Photographer: Greg and Annie
As Greg drove away from the Blair house he still in shock. He didn't have to worry about explaining the car to his parents because they were spending the summer at a cottage in Canada. He did however have his sister, to deal with since she was home for the summer and pissed that he had taken over her room. Even though the guest room she was occupying was nicer than her old room, it was the principal of the thing.
She was just getting home from a tennis match when he drove up in the new SUV. Her mouth dropped open and she said "Wow, who does this belong to?
"This belongs to me as the new research analyst for Barker and Barker, Attorneys at Law" he said as he gave her one of his new gold embossed business cards.
"Get out, little brother, are you dealing drugs or something? And why are you looking at me that way.
"How would you like to dine in the finest restaurants as my date and sip lemonade at the country club?" It might also involve some travel."
"Now I know you are on drugs!" They walked into the house and into the kitchen to get a drink.
As they sat down at counter, he said, "I need someone to work with me on some undercover work that I have been contracted to do and you would be the perfect person. It has to be someone that I can trust completely."
Annie laughed and said, "So when did you start trusting me?" Her curiosity was definitely up and she asked, "So what is this all about."
There was no way he was going to tell his sister about the sex arrangements, but he did tell her about how Mrs. Blair's husband was cheating on her and that she had contracted with him to get photographs for evidence.
"So what is my part of this process?"
"I need a woman to accompany me to the finest restaurants and to travel with me to Malibu and Tuscany."
"Italy???"
"That is the one. We need to go there to bug the house and observe who he keeps company with that is not a legitimate part of his business activities."
"Little brother, this is sounding better all the time, but I don't have clothes for the finest restaurants."
Pulling the American Express card from his wallet, he said "Money is no object. Are you interested?"
"Interested???" Walking to the other side of the counter she hooked her arm in his and said, "I would love to go on a date with you!" and then she gave him a little kiss on the cheek. "When do we get started?"
"Let me bring Mrs. Blair up to date." He took his new laptop and after getting a secure email setup, he emailed Mrs. Blair to let her know about his choice of Annie. He also suggested that if there was a way to get Annie into the country club for the summer, she could eavesdrop on conversations. It was a good bet that many of the women at the club knew about the situation or women involved. "I hope it ok that I promised her some new clothes for the dining. She is studying theatre as a major and can make herself look like an entirely different person. The women at the Club will never recognize the bouncy tennis player when she is dressed for dinner.
The response email was almost immediate. "What a great idea. I remember Annie from my Junior Literature class. Please say hello for me. I would expect to supply Annie with the best. Why don't the two of you fly to New York this weekend. I will let Jane at Lord and Taylor's and Louise at Saks Fifth Avenue to expect the two of you. Dave is going to New York next week on business. I was able to get into his personal email and learned that he has 2 tickets for a Broadway show on Tuesday night and dinner reservations at Sardis on Wednesday. I will secure box seats for you and Annie across the theatre and an out of direct sight table at Sardis. I know this is short notice, so let me know if you and Annie are available. You can stay in the law firm's penthouse on fifth avenue. By the way, all members of the law firm always fly first class for domestic flights and international flights. Please send Annie's social security number to Amy at Barker and Barker. If this weekend works for the two of you, and you can be in New York until Thursday morning, Amy will send Annie a check for 6 days in advance. Let her know how many days Annie works in the future. I will call Amy and let her know to set up the country club membership. I'll pay her $ 5,000 if she beats the mayor's wife on the tennis court."
P.S. I'm looking forward to receiving the first picture!
