I wake up at 6:00 every morning and take five minutes to wake up. I often sleep in my bra and panties, you’d be surprised how freeing it feels. After I grab my pink gown, I go down stairs for my morning coffee. I’d never get through the day without it. I heard that Rick finally closed that cheating spouse case. That poor woman must be tearing herself up right now, but Rick has an uncanny ability to make people feel better. As I sit at the table I think about how things have been.

When Rick first started private heroes, business was slow. Nobody really took us seriously. I was beginning to worry that we’d have to close before the end of the first year. But desperation got the best of some people and we finally got clients with low level problems as far as we were concerned. Nevertheless we took them on as clients and completed the work to the best of our abilities. I remember our first case was body guarding duties for a partying teenager. The daughter of some big shot lawyer who didn’t want his daughter hitting the clubs without protection. We did the job and got a handsome paycheck. Apparently Mr big shot lawyer spread the word about our work and we began getting more clients. Things really took off after that and we started needing more people who Rick would recruit and train. Since I’m on the intelligence end I didn’t receive any, but apparently it’s brutal. When David told me about it he said he thought he was gonna die. Apparently you get trained in hand to hand combat, knife and gun control. I guess its handy with Rick being ex CIA.

I’m shaken outta my thoughts by the phone ringing. I answer it and instantly get bombarded with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!” from Rick. “Sorry I didn’t catch that?” I say sarcastically getting a laugh from Rick. “Happy birthday Kat (his nickname for me).” I smile and say “Thanks Rick, so im getting a present right?” “Oh yeah! Your getting something.” He replies I imagine with a devilish grin. “Something long and hard I hope.” “well I honestly cannot say. Its not like I went around comparing it to others.” That gives me an image in my head which makes me laugh. “So I don’t want to see you at work today. Take a day off.” Says Rick pulling rank on me. “No im coming in. I’ve got nothing to do at home. All my friends are at work. So that’s where I’ll be.” “I guess it’s pointless arguing with you.” “yes it is.” I say simply. “Alright I’ll see you later but we’re going out tonight!” He says firmly. “Yes we are!” I say just as sternly. “Ok I’ll see you later.” We say our goodbyes and hang up.

After I put down the phone I have breakfast. Since it’s my birthday I think I deserve a treat. Honey and jam pancakes. Yum! After breakfast I jump in the shower before getting dressed for work. My favourite black and red bra with matching panties. Add that to my more or less see through white buttoned shirt with short sleeves, guys will be choking on their coffee as I walk by. I slide on my short black skirt and undo the top three buttons of my shirt allowing a little bit of boob out. Once im done brushing my hair and applying my makeup I grab my bag and keys and leave for work.

Finally I arrive at work. I grab a coffee from the coffee room while getting a few wolf whistles from whoevers in the room. Even some of the women in the room. I walk away with a smirk and some sway in my hips. I hear someone say “birthday girl looking fine!” I look back and see it’s David who said it as he grins at me. I blow him a kiss and head to my office.

Rick…

I’m heading towards Katy’s office thinking of her birthday present. Everything is set. I just need to get her to the location. Luckily I have a plan. Knocking on Katy’s door I hear her gasping before I hear “Um.. Come in!” I walk in and see her sat and her table. She looks flushed. Her breathing is heavy and her fists are clenched. “Are you ok?” I ask confused. “Uhuh!” She replies nodding. “okay I just wanted to ask you a favour.” I say pulling out an old file. As I place it on the table in front of her I notice she’s really trying hard to stay focused on me. “Can you take this to ark 5 please, just put it in the closed case box.” While im talking to her she takes a sharp gasp. Now I know something’s up. “Hey what’s wrong. Are you feeling alright?” I reach over and run the back of my hand across her forehead to feel for a temperature. Its at that moment she gets a panicked expression and pushes my hand away. “Yeah Rick im fine honestly. I’ll get it done after work ok.” I give her a suspicious look but say ok and leave the office. Wonder what came over her?

Katy..

Fuck that was close.
