CHAPTER 7

 THE SYDICATE

In a rundown office in down town Manila, Charlie King or P as he was known to close friends associates was sat at his desk which was mahogany with a brown leather top on the phone, he was a portly man of some 5ft 10in  tall, weighed 20 stone and was balding and grey and was of Asian extraction, he wore  cream Giorgio Armani suits with a white shirt and brown or sometimes black leather shoes and he was a professional gambler.

“So then how much is it going to cost us to get the American on board” Charlie King asked the person on the other end of the phone.

“WHAT $250,000 US and all he has to do is be sacked three times in the game, sounds good to me sign him up” replied Charlie King chuckling under his breath.

“Yes well the money will be worth paying as we could stand to make anywhere between $5,000,000 US and $10,000,000 US well worth it, I shall put the bet on after this call and your share will be $300,000 US”  Charlie King replied with some joy in his voice at the killing he would make on this bet alone.

“Right then what about this Australian Cricketer you had in mind, how much is he going to cost to get on board” Asked Charlie King with some nervousness in his voice at what the amount could be.

“HOW MUCH $500,000 Australian why that much because he is the captain, I see I’ll have a think about that one but what do we get for his services then” Charlie King replied.

“What in the next One day international we get two no-balls, a wide between the tenth and eighteenth over and he will get himself out for 65 and get out thrown in for good measure just to show he is serious about it, wait a moment let’s see what the odds are on that, Jesus they are giving me odd of 10/1 for the lot, right get him on board and I will put $1,500,000 US on it and we will get a cool $15,000,000 US well worth paying the $500,000 Australian and tell him if it pays off we will give him a bonus of another $150,000 Australian just to show we mean business to” Replied Charlie King Joyfully at the prospect of cleaning up with just one bet.

“Right then how are we doing with our British contingent has Curtis been chasing up those two English cricketers he was talking about, I think it was the captain and wicketkeeper he was trying to get on board” replied Charlie King with a bit of trepidation in his voice.

“Listen I don’t care how much it costs just give Curtis the extra £150,000 if he needs it, it will be worth it just to get them on board and has he got Cresandra on the case as well he has good she should do the business” replied Charlie King with a chuckle.

Cresandra was Cresandra Drake a 6ft tall slim Brunette with blue eyes who was a bit of a girl and would sleep with targets for Charlie King and Curtis James-Rowe and then Black mail them into accepting the money they had been offered to fix sports fixtures and one Jockey even tried to take his own life after one such encounter.

 

“So Curtis’s Missus is finally going to divorce him not before time if you ask me and he can afford it he has plenty of money after the bets we have made over the years, WHAT his mother in-law knows about the match we got James Radford to fix that match 17 years ago for us, well my friend someone needs to have a word with her and tell her what happens to people who mix with us we don‘t want her to be going to the police with this it could break us, just a warning by the way and that’s all, no heavy stuff unless we have to and tell Curtis to make the divorce last as long as he can,” replied Charlie King with some anger in his voice.

“Right if that is it I have a baseball match to watch got a lot of money riding on it and if our man does the business we could make $2,000,000 US, so goodnight speak to you when you have got those two cricketers on board” replied Charlie King.

He then put the telephone down and walks over to his drinks cabinet poured himself a whisky and ginger and sat at on his sofa and started to watch the baseball game on his 42inch plasma TV mounted on the wall.

 

 

He then had a knock at the door, Charlie King got up and answered the door and it was his silent partner Anthony Collins, who had come to watch the game with Charlie King and they both settled down and had a good laugh while watching the baseball game.

“Well Tony that was a profitable game for us a cool $2,000,000 US” Charlie King looked and said to Anthony Collins laughing.

“Is that right well then I will drink to that Sainte Mhath as they say in Scotland” replied Anthony Collins and held up his whisky and ginger.

“Yes Sainte Mhath Tony” replied Charlie King also holding up his glass.

Over in the UK Curtis James-Rowe was in his smart semi-detached and was on the telephone.

“Hello” Curtis James-Rowe here

“Hello Curtis, its Georgia here and have you thought about the offer I made you the other day it will be worth your while”

“No not yet I have got things on but I will think about it soon” replied Curtis with some anger in his voice.

