Rick looked the man over who got off the little motorcycle. As Rick approached Micky he stifled a little laugh. "So, you're Nick?" "I take it you're Rick. We don't have much time. Dylan is back at my place. He got shot but will be fine. What do we have inside?" Looking at the house Rick replied, "Nothing, just the guy up on the second floor. Everyone else has been neutralized. I have two of my men at the front door and two out by the dock. You ready?" Micky nodded at Rick, and together they walked to the front door and up the stairs to Jack's office. Outside the door, Rick and Micky positioned themselves on either side, and then Rick reached across and knocked. From inside Jack half yelled, "Yes, who is it?" There was fear and uncertainty in his voice. Rick replied, "He's here! He's back and coming up to see you!" Jack excitedly said, "Great news!" Through the door they could hear him half running to the door. Micky positioned himself directly in front of the door and when Jack opened it, the look on his face was too good to have been missed. In one swift move, Micky stepped forward and hit Jack squarely in the face with his fist. Jack dropped backwards, out cold. Micky stood over him, took a zip-tie out of his pocket and quickly restrained Jack's hands behind his back. Micky stood, looked at Rick and said, "Help me get him to the boat. Have you and your men been taken care of?" While helping to lift Jack, Rick replied, "No sir, not yet. I'm not worried about that; Dylan has never let us down." Micky didn't say anything; they each hooked Jack under an arm and dragged him to the boat. Micky entered the main berth and saw all the satchels neatly piled in the center. He looked out to Rick and said, "I'll hand these out to you; pile them against the stern." The two men worked quickly and emptied the berth. The money-filled satchels were lined up on the rear of the deck. Micky walked up to Rick, shook his hand and said, "We need to move fifteen of these off the deck. Dylan says he trusts you completely. You should take them back to ranch and safeguard them for him." The fifteen satchels were quickly moved off the boat. Micky took the helm, powered up the boat, texted the GPS coordinates to Brianna, and cast off. As he pulled away from the dock, Brianna's confirmation text came through. Micky piloted the darkened boat out to open water, set the course and the autopilot. He checked on Jack who was locked in the rear berth. Jack was conscious and struggling to free his hands from the zip-tie when Micky entered the berth. At first Jack looked at him in abject terror and then recovered enough to say, "Nick! You're OK, I was trying to get some help to you; but, as usual, you've come through like a champ! My God! You're the best! C'mon, untie me and we can get everything straightened out." After a slight pause, he continued in more of a conspiratorial tone, "You and me, Nick. We can run it all. We can be partners. No one would ever challenge us. What do you say Nick?" Micky didn't respond, he checked the zip-tie on Jack's wrists Micky returned to the helm and in forty-five minutes they arrived at the coordinates. The location was special because it was just outside U.S. territorial waters and directly over a chasm that split the continental shelf. Any vessel sunk in this area would never be found. As Micky circled the boat around the coordinates he started to feel as though he might get sea sick; something that had never happened to him before. His head spun and he felt both vertigo and nausea. He shook off the sensations and deeply inhaled fresh sea air. After ten minutes, Micky spotted a small search light in the distance. He reduced the engines to idle and sounded one blast on the ship's horn. The light quickly found him and soon Brianna was pulling his boat up along the aft starboard side of Jack's boat. Micky caught the lines she threw to him and tied her off to the larger boat. "Michael! How are you feeling? How are you doing?" "I'm a bit shaky but I think I'll make it. We have to work quickly! I have satchels full of cash on deck. I'll drop them down to you and you get them into the cabin." "Please, be careful!" Brianna opened the cabin hatch and came back to the side of the boat just as Micky dropped four satchels down to her. The process continued for several minutes until all of the satchels were transferred. Brianna climbed up to the flying bridge to get a better look on the larger boat's deck just as Micky dragged Jack, with his hands still secured behind his back, onto the deck. Micky pulled a small automatic from the back of his belt as he pushed Jack to his knees. Brianna yelled, "Michael! You sure about this?!" Micky was unsteady on his feet and was starting to sway slightly. He found it difficult to focus on Brianna. He answered her, "Yes, he has to pay. One bullet then back into the cabin. I open the seacocks and ... and ... he's gone for...." Micky swayed one more time and fell flat on his back. Jack realized something had happened by the look on Brianna's face. He turned quickly to see Micky on the deck; he