Chapter 52
The Leer we boarded in Perth had the legs to fly direct to Hong Kong, but that was not how it worked out. A typhoon that had moved north even before we left swept into the South China Sea, changed direction and instead of coming ashore well to the west of Hong Kong came ashore just miles west of Hong Kong. That shut down Hong Kong International Airport and we were diverted to Taipei in Taiwan. Even landing in Taipei was an experience I didn't want to repeat anytime soon. High winds and rain pelted the aircraft on landing. It also took almost 2 hours to get our hotel.
We were all happy to finally be inside and safe, but I had to hold Rad, he was more scared than anything else. My other boys knew it and hugged Rad and calmed him down.
"Rad, you really have to know. I would never put you, Temin, or Jer in any danger. I love you five boys too much. Sometimes Son, other things prevent me from doing that."
"I guess I'm just a scardy cat."
"No love, you are just like all of us."
"But you never looked scared at all."
"He was just hiding it like he always does. He hides it so we don't get so scared." Gary said as he kissed me.
"Now how about we eat. I'm starved."
"Well we got lots you can eat." Jer giggled.
"Later, you little love bug." I laughed.
That seemed to break the tension in the room. Pretty quick everyone was looking at menus. They all decided they wanted real Chinese food. Well I figured if we couldn't get good Chinese food in Taiwan, we couldn't get it anywhere.
While they checked and ordered, used my satellite phone to call my Chinese Lawyer in Hong Kong to let him know we'd be delayed.
"Mr. Somers I am very glad you called. Do not come to Hong Kong under any circumstances."
"Say what? I thought I was supposed to testify at the trial."
"Mr. Somers, I found out the trial is already over. All seven men were sentenced to death. They are now just waiting a review from a higher court."
"If that's true, then why did I get a summons to come to Hong Kong? The State Department was very specific; they said it was in my best interests to attend."
"Mr. Somers, the real reason is a large Newspaper Chain has leveled charges that you are kidnapping young men and holding them on Sandpiper against their will. The Chinese Government has ordered you arrested if you set foot on Chinese soil."
I just bet I knew where that story came from.
"Mr. Somers, can you stay in Taiwan for a while? If so, after the airport is open I will fly to Taipei and explain everything. Although I know satellite phones are encrypted, I don't trust them. I'd rather explain everything in person."
"Yes we can stay. Let me know when you are arriving and I'll get you a room here."
"Very good Mr. Somers, I'll see you in a few days."
After I hung up Temin must have noticed the look on my face.
"Is everything okay Ed?"
"Yes love, everything is fine." I smiled at him.
"I suppose you have ordered everything but the kitchen sink for dinner."
"Well, we're real hungry."
I didn't mind Chinese food and actually enjoyed it, but it seemed I was always hungry later. Well tonight I didn't think I'd have a chance to get hungry later, not with all the sex starved boys around.
What I was going to do about The Charges was totally unknown to me. I knew who and what Newspaper was involved. I now wished I had had Mamoo fed to the bottom feeders. This was going to cause problems where ever I travelled now, so I knew I was going to have to go head on against these charges.
Well I'd be damned if I was going to let it dampen my mood. I had five wonderful boys to satisfy and I was going to totally enjoy my time with them. Dinner was fantastic and desert even better. Getting tag teamed by five very virile young men was always a lot of fun. Even though Temin, Jer and Rad were my partners, Gary and Bobby were never left out. I loved them as much as I loved my three. Sucking Gary while Temin pounded my ass or me screwing Jer or Rad was a great way to spend my time. All the boys got something that first night in Taipei.
The second day was like when we arrived. Heavy rain and high winds, so we opted to just stay in our room. The boys decided Speedos would be their dress. We did go swimming later and they turned a lot of heads with their antics in the pool. The almost sheer Speedos when they were wet left not much to the imagination. Later in the suite it was even harder as they walked around with most of them either hard or semi-hard.
I always had at least one on my lap cuddling or just sitting. Anyone who could see this would know that the charges were totally false and that gave me an idea of how to fight them. I'd wait and see what my Chinese Lawyer had before I made any plans.
The next two days were the same. Still too cold and wet to go out we just stayed and enjoyed each other. The fourth day broke clear and sunny. I took my boys on a tour and later shopping. I made sure they all bought long pants and sweaters. I had already decided where I was going after I finished in Taiwan.
