JUSTICE GABRIELLE DEMONSTRATES HER AUTHORITY IN THE CONGO by Hamlet Joyann Manita and Gabrielle were now ready to depart for Bukavu from the airport. They were met at the VIP lounge by Colonel Gizenga of the Congolese Paramilitary Police He was so fat with a large stomach and was a chain smoker. Gabrielle had nothing but contempt for him, regarding him as totally incompetent and not prepared to do nothing about the ADF guerrillas. She had caught him drinking on duty and had warned him that if she caught him drunk again, she would give him a damned good Face Slapping. He in turn called 'the Norsi cow 'la vache nordique' in private of course and regarded her as a complete pain in the arse and resented the way she as a foreigner treated him as a subordinate in his own country! What was worse being a macho Congolese he resented the fact that she was much bigger than him. Were these Norse Women actually, women or female gorillas or what! What had annoyed him even more was that she had marched into the Police headquarters in Bukavu and had ordered him to hand over Amado the ADF guerrilla leader Baluku''s son to her or he would face some serious CBT (Cock and Ball Torture)! When he had hesitated, she had put her leather gloved hand down his trousers making him scream with pain. She had personally dragged Amado out of the jail, thrown him over her Hardanger motorbike and then taken him to the JLHQ (Justice League Headquarters) in Bukavu as her prisoner where she had put him through serious NRB (Norselandic Rope Bondage) until he could not move a centimetre and then dumped him in a cell. She went straight up to Gizenga in her usual threatening way. 'Well Gizenga these are my two Colleagues Joyann Reed and Manita Murderhaard. They have just arrived in the country to free Dr Hammarskjold and to kill all the members of the ADF!'. . 'Eh bien Gizenga, ce sont mes deux coll�gues Joyann Reed et Manita Murderhaard. Ils viennent d'arriver dans le pays pour lib�rer le Dr Hammarskjold et tuer tous les membres des ADF! . 'We will be doing the work that your police and army have failed so miserably and to bring law and order to this country at last! You will cooperate with us fully in Our Mission won't you and do exactly as I tell you?' 'Nous ferons le travail que votre police et votre arm�e ont si lamentablement �chou� et pour enfin faire r�gner l'ordre dans ce pays! Vous collaborerez pleinement avec nous dans notre mission, n'est-ce pas, et ferez-vous exactement ce que JE vous dite� !' 'Err yes um Justice ' 'Euh oui euh Justice' 'You'd better address me correctly Gizenga or you know what I will do to you!.' 'Vous feraites mieux de m'adresser correctement Gizenga ou tu sais ce que je vais te faire� !. She moved right against him pushing her superior powerful leather clad body against his. He was terrified that the next second her leather gloved hand would be down his trousers and he would have to experience even more CBT! 'YES JUSTICE GABRIELLE!! 'OUI JUSTICEGABRIELLE!! It was not long before Gabrielle had reached Bukavu after driving Joyann and Manita from the airport. As she drove into the city down the Route de Katana, she spoke to them about the city itself 'Ladies as you can see this is a lovely city and is easily the most scenic town in the whole of the Congo,. You can see lovely Lake Kivu with Rwanda in the distance', 'Damer som deren kanen se dette er en nydelig by og er lett den mest naturskjoonne byen i hele Kongo,. Deren kanen se nydelige Kivu-sjooen med Rwanda paa avstand.' ' 'Just to give you a little history it was founded in 1901 at the time of the Belgian Congo and originally called Costermansville.The area is famous for gorillas at the Kahuzi Binga Natural Park where I will take you after we have completed our Mission and rescued Dr Hammarskjold.' 'Bare for aa gi deg en liten sogu, ble den grunnlagt i 1901 paa det belgiske Kongo-tiden og opprinnelig kalt Costermansville. Omraadet er kjent for gorillaer i Kahuzi Binga naturpark, hvor jeg vil ta deg etter at vi har fullfoort vaart oppdrag og reddet Dr Hammarskjold.' 'Even though it is peaceful now it has seen war in the past following the� Rwandan genocide in 1994.� Hutu� refugees� and many members of the former Hutu-led government fled here.The Rwandan government forces under the Tutsi consequently attacked the Hutu camps, and forces of the then� Zaire� government which allowed the insurgency. The Rwandan government supported the rebels in Zaire who overthrew the Kinshasa government with their help, leading to the� Second Congo War and the overthrow of Mobutu in 1997 after he had been dictator since 1965 'Selv om det er fredelig naa, har det sett krig i fortiden etter folkemordet i Rwandan i 1994 Hutu-flyktningene og mange medlemmer av den tidligere Hutu-ledede regjeringen flyktet hit, angrep foolgelig de rwandiske regjeringsstyrkene under Tutsiene Hutu-leirene og styrker av den dav�rende Zaire-regjeringen som tillot opprooret. Den rwandiske regjeringen stoottet opproorerne i Zaire som styrte Kinshasa-regjeringen med deres hjaalp, noe som foorte til den andre Kongokrigen og styrtet av Mobutu i 1997 etter at han hadde v�rt einr�isherra siden 1965.' Gabrielle carried on speaking as she drove into drove into the Place de Independence and turned felt towards the Lake. They were soon outside the Lodge Coco that was situated right on the lake itself and was on the city's central peninsula and close to the JLHQ on Avenue Lumumba. It was a newly built and advertised as a trendy hotel with only 8 rooms. It also had an enclosed garden meeting rooms a restaurant and a bar and live entertainment on Friday nights The Three Women strutted into the hotel so confidently as all the guests gazed in wonder and admiration at these leather clad Glamazons. Gabrielle marched right up to the desk and spoke to the clerk at the reception in her fluent French. 