Chapter Tw
Part Two
The men disappeared into the cabin area and the two girls got close to the yacht and hopped up on to the left of it and slowly crept inside to see if anyone was around.
They walked into the very large cabin area and called out softly to see if anyone rndednded.
Instead of a response a very large, but old man came into the room from the stairs below, "Hey, what are you two doing on my ship?"
"Didn't you send for us?" Faith said with a soft sexy voice. She walked up to the man who was probably in his 60's and took his hand and led him to a couch on the west side of the yacht and sat him down gently and walked back over to Helena and gave her a very long kiss.
The man's eye's lit up like he'd just won the lottery and Faith looked back at him and smiled, "So, I was sure this was the right yacht. We are all paid for. Well, to dance for you that is. But, if we made a mistake I guess my friend and I will get out of your way."
The man hopped to his feet like he was 18 again, "WAIT!. No, you are at the right place. I'm sorry, I forgot about you coming. Please, you should continue. Excuse my forgetfulness, it's one of the side effects of getting old you know."
Helena was still recovering from the kiss but had no time to react as Faith grabbed her around her waist and pulled her close and started dancing with her slowly and very provocatively.
Faith was smiling widel Hel Helena who had relaxed enough to smile back and the two girls continued to hold each other close and move their sexy young bodies in front of the very pleased old
They danced like this for a couple minutes when the old man began to get impatient, "Hey, you two are gorgeous and all, but I didn't pay to watch you dance with your clothes on. Come on now, enough teasing, let's get to the good stuff."
Faith and Helena looked at each other and pondered their options but knew they had very little choice if they wanted to stay aboard this yacht.
Both girls smiled at the old man and then Helena put her hands on Faith's jacket and pulled it off and Faith did the same with Helena's coat.
The man was waiting for more and he didn't have to wait for long either.
Helena then slid off Faith's tight top and then helped her off with her jeans then turned around and let Faith remove her top and pants and the two of them were left standing in their underwear in front of the old, bu, but neither girl seemed to mind one bit.
They began dancing slowly together, hands resting on each other's lower back, just above their asses.
Faith saw the man become restless again so she leaned in and kissed Helena once more, which did exactly what she thought it would, make the old guy lean back and relax a little longer.
Helena responded to the kiss this time and was kissing Faith back very hard, her hands moving up the front of her and over her full breasts, cupping them both in her soft hands.
The kiss continued to grow in passion as Helena slid Faith's bra down below her breasts, letting her fingers rub her nipples until each one was oh so very hard.
As Helena broke the kiss she looked deep into Faith's expressive eyes and felt something so real, so intense she couldn't explain it, but what she did know from the look she was getting was that Faith was telling her to continue ahat'hat's just what she did.
Faith watched as Helena slid down her bra down and offered her breasts to her and Faith smiled and leaned in and licked her way around each of Helena's perky nipples then covered one with her warm mouth and sucked it for the longest time.
Helena let out a soft sigh as Faith moved to her other nipple and licked and sucked it deep into her mouth. She them moved back up and began kissing Helena again, this time the kiss was so hot and passionate they both were lost in the moment and that's when Helena heard Barbara's voice calling to her.
"Helena, are you there? I had no luck with finding you any kind of boat. Seems everything is tied up this time of year. Your going to have to improvise. Do you have any idea's?"
Helena slid her bra back over her breasts and Faith did the same and they took a step back from each other as Helena composed herself enough to respond, "Well, we might have one possibility here, but I think were going to have to negotiate a little but I think we might have ourselves a yacht to borrow."
"That's great. Keep in touch. I've been working on the blueprints to that warehouse district you mentioned and should have something within the hour."
"Good work Barbara. I'll talk to you soon." Helena was looking right at Faith as the old man got up from the couch.
"Hey, what's going on heres ths that it? If you want more money to finish what you started you got it. Don't stop now."
Helena walked slowly up to the old man and sat him back on the couch and put her foot up between his legs and looked down at him with a very unhappy look on her face, "Okay, you had your show. But, were in a hurry. We need this yacht. So what's it gonna take for you to be so kind to lend it to us for awhile?"
The old man gave Helena a sly grin, "You finish that show there and you can keep the damn yacht."