“listen to me Curtis James-Rowe unless you want me to tell everybody about your underhand dealings the last eighteen years you had better think about it fast I am going to give you another seventy two hours and then the beans start getting spilled you got me” replied Georgia with a voice of anger and determination.

“Listen Georgia I have told you I will think about it but don’t go threatening me or you will be the one sorry I have people who you do not want to muck around with as they are nasty pieces of work” replied Curtis with anger in his voice.

“You really scare me Curtis is that all you can do is make Idol threats, you make me laugh sometimes how does it feel to threaten a woman and to beat them up very macho that isn’t it Curtis, how does it feel to be a coward” replied Georgia with some anger and laughter in her voice.

 

“Georgia you tell me what it is like to lie to your family about what your precise grandson’s father did, you tell me how does it feel and I will tell you what it was like to slam my fist in your daughters face and boy did it feel good and when I slapped her while we were having sex, YES GEORGIE IT FELT GOOD AND IT WILL FEEL FUCKING GOOD WHEN YOU ARE SORTED OUT BY THE FRIENDS I HAVE SO GO AND TAKE YOUR OFFER AND STICK IT UP YOUR REAR END YOU BITCH” Curtis replied with more anger than normal in his voice and slammed down the telephone.

Georgia just sat down in the chair by the telephone and started to cry and fearing for her life thinking to herself what had she done.

“Ring, Ring”

The telephone rang in Charlie King’s office; he walked over to his desk and answered the telephone.

“Hello Charlie King here, Hello Cresandra how are things going with the two English players” Charlie King asked with anticipation to hear what method of persuasion Cresandra had used this time.

“Charlie they are on side mate I am meeting them again tonight so can you transfer the money for me to pay the £200,000 each was agreed but they want the money tonight” replied Cresandra in her sexy husky seductive voice.

“Ok but what else are they going to do for us apart from what we agreed and how the hell did you get them to agree so quick” asked Charlie King

“They have said they will both get out for a duck in the second one day international in India and go for thirty runs each with their bowling” replied Cresandra

“Well if they deliver give them another £75,000 each, but How did you get them to agree did you sleep with them” Charlie King replied

“Charlie I slept with both of them last night at the same time and it was the best sex I have ever had and I have told them if they said yes they could do me every week from now on I have set up a session with them tonight and boy am I going to enjoy it” replied Cresandra.

“You shock me Cresandra you really are a dirty little minx, a threesome you really are a tart my girl how many is that you have slept with” replied Charlie King with a chuckle and a laugh

“One hundred and two including you and I do not hear you complaining, you make money out of me and the clients I give you, basically I prostitute myself for you and for what” Cresandra replied with a bit of anger in her voice.

 

“Cresandra you are a cheeky bitch you made a lot of money out of me over the years, so don’t you start on that because if you do I will get very angry and you don’t mind you get to shag as much as you want don’t you so don’t start or cross me ok slag, just get the deal done and no crap OK” replied Charlie King.

He then put the telephone down and turned to Anthony Collins and said.

“That bloody step-sister of yours she sure is a pest, but bloody good at getting the deals done” laughing

“Why what has she done now, please do tell me” asked Anthony Collins laughing and chuckling

 

“She has only got Terry Franklin and David Miller on side by sleeping with them both of them at the same time, must say she does not muck around and gets the deals done but she sure does moan a lot about things” replied Charlie King to the question asked of him by Anthony Collins.

“Ring, Ring”

“HELLO CHARLIE KING” he said in a very angry voice.

“Hi Charlie its Curtis here and I have one big problem that needs sorting” replied Curtis James-Rowe angrily.

“Calm down and tell me what is going on” asked Charlie King.

“Well it is Georgia Thompson she wants me to give Chelsea a quick divorce and she also wants me to give her the house, car, kids and £150,000 in cash or” replied Curtis

“Or what come on man calm down and tell me or what” asked Charlie King with anger and so determination in his voice.

“OR SHE WILL TELL THE POLICE THE NAMES OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE SYNDICATE, THE BOSS AND ALL” replied Curtis

“Will she indeed, hum so what do you want me to do about it then Curtis” replied Charlie King with some anticipation for the answer.

“Any chance you could get her whacked for me” replied Curtis.

“No but I will get the frighteners on her and give her a warning, get some people just to give her a nudge in the right direction” replied Charlie King.

