The Catalyst RebornChapter 26 Searching for Enlightenment

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 said, “We are now in the 5th dimension. Those aren’t TV’s, they’re portals to every World, Universe and Reality in existence! They can ‘act’ like TV’s, in that you can look through them at whatever you want to see. To show you better, let’s look at what just happened to you...”
I said psychically and out loud, “Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, our Reality, one hour in the past.”
Suddenly we were all in the middle of the huge area and the portal in front of us illuminated green. I further defined, “Charlie Swenson’s house.”
There were gasps as they saw themselves coming over to the house, just like it had happened.
Emmy was amazed, “Al and Betty Gorand’s house, present time, please?”
I smiled, because this was her parent’s place in Glencoe, IL.
I told her to also ‘think’ it. When she did, she gasped, “Wow! That’s it!” “How do we zoom in, so we can see inside?” She asked.
I told her that everything here responded to psychic commands, so all she had to do was ‘think’ of what she wanted to see.
We saw her parents doting over her little Jennifer. Her two brothers and their wives were over and the conversation was interesting. Drew, Emmy’s older brother asked, “Ma, don’t you think Sis was a little, I don’t know ... overly desperate, having a baby with a married guy?”
Mrs Gorand sighed, “Well, it’s all your fault! If you and Jay hadn’t terrorized every boy in school, she just might have fallen in love and found a nice boy to marry.”
Jay shook his head, “I don’t know. Those guys at school just wanted to get laid. They would have broken Sis’s heart. Bill at least really loves her. I kinda like the guy. Sis sure seems happy with everything. She says her neighbors are really cool too! One of them has two wives and there’s seven of them all living together ... do you think they’re all like in one of those weird polyamorous relationships Em always talks about?”
Jays wife, Rene, poked him in the ribs, “If you had a hair on your ass, you’d just ask her. You know damn good and well, if we could find the right people, we’d at least check something like that out!”
Emmy squealed, “Oh my God! I’d have never guessed! This is so cool, in a pervy, peeping-tom sort of way. They can’t hear us, right?”
“No, they have no idea we’re listening in.” I explained.
Bill chuckled, “This is a nice trick, guys, but, how does this fit in with what’s been going on with CJ?”
Bob clopped his shoulder, “We need you to believe what you’re about to see. As you just saw, this isn’t some cute parlor trick. You DO believe what you just saw, don’t you?”
Bill thought for a second. “Just the fact that one second we were in your backyard, then the next we’re here, I’d be a fool to doubt you. Emmy seems convinced, that’s for sure.”
Sally smirked, “My hubby is the original ‘Doubting Thomas’! When are we going to meet Bob’s lady friend?”
Bob grinned, “Take the hand of the one who brought you here ... you DON’T want to get left behind!”
Sheila and Rex chuckled, “NO ... you don’t. You’ll understand in just a bit.”
Bob had already alerted Ibera of our impending visit and she was thrilled to meet some more new friends. Ed was chuckling when Ibera welcomed Bob in her usual, sexy way.
Our friends were now even more curious as to where we were. The portals were no longer visible and we were in Ibera’s ‘personal area’ that resembled the inside of a house. Bill was counting the seats around the table and was amazed there were exactly enough for all of us.
Greg laid out the pizzas and we sat down to have dinner. Ibera was enchanted to taste yet another new ‘delicacy’ as she called our pizzas. Bob asked if she could show our friends the vision that Zeus showed us that explained everything that Bob had done.
She nodded, “Sure, if you really want to see it again ... I know how much you all suffered. I hate to see my Bobby crying...”
Bill was wide-eyed, “What happened that caused Bob to cry?”
Ibera sighed, sadly, “He watched helplessly as Charlie and Greg were both shot to death! He spent close to 6 of your months here, desperately trying to undo what had been done.”
Our 5 friends were speechless. Sally asked, “But ... Charlie and Greg are here now? Maybe you should show us. Did Bob like, go back in Time? How is that possible!?”
Ibera now understood Bob’s request and the ‘show’ started. Bob guided the sequence of events and had it start with Viktor’s appearance in Bills office, impersonating the bank robber. Bill was now fully captivated, as he’d never said anything to either Sally or Emmy. Bob paused it whenever anyone had a question.
He had to pause it a lot.
After nearly 4 hours, we were almost up to our ‘reunification’ of Bob-1 and Bob-2. The ‘split-screen’ showing both realities simultaneously was very effective in getting them to understand about the two ‘Realities’ that were in play. We hadn’t gone into any of the most current details of our case with the Co-op, Rafael or the crooked Federal Agents yet. Our friends were now totally up to speed about the three evil Catalysts and how they all met their demise!
