This little tale is a take on the "Charlie versus the Intersect" by Spiral Hearts. She had asked her readers to come up with a love interest for her female Charlie Bartowski. I had suggested Harry Tang but she choose otherwise. This is some madness that has come as a form of inspiration and I hope you enjoy.

"Oh shit" Charlie said. She had just seen Tang open his mouth to revel that he had a blue pill in his mouth. "Looks like Harry is popping Viagra."

She dreads the fact that Harry Tang walks across the showroom towards the Nerd Herd desk. She knows what he is going to want her to do.

Anna puts a comforting hand on her shoulder, and nods in sympathy.

"It's your turn, she said with a defeated attitude."

Harry arrived at the desk, made eye contact with Charlie and then ordered "Lunch room now!"

Morgan was in the kitchen appliances section; he could see Charlie and Tang walk across the floor and disappear out the back of the store. He thought that something was off about the situation so he wandered over the Nerd Herd round desk to speak to Anna.

"Where are Tang and Charlie going?"

'Don't worry; she'll be back in ten minutes."

"So where are Tang and Charlie going?"

"You don't want to know!"

Not going to get an answer Morgan walked away back into the white goods area; there he had an uninterrupted view of the back of store doors. He waited until Charlie walked back trough the doors and back to the Nerd Herd desk.

Ten minutes later she re-appeared from out the back store doors, she looked a little flustered, Morgan went to approach her but she saw him and waved him away.

She made her way but the Nerd Herd desk and she sat down in a spare chair next to Anna. Anna acknowledged her presence by a comforting hand on her shoulder.

A quarter of an hour later, Morgan thought it was safe to find out what's going on. He wanted to know what has been happening in his Buymore store. He approached the Nerd Herd desk and the two girls turned away from him.

"Charlie, what is going on?"

Charlie remained silent. She couldn't look at her friend

"Come on Charlie, I've known you forever and I know more about you that you do yourself. Please"

Morgan could tell that his line of questioning was upsetting her, she reached out and pulled a couple of tissues from the box they kept on a shelf under the desk. When Charlie got upset, Morgan got upset, that was the type of relationship they had. Morgan then looked at Anna, and she was almost as upset as Charlie. Morgan gave her a pleading look from his eyes.

It was the look that loosened Anna's tongue.

"We've both been having sex with Harry Tang."

The comment almost made Morgan faint with disbelief. He felt light headed all of a sudden, then later he felt the anger building inside him. Harry Tang was the last person he would believe capable of having a work based affair. If there was anyone who the two girls should have been having sex with it was him, Morgan, because he was always looking out for them, helped them when they needed help and he took the blame for them when they did something wrong.

He wanted answers and he wanted them now.

"How on earth did you start a relationship with Harry Tang?"

"It was my fault. I challenged him"

"Challenged him?"

"Yeah, I made the mistake in flirting with him in the Home theatre room. The first time I did it he got all flustered and practically ran from the room. Feeling emboldened I did it again a few days later but he just smiled at me, he had in his pocket a condom and called my bluff. I must admit that it was thrilling, sneaking off for a quickie, whilst the rest of you would moan about the lack of action. I was doing my bit for Sino-Korean relations. It wasn't long before Tang had spun a web that he had managed to ensnare Charlie. I began to feel jealous that Harry was getting more on the side so I confronted Charlie here and she told me how Harry was threatening to sack her and she couldn't afford to pay out her staff purchasing loan."

"So Harry relies on blackmail?"

"Yeah, blackmail via the Staff purchasing scheme."

The store had a scheme that the employees could purchase at very favourable prices various whitegoods and electronic appliances. The chain of stores had the ability to make cheaper wholesale purchasing through the size and volume of their business. The employee would be able to buy at wholesale plus $10. They could purchase as many items as they liked depending on years of service. Charlie had taken advantage of this scheme and she had purchased a refrigerator, large screen television, a microwave and a washing machine.

A drawback of the scheme was if the employee left or worst got fired. On cessation of employment the former employee had to pay the amount owing from their final settlement payment. If there wasn't enough money then they would have to return the goods and pay the smaller amount outstanding. What Tang had realised that if he put enough pressure on the female staff then he could manipulate them into doing things they rather not do. In Charlie and Anna case it was sexual favours.

All Tang had to do was wait until one of them would muck up something and he could threaten them with dismissal, having a potential large liability hanging over their heads made the girls desperate enough to do anything to keep their jobs.

"So Tang would demand sex from you two so you could keep your jobs?"

"No. Not anymore."

"What?"

"He used to demand sex but not anymore."

"Huh?"

"Tang is only interested in himself!"

"What does that mean?"

"He is only interested in his own pleasure"

"Huh?"

"He used to demand sexual intercourse but he realised that we were getting some pleasure out the experience so he stopped it and now only wants a blowjob instead because he knows it hard work for us."

"Son of a bitch" he said as he shook his head. "Does Big Mike know?"

"Know, he's complicit."

"What?"

"While Tang is having his rocks off with the staff, Big Mike is fooling around with Mrs Tang. Big Mike figures that if Harry's reservoir is empty then he doesn't have to worry about sharing Poon Tang's honey."

"That's disgusting."

"I know, and so wrong!"

"It would be wrong of me to turn a blind eye to this. Harry Tang needs to go down."

"No. Morgan, don't get involved." She pleaded.

"The man is a slimy pig; he needs to be exposed for what he is!"
