremost I need to inform the inner ring of our new little spy friend, And then I will need to plan for the day with Lana.

John Rounds the corner where we see my usual yet random Blue blood surveillance team, John always gives them the bird as we pass but its just under the dash of the car. Why must he be a childish idiot, Looking back at my phone I get a check in for Troy.

Gladiator of Troy: Fly have been found and let out.

The code he sends me is simple.., He has safely acquired the information we need and will be delivering it to me shortly. He has impeccable timing for someone who is always looking to get into a fight before he gets what he wants, And thats what makes him the right hand man. 

Looking out the window I quite my mind, Sooner or later I always get what I want.
