Back to Charlie’s POV:
Jeremy was reveling in all the abilities he’d just acquired. Well, abilities he’d HAD, but didn’t KNOW he had or how to use. Unbeknownst to him, he LOST the power of Time Travel. That was the one concession I made to Zeus when he agreed to ‘enhance’ Jeremy’s powers with the ‘instructions’ on how to use them.
He also agreed to give Jeremy one ‘package’ of three abilities he could give to his friend, Rex. He could also pass on 5 GoC’s, along with unlimited Temporary CS ‘spells’.
We said our goodbyes to Zeus and as soon as Jeremy and I were alone, he asked, “I guess you should take us back home?”
I snickered, “Nope, YOU can take yourself home. You need the practice and we DO have to get a plan together to deal with those Bank robbers and Viktor.”
“Yeah, but TJ was driving and I’m not sure exactly where you live.”
I grinned, “Ahh, Weed-hopper, do you remember what my living room and foyer looked like?”
He nodded.
“Well, just close your eyes and imagine being just inside my door and when you blink, you’ll BE there. You could also just ‘pop’ in by ANYONE who you know. So, you COULD just pop in by Rex. But, unless you want to scare the crap out of him, you might want to turn invisible first, pop there, then announce your presence, then drop the invisibility!”
He acted like he understood, so I said, “I’m outta here! See you at home, we still have a lot to do yet tonight.” Then I went invisible and popped home.
A few seconds later, Jeremy flashed that he was by the door. I suggested we take a second to walk around and check out what was going on. I wanted him to get used to being invisible and just ‘observing’ things.
We saw Greg and Rex having ‘a moment’. Greg had bonded with Rex, turning a major skeptic into a true believer. He then told him about our ‘GoC’, and asked him if he was ready to accept the gift and the ‘consequence’.
I felt Jeremy using the ‘boost’ of his powers that he had just received from Zeus. He was knowing and FEELING Rex’s every thought and emotion. When Rex thought to himself, ‘Now, I won’t feel like a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest’, Jeremy materialized. “Amundo, my friend, and NOW I’m a fixin’ to arm you to the teeth! It’s time to turn the tables on the evil one and make HIM tremble in fear!”
Everyone was giving high-five’s and we settled down around the kitchen table to come up with a plan.
It was apparent that while the bank robbers WEREN’T exactly our top priority, they needed to be dealt with first. Exactly what we wanted to DO with them, however, was the subject of much discussion. We considered letting them rob the bank so we could follow them to their meeting with either Bill or Viktor. The thing that shot that idea down was the fact that they always showed up with a bomb and there was too much of a chance for severe collateral damage. TJ kept reminding us that he needed to catch them in the act so we could tie-in all their other crimes.
Our newest ‘Amigo’, Jeremy, came up with an idea. “Why don’t a couple of us sneak into their house tonight and just diffuse the bomb or switch it out for a couple of rocks?”
TJ added, “Yes, and, for that matter, we could remove the firing pins from their weapons, rendering them useless too! If we can eliminate possible collateral damage, we can just let them attempt the robbery then bust them in the act, with all the evidence.”
We finished finalizing our plans just after midnight. Brock reported that the lights were still on in the house and there had been recent movement within the house, but nothing outside.
Now we just had to wait. Brock was going to let us know the minute the lights went out.
By 1:30am we were getting VERY anxious. AND tired ... of waiting. At 2:00am, Bob said, sotto voice, “I’ve GOTTA see what’s going on...”
We all agreed. I was just about to go with him when the phone rang.
It wasn’t who we were expecting.
TJ was doing the phone, since we were expecting Brock’s call. YES, Brock could have just flashed any of us, but, in an effort to keep their telepathy a secret, Brock used the phone when anyone ‘unauthorized’ was near him.
But it WASN’T Brock. It was Bill, from next door.
TJ handed me the phone, a curious look on his face, “It’s your friend Bill. He sounds pretty tense.”
“Hey Buddy, what’s got you up at this hour?”
“My night answering service just gave me an urgent message ... I’m supposed to meet those two guys, Kurt and Ben at my office right at 9:00am! You told me not to go in. What should I do?”
This was strange. The bank they were supposed to rob opened at 9:00 and most of their robberies happened shortly after the bank had opened.
I told Bill, “I’ll meet you at your office at 8:45am. I’ll be invisible, but we can communicate mentally. Something is off about the timing. If I don’t connect with you before you arrive at your office, drive away and DON’T go in.”
I asked TJ, “When is the armored car due to arrive at the bank tomorrow?”
TJ’s brow furled for a second, “10:45am ... there WOULD be time to meet your friend before the robbery. What do you think he wants with Bill?”
I’d forgotten to mention Bills revelation to me earlier that night. “Sorry TJ, but earlier tonight, just after I talked to you, Bill told me that Kurt and Ben had been in to see him and he got suspicious. They’d been investing large amounts of cash into what he discovered were shell companies and wanted his help to transfer the money to an offshore account in the Cayman’s. I meant to tell you that was why I suspect that our robbers might be trying to ditch Viktor. They’re definitely scared of him. He’s been extorting a large take of their robbery money from them.”
