This story will include descriptions of male sex, including M/M, M/T, M/b, T/b and b/b. If stories involving sex between consenting males of all ages, including mainly gay sex, offends you, go back to the Archives and pick a different story for your reading pleasure. Don't expect constant descriptions of erotic sex in this story. I always want to develop a plot and characters before the hot action starts. There has been minimal research for this story therefore, names, places, and events are mostly fictitious and similarities to real life are coincidental. Some companies and organizations mentioned actually exist, but references to the activities, policies, programs and procedures are fictitious. This story will include references to the United States government, the FBI, CIA and other agencies. Any references are purely fictional, and only used to develop the plot and characters. There have been some delays in my posting of new chapters. I appologize for any grief that my personal issues have caused for you. This story is not finished, and I hope that you stick with me. This chapter is a Christmas present from me to you. Merry Christmas!! Fuck the politically correct assholes who want to take Christ out of this holiday season. (that should crank everyone.....). Thanks again to Bill for his editing skills. Agony & Ecstasy Chapter 42 John returned to Michigan, but decided to fly to Nassau a week before his family and friends would join him for Spring Break. He knew that college students across the United States would invade every tropical destination to escape from the winter conditions and sow their wild oats. He remembered his own times when he and some buddies left Michigan during his senior year in high school in a rusted out pickup truck to head for Fort Lauderdale, Florida. John was in a Lear Jet headed for Nassau when he thought about his wild times at the Button Lounge. The bar was located in the Holiday Inn and it was obvious that the manager knew how to entice high school and college students to party in his establishment. No one was checking I.D. and in the few places that did check, the same driver's license would be used by 10 people or more. It was the first time that John had ever seen a "banana eating contest" but it wasn't the last. Girls were drunk enough to get up on the stage and compete against other girls in the unusual contest. All that they had to do was eat a banana, but the bar manager announced that they had run out of bananas and needed six guys to volunteer. The girls were drunk and agreed to get on their knees and suck on the cocks of willing males until one of the guys blasted his load of cum. The girl who won the cock sucking contest won free drinks for herself and her friends for the rest of the night. All sucking stopped and five guys left the stage with raging boners and swollen nuts. John remembered how he danced with girls and never knew their names, went outside to a dark alley or unlocked car where he blasted his load of cum into their mouths or cunts before returning to the bar to find another hot date. He always wished that he was the one on the stage sucking the beautiful cocks and knew that he would have won any competition. The Button Lounge was one of the most famous bars in Florida, but certainly not the only one to cater to horny teenagers from high schools and colleges across the nation. Nicklas was still in Michigan when John arrived at his huge mansion in Nassau. John hugged Tiki and Maki when they greeted him when the limo arrived. He had several important things to do before his family and friends arrived for a two week vacation, but he was horny and ready to suck some black boys and drill their cute asses. Tiki and Maki were always horny and were thrilled that John Miller had arrived early before other guests would fill the mansion in the gated community that included the home of Philippe Ducharme and luxury apartments for security officers and their families. The black boys loved kissing, sucking and fucking and could never get enough sex. John was exhausted after sucking both boys twice and then fucking both of them at least two times before he fell asleep. The next morning, John woke to find both boys sucking his manhood into another erection. John plowed Tiki and sucked Maki before they all showered and dressed for a late breakfast. "Those two could win Olympic medals for sex," John said to Philippe when he saw his friend waiting in the dining room for him. "How can they do it?" "Boys here on the islands learn about sex when they are very young," Philippe said. "Tiki and Maki both have girlfriends that they mount more times than you can possibly imagine, but they both admit in private that they love male sex more than anything. "We'll have several special guests here in about a week, and I hope that no one's offended by the obvious open attitudes towards sex," John said. "I've taken care of everything," Philippe said. "We all know that some of our guests would object, so any open displays of sexual activity are prohibited. We'll have entertainment, but it will be G rated." John had a long phone call with Malcolm and was pleased that