The Job Offer Ch. 08

Sasha turns to her Master, and says, "You do it in spades, Master. You show us your love every moment throughout the day. We see it through your actions. You're turning into a man that we both want and love. Don't doubt yourself, Master. When in doubt, take a moment and listen to this: (Pressing her hand against his chest and then looks up into his eyes). This is your moral compass. Heather's right. Each job you do will teach you in ways we can't fathom. Life isn't always black and white. Find your path and walk it. We are with you to the end."

Sam's shaking his head and then, in a soft voice, says, "I think I am rubbing on you too much, Sasha-baby. You're sounding a lot like me and your sister. Profound words, my love." He leans down and kisses Sasha's lips; pulling back, he does the same to Heather. Seeing their awe and love for him, he smiles. Looking at the both of them, he says, "Let's kick some ghoul's ass! Shall we?"

Both girls shout out their glee and jump for his enthusiasm. He turns around and strides to the garage door, but before he opens it; he waits to see if Sasha is fully ready to venture out. Seeing that she has her trench coat buckled, helmet on and hands in her pockets, he then opens the door. Walking around the car, he ventures into the van's back doors and opens it up for his slut to enter. Once she's in, he closes the door behind her and then walks to the front of the cab. He sees his other mate open her door and they stare at each other, smiles. They sent a secret message between the both of them, 'Let's do this!'. They both slide into their bucket seats and put on their seat belts. He turns on the engine, pops up the emergency brake and then says, "Are we ready to head out?"

Sasha smiles in the darkness and says, "I am ready and buckled. Let's do this."

Smiling, Sam puts the van in drive and heads out of the driveway. Reaching over, he places his hand on Heather's thigh to feel close to her. Seeing her hand slide up and place it over top of his means the world.

Heather feels his hand on her thigh and it warms her. She reaches out to return her love for him by placing her hand on top of his. Giving his hand a slight squeeze, she says, "You got this, daddy."

Biting his lip and looking at her smile, he knows what she means. But her meaning has two sides to it, one, I have her, and second, I can do this. Shaking his head, he wonders if she knows what she just said or the meaning behind it. All he can do at the moment is squeeze her thigh to reassure her he indeed has both.

The drive to the cemetery didn't take long; however, there were a lot of lights on Altadena Drive West. Once we turned left onto Fair Oaks Ave, it was a hop, skip, and a jump to the gate. Pulling up to the gate house, the attendant opens up his window and asked us what's our business was and if we knew the cemetery was closed for the day. Smiling at the gentleman, Sam says, "Cockroach." And waits to see what will the gate keeper do. He watches him re-enter the gatehouse and looks at a data sheet and nods his head. The gate keeper grabs a piece of paper and returns to speak with Sam. Smiling, he says, "We're expecting you. Do you have a map of the Cemetery?" As I shake my head, 'No', he hands me printed map. He then tells me to stay on the left and ride it to the end, but don't turn. The area where the cockroaches are in the North Eastern part of the cemetery in Mountain Meadows & Vineyard. After the briefing, he says, "Good luck!" And opens the gate for us.

Following his directions, Sam pulls to the south side and parks the van at Founders Lawn; between both Meadows and Vineyard. Turning the ignition off, he turns to Heather and says, "Ready?"

Turning towards him, she rolls her shoulders. And then she says, "Wish I was doing a lot more than sitting in the van, but let's get this done so we can salvage some of tonight's sexual exploits."

Sam shakes his head and says, "I like the way you think. Come, let's head back and get Sasha ready. Then get this party started."

Heather turns to him and says, "Sounds like a plan," Giving a smile as she closes the passenger door.

Sam grabs his sword from behind the seat, then grabs his bag of goodies and leaves the cab of the van. Heading to the back of the van, he opens up the back, helps Heather into the back, and then follows her. As they walk past the UV skirting, they see Sasha has already left her seat and is sitting at the desk, typing away on the laptop. Looking at her, he says, "What're you doing, slut?"

Hearing her call sign, she feels warm all over but turns to her Master and says, "Getting everything ready for our baby. I know sitting in the van is a drag, but I wanted her to feel like she was part of the group. So I booted up the laptop, pulled up the map of the cemetery of where we'll be searching for these ghouls." Reaching for the case next to the computer, she opens it up and pulls out 3 COMMS, handing one to both of her lovers and then to herself. Sticking it into her ear, she then says, "Now we're linked." Looking at Heather, she then says, "Now you will do my job; you will be our eyes and ears, so to speak. Basically, you will keep us entertained and give us your expertise in handling things out here. Remember, you're our Giles and we're a team."

