Part 37 - Party Planning

When Hugh Jenning decided to throw a lavish party in London for the touring party and staff, it was also an excuse to get some of the people he thought would be beneficial to his cause.
The party would also be full of heads of Industry, Government and organized crime from all over Europe.
Sure some of them were criminals but he needed strong men without consciences to control those who got out of control. Greedy men who craved money and power. Men who knew the hierarchy of things . Men who knew what discipline and control meant. Men – who if things got out of hand wouldn’t let things like consciences get in the way.
A special one off performance was to be played by the band as a thank you for Jenning’s generosity.
He had deliberately planned the performance so he could monitor the more powerful people in the audience, something he planned to do o every continent. His aim: to search for people to be his Generals, Generals for his new world order.
The party would show him which ones where fit for his plan.

Part 36- Touring

Marcel meets the Pope




Marcel had his biggest thrill when the band were invited to perform an unprecedented concert at St Peters Basilica.
Howls of protests came from all corners of the globe demanding they be removed from the bill, but when Pope Benedict XIV stepped in personally to say “He liked these boys” all arguments were silenced.
Marcel and the Pope exchanged autographs.

Later after the gig the Pope joined the band in a ” meet the audience ” walk.
David is caught on film here trying to pick His Holiness’ pocket for any good luck charms.

I.Q=∞ get some pointers

The boys from the group spent time with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons from the rock band KISS learning hints and tricks to keep their identities safe from a prying public.

Part 35 - Beware of smiling stones in handbags

Even though she was Boris’ constant companion Missy rarely got to be within shouting distance of the other two Monks Marcel and James.

They had their own minders who were as protective of them as Boris was of David. It didn’t help that David was often doing paperwork or on the computer doing some sort of business while the other two tended to enjoy each others company.
Always singing or reading.
When even a few metres away Missy felt a great sense of calm wash over her, even more so that the stone was nestled in her bag.
Something she had seemed to forgotten she had and something it seemed Boris never seemed to know was missing.
Inside Missy’s bag the Epiphany stone was setting up it’s finale of it’s rock opera.

Part 34 -Missy's discovery

Missy hadn’t managed to get close to the Monk David , he seemed totally consumed by other thoughts.
Probably praying thought Missy.
So Missy capitalized on the attention she was receiving from Boris , from that moment on she kept Boris company in his relatively easy job of minding David.
She suddenly became somebody again, Boris’ subordinates treating her very nicely in case they upset Boris.
Though Boris did his best to give as much attention to Missy as he could, he was ever vigilant of what and where the band members were constantly, and when he wasn’t doing that he was on the phone talking to his boss the mysterious Mr Blanc.
It was during one of these conversations when Boris had left the room to talk about some “issues” that Missy decided to look through Boris’ drawers to elevate the boredom. Hidden in a sock in the draw next to the bed she discovered the most glorious stone she had ever seen. Without thinking she picked up the stone and placed it in her handbag and waited for Boris to come back and smother her with attention.

Part 33 -Meanwhile in Paris Part 4

David , Boris and Missy were in Paris by later that night thanks to Mr Jenning’s Lear Jet that had been given to the band for personal use. David was sans robes but wore sunglasses and a scarf just in case.When they arrived at the Train station David asked Missy to show him where she found the key.Missy by this stage was confident she was in no danger and was on some sort of crazy treasure hunt with the Monk and his bodyguard. She took them to the change rooms where she found it.Nothing stirred in David’s memory as a matter of fact he couldn’t recall being at this train station before.“Let’s check out the locker” David suggested.When the found the locker David inserted the key opened it and discovered it was empty.“Damn” thought David another dead end.Meanwhile behind David Boris’ phone rang. It was Mr Blanc.“Where the hell are you and do you have client number two?” Mr Blanc screamed down the phone.“It’s fine Boss, where in Paris but will be back in a couple of hours, I’ll send a photo as proof. Excuse me sir” Boris said and as David turned Boris took a photo on his mobile.“Sending proof now sir” said Boris.“Good get back here pronto before all hell breaks loose” replied Mr Blanc.David went to protest at the photo but then decided who would know?“Let’s go back Boris, come on Miss” David said to Missy handing back the necklace.Boris looked around and thought:“This looks like the Station I picked up my Ma” then looking at Missy thought: “She’s not a bad looker that one”Missy noticed Boris looking at her and thought of other things, another plan to get closer into the Monk’s circle.Mr Blanc opened the attachment on his phone and viewed the picture of the client.Though he was in dark glasses and he wore a thick scarf there was something horribly familiar about that man.

Part 32 -Missy's Misadventure

Missy Pheelyne had made it back stage; these security guys were amateurs when it came to a true professional who’d weaselled her way back into concert dressing rooms for more than half her life.
Missy was pretending to be a technician with the stage lighting crew , She slipped into the performers lounge ignoring the large “Off Limits” sign stuck to the door. The room was abandoned except for David, still in robes watching the football on a huge flat screen television.
“Hello” she purred.
“Hello” David said looking around registering Missy’s presence then returning to the screen.
“No I meant Hello” Missy cried and ripped open her shirt exposing her breast.
David turned and gasped then his eyes focused on something that made his heart jump, then yelled at the top of his voice.
“Boris, get in here immediately”
Boris burst through a side door saw Missy and grabbed her arms roughly, Missy yelled in pain.
David walked over to the girl reached out and pulled the key off the chain that hung from her neck.
The one revealed when she exposed her breasts.
“Where did you get this?” David asked
“In Paris at the train station” Missy whimpered
“Boris, we’re off to France, now. And miss you’re coming with us”

Part 31 -James continuing dreams

James dreams was still being effected by the weird dreams, lately they had changed.
The numbers were being transformed into huge crowds.
The crowds would then all face him and look upon him in wonder.
Sometimes Marcel would sit beside him – but never David.
This – strangely – made him feel at ease.
