*=Gone but not forgotten

 

 

Captain Strong collapsed into a nearby chair in shock at what his ears had just heard. He held Dale, kissed him and told him what he asked was impossible. He was too large sexually, there would be too much pain, he might bleed, and went on and on with all the reasons it shouldn't happen.

 

Dale listened patiently and simply asked if any of what the Captain just told him would change if he waited another five or ten years to have sex. The Captain knew Dale was correct.

 

Dale hugged the man he loved, kissed him passionately, looked into his eyes and simply told him what the Chaplain had shared with him. "None of us know how long we have on this earth" and I know I want to make love to the beautiful man I have in my arms. The Captain admitting defeat, picked up Dale into his arms, held him tight kissing him passionately as he carried him off to the bedroom.

 

Dale was mature enough to have prepped his ass and knew his Uncle Luke would have the bedroom well stocked with lube. (The nightstand had enough lube for an orgy which made both of our lovers laugh.) Captain Strong looked at Dale and gave him one last chance to change his mind.

 

"Duke, if you don't want to have sex with me for whatever reason I'll accept your rejection even if it crushes my heart!" Taking the small hand and placing it between his legs Duke commented: "Does this feel like rejection?" The romantic music set the atmosphere as they slowly undressed each other. They had seen each others naked body many times before but this time it was so super erotic. Duke's cock was dripping like a leaky faucet and Dale knew Duke wanted to make love to him. Locking his lips around the head of Duke's cock Dale was immediately the recipient of a major blast of hot cum which left Duke a quivering mass of horny flesh.

 

Dale smiled at his lover and quietly told him: "That should take the edge off, now make love to me"! WITH PLEASURE!!! Dale quickly found out how many erogenous areas there were to the human body and he was crawling all over the bed clutching at the sheets as Duke continued to attack him with passion unknown in Dale's life. Dale lost count of how many dry orgasms he had but he wanted more and Duke wasn't about to deny him anything.

 

Stuffing Dale's ass full of lube with his fingers Duke's mouth licked, teased, sucked and tantalized every square inch of Dale's cock and balls. Dale had to hold a pillow over his face to keep from screaming so loud Security would be breaking down the door to their bedroom. Finally, kneeling between Dale's legs Duke looked into his eyes and asked if he was ready... Dale kissed him and told Duke he was ready for him six months ago.

 

Duke knew there would be pain and he wanted Dale to have as little as possible. He pushed a full tube of lube into Dale's ass and another half tube coated his large thick Cock. Putting Dale's ankles on his shoulders Duke leaned forward so he could kiss Dale and whispered to take his cock and put it at the entrance to his love tunnel.

 

Dale could barely get his small hand around this thick cock but he managed to get the head wedged in his tight opening. Duke leaned forward applying pressure and Dale started to feel the burning which would only increase as Duke increased the pressure.

 

Holding Dale tightly, kissing him passionately, Duke increased the pressure until the muscles of Dale's ass could only admit defeat and a thick cock head and a few inches of his cock shaft rested inside of Dale's body.

 

Duke could feel the scream in his mouth as Dale's body involuntarily fought the intrusion. Duke held him, caressed him, talked him down and told him how wonderful he felt... Slowly, ever so slowly, inch after thick inch invaded Dale's body and Dale was writhing in pain, passion, lust and love.

 

Finally, Duke could feel his balls on the cheeks of Dale's ass. He calmly told Dale he had taken all of him. "Relax my love and let me pleasure you beyond your wildest dreams"... the words sent Dale into a different plain of existence. Returning to reality Dale looked into Duke's eyes and simply begged: "Fuck me, fuck me till you can't get hard again... Love me like you have never loved another..." Dale wrapped his arms around Duke's neck and smothered him with kisses as Duke withdrew his cock till only the head remained in Dale's body and then started full length thrusts that progressed to the hardest fuck he had ever shared with another person.

 

Both Duke and Dale were shocked when suddenly Dale's cock erupted with the first wet orgasm of his life and he sprayed Duke with the liquid proof of his love. This caused Duke's cock to erupt and sear Dale's guts with his hot cum. Duke was rock hard and knew he would guarantee this would be a night Dale would remember forever.

