The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-53 CGW©

Zach had Madison working overtime he knew it was his normal day off but this was something that needed to be done, young man please take me back over to the Hawthorne ranch to the Williams residence once again and I believe that were going to be through for a while so you will take the rest of the day off and I can go to my office and work till the wee hours of the morning.

Mr. Zack, I don't mean to tell you anything about what you do but you push yourself too hard you need to back off and slow down take a little time for yourself. I'm not an idiot and I'm not a child I can see things are not right at home in your spending as much time away from your problems as you can, but it won't solve anything sometimes you have to let people go and get back to the life that you really want. I see the way you look at him I look at Benjamin the same way, he's my everything if I had to stay away from him it would kill me.

Madison, just keep it under your hat. I appreciate what you said and you are 100% correct. Harry and I need to sit down and discuss the future so that he and the kids can be happy and I can be happy. I love my family and I admire Harry but he's not my first and true love.

Just to clue you in Mr. Zack, there's no peace and quiet in paradise for the other person either they don't even hardly talk anymore in fact the other one, he's been looking at someone else. He respects his mate but he's not in love with him at all it was more like a long heat cycle. But don't kill the messenger I'm only telling you what I know, and you'd be a damn fool if you pass the opportunity up for a lifetime of happiness.

Okay you said your piece now let's go to the Hawthorne ranch and go to the Williams home so I can get this done. I might take a couple days off and go to the back into Robbie's old home just to get away from everything and think.

Sounds like the best idea to me Mr. Zach get away from everyone and everything all the stresses let Tim and Luther mind the store while you take a little break. Besides they need to get used to it one day this all the theirs. Madison put the speeder in forward and took off for the Hawthorne ranch.

Zack got out of the speeder after they pulled up and parked, Madison remained behind out of respect for all involved. Zack knocked on the door which was answered by Derek.

Wow; for what do we owe this visit Mr. Zack?

I got some paperwork to drop off and I need a couple of signatures from you and Daniel, I'll explain everything on the inside out of prying eyes and prying ears.

Derek and Daniel took up seat at the table and Zack set across from them. I came back today to have you sign some paperwork, there is an endowment been made in your names. There's a spot of land that is being repurposed, after the Z1 completes the housing allotments medical clinic and starts on the groundwork the signs will go up on the property. The rest of the property does not utilize for housing and outbuildings will be placed in the form use so it can be productive in feeding indigent and less fortunate Genmen, hybrids and humans. The facility will be named; the Derek and Daniel Williams Retirement Center for Aged Genmen. The two of you will be required to attend a groundbreaking ceremony but the day-to-day operations will be handled by a committee here on the Z1 since we are the administrating trust. You do not own anything it has been named in honor of you by the owner.

Derek was the first one to speak; through a shaky voice he inquired, may I be honored to know who the person or persons were that made this endowment Sir?

At this time the person or persons wishes to remain anonymous and I can tell you right now you can look up on every record in every computer and you will never snoop enough to find out who it was so Daniel if you think you're smart don't even think about doing that because that would piss the individuals off that did this and the honor of you two. Consider yourself blessed beyond your wildest imaginations. The total acreage that will be under the umbrella of the center is 2500 acres.

Mr. Zack, I know I always haven't made the wisest choices when it comes to things but I will heat your warnings and I will not attempt anything other than to be blessed. May I ask where the location of the property might be.

Sure; that's easy, it's the old farm the child came from it was closed down and seized and awarded to a recipient who then made a trust out of it. There's four members of the trust; myself, Ed and Carter Hawthorne and Jake Traylor. I'll be touching base with the two of you during the development and sketching out of the center itself, there be exercise centers for residents, medical facilities, an entertainment center along with floral gardens, pathways and personal garden spaces for those who wish to keep active and to grow a small portion of vegetables for their own self in addition to what they receive from the main farm.

Mr. Zack, I don't know what we ever did to deserve anything like this just the honor is unbelievable but the fact that someone would think of us that means more to both of us then we can ever say please relay our debt and gratitude and I hope that we can to their expectations.

Daniel cleared his throat; I concur with my husband this is more than any thrown away genman could ever expect in life. I was 16 when I came to live on the farm there were 10 of us that day.

Daniel you don't have to tell it that you do not need to bring up any more you need to put it behind.

Derek Mr. Zack needs to know this he needs to know where you got your scar from and why that happened to your face, we've never told our boys anything about our past because we wished to hide that from them. And it killed my soul to see my boys have to go into those rooms but that's the way he did things.

As I was saying Mr. Zack, there were 10 of us that came in that day together, we were told to strip naked out in the open. We were all checked from head to toe, measured and every part of our bodies was inspected by the farm boss. When he was satisfied, he walked behind me and he placed his hand on my vent and told me to come with him he wanted to show me something and I was going to like it eventually.

As a young genman you do not disobey the farm boss who is in charge. He took me to his quarters and made me stand beside the bed he removed all of his clothing and he pushed me over on my stomach. He inserted his finger into my vent and roughly spread it open what happened next to me I can only describe it as my whole world being ripped into just like my body had been. After a while he stopped and he rolled off of me I looked toward his direction and I realized that he had a condom on. He never put his seed inside of me he said he was saving me for a special day.

When I was 22 Derek came to live on the farm, he was the most beautiful Genmen I had ever seen. And when I came in to my cycle, I offered myself to him and him alone so that maybe the farm boss wouldn't be up on top of me every night doing what he wished.

When it was discovered that I was three months along with child and that child was Titan the farm boss took a whip and beat me for allow myself to lay with a pure blood and carry his child. He was about to kick me and my stomach when Derek intervened and shoved the farm boss backwards to protect me and our child. This infuriated the farm boss and he took his whip out and struck Derek in the face causing the cut that formed and that ugly scar. That scar signifies something else to me it proves to be how much he loves me and how far he would go to protect me and our children. When I needed help birthing Titan the farm boss denied us and he suffered. As the babies came along, we went on to live our life to keep them off of the boys when they come in time, I did something I'm never proud of made myself available to the farm boss once again and I made him promise if I did this region would never know the indignity of being bred on that farm, he would go to a quality farm such as the Z1 where he was sent to birth the child for some reason the farm boss agreed to this, I don't know to this day why he that my youngest go. He always said my family would pay. I guess that's why I'm so overprotective I never wanted them to go to the humiliation that I had to go through.

I appreciate what you told me to it explains a lot about the way you are, this is one story you must tell your children. It will heal new wounds and old ones and will set your family on the correct path but if you do nothing your family will fracture and be divided forever.

