*=Gone but not forgotten

 

Bob and Danny were elated to be the parents of two beautiful young men... Adrian who is four years older than Joseph. Combined with James, Abe, Dale and Shawn we had a powerhouse of young imps to give T&T a challenge for their leadership roles as imps at Fort Connor.

 

Adrian was in awe of Matt and me and couldn't believe they we were his next door neighbor. "Our door is always open to you and your brother. Anything we can do to help you adjust to Fort Connor, you only need ask." Of course, your fathers deal more with the day to day operations than we do but we are still more than willing to help in any way possible.

 

The men of Fort Connor were elated to have three new imps in residence, especially considering they were the sons of their commanding generals. Security was a fast learning curve and a few extra ALERTS were immediately scheduled to get our "newbies" familiar as to what can happen. Even they saw the humor in T&T ending up naked in their bunker during an ALERT. Dale and Abe assured Adrian sex with the men was allowed just so it was consensual and the imp initiated it. Adrian knew what he had to do so after school as he knocked at the door of his fathers' office and asked if he could meet with both of them.

 

I want to be perfectly honest with you two if you really plan to adopt both of us. "I just ask you don't give up on the little guy just because his brother is a pervert." Joe is a great kid and I've done everything I can to protect him. Whatever you decide about me, please give him a loving home, he deserves it. As for me, my die was cast when I sold myself on the street. If sucking cock and getting fucked wasn't bad enough I have to admit to you two I actually enjoyed it at times. Yes, you have a real full blow gay son and I won't blame you if you decide to return me to the orphanage. I don't deserve two great men like you in my life.

 

As his watering eyes turned to uncontrollable tears Bob and Danny wrapped him in their arms and assured him he was theirs forever! Whether he was gay, bi or straight he was their son and all they wanted was for him to be happy and have the best future possible. (That really started the tears flowing out of control!) Dale and Joe were walking past and heard Adrian's cries of anguish. Joe rushed to his brother's defense and screamed at his two fathers if they didn't want his brother as part of their family they could return him to the orphanage also. Joe held his brother and told him he knew what he did to provide food and a roof over their heads. He would never desert his brother. Dale, not to be left out turned to Bob and Danny and commented: "How could you hurt two such beautiful young men? I thought you were officers and gentlemen? APPARENTLY NOT!"

 

Bob and Danny struggled to regain control of the conversation. OK, you three, have a seat and let's talk. First: No one is being returned to the orphanage. Second: Whatever Adrian did to support Joe was out of necessity not by choice. Third: Dale, I thought you knew better than to draw a conclusion without knowing all the facts!

 

Dale was asked to take Joe and go do whatever they had planned. Bob and Danny needed to talk further with Adrian. Turning to Adrian they both assured him he was loved and he would be a cherished member of their family. When you meet your big brother Hank ask him about his life on the street and how we treated him. Perhaps then you'll believe you are here to stay forever.

 

But, we do have a problem we have to discuss with you and we had hoped to give you a few weeks to adjust to Fort Connor before giving you the bad news. A few years ago we had a child that had been sexually abused and he nearly bled to death from an infection that wasn't readily discernable. All your blood tests came back normal but Doc wants to run one last test just to be certain this won't happen to you. Whatever the results of the test you are staying with us. You won't like the test prep and Doc will give you some light sedation so you won't know anything during the test and not much after the test is over till you recover from the anathestic. Again, this is for your protection and we will never take any risks when it comes to your safety.

 

Adrian's tears turned to sniffles as he told us to get Doc to schedule the tests as soon as he can so we can have this part of his life in the past. Then you'll know everything about me and if you still want me as your son I'll be the happiest person at Fort Connor. Bob and Danny looked at each other and hoped he felt the same after he finds out what has to be done to prep him for the test.

 

As they explained to him the number of enemas required to clean him out so everything could be visualized Adrian assured his fathers he had his ass played with by so many guys in so many different way a few enemas wasn't going to embarrass him. Would we stay with him and help him get through the test. If he wanted them to stay, no power on earth would keep them away.

