I spoke with Ramón at breakfast, explaining what I wanted to do with the remaining money from selling the Kozlov properties. He stared at me, stunned, when I told him my plan. I wanted to build houses or manufactured homes on the rocky property for our workers on the rocky property, rather than have everyone live in trailers or mobile homes. We would use the mobile homes for older couples whose children had moved out or for newly married couples with no children. Eventually, we’d use them for seasonal workers during harvest. I’d build two, three, and four-bedroom houses for the families of employees with children. I left it to him to poll everyone and see if they wanted individual yards, or community spaces where the kids could play.
I knew that some of the families preferred living together in a large nuclear family. Four of those families had grouped mobile homes and manufactured homes together at the N.C. farm, forming a square with a large patio area between them that they had covered. I wanted those families to move into the remaining large homes. The thirteen farms I’d purchased had twelve homes, although a couple of the larger homes had smaller granny flats, and a couple had bunkhouses for farmhands. In our case, extended family or seasonal workers could live in those.
Subtracting my house, the shot-up gang house next door, and the two houses my brothers had moved into, I had eight large homes left. Carlos and Ramón would each need one for their families, and the four big nuclear families would each get one of the bigger houses. That left two houses.
In addition, I needed to have the contractor check out the house next door to see how much it would cost to repair. If it was too much, I might just raze the house. I had no idea what the Hanley property offered, and would need to look at it today or tomorrow.
With Ramón’s agreement on everything, I needed to call Carl and see if he thought Kroger would be interested in year-round organic tomatoes. It was 8:00, almost lunchtime to those of us who get up before the rooster. For Carl, it should be late enough that he would be up. Reaching for my cell phone, I realized that I left it turned off all day yesterday. When I turned it on, it rang.
“Speaking of the Devil,” I laughed, seeing Carl’s name on the caller ID.
“Jim!” Carl exclaimed. “Is everything okay?” he asked, sounding concerned.
“Fine, I just forgot to turn my cell phone on yesterday,” I replied.
“No, I’m talking about the shootout up there yesterday. I came out to see how you planned to lay out the crops and couldn’t get within two miles of your place. Evidently, the feds busted a big drug smuggling ring near you. It was all over the news last night. With as much property as you own, it had to be next to one of them,” he explained.
“Oh, it was. The feds used our house as their command post all day. The last one just left a couple of hours ago. I actually own the house they attacked, right next door to us, just over half a mile away. I didn’t know they had the roads closed, or even that it was on the news. Yesterday was a zoo here,” I answered.
“I’m glad everyone is okay,” he said, sounding relieved.
“The only injuries that I’m aware of were to the bad guys. Hey, I’ve been talking with Ramón about planting most of our tomatoes in greenhouses, and growing them year-round,” I said to change the subject. “Think Kroger would be interested in that?” I asked.
“Are you kidding, they’d love it, but do you know how expensive it’s going to be to build the greenhouses and provide the heat and light you’ll need in the winter?” he asked.
“I’m going to install more windmills, so the heat and light will be much cheaper. As for the greenhouses, I made another big profit selling a group of properties near where my folks lived in Virginia. I pocketed almost as much as what I cleared on the deal you set up for me, and can afford cash for the greenhouses. Imagine no debt to pay off for the greenhouses, and almost free heat and light. I’m willing to bet the tomatoes in the off-season won’t be much more expensive than what we harvest during the summer. That should bring in a few new customers to your stores.”
“Oh, man, my boss may come down personally and kiss you,” he laughed.
“If your boss is a guy, tell him to take it out on his wife. If it’s a woman, she’ll need to get permission from my spousal equivalents, first,” I laughed, realizing as I said it that Carl didn’t know about any of my harem.
“Do what?” Carl gasped. “First, I didn’t even know you were dating again, much less seriously. Second, unless I heard wrong, you said equivalents, as in more than one,” he prodded.
“Bring the wife and kids, and plan to stay for dinner. It’s a long story, and you can meet all nine members of my harem,” I suggested.
“Nine, yeah, right. I’ll bring all four of my wives, too,” he said, obviously thinking I was pulling his leg.
“If you’ve got four wives, bring them. I’m serious about the nine women,” I replied.
“This I gotta see. I’ll get my family loaded into the car and we’ll be there in about an hour,” he said. We said our goodbyes and hung up.