Chou an Lee, my new Chinese Lawyer showed up on the fifth day of our stay. He was totally taken aback by the five young men. They were both courteous and bold when talking to him. Chou as he preferred was very open and explained everything about the charges leveled.
"Chou were these charges published in Hong Kong?"
"Oh yes indeed. I have a copy of the Newspaper."
Well the article was in Chinese so I couldn't read it. "Was the article also published in English? I know this chain published worldwide."
"I'm not sure Ed, but it would be easy to check."
"Gary, get dressed and go across the Street and buy me a copy of the International Post Enquirer. Also see if they have a copy of the National Post Enquirer."
"Okay Father."
"He's your Son Ed?"
"No not yet. As soon as I can he'll be an American citizen too. Along with these other four."
That brought tears and kisses from all five.
"Well I can see nothing is being forced here Ed."
"Forced! Hell I got to fight these guys off with a stick sometimes." I laughed as the boys pouted.
Gary was back pretty quick with several copies of each paper. Smack in the Center or both was a picture of Sandpiper. The headline below said it all.
"SANDPIPER" Is the crew forced or free.
The article bordered slander so close, I knew I was going to sue and I was going sue big.
"Chou, you are obviously a very well known Lawyer in China. The fact that my lawyer in England recommended you tells me that much. Do you happen to know who the best firm worldwide would be to handle a multi country law suit?"
"Well tell me what you have in mind first."
"I want to sue for liable and slander, every newspaper this was published in and every language. The amount will be one billion dollars US. I'll settle for 100 million out of court if a retraction is published in every single paper."
"Excuse my language, but Holy Shit."
"Well, do you know of a firm?"
"You don't play soft do you Sir. You realize the cost of such a lawsuit would be in the millions."
"I have the millions to spend and I'll spend every damn dime of it."
"Then I suggest you talk to Harriman and Associates of New York. They have offices in many countries."
"Well that fits in with where I am headed. I plan to go to Canada to work on another problem. I can fly to New York after I have finished my business in Canada."
"I would be happy to initiate a Law Suit in Hong Kong on your behalf Ed."
"Very good. Would ten percent be enough to cover your expenses?"
"More than enough Ed." He laughed.
"Good, I'll get my lawyer in England to start on it there too."
With out even thinking about it, I grabbed my briefcase, pulled out my check book and wrote out a check to Chou for 100,000 dollars.
"Call this a retainer." I said as I handed him the check.
"This is way too much Ed."
"Look Chou. You are going to have to interview everyone of my crew. I can tell you where Sandpiper is on any given day, but you are going to have to go to them. You will also have to fly to Sydney Australia, where some more of my Son's and crew are. I think your interviews might have to be shared with all the Lawyers involved, which means you will have to fly there to. I want the first lawsuit started in the US. I have lots of friends there and some holding very high offices. After that you might need to testify at any other trial. That hundred thousand might need to top up."
"You can interview these boys before you leave or we can meet again at a time more convenient."
"I think later would be better, after you have retained your other Lawyers."
After a real good dinner in the dinning room of the hotel, Chou left.
Before I went to bed, I cancelled the charter Jet and booked six first class tickets on JAL to Vancouver, Canada.
The commuter flight to Japan was pretty short and we were quickly on a JAL Jumbo Jet bound for Vancouver. I had a long talk with Jake to bring him up to speed on what I was doing. He told me he'd head for Timatu when they left Beagle Bay.
The next fly in the ointment was when I read the same article in a newspaper on the flight to Vancouver. The Paper had been published in Ottawa Canada. That meant the Canadian Customs would know I had an arrest warrant from China. I wasn't sure of their reaction so I booked another flight from Vancouver to New York. We would not have to clear customs in Canada and I figured I'd have no problems with US Customs. But it meant another 6 or 7 hour flight. The boys would be some wore out by the time we got to New York.
Customs in New York were very quick without a question about my boys or my reasons for coming to the US. I guess some animals are more equal than others. After sleeping for almost ten hours we all felt much better.
When I called to book an appointment with Harriman and Associates it was almost as if they knew I was coming. I was given a time of 10 AM the following day. As for my young gentlemen, food and sleep seemed to be on their minds.
IF I figured my visit to New York was going to quiet, that idea was shattered to smithereens when we stepped out of the hotel the next morning. At least a hundred reporters were waiting.
The first question fired at me made me smile.
