"Whorehouse on Haunted Hill"

	Bethany Taylor pulled up to the driveway and looked at old 
dilapidated house before her.  The address matched the location given 
to her in her e-mail, but the place looked like it hadn't been used in 
years.  As she watched, a shutter fell of the third story, twisting and 
flipping in the wind before hitting the ground. 

	"Well, it's certainly a remote place to have a rendezvous," 
Bethany muttered.  She stepped out of the car and reconsidered her 
clothing.  The e-mail hadn't specified if she should be dressed for 
stealth, so Bethany threw on what she had available.  Her darker 
clothing had rips and tears from her last mission, so she was wearing a 
pair of khaki slacks and a white blouse.  On the one hand, the white 
blouse did a great job of showcasing her impressive cleavage.  On the 
other hand, it made Bethany almost glow in the dark.

	She read her print out of her e-mail again.  The message was 
simple.  "Go to 2369 Harlot Hill Street.  Seek out Mr. Thompson and 
accept her mission.  Go now."  It was from the deployment address of 
her employers, Diligent enterprises, and was marked urgent.  Bethany 
knew she was expected to act on the mission ASAP, so she locked up her 
hotel room and took the rental car to this odd address.

	Bethany had just completed a mission for her employers and was 
surprised to get another mission so soon.  The blonde wished she knew 
more about what she needed to do, but then, handling surprises was why 
they paid industrial agents like Bethany the big paychecks.  She had no 
idea of what she was going to buy after this mission, but she was sure 
she would think of something.

	The wind picked up as Bethany approached the building, whipping 
her hair around her face.  The moon ducked behind the clouds and 
Bethany was plunged into darkness.  She paused to allow her eyes to 
adjust and that was when she noticed the candle glowing beside the 
door.  

	"Was that candle lit before?" Bethany asked herself.  She 
couldn't be sure.

	She walked up to the door and knocked.  The door creaked open, 
apparently already open.  Bethany shrugged and walked in.  Mr. Thompson 
must be expecting her.

	The inside was far more impressive than the outside led one to 
believe.  The foyer was glowing with candles and was carpeted in lush 
red.  Paintings of nude women covered the walls and a candelabra 
sparkled above her.  From the hallway, laughter from several women 
could be heard as well as a piano playing.

	A sign hung above the doorway and it read "Welcome to Madame 
Flower's Brothel of Excellent repute."

	Bethany looked outside and didn't see any cars.  "This is one 
well hidden whorehouse." she remarked.

	"Over here, Ms. Taylor," she heard from the winding staircase.  
Bethany looked, but she didn't see anybody.  The staircase was pretty 
steep and Bethany assumed that she just didn't see the person in the 
candlelight.  There was something soothing about the staircase, from 
the tastefully nude nymphs adorning the rail to the soft candles that 
illuminated the area.  

	Bethany went up the stairs.

~~~

	Amy Valentine brought her motorcycle to a halt a safe distance 
away from Bethany.  It wasn't easy following someone on a dirt road on 
a motorcycle with your lights turned off, but then, that's why they 
paid industrial spies like Amy the big paychecks.  She didn't know what 
her rival was doing here, but Amy was sure her employers, Paragon 
Industries would pay a lot to find out.  Amy could already picture her 
residing in the Greek beach house she wanted to buy.

	"It certainly pays to tap your enemies' e-mail," Amy said to 
herself.  If she hadn't of spied on Bethany's ColdMail account, Amy 
would have never of known about this secret rendezvous.  The agent just 
hoped that Macrohard never upgraded their security to a high school 
level.

	Amy watched as Bethany walked towards the abandoned building in 
front of them.  It was easy to see Bethany, her white blouse was like a 
torch in the darkness.  She wasn't dressed as sensible as Amy was.  The 
following agent was wearing black cotton from her long shapely legs to 
her delicate neck.  Even her long brown hair was concealed, tucked 
under a black baseball cap.  Amy didn't blend into the darkness, she 
was the darkness.

	She waited thirty seconds after Bethany entered the building 
before moving up there herself.  Amy moved silently and swiftly to the 
porch.  She could barely see the door because the clouds were hiding 
the moon.

	When she entered the building, Amy took out her special night 
vision sunglasses.  The foyer was pitch black before Amy's glasses 
allowed her to make out some details.  A thick layer of dust covered 
everything, but Amy could barely read the sign that hung above the 
doorway leading into a hall.

	"This Hole of Sin is Condemned by the Ladies of Proper Morals."

	"Proper morals?" Amy asked herself.  "Sounds like a fun bunch."

	Her musings were interrupted by a sound from the stairs.  It 
sounded like a taunting laugh.  Amy pulled out her pistol and cursed 
silently.  She must have been discovered!  

	The brunette ascended the stairs cautiously, looking to salvage 
what she could from her blown cover.

