I know I am stressed because, in the morning, Moira puts her hand on my door, and I wake up, ready to fight. Before I am awake, I am standing beside my bed at the ready. That hasn’t happened since before the girls started waking me. She opens the door and screams, startled by me being up and ready for a fight. As soon as I see her, I relax, and she puts her hand over her mouth, looking sheepish.
“I hope I didn’t wake anybody.”
“You might not have. We didn’t get in until after 4 this morning.”
“Why so late?”
“Let’s just say, two-thirds of the Kawasaki delegation will be guests of William Head for the next 10 to 20 years.” William Head is the local prison.
She has learnt to accept when I don’t want to talk about something.
“I guess neither of us are in the mood anymore,” says Moira. Why don’t you get back to bed, and we will just snuggle while you get a little more sleep? I’ll wake you when it is time to shower.”
I get into bed, and she follows suit. I big spoon her and whisper into her ear, “I love you.” Before she can respond, I am back asleep.
At breakfast, I am surprised to see Alva and Elsa. They respect the rule of no talking shop during meals, but as soon as I swallow my last bite, they let their excitement out.
Elsa starts, “You should see what we designed. Like you asked, we have a version to make children much safer. It’s collapsable and can hold a hundred pounds.”
“I told Alva not to get too excited over your design. There are a few things that can easily be unforeseen when it comes to trailers.”
“What do you mean,” asks Elsa
“What have you done to combat trailer instability? What are you using as a hitch, and where is it located?”
Alva asks, “What is trailer instability?”
“When you load a trailer wrong, it causes a force to oscillate left and right. It causes cars to go all over the road, especially after turning a corner. That is when the effect is amplified. The closer to the axle the load is, the less oscillation there is. This means the child seat should be over the axle.
“A bike weighs a lot less than a car. The slightest oscillation will throw the bike around. If the hitch is behind the wheel, that is two-plus feet away from the axle or fulcrum. If the oscillation is only 20 lb., then that is 40 ft-lb. What do you think would happen to a bike if you suddenly put 40 lb. of force pushing sideways on the rear axle?”
“Crash,” exclaims Alva
“You need the hitch at the axle. That puts it at the fulcrum, meaning torque is negligible, and the bike is only affected by the sideways force at the axle and not torque.”
Elsa questions, “How do you have a hitch at the axle? The wheel is in the way.”
“Give me 20 minutes when I get to the shop. I will build something and show you. You also need to talk to your dad about the effects of metal rubbing together, and how to prevent it. There are bushings you need that I’m sure aren’t on your drawing.”
“How can you tear our drawing apart like that without even seeing it,” complains Alva
Elsa says, “He does that all the time. It’s infuriating.”
“It usually means the thing you design is something I have spent a lot of time thinking about. The areas I assume you made mistakes are where I first got it wrong.”
I can’t tell them the truth. I made the same mistakes the first time I designed a trailer, which was for towing a kayak behind a bike. The only thing is that happened in my other life.
There are a few more things I could point out, but decide to be nice and look at the drawing first. Ten minutes after arriving at work, I have a hitch and a connecting arm. I show it to the girls and explain how it makes folding the trailer up easier. It is also easier to mount a front wheel and turn the trailer into a push stroller.
When I am finished with them, Dick calls me up, excited, saying, “Great news, I was able to pick up a used double wide office for cheap, and it will be here tomorrow.”
“Great, any luck with the sea cans?”
“We can get as many as we want, and they are much cheaper than I thought. Using sea cans was a great idea and simple. I’m embarrassed I didn’t come up with it myself.”
The conversation degrades into socializing from there. I eventually bring it around to specifics, making sure we can use the trailer by Monday.
When the call ends, I phone Fred, asking him, “How would you like to move into your new office on Monday?”
“I’d love an office. The wife keeps hounding me because I have papers everywhere. Our home office isn’t big enough for the jobs you gave me.”
“You will have electricity, but you will have to make do with a portable outhouse and water coolers for a few days.”
“It’s still better than what we are doing now, and I will have the room to hire a proper staff. You are getting us to do the work of an entire engineering firm.”
“Does that mean you want the whole double-wide. I was going to stick our executives in there too.”
“If you let me have it, I could use the entire thing.”
“It’s yours.”
“On another topic. Despite Elsa doing a good job, I might have burst her bubble on the bike trailer thing. She was all excited, and I was a jerk. I’m sure the girls did good work. I pointed out a few things they wouldn’t have known about. Would you take a quick look at it for her before she brings it back to me?”
