Part 2: Mantle Of Aries
Chapter 21
The house was extremely quiet. Beth and Kelly were at work.
They had been accompanied by Ling and Bob to serve as
bodyguards. Tiger was at the hospital with them. John, Ed,
Shadow, and Rover were in the informal living room getting ready
for the days events. Marguerite was in the kitchen where she lived
for most of the day and Bill was in his office taking care of the
bills.
John fiddled with the remote control for the entertainment center
trying to get a cable news network. He pressed a button and the
stereo came on. He punched another button and a CD started
playing. He hit the off button several times. Everything went dead
and then turned on again. He punched the TV button and nothing
happened. He hit the power button and the TV came on, but there
was no sound. The stereo was still on. He was tempted to throw the
remote control across the room. He muttered, "Who picked out this
system anyway? What's wrong with old fashioned televisions that
you turn on and turn off?"
Ed stepped in front of him with his hand out to receive the remote
control. "Give it to me."
Ten key presses later, Ed had the television on, the sound coming
through the speakers, and the channel set to the news station. He
smiled as he stated, "Now that wasn't so bad."
John grumbled and went to the refrigerator. He poured two glasses
of iced tea and brought them back to the couch. He set them on
coasters on the coffee table in front of the sofa. "Have some tea."
Ed smiled, "We still have half an hour before anything starts."
John nodded absently. He finally answered, "I know. This is killing
me."
"Are you worried or excited?"
John paced a little around the room. He answered, "I'm worried
about whether it is going to go well. I'm excited about seeing the
plan go into action. I feel constrained by the fact that I'm here
rather than out there somewhere. I couldn't even stand the feeling
of clothes this morning."
Ed laughed. "I noticed that. You're still naked."
John looked at Ed with a large grin. "What about you?"
Ed's laughter carried through the room. "Same here. I got dressed
this morning and found myself pulling the clothes off before I hit
the door."
"I need to be doing something." John walked over to the intercom
and pressed a button. "Marguerite, could you fix a snack tray for
us? We're in the informal living room."
Her reply came back, "You already asked me five minutes ago."
"Sorry, I forgot."
Ed smiled at John's nervousness. He hadn't seen John this nervous
since Betsy had visited him after their breakup. "John, how about I
give you a blow job? Maybe that will help you relax."
"I'm too tense to get it up."
Ed laughed. "Same here. That's why I offered to give you one
rather than ask you for one."
John looked around the room. There were papers detailing the
schedule of events were piled up on the coffee table. The pile was
almost nine inches tall. The speakerphone was plugged in and he
had tested it by calling Beth at work. He walked around the room
again.
Shadow and Rover watched him pace. Tired of it all, both cats got
up and strolled out of the room. John watched them as they left the
room and entered the atrium. They vanished amongst the plants.
He always marveled at how quickly they could vanish so quickly.
Bill entered the room and stopped abruptly. His eyes locked on
John's cock, but his conscious mind didn't make the connection
that John was naked. He announced, "Uh, Ann Moore is here to
see you two."
John absently stated, "Bring her in."
He wondered if she was here to complete the argument that they
had on their last visit to the office. She had been upset and he
hadn't been all of that helpful. He walked over the refrigerator and
poured a glass of iced tea. While pouring the tea, he stated, "I
guess we probably owe her an apology."
"I'm sure we will pretty soon," answered Ed with a grin. He had
just realized that Ann was about to be brought into a room with
two naked men. He was about to suggest that they go get dressed
when Bill returned to the room.
"What's going..." Ann, not yet in the room, was complaining
already. She stopped the moment she saw the two men in the room
and their lack of attire. Her eyes never reached as high as their
faces.
John walked over to her and handed the glass to her. He was totally
oblivious to her discomfort. He stated, "Make yourself comfortable
on the sofa. You will want to examine the stack of papers on the
coffee table."
Ann stated, "Mike ordered me to come here."
Ed stated, "That makes sense to me. We should have invited you,
but we were so caught up in this that thought didn't even cross our
minds."
She had finally gotten over her embarrassment at the naked men in
front of her. Her anger at being left out of whatever was going on
returned ten-fold. She stomped her foot. "Invited me for what?"
