The Z1 Ranch P -- 61 CGW©
Phyllis looked at her husband, this is mine to handle. By the time I get through with this group of media hounds they're going to be whistling a new song and going the other direction because they do not want to mess with me.
Whatever you decide I'll back you up 100% all the way, so let's go meet the vultures.
Sen. and Mrs. Moreself walked down the drive to the front gate of the Z1 main house where the news media was camped out. The security staff was assembled as a buffer zone and the news media was invited just inside of the property.
Members of the media were hollering out interrupting each other trying to get the first question when Phyllis put her hand up and they all shut up.
You know being the wife of a politician is a full-time job but every now and then I like to have a little bit of time with my husband is called personal time and or personal space. But it doesn't seem that the media thinks we deserve any time to ourselves to enjoy it our company together. My husband has recovered very well from his surgery and his health has improved immensely. So today when I got up, I decided that we would take Mr. Zachary Spinelli up on the offer for a personal tour of the Z1 Ranch, which included a personal tour of the main house. We were at the medical facility when you to send it up on this place in your pursuit of a story. So, if you want one, I have one for you.
A short while ago I was fortunate enough to hear the most wonderful sound in this world. We were honored by a young man who played a beautiful old earth melody for us only personal piano blogging to Mr. Spinelli in the main house. I had been to concerts, operas, banquets and fundraisers were someone at tempted to play the piano. But this young man doesn't attempt, he brings the beauty of the instrument to life. I have a recording here on my tablet that I took without the young man knowing it because it was just that beautiful and he honored me with it. Get your camera's close because you know exactly what I mean when you watch it and hear him play.
Phyllis pushed a couple of buttons on her tablet and a short video started. The video showed a young man sitting at the piano as he began to play a musical song from the great composer Bach. For once in their life the entire press corps was silent as the young man played, when the song finished Phyllis turned the tablet off.
Now that you have heard and been privileged to the same talent as myself, let me tell you a little bit about the young man. He is 16 years of age; he lives here on the Z1 with his family and he is 100%. Blood genman. It is amazing what this young man has realized in his short life and has been able to accomplish.
Dax a reporter from CNC media remarked; you seriously don't intend to convince us that that young man is a Genman, that he has the natural talent to play the piano like that, really do you think were that gullible Mrs. Moreself.
Oh, my poor ignorant Dax from Crappy News Corporation. I was hoping that someone of your caliber would dare to challenge me. And yes, whether you believe it or not, Zion the young man in the video is, in human years 16. He realized that he had a gift for mathematics and music was nothing but mathematics with a melody. He learned how to play the piano, how to read the composed music and even tune the instrument so that it would bring out its best in sound. This is the first time in his life, he has been fortunate enough to play on such a fine instrument.
Dax, you are the one that I feel sorry for because you do not know what Genmen are truly capable of. Thanks to them I have my husband beside me and he has recovered from a viral infection in his heart because of a medicine that was derived from Genmen knowledge.
Sister you can tell everybody you want to and this is no disrespect for the Sen. or yourself. But Genmen are not humans and they will never ever be humans, nor will they be able to compete with us on our level because they're dumb an un-trainable.
Jordan Reeves from INC had all he could stand from the ignorant Dax and he turned around. My esteemed colleague, you are the most ignorant person I have ever heard. You know nothing about Genmen, their customs, or their intelligence and least of all their generosity and kindness to others.
I wasn't brought up in the city, I wasn't taught to be arrogant and ignorant such as yourself, my family lived in the countryside. And if it wasn't for the generosity and kindness of Genmen I wouldn't be standing here in front of you today. When I was young in my early teens there was an accident on my family's place. A trenching machine turned over and trapped my father injuring him severely. There were no other humans around us the only ones around us were Genmen. Our kind and gentle Genmen neighbors.
When my mother called for help, they came running. They helped lift the piece of equipment off of my father, they carried them into our home and they helped my mother bring him back to health. They could have left us to die of starvation, but they took it upon themselves to farm our property and gather the crops as they were ready when my father was mending. They brought food, medicine and other supplies that we needed desperately. And never asked for anything in return, do I have Genmen friends you better believe it, and I will never ever forget their generosity.
When I was old enough, I told my parents that I didn't want to stay on the farm I wanted something different I wanted to go make a difference in the city. When one of my friends a young genman heard of my desires to leave the farm, he helped me locate a position that was available and was there with me while I studied to make sure that I passed the exams. Genmen not smart, can't be taught you wish. My best friend Elliott helped me get my job with the International News Corporation. I owe the Genmen that helped my family everything in my life, you are the idiot and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Dax just could not leave it alone, yeah, yeah, yeah, so you got a sob story you had it rough and some Genman helped you. I bet you were sleeping with good old Elliott weren't you, maybe you like that vent. The next thing recorded on the exchange of words between the two reporters was Dax being laid out on the gravel in the edge of the roadway when Jordan decked him.
Jordan covered his face then looked at the Sen. and his wife, he apologized for his actions. I was always told by Elliott, no matter how much someone disrespected me I should always control my temper and not disrespect them by putting them in their rightful place.
Sen. Moreself laughed and told the rest of the news media; this is what we need more of, young men like Jordan who work for INC, someone that stands up for the rights of others and stands on principles. Jordan, my wife and I thank you for defending your friends the genman.
The Sen. broke protocol and approach Jordan and shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder. They then turned around, the Sen. on one side Jordan in the middle and Phyllis on the other so that the press corps could give Jordan his respects.
The impromptu news conference was over, Zach told everyone if they would like to leave their cameras and recording devices in their vehicles, they were more than welcome to go to the Genman Museum, interactive displays, view the library that was free to everyone, take a tour of the areas the school that were not being utilized for teaching the young at the present time. And some of the shops and food establishments on the Promenade area. And then after they enjoyed it and met some of the workers and other residents of the Z1 go back and write their own story of their experience in the Genmen world.
Ben looked over at the young man who was still flat on his back and out cold, well we can't leave him out here, the rackknars won't even drag him off they have better taste. We need to have a couple of the young orderlies come over here take them to the clinic patch him up and when he's on his feet, send him on his way. There's no doubt that CNC still wants their star reporter.