“Okay Charlie, can you, Bob and Greg follow them, you know, invisibly and be SURE you don’t lose them?”
I grinned, “No problem. What do you want me to do about Bill? I can’t leave him hanging.”
TJ nodded, “You can be with him after you guys determine where they’re all going. We need the info on those shell corporations AND the account in the Cayman’s to get the stolen money back.
“Rex and Jeremy, since this isn’t in your jurisdiction, you’ll just be along for the ride. You can be backup incase things go sideways.
“We’ll see exactly what they’re up to before we take them down. We AREN’T going to let them rob the bank. Before the bank opens we’ll have the bomb squad install a special bomb disposal container in the lobby. I’ll let you see where it is; it’ll look like a regular trash can. As soon as they announce the robbery, Charlie, you, Greg or Bob need to mentally snatch the briefcase and stuff it in the container, then ‘Jonah’ can take down the robbers.”
We were just finalizing plans with Bob suddenly flashed, “um, TJ, didn’t you say that the one bomb they left behind contained about one brick of C-4 explosives?”
TJ’s eyebrows furled, “yeah Bob, why do you ask?”
“Well, I’m watching them right now and that huge briefcase looking thing has four, I repeat four, 6” x 3” x 1½” thick bricks worth of C-4. Each brick is packed inside what looks like 2 thick-walled steel pipes, with a detonator pushed into each pipe. This briefcase has eight of those pipes in it!”
Bob had been on broadcast mode so everyone could hear.
Rex’s eyes bugged out and he said, “TJ, there’s no fucking way a standard ATF bomb disposal container is going to handle that! The container itself will simply add to the shrapnel. We CAN’T let that bomb, diffused or not, get anywhere near the bank. The results could be catastrophic!”
TJ was breathing in gasps, trying to think. He flashed, “Bob, see if you can listen in on what they have in mind for that bomb. I don’t think they’d build something like that just for a deterrent. This feels all wrong to me. Keep us posted, okay?”
Greg looked at us, “I’m going to join Bob and see if I can get a better feel for what they have in mind. I’m thinking you might have to take them down before they ever leave the farm.”
He flashed Bob to find out where to teleport relative to where he was so he wouldn’t be seen. He went invisible and then disappeared.
Rex flashed, “Greg buddy, you and Bob be careful and get the hell out of there at the first sign of trouble. No telling whether or not these clowns know what they’re doing. You wouldn’t believe how many times amateur bomb makers blow themselves up before they have a chance to blow anything else up!”
Several minutes passed before Bob and Greg popped back in the living room, white as ghosts. Suddenly we heard what sounded like muted thunder, then Brock flashed, “Holy FUCKING SHIT. I hope your guys weren’t still in there! That farmhouse just fucking blew up and there’s nothing left but splinters! We’re parked almost half a mile away and our car damn near flipped over from the concussion. Their car, the Grand National, is flipped on its roof over 150 feet from where it was parked and the barn is now in a pile behind where it used to be. The stolen car is buried in the rubble. I don’t think there’s going to be any robbery tomorrow... “
Bob then caught his breath and gave Greg a huge hug, “Thanks for ‘beaming us out of there, Scotty’, when I saw that doofus hooking up that battery I thought I was going to wet myself”
Greg was shaking his head, “DON’T SAY A WORD, Charlie, but, I think I just shat my drawers again. I saw the same thing Bob did and wanted to make sure he didn’t hesitate.”
Bob continued, “You might want to tell Brock to search for one of the women. One of them went out to have a cigarette a few minutes before we bailed out of there.”
It was now after 3am and we were all dog tired.
TJ had to go out to the farmhouse to coordinate the Crime Scene Technicians. My rendezvous with Bill would probably not be necessary as the 4 perps were presumed to be dead. I did wonder about Viktor, though.
TJ said that he needed to get with Bill to get the information on where the money was so he could recover it for the banks that had been robbed.
I told him I’d go with him.
I reluctantly set my alarm for 7:00am, to go in with Bill and TJ, at 8:00. We set Rex and Jeremy up in the guest room and the foldout couch for the rest of the night.
When the alarm went off, I REALLY didn’t want to get up. Mary was already up, feeding CJ and so was Linda, feeding Olivia and Erik.
Rex and Jeremy were smiling at how the girls were so openly breastfeeding in their presence. They told us how much they wished their ‘girls’ were here with them so they could meet all of us.
Rex added, “Joni and Sheila have been ‘hinting’ that they want to have babies, ‘sooner rather than later’!”
Jeremy chuckled, “I told Sheila I was allergic to baby diapers. Do YOU guys change diapers?”
Now I was laughing, “Ohhh yeah! Just get a set of nose plugs. It’s not as bad as you think and when you see the little ones smile and coo at you, it makes it all worth it. It looks like CJ needs a change, do you wanna help me?” I chuckled.
Mary handed me CJ as she took Erik from Linda to feed him as Linda was running low on ‘breakfast’. I grinned at Jeremy, “Come on, you may as well get your first lesson ... just think how happy it’ll make Sheila!”
