Chapter 85

Senators case was paused for a while, other issues of greater importance took the centre stage. Hart was to go on a trip, Chase' director was part of his team too. He chose Alicia to accompany him. It was partly an internationally recognized security training and the agency as always had to be represented. The preparation for the trip though not a problem, but being Alicia's first trip for such, she needed chase' help. They went to the mall, selected some good outfit both formal and informal, then other important things she would be needing to look good and smell good were added to the list. While the day drew near, Chase and Brenda began to feel the impact of Alicia's absence. Being that the trio had always been together, for so long now, they had an attachment that was stronger than blood. It was as if something would be missing within the house. The day finally came and Alicia left, Chase drove her to the office that morning to meet with the director and join him in the official car to the airport. When they got to the office, the director was already waiting, so it didn't take time for them to transfer her luggage from the Hyundai Genesis to the office Toyota Hilux. Alicia got into the front seat and they left, while Chase drove back to the house. He had barely driven up to 15 minutes, when he got a call from the office that his attention was urgently needed. Immediately he made a U-TURN the spot and sped off to the office. On his arrival, he saw a few agents standing around one of the cars. He hurriedly came down from his car and walked up to them. They took him around the premises of the office complex, and show him bullet holes both on the walls and on some of the cars. Chase was shocked, the agency since inception, had never experienced a jail break attempt. Moreover, it was most surprising since no one was expected to have known where the senator was being held. For Chase, of what he was thinking came out as true, then they have a bigger problem in their hands. He quickly called the directors number, but it wasn't available, an indication that they must have got to the airport and possibly boarded. He decided to give Ben Harts line a trial, fortunate, it rang. Ben's voice came through from the other end, he called Chase by his name and was about to do the usual exchange of pleasantries, but Chase cut him short with the news. Ben couldn't believe it, he asked Chase few questions before informing him that he was on his way to the airport for his trip out of the country. He promised him a team of special squad and asked him to wait for them as they would be leaving immediately via a helicopter. The call was ended, Chase gathered the agents around and directed them to guard the inner part of the building even as he told them some special squad was coming to help beef up the area. 

The agents did not waste time to follow his orders, knowing that he was the topmost in rank and a special agent. Meanwhile, while he was trying to make sure everything was okay, Brenda kept calling to know why he wasn't back yet. He would pick her call and tell her he would soon be with her, after a while, she would call back. This happened few times that Chase decided not to pick her calls again. There was no way he would tell her what happened on phone, it was against the work ethics. So he concentrated on the job, making sure everyone understood what to do. It didn't take time for the helicopters carrying the special squad to arrive, it lowered itself a little above head level and allowed the agents climb down through the ladder. As soon as the last agent dropped down, the pilots hovered around a little before taking off back to where they came from. The agents stood around Chase and saluted him. They were already briefed before they left, so they knew he was in charge of their operation. The instruction was based on the fact that the director who was supposed to have received them was unavoidably absent. Chase spoke to them for a while, he then introduced them to the agents on ground, before assigning them to their various posts and positions. The order was to shoot on sight anyone who was seen with a weapon within the premise, except that person was identified as an agent. They wouldn't afford to take what happened lightly, the shootout between the agents and the intruders was a serious issue. Chase told them that they should be strict for now, even in the day times, until they investigate and ascertain who was responsible for the alleged attack on their facility. They would have to know what their mission was, and who directed them. 

Once he was through and sure that everything was in order, he called Brenda back, and told her that he was on his way. Then he sent a message to Hart informing him what have been done and the situation on ground. Having done all that, he got into the car and left the office. Chase'love for cars was out of this world, not to talk of sporty ones. He usually say, that whenever he was through with the agency job, he would go for car racing sports. It was his best sports on TV. He would always time in to ESPN when he wasn't watching news. He took his time to drive out from the office and to the junction where he negotiated to his right and once he hit the major road, he moved into the speed lane. Seeing that the road was free, Chase pushed the car to overdrive and matched down the throttle, this made the car to roar loudly, as it changed automatically the gears and moving at a flashing speed. All he had in mind was to surprise Brenda by getting home as soon as positive covering all the delays he had back there in the office. He never knew he had crossed the approved speed limit for the class of road he was driving on. It was the sound of the siren from the power bike of the police traffic officers that made him slow down and pull over by the side of the road. He waited in the car for them, when they arrived, they asked him his driver's license and his identity, he brought out his international drivers license and handed it over to them, then he handed them his identity card, which when they saw it, they smiled and handed them back to him. They advised him not to drive that way and on such speed on that class of road unless he was in an official car and on emergency. As soon as they left, Chase continued his journey, but this time, he drove within the speed limit allocated on the road. 

He arrived home early enough too, parked the car beside the BMW, then he went into the house where he met Brenda sitting down watching E! On TV. As it is with women, when Brenda saw him drove in, she pretended that she was angry, and when he walked into the house, she didn't say a word, neither did she greet. On seeing this, Chase felt guilty of causing her emotional trauma, so he walked up to her and hugged her, but she gave him a cold attitude. Chase thought of what to do to appease her, he had apologized, said sorry, promised some money, but non of these things moved her. He went silent for some time, thinking hard for a solution, suddenly, something came into his mind;

Okay dear, go in and dress up, I will take you out now. He said casually.

