Jacob could feel his temper start to flare when he heard Simon toss the bit of blackmail out there. He wanted to stride over and punch the douchebag right in his face, but suddenly Tori pulled out her phone and speed dialed, apparently Mrs. Whitmore.<br/><br/>"Hello, Mrs. Whitmore. Tori Morissette with PSI. We have a young man here, a Simon James, and he wants to work with us on this investigation. I know you have strict regulations on who we can and cannot bring in. I just wondered if he is on your list?" Tori said, staring at the guy.<br/><br/>Jacob wondered how she had gotten through, surely at this little time  before the opening ceremonies of the competition, Mrs. Whitmore should've been incredibly busy, but here was Tori, talking to the woman right now. The thought crossed Jacobs mind that Tori might be actually faking the call to intimidate Simon, and he wondered if she was crafty enough to do it. It was a dangerous game, if Simon called her bluff, they'd have serious trouble trying to explain his accusations, especially with their already tarnished reputation. Jacob began to worry as he listened in on, and Tori, obviously nervous flubbed a few of the details.<br/><br/><br/>"Yes, ma'am. Yes, okay, thank you, One more quick question. He claims to have worked with the carpenters on the psuedo paranormal and I didn't want his prior knowledge to jeopardize our credibility." Tori continued. She nodded.<br/><br/>'That wasn't true' Jacob thought to himself, 'He'd said he was<span style="font-weight: bold">friends</span>with one of the carpenters, not that he'd worked on them...' He kept his mouth shut though, and kept his eyes pegged on Simons, watching for a reaction.<br/><br/>"Yes, ma'am. Yes, I see. In the event that we did hire him, would that in anyway compromise our evidence? Thank you, I appreciate it." Tori punched the phone again.<br/><br/>"Okay, here is the scoop. He is on the approved list. He did work with the carpenters, however, he was only the 'dogsbody'." Tori said and then snickered. "A dogsbody? anyway, I gather, just a guy that runs errands.The carpenters had to sign a secrecy clause and none of them would have told anything. She said that hiring him would not put us at risk and that any knowledge he might have 'ferreted,' out would be minimal". She said, that she would note on our application that we have reported this incident and are acting in good faith." Tori sat down at the table and looked at the rather smug but shocked expression on Simon's face.<br/><br/>Jacob wondered if Simon was more shocked about Tori's obvious farce or that she had the balls to carry on with it after the jig was up. But in the end, Tori ended up offering him a job anyway, so it didn't matter. Rage boiled inside Jacob when he heard Tori offer the guy a job after he'd just threatened to blackmail them, but that was the 'breaks', he'd given Tori commanding rights on this mission, and he certainly couldn't reverse his stance now. He stood with his arms crossed and continued the stink-eye in Simon's direction.<br/><br/>"Let's have that walk" Tori said when she was finished and they left the bar and started to walk on down the street. Jacob could see that Tori was picking up on his irritation and she wrapped her arm around his side and squeezed them together.<br/><br/>"Did you want me to just tell him to fuck off?" she asked, referring to Simon. "Truth be told, I was a little afraid to after the insinuated threat he made. A guy like that could do a lot of damage if he isn't where we can keep an eye on him." Jacob listened and smiled, he knew she'd done the best she could, and truth be told, she wasn't wrong, keeping an eye on the weaselly Mr. James.<br/><br/><br/>Jacob, in answer to Tori's question finally said," Tori, I had hoped you realized that you just can't be as trusting as you are.<span style="font-weight: bold">You can't just wave your hand and have problems go away</span>. Life is not like that and I know you know it." He took her hand.<br/><br/>Tori nodded her head. "Maybe you need to be the lead on this case." she answered, not at all upset. "There is too much hanging on our success."<br/><br/>Jacob laughed, "Oh, no you don't. Let's go in here."<br/><br/>Tori looked up just in time to see a sign that said, Men and Women performing love acts. The hand made sign looked less than professional. The lobby was dingy and dark. An indifferent bar hosts checked IDs and pointed to the five dollar and a drink, cover charge sign.