"Senator, I have got news of Storm. He met up with his daughter at Chinatown. Kats, Ontario and Tony are all in hospital. Richard O’Malley was se-verely injured and brought to ...” “Michael. You may be a high-ranked officer at the Metropolitan Police Department, but I helped you up there. Therefore, you have no authority to interrupt me while I am entertaining a friend in the Jacuzzi.” Senator Vernon Trent glared at the tall, wiry, dark-haired man standing at the side of the pool. “Furthermore, I don’t care what happens Kats, his gang, or Richard O’Malley — they are just small fry. What I want, is Mason Storm. I want him found, arrested and the cassette he’s carrying around to be destroyed. I would much prefer him done away with, but considering all the buffoons I have working for me, that is really too difficult. In the state of mind that he is in currently, he may just come after me. Step up on security around the man-sion and put more people outside the boy’s door. If Storm comes, that will be the first place he’ll strike first.” Vernon Trent snapped at the Detective-Inspector Michael Field. “How about the video tape Jerry Dunphy says he has?” “That damned tape. Go to the CNN office, find it, destroy it. If it goes on air, I’ll be on the biggest ‘Candid Camera’ special of all time, and my career will be over. I don’t care how much money you spend bribing people on this, I want the fucking thing gone from the world. Got it?” The Senator poked Field’s chest. “Christ! I knew I should have made sure that Storm was properly dead eight years ago. And if you fools hadn’t blundered, the whole Storm family would be dead. Now, you. Don’t come in here and disturb me again unless you have something really important to tell me, you hear? Get out.” “Yes sir, Senator.” Michael Field nodded rap-idly and left the room. The Inspector’s footsteps gradually faded away. Vernon Trent sat with his arm around his latest paramour for a while, before pushing her away. “Amber, we won’t be able to make it for the opera tonight, too many things have cropped up. I’ll give you another call in a few days. For now, go take a hike.” Amber pouted and opened her mouth to speak. “Don’t you understand English woman? I said scram!” the Senator shouted. Amber sniffed disgustedly, and got out of the pool, water cascading off her nude body.
