Wrongful Kiss Chapter 13 : Hump Day September 14th 2011
On the Saturday, after meeting Kelly in the bar, David went back to see if he could find her. He already had someone waiting for his attention. But Kelly would just not leave his mind. He had not stopped thinking about her sense first meeting her.
At the bar David was able to find out that Kelly was the manager of a storage company. So with a little detective work he was able to find out the closes storage location to the bar. Guessing that this had to be her place of business David drove to the location and there on the door was the name of the manager, Kelly Ann Addison.
David then went on the internet and found what he was looking for.
Within an hour David knew as much as there was to know about a Ms. Kelly Ann Addison. David thought it was strange that he could not find a listing for Kelly on any of the social net works. She just did not have a My Space, or Face Book, or any other kind of web site. David wondered if Kelly even owned a computer.
Kelly may not have had a computer but the company she worked for had a Computer and they also had a file on her, and that file had her address and other personal data.
On Sunday David was setting in front of Kelly’s house when she and Mona left with Tasha to go eat and see a movie. David wondered if Mona might live with Tasha but then remembered Mona had said she lived alone.
The little girl had to be Kelly’s daughter. She was beautiful David thought and at the same time thought of someone that would pay a nice price for her. David started taking pictures and within a few minutes had sent them off with an email saying he had found a new model for the collection.
Sure enough within a few hours he received a reply telling him that he would be paid $10,000.00 cash for the child. There were also details on when and where he should go to meet a flight that would take the girl child from the United States to the buyer. He was to deliver the child to a private jet at a local airport on the Monday after tomorrow and there he would be paid his commission.
After watching the girls most of the day, and receiving his reply, David left the girls to return to the house where his guest was waiting for his touch.
So far she had been unable to make him happy, but David knew that with the right trailing she would learn what he wanted. He would train her again that night.
On Monday morning David had been at the storage location when Kelly and Tasha had showed up for work. David took more pictures, snapping away on his new 35 mm digital camera, zooming in on both Kelly and the little girl. The pictures from the day before had been okay, but the buyer wanted some higher quality pictures of the girl.
It was when he seen the little girl getting on the bus and leave and Kelly went next door that he thought to him self that he should have a little fun. He really was not trying to hurt Kelly but he did want to see how much he could scare her. It was always nice to know your victims trauma point.
After leaving Kelly standing there in shock, David returned to the house and making sure his guest was still secure. He then sent off an email with the new pictures of Kelly and the little girl.
The rest of the day was his own to do with as he pleased. He pleased to give attention to his guest. He spent the rest of the day and well into the night training the new girl.
After he was finished with her David wanted to check out the house Kelly and the child lived in again. There he saw that she now had what looked like a team of security watching over them.
After again using the camera, and the internet, he was able to learn that a local family was watching over Kelly for some reason. The game had become interesting.
David then contacted his contact and told them what he had learned and asked for instruction. After that David went back to the house to enjoy the last few hours of life that his guest had left, and to wait for a reply.
It was several hours later and David had been in the kitchen eating when the call come in telling him everything that he needed to know about the family know as Heaven, and their God.
He was also told arraignments were being made to make sure he had no problems, but just in case he was to deliver the girl child on the following Monday no matter what.
David had then waited all day Tuesday to see what the security on the two girls would do. Seeing that there was no change, David had thought to get things moving. That was when he made contact with Bob Indus. And he loved it. Seeing the look on the two men’s face was priceless. He had shocked both of them.
By daylight on Wednesday David had already picked out another truck. Anyone that had seen David over the past few weeks would have thought David owned a truck sales company. That was how many times he had changed trucks. He did not use cash.
David had also rented a hotel room. He could not go back to the house. His guest had made a mess of everything there.
Now David was setting across the street from the storage company in the parking lot of a Mexican restaurant. He could see the two men but they had not seen him yet. They should have been given the orders to leave already but so far they were still there. Not only that, but two more had showed up and were now in the office with the girl, Kelly.
