Commander Murphy's Woman

By: Grey Eagle 286



Commander Andrew David Augustus Murphy, U.S. Navy (Retired) sat in his lounge chair and watched the Fox News Channel. He was not pleased with what he saw. He was disgusted with the way the war in Iraq was going. Having a fair amount of experience in the Mid-East he was of the opinion that bringing all the factions together in a common government was next to impossible. Every Iraqi was loyal to his tribal background and not to the country. It was going to be tough. They understand fear and backstabbing but not democracy.

Americans were too soft and ignorant to vote intelligently in any election. He wished there were an intelligence test required for eligibility for voting. God knows no business could survive if the CEO had to give the lowest manual laborers a vote in his running of that company. How can you let people who can't even read the ballot have the right to vote. He picked up the remote and clicked off the TV.

He heard a throat cleared behind him. "Yes, What is it?"

"Sir, there is a young lady here to see you."

"What? How did she get through security? 

"Sir we think she followed the delivery truck through the gate. She insists you will want to see her. She is very attractive, Sir."

"Oh! All right. Show her in."

He heard high heels clicking down the hallway. The sound entered his den then went silent on the carpet. He turned and saw a small beautiful woman watching him. She was dressed in a black business suit. It did not conceal her statuesque figure. In spite of her tiny size she had a regal appearance. He was impressed. Her auburn hair was in a crown braid that enhanced that aura with the high heels. Only the small purse tightly gripped in the small hands showed her to other than the relaxed and cool mannered person she appeared.

He stood and smiled at her. "Please be seated Madam, how may I be of service to you."

"Mr. Murphy, my name is Mrs. Angela Petrelli. My father told me a hundred times growing up that if all seemed lost and I felt my very life was in danger I should come and see you." He passed away a month ago and I am desperate. I don't know where to turn."

"Did you say your name was Angela?"

"Yes I did."

"Mrs. Petrelli you have my sympathies over your great loss. May I ask who your father was?"

"His name was Nicholas Bartrum."

Andy rose from his chair. He walked to the window and stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He stood for several moments motionless. He bowed his head for a minute, the wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and turned and looked at her. He walked to the desk and reached and pulled a yellow Post-it square from where it was stuck above the phone. He handed the paper to her.

She looked down, it read, 'Check on Nick B.'

He said, "I put that there last night. I hadn't done anything about it yet. God! I am so sorry to hear that." He stared at the girl. "ANGELA, little Angie, the last time I saw you, you were about fifteen or sixteen years old. So now you are what, 28? How is your mom, Sue?'

"She passed away about four months ago, Dad just didn't see any point in going on with out her." She watched as the tears coursed down the tall man's cheeks. She felt tears on her own cheeks She closed her eyes and bowed her head. She felt a gentle finger raise her head. A soft touch with a handkerchief wiped away her tears. He led her to a couch and sat her there. He sat beside her and held her hand.

"How can I help you Angela."

"It is my daughter, Molly. My husband, Rem, kidnapped her and threatens to kill her if I don't return to him by her birthday, Valentines Day. I just don't know what to do. We ran from him because he was so abusive to both of us. He beat me very often, and then he slapped Molly because I didn't please him. He hit her so hard her eye swelled completely shut."

Andy saw tears start from the girl's eyes again. He reached in a drawer in the side table next to him and handed her a box of tissues.

"Rem?"

"It's short for Remington."

"Do you have any idea of where he is?"

"He says he is within a hundred miles of where we lived in Gainesville. I can only contact him by a cell phone. He lets me talk to Molly, my baby every other evening at six. It is one of those prepaid phones and I just press speed dial #1 and he answers. The face is destroyed so you can't read it."

"Tell me about this man you married."

"He is extremely wealthy, tall, blond hair, very well build, strong. He works out every day and has a karate black belt. He likes to hurt people and dominate them. He considers himself to be the Master and everyone else is his submissive. If you don't obey he hurts you. He rules or dominates through pain. He has both male and female sex slaves."

"How in the world did you end up marrying him?"

"He seemed like a nice loving guy until two months after we were married. I found out I was pregnant and he was furious. He told me I was supposed to be his beautiful slim sexy bride. He hates pregnant women. He never had sex with me again."

"We have less than a month in which to find he and your daughter. Do you have any clues?"

"He always calls the place 'the castle.' I have never been there."

"Hmmm. I'll get my people on it. I have a man I want you to talk to. He is one of the best at finding people. He does it without ever leaving his office."

He took her hand, "Does he have you watched or followed?"

"Yes, both. 24/7."

"Were you followed here?"

"No. I'm positive they didn't follow me. I took a cab to the bank and went in the front and right out the back and into another cab I had waiting. He dropped me at a Mall and I went through that to a car rental and rented a car. I took a round about route to a girlfriend's house. She lives in a development with only one gated entrance. After I entered I parked where I could watch the gate for ten minutes. No one at all entered. She had a car she was going to trade on a new one and I had arranged to buy it from her for cash. I paid all the cabs and everything with cash. The car I rented I rented for ten days. It is in my friends garage."

Andy grinned at her. "Honey, I think you did it. You are a pretty sneaky little girl."

"I learned it listening to you and Daddy talk about your exploits."

"Girl, I loved your Daddy. He was my 'Daddy" too. In the Seals, a rookie is assigned to an old timer who becomes his 'Daddy' and shows him the ropes. I was an Ensign, went from the Academy right in to Seal training. I was assigned to a Seal team when I graduated. I was a platoon commander. Your Daddy was my Chief Petty Officer. I knew nothing about the real world and was smart enough to know it. Your dad knew it too. We got along really well. Like I said, he was like a father to me. We served together for a lot of years off and on. He saved my bacon many times and my life several times. He was the best man with a knife I ever saw."

She smiled at him. For the first time he saw the beauty of her face when she smiled. He felt it clear to his toes. He was silent for a full minute. She pointed, "I think that is one of his knives over there on that plaque." 

"You have a good eye. Not many girls would recognize a knife like that."

"I grew up playing with them. He made my first one for me when I was six."

Suddenly a knife appeared in his hand. "Like this?" He said and handed it to her.

She examined it carefully. She kissed it. "Yes, that is one of Daddy's. Here is his mark."

He grinned at her, "I don't imagine he taught you how to use it did he?" 

She laughed, his heart jumped. "He sure did."

