It was a nice restaurant with the obligatory plaster swordfish hung on the wall. The tables were real wood stained a dark brown. Unlike a lot of places, this one had actual cloth napkins and the silverware was set out in proper place settings. The two cops felt a little out of place there. They were dressed in their normal uniform complete with nightsticks and guns. Ed and Leroy were the only ones in the restaurant that were not wearing suit coats, although neither one of them seemed to notice. Looking over the menu, Jay said, "This place is kind of expensive." His partner nodded his head in agreement. He reached for his wallet to see how much money he had, when Ed stopped him. "Put your wallet away. It's our treat." The two cops exchanged glances, unsure what to do. Hoping to let the men know that they were really free to order what they wanted, Leroy asked, "Do you guys feel like the lobster tonight?" Harry glanced at the menu and noticed that the price for the lobster was listed as Market Price. Even the low end item on the menu was expensive. Not for the first time, he wished that they had suggested a different place to eat. Mumbling, he said, "It all looks good." Ed leaned across the table and said, "I'm authorized to spend a lot for dinner tonight. You guys order what you want. There's no way that we can spend half as much as my budget allows in this place." The two cops relaxed assuming that Ed was on some sort of FBI expense account. Jay said, "It must be nice working for the FBI." Smiling, Ed answered, "I work for the IRS. John is the one that works for the FBI." Leroy smiled and said, "I'm just a civilian observer." Harry looked over the menu and decided on the fisherman's platter. It had a nice assortment of seafood and wasn't the most expensive item on the menu. He announced, "I'm going with the Fisherman's Platter." Ed looked over that item in the menu and decided that sounded pretty good. He said, "Actually, that sounds pretty good. I think I'll have that too." Jay shrugged and said, "Count me in." Shaking his head, Leroy said, "I know it's going to sound like a black stereotype, but I'm going with the fried catfish." Ed laughed and replied, "A man after my own heart. You order what you want and you enjoy what you get! Who cares what others may think." The waiter came over to the table and started the spiel about the specials of the day. Ed held up a hand and said, "We know what we want." Making a face like he had bitten into a lemon, the waiter replied, "Very well, sir. What do you want?" After the men placed their orders, Ed asked, "Could you bring us a pitcher of iced tea?" "A pitcher?" "Yes, a pitcher. It's that or you get to run back and forth all evening," replied Ed. He watched the expression on the face of the waiter, recognizing that the man thought this party belonged at a burger joint instead of a fine restaurant. "What ever you say, sir." Looking over at the two policemen, Ed joked, "I bet he goes in the back and tells everyone that a couple of country bumpkins have come to town." With a wicked grin on his face, Leroy suggested, "Why don't you make his day? Flash your IRS badge at him and ask if he declares all of his tips." While everyone laughed, Jay leaned back and said, "That's mean." A large group of men in suits entered the dining room and were seated at three tables that had been moved together to accommodate the large party. One of the men kept looking over at Ed. Finally, he came over to the table and asked, "Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to be Ed Biggers?" Looking up at the man, Ed answered, "Yes, I am." The man immediately extended a hand and said, "I'm Jim Morrison, the Attorney General for the State of Colorado." At the announcement of the man's identity, Jay and Harry stood up. They expected the man to give his normal denial of having been with the Doors, but he didn't. The two looked at each other wondering why the Attorney General would come over to their table. Accepting the man's hand in a firm handshake, Ed asked, "It's pleasure to meet you. What can I do for you?" "Nothing, I just wanted to thank you for your role in Operation Druids Revenge. We just successfully prosecuted another mob figure today," replied Jim. He pointed over to the table and said, "The prosecutor and others associated with the case are over at my table." The two cops looked at each other and then at Ed, realizing only now the identity of the man they were supposed to be protecting. Puzzled, Ed said, "We didn't target anyone in Colorado." Jim said, "The Las Vegas crowd had some operations going on here. In the follow up investigations we shut a number of them down here." As understanding burst over him, Ed replied, "That's great. I'll let John know that his operation grabbed more than we had planned." Jim looked over at the policemen and said, "I see you are here with two of Denver's finest." Slapping his head with the palm of his hand, Ed said, "I'm sorry, I should have introduced our party. The two officers are Harry Albertson and Jay Brown. They are escorting us around the city while we are here. This gentleman is Leroy Jones, he's a member of our family and providing backup on another case." The waiter showed up with their salads and after setting them on a nearby table, waited politely behind Jim. The waiter knew that Jim was the Attorney General since his