Jeremy wasn’t grinning or even smiling. With a forced smirk, he said, “I guess. What do we do first?”
I led him over to the changing table next to the kids’ playpen. I took my nose plugs and put them on poor Jeremy, causing everyone to laugh, then commenced to opening CJ’s highly soiled diaper. He was looking on, grimacing, but also not backing away. I was grimacing as little CJ had a real case for needing a Hazmat team’s intervention! I was describing the process and Jeremy chuckled when, before pulling the old diaper away, we waited for the ‘fountain’ to finish. He grinned at me as CJ was giggling while Jeremy carefully finished the ‘paperwork’ doing as I’d told him and only wiping from front to back. Both he and Rex mentioned that bit of information was going to come in handy, especially if they had girls.
The gaiety ended when Jeremy picked up the freshly diapered CJ and CJ looked into his eyes, “Jewwy help Daddy! A bad man wants to hurt Daddy!”
Jeremy’s eyes were popping out of his head. He looked deeply into CJ’s eyes, “Did a man in white tell you that?”
Somehow, Jeremy had read CJ’s mind and was hugging my son as CJ flashed, “Yes, he say Jewwy need to help Daddy!”
Mary had her hand on her pendant and she said it was warm.
Jeremy smiled at me and nodded before looking again into CJ’s eyes, “I certainly will, Little Buddy. That’s what I came here to do and your ‘Uncle Jerry’ won’t let you down!” He kissed CJ on his forehead before handing him back to me.
CJ looked at me intensely, “Daddy keep Unca Jewwy safe too!”
I assured him I would.
TJ flashed, “Charlie, things out here are still a work in progress. The CSI (Crime Scene Investigator) guys have finally been able to determine that there were three bodies or should I say, pairs of shoes with feet in them, in the house. Two are male and one is female. The fourth female suspect hasn’t been found yet. We just uncovered the stolen car behind the barn and it’s apparent someone had been inside smoking cigarettes, but there was no body in there. We’ve combed the area and there is no sign of her. Since none of the other bodies have been identified, positively, based on what Greg said last night, I’m presuming the dead guys are Ben and Kurt. Also, from what Greg said, the female is probably Karen, Kurt’s wife. I’ll have to get with Bill later this afternoon, but you should go with him just in case Diane somehow got away and may show up to try and get some money.”
I looked at Jeremy and he just nodded that he’d heard and he and Rex were coming with me.
Bob and Greg said they were coming too. They would stay invisible, but would be there. If this Viktor guy was going to get me, he was going to have his hands full.
At 8:30am Bill flashed, saying he was heading for the office. I flashed that we’d meet him there and follow him in. When he flashed that he was at the office, we all popped in 5 feet behind him, all of us invisible. Shortly after we entered his office, his secretary announced that Diane and Ben Braxton were here to see him.
Bob flashed, “What the fuck? He’s splattered all over that farmhouse! There’s no way... “
Just then the two walked in and Bob flashed, “That sure looks like the guy who we saw last night.”
Bill didn’t know about last night, so wasn’t too freaked out. He greeted them, “Hi Ben, who is this lovely lady?”
“Thees ees my wife, Diane. We need to transfer all that money now. Ees everything ready?”
It sounded like Ben had developed a Russian accent. I flashed the guys on our private mode, “I think this might be Viktor. We know he has the ability to look like anyone. Get ready for anything.”
I then flashed Bill, “Tell him exactly what I tell you to, okay?”
“Sure, I take it we’re NOT making the transfer?”
“You got it. I don’t think this guy is Ben. Did he sound like this the other day?”
“No, the guy the other day didn’t have any accent. This guy sounds like a Rooski. It sure looks like him though.”
Bill then began following my dialogue.
“Um, I’ll need to see your driver’s licenses before we can start closing out these accounts. Is Kurt anywhere around? Both of your names are on these accounts.”
‘Ben’ became agitated, “Just do as I SAY, dammit! You don’t need no ID, YOU KNOW WHO I AM!”
I told Bill to avoid eye contact, which he was struggling to do. He said, calmly, “I’m sorry, but, if I don’t have the proper ID, I won’t be allowed to access the accounts and I SURELY won’t be able to transfer any funds to that numbered account you asked me about.”
TJ and Brock had also been listening in and were now burning up the roads heading here.
Meanwhile, Ben was glaring at Diane then turned to Bill, “WHAT numbered account? I have the numbers right here!” He was pointing at his head. “Just get the money ready to transfer and I’LL give you the account information and the phone number to call! DO IT NOW!”
Bill must have made eye contact with whom I figured must be Viktor. I lost him and he began mindlessly gathering the paperwork that was needed to consolidate or liquidate all of the shell companies that held the stolen cash.
I materialized directly behind Ben (Viktor?) as ‘The Terminator’. I mentally picked him up and roared, “Turn my friend’s mind loose or DIE, asshole!”
