Charlie POV:
Shortly after Dad left, Bob and I decided to see if we couldn’t help out some. I noticed TJ over by the main entrance talking to Jim Gregory. I was just heading over there when TJ flashed, “Charlie, you and Bob might want to make yourselves scarce for a little bit. Jim was just asking about you guys, wondering if you guys had anything to do with this. I told him I hadn’t seen you and weren’t sure where you were.”
“Why would you do that, TJ? I’ve worked with Jim Gregory a few times before and he’s actually a good friend.”
“I know that Charlie, but are you aware he doesn’t have telepathy anymore? That means he’s not bound by confidentiality. I tried communicating with him, telepathically, and he’s deaf as a post. With everything going on, I didn’t really want to get into all that right now. I hope you understand. Maybe when this is over we could all get together and you can decide whether you want to give him telepathy or not?”
That really made me ponder. I can’t believe how much time has gone by and I never got around to giving Jim or his son Tom their communication ability back.
“I’m not upset, TJ, well, at least not with you. I just never realized how much time has gone by since I’ve actually had a chance to talk to him or his son, Tom. You are right that there’s too much going on right now. I’ll get with Bob and make sure we stay out of sight.”
It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t trust Jim to keep Bob and me a secret, it’s just that I hate pushing a TS or temporary spell on someone just to be able to talk to them. I could tell that Jim was working the case and it wouldn’t be good if he suddenly forgot a whole bunch of stuff.
I flashed Mary, who was working closely with Judy Logan, Emmy, Jamie and Maggie. I told her my current dilemma and she agreed that it might be best if Bob and I went somewhere. Like maybe get some coffee or something to eat.
I was surprised that I still had a lot of energy.
Bob said he could use some coffee, so we went into the alcove, went invisible and popped just outside the Manor. We dropped our invisibility, headed inside and were seated near our usual area.
Since it was so late on Friday night or should I say Saturday morning, it felt strange not recognizing any of the waitress. It was probably all for the best what with the news of our house blowing up, we might have had to answer some very unanswerable questions. I was glad that Bob was in my head as his thoughts were much the same as mine.
“Geez Charlie, I know it’s only been a few weeks but it seems like an eternity since we’ve been in here. This place used to feel like home but somehow, it doesn’t anymore.”
I sighed, “I know what you mean, in some ways it’s a relief that none of the waitresses recognize us. What do you think we should do about our house?”
Bob was taking deep breaths and slowly shaking his head, “I don’t know. Even though we’re not in danger anymore, or at least I don’t feel like we are, I wonder if it might be time for us to get the heck out of ‘Dodge’ and start over again somewhere else?”
“Actually, we should probably get the heck out of here and go somewhere where nobody could possibly know us. I just remembered that everyone around here thinks we’re dead!”
Bob didn’t even have to answer as we both slowly got up, left a five-dollar tip, and eased out the door. I suggested maybe just going to Ibera’s but then I remembered that if we were there, Mary and the rest of the girls wouldn’t be able to get a hold of us. Dammit! I hadn’t even told Bob yet about my place in the 13th dimension! I know I was getting tired because I forgot that Bob was in my head.
“What place in the 13th dimension, Charlie?”
I chuckled whilst shaking my head slowly, disgusted with myself, “When you guys were on Greg’s planet a few things happened here and I went to visit Zeus. I wanted to talk to him privately and, to make a long story short, he helped me create a place of my very own, just like Ibera’s.”
Bob grinned, “Does it work just like Ibera’s?”
“Almost exactly except, I don’t have any portals to space travel through. Here, take my hand, I’ll let Mary know that’s where we’re going in case something comes up.”
Bob was laughing when he took my hand and was absolutely incredulous when we ended up in what he thought was our old, now nonexistent, living room.
“Holy SHIT, Charlie, this is amazing. It’s too bad we don’t have anything to drink?”
I grinned, “All you gotta do is ask and anything your heart desires will magically appear in your hand! Just like at Ibera’s.”
While he was sipping his top shelf bourbon, I was licking my lips after taking a swig of my perfectly mixed Bloody Mary. We were both looking around when Bob said, “You know Charlie, we could all just move in here? I bet it wouldn’t take you long to mentally engineer a couple more bedrooms.”
