Frank arrived in town 2 years ago, moving the head office of his legal company to the high street. His business had grown to a dozen branches across the region, being a major specialist in dealing with divorce cases, and it was surprising to many that the head office would be moved to a small town with little to speak of.
The business had built a reputation supporting men in divorce cases. Maybe because men usually ended up financially worse off. Whatever the reason, the company had a reputation for a high success rate in favour of their clients. There had been accusations of fabricating evidence against the other partner in a number of cases in the past, but there'd never been any proof that would stick - and all accusations had been crushed, with accusers coming off poorly through litigation. Frank swiftly and dealt with opposition.
A polite and friendly man, yet his methods to get results for his clients seemed cold and ruthless. Charismatic with an imposing presence, he quickly gained much respect in the small town as he became involved in local charities, the Board of Commerce, and was elected as a governor of the local high school and college.
What the community weren't aware of is that Frank had been appointed as the Leader of the town's very secret Marlboro Men's Club (MMC), which was the reason for moving his head office to the town. Appointed by the Regional Head of the MMC in order to stimulate recruitment to the Organisation in the area, the educational establishments was unusually large for a town of it's size, encompassing the large rural surroundings and having excellent educational reputations.
The Marlboro Youth Club (MYC) was expanding with recruits, but below the national average. The network needed an experienced firm hand in control, and Frank was the one.
There were just 11 members of the MYC, who attended the school and college, with their Friday evening indoctrination activities led by two of the MMC members. Highly unusually for the Leader of a MMC Cell, Frank would attend one of the MYC sessions to personally interview each of the lads and inject a higher level of Marlboro worship and devotion in the smoke-filled activities and rituals.
The next tasks he would initiate would be recruitment and conversion of the heads of the college and school. They were both family men in their 30s, and as a governor of both institutions, Frank had already begun to develop a friendship with them both... and influence over them.
Both non-smokers and principled men, it was clear that Frank was in the best position to manipulate them in the recruitment process. It was 3 months after being appointed as a governor of the school and of the college that Frank began the process. He arranged to meet each of them separately and alone for what was meant to be discussions about their educational institution, but after a few meetings, they developed into very personal discussions about their family, interests, and eventually they were each revealing the most personal and secret aspects of themselves they'd never even speak of to their wives.
As planned, Frank's increasing influence eventually had each of them with their first Marlboro Red between their fingers, sucking the smoke into their lungs for the first time. Now the process could escalate, as Frank exploited their deepest personal urges to begin the indoctrination.
The meetings with each of the men increased to twice a week, quickly becoming sexualised as Frank's influence and control over their minds and needs deepened alongside their addiction. They made up excuses to their wives about leaving them alone with the kids two evenings a week, while they would spend 2 hours with Frank. He didn’t care what lies were told, as long as he wasn’t the reason they gave. Over each session they stroked and smoked as Frank penetrated their minds with his gaze and his words of indoctrination for Marlboro... until their individual sessions eventually led to the uttering of the phrase "I worship Marlboro. I serve Marlboro. I belong to Marlboro" as they gazed hungrily at the Marlboro logo on the pack while they pulled deep on smoke and edged in a profound gooning ecstasy. Just a few more weeks of deepening obsession for Marlboro and establishing their loyalty and obedience to him, then Frank could initiate their purpose for him.
Neither of the men were aware that the other was going through the same process with Frank. So, when they each attended their first MMC meeting, they were surprised to see each other there... as they were also surprised to see so many other men they new from the town's institutions.

Within months, the ban on smoking within the education establishments was lifted. Nothing was said overtly. The no smoking signs were removed, and the students who were members of the MYC at the school and college smoked openly. Recruitment began to increase, as the lads could openly entice others to smoke and able to train them in preparation for their assimilation as members of the MYC.
The Heads of the school and college would report to Frank's office at his instruction, to convey progress amongst students. They were also required to aid in the work of the MYC member students and to aid them in whatever way they could to achieve the recruitment results.
Frank was now producing the results that he was there to achieve. Both the membership of the Marlboro Youth Club and the Marlboro Men's Club began to escalate.
It was also lucrative for Frank's business with the incremental increase in divorce cases, proving also highly beneficial for his case successes - the newly divorced recruits to the MMC.
