Chapter 22.3

Suddenly there was a chorus of voices all agreeing to go out to dinner. I asked, "Does anyone know a place where we can get a good meal?"

Ted spoke up saying, "I know a place called Captain Toss. They have a very large tank which they keep full of lobsters, in all sizes. Their surf and turf comes in generous portions and very delicious. Marion and I have been there a few times but only on special occasions."

"Well, this certainly classifies as a special occasion. Do you know the number Ted?" I asked.

Terri said, "I'm on it dad. I'll have the number in a minute. How many seats do we need?"

"Make reservations for seventeen and tell them we'd like the tables moved together so we can sit as a group. How long will it take for us to get there Ted?"

"I think it should take us about thirty minutes to get there Dan." Ted replied.

"Terri, when you get them on the phone, ask them for reservation in an hour." I said.

Terri came out of the house with the phone to her ear and said, "That's right, seventeen people and we'd like the tables pushed together so we can sit as a group. Is it possible to have a reservation for an hour from now? Ok, thank you very much, and the reservation will be for the Morrisons. Yes, ok, we'll see you in an hour."

Terri turned off the phone and said, "Ok we have reservations in an hour so we need to get dressed."

Tony suddenly said, "Ummm ... Dan, the four of us only have one pair of shorts each and a tank top. I'm not sure they'll let us in an upscale place dressed like that."

Ted said, "Give me a piece of paper and I'll give you directions from here to Captain Toss. You can take the directions, run home and change, then meet us there."

Ted quickly wrote the directions and handed the paper to Tony and asked him if he was familiar with that area. Tony said, "I have the directions and I have my cell phone. Write your number down here in case I have to call you."

Tony looked at me, "We'll see you at Captain Toss."

Four bare asses took off running across the deck, down the steps and around the house. The rest of us stood up and walked inside. As I was walking inside I said, "I want to take a very quick shower before I get dressed."

"I don't know about the rest of you girls, but it's so hot I'm only going to wear a sundress without panties or bra under it, in case anyone wants to join me." Jenna said.

Mary piped up and said, "I'm with Jenna."

Joanna asked, "May I go naked, it's too hot to get dressed?"

Jenna said, "I'm with Joanna. Hey dad, can I go naked?"

"I'll see if I have enough bail money and let you know. Until then, you better wear that sundress."

Kim, Beth and I showered quickly. When we went into the bedroom Kim walked into my closet and pulled out a pair of dress slacks and a polo shirt and said, "You can choose your socks and that's all."

I walked over to her closet and chose two button up the front sundresses and brought them out and laid them on the bed. "You and Beth can choose which sandals you want to wear."

We walked down the hall and out of my peripheral vision I watched two pair of "C" cup boobies swing and or bounce with each step. I smiled saying, "That's right ladies, shake those titties and let everyone know you aren't wearing a bra. I love it."

We stopped outside Jenna's room and saw Jenna, Hanna and Terri gathered in a small circle doing some last minute make up. When Jenna saw her mother and Beth she whistled before she said, "Damn dad, who are those two hot women with you?"

I inquired, "Don't recognize them? I can tell you, both of them are hot vixens."

Everyone came out of their rooms and filled the hall. I looked at Ted, Mary, Shelly and Joanna and asked, "I hope at least one of you are ..."

Ted cut me off saying, "I felt naked when I was traveling without this. I'm home now so it's like my American Express card, never leave home without it."

Mary slapped Ted playfully on his back, "You were naked most of the time smart ass."

Everyone began laughing and Jenna finally finished with both Hanna and Terri so they joined us in the hall. I looked around and saw every one of the women in our group was wearing a sun dress and was at least braless. I said, "Jenna you're a bad influence on these fine upstanding ladies."

Jenna turned around and said, "No daddy, if I was being a bad influence on all these ladies, I'd be saying, unbutton the top three buttons ladies and let the chips fall where they may."

I watched Jenna reached up and unbuttoned three buttons. When she was done I could look in her dress and see one of her lovely breasts. I said, "Jenna you can't go out like that, you'll get us in trouble."

With a huge grin on her face she said, "Daddy, there's safety in numbers and besides look around you, I'm not the only one showing something!"

