General Perez was adamant he wasn't a politician, he was a trained Army officer. Accept the fact if we can accomplish our goals for my last four years of office, you will be elected President and will be the Commander and Chief of all our military services.

 

As for your partner, I plan to appoint Sebastian to replace our current SecDef who has advised his retirement due to health concerns. Congressional approval for him is a forgone conclusion.

 

And, for your "Golden Parachute", we both know you and Sebastian will have to request inactive status as the Six Star Generals of Alpha Zulu. If by some odd chance I'm not reelected, I'll reappoint you both back to the Commanding General status with Alpha Zulu. A very easy task considering those six stars are for life.

 

You have a fantastic four star base commander and an adjutant Colonel who can help him run Fort Connor in your absence. Considering I will be reelected, the first item on your "TO DO LIST" after you take your oath of office is to find your Alpha Zulu replacements.

 

And, you'll have my total support and the majority of the Power Brokers in Washington if you elect to run for President when my term is over. I guarantee I'll support your election campaign and use the full power of the Oval Office to make America realize what a fantastic President you will make.

 

Talk it over with Sebastian this weekend and you can let me know at Breakfast on Sunday. If Sebastian has you so devastated you can't walk to the mess, I'll visit you in your quarters for the answer. I'm getting pressure to make a decision and it is a decision I can't make till I know your answers.

 

I whispered to Sebastian as I left to make certain to send Enapay to Nirvana so many times he is a babbling hunk of flesh and has no recollection of saying "YES"!

 

Receiving confirmation from General Perez he would accept the Vice President nomination, I now had to be certain my lover and partner in life Piero would agree to be the "First Partner" if I was reelected. Piero just took my hand, dragged me off to our bedroom and destroyed my ass sending me to Nirvana more times than I could count that night and the Secret Service assigned to us that night couldn't believe the stamina of either of us.

 

I smiled at our security detail as we exited the residence the next morning. I only commented the secret of Piero being such a fantastic lover is the fact he is still in love with me every minute of every hour of every day. (Plus, the fact he is a two legged walking fuck machine who I truly love!)

 

I made frequent trips to Arlington to visit my old friend General Trevon. A life that would have had such a positive impact upon our country cut short in it's prime. Eventually, the Assassin would be found and I prayed God would have mercy on his soul because his ass was MINE!

 

Returning to the White House I had received requests to meet with my Director of Homeland Security and with the Vatican Ambassador. Which did I want to schedule first. "Let's make it the Vatican Ambassador, at least his meeting should be good news.

 

Within a few hours the Ambassador and our Secretary of State joined Piero and me in the Oval Office. "How can I be of service?" A Vatican Emissary is arriving this week and it will directly impact Fort Connor and Alpha Zulu. As its former Chaplain is now Pope he is already making progress proposing some drastic changes which will really bring the church into the 21st century.

 

Of immediate impact is Father Dominic, who is now Cardinal Dominic, will be the emissary arriving. We have a little "behind the scene" work to do before he arrives. The Pope has made arrangements for a "smaller" Pieta from the Vatican Museum Collection to be put on Permanent Loan to the Chapel at Fort Connor. Handing me the specs he asked if our maintenance would with the least amount of notice, modify our new "alcove" meditation chapel to accommodate it.

That was the easy part.

 

What few even in the Vatican know, Cardinal Dominic is arriving with the gift but also to elevate Fr. Emmanuel to the rank of "Arch Bishop of Fort Connor" and the spiritual leader of all Catholic Priests and soldiers in the United States Military. This will mean he will be doing more traveling than he'll want to do leaving Ft. Connor without a Catholic Priest. You may want to read in your Commanding Generals to start the search for an Associate Chaplain expediently.

 

Sunday's church service and dedication of the Papal Gift is definitely the time to elevate our good Father. Try to keep it as low key as possible. We all know how modest and reserved Fr. Emmanuel is. "This is one conspiracy I'll be happy to be part of and I will clear my schedule so I can also attend!"

 

Thanking the Ambassador for the good news, I asked him to keep the Secretary of State appraised of any changes or if he needed further assistance.

 

I buzzed my Secretary and asked her when the Director of Homeland Security is showing up. "He's pacing the hall as we speak!" "Send him in."

