"OPS, we are under fire from hostiles. We have men down, requesting immediate support and backup from civilian and military assets."
Words that send terror through the heart of any father when their child is being protected by others. Even knowing the skills and weapons available to their security detail we also knew recently our old foe the Biker Gang seemed to be well armed with military grade weapons.
As base MPs and our personal security rushed us into a secure bomb proof underground bunker as protocol dictates, we wanted to escape as fathers and be with our children to protect them. Even trusting the men of Alpha Zulu, we only hoped assistance could swiftly arrive.
Within minutes of the ALERT special forces soldiers were aboard Apache gunships and headed to the main beach. As civilians ran for their rooms and cowered in the hotel the only ones remaining on the beach were the hostiles and our Alpha Zulu men. As the gunship laid down a massive amount of cover fire as the special forces soldier aboard descended upon ropes to assist our Alpha Zulu soldiers. Both Steven and Shawn were hit by small arms fire and were in dire condition. As this information was relayed to one of the gunships, it landed under heavy fire and the medics performed a miracle loading them aboard as the pilot then raced to the nearest trauma center.
As soon as I heard both Steven and Shawn were injured, I was on my com demanding immediate access to POTUS. To hell with protocol, unlock us and get us to the damn hospital or consider this my resignation from any "Brain Trust"! POTUS reluctantly gave the order for us to be released and transported to the hospital under an unbelievable amount of Special Forces protection. This hospital immediately was locked down and the officer in charges simply stated if anyone had any problems to contact the President at the White House. He is the only one who can overrule me.
Talking with the trauma surgeons caring for our sons we learned both children had received chest wounds and were in guarded condition. Both young men would be headed to surgery as soon as they were stabilized in the Emergency Department and more would be known after the bullets were removed.
Once T&T heard Steven and Shawn had been injured, they were aboard their corporate jet with a military priority flight to Hawaii. In the air they conferenced with the Chief Medical Officer of the hospital simply stating whatever he needed, whoever he needed, this is the number to call and the individual will be in a supersonic jet to Hawaii faster than one can finish their cup of coffee.
The Worthington Industries and Worthington Foundation support of the military and especially hospitals that serve the military were well known throughout the medical community. The medical director gave credence to the offer made by T&T and considered it as a viable option if and when needed.
The hospital personnel, patients, visitors and everyone in the hospital were greatly upset by the demands made on them by the special forces detail assigned for security. There was no negotiating it was their way or you may be leaving the hospital in a body bag. "We are not here to make friends, we are here to protect two precious imps from any further harm!"
Considering two six star Generals had been assassinated in a military hospital and multiple attempts upon Alpha Zulu personnel had been made in hospitals this lock down was to the extreme and dictated by POTUS. POTUS personally notified the officer in charge of the security detail at the hospital: "If your security is breached and one of our people injured further expect an immediate transfer to Alaska for the balance of your contract".
After eight hours of surgery and the Medical Director begging for more blood from T&T, even he was shocked when within the hour over 150 military personnel lined up to donate blood. It made the difference in the survival of Shawn and Steven.
It took POTUS to authorize the base Chaplain to cross through the security to attempt to help our traumatized fathers. Commenting he was sorry he didn't have the opportunity to meet us at the General's reception, but he would be honored if we would pray with him now.
Yes, Roger was on duty and after a few touch and go moments in surgery and recovery the doctors advised us fathers if Steven and Shawn survived the next 48 hours they should make a full recovery. Asking Doc at Fort Connor to review the medical records of our sons we wanted an independent second opinion from someone we trusted with our lives.
Doc agreed with the hospital trauma surgeons and we would just have to wait out the 48 hours and pray that Roger was on duty to help our sons through this ordeal.
