Roger was still angry as he left the museum the following morning. Angry at himself for losing his temper but even more angry with Prue for putting him in that position to begin with. He knew he had to get out of work before Prue arrived, just as he had had to leave the house that morning before she came too. Their brief phone conversation moments ago was simply to confirm she would be coming into work.
He was used to the familiar guilt that was twisting in his gut as he remembered the things he had done last night. But there was also a small tingle of excitement that was growing by the minute. The guilt he was used to and had, by now, found a way to bury deep inside so that it would no longer bother him. The excitement was something else though. He knew it was partly because of the power he had over Prue – the ability to do whatever he wanted to her body and she couldn't, wouldn't, stop him. After last night, there was a new dimension to the power he held over her. The power to end her life at any moment.
It had never occurred to him before. Until now, it had always been about punishing her and making her feel pain. Now, as he relived his actions of the night before he realised that her life was literally in his hands. If she pushed him too far, he could simply end things. Permanently. As that thought penetrated his brain, he felt a rush of arousal surge straight to his groin. That surprised him momentarily. He always knew he enjoyed hurting Prue, but to think it could excite him that much……he was convinced there and then that he would be able to get off on that thought far more than his other fantasies involving her torture.
Knowing that Prue would be at the museum by now meant he needed something to do for the afternoon. Pressing Speed Dial 6 on his cell phone, he instructed his favourite hooker to meet him in their usual motel room in an hours time. Before he could try out his new fantasy, he needed to address a more urgent problem – Trudeau. Roger was convinced that something was going on between his 'beloved' and her ex-sweetheart.
It wasn't so much jealousy that was causing him the problem because he knew he didn't love Prue. She was just a trophy girlfriend and when they met, had been his way into the top job at the museum.
He had found out after some digging that the retiring boss doted on Prue and valued her opinion in every aspect of the running of the museum. He also knew that she had expressly turned down the job when it had been offered to her because she did not want to get side tracked by the day to day running of a business. She was all about the antiques. Silly girl.
He realised that she would be his 'in' with the boss. By all accounts she was also something of a challenge. The Private Detective he had hired to find out everything he would need to know, had discovered that she had a reputation as a hard nosed woman who didn't date at all. If there was one thing Roger loved it was a challenge and from that moment on, his mission was not just to get the top job, and all the money and prestige that went with it, but also to break the great Prue Halliwell. And break her he had.
Roger's main concern, he decided, was the threat Trudeau could pose to his perfect life. He had the trophy fiancée, he had the top job at one of the top museums in the country, and he had the money and social connections that he had sought for so long. He was finally living the life he felt he deserved and he wasn't about to let some bumbling cop from Prue's past ruin everything he had worked so hard for.
Pulling into a parking lot, he looked through his diary of business contacts, searching for a very important number. Quickly dialling, he waited only a few seconds before his call was answered.
"Turner Investigations"
"Cole, it's Roger. I need some work done and quickly. Don't ask any questions, just clear your desk and put everything you have onto this. I need immediate results, you got it?"
"Sure Rog, no problem, just give me what you have and I will get everything you need. Usual arrangement I assume?"
"Yep, usual arrangement. Subject is a Police Office with SF PD. Name of Andrew Trudeau. Find out everything, and ring me to arrange a meet ASAP. Thanks Cole."
Ending the phone call, Roger immediately felt better about the situation. All he needed to do now was make sure the two most important people in Prue's life had no suspicions whatsoever. Quickly dialling Piper's cell phone, Roger explained that he needed to speak to her and Phoebe in confidence later that afternoon as he was concerned about Prue. Piper only too readily agreed when he mentioned he was concerned and he arranged to meet them at the Manor at 5 that evening. He knew Prue would still be at at the museum so they would not be disturbed.
Checking his watch, Roger started the car, manoeuvred out of the parking lot, and headed towards the motel for his 'date' with Debbie. Relived that everything was in hand, the anticipation started to build as he thought of his new fantasy and the potentially explosive results.