“Sure thing, boss. If I’m cheering Elsa up after you lambaste her like that, whose job is it to cheer me up when you do it to me?”
“Isn’t that what a wife is for?”
“It’s one thing to have your plans torn apart by a senior engineer. When some twerp kid does it without even looking at the plans, it hits the ego harder than the wife can fix.”
“Those mistakes are as much my fault as yours. I should be telling you of the potential problems before I get you to draw up your plans. When I pick apart your work like that, I’m usually kicking myself in the ass for not giving you adequate instruction. I need to get used to having a team behind me.”
In my first life, any engineering work I did was always alone, even when I was in the military. If I were assigned a team to work on a problem, they would all fuck off and leave me to it. The exception was when some jackass was trying to prove they were smarter than me. They would work counter to everything I did, and in the end, they always proved me right. Sure I worked with mechanic teams, and I wished I was working alone most of those times. It is utterly foreign to me, working with a supportive team.
Just after 3 pm, Moira pages me in my office. I press the button on the phone and ask, “What is it?”
“Watanabe is on line one for you.”
“Thanks, dear.”
I hit the line one button on the phone then pick up the receiver, saying, “Good morning Mr. Watanabe-san. What can I do for you?”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Brown. Takashi-san say we owe you thank you and sorry.”
“Your company put me in a bad position. You are lucky that I am partners with the local media. If word of this got out, Kawasaki would suffer.”
“We so sorry. We not know Sato, Ito do that. What we do make it up you?”
“We had agreed to a deal where I get 7.5% of Kawasaki, and you build me a robotic shipyard using robots built with my technology. In exchange, I give you the schematics for my robot, after NeXT and Motorola, you would be the next eligible to buy licensing from my patents, and I consult a robotics team you set up here.”
“We agree. Have deal.”
“I don’t agree anymore. I have added trouble, keeping your rapes out of the news. I think 10% and 2% of all future robot sales is more appropriate.”
“You rob us. No deal. Bad deal.”
“You have no choice. Any of my security talks or maybe somebody else does, and Kawasaki will have a scandal that will cause your stock to plummet. I take my technology to ABB and sell it to Korean shipyards. You will lose the NeXT deal. Your shipbuilding will suffer, and so will your robotics. I then go to Honda and sell them the technology they need to build military planes. You will lose your Self Defence contracts. That is over half your company in trouble.”
“I thought you kid. How you so violent?”
“I am a kid, but you refused to believe me when I said your boy tried to break the law and wanted to have sex with my girlfriend. You made me mad and underestimated me. That is very costly.”
“We no more underestimate you. We have deal.”
“I knew you were a wise man. Prove to be a loyal friend, and I will fight like this for you.”
“I hope we friends now.”
“I have one more condition for our deal.”
“You rob us blind. What more?”
“Takashi-san needs to stay in Canada until Ito’s trial is over. I want her to stay longer. I want her to be our liaison.”
“What laisn?”
“My contact with the research team. Takashi-san works between the research team and me.”
“Deal. No more.”
“Yes, more. We are friends now. I can tell you about other things.”
“What now?”
“I have a satellite you will want to buy plans for, there are upgrades to make the T-4 (a military training fighter-jet) safer and a better trainer, and I have frictionless bearings for your conventional trains. Takashi-san and Dahlia can work out the details.”
“Hope she more friendly negotiate than you.”
I laugh, then say, “I taught her.”
“You scary.”
That ends the conversation, but now I need to make some more calls. The first is to Admiral Cub. His secretary says he isn’t in but will relay the message for him to phone me ASAP. Next, I call Miyu. As I expect, she is sitting in her Hotel room, not doing anything. She answers with a tentative, “Hello?” She has no clue who would phone her and is a bit leery with everything that is going on.
“Miyu, I’m glad I caught you.”
“I’m glad you phoned. I am bored out of my mind, sitting here.”
“I have some good news for you.”
“I don’t have to work for Watanabe.”
“Close, you don’t have to go back to Japan any time soon. If you want it, you are getting a promotion and will be the new liaison between my companies and Kawasaki. Kawasaki will pay your wages, but you will work as much for me as you do them.”
“Really? Why? How? I’m only a translator. We don’t get promotions unless we find somebody like Ito to sleep with.”
