Beck’s turn:

First thing I did when we got home is call Mom.

“Hello, my lost daughter,” Mom said, using her best ‘poor me’ voice. “Did somebody go into the hospital? It is not yet Saturday.”

“Mom, your GRAD-daughter...”

““GRAND daughter,” Mom corrected. “My grand-daughter the millionaire...”

“Your grand-daughter the research scientist...”

“What has become of her now?”

“She’s holding a letter in her hands that says she’s graduated college with a degree in engineering.”

“My grand-daughter is not thirteen.”

“Sim’s driving us home right now. He’s barely sane. Your grand-daughter is in the back seat with a huge grin. And we just got out of a meeting with people from Auburn where they conferred her degree. She is working on her master’s thesis. She may be in master’s regalia in May.”

“Your father and I shall be there.”

A thought crossed my mind. I wonder if Cindy of the Skies would want to fly that shiny new plane into the New York airspace?

Okay, that’s the happy part of paradise. The snake in my Garden of Eden is in the unlikely form of a thirteen-year-old boy who is my thirteen-year-old daughter’s constant companion.

I and my wonderful husband dearly wanted a baby. That’s how we ended up with Rachel, named after her grandmother and every other generation of Hebrew women back to antiquity.

For seven years we were happy that we had a bright, personable daughter. Then we moved into the 3Sigma apartments. My dear bright Rachel met Terri Addison and became the Salieri to her Mozart - the real story, not the one in the movie. They collaborated with each other, boosting, urging, cooperating, catalyzing from sunrise to sunset, and a couple of nights each week they spent the night at our house or the Addisons’ and I think that’s when they plotted world domination.

My Rachel slipped to the #2 slot in the ‘smartest kid I know’ rankings. For the last five years I’ve been frequently astounded. A couple of million dollars in the bank will do that to the mother of a nine-year-old.

I was in paradise. Me. My beloved Sim. And my daughter Rachel who seems to grow daily in capabilities, like she’s feeding on psychic energy from her blonde friend.

Right up to the proud day I sat in temple and watched my Rachel deliver her bat Mitzvah speech.

I already knew she had a boyfriend, a late arrival to the community. The evil creature is named Derek Helton. He was smitten the first time he laid eyes on my Rachel. She’s equally smitten with him.

A week after Rachel’s bat mitzvah, Derek stood for his bar mitzvah. He’s had my Sim and one Major Aaron Kettler, USAF, for his spiritual guidance into Hebrew manhood.

I was sitting beside his sister, as proud for her as I was for him. Like Captain Smith on the bridge of the Titanic on April 14, 1912. My daughter’s first ‘puppy love’, okay.

At least she saved me the privilege of watching my husband have a heart attack. She caught me in one of those tender ‘mother-daughter’ moments that evening.

“Mom, I was very proud of Derek today. He looked very nice. Poised.”

“He comported himself almost as well as you, dear. His speech...”

“We worked together, Mom.”

“Really? I thought I detected that, but I wasn’t sure.”

“Mom, I know it stresses you, but Derek’s The One. Just like Dad is to you.”

“Rachel, you know the story of me and your dad. I was the same age...”

“Derek and I are the same age...”

“Dear, that age was twenty-one.”

“Mom,” she said, “I am now a woman, according to what happened last week. Derek is a man. Mom, why can’t we be married?”

That’s when my heart stopped.

The next day I parked at the office. I was early. I put the kettle on to boil in the kitchenette. I do tea. Most of the office does coffee, and it’s great coffee, but I get the jitters from too much caffeine and right now all the thoughts in my head do not need the enhancement of coffee-induced jitters. I’m trying to calm myself when Dan Richards – Dan 1.0, Dan the guy who MARRIED a girl a year older than my Rachel.

“Good morning, Dan.”

“Good morning, Beck. How’re things?”

“Dan Richards, much of my trouble is your fault.”

“Beck, I’ve improved. My paperwork is not causing any heartaches.”

“No, but your ‘We got married when she was fourteen’ example has.”

