In Command School we are taught how to do a Death Notice with and without the support of a Chaplain. It is the hardest part of the job any officer can be asked to do. Even with battle hardened soldiers it still devastates them when a member of their family or all of their family is killed and they are so far away and there is so little they can do.

 

Command School never prepared me for having to tell an imp all of his family and relatives have been assassinated and he is alone in the world. I only hope the bond he has with Luke and John plus the support of the men of Alpha Zulu will help him to accept he will never be alone.

 

At the conclusion of our morning Staff Meeting, I advised the staff of Melech loss of his family. I requested the Command Master Sergeant to give me 15 minutes after Luke and John arrived to then bring Melech to join us in our Conference Room.

 

Asking OPS to have Luke and John report to our Conference Room... two terrified imps entered only wondering what they had done to warrant a command performance in front of the Alpha Zulu Generals. They were both in shock when I started by saying "I need your help"!

 

Last night all of Melech's family was assassinated by insurgents supported by The Family. The Chaplain and I feel you two are what will make the difference on how he survives this traumatic news and how it will impact the rest of his life.

 

Normally, we would put any soldier or imp on a suicide watch but I feel doing this to Melech would only exacerbate his traumatic news. I'm asking for you two to be his "second skin"... never let him be alone even when he is on the "throne"... be there with the TP for him. Help him anyway you can but most important he is just going to need you as his friends. I'll read in Mama Bear and I know she will support you any way she can. Colonel De will always be there if you have any problems, but I want this to be an "imp to imp" support mechanism. You are "family" to Melech and he trusts you.

 

As Luke and John sat in shock at what I had just shared with them... they felt pride that I would trust them with such an important task and terrified they might do something wrong. There is no manual written on how to tell an imp his family is dead and he is all alone in the world. I know Luke and John will do their best and now I have to face the most traumatic task of my career in the Army.

 

As the Command Master Sergeant requests admittance to the Conference Room, Melech enters wondering what was happening. To the best of his recollection both he, Luke and John have not gotten into any trouble to warrant any discipline.

 

I asked Melech to join us and the Command Master Sergeant to wait outside. Please close the door when you leave. Melech looked at Luke and John who were almost in tears. Whatever was happening, Melech knew immediately it had devastated his two good friends.

 

"Melech, yesterday insurgents invaded the Knesset and killed a number of the members of Parliament. Your father Uri was killed. Another group simultaneously invaded the Ministry of Defense and your uncle David was killed. Also, additional insurgents invaded the office of the Chief Rabbi and your uncle Jacob was killed. Your family compound was overrun and all of the special forces soldiers died protecting your family members who were also assassinated."

 

Melech just sat there in shock and frankly I don't know how I would have reacted to such horrific news. Luke and John got out of their chairs, ran to Melech and wrapped their arms around him as tears burst forth... Melech lost the battle with his emotions and join the duo in a cascade of Alligator Tears.

 

Melech thanked me for telling him personally. He knew how difficult it must have been for me. (Damn, this imp is more of an adult than some of the soldiers here at Fort Connor.) I assured Melech that both Israel and the United States would retaliate for this act of war. There would be retribution once it is determined the individuals responsible.

 

I advised Luke and John the three of them had the day off of school and to enjoy themselves at the arcade and laser tag. When they left, I quickly advised the range master Luke, John and Melech were restricted from "live fire" until I personally authorize it.

 

Asking the Command Master Sergeant and Colonel De to join me, I asked both men to work out a shadow detail just in case Luke and John make a mistake and give Melech a chance to harm himself. Just be discrete... we don't need Luke and John thinking we don't trust them with this task.

 

Shortly before noon OPS advises Mama Bear on video.com for me. BRING HER ON! "General, I just heard the sad news... how is Melech handling the loss of his family?" Far better than I would. "I'm flying into Fort Connor this afternoon and I'd appreciate it if you would advise Luke and John of my arrival and ask my two monsters to invite Melech to stay with our family in the Penthouse. The trio can still do their homework online and with Colonel De in residence when I'm at the office... it will be a far safer surroundings than Fort Connor."

 

There is no "play book" on how to help an imp who has lost all of his family to religious zealots. Right now, I feel Melech needs the love of a family and I promise on my eternal soul Melech will always be part of the Worthington Family. Melech will be treated with the same love and affection as I do my sons Luke and John.

