The scene was hotting up and the stakes were getting even higher for the players.
Sue had swapped identities with her sister Pam. Sue was on a path to somewhere unknown, but risky, maybe exciting and undoubtedly dangerous.
Pam wanted Charles and it would be interesting to what lengths she would go to keep him.
Carlo's team was but one of three known suitors for James public company and his team had already collected a great deal of inside information without having to sign any Confidentiality Agreements. That was not the issue, as it was always going to be what does Carlo's team know the others cannot discover that will influence the takeover strategy as well as the bid value and conditions.
With Sean and Munro, together with their team of lesser mortals, spivs, restored crims and computer hackers on the case, the next week was going to be fast and furious.
Charles was potentially going to be pivotal in how this all played out, dependent upon how important his IT people would be able to infiltrate the databases of those suitors and how he would be able to identify the key people in the player groups for particular attention.
James and Marina were far from being angels in this imbroglio, but they signed the cheques for Charles Security Services. They will be playing all ends against the middle and intelligence from Charles and some other consultants they contract will be critical in the success of the bidding war to come.
The share price of James' company on the Nasdaq was $27 overnight, with some buying pressures becoming evident.

Thursday Morning Day Three
Pam was sitting in the coffee shop downtown Houston, with plenty of time because Sue was always late and today was not different. She was staring out the window and pondering what had happened over the last week and how her world had turned on its head from being an unemployed actress with no prospects for work in a cold and wintery Houston into a wife with a lovely house, twin girls and a hardworking husband that was going to take her to a casino across the border into Louisiana to a Casino for a love-in weekend of comfort, luxury and good times.
She thought back about her relationship with her sister Sue who she was now swapping identities and how the last 5 years had changed them so much as people.
Both were so alike physically that few if any would be able to tell them apart. After Pam's husband Joe and son died in a car accident five years ago, the sisters really reclaimed their single period friendship and respect for each other. When Sue felt Pam was on the path to getting over that terrible period in her life she took Pam under her wing and re-introduced her to love of life. The girls boobs had sagged a little after their kids had been born, so a subtle boob job for both on the same day at the same hospital with the same surgeons. They both joined the same gym to tone up their bodies, working out twice a week at the same time and place, producing a return almost to their pre-baby figures. They enjoyed the company of the same girlfriends most of whom they had since college days and they regularly went out for lunches and the occasional girls-night with the same friends. Pam had reclaimed her positive attitude but she still longed for that old fashioned relationship with a husband, close family and monogamy.
What was different became more apparent to Pam, now she had the time to dwell back. Sue had become increasingly restless and seemingly confined in a marriage to a man that had only one real fault; he worked too hard and had crazy hours. She thought about their years together as sisters after college and realised it was always Sue who had pushed, manipulated or cajoled Pam into being more adventurous and wanting to bush the boundaries. Sue was probably going to return to her days when she essentially was a nympho and after all if that is deep in her psyche, it will only be a matter of time before that issue re-visits.
Granted Pam had willingly participated in some of Sue's dalliances, even after Sue and Pam were married, but Pam at heart was not looking for this type of high maintenance lifestyle that Sue apparently was craving. She wanted to settle down, having had enough of the casting couches and creeps in the entertainment industry and their sexual deviances and demands. Harvey was but the tip of a rather large iceberg.
Sue arrived early for her about 30 minutes late, in a rush and seemingly all aglow with an enriched couple of day's experiences.
They kissed as sisters and enjoyed their hug. The coffee was good at Starbucks and it was warm inside welcoming the two to a long chat.
Pam was eager to ensure she caught up on all the twin's issues so she would be organised for Monday when she picked the girls up from their school. While Sue was more interested in talking about her sex life in her new job while keeping as much as she could secret from her sister as to what project she was doing that enthused her so. Sue dominated for the first half an hour and that was noted by Pam as she sought to read her sister and her self-centred current attitude. She was back to her old hyper days of frenetic self-centred activities, men, cock and spending on herself.
Sue: You see in front of you a lady called Pam Johnson. Pam for obvious reasons, Johnson because that was mum's single name. That woman is having so much sex that her pussy is twinging now with absence. His name is Carlo and he has a substantial cock and libido that all your porn stars would envy. I am pushing to keep him satisfied because he wants sex constantly. Yes he has a serious ego problem, but in the sex department he delivers in spades. He loves me in a mask and he constantly talks to me dirty using every word you can imagine to turn me on. As soon as I get back he wants me naked and fucking. I am not allowed to wear underwear inside his hotel and I can only dream of what is going to happen to my body over the next month. Let me tell you what happened to make me late this morning. (As if Pam had any choice other than to listen).
I wake to the smell of fresh coffee and breakfast just delivered by room service to his suite. The smells were inviting and the brain just turned on like a switch went off in my head. My pussy was leaking from last night's activities so a quick trip to the ladies and a grab of a hotel shower coat saw me snuggling up to Carlo shoulders from behind while he working on his laptop. He was pouring over websites and Press Releases and some spreadsheets and seemed to be cross checking some information there on a Valuation Report. He was so intent I just settled myself next to him on a chair and poured my first coffee.
It gave me time to look him over closely in good light. Those steely blue eyes, blond hair and well haired muscled chest, his gym built shoulders and his enormous frame. He was no ordinary guy, maybe even a Greek god style of guy and I was his lover who was going to be paid $100,000 for around one month of work on his project. Like how was I so lucky to get this gig?
