Returning from a delicious lunch provided by our mess, General Bjorn and I were casually discussing all the recent events at Fort Connor. We both knew the pending nuptials of General Masters was a forgone conclusion and would be soon announced. The one major concern we had was finding a new Protector for John and somehow helping him to accept the man who would share his life and protect him from all harm.

 

Suddenly, OPS announced: POTUS ON A SECURE VIDEO CALL FOR YOU! Hoping this was good news we prepared ourselves to face a new challenge in our lives.

 

POTUS spoke as a good friend and not as our Commander-in Chief. Generals, I'm certain you have your HR Dream Team in full gear looking for a new Protector for John. I'm not without some resources myself. At my last meeting with the Joint Chiefs we discussed the situation and they all agreed on one man who could fill the big shoes left by General Morovoza. We have him on a priority transport and he should be arriving yet this afternoon. He knows what is being asked of him so speak freely and work with him to help John accept him as his protector.

 

OPS announced an unscheduled plane requesting permission to land. As a young Captain walked down the plane ramp, the minute our eyes made contact with his service ribbons everyone present snapped to attention and saluted a holder of the Medal of Honor.

 

Security processed him and we casually walked him to Medical and even Doc rose to attention when the young Captain entered his office. Doc processed his standard blood tests and then inserted a chip which hurt like hell. (Taking a bullet didn't hurt this bad was the Captain's comment!) A painful welcome to Fort Connor.

 

Settling into our secure conference room we conversed freely with the Captain about how John had yet to let his Protector go and accept his death. He truly was in love with Ricardo and his death has devastated a young imp every man on base loves. You'll find every man will help you however possible to bring John back to his loving self. Right now, let's just announce you at retreat as an impromptu evaluation request by POTUS and the Joint Chiefs. This will allow us to ask all the men of Alpha Zulu to cooperate with you.

 

I'll asked Alexi and John to give you the full tour of Fort Connor tomorrow and after you meet our precious imp you may have some idea of how to address this "mission". And, FYI... Don't call him "Your Highness", "Prince" or "Sheik" or you'll be in trouble before we even start to help him. John is truly a humble individual and if it wasn't for the hard work of John and his Protector we would be having World War III and a nuclear Armageddon.

 

The infamous Fort Connor Grapevine announced we had a holder of the "Medal of Honor" on base. After a delicious evening meal I introduced our new Captain to Alexi and John and asked the two imps to start him on an in depth tour of Fort Connor. "You have the day off of school tomorrow" which made both of them smile from ear to ear. Continue your personal tour with the Captain till he is satisfied he has a full grasp of Fort Connor and Alpha Zulu.

 

Alexi and John weren't 30 minutes into guiding our Captain around Fort Connor and Alexi innocently asked why every soldier we meets salute you. This isn't the norm around Fort Connor. John answered the question as our modest Captain didn't enjoy talking about himself. "Alexi, the Captain is the recipient of our nations highest military award the "Medal of Honor". Protocol dictates even Generals salute a holder of the Medal of Honor.

 

Our young Captain had a long and exhaustive day and asked to be taken to his billet. Surprised to find he was billeted in General Masters quarters next to John's bedroom. (Yes, the entire base was trying to help John heal and win the battle with his demons.)

 

During the night our Captain was awaken by crying and sobs of distress. Slipping into gym trunks he found the noise was coming from John's bedroom. Quietly slipping into bed with him he wrapped his arms around this special imp and the crying stopped as John finally had a peaceful night of sleep.

 

Awakening to the shock of the new Captain in his bed he was apologetic if he caused the Captain to lose his night of sleep. "There are nights I just have such intense memories of Ricardo I just can't keep from crying." The Captain only commented my arms are always ready to hold you and protect you from all harm. John smiled as his arms involuntarily wrapped themselves securely around the Captain. The first step on the road to recover and returning to a full and productive life.