Just let me know and I'll have the boys in my office in the main house they will have no choice but to show up and to listen to your story so that they can understand you better and maybe you can understand them. I did you goodbye, so that you can be together.

Zack walked back out to the speeder and took a seat, Madison after what I've heard I need a few days off I need to make some decisions about my life. When it's time I need you to carry me to the back cabin I won't have a communicator with me for any problems and I don't want anybody coming back here unless it's a dire emergency I need to be by myself.

Yes or Mr. Z I'll carry you back to the main house that way you can notify Tim and Luther that you're taking a few days off and they need to handle any and everything unless it's a life-or-death emergency. For what it's worth Sir you're doing the right thing. Madison took off for the main ranch.

Upon arrival Zach went to his office and closed the door Madison stood guard outside is Zack made a few phone calls. One was to add and Carter Hawthorne living them know that he be gone for a few days and out of contact someone would be around to run the daily operations but if there was an emergency there was also someone who knew how to contact him. The next phone call was to Jake Traylor telling him to hold down the fort he was going on walkabout. He rang upstairs to Harry and asked Harry to come down to the office they need to talk and it was very important.

When Harry come down the staircase, he saw Madison standing in from the doorway with his arms crossed so he knew it was very important. Madison let him enter the office and closed the door behind him then stood guard.

After about 30 minutes the door opened and a red eye Harry upstairs. Within 10 minutes he came down with the boys and their luggage and walked out the front door. He took Zack's personal speeder and drove off the Z1.

Madison looked in and asked Mr. Zack if he was okay?

Yes, I am and he's not going far he's just going to take the largest Suite at the hotel for a while that way him and the boys can have a place to stay until subdivision 2 has their house ready.

Madison; This is a letter right here that I hold in my hand you are required after you drop me off in the back to take this directly to hoods addressed and give it to who is addressed have him read it in your presence that way, he can make his decision. Now do me another favor drive over to Tim and to Luther's house and tell them to get to my office right this damn minute.

Madison closed the door on his way out, the first stop was at Tim's, Sir I am on a mission for your father I am to pick up you and your brother and I need both the you go right back to the main house to your father's office as he said right this damn minute. I cannot discuss with you what is going on but you need to report to your father.

Tim dropped the hammer that he had in his hand does it off his clothes and told Madison I'm ready to go, let's get Luther.

Madison pulled up at Luther's house and before he could shut off the speeder Tim was halfway up the sidewalk headed to the house. He pounded on the door and Luther answered. He was unaware what was said but both of them returned to the speeder.

Madison put the speeder in reverse backed up put it in forward gear and put it at full throttle. There were quite a few people surprised when they saw Madison driving like he was headed to the main house with Tim and Luther Spinelli in the vehicle.

Before Madison could even stop the vehicle as it slid to a halt Tim and Luther were out of the vehicle running into the front door the poor doorman was knocked flat as it swung open and both boys made a beeline to their father's office. Tim was the first one in and they both stood side-by-side as they saw their father sitting behind his desk doing paperwork.

Have a seat boys, I'll be with you in a minute I need to talk to the both of you.

Madison closed the office door and stood guard once more.

Zack put the pen down, I guess you are wondering why I asked you here in this such a manner. And it's about time you found out. Harry is gone I released him from his obligations to me, he's taken the boys and he will be moving into a home in section 2 in the new subdivision with them. But that's no concern of yours is just information you needed to know; I'm leaving the Z1.

I need a break from everything and I'm turning the day-to-day operations over to the both of you, my sons my proudest accomplishments in life. I'm not leaving forever just for a short stay away from this place. I expect the two you to cooperate and use your common sense that you have been blessed with and your educations in life for the day-to-day running of this ranch any major decisions will require a quorum and that entails the two of you Ed and Carter Hawthorne along with Jake Traylor there's a lot of things that I need to work out in my personal life, a lot of pain and heartache this been over the years that I have buried it's time to quit living like it doesn't exist the only person that knows where I'll be is young Madison I will have no means of communication so if something goes wrong and I mean life or death I don't care if the dam main house burns down as long as nobodies hurt I will have no contact with anyone as I re-examine my life I've been here since I was 10 years old I've run this place since I was 15 and I believe I've done a damned good job of it but your father needs a rest.

Both boys stood there with their mouths open at the announcement that their father had just made, Jarvis has my luggage packed and its setting at the bottom of the staircase, would you do me a favor by placing it in Madison speeder Harry took mine. But that's okay he can have it I'll get a new one, I don't give a damn he needs it with the kids anyhow.

And don't worry about trying to track me there is no tracking device or GPS systems on Madison's speeder I've Artie taken care of that by cutting every wire so you will not think you're smarter than I am and track us and you will not threaten him in any form or fashion to give up where he takes me or I will come back here and I'll whip your big asses you may be bigger than me but I'm your father and dammit I deserve respect thereof.

No Sir responded Tim, neither one of us would dare attempt to track you you've always showed us dignity and respect and honor and we will show you the exact same thing but I need to ask one thing or you don't let dad know.

No, I'm not going tell him anything he has enough problems in his own his house is on quicksand also and its only time before it comes tumbling down. I do not want to burden him with anything and I'm not telling you anything for that reason because I don't want him looking for me, he needs to take care of his own house.

Now boys keep the nose is dry and she ends up I'm leaving I love you but give me my space. After that Zach walked out.

Both boys want to run after their father but they respected him too much to act like a couple of adolescent crybabies.

From the window they watched the gates of the Z1 open and Madison turned the buggy to the left and he left with Zack on board.

Tim why did they turn left there's nothing out that way nothing for miles and miles nothing but desert and cactuses it doesn't make sense he should return to the right and went back to the Township or even the city what the hell is father doing.

Luther, I have no idea where they're headed but no one father he has a plan he's Artie got something up his sleeve just let it play out this is not a game to him this is his life this place is his accomplishment in life and so are we.

About that time the door to the office burst open and Ben came running in. Where is Zach, where the hell is, he at.

Tim step forward; he's gone Dad he left the Z1. We have no idea where he went to or how long he's going be gone but he left, Madison drove off with him in his speeder and they turned left going out to nowhere. Tim had to catch Ben as he collapsed and began to sob.

Luther came to comfort his dad also.