Okay so maybe Omar did not have all the power he said he had. For some reason this security team was not leaving. David wondered who Kelly might be, was there something special about her that made giving her this much attention important? He had not seen anything in her file. Maybe she was screwing someone rich or famous. If so then the child might also be worth more.
But that did not matter. Omar did not make deals. He told you what was going to happen and you did it. There was no way to get more money from Omar. He had already set the price. But then, Omar did not want Kelly. So maybe she was worth something to someone? David made a phone call.
Dan Harper had been having a late dinner with Little Andy and Greg when Bob Indus had called him. After listening for several seconds Dan told Bob that he was not to leave Kelly unattended for one second until Greg and Andy arrived. He also told Bob that no one was allowed to countermand these orders, and asked Bob if he understood what he was saying.
Bob said he did understand and would not leave the girl alone till little Andy or Greg told him to do so.
Next Bob tried to call his brother Andy. There was no answer so Dan thought he had gone to bed. But that was not right, because Andy always had this phone next to him and always answered it. This was the first time Dan could ever remember trying to call his brother and not getting an answer.
Andy and Greg had not stopped eating while Dan was making his calls. They were just finishing when Dan finished his calls.
Dan then told the two men to drive to Atlanta as fast as they could and to take charge of security on the girls. He told them that under no circumstances were these orders to be overridden by anyone, and he said that meant anyone.
Both Andy and Greg were up and moving by the time Dan finish talking and left the house within the half hour.
Dan then picked up the phone and called a very important man in Atlanta, Chief of Detectives Captain Turner James.
“Do you know who this is?” he asked when the man on the other end of the phone answered saying “Hello.”
“Yes.” The man replied.
“We have a problem. I am going to need your help. And you may have to make some very tough choices.” Dan paused to let that message sink in.
“I understand.” said Turner James.
An hour later and a few more phone calls, Dan Harper was getting into bed.
Turner James was on the phone with Sergeant Dan Johnson who was his daughter’s boss.
Andy Harper had not gone to bed after talking to his brother earlier that night. He has set here and wondered about the course of actions taking place around him.
He was in a pickle of a predicament and he didn’t like it.
On the one hand he had given his word to keep this girl Kelly safe. And he had never broken his word. But this child was not part of the deal, so really he could not be held responsible for her.
No that was not right he had always accepted that the baby was part of the deal by extension. But still, he had also pledged his word to someone else to obey some other rules.
The brotherhood was old. They had many names. There were many smaller groups that were part of the brotherhood. And Heaven was just one of the smaller groups that made up the bigger picture.
The best kept secret about the brotherhood was the fact that it was a secret.
Andy had several smaller groups under him that took orders from him, and not one of them knew who was over Andy. They knew he had someone over him, but they did not know who it would be. Likewise they did not know who else Andy might have control of.
Andy also knew that someone was over Omar. He also had someone giving him orders. But for Andy he only needed to know one person, and that someone was Omar.
There was a web site that every head of a family knew about. This site was set up like a dear Abby in that someone could go in and using key words send a message and get a reply. The problem was that you never knew who was sending the reply. And the reply was always the law.
Andy had taken a chance to ask for contact with someone over Omar to talk about the problem with. His message was that he and his brother were having a problem and needed to talk to a bigger brother to act as a go between.
The reply that came back had not been good. It said your brother is in the right and it would be best for you to follow his leadership.
Andy had no choice but to give up Kelly and her daughter and try to make it up to Thomas some way. With any luck maybe Thomas would never find out what he had done. Damn why this couldn’t have waited for another year was beyond him. Or why did it not happen last year before Thomas had turned up.
Omar had won he could do what ever he wanted. He had followed protocol and had informed his superior that he was recruiting a child into his family for breeding purposes, and that this child was coming from an area controlled by a sub group.
He had then been told to make sure to compensate the leader of that area and then do what he needed to do.
Then Omar had contacted Andy and told him what he was going to do. And he had also made sure that the family was paid very well for the lost of the girl and mother. There should have been no more problem.