"Are you going to kidnap any boys in New York?"
"Can I have your name and newspaper?" I said.
"Gary Smith, New York Times."
"Well Gary Smith, I'd be very careful what you say. You just might find your self along with your Newspaper added to my lawsuit against the National Post Enquirer."
"So it's true you are going to sue?"
"Yes and for more money than even you can dream of. Now if you will excuse me I have an appointment. I'm sure my Lawyers will be issuing a statement in due time."
We had to bull doze our way to the limo at the curb. Once inside I just told the driver to take us to Harriman and Associates. No one was waiting at their office tower.
We were quickly taken to the 25th floor and into a very plush conference room.
"There's coffee or juice on the side board Sir and if you have not had breakfast, it can be arranged."
"Thank you. We're fine and coffee is good."
"Mr. Harriman will be with you shortly."
I grabbed a cup of coffee and the boys grabbed juice. We sat down to wait.
"What's all this mean Father?" Gary asked.
I quickly explained what I was doing to the boys.
"Wow! A billion dollars. That's a lot of money."
The boys all laughed. I joined them.
Exactly 10 AM a short to my mind, grey haired gentleman walked into the conference room followed by several other gentlemen and a secretary carrying a lap top. He walked directly to me and put out his hand.
"Welcome to New York Mr. Somers. I'm Jed Harriman. These other gentlemen are my staff from here and Europe. The secretary will record all our conversations."
His hand shake was firm and he spoke with just a twinkle in his eye. I liked him at once.
"Now the reason you are here is already known. You wish to bring a law suit against the International Post Enquirer?"
"Actually, it is not me that is suing but the Sandpiper Family Corporation."
I explained everything about the Sandpiper and how it all came about.
"Have you decided on a figure?"
"I think you better sit down Mr. Harriman."
He just smiled.
I want to sue the parent company and each of the subsidiary companies 1 billion dollars each. I'll settle out of court for 100 million dollars and a printed retraction in every paper they publish. I also want Mamoo sued for 100 million dollars."
"Jesus Christ." He sat down.
"They want to smear my name and my Families name, their going to fucking well pay for it."
"Well first off, you should know the Chinese Government has withdrawn the warrant for your arrest. Some one very high up in the US Government made the request through our Embassy there. You do indeed have friends in high places." He chuckled.
I didn't comment and he didn't ask.
"From now on we will issue all statements regarding the lawsuit. We would prefer you just refer any questions you receive to us." "That's easy. I hate reporters."
"Now I know almost all about you and Sandpiper and how much you are worth, however I must ask for a retainer. The sum of a million dollars would initiate the lawsuit."
"Would you accept my check?"
"Indeed we would. Mr. Somers, we normally charge a ten percent fee, however considering the size of the amount you are suing for, we will be happy with 5 percent."
"The hell with that. If you pull it off, you will get ten percent. Money means nothing to me and I would spend every penny I have to defend Sandpiper and my Family."
"I thought as much, you have an unparallel reputation in several countries. It actually is an honor Sir to bring this lawsuit forward."
"So what are your plans after here Sir?"
"Can you just call me Ed. This Sir shit is for the birds."
"Fine Ed. Call me Jed. I think we will be having lots of conversations in the near future."
"My plans now are to head for Edmonton. In Canada. I want to help some of the boys living at an orphanage in Sri Lanka get a University Education. I have been told the University of Alberta is one of the best places to start."
"That we can use too Ed. Even while been sued you are still working to help under privileged boys. That will go a long way in courts over here."
"Well I'm only worried about the publicity. I don't want that orphanage inundated with reporters."
"I don't think you will have that problem once the lawsuit is announced. I suspect the International Post will be the one inundated with reporters." He chuckled.
"Do you have any idea where this Mamoo character is?"
"No. However I believe he was in Hong Kong. He is from South Africa."
"Not a problem. We will put our investigative arm on him. He will be served and considering you want the first lawsuit here he will have to appear here."
"Going to love to see his face."
"Well. That's about all we need Ed."
I handed Jed a check drawn on Credit Swiss for one million dollars.
"You need anymore Jed, let me know."
"I think this will do Ed. Enjoy your stay. We will be in touch."
We shook hands and then headed for our hotel. Surprisingly no one was waiting outside.
Someone was waiting inside.
"Mr. Somers."
I turned and looked. Then walked right up to him and put out my hand.