I'm such a damn fool, I was so stupid so many years ago, fuck the laws. He was my first and he's my only love. After you were born Luther, we had to hide my feelings for each other I thought I was doing the right thing and made a stupid mistake and let someone breed me, as the rules changed we tried to get back together and we conceived again but your brother was not meant to be in the matter what you think it was just nature and my body rejected the baby. You blamed yourself you struck out every body and everything and we sent you a way we thought we were doing the right thing but it tore us further apart.

I was stupid and put myself into the breeding program and I popped out kids left and right, I love all my children that are with their fathers on the different farms but the only one I ever wanted was Zachary Spinelli. He's the only love I will ever have and now he is gone, he left.

Luther looked at Ben, dad what about Claude?

It's over and his been over for a while we been staying together because of the boys but he's already found him a younger genman to fuck him. There just waiting until they can have a child of their own and then Claude is gone. He can keep the house for him and the boys and he can move his new hard Dick stud in with him. I'm finished, I'm retiring no more kids. There's only one that I've ever open my vent for again and he's gone.

What about Harry and the boys were they at now that he's gone?

Tim spoke up; Harry and the boys went into town there staying at the hotel until their new home is ready in phase 2 of the new housing section. Father and him have just been playing house because of the boys they going sleep in the same bedroom together anymore they make a big deal of show but father sets out the side door and sleeps in the spare bedroom in his own home.

Tim can you take me to your father sleeps I need to see it and I need to feel his presence.

Yes, dad I'll take you up to the spare room he uses, I'll leave you up there so that you can collect your thoughts as long as you promise you won't do anything stupid.

You don't have to worry about me all my stupid things were done when I was young and dumb. I just need to be near her he was.

The boys carried their dad upstairs to the spare room at the end of the hall, Ben walked into the room and walked over to the bed that was still unmade.

Ben gently brushed his hand across the pillow that still had Zach's indention from where he laid. Then been set down and laid on the bed in the same position as the sheets were rumpled and he began to cry. The boys decided that it was best if Ben remained where he was so he could consult his own self because there was nothing they could do; his heart was breaking into 1 million pieces.

They both went downstairs and went back to Zach's office. Both boys were sitting in the office wondering what to do when Benjamin and Mason showed up support them.

Benjamin spoke up first; we're here to support you because we love and believe in the both of you neither one of us know exactly what went on but we know Mr. Zack is gone and your dad is upstairs everybody on the ranch can hear him squall.

Both young men went to their mates and set with them and consoled them as the Spinelli family was facing a situation that they had never seen before.

Five hours later Madison drove into the Z1's gates and headed to the main house. Madison went to the office and asked Tim if he knew where his dad was?

Yes; Madison he's upstairs in the spare bedroom why what is up.

Respectfully Tim I am following orders and I'm not allowed to tell you or anybody anything else other than what I've been instructed I wish I could but I will not betray your father's confidence I need to see your dad where is Mr. Ben.

Second floor down the hallway bedroom only end but he's not been any kind of shape to see anyone.

You'll see me I have important information for him and only him so please do not come to the door and listen I don't want to betray your father and his orders.

Luther spoke up; don't worry about it, Madison we will never listen to any conversation that is meant for private audience only, if you have information concerning our father for our dad please go give it to him, and thank you for being such a wonderful confidant to our father, I know he relies on you so much.

Madison went to the door and gently knocked on it, a shaky voice from the other side told him to come on in.

Ben tried his best to dry his eyes when he realized it wasn't one of the boys. Yes, Madison how can I help you is he okay. Madison closed the door and walked him inside.

Sir; I have a delivery for you and I'm under strict instructions that it's for your eyes only and no one else will ever know what is said in the letter. If you do not feel that you can keep this confidence of Mr. Zack's has said not to give it to you.

It's a letter from Zach to me, questioned Ben.

Yes; Sir it's a very personal and private letter addressed to you from Mr. Zack, I can walk out of the room if you do not wish to read my presence.

No that's okay because I'm going need some help, I don't think I can get through it without someone else.

Ben shakily took the letter from Madison and attempted to open it, but he was shaking too hard.

Madison opened the envelope and removed the letter and opened it so that Ben could see it.

My dearest Ben, my one and only true love. I take this pen in hand and write to you the deepest desires in my heart. I have loved you ever since the big storm during your transition and is our dear Luther was conceived, we strayed one time and came back but that was short-lived when we lost the baby. You are yourself into your work when Luther was sent away. We both lived in our own prisons in our own minds. When Timothy came into our lives you agreed to be his dad and accept them into our lives as our adopted son. Time has come and gone children have come and gone but there is one thing that has never left my heart and that is my love for you. There is only one person that knows where I am and that I'm waiting for the one and only that I love. If you wish to join me please look at the young man in front of you and tell him that you wish him to bring us together. I might not be back for a while, so if you do not feel the same way that I feel about you I will understand and we can both live our lives separately. Your one and only love Zachariah Spinelli.

In clutched the letter to his chest and he looked at Madison. I know it will be Sunday but if you don't mind tomorrow morning will you please take me to him and keep his secret. Never tell anybody where we're at we will get a hold of you when were ready to return by then I hope that I'm carrying for my one and only love once again.

Yes sir, Mr. Ben I will come by and pick you up at 8 AM so that you can get a good night's rest because it's a long hard trip to where he is. Keep the letter with you at all times Sir never let it out of your sight and no one will get a word out of me. All they would know is that you all are both missing by intent and design. Now I'll leave you here so that you can get your thoughts together and I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Ben decided to leave the room and went downstairs with Madison and bid the young man goodbye. He returned to Zach's office where he confronted his two sons, put a bulletin out to all of the attendants of the current class for Basics in Breeding 101; Due to personal matters classes are now put-on hold until further notice and sign it Ben.

Luther was the first one to speak; dad what's going on with you?

Ben looked at his son actually looked at both of them; sometimes boys it's adult business and personally it's none of your damn business. I have a life and I'm going to discover it. I'm going back upstairs and I'm going to take a little bit of time for myself. I have a few calls that I have to make and that is none of your business. Ben turned around left the office with both boy's mouths standing wide open.

Ben picked up his phone when he arrived back at the room and he dialed his home number to speak to Claude.

Claude into the phone and asked Ben what did he need this time.