“I’m sensing that you’re stressed.” He looked around. “Let’s go to my office. No sense in having witnesses to my death.”

I followed him. This is a great place to work. I’d hate to leave it for the sake of my daughter’s virtue.

We got to his office, closed the door. Dan doesn’t do that ‘sit across the desk and look intimidating’ thing, not with me. I consider him the best of friends, but...

“Dan, I’m worried here, and nearly outraged. And certainly conflicted. Sim is a bit more philosophical than me, and I’m delighted with the things that Rachel has accomplished, and at such an early age. But Rachel looks at you and Cindy, and thinks it’s entirely normal to be married at fourteen! I’m nearly convinced that the whole lot of you have concocted some sort of cult here, abusing young girls!”

“Beck, I can understand your views, and before Cindy I would have agreed with you. And I certainly didn’t seek it, but having lived it, let me tell you what I have concluded.”

I stared at him. “Go ahead. Dazzle me.”

“I’ve about decided that a man has no say in male-female relationships, at least with really smart girls. It’s my observation that a girl or woman targets a man, overwhelms and captures him before he knows what’s happening. It happened to me, and to the rest of us, and each of us was nearly frightened to death. And now, look at poor Jerry -- he has no chance at all.”

“But Dan, why have you all congregated here? Can’t you see how this looks like a cult?”

“Beck, again, you have to look at the Sisters. This entire community was their idea -- it would never have occurred to us guys. When we ran across Alan and Tina at that concert, I thought ‘Great! Nice to see ‘im.’ And I would’ve just gone on to the next project, bringing my Cindy with me. Did that happen?”

“Obviously not.”

“Why didn’t it happen, Beck? If you haven’t heard the story, let me tell it to you. Cindy and Tina bounced on a hotel room bed, excited to meet each other, and THEY decided that THEY should stay together. Tina dragged Susan in. They BOTH dragged Nikki in. Next thing I knew, three engineers and a very adept technician were trying to launch a business from Auburn, Alabama because we had FOUR wives in college.”

He sighed. “That’s the truth, Beck. Not us guys. We’re guys. Engineers. Itinerant engineers. ‘Feral engineers’ is what the girls call us. We’d’ve just roamed the country doing just what we were doing, but we married girls who chose US and here we are. Didn’t make sense to us, not at the time, not with the vision WE had. It made perfect sense to Cindy and Tina and Susan and Nikki. And when it came to the Munchkins, it made sense to them because they were among their intellectual peers. But weren’t you all in favor of this bunch, as recently as a year ago?”

“Yes I was, Dan. But that was before Derek showed up. Rachel thinks it’s entirely normal for her to start an actual relationship with him!”

“Beck, I don’t think you have to worry about Derek doing anything to Rachel. The reverse may not be true -- I just don’t know. From what I’ve seen, I’d conclude that he’ll do anything she wants him to do. And somewhat related, I have to ask: Did Sim have any idea what you were doing when you captured him?”

And blushing, Beck said, “Of course not! And Rachel is entirely too much like I was, but much younger than I was. And THAT has me worried, more than anything else.”

“Beck, I had a long talk with Mizz Lee about Dana.”

“The ‘choose your battle’ talk. I’ve heard about it.”

“Look, if Derek appeared to be the normal thirteen year old boy, I’d be grabbing MY daughter and heading for the hills. As it is, though, that last bonus distribution, he put a hundred K into investments. Tell me, when Sim proposed to you...”

“A 1998 Toyota and a fresh diploma.”

“I like Sim. Great guy. But...”

“My point, Dan Richards. He was kinda handsy.”

“No doubt. You’re pretty and he’s a normal male.”

“Uh, I kinda wanted him to be handsy...”

“Not that he needed encouragement.”

“Direction, maybe,” I said, then dammit, I realized that I was being carefully guided. “Dammit, Dan, you’re...”

“Just talking about how relationships might progress. Derek will NOT do a darned thing that Rachel does NOT want...”

