Anybody else?"
A man with gray hair and wearing a cowboy hat raised his hand. His voice was firm despite his obvious age, "It's got to be something with a lot of money. I'd say drugs. That's where the money is these days. If not drugs, then human trafficking."
Isaac nodded, "I think that's right. I don't think it's going to be mules in rental cars with a couple of hundred pounds of coke or weed or a car full of illegal immigrants from Mexico. The offer of ten grand a month means tons of drugs or boatloads of people."
A woman named Isobel Gonzalez raised her hand, offering her thoughts, "That's it. That's the key. They want to bring a really big shipment of something illegal through our county. We have to figure out where they're going to bring it and how. There's only a few ways to haul heavy or bulky loads like that."
Isaac said, "It's going to come in the county inside tractor/trailer trucks or on railroad cars."
The older man raised his hand again and asked, "Why did they do this? There's thousands of both kinds of contraband that come and go every week. Why try to hobble law enforcement? That puts us on alert. They're trying to disguise a weakness. Otherwise, they'd just do it and hope we don't find the shipments."
"Right," Isaac added. "there must be an easy way to spot the shipments which means it must take up a lot of room."
The older man added, "Or smell real bad."
Isaac nodded, "Alright, let's do this. Everyone list those means of transport in your areas that could bring in something really big or really smelly. Send it to me and I'll make sure everyone gets the information."

That night, Isaac came up behind Jada as she did the dishes. He kissed her neck. She enjoyed the kiss and kissed him on the mouth when he finished.
"Men always do that. When women have their hands in dishwater, they decide to be loving and nice. Why do they choose that moment?"
Isaac put his arms around her. "It's because you're at a disadvantage. You don't want to make a mess so you keep your hands in the sink. We can get away with more."
Jada said, "I like it when you try to get away with things."
Isaac stepped behind her and lifted her skirt all the way up. Jada's eyes opened. "What are you doing behind my back?"
"Something we'll both enjoy."
"Wait until I dry my hands so I can help out."
He slipped his hand inside her panties and explored her butt and said, "Maybe I don't want that. Maybe I want your hands to be unavailable."
She grabbed a hand towel, dried her hands, and replied, "I know how we can do the same thing." She stepped quickly to the wall beside the sink and raised her hands over her head.
"If you hold both my hands in one of yours, I'll be helpless. You can do anything you want to me, and I can't stop you."
Isaac held both of her hands and kissed her slowly. He looked in her eyes, "The question is 'what do I want to do to you'. That's interesting. We don't cooperate. You're captured and must endure whatever I want to do to your body."
Jada nodded, "We've never done that. What did you have in mind?"
"Watch."
He could only use one hand, but that was all he needed. He kept his right hand outside of her clothes. He held his hand half an inch away from her left breast. She looked down at it and up and him. He wrapped his hand around her breast and squeezed. He said, "If I've got you helpless, and I can do what I want, I shouldn't do the things I always do. Maybe I need to add a little firmness to my lovemaking."
She said, "How would..." She broke off because Isaac moved his hand up to her pert nipple and gave it a powerful pinch. He stayed just this side of causing her pain. She opened her mouth and her eyes and said, "Ohhh. Ohhh." He kept doing it. Her legs began to twitch and twist. He changed plump breasts and did the other nipple. She began to sweat and said, "We're wearing too many clothes. We need to get on the bed."
He shook his head, "I like these clothes, and I like it here." He dropped his hand