Honestly, I don't need a damn thing, but I'm going to tell you something. You don't love me you were infatuated with me I was your first, when you realized I was older and set in my ways you really didn't want anything else to do with me. You don't want to give up your vent to me because that belongs to someone else now. Don't think I don't know about you slip around behind our home and our family and taken a good pounding from that nice-looking young man. I don't blame you if you love him because I know you damned well don't love me and I don't love you either we were just comfort for each other while it lasted. The house belongs to you and the boys you can send my possessions over to the main house and when I get back, I'll pick them up. Tell the kids that I love them and that when I get back, they can come see me anytime. But Claude please for once in your life be true to yourself, go get that young man and bring him home. And I wish the two of you have a long and prosperous life and a house full of kids.

Ben are you okay, you really mean what you're saying?

Yes, Claude I do and if you don't call that young man up I will. And can you imagine the embarrassment on his face when I tell him that I know that he's been screwing my mate behind my back. I release you from any obligation, I will always love the boys and they will be mine there's no doubt the two oldest ones that I did birth and the other one that I fathered by the Russian either can stay with you and their brothers or they could come stay with me and be split up that is a choice that you will have to make but I will make time to see my boys do you understand that.

Ben, the boys can stay with me so they are all together and I will tell them that you love them, thank you very much for everything that you have given me the twins and our other sons are my life and I do know that you love them but even I sensed that you were unhappy for a long time. I hope you find who and what you're looking for and I'll see you when you get back.

Ben placed the communicator on the nightstand and picked up a dirty shirt that belonged to Zach and he brought it to his face and held it close to his chest. And he drifted off to sleep.

Jarvis brought a tray up to the room for Ben, it was a light snack of soup and sandwiches. Ben set up in the bed as Jarvis put the tray in front of him. It's good to have you back in the main house Sir his been far too long since you have graced the halls of this home.

Thank you, Jarvis but I'm not back yet, Zach and I have to work out a lot of differences first before I ever take up residence here again.

Well let's hope that the two of you can patch it up not meaning to speak ill will of others Harry was okay but he was a demanding bitch. I've been here too long not to be able to speak up sometimes I've always been part of the Spinelli family and always included. But with Harry he made me feel like I was less than. My prayers are for the two of you.

Thank you very much Jarvis; you know that you will always be a valued member of the Spinelli family. Because at the Z1 everyone his family and we are all worthy of each other. Sometimes some people need to be reminded of it.

Jarvis departed the room.

At the bottom of the stairs Tim met Jarvis. Thank you for all that you do for this family and remember that you are a valued member of this family and this household if anyone treat you with disrespect let me or Luther handle and believe me it will not happen again. I know that Harry treated you like shit, took you for granted and was a generalized bitch toward you wife father let it go on I'll never know but it will be spoken about when he returns.

Master Tim, I have known you since you walked up to that front door on that wet the night when your father first took you in his arms and brought you into this home and showed you all the love any father could. Don't blame your father because when he was around Mr. Harry acted totally different.

Jarvis just how long have you been in employment here at the Z1.

I had been on the job a week when the doorbell rang one dark stormy night and a small scrawny half-starved dark headed boy showed up at the front door wrapped in an oversized jacket with a sloppy hat. The old Master took him in and raised the little street urchin as his own and the boy turned 15 the old master passed away and Mr. Zachary became Lord of the Manor and owner of the Z1. And the rest you know is history.

Jarvis you've always waited on us hand and foot 24/7 didn't you ever have a family of your own?

Master Tim you kids are my family along with Mr. Zack and Mr. Ben, some things weren't meant for other people, but I had all of you as my family. I'm old in years now but at one time I had somebody and we had a fine little boy, but one day he left and took the boy with him. I fell into deep despair in the old master took me in and set me up as the head of the staff of this home and have stayed here ever since because I have a room here that belongs to me and a roof over my head loving people about, so I would guess you are my family. Now I need to get back to work now it's enough time spent reminiscent this place won't stay running by itself.

Luther was listing from the office door to the entire conversation, and what Jarvis said broke his heart. He needed to find someone and it would take everyone's attention to make it happen. And he decided to get a hold of Lex if anyone could find a DNA match on the planet it would be Lex and Chris.

Luther got a hold of his Lex and told him and Chris to report to the main house Mr. Zack's office they were needed immediately if they did have childcare bring the boy with them.

Lex come waddling in the head of Chris who was toting Christopher Zachariah Benjamin Ryman. The boy was a handful that was for sure. Okay dad we're here what is so important that it could not wait until Monday.

Lex set out in your condition I know your about ready to drop that boy any day now so I need you to do this before you go into labor. I need to find someone through DNA crossmatch. It's an old Spinelli farm resident if he or any of his descendants are still around, we need to locate them. All I have is a DNA match of the original father of that child, I have seen a photo of the parents and child right before he was removed from this ranch at the approximate age of 12. The father has had no contact with his son since your grandfather was 10 years old so were really reaching here and we need all of the contacts and all of the information that you two could possibly dig up.

Dad why is so important, you're talking about something that happened 26-27 years ago, what's the big rush what can it wait till Monday.

Because Lex I said so number one and number two none of us are getting any younger.

You do know that I have to clear through grandfather, this is a lot of expense and it may be for nothing.

Number one there's been a development, your grandfather is no longer here Tim and I are running the ranch at this time for grandfather under his direction. And number two I'm your dad and I told you to run it expense be damned I'll pull out my personal account if I have to. So, don't question me anymore just do it, and failure is not an option. Lex you know I love you but sometimes you can be hardheaded you get that from your grandfather and your granddad and me.

Gee lucky me I get a three-way dose of it; I will go to the clinic and I will pull the file up on my computer is soon as you send me who it is and all we can do is wait.

Luther went to the spare terminal and typed out all the information and attached all the files that was pertinent to the search that Lex needed to do. He pushed send on the computer.

Okay it sent all the information that I have including a scanned copy of the original photo is at your disposal do not contact the person if he is located. I will go to the location when it's found and I will present the evidence that I have to him. But first let me get my grandbaby I want to give him some sugars, Luther went over and grabbed his grandson and kissed him all over the place.

Chris had an idea, why don't we leave the little one with his granddaddy and great uncle Tim so that we can get a little work done an was given here, they get to visit and babysit.

Tim looked over sounds good to me, go ahead, goodbye, leave, take a powder, shaggy your ass what-ever but just get your work done.

Zack took around the cabin and wondered if Ben had received his letter as of yet and if he had how did he react. He couldn't understand how Robbie could've lived out here by himself with that baby all the way away from everyone, it was so quiet it was almost deafening except for the occasional rackknar that howled out. He remembered what Robbie said about closing down the window covers at night and shutting the front door off because of a few critters that were even larger and meaner than a wild rackknar.

