*****
June 2006 Washington DC
Jack sat back in his office chair nodding. The Mayers and Cruz families were incestuous just as he had expected. He had a nose for spotting it and his intuition had proven him right again. All the waiting and surveillance had been expensive, but worth it in the end. The question now was what about the mother and son?
They had no evidence that those two had a sexual relationship, but Jack had that feeling he refused to ignore. Something told him there was something there. Intuition or wishful thinking, he had to know. He picked up the phone and called his son Brad.
"Brad, can you come in for a few minutes?"
"Be right there."
Brad Xenos entered his father's office glad to be getting a break from reading reports.
"What's up?" he asked informally.
Jack pointed to a chair and looked at his son after he sat.
"It looks like the Mayers girl confirmed incest in their family."
"Really!" Brad said perking up.
He and his father didn't always see eye to eye. In fact, Brad had not been certain the Mayers family were involved in the same practice as their own. But the old man had finally found something, so Brad allowed the old man to gloat he had predicted it.
"She and her father, before he died."
"Interesting," Brad replied. "And the mother and son?"
"Nothing on that front yet, but I'm thinking that if there is... it's in the developing stages. He only turned eighteen last February."
"Long enough for him and his mother to get close."
"Maybe yes and maybe no. I want it confirmed. Are they still in process of moving?"
"The mother put the house up for sale." Brad recalled his latest report on the mother and son. "And she has been inquiring about renting near the college. She has also asked for a transfer to a branch near that college on the other side of town."
"They are distancing themselves from where they are known," Jack said.
Brad smiled and nodded just as his father did. It was one of the practices of such couples.
"I had a plan to investigate them, but it fell through where they live now," Brad added. "Jane, the young woman the son was playing around with?" he paused making sure his father understood who it was.
Jack nodded so Brad continued.
"She left the state for California. We can approach her there if you like."
"If we do, she could warn them, and they can bolt or become more secretive. I want to observe them when they have no clue they are being observed. Make sure the surveillance is passive and light. No close contact and no bugs. OK?"
Brad nodded.
"I presume all the bugs were removed from the professor's residence?"
"Reluctantly so. But yes, they are gone. If he is investigated, no one will find traces of us."
"After Leslie Mayers' statement goes to print, the feds will put him on their shit list and may even start their own investigation. The last thing we need is to be caught up in that.
"Once the Mayers couple are living in their new place across town, we can see about gathering more information on them. Until then let's give them some breathing room."
"You got it," Brad replied. "Anything else?"
"Yes, why don't you and Janet come over for dinner tonight. We haven't gotten together for a while."
Brad smiled at his father who smiled back. They both knew what "dinner" meant. A chance for a family sex romp.
"You're incorrigible dad."
"What? You don't think I know you and Jill are fucking whenever she comes to your office?"
"Do you blame me?"
"Son, I've been fucking your aunt since forever and hope to on my last day on earth."
"You probably will," Brad replied knowing the close bond between his father and his aunt. "And I know you and Janet had your moments."
"Do you blame me?" his father looked up slightly worried. Brad was his son after all and while they had traded their loved ones on occasion, he still worried about hurting his son. "She is beautiful. But she is yours, son. Her heart is yours and you know it."
"I know that, just like you and Jill. It's how we are."
"Are you sure Brad? Are you sure you are not upset that your mother and I are not together?"
Brad was good at keeping his emotions in check. He did so again at his father's question.
"I didn't understand it as a child; why my mom and dad lived apart. So far apart." He corrected himself. "That bothered me. But I knew she was married to her work and business as much if not more than you. You two had different goals and eventually I figured things out. She loved someone else and so did you."
"I still love her in a way and am thankful she gave me you Brad."
"It's in the past," Brad said looking away.
"You and I are not in the past," Jack said to his son. "I am and have been so proud of you. And of all the people you could be in love with, your cousin is the best. I love Janet. She is like a daughter to me. You know that don't you?"
Brad nodded.
