Carole-Anne oiled her skin and lay on a lounger adjusting her sun glasses to get a tan on her face; then soaked up the rays.
Jim woke up shortly after and took the opportunity to call Jackie, he got a load of abuse for not calling, she just let rip at him. ‘Look babes I have been up to my eyes in it and have just had yet another meeting and broken away, I should be back very shortly.’ ‘You better be Jim, I’ve just about had enough of this, you being away abroad all this time, with me being here all on my own; you better watch out, I might find someone else.’ That was it she switched off the phone. He said to himself ‘fuck me, I wish I hadn’t bothered.’ He changed and went and joined Carole-Anne. He rubbed oil on himself then laid back and chatted; then the Columbians came to the pool and started swimming they started jumping in and generally splashing about to the annoyance of some of the guests who objected to being splashed as they sizzled in the heat if the day.
It was then that he saw Jones-Smyth in company with Kowalski as they selected a lounger, they sat watching the antics of the Columbian’s Jim snapped away at them managing to get a handshake in as well. All he needed now was the Columbians together in conversation and the job was done. That would probably be later in the evening. Then his mind went back to venom spat at him by Jackie, not saying he didn’t deserve it, but he hoped if tonight panned out, he could be gone in a couple of days. Although he loved the American lifestyle and the easy living he was enjoying at the moment; he thought if he could swapped sides and work for the spooks he could try for an American posting, living with Carole-Anne. Fuck me what a triangle he thought. He really didn’t want to hurt Jackie though, she had been so good to him; the pangs hit him again. Someone was going to get hurt. He was then interrupted by Carole-Anne, ‘Jim this is nearly over my darling, oh how I have enjoyed this so much, I have fallen deeply and madly in love with you, but you’re going to leave me, tell me honestly, have you a woman at home in the UK?’ ‘I won’t lie, yes I see someone now and again, but nothing serious.’ ‘Okay, I thought so, as long as it’s not serious; cause I might ask for a transfer to our London office then we could be together for ever Jim.’ Jim thought fuck me! Then the Columbians got out of the pool and stood around talking and shaking hands with Kowalski and Jones-Smyth. He managed to get a couple of snaps which then officially completed the job.
Carole-Anne looked so sad, he felt so sure she would burst into tears there and then. Jim made his way back to the room. Carole-Anne stayed a few more minutes to allow Jim time to call Yvonne.
‘Hi Yvonne yes got the shots all together around the pool, probably get them together tonight as well but. There is enough here to show association.’ ‘Well done Jim don’t book a flight yet just hang tight for a couple of more days.’ Carole-Anne came into the room looking like she had been crying. ‘I’ve spoken to Yvonne and she has asked me to stay on for a couple more days I presume Barney will do the same?’ ‘Oh Jim I do hope so.’ Jim then downloaded the photos and emailed to Yvonne and Barney.
They showered and changed and went for a drink before going for dinner. They decided to eat in at a surf and turf restaurant; there was a good selection of food including shellfish on the menu. Jim laughed as he made a joke about stocking up for the next session. Carole-Anne slapped his arm as she laughed, ‘there’s no oysters you better double up on the prawns and lobster.’
They sat and ate their fill; cracking open lobster and crab claws and enjoying the sweet meat. The wine went down well as they contemplated a dessert, but holding their stomachs they looked at each other and shook their heads. They sat holding hands over the table, when in came the Columbians with Kowalski and Jones-Smyth in tow. They sat at a nearby table they nodded in recognition; Jim broke the ice as he said ‘the lobster is really good,’ as he picked up the sun glasses off his head and flicked them on. Jones-Smyth said ‘hey you’re English where you from?’ Jim thought ‘oh no’ ‘Just outside Birmingham, this is my wife to be we are on a pre-marital visit. Jim fiddled with his glasses as he took a couple of good close up snaps. Then laughed saying I won’t need these now as he slipped them into his pocket. Jones-Smyth said ‘you here for long?’ ‘We’ve been here a week and at the end unfortunately; in a day or so we’ll be gone; anyway nice chatting’ as he called for the bill, it arrived as Jim paid by credit card then said his farewell.
