The gun battle lasted less than 20 minutes involving hostiles, Alpha Zulu Security, Executive Services Security, FBI, State and Local Police. The entire Executive Entrance of the Marriott was destroyed. The elevator resembled swiss cheese and the hallways were covered in blood and body parts of the hostiles. We had many injured of the security forces but our ballistic ceramic armor prevented the wounds being fatal. I wasn't ready for a few months of using back entrance and the wonderful aroma of garbage as we arrived and left the Penthouse. Security was increased and the men were armed to the teeth. If a person didn't have a security ID and an electronic ID card designed by Yuuto, access to the elevator or stairwell was denied. Even housekeeping and room service was escorted by security when they entered the restricted area. I'm glad security is keeping T&T safe and Jeremy and I are still at Fort Connor. It will be great to share quality time with T&T at Camp Phoenix as soon as Doc releases Jeremy from captivity.
Lupo's Trainer was in tears when the Generals told him he had the pick of five litters and was enrolled in the first Worthington training program as part of their Wolf Dog breeding program. You can fly out in the morning, meet with the program leaders and pick the new love of your life. There is only one pup already chosen and that is Medvěd which was a wedding gift from T&T to Roger and Jeremy. Plan on being "wheels up" immediately after breakfast.
The Breeding Program had built luxurious kennels for the Wolf Dogs and a mega comfortable dormitory for the trainer recruits. Plan on staying a few days and bond with your new best friend. Lupo can never be replaced in our hearts but he was truly Army and gave his life to completing his assignment protecting Roger.
Jeremy and I had less than a month of my summer break to enjoy being together at Camp Phoenix. Finally, I had to return to the Castle and face the inevitable of returning to Harvard. Exiting the transport vehicle at the Castle, two armed security met me and advised the Generals wanted to see me in their office IMMEDIATELY!
As I stood before two four star Generals who I considered my friends they commented they were really hurt by my actions. They considered themselves as a friend and you sneak away with Jeremy and elope. I should put you on bread and water for 30 days for such an insult.
I apologized to the Generals and commented it was something we did on impulse trying to avoid the pomp and circumstance we now have to face on Valentine Day. You will be invited to the White House wedding and I do hope you'll attend and forgive us for being so insensitive. We never meant to offend anyone, especially the two of you we do consider good friends.
Please don't rebuke our Protectors. They had standing orders from the Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu and T&T if anything didn't affect my health or safety they didn't need to know what I was doing. That standing guideline may be revised for future imps but that is the order given to my protectors. Besides, I need them as our "Best Men" for our wedding ceremony.
Two emotional Generals opened their arms and as we hugged and I kissed them all was forgiven. Even my protectors breathed easier when I exited the Generals office smiling. I looked at them and only commented: "Registration and Book Store starting 0800 hours sharp, don't be late!"
Jeremy was sending me glowing reports of Medvěd daily and I was becoming jealous of his time with this special girl in our lives. Our Alpha Zulu Trainer selected an aggressive Wolf Dog pup. When he placed his hand in the litter to touch a pup he got a major bite from an aggressive male pup. "Lupo, Jr. was to be a part of Alpha Zulu and would be loved by all including `Monster'!"
Our friendly tailor suddenly had no lack of business in the summer months. He was continually making ceramic body armor for our War Dog graduates. They looked mighty sharp when T&T sent me the video of their graduation. I so wish I could have attended but faced too many tests that day. One can only ask ones Professors for personal time off so many times and I was testing their limits. It is one thing for POTUS to call the Chancellor and advise I was needed in Washington. Totally different than me wanting time off for a personal event. I know Medvěd and Jeremy will understand and forgive me especially if I have a pocket of doggie treats when we next meet.
"ALERT, ALERT, MISSILE ATTACK ON WORTHINGTON ONE.. THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" Terror raced through my mind and body as the Alpha Zulu men at the Castle went to full alert and lock down. I was locked in the Panic Room with the other imps in residence and with my two protectors armed to the teeth. I prayed the pilots were skilled and I knew they were selected from the finest pilots the Air Force had. But a missile attacking a corporate jet usually takes out the engine and the majority of deaths are from the plane then crashing. The best I could hope for was a controlled crash landing and T&T walking away with minimal injuries.
It was hours before anything was known, and we were released from the Panic Room. T&T were on my video com immediately assuring me they survived. Unfortunately, one pilot died instantly and the other pilot although seriously injured brought the jet down and had a controlled crash landing.