the wealthy man from Vancouver, British Columbia was receptive to his suggestions for helping the boys who attended the erotic party. "I want all of my boys to have $5,000 each," John began. "I also need your help to steer some adults into employment at the Sea & Jungle store in Vancouver. Do you know any people who can help Delbert get rid of those horrible thick glasses and do something about his ears?" "You don't know how wealthy and influential my guests are," Malcolm said. "After witnessing your generosity and sensitivity to Delbert's physical challenges, my other guests asked me what they could do for the boys. I'm going to coordinate the transformations and I have to tell you that this is more exciting to me than the actual party." "I found out that my store in Vancouver has two openings on the housekeeping staff and two openings for sales associates," John said. "World Wide Investments has an opening for a talented real estate person and the store needs at least four truck drivers in the Western United States and Canada. We need qualified people, but I have some influence in hiring. Please let me know what I can do to help you and your friends." "You're being too modest," Malcolm said. "One of my guests is a plastic surgeon, and he's offered to correct Delbert's ears, another is an oral surgeon and he's offering braces for Delbert and three other boys. With the resources of my guests like you, we'll have all 29 boys and their families on the road to happiness. Would you believe that each of my guests was very happy when I asked them to be part of the transformation of the boys?" John was excited and promised to work with Malcolm to offer employment to some of the parents of the 29 boys and was ecstatic hearing about other party attendees who had stepped up to make dramatic changes in the financial status of each boy's family. John spent most of the time in his huge office in the World Headquarters, but took a break to go fishing with Philippe and two bank executives. The fishing trip was a huge success with many large grouper and snapper caught that would be cooked for an evening party. John loved spending time with Philippe and was excited when his friend said that they would go fishing at least twice a week until the Spring Break was over. Philippe was in his office and was analyzing financial data for World Wide Investments that had been provided by an auditor that he had hired after seeing some questionable transactions. For Philippe, hiring an auditor had been a painful decision, mainly because the questionable transactions were initiated by Robert Ducharme, Philippe's son. He had questioned Robert about 20 million dollars that had disappeared, but Robert had lied and said it was seed money for a new investment opportunity. Now Philippe was looking at what could be a major case of embezzlement. Philippe talked to the auditor and was ready to involve Roberto "Butch" Mendez, Vice President of Security with the investigation. He talked to Butch on the phone and Butch agreed to get his investigators involved along with the legal staff headed up by Bobby Goldman. Bobby, Philippe and Butch had a conference call and decided to gather more information before informing John Miller of their suspicions. On March 12th, the visitors started arriving at the Nassau airport. John was excited to welcome his family and friends to the island and hoped that they would enjoy the tropical vacation away from snow and ice. John's mansion had 20 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms and could accommodate a large group of visitors, and with the addition of Philippe's mansion, no one would be forced to share a room or stay in a hotel. Once his family had arrived, John was at the airport with Nicklas to meet each Sea & Jungle plane when it arrived. They welcomed the guests, checked them off the long list of guests, and then made sure that they were taken to either John's estate or the one owned by Philippe. Each time someone came into the airport after clearing Customs, John introduced them to Nicklas and explained how he had met them. Many of the visitors were known to Nicklas, and he had special plans for them when they were away from view of the adults. Taylor Coleman, the Private Investigator that John had hired to reveal Margaret Miller's sexual indiscretions and also to expose the staff members of the North American Operations who had blackmailed James Stanton, the previous President and CEO of the company and hired assassins to kill James, had arrived with his girlfriend, an obvious swimsuit model. Taylor was thrilled that he was invited to the tropical paradise, and also wanted to thank John for hiring him into the legal arm of the company that was under the direction of Bobby Goldman. Taylor now had a staff of 20 investigators and support personnel to make sure that the company was safe from predators. His contacts around the United States, both legal and illegal, would play an important part in the future of the company. Tom & Judy Jeffries, longtime friends of John were on the same plane with Taylor and ran to hug John and Nicklas. They both loved John and knew he had saved the