office had arranged for the tables earlier. He wondered what such an important man was doing over here with these cops and two lowlifes. Jim shook the hands of everyone there. He turned to the cops and said, "Take really good care of these two, they are perhaps the most important people you'll ever meet." As the waiter looked at Ed and Leroy trying to figure out who they were, the two cops answered together, "Yes, sir." Jim looked over at Ed and said, "If you or John ever need anything in Colorado, just call my office." Ed said, "I'm sure John will be sad that he missed you. He's on stake-out right now eating an MRE." "You guys are on another case?" asked Jim. Nodding, Ed said, "Two of them. You'll hear all about them tomorrow night on the news." Realizing that Ed wouldn't say another word about what they were working on, Jim said, "Well, I'll let you gentlemen get back to your meal. It's been a real honor to meet you." Turning, he noticed the waiter standing behind him and said, "Put their bill on our tab." Raising an eyebrow, Ed said, "Thank you very much." Jim returned to the table as the waiter set the salads on the table. The two cops sat down exchanging looks. It was clear that John and Ed were a lot more important than they had realized. Jay said, "Maybe we should get an undercover agent to take John's place." Shaking his head, Ed said, "No, John is fine." Harry said, "It's an awful dangerous place to be." Laughing, Ed replied, "I guess you didn't notice all the stray dogs and cats moving into the area where John is sitting. There are probably a hundred rats there as well. He's a lot better protected than any undercover policeman." Leroy thought back to the raid this morning and only now realized that there had been a large number of cats, birds, and dogs in the area. The cats had even followed them into the house. Looking over at Ed, he asked, "Is that why there were so many animals at the raid this morning?" "Yes," replied Ed with a knowing nod. The initial report of the restaurant incident had suggested that a large number of birds had surrounded John when he approached the armed man. Jay said, "That explains what happened this afternoon. John was surrounded by all kinds of birds." Not fully knowledgeable about the events at the restaurant, Ed was not comfortable addressing that episode directly. Choosing a more general answer, Ed said, "John is the Grand Druid. He is very well protected. I imagine that he isn't very comfortable tonight, but he wants to do it." Leroy silently processed that news. In the time spent at the house, he had noticed that people didn't generally talk about the things they did unless it was a normal kind of activity. Even when they had rescued that woman trapped in the car, they had treated it as an everyday event. In a way, he now understood. He didn't really want to talk about the raid this morning, as it was horribly painful. Finally, he said, "So how long have you guys been policemen?" The discussion centered on the two cops and their lives in the patrol car. The men ate their salads as the discussion progressed, finishing them in time for their dinners to be delivered. The pitcher of iced tea was emptied and then refilled. The dinner progressed in a relaxed fashion. The waiter treated them with much more respect, having overheard discussions about Ed at the other table. As the men finished their meal with Soufflés, Ed asked, "So how do you guys want to handle the night?" Jay looked up and asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, I assume that you'll be going off duty as soon as you drop us off at the hotel," answered Ed. He added, "I also assume that you'll want to be present at the arrests tomorrow if anything happens there." Harry nodded his head and replied, "That's true." Ed said, "How about I promise that we won't leave the hotel until you come in the morning?" Jay looked over at Harry before he answered, "Okay. We'll double check with the Sargent and clear it with him." "Sounds good to me," said Ed. Finished with his desert, Ed looked around the room deciding how to end the evening. After a few minutes, he said, "I'm going to suggest that we head back to the hotel. I have a promise to keep with Leroy and it is getting late." Leroy grinned and looked down at his desert. He said, "I'm done with my meal." The two cops had finished their desert long before Ed and had spent most of the time listening to Ed and Leroy talk. They were both ready to head home and get some rest. After Ed stopped at the other table and extended his thanks for covering the meal, the group left. In the morning, Ed had arranged for a limousine to carry them around the city. After driving to the warehouse district, they had waited for news that arrests were being made at the warehouse where the stolen car had been stashed. Once the news had arrived, they approached the location where John had spent the night. In front of John, two men were sprawled out on the sidewalk moaning softly. Ed and Leroy got out of the limousine and joined John on the sidewalk. Looking at John with the leaves in his beard, dirt on his face, and bags under his eyes, Ed commented, "Well, it looks like you had a rough night." John looked at Ed and Leroy as Leroy blushed under the examination. He teased, "It looks to me like you got less sleep than I did. Anything I should know about?" "Nah. Nothing