Chapter 12
I get with Mills to arrange an escort to my apartment.  He is more than happy to get out of the office, almost as happy as I am.  Mills guides me over to a large door, a garage door of sorts.What I see next is purely amazing.  A huge garage with a large variety of cars, all black with black window tint.  We've got an Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Malibu, Town car, two Mustangs one of which is a Shelby GT-500.  That was all I could spot a one glance. Mills grabs a set of keys from the lock box on the inner most wall.  We take the Tahoe just in case I need to bring a lot of shit out my sad excuse for a living space. I look at the key pad for the Tahoe and I see a purple button on there, along with the grey unlock and lock buttons.  "What's the purple button for?"Mills responds, "Watch and learn Gregg."  He pushes the button and the wall to our left opens up.  It's a freight style elevator.  The Ta

Chapter 13
In walks Holly, Barbie, Debra, whatever the fuck her name is.  Her white blouse and black slacks are perfectly pressed and wrinkle free.  She has on some shiny black heels that click their way across the floor with every step.She turns and closes the door slowly and remains facing the door for a while, too long.  I notice this because I do care about this woman and I do want to comfort her if she needs it. I rise from my astonishingly comfortable desk chair, trip over my power cord on my way to check on Carbra (C for Holly, arb for Barbie and ra for Debra).  I approach her from the back, it was my only option.  Her arm is tense as I gently grab it and spin her around to face me. Her tears are genuine, her eyes only looking at the ground, shameful or sorrowful.  I place my right index finger on her chin and raise her face towards mine.  She begins to cry very hard now, almost panic-stricken. The feeling

The alarm blares through the entire complex.  It's more of a BWAAAH, BWAAAH, BWAAAH sound.  It only cycles once then shuts off abruptly.  Holly is at her station determining where the breach is and how far we have been breached so far.    I instinctively draw my weapon from my shoulder holster and prepare for the worst. Holly yells out, "It's ok guys, it's up top.  Looks like a farmer or something.  I've opened the elevator to him; go retrieve him for me please."I concernedly asked Mills, "Seriously?  Why bring him down here?  Why would we do that?"Mills waves everyone off and says, "Let's go get our present Gregg.  I'll explain once the target has been secured."We speed off on foot, my sneakers screeching on the linoleum floor.  Mills doesn't even have his weapon out or anything.  I try to place my pistol in my harness but apparently it's impossible.  I must be one of

Chapter 15
Everyone's face dropped, even the people I didn't call out by name looked like their best friend just got anal raped and kissed by a male prostitute with Herpes.        I stormed through the main work area, as Holly, The Boss and Mills fell in line behind me.  I slammed my door open and proceeded to slam things accordingly.  I wanted the mood to be as dramatic and traumatic as possible, just to show the level of severity I was at.I moved my desk chair to the visitor side of the room, as I didn't feel like sitting at the moment and I knew I wanted my sweet Holly to have a seat."Take a seat, any seat.  Thank you for coming."  The sarcasm was very thick from my inner most angry sarcasm voice.All three sat down and took a nice deep breath.  They all three knew what I was about to say and how I was about to react but not quite sure how I would present it. "I'd like to start with the farmer or h

