Invisible Hijackers

by D Gemcats Purcell

  Jonah said, “ Sorry, you are gifted and will need more training but yes we all can hear you both very clearly. Greetings from Toigan, my friends. We will need a very private discussion with you Chief Martinette and Munchin. Please make sure that one of you walk us around to meet everyone of your team first before we say anything much ok.”

  Moments later Jonah waved his hands as if to encourage everyone to sit. When they all had, he said, “Greetings to you from our Chief Buenafe of our Defnet and Chief Breecher of our Securinet. We are Six and at your disposal. Thank you for your tremendously warm welcome. I am Jonah a humble noncom farmer, Dillion, Cherese, Jessi my wife, Mader inventor, Matt inventor. We would like to meet each of you in this room then go into closed sessions right away with all vidcoms off, no recording devices at all since our time here is so short and we must be efficient. We must solve this issue that plagues you, that plagues us all. We may have a later session for those of you who may not be picked for the first session.” At that family members started gathering their belongings and started leaving the conference hall.

  Chief Martinette bounded out of his chair bringing with him Chief Munchin. He made a point of shaking hands with each of us in Team Six and Munchin followed. In his head Chief Martinette asked, “Ok so far.” Jonah answered, “Yes Sir, let us meet everyone now. We don’t need to necessarily shake hands but we will know if there are any unsavory guys here that have been tainted.”

  He said in mind talk, “I sure hope not, since my sister and I have been checking each of our teams frequently. Munchin does not know anything about this. We have helped him by keeping his team safe though. He is a good friend from college and is a solid good man.”

  Jonah said, “We all have this ‘need to know’ vetting that we’ve had to do among friends and family so we completely understand.” In the meantime he was walking us through his group naming names and giving jokes -all very congenial. Then came Minchin’s turn and we met everyone of his people too. Yovel had come down from her perch in the back and shook hands too, with a short hug for Jessi and Cherese. Wow, we were now one big family.

  Jonah mind spoke with Martinette, “Just Six and the two of you, we need to go outside.”

  Chief Martinette had a few trusted guards go outside to scope about first, then we followed them and walking about one hundred feet further we sat at one of the outside benches that looked like it was there for relaxing and snacking by base workers.

  Jonah made a show of inspecting it thoroughly, but of course just by touching it he knew there were no electronic surveillance devices. They were sensing for other eavesdropping devices, but all was clear. Jonah sat on the opposite bench to the two Chiefs and began, “We will have to decide how to proceed to gather the detailed evidence we need to actually prosecute Yashid and one of his sons Jimblatt in particular. He blew the axle off of your army transport truck, lifted off twelve of your missiles and now please turn on your vidcoms to record these names now.” He rattled off the names and positions of those who helped, as well as how they did get the missiles spirited into space via the BMOS. He continued, “The name of their man on the BMOS is Gentry Smith as well as their plant prior to Gentry was called Jeffrey Jones, plus the names of the two Captains who now command the stolen space freighters Brataslav and wife Marybeth on the Marigot and Madhi on the SanQuentin. The professor Wainscot who worked on the cloaking device likely without knowing how it would be used may help us to deactivate it if we can find him.These are the coordinates of the location of where we think the cloaked ore barges and the now armed freighters are located. These are the folks who were able to set up the accounts into which the monies from the previous heist were deposited will be a big part of Yashid’s organization and may be needed to be pressured to help with the extraction of the funds. We will need you all to get to the funds that belong to the hijackers, including Yashid. On Toigan we can take those funds and more. His family needs to be totally bankrupted from this as a shining example that crime does not pay for generations to come. So you know how your systems are here. We would strongly recommend breaking the folks in that room into teams with no communication with even their families over the next two days and nights; a complete and total lockdown is needed to get these issues clarified and the money grabbed. If even an inkling comes out, the monies will scatter and only a few of these criminals may be caught.”

  The Chiefs were nodding affirmatively. Where there was despair in them there was a now a wellspring of hope and a growing resolve to totally crush this hijacking debacle. They were infused with so much excitement, that they were not able to sit still. Fingers were drumming unconsciously and their toes were tapping.

  15. UNRAVELING THE SYNDICATE

  So gentlemen, we are going to walk back in there with a drawn up plan. “We will leave you two to organize that.” The two chiefs sat on the bench talking earnestly for another fifteen minutes. Finally they got up nodding in appreciation to Six. Jonah reminded them of the need to put all communication about the investigation out of reach of anyone outside of the team in there. “Not even your sister, Chief must know the whole picture. No gossiping can be tolerated and make sure that anyone who is unable to abide by the strict quarantine be bound by a strong no talk rule. We have risked many lives to get to this stage and it would be sad if someone messes it up frankly,” he said out loud for both to hear.

