Commandeered (Mercury Black Authority Book 2) Read online

  The dinner was an excellent Beef Burgundy with everybody appreciating Alan’s efforts. The men adjourned to the gun range. Beth arranged for dessert to be served at her shop. There were several sets of lingerie laid out. All the women dressed in lingerie for dessert. Opal ended up with a dark maroon set. The fit was almost perfect. The bra was a push up bra with the cups coming just above her nipples. The other women’s outfits fit perfectly since they were made for them. Opal walked around the room slowly sipping her wine while she examined the other women’s lingerie inspecting the fit. Red was the color that was missing.

  Opal always thought that red was a sexy color. “What about red? You have every possible color except for red. “

  “We have several red outfits. We will model them after dessert.”

  An ice cream dessert was served. Alan made a flaming blueberry brandy topping and served the ice cream. The usual nuts and Devon clotted cream were available too. Susan went to change early. She came out in a fire red transparent bra and panty set with red hose and red knee length boots. Opal felt herself being aroused by the combination. With Susan being as tall as she was her waist was eye level with the seated Opal. The others will be a while. Let’s have some refreshment,” Susan handed her a drink. Opal readily accepted the drink finishing it quickly. Susan mixed her another cocktail. Lynn led the way for Suki, Beth, Terri, Anna and Arlene. All of the sets were some shade of red. The hose and shoes were also red. Liz was dressed completely in red. She wore a platform bra exposing her nipples and most of each breast, which was normally out of bounds for lingerie parties. Liz also had on red fish net stockings and platform shoes with six inch heels. Opal found herself being stirred by the sight. She wanted to reach out and touch the panty, but for some reason, her arms would not work. Liz took a red cane and placed it across Opal’s lap. Liz turned around and presented her ass to Opal. The three scars were still pink.

  “Would you like to use that on me?”

  “I put those scars there and I would like to put a few more on that ass.” Opal’s voice sounded distant, as if it was not her speaking. She could not believe what she had just said. Liz went to pick up the cane, but Susan stopped her.

  “You promised Adam that you would not act out of revenge. We made sure that you were an active participant.”

  “Adam is right, Susan. Revenge is a trap. We have some time to decide what needs to be done.” Liz looked down at Opal.

  “For now, you will be entertained by watching Anna work.” Susan smiled wickedly at Anna. “Would you like to contribute? I believe Adam wanted everything that she knows including financial information.”

  “I would love to get better acquainted with Opal,” Anna said with a hungry look on her face. “Come Liz, I am sure that you will have fun playing too. I will show you how I disciplined the errant women at the base.” Anna and Liz moved Opal to a wheel chair. “We will finish this in the stable.”

  Susan called the shooting range telling Adam to pack things up. Susan took Terri, Suki and Lynn to the shooting range in their red lingerie. Suki claimed Frank taking him to the apartment and Adam took Terri home. Susan mixed a drink for Alfred. He could not take his eyes off of the transparent bra and panty set. Susan’s hose and red leather boots topped things off and with her four inch heels Susan stood a full head higher than Alfred. He downed the first drink and readily accepted a second to calm himself.

  “I bet you would like us to entertain you.”

  “I’ll say I would.” Alfred was seated at eyelevel with Susan’s panties. He looked at Lynn. “Can I talk you into slipping a bag over her head?” Alfred could not believe that he said that to Susan. “At the other parties wearing red means that you are fair game, snuff her now.”

  Lynn spotted a roll of plastic wrap under the counter. She picked it up and walked over to Alfred holding it over his nose and mouth. Alfred was thinking that this is all wrong. Susan was supposed to do that to her. Alfred could not lift his arms to stop her, but Susan restrained Lynn.

  “We need some information from him first.” Lynn took the plastic away helping Susan load Alfred in the cart. When Susan arrived at the stable Opal was hog tied on the floor of the geldings stall rolling around in the horse shit. Anna and Liz were sitting on hay bales deeply involved in discussion on the art of interrogation being sure that they talked loud enough for Opal to hear. They helped Susan and Lynn in getting Alfred off of the cart in his wrappings.