looked back and saw Brianna leap from the flying bridge onto the deck in front of him. Jack attempted to cover the gun with his body but missed. As he tried to scramble to his feet, he experienced a flash of light and extreme pain as Brianna's foot contacted his head. With a steeliness rarely exhibited by anyone, Brianna circled Jack and delivered one more kick, this time to his midsection. Jack doubled over and fell sideways in a fetal position. Brianna hooked her arms under Micky's and dragged him to the starboard gunwale. She hefted Micky up and over the gunwale and slowly lowered him to the smaller boat's deck. She turned, walked over to the gun that Micky dropped, picked it up and approached Jack. She grabbed him by the collar, lifted him to his knees and placed the barrel against the back of his head. Micky heard the gunshot but had no idea what it was or where he was. His eyes were open and he could sense movement; but, he had no ability to process his experiences. Brianna dragged Jack's lifeless body into the cabin and then into the rear berth. Up at the helm she found the seacocks and opened them to full. Quickly she moved back to the starboard aft and deftly dropped to Micky's boat. She released the lines and carefully piloted the boat away from the larger vessel. Once at a safe distance, Brianna moved Micky into the cabin and made him as comfortable as possible. He was still breathing but that was the only sign of life he exhibited. Brianna went out to the deck and in the early light of dawn watched as Jack's yacht sank into the ocean, carrying him to his watery grave. Brianna opened the boat full-throttle and headed back to shore. She didn't need any navigational assistance for this course, her seamanship shined as she made the fastest and smoothest course possible. Back at the dock she was met by Thomas. Together they carried Micky, who was starting to hyperventilate and spasm, into the house. As they entered his bedroom, Thomas said, "Quickly! Get him in a cold shower! We need to slow his metabolism." Brianna held Micky up as much as she could as Thomas turned the shower on full force. She stood in the shower, holding Micky until she was at the limits of her strength. Then the cold water worked its magic. Micky's breathing slowed, his body began to relax, and his heart rate calmed. Thomas had left them to call for the doctor and upon his return to the bathroom Brianna said, "Thomas, he's better, he's calmed." "Thank God! Get those clothes of him and let's get him to bed! He needs to warm up now." Brianna stripped Micky naked and then with Thomas' help, carried Micky to his bed. Thomas was shocked when Brianna stripped off all her clothes and climbed into bed with Micky and pressed her body against his. Thomas covered them with every available blanket and then went out front to look out for the doctor. Unbeknownst to Brianna or Micky, the doctor was a certain addiction specialist named Byunsik Si, from the Gongju Clinic in Korea. Myra's plan stipulated that once Micky's role was finished, he would be taken by Doctor Si to the clinic and cleaned of his alcohol and pill addiction. Brianna's efforts to warm Micky were starting to work. The two of them started to generate some body heat, and slowly Micky began to stir. At first Brianna thought she heard him whisper her name. She lifted up, looked at him and said, "I'm here Michael. I love you so much, I'm here for you." Then more clearly, Micky whispered, "Anna ... Anna ... hold me. Hold me Princess." Brianna's heart started to break. He wasn't calling for her. He was calling for someone else. Micky whispered as she began to roll slightly, "Anna Maria ... God ... Anna ... hold me." Brianna fought back her tears and emotions; she wrapped herself tighter around Micky and held on with all the strength she had. Micky calmed while in her grasp. Quietly, Brianna started to cry. Brianna heard the doctor arrive and waited for Thomas to enter the room. She had reached a decision and held onto to Micky even tighter. Thomas entered the room and said, "Brianna, the doctor is here." Thomas reached in the closet and grabbed a robe for Brianna. "Micky needs to go. Myra's instructions are that you should go with him. You'll be safe with the doctor and Micky needs you." Brianna, naked as the day she was born, rolled out of the bed and donned the robe Thomas handed her. She looked down, then up at Thomas and said, "No, I'll stay here. He needs to get his treatment ... and ... he doesn't need me." Brianna started to choke up as tears rolled down her cheeks and sobbed, "Take him and cure him! I'll wait for Myra." Brianna left the room and headed to her own room. Waiting outside the door was Mrs. D. The two women hugged and went into Brianna's room together. Through her tears, Brianna heard Micky being taken away. - Seattle Half way up the stairs, Ja'quoia let go of Chuck and looked back down at Sarah. Ja'quoia waved for Sarah to come join her. Sarah smiled brightly and quickly came up the stairs, her ankle "injury" miraculously cured. Sarah reached Ja'quoia and hugged her