 

Finally, three hours later our lovers collapsed in sexual exhaustion and total bliss. Holding each other tightly as they slumbered Dale knew he had made the right decision and he would never regret giving Duke this special gift he could only share with one person on this earth: HIS VIRGINITY!!!

 

As the sun of a new day started to shine through their bedroom window Duke still had his cock in Dale's ass and wasn't going to waste the opportunity to make love one more time to this wonderful boy. As Duke now smothered Dale with kisses he slowly worked his cock in and out of the tender love tunnel of the young man he loved. Duke wondered if he could still function as security for Dale considering the feelings he now had for him. Duke knew he'd need some counseling sessions with the Chaplain to make the correct decision. Right now, he only wanted to pleasure this young man who had given him so much pleasure.

 

Surprising both of them Dale's nuts blasted off another load of young cum and the aroma sent our two lovers into overdrive. Duke put Dale on his hands and knees and gave him a power fuck like as he would have shared with any adult lover.

 

Dale was happy that Duke was treating him as an equal but Dale also knew he was going to have one super sore ass when they decided to end the night and start a new day. Finally, Dale felt the most brutal thrusts possible in his ass which had him screaming more in pain than pleasure. Duke had lost control and his body had its priority of breeding the man whose ass was wrapped around his cock. Duke's balls blasted forth more times than he even thought possible.

 

Holding Dale tight and wiping away his tears Duke apologized for losing control. Dale stopped him and told him it was wonderful to be treated as an equal but please help me to the bathroom... my gut is about to burst and erupt from all the cum you have pumped into me.

 

Finally, they managed to make it to the shower and remove the evidence of their night of carnal bliss. Dale turned to Duke and calmly told him we now have to face Uncle Luke and John. As the look of terror appeared on Duke's face Dale assured him they both remember the young love they had when they were my age. This was my decision and if I'm old enough to have people wanting to kill me than I'm old enough to decide who I want to enjoy sexually and that is YOU!

 

Returning to the Penthouse Luke and John were enjoying a breakfast buffet and invited the two lovers to join them. Whispering to Dale he hoped the night was enjoyable. Dale smiled from ear to ear and simply said: WONDERFUL!

 

Arriving back at Fort Connor Dale's shopping was delivered to our quarters and we whisked the two off to medical for their return to base checkup. Doc took one look at the two and simply said: "You, Exam Room #1... Pointing at Dale, Exam Room #2!

 

Walking into Exam Room #2 Doc sharply commented: "Don't even start to tell me you didn't get fucked. I've seen this too many times around here. Strip and get your legs in the stirrups while I go check on your partner.

 

Entering Exam Room #1 Doc ordered: "I want you naked as the day you were born!" Looking at the raw dick between the Captain's legs Doc commented he knew Christmas shopping wasn't the only thing done on your "out of camp" excursion. Handing him a large container of steroid cream he commented to use it generously and it will help to control the pain.

 

Returning to Dale, he asked only one question: "This was consensual"? Dale nodded affirmatively. Doc applied some of his numbing lube to a speculum and told Dale he would feel pressure but little pain. Looking at the inflamed tissue he professionally asked: "How many times" to which Dale replied he had lost count but it was all night and it was wonderful!

 

Doc sprayed his guts which gave him immediately relief. Then as Dale got dressed Doc informed him of the results of his night of carnal bliss... NO SEX FOR 14 DAYS!!! You are restricted to using that talented mouth I heard so much about, that is if your partner can stand for anything to touch his cock for 7-10 days. If you have any pain or bleeding you are to see me immediately regardless of the time of day or night. UNDERSTOOD? YES, SIR!!!

 

As Captain Strong was exiting the exam room Matt and I had to smile at him and simply comment: "We see Christmas came early for you this year"! "Thank you for taking care of our son!"

 

Matt and I were elated when the Chaplain announced Dale had a 100% improvement and was on the road for a complete recovery of his mental health. Without breaking any confidence the Chaplain commented you should complement the person who is responsible for this breakthrough.

