Chapters 11-19

Chapter 11

After eating I wandered out into the fortress. Just aimlessly walking, as I thought of the problem of attacking Burundi. I never even noticed that I was being paced by two of my guards and two of Ari's. Eventually I found myself at the top of one of the old towers of the fortress. I heard voices and stopped to listen.

"Benji I'm sorry for what my brother, if it is my brother did to you. I will never hurt you. Ari is my lover and I would never do anything to change that. I love him more than life itself. Please don't hate me for what my brother did to you."

"I'm sorry Jacob, but you look so much like him that it scares me. I don't hate you its just, just…"

Then I heard Benji crying.

I really wanted to go over and grab him and wrap my arms around him, but I also wanted to come to grips with the fact that Jacob was not Jason and couldn't control what Jason had done.

"I love you Benji, as much as I love Ari and Brin." Jacob said.

"Why do you love me?" Benji asked.

"I love you Benji because my Ari loves Brin and you and I can't do less. I don't know what my brother has done. I haven't seen him since I was thirteen. That's over five years. I don't know how he's changed. I don't even know what he looks like. I just hold in my heart how he was."

"I guess I can't hate you Jacob. Brin has been so nice to me that sometimes I think I have died and gone to heaven. He is the most wonderful man I have ever met. If he says your not Jason then I believe him. I know how he feels about Ari and because you are Ari's lover, I guess I should feel the same about you. It's just you look so much like Jason that it brings back some very bad memories. Can we start over."

"Start over?" Jacob said.

Then I heard something that brought tears to my eyes as Benji said.

"Hi. My name is Benji. What's yours."

"Jacob."

"Hello Jacob, that's a nice name. Do you like swimming?"

"I love swimming Benji."

"Great! Lets go swimming."

I ducked into an alcove as the two boys now hand in hand walked by and down the stairs from the tower. I walked over and leaned on the ramparts and just looked out over the blue sea stretched out to the horizon. Very happy that Benji and Jacob had come to terms. I headed down to my quarters and then sat down and opened my laptop. Keying in my password, I dealt with the accumulated messages that had been piling up. I picked up the phone in my room and asked to be connected to isc Tel Aviv.

After being connected, I asked for a tie line to Edmonton.

"Intersec Edmonton Sir."

"This is Commander Brin, connect me with Intelligence please."

"Intelligence Sir."

"Willy anything on that request for flight information on that private aircraft."

"Yes Sir. The aircraft is registered to Anwar Mohanna, a Turkish national. He makes about two flights a month into NorAm. He has extensive business holding in NorAm, mostly stores dealing in Exotic art. He is a multi millionaire. Since we have been tracking his movements he has visited NorAm twice. Once into LAX and once into Edmonton. As far as can be determined he travels alone and has left alone as well. There is a record that he has visited Estavan at least six times in the last four years. He doesn't have any holding in Estavan that we can find. As to where he goes after he leaves NorAm we don't have access to International records Sir."

"Thanks Willy. Keep tracking his movements in NorAm and notify me immediately the next time he is in Estavan."

"Yes Sir. Will do."

"Connect me Logistical Support please Willy."

"LOG. Commander Timpson Sir."

"Hi. Pete, how you doing?"

"Busy as hell if you don't me saying Commander."

"Peter you know you can call me Brin."

"Sorry Brin, its just been so busy lately and now I have to drop everything to fly over to the med for the meeting with you."

"Its not a meeting Peter. Its for my wedding. I want you to be here. You and Mike are my oldest friends. I want you to be here."

"I'm sorry Brin. Its just that I was hoping in my heart that maybe one day you and I would be getting married. I just love you so much, that it hurts a little bit that I have now lost you."

"Peter you haven't lost me. I still love you, but I guess I love Benji a whole lot more. I will always love you Pete. Now to business. What's the status on the lav 7?"

"They began to come off the line a week ago. GM Canada is producing about five per day. As per our agreement we will receive the first 300. They already have orders for about 7000 units. NorAm Armed Forces has ordered 5500. So far all the other orders are from Europe."

