After breakfast, Jamie and the girls boarded the new Lynx and Jamie took them to Fort William so they could check up on Stuart. He found his friend just as frustrated as he himself had been the day before, itching to get on and do something positive.
"How's your shoulder?" Jamie asked him.
"It's fine, really. I feel like a fraud, hanging around here when there's work to be done," Stuart replied.
"Do you feel up to making a little trip?" Jamie enquired.
Stuart's face brightened with the prospect of doing something useful.
"Where?" he asked eagerly.
"I was thinking about all of the adults who have set sail from the US and Canada. The last thing we want is for them to make landfall only to be picked up or killed by terrorists. I'm thinking that we need to establish radio contact with them and guide them in to somewhere safe," Jamie suggested.
"That makes sense, but how do we do it and where do I fit in?" Stuart asked.
"Well, we need to try and get our American friends out of Faslane and it occurred to me that the naval base will also have radio facilities. Why not kill two birds with one stone? You've now got three APCs and hundreds of armed people at your command here. How would you feel about leading a force back to Faslane?" said Jamie.
"Your Grace, are you sure? Do we really want to antagonise the Americans?" Stuart replied.
Jamie gave his friend a funny look, as he hadn't missed the fact that he had for the first time referred to him as 'your Grace'.
"I see it the other way round Stuart. I've told the US President repeatedly that we don't want US forces in the UK, that we can deal with this ourselves. Yet he has disregarded us and landed troops anyway. I'm not suggesting we start a fight with these guys, I think we would come off a very poor second best anyway. No, I suggest we put on a show of force and relieve them of their guard duties. Do you think they would actually fire on us? On teenagers?" Jamie asked.
"You don't know how hard people have been training here, I wouldn't be so quick to write them off. But if we're not fighting what's the plan?"
"I think we really need to put on a big demonstration. The APCs will only hold about ten people each so how about you load up more people in some of the buses that brought them here in the first place? I'm thinking of about one hundred and fifty armed teenagers. Stop the buses short of the base and then let them march behind the three APCs for the last mile or so.
"Take a white flag and ask to speak to the officer in charge. You tell him that the King of Scots has ordered you to secure the base and relieve him. You can even pass on my thanks for their assistance if you like, but make it clear we are taking over the defence of the base."
"What if they refuse to leave?" Stuart asked.
"Oh, I think it's an absolute certainty that they will refuse. I've got another element to this plan that I hope will win the day," said Jamie.
Jamie asked Stuart about the audit of people's skills that had been carried out.
"You know the skills audit we did, are there any people with experience of sailing boats?" he asked.
"I think so, I'll have to check to make sure though," Stuart replied, "why?"
"Well, if they've got experience of boats, they might also have experience of using radios to communicate with boats. I thought that might be a way of finding someone who could figure out how to contact the boats in the Atlantic once we have taken over the naval base," replied Jamie.
With discussions about the mission to Faslane out of the way, Jamie asked about another idea he had had.
"How long did it take you to print the leaflets we dropped the last time?"
"Not long, we set up four printers and printed on A4. As the sheets came out of the printers I had someone tear them in half to get two A5 sized leaflets. Probably about an hour to get you five thousand leaflets. What do you have in mind?" Stuart asked.
Jamie showed him a message he had composed on his own computer that morning. Stuart nodded as he read it.
"I think this is a great idea. It hits all the right buttons as well. Do you want me to get someone working on this right away?"
"That would be good. If we can get the timing right I'd like to drop them on the way to the Dreghorn barracks to see Lee," Jamie replied
"This is the Captain speaking. I'm sure, like me, you are itching to get back to blighty and settle some scores. I made a point of sharing the King's e-mails with you, so you could all see what a fine job Petty Officer Stevens and the other members of the crew did in the short time they had. It is my intention that the rest of us will contribute in a way that will honour their memory. Despite the crazy situation back home, I also want to remind you that the teenager known as Highlander is the lawful King of Scots and we will all treat him as such if we have the honour of meeting him. For now I want you all rested. I want all weapons ready for use and I want all of you to be nursing your wrath," said Captain Mexford.