best friend in the world. She turned her mouth to Ja'quoia's ear and said, "You go and have a great time. Then we'll both have a go at him, OK?" Ja'quoia hugged Sarah tighter and said, "I can't believe this is finally going to happen! I want you with me. I know he said it's all for me; but, if that's true, then what I want is more important, and I want you with us!" "No, this is special between the two of you. You know I'm with you. I'll be along, you'll be perfect. Don't worry one bit! The two of you are perfect ... now get going!" Ja'quoia pulled back, smiled at Sarah and gave her a loving kiss. She then headed up the stairs, by herself, to experience what she had only fantasized about. Chuck was waiting for her at the top of the stairs. Ja'quoia smiled as he took her into his arms and passionately kissed her. The kiss did its magic. Ja'quoia's body started to react to his lips, tongue and caressing hands. Her breathing became shorter and slight, sweet sounds came involuntarily from her throat. Her right leg moved around his left leg and slowly she began to ride her crotch along his thigh. Chuck released her from his grasp, opened the bedroom door and backed into the room while still kissing the exotic, fifteen year-old beauty. Once in the room, Ja'quoia used her left foot to shut the door while she pushed forward into Chuck, moving him backwards to the edge of the bed. There he turned her to the left and together they fell on the bed, still engaged in a full-mouthed kiss. Ja'quoia rolled on top of Chuck without breaking their kiss. Chuck's hands roamed freely from her scapula down to her toned ass. Ja'quoia shifted slightly as Chuck slid his hand up and under her dress, allowing him free access between her legs. Chuck didn't hesitate and soon had the young girl dry humping his hand as his index finger moved along her slit and clit and his thumb caressed her asshole. With a sudden jolt, Ja'quoia broke their kiss. She arched up and away from Chuck as an orgasmic shock ran from her clit, up around her ass and up her spine. She was overcome with emotion as she looked down at Chuck. She fell down upon him, seeking his lips with hers, purring with excitement as she closed her legs, moving his hand away. She broke the kiss again, rose slightly and started to luridly slide down his body, keeping her eyes locked on his. As her feet touched the floor, she placed her hands on his forearms and moved them down until they were holding hands. As Ja'quoia rose to her feet she stepped back, bringing Chuck to a sitting position and then guided him to stand in front of her. Ja'quoia was nearly as tall as Chuck and was easily able to maintain eye contact as she moved her hands up to his shoulders. Her breathing was still heavy and she bore the look of a feline in heat. She ran her hands down Chuck's torso, slowing to caress his chest and then on to the bottom of his shirt. She lifted the shirt, and in a flash, it was lying on the floor. Her hands were joined by her mouth as she explored his upper body. Chuck simply held her by her shoulders and let her have her way with him. One thing he knew for sure though; if he didn't get his pants off soon his dick would break. Ja'quoia's hands rested on his hips as she said, almost girlishly, "This is my first time. The first time for all of this; I've never had a man naked before. I want to savor every moment, I want to touch and explore every inch of your body." Before Chuck could answer, Ja'quoia slid down his body and knelt in front of him. She removed his socks and shoes; she unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants down along with his boxers. In what seemed like a second, Chuck found himself bare-ass naked with a raging hard on; undressed by a fifteen year-old vixen. Ja'quoia couldn't take her eyes off the magnificent cock that bobbed at attention directly in front of her. She ran her hands up and down Chuck's legs, kneading his ass with every upward move. She slid her fingers between his cheeks and found his asshole with her right index finger. She smiled up at him as she applied a little pressure and then pulled her finger away. Ja'quoia had seen and sucked the first cock of her life just a few hours earlier and she found it to be one of the most enjoyable things she had ever done. There was just something about the experience she found exciting. The feel of the head, so soft, so pliable, so kissable! Then the ridge; it was so exciting, creating the transition to the hard, hot, bumpy shaft. The shaft itself fit her hands perfectly, the way the skin moved over the hard interior was something she had never felt before. Having the entire package in her mouth gave her a feeling of control and power she had never experienced before. The act itself made her feel full and complete. The taste of the precum had excited her, indicating that she had done her work properly! Ja'quoia really wanted to have Chuck cum in her mouth or on her face, or both! As Ja'quoia gazed at the object of her new found obsession in front of her, she knew that it was meant to be somewhere other than