As we came into sickbay, it was a picture of organized chaos. Medical staff were scurrying about from one room to the next. You could feel the urgency in the air. And yet it was surprisingly calm and quiet.
Doc Holland was standing at the central desk, talking to a formidable-looking nurse. She had a grim look on her face and was nodding her head to what Holland was saying. As he turned from her, he spotted me and started towards us.
“Captain, any idea what is going on?” Before I could answer, he continued, “We’ve got 20 people in various conditions. I think we can save most of them, but two or three of them might be too far gone.”
“Doc, it seems that Sergeant Jones may be the key to this situation. It appears that some of these people were rescued from a pirate slave ship. And others are refugees from the Mosley Station takeover. All of them have been worked over pretty roughly.”
I could tell that Holland was not happy. “That’s an understatement, Captain. Things like this need to be addressed.”
“I’ll do what I can Doc. What little I can do.”
He was interrupted by a nurse who stepped out of one of the rooms. “Doctor Holland.”
He turned and noted the room she had come out of. “Dammit, I was afraid of this.” he walked into the room with Olivet and myself trailing behind him.
I was shocked to see April and Agnes Seward in the room. Agnes was seated next to the bed and was holding the occupant’s hand and gently petting her grey hair. She was an ancient appearing woman struggling to breathe. Agnes looked up at me, and I could see the pain and horror in her eyes. “Captain, this is my childhood friend Beverly Chilkoot. She is, was, the matron of the Chilkoot Pass. It disappeared ten years ago. Everyone thought that she had been lost with all hands.”
The old woman opened her eyes and looked at me. “Aggie, is this him?”
“Yes, Beverly, this is my Captain.”
“Closer son, my time is coming quick, closer.”
I stepped to the side of the bed opposite from Agnes. The old lady reached out and grabbed my hand. I was stunned by the strength there. “Thank you, Captain. We all thank you. You have saved our family. Please keep them safe.”
“I’ll do the best I can, Grandmother.” she smiled at that.
“You’re a sweet boy. What is your name?”
“Henry, Ma’am, Henry Sullivan.”
“Sullivan? Do you have a touch of the Irish in you son?”
“Yes Ma’am, my ancestors hailed from County Cork.”
“Ah such a lovely place, a lovely land. I do so miss the green. Son, when I’m gone, you must have a good old-fashioned wake for me. No crying or wailing or making a to-do over my corpse. Just a few pints and a fond remembrance. Will you do that for me son?”
“Yes Ma’am, we’ll give you a grand send-off. The wee ones will be speaking of it forever.”
Beverly gripped my hand harder, even painfully. Her eyes were staring at the ceiling. “Aggie, I can see him. I can see my Richard. He’s just as handsome as when we first met. Remember how jealous you were Aggie. But he only had eyes for me. I had forgotten how handsome he was. Aggie it’s been so long. He’s beckoning to me Aggie. He’s saying it’s OK now. Such a strong voice he has.”
Her voice trailed off and her eyes closed. The only sound in the room was the flat line tone on the monitor. And the quiet sobs of both Agnes and April.
As I stepped from the room, Agnes and April followed. April was holding and supporting Agnes. April looked at me. “What are we going to do Henry? Some of these folks are in bad shape. They need a safe place.”
“I agree honey. For now, we’ll do the best we can. Later with time to consider our options. We’ll do the right thing.”
Agnes looked up at me. Her eyes were brimming with tears. “Captain, I consider these people as family. Anything they need, anything, I authorize it. If anybody has a problem with that, direct them to me.”
“Yes Ma’am. That had been my intention from the beginning.”
“Good, please keep me advised on the situation and the arrangements for Beverly. I will be attending both the remembrance and the wake.”
My life wasn’t all Seward’s Folly. There were times that April and myself had time for ourselves and each other. This was one of those times. Or at least it started that way. April and I were playing chess and enjoying life. Then my communicator demanded attention. “Captain Sullivan here.” “Captain Sullivan, it’s good to hear your voice again.” “Commander Olivet? It’s good to hear from you. Have you decided to accept our offer? and have you found your second.” “The answer to both is, yes...
After my enforced medical vacation, life went on. Paul and his sister were doing well in school, and his mother was acclimating with the ship and the rest of the family. She was becoming quite well-liked, particularly with the parents and her students. Preparations for the coming launch were going well. I had just finished lunch with April and was going over some division reports. I wasn’t paying too much attention to the reports. My real purpose was Paul. I was waiting to begin taking him...
