.I'd rather spend some time with each, rather than deal withthem assembly line.Does that make sense to you?""Very much so," Anastasia said, relieved."I would suggest that you spendquite a bit of time with each of them for at least a week.""I don't know how much time I'll have, day to day," Mike said."But I'llfigure something out.Now, any problems you can't deal with?""Katya is, yes, very much a bitch," Anastasia said, frowning."Also smart andmanipulative.I would have her out of here as soon as possible; she poisonsall around her.""I told her if she gave me any trouble, I wouldn't bother selling her, I'djust put her down like a rabid dog," Mike said."Is it that level of trouble?""Not.quite that bad," Anastasia said, hastily."But she is poisoning thenew girls.She is a problem, but I don't think she should be killed.""Don't put a huge value on her," Mike said, shrugging."Her problem is she'sunderutilized.I don't mean sexually; all the trainers think she's thegreatest thing since sliced bread.But she's got one hell of a mind.Page 115ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlA rabid one, admittedly, but she's intelligent and fast-thinking.Unfortunately," he sighed."She has virtually no education," Anastasia said."So you can't put her in theintelligence and communications section.""Wouldn't think about that, anyway," Mike said."She'd figure out a way toknife me in the back.Let me talk to her after we're done.""I think we are," Anastasia said, smiling faintly."I guess I'll be missingyour company for a while?""I think I'll be a little busy, yeah," Mike said, grinning sheepishly."Idon't hold you as monogamous, though.Feel free to trip up a trainer if you'reof a mind.I know you think I own you, but Idon't.You're a free agent.""I think I'll wait my turn," Anastasia said, sighing."The rest would be acome-down, I'm sure.""Can't find out unless you check," Mike pointed out."I'll go get Katya andhave a little chat.HaveKlavdiya meet me in my suite at dinner."* * *"Damnit, Kat," Mike said when the obviously apprehensive hooker was seated inhis office, "do you want me to have to put you down?""I am trying not to be a problem, Kildar," Katya said, sniffling and droppingher head."Oh, quit the act," Mike said, sharply."We both know it is one.I won't askyou the last time you actually cried.""A long time ago," Katya said.Her head came up and she gave him a poisonouslook."It doesn't do you a bit of good.""Well, you're screwing up my harem and I won't have it," Mike said."Butthat's the only place where there are classes you can attend.""Ihate them," Katya said, angrily."All the other girls are so slow!"Mike started to open his mouth, then closed it.He gave the situation somethought and then blew out, angrily."Okay, in addition to a dozen other duties I have, I'm making you my personalproject," Mike said."That does not, by the way, mean that you're going to behaving sex with me.ButI'll undertake to instruct you.How far along are you in reading?""I can read well in Russian," Katya said, carefully."I don't know all thewords.""Ever heard of a dictionary?" Mike asked."I'm not going to be nice aboutteaching you, by the way.""We don't have a Russian dictionary," Kat snapped back."Or, yes, I'd look thewords up.""I know we've got one around somewhere," Mike said, making a note on a pad."But I'll order a few.What about English?""Only speak little," Kat said in broken English."Not read well.""Next project," Mike said, nodding."You need to get English down.It's the de facto international language.As of now, you're my assistant.Did you understand that?""Yes," Katya answered in English."I need a list of the girls who have not been broached," Mike said."I want tospend a week with each of them.Make up a list and a calendar.I'm going torun it by Anastasia before I go with it, though.If you figure out some way tomake trouble doing that, and it's obvious, Iwill beat the hell out of you.Page 116ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlUnderstand?""Yes, Kildar," Katya said, frowning."Here's a Day-Timer," Mike said, digging in his desk and finding one he'dpicked up free with some office supply orders."I want you to, in general,have the girls lined up in reverse order of age, that is the oldest onesfirst.None who are under sixteen.Did you get that?""Yes, Kildar," Katya replied."Repeat it," Mike said."In English.""To make schedule," Katya said, carefully."Oldest girls to go first.One perweek.Younger be sixteen.""The youngest to be sixteen," Mike corrected."Start with Klavdiya, though.And after lunch, meet me in the workout room.If you're going to be myassistant, you're going to be training with me all the way.Go work on theschedule for now.When you're not working with me, go down to the intelsection and talkEnglish with Vanner in his free time.Got it?""Yes, Kildar," Katya said."Take off," Mike said, turning to his paperwork."And don't get in trouble."* * *Mike ate a sandwich for lunch and then changed into workout gear and headeddown to the weight room.When he got there, Katya was waiting."I have the schedule, Kildar," Katya said, handing him the Day-Timer."I havelisted all the girls in reverse order of age, with Klavdiya first.""Okay," Mike said, flipping through the book and sighing."We're going to workout together, then we'll go do some shooting.Go change into shorts and aT-shirt for this.I suppose you could work out in a skirt, but it's notnormal."Mike was through his warm-up when the girl got back to the room.He looked herover and nodded."Your thighs are pretty solid," Mike said."We'll start today working on upperbody.""Yes, Kildar," Katya said, puzzled."You need to warm up, first," Mike said, leading her over to thecross-trainer.He showed her how to use it and set it for a fifteen-minutelight course."When the time runs out, we'll start warming up your upper body;this is just to get your heart working."He moved over to the circuit training and dialed in his settings, then startedpumping.He'd barely gotten through the triceps workout when Kat was done.Heshowed her how to reset the Nautilus machines and gave her a general weightrange to work with.She noticed that he was moving at least five times herworkout weight."Are you set me low to keep from making strong?" Kat asked, looking at himcoldly."You have to start low," Mike said just as coldly."I'll build you up to themax you're good for.But if you think you're going to pump my level, ever,you're sadly mistaken.You can go ahead and try if you'd like,"he added with a grin.They worked on the circuit for an hour, a light workout for him but about asmuch as Kat could take on her first day."Arms tired," Katya said, working her shoulders.She had sweat dripping downher face and wiped at it with a towel."You just thought you were in shape," Mike said, grinning."Come on."He led her down the corridor to a room at the far end from the intel room thathad been set up as adojo, where there were punching bags and floor pads."I'm going to show you a few fight moves," Mike said [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