her mouth on this night; and, that kind of scared her. She lunged at Chuck's dick and took him in with one long suck. After a few hearty bobs and some extra licks and kisses for the head, she released his dick and stood up in front of her man. Chuck wasted no time; he reached for the top button on her dress and consecutively unbuttoned each one until he got to her waist. Chuck tried like hell to keep his eyes locked on hers, but the body that was starting to emerge from the opening of the dress was just too attractive. He reached his hands up inside the shoulders of the dress, pulled it apart and let it fall to the floor. He gazed at, for all intents and purposes, a flawless female form! She had firm, proud, B/C-sized tits with slightly puffy areola, her skin was a natural tan and her nipples were a chocolaty brown. She was curvy in all the right places with a flat stomach to match her fit, strong, healthy body. He slowly dropped to a knee as his hands rested on her hips. He examined the panty-clad pussy in front of him. Somehow, one side of the gusset had worked its way inside her labial cleft. Ja'quoia's excitement had created a prominent wet spot on the panties. Chuck placed his index finger under the hem and carefully pulled the gusset back into place. He peeled the panties down, exposing her virgin womanhood. Chuck sighed, "Oh my lord ... beautiful, just beautiful." And her pussy was beautiful! She and Sarah had spent an entire evening trimming and styling her pussy for just this moment. Of course, the task didn't take all evening; Sarah got sidetracked more than a couple of times as she prepared Ja'quoia's privates for their unveiling. Her hair was neatly trimmed and styled to flow in and downward, as if providing direction to her hooded clit. There wasn't a pimple, razor burn, or follicle bump to be seen. Her skin was baby-soft smooth and flawless in appearance. Chuck slipped his left arm through her legs, hooked behind her right leg, and lifted her thigh up to rest on his shoulder. He dipped his head slightly and brought his mouth up to her crotch. The lifting of her leg caused her thick labia to spread open, revealing the treasure awaiting his tongue. Chuck did not hesitate. He drove his face into the hot, ready pussy hovering above him. His mouth covered her pussy as his tongue moved through her folds and into her waiting tunnel of love. Chuck lifted his face as his tongue slid up her slit to the erotic nubbin hidden at the top of her crack. There he paused. The tip of his tongue slid across and then circled her clit, making occasional lateral slashes from side to side. Ja'quoia was riding Chuck's face. Both of her hands were braced down on top his head. Her right leg rode on his shoulder and her left leg provided balance as her hips rolled her pussy into and across his mouth. Chuck could hear the girl as she responded to, and directed his manipulations. When Ja'quoia jerked through mini orgasms, her short clear exclamations were released as exhales. While she was working herself to the jerks, she rode his face emitting low sensual growls. When Chuck glanced up, he could see her head erect, eyes closed shut, and her body in an exquisite arch as she jerked through her climaxes. When she was in the buildup, she grasped his hair, tucked her chin and seemingly glared down at him. Her nipples were fully erect, and her tits appeared larger than what he saw previously. Her body, purely athletic; was rippling with muscles as she rode his face and was driven into the throes of erotic delight. Chuck slid his face up and out from under Ja'quoia. She was thrown off balance for a second and was unsure as to what was happening. Chuck latched onto her left arm, lifted some more and turned, to lay her on the bed. Chuck moved onto the bed between her legs and lifted/pushed her further up until her head was on the pillows. Ja'quoia fought off a wave of fear as the excitement about what was about to happen coursed through her. Chuck looked at her with a questioning look and she felt herself smile and nod her head. Chuck leaned in and kissed her. Ja'quoia returned the kiss and quickly took it to a deeply passionate level. She could taste herself in Chuck's mouth and found that it only made her more excited. She rolled her hips in search of his dick. Chuck felt her not only responding, but also taking some initiative, as she writhed under him in search of his dick. Chuck moved his hips so that his dick was positioned between her legs, pressing down and flat against her. With a slow rise, the head of his dick came into contact with the moist, hot, silky folds of her pussy. Ja'quoia felt the head of his dick press into her pussy. Chuck's positioning wasn't correct just yet; but, with just the slightest of moves, Ja'quoia had his bulbous head pressing against the entrance to her sheath. Chuck looked into Ja'quoia's eyes and with a practiced push sent the head of his dick between the lips and into the entrance of her pussy. As he expected, Ja'quoia was tight and his intrusion would have been much more difficult if not for her