Sam looks at his baby-girl, and says, "I think what your sister is trying to say is that you're part of the team. You're not out there physically, but you're out there through COMMS. It's a tough job sitting in the van, but we think you can handle it. Remember, this is our first go around. Things will probably change as we do more jobs. Ready?"

Heather just smiles and wishes that she could go out with both of them, but again, she is only a 'Norm' after all. Nodding her head, she thinks to herself, 'One day, I will be with them. I just know it.' Turning to the both of them, she leans forward and kisses both of them then says, "Be careful out there; I will do my part. Love you."

Both Sam and Sasha look at each other before looking at Heather and smiling back. In unison, they both say, "We love you too, baby." They pull her into a hug and then make their way out of the van. Before closing the door, Sam grabs his sword and mounts in on his back. He then grabs one of the battle axes and the morning-star. He then says, "Baby, I left one battle axe behind, hoping you never have to use it. When I close the door, please lock it; only open it if we tap the door three times and then ask us a question. Got it?" Seeing her nod, he then says, "Love you, baby." Then he closes the door and waits. Hearing the click, brings a smile to his face that she followed his instructions on locking the door. Looking about, the sun has finally set and no rays are shining. He looks at his partner-slut and says, "Ready, partner?"

Sasha is all smiles and says, "Ready, Master. It feels different being on the opposite side of the door this time. I am excited to be working alongside with you. Almost like patrolling, but with weapons."

Pulling her close to him, Sam then says, "Partner, you were always with me when we did bounties. (He then points to his ear and then to his heart). Yes, it will be like patrolling, but way dangerous. Keep your wits and be on your toes. Just stay safe, baby."

Staring wide-eye, she leans forward and kisses his lips. Then mouths, 'I love you'. Reaching around, he grabs her ass and says, "I know." Sasha's shocked that he used a Star Wars reference. They were both astonished when they heard baby-girl on the COMMS, saying, "How sweet both of you are. I felt that reference to both of you. Stop dilly dallying, we have a job to do. Once we get this done, we get paid and then spoil each other sexually. Get to it!"

Shaking his head, Sam then says, "Our Giles is right. Time to get cracking. Here, take the battle axe; since I have my sword. I will take the morning-star." Bending over, he reaches into his bag and pulls out his utility belt that contains his titanium wire and one of his knives. He then reaches around and straps it to her hips and secures it. Looking at her, he says, "I might go overboard, but I want you to be safe. Remember, they made both tools from titanium. You should have the immunity to use it. Do you need a top over before we begin?" Pointing at his neck.

Smiling at him, she feels his love and that he cares deeply for her by providing additional weapons at her disposal. Shaking her head, she says, "I am well, for now, but might take some later, depending on how the job goes. I appreciate the sentiment with the additional gear, Master. It's been a long time coming, partner." As they walk to the Mountain Meadows section first.

Sam looks down at his partner and says, "Will you stop gushing already? Just looking at you has got me wanting to bend you over a tombstone and have my way with you."

Sasha just smiles and says, "I wouldn't mind that at all."

Both of them look at each other with naughty thoughts, but then hear Heather on the COMMS. "And after you fuck her silly, then I am next. C'mon, stay focus. Sooner we get this job done, the sooner we get his cock every which way to Sunday. If you don't move your asses, I will exit this van," Heather says.

Both of them are smiling and it's Sasha that speaks up first to say, "We're moving; keep your panties on. We won't do anything without you present. Promise." Hearing Heather say it back, both girls wait on Sam to say it back. Rolling his eyes, he then says, "Promise." But then pulls Sasha close to him and says, "Go slow and be methodical. You go West and I will take the East of Meadows. We will comb and check each plot for any activity. If you see anything, radio it in to the boss. Got it." Seeing her nod her head, she walks away, but he slaps her ass for encouragement. Seeing her turn her head and giving him a huge smile warms him to venture East bound.

They walk quickly and quietly, looking at each plot for any signs of ghoul activity. In Sasha section there aren't many plots and make quick work. She's already on 6th row, while Sam is working on his 3rd. Periodically they can see each other from afar but keep focus on the job at hand. They check in with the boss (Heather) from time to time when they finished a row; so she can mark off our progress.