'I've come with my Colleagues Joyann Reed and Manita Murderhaars to book into the hotel 'Je suis venu avec mes coll�gues Joyann Reed et Manita Murderhaard pour r�server � l'h�tel.' ' I'm terribly sorry Madame but the rooms aren't ready yet they won't be ready until 12.' "Je suis vraiment d�sol�e Madame mais les chambres ne sont pas pr�tes mais elles ne seront pr�tes qu'� midi.' Gabrielle was absolutely furious that the rooms were not ready What the Hell was wrong with this country? Why were the rooms not ready yet? The Manager Carlo Mabella came running up to the desk sweat pouring down his face in a torrent. She stood right over him looking so threatening. He was a fairly small man with a moustache a wearing a smart Armani suit 'Why aren't the rooms ready arsehole? What sort of a hotel is this? 'she yelled right in his face 'Pourquoi les chambres ne sont-elles pas pr�tes � accueillir un trou du cul? De quelle sorte d'h�tel s'agit-il?' 'I'm terribly sorry Madame but we had a coachload of Japanese tourists and they spent all night drinking chibuku in the bar and we're trying to clear up the hotel.' 'Je suis vraiment d�sol�e Madame, mais nous avons eu une cargaison de touristes japonais et ils ont pass� toute la nuit � boire du chibuku dans le bar et nous essayons de nettoyer l'h�tel.' She grabbed him by the collar in her leather gloved hand 'Look here you idiot! I don't want to hear any excuses !f the rooms aren't ready in five minutes you will receive a crop across your arse in front of all there guests for every minute you are late And don't give me any excuses about African time as you will comply with Norselandic time or else! 'Regardez ici, idiot! Je ne veux pas entendre d'excuses! Si les chambres ne sont pas pr�tes dans cinq minutes, vous recevrez un recadrage dans vos fesses devant tous les invit�s pour chaque minute o� vous �tes en retard� ! Et ne me donnez aucunes excuses pour l'Afrique fois que vous vous conformerez � l'heure Nordique ou bien! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD SHITHEAD? 'EST-CE QUE CETTE MERDE EST COMPRISE? YES MADAME GABRIELLE he wailed so that all the guests could hear him 'OUI MADAME GABRIELLE!! Mabella was very sorry and terrified too as he dreaded the prospect Gabrielle's crop across his arse. He apologised for the fact that Congo was not nearly as efficient as Norseland and never would be! Gabrielle responded that Congo would definitely be more efficient once it was under Norselandic control! He had offered them coffee and cakes and breakfast in the restaurant. Mabella shouted at the maid Maria at the top of his voice in Swahili so loudly he could be heard right across the hotel. 'Get those bloody rooms ready now Maria forget about cleaning the bar. Just hurry up that lioness is going to crop my arse if they not ready in five minutes! 'Fanya vyumba vyenye umwagaji damu Maria sasa usahau kuhusu kusafisha bar. Haraka tu kwamba simba simba atakua akipanda punda wangu ikiwa hawako tayari katika dakika tano! The Three Women sat in the coffee lounge enjoying fresh coffee and cakes and the beautiful view across the lake with the mountains of Rwanda in the distance. Gabrielle was looking at her stopwatch the whole-time crop in hand. Just within 5 minutes Mabella came rushing into the room. Gabrielle grabbed him hard by the collar. ' Are the rooms ready scumbag?' 'Les chambres sont-elles pr�tes � �tre d�truites? 'Yes, they are Madame Gabrielle please don't thrash me I beg you!' 'Oui, ce sont Madame Gabrielle, s'il vous pla�t, ne me lancez pas, je vous en prie! 'They better be spotless too or you won't be able to sit down for the rest of the week dirtbag!' "Ils feraient mieux d'�tre impeccables aussi ou vous ne pourraites pas t'asseoir pour le reste de la semaine!' As they left the coffee lounge Gabrielle spoke to Joyann and Mania. 'Right ladies I am very sorry; nothing is done here on time .I was waiting to beat that bastard right over the reception desk!' 'Hooyre damer jeg er veldig lei meg; ingenting blir gjort her i tide. Jeg ventet paa aa slaa den j�velen rett over mootakka! 'Thank you so much Gabrielle I was looking forward to you thrashing him right in front of all the guests!' said Joyann in admiration 'Tusen takk, Gabrielle. Jeg gledet meg til at du slo ham rett foran alle gjestene!' ''What I thought we would Ladies do would be to go to your rooms and unpack to have lunch in the hotel and have a walk around the city.' . 'Det jeg trodde vi skulle gjoore Damer ville v�re aa gaa til rommene og taka upp ut for aa spise lunsj paa hootellet og ta en tur rundt i byen.' 'I will meet you at 6 PM. We will eat about at this really good restaurant I know called Le Gourmet Bukavu about 100 meters away .' 'Jeg vil moote deg klokka 18.00. Vi vil spise om paa denne virkelig gode veitingastaddur jeg vet som het Le Gourmet Bukavu, omtrent 100 meter unna.' 'Then we will go dancing at a nightclub called Wendy's Bar nearby showing these Congolese and the tourists what brilliant dancers we are and forcing them and the men to dance with us too!' 'Saa skal vi gaa og dansandi paa en n�turkluubbursom heter Wendy's Bar i n�rheten og vise disse kongoleserne og turistene hvilke straalende dansere vi er og tvinge dem og mennene til aa danse med oss "�"�ogsaa!' .