John's voice was soothing as he said, "Ann, please read the papers
on the coffee table. They will explain everything."
Ann sat on the couch near Ed and picked up the first page. She
started reading the material on the page with a frown. It was a
timed agenda for a raid to take place on a restaurant in New York.
The individuals targeted in the raid were identified, as were the
agents. She picked up the next page and studied it. This was for
another raid that took place the same time in Washington D.C. She
looked up at the stack of papers on the coffee table. She looked at
her watch and realized the raids were to start in five minutes.
She stated, "How come I didn't hear of this before now?"
John bowed to Ed. Ed answered, "No one has heard of this before
now. The lead agents were woken this morning by a call from
Mike Holden and directed to pick up a box of instructions. Inside
the box were specific instructions for each agent. The instructions
for the lead agent were to notify all participants to meet at specific
locations at a specific time. Once there, individual agents were
given their instructions according to a timetable."
"How many raids are there?"
John smiled, "Almost eight hundred spread across twenty cities."
"This is huge! You've got local police, state police, ATF, Federal
Marshals, and the IRS involved as well."
"Darn right." Ed sounded as proud as he felt. "The security on it
has been very tight. As of the last time that I was in your office,
only three people knew what was being developed. John and I
were two of them."
"You've been busy!"
John smiled as he thought about the past ten days. They hadn't
been busy working at all. They had spent most of the time playing.
John had even gone hiking for three days. John answered, "Well,
we did put a couple of months on it."
Ed had been hard pressed to help John with this effort and finish
his degree. He complained, "It was closer to a year."
Marguerite entered the room pushing a cart loaded with all kinds
of snacks. They ranged from the healthy vegetables to the
unhealthy potato chips. Ed frowned when he realized that she was
still wearing the body jewelry and waist chain. At least she had
added a chain mail bikini bottom to it. She stated that she was
going to wear that outfit at work until someone broke down and
did something about it.
She took a very long time to position the cart. Her eyes flicked
between John and Ed constantly. Ann looked up at Marguerite
with raised eyebrows. She knew John was involved in a weird
lifestyle, but she hadn't realized it was this strange.
Ed decided the whole situation was becoming surreal. "John, do
you realize that we have a guest and we are both naked? Did you
notice that Marguerite is still protesting her work conditions by
wearing her little outfit?"
John looked around noticing the situation for the first time. He
apologized, "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Ed watched Marguerite leave the room. She was smiling at John's
discomfort. Ed turned to Ann, "I must apologize. You caught us on
a bad day. We don't normally walk around the house like this when
guests are here. Marguerite has been protesting her work
conditions and has taken to dressing like that to make a point. Our
lawyer is negotiating a new contract with her even now."
Ann laughed, "I've had problem employees before, but none of
them chose that way to express their unhappiness."
"Well, I apologize for all this." John repeated. Ann glanced down
at his crotch and licked her lips. She wondered how it was that
both men were extremely well endowed. She was lost in her
thoughts when Ed jumped up suddenly and shouted, "Oh yeah!"
She glanced at the television. The news anchor was acting very
flustered. She listened as it was announced, "We are getting reports
that a large number of raids have just been launched here in New
York. Oh, wait a minute, we seem to be getting similar reports
from Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, and..."
The telephone rang and Ed answered it in speakerphone mode,
"Control Central. Report!"
"This is city 4, group 2, raid 1, we have captured 9 and confiscated
$200,000 in cash. Drugs and paraphernalia were present. They are
nailed."
Ed smiled, "Thanks. I'll hear from you after raid 2."
John went to the fax machine and pulled out the paper that listed
the names of the people arrested. He went over to another sheet
containing the names of the important people they had wanted to
catch and started marking off the names the list.
Ed scrambled through the stack of papers and pulled out the one he
was looking for. He wrote the basic report on it and put it in a
separate stack. He smiled at Ann in elation.
The telephone rang again. The report this time was from city 9,
group 6, and raid 1. They had captured 4 and confiscated 500,000
in cash. Ann searched through the pile and pulled out the paper
with the title that had been given. She handed it to Ed, who marked
the results on it.