"Here girl. Look over in front of the window. That is my target. Show me." She saw the section of a log mounted in front of the huge window. \

Her arm rose up and whipped forward. The knife hit the center of the target with a thunk. She giggled. Her arm flipped again and a second knife hit beside the first. Her smile sent a shiver down his spine. He stared at her. She said, "Are you all right?"

"Ungg! Yeah, you are Nicky's Daughter all right. I cannot tell you how much I regret I didn't keep a closer track of him after he retired. When I resigned I lost contact with him for 2 years. It was only about a year ago I found him again. I only saw him once. We kept planning to get together but it never worked out. Every thing I have is at your disposal. I have a lot. Finding people and dealing with them one way or another is what I do. Don't look at me like that. I don't kill anyone. Although in this case I may make an exception.

"Let's get back to your problem. Are you going to go back to Gainesville?"

"No, I can't do anything to help from there. I'll go crazy setting there doing nothing, then the only option I have left is to go back to him. That is what I will have to do if we can't rescue Molly."

"Were you able to bring any clothes with you?"

"No, if I carried a bag they would be suspicious and be alert to watch me closer."

"You did just right. Please stand up for me. Thank you, how tall are you, about five or five one?"

"Five even and ninety pounds."

"God girl, you are absolutely beautiful."

"Why thank you Commander Murphy."

"Please, it's Andy. OK?"

"Yes, Andy." She saw him walk to the desk and push a button. "Martha, please come in the den. Thank you."

The door opened and a very attractive woman entered. She smiled at Angela and said, "Yes Andy, how can I help?"

"Martha this is a dear friend, Angela. She is in trouble and is in hiding. She has only what is on her back to wear. Can we help her?"

Martha stepped to Angela and looked her up and down. "Oh! She is so small I don't think anything I have will fit her. Sally is even larger. How wide would they be searching for her?"

Andy looked at Angela. "What? Just Gainesville, State wide, Nationally?"

"No, probably just Gainesville, I don't believe he has the resources to have even a statewide search in effect so soon."

Martha grinned, "Wanna go shopping girl?"

"What woman doesn't want to go shopping, I have some cash left."

"Where do you want to take her Martha?"

"Ocala is closest, there is a good mall there. It's only 45 minutes away."

"OK, here is the plan, I want to let Angela give some information to Jeff. That should take an hour. Martha, you get Dave and BBB to drive and guard you guys. When she is finished with Jeff we'll have lunch and then you guys go shopping, use the household card. Let her save her cash. Get her everything she will need for a month, she may be with us that long."

"Will do Andy, I'll keep you advised."

Angela watched Martha leave the room. "She is lovely and very nice, how long have you been married?"

Andy laughed, "Honey we are not married, I love her but not that way. I have known her all her life. She has worked for me for about six years now. She does everything, runs the house and takes care of the home and housekeeping chores. Oh! She doesn't do it herself she has it done by the staff. She rules the place with an iron hand. But you know what, every single person that works for us loves her, like I said, me too. Come on girl I want you to meet Jeff."

She rose gracefully and took the hand he offered. He led her out the door and then opened another door and led her down a flight of stairs to a hallway and at the first door they reached he pressed his thumb on a small glass plate. The door opened and he led her in. A tall thin gaunt man looked around from a huge desk or console holding six computer monitors. The man grinned, "Hi Andy! Who is the gorgeous doll?"

"Jeff, this is Angela. Do you remember Chief Nick? This is his daughter. She needs our help."

"This is little Angie? God she is beautiful; how is Nick?"

"Jeff, he died a month ago." Andy told Jeff Angela's problem. Jeff growled, "We'll find the mother fucker for you, I'll kill him myself."

Angela turned to Andy, put her arms around his waist and held him tightly, she sobbed, "I just want my baby back."

She felt his big arms surround her and gently hold her. His lips pressed against her head. "Don't cry Sweetheart, we'll find her. We will." She lifted her head and looked into his eyes, "Promise, Andy? You told me once when I was a teenager that you would never ever break a promise to me."

He leaned forward and softly pressed his lips to her eyes and then to the tip of her nose. "I remember telling you that, I promise, Sweetie, I'll never let you down."

He handed her his handkerchief. She dabbed at her eyes. She half smiled and sniffed, "I miss my baby so much, I am afraid for her."

Jeff snarled, "I'll kill that motherfuckingcocksuckingsonofabitch if I get my hands on him. Sit down Angie. Boss, let me do my thing with her. Come and get her in thirty minutes, then I'll need to see her again sometime this evening or tomorrow. Send coffee and sliders I'm here 'til I find that motha'."

Andy left the room as he heard Jeff say, "What is his full name and mailing address? Where is he originally from?" Andy closed the door quietly behind him and went to the security office. He saw BBB and Dave checking their guns.

"Guys, I want you to guard Martha and another girl today with your lives. Do you remember Chief Nick, well the other girl is his daughter, he died last month and she is in trouble. Someone may try to snatch her or worse. I don't think they know where she is but take no chances. OK?"

"Boss are you talkin''bout lil' Angie?"

"Yep, she grew up guys and her husband beat the shit outta her and her baby girl. He snatched the baby after they ran off and says he'll kill the baby if she doesn't come back to him. That ain't gonna happen."

"You are goddamned right Boss, we won't let it happen. Somebody gets hurt or killed it's going to be him."

"She ran off with just the clothes on her back, you guys are taking them shopping, I don't expect trouble but I wanted you to know what the situation is, act accordingly."

"Aye Aye! Boss. We will keep our eyes open."

Later that afternoon he heard a tap on his door, "Come!" he said. He turned and saw Angela and Martha enter the room. Martha smiled, "Andy she is in good shape for clothes now. This little girl is the best shopper I have ever seen. She knows her stuff and how to get things cheap. Every thing looks good on her if you can find her size. I'll go again any time you want."

"Good did you find a room for her?"

I put her in the 'family' guest room next to you so we won't need a night guard for her. That OK?"

"I don't mind. I don't know about her."

Angela looked up at him, "Good, if there is a thunder storm at night I'll know where to run."

"Are you still afraid of thunder storms?"

"Only at night and only if I am alone."

"I remember Nick telling how you would run and jump in the bed between he and your Mom. He said otherwise you weren't afraid of anything."