POTUS was livid and demanded daily reports from every agency and proof every minute bit of information was followed to its conclusion. This has to end! Attacks upon American aircraft in American air space will not be tolerated! "Whatever it takes, do it!"
Finally, obtaining a lead that could be confirmed, the FBI had an idea of the location of our Foe. T&T offered their new surveillance satellite which was gladly accepted by POTUS. As we now knew the layout of the remote structure and the number of hostiles the FBI could have multiple Emergency Response Teams deployed within hours. At dawn, the FBI used "bull horns" and announced their presence to the men in the building. Within minutes a barrage of automatic gun fire was received by the FBI team. When the FBI returned fire, the building exploded killing everyone inside and injuring any FBI agent within 100 yards of the building.
As the dust settled, we saw a massive crater via the satellite imaging and we could only imagine a stray bullet or a self-destruct on the part of the hostiles caused this to happen. The blast was so strong windows ten miles away were shattered. We knew the Biker Gang had access to military grade weapons and hopefully gleaning off the serial numbers we can start to figure out where they are purchasing them this time.
Unknown to anyone, including POTUS, T&T called a closed door meeting of their Board of Directors. T&T announced they were stepping down in five years and naming Roger Worthington as their replacement. That would give them three years after graduation to groom Roger for the position and they would be available for advice at any time he required it in the future. (Advising the Board, David & Donald Worthington had no interest in the high profile CEO position they were satisfied to remain in their ancillary positions.) To say the Board was shocked would be an understatement.
Jeremy actually got to attend graduation and sit with T&T in the VIP section. Medvěd looked so sharp in her "Worthington Security" body armor and was truly the professional until Jeremy gave the order for "Puppy Time"... we both enjoy rolling on the carpet of the Penthouse or the grass at Camp Phoenix with this newest edition to our lives which we both loved dearly.
I still faced 1-2 years to complete my Masters Degree and I was hoping to complete it in just over 12 months. I'd miss my friends and fellow imps at the Castle but I knew the future included many of them as employees and competitors. We would all still remain members of the "imp mafia".
T&T sent Jeremy and Me to our Virgin Island Penthouse for a two week vacation. They also advised our protectors the Governor would appreciate no bodies left on the beach this time. We truly enjoyed frolicking in the surf naked in the beautiful Caribbean moonlight. Little did we know the Worthington Satellite was overhead snapping numerous pictures which were put into a wedding album and presented to the two of us by T&T when we returned.
The first time we returned to Fort Connor we received a round of applause and cat calls as the pictures were a slide show on the big wall monitor. (We will get even with T&T!)
Finally, the day arrived when I could say goodbye to Harvard and even missing all my friends at the Castle I was ready to spend time with my family and the man I loved even if I do have to share him with Medvěd. T&T had a "small" party in the Penthouse for our close friends and we received a multitude of gifts (some inappropriate for presentation in public). The final gift was from T&T and it was a small insignificant box beautifully wrapped with a bow. Opening it I was in shock and froze in terror. Handing a card to Jeremy, he hugged and kissed me. The obvious impressive business card read:
Roger Worthington, CEO
Worthington Industries
I was speechless and I had a lot of people to thank for raising me, protecting me and educating me to reach this point in my life. I had four pretty big shoes to fill and I knew immediately my first act was to hire Jeremy as my personal assistant. Medvěd came along as a package deal.
I breathed a big sigh as after everyone had left T&T filled us in on what had happened. The Board of Directors approved this two years ago. We will stay on to mentor you and help make the transition flawless. And, we'll be available as a resource any time you need help. Just don't interrupt our tanning time on the beach. We aren't restricted from enjoying Hawaii.
I turned to my protectors and advised them they had a lifetime contract with Worthington Industries if they wanted to stay on as my protectors. I expect you to take a few weeks off and visit your family and discuss this important decision in your life. You'll have transportation arranged within 48 hours so pack your bags and find your passports.
Oh, how I would miss my two protectors but frankly I was planning on the next two weeks with Jeremy locked away in the Penthouse making up for all the time we were forced to spend apart. Medvěd really had a broken heart when we locked her out of our bedroom. She had to learn to keep her nose to herself when Jeremy and I were enjoying passionate love. I was in hysterics when Jeremy failed to close the door tight and Medvěd opened the door with her nose and jumped into bed licking Jeremy's balls and ass as he was orgasming deep in me. Jeremy had one shocking and screaming orgasm and it took days for me to stop laughing over what had happened. T&T never did figure out what I was laughing about but getting punched in the arm by Jeremy every time I chuckled, they quickly figured out it had to be about our sex life.
