A RIDDLE WRAPPED IN A MYSTERY INSIDE AN ENIGMA

[jaegerhunde01]

Sir Russell said nothing………his mind attempting to flush the image formed by the erotic description………

Marianna Taccari pretended to look at the floor……..running her hand over the front of her skirt………she too was acting her part………

‘We are all women of the world here Sir’ said Bossetti………her face becoming serious
‘That was the kind of depravity and fear that the Rose Rapist was preying and feeding on’ she added……….her voice terse……….

She continued…………..
‘With all seven victims she did the same……….and more of a similar nature……….she was telling us something’

‘And that being’ said Yates…......her face still a little flush……..

‘She wanted to be a woman……….a certain type of woman………’
She paused again………for her captive audience………..
‘She wanted to be them’……………

The men nodded………….agreeing with her conclusion on motive……..

‘Yes……..I suppose, I see the logic now in that……...but still……….why all these sordid details’
Nicola Yates felt a little angry, and her expression showed that anger………but it was more than that…….
The Italian’s comment had made her feel slightly uncomfortable, after all she was a woman………..
She inwardly recoiled at the thought of someone else within her clothes……….
She cringed again, her imagination working overtime………and being forced to watch someone wearing your own underwear……..Uurrhh!
It was just plain dirty……..
She felt a little hot now………the room was warm, her heavy and tight clothing adding to the discomfort………..
She suddenly became very conscious now of her own tight bra around her chest……….her overly warm tights, her knickers underneath………
The tight half-slip……..
Her heavy uniform……..the cravat at her throat……..
Her overheating slim body………
Garments she took for granted……..normal work wear, nothing special………..the thought of some strange woman stealing them seemed bizarre………....and twisted and sick………
Hands pulling at her clothes……..

She shut out the dark and lurid thoughts……..
She remembered that she a Police officer……..and not a junior officer either……..and not a scared slip of girl……….
She sat more straight……..her chin up……….her black stockinged knees pressed tightly together

Bossetti saw that acute discomfort……..
Good……...she had knocked the Englishwoman off balance……….
That had been very easy………
The Captain continued……..

‘Why…….to try and explain to you all that we are not dealing with normal people…….on the surface yes……..but underneath not’

‘The Rose Rapist was someone with an identity crisis……….someone living a life that for them was not enough………they envied the life and looks of those women who were assaulted and robbed……….she wanted to look like them……..to be them…….hence taking all their clothes and dressing like them……..every detail……even down to the lingerie they wore’

Yates opened her mouth to speak…….
Bossetti cut her off……….
‘That’s why we had the exact build of the rapist’
‘The victims underwear fitted her perfectly……….the Rose Rapist had a similar if not exact body and shape as them all………hips, thighs and waist…….…even her breasts were the same size’
‘It’s the face that eluded us’

She had unsettled Yates enough……..and turned back to the Policemen………who still looked fascinated…….and were probably aroused by it all………most men were when it came to anything concerning lesbians……….

Sanders asked something………….
‘So no one noticed anything when all this was going on………the women attacked not answering phone calls and doors……..nosey neighbours maybe’

Bossetti gave a charming smile……….

‘The attacks normally happened at the start of a weekend………or if they had time off………the women were not expected back at work anytime soon or would be missed by anyone else for at least forty eight hours’

Sanders nodded……..
She continued……….

‘Our rapist, at an opportune time, transferred most of the contents of their wardrobes, multiple trips………no excessive noise, like someone was moving out……..using two sports holdalls it appeared………to some sort of vehicle….…….it turned out to be a small van actually’

She paused again…….

‘She only took what interested her……..the best that these unfortunate women owned’

She looked at Yates………..

‘Only one neighbour saw our imposter at her evil work……..an elderly lady in the apartment opposite passed her on the stairwell…….the old lady passed pleasantries to the woman she took to be her lovely neighbour…….’

Yates chimed in ‘She must have been good’

‘Yes she was……..the old woman was far from senile or crippled by old age……she was in fact quite sharp for her age……..her statement was very detailed and thorough………after, when the mistreated woman in question had been discovered bound in her bedroom, the pensioner was still convinced that she had been speaking to her young neighbour……..always a pleasant and polite girl in her eyes……..the same as the imposter she had passed on the buildings stairwell’

Both men nodded……….
Sir Russell spoke in loud and commanding voice………

‘So……one cannot track all the clothing on all the women of Milan……..it was a bit of a needle in a haystack situation…..what’

Blake nodded his head in agreement……
‘If this Rose woman was going to be apprehended then it would involve a little luck………a lot of luck’

Nicola Yates grinned and flatly stated…………..a note of triumph in her tone
‘It was the rose………you tracked her by the rose’

Sir Russell stared inquisitively at his Detective Inspector…….
Nicola addressed her chief directly……..who looked a little blank………..not quite understanding her train of thought……….
‘The rose sir……..inserted between the buttock cheeks’

‘Oh….yes…..that’s right’ thinking of Muriel in the same position………..lovely…………

‘Very good Detective’ said Bossetti………
‘A final gesture of contempt, humiliation……call it what you want…….…a gesture of love and a thank you for your time note of a peculiar sort’

‘Well done Yates’ exclaimed Sir Russell……..
Suddenly very glad that someone was on the ball with this one……..he noticed Yates legs…..maybe for the first time………..sheathed in black nylon……..she had a good shape too……..and for the first time realized that she was rather pretty……..
He concluded that he must make more time……..and interest………..regarding his subordinates………

Bossetti went on.......

‘I sent the two examples to a reputed botanist………..the rose was of a type only grown in France, in the south in fact near the border…….’
‘And then who sold them in Milan was the big question’

She saw the expectant faces………
‘Not so easy……….Italians of both sexes loves to buy flowers……..and for many reasons, not just as an act of love or devotion……..there were around three hundred florists within the city and its suburbs’

‘How many within the area of the attacks’ asked Yates…….

[jaegerhunde01]

She was rather quick thought the imposter………unlike the two men………she was sure by now that this Sir Russell was taking a keen interest in her partner, especially in her legs it seems………..dressed in her stolen uniform………and equally pilfered nylons and heeled shoes……….

‘Around thirty’ she replied……….
‘But eventually we narrowed our enquiries down to six’

‘The more wizened chief had granted me a small team……too small, but still, it was outside the jurisdiction of those in the Serious Crime Squad, who were still trawling in men……..’
‘Eventually our efforts paid off…….but in the meantime five more women had been attacked……..

She feigned regret……….
‘One florist store in particular sparked our interest………very nice, old and traditional………it was further away from the area that the women generally lived in, off the beat and track as you would say, No……….but still, they sold that particular strain of rose’

‘We kept the building under surveillance………although it was not watertight………I did not have the manpower’
‘The florist was a family affair, although the father had died a while ago……..the mother was invalid……..the children had moved away………mostly’

‘Not at the top of the list you would think……..’