He replaced the mic in its holder and looked around himself. He was pleased to see the grim faces on his crew. When they landed in the UK they would certainly mean business.
His day had started early. Having witnessed the US president's broadcast to the nation, he could have kissed the woman reporter who had put POTUS on the spot with regard to his boat. When the President had responded the way he did, Mexford knew he was going to be setting sail for the UK without much delay. Politicians didn't play around with the press very much and he knew the fourth estate would now be watching Newport to make sure the President followed through on his statement.
Within hours he was invited to a meeting with the base commander and informed that provisions were being gathered to replenish the stores on the Vengeance before he sailed. There had been no animosity between fellow professionals and indeed the base commander had stood at the quayside to salute and wave him off.
Now he was considering what his plans should be. The broadcast had made it clear that the Americans had a presence at Faslane, so for the present that seemed to rule that out as his destination. In theory he should be waiting for orders from the King and had e-mailed using the address he had before to try and find out if the monarch had a plan.
The Green Berets of the 7th SFG watched as the Super Stallion flared and landed on the Faslane heli-pad. Thirty-two marines of the go-to-hell squad wasted no time in disembarking and the First Lieutenant commanding barked out his orders to deploy them quickly. He made his way to the Green Beret Captain and they swapped salutes.
"Lieutenant Carson reporting for duty sir. My orders are to relieve you and your men and see you heading back to the Stennis immediately."
"Thank you Lieutenant, you're welcome to the duty, it's not something I was looking forward to anyway. It's kinda dull around here," replied the Captain.
The Green Berets weren't going to be outdone by the marines and they showed how organised they were by loading up within a matter of minutes. The Lieutenant watched the big Sikorsky lift off, barely fifteen minutes after it had touched down.
Jamie and the girls flew over the four remaining terrorist camps on their way to the Dreghorn barracks. While Jamie piloted the Lynx, the girls dropped leaflets on each of the sites, two in Glasgow and two in Edinburgh.
On the ground, teenagers caught the leaflets as the floated down on the breeze. The Pakistani teenagers in particular were exercised by what the leaflets had to say.
It's over! The original terrorists that released the bird flu virus are all but gone and Scotland is once more free. To those teenagers who have deemed fit to join the lunatics who attacked our country, I say this:These men and women are a disgrace to Islam. Their actions are completely at odds with what the holy Qu'ran teaches and you should be ashamed of yourselves for being duped by these people. Have you missed the fact that these same people are responsible for wiping out millions of the faithful in the Middle East, in Africa and in places like Indonesia? Have you forgotten the fact that these fanatics are responsible for murdering you own parents and countless thousands of British Muslims?
Join us now and we will show understanding and mercy - the mercy and compassion that the Qu'ran preaches. I give my word that any who hand over their weapons today will be spared and indeed welcomed into our ranks. Think about it. You have been conned and these people owe you just as much a debt as they do the rest of us. Defend your faith in the proper way, by abandoning those who have trodden the name of Islam and the prophet into the dirt and joining us to finish them off. It's over! Join us today and honour your faith!
King James VIII
At the two camps in the west there were no adult terrorists, none had been seen for several days. The words on the leaflet had a ring of truth therefore and the Pakistani teenagers were looking at each other and the hundreds of other survivors who stood around them.
One Pakistani youth walked over to a small group of survivors and simply handed over his weapon. This act was almost like a dam being released, it allowed the other Pakistani 'guards' to follow suit and within minutes of the leaflets being dropped, both of the camps in Glasgow were free.
In the east there wasn't such a dramatic response. Nasser still had two of his cell alive and one was stationed at each of the remaining camps Nasser controlled. These two were effective in making the Pakistani youths force the other survivors into gathering up and disposing of the leaflets. What they couldn't do however, was stop the Pakistani teenagers from reading the message on the leaflets or stop the doubt from creeping into the minds of these youngsters.
The two adults were miles apart from each other, but their emotions were very similar. They were unnerved by the way the teenagers were all looking at them, even their so-called Muslim troops. It took all of their belief in their cause to keep them focussed on maintaining order.
When Jamie and the girls landed at Dreghorn he immediately sought out Lee Chan. He had already asked Stuart his opinion about the e-mail from Kalif and now he wanted to hear the views of the self proclaimed strategist.