The telephone was ringing constantly. They went through close to
one hundred calls. It took less than twenty minutes as each call was
kept short. Ann took off her jacket and started to roll up her
sleeves. She was sweating from the tension. She looked around and
then took her shirt off. Neither man noticed.
When the calls stopped, they turned their attention to the news.
The news anchor was stating, "We don't have all of the details yet,
but it appears that massive raids on organized crime have been
launched all around the country. We are trying to locate someone
who knows what is going on."
John came and sat down on the couch. He smiled, "We can relax.
We have ten minutes before the next round of raids start."
Ann asked, "Can I use your pool for a minute? I need to relax and I
find a pool very relaxing."
John smiled, "Sure, it's right through that door there. Towels are
kept in the cabinet in the corner."
Ed looked at John and remarked, "Now I'm excited enough that I
could use that blow job we were talking about earlier!"
John laughed and joked back, "I know what you mean, but this is
not the time for it."
The men went over to the snacks and started munching. They knew
they would only have about ten minutes before the calls started.
Between handfuls of food, they congratulated each other on the
success of the first raids. The news station was going crazy. Live
shots from all over the country were being put up on the screen as
the press chased cop cars to find out what was happening.
Ann came back into the room. She was topless with a large towel
around her waist. Her hair was still wet. She grabbed a couple of
pieces of fruit, "I can't believe how extensive this operation is. You
guys are working miracles. I looked at the expectations for each
raid as I found them. You're hurting them big time. It'll take them
years to recover."
John smiled, "You haven't even seen the big stuff yet."
"We better get back to our positions. Calls should start coming in
any minute now."
Even as Ed and Ann sat on the couch, the telephone rang. Ed
answered, "Control Central. Report!"
"This is city 3, group 5, raid 2, we have captured 3 and confiscated
their computers. We found records for money laundering on the
computers. They are nailed."
Ed thanked them and hung up. He gave a shout, "We took down a
money laundering operation!"
The telephone continued to ring. Short conversations were
followed with marking sheets with the reported results. John
continued to scratch off names on the master list as additional
faxes arrived. The activities now were a little more involved than
before. The raids took longer, but the confiscated materials were
much greater. They were taking out drug manufacturing sites,
warehouses, and fencing operations.
Finally, it was quiet and all three sat back on the couch. John
stated, "It's going to take them an hour to get all of the evidence
removed. We've got a little time to kill."
Ed suggested, "How about a swim and the hot tub?"
John asked, "Should I call Bill in to butle?"
Ann stated, "There's no such word as butle."
Ed laughed. "Go ahead. My iced tea glass was empty and I couldn't
get away to fill it."
John corrected Ann, "There's no word describing what a butler
does. Therefore, we invented butle to describe his activities. A
butler butles."
"Oh, I see."
John actually looked at Ann for a moment and realized that she
was just as naked as Ed and him. He had meant to get dressed
earlier, but the excitement had distracted him. Now he guessed that
it didn't matter. He debated between calling down Marguerite or
Bill. He knew that Marguerite would be busy getting ready for
tonight's dinner. He went to the intercom and pressed the talk
switch. "Bill, we need someone to butle."
Bill attempted a bad imitation of Igor. "Yeth, Mather."
John laughed as he retorted, "You'd better be a hunchback when
you get down here."
"Yeth, Mather."
John turned to head towards the pool. Ann looked at him, "You
have strange relations with your staff."
"Thank you. It almost makes having me work for you seem
normal."
Ann laughed at that. Nothing could make having John work for
her seem normal. She voiced her conviction, "There's nothing that
could make it seem normal."
They went into the room with the swimming pool. Ed was floating
on his back slowly moving across the pool. John entered the pool
and took up a similar position. Ann went into the pool at one end.
She pushed off and started swimming the length of the pool using a
breaststroke. They swam that way for half an hour, then John and
Ed went into the hot tub. Ed turned to John and commented in a
low voice, "She's never going to be able to look at us the same way
again."
"You think so?"
Ed stated, "Her eyes hardly ever leave our crotches."
John laughed as he replied, "Well, we are rather large."