A very loud round of laughter came from the other reporters and cameramen assembled there at the gates.
Phyllis spoke to young Jordan, if you attend the tour will catch up with you and maybe we'll have time to sit down in the Promenade area and have a cup of tea.
Thank you very much ma'am, that I would enjoy.
Good will see you there Jordan.
Zack and Ben along with a Sen. and Phyllis walked back to the manor house, Ralph looked Ben; you know my friend I appreciate everything that you've done and are doing for us today this was kind of off-the-cuff. But Phyllis and I would like the chance to walk through the Z1 and the exhibits that are available here without any fanfare without anything, just be around the people nothing against you and Ben but you two distract the residents because you are so important here and I bet there's other things that you need to be doing for a little while. So, if you don't mind will let you go back to your lives.
Not a problem replied Zach. There are a few things I need to set up for the later on this afternoon and evening so will catch back up with the both of you.
Zack and Ben went into the manor house and Ben headed directly to the kitchen, he was starving or at least the baby was and he was just feeding it.
Zack went to go check on Zion because he had a special request for the young man later. He found him setting in one of the overstuffed chairs with his nose in a book reading.
I'm sorry Sir said Zion; I saw the name of the book and it intrigued me. But if I'm not supposed to read these like Master Tim told me I could I would gladly put it back where it belongs Sir.
Zion any book that you wish to get down and read you are more than welcome to enjoy them, because there is nothing that I enjoy more than seeing young people taken interest in reading and learning.
May I ask you something? It's not for me it's for my older brother Rico. But first I need to close the doors so this is private.
Go right ahead then you will have me as your audience young man.
Zion closed the doors to the reading room then went back and took his seat in the chair once again.
Mr. Zack, I know how the law reads and that we now have rights amongst the humans but some genman refused to give up old traditions and I feel that it's not right.
Okay Zion; you have my full attention now what is going on that you need me to know about?
My brother Rico he is going to start his transition maybe as early as tonight or sometime tomorrow he told me he could tell because his vent was starting to swell and it itched plus his skin was too tight on his bones. Dad is very traditional and believes that Rico should be locked in his room for the transition then on the third day afterwards he will be placed with another of dad's choosing to serve as his carrying mate. Rico doesn't want anything to do with tradition he wishes to pick his own choice in life but he would never speak up to dad.
Zion why isn't Rico at the clinic? You do know that all young men about to go through the change of transition are required to be registered at the clinic so that they can be put in a transition room.
Like I said Mr. Zack, my dad is for tradition not progress when it comes to certain Genmen aspects.
Okay I can take care this really easy but I want to ask you. In about eight months maybe nine it's going to be your time, where do you see yourself after that?
I want to wait, but I won't have a choice if it's left up to dad, father runs things here in the main house when Jarvis isn't here but at home it's all dad. He controls every aspect of the house. I want to play the piano; I want to grow I want to learn things I want to see things and when I'm ready then I will decide what I want to do with my life but I don't want to have to lay on the bed and push a child out of my body every nine months for someone that I don't know and I don't love just because dad picked him out for me and decided my fate for me.
This conversation can never be spoken about or I will be in trouble at home and not allowed to come back and play for you anymore Sir.
Zion do not worry about this I will handle everything when it comes to your transition time, just as I am going to handle your brothers now. But I will ask for one thing and return that you be allowed to come back here tonight and play for our guest once again. You need to be here about 7 PM, I will have you picked up and carried back to the house so your parents don't worry you do not have to walk after nightfall. So, go ahead and go home and rest until you come back to the main house tonight.
Thank you very much Mr. Zach and please hurry Rico doesn't have a lot of time, I don't want to see him sad and regretting his life swollen up by someone he doesn't know or love.
Zion departed the reading room and went home, no one knew any difference or that conversation had taken place.
Zach left the reading room and made a phone call, he requested that Rico be sent to the main house to speak directly to him and that was it. The next phone call that Zach made was to Caleb at the clinic informing him that young Rico was about to start his transition and would need a room and he would bring him by later.
Franklin answered the door and was surprised to see his oldest son standing there. Son what are you doing here at the main house and why are you at the front door question Franklin.
Father; I don't know dad answered the phone and I could hear Mr. Zack's voice is very Stern. He told dad that I was to report to the main house and speak directly to him, is everything okay?
I have no idea my son, but if the Master Zack requested that you report here to the main house to speak to him, I will show you directly to where he is at, be prompt, be courteous and follow his decrees and orders because he is in charge here my son.
Zach was waiting for Rico to arrive in the sitting room, Franklin announced at the door that the young man Rico that was requested had arrived.
Franklin, please show your son in and the two of you need to have a seat, I'm going to talk and you're both going listen.
Young Rico I know we have not gotten to speak a lot since your family has arrived but I know the residents that live here at the Z1. Tell me son your due anytime to start your transition am I not correct. Your probably swollen and your body itches inside along with your skin being tight on your bones is that not how you feel?
Rico was surprised and shocked at the same time. Yes; Sir that urges are strong in my body and my time is up on me.
Son why haven't you went to the clinic and registered yourself for the transition room?
Dad says it's going to happen at home it's his orders.
That might've been only old farm that you were on but on the Z1 we take no chances with our young men, you will leave here and you will go directly to the clinic I will take you there personally, I will stand by as you have your exam and you are fitted with your transition outfit. You will be able to tell your father who will be there with us goodbye as a child and when you reemerge after you been examined by the medical staff to ensure that you are clear you can say hello once again to your family. Due to a few incidents on the ranch Genmen are no longer allowed to transition at home everything must be done at the clinic to insure your health.
After you transition you must wait for days before your allowed to go home that way you have made it through your first mini-cycle without any chances of being taken before you're ready. There's a lot of training that you need to go through to decide what you want to come in life. There are a lot of books to read and a lot of information for you to go through and that learning will take care place in a different location. Three months shall pass before you return to the Z1 and tell me your decision if you wish to be a breeder, a breeder carrier, or a carrier. At that time and only at that time are you allowed to make a decision that affects the rest of your life. Do you wish to have a bonded mate or do you wish to be a single parent household?