Lee urged caution, as had Stuart. He suggested Jamie respond to the e-mails by setting up a rendezvous, somewhere out in the open where no traps could be sprung. Jamie nodded his agreement. That had been what he was leaning towards himself, much as he had done with the first survivors he had picked up in the Lynx.
He explained to Lee about the second leaflet drop and showed him a copy of the text. He was surprised by how Lee reacted.
"This is good, but it needs to be backed up by another major success to make sure it works," said the Chinese boy.
"What do you mean?" asked Jamie.
"Well, you're claiming here that it's all over, that the terrorists are defeated. I think you need to demonstrate that somehow. If you manage that, then resistance will crumble amongst the Pakistani teenagers. You see, their role in all of this has been fuelled by the machismo of their culture. Muslim men are macho, tough and the terrorists gave them the opportunity of lording it over the white Scots, people who have looked down on them up until now," Lee said.
"I think that's a bit strong," said Jamie.
"What, you don't think there is any racism in Scotland?" asked Lee, "I'm of Chinese origin and before the virus attack I can tell you that I felt like an outsider."
Jamie was brought up short. Was Lee right? Was there racism amongst his fellow Scots? He found the thought unpleasant, but if Lee was so adamant that he had felt it then he guessed it must be true. He made a mental note to try and address that in his role as King of Scots.
"Let's get back to this idea of a demonstration. Do you have any ideas in mind?" he asked.
"Yes. I go back to Sun Tzu and his teachings. Don't try and cut off the many limbs of the beast, for it will only grow new ones. No, cut off the beast's head, for therein lies the path to victory," Lee quoted.
Jamie looked at the other boy and it was clear he didn't understand what Lee was getting at.
"You need to take out the terrorist leaders, your Grace," Lee explained.
10:12, 8 September Jamie considered his options. Sinky was commanding the teenagers who were securing the Trident missiles at the Faslane base and Stuart was still in Liverpool. He decided that the best option in the short term was to take the trip to GCHQ himself. There was a heck of a lot of things to set in motion, many more people to deal with and being able to employ mobile phones would make things much easier. He calculated that it would be a worthwhile investment of his time, despite...
All of the attendees at the COBRA meeting were staring at the Prime Minister. The news channels were blaring out the claims of Al Qaeda biological attacks, the release of a strain of bird flu that could infect humans, and Gordon Brown had sneezed. The Prime Minister gazed back at them calmly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think this is the time to lose our cool. It would seem we have a lot of work to do. Now, I suggest we take a comfort break to give the Chief Medical Officer time to join...
I had been out taking pictures of birds; well, that’s what I intended to do, but I had stumbled across a pair of ladies playing in a pond and had taken some pictures of them instead. When I got back to the car, I looked thru the pictures. There were a couple of exceptional shots and several more good ones. I’d have to upload those and do a bit of post-processing, but they were pretty good to start.It was about six-thirty AM when I drove out of the park. One of the two cars that had been there...
MatureJames MacLaren and his wife arrived at his parent's house and rang the bell. James' father, David, opened the door and they could both see immediately that there was something wrong with him. They pushed past into the house, Avril fussing over her father-in-law, and found his wife, Ivy, lying on the sofa covered by a duvet. If anything she looked worse than her husband, her skin pallid and her eyes looking sunken in her face. Avril busied herself putting on the kettle and looking in the...
Shafiq and her companions sat on a park bench for thirty minutes to give the members of the Glasgow cell time to arrive and pick them up. When they walked to the entrance to the park, a black cab moved down the road and pulled in beside them. "Get in. Hurry, we can't hang around," said the driver of the cab. "I'm sorry, we didn't order a cab," Shafiq responded. "Shit! Okay, bird song. Now, get in, quickly," the driver urged. Shafiq relaxed when she heard the code words and...
Girl Meets World - Bird WatchingIt was a beautiful spring day on a Saturday in New York City. The sun was shining bright, the weather was a warm 64 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. It was a day that everybody would go out riding bikes, taking a nice walk in the park and having a picnic with their loved one. Farkle and Maya were spending the day together bird watching in Central Park.The duo was both under a tree, Farkle was staring into his father's binoculars while Maya was lying on checked...
