THE HEARTBREAK COMMISSION - Part 4

CHAPTER 8: KISS ON THE CHEEK

It seemed like I had waited an eternity when the next tram had arrived. I stepped on and the DPP scanned me and would send me another bill. The trip took about twenty minutes and there were very few people on the tram which I liked as I hated it when the tram was jam packed full. I stepped off the tram and I was in the lower parts of the city. The Airtram station was terrible here and all manner of litter was blowing around on the platform. The only people I saw was the few that had been on the tram with me. I exited the station and was out onto the streets. There were lots of run down old style houses and the roads were very poor quality and looked to be made from old style tarmac.

I used my implant to access the maps for this area. I found that NiceFoods was only roughly fifteen minutes away so I decided to walk. I knew that Jake should be leaving work in about half an hour, he was supposed to be on the five to one shift today according to the details Kate had given me. My plan was to place a very small tracking bug on Jake's car which I had the details of and try to follow him but things were never that easy. I came up to the factory which was fairly big and had a large and shiny NiceFoods electric sign on the front of the building which was done is red and yellow. The rest of the building looked to made of the modern blue steel. The main gates were not guarded and I saw no signs of security, which didn't surprise me in the lower city. The car park was at the front too which made things easy. All I had to do was pinpoint the location of his car and send my bug off to stick to it. I had to use my implant again to scan the cars in the car park, My head wasn't hurting yet thank god.

My implant found his car quickly, it was a turbo electric Skozda with special gold plated wheel plates and modern art on the body of the car. It had a swirly, hazy red and yellow pattern all over and gold zig zag lines down the sides. The car was small but quite beautiful. I wasn't a car expert but I would have thought a car like his would cost an awful lot, far too much for a process technician to be able to afford. I used my implant targeting device to select the car and pulled out my tracking device which was so tiny I nearly dropped it. I selected “go.” in my implant and the device shot off my hand and headed for the car. A minute later I got the return signal into my implant telling me the tracking device had fixed on to the car.

My implant was special and also illegal but I needed it in my line of work. The government controlled all implants and there was severe punishments for anyone with illegal un registered implants. I had two, one legal just for show and my illegal one. If I was scanned they would find my legal one and hopefully miss my illegal one which had shielding built in. It was a risk I had to take. Other implants such as physical ones had even worse punishments as hundreds of years ago the planet was gripped with self changing implants and the world had been in chaos for a number of years. The world governments had agreed to stop these implants at all cost and many had lost their lives due to it. Now the world was relatively quite and those problems were past into history. I looked up at the sky, it was really magical with fluffy white clouds and clear blue sky, I supposed It would be as it was a false sky, man made. Through the sky the outline could be seen of the higher parts of the city, it was quite a sight. I set my camera up which was inside my pocket using my implant, it was a very top of the range one which could see through specific material which you programmed in with ease. It was incredibly small and easy to carry. I stood outside the main entrance looking like I was waiting for someone which of course I was. It was time Jake was due to leave, I watched and I waited. The doors to the building and a few scruffy rough looking men an women came out but I couldn't see Jake with them. They got In their cars and gave me an odd look as they drove out the gates. I waited longer and then Jake came out along with a cute looking young lady. Jake was wearing black jeans and a red t-shirt, he had black short hair and the young lady had a light purple skirt on with a skimpy top which showed her cleavage off. Jake was thin and of medium hight, she was small and plump. They walked to their cars, she had a pink Minzda, a very small but cute and cheap car and to me it was perfect for her. They talked for a little while then Jake gave her a small kiss on the cheek then got into his car. Now that was illegal, kissing a women when you are married, even on the cheek. My camera would have picked it up. I asked my implant to store the details of the cute girl, I would check her profile later. They raced each other out of the car park, Jake was faster of course and then they drove the same way. I checked the tracking device, it was working perfectly.

CHAPTER 9: NAKED AMBITION

I called for a TCSA car, it arrived in five minutes. I checked the tracking device and asked the car to head for there. I set the car to urgent and away we went at a faster speed then normal. I found that Jake's car had stopped at a house on Old Queens street which wasn't his home, I wondered if the young lady would be there. We passed other older vehicles, I even saw an old red Ferrari spider on the road and it was quite a sight. There were more really old style houses and I saw a row of old shops which included a small chip shop, betting shop as well as a general store. It was such a strange place the lower city, like time had stood still here for hundreds of years.

We reached our destination and before I got out I spotted two cars, the Skozda and the Minzda. I stepped out the car after the car had done its security check and asked it to return in an three hours. I walked down the path looking and finalizing my plan. The house was old style with two levels only, it had small windows and they were open. Across from the house more old houses were sat in a row. I decided to do an implant check and found that there was no one in the houses directly across from where Jake and the young lady would be. I had two choices, make my way into one of the other houses and spy for a while or sneak up to the house and risk been seen. I decided on the first choice, which was still dangerous and illegal should anyone return to the houses.