“YOU, you are that ‘Jonah’! NOW I VILL KEEL YOU!” I felt him trying to get in my head. Unfortunately for Viktor, Greg or Bob surrounded me in the Protective Bubble and he shrieked in agony, having been forcibly ripped from my head.
“Aaaarggh! I vill KEEL you! NOBODY CAN RESIST ME.”
“Oh yeah?” Jeremy said calmly, while making his presence known, as himself. “You’re not so smug NOW are you?!”
Unbeknownst to me, this wasn’t Jeremy’s first encounter with this guy. Viktor was dumbstruck, “YOU? How are you here? The last time I see you, you ver cowering like scared kitty! Now I KEEL you too ... UNGHHH!” Viktor moaned as Jeremy (and Bob?) psychokinetically ‘bitch-slapped’ him. HARD ... REPEATEDLY.
Viktor was now screaming like a psychopath, realizing, perhaps for the first time, that he no longer held the upper hand over his adversary.
Jeremy added to Viktor’s rage with, “And now I’m telling YOU, SCUMBAG, if even ONE MORE American vessel of ANY KIND comes up hijacked or attacked, WE’LL be coming after YOU! I’ll sink EVERY ONE of Rafael’s boats and kill ALL of his men. Just like you did at Gitmo. DO YOU HEAR ME?”
Charlie POV: Having just renewed our bond with our neighbors, I had to figure a way to send them away without making it seem rude. There simply wasn’t time for a long drawn out explanation. The situation was very complex and even OUR girls and Bob were mostly in the dark about most of it. I flashed Mary my concerns and assurances of ‘full disclosure’, but that time was of the essence and our neighbors at this point didn’t have ‘a need to know’. Our neighbors had already figured out...
Bob POV: (Still) Ibera was hugging me. I was still trying to figure out just what she meant by, ‘I’d caused a paradox’. And just what did she mean that I wasn’t fucked if she and Zeus could help it? I looked in her eyes, “Is there some way I can make this right?” “Possibly ... but first ... we need to figure out which reality you need to be in to do it. The big problem is that there are certain ‘Rules’ that neither Zeus nor I can violate. One of them is that we CAN’T tell you what to do...
We’d conferred, mentally, and chose to enter right at the entrance to the 5th Dimension. It’s where all of the portals were. This was where we landed the first time we ‘Spirit Walked’. We felt this would make our friends aware that we weren’t in Kansas anymore! It had the desired effect. Our friends were awestruck. Gracie was the first to ask, “Where are we? What’s with all of these TV’s?” Ed was like a kid in the big city for the first time, he was wide-eyed and looking all around. I...
Luckily, with the rush hour traffic, our four suspects couldn’t drive very fast, so flying without our helmets wasn’t too big a deal. We reported to Brock and TJ that they were driving a 1984 Buick Grand National. We gave them the Wisconsin license plate number, which TJ was going to run immediately. We were soon told that the car HADN’T been reported stolen and was registered to one Kurt Alsip, of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. They were headed west on IL SR 64. Just past Sycamore Speedway, they...
Charlie’s POV: (Cont.) With Rex, Jeremy and Willie all being called away to Chicago, and CJ seemingly trying to ‘help Willie’, I told the Family I needed to pay a quick visit to Zeus. I needed to see just how much and exactly what kind of ‘help’ Zeus had actually given my son. Since I’d only be gone from here for a few minutes, Mary was going to just tell everyone that I was going to my cabin for a bit. Bill, Sally, Emmy and their kids would be arriving shortly, so they needed to set...
Screwed if you Don’t Mid-August, 1985 He grinned, “Nice to finally meet you Charlie! I’ve heard SOOO much about you and your family.” “Are you ready for our showdown tomorrow, boy?...” “Just remember, ‘old man’, no dirty tricks. Have you done what I asked?” He looked at me warily, “I told you, I don’t have anyone under my control right now.” I looked over at Dad and he winked. I took that as a sign he was still okay. I did want to check something however, so I shook hands with Johnny....
[He was the one doing most of the peeking.] Dad asked Greg to employ his ‘bubble’ and he began. “Okay, first off, I AM NOT going to try and impersonate Charlie. I WOULD like Gracie and Ed to be an integral part of the plan however. Johnny is definitely panicking and left 10 messages on Joshua’s answering machine to contact him ASAP. “I’m pretty sure after talking to Johnny this afternoon that he really thinks I’m Jonah. He asked me point blank if I knew anyone named Charlie. I told him I...
[My son is going to kick your ass tonight by showing everyone HIS abilities are much better than YOURS.” “OH YEAH?” Sherman roared, “We’ll just SEE about that!”] “Yes WE will, Sherm. It just occurred to me, that I’m getting the short end of our bet. Let’s sweeten the pot, shall we? I’ll match whatever money you’ve got left that Butch gave you! I’m guessing that’s close to a million dollars or more. Are you willing to put that up?” He was speechless, “How did ... No way, what makes you...
Charlie POV: Okay, I know the girls are up to something. Just a little bit ago all four of them (Jamie, Mary, Sarah and Linda) were nursing the babies while sitting around in our state room. (Nothing unusual there.) The next thing I know Bob and I were nearly assaulted when the four of them suddenly developed a major case of the ‘hornies’. While no sane man would find anything wrong with that, after everything that happened the night before, I had to wonder what brought that...