22:47, 19 August Petty Officer Stevens was motionless amongst the scrub, as he watched the comings and goings in the building opposite him. He and his shore party had been watching four different sites for almost two days, logging what they saw and discussing plans for an assault. All twenty of the seamen had admitted to each other that they were starting to feel what they thought might be flu symptoms and they were determined to free as many of the teenagers held captive as they could...
00:38, 6 September As the five hundred or so expatriates lined up to begin giving their details, Jamie couldn't contain himself any longer. "Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please?" he called out loudly. When he was happy that they had all stopped talking amongst themselves and were now waiting to hear what he had to say, he continued. "I'm afraid you are all going to have to get used to huge demands being made of you from now on. There are not many of us and we have...
There have recently been sightings of both eagles and osprey near one of our county parks. I’m an avid bird-watcher, so when I heard, I knew I had to try to photograph them. Reports were that early in the morning and at dusk were the best times so I set my alarm, got up and dressed, and headed out early. It was August, so early meant about five thirty AM. My wife was still asleep; I left her a note, grabbed my camera bag, and off I went. She had turned me down again last night. We’ve been...
VoyeurBIRD-WATCHING By "C.C." Janet was always Turned Off by Masculine Hair, so to keep things humming at our house -- and in our bed -- I obliged by shaving my body for her. I didn't realize what trouble it would be till one day when we were bird- watching. It was a warm, lovely morning in the remote woods, and as we had hiked for a couple hours without seeing anyone, we came on a clear, gently- flowing stream and Janet suggested we go Skinny-dipping. I was really shy about anyone...
13:41, 2 August Sky News continued to report on the rising death toll, thousands became tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and then millions. The scale was simply to big for the brother and sister to fully get their heads around. The deaths were also kind of meaningless to them - they were numb, still in shock and the deaths that really mattered had happened here on the farm. Jamie found himself humming a school playground song from his early years. "Ring, a ring o'roses A pocket...
07:30, 20 August The choice of the honeymoon suite as their 'home' was obviously appropriate, as brother and sister were as close and attentive as newly weds the next day. Laura was clearly in pain from her defloration and the number of times they had made love, but it was like a badge of honour to her, a sweet pain, a well-earned ache. She had her man and she wouldn't change anything about her first time with him. Every twinge she felt as she walked around reminded her of how he had felt...
Jamie and the girls landed at Dreghorn and were met by Stuart. While Jamie had been making his broadcast, the girls had completed the task Jamie had set them and he now had a delivery to make. There was another matter to take of first though and Jamie knew he had put it off long enough. "Stuart, how many of the terrorists do you have locked up here in the guardhouse?" he asked. "Eight in total. There are two adults who we think must have been part of the original virus attack and six...
Jamie had listened to Sir David suggesting that he hold a press conference to expose the US President's cover up, but an idea of his own had popped into his head. He would personally go and speak to POTUS. What had been done could have led to the slaughter of all of the remaining survivors across England. Jamie felt that was a good enough reason to want to look the man who had kept it hushed up in the eye. "No Sir David, I think I know how these people work now. It might be better if I was...
There weren't a lot of other people on the trail, but we saw a few as we walked. Eventually we got to the spot where my husband said the best birds were, and we set our bags down on one of the picnic tables. We got out our binoculars and pretty soon my husband was in his own little world, pointing out birds to me, and scribbling down all the ones he saw in his birding notebook. I got bored pretty quickly, and started playing some Hearthstone on my phone. At a little after ten, just as I...
Jamie was dog tired by the time he landed the Lynx back at Skibo. Once more the three girls waited in the reception area to welcome him back. Laura seemed far more at ease this time when Debbie and Christine hugged and kissed him passionately. Her position with Jamie was assured, of that she had no doubt and now she just smiled at the antics of the other two girls. The girls had waited for him before eating again and he joined them to wolf down some instant mash and tinned burgers. He...
