Shattered

"I'm sorry, Brice, I didn't mean to interrupt. I can leave if you'd prefer?" Savana writes and hands the iPad over and prepares to leave. 

"No, that won't be necessary. We aren't talking about anything you can't hear. Would you like to come with me tonight? We'll take your brothers with us too." Brice asks her. He really doesn't like the thought of leaving her at the house alone. He knows that the biggest threat to her is dealt with, but he is still uneasy and hopes that she will want to come.

Savana smiles, "Are you sure that I won't be in the way?"

Brice snorts at that, "I would be in the way if I was going with my men. I was very politely informed some time ago to let those that know what the fuck they are doing do the job and stay out of their way. I've found that things work out much better when I listen to them so I won't be going in. We'll be at another point waiting for them to bring Sheila to us. Director Bishop and Agent Anderson will be there with their men as well."

Savana shrugs, "Sounds better than staying in the house alone, or as alone as you would let me be. As long as you think it's safe I don't have a problem."

Brice smiles brightly at her words and would take her in his arms and kiss her if the two feds weren't in the room. "Lovely, then we'll plan on that. Was there something you wanted or would you like to join us? There is some breakfast here, but it likely needs to be warmed up." Brice offers.

Savana takes some fruit and a cinnamon roll and some juice before making herself comfortable. Brice hands her back the iPad and she writes, "I will talk to you after they leave." When Brice reads it he nods and gives the iPad back to KK.

Savana ignores the men as she eats. She is more or less reliving that morning and wonders just how far Brice would have let things go. She smiles sadly to herself as she eats. She doesn't think that he would have gone much further. He has far more self control than he gives himself credit for. He didn't do more than watch as she dressed in front of him.

As the men make noises about leaving she comes back to reality. She blushes a bit at how far her thoughts had wandered. She had taken what had happened this morning and taken it all the way to the end. She just isn't sure how that would be, since she's never had sex before. She has a lively imagination though and can guess. Brice is an accomplished lover and she's sure that he would have given her a great deal of pleasure. Now she wonders if she'll ever find any one that actually wants to be with her and won't have issues about being so.

"Here's your money back, Mr. Jensen. It's in cash as you prefer it. Perhaps next time you won't bring so much?"

"If I went into an auction without cash no one would take me seriously. As I'm sure you know I wasn't the only one to bring in over more than a million to the auction. Many of them were serious in the intent to take home some new slaves."

"Yes, one enterprising person brought nearly ten million. I don't think I've ever seen that much money in my life." Bishop says as he hands over the envelope.

Brice takes it and hands it to KK to count. He has learned to always do so. It isn't a matter of trust, at least not so much with Bishop, it's a matter of habit. He doesn't trust any of his colleagues and counts all their money or makes sure the entire shipment is there if it is product.

"It's all there, Brice." KK tells him and hands it back before turning back to his own work. He does keep his eyes on the Director inconspicuously though.

The two men then take their leave and Brice rolls his eyes once more before heading over to Savana. He sits down next to her with the envelope in his hands. "This is yours, Savana. Since it was what I was willing to use to buy you, it is only fair that you receive it."