"Well I don't know about that but we just wanted to let you know we were back. I want to go change now."

"Fine when you are all squared away come on back and I'll give you the grand tour of the place."

"It will be about a hour, I have lots to put away." 

"That's fine I'll be right here. Do you want Martha to give you a hand?"

"I would love it but she has done enough already. I can't thank her enough. I didn't recognize Dave and BBB, Big Bad Bart, when I saw them." 

"Yeah they have aged a bit but they are still two of the deadliest men I know. Did they watch over you?"

"Like two mother hens. They are so sweet the way they protect us. Some poor guy would get too close and they would herd him away. Martha and I were afraid to ask but one time a couple of guys moved in to talk to us when we were in the food court getting a coke. BBB took them a little bit aside. They were laughing at him and he said something, they both turned pale and left as fast as they could go without running."

"I don't know but they are both very persuasive when they want to be."

Angie and Martha left and Andy went back to studying the map. He stood staring at the map. Suddenly he turned and walked to his desk. He sat and looked at his hands. Shit, he didn't know what to do. All he had seen for the hour he had looked at the map was Angela. He just was not able to concentrate. The girl's face haunted him. No woman had done this to him before. She was ten years younger than him. God she was beautiful! He heard something and looked up to see Martha looking at him. "Oh! Hi! Err ah, what's up?"

"Angela is changing. She'll be down soon. Are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm fine. Just fine."

"Fine, what day is this?"

"Hun? What?"

"Andy how are you coming on the Porter contract?"

"Who?"

"Andy, the Porter contract!"

"Her hair is a lovely auburn color and her eyes are green."

"Oh my God! HONEY, LOOK at ME."

"Hun! What are you shouting about?"

"The Porter account. How is it coming?"

"Hey, I finished it an hour ago. What's the big deal?"

"I was wondering about what you think about Angie?"

"Angie?" A smile spread over his face. "Angie is just wonderful, beautiful, and very smart too."

Martha looked at him, "Andy, she is ten years younger than you. She has a child."

"Girl I know all that, I just can't help how I feel. You know I meet and am exposed to beautiful girls all the time. None have done this to me. None. I'll never tell her. I'll just live with it."

"Andy, I'm so sorry. I really am." A tear ran down her cheek.

Andy looked up and grinned, "Speak of the Devil, did you get everything put away?"

"I sure did, what do you think?" She wore jeans, tight jeans, and a cute sweater. He hair was in pigtails. Andy's heart stopped. He stammered, "NNNice, Vvery nice. When you get out of high school let me know."

"Oh Andy!" 

"Girl you look so young, you look adorable. Did you get a jacket or something to wear outside it is cooling off a bit?"

"Yes I did, I left it outside the door on the chair."

Martha said, "Honey if he tries to put you in a red four wheeler, run for a cammo one. The red one is his personal hot rod. Hang on for dear life."

"Oh come on Martha I haven't hurt a soul yet."

"OH yeah! What about all the ones huddled in the basement babbling and drooling all over themselves."

"Weaklings." Andy and Martha grinned at each other. Andy grabbed Angie's hand and led her out the door grabbing her jacket as they went.

They went out the door and he held her jacket for her to put on. He led her to a small area where several Yamaha Rhino side-by-side four-wheelers were parked. There was only one red one there. Angela pulled away from him and ran straight to it. He shook his head. He caught up with her and pulled her to the driver's side.

"Get in girl, have you driven one of these before?"

"No, I haven't, I have driven the kind with the saddle and bike handlebars you ride like a horse."

"Ok, this is more like a car. It has a steering wheel and an automatic transmission. Put your seat belt on snuggly. Here is the key. It goes here. Good. To start you have to be in Neutral or press in on the brake pedal and turn the key. There you go. Beautiful! These lights show what gear it's in. I'm in, now start it up. Good, are you all set? Ok, just press on the accelerator, the harder you push the faster you go."

They trundled along slowly and Andy directed her to turn down a dirt road. The road ahead was straight. He said, "Give it some gas, hit it!" She pressed on the accelerator and the little vehicle leapt ahead. The engine rose to a snarl and she letup on the gas pedal. He leaned to her and said, "Are you scared?" She grinned and shook her head.

"Then put the pedal to the metal for a minute and see how she goes. The snarl climbed rapidly to a roar and the Rhino flew down the road. It just skipped and glided over bumps. She saw a turn ahead. He said, "Slow a little, then as your get set up in the turn feed the fuel to it as much as you are comfortable with. It will tell you when to back off. She was almost through the turn when it appeared the car wasn't turning sharp enough. He felt her back off. "No" he screamed, "hit it hard. She stamped on the pedal and the engine screamed. The rear end kicked around and they were through the turn. She slowed and stopped. She looked at him with her hands on her the wheel. A huge grin spread over her face, "Wow! That was great. I love this little buggy."


Commander Murphy's Woman



Andy grinned back, "Me too! Now just go on down the road and you will see a narrow turn between two trees. Enter it slowly; there is not much room. Good. Follow this twisty trail. See how it is banked around the turns? Now look, see the pond ahead? The trail runs all the way around the ponds. It is like a figure eight. It is mostly sand with a few roots and other bumps along the way and there are a few wiggles in the trail. At the far end down there is some real rough terrain for you to try. Now go at what ever speed you are comfortable with." 

Angela pressed on the gas pedal and they roared off. She squealed with glee as the hit a 'wiggle' where the trail turned one way and then back the other way. The little four-wheeler went through like it was on rails. Andy had her stop. He pushed a button on the dash. "You are now in four wheel drive. In the turns it will turn tighter but you will not be able to kick the back end around like you did before with a burst of power. Back off if you can't turn sharp enough." She drove with ever increasing skill and confidence. 

He loved watching the smile of joy and accomplishment on her face. After two trips around the figure eight he had her stop. He took the vehicle out of four-wheel drive. He reached over and shut the machine off. He said, "Get out and stretch your legs a little. He went behind the buggy and dropped the little tailgate and sat on it. He swung her up beside him. "What do you think of my little toy?"

She turned and looked at him, "It is certainly no toy. That is one serious machine. Wow. I can't believe the power the engine has. You think it won't make the turns but it goes around really well. I don't think I ever felt a wheel come off the ground. Andy I love that. I just can't remember having so much fun."