At the Faslane naval base, Jamie was scratching his head as he tried to weigh up the pros and cons of a new situation. The skills audit at Fort William had turned up seven teenagers who claimed to be fairly experienced with large pleasure boats. Each had had a father who was nuts about boats (and other large boy's toys) and the teenagers had spent a fair amount of time learning how to pilot and navigate the craft. When Jamie had asked Stuart where the skilled teenagers were, he had been...
BIRDIE Winnie Winkle is my hero, a single mother who became the premiere fashion designer of our time. I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame; I wanted to be her disciple. So, after high school, I took off for the big city. Some of my friends were sharing a loft there; they worked some gigs in the theatre district, helping out here and there, and one place let them use their loft as a sort of studio apartment. But their space was cramped, and I had no money for rent, and no...
"Hold on Sir David," Laura said. "I'm thinking that we shouldn't be so hasty in publicising what we think has happened. There's a lot at stake here. There are thousands of teenagers here who are looking to Jamie to lead them and thousands of others holding out the hope that he's going to liberate them from the terrorists. I think the balance of advantage here lies in keeping this quiet for now." The Ambassador considered the young girl's words and realised she had a fair point. He...
It was 1958 and I had just graduated from high school. My step-father, a construction worker, had been divorced from my mother for several years. That summer he was working in a town a hundred miles away and, as usual, he was living out of a cheap motel room. Donny, one of my high school buddies, was working on the same job and staying with John, so it was inevitable that I should drive over for a weekend visit. I arrived on Friday evening to find a woman about my mother's age in the room...
I remember, early in my management career, wasting hour after hour developing long range plans, five year plans, expanded development plans, and the like. Somewhere along the line, the Boston Consulting Group and a variety of their clones had decided that the only way business could succeed was to have rigidly constructed plans to follow as a certain pathway to success. Bullshit! We knew it was bullshit when we first heard about it and we were right. We couldn't predict what was going to...
I had always been fascinated by birds, feathers not boobs I hasten to add. I was one of those c***dren that used to day dream about being able to fly and so passions grew and I became a wildlife photographer. I was able to make enough money to get by but that wasn’t the point, I was just happy to be out in the woods whenever possible with camera in hand. That might be why I never married, my wife would always have had to play second fiddle to my camera and I don’t think that is fair to put on...
07:38, 5 September Jamie was completely back to his old self the next morning and in fact had risen early to go for a walk around the Skibo grounds. He listened closely as he went, anxious to hear the sound of any other birds that might have escaped the virus attack, but on this occasion he was disappointed. Returning to the hotel, he proceeded to make a huge breakfast for everybody and it was probably the combined smells of freshly brewing coffee and cooking bacon that brought the girls...
They arrived back at the flock’s domed dwelling, the two humans ducking under the low doorway as they stepped through into the carpeted living area. The planet’s star was getting low in the sky, its pale glow dimming as it dipped below the horizon. “So where are me and Baker sleeping?” Jaeger asked, eyeing the bedroom warily. He didn’t know how he felt about sharing it with the whole flock, but they didn’t exactly have a fold-out couch, where else were they going to sleep? “Is there a...
George had been a landscape photographer for several years now. Hummingbirds were one of his favorite subjects. Over the years he had trekked all over Southern Arizona in search of rare species. In fact, on most days when it wasn’t too hot he would be out in search of them. This kept him in good shape and even though he was careful to apply sunscreen, he still had a bronze complexion. His friends called him the mountain man because he seemed to fit into nature.Today he decided to explore closer...
BIRDS OF A FEATHERThere is something magical about summer in England. The usually impossibly cold, staid atmosphere gives way to a sunny, cheery ambience. The dead, leafless trees, give way to colourful ones with flowers in full-bloom. The long, gloomy faces that one always encounters on the streets are replaced by joyful, exuberant, smiley faces. Everyone seems cheerful and happy to be alive until the winter comes around once again and the people become depressed and the faces revert to their...
“I can’t believe it, it’s unprecedented,” Doctor Evans said as she sat cross-legged on the deck across from one of the aliens. “Their mimicry was one thing, that’s not unheard of, but the rate at which they’re learning and applying the language is incredible. It’s like they have photographic memories, they don’t even need to practice. You give them information and they just ... retain it.” She set her tablet down, running her fingers through her dark hair and giving Jaeger a wide-eyed...