Chris was little surprised when Lex open the file up was sent to him it was on Jarvis, it wasn't until they both got to reading about Jarvis that they realized why this was so important to do. Jarvis's name was on the birth certificate along with the dad's name Tobias one male child born by the name of Maximilian last name was listed as Spinelli born at the Spinelli place. The child was born two years before Zach had arrived at the age of 10. In fact, in the files, it said that Tobias removed Maximilian from the farm two days before Zach had arrived. So, they had a date and a year when the incident happened and according to the old report another Genmen left with Tobias his name was Roderick. So, they started cross matching any children born to Tobias and Roderick within 10 minutes they had three hits. Maximilian could not be located under any records but when Lex decided to shorten the name to Max it popped up and in an updated birth certificate it listed Max's birth father as Roderick.

Chris started printing out all of the information that they were gathering, first was a picture of Tobias and Max together. Then another one of Roderick by himself finally there was one with Tobias and Roderick together with an infant and Max. Chris also print out the original birth certificate for Maximilian and altered birth certificate. When they put the information for Max Wilson born on the date and time listed on his birth certificate all the information started just as spewing out of the system. Max Wilson a.k.a. Maximilian Spinelli was with a mate by the name of Jericho and they had 15 children both were still alive and living on the Wilson ranch six hours away from the Z1.

Chris hit another file which brought the picture that was of Tobias and Jarvis along with Maximilian their son it was the same one of Tobias and Max only the picture had been torn in such a manner that he arranged Jarvis out of Max's life. The two hurriedly got all the information together so that they can get it back to Luther and Tim, by now Chris imagined that the little rug rat is about to tear up the office.

Chris and Lex walked into the office with all of their newfound information and were pleasantly surprised to find little C setting in his uncle Tim's lap coloring a piece of paper on his great-grandfather's desk. Chris looked over at Lex and whispered, that they give the kid tranquilizers what, he's never that good for us.

Lex handed the stack of paperwork with all the confirmation reports to his dad.

That's fantastic you two do wonderful work and I do thank you for the time that I've spent with my beautiful grandson he is as Angel for us at least.

Chris gave a brief synopsis of the report that they found and the descendants of Jarvis and Tobias from their son Maximilian.

It was still early even though it was Saturday and Luther decided to give the Wilson ranch a call. Two rings later and he was speaking to the owner of the Wilson ranch. Luther explained everything that they had found out and transferred files to Mr. Wilson along with the photographic that Max Wilson was in fact Maximilian Spinelli son of Jarvis and Tobias Spinelli from the Z1 ranch. The child was taken without the father's permission at night and had never been seen again. The father is now advanced in years and has never ever thought anymore that he would never see his son again he enclosed the chapter in that part of his life.

Mr. Wilson was very sympathetic and he was pissed at the same time that Roderick and Tobias had pulled such a stunt. Yes, there were plenty of children born after they arrived but there was only one that came with him. Would you like for me to speak to Max about the situation that has been uncovered or would you like to come here and talk to him yourself Mr. Spinelli. Your ranch has the upmost reputation and respect of all ranch owners Zachary Spinelli runs a fantastic operation there and what he's doing for the betterment of Genmen and hybrids is amazing.

Luther thanked Mr. Wilson for the kind words he said about his father, my father will not be attending the meeting yet I will. Can you tell me how many members of this family still reside at the Wilson ranch? And if it came to a point where they wanted to visit the patriarch of the family how many would I need to transport.

Give me just a second Luther and I'll tell you we start out with Max and Jericho which are most alive and doing very well they have 15 children and the offspring of those and their offspring. So, I got a total of 71 walking talking living descendants of the gentleman that you have there. So, when do you want to come talk to them because I have carte blanche around here they can come and go as they well please, I'm not hard-nosed staunch person that requires passes in and out and everything else we are an open forum ranch? I've been thinking about contacting your location even though it's six hours away from us and sending some of the young carriers that are wishing different breeders if that's something your ranch would be interested in; we need to get together.

I have to get a hold of our transit operator and see if he's willing to work tomorrow for a special trip and we will leave out early in the morning and travel to your location we should be there by 8:00 AM. If you could please have Max and Jericho meet me in your office so that I can present the case for his father who has no idea of what I'm doing.

8AM sharp Max and Jericho will be here I'll see you tomorrow Sir. And he hung up the phone.

Luther looked at Tim, I'm going to throw up I literally am going to throw up I can't believe we have found family members and I'm going to go talk to them for the first time. Do you think father would do this?

You know Luther I really don't know if he would or not, but I don't see that we have any other choice this is a broken heart that has been broken for too many years. There need to be answers and people need to know the truth. So, you're doing the right thing. But I think you need to go home and get some sleep, I will call Lester and let him know what we need.

Tim rang up Lester, how many will the largest transit bus hold total people including you and passengers.

Tim but see according to how much luck as they have one bag a piece and myself, I can pack one with 86 people total that's no empty seats why you asking.

We have a special mercy run that needs to take place tomorrow Tim has got your directions to the other location that is approximately six hours from the Z1, we need to be there by 8 AM for a meeting and passenger verification, there are 71 people to pick up at the ranch that you're going to.

What ranch is that far away?

It's the T.R. Wilson ranch, Luther will be going with you and there's a possibility that all 71 will want to come back with you and I don't know how many pieces of luggage they have you know some Genman they have to pack the house when they go to the store.

Well, all I can tell them is that they are limited to one piece of luggage with a 50-pound weight limit what they bring is up to them but I will weigh every piece of luggage. And tell Luther we need to leave out the front gates by 2 AM not a second later. I can probably pick up some extra time since it's late-night. He had better have us some coffee, Francis will pack as a lunch to hell with that I'll pack Francis. He'll Keep me awake plus I've been telling him I'll get him off the ranch for a day trip time away from the baby will be fine one the boys will keep Phoenix. Francis has babysat for them too many times to count. I'll be ready.

Lester put down the phone, dad pack your day trip bag. We're going out for a little ride tomorrow but were gonna leave at 2 am. Rudy can babysit Phoenix; Denton can help him.

Francis walked out the kitchen and looked at Lester; 2 AM we have to leave here at 2 AM. And you're just telling me this now.

Just found out about the job assignment this is a special one for the bosses. He said it's of upmost importance that we get this crowd of people for some special occasion here to the Z1. They are all extended family members of the Z1 resident.

Lester when you say crowd how many people are you having to pick up to bring here by chance?

