Kent Davis tapped at his keyboard, transferring another $14 million. It was something the accountant at First Federal did all day long -- typically in much greater amounts -- so if any of his fellow workers had been looking over his shoulder, they wouldn't have paid him any attention, let alone questioned his actions.
And yet, he couldn't help but glance around the office nervously. What he was doing would put him in a Federal Prison for the rest of his life ... which wouldn't be long since the Cordoba's could easily and quickly have him killed regardless of what kind of deal for immunity and relocation the Feds offered him for informing on the drug cartel.
He continued typing at the keyboard, activating a trio of worms. In minutes, Kent had eliminated any record of the skimming he'd been doing over the past year; any record of the cartel's dealings with him personally; and any record of the transactions he'd been making today, including sending information about the Cordoba's to the FBI.
"Gaaaawd ...!" Kent grunted, so loudly that it set off his girlfriend's dog; as euphoria flooded through Kent's body, the yappy little Chihuahua sprinted a back and forth arc around the end of the bed, growling and chomping at the air as if trying to eat the satisfaction filling the room of his owner. Kent's head lolled back as the climax overwhelmed him; he grasped his lover's hips tightly, pulling her ass back against his groin as he felt his dick jerking, emptying deep inside of her. As the orgasm waned, Kent leaned forward, letting his weight push his long-time girlfriend flat to the mattress below him. He laid atop of her, spent, enjoying the pleasure, feeling the pounding of his heart, breathing deeply, waiting, until finally he had enough control to finish his exclamation with an almost whispered growl, "...all mighty."
He wasn't sure how long they'd just laid there, but soon she made that gesture and grunt that told him his weight was getting to be too much. He pulled out of her with a wet plop and rolled to his back beside her. She moved atop him, kissing his chest and face, asking, "My god, Kent ... what was that all about. You must have..."
She continued on, talking and kissing and caressing and fondling...
Kent didn't respond, doing his best to pretend she was no longer there; his climax was still raging through him, and -- with all of the things on his mind at the moment -- he simply didn't have an interest in post-coital chit chat. He'd given her the three orgasms that she defined as a good night's fuck, as well as two extra, simply because he'd had it in him tonight; and he'd gotten his one nuclear explosion that was all he ever needed to be satisfied with their time together in bed.
He didn't see why they couldn't just lay back now and go to sleep, happy and fulfilled. Three years of this shit, he reminded himself as she continued to chat on about his performance, wondering what had inspired the animal in him tonight. Oh, just fucking pass out!
Eventually, she did, and Kent rose and moved to his lap top in the next room. He checked the breaking news page, then scanned a few Law Enforcement and corporate banking news pages ... and a smile spread wide across his face.
With a pumped fist and a yell of Ye-e-e-es! -- which again set off the Mexican Rat running circles around his desk -- he stood and danced naked across the condominium's hard wood floor, doing his best impression of Lady Gaga as he sang, "Beautiful, dirty, dirty, rich, rich, dirty, dirty ... beautiful ... dirty ... rich!"
Once he'd gotten control of his glee, he returned to the computer to verify the public news with information he could only get from password accessed pages. He danced about in the chair as he verified that his worms were doing exactly what they'd been intended to do.
Kent snatched up his cell phone and, drawing and exhaling deeply, tried to assume a concerned, frightened emotional state. He tapped a speed dial number, gave a code word to the person who answered, then when he was connected to a man with a deeply accented voice, asked, "My god! What happened...? The Feds ... they're all over us! Do I need to disappear...? I can't go to jail! You have to protect me ... get me out of the country!"
The man on the other end told him to calm down, but Kent continued with the feigned panic until he was told a place and time to meet...
"Don't you think you could have picked a better place than a doughnut shop?" Kent asked with feigned panic. He glanced around at the 24 hour business's clientele, which included a quartet of cops sitting in the far corner. "Maybe we should have met at the Precinct. It would've been more convenient ... for incarcerating us!"
"Calm down," Juan Cordoba told him. "The Fed's don't know that you're the Family's accountant ... nor do they know that I'm in the country. So ... relax, and tell me what you know."
Kent recounted what he'd read on the web and learned from checking the accounts. Carefully glancing the direction of the cops occasionally, he confirmed what Juan already believed, that the FBI had located the money laundering accounts and seized them. Surprisingly, the most senior Cordoba in the U.S. not currently in Federal custody seemed very calm to Kent.
"But you're money," he whispered with excitement. "They got it all."
"No, they didn't," Juan corrected him. "The Feds only got the Cayman accounts ... only about two hundred million dollars, U.S."
"Only about two hundred million...?" Kent's acting skills continued as he took on an even more shocked expression. He'd been installing bits and pieces of the worm for months, testing it with small amounts of money that he knew no one would notice. When he'd finally activated it early in the day, it had not only taken the money Juan knew about, but would continue to seize accounts -- putting the blame on the FBI -- for several weeks to come ... amounting, ultimately, to almost $780 million. "Only...?
Juan gestured him silent again. "Go home. Go to work tomorrow. Don't do anything to draw attention to yourself. I'll contact you when the time is right."
Kent pretended to continue his concern, but eventually stood and departed, looking this way as if he expected the Feds to suddenly swoop in from every direction. He wasn't truly concerned, of course. He'd covered his tracks well, and he'd pointed the fingers at the FBI in a way that there was no reason for Juan to suspect him.
Of course, Kent couldn't have been so wrong: Juan Cordoba always suspected every one...
The waves crashing against the sea wall made recording conversations all but impossible. It was the reason why Juan Cordoba did most of his business here, where the Safe House's property line met the Pacific Ocean. He turned to the woman standing a few feet away and, after giving the beauty a very conspicuous once-over ogle, told her, "Find the money first. Then ... bring him to me ... alive ... so that I can hurt him in ways that he never imagined."
He looked to the file folder on the table behind him, then -- knowing there was nothing more to be said -- turned to look out upon the setting sun and the blood red colors spreading across the horizon before him.
There WILL be blood...
And yet, he couldn't help but glance around the office nervously. What he was doing would put him in a Federal Prison for the rest of his life ... which wouldn't be long since the Cordoba's could easily and quickly have him killed regardless of what kind of deal for immunity and relocation the Feds offered him for informing on the drug cartel.