life of their son, Jamie from drowning and had also rescued Tom from financial disaster. Jamie ran to hug and kiss John and then watched his lover, Hunter Harwood do the same. The two teens were excited to get out of the snow and cold of Michigan to spend two weeks in what Nicklas had told them was a tropical paradise filled with horny boys with hard dicks. They were both wearing T-shirts and shorts and admitted to John that they froze their balls off in Detroit before they boarded the exotic jet. Nicklas asked his buddies to wait with him until more teen boys arrived for the vacation. Jeff and Karen Walker, parents of John's daughter-in-law, arrived with Johnny, Kirsty and Little John Miller. The toddler ran to his grandfather with his arms open and begged to be picked up. John hugged the young boy and gave hugs to all of his extended family. He had anticipated the arrival of his grandson and knew that Little John would be hungry, so John had a tray of snacks appropriate for a young boy waiting in the airport. "You're spoiling our son!" Johnny teased his father. "I hope you don't do the same with his sister." John, Jeff, and Karen looked at Johnny and Kirsty with shock on their faces. "What?" John asked. "What did I just hear about a sister for Little John?" "I'M PREGNANT!" Kirsty announced with glee. "We wanted to wait until today to tell the grandparents to get ready for another addition to our family. We're not sure, but the last ultrasound looked like something is missing between our baby's legs, so we're planning on a girl!" John was elated and hugged his son and daughter-in-law. It was fantastic news to hear that Kirsty was pregnant and he wanted to celebrate the joyous event. He used his cell phone to call back to his estate and ask the chef to bake a special cake in celebration of the exciting news. Little John grabbed for the snack food and stuffed his face before his parents could manage to drag him to the limo. The parents knew that the huge home would have plenty of food for a hungry small boy and joined Kirsty's parents in the limo. John hugged Nicklas and couldn't wait to find out the due date of his daughter-in-law. He wanted to plan a special celebration, but knew that the events planned for March 13th already included partying at the beach, a tropical luau with only appropriate dancers to the beat of the steel band, and an immense fireworks display. He decided that the plans were enough to celebrate the news of a new addition to the Miller family. Brad Martin, owner of Elite Taxidermy and his wife, Cathy arrived to join the island celebration. Brad was the host for entertaining customers on hunting and fishing trips and had hunted deer with John for many years. He would spend a week in Nassau and then would fly to New Zealand to entertain two customers on dream hunts. Brad's business had expanded and now was recognized around the world for mounting of exotic species of animals from every corner of the world. The same plane brought visitors from the Arrowhead Lake area in northern Michigan. Marty Wadsworth had been a carryout boy at the Spartan Stores grocery in Onaway, Michigan, now he and his father, Keith, were the caretakers of the 800 acre game reserve and lake. Ron Balcolm, a neighbor of the Arrowhead property was on the same plane with his wife, daughter and son, Toby. Toby and Marty were lovers and were thrilled to be invited to the tropics for two weeks of relaxation and fun. The boys greeted Nicklas, Jamie and Hunter and whispered about having another orgy like the one that they had shared at the lodge in northern Michigan. "We're gonna have some new meat," Nicklas whispered to Toby, Marty, Jamie and Hunter. "Zach said he was gonna bring his buddies!" "What about me?" Troy asked when he walked up to the scheming boys. Nicklas hugged his former boyfriend and introduced Troy Atkinson to his friends. "Troy and I were an item for a while, but we both decided to expand our options," Nicklas admitted. "This is his latest conquest, Jason Lewis. Jason is 12 and a real horn dog!" "Are you mad at me for being Troy's boyfriend?" Jason asked Nicklas. "Nope," Nicklas replied quickly. "Troy has great taste in boy flesh and I hope to get in your pants before we go back to Michigan and freeze our asses off." John was standing near the boys and heard most of what they were whispering to each other. He knew that teenaged boys were always horny and just decided to let the boys have fun. He had made sure that all of the teens were in one wing of his estate so they could have fun without disturbing any of the adults. In some ways he wished that he could be included when the teenaged boys released their hormones, but he knew that he would be entertaining the adults and would have Tiki and Maki sneaking into his bedroom when the evening festivities ended. John celebrated when another Sea & Jungle jet landed at the airport. He waited anxiously for the new arrivals to clear Customs before welcoming them to Nassau. Katelyn Albright ran up to John and gave him a hug and kiss, while her son and daughter waited their turns. Katelyn loved having a relationship with her biological father and