End Game

Cara reached the river's edge late in the afternoon.  She said low but began setting up, making

sure the jungle canopy provided her with cover.  The embankment provided the perfect cover

and a sprawling view of the mine on the opposite side.  She finished her preparations then

relaxed and waited for the call.

‘Yen’s data theft was the final piece, everything tied together, we now have a completeorganizational structure and who sits at the centre of it all,’ David Jacobs said.  

Mai’s data from her contacts in the shipping also say the same thing,’ Tina Samuels added.

‘It’s this piece here that really interests me,’ Claire said, I think there’s more to this section than

we are seeing,’ she answered walking to the projection David had on the screen of the meeting

room.  ‘Tell Cara to go ahead and Mai’s contacts as well.  I want to give as big a piece of dessert

as I can to our partners, that way we get what we want out of this.  If all goes as planned we will

know in a few hours.’

^^^

The mine was empty, save for a few security guards who Cara made sure were far enough away

before she began. The spy slipped on the ear muffs to cancel the noise, flipped up the covers on

the scope sighted the rifle then flipped off the safety.  She had already picked out her targets. 

Cara made short work of the four ten round magazines she had.  The 50 cal shells blasted in

machines and equipment at the mine site, chunks of metal, shards of wood filling the air mixed

with the satisfying pings of the spent shell casings. ‘Best for last Cara,’ she said squeezing the

trigger and watching the 500 gallon gas storage tank explode in a fireball. She disassembled the

gun, packed it up and headed off into the jungle for her rendezvous downstream with a river

trading boat. 

^^^

‘Let it buzz,’ Yen said, seizing his wrist and placing it above his head as she slightly increased

her rocking.  ‘I demand total attention and you are far too at attention for anything else,’ she

cooed as her hips churned around sending thrills and delights into both of them. 

They had a rhythm together by now and Yen used it and her considerable skills to inducemaximum pleasure for the both of them.  Her last paspin g thrusts finished him and the session.  After they had both shower she left him alone with his phone and then his laptop which he usedin a more speedy manner than normal although she pretended to take no notice as she relaxedin the other room.

‘I’m sorry but I have to cut this wonderful time together short.  There has been an incident at the

mine and it appears with one of the shipments.  Nothing to do with you or Cara, it appears more

crime at the docks,’ he said.  Yen looked concerned and threw her arms around him in a tight

embrace.

‘Wherever it is we’ll fix it together, I have friends in places that owe me so I can help if you’ll let

me,’ she said.

Before he could answer she gave him a small kiss and went into the bedroom and startedpacking.  She packed up her clothes, checked her makeup in the bathroom and checked her textin the hidden compartment of her compact.  The message told her all the information she needed.  

^^^

‘That’s everything, I cross matched all the names and email addresses even have real time

tracking on the ones with location turned on in their cellphones to make it easier for them to be

picked up.  I’ve uploaded all the data to a secure server and cut any back doors into our system. 

At this point it's just a matter of informing all the concerned parties so they can execute their

plans,’ David Jacobs said.

‘You should get some sleep, you’ve been at this for days with little or no rest,’ Claire said.

‘I’ll crash soon enough, but this was so exciting to do, all the algorithms and big data analysis. 

For computer geeks this is an adrenaline rush of the highest order!  My team and I feel like

we really are part of everything,’ he added.

‘You and your team are part of FORCE all the time, hope you know that.  Sure all the glamour

and, well that other stuff, I don’t think I need to say anything else, you have experienced some

of it with Rachel, that’s the sizzle, you’re the steak, to borrow a marketing term.  Modern

espionage is almost all cyber backed or cyber run these days, without you and your team we’re

nothing at all.  Schedule a full department meeting, in fact make it a celebration, order food and

refreshments, so I can come, with some of others to thank you properly.  Now having said that I

want to make sure we get all we wanted from this deal,’ Claire said.

‘Fear not, I anticipated that so I have not uploaded certain key pieces until you have the

guarantees you want,’ David smiled.

‘Who says you're not a spy,’ Claire countered. 

^^^

After David had left Claire called Alice.

‘It falls to you, you’re the closest.  I don’t want to expose any of our other agents, neither sideneeds to know more than they do.  They’ll be time for that in the future.  This chess game iscoming to an end, but I don’t need to sacrifice any more assets to win.’

‘By that you mean exposing more agents.  I understand I will take care of things I just need 48

hours.  I will call you once I have finished the operation,’ Alice answered.

Claire was hoping for less than that but she did not question Alice’s timeframe, she had vastly for

experience at this.  

^^^

‘Your Mandarin is still as flawless as ever.  It has been a long time, even for us,’ he said.

‘Too long, I trust you got my letters?’ Alice answered.

‘Still as cautious as ever.  We appreciate it and we cherish those letters, he said, opening up adrawer to show her.  That old cipher still works a treat, no sense other people knowing things,’he smiled.