Andrea had invited her favorite side cock Tim over for sunning swimming and sex. She told me Saturday morning that she had invited him over and for me to stay out of their way. I asked if I had to leave for the day. She said no but don't interfere with them. I said OK. I was just putting away the pool cleaning equipment when I heard the patio door slide open. From the garden shed I watched Andrea and Tim walk to the pool. She was wearing a tiny yellow thong bikini bottom and that's all. Her...
James MacLaren hunched forward over the keyboard and screen of the computer in his bedroom. The bedroom door was locked to avoid any unwanted intrusions and there was a good reason for that. James was doing something he shouldn't be and he knew he would be in big trouble with the other members of his family if he was found out. He had recently turned fifteen and was what might be called a geek if he lived in the US. Here on his father's farm on the very western outskirts of Glasgow, he was...
Shafiq gazed out of the window of the white house, down the hill to the harbour of Oran. She and her team had arrived in darkness, but now the sun was up and she could feel its heat already beginning to build up. The house was nestled just below the cliff that formed the natural anchorage, a cliff that rose to a peak on her left as she gazed out onto the Mediterranean Sea. The rock was arid, dry, with some low growing brush along the clifftop. The village proper was further back atop the...
Laura continued to scream at her abductors from the rear seat of the jeep. The man in the passenger seat turned and pointed a rifle at her between the two front seats. She could see his black eyes glinting with anger and she knew her time was up. That thought had just gone through her head when the man lunged forward, jabbing the muzzle of the rifle hard into her belly. The air whooshed out of her and pain exploded through her body. "Shut up you little whore!" he screamed at her. With...
17:12, 3 August By chance, Laura happened to be close by Assam when the two terrorists who had grabbed her came running into the prayer hall. Assam had been talking to Fisah and Laura was trying to remain close to the woman in the hope of getting to speak to her again. Laura was sitting on the floor pretending to read the little, green-covered book that she had been given. The book was an English version of the Qu'ran and a copy had been given to every teenager in the hall. "Assam! Assam,...
07:12, 6 August Jamie had elected to spend the night in the honeymoon suite at Skibo Castle. All of the bedrooms in the hotel were plush to say the least, but the luxury of the honeymoon suite was something else again. He'd snacked on the nuts and crisps that he had found in the mini-bar and then relaxed in the Jacuzzi that the suite had. The powerful jets of water helped soothe his tired and rigid muscles, allowing him to realise the constant tension he had been living with for days...
Jamie couldn't be sure, but he felt that Fisah was flirting with him. If she was, it was admittedly subtle and Laura hadn't picked up on it. If she did, Jamie expected her to get annoyed at her new friend. Of course, he knew he was very inexperienced at these things and could well be absolutely wrong, but there were little things, Fisah would drop her head a little and look at him through her long black lashes, almost shyly. She was constantly brushing his arm and shoulder with her hand,...
Jamie sat and simmered in the hotel kitchen. He felt unclean, used and a complete fool. His instincts had told him something wasn't right about Fisah and her very quick and sudden need to have sex with him. The kiss he had shared with Laura had been soulful and somehow pure, despite the fact she was his sister. With Fisah it had been nothing but lust and teenage hormones. Now he had overheard her admitting that she was trying to use sex to control him, to help make it easier to capture him...
The weeks of teasing and the more recent increase in physical contact between brother and sister had built the sense of excitement and anticipation. Laura felt as if her legs were going to give out under her as they seemed to have turned to jelly. She relied on her brother's strong arms to keep her upright and loved the feeling of security that washed over her. Jamie's mouth covered hers and their kiss was everything a girl could ever dream of. Her heart was hammering in her chest as she...
19:59, 15 August Assam knew he would have to hit the hotel before the Chinese teenagers became too unnerved at their missing friend. He watched the front of the hotel from across the street where his surveillance team had been based and was pleased to see there was no one keeping watch on the entrance. "Too easy, it's like taking candy from a baby," he thought to himself. He had a combined force of twenty heavily armed men and teenagers with him and he planned to storm the hotel and...