“Neither would Sim.”

“And that stopped the two of you...”

“What’s Cindy’s phrase? ‘Married before the Lord?’ We...”

“And then when you got the timing and everything else lined up – married in the eyes of the state and society...”

“But before that happened, you’d already chosen him and he was happy with that?”

“You make it sound like I drove that point.”

“Beck, one day I had this neat, cute friend who needed help with homework and a bit of relief from a really crappy life. I don’t know when I was targeted, but I was targeted. Ask the other guys. Sometimes it was obvious. Sometimes not. But always inevitable.”

“Dana’s story...” I said.

“Yeah. One of my favorites. ‘Do you have a girlfriend. No? Want one?’ And look at them now.”

“And I’m supposed to be Mizz Lee to Rachel...”

“We’re not a teenie-loving cult here, Beck...”

“I know that, Dan Richards. I’m soooo confused...”

I guess the first couple of times I was nervous, but now I’ve done it in front of Google’s R&D and Raytheon’s R&D and a team from DoD. None of those was as impactful on my young life as this.

Keith Spencer looked up at the clock on the wall and sighed. The crew-cut eighteen-year-old couldn't believe that only thirty minutes had passed of the eight hours he was required to put in at the Roosevelt Park Tri-County Help Center. For perhaps the hundredth time this month alone, he asked himself how he had gotten into this fix. A few years back, the local school board had passed a requirement that every student have a hundred hours of community service in order to graduate. While it did...

Comes a time when a story needs to be halted. I, as a hack writer, have enjoyed the three stories, Cindy, Nikki, and Christina, that led to the formation of the group that became our Community. During the course of the story, we dragged in the characters from Melodic Redemption. Now I'm pulling in Kimberly 2.0. This isn't the end of the community. This is just the end of the first part of Community. Trust me, the story will go on as Community Too. Look for it. And remember Community.

Nanny’s house was a small, two bedrooms, wooden framed one near a cotton mill. She and my great-grandfather had worked at the mill. Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, taking mortgage payments out of their paycheck each week. The South is dotted with the remnants of these kinder, gentler days. By the time...

CommunityChapter 64

Bill Carmody's turn: Interesting turn of events, I think. Two years ago I had Dan Richards on my power plant project. I knew him and Alan Addison from a previous power plant project where we were engineers, all three of us, on the same project. They're technically beyond reproach. Now I'm on THEIR payroll. 'Their' is, of course, 3Sigma Engineering. We're redoing several rural substations in Georgia. I ride herd on contractors, mainly, and make sure that they adhere to plans, and I...

Community Moving OnChapter 4

Bill Hardesty’s turn: I’ve just become Bill 3.0. Cindy officially conferred the status upon me. “Bill 1.0’s my adopted dad. Bill 2.0’s Haley’s husband in Louisiana. Since you’re part of this now, you shall be Bill 3.0.” Which is fine, except to Herself, the Vickster, I’m ‘Billy’. “Cindy said you were ‘Billy’ when she first met you.” “I was. I like to think that I’m mature enough to be ‘Bill’ now.” Sparkly eyes. “Not ‘William’?” “Bill.” Snicker. “Billy.” That snicker is one reason I’m...

Teresa’s turn: Mom’s totally destroyed. I’m standing on a pedestal, a seamstress, a REAL seamstress, is taking measurements for my wedding dress. “Mom, stop crying, for heaven’s sake...” “Every time I think about you getting married,” Mom sobbed. “It’s the expected progression in life. Grow up, leave home, get married...” “Finish college is in there somewhere,” Vicki said. She’s my co-conspirator. We’re getting married the same day. She’s tagged my little brother, a big surprise, since...

Susan's turn: I'm waiting for the aliens to show up. Here's how I figure it will break down. Nikki and Cindy will work with Terri and Rachel on the Star Wars squirrel denial system. They'll actually GET that 95 gigahertz transmitter, and in the process of modulating its output so that it only severely annoys squirrels instead of cooking them on the spot out there in the yard, they'll transmit a signal into space where it will be picked up by an alien spacecraft. The aliens will come...

