>>>>>[Job's done. The target understood the message and will be feeling
the pain for some time. Broken bones and a few missing teeth aren't
considered permanent damage are they?
Here's some vid for verification.

+++++begin video

It's evident that the view is from an eye cam, as the scene of a dimly
lit parking lot comes into view. The low roar of a motorcycle can be
heard, indicating the camera owners choice of transportation. As the
scenery slowly passes by, a small grocery store can be seen at the end
of the lot. A single car sits almost directly under the one light post.

The view zooms in on the single source of light as a small crosshair
appears. Within a fraction of a second the light is extinguished.

"That's better."

The bike is moved next to the lone car and the engine killed.

"Don't make me wait too long sweetie. Jazz doesn't like to be kept
waiting."

As if on queue, a large man walks from the store toward the car Jazz is
parked next to. He's carrying a six-pack and a small grocery bag.
Looking Jazz over with a smug look on his face, he opens the passenger
door of the car, sets his purchases inside, and walks around the back of
the car to the driver side.

"Are you Joe Kennear?"

"Yeah. Why?" comes the reply.

"I've got something for you," Jazz says almost seductively.

The man stops and grins, "Oh yeah, and what might that be?"

As Jazz stands and moves closer, the grin becomes wider, but only
briefly. Before he has a chance to react, he is knocked to his knees,
doubled over from the unexpected punch to the mid-section. A heavy,
black motorcycle boot catches him in the face, knocking him the rest of
the way to the ground.

Pushing himself up on his hands and spitting blood and a couple of
teeth, he growls, "You bitch!"

"Oh, that's no way to talk to a lady!"

Her movements are so quick and controlled, there is no doubt that she is
wired and highly trained. The victim curls into the fetal position to
try and protect himself from the flurry of feet and fists. As quickly as
the beating started, it was over.

Coughing blood and spitting a few more teeth, Kennear whispers, "What do
you want from me?"

"I just want you to remember a message. Remember it and you'll never see
me again. Forget and I won't be so nice next time."

Jazz pauses to make sure she has his undivided attention, "There's never
been a union at Chardy. There never will be a union at Chardy. Live with
that... or not. Do you understand what I'm saying Joe?"

Kennear mumbles something and is swiftly rewarded with another boot to
the ribs.

"Do you understand me??"

"Yes, yes... I got it... no union... don't think I'll forget..."

+++++end video

I left at that point, but stopped where I could make sure he wasn't
going to lay there and fragging die or something.

Let me know if you have any other work come down. Now that I've got some
personal biz taken care of and out of the way, I'm ready to get back in
the swing of things again.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sorry this is so late getting to you. Seems your reporter was more of
a distraction than I realized. Anyway, you've got your package and for your
own records, here's some vid of how it went down.

+++++begin video

The time stamp at the bottom of the video indicates 11:42pm. The road is
glistening in the headlights from the light rain that has been falling all
day. Brake lights from the car in the distance seem to be the only other
vehicle around at this hour.

Jazz is drumming the steering wheel of the old Corvette to the beat of an
old Bad Company tune. The brake lights ahead flash a couple of times, then
stay on as the car slows and moves to the shoulder.

"Right on time."

Jazz pulls the 'Vette off to the side of the road ahead of the stalled car
and steps out. Her reflection in the windows of the car show that she's
dressed in a loose silk shirt, and a pair of faded jeans with the knee
ripped out of one leg.

As she walks back to the disabled car, the other woman steps out as well.

"Y'all need some help?" comes the inquiry in the sweetest Texas accent Jazz
can muster.

The driver of the other car looks relieved as she realizes it's a woman that
has stopped to help. "I just don't know what happened! I was driving along
just fine and all of a sudden it just died! Of all nights for this to
happen."

Jazz smiles, "From personal experience, I've found that cars tend to do
whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as it's inconvenient for
you."

"Well, this definitely proves that theory. I was just headed home to change
clothes and head back to Seattle. Now it looks like I'm going to have a
quiet evening waiting for the mechanic to show up."

Jazz pauses for a moment as if contemplating her next move. "Well... I was
just out drivin' around and actually live in Seattle. Would you like a ride?
I can get you back to Seattle if you'd like. It wouldn't be no trouble at
t'all..."

The woman's face was a mix of emotions. "If you could give me a ride home,
I'd appreciate it. But I wouldn't want to inconvenience you by asking for a
ride all the way back to Seattle. That would be too much to ask."

"Oh, it would be no trouble at t'all. I've got to go back sometime tonight
anyway. Besides that, you didn't ask, I offered."

+++++end video

I cut the "girl talk" segment. Wasn't anything important. She wasn't giving
me any real details anyway. To make a long story short, I took her to her
place to change and we headed back to Seattle. There was a party she was
going to. That's where it got interesting.

Our chit-chat turned a little flirtatious, and she invited me to go to the
party with her. I figured what the hell, the more she trusts me, the easier
it will be. Boy was I wrong.

We went to the party and left around 4am. Told her she could stay at my
place and we'd get her car taken care of the next day. I told her I had to
run by a friends place on the way home. I'm not sure what tipped her off,
but once she realized that something was up, she tried everything to get me
to let her go. I almost wrecked my car trying to restrain her before I could
get stopped. I finally had to subdue her with my tazer.

Hope your meeting with her goes a little better. Oh, a word of caution,
watch her right hand. She's got some kind of razor implant in one of her
fingers. Not sure which one. It's not long enough to do a lot of damage, but
it'll sure get your attention.

Let me know if anything else comes up that needs to be taken care of.]<<<<<
