Charlie POV:
Summer had snuck up on us, so Greg and I decided it was time to get the pool ready.
Our first major get together with Jeremy and his gang and all of our neighbors was set for this Saturday. With the highs forecast to be in the 80s, our girls thought it would be great to make use of the pool. I asked whether or not we were going to have all of the kids or if we’d be better off shipping them off to ‘grandma’s house’.
Trust me, none of our parents would consider that a burden in any way. I know I’ve told you about Sally’s mom who absolutely loves our Saturday get-togethers so she gets to have a night with her granddaughter. Well, now she has two more little ones, not to mention Emmy’s mom, who lives near Glencoe, Illinois. I haven’t as yet met Emmy’s parents or her two brothers. That’s something that she wants to correct in the near future. Mary had suggested that we need to have a big party and invite ALL of the new parents/grandparents.
Jeremy and his bunch have suggested that their parents might be like ours as far as their relationship is concerned. They all currently live near Columbus, Ohio, so getting them here would need a bit of planning. Jerry and Rex assured us that they were working on it.
Greg and I had finished the yardwork and were working on removing the solar cover from the pool. We moved the reel that it was rolled up on and saw that the pool needed MAJOR work. Winter had left the pool green and many leaves had found their way under the cover. After backwashing the filter and adding fresh DE (Diatomaceous Earth), we ‘shocked’ it with excessive chlorine and skimmed, then vacuumed all the stuff off of the bottom. By lunchtime, the pool was well on its way to being ready. We brought out the waterfall, which we had stored in the shed for the winter, and set it back up. We had just brought out all of the patio and deck furniture when it occurred to us that we were going to be short a few seats.
Greg and I fixed ourselves some sandwiches and iced tea and sat on the patio to eat lunch. We surveyed what furniture we had and discussed what we needed.
I asked, “Do you think we have room for another patio table and like, 10 more chairs?”
Greg looked around, “Yes, but it’s going to start getting a little crowded looking. We might have to think about adding onto to the patio. Do we need that many?”
“I think so, there’s the seven of us, our 5 neighbors and Jerry, Rex, Joni and Sheila. If Larry and Becky come over, that’s 18!”
“Wow! You’re right. And if we get all the parents over here, that’ll add another ... holy crap, that’s another 20 or more! I think we need to consider getting a couple of those 8-foot folding tables and 20 folding chairs ALONG WITH another patio table and chairs.”
“And we DEFINITELY need to add on to the patio. Maybe even the deck, too. Our 8 lounge chairs aren’t going to be nearly enough, either!” I said, shaking my head.
Mary and the girls came out carrying the babies. They went up on the covered deck and were relaxing and preparing to feed the kiddos. “When do you think we can go swimming?” Mary asked.
Greg grunted, but smiled, “By Friday afternoon. We had to shock it, so, it won’t be ready until then. Charlie and I were just thinking we need more patio furniture ... and ROOM to put it!”
Jamie giggled, “We knew you guys were stressing about that. Maybe we should have that ‘pow-wow’ you’ve been suggesting?”
I chuckled, “All we’re missing is Bob. Where is he?”
Linda grinned, “He’s helping our new ‘neighbors’ get moved into their new house. They had Allied Van Lines move everything, he’s just helping get things set up that the movers won’t do. Rex had to go into work today, so Jer-Bear needed the help.”
I flashed Bob, and he assured me he’d be good with whatever the rest of us decided on as far as our need for more room. He was also going to be ‘listening in’ as necessary.
I smiled and gestured theatrically, “Okay, NOW that I have your attention, ... it seems we’ve outgrown some of our current accommodations. I think we need to consider adding on to our patio and deck. I also feel we need to investigate adding on to our garage and driveway. I checked the setbacks and we should be able to add another 20 feet to the front of the garage, giving us room for 6 cars or 4 cars and all of the bikes. That includes the girls’ bikes up at the cabin. I also want to add another 14 feet to the north side of the driveway so that Greg’s truck won’t block any of the doors. There are some other things to consider as far as expansion, but I’d like to get everyone’s opinions.”
Jamie led off, “Greg and I are trading in my old Toyota this week. Would your garage expansion allow for two minivans to be parked in the same slot? I figure if we needed both, then it wouldn’t be like one would either be blocked in or be blocking in another car. We have decided that both would be ‘family’ vehicles and if we only needed one, we’d just use whichever one was the most convenient to get to.”
“Yes, since you’ve already agreed to a plan, we’d put them in the first slot and just wouldn’t park any bikes in front of them. Since you’ve brought it up, I think all of our vehicles should be ‘family’ vehicles.”