I slapped my forehead as I saw all the women, including the three female cops, had unbuttoned three buttons. I knew when I was beat so I said, "Ok, you win, let them boobies out for some fresh air."

Ted, Mary and Joanna walked through the house and made sure everything was locked before we went out into the garage. Terri said, "I would like to drive my car and I'll take someone with me."

Hanna and Jenna immediately said, "We'll ride with Terri."

Mary looked at Shelly and asked, "Do you want to ride with them or what?"

Shelly said to Mary, "I'll ride with them on the way there and you can ride on the way home."

I asked, "Jake would you drive my Escalade and take your wife, Kim, Beth and Marion with you?" I Looked at Jake and nodded my head slightly and raised my eye brow at him the same time as I handed him the keys.

At the same time I said, "I'll ride with Ted, Joanna and Mary. Ted would you mind driving my Navigator?"

Everyone got in the cars and we started down the driveway with Ted leading the way. Once we were on the road I looked in the back seat at Joanna and said, "I'd like you to tell me the full version of what happened the morning of the break-in."

I listened intently as Joanna recalled everything that happened starting with the previous night, including the wonderful sex she had in our huge bed. She went into a lot of detail once the alarm went off and gave us a blow by blow report of what transpired.

Towards the end of our trip she was interrupted by Ted's cell phone so she stopped talking while Ted talked to Tony and clarified a few directions for him. When Ted turned off his cell he said, "Tony is almost at Capt. Toss and a little past that third light down there, we'll be there."

I told Joanna I'd like for her to tell me more on the way home and she readily agreed. I also told her if she felt she needed a lawyer to represent her at any time, I would hook her up with my lawyer and I'd pay for the cost. Joanna said, "Thank you Dan, I've only heard a little from Father O'Malley so I don't have any idea what the Police Department is doing."

"When I go to work tomorrow, I'll find out what's going on. I don't anticipate you will have any problems since the men broke into Dan's house and you were in self-defense mode and you were also protecting the Morrison's house." Ted replied.

"Ok, we're here, this is Captain Toss." Ted added.

Ted parked the car and when we got out I looked at the building, it had a very large mural of a ship on the side of the building with several large fish near the ship. Old nets and buoys hung on the side of the building and a very heavy duty rope ran across the tops of posts as a separator for the sidewalk and the parking lot.

Kim and Beth came over and took my hands and the three of us joined the others and walked towards the entrance. Inside the restaurant was interesting with all kinds of items from the fishing industry decorating the walls and hanging from the ceiling. Terri stepped forward and talked to the hostess. After a few seconds, Terri turned and asked everyone, "Would any of you mind if we were seated in the conference section over there behind that glass so they can keep the tables open out here?"

"I think we would prefer to be in that section so we can talk and not disturb anyone else." I said.

Everyone agreed with me so the hostess picked up a stack of menus saying, "Please follow me."

When we were seated two waitresses came in and took our drink order. Immediately after they left to go get our drinks I stood up and asked, "May I have your attention for a few moments?"

After everyone quieted down I said, "Order whatever you want and as much as it takes to fill you up. I don't want any of you being polite tonight. Tonight you are helping me celebrate. The best part is, you won't know what I'm celebrating until it's time for dessert."

Jake spoke up and said, "I'll bet you're celebrating the successful business deal with the German company."

I smiled at Jake and said, "Nice try Jake, but no, that's not it. Actually, it's much bigger than that. But, as I said, eat up and enjoy. I'll tell you when we have dessert."

I sat down and Beth and Kim looked at me with huge smiles on their faces. Almost everyone was staring at me but I wasn't giving any more hints. The conversation died down while everyone enjoyed their meal but that didn't stop intermittent suggestions being thrown out for consideration.

I looked at Ted and agreed with him the food was prepared perfectly and very delicious. Ted cracked open a lobster claw and dipped it in butter saying, "I love coming here."

After dinner we sat back and relaxed. I asked the waitress if they had champagne since I didn't see it on the drink list. She said, "Yes sir, we keep some on hand for people who ask for it."

I looked around and said, "I think we need at least a couple of bottles."

The champagne was poured and everyone looked towards me. I stood up and then offered Beth my hand and had her stand up beside me. Then I extended my hand to Kim and she stood up on my other side. I raised my champagne glass and everyone followed my actions and I said, "To long and true friendships!"