The base chaplain couldn't understand who or what Roger was but he did believe in the power of prayer. We distraught fathers were either in deep meditation or pacing the halls. Finally, T&T arrived and told us to get horizontal and some sleep or he would have the doctors sedate us. We look at the demeanor of our good friends and knew they weren't joking. As soon as our heads hit the pillows in the adjoining room, we were unconscious for over 14 hours. Waking in terror of how long we had slept T&T assured us the best medical care was being provided and our kids were real fighters. They are not out of the woods, but they are showing improvement.
Finally, we fathers realized we had a security detail that was under fire at the time our sons were injured. What is their status. There were a few individuals that had "through and through" wounds but they would make a full recovery. A number of individuals had sustained some nasty impact wounds from bullets hitting their ceramic body armor but other than being super sore were fine.
The military would be sweeping the beach for unexploded ordnance for over a week which had the hotel management screaming at the military. The Base General calmly said: Would you feel better if one of your guests accidently set off some ordnance and ended up in pieces covering your precious beach. I guarantee you would lose more reservations that what you currently are. Next time provide your guest with better security.
Finally, 72 hours after leaving post op, Shawn and Steven were conscious and conversive. Dad's I never thought I'd ever say this but get me back to Fort Connor and into Medical with Doc. We assured them as soon as they could be transported they would be aboard the "Flying Palace" and we would have a military escort all the way back to Fort Connor.
Our Biker Gang was indeed responsible for this shootout and with no central command authority it was a segmented group of small independent groups operating on their own. Structured similar to the "Lone Wolf" program proposed by Germany at the end of World War II. Unfortunately, eliminating one cell did nothing to stop other cells of the group from continuing the fight. The Biker Gang was exacting revenge upon Alpha Zulu and the Worthingtons.
With street drugs being very difficult to obtain since the demise of the drug cartels, the Bikers were making a mint off of the small amounts of drugs they could obtain. It was a "sellers market" and they were using the proceeds to purchase military armament.
Case after case of AK-47 were intercepted by U.S. Customs and still the guns were flooding the streets of every major city in the United States. That was just the small arms, they had access to armament that could bring down a commercial jet, a military jet or even a corporate jet. Flying was still was the safest mode of travel but T&T made certain every Worthington jet was equipped with anti-missile technology and the pilots retrained as to how it was to be used.
We fathers knew that once the doctors had healed the bodies of our sons the Chaplain would have a full time task in healing their minds. It is one thing to know a hostile is attempting to harm you it is another to have a bullet nearly end your life.
Finally, Doc released Shawn and Steven from Medical and back into the group of loving and supporting friends they had at Fort Connor. Everyone knew how traumatized these two imps were as they were never more than two feet away from their protectors.
When a protector needed to use the "head",
their imp was patient waiting outside the stall door anxious the hear the
flush. Their protector understood and tried not to complain about their imp
being so intrusive into their personal life.
At night the imp slept clutching his protector after making certain the blast door was closed and their bedroom door was locked. It became standard protocol for 1st Sergeant Monster to patrol the imps bunker after the base shut down for the night. Only with Monster on guard did the imps get any sleep. They always emerged from their bedroom with a doggie treat in their hand as they headed to the shower with their protector.
As Col. Ivan was asked to stand guard on the imps learning lab, Shawn and Steven's protector asked for a meeting with Doc. We are only confirming the fact known to all of Alpha Zulu that we are in love with our imps. But, since they were shot I don't even know if they have jacked off. Can their bodies tolerate sex. We need to do something to bring them out of their depression, but we don't want to hurt them either. Doc stated their bodies should be able to enjoy sex but I'd suggest you talk with the Chaplain as to their mental health and if it would cause him any problems with his rehab program.
Both protectors were a little embarrassed to talk with the Chaplain and ask if their imps could enjoy sex. Doc says they are capable of it physically but to ask you your feeling as to their mental status and if it would cause any problems. We love our imps and if that means months of sexual abstention then that is how it has to be. The Chaplain smiled and only commented for us to read their body language and give more credence to it than to anything the imp might comment.