“No, it would only take a few seconds it’s just that ... I kinda promised Mary I’d keep this our little secret.”
I heard Mary in my head, “That’s okay Charlie, you can let Bob in on our little secret.”
“Thanks sweetheart, tonight, I just couldn’t think of any place else to go so Bob and I could talk.”
Bob looked at me funny, “Who were you talking to, Charlie?”
That’s when it dawned on me ... there’s no way Mary should’ve been able to hear me thinking! It was obvious that Bob didn’t hear even though we weren’t in ‘private’ mode. Just for grins, I decided to flash Linda and she also heard me loud and clear.
Okay, this is weird. I told Bob to try and communicate with Linda. After a few seconds he looked at me cross eyed and said, “You know our communication doesn’t work between different dimensions, Charlie!”
I grinned at him, “And yet, I was able to hear both Mary and Linda plain as day.”
Bob looked puzzled, “Well, what the crap?”
I tried communicating with Sarah and got nothing. That’s when it dawned on me that this might be one of those ‘consequences’ that Glenda had mentioned. After further attempts with everyone else, the only ones I could communicate with were Mary, Linda, Jessica, Jamie and Emmy. With Bob in my head, he could hear my side of the conversation but not the others.
That made sense, since we were both in the same dimension. I tried to explain that to Bob but he still didn’t understand until I explained everything that happened to the six of us.
He thought about everything for a minute then asked, “I wonder if you would be able to communicate with, say Linda, if you were here and she was on Greg’s island?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Who knows? Next time you go we’ll have to try it. Speaking of that, how soon before you’re going to want to go back?”
Again, Bob shrugged his shoulders, “I hadn’t really thought about it. I feel like we would be letting Greg down if we just never went back. Not to mention, Linda and I have kind of grown fond of our little friends. I know Ed definitely wants to go back and bring Gracie and Crystal with him.”
I had to admit I really did want to go there myself and bring Mary and our kids with us. I told Bob about how much Rex and big Willie also wanted to go. We both laughed when Bob mentioned that he had really wished Willie had been with them the first time, too!
We decided as soon as we figured out how we were going to put our lives back together we would have to take at least another three and half days and go.
God only knows how long that was going to take.
It wasn’t long before Mary flashed, “Hey Charlie, things here have really settled down and we’re all getting pretty tired. Why don’t you and Bob pop back to our parent’s place and meet us there?”
I almost suggested having them come here but I was also missing our kids. I told Bob what Mary said then we both popped back to Dad’s place.
Jeremy Cosgrove POV:
Monte and I had just teleported into the proximity of George Sachs after turning invisible.
The scene we encountered was definitely NOT what either of us anticipated!
Monte’s mentally begging me to pinch him should give you some idea.
We found Sachs bound in leather cuffs to the four corners of a king-size poster bed. He was being sexually ‘humiliated and tortured’ by four giggling, leather-clad dominatrices. His torso showed where he’d been struck with floggers. Not brutally, but more than playfully. He was sporting a steel cockring attached to a curved steel hook-looking thing with the other end stuffed up his ass! One of his tormentors was riding his face with her pussy, yelling, “Eat my nasty pussy you BAAAD little boy!”
Yeah ... both Monte and I just had to stand there watching this for a while.
“Jesus H Christ!” Monte flashed, “That almost looks like fun!”
“Well, I’ve never been into BDSM, b u t, he sure doesn’t seem to be struggling very hard to get away! And if I watch this much longer we may have to call OUR girls to take care of this bulge in my pants!”
I should have known when Sheila started giggling in my head, “Are THESE those four evil bitches he referred to back in the bar that kidnapped more kids?”
“I don’t know, we’ve been ... ummm, too preoccupied to find out yet? I don’t sense there being any kids around here, but, we’ll find out soon enough. I suppose Maggie is giving Monte an equally hard time?”
She giggled and I heard Monte quietly groan, answering THAT question, “You two might as well join us, just, use an alternate identity when we decide to appear. Monte and I are still invisible, but, with groans like that, they’re going to hear us soon enough!”
I flashed Monte, suggesting we appear using our alternate identities.