I easily broke the lock on the house directly opposite using my Lockgrip tool which was easy, I just placed it in the lock and it unlocked. The tool would unlock almost any standard lock, it was the ones with keycards that were more difficult. I entered the house. The inside of the house was old style pretty with flowery wallpaper on almost every wall. I had a quick look round. I could tell the house was lived in, maybe by an old lady as a guessed. I felt slightly guilty but there was no place to feel guilt in my line of work. On the walls were pictures of children and adults, they must have been someone's family. To my surprise the kitchen had a really old oven and kettle and a microwave. I made my way upstairs and set up my tiny cameras, these were bigger but would allow me to zoom in on anything. I put one facing the bedroom, and one facing the living room of the house Jake and his young lady was in. Using normal eyesight I could see movement from the bedroom and from the living room but I couldn't tell who it was. The bedroom I was in had an old single bed with a quilt which was again flowery and the walls were a grey, blue colour. There was a bedside cabinet with a light on and some books, I had a quick scan of the books. One was Krimpet's guide on emotional strength of character and spirit and the other was Krimpets's guide on love, life and respect, they were both published by Crazydaisy publishing, the same one that did my advertisement for my business. That reminded me, I never paid them, I forgot all about that bill. I took out a tiny portable screen, my head was starting to hurt. I sat on the edge of the bed and put the monitor on the cabinet and turned on the cameras using my implant. I took out the small controller I had which would allow me full control of the direction and zoom of the cameras. I zoomed in using the camera facing the bedroom and I saw the young lady. The picture was incredibility clear. She pulled off her top to reveal her bra which was pink with little lips on them, like kisses. I felt myself becoming hard. Jake was not up there. Her breasts were only just staying in her bra. She pulled off her light purple skirt to reveal a pink thong which again had lips or kisses on them, I forgot about the job I was on and was mesmerized with the cute girls body. I was getting harder and harder and I found myself reaching down to my sword. She pulled off her Bra to reveal the most gorgeous breasts I had seen, they were perfect, not too big and not too small, proportioned so well, they were firm and I just wanted to hold and kiss them and kiss and bite her nipples. She then pulled off her pink thong and her Hairy vagina looked moist and I stroked my sword more and more...... To my disappointment she left the bedroom, I presumed to take a shower or bath.

I checked the other camera, trying to get my thoughts back on the job in hand. I zoomed into the living room. Jake was in there sat on an old style small wooden chair with his clothes on. I watched and I waited. Jake sipped a drink of some kind which reminded me how thirsty and hungry I was. I kept one eye on the other camera but there was nothing. I suddenly remembered I never checked the young ladies profile. I did it now and found out that she was called Kelly and was single. My brain failed to take that in, I had never found a single female in years and now I had. She was twenty five years old, older than I thought she looked and had never been married. She had worked at NiceFoods for years and lived alone.

I resumed my work and checked the living room camera, Kelly was dressed now and she had a drink in hand and put it on a table. She then took something from a wooden box in the corner of the room. It looked like an easel, she erected a stand and took out a rectangle wooden box from the other box. She opened the box and I could see paintbrushes and paints. She said something to Jake and he began taking his clothes off. He took his red t-shirt off to reveal a very muscular six pack which surprised me as he looked so thin. His skin was fairly toned. He removed his jeans and white boxer shorts to reveal his amazingly long and thick sword. I found myself getting hard once more. I couldn't take my eyes away. I could tell he wasn't erect. Kelly went to him and took hold of her paintbrush and tickled his sword laughing all the time, such a sweet mouth she had with pure white teeth and red painted lips, Jake looked almost scared and frightened. Kelly grabbed Jake's body and moved him slightly. I now had a good idea what was going on.

I figured that Jake was a low paid worker and so was Kelly so Jake was leaving work and posing for pictures rather then going home. I had seen the job advertisement myself. He needed the credits to run his fancy car and probably to pay for his wife. I waited till they had done and Jake got his clothes on and she walked him to the door. I packed my things away and watched them come out of the house. She gave Jake a small kiss on the cheek and she went back in the house. Jake drove away. My head really hurt now, my car was due soon. I left the house with a feeling that I would return. I felt like a pervert but the images I had of Kelly in my mind made me desire her so very much. I though of the Lady in the mirror, the lady at the Tram platform and I though of Jake.

CHAPTER 10: OUT OF RETIRMENT

Mr Pernetti sat in his office at home thinking and pondering. He had just returned home from his bankers job at the central bank in the Square Of Lights and was feeling tired. Mr Pernetti drew the documents out from his drawer. He had been given a mission by the government and the mission was a heart breaking one. He was still in his black suit and his bold head shined as the lights in the house shone. He was a fairly muscular man and tall but at forty two was starting to feel his age. His wife was involved in Illegal implants and his job was to try and find the source and put a stop to them. He had loved his wife but now saw all the lies creeping out, the times she had said she had been off to a fashion shoot or going for lunch with her fashion designer, It all was starting to add up.