 

Offering the director to be comfortable and had his usual Coffee with cream and sugar served... It appears you have a problem that needs my attention.

 

While you were at Fort Connor, the Commandant of the Coast Guard asked to meet with me and advised he was retiring due to health concerns. He has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer which has also involved a number of additional organs. He is being admitted to Walter Reed on Monday and the prognosis is poor. I turned to the Director and commented it is now time to shake up the "Old Boy's Club" at the Coast Guard. You have a female Commander who is the only holder of the Coast Guard Cross in addition to numerous awards and recognition. She should have been made a flag officer long ago and there is no time like the present.

 

Cut her transportation orders and get her in the Oval Office by close of day tomorrow. And make sure you have a set of four star "shoulder boards" in your attachι case when you arrive with her. My schedule is light for tomorrow, so we can fit you in whenever she arrives. Time to give the "White House Sharks" some shock and awe. This will certainly get more than one sound bite with the media. Please courier her personnel file to me yet today so I can give her the introduction she deserves. I'll contact the Worthingtons and see if we can quietly slip her partner into town so she can be part of this historic event.

 

I turned to Piero and only commented: "Not bad for my first four hours back in the office!" Asking to have the White House OPS connect me with the Commanding Generals at Fort Connor almost immediately their smiling faces appeared on my computer screen. Filling in the Generals with the event planned for next Sunday we were all in agreement Fr. Emmanuel would acquiesce to the wishes of the Pope, but he wouldn't be a "happy camper" with all the notoriety. Asking to read in the Worthingtons, POTUS suggested it might be a good idea because CARDINAL DOMINIC will be arriving midweek, so we need to put this into high gear.

 

We Generals read in the Command Master Sergeant and swore him to secrecy and ask for any modification be made as discretely as possible. And, if Maintenance needed to make a great deal of noise to do it during our morning staff meeting and make me aware to have a LONG meeting.

 

Asking OPS to connect me with Luke, John and T&T their smiling faces appeared on my screen and were all too cheerful. Reading them in they didn't want to be around when the party is over because we were going to have one pissed off Arch Bishop on our hands. WE AGREED!

 

The Vatican Ambassador informed us the Pontiff is gifting our new Arch Bishop the Bishop's ring he wore and our friendly tailor will be delivering you his new purple Bishop's cassock and accessories some time during the week. Have maintenance discretely bring them to our office from your plane after you land.

 

I know you Worthingtons will want to do something special for our new Arch Bishop so get with the Vatican Ambassador and for once LISTEN to his suggestions and respect the quiet and shy man of God our Chaplain is. CONSIDER IT DONE!

 

T&T were in immediate contact with the Vatican Ambassador and invited him for dinner at the Penthouse, also encouraging Luke and John to be in attendance. "This is classified, so just put it on your Office Schedule as having dinner with your fathers."

 

After a wonderful meal with the Ambassador the five of them settled into the Penthouse Great Room as the Worthington's said how great an honor was being given to our new Chaplain at Fort Connor. We wish we could read you in on all he has accomplished but it is classified above "Top Secret"... let us just say he is truly worthy of the honor.

 

The purpose of this clandestine meeting is to pick your mind and attempt to determine an appropriate gift for our new Arch Bishop. The Ambassador mind immediately thought of gifts family members usually present to a priest at this moment in their life. One item the Arch Bishop will be using frequently is a Crozier Staff. And, the reputation of the Worthington and the Jeweled sabers you present is public knowledge. Remember, this is a modest, introverted young man so be discrete... PLEASE!

 

Thanking the Ambassador for his input and especially his candor, we are looking forward to hosting Cardinal Dominic when he arrives in Washington. Let us know his flight information so we can have transportation and security meet him.

 

The Four Worthington relaxed in the Penthouse Great Room and commented: "Our Little Johann... an Arch Bishop... we must be showing our age! Asking OPS to place a phone conversation to the owner of the Jewelry establishment used by the Worthingtons, even at the lateness of the hour he would gladly take their call considering the amount of business given to his establishment by this family.

 

"How can I be of service?" Was the warm greeting they received. First, what we are about to tell you can go no further than those in your organization required to make it happen. A new Arch Bishop is being ordinated shortly and we'd like to present him with a Crozier Staff. Nothing over ostentatious but definitely higher quality than what can be purchased out of the Catholic Supply Houses. Also, he will need a Bishop's Pectoral Cross and YES on this you can be extravagant. How soon can you have your design team have artwork for our approval and we need it completed by noon on Friday.