I had to make an appointment with our friendly tailor who congratulated me on such an important position for a young man. I told him we both need executive business suits and he proceeded to take our measurements again. He was kinda sad when Jeremy took off his pants and was wearing boxer shorts. He retook the measurements but didn't smile as much as he did the first time he measured Jeremy "ala natural". We chose fabrics for seven suits each and then the fun of selecting ties. Custom dress shirts in different fabrics, colors and styles just so we weren't boring. We were now the young executives everyone wanted to copy.
Jeremy and I definitely preferred to ride around in the Range Rover vs the Limo. The Limo was necessary for some formal occasions but the Range Rover was our choice for every day use. We were on pins and needles waiting for our Protectors to return and prayed they would still be part of our lives and our family. After so many years living with them I hated to imagine replacing two such important men I loved as much as I do T&T.
It seemed like the mail every day included multiple invitation to social events and I soon found giving the replies to my secretary a necessity. As much as I preferred a "hands on" personal approach, my obligations were just too massive to do entirely by myself.
I made a major decision for Jeremy, myself and our protectors if and when they returned. Takeda was the first to return and shocked us when we learned the head of the Japanese Defense Force refused his resignation and after meeting with Hikaru he was informed the Emperor had assigned him personally to protect you with my life. "Your stuck with me!" Jeremy and I hugged and kissed this most valuable member of my team. Takeda told us his parents were bursting with pride and only encouraged me to follow my heart. Takeda knew his heart belonged to Yonatan and he only prayed the feelings were mutual.
Yonatan took over two weeks to return and admitted it was a battle for David and Uri to accept his resignation from the Israel Defense Force. Finally, telling me they would always reinstate me if I found being a Protector wasn't to my liking, they approved my resignation... so I hope your offer is still available. My parents only told me to follow my heart and God's guidance.
Welcoming my Protectors back we would have our own private celebration. Taking our security detail and heading to the mall we had some purchases to make. All four of us needed casual working jeans, casual shirts and caps... not to mention comfortable loafers. We were going out on the town and definitely not to four star restaurants. We started at McDonalds and ended up at Burger King. We enjoyed the sights of Washington at night just being considered four tourists by those around us. Some sharp paparazzi snapped a picture of us at McDonald and it was on the front page of every Gossip News Paper the next morning. Any privacy we wanted in our life and future would only be found at Camp Phoenix and Fort Connor.
Jeremy and I asked to have a heart to heart chat with our Protectors. "We love you both as family and who are you two trying to deceive. It is obvious you both are in love." Takeda dropped to his knees taking Yonatan hand and asked him to be his partner in life. I told the two of them to go video conference with their parents and I only needed to know if they wanted a small or large wedding. Most emphatically they announced: SMALL!
Knowing SecDef never quits work till after midnight, I brought him up on Video Conference and saw the tired face of an overwork dedicated public servant. "How can I be of service to the youngest Executive of a major multi-national corporation?" Please, let's just have an informal chat with "Roger". My two protectors want to get married and I was wondering if you could arrange for a Jewish chaplain to officiate at Fort Connor. "Just email me the date and I'll make it happy. Congratulate the two wonderful men for me!"
Next was our Commanding Generals and they assured me they would make the arrangements for the wedding in our chapel and coordinate with SecDef. (Now that was just too easy.)
The 1st Sergeant at Fort Connor pulled rank and demanded to plan the bachelor party. (Not enough booze and too many embarrassing presents!) I think every person on base came out to greet us when we descended the plane ramp when we arrived for the bachelor party. Even Medvěd was so well behaved all during the trip. What started as a small wedding of under ten people had suddenly turned into a major base event of over 200 attending. The Chaplain warmly greeted us and confirmed all the details had been worked out and a Jewish Chaplain would be arriving in the morning to Co-Officiate the wedding service.
An hour before the service was to start OPS announced: "Air Force One on final approach"! Wedding Crashers and no one was going to kick them out. As POTUS and SecDef walked down the ramp they quietly sat in the back pew and left immediately after the service. We would have to write both men an apology accompanying a case of aged Scotch for our oversight in not extending them an invitation.
We sent our lovebirds off to our Virgin Island paradise and reserved the Honeymoon Suite for their two week stay. Unlike our getaway, no pesky satellites snapping pictures of them frolicking naked on a moonlight beach. They were bronze Gods when they returned (and with no tan lines), I was jealous.