No one else can make this decision for you, only you can decide your future. At the end of three months, you start your first regular cycle you do not have to take action and be bred then if you wish to wait another six months for another cycle that is available to you to is an option. But remember no one else has control over your body, only you control your body.
This is where your father comes in, when Rico gets through with his mini-cycle he is going to go on a little trip. He will be going to the ocean and spending some time learning how to cook for the public. I have some friends in there in a little bit of a bind. The father to be is going to need a little bit help because his mate cannot cook at their diner. And from the records I've seen it was listed Rico as a proficient cook for standard family meals and breakfast.
Rico; I will introduce you to my friends that are in need of assistance, Franklin you already know them, I'm talking about Chuck and Tom. Tom found out today he cannot return home on this trip but must stay here because he is expecting triplets within the next month, Chuck is lost. So, what do you think about your future as a genman now Rico?
I will not fail my family Sir, and I will not fail I will make you proud. This is a chance for me to prove myself that I am worth something. It's not going to make my dad happy but it's my life after I transitioned no one else's and I should be able to decide who I wish to be for the opportunity I think you immensely.
So, Franklin what do you think about the opportunity for your eldest son is up to the job or shall I pick one of the other six young men there are going to transition in the next two days for this assignment?
Sir, I am very honored that you thought of my family and especially my oldest son that I didn't even know you that realized existed. I have no doubt that he will succeed in anything he puts his mind to do. You have given him a choice in his life so that he controls his life no one else. And he will not fail you Sir.
Okay Rico if you are ready it's getting to be 5 o'clock and I think that we all need to walk over to the clinic so that you can check into your transition room. I'll be there first thing in the morning to check on you and my face will be one of the first ones that you see when awake. So, if the three of us are going to the clinic so let's go.
Franklin accompanied his son to the clinic with Mr. Zack, Rico was a little nervous at first, he had to change into his transition clothing, it was a lot larger than he was and he said something to Zach about it.
Don't worry young man by in the morning it will be sufficient for you because I think you're going to grow quite a bit looking at your body structure and the way you are.
The examination took place and everything was found to be in working order, Rico was carried to his transition room where his father hugged him told him that he loved him and would see him in a couple of days. Zach wrapped his arm around Rico and assured him that everything would be okay and that he'd see him in the morning just to calm his nerves.
As Zack and Franklin walked back to the main house, Zach spoke to him. I try to stay out of affairs especially when it's private between a couple of mates. But I feel I need to be quite clear with you. You run the manor house with such precision it is impeccably handled, the staff respects you and I respect you Franklin. But what I heard was disturbing today, you need to go home and get your home in order so that your children respect you as being their father and the one that keeps his home running properly. If there's disrespect between the parents and no ones in charge because one runs over the other one in the children will know nothing but chaos. Decisions when it comes to children should be made by both parents not just one, when one mate gets so far out of line that they try to dominate the entire household and all of those who live in it then there are problems. Franklin; take care of your problems tonight and I'll see you at work in the morning.
Franklin without a doubt knew exactly what Mr. Zach was speaking about. Rico should've been registered a while back but his dad was going to try and Enforce Old Way, Genmen traditions. That's fine previous things and yesteryear but he had to live in today and follow the rules and regulations set forth at the Z1 from now on whether he agreed or liked them.
No sooner than Franklin walked to the door of his home Micki started in on him. He demanded to know where Rico was and why wasn't he at home.
Franklin looked at his mate; he is at the health and medical center and he has been checked in to his transition room as ranch rules dictate. He has had his medical exam and will be spending a couple days at the center as he goes through his changes.
Micki flew off the handle and started to shrieking and yelling that Rico was to be at home during his transition he did not care about any rule about transition rooms he would be there in in the home and his dad would take care of them he didn't care whose rule it was.
About then Franklin exploded, Rico is our son; Rico is following the rules of the ranch, I checked them in myself and that is where Rico will stay until he has been cleared by medical staff and then he can come home for a visit. And that's all that I am going to say about it and that's the end.
Micki attempted to say something, which brought a quick response from Franklin.
Micki if you have any more comments keep them to yourself, I am sick and tired of your damn mouth when it comes to our children, you treat them like their yours and yours alone and I do not have any say so when it comes to the children, I have made a decision and that's it, case closed.
Franklin looked over at his second born Zion, make sure your clean and ready for tonight young man Mr. Zack will be here prior to 7 o'clock to pick you up so that you may play for the Sen. and his wife. Do your best and make every Genmen proud with your talent my son.
Zion walked up to his father and hugged him and thanked him for the kind words of encouragement.
Micki looked shocked; and just word do you think that boy is going to 7 o'clock absolutely nowhere, nowhere but if this house is where he stays.
Franklin cut his eyes Micki again; Zion is going to the manor house at 7 PM I have given him permission to play for the Sen. and his wife along with the other guest in the manor house. And if you don't like it you can keep your damn comments to yourself, I honestly believe that your jealous of his talent and you need to get over yourself.
And another thing while we're at it after Rico transitions, he will come back for a visit in fact a very short visit. He has an assignment that will carry him far from home to assist someone else as a courtesy of the Z1. While he is on his assignment, he will take classes through the online course because it is a remote location. Don't worry he'll be back in three months so that he can go through his cycle in seclusion at the clinic then he will return once again to assist those who are in need. When he decides it's his time to select a mate, he will do the selection himself he will not need a matchmaker or anyone else making choices for him.
Rico will be an adult and will have the decision as an adult himself who and when he chooses to take a mate. Not you and definitely not me.
Micki stood there devastated, Franklin had never spoke to him like that. Who was this new in charge person in the house?
Micki, I love you but the days of you riding hard on all of us is over, I will be respected in this home because I am the father. You are the dad of our children and I respect you for that but this is our home that we have our children in and you need to remember that from now on. Now can sit down and eat as a family because it's only to be four of us here tonight.
Micki walked to the kitchen and brought the meal out to the table; he served the meal and he set down and everyone started to eat in a very quiet and reserved atmosphere.
Zion was waiting on Mr. Zach to arrive; he was very excited for the chance to be out this late in the evening even though it was just to the manor house going out after dark was something very rare since his dad like to control everything.
