City of Churches -- Pt 03
The continuing story of the OWLS Club.
You don't have to have read the original OWLS Club to appreciate this new storyline.
This is a slow burn, I feel it is important for you to get to know these characters, so in this chapter, you will find a lot of boring day-to-day talking, something we all do with our chosen loved ones. Some may find it too boring and non-essential but, believe me as I tell you, it is important you get attached to them.
It is a mystery, there is murder, some gore and violence and some sex between consenting adults, who happen to be over 18, gay and women. You will notice some old familiar names and many new ones. This chapter will jump around a little bit as it brings 3 different stories together. Enjoy the ride.
A word of warning, the story starts to get a little dark from here on in, so if you are sensitive to such things, 'look away now'.
Cynthia Ambrose smiled as she lay there watching the big bosomed natural blond woman slowly dress, she held her arms out for Myrtle to join her on the bed, Myrtle smiled and lay next to her long-time friend and part-time lover.
Tilley McMahon sat in a chair also watching the two women on the bed, how they fondled each other, innocently but warmly and affectionately. She thought to herself, 'you silly girl Myrtle, you have fallen in love'.
Bianca, the big-bosomed naturally blonde girl finished dressing and stood next to the Matron, she held out her hand, and the older woman kissed it stood up and felt under her dress and she wasn't wearing her underwear. The Matron smiled once more and held out her hand. Bianca handed over her thong to her Mistress.
"Good Girl, now get back to work and send Celina into my office please," The Matron got up and kissed each of the women on the bed and told them to get dressed and her car will take them where they each need to go.
The Matron left her private suite and went directly to her office, she sat down and pressed a button on the corner of her desk which unlocked the door. She went to a cabinet, pulled the second drawer open and hit a trigger that turned off a silent alarm and a small hinged cupboard opened, behind which was hidden her secret safe. She put the code into her phone and the safe opened. She took a file and opened it on her desk, it was marked top secret 'OPERATION FALLING LEAVES'.
There was a knock on the door, The Matron waited deliberately, while she read the opening paragraph.
[The following operation must be concluded no later than 00:01 01/10/23. The Major will operate alone, the contact must be dependable and dispensable.]
"Come in," She said
Celina Baldworst came in and was told to close the door. The Matron got up and closed the blinds on both the window overlooking the parklands and then the internal window looking out at the workroom. In addition the all the glass being bulletproof, the blinds were also reflective so anyone trying to eavesdrop couldn't.
The Matron closed the file on her desk as she instructed the woman to sit down. She then folded her hands on the desk looking into the eyes of the American 'on loan' from the FBI to the AFP. The Matron was uncomfortable with people she hadn't vetted herself. Celina's record was immaculate, as you would expect, but she wasn't mixing with her colleagues as the Matron had hoped.
She smiled at her and told her, "There is an opportunity for some casual field work Celina, are you up for it?"
"Casual field work ma'am," came the reply.
Now the Matron wasn't used to being questioned by subordinates and she thought answering a question with a question shows the person as being uneducated. But she was an American and she was only here on temporary fulfilment. She let the question go and then continued.
"You will be required to meet a contact at a specific time and place, it will be dangerous, and you will be armed. I notice your last session at the range was over a month ago, step it up to weekly and get your average beyond the 98.5 you currently are. Understood?"
She sat there looking into the American's eyes, holding her gaze. A stare-off, of sorts. Celina held her pose and sat there quietly. The two women across a desk, a test of wills, in a strange kind of way. One that the Matron doesn't lose never has and never will. She has a strong personality. Celina blinked and said, "Yes ma'am, I understand,"
"What are you working on at the moment?"
"The Southern Ocean contact ma'am,"
The Matron knew what she was doing and where she was at with it. She felt it important to keep her staff on their toes. "Hand that off with the current data on the Myers girl as well, to your supervisor, this afternoon. Then get some gun practice in,"
"Ma'am, with all due respect, shouldn't this be a volunteer situation?" She asked.
The Matron looked up and told her, "Yes, I suppose it should be, in that case, thank you for volunteering. You are volunteering aren't you?"
The silence between the two, across the desk, was almost auditable.
"Yes ma'am, I am," She answered. Knowing that she couldn't do otherwise without it appearing negatively in her file. She could see it being recorded as thus. 'Given ample opportunity to expand her skills base but lacked the initiative to accept those opportunities'.
The Matron smiled at her, not out of warmth but more in satisfaction. "Good Girl, now off you go now and hand over your current assignment and get that shooting average up to scratch."