"She's pretty."
"Yes. Funny that I never noticed that in the office."
Ann stepped out of the pool and walked over to the hot tub. She
slowly got into it. Once settled, she stated, "Well, this is strange."
"What?"
"Sharing a hot tub with two coworkers with none of us wearing
clothes."
"Not odd at all. Most cultures are rather more relaxed about nudity
than our culture. Most Druids could care less about clothes. The
morning after our wedding, I was talking to a bunch of the Druids.
Half of them were naked. Of course, that chased away several of
the caterers that were packing up."
Ann laughed. She was amazed at how easy it was to relax with
them outside of a work environment. When they worked, their
concentration of what they were doing was total. Anyone or
anything that got in the way, had better watch out. Those two
would run right over the impediment without even noticing it was
there. Yet, when they relaxed, their attention for those around them
was almost just as intense. When they talked to you, they listened
to every word. She asked, "What about sex?"
Ed laughed, "We are even more relaxed about that. There is
nothing better that you can do than to please a person and bring
them pleasure."
John stated, "The exception is when the other one wants nothing to
do with it. Then it becomes rape and that is the worst thing we can
do."
Ed added, "True. There's nothing casual about sex though. We just
prefer to view that making love is a gift that people can give each
other. It is a gift you can give as many times as you desire."
Ann sighed. She leaned back and enjoyed the feeling of the water
wash over her. She stated, "It sounds so easy the way you say it.
Too bad life isn't more like that."
John asked, "Why isn't life like that for you?"
The question startled her. She hadn't ever thought of living any
differently than she did. Did her job make her feel like her options
were limited? She pondered the question. Ed interrupted her
thoughts with the announcement, "Time for us to get back to
work."
They returned to their original working positions. The news anchor
had just gone to a live broadcast in front of the FBI headquarters.
The reporter was stating, "I am standing in front of FBI
headquarters here in Washington D.C. I just talked to the public
affairs officer and was told that they would not be able to release
any information until they knew what was going on. More than one
individual here has expressed surprise at learning about the raids
across the country."
The telephone started ringing again. The three of them returned to
work. There were just as many calls as before. The raids were
capturing more people and goods than they had predicted.
Everything was going according to their plan. In this round of
raids, the groups were usually caught packing up to leave. This led
to the confiscation of more drugs, stolen goods, and money than
the previous raids. Ed was smiling broadly as he listened to the
reports coming in. Bill refilled their glasses and brought snacks to
them as they worked.
Sitting back after this round of raids, Ann shook her head in
amazement. She asked, "How did you plan all this?"
John smiled and then explained, "We took police reports and FBI
reports. Looked at the times and places where things had gone on
in the past. We used that to predict where people would be and
when they would be there. So far, we're batting a nearly perfect
score."
Ed nodded his agreement. "Only four raids have netted nothing."
John smiled, "If we get fifty percent on the next set of raids, I'll be
amazed."
Ann asked, "Why?"
Ed answered, "We tried to predict where they would be going after
the first sets of raids. We figure this one will net the big guys with
lots of money in their possession."
John stated, "We want to get them for tax evasion."
She looked at the paper on top of the small stack that was left. The
raids started in two hours. She looked up, "Why did you stagger
them like that?"
"We wanted to give them time to get to their hideouts."
"How will you know where they will go?"
Ed smiled, "We don't know yet. We are tracking their cell phones."
John asked, "What do we want to do for the next two hours?"
Ed shook his head, "I don't know. I can't believe how tiring this is."
John nodded, "yeah. Let's just sit back and take it easy for a while."
Ann looked at the two men. She inquired, "I know almost nothing
about you two. How often do you guys just relax?"
Ed answered, "Well, I'm getting ready to work on my doctorate. I
consult here and there concerning minerals. I guess I'm one of the
leading experts in determining what mine a particular stone was
mined. However, it doesn't leave me much time to relax."
John stated, "I'm obliged to continue my researches. Right now,
I'm working on a new project. We've also got the charities that we
run. I still get called away at times to save someone. I really don't
have much spare time, either."
"Wow. Maybe I've been too hard on you two. I guess I keep
thinking of you as FBI agents with a normal home life."