My next phone call was to Connor Phelps, my local contractor. He was excited to hear from me. They had already finished the only two small outside jobs they’d gotten since starting to work for me. He assured me he’d be here within the hour. Since I had an hour to kill, and felt drawn to visit the Hanley house, I took a drive. Several minutes later, I drove up the long driveway to the Hanley house.
It was another beautiful antebellum plantation home. Although smaller than mine, it was still gorgeous. Thinking about it, I guess that each of the old plantation style homes nearby were smaller than mine was. In the distance, I could see a herd of what appeared to be a hundred or so Angus cattle. I doubted that they would qualify as organically raised, although there was lots of pasture available.
Despite the beautiful exterior appearance of the house, once I walked through the front door, I was hit with an uneasy feeling. Standing in the entryway, I looked around. While the decor in my home was classically elegant, such as polished marble floors, the decor inside this house was gaudy and pretentious.
Curio shelves, filled with expensive-looking knick-knacks, covered the walls. Marble pedestals lined both sides of the hallway, topped with what appeared to be antique Oriental vases or pottery. I couldn’t believe that the Marshals didn’t take it all. This stuff had to be worth a fortune. Then again, maybe that was why Walt felt seven million was a fair price, even if he paid for it with confiscated cash.
Still, it wasn’t the pretentiousness making me uneasy. I knew the sordid things that had happened here, having suffered through Stella’s recitation to the doctor. Knowing what had happened, and that it had happened here made me nauseous, but not edgy. The feeling I had now was similar to what I felt yesterday morning. That feeling was what made me keep searching for the source of the scream.
Listening carefully, all I heard was my own rapid breathing and my own pulse in my ears. With my right hand, I drew my Glock. With my left, I dialed Jan on my cell phone. “Hi, baby,” she answered eagerly.
“Listen carefully,” I whispered. “Send backup to the Hanley house. I just got here, and something is making me nervous. Do not call me back; I’m turning off my cell phone, Okay?”
“Got it, send help, don’t call. Be careful, Jim,” she replied.
“I will,” I whispered, hung up, and turned my phone off. The last thing I needed was for it to ring at an inopportune moment and give me away.
I didn’t know my way around the house, but enough light shone through the windows that I could see through much of the ground floor of the house from the entryway. The formal living room and dining room were to the left, the parlor and stairway were to the right. Stepping on the back of my left shoe, I slid my foot out of it, and did the same to my right shoe. Walking in my socks was a lot quieter than walking in running shoes. Those tended to squeak on marble floors at inconvenient times, although I wasn’t getting a feeling of danger yet.
Speaking of squeaks, I heard one that sounded like a door opening slowly. Fortunately for me, opening it slowly drew the squeak out long enough for me to place it. The noise was coming from the kitchen, beyond the dining room, and that was where the new feeling of danger was now coming from.
I tiptoed stealthily through the living room and dining room, hearing two men holding a whispered argument. “I’m telling you, they can’t have found all the videos or they would have busted us, too,” one man hissed.
“Maybe the videos didn’t show our faces. I think we should find his stash and get the hell out of the country,” the second man hissed in return.
“I think you should both put your hands up. U.S. Deputy Marshal,” I announced. They wore ski masks so I couldn’t tell much about them except height, weight, skin color, and eye color.
The man on the left complied, putting his hands on his head. I noted the lack of a visible weapon. The man on the right spun and started to raise his gun in my direction. Three rounds from my Glock caught him in the center of his chest. I had hoped he was wearing a vest so the shots would knock him down without killing him; no such luck.
The second man puked at the sight of so much blood pooling beside his friend’s lifeless corpse.
“It’s just you and me here. You have two minutes to show me where the stash of videos is, as well as the valuables you wanted, or you’ll end up like your friend,” I growled threateningly.
“They’re upstairs,” he answered anxiously between bouts of coughing up vomit, obviously terrified that he was next in line for the same treatment.
I patted him down thoroughly to make sure he didn’t have a weapon, grabbed a nearby kitchen towel to pick up and pocket the gun his friend had dropped, and then encouraged my prisoner towards the stairs, prodding him with the barrel of my gun. He had just finished showing me the last of the hiding places he knew about beneath the floorboards of the study when two of the agents who were watching our place burst in with their guns drawn.
Once they secured my prisoner, I called Walt. The FBI agent who had just arrived had been here yesterday during the raid. The tunnel entrance the two men just used to gain entry to the house hadn’t been discovered or searched yesterday.
I called the house and warned them that I’d be here for a while. They promised to entertain Carl’s family, and to have Ramón review my idea with both Connor Phelps and Carl.