Mary groaned, “Yeah, NOW that we’ll have our bikes, you put your Mustang up for grabs! Aaargh!”
That garnered laughs from all the girls, but Greg huffed, “I don’t know about sharing my truck. It IS my baby.”
Jamie giggled, “I wouldn’t worry too much about that, Huggy Bear. For the same reason we aren’t crazy about getting a 15 passenger van, I don’t think any of us girls would be wanting to drive your Baby! Charlie’s Mustang is a whole ‘nother story! Hee-hee.”
Greg was grinning now, “Well ... I didn’t say I was TOTALLY opposed to the idea. I’ve never driven Charlie’s Mustang! Or is that OUR Mustang now?”
I smiled, “OURS, and if it gets smashed up, I can buy that Ferrari I’ve always wanted!”
Mary bristled, “Um, let’s get back on topic. I take it we’re in need of more patio furniture. The last time we were at Paul’s Pool Emporium, I noticed he had some really nice stuff. Perhaps we should borrow Bob’s Step-van and pay Paul a visit?”
Greg was nodding, “Sounds good, but I think Charlie, Linda and I should look at that topo we did and figure out what we need as far as a deck is concerned. It would be much easier if we had them build it and deliver it. We just need to figure out where we want it and how big.”
I was looking at the pool and trying to get an idea of what would work the best and be visually pleasing as well. Greg and I walked around behind the pool where I had an idea. “You know, if we added a free-standing deck on this side, we could take advantage of the drop off. I know we couldn’t attach it to the pool walkway, but we could get it close enough that it would appear as if it were. I wonder if we could somehow make an enclosed area underneath to store the excess patio furniture when we weren’t using it?”
Greg nodded, “I’ll bet we could get somebody to ‘shot-crete’ the ground. That would help prevent erosion AND give us a floor so stuff wouldn’t set on the dirt.”
“Shot-crete?”
Greg laughed, “Yeah, some call it ‘soil cement’. It’s basically a cheap layer of concrete mixed with dirt that gets blown on the ground on top of crushed gravel. You couldn’t drive a car on it, but it would hold up to foot traffic and even a riding mower. They’d do that after the posts had set and would help keep the posts from shifting. Some of these posts are going to be 7’ or more out of the ground. They’ll still need to be cross-braced, but the extra layer of concrete would certainly help.”
“Well, let me get busy and draw up a plan. What about adding on to the patio? Any thoughts on that?”
We walked back around to the patio and looked at that area. Greg paced off from the existing patio to the corner of the fence, then up to close to where we were going to build the deck.
“If we added another 15’ in width and say 15’ the entire width toward the pool, that would more than double our existing patio.” Greg said thoughtfully, “Between that and the new deck, we could easily have room for 40 or more people. I think we need to go see Paul!”
“Hey guys, it’s Jeremy. Bob just said you were going to buy a whole bunch of patio furniture. Let me see your current table and chairs.”
I looked at our table and chairs. Jeremy chuckled, “You aren’t going to believe it! Just before we left WE bought the exact same set that YOU have! We even have 4 extra chairs and 8 lounges! Please let us bring our stuff over? We probably won’t use it since we’ll be at your place most of the time. We were just going to store it all in the garage.” He chuckled again, “you’d be doing us a favor by opening up a spot in our garage!”
“Well, thank you Jer! I can’t believe you have the same pattern we do! I just know we were going to have to try and find something that just wouldn’t clash with what we have. Now it’s all going to match. If you ever need some patio furniture, we’ll be glad to get you whatever you want! Oh, tell Bob we won’t be needing his Van.”
I knew Bob was listening and his laughter confirmed it. Our revised ‘broadcast mode’ now included our 4 new friends.
Greg clopped my shoulder, “Go and get your plan drawn up. I’ll call Paul and let him know we’re coming! Oh, yeah, and I call dibs on driving ‘OUR’ Mustang!”
AT RAFAEL’S COMPOUND ON A BIG ISLAND JUST NORTH OF HAITI
Viktor POV:
Akbar was about to meet my main man, Rafael. I REALLY hoped Raffi had some virgins on hand or this could get ugly. As we dropped our invisibility, Raffi was already greeting us. “Viktor, Ohh, I didn’t know you were bringing a guest. Whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?”
“Drop the platitudes, Raffi. This is Akbar. He is going to be helping me put an end to all this craziness with the Americans. What’s the status right now? Especially with the slaves. My friend and I are in dire need of some fresh, virginal poon-tang!”