wanted to celebrate the vacation with her children and her special "mother" Yolanda Washington and Yolanda's grandchildren. Zach Albright hugged his grandfather and then hugged Nicklas and the other boys waiting in the VIP Lounge. Zach introduced his buddies, Jimmy, Toby and Nathan, along with Yolanda's grandsons, Damian and Santeen. He whispered to his new friends that Damian and Santeen were straight and looking forward to nailing some Bahama Mama pussy, but Jimmy, Toby and Nathan were boy sluts who would bend over if someone kissed them. The boys all laughed and Nicklas promised to introduce Damian and Santeen to horny girls that he had met on previous visits to the island. John was happy to see the teens leave the airport while he waited for the arrival of the last plane of visitors. The Lear Jet had left Detroit late in the day after waiting for their main passenger who was arriving on a commercial flight from Paris, France. Butch Mendez came into the VIP Lounge with his wife, Elizabeth, sons, Robert and David and daughter, Samantha. He hugged his boss and friend and wanted to spend some quality time with John during the two week vacation. With his responsibilities for all security operations for the entire Sea & Jungle Company, Butch Mendez was accustomed to frequent flights around the world and looked forward to two weeks of rest. His specially trained security officers could handle any type of emergency, so Butch was ready to relax with his wife and children. When John was sure that all of his special guests had arrived, he jumped in the limo with Butch and the Mendez family for the trip to the gated community. Everyone in the limo had to show their passports or other forms of identification before the gate was opened. The entire area was under constant surveillance, especially areas where the high walls and fences were missing. John and Philippe had refused to put chain link fences along the beaches, mainly to preserve the natural beauty of the Bahamas. With so many guests arriving at different times, a buffet meal was provided along with an open bar. John knew that the horny teenaged boys would want to swap semen more than eat, so he had arranged for an endless supply of pizza and breadsticks along with tossed salads. He knew that Nicklas was in charge of the boy events and that his son would hold down the noise and make sure that no one was forced into any undesired sexual situation. John had a formal office in Nassau, but he also had a beautiful office attached to the master bedroom of his huge mansion. He sat in his office and sipped a Manhattan while he handled emails and phone calls. The email that John enjoyed the most was from Kvetka Paulikova at Proud Les Domov, the orphanage in the Czech Republic. John and Kvetka both were helping each other learn a different language. John wrote in Czech to Kvetka and she wrote in English back to him. They both corrected any mistakes without either adult taking offense. David Markov was teaching English and computer classes at the school in Ceska Skalisce, the village near the orphanage. John read Kvetka's email and was pleased to learn that everything was fine with the children and adults. John knew that the orphanage was at full capacity with 500 boys and girls and felt sad that so many children were unwanted by the rest of society. He wished that he could call Kvetka and talk to her, but the time difference would put his call into the orphanage at midnight. He didn't want to disturb the adults, knowing that phone calls in the middle of the night never brought good news. John walked to the bar in his office and started making another Manhattan when he heard a knock at the door. Saying "Come in" was immediately followed by a rush when Christina Karpov ran into the office and gave John a big hug and kiss. Christina had been a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model before joining the Sea & Jungle Company in Public Relations. John had heaped responsibilities on Christina and was astounded that she handled everything and asked for more. He had promoted her to Vice President of Public Relations and had given her two shares of stock in the company. "JOHN!" Christina exclaimed. "I was hoping that you'd be here for the Spring Break," John said while hugging the beautiful woman. "My entire family has been asking about you." "I just got back from Moscow," Christina said. "Our orphanage is open and children are coming in every day. We could open a thousand homes and it wouldn't be enough!" "It's sad that so many children are orphans," John said. "We'll expand our influence slowly so we don't create prisons like so many of the orphanages in Third World countries. Our company trusts you and your staff to make things go smoothly." "We now have 35 orphanages around the world and have made major contributions to buy equipment for hospitals in over 40 countries," Christina said. "I have a new video that I'm going to distribute to all of our operations around the world, but wanted you to see it first." "Let's go join the adults in the courtyard," John suggested. "The band will start playing soon, but most of the teens will have their own