Note: All persons in this novel are fictitious. If you are looking for a great deal of explicit sexual activity, this story is not for you. Those scenes that are included will be evocative rather than just for the sake of sex itself. This story is for your reading pleasure. Its length is undetermined at this time, because I do not know where my mind will take me along the way. I hope you will stay with me during this journey until it reaches its inevitable conclusion.

120. Detonation

"Hello Anna, why are you calling so late? It's after 11 PM, is everything okay between you and Cloudy?"

"Mom, Cloudy couldn't be more wonderful if he tried. I love him so much, and he loves me. We'd like to set a date for the wedding, but we need to know when you and dad are available. You're always running around, and dad is always so busy with the project down in Texas. If you want to help us plan the wedding, it would be wonderful. However, we can do it by ourselves if you are too busy."

"Have you spoken to his family about this?"

"Believe it or not, they don't like me very much. They don't mind my money, but they think I'm a spoiled bitch. I don't think I've acted that way around them, and neither does Cloudy, but that's the impression he gets when he speaks to them alone."

"Do you want your father and me to speak to them?"

"Mother that's the last thing in this world I want to happen. I know how you are, but more importantly, you know how you are. If they say one bad word about the family, you will use your gun on them, without worrying about the charges that will be brought against you."

"A lot of people, in high places, owe me a lot of favors, Anna. Don't worry about the charges, there won't be any."

"Mother, just think about the wedding, do you want to help us or not?"

"I want to give you the biggest and best wedding ever held in the United States. Whatever you, and Cloudy want you will have. I will try to keep my opinions at bay. I can't guarantee it will work all the time, but I will try."

"Now what about Cloudy; do you think his family wants to be involved?"

"Mom, I think they look at dollar signs, and don't want to spend a penny of their money."

"Honey that's fine; heaven knows we have more money than we will ever spend in 100 lifetimes. It also makes the seating arrangements very easy. We will have the wedding in Austin. We will pay for all their travel expenses, hotels, food, and entertainment."

"Thank you mom that solves more problems than you possibly can imagine."

"I've waited since the day the three of you were born to throw a big wedding. After all you did for me, through my terrible years; it warms my heart that it's you."

"Don't you dare make me cry."

"Why not, I'm crying."

"Now I have to tell you something else mom; and I don't know how you are going to take it. You may have to plan a wedding for your other daughter, or it may be her first liaison."

"Have you talked to Laura? I've been trying to get a hold of her all evening. Her phone is disconnected."

"It's not disconnected mom; she turned it off. She is at a man's house, somewhere in Fort Worth."

"I'm going to ask you this very calmly. Was that man's name Adam Schiff?"

"Yes it was."

"Did she say what she was doing there?"

"This is the part I don't think you want to know mom."

"Anna, as God is my witness, if you don't tell me everything you know, I will crawl through the radio waves these phones work on, grab you by the throat, and beat the shit out of you until you tell me."

"Mother, please remain calm. Remember she's 24 years old. She has the right to do anything she wants with her body."

"Anna, stop stalling."

"While I was talking with Adam, Laura was undressing him. He was telling me everything she was doing, while she was doing it, piece by piece. As she did it, Adam would say, she just removed my shirt; I am now bare chested. She has my legs saddled, as she's removing my boots. She's sitting on my chest, opening my belt and unbuttoned the button of my jeans and is getting ready to remove them... and so on."

Then Laura took the phone from him. She said, "Anna, I am going to be a little busy for the next few hours experiencing many new things about a man's anatomy. I should have done this year ago, instead of waiting for mom to get me so angry that I'm doing it this way. If mom comes knocking at his door, I will do the same thing to her as did to me the other night. I am turning off my phone just like she did, and I hope she has to sleep on the grass."

"I am going to kill that bitch with my bare hands. I brought her up better than that. She just met that man. She doesn't know what diseases he may have. I'm going to go there and pull her out of his house by her hair if I have to, but she's coming home with me."

"I wouldn't bet my grandchildren on that mother. Her guards are faithful to her. She pays them not you. I don't think you want to start a firefight in the middle of the night."