Where There’s a Will There’s a Way! July, 1985 [I thought Greg was going to shit a brick when he saw me stuffing my face in epicurean ecstasy! “Un-freaking-believable! Charlie, you’re INCORRIGIBLE!”] It only got worse, when Mike saw it and said, “Wow, that looks delicious! CJ, you the MAN. Can I get one of those?” Greg just rolled his eyes, “Ughhh. If ya can’t beat ‘em, may as well join him.” And he got one too. Our entire family group from last night sat down together for...
US MARSHALLS SERVICE SECRET DETENTION AREA, NW OF WASHINGTON D.C. Jeremy POV: We managed to get all the prisoners separated and into cells. We then decided to let them stew for a little while before Pops flashed that he wanted to bring in Franklin. He was planning on teleporting Franklin in so he wouldn’t know where he was being taken. He had Rex go into an empty cell and turn invisible, standing in the center of the cell. He was planning to pop in right behind him then both of them would...
Charlie POV: When we arrived back at home, we were totally disoriented as far as what time of day it was. When the whole episode with the assassins started it was around 4:00 pm on Friday. Looking outside, it was twilight and all the workers were gone from the back yard. It was very quiet. All of the babies were hungry and needed changing. We all pitched in taking care of the kids, even Sheila and Joni. Rex and Jeremy took orders for carryout chicken and took off to get dinner. The kiddos...
A CHAEMARIAN SPACESHIP NEAR GROMORIKIAN SPACE Charlie POV: “So Lars, how... exactly ... are we going to intercept our evil Gromorik space kidnappers?” I asked, “Ibera told me the story about how you ‘telekinetically’ or ‘psychokinetically’ pulled a Gromorik and a Greyzarian mothership towards a planet to stop some kind of a skirmish?” His eyes lit up in laughter, “WOW, I’d forgotten about that! Well, to be honest, I may have told a bit of a ‘fable’, embellishing what I actually did.” I...
We spent nearly 20 hours at Ibera’s. My old friend is now completely up to speed on how our Family became what it is and how we all developed our powers. First, how we developed them early on, then all the way to reacquiring them after CJ was born, then, to all the current iterations. He stopped us many times to relate how he’d been required to investigate different missions we’d been on. The CIA had been much more interested than I’d thought. Bill also made it clear that TJ and even Jim...
Charlie POV: When we left Bill and Bruce we decided to just pop to my house to talk since there wouldn’t be anyone there. Mary, Sarah and Jamie went back to the boat to be with the kids while Joni and Sheila came with us to be with Rex and Jeremy. TJ was going into more detail about what was going on at CIA headquarters. Most everything was about what we’d already gone over with Bill and Bruce. TJ said, “I don’t know if you’re aware, but Franklin is just the interim Executive Director. He...
[“Do you trust him to keep our secret?” “I’d like to think so, ... but,... “] Joshua took a deep breath before looking each of us in the eye. “Let me ask each of you a question. I want you to think about it carefully. Your answer will be my answer as to whether or not I breathe a word of this to my friend Johnny. “Would any or all of you be willing to dedicate one year to a project that my friend Johnny and I might want to restart? And what if I could virtually guarantee that each of you...
[“I laid low, just raising you kids after that until TJ called me in late 1972.”] “What happened then?” Bob asked. “We put together a plan of how Jim and TJ could use my abilities without putting any of us in danger!” Dad smiled brilliantly. “So, you’re not trying to talk us out of our plan with Tom? It sure sounded like you were trying to scare us out of the idea.” I exclaimed. “Scare you? Yes, and no. Enlighten you? Definitely.” “So what’s the plan?” Bob asked excitedly. “Hold your...
Charlie POV: The talk and subsequent agreement for us to help ‘sexually educate’ Matt and Ralph’s kids led to many discussions. The idea of teaching such nubile, young cuties about loving and sex while arousing on one hand, left us also questioning whether we could be sure just how it would affect them. We DID decide that before we indulged their desires, they were going to get a discussion to let them talk through the possible complications. Those ideas led to the adults of both families...
Charlie POV: Charlene, Linda and I were just having breakfast when Willie ‘summoned me’. We had planned on going out to the new property to await the guys delivering our new trailers. Willie said he urgently needed me to undo a spell that Chen had put on the guy in charge of that group ‘ETCETERA’. Willie assured me that this would be a quick ‘Cum and Go’, so I told Linda and Charlene to head out there and I would just meet them on-site. I popped out there, invisible of course, and Willie...
"You said the carpeting and window treatments are included in the purchase price?" Patricia asked. "Exactly. You can change those after you move in, with the Homeowner's Association approval," Bob answered, "but, essentially, the interior of each home can be decorated according to individual tastes." Bob didn't like to dwell on Association rules, they brought death to a sale. "The builder will let you select options. If you'll look through your folder, you'll see several attractive...