“In a way, sleeping with him got you the promotion. We have some things we need to work out. You need friends and a place to live. You can’t sit in a hotel room all alone. I know they are a bit young to be your friends, but I need to give Moira and Kim a day off. How about they pick you up tomorrow morning, and I treat you all to a day at the spa?”
“Why do you keep doing things for me?”
“Most people know that I want to make the world a better place. What is the sense of helping the world if you don’t help the people in it?”
“If you ever find a way to lose your girlfriends, I’m going to be waiting for you.”
“You are extremely attractive and smart. Any guy would be a fool not to want you. I’m sorry, but I have four girls that are just as good ... You better phone your office before it gets too late. I need to know when they will be sending over our new contract so I can give you the robotic schematics. I’m anxious to get our shipyard built.”
An hour later, Cub phones
“It is good to hear from you, Admiral.”
“Talking with you is always interesting, Trent.”
“I hope that is a good thing.”
“Sometimes, what can I do for you?”
“Something interesting. What does it take for a gag order to be put on a court case for national security reasons?”
“You do have interesting favours to ask. What are the specifics?”
“Two of the Kawasaki employees, who came to negotiate with me, committed rape. It isn’t how Kawasaki does things, and if it got out that they were here on official business, Kawasaki would be hit with a scandal that I promised to help eliminate.”
“What spin are you putting on it to make it a matter of national security?”
“Our Hercules fleet is ageing and needs to be replaced. The airforce is planing on buying newer ones. What if I go in with Kawasaki to make a bid and give you something better? You know I always deliver and can give you something Lockheed can’t. Do you know why they call it skunkworks? Because compared to me, they stink.”
“Funny. I saw your latest bid for the MCDV program. It turns out you were right. They are going to be changing the requirements and want more than just a sweeper. My question is, what are all the empty spaces for? They can’t all be storage. They are all spread out, and there is no obvious reason for them.”
“By now, you know I tend to think ahead.
“Look at what NASA said in the 70s about our orbit and how it will change our environment so that it is warmer and the poles will start to melt. They have it right. The Northwest Passage will eventually open up. Part of the MCDV acronym is Coastal Defence Vessel. How can we defend our coast with slow conventional ships? Those empty spaces you mentioned are for the equipment needed to turn the MCDV ships into Hydrofoils capable of 65 knots.”
“There has never been a hydrofoil that big before, and the record was the Bras d’Or. That was only 63 knots.”
“Have I ever failed to achieve my goals?”
“You are setting a pretty high one. I shouldn’t say anything, but questions are being asked about how reliable your proposed ships will be since it will be filled with untried technology.”
“What about the old DDE’s bear trap, the Iroquois’ all gas turbine configuration, or the frigate’s IMCS and cross con gearbox? Does the navy not want to keep with the tradition of building what nobody else has? I am going to do you one better. I’m going to build one before the bid is awarded, and the navy can see for itself how my ship is superior to anything else out there.”
“All well and good, but you know it doesn’t matter how good your boat is, if you don’t create jobs back east, they will throw it out.”
I anticipate that at least the next month will be hectic. We have already done everything we could to streamline the process of handing over control of the new companies to our CEOs, but there is still a lot to do. Friday, January 19th, Marc, Jean-Paul and François-Henri are all due to arrive for the weekend. It means that I will miss the opening night for Tremors. Marc is the first to arrive. At 8:30 pm I am at the airport with Paul and four bodyguards. We watch Marc’s plane land. Since he...
First thing, Thursday morning, Doc signs me out of the hospital. I understand why they do it, but I think it was funny that Dr. Nowak pushes me in a wheelchair and has me transported to UVic in an ambulance. I arranged for the lab to be closed for the morning, so it is just Doc, a nurse that signed an NDA and me. To start with, Doc explains how the test will progress. Typically a stress test takes 15 minutes, and all that is needed is for the patient to work strenuously for 8 to 12 minutes...
For the first time in almost a year, I wake up, and it isn’t a girl trying to pleasure me. I am woken by girls moving in my bed, but it isn’t to pleasure me. Carol and Dahlia are locked in a 69 position, having fun. I get off the bed and stand at its foot. Since Dahlia is on the bottom, I pull her by the feet, dragging Carol with her until Dahlia’s ass rests on the edge of the bed. Without warning, I push Carol’s head aside and penetrate Dahlia. I need to get rid of my morning wood and...
