“Alright, fine. Fun suckers,” Jude starts, shuffles a few papers, and then gets into the thick of it. “I picked up a contract with the government. They want me to develop an app for them, and in doing so, I negotiated that we as a group would test it first before submitting it to them. Tysen and Johnny, this is where you come in, and maybe Jagger. The hospital Luke works alongside with probably wouldn’t take very kindly to me using this new facial recognition software. Still, up to you. I can always pitch the idea to them.” Jude grabs a candy out of the bag he has in his hand and chews on it while the rest of us think on the news he delivered.
“What do they want with the software you’re producing?” Asher asks, taking the guess work out of what I’m thinking.
“Get this, I figured it’d be some top-notch secret security. I’d need to be fingerprinted, laser scanned, and anal probed with how the government works. Apparently, it’s not that deep.” Jude pops another candy in his mouth. He doesn’t like to talk about it and won’t bring it up, but he doesn’t drink. His parents were a piece of work. His mom took off with a man half her age when he was eleven, leaving him with a drunk of a father, and while he never admitted or told any of us, we all knew dear old dad used his fists on him when he went on a bender. We’d bring him around one of our houses to doctor him up or hide him while his dad cooled off, but because he wouldn’t make a report or tell an adult about it, things stayed like that for a few years. Jude eventually got bigger, the bruises became a thing of the past, and when his dad took off, leaving him to fend for himself, we all rallied around him, especially our parents. My parents were ready to tear his father down. I think my mother said something along the lines of stringing him up by his balls and pulling out his nails with a pair of pliers. Loretta Vaughn is not a woman to be fucked around with.
Dad had to hold her back a few times, telling her she couldn’t go charging into a home like a bull in a china shop, especially without going through the right channels. It didn’t matter to her; she still went over, gave Jude’s dad a piece of her mind and threatened him with going to the cops. Jude seemed okay for a bit, then we realized his dad got better at hitting him where clothes would cover the damage, and when one of us mentioned something, he told us to stop, pleaded with us to stay silent. And when you’re only coming into your teen years, you tend to listen to your friend. It doesn’t make it right, and it didn’t make any of us feel better over the next couple of years. Jude, though, man, he persevered and came out on the other side.
“They want to use my facial recognition software to expedite travelers going through customs.” He tosses another piece of candy in his mouth. How he doesn’t have cavities is beyond me. The man always has some form of a sweet at the ready.
“Set it up. I probably should have already had cameras installed in the main cabin areas all along,” I tell him, finishing my Macallan. When I came to the group after the night with Maci, it was with a clear head. I mean, sure, she fucked my head up, leaving me with a taste in my mouth that’s all woman. Her magnificent rack that bounced every time I fucked my cock into her, the tight clench of her pussy, and goddamn, the woman could use her mouth. Still, with no way to get ahold of her, it’s been a lost cause. Unless I admit to the group what happened and ask Jude and Trent to work their superpowers to track her down. There’s only one problem with that: I’d have to admit a woman up and left me, and the hazing they’d give me would last a lifetime.
“I’ll set it up. You good for me to start working on it tomorrow morning? I know your flight log doesn’t have any clients until tomorrow afternoon. It’ll give me plenty of time to get in and out. Then I’ll download the app to your tablet, you can see what it does, provide feedback, and even when the software is turned over to the government, you’ll still have the cameras up, and I’ll switch over to the server we use for Johnny’s club and our homes.” Leave it to Jude to know everyone’s schedule. He’s probably got all of ours memorized with the way his brain works.