 

As Alexi and John continued the full and complete visit to every nook and cranny of Fort Connor the three were becoming good friends. Finally, the exhaustive day had even taken its toll on our two young imps and as our Captain lay in bed John walked past his door returning from the shower and heading toward his room.

 

John knocked at the door of the Captain's bedroom and asked permission to enter. He was assured no permission was ever necessary. John with much embarrassment admitted he had the best night of sleep last night since Ricardo died. Would the Captain mind if they shared a bed tonight? The Captain admitted he wasn't wearing any clothes to bed and to give him a minute to put something on. John, a true Army brat, simply shed his sleeping trunks and slipped under the covers naked with the Captain. The secure hands around him gave him a wonderful night of rest and sleep. The embarrassing moment of both imp and Captain waking with raging morning erections even went without much embarrassments. (Ricardo had the same problem so John was used to it.) John smiled as he thought of how he would usually dive under the covers and use his mouth to give Ricardo a wonderful way to start a new day. He just didn't know this Captain well enough yet. YET? How could he ever consider something this intimate, it would be cheating on Ricardo's memory.

 

After a week of sleeping in the arms of the Captain John approached the Chaplain and asked if he could make time to talk with him. "I have free time right now" as he closed his office door and listened to the revelations of this young imp the entire base loved.

 

John admitted to the Chaplain this last week he had been sleeping with the Captain, nothing sexual, just being held securely by him. It is the best rest I've had since Ricardo died. I think I'm developing feelings for him and I also feel I'm betraying the memory of Ricardo.

 

The Chaplain freely admitted that Ricardo would be the first one to tell you to love, have a life, a future, a partner and a happy fulfilling life. Yes, you will have flashbacks of wonderful moments with Ricardo but don't let them prevent you from enjoying life. Don't let his sacrifice to have been made in vain. If you have feelings for the Captain, let him know. Don't fall in love with him only to find out he has no interest. There is an entire world out there and there is another man you can love as deeply and intensely as you did Ricardo.

 

As the Chaplain handed John a tissue to wipe the tears from his face he thanked him for his kind words and guidance. I guess there is no time like the present to face his feelings for this wonderful man. Knowing the Captain was qualifying at the "range" he joined him and asked if he had time to take a walk. The Captain was intuitive enough to realize this was a pivotal moment and he didn't want to ruin it for John. Walking into the meditation garden, they sat on the marble bench looking at the statue of Dale and Duke. John spoke freely: "This is where I dropped to my knees and proposed to Ricardo". I know I'm a mixed up imp but I think I have strong feelings and desires for you. Can we start being friends and see what develops. The Captain smiled and admitted he had been John's friend since they first met.

 

But, MY FRIEND failed to show me the most important item when we toured Fort Connor. I hear the mess has fantastic vanilla ice cream with home made hot fudge sauce. Both men walked hand in hand to the mess and the mess Master Sergeant knew a HUGE bowl of ice cream and more hot fudge than had ever been served before was required with two spoons. Our precious imp and his yet unknown protector had much to discuss and this afternoon would bond them as inseparable for the rest of their lives.

 

Our Captain decided to be totally honest with John. POTUS sent me here to help you with your grief and hopefully for you to want me as your Protector. However, our feelings develop toward each other I want to protect you and be your friend for life. I will defend you with my life and I will gladly take a bullet for you. Don't let the trauma of losing such a fantastic person as Ricardo ruin you from having a fantastic future. It would truly dishonor his sacrifice.

 

The Captain held John securely as the tears flowed freely and everyone on base knew a pivotal moment in the recovery of this precious imp had occurred. All the men of Alpha Zulu would do anything to help John heal. John approached the Generals and his father that evening in their quarters and only stated one word: "BUSTED"! And, the next time you talk with POTUS please thank him for me. Now you can announce to the entire base I have a new Protector and do the honorable thing and make him a permanent part of Alpha Zulu.

 

John later that evening requested and received a private conversation with POTUS. Please, Sir... don't make him a General. A bird Colonel is more than adequate for "His Highness". There will be plenty of opportunity in the future to promote him. I'm ready to face life and whatever the future holds for me.

