Pam’s Night Out
He sat in his big leather chair in front of the solid high polished oak desk. He lifted the report and read:
Surveillance Report
PROJECT: Pam’s Night Out
CODE NAME: Angel
****
Saturday January 6th the commission, Pam Portis and her male escort a one Mr. James Hawkins, AKA Ice Hawk of Storm Watch, also carries the title of U.S. Marshall, Have made reservations for, four at the Four Seasons. He as reserved his black Lincoln Limousine as usual for their use tonight.
I followed them to the warehouse section of town. I am still not quite sure from which building but a one Linda Parker and Simon Catling joined the limo. Linda Parker also is Pam Portis, new dance Manger. Linda is a sixteen-year-old high school drop out and run away from foster care. Simon Catling is boy genius. He is sixteen and is working on a Degree at U of W. From this point the limousine took them to the four seasons.
The Four Seasons is a multiplex of Upper Middle class and Yuppies. It has a few over priced shops an excellent Japanese Steak House. It offers a Dance club with modern music, DJ booth suspend above dance floor with a bar. There is wait staff that travel around the whole building taking drink orders for those just sitting around the enjoying the atmosphere of the Complex.
With a flip of a switch a tape began to play:
****
Pam appeared in the doorway wearing an ice blue stain full-length dress with slits up each side, “Ready when you are.”
Icehawk checked his tie in the mirror. Pam spun slowly around in her satin dress as his eyes moved up her form. “Breathtaking.” He whispered as he watched the light shimmering on the curves. “You have to be the most beautiful woman in Seattle.” Pam blushed. James held his hand out. “Fun time.”
She took his hand with out thought; “Can I live through all of it?” Pam played with the snowflake necklace around her neck.
“Gee, I hope so!” James smiled at her.

The tape froze frame as he pressed another button for the tape player:

Linda voice was clear; “Ice man and Pam are bringing a limo. Let’s go inside and wait.” The sound of a sweet kiss echoed over the tape.
Simon’s voice shook a little, “How do you like my suit?”
“Okay Simon, You’re handsome as ever.” The heavy breathing and silence indicated a much more intense kiss. In a sexy tone Linda whispered, “We are going to have sooooo much fun tonight.”
Cat voice crackled; “Please behave yourself.”
Linda spoke softly; “I am behaving. Come on Simon loosen up.”
Simon spoke while looking around, “Let’s go before Willy show’s up.”
“Come on, one little kiss.” Linda pleaded.
Icehawk murmured “Doomed, doomed.”
Pam cleared her throat, “Come on kids.”
Linda frowned, “You got rotten timing.”
Icehawk chuckled, “Did we interrupt anything?”
“Let us hope.” Pam remarked
“Good evening, Linda.” James smiled.
“HI Ice man.”
“You are looking ravishing.” The complement rolled from his lips.
“You’re looking coooool to.”
“Good evening, Simon…you look like you have had a hard day…” James joked.
Simon chuckled, “Next thing you’ll say is that I’m the Cat’s meow.”
Icehawk chuckled, “In, my friend.”
Pam inquired, “You have id Linda?”
“Yep one ID for Cat saying 22 and one for me. I am 21.”
Simon asked, “Are we going someplace to drink?”
“Yeah, right.” James smirked.
“Gee you don’t have a clue.” Linda started off. “This is just the kewlest place ever. You have to have pull just to eat at the steakhouse and the club it is like the ultimate place to dance.”
“Couldn’t we have just gone to a teen dance hall?” inquired Simon.
“Simon.” Linda added, “This is way better.”
“Ok, I guess. Are you sure?”
“You’ll see.” She said self-assured and than lowered her tone, “Yeahhhh, I’m sure.”
“Been planning this long, Linda?” asked James.
“Like a for ever. Just needed the backing to go.”
“Maybe we could make it a regular gig.” James offered, “If you like the place.”
“Sure, love to. It’s a regular date.”
“IF you like it.” James stressed.
“We will have a blast. What’s not to like? Dang!”
Linda voice started going into overdrive.

The tape player stopped as he continued on with the report:
*****
The group entered the Four seasons and they made their way to the Steakhouse. The table was not ready and went to the east wing to a waiting area. There Linda Parker used a Fake ID to obtain an alcoholic beverage. The two females excused them self from the male counter parts and entered the ladies room.
From the conversation that took place in the bathroom, Pam Portis is also a High School drop out and a run away. Though considering her current age it as no significance to this investigation other than a point of interest.
They rejoined the men, shortly after they were seated. James Hawkins seemed quite familiar with the cuisine. The dinner was quiet. They proceeded to the dance club where both couples. Enjoyed a couple of dances before three of the Pro Guard Officers interrupted there evening.

Again the report is laid aside as an enhanced security video from the mall begins to play.
****
The dance club is hopping. There is a counter that lines the outer wall and a bar to the north. A few stand up tables dot the room, no chairs in sight.
Simon pulled Linda onto the dance floor he danced with his body up against Linda. He used a few Kung Fu moves but followed Linda’s moves very closely. Pam starts to move to the music. James followed Pam. Linda gets into the dance though no way as good as Pam.
Linda smiled dancing away with Simon happily. Pam moved into the music. The first dance goes great for all. The second dance goes good. James edging very close to Pam, his eyes only on her. Simon grabbed Linda and gave her a big kiss after the music stopped.
The third dance begins. Pam moves into the music and gets lost in the dance as the floor clears to her. James smiled, giving her plenty of room. Pam’s eyes are close making moves in a graceful motion as if practiced for this moment all her life. Simon stopped dancing watching Pam, pressing himself to Linda’s back.
All raised their hands in applaud. Pam smiled brightly as James moved to her.
A man cuts James off as he approached to Pam. The guy takes Pam and speak. James hand goes tot he guys shoulder, his hand barring down in a squeeze. He looked to his shoulder for a moment and than turned to James. Words are exchanged and the man laughed at James. Simon scanned the area as James a punched at the guy.
Pam pulled her arm but he had her tight. James makes a snowball and tossed it up and down. Simon backed away looking to the man’s friends that are closing in. The people in the dance club see the fight start and run. Two men watch for a moment, they move towards the dance floor.
The video view splits. One side raced on with the battle inside the dance club the other showed Simon slipped out into the main corridor. His suit ripped as his form quickly changed to Cat. The girls ran deeper in the mall.
*****
The tape froze frame as the man shook his head, “A U.S. Marshall throwing the first punch. Tisk, Tisk, Tisk. Gee Whiz, I wonder where Clark went, Lois.” His eyes stared at the frozen Cat form on the screen. The man chuckled as he pressed a button. “Gail, I need the Mall tape adjusted before its return. Please have Jimmy report to me.” The man picked up the report again.
Two Pro Guard agents where apprehended. Both where let go on technically. The third, which addressed Pam Portis left the scene. It is assumed he is also Pro Guard and goes by the nickname, “Chuckie.” A full report on each of the two guard arrested is attached.
After securing the two assailants with ice, the four left the mall and waited in the Limousine till traffic cleared enough to let them pass. Unfortunately do to circumstance beyond my control I was unable to continue my surveillance of Pam Portis.
The tall thin young man pulled out the file drawer labeled Angel and filed the report and tapes away.