As we got closer to the Reclamation area, we could see the Alpha/Omega symbols on the double doors. I could also tell that Paul wasn’t happy about this visit. When we entered, a tall thin man dressed in a black suit stood up from the reception desk. “Captain Sullivan?” “Correct, are you Mr. Garcia?” “No sir, I am Jenkins. I’m a public relations specialist. Which is a fancy label for receptionist. Mr. Garcia is expecting you. Please make yourself comfortable, while I let him know you’re...
I had just come from a meeting with the food services and supply people. We had been discussing dry goods. What we had on hand, what we needed, and what we could make ourselves. It was a long and boring meeting. After all, how much can be said for herbs and spices? I’m sure that the topic is interesting to some folks. I had to struggle to stay awake and interested. Finally, the meeting concluded, and as usual, nothing was decided, and everything was to be discussed at the next meeting,...
As time went by, it seemed that we weren’t making any headway. Morale started to become a problem. That’s when I started the status board. Anybody could access the display, and some of the public monitors displayed it all time. It was very simple, each division, section, and area of the ship was displayed. To the side of them was a color code. Green, yellow, and red. Red obviously meant that serious work needed to be done. Yellow meant that work was progressing but not yet finished. Green...
The Congressional meeting hall was full. All members of the ships Congress that were able to attend were there. There was a muted hum of general conversation. Everyone was aware of today’s purpose. A door at the rear of the room opened, and two men entered. One tall, well-built, and muscular. The other several inches shorter and heavyset. As they were spotted, the hall grew quiet. The shorter man, who was carrying a 6-foot staff, rapped it heavily on the deck. The iron heel of the staff was...
The gangway to the Mars station wasn’t a physical gangway. It was impossible to have a physical connection between a ship as large as the Seward’s Folly and the station. The gangway actually was a series of docking ports where shuttles could connect with the station. It was used to transfer people and small cargo. The trip from the Seward took about 45 minutes. During that time, Clyde Kennedy and his partners enjoyed themselves. Laughing and telling stories. After all, they were being set...
After the mutiny attempt, and Emily Johnson’s exile, there was a somber mood on board. I had to work very hard at stopping any suspicions from running wild. This became more than apparent with Sergeant Jones’ refugees. There was an unspoken undercurrent among the crew and family that thought that they might have been involved in the mutiny. I started meeting with them informally. For the most part, the older members were in no condition to return to work. But they were aware of the animosity...
Finally, we were there. All lights were green. It was time to launch. But first, we needed to celebrate the occasion. The ship’s congressional meeting room had again been converted to a dining room. We couldn’t fit all of the crew and the contractors in there, but most of the division heads and all of the department heads were in attendance. Throughout the ship, parties were being held in housing plazas. The wardrooms and taprooms were also busy with the singles crowd. Paul and I were on the...
The bridge was crowded. Everyone that could come up with an excuse, and some that couldn’t, were standing around. I was in the command chair. April stood to my left, and Agnes stood to my right. There had been some discussion that she be seated in the command chair. Until I pointed out that the bridge was my command, and I should be the person sitting in that chair. I did suggest that another chair be brought in for Agnes. But she laughed and informed everyone that she wasn’t so old or...
The family stood around the tanning bed, watching the timer count down the last few minutes before the process would be complete. There had been some concern that five plus hours under the highest intensity light would be too much but Tonto had assured them that every bit of the light would be converted into internal energy to fuel the organic nanites as they completed the tasks Tonto had given them. Tonto warned that she would not emerge from the bed looking like the image they had all seen...
Jason, Ellie and Val winked into existence aboard the Harvest Moon and were ushered directly into a side alcove. The Marine Captain greeted them warmly but with clear deference showing in his manor. "Jason," he said, "you are to remain here with me while the ladies are boosted up. If you would like I could give you a tour of our ship and operations." Jason was nervous but hid it well, as he understood his part in this program. He was wearing civilian clothing that looked as if it might...
"Listen up folks," Rob shouted to get the attention of the extended family gathered in the hospital mess hall. "Time is short and we've had a small change of plans. The Confederacy AIs have been in touch with our assigned AI and we have more capability than we thought. There will be two ships, the Kedah is a fast Darjee vessel and it will be our transportation and temporary home, including all animal life that we wish to take. The second ship is designed by and crewed by humans and a...