  “We reserved a suite for you and your wife. She is waiting for you now.” Susan took the gelding out of the stall placing Alfred next to Opal. Susan put the gelding back in the stall and the four women sat down on the hay bales. The scene was rather bizarre. The four women were sitting around in fine red lingerie and heels talking about interrogating people with their drinks in hand. This was the scene that greeted Adam when he walked into the stable to see how things were going. Anna greeted him as the door closed. Now that you are here, grab a hose and clean them up. Adam propped them on hay bales and roughly hosed the straw and horse shit off of Opal and Alfred. Anna decided to start with Alfred sitting him down on a hay bale in the center of the stall with women on all sides. The knock out drops had mostly worn off.

  “You crazy cunts…” Anna stepped up behind him giving Alfred a blow to the back of the head with the palm of her hand that knocked him off the hay bale. She stepped on the base of his spine pushing painfully with her spiked heel. Liz stepped on his head inserting her heel in his ear while Susan and Lynn picked other spots.

  “You may want to rethink your choice of words.” Anna continued calmly. “I will give you one chance to do this without pain. I will ask you a question and if you do not answer I guarantee you pain.” Anna pumped her heel several times on Alfred’s spine. “We are not bound captives that you can beat at your whim.”

  “You are very clear.” He shivered as she removed her heel.

  “What is your involvement with the boss?”

  “He is our customer. We supply clothing to his operation.”

  “When I buy food at the grocery I do not invite the owner to dinner. Let me be more specific. Why were you at the party caning Muriel’s ass into hamburger.”

  “Don’t tell them a thing,” Opal shouted out from the stall. Alfred shook his head no.

  “I am glad that he said that. Lynn, go get Shultz from the kennel.” Lynn disappeared and returned with her German Shepard. She sprayed a liquid on Alfred’s genitals and said ‘dinner’ to Shultz. Shultz immediately began to growl and bare his teeth. Anna looked down at Alfred.

  “I won’t repeat the question. I am sure that you remember it.”

  “Alfred closed his lips tightly and shook his head no.”

  Susan used her determined voice, “Lynn, it is time to feed Shultz.”

  Lynn’s voice was clear and even, “He did miss his breakfast this morning. If he takes one bite, he will want it all.” Lynn started letting the leash out.

  “If he takes one bite, we will let him have the whole thing.” Anna whispered in Alfred’s ear. Shultz was an inch away, when Alfred started to babble.

  “Opal and I are into bondage. The boss told us that this was the ultimate. We agreed to attend, after the first party Opal and I spent the next week having sex.”

  “The first party, how many parties did you attend?”

  “Four altogether,” Anna looked at Liz. Liz knew what they had intended to do to Opal. Anna continued to ask questions and after the first few questions, Alfred gave her everything that she asked for. They bound Alfred to the stall rails to watch Opal’s interrogation. Adam brought Opal out of the stall and laid her on the hay bale hosing her clean.

  Anna stroked Opal’s head gently. “You heard Alfred tell us everything. You can tell us right now and avoid any unpleasant activities.”

  “Alfred is a wimp. I can take anything that you can dish out.” Anna rolled a fistful of hair in her hand and pulled back firmly.

  “I was hoping that you would say that.” She motione
d to Lynn. Get the bucket and the pump. Lynn brought out a five gallon bucket of ice and a pump hooked up to some rubber hoses with a nozzle attached to the end of one of the hoses. Anna handed the nozzle to Liz. “Work this up as far as you can inside of her.” Liz worked about four feet of the hose up Opals colon. Anna had to hand it to Opal she only made the occasional grunt.

  “You have one more chance. I am going to ask some questions and you are going to answer.”

  “You cannot do this. It will never hold up in court.”

  “Who said anything about going to court? How close are you to Dianne?”

  “Dianne will get her revenge when she comes back. It is a good thing that you are all dressed in red. She will get you all.”

  “So you did a lot with Dianne.”

  “You can kiss my ass.”

  “Speaking of your ass,” Anna nodded to Liz. She poured water over the ice in the five gallon bucket going over to the pump switch and tapping it momentarily. A quick shot of ice water went high into Opal’s colon causing her to double over with a scream. It was several minutes before she could talk.