According to Tim there 71 of them that are coming, this is something special I don't know what it is and he didn't say but Luther is in charge and he'll be going with us. So, you might want to pack a bag of food for us to eat on the way because there's not much to eat at between here and there.

Francis hollered at everybody to get their hands out of their pockets and get their asses in the kitchen someone needed to go the store, someone need to go to the vegetable house because he had an order for 71 people and that meant four sandwiches a piece along with fresh vegetables just in case there were any children and plenty of drinks to be made and put in jugs.

Irvin started to moan a little bit until his dad told him to shut it up or he would he would close him down.

The Roland household was a buzz with work, people were going out to get things get fresh breads and other items that were needed to make sandwiches. Denton looked at his father and asked him what is all this about?

Don't know son, we got a special assignment tomorrow and I'm taking your dad with me so, you hold down the fort but first we gotta have them sandwiches made and everything prepped and in the transit cooling station so that they can be fresh when they're hungry. I figure if everything goes right, we should be here between 3 and 4 o'clock tomorrow no later than 5 PM.

As the time got close Drake began to get nervous and when he got nervous, he got gas and we were talking about a little too to every now and then were talking about peel the paint off-the-wall gas.

Regent gave him something for his discomfort and hopefully it would kick in before he killed them all.

The meal was ready, the table was set, the only thing that they needed was Rocky to be on time.

At 6:59 PM there came a knock at the door. Rory walked over and opened the door and invited his friend Rocky Anderson inside to meet his date, Drake.

Drake took one look at Rocky is the ducked his head to come in the doorway. And he mindlessly made a statement out loud; holy shit I didn't know humans got that big.

Regent elbowed his brother. Who just smiled and realized he had already screwed up.

Rocky didn't mind, it pays eat your vegetables when you're young, at least if your human.

Rocky walked up to Drake and held out his hand, I'm very glad to meet you my name is Rocky Anderson and I believe that we have a date tonight.

Drake was so bum fuzzed that he responded; tonight, date Williams Drake. I'm sorry I mean I'm Drake Williams your date tonight I'm very pleased to meet you Rocky.

Drake I am the one that's honored to meet someone who is beautiful as you are. I'm not a lot to look at since my fighting days, didn't always have a smashed up broken nose or a cracked jaw but I make do.

So, what your noses little crooked, no one's perfect as long as it's not hurting you are interfering with your life it just gives you character.

Regent motioned for Rory to come to the kitchen. Here, take this tray with Coolwater on it out to them. And tell them to sit down it's making me nervous he's going to hit his head on the light fixture.

Rocky want to have a seat on the sofa and don't worry stronger than it looks it holds me up so he can hold you up.

Rocky took a seat on the sofa and Drake took a chance and set down beside him.

Rory placed the drinks on the coffee table and handed one to each of them.

Rocky took a sip; this is the most delicious drink I have ever had. I know it's only served in genman households because is a Genman specialty but one of these days I need the recipe so that I can make it.

Drake chuckled; you can only make it if your Genmen or hybrid because others don't have the secret ingredient. And I can't tell you what that secret is because it's a secret.

Whatever it is I hold my glass up and toast the genman who made this.

Regent cleared his throat; tonight, that Genmen would be Drake this is his special mix.

Rocky looked at Drake and held his glass up to him, congratulations are in order for you the Coolwater that you have made is fabulous.

Thank you very much Rocky, I'm not the best cook but I can make sure that one doesn't starve and with little instructions I can make just about any dish that is desired. But other than going and getting the ingredients for tonight this meal is all about Rory and Regent, mostly Rory. I watched him and I learned how to make this particular dish but I still need to learn more if I'm going to make a proper spouse to some lucky gentleman.

Rocky smiled and placed his hand on Drake's knee, and I am one that would like to be considered once you are ready to settle down. I'm a tell you right now when I saw your photo, I didn't believe it was real but once I walked in this room, I realized that you are very real. And this shall be the first of many meals that we will take together if you will consider going out on more dates.

Drake placed his hand up on Rocky's; all you have to do is ask and I will be available for any time that you wish to spend with me.

Rocky may I ask you one thing and please be truthful, what do you think about children because I do have one piece about 2 ½ months old and he's a pure blood genman. He does not have anyone else in his life but me and my family.

I love children but they're usually scared of me because of my face they see my split lip and my bad crooked nose and they cry run to their parents. And as far as him being pure blood it doesn't make any difference; he is a child that needs to be loved by two parents.

About that time shall be cried out from the bedroom. Regent told Drake to stay put he would take care of Shelby it was just probably on blowout in his diaper.

A couple minutes later Regent came back in carrying Shelby seems like the boy was up from the nap and ready to play.

Rory took the baby from Regent because he wasn't supposed be carrying any extra weight and he scolded him for picking him up. Next time let me get him I know you want to do everything but in your condition the doctor said you to take it easy.

Oh, that's right you two are going to have a kid right.

Rory looked at Rocky; well, you're partially right yes were going to have a baby but that's not quite everything it turns out that Regent took it very seriously and he's going to have triplets. So, the doctor has put him on house rest and he supposed to take it easy no lifting and not a lot of walking for the first couple of weeks if he doesn't follow doctor's orders it's going to the bed rest for a month.

Rocky looked at Regent; shouldn't you be sitting down a set of walking around so much you do know a first time Carry that is expecting twins is risky but triplets you should be on your back with your feet in the air.

Thank you Rocky for the concern that I'm feeling okay and I have been taking it easy that's the first time that I have carried Shelby since I conceived. I forgot that I was pregnant it was a Freudian slip. As a genman I'm just used to doing things.

Yes, but you better watch out, little brother you're not invincible next time if he cries out and he needs up while you're there call someone else that's what we're here for.

Rocky looked at Rory and told him to hand the baby over, I need to get used to this little man because he might be an integral part of my life in the future any needs to get used to me. Rory handed Rocky little Shelby within Rocky's huge arms the baby looked so tiny.

Rocky looked over at Drake, was it hard for you to have him because he's not a lightweight by any means.

I won't lie to you where we we're from it was very backwards in the birthing process was not easy it took me 27 hours to push him out and yes, he did stretch me wide open he weighed almost 20 pounds. But he was worth every pain I had, free time I look in his face see him smile or when I nurse him, I count my blessings that I was blessed with such a child because he's a gift.

So, do you think you'll have more children?

If I find the right person, I plan on having more but I'll let you know right now from now on I'm only having hybrids I've only wanted hybrids in my life but I was not allowed at the old farm we were selected and then we were bred. Don't get me wrong I love my son but I have only ever wanted to carry hybrid children.

