Chapter 17

Barrett woke up at 2 am and walked to the warehouse with Zeus and Hera. He did his forms and tai chi, then installed the remaining three cameras inside the warehouse. He put one facing the front entry and the second camera covering the rear and overhead doors. The third camera Barrett put outside his office, covering the hallway and his office door.

Then he took the photography studio computer and equipment upstairs and hooked everything up. It was all on the ground until he could get a table and rearrange the workshop. But Barrett wanted to see what programs the computer had for photography. It had a full version of Photoshop, which would do everything he needed. Then Barrett saw the computer also had a remote link to the DMV. He shut down the computer, closed the overhead access, locked the warehouse, and they headed home.

While showering, Barrett thought about what he needed to do at the warehouse. An alarm system was necessary, but it needed to be silent outside and communicate with his phone. An internal siren so loud to drive intruders out would be good. Some internal traps to hurt the intruders were also necessary, but he didn’t want any attention from the authorities.

After breakfast, Barrett put his hacking laptop in his backpack and went to the warehouse with Zeus and Hera. Using his WiFi hacking program, he identified three strong WiFi signals in the area and hacked into them. Then, he programmed the camera receiver to communicate on those WiFi signals. Finally, Barrett downloaded the camera system app to his phone and laptop. He checked, and he could see all the cameras at the warehouse on his phone and hacking laptop.

Barrett closed the overhead, locked the warehouse, and headed home. He showered, dressed, and told Nana he was going to Federal Judge Catherine Masters’ house for lunch. Zeus and Hera were waiting by the Silverado, so he let them accompany him. When they arrived, Barrett rang the doorbell and stepped to the side. Catherine answered the door, and Zeus and Hera went inside as if it were their house. She was shocked, and Barrett said hello, Mommy Rumbacheeks.

Catherine laughed so hard that she bent over and grabbed her knees to avoid falling. Barrett entered, squeezed her ass, and said aah, nice and firm, just how he likes them. Kiaya came to the door with Zeus and Hera and saw her mom laughing on her knees on the floor. Barrett asked Kiaya if it was normal for Mommy Rumbacheeks to greet guests that way. Kiaya laughed and pulled Barrett inside the house, leaving her mom.

Kiaya had the figure Berrett preferred, so he was emitting pheromones, and the cologne he wore enhanced them. When they went to the patio, out of Catherine’s sight, Kiaya hugged and French kissed Barrett while humping his leg. Then she came screaming into Barrett’s mouth and fainted. He sat her on a lounge chair and went inside to see how Catherine was doing.

Zeus and Hera supervised Catherine while making lunch, and she saw Barrett enter the kitchen. Catherine saw him and asked how he had come up with the story, which he told Attorney General Daniel Hurr. Barrett laughed and said he had to embellish the incident so Daniel wouldn’t ask too many questions. Barrett said his Nana thought it was funny, didn’t she? Catherine said yes, but the FBI director and several FBI agents, including the Attorney General and me, were there, too.

Barrett said that explains all the laughter he heard on the phone. Kiaya entered the kitchen and asked what they were talking about, and Barrett said your mom’s glutes caused everyone to laugh. Desperate to change the subject, Catherine asked Barrett how he got here. Barrett said he drove his truck, and the conversation about how he got his license continued while they ate lunch.

At the end of lunch, Kiaya and Catherine wanted to see his truck. They were amazed he restored the Silverado himself but were shocked to find out it was the third vehicle he had restored. Barrett said that he would bring the Hummer the next time he visited. There is so much room in the back you could fit a queen-sized bed. Catherine told Kiaya she wasn’t going for rides in that, and Barrett told Catherine she could tag along and observe, and everyone laughed.

After hugs and kisses goodbye, Barrett, Zeus, and Hera drove home. Catherine and Kiaya practically ran to their rooms, stripped off their clothes, and masturbated to orgasm twice. Barrett’s pheromones were emitting again when Kiaya hugged and kissed him, and Catherine benefited, too. His scent was on their clothes from the contact, and they smelled them while reaching their climax.

Antonio DeMarco was pissed four of his men were arrested outside Alberto’s, an upscale Mexican restaurant. Antonio asked Dante why the crew was outside the restaurant parked. They were supposed to do a drive-by and fire rounds into the restaurant, not park. Dante said he didn’t know, but now the Mexicans and the Feds know they were tied to the attacks and the attempted murder of a Federal Judge.

Antonio told Dante to silence the crew in jail ASAP. We can’t afford for the idiots to talk or make a deal or allow the Mexicans to get to them first. Dante asked Antonio about the men, and Antonio said to arm them and prepare for war. Dante left to follow Antonio’s orders, and Antonio began planning to leave the country. He knew the FBI would kick in his door shortly, and he wasn’t going to rot in jail. Antonio made one mistake and emailed a friend to help make his travel arrangements.

Arriving home, Barrett looked online for alarm systems that met his needs. The website was Security Warehouse, and they offered a package of the control box, battery, three wireless door sensors, two wireless motion detectors, and two wireless keypads. Barrett added two exterior high-decibel sirens, an overhead door sensor, and 200 feet of wire. Now, he needed to rent a PO Box at the Post Office or a Mail Center like a UPS Store. Questions would be asked if it was mailed to the house.

The next morning, after exercising and showering, Barrett checked his stocks and the market. Hardin Pharmaceuticals went up to 52.10 on the news they got FDA approval on a new drug to treat cancer. Barrett set his sell point at $125 a share for 2000 shares. USBC Electronics announced they entered into an agreement with GMAC to supply the computers for all GMAC vehicles. Their stock shot up to $43.90 a share, and Barrett set a selling point of $89.00 for 7,000 shares. Lock Technology was up to $36.75 a share, and Nvidia and Gold were up, so he was happy.

Then Barrett hooked up his hacking laptop, logged into High Flyers Club using Dean Paul’s password, and checked their recommendations. Denton Plastics, Grove Chemicals, and XTRA Industries were recommended buys. Then he checked Excelsior Investments’ three partners’ computers. Harlan Tate, Knox Corcoran, and Dean Paul had installed cameras in their homes to monitor their wives’ activities. Barrett also saw they had opened new accounts in the Cayman Islands.

After breakfast, Barrett went to his dog training appointment. When he finished his dog training, Barrett went to Bridget’s, and there was a note on the kitchen door. Her mom had a stroke, and she had to fly home. Bridget left her phone number for Barrett to call her because she didn’t have his number. Barrett laughed, walking home because there was a reason he didn’t give it to her. Bridget’s husband and brothers were involved in the drug trade, and he didn’t want to take the risk.

When he arrived home, Barrett took Zeus and Hera with him and drove the Silverado to check out the mail centers in the area. He found a Stanton Mail Center a block away from the YMCA. They handled FedEx and UPS and were independently owned. The counter clerk, Brad, was happy to rent Barrett a PO Box when he offered to pay a year in advance cash.
