*=Gone
but not forgotten
It was a dark and dreary day in Washington as the Nation prepared to honor our greatest of imps. Dale lay in state in the Rotunda of the Capitol where he had served for many years. As the pall bearers carried him from the Rotunda with a guard of honor leading the way… the rain stopped and the sky started to lighten. Dale’s flag draped coffin was placed on an open horse drawn caisson for the trip from the Capitol to the National Cathedral.
Security was beyond anything ever done before. Every armed member of the alphabet soup of governmental agencies was on duty in addition to the Army, Marines and members of the National Guard. The Cortege was led by a Guard of Honor carrying the American Flag, The Presidential Flag, The Congressional Flag, The Senate Flag, The Ambassador Flag, The Army Flag and the Alpha Zulu Flag. It truly was representative of the life and service Dale had given to our country.
Every branch of the military had a contingent in the funeral procession. Even the Coast Guard led by a female Commander, holder of the Coast Guard Cross and the only woman in the military entitled to wear the service ribbon of Alpha Zulu.
Nearly every head of state in the free world was in attendance including the Queen of England, her husband and the Prime Ministers of every member of the British Commonwealth. Every country of Western Europe was represented, even Russia and China sent high ranking delegates. As the TV commentators tried to list all the Dignitaries present it was much easier to say who was absent. (Duke insisted that North Korea be excluded from any representation.) The security services went into panic mode when Duke, his family, David and Date and their family, all the Worthingtons present… all exited their limousines and started to walk hand in hand in the funeral procession. At the center of their procession was our Cardinal Chaplain in full regalia. Almost immediately, the balance of the dignitaries exited their transportation and joined in the walk behind the caisson to the National Cathedral.
The security services went into “meltdown” as this presented a snipers perfect scenario to destroy so many leaders of the free world.
It was full Pomp and Circumstance as the Marine Band provided the music outside of the Cathedral and the Great Organ filled the edifice with music for the funeral of the century for those in attendance and via media to people around the world. Every media provider in the world carried the service live.
The service was staged perfectly as it should be for this great man. Date, as President of the United States, gave the eulogy. His staff watching nearly passed out when he folded the speech that had been prepared for him and started to talk from his heart. In the seven minutes he took to praise the life of Dale Gordon Longdick-Allman… was truly more representative of the man than the 20 minutes dialogue prepared for him by his staff.
Our Cardinal Chaplain gave the homily and finally the funeral mass was concluded. Internment was for family and close friends only. There would be a reception at the White House given by Date and David and a reception in the Marriott Ballroom given by the Worthingtons.
Dale had requested not to be buried at Arlington. He was a President of the people and like his “hero” Gerald Ford he wanted to be buried at his Presidential Library and Museum. Dale, David and the architects worked wonders to create a quiet place for reflection and meditation at the end of his Presidential Museum and overlooking the waters of the Potomac (being proactive of his eventual funeral). The walls of the alcove were lined with Carrera Marble and in the center was a bronze life size statue of the centerfold of Dale and Duke which had raised so much money for orphaned children and declared to the world the love they had for each other. David had his artisans make two life size bronze statues of the duo lovers. The one on public display in the funeral crypt replaced Duke’s pillow with a more conservative “fig leaf”. The one made for the meditation garden at Fort Connor showed Duke in his full glory with his naked lover standing behind him.
Dale was gently placed in his mausoleum with a simple Marble plaque listing the offices he held and the honors he had received. The setting was simple but eloquent with the finishing touch being an eternal flame burning before the bronze statue of Dale and Duke. Duke had made it well known to the Pentagon he was to be buried beside Dale and not at Arlington.
Precisely at 12 noon every bell of every church in Washington and the majority of Churches in the United States resounded throughout the land. The bells in every church in every major city in the world joined in as a final salute to this great American.
Russia gave Dale a high honor of a full military funeral procession before the Russian Dignitaries atop of the Kremlin wall with the American Ambassador in attendance. In addition to the Bells of the Kremlin pealing for one minute, they were followed by a 21 gun salute by military artillery field guns.