We wanted to give our friends a chance to let everything they’d just seen sink in.
Now, they also had a basic understanding about how Time and Dimension Travel worked. They at least partly understood what we meant by ‘so much had happened that they didn’t know about’.
They also had a healthy respect and admiration for how Ibera had been Bob’s helper and confidant during his time of direst need.
Jamie and Sheila had taken Emmy under their wing and were explaining to her some of the things that were possible with their future business they planned on starting together.
Ed’s mind had been completely blown and he was taking deep breaths to try and lower his heartrate. Mary was seated next to him, trying to answer the myriad of questions he had.
Jeremy and I were doing the same with Bill, Sally and Gracie.
Bill was no longer skeptical. There had been several news reports that they’d all seen that now fit much better into what they’d just guessed about, previously. They realized that, previously, they hadn’t had a clue!
Bill asked, “So, what’s the deal with that Rafael douche bag? Now that his boss, Viktor, is history, are you guys still planning on doing anything to him?”
I nodded slowly, “We’ve decided that we have to. There’s still more going on that you haven’t seen yet. Do you guys really want to see it all? It’s going to take at least as long to show you everything as what you’ve seen so far. We’re kind of getting sidetracked from what we were planning on doing tonight ... I know we were all hoping to have some ‘fun’ together.”
Ed was grinning and shaking his head. “This has been the most exciting and enlightening night of my life! At the risk of Gracie wondering if I’m losing my ‘horn dog’ status, I’d like to see anything you feel safe showing us. I’m not ready to crawl out of this ‘Rabbit Hole’ just yet.”
Sally hugged me, “Charlie, as much as I missed having you making love to me, let’s face it ... we can do THAT anytime. This is like the opportunity of a lifetime. Unless you could bring us here again?”
“Yes, we can bring you all back here, anytime. Now that you’ve all been here and understand, it won’t be as strange the next time.”
Emmy tittered, “It IS probably getting late, back at home. Maybe we should get back before we all get too tired.”
Sheila giggled, “Actually, Em, when we get back to Charlie’s patio, you’ll find we’ve only been gone a few seconds! If you’re getting tired, we should take a nap while we’re still here. It’s a double edged sword, though. If we sleep too long, when we get back, you won’t be tired enough to sleep tonight!”
Again, the open mouths showed that they were all just beginning to understand what was happening.
Ed said, “That’s called time dilation, isn’t it? Wow. I’ve often wondered about things like this, but, to be actually living it is unreal! Since we can come back, anytime, I think we should go back to Charlie’s place and have some fun in the pool. Maybe we could like come back here every Saturday just like we did tonight. Would that be okay?”
Greg smiled at him, “I like the way you think, my friend! Maybe next week we can go visit the ‘Island’ that Bob found for me. You’d get a chance to visit another planet in a totally different galaxy!”
The five of them all looked at each other incredulously. Bill chuckled, “I think my little buddy, Ed, isn’t going to get much sleep between now and then. Ed is so much into Science Fiction that I just know he’s gonna to be going crazy until then! And to think ... it won’t be fiction!”
I saw Gracie looking at her watch. I asked, “What time do you have, Grace?”
“Well, according to my watch, it’s 9:35pm. We’ve been here for almost 6 hours. I think it was like 3:45pm when we left.”
I felt this would be an interesting experiment. Both for me and our friends.
Bob was grinning, “Be prepared to be shocked, Gracie. You’re going to find that somehow or another, your watch will reset itself to the correct time when we get home. Don’t ask me how, just, keep looking at it.”
We all made sure we had our friends, then popped back home.
We found ourselves on the patio, in roughly the same places we were in when we left. Gracie’s mouth fell open, “Wow! It says it’s 3:46pm! Holy moly ... we’ve still got the whole night ahead of us!”
Ed was looking all around, “Yeah, I mean, it’s still light out! This is wild...”
Ed was deep in thought, when a melancholy look came over his face.
I hugged my friend. “What’s up, Buddy?”
“Oh, nothing really ... I guess now I’m really jealous of you guys. I was given a glimpse of something that I’ll never really be able to pursue. Bill was right. The Sci-Fi part of my brain is going crazy right now. I wish there was some way I could do some of this on my own. There’s so many new possibilities ... I just know when I go with Greg, I’m going to be holding him back. I mean, when we go to this island, I think we’re going to need to fly to really check out our surroundings. It’s not like anyone has cut any paths or roads or anything. We’ll definitely have to take some machetes with us.”