 

POTUS immediately had a private conversation with the Commanding Generals and commented you really do work miracles at Fort Connor. You can give the Captain his commissioning oath as a "Bird" Colonel whenever you feel it is appropriate but there is a young imp who is "chomping at the bit" to pin his "Eagles" on his uniform.

 

At their morning staff meeting after all the business had been concluded, our Commanding General commented that our Captain had indeed performed a miracle that even Doc with all his knowledge and the Chaplain with all his experience had not accomplished. You have given us back a most impressive imp with a future that will greatly impact our great nation. POTUS has promoted you to the rank of a full Colonel and I hope you are ready to take your Oath of Commission at retreat as I know there is an anxious imp that wants to pin on your "Eagles".

 

At retreat as John held the bible our Captain took his commissioning oath and pledged his life and sacred honor to protect this country. John handed the bible to General Bjorn and proceeded to pin on the insignia of a Full Colonel in the United States Army. Those silver birds on his shoulder never shined brighter and a precious imp wrapped his arms around his new Protectors neck and smothered him with hugs and kisses. The men of Alpha Zulu were ecstatic and knew John was on the road to a full recovery.

 

As our new Colonel needed to return to Washington to be fitted for his new uniform and unknown to him face POTUS and assure him of his sincerity. As the Colonel was being fitted for his new uniform John asked to chat with T&T privately and has a request. Money wasn't an issue but he wanted a special saber to present to his new protector. Not something as gaudy as what the Generals have but definitely something of the highest quality and exceptionally unique. Just give me the bill when it arrives and I'll transfer you the money for it.

 

As T&T commented to "CONSIDER IT DONE" John hugged and kissed them. Little did John know when the Saber finally arrived it came with a bill marked: PAID!

 

After a few months with his protector John asked how he felt about attending social events. He received at least two or three invitations to some gala in Washington every week. His protector only commented he'd be at his side and to select the invitations that you really want to attend.

 

As the left for their first social event since the death of Ricardo our new Colonel looked really sharp as he left our quarters and headed to the air field. John stopped him as he headed for the door of their quarters and commented the Colonel was "OUT OF UNIFORM"! Handing him a black walnut case that could only be his saber the Colonel was shocked at both the beauty and quality of the gift.

 

Made of the highest quality German Steel it gleamed in normal room light. The engraving stole the Colonels heart. "For a man who stole the heart of an imp and gave him a life and a future!" "J.A.M." A large ruby was attached to the nut that held the blade to the guard and it was truly symbolic of the love that was developing between Protector and imp.

 

POTUS also attended the gala that evening and commented on what a sharp saber our Colonel was wearing. "I think you have exceeded your mission objectives and goal." It won't be long and you'll have a stars on your shoulders. Congratulations, you definitely were the right man for the assignment.

 

Freely admitting, John no longer was an assignment, he was falling in love with him. POTUS only smiled and informed the Colonel they best plan a Rose Garden wedding. John was now a national treasure and the entire country and a large part of the world would be upset if we didn't honor this brave and dedicated imp. June is the perfect month with all the Roses in bloom. Plan accordingly!

 

John joined POTUS and the Colonel... "Talking about me behind my back, how rude..." and a big smile on his face only confirmed his humor in the comment. POTUS only commented: "In time young man you'll find I can plan and deceive as well as any man in Alpha Zulu." Now you two enjoy the evening, I have a mountain of paperwork on my desk to complete before I can call it a day.

 

As John and his protector returned to T&T's Penthouse the enjoyed a hot shower and he slept securely in the arms of his protector. As the morning sun started to creep through the window John could feel the large erection of his protector prodding his naked body. Slipping free of the secure arms he crawled under the sheets to engulf the large gift before him. As his mouth engulfed the head he could hear the involuntary comments escaping from the lips of his still sleeping protector. As he heard the word "John" multiple times he knew the pleasures his protector was enjoying were included in the dream he was having of him. Suddenly, the voice raised a few octaves as the words "John", "No", "I'll drown you" and suddenly the scream "I'm cumming!" as a torrent of his savory cream filled John's mouth to overflowing and had him choking. Knowing the only way to finish and pleasure his protector was to force the big head into his throat so he could breathe as his protectors balls finished blasting off.