"Here, here" everyone said.

We took a sip of our champagne. The three of us remained standing, I said, "I'm not going to give you a long speech but I want to tell you, in a special way, each of you have made a contribution which strengthened our family and I want to thank you. However that's only part of the reason for this celebration I wanted to share with all of you."

Jenna said, "Oh, Oh, Beth's pregnant!"

Beth blushed a deep red and quickly said, "No, but we're working on that."

I cleared my throat and said, "This afternoon, when we returned from Germany, I had to meet with Tom Banks the former Chairman of the Board of Directors."

I paused and looked around and discovered only one person caught what I said. Suddenly she gasped and questioned, "Do you mean you're the new Chairman?"

Everyone gasped and I looked straight at Terri and said, "No dear I'm the new Chairman of the Board and CEO all rolled into one, effective immediately."

The joyful sound of loud cheers and clapping hands filled the room. After a few moments I held up my hands so everyone would quiet down. When they did, I said, "Along with my promotion, my executive secretary moves up as well. So ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the number one secretary." A new round of cheering and clapping erupted from our family and friends.

"In addition to that good news, we stopped by my lawyer's office on the way home and did some legal work. After that was completed my lawyer told me the sale of the three hundred and ninety acres next to us is going to be closing on Tuesday. He also told me the landowner on the other side of the new property was too late with his purchase inquiry so now he wants to sell his five hundred acres and move someplace else. I told my lawyer to look into buying that as well."

Beth spoke up saying, "In addition to our contract, my lawyer helped me fill out the paperwork to legally change my last name to Morrison." Everyone cheered while the three of us sat down. The conversation between everyone was much more enthusiastic, while we enjoyed our dessert.

Kathy and Jake rushed over to Beth and both of them hugged, kissed and congratulated her for her promotion. Kathy looked at me saying, "I know you'll take good care of my little girl Dan. It's great to see her so happy. When is the ceremony?"

Beth replied, "We haven't planned anything yet but when we do, you'll be the first to know, after us of course."

Jake walked over and hugged and kissed Kim. He looked at her saying, "You have such a wonderful family. I'm going to love being an in-law."

We sat down and enjoyed more great conversation and our dessert. The women in the group talked excitedly about what Beth, Kim and I should have for a ceremony. I think by the time we were ready to go, all of the women decided to take part in planning the ceremony.

When we walked out of Captain Toss the hot humid night air smacked us right in the face. As we walked towards the car Jenna unbuttoned her dress all the way and said, "Awww, this is better."

The girls laughed and Kim said, "Only you would think to walk out in public that way."

Jenna turned to her mother when we were almost to the cars and said, "What do you mean momma? It's not my fault if my dress slides off my shoulders, like this."

"Jenna! Pick that dress up; it's going to get dirty lying on the ground." Kim admonished

"Ok, mom, but it's too hot tonight to wear anything." Jenna whined

"You could have waited until you were in the car before you took your dress off." Kim replied.

The cars doors were unlocked and I said, "I want to ride back with Ted, Mary and Joanna so we can finish talking. Shelly I hope you don't mind."

"Absolutely not Dan, I'll ride with the girls. Besides, I think this trip will interesting." Shelly said.

Terri quickly added, "Jenna, you'll have to sit on your dress, we don't have any towels with us, and I don't want you leaking on my brand new seats."

"No problem sis, I'll sit on my dress. I wouldn't want to stain the seats of this beautiful car." Jenna replied.

Tony and his family walked over to me. Patty, Beth and Barbie each gave me a long hug and a kiss and thanked me for taking them to dinner. Tony shook my hand and said, "You're the best guy we've ever worked for. Thank you for everything you do for us."

I looked at Tony and said, "I haven't done anything yet. I cherish your friendship but most of all I appreciate what you and your family did while I was away and I won't forget. You and I are going to have a very long friendship. I won't see you until tomorrow afternoon so have a great night."

We got into our cars and Ted let Jake lead the way out of the parking lot and he pulled in behind Terri's car. He looked at me saying, "It's after dark and I want to be behind the girls."

I smiled and said, "No problem, I understand."

"Joanna, you mentioned to Ted that you've met the woman who was downstairs the morning of the break-in and helped take out the bad guys. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what she told you?" I asked.