In Beijing a minute of silence was asked of all citizens followed by a fireworks display of the magnitude not seen since they hosted the Olympic games.
In Jerusalem Ari and his family said a prayer at the Wailing Wall to honor their friend and a man who helped to save the nation of Israel.
The final touch to Dale’s resting place in his Presidential Library and Museum was David raising the funds to build a walking bridge over a small tributary of the Potomac connecting his crypt (and Presidential Library and Museum) to the Alpha Zulu Museum. Dale was an imp that had a life of duty and service any future imp would be challenged to match.
It was so beautiful to watch the flags of the organization Dale had represented blowing gently in the breeze. The landscaping was beyond beautiful and the benediction given by our Cardinal Chaplin was truly worthy of this great man.
The Pope said a special mass for Dale Gordon Longdick-Allman but it always seemed the words of our Cardinal Chaplain outshined the words of his “boss”. Both men held Dale in high esteem and praised him publicly for all the accomplishments the world could currently know. Many of us believe the light rain falling was from the tears of an impish angel named Roger who was also in mourning at the loss of this great man.
It would be over 50 years before Dale’s papers were declassified and the world was to learn how this young imp prevented World War III multiple times and prevented a new outbreak of a Civil War in the United States. Those of us who knew of Dale’s accomplishments knew he deserved his rest and eternal peace. Dale had done more in service to the citizens of the United States and the countries of the World than the combined efforts of every President who preceded him. Dale left a standard for which to compare all who would walk in his footsteps.
Finally, the day came to an end and Duke entered a lonely and quiet home. Pouring himself a double neat “Nectar of the God’s” there was a quiet knock at the door. Opening the door, he found Dale’s Supreme Court assistant with a secure package for him. He apologized for the intrusion, but he had been requested by Dale to deliver this package after his funeral. He also had two other packages, one for the President and one for the Secretary of Defense.
Duke sat at his desk, placed his drink on the desktop and took his service firearm from his gun vault. He didn’t know how he would live without Dale or if he wanted to live without Dale. Time to face reality as he slipped the DVD into his computer. Almost immediately was the smiling face of the man he loved. Dale was blunt and to the point and the first thing he told Duke was to put his gun back in the gun safe. It wasn’t a request it was an order. Failure to comply would result in Dale sending a little guy by the name of Roger down to kick his ass all the way to the pearly gates. “And, for God’s sake, NO MOONSHINE tonight!”
Dale became concerned and conciliatory telling Duke they would be together for all eternity when it was his time for them to be joined back together. We have had 60 wonderful years together and I have never regretted any minute of being your partner. You have so much of your life left to live and to contribute to our country. The DVD I’m having delivered to POTUS simply states for the two of you to get together and figure out how you can be of service to our country. You stood at my side and helped me in every way possible during my ten years in the Oval Office. You served the next two Presidents for an additional total of sixteen years. You have more knowledge of the Presidency than any man in history. You are a member of the “brain trust” that would be an invaluable asset to any President.
My backup plan is to send a DVD to Jimmy as Secretary of Defense to bring you back to active service if Plan #1 didn’t motivate you. The last thing I want is you hanging out alone in our townhouse mourning me. You have too much to share with others.
I have talked with Angus on numerous occasions about the scenario if I were to die before you. Expect him to deliver a portfolio of children in need for you to select a new son and if you want to honor me you can change his name to Dale Gordon Strong. You have 200+ “brothers” in Alpha Zulu that will help you to raise him to a fine young man.
At a respectful time of 1000 hours Duke was awakened to a knock on his townhouse door. Opening the door to the smiling face of Angus, Duke welcomed him in and excused himself to become more presentable. Advising Angus, Dale had already warned him last night to expect your visit so I expect you have a number of heart wrenching history portfolios of abused and neglected children for me to read. Angus gave Duke the package of potential children to adopt and recommended he sit down with T&T or Jimmy and Hito so he wasn’t alone when he read these horror stories. They both are expecting you for a late brunch so you have time for a quick shower and their limo and security detail will be here to collect you.