 

Licking his lips and cleaning off the residual succulent cream remaining on his protectors penis, John emerged from the covers to find a smiling protector who kissed him and licked his face clean. "You my young friend are one devious imp, actions like that can get you fucked royally." John only smiled at his protector and commented: Don't make promises you aren't ready to fulfill!"

 

Shower, NOW! John and his protector shared one of the most erotic showers in his life and when his protector turned on the shower bidet John knew how much he was looking forward to pleasuring this special man.

 

Returning to bed they 69 as they both enjoyed oral sex. Then, his protector started working his way from his balls to his ass. Spreading his cheeks wide he started eating John's ass as John started screaming words of encouragement. After two minutes of chowing down on John's ass the screams of FUCK ME were resounding so loud in the bedroom even T&T could hear them as they awoke for the day.

 

John got flipped into a doggie position and he knew this entrance would be hard and fast. As John was stuffing a pillow into his mouth the pain reached his brain as his balls erupted from the massive intrusion into his ass. As John returned to time and space he told his protector how wonderful it was and to never stop. John was one pretty sore imp as his protector deposited load after load of his hot ball cream into john. John coated the sheets each time his protector had an orgasm. John was definitely "rode hard and put away wet"... he had visited Nirvana so many times he collapsed exhausted and held securely in the arms of his protector with the cock of his lover still deep in his body.

 

As John returned to time and space he looked at the face of his lover and only commented he truly was in love with this great man. Finally, it was apparent both men had to face the shower AGAIN and John well knew how painful it would be cleaning out after the great sex he had just enjoyed.

 

Dressing casually, T&T applauded the duo as the exited the bedroom. Both men blushed and John commented to add the cost of new linen to his "bill". T&T only commented they'd find a dozen sets of new linen in the hall closet. You aren't the first or last of our guests to destroy our linen.

 

Enjoying a wonderful Marriott Brunch they sat at the table and John couldn't take his eyes off of his protector. Without warning his protector commented: "POTUS told me last night to plan a June Rose Garden Wedding." As John was coughing orange juice out of his mouth and nose at the shocking comment, his protector dropped to his knees and grasp the hand of his precious imp.

 

"Would His Highness, Prince and Sheik of Arabia do this lowly commoner the honor of being my partner in this life and the next?" John just sat there with his mouth open as T&T anxiously awaited the answer. John was in such shock he couldn't talk. He wanted to say YES but couldn't form the words. Finally, he croaked out a YES as he wrapped his arms around his protectors neck and was carried back to the bedroom.

 

T&T yelled at the couple: "Remember, new sheets are in the hall closet." (So much for those two for the rest of the day!) By 1700 hours T&T knocked on the door and advised our lovers that dinner would be in 30 minutes. If you aren't decent and presentable a doggie bag would be sent to 1st Sergeant Monster. Even with both men having trouble walking they made it to the dining table on time.

 

Asking OPS if they could request a video conference with POTUS at his convenience, POTUS hoped this was the moment he was anticipating. John spoke first as POTUS appeared on the video screen. "A Rose Garden Wedding?" Check your calendar and give us the date. I said yes to the proposal and thank you for forcing the issue. POTUS said to just plan on the 1st Sunday in June and leave the rest to him. You just need to select your best men and groomsmen. DISCONNECT!

 

Asking T&T for the URL of the restricted website for the Jeweler as they needed to select Wedding Rings. T&T were never happier to assist the couple. Within the week, their security detail escorted them to the Jeweler and John put his "Black Card" on the desk without even asking the price he was being charged. He figured if the card was good for over $200,000.00 USD in medical bills the rings definitely wouldn't be that expensive.