‘I take it things are still the same?’ she said her voice dropping and concern coming into it.

‘Yes,’ 

‘I think I have a solution, one that will benefit all.  My question is are you ready for it?’ Alice asked.

‘My goodness you need not lower your voice like you're talking about a taboo subject, you knowI can hear everything and if a may be permitted to answer for us, yes we are both ready,’ abeautiful young woman said as she came into the room holding a tray with tea.

Alice waited until she had set it down before they embraced, the hug telling her the answer wastrue.

^^^

Alice had Fan Li make the arrangements for her to meet Fei Ling Zhao.  It was a simple one to

set up given Fan made it all about money and power.  Alice wanted to put Fei at ease so she

suggested they meet at her place and Fei of course accepted.  

Alice chose a basic dress, not a power suit , something comfortable and disarming.  Alice

knocked on the big double doors and Fei greeted her looking stunning in a blue dress. The

greeting was cool but cordial, Fei leading the way to her study.library when she had tea ready

for a welcome.  The two sat opposite each other in a room that was more colonial in design,

dark wood, but mixed with eastern influences, screens, secondary pieces of furniture and

accents that gave it an odd but somehow calming look.  Fei poured them tea in an elegant

understated manner, her economy of motion a pleasure to watch.  She set down the pot, smiled

and came straight to the meeting point.

‘So I understand Miss Fan Li says you have a business offer for me.  I’m always interested in

new ventures.’

‘It's actually just me that has the offer, other interested parties I represent know nothing about

this,’ Alice smiled and watched for a reaction which she got, others would have missed it, but her

many years in China were spent on more than just martial arts.  Fei knew nothing, time was

important in this matter, she so pressed tight to the point.

‘We, meaning myself and the party I represent, know all about your business interests and theextracurricular information you gather and use.  I must say it's impressive, an extensive web ofinfluential people, some willing, some coerced into working for you,’ Alice explained.

‘I have no idea what you’re on about Miss Hamilton.  It’s not assuming, frankly it's a waste of mytime, please leave.’ Fei said in an almost convincing tone.

‘Really, is this what you’re looking for?’ Alice said, opening her hand.

‘I’m afraid the cat’s out of the bag.  I’ll speak bluntly because time is of the essence,’ Alice began

as she got up and walked about behind the chair.  ‘You have less than 48 hours to live!  All your

network has been exposed, as we speak there are people getting ready to pounce on them and

I think we both know what happens after that.  The lucky ones will disappear into secret facilities,

the not so lucky will simply disappear and you my dear will be grouped with the latter.’

‘Who do you work for?’ Fei asked.

‘Is that really all that important right now, it will not change the outcome,’ Alice countered. ‘I can

tell you remain unconvinced, open my briefcase and take a look for yourself, it's all there.’

Alice could see the metaphorical dagger being driven home and even though this was businessshe did not like it. She came back to the table, sat down and placed the pistol between them.

‘Them or me, the old game, well at least you’re giving me a choice,’ Fei said in a defeated tone. 

‘A choice yes, but not this one, “Alice said in an alarmed voice slipping her hand over the

weapon as Fei looked up.  ‘I admire you, what you built, what brains, cunning and savvy that

took, but you pushed it too far, you got people worried, the wrong people, now they and others

want to punish you for their weaknesses, their foolishness and well, to be honest, stupidity.  You

asked me who I work for.  It’s called FORCE, run by a very special woman who I love very much,

Claire Baxter.  My Claire is excellent at what she does, but sometimes, she thinks too short term.

She cannot see tomorrow because she is too busy winning today. This is one of those times,

she believes in a clear winner and a clear loser.  But, in this case she fails to see the opportunity

of three winners, well actually two winners and a happy loser.’

‘And which one am I?’ Fei asked.

‘Oh, most assuredly a winner,  but it will require you to give something up to achieve it,’ Alice

smiled.  She took her hand off the gun and gave a slight nod.  Out of nowhere a man appeared at

the side of the table, seemingly as if he had materialized from the corner of the room. Fei startled

and came to her feet taking a step back and around the chair.  

‘Where the hell did you come from?’  she managed to gasp.

‘I’ve been here all along, my apologies for startling you, Alice thought it would be a good idea,but I went along with it, so again, my apologies, he said holding out his hand.

‘Fei Ling Zhao I would like to meet Han Xiao Wang, a very wonderful man I’ve had the pleasureof knowing for many years,’ Alice said.  Fei reached out and took the offered hand, more of areflex action than a settling of nerves.  She didn’t notice his hand was cold, her mind still whirlingon his sudden appearance on top of all that she had been told.

‘I think I had best be over here while we do this,’ Alice said as she took a spare chair and placed

it next to Fei’s who she guided back into her seat and Han took the one Alice vacated.