When my girlfriends arrive at work, I call them all into a meeting with Paul, in the conference room. Paul sits beside me as the girls sit across from us. Carol is the last one to enter the room. As she does, she says, “This looks dreary. Are we in trouble?” I reply, “No, I am. Close the door, please. This is a bit secretive.” Carol closes the door and joins her sisters across from me. “I know I said I wouldn’t put any of you at risk when dealing with the rapists, but I need your help. I...
The CPO opens the door and lets my delegation in. I was expecting there to be four of them, but there are six. Japanese businessmen often bring on translators even if they aren’t needed. In some ways, it is a bit deceitful, making people think you don’t understand what they are saying. It is also a good practice. It is easy for there to be misunderstandings if at least one person isn’t speaking their native tongue. I have no clue who the second person is that Jean-Paul brought with...
Thursday, March 1, The US Secret Service plays into our hands for the PR campaign. They raid Steve Jackson Games, a company that produces role-playing, card and board games. The Secret Service claims that one person involved in the company is engaged in hacking and that one of the games, GURPS Cyberpunk, teaches people how to hack computers. To start with, teaching people how to hack isn’t illegal. Even if it were, Cyberpunk is a complete work of fiction and has no basis in reality. In the...
The next morning, I get Jane to take me to Radio Shack to get a few supplies, then I am back in my hotel room putting the equipment together. For lunch, we have room service. As we are finishing up our meal, the phone rings. I answer it, “Hello?” “Trent, It’s Jason.” “What’s your answer?” “We’re in. So, what is the plan for the guns?” “Not over the phone.” Meet me at Humpty’s for supper.” “6” “Works for me.” “See you then.” “Bye.” I hang up and tell Gun, “It looks like we have our...
Going to bed at night, I am excited. It is the first time I remember being excited about my birthday in 64 years. My mother used to force me to invite the kids that used to gang beat me to my birthday every year. In Canada, your most important birthdays, depending on where you are, tend to be 16, 18 and 19. My family forgot all of those. For my 18th my sister held a birthday party for me and never invited me. My parents were out of town and didn’t phone. A few days after they got home I had...
Monday is supposed to be a half-day of school, but it doesn’t last that long. We go in for our report cards, finished cleaning out our lockers and sign yearbooks. I am surprised by how many people ask me to sign their books. I don’t know half of them. Since it is the last day of school we, close the shop down for two days. Everybody deserves a break, and we have a lot of new people starting, so I figure having everybody begin on Wednesday, after my staff has had a break, will be best. Dick,...
Once we are in the garage, Paul picks up the boy and carries him into the house. Kurt takes command of the rest of the team, and they spread out to provide security and ensure we aren’t disturbed. Trying to secure the boy to the chair is a bit more complicated than anticipated. He is not cooperating at all and is squirming about, trying to get free. I punch him hard in the solar plexus. As he struggles to breathe, we tie his legs and arms to the chair. He isn’t able to move. The chair is...
The following Monday, after I have my morning shower at school, I head to the office. As soon as I step through the door, Ms. Smith, the same secretary that screwed the Principal the day of our first meeting, asks, “What can we do for you, Mr. Brown.” “I’m just here to inform you that I will be missing school tomorrow morning. I have meetings with Kawasaki and NeXT.” That is a lie, but I am not about to tell her that I plan on staying up all night breaking into the Jock’s hideout. “Please...
When the meal ends, the club members leave, except for Neil and Dwain. As the staff clears off the table, Neil explains, “It is my job to oversee the tests. Trent, since you decided not to share the official results from when family services tested you, we will have to ask you to take the test too. It is only a formality.” “I wasn’t planning on taking the test, but there is no harm in it.” “Have any of you, besides Trent, ever taken an IQ test before?” The girls all state they haven’t,...
I am a bit anxious for lunch to start, so I am not as attentive in class as I should be. Lunch will be my first chance to confront the cheerleaders and find out why they have been skipping out on the modelling work I offered them. The lunch bell rings. Kim, Moira and I walk each other to our lockers and then to the cafeteria. I don’t want a confrontation. I want a conversation, so I take Moira and Kim to the table where Carol and Dahlia sit with some of our other friends/employees. At most...
Things calm down and return to normal for the next few weeks. Before I realize it, Christmas break is upon us. That Saturday, I am spending a rare day relaxing at home when there is a knock at the door. Zlata and Dahlia are gone Christmas shopping, and Sam is up the hill, working on restoring his car with Gramps. I answer the door. To my surprise, it is Paul. “May I come in?” “Yes, of course.” “I told you that my guy would come through. He found Grace, but he can’t get her out.” “Why not?...