 

Oh, was he mistaken, John quickly found out that flawless Emeralds cost more than flawless Diamonds. Combining the two into their wedding bands and John was happy to have such a large monthly allowance from his Saudi assets.

 

The night before the big day arrived and the Generals as best men threw the bachelor party at the Saudi Embassy in Washington. There were a few shocking moments to the evening as the Saudi Ambassador rose and on behalf of the King of Saudi Arabia His Highness, Prince John Allen Masters, Sheik of Arabia was awarded The Collar of the Order of Abdulaziz Al Saud and The Order of Abdulaziz Al Saud Special Class. The entire room was in shock at the Royal recognition of a gay marriage being accepted by Saudi Arabia.

 

POTUS not to be undone rose to toast the couple. "To the two men I value and call my friends. I introduce to you the newest member of the General Staff of the United States Army." The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs walked to the front of the room and joined our couple. A bible miraculously appeared and the Chairman asked if the Colonel was ready to take his Commissioning Oath as a Brigadier General in the United States Army.

 

I. Harold Alexander III, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. (And thus I pledge my sacred honor!)

 

The room roared their approval. This action not only confirmed the love of two people we all cherished but it also cemented the relationship between two countries that would results in world peace in the future yet untold.

 

The wedding the next day was beautiful beyond description. POTUS, Harold and John allowed a "pool reporter" to cover the wedding provided the material was provided to all news media without editing. Our Cardinal Secretary of State had previously committed to be at the Vatican. The minute the Chief Justice was advised of the vacancy he pulled in one of his political favors and offered his services to the couple. They accepted provided the Chaplain from Fort Connor could co-officiate.

 

The Marine Band provided the music and we all knew the event of the social season was beginning when we heard the familiar music of "Hail to the Chief". As POTUS entered and was seated we discretely entered and stood before the Chief Justice and the Chaplain. Within minutes we were bound as partners in this life and the next. I only prayed to God that Harold wouldn't pay the ultimate price for being my protector.

 

As the day was drawing to a close POTUS asked our two Commanding Generals to join him in the Oval Office. As they slipped away unnoticed, POTUS commented he needed our assistance AGAIN. There was still problems in Israel with the Mossad director and both David and Uri was requesting our immediate assistance. POTUS calmly stated Israel is a great honeymoon destination and far safer than recent trips to Hawaii. Advise our two lovebirds to grab their "go bags" and join you on your behemoth of a jet. Pick what security detail you want from the Alpha Zulu men present and have the rest return to Fort Connor. Your diplomatic credentials are on your plane in a secure pouch.

 

Greeting the two newlyweds in T&T's Penthouse they were shocked when we told them to grab their "go bag" and POTUS had a honeymoon in Israel planned for them. I knew David, Jacob and Uri would make certain they had a honeymoon to remember. You can't find a more gay friendly country than Israel.

 

As soon as we reached cruising altitude and our fighter jet escort joined us, the plane captain came back to our area and talked briefly with the newlyweds. Smiling at our two lovebirds, he commented in many cultures the wedding isn't valid until it has been consummated. Besides, it is a perfect chance to join the "mile high club". I know the Generals will be happy to lend you one of their bedrooms. Wanting this moment to be so perfect for these two special people in our lives we never hesitated to loan them the bedroom we never used.

 

Four hours later an exhaustive couple exited to the applause and friendly "cat calls" of their brothers-in-arms. As our meal was served in flight John turned to Harold and only commented, "Eat Up" you are going to need your strength. Little did Harold know he had married an imp who was a nymphomaniac T&T could be proud of.

 

David met us as we landed and we introduced him to our newlywed couple. He thanked John for all he had recently accomplished in preventing World War III. Uri had made arrangements for Harold and John to meet with the President of Israel and John was presented with the "Presidents Medal" in recognition of his actions in preventing World War III. As other nations learned of this recognition, request after request was received by our State Department for John to receive recognition for his unselfish action to assure world peace.