Medvěd suddenly started acting sluggish and slept most of the time. Jeremy and I decided we needed to take her to the Vet and see if there was any problem. After a complete physical exam he asked us to wait outside while he did an ultrasound. Asking us to return to the exam room he congratulates us and announced Medvěd was to be a mama. The only question remaining is whether the father is Monster or Lupo Jr.
There was a long list of people wanting to adopt retiring War Dog so we knew if Monster was the father there would be plenty of good homes for the puppies. If Lupo was the father then the pups would be enrolled in the Worthington War Dog program. Now to scare the hell out of two war dog trainers. Contacting the Commanding Generals at Fort Connor I shared my best "upset father" image at my young and innocent daughter being seduced by a member of your base. We'll have to wait till the pups are born but Monster or Lupo better be ready to step up and accept their parental responsibilities. (The Generals couldn't quit laughing.) They assured us their two trainers would have an immediate command performance and Monster and Lupo would be put on notice of the complaint. "Thanks for making our day."
Four beautiful Wolf Dog puppies were born and after they could be weaned, they were enrolled into the Wolf Dog program and would provide protection for the members of our Brain Trust. We fathers had to keep better watch on our not so innocent daughter. Jeremy was failing in his parental responsibilities.
Jeremy was out doing a gun performance instruction for some State and Local police agencies. Without warning one of the local police drew his service pistol and emptied the clip into Jeremy's chest before other police officers could neutralize the threat. The shooters dying words were: "All faggots should be killed"!
Jeremy was immediately Med-E-Vac'd to the nearest trauma center and Worthington Security went into Lock Down mode. I wanted out to be a Jeremy's side and my protectors both stood in front of the door and I knew I'd never be able to get past them. They were just too skilled at hand to hand combat.
I used the POTUS card and demanded access to Jeremy. POTUS ordered my release but I couldn't get airborne until he had two Apache attack helicopters accompanying me to the hospital. They had orders to shoot first and ask questions later.
Entering the hospital with obviously armed security and a military MP escort we were met by the hospital officials and I wanted an immediately update on my partner. Jeremy was in surgery and they had their best surgeons working on him.
Jeremy had multiple broken ribs, punctured lung, punctured diaphragm, lacerated liver, bruised heart and a ruptured spleen. He was in critical condition, but he was a strong young man and the prognosis was favorable. Now the worse part... WAITING!
T&T were immediately on my com wanting to know what had happened. I told them to stay and enjoy the first vacation they had taken in over ten years. By the time they got here Jeremy would either be stable or dead. I'm just waiting to hear the outcome from the surgeons. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
It seemed like an eternity before a surgeon arrived in bloody scrubs to advise me of the outcome. (You'd think they would have some consideration of the family and not traumatize them more by wearing bloody scrubs.) They repaired most of the damage, but they had to remove his spleen. Jeremy would have a painful recovery, but he should make a full recovery.
The Governor of the State walked in accompanied by the head of the State Troopers. He apologized profusely for this happening during a state sponsored training event. Anything he could do, just ask! Please accept our sincere apology and believe not everyone in his state is so bigoted and narrow minded.
Finally, Jeremy was in a room and I could sit at his side and hold his hand. As his eyes opened and his brain started to function, I chastised him... with a table full of loaded pistols, rifles and automatic weapons you let someone shoot you. Some protection you are (as I burst in tears from the emotional stress of the day).
Jeremy accepted the fact he was going absolutely NOWHERE without an armed protector at his side. And if he thought Doc was a sadist last time, he hasn't experienced anything yet.
As finally Jeremy could be transferred to Fort Connor, I knew I had limited time and I was required to return to my Executive World at Worthington Industries. Doc met him at the landing strip and he was processed by security and immediately transported to Medical.
When I finally was allowed to visit with Jeremy, I cried admitting I wanted to stay but I needed to return to the office. I'd video conference with him constantly and please... just listen to Doc and get out of here and back into my arms quickly. I kissed the love of my life and every step I took toward my plane it seemed like I was turning my back on the man I love.
Returning to Washington, I entered the Penthouse to see T&T relaxing enjoying a double Scotch. "What in the hell are you doing here?" Without waiting for an answer... "Get your ass back to Fort Connor and be with the man you love. We'll take care of the office till you both can return."
Oh, how I loved my two dads and my protectors understood my immediate return to the airport and fast trip to Fort Connor. The Generals met me at the runway and confided T&T had warned them of my return. VIP quarters have been arranged for you and your Protectors. Just remember this is Fort Connor time and reveille is at 0500 hours. My protectors guaranteed I would be up, alert and functional! (SADISTS!)