Someone knocked on the door Franklin answered, it was Madison there to pick up young Zion for his impromptu concert for the Sen. and his wife. As the two drove away Madison asked Zion if he was ready for tonight?
Yes, Sir I am, is everything okay at the main house?
Zion everything is just fine at the main house I was referring to the amount of noise that was coming from your home earlier is everything okay.
Zion smiled; it couldn't be better father made sure everyone was informed that things were changing at our home from now.
Good little dude; because we can't lose yet the main house, I've gotten used to hearing you play after you arrive in the afternoons.
Madison pulled up to the mansion and the two walked up to the front door and directly into the house. It's a little less formal tonight than it is normally. But you have a lot of people here to see you play. There's even a couple of special reporters that will be listening to the concert that you will giving in the Sen. and his wife's honor.
Nothing phased Zion, he wasn't aware of anything out of place. So, what they were a few extra people to listen to him play, that was fine by him. For the next two hours he played a variety of the old Masters classical music, they took a short break which he enjoyed. There was plenty to consume on the table even though he did make a pic of himself he sure enjoyed the little pieces of meat that were rolled up with cheese inside and plenty of Coolwater for everyone to partake. Zion could've played all night long but at midnight Zach decided that it had been enough and everyone needed their rest.
Zack wrote a very cordial thank you note to Zion's parents and apologized for their son's late-night outing. But to realize that Zion could have a wonderful career traveling around the planet entertaining those who desired to hear such fabulous music as he played.
Jordan suddenly realized exactly how late it was and asked if there was any way he could get a ride into town?
Madison volunteered; you don't need to worry Mr. Zack I've got this one hand. As the two young men walked out of the manor house along with the young Zion so that he could be carried to his home, Madison looked at Jordan I hate to break it to you but it is a little too late to be on the roadways so you will be staying with my family at our home as our guest tonight. It's the least that I can do to show you our gratitude for what you did this afternoon defending all Genmen and hybrids that live here on our planet.
Madison I'm sorry I don't mean the imposition anyone but I lost track of time listening to Zion play, is like it slipped away and didn't matter anymore.
Zion thanked Jordan for his gracious complement.
Madison stopped his speeder in front of Zion's home and walked him to the front door, Franklin opened the door and the note from Mr. Zack was handed to him Zion inside and Madison returned to the speeder.
Now my esteemed guest you can see how the average Genmen lives here at the Z1, your bed has been turned down for you and you will not be disturbed until you smell breakfast cooking in the morning. I hope you don't mind sharing a room with a couple of my young brother-in-law's as Benjamin and I are raising them.
Madison nothing could please me more, if you only knew how many times I've been sheltered and showed generosity growing up by Genmen after my father was injured. It will seem like old times at home to me.
They pulled up in front of the O'Malley house, Benjamin was standing at the open door waiting for Madison to come in and bring their guest.
Benjamin was very cordial and welcomed Jordan to their small but humble home, he hoped that it would be appealing and he slept well until morning. I'm going to take this time to apologize right now, please enjoy the quiet before the storm in the morning because young genman do tend to be quite rowdy. Even though I have threatened them with certain death and dismemberment and promised them that their bodies would never be found I'm sure that one of my younger siblings will find a way to embarrass this household.
Jordan chuckled; mornings in a home full of adolescent Genmen what could go wrong other than a few gas bombs at the breakfast table. Don't worry I've been there before and I can tell you I can hold my own.
Jordan was shown his accommodations for the night, Madison and Benjamin retired to their room until the morning.
Jordan awoke to a strange smell it in his nostrils. He smelled food but he also smelt something like burning rubber. He looked around the room and he saw the source of the aroma.
There was a young genman sitting on another bed and it looked like he had another one trapped up underneath his buttocks. Hey you're finally awake my name is Benny and the knucklehead underneath me that's Brody, I am just giving him, his wake-up call. The young genman who was at the bottom of the of noxious aerial assault was struggling quite frantically to escape his brother's wrath.
Jordan realized that there was someone else in bed with him and he looked to his left and a younger genman was sleeping with his back to him.
Benny extended his hand and Jordan introduced himself. Don't worry about half pint there he just really likes his bed even though he was supposed to sleep on the couch per Benjamin, Zachary feels safe in his own bed. It's been tough little dude since dad passed away a little over a year ago and that transit crash.
Benny you might want to let your brother up before you suffocate him and have to explain that to Benjamin.
Shit I forgot, Benjamin jumped up to check on Brody to make sure he had survived.
Brody had survived but wasn't the most pleasant young man towards his brother. After a few choice foul words uttered toward his brother Brody suddenly covered his mouth then apologize to their guest for his poor choice and words.
Jordan laughed, don't worry about it, young man growing up me and my friends would do the same thing to each other when we spent nights over at each other's homes.
Brody looked at Jordan with a questionable look on his face. You mean that human children play games like this on each other in the morning also?
Brody, I don't know if other human children do that, but me and my Genmen friends did all the time. And because I'm human and I grew slower than the Genmen children around me I grew up with several generations of siblings. And I can tell you one thing I am the luckiest human in the world to grow up around such generous people like we had living near us out in the country.
Both boys set up on the side of the bed listening to Jordan, he had a captive audience. Benny had a concerned look; you mean you lived out in the wild country and there were other Genmen families around you that you were humans?
Yes Benny, my family had a small farm and my father and mother worked that farm they had eight of us boys I was the first born of their brood. Genmen that lived around us lived independently of ranches and farms because they wish to have freedom. I'm 27 human years old and when I was growing up things were a lot different.
There was government propaganda about the Genmen, there was a lot of fear among some humans that Genmen would come and take your children in the night and drink their blood. But it was a bunch of bullshit, Genmen are not bloodthirsty animals that prey upon children that would be some sick humans but never a Genman.
I could sit here all day and visit and talk with you both, but I need to shower and clean up and get ready for breakfast. I don't know what your brother Benjamin's cooking but it smells fantastic and much like my childhood.
Both boys were more than happy to show their new friend where the bathroom was so he could get ready as they woke up their little brother.
When Jordan stepped out of the bathroom, he found his three roommates fully dressed and ready for breakfast. Excuse me are you three already bathed and ready for breakfast.