heightened state of arousal. With another push, he felt his dick begin to enter the young girl's pussy. For Ja'quoia, the experience was bringing her to verge of a sensory overload. She could feel every inch of her body and now she could feel Chuck inside her. This was not some inanimate dildo; this was a real man fucking her with his real dick! The feel of him on top of her, the pressing of his hips as she cradled him between her thighs, the sight of him lovingly looking at her and foremost, the sensations elicited from her pussy as his dick slid deeper into her was bringing her to edge. Chuck was amazed at what he felt and observed! Ja'quoia was cumming as hard and strong as any girl he had ever seen; and he hadn't even gotten himself completely into her. Before he could react, she wrapped her legs around him and drove her pussy upwards, taking him completely inside her. She clung to him for a moment as she cried out in orgasmic bliss. Chuck felt her pussy undulating on his dick and then, as the tremor passed from her pussy through her body, she relaxed slightly. Chuck quickly reversed and pulled his dick out until only the head was still inside her and quickly thrust himself fully into her. He tried like hell to keep his cool and not fall into a fucking frenzy. Rather, he gave her pussy what it needed at that moment; a good solid fucking! Ja'quoia had actually blacked out for a moment when she came on Chuck's dick. Her recovery was quickened by what Chuck was doing to her. It was absolutely perfect! She couldn't believe how full she felt! He was fucking her with quick but deliberate strokes. Each thrust was slightly different than the one before and she could feel every variation. She started to sense his dick in her mind's eye. She could feel ... see ... his dick driving into her and filling her up! This was a whole new experience! The two were now fully in synch with one another. He was on his knees, pushing upward into her as her legs were locked around his lower back keeping him in place. They were in full upper body contact and locked in a prolonged messy kiss as Ja'quoia felt the summit of sensation come nearer. "More! Faster! Harder! Fuck me!" She demanded. Chuck's reply was physical obedience. Ja'quoia broke their kiss and Chuck buried his head into the left side of her neck as he got lost in the fucking. Ja'quoia's head was moving side-to-side when she noticed the bedroom door had opened and Sarah was looking in. Sarah was dressed in a simple nightshirt and had her hair up high in a ponytail. Their eyes locked and Ja'quoia reached her hand out to Sarah. Sarah was awe-struck at the scene in front of her. She knew she enjoyed fucking and knew her Uncle Chuck enjoyed fucking her; but, this was something completely different. She moved to Ja'quoia and took her hand. Ja'quoia had her lie down next to her and the two girls kissed. Sarah almost came from the intensity of Ja'quoia's kiss. It was if she could feel what Ja'quoia was feeling. Sarah placed an arm across her Uncle's back and watched as he raised his head and looked at her. He was a man possessed! He actually fucked Ja'quoia harder while keeping his eyes fixed on his beautiful niece. In perfect harmony, without any cue, Ja'quoia and Chuck looked back at each as their sexual experience began to spike. Chuck blew his load first. It was almost painful it felt so good. Through each pulse of his lower body, the sensual waves didn't abate. Even when he had spent his load, the waves of pleasure were just as intense. Ja'quoia had an orgasm like she had never experienced before. She "saw" Chuck cumming inside her while at the same time she watching the ecstasy wash over his face. It felt as if her insides bottomed out. There was a movement of sensation downward to her pussy; and then, as if critical mass had been attained, an explosion of ecstasy raced through her body. She clung to him with all her limbs, and one cavity. She felt her pussy milking the cum from his dick which brought about another surge of joy. Sarah had never seen anything like it and never had been so turned on by something before. She clung to Ja'quoia's hand and kept her arm on Chuck's back as the two lovers slowly descended from their sensual heights. Chuck slowly rolled to Ja'quoia's side; his gooey, thick dick flopping out of Ja'quoia's spent pussy. Without thought or hesitation, Sarah, with cat-like movements, made her way down the bed and quickly sucked her uncle's dick into her mouth. She loved the taste of his cum, she also loved the taste of Ja'quoia's pussy; and here, both were readily available. Chuck watched as his niece avidly sucked the love juices from his spent dick, eagerly cleaning him as if she was a mother cat. Ja'quoia realized where Sarah was and lifted her head just as Sarah started to gaze at Ja'quoia's pussy. Sarah saw a large white gob of her uncle's cum start to ooze out of her best friend's pussy. Sarah quickly went down on Ja'quoia and sucked her pussy, collecting up as much of her uncle's cream pie as possible. Ja'quoia began to react to Sarah's sucking and wanted