what happened, yes,” I said dryly. “I saw the light. Nothing to do with extortion or blackmail at all.”
    He smiled broadly. “I’m glad you agree.”
    “I don’t,” I said. “I was being ironic.”
    “Well that is a shame, and obviously your opinion.”
    “Are you saying Janus didn’t try to blackmail me?”
    “My dear woman, of course we didn’t. Janus is a legitimate business enterprise with nothing but respect for US and international law. I’m sure you agree that blackmail is a heinous crime, and one Janus would never be a part of.”
    I frowned. Why was McNamara being so deliberately obtuse? What was the point of saying these things that we both knew weren’t true?
    He winked. “Fool me one time shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
    It clicked. “You think I’m wearing a wire, don’t you?”
    He grinned. “The thought had crossed my mind. You don’t get as far as I have in the business world without being able to sniff out a deliberate attempt at entrapment.”
    Just like a rat. “I assure you. I’m not wearing a wire.”
    He leaned forward. I swear I saw him lick his lips. “And just how could I possibly ever know that for sure?”
    An icy feeling began to form in the pit of my stomach. I could practically see the wheels turning in his tiny little head. “You will not touch me.”
    McNamara lifted his huge bulk from the chair with a creak. “Actually, I think I’d better.”
    I stood quickly. It wasn’t too late. I could-
    He looked toward Christian. “Hold her.”
    Christian sprang forward, gripping me from behind. I struggled desperately but couldn’t break his grasp.
    McNamara walked toward me slowly. “Oh, but I’m going to enjoy searching you. I’ve seen those videos so many times now.”
    I spat at McNamara and his face tightened briefly. “Now, now, that’s no way to treat the man about to wipe your debt. You do want all your problems solved, right?” His voice became reasonable. “All I need to do is check you’re not wearing a wire. Once that has happened, we can talk more… openly. If you’re not bugged, you’ve got nothing to worry about.”
    I stopped fighting, though a single tear rolled down my cheek. “Just get it over with,” I said.
    He broke into a grin. “There’s a good girl.” Cigar still in his mouth, he began to run his hands over my body. I closed my eyes, biting my lip at the indignity. He checked both legs, then my back. Finally, I turned to face him again, his hands roving higher, like slime dripping upwards. They crossed my groin and then my stomach, before spending an inordinate amount of time on my breasts. “Just making sure, Josephine. Just making sure. Would you lift your shirt up for me now please? Rest assured, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before. ”
    I suffered his touch like I would that of a doctor—ignoring the humiliation as best I could, in the pursuit of a greater cause. Eventually, he stepped back.  I swear when I looked down I could see a tiny little bulge against the zip of his suit pants . The sight made me want to be sick all over again.
    He moved back behind his desk and sat heavily in his chair. “Thank you Josephine.” Then he turned to Christian. “Would you like to check her too?” he asked suddenly. “I promise it’s much more satisfying in the flesh.” His face split into a leer. A sob escaped my throat. Every ounce of color disappeared suddenly from Christian’s face.
    “I… that is… no, I don’t think so,” he said quickly.
    “Your bad luck!” McNamara said, reaching down to adjust himself before leaning back. “Now, where were we? That’s right—I’m extorting you for those tapes. I can say that now, can’t I you stupid little wench .”
    I paused in the middle of sitting back down. “I’m sorry?”
    “I said, you stupid. Little. Wench . Too dumb to even try to record this conversation. Seriously, what did you even hope to achieve by coming here? And you’ve brought our audio