  “That was just a hint of what could happen.”

  “Dianne and I had the Boss recruit Alfred for the parties. I have attended these parties for years. I helped Dianne select victims. We have been lovers for years.” Opal looked at Susan and Lynn. “You two were on the list. We came up with Lola by accident. Dianne and I had good fun with Ruby too. Dianne called off killing you because of Noah. She did not want to piss off a hit man.” Opal indicated Liz. “Andrew brought this little slut in while I was out of town. I only saw her ass briefly at the poker party.”

  Anna was prepared to stop Liz. She was glad that Liz did not move to hit the switch. Anna went on with all the other questions. She had bank accounts, safe deposit boxes and cash stashes. Most importantly Opal told them where Dianne’s backup black mail stash was. All that Dianne had told Anna about was the Boss’s blackmail stash was that it was in the house.” When they were finished Anna gave Liz permission to revenge herself on Opal.

  “I can wait until we verify the information. Opal gave us different information than Alfred did. I believed you when you said we need to keep our mind on business. We need to find out who this Noah is.” Liz wanted to show Adam that she could act with restraint.

  “No we don’t.” The three other women pointed to Adam. Liz was only mildly surprised to find out that Adam was Noah.

  “You are an international hit man?” Adam shook his head no.

  “I am just a messenger.” He left it at that. Liz was looking at him in a totally different light. Adam killed over fifteen people to protect the women of the Inn and her. She started to understand the intense bond between everybody here. Even Anna was fiercely loyal. Susan was a tough customer but this Anna was a true interrogator. Susan looked around the room. Anna was the closest to Opal in body type.

  “We need to check up on the information. Anna with a wig you would be very close and Mark could pass for Alfred. I can have Frank drive you around in their car. Opal started to scream.

  “You are going to steal from me!” Lynn snatched the control switch for the pump from Liz’s hand. She held the button down and curled her body around her hands so that nobody could stop her. By the time they could pry the control from her hands over three gallons of ice water pumped into Opal’s colon in less than a minute. The scream was ear shattering as Opal writhed around on the floor until her body stiffened with a look of horror frozen on her face. Anna looked Opal over hurriedly.

  “Her heart stopped. It must be the shock.” Nobody tried to revive her. Liz walked over to Alfred.

  “You helped to kill at least six women, and you were going to kill us.” Lynn slipped a bag over his head and taped it at the neck. “Rot in hell bastard.”

  Anna went to the Quiet cottage in search of Gregory. Liz went with Susan and Lynn to their home. Adam stayed behind to clean up the stables. Martin was decidedly unhappy with all of the mayhem in the stables. He wanted to stick to his horses. Susan was bothered that Lynn was so calm about inflicting such great pain on Opal and suffocating Alfred. She normally was void of violent tendencies.

  “Why did you do those things?”

  “They tried to kill us. They did not even know who we were. You heard Alfred at the gun range. He thought it was natural to kill women.” Lynn broke down in tears as she offered the real answer, “They had to go! They tried to kill you!”

  Susan nodded her permission, “Tell Liz what happened.” Lynn went into detail describing how Terri and Suki were nearly killed and they were successful killing Milo, Ruby and Lola. Liz knew the rest of the story for the most part.

  Ralph rented a Twin Otter in the morning with Adam loading the two bodies into the Twin Otter. Liz jumped in the plane.

  “I want to help. Lynn took all of the revenge. I want to see them off to hell.” She looked around the cabin. The bodies were wrapped in black plastic and laid out near the door. There were several large rocks on the cabin floor. Ralph flew four hundred miles out over the North Sea. Adam removed the plastic and rolled the naked bodies out the door. Adam took the plastic tarps from the bodies and after flying fifty miles rolled them out of the plane. Adam spent the rest of the flight comforting Liz. She had found a new appreciation for Adam.

  “Lynn said that you saved her life more than once and you just saved mine,” Liz let her voice express her reflective mood. “No wonder everybody is so loyal. The only reason that Opal did not recognize me is the way that you set me up. Why did you do it? You gave me two hundred and fifty thousand on top of the sixty thousand. Why…?”