After the ration of shit that Charlie gave me when I used ‘Peewee Herman’, I decided that for tonight I’d try Spiderman. I wasn’t terribly surprised when Monte chose ‘The Thing’, a rocklike hulking creature. He flashed, “Hey, this is the best I could come up with on short notice. I know that Rex already claimed ‘The Hulk’.”
Things got a bit crazy before Sachs and his sexy dominatrices even noticed we were there. When Sheila appeared as The ‘Black Widow’ and Maggie appeared as ‘a female’ Captain Marvel, well, that did manage to get their attention!
One of Sachs’ girls let out a shriek, “Uhh, George baby, were you expecting a Halloween party tonight?”
I have to admit with the exception of Monte, we didn’t exactly look fearsome. Monte changed all that, however, when he let out a bellow that shook half the pictures on the wall! I decided to use my PK to pick up two of the girls off the bed and stand them up in a corner. Maggie and Sheila did the same, each taking one of the other two.
That caught Sachs’ attention, “Oh shit. Um, are you guys any relation to that Jonah guy?”
Monte roared, “Yes! He is our friend and you and your cronies tried to kill him tonight! For that you’re all going to pay!” He said in a gravelly voice that didn’t give credence to his having just come up with this disguise.
I don’t know if it was the cock ring that he was still sporting or what, but Sachs shot off a line of piss that hit the ceiling!
One of Sachs’s girls got pissed, “George! How could you? Jonah’s a good guy and he helps people!”
Suddenly Georgie boy’s butt plug shot out forcibly and he filled the bed with shit. His expression became even more incredulous when Pops showed up as the Terminator, and Rex showed up as the Incredible Hulk.
The gang was all here, or at least I thought so, until Iron Man showed up! I flashed, “Hmm, I wonder who this could be?”
That’s when TJ flashed, “If you thought I was going to miss this party, you’re crazy! This guy is the final piece to our criminal ‘pervert – puzzle’ and besides, Jim Gregory has everything under control back in Chicago.”
Suddenly our faces all soured and we were holding our noses before Iron Man chuckled, “Why don’t you girls fetch Mister Sachs some wet towels to clean up? It smells like a cesspool in here!”
Just as two of them went running for the door Maggie warned, “Don’t get lost you two, now that I know what you look like you can’t run or hide!”
One of them groused, “We won’t, I promise. We’ll be right back!”
After they got Sachs cleaned up we left the room and made sure to close the door.
We were seated around his opulent living room with Sachs and his girls sitting on the floor in the center. Sachs put his head in his hands then sputtered, “I fucking TOLD Fox and Whistler that we should’ve just left you alone, Mister Jonah, honest.” He was looking up at Pops, desperately hoping ‘Jonah’ would believe him.
I had a feeling it was going to get crowded in Sachs’s head.
My suspicion was confirmed when Pops flashed, “He’s telling the truth. He was adamantly against Hunt and Normistronzo trying to eliminate Jonah.”
Our boy just earned himself one small brownie point.
Pops decided to cut to the chase, “Why don’t you start out by telling us where all the young kids are being held, that you’re using as sex slaves?”
He looked alarmed, “I don’t have any sex slaves! I also don’t have anyone, male or female, working for me or any of my clubs, that isn’t free to leave any time they want.”
I knew Lenny had already touched Sachs, as I did, and we also knew he was telling the truth, again. While I was certain both of us knew the whole story, we decided to keep questioning him so that the girls, Monte, Rex and TJ could hear it for themselves.
Maggie, who had also been in his head, snarked, “Then what about that comment you made to Hunt that you were upset because Normistronzo had been hogging all the kids you needed to use for sex slaves?”
“Oh shit ... you heard that?”
Maggie snapped, “YES ... we all did!”
“Aaargh, I just said that to keep up appearances. You have to understand, Hunt and Humbacker talk to E Norm all the time. If E Norm ever found out what I was really doing with all those kids he’d probably have taken a contract out on my ass! If you want to arrest somebody who is really abusing those kids, you need to go after E Norm’s cunt sister, Lola! That bitch and her two sadistic daughters need to be shot for what they do to those kids!”
