Kelri's Gain Part 22: Data Night

With instinct, Connor stepped in the way to protect Kelri's modesty. Seeing the gun he hesitated but stood up straighter to protect her. He reached behind and held Kelri in place behind him. "What the fuck! Who are you?"

"What are you doing with the data!" The man with the gun yelled. He kicked the door shut with his foot sending his tan trench coat and beard fluttering in the gust.

"What data!" Kelri yelled back as she pulled her dress to herself with her foot. She snatched it up and pulled it over her head.

"As if you don't know. I refuse to play coy. The data from Neuro-Technical Development." The man wiggled his gun.

Connor put his hand up in the air. "I looked at the data, that's all!"

"Oh is that all you did, Connor? Or should I say 'Secret Advisor'? I tracked the download through the network to your terminal. Then I tracked your phone to here. You masked the download location well enough but not your activities."

"I didn't download shit." Connor scowled. "And I'm sure as shit not the Secret Advisor."

"Are you sure. Caught you with hands on the data red handed. And she seems like your type too."

Kelri peaked around Connor. "What? No! Were not the secret advisor. We were looking at the data in a hope to FIND him. And what? 'His type'? What do you mean?"

The man stared and took a heavy breath. His eyes wandered down, and the gun followed. "Fuck. You really don't know anything. Wasted opportunity. I thought I managed to get ahead of the game. Looks like I'm still way behind. Fuck."

Kelri stepped out from behind Connor pushing him to the side. "Who the hell are you! How in the fuck do you know the Secret advisor? Does everyone know him?" Connor forced himself halfway in front of her again and grasped her with his arm across her chest.

"Uhh. I'm GalvanicStar."

"What kind of name is that?" Kelri chastised with a flailing arm.

"I'm sure as hell not going to give you my real name. I just pulled a gun on you!" he sighed. "I work with the research center. Data protection. As for who the secret advisor is? That's what i'm trying - and failing - to figure out."

Connor cleared his throat. "So? What do you know about him then."

"That he's been penetrating our security with impunity for almost a decade. Whatever security measures I try to put in place he bypasses. He's a skilled hacker, but far more skilled at social engineering. He convinces people to open up holes which he can pry into. It has to be some kind of corporate agent. Maybe a group of agents going by the same pseudonym. Secret Advisor. None of the people's he's manipulated have ever met him."

"Sounds familiar." Connor and Kelri both mumbled.

"So..." Kelri meekly spoke up. "We're not the only ones to be manipulated by him?"

"No."

"What did you mean by his type then?"

"Fuck. He - well it's..." GalvanicStar waffled with his words. "He has groups he seems to prefer to move in. Fetishists. A bunch of them but he seems to primarily ingratiate himself into a few. Fertility fetishists. Belly fetishists. Weight gain and fat fetishists. All the people Secret Advisor has manipulated has some tie to those groups."

"So. Like me..." Connor resigned.

"Apparently." GalvanicStar gesture wildly at Kelri's belly.

"Hey!" Kelri halted herself and looked at her belly. "No. I guess that's fair..."

"So. I guess my question is, how exactly did he manipulate you?"

"Mostly just encouraged me to flirt with Kelri."

Kelri spoke up. "That's not quite true. He manipulated me into a regular eating contest. He told me about some new medical treatment to help me win."

"Well there it is, isn't it. Damn. With the data he has access to, he must be able to see all the research going on here..."

"What can we do to help?" Connor asked. "I know my way around computer security."

"Connor, he just pulled a gun on us!" Kelri protested.

"But... I think he's on our side. He wants to find out who this bastard is as well."

Kelri relented.

"I do. But I don't need your help. Security is my job. I have an Ai i've rigged to track his movement across the network. To spot statistically unlikely anomalies. But - I guess you might be able to help. I can't make heads or tails of the fetish communities. I can only stomach them in small quantities at a time."

"Hey." Kelri scowled. "Oh. Right..."

"You'd be their goddess. Maybe poke around a bit. See if you find anything."

"What do you mean poke around?" Connor asked.

"Well... Do what he's done. Ingratiate yourselves in their community. You'd fit right in, like I said." With swift steps he backed up to the door.

"That's right. Get the hell out of my apartment."

With a slam of the door GalvanicStar was gone.

"What the fuck!" Kelri shouted. She rushed to the door and locked it. They stood in silence for a few minutes as the tension faded.

Connor walked and squeezed Kelri into a bear like hug. "What the hell. I can't believe that happened. I can't believe we're okay. If something had happened..."

Kelri relaxed into his arms and embraced him back. The tension and anxiety broke away to the sensation of butterflies trying to force their way into her already filled stomach. "I - would you have really taken a bullet for me?"

Connor said "What do you think? I stepped in the way didn't I?"

"You did." She kissed him and pushed him onto the couch and straddled his lap. She squished her belly against his stomach and sighed with arousal. The overwhelming sense of fullness returned and with it the pleasant pain of being so stretched.

"I guess I can look deeper." Connor hands grasped her belly and sloshed it up and down. Kelri groaned.

"I have no idea what i would even look for in that... Community?"

"I don't either. I mean I can keep looking at bellies but maybe I can look at - " Connor shuddered, " - the comments."

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised now that there are picture of bellies on the internet... Are they better than mine?"

"Well considering I get to touch this one? No. Even if i didn't get to touch it... Still no. Yours is incredible. He was right about that."

"Maybe I should look too?"

"It couldn't hurt."

"Thank you for stepping up." Kelri said and plunged her lips onto Connor's.
