There were more than a dozen sizeable American corporations, funneling coin into off support accounts, which was later invested into the oil, onyx market. Exact though the cabbage was reported to the Department of Treasury, on the Deportment ' s rag tariff returns, the transactions, in most cases, stage rail sanctions which the U. S. Direction, itself, had helped put into place.

- The Agency - wanted it stopped.

Action through the legal channels to stop American Corporations from involving themselves in foreign transactions, which was not in the best recreation of the US, was always handled discretely. Legal channels were strikingly time consuming and much violently public. It was easier to call in Parthenia Jenkins.

The matter would be handled in a timely and discretely fashion, with the prong eventuality being either a change in heart, by the top executives, or a alert illness, or sometimes, both.

The US Bridle NEVER requested a certain outcome. The tail end results were recurrently unattended up to the IC ( Independent Contractor ) The Independent Contractors who implied definitely what to do, were often called back, for another $2. 5 million dollar contract.

Parthenia Jenkins was on her fourteenth IC when she finally, meet her match.

No one really knew how many hits she performed a year. However, it was known that not all her cases ended in termination of life. Some high powered men had a change of heart and simple resigned from their high level positions and because of - how - they resigned, their life was spared.

Parthenia was particular anxious to handle her newest assignment. The young CEO was slightly older then herself and was a confirmed bachelor. He was suspected of allowing vast amounts of company profits to be invested in barrels of oil on the black market. As far as the Agency knew the oil was then being resold back to legitimate sources. These were transactions which only major players could afford. And - the Agency ' wanted Tyler Jenson, the CEO of Optics - X, out of the oil business. He would have to find another way to pad his company ' s profit margin. Although it was the company financing the deals, it was often times, the CEO ' s deferred compensation, which was used for the investments.

After some discussion, it was determined that Parthenia would be introduced to the famous Tyler Jenson, as a Financial Planner for the very wealthy. Parthenia felt this to be an acceptable cover in order to get her foot in the door. For sure, being a rich and sexy female Financial Planner, holding licenses in several states, wasn ' t her cup of tea, however she felt the cover would work.

It took Parthenia about a month to prepare. During that month, she mentally, became one, with the famous, CEO.

Parthenia lived, ate and breathed, Tyler Jenson.

When it was finally time to meet Mr. Jenson, everything went as planned. He suggested that they go to lunch, and she complied. Financial Planning could be a little boring, and lunch with a glass of wine was the easiest way to spice things up. Parthenia only had a couple hours to get into the life and mind of Tyler Jenson. Lunch was to her advantage.

Optics - X had over insured Tyler on a professional level, it was his personal investments, which Parthenia would be encouraging him to become more concerned with. Like most wealthy men, Tyler ' s major concern was about what other wealthy men had invested in? Parthenia was ready to play the part.

She talked about more conventional ways, and more acceptable ways to increase his personal wealth, without exposing his wealth to the IRS.

By the time they finished talking business, their food was cold and they were on their second bottle of wine. The restaurant was very private and provided the seclusion for them to speak quietly.

Tyler was interested, in fact he was more interested than Parthenia had expected. He wanted to move quickly with her suggestions, and laid the foundation to make aggressive financial moves, once his private attorney looked over the paperwork.

Parthenia was elated, and could not avoid asking, why he was so anxious to change his investment options, when it came to his deferred income.

Tyler Jenson ' s response was surprising.

He explained that the company ' s attorneys had all but shoved some International investment options down his throat, and he felt obligated to comply because of all the hard work they had put into taking his company public. He confirmed what Parthenia had secretly expected. Certain equations were presented and followed in order to keep the founder of the company in line.

However Tyler had taken his personal attorney ' s advice and met with her and was willing to follow through with her recommendations based on his attorney ' s referral.

Parthenia was elated, and wanted to seal the deal, even before the papers were drawn up. She knew she had to be careful. Moving too fast would cause serious damage to the business relationship. She had to find out if Mr. Jenson was on the same page with her.

Finally, Tyler asked to see her later that evening.

How To Get Started Writing A Mystery Novel

Alive with like to scan novels, and will study them besides and besides, but have the desire to do much more, twin now write a story themselves. The place post bounteous get stuck is at the very beginning, whereabouts do I start? There are about five different ways to help yourself sense and get your ideas down on paper before portion actual story writing takes place. This allows you to see to your thoughts, and acknowledge all the possibilities to maximize the chances of getting your story off the ground. The techniques are not all separate though. They can be used in categorization to help you through the creation process.

The first method that can be used is what is commonly avowed due to free writing. This can be done one of two ways. You can concede yourself over much time considering you want to just let portion ideas that come to brainpower to be jotted down on the paper, or you can time yourself. You can gate five to ten log, and everything that comes to mind that would fit into your story gets written down on your paper. Do not worry if it does not make sense that is not the point of the exercise. The point is to get the creative juices flowing, and giving you the opportunity to branch off any idea you may have put down. Many of the comments you write down will not be used at all in the story, but the more you have the more chances you have of inspiration, and an idea you can work with. It is a great exercise, and it may also help if you run into a writer ' s block. This may get your ideas on paper, but the next part is choosing and organizing the ideas you want to include in your story.

Which brings us to the next technique, mind mapping or the old - fashioned cluster. It starts out with a circle in the middle of the paper. If you know what you want your story to be based around or at least have somewhat of an idea from your free writing exercise then you can use that in the middle of the circle. After that is all done it is time to start branching out. You can draw a line from the middle circle connecting it to another one that is located towards the outside of the paper. In this one who can put an idea that deals with the main story, such as the main plot, or perhaps character introductions, anything really that relates directly with the main idea. You can make as many as you want connecting to the middle circle! Now you can also branch off the secondary ideas, and just keep going, this will give you a rough representation of how your story will weave together, and how it is all interconnected. This works great for very visual people!

The third approach to preparing you ideas for a story is to create the characters. Identify and write down all the personality traits, interest, to really make them something genuine! Do not be afraid to get too in detail, the more you know the characters the easier it is to write about them, or even to create the dialogue of the story. You can make them a profile, which includes likes, dislikes, hobbies, and lifestyle. Another important factor with this system is to know the relationships of each character to the others and how they intertwine. One last part of this method to remember is the perspective! There will be a main character, maybe one, maybe two, but is always good to establish how you want the story to be told. It helps if you imagine the story from all different viewpoints, to really expose yourself and get a better understanding of what you really want.

Next is a plot line. Every story has background information, an introduction, rising action, climax, the falling action, and finally the resolution. It is great to vaguely plot out these sections, so that you have a basic understanding of where the story is going. Of course the events can change, with fiction writing nothing is set in stone, but it definitely helps keep your thoughts on track, and progressively going towards your goal. Getting a little bit detailed can benefit you when you start the writing. A paragraph or two should suffice though.

Finally the last part is creating an outline. It significantly helps if before you go on to a full on book to try writing a few short stories to help get you familiar with the process, and to enhance your writing ability. You can start with the intro and then go into chapters if you want. They do not have to be ten paged chapters, but for a short story they can be about two to three paragraphs long and just bullet the important items you want within that section. You can go about doing this for the whole story, and voila! You have a very basic rough draft of what you want your story to look like. Now all that is left is putting words around it and details!

Since this process can vary from person to person, you may want to add your own personal flavor to it or perhaps you feel comfortable skipping a step, it is simply your choice. Do not forget though to use the resources that you have, such as a dictionary, and thesaurus. If these techniques are applied to the creation process, you will be well on your way to writing a mystery novel.