Alice looked at Han and she looked at him.  ‘Well how do you want to handle this, judging byhow it's gone so far, you’re off to a great start,’ he said, his voice teasing her.

‘Fei, look at me,’ Alice said, talking her hands in hers.  Han and I mean you no harm, nothing isgoing to happen unless you want it to.  I am here, we are here to help you,’ she said looking atHan.

‘What does help mean?’ she said, here eyes dancing back from Alice to Han.

‘You got into this whole business after they retired you.  They took an experienced operative,smart and if I may add, sext, cast her aside because she was no longer what they deemeddesirable for a female field agent.  In other words, you got old, Alice reminded her.

‘Foolish reason I suppose, I mean I knew someday that would come, but it hurt so bad when theytold me, just cast me aside, made me feel worthless, no compassion, I suppose I shouldn’t haveexpected any, but this was my side telling me, they didn’t even give me a chance to fail,’ Feiexplained her voice upset at the memory.

‘I’m going to tell you something then Han is going to show you something.  You’re going to bescared, hold on to my hands and remember what I promised you. Are you ready?’

Fei for all her years as a spy and the head of a massive covert intelligence company looked

terrified.

‘Han is jiangshi,’ Alice said in a calm voice and with that Han got up and walked around the room

slowly vanishing from the view then coming back into it.  

‘I can’t do it for a long time, even shorter when moving, it requires a great deal of energy and

concentration,’ he said as he sat back down again.

‘Fei tried to get out of her seat, but Alice was on her in a flash, holding her as she struggled, thechair tipping over and away across the floor from the force.  Alice was on top of Fei’s squirmingand kicking body pinning her to the floor, Han looked alarmed.

‘This was a mistake,’ his voice full of concern.

‘You didn’t have any suggestions when I asked,’ Alice retorted, then looked at Fei.  ‘No, no, no,calm honey, look at me, focus on my face, relax, you're safe in my arms. I know, I know, it seemsimpossible, a nightmare, but it's real and there is nothing to be afraid of, you have my word,’Alice softly said then kissed her cheeks and head then hugged her for what seemed a long timebefore she felt Fei relax.  ‘You’re safe with us, forget all that nonsense people told you aboutjiangshi, none of it is true.  Han doesn’t bounce to get around, he doesn’t need to devour peopleand well, as you can see, he’s handsome, well I think so, and he’s an excellent dresser.’

‘Thank you,’ Han said and bowed.

Alice stroked Fei’s hair in a soothing sweep.  ‘How old are you?’ Fei finally asked.

‘That’s always the first question, isn’t it,’ he smiled and laughed looking at Alice.

By this time Alice had managed to get Fei to her feet, the Countess was behind her, holding heraround the waist in the protective hug, her face over the left shoulder of Fei in a hug.  

‘I’m actually 33, but that is when I changed.  I was born in 1636. I was an officer in The GreatQing Army.  I was leading my men through a deep valley, the forest closed in about us on bothsides then a fog descended into the valley, so thick I could not see two paces in front of me.The men and horses began to panic when they heard noises coming from the fog and sharpblasts of air as things ran by.  When I emerged from the fog, that stopped like a curtain I saw her,then I didn’t then I did again, just I as showed you and I had the same reaction you did.  This tome was an evil spirit of the forest and she had taken all the men and now it was me she wanted.I drew my sword determined to die a soldier,’ he smiled.  ‘Remember the time frame this iscoming from, and continued.  ‘She walked toward me, my body tensed but as she came closershe held up a wooden scroll for me to take.  It was written from my superior to my subordinate.I had never seen it before.  Seems I was to be assassinated so that they and their families couldmove up in ranks.  It was all a political power play and I was the pawn in the way.  She haddriven them off the path with her whirlwind running and voices from the forest, so much so theymissed the fork that I took out of the fog.  She assured me they would be safe after a while.Her name is Xiao Chen Tao, a princess from the Shang Dynasty from 2070 BC.  There was nota word for what she was then, the word jiangshi did not exist yet, people would have justregarded her as an evil forest spirit.  She led me to safety and kept me safe for months and I fellin love with her and she me.  You can guess the rest,’ he concluded.

‘You’re almost 400 years old?’ Fei said in a low voice, hardly believing it.

‘Alice is older, she was born in the 1300’s,’ Han said and Alice felt Fei tense.

‘But you’re warm,’ Fei said suddenly remembering how cold Han was.

‘It’s a long story Fei, but I will tell you and it has a happy ending,’ Alice said, giving her a softsqueeze.  ‘Are you able to sit down again?’

Fei gave Alice a nod and the Countess helped her into the chair, Han having retrieved and

uprighted it for her.

Fei sat still for a while, the others could tell her mind was racing, to what or where, that theycould not determine.

‘You want to turn me into a jiangshi so I can escape my fate,’ she said.