Approaching our Commanding Generals, we commented we had cleared this with both Doc and the Chaplain and respectfully requested two VIP suites for this next weekend. The Generals only smiled and commented: "Consider it done!" After we protectors left the General asked the 1st Sergeant to join them in their office. Relaying the information about the upcoming weekend the 1st Sergeant was asked if he and his co-conspirators to make this a monumental event in the lives of these two precious imps. Adding the Mess Sergeant and his staff to the conspiracy, our imps and their lovers were guaranteed meals that would both provide for the calories they would consume from their physical interactions but also had the reputation for being highly erotic food.
Every man of Alpha Zulu volunteer for a perimeter guard detail to protect our imps in case of an incursion. This quickly became a total conspiracy of every man on base and as the "grapevine" informed POTUS of the weekend event he smiled as he video conference with the Generals adding his support to help two such wonderful imps. POTUS knew the men of Alpha Zulu would do the same if it was Tod and PJ that had been injured.
After retreat on Friday night the protectors took the hand of their imp and walked them toward the VIP housing. The imps had this quizzical look on their face until the door was open and they walked inside. Blazing candles and scented flower set the atmosphere as did the silk sheets on the bed. The smile on the face of their protector said more than words and each imp was held, kissed and turned into a writhing sexual nymphomaniac from the months of self-imposed abstention.
The protectors slowly disrobed their imp and then joined them naked in the shower. This was going to be the most erotic shower an imp had ever enjoyed at Fort Connor. Their protector had a rock hard cock and it was all he could do to keep from pushing his imp forward, his hands on the wall of the shower and give him a piston fuck that would leave him screaming from his orgasm. But, the protector knew better and this needed to be a slow and romantic encounter to help his imp on the road to recovery.
After they were clean inside and out, they adjourned to their main room as the knock on the door announced the arrival of their evening meal. "Compliments of the mess staff" as he delivered the cart and quickly exited their quarters. It was a special meal when Roasted Prime Rib of Buffalo was served with all the fixing they could desire. They still had plenty of gooey left over appetizer to enjoy until breakfast arrived in the morning.
Lifting the lid on a covered dish the imp became hysterical to see so many tubes of lube and Doc's super lube. Commenting: "Sure you ordered enough"? His protector only smiled and commented: "There is more where those came from, I have connections!"
Coating his imps cock fully with honey he knew his love would not last even a minute after his mouth engulfed his hardness. The sweetness of honey combined with the cum blasted into his mouth gave him one of the most beautiful experiences of his life. His imp proceeded to have a complete body orgasm and it took minutes for his body to stop convulsing. As our imp returned to normal time and space, he held his protector and thanked him for staying in love with him. I was so afraid I would lose you, but I'm still terrified of so many things after being shot.
By noon on Sunday each imp had been well nourished to compensate for the calories they had burned and was back in love with their protector and prayed their protector would never pay the ultimate price while he was protected him.
The Chaplain may have made a breach of military protocol, but he shared with our precious imps what was done to select each of your protectors. Besides having to face our Generals and prove they were able to provide the protection, they had to face T&T and even a one on one with POTUS. Yes, they knew how much you were loved by everyone before they ever met you. It is no wonder they are in love with you and only want the best for you and your future.
The imps left the chapel and found their protectors waiting outside. Taking the hand of each protector they led them back to their bedroom, locked the door and made passionate screaming love to them for hours. (Thank goodness their bedrooms had been soundproofed!)
An understanding Mess Sergeant delivered four dinner trays later than evening and then quietly exited the scene not to intrude upon this special moment in the life of their imps. Eventually when their imps asked who all was in on this conspiracy so they could thank them... their protector said everyone from the Commanding Generals to the newest private. We all only want the best for you and your future.
Knowing these were the same men who ran them up the flagpole NAKED they knew the pranks had to end at least until they passed the torch to the next generation of imps.
Within a year Shawn and Steven were up-to-date with their school work and had only one year left at Fort Connor before they would head off to Harvard and life at the Castle. Paul and Carlos reminded them the bedroom at the Castle aren't soundproofed so be considerate of your friends trying to sleep.