Exiting the conference room, I notice that my staff is arriving back from lunch. Thankfully, Dahlia is here. I walk up to her and say, “I need to get out of here, and I didn’t get anything to eat. How about some A&W onion rings?” Her smile brightens, and she gives a little squeak, followed by an, “Always.” I doubt that A&W onion rings will ever fail to put a smile on her face. She places the stack of papers she has in hand back on her desk, then arm in arm we head for the SUV. We...
It was already dusk when I got into my car. The radio was still on. Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping" was playing. "How appropriate" I thought to myself. The Radio gods must be telling me something. I pulled out of the driving singing, "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down..." As I drove, I rehearsed what I'm going to say to Chase. I'm going to tell him the truth. Well - a variation of the truth. I won't mention time travel or future events. I certainly...
It’s less than an hour before all my girlfriends show up, each carrying an armload of supplies to keep me entertained. The girls barely get their greetings over with, and Moira is almost in tears, asking, “How is your leg? I screwed up. I’m sorry. I don’t know where I went wrong. Please forgive me.” “Come here. You did nothing wrong. We got everything we needed. I have had many wounds worse than this. In a few weeks, I will be as good as new.” As I am talking, Moira comes in for a hug, and...
The next day, My girlfriends let me sleep in, but I don’t get any extra sleep anyway. At 6 in the morning, Paul knocks on my door. I sit up and look at the time before asking, “What is it?” Paul pushes the door open and says, “You are the one that wanted to meet my contact. It is either now or never. he isn’t in town for long and will not reschedule.” “Give me a minute. I’ll meet you in the car.” As soon as he leaves, I open my bedroom safe and pull out some cash, then I get dressed and...
I leave before anybody gets up in the morning. Paul has assigned Gun to be my escort again. To my surprise, Paul talked Gramps into signing over my guardianship to Gun for the trip. We get to the airport, and for the first time in both lifetimes, I see somebody use the captain’s box for what it is supposed to be there for. The captain’s box is a lockbox brought on board the aircraft, which contains things that are not allowed in the passenger cabin, such as firearms. My father used it to...
As we are packing our stuff up and sticking it into backpacks, I am reminded of a rig I built back when I was in my 40s. I got this idea in my head that I wanted to be the oldest person and the first disabled person to circumnavigate the world under his own power. I built a proof of concept rig to see if I had the know-how and capability to cycle/kayak around the world. The rig was a recumbent trike, trailer and kayak combination where the trailer had a large hopper on the back that carried...
Thursday morning, it is supposed to be Dahlia’s tern to wake me up, but she is under punishment. Instead it is Carol’s mouth I find wrapped around my cock when I wake up. Carol was my reluctant girl. I had to be careful not to push her too far. That isn’t the case anymore. Ever since the jocks tried to kill me and I fought my injuries to stay conscious and make sure she was taken care of, she has become a new woman and gave herself to me mind, body and soul. As soon as she sees my eyes open,...
Friday, before my CEOs arrive for their second weekend of meetings, my girlfriends and I are on a group date. Lately, I have been cancelling most of our dates so I can get our companies in the hands of those that can take care of them for us. Carol likes a more physical date where we go and do something like kayaking and hiking. Dahlia and Moira like more of the princess fantasy type date, so I combine them. We head for the Japanese garden at Royal Roads Military College, our military’s only...
On the way, I am sitting in the back with Deb, and the two remaining guards are up front. I pull a small bag from behind the seat and tell Deb, “Why don’t you take a little drink. You look like you could use some liquid courage.” I don’t tell her that the beer is spiked with a drug cocktail that will make her more compr has the side effect of making your memories pliable. Before we drop her off, we will convince her that she talked Moira into drinking with her, and she will not remember our...
Later that evening, Karen was sitting in her home feeling better than she had in a long time. She would never have believed when she moved to this small town that she would ever be as sexually satisfied as she was right now. She smiled to herself as she thought of the men in the town. For the most part, they had little or nothing to do with her. She assumed that it was because she was still an outsider... something she would probable always be. She knew that most of the people in Lincoln had...
I would like to say that life gets easier, and I get to spend a lot more time with my girlfriends. The truth is something entirely different. After I restructure my companies, I release my girls from most of their responsibilities. Having less help, and nobody hired to run my three consolidated companies, the lion’s share of the work falls on me. It is now Tuesday, Jan. 9th, after school. I’m in my office, and I have one phone call to make before conducting my first job interview for one of...