"All right guys, it's time." Rob called the assembled family to attention. "Val, is everyone here?" Val, of course, was acting as Tonto's voice when she accurately reported everyone was in place and all supplies either in hand or properly stored throughout the hospital and the rest of the Naval Air Station. Rob continued, using a megaphone to assure that everyone could hear, "This set up is a little different than any you may have witnessed if you've seen extractions before. We are...
"Now, that's a jolt! Time for a family meeting, right now," Tonto said with urgency. "What's up?" Rob asked. "Should we meet all together or can we do this by sub-vocalization?" "Together, I think," Tonto replied. "You are all in close proximity except Val, her husband Dan and his sister, Maria. They were helping Horace move the last of the livestock into the farm module. They are now headed toward the bridge at my request, as it is a good meeting place for all of us. Make sure...
Even though Sara's hair was matted to her head by perspiration and she wore no make up, the beaming smile on her face made her beautiful. She sprang from the med-tube and gave Jason a huge hug and kiss. "Yes," she said, "Yes, I will be your concubine and will be with you forever. I feel so wonderful and I love you with all my heart. Let me get in the shower then I want to join your family in every possible way. Tonto has been filling my head with a complete history of all that I missed...
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Tonto's voice rolled the 'A' sound in Ladies and the 'N' in Gentlemen, just like an old time circus pitch man. "I am honored to present Doctor Horace Hamilton, veterinary surgeon and the newest member of the extended Tufts Family. He will be out of the med-tube in 20 minutes and we should all be on hand to greet him. He is now fully incorporated in the intelligence you so kindly refer to as Tonto." Sandra asked aloud, "Is he OK?" "Yes, Sandra," Tonto...
Sandra's smile was so broad that she appeared to be beaming from ear to ear. Her pixie face was transformed by the great joy she was experiencing. She clung to Rob with one arm, her dad with the other and was calling for Katie to join them in a group hug. "I feel so wonderful, I cannot believe this can be real. Not only do I have my closest family in my arms, but I can sense Tonto and am able to feel and experience each of the three baby girls developing in my womb. Their little brains...
After a brief lull Rob spoke up as if thinking aloud, "What would be created if the seven human brains that form the base network for a Tonto were the brains and minds of young men attending a terrorist Madras in a radical Islamic state? Or what if he should spring from the brain/minds of an Earth First terrorist cell? I can't even begin to wrap my thoughts around the evil that could result if a Tonto type organization's goals were bent on destruction." Tonto responded, "Now you begin...
"Sara, are you awake yet?" Val asked. The young girl snuggled into Val's shoulder as they lay entwined in the big bed in Val's quarters. They had spent almost four hours in the 'getting to know you' process with Tonto. "Sweetheart, I now know why Jason took to you instantly and why Doctor Sandra had such a special interest in you too," Val said. "You are special, you are tougher than nails, and you are so filled with love. You are a beautiful addition to our family and my only regret...
Tapping her spoon against the coffee cup, Grandmother raised her voice, “Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s bring this meeting to order.” Pausing for a moment, she turned to the burly man at the door. “Provost Marshall, is everybody here?” “Aye Grandmother all present. We’re swept sealed and shielded.” “Thank you, David,” turning back to the assembled group she started. “Ladies and Gentlemen, this meeting of the Seward’s Folly command group is called to order. We’ll start with the...
The room was filled with women. Most were on the edges of the space, but the most important occupants were seated at the u-shaped table that took up the center of the room. The room grew quiet when a door opened to the side of the room next to the chair that occupied the head of the table. Agnes Seward came into the room. She was moving slowly but steadily. She stopped in front of the table and looked around. “Ladies, I call the meeting to order. Mary, do we have a quorum?” she slowly sat...
After the end of the Earth-Mars war, many naval personnel, from both sides, ended up in the Martian system looking for work. Some of these ex-military people ended up mining the asteroid belt. If you listened to the corporate recruiters, everybody working for them had made fortunes in the belt. If you checked around, you would soon find that working for a corporation was a form of slow suicide. Better to take a walk outside without a suit. The corporations also hired their own “Security...
Three days after my meeting with Agnes Seward, I took their shuttle over. I shared the ride with two very hungover contractors and a load of supplies for one of the many departments onboard a mining ship. When I arrived, I met a young lady who told me her name was Mary and she was Grandmother Seward’s secretary. I resolved that I would have to remember the Grandmother title. Mary led me to Grandmother Seward’s office. When I entered, Agnes stood and held her hand out. “Captain Sullivan, I’m...