‘No,’ Han answered.  ‘I do not want that, only you can want that, only you can make that choice,I cannot take it from you, it never works that way, well almost never and he looked at Alice wholooked at Fei and related her story, but unfortunately that outcome could not be repeated andthat this was the only way.  

‘So I have to die to live, become a monster,” Fei said, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

‘Not the first time I’ve heard that,’ Alice said.  ‘I’m sure it's the same for you?’ she added looking

at Han.

‘I don’t have a heartbeat, I’m cold to the touch as a result, I don’t age, I can’t change into anotheranimal, bat, wolf, dragon, those things are true.  What is untrue is, I can see myself in a mirror, Ionly need about a normal vile of blood you give for a lab test twice a year.  I can go out in thesun, I do eat and like food and no I don’t turn everyone or in fact anyone I meet into my personalarmy of the undead.  Oh that last part sounded like a bad movie cliche,’ Han grimaced.  

‘So if I give myself to you then I can become like you?’ Fei asked.

‘No, not me. I think it’s time my love,’ he said, Xiao Chen Tao came out of the shadows and

appeared beside Han.. Fei pushed against Alice, not because a second apparition had appeared

to her in less than five minutes, it was Xiao’s beauty that caused the reaction.

Xiao bowed to Fei as a sign of respect to an elder then turned to Han and Alice.

‘You both did a wonderful job, but I think, if you agree,’ she said looking at Fei.  ‘That we needsome privacy.’

Fei nodded and undid Alice’s arms, the Countess and Han left the room as Xiao sat in one chair

and Fei took the other.  Xiao slipped her hands into Fei’s, the woman taking them willingly.

‘You have a strong fire in you, rare, I can feel it warming me.  Alice always knows.  I have lived avery long life Fei, a full one, but I’m tired. I have had enough of this world and want to move on,to something or nothing.  I love Han and he loves me enough to let me go, it's my time, just as itwas Alice’s time, she just chose a different path than me, but when you have lived as long asshe has another 50 or 60 years is not much more to wait, but for me even that time is becomingunbearable.  This is my desire but it has to be yours as well and it must be total.  ‘You mustsurrender to me totally when the moment comes, you will know it, I do not need to say anything.We will for the briefest time become one entity, you and I together, but separate, all that we aretogether in harmony, then we will pass into each other's bodies, you will stay in mine and I willpass into yours and after a moment no clock can measure, I will depart.  if we do it right there isno regret, no hesitation, only joy and pure love for each other.  I wish to die like that knowingyou will live like that.’

Fei looked at her,  she could not believe what was happening to her and others, but she knew

one thing for certain.  ‘You are no longer cold,’ she answered and Xiao smiled as Fei got up, took

Xiao by the hand and led her out of the room, down the hall and into her bedroom.  The act

seemed normal to her although she had never been with a woman before, she closed the door

gently behind them.  

There was nothing hurried, they tenderly took turns removing each other's clothes.  Xiao kissedFei’s forehead, then cheeks a finger sweeping her back then languidly pulling down the zipperof the dress while undid the buttons on Xiao’s, her skilled fingers pitching the button through thematerial, Xiao feeling the thrill of her nail in just for the briefest of moments against her skin, thengone, the longing desire fulfilled as it returned to the next.  

Hands brushed against her back and into the folds of the open dress, Xiao’s fingers sparking

against Fei’s back before a sweep, tender and slow released the dress from Fei’s shoulders. 

Xiao’s shoulders followed suit, her body thrilling to the touch of a skilled lover as Fei’s hands

cupped around her small pert breasts and easily brought her nipples to erectness, Xiao’s body

quivering from the caressing, that motion releasing Fei’s upper body from her dress, she in

ecstasy that a lover could be so skilled as to use her body to disrobe her.  

The two dresses dropped off their respective hips, the duo casually letting the motion of theirundulating bodies free themselves from the last encumbrances the two slipped into bed, only athin silk sheet covering their naked forms.  A slow loving entwining of arms and legs began, eachone understanding the other as they came together in wonderful blss, Fei burning with passion,Xiao embraced in a lover more than she, in her long life, had ever been, Fei’s warm bodyseeping its fire into hers as they settled in place and loved each other into one flesh and onebeing,  

Fei and Xiao lost themselves to each other, it was peaceful and still as Xiao, unknown to her andFei bit her lover, neither noticed it, but the one entity did and it rejoiced in the total bonding, allof the two came together at one moment, each knew the other, nothing was spared, two lightsmerged into one then separated from each other, neither sad, both joyfull for the communion. Fei looked the longest as the lights traveled apart to their respective new homes, Fei could feelherself immersing into a new shell, but at the last moment she saw the far light flicker, the pulsingbeam showing something it was traveling toward and she felt it express one final thought to her,it was happy and excited.