outside the usual debauchery, you'd have been bored," replied Ed with a wink. Leroy just stood there looking embarrassed. One of the men on the ground attempted to get up. A quick rap with the walking stick put him back on the ground. A police car arrived. Harry and Jay got out and looked at the men on the ground. Harry asked, "Any problems?" "Nope. I just captured two Cronians." All of the men laughed at the joke. John had said that he was going to act like a crazy man afraid of being captured by the Cronians, stating that Cronians were human-like aliens that differed from people by not having nipples. Leroy asked, "Did you check out their nipples?" Inspector Kosta, the detective that had assigned the two patrolmen to watch over John and Ed, walked up. Looking down at the two men on the ground, he shook his head realizing that in two days John had been successful in resolving a hostage situation and breaking a car theft ring that had been in operation for months. He said, "Well, congratulations. They caught the whole gang. There was another stolen car in the truck." John shrugged as though he had done nothing and replied, "I'm glad to hear that. We had better get over to FBI headquarters. Inspector Kosta, you're welcome to join us if you'd like." At FBI headquarters, Inspector Kosta listened in shock as the reports from the field arrived. He had figured that any case the John Carter was involved in would be big, but he had no idea how expansive this case was. As report after report of an arrest arrived, the true scope of the operation became clear. John sat back with a smile on his face as he thought about the number of monsters that were going to jail. They arrested almost three hundred adults and liberated just as many children from sexual slavery. Ed and Leroy worked with several of the other agents in organizing the reports. As messages came in from the field, Ed sorted them according to location and handed them to Leroy. Leroy hung the reports on the wall by location. As they worked, a picture of what was happening around the country slowly developed. When the last report came in, Inspector Kosta said, "Very impressive. I don't know how you do it. You captured a car theft ring and child swapping ring all in the same day." Agent Mauz added, "This operation today was entirely due to you, John." John yawned as he shook his head. The lack of sleep the night before was catching up to him. "No, I had lots of help." Ed looked up at the clock and realized how little sleep John had over the past two days. He suggested, "I'd say it's about time we head home, wouldn't you?" "Sure. Let's go. I turn this operation over to you Agent Mauz." John turned to face at Inspector Kosta. With a wink, he said, "I'll give you one hint, never do your own paperwork." The laughter that came from Inspector Kosta was genuine. "Yes, that'll give you about 38 hours a week more to work on cases." Ed drove the jeep into the driveway as the garage door opened and pulled into John's normal space. Turning off the jeep, he sat back in his seat and rubbed his eyes. He and Leroy had taken turns driving home while John slept in the back seat. Getting out, Leroy stretched and yawned while Ed looked in the back of the jeep at the sleeping form of John. Ed reached back and shook John awake. "We're home, John." Yawning, John sat up and stretched his arms, as much as was possible within the tight confines of the jeep. He looked around at the garage with surprise. He protested, "Oh, we're home. Why didn't you wake me earlier?" Leroy laughed at the suggestion and answered, "We weren't brave enough to return home with a tired John. Ling would skin us alive." The men got out of the jeep and headed into the house. Cathy met them at the door with a notepad of items to discuss. Turning to John, she said, "John, you've had another invitation to the White House. I turned it down as per your standing order. You have a date tomorrow night with one of the wives in town. She'll be here around seven for dinner. The University called and wanted to know if you still intended to take a semester off from your lectures. I told them that your intentions had not changed. I've put your tax forms in your inbox. You need to look over them, but Jack and the IRS agent have both okayed it." John mumbled, "Thanks, Cathy." She turned to Ed and recited, "Your tax forms are in your inbox. A check arrived from the New York Diamond Exchange. They gave you a nice bonus. I deposited it in your account. A box of samples arrived from Antarctica. I put it on the table in front of your workshop. You have a date tomorrow night with Rosa. She'll be here for dinner around seven. A rather persistent student has called several times a day wanting to know if you'll be his advisor for his dissertation. I told him that you would be available to talk to him tomorrow at three." Smiling despite the fact that he had at least two days worth of work ahead of him, Ed replied, "Thanks, Cathy. You're a lifesaver." She turned to Leroy and recited, "Your thesis advisor called while you were out. I told him you'd be available tomorrow at three." Leroy hugged Cathy. "I think you're the greatest." Cathy smiled and returned to her office. The three men looked at each other as if to ask what they should do next. John suggested, "Nothing to do until tomorrow afternoon. How about a swim?" Leroy