"GAME! This isn't a game! What they did to me WASN'T A GAME!" Camila roared then took some deep breaths. "The meeting was recorded. Video. Audio." She cued up the recording to the spot where she'd pushed the agents beyond their ability to resist their impulses.
"So, it's to be blackmail from some fabricated evidence."
Camila pressed play. "You fucking whore! Yosman wants the software, and you're going to give us what we want! Come here. I said FUCKING COME HERE!" There was a sound of a hand striking skin and Camila's cry of pain. She stopped the playback and looked to Roy who nodded appreciatively at her acting.
They heard a choking sound of the director trying to contain his reaction. "What do you want?" the man said quietly, surprised and shaken by his recognition of Kaiba's voice.
"I want you to deal with them! I don't want this video to go public. I don't want to go to the police. I don't need my reputation marred by this! I want you to come here to t
"Yeah, they're a mess right now. Emotions completely out of control," Roy conceded."Why did she do this?" Henry asked."The agents were threatening to shut VRL down, to arrest Camila and you on bogus charges just because they had the means to do it. Complete abuse of power. They wanted your firewall, the secret of how it works. They didn't like not being able to poke around in our private files. Camila defused their threat by making the agents a liability to the NSA, by recording the ordeal, and by acting as she did, to make it credible evidence. We're sorry to put you through that, but it was necessary to make it look credible. She and I worked out the scenarios and this way was our best chance at success. She was never in any real danger, being far stronger than both of the agents. Camila would never have gone through it if she hadn't thought it was essential for the safety of VRL and its people."Henry sat back and thought about that. He finally looked up at
"Our enemies aren't concerned with ethics!""Then how do we differentiate between them and you? There's protecting yourself, and there's being a dick. The first is defensive. The second, offensive.""That's enough Henry," Roy finally said to intervene as he saw Henry's agitation growing.Henry looked to him and took some deep breaths to calm himself."For National Security, I can have the asset seized.""I'll save you the trouble," Henry jumped in again and handed the man a USB memory stick. "There it is."Roy made a noise of protest while Camila's eyes flashed to Henry's.Director Yosman looked at him in surprise then his look turned suspicious. "You're giving me the software? What's the catch?"Henry nodded. "The catch is the fact that without the encryption key you can't decrypt the application source code to customize the included configuration files for any other networks. No configuration, no firewall. The catch is that t
"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!" Henry exclaimed as he felt her throat sucking the ropes of cum from his throbbing cock. The pulses of ecstasy went on and on as his body shook and jolted through each surge. It was one of the longest releases he'd ever had. He slowly came back to his senses and realized Camila was still sucking and swallowing. He got worried about how much she was taking so he tried to lift her head.She growled and clung to his thighs tightly. She was so freaking strong! It felt like he had a tiger clinging to him. She swallowed again.Seriously worried now, he dropped his glamor to get access to his Satyr strength. His change also meant Camila suddenly found a much thicker and longer cock jammed deep in her throat. She instantly choked and pushed at his legs to clear her abused airway. Then she lost muscle tone and went limp. The Wild Magic in her large meal had begun to surge through her body, replenishing her exhausted and drained cells.
Sandy was feeling particularly upbeat this morning. While not a gloomy person by anyone's standard, today she felt almost giggly.The previous day had been so much fun at work as Dayshia told and retold herboob grabberstory to the rest of the staff they worked with, each time her satisfaction at putting the creep down for the count made her eyes glow. While many in her audience were more mesmerized by her cleavage than the story, her bestie had enjoyed being in the spotlight and left everyone with a warning to watch out forweirdosin the subway.Last night, all night, Sandy had many beautiful dreams about Henry and woke with such a case of the tingles she had to deal with it in the shower. No doubt this was a significant component in why she was feeling so good.On top of that, this morning her hair was feeling unusually silky soft and shone with health. She had to make a concentrated effort to keep her hands out of it.