Carole-Anne could feel their eyes on her bum as she walked out, for some reason it made her feel uncomfortable; albeit she was used to being ogled at; this time for some reason it made her feel uneasy. As they got outside she said ‘what a load of creeps; just because they’ve got money.’ ‘We could be in there.’ ‘No you don’t Jim; that’s not our brief.’ ‘I know, just saying, a chance meeting no introduction I bet I could.’ ‘Jim, these Columbians are arseholes they kill people for looking at them the wrong way.’ ‘Relax it was only a comment.’ She grabbed hold of his arm as she said ‘I don’t want to lose you Jim, you mean so much to me.’ Jim thought fuck me this wasn’t supposed to happen.
They got back to the hotel and had a nightcap in the bar which went down well. Then they made their way to their room. Jim downloaded the pictures and sent them to Yvonne and Barney. Then he joined Carole-Anne in bed and cuddled her to sleep. As if on cue in the early hours of the morning he was shoved in the back again, ‘Jim you awake? Jim you awake?’ Jim turned over not opening his eyes as she threw back the covers and went down on him again, he felt her warm lips taking his length in her mouth, his passion was now fully awakened as he felt the blood rising he grabbed her hair as she moved her head up and down, she could feel he was getting ready as his breath was shortening. Carole-Anne didn’t want him to cum in her mouth; not this time, she wanted him inside her. She could feel him rising so pulled away. She looked at him with seductive eyes then she crept up his body kissing his chest until she reached his mouth where she took his tongue working it like his penis. She was allowing his rising load to settle back down before straddling him.
Once she was satisfied he was sufficiently settled, she sat astride him entering him inside her, she was so ready for him; the anticipation of him inside her after working him with her mouth was so exciting, she was really ready. Carole-Anne straddled him then rode him, working her pelvis watching his facial expressions; she had numerous orgasms then saw him close his eyes tightly then felt his hips go rigid as came inside her. She rested her had on his chest feeling it rise and fall with his breath, she felt so satisfied. Jim then went back to sleep not waking too early, but just as he was about to turn over his phone went, it was Yvonne. ‘Well done Jim, book a flight from Miami to Heathrow I will get you picked up, then I will need a debrief, not overnight sorry to say, I will meet you in the car then my driver will drop you off wherever you need to go; you will be jet lagged; things are moving on quickly now.’ ‘Okay I will text the flight details when I know them.’
Jim hugged Carole-Anne ‘that’s it babes it’s over I‘ve been ordered back for an urgent debrief.’ Carole-Anne burst into tears as she hugged him; she sobbed for a good ten minutes on his shoulder. Then she said ‘thank you Jim for the best time of my life; I doubt if we will meet again, not like this anyhow.’ ‘You never know babes?’ Jim then rang reception asking if they could book the next available flight from Miami direct to Heathrow. The desk rang back some 40 minutes later, ‘earliest flight tomorrow afternoon leaving at 4pm is that okay Sir.’ ‘Yes that’s fine, please confirm it, you have my passport details? Okay thanks.’ Another call came in some ten minutes later with the flight details and arrival time at Heathrow. He texted Yvonne, she texted back; ‘on second thoughts I’ll get Langton’s driver to pick you up and I’ll meet you at Langton’s office at 2pm.’
He then saw Carole-Anne on the phone he presumed to Barney. She turned and said ‘tomorrow Jim the last day, well half a day then goodbye, oh I’m so sad; Barney has booked a flight for me it’s at midday, so even less time together.’ ‘Come on then let’s get going, do some sightseeing and do some silly things.’
Carole-Anne was tearful as she got ready then they toured the city on one of the open top hop-on and hop-off buses; they travelled through the Art Deco area and then along the beach coast road. The day was fun as Carole-Anne made the most of it, knowing this could be the last time she ever saw Jim again. They hopped-off the bus at the end of the day and had their final evening meal before retiring to bed and fulfilling their desires.
They awoke in the morning then packed as they made their way downstairs, they checked out as Jim asked if his suitcase could be held in a secure place till later.
He then requested a taxi for Carole-Anne; he went with her to the airport then asked the driver to wait then hugged her as she broke down in tears then hurried off to departures. Jim returned to the hotel. He had breakfast in one of the beach restaurants. He called Jackie; ‘Hi babes I’ll be home tomorrow morning.’ Jackie apologised for the day before and made sure he understood the reason for the outburst. Jim accepted her apology promising he would make it up to her.