The Congressional meeting hall was filled. Both the ships Congress and the Mother’s Council were in attendance. While this hadn’t been a required meeting, if you didn’t have duties, you were expected to be there. There was a low rumble of conversation. From the door to the side of the stage, the provost marshal came in. “Ladies and gentlemen Grandmother Seward.” everyone stood and faced the door. Grandmother Seward came into the room. There was quiet applause that quickly ended when she took...
Floyd’s dad Wayne Turner was a longtime member of the security division. His job was to do background checks on prospective new family members and contractors. Currently, he didn’t have much to do. The ship was in a refitting stage, and there were no requests for backgrounds. This meant that Wayne had plenty of free time it gave him time for his second job. Wayne was a respected member of his neighborhood. The folks that lived on his level respected him and his word. And not just because he...
For the next hour, Susan was jumping on and off the express. She would walk around, reversing directions looking at the reflection in store windows. All the time worried that she was being followed. Sure that at any time, there would be a hand grabbing her shoulder. At one point, she considered heading to her quarters. But halfway there, she realized that would be the obvious place to be waiting for her. She felt that he was running out of time and was beginning to panic. She decided that...
Standing in the doorway, the room looked like a disaster had struck. Access panels were open. Workers and technicians were involved in various mysterious jobs. There was a babble of voices, each seeming to be louder than the others. A loud voice, not yelling, but carrying over the chatter of various repairmen and technicians. “Attention on deck Captain on the bridge.” All conversation stopped, while most everyone stood up in at least a semblance of attention. Some, particularly those with...
The first thing the next day, I surprised Lucy Golden in her office. She had just finished meeting her section bosses and assigning the days jobs. I was seated in her outer office, talking to her secretary. A nice young lady, petite and cute. I’m sure that she was a heartbreaker in the wardrooms. “Captain,” Lucy was surprised. “What can I do for you? I thought I was going to have some time for the wish list you wanted.” While she was talking, she waved me into her office. “No, Ms. Golden,...
As we stepped into the electronics bay, I was stunned. The noise, hustle, and bustle were surprising. Given the quiet of the maintenance bay, this was pandemonium. Kids were laughing and singing. Several adults were circulating through the room, supervising what was happening on the work tables. An older, dark-haired man watched what was happening from an elevated desk on the far side of the room. When we came in, he was talking to a pair of kids. Showing them something on a piece of...
David Barth, April, and I were in my ready room discussing the Security resupply wish list and the installation of some new equipment. And the groundside technicians that had to be brought in for it. When alarm klaxons started sounding. And an Intruder alert was announced on the public address system. “Intruder alert, Isolation protocols are going into effect, Airtight doors are being secured.” I looked at David. I could tell that the same thought was going through our minds, an intruder...
I smiled at the kid as I sat in the chair next to the bed. “Hi, I’m Henry Sullivan. I’m the Captain of this ship. What’s your name?” The kid stared at me, a sullen look on his face. “Nunya” was his answer. I knew what was going to come next, so before he could continue, I interrupted. “Nice to meet you Mr. Business. It seems that we need to decide what we are going to do with you. Do you have any ideas?” The kid didn’t say anything, just sat and glared at me. “How about some lunch? Are...
It was just after a thoroughly disgraceful lunch when Emily received the e-mail. It was short, only one word, but it’s meaning was huge. Anyone reading it would be confused as to its meaning. Those that knew it for a coded message couldn’t even guess at the meaning. When Emily read the message, fear came over her. These messages were never to her benefit. Calling Jessica into her office, she ordered that a shuttle be laid on for her. And passage to the surface be booked immediately. Ignoring...
David, April, and I were at the loading dock. David had assembled an assault team. 7 of his finest. They were double-checking their weapons and communications equipment. Hopefully, they wouldn’t be needed, but just in case they would be ready. I had just confirmed that David’s friend was standing by when Paul showed up in his patient gown. “And just what are you doing, Paul? I don’t think Doc Holland will be too happy with you wandering around outside sickbay.” “I’m going with you. I want...