"Dan, I've had a couple of long conversations with her. One was out by the pond in the back and the other was when she took the detail to follow me to the park the other day."

"Before I tell you about her and what she's told me, I want to confess something. I hope you don't mind but I invited her to dinner the other night because she has a delicious body and I wanted to get her alone. I wanted to personally thank her for helping us that morning. The others met her however they don't know who she really is because I introduced her as my friend Judy."

"She comes across as a wonderful lady; however what I saw that morning when I went downstairs, someone stomped those guys and stomped them badly. Every one of them needed medical treatment. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she is also highly trained and possibly a very dangerous lady, when she needs to be."

"The first time I met her, it was a spur of the moment thing. She only had time to put on a wig and wear some colored contacts, for a disguise. As I said, we met at the pond. We agreed not to wear any clothes because it would look suspicious me leaving the house with something on, when I'd left before and not worn anything. After we met, we sat in the water while we talked. She knew I was feeling really down over killing someone. She understood I had never killed anyone before and she wanted to console me. After I expressed myself, she told me the guy I killed was a very bad guy."

"Dan, she wanted me to really understand, not just hear, the guy I killed was a super bad guy. She gave me some examples of how repulsively he tortured men, women, and children to accomplish his missions and I was totally horrified. When I thought I'd heard enough to make me sick she told me the examples she gave me were only the mild ones. She said he did much worse to most of his victims. She wanted to impress upon me I'd done the world a huge favor by taking him out."

"She told me since the break-in they had doubled the surveillance on your house and the Simpson's house. That's when I found out her people were and have been watching your house and everything we did, including having sex on your lawn or on the deck. She made sure to tell me not to change my routine so the others wouldn't suspect anything."

"So the next time I stepped out on the deck naked, made me an exhibitionist because I knew someone was watching. When I thought about it some, my embarrassment vanished and was replaced with sexual excitement. Especially since, I've had sex in full view of those watching your house. I haven't told the others about any of this and I hope all of you will keep this information private as well."

"Before I took Tina and the kids to the park the other day, I was able to get a message to Judy and she called me at the house. I told her what I was going to do and she told me she would take the detail and provide additional security for us. We had a secret phrase as a code, so I'd know it was her because she said she was going to be in a different disguise. I felt like I was performing in a spy movie, talking to myself in the woods, arranging for security, meeting people in disguise and coming up with a code phrase so we'll know each other."

Everyone got a chuckle out of the way Joanna said that last sentence. Joanna raised her voice and said, "I'm serious! It was fucking cloak and dagger shit. All that shit was going on and I couldn't tell anyone."

"Anyway, I took Tina and the kids to the park and it wasn't until we got to the pool, she revealed who she was by saying the agreed upon phrase. We talked while Tina and the kids played in the pool. The man that came with her sat on a lounge close by and kept an eye on everything so we could relax. It was then that I found out she was wearing a full face mask which included hair. You aren't going to believe this until you see it but you can't tell she was wearing a mask, I swear to God. It was so real it looked like her real skin. I kissed her and I couldn't tell the difference."

"Back to the details, I found out the organization she's with employs a master of disguise who is a former CIA person and he makes both male and female masks for their operatives. She told me I could see her every day of the week and not know it was her."

"She told me her organization is committed to our safety and they will do whatever it takes to help. She also said it was very helpful to know in advance if we were doing something, like me taking Tina and her family to the park, but they have people standing by to follow us when we leave home. Again, this is like being in a spy movie. I figured out how to contact her, so I might be able to get her to meet with the four of us if you want." Joanna finished saying.

I sat silent in my seat as I mulled over the information I just heard. Ted asked, "I know you told me you go out in the woods and talk, would she respond to anyone else if we did that?"

"I really don't think so, to be honest with you Ted. I get the feeling both the woman I know as Judy and her organization want to remain anonymous. That's why she wears the mask. She said with me being a cop, she couldn't take the chance of me seeing her real face because even though I've seen her I still don't know who she is." Joanna responded.

"Joanna, would you see if you can get her to meet just the four of us, even if we have to walk out by the pond? I'd like to be able to ask her some questions." I said as I looked over my shoulder.