“I am down to 40 boats and just under 1000 men, between here, Nicaragua and my two depot’s. I could not transport all of them even with my 20 planes. I DO have some good news. My Cuban friend has ‘acquired’ an old Russian submarine! We have 25 torpedoes that I’ve been assured are fully functional. I also have a full crew to operate it. I am making plans to sink a couple Coast Guard vessels to send a message that I am NOT to be harassed in the future!”
“NO. DO NOT do anything like that until I tell you! I can’t explain it right now, but if you attack ANY American vessels until Akbar and I take care of the REAL problems, it could result in the death of you and ALL OF YOUR MEN. Once our mission has been completed, then I may go with you on the attack! Do you understand me?”
Rafael furled his brow, “Si, Senor Viktor. But just WHO could do such a thing to my entire army? We are on a sovereign island, surely the Americans could not send in their Marines!? That would be an act of war!”
I just shook my head, “Trust me Raffi, it WOULDN’T be the U.S. Marines! The Marines would be scared to death of the two wizards that would do this. That is why Akbar and I must devise and execute a plan to kill these two wizards. Until we do, you must NOT aggravate the U.S. Coast Guard in any way. You can capture boats that DO NOT sail under the U.S. flag, but NO American vessels. GOT IT?”
“Si! If you are that scared of them, I would be a fool not to be scared myself.”
I blustered, “I am NOT scared, Raffi. What is it they say? Better to be timid like kitty, than DEAD like mouse? We veel only get one chance to kill them and if we fail ... let’s just say, you’ll be on your own. Now, how about you set us up with some virgins?”
“You KNOW I don’t have any here at the moment, they’re all in our Nicaraguan compound! There must be 50 there awaiting transport. Maybe you should go and visit them?”
I DID know Raffi was telling the truth. I told Akbar we should go, then finalize our plans to rid ourselves of Jonah and Jeremy.
The pervy, sum-bitches dick was already hard!
Charlie POV:
It took a few hours, but, Linda and I finally got our plans together. It seemed like we kept getting better and better ideas.
Armed with our plans, Greg and I set off to see Paul. Unlike previous trips, this time the girls were content to let Greg and I go alone.
They had NO IDEA of how much trouble Greg and I were about to get ourselves into!
We hadn’t but just unrolled the plans when Paul started grinning. “Wow, guys, you must be planning on entertaining a whole lot of guests!? Are you sure your pool is going to be big enough?”
Greg chuckled, shaking his head, “Actually, that’s a good question. I just wish we had more of those benches so everyone could sit all the way around.”
Paul smiled, “We do have ‘add-on’ benches that would easily slip into holes that are currently covered with plugs. They are in that 4” ledge/walk that goes all the way around your pool.” (Our pool has an 8’ deep diving area in the center 12’ across the entire width. The pool also had a ledge that’s only 4½’ below the surface so people who couldn’t swim could walk all the way around.) “The benches slip into those holes and are supported by that walkway. We can make the bench go all the way around if you’d like. Except by the molded steps.”
“Cool! Yes, we’ll do that.” I told him.
Then he asked, “Are there any other ‘pool’ toys you might like? A volleyball setup perhaps?”
Greg sighed, “That would be great, except with the deep part, nobody can stand anywhere near the net. Sometimes I wish the pool DIDN’T have that diving area.”
Paul’s grin got wider, “We can fix that too. You’re not the first ones to say that. We had some ‘drop-in’ inserts made that have hard rubber ‘feet’ that nestle onto the slope so that the middle would only be 5½’ deep! It comes in 3 sections, so each section only weighs about 100 Lbs. The two of you could put them in easy enough. I WOULD suggest removing the diving board when you put these in, that way nobody gets hurt trying to dive into 5½’ deep water. You only have to remove those 4 large bolts.”
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
"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...
For convenience and reader ease, all conversations are translated in English. Ciwalen, Jawa, Indonesia "Hey Cary, wait up!" 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...
[CJ was now babbling his little head off as we loaded Linda into Mary’s Caravan to head to the hospital!] Luckily, this was not totally unexpected. Dr Adrianne Meyers, the girls’ OB/GYN, had warned us during Linda’s last checkup, that it was not uncommon for twins to be born two to five weeks early. That being said however, it didn’t stop Bob and I from hitting all the panic buttons. Luckily the girls were taking it in stride. Sarah, Jamie and Greg said they would stay behind and clean up...