Yates and the men were captivated……………

‘The store was being run by the only daughter……..the sons, had moved out of the city………four of them………’
‘And the one left……..a certain Bella Ninetta Rossi……..a common enough name Rossi………..twenty five years old……..thick glasses………with an acne pock marked face………rather frumpy, too frumpy in fact………she wore baggy and dull clothes……’
‘Not a looker……..more of a loner it appeared…………the eternal spinster………either loathed, mocked or pitied by others………loved never, except maybe by the parents who had brought her into the world’
‘She doted on her ailing mother night and day……..seven days a week……..and ran the flower shop……..that was her life, a social outcast………destined to live and die alone…..’

She looked at her captive audience…………

‘Or so it seemed to most who knew her………..on the surface at least’

‘We eventually obtained useful information from the traumatized victims……..they had all visited the store……..some were regular customers, others not so……..but they had been there’
‘We zeroed in on that florist………with the limited resources we had’

‘We placed one guy in a car outside each of those particular florists of interest………that’s all we could do’

‘But the fat and spotty Bella seemed not to leave the building……deliveries and customers during the day, shutting up shop at night……..that is all she seemed to live for……….day in……..day out’
‘There was a large apartment above the store where she resided with her bedridden mother……’

‘But then my team started to observe a certain female, a female very different from Bella Rossi..………exiting an alleyway and walking past the flower shop………late in the evening………..and returning very early in the morning……….this female never seemed to spot our car’

‘This woman was always smartly dressed……….with a trim figure………nice hair and a pretty face………quite a beauty the team noted’

‘That part of the city is old……like a rabbit warren……..she would enter a side alley………and then ‘Kazzam’………just disappear’……………
‘At first my Team assumed she was maybe a prostitute, there were known operators in the area………or a night cat………you know……that sort of female who prowls at night looking for a little companionship……..it is not unknown’
‘But eventually the sightings become all too regular………I had a hunch………and the other stakeouts were drawing a complete blank……..all looked normal there’

‘Very interesting……..fascinating’ said Sanders…………..

‘Well….I obtained a search warrant’

‘We raided one morning at first light……..by chance the strange and slim female had been observed passing by one hour previously’

‘After we crashed the shop…….all appeared normal………within the apartment we found the mother heavily sedated………’

‘No sign of Bella Rossi though…………we searched the premises thoroughly……….but no Bella and she had not been observed leaving’

‘Eventually my team found an entrance to a basement or cellar, a door hidden behind a false screen, easily moved……….I had people positioned in that so called magical alleyway just in case……….’

‘You found her’ said Yates

‘Oh yes……..in the basement………and not tied up either……..nothing like that……..it appeared Bella Rossi rather enjoyed doing the tying up’

‘Really’ said Sir Russell……….

‘Yes……..she was guilty as soon as we barged in………caught ‘Bang to rights’ as you English would say Detective’

Nicola Yates just started at her………this Italian was starting to get on her nerves……….

‘Explain’ was all she could muster………..

‘The basement walls were covered with photographs……..nice prints too, large and clear, it appeared that the outwardly dour and boring Bella was also an amateur photographer………quite good too……..she could also develop her own film’

‘The walls were festooned with colour prints of our seven victims in various stages of undress……..unconscious of course, we found the chloroform there too…..……all had been posed for so called artistic shots……..a breast hanging out and over a bra cup, nipples exposed, things like that….…….legs wide………nylons pulled down to knees…….reduced to just being in panties, their brassieres removed……...eventually shots of them fully naked……….and finally of them fully tied and gagged……..’

She paused……..to take breath………

‘The victims never reported themselves being photographed……..it seems Bella was building herself up for when they were awake………’

‘In the basement……..the photographs were positioned were she could view them all from a central sitting position…..……like some sort of twisted and perverse art gallery I suppose……….from there, sitting she could pleasure herself with her quite comprehensive collection of sex aids………revisiting and reliving her illicit acts no doubt’

‘Also there were racks of women’s clothing……….containers of underwear, nylons………shoes and boots…….coats and jackets……….there were seven separated collections………all advertising an individual’s name………the names of our seven victims of course’

‘An open and shut case……..we had got our Rose Rapist’

‘Sounds like a right one’ exclaimed Nicola……….
‘But I thought you said this ‘Bella’ was rather overweight…….not much to look at’ said Yates…..
‘Not at all like the women she had attacked’

‘Yes……but not true…….’ said the imposter

‘We found padding, a sort of fat suit………she wore a wig, she had never needed those thick glasses…….……..as well as being a rather good photographer she was also a gifted makeup artist………she had made herself appear to the unsuspecting world rather ugly and dour……….’
‘Her brothers were good looking men…….she too had had been blessed by nature the same way……..but unfortunately not her mind………’

‘She was in fact rather slim and good looking……..a very similar characteristic she shared with her unfortunate targets…….’
‘The basement was very large and spacious……..a small gym had been built in there……..she kept herself fit when not conducting episodes of assault, false imprisonment and break in’

‘It subsequently surfaced that she selected her victims when they innocently visited her establishment………unbeknown to them they would be targeted and stalked………..all those women she could replace and mimic very well indeed……..’

[jaegerhunde01]

‘In fact, when we arrested her she was only wearing the delicate and chic underclothes of a certain assistant bank manager………her fourth victim………’

‘It appeared she had gone out in one of her outfits……..a designer dress with all the trimmings underneath………a bar renowned as a pick up place……..she was even using the said managers name………’

‘It seems she liked to go out………very late……….using her victim’s identity and clothes………picking up men, not women though………and having hasty and dirty sex in places of convenience……..never hotel rooms or residences……..’

‘She was living out an alter ego, a sex vixen maniac………pretending to be those women………although the original ladies led a conventional and normal life’…………

‘Bizarre and quite insane’ stated Yates

‘Quite so detective………..constant abuse by her brothers it may be, or the father…… maybe sexual but certainly physical……….over a prolonged period of time………it certainty turned her mind……….it seemed her four handsome brothers had married equally handsome wives……….while she remained……..shall we say single……..alone………angry and envious’
‘The Doctors are still working on why’

‘But her strange hobby or peccadillo started a long time ago’

‘Really…..how’ said Nicola…………

‘On subsequent interviews we discovered some enlightening facts from the estranged siblings…….nothing from the mother who died a short while later’’

‘Especially from two of the wives………incidents that were very helpful in explaining on what had caused the family rift with Bella Rossi’

‘It appears that the main reason that they all had gone their separate ways was that the two had discovered Bella by sheer accident engaged in something had caused them both to beat her almost senseless………one wife had beat her so hard that she ended up in hospital for two days’

‘The wives had gone out for the night with their husbands………coming home unexpectedly early while Bella was supposed to be babysitting it seems………’

‘Finding their children asleep……no sign of Bella…….they searched…….they found Bella hiding within their respective bedrooms………..wearing the said spouses clothes and underwear………one found her fully dressed in one of her spare party outfits, hiding under the bedstead………the other found her supposed sister in law in a matching set of her rather racy panties and bra..……a rather revealing black lacy set she had actually told Bella in secret that her brother still loved to remove from her body on those special nights………Bella had been hiding in one of her wardrobes……….all within their own intimate bedrooms too, sacrilege, a betrayal of trust………while also partaking in their makeup, shoes and nylons……...even styling her hair as they did………Bella was trying to copy on how they looked’

‘The two outraged wives were not very happy………and their fists and feet showed it……….as only enraged Italian women are renowned to do……..’

