It was challenging for Angel to wake up early after spending so many years being nocturnal. She was a bit out of sorts as she got in the shower. It was work for her to keep her eyes open as the water fell on her and she managed to finish showering. She toweled off and began to blow dry her hair and then she thumbed through her clothes attempting to pick out an outfit. Jordan had given her a little bit of closet space.
"Dress casually today," Jordan said and she could see he was wearing his jeans and tee shirt and it appeared he intended to put on a flannel shirt. She noticed he was wearing the cowboy boots he wore on the night she first met him in the bar. Those boots were an indication that he was definitely a cowboy from Reno.
Angel was grateful for Jordan's housekeeper who had washed and folded her clothing neatly placing her clothes on top of the dresser so that all Angel had to do was put them in the drawer Jordan provided. She grabbed her freshly washed jeans and put them on along with a sweater and then she put on her Levi jacket.
She joined Jordan in the kitchen as he filled a thermos and two travel mugs with coffee. There was a nylon bag sitting out on the counter that had been filled with cups of jell-o and fruit, along with granola bars, power bars, and assorted snacks. Angel wondered how much he paid his housekeeper, she was quite efficient. She had never even seen his housekeeper.
As they got in the truck, Angel cuddled up next to Jordan and he looked down at her sternly, "You need to slide over on the seat so you can buckle up."
She looked up at him as if he was joking, "Are you kidding?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" He asked in a serious tone. "I'd love for you to sit right next to me for the ride, but I've seen too many accidents when people weren't wearing seat belts. I don't want you to be injured if I accidentally veer off the road."
Angel didn't like that he was making her sit away from him, but she knew he was not kidding around, and she wasn't in the mood for him to spank her this early in the morning, so she slid over and buckled her seat belt and frowned.
He brushed her cheek lightly with his hand, "Hey, it's better to have you alive than dead." He then inserted a CD in his truck stereo, "George Strait," She groaned, instantly recognizing the music.
"Yep, and after that it's Dwight Yoakum," he grinned.
"You're quite the Redneck," she said in mock disapproval, "Did the good people at Harvard Med know you were a 'good ole boy'?"
"Yep," Jordan laughed, "and there ain't nothing you can say worse than what some of them folks already said about me, so don't even try."
"Good Lord," Angel sighed in amusement, "George Strait."
"Careful now," He grinned, "You don't want me to spank you this early in the morning."
"You would spank me for disagreeing with your choice in music?" and then she thought about it, "Hey, if it means we can listen to some Rock and Roll oldies or anything besides this damn Country music, then by all means please spank me!" She joked, "Can't we at least listen to Garth Brooks?"
"Be good," he warned and cranked up the volume.
Jordan pulled his truck out onto the highway. Their first town was located only about an hour away and they arrived in no time. Jordan was a hard worker and Angel began to realize as she watched him work that when he was working he had very little time to focus on much else.
Jordan didn't have a nurse to assist him when he was out in these small towns and although sometimes his nurse Meredith accompanied him, most of the time he went alone. Angel found that he was not shy about giving her orders after awhile and she quickly complied, it made her feel useful when she was assisting him with the patients. She preferred helping him with the patients a lot more than she enjoyed answering the phone.
They visited three towns throughout the day and by the end of the day they were both exhausted. They hadn't stopped to eat or anything else all day long, it had been grueling. But there was a steak house that Jordan loved in the town they stopped in last, so after the last patient left the makeshift office where Jordan showed up once or twice a month, they packed up their supplies and eagerly drove over to the steak house.
"I don't know how you do that every day," Angel yawned as they pulled into the parking lot of the steak house.
"You were a huge help to me," Jordan smiled, and he parked his truck and led her inside the steak house. There was a live band playing country music as they entered and Jordan grinned at Angel, "Great band."
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. It wasn't that she was opposed to country music, because she wasn't; she simply enjoyed giving Jordan a bad time.
They ordered steaks and drinks and both of them were too tired to say much as they sat across from each other enjoying their food and each others company. Jordan ordered a shot of tequila for both of them and then as they finished eating, he stood up and grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out onto the dance floor.
"Wait," Angel protested, she could dance a little, but she had never danced the two-step.
Jordan took her in his arms and began to show her how to dance. It was easy for Angel to pick up dance moves. She had survived being a cheer leader, so a certain amount of coordination came naturally for her. She loved to dance, but she was also growing tired. It had been a very long day.
Finally, there was a slow song and Jordan pulled her close and they swayed slowly to the music, "Why don't you have a dog or some horses?" She asked dreamily, "Most cowboys I know have at least a dog and usually a couple of horses."
He looked down at her with affection, realizing she must be tired to ask such odd questions, "I hardly have time to care for myself, let alone a dog," he sighed, "And I guess I was waiting for a wife and kids before I got horses."
Angel looked down at the floor uncomfortably.
"What's wrong?" Jordan asked and tilted her chin up so that he could look down into her eyes.
"Nothing," she said uncomfortably.
"Tell me," he insisted, "or I might have to spank it out of you."