parties. I'm really happy that you're here for the vacation." Johnny Miller was talking to his in-laws and Kirsty had taken Little John to the nursery adjacent to their room. They were regular visitors to the mansion and knew that the security officers and maintenance staff would help take care of their son while they were at the informal evening party. He saw his father walking outside with Christina holding his father's hand, and loved seeing the two of them together. Johnny had talked to his father and knew that Nicklas was more than John's son. He knew that his mother, Margaret, had made life miserable for his father, and thanked God that she was no longer a part of his life. He and his father had never talked about how Margaret had threatened to kill Little John, except for one time when Johnny was in the hospital. He knew that his father had Mafia connections and also knew that Butch Mendez would kill to protect any member of the Miller family. He pushed aside all thoughts of his nasty mother and hurried to the doorway to hug both his father and Christina. John hugged his son and saw the tears in Johnny's eyes. He whispered to his son to find out what was wrong and was happy to hear that his son was shedding tears of joy for being with his father, Christina and all of the extended family. "You're the future of this company and I want you and your sister to see the new video that Christina brought here. It shows what our company's doing around the world." Johnny Miller called to all of the adults to invite them to watch the video on the huge outdoor HD screen. He held the hands of his father and sister, Katelyn Albright and wished that everyone in the world could be as happy as he was with his family. Philippe Ducharme had worked with Christina to prepare the video and hoped that John would approve of their efforts. The combined profits from the Sea & Jungle stores and World Wide Investments were being moved into the Miller-Zednik Foundation where the money funded orphanages, hospitals and emergency relief operations around the world. Philippe wished that his only son would take a more active part in changing the plight of the unfortunate. His initial concern about 20 million dollars missing was compounded when the auditors found another 100 million dollars that never made the transfer into the foundation. When the video started, all conversation among the boisterous crowd stopped suddenly and was replaced with silence and awe. Christina was the featured speaker and she explained how the profits of the Sea & Jungle Company were being funneled into the Miller-Zednik Foundation. She listed the countries where corrupt politicians demanded huge bribes before they would allow the foundation to take over or start new orphanages. The video showed the President of the United States, David Stoddard, speaking at the United Nations meeting on World Hunger Relief. The President's wife, Cathy Stoddard had appeared on several syndicated talk shows to put pressure on many foreign countries before her husband spoke to the United Nations. The double-barreled approach had worked, and Christina showed the startling results. At each orphanage that the Miller- Zednik Foundation had acquired, video footage had been taken to show the conditions before and after. John was pleased to see that all of the teenagers had abandoned their private parties when they heard about Christina's arrival and that she had a new video to show. Nicklas and Zach pushed their way into the crowd and each of them held one of John's hands while they watched the professional video. Each location where the foundation had taken over an existing orphanage had been filmed to show the living conditions of the unfortunate children. Dimly lit dormitories with rags for bedding were coupled with images of filthy children wearing rags and being provided slop that wasn't fit for a pig. The video showed the refurbishing efforts and the results were shocking when the sparkling clean faces of the children left no doubt that they were being properly fed. Drab dormitories were painted with murals by the children to decorate their private areas. Clean bedding and new clothing proved that the foundation was accomplishing miracles in many countries. The audience cheered loudly and Philippe had to turn up the volume on the video so everyone could hear Christina's message. "This video shows what we've accomplished in the last year, but we have much more to do in the future," Christina said on the video. She displayed a chart that showed the annual profits for the entire company and how much had been transferred to the Miller-Zednik Foundation. When she displayed the future goals of the foundation that showed expansion to fund over 200 orphanages and 300 hospitals, everyone stood and cheered. John walked up to the front of the crowd and hugged Christina when the video ended. He faced his family and friends and said, "I hired this beautiful lady to lead our company into the future. James Stanton, his father and grandfather, created this company and never compromised on quality. We have the opportunity to continue their quest to make our company the best