Hearing my best friend Fariz's voice I halted in my stride, so he could catch up and we could go together to school, which was still at least another kilometer away. As he caught up with me he said: "Did you hear about Rino?" Rino was another friend of us; he caught MORFS a week earlier. I shook my head, "No what happened?" "He was taken away by some...
We’d just given our new friends a glimmer of hope ... I just hoped we could pull it off without getting any of us killed. We needed to take Matt with us which was part of the problem. Somehow we needed to get the pirates away from the dock area long enough for Matt to get away. I asked Rex to come up with a plan. He smiled, then had Bob ‘call up’ the visual of the island, in current time. “Okay”, he smirked at Bob, “Thanks to Bob, what I first was certain was too much gear, turns out to be...

Upside Down III – The Best Laid Plans … Note : This story is completely fictional! “I could fuck you all night.” Trisha said as she knelt up and squeezed Rachel’s smallish breasts tenderly. Her sister tilted her head mischievously and responded in perfect time. “What, you got somewhere to go?” Indeed she didn’t.

IncestThe Best Laid Plans I am sitting alone on a quiet Friday evening watching some stupid TV show about bears eating a microwave dinner. I wasn't really in the mood to do anything after just breaking up with my girlfriend Lisa the day before. Despite the show, all I could think about was the conversation we'd had as it played back over and over again in my head. -- I was coming back from a business trip to China where I'd successfully made my company's first overseas sale.

Larry and I headed to his office, relieved to see Al in a much better mood. As we pulled out Jack’s foundation plan and started thinking about how we wanted to lay out the atrium, a thought occurred to us. We may have been a bit overzealous in our time estimate. The first thing we realized was, that extending the oddly dimensioned column lines out to the atrium, would mean that all the windows would be different sizes and would look very strange. Larry suggested that we use standard...

What’s wrong?”Anthea looked up at her mum as she sat down at the dining table. “Nothing is wrong,” Anthea responded watching as her mum hurriedly dried her hands with a tea towel.“Is the baby okay? Are you okay? Is Jack okay?” she asked as her husband came into the room and pulled up a seat at the table.“We’re all fine Mum,” she responded exasperated with her mum’s anxiety. “I have something to tell you.”“Sit down Helen,” her dad snapped. “Give the lass a chance to speak.”Anthea...

Ygraine and Gorlois had three daughters: Elaine, Morgause, and Morgan le Faye. During their time together, Ygraine became pregnant with the child who was to become King Arthur. Uther's men killed Gorlois that same night. This is my TG (of course) version of what...
Hi, readers, I’m back here after the overwhelming response to my first sex story published as “Brother’s Best friend”. This sex story is a continuation part of the previous sex story. I’m Rishi, 23yr old, brownish guy. I’m 168cm tall, mid figure guy. Whereas Sahil is 26 yr, old fair guy? He is 6 feet tall, hefty gym-toned guy, with an 8-inch thick cock and huge hanging balls. Let’s get started with the second erotic session which happened that day. After my erotic blowjob session to my...
Gay MaleThe the wind howled around the quayside as I stepped onto terra firma for the first time in weeks, the wind threw sharp shards of ice to sting our faces as we looked up at the sails as they were finally furled and stowed as our captain grinned at our discomfiture, "Au revoir!" he joked as if he knew we should soon be recalled. Those such as were left, and we were few enough, I shuddered. My best uniform packed securely in my Valise, awaited me, and just a few more duties before I...
Sasha Fedoseev pulled out his driveway and started down the road. Sasha was by most accounts a successful man. He had started a corporation in his early 20's and had guided its ascent. His company now had three subsidiary corporations. He employed over five hundred employees through his subsidiaries and the parent corporation he had founded 10 years earlier. The parent corporation had its offices in a building several miles from Sasha's home. It was there that his staff worked. He had...
Section Chief Rodgers POV: Dammit! What the hell just happened? That fucking Chen has put me into one hell of a trick bag. I had everything set up perfectly to slide into the Black-Ops Executive Directors job and that fucking Chen comes along. I don’t know how that weasel managed to get my spot, but he did and I’ve been sucking hind titty ever since. How the hell am I going to explain to the Director that Executive Director Chen just up and disappeared? Like he’s gonna believe ‘Jonah’ did...
[“I’ll have a long heart to heart talk with her, Linda. Maybe it’s good she’ll be here for a few extra days. Let’s get home and look at these pictures!”] We greeted the family when we returned home, then Linda and I promptly went to my office to start laying out pictures. I pulled out my pad of 18”x 30” lightly gridded graph paper and tore off a sheet for each of us. We each had a legal pad and began writing down all of the things Stan had ‘dreamed’ to us, that he wanted in his house. The...
[Could this night get any stranger?] Thankfully it didn’t, at least not right away. When our ‘gang’ re-entered the campgrounds, the campers that sat gathered around the bonfire seemed oblivious that anything out of the ordinary had happened earlier that night. But, after parking our bikes, as they watched all of our group excitedly sprinting over to the campfire they must have suspected something was up. They were all but dragging a giggling Sarah with them. Since everyone began hollering...