Angel shook her head and he noticed there were tears in her eyes. "What is it Angel?" He asked softly.
"I don't think I can ever have any more children," she confessed.
He stopped dancing and looked down at her with affection, "What makes you think that? Are you certain?"
She nodded, "I'm pretty sure."
Jordan held her close as they continued to sway to the steady rhythm of the music. He thought of how his father was. Ethan made sure his whores were disease free and he always took care of their immediate medical concerns, but he didn't allow them to become pregnant and he often sterilized them on a regular basis. "Did you have any surgeries?"
Angel shook her head, "I don't know, I don't think so."
Jordan held her close wondering how she couldn't know whether or not she had surgery, but he didn't want to think about it, "What sort of birth control are you on?"
"I don't know," she confessed.
"How long since you had a period?" He asked with concern.
She shook her head, "I don't know."
He pressed her against him, "It'll be OK Anj. I'll examine you and run some tests and we'll find out what's going on inside of you, OK?"
She nodded. She knew she was disease free because Ethan had her tested routinely and the men he allowed her to see, most of them regulars, had to be tested before they were allowed to be with her, at least initially. A doctor visited frequently and made sure she was not pregnant and that she did not have periods or contract any diseases. If she wasn't clean there was no way Ethan could get the $5000 per hour that she was worth.
Jordan could tell talking about the condition of her body was a sensitive subject for her. He hadn't ever used a condom when he had been with her, which was an asinine thing for him to do, especially considering her past, but somehow he hadn't cared. He didn't understand what it was about her that made him act so impulsive and reckless.
He breathed a tired sigh and twirled her around one last time as he led her off the dance floor and out of the restaurant. The effects of the alcohol he drank during dinner had completely worn off. As they got inside the truck, Angel insisted on cuddling up next to him, and against his better judgment, he allowed her to sit close to him, even though he she wasn't properly restrained by the seat belt. She closed her eyes as the radio blared a George Strait song You're Something Special To Me, "An angel's what you are..." George's voice rang out loud and clear, "every man has a dream and you made mine come true..." Jordan was certain he would never hear this song again without thinking of Angel because the lyrics suddenly struck him in a way they never had before. She was indeed something special to him.
It was nearly 2 a.m. when Jordan finally arrived home and carried Angel inside. She was so tired she couldn't stay awake long enough to remove her clothes, so Jordan took them off for her and then cuddled up next to her under the covers in the bed, giving her a light peck on the cheek as he drifted off to sleep.
Martin paced back and forth in his office sipping his coffee. He had put it off for several days, but he knew he had to go speak to Angel. For a man like him, something like that was easier said than done.
It was around noon when Martin grabbed his jacket off the coat rack and headed out the door. He got in his truck and drove over to Dr. Parker's office. He pulled up in the parking lot in his old beat up pickup truck and walked inside.
Angel was hard at work when Martin entered. She was ready for the lunch break and her eyes flew wide open when she looked up and saw her father approaching. She blinked several times and swallowed nervously. He stopped in front of the reception desk and looked down at her, "Hello Angelica," Martin said quietly.
Connie didn't wait, she knew this was an emergency and she quickly rushed to the room where Jordan was seeing a patient and interrupted him, "You better come out here," she said in a worried voice.
Jordan was grateful Connie had interrupted him. "Hello Martin," Jordan said casually as he rushed out to see what was going on, "Can I help you with something?"
Martin looked at Jordan, "I want to talk to my daughter," he said.
Angel was shaken up by Martin's presence, and her lips quivered and her hands shook. Tears threatened to burst forth out of her eyes and she was choked up and unable to speak.
"What are your thoughts Angel?" Jordan asked with a worried look.
Angel swallowed and after a few seconds she managed to say, "It's OK," but she was barely able to get the words out.
"You can use my office to talk," Jordan offered.
"No, I want her to come with me and we'll get lunch," Martin said and he looked down at his daughter expectantly. Angel was still trembling nervously and looking as though she wanted to crawl under the desk and hide.
"I'd prefer you not leave my office with her," Jordan said with a tight jaw.
Martin considered Jordan's words and was a little surprised by how protective Jordan was of Angel. Martin scoffed, "I'm not staying here," he said, "C'mon Angel, let's go to Carson's Diner for lunch; there are a lot of other people there," he added for Jordan's benefit.
Angel didn't know what to do. This was completely unexpected and caught her off guard. But somewhere deep down inside she was conditioned to follow her father's orders no matter what, so she stood up as if on automatic pilot and gathered up her purse.
"I don't think you should go with him Angel," Jordan said and there was pleading in his eyes, "things could get ugly." He wondered if there was a way he could force her to stay.
Angel shook her head and looked at Jordan, "I'll be OK Jordan; don't worry," and she reached over and touched him on the shoulder softly as she walked past him, looking at him with as much reassurance as she could muster.
Jordan's felt as though his heart was being ripped out as he watched Angel leave his office with her father. He wanted to run out after her and stop her. He turned and looked at Connie and Meredith who appeared to be mesmerized as they stared at the door with shocked expressions, "Will she be OK?" Connie asked with concern.