 

A gasp was heard over the conversation and the owner said his design team would have the artwork ready for our review when the shop opens in the morning. Where would you like us to meet to review the artwork. "Let's make it 1000 hours in our Marriott Penthouse and please be our guest for Brunch."

 

We four Worthingtons enjoyed a working brunch and by the time the four of us ended tweaking the Crozier Staff Art Work our jeweler was wondering if he could have it done on time. Also, our new Arch Bishop would need a Bishop's Pectoral Cross of the highest caliber. This is where you Worthingtons can invest your money in a fine piece of jewelry. We advised him cost wasn't an issue. If you have to have your people working 24/7 just bill us for the expense.

 

We stated some standard design request for the Crozier Staff. A stainless steel point for durability. The finest of White and Yellow Gold, A four sided neck of the staff with the sides being the six star emblem of Alpha Zulu, The Presidential Seal, the Army Shield and the Alpha Zulu Shield. (Along with a custom case for traveling and a floor stand.)

 

As the night was starting to wind down and our body clocks never called it a day until after midnight, I had a desire to do something special for Piero. Piero is the Hereditary Duke of Bern and his father was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar. As our family had been surfing religious jewelry prior to the arrival of our jeweler, I saw a very modernistic Knights Templar ring that could be custom made in Platinum and with the finest of gemstones. Totally worthy of the man who shares the burden of the President and is considered one of the Worthington family. Our jeweler is going to have a coronary when I ask him for one more custom item to be delivered by Friday. I'll have it sized as a signet ring so Piero can continue to wear his family crest ring he had made for Win and himself.

 

It was no surprise, all the Worthingtons exiting the Penthouse bedrooms the next morning were walking very gingerly. Yes, they were still in love and no one was going to say anything derogatory. Luke and John would be heading into their office as soon as the Art Work arrived and the decisions made. T&T would be talking with the Jeweler further and absolutely ruining his day and the week of his artisans.

 

At the White House, a very nervous Coast Guard Commander was pacing the hall outside of the Oval Office as her "boss" the Director of Homeland Security tried to tell her to have a seat and relax... there is nothing to worry about. "Nothing to worry about, who are you kidding. It isn't every day a Coast Guard Commander has a command performance with the President of the United States!

 

As the secretary for POTUS advised them they could go right in, POTUS warmly greeted them and ask the Commander how she enjoyed her coffee: "Hot and BLACK." POTUS introduced Piero his partner and advisor, he commented these are the tasks I enjoy in life. Recognizing individuals for outstanding service to our country. Your command leads every other Coast Guard unit in the quantity of drugs interdicted attempting to be smuggled into our country. You have taken grave risks to save lives to ships in trouble and their passengers and crews. You have never let politics enter into your command decisions. Every man and officer who has served under you have given fantastic reviews of your ability and command decisions. Even those you have reprimanded. It is for this reason I am asking you to be the next four star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard.

 

The Homeland Security Director had to nudge her to get her to answer she was in so much shock. POTUS continued the current Commandant will be entering Walter Reed on Monday so this is going to be a fast learning curve for you. But, considering you are the only person in the Coast Guard to be awarded the Coast Guard Cross and the only woman in the military authorized to wear the service ribbon of Alpha Zulu I have no doubt you can do it.

 

Unfortunately, I do need an answer NOW! Stating she needed to discuss it with her partner, POTUS asked his secretary to show our other guest in please. As the Commander's partner entered the Oval Office she was in tears and only commented her partner would be a stupid fool to turn down such an opportunity. You have dedicated your life to the Coast Guard, and this is not only for you but for every woman in the military.

 

The Commander humbly replied: "With the help of God, I humbly accept." POTUS entered the White House Press Room and nodded at his Press Secretary. Ladies and Gentlemen, the President would like to make an announcement.