"Good. Have the first 40 units shipped direct to Burundi."

"Burundi Sir?"

"Just do it Pete. I'll explain when you are here next week okay."

"Yes Sir. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies," he laughed.

"Has Darrel and Jed confirmed they will be traveling with you?"

"Yes Brin, also their boyfriends and body guards. It looks like we may need to use one of the A320's."

"No problem."

"You know where I am I presume?"

"Yes Sir. Our refueling point in Israel."

"Well close. But that is where you will fly into. See you in a week Pete. Now connect me with Gordon."

"Forty Ninth Battalion, Colonel Mayes Sir."

"What's your status Geordie."

"Hot to trot Sir. Were at full strength and all training has been completed Brin."

"Geordie you will be replacing the 15th in Burundi. However I want you to be equipped as if you were going to Chad."

"Heavy Weapons too Brin?"

"Full Combat loads. You will have the new lav 7 as your transport. Make the appropriate preparations."

"Sounds like were going to war Sir."

"You are flying over with Peter next week right."

"Yes Sir."

"I explain my reasons then okay."

"Okay Sir. See you then."

After hanging up I went looking for Ari. I found him in his Command Center.

"Ari, I think we don't have to worry about Jacob and Benji. I heard them talking and I think they both have come to terms with each other."

"I am very, very glad my old friend."

"Including Security, there will be about fifty people coming here next week. Can you handle that or should I arrange accommodation in Tel Aviv."

"Fifty? Bringing your whole company Brin," he laughed

"No problem Brin. This fortress was built to house 300 men."

"Want to join me for an afternoon swim?"

"Yes lets go see how our two young lovers are getting on."

I quickly went to my room and slipped on swim shorts and met Ari on the terrace. The two boys were stretched out on the sand talking. As we approached both got up and ran into our arms. Both looked real happy.

I picked up Benji and kept walking toward the surf as he kissed me and laughed. I waded out into the water and then just dropped him. As he came up sputtering he jumped on my back and I fell into the water. Pretty soon it was Ari and me versus the two young men as they tried to dunk us as many times as they could. We played for over an hour and then walked out and dropped exhausted to the sand.

"Brin Tomorrow I am going to tell you the rest of my story. But I want Jacob and Ari there when I do."

"Are you sure Benji?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I want Jacob to know it all and because he loves Ari as much as you do, I want him to know too."

"Okay my love."

"I like it when you say my love Brin."

As the sun was setting we headed up to the fortress. A long day. Now I was really tired but also very happy. I said my good night to Ari and Jacob and then Benji and I retired. After a good hot shower we went to bed and just held each other as we drifted off to sleep.

We slept very late and after a good brunch went out to the terrace to sit in the sun. I had brought my laptop with me and we waited for Ari and Jacob to join us.

"Are you sure Benji you want both Ari and Jacob here?"

"Yes!"

About fifteen minutes after we were sitting, Ari and Jacob came out and sat down. A servant brought an ice bucket with several bottles of water and beer in it.

"Good morning Brin, Benji. Sleep well?"

After everyone had said there good mornings and everyone was comfortable.

"Are you ready buddy?"

"Yes," Benji said with a slight trembling in his voice.

"Ok. We'll start after you were put in the room with the other boys."

"Well after Jason told me what I was now, I just laid down on one of the beds. After a while the other boys all came over and introduced themselves. There were seven of them altogether and they told me sometimes there were more, but every once in a while one would go to please one of the Sultan's guests and wouldn't come back. It wasn't that bad here in this place. Most of the Sultan's guests were very nice. I ussally had to either suck them off or be fucked by them. Sometimes we just slept together. Sometimes all they wanted to do was suck me off. Some even gave me money, but the guards always took it away after.