Within an hour, four helicopters landed, each bringing agents from the FBI, DEA, ATF, and Marshals Service. The tunnel was thoroughly investigated. It ran west to the boathouse, in exactly the opposite direction as the tunnel where the Hanley women had been abused. Inside the boathouse was a pontoon fishing boat, all decked out with enough fishing poles and gear to supply ten people. The surprise, though, was the hidden compartments beneath the boat and inside the pontoons filled with waterproofed bundles of cocaine.
The DEA agent recognized the boat from their surveillance photos as one that had frequently fished along the creek’s bank near the house we raided yesterday. That meant there was probably another undiscovered way to get the drugs from the boat into the tunnels there.
The FBI agents took the new, smaller stash of videos to review while the DEA took control of the drugs. I opened the stash of valuables that the two intruders had come for and found a million dollars in bundled hundred-dollar bills, and a cloth bag with a double fistful of diamonds. I intended to return later and check the house thoroughly for more hidden compartments.
For now, I left the other agents cataloging and removing the contraband and installing security equipment like what they had in the house next door to me. It would let us know if anyone else tried to get back into the house or the boathouse or use either of the two tunnels. Four more agents would be left to watch this property for a week.
After greeting my guests when I finally got home, the girls all hugged me. Chloe went last, inhaled deeply with her nose in my hair as she hugged me, and then proceeded to drag me to the bedroom and ravish me. At least I remembered to take the pillowcases filled with loot to the bedroom, and didn’t leave them where someone might see what was inside so I’d have to explain.
When Chloe was sated, I was finally allowed to go back to my guests. “I’m sure Jan explained to them,” Chloe chuckled when I commented on leaving my guests. Opening the safe to put away the cash and diamonds, I was stunned to see that Walt had left everything. His handwritten note explained that his Christmas list included supplying the southeast sector with type IV armor and shields and a lot more. He would send me the list once he got lists from the sector chief. He would have the local offices of the DEA, FBI, ATF, and DHS send their lists. I made a mental note to call Dwight to see how to report the income on my taxes.
They had shared the American-made weapons and ammo we took from the tunnel with the FBI, ATF, and the DEA to help cut costs for arms and ammo. They left me all ten cases of the Russian AKs and the ammo for them. They even left me a dozen blocks of C-4, detonator caps, and det cord to use in the rocky area where we were installing windmills. Ramón already had those locked up securely. The RPGs and grenades went to the military, and they left me four sets of night vision goggles, keeping the rest.
Inside the safe was a manila envelope with birth certificates and social security cards for the three Hanley women, as well as brand new permanent visas for the Russian twins and copies of their completed applications for citizenship. There were even passports for the three Hanley women, the Russian twins, and my four spousal equivalents. Shit, someone had been busy last night. DHS being here yesterday turned out to be a good thing.
There was a document appointing me as conservator for Stella until she was deemed more stable and ready to be on her own. Another one appointed me as guardian of her younger daughter Nicole and the Russian twins, Lidiya and Lilia Gergiev. I was stunned by each document, as well as the fact that there had been a judge here yesterday, and I hadn’t even been aware of it.
When I was finally able to calm down a bit, I returned to my guests. Carl just laughed at me as he shook his head. “Only you could come up with a racket like this,” he laughed, motioning to the women around the table. “I didn’t know you were a U.S. Deputy Marshal,” he added.
“I’m just a volunteer, helping out when I can,” I gave my patented reply.
“I’ll say, the girls said that you led the raid yesterday,” he gushed.
“I only led the team that rescued the girls and secured the tunnel. Someone else led the main raid on the house. The Jacksonville Station Chief and the local heads of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and DHS all coordinated things and oversaw everything,” I explained. “Besides, I really don’t want it getting out that I was involved in the raid. There are still a few people unaccounted for, and I don’t want anyone here endangered,” I explained, as much for the benefit of the girls as for the guests.
Once the construction was well underway, it was easy to see that my initial worry about not having everything ready in time for spring planting had been groundless. Even if half of the construction men quit today, everything would be finished in time. Last night, my instincts told me it was time to visit my family. Even though I’d already told them about the divorce over the phone, I dreaded the trip. Both my mother and my sister Janie would be pushing single women at me faster than I could...
Wednesday Faizah finally experienced the real use of my desk this morning. When we finished, she almost floated back to the bedroom with as serene a look as any of the women has ever had. The sex is always great, but the happy look on their faces afterwards is what makes it extra special. Juwanna and her four assistants performed their synchronized knowing grin and eye roll when I got to the kitchen. I wondered if we could make it an Olympic event. I just waggled my eyebrows at them and...