Paul and Carlos never admitted that Juan and Roger did soundproof their bedroom out of the necessity for other to be able to sleep. Carlos was a major screamer as Paul gave him orgasm after orgasm before both were sated and ready to face a night of sleep.
Paul and Carlos had to face the reality they needed help in managing the D&D Empire left by David and Date and especially after T&T pilfering Dale and Dwight for the Worthington Foundation. They finally had a brainstorm and asked T&T to join them for dinner, something we all know T&T would never turn down.
Stating to them the obvious, how did they feel about asking an under utilized member of our "Brain Trust" to take over for Dale and Dwight. T&T asked who we were think of and were shocked when we commented: "Michael `Allen' Roberts". He has kept such a low profile as a member of the brain trust it would be a low security duty assignment and he knows Alpha Zulu inside and out and has the education and experience to meet our bureaucratic needs.
Asking T&T to broach the subject with "Allen" he was in shock to be asked to the corporate office to meet with the current heads of the Worthington Dynasty. Stating the obvious as to his history, abilities and experience T&T asked him to consider the public role as the administrator of David and Date's mega corporate empire. Asking for 48 hours to discuss it with a man he was having sincere feelings for and wanted to see how this would impact their future. T&T only asked if this man had been processed by security which "Allen" responded DEFINITELY!
As "Allen" joined his partner in a pre-schedule date out on the town, they adjourned to their residence and broke open a bottle of the 100 year old brandy. "Must be something special on the agenda tonight" as a big smile creeped over the face of the man he loved.
Tonight was the night I had planned on asking you to be my partner in this life and the next. I hope after the events of today you still will want me and will share my life with me. "What could be so traumatic as for you to question the feelings I have for you?" "I was offered to be the head of D&D Enterprises, the largest corporation in the United States. Are you willing to be the partner of such a high profile individual?"
After asking for a double refill on his brandy he said you sure know how to upstage a proposal. I love you with all of my heart, mind and soul and whatever you want to do in life I will always support you. "There is an opening on my staff for a personal assistant, that means being with me 24 hours a day, INTERESTED?
As he smiled from ear to ear he took the hand of Allen and walked him to their bedroom. Yes, Allen was walking mighty tenderly the next morning but he felt the love of his partner deep in his body with every step. The only regret he had was returning to his current job and not having his partner at his side.
Giving two weeks notice wasn't necessary as T&T made it a "lateral transfer" and "LOAN" to D&D Enterprises. Paul and Carlos weren't shocked when the first thing Allen did was hire a personal assistant and from the way the two interacted, they knew wedding bells would be in their future.
The following weekend T&T threw a family gala and reserved the Marriott dining room exclusively for their use. As all of our family and extended family enjoyed the excellent cuisine, the Raspberry Cheese Cake was the choice of the majority of guest present.
After concluding an excellent meal, T&T rose to make this monumental announcement. The reorganization of the Worthington Foundation and the new Administrator of D&D Enterprises. The entire room was quiet waiting the monumental announcement. When the new leaders of the Worthington Foundation were announced the room erupted in praise and realized why there would need to be a new administrator for David and Date's empire.
Announcing Michael "Allen" Roberts as the new administrator for David and Date's empire the room was in shock that such a young and talented person would be given so much power and authority.
As "Allen" rose to make a few comments he introduced his guest for the evening as the man who would share his life and future in this life and the next. Now, the room erupted in praise. A talented, quiet, introverted member of the "brain trust" now became one of the most powerful people in the business world of the United States. Little did he realize the risks that came with the job.
T&T talked to the couple after the family gathering saying they would be leaving for Fort Connor first thing on Monday morning. Your first stop after meeting with the Generals best be the Chaplain and schedule your pre-marital counseling so you both can be married.