 

I asked OPS the location of Luke and John and made it a point to go to them. Finding them at the Video Arcade wasting an abundance of quarters... I told Luke and John that Mama Bear was flying in this afternoon and she would like you to return to the Penthouse with her for a few days.

 

Melech looked like he had lost his last friends until Luke and John in their exuberance told Melech to go pack, he was going with them. "Just think... Marriott medium rare hamburgers with Texas fries!" YUMMY!!! In the flash our three terrors were running back to the imps bunker to pack up for their trip. Yes, the love of Mama Bear, the imps and the entire Worthington extended family is what will help Melech to know he will never be alone.

 

Hikaru couldn't believe the time requirements to be the Regent and the surrogate father for Daika. He would never do other than his utmost best both as Regent and helping Daika grow into a man worthy of the Chrysanthemum Throne.

 

Finally, one afternoon Hikaru made a decision that would shake the world of the Imperial Court. Hikaru was taking Daika to meet his Marine Special Forces Friends. The Guards at the Camp entrance waived Hikaru's Limousine through and the driver knew exactly what barracks Hikaru wanted. Without warning anyone, Hikaru exited his Limousine and with the Crown Prince in his hand the entire barracks was in shock when the Crown Prince and heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne walked in with Hikaru. There was many a Marine who was standing at attention naked as the day he was born.

 

"At ease and join us." Hikaru introduced Daiki to his Marine friends and introduced each of the men by their first name to Daiki. In this barracks we are not members of the Imperial Family... we are friends first and foremost and these are men with whom we can be totally open and honest.

 

The Base Commander was barely coping when the Gate Guards advised him Hikaru was on base. Within the hour everyone on base knew that Hikaru had brought the Crown Prince and Heir Apparent with him. The Base Commander ordered every member of their base security to surround the barracks and not to allow anyone entrance. Oh, was Hikaru fuming when he exited the barracks to find a massive security contingent surrounding him and the Crown Prince.

 

Hikaru was now in his role of Regent and woe be it to the Base Commander if he challenged his authority. "Get rid of this security detail, NOW!" The security I brought with us is more than sufficient. Also, the Crown Prince and I will be having our evening meal with our Special Forces friends. I expect the normal food and no formalities as to our being present. I want Daiki to know what life is really like and not all the trappings that usually comes with a royal visit.

 

Hikaru and Daiki walked with the men to their evening meal. The men were the envy of the entire base and the soldiers were beaming with pride. Hikaru only smiled commenting this was the first trip to visit his friends when someone didn't remind him of owing one of them a "blow job". Whispering to the squad leader to express his thanks for not embarrassing him in front of his young charge.

 

Hikaru would soon learn very little would ever embarrass his young charge. Daiki approached Hikaru a few days later and asked if he would contact the Hashimoto family and invite Kichōna to visit the palace as his guest for the weekend. Hikaru only smiled and the `ole Matchmaker in him began to surface again.

 

The Senior Hashimoto was shocked at the invitation and advised his grandson is honored by the invitation and would graciously accept. "Grandpa Hashimoto" did fine accepting OK's homosexuality, Hikaru hoped he would accept Kichōna if it became evident he was gay also.

 

Kichōna arrived in time for their evening meal and surprisingly it was nothing but ordinary Japanese cuisine. Hikaru and his partner smiled a lot watching the involuntary body language between the two young men sharing their meal. When it got to the point of them feeding each other sushi, Hikaru knew this was more than just a "one night stand".

 

Hikaru advised the Palace Guard to protect the Crown Prince but allow him enough privacy to entertain his guest. Unless the Crown Prince's life is in danger Hikaru demanded to be notified prior to any action being taken against his guest.

 

Hikaru was walking mighty funny the next morning as the body language of the young imps had definitely motivated the hormones of his partner. No matter how sore Hikaru was in the morning he always was ready to provide for the physical needs and desires of the man he loved.

 

Kichōna really didn't know how to act when he was in private with Daiki. Finally, when Daiki realized this problem with Kichōna... Daiki resolved the issue by wrapping his arms around Kichōna and giving him a passionate kiss that had him filling his boxers with his fresh hot cum. Daiki begged forgiveness for being so "forward" with his friend. No answer was spoken as Kichōna wrapped his arms around Daiki and gave him a kiss that had HIS boxers soaked and his young hot cum running down his leg.

