what it was.  “All you have to do is throw it to the ground, and it will cover up any… messes.  Just make sure you run like hell from it.  Only use it in an absolute emergency.”
    “You mean like if someone turns up?”
    “Yes, particularly the cops.  The last thing we want is for you to be arrested for this.  Speaking of which, one of my associates is currently establishing your alibi in a bar across town.”
    “You think of everything.”
    Madam smiled encouragingly.  “All part of the service.  Call me as soon as you’re done.  Now go.  On wrongs swift vengeance waits.  You’ve waited long enough, go enjoy your vengeance.”

    Miriam fumbled with her phone.  She could barely grip it because of the blood on her fingers.  When Madam finally answered, Miriam started crying.
    “She came home early,” she hiccupped.
    “Who?” asked Madam, as calm as ever despite Miriam’s frantic tone.
    “The housekeeper!” cried Miriam.  “She came home early.  I freaked out and left; I forgot to use the stone.  It was… oh god!  I’m sorry.  I fucked up and forgot everything you told me.”
    “Is he dead?  Did you finish the job?”
    “I… yes, I’m pretty sure he was dead.  There was so much blood.”
    Madam barely even paused before she started making hushing, soothing noises.  “My dear, do not fret, all is not lost.  I have a… well, let’s just say, a contact within the SEA.  I’ll make sure the evidence goes missing.  Remember, you already have an alibi in place; they won’t be able to arrest you for this.  Try not to cry – you’ve performed a great service to the world.  Don’t feel any pity for him.  He deserved this.  Now, you get yourself home, take a long shower and try and get some rest.  Leave everything to me.”

Chapter Five
    Jessie scowled at the computer.  “Why won’t you work?” she hissed at the screen.  The computer stared back at her giving nothing away.  “Yeah, come and work at the SEA,” she muttered, stabbing at her keyboard with ill-concealed fury.  “Smartly dressed idiots will kiss you before running away like you’ve eaten a whole plate of garlic flavored onions.  Ugh!  Work damnit!”  She slapped the side of her screen.
    Someone coughed, delicately.  “Everything okay, Jessie?”
    Her squirrel grumbled, and Jessie tried not to show her irritation.  “Hi, Robbie.”  She noticed a few other people in the office were casting furtive glances her way.  Maybe she should tone it down a bit.  “Sorry, just a little… ah… bad time of the month.”  She cringed about pulling out the ‘girly’ card, but there was no way she was going to admit the real reason for her perpetual bad mood.  Her parents hadn’t been able to extract it from her over the holidays – and they even resorted to bribing her with triple chocolate fudge cake.  This guy wasn’t going to get it out with sad puppy dog eyes and a boy-next-door charm.  Both of which did nothing for her ever since some asshat gave her the best kiss of her life, and didn’t even hang around to tell her his name.  She had to read it on his door!
    Robbie looked immediately off-color, and Jessie tried not to roll her eyes.  Clearly he fell into the large category of men who found the details of how ‘lady parts’ worked embarrassing.
    “Oh, umm, ah…”  His cheeks dusted with red.
    “I’m having a little trouble getting the search software to work,” she admitted.  It was a source of personal embarrassment.  She could get any computer, any program to work, and yet she was having problems with such a simple package as the one designed for even the agents who ran around waving a gun all day.  The computer illiterate muscled jocks.
    Robbie smiled, happy to be back on normal territory.  “Let me take a look.”
    He sat down next to her, flashing her a boy-next-door grin.  His arm brushed hers, and she inhaled his soapy scent.  Sigh .  He’d be perfect for her.