And if not for his word to Thomas, Andy would not have had a problem.
Andy’s special phone started to ring. It was his brother. Andy did not answer it. He knew there was going to be a problem there for sure. There was no way Dan was going to let this happen.
As always Kelly was early for work. She did not make the stop at the other place this morning instead she parked at the storage office and walked with Tasha over to the service mart.
Darrin Canlove was at the register and was ringing up other early morning customers. He and Kelly talked while Tasha did the shopping.
Darrin or Kelly did not speak about what had happened the day before. But Kelly could tell Darrin knew more than he was showing.
After Tasha was finish shopping and making coffee Kelly paid for everything and they left to go to storage. When they arrived they were surprised to see Greg and Andy there waiting for them. They had already sent Bob Indus and his partner home to get some sleep for the next twelve hours. Kelly looked out the window just in time to see the two men drive away.
Greg introduced Andy as the son of Dan Harper and the brother of the owner of the storage company. Greg told Kelly that Andy was going to be Tasha’s security for the day and that he would be going to school with her.
Tasha wanted to know why she had to have a guy following her around all day, especial a creepy looking guy like Andy. She really didn’t think he was creepy looking and in fact thought he was cute. But an eleven year old girl cannot be telling guys things like that.
It was then that Greg spoke up and told Tasha that Andy was in training to be a special officer in the companies security department, something like a spy, and that he needed a reason to check out the schools security and was going to use her as cover.
Tasha understood this and was very much in agreement with the ideal if she could also help be a spy. So Andy told Tasha that she needed to be on the lookout for any one she did not know that might be hanging around the school. Tasha said she could do this.
After Andy and Tasha went into the back office to work out their plan for spying that day Kelly asked Greg what was really going on.
“Nothing much” Greg said. ‘I am pretty sure that what happened Monday was just a flake of events and just some fruit cake having fun. But we want to make sure before we write it off as nothing.”
Kelly was watching Greg’s eyes trying to see the lie’s her ears were telling her were there. She could not see any.
“It’s just that so much has happened now all at once what with Thomas turning up, the detective asking questions, and the fruit cake thing, we just want to make sure.”
“You are not telling me the truth Greg.” Kelly said. She started working making the store ready to open.
Tasha and Andy come into the main office.
“Mama I am going to see if Carl made it home.” Tasha said not realizing that these two men should not have known Carl lived in the storage unit.
Kelly looked from Tasha to Greg and then to Andy. Her mouth open but she said nothing.
“It’s okay. We already know.” Andy said smiling. “I will go with her and check.”
Kelly did not say anything as her daughter and Andy walked out the door. She finished counting her money for her drawer. It was all there. Greg remained silent till Kelly finished counting.
“You have known this man Carl for a long time? Greg asked.
Kelly looked at him. “I have.”
“And you trust him?”
“I do. Carl would never hurt me or Tasha. I am sure of this.”
Tasha and Andy come back into the office. Tasha had been running.
“He is not there mama.” Tasha said. “He didn’t come back last night.”
Kelly just looked at Tasha. She was thinking.
“Maybe he went to one of his other camps last night?” Kelly said.
“Maybe” Tasha answered with a worried tone.
“I will watch out for him today and tell him you were looking for him.” Kelly said.
“Okay” Tasha said stilled worried. She picked up her books; it was time for her to catch the bus. “I got to go.” She said.
“I am going to go warm up the car.” said Andy. “I will see you at the school.” He was talking to Greg.
Andy went out the door as Kelly come around the counter and kissed Tasha good bye.
“Come straight here when you get out of school.” Kelly said.
“I will.” Tasha said as she went out the door.
Greg turned to Kelly. “We will need to ride over to the school also so that you can go in and make sure the principal or whoever knows Andy is going to be there today.”
“What about the store.”
“We own the store, remember.”
“You know they are not going to let a man hang around the school all day today don’t you?” Kelly asked.