"The Queen needs this task completed successfully. We have no more time for delays... or mistakes." Ikehorn growled. "Can you shoot now?""Yes, but still not with the accuracy required. I don't know how you healed the bones so quickly, but I wouldn't put faith in my marksmanship with this tremble in the muscles. My plan still makes more sense!" he insisted.Ikehorn growled in frustration. He hadn't wanted to expose his new abilities to anyone else, but Rohann forced his hand. For nothing, it seemed. Dammit!"Fine! But we will both need to be as careful as possible to ensure nothing gets beyond our control." Ikehorn asserted. He received a silent nod from Rohann.Ikehorn pointed to a junction on the map. "Meet me there tomorrow at 5:30 AM." The man memorized the location and nodded. "And speak to no one about what I did for your wrist. Queen's orders."He didn't often invoke the Queen's authority. As her man, he had the right to, but he was all too
Henry visited Sigrid in her office first thing when he arrived at work, and she greeted him with a happy smile. That smile slipped as she saw the tension in his eyes."What's wrong? What happened?" she asked.Henry snorted with a mix of amusement and frustration. "That's becoming our thing. Always another problem," he sighed, and she gave him a sympathetic smile which made him think of what Nate said about the beautiful women supporting their happiness. He couldn't keep a chagrined smile of his own from spreading across his face.Sigrid watched his expression change. "What's the smile for?" she asked curiously.He shook his head gently. "Nothing. Just something Nate said to bring things into perspective."Her smile widened. "I like this man even more if he can put a smile on your face like that."Henry could only nod as he agreed. Then his expression turned serious. "Did you hear w
It was late afternoon when Henry's cell vibrated, indicating a text. He'd been unable to get a cell signal all day due to the oversaturation of the local cell towers. The crowds were beginning to thin and access was only now starting to become available once more. He'd paused by a small alcove with food and drink and was finishing off when he felt it.Plucking the phone from his pocket, he saw it was from Sandy. 'Call me' was all it said. The timestamp was a few minutes ago indicating that's when he finally got a connection. He didn't know when she actually sent it. As he had no signal now, he made his way towards the back of the building to try his luck there. He shared a smile with another man who was holding up his cell trying to get a signal as well.Henry felt his phone vibrate as another text came in. It was Dayshia also asking him to call. He frowned. The phrase 'What's wrong? What happened?' passed uneasily through his mind."Trissa! It's Mr. Plantain!"<
Closing his eyes, he concentrated on his solitude on the side street. No crowd. No need for the heat. When he felt the pressure of his need lessen, then lessen more, he pulled the heat inwards again. It was easier now, but it still took so much effort to contain it. He wished he'd been able to have a release of his own as it would be over. Instead, he moaned with the effort to contain it one more time. He was shaking with exhaustion when he felt it sink deep inside once more. The shawl blew away, down the street and he didn't have the energy to chase it. Instead, he pulled out his cell and saw his messages had finally arrived. As he read the texts, his expression swung from shock to fear and he pushed himself to run up to the main street. There were no available taxis, so he crossed the road and ran a few more blocks to get beyond the crowds around the convention center. Only then was he able to finally flag down an approaching taxi. He sagged into the back seat and gave the name of
They stopped at the guardhouse where a startled looking soldier stared at them, then just waved them through. They returned to the building with the auditorium. The Colonel, the General, Hugh, and the lab coats were waiting for them. Corporal Dane handed the camera back to the technician, who accepted it excitedly. He immediately reviewed the recording and made excited sounds to his colleagues.The General was trying to school his expression but wasn't too successful."How... how are you feeling, son?" he asked softly from his tight throat.The big marine saluted him with a wide smile. "I feel really good, sir! So much better than I was after the explosion and maybe better than my best day."Hugh's expression was satisfied. "I know a lot of other soldiers who might appreciate the same chance."Mick stepped forward. "Sir, what we saw today was just short of a miracle. His body rejected the conversion, and we almost lost him. The injury he sustained created a break in the flow, and he a
Gordon took in the ribbons pinned to the marine's dress uniform. He'd done some pretty impressive things in his career. He stepped forward and returned the man's salute. "I'm Colonel Gordon Crane.""Gunnery Sergeant Christopher Endale."Gordon smiled and gestured to the soldiers, who were now all smiling at him. "I suppose your security clearance has been escalated to allow you to witness this, so let me introduce you to my squad. Up until yesterday, they were a group of highly trained human soldiers. We were charged with capturing a small group of Silver People. Instead, my people got turned into Silver People themselves. They're still the same soldiers, but you can't really call them human any longer. Not that they've complained.""We can run so fast!" Yablonski gushed.The squad burst into chuckles, and the marine's eyes widened at the odd sound."Maybe discipline has been affected," Crane grumbled, and his squad snapped to attention as the argument was over and the two men returne
"I'm not at my peak either. I had to use a fair amount to deal with Carl de Bellisle. But I don't intend to fight Nuru. I don't want her job!" she exclaimed.Sigrid snorted in amusement, and the phone chirped. Camila pressed the button. "Yes?""Your 9 AM is here," Felix said."Thank you. Please send them in."Sigrid stood to face the door as Camila joined her. "Remember our visit to Walter's cavern?" the blond asked quietly, and Camila nodded as she smiled at Nuru, who strode in with her bodyguards at her sides. They shut the door.The waves of energy radiating from the leader confirmed Camila's guess that she'd been overfeeding in preparation for this meeting. She sighed, as in contrast, Camila held back on her output the best she could. She forced a smile onto her lips."Greetings, Nuru Onwudiwe," Camila began and bowed her head to the other woman."Camila Villamor, you are not presenting the excess of power you did the other night," Nuru snapped.Camila looked up and nodded. "As I