During my eleventh grade year I worked my butt off to get good grades. This was the year that colleges would be looking at when considering my application and I wanted to do as good as possible. I left nothing to chance, and made sure every assignment I did was an A. And for the most part everything went well, I would work hard and receive the grades I wanted. And it wasn't easy. Ms McKlain, my teacher for English class, was a very strict, no-nonsense woman who made sure you worked hard for...
Sunday is the day most of our employees take the day off, myself included. Moira and Dahlia are at church while Kim and Carol are hanging out with me, relaxing in our living room. In many ways, I am proud of my girlfriends. I thought that dating one girl this young would be a nightmare, with the immaturity and catfighting. I learnt in my first life that kids want to be treated as adults, and when you do so, they act a lot more mature than they would otherwise. They don’t want to lose the...
The next day at work, I call Paul into my office. “It seems as though you have unofficially taken command of our special ops team.” “I’m not so sure I would call it a special ops team, but yes, I think the others have treated me as such. The rest of the guys have experience, but I am the only one to have lead a spec ops team. I have a bit more experience in planning a mission and have a few more contacts.” “I hate to poach, and I don’t want to piss off Allied Security, but I would like to...
When we moved out of the old shop, we removed the entire security system. Whoever is bankrolling these assholes had it re-installed. Staking the place out, we discover a flaw and decide our plan to abduct another boy isn’t needed. The thing is the people who re-installed the alarm system didn’t think about where they put the keypad to enter the alarm code. If the main door is open, you can see the keypad. It is a rarity that the boys show enough intelligence to close the door before they...
Wednesday and Thursday, I continue to let my girlfriends wake me up then I go back to bed as they go to school. When I get up, I go to work, and at night I accompany our spec ops team to recover the blackmail materials. Wednesday night/Thursday morning, at the Jock’s clubhouse, we decide to focus on the blackmailers and forget the girls. We want to spend as little time as possible in their hideout. The victims have done nothing wrong, and there is no need to collect evidence against...
I skipped the weekly training session with my cycle team. Instead, Paul and I head to our makeshift lab. We would have done it sooner, but we wanted to make sure my leg was fully healed. On the way over, Paul comments, “You look a little worried. Are you? Is this something we should be doing?” “Anxious, not worried. I want to see what I can do. I am a growing boy. My body is changing. Truth be told, with all the fighting I have been doing, I should have slipped up before now. Even my leg...
Typically, Sunday morning is the one day I get to sleep in as there is no ride with the cycling team. I anticipate not being able to sleep in since I promised to spend the entire day with Carol. You would think, if a girl is going to wake you up with sex, she would do it slow and sensual, not Carol. I wake up, and she is bouncing on me like there is no tomorrow. I expect half the house is awake with the screams of passion. At least she has learnt that when she is finished and collapses on...
The next day at lunch, all anybody can talk about is the upcoming Halloween dance and the gathering we had last night. I am ribbed a few times for not wearing the costume Moira bought me. It is good to see the school back to its old self, with people happily eating their lunch and few people moping about. After school, Gun informs me that Jen is out of the hospital but will not be returning to school for a while. I am saddened to hear that she will not be back with us but am happy that she...
We get to the Royal BC Museum, and I am surprised at how inexpensive it is. I remember my mother always saying how she always came here as a child, and it was free. It is a shame that the government gives it less and less support as time goes on. It is one of the biggest and best museums I have ever seen and has a little bit of everything. The really sad thing is it isn’t big enough. The majority of the artifacts are stored in a vault, under the museum, because there is no place to display...
Once the festivities have ended, I crawl into one of our SUVs with my girlfriends. Their parents have all agreed to let them spend the night as long as they sleep in the living room, and I sleep in my bedroom. We get home, and I am too beat to do anything, so I kiss each of my girlfriends goodnight and head to my room. I go to close my door only to discover Moira has followed me. She may be tired, but she is wearing a flirtatious grin. “You know I promised all the parents that there would...
When we stop, I tell him, “You might as well come in for breakfast. I have a surprise for everybody, and you might as well join in. I’m sure you will want to have a say in part of it.” “What is it this time?” “I’m trying to have fun with a business venture. It is time I stopped being all work and no play. This will let me play and work at the same time.” “I got to see this.” He follows me in. It is still early. Sam and Gramps are having breakfast, but Zlata and all my girlfriends are at...