‘Over an extended period of time the other two wives had suspected and then confirmed that some of their personal items had been interfered with………intimate pieces of underwear were going missing, the remainder at time were messed up within their drawers………clothes hung on racks and not in the same order as they had normally left them or clothes not refolded in the same fashion as they always did……...but Bella had never been caught red handed like with the other two………at time’s they thought that they were just imagining it…….some sort of paranoia, but no……something was not right’

‘They had both come to the same conclusion……....only one other person other than them or their husbands had had the access and opportunity to be in their bedrooms…….and if they wished violate their private and intimate spaces……..

‘They individually and in complete ignorance of each other’s dilemma……there had been no collusion…….confessed their fears to their respective husbands on what they believed was going on……….that their sister, was wearing their clothes when they were not around……….and some of their underwear was going missing…….’
‘They gave certain examples to the doubtful and rather mocking siblings’
‘Such as a dress that they had not worn smelling slightly of a perfume that they had never worn’
‘Once freshly ironed clothes looking rather rumpled or creased’
‘Tights or collant as we call them……..that had obviously been stretched…….nylons that they had not even worn…….still within their drawer……..supposedly fresh and where they had left them after laundry………..they could tell that they had been used by someone other than themselves and stuffed back inside the dresser draw’

‘They took some convincing……..it was either her or them they declared………which was it……..they were to take their pick on what scenario was feasible……….’
‘She was banned from their homes……..eventually they moved away’

‘Out of sheer embarrassment and having no wish to cause a family scandal……..they all said nothing………not even between the four families…….their loving parents were ill enough as it was………the incidents were not connected’

‘Bella did not press any charges on being beaten up………she just slunk away into forgotten loneliness………desperate and frustrated………..a secret pariah within the family’

‘They just banned Bella Rossi from their lives……..all eventually leaving the city……..’

‘Severe personality disorder by the looks of it’ said Nicola ‘a split personality’

‘Yes Detective’ said Bossetti ‘many I believe’

She continued………
‘And now Bella is forever out of their lives……….all of ours hopefully and for a long time to come………..buried deep within one of our very secure psychiatric institutions………’
‘No female member staff is left alone with her……ever….…at all times’

She doubted that thought the woman masquerading herself as Clio Bossetti………over time security always slips……..it is human nature to relax ones guard………

‘Quite so’ said Sanders……….
‘Good work Captain…..most excellent’ stated Sir Russell……..

‘One last point sir’ she looked directly at Nicola Yates……..
And this part of the tale was her own fabrication………..

‘In that basement I found out that Bella Rossi was just about to impose herself on an eighth victim….’

She paused for affect………..
She was looking again at Nicola Yates…….whose poise and neck stiffened in anticipation……….

‘She was stalking a certain woman that again fitted her profile and had appealed to those hidden sexual desires…….. ‘

‘Another unsuspecting female she had taking a liking too……..in her looks and what she wore on her skin……..’

‘In fact a woman who wore a uniform to work……… this time she was going to up her game……she had seen, liked and targeted a secretary at Police Headquarters……a woman who had never visited her shop either……...this policewoman, single and unattached worked at the criminal investigation department…………how appropriate……….and how apt on what she had planned to do with her……and her uniform of course’

‘Bella Rossi had written down her secret desires and nefarious plans in great detail’

‘Those demented plans being that she wanted to wear the woman’s uniform to work and parade herself around the inept Police Headquarters………she like me thought them inept and also very inefficient……....taunting them……….mocking them directly to their faces………without them even suspecting that the person they sought was right there with them………’

‘Of course, this time her masquerade would require more time’
‘She intended to keep the poor woman subdued, drugged and silenced within her own home……while she mimicked her face and took over her life for as long as it took for them to find her’
‘That’s if those idiots ever did’……….

‘Your point Captain’ said Yates

‘My point is Detective’ smiled Bossetti ‘is that lessons can be learned from this final conclusion’

‘They are’ glared Nicola………

‘The uniform and face of the unaware yet lucky policewoman is very similar to yours’

Nicola bristled at that last snide comment………she could clearly see the mockery in the Captains face……..the sarcastic tone of her voice………

[jaegerhunde01]

Rather aggressively she retorted…….
‘Like hell’
‘That will be the day’……..her face started to turn crimson………it looked like she was going to stand up in protest………and let fly at the Italian……….

She was not just some office secretary in uniform, a witless floozy ………she could look after herself………she had come top of her class in self defence……..she was even very apt at slipping out of supposedly secured handcuffs…….as if she would let someone subdue her…….keep her prisoner………and then suffer the indignity of allowing someone else to wear her clothes………then taking over her life while she remained some sort of sexual slave within her own home………
Unfeasible, insulting and quite outrageous………..

The men looked a little uncomfortable now……..ready to diffuse any subsequent outburst of anger……
Bloody women thought Sir Russell……..always overly emotional………..normally concerning everything……..
He was about to intervene……..intending to stamp his authority on the inevitable outbursts that were about to explode between these two in his own office……..
That would not do at all……….
Regardless of how lovely they both looked………he would not have shouting in his presence……..unless he was doing the shouting………..

Just in the nick of time……..
There was a polite knock at the door……….

‘Ah tea’ exclaimed the commissioner………relieved that they were all about to be interrupted…….

‘Come in’ he bellowed………..

The two women stood down……..their aggressive postures deflated………along with their expanded bosoms under their respective and tightly tailored uniform tunics……..

They all focused on the door as Miss Sale’s rear profile came through……….pulling behind her a small silver and wood hostess tray…….which was obviously conveying a collection of cups, saucers, a tea pot and a selection of tasty English tit bits that one would expect in savouring a nice ‘Cuppa’………..

The fake Bossetti feigned interest in the hostess trolley……..when in fact her eyes were all over the thin woman………
All were silent as the assistant and her trolley positioned themselves to serve tea……..

Bossetti noted her bending slightly……….
Her horn rimmed eyeglasses………her tight and severe hair style……..
The rustle of her long pencil style skirt…….
The hiss of that invisible slip sliding over the nylon of her gray toned tights……….
The thin blouse becoming tight on her back……revealing further the outline of her deliciously feminine underwear obscured tantalizingly underneath………….

‘Thank you Miss Sale……..Just place the trolley there, we will help ourselves’ indicated the commissioner………
‘Yes sir’ was the meek reply……..

Bossetti had the brief sensation of her inhaling the women’s perfume…….a strong scent, not sweet
The woman in her tight pencil skirt had come close to her……….too close than what was really required…….
Bossetti again had a fleeting glance of her gray stockinged lower calf’s…………her gray open footed heels as she turned around and began to depart the room……….no doubt there were hidden and reinforced seamed toes within those ladylike shoes………

Unseen by Taccari and Bossetti………she was swinging her bony hips as she paraded herself out of the office……….
Finally they all heard the door click as it closed behind her……….