I was there for about a month when a young negro boy was brought to the room. He had a huge cock. Well huge compared to all us other boys. He also had a lot of scars on his body, but old scars, like lines and crosses. He said they were ritual scars given to him when he was ten. He was really nice. His name was 'Toma.' He was picked more often than the rest of us when the Sultan had guests. About three weeks after he came to us he never came back from a visit with a guest. I was really sad because I liked him a lot.

One day Jason came in the room with two guards. He picked Timothy and ordered him to lie on the bed cause he wanted to fuck him. When Timothy was slow to comply he ordered the guards to hold him down and then he whipped him with a belt. After he had whipped him he then shoved the handle of a broom up his ass until he started to bleed. Timothy was screaming and crying. After he started to bleed from his ass the guards dragged him from the room. We never saw him again.

About three months after I was in the Boy Toy room as we called it I was sent to please a very old guy. He said he wanted to fuck me, but he wanted me to get him hard first. I tried and tried to get him hard but I just couldn't do it. He was very mad and sent me away. I was worried because I hadn't pleased him and knew I was in trouble with the Sultan.

Nothing happened for about a week and then I was taken to a room along way from the Boy Toy room. When I entered there were all kinds of rings and stuff bolted to the walls and ceiling. The guards stripped me and tied me to two rings hooked into the ceiling. I was getting very scared. After they left a huge black man walked in. He was wearing just leather shorts and I could see a huge cock in them. I hadn't noticed but the rings I was tied to had a chain hoist that allowed me to be lifted up off the ground or lowered. He lowered me down and then removed his shorts and forced me to suck him off. He was so big that I choked as he pushed his long cock deep into my throat. I thought at one time it was all the way into my stomach it was so long. After he came, I was very hard. He laughed at that and pulled a short piece of raw hide from a pouch that he had. It was only about 4 inches [10 cm] long until he dipped it in water and then it stretched to about 12 inches [30 cm]. While it was wet he tied it around my ball sack and cock really tight. He then hoisated me off the floor.

«You are here to be punished for not pleasing one of the Sultan's guests. The Sultan has said I can do anything I wish with you.»

He put cuffs on both my ankles and tied them to rings on the floor, so my legs were spread apart. He picked up a bat from the table that was in room. He swung it and hit my ball sack as hard as he could. I passed out after the third hit on my sack.

When I woke up I was still hanging from the ceiling. My balls felt like they were on fire and my cock was hurting too. When I looked down I could see my cock was very hard and purple. He lowered me down until I was kneeling on the floor and then shoved his cock into my ass. He fucked me for along time and then after he came I had to suck his cock to clean it. He then pulled me back up until my feet were off the ground and started to whip me with a long leather belt. I don't remember passing out, but must have because when I awoke I was laying on a cold stone floor. I hurt all over, but mostly my balls and cock hurt the worst. I felt a hand on my shoulder as I laid on the floor.

«Benji, Benji, it's me Toma.»

«Toma? Toma where am I?»

«You have to trust me Benji. You have a piece of rawhide tied around your cock and balls and if we don't get it off soon you will die. Move your hands away.»

He then pissed on my cock and balls. The piss hurt really bad and I screamed and tried to get away, but he just held me down. He started to play with my cock and balls, at least that is what I thought. After about five minutes he said there now. He held up a piece of wet rawhide. The release of my cock and balls hurt worse than when they were tied. I just cried and held onto my cock and ball sack. My balls were really big. But they were so painful, I just laid there on the floor and cried. Toma laid down beside me and just held me. He was so nice, he helped me stay warm too."

I looked at Jacob and Ari as Benji paused. Jacob was openly crying and Ari had a look of such hate and disgust that he would probably turn one to stone if you looked into his eyes.

"I don't know how long I laid there on the floor with Toma but, some guards came over to the cell and put a big bowl of food into the cell and a large pitcher of water. It woke us up as they opened the cell. When I sat up I saw that there were about 30 boys in the cell. It was huge, but no mats, just bare floor, a hole in one corner, I found out was used to piss and shit in. All the boys were either nude or in tattered shorts and t-shirts. Toma was nude like me. I wrapped my arms around him. I liked him so much. I'm sorry Brin I liked to suck on Toma's cock and I liked it when he fucked me."

