The phone ringing woke me up. Cindy was snuggled up to me, with her head on my chest and arms draped around me. I was surprised to see my cock hard, maybe it was the residual of the pill I took last night or maybe I just needed to use the bathroom. Sliding out from under Cindy I grabbed the phone, standing naked in the sitting room with a hardon.
"What is it?"
It was Glen calling. I assumed it was very early in the morning because I felt exhausted, but looking around for a clock I discovered it was late in the morning.
"Sorry to bother you, sir, but we may have a complication," Glen answered.
"May have? What do you mean?"
"It's the chip's power source, the batteries that were supposed to last years... well.... It appears prolonged use, with the chip active constantly, drains them much quicker than we first thought. Another issue is the more intelligent the mind the higher the power loss. Even though you've only had the chips a few days, your wife's chip or yours could cease functioning without warning."
"That's a big complication, Glen. What do we do to fix it?"
"We are working on it. Just to let you know it's not our fault, we purchased the batteries from a separate entity. Their guarantee, they would last, was inaccurate at best. We are contacting them on the problem. But as of right now the only thing we can do is remove the chip, change the power source and re-implant it. They are supposedly sending us replacements that will last."
"Okay, fine, come by the house and replace our batteries."
"It's not that simple. Implanting them can be done off site but removal has to be done here at the lab. You do remember reading that, right?"
"Yes, yes, I do. Okay, Cindy and I will come tonight, after everyone else is gone and you can do the procedure."
"Very good, sir. In the mean time I suggest only using the chips if you have too. You don't want the power running out during something you can't explain away, if you know what I mean?"
"Yes, I do. Just be ready for us tonight, I'll worry about Cindy."
With that I hung up and looked down at my naked wife. Her chip had been active for a long time now. I should have turned it off when she fell asleep but I didn't know this power thing was a problem until now. I had to act fast. She needed to shower, wash off all the cum on her body and get into her nightgown and in our bed before I could turn the chip off. I wondered if the chip had that much power left. With no other options I woke her up, happy to see the chip was still working.
Quickly, I want you to shower, dry your hair, dress for bed and fall asleep in our room.
The instructions were clear but she didn't jump immediately to obey them. It took a few seconds, during which she had an odd expression on her face. I knew I didn't have much time at all. I needed to implant in her head a normal dinner with Becca and Randy instead of what really happened. I needed to inform her that Becca was taking the day off, and also that she needed to come to the office with me this evening incase the battery went dead. All of this before the chip completely died. I was worried I wouldn't have enough time.
I followed her up to our room, making sure she was following orders. She paused every few feet, almost like she couldn't remember what she was supposed to do. It was only a matter of time before the chip turned off. I didn't have time to have her shower, dry and get into bed so I improvised and convinced her she was in the shower the next morning after the dinner with Becca who was taking the day off. The chip went dead just as the last command left my head.
I got dressed quickly, hurrying down stairs where I would normally be at this time in the morning. As I was walking down the stairs I remembered I forgot to tell her we needed to go to my work tonight. Shit! How was I going to convince her now?
About a half hour later she came downstairs and found me in my den. I was trying to think of a way to get her to my office tonight without sounding suspicious. So far nothing came to mind.
"Hey, Trent, do you remember what Becca said last night at dinner. Why she needed today off? I can't for the life of me remember."
"Umm, I think she just needed to get some things done on her own."
"Well, she can do that on her normal days off. I need her today. I'm going to call her."
"No!" I said, jumping up from my seat.
"What? What's with you?" she asked.
I had to think fast. I couldn't have her calling Becca without her chip active. The crazy things we did last night would surface and ruin everything.
"Okay listen, you can't call her because... You see, she's planning something special for you... that I asked her to do. She just told you she needs the day off so she could get it all done. She's actually working, but for me."
"But she's my assistant. Why would you need her to work for you?"
"Umm... because she knows you well, what you like and don't like so I thought I would use her to make everything perfect. Now if you keep asking questions or call her you'll ruin the surprise."
"The surprise? Really, you're planning a surprise for me? You expect me to believe this?"
"Yes."
"Are you fucking her, Trent? Are you having an affair with my personal assistant?"
"What! No way, she's like half my age. Why would you think that?"
"Why? I know you... you're like a sex crazed teenager but with lots of money. This story doesn't jive. It sounds like a front for a get together."
"I assure you it's not. If you don't believe me you can accompany me everywhere I go today. Even to my office."
"I might just do that," she said turning around to leave.
Damn those fucking batteries! Now I had to come up with a surprise party for her or did I? If I could get the batteries changed I could just make her think she had a surprise party. And if she follows me around today that could get her to my office this evening. This just might work out after all.
*****
She left me pretty much alone all afternoon, occasionally checking that I was still in the house and not off fucking Becca. About six P.M. I found her, snacking on grapes in the kitchen.
"Hey, I'm going into the office now, did you want to come along to make sure I do just that," I said a bit spitefully to make her want to go even more.
"I certainly do. For some reason I don't feel like I can trust you right now. It's just the way you've been acting lately."
"Great, you can't trust me. Well, fine then let's go, you'll see the truth soon enough."
We drove in silence to the office. I checked my emails while she sat in my office watching me. I emailed Glen, telling him we were here and that she would need to be drugged again somehow because the chip was completely out of power. He responded by telling me to just get her to the lab and he'd take care of the rest.
"Looks like I'm needed in one of my labs. You coming or are you going to stay here?" I asked her.
"I'll go with you, it's better than just sitting around here."
As soon as we entered the lab I saw Glen across the large room. He waved me over and Cindy followed. Suddenly I heard a muffled scream, and struggling behind me. Turning around one of my lab assistants had my wife's arms behind her back, with a white cloth over her face. She soon succumbed to the drug, falling limp in his arms. He swept her up, carrying her toward a gurney where he laid her down. He was a large kid, not the average lab geek at all.
"What's going on, Glen? I though I told you not to tell anyone else."
"I can't do this alone. Extraction is much trickier than implanting the chips."
Two more male assistants soon appeared, turning on equipment and hooking my wife up to an IV drip to keep her out.
"So you all know? What do they want to keep quiet?" I asked suspiciously.
"Well since you brought it up, I guess we can discuss that."
