Part Twelve
It was good that they were downstairs and Michael wasn't far away when the phone rang from Peter to say that a letter had just been intercepted at the Dorchester Hotel reception for the American diplomat that looked the same as the one delivered about the kidnapping.
`It's being couriered over to us now as we speak. Get here as fast as you can,' their father had said. So Michael drove them over to Scotland Yard and with the special pass they had been given, were allowed to park inside. The twins quickly hurried upstairs and arrived at the same time as the courier who handed the envelope to Peter.
`Well here it is. The block capitals of this envelope match the first one so this will be telling us of where they want the money delivered,' he said to Eve.
`Wait till I've washed my hands,' she said and went off. The rest of the incident room people looked on curiously as their Chief waited for Eve to return which was only a matter of minutes.
`Now you can open it but don't touch the note inside,' she said to her father. He opened the envelope and let Eve withdraw the folded piece of paper inside, him thinking that he was going to look a right bloody fool if this didn't work. Eve opened up the note and held it out to a police photographer to take a picture of it.
It's definitely vibrant,' she said in a low voice to Peter. Do you think it's possible to clear the room while we do this? We'll look like fools with what I'm going to do next.'
Okay everybody,' Peter called out. Move out and leave us alone for a few minutes.' There was an undercurrent of mumblings at this but did as they were told until there were only Peter, Eve and Adam left in the incident room.
`Spread out the map of England Adam and then hold my hand and tell me what you feel. Keep your eyes closed too.' he did this and then Eve held the folded note in her right hand and held Adam's with her left. Now with the note held firmly, she put the index finger out of the hand that was holding the note and placed it in the centre of London on the map.
`Might as well start from here and work outwards,' she said to her father. Both of them then, with their eyes closed and holding hands, Eve's finger begin to make circles on the map for a few minutes.
Hold there!' Adam said. I felt something, did you?'
Yes,' Eve replied. Feel again,' she said as she moved her finger again but in a tighter circle this time.
`Yes. Back a bit, not too much. There! Stop.'
Peter looked where Eve's finger was and went to the door.
`Bring me a map of Buckinghamshire,' he shouted and a few minutes later, one was thrust into his hand. This he spread out over the map of England, and Eve, not having let go of the folded note, ran her finger over the map, her eyes closed as was Adam's as they held hands.
`There! Stop!' he cried. Peter looked closely at where Eve's finger was and then went quickly to the door.
`A detailed map of the Amersham area,' he called for, because her finger had stopped between the Chalfonts. This map was soon produced and he took it in and closed the door and spread this one out. With eyes closed and both of the twins holding a hand of the other stood there as Eve's finger moved over the more detailed map.
`There,' they both said at the same time and Peter peered closer at the map and saw that Eve's finger was alongside Bentwood Lane.
`I've got a picture of a large house in, no, I can't say how big the garden is, but it's set back from the road and it has lawns on both sides.'
`That's enough for me,' Peter said, and he went over to the door as Adam gathered up the maps and Eve put the note down to one side.
Sergeant Scott, Weslow! In here, now!' he barked. He went back to the table and found the map that Adam had just tidied up. Weslow. Get a car from the pool, Scott, you come with us.'
Peter was a flurry of activity now and they were soon in a car and speeding out of London for the Uxbridge Road. Peter had passed the map over to Scott in the front seat to guide Weslow while he sat in the back with the twins.
`I'm going to look a bloody fool if this goes wrong,' he muttered to Adam.
How do you think we would feel,' he replied. But I'm confident in Eve's ability,' he said as he patted his father's hand.
The car slowed down as it entered Bentwood Lane from the south end and they cruised slowly along with Adam and Eve scanning the houses on each side of the lane.
There!' Eve called out. That's the house!'
Don't stop or slow down,' Peter said to WPC Weslow. Keep on at this speed.' They all noted the name on the worn wooden gate, Elmwood. They reached the next road junction where Peter had the car stopped. This now was his operation and he quickly set things in motion, getting a squad out and to have the house put under surveillance, admonishing all to keep out of sight and planned that they would hit the house at two in the morning. That left the twins nearly seven hours to wait and find out if they had done what Eve believed they could do.
They went to the local police station to wait out the time while their father put the final touches to the assault that would be made in the early hours of the morning.
One hour after midnight, they were back in the car to cruise up close to Bentwood Lane but kept away from either end until the hit squad went in.
`Shit or bust,' their father said as his watch showed two o'clock, the time his men would be making their move in towards the house.