"There's nothing to be sorry about Benji."

"After several hours a guard came to the cell. He pointed at one of the boys and the boy came over to him and kneeled down. The guard pulled out his cock and the boy sucked him off. This happened about 20 or 30 times a day. I remember Jason saying that if I didn't please the Sultan's guests I would be sent to please the guards. At one point Toma and I were taken from the cell, allowed to shower and clean up and then were taken and tied down over a leather saw horse in the guards mess hall. For several hours we were either fucked or had to suck off any guard that wanted us. Later we taken back and put back in the cell. After a long time there were about 60 boys in the cell and it was really crowded. One day about 50 of us were herded out of the cell. We were allowed to shower and then given cutoff pants and t-shirts. Then we were manacled together. Toma and I were manacled together at our ankles. We were taken up and loaded on covered trucks.

The ride in the truck was very long and very hot. We were unloaded into a warehouse. A man, white I think stood on a platform in front of us.

«If you cooperate your journey will be bearable. If you don't you will be food for the fishes.»

I didn't know what he meant. How could we not cooperate, we were chained together. After dark we were loaded onto a ship. Our chains were removed and we were locked in a hold. There was a bathroom for us to use and bunks to sleep on. There was also about a hundred other boys in the hold already. Toma and I found a bunk and just climbed in. We held onto each other hoping that we could always be together. One of the boys that were already there tried to grab me and pull me away from Toma. He got a black eye for his trouble. After that everyone just left us alone. I guess I loved Toma. No I know I loved Toma."

I looked up at Benji and he crying openly. I got up and pulled him into my arms. He wrapped himself around me and just cried. Jacob was crying in Ari's arms and Ari was seething with hate and disgust.

"We'll stop here love."

"No please Brin I want to tell you all."

"Benji we'll stop here. We have all week to talk. Besides I'm not sure your new found friends can handle it or me for that matter."

"Okay. Tomorrow?"

"Yes we can go again tomorrow."

Mike walked out onto the terrace.

"Message for you Sir."

It was from the Sultan of Burundi, welcoming me on my inspection tour and offering to accommodate me in the palace while I'm there.

"Mike, check the arrival date of the new lav's in New Babylon and the status of the forces in Burundi.

"Yes Sir." he walked away.

"Benji as much as I would now like to take you to bed and I'm sure Ari would love to make love to Jacob, I need to talk to Ari alone. I know how your now feeling, but I need some time."

"Brin as you say we have our whole life ahead of us. I can wait. But you'll be sorry later," he smiled with a mischievous grin.

Jacob pulled away from Ari and wrapped Benji in a hug.

"Now I'm envious of Jacob," Ari said.

"Well maybe we can switch partners," I laughed.

"Not going to happen. Or I'll cut your balls off," Benji laughed.

"Ouch! Guess we can't switch Ari."

"How about I take Brin to bed Jacob."

"Only if you let me take Benji to bed and then you want to sleep on the couch for the next five or six years."

"Double ouch."

"Well lets leave this subject alone. I laughed again.

"Jacob and I are going to have a long shower together and we'll discuss your proposal. But don't get your hopes up. I love you too much Brin."

The two boys arm in arm walked away.

"As much as I would like to sleep with you Ari, I love Benji too much. I would never betray the trust he has in me."

"Brin, I only said to lighten up the mood. I love you old friend, more than anything else in the world. But the love I see in you and Benji even surmounts all that I could give. I love Jacob more than I can describe but I think I love you more. No I know I love you more."

"Thanks Ari. But I don't know why."

"Brin you have so much love in your soul that you seem to glow sometimes. Every one of your 165,000 men and women love you with passion that is beyond most mortal men. Maybe you really are God."

"Bullshit. I'm not God, I'm just a man."