 

Doc was brought up on his wrist com and it was decided to run the test after the morning staff meeting. Let's get it done and find out the results. Bob and Danny were a basket case after watching their son get enema after enema. The volume of water and the number of enemas never fazed Adrian. Bob and Danny were ready to ask for the sedation be given to them when it was time for the test. As Doc administered some light sedation he started to insert foot after foot of fiber optic scope up Adrian's rectum and Bob and Danny were in shock and how many feet ended up in their son's body. As Doc removed the scope he assured the parents no abscess or anything of a life threatening nature had been present. Adrian did have a few small rectal tears and Doc would suture them while he was still sedated. We would just have to monitor his diet for the next week and make sure it was the soft diet Doc would order from the mess.

 

Adrian recovered from the sedation and was a happy boy with the results of the test. He wasn't as enthused at the soft diet for the next week but understood after Doc told him he had repaired a few tears some men had given him when they had sex with him. Doc assured him good anal sex isn't going to result in rectal tears. These men were only interested in their pleasure and to hell with what happened to you.

 

Bob and Danny took their son back to their quarters in a wheelchair, helped him into bed, tucked him in and let him sleep off the sedation Doc had given him. The base grapevine announced to the men that Adrian came through his test with flying colors. Adrian wrapped his arms around his fathers and told them if they still wanted him as their son he would be proud to have them as his fathers. Bob and Danny were bursting at the seams when Matt and I stopped in to see how the patient and his fathers were doing. Dale was livid at not being told what was happening to Adrian so he could have prepared Joe for the news. Joe climbed into bed with his brother and wouldn't let go of him. The two brothers were inseparable.

 

Matt and I tried to explain to Dale that Adrian had the right to privacy and not telling Dale had nothing to do whether or not he was trusted. Not everything in life is fair and somethings you are just going to have to accept.

 

A few weeks later Adrian stopped by medical and asked Doc if he had a few minutes to talk with him. Of course, Doc would always make time for an imp. With what you did repairing my ass will I be able to be fucked. Doc had to smile as he assured Adrian he had only repaired the damage caused by some men who should be stripped naked and castrated. Did Adrian remember the first time he got fucked? HELL YES! It was like someone shoved a 2x4 up my ass. Well, your ass is now as tight as it was before you ever got fucked. If you use plenty of lube, have patience and have a considerate partner you can enjoy as much anal sex as you desire. And, whatever you tell me is protected by medical confidence unless it deals with "life and death" or base security. I'm here for you if and when you ever need me 24 hours a day. Adrian assured Doc he was in no hurry to give up his cherry ass again but wouldn't rule it out in the future. Thanking Doc he scampered out to join Dale, Shawn, Abe and his brother in a hot game of pinball. Time to be a kid again.

 

When it came to our new son Shawn, it was a match made in heaven. Dale, Shawn and Abe were joined at the hip and inseparable. Abe was starting to get hints from his fathers that they wanted him to return to Israel. Ari video conferenced with Matt and me asking that I start to prepare Abe for the inevitable of returning home. I suggested to Ari to recommend to Uri and Andrew that adopting another son might make the transition back much less traumatic for Abe and there never are enough parents for the children waiting to be adopted.

 

It was only a few weeks later that Abe announced that his fathers wanted to adopt another son and was asking him to return home so they could be a family together. It was a sad and tearful farewell when Uri and Andrew arrived to pick up their son and return to Israel. We knew it was best for Abe and knew we had made the right decision when we decided to adopt Shawn. Now we had the task before us to get two overly mature kids to start acting their age. (We aren't making the mistake of asking T&T to help us with that task again!)

 

James was reveling in his new found sexuality and T&T were happy to provide him with all the referrals he wanted for as much sex as he could handle. Even with the discomfort of cleaning out his ass after a multi-fuck session James loved the feeling of getting fucked and hot cum blasting deep into his gut. There was no doubt in his mind that being gay was his lifestyle and he sure hoped his dad was serious about not caring whether he was gay, bi or straight. James was surprised when his father video conferenced with him advising he would be at the Pentagon in a few weeks for some meetings and asked how he felt about returning to Brussels when he returned. "Dad, I'm sure I'm gay and if you want me I'd love to live with you." There were tears in his fathers' eyes as he assured his son all he has ever wanted was for him to be happy. As for being gay, just plan on adopting plenty of children so I can spoil my grandkids. Now there were two sets of tears flowing uncontrollably. James came to Matt and me that evening and thanked us for all we had done for him. His father would be at the Pentagon in a few weeks and he would be returning to Brussels when his father returned.

 

Matt was the first to comment the only way he'd approve the transfer if James came and gave us both a big hug. (Payment in full was rendered with immense affection!) Now go tell Dale and Shawn so they don't hear it from the grapevine.