Fei’s eyes flickered open,  She got out of the bed carefully, thinking she might be unsteady in

her new body, but she was fine.  The new body moved like she did when she was that age, but

as she looked in the mirror on the wall she saw Xiao.  It shocked her at first, but as hard as it was

to admit, there was an improvement.  Fei was younger and prettier.  She slipped in her robe and

moved to the door, catching the latch she emerged into the light of the day to Alice and Han

carefully placing the body of Fei.

‘Sure they’ll buy this?’  Alice asked.

 

‘They’ll be too interested in the body to check anything and in too much of a hurry to get rid of it

to do an autopsy.  But if they do, trust me, they’ll find exactly what we want them to find.  I have

some experience in this area,’ Han answered, then looked up to see Fei.

‘She is very happy and excited,’ Fei said to him.

‘How about you?’ he asked.

‘Nervous and well a little unsure of my future,’ Fei answered.

‘Put that at rest, I’ve seen to certain matters Han will fill you in, but we must leave very soon,events are already unfolding and it would not do for any of us to be here, Alice explained.

‘I thought we had 48 hours?’ Fei said.

‘You and Xiao were together for more than a day,’ Han answered.

‘I have no memory of time and even now I remember less and less of her and us,’ Fei said, hervoice catching.

‘It's designed that way so the new person has no ties to the old, no regrets.  A new start,’Alice said.  ‘I purchased a new set of clothes for you, there in the bathroom, get dressed wehave to go.’

‘Yim Wing-chun, my master, told me this once.  ‘Aged ginger is more pungent.’

‘Meaning your wiser than me,’ Claire answered.

‘Let’s just say I have more experience than you and to learn from that, you must step throughthe open door I offer,’ Alice answered.

‘My first step then is to let you handle the operation from here on.  That means getting thecasino/hotel complex built, taking advantage of our new found trust with the mainlandgovernment and working with SALON to make them even better than they already are andgetting them deeper into other countries.  I have a feeling  we may experience pushback fromcertain areas on this victory,’ Claire explained. ‘Pull resources from other areas if you have to,not to suggest anyone to the master, but Tina Samuels would be an excellent choice,’ she addedwith a smile.

They walked on for a bit till they came to Claire’s office, they hugged.

‘Do you know where Fei is now, Great Gran?’ Claire asked.

‘Yes, but all you need to know is she’s with people who will teach, love and accept her.

‘And the 200 million that nobody can seem to find from Fei’s accounts?’ Claire asked knowing

the answer.  

‘Starting over doesn’t mean starting with nothing,’ Alice smiled.

Short Tales

Career Change

‘Wonderful to see you again, Miss Baxter.  I have your favourite table as requested, if you will

follow me.’

Claire was escorted into the Thames Foyer to her usual place and seated, she drawing eyes

as they went

'Will guests be joining you today Miss?’ he asked.

Just one, a Miss Darcy Tompkins,’ she smiled.

‘Very good Miss Baxter.  ‘Can I get you anything in the meantime?’

‘No thank you,’ Claire answered.

Claire looked about the room, she had, of course, been here many times before, but The Savoynever failed to impress, in style, service and discreteness.  Claire knew the Maitre D recognizedthe name of her guest, she was famous of course, in certain circles, but discretion  was what

Savoy was famous for.  

Claire did not have long to wait. Darcy made her way from the entrance toward her table, eyes

on her guest now, some knew who she was other’s by her cool beauty and skilled choice of

fashion.  Claire stood up, smiled and shook her hand, the two sat down, a waiter appeared,

tea was ordered along with finger sandwiches, after that, the highlight, the famous dessert carts.

'Quite a wonderful choice, extra crunches and miles tonight,’ Claire smiled and selected whatshe wanted.  ‘Oh no, you’re not leaving me out there Darcy, pick a few,’ Claire teased as Darcyresisted.  ‘Very well, you forced me, remember that.  She’ll have that one and yes, that you, itlooks loaded with calories.  Thank you so much,’

When the server had left the two enjoyed their selections, Claire didn’t need to prod Darcyanymore, the dessert did all the tempting.  

‘You’re so bad for me, you always do this to me when we get together, still I shouldn’t complain

too much, you are my biggest fan and as you said extra workouts,’ Darcy smiled as she put a

piece of a chocolate truffle in her mouth and smiled.  ‘Besides, I have time, I’m still in rehab from

the injury.’

‘How’s that coming along?’ Claire asked.

‘Good, ahead of schedule actually.  Next week I’m going in for light workouts, so fingers crossed

you’ll be seeing me on stage sooner than expected,’ Darcy said as she took another bite.

Claire said nothing for a long time.  ‘We’ve been friends for what, 6 years and good friends for 4

of those.’ Seeing no objection Claire pressed on.  ‘If you were doing so well you won’t be eating

that right now.  I know your obsession with weight and discipline, it's what made you a great

dancer and kept you there.’

‘Of course, but a girl has to cut loose now and then, no time like the present, then make a big

comeback, a little reward before the grind again,’ Darcy smiled trying not to show anything.