As Angus greeted the security detail, he excused himself and told them Duke was getting presentable and would be ready in a few minutes. Finally, everyone congregated in T&T’s Great Room, where the concept and development of Alpha Zulu occurred compliments of “Mama Bear”. (The Worthington Penthouse would always be considered as the “birthing place” of Alpha Zulu.)
All five men were in tears reading the horror stories of the lives of these five boys. T&T and Jimmy would be ganging up on POTUS to be the guest speaker for the Worthington Foundation yearly fund raiser. There was such a need to help abused and deserted children.
After two pots of strong black coffee the consensus was on a young man who faced the most difficult chance for adoption. He had neither the physique or interest to excel at athletics and was too young to know what his aptitude was as far as his contribution to the “brain trust”. Duke assured everyone this young man would know the love of a family and the lifetime security of Alpha Zulu.
Immediately following their late brunch there was a knock at the door and a military aide entered conveying the compliments of the President and asking General Stone to join him for dinner at 1900 hours tonight. General Stone acknowledged the request and advised the messenger of his attendance.
Duke brought up Angus on the com and advised him of the young man he had selected. Angus would have the paperwork prepared and forward for his electronic signature. Angus assured Duke it would only be days before he would again be a father.
The next evening the limousine arrived to transport Duke to the White House and the Secret Service escorted him to the third floor residence. POTUS warmly greeted him and informed him David would be joining them for the evening. Date was honest when he told Duke any President would have to be a super idiot not to want and appreciate you on their team. You have the job as a Presidential Assistant with full access to me 24/7. (A privilege few enjoy!) But, I won’t offer the position to you for a few weeks as you have a new son in your life and you’ll need a month to get him settled in. Anything David and I can do to help you only need ask. The full resources of Alpha Zulu are at your disposal.
I talked with SecDef (Jimmy) today and as of 0001 hours tomorrow you are back to full time active status as a five star General assigned to the White House as my aide. I’m not looking for a “YES” man, I want your frank and honest comments even if it is to tell me I am wrong. I’m not a politician and whatever guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciate.
Now, dinner won’t be as good as a meal at the Marriott, but I hope you’ll enjoy the company to help compensate for the White House cuisine. (The aged 20 year old single malt Scotch definitely helped to make a mellow and enjoyable evening for all.)
Exiting the residence, the head of the secret service detail gave Duke his permanent White House credentials and welcomed him aboard as part of the team. Duke sincerely hoped this wasn’t a love/hate relationship in their future.
Duke briefly settled into his limousine and headed for his townhouse when T&T contacted him and invited him to their Penthouse for the evening. Not to anyone’s surprise Angus was there with his partner and both were smiling far too much. “Welcome to fatherhood… you meet your new son at 1030 hours tomorrow. A Limo will pick you up at your residence at 0700 hours and transport you to the orphanage. “Congratulations DAD!”
Duke held out his glass and asked for a refill… and make it a double. Being a single parent would be a new challenge in his life and one he hoped he was ready to face.
The administrator of the orphanage warmly greeted Duke and escorted him to his office. Offering him some coffee they chatted briefly about the young man about to become his son and the challenges Duke would be facing. He really feels inferior, he is terrible at sports and has poor interpersonal relations with any of his peers. He needs a strong father figure to give him some confidence and believe he truly does have a FOREVER FAMILY.
As the administrator walked Duke into the garden, to meet his son the young man was in tears. He felt Duke wouldn’t want such an insecure kid as he and one so inept at sports. Roger had spent the night telling him how great Duke was and that he truly was lucky to have such a man as his father. As much as the children of the orphanage trusted Roger our young orphan still felt very inferior.
As the young man and Duke sat and talked the tears turned to sniffles and finally he could hold his head high and start to believe what Roger had been telling him. Duke promised no one would ever hurt him again and he would have a family of 200+ military brothers who would protect him with their lives. You are my son to love and protect for as long as I am upon this earth. The child wrapped his arms around Duke and started to believe he truly have been given a new life and a FOREVER FAMILY.