"I'll firebomb his house, and grab her when she comes running out."

"Mother, stop this. You are going to do nothing of the kind. She's going to get laid. I did, and I haven't changed. It was a very loving, and enlightening experience."

"Are you pregnant?"

"No, but I've stopped taking my birth control pills."

"I think we should do this wedding in the next two months, don't you?"

"Cloudy graduates next month, and his family is going to throw a big party for him. Anytime after that would be fine with us."

"I'll see if I can steal Jemma for two weeks, and we will fly to New York to see Carolina Herrera and get your wedding dress started. I'll call her and give her a heads-up. She will be thrilled. She did mine, now she's doing yours. Your sister can't get knocked up, because she can't go into space pregnant. I hope she remembers that while she's fucking him tonight. I am going to ring her neck, and leave her in a landfill, the next time I see her."

"Stuff it mother, you are going to do nothing of the kind. If you were going to kill any of us, you would have killed Robert years ago."

"That's true, but Robert still has a job. He's had it for almost 15 months, and they are still paying him voluntarily. Who would've thought that was even a possibility?"

"Do you watch him when he is interviewed on C-SPAN, or CNBC?"

"Yes I do. I can't believe he's the same boy who lived in our house for 22 years."

"The election is in November, can you imagine if she wins."

"She's only behind by four points, and that's within the margin of error in the polls. Look at the people she has behind her. Her dad can't go out electioneering for her because he's on the Supreme Court. However, he's always on the stage with her, and just his presence means a lot. Julia and Clark are there any time they can be, because of their health, and ages. Robert is there, and apparently, he is giving them good advice. They have a ton of money behind them, between the Atwater's, their parent's, and Robert, so they can't be outspent. They haven't made one mistake on the campaign trail so far. If the incumbent does, it's all over but the shouting."

"Don't get angry with me mother, but have you noticed that both the candidate and her sister are always glowing when they're on stage?"

"Yes, they both look extremely happy."

"Do you ever wonder if Robert has anything to do with it?"

"That was a horrible thing to say, about a political candidate, and her sister, Anna."

"We've both seen a lot of women candidates take the stage over the years, mom. They may smile for the cameras, as they are walking to the stage, and away from it.

However, they all looked haggard and gray from the stress and travel commitments of the campaign when they get back to the privacy of their own rooms. Sandy and Cindy have only five months to go until Election Day, and those two look fresh as a daisy."

"Maybe they had a good makeup team."

"No makeup man can put apples on your cheeks like that mother, and you know it."

"My son has no shame. He is fucking both those women."

"It certainly looks that way mom."

"Maybe that's how they're paying him."

"Heaven knows he doesn't need the money, and they are great looking woman for their age."

"What do you mean for their age; they are my age."

"That's why I said it mom. They look as good as you do."

"That was a very nice save Anna. They must have taught you that in college."

"They did mother. It was the first chapter on 'Peace Negotiations."

"Smart ass."

"I love you mom."

"I love you too baby. I will call you when I can get Jemma free for a week."

"You have a deal. I'm going to get laid now, just like your other daughter is."

"Did you have to remind me of that?"

"You know I couldn't let you get away free as a bird."

"Bitch."

"Remember, everything I know, you taught me."

"You had to slide a knife between my ribs, didn't you?"

"Get laid mother, that's probably what your triplets are doing tonight."

"I don't like the way this phone call is ending."

"That's because you didn't win, and nearly lost."

"I should never have sent you to college. You are smarter than I am."

"No one is smarter than you are mother, especially when it comes to computers. I have watched you work on them all these years, and what you do on them is absolute magic."

"Thank you, but I was there, when four little kids nearly started the third world war."

"I hope you burned that disc."

"No, I still have it. If the Russians piss me off, I'm going to scare the shit out of them, because I upgraded it."

"Now I'm sure you're out of your mind mom."

"When the Russians find out that we have Six Cloaked 7000 Gigawatt Lasers in permanent orbit over the North Atlantic, and Four over the North Pacific, they are going to shit a brick."

"Mom, you are some piece of work."

"Just think baby, your father has put up with me, all the time."

"Dad must be a saint."