Helena smirked at his suggestion and liked the idea of finishing things off with Faith, but didn't want it to be in front of this old guy, "Maybe another time, but again, were in a hurry, so if you don't need money, can't ya just do us girls a favor please?"
"Oh fine. You seem like nice girls so I'll let you borrow it. Here's the keys. Just put it back where you found it and set the keys in the lifeboat on deck. There's a small compartment just up and inside it, you can't miss it. You two have fun now."
Helena put her foot down on the ground again and smiled at the old man and both her and Faith helped him up the stairs and off the yacht and waved to him as he walked slowly down the pier.
They looked out to see the other yacht had pullet but but was only a couple hundred yards in front of them so they went up on deck and put the keys in the ignition and heard the engine turn on and Faith pulled the lever forward and soon they were off into the ocean chasing some guy they barely knew.
It was still light out so it was easy to follow the other yacht from very far away and with Faith controlling the yacht Helena sat down behind her and put her feet up on a table and thought about what she just did with Faith down below just minutes earlier.
The smile on her face showed how much she enjoyed it, but another part of her wondered how she could do something like that so easily and enjoy it as much as she did.
Helena's eyes looked up and focused on Faith's very tight jeans and how shapely and firm here ass looked in them and once again her mind wandered to what might have happened had Barbara not called and all's she could come up with was that she would have done anything with Faith at that moment and still felt the same way even now.
Faith turned around and smiled at Helena, "So, what are you thinking about?"
Helena looked up at Faith and was hoping she couldn't read minds, "Oh nothing. Just was thinking about where this guy is going and how he's connected to everything."
ee. ee. Yep, that is a mystery." Faith said while shaking her head up and down, then looking back at Helena, "I swear you were thinking of something alot more enjoyable by the look on your face though."
Helena gave Faith a shy smile then stood up and walked over beside her and stared out at the clear blue sky and the vast ocean they were traveling in, then leaned back against the front of the cabin and finally looked at Faith again, "Well, I guess I was thinking of something good. You are very perceptive."
"Did you want to tell me what that was or is it a secret?"
"I suppose it's no secret really. Just wondering what took place down below in front of that old guy." Helena took a step towards Faith and leaned on the steering wheel, " Just how far were you willing to go there to get this yacht?"
Faith leaned down and got right up so she was just inches from Helena's pretty face, "W as as far as I had to. What about you?"
"Oh, all the way. Always. I never do anything half way. I love to finish what I start." Helena was grinning the whole time and couldn't take her eyes off Faith.
"I like that alot. I just bet you are very good at finishing things off to." Faith slid the yacht into auto pilot and took Helena's hand and pulled her close, "I know were working here and sure can't take our eyes off this other yacht here, but I do want to tell you I'm even more anxious to get you on a dance floor with me. I feel like we've really connected here and I just hope we get some time to get know each other once this is all over."
Helena was running her hand through Faith's thick dark hair as she talked, "Well, I think that's very possible. Actually, I know it is. The sooner we catch this guy and solve this little problem the sooner we can get back to something much more fun."
Faith couldn't hbut but lean in and kiss Helena's soft lips and Helena was very happy to respond.
The kisses were short and sweet and they kept looking out at the yacht in between each kiss and one time they looked up they noticed the yacht had stopped and as soon as Faith saw this she turned the wheel hard to the right which sent an unsuspecting Helena flying to the gro
Faith got the yacht turned around and was hoping they didn't get too close to the other yacht that they saw them. She got the yacht back on course and then set it on idle and went to look at Helena.
Helena had a minor cut on her arm but other than that was okay.
Faith saw the blood and instantly felt horrible about what she'd done, "God, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't even thinking. I just reacted."
Helena grabbed some Kleenex from a shelf and wiped away the blood, then looked up at Faith's very concerned face, "Relax. Really. I'm fine. It's nothing but a scratch and you did the right thing. I'm just gonna go down below and clean this out."
Faith helped Helena up and watched her go below and then went back to watching the other yacht while still feeling bad about what happened.
As she stood there staring at the yacht she noticed another smaller boat coming towards it.
It looked like a very small fishing boat, with some fishing nets and cables scattered about.
The small boat pulled up along the side of the yacht and a man climbed up the side of the yacht carrying a large briefcase.
Once aboard the yacht he was met by what looked to be Stefan who handed the man another smaller briefcase and the man climbed backn ton to his boat and took off again.
