Yes, the game of cat and mouse was on!. My cell phone rang after Claire disappeared. I expected it to be Claire trying to provoke me, but instead it turned out to be our boss, Lisa Cohen. She asked how things were going and chuckled at the cat and mouse game.
Lisa said she was hoping that we might find a way to work together on an upcoming case, in spite of the fact that we both preferred to work alone. She said the next target was extremely dangerous and she had no desire to lose either of us.
After she hung up, I left the kitchen, dumped the dagger Claire gave me and my own favorite switch blade in the pool where neither of us could utilize them. This will be hand to hand combat.
I laughed to myself when I saw her move past a patio window, knowing she was hoping I would take the bait and run after her. Instead I headed quickly to my guest room, knowing she no doubt had access to the security camera monitors. I ditched my clods and went barefoot, wearing only my work out shorts. After sticking some gum on the camera in my bedroom I slipped out my open window and climbed a drain pipe up on the roof.
I scooped up bird poop off the roof and blocked the security camera on the roof. Assuming that she could hear me on the roof, but not see me, I made noise heading back towards my guestroom, then shot a wire back at her bedroom chimney and swung over there making nary a sound.
I guess she was smarter then I thought, because she must have lit the gas burner and the chimney began heating up. I heard her open her bedroom window and yell out, "Rookie!"
Never one to miss a dare, I used my wire to vault off the roof and swing in through the now open window, ready for hand to hand battle. She surprised me all right. She was now spread eagled on her bed, totally naked! What a tempting sight!
I stripped out of my workout shorts and gave HER something to look at. Using one of the four silk scarves I had stuck in my shorts pocket, I tied off her left ankle to the nearest bedpost. Before I could anchor the other leg, she used it beautifully to flip me over on the bed. She could have won right there but chose to pass and monitor my next move.
Trust me, it wasn't easy to watch her hands instead of her naked breasts with their erect little nipples, or her totally exposed garden. Hell, she even arched her back to improve the view while I tied her other ankle to the other bedpost.
She just sort of smiled, swiped one of the remaining two scarves and tied our wrists together, sat up and kissed me hard on the mouth. I felt her teeth dig in my lip drawing first blood to win the game.
I conceded her victory, but used that moment to tie our other writs together and using my superior strength, pinned her arms over her head. One thrust and I penetrated her garden, taking her in my own way. The remaining wild affair was censored in the room, but trust me, she more than whimpered.
One point for Claire, one point for Roy.