  “I didn’t give you anything they owed it to you,” Adam said his voice barely above a whisper, “I just collected.” Adam had a personal code that she only thought she understood. Liz made a mental commitment to do whatever it would take should she have to protect Adam.

  Mark and Anna dressed in Alfred and Opal’s clothes and started visiting the different stashes and banks. Susan, Lynn and Adam wanted no part of the money. There were eight hundred thousand pounds. They gave Anna, Mark, Frank, and Ralph a hundred thousand each giving Liz two hundred thousand since she was the intended victim and Susan put two hundred thousand toward the construction of Beth and Arleen’s new shop. Adam, Terri, and Lynn refused shares along with Susan. The evidence implicated a few more highly placed officials with Susan turning it over to MI 5.

  Adam did not make it to bed until three in the afternoon. Terri was not in a good mood, since sitting around was not a good thing for her. Suki was trying her best to keep Terri calm. Adam was planning his big push and she did not like it. Jennifer returned from her trip and spent a few hours with her. Terri did not want to review the last few days. Worst of all, the hangar called and said that the Ark would be ready tomorrow morning. With the Ark ready, Adam would push to finish his plan. Frank had a load of arms for Sheik Husayn and he wanted to deliver them personally. Frank had an export license for these arms so things would go smoothly. The shipment was completely legal, since it was small and within the limits allowed by the license.

  Ralph was chomping at the bit to check out all of the work on the Caribou. He convinced Adam into going down this evening to check it out, but Terri absolutely refused to go. When Adam and Ralph arrived at the hangar, the Ark was parked on the flight line. It looked like a new aircraft. They checked in with the manager and found out that Adam had ten thousand Pounds change due. Adam made an arrangement, to have an open account with the hangar. He put up five thousand pounds more against any future needs. Ralph and Adam reviewed the log book. There were one or two small items that maintenance added but the good news was that the log book was clean. The painters even removed some of the insulation and did a quick paint on the inside of the cargo compartment. They found the same type of insulation available in white and installed a double layer of insulation under the white fiber glass panels. The only thing that gave away its military origin was a few items in the cockpit. Ra
lph wanted to fire it up but there were a few tags hanging in the cockpit.

  “Can you do a long trip tomorrow,” Adam asked. Frank wants to deliver about five thousand pounds of weapons to Sheik Husayn.”

  “I would love to go. Who is going to be my copilot?”

  “Gregory volunteered for this one, but we are going to need a Brit to fly with you in the long run.”

  Ralph thought for a minute, “I may have someone that you can use. He is a pilot over here but it has been a while since I have talked to him.” Ralph and Adam went over to Brit Worldwide to make some phone calls. Ralph tried three different numbers. On the third number Ralph spent about twenty minutes on the phone. When he hung up he was laughing.

  “The pilot that I had in mind is available. He was flying that other Caribou that we looked at. He will fly as long as it is not that other piece of shit. If I call him back he will come out to the Inn tonight and fly tomorrow. I told him that pay would not be a problem.”

  “Does he have the same history that you have?”

  “He did a few months with Air America and went into smuggling Asians into Australia. They confiscated the plane and he ended up flying drilling equipment around the Middle East. I told him that the pay would not be a problem. We have done business together before, so he took my word for it.”

  “His name is not Frank is it.”

  “No, it is Roger.”

  “As long as his name is not Frank I will hire him.”

  Ralph chuckled at the comment, “You do not want to talk to him?”

  “If you know that you can work with him. He is on the payroll. Give him a call. I still want Gregory to get checked out later. He has thousands of hours in the air with his military experience.”

  “What did he fly?”

  Adam said, “Gregory flew Antonovs. He knows Russian lift capabilities and their command structure. Both Gregory and Anna have the key to this deal, so I want him to be as mobile as possible.” The light flashed on in Ralph’s head.

  Gregory and Anna were visiting with Susan when Adam found them. “It is time to put the fine details together. Why don’t we start with the split?”