The day after I get my driver’s licence, when I get back from cycling, Paul is waiting for me. I tell the girls to head into the house because the look on his face tells me that he wants to have a private conversation. I put my bike into the garage, and as soon as I step out, Paul grabs my arm and drags me behind the garage. He looks a bit angry, but I can’t think of what it might be unless he has discovered what the anti-US smear campaign is about. He waits until we hear the door shut from...
On the way back to the SUV, I tell Gun, “The back roads are filled with Mennonites. Head straight for the highway. Drive as fast as you can until you see the first sign for highway 29. Then, slow to the speed limit. We will need to turn left off the highway in Charlie Lake.” We get to the vehicle, and I jump in the back. Jane and Grace are in the middle seat, so I hop to the back seat. I don’t bother to hide my rifle, throwing it into the trunk area. Turning to face the front, I see Grace...
The next thing I know, I’m being woken by a knock on the bedroom door. Carol tries to crawl out of bed to answer it, and I pull her back to me and say, “Come in.” Gun opens the door and steps in. He cuts to the chase, “She is no worse than we anticipated. Dr. Willson refuses to estimate how long it will take before she is back to normal until after tomorrow’s tests.” “At least there is some good news.” “If you want to see her, I would suggest the girls stay in the living room. I think she...
I wish I could say that the drama for Spring break is over, but it isn’t. The following morning, after we complete our cycle training. Paul is waiting for me in the parking lot. I stop to talk with him as the rest of the team passes us, heading to the showers. I ask, “Do I have time for a shower first or is this that important.” “Shower up. There is no need to stink up the vehicle.” We still drive around in a vehicle when it is something of extreme secrecy. The building containing the...
I get home to find my girlfriends, including Jen, already there. They must have come directly from school. When Sam and Zlata aren’t around, we have started using the love seat they normally occupy. I typically sit on the couch with a girl on either side and the two girls that are left out cuddle on the love seat. It is a lot more comfortable than having them sit on the floor between our legs. Today I share the couch with Jen and Moira. For some reason, we are watching The Flintstones. When...
The driver and one bodyguard jump into the SUV while we leave the bikes and two guards behind. Jason is wearing an earbud, so Sato doesn’t hear when Jason is told to delay Him. Two blocks south, we stop at a gas station. There is little traffic outside where the phone is so it isn’t difficult to hear. I give the operator my credit card number and phone Kawasaki’s head office in Tokyo, Japan. The problem is Kawasaki has dual headquarters, and I don’t know it Sato is from Kobe or Tokyo. I...
My body has gotten used to waking up an hour before my alarm while receiving some kind of sexual pleasure. I wake 50 minutes before my alarm with a painful erection. I ignore it and watch Dahlia sleep. I don’t hear Kim, but when the next person arrives, I can hear Kim profusely complaining about Dahlia taking her morning to wake me up. I want to be here for Dahlia when she wakes up, but I have to defuse the situation. I’m careful not to wake her as I slip out of bed and put on some pants. I...
The day of the Tour de Victoria arrives. I have an agreement that the cheerleaders would attend wearing our jersey, but two or three girls are missing from every team. Carol is fully healed from her injuries, and I still have some bruised ribs but decide to do the 140k distance anyway. Sam and Grandpa rented trailers to bring all the bikes to the race. Almost every event has the maximum amount of athletes. Some cyclists are turned away. I’m not surprised to say, it almost feels like a...
Just before I pack it in for supper, Dr. Willson phones. “Hi Trent, Nancy said you called.” “There is something I’m working on, but I need to ask you some personal questions before I get into it.” “OK, well, ask away.” “The picture on your desk, Is that your daughter?” “Yes, it is, why?” “How old is she?” “13, What’s this got to do with?” “Where does she go to school?” “Edward Milne” “Where is that?” “Sooke” “So, she will be going to Belmont next year.” “That is right. What is...
Here is the first part of a story for your enjoyment. The story may continue, or it may not. In any case, it contains material situations, and descriptions of an adult nature and those under 18 should not read it. In addition, some adults may be offended by scenes involving forced cross-dressing and abuse of authority and power by parents, educators, and siblings. Those potentially offended are invited to move on to a different story. They are not the intended...