Zachary who was the youngest smiled; we had our baths last night before bedtime because we were dirty. The only thing I need to do is brush my teeth because the kneborknobor came by last night and I must've been sleeping with my mouth open as it smells like he did something horrible.
Well replied Jordan; you might want to scrub your mouth and your teeth to get the horrible smell out of your mouth, we will wait on you. Zachary ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Brody snickered at Jordan; you know there's no such thing it's just something that Benjamin tells him so that he will brush his teeth.
And it works too doesn't it replied Jordan.
All three boys were ready to go and they showed their guest to the breakfast table.
Jordan took a seat at the table of his host; Benjamin was finishing up with the breakfast and placing it on the table Madison was sitting playing with their son.
Benjamin asked their guest how did he sleep last night and was everything okay?
Everything was great, I slept better than I've slept in years and I had the best back warmer for most the night too.
Ben looked at Jordan, what do you mean a back warmer; then it dawned on him. Zachary Don did you get off that couch last night and bother our guest while he was sleeping.
I was afraid of the booger boos; I didn't want them to get me so I snuck in the bedroom and crawled in my bed and placed my back against his. He told me it was okay if I did that but I better not fart, because if I did, he would let one rip so bad it would blow me out of the bed. So, I didn't fart at all, but Benny farted on Brody this morning and it stunk.
Benjamin put his head down and gently shook it from side to side in disbelief. Boys will be boys that was no doubt it was a good thing that Jordan had a very good sense of humor.
Everyone kind of laughed, you know boys when I was growing up when I was spending the night over someone's house, we would have contest to see who could make the loudest fart, the noisiest founding fart, then we had the nasty farts, the smelly farts and sometimes we overdid it and we had to go clean ourselves up.
But me and my Genmen friends we didn't know any different we were just friends we didn't know that you weren't supposed to be friends according to some humans. I remember one night I had three friends over and we were giggling and laughing and carrying on and have a what our farting contest when my mother walked in, she turned the light on and the look on her face was enough to tell us that we had gone too far.
I will never forget; her eyes crossed, her lips curled and she had this horrible look on her face. We were instructed to open the windows immediately to clear out the stench before the room exploded from the gas fumes.
Everyone busted out laughing at Jordan's story.
Breakfast was great and Jordan complimented Benjamin for the meal.
Madison's communicator went off. Mr. Zack requested that he and Jordan come to the transition section at the Medical Center so that he could help with Rico, and Jordan could see how things were done at the Z1 during that special time of in Genman's life.
When Madison and Jordan arrived at the transition section Mr. Zack was still going over the informational Rico's observation log. The staff member who had been watching Rico informed Mr. Zack that there had been in no more physical changes and very little movement from him in the last four hours. So, he was through with his transition but they still needed to worry about his pheromone levels which were off the charts.
Thank you very much son I'll take it from here you go home get you some sleep and when you're scheduled come back to work then you can return to work. Zack stuck the key into the door lock and turned it. Rico picked his head up and groggily looked around the room.
Zack walked into the room and spoke to the young man as he walked, Rico it's Mr. Zack how are you feeling young man.
I feel like a transit bus right over me three times I'm sore from head to toe but I guess I'm okay because I'm hungry.
Rico set up on the mattress and realized that he was naked, sometime during his transition he had ripped coverlet off. In his modesty he attempted to cover up his sensitive areas.
It's okay Rico believe me when I tell you that I have seen in many young Genmen the next morning after they transition you don't have anything else everyone else has. Young man I will just end up going to hand you this robe and you need to put it on we've got some visitors here with me.
Is it my parents Sir? They don't need to see me like this I'm not clean and I feel funny all over.
No Rico it's not your parents, Madison is here with me and a guest at the Z1 who is a reporter his name is Jordan. This is the first transition he has seen here at the Z1 so you are very special to us today and always. I want you to come with me and I will get you into the showers so that you can clean yourself and make yourself presentable to everyone.
Mr. Zack, and my ugly did I change a lot?
Young man you are far from ugly, and whether you know it or not your 6 foot 4 now and very physically pleasing to the eye of any male.
Does that mean that I have to be bred now Sir like my dad required of me?
No, Rico you do not have to submit to anyone for any reason just because they want you to. If and when you choose to reproduce that is your choice, over the next few months your body will make sure and you will have your first 24-hour cycle in three months. I'm going to tell you right now. You will wait for an additional six months and at that time you can make a decision of what you wish to become in life when it comes to reproduction and not until then. No one will force you to become what they want you to be ever. I have very good plans for you so don't worry about it.
Madison was cautious and came into the transition room along with Jordan it was very curious about the way the Z1 handled young genman coming into their own.
Rico knowing that Madison was a breeder, he ducked his head and stuck his hand out in a submissive gesture. Rico don't look down, look at me I have a mate. I don't want you as anything but a friend, it's nothing against you it's just that I have what I need in life.
Jordan was given the nod to walk up to Rico so they could shake hands and be introduced.
Jordan extended his hand and Rico clasped it within his when he went to shake his hand, he pulled Jordan's hand toward his nose to smell it then licked him, Zack was very cautious at this unusual action.
Before anyone could react, Rico pulled Jordan's body toward his and bit him on his upper shoulder next to the base of his neck it wasn't a little nip, Jordan was bleeding. Madison quickly intervened and restrained Rico, holding him face down on the bed as Zach hurried Jordan out of harm's way.
As Zack got Jordan out of the room, he hit the panic button located next to the door. Even though it was still early staff came running from every direction.
Matt and Rupert were at the clinic getting ready to start seeing patients when they responded to the alarm.
Zack told Matt and Rupert exactly what happened in the room between Rico and Jordan. In all the years that I have dealt with Genmen and hybrids here at the Z1 I have never in my life experienced anything like, this this does not happen here. I want to know what the fuck happened.
Rupert grabbed up his tablet and started going over information is he entered the question-and-answer section of the genman directories on sexuality and breeding.
Matt was assessing the wound on Jordan's neck is Rupert was getting answers. These were some straying answers.
Zach returned to the transition room where Rico had started to calm down and was once again allowed to set on the bed unrestrained.