"Don't you ever tell him I said this, but he is the only man on this planet that can put up with me."

"Thank you dear. That was the nicest thing you have ever said about me."

"Get out of this house before I kill you Steph. You weren't supposed to hear that."

"Why not; I heard about the Russians. Now get out of your clothes, and into bed. I'm going to fuck you senseless."

"Anna, your father just made me an offer I can't refuse. I'll talk to you after I speak to Jemma. Goodbye now."

"Enjoy getting laid mom. It will relax you. Goodbye."

***************

"Did you hear the part about your son, Steph?"

"Please tell me he didn't get fired."

"No it's more evil than that."

"As long as he didn't get fired, I don't care."

"Anna and I believe he is screwing Sandy and Cindy Hastings."

"Good for him, now get to bed."

"Men, you are all a pigs."

"Yes dear, let me get rid of these panties for you. I've been practicing linguistics all the way home. I want you to tell me if I should start here like this, or here, like this, or here...."

"Oh, that is so nice, you handsome bastard. I've only been talking to Anna for 40 minutes, and she took up most of that time. I don't stand a chance."

"Then shut the fuck up, and enjoy yourself."

"I love when you think you have won."

"Ouch, you bastard, that hurt."

"I believe I told you to shut up Patti."

"Fuck you Steph."

"I will, when I'm good and ready."

"Animal."

"Turn over, and I'll remind you how much of an animal I am."

"No Steff, I don't want to scream in front of all these people."

"You're going to scream anyway my dear, get use to it."

"Show off."

121. Skiing in May

Lucius walked into Dan's office with a slight limp.

"How are you doing?"

"According to Joe, I'm much better than I should feel. He wants me to stay off of it, but that's nonsense. I've gone into battle feeling worse than this. Did he tell you he wants to clone me?"

"Did he tell you what I told him in response?"

"Yes, he told me his life expectancy had been minimized. I'm here to talk to you about him. I owe him a big favor, and I'm going to repay it. I'm going out of town for about a week. What I have to set up is very complicated, because I promised him I would not kill his wife. My way would have been quick and easy. His way is going to be a bitch, and it is going to involve a lot of people. This trip is basically a sightseeing trip to get the lay of the land. If something presents itself, we will take advantage of it. If not, it was not our prime purpose anyhow.

This is part one. I give you my word this is a nonlethal action. It will take place in Montpelier Vermont."

"How many parts of this plan are there?"

"There will be four or possibly as many as five. As I said Joe wants no one killed, so we must be very careful."

"Keep to that plan Lucius. We have nothing pressing here. You have 10 days before you have to be back."

"Thank you sir that will be more than enough time for what I have planned."

"One more thing before you leave, Lucius. It was part of the discussion we were having, while they were operating on Margaret. You said, "If Margaret dies, and they don't sentence this guy to death, I have more than enough money to raise an army to break him out of prison, and put him to death my way."

Lucius, how much money do you have? I know you said William has you invested all around the world, but what does that mean in dollars?"

"That's one question I never thought you would ask me Dan."

"I never would have if you hadn't made that statement about breaking the guy out of prison. I know you would have done anything for Margaret, to avenge her death. Was it you who took that shot?"

"You know me better than that Dan. I had men all around the area, waiting to follow him to his home. I wanted him alive, not dead."

"That's what I thought. Are you going to answer my question, or not."

"In the area of $650."

"$650,000 thousand dollars?"

"No Dan, $650 million dollars."

"$650 million dollars. What the fuck are you still doing here Lucius? Why do you do this day after day? Why do you put up with me, and all the other bullshit that goes on around here?"

"It's really very simple Danny. This is the only thing in the world I love doing. The day I lie down on a beach, holding a drink with an umbrella in it, is the day I'm going to die."

"I put a bullet a quarter of an inch above your head Lucius, and you didn't flinch. You don't have an heir. You live frugally. Who the hell is going to get that money, when you kick the bucket?"