Saturday This morning, I used the smaller, upstairs study bathroom to perform my morning ablutions so I didn’t wake the others. After I dressed, I acquired two canine followers on my way downstairs and three more once I got downstairs. I’d seen the handlers turn the dogs loose to run and do their business, and I did the same, although I stayed near the back door with the door open. The barking as they frolicked drew three more dogs outside. Juwanna and Mabel just laughed at me as I watched...
Five months later “I’m afraid this will be our last year working together,” I reluctantly told Carl, my Kroger liaison. “You’re going to sell to someone else?” he asked, sounding just as hurt as he was surprised that I would consider doing it. “No, your people have been great. I just can’t stay here any longer. Every time I go into town, too many people laugh behind my back. I’m going to take a bath when I try to sell the place, but I have to get out of here,” I sighed. Concerned for me,...
On a mid-May Friday, my wives boarded the AN-158, insisting that I join them. They wouldn’t tell me where we were going. I still had no idea what was going on when we arrived at the hotel in Lexington and they had me change into one of my tuxedos. “Will someone please tell me what we’re doing?” I asked. “You’re making us happy,” Jan replied. Two hours later the women were dressed as stylishly as I was, and we climbed into the waiting party bus. I finally realized where we were going when...
Friday I was at peace with myself this morning, and didn’t need the dogs chasing each other, the quiet walk to the creek, or working in the barn this morning. It was a good thing, because the look on Faizah’s face this morning made me sure she would have hunted me down and done me wherever I was when she found me. “I should be fertile this morning,” she husked as I pounded into her as she lay bent across my desk. When we finished, she tiptoed quickly back to the master bedroom. I’m pretty...
Friday June 2 We finally felt that we were ready. The Pickup Truck was already sailing in the general area, with the SDV in one of the holds. We spent one last night with our families and then flew out to the Pickup Truck. We rested and napped while we sailed closer to the oil platform. Well after dark descended, we suited up and did a last-minute check of our gear, and then prepared ourselves mentally. After midnight, we brought out the SDV and lowered it into the water with the Aircrane....
An hour later, I crawled into bed. I was so tired that I even put off cleaning my weapon. Hell, the roosters were already mocking me that it was time to wake up to face another day before I got home. Late that afternoon, the FBI agent in charge of the raid called. “The U.S. Attorney General gave me two different figures for the land,” he said. “He says that, if you agree to work full-time for any federal law enforcement agency, the land is yours for ten million dollars. He doesn’t even need...
Friday In the morning, we talked about it. Janie was sure Mom wouldn’t be freaked out, and was pretty sure that Mom had warned Dad years ago. She promised to talk to our two sisters-in-law, and then to our brothers to make sure they knew that she instigated it. Mabel, usually the less talkative of my two housekeepers, gave me an affectionate kiss on the cheek when she brought breakfast to the table. “You lead a strange life, but you make everyone around you happy,” she said emotionally,...
Tuesday The dogs seemed to be waiting for me this morning, which reminded me that I needed to get their handlers set up with more permanent housing. I was in the doorway watching their coursing game when a pair of arms slipped around my waist. “I’m trying to learn to get up at the same ungodly hour that you do,” Jan sighed. “Never happen,” I chuckled. “You girls would have to stop your late-night fun far too early in order to get up at this hour,” I reminded her. “True, but you are the...
I knew my way around downtown Hiaville pretty well as I’d made nearly a hundred trips there since my move. Away from the two main streets of town, though, I had no clue where I was. Thank goodness for GPS. I programmed Jacqueline’s address, and then the address of the restaurant. After updating the GPS program, I headed to Jacqueline’s house. I had no idea that Hiaville had a country club or a Country Club Estates, not that I really cared; you can’t grow much food on a golf course. I was...
Thirty-nine months later, Raúl stood next to me at the remodeled, upgraded, and enlarged refinery in Cienfuegos. It’s now twice the size of the Havana refinery. As he and I both reached for the valve wheel, a hush fell over the huge crowd gathered to witness the opening of the refinery. I had to jerk the wheel on the valve slightly to get it to move, but once it began turning, Raul joined me and the crowd began applauding and cheering. Oil from the first “official” tanker to dock here began...