Helena came back up and saw the yacht begin to move again and Faith informed her of what just took place and they had to choose who to follow.
Faith looked at both options then back at Helena, "I say we take the small boat. I think Stefan is just going to go back to the dock and to the warehouse so I don't think we need to worry about him for now. But, that other guy is alone and might just be willing to talk to us about what he just traded to Stefan."
"I can't argue with that. Le't's go then." Helena agreed and watched Faith put the yacht in motion again and once at full speed they caught up to the smaller boat in a matter of minutes.
As they pulled up beside it Helena looked down at the man and gave him a very big smile, "Hey there. We were hoping to talk to you for a minute. You wouldn't mind coming up and talking with us two girls would ya?"
The man was nervous for sure, but he was also very curious about what two sexy women wanted, so he agreed and climbed up on the yacht.
He was mid 30's, balding and hardly seemed like the criminal type.
"So what can I do for you ladies?" he asked, trying to be as charming as possible.
Faith walked up and stood beside him, "Well, we were just wondering what you had in that briefcase over there." she pointed towards it as his face went white.
Helena put her hand on the man's to try and calm him down, "Take it easy. Were not here to rob you or anything like that. We just want some information."
"Listen, I don't know who you are but you do not want to mess around with Stefan Kubek. He's a killer. I can't tell you anything. He'd kill me before I got back home." the man added, clearly terrified of this man.
"He's not going to know anything about this. We can find out what's in your briefcase, but we suspect it's just cash. What we want to know is what you gave him. Now, we can do this the easy way or the not so fun way for you. Take your pick." Faith grabbed the man by the arm and twisted just enough to show him her slayer strength.
"Okay, okay. No need to break any bones here. I hope my death is worth this to you." he said sarcastically, "I gave him a package. In it were a number of things. All with one purpose. Computer software that will give him and his boss a way to bypass the security in most every bank in the world. To literally walk in and remove the money electronically. Deposit it in some offshore accounts and leave without a trace."
Faith's eyes were rolling as the man told his story, "Come on. That isn't possible. There are way too many backups for any major financial institution to be hacked. I was in prison and met alot of would be bank robbers and computer hackers and they all failed with the same basic idea. What makes you so sure this will work?"
"Because I designed it to work. I tested it myself. I can't get into the details because it's impossible to explain how this program works, but it's a muftietedeted program that works to not only bypass security protocols, but then rewrite them on the spot so they don't even know they've been hacked. It's state of the art and it is worth the price."
"If this is true it could destroy more than just Gotham City's economy. It could cripple the world's economy." Helena looked at Faith and saw the same concern on her face as she had and they knew they had to take this very seriously.
"Listen up. Here's the number of an associate of mine." Helena handed him Barbara's card, "If your telling the truth and if your willing to testify against Stefan once we get hi tri trial, then we might be able to set you up in a witness protection program. So is it a deal? Or do you want to take your chances on your own?"
"Fine. I'll do it. But this better be good. Because Kubek is reless ess when he feels threatened. Worse than that, his boss is even worse. If you get him in custody and have a decent case against him then fine, I'll help. Until then I'm gonna hope he doesn't find out about this." the man climbed back down and got in his boat and took off.
Helena looked at Faith and she knew what to do and turned the yacht around and headed back to shore.
It was a long trip but they finally made it and as they expected The Meridian was in the same spot as before. Faith pulled the yacht up beside it and Helena put the keys in the compartment like they were told and they took off running back to the car.
Once inside they headed back to the warehouse. They parked across the street again and were there less than 5 minutes when Barbara contacted Helena, "I've got the blue prints to that whole complex. I'm sending them to you online and you can check them out before you take your next step."
Helena was reag fog for her laptop as she replied, "Great work Barbara." Helena Listen, we may have found the ultimate target of these criminals. We talked to a man who delivered a package to Stefan and he told us it was software designed to bypass most any security system in the world."
"My first reaction is no beo believe this to. But, I've been around computers for too long to know that anything is possible. There are people who spend all their lives creating programs for all types of situations like this so until we know otherwise we better take this seriously."
Faith was watching the warehouse as Helenaled led up the blueprints on the laptop and noticed a limousine pull up to the gate. She made a note of the license plate number and found a pen in the glove compartment and wrote it on her hand and held it out for Helena to see and then pointed towards the car.