Emily was in a foul mood. Even the treat of shopping wasn’t enough to lighten it. Her mood was further darkened when she was told that the shuttle from Port Lowell to the station would be delayed for an hour. Her demands for consideration of her position on the Seward’s Folly fell on deaf ears. She was informed that a police action as in progress, and all flights were delayed. When she finally arrived on Mars station, she was again informed of another delay. The Seward’s shuttles were tied...
The next morning, even Will is dragging around the camp, but the girls all act like nothing happened during the night as they yawned and rubbed their eyes and discovered that there were no showers, only the river, if they wanted to bathe. “Bathe in the river? Nude?” Lisa responded to this one, “Well, AT the river. Otherwise, I’ll have to find you a safe spot if you want to go IN the river. And, well, nude if you like. I’m sure Will won’t mind, right Will?” Will flustered and blushed,...
Their clothes all off; she moved her bare pussy lips to his hard penis, the first penis she had ever felt. The touch was unlike anything she had felt before. She was scared, excited, and unsure of herself. She let her body and what her sister had taught her to guide her. No more cloth between them, only bare skin. She felt him against her. His body warm, muscled, his blue eyes comforting her, loving her. She wanted him inside her now! Push! Do this! Her mouth opened, lusting, desiring, as...
Journal Entry June 29th I spent the morning between breakfast and Brent’s arrival, working on entering the code into the computer and saving it for my first program. I find myself able to type at close to 100 words per minute, which is more than double what I was able to do at my best previously. Even with that, it will take me some time to enter all the lines of code. Brent arrived as I was finishing up a section of code. Instead of getting up and answering the door, I shouted for him to...
"Now Max, I want you to just sit here quietly in the closet and look at my all my pretty high heel shoes while I'm having sex that well hung young man that's coming over. He will be arriving shortly.""Tonya please listen, I don't want you having sex with other men anymore," he said in a whining voice."Now Max dear, honey, sweetie we are not going to go through this everytime I need to have sex with another man. It's you I am in love with and you know that. You are such a sweet sissy, and...
I'm blessed, I think, with an optimistic outlook. I've never suffered from depression, nor has anyone else in my family. My father is renowned among family friends for his calm nature. My Grandfather lost an arm in the war and only counts himself lucky that it wasn't both of them. I guess that's why I'm lying here on my bed trying to figure out what to do, rather than looking for a secure place on the ceiling to hang a cord. There are only two ultimate goals in my life right now, and...

I hadn’t truly expected things to carry on this far, but then I guess few if anyone who begins an online cyber sex relationship with a partner from halfway around the world really would think they’d ever actually meet. But here I was in balmy ole’ London, England, having just stepped off one of the most gruelling international airplane flights of my life, to find myself confronted with a wind-swept, pouring rainstorm cell breaking over the entire city. There were numerous taxis waiting just...
Picture, if you would, a dark, candle lit room. Filling the space along one side is a king sized bed, the sheets fresh and silky. The soft smell of incense meets your nostrils. Sneaking up behind you, I wrap my arms around you and begin kissing the bottom of your neck. Mmm, baby, that feels good. Running my hands across your stomach, I kiss up to you neck, blowing a hot breath across your ear before nibbling on your ear lobe. Kissing back down to your collarbone, I run my hands slowly up...
Hi everyone. It’s a pleasure writing in iss. This time the story is not mine but of a horny matured lady who I was having a conversation with. I have just copy pasted the story for you all. She didn’t post it because she was shy. So coming to the story… ””Hi, my name is akansha (name changed). I am 43 years old and I live in delhi.

Leanne walked up to the old people's home and looked at the sign; 'Rosefield Manor'. The building was dark and grey, sending a chill down her spine just looking at it despite the relatively mild autumnal afternoon. The bare trees outside, as black as the gothic looking stone the building was made out of, did nothing to ease her worries. There was always something odd about this place, she remembered it freaking her out when she was younger and it still had a bit of a hold over her now. Ancient...
FantasySo, they were The Users. The group that asked us to meet them and caused the fear that ran rampantly through my group and me too. I did my best to keep my face calm and bland. All of us remained standing, gathered around the throne apparently intended for me. I wasn't going to sit until invited to. I'd rather not sit at all, just go home. The woman across from us held out her hand, indicating the big man to my left. "This is Law." Law looked from her to me and gave a long bow of his...