13 months later On the second Saturday of my third May in Raleigh, I received my degree. As I had in high school, I graduated second in my class. My family was there to cheer for me, as were several officers from the Raleigh PD. Holly and Glenda were there, along with Holly’s fiancée, Lenny. Also in the crowd were a couple FBI agents, several Marshals, and the heads of the local ATF and DEA. Holly had started seeing Lenny a year ago and moved back into her apartment a month later. Glenda...
“I assume you’ll want to lead the assault down the tunnel?” Walt asked. “Dwight told me you were usually the first in so you could determine threats,” he explained. Once he verified that everyone else was in position, and the trailer was ready to move out, we entered the tunnel for what I hoped was the final time. This time we dropped a glow stick every hundred steps. We radioed in when we were in position--right after I padlocked the door with the ammo behind it using a different padlock...
Thursday As usual, I was awake and gone before the women awoke, although I couldn’t go too far. I noticed that we were anchored offshore and not docked in New Orleans. The captain explained that the ship had never docked here, so we didn’t have a place reserved. He didn’t want to choose a dock and have me upset with his choice. “How much does it usually cost to buy fuel for the ship?” I asked. The captain looked at me oddly. “You mean for refueling the helicopters?” he asked. “No, to keep...
Thursday I found that I really enjoyed the few minutes of watching the dogs chasing each other in the morning. Their carefree enjoyment lifted my spirits, especially after finding the human remains yesterday. I also began to better appreciate the individual personality and sexuality of each woman in the harem and worried less about one or more wanting to leave the relationship. I had no idea why I was less worried about it, but I let the worrying drop, just like I didn’t wonder anymore why...
Bitsy rolled over and started kissing me. “Got anything left for me?” she teased. “I’m sure I can be persuaded in a few minutes,” I answered as I hugged her. “Hmmmmm, I bet I can shorten the delay,” she challenged with a wicked gleam in her eye. When she took my turgid, cum-coated cock into her mouth, I was pretty sure that she was right. She stopped after less than half a minute. “Good stuff,” she said as she crawled over me to Chloe. “Share,” she demanded right before burying her face in...
The latest email from my real-estate agent reported that every retail lot along the south side of the freeway had been sold and a third of the lots fronting the north side of the freeway had been sold. Even eleven large commercial lots north of the freeway had been sold. Having them already zoned for commercial and manufacturing made them very easy to sell since the buyers wouldn’t have to buy the property gambling that they could get a zoning variance. Having a nearby highway and the...
Holly woke me with another kiss in the morning. “Thank you for everything yesterday,” she said emotionally. “Hey, I’ve got to take care of the person protecting me,” I teased. That afternoon the police arrested the group that had been after me. The man I had done the face plant with outside the theater finally told them what they needed to know so they could get the necessary warrants. When we went in for our final interview, the captain of the detectives, Captain Oliver, came in. “Officer...
Tuesday Today started like most mornings, with me enjoying watching the dogs romp. When the construction crew working on the hangars and the underground vault arrived, I took the contractor aside and told him to build a runway capable of handling a corporate jet, and a hangar for a jet. He laughed at me. Then I took him inside the house and showed him the closet off the study in the upstairs part of the bedroom. “I want a two-foot deep safe installed in the back, one with side-by-side...
Sat-Sun For the rest of the day and the next two, I met potential buyers and sellers of arms, jewels, old coins, and precious metals. I also met Chloe’s family, and met Jan’s parents again. The jeweler barely spent any time at all looking at the jewels. Each bag of diamonds had been carefully gathered to weigh exactly one pound, although individual diamonds weighed from .5 carat to three carats. The diamonds in each bag were all the same quality, excellent. One bag held one pound of D...
Friday Despite missing snuggling with my wives, I slept well and woke up just after 4:00 Riyadh time this morning. The Marine who was on duty let me into the gym so I could work out. “It’s not fair,” he complained. “The Saudis are crediting one of their Palace Guards who died with warning them about the attack.” “My ... idea,” I grunted between reps of the bench press. “I like to keep my name and face out of the news about actions I’m involved in,” I explained after finishing the reps. “The...
Sunday I missed the dogs in the morning, watching them tear around the yard, carefree. Now that all the handlers had their own places, it was lonely first thing in the morning. I was stuck with scratching King’s ears when he came over to see me. Even he looked around as if he wondered where his friends had gone. Nicole was my morning tryst today. We’d barely finished when Dad showed up, ready to get an early start on the day. Laughing, I warned him that it wasn’t safe to use the study...