Helena looked and saw the car then turned back and smiled at Faith for pointing it our for her then went back to talking to Barbara, "I need you to check out this license plate number for me. This car just pulled into the warehouse complex and we might as well check it out."
"Gotcha. You be careful if you go into that place. Both of you. I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Helena turned her attention to the blueprints on her laptop and she was happy Barbara had pointed out some of the blind spots for some of the surveillance camera's and had even given her the security codes to some of the doors, but it was still too hard to look at on such a small screen so Helena suggested they go back to the diner again because she remembered they had a little computer corner where she could hook up her laptop and print these out so they could study them more thoroughly.
Faith nodded agreement and then took off for the diner.
Once inside they had to wait for a couple teenagers to leave before they could use the computer, but soon Helena had everything hooked up and had paid the woman to use the printer and were waiting patiently for the blueprints to print out.
It was about 10 minutes before they were back in the car studying the layout of the warehouse complex much more thoroughly.
They made a decision about how to get into the complex but decided to wait a couple hours until it was dark to go through with it.
Helena put the laptop in the back seat and looked over at Faith, "So, we've got a couple hours to kill. Any idea's on how we should do that?"
"I can think of a few things. Just not sure a couple hours is long enough for what I have in mind." Faith gave Helena a sexy smile to along with her fairly obvious innuendo, but then sat back in her chair and looked out the window, "But, we probably should spend our time working out the details of what were going to do once we get inside this place."
"I like your first idea alot more, but your right, we should talk about this a bit more. I'm not used to working with anyone so this will be kind of knew for me." Helena grabbed the blueprints again and pointed to a room on the west side, "This seems to be the living quarters so that's likely where Kubek is. Now, if were lucky he will have the briefcase with him and we can grab it get out of there."
Faith was looking at the room when she heard a noise across the street.
Both girls looked up as a very large semi was being waved into the complex. It was pulling two large trailers and drove straight ahead u it it came to a loading ramp and came to a stop.
The gate was closed behind it and they were so far away from the action they couldn't see a thing that was going on.
That changed in a hurry as they got out of the car and walked across the street and went around the side of the complex and climbed up on a ledge and could see some men unloading one of the trailers.
They were removing large crates. Large enough that it took 4 equally large men to carry each one back inside the warehouse.
There must have been about 20 of these crates inside each trailer, but eventually they had them both unloaded and the semi was back on the road again.
Helena waited for the place became quiet as the men closed the warehouse door and went inside. She then jumped up and over the fence and looked back at Faith and waved her over.
Faith took a couple steps back on the ledge and made the huge jump over the tall fence and landed in front of Helena almoalmost bowled her over as she fell forward.
The two girls had a look around and made their way towards the living quarters. They were also very aware of the security camera's and made sure to stay out of the way of them as best they could.
Helena tried to open the door in front of her but of course it was locked. There was only one other way into this section of the warehouse and that was from the inside. Helena looked back at Faith, "Well, we have two optioere.ere. Try and get this door open or we have to go get to it from the inside."
"Let me have a crack at this door." Faith said as she knelt down beside the door knob and pulled out a couple metal objects from her jacket and began fiddling around., "I learned a few things working the mayor of Sunnydale." she made one last twist of the door and it popped open, "Well, after you."
Helena smiled and walked quietly into the room.
Inside were a half dozen cubicle type bedroo One One only a few feet from where Helena and Faith were now standing.
They walked up to and looked around the first cubicle and it was empty. They moved to the next one and same thing, empty.
The third one did have clothes and other items lying around so at least they knew someone was using it. Same with the last three.
They spread out and tried to find a way to see which one might belong to Stefan but there was nothing personal in any of items they looked through.
Faith did find a briefcase under the last bed and pulled it out and sat it on the bed and they both looked at each other before Faith flipped the snaps on it only to find it to was locked.
There was no time to figure that out now they had what they hoped was the right briefcase and that was enough for now.
As they snuck out the back they heard voices coming from the side of the building and moved closer so they could hear what was being said.
"You heard me. Take the other men and escort our friend to the yacht and I will get the boss and meet you there later on tonight. Get going!." the man said loudly.