Maggie nodded, “We’ve already been there and done that! Well, we didn’t exactly shoot them, but rest assured, we made them suffer before we took them to where the rest of the Mob and Co-op are going to spend the rest of their miserable lives! We rescued nearly 100 children tonight, some of whom were very near death.”
Sachs shook his head and said, quietly, “By my estimate, there should have been nearly three or four hundred of them!”
A quiet pall fell over the room, all of us just thinking about what he just said.
Maggie took a less aggressive tone, “So, you’re telling us you don’t have any underage girls ‘working’ for you? And why did you feel it necessary to keep up appearances?”
He shook his head, “I’m not going to lie, I do have many underage girls working in my hundred or so clubs all up and down the East Coast. I swear to you though, I have never and would never abuse a single child.”
Sheila was shaking her head, “And you’re going to tell us that forcing those kids to have sex with sleazy pedophiles isn’t abuse?”
“You really don’t understand, do you?” Sachs said resignedly.
Now all of us were shaking our heads so Pops convinced him to tell us the whole story. We promised not to interrupt unless we discovered he was lying about something. He told Sachs the consequences for that would be quite severe and that he felt leaving anything out would be the same as lying.
Sachs’ story: I grew up in Queens, NY and after school worked for a very powerful ‘Don’ whose territory was Brooklyn, NY. He liked me for some reason and took me under his wing. He kept me out of gangs, saying that would only end with jail or me being killed. He taught me the value of hard work and never ‘biting the hand that feeds’.
He also made it clear that you needed to treat people fairly, because if you didn’t you’d never be able to truly trust them. He also taught me that those who tried to stab you in the back, needed to be stabbed first! He taught me how to recognize when to trust someone and when not to.
Above all, he firmly believed in never harming a woman, let alone a child.
As I grew, he gave me more and more ‘jobs’ that I know now were running numbers and sports betting. As I ‘proved’ myself as being trustworthy, I found myself handling thousands of dollars in cash. Soon I was ‘couriering’ even larger amounts of cash, using a paperboy’s bag to keep from drawing attention to myself. I even had a few papers incase somebody just happened to want to buy one.
On my 18th birthday he took me to one of his brothels as my reward for all my hard work. He came with me, saying he missed his favorite girl. He also gave me a lesson that to this day I have never forgotten. He said, “George, some people call these ladies you’re about to meet, whores, prostitutes, sluts and other vile names. None of my girls deserve to be treated any less kindly than you’d treat your very best girlfriend. Just because they have sex with many different men doesn’t make them second-class citizens. Most of these girls really enjoy their jobs and enjoy the fact that they make quite a bit of money, doing the very thing they love doing. Men aren’t the only ones who get horny you know?”
The Don laughed, “I want you to notice that because I treat them with respect they are always happy to see me. They’ll be even happier that I brought a young stud like yourself along with me today!”
Anyway, I learned that compassion and kindness made working girls very faithful to me. When the different families started fighting amongst themselves in the late 50s early 60s, Don Marcos moved his operation out of New York City and I became ensconced in monitoring the numerous strip clubs, men’s clubs and brothels he ran. Don Marcos had two sons who felt the drug business would be more profitable and both of them ended up getting themselves killed as a result. That was in 1968 and by 1972 I found myself in charge of running nearly 40 of his establishments. By moving out of the city and going out of his way to stay out of the limelight, Don Marcos had quietly developed the highest rated, not to mention the busiest clubs around.
Don Marcos was anything but a Boy Scout and wouldn’t hesitate to use the muscle that he had to keep everything on an even keel. Every one of his establishments had at least two guys built like linebackers or defense lineman. That’s when he became friends with Mister Humbacker and Mister Hunt. They had the political clout to keep law enforcement at bay and some very high-powered attorneys when that failed. They set up a financial agreement that we still use more or less in its original form today.
Now about the younger girls. I met young Naomi, this pretty little blonde, when she was only 12 years old. That was more than 10 years ago. I found her battered, bruised and crying, sitting on a park bench. It took me a little while to make her understand that I only wanted to help her. I finally convinced her to let me buy her something to eat. When she told me what had happened I was furious, not to mention heartbroken. Her mother was a heroin addict and her stepfather began raping her nearly every night once her mother passed out from the drugs. Her stepfather continually threatened her to not say anything to anyone, especially her mother. He said if she told anyone he would kill both her, her younger sister and her mother! This continued for two months or more before her mother caught the two of them in the act. Her mother was so whacked-out, she began beating Naomi for trying to steal her husband away from her!
