There were bellhops ready and waiting at the hotel to take our luggage. They were all wearing green badges, which contrasted with their red uniform jackets.
“People with green badges like this are civilians. If they don’t have a badge on at all, then it might be a test from corporate, or not. But that’s our inviolate rule. Green badge means good guy,” Melvin said as he held the door for us. “And this is first night. We’re not going to have much happen tonight, other than dinner.”
“Why do I feel like this isn’t a regular kind of Christmas Party?”
Mike laughed. “Because it’s not, is the easiest way to say that.”
We left Melvin and Stephen at the cars. As a group, we walked up to the check-in desk. The lady behind the desk also was wearing a green badge. “Party name, please?”
Mike said, “Douglas for corporate, Lewis for principal.”
“Thank you, sir. I have your room keys here. I see you’ve stayed with us before, but your agents have not, nor have your principals. I show you have two principals, is that correct?”
“Yes. Mister Cal Lewis. Miss Jennifer Lewis.”
“That’s correct and matches.” She looked up from her computer. “Welcome to the Marriott and the Wackenhut Christmas party. For your safety, please wear these yellow badges and lanyards at all times you are not in your rooms. As principals, you have full and unlimited access to all of our amenities, including the weight room, pool, and sauna. You also have full and unlimited personal access to our dining facilities, as well as both clubs. Please note that there has been a yellow sign placed upon your door, indicating that your room is off limits to others. All principals have this same sign on their doors. Please respect their privacy unless invited in by the principal staying in that room. If you do go in, simply be aware that all charges for damages to rooms will be billed to you personally, not to any corporate accounts.”
What the fuck were we getting into here?
“Gentlemen and lady, you are employees of, and here for, the Wackenhut Christmas Party. Once you reach your principal’s room, please put all of your firearms in the safe in that room. Absolutely no loaded firearms are allowed upon the premises or during any of the activities. This includes those firearms modified to fire less than lethal or other rounds. Use of non-standard projectile weapons is also forbidden, including but not limited to, slingshots, bow and arrow, crossbow, paintball, catapults, either built or improvised from surgical tubing and funnels, or dart guns. Standard first aid equipment will be available as always. The Jupiter Medical Center has increased their staffing for this event, so there should be no delays this year in treating any serious injuries.”
“Thank you all very much, here are your key cards, and I hope you have a pleasant stay.”
Jennifer had to help me slip my yellow badge and lanyard on, I was rather shocked by what the clerk had said. “Come on, Toto,” she said, pulling me along.
I shook my head, but followed the bellhop that was leading us. He took us up to the third floor, where we had four rooms in total. Mike gave all of us a key card. Even the cards that Jennifer and I were given were bright yellow. I unlocked the door to our room, with Chuck going in first and giving it a quick look through. The bellhop simply stood there, like he was expecting it. When Chuck finally said, “Clear,” the bellhop pushed the cart with our luggage on it into the room.
It was a small suite, with a queen sized bed, work area with table and chairs, couch and a couple of chairs as well for conversation, television, refrigerator stocked with drinks, and another large television. I looked in, and it had a large bathroom, complete with Jacuzzi tub. The bellhop put our luggage on the racks, put our hanging clothes up, our golf clubs in a corner, and then moved over to what I thought was a closet door.
“Folks, as you heard, no Wackenhut employees may have loaded weapons during this event. Mister Lewis, may I use your card, please?” I handed it to him. “Thank you.” He plugged it into a slot on the door. It clicked, and then silently swung open.
“There is room in here for up to ten long rifles or shotguns, plus shelves for more than enough regular handguns like you all have. If you would all please put your weapons in the safe, I need to verify that they’ve been placed inside and secured.”
I was surprised to see Mike immediately take his belt and ankle holster off and put them into the safe. “Come on, guys. All of them. That includes your bra gun, Angela.”
Jennifer gave me a look, and I slightly shook my head. I’d been paying attention to what was said. We weren’t Wackenhut employees.
Once all of the handguns were in the safe, the bellhop shut it. “Thank you. This is on a time lock. It will automatically open again Saturday morning at eight. The pool is open until midnight, so is the sauna. Weight room is open twenty-four hours per day, with key card entry. All rooms have a stocked refrigerator. The contents of the one in this room only are free, the ones in the rest of the rooms are typical cash bar. We here at the Marriott hope you have a comfortable, and safe, stay.” Jennifer handed him $20. “Thank you, Ma’am. Dinner tonight is in the main dining room, service starts at nine. Even if it clashes with your outfits, please wear your yellow badges.”
He went back into the hallway, then put the luggage into the other rooms quickly, before leaving.
Mike said, “Quick conference, then everyone start getting ready. Stay in your rooms until ten minutes till nine, then come out. That’ll give us time to get downstairs and to our table. First, thank you for shaking your head at Jennifer, Cal. You shouldn’t need it at all, but better to have it. Second, the reason for all the rules regarding firearms is very simple, and should not affect us in any way. Wackenhut is international. We have clients in the Middle East and in Israel. Polish Jews and Germans. Japanese and Koreans. Armenians and Turks. In other words, a lot of people that hate each other. The last two parties I’ve attended, trouble was limited to only half of the groups present. As a side note, if you see someone walking around armed with a sword, saber, or other large cutting device, assume that they ARE an expert at using it, and that they WILL use it if need be.”
“We started the yellow badges three years ago, and it’s cut down on a lot of issues, because the principals are the ones who tend to start things. That’s also why the warning about going into another principal’s room, because blood stains typically require full furniture replacement. So, black tie and elegant dress for Cal and Jennifer, Angela and Chuck get to show off some of what they got at Disney, and the rest of us, business professional. We have just under two hours. Let’s go.”
