Trevor had been given the keys to his Master’s second car, with simple instruction.
“Go to this address and do a reccee, I’m going to the club and see what I can see.”
Trevor finished towelling his hair, and then began to dress.
There was much to do and, the sooner it was all done, the sooner he could return to the life he so enjoyed as a submissive, to a real man.
‘But for now, there was work to be done…”
Trevor picked up the keys once dressed, then left the house.
At that moment, brow furrowed, ‘The Major’ sat at his desk, elbows on his desktop, his hands clasped.
"Boss.. she's after your money!!" Summers sat back and listened to the two men talking, as he heard Chevy Markham's words in his head.
A user the fellow was: and, driven by greed. But, he'd always proven adept with the information he passed on.
So the question he had to ask himself was why was he warning him of this now? After all, he'd been seeing the woman for awhile now.
Drumming his fingertips together, his brow furrowed, John Summers asked himself again and again, 'why now?'
The only thing that had changed was Celine's disappearance.
"Is that it??" He exclaimed, standing up and away from his desk, supporting himself on his fingertips on ht desktop, as he leant forward.
Ben and Jared looked at one another.
“Yumi is many things,” Ben opined, prowling back and forth, “but she isn’t stupid.”
He paused, then carried on speaking, “She won’t have Celine at her place. Of that I’m sure…”
Summers looked up from the table desktop, then smiled: “Maybe you’re right, but I know her well. She’ll use whoever, or whatever it takes to get what she wants.”
“So?” Jared queried, “Where are we going with this?”
“Sandrine,” he muttered in answer, “Ben tells they’re lovers.”
He waited, to see if the others in the room had listened, “So I’m guessing she’s involved, somehow…”
“Hmmmm, talking of Trevor,” Ben drawled slowly, “he’s checking on some things for me, as we speak.”
Jared turned to look at his friend, “Ever the planner.”
Ben just grinned: of the two of them, it was true he was the planner. Yet that said, Jared’s determination, nay downright stubborn streak, was just as useful as Ben’s ability to plan, his friend considered.
Moreover, it would take the pair working in tandem to solve this one, or so it seemed.
Summers had been crestfallen, at first; but Celine was his sole concern right now; the same as it was for Jared and Ben.
“I’m glad you came to me Ben. Yumi’s been an Albatross round my neck for way too long…”
“Howso?” Ben quizzed, his right eyebrow arched.
“Stuff she knows, like where I got Alice from…”
At his slave’s name, Jared turned ashen.
“I’ll be back in five minutes,” he exclaimed hurriedly and left the room.
For a moment Ben and The Major looked at one another in bemusement.
Finally Summers broke the long seconds of silence and pronounced, “Well, I’m sure we’ll find out what was so important soon enough.”
The tension in the air had been broken: and, when Jared returned to the small office, he found to his consternation that both men were laughing.
“So what was so important?” They both answered in unison.
“It was the mention of Alice,” he began, looking at the toes of his boots.
“Uh-huh,” Ben nodded in acknowledgement.
“Well…” Jared muttered.
“Go on,” The Major prompted, a grin spreading across his face, as he noted the look of embarrassment on the younger man’s face.
“I left her tied up…” he admitted, looking suitably abashed.
Again, both Summer’s and Ben began laughing: they just couldn’t help it.
Jared just stood there, listening to their infectious laughter and soon Jared too was laughing.
And suddenly, Ben’s phone rang.

Trevor knelt before his master, hands on his knees.
He was naked and calm, at last.
For days, weeks, what seemed months, he’d been lent to Mistress Yumi, as a lazy slave, who needed re-education.
“After all,” he’d heard his Master say to her, “we all know you have training techniques that Celine would not use, techniques that work.”
It had been flattery for her benefit. Yet, it had worked: for within the hour, his Master had a slave in her camp as it were, ready to pass on anything of import. And, there would be: Ben knew that.
So, as hours turned into days and days turned into weeks, Trevor had watched and listened to all that happened at her home, as he had endured a rigorous regime of re-training.