He smiled gently at her, "I am glad you liked it. I want to show you what else it can do. Hop in I'll drive for a while." When they were strapped in he drove in an opening in the woods and brush along the trail. The path he followed was very twisty, weaving through trees and over logs Angie didn't think the Rhino would cross. He just let the vehicle crawl over the obstacles.

He entered an area of swampy ground. Grasses grew on top of mud and water. She could see the path he was following. The path turned and a narrow pair of ruts half filled with water lay ahead. She could see the path twist and turn through trees and stumps. Downed trees were everywhere. The little vehicle eased into the ruts and crawled around a corner to the right. The right rear rose alarmingly on top of a submerged log or stump. Then she felt it stop as if against a wall. The left rear wheel spun. He shifted in reverse and the wheel spun again without moving the buggy. He looked at her. "Think you can walk home from here?"

She looked at him, "It will be messy but I guess we can make it."

"Good girl, you have spunk. Let's try four-wheel drive first." He pressed the button on the dash. She heard the motor strain and as he added power the rear end and the front end climbed slowly over the obstacles. It slowly eased down on the other side. They moved slowly along, with the wheels alternately or simultaneously crawling over the submerged logs. After a few minutes they crawled up onto dry ground. They turned and twisted through the woods and came back to the road around the ponds. He eased onto the path and took the four-wheel drive off. 

He grinned at her. "Hang on. It's my turn to play. The engine screamed and the buggy hurled down the trail, through the wiggles and into the turns, bursts of power snapped the rear end around just in time to avoid disaster time after time. Her knuckles were white when he backed off and ducked through the twisty little trail to the main road. He slowed to a stop and turned to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't scare you did I?"

"Hell no, Andy, I knew you wouldn't let me get hurt. I knew I was watching a master of this little beast at work. I loved it more than I can say. I might be ale to force down a fairly strong adult beverage very soon though. Just to ease my nerves a tad."

"Right." The engine started and instantly roared as they lunged ahead. In minutes they screamed into the driveway and skidded into the parking place." He shut the engine off and jumped out. He hurried around and effortlessly lifted her from her bucket seat. He gently set her on her little feet. "We are home my lady." He placed her hand on his arm and walked sedately to the front door. When they were inside he stopped and he carefully examined her and himself. He told her he was seeing how muddy they were. Amazingly they found only one single drop of muddy water on his sleeve.

Later that night, after dinner, they sat on the couch. She turned to face him, her knees on the couch too. She looked at him and smiled. "Andy that was so sweet of you to take me on that ride. I love you for doing that. It did get my mind off my darling baby for a few minutes. I needed that." He saw the tears seep from her eyes and his heart melted. 

"Angela, Sweetheart, please don't cry. I know you don't believe me but all my people are hard at work trying to find Molly. I have never put all of them on one case at once before. Never. Even cases we have done for the President of the United States on a matter of vital National concern even got half of them. That cost the taxpayers of this country twenty million dollars before it was over. We did find our man incidentally."

"Oh Andy I know you are doing everything you can and I love you for it."

"Please believe me. If I thought I could help I would be in there with them. I have learned to leave them alone and not bother them during this stage of an investigation. They are working on this from many different angles as we speak. One or more threads of information will eventually lead us to him. My guys know all the tricks people use to try and hide and they know all of the mistakes they make that give them away.

When he is located then I go to work. I have a crew of my best men gathering here now. It will take a few days to get them all here. I don't know how many it will take but I don't want to have to look for them when we need them." She looked at him, "Andy I need to help too. I will go nuts just sitting around waiting."

"Hey girl, you have helped and will soon be called on to help more. When we get leads we will need you to help us. The guys will want to have you answer questions pretty soon. That will be a session where any of them can ask you questions about your husband. The better your answers the quicker and easier it will go. One little clue may give us the answer. Something that may seem trivial and unimportant can solve the riddle. Oh! You'll get your chance all right. Right now my job is to get you relaxed and your mind on pleasant thoughts so you will be fresh for your quiz."

"That will be easy for me; all I have to do is think of you, Andy. You have always been my favorite thing to think out when I want to cheer up."

"What?"

"Yes big guy, this little babe has had a crush on you for years. God I yearned for you. I thought the sun rose and set in you. I guess I have never gotten over it. Just looking at you fills me with nice sweet thoughts. I wish I- -I wish you--maybe we—Oh Andy I have always loved you. 

You have always been my hero. Daddy knew how I felt. He said it was just not to be and to forget you, I tried, and I really tried hard. Never worked though. You creep into my mind every day. Just a silly girl's dream I guess. It is wonderful for me just being near you."

"Girl, are you serious?"

"Please don't laugh, I do love you."

"I can't laugh, I can only cry. I have loved you since you were a teenager. I was twenty five years old, you were a child. I fought my feelings for you for years. You were so sweet, so tiny, so perfect, so innocent and so untouchable for me. Every other woman I ever met never could stir the passion in me that you did with a smile. You ruined me for all other women. As you grew older the feelings grew stronger. I just had to stay away from you. I had to stay away from your dad too. I know he thought I forgot him but I didn't. I had to stay away from you."

Angie stared at him, "Really?" 

"Yeah really. I was a pervert. I lusted after a child. I had to stay away. I had erotic dreams about you. I was afraid to be anywhere near you I was afraid I might loose control and force myself on you, rape you."

"Dear Andy, that would have never have been possible. From the first time I learned what sex was I wanted it with you. I would have been willing."

"It still would have been wrong, it still would be rape. I could have never done that to an innocent child, especially to one I loved beyond all reason. I did the only thing I could."

She looked in his eyes; she lifted and moved close to him. She took his face between her little hands. "Andy, do you still love me?"

"Oh God yes, more than ever."

"Then kiss me. Just once for now. Then we both need to be strong and concentrate on saving my little Molly."

"Girl, you are right. One kiss and I just turn off a lust I haven't escaped for a dozen years. Yeah, tell me how?"

"Andy I have the same problem. You just don't understand, Molly is never out of my mind. The best I can do is to push her off a little but she is still there." They looked into each other's eyes. Andy placed a big hand tenderly on each side of her face. He leaned forward and pulled her gently towards him. She moved towards him. He pressed his slightly parted lips softly on hers. He felt her hands slide around his neck. His hands left her face and enclosed her body in a warm embrace. Her tongue traced the line of his lips and then slipped between them and found his waiting tongue. She heard a low moan escape his throat. She held him tighter. She wanted him and she knew he wanted her. She felt his erection in his jeans. Her panties were getting wet. She knew the crotch of her jeans would soon be wet too. She pushed away from him. She twisted and jumped from the couch and then ran from the room.

