MaryBlue had expressed a deep desire to see her "friends" cheating ex suffer and to be taught a lesson. Once she had discussed the details and worked a suitable arrangement with the spectacled representative in Bender's Philly branch of "Chumps 'R' Us" she signed the contract, paid with cash, in full and was reassured the rest would be taken care of.

Monday:

04:00 am.

A man wearing an all black breaking and entering get-up, complete with black balaclava, gloves and boots entered the apartment of the 'new' girlfriend of the cheating ex. She wasn't really the one responsible for the betrayal felt by MaryBlue's "friend" but she wasn't entirely blameless, either. As according to the plan, the man, code named "Smith" crept into the bathroom of the new squeeze. He had with him a sample of the herpes virus on a cloth which he kept sealed in a sample jar. He took his black gloves off, put on a pair of medical gloves, a mask and took a pair of tongs out of his bag. He swabbed the toilet seat thoroughly to ensure it had been completely contaminated. He then packed the sample away, carefully put the gloves in the jar along with the mask, then put his black gloves back on. He then packed everything away and exited silently.

08:00 am.

After taking a short nap in his car across the street, 'Smith' watched as the cheating ex boyfriend's new bit left for work. Once he was sure she had gone and hadn't forgotten anything he exited the car with his duffle bag and another bag under his arm. He crossed the street, picked the lock on the front door and went up stairs. Putting on a second batch of his temporary anti-contamination gear he removed the toilet seat and replaced it with a new identical seat. Carefully he put the items he was wearing into the duffle bag, as well as wrapped up the old toilet seat.

MaryBlue had insisted there was to be no chance of anyone else who might use the toilet becoming infected also.

After leaving, 'Smith' drove a short way, pulled up at the curb, left the car running as he jumped out with the duffle bag and wrapped up toilet seat. He threw tho lot in a trash dumpster. As he did he thought to himself,

I hope no poor shmucks looking for food or useful goods checks in there before the trash removal men get to it

Wednesday:

The new girlfriend had been feeling uncomfortable all day. She wasn't sure what was going on. Losing patience and feeling fed up with fidgeting, trying not to scratch and feeling generally uncomfortable, she had gone home on her lunch break to change her clothes, thinking maybe it was that.

After returning to work it hadn't stopped, so she asked to leave work claiming she felt unwell. She decided to go to her private doctor who fortunately had free time to give check up. After examining her and taking a few samples the doctor reassured her it was probably nothing to worry about and that the tests would take some time to complete. In the mean time to use a cream he gave to her to sooth the inflamation and to avoid tighter clothing which may chafe.

Saturday:

09:00 am

MaryBlue had been greatly helpful to "Chumps 'R' Us" with obtaining useful information about the new girlfriend. Using this information Bender's investigators had managed to locate the girlfriend's parents house and keep tabs on them through out the week. Her mother and father were creatures of habit. The dad, an ex-military man always went for a jog in the morning. Staying in shape during his retirement was a source of pride for him. Knowing this, one of Bender's assets was instructed that he'd start taking jogs on the same route through the near by park. Before leaving he got himself a buzz cut, a plain green tee and dark green combat trousers. As planned he had a chance encounter with the father. Politely engaging him in chat as they jogged together. He had made sure to use the key phrases he'd been instructed to.

"I only got my act together because my father-in-law gave me an opportunity to prove myself worthy"

"If it wasn't for the one conversation we had that one evening at his house..."

"Get on like we were in the trenches together"

Filling the man's heads with notions that all it took to make sure his baby girl was dating a good man was to give him a chance to prove he was worth dating.

"Well see ya around, old man!" The man picked up his pace, leaving the old man behind to contemplate the words he'd absorbed.

Saturday:

09:15 am

Whilst the girlfriend's father was being bombarded with ideas by another of Bender's agents, two more of Bender's employees found them selves going door to door, offering out free food as part of a charitable good will to all in the neighbourhood, scheme. They were only offering out a tin of this or a bunch of that to a few houses before the target house, just in time for the mother to see it and wonder what was going on.

Once they had reached the woman standing with her car keys in the car door they explained that they came from a missionary which had the goal of promoting generosity and family values. They revealed they had quite a generous donation from an anonymous benefactor who insisted we share the food with people and expressed a desire that they invite people to share in the feast with them.

"Oh, well that will save me shopping for a chicken at the store today... Thank you so very much!" The mother-in-law felt incredibly lucky as it genuinely was good timing for her that she'd be offered a chicken, and unbeknownst to her a LOT more food than anyone else around here would be offered. She didn't seem too interested in the other houses, believing that everyone was being given the same or similar goodies. She thanked the strangers for their charitable donations and promised she'd share it with her entire family.

With that the "Chumps 'R' Us" workers left, knowing they needed to go steal a police car and a couple of uniforms for tomorrows job, so long as the bait was taken.

Saturday:

Evening Time

Whilst at her apartment with her new boyfriend, the cheating ex boyfriend, there was a phonecall. It seemed that after talking to each other about the beginning of their day it felt too much like fate, or God giving signs to the old couple that they should ignore the opportunity to invite their daughter and her new boyfriend around for a sunday dinner with the rest of the family.