 

Matt and I knew all was well with our three kids when we went to kiss them goodnight and all three were sleeping naked in the same bed. They had a bond as "brothers" that would exist the rest of their lives.

 

A dull and boring staff meeting was suddenly interrupted with the ominous ALERT, ALERT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! As everyone immediately dispersed and made certain all the imps were locked securely in their bunker I contacted OPS to ask what triggered the ALERT? Apparently, a frontal assault on Worthington Executive Offices had failed but protocol dictated The White House, The Pentagon, The Penthouse and Alpha Zulu went to full ALERT until all the facts were determined. The Executive Offices sustained both civilian and security causalities but as per protocol there were no surviving intruders. Intruders were met with lethal force. Now, the question remained, how long to stay at a full ALERT? I opened the bunker and met with the imps. I told them to email there teachers and ask for their class assignments. They may be in the bunker for an extended period of time. I hoped T&T and Dale were able to help Adrian, Joe and Shawn through their first real extended ALERT.

 

Matt and I made the rounds of the men on base advising them the cause of the ALERT and that we had no idea of how long it would last. The men knew we'd make arrangements if it was to last for any period of time. We always had and always would. We knew our mess staff was up to any challenge we present to them. The key to happy soldiers are well fed soldiers especially during an ALERT.

 

Worthington Executive Offices was closed for a week while temporary repairs were made and the body parts and blood of the intruders removed from the walls, floors and ceilings. Yes, being proactive and having access restricted with armed security definitely saved lives. Hayao needs to get a major bonus for being so proactive. I knew Fort Connor would be on full ALERT until it was determined the source of this latest incursion and the probability of an attack upon Fort Connor. Logan and Andrew had followed in the footsteps of Luke and John and didn't always "play nice with others". This could be a full blown attack on every facet of Alpha Zulu or just someone pissed off at Logan and Andrew. (That is why "Intelligence" gets paid the big bucks!) Leave it to Ari to let us know Mossad had determined Logan and Andrew had pissed off a couple of Russian dissidents refusing to sell them military grade armaments. At least I knew Logan and Andrew had principles and not just looking to make a fast buck. The down side was not knowing how far the dissidents would go to try and extract revenge. Alpha Zulu still wasn't out of the crosshairs.

 

As Matt and I went to the imps, Bob and Danny went to the men and explained what had happened and that we were paying the price for Logan and Andrew having integrity. Selling military hardware to dissidents could just as easily be used against us in the future. Make sure to thank them for having the balls to stand up for principals the next time you see them.

 

POTUS wasn't so gracious and had a CIA Black OPS team eliminate the threats with extreme prejudice. Finally, we could stand down from ALERT after two solid weeks of constant tension. The men of Fort Connor knew that without Worthington Technology countless dozen if not hundreds of their brothers would have been lost over the years so whatever they could do to assist any Worthington was an investment in the safety of the American soldiers as well as the men of Fort Connor and the imps we protect.

 

As soon as we cancelled alert status T&T were on the prowl to get their "itch" scratched after two weeks using the palm of their hands. They were utterly in shock when all four squads advised them their priorities were: 1) a hot shower 2) 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep 3) clean laundry and only then would they consider inviting our two resident nymphomaniac for a night of pleasure. T&T were so desperate they broke out their long thick black dildos and spent the night shoving it up their ass as they jacked off. The morning staff meeting went out of control with laughter when we heard all four squads turned down our little nymphos for a hot shower, sleep and clean laundry. T&T were learning they weren't irreplaceable.

 

Dale, Shawn and Joe were laughing out of control when they heard about T&T breaking out their big dildos when all four squads turned them down. At least Adrian had some empathy for T&T but then he didn't have the history the men had with our two resident juvenile delinquents. They may be reformed juvenile delinquents but their reputation hangs over their heads still today.

 

Spring break finally arrived at Harvard and to the shock of Matt and myself Biff and Hank decided to spend spring break with their families both at Fort Connor and the White House. They wanted to surprise Bob and Danny so "mums the word" and they wanted to meet their new "brothers". It was no surprise when Worthington 5 requested permission to land. Matt and I advised Bob and Danny we were free and would handle the security detail. Even the security team was shocked when Biff and Hank deplaned and asked the guys to keep quiet so they could surprise their dads. Matt and I dropped them off at their quarters and had to smile as they walk in ready to surprise their dads. The shock of surprise resounded through their quarters and we "next door neighbors" complained about all the "noise" (Evil aren't we?).