Why Does the Feces Always Collide with the Circular Air Mover? July, 1985 [“Charlie, Charlie, God, I hope you can hear me, this is Dad. Stan thought the Coast Guard was pulling us over for a routine check but it’s a bunch of pirates! You gotta help us!”] “Dad, I hear you, where are you?” “I’m not sure, we flew into Lynden Pindling International Airport in the Bahamas and took a limo to a port on the south side of the island. Stan had his hydrofoil there and we were going to his island to...
... Let the Good Times Roll! July, 1985 [A loud cheer went up from everyone in the room. I looked back at Adam and Lori, “DEAL.” Adam gave the order, “Crew, prepare to dock and disembark onto the island. It’s time to Paaaah-Tay!”] The Captain announced, just after we docked, “Don’t forget, the dress code here is ‘Au naturale’ All you need is sandals or deck shoes. No clothes allowed! Plush terri-cloth robes will be available if you get chilly. The temperature rarely dips below...
FUBAR’D? (Fully United by Always Repairing Disasters?) July, 1985 [“Oh my God, I think we’ve run aground!” Melody exclaimed.] Bob, Greg and I were looking at each other wondering what we could do. I heard the hydraulics of the boat launch being lowered and the three of us rushed down to talk to Captain Morgan. The deck was lowered but was at a weird angle because part of it was caught on the sandbar. Brian and his son were running around grabbing scuba gear, while Captain Morgan and Mike...
We spent the rest of the day frantically packing the things we would need for our trip. We grabbed the two backpacks that Greg and Linda had purchased last summer for their little camping excursion. One of the things we would need to find on the way was some climbing gear. Greg reminded us that the place where we shopped in Albuquerque also sold climbing gear and had a fake mountainside so people could practice. We helped Ed take his Sportster out of the trailer, where he had been storing...
[I’ve got a blindfold on and I think I’m on a boat somewhere. Can you hear me?...”] “Yes Sarah! I hear you. Are you alright?” “Yes, I’m scared! What do they want with me?” “I don’t know, sweetie, Dad is on the phone with the State Police. You remember Major Gregory, right?” “Yes. Is he going to help me?” “If he can, if not, he knows who CAN help. Listen, Sarah, I’m two hours from home, but we’re headed there as fast as we can. YOU’VE gotta stay calm, okay? Try and get them to take your...
[Greg stopped and paused. He turned around with a face full of tears, “Charlie and I were just trying to be nice...”] He sniffled, “I’m gonna be late...” He turned and slowly walked out the front door, closing it gently behind him. Everyone started looking at me, not knowing what to say. I held up my hand, firmly. “I’ve gotta talk to my friend.” Then quickly ran out and jumped in the passenger seat of his truck. He started the engine, “What are you doing, Amigo?” “I dunno, but I’m NOT...
Intermission, Prelude and Fugue July 4, 1985 [TJ smirked, “Well, Hells Bells, looks like Janet and I are gonna have to put in for a permanent transfer to the Chicago office! God knows the scenery is NOTHING like this in Pittsburgh!” Mary was smiling at us gleefully as we smiled back.] Dad asked what time it was. I said it was almost 3:30pm. He told us that the parents were all going to Lino’s Italian eatery in Rockford for dinner. It was right on State St., not far from Sinnissippi Park....
[Since Greg and I had slept in, we weren’t even tired ... yet.] We opted to take the Florida Turnpike, because, even though it was a toll road, it wasn’t like the asinine tollways in Illinois, where you have to stop every 10 miles and throw money into a tollbooth. This had the tickets, like Indiana and Ohio, where you pay when you get off. It also had fuel plazas so you didn’t have to get off to buy gas. It’s the most direct way to go and we didn’t have to go through any of the big cities....
[“Possibly. The Mobs lawyers already know way too much about what happened. We’ve got to clean up the WHOLE ‘pig sty’ first thing tomorrow, before it’s too late. Here’s the plan... “] Blake started, “I’ve got TJ, Janet and 3 of your new friends from the Jacksonville FBI office flying in later tonight. Everyone in on the bust of the Omaha FBI headquarters are meeting in a church parking lot a couple miles from the headquarters building, which is in downtown Omaha. I’m going to make sure...
Charlie POV: I was happy with the way the Directors were handling our encounter with the Russians. They never had any intentions of just destroying both submarines and possibly killing their crews. Also, Director Logan does desperately want to change the culture of the CIA from the way I viewed it after Dad told us about his experiences with it when we were just little kids. Neither Bob nor I remember anything before living here in Illinois. Our operation, ‘Let’s Goose Gorbachev’, went...
[Like who was going to sleep with whom tonight.] That discussion was fast, furious and fun. With 9 people, 5-women, 4-guys and 3 beds it was going to be interesting. Since Sarah, Linda and Jamie would only allow one particular cock in their pussies AND demanded ALL of their guy’s deposits, they assigned themselves to whatever bed their guys were in. TJ, Janet and Mary decided to play ‘musical beds’ then planned to ‘sleep’ together. Greg and I slept with Jamie and Sarah, who both insisted on...
