Swimming With The Sharks

Part 1

Everything was a go for dinner with Mr. Tate as far as we knew. Landan and Tony met us out back as Chef Phillips and his boys joined us, as we made one stop at their places where they were currently staying in one of the nicer trailers that Stringum had given them until their cabin was built.

It was just so they could pick up their Sunday clothes nothing more watching them come out of their trailer with them still in the plastic wrappers, and Chef Philips overnight bag considering his two boys still had clothes at our house; our honor guard except for Tony who rode shotgun with Landan while everyone else was either in the front of us or the back of as we followed the lead car. It was like we were the president.

We were told that Mr. Tate would meet us at the restaurant and had given our driver Landan instruction which one we would be going to. Chef Phillips stated the one we were going to was very high end and very expensive known as Maul boons in Salt Lake City, the card said causal but nice. Being a public place we didn’t expect any trouble, but just in cases he had doubled our honor guard. Like us, we didn’t trust the guy, not after what had taken place when Eli and I were basically kidnapped, raped and beaten when we were supposed to be delivered directly from the hotel to High Bishop estate.

Even today that left a bad taste in our mouths even though the High Bishop wasn’t responsible for it the old Queen was. Even Jeff didn’t trust the guy, as he remained close. Being he could smell out trouble faster then anyone can. Tony mentioned that perhaps we should cancel, but like me, everyone wanted to take him down. The idea that he was producing kiddy porn and selling it on the black market made us question what else he was doing.

Jeff stated that he was a very bad guy, but he was shrouded that he couldn’t get a clear picture of the guy or even breach his walls without any of us going in. His unusual contacts state that this guy was one of the worst men, which meant he isn’t afraid to kill, steal or kidnap kids and people off the street, yet being human we couldn’t charge him with any crimes because of spiritual beings word on it. Kirk stated the last him and Darren had been at one of his estates, he had them watch kiddy prone and reenact them and what Mr. Tate wanted them to do, or threaten their very lives and families.

That when he and Darren visited him he had several boys that were slaves to do whatever he commanded them to do at the snap of his fingers, in fact, that’s where he met his three best friends and their parents. Yet when his father tried to expose him, that’s when they killed him.

By then it was too late for anyone to do anything, and didn’t matter anymore because he and Darren had basically been through the preparing ritual many times, and sometimes forced to bring other boys or Mr. Tate would bring in boys from orphanages so he said. Yet when his Dad tried to get information on it, they refused to talk or had been altered so they couldn’t talk. The boys all wore electric dog collars around their neck fastened with a padlock.

Eli said that it was quite common for salves to wear them when being trained. Kirk nodded that it was the case and he and his brother wore one as well as his three friends until they had learned to obey without question. The only reason Kirk and his friends were released was because his Dad paid the ransom money as his three best friends parents did.

Like he said there was a reason why he and his friends were scared of Mr. Tate because he had the power to end their lives if he wanted to and nobody would miss them, because they were dirt poor. He says he was their mentor, but anytime he came calling after he had them trained. He would come by the house telling his mother that he was picking them up for an LDS church activity.

But the truth was he was taking them to one of his estates so he could film them in one of his movies. Yet he had stopped doing that because his mother started to ask questions with members of the LDS church regarding the last activity. Finding out they never showed up, but Mr. Tate was a respected member of the church. So he simply said he had them working on a service project. After a few times stopping by where the service project was being held, she stopped asking questions.

Other parents also started to ask questions so he stopped including them and their friends the moment they had taken the vows in the satanic church. He paid others to sweep it under the rug, but by that time his father was dead, he blackmailed him and Darren by threatening their mother’s life if they said anything.

Tony said maybe we should reconsider canceling our dinner date. We all said no even Jeff said no, reminding Tony that Kirk was right, it isn’t anything we have done before. Since we had all had been prepared.

That once inside he can scope things out to get a better blueprint of the place, that we needed those tapes, we need real documented proof if we wanted to take him down. Tony said there was no way he was going to let Mr. Tate get away with it. He said he and his team will hook us up so we when we get inside, he would eyes and ears on us. With Jeff’s help, they can act quickly once we had the information. Dr. Sars and the Holy Queen have the stuff needed to so my friend Jeff can get in out after we have used something that will leave a crack in his spell-like force field. That sound so sci-fi, I was curious what they had created. 

We circled back wanting to take a quick peek at the progress of the homes that were being built. Kirk gasped seeing that the roof was on and the windows were in place, and they had just started the brickwork. The house was double the size as the original one and the other four were quickly catching up. The tent was gone and in its place was a small construction trailer.

We had been told that LDS church gym was converted into a mess hall and resting area where it was warm and dry, and where they can get a hot meal. Which the ladies in the ward were providing and Chef Phillips so they wouldn’t have to go home to eat; depending on what shift they were on. Stringum had taken about 100 men from his large construction crew to keep the work going until finished. He had sacrificed those men from working on his estate. Making sure the homes were good quality homes and not shoddy quick work.

Mostly because they were turnkey meaning once they were built they would be able to move in the second that inspection was done. There was still no sign of the satanic churches members helping out. We had been told the only ones that have put in anytime were members of the LDS church and Stringum’s construction crew. The High Bishop was keeping update and is planning to give a big sermon on Sunday about service, hoping that other members of his church would start pinching in. but so far everyone wasn’t because they were told not to by Mr. Tate.

