Follow ShortfictionUk on Twitter OPERATION FRAULINE PART ONE HUNTING WE WILL GO! They sat around the large boardroom table in total silence, waiting for the chairman to appear, waiting to hear the results of their latest operations and the profits that would come with them. The large ornate doors opened to reveal the chairman; he stood in the doorway examining the 9 figures seated at the table. They stood up as he entered to show their respect for the head of this organisation the head of the worldfs most insidious and well organised crime syndicate N.E.M.E.S.I.S. The chairman was a very distinguished looking individual sporting a well cut grey suit with matching waist coat and a watch chain was attached. A man who was meticulous in everything from the way he dressed, to the way he spoke, he expected perfection from everyone around and that was the way it was. There was no room for second bests here failure was not an option with any operation. To fail in this organisation meant death and everyone in the room had accepted that the moment they took their positions as heads of the 9 separate units that made up the organisation. The chairman was perhaps around 50 if he was older he bore his years very well indeed. He had short grey hair with a right hand side parting a style he favoured from his youth. His dark brown eyes, showed a deep wisdom of a man who had experienced much during his life and his full beard gave him the a look of a very learned university professor or as some had whispered he resembled images of King Arthurfs Merlin the Magician and judging from his long tenure as the organisations longest serving chairman the comparison was not without merit. In his 20 years of leader ship the organisation had become bigger and more powerful than any other organised crime syndicate in the world even the Mafia and Yakuza did not trifle N.E.M.E.S.I.S. instead their leaders had been forced to join up or be removed from office (A favourite line of the chairmanfs) The chairman approached the end of the table and motioned his colleagues to be seated. "Welcome gentleman today we will begin with discussing a rather unpleasant problem that has up till not been dealt with satisfactorily refer to Wonder Woman." No one spoke the subject was one of great debate and had been voted on very recently only the chairman had not been present at the time. "We already voted on the matter and decided to waste the bitch OK!" All heads turned to face Handro head of theUSsyndicates. Handro hailed from Texas and as begot people from that state of the US he was loud pompous and brash, he took no crap as he was so fond of saying and as was common knowledge saw himself as the next chairman. "Yes you voted to eliminate Wonder Woman, against my specific instructions to leave her be, and while I was absent." The quiet tone used by the Chairman told everyone that he was furious and that was very bad for the recipient. "We voted unanimously to remove a direct threat to this organisation" Retorted Handro "Unanimously was it? Are you sure about that?" The Chairman was now looking directly at Handro his fingers steep led as if in deep contemplation. Those who knew the chairman realised that things were really bad, he was gunning for blood and Handro was to be the target. "The rules of this council are that any eliminations MUST be carried unanimously that is ALL MEMBERS including myself vote and TOTAL agreement must be reached, you have all acted in a most hasty manner which could have of put this whole organisation at severe risk.h The chairman was infuriated never had the council acted in such a stupid manner in the past. "Ahh Bullll SssHitt chairman we all agreed to wax Wonder Woman in a special emergency meeting your presence wasn't required the rules allow for that. "Handro was getting into his big boss act no one was going to push him around certainly no queer boy Brit chairman. The chairman waited forming his words carefully before speaking. "The emergency you refer to did not actually exist, not only that but not all of you voted in favour in fact I know one of you was dead set against it." "That is so chairman san." Kadushi Takasawa spoke, as head of all the Japanese yakuza and it was said that his family descended from the once great samurai families of ancientJapan. Takasawa was the youngest member of the council but was well known for his brilliant insight and ability to deal with the vast network of the organisation and was tipped highly to replace the ageing chairman when the time came. At the vote he had been against killing Wonder Woman arguing that to kill through assassination was not honourable. Wonder woman was a warrior and she should be faced in battle with honour not killed by a coward hiding in the shadows. "The attempt to kill Wonder Woman was stupid and ill conceived" Began the chairman but he was quickly cut off by Handro. "Now wait a minute we agreed that the bitch should be waxed, shefs a danger and needed to be taken care of." "Taken care of." retorted the chairman with disgust "The American disposition for violence and overkill never ceases to amaze me, instead of using a little brain you use brawn, charge in like the 7th cavalry and tear the place apart like from a scene from one of your Hollywood movies." "This is not a movie and you are not John Wayne or Rambo, we do not eliminate unless all are in agreement having weighed up the consequences first." "Consequences Shonsequences we remove a threat period." Replied Handro. "The consequences are quite real I assure you." Began the chairman "Wonder Woman is a symbol of good, truth, justice and all that other nonsense that people believe in, If we had killed her as you all had wanted to do the results would been catastrophic. The retaliation by EVERY law enforcement agency in the world would have been incalculable and would mean that they would not rest coming after us and we would be unlikely to survive intact for long under such an onslaught. It is very fortunate for us all that Handro's ridiculously ineffectual assassins failed in their bid to kill Wonder Woman and now are housed in a US federal penetentiary, she however lives and remains a thorn in our side." "Forgive me chairman san but as assassination is out of the question how you do propose dealing with Wonder woman?" Asked Takasawa. "How about asking her to Buckingham palace for tea and crumpets with the Queen." Handro Laughed out loud finding his little quip amusing, no one else laughed. gWhat I propose is an altogether quite different approach to our mutual problem, but before I explain considers this." With that the chairman produced a chess piece in his hand. "In a game of chess the players have an equal size army to move around the board, the winner is decided by who moves his pieces the most skilfully, through cunning and knowing when to sacrifice pieces to achieve a goal. In our game with the world authorities the balance has been upset their queen i.e. wonder woman who has been used very effectively against us. By removing the queen of your opponent you deprive him of the most powerful piece on the board and victory is a very a strong possibility if you then prevent your opponent from consolidating his remaining forces the advantage & indeed the game is yours." The chairman paused for dramatic effect "In effect gentleman I propose we remove Wonder Woman from the game, not by assassination but by a more subtle method." "I propose that we capture Wonder Woman." To be cont...
