The disposable phone that Oren's assistant's secretary purchased at the Walmart in Paramus buzzed quietly in the top drawer of his massive mahogany desk. He wanted to make it as difficult as possible for the phone to be traced to him; it's not that he was paranoid, but he was careful -- especially with the SEC in everybody's business and trying to make names for themselves. Oren did not want to be some schmuck government attorney's headline. He wasn't necessarily their target, but there was a target on the back of Wall Street billionaires --
the jealous douche bags,
thought Oren.
Only one person had this particular phone number so he knew that it was Jenny calling. "I've only got a few minutes, what's up?"
"A situation has developed that I need to discuss with you," said Jenny nervously. She hadn't seen Ian all week long, but had nevertheless been keeping up on his investigation.
"I don't have time now... Meet me at 10 o'clock tonight at that bar on West 13th Street, over in the Meatpacking District; you know that place where we met those college girls."
Jenny knew exactly where Oren meant; it had been a crazy night last September. Oren and Jenny have never been intimate,
thankfully
, thought Jenny. But he didn't mind watching -- it was a little weird but everyone has their peculiarities, or so Jenny reasoned; it was just harmless voyeurism. Even billionaires are entitled to sexual fetishes -- some enjoyed women's shoes, others got off on leather and whips; Oren enjoyed watching lesbian intimacy, especially if he were the one dictating the fantasy.
"Oh, and bring that cute little intern
and
some toys," commanded Oren.
Jenny smiled to herself; no matter how rich and powerful, they all had a weakness, and for many, the power of the pussy was undeniable. "Such a lovely girl, so sweet and innocent, and so damn adorable," she teased. "She would love to come, and come..." she giggled.
"See you then," he cracked a smile and disconnected the call.
By 10 o'clock, the bar was hopping -- the beautiful people were squeezed together, laughing, smiling, flirting and fighting for the bartender's attention; drunken loudness competed with the DJ. Jenny and Sydney strutted in and heads turned, and they loved the attention -- Jenny was dressed in blue jeans and a tight purple tank top; she wore a sheer bra but it didn't control the bounciness. Sydney's short tight ruffled skirt accentuated her slender legs and sexy ass, her black satin corset barely covered her perky little tits, and her black strappy platform heels made her look four inches taller than she actually was. Jenny's arm was draped over Sydney shoulder and Sydney's arm was wrapped around Jenny's waist. They found a quiet spot at the far end of the bar and ordered dirty martinis.
"There's Oren now; as soon as he gets here I need you to go to the girl's room and take off your panties; then wait for me to motion you to come back. Before the fun begins, I have important business to discuss; it will take us about fifteen minutes." She slapped Sydney's ass and sent her scurrying and then hugged Oren when he reached her, not like a business associate, but like the slut she was about to be. She knew Oren love the game of cat and mouse, the game of predatory lesbian and sweet innocent girl, the game of love and lust -- the game that Jenny
loved
because it was the game she always won.
Oren sat on the barstool, focused not on what would happen later, but on the important reason for their meeting: what the SEC knew about his involvement in the flash crash. Oren Ferber had Bill Clinton like compartmentalization skills -- the president of the United States effortlessly discussed important matters of state and national security while simultaneously twirling a cigar in his intern's coochie
and
then smoking it. Multitasking: it's an important skill to have whether you're running the most powerful country in the world, managing billions of dollars in investments, or simply trying to get laid.
"What's the update?" asked Oren impatiently.
"Well, as you know, I've been reading every email that Ian McRae sends and receives. We still haven't been able to hack into the SEC server and gain access to his official files, but he often sends himself emails with drafts of documents that he's working on, and he documents everything with emails to and from colleagues."
Oren nodded and said, "Good work; when will you have access to the SEC server?"
"That's proving to be problematic, but I've been able to glean significant insight on the investigation simply by reading emails. Our technology sleuth, William, is still working on hacking into the government website."
"What do they know?"
"One of their analysts, Max Feyman, a genius particle physicist, was able to analyze the entire trading day with some quantitative finance tricks I have never seen." Jenny raised her eyebrows and continued, "He is one hundred percent confident a particular trading account knew in advance of a Midwestern mutual fund company's significant futures market trade and how it would create an enormous dislocation, a trade so large that other firms would be caught flat-footed. By decomposing and reassembling the trading day, he knows what happened, and he calculated," she made the air quote sign, "the
illegal profit
to be $152,013,957."
"I'm impressed," said Oren with a smirk. "Why isn't this guy working for me?"
Jenny continued concernedly, "He knows what happened, but he hasn't a clue about the perpetrators. Fortunately, brokerage firms do not report the identity of the
trade originator
."
"Two things," started Oren calmly, "I knew that eventually someone at the SEC would be able to figure out what happened, but they'd never be able to figure out who did it. I've been exploiting that regulatory loophole for quite a while. Brokerage firms have always argued for protecting their customers' identities and allowing for anonymity." He scanned the room and spotted Sydney dancing sensually and staring directly at them. He smiled at her and she waved tentatively. "Secondly, there's no way they'll be able to prove that what we did was illegal, no way..."
"That's a relief," said Jenny. "But I also know that the lead investigator, Ian, and the psychologist profiler, Candice Alexander, are going to Kansas City next week. I have a copy of his itinerary. In an email to his boss, he indicates that in addition to arranging to speak with the compliance department, he has asked for an interview with the manager of the trading floor."
"That's okay; I'll cut the guys balls off if he reveals that he spoke with me. He'll keep quiet, I'm sure about that," said Oren deviously. "What's the dirt on the attorney, McRae? I know that by now you have him cornered." He winked and smiled.
"Soon there'll be fifty thousand dollars in a bank account in his name and a trail that leads to the Cayman Islands." It was now Jenny that smiled deviously, "And I also made a video of him getting a blow job from and fucking my little pet, Sydney. I drugged him with Rophenol, a ten times more powerful version of Valium. He was wicked strung out and doesn't know what happened, not a clue."
Oren patted Jenny on the shoulder and rubbed her back -- his strong hands affectionately kneaded her neck and traced up and down her spine, not with intimacy, but with parental approval. "Good girl," he said condescendingly.
Jenny didn't take offense by his patronizing comment; she had never been offended by his constant affirmation of superiority, but plenty of others were.
"Keep it in your pocket for now," smiled Oren ironically. "If he gets too close, we'll ambush him. Remember that analyst from Janssen and Fiske?"
"I recently ran into Philip Clarke; he still thinks he lost his job because of cutbacks related to the financial crisis." She laughed wickedly,