William Monte POV: When we got back to Bruce’s house, we concentrated on what we needed to do next. We regretted having misled Director Logan, so we needed to come up with a way to fix that situation. Joni asked, “I think we need to invite him here and just ‘come clean’ with what we did and WHY. We’ll say we felt it was better to beg forgiveness than ask permission?” Bruce shrugged, “I don’t know.” Then his eyes widened, “Buttt ... Monte! Does your office have a drop ceiling like mine...
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...
Bob POV: Not knowing just how abruptly we might stop, we chose the forward facing seats that had foot-braces for the adults and special harness-like seatbelts for the kids. I was fairly sure it wouldn’t be too bad, but chose caution, just in case. I had CJ sitting next to me then Sissy and Mary. Behind us were Ed, Crystal, Gracie, Tyler and Jamie. Like I warned everyone that wasn’t here the first time, once we got started we wouldn’t be able to hear or even ‘feel’ those right next to...
Charlie POV: Confused Confucius say,” Never underestimate the power of a beautiful, loving, TRUE soulmate to chase the demons away.” And don’t forget to love and thank her every minute of every day when she, or THEY do, either. My wives were still nestled around me, each with a leg and arm draped over me. I kissed both of them tenderly. Soon I had four loving eyes gazing into mine. The bliss I felt all night returned in an instant and I flashed that I loved them both for saving me last...
Bob POV: “What the fuck just happened, Charlie? Dad didn’t just go off script he left the freaking building ... Literally!” I’m just standing here looking at my brother, who still has his mouth open, like we have for the last five minutes. Dad had this magnificent plan then for some unknown damn reason went completely rogue on us! Charlie is STILL shaking his head, “Bob, do you even KNOW who that other guy was who came up there right at the end?” “Hell no! What does Dad think he’s doing...
We decided to start at the present, since only a few minutes had passed since we ALMOST managed to drown Akbar and Viktor. Rex was eager to see Viktor’s reaction. Viktor was still dripping on the floor and apparently having a mental conversation with someone. Rex asked me to ‘back it up’ until Viktor ‘re-materialized’. We all laughed when Viktor and Akbar appeared laying on the floor looking like two drowned rats. Rex asked, just to make sure, “They CAN’T hear us, right?” I laughed, NOPE....

There were 4 sweet giggling girls standing by the table when I showed up. Jamie ran into my arms, kissing me like crazy. “Wow! Not that I mind, but what caused that?” I chuckled. “That’s for letting my Greg spend some quality time with me later!” Giggle. “I just hope he gets some sleep! He flashed me just a few seconds ago!” “Well, you know, you could always come back with him when it’s his turn to drive? Any of you could if you wanted to.” “But we don’t always know exactly where the...
[I looked over to see Linda hovering 10’ above the pool. “Bob, are you doing that?” “NO, AREN’T YOU?!”] Linda started giggling, “This is fun! You guys need to try this. Ooops”... SPLASH as Linda suddenly fell in. She came up laughing. “I guess I lost focus!” We were all flabbergasted, “How the HELL did you do that?” “Easy. I just closed my eyes and imagined floating on air. Then I opened my eyes and just thought about where I wanted to go. I figured I better get over the deep part of...
[Mary giggled, “Who ever said you NEEDED one?”] Emmy gasped, “Ohhh no, NOBODY wants to see THIS ugly body nekkid. Ohhh no! One look and these guys won’t be able to get it up for a month.” She was pointing at me, Bob and Greg. I chuckled, “How much do you wanna bet? Hmmm? If I ‘get it up’ will you let me have my way with you?” She started chuckling and grinning, “How much would I have to PAY to get you to have your way with me?” She suddenly stopped grinning, “No guy has ever wanted to...
“What’s wrong? 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...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "The summer of 1890 was to be the start of my new life. At fifteen years of age, I was to be presented to society and I had expected that I would then be considered an adult. That, at long last, I would have a say in my own life, my own destiny. That was not to be, though. I was still just a doll to be dressed and used as decoration in the home of my powerful parents. I was made up and dressed and used to impress the visitors who came...
Uther By Ellie Dauber (c) 2006 Introduction According to the legends of King Arthur, Merlin changed Uther Pendragon into a double for Duke Gorlois, so he could spend the night with Ygraine, the Duke's wife. 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...
The 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...
It was the year 2001. 15-year-old Newt looked at himself in the mirror. He could see some of his mother Laverne’s African American features looking back, but also blue eyes and a lighter skin tone that must have come from his unknown father. He growled, angry. Why didn’t his mom ever tell him who his father was? Her insistence that she didn’t know didn’t make any sense! She said that Newt didn’t look like who she thought his father was, and she hadn’t been with any blue-eyed white boys. His...

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....
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...
[“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...
[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...