They all left, shutting the door behind them.
I looked at Jennifer. “Normally, I would say, let’s get in the shower together, but...”
“Yeah, but...” She blinked a couple of times. “Apparently this isn’t quite the romantic getaway that everyone else thought it would be.”
“We can make it that way, my love.” With the comments that I’d heard, I was almost a little paranoid. I used my vision to quickly look around the room, then checked in the bathroom. “Well, there don’t appear to be any listening devices or hidden cameras in here.” I looked up at the smoke detectors again, just to make sure.
“I’ll make sure our clothes are fine, no wrinkles from being in the hanging bag, and check our shoes, if you want to get into the shower. I know it’ll take you longer to do your hair and make-up than it will me, obviously.”
While she did that, I pulled the comforter and blankets down, scanning the bed for small critters that might bite Jennifer in the night. It was free of those. I got my tuxedo out, used a polishing rag to take two small scuffs off her shoes and one off of mine. They had a steamer in the room that I quickly figured out how to use, to get one wrinkle from the bottom of my pants, and another from along the hem of her dress.
With the golf game in the morning, I double checked all of our clubs, and made sure our shoes were cleaned and ready to go. I stuck the bag with the money and diamonds in the bottom of my golf bag. After fifteen minutes, I heard the water shut off. About ten minutes later, she said, “Okay, Cal, you can get your shower.” She was wearing a robe, standing in front of the mirror with a tremendous number of hair tools in front of her. “It’ll take me every bit of an hour to get my hair done right. Is everything else ready?”
“I like that dress. It looks like you need high cut panties with that. What about a bra? I didn’t lay your underwear out.”
“Panties are in the top compartment of the suitcase, and for this dress, I’ll need your help putting on breast tape.”
“Um ... what’s that?”
“Marcia has a lot of it, because some of the Star Trek outfits she has are ... somewhat worse than scandalous. It’s a seriously adhesive double sided tape. Once I’m completely dry, I peel one side off and stick it to me. Then we position the dress exactly so, then peel the other side off and stick the dress to it. That’s a sleeveless and backless gown anyway, with just a simple loop to help provide uplift that goes around my neck, so there’s no way to wear a bra with it.”
“If I die from frustration after seeing you in it, the others aren’t going to be happy with you.”
“It’s even better. No hose. That’s why I wore those ugly shoes down here, so I didn’t have to touch up my toenails or fingernails.”
“I think on that note, I’m going to get in the shower. If I blow a hole in the side of the hotel, do you think they’ll bill me?”
She giggled. “Oh, my. You ARE going to be frustrated for a while tonight. Good. I’m looking forward to our after dinner entertainment.”
I shook my head, then let her continue getting ready without interruption.
At ten minutes until nine, Jennifer was carrying a small clutch. We both had the stupid yellow badges on, and they definitely clashed. I started to open my door, which seemed to be the signal for everyone to open theirs.
Chuck and Angela walked over to us, taking up positions to our outside, while the rest of the group just stared in shock at how the four of us looked. Mike shook his head, then said, “Ben, elevator. Randy, you’re on six.”
Ben pushed the button. The elevator that opened was empty. He stepped in, quickly looked it over, then nodded. We got on, then headed downstairs. It opened on the ground floor. In the lobby, there was a man wearing a suit, but also a green badge.
“Your dinner party is this way, folks. Turn left at the end of the hallway, and you’ll be escorted to your table from there.”
We followed his instructions. At the end of the hallway, we turned. The hall continued, with several doors opening off to the left. The first two were shut, but the third had a small table set up, with several people sitting there. Three of them wore green badges, but one of them didn’t. A lady with a green badge on and a clipboard said, “Corporate and principal name, please.”
“Douglas for corporate, Lewis for principal,” Mike said.
“Thank you. Pamela will escort you to your table.” The woman not wearing a badge stood up.
Mike shook his head. “No, she won’t. You’re wearing green, you’re supposed to be a good guy.”
“Oh, my apologies. Lee Anne will escort you to your table.” This time the woman that stood up was wearing a green badge.” As she came around the table, Mike glanced at Pamela.
“Got anyone with that trick yet this year, Barb?”
“Just one, Mike. You know how hard-headed some people can be.”
“Yes, I do.” We followed Lee Anne in through the doorway. The dining room was quite large, easily the size of our entire basketball court and stands, but only a couple of stories tall. At center court was about a fifteen foot square raised platform, with spotlights aimed towards it. There were a dozen round tables sort of arranged in a circle around the platform. Then there were two more circles of tables behind those, for what at first glance looked to be about fifty total tables in the room. Most of them were occupied already.
Lee Anne led us to two tables in the second row, on the right hand side of where we’d come in. There were eight chairs at each table, with two having yellow napkins in front of them on the table to the right. I held the chair for Jennifer, so she could sit down, then I took the seat to her right. Angela sat to Jennifer’s left with Chuck on my right. Mike and Brad both sat facing the stage in the center chairs of our second table, while Eric and Randy sat in chairs with their backs to the stage.
People were sitting rather quietly, not getting up and milling around, which I thought was interesting. Then I realized how intensely, everyone was looking around the room at everyone else, without actually trying to look around at each other. After a minute went by, one more group was escorted in, to a group of tables on the third row. There was one table in the front row that was empty. I was puzzled by that, but from the angle I was sitting, I couldn’t actually tell from a name tag who was supposed to be sitting there.
The lights around the perimeter of the room dimmed slightly. A man who hadn’t been sitting at any of the tables walked in, then up onto the stage, holding a microphone.