 

Flying back to the United States we ended up stopping in Germany, France and the United Kingdon for John to receive the honors he never wanted but deserved. When our plane was diverted to Italy we were shocked to learn we now had a request from the current Pope for a private audience. As Harold and John were presented to the Pope he smiled as he awarded John the "The Supreme Order of Christ" for his work in preventing World War III. We truly did have a world class celebrity and a protector who loved him hoping and praying his notability wouldn't result in any harm.

 

In Israel, David and Uri were honest, the Head of Mossad just wasn't able to handle the work. We needed a replacement and the four men we rejected last time were immediately back in the running. Out of respect, the head of Mossad was asked to resign and return back to the I.D.F. As we met with the four prospective individuals we asked invasive questions regarding their ability to assign men and women to high risk and potentially deadly assignments. The youngest of the candidates impressed us the most and upon our recommendations he was appointed the head of Mossad. Hopefully, we had made the correct decision this time.

 

Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean we received a secure video call from POTUS. (It is never a good sign when POTUS is smiling from ear to ear.) POTUS commented: "I thought you might like the honor to informing His Highness, Sheik of Arabia and now Ambassador at Large for the President of the United States Prince John Allen Masters Congress today awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom which we will present at the Annual Ambassadors Reception next weekend."

 

Now you THREE can commiserate over your gaudy uniforms because our young friend has a meeting with our friendly tailor as soon as you touch down at Andrews. Plan on John and his protector staying the week with T&T. I know they have something special in the works for him also.

 

As we exited our office to the main cabin area, I asked for everyone attention, especially our young hero. I just received this information from POTUS and I'm proud to be the one to inform His Highness, Prince and Sheik of Arabia, Congress today approved him as an Ambassador at Large for the President of the United States and has awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The plane erupted in praise for our young imp who had done so much for world peace. It was time his country stepped up and acknowledge what he had done. We made so much noise the Captain came back and wanted to know what was up.

 

Hearing the good news the Captain stood tall and saluted the new Ambassador. John had yet to realize his Ambassador status gave him the equivalent rank of a Four Star General of the Army. Yes, now he and his father had a unique situation when they were together. We now would have to draw straws as to who would be forced to tell him about his gaudy new uniform. May God have mercy on whoever draws the short straw because I do believe John will go ballistic.

 

As T&T had heard the rumblings and rumors in the Halls of Congress regarding appropriate recognition for John they immediately contacted their supplier and put a rush order on a saber duplicate to what John had bought for Harold. This would be a present from the hearts of the Worthington Family and one John would always cherish and wear with pride.

 

Fortunately, Harold drew the short straw and had to tell John about getting fitted for an Ambassadors uniform identical to the one our Generals wear. "You must be out of your frickin' minds if you expect me to wear that outfit!" After an intense session of counseling in our spare office/bedroom John accepted his fate and that his partner could never be prouder of him.

 

The night of the Ambassadors Reception we all met in T&T's great room and John emerged looking a hot young stud accompanied by General "Arm Candy". John was still seething over having to wear this ridiculous outfit. We two Generals only commented: "Welcome to our world, now shut up and serve your country!"

 

As Harold had adorned John's Ambassadors Uniform with the many awards he had received he truly looked the role of a young royal on his way up the social ladder. Wait till POTUS hangs his Medal of Freedom around his neck in front of every Ambassador present. I know he will smile for the cameras and thank POTUS profusely. The bigger problem is what he will tell POTUS when they are alone in the Oval Office.

 

Harold was fantastic at soothing the ruffled feathers of our young hero. Not just the United States but freedom loving people of the world want to thank you for preventing the biggest disaster in the history of the human race. The world needs heroes and leaders and you are on the "fast track" to be the greatest leader of America since Dale Gordon Longdick Allman.