‘That’s not what I hear,’ Claire said. 

'And who did you hear that from?

‘MI6, they say your career as a prima ballerina is over.  Sure you could dance for secondarycompanies, small communities and the like, but nothing major again,’ Claire said, her voiceserious and calm.

‘MI6!, what are going on about?’

‘I know they recruited you on several occasions to do work for them, nothing big, small time

intelligence on dignitaries and anything you could pick up at parties and as a guest of foreign

recital companies.  Excellent cover and by what I’ve seen you did a very good job, so good in

fact they want you to become a full time agent, now that your career is over,’ Claire stated, then

saw Darcy start to say something so she jumped back in again.  ‘I’ve seen the x-rays, the

ultrasounds, all the other medical results, it's conclusive from all parties concerned.’

Darcy was more than a little nervous at this point, Claire, her friend suddenly had a side she did

not know, a side that knew far too much about her, what was this all about, was she an MI6 agent,

testing her loyalty, a forgein agent looking for Intel or blackmail.  Darcy decided the best course

of action was to leave and go straight to MI6 and report what had happened.  She was a very

small cog, nothing important.  True she had done a few assignments, nothing super spy, James

Bond like, just basic stuff, she was sure nothing she had done was ever of any use or importance,

but being a non professional in the area, how could she be sure?  

‘Before you run away to MI6, I have a better plan, here call them, the numbers on the screen use

your own phone if you wish, the answer will be the same.  ‘Yes we know Miss Baxter well,

extremely effective, work closely with her organisation from time to time, we think, all things

considered you’d have a bigger impact working for her,’ Claire smiled.  ‘We agreed on a prepared

statement.

Darcy just looked at Claire who read her thoughts.

‘Darcy Tompkins, will you come spy with me?’

Agent Trainee Dossier

Name: Darcy Tompkins

Former Profession:  Prima Ballerina

Skills:  To be Determined

Intimate Relations

The paralysing dart found his neck just as things were heating up, she tried to move but was

darted with a muscle relaxant, she crumbled to the floor.  He was placed sitting up in a deliberate

position, unable to move but able to observe.  His partner, Gia, was stripped and two women

began to wrap her as the woman who had darted them stripped him.  Gia had her feeling back

and she twisted and countered, loosening herself as the tangle of females played out before him. 

'Your lover is quite skilled, her body is impressive.  Its really quite erotic to watch, women use

their bodies in various means, this is one of the deadliest, your hard already, I don’t blame you,

but it hardly seems fair, they have her to play with and you have no one, but we can remedy that

easily,’ she hotly said.

Gia watched as the woman applied a Draining Python, a knot she had used many times herself.

She lost her concentration for just a second as she watched the woman work and they took her. 

‘Your partner is now caught, my students have knotted her into a Thai Steam Wrap, their bodies

are coated in a heat activated lotion that loosens the victims muscle while draining their strength.’  

Gia’s beautiful body was entangled in the two students with enough showing that he was aroused.

She didn’t blame him, she was having the same thoughts, his body was wonderful, he watched

the Thai beauty slither about him, her experience feeling about for points to lock into.  Slow and

sexy she worked, a classic Thai woman, tall and thin, perfect for knotting.  She delicately

positioned herself, every movement practiced and alluring and arousing!  She finished an hour

later, Gia was still loosely entwined in the students, he was coiled in her body.  ‘How does it feel

Gia watching another woman wrap around your man, entangle him in my nude form, seduce him

while you watch hopelessly.’  Gia was helpless, she watched the woman lower her head and

take in his cock.  He twisted in delight and Gia watched her lightly move closer.  She watched

him fight her, refusing her siren call, Gia knew it was impossible, he finally climaxed after half an

hour, her coils tightening as he gyrated.  Gia too had been contracted, the students closed around

her, their lotion heating her up. She was wet and dripping and hot, her body covered in a blanket

of flesh.  You’re heating up nicely Gia, the lotion and my students defeating that stubborn body

of yours.  Your man put up an excellent fight but in my mouth his will is useless.’  She turned her

head and pulled him in.  He struggled against her again but she had already picked his lock

once, a second time was much easier.  He thrust frantically in pleasure, she pulled and caressed

him to disgorge his juice as Gia looked on.  The captured female watched her opposite numbers

sylph like body cinch in with each movement of his body and he stilled and she released and

turned to Gia.  ‘I’m getting tighter baby, so’s your partner, in fact she’s being steamed open, look

at her, her skin bronzed and wet, my students twisting the knot into her deeper with each minute

just as I’m creeping about you, my body is deadly, soft but fatal and pleasurable,’ she said

cobbling his soft appendage to hardness in seconds.  Gia watched as she moved her head about

swathing his prong in her soft embrace, he came in seconds, her body quivering about his, she

was sexy and fatal.  She constricted him again and held on, her motion changed, the Draining

Python working easily.  She braced him upright as she worked, her coils advancing slowly,

could she she was in no hurry, she had him, Gia knew, just as she knew when she used it. 