Joanna said, "I'll take a walk out in the woods tomorrow. However, if she calls the house phone, she may not talk to anyone but me. Would it be ok with both of you if I use my cell phone number in the woods and let her call that number?"

Ted looked at me and said, "I don't see any problem in that."

"Go ahead use your cell phone number. I don't care what it takes to make arrangements to meet Judy; I'd like to see if she will."

"What time will you be home tomorrow night Dan? I'll have to be able to give her a time to meet." Joanna asked.

"Set it up for six thirty if that's ok. I should be home by then and have a few minutes to relax." I responded.

"I want you to know, if she meets us by the pond, her people will also be there. You won't be able to see them but they'll be watching us." Joanna warned

"Are you saying there'll be armed men or women around the area of the waterfall and pond while we're talking to this Judy?" Mary asked

"Yes. She is never alone." Joanna replied with authority in her voice

"Damn, this is like living out a spy movie." Mary added

I looked over my shoulder at Joanna, "Joanna, I know Ted probably won't be able to get you out of that jail duty right away but I've encouraged him to try very hard. I've told him that you've demonstrated your ability and I feel your talents are being wasted on jail duty. In addition, I'm sure Ted won't be able to keep you on special assignment now that we're home, but there's no reason for you to leave our house if you don't want to. You are welcome to stay and if you decide to stay, I'll buy a bed for you to sleep in."

Joanna looked at me saying, "Dan, I really appreciate what you've said, but I don't want to wear out my welcome. I've learned a lot about myself while I've been staying at your house. The fact that Mary and Shelly talked me into being nude in front of so many others was a huge step for me and now I love being nude. I can talk openly about my personal sex life and not be embarrassed. I enjoy allowing others to see my naked body. There are just so many changes, it's hard to fathom."

"While you were gone I've jogged through the woods completely naked and found out that it makes me very wet. Once I walked and once I jogged from the end of the trail up the road to your driveway naked in hope someone would drive by and see me, but no one did. God, I was so soaking wet when I got to the driveway."

"Once I was told that there are people in the woods surrounding your house watching for any danger, but at the same time they have watched all of us having sex out on the lawn, the deck, the pool and hot tub at first I was embarrassed. Judy told me not to say anything to anyone and advised me not to change my habits and continue doing everything including having sex in front of her people. At that point I became an exhibitionist and I found out I loved being watched, it made me super wet. You are the first people I've said this to so I hope you'll keep my secret. I want people to see me naked now; it's so much more fun."

Mary looked at Joanna and asked, "Have we created a monster?"

"No you haven't created a monster but you've let the tigress out of her cage and she's on the prowl for new and better adventures. Dan, I love your house and the leisure lifestyle all of you live. I want to live like that the rest of my life." Joanna replied.

"While we are talking about the break-in, Judy convinced me to pull the disc out of the machine and replace it with a blank disc because she didn't want the police to get the disc. I have it hidden up in your bedroom Dan. I know it's probably tampering with evidence but since the police don't know about the disc, I figured it would be better to wait for all of you to get home and decide what to do with the disc."

Ted exclaimed, "I tried to review the disc this afternoon when I got home and it was blank. I thought the system had messed up."

"I didn't look at the disc so I don't know what's on it; I just replaced it with a disc I unwrapped." Joanna replied.

Jake pulled up to the gate and pushed in his code number and all of us drove in past the gate. While Ted waited for the gate to close he said to Joanna, "When we get in the house, we'll go up to Dan's bedroom and you can get the disc for me. I want to look at it."

Mary piped up saying, "Hummmm, Joanna it sounds like the boss can't wait to get you into the bedroom and naked. He wants to take a look at it."

The girls started giggling and Ted said, "Yep, I definitely want to take a look at it but I have to have a player to put it in to see the quality."

Joanna said, "Hey, I'm a player! Didn't you hear me when I said I love to be seen naked now?"

The girls were still laughing as they got out of the car and started unbuttoning their dresses. Ted turned to Joanna and said, "Just don't make a big deal out of it but head upstairs and I'll follow."

Joanna walked upstairs without saying anything to anyone and while she was in our closet, Ted called out, "Hey, where are you?"

"I'm in the closet." Joanna said as she burst out laughing.