~~~

	Bethany reached the top of the stairs and found no one waiting 
for her.  She almost went back down but she heard two women talking in 
a room next to the landing.  The agent figured she could ask for 
directions and find Mr. Thompson quicker.  As she approached the room, 
she realized it was talking she had overheard but moans.  Slightly 
embarrassed, Bethany still looked in.  

	The room was decorated with an underwater motif.  The walls were 
sea green, and the large bad was shaped like a clamshell.  Two women 
were sitting on a bed.  They were wearing old-fashioned gowns, full of 
lace, ruffles and cleavage.  Their skirts were pulled up to reveal 
elegant garter belts, white hose and naked sexes.  A man was kneeling 
in front of them.  He had his hands between both their legs and was 
creating their moans the old fashioned way; he earned them.

	"Excuse me," Bethany said when the women looked up at her.  The 
women smiled.  The man never turned around, as he was too intent on the 
beauty before him. 

	Bethany closed the door and turned around.  None of the doors 
were closed in the hallway.  As Bethany walked past them, she could see 
acts of debauchery out of the corners of her eyes.  Although she saw 
dozens of women and all of them engaged in sex, none of them were nude.  
All of them wore the same exquisite style of gowns; appearing as if 
they were extras from a 'Gone with The Wind' revival.

	"Up here," Bethany heard behind her.  A staircase she hadn't 
noticed before was visible in soft candlelight.  Eager to escape the 
endless moans of the hallway, she climbed the stairs.

~~~
	
	Amy's glasses glowed as they tried to compensate for the complete 
darkness of the second floor.  The carpet was old and crackled under 
her shoes, which made it hard for the agent to sneak quietly.  Several 
doors were fallen in the hallway, adding to the decrepit feel of the 
place.

	She looked in one doorway for Amy, and saw a collapsed clamshell 
bed.  A shelf holding various seashells had fallen over and littered 
the floor with debris.  On a slanting table, Amy saw the moth eaten 
remains of a gown.

	"What a dump," Amy whispered.  

	The careful agent checked each room.  All she found was more 
debris and other signs of disuse.  Amy kept an eye out for Bethany, but 
she found no trace of the blonde.  In fact, the dust on the floor was 
so thick, she was certain that no one had been up here in years.

	She was about to go downstairs when she saw the flicker of 
candlelight coming from a side room.  Amy approached the room 
cautiously and peered in.  Inside was a four poster bed that was still 
intact.  A row of curtains dominated the far wall while a shattered 
dresser had possession of the near wall.  

	Amy stepped into the room.  She could have sworn there was 
candlelight coming from here, but she couldn't find any light now.  She 
checked the room twice to make sure there wasn't a secret passage 
leading out.  It was another futile search in an already frustrating 
mission.

	"Damn it, I wish something would just happen!" Amy cursed.

	That was when the door slammed.

~~~

	Bethany reached the third floor and the sights before her took 
her breath away.  The hallway was lit with lamps but it was also lit 
with the beauty of a score of paintings.  A beautiful painting of a 
woman was hung every few feet and each painting carried a small name 
under it on a brass plate.

	The blonde walked down the hall, marveling at the detail and life 
in each painting.  Each painted woman was vivid and real, and each 
woman bore a knowing smile.  It was a sinful smile as well as holding 
confidence.  Bethany knew these women were most likely prostitutes, but 
they all had a noble air.

	At the end of the hall was one last painting.  It was of a 
beautiful blonde who stood defiantly beside a horse.  Her dress was a 
deep purple but her spilling cleavage was alabaster.  Her smile was 
more of a smirk, daring the viewer to give her a reason to unleash her 
wit.  

	The name under the painting said "Rebecca Bethany Taylor."

	"She was your great-great-great grand aunt," a voice said behind 
her.  