 

Daiki smiled at his new friend and only commented he assumed his friend would have no problem with them sleeping ala natural tonight in one bed. Kichōna took the hand of Daiki and led the way to his private shower as both young imps no longer had any concerns about modesty.

 

As Kichōna and Daiki joined Hikaru and his partner for breakfast the nest morning... looking at Hikaru walking bow legged to the table Daiki only whispered to Kichōna... "It looks like someone got lucky last night." Kichōna whispered in Daiki's ear... "Tonight is your night to get lucky!"

 

Arriving at the Penthouse... Melech was star struck at its beauty and lavish appointments. John only whispered: "Wait till you see Camp Phoenix!" As John and Melech raced off to the Game Room, Luke wrapped his arms around Mama Bear and thanked her for being such a wonderful and caring Mother. Being with our loving family will do more good for Melech than anything we could do at Fort Connor.

 

John and Melech will be battling it out in the game room till we have to break for dinner. I have been inconsiderate and not talking with his new friend Daan. I know he'll understand once I tell him what has happened but I really have not been honorable leaving him in the dark.

 

Luke's Skype call got answered on the first "ring"... "Where have you been, I've been so worried!" Please forgive me, one of the imps at Fort Connor had all of his family killed and he has been needing my brother John and me to help him through this rough patch in his life. When are you coming for a visit? I miss you so much!

 

John and Melech came running into Luke's bedroom and Luke proceeded to introduce his brother and his friend to his long distance friend with whom he was falling in love. John commented to Melech lets go get cleaned up for dinner so these two perverts can have their online jerk off session in private. Melech laughed as Luke and Daan turned multiple shades of red. After John and Melech left Luke turned to Daan and only commented it wasn't such a bad idea... I'll be done with our evening meal in a few hours... are you going to be available. Pulling out a big tube of lube and a dildo from under his pillow Daan commented: "What do you think?" "Just remember, dildos don't count... I'm still a virgin!" (Both imps were roaring in laughter as John and Melech reminded Luke dinner was in 10 minutes.)

 

Aiden was a shy introverted imp and Shawn and I found it difficult to "read" him at times. He was adjusting to life at Fort Connor as well or even better than most new imps but we wondered if we were truly fulfilling our roles at Fathers.

 

We never tired of him sitting beside us or between us at wrapping his arms around one or both of us. We liked the tactile nature of our son and only hoped we could fulfill his needs as fathers. A very embarrassed red faced Command Master Sergeant knocked and requested admittance to our billet. "Can we speak confidentially in your office Sirs?"

 

One of my squad sergeants has informed me your son has propositioned one of his men and the soldier would like some assurance he'll still have his stripes if he accepts. As Shawn and I smiled we assured the Command Master Sergeant there would be no retaliation just so our son initiated it, and everything was consensual. Doc has checked him out and there are no medical reasons the two can't enjoy each other.

 

After the Command Master Sergeant left, Shawn and I talked to some length about our son and his sexuality. We both agreed Aiden wasn't doing anything we didn't do at his age. In fact, he was probably more knowledgeable of sex than we ever were. Only, he learned the hard way from working the streets to put food on the table and a roof over his head.

 

When our son entered our quarters shortly before curfew we smiled at him and asked if he had a good night. Our red faced son sat with us and informed us he had no doubt that we had been informed of what he was doing tonight. There isn't much that can be kept from the Fort Connor Grapevine. (Our imp is a fast learner.)

 

Dads, you still have time to return me to the orphanage so I will be totally honest with you. I was a street punk... all on my own and had to support myself. I sucked a lot of cock and took plenty of hard cock up my ass. I'm certain you read it in my social services report.

 

What the report didn't tell you is that I loved getting fucked. More than once I had an orgasm without touching myself. Some of the men who fucked me I should have paid them if I had the money... they were fantastic. You have a pervert for a son who loves to suck cock and getting fucked. I'll pack my bags in the morning and you can return me to the orphanage.

 

"Oh, ye of little faith!" You aren't doing anything that Shawn and I didn't do at your age and we didn't need the money to survive. Whether you finally determine if you are gay, bi or straight all both of us want is for you to be happy and have a wonderful future.