"Jerry Pratt. Associated Press. Good to see you again Jerry. I think you already met some of these boys?"
"Damn, you remember me?"
"Indeed Jerry, I think that's the second time I have shook your hand. Come on lets get a drink." I turned and headed for the bar.
After everyone was seated and had a drink.
"Okay Jerry. What's on your mind?"
"Well first, I don't think what was written in the Enquirer was even close to slander, so I don't think you can win your lawsuit."
"It was close enough for the Chinese Government to issue a warrant for my arrest. That makes it more than slander."
"Really, I didn't know that. Yes I could see where it might be slander, but you know the International Post is going to go all out to prove their case against you."
"I think Harriman and Associates are going to be going all out to disprove the allegations'."
"Can you tell me how much you are suing for?"
"Well you tell me how many subsidiary companies the International Post Enquirer has?"
"I'm not sure. I know they publish in thirty different languages. I'd say near thirty."
"Well I'm suing everyone of them for a billion dollars."
Jerry chocked on his drink and took a few minutes to compose himself.
"Jesus, thirty billion fucking dollars. You must be very sure your going to win."
"Yeah Jerry I am."
"Ask any of these five boys anything. Forced, not likely. I love each and everyone of my Family."
"And they love me."
"How much do you know about the Sandpiper Family Corporation?"
"Well I know you own Sandpiper and everyone else is a share holder."
"That's true, but, when the corporation was set up, I owned 51 percent of the shares. My late lover and Partner I gave him ten percent of my shares. Now Temin, Jer and Rad own five percent of my shares. My four Son's also own five percent. So now I own just 6 percent of the Sandpiper Corporation."
"I vote my shares with the majority."
"My late Partner Pakurr has more shares than I have, but his shares also vote with the majority. So how can anyone say I am forcing these boys to stay with Sandpiper?"
"They all own part of the company."
"And each and every one of them is a millionaire. Yet none want to leave."
"Are they forced to stay or do they want to stay. You tell me Jerry"
"Ed, I want to be totally honest with you. The first time Sandpiper got into the international news was when you supported a US Navy ship in Micronesia. Never before in history has a civilian ship supported any navy. I know civilian ships were armed to support the Navies of several countries in both World Wars, but they were considered auxiliaries to the country they were supporting. Sandpiper was not. Yet you took Sandpiper into a fight in support of a naval vessel."
"That brought Sandpiper into the eyes of a great many people world wide. It also made people wonder why an Armed Yacht registered in the US could sail with out any problems."
"I decided to find out. The US Navy wouldn't talk about you and Sandpiper only to say that you and your yacht had been awarded a battle Star. That I could not fathom either. Battle stars were only awarded ships that were either line ships of the navy or auxiliaries."
"Sandpiper is not and is not now an auxiliary or a line ship of The US Navy, yet they treat you as one."
So then I looked at Armed Yachts."
I was very surprised to find that almost a thousand yachts around the world are armed in some form or another. What surprised me more was that almost a hundred of those yachts were registered in the United States. So you and Sandpiper were not an anomaly. The only difference between Sandpiper and rest is you took your ship in harms way in support of a Navy Ship."
"Ed, I have been following you and Sandpiper around the world. I have seen pictures of Sandpiper at speed, and even have a great picture of Sandpiper coming down off foils at near 90 knots."
"Sandpiper is probably the best known yacht in the world. You may not want the accolades, but you have proved time and time again that Sandpiper will go where needed without hesitation. You proved that to me in Australia when you went after that crewman aboard the Maori."
"You said they needed help and your crew went. It wasn't you that ordered it, it was your crew."
"That to me makes you, Sandpiper and your crew Saints."
"Ed, I know you have been burned by that asshole Mamoo, by the way that's not his real name. His real name is Gary Washington. He's an ex-pat now living in South Africa. You might want to let your lawyers know that. Ed, I want to travel with you and find out who the real Ed Somers is and what Sandpiper really is."
"Hope you have a good expense account Jerry."
"We're leaving for Canada tomorrow."
"Is that a yes Ed?"
"Give me your cell phone number. I'll let you know what airline I'm on and will book your flight too."
We parted company and the boys and I retired to our suite.
I booked seven business class seats aboard Air Canada direct to Edmonton International Airport. I also booked two rooms at the MacDonald Hotel in downtown Edmonton along with a limo to get us into the city.
