Part Seven
It was two months later that Peter sent for the twins to meet him at the yard.
`We have a Wilfred Rawlins in custody who we think has some jewellery stashed away from a robbery in Chiswick. We have no proof but I'm pretty certain he did the job. Now let's see if you can get him to talk.'
Let me think about it for a moment,' Eve said and sat there in thought for several minutes. I can't very well talk to him in a cell. Do you have a seat near the front desk? One where he can be handcuffed for, say that you're transferring him to Hammersmith nick. Then I can be brought in and sat down next to him and handcuffed to his free hand. That way I can let him think that I've been nicked for something. Maybe I can get him to say something. Though we've got to be out of earshot really.'
Yes,' Peter said. That can be done. Right, stay here and I'll get this set up.' He left his office and Adam looked over at Eve.
Do you think you can make him talk?
Well I can try by using his own mind against himself.
How?
By asking the questions as if he's asking them himself.
You didn't ask dad if there's any reward for the recovery.
I'll ask him now, she said as Peter came back into the office.
`Is there a reward leading to the finding of this jewellery?'
`Five thousand pounds if the tipoff is good and we get them back,' he said. She shot a look at Adam and smiled as she dug some lipstick out of her bag and using a compact, did her lips a bit too much.
`Okay. I've got to be handcuffed to him,' she said to Peter and he'd already given out that instruction to the detective constable that entered the office and took Eve away with him.
She was taken out of the building first to be brought round to the front and then hustled in past the front desk and through to what was like a waiting room that had another desk with a sergeant behind it doing some paperwork.
Sit there,' the constable said, giving her a big push towards where Wilfred was handcuffed to a bench. She half fell against him and sat down next to him. Stay there till I get a policewoman out to see to you,' and he pulled out a set of handcuffs and fixed one to her wrist and the other he clipped onto Wilfred's free hand.
Hey! Not to him,' Eve protested. I don't know where he's been!'
Shut up,' the constable said and walked over to the desk sergeant. Keep an eye on her will you.' The sergeant nodded, giving Eve a baleful look as the constable went out.
`Bastards,' Eve muttered.
`What they brought you in for?' Wilfred asked.
`Selling state secrets. What the fuck do you think? Of all the people to try and pick up it was a fucking copper. I'll probably be sent down this time. What are you here for?'
`Waiting for a lift.'
`Funny man. If you're a rapist I'm going to start screaming the place down,' she said pulling hard at his arm as she tried to move further away from him.
`No, you're safe on that score. No, they think I did a jewellery heist but they're not going to prove it.' She moved back towards him.
Hold my hand,' she said now in a small frightened voice. I've never been inside before,' and she held his hand tight.
No, they'll never prove I did it, she said into his mind.
Not in a million years, he said.
They'll never find them, she said, not where I've hidden them.
No. Even she doesn't know they're there.
What was it I said to her when I left? Eve said.
Oh yes. You'll be alright Mrs. Carey. I'll look after you. Derek looked after me when I was down, but now that he's gone, you can depend on me.
How old is she now?
Must be getting on for eighty poor old dear.
`Have you got Wilfred's file handy?' Adam asked his father.
`Yes, here,' he said passing quite a thick bundle over to him. Adam quickly ran through it to find the name Derek Carey, a man who probably had been sent down with him sometime in the past. He found it and the address that Carey had lived at but was a bit dismayed to find that this was fifteen years earlier.
I've got the address Eve, Adam said. Is it the same one from fifteen years ago?
I'll try and find out. Eve went back to try and get it out of Wilfred's head.
God, was that fifteen years ago when I did that job with Derek? Eve said to Wilfred's mind.
Yes, it must have been.
And she's still living in the same old place.
We tried to get her to move but she wouldn't. Born here she said and I'll die here.
Eve let go of his hand and spoke to Adam. Get me out of here.
I think she's had enough time,' Adam said to his father. Can you get her away now.'
`You sure?'
`I think so.' Peter went and called out for WPC Weslow and quickly put her in the picture and she nodded and left. She went downstairs and into where Eve was sitting with Wilfred.
Okay lady,' she said, unlocking the cuff from Wilfred and attaching it to her own hand. Time we moved off.'
`They're not going to send me down are they?' Eve whined as she was led to the door.