Rico was terrified; I don't know why did that one minute I see his face I put my hand out to shake he is the next minute I bid him. Oh, Hell what I done, I hope I didn't hurt him Mr. Zack you got in no I'm so sorry I just don't know what come over top of me I have no idea.
Zack cautiously set on the bed beside Rico. Young man never seen this before and all the years I've worked with Genmen. I don't know what went on but I have staff members and doctors working to try to find an answer for both of us. I have to talk to your parents about this and I'm speak to the young Jordan and see what he knows about anything that could've caused you to react this way. But for the time being for your safety you're going to be securely locked in this room and only myself, Madison are one of the doctors will have access to you and it will be with security staff included so that you will not harm anyone or even hurt yourself this is for your protection.
Yes, Mr. Zack I understand, please I need some answers too.
Zach instructed that no one would go in the room without him are Madison with them. The room was to stay locked until they returned.
Zack and Madison got in the buggy and headed directly to see Franklin and his mate Micki.
Franklin was surprised that Mr. Zach stopped by the house so early because it was his day off.
Micki was glad to see Mr. Zack because he wanted to ask him some questions about Rico and how everything went.
Zack and Madison walked into the house and is Madison stood beside Mr. Zack he took a seat so that he could talk to Rico's parents.
Franklin, Micki we need to talk I need both of you to be truthful and this will go a lot smoother. Rico transitioned last night no problems I checked on him he was doing great I introduced him to Madison he and he was a little skittish and subservient to him but he was okay.
What happened next was totally out of line, Franklin the young reporter that we have here covering the Senators visit, his name is Jordan.
Yes Sir, very nice young man for a human but he did defend Genmen when that other reporter was indignant, why are we talking about him.
I introduced Jordan to Rico, everything was fine Jordan extended his hand and Rico extended his then he did something that was strange he pulled the reporter's hand toward him went to smell his hand and then it happened. He licked Jordan's hand and then he lunged at him and hit him on the upper shoulder by the base of his neck and it was not a nap it was a bite that broke the skin and bled.
Jordan's fine he's just got a bite mark and a story to tell in his old age. Rico settled down after we separated them and got Jordan out of the area. Rico does not remember anything but shaking the hand and biting his neck. He is highly upset he is horrified at what he did and he needs to know why. I need to know why nothing like this is ever happened in the history of the Z1.
The two of you must know something about what happened and why? Micki what is your background were your parents and what were they? Franklin, I know one side of your family but your dad side what do you know about them?
Micki is there anything that you can tell us that might shed light on this?
My parents were my parents, they raised me, father was always the nurturing one, dad was cold and distant at best not like I am with the boys. I was the only child and when Frank and I were matched per dad's orders, they left we haven't seen or heard from them since.
Okay that's good Micki that helped some, what about you Franklin what do you know about your dad's family?
You know my father's side; my dad parents, they were wonderful, they were on the ranch that we left they stayed because they were fourth-generation on that ranch and I've never heard of anything like this before.
Franklin don't worry I've never seen this before this is totally new. But we have people working on it. I need to take you both to the transition center so that you can see Rico he is not being allowed outside of his transitional room until we find out what the hell happened. I will not chance his health and safety nor anyone else's safety should he have a break from reality once again.
Franklin and Micki were thoroughly shaken and upset, they both wanted to see their son.
Micki spoke to Zion and his brothers and asked them to please watch out for each other while they went to the center to check on Rico, he came through his transition well for the most part but he had some problems due to the transition and Mr. Zack wanted them to visit Rico to help him adjust.
Franklin and Micki had arrived at the center with Zack and Madison, when Micki saw his son lying on the bed his heart broke for him.
Zach pushed the intercom button; Rico if you feel like company your parents are here and would very much like to come in and set with you for a while only if you feel like you can behave.
Rico set up on the bed and shook his head yes, I would very much like to see my parents if they're not too ashamed of me for what I did to Jordan.
Micki and Franklin walked into the room along with Mr. Zach and to security staff. Rico's parents set on either side of him on the bed and they wrapped their arms around him and comforted their son.
Father I don't know why I don't know what I did I didn't mean to embarrass you or dad I only want to make you proud of me to show you that I am worth something I'm not a nobody.
Mr. Zack talked to me we got along good as always because he's in charge with respect him, Madison came in and I felt like because he's a breeder I wasn't up to his level I don't know why, but he told me that I was somebody and to be proud and look at him don't look at the floor. Then the other guy came walked up to me and put out his hand to shake mine I looked at him and said to come over me I pulled his hand toward my face so I could smell him. Then I smelt wood, fresh chopped wood, the grass and then smoke like something was burning then everything went blurry and then I picked him and I tasted the metallic flavor of his essence in my mouth. My breath escaped me and it felt like I was on fire inside I was the one that was burning.
I'm so sorry I hurt him, but I don't know why. Mr. Zack is he okay?
Jordan will live but you left and nasty bite mark on his neck and shoulder. Matt said there's no way out it will scar, and Rupert is working on why you did it, what might be the possible cause.
As Franklin and Micki set beside their son to offer him comfort Rupert's voice come over the intercom. Mr. Zack, we need to talk please if the parents could also accompany you, they can visit Rico in a few minutes but right now we need to talk.
Rico told his parents to go find out from Rupert what was wrong with him so that he could fix it.
Everyone went to the conference room and had a seat; Rupert addressed the group. I've done a lot of reading since we spoke earlier Mr. Zack and this is strange. I tested Rico's blood for any anomalies along with Jordan's blood to see if there was some reason that Rico reacted to that. And what I found out is very strange.
Spoke to Jordan his parents, mother and father as far as he knows human. But both young men have an anomaly in their blood. It's the same anomaly they both descend from royal bloodlines. Were Rico's anomaly comes from I'm not sure, but I bet if I tested Micki's I could find the same exact anomaly.
The blood line is passed from mother to child, Rico's anomaly is more pronounced than Jordan's.
After I questioned Jordan his father is still alive but his mother has passed away and he has siblings. So that means that Jordan's mother had royal blood in her veins.
Now Rico has a stronger concentration of the anomaly which means his bloodlines are not diluted is much. Micki what you know about your dad?