Time had gone by and so he collected his case and caught a taxi as he watched the scenery of Miami city centre go by, he took stock of the warm weather and the tall buildings on the way to the airport knowing it would be a long time before he felt heat like this again. On arrival he thanked the driver palming him a good tip. ‘Hey man, have a great trip.’ Jim smiled as he acknowledged the driver’s comments.
He went through the booking-in procedures then boarded his flight and flew back to Heathrow on the redeye flight. He had booked business class again, so was able to stretch and sleep as he covered himself in a blanket and dropped off. He kept wondering what he had been asked to do. It made no sense; any agent, even a private agency could have done what he had done and for a minimal price. He eventually slept relishing his time with Carole-Anne. He awoke as the cabin crew were preparing for landing.
He went through passport control then exited through the arrivals doors; where he saw the driver holding a card ‘Jim B’ in big letters; he acknowledged the driver. He was driven home as he made small talk. He entered Jackie’s apartment where he started to unpack. He texted Jackie to let her know he was home; informing her he had a meeting at two with Langton. The texted reply was ‘okay, later.’ He thought mmm she’s still not happy, so he took out the watch he had bought her and left it on the table just in case he got home late.
He had a couple of hours but didn’t really sleep just nodded, then showered and went to Langton’s office. He was keen to know the result of the search for Sumner.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Jim arrived at Langton’s office as he yawned from the redeye flight; the jet lag was quickly catching up on him even though he had slept. Come on in Jim you must have had a great time you can’t be tired having had an all paid holiday on the company. Jim smiled ‘it was difficult keeping up Anglo-American relations.’ Langton smiled ‘As I understand; anyway Yvonne is on the way she called earlier, she said things are not as they seem.’ Jim frowned as he looked at Langton who put his hands up in the air, ‘don’t ask, cause I don’t know either; that’s all she said.’
‘How about Sumner Guv has he been nicked yet?’ ‘No he appears to have done a complete runner. I even asked Vicky to get her man on it, but he came up short as well. Although I must say she was a good choice of yours to carry on where you left off, she’s done a cracking job; all the indications are that it will be a guilty plea; those sex tapes have made everyone put their hands up, they don’t want a jury to see those.’ With that Langton’s phone went, he answered, then nodded to Jim ‘she’s here.’ Jim nodded and went to collect her.
Jim was greeted by a big smile from Yvonne, they shook hands then went to the lift, as they got in they were joined by others. Yvonne said ‘good trip Jim, you have a nice tan?’ ‘Very nice thanks.’ The others got out at the next floor the doors closed as he squeezed her bum, ‘bugger off Jim.’ He smiled ‘You want me to debrief you again in Birmingham?’ ‘Not at this time Jim, but soon I can’t say anything yet, but soon I will be able too.’ The floor indicator pinged as they reached the top floor.
They entered Langton’s office where the normal greetings were made then coffee arrived. Yvonne opened the meeting by saying; ‘Jim did a really good job, it enabled us to identify a double agent.’ ‘What double agent.’ ‘Sorry Jim I can’t say, but the backbencher relative information I gave you was not correct, it was mentioned to only you and one other, to see if it came back, and it did; we knew it wasn’t you, because of the way it was received; we were able to backtrack to the suspected source.’ ‘Was there a drugs deal?’ Yvonne smiled ‘of course.’ Jim looked at her and frowned watching her sip from her cup, she was lying; he had been used again to smoke out another mole, but where, and who? Was it this side of the pond or the other side? He wasn’t sure of anything anymore. ‘Was that the reason I was followed in Washington by the poorly trained surveillance team?’ Yvonne tugged at her skirt, to cover her knees. Jim had identified this over the course of time, as one of the signals she gave out when she was lying or about to lie, or as they say, being economical with the truth. ‘Things happen for many reasons Jim, some, if not most, I cannot divulge to you; suffice to say, there are good and sensitive reasons why it happened the way it did.’
‘So will I get to know what was going on in Miami?’ ‘Not yet; perhaps later on, when Barney has finished his operation.’ ‘I thought this was a joint operation?’ ‘Oh it is, or should I say was; anyway I can say no more.’ This frustrated the hell out of Jim; he always wanted to know insides of a ducks arse; all the why’s and wherefores’? This way of working was so alien to him.