 

Later that day Matt and I had a private discussion with Captain Strong. "It is apparent you are now officially part of our family so welcome aboard. We fathers do warn you: "Break the heart of our son and you won't have to worry about a pissed off President. Alexander won't leave enough of you for POTUS to take his revenge on."

 

Clinically, you have worked a miracle with our son and both Doc and the Chaplain are impressed. As fathers we thank you and you have our total support. We trust the judgement of our son so whatever happened that was consensual was and is between the two of you.

 

Matt and I looked at each other and knew this was the first step in the life of our son growing into a man. We trusted Dale and we trusted Duke Strong to protect Dale. We had to remember the mental trauma Aiden had when Bob Manning was hit by a sniper round and his brains were splattered over Aiden's body. We need to prepare Dale for every possibility and I can see the need for a confidential discussion with the Chaplain. Dale needs to know the reality of being in love with the man who provides his security. I know Duke will sacrifice his life for Dale; the same as Hayao did and would for Noah. Hayao was much luckier than Bob Manning.

 

What really surprised Matt and Me was when family night arrived Shawn was holding Duke as tight as Dale was. Shawn leaned up and whispered in Duke's ear: "THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF MY BROTHER".

 

Matt and I didn't know how often Duke and Dale were enjoying sex but at least I didn't have to walk around our quarters with a can of air freshener in each hand. Shawn and Dale still made a cuddle sandwich out of Duke most nights and I had to smile when I kissed our sons good night knowing they couldn't be in safer arms.

 

T&T were constantly pumping Dale for information on his "night on the town" and Dale was a true gentleman who wouldn't "kiss and tell". Duke didn't interact much with the soldier and calmly explained himself when Matt and I asked why? We had soldiers previously corrupted to the "dark side" and attempt to kill a protected individual. If he had to kill someone to protect Dale or any imp he didn't want personal feelings about the individual to cloud his judgement or cause him to hesitate.

 

Matt and I were impressed with Duke's professionalism and were even more happy Dale was keeping him satisfied sexually. The two really cared for each other personally, professionally and sexually. I can see "married housing" in their future as Dale attends college.

 

Logan and Alex were requesting a video conference call with Matt and Me. They were exasperated! SD wouldn't mind his doctors and he was endangering his health. They had two options left... admit him to a secure hospital which would force him to follow doctors order or to have him recover at Fort Connor in the merciful hands of our resident medical dictator. Matt and I agreed the latter option seemed most appropriate. Have him fly in tomorrow and we'll put him up till he is totally healed, physically and mentally. And, I have a special weapon named Dale that will keep him in line.

 

I had Logan and Alex forward Doc the medical files on SD so Doc was well prepared when SD arrived the next day. I commented to Dale at lunch that SD was arriving tomorrow and would be staying with us while he rehabbed from his injuries and he definitely was in need of some tactile attention from Dale and Shawn. And, when you two need a break just send in the reserves... 1^st Sergeant Alexander is big enough to keep SD in line and give him plenty of cuddle therapy at the same time.

 

A resentful SD walked down the ramp into the waiting arms of Doc and a wheelchair. "Is this really necessary?" I leaned over and told him: "You will follow Doc's medical directives and he has 200 armed volunteers who will assure him of your compliance. Now, welcome to purgatory and be a good patient!"

 

SD spent a few days in Medical while Doc did a complete physical assessment. The Chaplain was a frequent visitor assessing SD's mental health and finally SD got paroled to our quarters. He would have daily assessments in medical by Doc and he would actively participate in daily counseling with the Chaplain. The best medicine was Dale.

 

Dale gently crawled up on the sofa besides SD and gently hugged and kissed him. They quietly had an adult conversation. "SD you were violated. A bullet entered your body and I better than most know how violated and hurt I was. Not the pain of the bullet but the pain of knowing someone wanted to hurt me. You have done so much for so many and I can never thank you enough for the family you gave me. You have so much more you can do and help people especially imps. Don't let one person deny the happiness you can give to so many people and so many deserving imps."

 

SD was in tears as he held Dale. "Would you ask the Chaplain if he has time to see me?" The Chaplain quickly replied: "I'll make time!" SD was on the road to recovery. He and Dale would travel the road together.

