MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Officer Parks looked at Crystal. There were tears in his eyes. "I am sorry," he said, "but I have to do my job. You understand, right?" 

"Please," Crystal begged. "This isn't right. I didn't do anything!"

"I'll make it quick," Parks promised as he stood up and walked around the table. He pulled her out of her up by her hair with his left hand. Then he punched her in the gut with his right hand, and when she grasped her stomach, he reached into her pocket and swiped her phone.

Chief Oskin chuckled and said, "Like taking candy from a baby." Then, he turned to Officer Parks.

"Get her out of my sight.. She makes me want to puke. Stubborn criminal like her has no space in this place,"

As Crystal was led out of the Interrogation Room, she crossed paths with the woman who'd supplied the eggs. The woman was laughing. Crystal turned and looked away, ashamed by her inability to successfully stand up for herself.

Crystal had thought that she was being released, but instead, she was taken to a dark cell. It was cramped, and there wasn't even a place for her to sit, let alone make a piss or shit if she needed to. Why is this happening? - she asked herself. But there was no answer forthcoming.

Joyce was relaxing in the Jacuzzi tub at Cecelia's villa when her Uncle walked through the door and sat down on the edge of the tub. "It's all taken care of," he said. "Just like promised."

"I knew you could do it," Joyce said. "Tell me all about it!"

Although there were many police stations in the city, there were only two major headquarters. Chief Oskin was the Chief of Police at one location, while Joyce's Uncle was the Chief of Police at the other, and occasionally the two did each other favors.

James opened his robe, and as he climbed into the tub behind his niece, he told her everything. Joyce took his hands, kissed them, and placed them on her breasts, "You make me so happy," she cooed. "Is she going to go to jail?"

"Don't worry about that! Relax, I will do the rest as I promised you," James chuckled as he began to play with his niece's breasts, and he said, "I've already worked everything out with the judge. She's going to jail, and for a long time."

Joyce could feel his erection on her back, and the pressure made her smile. Her mother had been right when she'd said, The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but the way to his autonomy is through his prick.

Joyce put a hand over his and said, "I knew I could count on you, Uncle James. I never doubted you once!"

"What are you going to do for me when I've done everything else you've asked?" James asked.

Joyce laughed and said, "You are so bad, Uncle James. When you're done, you can do whatever you want to me, and I will do whatever you ask."

James: "That's my girl."

"So, what happens to Crystal now?" Joyce wondered. "Will she be released until the trial, on bail or something?"

"That is something that still needs to be worked out between myself and Chief Oskin," James replied. "She is still in custody. She has been given the impression that she is being released. Her phone has been confiscated, though. Once it is processed, we can figure out where to go from there. When I'm done here with you, I have to go to the station and discuss it with Oskin."

Joyce: "I understand. You never know when your phone might be tapped. You'll keep me in the loop, though, right?"

James nodded, and as he slipped his hand down her abdomen, he said, "Your wish is my command."

James was sitting behind Chief Oskin's desk, going over some paperwork, when Oskin walked in.

Oskin: "You asked for me?"

James looked up and said, "Is everything settled? Is Crystal going to the Remand Centre?" 

"It's all taken care of," Oskin replied. He had a grin on his face, but when Officer Parks rushed into the room, his smile turned to a frown. Parks looked like he'd seen a ghost.

James: "What's going on?"

Officer Parks took a deep breath, and then he said, "Something has gone wrong. There is a company of military troops at our door. There are at least one hundred soldiers - maybe two hundred. They have surrounded the police station, and their weapons are drawn."

The two chiefs rushed out of the office and were confronted by a Waiting Room filled with military personnel. James spotted a Major General and thought - What the fuck is going on here?!?!?! As he looked around, he noticed that many high-ranking officers and a handful of journalists were milling about and asking questions.

Among the reporters, Officer Parks recognized Amy. She had been at the hospital, and she had been among those detained, so he wasn't surprised to see her there. This is the real scoop, he realized, and the hospital was nothing but an appetizer...

James decided he needed to look outside so that he could adequately size up the situation before responding. He walked through the office without any trouble, but he had to maneuver around the officers when he got to the waiting room. They looked at him, acknowledged him, but nobody seemed even to consider stepping out of his way.

When James stepped outside, he was shocked. Parks had told him what to expect, but the sight of over one hundred military men with guns drawn was enough to take anyone's breath away. Chief Oskin stood beside him, and neither man said a word.

Suddenly, the sea of men began to part, and a black sports car came through. Its horn honked three times - Toot! Toot! Toot!

"Who the hell is that?" James muttered.

"I have no fucking clue…." Oskin replied.