Keeping the destination drop zone in his mind, he opened the tear, and Henry fell through to drop three feet to the grass below. The back of his head landed on the small brass commemorative plate bolted to the stone next to the bushes. Xiong winced but quickly closed the tear as he saw the beam of a flashlight approaching.He hoped their friend was okay as they'd asked so much from him. He looked back to the pile of charred remains. Something shiny caught his attention. It was up where Henry's head had been. Xiong reached down and lifted the crystal ganglion from the ground. His body must have rejected it after he was healed.Xiong couldn't inform Henry that he no longer had their transplanted capacity to wield magic. He also had no idea how Henry got it out yet completed his spell.He looked to the others. "We will bury these remains in the forest glade to honor our friend, Henry."A feeling of joy and love washed through him from the others. The Glass People loved the idea, as they
He felt Xiong withdrawing, and through the magic in him, he picked up snippets of a conversation Xiong was having with all of the other Glass People. The volume was a bit overwhelming as there were so many voices, and they were upset. They seemed to be talking about making him a Glass Person because of his injuries. To save him. Xiong was trying to tell them it wouldn't work as he'd already been subjected to the same energies, and he wasn't glass now.Henry was beginning to get seriously worried. How badly was he hurt? He felt someone close by and reached out to the mind. It was one of the Silver People.It physically touched him, and he linked minds with the young female. Concepts and perceptions were flowing through their link. She was sad. She'd heard he was the hero who'd saved all of the people on this planet and many on Earth. He imagined looking through her eyes at him, and she allowed it.He saw his Human glamor, and he looked no worse for wear. That was a relief. He dropped t
Crane shrugged. "I might have gotten more information, but Palmer's team decided to make his attempt at capturing my team.""You informed your team to run. They're now on the loose," Palmer asserted."No, they've gone to ground and will contact me tomorrow. They're still my squad. They remain devoted to the mission, as do I," Gordon asserted."But they won't come in," Baines growled."Yes, they'll come in, but not if they're going to be experimented on. Fully human soldiers would behave the same way under this threat, and there's no need for it. They've already proven they'll tell us everything we need to know." He locked eyes with the General. "Having a squad of bulletproof soldiers able to move faster than we can register with our eyes gives us one hell of an advantage, wouldn't you say? And remember, we know how to make more."That got through to the man."I'd personally like to speak to one of these Silver People," said the man with the crooked smile.Crane nodded. "We saw a repor
"Status report, Mick," Crane commanded through his mic. Their radios were shielded, so they still worked.The sergeant was still a little overwhelmed by the shared emotions, but she pulled it together and answered. "Colonel. The pseudo-clouds appear to be dead. The strike zone of the last prolonged bolt is too energized for us to enter. In the center of this zone is a body. We can't get close enough to make a positive identification or to determine if the person is alive or not. It looks to be a male based on body shape and clothing. The area is sprouting new growth unnaturally fast. Grasses and flowers are actually growing before our eyes. The four Silver People we met in Tennessee were here before we arrived, and they showed us how lightning affects the plant life where it strikes."And how exactly did they do that?" Crane asked, weariness in his tone.Mick felt a little uneasy with what she was about to confess, but she pushed ahead. "Uh, it seems we can speak mind to mind if we ho
As he got closer, he could feel every hair on his body beginning to stand on end. Little sparks were jumping between the strands, and he could taste something metallic. The rain was picking up, as was the wind, and soon he was drenched. The closer Henry got, the brighter the sparks snapping across his body became. It felt like his entire body was being pricked by pins and needles. The woman suddenly looked up at him and stopped with a look of fear on her face, clutching her child to her side.Henry looked closely at her and realized her hair was as soaked as his, but hers wasn't attracting the sparks at all.He looked past the woman and saw the tiny sparks leaping through the gap between himself and the approaching storm. He was a lightning rod! FUCK! He had to get away from her and the children! He spotted two young men running by."STOP!" he roared, and they froze in fear. "Help her get her children to cover!" he ordered, and they rushed to her and got her moving, one pushing her ca
"Shit!" Crane exclaimed.Sam looked at his friends then back to the Colonel. "These things duking it out over a city would not be good. I don't know what effect the lightning would have on people, but I can't imagine it would be good." A sudden pang of guilt made him look to the new Silver People they'd made. "You should know, we get our energy from the lightning. I guess it's how we eat."Jake scowled at Sam, but he just shrugged. He wasn't about to let them starve to death.Brenda and Jeannie went back into the barn and returned with handfuls of the silver strips, handing them out to the soldiers. Brenda took the remaining strips back to the barn when they no longer melted into the soldier's skin."We have to leave," the Colonel said, looking at Sam."That's cool with us. It's up to you what happens to your people. We're just going to keep running as that's what feels best. We won't interfere with you. I'd like to ask that you do the same for us, but maybe you don't have that author