"Yes sir." was the only response he got and then the other man took off.
The girls tried to see who the man was giving the orders but he was in the shadows and it was impossible to tell.
He did start walking towards them and they had to turn and run back to the room they were just in and lay low.
That's when they heard a key in the door and someone enter the room. They saw the man walk towards the far side of the room and saw him reach under his bed and instantly got to his feet and screamed, "INTRUDERS" then went outside the other door and promptly hit an alarm, which also turned on all the lights sending the girls running to the exit as fast as they could run.
They got outside and saw that the fence was alot higher without a ledge to use as a jump off point so loo looked around and saw a pickup truck near the fence and alongside of the far building and rushed towards it and were both hopped up into the back of it then Helena gave Faith a boost up to the rof thf the building and she took a large leap and was up soon standing beside Faith.
Suddenly the fence looked much easier to jump over. Faith tossed the briefcase over the fence and onto the roof of the building across the street and then took a couple steps back and made a rng lng leap over the fence and landed comfortably on her feet, then turned to wait for Helena.
Helena was about to make her jump when she heard the sound of gunfire and heard the sound of one bullet fly right past her face, which only pissed her off more. She wanted to jump down and kick some ass, but knew this wasn't the time for that and made the jump over the fence and the two girls took off across the other of of the building and jumped off and just started running.
They couldn't go back to the car right now because it was too dangerous so they ran for the longest time until the came across a shady motel, aptly called, Last Chance Motel..
They needed a place to rest and somewhere to lay low so this was as good a place as any.
Once inside they both fell on the bed and lie there motionless for a couple minutes, but the briefcaas pas pushing at Faith's hip so she sat up and grabbed it and tried to force it open.
With no luck she reached into her jacket and grabbed her trusty lock picking tools and was soon working her magic on the locks and in less then a minute she had it picked.
Helena was standing beside her now as she slowly opened the lid and when they looked inside they saw 4 CD's, two vials of metallic liquid and a manual of some kind.
Faith grabbed the manual and flipped through it and saw that it was a vertailtailed user guide for the computer program they were trying to find a way to stop.
"As much as I'd like to think we just stopped these guys from completing their goal, I have to believe there is more than one copy of these discs as well as this other stuff." Helena was holding up the two vials trying to figure out what they were, but sat them back in the briefcase and looked back at Faith, " What we need to do is get this back to Barbara so she can look at the program herself and find a way to stop it before they execute their plan."
"I'm all for that. We also have to try and be at this meeting they have planned tonight at the docks. I would guess security will be even tighter after our little visit today. They also have an idea of what we look like so that will only make things harder on us.
The men disappeared into the cabin area and the two girls got close to the yacht and hopped up on to the left of it and slowly crept inside to see if anyone was around.
They walked into the very large cabin area and called out softly to see if anyone rndednded.
Instead of a response a very large, but old man came into the room from the stairs below, "Hey, what are you two doing on my ship?"
"Didn't you send for us?" Faith said with a soft sexy voice. She walked up to the man who was probably in his 60's and took his hand and led him to a couch on the west side of the yacht and sat him down gently and walked back over to Helena and gave her a very long kiss.
The man's eye's lit up like he'd just won the lottery and Faith looked back at him and smiled, "So, I was sure this was the right yacht. We are all paid for. Well, to dance for you that is. But, if we made a mistake I guess my friend and I will get out of your way."
The man hopped to his feet like he was 18 again, "WAIT!. No, you are at the right place. I'm sorry, I forgot about you coming. Please, you should continue. Excuse my forgetfulness, it's one of the side effects of getting old you know."
Helena was still recovering from the kiss but had no time to react as Faith grabbed her around her waist and pulled her close and started dancing with her slowly and very provocatively.
Faith was smiling widel Hel Helena who had relaxed enough to smile back and the two girls continued to hold each other close and move their sexy young bodies in front of the very pleased old

Both girls smiled at the old man and then Helena put her hands on Faith's jacket and pulled it off and Faith did the same with Helena's coat.
The man was waiting for more and he didn't have to wait for long either.
Helena then slid off Faith's tight top and then helped her off with her jeans then turned around and let Faith remove her top and pants and the two of them were left standing in their underwear in front of the old, bu, but neither girl seemed to mind one bit.