Bill chuckled, “I KNEW this was going to happen! I TOO see many possibilities of how it would help if I had powers like you guys do. I also recognize how you felt that if I HAD powers like you have, it would be very tempting to take unfair advantage of them. It would be easy to become... ‘less than honest’ about things, shall I say?”
I felt the time had come for me to make a decision.
Giving Ed powers had always been one of my plans. He’d had powers before and was always ready and willing to help us if we called on him. For him to dimension travel on his own, however, would require me to give him a large package. That would also be easy to include everything he would need to be Greg’s ‘right hand man’. One thing Zeus had told me in private, was that I could separate ‘Time Travel’ and ‘Dimension Travel’. For Ed, I would not need to give him Time Travel. That would prevent him from screwing up and accidentally sending himself into an alternate reality. Gracie would never forgive me if he did that. With Dimension Travel, he could still ‘see’ the past and future, he just couldn’t DO anything about it.
I mentally asked Jeremy to do his ‘good aura/bad aura’ thing on all of our friends. I felt him snickering, then I used his eyes, just like that night we ‘saw’ Viktor and Akbar.
I wasn’t too surprised with the results.
Emmy and Sally were almost blindingly white. Ed was next. Surprisingly, Bill was only slightly less brilliant than Ed. Gracie was more yellow, but, Jeremy said, that was still brighter than Sheila was. Sheila IS a pistol!
Mary had been in my head and flashed, “I know you have 4 packages left, Charlie. Why don’t you give a big one to Ed, a small one to Bill and I’ll give the ladies a couple powers myself. Like you, I can give individual powers out. Unlike you, one of them can be Dimension Travel. We can make it so nobody gets accidentally left behind when we go see Ibera.”
I was confused, “But, I only have two packages left!?”
She giggled, “When Ibera made Bob her Catalyst, you got Bob’s gift back. When Hera made me HER Catalyst, you got mine back, too! So, now you have 4. I know you want to give one to Jessica and Mike, so, you’ll still be able to! Personally, I’d give it to Mike, then give Jessica a bunch of individual abilities. I’m going to give some to Melody, too.”
I decided to keep quiet for right now. I wanted to have time to talk to each recipient individually to explain what they were getting. Especially since their abilities would all be somewhat different.
Ed was still reticent until I smiled at him. “Ed ... I’m going to give both you and Bill a special ‘gift’. I want to wait until I can be alone with each of you. It’s a little personal and I want to be able to work with each of you afterwards. Will you guys be okay with that?”
Ed was nearly jumping for joy, but Bill seemed pensive. I decided to address Ed first.
“Ed, I’m going to give you yours just before we go to visit Greg’s Island for the first time. Bob needs to take us there, first, and I want to go the first time so when my friend starts telling me about it, I’ll have a frame of reference. Bill, I sense that you’re concerned about something. Let me assure you. We’ll do this together so we can ‘tailor’ your abilities so as not to lead you into temptation. One thing you both need to be aware of ... well, there’s actually two things. First, with my new powers, I’ll get twigged every time you use your powers. In time, I’ll be able to dial it back, but, it’s mainly so I can help you if you run into problems. Second, IF I feel you’re abusing your powers, I can and will take them back. This was also a new thing for me. Before, if I gave somebody an ability, they would ALWAYS have it. That scared me into being very, very cautious. Now, at most you’ll only get one major screw-up. Then, I can take your powers away from you. Just know that if it comes to that, I’ll NEVER be able to give them back. This is a ‘one-time good deal’, so to speak.”
Ed was nodding excitedly and Bill nodded, then winked at me, knowingly.
Mary kissed Emmy, then Sally and Gracie. “And I’m going to give each of you some gifts, too. We’ll get together later this week and figure out which gifts would be best. It didn’t come out yet, but I’m a Catalyst now, too! Hera made me hers, just like Ibera made Bob hers. You must remember that everything we’ve talked about and everything you’ve seen tonight falls under your Confidentiality agreement you received when we gave you your enhanced telepathy. I’m sure I don’t have to explain why all of this needs to remain ‘Top Secret’!”
Gracie sighed, “No, Mary, we fully understand. Tonight has been one of the most amazing and enlightening experiences of my entire life. It’s like the secrets of the Universe were explained to us. Everything you’ve entrusted us with is ... unbelievable. It certainly explains why you’ve all been so quiet lately. If it wasn’t for everything that happened tonight, we’d all STILL be in the dark.”