 

Adrian and Joe came running into the common area wanting to know what all the noise was about. Seeing two hot well built studs being held in the arms of their fathers they were still in shock when their dads told them to come on over and meet their brothers. Joe was airborne with his arms wrapped around Hank's neck. Adrian extended his hand and was immediately encased in Biff's arms. Biff whispered into Adrian's ear: "In this family we don't do handshakes, we kiss and hug"! Adrian thought his cock would explode in his BDUs as Biff's tongue snaked down his throat. "Welcome to the family!!!"

 

Hank extended the invitation: "Let's go raid the mess and get some ice cream. Time to get to know my brothers"! For the next few hours Hank told Adrian and Joe about his life on the street and all their dads had done for him. Biff told them about T&T pimping out his ass without his consent and the gang bang he took to retain the respect of the men. Yes, Biff knew all about Hank's life and they still were madly in love. As Adrian and Joe sat listening in awe to Biff and Hank they started to believe they had the two best dads any young men could have. Just when they couldn't believe it could get better, Biff told them his real name and that his dad was POTUS. Our two new additions just about wet their BDUs. Adrian was in shock. Not only did his dads run a world famous military organization but his big brother had POTUS as his father-in-law. WOW... he expected at any moment to wake up and find this was all a dream.

 

Joe finally asked if he could be excused. Dale and Shawn had asked for his help in destroying Delta squad in a pinball challenge. As he scampered off Biff and Hank turned to Adrian and said lets go back to our quarters so we can give you a proper welcome to our family.

 

The quarters were silent when the three walked in and Hank took the lead as he passionately kissed Adrian sending shock waves throughout his body and engorging his cock till it was obvious distending his BDUs. Biff didn't need an invitation to rip the Velcro and expose the beautiful body of this young adolescent. As Hank's tongue caressed Adrian's tonsils his fingers toyed with his sensitive nipples. Adrian's cock was leaking to the max as Biff licked the precum from its head and proceeded to deep throat his cock till his lips were down to the base. Hanks talented fingers caressed his tight pucker as he wet a couple and managed to wedge them in the tight opening. The minute his finger tips hit Adrian's prostate his cock erupted in Biff's mouth. Biff swallowed the copious amount and licked his lips as he and Hank switched places. Hank wet his fingers and replaced Biff's so he could caress Adrian's prostate. The desired effect was an immediate hardon which Hank deep throated without reservation. Biff attacked Adrian's tonsils as his fingers continued to toy with Hank's tits. Hank was a mass of quivering flesh and all three knew it would only be a matter of minutes before another blast of ball juice filled Hank's mouth. As Biff muffled Adrian's scream of pleasure Hanks mouth was filled to overflowing with the sweet cream from Adrian's balls. All three collapsed on the sofa with Adrian in pleasure overload.

 

As Adrian returned to reality he realized that Biff and Hank still had major hardons which needed to be drained. With a hand on each erection he pulled them close together and showed them some of the talented moves he had learned during his time on the street. It only took a few minutes and Adrian was coughing up a massive amount of sweet ball juice as two young cum producers gave him every ounce of cum stored in their balls. With cum dripping from his lips and running down his face, Biff and Hank licked off the residue of their lovemaking and passionately kissed their new brother. "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!"

 

As the trio barely got there BDUs on their bodies and an innocent look on their faces... two smiling fathers entered their quarters and smiled at three "sons" who had "GUILT" written all over their faces. "What have you three been up to this afternoon?" "Just welcoming our new brother to the family!" was the reply. Their fathers just smiled at the three and suggested they get the air freshener out of the bathroom and use it before their young brother returned. He may be young but he isn't dumb! YUP, caught by their dads and the dads were happy Adrian was accepted by his older "brothers".

 

As Adrian was helping Hank and Biff unpack in their bedroom Hank asked if he could ask a very personal question of Adrian. "After the `welcome to the family' you just gave me you can ask me anything." Your ass was so tight I didn't think I'd get my fingers out of it. I thought you lived on the streets? The reply was simply a statement of fact: "Yes, I lived on the street and got fucked by plenty of men. When Doc did his exam of my ass he surgically repaired it and told me it was near cherry again. I'm in no hurry to give up my cherry in the near future. The guy who busts this cherry is going to be some special man in my life. Hank thanked him for his candor and trust. Biff and Hank assured Adrian he not only had two older brothers in his life he had 200+ "big brothers" who would protect him with their lives. You don't have to have sex with them to show your appreciation. They thrive on hugs and kisses. That goes for our fathers and the Generals also.