We're going in now,' came a crackling voice from the car's receiver. Door's open and they're in,' it crackled and they all sat there in the car holding their breath. `Upstairs now,' the radio crackled again.
Got him!' came an exultant voice through the ether. Got the boy and he's alive!'
`Two males and one female in custody,' came another voice another moment later.
`Move in Weslow,' Peter ordered and she gunned the car and raced down the lane and was the first car in before another two came roaring in behind them. In the headlights of the three cars, they saw a bullet proofed man come out carrying a bundle in his arms.
Weslow. Move out and take care of the boy and get him to Great Ormand Street Hospital asap. Scott, you can take over this car. Well you two,' he said as he turned to them as the others moved to follow his orders. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for the fact that you are my children. I'm lost for words for I had no idea that you had, I don't even know what it is, but whatever, I'm very, very proud of you,' and he gave them a hug.
They watched as Weslow went and collected the small boy and get into a car that quickly left the drive of the house as two police vans came in. The three people were now being brought out of the house, their hands handcuffed behind them and they were hustled into the vans.
Perkins!' Peter barked down his hand piece, the constable left in the incident room. Ring the boy's parents and give them the good news that their boy is safe and in our hands. He's being taken to the children's hospital to be checked over and they can see him there.' he clicked off and then triggered it again. `Well done everybody, well done. Back to the barn for debriefing. Okay Scott,' he said when he clicked off the radio,' head for Mayfair. I've got two tired passengers here to drop off for a good night's sleep.'
My two wonderful children, Eve caught as he held her hand. This has made me prouder than when I saw you get your diploma's.
Did you get that Adam? Eve asked.
Yes. I'm pleased for dad and just as proud of you for taking this chance and getting away with it. God, it's given me a hard on.
Well keep it up till we get home.
It took them less than an hour and their father couldn't say enough in praise for what they had achieved.
`Get a good night's sleep and I'll see you tomorrow at the Yard. I'll be there for some time yet.'
They were dropped off at the house in Mayfair and they were soon inside were they then hugged and kissed each other in their exuberance at such a successful outcome.
They quickly and quietly went to bed where Eve begged that Adam made love to her and he was quickly on top of her and plunged himself inside and fucked her to bring both of them to the heights of ecstasy as they came in unison.
It was a bewildered Adam that woke up in the morning to find he was alone in the bed. It was a while before he found the note on the pillow.
Sorry about this, the note read. But this is something I can only do on my own. Hold the fort with dad. See you tomorrow, love Eve.
What he didn't know was that by the time he was reading the note, Eve was aboard a plane for Switzerland. It was something she had set up a week ago with a clinic there and by ten that morning, she was having fertility tests and being prepared for hormone treatment. It was the evening before the tests had been analysed and she was given a male hormone injection into her ovaries and then put to bed for the night. The following morning, she had some more tests and after these, she was allowed to leave and she caught the first flight to London.
Adam, in the meantime was at a loss and when he went to Scotland Yard had to apologise to his father for Eve's absence, saying that she would be about soon but there was something else she had to see to first.
Peter then filled Adam in as to what had happened. The boy had been snatched as he knew and had been taken to this house in Buckinghamshire. He hadn't been maltreated according to the hospital and though he'd been kept in overnight, his parents had been able to see him and were overjoyed at his recovery.
`I spoke to them an hour ago and told them that it wasn't me that found their son, but you two. They want to see you as soon as possible to thank you personally.'
`Well thanks dad, but we are not after the publicity. In fact we don't want it at all. We just want to keep a low profile and work as Gemini. I'm sure you can understand why.'
`I do son, I do. Your mother wouldn't really believe it. I didn't believe it until I saw it happen. I'm very proud of both of you. I wish Eve was here for me to tell her that.'
`She knows dad, believe me she knows.'
`Where is she anyway?'
`Now that is beyond even my powers for I've not the slightest idea. I said goodnight to her last night and this morning she was gone. Just a note saying that she will be back tomorrow.'
`Well the parents of the child still want to meet you, so when she turns up, go and see them. Now I'm going home for I'm very tired and need some sleep,' Peter said.
`Before you go, what about the kidnappers?' Adam asked.
They've been charged and will appear in court in a couple of days time. They didn't know what hit them,' he chuckled. Now I'm going home, want a lift?'
`Yes please dad,' Adam replied, and wasn't surprised that his father fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. He got out at his house in Mayfair without waking him and let the driver take him home for a good sleep in his own bed.
