Hi thanks for checking this story out. If you've been following it already this is a quick run into Chapter 05, 04 was getting too long so I chopped it up and managed to get the last bits added to round it off.
As always I'm a Brit, so the language is English, English so to speak bar any dodgy spellings that may have slid past my checker. Plus I have a knack of making minor alterations, my bad.
This is where we start to drift away from "real life" a bit in my eyes and it takes on a bit of a James Bond/Jason Bourne series feel in parts. By the next part it'll settle back into something a little more believable. It is fiction after all! There is some sex but it's a minor part of this leg. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy the writing.

<<<<Action, Reaction and Consequences Part V>>>>
Time continued to roll on and with well over a year passing since the incident that almost crushed their marriage the layers of time had smoothed over the hurt so it wasn't visible any more. But it could still rear its head unexpectedly.
One day Graham pulled Tanya into his office.
"I thought I'd let you know that Jerod was found dead a couple of months ago, apparently his body had enough heroin floating around it to supply a small town. Coroner said it was odd because there were no obvious signs of being a habitual user. But something else came to light recently when someone came forward with some Ring doorbell footage. Here, have a look."
It was a short clip. Two men can be seen leaving Jerod's flat with a case and a rucksack. Whilst their faces were obscured it was two men known as Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones to Graham and Tanya.
"With some digging through Jerod's ISP records along with some of the details regarding his investigation prior to dismissal it looks as if he was trying to sell the collection of video clips he stole on the dark web, these videos likely included the one of you too. His laptop hard drive, and any other electronic storage devices were somewhat lacking in his apartment."
"On that note Tan, with all the stuff that kicked off with Matt that day you never mentioned why they wanted to talk to you? Was it anything worth discussing? If they offered you something I hope you graciously declined."
Tanya said it was a general chat about career progression but Graham knew they wouldn't skulk out of London for something that could be done over Teams with ease. If, and when, something happened, he would try his best to intervene.
Tanya went back to her office and found an entry for 'Jools' in her phone. She sent a message.
'Did uc one of my x colleagues by any chance?'
Within minutes, a response.
'Tanya please, use the King's English it's the correct way to communicate. As to your ex-colleague we may have had a chat with him about some high-quality home movies he wanted to sell to the highest bidder. Now, we don't want our rising star being tainted before she's top of the tree do we? Let's just say he was ecstatic with our offer, put him on a real high.'
Fuck! thought Tanya. Had they killed him to protect her? That's what the cryptic message sounded like. It had all been forgotten in the incident with Matt at the social club, but not by Tanya. Mr. Smith had asked if she wanted to be part of the United Kingdom's elite undercover operatives, even the chance to become top dog. He had the power and said the opportunity was coming and when it did, it would be quick and she must grab it firmly with both hands because it would be a one chance offer.
Of course, she wanted this opportunity, he was relying on it. He already knew that from their profiling of her as to how to ensure she would be pliable to his needs which were the Country's needs. He asked her to be patient, the time would come, but most of all say nothing about the conversation or communication between them. And that included with her husband.
Where time rolled around Matt's twenty-fifth birthday loomed. Just before that happened Tanya received criminal compensation for the crimes committed against her. She knew just the special present to buy him.
They'd previously popped into Bournemouth Kawasaki to look at the latest models. They were both struck by the H2SX SE. A supercharged hyperbole of a motorcycle that can munch effortlessly across countries in comfort like a growing teenager through breakfast cereal. It wasn't cheap and Matt baulked at the cost of it despite Tanya telling him it was perfect.
She kept it quiet and used the compensation she received as a victim of crime to buy it. There was also enough to book a decent apartment for a few days around Saint Tropez in the South of France. Once revealed the pair of them could plan the route down together.
On his birthday she arranged for the Kawasaki to be delivered to their designated parking spot in the sub ground car park at a certain time. During that time, they were out shopping and Matt was royally pissed on their return to find it in their parking space.
He asked Tanya to use her Police access to the DVLA to trace the owner. Five minutes later her phone pinged with the details.
"Sorry Catch, I think we've a problem. I know the owner and lives in our block. All I can say is he's a stubborn bastard and he won't shift it willingly."
That wound Matt up no end.
"Who the hell's this cheeky fucker then?"
She passed him her phone.
He stood confused; the owner was listed as him. He looked at the bike noting it was literally brand new. Tanya put her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. Stepping back she asked him to undo the buttons on her blouse, promising it was worth it. Looking around to see they were alone he started to undo the buttons until he could see her bra. There, nestled between the fabric and her soft flesh, was a key wedged in her bra. A Kawasaki key.
