CHAPTER X
Bobby Sanderson was feeling a little more settled after his flight and now the limo was pulling up outside the LA facility which housed his pet material R&D laboratories.
The head of the facility was there to receive him first, as always, and the pair made their way to a meeting room to discuss things before doing a proper tour the next day.
"John, good evening it's good to see you...." Bobby started enthusiastically.
"Likewise , we have things to show you!" John replied grinning. "Oh and congratulations, I see your oil venture has paid off!"
Bobby smiled, that was at least one good thing that had happened and another success for his R&D people to point at. It was their technology which had make the field so viable, the mention of it was no doubt due to the knowledge that research work normally appeared as a negative on the balance sheet.
"Sure, that sucker flew off today, up 30 percent in a day.....we are going to sell a lot of that stuff, PETROFORCE ...you watch. It's a double win." Bobby beamed.
The pair took seats at a conference table and began their frank talk.
"So where are we at...you've got MetaCoat and the ClearOrbit work to show me tomorrow right?" Bobby asked.
John nodded "That's right, the Air Force were here and they were delighted to see their bird intact and left us with the recycling to do, the guy from the oversight committee was happy as well, you'll see the 'bounty' money coming in soon enough....oh and we have another oddity from that to talk to you about."
"Oh? Sounds interesting...." Bobby said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'll let Dr Matthews....you remember her......I'll let her tell you about it" John continued.
"Well...perhaps I should do that now, I may be pressed for time tomorrow" Bobby said thoughtfully.
"I'll check ...." John replied knowing full well the gushingly enthusiastic young scientist wanted to have the ear of her paymaster.
=====
Lucy found herself in Lisa's living room, retro film posters adorned the walls in frames, a big sofa in front of a coffee table and the large TV. On the wall a CD player was mounted with low profile speakers either side of it. Lisa liked the modern mixed with minimalism, style with function. Lucy turned her attention to the DVD collection....
"Got, got, seen, want to see, got, got, oooh want to see, got, got." Ran through Lucy's mind.
Lisa's apartment appeared to be In a reasonable neighbourhood, the building looked well loved and well appointed, the light fittings were Art Deco and the ceilings had nice moulded designs set into them. The elevator, usually a good indicator of the health of a building was clean, modern and devoid of graffiti, Lisa lived somewhere 'nice' which Lucy was glad of. To have been given the role of high society party girl and 'oh you have to drive a Porsche and live in this luxury party pad', seemed unfair while Lisa resumed her work as a cop.
Lucy could hear bath water sloshing, bath time over perhaps, Lisa had got in there just after Lucy arrived and in the meantime Lucy had explored the apartment a little and got plates, glasses for her gift bottle of wine and a corkscrew. Not long now and pizza guy would deliver the double pepperoni and cheese.....
Lisa stepped from the bath and wrapped herself in a fluffy robe and as she began to towel dry her hair the door bell rang. The pizza guy was here and she heard Lucy scamper off and answer the door, the money waiting on a table in the hall.
Minutes later and Lucy and Lisa were sharing their pizza and wine feast as they laughed and talked over the top of some cop show, the pair feeling their eyelids getting heavier as time went on.
Lisa eventually broached the subject,
"Do you want to crash here...I....." Lisa began. She didn't know what it was she inviting Lucy to do..... sleep on the couch....join me in my bed.....
"Oh...um....sure , I guess, I didn't really bring anything though I...." Lucy stumbled.
"I'm sure I'll have something " Lisa said thoughtfully as she rose from the sofa.
Lucy, in a moment of opportunism piped up... "Do you have anything metal in my size?"
Lisa was exhausted and cast a frown.
"No seriously...I ....don't want to do anything, just....." Lucy said , puppy dog eyed.
"Come on..." groaned Lisa as she offered out a hand, hauling Lucy to her feet.
Soon the pair were together in Lisa's bed, Lucy naked save for Lisa's service handcuffs on her wrists in front of her, double locked to prevent over tightening.
"What is it with you and cuffs...?" Lisa asked with a yawn.
"I guess I feel safe....wanted.....as a child I dreamed of the day a friendly police officer would catch me and take me away from my crime lord foster parents...." Lucy explained, a twinkle in her eye as she remembered her former past.
Lisa was surprised by the answer, she thought there was something kinkier at play, their first encounter apparently had been a sexy rescue, not sexy cops n robbers after all.
Lisa pecked a kiss on the back of Lucy's shoulder, reached over to the light switch and threw the room into darkness.
"Lisa...?" Lucy asked into the darkness.
"What....?" Lisa replied, her eyes closed longing for sleep.
"About the other night....." Lucy began
"Forget it.....I know you're not easy...I just enjoyed the idea ...." Lisa said sleepily.
"Well, it wasn't like I didn't do all of what you asked...." Lucy teased.
"Oh?" Lisa frowned.
"Well I didn't strip or write what you wanted but I still pee'd on command...how many other princesses do that for you...." Lucy confessed.
Lisa went wide eyed....wow!