Once again they were all on their own……..
The interview could continue……….

They all began to help themselves to the contents of the hostess trolley………

Sir Russell decided to move the agenda along…….away from the late career of the now incarcerated ‘Rose Rapist’………fascinating though it had been…….
This Bossetti woman was obviously very qualified in investigating and apprehending criminals of a certain type…….
But what of criminals of the state sponsored category………

‘Captain Bossetti…….thank you for your excellent and very frank synopsis on your last case…..fascinating and rightly commendable work’

‘But may I return to the great threat at hand’
‘Erica Kreuz’

‘Yes………certainly Sir’ she replied………

‘I believe you also were the first to detect and track Kreuz operating in Europe…….am I correct’ ventured the commissioner………

‘You are correct Sir’ she sounded modest when addressing the Chief………

‘And five years ago it was you who alerted Rome that she was in England………you knew she was operating in this country’
He neglected to say that the various HM Government security agencies had no idea………there had been a lot of nervous hand wringing on that lapse……….
A few heads had rolled………

Bossetti looked at her varnished finger nails………

‘Yes………she was operating in mainland Europe this side of the curtain for two years straight…….’
She paused……

‘I was assigned that case by chance………I was originally dealing with cases similar to Bella Rossi………although she was the most extreme of cases’
‘But then I realized there was someone else out there………and these maybe not be psychiatric or simple sex cases……..someone was working to a plan, for a reason other than rape or getting their thrills from tying someone up and wearing their clothes and using their name…….’

She sipped her tea…..daintily holding the small china saucer……..careful not to spill nay on her tight skirt……..
‘Oh…..this is good’ and the tea was……….dark and strong………..she did not take it with milk and sugar……..like the English did……….in her mind ruining the natural flavour of the tea……….
Her lips left a red stain on the china cup………….

She continued……….

‘This was espionage, industrial, political and military’
This person…….later I suspected there were two working in tandem were selecting certain woman…….women who worked in vital areas, or were connected to those who did…….they would be subdued and replaced……….an objective was secured, sometimes that objective was understood by us…….others could not………but those objectives must have completed the whole……..this person was working her way towards something………and the something was big’

Sir Russell placed his cup back on his desk………
‘Did you ever find out what that something was’……….his tongue licked his lips……….he was not looking at the woman he thought was Clio Bossetti……….

‘No sir……we never did’
Inwardly Sir Russell was rather pleased with that statement……….
‘Replaced you say…….as in identity theft’

‘Yes Sir………Bella Rossi was a gifted amateur…………Erica Kreuz and the other one whose name I never discovered where in a league of their own……they were very special’
‘They never left a trace……..nothing……….ghosts’
‘They rarely kill………unless forced to……….they just leave a trail of traumatized and bound women……….most of the time those women never know why’
‘It was like they were chameleons……….whoever they chose to impersonate it was like they morphed into them………it was uncanny……..…sometimes I thought it was very unnatural……….I have heard of certain Soviet experiments’

No……No…… Captain……..it’s all natural……….not some mumbo jumbo or science fiction……..its amazing what expert training and experience can achieve’ interrupted Sir Russell………..

He had read the special file on Kreuz and what was her name……Russian that was it, Kaganovich………
Miss Sale had taken the file back and locked it away again before these ladies had arrived……….
He knew better of course……….best to change the subject………

‘You could be right Sir’ she said

[jaegerhunde01]

‘You know I am’ he smiled back…….the smile rather condescending and obviously false……..there was a hint of menace there………
That was her cue to return to the script……….

‘Her infiltration missions on various NATO installations and EEC Agencies were increasing………she was leaving a shorter trail………her tempo of operations were increasing………..the time lag between hits was becoming rather worrying……….whatever she was after, I think she had found it’

Sir Russell looked on intently……….he was wondering how much she really knew……….
‘How did you discover she was in the UK’ he asked……….

‘It started In Rome…….as you know Sir’
‘To cut to the chase……….’

‘Please do’ he suggested………..

‘She had infiltrated the US Embassy in Rome……….posing as a visiting Greek liaison consular officer………a local employee based at Athens, she was scheduled onto a routine training course..………there to learn the trade the correct way and use those lessons back in Athens……..’

She looked up………and glared at all three
The fake Taccari was generally ignored………she was there right now in a supporting role……..

‘The Greek woman……..a young woman I may add……….never made it to the course’

Sanders took note on that last comment……..
So did the girl Yates by the look of it…………
Sir Russell appeared nonplussed and calm………

‘Go on’ he stated………smiling……..leaning back on his high backed chair………

She pretended to look nervous…….after all……….she was supposed to be divulging Top Secret information……….or it was then, if not now it was certainly at least classified…………but the State DS in Sophia had briefed her well………very well indeed……….

‘There was a massive increase in cipher traffic coming out of the GDR and USSR Embassies in Rome…….it was not diplomatic traffic either………..military grade cipher signals, flash traffic of high priority………they made a mistake of sending certain enquiries to Athens…….using the same high propriety signal traffic………there was a connection there…….and why Athens’

Chief Superintendent Sanders was really impressed
‘Good job on making the connection…….with all that electronic clutter out there………….with the sheer volume of it all’

Sir Russell ‘Yes……and it was not your job either……..not being military intelligence and all’

Bit of a snooper this one he thought……..unorthodox………exploiting channels outside of her chain of command………not intimidated by stepping on toes……….getting her fingers burnt……..
He had better watch her………..

The fake Bossetti was playing with them all………

‘So, again why Rome…….our people broke some of the signals……….not so much the content, but names……….names of high ranking personnel at the US Embassy……….those same codex ciphers that were leaving the Warsaw Pact Embassies……. enough at least were also being relayed to the US Embassy in Athens…….names again, maybe orders…….definitely information going out via the East Germans and Russians in Rome, and information I suspected should be going nowhere……….these signals were not authorized……….they were hidden within routine messages……...or so I apotheosised………..some were being sent late at night or very early in the morning……….when these Embassies were very quiet…………’

‘I concluded that something was going in Rome, something unauthorized by the security and political agencies of the West……….also by someone from Athens……...and that something was not above board……..’

She looked at these English people……….

‘Espionage Gentlemen……….detrimental to us all’

They all nodded………

‘I suspected it was Erica Kreuz………she had been off my radar, since I lost track of her after her last escapade in West Germany………Berlin in fact………’
‘But I could not prove it and once again……..…like Milan much later………..I was generally ignored’

‘So once again…….I struck out alone………apart from a few confidantes and friends in other important departments’
‘I just checked on who had been transferred from Athens to Rome………..after that the dots began to connect……..date and times and on when the increased signals traffic began in Rome………’
‘On where the leaks flowing from and on why the constant back and fore questions from Moscow Central and Normannenstrasse in Berlin……all using American assets………of all things………’

Sanders attempted to summarize a rather confusing scenario……….