As the staff went to pack up his belongings, Duke was in the administrators office signing a mountain of paperwork. He asked for a 90 days temporary placement and then they would return to the orphanage for a review by their staff and their recommendation as to a permanent placement.
Exiting the orphanage and being met by an armed security detail was a shock to our young orphan. This was just the beginning of the adjustment he would be making in his life before his 90 day trial expired. They got settled in their limo and Duke’s com went off. Jimmy congratulated our new father and son and invited both for dinner in the Penthouse. (Of course T&T would never turn down a free meal so it was a dinner for 6 and possibly 8 if Angus and his partner crash the party.
T&T was assigning an Executive Services detail to Duke till he was done with all his shopping and helping his new son get adjusted to his life. Duke knew arguments were futile and simply thanked his good friends for their kindness. Hito volunteered to help in shopping with Duke and his Son as this was a new experience for Duke and Hito had become an old pro in knowing what a young man needed.
One of the first necessities was for Doc to chip his son and everyone could breath easier if anything were to happen. Duke wasn’t in the spotlight yet so hopefully not in the crosshairs of any person or group. Being proactive in protection is always the best policy.
Roger had told his son that Doc gives a mean shot but it is necessary to protect you. Just drop your pants, man up and it won’t hurt for long. Before the 90 day trial period was up Duke turned to his son and had a most serious discussion. How do you feel if we change your name when your adoption is final. I want to name you after my former partner and one of the most famous imps and Americans of our time… Dale Gordon Longdick-Allman. I’d like you to be my son: Dale Gordon Strong. His son grasp his waist in tears knowing he was truly loved by this great man. (Just wait till he meets POTUS and David and really learns what it is like to be spoiled!)
Alpha Zulu had a quiet life other than some impish mischief which is normal and to be expected. Nothing a good swat on a bare back side couldn’t correct and loss of privileges of the rec room and laser tag games. (There were always the mess hall garbage cans to polish when severe behavior management was required.) The men and officers of Alpha Zulu were having far too easy of a life and if they only knew this was the quiet before the storm they probably would have opted for an early retirement.
Duke had his first challenge as a parent when he was soundly sleeping one night and he felt a warm body against his and his penis being massaged to the point he was ready to explode. He suddenly realized Dale was no longer with him and by default it had to be his son. Trying to keep his balls from exploding and not traumatizing his son, he held him securely, kissed him and told him sex wasn’t necessary for him to be loved. Duke didn’t care if his son was straight, gay or bi he just wanted his son to have a normal and enjoyable sex life. Having sex with his father wasn’t acceptable or necessary. I know you did many things to survive when you lived on the street. Just hug me, cuddle with me, kiss me even…, Just seeing you smile fulfills the needs I have in my life. Be the best person you can be, get the best grades possible and we’ll try to help you to have the best life and future possible.
(Duke was truly a successful parent on his first attempt to help his son on the road to sexual maturity.) His new son slept securely in his arms and Duke was starting to know the joy of being a parent.
As Hito and his security detail was traveling from the airport to the Penthouse suddenly a young boy ran out of an alley directly into the side of his armored vehicle. The child bounced off the vehicle and lay semiconscious in the street. Hito immediately disregarded his security detail and comforted the injured boy. An adult male emerged from the shadows and comment the boy was his and for Hito to remove his hands from his property. Asking the young boy if this was his father, the young terrified child stated the man was his pimp. He was trying to beat him for not turning enough tricks that night.
As the pimp pulled a gun to reinforce his demands, he quickly found out the major mistake he just made. Every man present brandished an Uzi and when two mini guns popped from the escort vehicles the man soiled himself. “You can have the kid… he isn’t worth getting shot.” The young man sobbed the man had his brother and Hito quickly took control of the situation.
This pimp was informed four security personnel would escort him to where ever he was holding the young boys brother and he would relinquish the young man to them. Failure to comply would result in retribution of your worse nightmares and equal to the inquisition of old Europe. I also suggest you find a new occupation because if I learn of you pimping out another child your balls will be hanging from your ears. Now, take us to this child’s brother and pray he is healthy and unharmed because if not you may find yourself becoming a eunuch.