 

As for the men of Fort Connor... Any one of them would have to be nuts if they didn't enjoy a night with you in bed with them. The only requirement we make of the men is that the imp has to initiate the relationship and no coercion is used or harm comes to the imp. If that were to happen the man wouldn't have to worry about a court martial... he'd face a pack of Wolf War Dogs naked without any padding. I doubt if he would ever be able to hurt another imp again.

 

Now we should turn you over our knees and paddle your bare ass for thinking so little of us that we would return you because you were gay. But, then... you might just like getting spanked! DADS!!!

 

Aiden asked how Melech was coping with his bad news. We told him Mama Bear had absconded with all three imps to spoil them in her Penthouse for a long weekend. So for the next few days you have our complete attention. Plenty of bonding time with your old dads. We are new at this role of being fathers so don't abuse us but we welcome any tips on how we can improve our conduct as your fathers.

 

Wrapping his arms around our necks Aiden told us we were perfect just the way we are. He was the luckiest imp in the world having two such great fathers. Shawn and I only hoped and prayed that after all the trauma of growing up on the streets our son finds a man to love and cherish when he is ready to accept being an adult.

 

Luke, John and Melech spent a week with Mama Bear in the Penthouse and finally on Sunday afternoon arrived back at Fort Connor. Advising my trio of terror they had to report to Doc for their off base blood work, as soon as Doc had finished they were off running to find Aiden and the four horsemen of the apocalypse were off to rein terror on Fort Connor. It was no surprise to Shawn or me to find four naked imps hanging from our flagpoles at sunrise. I hated to tell the Command Master Sergeant to cut them down. (But, I got plenty of pictures for the family album before it happened.)

 

When Luke, John and Melech heard through the grapevine that Aiden had propositioned one of the soldiers and spent the night in bed with him... our imp trio was jealous and after their evening meal mobbed Aiden in his bedroom and closed the door behind them. "OK, spill the beans... what did you two do while we were off base?"

 

"You really want the truth?" "I sucked his cock and enjoyed the flavor of his ball juice and he fucked my brains out till my ass was raw for a few days!" IT WAS FANTASTIC! He was hung like a bull moose and was the most considerate lover I have ever had. Luke and John then realized Aiden wasn't a virgin and they truly were jealous.

 

John and Melech knew their mouths would be active most of the night and poor Luke was relegated to his online jerk off session with Daan. The next afternoon after school had concluded Luke knocked on my office door requesting admittance. A very red faced Luke was embarrassed telling me about the young man he had met during his trip to Belgium with Mama Bear. He would be visiting Luke at the Penthouse in the next few weeks and I'd like to invite him to visit Fort Connor. His father is well vetted within NATO so security shouldn't be an issue. And, POTUS has already approved him visiting us in the Penthouse just so he has a command performance at the White House before he leaves.

 

I smiled at Luke and just told him to warn his friend about our blood thirsty doctor. Otherwise, just make sure you two play SAFE! "GENERAL!!! You are worse than Mama Bear!"

 

Back in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo the rumor mill in the palace was blazing that the Crown Prince had an overnight visitor that was a lowly commoner. Finally, the Palace might be coming into the 21^st century. If the rumor mill had known our pair of imps had enjoyed multiple sessions of 69 before they slept that night I doubt if some of the old ladies would have survived the news.

 

It was fast approaching the time when a "Regent" to "Crown Prince" discussion was needed about the young imps growing sex life and appetite. Hikaru had immense personal feelings about his young charge growing into adulthood and having a fulfilling life even if he was gay. But, also there were political and religious considerations of him being the "Heir Apparent" and that he would assume the Chrysanthemum Throne and be the Emperor of Japan.

 

The relationship between Daika and Kichōna was becoming obvious that the need for a "fatherly" discussion about his budding sexuality was needed. Hikaru faced a discussion he feared having with Daika. Making a hastily arranged trip to visit his Special Forces friends, he calmly admitted his problem and he had no idea of how to address the subject. Asking his friends how did your father address your sexual developments when it was obvious you were having intimate relations? The majority admitted their fathers avoided the discussion and nothing was ever shared. What they learned was either from books, the internet or in the locker room.

 

The few that admitted their fathers had talked with them about sex were so embarrassed and the discussion was basically useless. "OK, dad, I'm not a virgin anymore!" And, the discussions basically ended. The men wished Hikaru the best of luck and to let them know how it goes.