‘So you traced Kreuz from the increased signal traffic and that she was posing as a Greek consular officer on secondment at the US Embassy in Rome’

‘Yes and no’ said Bossetti……..
‘It was only a hunch……….a feeling………but I thought I was right’

Sanders shifted his head in an inquisitive fashion
‘Do go on’

‘The real Greek woman was not a Consular officer……….she was EYP……..…Greece’s primary intelligence service…….as we all know it is riddled with corruption and informers……....’
‘Someone on the Greek side betrayed that woman………gave central and Berlin her name and future destination………that was a name my people deciphered………repeatedly.……..Moscow was taking an interest in her…….too much so……….’

‘Plans were made in advance of her arrival in Rome…………’

She took a breath and continued………

‘Only someone like Kreuz could pull off something like this…….’

‘Upon her arrival in Rome………Kreuz pretended to be an official American welcoming party…….the Greek thought she was getting the real VIP treatment………and special treatment she would receive……...Kreuz drove her to the flat in Rome that had been prearranged in advance and thereafter took her place……….she is rather bold…..unflappable as you would all say’

Yates this time……...intrigued again by the detailed analysis……..

‘This Greek woman……was she………well…….disposed of’

Bossetti looked at her………and said with some inner relish………

‘No…..…it’s not her MO…….she kills only when absolutely necessary’, the fake Bossetti thinking that was the Policewoman’s real weakness……..she continued………

‘Kreuz shares some similarity with the Bella Rossi who I mentioned earlier’
‘She is what they call a deep immersion agent……..when she assumes a disguise……..she also absorbs a persona…….she is very detailed and thorough in her work’

‘The real Greek woman……..a spy of course, would also have had access to the American Intelligence data base, hence that traffic increase……..’
‘Kreuz new that………..and she took advantage of that access to the full’
‘The real Greek Agent spent a few weeks in that flat……….isolated and replaced……….generally drugged and sedated……..or gagged and bound……..maybe all at the same time…………otherwise she was physically none the worse for the experience’

‘I suspect that her nerves, self respect and confidence were all rather dented and exhausted at the end of these trials and tribulations……….’
‘Oh…….’
‘And she had always been left very naked of course………..since the moment she had entered that flat all alone with Kreuz’ Bossetti added……….

Yates felt a little iciness enter her body……….right at the base of her spine, regardless that she was fully dressed and well covered up.……..and she shuddered briefly at the experience of feeling that……..

Bossetti noted and enjoyed the reaction she had caused……..she sensed the young English woman’s imagination running riot on again being imprisoned……….tied up………..gagged

[jaegerhunde01]

‘So……..we are right back to lunatic wearing other women’s clothes and smalls………once again I may add’ sighed Nicola Yates………..thinking how bizarre and filthy minded these foreigners really were…….

Bossetti bent her neck and head to one side…………
She had not understood something……
At last thought Nicola……….the arrogant bitch

Bossetti asked
‘Smalls……..what are smalls’

The men looked anywhere except directly at the ladies……..

Nicola Yates sighed……..thinking good grief
In a tone more suited to that when addressing a rather dim student………
‘Ladies underwear Captain……….it’s an English type of saying I suppose’

‘But why small…….or smalls’ she still enquired

Nicola rolled her mascara coated eyes…….
‘You will have to work that out yourself I’m afraid’

Bossetti just shrugged her shoulders……..
Lieutenant Taccari finally said something………….
‘I will explain later’
Bossetti let the matter drop………..

‘Where was I’
‘Ah Yes’ Bossetti was back on track………..
She continued…….

‘By the time I reported my findings to my superiors and convince them……..’
‘And then our people to convince the Americans who are never wrong or infallible……..and that their station in Rome had been breached and compromised……….they were both gone’

‘They’ said the Commissioner…………perking up once more……………he had been thinking about ladies smalls……………

‘Yes………..there were two of them after all, like I suspected, but had been unsure…………’
‘Kreuz was working with a partner………it was Kaganovich the Russian……….it was not just the woman from Athens on secondment at the Rome Embassy………….there was another from Thessaloniki……….again EYP, belonging to their Turkish section watching the border area………’

‘Unbelievable’ said Sanders ‘the nerve of it’
‘Yes…..they do not lack daring do’ agreed Sir Russell………….
‘And you said they were gone’

Bossetti answered…….
‘Yes……….those stubborn Americans would not believe us………by the time my superiors made calls directly to Washington and presented my findings they had flown the coup’

She smiled…….she liked that term…………

‘You know the Americans……..only they have the answers……….no one else’

‘And this partner of Kreuz’ enquired the commissioner……………..

‘Irina Kaganovich…………Moscow Central………they have worked together before I believe’

She paused……..thinking ahead…….…and began again to talk……
She coughed a little……..her throat gagging………
She had been talking for a while now………
Her mouth was dry……..
She took a sip of tea……..it was tepid but at least wet……
She swallowed and continued………
Placing the cup and saucer back onto the hostess trolley…….

‘Well……….without the Americans permission we raided both flats registered under the Greek women’s names……
‘Of course……..we found the real woman……..they were very indisposed……….…and finally the Americans really believed us this time………’

‘One up for the foolish Italians eh’…………

She chuckled……..even though she was not the real Clio Bossetti relaying the story……..she was very convincing and one hell of an actress………
The real Clio she assumed was probably like those two Greek women……..gagged and bound somewhere……….where she did not care………..as long as she was nowhere near her……………..

‘You should have seen the face of the CIA station chief as he personally burst into the bedroom of the woman he thought to be a legitimate Greek agent………the one from Athens………I think maybe he was having an affair with her………or he thought he was at least‘

‘He was confronted and shocked by the sight of a strange young woman on her back….………stretched out and tightly bound to a bed…………half naked, just clad in small panties………’

They all jumped a little when Captain Bossetti suddenly shouted loudly in triumph………like someone had scored a goal at a football match……….

‘Smalls…….I get it now’ her face beamed in understanding……

‘Really Captain……..can we move on……..’ requested Sir Russell………foreign women, always loud and excitable……..sometimes so trivial………..
But still highly desirable…………..she had great long legs, all encased in a rich black nylon……..with that tight skirt and those heels…….lovely……….


‘Yes sir……sorry Sir’
She became all serious and professional once again…………it was like turning off a light switch……….

Nicola Yates’s look said it all………….

She continued once more

‘Half the woman’s face was obscured because a stuff gag had been packed into it, secured by a pair of nylons..………she was blood shot and red eyed’
‘We released her of course………..she was very weak and semi consciousness from the ordeal……….the paramedics covered her up and took her to a private clinic………to be interviewed later when she had regained some strength’

‘But even the Station Chief had to admit that he had never laid eyes on this woman before……..she was not the same woman he had welcomed into his most secret facility four weeks previously……….and not the woman he had passionately kissed either…………a real career stopper that one……….his wife back in the states probably remained ignorant of his infidelity……..’

