Chapter 11
Early the next morning, he went to the garage gym and did his martial arts workout. Then he practiced his Stealth Walk and Strikes. When he finished, Raiden returned to his apartment and cleaned up. Raiden drove to Denny’s for breakfast and then reported to the crisis center. Raiden signed in under his alias, William Carlson, and checked out the FBI freebie booth. Surprised to see tactical boots, he grabbed a pair of his size. There were also pocket rechargeable flashlights, so he took two.
Then Will checked the crisis server, and there weren’t any issues. Then he had a premonition. Alana was in trouble, so Will signed out and rushed back to his apartment. Raiden approached Alana’s house from the back and peeked in the kitchen window. Two goons had Alana in a kitchen chair, threatening her. One held Alana down by her shoulders, and the other man was choking her. Raiden teleported inside and knocked both men out before they knew what was happening.
Alana hugged Will, thanking him for saving her. She said the men said her ex-husband, Nolan Weber, had files of theirs and threatened to kill her. Will asked if she knew what they were talking about, and Alana said no, that Nolan had never brought work home. He asked if she wanted to call the police, and Alana said no, please, get them out of here. Will told Alana he’d take care of them and carried both men to their SUV in the driveway.
After putting them in the back seat, Will drove the SUV behind a nearby strip center. He pulled them out, took their wallets and cell phones, and then beat them up. There was a Chinese restaurant, so he threw them in the dumpster and parked their SUV in a bar parking lot. Will wiped down the areas he touched, left the keys in the ignition, and returned to Alana’s house. On the way back, one of the men’s cell phones rang, and Will answered it. He identified himself as an FBI Agent, then asked who was calling, and the caller hung up.
Alana welcomed Will like a conquering hero upon his return. She made Will lunch, and they sat at the kitchen table. Alana said her late husband, Nolan, was having an affair with his assistant. She caught him, kicked him out, and filed for divorce. Then, he died while scuba diving on a business trip before the court hearing, so it was canceled. Alana asked what had happened to the men, and Will told her not to worry; they wouldn’t be a problem.
When they finished lunch, Will told Alana he needed to return to work. She hugged and kissed him passionately, thanking him again. Will returned to the crisis center, where he caught a Homeland Security agent in the server room. He had a device ready to plug into the server bank. Will grabbed the man, twisted his arm behind his back, and yelled for security. They arrived, handcuffed the agent, and took him away. Then, he spent the rest of the afternoon checking the server programming to be sure it wasn’t tampered with.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric Crowder stopped Will when he was signing out for the day. He thanked Will for stopping the intruder and asked him to get a digital lock for the server room. On the way to his apartment, Raiden stopped at Home Depot and picked up the digital door lock. Then he stopped at Pizza Hut, got a pizza for dinner, and returned to his apartment. Raiden ate his pizza with a bottle of the special water. He thought about his action-packed day. When he finished, Raiden locked up and went to bed.
Antonio Benelli was irate about his men getting caught by the FBI. He sent them to search his accountant Nolan Weber’s house and interrogate his wife. The PI he hired disappeared, and he needed his banking information. Antonio suspected Nolan was stealing, and the fool died scuba diving before he could get his records. Now with the FBI involved, he was screwed. He couldn’t afford to bring more attention to his operation and hoped his men would keep their mouths shut.
Tuesday morning, Raiden looked at the goon’s wallets. They both had Italian names, so it confirmed they were mob enforcers. He took the cash and saw that one had a Benelli Imports credit card. Raiden looked up Benelli Imports on Google and found they were based in Boston. On the way to Denny’s for breakfast, he threw the goon’s cellphones and wallets into a storm drain but kept the credit card. After breakfast, he went to the crisis center and signed in using his alias, William Carlson.
The first thing he did was install the new digital lock on the server room door. Then he helped himself to more goodies from the FBI booth. He got two 32-ounce insulated drink cups and two pairs of tactical pants and shirts in black. Returning to the server room, he checked it and corrected the error messages. Will then checked the terminal activity, and one FBI agent was using his government-issued laptop. He said yes, and now he had access to the FBI’s mainframe computer.
Once the agent logged off, Will logged on using the agent’s login and password. Then he hacked into the mainframe and added his alias, William Carlson, to the agent database. He gave himself top-secret security clearance and unrestricted access as a network programmer. Then Will created a login and password, logged off, and laughed at how easy it was. There was nothing more to do, so he locked the server room, signed out, and returned to his apartment.
Upon arrival, Raiden worked on his server, removing personal information, including that of the FBI agent who used his government-issued laptop. Then, he prepared the update and sent it to the SAC secure server. While the update was uploading, Raiden ate dinner and read the local news online. When the upload finished, he shut off his laptop and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Raiden went to the garage gym and did his martial arts workout. Then he practiced his Stealth Walk and Strikes. When he finished, Raiden returned to his apartment and cleaned up. Then he packed his dirty clothes and went to Denny’s for breakfast. Several agents from the crisis center were there, and he overheard them saying the crisis center would shut down within two weeks. He finished breakfast and went to the crisis center.
After signing in under his alias, Will went to the server room. He checked the server, and everything was fine. Then he checked the terminals, and everything was normal. So, with nothing to do, he locked the server room, signed out, and headed home. Raiden arrived home before lunch, and everyone was surprised. Martha asked Raiden to help her in the lab after lunch, and he agreed. Carmen and Sofia asked Raiden how school was going, and he lied and said it was challenging.