 

Looking at the crucifix on his nightstand Dale was starting to understand what the Pope meant when he told him God would give his the strength to meet the challenges of his life. Dale wasn't super religious but he thanked God for allowing him to help his good friend who gave him a family when he was all alone in this world.

 

After a few weeks Doc approved a light PE program to help SD rebuilt his muscles after his long period of inactivity. The Chaplain approved he could have 2 hours a day to handle light paperwork but nothing that would stress him. We had the paperwork forwarded in a secure pouch daily. SD was the happiest when he could place a deserving imp with a deserving family. The rest of the bureaucracy was just "necessary evil".

 

SD made a conference call to Luke, John and Logan. He wanted a quick modification to the Chapel renovation adding a side chapel dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of Soldiers. Whatever the modifications added to the construction SD would assume the cost out of his pocket. The Worthingtons were both shocked and elated at the change in SD's attitude and obtaining approval of the modification from both the Chaplain and the Generals. SD's request was quickly added to the approved construction details.

 

It was late summer before the Chapel renovations were completed and even with the renovation the Chaplain still frequently used the meditation garden for premarital counseling. What was necessary due to construction became most popular among the soldiers wanting to bond in matrimony.

 

The dedication ceremony became a major security concern when POTUS announced he would be attending accompanied by a visiting dignitary from the Vatican. Dale was elated when I announced to Matt another damn ceremony where we have to wear our gaudy dress uniforms.

 

Dale was shocked when the Vatican dignitary asked to meet with Dale and the Chaplain privately. He presented Dale with a gift from his Holiness the Pope to honor the men of Alpha Zulu. The Pope had blessed a gold Altar Cross which showed the IHS on one side and the "corpus" on the reverse side. Also, two gold altar candlesticks. The gift was from his holiness personally and in thanks for the sacrifice Dale made to honor the final request of his good friend. (The existing altar set was moved to the side chapel SD had added to the renovations.)

 

(The Chaplain quickly added the new items to the Altar and all the men were astonished at the additional beauty which had been given to honor the men of Alpha Zulu.) Dale made certain every man on base signed a letter of thanks for the gift we received. SD took his thanks in hugs and kisses from Dale. The perfect medicine to heal a troubled mind and soul.

 

POTUS had a private chat with the Chaplain before he boarded Air Force One and returned to Washington. Asking the Chaplain if he remembered the Executive Order that he had placed in the Chaplains personal file... The Chaplain did remember and thanked POTUS again stating it wasn't necessary. POTUS smiled and added that it now stated three stars of a Lieutenant General if you retire or leave Fort Connor. The Chaplain asked to be dismissed and headed into his new Chapel to pray. He felt so unworthy of any recognition, he was only fulfilling what God had asked of his life.

 

Our Alpha Zulu Chapel was the envy of military chaplains in every branch of the service and clergy of churches throughout the United States. Stars and Stripes did a major article on the Chapel and its dedicated Chaplain. The entire contingency of men at Fort Connor gave multiple positive comments on how the Chaplain had impacted their lives and their future. Yes, our Chaplain was our secret weapon and even from the grave Randy and Adam still impacted the lives of the soldiers at Fort Connor.

 

Shawn was as tactile a son as Dale and frequently spent a weekend night in bed cuddling with his fathers. We knew this allowed Dale and Duke the opportunity to be intimate and we could see the constant improvement in Dale's mental attitude toward life and his future. Dale cherished the small table cross he had been given and never once did I see any dirt or dust accumulate on it. Both Matt and I were in shock and had a major crisis when SD asked to have it appraised and insured when Dale headed off to college. When the appraisal came back at $250,000.00 USD I suggested Dale put it in the safe with Security rather than in his college dorm. Reluctantly he saw the wisdom in my strong recommendation. I always made certain to retrieve it and have it on his nightstand when he returned home from college.

 

Dale loved flying to the different countries and meeting the people and tolerating the bureaucrats. A Photo Op with Dale was more requested than one with Matt and Me. Yes, our son was stealing the stage from his six star fathers and POTUS was elated. The time Dale spent talking, playing video games, just getting to know the children of the politicians of these countries would benefit the United States greatly in the future. POTUS was making a long term investment in the security of the United States.