 

Hikaru lay in bed with his partner as they discussed the problem that Hikaru now faced as Regent. When asked how Hikaru was taught about sex Hikaru blushed and commented the soldiers of Alpha Zulu were so wonderful in teaching me how to enjoy sex and not to be embarrassed. His partner smiled at himself and only commented... time to pull in a favor from POTUS and solve your problem at the same time.

 

It was perfect timing. Asking the Palace switchboard to put him in contact with the President of the United States the smiling face that appeared on his view screen welcomed Hikaru as a long lost friend. "How can I or the United States government be of service?"

 

Explaining his problem and asking if Crown Prince Daike and Kichōna Hashimoto could spend some time at Fort Connor and with the men and imps of Alpha Zulu. Hikaru hoped both of the imps would learn what it is like to be around the average person and it definitely will be a sex ed lesson like none other in the world.

 

A smiling POTUS only commented to CONSIDER IT DONE! Just let the Secretary of State know when they will be arriving, and I'll have the Alpha Zulu Generals advised of their arrival. The rest is in the hands of fate and of God! DISCONNECT!

 

The Senior Hashimoto knew the value his son "OK" had being in residence at Fort Connor. He was honored to allow his son to be the companion of the Crown Prince in residing with the Alpha Zulu program. "Grandpa" was well aware of the budding romance between the two imps and knew the ramifications as to the Chrysanthemum Throne and to the continuance of the Hashimoto line. Hikaru assured him "where there is a will there is a way"... please TRUST ME!

 

Friday morning and Mama Bear sat exhausted behind her desk in her palatial Executive Office of Worthington Industries. Finally, her desk was clear of work and the thought of actually having a semi long weekend for her to enjoy her family... well, occasionally miracles do happen.

 

Mama Bear was doing a little matchmaking herself. (Hikaru can't have all of the fun.) Asking the Worthington switchboard to connect her with Prince de Merode the connection was immediately completed. Asking if his son had any plans for the weekend and the following week... Mama Bear invited him for an impromptu visit and to spend a week with her son at Fort Connor. Advising Mama Bear Daan would have his bags packed before I finished making the plane reservations. I'll let you know his flight and tentative arrival time.

 

Luke, John and Melech arrived shortly before their evening meal was served at the Penthouse. (No imp would turn down the Marriott medium rare "burgers" and Texas fries.) Mama Bear casually asked Luke if he would accompany her to the airport later that evening as she had a visitor to pick up. John and Melech can keep themselves occupied while we are away which had all three imps snickering to the max.

 

As Luke joined Mama Bear in her limousine he thought to himself another boring international executive to impress... but, this is what is in the future for me so I might as well learn to fake enjoying it. The PA system announced the arrival of Daan's flight as Luke and Mama Bear waited at Customs which was a mere formality as Daan flew on a diplomatic passport. Luke was in shock as his friend was ushered through customs and they raced to each other. Mama Bear had to smile as they kissed uncontrollably unfettered by any rude comments made by strangers. Luke only commented "They must be jealous"!

 

Luke couldn't control himself when Mama Bear informed him Daan was not only staying the weekend in the Penthouse he was also returning to Fort Connor with him and spending the week. (Just remember there are enough flagpoles to fly five imps if necessary!)

 

When POTUS advised the Generals of Luke's guest for the week he was informed since when did the Four horsemen of the Apocalypse turn into FIVE! POTUS only smiled and commented the men of Alpha Zulu have coped with worse. If they survived ANGUS they can cope with the "Five horsemen of the Apocalypse"!

 

Entering the Penthouse Luke was dragging Daan off to his bedroom commented he was staying with him during his visit... NO ARGUMENTS!!! As the bedroom door closed behind Luke and his guest Mama Bear had one call to make... Tokugawa. Apologizing for the lateness of the hours but will you please immediately add Daan de Merode to the Connor AI primary protection list at the Penthouse, Camp Phoenix and Fort Connor. Please and thank you.

 

As John and Melech exited the game room as Luke and Daan were exiting their bedroom... Luke introduced Daan to his brother amid less than desirable lewd comments being made by John. Luke took it in stride and only gave Daan another passionate kiss and told his brother to "Eat your heart out"!