Martha and Raiden went to the lab after lunch, and she asked if they could get more water from the secret pond. Raiden agreed and got eight-gallon bottles, then went to the stables. They saddled the horses, and he took the route through the trees so no one could observe their destination. When they arrived and dismounted, the horses immediately began drinking the water. They filled the gallon bottles, and Martha stripped and poured a gallon over her head.
She said that was invigorating and encouraged Raiden to do the same. Raiden knew Martha meant stimulating but stripped and poured the water over his head. She laughed at his erection, but her nipples and clit were erect too. After drying off, they dressed and headed back to the stables. Martha took the water bottles to the lab, and Raiden cared for the horses. He noticed only twelve water bottles in the refrigerator when he got to the lab.
That meant she used or everyone drank over four gallons of water while he was gone. He was all for personal use but didn’t want to get into production for sale. Raiden knew that was on Martha’s mind, but it would be a royal pain in the ass. They would spend much time going to the pond for little financial gain. Then Martha asked how much they should sell the 20-ounce bottles of water. Raiden said he thought it wasn’t worth the risk and effort.
Martha asked what the risk was, and he said someone was finding out where the source water was. Another risk was someone overindulging, which created a medical emergency. Martha said she hadn’t thought about it but agreed it was too risky to pursue. Raiden read Martha’s mind, and she was thinking of other ways to market the water. He told her to consider her reaction to a lotion and water mix. What would happen if someone applied the nighttime lotion while drinking a bottle and spilled it on themselves?
Martha said oh my god, you’re right and said let’s keep the water for personal consumption, and Raiden gladly agreed. He was happy he had put Martha in a trance so she couldn’t remember the secret pond location. Then it hit him where the missing gallons of water went, and Martha must have been pouring it on her while he was gone.
He didn’t mind her using it that way as long as Carmen and Sofia didn’t find out. They locked the lab and went to clean up for dinner.
When his men didn’t call or ask for his attorney, Antonio Benelli called his attorney, Mike Rizzo. He instructed him to check with the FBI, South Dakota authorities, and hospitals to find his men. Mike didn’t like the assignment, but he couldn’t refuse it. The men were not in custody or in a hospital. That left only a few options, and Mike didn’t like giving Antonio Benelli bad news. But he had no choice and went to the Benelli estate.
When Mike Rizzo walked into Antonio Benelli’s study, Antonio knew it was bad news. Mike said he had checked with the FBI, South Dakota authorities, and the hospitals in the area. Your men are not in custody, the hospital, or the morgue. Antonio asked what that meant, and Mike stiffened and said the most likely answer was witness protection. Antonio said shit and threw his bourbon glass against the wall. Mike warned Antonio against doing anything more because he was now on the FBI’s radar.
Thursday morning, Raiden went to his workshop in the basement. He saw the rock samples he took from the hillside by the secret pond. He gathered them and brought them to the lab. Raiden ran the samples through the new analyzer, and they contained minerals but had several unidentified compounds. Then, he cross-referenced his findings with the water analysis. They were almost identical, and he wondered if something had happened long ago in the area.
Raiden cleaned the work area, picked up rock samples, and returned to his workshop. He put the samples on a shelf, went to his room, cleaned up, and went to the kitchen. Sofia left with Ria and Tia to take them to the bus stop. Martha arrived, and they ate breakfast with Carmen. Martha asked Raiden for help in the lab and said okay. When they finished breakfast, they went to the lab. They ran tests on the computer for the rest of the morning.
After lunch, Martha returned to the lab, and Raiden went to the stables. He saddled Roxie, and they rode to the hidden pond. Roxie drank her fill, and he walked around the pond. Raiden picked up small rocks around the pond and looked for its drain point. When he couldn’t find one, Raiden looked at the back of the hill. There was a small waterfall mixing with another stream down the hillside. So, the pond had to be spring-fed, then he had an idea. He climbed down a rock ledge, stripped, and stood under the waterfall.
Raiden felt invigorated but also energized. That was different from pouring the water over his head, and he wondered what caused it. He stepped behind the waterfall, and there was a small alcove. The rocks in the alcove sparkled, and he felt an energy rush, then got dizzy. Raiden exited the alcove, dressed, and rode back to the stables. On the way, he thought about the pond, waterfall, and alcove. He needed to explore the hillside more to see if he could identify the cause.
When he arrived home, Raiden cared for Roxie, then went to his room and cleaned up. While drying off from his shower, Raiden noticed his skin seemed to glow, which must have been from the energy rush. He’d need to take samples of the rocks inside the alcove and test them. The water vapor from the waterfall might have activated something in the rocks. He put on his robe and went to the kitchen for dinner.
Friday morning, Raiden went to his basement dojo and did martial arts exercises. He also seemed to have more energy and noticed this while practicing his Stealth Walk and Strikes. Returning to his room, Raiden thought about testing the alcove rocks. He decided to use Owen’s old lab because theirs wasn’t set up for that type of testing. When he finished, he returned to his room, cleaned up, and went to the kitchen.
After breakfast, Martha and Raiden went to town to get supplies. Their first stop was for lab supplies. Then Martha dropped off a box of 24 bottles of skin lotion to UPS. The next stop was the market, and then they headed home. Carmen and Sofia put away the groceries while Raiden and Martha took care of the lab supplies. When they were done, everyone met in the kitchen for lunch.
During lunch, Raiden could tell Martha, Sofia, and Carmen were anxious about getting to the hot springs. They hurried and went to the stables when they finished. After saddling the horses, they rode to the cave, and Raiden tethered them. Then he removed the camouflage opening, and the females rushed inside. Raiden closed the opening, then undressed and entered the hot springs. He sat down, then climaxed hard and passed out.