Chapter 16
Throughout my entire attempt to sleep, I had horrific nightmares mostly of the agents in the glass rooms and if I were to fail at job, I would be the next feeding victim.  I know a decent chunk of the secrets and I can't be set free from this job.  Not yet at least.Every so often, I would toss and turn and then sit straight up, panting to catch my breath and sweating the coldest sweat the human body has ever produced.  At my highest fear level, I would look down at Holly and kiss her forehead.At one point she mumbled, "It'll get better Gregg, I swear."I kissed her again and whispered, "I hope so, I truly hope so."Off and on all night, I would hear creeks and pops as if the floor were speaking to me in the form of the shifting weight of someone's footsteps.  I slept with my back to the small side of the room and my gun under my pillow.  I would crack my eyes open every so often just to make sure no one was sneaking up on me.Read more
Chapter 17
Mills escorts me to Dahmer's cell.  It's covered with hand drawn art work that he had worked on since his "death" in prison.  The card is swiped and the elaborately long access code is entered."I'll be fine from here."  I hand Mills my service weapon and close the door behind the rolling desk chair I brought with me. Mills looked at me as if I had lost my mind.  I did.  I knew this guy could dissect me like a school science experiment using only his pinkie fingernail.  The fear emitting from me was very obvious to Dahmer."Good morning sir.  You're new around these parts aren't you?  My name's Jeffrey."  He extends his hand out.  I reach with mine, shaking just enough to be noticeable."Yes sir, name's Gregg, brand new around here Jeffrey, but the honor is all mine; meeting one of the most notorious and prolific serial killers in the United States history is nothing short of a god damn honor."

Chapter 18
I enter the main area; The Boss is standing there just staring at me, either in amazement of my bravery or in amazement of my stupidity.  Next thing I know, I hear applause.  Everyone in the room is applauding me, even the little councilor guy.            "Gregg, I knew I picked the right guy for this job.  No one ever goes into the rooms with the agent and closes the door behind them.  No one ever has and I thought I would never see that.  Very brave, good technique to gain and show trust."  The Boss is practically separating my shoulder with all the pats on the back he's giving me.I reply simply, "Well, that's what I get paid for, right?""Damn straight Gregg."  Finally, The Boss confirmed I am actually getting paid.  Had me worried for a minute.I stretch a bit and let the boss know, "I'm going to go take a shower and lay down if it's ok with you.""Go ahead bud; we'll

Chapter 19
The backup power kicks on with an oddly loud thud.  The backup lights kick on, they are red like the ones on a submarine.  The red softens the severity of the light change and allows for more comfortable movement in the darkness. I slip on some shorts and an undershirt along with my shoes.  My tactical light clips perfectly into place as it should.  As I approach the door, I tell Holly, "Don't leave this room, once I shut this door don't open it unless I know four times, two sets of two."She nods her head and gets her gun out from the dresser. A very loud alarm sounds, louder than the encroachment alarm from earlier.  A lot louder than before.  I keep my body tight to the wall as I enter the hallway and listen for any noises that may lead me to clues.I'm not hugging the inside of the corner leading to the main room.  I don't know what the alarm means or where it was activated at but I am assuming it is comi

Chapter 20
The entire place is quiet, even the agents are resting and behaving themselves.  Mills is roaming endlessly, his entire crew was wiped out and he had been overrun by one lone man.  One lone potential agent that obviously felt like he didn't have to participate with us.The Boss was the only person that seemed to be not affected by the events that had occurred.  Black suit, white shirt, black tie and slacks.  The only noise that eventually rang out was the Boss's telephone, the red one, the one that doesn't dial out.I watched curiously through his blinds and did my best to read his lips.  All I could get was "Yes, Sir" about eight times.  This could be a chance to show my skills, a mission possibly.  I'll have to wait but in the mean time I go check on Holly.She is sitting at her desk with her face hidden from view, "You alright sweetie?""Uh, no, I don't think so.  I've never had to flush a room before and it's re

ER, ER, ER, ER, ER!  My alarm sounds off, calling out to me that it is time to get the fuck up and head out.  We had two objectives tonight.  A Philippine looking teenager and a fifty to sixty year old woman.  What a job.I took all of my clothes off and picked out a new suit from my dresser.  I put on an undershirt and then the slacks.  I tucked the undershirt into the slacks to prevent any sort of malfunctions.  I put on a flak jacket then put my arms in the white button up.  A tie, belt and shoes completed the wardrobe.  My shoes of choice for tonight were flat black, steel toe combat style boots.I didn't know where we would have to go or what we would have to walk through so I prepared for the worst with the boots and the best with the suit.  My gun was strapped to my chest and holstered like normal, the jacket concealed it nicely. I kiss Holly good bye and exit the room, prepared to accomplish the goa