"I have two ex-wives that I'm still friendly with, and I have made some very good friends along the way, while I have been the service, and in civilian life. After they are taken care of, every Army organization you can think of, starting with the Academy is in my will. The biggest chunk is going to Wounded Veterans associations for both the mentally and physically disabled. Think about it Danny, how much money do we really need to live on, if you are single, and at our age. If guys like us have an income of $75,000, $100,000 a year, we are in pigs' heaven.

You also have to remember; you are the guy that made me rich. You got me kicked out of the Army, when William was looking for close body protection. All that publicity led him to me."

"You always were a lucky son of a bitch."

"Would you like $50 million to tide you over?"

"What the heck would I do with it?"

"It's the same question I ask myself every morning. I'll write you a check, and let you decide."

********************

Lucius called a friend, who always enjoyed hearing from him.

"Hello ma'am, this is Colonel Lucius Canyon of the 2191 missile Battalion in Black Hills North Dakota. I need to speak with Colonel Jack Daniels immediately please?"

"My father is babysitting for me. I'm about to leave the house for my afternoon card game with the girls. Is this important?"

"Ma'am I have 36 Minuteman missiles that I can't get off the ground, because my command bunker collapsed. We tried to find an engineer who could do the work we need, under the strictest security measures this country has. It went all the way up the line to the President. The President told the Chiefs of Staff to go through every engineer, who had been in the military in the last 20 years, who was qualified under those conditions. General Schwarzkopf remembered how pivotal Colonel Daniels work was for him during Desert Storm. I was told to contact him immediately.

Now, if the Colonel is at home, I need to speak to him yesterday. If he is at home, and you are keeping him from speaking to me, you could be in violation of the National Security Act. You can wind up in jail, for in excess of 20 years, if you refuse to cooperate. If he is not at home, tell me how to contact him immediately. If Colonel Daniels is at home, move your ass, before I call the 'Military Police', and have you arrested for obstruction to cooperate in a National Security Emergency."

Jack Daniels was basically locked in a room, babysitting for his three grandchildren, when his daughter, Gretchen, threw open the door.

Dancing from toe to toe, she said, "Dad, there is Colonel from a rocket place in North Dakota. They can't shoot their missiles, unless you talk to him now." She threw him the phone, ran to the bathroom, and slammed the door.

"This is Colonel Daniels, to who may speaking?"

"Hello Jack, Lucius, would you like to stop babysitting for a while?"

"Lucius, what the fuck did you do to my daughter. You scared the piss out of her, figuratively, and literally."

"I'll tell you about that later. Act as if you have to rush like hell. Tell her a jet will meet you at the Memphis airport. They are taking you to the Black Hills on a secret mission. You don't know how long you'll be gone, but it could be six months or longer. I know it pains you to hear this, doesn't it?"

"It goes straight to my heart Lucius; straight to my heart. I'll be at the airport in an hour."

Jack ran to his bedroom, and started throwing his clothes into a large suitcase. His daughter joined him soon afterwards.

He turned, and hugged her. "Gretchen, honey, this is top secret stuff. The Colonel said it would be a minimum of six months, maybe even longer. I won't be able to call you for a while. Just know that I will be safe, because they have more than 300 guards guarding one missile silo. They don't know why their communications building collapsed, but they are looking into the possibility that someone may have tunneled underneath it. That's why they need me. Deposit my checks, and use the money like yours. I won't need money where I'm going. Security will be so tight everything will be brought in by truck convoy or by air. Take care of the kids, and as soon as I get clearance, I'll give you a call. Be strong honey, I know you have that inner strength to do it. This country's defense depends on me getting this job done quickly and properly. I love you baby, and I'll be thinking of you every day."

Gretchen started to tear up. It seemed the older her father got; the more the country needed him for his expertise. He must be one of the best military engineers there ever was. They kept calling him out of retirement, and back into active duty, when something extraordinary needed to be done. She was so proud of him, proud he was her father, but she could never tell anyone why he went away for such extended periods of time on secret military missions.

***********

The Grumman Gulfstream 550 landed at the Memphis airport and taxied to the general aviation facility. Colonel Jack Daniels walked out to the big white bird, and Lucius was at the stairway to greet him.

"God bless you Lucius; I love my daughter, and my grandkids, but you can only take so much of them on a daily basis."