“Thank you all for coming here tonight, to help us celebrate this week the eighteenth annual Wackenhut Corporation Principal’s Christmas Party. For those of you who’ve never met me ... shame on you. You’re paying me a lot of money, and you should at least have a face to go with the name. I’m George Wackenhut. I’ll grant you that three of you are new clients this year, so that’s understandable.
“This has become a bit of a tradition for our company. You get to see our operatives on a daily basis, doing their job protecting you. But you are also involved in ... well, high finances. Getting together with others of your wealth, status, and industry isn’t quite as simple as just running over to the corner pub or local market. This party has evolved into a way that you can meet with your peers, while at the same time, allowing us to recognize the people that work to keep you safe. And twelve of you had that happen for real this year.”
The door opened and three women came walking in, two wearing yellow badges, one with a blue badge on. There were only two other people with them. They were escorted to the empty table in the front row.
I could hear a couple of voices from other tables murmuring about them being late to the party like usual.
“Tess, glad to see that you and your daughter made it this year,” George said.
Tess had a British accent. “Of course, George. Did we miss the introductions like I’d planned?”
“Sorry, no. You’re stuck again this year.” A few tables politely chuckled at that. “Now, as I was saying, tonight is our way of saying thank you to you, as our principal’s, for allowing us the privilege of protecting you, and in many cases your properties.” He paused for a moment.
“Now, since there are three of you in this group that are new to the Wackenhut family, and an additional four of you have never attended our Christmas party before, I probably should explain some things that may be puzzling you. The whole badge thing, for one. You see your protection team daily. We don’t. We trained them, and you write us a very nice check monthly so that we pay them, but we don’t get to see them in action, to see how good of a job they’re doing for you. So, we have operational testing going on during this time.
“An example was when each of you was picked up at the airport. Another was when you were brought in to your seat. During the meal this evening, and for the rest of tonight, there will be no further testing. Tomorrow ... that’s another story. Green badge people either work for the hotel, the restaurant, or are otherwise considered neutrals. Their job is to fill in the vital role of simply running this party. That does not mean they won’t hand you off to someone whose job it is to test you, as two of you found out.
“Yellow badges. You are the principals. There are thirty-six of you, representing twenty-eight different organizations or families that we provide your security. Blue badges. You are part of the principal’s party, someone we protect, but in the hierarchy of your organization, a secondary priority to the yellow badge holder. As our trainers may not know who in your organization is the person who needs to be protected, during a training exercise, this is our way of assisting them, and of identifying you in the event of any accidents.
“Lastly, as some of you are rivals in business, politics, or simply personally hate each other, the same rule that we started a few years ago applies. No one with a yellow badge may go into another yellow badge room without being invited. And the consequences for you doing so are completely on you. Neither the hotel nor Wackenhut will accept any responsibility for damages, injuries, or fatalities.
“Now, I’m going to come around the room, to each group of tables. If the principals at each table would stand up and introduce themselves, that way we all can get to know each other. When that’s done, they’ll start with the soup. If you would all please wait until dessert to begin mingling, that’d be great.” While he was talking, he walked over to a table in the inner row.
The first table had a man with the yellow badge that looked to be about sixty sitting at it, along with three women with blue badges. From their dress, they were obviously Japanese. The man stood up, then in perfect English, said, “I am Haruhiko Yashimoto, owner of Yashimoto Tochi-Tatemono, Yashimoto Real Estate and Property Development. Six billion.”
He sat down, then George went to the next table. That man had a serious accent. “Hi, y’all. H. Ross Perot, out of Dallas, and this is my wife, Margot. I started Electronic Data Systems, just sold that for a couple billion, also into real estate. Eight billion, total.”
The next group of tables had one man with a yellow badge, and several other men and women with blue badges. “I am Sheikh Sulaiman bin Abdulaziz Al Rajhi. These are some of my children. With my brothers, we started and own the Al Rajhi Trading and Exchange Company. Current value, thirty billion.”
The next table answered a question I had. George said, “This is your first year with us. Just introduce yourself, your wife, a little about what you do, and your total corporate wealth, not personal.”
“Gotcha, mate. I’m Robert Holmes à Court, my wife, Janet. We’re from Australia, if you didn’t figure it from the accent. I own Bell Group, about seven billion.”
From the murmurs at a table behind us, he wasn’t a popular man with them.
George continued around the room, skipping the women that had come in late, then starting on the second row of tables. From the far side of the stage, I was surprised to hear a familiar voice. “Charles Koch, my wife Liz, and my brother David. We own Koch Industries, and are investing heavily in a new group, CEDEM Financial. Three billion.”
George said, “See, that’s why we like to have this. Charles and David know of this company that’s taking off, making them wealthier, and they’re sharing that with all of you.”
I leaned over to Chuck. “Why haven’t I seen the security around Charlie and Dave that you guys have around me?” I whispered.
“You haven’t been to their house. And they’re established, not turning the world on its ear,” he whispered back.
After a couple more minutes, George made it to our table. “I know that this is your first year with us, and you’re one of our clients that had an agent show his level of dedication to protecting you and your family by taking a bullet earlier this year.” He handed me the microphone.
I stood up. “Two bullets, actually, and fortunately he was wearing a vest, which meant the three men that had guns drawn didn’t take anyone with them when they were shot and killed seconds later.” I raised my hand up in a wave, across the room. “Charlie, Dave, Liz, hello. Everyone, I’m Cal Lewis, this is one of my ladies, Jennifer.” She stood up next to me, and I heard the intake of breath from a LOT of people in the room, both men and women.