The first week was hectic and terrifying. Doc and his reputation for giving a horrible shot was truly understated. It took both men a few days to qualify with a pistol and a bull pup rifle. OPS fitted them for a new wrist com and both men were in shock to learn how lethal their secure briefcase were if they made an error attempting to open it. (Join the rest of us!)
The two weeks was a mini get-a-way until OPS sounded an infamous ALERT THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Being unceremoniously tossed into the imps bunker left them with little pride landing on the sore hip left from Doc's injection. Everyone could hear the battle raging outside of the bunker and both Allen and his partner knew they needed to console the young imps and help them through this ordeal.
As the two lovers were finishing their two weeks at Fort Connor they casually asked the Chaplain when he would have time to marry them. The Chaplain apologized commenting he was scheduled until after the first of the year. He had a friend who would be more than happy to perform the ceremony in private for them.
Both men now understood why their first trip once they returned to the family penthouse would be to our friendly tailor and being fitted for their ceramic body armor. Both men would give their life to protect any imp or any member of their security detail. Both men accepted death as a part of life and when "God calls us to his eternal home, his will be done"!
T&T and the senior members of the families were in on the conspiracy as their armored limousine was admitted to the Vatican embassy. As security escorted them to the Cardinal Chaplin's private quarters, he greeted them as old friend and commented how honored he was to perform this service for men he respected greatly.
Within the hour our two lovers were bound in eternal love and a future neither ever expected in his life. Returning to the Penthouse, security escorted them down one floor and to the honeymoon suite. The men had to smile as they knew T&T wanted this to be so special for them. In fact, he even bribed the Generals to borrow 1st Sergeant Monster for this protection detail. No one would interrupt the lovers on this their wedding night.
Allen was one mighty tender "bride" the next morning and had to smile from ear to ear as he opened the covered serving dish on the breakfast cart to find multiple tubes of Doc's super lube. Everyone conspired to make this a perfect moment in the lives to two people who were madly in love.
Shawn and Steven had momentary relapses of PTSD when they heard loud sounds like a jack hammer or a loud noise of any type. Their protectors held them and assured them no harm would ever come to them. Taking them to bed they applied the stress management necessary to help their imps on the road to a normal life. (Even if they had problems putting their legs together and walking a straight line.) (A problem many a soldier faced each morning at the Castle.)
We all thought the Castle was impregnable, but one knows when they build a better mousetrap the mice get smarter. The same is true for Biker Gangs. The Castle was ringed with Phalanx guns and lasers to bring down any aerial threat. The only entrance to the castle grounds had armed security and a pneumatic lift that would stop a tank from entering. But, even biker gangs have a momentary "brain fart".
Locating the most remote part of the Castle wall, they packed the wall with C-4 explosives and when it went off it blew a hole in the wall large enough for a hundred intruders to rush through. It was a running battle between Alpha Zulu soldiers and armed intruders until OPS activated the Airborne Rangers which came to their assistance. A few rounds of automatic fire from the Apache Gun Ships convinced anyone trying to escape to surrender or to find their body dissected by 30 and 50 caliber automatic fire not to mention an onboard mini-gun!.
We protectors were happy that Steven and Shawn still were in residence at Fort Connor and weren't traumatized by this major incursion of the Castle and threat to the imps in residence.
It was no surprise for POTUS to have the Generals in the air heading to Boston before the sun rose. We have a political fiasco and you my talented Generals have the assignment of extinguishing the fire.
There was no slipping into town unannounced as our massive flying billboard landed. The reporters demanded a comment and we only confirmed we were in town to collect information and make a formal report to the Pentagon and to the President. We would hold a press conference and answer questions once we have assessed the situation. Otherwise, NO COMMENT!
Assuring Juan and Roger they did everything correct and we would be putting every man in their command in for a Presidential Unit Citation. But, the public demands an independent review and that is what we are here to do. Our role and assignment from POTUS is to calm the public and let the Castle go back to protecting the future members of our sacred "Brain Trust".
After a complete review of the incident at the Castle, we met with the administration at Harvard, the local police and politicians. Only then were we ready to face the press and make a formal comment.