Andy watched her go. He wondered what he had done wrong.

He lay in his bed and listened to a thunderstorm in the distance. He prayed it would move over them. It didn't.

The next morning he entered the kitchen at six and saw Angela looking in cupboards. "Can I help you find something?" She jumped, startled.

"Martha told me she would be in late, Bob, her husband, had a Doctor's appointment, so I thought I would start a frittata for breakfast for us."

"Let me get everything out for you. The pans are in here. Here is a spatula. I see you have eggs, cheese, ham, peppers, potatoes, and onions out. Let me guess, you want a 12 inch cast iron skillet, right?"

"How did you know?"

"I suspect that the same guy taught both of us how to make one."

She pulled him down and kissed his cheek. She whispered, "I love you. Did you sleep well last night?"

"No, I couldn't get to sleep. An angel kept me awake. How about you?"

She smiled, "I heard a storm in the distance and prayed it would find me."

Andy laughed, "You too?" They stood and smiled at each other, Andy got a cutting board from a drawer. He put a Chinese cleaver on the board. "Do you want to do the chopping or do you want me to do it?"

"I'll watch you, Andy. Martha told me you are a very good cook, really super with a lot of things. As a matter of fact She thinks you can do anything." 

"What do you mean by that!"

"I just mean that Marsha thinks the world of you."

"Did she tell you we love each other?"

"Yes she did, and I thought I would die, until she told me she is your sister."

Andy reached for Angie's hands. He pulled her close to him. He looked in her eyes. "Girl I want to kiss you, and hold you, and never let you go. We can't do that. We need to be focused on only one thing this morning. Finding Molly."

As he spoke he started chopping the potatoes, peppers and onions.

"Sweetheart get the eggs cracked into that mixing bowl and beat them well." He put butter in the skillet and turned on a burner on under it. He glanced at the eggs Angie was beating, he swirled the melted butter around the skillet. He stirred the peppers and onions in the sauté pan. He took the mixing bowl from her and asked her to chop the ham into small cubes. He watched the butter until it was very hot, just before it started to burn he sliced the potatoes into the bottom of the skillet. Angela spread the half cooked veggies and the ham over the potatoes. He turned and went to the coffee maker and poured two cups. They sat and sipped the hot brew looking at each other.

Angie grinned and shook her head. Andy said, "What?" She smiled, "You wouldn't believe how many time I have fantasized about this."

He looked puzzled.

"I dreamed of setting across a breakfast table from you sipping coffee in the morning." 

"Really?"

"Yeah! Little girl dreams, big girl dreams too."

"I like it. A whole lot." Andy smiled and got up and went to the stove to check on the frittata.

Angie moved close beside him and held his arm tightly. He could feel the warmth of her breast against it. He jabbed the potatoes with a fork, they were tender so he put two large hands full of shredded cheese over the top then poured the eggs over everything. He turned the broiler on. When the eggs were all most set he slipped the skillet in under the broiler. He left the oven door open and they stood and watched as it slowly browned.

"Honey, get a couple of plates from that cupboard over there. Yes, Great! Now how much can you eat?" She giggled, "Not quite half of it."

"Want anything else with it?"

"No, just ketchup."

"Ah, a connoisseur of fine frittatas." 

She laughed, "Daddy taught me to cook them just like that and he always ate his with ketchup and a little hot sauce."

He chuckled, "I forgot the hot stuff." They both watched the other eat. They enjoyed the breakfast and the company. When they were finished he said, "I leave the dishes for the kitchen crew. That way they don't have to be here so early and they are only responsible for lunch and dinner. Martha says as long as I have to fix my own breakfast I won't get too big for my britches."

"She is a smart lady and I really loved shopping with her. She is almost as sweet as her brother. I like her a lot."

"I think she knows how I feel about you. I think she is afraid I'll get hurt."

"OH Andrew Murphy! I could never do anything to hurt you. If I can help it." 

"IF you can help it?"

"If you feel about me like I feel about you, I know it would hurt you if I had to go back to Rem to save Molly."

"I would never fault you for that."

"Oops! My pager just went off." He looked at the little gadget and remarked, "Jeff is ready for you now, let's go."

Andy took her arm just before they entered Jeff's domain. He turned her gently to face him; he softly kissed her lips, "Girl, that breakfast with you has just become my favorite dream." He saw a tear run from her eye. She rubbed it away. 

"I know, me too."

Jeff grinned when they entered. "Angie, girl, good news, we think we found him. He is only about 60 miles from Gainesville or 105 miles from here." He owns 125 acres of swampland out there. It has an abandoned tethered balloon site on it from back in the 60s or 70s. Here are some satellite photos of it. You can see it has several buildings, a double barbed wire fence around the couple acres of dry ground. The big concrete circle was the balloon launch and retrieve site. The balloon carried a radar and was known as 'Fat Albert'. It flew on a long cable as high as a mile. The radar covered a huge area watching for drug smugglers.

"Only one road in and out of there. Looks like a paved road with one bridge over a creek and has a power and phone line."

Angie looked up at Andy. "I think that's it. It is protected by where it is located just like a castle and all the two rows of barbed wire, just like a modern castle."

"We'll have people checking it out within an hour, Angie." Said Jeff. Andy asked, "How many men are you sending?"

"Well we can't get too close real soon. We have a communications intercept team enroute. He is communicating by cell-phone with Angie and we can work with that. Hopefully he is using Alltel, we have good luck with them and we suspect that is only one of three companies that have coverage out there."

"Angie has a phone he gave her to communicate with him at certain times."

"Bring it down girl and call from where my guys can detect the frequencies it sends and receives. They will know the company in seconds."

"Jeff, I assume you are getting an observation post in place to watch the access road."

"Right, we need to know how they get supplies and such. We'll learn a lot in the next few days hopefully."

Andy explained to Angie, "Sweetie, we can't just go rushing in without knowing how many people he has there. We have to try and find out what security forces he has, if any. I would like to surprise him so he doesn't have a chance to harm Molly. We need to know if the ground surrounding the place is passable by vehicle or by airboat only. We have to find away through the two fences without a lot of noise." He brushed his lips gently across her forehead. "Girl can you think of anything that might help?"