her to stop. She was only able to say, "Sarah ..." and pull away a bit. Sarah misinterpreted Ja'quoia's actions and quickly moved up her friend's body until she hovered right above Ja'quoia's face. With her right hand, she opened Ja'quoia's mouth and slowly let a long string of cum flow into Ja'quoia's mouth. For a moment Ja'quoia was shocked; but, that passed quickly as she felt the warm salty fluid enter her mouth. She lifted a hand, hooked Sarah's neck and pulled her down for a sloppy kiss. The two girls passionately kissed and slurped up all of the love juice available. Eventually they began to laugh. Sarah was so happy for Ja'quoia and Ja'quoia, basking in post orgasmic bliss, was happy to be with her best friend in the whole world at that moment. Meanwhile, Chuck was stroking his dick back to a full erection as he watched the two girls frolic on the bed. Ja'quoia glanced at Chuck and noticed his "condition," She looked at Sarah and said, "I don't think were done just yet." - California As the men were staged for the advance, Myra's phone buzzed. She glanced at the ID, it was the call she was waiting for. She answered the phone; on the other end was Stan Guzman. Stan was the one man in the world that could successfully come to Aiden's defense. He was an ex-SEAL and led an elite team, which was unmatched in the world. He had been allied with Aiden for years and was the last piece of the puzzle Myra needed in place. "Stan, thank you for returning my call." "Always a pleasure Myra; just to let you know, I also received a call from the boss, but I'm returning yours first." "I appreciate that Stan, I really do. Let me get to the point ..." Stan cut her off, "Myra, I'm not going to interfere; whoever wins this, wins this. I'm alright with the both of you. As a matter of fact, I've been waiting over a year for this to happen. Understand, if you fail, I'll likely be the one hunting you ... if you survive today." "Stan, I understand completely. We'll either be working together ... or I'll be dead." There was a prolonged silence on the phone and both knew there was nothing left to say. Myra heard the line go dead and broke her end of the connection. She looked at Col. Park and said, "Let's get this over with." As the car turned off the road, the two guards at the gate stepped forward. Simultaneously a cloud of red mist appeared by each of their foreheads. Silently, the guards fell to the ground. Myra activated a code on her phone and the gates swung open. While the car traveled the drive to the house, other guards on patrol met the same fate. The clinic had already been secured and the bodies of the nurses, clinicians, and doctors were being prepped for disposal in the clinic incinerator. A small number of young girls, some visibly pregnant, were being escorted into a waiting room for the vans that would transport them to the airstrip. As the car approached the house, four more guards, the last ring of protection outside, were dropped were they stood. At this time, five large windowless vans also entered the grounds. Three headed towards the clinic, two lagged back, waiting to head to the main house. Although no alarms had been sounded, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary, Aiden suddenly became alert to impending danger. In his study, he tried to contact his security detail but there was no response. He went to the hallway and called for his two inside security men. There was no answer. As he walked to the front room, he noticed a very fine spatter of red along one wall. He didn't falter in the face of danger. He walked into the large foyer area and looked out the window just as Myra and Col. Park arrived. Upstairs, Tatyana was also looking out her window. Tatyana, dressed in black casual slacks, and a white blouse; rear holstered her Glock 26 while heading out the door to go downstairs. She stopped at the top of the stairs when she caught a glimpse of an armed man ducking out of sight at the end of the hallway. She waited for the inevitable, but nothing happened. Tatyana could see her "brother" standing in the foyer. He glanced up at her and waved a calming gesture at her as he turned and headed back to his study. Tatyana waited and watched the front doors open as the woman she had seen previously entered the house by herself. Myra had never had to open the front doors at Aiden's estate by herself before. She entered the foyer and found the house in a deathly silence. She stepped to the center of the foyer and noticed a girl that she had never seen before near the top of the stairs. Instantly Myra knew who the girl was. Their eyes locked, Myra broke first, her eyes betrayed her love and longing. The girl reacted. For a moment Myra was sure the girl knew. The girl stepped back towards the hall and disappeared from sight. Tatyana couldn't believe what she felt! Her insides were turned upside down and she felt herself start to cry. An emotional wave, like she had never felt before, rolled through her body and burst into her forehead. She made it to the door of her room, pushed through and stumbled to