Walking into Medical Jeremy was shocked and asked: "Whose running the office?" T&T and they kicked me out until you can return. They really do love us. Now let me just sit here and hold your hand. I miss you so much and you scared me to death. Jeremy reminded me that he had become a Worthington with his eyes open and knowing the risk. "I still will never stop loving you no matter how many times they try to kill me!" The nurse entered and gave him a shot for pain and Jeremy was in "la-la land" for the balance of the night.
Around 2300 hours Doc walked in the room and in his "Commanding General" voice demanded I return to my billet and get some sleep or he would sedate me and put me in the adjoining bed. "OK, OK, Doc... I'll take the hint!" I returned to my billet to sleep not knowing every man on base had volunteered to stand guard on my quarters and protect me.
I was an emotional wreck and definitely in need of counseling. I never heard or felt the door opening until Monster crawled into bed with me and I realized he had been assigned "Puppy Duty" for the balance of the night and I was the recipient of his tender loving care.
As I sat at the Generals table for breakfast the Chaplain sat beside me and commented he'd make time to talk with me when I could find time to be away from Jeremy. He was so right, I had so many concerns as to our lives together and our future. It wasn't fair for Jeremy to be the target because of my public image as the head of a major Military Defense Contractor.
I knew it was a total base conspiracy when I was holding Jeremy's hand and pouring out my heart the next morning the mess staff entered with a big bowl of vanilla ice cream, home made hot fudge topping and two spoons. (Doc's Rx [prescription] for a traumatized relationship.)
Over the next few weeks the Chaplain and I had some intense conversation regarding whether it was fair for Jeremy's life to be put into danger because of me. The Chaplain reminded me Jeremy would have died the next winter in the mountain if you hadn't come into his life. It is his choice to stand by your side and be your partner. He loves you and frankly "you are acting like an idiot"... Do you think Jeremy would walk away if you were the one injured. "I THINK NOT!" So, start acting like the educated member of the Brain Trust you are and cherish every minute you can share with this fantastic young man.
Damn, the Chaplain is being a "hard ass" and playing "hard ball" and "HARD LOVE"!
As I was walking into medical to visit Jeremy, everyone was rushing into his room and I've seen enough television to know what a defibrillator is used for. I immediately turned around and exited Medical and walked to the Meditation Garden. Sitting on the marble bench looking at the sculpture of Dale and Duke, I had my Barretta in my hand contemplating ending my life and committing a mortal sin.
Quietly, a young private sat beside me and asked if he could talk with me. Sharing his innermost thoughts... My best friend in life and the man who would have been my partner in life and eternity died in my arms in combat. All I could do is hold him, console him and watch him bleed to death. I miss him every day but I know he would want me to live, to love and to have a wonderful future.
Jeremy is alive, he is just experiencing some bad moments. He has the best Doc in the Army so trust your friends and pray to God for strength and guidance. Now put that gun back in your ankle holster before they put you on a suicide watch and you'll experience the fun of two MPs with Tasers being your constant companion 24 hours a day.
I handed the young private one of my business cards and told him anything he needed regardless of the time of day CALL ME! The PFC escorted me back to Medical.
Doc met me as I entered Medical and only commented he wonder where I had gone. Jeremy is fine, just some abnormal heart beats which happens when a body has received such traumatic injuries. Go hold his hand, kiss his lips and remind him how much you love him.
I turned to the Private and thanked him for his help. "Please join me when you have free time this evening for a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream with plenty of Hot Fudge Topping. I'd like to hear more about this wonderful man you loved."
I admitted to Jeremy what I had contemplating doing and he informed me if he could get out of bed I'd have my ass up around my shoulders. I told him about the wonderful private I met and how he had lost his lover in combat. Asking Jeremy for permission to do a little "match making" he only smiled and commented: "Don't sample the merchandise".
I turned to my secret weapon "Yuuto" and asked for his assistance in doing some matchmaking. Yuuto surprised me and confided he was writing a program in his free time which would match interest among soldiers. After all, a happy soldier is one that is going to reenlist. I told Yuuto this is now his primary project and as soon as it is ready to test, I'd give him the name of the soldier I wanted to match with a fantastic partner.
Within a week, Yuuto called and advised me the "Beta" version of his program was ready for testing. Giving him the name and ID of the Private, he pulled up his record from the Department of Defense Data Base and loaded it into his program. The program then searched through every man in the Army to find a match. 24+ hours later it printed out six prospective candidates for us to manually review. (Remember this was the Beta version and it wasn't without bugs.)