Luke Pernetti had been working for the government before he had met his wife and was a trained special operations officer. He retired when he met his wife, at the time she was earning a huge amount as a top fashion modal, although he got forced to retire after he had assaulted a top intelligence agent. It was only recently his wife had told him she had lost the contract she had been working on for ten tears and had been seeking out new ones. But now Mr Pernetti new she had been lying.

Last week a man in a green suit had visited. “Sorry Mr Pernetti, we have bad news and we need you to come out of retirement.” he had said. “Your wife Sir is mixed up in illegal matters and we need you to assist us.” he had said. It had been hard for Luke to take in, but in sunk in and now he was working as a special once more. He knew they just wanted to use him so they could get at his wife, but he hadn't seen her for over a week. He didn't know where to start and a confrontation with his wife would wreck the mission so he had to try and carry on as normal.

Luke scanned through the documents which outlined information the special operations department new about. “Visitor Mr Pernetti.” a ladies voice rang out from the speakers. Mr Pernetti had a personal security and messaging computer. He scanned the holographic screen which come up automatically. “Information.” said Luke. “John Envers, special detective, security..clear...ID.... true.” the ladies voice said. “Let him in!”

CHAPTER 11: MY WIFE IS DANGEROUS

I went home after leaving Kelly's house. I had a bite to eat and a cappuccino. It was mid afternoon so I decided to go and see Mr Pernetti and tell him the bad news, there was no point delaying it and tomorrow I had the P & D job to attend to. I had gone by TCSA car, I was feeling tired and just didn't fancy another Tram trip. I found myself in the rich level of the city and there were many huge modern houses and buildings. Lights seemed to reach out from everywhere and there were many large signs advertising many different businesses. Mr Pernetti's house was huge and my implant indicated good security but there were no gates just a normal key card door. The house was made of projective bricks which were extremely strong, kept warmth in and they also projected a hazy yellow and red light. I pressed a green button which signalled that I was here and wanted entry. “Please wait a moment.” a ladies voice said. I did just that and the doors swung open, I felt nervous although I carried my hidden weapon which was shielded from security devices and was illegal but I wasn't going to take Mrs Pernetti's words lightly.

I was met at the door by Mr Pernetti who looked quite formidable and carried hard edged looks, a bold head, a smart suite and clearly was strong to say the least. “What is it Mr Envers, I am very busy at the moment.” he sounded tired and snappy. “I am here on behalf of your wife sir.” his faced looked puzzled, his eyes watched me like a hawk. “She wants a divorce from you, I am so sorry Mr Pernetti, she wanted me to brake the news to you as she won't be returning here sir.” He laughed, loud and deep. “Mr Envers, my wife is dangerous.” he said most calmly, and she said he was dangerous I thought to myself. Something isn't adding up. “Mr Envers, do you know the location of my wife?” “No she wouldn't give me the details, she said she would contact me from time to time but not in person.” I replied truthfully. “Doesn't surprise me, did she say why she wanted a divorce?” “No, she wanted me to tell you that she had left you, I have the details of the divorce here if you would like to take a look sir?” “Mr Envers, I don't want to do this but I have to.” I was worried now. The entrance room we were in sealed itself, black shutters slammed around the room, there was no way out.

I stood where I was, thinking of a way out. “John, don't worry unless you feel guilty about something.” I did feel guilty, I could see kelly naked in my mind right now. I nodded. “This room John will pick up any lies, any weapons, anything which would worry me.” I had a weapon, I thought about telling him but I thought better of it. I stayed silent. “John Envers, are you having an affair with my wife?” “No.” I replied simply. “John Envers, what do you know about My wife's dealings with illegal implants?” “Nothing.” “Can I trust you?” “Yes.” “Have you any illegal implants?” I didn't know how to reply, “No.” “John Envers, are you good at your work?” at this moment, I felt I wasn't. “No.” He asked me all manner of questions, some completely stupid like, “Do you dress up as a women?” “Of course.” I lied. Eventually the questioning was complete, he brought me a chair to sit down on, I sat. He then went to a cabinet and pulled out a brandy bottle and offered it to me, I took it with a smile.

“What do you think to the room then John? anyone suspicious can be locked in here and questioned and in every corner of the room there are small cameras and armed guns.” I looked around, I really didn't want to die in here. “Its very nice.” I couldn't think what else to say, he just laughed. “John, if you try and use that illegal firearm you have on you, the guns will fire on you, OK.” I nodded, I was surprised this room picked it up. “Can we come to a deal John?” “What kind of deal?” “I wont tell the government about your illegal implant in return that you work for me, no questions asked.” he smiled as he said it, I didn't know what to think. I stayed silent. “John, the room has analysed you and your statistics say you would be good to employ, and as for dressing up as a women, you lied!” he laughed. I sipped my brandy, “OK Mr Pernetti, ill work for you but I also need to fulfil my contracts and what do I tell your wife if she contacts me?” I said. “We can sort things out, don't worry John.” He put out his hand, “Welcome to the team John.” I shook his hand and smiled.