	Bethany turned to the voice she had been hearing all night.  The 
man was older than she was, but not by much.  He was wearing a formal 
suit of black with silver linings.  His hair was curly and dark while 
his eyes were bright and friendly.  Laugh lines framed his face though 
there were a few frown lines as well.  A dark top hat adorned hi9s head 
but he swept it off as he bowed.

	"Mr. Thompson?" she asked.

	"Yes, thank you for coming," he said.  "I was hoping you would 
have Rebecca's curiosity and spirit."

	"You sound like you knew her," Bethany said.

	"I did," Mr. Thompson answered.  "I had made plans to have sex 
with her the night I died.  I had a fatal heart attack while I waited 
in the lobby.  It was terribly disappointing."

~~~    
  
	When the door slammed, Amy was quick to react.  She rushed to the 
door but the door was stuck fast.  Kicking the door had no effect.  For 
some reason, the rotting wood absorbed all the force her powerful legs 
could exert.

	"She's a bad girl!" a whispered female voice said beside her.  
Amy spun and aimed her gun but no one was there.
	
	"A very bad girl," another feminine voice agreed.

	"Yes, she came here to steal something from Becky's girl," 
another voice said.

	"Ms. Flowers will know what to do!" yet another female voice 
said.

	"Show yourself, skanks!" Amy snarled. 

	The agent felt the temperature in the room drop as if an air 
conditioner kicked on.  Her gun was wrestled away from her hands by 
unseen forces before she could react.  Amy kicked the empty air with a 
nasty kick but she connected with nothing.  

	Before she could do anything else, the curtains came alive.  They 
flew from the wall and wrapped around her chest.  With her arms pinned 
to her sides Amy was helpless as she was picked up into the air.

	"You girls were right," she heard an older female voice say.  
"This one is a bad girl."

	"Fuck you!" Amy said defiantly.  In response, her pants were 
pulled off her legs.  Now the agent was nude below the waist except for 
her white cotton panties.  A slender board levitated from the wreckage 
of the dresser and Amy groaned, as her body was turned around in mid-
air.

	"Over the years, I've found one thing that always works on bad 
girls," the voice of Ms. Flowers said in the dark room.  "And that's a 
spanking."

	SMACK!
~~~

	"You seem to accept that I am a ghost fairly well," Mr. Thompson 
said.  He came closer and Bethany could smell his cologne.  It reminded 
her of pine and streams.

	Bethany shrugged.  "A ghost is a better explanation than a 
whorehouse filled with customers but without cars or modern lights.  
What happened here?"

	"Oh, I died of a heart attack," Mr. Thompson explained.  He 
brushed his fingers against her cheek.  "I was the lone ghost here for 
awhile and when the brothel was closed by the wives of the town, I 
thought I would die again of loneliness.  Luckily, as the former girls 
of the brothel got old and died, their spirits came back here."

	"They're all here?" Bethany asked.  "Even my great-great etc?"

	"No," Mr. Thompson sighed.  "She married, and her spirit moved 
elsewhere.  To most of these girls here, the brothel was the only 
family they had.  I spent so much time here; I considered it my home 
too.  Rebecca must have found happiness elsewhere, leaving me to long 
after her for years."     

	Mr. Thompson stepped closer and his hand moved to hold Bethany's.  
Bethany found his hand to be surprisingly warm and gentle.  She 
wondered what kind of man Rebecca must have found to leave this man 
behind.

	"You, Ms. Taylor, are the exact image of your ancestor," Mr. 
Thompson continued.  "I don't know if you are her reborn, or just an 
amazing likeness.  Either way, I request your services."

	Bethany shook her gaze from his intense eyes.  "How can I help 
you?"

	In answer, he kissed her.  Her lips barely felt his.  It was just 
a feather light touch on her lips and tongue.  His hands went to her 
hair, and it felt like a breeze was running through her.

	"I meant it more as a question, not a proposal," Bethany 
whispered.

	Mr. Thompson chuckled but he didn't stop.  He reached down and 
picked Bethany up by her thighs.  His kisses might have been spectral, 
but his grip and his strength was very real.