Keep your chin up girl,' Wilfred called out. It's not so bad after the first time.'
Eve was hustled out and taken upstairs to Peter's office where the cuff was taken off.
`Have you got his file?' she asked.
`Here,' said Adam.
`Do you mind if I confer with my partner before I say anything?' she asked of Peter.
`No of course not,' he said, sitting back with an amused smile on his face at his two children going into a huddle, wondering how they were going to explain their failure. They were riffling through the file though this was just being done for effect with their father before she finally closed the file and looked across the desk at him.
`We trust you dad, but we don't trust the system. Can we have a witness to hear about the reward money and who gives you the tip.'
Okay,' he laughed and went and called out for Weslow to come back into the office. My children are about to give me a tip off about the Chiswick jewellery theft and want it witnessed that the reward for a successful find of the missing said jewellery is five thousand pounds. Okay? I've said it in front of a witness, now what are you going to tell me?'
`The jewellery is to be found in the house of Mrs Carey of this address and I must add that she doesn't know that they are there.'
`How sure are you?' he said looking at her shrewdly.
`Ninety nine per cent.'
`That'll do for me. Weslow, get a car and round up Craig and Thomas. I'm going for a warrant and you two can go home.'
`No. We're staying here till you tell us if you've found them or not.'
`Alright, but stay in this office.' He went off out and Eve sat back down again.
`I hope you're right,' Adam said.
`Well you heard most of it, what do you think?'
`As you said. Ninety nine per cent. We could do with that reward money as well as dad believing in us.'
So they sat there in his office for two and half hours just waiting until a constable looked in to the office.
`Phone call from your dad. Just pick up the phone.' He left as Eve picked up the black instrument.
`Hello?'
`It's not ninety nine percent Eve. Try one hundred!'
Adam!' she cried, whirling round. They found them!'
`Wonderful!'
`Eve? Eve?'
`Yes dad?'
`You can go home now. I'll be tied up for the rest of the day with this, and oh, thanks. I'll write a letter commending the efforts of the firm of Gemini,' he laughed and so did Eve as she put the phone down and the twins hugged each other at the success of their first real job.
They went home full of joy and quickly went up to his bedroom where they took their clothes off and hugged each other again, pressing their naked bodies up tight together.
Come,' Eve said moving back and sitting down on the edge of the bed facing him. Let me give you a tit roll. Let me see what could have been future Baker's.' She took hold of his erection and pulled him close and placed it between her ample breasts. She then squeezed them together, trapping him there and moved her upper body to encourage him to start moving himself.
So with moving his hips, he technically masturbated himself between her two mounds until he gasped that he was coming and she looked down to see the head of his cock come out of its foreskin between her breasts, the eye opening as if winking at every forward thrust. Then he came, in streams that she tried to catch in her mouth, most of it spraying her on her cheeks and chin. She laughed as it splashed over her and pulled him down to smear his own seed over his face from hers. They then made more love and were showered and dressed and downstairs when Lucille came home.
They deliberately did not say anything to her but waited for Peter to come home, which wasn't that long to wait.
What wonderful children we have,' he said as he kissed his wife. Did they tell you?'
`Tell me what?' she asked, brushing the hair from her face.
`You didn't tell her?' he asked them incredulously.
`That we did some work today? No, we thought that you would like to have told her of your success in finding the stolen goods,' Eve said with a smile.
Minx,' he said with a smile. They've earned today what takes me three months to earn,' he said to Lucille and went on to tell her of the raid on the house of an old woman. `We found the jewellery in a bag in a spare bedroom. We have since charged Rawlins with the theft and he was stunned at us finding out and he doesn't know how.'
The euphoria of this first successful case was diluted when, a month later they learned that their Grandfather Edward had stumbled at the roadside and fell in front of a lorry and was fatally injured. He was in a coma for three days but never regained consciousness before he passed away. It really upset the family being so close knit but it showed how much he had been respected by the sheer volume of cards of condolence as well as visitors to the door.
They kept the funeral private but at the memorial service the following month, even the Prime Minister attended and many of his old colleagues from the Foreign Office were there.
The twins learned between the funeral and the memorial service how much their grandfather had thought of them for at the reading of his will, they found that he had set up a trust fund from the day they were born. It had been quite a considerable sum in those days and now, with the interest ploughed back, it was a small fortune. It was one way of avoiding death duties.