in the world by giving back to the less fortunate. Let's give Christina a round of applause for what she's accomplished in a short period of time." The party went on into the night with the adults enjoying the warm Bahamas evening and the effects of the tropical drinks. John headed to his bedroom suite and knew that the horny boys were swapping sperm in the huge bedroom that Nicklas had claimed that was connected to his room. He could hear the laughter of the boys and went to bed alone. The holiday was starting out beautifully with family and friends together. When John woke up, he could still hear the boys in the next suite having fun. He would never intrude on their privacy and knew that Nicklas would never allow anyone to be forced to do anything sexual. He showered and headed for the buffet breakfast that he knew was waiting for him and his guests. It was a beautiful day on the island and the visitors were enjoying the warmth of the tropical sun and the natural beauty of the ocean. Several boats were used to take people fishing and the grouper and red snapper were cleaned and refrigerated while preparations were made for the evening luau. The guards at the front gate were surprised when the laundry truck arrived. It was unusual for Enrique to make a delivery when a party was in progress. "We had a flat tire yesterday so I decided to wait until today to pick up the soiled linens," Enrique lied. "I'll only be in the house a few minutes and then leave so I don't disturb their party." He signed the log sheet and drove down the long private road to the two largest homes on the entire island. Enrique was well known to all of the security officers. His uncle owned the largest laundry service in the islands and Enrique made all deliveries to the gated community. He smiled when he thought about earning $20,000 for delivering a surprise gift to John Miller. He didn't know what was in the two large laundry carts and knew that curiosity could cost him the lucrative deal. He drove the panel truck to the service entrance at the back of John Miller's home and rang the bell. Maria heard the service bell ring and went to the door. She was in charge of housekeeping for the estate and talked to Donovan in the kitchen before opening the door. Neither Maria nor Donovan knew of any scheduled delivery and wondered if someone had placed an emergency order for something needed for the evening luau. When they opened the door, they both criticized Enrique for the timing of his service call. They watched Enrique and Manuel push the two large laundry carts through the kitchen area and into the servants' office before returning to their own duties. Enrique and Manuel left the two laundry carts outside the private office of John Miller and collected bags of soiled linens and carried them to the truck. They had been told to wait in the truck until Robert Ducharme told them that it was time to leave. Nicklas found his father and admitted that his stomach was upset and that he had diarrhea. John was talking to Nicklas when Robert Ducharme, Philippe's son interrupted and said, "John, you have a phone call from Proud Les Domov. I had the call transferred to your home office." John thanked Robert and walked back to his home with Nicklas following along. Robert was thrilled that the boy was walking with John. Instead of dividing his resources, he would have both John and Nicklas together. The island bodyguards didn't suspect anything when they saw John Miller, his son, Nicklas, and Robert Ducharme walking across the huge yard. The entire gated community was alive with excitement, with children playing in the blue ocean or enjoying a variety of outdoor games. John walked into his office and was focused on the phone call from the orphanage. He hoped that nothing bad had happened since his last call to Kvetka Paulikova, the woman in charge. He never expected to be grabbed by an extremely strong man who was hiding behind the door. Before John could scream, a hypodermic needle was jammed into his neck and he collapsed. Nicklas was following his father into the office and tried to fight away from the man who was holding a cloth over his nose and mouth. The strong aroma quickly overpowered his senses and he collapsed. Robert went into the hallway and pushed the two laundry carts into John's office. He reached inside and tossed rolls of duct tape to his two accomplices and made sure that both John and Nicklas were immobilized and unable to alert anyone. Robert was excited that the first part of the intricate plan was working even better than he had dreamed. He walked next to the two laundry carts while his two accomplices pushed the carts towards the service door. When Robert saw two of the kitchen staff looking puzzled, he said, "You tell Enrique and his uncle that we won't tolerate any unscheduled deliveries again. Get these carts into the truck and I'll talk to Enrique myself." Robert was anxious when the two carts were outside. His heart was pounding and he was feeling light headed over the intensity of what he was doing. He knocked on the back door of the panel truck and waited for Enrique and Manuel to help get the laundry