BLOW YOUR MIND PART XVII
Hi all! Here is the next installment. I'm working through some parts to get to the ending, but we are on the way. I hope you enjoy it!
The alarm sounded way too early, but Brandi was pleased to be awakened to Cindy mincing in with a full breakfast on a tray.
"Good morning, Ms. Brandi."
"Morning Cindy. Is my sister up?"
"Annie is taking care of her. Your condo will require a thorough cleaning today. May I recommend you work out of the office today? Some of the stains will require a lot of work."
Brandi snickered a bit at that and then said, "I'll see, prepare my bath."
Brandi ate and then cleaned up. She headed out to see Kandi coming out of her room.
"I really do need to get my own place. That bathroom just isn't doing it." Kandi said.
"Yeah. The only issue is nothing is available here for a while. Hm, let's check out the listings later today and see what we can find."
Brandi and Kandi went into her office and sat down. "Well, Mr. Case said our slack time was ending today. I wonder what he has in mind for us?" Kandi said.
"I don't know. I don't think he's looking to do anything crazy, but man, with him that is hard to say."
Then the work phone rang. Brandi picked it up.
"Good morning, I see you two had a nice time at the club." Mr. Case said.
"Good morning boss. Yes, we did. Spying on us?" Brandi said with a touch of humor.
"No, but you were both on the cover for the local club magazine this morning. You look very beautiful, I must say. And you look exactly like an up-and-coming VP should look with a rich boyfriend."
Brandi understood the comment and nodded. Kandi smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"Well, thank you boss. It was a fun time, exactly what we both needed in many ways."
"I understand, sometimes work can be unpleasant. That being said, we have some work to discuss. I'm out and about so how about lunch? Parisan's Café? At noon?"
Brandi knew the code meaning "One hour, Lucy's Diner" and nodded. "Sure thing boss, we have some paperwork to finish here anyway so later today works fine."
"Excellent, see you at noon."
Brandi nodded to Kandi, and they got up and got dressed. They made sure to do their hair differently and didn't do any makeup. They dressed down as much as they could, but Brandi noted that they still were noticeable.
They headed out to her "Business" car, a regular old Lexus, something a young corporate climber would drive and headed out. Kandi was looking in the makeup mirror and frowning.
Brandi nodded at her. "Yeah, we still stick out. Our recent experiences have made our default setting a bit much. Even dressing down we stand out."
"Yes. This could make things tough. At least around here." Kandi got a thoughtful look on her face and then snapped her fingers. "Hang on." She pulled out a very small vial and tapped a small amount of white powder onto the back of her hand. She snorted it up and blinked a couple of times. Then she took a breath and focused.
Brandi was glad the windows were tinted as they were in some traffic. Kandi's hair turned from golden blonde to light brown, her tan darkened a bit and her body changed shape slightly. Her lips lost some pout, and her facial structure changed up a bit. She was now just pretty, but not the knockout she had been.
"We need to use our brains more Brandi. That little hit of coke was so small it was barely an children's aspirin size. I'm barely buzzed and now no one is going to think I'm me."
Brandi pulled into a parking spot 3 blocks away from the diner and they scanned around. After deciding it was clear, Brandi took a very tiny hit. She could barely feel the rush, but it was enough for her to make some changes. Her hair was now black, she was shorter, had a different body type, and they certainly didn't look like twins.
Brandi got out of the car and tugged on her blouse a bit. "We need to be sure to bring some different sized clothes. These don't fit me so well anymore." she muttered.
"Ug, you're not kidding. Great idea, but bad execution. Alright, let's meet the boss."
They looped the streets making sure they were not tailed and got a booth at the diner. Mr. Case showed up a few minutes later and looked around. After a moment he saw them. He started to look past them but paused and stared at them a bit. He walked over and said, "Pardon me, but have either of you two ever been to Newark?"
Brandi and Kandi smiled and shook their heads. "Jersey City though." Brandi replied.
Mr. Case nodded and sat down once he heard the confirmation. "Excellent disguises, you don't stand out at all. I was wondering if I would have to remind you that your defaults are now becoming rather well known here in Miami."
"We figured. I hope that won't be a problem." Brandi said. She looked at her boss. "We understand how this can affect our job, but after this last job we decided we wanted to enjoy some of the perks. Life can be short, as we know."
Mr. Case returned her look and then did the same to Kandi. "It can be. It can be a lot shorter if you don't make damn sure the people you trust are trustworthy. I think you understand that."
Brandi nodded. "We do. But all of this money and handsome boyfriends aren't worth it if you can't enjoy it a bit. So, we are going to."
Mr. Case nodded. "I can't say as I blame you but do be careful. For all of our sakes. Now, to business."
Mr. Case pulled out two files and gave them to them. "Since you two will of course share details, I'll just brief you both. I have two jobs that need doing, one each. The pay is $5 Million each, with a $1 Million bonus if completed within a week's time, meaning by next Monday."
"Brandi, you are going to Dallas. There is an oil man there with some contracts for some new oil fields. He has a silent partner, the client wants to know who, and copies of their agreements."