Christmas was a sombre affair with one of their number missing and the twins still got another surprise as a Christmas present. Grandmother Martha had talked this over with her son, Peter and Lucille and they had agreed that Martha could move in with them as she was alone now and let the twins have her house.
`It's far too big and, well, it's empty now for me without your grandfather. You two are still growing and I hope that someday soon, you will have your children to fill the house once again.'
The twins were overjoyed at this and early in the New Year, it was like a house swop. Grandmother moved into their house and they moved into hers.
Now we can have cards printed with this being our office and home,' Adam said. Which bedroom shall we be having?'
`We'll still have to have one each in case we have visitors.'
`Of course,' he replied but was happy now that he had his beloved Eve all to himself once again like at the university.
The insurance company that had dealt with the jewellery stolen by Rawlins, on learning who had found them, gave Gemini another commission. This was a similar thing but between them, the twins found that the family involved were perpetrating a fraud by using paste jewellery. Having the house broken into and these paste items stolen so that they could collect the insurance money and still keep hold of the real ones.
It resulted in the police coming into it and obtained a guilty verdict in court. The owner went to prison, the insurance company saved a lot of money and Gemini earned a nice fat fee.
They loved being in this big house and alone and in this seclusion, Adam really began developing his feminine ways. He wasn't yet nineteen and he liked dressing up as Eve, wearing her underclothes and dresses and in some cases, using make-up. Eve tolerated this because she loved him but also because it would keep him close to her. They quite often romped about just wearing garter belts and stockings as they made love to each other, though not too often because they invariable ruined the stockings they were both wearing. Sometimes he would go out dressed as Eve while she was working on reports. He loved the admiring glances he got from other men and loved the feel of his stockings swishing against each other as he walked along. People he knew would call him Eve but this he could only do on his own for they were too well known for both of them to go out as sisters. It was only at parties that he could do this for the others would know it was just dressing up for a laugh.
He recalled the day at the flat by the university when he was dressed up and Michael called round.
Hello Eve,' he said when she opened the door and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Adam in?'
`Yes, he's expecting you. I'll go tell him you're here,' and she went off to the bedroom. His face was a picture when the two of them walked out into the sitting room.
`Oh gosh! Which is which?' he asked in awe at the two beautiful women in front of him.
`Give each of us a kiss and you tell us,' one of them asked in a neutral voice. So he kissed the first one on the lips and then the second one. Here he felt the tip of a tongue come out from the lips he was kissing.
`This one,' he declared, the second one he had kissed.
Give me your hand,' that one said and put it inside the top of the dress. When he felt the full breast and nipple, he shot backwards pulling his hand out as if scalded. Eve had laughed as his face went all red from embarrassment. Sorry about that Michael, just couldn't resist it. Now I'm off to Paul's, so enjoy yourselves,' and she went off and left the two together.
Oh Michael, I'm sorry too,' said Adam taking him into his arms and giving him a deep passionate kiss. Do you want to see the rest?' he asked as he let him go and pulled the dress off to reveal himself wearing the underwear sporting an incongruous erection sticking out above the stocking tops. He moved closer and rubbed the front of Michael's trousers and felt that he was hard. He unzipped him and pulled his heavy cock out and went down onto his knees and took him into his mouth. Michael gave out a groan at the exquisite manipulations of Adam on the head of his cock. Michael had then gone on to fuck Adam while wearing the underwear and the remembrance of the day was giving Adam a hard on and so he had to stop at a sidewalk café to sit down till his erection subsided for it was pushing out the front of the dress he was wearing. But these forays out into the streets were rare for Adam because of this and he didn't like being too far away from Eve in any case.
In their first six months of starting Gemini, they had just completed their fourth investigation, successfully. For this, when it was related to insurance, their fee was five per cent of the insured value, they collected twelve and half thousand pounds.
It was their third case for the Ransome Insurance Company, each time being recommended by Peter. Now they had been invited to Ransome House in the city so that the principles could meet this successful Gemini company. It hadn't taken the twins long to find out that this insurance company had been started by the Ransome family, the head being Lord Robert Ransome, a onetime Minister in an old government. It was his son, The Right Honourable Rupert Ransome that now headed the company and it was at his request that they pay him a visit.
