The Master Switch Manoeuvre (Sayaka and Ethan (and Milo))

Perched on crates labelled with 'Summer Splash' logos, Sayaka and Ethan waited for Milo Danvers to return, and presumably have his way with the twins.

Sayaka was clad now in a one-piece bathing costume and sandals and she had at least regained something of her dignity. She contemplated that every second she spent without victory against Emi was a tick towards defeat. Ethan, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed by the competitive streak, his attention captured by a half-deflated beach ball that he lazily tossed up and down in periodic rhythm. They had propped the storeroom door open a pinch so that they could hear what was happening out in the corridor.

They shared the space in a strained silence, waiting for the door to the adjacent office to swing open. Sayaka's ear cocked at every muffled sound, anticipating the appearance of Milo Danvers, Wet "N" Antics' digital product engineer extraordinaire. Milo was the key to unlocking the door at the end of the corridor and Sayaka gaining access to Emi, and in turn Ethan gaining access to her pussy.

They didn’t need to wait too long, soon enough Milo did indeed return to the Restricted Product suites as Sayaka had predicted. Sayaka held a finger up to Ethan, “I guess he’ll be a little time with Hani, and Suki,” she whispered pragmatically.

“Lucky bastard,” muttered Ethan.

More long minutes stretched out, and Ethan imagined he could hear a slight reverberation and moans, maybe a squeal coming from the office. His cock was stirring again. Eventually though they heard the office door to the digital product development office open out again.

Sayaka gave a nod and the two of them emerged to intercept the lanky tech expert.

Milo's had emerged with a congenial smile, which grew wider for a second when he saw the good looking Sayaka approach him in a bathing-suit. Seeing Ethan, with a breeding pass though his face soured slightly.

“You fuck her already?” he said impolitely. Ethan nodded.

“Excuse me Milo, but regardless of anything else I am still a Senior Business Manager,” said Sayaka.

Milo snorted with derision, “yeah, and you’re knocked up by a colleague and in a restricted area. I don’t think I need to stand on rank too much bitch.”

Ethan punched Milo in the stomach, surprising everyone, not least Ethan himself. The tech expert doubled up, and dropped his Breeding Pass.

Sayaka reacted the fastest and recovered the Pass. “The first Pass I came across today I cut in half. I might do the same again,” she warned Milo.

“Well, there’s dozens out in the office,” muttered Milo slowly getting up, Ethan’s punch hadn’t been very hard, just enough to get his attention. He eyed up Ethan and realised the Sales Support Manager had about an additional 35 pounds on him and only about half of it was flab.

“Yes, well Milo,” said Sayaka in full managerial mode, “maybe myself and Ethan will follow you around all afternoon and cut up all of those Passes you recover as well.”

Milo looked aghast, throwing a pleading look to Ethan who shrugged.

“Or,” continued Sayaka, “you can answer a few simple questions from your superior and then you can be on with whatever you had planned this afternoon.”

“Fine, fine, whatever you need,” said Milo.

“We need to open that door,” said Sayaka pointing at the restricted door at the end of the corridor.

“The door to Keiko’s office and the Japanese boardroom?” Milo said. He paused then walked the corridor right up to it. He tried his phone against it. The light turned an unhelpful red, then blue then dimmed. “Can’t be done,” he said, “Emi locked it with a double security lock from the inside. Emi has Keiko’s phone so the only other override device is Yumi’s.”

“She’s out of the office this morning,” said Sayaka.

“Then you’re shit out of luck bi…” Milo threw a glance at Ethan, “…Ms. Mori,” he wisely finished the statement more politely than he had intended.

"But there must be another way?" Sayaka's voice hinted at a mix of desperation and command.

With a shrug that housed a world of sarcasm, Milo said, “well, the other standard operating procedure in a case like this would be bashing through the plasterboard, unscrewing the digital lock housing, and pulling the red cable and flicking the safety master switch. And then, of course, you'd need a heavy magnet to reset the lock. After that you just need to explain to a judge why you decided to commit Federal Computer Fraud and ****, breaking and entering with an intent to commit corporate espionage, and of course garden variety vandalism."

Sayaka's eyes lit up with a feral intensity, “what kind of heavy magnet Milo?” she asked.

Milo opened his mouth to object then shook his head in disbelief. Finally with a sigh he said, “you’ll need a Grade N52 Neodymium magnet. We use them for some experiments with fluid dynamics. There’s one in Product Testing Storage Room 12/6. The green locker, code is 445. And I didn’t tell you that!”

Sayaka handed Milo back his Pass, “You’ve been very helpful. Thank you, Milo.”

“You know there are restricted service lifts down to the car park and service basement in there as well,” said Milo throwing a nod towards the door at the end of the corridor “what makes you think Emi hasn’t already left the building?”

“Because she knows if Yumi isn’t bred by the end of the day then she won’t have a job tomorrow,” said Sayaka, “I probably can’t prevent that from happening, but I can make sure Emi is in the same boat as everyone else when the boss gets back!”