“I’m the owner of CaLe, Incorporated, and President and CEO of CEDEM Financial. Our marketing slogan is, just as the sedum plant is good for any garden, CEDEM Financial is good for any of your financial needs. And if you figure the total value of not just what we have in liquid assets, but in total, between the companies that we own shares and interest in that listen to us ... about thirty billion, would be my estimate.”
At the murmurs that came from around the room, my comment took a lot of people by surprise.
It also didn’t go unchallenged. One of the men sitting with Al Rajhi, wearing a blue badge yelled out, “Who would listen to a boy who doesn’t look old enough that his balls have even dropped yet?”
I just laughed at him, then said, in Arabic, “Not only have they dropped, but they work quite well, as my lady carries my unborn child in her womb. How many goats have you tried to breed with, since no woman would ever lay with you? Or is it camels you prefer?”
I halfway thought he was going to come out of his chair and rush me, but the sudden clapping of hands by the oldest woman sitting at the front table made him pause. He stopped, looking at her with fury in his eyes. She simply said, “Sit down. You lost, Mister Lewis won. Don’t embarrass yourself or your family here, tonight.”
That made everyone else give me a round of applause, which I wasn’t expecting.
We made it through the rest of the introductions, then finally George went to the front table, handing her the microphone. “Oh, very well, George. There are some here who don’t know me, after all. I am Teresa, Lady Rothschild, this is Serena and her daughter, Hannah. My husband is Victor, Baron Rothschild, and, of course, we control Rothschild and Company. Around four hundred billion,” she said, smiling politely.
After that, the soup was served.
I was surprised that the main course was a filet mignon with prawns, considering the cost involved. I made small talk with Jennifer, and ended up eating about a fourth of her filet that she couldn’t finish. I noticed that everyone seemed to respect George’s request, though.
When the last plate was picked up, and the servers came around with coffee, ice cream, cakes, and chocolates, that seemed to be like ringing a bell. The volume in the room increased, and people suddenly got up and started going around to other tables. It appeared that protocol allowed them to bring their dessert and drink with them, too.
The first thing that happened at our table was that someone from the outer row, behind us, came up to our table.
“You’re that miracle kid from Kansas, aren’t you? The football quarterback that’s also a financial genius?” The man had an east coast accent, and was standing back several inches from my seat.
I stood up and turned, Jennifer with me. He looked like he was about 40, with sandy brown hair and some weird eyebrows. The woman next to him had garish blonde hair. He was dressed nicely, though, and only a couple of inches taller than me.
“So I’ve been told. Even though we all said our names before, I’m Cal Lewis,” I said as I held my hand out.
“Pleasure to meet you. Donald Trump, and this is my wife, Ivana. I develop real estate in the New York area.”
“I’ve heard of you. You’ll get there one day, don’t worry about any set-backs. You might consider diversifying a little, though.”
He tilted his head to one side slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Simple, really. I’m from Kansas. Lots of open land. To close a recent deal, I flew to San Francisco. Stayed in a rather nice hotel there, about $300 per night. On another deal, I had to fly into New York, and stay in what was supposed to be a nice hotel there, that cost $400 per night, and our room was half the size of the one in California. I realize that land space in New York is limited, so you have to build up. But I can’t be the only one that would rather drive an hour and have plenty of comfort. The other thing is don’t be a one-trick pony, if I’m using that phrase right.”
Now he leaned back a little, with his eyes half closed, but I could tell he was paying attention.
“Again, you want a base for diversification. I own 8 sections of land near Hutchinson, Kansas. That’s my base. I’m building factories on three of those sections, for different kinds of manufacturing. One of those sections has a chemical plant already finished on it. Dave and Charlie Koch have a part of that. The other four sections are for residential and commercial. Four thousand single family homes, apartment complexes, grocery stores, everything that the people that are going to work at those factories and live in those houses are going to need. I’m expanding the airport, and we’re buying more small business jets to provide an air fleet not just for me, but for my partners. Diversification of income, and of expenses, so that way if one thing has an issue, there’s no trouble.”
“Just for my own clarification, you’re saying that you own eight square miles of land?”
“Yep. I didn’t see him here, but I presume you’ve heard of Microsoft and Bill Gates.” Trump nodded, a frown now on his face. “When he sold me part of Microsoft, one of the things we discussed is land. He needs land for research parks, and programmers. Seattle’s great, but land out there is thousands of dollars per acre. I bought land for a few hundred dollars per acre, and can build his entire research park for less than he would spend on land alone.”
I’d noticed two older men had walked up behind Trump and were listening in. They were both nodding at what I said. The one on the right said, “I think you ought to listen to this young man, Donald. How’s your father doing?”
Trump turned, and smiled at both men, holding his hand out. “He’s holding his own, gentlemen. Cal, this is David and Laurance Rockefeller. Gentlemen, how are the two of you doing?”
“We’re fine, Donald. Thank you for asking. You and the missus are up to three now, if I recall correctly.”
“Yes, Mister Rockefeller, that’s right. Our youngest, Eric, will be one next month,” Ivana said.
“Raise them right, so they don’t turn out like my oldest daughter. Jesus, what a nut. Where the hell does she think the family money comes from, that let her get those crazy ideas? What about you, boy? What are your thoughts?”
“I, uh, have a lot of thoughts, Sir. But I can’t give you a reply unless I specifically know what you’re asking about.”
“Sharp one, aren’t you? What do you think, Laurance? Any of the granddaughters about his age?”
“David, this boy has himself a fine looking woman already, or are you blind?”
David Rockefeller moved a little. “Apologies, young lady. I truly couldn’t see you because I was standing behind Donald, here.”
Jennifer frostily said, “Accepted.”