Bill came over and refilled their glasses. John looked up at Bill and
asked, "Bill, what do you think of the activities in this house?"
Bill shook his head, "You guys work harder than we do. I bet you
put in eighteen-hour days, seven days a week. Those two wives of
yours, they work just as hard. They work all kinds of shifts at the
hospital. Then they work on the charity."
Ann asked, "What charity?"
Ed stated, "The Fusion Foundation."
"You guys actually run the Fusion Foundation." Ann looked
shocked. The Fusion Foundation had become the largest charity
organization in the world. It had provided lifetime funding for
various chairs at Universities all across the country. A catastrophe
response organization had been created. It had helped put out
several forest fires, restored areas after floods, and cleaned up after
tornadoes. The group showed up with food, water, blankets,
clothes, temporary shelters, heavy moving equipment, and medical
supplies. Another organization established by them provided
medical care. Both organizations would hire just about anyone that
showed up and was willing to live in the provided housing.
John stated, "We had better run it. I set it up."
Ann sighed as she stated, "You know, I keep forgetting you're that
John Carter."
John laughed and agreed with her. "Don't worry. I keep forgetting
that too."
"So how do you function?"
John shrugged, "When you work on something, you put all of your
concentration on it. When you play, you extract every ounce of
pleasure."
Ann asked, "You play?"
Ed told her about the medieval evening that they had. He told
about the water pistol fights they sometimes had in the atrium.
John told about the time that they had a paper airplane contest
where they tried to see whose plane flew the longest distance. She
listened in envy at the kinds of things they did. She understood that
they were rich, but what they had done didn't require one to be
rich. There were cheap ways to go about the same thing. It only
required keeping a sense of play. She realized that sometime or
another, she had lost that sense of play. She wanted to be alone.
She asked, "Is there a rest room I could use?"
John and Ed looked at each other and realized there wasn't a rest
room just for guest use in the informal part of the house. Bill came
to the rescue. "If you would follow me, I'll take you to one."
Outside the room, she leaned over to Bill and asked for a place
where she could be alone for a few minutes. Bill pointed to the
atrium and told her about the bench in the center. She wandered
into the atrium taking her time. When she reached the center, she
looked around for a second. Seeing no one around, she sat down
finally allowing herself to cry.
John and Ed were looking for her all over. When Kelly came home
from work, they told her that Ann had gone missing. Kelly was the
one that found her in the atrium an hour later. Shadow and Rover
were sitting among the plants watching her. Ann was still crying.
Kelly asked, "What's the matter, honey?"
Ann sniffed, "You wouldn't understand."
Kelly asked, "Did John or Ed hurt you?"
"No, they didn't!"
Kelly hugged her tightly and just held on to her. Ann started crying
even harder. After she calmed down, Kelly asked again, "What's
the matter?"
Ann cried, "I've forgotten how to live."
Kelly cooed, "That's a rough one, but it's not terminal."
"Not terminal?"
Kelly stated, "You just need to learn how to play again. It's not that
tough."
Ann turned to her, "Can you teach me?"
Kelly thought about it for a minute. A smile came to her as she had
an idea. She stated, "Come with me."
Kelly led Ann to Marguerite. In the kitchen, Kelly simply stated,
"Marguerite, I need you to do me a favor."
"What do you need?"
"I need you to teach her to play." Kelly winked at Marguerite when
Ann wasn't looking. She smiled, "I want you to have lots of fun."
Marguerite smiled, "Yes, I have a very good idea what to do!"
When Kelly went to tell John and Ed what happened, she found
them jumping up and down in joy. John turned to Kelly, "We did
it! We did it!"
"What did you do?"
"We wiped them out!"
In this kitchen, Ann helped Marguerite cook while they chatted
about playing. By the time dinner was ready, Ann was dancing
along with Marguerite as she helped put the finishing touches on
the meal. She could not believe how much fun Marguerite had
while cooking. Marguerite talked to the food as she cooked. She
made jokes and talked in funny accents to the food. She had
laughed so hard that her sides ached when Marguerite had stuffed
her fist inside a chicken and made it dance on the counter.