I called Harriman and told them about Mamoo.
Everyone opted for Prime rib for dinner and the hotel outdid themselves. Everyone enjoyed it. After showering we all hit the sack. I was very surprised when only Gary joined me in bed.
There is no doubt in my mind or any of the crew for that matter that Gary was the most experienced lover in the entire world. What he could do to you in bed you could rewrite all the books on love making.
"We tossed coins to see who would get you tonight and I won." Gary giggled.
"Well I am very happy you won Love."
Gary had taught the whole crew on the art of rimming. What he did with his tongue and teeth, could drive any man totally crazy. He started to prove that the moment he climbed into bed and on top of me. After giving me a long passionate kiss he started down my body. Kissing, nipping with his teeth and sucking every part he came in contact with. Even before he was half way down my body, I wreathing in total rapture at his ministrations. So much so he had only just got my cock in his mouth when I blew. After swallowing every drop, he slipped down my cock and lathered my balls with his tongue. Taking each one into his mouth he gently chewed and sucked them. After he pushed my legs up and dove onto my hole. My body jerked and shudder as his tongue worked on my hole. I couldn't believe I was almost ready to blow again before he slowly entered me. Although Gary wasn't even close to the biggest boy on Sandpiper, he sure knew how to use what he had. Almost every stroke brushed my prostrate sending wave after wave of pleasure to my brain. I did blow a second time. That tightened my hole on his cock and his hot spunk shot inside me. He collapsed on top of me.
"Damn you can wear an old man out Love."
"You're not old Ed. You're just perfect. Fuck me please Ed."
I rolled over and started the same way he had. He too blew as soon as my mouth engulfed his cock. His very sweet sperm almost made me come. After rimming his very sweet hole I slowly entered him. Gary preferred to get it hard and fast, but I preferred to prolong the love for as long as possible. Something the inside of Gary's ass made almost impossible. The muscles inside him massaged and squeezed my cock with every stroke. I used long slow strokes that drove him almost insane with lust. To keep his very verbal moans down I leaned over and kissed him as I screwed his wonderful ass. Kissing him drove him over the top and his third load blasted between us. His coming tightened his ass on my cock and I blew into his chute. That third load totally wasted me and I collapsed on top of him.
"God I love you Ed. More than anyone in the world." He said as tears streamed down his face.
"I love you too Gary. You and all the rest are always in my heart. And there will always be a place for you with me now and forever."
We cuddled together and drifted off to sleep.
After showering in the morning the rest of my motley crew ribbed us about waking up the whole floor with our noisy love making. A continental breakfast and we packed up. After checking out, we met Jerry and headed for our noon flight out of JFK.
Service aboard Air Canada was exemplary. Jerry spent the entire trip talking to two of the boys. I slept most of the way, still tired from my night with Gary. I had not really thought anything about customs in Canada until we landed. On the declaration card I had written I was carrying a lot of cash. More apparently than was allowed to be carried into Canada.
We were ushered to a desk in Customs.
"Can you tell me exactly how much cash you are carrying Mr. Somers and why?"
"To be honest, I don't know the exact figure, but I always carry cash to pay these boys."
"Why would you need to pay them?"
"They are part of my crew on Sandpiper."
"What is Sandpiper?" She asked.
Oh wow. I thought everyone knew what Sandpiper was.
"Sandpiper is my yacht. She's some where in the South Pacific at the moment."
I'm sorry Sir. I don't understand. You say you carry cash to pay your crew of your yacht that is some place in the south Pacific, but you don't know where. It is parked some place in mid ocean?"
That got a laugh from me and all the boys.
"No, this is part of my crew. The rest are on Sandpiper. She is enroute from Australia to an Island in the Marshall Islands chain. Where exactly she is at the moment I don't know, but could find out if you need to know."
"No that is not necessary. Could you wait a moment while I get my supervisor?"
She came back with a much older man.
"How much cash are you carrying exactly. Any amount over 10,000 dollars must be declared." He said.
"Well I guess we need to count it." I opened my brief case and started stacking wads of bills on the counter. I had near 15,000 dollars in Australian Dollars, 8,000 dollars in Hong Kong dollars, 12,000 in US funds and about 3,000 in other countries money. Total amounted to near 50,000 dollars Canadian.