her bed as she started to hyperventilate. Her mind could not understand nor accept what she felt! It took her a few minutes to regain physical control. She stood, straightened herself out at the mirror and then carefully made her way downstairs. Myra opened the doors to Aiden's study and walked in. She was armed only with a knife holstered to her thigh. Aiden was in his chair, watching her intently as she headed to the chair across from him. Aiden gestured to the chair and said, "Myra, join me. I have a feeling we have some business to settle?" Myra paused at the chair, sat and carefully replied, "Aiden ... our business is settled ... it only needs to be finalized." "Settled? I have no idea what arrangements have been made. Am I to die today? Are we to be full partners? Or do I sever my relationship with you ... in the most efficient of means?" Myra eyed Aiden, hesitated, and said, "Aiden ... all of your associates are dead. You are the only one of the old guard left. Today you stand alone. There is no one to help you. Today the future is written. Either I will lead the new consortium, or you will go to war against it and eventually lose." "Myra, you will of course be the first casualty in the war. Are you ready for that? Or do you wish to join with me and lead this new group? I know that many of my old partners have been eliminated; but there will be enough left to make my proposal to you attractive." Leaning forward, understanding that the old man in front of her did not fully grasp the extent of her actions, she replied, "Aiden, they are all gone, every last one of them. My partners are right now running things. You stand alone! Your only options are to decide how this all ends." Aiden saw Tatyana come through the door and silently approach Myra from behind. Tatyana removed the holstered gun and held it in her right hand as she stopped behind Myra. Aiden, never once taking his eyes from Myra said, "I'm never truly alone ... ever. You of all people should know that." Lifting his hand and glancing at Tatyana, he continued, "Allow me to introduce my little sister to you." Tatyana stepped next to Myra, keeping her right hand behind the chair, and looked down at the woman. Myra turned slightly towards her and looked up into her daughter's eyes for the time in eighteen years. Aiden saw that Myra knew. Aiden relished that Myra would know who killed her. Aiden saw no need to wait. "Tatyana, this woman is here to kill me. She needs to be stopped." Tatyana never took her eyes from Myra's eyes as she stepped back slightly and raised the gun. Aiden never saw Tatyana shift her weight. In a split second, she turned and leveled the gun at Aiden, firing instantly. A small red hole appeared on his forehead just as a look of astonishment crossed his face. Myra felt the gunshot and, for a second wasn't sure if she was alive or not. She regained her senses and turned in time to see Aiden slump down in his char, his eyes wide open and face streaked with a red rivulet of blood. EPILOGUE - Aiden Aiden's body was cremated at the clinic he built. His ashes were scattered in the jet stream high over the Pacific. There is no trace that Aiden ever existed except for the consequences of his evil deeds. The estate and clinic were sold to Dr. Si, who opened an American branch of his Gongju Clinic. Aiden's girls, except for one, were transported to Taiwan for rehabilitation and deprogramming. The deprogramming stripped them of their previous identities and required new pasts be taught to them. Simple, but effective plastic surgery was used to alter their appearances as well. The girls were eventually reintroduced into different cultures and societies with completely new identities. All records of their past lives were erased from the world's database. Two baby girls were born and adopted out to Australian military personnel. The one girl who did not go to Taiwan was Rachel. Something about her had captivated Myra. Myra had her transported to Geneva where she adopted the little girl. Rachel joined Myra, Brianna, and Tatyana in building their new lives as a family. - Ja'quoia and Sarah The girls spent the next year enjoying the carnal company of Sarah's Uncle Chuck, as well as each other. In her senior year Sarah introduced her uncle to her new Art teacher; they very quickly fell in love and were married that June. Uncle Chuck lived up to his marriage vows and remained faithful to his beautiful bride. Being a year older, Sarah got to college first; but Ja'quoia soon followed as an Accelerated Studies student. They shared an apartment and lived the college life to the fullest. They both met and fell in love with open-minded young men who were more than willing to join them in an alternative, free lifestyle. They live in the same neighborhood, and worked similar jobs before forming a successful, exclusive, real estate company. Their children go to school together and they all vacation together once a year. Each year, Ja'quoia and Sarah treat themselves to a spa getaway where they meet up with Brianna for a week of fun. - Myra Myra brought the