Ted opened the door and said, "Well come out of the closet then. I don't mind."

Both of them laughed at the double meaning and Joanna handed the disc to Ted. Again she said, "All I did was take it out, so whatever you find on there is what happened."

Ted said, "I'm just interested in finding out how many people were sent to this house to get Terri and Hanna. There's a lot of big money floating around somewhere to hire those guys and we need to piece this together."

Joanna asked, "May I work with you on this? I know I'm only a rookie assigned to the jail but I'm also part of this now. They made me part of it when they broke into the house. And I'd love to see this through to the end. You know they're going to call me as a witness."

Ted said, "I know. Let me see what I can do. I'm going to work in the morning and since I'll be back at work, they'll want me to release you from this special assignment. I'm going to ask for a few more days so we can have a chance to talk before you go back. I have some questions for you."

"Ted, all of us were naked when the cops arrived. They saw me, Tony, Patty, Beth and Barbie completely naked. They held Tony and me downstairs even though I told them I was a cop. Ted, I had to show my pussy to keep them from talking about me at the station. I told them we were in bed when the alarm went off" Joanna replied

"The one thing I ask of you is not to say anything to anyone about our lifestyle here and don't give them any additional information other than what you told them on the morning of the break-in." Ted added.

Ted and Joanna left my bedroom and Ted put the disc in his room before both of them headed downstairs with everyone else.

Downstairs, everyone was gathered in the dining room. I remembered I hadn't said anything to Terri and Hanna about talking to my lawyer so I asked Terri to follow me into the office. I closed the door and said, "Terri, I talked to my lawyer Ed Hurley today and told him you wanted to change your name. I told him he has to come out here to see you and to bring the paperwork with him. I told him I'll cover the cost for legal and court fees. So he'll be calling you to set up an appointment. Is that ok?"

Terri threw her arm around my neck and said, "Thank you dad, it means so much to me. I want to have a real family again."

"Terri, for this next part, I want you to go get Hanna and bring her in here." I said.

Terri was gone for a couple of minutes and came back with Hanna. I looked at both of them and then said, "Ed Hurley, my lawyer is going to represent both of you even though the District Attorney will prosecute the case for you. I want to make sure we stay on top of the investigation and we have someone inside to get information for us and to make sure there's a full investigation."

Terri asked, "But why would you pay an attorney to represent us if the District Attorney is doing it as part of his job?"

"Sometimes people with some kind of influence will have certain information, let's say, left uncovered. I want to make sure the investigation turns over even the smallest leaf to make sure we have everything. With Ed working with the District Attorney, I'm positive that will happen." I replied.

"Also I talked to Ed about the two of you. The men who abused you have assets and I told Ed I wanted him to seize their assets and the value can be divided between you when this case is settled. So Ed is going to talk to both of you when he comes out here and fill you in on what he's doing. He'll also brief me, since I'll be paying him." I said

I asked both girls if they had any questions and neither one had any. I said, "Let's go back and join the others."

After they hugged me we walked out to the kitchen and joined the others.

Jake asked me, "Dan, we've had a lot of fun hanging around with all of you great people but Kathy and I should get back to the farm. Do you think you can catch that pilot friend of yours, was his name Jack Smith, and find out when he'd be available to take us back?"

"Oh damn, I thought you would like to stay. Yes, I'll call Jack right now." I replied

I walked into the office and pulled Jack's card out and dialed his number. Jack answered his phone and immediately asked, "Can't get by without me, can ya Dan?"

I started laughing and said, "Someday I'm going to block my name and number and then call your phone repeatedly just to harass you."

"I can picture you doing that too." Jack said as he laughed loudly.

"So what do I owe this phone call to? Are your in-laws ready to go back home?" Jack asked

"Yes, they've got to get back to the farm. When are you available to fly back up there?" I asked

"I can go as soon as you can get out to the airport or the next time I'll be available will be in three days. I have a trip going out tomorrow around noon that's going to take me out of the area for a few days." Jack said.

"Jack I can't go with you this trip because we just got home from Germany today and I have my car coming to pick me up at seven thirty tomorrow morning. I was promoted to Chairman of the Board and CEO today. So I have to be in the office early tomorrow morning. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all Dan. Congratulations by the way, on your promotion. I can take them up and drop them off if they are ready to go."

