An interlude and entertainment

I walk down the hallway wishing I had kept my pistol with me. Viktorija walks up carrying a tote bag.

She says, “Mr. James, would you please accompany me?”

“Certainly, Viktorija.” I offer her my arm, and she gives me a slight smile as she leads me down the hall, through the salon, and into the parlor. She releases my arm and closes the French doors.

She sets the tote on the ground and throws her arms around my neck, burying her face in my neck and pressing her breasts into my chest. Lifting her head, she brushes a kiss across my lips before she steps back.

“I’m sorry, William.” She murmurs so low I can barely hear it. “The Valerans are pains in the ass,” she says. “I just want to go get on my computer and empty their bank accounts, plant evidence, and just generally fuck with them.” Despite the low volume of her voice, it is full of venom.

I look at her with my hands on her shoulders as another piece clicks into place. “You’re Bernadette’s hacker,” I murmur quietly.

Her eyes open wide. “Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit,” she mutters. “I wasn’t supposed to tell you that. Ever.”

“And you are preparing to graduate from art school. I’m guessing you are her forger as well,” I opine quietly.

She gets a frustrated frown on her face as she looks deeper into the room. She turns back to me and gives me a tiny nod.

“It doesn’t matter, Viktorija. I care for you deeply, and I will always protect you.” I kiss her forehead gently. I tell her, “I haven’t told you today, but that gown looks beautiful on you. Is it one of yours?”

She looks up at me with a glittering smile. “You’re too good to me, William.”

“Never, Viktorija.” I smile back. “I’m assuming you didn’t drag me in here to vent or have me pump you up. How may I help you, sweetie?”

She grins, “Actually...I brought you here to help you. She pulls out my holster. I clear the magazine from the Sig P365 and walk to a side table. I quickly field strip the weapon and check the barrel. I quickly reassemble it, function check and load it. Finally, I rack a round into the chamber before I holster it. I clip the holster to my waistband.

Viktorija reaches into the tote and pulls a flashlight and my second collapsible baton. The flashlight is one of the Taser contact weapons. I put that in my right jacket pocket. I clip the other baton behind the pistol.

Viktoria says, “I got the girls’ clutches to them, too. Marissa has a pistol and her taser. Josie and Rebecca have tasers and knives.”

I clasp her to me. “Thank you, sweetie. I fear we’re going to need it before this evening is over. Something is seriously wrong with the Valeran party.”

“I have a .25 caliber pistol and a Taser flashlight. Let’s get you to your ladies, William. I have your back,” she says.

I cup her chin.