Jamie had an internal debate with himself the next morning as he ate breakfast. Skibo was an absolutely fabulous location, but it hadn't worked out as he had planned things and it left him and the girls kind of isolated. He now wondered whether it might not be better to move down to Fort William to be with the others. He decided it was only fair to ask the girls what they thought. "Girls, I've been wondering. Do you think we're too cut off here at Skibo? Maybe it would be better if we...
Jamie felt his head swim with the implications of what Britain's Ambassador had just said. It took him some time before he could marshal his thoughts and respond to the figure he could see on his computer screen. "Let me get this straight, you're saying that the surviving teenagers can just select someone to be the King of Scots and that person would legally be the King? The rest of the world would have to accept it? What kind of powers would such a person have?" he managed to get out at...
Jamie was keen to hook up with the Ambassador, Sir David Manning as quickly as possible after his coronation. The sooner the diplomatic efforts to release the expats began the better. He brought the helicopter in to land at Skibo and mentally stopped himself from rushing through the shut down procedures. Once he had completed what he had to do, he jumped down onto Skibo's rapidly growing lawns and joined his sister and Debbie and Christine. Stuart had remained at Dreghorn to review how...
The two teams split up and individual members began to spread out to circle the dormitory buildings. There were three in all, relatively close together and that allowed all twelve to keep in touch with their throat mics and earpieces. One of Stuart's team had come equipped with a special army video camera that could film what was going on in low light. Jamie had learned the value of marketing and he hoped to get some further footage for the SIS web site. Half an hour later, they were sure...
08:30, 30 August Jamie woke with a nagging, throbbing pain in his back. He tried to ignore it as he let his brain wrestle with the issues he still faced. If the Pakistani teenager had been accurate, there were still four camps holding captive survivors, two in Glasgow and two in Edinburgh and he needed to come up with a plan to liberate them as soon as possible. He was also thinking about all of the expats sailing across the Atlantic in their various sized boats. He had no way of knowing...
Once again the Chief Justice lifted the phone and carried out an act that at the very least would have been viewed by his fellow Justices, the media and the population at large as irregular. He connected with the White House and within less than a minute was talking directly to the President. "Chief Justice Roberts, what can I do for you?" asked POTUS. "It's more what I can do for you Mr President. It might sound unbelievably quick, but SCOTUS has reached a preliminary judgement on the...
21:32, 7 September It had been a long day. Jamie and the girls hadn't slept at all, working through the night after meeting the first flight of expats at Glasgow Airport. Jamie had ferried medical staff from the airports to the Western General Hospital so they could treat the wounded from the 'last battle' and the girls had tried their best to be auxiliary nurses. Laura had been deeply affected by the experience. At first she had felt as if she was going to faint when she had to stand...
Once again Jamie managed to catch some sleep on the flight across the Atlantic. The security detail kept a close eye on the terrorist and their monarch, politely heading-off those adults on the flight who approached to get a look at their King. When Jamie awoke he made a point of moving through the cabin, speaking to people and finding out a little about them. He seemed to have a natural ability to put people at their ease and get them to open up. Many of the adults had watched his broadcast...
The two SAS men took up station outside the house while Kalif and Sally remained inside. They knew that both the Glasgow and Edinburgh cells had been based around six adults each, so the fact that only four adults were accounted for here in Manchester left them potentially with two tangos still to find. The wait wasn't long. Thirty-five minutes later, a jeep turned into Parkville Road and came towards the house. The street was deserted apart from the approaching vehicle and as it drew level...
The redhead dabbed and powdered herself dry, smiling as she listened to the moans of her captive, and totally broken, shell of a husband as he got over his pre-meal caning. Punishing him alone had tired her out and she was so grateful to have found Maria. The Eastern maid had a spiteful energy which was unrelenting, and she applied her natural dominance over males with a relish and vigour which amazed even Elaine. She often accompanied her employer to social events as a perk of the job; her...
Elaine watched, hands on hips with a sneering look of contempt on the outside, and a deep sense of satisfaction on the inside, as Gordon moaned with pleasure as he gratefully jetted his load of hot semen onto the dominant woman's riding boots. His back and ass cheeks striped red with punishment from his new mistress, gyrated back and forth as he emptied his balls in complete submission to the superior redhead. He was willing to give her everything, and he shortly would; like many other men...