Within minutes the injured boy’s brother joined him in Hito’s armored vehicle and they proceeded to the Penthouse. Both boys were in culture shock at the opulence of the home and the kind nature of Hito and Jimmy. Time for Angus to pay for some of those free meals he has enjoyed.
Getting Angus and his partner out of bed, they were asked to join the group at the penthouse as soon as possible. Explaining the situation to Angus it was an all too often occurrence where the system failed and the foster parents were only interested in the monthly check and not the welfare of the child. Hito turned to Jimmy and asked him how he felt about knocking him up again. Jimmy only smiled and commented he hoped the two young men wanted to become part of their family.
Angus knew enough friendly judges that getting a temporary placement with Hito and Jimmy for the two teenagers wouldn’t be a difficult problem. The question which everyone was thinking… how to explain to these young boys what would await them if they wanted to join this family. Hito and Jimmy had to smile when the older boy commented he’d suck cock but nothing was going up his ass. Touch my brother and I’ll cut off your balls.
Jimmy and Hito tried to explain and as hard as it was for our two young men to believe their only objective was to help them and provide them with the best future possible. Perhaps we have a friend that can convince you of our sincerity. Bringing up David on his com Jimmy asked if it was possible for POTUS and David to stop by for a short family visit tomorrow morning. It was extremely urgent and he wanted the meeting to be impromptu.
A warm meal, hot shower and a good nights sleep did wonders for the two young boys. Housekeeping did their best in cleaning their dirty clothing but it was better than meeting POTUS naked but not even that would deter POTUS from being a honest man with any imp.
A knock at the door of the Penthouse announced the arrival of POTUS and David. The boys were in shock recognizing the man who entered the room. “Are you really the President of the United States?” YUP, and I hope you won’t hold it against me. The two men who are offering you an unimaginable future are my sons and I personally welcome you into our family if you want to join. Two young men burst into tears of happiness and we knew Hito and Jimmy had a new family to nurture and help to become productive members of society.
Our two new family members stifled a tear as they rubbed their hip after their visit with Doc. If their blood panel came back negative Doc had no need to see them unless they had a future problem. As for now, Jimmy and Hito wanted the children to live with them in the Penthouse until they had a bond of trust that couldn’t be lost.
David told Hito and Jimmy to take their sons shopping and put in all on the corporate platinum card. Just don’t buy out the store and remember they will outgrow everything in the next six months. Just let them be sharp looking teenagers when I see them next time.
After a trip to our friendly tailor and buying out the clothing store Hito reminded the boys to thank their “Grandpa David” for all the gifts we bought today. We hope you’ll want to stay with us because we love you and not because of what is bought for you. Nothing is expected in return except for you having the best life and future possible.
Both children were in tears as they hugged and kissed Jimmy and Hito. Jimmy would have to return to his role as SecDef in the morning and Hito would take over as the father figure in their lives. Wait till they find out their brother is a member of the imperial family of Japan. Then they will have culture shock.
Duke, Hito and Jimmy decided their sons would be home schooled for the first year and make frequent trip to Fort Connor and meet the men of Alpha Zulu and hopefully want to live with their fellow imps in residence. It wouldn’t be forced on them but definitely encouraged. Everyone was surprised that even with Duke’s new son testing well below his age group academically his tests showed his ability to be that equal to his namesake and truly a future member of the Worthington Brain Trust.
Jimmy and Hito’s sons also tested well below the age norms academically but their tests showed potential for college and definitely a member of the Brain Trust also. No pressure would be put on them other than to enjoy school and do their best. We all knew the curriculum would be adjusted to meet the needs of each student.