 

Our children weren't hindered by protocol dictated by our countries and could be themselves and develop bonds of friendship and trust. POTUS knew his faith in Dale had reached his goal when invitations arrived from both the Russian and Chinese governments for Dale to be the summer guest of their leader's son. In an acceptable compromise Dale offered to spend six weeks with each of their sons. (Of course Dale required Captain Strong accompanying him as his personal security.)

 

To say Matt and I were totally comfortable with Dales visit would be an out and out lie. We were so happy when Dale and Duke walked down the plane ramp and returned to Fort Connor. Dale had made connections that would benefit the United States the rest of his life. (Not to mention instant video conference contact with leaders in the two most powerful countries in the world.)

 

POTUS request Matt and me to address a meeting of military suppliers at a trade show in Chicago. Dale asked if he could tag along as he wanted to visit the grave of his parents. (Very difficult to refuse that request!) We settled into our suite at the Marriott and as Matt and I headed off for our professional responsibilities Captain Strong and Dale headed off to the Cemetery.

 

As Dale was quietly praying at the gravesite Captain Strong warned his security detail something was wrong. Without warning, they had a frontal attack from men with automatic weapons. The security team was overpowered and every man went down fighting. Captain Stone was the last to drop suffering multiple critical wounds. Dale was taken by hostiles.

 

Matt and I were rushed into a security lockdown. POTUS was in the White House situation room. Alpha Zulu and military assets were immediately granted exemption to Posse Comitatus. Alpha Zulu OPS determined Dales location from his implanted chip and a major special OPS force surrounded the location. With the power of training and stealth Dale was extracted and then and only then were the hostiles confronted. Special Forces men do no appreciate individuals that injure their fellow brothers in arms. Any armed hostile was met with lethal force. Every moment documented on body cam. Every kill was justified.

 

The security team that accompanied Dale was seriously injured but would make a full recovery. Captain Strong was in surgery fighting for his life. Dale immediately demanded to be taken to the hospital. When the head of the rescue team refused Dale demanded to be put in contact with the White House. He wanted POTUS and he wanted him NOW!

 

Dale made it clear to POTUS... have him taken to the hospital or never ask him for help again. POTUS ordered the Special Ops team to take Dale to the hospital and provide security until a full Alpha Zulu security team can be on site. Matt and I were released from our lock down and we didn't know Chicago had so many police cars as what was in our security motorcade to the hospital.

 

A very distraught Dale rushed into our arms in tears. Matt talked with the head of the hospital and the prognosis was dismal. Duke had suffered gunshot wounds to multiple major organs. Normally, this type of patient dies prior to arriving at the hospital. This patient is strong and is a fighter. The only reason he is currently alive. The hospital administrator was advised this is now a military operation and Captain Strong will have round the clock armed guards. Anyone who attempts to enter his room without hospital ID and a signed medical directive will be deem a hostile and dealt appropriately, with deadly force if necessary. Please make your staff aware of this immediately. Only the President of the United States can countermand my orders.

 

Dale thought back to the words the Pope had shared with him... God will give him the strength, Duke will survive we just need to have faith. When Duke came out of surgery and admitted to the ICU I couldn't believe how many tubes he had coming out of his body. We had a few stressful moments while Duke was in ICU when his heart stopped three times. Everyone was happy to move him to a private hospital room and ICU was returned to their dictatorial nurses. Duke's first words when he regained consciousness was: "Is Dale safe"? Yes, Dale is safe and wants to be with you. Right now he is in the chapel praying for you. He will be here shortly. "And the men"? Some serious injuries but they will all survive. Now just rest, you need your strength.

 

Doc was in continual contact with the hospital and Duke's physician. As soon as it was determined Duke was safe to travel he was transported back to Fort Connor and had 200 Brothers in Arms who would enforce the dictates of a power hungry doctor we all love. (A doctor you would want on your side if your life is on the line.)

 

Dale made sure Duke had plenty of visits and cheering up. Dale also understood the need for talking with the Chaplain and insisted that Duke also let the Chaplain help him. Dale was insistent when he asked this of Duke telling him: "If you refuse the next voice you hear on your com will be that of POTUS. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!