I opened our remarks commending the Generals who operate the Castle. They defended the students they protect and no collateral damage was sustained. Every person in the country has the right to defend their property from an armed attack and the men of the Castle have that as their primary objective. No aggressive move was made by any soldier at the Castle until an explosive charge blasted a large hole in their perimeter wall and over 100 armed hostiles entered the compound. Only then did the men use deadly force to protect the "imps" they are sworn to protect. I only have the highest praise for the actions by these dedicated men of Alpha Zulu.
We didn't share the information with the media or the public that the imps were locked into a blast proof panic room which couldn't be breached before a massive amount of armed special forces rangers descended to protect the imps and neutralize any hostiles attempting to harm them.
T&T issued a no bid contract to repair the perimeter wall and then asked for members of our brain trust to figure out how to protect this from happening again. Hopefully, we will have some recommendations of how to prevent this problem in the future shortly. These are the children of their peers so the extra hours the "brain trust" spent in developing options was an investment in the lives of their family and family friends.
The solution recommended would not be cheap. Additional reinforced steel on the interior side of the wall and then the steel rods encased in concrete reinforced with shards of Kevlar fiber. Tests show it will take a tank with a spent uranium shell to go through this reinforcement. Once approved, it will take six months for completion. (It was fast tracked through the Pentagon and approved within 72 hours.)
The imps were impressed at how much work was accomplished each day and security was overly diligent to make certain no hostiles slipped in with workers. Use of deadly force signs were posted with the warning the first shot would be a lethal shot. Repair workers started to realize how important this compound was to our military and the future of our country.
A lone biker attempted to jump the pneumatic barricade during the shift change of 1st and 2nd shifts construction workers. Security took him out mid air as his bike and his body ended up in different parts of the compound. The workers quickly realized the warning of a first shot being a lethal shot wasn't a joke, it was reality.
We had no idea of how, but the biker gang always seemed to have new blood replacing the fatalities incurred during their multiple attacks upon Alpha Zulu. In checking the personal effects of one of the intruders, security found a student ID from a small mid-western school. At least we had a starting point to figure out how our Biker friend were recruiting new blood.
I hated the thought of parents being told their son was a terrorist and his funeral would need to be "Closed Casket" because his body was in pieces. Peripheral damage to the family of the insurgents hurt us worse than the death of the hostiles we killed. The Chaplains would have a full load of counseling for months.
The FBI could now be used for what it does best... intelligence gathering and monitoring. Within weeks it we had evident the individual biker gangs were using the conservative homophobic religious groups to recruit new radical young blood. We were shocked at the ease by which they accomplished this. It wasn't as part of the church, it was simple individual one on one recruitment. Parents teaching their children homophobic values at home made it easier for individuals to be radicalized and recruited. During the next three months the FBI collected enough information to have over 100 federal arrest warrants issued but unfortunately this was only ONE of numerous affiliated biker gangs in the country.
When the FBI raided the biker "club house" even they were shocked to find their armory stocked as well as most military bases. It took five semi loads of firearms and munitions to be transported to evidence storage.
POTUS, the FBI and CIA made a radical decision. Instead of confiscating all the AK-47 rifles they find coming into the country they would use a new tagging system developed by Worthington Industries to follow each "crate" to its destination. T&T made this a "freebie" as it contributed to the welfare and safety of their brain trust and their families. Not to mention Alpha Zulu, Fort Connor and the imps in residence.
As each delivery of rifles were tracked to their destination, the FBI monitored the group and obtained the needed proof for a "John Doe" arrest warrant to be issued as well as a "No Knock" search warrant. The history of these biker gangs provided more than enough justification for a federal judge to issue such warrant.
When the day finally arrived to raid and hopefully eliminate the majority of the gang affiliates, POTUS was adamant this would be a total FBI and military operation. Every available FBI resource was activated and the Joint Chiefs even activated every reserve component necessary to assist all available special forces troops regardless of branch of service.