international sex trade into order. No longer were girls abducted and sold into sex slavery in a corporate fashion. Myra expanded the girls' schools and fed the market with smart, empowered girls who chose their own future. The school model saved hundreds of thousands of throwaway lives with a small percentage selecting a life in the sex industry. Nothing is perfect and there still remained abhorrent and inhuman practices, but the excesses of the "Time of Aiden" never resurfaced. Myra groomed Tatyana to take over the business and after five years was able to finally enjoy life as she dreamed it should be. She contacted the French businessman she had met many years earlier and they became traveling companions enjoying journeys of multifaceted mutual satisfaction. - Brianna Brianna lived for a couple years in pain recovering from Micky. She completed her high school studies and then went on to college in Paris. By the age of twenty-one, she had completed two degree programs; one at the HEC Paris and the other at la Sorbonne in Paris. At the end of her senior year in high school, she met Andre, the younger brother of Myra's bodyguard, François. She thought Andre was beautiful. He was fun, smart, and only a couple of years older than she was. He was a student of world languages and loved extreme sports. Andre was enchanted by Brianna and fell in love with her at first sight. Their courtship is, and will always be, never ending. As it is with everyone, she would never forget her one great first love. - Micky Six months in rehab in Korea succeeded in breaking Micky's drug addiction. His dependency on alcohol was eliminated and he was allowed to have an occasional drink. The doctors could "cure" his physical addictions but were incapable of eliminating his psychological addictions. He learned how to control his thoughts and desires but he couldn't get rid of them. Little girls were still on his mind, but he no longer felt the same drive to take and possess the beauty of youth. The doctors had explained that he would have relapses, he would still have nightmares; but, if he focused and sought fulfillment, he could lead a normal life. One afternoon, Micky was enjoying a cup of tea, on the clinic's veranda when he was joined by Thomas Donohue. Thomas approached Micky, reached his hand out and said, "Greetings Micky! I hope I'm not intruding." Micky stood, took Thomas' hand and shook it with affection. He looked Thomas in the eye and replied, "It is so good to see you. You're my first visitor. Please, have a seat! Would you like something to drink?" As he sat Thomas said, "No Micky, I'm fine. I don't have long and we have items of import to discuss!" Thomas looked at Micky and said, "You look great! Before we begin, is there anything you want to ask me?" Micky looked down for a moment, his head bursting with questions about Brianna, but he couldn't bring himself to ask. He simply looked up at Thomas and said, "How is my family, do you know?" "They're fine Micky. We contacted your brother and everyone has accepted the story that you're in alcohol rehab. No shame there. They're keeping it a family secret. Anything else?" Micky knew Thomas was fishing but only shook his head. Thomas continued, "Let's get down to business. I have two propositions for you, you can chose one, or come up with one of your own. Ready?" Micky leaned back in his chair and said, "Shoot." "Option one; you come back to Florida and work with me running the school. You stay in the business with all of the perks of the business. We will get you a residence on the school grounds or find you a suitable place off campus, whatever you like ..." "What happened to my place?" "Dylan has it now. He is in charge of Florida operations. We sold Jack's place. Don't worry; all of your stuff is in storage. So ... anyway ... this option keeps you in the group and doing valuable work." "Option two?" "We gave this a lot of thought. Right now, you have been accepted at the Graduate School at the university in Columbus, Ohio. We have lined up several houses you can purchase or rent. You can start your graduate work in the fall, and be done with all of us forever. Actually, you'll never have to work a day for the rest of your life. Myra took the money recovered from Jack and split it between you, her, and the organization. Whether you stay or not ... you netted five million." Micky didn't speak; he looked Thomas in the eyes. In one of the few instances in his life, Thomas flinched. Thomas cleared his throat and asked, "The girl? Brianna?" Micky nodded. "I'll be brief, when you were closest to death, and she was fighting with all she had to keep you alive ... you called out another's name." "Anna?" "Yes ... it was her decision you know. She let you go ..." Micky started to withdraw within himself; but, before shutting Thomas and the world out entirely, he said, "Option two." Micky closed his eyes and listened as Thomas walked away. After a short while, a smile came to his face as he realized he was going home, going home to Ohio! And maybe, just maybe ... Anna Maria! TETMD - The End
