The bass beat was almost a physical sensation as the dancer strutted and pranced up and down the runway. With a quick step towards the main stage, she spun herself around a brass pole, her blond hair flowing in the air behind her.
After the spin, she peeled off the tight, half-bra exposing her full round breasts. Pasties capped her mounds, in keeping with the license the club had.
The audience was small. Very small. Only one woman, two men, and a movie camera.
By the time the music stopped and the stage lights went out, she was down to the afore-mentioned pasties and garter with only a small, sequined g-string covering her crotch, leaving her shapely ass bare, for all practical purposes. The trio clapped appreciatively.
The dancer knew it wasn't over. Susi came out and began to dance with her as the lights slowly came up. Soon, the pasties and the g-string were gone and both women were dancing naked.
As the other girl's hand slid between her legs and into her, Roberta Lincoln shook her head, wondering how she let her boss talk her into this particular assignment...
* * * * * *
"Miss Lincoln, I have a special assignment for you," Gary Seven said. He was seated behind the obsidian-topped desk in the New York office of the Aegis Corporation. In his arms, a black cat with a diamond-studded collar purred under his stroking fingers.
"Sure boss, what is it?" Roberta asked.
"Certain reports have come to my attention of a possible blackmail operation in Los Angeles," the forty-ish man replied.
"Blackmail? Isn't that something for Joe Friday or the
Adam-12
guys?"
"Please, Miss Lincoln. This ring coerces sons and daughters of prominent industrial and political leaders and uses the resulting images to blackmail the parents," Seven explained. "The parents then succumb to the wishes of the blackmailers to institute research, equipment sales, or even changes in law to keep their children's secrets," Seven explained.
"Still, why not the cops or the Feds? Isn't this what J. Edgar has his G-men for?" Roberta asked.
"One of my...contacts in your government has expressed an interest in keeping this low-key. And, given the nature of what I have since uncovered, I have to agree."
"Okay. Then why me?"
"Because, Miss Lincoln, I have another matter that desperately needs my attention. And," Seven paused dramatically. A bit too dramatically as far as Roberta was concerned. "You have proven yourself over the past thirty-two months as being very capable. I believe you and Isis are imminently qualified to take care of this situation."
Roberta Lincoln had matured quite a bit in the two and a half years since she came to know Gary Seven. Constant exposure to alien conspiracies, secret scientific organizations out to take over the world, and the usual collection of solo mad scientists and whacko assassins take a toll on youthful innocence.
Before that day in 1968 when she came in for her first day on a secretarial job, Roberta had been a typical twenty-year old girl with liberal, almost counter-cultural views and a natural distrust of government as well as anyone over thirty. Her friends were still amazed she had taken such a 'straight' job for a Suit.
The Suit was Gary Seven, Supervisor 194, and he was as human as Roberta or any of the millions walking the streets of New York at that moment, except for the fact that he had been raised on another world, a colony light years away, and trained to work behind the scenes to affect change, for the better, on Earth. And hopefully to help the human race survive the turbulence of the latter half of the 20th Century.
He initially came to inspect the work of two operatives whose job was to strategically sabotage a United States rocket that was to launch an orbital nuclear platform over the Eurasian continent. When he discovered those operatives had died in an automobile accident, he found he had to take direct action, something he hadn't expected to do.
What he also hadn't expected was the presence of a starship from the future or the arrival of an apparently flighty secretary.
That secretary had proven to be an invaluable ally in his mission. With Isis, the black cat, they were a formidable undercover force for protecting the people of Earth from themselves and others.
"What?!? I have to work with that stubborn, pompous..."
"Miss Lincoln, please. Isis has feelings too. Her race is a bit snobbish." The cat in his arms growled quietly and Seven said, "Don't deny it, Isis."
Returning his attention to his other agent, he continued, "She has proven quite valuable dozens of times in just the past two years. As I recall, she even saved your life on that supposedly haunted cruise ship."
"Yeah, well I did see..." Roberta scowled at the cat. "Anyway, who's in charge? Me or the fleabag?"
"Neither. You will be partners."
"Partners, huh? Hear that, Pussy Cat? You're not in charge."
"Neither are you, Miss Lincoln."
"Okay, okay. So, what do you want me to do?"

In less than a day, Roberta Lincoln was Bobbi Lansing, the daughter of a prominent New England congressman who sat on the foreign affairs committee. She was a newly arrived junior at USC and, with her pet cat Isis, was sharing an apartment with Susi Watkins. Susi was the daughter of another prominent politician in Nixon's White House.
Susi was a cute girl from the Midwest. With her shoulder length brown hair and her button nose, she could be a Hollywood version of the girl next door. While not quite as innocent as she seemed, the girl still was discreet and choosy in her sex life. Her current boyfriend was only the second man she had ever slept with.
And she had confided to her new friend Bobbi one night that she never 'put it in my mouth'. That was too much for the eighteen-year old. But Susi did know how to enjoy herself.
In the first three weeks, Roberta and Susi had gone to dorm and frat parties, joined a sit-in outside an Army recruiting office, and even attended classes. Roberta had drunk more beer and wine in that time than she had in the previous six months, not to mention all the pot she'd smoked. But, so far, she had seen no evidence of any blackmailers.
"Well, then again, what are they gonna look like?" she asked rhetorically. She was alone in the apartment. Except for Isis.
"Mrr-oow?"
Roberta looked at the black cat sitting on the coffee table, grooming itself next to a cracked bong left behind by one of their neighbors. "Was I talking to you?"
Isis looked at her blankly.
"Okay, okay. I just want something to happen soon. This is not what I signed up for," the blonde complained. "And where the hell is Mr. Seven?"
"Mee-rooo," Isis said, a human-like moan plainly audible.
This biped wasn't that dense,