“So, what I was talking about was the wealth. We all have it. Some of us inherited some of it, but we’re all supposed to be growing it.” He turned to Donald and gave him a slight nod, then turned back to me. “Sounds like you’re doing a bit of that venture capital that Laurance does, helping other companies.”
“You take some money, use it to make more money by helping someone, then take that money that you’ve made doing that, and help other people. Pretty soon, you’ve got a whole bunch of people that you’ve helped, and you own a piece of all their businesses. Not much; it doesn’t take much. But you can keep right on going, and with the right ideas, you can change the world for the better,” I said. “No one said you can’t make a fortune along the way. But you don’t need that much money to live on, really. So you keep going, and pretty soon your small fortune is a big fortune, and in the meantime, you’ve helped a lot of people get small fortunes of their own.”
“Nice talking to you, Donald, Ivana. Tell Fred we said ‘Hi,’ next time you see him. Young man, would you and your young lady come with us?”
I looked a little shocked at that, glancing at Mike. His nod was almost imperceptible. I said, “Sure. Jennifer, allow me to carry your coffee, if you’d get your purse...”
While there weren’t many people actually up and walking around, I hadn’t noticed until just now that they were all wearing yellow badges, or green badges from the staff. No one from ANY of the security teams were out of their chairs.
We didn’t make it all the way to where ever David and Laurance were leading us in the room before Charlie Koch stopped us. “Gentlemen, Cal, Jennifer. I think David, Liz, and I are going to call it an early evening. Cal, if you want, you’re always welcome in our suite while we’re here.” He looked around. “Half the people that were here last year aren’t here this year, and that’s a shame. I thought we were going to get to do business like we did before. Good luck.”
David Rockefeller looked at Charlie’s back. “For what he does, he’s right. But the world isn’t the same place that it was last year, either.”
I made it into our house before I removed my outfit, then ran through the house, into our bedroom, and just fell face first onto the bed. I felt it move with four girls getting onto it, around me. We did have tissues in there, which one of the others handed to Margie, so she had several in hand when I finally raised my head up. She and Beth were both stroking my hair, Dora and Eve were rubbing my back. “You must think me incredibly childish about now,” I said. Margie and Beth both leaned...
The ride wasn’t that difficult for me, since I could ignore any of the physical difficulties. Jennifer and Hannah sat next to each other and tapped Morse code back and forth for most of the way, since it was too loud to talk without shouting. Elroy showed this wasn’t his first time in an airplane’s cargo bay by promptly falling asleep. While there was a temperature difference when we landed, the four of us weren’t allowed much time to get adjusted before being hustled into one of our small...
I wasn’t bored during the ride. I also learned our transportation was called a pick-up truck. Betty and Harry told me more about the political and economic makeup of the United States. I realized that I’d have to know quite a bit if I was to pass myself off as a child entering the school system. We pulled up in front of a building with a sign outside reading, Burnell Fine Jewelry. “Cal, better let me carry the box. It won’t quite look right for a...” There was a young woman walking out the...
After we handed out just over 6,000 of the coins, I got back with everyone to see what else, if anything, we needed to do. It turned out that the members of the media were doing some in depth interviews with the people from Siemens, Microsoft, Cisco, and learning about Ice-X, while we were handing coins out. Before I got roped into any of them, SJ found me. Gunny Patterson and Ramona were both with him. “Hey, Cal. Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end. The Gunny is going to...
Once she pulled back because she couldn’t breathe, Dora took her place to do the same thing. When she stepped back, I just shook my head. “I’m guessing that Beth wasn’t the only witness to what I saw, then?” “It was ... fuzzy ... at times. I could tell you were saying something, but I couldn’t hear what you said, or what that man said back to you. When they shot you in the chest with that grenade, and it did nothing, I felt so relieved,” Eve said. “Si. I completely lost you when you drilled...
Betty felt much better the next morning. She was just exhausted from too much sex the night before. We had a quick breakfast of eggs, sausage, and toast. Harry called his boss and told him he had a major family emergency come up, and he’d need some time off. Not surprisingly, his boss told him to take all the time he needed, because he was fired. I expected Betty to be more upset about that news than she was. Instead, she just looked at me and said, “That’ll free Dad up to help you with...
At breakfast the next morning, there was a discussion I’d hoped to avoid. “Cal, I have a question for you, regarding something you said Sunday.” “Sure, Beth, what is it?” She frowned. “You told Sophia that having the stones inside lead would be fine for the next couple of years. Somehow, I got the feeling that you weren’t talking about the time that we’re going to be in California when you were referencing that frame. Why?” “Because I wasn’t. I didn’t particularly want to worry the rest...
“Sure. You want some lunch, or something to drink? I can stop at Sonic.” His face was grim. “Thank you, but no.” “Okay. That’s sufficiently mysterious for me,” I said, with a little grin. I drove south of town, but instead of turning to go home, kept going south on Lorraine, to the curve. Then I went off the road, back in towards the river, where some people dumped trash at times. I rolled my window down, he did the same. “Is this private enough for you?” “Yeah, thanks.” He sighed. “Damn....
When I walked into the entryway, I realized that things were not exactly what I had expected to find when I got home. Someone had been busy. None of our furniture was in the room, and while the TV was still in the corner, there were large posters of a tree in front of it. The girls were all wearing white cheerleader outfits with the Stanford ‘S’ in the middle. They each had a set of red and white pom-poms. A record was playing in the background, ‘It’s all right now.’ Shaking their pom-poms,...