Sasha's walking down aisle 12. She sees her first hole at plot 3810; she informs the team. Sam immediately radios in to his partner to see if she needs any help. To which she replies, "Master, it doesn't look like any activity but definitely a significant hole. I will keep you informed of my progress."

Sam's heart is ready to burst out of his chest. The unknown has him in an uproar; he has to remind himself that his partner-slut is capable and not a 'Norm'. Taking a deep breath, he continues his search. He starts row 9 and still has no sign of activity or holes. Working his way, he makes it to row 12 and sees his first hole at plot 3257; he then radios it in. Kicking some dirt down the hole, he waits to hear anything, but nothing stirs. He finishes aisle 12 and is heading for 13; but something is nagging at him. He then radios in and asks, "Sasha, was there more dirt on the outside of the hole or not?"

Sasha then replies, "There was hardly any dirt on the outside. Why do you ask, Master?" Being curious.

Sam thinks for a moment and says, "Well, my hole had less dirt on the outside as well. I think these two holes are where the ghouls came out of; do you remember the name of your grave?"

"Actually I do, Master. The name read on the plot was Bill Preston. How about yours, Master?" She says.

Sam nods his head and then says, "The tombstone read on mine was Theodore Logan. So we're looking for 2 males but they're maybe more. Keep your eyes peeled." His COMMS suddenly goes off, and he hears, 'Will do, Master.' Nodding his head, he twirls the morning-star in his hand and then brings it back to sit on his right shoulder before continuing onwards.

Both continue their search until COMMS comes alive with Sasha saying, "I see movement up ahead. Could be something." Sam radios in by asking if she needs help and to her reply, "Negative. I got this, Master. Give me a chance. If things are going south, I will either run away or call for aid." She waits patiently for a response and all she gets is an 'Ok' from him. Smiling, she then says, "Thanks, partner." She makes her way to where she saw movement and heads that way. Watching the individual search every grave methodically has her asking questions. Why would a ghoul look at particular graves for food? Just pick one and go for it; unless he's looking for a particular grave. Radio in, she then says, "This might be nothing, but this individual is looking for a particular grave. Now my understanding is that hunger rules ghouls. So why is this ghoul looking at each grave with a purpose?"

Heather chimes in and says, "That's really interesting indeed. Your right sister, ghouls are not interested in looking at each grave. Hmm, I wonder if something or someone is commanding them to search for a particular grave. Just a theory; keep following him and see what you turn up. How are things on your end, Alpha?"

Tapping his COMM on his ear, Sam says, "Nothing on my end. Still searching; no holes or activity on this end of the Meadows. Hold on, saw movement next to a mausoleum, a woman with bright red hair. Heading there to check it out." He's about to jog over there till his COMM clicks with a 'Copy' & 'Be careful' from Heather. Smiling, he races over to find nothing. Looking left and right, he sees nothing extraordinary or the red hair. Questioning himself, did I see it correctly or were my eyes are playing tricks on him? Taking a moment, he stops and closes his eyes to search his memory. Taking a deep breath in through his nostrils, he smells a hint of citrus. Smiling, knowing he didn't make it up, he forgoes the search of the red head and continues his search for ghouls.

Sasha continues to follow the individual until it stops in front of a grave. She watches him place a hand on the ground to feel its presence or power. Watching him dig down is interesting and traumatic to watch. She the radios in, saying, "Ghoul has found a grave and is digging as we speak. Will approached cautiously; will appease if I need backup." Waiting patiently, she hears, 'Copy' from both of them, but she hears her Master say, 'Be careful, partner-slut'. Hearing his voice warms her to no end, but it also excites a part of her body. She is at the grave in seconds and taps on the plot with the butt of her axe. Hearing no reply, she then says, "Bill, is that you down there?"

Hearing someone outside his hole has made the ghoul curious and has him backtrack back out. Pulling himself out of the hole, he looks at the lady before him and all he says, "Grrrh".