"Not really, I do know he has a very low opinion of the Law Enforcement people and of the Military. He always says they are all cretins and idiots. Those are his exact words. He thinks anyone with any average intelligence could outwit them."

"Well Honey, I think we are going to have to bring the law in on this very soon. We have a very good relationship with the local law people and help them whenever we can. We never want the credit or publicity so they are happy to work with us. We don't want to be in the position of breaking the law if we don't have to. All of my people are reserve U.S. Government Agents of the Executive Department. I can have us activated at any time. I need a request for assistance from a duly authorized Law Enforcement Agency to make it legal. It will be easy to get that."

Angela looked up at him and smiled, "I feel some real hope now for the first time."

"Good Babe, I am going to be up in my den getting a better look at the satellite pictures. I'm going to blow a bunch of them up. If they don't show current conditions I will order new ones. When Jeff is finished come on up and we'll do lunch."

Later Angie and Andy poured over the satellite pictures with magnifying glasses, marking and discussing spots of interest. Most of the shots were over a year old. Andy requested new pictures of the old site and the area surrounding it. It was only a matter of an hour before Jeff knocked and brought in the pictures. They were much enlarged. Jeff told them that the pictures were of very high resolution and on the big computer in his office the could enlarge any portion to where you could read the label on a soup can on the ground."

Angie said, "Really? That good?"

"Yeah, We can request even higher resolution but it will take a while." 

"Amazing."

Andrew grinned, "A few years ago there was no way we could get anything like these in less than a day or two. Then it would be by aerial photos from a plane."

Jeff said, "Yeah! And they would see and hear the plane and be spooked by it."

Andy put his lips close to Angie's ear, "Would you like to take me for a Rhino ride?"

Angie smiled at him and took his hand and nodded. He grinned back. 

"Jeff, if you need us for anything page me. OK?"

"No problem Adam, we shouldn't have anything new until tomorrow."

They walked hand and hand out to the parking area. Angie remarked, "Did I hear him call you Adam?"

Andy laughed, "Yeah, it has always been my code name because of my initials A D A M."





Commander Murphy's Woman



"Oh! That's cute. Gee, where are all the green Rhinos?"

"Well Babe, three of them went to the west coast to scout around the 'castle'. They are great for that kind of surveillance. We have special mufflers on them, they are quite a bit slower but you can't hear them from about twenty yards away. They can carry 400 pounds of surveillance gear. The others are out on patrol around here. We stepped up security for you." She looked up at him. "Andy, do we need to do that, that has to cost a lot of money."

"Hey, it's damned good training for them. I even have two guys out trying to sneak in here. You will be happy to know they have been caught every time."

"Andy, can we wait until later to go for a ride?"

"Sure Babe, what's wrong. Do you feel OK?"

"Honey, I'm tired. I haven't been able to sleep for several nights. Ever since Rem's guys took Molly. Now for the first time I feel safe and I know we are going to get her back. I would love to take a short nap."

"Done girl, follow me." He took her hand in his and led her back to the house and to her room.

"Go take off your outer clothing and leave your panties and bra on and come into my room. Do you feel comfortable with that?"

"Yes I do, but I really need to rest."

"That is exactly what you are going to get, nothing more."

A few minutes later she entered his room and saw him setting on the side of the bed wearing workout shorts and a t-shirt. He was talking on the phone. "You heard me correctly, the poor girl needs some rest and I am going to damned well make sure she gets it. We'll see you in a couple of hours, OK?" He hung up.

He smiled at her and stood and turned the bed covers down. 

"Get in." He softly told her. He pressed a button and the shades closed darkening the room. He walked to the other side of the bed and crawled in too. He moved close to her and she cuddled up beside him. He leaned to her and gently kissed her. "Sleep now my sweet girl. Nothing can harm you now." He laid back and she put her head on his shoulder. His strong arm pulled her closer, her little hand slipped across his warm chest and settled over his nipple. Her eyes drifted closed and she softly sighed. He felt her breathing slow and she was asleep. He turned his head toward her and tenderly pressed his lips to her head. 

He whispered, "Sleep now my sweet little girl. I love you and you are safe in my arms." He saw her lips curve in a little smile and she snuggled closer. He finally drifted off to sleep himself.

He heard the ding of his alarm and quickly turned it off before the main alarm went off. Angela was still sleeping, thought he would let her sleep a few minutes more. God! She was adorable. He wanted her, really deeply needed her. His cock was rock hard. He knew if he touched it, it would explode. He saw her eyelids flutter. He was as still as he could be. Her lids were still. Then they slowly opened. She looked at him. A smile grew on her beautiful face. He returned the smile. She closed her eyes and slowly rubbed her hand across his chest. She snuggled even closer to him. Her hand slipped down over his chest and his washboard tummy. It slipped up under his t-shirt. The soft hand pushed the hem of the shirt ahead of it. When the little hand reached his nipple it gently played with it. The fingers slowly flipped it back and forth; the thumb and forefinger tenderly pinched it. She raised her head and moved so her lips closed around his nipple. He softly moaned. He felt her tongue push the nipple from side to side. Then he felt her suck on the nipple. He groaned again. She lifted her head and smiled at him.

"Do you like that my love?"

"Oh! Yes! I love that."

"So do I. Forgive me but I just have to pee. Which way?"

He pointed "Over there through the door." He watched her hurry through the door. After a few minutes he heard the shower start. He sat up on the side of the bed and opened the shades a little. The shower stopped, She walked out with a towel around her and grinned at him.

"This must be your towel, it smells just like you. I love rubbing your smell all over me. I smelled you all during our nap. And I knew you were holding me too! It was wonderful. It was the best nap I have ever had. I just can't believe how comfortable you are. We just have to do that often."

He reached for her and pulled her to him. His lips found hers. He kissed her passionately. She pulled back. He saw tears in her eyes. 

Andy said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I guess I spoiled it for you now."

She stared at him, "Andy, stop being silly," She pushed him and he fell across the bed. She jumped on him and straddled his chest, "You have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong." She kissed him hard on the lips, and then kissed his eyes and his nose.

"You cried."