I suddenly had trouble breathing and my vision fogged up as waves of powerfully strong emotions crashed over me. Through the tears welling up in my eyes I reread the message several times to make sure that it was real. J'Una alive? Could it really be? Where the fuck was Tatooine anyway? I was so overcome that I became somewhat giddy and I think I even jumped up and down a little. Not what you'd expect from a veteran Imperial TIE fighter pilot, but there it is. I must have made more noise...

The Heads of State gathered in the general assembly taking seats that would normally have been occupied by their Ambassadors. No one seated there truly knew what to expect today. All they knew was that the countries which had been at war with the Jade Empire had signed contracts that obligated them to certain specific actions on this day. The reason that the Heads of State had displaced their Ambassadors was simple. The Jade Empire lived and died by the contract. No one wanted anything to...

We had met over lunch. Me and my white boyfriend; she and her white boyfriend.

A bully is someone who pushes around someone weaker to take their lunch money or just to inflict pain in retaliation for some perceived insult. The school bully does not intend for his victim to become his personal slave, just that his victim fears him. The modern world has a rather odd vision of what it means to make war – war is just a form of bullying that involves nations rather than individuals. War has become a means of intimidation. There is this assumption that at the end of war,...

In 1941 Russia comprised a fifth of the worlds land surface, but its main cities and industrial centres all lay to the west of the Volga, and it was this portion of the world Hitler hungered to take during the summer. During a ferocious German invasion the mass of the Red Army was quickly knocked to pieces in a series of colossal annihilation battles which cost it a million casualties, and by September four million more Soviet troops were slowly starving to death in miserable captivity....
David grew stronger and began to ride around the crater on Zeus. He met up with Martin one day out in the Crater at one off the cattle paddocks. Martin was inspecting some cattle inside off it. ‘Good day Martin, I’ve not seen them before have I?’ Martin spun round smiling, ‘Hello David, of course I haven’t told you have I’ he replied, ‘I brought them from England. Part of my father’s bequeathed, their French Limousine cattle, he left me a bull and six cows. Their hardy cattle with a good...
CIVIL WAR 1861 TO 1875 The opening salvos of the American Civil War sounded no less ominous to the American Indian Tribes than it did to the men who were destined to fight for the Union or the Confederacy. Tens of thousands of Indian warriors served on both sides of the American Civil War for reasons related more to their own Tribal concerns than in similar beliefs in tune with one side or the other. Some of the Indian tribes were economically dependent on the practice of slaveholding and...
*** PROLOGUE This is a historical, but fictional story of the sea war that was fought between the Royal Navy and the U Boats during the period 1940 to 1942, the action is staged at the time when the U Boats were sinking British and allied shipping with little resistance. The story also refers to DEMS {Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships) which was the arming of merchant ships, usually with outdated guns from the first world war and manned by volunteer RN ratings which did a great job, at great...
Erotic FictionThe War of 1812 This chapter is devoted to a very short and nasty war which lasted only two years and eight months that involved many of the American Indian Tribes despite their past experiences which should have warned them about not getting involved in wars that could only hurt their own cause of retaining their tribal lands. If one were to search for the primary singular cause of the War of 1812 the only possible reason would be that the British Empire was still smarting from the defeat...
The man was bleeding heavily from his thigh. The arrow had seared and torn through the chainmail that was wrapped around his leg. Blood had begun to seep through the inter-linked chainmails and into the grass as the man fought with all his strength, dragging the injured limb along as he made his way into the nearby forestry. "Just a bit further, before I get caught by these Yorkist dogs!" The man shouted in a final effort to motivate himself. If he was caught he would be tortured until he told...
MatureFr?ulein Dietz was inconsolable for days about the fire that had gutted the library, but no look of suspicion settled on Willy Fr?hlich. The cause was clear, she said. The electrical wiring in the building had not been renewed since it was installed at the turn of the century, and it was just one more reason why it was so important to have everything at Ravenskopf renovated. With no more of Professor Dietz's notes to write up, Willy was assigned as Celina's personal assistant and s...
There I sat shifting through the many piles of papers lying on my desk and wishing I were somewhere else. It was truly amazing how many reports passed through my hands to be filed or used to type up other reports. I knew that at least half of them would reach Judge Jasper's desk, where he would study them for a few minutes then put them in his out box to be filed by you know who. What surprised me was how much information Judge Jasper remembered. He would quote me numbers on the...