I called Jake's name and within a few seconds he walked into the office. I looked at him and said, "Jack's on the phone and he said if I bring you right out to the airport, he can take you home tonight. He's got a trip leaving tomorrow at around noon and he won't be back for three days. What would like to do?"

"I don't want to put him in a bind by flying us home tonight if he has to go out tomorrow." Jake said.

Jack heard Jake and said to me, "It's no problem, tell him I'll have plenty of rest before I have to fly tomorrow."

I relayed the message and Jake said, "If he's sure, about taking us tonight, we can go. I really would like to get back to the farm. No telling what them kids have been up to since we've been gone."

While Jake went out to tell Kathy to get ready to go, I finished talking to Jack and told him to send me the bill for the flights and I'd get a check right out to him. I also told him I was still interested in being an investor in his business and reminded him to get the information to my lawyer.

When I finished my conversation I walked back out into the dining room and heard Kim say, "Honey, I sat up in the front with Jack and I didn't have any clothes on."

When Jenna saw me she asked, "Dad, may I ride with Jake and Kathy since all of you have to go to bed?"

"I don't see why not. There is plenty of room in the plane and Jack has to come back tonight because he has a flight out tomorrow. I'm sure he won't mind the company. Do you want me to call him to be sure?"

"Yes." Jenna replied.

"May I ride too?" Joanna asked

"I'll be right back." I replied.

I called Jack and asked him if he minded a couple of young ladies riding up and back with him, his immediate reply was "HELL NO! Gezzzz Dan, that's what I term as a dumb question. The more the merrier."

"Don't say that Jack unless you mean it. Remember I have a few young ladies here and many more that visit. I could overfill your plane with young ladies." I replied.

"So when are you going to invite me to your house Dan? You know I always wanted to visit you, ole buddy!" Jack said as he laughed.

"When we get ready to sign that business deal that you haven't sent to my lawyer, then I'll have you come to visit." I said as I returned his laugh.

"Ok, I'll tell the girls they can ride along. I know this is another dumb question but do you mind if they ride nude? I'm only asking because Kim has been talking to them out in the dining room." I inquired.

Jack gasped and waited a few seconds before he said, "I want to get there and back safely, they won't try to take advantage of me will they?" Jack followed his sentence with a hardy laugh.

"One is my daughter Jack, the other is a cop." I said in a matter of fact voice.

"All righty then," came Jack's reply "I guess I'll have to behave myself for once."

I laughed, "Both of them are over eighteen so whatever they want to do, I have no control over. Enjoy your flight."

I went back out to the dining room and told Jenna and Joanna it was ok for them to go and that I already warned Jack that he could possibly be seeing four very beautiful boobies and two of the most gorgeous looking pussies in the neighborhood."

"Joanna, the keys to my Navigator are over there on the key board. It's not that I don't trust my daughter's driving, she likes to have a heavy foot at times and if you are less than fully dressed, it wouldn't be a good idea to get stopped. Don't forget to take some towels to sit on." I said with a smile as I hugged Jenna.

Jenna looked at Joanna and asked, "What are you going to wear? I'm going to wear this sundress because it buttons up the front. I'm also going to take a light sweater in case it gets chilly later."

Joanna said, "I don't have a sweater, may I borrow one of yours?" Both Jenna and Joanna ran upstairs to get a sweater.

Jake and Kathy came down stairs all dressed carrying their suitcases and Ted was carrying a box. They set everything down in the kitchen and while Ted and Jake went back upstairs Kathy said, "We're going back with more than we came here with. The boxes are full of the souvenirs we bought in Germany."

Ted and Jake came back downstairs carrying some more boxes so I opened the garage door for them and then led the way over to the Navigator. We packed in all of the boxes and Jake brought out the suit cases and packed them in also. When we were finished, we walked back into the house and everyone said their goodbyes and shared plenty of hugs and kisses.

Both Jenna and Joanna had their sundresses on but neither of them had even one button buttoned. I looked at them and said, "Have a safe trip."

Joanna smiled and said, "Jenna and I will make sure your pilot friend stays awake!"