 

Finally Duke was able to return to our quarters and live. As Matt and I invited Shawn for a cuddle night we closed the door of our bedroom to allow our two family members the privacy they deserve. Duke was in tears when he confessed he thought he had lost Dale. Dale told Duke God gave him the strength and he knew we would be back together. Our two committed family members spent a night of intimacy, kissing and cuddling. Duke's injuries were still pretty tender and Dale was content simply being held in his arms and against his naked body.

 

Dale commented to Duke what his dads had told him when he was recovering from being shot. Just reach between your legs and if everything is intact the rest isn't important! Duke said: "Don't make me laugh, it still hurts to laugh"!

 

Both Worthington Intelligence and Army Intelligence couldn't determine who was behind Dale's kidnaping or their motivation. These were specially trained black OPS mercenaries (after my son). Security just got ramped up. Matt killed my requisition for an Abrams Tank to be added to Dale's security detail. POTUS chuckled when he heard about my requisition and chided an Apache Attack Helicopter would be a better choice.

 

Someone with immense power and money wanted to harm my son. I only have 200 men who will pledge their lives and sacred honor to protect every imp at Fort Connor my son included. I only hope POTUS recognizes the threat to Dale and acts appropriately. I so look forward to being a "Senior Citizen General" and spoiling as many grandkids as I can convince Dale and Shawn to adopt.

 

Now the roles were reversed and it was Duke having the night tremors and memories of being shot. Dale held him, talked with him, comforted him and showed him he was loved and wanted. I saw a young man barely into puberty acting with more maturity than some of the officers I served with in combat. I had faith that between Doc and our Chaplain, Duke would make a full recovery. Dale would demand it and Dale was still a force to be reckoned with.

 

Duke received a second Silver Star and Purple Heart. POTUS insisted he present it at the White House with the White House Press in attendance. Duke deserved the honor and POTUS was very proud of him. POTUS told Duke he could have any positing in the military he desired. Duke asked to be put back on the security detail for Dale. POTUS commented that is a decision only Dale can make, it was outside of his authority. Turning to Dale, Duke asked: "Will you take me back"? The answer was a resounding: "YES, YES, YES!!!"

 

POTUS was considerate and asked for only Matt and Me at the next Washington reception for Ambassadors and Foreign Dignitaries. As the evening progressed we were continually ask how Dale was coping with his abduction. "Please let the ambassador know when he is recovered." "The ambassador's son would like to invite Dale for dinner and get to know him." By the end of the evening Dale had invitations from over 50 foreign ambassadors and dignitaries for dinner with their sons. I was starting to see the long range plan POTUS had all along. (Just so he doesn't get our son killed in the process!)

 

Duke insisted that Dale study hard and that homework was done before anything recreational and that included their physical interactions. Duke loved our son and truly was committed to his future as much as he was the future of our country.

 

Dale pleaded with us his fathers to go back to Chicago so he could be with his parents. His last visit was interrupted and he never had the chance to talk with them. POTUS agreed with certain conditions and as aghast as Matt and I were we informed Dale of the conditions.

 

The Chicago Police locked down the Cemetery with a massive show of force. Both Police and Military snipers ringed the area. Alpha Zulu security was at full force and armed to the teeth. Only when the area was as secure as it would be for POTUS was Dale allowed to exit his armored vehicle.

 

Dale took Duke's hand and said the purpose of my last trip was to introduce you to my parents. I know they would be so proud of you. Duke was in tears as the two of them quietly stood at the graveside sharing their innermost thoughts and their commitment to one another.

 

The trip was brief and we immediately headed to the airport and back to Fort Connor. Dale thanked POTUS and he knew POTUS would collect for his assistance. POTUS had never asked anything unreasonable of Dale so he felt comfortable trusting the man.

