Chapter 10: Spying and Sex

During the next few days, Jim had his spies out on the street, combing every alleyway, checking with the pub owners, etc. He'd even sent Ruby out on a mission, dressed as Desiree the slutty secretary to seduce a crooked cop he had in his employ.

Ruby put on Desiree's red lipstick and long blonde wig. She put the hair up in a ponytail, donned the thigh length gray skirt, black heels, ruffled pink blouse, and a little black clutch purse with the fake phone in it.

She turned to Jim, sliding on a pair of sunglasses, striking a pose. He eyed her with lust very clear in his face as she started chewing bubble gum. Despite Jim's polished look with his dark brown Westwood suit, he could feel an obvious reflex starting to push up his pants.

"Do me a favor," he began as they walked downstairs. "when you come home, don't take off the getup."

"You like it, eh? How many guys do I have to shake down for info today?"

"Just three," Jim handed her a slip of paper with names and locations, coloring slightly as Ruby slid the paper into her bra with a teasing grin. He eyed her up and down, letting out a low whistle. "No matter what you wear you will always be sexy to me."

"Back at ya, hunky husband of mine. Suppose we do a little role playing tonight?"

"I think it's very probable. Text me anything you might find out." Ruby pulled out her little 9 mm Beretta from the gun safe, then slid it into the cleverly disguised hip holster. Jim saw a thong in bright red she was wearing and instantly felt his erection restarting.

"Hard to believe our son or daughter is going to plop out of that in nine months' time," Jim got his wife in a front to back hug as she straightened up.

"Plop I wish!" she laughed. "If it was that easy I'm all over it! Now come on, I can't leave here all wet!"

"I can't leave here with a boner!" Jim mocked her back as they strode towards the door. It was early June now and the morning sunshine kissed them in the face as Ruby locked the door behind them.

Ruby dropped Jim off at the office then consulted her list of informants to "play with" as she so aptly called it. First one was at Scotland Yard police department.

"Oh, Daniel Tangway," she muttered, circling his name. "that yutz is almost too easy!"

Daniel Tangway was a crooked cop that Jim had in his pocket. Apparently once Daniel had nearly been busted on a drug run right next door to where Jim was dining that night. He had turned up next to Daniel just before the police could show up, told him what to say, and the cops left him alone. There were no charges, nothing.

As Ruby knew, she barely had to seduce Tangway into telling anything. A few strategically placed hand gestures like pretending to scratch an itch on her left breast and rubbing her hand on her outer thigh gave him all he needed.

He was too easy a target really. Once he saw her, Tangway told her about a few new guys with "funky accents" causing the police department several headaches. There had been a robbery at an electronics store the previous night resulting in thousands of pounds' worth of inventory missing, etc. Ruby didn't think that it was of any consequence but she would report it to Jim anyway.

The next two informants, a drug runner only known as "Lush" told Ruby that two Italians had come into England within the last week which was when Jim and Ruby had returned. One of the guys had bought some crack cocaine from Lush and made a mention of going to tour Buckingham palace.

Again, Ruby didn't think that was significant but would mention it. Her third target, a pub owner deep in London named Sam, gave her the information she had been seeking.

"So I had these two guys, Italian dudes by the accent, order some wine and were gossiping here at the bar about the incident at Hyde Park," Sam wiped the bar down as he openly ogled Ruby's chest. "they mentioned what a coincidence was when the Hyde Park incident happened a day or two after they got into London. To anyone that would be innocent, but I got suspicious. I sneaked a glance at a cell phone while they were ordering their second shots of Jack Daniel's." he slid a piece of paper across the bar to her.

Ruby unfolded it, revealing a phone number and a name, Mama.

"Apparently Mama is code name for someone who designs and builds their weapons," Sam leaned over to get a better view of Ruby's chest. "so what will that get me?"

"Well," Ruby stood up. "I figure about two grand and a little fondle will do just nicely for you." Sam didn't argue as he knew she was a tough negotiator. He enjoyed his erection inducing fondle very much, pocketing the two thousand dollars on Ruby's way out.

In the Accord, Ruby smiled, putting on the sunglasses again. She texted the number to Jim along with the information she'd received. Tangway and Lush didn't try very hard to get particulars but Sam did. Ruby liked him more than the other two she had to shake down every so often as he really worked for the money and hadn't let them down yet.

That night, Ruby and Jim had supper, then sat on the couch to watch a little TV. Jim curled up with Ruby, his hands stroking her arms as she chose an episode of the X-Files.

For the next hour Ruby was riveted and Jim found the episode interesting as well. Sneakily he pulled off her blonde wig and tossed it on the coffee table. Ruby sniggered as Jim began to put the moves on her, sliding her blouse down off her shoulders, unbuttoning the front, exposing her blue and white striped bra.

"Holy shit," Jim kissed her shoulders. "they get bigger?"

"You know they did. I already went up one bra size, Jim." Ruby had already vowed to herself that she would get her breast issue fixed before the second trimester. Dr. Blair would need to x-ray the tissue and sort out what was wrong with them first. She had told him her theory about the milk ducts not working properly but he wanted more diagnostic testing done to confirm it.

Jim tilted Ruby back so her head was in his lap, giving her a deep kiss. She reached for him with her hands and her lips hungrily met his. He stripped off his shirt, reached for Ruby, then hiked her up enough so he could take her shirt off.

It was definitely true about her chest size. The bra she was wearing had been an old pre pregnancy one and she was close to spilling out of it already. The criminal gave her a massage, making her moan happily, then released her bra, making her breasts bounce happily as the restraining garment was discarded to one side on the floor.

"So, wanna do it here or upstairs?" he kissed and kneaded her shoulders.

"Upstairs. More room up there." the two of them picked up their clothing and headed up.

Stripped down naked, Ruby struck a pose with Jim, allowing him to mount her like a horse, both seized with manic energy.

When they settled in for bed that night, Jim had Ruby in a side hug as they both stared at the ceiling of the four poster canopy bed they had recently upgraded to.

"So what do you think our lives will be like when the baby gets here?" Jim rubbed Ruby's left hand, admiring the way her wedding ring sparkled in the low light from the window.

"Sleepless nights. Feedings, bonding, all of that." Ruby yawned sleepily.

"Plenty of bonding. I have to say I'm excited about it. I wish it was here