 

Just be careful if you ever do an "INCOMMING" into their bed to cuddle you don't land on anything important and put them on the disabled list. It isn't comical explaining to POTUS why you can't walk because your son landed on your balls. All three lost it in laughter as Joe came running into the room to find out what he missed. Even Joe saw the humor and now knew he had to be careful if and when he ever decided to do an "INCOMMING" into bed with his fathers.

 

The four sons decided to invite Dale, Shawn and the Generals to join them for a popcorn and movie night. Time for a night of cuddling with their fathers and they had no reason to be shy when it came to showing how much they loved the men in their lives. Matt and I couldn't turn down such a gracious invitation and what we really did was to get to know Adrian and Joe so they could learn we could be trusted as much as their fathers. I don't know how many times I've cuddled with my sons watching "Lady and the Tramp" but cuddling with my sons I've cherished every moment of the movie.

 

The boys ordered two big bowls of buttered popcorn and a large helping of ice cream for dessert. The mess staff was happy to provide the help to bond our families together into one. I just reminded the boys (including the big boys) hugs and kisses to the mess staff in the morning to show our appreciation.

 

After we tucked the little ones into bed for the night we fathers had a candid chat with our sons as to how college life was treating them and had they adjusted well. Hank commented that PE class was a challenge after Biff spent the night before fucking his brains out. Biff complained that sitting in a boring lit class wasn't fun either with a sore ass from Hanks big cock. Adrian had the perfect solution: "Unless you are ready to be asexual and live the life of a monk SUCK IT UP AND QUIT COMPLAINING!!! You are a married couple for God's sake!"

 

We four fathers had to roar at the wisdom of our mature teenager. All four of us fathers had plenty of experience limping to formation after a night of passionate sex not to mention sitting with our asses on fire during some boring staff meeting. These are memories we will never forget and have no regrets. Years from now when Biff and Hank have children they too will wonder how their fathers ever found time to have a sex life with their children around. They'll cherish the memories of their college days and be as inventive as their fathers at finding time to love their life partner.

 

Biff and Hank finally pulled Adrian to his feet and informed him it was time for a shower and sleep. As they walked away supporting their exhausted brother we four fathers smiled at how great a family we have and how much we loved every minute they spend with us.

 

A few hours later as we were calling our get-together quits, we four walked into the bedroom and kissed Joe goodnight and had to smile when we walked into Biff and Hanks bedroom to find an Adrian cuddle sandwich sleeping together. We kissed our three kids goodnight and proceeded to claim a few hours of sleep for ourselves.

 

Matt and I still had to make sure Dale and Shawn had settled in and as we look at the sleeping duo we knew what a wonderful family we had and cherished. They both knew we loved them equally and every man of Alpha Zulu would protect them with their lives.

 

As soon as Biff and Hank headed off to spend vacation time with POTUS I'm going to suggest to Bob and Danny we start the "gun drill" with our sons. In addition they need the experience of being a "practice dummy" for Max. After they have those two experienced mastered we then can offer them the opportunity to learn to shoot. Adrian is old enough. Dale and Shawn are mature enough and Joe we are just going to need to monitor and make certain he can handle the responsibility. All the imps know Abe saved our lives so they will realize the importance of taking the training seriously. After all, the life they save may be their own someday.

 

The tradition at Fort Connor was and is the squad with the lowest inspection score for the week provided the "practice dummy" for Max's workout. It really doesn't sound so bad until you have the experience of being "downed" by an 80 pound massive hunk of dog running at full speed. And, then after you are down you have a growling, snarling monster on top of you wanting to chew your balls off. (Terrifying isn't adequate to explain the trauma.)

 

Dale, Shawn and Joe were intimidated at the thought of being a practice dummy for Max. They wanted their "big bro" Adrian to go first. There is a thin line between being brave and being stupid and Adrian may have passed that line when he agreed to go first. Max attacked him with all of his strength, speed and power. It was like taking multiple 9mm bullets to a bulletproof vest. Only, Max didn't stop after your down, he continues with his attack until called off. And, if it wasn't good enough for his trainer to evaluate you get an immediate repeat performance. Adrian decided he needed a hot whirlpool and a rub down after being a practice dummy for Max for over 60 minutes.