“If you’re sure it will do the trick, you are the man in charge just that it is doing my head in that’s all” replied Curtis

“Anyway what you moaning about you got the money and you will be rid of that bitch once and for all or is it the fact you like beating the bitch up” replied Charlie King

“You are out of order P out of order” replied Curtis.

Charlie King then put the telephone down and turned to Anthony Collins and said.

“Tony I need you to do me a big favor, a big favor indeed”

“What is that P, what do you want me to do” replied Anthony Collins with some shock in his voice.

“I want you to put the frighteners on Georgia Thompson” replied Charlie King looking straight into the face of Anthony Collins

“Why?” asked Anthony Collins

“Because she knows who the boss is the man behind this whole operation and the man who pays our wages Tony” replied Charlie King.

“YOU WHAT SHE KNOWS WHO HE IS” replied Anthony Collins with anger.

“Yes she does and she has done since James Radford died” replied Charlie King

“But how does she know” asked Anthony King

“I believe James Radford knew who he was all along and now she is using what she knows to get Curtis to get a divorce from her daughter” replied Charlie King

“Right Charlie well I will get Handy Andy Mann onto the case” replied Anthony Collins

“Yes let’s do that Tony but it is only a warning nothing to heavy and no violence” replied Charlie King.

 

“But P she knows who the boss is, let’s take her out” replied Anthony Collins.

“No Tony just a warning that is all OK” replied Charlie King

“OK but just for the record I think you are wrong” replied Anthony King

“RECORDED AND POINT TAKEN NOW JUST DO IT OK” replied Charlie King with some anger at his authority being questioned.

“OK will be flying back to the UK tomorrow and I will get Handy on to it straight away” replied Anthony Collins looking at Charlie King.

“Good and make sure you do as I say and no violence, just a quite word in the ear a warning so to say” replied Charlie King

In a hotel in central Cardiff the was a knock at the door of room 126 and an olive silky skinned woman with blue come to bed eyes with brunette colored hair wearing and red silky night dress answered the door, it was Cresandra Drake at the door was Terry Franklin and David Miller, Cresandra said to them.

“Hello boys I see you got my message” in her sexy husky seductive voice.

“We sure did Babe” replied Terry Franklin in his broad Yorkshire accent.

“Well come on in then” Cresandra said.

With that both Terry Franklin and David Miller entered the room and made their way to the sofa.

“Right then boy first things, first what would you like to drink and then we will get down to business” asked Cresandra.

“A gin and Tonic for me and a Bacardi and Lime for Terry thanks” replied David Miller in his posh Eatonian accent.

Cresandra poured the drinks and walked over to Terry and David to give them there drinks.

She bent down to give them there drinks when her lushes’ ample firm breast fell out in all their glory in front of the boys.

“Oops sorry about that boys” replied Cresandra.

“Right then boys I have been given the nod to give you £200,000 each and if you can show the boss what you can do you will get an extra £75,000 as a bonus” replied Cresandra

“Do we get that before or after having sex with you” asked Terry Franklin laughing.

“Hay cheeky none of that talk here please” Cresandra said laughing.

“well you did say we could have sex with you at least once a week or are you going back on that and if you are you don’t have a deal” replied Terry Franklin.

“Terry babe I don’t go back on my deals so don’t worry about that why do you think you are here tonight to baby sit I don’t think so you are here to shag me so don’t even ask questions like that” replied Cresandra with anger in her voice.

“Ok only asking that’s all” replied Terry Franklin with some shock in his voice.

“Well let’s get business out of the way first and then we will get down to you two satisfying my desires and keeping me happy” replied Cresandra as she took a sip of her win seductively and blowing a kiss at Terry and David.

“Well OK if you insist on doing things that way and boy will it be satisfying for you Babe, you had a taster this afternoon” replied Terry Franklin winking at Cresandra and blowing her a kiss back.

“Now, Now Terry less of the smut until we get down to sex” replied Cresandra and handed Terry Franklin and David Miller a brown envelope.

 

“What is this for” replied David Miller.

“Yes what is this for” replied Terry Franklin.

“Open them up and you will find out won’t you” replied Cresandra.

Terry Franklin and David Miller then opened their envelopes and inside each one was a wad of used £50 notes to the total of £10,000 each, both Terry and David’s eyes widened at the sight of the money they had in their hands.

“Bloody hell what is this for, we have not done anything yet” they both replied with shock in their voices.