 

POTUS walked to the podium and showing emotion which was rare for the man he admitted he had accepted the resignation of the Commandant of the Coast Guard due to medical considerations. No information will be provided by my office as to the nature of his medical condition considering the man is guaranteed his privacy under HIPPA. I am proud to announce my selection for the new 4 star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard, Commander M. McLain Matteson. The Commander is the only recipient of the Coast Guard Cross and the only woman in any branch of our military authorized to wear the Alpha Zulu service ribbon. Her command leads every Coast Guard unit in the amount of drugs interdicted attempting to enter our country. Her Coast Guard unit has on countless times risk their lives to successfully rescue the crew and passengers facing life threatening situations at sea. Her leadership will lead the United States Coast Guard into the 21st Century. Now I will ask the Homeland Security Director to administer her Oath of Office and she will be available for a short Question and Answer session with you, the press.

 

An hour later POTUS brought the Q&A to a close and directed any further inquire to the Public Affairs Office of either Homeland Security or the Coast Guard. Commenting to the new Admiral as they exited: "You now know why we call them SHARKS!"

 

Returning to Homeland Security with the Director, he advised her to return to the Coast Guard Headquarters and the current Commandant will be prepared for the formal change of command. I have assigned a Chief Petty Officer as your driver and is waiting for you at the front of the building. I am available to you for any assistance you require 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You'll find a mountain of briefing books on your desk in your new office. I sure hope you are a speed reader. Again, CONGRATULATIONS ADMIRAL!

 

As the new Admiral ordered her driver to take us to their Headquarters Building, she asked her partner where she was staying in Washington. POTUS has me billeted in one of the Executive Suites at the Marriott, just check with the receptionist and meet me after you get done blowing the minds away of every man in your new office. I'd love to be a fly on the wall and listen to the macho comments when you aren't around. "Just so they do their job, they'll keep it." I don't care if it is a man or woman, I expect them to work to the same level I do. Kissing her partner as she exited the Limousine at the Marriot, it was onto Coast Guard Headquarters and to make her mark in History.

 

Win and Piero returned to the Oval Office and looking at his schedule Win commented: "We have 45 minutes till the next appointment, are you in the mood for a `quickie'?" As both men quickly adjourned to their third floor residence, it was a fast and furious session of intense stress management which left them both sitting uncomfortably the rest of the day. (The price for having a passionate partner and a man I love as much as I do the day we were bound for all eternity.)

 

The Jeweler was having a meltdown just thinking about the work to be done in such a short period of time. Yes, he had the artisans to do the work, but they would be working long hours all week to make this happen. His artwork for a unique Crozier Staff was spectacular and the four Worthingtons approved it with few adjustments. Then T&T hit them with a high quality Pectoral Cross for our new Bishop. And I want it tasteful and only the finest of gem stones used. And, one last addition... while we were web surfing last night getting ideas I came across a Signet Ring for the Knight's Templar. Our good friend and partner of POTUS is the Duke of Bern and his father was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar. We would like this reproduced in the finest of metals and gems. Just make it with a sizing bar so it will be easy to adjust when he decides which finger on which to wear it.

 

The Jeweler rose and again thanked the Worthington for their business. He'd email them the final proofs this afternoon and if they needed anything changed, please contact him immediately. His artisans would be working around the clock to have this order finished on time.

 

Enapay and Sebastian were having some intense discussions at whether or not to accept the offer made by POTUS. As to being his Vice-President candidate, I could express my interest but that decision could be withheld until the National Convention in August. If by chance POTUS wasn't reelected, it would only be a 3 month hiatus from Alpha Zulu and Fort Connor.

 

As for Sebastian... even feeling inadequate, he would accept the posting of becoming the new Secretary of Defense. He could mirror the existing SecDef once POTUS announced Enapay as his running mate. That would give him 5+ months which would be an easy learning curve.

 

We decided to give POTUS our answer when he arrived at Fort Connor on Sunday and asked how much we can share considering we needed to start actively looking for our replacements.

 

Cardinal Dominic arrived on Worthington Actual with Luke, John and T&T Friday afternoon... (They'd never miss a Friday night feast if at all possible.) Asking the Worthingtons to get settled in our Guest rooms we had a few questions for our old friend and now Cardinal Fr. Dominic.

 

As difficult as it was to find you for our old Cardinal Chaplain we aren't having much luck finding a Catholic Chaplain which would be a good fit for Fort Connor and Fr. Emmanuel. Our old friend said he had a few ideas and if he could borrow a private office and a phone line he'd see what he could do to be of assistance.