When I returned to the office, the two men were waiting for me. “Cal ... is Harry your legal guardian?” “I understand that’s how the Judge set things up, yes. Is there a problem, sir?” Anderson shook his head. “The law says you have to attend school for fifteen hours per week as the minimum. I’m really not sure what we actually CAN teach you, though. Not considering you just tested out of more than half of the college requirements for an associate degree, maybe even a bachelor’s.” “In...
I found out how much bigger, when I went into the locker room. There were two men I didn’t recognize, talking to Coach Thompson. He waved me over to them. “Cal, these men are from the Kansas High School Athletic Association. Seems that we’re being accused of cheating, and they want to talk to you about that.” “Um, depending upon the scope of the questions, I reserve the right to have my legal guardian present. Otherwise, I have no objections at this time.” One of the men looked relieved at...
The events in Pakistan had taken almost six hours, so I got at least a couple hours of sleep with my girls before getting up for school on Wednesday. Breakfast was quite normal, which almost surprised me. Margie did tell me that she thought I needed to stay home that night and mentally rest, even if I wasn’t physically tired. The suspense of wondering where I’d show up next would play with the minds of all the countries I’d mentioned. High School classes went fine, with everyone at lunch...
Thursday morning, I decided to go to Wichita. I got in my truck and headed there on my own. I had a destination in mind; Wichita State University. It took me just over an hour to get there. Once there, I noticed something I hadn’t taken into consideration; parking permits on this campus. I went to the Campus Police Department, to see where I could park. I walked in the door. There was an officer sitting behind a desk. “Help you?” “I hope so. I’m enrolled up at HCC, but I wanted to do some...
It only took us a few moments to get ready for bed, as all we did was take our clothes off and slip under the covers once in my room. Beth had been on a slow boil for most of the afternoon, her pussy literally dripping with desire. She grabbed my cock, started sucking on it so I was hard, then fell backwards, her legs open wide. “Fuck me, fuck me good, my lover!” I had no trouble at all sliding into her, she was so wet. It literally only took her a few seconds to have her first orgasm. I...
“You’ll have to get this through the school board, you know,” Terry said about fifteen minutes later. “I think they’re all still inside. Jerry, would you ... oh. Never mind. I didn’t realize that we’d have an audience.” When they realized we’d stopped messing around, two men and a woman walked over to us. “Other than simply saying hello inside, since we all came together, I don’t think we introduced ourselves to you, Mister Lewis. I’m Denny Fisher, President of the School Board. This is...
While I had no idea what Judge Bannister was talking about, apparently everyone else did. So, I followed them. We ended up at a restaurant not that far from the school. I could smell that they were cooking steaks even while still outside. The lot was relatively full at this time, but we all found places to park. I hurried to the door, so I could hold it for everyone, but Harry beat me to it. There was a line of people to the right, apparently to get their food. The Judge turned to the left....
Wednesday was pretty much a repeat of Monday for me, complete with Margie waiting by my truck after lunch. “I need you to skip school a couple of days next week. Is that going to be a problem?” “As long as it’s not Friday, because I can’t play if I miss school that day, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. What’s going on?” “I’ll set it for Tuesday and Wednesday, then. You and I will go to San Francisco first. After that, we’ll be going to Redmond, Washington. We need to get you fitted...
After Wendy’s exit, no one made any further reference to the family. Those members who’d been at the short departure meet with Wendy briefly mentioned the family safety to each other and that was the end of the discussion. Everyone in the Circle and that knew the Connors were warned to never mention their name again and ‘reminded’ that they’d never known anybody by that name. The Circle Board made a decision to hold the house in the Board’s name, a point already executed in ‘official’...
It was still easy to take off from home without being seen by the guards or the cameras. I wondered what I’d have to do when we were in California. Maybe dig a tunnel out somewhere. It’s not like they didn’t have earthquakes all the time, so my drilling wouldn’t be out of place. I was visualizing the map in my mind, since I hadn’t actually flown over the area and how long the tunnel would have to be when I realized I was almost to Italy. Time flies when you’re distracted. I’d have to watch...
Earl and I spent the rest of the round discussing a few things, with a promise to discuss things in full later tonight, in our room, with someone watching Toby. Jennifer showed that youth AND experience make a huge difference. Apparently the first 18 holes, she’d just been getting used to something she already knew how to do, which was play golf. She really cut loose on this one, putting out drives that matched mine in length. The minor detail that she was playing from the women’s tees meant...
We watched the first film about the formation of fossil fuels, then the seating area split into separate carts that took us on a ride through the building to see different exhibits, showing us animatronic dinosaurs up close and personal. After a few minutes, the carts came back together, showing us a second film about energy resources around the world. I snorted a couple of times at the misinformation that was in the film. So did the young lady in the other group. Then the whole seating area...
I could tell that the investigator from the FBI desperately wanted to be anywhere other than where he was, after he found out what he’d run into. Members of the Ku Klux Klan trying to kill native Australians had the potential to be very detrimental to his career. Having the Klansmen killed by three teenage girls on vacation didn’t help anything. Throw in a Federal Judge and Wackenhut Federal Protective Services, and he was really feeling some stress. By this time, we had drinks, were making...
I didn’t particularly enjoy throwing up into a trash can, which I was able to do after only drinking enough of the syrup of ipecac to make it look plausible, due to my control. The charcoal, followed by the trip to the hospital emergency room for the stomach pump, wasn’t pleasant, either. I didn’t think I actually needed any of them, but given the circumstances, I couldn’t refuse. The minor detail that Mendoza provided the antidote to us didn’t hurt. I wish I could have been there, when six...