 

An all too cheerful POTUS asked for a video conference and advised Matt and me to pack our bags. We would be taking a state visit to Israel. You two and Shawn will be staying as guests of Ari. Dale (and Captain Strong) will be staying as the guest of the Prime Minister and his son. If Dale is at all hesitant please ask him to call me. (Yup, POTUS was calling in one of his markers and Dale was finding out early in life political favors come at a price.) Your sons will have plenty of "air miles" to catch up on schoolwork and do their homework. Technology is wonderful but at times it can be a real pain in the ass and ruin being a kid. POTUS ended his conversation saying what a great job our family was doing for our country. He never doubted any of us even for a minute.

 

Our State Visit to Israel went without incident and even Dale's public "walk around" with the Prime Minister and his son went flawlessly. I was starting to relax as we boarded our behemoth and headed back to the United States. Our ever present squadron of Air Force, Navy and/or NATO armed jets accompanied us even in US airspace. Without warning our massive plane started making fast and defensive turns as we could hear machine gun fire hitting our plane. Captain Strong and our security team covered our sons the best they could as our military escorts went into attack mode and blew the attacking aircraft out of the sky. We made an emergency landing at Andrews and couldn't believe the amount of bullets that had hit our plane. The pilot commented we were lucky the designers "hardened" the critical systems. That is the only reason we stayed in the air.

 

POTUS now issued an Executive Order declaring a 20 mile exclusion zone around our aircraft when we were on board. Enter that exclusion zone and the plane would be eliminated with extreme prejudice without a warning shot being issued. POTUS was drawing a "line in the sand" and woe be it to anyone who crossed the line.

 

Unknown to us POTUS and his National Security Team had numerous discussions regarding the security of Matt, me and especially Dale. POTUS and the power brokers who supported him recognized Dale as a force to be reckoned with in the near political future. Other powerful men with unscrupulous motives saw Dale as a force they didn't want to face in Washington politics and viewed eliminated the problem rather than facing it in the future.

 

If I had known the future and how our Son would impact this country and its citizens Mat and I would have resigned our commission and become hermits living in a desolate area of New Zealand. I need to suggest to POTUS it is time for a return junket to the countries of the Asian Pacific region including Australia and especially New Zealand. I know their Prime Minister and his son will welcome Dale with open arms. (Yes, online video games make some very influential friends in today's society.)

 

Our Asian junket was high stress just due to the tensions in this region of the world. We were shocked when Chinese MIGS joined our military jet escorts in tight formation advising us they had been ordered by their government to protect us at all costs. We soon learned the commitment of the Chinese government to our safety as a Chinese MIG make a quick move putting himself between us and an air to air missile fired from outside of our 20 miles exclusion zone. The MIG was destroyed and the pilot killed.

 

Matt and I immediately contacted POTUS and asked for Beijing to be immediately added to our itinerary and we wanted to meet with the family of the pilot who made the ultimate sacrifice. Do whatever you have to do but I will present the family with a Purple Heart and a Silver Star. It is the least I can do for a man who gave his life to protect mine and my family.

 

The State Department can act quickly when adequately motivated by POTUS. We stopped in Beijing on our return flight back and I formally met with the parents and his children with the international press in full attendance. Privately, I thanked them for the sacrifice made by their son/father.

 

I cared less how much propaganda value the Chinese government got out of my actions... the pilot deserved recognition and as a "soldier to soldier" I had every intention of honoring the man and his sacrifice. Dale without intent stole the "show" when he took off his "Six Star Staff Badge" and gave it to the teenage son of the pilot, offered his hand in friendship and whispered in his ear he would always be his friend.

 

Dale was a born politician even if he wasn't yet old enough to shave. It was innate to him and his actions were always honest and without any expectation of quid-pro-quo. I just have to accept how special a son I have and that I am forced to share him with the world.

 

Arriving back at Andrews POTUS had a helicopter warmed up and waiting for us. He wanted us at Camp David NOW! Shocking to everyone were the people in attendance. Luke, John, Logan, Alex and Hayao from Worthington, the Joint Chiefs and head of Pentagon Security, the top administration of the Secret Service and the Executive Team of Homeland Security.

 

POTUS walked in and every stood at attention: "Gentlemen, before we conclude this meeting we will either have a functional plan for the security of our Generals and their family or I will dissolve the Alpha Zulu 69 program by Executive Order.