Bill Carmody’s turn: Yesterday’s wedding was a delight, especially watching my NEW daughter (!) and Cindy, my original daughter, looking and acting very much like twins. Can’t help but grin, just thinking about it. Both of ‘em have a little fire in their eyes, and when they’re together, you can nearly SEE the sparks flying between them. Couldn’t have asked for a more unlikely development, right up to matching green dresses they bought together for the wedding. And my phone buzzes --...

Tina's turn: "What's so funny?" my husband asked. "Stoney and Jo are coming back and they're still flyin' that Pitts." "Did they buy it?" "She says 'no', but two trips, you gotta wonder." I giggled. I know the real reason. A combination of scheduling conflicts and weather had kept us from holding the weekend airport social and landing contest. The social, however, now had a few outside participants. I mean, it was bound to happen. We don't exist in a vacuum. On any given...

Cindy’s turn: 0700 for a wake-up. The alarm caught me when it went off. Sometimes I’m drifting between sleep and awake, but not this morning. I finally got to sleep, found out that Dana’s a kicker, so I kicked back. When the alarm went off, I let it roll for a bit, listening to the whines and other sounds of the gang waking up. I killed it, turned to get out of bed, but was a bit slow. I saw a T-shirted Rachel flash by muttering “bathroom...” Well, at least with two rooms we can split the...

Tina's turn: I keep telling myself that Bot-bot is not a real pet. I only wish I knew what was going on in my little girl's mind. Parse that statement, won't you? I have a stepdaughter who's ten years younger than me, who is probably past me in some ways, academically speaking. I know she does things with technology that all of us in the community wonder about. What went on in her head that caused her to take a mobile squirrel repeller platform and convert it into a pet? Yeah, I know,...

Tim's turn: I'd be a janitor for 3Sigma after seeing how Vicki and Kim fit in here. I'm THAT happy. That whole 'divorced dad' thing is horrible. I mean, you talk with your daughter on the phone once or twice a week, trying to stay up with what's going on in her life, and then you get a week or so for Thanksgiving or Christmas and you get a few weeks in the summer. A week was BAD. I don't know little girls. Until this past year, I didn't have my own place, so we cribbed up at Mom and...

Donna's turn: Do you know how to bring on pure pandemonium in my daughter's little community? Let me tell you. Saturday nights are the big night for music. Everybody's usually there. Well, sometimes we add Stoney and Johanna, sometimes Jason and Susan are off visiting one set of impending grandparents or the other. This particular weekend, though, we're all together. Me and Bill, we have our own swing there. So we laugh and sing and dance and then there's a break and my Bill stands...

Terri's turn: I really DO love my mom. I'm speaking of my natural mom, the person who carried me for nine months, then gave birth to me. I did not and still do not understand why she left Dad for Mister Martin. I know both men and there's no comparison. Tina tells me that there are things that go on in people's hearts and heads that are not easily defined. Defined. If you define 'step-mom', it means the woman who marries your dad. That's Tina. Dictionary definitions are so...

Nikki's Turn: Mommyhood hangs over us all. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way disparaging FOUR new mommies. Let's run down the list. Susan 'n' Jason have little JW – Jason Wallace, named after him and his dad. Alan and Tina have Katherine Genevieve – after nobody in particular, but Terri is forbidden to call her Kathygen. Johanna and Stoney have Randall Stonewall, and Mister Bill and Mizz Donna have Cindy's half-sister Elise Ann, a whole two days old. I'm likely to be the next. My...

Still Nikki’s turn: I squeezed Dan’s fingers. “A bit of bad luck, this,” I said. “Baby, be so kind as to hand me my iPhone. I need to get the news out.” Dana’s turn: We’re a pretty connected group here. I mean, everybody’s always texting and posting updates during the day, so when I got one from Nikki, I knew where she was supposed to be – on campus with the munchkins. I thought I’d see another ‘you won’t believe what Terri (or Rachel or Vicki) just did’ post. It wasn’t. I’m at the...