He stood speechless; this had come completely out of the blue. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as they kissed. It was a deep meaningful kiss of a couple in love.
"Do you want to go for a ride lover?" she said in a coy voice.
"Oh fuck yes, but let's have the first ride in the bedroom Tan before we go out."
Matt almost dragged Tanya to the bedroom, ripped the blouse apart as she wiggled her hips to let the short skirt drop to the floor. She jumped up with her arms around his neck, legs around his torso.
He had undone his jeans enough to free his cock and Tanya's body dropped until she felt him nudge her sex. As Matt held her one hand dropped to pull her knickers aside as she used a hand to line him up with her opening. She let her body slide down as his hands grabbed her arse cheeks and her arms locked firmly around his neck.
His cock slid through the slickness as she bottomed out on him. Using his hands, he helped bounce her up and down at a swift pace, the squelchy sound of raw intercourse almost in harmony with the gum bumping frenzied kissing. As Matt's legs began to shake with strain Tanya bucked hard as she came violently. Matt couldn't maintain the posture dropping her on the bed.
He clamoured on top of her, her pussy red and puffy before lining himself up to recommence the fucking. His behaviour was primal. He thrust hard into the wet hole, hammering in and out, looking down at his wife who could only make a 'ugh, ugh, ugh' sound. Within minutes he gritted his teeth emitting a grunt as he spewed a liquid torrent of white stickiness that foamed around her opening as he kept pumping beyond the point he had ended ejaculating until he was completely spent. He barely had enough energy to roll off and lay on his back next to Tanya.
Their coupling had lasted a mere fifteen minutes but the emotion wad drawn from the most base human collection of emotions, it was a commitment of love and lust like they'd never shown to each other. They were so drained they fell asleep for over an hour.
Once up, showered and in riding gear they spent a good part of the afternoon on the new Kawasaki. Matt revelled in the performance and jump in level of technology over his Yamaha R1. Tanya felt it was simply an opulent experience having only ever being perched up high on the tiny seat of the R1. Matt was going to love the next part of the gift.
That evening was somewhat predictable with a meal at their favourite restaurant. In Matt's birthday card was the LeShuttle crossing tickets for them and the bike to France plus the three-day air B&B reservation in Saint Tropez. She had already arranged for both their two weeks holidays from work. They just needed to plan the route and places in between as they weaved down to Southern France. To say Matt was overjoyed at this once-in-a-lifetime holiday would be an understatement.
Three months later they were underway. They brought new motorcycle leathers and crash helmets fitted with the latest integral Bluetooth systems allowing them to talk or use their smartphones which would enhance this shared experience.
They travelled the boring network of English motorways that weave busily through Southern England to the LeShuttle terminal at Folkestone. Less than two hours later were winding down some magnificent roads in France as they headed for their first stop.
On the third night they stayed at Vichy with a plan of cutting across to Switzerland and Geneva for the next day. About an hour into the journey Matt's headset beeped signifying that Tanya was now in a call on her phone. After over thirty minutes she suddenly spoke.
'Sorry about that Catch, work needed some urgent info. Look, I'm not feeling too good can we change the plan and head to Lyon instead of Geneva to stay overnight?"
"For God's sake Tan, can't they leave you alone in peace for two weeks? They know we're away. Didn't realise you don't feel so good, sure, can find somewhere to stay then ping me the address for the sat nav."
Matt was surprised at the speed she messaged him - in less than a couple of minutes his phone pinged announcing the address which they soon rerouted for. Matt was gobsmacked by the hotel when he arrived. The concierge gave him a puzzled look when he pulled up on a motorcycle outside a very five-star hotel.
"You sure this is right Tan? Seems a bit OTT for us to me."
"I just used one of the first I came across, honestly it wasn't expensive."
Directed to a parking bay they unclipped the luggage cases, checked in to find a large suite as against a typical room they'd stay in. It didn't feel quite right to Matt.
How you feeling Tan, must admit you don't look too bright, what was the call about?"
"It was nothing Catch."
"That's funny. Work calls you when they know we are travelling abroad on holiday and you are on the phone to them for thirty-odd minutes. How you can talk about nothing for that amount of time Tan.? We've been here before so please. be honest with me. I know you well enough to know when somethings amiss."
Tan walked to the window, her back to Matt.
"I need to go back to work."
"So do I Tan, but that's almost two weeks away yet. Be more specific, like
when
do you need to go back to work?"