Michael was waiting for him and wanted to know what had gone down the night before and with the absence of Eve, Adam went to bed with him and told him part of the story. Then they got down to what they went to bed for and soon Adam was crooning by having an erection up inside him to soothe his inner feelings before he had the chance to do the same to Michael.
He slept alone that night for he wasn't sure when Eve might turn up and he was beginning to get worried by midday until a taxi pulled up and she emerged. He was all over her when she got inside the house.
`Where the hell have you been? I've been going out of my mind with you disappearing like that,' Adam cried.
Seeing to our future,' she said enigmatically, and wouldn't expand on that. She had kissed him on her arrival and now she clung to him. Take me to bed Adam and make love to me. There's nothing in this world at this time that I want except for you to make love to me.'
He'd never been one to refuse Eve and when it came to sex, that he'd never refused either. He didn't quite understand why there was no foreplay but dismissed it and quickly entered her to her cries of delight and helped by her own body movements to make it a grand coupling with both of them coming to cries of pleasure.
Only after he had pulled out of her did she go down and sucked on his wet and still hot and throbbing erection before sighing and letting him go to cuddle up to him for a kiss and accept his caresses. An hour later she went down on him again to raise him up but again, didn't finish him off but insisted that he fucked and come inside her. He took her twice during the night between him telling her of his meeting with their father and of the meeting they must have at the Dorchester Hotel.
She made him take her again in the morning and stayed in bed until he built up the strength to take her again, for the clinic had said that the injections she'd had were only good for a few days if they were to be effective.
They finally got out of bed and after a good shower, they dressed up in their best and went off to the Dorchester Hotel. Well they were treated like royalty when they announced themselves as being Gemini.
My God!' Were the first words spoken by Stephen Micklemeyer when he saw the twins standing at the door to his suite. I can now see why the name. Esther! Come see our saviours,' he shouted out as he ushered them into their sitting room of the hotel.
Oh...my...God!' she dragged out when she saw the two smiling twins. I've never seen two identical people together before. Are you twins?'
Esther dear, I thought you were one for horoscopes. Gemini? Twins? I think it's great. Now we owe you I don't know what for finding our son,' he said, shaking first Adam's hand and then Eve's. Come and sit down. Esther! Drinks for these two wonderful people.' He had a booming voice and Esther was quick to go to the drinks trolley and pour them out a drink, vodka they had both asked for. She was light on the tonic but it was just about drinkable.
`How's Robin?' Eve asked.
`Fine, he's just fine. None the worse for his little adventure, as he called it. They kept him in that children's hospital for the day to check him over. Boy, were we glad to see him.
The Chief Inspector told us that it was you who found out where he was. For that we are most grateful. He said you run Gemini solely to fight crime and so far, your record has been one hundred percent. That was why he called you in. Not only did you get our son back but saved us a lot of money. Now being an agency, you charge a fee for your services. How much do we owe you?'
`Well we normally, like in insurance claims, ask for five percent of what would have been paid out, but in the circumstances...'
Say no more,' he boomed, going to a brief case and pulling out a cheque book. You want ten percent,' he continued, starting to write out the cheque.
`No sir. You didn't let me finish. Because a human life was involved and not material things, we were only go to ask for two and a half,' Eve finished.
`You British have a weird sense of business I must say, but I'm paying you ten percent and no argument. Back home they would have charged me twenty five. Do I make the cheque out to Gemini?'
`No sir. To Adam and Eve Baker.' Either Mr Micklemeyer didn't know their father's surname or didn't make the connection, whichever as he finished writing the cheque and passed it over, for which he was thanked.
`Now if you ever come Stateside, here's my card and we hope that you'll pay us a visit.'
`Thank you sir,' the twins both said as they finished their drinks and stood. They shook hands and left the hotel.
The Inland Revenue are going to love us getting a cheque like that, Adam said as they walked the short distance home. Michael was out practising his driving and they had the house to themselves.
`Let's go to bed to celebrate,' Eve said, dragging Adam upstairs though he didn't need to be dragged. They got undressed and quickly went into each other's arms and kissed before he moved down and began to arouse her.
Not too much Adam, she said as his tongue flicked in and out of her vagina. I want you inside me, now. He moved up and covered her body with his and entered her. That's the place for it, she sighed as he filled her and began to move on top of her. She held me him tight as she moved her body under him. Give me a baby Adam. I'd rather have yours than Rupert's, she whispered. Give me a baby please!
He thought it was just talk for she'd said words like this before and didn't know that she'd stopped taking the pill. They held each other tight as he came inside her, the sweat on their chests mingling as did their juices inside her.