‘I would like to thank you Jim and Mr Langton for allowing you to work with us at short notice.’ Langton piped in ‘that’s our pleasure Yvonne, Jim is at your disposal, obviously work commitments permitting.’ Jim had the impression he was a ping pong ball, being tossed from one side of the room to the other.
‘Yvonne then said ‘okay we have another issue which will require you to go to Portugal this time. That’s all I can say at the moment, it will take a little while to get organised, so just a preparatory warning; it might also be handy to get a bit of Portuguese behind you, just the odd phrase, buy some tapes or DVD’s.’ Yvonne stood up and shook Langton’s hand saying ‘thanks again a great job.’ She picked up her document case then opened the door as Jim showed her out. He walked close to her, as he said ‘I could give you one right now.’ ‘You will have to wait, I will call you soon. Once in the lift he squeezed her bum as she murmured ‘I would like you, how you say; to give me one too Jim.’ The lift arrived at the ground floor as he took her visitors badge then he bid her goodbye shaking her hand as he tickled her palm watching her smile invitingly as she let her hand savour his touch; then she left as her driver picked her up at the front door.
Jim went back to see Langton, who beamed a smile at him ‘you are, aren’t you?’ ‘Oh do bugger off Guv, you ask me that every time, no I’m not.’ ‘What was the trip like?’ ‘Yeah it was magic, just magic,’ as his thoughts momentarily drifted back to Carole-Anne. ‘But now, I haven’t got a clue what the fuck I was doing there, have you?’ ‘No more than what was spoken about just now; the only conversation I had with Yvonne whilst you were away, was to make sure you were okay and longevity of your stay; other than that, I am as much in the dark as you are.’ ‘I couldn’t work like that guv, not knowing the whole picture, it would do my head in.’ ‘Well get used to it as it looks like another job looms on the horizon. Oh by the way how is Jackie?’ ‘Oh bugger; I better get home, thanks Guv will be in tomorrow, can you arrange a meeting with Vicky for say 11ish so we can run through any issues that may throw up the whereabouts of Sumner?’ ‘No problem, see you tomorrow, don’t rush in.’ Jim gave a thumbs up as he left. He passed Langton’s secretary who looked at Jim, she was expecting his banter and he didn’t disappoint her, ‘hello miss, you want some of my dict tomorrow?’ ‘I’m ready for it now,’ she retorted throwing the ball back in his court, as
she laughed. ‘Sorry need some sleep, you okay for a long one tomorrow.’ She laughed as she went into Langton’s office. She knew he was watching her bum so gave a little wiggle.
Jim thought if she wasn’t Langton’s secretary I’d give her one; then he thought no way, it’s way to close home.
Jim got home just as Jackie did; the only difference was he felt like he was walking on air from the jet lag. Jackie threw her arms around him and dragged inside planting a huge kiss on him as her tongue went deep into his mouth where she searched for his and started to undress him pushing him to the bedroom, he couldn’t back down, she was so rampant and needed him inside her; she wanted her favourite first she undressed sat on the edge of the bed and dragged his head between her thighs forcing his head as far as it would go. ‘Don’t you dare stop Broadbent, this is for going away and leaving me, this is your penance. Oh fuck me Jim yes please, oh my god, yes Jim don’t you dare fucking stop, fuck me Jim yes yes, yes.’ She then exploded soaking him, then she took him, savouring his length as she worked him expertly with her tongue she listened to his moans and his breathing. She wanted more, so manoeuvred into a 69 position; she had further orgasms soaking his face, then she heard him moan and felt his hips lock as he came in her mouth, she swallowed him ensuring she had tasted every drop. Afterwards she rested her head on his chest as she played with his hair. Jim was exhausted from jet lag and quickly fell asleep with Jackie still resting on his chest.
The morning came to the smell of eggs and bacon, being cooked, Jim had missed this; he heard her scream ‘Oh Jim, thank you so much, how much did this cost?’ She paraded her new watch on her wrist into the bedroom. ‘Jim this must have cost a fortune, how will you explain this away?’ ‘Leave it to me.’ ‘Thank you so much darling.’ She kissed him and said ‘I am going to pay you for this tonight.’ She laughed, bringing the watch to her eyes peering over the top seductively. Jim thought, oh no not again, as he tried to smile.