Duke, Hito and Jimmy were attending a reception at the White House when suddenly the wrist coms went off in silent mode and the three men excused themselves to a secure area. OPS advised there was an armed intrusion at the Penthouse and shots had been fired. All three fathers went into panic mode. A police motorcade escorted them to the Marriott where they found the Executive Entrance to be bullet riddled with blood and body parts everywhere. The private elevator looked like something out of a horror movie. The hallway between the two Penthouses was strewn with bodies with blood everywhere and most of the hallway destroyed and would take weeks to be repaired.
Entering the Penthouse, security personnel were at the entrance to the Panic room and only four people could unlock the room. Date, David, Jimmy or Hito. Entrance once it is locked down required a ten character pass code, a palm print, an iris scan and a DNA sample. Only when all four matched would the security door open. As designed, a major armed response would occur before any hostile could breech the panic room.
Hito noticed one of the deceased in the hallway was the man who was pimping his sons on the street. Two kids were worth this level of destruction? Something was wrong. Jimmy asked T&T to have an inter-agency complete review of all the fatalities to see if it would show why this happened. At the moment, the priority of all three fathers was getting their sons into a hot shower, dry underwear, and a good night of sleep.
Duke spent the night with Hito and Jimmy and when their sons rose in the morning they spent most of the day clutching a father. (Frankly, I couldn’t blame them.) It became more clear when the DNA results came back showing the two sons of Hito and Jimmy had a family DNA match to one of the last remaining Columbian Drug Lords. Relocating their sons to Fort Connor and the protection of Alpha Zulu now became a priority. The fathers just needed to do it with the least possible trauma to their sons.
At the moment, their concern was keeping their sons in the Penthouse till the blood and body parts were removed by the HazMat teams. It would take weeks for the damage to the Marriott entrance, elevator and hallway to be done. (Back to the old days of service elevators and the wonderful smell of garbage cans.)
As Jimmy got settled into his office at the Pentagon he brought up the new Alpha Zulu Generals for a personal conference. As Alpha Zulu went to full alert when the intrusion occurred at the Penthouse the Generals were well aware of the events of last night. “HOW CAN WE HELP?”
Duke, Hito and I will be flying into Fort Connor tomorrow for a few days and we need the help of you and your team to show our sons the advantages of living as part of Alpha Zulu. They are young but they have plenty of street smarts. Don’t do an “over kill” because it won’t work with them.
Duke and Hito spent two weeks with their sons at Fort Connor, Jimmy had to return to the battles of the Pentagon after a few days. Their three sons loved the men of Alpha Zulu and bonded quicker than most imps who have been forced into protective custody. Jimmy and Hito were certain that Grandpa David would show his appreciation to the men of Alpha Zulu in a more tangible way.
The last weekend the fathers and imps were together at Fort Connor they had a major heart to heart chat. The Panic Room was secure but the imps could hear the gunfire and feel the explosions the night of the incursion. They realized how secure Fort Connor was and they were told it was designed to protect special imps such as yourself.
We fathers are not deserting you, we’ll be here more than you want once you start to meet the men and bond with them. Just think of them of 200+ brothers that will lay down their lives for you because they did for us and will for you if necessary. And if you need someone to talk with there is always the Chaplain or Doc and we fathers are as close as the coms you will be given.
Just video conference with us frequently so we can watch you grow into the men destined for greatness.
Yes, Fort Connor and Alpha Zulu had a new enemy with more money than brains and precisely the reason Mama Bear designed and built the Alpha Zulu program. We all said a silent prayer of thanks to her and she smiled down upon us from heaven.
Date with David at his side served two terms (8 years) as President and restored our country to its former glory. Yes, there had to be a good balance between social programs and a strong military. Date accomplished that goal.
Duke served Date all eight years and the next President asked him to stay on so his knowledge could be utilized. Duke truly was a member of the Brain Trust and every POTUS wanted to tap such a valued resource. Duke served the nation till the time a little impish angel named Roger took his hand and led him to his eternal rest and into the arms of his eternal partner Dale.
Full military honors were rendered to this great General as he was laid to rest next to Dale at his Presidential Museum and Library. Dale and Duke’s grotto was the #1 attraction visitors to Washington wanted to see. Both Dale and Duke were loved by the people of our great nation.
