Chapter 4

After he finished eating Dan rode around looking for the right place to have a meeting with Adrianne. It had to be some place that had a large open area around it so that he could watch Adrianne when she came to "visit" him. He had to be sure that she didn't call for someone to follow her and jump him when he identified himself. Dan knew that a lot of his plan relied on how well he could bluff and how scared Adrianne was of her position with the Judge.

He found a small Mom and Pop motel just outside of town. The area hadn't built up yet and the closest structure was over a thousand feet away.

He went inside and rented a room for three days. He told the motel owner that he was with an out-of-state firm and that he would be in and out at all hours while working on his project. He asked that the housekeeping staff let the housekeeping slid until he checked out to avoid waking him if he was sleeping during the day. The owner was all too happy to accommodate him as he paid the two women that cleaned the rooms by the room.

Dan went to a phone to make his first call to Adrianne. The phone rang three times before she answered sweetly. Dan listened to see if he could hear any noise on the phone or if anyone else was in the house. Adrianne said hello twice.

"Hello Adrianne," Dan said, "How do you like the pictures?"

"Who the hell is this?' she shouted into the phone, "How did you get those pictures?"

"Pretty good pictures aren't they?" he said with a chuckle.

"You bastard, what do you want?"

"My, my Adrianne how you do talk. I just want to get to know you better. I think that you and I can have a lot of fun together."

"What do you mean?" she snapped.

"I'll explain it when we meet."

"If you think that I'm going to meet you anywhere you're out of your sick mind."

"Which of those pictures do you think that I should send to the Judge?"

"You wouldn't dare. The Judge would crucify you. He runs this town."

"Adrianne, I doubt that the Judge would appreciate you sucking the sheriff's cock right out in broad daylight. I'm not all that sure that your marriage would out last the scandal if those pictures just happened to turn up on the Internet. If the Judge bounced your ass on the sidewalk, where would you go?"

"Ok, where do you want to meet?"

Dan smiled as he realized that she was worried that he really would show the Judge the pictures. He just had one flaw in his plan. He had to get Adrianne's cell phone number so that he could call her when she was away from the house.

"I'll call you again at home later today. You'd better be there or the Judge gets a pack of pictures. I have over two hundred pictures of you and I'm sure that the Judge would be interested in some of your many activities."

He heard her gasp, "My God, have you been following me? Please don't bring my friends into this."

Dan grinned. He wondered what secrets Adrianne was talking about. What was she doing behind the Judge's back?

Dan hung up without answering her. He had to get a couple of throw-away cell phones. He spied a Seven-Eleven a couple of blocks down and headed for it. The Seven-Elevens sometimes sold the throw-away phones in the poorer neighborhoods.

Dan was in luck. The store had the phones and he bought two without even having to give his name or anything. He tested the phones before he left the store.

Once he was back in his car he called Adrianne again and when she answered the phone he said, "Adrianne this is your best friend again. I'm going to give you a phone number. I wouldn't waste time trying to trace it because it's a stolen phone. Drive to the end of your street and call me from your cell phone."

He immediately hung up and waited for the call. Within ten minutes his new phone rang. Dan grinned; the dumb bitch was too stupid to realize that her cell phone number was now appearing on his cell phone. He directed her to drive to a spot about a block from his motel and to come alone. He told her that he would give her further directions when she reached that spot. Dan hurried back to the motel room that he had rented. He began to wait for Adrianne.

In about a half an hour he saw a car pull to the curb where he had told her to drive to. She got out of the car and looked around with the cell phone in her hand. She kept looking down the road in the direction that she had come from. Dan looked to where she was looking and he saw a car parked about two thousand feet from her. The man in the car was watching her closely. From that distance Dan couldn't be sure but the man looked like the Sheriff.

Dan let her wait for about ten minutes before he dialed her cell number, "Oh Adrianne, you haven't played the game right. You had to call your boyfriend, the sheriff. I told you to come alone. Now you must pay. The Judge gets a few select photos of what his wife does behind his back."