carts inside. "I need a ride into town with you to bring back a special surprise for the party tonight," Robert said to Enrique. "I don't want anyone to know that I'm leaving the party so I'll hide in back with the carts and my two friends." The guards at the front gate waved to Enrique when he stopped to sign out. They never suspected what the laundry truck contained. An hour passed before Philippe Ducharme started looking for John Miller. He wanted to finalize the plans for moving the party inside if it rained. The weather report said that there was a 50 percent chance of rain, and Philippe wanted everything to be perfect for the luau. When he couldn't find John, he used his cell phone to call Dante Jenkins, Head of Security for the gated community. "Dante, have you seen John Miller or his son, Nicklas?" Philippe asked excitedly. "Both of them were here about an hour ago, but we can't find them. I'm trying not to alarm John's family, but he's not answering his satellite phone." Dante Jenkins immediately put out an alarm to all of his security officers. He also contacted Butch Mendez and the Governor-General of the Bahamas. He hoped that John Miller and his son were off fishing or hiking, but decided to err on the side of safety in case something had happened to them. Derek Kaufman and Sue Nyquist were at the gated community and had helped search for John and Nicklas. They were both security officers from the United States and were technically on vacation, but they were both alarmed that no one could find John or Nicklas. Butch Mendez was in Chicago when he got the call from Dante Jenkins. He had left Nassau to meet with his former boss in Chicago and had planned on returning to Nassau that evening. He left the meeting with L. Brooks Hardison, Director of the FBI to take the call. He knew Dante would never call him unless it was an emergeny. "Butch here," Butch said when he was in the hallway of the hotel. His meeting with his former boss was important to help the FBI and INTERPOL fight drug importing through legitimate companies but he knew that Dante was watching over his boss and close friend. "We have a problem," Dante began. "John and Nicklas have disappeared, along with Robert Ducharme. We're searching the entire gated community, but so far we can't find any of them." "How long has it been since you saw any of them?" Butch asked. "About two hours," Dante admitted. "Robert, John and Nicklas were seen by many people walking from the beach to John's home. Some of the servants saw them headed toward John's office and that's the last anyone saw them." "John and Nicklas have a special relationship," Butch said. "Is it possible that they have just wandered away to spend some quality time together?" "My entire security force knows how to protect people without interfering in their private lives," Dante replied. "We know that none of them left the home, and we've searched every inch of the interior." Butch knew that John was wearing a special pendant that would trigger a beacon to a satellite if John put his thumbprint against the back of the medallion. "Let me put you on hold so I can check something," Butch said to Dante. Butch immediately called the security office at the North American Operations and asked Matt Steele to activate the tracking device. "No signal," Matt said after triggering the special tracking system. "Activate the Strike Teams!" Butch said without hesitation. "Destination is Nassau! I have a Lear Jet here and I'm leaving now!" Butch ran back into the conference room and told L. Brooks Hardison, known to his friends as Hardy, that he had an emergency. He pulled Hardy aside and whispered to him that he was afraid that his boss and friend was in danger, and had to leave for Nassau. "Let me know if I can help you in any way," Hardy said to Butch. He had always wanted Butch to take his position with the FBI when he retired, but now Butch was head of security for a hugely profitable company and was also a significant stock holder. During the flight to Nassau, Butch was in constant contact with his strike teams and his security officers on the island. "Bad news," Derek began. "There was a laundry truck that came through the front gates about the same time that John and Nicklas left the beach. The guards at the gate knew the driver, Enrique, and asked him why he was coming on the day of the luau. He said that he had a flat tire the previous day and needed to pick up the soiled linen." "Why is this significant?" Butch asked. "The local police just found the laundry truck with two DB's inside" Derek replied. "Preliminary ID is Enrique and his cousin, Manuel." "SHIT!" Butch exclaimed. "Someone has kidnapped John, Nicklas and Robert. Lock down the entire estate and don't let anyone in or out until I get there. I have three strike teams in the air right now and need Dante and you to grease the skids with the local law enforcement officials to let us in with assault weapons and special equipment. Hardy said that he'd help me, and I'll ask him to get us some air support. We're in deep shit right now, and I'm afraid that we'll lose both John and Nicklas before this is over." Stay tuned!!!