Date and David finally retired to their Virgin Island retreat and enjoy over a decade together and when the time arrived for their eternal rest they died in each others arms knowing the love they shared was for all eternity. The family couldn’t mourn the passing of these two great men… they deserved the peace of a heavenly eternal rest and the love they shared for each other.
T&T remained at the helm of the Worthington Empire and led it to many fantastic projects. T&T were proud “parents” the day they asked Date, David, Jimmy, Hito, Duke, The Joint Chiefs and the Alpha Zulu Commanding Generals to join them at the Worthington Air Field. They wanted to show off their newest project for the United States Military.
As the loudspeakers announced to the dignitaries assembled: “Alpha Zulu Actual requesting permission to land” the control tower challenged their authorization. T&T immediately authorized the landing as they didn’t want their ten year project blown out of the sky. As four fighter jet escorted a behemoth larger than a football or Soccer field, it passed over the airfield to the amazement of all the dignitaries present. Everyone was in shock when it returned, hovered over the field and slowly descended until it had landed.
T&T had purchased the rights to the Harrier technology from the British and the design rights of the Antonov An-225 combining them with the eight new high efficient Rolls-Royce engines. Equipped with eight engines they had sufficient thrust to travel at Mach-2 and also have VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) in an opening the size of a football field. The “skin” of the behemoth flying billboard for the Army was a new composite material which allowed this massive “bird” to have the radar image of a small Cessena.
In addition, this project kept all the members of the Worthington Brain Trust employed and active on a challenging project. Yes, the cost was a major hit to the corporate bottom line but was an investment in the future of the corporation and of our country.
Physically, this was the largest Jet Airplane ever built. It had three levels, the top level being the flight deck which held a Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator and Fire Control Officer. The four officers were cross trained and could replace each other if ever necessary.
The main level held the communications area, galley, general seating, spacious executive seating and two private offices for the Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu.
The bottom deck could hold two “beasts”, multiple security vehicles including security transport with concealed top mounted mini guns. In addition to the 200 seating capacity on the primary level (Which could be used for Alpha Zulu security) the bottom deck could also hold an additional 200+ ancillary/support personnel if needed and/or additional supplies.
The Plane’s galley could serve meals if necessary for an around the world trip. Not the quality of the Marriott or the White House but nutritious and far superior to MREs (Meals Ready to Eat).
The tail section could be lowered and the plane was totally unloaded and components operational within five minutes of landing. Passenger ramps extended from the plane’s main level in addition to the tail section so little outside support was required for it to land other than a clearing sufficient in size.
Each wing held three tankers of aviation fuel which when fully loaded would allow the plane to fly around the world without needing to be refueled. It also had mid-air refueling capabilities. Every major system of the plane had been reinforced and “hardened” for safety. Even flying at Mach-2 it was more fuel efficient than any plane currently flying, commercial or military.
And, the plane had teeth. Forward mounted gun/missile pods (one on each side of the plane) could be lowered as well as a 50 cal “chain gun” and a third generation Mini Gun. Rear mounted gun/missile pods could deploy missiles and also had a concealed Mini Gun that could be used. The gun pods could fire air to air missiles and the plane also had defensive chaf as well as new experimental laser for both defense and offense. The plane also had a top mounted and belly mounted mini gun which could be run in an automatic defensive mode not requiring any action on the part of the Fire Control Officer after he activated the system. (Now the need for a fire control officer became apparent.)
The flight crew had been training on a simulator for over a year while the plane was being built. The avionics of the plane were second to none and a hardened computer system could fly and land the plane itself if necessary.
As you can see from the “Army Green” colors selected for the Plane, the upper body showing “United State Army” on the fuselage, the lighted American Flag on the tail fin and the Flag of Alpha Zulu and the six star emblem of our Generals on the lower body of the plane...
This plane is a gift of the Worthington Corporation and the Worthington Family to the Alpha Zulu program to protect current and future imps protected by these brave soldiers. The crowd erupted in applause and praise. T&T were proud fathers of a mega plane, the largest in the world.