“Yes they will. Andy has ID that says he is a state cop. And there is someone in the capitol down town that will cover his story if needed.”
Kelly laughed. “Who are you people really?”
Greg just smiled.
Tasha walked to her spot to wait on the bus. She had about two minutes before it would arrive. From where she was she could see Andy was already in his car. She also could see her mother come out the door with Greg and walk to Kelly’s car.
She then saw someone walking up to her. At first she become scared having not seen him sooner, but then saw it was only Martin.
“What do you want?” she asked.
“Tasha I need to talk to you.” Martin said.
Tasha could see there was a cut going down the side of Martins face. It had dried blood on it. It was not a bad cut, but should have been seen about.
“Who beat you up?” Tasha asked.
“Ca…” Martin started to say, but then changed. “No one beat me up. I fell down.”
Tasha laughed.
“Don’t laugh at me Tasha. You know I care about you.”
“Well I don’t care about you. You are a mean boy now leave me alone.”
“I have to tell you something. You are in danger.” Martin said.
“The only danger here is that you are going to bore me to death Martin Yates. Now leave me alone.”
The school bus drove up and stopped. The door opened. Kelly and Greg were driving up the storage drive way toward the street. Andy had started the car and was also driving toward Tasha and Martin. Tasha started to get on the bus.
Martin reached out and grabbed Tasha by the arm. “Please listen to me.”
“Let go of me Martin Yates, and leave me alone. I don’t like you.” Tasha pulled away and ran into the bus. The bus drove away.
Kelly and Greg drove off after the bus. Andy stopped beside Martin and let the window down.
“Do not be around any where when we return.” He told Martin. Then Andy drove off after the bus.
Martin stood there looking around. He was lost at ideals of what to do. Then he saw the black truck across the street in the Mexican restaurant parking lot. There in the truck was that man again. He was laughing. Martin turned and ran.
Martin was no coward. But he was a fool. He wanted to know what this man was up to. So after he ran out of site of the truck he circled back around and come up behind where the truck had been only to find that it was gone.
David had out guessed Martin and had moved the truck. When Martin showed his self at the spot the truck had been David was there waiting for him. He had been right, the boy was watching him.
All David did was watch and the boy showed back up. And the boy had thought he was so cool, he thought he had out smarted David. He had changed into another shirt from his back pack and had on his hat now but David knew who he was as soon as he seen him.
Did this kid really think he was hiding from me, David thought?
Martin had first thought that the man was a dumb as a rock for setting there in the open like he had. But now when he had returned and the truck was gone, Martin was beginning to feel scared.
David had stepped out of his hiding place and grabbed Martin as soon as Martin started to leave. Martin now understood why David had chosen this spot.
David had grabbed Martin between his legs. He had his self a hand full of boy man and was applying pressure. Martin wanted to cry out but the words would not come.
“Why are you following me kid?” David said.
“I am not following you.” Martin managed to say when David released the pressure a little.
David gripped harder. “I will tell you, I will tell you.” Martin cried.
David let him go. Martin fell to his knees. His face was full of tears now.
“I am waiting boy. And I don’t like to wait.”
Martin looked up and with more than a little effort said “You are watching my girl friend.”
They looked at each other. Not a word was spoken. They were feeling each other out.
“Your girl friend” David smiled. “That pretty little doll is your girl friend?”
“Yes.” Martin said. She was his girl friend, even if she didn’t know it yet.
“Well I could see she was your girl friend by the way she ripped out of your hands.” David taunted. Martin did not say anything. The pain was just starting to stop hurting.
“We had some words.” Martin said. “She is just mad at me right now. But she still loves me.”
“Really, know what I think. I think she hates you. And I think you are trying to impress her so as to make her like you.”
Martin just stood there, now that he could. He knew he would not be able to run just yet so he did not try. David stood there and watched him for a few minutes.
“What would you say if I gave you that little girl to do with as you please?” asked David.