  With a determined look on their faces, the two Chiefs preceded by their security men and followed by Six pushed through the doors of the conference hall on the base and this time Six was shown to some chairs that had been previously placed at the front of the gathering facing everyone. They took their seats amidst a hubbub of murmurs. Everyone was reading off the excited but stern looks on their bosses faces. They knew something big was about to happen. Both Chiefs went to the lectern and Martinette tapped the microphone. He paused conspiratorially and Jonah mind spoke to him saying , “Its ok to speak softly here, your security detail is clear and the building has been scanned for bugs.” The audience may have thought that he took a strangely long pause, but it was because he was listening to Jonah. He then nodded and continued, “There may be a few of you who would be unable to devote a full forty eight hours or more nonstop to staying on the job with no contact with anyone but your teammates. This is what it’s going to take. Please take the next thirty minutes to call your families and see if it will be practical to be away from them while incommunicado. If you discover you are unable to, send a message to your respective Chief by the usual means marked urgent. You will be excused with the usual high level NDA non disclosure agreement.”

  With that they walked away from the lectern and people were raising their wrists to their lips and moving away from each other to get a bit of privacy. Thankfully, there was enough spread out room available. Six sat and waited. People headed for the restroom, expecting that there was going to be a prolonged session. We could hear folks calling for clothes to be brought to their headquarters. It isn’t unheard of within these security Agencies to have to do overnighters so the sleeping quarters already exist of course, but for several nights in a row, that was not common, especially for that many folks. Six would need to go check the security of their communication systems at both Securinet’s and Defnet’s Head Quarters. By twenty minutes everyone was back in their seats with none leaving.

  Defnet Chief Martinette took the lectern and called and pointed. He had broken his group up into five. One of the groups of five would take over all the routine issues normally dealt with by the full department so that to the outside world it would appear nothing was much amiss. The other four groups were given different areas to sit around the arena. Chief Munchin did the same thing but had two groups of five officials assigned to fulfill normal duties and that left him with four groups of five men each who were similarly spread out from each other. The groups who were to continue business as usual for their respective Departments now had to go to each of the other members to get a briefing on their most pressing issu
es that would definitely need attention over the next seventy two hours. Then each Chief went personally to each subgroup to brief them on their specific chores. Yodel, Chief Martinette’s sister was with the group helping maintain the normal department schedule.

  Six conferred among themselves noting the competent way the both Chiefs and their crew were responding. They conferred among themselves as to any other items that needed addressing and yes there was the concern about how well the head quarters of both Defnet and Securinet were secured. They needed to go to each place and meld with their systems to check that. It would do no good if they were being watched and spied on. Even if the details of what they were working on was not known, a flurry of activity would raise concern among the criminals and they may proactively change things. Everything had to be done fast and all at once. The trap had to be sprung simultaneously in several places all at the same time. Six would need to within shooting distance on the Celeste not far from the hijackers to spring on them while the trap closed down here so that warning could not be given by one arm of the enterprise to the other. This was made very clear to the two Chiefs.

  Finally everyone, now with marching orders broke up into their groupings with a complete blackout to the outside world. Their families were given a low keyed answer to give and only to pertinent enquiring folks. Families were also given instructions to call to let the department know if anyone unusual was enquiring about the sequestered officers. After a two hour ride we stopped off at the Securinet building first and those folks went in with Six, going straight to their computer rooms. There were three suspicious plugins and five suspect hardwired devices that had to be removed. The technical teams were all checked for plants but there was no deviant employees found there. The com links were fairly good but could be penetrated so we wrote some code words to use to contact the topside namely Captain Ross and Captain Ronald who would be updated about the changes when Six met them in a day or two.

  Off to Defnet and Six again found some weak points in their systems and once they were corrected, they likewise agreed on specific codes to be used. All was as set as we could make it. After checking into Yashid’s mind again, we retired to the bank of rooms assigned to us and were given each a bag of clothes and supplies at the Defnet building. Their cafeteria was open and we availed ourselves of a good solid meal and then got to enjoy using toilets that worked like toilets should. It was good to be out of space for a few hours. We checked up on our rides back to the top to BMOS the following day. Then it was time, after 7 pm to start settling down for a solid night’s sleep. We felt assured enough of the security here to not have to post our own guard. We would each take turns waking up and spending an hour or so to scan for suspicious activity. We each had our own room and Jessi and I were given one of the only rooms with a large bed enough for both of us to sleep on.

  First though, we got together to make the call to Jongi. “So good to hear from you all,” she said.

  Matt took the initiative and said, “Things have gone better than expected in terms of how quickly we got to meet Yashid and other Trat Mining Conglomerate folks. He himself came to meet us after we landed, maybe to try to figure out what we might have learned by using a weak telepath to try to invade our minds. Instead we got a lot of information out of his own head. We extracted all that would be needed to bring down the whole shebang crashing down on top of his head.”