He still hadn’t canceled the order that he says he didn’t send it. Yet we knew he had done so. Yet we do know he had given a formal apology to Mr. Philips and his two boys as well as the new High Priestess and by extending a dinner invitation to all them.

Yet we heard nothing about them being invited to stay at his estate for the weekend or if he still planned to make it publicly known to the satanic church. It was a little after 6 when we arrived back at our cabin as everyone was rushing around trying to get ready to go, We barely had time to shower and dress, and pack an overnight bag just in case we could work out a comprises to spend the weekend at his estate.

All of us were fitted with some sort of gadget or GPS device so if any of us got kidnapped we could be located quickly. My glasses were fitted with a small camera and listening devices as well as small GPS chip, also my watch and Kirk's had them as well and so did all my friends and our younger bothers. Knowing that Mr. Tate liked them young and under the age of 5 and no older than 17 or 18.

Even our parents also had them, in case Mr. Tate kidnapped them to use as hostages to make us do things that we wouldn’t normally do. After getting very detailed report from Kirk and his brother as well as the High Bishop that Mr. Tate has been suspected, but never proven of the charges of kidnapping children and their parents; which exactly what he has done in the past knowing how effective it was if he wanted to get their kids and parents do something. Even Eli’s Dad stated that they may consider them monster for doing that.

Mr. Tate was the worst in every way. No one dared move against him unless they wanted to end up dead and their families. That he wanted to make someone disappear he could do it. Yet neither them had any real proof other than speculation. They have seen the tapes, of the kinds of things he likes his kids to do. Yet being who he was, and how careful he was no one has yet been able to pin any charges on him.

More so because he has the means to make sure none of it comes to light with high ranking police officers and Judges in his pocket; which was why we weren’t relying on them. We were relying on our task force and the US Government to step in to make sure he can’t get away with it any longer. They wanted him bad, we all did. Dead or alive, preferably alive, Tony and the rest of us personally wanted him dead.

Our goal was to take him down this weekend. We knew there would be a huge vacuum when we eliminated him from the equation. We simply didn’t care, he was a big fish and we knew the little fish would quickly fight to take his spot. We needed to know who the next target would be until we had wiped them out one at a time or several if possible. High Bishop told us not to give him an inch, said if he got what he wanted too easily it would raise red flags and he would eliminate us to fight for his survival.

Tony had a whole arsenal at his disposal from tranq darts to silencers, to poison darts or ones that make you crazy seeing things. He had his men stationed outside each of his estates waiting for the go sign once we were inside the estate. He wasn’t taking any chances once he had what he needed like he did when we took down both the High Bishops. There was no way he was going to get the drop on us, not after perfecting his strike force; they have been practicing for weeks using what worked and what didn’t and improved upon it.

Tony said we had roughly 100 men waiting to take him down, now that we had everything, unlike last time we didn’t know what we were up against. I was given a new ring that was identical to the other own except this one had extra GPS in it and a trigger, when pushed, would notify them we were in trouble if everything else failed, then, of course, I had Jeff, who I could communicate with and relay the information to Eli once we had created a crack so Jeff could go inside and investigate and jump back and forth with the information. Jeff was more than eager to go even though I wasn’t. It just stated how bad Jeff and his spiritual friends wanted him.

We all took a knee and took hands as Bishop Earl said a prayer asking for guidance and help that everything will work out and we would all return home safe. It took 5 limos and five large SUVs to fit us all comfortably. I petted Sparky as I left him in my room with several milk bones and huge ham bone that would keep him occupied for hours.

It felt like I was saying goodbye as I closed the door and got into the limo. Jeff said everything will be alright; I questioned it because he had said that before many times. Yet things were never alright. I had lost so much trust in those words. Mom and Dad too told me everything was going to be alright.

Tony checked everything including a small knife blade in the sole of my sneakers, and another one in the hem of our pants and a hidden blade inside our combs. They were all ceramic so they wouldn’t be detected by any metal detector. I was given a second ring to wear that looked like red ruby, but with a turn of the ring, it had a pin like a blade to cut through rope like butter.

No one knew about it but me. I was told not to tell Kirk or anyone just in case they betrayed me. All of us had been given antidote against truth serum in case Mr. Tate used it to interrogate us which would stay in our system for at least 8 to ten hours; no one was taking any chances. Like I said Mr. Tate was not to be trusted. He was one of the worst bad guys we had ever taken down so far.

I knew it looked like a funeral parade as we drove down the canyon to the restaurant. We were a little late when we arrived. But we had planned on it to make him sweat, wondering if we were coming or not. Tony had gotten word when we had arrived at home that his men were in place inside. Informing us that Mr. Tate had bought the place out, making us the only customers. Just for a minute, he seemed worried, when he gave us a look that said something was off, and then when Stringum asked about it he said just nerves and he was on high alert.

He sent Jeff ahead to scout out, said that places were shrouded, but it could be because there were several bad guys warded against any intruders as we had encountered in Texas, and when dealing with the fallen Queens men; which didn’t surprise us considering how high up the ladder he was. It would take Dr. Sars and the Holy Queen to break the spell.

Even though the High Bishop and she weren’t invited they came anyway as well as our friend Mr. Grayson and his two friends the Kingston’s, which would explain the extra security. Everyone else was back guarding the houses and Mr. Tate’s estates; just in case not knowing what to expect. The moment we pulled into the parking lot my gut told me this was a bad idea, everyone else too seemed a little nervous. It was too late to back out now.