"Yes I cried, I cried for joy because I am so happy to be with you. I had to take a shower because I didn't want you to see that my panties were soaking wet. You did that by just kissing me. I wanted you so damned much when we got in bed together I didn't know what to do. But I knew you were right, I desperately needed the sleep. I feel like a new girl now."

"Oh shit!"

"What?"

"I love the old one."

"Not that new, maybe refreshed would be a better word. I am going to go slip on some jeans and a warmer top and we can check with Jeff and then go riding." She ran out the door. He smiled; there would never be a dull moment with her around. 

Jeff had nothing new yet. They were getting lots of reports in but they had to be analyzed as yet. 

Andy directed Angie onto a different dirt road today. They turned on a long straight road. He leaned over and told her that this was the perimeter road around his property. There was a chain link fence on the left. They were about half way down the road when a Rhino painted in green camouflage colors pulled out and blocked the way. Angie stopped and looked at Andy. He gently placed his big hand over hers. He said, "It's OK Babe. He is ours."

The driver of the other Rhino waved and another man walked from the woods carrying a rifle. He walked up to Andy, "Hi Boss. Good afternoon Ma'am. Sorry to bother you but we had to check you out."

"No problem Mike, you and Ted have a good day."

The other Rhino pulled out of the way. The driver waved them by as he talked on a radio. Andy told her to drive on. They came to a corner and the road stretched for what appeared to be a mile ahead of them.

"Gosh Honey, how much land do you have here?"

"This is 570 acres of dry land but we also own 70 acres of the adjoining river. That gives us a square mile of land and water. It's a bitch to keep it all mowed." He said with a straight face. She looked at him. Everything she had seen was thick oak forest with only a little lawn near the buildings. She poked his arm, "Yeah! Looks like you let it get away from you a little bit."

He smiled, "You're right, the weeds are a little tall." They went on down the trail and turned again and another straight road lay ahead. Just a quarter of a mile down the road was the main gate with an electric gate. There was no one at the gate and Andy explained that it was controlled from the security office. There were several TV cameras covering the gate. He had Angela turn down the main road and then turn on another paved road. Around another turn they came to a small village. There were twenty-five mobile homes in a group on nice lots. He explained that this was where Jeff and the other workers lived. He was the only person who lived in the main house. She looked up at him, "Me too!"

"Do you really want to?"

"More than you can possibly know."

"I don't think you have seen the whole house yet. Let's check on Jeff and I'll finish showing you around." 

She clapped her hands, "Let's go big guy." He directed her back to the house and the parking area. They got out and he pulled out his phone and keyed a speed dial. "Hey, Jeff, any thing new? OK, keep plugging away. I'll check with you later."

He took her little hand in his large one and pulled her to the door. He led her through the foyer and showed her the living room. She thought it was huge and lovely. The dining room was large too. She remembered the kitchen from earlier but was surprised by the size of the family room on the next level down. It had a huge fireplace and looked out over the river. It opened onto a screened pool and patio. The pool was a freeform pool that looked like a jungle lagoon with lush tropical foliage and a large rock waterfall splashing into the pool. Angela looked up wide- eyed at him, "This is fantastic. I love this. Can we go in?" She ran to the pool and knelt and put her hand in the water. "Oh! It's warm. I can't believe this place. She ran to him and dragged him to an area with a canopy over a wet bar and outdoor kitchen featuring a large grill and griddle. 

He smiled as she ran to the screen and looked out through giant old oak trees over the river forty feet below. There was a dock with several boats moored to it. She turned back to him. "Andy, this has to be the most beautiful house I have ever seen." He smiled, "It is now that you are here." She walked back toward the pool and spread her arms wide and slowly turned, "Look at all this! Did you design this your self?"

"I drew the rough sketches and the architect came up with this." She walked to the side of the pool and looked at it. "I can't wait to dive in there. It is so sparkling clear and clean."

"If it isn't I'll fire the pool girl."

"Pool girl? I thought everyone had pool boys?" 

"Hey! You do it your way and I'll do it mine. My pool girl is about 18 and is cute and curvy. I love to watch her clean the pool in her tiny weenie polka dot bikini."

She looked up at him, her face serious "Does she turn you on?"

"Nope! She is Martha's daughter, Sally, my little niece. A damned cute girl too."

"Andy, were you teasing me?'

"Just a little bit."

She smiled sweetly at him and gently placed her hand on his chest---and shoved him backwards into the pool. 

He came up sputtering, "Why you little bitch--." She dove into the pool and came up, her arms sliding up his chest and around his neck. "Yes, dear, I am your bitch." And she kissed him hard. He grinned and ducked her. He swam to the side of the pool and placing his hands on the coping lifted himself out of the pool. She came up sputtering. She swam to the side of the pool and held her hand up to be pulled from the pool. He extended his hand and lifted her up. As her little rear end cleared the water she grabbed his wrist, brought her knees up and kicked her feet into the side of the pool as she pulled hard on his arm. He went over her head and into the pool. She scrambled out of the pool and ran laughing toward the house.

He recovered quickly and was not far behind her when she stopped and faced him. He stopped and walked to her. She had her arms crossed over her chest, gripping her arms. She shivered and said, "I'm cold, make me warm, please." He picked her up and carried her through a door and into the dressing room there. He set her on her feet and wrapped a large towel around her. He gently picked her up and carried her to his private suite. He took her in his bath and turned on the shower. He said, "Get in the shower, the water will warm you up fast."

She looked at him, "You come too." He was stripping off his clothes and followed her. She was nude when he entered. She pulled him under the shower with her and pressed her body to his, lifting her arms to put them around him. They stood and let the water flow over them. She said, "If you sit on the seat there I will wash your hair for you." He handed her a bottle of shampoo from a shelf and sat on the built in seat.

Her small body was on display before him. He was awe struck. She was perfect. Her auburn hair was long, down to her ass. Her face was flawless. Her breasts were about a C cup he guessed. Perfect for her small frame. The areola was the size of a half dollar with nipples that were thick and over a half inch long. Her tummy was flat and the waist was tiny. There was no sign she was a mother. He couldn't see a single stretch mark. Her mound was smooth shaven and he could see the thin lips of her pussy protruding a little bit. His cock felt as if it would shatter like glass if something hit it.

She poured shampoo on her hands and rubbed it into his hair. Her breasts were in front of his face. He could not resist the invitation and sucked a lovely pink nipple in his mouth. She softly moaned and threw her head back. He took both her breasts in his hands and gently held them, alternately sucking on one nipple after the other.