In a move that has shocked the political world at large; the governments of Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have concluded and signed a treaty of mutual non-aggression. The released statements of many world leaders has ranged across the spectrum, from ones of rejoicing that the prospects of another great war in Europe has been avoided, to others who unofficially are seeking more information or are involved in a series of ‘intense discussions’ with allied...
THE PERIOD POST-WAR OF 1812 TO BEGINNING OF THE CIVIL WAR IN 1861 This chapter will be primarily focused on the Seminole Wars which were also known as the "Florida Wars". The rise of the Seminole Indian Tribe took place over a period of almost two hundred years and was greatly influenced by the encroachment of the European settlers into the area now known as Florida. The Seminoles were comprised of a number of remnants of other Indian Tribes that had escaped from the ravages of European...
January 30, 1991, Chicago, Illinois “There goes the luckiest man in Iraq,” General Norman Schwarzkopf said as he played a video of a laser-guided bomb destroying a bridge just after a vehicle had crossed it. “Damn!” Elyse exclaimed. “Those videos are amazing, but it’s making this war too much like a damned video game,” I groused. “The damned country is already too ‘gung ho’ for this war as it is.” “But you want us to win, Snuggle Bear.” “Once it started, my only concern is our men and...
“As I see it today, Hitler and Goebbels were in fact molded by the mob itself, guided by its yearnings and its daydreams. Of course, Goebbels and Hitler knew how to penetrate through to the instincts of their audiences; but in the deeper sense they derived their whole existence from these audiences. Certainly the masses roared to the beat set by Hitler’s and Goebbels’ baton; yet they were not the true conductors. The mob determined the theme. To compensate for misery, insecurity,...
Chapter 37 The Crater settled into a routine, the months passed into years. Susan gave birth to a son christened Guy Ramage. Martin and Jill had a daughter the same year, Barbara. Sulkie and Tana had foals, and Zeus was trained to the saddle. By the start of 1899 there were over 260 horses and foals out in the crater, and over 300 cattle and calves. People from the surrounding area would come to buy horses or cattle, mainly the Jersey’s for their own dairy needs. Susan had started a...
The summer air swept clouds of thick black smoke through the grassy hills. In West Virginia, the air was hot and polluted enough already. His eyes stung, watering as he turned away from the fire. Pulling out a bandana, he spit before covering his mouth. Another crop was lost to rival looters, the third one this week. They'd taken as much corn and soy as they could before setting the bare fields ablaze. We have been at War for over 5 years now, with no signs of it ending anytime soon. He had...