After breakfast, Raúl assigned two men to fly me to the sites where I would build the farm and the ranch. When we got there, they flew so slowly and so low that I felt like we were preparing to land on one of the nearby dirt roads. The land was literally right on the coast but, aside from a narrow strip along the beach. Most of it was high enough to be safe from a storm surge or a hurricane surge. The lush green vegetation made me feel better since we wouldn’t have any compost to work into...
Walt entered the kitchen and looked at me appraisingly. “You okay? I heard you were next door, staring off into space.” I could hear in his voice that he was concerned. “So much weird shit happening today, but mainly I’ve been worried because one of the rescued girls did everything but proposition me in front of one of the shrinks and my girls. Chloe and Marisa told me not to worry about it, they all understood, so I’m fine,” I answered. “I can’t keep one woman happy,” he chuckled. “While...
Dwight had somehow arranged for me to take my finals a week early so I could attend fourteen weeks of the nineteen-week training course. He drove me to the airport and handed me a letter as I was boarding my flight to Glynco. “Dan is the agent in overall charge of the training center. Give this to him if he starts to become a nuisance,” he chuckled. Barely an hour after finishing my last final, my flight was wheels up and I was headed for Georgia. I had left my car in my assigned spot at the...
Tuesday I began interrogating the crew of the Azteca this morning. I started with the lowest ranking members and worked my way up. About a third of them talked, admitting that they worked for one of the Mexican drug cartels and were supposed to capture the yacht so they could continue using it to transport drugs. They also told me which officers and crew members worked for the drug cartel, and which men were strictly cartel members. Those officers and cartel leaders who didn’t tell me...
Janie was gone in the morning and I got up and performed my morning ablutions. This was the first time that I’d slept past dawn in a long time. Surprisingly, Mom didn’t start questioning me as soon as I entered the kitchen. I was halfway through breakfast and getting ready to stuff a forkful of eggs into my mouth when she said, “A girl called for you this morning.” I finished the bite, took a drink of orange juice, and replied, “You’ll need to be much more specific than that. It could be...
Sunday New Year’s Day Outside, I watched six dogs frolicking, still playing the same game they began months ago. The temperature hovered near 40°F (4°C) at this pre-dawn hour, and the clouds promised rain today. Maybe the local weatherman would get it right for a change. “A new year,” I thought to myself. “I wonder what opportunities and challenges are in store for us this year? And craziness,” I added. I laughed at myself for wondering if a New Year’s resolution not to add any more wives...
Monday Something woke me even earlier than usual this morning. I wasn’t sure what it was, but knew it wasn’t my normal early morning wakefulness. I crawled from bed carefully to avoid waking anyone, threw on my pants, and grabbed my Glock and two extra magazines. I didn’t know why I needed the Glock, but my gut told me I did. The upstairs was secure, and I didn’t hear any unusual sounds. The alarm panel by the front door showed that the alarms were on and nobody had breached the house. The...
The classes I was taking during the first summer session met Monday through Thursday, giving me a three-day weekend for each of the five weeks. On Thursday of the second week of classes, I got a phone call from Dwight. “Jim, I wanted to give you a heads up. The Resident Agent for the FBI just called to warn me that some agent is being sent from D.C. to investigate allegations of excessive brutality and endangering civilians during a shootout with the escapees,” he warned. “What?” I...
Wednesday “You be careful,” Juwanna admonished while we shoveled breakfast into our mouths this morning. She had no idea where we were going or what we were up to, but had seen Will here and knew the three of us had been training together for something. This was the first time the three of us had gone on the same “appointment.” Everyone who worked for us knew we did something slightly clandestine for the government. My top people and the household staff knew a great deal more, although...
The rest of the summer flew by. Somehow, I managed to cram nineteen weeks of information into fourteen weeks. On my last day, I was surprised when Dan told me that I had finished and passed the class with a 94%. The only official criterion to be a Marshal that I hadn’t met now was a college degree or equivalent military service. Until I graduated in two and a half years, I would be a provisional, part-time Marshal--whatever that meant to the pencil pushers. Nobody I worked with had seemed to...
When Dwight hung up, I called my attorney. “I figured that I’d hear from you today,” he said. “I already have a copy of the interview on the way over from all three of the stations. I promised them a press conference late Monday afternoon. That should give me time to file a libel lawsuit in Nashville and serve the Senator,” he said. “It’s a good thing we already have videos showing the three escapees delivered to prison. The prison copies of the security videos have mysteriously...