Derek’s turn: This is trouble. Wonderful, happy, delightful, ecstatically wonderful. But trouble. I knew what was going to happen when Rachel called me to help her feed Dana’s cat. Empty apartment except for me and Rachel and the cat, and the cat gets petted while I’m sitting next to Rachel and the cat leaves and Rachel turns to me. I like kissing her. I like holding her. We talk about everything. Tara says we’re too young to have a past, but I’ve lived through a car wreck and the loss of...

Cindy’s turn: It was just another morning in the office when the phone rang and as Maddie was occupied, I answered it. “3Sigma, this is Cindy. May I help you?” “Cindy? Good, it’s you I wanted to talk to.” “Hello Mizz Patel. What’s going on today?” “Would you mind if I drive out to your office? I’d like to talk about something in private.” I noted that she didn’t have her normal happy lilt. “Of course it’s okay. You’re always welcome here.” This was unusual for her though, so I added,...

Tara’s turn: We did it. Derek and I talked. He agreed, but honestly, I’m the adult in this equation, actually his legal guardian, and he would have had to go along with my plan. However, a certain pre-teen Jewish princess seems to have gained my little brother’s eye. I think that if we HADN’T decided to move, he might’ve hitched a ride back here. The apartment. Cindy and her Dan used to live here. It belongs to the corporation. They told me I could paint it any color I wanted, but honestly,...

Dana’s turn: I’m lying in bed in that wonderful cusp between awake and asleep at the end of a very good day. Cindy’s done her presentation at NASA, and to my knowledge, they haven’t yet recruited her for a space mission. Nikki’s been, well, Nikki, and she’s a superstar in her own right, maybe a little more sane than Cindy, but those two are a binary system, both bright in a way I never witnessed until I found her sitting across the table from me and Ed one night at dinner. And...

Nikki’s turn: I managed the stress of Mom’s interaction in my life quite well, I thought, right until Mizz Donna met me at the plane and hugged me. Then the floodgates opened. “What was I supposed to do, Mizz Donna?” I sobbed. Poor Dan. He’s standing behind me, wanting to do SOMETHING. “Darlin’,” she said comfortingly, “You did the right thing. World’s full of assholes. I used to be one, so I know...” I heaved a wordless sob. Mizz Donna was hugging me, Dan’s hand was touching my...

Kara’s turn: The world NEEDS a pregnant fiddle player. That’s what I told Dear Old Dad when I broke the news to him. “Dad,” I said, “I have a wonderful, successful husband and it is only right that we present you with grandchildren.” I heard a definite sigh over the phone. My dad. I’m trying really hard to conjure (one of Johanna’s words) a vision of business-suited Dad bouncing a grandbaby on his knee. “You make me regret that I didn’t make myself a bigger part of your life, Kara...

Nikki’s turn: We’re still talking about new toys, right? Cindy was PIC for the flight back from Colorado with the new plane. Fair enough. After all, Cindy IS ‘Cindy of the Skies‘. When we landed, though, we had the entire community standing there waiting on the arrival. It’s a big deal. Cindy exited first. Me? I stood in the door, my butt still inside indescribable luxury and newness, and said, “Okay, who wants a ride?” We have seating for eight – one of their ‘executive’ options – plus...

Okay, SEVERAL million ways, financially speaking. 3Sigma’s original business, engineering, is now engineering and construction, and we regularly berate ourselves because we’re bursting the seams on our SECOND building since the company started. Millions going into various accounts, and some of the happiest...

Community Involvement Ch 12

The two weeks that comprised the end of term one holidays in New South Wales, which also included Easter this year, had come and gone so fast. It only seemed like yesterday that I had left the mercurial Clare on what had effectively been the last school day of the term for Clare and I; the government schools still had the Friday to negotiate. My wife worked through the break, as was usual (she referred to bank her leave and use it during our summer holiday period). However, my daughter and I...
