Chapter 21: Agent Johnson
Claude and Regina had went home, they enjoyed the rest of their night. Claude couldn't help but worry about the FIB, now they knew who he was and who je works for. He was up all night worrying about g men showing up at his apartment. Regina walked out of the bedroom the next morning, she found Claude sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. Regina sat next to him, the hem of her short white silk nightgown rode up on her perfect legs. "What's wrong?" She asked him. "The FIB knows about me, they know about Nathan blackmailing me. They shot my chopper down yesterday during that job for Nathan." Claude replied. Regina fumbled with an object in her hand, Claude put his head on her shoulder. "What's that?" He asked her. Regina opened her hand to reveal a pregnancy test, the result was positive. "Wow, we really need to start using protection." Claude said with a smile. He lit a joint and took a puff, he then handed it to his wife who took a hit as well. They smoked the joint before getting dressed, Claude had a pot of coffee ready.
They drank the coffee and got dressed, Claude put on his mechanics clothes and Regina put on her uniform. They walked downstairs and kissed each other goodbye, Regina got in her car and left the garage. Claude started painting the PCJ-600 speed bike that a customer wanted rebuilt, he was painting it midnight blue with white lighting. He heard footsteps walking into the garage, he stood up and turned around to see a man wearing an FIB windbreaker and blue jeans walking into the garage. "What do you need?" He asked the man. "Claude Cormac?" The man asked in response. "Yeah?" Claude replied puzzled. The man pulled out a syringe and shot Claude in the neck, Claude passed out from the sedative. He fell down on the concrete floor, the man and two more agents picked Claude up and drug him to their van. They put Claude in the back of the van and got in with him, the man got up front in the passenger sea and the van drove away.
Claude woke up tied to a chair, he was still woozy from the drug. The man walked over to him and slapped him in the face, the slap helped Claude become alert. "Hey, tough guy. You with me?" The agent asked Claude. "Yeah." Claude replied in a drugged tone. "Good, we know who you are. We know what you really do for a living. We've been .monitoring you since the Jefar hit that you did with your wife and sister." The agent told him. "Who are you?" Claude asked him. "Agent Adam Johnson FIB. I gave the ok to shoot your heli down yesterday." Agent Johnson replied. "Why?" Claude asked. "The. IAA sells guns to Mexican gangs, the gangs use those guns to wreak havoc on the public, which pushes the Republican agenda to stop the Mexican gangs. Those Agency bastards sell guns, drugs, anything to keep their funding going and push their conservative agenda." Agent Johnson replied. "So why does this involve me?" Claude asked Agent Johnson. "Every job you done for Agent McReary was against the interest of National Security. Jefar and the other men you hit for McReary were informants for the FIB. You hurt out bureau, now you're gonna make it up to us." Agent Johnson told Claude. "What do you need me to do?" Claude asked Agent Johnson.
The door opened in the room, Joy, and Regina walked in. Their hands tied behind their backs and tape was over their mouths. "You and your groupies here are gonna do some favors for me. You scratch my back and I don't indict you on the several counts of drug running and murder that you're involved with." Agent Johnson told Claude. He lit a cigarette and looked at Claude, he blew the smoke in Claude's face. "I own you, I own your wife, I own your sister, her boyfriend, your child, I own you all. When I call you, you will do a job for me. If you want complete freedom, you will earn it." Agent Johnson told Claude. He cut the rope on the arm rests that Claude's hands were tied to, the other agents cut Regina and Joy free. Claude walked over to Regina, they hugged and looked at Agent Johnson. "And Claude…stay out of trouble." Agent Johnson told Claude. Claude, Regina, and Joy walked out of the room, they left the warehouse to find they were in the desert.