<br/><br/><br/>Jacob threw a ten on the bar and He and Tori got a couple of drinks, They weren't drinking hard, just relaxing, knowing full well that the meeting for the contest was tonight, and they would have to be on top of their game. He hoped that Fish and Tina, where ever they were, were behaving themselves as well. He reached over and planted a big kiss on Tori's lips, surprising her. "Hey, if you think our last mission was bad, you should have seen my first few....I was a trainwreck, but we soldiered through and that's just what you did back there....I am proud of you, and I think your doing a great job, all things considered....Captian!" He said and gave her another kiss.<br/><br/>Tori got a big embarrassed smile on her face, and kissed Jacob back, they sipped their drinks and watched as semi-attractive people had sex. It honestly wasn't all that surprising after the shenanigans Greg and Shanna used to get up to, but it was still erotic and  exciting and Jacob was happy he was with Tori to enjoy the experience.<br/><br/>after fifteen minutes or so, Jacobs head started to feel slightly dizzy, and he peered down at his drink, wondering if he'd accidentally had one too many. Then the fear of being 'ruffied' crossed his mind, after all they were in a shady dive bar. He looked up to see if Tori was ok, but found her face happy and smiling at him. "Tori....I don't feel well..." Jacob tried to say, but his words came out warbled and slurred.<br/><br/>"Hey...its ok....its ok...you'll get used to it....." Tori said and then got up out of her chair, she walked over to his wobbling form and climbed on his lap.<br/><br/>"Wha...what did you say?" He said in a confused tone, he couldn't believe Tori was giving him a lap dance in a club full of other people, during a live sex show, but he didn't try stopping either. Tori was writhing on his groin and he could feel his pants getting tighter by the second. Tori's shirt came off and she started pinching her nipples and licking her lips, while making eye contact with the preforms on a stage.<br/><br/>"Ssstop....Toooorriii, weeee cannn't dooo thiisss herrree" Jacob slurred, not understanding what was going on. Tori got up and strutted on to the stage as the audience started to cheer her on. Jacob tried to get out of his chair but his body's muscles would heed his call into action.<br/><br/>Tori stripped off her tight jeans and started to dance around the couple that made love for a living up on the stage. She looked different but, the same, it was her hair, no longer red and short, now she wore the Bettie Page style dark hair, she'd had when they first met. Tori bent down and started sucking the male performer's dick, deep throating his ample penis like an old pro. The woman, whom was slightly heavier set, with a giant set up tits, climbed underneath Tori and started gobbling her snatch, still full of Jacob's cum from the last time they'd had sex.<br/><br/>Jacob slouched in his chair and his head started to roll, The man with his dick down Tori's throat, gagging her like a ragdoll, was first a stranger, then he looked more like Greg, but Greg was dead and Jacob knew that, but he could swear the man looked exactly like him. In fact, was the heavy girl wearing the same tattoo as Shanna had had? He couldn't see her face to confirm, but he was sure those boobs looked familiar.<br/><br/>'What the fuck is going on?' Jacob's mind swirled, Now it wasn't even Greg, it was Simon James up on the stage, he'd turned Tori around and started pounding her pussy with his....no it wasn't a dick...it was the large stone arm from the Vazhoul statue, from Crenshaw Manor. The other woman wasn't Shanna, as Jacob could now see her face as the threesome readjusted to a new position.....It was Tina!<br/><br/>Jacob's mouth was hanging open as he could bring his eyelids to close and hide his mind from the horror. Tina finished eating Simon's ass and turned to look out over the crowd, who were now a writhing mass of naked flesh turned orgy. Her mouth smeared with Simon's shit, Tina pointed out at Jacob and began to chant, her eyes the color of coal.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">""Megot Vazhoul Abbot Hat-Elmaki.....Megot Vazhoul!" </span><br/><br/>Jacob screamed all the air out of his lungs in a tortured heave.<br/><br/>"Hey....Jacob....Hey pervert...Stopping gawking, we've got to get back to the hotel room and meet up with Fish and Tina so we can introduce them to 'Simple Simon'....heeheh....That was really funny when you called him that btw....Hey...are you listening to me?" Tori asked, as she sat in her seat, her hair was red and spikey. Jacob looked around the room and saw the normal tourist audience that had been in here when they walked in. The performers were strangers, and he looked dumb founded for a second.<br/><br/>"Hey, come on silly...You ok?" Tori asked again, this time she honestly looked concerned.<br/><br/>"Aaah yeah...I guess it's just jet lag.....I must of dosed off....huh" Jacob said, he suspiciously picked up his glass and sniffed it. It was of course  completely  normal smelling. "Yeah...come on...let's go."