Looking at the ghoul in front of her, she takes him all in: he's decked out in a torn up grey suit with a blue tie. Pants are shredded and shoes are non-existent. Dried blood around his mouth and on his fingers. Shaking her head, she says, "You look terrible, Bill. You need a makeover for your next funeral. Here, let me help you." She brings the butt of her axe up and shoves it forward into the ghoul's midsection, bending him forward. Turning around at vampiric speed, she hooks its leg with the battle axe. Pulling him off his feet, he falls back onto his back. In a swift movement, she swings the axe back and then brings it down to chop off its head.

But before it loses its head, the ghoul shrieks loudly as to alert his fellow ghouls of that danger is at foot. Suddenly, ghouls all around shriek in response and start back tracking out of their burrows, looking for their comrade-in-arms.

Sasha kicks the head of the ghoul away and then radios on her progress. She reports she killed a ghoul and also the plot number. Looking at the tombstone, she then says, "He was digging at a grave belonging to Anita Brown." She is about to ask for a search but is cut off when she hears Heather on COMMS. 'On it, okay? Did a search and there are two Anita Brown's at Mountain View? The next one is on plot 3362. Alpha, that is slightly Northeast of your last report in.' Before Sam replies, Sasha then asks, "Can you search all the Browns, and tell me how many Ann variations are there?" She then hears, 'Got it, hmm, there are five. 2 Anita's and 1 Anna in Meadows section, and a 2 in Vineyard section. I will list the plot numbers when you head there.' Heather replies.

Sam then radios to his partner and says, "Bag the head; don't want some ghoul putting it back to his body to regenerate. Heading to plot 3412 now. Continue to sweep your area, partner. Make sure it's clear of ghouls before heading to me. When you finish, start from the top and work downward to meet me. Copy?" He waits patiently and then hears, 'Copy. Be careful, Master.'

Heading to plot 3362 on the double, he sees that there is definitely a hole already dug up. Kneeling down, he smells the hole and smells rot and decay. Taking his morning-star, he hammers the ground to send vibrations deep into the soil. Hearing some stirrings down below, he then says, "Theodore, are you down there?" Sure enough, he hears the ghoul retreating out of the hole. Taking a step back, he watches the ghoul pull himself out with ease. Looking at his ghoul, he's dressed in a navy suit that has been tattered and wet with God knows what. He must've lost his jacket somewhere, however, the smell coming off of him is horrendous. Covering his nose, he sees that ghoul's mouth covered with fresh blood and signs of grey matter dripping out of his maw. Thinking to himself, he thought rogue vampires were bad but ghouls take the cake.

Taking a step back from the odor, sets Sam's ghoul charging at him. Reacting fast, he takes a step to the side and swings his morning-star at the ghouls mid section. The ghoul immediately grunts and bends over. Sam then pulls the morning-star upwards, hitting the chin and knocking the ghoul onto his back. Acting fast, he brings down his weapon to smash the ghoul's face in, but at the last second; he rolls away. Sam grunts his frustration and then brings his weapon back to neutral position and is looking frantically for it. Feeling its presence behind him, Sam turns and brings his weapon around to hit the ghoul on the side. But to his astonishment, the ghoul was ready and grabs hold of the weapon and pulls it out of Sam's grip to fling the weapon behind him.

Sam looking at the ghoul and shakes his head then says, "So that's how you want to play this; alright, we'll try something new." He reaches back and pulls out his titanium sword out of its scabbard on his back. Swinging it around with a flick of his wrist, he waits for the ghoul to attack. Luckily for him, he doesn't have to wait that long. The ghoul lurches forward but Sam's ready for him. Tilting the blade horizontally, he swipes his sword through the ghoul and cuts him thoroughly in half. The ghoul tries to run away using its hands, but Sam's on him and drives the point of his sword directly at the base of the head, slowing the ghoul in its tracks. With a swift downward strike, Sam beheads the ghoul and kicks the head away from its body. He then cleans the body using the back of ghoul's shirt; there he notices the burning tissues of where his sword cut the ghoul in half. Thinking to himself, that's remarkable; ghouls are allergic to titanium. Interesting. Putting his sword back into its scabbard, he reaches into his back pocket. He pulls out a medium size Glad garbage bag to bag the head. Suddenly his COMMS is blaring, and he hears Sasha reporting for backup.

Sam then asks, "How many?" Waiting patiently for reply.

It takes a few moments for Sasha to reply but says, "I am currently fighting one and have two bearing down on me in seconds. Could really use your help, Master. These ghouls adapt quickly if you're not too careful."