So, you are looking for a human mate or hybrid.

Only human and it's only going to be one human, and when I hook up with them you better be ready for a house full, I plan on having plenty.

I know right now Drake; do I have a chance at being a potential mate for you and I don't mean once or twice I mean forever. I'm getting older and I will start a family.

Let's get through this evening first to have our meal and see how we get along but you've got several points ahead already.

About that time Shelby literally exploded. The gaseous fart was so bad even Drake had to hold his nose.

This got Rocky to laughing, well the young man knows how to cut a good one. One thing about kids they will embarrass their parents at the most opportune moment.

Oh my gosh I think I need to go check him I don't know what it was but is not in the air out I'm on have to go change his diaper please excuse me, Drake took Shelby from Rocky and carried them into the bedroom to check the young man's diaper.

Rory was over the across room shaking his head, that boy can blow up a diaper and clear room there's no doubt about that.

Rory you know what that's means, he's just all boy ain't nothing freely about him. He's going to be a little Terrapin twister I see plenty of trips to school to go visit with teachers and the principal.

Regent started chuckling; what he's anything like his dad Drake is gonna ruin the day that that child ever made his existence because growing up Drake was the worst. As a child he would get out of bed walk over next two years bend over let it rip and jump back in his bed swearing it was not him.

Everyone started laughing when Drake returned to the room which Shelby. Okay let me on the joke what's so funny here?

Rocky started to laugh and he looked back at Rory the look back again at Drake and started laughing once again. Just your brother telling one of your antics growing up you're getting payback for your antics from your son.

What you mean antics and payback how can Shelby give me payback.

Regent looked at his brother and started laughing, I mean the bed farts. Remember when you sneak out of bed stand up by the head of someone else's let him rip and run back and jump in your bed your son comes by it naturally and is just all payback.

Drake covered his mouth and started to laugh I had forgotten about that one oh I was bad wasn't I, and every time you complained to dad, I was sound asleep.

Rocky started to laugh now I won't feel so bad if I accidentally get nervous and let out a rump rumbler.

Regent just shook his head; I think the two of you have more in common than you will ever know so before the fireworks start let's eat in peace and quiet in an aroma free environment.

Everyone got up from the living room and went to the kitchen where the meal was on the table awaiting. Rory was very glad he put on the extra star birds because Rocky ate like three people would.

Everyone had a hefty appetite for supper and when it was through Drake and Rocky went out to the front porch and set on the swing.

Rory looked to Regent, I do believe that your brother and his date are off to a good start.

Rory can you imagine all three of them in the same household somebody gets tickled and lets one rip and the other two joins in, it would be like a gassy free for all. I believe Drake and Rocky will be just fine dad keeps his nose out of it. And that's something I'm going to talk to my brother about, running his own relationship and telling dad to stay out of it it's none of his business.

While Drake and Rocky were outside sitting on the swing discussing things Drake broke down and told him all about Shelby's parentage and what happened on the farm the way he was conceived. Rocky responded by wrapping his arm around Drake and telling him that nothing like that would ever happen again. He was no longer on the farm he was on the Z1 where everyone was treated with respect and if anyone got out of line with their mate and harmed them, they had to go see the Council for judgment and retribution.

Rocky asked Drake if he would consider going out for lunch at Constantine's in the Township the next day if so, he needed to be ready by 12 o'clock noon so they could catch the transit to town. Drake accepted the invitation but reminded Rocky that due to Regent's condition Shelby would need to come along.

Sure of course we didn't think I meant for me to leave him behind, as part of the family and he'll be part of our family when we get to that point. Let's go back in where I can say goodbye properly to the family and I'll see you at 12 noon tomorrow. The two walked inside and Rocky bid his farewells and departed the home for the evening.

Drake was floating on top of the world.

So, tell me Drake that I've find a candidate for you are not?

I don't know yet, but I'll tell you after our date tomorrow for lunch.

Regent looked at his brother; no, you didn't.

Yes, little brother I did and tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon Shelby and I are going to take the transit into town with Rocky and were going to a place by the name of Constantine's first some kind of lunch. I hope it's good

Rory chuckled; it's one of the best places there is in fact Sunday lunch is going to be kind of busy so Rocky will more than likely make an appointment, the burgers are fantastic the star birds are out of this world they make mine taste like crap and wait to you get to the malted's those are the best things to ever cross your tongue and slide down your throat.

What is a malted?

It is a frozen treat that is blended so it is drinkable and it comes in different flavors, it's an earth-based delicacy, you are going to love it but just don't try to drink it too fast through the straw because you will get a brain pain.

Well, I guess I'll just have to try one of these malted for myself and see if it's worth it remarked Drake.

It wasn't real late so Rocky decided to take a chance and called Constantine's to see if there were any inside tables ready when the 12 o'clock shuttle arrived he need one for three and they had never been there before.

Let me look for a quick Rocky replied Constantine, I have one outside and I might have one inside I'm not sure I've got someone else looking for one also is that you in a couple of the guys that needed.

No Constantine, I'm bringing a date and he has a 2 ½ month old son so I would prefer to be inside if any way possible.

Did you say you were bringing a date Rocky? Like someone that you're seeing and he has a 2 ½ month old.

Yes, Constantine this is our second date and our first time out in public away from family so I wouldn't respectfully request an inside table of the baby is comfortable and I do know that I would like to reserve to malts for us to drink before our meal. We're going to order off the menu so it's his choice.

Not a problem Rocky I've got the perfect table for the three of you. And let me work the magic because the meal is on me and you're going to have a sampler platter of the restaurants best. Believe me after he gets through, we will see plenty of the three of you because I'm going to make heck of an impression on the young man. Anyone that is fortunate enough to accompany you on a date is well worth the effort.

Thank you very much Constantine and we will be there on the 12-noon shuttle. Rocky was on top of the world, not only was he going to have a second date but they were not going to have chaperones and the baby was a bonus.

Drake went and sat in the living room on the sofa and began to ask questions about Rocky and his past.

Rory did his best to answer all of the questions that Drake had. When it came to Rocky's family life, he couldn't give him a whole lot of answers because Rocky was very well guarded about his past. All I could tell him was what he knew, he grabbed up the tablet and did a search and showed Rocky Anderson throughout his fighting career.

Drake was amazed at how beautiful Rocky was as a young man before the pounding on his face took its toll.