 

Being held securely and kissed passionately by his lover made him realize his hostile attitude was not being worthy of all the men who proceeded him and definitely not of Ricardo. Asking the Generals to forgive his selfish nature and being so hostile of late we only laughed at him and commented you should have heard our comments when we first saw our new uniforms. Your comments were far last demonstrative than our were and like you we had no choice but to suck it up and accept our fate.

 

Without warning an explosion rocked our armored limo and we all went bouncing around the interior. Landing upright on all 4 weels was truly a miracle. Our driver was dead and the six of us received multiple injuries. T&T had broken arms and legs, we Generals had the same in addition to some mighty sore ribs but Harold sustained the most serious injuries as he shielded John and used himself as a pad preventing serious impact as the car rolled over and over.

 

It took an eternity for EMS and Fire Rescue to cut us out of our armored vehicle. For once we regretted it had been constructed so well. Finally, removing the entire roof, we were extracted and I swear we could feel every bump as the ambulances proceeded to George Washington University Hospital Trauma Center. John was terrified at the potential of losing another protector and partner in life. After the briefing received by the Emergency Trauma Team he asked to see his partner before they took him to surgery to repair the arm and leg fractures. His head injury and broken ribs could present potential problems but only time would tell.

 

The Doctors advised John he couldn't see his partner and John went ballistic. John quietly informed the doctors he held the rank of a four star General and was a very good friend of POTUS. Unless you want to see how miserable I can make your life and future I would suggest you let me see my partner NOW!

 

Only allowing John a few minutes to be with his unconscious partner John was in tears that he had sacrificed so much to protect him. He kissed his hand gently as they wheeled Harold away for surgery. We Generals knew with a closed head injury and chest injuries it would be days and many tests before anything definitive was known. We each had a private room in a wing of the hospital which became restricted by security to the MAX. POTUS let it be known if any further injury occurred to our Generals, Protector or Ambassador the guilty party would pay with their life. (Yes, POTUS can motivate people at times and he does know how to play "hard ball"!)

 

John was at Harold's side the minute he was moved to a room from recovery. The medical staff tried to force him to leave and the minute anyone touched him his security detail showed the individual the error of his way. "POTUS had authorized lethal force, don't make me waste all that valuable education you have received." The ICU team was never happier than to move Harold to an intermediate care room. The nursing and medical staff were much more amenable.

 

Knowing the money the Worthingtons donate to the hospital each year the Hospital Administrator and Medical Director made it known: COOPERATE!

 

John remember the dying words of the Pope: "God will give you the strength to meet every challenge". John prayed constantly to God and his assistant Roger was always there to be with both Harold and John. There were a few tense moments when Harold's heart stopped and a bout with his brain swelling but he would make a complete recovery.

 

When Harold was finally conscious and coherent enough to have a rational conversation, John begged him to resign his commission so the two of them could find somewhere where no one knew them and they could live a normal life.

 

Harold only commented: If I could get out of bed, I'd kick you in that sweet ass you have. From the moment I met you I knew you were destined for greatness. If it means my life then it is a willing sacrifice I make for the man I love and the country I love. You already have done so much for so many in this world and you have yet begun to start your life. Don't make me regret the decision I made about you. Now if you love me, ask the doctor or nurse to turn back up the pain meds. Please and thank you.

 

John needed a large dose of hard love and reality. He knew the one man who would be totally honest with him was the Cardinal Chaplain. Asking OPS if this man might have time to meet with him, OPS only inquired at his office or his residence. "Whichever is convenient!" OPS advised John was expected at his residence at 1900 hours for dinner. DON'T BE LATE!

 

Back at Fort Connor Doc poured himself a double neat 20 year old single malt Scotch thinking of the fun and challenges these stars on his shoulders had to look forward to shortly. Two Commanding Generals, a Brigadier "Protector" and two Worthingtons as patients in residence. Not to mention one pissed off imp who now is a four star General and Ambassador walking the halls combined with a constant demand of POTUS interrupting his day. Perhaps now is a good time to retire?