"OH Andy, that feels so good." She put her hands on each side of his head and tilted it back and pressed her mouth to his. Her tongue slipped between his lips. They kissed feverishly. He stood and pressed her against the tile wall. His hands slipped around her little ass cheeks and firmly held them as he lifted her, kissing her the whole time. She felt his large cock sliding down her flat tummy and then slide between her wide spread legs and touch her pussy. He pressed forward and lowered her. She reached down and guided him into her warm pussy. "Oh God Yes. Umm ung yess. Soooo good. So very damned good. I love it. I really love the way that feels. It's wonderful." 

He looked into her eyes, "Let's dry off and continue this in my bed."

He put her down and turned the water off. He got two fresh towels and handing one to her he began drying her hair vigorously. He said, "Wrap that towel around your hair and I'll put this one around you. He wrapped the towel around under her arms and over her breasts them twisted the ends together and tucked them in.

He quickly dried with another towel then pulled her to his bed, "Jump in and I'll get you warm." She threw the covers back and jumped on the bed. She lay on her back and spread her legs. She smiled as he stared at her lush body. He whispered, "Angela, you are just perfect." He crawled over her leg and eased up until his cock again pressed against her vulva. He reached down and rubbed the head of his hard cock up and down her slit. She closed her eyes and murmured, "Please, I need you now. Please love me and hold me tight. I love you Andy, with all my heart."

He dropped a gob of saliva onto his hand and rubbed over the head of his cock. She felt the soft smooth slippery head of his cock slide slowly between the inner lips of her hot pussy. He tried to enter her slowly and gently but his lust for her was overwhelming. He moved all the way inside her in one slow strong thrust, She was very wet and slippery and screamed her joy at his assault. "Woweeee! My God that is heavenly. Love me harder. OH! Christ, I love that. I have never felt anything so good. Oh! Yes! Just like that my lover, just like that. Yes!"

Andy stroked slowly in and out of the little body beneath him, amazed that she could accommodate his large cock. She was delightfully tight, wet, and warm. The sensations from the friction of the folds and ridges in her sheath wet with her natural lubricant were exquisite. The soft mewing sounds she made and then the sound of her whispering his name was very erotic. Her little hands caressing his back and gently rubbing along his sides and his back added to the sensations and feelings of wonder, contentment and love for her.

She was unaware of the magnitude of the joy he felt from seeing the soft smile of pleasure on her lips. This was his woman, he would kill to keep her or to please her. He would give anything and everything he had to possess her forever.

Meanwhile she knew the man bringing her such great pleasure was her life's partner, her soul mate. She would gladly be his devoted and loving slave. She loved everything about this man, his touch, his smell, the way he tasted, and the way he loved her. She was his, now and forever.

She smiled and looked into his eyes, "What can I do to please you, Andy, just tell me, I'll do it."

"Hush sweet girl, you are giving me the greatest pleasure of my entire life right now. May I cum inside you? I am ready now."

"Oh! Yes! Fill me with your beautiful cum. Cum anywhere, in me or on me that pleases you." She felt his cock grow thicker and plunge deeper inside her and then a pulse of his cock ejected a slug his hot slippery sperm. Then another and another as her vagina grew slipperier and she felt his body stiffen and grow rigid. He moaned deep in his throat then relaxed and his weight pressed down on her for a second before he lifted off her. "NO! OH! NO! I love your weight on me. Stay there please. You feel so good like this."

"I know I am too heavy for you Sweetie, I'm afraid I'll hurt you." 

"Let me lie on you then, Darling, would you like that?" 

"Yes, Oh! That does feel nice. Hey! Wait, I forgot to do something."

"What?"

"You'll see." He rolled her off of him; he scooted down and moved between her legs spreading them wide. His mouth covered her pussy and sucked at her vagina! 

"Oh my God, you're sucking our juices out of my pussy. God, I feel your tongue licking it out. That feels so damned good. Wonderful!"

"If I roll over and you sit on my face I can get more, then you won't have to run to clean up and we can cuddle and enjoy how we feel." She looked in wonder at him and squatted over his face, She felt his tongue spread her pussy lips and slip inside her. His fingers helped support her and also spread her pussy wide open. She felt their cum flow out of her pussy and drip down in his mouth. His tongue licked her clean and he pulled the covers up over them as he climbed up beside her. He took her in his arms and gently kissed her lips. She smiled tenderly at him, "I have waited over half of my life for that; I wasn't disappointed. You are wonderful, every girl's dream, especially mine."

Two hours later they sat at table with Jeff in a room adjoining his office. Three men and two women were there also. The other people were introduced to Angie as Jeff's staff. There was a huge flat screen monitor on the wall facing them. The screen showed an aerial view of the 'Castle'. Jeff pointed out the points of interest. Then he turned to Angie, "Honey here is something special for you." It was a series of pictures of a little child chasing a ball.

"Angie covered her eyes and sobbed, "My Baby, my sweet little girl." She turned to Andy and buried her face against his chest. He held her and gently pressed his lips to her hair. He whispered of his love for her and tried to comfort her.

Jeff said, "Honey those pictures were taken about a hour ago so we know she is fine."

Angie's head jerked up, "An hour ago?" 

"Yes, just an hour ago she was outside playing with a ball."

"Look at these other people and see if you recognize any of them." Said Jeff. He scrolled through pictures of a number of people. It was difficult to recognize them because of the high angle from which the pictures were taken. She stopped him on one picture. "That's him, that's Rem." From his clothing they were able to spot him in several other shots. Angie also identified Paulo Delgado, Rem's right hand man. He wore a distinctive cap and they spotted him in more pictures. In all they saw ten men and three women as residents. There were four more people who appeared to work there every day. They had positive ID on three of them and had a name on the forth. All were cooks or domestics, who came to work at 8 AM and left at 5 PM.

Angie remarked that there were probably six or eight more residents because he always kept that many sex slaves around to have service his friends and workers. She said that the only time they would be out would be early in the morning.

Jeff said they would monitor things in the morning. He said, "We haven't chosen a mode or time of attack as yet, the most likely time would be 3:30AM. We will of course seal off the area by blocking the road. The power line would be cut when the Ha-Lo people are landing. Then more people in air-boats could hit."
