Percey shrugged at the first question.<br/><br/>"Quite frankly, the sight of you in a bathing suit was more than any red blooded man should endure," he said, looking over her hips, admiring where her torso met her leg.  Those sultry limbs entrapped him in the prison of his lust, his only escape sexual release.  But less on that now.  Biting his lower lip, he then perused the photographs.<br/><br/>"A pattern," Percey began,  "has been difficult to establish.  I am not current on the information MI6 has, but each individual is somehow connected to you indirectly.  Arnold Schwarts, the U.S. ambassador to Argentina, helped you during your mission against those separatists that wanted to reclaim the Maldives.  Schwarts dealt with Maze, your handler on that case.  It appears that whoever is doing this is trying to send you a message."  He didn't have to clarify that specific message.  Whoever was doing this knew that Agent Dahlia Morris was chasing after them.<br/><br/>At her query about shoes, the agent gave an expression that said, 'ah, thought you'd never ask,' and got up, walked to the closet, opened it up and, from within, produced a sparkling pair of jewel encrusted silver sandals with heels.  They were ornate, like a rapier's handle, and wrapped around the ankle.  They were rather esoteric, but matched (he thought) well with the dress.  These, he tossed unto the bed rather cavalierly as he then stopped in front of Dahlia.<br/><br/>"Another thing; Mr. Custon is throwing a lavish party tonight," Percey said, retrieving a large golden envelope and tossing it upon the bed as well.  Invitations were inside.  How he came about these is rather anecdotal, but a bit embarrassing.<br/><br/>"Perhaps you'd care to do some shopping for a dress after early dinner?"  he said, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.   "And, at the risk of sounding too forward, we could also have sex in one of the fitting rooms, Ms. Morris."<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Shoes:  http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3013403/0~2376778~2372808~2381853~2381959?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2381959&P=37 (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3013403/0~2376778~2372808~2381853~2381959?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2381959&P=37)