	"not that I'm complaining," Bethany added.

~~~

	SMACK!

	"Ouch!" Amy yelled again.  The swinging board was relentless.  
Her legs kicked and flailed but the floating curtain kept Amy suspended 
in the air for the entire punishment.  Her buttocks were burning from 
the spankings but the board didn't seem to care.

	"All right, all right!" Amy screamed.  "I'll be a good girl!"

	The board paused in the air.  

	"Apologize for having a chamber pot mouth," the voice of Ms. 
Flowers demanded.

	Amy hovered in the air.  Her ass was a bright red and her legs 
were exhausted from kicking.  Sadly, he bad attitude was still intact.

	"Fuck off and let me down!" Amy snapped.

	SMACK!
~~~

	Bethany was pinned against the wall by Mr. Thompson.  He dipped 
his head down and kissed her shirt but she felt his mouth on her skin!  
She wasn't sure at first, but as he kissed further down and licked her 
breast, she knew for sure.  His intangible mouth was kissing and 
sucking her skin underneath her shirt.

	Mr. Thompson pressed forward and Bethany cried out.  He had 
entered her, and both their pants were still on.  It blew her mind, but 
the solid feel of his cock dispelled her fears.  Bethany squirmed as 
her sex was opened inside her panties and she moaned as her thighs 
tried to grip around a person that wasn't there.

	"Finally!" Mr. Thompson groaned.  Years of denial caught up to 
him as his hips pumped against her.  Bethany cried out as he slammed 
into her, her buttocks bouncing off the wall like a perverse metronome.

	"Buddha!  Didn't you screw any of the other girls?" Bethany asked 
as her sex was pummeled.

	"There's just something about the living," Mr. Thompson gasped.

	"There's something about the dead," Bethany gasped.  Her body was 
shaking from the frenzied thrusting he was giving her.  Dust fell from 
the ceiling as their bodies collided.  

	His cock was so cold inside her, but the heat of their friction 
warmed her.  She clenched so many times, but was never able to clasp 
his sliding cock.  It was frustrating and intoxicating at the same 
time.  No matter how hard she arched, no matter how much she moaned, 
she couldn't control how much of him was in her, and she wanted more.

	"Yes!  Dear God, finally yes!!!" Mr. Thompson yelled.

	Bethany shuddered as his cock released ice-cold semen inside her.  
She shivered in his arms as the cold seeped into her bones.  Shaking, 
she moaned as he withdrew, cheating of her own orgasm.

	"Sorry," Mr. Thompson said.  "Like I said, it's been a long 
time."

~~~

	Amy's ass was beyond burned and was deep into inferno.

	"Say that you are sorry," the voice of Ms. Flowers demanded.

	Amy spun in the air.  Her legs were too tired to kick.  Even at a 
pause like this, Amy's ass was still flinching instinctively.  Through 
out it all, she never saw her spankers or the owners of the voices.  
All she did see was that board spanking her ass over and over and over.

	SMACK!

~~~

	"Well, glad I could help, I guess," Bethany said as she stood up.  
Her panties were soaked and her knees were shaking.

	"Wait, I almost forgot," Mr. Thompson said.  The smile on his 
face explained his faulty memory.  "Reach behind the painting."

	Bethany moved the painting off the wall, and was surprised to see 
an old-fashioned cubbyhole.  Inside was a small bag.  It jingled when 
she picked it up.

	"I was here when Ms. Flowers hid it," Mr. Thompson explained.  
"She left it there in case Rebecca ever came back.  Apparently, Rebecca 
left so quickly, she never received her last wages."

	Bethany opened the bag and whistled.  Inside, was a sparkling 
emerald necklace.  The gems caught the candlelight and reflected it 
onto Bethany's smiling face.

"She also thought it would look good on you, or Rebecca as the 
case may be," Mr. Thompson said.

"Damn, maybe I'm in the wrong business," Bethany said.  

When she didn't get an answer, she noticed Mr. Thompson was gone.  
The candles also winked out and she saw the true brothel for the first 
time.  Mostly, it was dark.

Bethany clicked on a tiny flashlight she carried on her key 
chain.  There was no sign of her ghostly lover, and quite frankly, the 
place looked like a dump.  She removed her foot out of something sticky 
and headed back for her car.

"Just like man," Bethany sighed.  "Wham, bam, fuck the living and 
they're gone."

Later, as the blonde got into her car, she thought she heard a 
yell.  Bethany shrugged and started the car.  There was no one out here 
for miles.

~~~

	"Are you going to apologize or not?" the disembodied voice of Ms. 
Flowers demanded.

	Amy considered.  At this point, it was just a matter of pride.  
It was true that her ass felt radioactive at this point, but what was 
pain compared to the shame of admitting defeat?

	"Go suck Casper," Amy said between clenched teeth.

	SMACK!
