Part 12 - "On The Way" LATE IN 1997
Sophia and I were on our way down in the long drop ride of an elevator from her attorney's office. We were making no stops, and so she took advantage of the temporary privacy to move closer to me and whisper a reminder of her eagerness to learn more of my friend Dean's story. The paperwork to create a foundation to back my research into the paranormal had taken some convoluted twists, and it had been quite a while since I had last talked with my lover and advisor about the ex-agent's experiences in Denver.
Silently, I nodded my agreement with her.
"Let's head over to the Wynkoop and try the seasonal," I suggested. "It's noisy enough there, that we can talk." We had not been to the brewpub in a while, and Sophia accepted readily. Since we went directly from the lawyer's office, we were there before the rush, and soon we were snug in a booth. I resumed the story after the beer appeared.
-------------------------------------------------
BEFORE THE 1997 SUMMIT
Dean was on an airplane headed to Denver once again. This time, he told himself, the preparations had been made, and it was time for the big show-- the Summit Conference. He found himself wondering what all the preparations had been.
Once again, Dean mentally divided up what he knew into 3x5 cards. Then, he divided up what he knew he did not know on additional mental cards. Once again, he would be meeting Michelle. They were both just to be back up for the professional security people, trolling around the edges of the event, looking for problems. Of course, the FBI guys had told his boss that if anything did turn up that way, that Dean could just let them know, and they would step in.
In other words, Dean told himself, they were just tolerating him and his agency. Humor us, he thought, and keep us out of the picture. Grade crossing patrols could handle what he was doing.
Michelle, too, was officially expected to work on a tangential security project supporting the Summit. The French government had lots of important security people there, and they were working with the important security people from the U.S. In turn, they were working with the important security people from Denver.
On his mental index cards, Dean reviewed his resource people for this assignment. He would be working with the unimportant people: Val and Deborah at the B&B might be able to help; Tony, the young man who I had introduced Dean to and his girlfriend from the park, maybe. I was not available then. He could count on Michelle, but what if she was ordered elsewhere? He was heading into unknown problems, without much help.
He knew that Michelle and he would be assigned to be in the same places as each other twice: on the First Ladies' trip into the Rockies on the Ski Train, and on the First Ladies' breakfast at the Oxford Hotel. This had sounded sooo social that certain other government agencies had turned up their noses at the assignments, booking junior staff if they had to, or passing it up altogether if they could get away with it.
He also knew from an unlikely source that there might be more to these media events than it seemed. Rose, from Accounting, had tipped him to the fact that there was an extra car being added to the train that would be set up for a meeting. And during the First Ladies' breakfast, there was an extra meeting room booked upstairs in the Oxford. Rose knew that because she had been asked to clear these expenses. And she told Dean that because, well, perhaps because her clit was still tingling from the joy of capturing the retired agent's... attention. No, Dean corrected himself, Rose would not have done that. She had told him because she wanted him to know what was going on, she wanted him to watch what he got into. Uh oh, Dean mused, she cares about me.
His wife, on the other hand, had dismissed him during his return home with little curiosity. She had other interests. He mentally flipped that card over.
What about the Lepenistes? He had figured out that they were up to more than trying to stop Michelle from setting up a link with his agency against their penetration of her bureau. He knew pieces of their activities, and his chance encounter with the entranced Maria had opened his eyes to more of what they were doing out in California. None of that fit together, though. Too many cards lay face down on the imaginary table.
Dean let his mind float away from the immediate problem. His seat mates were two bubbly young Asian women, students on their way to get established for university classes in Denver. They had barely noticed him, being caught up in their own conversation-- and giggles. They reminded him of an incident years ago, and as he was dead-ended with the mental files, he continued free-associating, finding that to be relaxing. What were their names? The names in his recollection, not the names of the two students beside him; he fished around for them.
Atka. Atka! That was the name of the one with the bright imagination. She was the plainer of the two, physically, but he had quickly spotted her as the sharper of the pair of Mongolian students he had met in Moscow. He could not think of her friend's name, although he could visualize her cute smile and curvy figure.... and the rosy spread of the blush from her cheeks. Atka's friend was used to being the center of attention without much effort.

MOSCOW IN THE EARLY 1980's
They were in the library when he met them together. He had seen Atka's friend before, as she worked there, and had enjoyed chatting with her. It was clear that she was used to having men want to talk with her, she just expected that. She was studying foreign languages at the university, and he was easily able to rationalize that his bosses would approve of him getting acquainted with her. Of course, he knew that it was a rationalization, but, on the other hand, in his world, any contact might pay off in the future.
That night, Atka had stopped by to chat. Her friend had introduced her to Dean. He had barely noticed her standing there at first, poised, but not obviously attractive the way that the woman behind the counter was. Then Dean noticed Atka's eyes. Intense, flashing almost, they drew his attention from where it had rested on her friend's shapely rear.
"I didn't want to study, so I came down here!" she candidly answered when Dean asked whether she was working in the library also. It turned out that the two Mongolians were roommates, and that Atka did work in the library, too. This was not her shift, though, just a little break from her demanding Chemistry studies.
He could feel that the pair were intrigued by him, and he found that they were amused by his struggles with Russian. Atka suggested that if he found Russian difficult, he should try Mongolian! Her spirit appealed to Dean, and as he would be back to the library many times in his current "diplomatic" assignment, it seemed like a real opportunity to expand his knowledge. "Who knows? - Chto znaet?" as the Russians would say, he told himself, he might be able to use a snatch of that language in some future work. He turned so that he would face the two women head on.
"That seems like an opportunity for you two and for me, too. Your English is better than most Americans', but everyone could use some touch-ups. But I don't know how you could teach me much Mongolian. Do you have a suggestion?" He paced the plain, honest words with their breathing, thankful that his experience at the School for Sexual Expression allowed him to calmly watch their breasts rise and fall without getting an instant hard-on. In turn, they could feel comfortable with him, breathing subconsciously with him, relaxed even. Their faces flushed with warm excitement, although, of course, they were not thinking consciously of sex, but of education. Hopefully, according to Dean, their subconscious was taking their natural needs and enhancing his message.
"Perhaps one of you has a good idea... something fun" he began slowly, and enjoyed the sudden, darting sideways glances as each checked to see what the other was up to. Of course, each saw that on the surface the other was drifting into a pleasing state of euphoria, and that was so reassuring to their thoughts. Dean saw them relax further. In their subconscious minds, though, ancient images took focus, rivalries, needs, awareness that this powerful, confident male would naturally have his choice of women, and beneath that understanding, the urge each had to validate her own femininity, to be chosen as the dominant female. Dean watched as the conversation floated forward, and felt for the undercurrents carrying them all along.
Atka's tongue darted over her lips as she rose to the challenge with words, as her friend drifted helplessly, wordlessly-- used to having her beauty as her trump card.
"Why don't we set up a regular meeting in our apartment? We'll both be there, so it will be permissible. We can teach you many things."