The commissioner adjusted his tie a little……..he was feeling rather warm now……
He felt a lot of sympathy on what was at stake for that unknown Agency station chief……..who was probably right now languishing in Greenland counting sea lions………..

Sanders chipped in……..
’So……… they suspected that their ruse had been blown and had therefore made a run for it………’

‘Not suspected Superintendent………they knew’.
‘That particular station Chief had told them of our suspicions’

‘That was unfortunate’
‘Yes it was Sir’

‘We waited of course…….at the Embassy, laying a trap that all was normal……..but no joy there…….even though the Americans were not pre warned they must have picked up on the fact that the apartments had been raided’

‘When they both did not report in and no contact could be made it was then that the Americans came back to us’

‘Must have been hell of a stink’ said Sanders………

‘We as usual tried to hush it up……….no obvious damage had been done………’

Her look said something else………..

‘And’ said Sir Russell……………
‘You think there had been some damage sustained……….’
He was keen on this reply……….did she know more than what she was letting on………..
She looked earnest………

‘Honestly Sir……...I think they had both found what they were looking for………they had four weeks as deep undercover………..it was that we were too slow in realizing what they had done’
‘What they needed I still do not know………but after they left Rome the flash signal traffic went dead…..…nearly offline.’

‘Go on…please’ he said………

‘So now it was a question on where they would surface and when………how long……..or had they gone to ground……..hiding out closer to where we had not assumed then to be’
‘Like around the corner of the Embassy rather than flee abroad……...that sort of double dealing subterfuge……’
‘They really had the advantage………….’

‘We had a description on how they had both looked……….but we knew that could change drastically and it did’…………..

‘We had people at the borders, airports, stations, bus stops, even nuns were stopped………..passenger liners, hotels and rooming services checked for new arrivals…….car rentals, boat rentals……..anything with wheels or wings…………we thought we had it all as tight as best that could be, after all……...Italy as one hell of a coastline………..we had informers out………..we waited anxiously…..….never too far from a telephone…….’

‘You obviously did not receive a call’ stated the commissioner without the slightest tone of criticism……..

‘Yes we did……..but not the type of phone call we wanted Sir’

The British waited for the next part in the tale…………

‘I remember the red phone ringing……..’
‘One morning……..four days now after they had both disappeared………..one of our detectives gets a rather distraught phone call from the Rome airport police authorities………’

‘Yes’ said the commissioner………..’I think I know what’s coming next’
‘Me too’ said Nicola Yates………..

‘It appeared that the early morning janitorial staff who where just coming on duty at the departure terminal…….well…….much to their fright and discomfort they had discovered two Alitalia airline stewardesses, minus their uniforms of course…….tied up and gagged in their mop room………..let’s just say they were both experiencing more discomfort than the cleaning ladies………’

‘What a surprise’ said Nicola Yates………
‘And naked too no doubt’

‘You are learning detective’ said Bossetti……….
‘Of course they were………no detail was too SMALL to miss for the likes of Kreuz and Kaganovich…….’
She gave the Englishwoman a cheeky grin………..

[jaegerhunde01]

Bitch…….thought Nicola……….

‘And you are right Detective……..the rest is rather straightforward and predictable’

‘The two stewardess’s scheduled flight had left the night before and the two imposters……..using the cabin crew’s identity……..and CLOTHES…….accessed security and then the aircraft…….’

‘To the flight crew they appeared to be just normal Italian girls……..fluent and natural…..…very pretty girls they said, real head turners…………good at their job too…………the flight only had two stewardess assigned to it.’

‘The gall of it……..the sheer pluck it would take……….nerves of steel those two’ said the commissioner……..

‘They are professionals Sir………..it’s what they do’
‘They had plenty of charm it seems……..with everyone they encountered’
‘Yes…….it did not help that Alitalia is a very large airline…….too big maybe……..they keep changing the crew rosters and these two were last minute replacements’

‘And someone replaced them all right’ hooted the commissioner…….guffawing at the same time

Superintendent Sanders saw the women squirm in silent agitation at the flippant and callous comment………especially DI Yates………
The other two unknown to him were just acting the part………..

‘Not something to be proud about Sir’ said Sanders
Trying to warn his chief that his usual ‘Club’ orientated humour had just backfired………seriously
Sanders wanted nothing to do with this new Human Resources fad that was just taking off……..it seemed to creep in everywhere he went lately……..

Yates squinted in abject disapproval……..after all, she was a woman working in a man’s world………and she had been doing rather well so far……..

So she kept her pretty mouth shut………like she was expected to do…….
The Commissioner rethought his last comment……..
In the club he would have got a rousing and hearty laugh at that……..but he was not in his gentleman’s club right now………
And he had guests………official foreign guests……….and woman guests at that……..
He was not normally one for apologies……..but in this case he felt obligated to…….
How times had changed he mused………..
In the old days there would have been no bloody women to offend in the first place……….

‘Quite right………how inconsiderate and callous of me…….making fun of those unfortunate ladies……..the whole affair must have been ghastly for them……..’
‘Another person’s misfortune was a subject not to be made light of’

He looked serious…….
‘My apologies ladies’
Bossetti……..after a suitable pause continued……….

‘The original cabin crew………and probably why they had been selected in the first place by our intrepid duo was that they also looked very similar in appearance and build……….’
‘They were a good fit……….’
‘But still………the flight crew had not worked with the real girls before……..so they were none the wiser…….’

‘And security’ asked Yates………..

‘Detective………have you ever been through Italian security at an airport’

Nicola shook her head……….

‘Then trust me……..all they saw were the smiles, the makeup, the comical and cartoonish pill box hats, great backsides in tight skirts and large bosoms in a tight jacket……..oh……and long legs of course……..’
‘Italian security is notorious at being distracted at air ports……….no need to ask me………you can also ask the PLO……..they would agree as well……….’

Sir Russell moved on quickly…….before his mind settled on tight stewardess uniforms………
‘The flight I assume was to this country’

Bossetti continued………...

‘Yes Sir……….Rome to London, Heathrow………two women entered your country using their names………..just a normal flight, no quick turnaround though………..they were shuttled to one of the hotels that catered for flight crews………’

‘Later……..after Rome had discovered the real stewardess, UK Transport Police raided the rooms………all they found were the used uniforms………the girl’s luggage, passports, identification documents……..all of it was there………their travel luggage, with their spare clothes had not been disturbed………’

‘The only items missing was the underwear that had been removed from the girls in Rome……….which suggests that as soon as they entered the rooms they had both divested themselves of the said uniforms and had got changed into clothes that they had not brought with them……..in short they had help……….from someone within the UK………’

‘Then……..I believe they just disappeared………’
‘And finally Sir, that is all I have………fortunately, I have not had reason to hear the names of Kreuz or Kaganovich since’
‘Until now……..five years later’…………….she added with a sigh………

She stopped talking………..and waited…….