T&T were giving guided tours for hours but even the Pentagon brass and POTUS were denied access to the flight deck. They could view it digitally in the simulator but no one other than the flight crew would ever access it physically.
The Commanding Generals were in shock that T&T would do so much, invest so much of their own money to benefit the imps that Alpha Zulu protected. They failed to recognize that T&T were once imps that Alpha Zulu protected with their lives.
POTUS immediately sent the Generals on a World goodwill tour and frankly the world was impressed with United States technology and Worthington Industries. Our government ordered two models of this plane, an executive model and a military model without all the glitz and comforts. (Figures, doesn’t it.) Once production was established one plane could be “rolled out” every 3-4 weeks. (Another “NO BID” contract for Worthington Industries.)
Jimmy and Hito had a life long friendship with T&T and the family considered themselves as one. It was always difficult at the holidays splitting time between Fort Connor and Camp Phoenix but as always, the imps of the clan were spoiled and in the holiday spirit. Not every present is required to be expensive if it is given from the heart. A hug or kiss from the heart of an imp always fulfilled the need of any soldier of Alpha Zulu.
The two family always considered themselves as one and even being separate and independent just knowing the power these two families held terrified many governmental agencies. In countless congressional hearing the family continually pledged to divest any entity that could be shown not to work in the best interest of the country and the proceeds of the sale given to charity. Yes, both families were honorable and continued the honor of their family names.
As our small frail imp named Roger looked down upon the earth his heart was sad that he couldn’t experience all that was done by imps his age. Roger was precious with his round “Owl” glasses and bug eyes and an imp everyone just wanted to hold, cuddle and kiss. Mama Bear loved him the minutes she saw him and has vowed he would always be her son. Luke and John accepted and loved Roger as their brother. Roger was special to everyone he ever met.
Suddenly, Roger felt a warmth fill his body and a voice from above asking: “What troubles you my son”? God new the answer and he also knew he had for too long deprived Roger of the recognition he deserved for all he did for adults and imps. Suddenly, Roger’s body started to grow and everyone was astonished. Roger now was more beautiful than Michelangelo’s David. Roger was wrapped in the whitest of robes and the wings given to him by God were of the whitest white and larger than the wings of the Archangels.
Roger heard the word of God in his mind… “For your faithful service you may one night each month return to the earth in human form and enjoy the life of a mortal.” Roger was in shock at the great gift given to him. Thanking God and pledging his eternal life to the service of mankind, like any new angel after first receiving his wings he was airborne showing off his acrobatic abilities to all who would watch.
Finally, exhaustion and reality overtook him and he returned to the firmament of heaven and wrapped his arms and wings around Mama Bear thanking her for being the best mother any imp could have. Mama Bear beamed with pride and only held Roger tight, kissed him and affirmed he would always be part of her family.
As his family gathered to celebrate the newest Guardian Angel of the heavens… Roger now knew why God had put so many challenges before him in life. Roger always put the needs of the many before the needs of the one. In his heart Roger truly desired to help others.
When your life is challenging and you feel all alone… you have that feeling of someone being with you in that empty room… you feel a presence around you… you feel a warmth envelope your body… then you know a Guardian Angel by the name of Roger is with you to help you in this traumatic moment in your life.
Roger never stopped thanking God for making him a full fledge Guardian Angel. His eternal life was dedicated to helping other and Roger truly was a former imp equal in stature to Dale.

First, let me thank all the individuals for their kind words of support and encouragement in writing Alpha Zulu. My goal when starting this store was for it to only be five chapters. As you can see, it has grown beyond my wildest imagination and only through your encouragement.
This story has been self-serving as it has helped to rid me of some of my demons accumulated during my life and from e-mails received the same has been shared by many readers.
I have not yet decided whether to end this saga or to continue with additional chapters. That decision will only be made through comments by you the reader.
I truly hope you the readers have enjoyed Alpha Zulu 69 as much as I have writing it. I thank you for all the words of support you have give me throughout this “labor of love”.