Gia was tight inside the two students, her body overheated and limp and was being crushed

constantly now.  The students moved in unison when she did so they each had her balanced,

she looked at her partner, the woman pulled another from him, his eighth climax.  ‘His stamina

is impressive, but I’m sure I’m

not telling you anything you didn’t know, so is yours,’ she smiled.  ‘A new position, Indonesian

Sea Sponge.’  She opened her mouth and took in his limp member, he was hard again in no time

and she extracted his energy.  She continued, her body twitched as he moved, her mouth seared

into him at will he cumming again and again as she threaded tighter about him.  Gia was finished,

the girls waiting for the word to kill her, Gia watched him struggle as she cummed him with ease,

adjusted her mouth and began again. She pulled five more from him then contracted before she

lowered to finish him. Gia was relieved he wasn’t fighting anymore, the knot was torture for the

male.  She brought him to climax quickly then relaxed and let him go as did the students to Gia.

‘It won’t be that easy Gia,’ she smiled as the student dragged her over and placed her precisely

with her partner then the students took thin stands from a box and began an intricate binding of

the two. 

‘Once these specially treated bamboo strips begin to dry they will contract pulling you two into

The Siamese Spider, the details are inconsequential, you wrap around each other and kill each

other,’ she smiled. ‘Hours away of course, your exhausted bodies will be much too entwined by

then to resist,’ she smiled as her students finished.  

The two exhausted agents lay slumped against each other, neither able to move.  The strands

dried and pulled them tight together within several hours, Gia finding comfort being able to kiss

him as their bodies entwined further.  

‘We’ve been in tight spots before,’ he said, trying to make light of the situation.  ‘I can’t help much,

her technique was very effective.’

‘Conserve your strength, we have a long way to go,’ she answered softly.

As the bamboo tightened around them they were drawn into each other, Gia could feel his

hardening rod sliding along her inner thigh, each pulse of his tip against her soft skin swelling

him further much to her delight.  

‘We’ll be together soon, at least she left us that mercy,’ Gia breathed as she felt his touch just. 

Neither pushed and pulled, she let his magnificent spear pierce her in a slow crawling motion,

her lips drawing over his pounding tip then languidly surrounding his shaft as she sealed him into

her embrace fully over time.  As the strips did their devious deed it shifted the two, stimulating

them, Gia’s body was delectable all the time but this trap made it even more so for him and her

kisses were never more arousing, he came, his body convulsing in joy.  Gia tightened around

him, her body was dangerously in position now as was his.

‘Now honey,’ she said, showing him her hoop earring and smiling.

His mouth and tongue undid the clasp, the sensuous touch releasing her pleasure as she

moaned in joy, her body heaving as best it could.  When she had recovered, she dropped it into

her hand, she fed the open end into the strip and pulled up, the blade on the inside of the hoop

cutting the strand and freeing them.  Gia fell forward on top of him smiling.

‘The pleasure was worth the risk,’ she said and slowly rocked her hips, his arms swirling about

her .  

Perks of the Job

‘Oh you can blame my muscle relaxant lipstick, Prawn Sunset, it acts quickly.  Salon agent Dao

Phuong, my assignment didn’t include you, but well you’ll just be the bonus. Let’s get you and I

undressed,’ she hissed.

Dao was elegant and graceful as she worked, her soft body a treat as she worked about to place

herself, her hugs and soft kisses a deadly bonus.

‘There, I haven’t used this one in a long time, it's called The Massaging Centipede, sensuous

and slow you die from too much of my body. I will get a little tighter but then it stops and my

massage takes over, a slow relaxing rub you can feel everywhere, unfortunately it relaxes you

totally and permanently.  My lipstick is exhausted so we can kiss until you recover, I prefer my

victims have a chance. Oh yes, you can escape, but it's extremely unlikely.  The only one who

did was a wandering monk in southern China, he was caught by a female monk in a poisonous

eel knot, her lotion slowly relaxing him over hours as the two struggled until he relaxed fully and

she took control.  He managed to escape or was allowed to escape after 5 hours, but the damage

was done, he died several days later.’

Dao was correct, he could feel her everywhere as she worked, her lips delivering tantalizing

kisses as her body rubbed and swayed until she finished him hours later, a final kiss to the cheek

before she relaxed her deadly form and slipped free.

Twisted Triangle

She had been caught at her own game as she snapped her caught form.  Yosida Kamara, her

target, had caught her during foreplay in a Clutching Crab, but he had other plans for her.  ‘The

tables have turned Miss Bao.  I am a well trained executive, a match for any female, even a

SALON agent such as yourself, I just needed the opportunity to demonstrate.’  Tran Bao wiggled

helplessly, his Japanese Clutching Crab was perfectly applied to her nude form. A sliding door, a

woman bowed and entered and came over to them, kneeling again.