Misty Andersen and Tamara Brewer had shared homeroom together every semester since they had arrived at Monroe Middle School as sixth graders, two-and-a-half years past. Despite this fact, they barely knew each other, and throughout their tenure together, they had had little in common beyond the fact that both of their last names started with letters at the beginning of the alphabet - the sole basis of their common homeroom assignment. Through all of sixth, all of seventh, and now most of eighth...
I’ve put together web-links for The Aoeline Hall concert, and all the chapter title songs that I’ve included in this 4th Book of The Energists series. I am not including a web-links for the chapter songs that I have already included in the ‘concert playlist’ for The Aoeline Hall concert. If I used some special videos of a song to help with writing this story, I will include them. I’ve also included any ‘extra songs’ in this book, such as: Running with the Devil, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,...
It all started when I got this report from that fancy school Julia sends my kid Rico to, like he suddenly gets a B for English of all things, and there's some dumb comment that if he did his homework then he might get an A. Now, I don't pay some dumb ass teacher for crap like that, do I? Its disrespectful and for a legit businessman like myself with entirely legit enterprises in the entertainment and security businesses on the East Coast and in Sicily, it causes embarrassment and a...
A number of years ago I used to teach a few evening classes at a local community college. Now everyone has heard of the co-ed who got a passing grade by screwing her professor or instructor. Any professor or instructor you have ever talked to about it always claimed that when they had been approached with such a proposal always turned it down. First of all, I had to wonder how many were bull-shitting to start with, and if there was any truth to it, how butt-ugly was the girl making the...
‘My arithmetic still needs improvement,’ I said, sliding my report card across the table to her, ‘but I’d like to think my printing is still worthy of your ‘Excellent.’ ‘ Julia picked up the card, and as I studied her smile in the candlelight, it occurred to me that I was still her student even 25 years later, still eager to please. And that she was still absolutely beautiful. ‘My goodness… you kept this?’ she said. ‘After all these years?’ ‘It was my last good report card, Julia,’ I joked....
Twins Part 1 - Seventh Grade (Alex makes friends with Allison, notices that his nipples are a little swollen, begins masturbating in the shower and gets a haircut that does not turn out as expected.) "It was a dark and stormy night .........." Well, actually, that had nothing to do with my homework assignment. My seventh grade teacher had given us an assignment to write a two page story about the most exciting thing that happened to each of us during the summer between our sixth...
"No! no! no... I will not cut up any old poor little frog! It doesn't mater what you say Dora Lee. I just won't!" I don't usually talk back to my step mother, but I was mad that day. I get real tired of all her shit. For the most part, she let's me do what I want. But, then when it comes to school, she gets on me like white on rice. It's my father's fault really. He told Dora Lee that he wanted me to go to the University of Texas, Austin. But... He also said he wasn't planning on...
"Come in," his voice answered the knock. She walked into the classroom, closing the door behind her. "Veronica! You just caught me. I was about to leave for the day. How can I help you?" Veronica is momentarily mute thanks to her crush on Mr. J. His blonde hair and blue eyes had many of his students drooling; some even openly joked about meeting up with him after graduation. Snapping back to reality, she began to speak: "I need to speak to you about my grade, Mr. J. It's...
My Mom is an actor by profession. She’s been part of plays and has done many theater works. Mom despite all these years of hard work in the industry never got to work on any film project. It was always her dream to have starred in a movie but it never really happened. Maybe part of the reason was because she had me at such a young age that she could never fully pursue her dream. She got pregnant with me when she was 19 with some big name Producer who told Mom at that time to sleep with him in...
IncestJames 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...
Supernatural"Mr. Roberts?" I didn't even have to look up from my paperwork. I knew that voice all too well. Good thing she couldn’t see my pants. "Ms. Robinson," he said in an only-slightly annoyed tone -- not even bothering to lift my eyes from my work. "To what do I owe the honor?" "I came by to check my grade, but they weren't posted." Although I certainly was in no mood for delays, I knew he had to look up. In my office was Stephanie Robinson. In my 17 years of teaching, she was, hands...
The school was empty as 18-year-old Sharon sat alone in her English Lit class, awaiting the return of her teacher, Mr. Smyth. It being a Friday, the school emptied even quicker than usual, and Sharon,herself! pretty 5 foot 7 blonde senior, doubted anyone, from students to faculty, were still around.Perhaps some administrators in the main office downstairs, but here on the third floor it was as empty and quiet as a tomb. She was also in danger of not graduating, since she was holding a solid F...