Sally kissed me, then asked, “I get the distinct feeling you’ve still got some secrets. I won’t press you for more info, just, that ... PLEASE be careful? I have a feeling that what we don’t know yet, could get you hurt?”
Rex looked at me, then Bob.
I nodded, then he continued, “There is. It has to do with Viktor’s head honcho, Rafael. He has a compound down on a big island, just north of Haiti. He has over 900 mercenaries stationed there and we’re planning on putting an end to his empire. If things go as planned, it shouldn’t be too dangerous. It’s a complicated plan and Sheila and Linda are going with us to help release the Island’s Governor from Viktor’s evil brain washing. We NEED to do this, or Rafael will just keep plundering unsuspecting boaters, selling drugs and taking young girls hostage. He then sells them to human traffickers.”
Sheila added, “I’m still trying to get the guys to go to Rafael’s other compound in Nicaragua to free the nearly 100 girls he has stashed there. We just don’t know what to do with them, afterwards. We can’t just leave them, or they’ll be turned into sex slaves by the Nicaraguan street gangs.”
Emmy gasped, “Oh no! Oh GOD, you’ve GOT to do something to save them! Couldn’t you like, steal one of their boats and take them to Stan’s island?”
Rex huffed, “Well, I’m not sure what you mean about Stan’s Island. Is that near the island where he takes his clients who go on those cruises?”
I cut in, “Yes. Last summer, when we saved our parents from El Muerte and his pirates, we discovered 8 young, some very young, girls that he’d captured. Stan has a second, smaller island right next door to his ‘cruise’ island. He has a small compound where he often takes in orphan girls and boys. I thought of that, but, I don’t think he would have the facilities to take care of 100 girls! It looked to me like maybe 30 to 40 would be his total capacity. That’s why I didn’t bring that up as a possible solution. Not to mention, his island is over 1200 miles away from Rafael’s Nicaraguan Island fortress. Even with an experienced crew and a very fast boat, you’re talking about three full days or more to get there.”
Mary, who apparently hadn’t been aware of Sheila’s previous ‘discovery’ was also now incensed that we weren’t planning on doing anything about those girls.
She gasped, “Dammit Charlie! Call Stan and ask him. If there’s anything we can do, we HAVE to do it! Why don’t we just try teleporting the girls two at a time? There’s 11 of us now who can teleport, that’s 22 every trip! We could do it in like 20 minutes!”
Ed put his hand up, “I’d be willing to help, if teleporting was one of my gifts.” Bill, Sally, Emmy and Gracie all insisted they would be more than willing to help, too.
Rex and I needed to slow their roll. They didn’t have any idea just how dangerous this could get.
Jeremy was getting the ‘mother look’ from Sheila and said, “Okay! But, we have to think this through a little. Let’s go back to Ibera’s to stop the clock. We’ll ‘Spirit Walk’ from there and put together a plan ... if we can. Charlie, you need to contact Stan and see what he can do. Worst case scenario, we teleport them to Ibera’s until we can put together a better plan?”
Our 5 neighbors were all holding out their hands, waiting to go. I just shook my head, “So ... I take it we’re doing this?”
Bob rapped me on the back, “Bro, I have a feeling we’re going, ready or not! I’ll get Ibera up to speed. I’m sure she’ll be more than willing to help. I’ll see the rest of you there shortly?”
Sheila said, “I’ll go with Bob, that way I can get started on finding that island again. You’ve got enough hands to bring our new volunteers?”
“Yeah, we’ve got that covered.” I told her, when I suddenly thought of Dad. He answered immediately, “What’s up, Son?”
I chuckled, “Wellll ... how would you feel about helping us on a major rescue mission?”
“You mean, like right now?”
“Yeah, I wondered if you could spare a few minutes away from the kids?”
He chuckled, “Oh, I think so. You know, I’ve never actually seen you guys in operation before. This could be enlightening! Where do you want me to go?”
“Teleport to Ibera’s and we’ll meet you there. We’ve got to put together a plan and by doing it there we won’t waste any time.”
“Good thinking, Son. No problem, I’ll see you there.”
My next call was causing me some major consternations.
I was about to really put Stan on the spot. The worst thing was, I had a feeling he just wasn’t going to have the room for the number of girls we might be bringing. I took a deep breath, then dialed his number. The phone made several clicking sounds before a weird ring tone started. Stan answered, “Stan here, with whom am I speaking and how can I help you?”
“Hey Stan, it’s Charlie. Are you at home?”
He laughed, “No, I’m on my big island. You caught me on my SAT phone. What’s up? Are you guys planning on coming out to see us?”