Beth held Kathy's hand as they walked out into the garage together. While the garage door opened Beth cried on her mom's shoulder and Jake comforted her from the side. All of us watched as they said their tearful goodbyes before Kathy slipped into the back seat followed closely by Jake. Beth stood in the open back door and talked to her parents while I talked to Joanna and gave her instructions where to park and what to look for. I told her that Jack would already be there and that Jake knew what Jack's plane looked like.

Finally I stepped behind Beth and looked into the back seat and said, "I'll take very good care of your daughter."

Kathy said, "I think it's the other way around mister."

"Come to think of it, you're right Kathy. Hey guys, have a safe trip home, it's been a pleasure having you here and we look forward to when you can come back."

Beth leaned into the car for one last kiss and hug and then stepped back and closed the door. Joanna started the Navigator and backed out of the garage. We stood in the open door and watched as they drove down the driveway and disappeared. I pushed the button and closed the garage door and all of us turned and went back into the house.

Terri walked over to Beth and hugged her and said, "Don't be sad, your mom and dad will be back here someday soon."

They embraced and Beth said, "I know, but it was so much fun having them near me again. This has been the longest I've been with my parents since I left home." When they finished their hug Terri squeezed Beth's hands.

Terri turned around and headed towards the kitchen door saying, "I need to check the phone messages before we go to bed. I saw the light blinking on the phone when we came in."

We milled around between the kitchen and the dining room while Terri checked the messages. When she finished she handed me a list of three calls for me and then she handed Kim a list with two numbers on it. Kim looked at the short message with each number and said, "I can take care of these calls tomorrow, what do you have Dan?"

I looked at the calls and said, "One of my calls is from Jeff Simpson. I'd better call him."

Ted, Mary and Shelly followed me into the office. Ted walked over and tinkered with some of the monitors while I sat down behind the desk and dialed Jeff's number. I had my phone set on speaker phone so everyone in the office could listen to the conversation. Jeff picked up his phone on the third ring and after identifications were finished I told Jeff that Ted, Mary and Shelly were in the office with me and I had him on speaker phone.

"What's up Jeff?" I asked.

"First, I'd like to congratulate you on your promotion. They chose the best man for the job." Jeff said.

"Thank you Jeff, I'm really excited and it should be challenging." I replied.

"Dan, the reason I called you is because I found out late this morning that we can move into that large house out in the country I was telling you about." Jeff said

"Well, I guess I'll pass the congratulations back to you. I know you and Tina wanted that big house so the kids had a place to run. When can you move in?" I asked

"That's why I'm calling you Dan. I called the moving company that you told me to call and when I mentioned your name, suddenly they have a truck, packers and movers available for tomorrow. I couldn't turn down a deal like that so I set them up to be here first thing tomorrow morning. We'll be all moved into the new house tomorrow. We wanted to let Joanna know before she came to pick up Tina and the kids." Jeff said

"Will they be able to move you completely tomorrow?" I asked

Jeff replied, "Yes. I told them what we have to move and they told me their packers will arrive first with the boxes and packing material. They will have a couple of hours to pack before the movers arrive to start moving the big stuff. I told them I'll be at work and I was told they'll handle all the logistics of the move. They told me they don't anticipate any problem having us moved into the new house by tomorrow night. They said their packers will help Tina pack everything by the room so when we get to the new house they'll put the boxes in the right room. I was told they'll even help her unpack so they can take the boxes back with them."

"I'm glad you called me because Ted will have to make arrangements for your security detail outside your house." I said.

Ted spoke up saying, "Jeff I need the address for your new house."

After Jeff gave Ted the address, I asked, "Jeff, when will you be able to get a phone line in your new house?"

"Dan, I didn't even think about that. I'll have to call them in the morning and have them turn this phone off and turn one on for me at the new house." Jeff said.

"Come up to my office tomorrow when you get to work and you can call them from there. That way if you need my help, I can get on the phone and convince them of the urgency for you to have a phone line hooked up tomorrow." I said

"Thank you Dan, I really appreciate all your help. While I'm at it, thank you for helping me get my new job, I love it and the people I work with are great." Jeff said

I looked at Ted, Mary and Shelly and asked them if they had any questions for Jeff. All of them shook their heads no so I said, "Jeff, I'll see you when you get to work in the morning. Good night."

"Good night Dan and thank you again." Jeff replied.