Then, finally he had something to tell his Master. So he’d waited, waited until Yumi was bathing; and then, he’d run.
Ben paced back and forth, hands clasped behind his back.
“So…” he drawled, “tell me that again…”
Trevor looked up.
“She had a visitor. Chevy. The barman from Marley’s…”
“And?” Ben had heard the tale once, but needed to hear it again, while he decided how best to act.
“He was there to sell information to her. Though…”
Trevor paused, deep in thought.
“It seemed to me that she has something on him…”
“Go on!” Ben snapped, “What did he say?”
“He arrived late on. An… an, he was telling Yumi that ‘The Major’ was definitely going through with the sale…”
“And?”
“Well it was something she said. She’d said ‘Celine must’ve known of his purchase and even if she didn’t mind about it, then maybe the law would.’”
“The law?” Ben muttered.
He’d known his teacher had a life before this now and knew that she talked of that time rarely: ‘But the law? Celine had to know of this…”
Ben picked up his mobile and rang Celine’s private number.
No answer.
Ben looked at his watch.
Celine should be at the club, he told himself frowning.
‘Something is wrong…’ he thought.
Ben looked down at his faithful slave and allowed a smile to slip across his face.
“You did well Trevor. Now go bathe, and then get some rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yes Master,” Trevor acknowledged.
Trevor wanted to do something anything, to ease his Master’s concerns. But, he knew he had done all he could, for now.
“Now leave,” Ben instructed, “I need to think.”
And, just a few miles away Chevy Markham sat in a seedy bar, nursing a scotch.
He should have been working at Marley’s, yet he wasn’t.
Although the money in his pocket felt good in his pocket, he didn’t feel too good about the way he had earned it. In fact, Chevy didn’t feel good about it at all.
He couldn’t help it.
He owed ‘The Major.’
Back in France, all that time ago, John Summers was known as ‘The Major’ was a big man even then, shoulders, chest and further, his charisma.
And that man, that big man in the locale, had given a badly shaven, lank-haired no-mark speed-freak a chance.
‘The Major’ had opened a beach bar; then as that became more successful, he’d opened his first BDSM club. And, the downbeat James Whitman had become Chevy Markham, a muscled and shaven-headed powerful looking barman, loyal to his employer.
It was at that time that Celine had left Summers. And, though no-one knew why, there’d been stories.
Either way, Yumi, Mistress Yumi as she’d become known by then, had been in the background, supplying to his needs.
And although Celine had parted from Summers, their continued friendship and her enmity toward Yumi, had ensured that the fellow felt like a middleman in his own life.
Chevy smiled, as remembered the gulls screech overhead, as they had stood in a light airy room. He sipped at his drink, recalling the scowl of frustration on his employers face.
‘The Major’ had turned, to look out the window, at the blue of the bay.
“Nice place to visit. But, this isn’t for me anymore James... er sorry, Chevy.”
“Why boss?” He had asked, feeling it was called for.
“Why? Too many memories…”
Two day’s later they had left France. They had moved back to the good ole U.S. of A and Summers had taken Chevy Markham with him, to help open Marley’s.
Markham finished his drink, lifting his hand to indicate to the nearest barstaff, a young slip of a thing name of Melanie, looking good in blue denim short shorts, that he wanted a re-fill.
And, as he waited, Chvy thought back, to that call he had received the first time he had seen Yumi walk into Marley’s and the look on her face, as he saw Celine, amongst a small group of people, sitting proud, her head held high, her long black hair and high cheekbones part of her proud heritage, Native Cherokee.
That was the night he had realised that there would be trouble: ‘that look’ had been the giveaway.
And, the money in his pocket weighed hard, as hard as the mobile in his other pocket, which he got out.
He flipped it open and dialled: “Mister Summers,” he began, “there’s something that I have to tell you. But first, I have to ask, ‘Is Sandrine there?’”
Markham heard ‘The Major’s response and smiled, then began to talk.