I sighed, “Stan, I don’t know how to ask this ... but, I need your help...” I was hating having to ask for something like this.
“Charlie, just tell me what you need. I owe you so much, please, just tell me.”
“Ahhh well, okay. My friends and I need to find a place to take approximately 100 girls who’re being held captive. The same scumbag that tried to hijack your yacht a couple months ago is planning on selling them to the highest bidder. I know you probably don’t have the room, but, I don’t have any other options...”
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...
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...
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...
"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...

Heather Stevens' face was a portrait of ecstasy. Her eyes were closed. Her head hung back and her blonde hair, gathered in a ponytail, brushed the chenille bedspread beneath her as she moved. Her lips were parted slightly and through them her breathing was punctuated by quick gasps. Naked, she held her shoulders off the bed with her hands below her, her fingers clutching the bedspread, shoulders rolled back as though holding a pose in a gymnastic exercise. Her feet were on perched on either...
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...
[Sam gave her a hug, “Thanks kiddo. I may just have another surprise for everyone on Monday!” He grinned at Bob and I caught Bob winking back at him.] I was curious, but Bob quickly flashed, “Let it go...” and winked at me. Linda’s abilities were becoming so good, she caught it. She flashed back, “Let WHAT go, Baby?” Bob just grinned and zipped his lips. Sam chuckled, “Man, I wish I could do that communication thing.” Becky looked lost, “What’s that?” Jamie chuckled, “It’s just a little...
A few months into my school life here and it’s been brilliant. I’ve been laid by two of the steamiest guys High Hill has to offer, with none of the drawbacks. Lessons just seem pointless now I’m just chasing to see who’s best! We’re still in the depths of a miserable November as I’m writing now, so it’s been tricky trying to find guys who just want to keep warm. Everyone’s after a boring relationship now, can’t people just have fun nowadays? My Chemistry lesson (or should I say “Hour Eyeing...
We all have secrets…Elise Fairborough had many! Living at number twelve, Meriwether Way for the last six years she had discovered the very best way to press her husband’s shirts, the perfect stain remover for her white sheepskin rug even the best way to brew coffee in the morning to give it the strongest taste. Yet if one thing Elise had learned above all that she had perfected in the last six years, it was how to keep a secret behind closed doors. ‘Yeah of course just set up the meeting, I...
Velvet: While I was in LA, I decided to visit my first husband and our two twin daughters. They were both nearly 15 years old and it had been a while since I had seen them. I hadn’t been back to see my former gang members since I was using d**gs and about 5 years had passed. I had moved back to LA and was living on the streets, with my pimp, and hooking when I had decided to visit my ex back then. He had seen me and took me in to help, pressuring the man, who was selling me on the streets each...
“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...
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...
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...
[When I shook Brock’s hand it suddenly became clear. This was Sherman Leeman’s brother! Butch and Benjamin’s uncle.] I knew I had to tread cautiously, even though it didn’t appear that Brock’s powers were very strong at all. Instead of trying to hang onto his hand, I let go politely. I took a chance and flashed Mary asking her to stay in my head. It wasn’t necessary. She’d already picked up that vibe. I did keep my eyes locked on Brock, however. During my two second communication with...
Charlie POV: We met up for lunch at the restaurant in the yacht club. Everyone was there with the exception of Sarah and Willie, or Bill as I was planning on calling him. I had the feeling calling him ‘Willie’ made him uneasy. The kids seemed antsy from being cooped up in the hotel all night and this morning. When Annette suggested they go to the beach that seemed to brighten their spirits. The fact that they needed swimsuits did mute that somewhat. We discovered that there are no nude...
AN ALIEN SPACESHIP NEAR GREG’S ISLAND Bob POV: WHAT THE FUCK? One minute we’re all sitting around having a relaxing evening with our little friends, then suddenly, Mary, CJ and I are in some kind of a room in god-only-knows where! To make matters worse, it seems our telepathy and psychic powers have been nullified or taken away. Whoever our captors are they’re really pissing me off! Oh yeah, AND scaring us shitless. I’ve never felt more helpless in my whole life. I remember Ibera telling...
Bob POV: (Continued) I had to laugh when I saw the shrink-wrapped pallet sitting where our little table had been. Somebody had covered it with a large tarp to keep it as inconspicuous as possible. We’d only been here for a couple minutes when Linda, Mary, Jamie, Sarah, Joni and Sheila padded around the corner and enveloped us in hugs and passionate kisses. They were all beautiful and nekkid! And like any red-blooded males would do, we were all gawking and grinning ... and getting raging...