The commissioner was rubbing his jaw……..staring at Captain Bossetti………….
She seemed not to now anymore…………..but did she
Her face look resigned and earnest enough………
Her eyes did not betray any lies……….

‘Well Captain……..we got them both eventually……….maybe you would be pleased with that’
‘I would Sir…….the world is a safer place without those two at large’

‘Yes………we did after two bloody months of hunting them down………’
‘And finding them was pure chance in a way’
He had lied there………but that was another story to be told at another time in a different place………
To completely different people……..

‘The chaos they had both caused’ he lamented………….

‘And the lives they must have changed and probably ruined forever’ said Yates………reminding those present that there was a human element to this briefing………
Certain women, mainly innocent of any wrong doing had paid a personal price in the pursuit of the ‘Great Game’……….

Nobody responded to that…………

And still he thought………………..
Not once had she mentioned KOBA………………
The file Barraclough had given him at the club the previous evening had stated that name……..
The man himself, over a tumbler of whiskey, both reclined on chesterfield chairs had informed him of the importance of KOBA……….
And the dire consequences of anyone except him who mentioned the word………..
It was not a person, he knew that much, but Barraclough had made it plain…….if Bossetti mentioned KOBA once………then he was to be informed and that he would take over……….

So far she had not…………….
And the file was safely back in the secure room, looked after by Miss Sale……..

Bossetti and her fine looking, yet so far docile assistant seemed to be the people they were after……….

He stared directly at her………..with one of his rather stern looks………..or so he thought

‘And if it was not for your excellent work and expert intuition Captain we would never have known that they were ever operating in this country’

She pretended to act very coy……..as if it was nothing
‘Yes……and again no Sir……..it was not just me alone’ she offered

‘Maybe Captain…..’ he paused, for quite a long time……..eventually he said it ‘but we would like you to use your rather unique insight and talents to find them again for us’

Bossetti…….or the woman pretending to be her was a great actress……..her talents were wasted, she would have been a great success on the stage……..and with her looks maybe on the big screen…..

Her eyes went wide……………her painted mouth opened wide……….displaying her white and even teeth….

[jaegerhunde01]

Her fine looking body became rigid……….her back went straight………her breasts expanded under her tunic and uniform shirt……….she felt the stolen bra she was wearing become tighter……..
Her hands left her lap……….her fingers extended…….

All of sudden……catching all of them of guard……..even her partner in crime………..
She shot up on her feet………and stood……….
The chair shot backwards……….
Her black stockinged legs now spread and wide…………her skirt tight on her thighs……….
Her heeled feet angled out………..

Her voice was now loud and incredulous…….
In that unique Mediterranean manner that females from that part of world tend to adopt when angered or agitated………her hands and arms were very expressive……..aimed directly towards the two senior Policemen……..

‘You mean she is out’ she hollered………

‘Steady on Captain’ warned Sanders…….….not sure what to do with an angry Italian woman………..English policewomen never acted like this……….not in front of him anyway

He noted that her fine face was now quite red………
Her eyes rather large………

Sir Russell just glared at her………he was not impressed with this all too typical female temper tantrum…….

Yates shifted her pert backside on her chair……..getting ready to intervene…….

‘No Sir……..you have no real understanding on what she really is’
‘She is a monster that looks like Aphrodite……..a Venus’
‘She could be anywhere……..anyone………’
‘She is a danger to any woman she passes on the street……….the other one is nearly the same………together they are lethal…………..’

She was in a rant now………….spittle was forming at the corners of her mouth………..

‘Bella Rossi was good, and cunning and that took months to catch her…….she was the most inventive, astute and scheming civilian I had ever crossed paths with……………..’

‘But Kreuz is in a different league……..how she does it baffles science………and Rossi was a lone wolf with no government assets behind her……….’

‘Sweet Jesus……….’ She looked at her partner posing as Marianna Taccari…….she pointed at her

‘You are lucky that me and Marianna here decided to travel together from Rome…….otherwise anyone of us could be Kreuz………near enough wearing our fucking skin…..…..right now’

‘Oh come on’ said Nicola……………..aghast that the Italian had spouted foul language in front of the commissioner..……….

‘No Yates’ retorted Bossetti………..

‘If Kreuz knew we were coming……...and on our own she would have got one of us’

‘She has heard of me………..knows my work and persistence in thwarting her………if only just once……..once was enough for the likes of her’

Nicola rolled her eyes……..

‘Do not laugh at me detective……….I am a marked woman………..when Kreuz was behind bars I could sleep a little………..but now………….’

She turned towards Taccari………

‘And prior to Rome I have never met the lovely Lieutenant here’

She stopped in mid speech………..
As if experiencing some sort of revelation………..

‘Yes………...I have never met her before’ she stared at the good looking lieutenant of State Police………
‘We only met two days before our departure……….at the Headquarters in Roma’

‘What’ said Taccari………..at first dumbstruck at the accusation being made………and then her facial expression turned to that of confused frustration………..

‘How do we know that you are in fact Marianna Taccari’ her voice was getting louder……….accusing……….a little venomous and nasty………

She pointed a red nailed finger accusingly………
‘We need to…………’

She was cut off harshly n mid speech……….

‘Sit down Captain Bossetti’ Sir Russell shouted………..standing himself now………he was tall with wide shoulders……….for a man of his age he still had a reasonably good physique

Bossetti looked at him……..her face also crimson
She opened her mouth to protest………..

Again the bellow………once learnt at Sandhurst a long time ago………

‘I said sit down CAPTAIN’

Slowly………… Bossetti sat back down………
Her skirt crumpling under her bottom………
She was shaking slightly………
She ran her handover her face…………
She did not look at them………she feigned some embarrassment at her supposed spontaneous outburst…………

They all waited while she composed herself………….

Finally Sir Russell spoke………sternly but not overly harsh this time……..
He had realised that he had shocked her into silence……….and being rather old fashioned he rather regretted shouting at a woman………regardless of rank……..

‘Erika Kreuz as not left this country……….we are quite sure of that……..therefore you and……..especially Lieutenant Taccari are quite safe………..I can assure you of that’

Taccari just gave a look……..like what was coming next…………

She spoke……..low this time………controlled………..being the professional she had been

‘Sorry Sir………I lost control there……….but to have her out………free to do as she pleases’
‘It was just the shock of knowing………..’

The Commissioner added……..

‘You tracked her once………..you can do it again’
‘She is only human…………she will make a mistake’ he added………..

Bossetti thought better of mouthing out aloud that she doubted the claim on Kreuz being human……..
She gave a disbelieving look………

‘May I remind you CAPTAIN?’

‘You were both sent here with the complete compliance and trust of your peers and your government……….at the highest level I may add……………you and your assistant have been seconded to us for the duration’

He looked at them both……….wanting some sort of agreement

Immediately Lieutenant Taccari nodded………
Bossetti………finally nodded her head

‘Then excellent……..you both now know the gravity and importance of the situation in hand’
‘And your part in that predicament’
The commissioner…………again
‘And yes……….you were correctly informed until six weeks ago……….Kreuz was secure, but shall we say due to a small lapse of judgement she is now out and about mingling and exchanging places with certain members of the female public……….and causing a little mayhem right now’

[jaegerhunde01]

‘But nothing we cannot handle’ he emphasised……..just for their benefit ‘with a little foresight and good planning’
He paused. His voice low with a little menace………
‘And to what ends…………well just leave that to us………..just find her’

And ‘Kaganovich’ enquired Taccari……..….