 

Advising Cardinal Dominic retreat was at 1700 hours and he didn't want to miss the Friday night feast. Fr. Emmanuel was surprised to see his old friend now wearing the scarlet robes of the Prince of the Church. His first comment to his old friend Cardinal Dominic was: "I see our old friend is on a power trip now that he is the Bishop of Rome!" (Oh, you have no idea!) Everyone enjoyed our Friday night feast as old friends and then Cardinal Dominic excused himself as he had a few important phone calls to make. He'd catch up with everyone later in the evening.

 

I learned quickly that Gay Catholic Priests have their own "secret society" and support mechanism considering the homophobic attitude of the Catholic Church over the centuries. Only in recent years has there been a more temperate attitude toward homosexuality in the Catholic Church. The LGBTQ community is being accepted back into the fold of the Church, but I doubt if total acceptance will happen in our lifetime.

 

As we all were conversing in our Great Room consuming too much of the Nectar of the Gods, Cardinal Dominic joined us and asked to make his a "double and NEAT". Asking if he was successful, Cardinal Dominic gave me the name and military ID of an Army Captain that would be the perfect fit for Fort Connor. I only know of one problem. Whatever squad is chosen to give the Captain his "Welcome Gang Bang"... well, one or more of them may be having Doc sew their asses back together the next morning. BE WARNED!

 

Pulling up his Army personnel file, one first had to notice he was one hot stud. Glowing review from his commanding officers both Army and Religious. Asking the Cardinal if he had discussed him joining Alpha Zulu he only smiled as the man was awaiting his transfer orders. Contacting our HR Dream Team, they quickly commented don't we ever get a night off. NO! "You get one when we get one!" Giving them the name and military ID of our prospective addition, have transfer orders cut with priority transport and get him to Fort Connor expeditiously. MANY THANKS!

 

From the obvious erections present in all of us it was a certain fact the men of Fort Connor would accept him with open arms and open flies. Just wait till the men get to see him at our clothing optional pool. Sometimes I wish I was just a simple NCO. We Generals miss all the fun.

 

Saturday, Cardinal Dominic met with our Sr. Staff and broke the news he had brought a gift from the Vatican for the men of Fort Connor. If Fr. Emmanuel hadn't noticed, the maintenance staff have been modifying your new side altar all week discretely, as I would ask the Generals to now have maintenance VERY CAREFULLY move and install the Carrera Marble statue of the Michelangelo Pietΰ. I am privileged to dedicate it at our Mass on Sunday to the Glory of God and from the eternal love and respect of the Bishop of Rome.

 

Yes, love was alive in the General's quarters on Saturday night. Only the bedroom soundproofing kept Cardinal Dominic from having a major case of "Blue Balls". As the Generals and the Worthingtons escorted Cardinal Dominic to flag raising it was apparent to everyone attending, love still existed with their leaders.

 

As Cardinal Dominic informed Fr. Emmanuel he had a few items to discuss with the Generals prior to joining him for Mass. It won't take long, I'll catch up with you.

 

Asking if the Command Master Sergeant could join us, I need a co-conspirator to help me pull this off. After Fr. Emmanuel delivers a short homily, I will then be consecrating him as an Arch Bishop. I'll need his Bishop Cassock, his Bishop's Cross, his Crozier staff and here is the Ring from his holiness. As the Worthingtons opened the presentations case of the Crozier Staff it was indeed tasteful, yet elegant. (I was impressed with the addition of the military and presidential seals the Worthingtons had encompassed in it.) His Bishop's Cross was truly T&T at their finest. Studded with jewels that cost more than what the Bishop would make in his lifetime, it was a gift of love from a family of dedicated Catholics.

 

SHOW TIME... and right on cue OPS announces: "Air Force One requesting permission to land." Granting permission, I hurried to the landing strip to greet my old friends. POTUS and Pietro were dress in "Black Tie" Tux and were taking this service with the utmost of respect for their old friend. Piero looked so sharp wearing his Gold Chain of Office as the Duke of Bern and POTUS wearing the Duke's crest on his Tux jacket. The Worthingtons were waiting for the "right moment" to present Piero with his Knights Templar signate ring. It was a true gift to honor his father.