Martin’s eyes were sparkling. Tasha’s face appeared in his mind. All the things he had thought about doing with her; to her.
“What do you mean?’ Martin asked.
“I mean, I want the mama.” David watched Martin for signs, trying to read his thoughts.
“I like you kid. You got spunk. I am leaving town in a few days. And if you like, I will take you with me. We can take the girl also, and she will become your slave.”
David could see he had Martins attention. Martin was a dumb fool kid. He was buying this hook line and sinker.
“You like this ideal? Don’t you.” David said. “Come, the truck is parked across the street Lets go some where and talk.”
Martin thought about this. Something told him it was not a good ideal. But the thought of having Tasha and doing as he please was more powerful to him that the fear of David. Martin went with David to the truck.
As they drove, David asked Martin all about himself. And with each new fact learned he told another lie to string the boy alone. He was trying to see what kind of person Martin was.
David did not like to hurt nice people. No wait, that’s not true. He didn’t like to hurt nice people as much as he did bad people, because by hurting bad people, it made you an even worse person. David wanted to be the worse person ever.
“So have you ever killed anyone David?” Martin asked.
“Sure I have.” David said. “Have you.” He didn’t expect to hear the reply he received.
“Yes. I killed someone last night.” Martin was looking at David as he drove. He had started liking this kid. He was cool. Way cooler than his dad. That bastard never did anything except hit him. And he was too scared to fight a man his own age. This was not true of course, just the way David seen it.
David lost control of his self when Martin had said this. He wet his pants a little he thought. This kid was fun. Too bad he was going to die.
“Tell me all about it” David said. He really wanted to hear all the details.
After hearing the story, David asked where this place was that the body was at. Martin told him and said that they could park in a place he knew about and come in from the rear and no one would see them. So David told Martin to show him the site.
Sure enough there was Carl’s body, just laying there on the ground.
“And you say you this with your own hands?” asked David.
“Yes. He hit me with a bottle and so I grabbed him around the neck and choked him.” Martin smiled as he showed David the side of his face.
For a second David thought he should keep this boy with him. Maybe train him. Just the same way he had been trained those many years ago by Julie’s dad.
Julie, now that was a fuck he had not had in a long time. Wonder how she was doing.
David looked around the camp site. Then he saw what he was looking for, a rope that would work.
Then when Martin was not looking, David grabbed him from behind, one hand over the boy’s mouth.
“Is this how you did it?” David asked. He pushed Martin face down on the ground and tied the rope around one hand. Then after hitting the boy and knocking all the fight out of him, David tied Martin between two trees with no shirt on. David then stood there and looked at him.
“Are you going to rape me?” Martin cried?
“Of course not,” David said. “That’s sick. I would never rape a little boy, or little girl for that matter. Or anyone, I am not a rapist.
“What are you going to do with me then?” Martin wanted to know.
David then gagged Martin and reached into his pocket and pulled out his razor knife.
“Martin have you ever eaten a heart before?’ David asked.
Martin’s eyes were now as big as a silver dollar. David could see the fear in the little boy’s eyes. He was feeding on that fear. He was drawing in that fear and allowing it to flow to the deepest parts of his soul.
As a young boy David his self had known that fear. Only Julie’s dad had kept him locked away for two years training him and using him. He didn’t have that long to train this little boy.
“I was going to eat your little girl friends heart Martin. But I hate to do that. I have her sold for ten grand.” David cut a small line down Martin chest.
“But you see I have never tasted the heart of a kid before. I want to see what it tastes like?” There was blood running down Martins chest as David started cutting the second time, only deeper this time.
“Think about it this way. By giving me your heart, you are allowing little Tasha to keep hers.” He laughed.
“And by allowing her, to keep her heart, then she will be able to give it to her new owner when I sell her.”
Martin wanted to cry out but the gag was too tight.
Martin looked over toward where Carl lay. Carl’s eyes were open. The last thing Martin saw was what he knew was impossible. Martin thought he saw Carl’s eyes blinked.