All Good Things Come to an End. July, 1985 [By now we were all laughing. I wondered if I should get Emmy to join them. Nahh, poor Ray would probably have a coronary!] We were summoned to the bar/swing room for the initiation ceremony. Melody, Roberto and Adam (Captain Morgan) were in the DJ booth. Jessica, Tammy, Bobbi and Brandy were being fastened into special swings that looked different from the ones we used the other night. Underneath them were hydraulic benches that seemed much more...
Charlie POV: On Thursday, Bob, Linda and I went out to our new place to do a quick, preliminary layout of the 300’ x 400’ footprint of our new place. We needed to see where we might put the new RV trailers that were to be delivered on Saturday morning. We didn’t want them to be in the way of the construction crews. The first thing we saw was that if we centered the new place perfectly on the flat area within the copse of palm trees, the existing house was going to be mostly inside the...
[ Mary and Sarah found out my lips weren’t too sore to kiss them passionately, before the three of us fell fast asleep.] *** Mary and Sarah were the first ones up. As I cracked my eyes open, I saw them padding towards the kitchen. Two minutes later they were back, pulling my ass out of bed telling me the ‘days a wastin’. “What the heck time is it?” Mary replied, “It’s 6 o’clock, come on, we’re getting married today!” As much as I wanted to frown, all I could do was chuckle and pull them...
As I was fixing bacon, eggs and toast for everyone, things began settling down. The conversation centered around how much our lives were about to change with a little one on the way. While eating, we all retreated into our own thoughts. When we had finished eating, I suddenly felt a deep need to make love to Mary. I managed to catch Greg’s eye, and nodding, I gestured my intentions with my eyes. He understood immediately. I got up, and took Mary by the hand and led her to our bedroom. As we...
Half the Fun is Getting Started July 21-22, 1985 [We all fell asleep in what could best be described as a puppy pile!] *** We woke up to a grinning Jessica and Tammy. Tammy, having just noticed we were all nekkid, blushed profusely. She was looking anywhere and everywhere but at us. “Oh my gosh. Jessica didn’t know you’d all be in here. We were planning on surprising you by getting things cleaned up. I’m sooo embarrassed.” Greg stood up with his morning glory pointing the way. “Sorry to...
[I grinned, “Looks like I get a four sweetie treat tonight! Who wants on top?”] Jamie smirked, “If we take a shower and put in a fresh plug, would you pleasure our clitties with your tongue, while Mary rides you?” “Mmm. I’d love to. If you’re not flowing real heavy, you can wait till after I’m done to insert your Tampons.” Sarah giggled, “Yep, he’s our Hero all right! A braver man I’VE never seen.” Linda laughed, “He’s liable to look like Dracula when he’s done though.” I may have gone...
Charlie POV: When we returned things began happening quickly. Bob and I popped to Dad’s cabin and found our two pallets of cash just like we left them. We ‘relocated’ them to Dad’s garage before contemplating whether to bring the three girls’ bikes and our two ATVs. We decided to leave them in the cabin’s garage for now, so as not to unnecessarily clutter Dad’s. On Monday, Ed, Bill, Gracie, Rex and Jeremy all helped go through the rest of their condemned houses, recovering much more than...
[“I think I just killed a guy!... “] We were all stunned! “Where are you? What happened???” “I’m at the convenient store, just north of Route 38 on Randall, there was a robbery, I was just trying to stop them from escaping! I think I killed one of them!...” “We’re on our way. Don’t say ANYTHING to ANYBODY until we get there!” “I won’t, please hurry!” We jumped in the Chevy and were flaming up Randall as fast as our ‘Queen Mary’ would go. It only took a couple minutes and there were...
Greg was pleased that the new trailer was pulling so well. His new truck had a very powerful diesel engine instead of the big gas engine his other truck had. He felt the dual rear wheels also made it much more stable than a standard four wheeled truck would have. Jaimie giggled, “It’s more manly looking too!” Greg just grinned, “Yep, a real ‘Cowboy Cadillac’!” Since we were told of a massive amount of road construction in St Louis, we opted to go the northern route which would take us west...
[We were just going in the house when Sarah flashed, “Charlie, I’m at the hospital! I think we may have a very serious problem...”] “Are you okay” “Yes, I’m fine, but you better circle the wagons! There’s this Native American doctor who is certain that you and/or Linda have ancient healing powers. AND he and his colleagues know you are friends of Greg Sanders!” “How do they know our names? Linda and I never...” Aw SHIT. We’d told the two victims we were friends of Greg’s. “Charlie, they...
We Interrupt this Vacation... July, 1985 [There was a hastily written note pinned to Greg’s shirt that read: “They’ll wake up in a few weeks. Thank Greg for me for teaching me all about you guys! I’ll have to see that Joshua guy to see what else I can learn! HAhahaha!”] I put my face right up to Greg’s and his pupils were like two piss-holes in the snow. I tried pushing him, as forcefully as I could, to open his mind to me ... NOTHING. Not even a blink and certainly no mental response. I...
