Chapter 1

It was Monday early in September. Six men sitting at a conference table discussing their latest target. This time it was a high school teacher which was rare for them. Usually it was a powerful executive, or political target. These men were part of a larger organization that specialized in revenge. Their skills were unique, but highly skilled. Each was an expert in their own field, ranging from computers, to finance, to stealth, to law, to combat, to intelligence. Together they made a powerful team that could, with a deposit of a few thousand dollars, extract revenge from just about anyone.

Their newest target had at some time in her past, ruined the life of their newest client. This particular target was unusual because they normally would extract revenge by taking the targets wealth, status, and humiliating them publically. Effectively ruining their lives and leaving them broken.

A moderate to lower middle class teacher usually didn’t do anything that required their attention. Today they gathered to discuss the particulars of this revenge.

“Okay everyone, it’s time to get started. I’ve passed out the portfolio on our newest person of interest. Our client wants to remain anonymous as usual, but has paid the required fee of $50,000. As you can see this target, Anna Sommers, doesn’t fit our normal profile of a target, but she certainly will pay. Because of her limited financial means, we won’t use our usual tactics to take away her wealth, she and her family live paycheck to paycheck. There’s really nothing to take. However that means we need to use other means to bring her down.” Joseph stated. Joseph was the leader of this team.

“Do we know what she did to deserve this?” Asked Andrew, the computer expert.

“Apparently, she was the client’s son’s teacher a few years back and discovered several athletes cheating on an exam. He was a star athlete and was destined for the pros. Instead of handling it in house, she decided to publically expose how the athletes at the school got preferential treatment at the school and used our client’s son as an example, even though he hadn’t cheated. She refused to believe that he wasn’t involved. He was expelled and even though he wasn’t among the athletes that were cheating, he lost everything. Now his father is in a position to get back at the woman who was responsible for destroying his son’s dreams.”

“Well how are we going to go about this? Are there any particular things our client has requested as punishments?” Jason asked. Jason was the “Stealth” member of the crew. By stealth he was a very accomplished thief. Capable of picking any lock, pick any pocket, and generally be invisible.

“Our client has decided that 30 days payment should be enough to extract from her. But when we are done, she will not be able to teach again. And short of prison only be able to do menial jobs from now on.” Joseph answered.

“What about her family?” Martin asked.

“She is married to Carl, it is her first marriage and his second. He is 45, she is 32. Carl has a 19 year old daughter from a previous marriage named Sarah. She’s a freshman at the state college. Normally we don’t have to go after the family, as we have other means to extract revenge. But because they aren’t wealthy or have much in the way of assets, and so far nothing has popped up to blackmail her, we might be forced to include them in her payment.”

Kyle and James sat quietly listening to the discussion. Finally Kyle asked, “Does that mean we get to fuck her or her daughter?”

“Kyle is that all you think of?” Joseph asked.

“Well I haven’t had a piece of teacher ass since I was in college.” Kyle laughed.

“Our client did say he wants her to be brought to her knees so yeah probably.”

“Can I have the daughter?” James added.

“I’m sure that by the time we are done, they all will be fucked.” Joseph answered.

“So what is the plan?” Andrew asked trying to move forward.

“Anna and Carl are both in very sensitive positions. Carl is an engineer at a large conservative accounting firm that will not tolerate any unseemly conduct. The owner is very religious and any employee that is publically attached to any type of scandal is fired and driven out of the industry. Anna is the chairman of districts moral’s board, plus her father is a local preacher and councilman. Any sexual scandal would be devastating. We should use that to start. Once they give in the first time they are ours. By the end of the 30 days, their lives will be forever changed.” Joseph explained.

The rest of the meeting the six went over details of how they would spring the trap and start Anna’s payments.

Anna walked back to her desk after seeing her last class out the door. She taught AP History and English at a prestigious private school in an affluent suburb. Anna was just about to leave when she notice an envelope on her desk. Strange, she thought, that wasn’t there before. She opened it and pulled out the contents. The first thing she notice was the paper felt strange. It was paper but for some reason it didn’t feel right. It felt like very fragile. She carefully unfolded it and read.

A second later her phone buzzed notifying her of a text message. The one sentence text cause her to gasp.

You must respond accepting your 30 day punishment and include a picture of you nude within 30 minutes.

Anna read the text and the letter again. At first she thought it was a prank from one of her students. She tried to think of who it could be. Then the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Picking up her phone, she responded.

‘I will not do any such thing. I’m going to call the police and hand them the letter and show them the text if I hear from you ever again. I have not wronged anyone.’

Anna sat there fuming, deciding on if she should report it to the school security. She started to gather her things and straighten up the classroom. She was on the other side of the room when her phone buzzed again. She walked over and picked it up.

Time’s up, you will pay!

Ten seconds later, the text message disappeared. Anna searched her phone but it was totally gone. She checked the deleted folder and history and all traces of the text was gone. Now she was a little scared. How could whoever sent it be able to erase it from her phone. She decided to put the letter away just in case. She grabbed the envelope and looked inside.

“Oh my god,” She gasped. Inside the envelope was nothing but dust. All evidence of being contacted was gone. It was all gone leaving nothing more than her memory of the entire experience. Anna decided to ignore the threat and gathered her things to go home.

Anna usually got home a couple hours before Carl, but today his car was already in the driveway. Smiling she parked her car and walked in. She was glad he was home early as she was still shaken from earlier.

“What are you doing home dear?” She asked.

“You sent me a text to come home early. You said it was an emergency and to meet you at home. I just got home. What is the emergency?” He answered.

Anna walked up to him and gave him a hug.

She was debating on if she should tell him about the letter and texts. “I didn’t send you any messages, but it’s nice you’re home. I had something very strange happen...”

She started when both of their phone buzzed.