The orders came down from POTUS and the Joint Chiefs... "If fired upon, your returning fire is to be a lethal head shot!" As the bodies piled up around the raided compounds, the majority of the gang members decided to go down fighting and it was a lethal mistake which saved the government much cost and court time. Not to mention feeding and housing them as prisoners the rest of their lives.
As POTUS requested the leaders of both the Senate and the House to immediately report to the White House, they knew something major was happening. As they were sitting comfortably waiting for POTUS to enter the room, he entered and announced the multi-state raids on armed domestic terrorist which started exactly 60 seconds ago. Providing the Senate and House leadership with thousands of pages of documentation he assured them he wasn't against free speech or the rights of any religions but domestic terrorism has to end.
The President was asking the major networks for air time at 2000 hours tonight and asked for the Senate Leaders and the House Leaders to stand with him in the Oval Office. This isn't a party line dispute, this is a threat against our nation regardless of party loyalty.
We of Alpha Zulu breathed easier but we knew it was impossible to have eliminated every biker gang threat, they would come back to haunt us when we least expected it. Training, equipment and due diligence is what will protect our men and our imps. To that end we pledge our lives and our sacred honor.
Six months and no threats or incursions at Fort Connor... an all time record. It was almost enjoyable to get a video conference from POTUS or the Worthingtons but I was surprised to get a video conference from Dale and Dwight asking permission to visit Fort Connor. "You never have to ask, just let us know when and I'll have the mess prepare something special in your honor".
"Plan on us arriving prior to flag raising in the morning and please made certain General Masters is available to join us after your morning staff meeting."
I could only think of how these now two grown imps were going to ruin my day or possibly my career. Oh, well... We can't be fired they can only retire us and I doubt after all the praise POTUS has publicly made of late that is even an option.
Dale and Dwight arrived earlier than expected the next morning and we requested the 1st Sergeant to have Doc process them and then please escort them to our great room.
As Dale and Dwight warmly greeted us the first words out of their mouths was: "COFFEE"! As we could feel the caffeine surging through our bodies we chatted as two good friends and asked how we can be of service.
Our guest asked that we four could meet with General Masters after our morning staff meeting. They wanted to spend some time at the Chapel and the Meditation Garden before they faced this challenging task. (Now they really had our interest peaked!)
As Dale and Dwight sat in silent contemplation in the Meditation Garden remembering the love and commitment their "fathers" shared, their wrist coms went off and OPS announced the Generals were now available in the conference room.
Generals, the Worthington Hot Line for Military Personnel and Families has been an invaluable tool in allowing all facets of Worthington Industries to assist military families in need. Recently, we had a call from a base Chaplain that had temporary custody of a minor aged boy whose father had been killed in the middle east. His mother had died in childbirth and the only family the child has ever know is now deceased. To say he is an emotional wreck is an understatement and to add to the stress in his life he was turned over to Child Services as required by law.
We immediately had a friendly judge order custody of the minor aged child to one of our Worthington supported orphanages. He is coping better but he needs a secure environment and a FOREVER HOME!
General Masters, we have diligently reviewed your military history, your performance reviews, your psych evaluations, every facet of your life. We feel you are the perfect candidate to provide this young man with a FOREVER HOME.
We were amazed at the look of terror on the General's face. Here is a man who leads soldiers into combat and now was terrified of a young boy. Commenting to the General, he not only meets all the qualifications to be a fantastic father and to provide this young man with a family he desperately needs, but look at the years of experience and all the help you have given to imps who have lived at Fort Connor.
Yes, we talked to many former imps in confidence about your abilities and how you interacted with children. This isn't an offer we take lightly. Money isn't an issue as the Army will increase your subsistence and the fathers life insurance will cover his college education.
Handing the General a portfolio and assessment of the young boy he requested time to recover from the shock of the moment and he would give due consideration to our request. We only commented, like Angus we weren't leaving till we had an answer and the child had a FOREVER HOME!