"Quite a tidy sum Mr. Somers. You need this much to pay these five boys"
"No. But I always carry cash to pay for everything they want to buy. I also prefer to pay cash for our hotel and other sundry items."
"You wrote on your declaration form you were carrying 10,000 dollars plus. The plus is near 40,000 dollars. It is very unusual for anyone to carry that amount of cash and the Canadian Government wants to know how you came about to be carrying so much and where it came from."
"When I let loose those five boys loose in any mall in the world, they'll spend that 50,000 and more if I let them." I laughed.
As to where it came from, I would have to say my bank account. There's another half a billion if I need it."
That got his attention.
"Why are you visiting Canada and how long do you plan to stay."
"Some business and some pleasure. I want to talk to someone in your Immigration Department and the U of A. After I plan on taking these five skiing before we fly back to Sandpiper."
"I don't think we have problem with you carrying this amount of Cash Mr. Somers. How long do you plan to stay in Canada?"
"About ten days."
"Good. These visitor visas are good for two weeks. Enjoy your stay Mr. Somers." He stamped all our passports and slipped a visa in each one. We were good to go. We met Jerry outside and I quickly explained to him what the hold up was. We got into our limo and headed into Edmonton. All the boys were glad we had on long pants and sweaters. It was only about 50 F outside.
I had read quite a bit about Edmonton when I was researching the Universities. It was a really nice looking city as we approached it from the South. It was one of the largest cities in the world this far North and was also the seat of the Government of Alberta. Edmonton had a river running through the center of it. As we approached this river, I could see almost all the building were on the heights above the valley. The valley along the river appeared to have only a few housing in the wider parts of the valley. Snow still covered much of the river valley and river appeared to be frozen over.
I had read about the MacDonald Hotel too. It had been built almost a hundred years ago and had recently been renovated. Approaching from the south it could have been transplanted out of France. It looked like a chateau, you could find in many parts of France. It sat right on the river valley over shadowed by high rise office towers around it.
When we arrived at the hotel four boys rushed to open our door and load our luggage. Inside were all polished marble and hardwood.
"I have a reservation for two rooms. My name is Somers."
"Yes Mr. Somers. We have two rooms for you. One is a suite and the other is across the hall a single."
"You can bill them all to my suite please."
"As you wish Sir. Take Mr. Somers and Mr. Pratt to 501 and 510." He handed a key card to the bellhop.
"Do you have extra cards for the boys?" I asked. Ten seconds later I had five additional keys in my hand.
When I turned to follow the bellhop I saw our luggage had already disappeared. He led us to an elevator. Dam it even had an operator.
"Five." The bellhop said.
Even though the elevator looked like something out of the mid 1920's, it had obviously been updated. I rose smoothly to the fifth floor. Two more bell hops were waiting with our luggage.
The Bellhop with our keys opened my suite first and then Jerry's. When I walked in I thought I could have been back in France at one of those chateaus. The bellhop quickly turned on lights and lit the gas fire place. I saw deep leather chairs and couches. A table with four chairs sat near floor to ceiling windows. A small bar with a very modern refrigerator was on one side of the living room. Two doors, one on each side of the Living room I presumed were bedrooms.
The two bellhops quickly unloaded our luggage. I was pretty sure they knew we were either Gay or Bi. Two bedrooms for five made it pretty obvious. No one said anything.
I handed each boy a ten dollar US tip.
"Room service is one on the phone Sir. The Valet assigned this floor is two. Outside phone is zero and then the number Sir. You must precede each call with the Area code here which is 780. If you need anything the Valet will get it for you. Your bedrooms are on each side Sir. Both have their own bathroom."
"Thank you. We're fine for now."
They left quickly and closed the door.
"Wow. That Negro boy was hot." Bobby said.
"Is that all you think about? Sex!" I laughed.
"Well he was." Bobby said his eyes down cast.
"Hey love. It's okay." I pulled him into my arms.
Before I could say anything someone knocked on the door. Gary answered it and Jerry walked in.
"This place is fantastic. You need not pay for my suite Ed. I'm on an expense account."
"Get used to it Jerry. You travel with me your on my tab. Something to drink?"
"Okay, yeah bourbon if you have it."
"How anyone can drink bourbon is beyond me, but okay lets see,"
I looked in the small refrigerator. Many small, maybe two ounce bottles were there.
"Hmmm. Jack Daniels okay? Can't see any bourbon."
"Jack Daniels is fine."