Thursday I awoke earlier than usual, especially considering the workout the women gave me last night. Something was nagging at me to wake me up this early. Worried about a possible break-in through a tunnel we hadn’t discovered yet, I grabbed my Glock and hurried downstairs. The alarm system showed that the house was secure, and the rooms I’d been in were the only ones that showed any motion. Turning off the alarm on the back door, I opened it and stepped out into the chilly night air. I...
Monday Martine, the FBI agent helping watch both my house and the gang house woke me in the middle of the night. “We have company next door. Someone is trying to open the boathouse door,” she whispered. I woke the girls around me and asked them to wake the dog handlers and have them gear up and guard the house. I didn’t want the dogs in the tunnel if there might be shooting. Besides, our sensors should let us know where the intruders were as well as the dogs could. I dressed and put my...
Tuesday By now, it was nearly 0500 Washington time so I called Ray, figuring that he would be leaving soon. “You are cleared to resume normal activities to NAS Meridian, but say nothing to anyone about a resolution of the problem,” I advised. I called Will back and explained what we found out. “Any chance you could get a decrepit chopper out here quickly so we can shoot it down?” I asked. “You don’t ask for much, do you,” he groaned. “If not, just find the cheapest old chopper and I’ll...
This is a complex story centered on the origins of a very bad man briefly introduced at the end of The Logic of My Anger: A Sociopath’s Tale of Vengeance. The Pickup Truck Man is a professional kidnapper, a taker of beautiful women for one of several Midnight Harvest teams rumored to be run by an elderly Eastern European. This businessman is thought to live in south-central Texas and uses these teams to acquire new talent to stock a high-end whorehouse he owns. In this story, during the more...
My wife Linda and I moved to the Denver area from Philadelphia for my job 10 years ago, when I was 50 years old and she was 47. This was a great move for us professionally, and I have prospered with my company. The problem is that both of us were born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs and had lived there our entire lives until the move, and we lost our support group of friends and family. My name is Ed, and Linda and I always had a close relationship and a very active and normal sex life,...
Dirty Old Pickup Truck SexTami is my age, and I'd had an affair with her for a time. She was the one who introduced me to girl-girl fun a couple of summers ago. She's chosen a different path, and we parted ways, even though we still see each other fairly regularly. Life is funny sometimes, and for a brief time this summer I'd dated her younger sister. Yes, I'd asked Tami about dating Toni before I started, and Tami gave me the Okay, but once I'd started I got the impression that Tami wasn't...

Interracial“Dorothy Shaw, Director of the Lucky Jim Historical Society provided the first ‘official’ verification of the Lucky Jim credential,” The President continued. “Dorothy, are you still sure about your authentication?” Dorothy was next to Jim and stood up. “I am even surer today than I was the day I originally agreed that he was Lucky Jim. Before meeting him, I’d met with numerous claimants to the title Lucky Jim and none of them met the standard. When I met with Jim, he made no claim to the...
Friday early morning We had all checked in and turned in our gear by 0130 hours. “Everyone is off until Saturday morning. Report for PT at 0700 hours Saturday,” Lt. Commander Ferguson barked, eliciting a loud cheer from everyone. “Before you go, each of the fire team leaders needs to submit a brief overview of your team’s actions tonight. Aside from that, we have video coverage from the grav sleds and everyone’s helmet cams. Anyone who has something they feel should be added should see me...
Monday I don’t remember anything else until Juana woke me up this morning. I was still groggy but knew what she had on her mind and helped as she guided me into her welcoming sheath. “How’s our hero this morning?” she asked happily. “Half asleep and dreaming that I have a gorgeous, naked woman making love to me,” I replied, receiving an enthusiastic kiss for my answer. “Where is everyone else?” I asked, noticing that we were alone. “School, hunting, or working,” she replied. “You also...
Thursday I woke early, dressed, and finished a peaceful, pre-dawn ten-klick run that gave me time to think about the businesses I was starting. I was just getting ready for a shower when reveille sounded over the base’s PA system. This bugle player was good. I had waved at him when I ran by on my way back to the barracks. “You’re awake,” Cooper chuckled when he saw me. “Are you kidding? You were still sawing logs while I ran ten klicks already,” I teased back. I don’t think he believed me...
When we went to breakfast, I noticed one of the huge soup pots was in use. “We cooked up rice, carrots and peas, and added junk meat we’d have fed to the pigs. The dogs loved it,” Aunt Peggy explained. I spent a few quiet minutes and mentally reached out to the dogs as they ran and chased each other around the property. Once again, they noted my presence. I sensed that they were exceedingly happy not being cooped up in the small kennels. Here, they could run and play. I don’t know if it...