answered, "Sounds perfect to me." The three men entered the poolroom laughing about crazy John. It took them a minute to realize that the room wasn't empty. Mrs. Hayes, Ling, Kelly, and Linda were lounging on the chairs beside the pool. Dr. Hayes was in his wheelchair next to his wife. There wasn't a stitch of clothes on any one of them. Kelly asked, "What's so funny?" Leroy took a quick glance in Linda's direction and then answered, "We were laughing about crazy John." A confused look crossed Ling's face. She had never heard anyone refer to John in that fashion. "What about John?" "Not John, crazy John!" asserted Ed who couldn't believe that John had actually pulled off the crazy act. Laughing, John got a crazy look on his face. "I can see by all of the nipples in the room that these are all earthlings. You two, I'm not sure about. Do you have nipples? I have nipples, very good nipples. I bet you're from Cro. Are you Cronians?" Ed and Leroy laughed as they took off their shirts. Ed pointing to the nipples on his chest answered, "We have nipples." John frowned and looked crazy for a minute. Making a wild face, he asked, "Are you sure those are nipples? They might be painted on. I'm not going back in space." While Ed and Leroy laughed, they slipped off their shoes and pants. John took off his cloak and robes. Still puzzled, Kelly asked, "So what is all this talk about Cronians?" Leroy answered, "We found some car thieves in Denver. John went over to them acting like crazy John and watched them until the police arrived. The car thieves were quite confused by all of the talk about Cronians too." Dr. Hayes smiled at the image. "Very nice. I bet they thought you were mad as a hatter." "Yes they did. They even asked me if I was an undercover cop. I told them I was FBI. They didn't believe that either." Linda still looked puzzled. "Why would you watch them until the police arrived?" As the men finished undressing, Ed explained about the car theft ring they had broken up that night. By the time Ed finished telling the story, all three men were naked and standing by the pool. John quipped, "Last one in is a..." As soon as John started talking, Ed grabbed Leroy and jumped into the water. With a little difficulty, Leroy kept his cast out of the water. Seeing the other two men in the water, John added lamely, "great guy." Everyone laughed as he finally got in the water. Ed and John took a couple of laps, while Leroy walked around. He couldn't wait until he would be able to swim and splash water like everyone else. He looked over at Dr. Hayes and realized that he was actually very lucky in comparison. When the men exited the pool, Ed took a moment to look over Dr. Hayes, Mrs. Hayes, and Linda. Despite their age, the elderly couple still appeared to be in good shape. Admittedly, Dr. Hayes had lost some weight and muscle tone as a result of his injury, but with a little work and a reasonable diet he was going to recover as a very healthy man. Mrs. Hayes reminded him of Beth, and looking at her, he knew that Beth would have aged gracefully. The thought depressed him. Looking over at Linda, he was surprised by how curvy her body was. The clothes that she normally wore hid her body. Even the one-piece bathing suit, complete with ruffles, was designed to hide the real shape of her body. It confused him why she would want to hide that body. Ed had been lost in his thoughts, when Linda finally exclaimed, "Hey, aren't you guys going to say anything?" Leroy asked, "About what?" "About the fact that I'm naked." Looking at everyone in the room, Ed laughed and said, "So is everyone else." "I told you they wouldn't say anything. They'd treat you like you were fully clothed." Mrs. Hayes snorted, "I can't believe they didn't make any remarks about this old wrinkled body." In a very serious tone of voice, John replied, "I only see beautiful people in this room. Mrs. Hayes is glowing with a newfound confidence. Dr. Hayes looks happier than I've ever seen him, accepting a lifestyle that he's probably always wanted. I see a young woman that has found her passion and is about to unleash it on an unsuspecting world. Leroy sees himself as a human being that can embrace all that life has to offer him. Kelly has that glow that a woman achieves only in the creation of a new life. Ling is a force of nature and is following her path to happiness." Dr. Hayes commented, "You're quite perceptive." "He's much more perceptive than you would credit him for. He's worked hard to bring everyone to this point. He's offered me a chance to explore my personal boundaries without pressure. He's kept from sleeping with Linda until she's found herself. You don't think it was an accident that Bob and Sarah were always naked when it was their turn to watch over you?" offered Leroy. He knew he wasn't fully aware of all that John was doing to help people become all that they could be. John stood up and walked over to where his clothes were laying on the floor. He picked up his robe and slipped it over his head. He turned to Leroy and corrected him, "The only thing I do is love the people around me. It's that simple." Linda watched John leave the room and asked, "Where's he going?" Debating whether he should answer, Ed looked at the smiles on the faces of his wives and decided that it would be best if he said nothing. Changing the subject, Ed said, "Leroy made