 

Cardinal Dominic rose and started his part of this service of consecration and dedication. On behalf of his Holiness the Pope, he was privileged to present to the men of Alpha Zulu a replicate of Michelangelo Pietΰ for your new side altar. This is meant for every person of Alpha Zulu regardless of their religious convictions. The Statue has been blessed by the Pope and in my small way I am here to dedicate it to the men of Alpha Zulu.

 

Now, if all my conspirators have not been discovered, we are welcoming back to the alter the newest Arch Bishop of the Catholic Church Arch Bishop Johann Emmanuel! Johann entered wearing the purple robes of an Arch Bishop. As the Cardinal lay hands on our new Bishop, he privately commented to Johann the ring you are being given was the ring worn by the Pope when he was the Arch Bishop of Fort Connor. The Bishop Cross and Crozier Staff are the gifts of the Worthington Family to their good friend and former imp.

 

Rise and be greeted by your flock. I introduce to you my children, Arch Bishop Johann Emmanuel, Bishop of Fort Connor and the spiritual advisor for all Catholics in the United States Military.

 

Yes, the Mess staff was read in on the events of today and true to form they had an outstanding decorated cake to celebrate our new Bishop. It didn't matter their religious affiliation... they were happy for this good man and his dedication to the soldiers of Fort Connor regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof.

 

After enjoying a fantastic lunch equal to or even better than our Friday night feasts, the dignitaries and our Senior Staff adjourned to our Great Room and we Generals broke out a case of the Nectar of the Gods. Before we get too carried away, T&T rose and commented the Worthingtons had one last gift to present today. For His Highness the Duke of Bern, would the President of the United States honor us by presenting it on our behalf.

 

Handing Win the ring box, he opened it and his eyes betrayed him. We all knew it had to be outstanding and we waited for him to present it to the man he loved. As he presented the gift to Piero, he commented he knew of no man more worthy to receive this gift.

 

Piero had tears in his eyes and only commented if he didn't have such a jealous partner he'd kiss every Worthington in the room. It was a toss up to determine which Worthington blushed the deepest shade of crimson but Win whispered to Piero to save all that passion till we are back at the White House. Tonight we are rekindling our honeymoon and woe be it to anyone who causes us to be disturbed.

 

As it was time for POTUS and Piero to leave, we walked them to Air Force One and gave POTUS our decision as to his offers made to us. Our decision and timeline was rationale but please tell only the people necessary and use the utmost of discretion in sharing this with anyone.

 

As Win and Piero were boarding Air Force One, I smiled at my Commander-in-Chief and his partner commenting it was about time for you two to join the "Mile High Club"! I got a snappy salute from my Commander-in-Chief and a big smile with a single finger gesture from Piero.

 

Finally, the Worthingtons boarded Worthington Actual with Cardinal Dominic. Luke and John would drop off their guests at the Worthington Executive Airfield and T&T would have the Cardinal as their guest until he returned to the Vatican.

 

As Cardinal Dominic was finally leaving the Penthouse and heading to the Airport and returning to the Vatican, he wanted to share one last item with the Worthingtons. His Holiness is extending to you Worthingtons an invitation to be his guest at the Vatican whenever the four of you can juggle your schedules and make the trip. He would invite you for a private mass and a State Dinner in your honor. Few people in the world will ever know what the Worthingtons have done to prevent war, bring peace and prevent needless lives being lost. Just let my office know your availability. (The Cardinal blessed us and then was escorted by our security detail to the airport and his departure.)

 

T&T looked at each other and only commented "Mama Bear would be proud of us Worthingtons today!" Only the Leibs in Israel, the Vatican and a few senior members of the Fort Connor staff knew the importance that Arch Bishop Emmanuel would have in making world peace a reality.

 

Just as POTUS and Piero were getting romantically motivated after a wonderful seafood dinner guaranteed to excite ones libido and a bottle of fine sparkling Italian wine... they were walking hand in hand toward their shower to start their night of passion and love. Without warning POTUS's wrist com went off and OPS advised Luke Worthington on an urgent video com request for you. As Win grabbed his robe he headed toward the monitor in his residence and Luke better hope this was extremely urgent or Win would reactive him and bust him to a private.