Honestly; he was cold as hell toward me and my father. Wasn't nurturing according to father he didn't even want to nurse me after he had me left it up to my father. After Frank and I got together, one morning they were gone. Never even saw their grandchildren neither one of them. That's the reason I'm overbearing and always in my children's lives.
What is his have to do with Rico biting Jordan? And why all these questions Rupert?
Now were getting down to the good stuff. Royals sometimes signify that a breeder is their property or will be their future mate when they're ready and they mark him so that others will see that they are owned by the Royal. The bloodlines that they both carry unknown to both of them when the hormone level was at such a load in Rico's body when he got up with and a taste that's the reason, he licked Jordan he tasted him first to see if he was a suitable mate for the future. And he bid him to mark him from all others.
Jordan had a normal childhood he grew just like a human slow, Rico has enough Genmen and his body that he grew normal like a Genmen fast. If these two get together like they're intended now, I don't know what's going to happen, other they we're going to have little Royals on the Z1.
Micki spoke up; no way this cannot happen royal bloodlines need to end, they're too dangerous.
Rupert continued, that's kind of hard you have four children, Jordan's family has six boys and someway somehow somebody's going to get a hold of each other. It's better that it's done in a controlled environment rather than out amongst the humans. Can you imagine what would happen if Jordan and Rico produced a child and someone with evil intentions got their hands on that child to use it as a breeder or a carrier for their bloodlines?
Rupert, I have to ask you one question, could it be a mistake about Jordan's bloodlines, wouldn't he be just like every other Genman no matter how much Royal blood is in him? Asked Zach.
I'm very glad you asked that Mr. Zach, when it comes to the females reproducing with the Royal Genmen bloodlines if they reproduce with the human, they are 95% the time have another female but occasionally when their bloodlines are so diluted, they will produce males that only resemble human males, with no Genmen anatomy in their body at all, but yet if they lay with a genman they'll produce an offspring that has royal tendencies. And that can be a disaster in the making.
Well, everybody can do what they want to or what they think is best, I still say sending Rico to the coastline to work at Chuck's diner cooking, fitting him with an immobilizing tracking device should he leave the diner area more than a quarter of a mile that way he can walk around still and not be trapped inside. Remarked Zach, He will have constant supervision from Chuck and Ralphie. Number one Rico's not here at the Z1 he is safe, number two Jordan doesn't know where he's at, and last, he has people watching over him and guide him as he matures some. It's not the best idea but it's deftly not the worst.
If you want to be really sure about it, responded Rupert. If you asked my opinion personal and professional, Jordan needs to lock Rico's vent so that no one else, if their tempted can get into it. That means we'll have to restrain Rico physically so that he does not tried to go after Jordan again when he locks him because he still in his new transition phase.
Frank and looked at Micki and they both agreed, lock him and send him far away so he can learn and grow as he helped someone else out.
Zack stepped to the door and asked Jordan who was waiting outside of the conference room to come in so they speak about what was going to happen to Rico.
Jordan walked in and saw everybody sitting around the table, before any decisions are made Sir you need to know something that I have found out. I talked to my father and he told me a few things about my mother that I didn't know and she Just between herself and my father.
He's going to send me her family photo album which contains her family history also since the time of the crash.
Everyone in the room was on the edge of their seat listening to every word that Jordan spoke.
My parents met like any other young couple would have met and one day when they were in a very close and intimate setting my mother bid him on the same place that Rico bit me. Shortly after that she conceived me.
When her mother found out that her daughter was carrying a child of a human as she put it to my father. She became enraged and forbid them from seeing one another ever again and when I was to be born, she would make sure to get rid of me once and for all.
My parents ran away, somehow mom had money dad was just poor and struggling. With the money that she had they bought the small farm that I grew up on and build our home and soon she had six boys. Mother worried about me being out in the city for my safety and I never understood why.
Father said it's because she could smell the Royal blood in my veins. I remember the first time my mother ever laid a hand up on me it was when I was turning 18. One of my friends give me a very personal birthday gift. Let's just say his parents were not pleased finding the young human boy on top of their son in a compromising position but at least we were wearing protection. I knew right then that it felt right and it felt normal to me.
My friend Elliot helped me adjust to my new fetish. When I was 19, Elliot went into labor with his second child when no one else was around. I can tell you there is no feeling in the world greater than holding a new born child that you just helped bring into the world in your hands. He named the little boy Jordie after his Godfather. Elliot and I still talk he has six children now and a single parent. I once asked him why he didn't find a mate, he told me that he didn't feel the need of it. He knew who the fathers were and when the sons were old enough, they were given the option to see their father.
Mickey asked Jordan about the young man that he had lain with the first time what happened to him and was there everything else?
No Sir we spent fantastic hours in each other's arms making love to each other. Shortly after the incident with me he was bred by an older Genmen and has now bore him eight children. His mate thanked me for the service I provided at least he wasn't fresh when he took him so he did not hurt him their first time together.
Shortly after I turned 20, I said goodbye to the farm and went into the city Elliot did help me get my job with INC. I've dated around in the human world; women could care less they don't appeal to me and other males that's for them not for me. My first love will be my only love and that is genman.
I keep my private life very private, because even in this day and time bigots like Dax are everywhere. They can make or break a career and I'm not ready to give up my fight until I tear down some walls when it comes to Genmen and humans so that we can all live together like we should.
Franklin stood up walked around to where Jordan was seated and presented his hand. Young man, I have no doubt that you are of good moral and personal character. When the time is right for the two, you both have my and his dad's blessings to become what you are to be in life. But right now, we are requesting that you, lock him so that no other may attempt anything while he is away maturing and learning what and who he is. When he returns then you will start to get to know each other and the time is right you two will become one together.
Jordan looked at Franklin then everyone else in the room, what do you mean by lock him, I've never heard of this.
Zack commented; just a minute I'll have Madison explain it to everyone here so that everyone can understand in today's terms.
Zack stepped to the door and called Madison inside.
Yes, Mr. Zack how can I help you Sir replied Madison.
Young man can you explain to everyone here what locking your mate is along with why and how it's done?
Madison was put on the spot and the young man was clearly nervous. Locking your mate is an act of love and fidelity, an old time, when there was a war and your mate went off to fight, he would perform an action up on you to prevent anyone else from breeding you and to keep you safe from those who wish to harm. It was also meant to keep sluts from being sluts.