As the sun rose at the Z1 Ben had a bag packed and was waiting for Madison to arrive. He was so nervous he didn't want to eat in case it made him sick to his stomach. But Jarvis like he always was made sure that Ben had a cup of coffee two pieces of toast buttered and a sausage patty, his favorite breakfast the man remembered what he liked.

Unbeknownst to anyone Lester, Francis and Luther were almost 4 hours into their trip. Francis made Lester a cup of coffee and made sure his husband had a sandwich in his hand in His eyes on the road. Luther was waking up from his short nap and smelled the best coffee he had ever smelt. Francis being the constant hostess brought him a coffee and serve it to him and his seat.

You know Lester if we decide to go upscale and by the deluxe models of these long trips were gonna need servers and someone to train them, I think Francis could show them how to do their job properly.

Francis looked at Luther; oh no you don't. Don't get any ideas this is a special occasion and as far as the Z1 buying deluxe transits do you know how much can things cost. Your father took a very big gamble by buying two new units and to refurbish units as it was granted it was a wonderful idea and it's paid for itself. But I don't know about the deluxe ones the seats are bigger and pleasure yes but you cut down the number of occupants.

Well; if we're going to attract the big bucks to the hotel and Township and what I'm talking about the Museum and educational center library and all of that. We get the higher scale clientele coming in here we still run the regular ones for the people that cannot afford the step up. We could definitely make more money and that money would go back to help the community and one's less fortunate. What you think Lester is a crazy idea or do you think it might work.

Well Luther these here carry on the average 80 passengers a deluxe model carries 55 they cost almost double due to the amenities but if we want to attract people in professional jobs, politicians and the judicial order we might look at getting one to start out with or if they give a discount for two of them it might pay off. The hotel is ultramodern and rivals anything within this main city. Donnie's restaurant is unbelievable he has standing reservations every night nobody here can get in because it's booked for six months in advance. Jake is considering adding on to Constantine's and almost doubling the capacity with a whole new inside and outside dining area plus the kitchen is going to have to be expanded. He wanted to move the restaurant but Constantine put his foot down and said hell no it stays where it is and everything that is there must stay and everything that is added must match it. And I'm not going to tell you how hard it is to match that old style architecture. Poor Jake and the rest of the crew are pulling their hair out. And I'm not going talk about section 2 you know that every house is already sold. We've got people that want to come from the city's and we are turning them away because they're not a mixed inner species couple. Your dad is considering another section of land to build another subdivision that will allow anyone in, but the deeds are restricted very restricted. The Z1 and Hawthorne complex is growing you need to talk to Ty about lands and acquisitions since you boys are running it for your father you need to be up on everything.

Lester how do you know all this, let's just say I'm a good employee and a good employee listens to his employer when they need to vent or get something off of their chest they act as a sounding board and they keep their mouth shut until the proper time and place.

I'll tell you this one thing, the Z1 is fixing to have a visitor and I hope your father is back before he arrives. He is very high up in the government and he wishes to see the magical place where the people came from the saved his life.

Lester are you talking about the senator?

Bingo give that boy a prize he won the toss, I don't know exactly what it is but there's a huge announcement coming from the senator and it will be done from the Z1 in front of the new Museum and educational center. And I'm talking about press from everywhere on the planet. So, it will put this ranch on the map of Who's Who in the social circles. You need to look at the groundbreaking his fiction take place at the clinic area and look at the future expansion for homesites connected to the Z1 next door and I'm not talking about at the Hawthorne ranch I'm talking about phase 2 of the Z1.

Lester are you talking about the property adjacent to the Z1 that father has been trying to buy for almost 20 years, I remember vaguely when he would come and visit, he would talk about he had a deal working to enlarge the Z1 and it would be a game changer.

That very one Luther, and it looks like it's going to happen finally the deal has endorsement of several judges, several magistrates and three senators along with the GBI's endorsement. Nobody else wants the land is not worth anything until it's irrigated and brought up the careful land management.

Ben was waiting on Madison as he pulled up, he did know what was wrong with a stomach but it was doing flip-flops. He took a deep breath and gently let it out.

Mr. Ben you look a little green, but don't worry we're going for a ride I'll grab your bags will take off do you have a letter written for the boys.

Ben handed the envelopes to Madison one address to Luther and the other one to Tim with special instructions while he was gone.

The two went out and got in to the speeder and they left the front gate and he made a right turn and they proceeded down the roadway.

Tim was watching from the office as his dad left. It didn't make any sense where was he going to, they turned right and left yesterday his father turned left when he departed what the hell was going on?

About 8 miles down the highway Madison veered off the roadway and took a dirt path, he put the speeder in all-terrain mode and told Ben to hold on. The road was bumpy as hell if it really was a road.

Slowly Madison took the speeder ever so gradually to the right, then had no idea where he was. Madison pulled up to a small shade tree and stopped the speeder. Mr. Ben, I need you to put this blinder on so that you cannot see where we are going to go this has to be totally unknown to you and he handed the blinder to Ben to put on. After Ben put on his blinder and Madison checked it to make sure he could not see anything Madison once again proceeded with his trip. If Ben thought he could recognize anything he was sadly mistaken because Madison made so many turns that it would confuse a star chart Capt.

Madison pulled up to the cabin, he told Mr. Ben to stay where he was and he would come back and help him out. Madison carried the bags into the cabin and set them down in the living room area Mr. Zack was cooking his specialty and you could smell them through the house. Madison returned to the speeder and helped Ben out of the vehicle and walked him around in circles before going into the house. There was no way anybody could figure out where he was much less Ben.

Ben smelled the air and realized that someone he knew had to be very close. Madison removed his blinder and told him to walk through the door into the kitchen area. Madison took this opportunity to leave closing the door behind him. Ben looked around the kitchen and the table was set for two there were plates of food with fresh hot pancakes. There was not another sound nothing, no one else was there until Zach walked through the door still dripping wet from his shower.

Zachariah Spinelli; you no good ruffle bait son of a bitch. How dare you scare the hell out of me. What in the hell are you up to?

Zack looked directly at Ben; we need a fresh start, something rustic like we started out in. I guess you got my note and that's the reason you're here. A little birdie told me that you were unhappy and miserable just like I was. So, if you're here too I take it that you are now unencumbered. Because I know I am, Harry is at the new hotel top floor suite, he took my new speeder and left. But he was just being a drama Queen, after the second baby was born, he didn't want me near him at all so I gave him his freedom.

Coming Soon P-54
