sat on his pool deck looking out over the landscape and the city below, glad to be out of the thriving city and up in the hills. From his vantage point, he was close to the city but far enough away to have his own space. After serving over ten years in the intelligence field, nobody used the letter acronyms anymore, he bought a large piece of real estate with woods for hunting and a lake for swimming and fishing.
His time with the company had him traveling all over the world on assignment. He had been shot, knifed, and had numerous close calls with bombs. After his last assignment, when things went sour and was shot in the hip, he decided to call it quits. At thirty-five, he had a nice nest egg and was content to work as a private contractor, doing protection or investigative work for clients. What was nice about his new career was he could pick and choose what jobs he wanted to undertake.
Now, looking down on the city, waiting for a potential client to arrive, he thought about his past. After high school, he received a scholarship to play rugby at the prestigious Central College. While at college he majored in criminal justice and got married. The latter was the worst thing he did.
Amy was a great girl and they had some great times together both in and out of bed but when he took a job with the “company” his marriage dissolved. Being away for long periods of time put a real strain on their relationship. After a few years of trying to make it work, they both were ready to call it quits. Since then he had numerous lovers, none of which turned into long term affairs. How could they? He was never sure where the “company” was going to send him.
Carter looked at his watch, seeing it was almost time for his potential new client to arrive. Sipping his bourbon, he thought about the phone call from his good friend, Christian James. He called a week ago asking him to take on a case that might be a bit risky. Christian was very vague about the new client, telling him only that she was framed for a crime she claimed she didn’t commit. Her ex-husband was a high-profile individual and he couldn’t discuss the details over the phone. When Carter pressed him for more information, Christian told him he would have to wait until he met the woman to find out more details.
When his phone buzzed, Carter looked at the screen seeing Christian’s note. We are here at your front door. Quickly downing the rest of his bourbon, he hurried through the house, stopping quickly in front of the large hall mirror to check his appearance. He smiled and walked to the front door. When he opened it, his mouth fell open as he gazed upon a beautiful woman standing next to Christian.
“Can we come in?” Christian joked.
Carter smiled knowing he had been caught staring at the woman. She looked familiar but he couldn’t readily place where he might have seen her picture or saw her on the street. “Of course. Please come in.”
Christian chuckled and when they were inside and the door closed, he said, “Carter, I want to introduce you to Brielle Manson. She goes by the name of Ellie for short. She can tell you what the job will entail and I can guarantee she can afford your fees. While you two talk, I’ll stay outside.”
The way he said it, Carter knew something big was happening. “Well Ms. Manson. Let’s go out to the deck and you can tell me what service I can provide you. Would you like a drink? I’m going to have another bourbon.” There was something about the name Manson that sent a chill up his spine. The only Manson he could think of was the mafia crime boss.