"Funny," he said. "I never felt any anger or hate toward aunt Jill. She was aunt Jill. She is family. We love family. Just that some family love each other more than others. When I got older I understood. You have for Jill what I have for Janet. I love aunt Jill but I'm not in love with her; you are. It's how Janet and I are."
"I'm glad we had this talk Brad," Jack said to his son. "At least you and I talk about such things."
Brad noticed a forlorn look on his father's face.
"Cliff..." Jack said mentioning his other son, "well, let's talk about your brother another time."
Brad merely nodded. His brother was very different from the rest of the family and distant. Brad had little contact with his younger brother. They were a year apart, but the gulf between them vast and insurmountable. They lived in two different worlds personally with no close resolution to the family rift.
"How's your mom doing?" Jack asked politely.
"California agrees with her. I think she is in Japan on business."
Jack nodded politely and smiled as Brad moved to the door. Talk of Brad's mother was kept to a minimum. The marriage was still in the books, but the two had not lived together for many years.
"Is seven OK?" Brad asked about their "dinner" plans.
"Sounds great," Jack said and nodded to his son who smiled politely and closed the door.
Brad was in his late twenties, a marine reserve officer and a veteran of war, yet he still had issues about the circumstances of his birth by his parents. Jack shook his head at that. He and Brad had gone over it time and time again, yet it was still a sore point between them. The marriage between his mother and father had been one of convenience to give each other cover in the real world and to produce a child not of incest. A common practice by people like them. Could they have handled it better? Maybe. Jill had ideas about that worth exploring.
Jack sat back thinking about his relationship with his sons. At least Brad talked and worked with him. As an Army chaplain, Cliff thought his father was living in sin with Jill. They had not talked since Angela, Cliff's wife, had been in the hospital after Afghanistan. All the millions... correction billions Jack had amassed, and he still had family problems.
Jack looked out the window gathering his thoughts until his assistant buzzed him.
"Mrs. Stein is on the way up Mr. Xenos."
"Good, send her in when she gets here."
----------
Jill and Leslie came up the elevator and headed right for Jack's office. They were on the 15th floor of the building overlooking the Potomac and the nation's capital. Something they could not miss from the view of the floor to ceiling glass windows past the assistant's desk.
Jack stood as they came in the room to greet them. While he had seen pictures of the younger Mayers woman, he was shocked at how she resembled her mother. The face was near identical, but just a bit different. Yes, Leslie was younger, but there were slight variations; the genetics of Robert Mayer. She was two inches taller than her mother, something hardly noticeable at the moment as Jack stared at her beautiful face.
"Jack, this is Leslie Mayers," Jill said aware her brother already knew who the young woman was.
Leslie had expected to see an older man in the huge and plush corporate office of Xenos Corp. Jack Xenos was in his early sixties, but Leslie didn't know that yet. To her he was at best in his mid-fifties. He had the distinguished gray hair on the temples, but the rest of his hair was mostly black. He was fit, handsome and that disarming smile set Leslie surprisingly at ease. And he looked familiar.
"Nice to meet you Leslie," he replied and put out his hand for her to shake. Leslie felt the warmth of man strength in his large palm. He shook her hand politely, holding it just long enough to not make her uncomfortable. "Did you have a good trip?"
"Yes sir, I did," she replied. Where had she seen him before?
"That's so formal," he replied. "Has Jill been staring you down and making you think I was an ogre?" he smiled again not giving her a chance to reply. "Call me Jack."
Jill rolled her eyes as she sat on the edge of his desk; clearly marking her territory.
"I'm fine with-it Mr..." Jack gave an expectant smile at her and waited. "I mean Jack," Leslie corrected herself, seeing him nod in approval.
"Good, I hear you signed the statement and will be doing your air force physical tomorrow, right?"
Jill got bored with her brother repeating the obvious and cut in. He so loved charming women with that way of his. But this young girl still needed the force of God on her, not the seduction of Jack. But Jack was Jack and approached people his way; charm. Her way was waterboarding.
"You know all that Jack, quit pestering the girl. She agreed and is been very cooperative."