I pulled out the Jack Daniels and a small bottle of scotch. This would not work for me. I poured the small bottles into glasses, added ice and handed Jerry his drink. Then I walked to the phone, picked it up and dialed room service.
"Can you send me up a 26 ounce bottle of single malt scotch and another of bourbon? If no bourbon Jack Daniels would do." "Better get more beer too Dad. There's only six in here." Temin said.
"Also send up 24 cold beers. Any brand will do as long as they are cold. This suite 501."
I hung up and sat down.
"So Ed. You said you want to visit the Immigration Department and the U of A. What's that about?"
Before I could answer someone knocked at out door. Bobby bounced out of his chair and answered the door. The Negro boy who had helped us with our luggage wheeled in a cart.
"Come on I'll help you Harold." Bobby said.
I noticed all the boys had quickly changed from long pants into very snug shorts and from the looks, they weren't wearing underwear either. It was not lost on the bellhop either.
Both went behind the bar to put the booze away.
"I presume you already know I am supporting an orphanage in Sri Lanka. Several of the boys there want to get a better education than they can in India or their own country. I want to see if I can get them into a University here in Canada."
"Lately there has been a moratorium on student or even immigration from Sri Lanka after that incident with the Tamil refugees arriving off the BC coast."
Jerry I saw had been typing furiously on his lap top as I talked.
"So you're going to see if you cut some of the red tape and get them here?" "Yes. They say money talks and I have lots to spend." I laughed.
"Can you tell me what Sandpiper Family Corporation is worth Ed?"
"I don't know exactly. You'd have to talk to Jason. He's on Sandpiper and is the man that controls the money. I can tell you what my line of credit is with Credit Swiss. That's near a billion dollars."
"Jesus, you really are rich."
"Well my personal holdings amount to about 40 million Euros."
Bobby and the bellhop were taking a long time to put away the beer and alcohol. Finally both boys stood up. Both were pretty plumped up.
"How much tip should I add Father?" Bobby asked me.
When Bobby called me Father, the Negro boys eyes got very large and he looked scared. Bobby jumped right back in.
"He's not really my Dad. He's the head of the Sandpiper Family Corporation so we call him that sometimes."
The bell hop visibly relaxed.
"Add 15 percent Bobby."
Bobby calculated it out and then signed the chit.
"Thank you Sir." Harold said.
"I'm not a Sir. I'm Bobby. That's Temin, Rad and Jer sitting on the couch. That's Gary, my brother over on the chair."
"Thank you all." He said. Bobby let him out.
"So Bobby. Been in the hotel less than hour and already made your first conquest?" I laughed.
"No not really. He said he can't fraternize with the guests. He said he would show us around town tomorrow. He is going to meet us at the Library at 10 AM."
"Okay Son."
I got up and grabbed the bottle of Scotch and the Jack Daniels along with a bucket of ice and sat down. Jerry opened the Jack Daniels and splashed some in his glass with ice.
I looked at the Scotch. Twenty year old single malt called The Glenlivit. Not a brand I had had before. I splashed some in my glass, added ice and took a sip. Not bad, better than the crap that was in the small bottle I had had first.
"So where was I?"
"Oh yeah. After I see what the Immigration Department has to say, I'll talk to the U of A. I'm planning on setting up an endowment fund to cover the expenses of any students that want to come here to go to University."
"That's very generous of you Ed."
"You are not worried about the charges against you?"
"Not really Jerry. The National Post Enquirer has lost most of the suits that have been brought against them and usually settle out of court."
"I'm sure they have never encountered one as big." I chuckled.
I saw the boys looking at menus, so I knew what was on their minds.
"You can order for all of us Temin."
"Okay Ed."
Jerry stayed for dinner then excused himself. I knew I needed sleep, but was sure I'd get very little. Surprisingly all we did was a daisy chain of sucking before my three lovers curled up next to me to sleep. A real nice desert.
We looked at a map of downtown as we ate a light breakfast. I was happy to note that everything but the U of A was within walking distance of the hotel. The Library was next to a square called Churchill Square. The City hall was close as well as the federal building. A mall was close too, which would draw my boys like bees to honey.
Jerry said he'd be away to send in a couple of stories he had been writing.
We all dressed warmly. It was only about 0 F outside. I gave the boys each a thousand dollars to spend. Figured that would hold them for a day.
It really was nippy outside.
TBC.