The girls had been getting food ready while I was showing off. They called for a break, so we could eat while it was hot. The patent attorney showed up then, so we got him a plate as well. We moved the table around and got out the extra chairs, so we could all sit at the table and eat. “In case Elroy didn’t say who I am, which he has a tendency not to do, mostly because I’ve defended some cases in his court, I’m Frank Stilton. For some reason, he thinks I’m a pretty decent patent attorney. I...
Author's Forward: This one is a lot lighter on TG than I had originally planned, but it kicks in right at the end of chapter three. If TG not being the main focus is a dealbreaker, you may want to wait for the public release of the second half. I'll make it up in the next story, I promise.

We had breakfast the next morning, then we all got into the van. We drove down Palm Drive, then had to turn onto Campus Drive, to Galvez Street, to work our way over to Jane Stanford Way, before turning onto Lasuen Mall, and pulling up outside Wallenberg Hall, on the east side. It didn’t look like we were supposed to park there, but we did, anyway. One of our guards stayed with the van, while the other two accompanied us. A flight of stairs led up into a Spanish style building, then into a...
He still thought the same thing, two hours later. “This is just bloody amazing! I can’t believe you’ve managed to accomplish this much in so little time.” “Thank you, Jeffrey. I appreciate that. Funny thing is, things are just getting started for Kansas. We’ll be doing the same thing up near Manhattan, on Fort Riley, building two more turbine plants and a larger chemical plant for the Ice-X.” I saw Chuck glance at his watch. “Time to get Helen home, so she can go study?” He nodded, and I...
Warning: This is a long story with a slow build-up.1980 was a long time ago. A lot of history has happened since then, but there are parts of that year I remember like it was yesterday. I remember being a shy, seventeen-year-old kid, in my second-last year of high school, and I remember that I was not exactly Mister Popularity, either. I remember that feeling of not always fitting in, although I still had a few friends of my own, and I wasn’t a total misfit, and I remember being a virgin, even...
First TimeJames sat upright on his bed, with his legs crossed and hishands holding his head up. He just stared at the small, red notebook that lay in front of him, this mysterious gift that was granted to him. His own name was engraved on the front. It was almost like it was glowing, beckoning him to open it, to control reality even more. His mind was racing, full of thoughts of Amy, Kirsty and the words written inside the book: ‘Kirsty is going to change her mind and ask me to come over to work on the...
SupernaturalThe four of us went into the Clinic. Jennifer went up to the desk to check in, with me behind her, while Chuck took Toby over to some chairs, to wait. The receptionist looked up at us. “Can I help you?” “Yes. Jennifer Patrick, I have an appointment today with Doctor Beeson.” “Okay, is your information still the same from your last visit?” “Uh, no. Home address is now 6105 East Illinois Avenue, still Hutchinson, 67501.” She gave her our basic home phone number, not the unlisted one. “I’m...
Elroy shook his head. “I’m not going to give you advice one way or the other. You already figured out that Washington is a swamp. Anything I would say to you would be tarnished by my own, personal views.” “I appreciate that, Elroy. I think all three of the girls will take Wednesday off from school, as will I, so there’s nothing for anyone to note when the Messenger and his apprentice show up in Washington during the day. Beth has enough power that she can fly at night like I can.” From the...
Football practice was different from yesterday. We only spent fifteen minutes doing some stretches. The rest of the time was spent doing play drills, making sure that the team knew what my abilities were, as well as me making sure I knew what they could do. There was a little bit of messing around, but not much. I didn’t know why until Coach Thompson blew the whistle and had us gather around. “All right, ladies. That was ... okay, pretty darned good. Mister Davis, do you think that you could...
On shaky feet, Margie stood up and let me help her to the edge. Elroy was standing at the door, looking into the barn, to see if we were in one of the empty horse stalls. Margie quickly ran her fingers through her hair, picked up a little bit of loose straw and threw it into the air, so it would stick to her hair, then straightened and walked to the edge of the hayloft. “Hey, Uncle Elroy. Sorry, we’re up here. You know, I grew up here in town, but this is the first time I’ve ever been in a...
Author's Foreword: This one is a lot lighter on TG than I had originally planned but what it has kicks off right here at the start of chapter 3.

In fact, the first section of Other Duties is already available at patreon.com/razmagurk , for all those people who don't want to wait 6-8 weeks for it to come out here. If you want to...

Leaving the meeting with Mr. Reed, Beverly was mortified. First was the way she had acted: she had talked to James like she was some kind of slut. Reflecting on what she had said, she blushed furiously. Then when he abruptly stopped the discussion at the end and sent her off to do the research, Beverly felt rejected, that she wasn't appealing to James. This hurt her vanity even though she knew she was being foolish. She had become more attracted to him, really a schoolgirl crush, with each...
Jenkins looked at Toby, puzzled. “Son, you don’t have any trouble telling the difference between your sister and your mother?” He looked confused. “No. Why should I? I think Mom’s done a little something with her hair. It looks good, but she’s still Mom.” He walked over to her. “Am I in trouble for something? Is that why you didn’t come home last night, after SJ picked me up from playing with Bea and Patty?” Jennifer smiled through her tears. “No, Toby, you’re not in trouble. I was sick....
I bent down, picking it up by the cloth, to avoid the stones. Then I turned, and walked back over to our seats. Chuck and Mike were both up now, with my robe and some first aid supplies. “This isn’t my blood, it’s his.” “Then what’s that coming out of your ear, and dripping out of your mouth?” “Bit my tongue. Not much to do with that. Just rinse the ear and put a bandage on it.” “No, Sir. You’re going to the hospital, for x-rays. You may have cracked ribs and a possible punctured lung....