  Matt explained how the Chiefs were extremely comfortable working with us and how Martinette and his sister Yodel were weak telepaths and that fact led to things working out really well for us and them. The teams formed by Securinet and Defnet would be working nonstop over the next forty eight hours to have the trap set and ready to be closed on the hijackers. We in turn plan to be back on the Celeste and ready to finish the job by bringing the actual hijackers to justice and recovering the valuable stolen cargo. She understood that we felt confident about the hidden cargo’s location and even how to go about hijacking it back, it so to speak. In the end, with all issues having been discussed, Matt made the request that our kin be sent our greetings and to hold out the possibility of us being back on Toigan territory within one week.

  One thing was left to be done, get some solid sleep. Jessi and I changed in our room and launched into each other’s arms. We luxuriated in each other’s arms, wrapping our legs around each other, taking in full measure of each other’s scent. She was delightful in every way, was all I could think. Her hands reached out to rub my growing stubble. That would remind me to shave it come morning. I brushed my knuckles over her right nipple and then the tips of my fingers over the raisin that her left nipple had suddenly become. She sucked in her air and I could feel her hips rise under weight of my right thigh. Her eyes were closed and she wiggled restlessly with a low moan when my right hand slowly circled her belly button on its way down. By the time my right hand brushed lightly over her moistening triangular patch, she was lifting up her hips searching for something to grind on. Her breath was coming in starts and fits and she murmured, “Oh gosh Jonah come on come on, please you are torturing me.” The word ‘torturing ‘ was drawn out and guttural. So I laid my thumb gently on top of her clit and the next two fingers dipped in between her super moist lips and she just about lost it; I mean bucking bronco lost it. She sucked her bottom lip in and went to war with herself, alternately smothering her screams and biting her lips. Sometimes pain grounds a person and she seemed to be trying to do just that. It was hard to stay calm within myself, but I had to remain somewhat distant and ignore my own throbbing ache. I brought my lips up to her right ear and whispered, “Baby I love you,” and simultaneously slipped in and out of her but only just a little, maybe half an inch, certainly no more, while ensuring that my thumb oozed back and forth over her clit just a smidge. I sucked very gently on her neck careful not to give her the indignity of a ‘hickey’. As I gently let her know how much she meant to me and how much her happiness was important to me, I slipped rhythmically into her more and more. Finally when I gave that final gentle nudge, I felt her rhythmic rapid contractions in waves over my fingers as she brought her hands up to cover her mouth and she was simultaneously thrusting almost violently against my hands which was smothered in her moisture. “Oh Lord that was incredible.” She moaned. I could still feel smaller waves of contractions coming and she shivered again and again. Finally she relaxed and I let my hand just cover her very wet parts and just lay there quietly with her. She reached over and gave me a little kiss on my lips. “ Baby I needed that. Thank you. I love you.” She reached down and felt my throbbing member. Rolling on top of me she reached down lifted me up into her so that only my tip entered her and my breath caught in my throat just short of being strangled. Looking into my eyes, she said, “You do know how much I love you right.” I said, “I do Jessi, I do.” She slipped her warm wet self slowly over me like a silky velvet blanket. Her heat was intense. I thought, “Oh gosh it’s not going to take much Oh Lord Meneer, thank you for blessing me with this incredible woman.” I tried to hold out, but alas it happened and it was my turn to have to suppress my bawling like a baby down to a low moaning. That is what one gets when two young hot blooded lovers are starved for three whole days. We tried to damp ourselves with the tissues, then just collapsed into each other’s arms for goodness knows how long. Maybe an hour later we rolled over and I reminded her to go to the bathroom and then followed her. We both had a quick shower to feel fresh, as we were cognizant that an emergency could happen at any moment calling us to fight for survival. It just wouldn’t do to go among our colleagues reeking of sex! Oh no, we could not do that. So after that quickie shower, which left us feeling so deliciously cool, we jumped back into bed to cuddle and get that sleep we so needed. We double checked alarms and the next time our eyes opened it was time to wake up, just minutes before the alarms would have gone off. Our own internal alarms still worked.

  Then it was a good hug, bathroom and off to join the queue in the cafeteria. It was well stocked and we saw some
pretty bleary eyed officials who were part of the top teams thrashing out the details of the hijacking. As we got to the end of the line and were angling for a seat, the Chiefs walked in and pointedly motioned for us to go sit at one of the tables with four chairs. We did as commanded. Cherese and Dillion also popped in and we pointed to the table next door to ours, indicating our desire for them to be close by. By the time we were halfway through and the Chiefs had joined us, there came Matt and Mader looking fresh but hungry. Munchin, the first to set his rear down said, “Hello there young Toigans.” We said, “Hello older male Bacletician.” He guffawed, “That’s a new one, never heard it before, but I guess it would be kind of awkward to put it any other way.”

  Martinette sat down heavily and said, “You deserved it.” He looked Jessi and I over carefully and said out loud, “You too do look refreshed though. I don’t feel the way you look. I am jealous. But I suppose you all probably had put in your long hours during that whole emergency call up and through the rescue and then the attack that you had to endure.”

  Jessi and I nodded. “Yes we had to be alert for maybe forty hours before we got to tune our focus down a bit. So coming here and feeling like there were good guards looking over us was really nice.”