“It is your retainer it is what I have been told to give you from the top boss, don’t ask me his name as I don’t know it, the money was sent to me about an hour ago by courier and a note saying to give it to you 2” replied Cresandra in her low husky seductive voice.

“But what is it for” they both asked again.

“Look let’s just call it a gift for signing up to help the syndicate, look boys just take the money and ask no more questions, I do believe that both your wives are pregnant us it for that” replied Cresandra quite candidly.

“How do you know about our Wives and what else do you know about us two” asked David Miller.

“Boy I know quite a lot about both of you and your wives and where you live it is my job to know so whatever you do boys do not cross me, ah  and by the way that sex session this afternoon and this meeting know is being recorded so no going to the police or it will be made public and what will your wives think of you two then, now that is sorted which one of you is first I am no getting really horny and randy” replied Cresandra with her low husky sexy seductive dulcet tones.

“You what, you bitch” replied Terry Franklin.

“Yes you dirty little bitch” replied David Miller.

“Well guys you don’t think I would do all this and not keep a bit of insurance for myself do you, all the guys and girls I have slept with I have recorded” replied Cresandra sipping her drink seductively and staring straight at the guys and laughing.

“You truly are a card, a right bitch and you just do not give a damn do you, we both have wives who are pregnant and you would do that you are joking aren’t you” replied David Miller with some arrogance.

“Do you want to find out or do you want to have me tonight it is your choice, but make the right one or how should I put this you will find out if I am really for real or just a fake so just accept the money and get on with giving me a good time or leave it and go and risk your wives finding out, the money is from the top man himself not from P so I would accept it if I were you” replied Cresandra with a sexy walk towards Terry and David running her finger along their faces seductively.

“Well if you put it that way babe it is a risk worth taking and as long as you keep to your end of the bargain I can’t see no harm what say you Dave” replied Terry Franklin.

“I guess so Terrance my boy let’s give her the best night of her life” replied David Miller.

 

Cresandra looked at them both gave a seductive smile and said to them both “Glad you have come around to my way of thinking, you keep this up and your wives will be spared the public humiliation of me releasing the tapes to the press, so boys you have made the right choice and I am sure you will give me the time of my life, just like you did earlier this afternoon so come on let’s not waste any time” replied Cresandra seductively

With that all three walked to the bed with Terry and David undressing on their e way to it and Cresandra removing her silky red night dress to reveal her sexy Olive colored silky skinned slim body.  With Terry Franklin and David Miller revealing their muscular toned bodies and both guys with six packs to die for, they spent the rest of the night taking it in turns to satisfy their seductress and left after some four hours taking the envelopes with the money in.

In a smart office the centre of London, a telephone rang and a man answered it in a warm plush deep English accent.

“Hi is that The Boss” was said at the other end of the telephone in a husky voice it was Cresandra Drake sat in her hotel room with a towel wrapped around her.

“Yes it is” The Boss replied in his deep voice.

“Hi I have done the deal with the two English one’s Terry Franklin and David Miller, so when do I get my part of the deal” replied Cresandra.

“It will be in the bank for you tomorrow and did you tape the whole thing and by the way Tony has asked if you will do him a favor” replied The Boss.

“What would that be” asked Cresandra with some surprise.

“We need you to have a quite word with Georgia Thompson, get Handy on to it straight away and I do not want her hurt ok” replied The Boss.

“But why, she is no threat to us she is also James Radford boy’s grandmother” asked Cresandra.

“She knows who I am and don’t you think I know who she is I see her most days, I only want the frighteners put on her that’s all no heavy stuff” replied The Boss.

“But why Handy and not me” replied Cresandra

“Because she knows of you and Handy has very good persuasive skills in situations like this and I am sure he will get the job done” replied The Boss.

“Ok I’ll phone him after this call, but you know he will want paying and he does not come cheap” replied Cresandra.

“Tell him The Boss said he is to do it and I will not pay any more than £1500” replied The Boss.

“Ok whatever you say you are The Boss the man behind this whole operation” replied Cresandra sarcastically.

 

“Listen you whore don’t get funny with me or you will be ending up behind bars remember I know about that footballer you set up for rape, so pipe down my girl” replied The Boss with some anger in his voice.

“OK, OK I have got the message and you are one hard tough cookie and you get what you want all the time” replied Cresandra in a low sheepish voice.
