Arthur stared gloomily at the magnificent scenery surrounding his Alaskan home. Looking out from his bedroom on the first floor, the towering snow-capped mountains on the horizon were bathed in the soft pinks of the early morning sun. Normally, it would have lifted his spirits but after a sleepless night worrying about his new program […]
There wasn’t much the youth could tell them. A man had given him a hundred dollars, handed him a hotel pageboy uniform and the parcel. He was instructed to place the gift on the table where Brett Gibson and his lady were sitting and say it was from the hotel manager. He had insisted that […]
Johansen smiled. They were smart but not that smart. His team had come back with the story about chasing the phones to obscure parts of Long Island. The SIM cards were missing from both phones. It was a dead end. However, Johansen was pretty sure that Brett had not realized that his name had been […]
Johansen was growing increasingly frustrated. Once they had established that the O’Reilly girl was looking into the affairs of his bosses, he had gotten his operatives to probe into her private life. They established she was living with a man called Brett Gibson in a Greenwich Village apartment. Johansen’s team had carefully broken into the […]
Brett stared out of the window. Seagulls were wheeling around above the yacht basin.

It was Sandy’s day in the office of the corporation where she was contracted as a programmer. She was only required to check in with them once a week, present her progress reports and receive any new briefings from her boss. The rest of week she worked at home and managed her time as she […]
His lady Sandy was back. Brett drove out to Kennedy to meet her. As he approached the airport, he wondered what she would say when he took her to his new apartment two blocks off Central Park. His previous place was now unsafe. He had come to the conclusion that it was time to admit […]
Zoltan was a wealthy man. He had made a fortune from various criminal activities, and the thing that made him so successful was that he never ever gave up.