‘It was as you predicted Yoko,’ he said and she bowed in gratitude.

‘Shall I finish her for you Kamara-san while you watch, Sensu Fan is slow and visual,’ she offered

smiling at Bao.

‘Generous but I want to finish Miss Tran personally,’ he said.  Hai,’ she answered then spoke to

Bao. ‘Would have been better for me to finish you Bao-san.  Kamara-san’s death will be merciless.

Japanese Anal Scorpion.  Kill slow my love, I wish to hear her beg for death.’  Yoko kissed him

on the lips then slid down and took him in bringing him to granite hardness .  ‘You see Miss Tran

your death requires a helping hand, so to speak. With Kamara-san hardened, the weapon is

ready, now for the second step.  I will place myself around Kamara-san and slowly turn and move

him and you into the Japanese Anal Scorpion where I will guide him about you and his stem into

you, then I will leave you to die in the trap.  Yoko slipped off her robe revealing a very wonderful

slim form.  She intricately entwined herself into her boss, her hands caressing his staff to keep

him hard.  Yoko kissed him as she adjusted then moved taking the over two with her.  Yoko’s

arch fitted into place atop Boa’s arch preventing her leg from moving.  Yoko moved again and

pulled them closer together, Bao being placed inside him and he being guided into place around

her by Yoko.  A series of arches and rolls followed further confining Bao.  Yoko slowly undulated

her form moving them, her hands on his stem, hard and ready pierced Bao as she gasped, Yoko

removed her hands and rocked a few more times.

‘There Miss Tran, you are impaled, just enough to hold you,’ she said, slipping herself free and

coming to Bao’s face.  ‘You have only hope Miss Tran, not to move, if you do you will draw

yourself in, your movement causes the Anal Scorpion to sting and embed deeper into you

making the next sting even more painful, too many stings will kill you and Kamara-san is a most

venomous Scorpion, so do not move.’

Yoko kissed Kamara goodbye and left leaving Bao to her fate.  The SALON agent appeared

helpless. The Anal Scorpion had her enrtangled in his lithe form as she remained still, is cock

just embedded enough not to be able to pull out of. It was a delicate and intricate trap, typical of

Japanese agents, be they male or female.  Bao moved a touch and he stung, she gasped and

he pulled in a little.  She gave him that but nothing more for several hours. 

Yoko reappeared, bowed and kissed Kamara-san and looked.  She is well disciplined but youare a well trained Japanese man, she has moved and she will again, her fate is sealed just asthat Korean woman's was.

Yoko came in front of Bao.  ‘My compliments on your resistance.  Kamara-san is most lethal, but

you are unable to resist forever, you’ve moved once, it will happen again and then again, each

time quicker than the last,’ she said, then silently left again.  

The SALON agent maintained her stillness, but she was tiring, the knot was designed to be hard

to remain motionless in, the victim, no matter how strong, eventually succumbed to a painful

death. These thoughts played on her mind as she felt a second sting, more painful than the first.

Kamara-san was half embedded in her, his pulsing tail looking to strike again as she tried to

resist him mentally while her body wanted to push and surround him, feeling the siren throbbing

of his manhood inside her. She tried arching up on her toes to pull away, but could not and when

she lowered herself he stung her!  Bao’s body convulsed from the sting driving her in more.  It

was a series of near endless stings from his cock from then on, her body quivering causing

another sting as she cascaded into painful delirium.  Bao refused to scream or beg for the end

instead she concentrated on her motion until she had the counterwave to his thrusts, her small

ass snapping sharply against his wand until they were both still. 

 ‘A centipede only bites when the prey is too close to miss and you’ve been bitten twice.  The

second time was insurance.  You’ve done enough to ensure I can’t kill you, this time,’ she said,

giving him a small nip on his lips before making her escape.  

‘I wonder how Yoko will react to finding you’ve failed.’

Red Alert

‘You’re much too impatient, these SALON agents are excellent, it takes time to break them. 

Miss Yang isn’t going anywhere as you can see, my ladies have her quiet securely.  She’s

trapped in a Thai Sundial, her body will slowly be twisted until she talks.  Oh it could be several

hours before she begins to feel uncomfortable, it depends on her motion discipline, stay still and

prolong the ordeal move and pain fills 

you until you talk.  Oh, and just to be sure you talk my ladies sunscreen contains a very wonderful

truth drug.  Enjoy my dear.’

Mai Yang was entangled by two mature women, each posed to constrict and turn her, their

bodies sensing her as they held her at key points.

The woman led the man inside as Mai was adjusted by the women.

She emerged from the house to find Mai Yang gone and her ladies dead, a red bikini next to them.

‘Poisonous bikini.’