 

Daan thanked Mama Bear for the opportunity to be her guest and commented his body was still on Belgium time and it needed SLEEP! Luke took Daan's hand and walked him back to their bedroom. Mama Bear doubted if much sleep would be had by any of the four imps tonight. Ah, young love is so beautiful. Mama Bear had a difficult time coping as Melech continued through puberty he was growing and starting to look more and more like Michael, the biological father of Luke and John and the only man Gloria had ever loved. Mama Bear dreaded the day she would be forced to tell Luke and John that Melech is their UNCLE.

 

The Penthouse resounded with the sound of four marauding imps at sunrise and Gloria only smiled knowing her sons were indeed enjoying their weekend with "MOM".

 

POTUS was about to ruin the day for his Alpha Zulu Generals as OPS announced a video.com wanting to discuss a personal matter. POTUS congratulated the Generals on the new addition they had arriving at Fort Connor this week. "I hear romance is in the air!" And, on the top of romance... Hikaru is sending the Imperial Crown Prince Daike and Kichōna Hashimoto to live at Fort Connor for an undetermined period of time. Just let the men of Alpha Zulu treat them as any other imp in residence and I'm certain it will be a productive exposure to puberty for them.

 

Just let our two new imps room together in the imps bunker and be ready for all the complaints about not being able to sleep from there fellow imps.

 

Mama Bear faced reality and joining her family for an early brunch. Knowing the imps would be complaining about starving shortly after noon regardless, she prepared herself to face a new day with her sons and the loves of their lives.

 

Mama Bear and her wrist com had a love/hate relationship. It was noted to always sound off at the least opportune time. Sitting at breakfast with the imps and Colonel De, OPS announced an urgent call from Admiral McLain Matteson of the United States Coast Guard. "I'll take it in my study... bring her on!"

 

Ms. Worthington... thank you for taking my call. I don't know if you remember me, but we met at the Presidents Inauguration. Would it be possible for us to meet ASAP. This is a discussion that would be best done face to face.

 

Advising Admiral Matteson she was spending the weekend in the Penthouse with her two sons and their two guests... please feel free to join us for our evening meal at 2000 hours. And, bring your partner and make an evening event. Dress code is CASUAL and I'll advise security of your pending arrival. Plan to arrive early for cocktails.

 

At lunch Mama Bear advise our four imps of the pending arrival of Admiral Matteson and her partner for our evening meal. They are our guests so I expect you two urchins (Luke & John) to be on your best behavior or expect to spend next week on Garbage Can Duty.

 

Admiral McLain and her partner arrived promptly at 1900 hours and Mama Bear warmly greeted them and welcomed them to her home. Introducing Luke, John, Melech and Daan the adults adjourned to the Great Room and everyone was in agreement 20 year old Single Malt Scotch was the drink of the evening.

 

Gloria was curious about how the Admiral was doing with her staff adjusting to a woman at the helm of the Coast Guard. "Other than still grumbling about hiking down the mountain in West Virginia they have adapted well. I had to replace a few but that was to be expected."

 

Adjourning for dinner the adults enjoyed the excellent Marriott Sea Food Buffet and of course the imps devoured their favorite Medium Rare Marriott Hamburgers with mountains of Texas fries. (Imps are walking garbage disposals when it comes to hamburgers and fries.) After enjoying the famous Marriott Raspberry Cheesecake for desert, the adults adjourned to Mama Bear's study to finish the meal with 100 year old brandy and the business of the evening.

 

Admiral Matteson thanked Mama Bear for allowing them to intrude on her family time. If it wasn't of dire importance I would have never asked. First I'd like to share a little history. During the Drug War I commanded a group of Coast Guard vessels to control drug shipments from exiting by the river network of Columbia. During the tour a young female Lieutenant was killed. She was a good personal friend and her husband and son were close to me and my partner. We all know the risk of serving in the military but it was a loss which we survived by the emotional support we shared.

 

Last night her husband a Lieutenant Commander was on patrol and apprehended a narco sub. After a running battle, the sub finally stopped and when the hatch opened the first man out threw a grenade onto the Coast Guard vessel. Without a second thought, he threw himself upon the grenade saving the lives of countless members of his crew. His commanding officer is in the process of nominating him for the Coast Guard Cross and SecDef informs me he will also be nominated for the Medal of Honor. Both awards if made would be well deserved but he leaves a son who has no living relatives. At the moment he is living with friends and I'd like to see if he can be made a ward of the Alpha Zulu Generals rather than going in the Child Welfare System.