What the ex boyfriend hadn't realised was how lowly her parents felt about him. His new girlfriend shared everything with her family, including the fact that they had began the relationship as an affair and that he had left MaryBlue's "friend" for her. She was just excited to see her parents giving him a chance to meet in person and accepted the invitation without any thought.

Sunday:

Whilst meeting her folks

"Smith" had once again been employed to assist with the job. He was instructed to pick the lock on the front door of the parents house, hide inside the house and wait for the cheating ex and his new girlfriend to show up. Whilst waiting he was to locate the mother's room, find her jewellery box or where ever she kept her jewels, find the most expensive looking piece in there and to wait.

Once the pleasantries had been exchanged and the coats, hats and shoes had been removed "Smith" was to slip the item into the jacket pocket of the cheating ex.

Once the item was semi-secured in the pocket so that it would fall out as soon as the coat had been picked up, "Smith" had to wait for an opportunity to slip a small amount of laxative in the drink of the ex boyfriend. It wasn't to humorously keep him in the toilet to embarrass him, but rather just to make sure he had to "go" and make him stay up there JUST long enough for his new girlfriend's family to notice the fact he was gone for a while.

During the dinner its self, the laxative had taken effect and the cheating ex asked to be excused and scurried away rather quickly to the bathroom upstairs. He didn't even bother to wait to be told where it was located. During this time "Smith" motioned out the front window to another employ of Bender's, who was waiting across the street. that it was time.

They rode their bike quickly to the corner of the block where there was a payphone. They rang up and asked to speak to the girlfriend. Once she came to the phone. The man explained he was the doctor and had tried to call her at her home but got no answer and used the files he had for her parents to obtain the phone number for there. She didn't seem to notice that's not how a doctor's office worked as she was interested in hearing what he had to say.

He began explaining that the results were in and that she had been infected with the herpes virus and it was most likely sexually transmitted. So she needed to contact any recent sexual partners to get themselves checked out, also.

"WHAT?! HE SAID HE STOPPED SEEING OTHER WOMEN AND HER!!!" At this point her parents had over heard her shouting down the phone and didn't hesitate to believe that the boyfriend was probably no good and still seeing the ex girlfriend he supposedly left for her.

After the ex boyfriend came down stairs, he was greeted by a group of people with stern faces, glaring at him menacingly. His new girlfriend was literally shaking with rage, teeth clenched and fists balled up. She screamed at him, calling him a variety of colourful names and demanding he get out and NEVER talk to her again.

He protested but knew it wasn't going to help. So he put his shoes on, took his hat and grabbed his coat.

As he grabbed his coat a jewel studded necklace that belonged to the mother fell out of the pocket, as well as a risque picture of her younger self she'd taken for her husband whilst he was out in the trenches of europe. Without much of a leg to stand on the father jumped him, tackling him to the ground and pummeling him.

"We try and give you the benefit of the doubt, we invite you into OUR home and THIS is how you repay us?!"

Smith had been listening quietly from the empty frontroom, near the windows. There was no way to know if he'd just be told to get out of the house, or if they'd hold him there and call the police. So he had arranged two of Bender's employees to dress in police uniforms and steal a cop car to be able to conveniently drive-by the neighbourhood as he was being thrown out. Fortunately for them the ex military father was more than strong enough to handle the ex boyfriend and kept him where he was until the police arrived.

With that, "Smith" and the other employees exited the area. Leaving the rest to the police and the testomony of the family members.

Sunday:

Evening

After being processed and charges pressed against him. The ex boyfriend was thrown into holding. MaryBlue had insisted that he REALLY needed to suffer some broken bones as payment for the hurt he caused her "friend" as well as being framed in an embarrasing way.

When the family had all gone, Bender visited the holding cell where he was being kept. Bender lit a stogie and explained to the thugs sitting in the cell that he had amazing powers when it came to getting people broken out of jail.

He offered that along with being set free before reaching the big boy prison, they'd be given a small sum of cash with which they could disappear. In exchange they only needed to do more damage to the cheating ex boyfriends bones than anyone else in the cell, but importantly, he HAD to remain alive to be tried for the crimes he was charged with. If he died the deal would be off.

"You!? It was you? Why did you do this to me??" Said the cheating ex, angrily.

The men held back his arms and took turns pummeling his mid section. Bender told him "For cheating on MaryBlue's friend"

"Her friend? What the hell does her friend have to do with it? It's none of her damned business what happened between me and Mar" CRACK went the sound of one of the thugs hands against the side of his face.

After a few minutes of wailing on the now unconscious cheating ex, the group unanimously agreed they'd done pretty even amounts of damage to his knees, ribs, shins and fingers.

Bender agreed. He told them that all of their transports would fail to reach it's destination with them on board as a thanks for helping out with this.

Bender snapped a few pictures of the bloodied and bruised cheating ex, slumped over on his side on the cell floor.

"Neat!"

He then exited, tipping the guard a few hundred bucks for looking the other way for the last few minutes, as he did.

The pictures were mailed to MaryBlue with a note attached.