They made a handsome well dressed couple as they presented themselves at the visitor's desk at the appointed time. They were soon met by a secretary who escorted them up in one of the lifts of Ransome House and shown into the boardroom.
A young man, about twenty five years of age stood up from the large polished table and quickly came round to meet them.
`Thank you Sylvia. Coffee for three please. How do you do Miss Eve Baker,' he said holding out his hand which she shook.
What a lovely girl. The description didn't do her justice, was what she got from his mind as she held his hand briefly. `Mr. Adam Baker. Delighted to meet you,' and shook Adam's hand.
Unbelievable that they look exactly alike, was what Adam got.
`You appear to have done your homework sir,' Eve said with a smile.
Yes,' he grinned. Please sit down. I do like to know who we work with and I do have a small investigative team, though they are a poor lot compared to what you have achieved for us in so short a time. Though they found out enough for me to be intrigued. Ah, here's the coffee, a small thing they found out. Thank you Sylvia. Just leave the tray and we'll help ourselves.'
`Shall I be mother?' Eve asked when the secretary had left the room, and with a nod from Ransome, she poured them out a cup each.
`You intrigued me so much with three successful outcomes for us when our own investigators came up with nothing, and in such a short space of time. Especially when I was informed that you had been recommended by a certain Detective Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard who also happened to have the same surname.
You also declined, in a very nice letter, I might add, the invitation to join our firm after such a wonderful achievement at the university. So when I found out who was responsible for Gemini, I just had to meet you.'
`Your letter was one of over two hundred sir, to which the same answer was given. Though one invite was given us verbally over four years ago to which we also declined,' said Adam.
`Who was that from?' Rupert politely asked.
Our father,' Eve said which made him laugh. He wanted us working with him, which we did twice, unpaid, but we would rather be free agents.'
`Ah, that rather negates my next question,' he said.
`To which the answer would have been no,' Eve said with a smile.
`What was the question to be?' he asked with a smile playing about his own lips.
`That we work solely for you.'
`Close enough which gives me a slight insight to your ability as investigators. I take it that is going to be your final answer?'
`I'm afraid so,' she said.
Well I'm glad to have met you anyway, disappointed though I am. Let's hope we can meet again sometime,' he said standing up and holding out his hand. Eve took it. Will she? was the question she heard him saying to himself. Look. We're having a small get together at Ransome Hall next weekend. I would be most pleased if you would accept, both of you.' Please say yes. I can't just let you go away like this. Please!
`We'd be delighted,' she said, inwardly smiling, liking this man. Wonderful! he said as he let go of her hand and shook Adam's.
I'll have the car pick you up at, say four thirty Friday. We have your address,' he laughed. See you on Friday then,' and he escorted them out of the boardroom where Sylvia took over and took them back down to the lobby.
He fancies you, Adam said.
I know, nice isn't it? she replied.
For you maybe. Are his intentions honourable?
Oh definitely. Now let's go and buy you a decent dinner suit and a dress for me.
Or vice versa, he said with a grin and got a slap on the arm for that. So after a snack in a pub, they spent the rest of the day shopping. They needed two suitcases to carry the lot home and didn't get in till early evening where they checked out just what they had bought. Pity we can't both go wearing these dresses Adam said wistfully as he held one up against himself. He begged so much that she had to give in to him for he wanted to try one on. She had to give a gasp for he really did look beautiful in the one that he wore to show off to her.
`Look what it's done for me,' he said as he lifted up the front to reveal that he had an erection. That was enough for her and she went down underneath the dress and sucked upon him till he came, her head bobbing underneath the material.
Okay, you've had your fun and pleasure, now take it off. I don't want it covered in semen stains.' As he took the dress off, Eve took hers off and stood in front of him with just her belt and stockings on. My turn now,' she said as she lay back on the bed, her breasts wobbling nicely as she opened her legs for him. He dutifully went onto his knees and put his head between her stockinged thighs and opened her sex with his fingers and dived in with his tongue.
She had her orgasm but had to play with his penis for an hour as he sucked and nibbled on her breasts before he was up and ready for her to have him inside again to give her another orgasm and him have his second one too.
God I do love you, he said as he lay on top of her while still inside.
I love you too, she said as she stroked his back. You've got stronger as you've got older.
And you've grown more beautiful, he said as he kissed her.