Beth and Ron started their junior year with their relationship still undefined. Ron was still patient and hoping. Beth was still unsure but was slowly moving towards a romantic relationship with Ron. One week in October their relationship questions were put on hold. It was time for one of the great campus traditions, homecoming. Homecoming is a special event on campus for alumni and students. There are also special traditions for the members of the Greek system. Fraternities and...
Well, the first 16 stories took up about four years. Once my friends went back to school, things went along pretty much the same for us day to day. While we had a lot of fun, it would be boring to keep repeating pretty much the exact same thing over and over. So here goes the end of a segment of our life, this is end of high school through end of vocational training.It was time to graduate, I would have an AS and a certificate in Hotel, Motel, Restaurant Management and Jeff would have an AS...

It was a Monday morning. The night before I stayed up very late so I was sleep-in late when I heard a knock at my door. I answered the door it was the maintenance man, tall about 6'2 I'm 5'2 so he's alot taller than me, chocolate skin, pretty smile in his maintenance uniform. I smiled and said hello, he said hello ma'am....he really called me ma'am and I'm 20years younger than him but Oh well. He said he had a order to change light in my kitchen. I had called a couple weeks before because the...
I opened my eyes and instantly regretted it. Fuck, my head was pounding. As the faces of my two alarm clocks began to merge and become a single one again on my nightstand, I saw that it was just before eight, in the A.M. I guessed. I gulped, Jesus, my mouth was dry. It felt as though my throat was full of salty sand, I could barely swallow. I spotted a bottle of water on the nightstand and reached out to grab it, desperate to slake my thirst. I leaned out to grab it and instantly regretted...
HardcoreDr. Takuchi was a classmate in the military academy. He was responsible for security of the secret 731 laboratory research in northern China. Although this top secret unit was never publicized, as a Commander General, I knew they researched all kinds of biological warfare and tested on the locals. Dr. Takuchi told me when he visited Shanghai last, 'We are mating all kind of animals with local females. Obviously with horse, donkey, Siberian husky, wolf, ape, monkey and then some others we...
The DST Agent, part 5 By: Malissa Madison We ate our Waffles staring into each other's eyes, him smiling because none of the others enjoyed them with Blackberry Jelly. Me because he Had my favorite waffle topping. We never noticed when they left the room, just that we were alone together. After a while I gathered the plates, and dishes carrying them to the sink. And he joined me, taking them and plunging them into the hot soapy water to wash. "I don't...
I saw them, walking down the hill to the marina, talking in quiet tones. They continued on until they were on the dock in front of the boat, hesitating. I leaned over the railing and looked down. “Need something?” I called out pretty loudly and they jumped, not realizing I was right above them. Sarah looked up with a timid smile. “Permission to board, Captain?” I didn’t answer, coming down from the deck and facing them at the boarding ramp. “Why?” They seemed to deflate, before Sarah got a...
My boyfriend, David and I had been dating a few months when he quickly began to realize my terrible habit of never being on time. I was never absurdly late, just always a few minutes past when I said I’d be. He told me it was his biggest pet peeve with me, especially when we were supposed to be meeting somewhere other than his apartment and he was left waiting awkwardly for his date to arrive. David had spoken to me about it a few times, each time I promised I would be more conscientious of...
SpankingMy lover and my husband are in separate rooms changing into the clothing I've laid out for them. When they're finished they'll come into the library where I'm sitting waiting for them. This will be the first time they've touched each other and I'm not going to miss a minute of it. I'm sitting in a big padded chair diagonal to the door. My husband, Matt, comes in first. He looks more comfortable in his dress than I ever imagined he would. The dress I picked out for him reminds me of that...
CrossdressingKendall Sauvage sat at her piano as the last notes of Scarlatti’s Sonata No. 1 in E Major faded. She was at peace as she could only be when she played. The piece, however, had reflected her agitated mood with its presto momentum. Her husband, Rainer, had his own way of expressing his concern. She could smell the cookies baking in the kitchen. She considered launching into the second sonata, an allegro movement, but she saw lights approaching the house and knew her daughter was home. Kendall...
Brad’s parents and Kim’s parents had been neighbors and friends for forever, so both families saw a lot of Brad, Kim and her older sister, Teri, as the three of them were growing up, and as Brad and Kim dated. Even after Brad’s parents divorced, Glenn stayed in their house and remained friends with Kim’s parents, so having the bachelorette party at Glenn’s house seemed like a natural thing to do. Over the years, Kim had a pretty good relationship with Brad’s father. Glenn could be handsy...