They began dancing slowly together, hands resting on each other's lower back, just above their asses.
Faith saw the man become restless again so she leaned in and kissed Helena once more, which did exactly what she thought it would, make the old guy lean back and relax a little longer.

Helena was running her hand through Faith's thick dark hair as she talked, "Well, I think that's very possible. Actually, I know it is. The sooner we catch this guy and solve this little problem the sooner we can get back to something much more fun."
Faith couldn't hbut but lean in and kiss Helena's soft lips and Helena was very happy to respond.
The kisses were short and sweet and they kept looking out at the yacht in between each kiss and one time they looked up they noticed the yacht had stopped and as soon as Faith saw this she turned the wheel hard to the right which sent an unsuspecting Helena flying to the gro
Faith got the yacht turned around and was hoping they didn't get too close to the other yacht that they saw them. She got the yacht back on course and then set it on idle and went to look at Helena.
Helena had a minor cut on her arm but other than that was okay.
Faith saw the blood and instantly felt horrible about what she'd done, "God, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't even thinking. I just reacted."
Helena grabbed some Kleenex from a shelf and wiped away the blood, then looked up at Faith's very concerned face, "Relax. Really. I'm fine. It's nothing but a scratch and you did the right thing. I'm just gonna go down below and clean this out."
Faith helped Helena up and watched her go below and then went back to watching the other yacht while still feeling bad about what happened.
As she stood there staring at the yacht she noticed another smaller boat coming towards it.
It looked like a very small fishing boat, with some fishing nets and cables scattered about.
The small boat pulled up along the side of the yacht and a man climbed up the side of the yacht carrying a large briefcase.
Once aboard the yacht he was met by what looked to be Stefan who handed the man another smaller briefcase and the man climbed backn ton to his boat and took off again.
Helena came back up and saw the yacht begin to move again and Faith informed her of what just took place and they had to choose who to follow.
Faith looked at both options then back at Helena, "I say we take the small boat. I think Stefan is just going to go back to the dock and to the warehouse so I don't think we need to worry about him for now. But, that other guy is alone and might just be willing to talk to us about what he just traded to Stefan."
"I can't argue with that. Le't's go then." Helena agreed and watched Faith put the yacht in motion again and once at full speed they caught up to the smaller boat in a matter of minutes.
As they pulled up beside it Helena looked down at the man and gave him a very big smile, "Hey there. We were hoping to talk to you for a minute. You wouldn't mind coming up and talking with us two girls would ya?"
The man was nervous for sure, but he was also very curious about what two sexy women wanted, so he agreed and climbed up on the yacht.
He was mid 30's, balding and hardly seemed like the criminal type.
"So what can I do for you ladies?" he asked, trying to be as charming as possible.
Faith walked up and stood beside him, "Well, we were just wondering what you had in that briefcase over there." she pointed towards it as his face went white.
Helena put her hand on the man's to try and calm him down, "Take it easy. Were not here to rob you or anything like that. We just want some information."
"Listen, I don't know who you are but you do not want to mess around with Stefan Kubek. He's a killer. I can't tell you anything. He'd kill me before I got back home." the man added, clearly terrified of this man.
"He's not going to know anything about this. We can find out what's in your briefcase, but we suspect it's just cash. What we want to know is what you gave him. Now, we can do this the easy way or the not so fun way for you. Take your pick." Faith grabbed the man by the arm and twisted just enough to show him her slayer strength.
"Okay, okay. No need to break any bones here. I hope my death is worth this to you." he said sarcastically, "I gave him a package. In it were a number of things. All with one purpose. Computer software that will give him and his boss a way to bypass the security in most every bank in the world. To literally walk in and remove the money electronically. Deposit it in some offshore accounts and leave without a trace."
Faith's eyes were rolling as the man told his story, "Come on. That isn't possible. There are way too many backups for any major financial institution to be hacked. I was in prison and met alot of would be bank robbers and computer hackers and they all failed with the same basic idea. What makes you so sure this will work?"
"Because I designed it to work. I tested it myself. I can't get into the details because it's impossible to explain how this program works, but it's a muftietedeted program that works to not only bypass security protocols, but then rewrite them on the spot so they don't even know they've been hacked. It's state of the art and it is worth the price."