a pretty big step towards joining the family while we were in Denver." "Oh really?" asked Ling with a speculative look in her eye. She ran her tongue over her lips as she examined Leroy. After a quick glance at Ed, she said, "Leroy, could you help me with something in my room?" The question caught Leroy by surprise as he had been talking to Dr. Hayes and hadn't heard what Ed had said. Not knowing what she wanted with him, he volunteered anyway, "Sure." As Ling and Leroy headed out of the room, Linda asked, "What does she need him to do?" Laughing at the naivete of the question, Kelly answered, "She has an itch that needs to be scratched." "She doesn't have to leave to have him scratch her back," remarked Mrs. Hayes. Laughing, Ed replied, "That's not what she's getting scratched." "Oh," replied a very embarrassed Mrs. Hayes when she realized what Ed meant. It was almost a minute later when Linda, eyes wide, said, "Oh!" The delay caused almost everyone to burst out laughing. Dr. Hayes, winking at Ed, said, "Mrs. Hayes, I have an itch that needs scratching as well." "Oh, you're a sex fiend all of a sudden," the elderly woman replied. As she went to push the wheelchair out of the room, she said, "Imagine, I find that I'm married to a dirty old man after forty-three years of marriage." Ed laughed and watched her push the wheelchair out of the room. Now that only Kelly, Linda, and he were left in the room, Ed was about to ask about the pregnancy. Looking over at Kelly, he realized that she wanted to say something. Kelly was looking at Ed hoping that he would get the hint that he should leave. When he just sat there looking at her, she realized he was waiting for her to say something. Frustrated, she said, "Ed, don't you have to check on how the new staff is fitting into the household?" Tapping his temple with a fingertip as he realized that Kelly wanted to talk to Linda before her date with John, Ed said, "Sorry, I didn't think about it. I'll be back after a while." After dressing, Ed left the room to the women and went to locate the two new men they had hired. Cutting through the garden, he found Bob sitting on a bench. Sitting down next to Bob, Ed asked, "How's it going?" Bob, turning his whole body to face Ed, answered, "Pretty good. Walt is over by the waterfall cleaning the filters right now. I imagine they are pretty messy as I haven't been able to take care of them weekly." "Do you like working with him?" asked Ed curious how the man was taking to his new responsibilities. "Oh, yeah. He's a good hard worker. I can't wait to get this brace off my neck and get back to work myself. It'll be fun having someone with whom to share the duties," replied Bob. Walt came out from behind the waterfall carrying a plastic bag. He looked at the mess on his hands and asked, "Where can I wash up?" Bob answered, "I usually rinse my hands off in the pond after changing the filters. Then I trim some of the dead leaves off the plants." Bending down to wash his hands in the pond, Walt answered, "Smart. Do you want to check my work?" "Do I need to?" "No, but I'd feel better if you did. It's the first time I've done anything like that," replied Walt. There had been a lot of firsts since he started working at the house. Stiffly, Bob stood up and walked behind the waterfall. Ed watched him go and asked, "So, how do you like it here?" Smiling, Walt said, "Lots of new things to learn, but I like the work. It's a little of this and a little of that. Nothing too hard, but most of it just takes time." "Settling in okay?" "I went out and bought some furniture the other day. It's really nice to be able to go in my room and relax after working all day," replied Walt. He had bought a television, a stereo, a chair, and a small desk. Sarah had visited him several times in his room and he had enjoyed the sessions with her tremendously. "Good. So are you going to stay?" "You'll have to fire me to get rid of me," replied Walt. Laughing, he added, "And I might stay here and work for free." Bob returned from behind the waterfall and said, "Looks good to me." "Great, I'll get to work on the plants now," replied Walt. He went along the path pulling off the dead leaves and putting them into the plastic bag. Ed didn't even try to hide his smile as he watched the man working among the plants. This young man definitely was happy here and Bob liked him. Standing up, he said, "Bob, you take it easy until you're fully healed." "Sure thing," replied Bob with a smile. Ed wandered off to the front of the house to check on Marguerite and see how she was doing. On the way, he ran into Cathy and stopped her. She looked at him wondering what he could want from her. He asked, "So how are the two new guys working out?" With a very wide grin, she answered, "Well, George is great in bed. I haven't had a chance to try Walt since Sarah has been keeping him busy." Shaking his head, Ed asked, "Are they fitting in?" "George fills me just fine and I haven't heard any complaints from Sarah," replied Cathy with a wink. Laughing at the unintended joke, Ed said, "You know what I mean." "No problems at all. They both seem happy," replied Cathy. Nodding, Ed knew that the ladies were doing their best to make the new men happy. Looking up at the sky, Ed thought to himself, "The Gods and Goddesses love randy women." <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