Brenda jumped on her feet and jumped in him, hugging him tightly and kissing him passionately. She became excited as her countenance changed immediately. Chase couldn't believe it was such a thing which he would ordinarily regard as nothing that finally saved him. Although he would have loved to rest after the unplanned work he did at the office, he decided to sacrifice his time for her. While Brenda went in to freshen up, Chase also got into his room for a quick shower and a change of cloth. He could hear Brenda singing a melodious song in her room, it was a love song and he felt she must be singing it for him, so while the water was pouring on him, he steadied himself, and enjoyed the song as he listened. At a point in the song, he would hear his name added where he artist mentioned a name. This made him smile, thinking of Brenda as a lovable young girl. 

Chase came out of the bathroom, changed into a sporty attire, a black jeans trouser and a blue color t-shirt, and a beautiful black Puma Sneakers. He had to put on a cologne and when he was through, he looked at himself in the mirror, appreciated what he saw, then walked to the sitting room waiting for Brenda. He knew that when it comes to going out, women would love to look their best, so he sat down comfortably and patiently waiting for her. His phone beeped, he took it out from his pocket and checked, it was a reply message from Hart, he just finished reading it when a call came through. When he picked, it was his director, he had heard what happened at the office the moment he left, so he called to hear from Chase. Chase took time to explain on details what happened, then he added the role he played, by reaching out to Hart when his number wasn't reachable, telling him how Hart sent agents to beef up security around the office. The director was happy at the level of intelligence exhibited by Chase and he appreciated him for that. When he finished with the call, he turned his head and saw her standing behind him, she was looking differently, it was as if he was meeting her for the first time ever, he hadn't seen the beauty that was radiating from her that moment before. She was dressed in a short or what might be called a hit mini white lace gown, a white female adidas sneakers, and beautiful Prada lens, the big size on her face. He managed to give her a peck, avoiding the conspicuous lipstick that was on her lips. 

You look beautiful, Chase said

Thank you, she replied. You look handsome too. She added.

Chase thanked her, then he asked where they were going, Brenda thought for a while before telling him to take her to Kentucky fried chicken (KFC). Chase brought out his phone, turned on his WiFi, opened Google drive and typed in KFC. They steppe out from the house, and entered the car. Having searched out the route via google, it was easy for Chase to navigate his way to the eatery. While Chase drove, Brenda was seated in the passengers front seat, where she took a lot of selfie's. Being that she was looking hot, Chase could only but fight the urge to keep looking at her in the car so as to avoid accident. More so, he had to avoid especially the exposed luscious thick thighs and the sexy legs. He was already feeling sexy in the car and Brenda could notice it, as he kept his hand steady on the gear lever, most times touching her laps while talking. She knew they haven't had sex for sometime now, and the opportunity to have it had just presented itself, being that Alicia was out of the way. The thought of it would only make her horny, so she made up her mind to wait till they get back to the house. Chase finally got to the front of the KFC, he was able to spot out a space where he parked the car, they alighted, he locked the car and they walked into the eatery. There weren't much people in there that time of the day, so it was easy for them to get a seat which was at the window side, facing the main road. From there, they could see what was happening outside, they could also see people coming in and going out of the eatery. Brenda loved the position, she was full of smiles, and Chase loved her the more for that. The waitress approached their seat with the menu for them to make their order, Brenda ordered Chicken and chips with a bottle of coca-cola, it took Chase a little while before he could come to terms with what he would eat. Finally he went for Fried rice and chicken but in place of coca-cola, he ordered water. They had to wait for a few minutes for their order to be ready, at that moment, Chase remembered he hadn't heard from Olivia for long, so he took his phone out, searched for her number and dialled it. He was told to wait while his call was redirected to a diverted number. He waited patiently until they were done, then he began to hear a different ringing sound with that, he knew Olivia must be out of town. When her voice came through, and because it was am international call, she asked to know who she was to speak with. Chase mentioned is name, this made her shout with excitement. She apologized for not calling him and told him she do hear about him from her Dad. They discussed at length, including the alleged attack on their security facility, she finally told him she travelled to the US for a business trip, also mentioned was the accident. Chase was so happy she wasn't harmed. They appreciated each other and after that ended the call. By then, the waitress had brought their order and the aroma made Chase swallow a lot of saliva. They ate quietly, but not without the usual feeding in the mouth which was done by Brenda. She would at intervals pick some meat or chips and feed Chase. It was an enjoyable outing, the meal was delicious, Chase had his fill, same with Brenda. When they had rested a little, Chase paid the bill, and they left the eatery. Brenda had thought they were driving home, but Chase had other plans up his sleeves. He had turned on the Bluetooth devise on the car stereo, and connected it to his phone, where he began to play some sweet love songs that were downloaded in the phone. Brenda felt so relaxed and comfortable leaning back on the seat and enjoying the cool music and nodding her head.