It was not known if it was the first, second, third or even fourth time since her injections in Switzerland of their couplings did he fertilise an egg. Not knowing that she was like her mother in the fact that her eggs always split, she began the process of giving life to a set of twins and if the injections and the timing were right, they would be boys.
Eve was having Adam on top and inside her four times a day, taking advantage of Rupert being away. She took so much out of him that he was unable to see to Michael, though he was quite content for the time being to be able to fuck Adam. They would go into Michael's room and undress and kiss each other, Michael still telling Adam how much he loved him. Adam would suck on the erection offered him but only enough to tease for he wanted that hard piece of flesh up inside him.
`Fuck me Michael, fuck and give me a baby like Eve wants,' he panted one day as Michael was behind and inside him.
`I wish I could but we never will while I'm wearing a condom, not that I could anyway,' he chuckled as he kept moving himself in and out of the tight back passage of Adam.
That was when the penny dropped with Eve's plea that she wanted his baby and not Rupert's, she'd stopped taking the pill!
`Fuck!' he exclaimed.
`I'm doing the best I can,' said Michael panting as he heaved himself into Adam and came in his usual shuddering bursts. Adam did his cleaning up of Michael by taking him into his mouth afterwards and gave thought as to Eve's motives.
That night as she lay in his arms after just having him inside her, he asked the question.
You've stopped taking the pill haven't you?
Yes.
When and why?
When I heard of the boy's kidnap.
You planned from then for me to get you pregnant?
Yes.
Why?
I've said all along that I wanted your baby but I couldn't until I was married. Now it will be your son that will be the future Lord Ransome.
Rupert will find this out! How can you be so crazy?
How will he? It doesn't matter if the baby looks like you for it will also look like me. He will think it's just my genes coming out besides, he'll be having me himself in a few days so he will think that it's his. It's too late now for I'm pretty certain that I'm already pregnant.
Oh God help us that nothing goes wrong for your sake. He might kill the both of us and then where would we be?
In heaven where we are going to go now again, she said as she rolled over on top of him and held his now erect penis up and sank down on it to stop only when she reached his thighs.
This is heaven for me, she sighed as she began to move on him and pulled his hands up to massage her breasts as she screwed him.
It appeared a joyous welcome when Rupert and Rhea arrived at the house. Rhea was heartily kissed by Adam and Rupert got many kisses from Eve.
`Have you missed me darling?' Rhea with her sun tanned face asked her husband.
`You don't know how much,' he replied, complimenting her on how well she looked.
You look as though you've been working too hard,' she said as she ran her fingers down his cheek, or not eating properly. I think we should employ a cook, Michael's cooking is rather bland. And a maid I think. This place could do with a good clean.'
It's good to have you back Rupert,' Eve said as she kissed and hugged him. Was the trip a success?'
`I couldn't wait to come home. I've missed you so much. Yes, I think we've made the right decision to open up out there. I hear congratulations are in order for you too. We read in the papers that the child had been found safe and well, though your name wasn't mentioned. Was it your doing?'
`Yes, but we like to keep a low profile so we kept away from the press conference. Oh, it's so good to have you back,' she said hugging and kissing him again.
`Now that I've delivered Rhea, shall we go home?' Rupert asked.
Don't think of taking on any jobs for the next two weeks,' she said to Adam, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Rupert and I have a lot of catching up to do.' She also kissed Rhea and Michael goodbye while Rhea kissed her brother and thanked him for the wonderful trip.
I've got some wonderful presents for you,' Rhea said as Adam took her bags upstairs with her following him into their bedroom, but first I want you to make love to me and show me how much you have missed me.' It was really the last thing he wanted to do at that moment after having had Eve twice that morning, but dutifully undressed and looked at her tanned body. This was enough to rouse him to her delight as she took him into her mouth to tease him a little.
She opened her legs to let his hand begin to work its magic, marvelling at how he could use his fingers to open and play with her. This was the prelude to him going down and swiftly bring her to an orgasm which was a veritable flood.
`God, I've missed this,' she cried out as she came, trying to mash his face between her thighs in the throes of her ecstasy. She began to tug at his hair and he kissed his way up her body, pausing at her breasts to suck and use his teeth on her nipples before finally putting himself inside her.
God, it feels bigger than ever,' she cried out as he pushed himself hard into her. Oh Adam, you don't know how much I've missed this,' she said as she began to move in the opposite direction to his thrusts. They both cried out at their joint release and held each other tight and by not having as much demand on his body as Eve had wanted, managed to impregnate Rhea in that first week back.