Mar 8-9, 1857 Emma’s POV We leased space in a warehouse in Leavenworth near the docks. Every one of the white women who had lived near here wanted to bring everything from their homes. I could understand in a way. It was all they had remaining of their former lives and their loved ones. Jim would probably be upset about it. Then an idea hit me. We raided the town, buying all the luggage they had, and bought lumber and carpenter’s tools for the men to make wooden crates. We packed and crated...
Later Sunday morning Within minutes of dressing for church, I felt a second danger, this one to the northwest. “Is this some sort of test because I waited so long to admit it?” I asked the ceiling rhetorically after a deep sigh. “Something going on?” Don asked from nearby. “Some sort of trouble to the northwest,” I sighed. “Fort Polk?” Don asked. That had been my guess, too. I used the new handheld computer Don got for me and aimed it towards the trouble, taking a vector. “Back in a few,...
Friday March 11 As usual, I was up before sunrise. The problem was that there wasn’t any place to go, so I settled for the main deck where I went through my forms. I began jogging around the deck when I finished. Nearing the stern, I was surprised to find two of the crew fishing. “Would you like to join us?” one of them asked. “I’d love to fish, but not that way. I’ll be back in a few minutes,” I replied, and then made my way below to where the helicopter was housed. Our Security’s grav...
Tuesday Oh dark thirty It took us hours to clear the town. When we finally finished, I went to the holding area and walked amongst the detainees, marking each person with their threat index score. More than half of them were between one and three, forced to be here and kept here by the posted sentries. The men worked in the mine, the women took care of the home. Some women spent part of their day reloading 10 mm cartridges. When the attack began at the southern end of the tunnel complex,...
CHAPTER 1 The young farmer hesitated as he stepped up to the large hole in the rocky side of the mountain. The last time he was here his experience had been amazing. Now that he was once again standing at the cave’s entrance he was beginning to regret his decision to come back. The boy had come to the delightful conclusion that the cavern’s tenant was likely out and about in the forest. With the cave unoccupied it would be best for him to return home with much haste. Heavy footsteps from...
Monday Feb 22 At 0300 Monday morning, I was again strapped into the seat of the weapons specialist aboard the Talon. Max had returned last night with two sealed letters. The first was from the President. The sooner, the better. President Talbot The second letter was from General Conklin. Start with the East Coast again. Work your way to the West Coast. Then anything over China and Southeast Asia. Hit the Mideast, including the territory Russia claimed after the MEW. Do Africa, saving...
Fiona didn’t pester me quite so much as she was happy to give her cunt a rest after the abuse it had taken from so many cocks over the last year or so. Going from a baron 4 years of no cock to a wanton 40+ milf had taken its toll on Fiona; although enjoyable she’d been fucked ragged. Alice collared me whenever we were alone and would rub my cock through my jeans or shorts whispering in my ear, “I need your dick inside me again, stretching my pussy open and spunking inside me, when can...
Wednesday Having gone to sleep early last night, I was awake early this morning. I didn’t want to disturb anyone else since they were all still up last night when I fell asleep. I finally got up because I had to pee. Then I took a quick shower. “You’re up early,” Cooper commented from the shower doorway. “I figured that you’d still be wiped out from yesterday.” “I was pretty tired last night, but I’m okay this morning. I’m usually up this early to hunt or fish,” I replied. “How do you...
“We can’t wait all night for those yahoos. They probably found some young pussy and stopped to have fun. Start loading the cattle and we’ll have the last two haulers wait here for when they get back,” he ordered the men. “All we do is arrange the cattle inside the trailer and drive. I don’t know nothing about gettin’ them damn critters into a chute,” one of the drivers replied. “How hard can it be to get a bunch of stupid animals onto your trucks?” the fancy man retorted angrily. “Since...

However, the details are often changed so the stories may more readily fit into the prevailing culture, and as such, many of the true details are lost.

Sunday When I commed Cooper after breakfast, he had both Red and Blue Squads ready to pick up where we left off Friday. There were no new danger vectors from Chongqing so we headed north. I’d already taken second vectors to complete the vectors for the rest of China. I hugged and kissed my wives goodbye as the Talons began arriving to take my family home. The Mistresses of the Dragon stayed here and I had instructions from Sally to make sure Zan, Nuo, Wei, and Jia were pregnant since that’s...