Too late did Gordon Smith realise his admission of submissiveness to the glorious redheaded goddess was permanent and possibly fatal. He now knew he was trapped and doomed to a life of servitude to the feminine gender. He was led naked through Lana's luxurious house to a patio at the rear. He was made to kneel and face the secluded garden area, and his heart was in his mouth and his cock rigid with fear and anticipation as he viewed an ominous looking post, set with nasty looking shackles,...
Gordon watched the pencil-skirted Penny strut into the house with her attaché case, drop this into a chair and strip. She smiled broadly as she returned across the lawn, naked, as though this were routine. Gordon's back stung like hell but his cock rose as even the scent of the three naked women took control of him now. The assertive blonde smiled down at the leashed and punished Gordon. "Oh I do so love to have my asshole licked by a male who is about to whipped to submission. You'll...
Angela was nicely aroused as she took great pleasure at ordering the new maid about the store premises. The two younger assistants also took great pleasure in chiding the maid at every opportunity; neither of the two younger girls was quite sure just why it gave their pussies such a buzz, but they found they enjoyed it more and more, particularly Melanie, to whom Gordon had been particularly strict about her timekeeping etcetera. Elaine grinned with pleasure as she saw the growing enjoyment...
Elaine's pussy tingled with excitement as she sat amongst her prospective victims and was not to be brow-beaten, she settled down in her new position with aplomb, despite the protestations of Fox-Janner. The other members viewed her nervously and with a certain interest; some knew of Gordon's particular interests in dominant women and had similar tendencies, their interest was very apparent within their underwear. In turn Elaine gently and casually eyed the other members as she adjusted her...
Gordon had had plenty of time to ponder his capitulation, and the divine sense of realisation was magnified as he felt the presence of the three superior beings around him, whilst directly imbibing the delectable essences of, arguably, the most dominant of the three. He was given a full minute to sniff between Lana's inviting cheeks; the three women thoroughly enjoying having ensured the reason for his being there through his own foolishness was planted deep within his mind; their sense of...
Elaine had a few tasks to complete at the golf club; not least, being noticed by some of the board members as she placed a large advertisement for the Equestrian Centre on the notice boards about the club; not only was this fuelled by her love of the sport, she also knew the promise of prim women with jodhpurs and riding crops, and the whiff of leather was very attractive to males with submissive streaks. She would employ any tool which gave her the remotest chance of enslaving a male;...
Gordon was walked home in full ceremony; the superbly dominant Maria zigzagging across streets and taking the longest route possible home from the park. Gordon was close to coming in the elasticated suit as he watched the delectable ass of the Eastern woman ripple and bulge in the tight cat suit as she strutted before him; leash in the one hand, cane in the other. Gordon received the final sneers from passing women as they neared Elaine's house once more; he had been humiliated in an extreme...
No less than three of the board members turned up at the Equestrian Centre open day; as expected, Clyde Wilson was one of them, and his manhood twitched excitedly as he viewed the illustrious redhead; she was indeed a different woman, her full thighs and ass resplendent in her tight jodhpurs. Her equally tight riding jacket was specially made, slightly shorter than standard, to accentuate that beautiful rounded ass; its tightness acting like a corset, displaying her mature breasts to full...
Fox-Janner was livid as a matronly woman occupied Miles Dunton's seat, and a very stern looking large and buxom woman with glasses, every inch the strict schoolmistress, sat in place of the diminutive Marlon Baker; though concerned by Clyde Wilson's absence, he was relieved when the seat remained empty. The remaining males gawped at the two new women; their balls tingling with a sense of curiosity and an underlying and undeniable acceptance that they were being taken over; some pondered the...
Clyde made sure he recorded everything as Fox-Janner greeted the soft blonde, not with a kiss, but a harsh slap about the face; he then virtually dragged the distressed nymph up the stairs, his cock poking up and lifting the black silk. In the bedroom he ordered her to strip, and with just her panties on, he pulled her down on to her knees by her long blonde hair and thrust his cock into her face. Though not exactly endeared by Fox-Janner's actions, Clyde's balls tingled and his cock...