Bartand and Lady Lott "Pixie" had evaded Yorkist forces and safely made it back to Lancaster controlled lands.There they made their goodbyes, hoping and intending to meet once more when Mason thought it the time to partner them both together for an...
Love Stories1875 TO 1885 The primary focus of this chapter will be the famous "Battle of the Little Bighorn" or perhaps better known as "Custer's Last Stand". This battle is probably the most studied confrontation between the American Indian Tribes and the European settlers of the New World. It comes at a time that is almost at the very end of our 400 year timeline and the handwriting is already on the wall about the outcome to the conflict between the American Indian Tribes and the European...
THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS 1763 The Final Battle of Detroit and Defeat of Chief Pontiac (Author's Note) Before starting this final chapter of the segment of Part II that relates to the French and Indian Wars, I wanted to clarify some of the confusion about the Treaty of Paris 1763 which formally ended the French and Indian Wars. The first source of confusion is that there were two Treaties of Paris. The first one was called the Treaty of Paris 1763 and it formally ended the French and...
A country can win every battle, but lose the war. One would think that when that happens, there is also a country that has lost every battle while still winning the war, but that isn’t actually the case. When a losing army pulls out, the victors may celebrate the moment, but the real work has only begun. One has to rebuild what had been destroyed, and there is always destruction. In the modern context of war, winning and losing is a rather uncertain concept. Has the mission been...
"Looking at the moon?" Tom Soames did his best to ignore Michel, his pick-up for that night, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The small room was stuffy after their earlier heated encounter, and he stayed in the chair near his workbench, fiddling with electrical components and contentedly gazing out of the window. "No, the moon isn't up yet, its still daylight outside," he replied, "I'm just thinking. I have things to do. Plans to make." "Are you thinking of that girl you...
During a rather dull cocktail party in Inra, Ambassador Julliard took a sip of his tonic water while listening to Ambassador Lorenz, the representative from Espa, vent concerning the demands the Jade Empire was making upon it. Espa, like his country of Franka, was not going to surrender to the Jade Empire. Ambassador Lorenz said, “That whole affair in Engle is a disgrace. King Leopold shouldn’t have surrendered. Engle has lost all credibility as a world power.” “Let’s not be too hasty in...
-Chapters five and six will deal with the period of struggle between the American Indian Tribes and the European Settlers in the geographic confines of the thirteen original colonies during the period of their establishment beginning in the 1600s and up until the start of the French and Indian Wars in the mid-1700s. In the order of their establishment, the English settlements were: (1607) Virginia was the first colony established in the new American Colonies. It was founded by John Smith...

July 21, 1994 Colonel Naff stood atop a building watching the action below. The first battalion had just jumped into a fake urban area used in making a television show. The set was complete with buildings, although they were just shells. They were now in the process of taking control of the area. One of the problems facing paratroopers is that when they jump into a war zone they are doing so with limited supplies. There isn’t a convoy of supply trucks lumbering along behind them with heavy...
Aella held the bow and arrow in her hand steadily. She knew these forests better than anyone else because of her time fighting the Macedonians, and now she lay in wait in the thick underbrush as the night hid her slim figure in its darkness. “General Aella,” Stavros, her advisor, had said to her earlier in the day. “Everything is ready now. The men have been briefed, and your spies have returned confirming the news you had received last week. There will be an attack tonight, and we will be...

Dear Caroline, We miss you here a lot. It'll be funny going back to school without you. I mean, you were still here a year ago and then you were gone. Thank you for your letter. I'm glad you like where you're living. Okay, now I have to tell you something incredible, but you have to promise to believe me. It's all true, okay? Then when you're done you'd better throw this letter away. Tear it up first though. Here goes. Well, you know how boring things get by the end of the summer and...
The alleged accident that killed General Patton at the end of World War Two was a terrible awakening to the American people that suddenly they had lost the most outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and the dictator Joseph Stalin taking the place of Hitler and his Nazi goons as the primary threat to continuing peace in Europe. He had plenty of critics for his outstanding views on politics and the world around us but he was one hell of a combat commander and inspired deep loyalty in his...
May 27, 1993 Dr. Wilfred Tanguma did not look like a professor of history bundled up in heavy winter clothes. He was sitting on a folding chair that was half buried in the snow facing a half barrel in which a small fire burned. He was leaning forward with his hands over the flame trying to keep warm. It was bitterly cold. His childhood friend, Bertulfo ‘Bert’ Venzor, was seated next to him in much the same position. He had just delivered some very bad news. Bert said, “I don’t like it....
The estate was an impressive, imposing, and surprisingly large underground complex that filled a huge cavern, with a dim looking pseudo-sun in the centre. The cavern was so large Jason was sure the whole of Manhattan Island could fit in it with ease. They walked along the stone path that was lined with grey/brown foliage none of which Jason could recognize. The plants looked like a cactus with thick oddly shaped leaves and a conical stem that was about two feet tall. There were trees that...
The next two months, until the War of the Worlds, passed rather quickly for James. He spent most of his time training his combat and practising forging and alchemy. The incident with the mercenary army spread far and wide, and the tickets that had been bought up for the war of the world started to find their way onto the black market or disappeared from the hands of the smaller factions that had managed to nab one at auction. The two nations of Soel and Hastoel were starting to flare up even...
GUSTAV jumped to hyperspace, leaving the Death Star, Tarkin, Vader, and J'Una behind. We had embarked Admiral Haarkov and several members of his staff and were enroute to the Sepan system. The most difficult, and potentially frustrating, mission that any military organization can be assigned is one whose objective is not clear. The real purpose of any military, when you think about it, is twofold: 1)to kill people and break things when so directed, and 2)use the threat of force to keep...