That’s when she ran away from home, vowing to never go back. That’s also when I found her. You might say I took advantage of her situation, but you might want to ask her and get her opinion. I took her to one of the brothels I was in charge of and introduced her to Madame Fiona. Fiona and her girls made sure young Naomi was taken care of. In time Naomi began doing chores, like laundry, doing the dishes and even helping out with cooking. I checked up on her nearly every day and in time, began taking her different places with me. One day when we were out she asked if we could stop by her old house because she was worried about her sister. Since it was just before school would let out, we slowly drove toward the school she attended, so that hopefully her stepdad wouldn’t see her. When she saw her sister she broke into tears and bolted after her. Her sister was only 11 years old and it appeared that her stepfather had taken up with her right where he left off with Naomi. I questioned why the school wouldn’t have done or said something when Ruthie, Naomi sister, told us that she had never gone to school and simply hid out all day so she wouldn’t have to answer any questions.
Naomi begged me to bring Ruthie back with us.
There was no way I could say no so we all jumped in the car and headed back to Madame Fiona’s. I was shocked when after a couple of months there wasn’t one news report or article about either one of them being missing. This was toward the end of school year so nothing was done or said about sending either of the girls to school. By the end of the summer however both of the girls really wanted to go back to school.
The problem was I couldn’t very well take them back to their old school. That’s where Mister Hunt’s high-powered attorneys used some highly questionable methods to get the girls both fake identities, complete with birth certificates and transcripts from a school across the country. Since they were both still in grade school, I was assured most schools around here wouldn’t do more than a cursory check if that. Since I’d just opened a new place not far from Atlantic City, New Jersey I moved the girls there and put them in the charge of Madame Bethany. It worked out well for me as I was spending much more time in that area.
Time marched on. Even though I often traveled hundreds of miles a week I made it a point to stop in and see both of the girls every time I was anywhere near the area.
Just when I thought everything was going great, Madame Bethany unloaded a bombshell on me. A couple of bombshells actually.
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...
Marta Fernandez was a 22 year old, Colombian student who was able, with the help of her father, whose friend worked in the embassy in Bogotá, to get a student visa to study in the U.S. All her life she had dreamed of coming to the U.S. to study English and hopefully meet a nice American gentleman she could fall in love with and marry. The men in Colombia were all the same, a bunch of womanizers who did not know the meaning of commitment. At every opportunity they poked themselves into the...
Deedi woke early on Monday eager to get ready for her new job. She wanted to look her best but that was never a problem since she was adept at putting on her make-up and dressing for effect. She wore a grey two piece suit with a light, check pattern. The skirt was knee length with a slightly see-through, light blue blouse and matching blue underwear. She pulled on a pair of sheer, barely-black stockings and clipped them to her suspenders and found a pair of plain, black high heels. The...

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...

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...
Morality Laws By Julie O Chapter 1 So, where to begin? My life totally changed on the first day back from winter break the senior year of high school. At the time I was an average high school student; average grades, average size, average build, and average family. I also wasn't sure what I would be doing after graduation. I had been accepted at the local community college, but...
"Morale Officer" by Jennifer Brock On a spaceship in the near future, a situation arises that requires an innovative solution. The Monongah hung in space like a giant 10-penny nail. She was an asteroid mining ship for the AsterOre Mining Corporation. At one end was a disk 150 meters in diameter, inside of which was a ring of rooms that spun to simulate gravity. This is where most of the crew cabins and workspaces were located. At the other end of the 800-meter...
Boosting Morale By Tennis Guy Everyone's office always tries to do something to boost morale. These days with dwindling 401K's and layoffs, the attempt to boost morale becomes harder and harder. This Halloween, my office decided one way to boost morale was that it was going to have everyone come on Halloween dressed in costumes, and there was going to be a contest for the best costume, and if everyone came dressed in costume, the office was going to be closed on Friday! Talk...
“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...