Sandy looked across the table at us. “Um, I suppose we ought to go out with you and have a celebration of some kind.” “We could do some kind of lunch, if you know some place, and don’t mind driving. We took a taxi from the airport to here, and we’ve an early flight in the morning out, so we’ll want to be back at our hotel fairly early.” Len looked at Sandy. “I think we can do that. Let me go bring our car around.” She nodded, and he headed out. Sandy stood up and erased the white board,...
“Sorry about that, I thought I heard you say something about trying to buy four square MILES of land, for less than a million dollars,” Adrienne said after she’d picked the phone up. “I did. Here’s something else that you can pass on to Bill. If he wants to put a value on the price of the program I gave him, tell him to consider it worth fifteen million. I had put into my budget forty million to spend to buy into Microsoft. That means I quite literally have fifteen million sitting around,...
by aliveinpr My stories do not necessarily reflect my personal proclivities, desires, wants or fantasies. Please read and enjoy this fictional writing. George and I have been married for 15 years. George has a well paying job making me a lonely housewife. Week after week, I wash, clean, cook and allow him to fuck me when HE feels the need. I learned a long time ago that my sexual needs had to stay on the back burner until George felt the need for sex. Sexually I was frustrated and even...
A Story in the Winds of Change Universe The tall, lanky man looked in disbelief at the King. “Sire, I’m simply a backwoods lawyer, and a new one at that. I’ve barely been more than a store owner and a local politician. I don’t understand why you’ve taken the railroad halfway across our country to come here and talk to me.” The King of America, Grant Maxwell, sat forward in his chair. “Call me Grant. You may be primarily self-educated, but you are not uneducated. You know the history of our...

I’d like to thank Daniellekitten for being my sounding board on this story. I never would have gotten it off the ground without her! ********************** I heard someone come in the room, but it didn’t register in my brain until she spoke. ‘Excuse me, Mr. Thompson?’ she said. Looking up from my desk, I saw the biggest, most beautiful pair of brown eyes in the world. It took me a second to recognise the face. ‘Angelina Benardo!’ I made sure to pronounce the g as an h in her first name....
I am 18 years old and now i’ am in school giving my 12th exam. In school, i was always fascinated by my history teacher. She was just wonderful, 28 years old and having the perfect figure of a teenage. Let me introduce myself. My name is craig and my history teacher’s name is vineeta ekka. She was teaching us history since std:8 and was very cooperative. Always cool-minded, never trying to scold us. She would always enter the class with a smile on her face. As i had taken up arts in 11 she was...
Olga’s note: Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight novels, wrote a short story retold from the viewpoint of a minor character, someone who walks into the scene of one of her novels and is almost immediately killed. In my stories, at least the ones so far, the first-person viewpoints of characters in my Aghara-Penthay shave all been women on special missions, or women captured to order, which means they’ve been missing out on the experience of a more regular slave – someone unlucky caught...

Beth answered it. “Hello? Hi, Dad. No, we didn’t burn the house down last night. Yes, Dora and Eve are here. We’re going into town in a bit to pick up another mattress. No, I don’t think you really want to know, do you? Didn’t think so. Aren’t you up early? Oh, I don’t know about that, I’ve never been on a jet. No, we didn’t have any issues with picking up Dora or Eve. Jethro and Spanky are both fine. No, no police out to the house yet. Dad! Okay, that’s not that funny. Who knows, that’s not...
__________________________________ Rikki yawned yet again. Her new History teacher Mr Galveston was droning on again about the American Revolution. It was only the second week of her Senior year in High School, and Mr Galveston had given them two exams, and she had an essay due the next day. People had warned Rikki the previous year of how difficult his class was, and to avoid getting into it at all costs, but it was out of her control now. She was trying hard to get into Stanford next year...

Before Marianne could say anything else, Allen waved his hand. “He startled the living shit out of me, is what he did!” Several people, including both Dads, had come out when Marianne screamed. They saw Allen on the ground and came running over. I’d already given him a hand up before they got to us. Allen was laughing. “Damn, Cal, that’s one hell of a statement. Hey, I’m fine, everyone. I was having a man to man talk with Cal here, and, um, he told me some business news that startled me so...
Jethro simply looked up when the truck pulled in, then went back to sleep. Margie went on into the house while I got our bags. When I walked in, Beth was just walking out of the bedroom, her eyes still a bit sleepy. “That’s neat, you flying the truck home, but come on, sis, you’ve got to control yourself. You woke me up with almost a gusher myself, and I’m still on my period.” Margie stopped what she was doing, which was trying to get undressed. “You were asleep, so you saw Cal pick the...
I was definitely nervous. Butterflies were flying around my stomach and my leg couldn't keep still as I sit in my car in the alleyway of my History teachers' house. We had sex in her classroom before she offered to take me back to her house and fuck me...for a long, long time. To make me scream and cum for her over and over again. Then she fingered and sucked me off to an amazing orgasm. I shiver at the memory. I had no idea why I was so nervous, but I decide to take a leap of faith. I...
I am eighteen and a college freshman and finals are coming up. I am not doing well in my history class, and I am super stressed. I heard through a rumor mill, that the professor will up a grade of any girl who sits on the front row of class without any panties on. I always wear my panties, but when a friend suggested I give it a try, well . . .The thought of showing off my most personal part of my body horrified me, but with a grade point average and a scholarship on the line, I had to consider...
College SexI parked, and we sat, I in the driver's seat, Maggie in the passenger's, and we held hands, and we stared at the moon. I leaned over the wheel so all I saw was that pale white crescent. That's all I wanted to see. Somewhere up there, there were people. Even I didn't know how far away they were. 250,000 miles is too big a number to comprehend. The radio had switched over from the usual broadcast announcer to the live NASA feed. We were hearing mission control talk to the...
