I was on the headset asking Heavylift, "You and yours were well taken care of I hope?"
"Yes, Harry. We were pampered guests at the airport and the accommodations they provided were very comfortable. Several flight attendants who heard we were there even offered some private entertainment."
I smiled, "Glad to hear."
"I understand there was a bit of a rucus?"
"Yeah, two in fact. One Porter decided to commit suicide trying to knife Bella in front of Walsh and I and a local politician/crime lord attempted an assassination with two flunkies using pneumatic pistols with special darts. Obviously none succeeded and all met untimely deaths. Seems there is still a bit of push back from the lower tier rogues in country."
I could see Heavylift's head nod through the doorway to the cockpit. He then relayed that information to Ladyhawk and Batgirl. "Heads up Ladyhawk and Batgirl. Two attempts already. Let's be on our toes for a third."
"Roger that Heavylift. Combat escort formation and we are all lit up and ready."
The flight back to the Embassy was uneventful, though; but I appreciated the professionalism.
Bella requested we land on the Carrier first so she could talk with the fleet commander. Heavylift and the Apaches landed in an out of the way part of the flight deck and we were met by the XO who escorted us to Captain Hillibrand in his quarters.
"Captain, Ambassador Walker and Lady Isabella are here to see you."
"Very well, XO. Harry and Beth is it okay with you both if he stays?"
We both nodded agreement and we sat in his small seating area. "What can I do for you two today? Scuttlebutt is you had two different attacks while visiting south of here."
Beth nodded her acknowledgment, "Yes, HL. It was most depressing knowing I was the target of two different assassination attempts in less than 24 hours. But I think we accomplished our goals in the end."
HL took a moment to look closely at Beth, "How you holding up?"
Beth smiled in return, "Harry and Sue helped me regain my perspective. I am okay, but still a bit saddened."
HL nodded, "If it helps, it has been my experience you cannot help those who do not want your help, you cannot save those who do not want saving, and you cannot change the base personality of anyone. You can only do what you feel is right, what you have the power to do, and above all: be true to yourself."
Beth smiled warmly, "Wise words indeed, HL. Wise indeed. Which brings us to the reason for my visit today."
"Oh?" HL inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, The Marine contingent got nothing but praise for their politeness, professionalism, and attention to duty during our minor skirmish. I certainly do not intend to step on any toes, but I was wondering if you could consider releasing them from their punishment? Judging from their actions, they have learned their lesson and I believe further punishment is unnecessary."
"That would need to be an official request from you, My Lady. I cannot set such a precedent on my own for obvious reasons. But for political expediency, rules can be bent. So, my question to you is; is this an official request from the President of Mexico?"
Beth smiled, "It is an official request, yes. Unless, of course, it creates a problem for you."
I spoke up, "Perhaps it would be good for morale and foreign relations for Beth to ask this of you in front of the Marines, after referencing this talk? That way they know beyond a shadow of a doubt this is a one time thing based solely upon their performance while on duty?"
HL grinned, "We can make that happen. XO, how long before the Marines will be back with the fleet?"
"Captain, I sent some extra helicopters back earlier to gather all the men at one time. Their ETA is approximately 10 minutes."
"Very good, XO. Have them muster on the hanger deck when they arrive and we can send them to their ship afterwards. Also, have their Commander present as well."
"Aye Aye, Sir." With that, the XO saluted and briskly walked out of the room to have the Commander fetched.
HL got up to get some coffee, "Coffee Beth? Harry?"
"No thanks," was our common response.
Beth was in a thin, skin tight, silk lavender dress with no undergarments. To say one could read the braille on her nipples would be an accurate observation. I know I fully enjoyed watching her breasts bouncing around in the chopper on the trip back to the yacht.
The dress was open back with just a ribbon of silk for a behind the neck tie back and the opening ended at her dimples of Venus. The front was obviously a custom fit because the silk material enveloped her breasts with no loose fabric to the sides or bottom where it flowed without wrinkle from the bottom of her breast to her chest.
It was one of the most sensual dresses I had ever seen on a woman.
After HL sat back down, Beth knelt between his knees and opened his trousers, pulling out his cock which hardened immediately.
HL looked about to stop her when she said, "Captain, I just wanted to be submissive and give you a blow job in thanks for you considering my request."
Beth gently pistoned his manhood while her other hand massaged his balls. When her wet full lips slipped over the ridge and her tongue ran over the Y underneath, HL took a deep breath and softly groaned as Beth lathed her tongue back and forth. Soon Beth was giving HL a very enthusiastic blow job and when he came, she swallowed it all down while looking directly into his eyes. When she was finished she made sure he was completely drained and kissed the tip before putting it away again and helping the Captain back into his pants.
HL coughed as he adjusted himself and smiled, "I would be remiss if I didn't make sure you come let me know if there is ever anything else I can help you with!"
Beth laughed cutely and gave HL a sultry wink.
We sat for a while and did small talk and around 30 minutes later HL got us together to go to the hanger deck. I looked at HL and asked, "You kept them waiting for dramatic effect?"
"That and I am reversing a previous disciplinary action. I am reinforcing who is in charge."
We got to the deck and the XO smartly called everyone to attention when HL showed up. The Marines were still wearing their kit when the Captain began. "I have been informed by the Lady Isabella, President of Mexico, that your work ethic, professionalism, and courtesy during your last deployment was exemplary. To that end, she has something to say to us...Lady Isabella the floor is yours."
Beth cleared her throat. "Captain, in consideration of the exemplary conduct by this Marine group, as President of Mexico, and in concert with our negotiations prior to this meeting, I am officially requesting the punishment for these personnel be ended if you deem it appropriate to do so."
Captain Hillibrand nodded, "In the spirit of cooperation with the Mexican government, your guard duty assignment on the docks has been lifted. However, the docking of your pay remains due to actual damages. That is all."
XO yells, "Attention!" Salutes the Captain, and hollers, "Dismissed! You are to return to your ship, Marines!"