"If this is true it could destroy more than just Gotham City's economy. It could cripple the world's economy." Helena looked at Faith and saw the same concern on her face as she had and they knew they had to take this very seriously.
"Listen up. Here's the number of an associate of mine." Helena handed him Barbara's card, "If your telling the truth and if your willing to testify against Stefan once we get hi tri trial, then we might be able to set you up in a witness protection program. So is it a deal? Or do you want to take your chances on your own?"
"Fine. I'll do it. But this better be good. Because Kubek is reless ess when he feels threatened. Worse than that, his boss is even worse. If you get him in custody and have a decent case against him then fine, I'll help. Until then I'm gonna hope he doesn't find out about this." the man climbed back down and got in his boat and took off.
Helena looked at Faith and she knew what to do and turned the yacht around and headed back to shore.
It was a long trip but they finally made it and as they expected The Meridian was in the same spot as before. Faith pulled the yacht up beside it and Helena put the keys in the compartment like they were told and they took off running back to the car.
Once inside they headed back to the warehouse. They parked across the street again and were there less than 5 minutes when Barbara contacted Helena, "I've got the blue prints to that whole complex. I'm sending them to you online and you can check them out before you take your next step."
Helena was reag fog for her laptop as she replied, "Great work Barbara." Helena Listen, we may have found the ultimate target of these criminals. We talked to a man who delivered a package to Stefan and he told us it was software designed to bypass most any security system in the world."
"My first reaction is no beo believe this to. But, I've been around computers for too long to know that anything is possible. There are people who spend all their lives creating programs for all types of situations like this so until we know otherwise we better take this seriously."
Faith was watching the warehouse as Helenaled led up the blueprints on the laptop and noticed a limousine pull up to the gate. She made a note of the license plate number and found a pen in the glove compartment and wrote it on her hand and held it out for Helena to see and then pointed towards the car.
Helena looked and saw the car then turned back and smiled at Faith for pointing it our for her then went back to talking to Barbara, "I need you to check out this license plate number for me. This car just pulled into the warehouse complex and we might as well check it out."
"Gotcha. You be careful if you go into that place. Both of you. I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Helena turned her attention to the blueprints on her laptop and she was happy Barbara had pointed out some of the blind spots for some of the surveillance camera's and had even given her the security codes to some of the doors, but it was still too hard to look at on such a small screen so Helena suggested they go back to the diner again because she remembered they had a little computer corner where she could hook up her laptop and print these out so they could study them more thoroughly.
Faith nodded agreement and then took off for the diner.
Once inside they had to wait for a couple teenagers to leave before they could use the computer, but soon Helena had everything hooked up and had paid the woman to use the printer and were waiting patiently for the blueprints to print out.
It was about 10 minutes before they were back in the car studying the layout of the warehouse complex much more thoroughly.
They made a decision about how to get into the complex but decided to wait a couple hours until it was dark to go through with it.
Helena put the laptop in the back seat and looked over at Faith, "So, we've got a couple hours to kill. Any idea's on how we should do that?"
"I can think of a few things. Just not sure a couple hours is long enough for what I have in mind." Faith gave Helena a sexy smile to along with her fairly obvious innuendo, but then sat back in her chair and looked out the window, "But, we probably should spend our time working out the details of what were going to do once we get inside this place."
"I like your first idea alot more, but your right, we should talk about this a bit more. I'm not used to working with anyone so this will be kind of knew for me." Helena grabbed the blueprints again and pointed to a room on the west side, "This seems to be the living quarters so that's likely where Kubek is. Now, if were lucky he will have the briefcase with him and we can grab it get out of there."
Faith was looking at the room when she heard a noise across the street.
Both girls looked up as a very large semi was being waved into the complex. It was pulling two large trailers and drove straight ahead u it it came to a loading ramp and came to a stop.
The gate was closed behind it and they were so far away from the action they couldn't see a thing that was going on.
That changed in a hurry as they got out of the car and walked across the street and went around the side of the complex and climbed up on a ledge and could see some men unloading one of the trailers.
They were removing large crates. Large enough that it took 4 equally large men to carry each one back inside the warehouse.
There must have been about 20 of these crates inside each trailer, but eventually they had them both unloaded and the semi was back on the road again.
Helena waited for the place became quiet as the men closed the warehouse door and went inside. She then jumped up and over the fence and looked back at Faith and waved her over.