Only a mate a true mate could lock off another, if a genman was to breed another genman he could lock off the carrier so he could not be bred by another so that the breeding was safe from disturbance.
With a willing mate he will lay over an object such as a bed, he will present his vent to his mate. His mate will then draw his hand backwards in the air and come down on the presenter with his flat palm and strike his vent in a slapping motion as hard as he can. The sudden impact and shock will cause the mates vent to be retracted into his body and it will not allow anyone to enter him because it will cause little spiny objects to protrude from the inside making it impossible for anyone to enter without tearing off his appendage. Therefore, he is locked and is safe from all others until his mate gets back from battle and unlocks him for his own pleasure.
If not done much nowadays but it was common when Genmen works so civilized and especially if there was a prized breeding that had taken place and you didn't want to mix up to genetics by a lesser Genmen getting on top and trying to change it.
If you're talking about Rico and locking him, off you will need five people to hold him one on each arm one on each leg and the other one stabilizing his head. That young man is strong so I would suggest that you get some big security staff.
Well, if that's your estimation Madison I suggest that you are the one at his head so that you can calm him when he starts to struggle.
I'll do my best Mr. Zack for everyone; you do know that once you lock him off, he's going to stop fighting and he'll calm down even with Jordan in the room. Under proper supervision it will be possible that the two can set and talk.
Excuse me Mr. Zach; Micki spoke up. I would request respectfully you and Madison along with myself and Franklin be allowed to sit in with the boys as they spoke to one another medical staff can be standby so can security staff but I won't the family to sit together and as all speak to Rico and Jordan about the future. Rico needs to be told what and why it happened.
Micki, I couldn't not agree with you more, it's what they both need.
Madison police assemble your team, you're going to have to be fast and accurate to catch, him get Rico down without harming him so that Jordan can lock him. I'll go in and talk to the young man first and let him know what's going to take place and it can either go easy or it will be very tough on him.
The meeting broke up and everyone left the room Zack went to the holding room to talk to Rico as his parents stood by outside the viewing glass. Madison and Jordan left of that the team could be assembled and briefed of what would take place.
Zack announced on the intercom to Rico that he was coming in alone and they need to sit and talk.
Rico set on the bed clad only in a pair of night pants.
Zack entered and stood an appropriate distance and spoke to the young genman. Son what's happened to you is not your fault it is your genetics and will get into that later but first I need you to listen to me about what is going to take place where the you want it to or not.
Your vent is going to be locked, for you and everyone's safety this must be done. You are going for a trip and on that trip, you're going help some very nice people out. They're going to watch after you to make sure you're safe. On this trip you're going to do plenty of reading and study and work. You're going to be cooking at a small diner for the owners as one of them recovers from birthing. You will also help with the children and I said children because he's expecting three his first time. And their hybrids so they will be a little wild as they mature.
After your time with them is through and you're ready to go into your second cycle you'll be coming back to the Z1 and you and your future mate that you marked will decide how your future will go. He will lock you and he's the only one that can unlock you. During the time that you're away you will not be able to contact the young man at all. Genetics and biology have predetermined this for you.
So, I'll let you know how this is going to be, need to drop your pants bend over the bed pop out your vent. I need you to relax and not to struggle. Madison will be in front of you and will be talking to you as for security members restrain you. They will spread your legs wide so that Jordan can properly administer the lock.
When he comes in, I don't want you acting up even though you can spell him you better not struggle because I don't want to security staff to accidentally hurt you. You understand Rico?
I hear you I understand and I'll do my very best to respect you but when he's even close, I start burning and itching in my deep area. All I can tell the boys that are going to do this and Madison hold on tight, please hold me down tightly.
Madison came in and stood in front of Rico knelt down door his face was, Rico you're doing fine now the guys are going to take your arms and legs and do what they have to you just need to relax so that you're not hurt.
Yes, Madison I understand, but I know he's close I can feel him outside the door possibly my vent is already wet.
That's okay Rico is normal, when we're ready and where near our forever our bodies respond that's Genmen biology.
The security staff tightened their grip on Rico and the ones that had his legs spread them wide. Zach opened the door to let Jordan inside, Rico's body reacted and expelled slick from his vent almost 3 foot outward onto the floor.
Rico started to fidget and move a little bit and he started to hump his butt up in the air signaling that he was ready to be taken by his mate who had entered the room.
What Jordan saw, scared the hell out of him he wasn't sure that he could do this but he didn't have a choice. He walked up to Rico gently laid his hand up on his left buttock. Rico relaxed at the touch of his prospective mate. Jordan pulled his hand back and with as much force as he could brought it down squarely on Rico's vent smacking it as hard as he could.
Rico squalled out in pain as his vent reacted from the sudden blow delivered by Jordan's hand. His vent retracted as fast as it could back into his protective area and his buttocks attempted to slam shut even though they were being held widely opened. Rico put his head down and cried from the pain. Madison gently stroked the young man's hair and told him it was going to be fine. The two-security staff holding Rico's legs gently relaxed their hold and he helped him close them together as his buttocks clamped tight.
Madison instructed the other two security staff to relinquish their hold on Rico's arms and shoulders.
Rico very slowly turned his body so that he was in a sitting position. His eyes met with Jordan's he quickly looked down. I'm sorry for what I did to you when I bit you.
Jordan spoke to Rico; it did hurt and it still does a little bit but I'll be okay, you need to get some rest in another location here in the clinic and when it's time, your family along with Mr. Zack and myself are going to sit down and talk. Take care yourself and I'll see you later.
Rico started to cry and promised that he would never get out of line again, and he begged Jordan not to forsake him and leave him alone forever.
Rico it's okay I'm not going to forget you and I would never leave you alone forever. But right now, you need to get rested. You have a long trip ahead of you and a lot to learn. Rico set on the bed and watched Jordan leave the room.
Madison handed Rico his clothing and helped him get dressed. With the security staff surrounding them Rico was moved to a new location so that he could be more comfortable and his parents could even come see him.
Rico would soon start a new life that the road to his future was not going to be easy he had a lot of learning to do in a short time.
Coming soon P -- 62