 

Asking Admiral Matteson if she could have a moment Gloria asked OPS to connect her with the Alpha Zulu Generals. "Generals, nice to see your smiling faces at this hour... I see you are coping well with our four monsters absent from Fort Connor." (The Generals only smiled at the comment.) Asking if their schedule was free for the next day... would you please join me in the Penthouse and bring Aiden. We have an imp to save and it is going to take all of us working together to be successful.

 

Brunch is at 1000 hours so plan accordingly and tell Aiden I'll make certain there are plenty of hamburgers and fries for him. The Generals only smiled and told Gloria she definitely knows how to bribe an imp.

 

Dress code is casual but pack your dress uniforms and a suit for Aiden also. Sorry to keep you in suspense but we need to do a lot of planning and discuss how we can best help a precious imp survive the most traumatic moment of his life.

 

The funeral is planned for Friday with internment next to his wife at a private cemetery. The Coast Guard Chaplain was in shock and honored when Cardinal Emmanual contacted him and offered to concelebrate the funeral mass. Both the Coast Guard Chaplain and the Commanding Officer were in shock as the guests started to arrive. Admiral Matteson and her partner they expected but not when she arrived with the two six star Generals of Alpha Zulu. When SecDef, the Joint Chiefs, the Director of Homeland Security were seated they wished they had prepared better. Panic set in when POTUS and his partner were the final guests seated. Yes, notable people were honoring the sacrifice made by this brave man. Gloria only smiled and knew the stage was set to help the young son to survive this major trauma of his life.

 

Everyone wondered what POTUS said to the young imp as he left the service. Those of us who were close enough to hear would never divulge what POTUS meant only for this brave imp: "Your fathers sacrifice has yet to be honored to its fullest"!

 

Admiral Matteson and her partner joined the son for the graveside service. The young imp was brave but terrified of his future. Finally, he asked the Admiral what would happen to him. He had no living relatives and the Admiral only commented: "God will provide... trust in him".

 

As their limousine stopped at the Executive Entrance to the Washington Marriott the Admiral asked if the young imp would accompany her as she wanted to introduce him to some of her friends. The astonished imp who was used to living in Military Housing was in shock at the beauty of Mama Bear's Penthouse. Suddenly, he was mobbed by Luke, John, Daan, Melech and Aiden. Everyone was talking at once and it was total mass confusion. The Generals only smiled and commented: "Welcome to our world"!

 

When the Marriott staff wheeled in the evening buffet we thought they were serving the entire compliment of Alpha Zulu when the hamburgers arrived. I forgot to remember imps are bottomless pits when it comes to hamburgers and fries.

 

We adults enjoyed our Prime Rib Buffet medium rare and I actually felt sorry for the men of Alpha Zulu having to settle for mess cuisine. After we ate, we adults adjourned to the Great Room to talk about the problem we all knew existed. What we didn't know is how intuitive the imps were as they were killing their electronic demons in the Game Room. When they realized their guest was homeless and his father was just killed while deployed... Luke and John never hesitated and ask OPS to connect them with POTUS. "We have a BIG ASK!" POTUS knew the question was coming but he never believed it would be from Luke and John. Luke and John were so proud of themselves when they finished their conversation with POTUS and proudly announced that Aaron had a new home and family at Fort Connor.

 

As the adults were in deep discussion on how to broach to subject to the traumatized young imp... OPS announced POTUS on a video.com. Lowering the big screen in the Great Room Gloria commented we were just talking about you and how to best approach our new imp and convince him to become part of Alpha Zulu.

 

POTUS had a big smile and only commented Luke and John had just contacted him and ask him to make Aaron a ward of the Generals and assign him to Fort Connor and the Alpha Zulu program. Have the Worthington Foundation Attorneys prepare the necessary documents and let me know when they are ready for a judge to sign. This is one "ASK" I'm proud to be part of the conspiracy. DISCONNECT!

 

Gloria was never prouder of her sons and as the hoard of imps exited the Game Room everyone was excited that Aaron now had a home and a family. Aiden smiled and only hoped this hunky imp would be his roomie. The Generals only chastised Luke and John commenting they might have asked before making Aaron their ward. Luke and John only smiled and commented: "You two need to practice SAFE SEX"!