 

"Thank you for taking my call Mr. President!" We have another fiasco brewing in Chicago and I fear it is similar to the last one that sent many of the police, politicians and judiciary to jail for running a multi-state child sexual slavery ring. Two young boys have been arrested for vagrancy and placed in juvenile detention. The detention director contacted our Military help line as both parents are deployed and shared this information with us, he feared for the children's safety and life. The children were staying with friends but no legal documents were signed by the parents prior to their deployment giving their friends custody of the minors.

 

Adding the Attorney General of the United States to the call he asked the AG to get involved and personally place the two young men in federal custody until this can be sorted out. I'll contact the Chief Justice and he'll be waiting to sign a writ placing the boys in Federal Custody as soon as you can get it to him. I want you and your team airborne and on the way to Chicago within the hour.

 

To say all hell broke loose was an understatement. When the Attorney General of the United States walked into Juvenile Detention at 0200 hours with an armed FBI tactical team demanding to see the supervisor in charge immediately. Handing the supervisor the Writ, he demanded the two minors be turned over to him immediately. When the supervisor commented he didn't have the authority the AG quietly informed him... Your authority is in your hand and unless you honor the federal writ these officers will place you in arrest for Obstruction and violating a legal federal court order. I might also add, if anything happens to either of these boys on the way to our custody, I will personally prosecute you for murder and seek the death penalty. "Do we understand each other?"

 

As the AG was waiting for the two minors to be turned over to him, phone calls had to have been made because within minutes of each other The Mayor of Chicago, the Chicago Chief of Police and the Cook County Sheriff all arrived at the Juvenile Detention Facility.

 

"What in the hell is going on here?" The AG quietly commented he was serving a federal writ and placing two young boys into federal custody. If any of you get in our way, I will have you arrested on Obstruction charges and failure to honor a federal court order. Now stand back and let us do our job. If you want to appeal this court order you may want to note it is signed by the Chief Justice of the United States. GOOD LUCK!

 

As two trembling boys were placed in body armor, they were escorted by the FBI tactical team to an armored vehicle and within the hour were aboard an FBI Jet headed to Washington. The story received while debriefing them was appalling. It was sounding all too clearly not all of the child sex ring was prosecuted before and they had crawled out of their lair and were abusing children again. The testimony of the two young boys was adequate enough for Congress to appoint a special prosecutor with broad subpoena powers to immediately investigate and report back to Congress. Anyone failing to respond to the subpoenas would be immediately arrested and held in federal detention. An FBI task force was appointed to assist the Special Prosecutor however necessary. POTUS was at the head of this "lynch mob" and would gladly hang each and every culpable person by their balls from the White House Flag Pole.

 

POTUS ON A SECURE COM FOR EITHER GENERAL, now how is he going to screw with our lives. Generals, I need you in my office as soon as you two can get here and bring our new Arch Bishop with you.

 

Arch Bishop Emmanuel was trembling in his shoes having a command performance in front of POTUS. As we three entered the Oval Office POTUS asked his secretary for Five Coffees STRONG AND BLACK! First let me say I made the decision to award our Arch Bishop his fifth star when the Cardinal elevated him. It will be done during my first 100 days of my new term or if by chance I'm not reelected it will be done before I leave office. Believe me Arch Bishop you will be earning that fifth star.

 

It looks like we have another child sex slave ring working out of Chicago. We have two imps in federal protection and with the preliminary findings of the Special Counsel appointed by Congress this corruption crosses all political boundaries, state line, bureaucrats, law enforcement, judiciary, perhaps even member of congress and federal officials. The more we dig the more this appears to be a major stain on our great nation. I will not let this be a stain on the legacy I leave to our country.

 

Chaplain, I'm asking you to work with these two boys and help them to gain their self esteem and believe they truly were the victims. Generals, do what you do best and protect these imps. You have the full executive power of this office to use deadly force in protecting them if you feel they are in jeopardy from anyone. We have no idea of how deep this conspiracy runs. As we develop more children who will agree to be witnesses, we will add them to Fort Connor for you to protect. I have no idea of how many children, but I do have a gut feeling Congress will be building a new federal prison before this is over.

 

The Attorney General should be arriving with two very traumatized imps shortly to turn over custody. "PROTECT THEM AS IF THEY WERE YOUR OWN SONS!"