One person stood out from all others and we were fortunate enough he was stationed at a base in the United States. My next meeting was with General Montoya and admit what I had been doing these past few days. Sharing my unrehearsed meeting with the young private I asked his help in doing some match making and helping this young man to have a wonderful future. (The General would never turn down a chance to be a Match Maker.)
Confessing to General Montoya that Yuuto was developing a program to match interests among soldiers hoping to keep trained soldiers in the Army for 20-30 years. After all, a happy soldier has much more potential to reenlist. Asking General Montoya to have the man selected transferred to Alpha Zulu and have him billeted with the young private. After that we'll have to see if their needs and desires match.
Our prospective victim already had a high security clearance so having our HR dream team meet with him and make him an offer he could never turn down it only took 10 days and he was walking down the ramp of our daily cargo plane and being processed into Alpha Zulu.
General Montoya met with the soldier as he does all new arrivals to Fort Connor and then asked our private if he would give the new PFC a tour of Fort Connor as he will be billeted with you. Both men saluted sharply and exited the general's office. Now it was up to God and Pheromones to see if there was a match.
Not only was it a match it was a match made in Heaven... Both young men were doing the walk of shame at flag raising the next morning and the General and I had to smile knowing we had initial success.
Jeremy had his medical release from Doc and could finally return to Camp Phoenix for a normal period of rehabilitation. I was bouncing off the walls when General Montoya video conferenced and announced our love birds had just requested permission to be married. Jeremy was as ecstatic as I was and I advised General Montoya we hoped we were invited to the marriage ceremony.
After the Chaplain finished his multi sessions of counseling, General Montoya asked to meet with the two young men. Admitting his complicity in matching up the two young men he asked the Private if he remember talking with the young man in the Meditation Garden who was contemplating killing himself. The Private remember the moment vividly.
What you didn't know, he is the new CEO of Worthington Industries which is the largest supplier to the military in the United States. They built and developed the original "Fort Connor". You definitely made an impression on him and he had one of his "brain trust" (a computer genius) who was writing a matching program to help encourage men to reenlist in the Army. They used the program and searched through the profile of every man in the Army to find the perfect match for you... the PFC sitting beside you, who you fell in love with.
Roger Worthington wants nothing in return for what you did for him. But, I must tell you if we had lost this young man it would have meant a tremendous loss and setback to our military. In recognition of your heartfelt kindness and expectation of nothing in return you both will be promoted to sergeant prior to your wedding. I also would suggest you invite Roger and Jeremy to the wedding and bachelor party. Roger was most serious about any assistance you need in the future.
The Bachelor Party went as expected when you get 200+ gay men and alcohol together. I was surprised any of us could function for the marriage the next day. As the newlyweds were opening their presents, we were so happy no females were on base. They were well supplied with every device known to help two gay men enjoy fantastic orgasms.
The last gift was from Roger and Jeremy and it was a signed directive from SecDef assigning our newlyweds a TDA (Temporary Duty Assignment) to Worthington Industries to review the results of their Beta matching program for the next 30 days. Everyone roared their approval when Roger and Jeremy announced they would be billeted at Camp Phoenix while they were off base. Even our newlyweds were shocked seeing the magnificent retreated nestled into the mountains and with even more security than Fort Connor.
Yes, Yuuto did fly into Camp Phoenix and spend a few hours asking questions about how the program could be approved but at least 28 of the days they could spend naked and frolicking in this beautiful retreat and enjoy a future both men never dreamed possible.
The last night our love birds spent at Camp Phoenix, Roger and Jeremy flew in and wanted to reaffirm if at any time you two want to leave Alpha Zulu and the Army you will always have a place with Worthington Industries. And, when you get to Washington, don't be a stranger. Just tell security who you are, and we'll have them bring you up to the Penthouse. You can't miss the Washington Marriot and they have the best Prime Rib and Raspberry Cheesecake you'll ever eat.
That night Jeremy and I slept in bed and only cuddled enjoying the warm feeling of bringing two people together who were much in love. We have been so blessed in life and to not share this blessing with others would truly be a sin.
Suddenly, without warming... "ALERT, ALERT... EXPLOSION AT WORTHINGTON EXECUTIVE OFFICES!" Our protectors refused to let us exit the Panic Room and we would be required to wait till morning to know the extent of the damage and if anyone had been injured.