‘Glad you asked young lady’ smiled Sir Russell

Sanders replied on that point
‘She is still with us……..and very secure………again I can assure you of that………..assure you both’

Bossetti……….
‘You want us to help locate Kreuz……..’

He sighed………
‘Am I not making myself clear CAPTAIN?’

‘Not help………find………….before she causes more damage than she already as’

The commissioner took a final sip of his tea…….
He grimaced………..more cold now than tepid………..ruined
Never mind he thought………
A good indicator that the interview had gone on long enough…………

‘Detective Inspector Yates here is your direct liaison to me………….she will provide you with any direct support that you require’

‘She is at your service within a tight parameter and set limits…….those limits are set by me………..from me they will be conveyed directly to DI Yates via CS Sanders’………..

‘Okay so far………….you both understand yes’
He paused……..until he saw the nodding heads

‘Certain case files from this office will be authorized for your personal perusal via the scrutiny of Miss Sale………only DI Yates will issue and collect any files from the said Miss Sale…………..and they will be returned daily without fail…….Miss Sale as been instructed to inform me personally of the relevant files location…….daily’

‘DI Yates will now escort you both to the office space allocated, you will find it adequate for your needs………time is of the essence ladies…….action this day’ finally quoting Churchill……….

He looked sternly at them both………
Indicating that Bossetti’s outburst was enough for today…….

He stood up……….followed by Chief Superintendent Sanders……

All three uniformed women also rose……...placing the used tea cups back onto the trolley………..

‘Good hunting Ladies’ concluded Sir Russell…………….

The three uniformed females made to leave the office………careful with their chairs……….straightening their tight uniforms………..
Their pretty heads nodding to the two senior officers………
Bossetti with feigned humiliation and discomfort……..making out she was glad to leave the interview
Taccari with a look that apologized for the outburst by her senior officer……..
The Italians turned their backs and walked towards the door……followed by DI Yates……
Sir Russell liked what he saw there…………..
Tight backsides in equally tight skirts…………
Hosiery layered legs in heels………
The way they swayed their hips………
All three had cracking bodies………and faces to boot……..
It was a shame that they had to spoil it all by pretending to be police officers……..
Oh well he lamented………bloody modern world he supposed………he would never get used to it……..

Apart from Sir Russell’s silent lusting………..
The two men just stood there………watching the women leave………….both did not look very happy………

Inside the faux Bossetti was having a ball……….
Making out that she had been cowed into submission by the rank of this so called big man of Scotland Yard………
The rather still colonial orientated man in charge, a bit like that useful fool Blake back at the airport…….
They always had to be in control……….domineering all around them with their supposed wit and natural aura of superiority……..
It was always their right to command………..like days of old
Them and their bloody empire………..
Did they yet not realize after all these years that they had very little to command………
It was their time now…………...her people living within the Socialist utopia and those damned Yankees in their capitalist abomination………

She mocked their ignorance that they were not even dealing with the women they thought they were……..
They were just dealing with their uniforms………..
She had been correct in saying that Kreuz was good………but so were they………..
Then what he had said………’I can assure you both’
Idiot………

She briefly remembered the real Bossetti just the day before……………
Being hefted along by those Asians like a slab of prime beef……………totally naked.......her bare meaty tits flopping from side to side and arse bouncing along the floor………..
The bush between her legs exposed to all to see………..
Tightly tape gagged and bound as she was stuffed like a rag doll into a laundry cart…….
So much for the real Clio Bossetti being a master detective……………seeing all before her as others did not….
So much for her vaunted insight……….
Because she never saw that coming………..
She had been right to say that Kreuz would have got one of them………
But it had not been Kreuz………….
It had been her and her partner………and they had got them both………
There she was, her and her partner………wearing their uniforms, their lingerie and nylons……..parading around the commissioner’s office in them…….

And they were none the wiser either………the arrogant fools

And this idiot Russell wanted them to do his bidding……………
Little did they realize that the fox was already within the chicken coup………
Russell and his clowns were there to assist them…….they did not just know it yet……..

The fake Italian super detective took a little peak at Nicola Yates as the Englishwoman came up alongside……..
She made way for Yates to pass her……….receiving a good view of her from behind in return……..
Noting the curve of her bust as she glided past………
A whiff of perfume assaulted her nostrils………she breathed it in………..
She reached for the door handle……..lowering her head…..
At the same time also noting the Englishwoman’s waist and hips…….
The black nylon over her legs…………
She heard the swish of that same nylon under her skirt………..suggesting friction on satin or silk…….
Upon leaving she gave her a smile that suggested an apology of sorts……..
In reality she had decided one important fact……….
That you are about my size………
She closed the door to the commissioner’s office…………

The two men finally watched the ladies leave……….
The door had clicked behind them all……………
Finally they were alone……….

Sir Russell sat back down into his chair………..
Those rather annoying women were now in the safe hands of Miss Sale…….
Thank the heavens……….
Sanders still stood…………

‘What do you think Rupert………up to the job’ he grimaced……..his eyes narrowing
He really did have a resemblance to the errant Lord Lucan……..
With his moustache and slicked back hair………..

‘She did fine up to a certain point……..calm, professional, articulate……….came over a little strong in detail at times I thought…………otherwise perfect’ replied Sanders…….

‘Yes……....until I mentioned Kreuz……..she became a little unglued then……...a little hysterical’
‘As if the mere mention of that name petrified her……..I was not expecting that’
He rubbed his jaw……..
‘It was nice to see that Yates was unfazed………..’ he smiled at that……….and the memory of her shapely legs……..and bulging breasts too………

[jaegerhunde01]

Sanders replied………
‘Fair play Sir………..Yates does not have the full facts on what Kreuz and Kaganovich get up too’

‘Ignorance is bliss sometimes Sanders’

‘Bossetti does Sir’
He continued………..
‘Kreuz as a fierce reputation Sir………she and Kaganovich are enough to unsettle any woman……….those in the know of course’

‘Maybe……..but I want Yates to keep an eye on Captain Bossetti……….the other one, the assistant seems a steady enough type’
A nice bint also………..younger, more juicy in those areas he liked to squeeze……..
‘I do not want her going off the rails………or acting independently either……..make sure Yates and her team stick close to her’

‘Yes Sir’ stated Sanders………….

‘To be honest……..I do not expect much from those two anyway’

‘Really Sir……why’

‘I think in the end it will be down to Baraclough and his people to get a result on this……….you can’t trust foreigners Rupert……..after all………they caused all this in the first place’

‘Of course Sir……..would there be anything else………’

‘Just keep me informed Rupert………whatever the developments………..however small’
