The Sexual Assistant

Chapter 12

"Tell me of your village," said Jade in a low, sexy voice.

The crewman began the tale of his youth in Somalia. While he talked, Jade slowly unbuttoned his shirt and slid her hand smoothly across his chest. The crewman continued to speak as her hand turned South towards new territories. The crewman visibly relaxed as Jade played with him. Despite the growing excitement, the man just kept talking. True, the talking was slowing down, but the words kept coming. His only pause was at the moment of climax. Then he continued the story of his village.

Later that same day, the Captain took a break from the wheelhouse to fetch some coffee. In the galley, he could hear the muted sounds of a man engaged in sexual activity. Then he heard Jade softly singing the nursery rhyme. The Captain shook his head and went back to the wheelhouse.

Once Buffy was off oxygen, she and Harris were flown to Berlin for debriefing. It took a few days to review the details of the mission. None of the officials seemed to care about the fate of Jade. To them, she was just a lost piece of equipment that could be replaced. Harris, however, was decidedly depressed. Here was one of the most significant examples of how his form of mathematics could be used to develop technologies at least one hundred years ahead of their time.

Harris turned down Buffy's request to join her for a drink after the debriefings. Instead, Harris walked the streets of Berlin, studying the youth of Germany while contemplating their future. He could calculate their future, but he wasn't prepared for the answer he suspected he would find. Instead, he stood before a small section of the former Berlin Wall and took a vow that never again would he make his mathematics or technologies available for a government to use.

"They do not understand what is staring them in the face," he said aloud to no one.

The small freighter moved around the Red Sea at a slow pace. Their eventual destination was the port of Hudaydah in Yemen. This could not come too soon for the Captain. For one thing, he had a hazardous cargo for a mysterious group in Yemen. He did not know who they were or what they were planning, but getting caught with munitions on board would possibly put him in jail for life.

And then there was the matter of Jade. Jade was popular with the crew. She was too popular. The crew was no longer focused on their tasks. Instead, they would sneak away at frequent intervals to see Jade just long enough to gain satisfaction. At night, the men had parties with Jade as she told them stories and sang. The crew was getting very little sleep, and accidents were beginning to take their toll.

Once the ship was docked in Hudaydah, the Captain called the crew together on deck. "Men," he announced, "Jade will be going ashore shortly. She will not be coming back. Say your goodbyes."

No one dared to question the Captain's orders. However, as the Captain dismissed the crew, he could see that two men were crying. "What in all that is holy is going on here?" he said to himself.

He and the first mate went below to prepare Jade for her departure. For over a week, thirteen men had had their way with her, day and night. Yet, there she was in the galley smiling and humming to herself in contentment. The Captain and first mate cleaned her up the best they could. Then they removed the random clothing she was wearing. Off came the stockings, away went several garters, and over the side went the now totally soiled silk robe.

Using a spare crew uniform, they dressed her in overalls and a t-shirt. The plan was to sell her in the market for some money. However, as they finished dressing her, an older man appeared in the doorway.

"Captain?" he asked.

"I am the Captain. Who are you?"

"I am the man Ramal sent," responded the old man. This was the code phrase to let the Captain know this man was the smuggler hired to move his cargo on the next leg of his journey. The Captain had already been paid, and he knew the people that paid him were not to be cheated. Therefore, he showed the man polite respect.
