Years Later
Client called about a special job. Now my team and I are in a very nice hotel on our way to a room where our caller is waiting. Pretty sure I'm walking into a shit storm but the difference is it's my shit storm and we're all dressed in nice suits like good professionals. I knock once on the door and as soon as it opens my team of four and I make our way inside with 'B' waiting in the hall while 'I' get the door behind us. Trashed hotel room but the pale body on the bed and the frantic twenty one year old with the shambles for a designer suit tells me more, I motion for 'K' to check him out and she does sit him down and give him the medical once over.
"Sir he has a few lacerations from nail marks, that means DNA markers," K tells me stating facts.
"Alright, we're looking at a full scrub then. I help K get the girl into the bathroom and make sure that we can get this taken care of quickly as we need to be gone in twenty minutes," I order them and watch as my busy bees go to work.
I take a seat in a chair facing the guy; he's much younger than me and supposed to be focusing on his studies. Now we have a body in a bed with DNA evidence and he's going over a lot of questions that I don't want to answer, mostly who and how. I answer by giving him a good shake which shuts him up.
"You're Adam Cartwright, twenty one, currently attending University of Chicago on his parent's dime," I state, informing him that I know more about him than he would think," Now here we are cleaning up another of your messes so explain to me why you called me and not Daddy?"
"Dad would kill me, he's in the Sen….," He starts but I cut him off.
"I know who he is but that doesn't tell me why," I state firmly.
"I can't go to jail for this, I can't it'll ruin me if this gets out," he stammers afraid.
"And what about the girl, what about her ruined future," I ask and he sobs a little," Adam we are coming to an understanding because as of right now your ass belongs to me. I am taking care of your problem and this will disappear but I have enough that all I do is make one call and your life ends. Do you understand me so far?"
"What do you want," Adam asks, scared.
"Right now, nothing. I'm going to get you out of this but I swear to whatever god you choose if you make me come back to clean up your mess or if I find out you made another I will make you disappear like your problem today, now do you ever want to see me again," I ask and he shakes his head no," 'I' I need you."
"Sir, you called," I' asks coming out of the bathroom with a strong chemical smell following him.
"Yes, you and 'B' need to remove Adam here from the situation quietly and quickly, put him in one of our cars and one of you drive him, deposit him with his parents and make sure he cleans up. If he decides to resist or fight you try not to leave any major damage," I state to 'I' getting a nod.
I watch as 'I' packs up our charge and I 'B' is ready to go as I watch them escort him out and take his car keys. I contact 'J' on the phone and have him follow them on cameras while we're fed updates. I note 'G' is simply looking around the room confused, it's her first time out with us and this is more of a ride along for her.
"Alright folks, 'B' is clear with the car and 'I' is clear with the package," 'J' states into my ear piece and I relay to the others.
"We're clear people, wheels up and let's get moving," I state as Katy and Wilma, yes the psycho from a few years earlier, exit the bathroom with Wilma dressed," Ladies are we alright?"
"Yeah, that knock out drug really fucks me up but 'K' being here really helps," Wilma says giving Katy a hug.
"Hey you do the dead thing better than most," Katy giggles and we check the room before exiting for the elevator and I pass the maid on the way out handing her a twenty and pointing out 'our' room for immediate cleaning.
We're in the car with Katy driving and heading down the road to the airport with no problems, it was a clean operation and I'm waiting for our client call which finally comes as we're almost on the plane.
"Senator Cartwright, I'm guessing you got my package this morning," I said into my earpiece," The line is secure so you can speak freely."
"He's here, you did a number on him but I think this might actually work. Now about that bonus you spoke about, I'll make sure Senator Delauter is brought into the fold and help some of his ideas be pushed forward like you asked. He's very grass roots but he's got popularity so this can be good all around," the Senator tells me and I smile.
"Well when he gave you my number and we spoke I told you I fix problems and considering the five figures you paid for this I'm just hoping we don't have to plan a follow up," I tell him as I step into the terminal.
"Let's hope it never comes to that for my son's sake," the Senator jokes before hanging up.
"Jun are we golden," I ask as he's been listening in.
"We're paid with a bonus Guy, dividing up funds now and thanks for bringing me back in on this one," Jun tells me over the phone.
"I need the best and you need to furnish that baby room," I joke and we end the call laughing.
I spent three years living in problems and discovered I had one talent above all others, I solved problems. My business is the business of fixing people's lives. A Senator needs his son to stop screwing up his life with drugs and partying. We put a dead body with DNA in a bed and scare him out of his life. A spouse is being screwed in a divorce by a cheater, we ruin the cheating relationship. My problems now consist of remembering to stop by the store for milk and bringing back a trinket for the kids. Katy and I are sitting on the plane flying back and she can see how tired I am.
"Something wrong baby," Katy asks cuddling up.
"I don't like being away from home as much as I have been," I tell her and she smiles.
"Well then I say you recruit and train a new field leader," Katy says with a smile.
"That's great you two but lil brother if you wanted me to understand your job I still don't get it," Gwen says moving funny in her suit," And this thing feels tight."
Recruiting, right because that always works, I do however start ping Jun as soon as we land so that he can put something together so that I'm getting intelligent people and not blaring my business to the world. My life now…. a hell of a lot better than it started and now it's time to remake someone in my image.
THE END!