Faith took a couple steps back on the ledge and made the huge jump over the tall fence and landed in front of Helena almoalmost bowled her over as she fell forward.
The two girls had a look around and made their way towards the living quarters. They were also very aware of the security camera's and made sure to stay out of the way of them as best they could.
Helena tried to open the door in front of her but of course it was locked. There was only one other way into this section of the warehouse and that was from the inside. Helena looked back at Faith, "Well, we have two optioere.ere. Try and get this door open or we have to go get to it from the inside."
"Let me have a crack at this door." Faith said as she knelt down beside the door knob and pulled out a couple metal objects from her jacket and began fiddling around., "I learned a few things working the mayor of Sunnydale." she made one last twist of the door and it popped open, "Well, after you."
Helena smiled and walked quietly into the room.
Inside were a half dozen cubicle type bedroo One One only a few feet from where Helena and Faith were now standing.
They walked up to and looked around the first cubicle and it was empty. They moved to the next one and same thing, empty.
The third one did have clothes and other items lying around so at least they knew someone was using it. Same with the last three.
They spread out and tried to find a way to see which one might belong to Stefan but there was nothing personal in any of items they looked through.
Faith did find a briefcase under the last bed and pulled it out and sat it on the bed and they both looked at each other before Faith flipped the snaps on it only to find it to was locked.
There was no time to figure that out now they had what they hoped was the right briefcase and that was enough for now.
As they snuck out the back they heard voices coming from the side of the building and moved closer so they could hear what was being said.
"You heard me. Take the other men and escort our friend to the yacht and I will get the boss and meet you there later on tonight. Get going!." the man said loudly.
"Yes sir." was the only response he got and then the other man took off.
The girls tried to see who the man was giving the orders but he was in the shadows and it was impossible to tell.
He did start walking towards them and they had to turn and run back to the room they were just in and lay low.
That's when they heard a key in the door and someone enter the room. They saw the man walk towards the far side of the room and saw him reach under his bed and instantly got to his feet and screamed, "INTRUDERS" then went outside the other door and promptly hit an alarm, which also turned on all the lights sending the girls running to the exit as fast as they could run.
They got outside and saw that the fence was alot higher without a ledge to use as a jump off point so loo looked around and saw a pickup truck near the fence and alongside of the far building and rushed towards it and were both hopped up into the back of it then Helena gave Faith a boost up to the rof thf the building and she took a large leap and was up soon standing beside Faith.
Suddenly the fence looked much easier to jump over. Faith tossed the briefcase over the fence and onto the roof of the building across the street and then took a couple steps back and made a rng lng leap over the fence and landed comfortably on her feet, then turned to wait for Helena.
Helena was about to make her jump when she heard the sound of gunfire and heard the sound of one bullet fly right past her face, which only pissed her off more. She wanted to jump down and kick some ass, but knew this wasn't the time for that and made the jump over the fence and the two girls took off across the other of of the building and jumped off and just started running.
They couldn't go back to the car right now because it was too dangerous so they ran for the longest time until the came across a shady motel, aptly called, Last Chance Motel..
They needed a place to rest and somewhere to lay low so this was as good a place as any.
Once inside they both fell on the bed and lie there motionless for a couple minutes, but the briefcaas pas pushing at Faith's hip so she sat up and grabbed it and tried to force it open.
With no luck she reached into her jacket and grabbed her trusty lock picking tools and was soon working her magic on the locks and in less then a minute she had it picked.
Helena was standing beside her now as she slowly opened the lid and when they looked inside they saw 4 CD's, two vials of metallic liquid and a manual of some kind.
Faith grabbed the manual and flipped through it and saw that it was a vertailtailed user guide for the computer program they were trying to find a way to stop.
"As much as I'd like to think we just stopped these guys from completing their goal, I have to believe there is more than one copy of these discs as well as this other stuff." Helena was holding up the two vials trying to figure out what they were, but sat them back in the briefcase and looked back at Faith, " What we need to do is get this back to Barbara so she can look at the program herself and find a way to stop it before they execute their plan."
"I'm all for that. We also have to try and be at this meeting they have planned tonight at the docks. I would guess security will be even tighter after our little visit today. They also have an idea of what we look like so that will only make things harder on us.