 

Seeing that Adrian put his total self into the practice session I asked him to join me and as we walked toward the armory I asked if he would like to learn to shoot live ammo. "YES" was his answer. After I had the "master at arms" give us an unloaded Glock I informed Adrian he needed to learn to take apart and reassemble the Glock before he would be allowed to "live fire" it. And that means doing it blindfolded. Any one of the off duty men will be happy to teach you. Once you have it mastered blindfolded I'll authorize you to use "live ammo" and you best be shooting EXPERT!!! Or, explain to your fathers and big brother why you can't! Within a week Adrian had the Glock mastered and was shooting expert. It took him another ten days to master the Uzi. And, I made certain we were teaching the technique Ari uses: "Head shots". (I encouraged Hayao to adopt Ari's technique. Hayao agreed with all the body armor on the market the bad guys were better equipped than we good guys.)

 

Biff and Hank spent the final days of their spring break with POTUS and in the "goldfish bowl" of the White House. POTUS put in long days but he did his best to spend the evenings with his sons. Hank was loved not only by his fathers but also by his father-in-law. POTUS would make certain Hank had a prime teaching assignment close to wherever Worthington Industries had his partner working. It was never spoken but always considered that Biff would join the Worthington group upon graduation. Biff knew firsthand the good Worthington does for our soldiers and he wanted to be part of the team that gave the best protection to our men in uniform.

 

The White House Press was advised the two boys were off limits and not to be asked any questions. Anyone who violated the rule would have their White House access terminated. A quiet family dinner with POTUS was always appreciated as nearly every time they got together someone or something inevitably interrupted them and POTUS had to excuse himself. Hank knew the strain it was putting on Biff's relationship with his father. Hank played his "big card" and asked Matt and I to have a long talk with POTUS.

 

It was difficult to get POTUS to talk to us as a father rather than as our commanding officer. We suggest the next time the boys had a break from college POTUS ask them to Camp David for some quality family time and try to avoid politics for a long weekend. Or, we'd be more than happy to have you as a guest at Fort Connor. POTUS warned us too many trips to Fort Connor and he would be stealing away our Master Sergeant in the mess. Matt and I warned him he might face a mutiny trying to get him on Air Force One. Our Master Sergeant is up for retirement in 8 years and we really need to be proactive in finding a replacement for him. If and when he decides to retire I'll make sure he knows you are interested in having him as part of your personal staff. (And, frankly you couldn't find a better man.)

 

When Matt and I got back to Fort Connor one of the first things we did was ask the Master Sergeant to join us in our quarters. We had him take a comfortable seat and informed him we just wanted to chat with him. He was reaching his 30 year mark and we were interested in knowing his intentions. As much as he loved working in the Alpha Zulu program he wanted to settle down and have a family. Well, perhaps we can help make that possible for you. POTUS is interested in you as his personal chef. I'm certain even if he is retired he'll retain enough clout to help you with any adoption application you make. I'll regret the day you retire but I can't blame you for wanting a family. I love our two sons and cherish every minute we can be with them. You deserve as much. Just know, the offer is there if and when you are interested.

 

(Note to self: Get our HR dream team working on finding the second best mess chef in the Army. After all, we have the best chef in the Army working for us but he will be retiring. BE PROACTIVE or face the wrath of 200+ brothers-in-arms!)

 

Finally, a busy day is ending and Matt and I can call it a night after we tuck our sons into their bed and kiss them goodnight. Dale was sound asleep as we tucked him in and kissed him goodnight. As we proceeded to do the same with Shawn something was wrong. His bed was soaking wet and his body was hot to the touch. I hit the panic button on my wrist com and declared a medical emergency in my quarters. Security was first to assist us with Doc right at their heels. Shawn's body was so hot it was destroying itself and Doc couldn't find any explanation for it.

 

Every man off duty congregated around our quarters offering to assist us in any way. Doc couldn't find an explanation until he got Shawn to medical and cut off all of his clothes. The terrifying evidence was all so present as we looked at his naked body. Our son might not survive this ordeal. We needed to prepare Dale for another traumatic moment in his life.