"True. But you're a man with the largest Para-Military Security force in the world, equipped with the latest equipment and loved by all your employees and even loved by people that don't even know you. You command more respect than even the President of NorAm and he has the only Super Power Force left in the world."

"Remember Ari Power Corrupts, Absolute power Corrupts Absolutely."

"I don't want power. I just want to live and enjoy life. With Benji."

"Well Brin weather you want it or not, you already have the power and all that comes with it. I don't envy you my friend. I just want to be part of your life. The last time you visited was over three year ago. My love for has never changed. I loved you then and I love you now. "

"Of course if you have an extra two or three million you don't need I could finish restoring my fortress home." He chuckled.

"Two or three million that's it," I laughed.

"Got a phone nearby."

"I was only kidding Brin."

"Ari do you have a phone?"

As much as they were a connivance, cell phones were not very secure. The new arrays set up in NorAm could monitor all cell phone calls world wide. So most calls were now made by tie lines, connected by satellite. And all those calls were encrypted.

Ari handed me a telephone handset.

After being connected to Tel Aviv, I got Edmonton on the line.

"Intersec Edmonton Sir."

"This is Commander Sadac, connect me with Finance."

"Yes Sir."

"Finance Malcolm Pratt here Sir."

"Malcolm, I want you to transfer 30 million dollars to Swiss National Bank account number Z7W1913603157-053, in the name of Ari Ben Israel. I need it done today. Any problems."

"No Sir. I confirm 30 million Dollars to Account # Z7W1913603157-053, Ari Ben Israel. Swiss National."

"Good thanks Malcolm." I hung up.

"Brin are you out of your fucking tree."

"What no comments on how I knew your numbered account in Switzerland, or even a thanks my old friend."

"Brin I was only joking."

"I'm not Ari, I need your help. It's probably going to cost big bucks. I'm just making sure you have the money available to help. The money will be your account later today. Thirty million is pocket change to me. I'd spend 100 or even 1 billion to bring this Sultan down."

"Okay Brin. What do you want for 30 million dollars. I will tell I will not compromise my country, nor will I compromise the peace we have with our neighbors'. So what do you want?"

"I have a plan Ari."

"Talk to me Brin. I didn't spend the best part of my life as a soldier and not learn anything."

"First I have notified the 49th Battalion that they are going to Burundi as the new security force."

"Brin if I remember right, the 49th Battalion, is the old Loyal Edmonton Regiment. They are a combat unit, not a Security Unit."

"True. Also the first 40 lav 7's are being dispatched to Burundi. I have also accepted an invitation, no date set to see the Sultan while I'm on an inspection tour of the middle east units. I also plan to visit Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen."

"What your saying then is you will have in country 600 plus men, 15 tanks, 60 APC's half of which will be combat troops."

"Yes."

"So what do want from me?"

"First and foremost, I want those two Para-Brigades. I also want some commandoes to blow up the power station in Burundi City. Not to destroy it, but to cut the power temporarily. I also want the full might of the idf to back me up after I have taken the country."

"You ask a lot my friend."

"Only asking as one friend to another."

The first two I can guarantee. The latter, I'm not sure. Israel will only go to war if an Israeli national is in jeopardy."

"Is Jason an Israeli national?"

"Jesus! Excuse my language Brin. I never thought of that."

"Would your Prime Minister go to war for a single man."

"It's been done before but he was a an important man."

"Yes the incursion into Kampuchea to rescue Simon Wetzel from the rebels. Your country took a lot of hits in the UN. You justified it by the statement that Israel would go into any country to help a citizen."

"Now will they help liberate Jason, the brother of your lover and partner for life.

"I don't know Brin."

Chapter 12

"I don't know, I just don't know. But I will find out discreetly of course."

"Thanks Ari, that's all I can ask."

"What are going to do after you take Burundi. Have you thought of that?"

"I'm not sure, but I know the Sultan won't be around to kidnap and abuse young kids anymore. I may ask the UN to take it on as a UN Trust Territory."

"Speaking of the UN, what do you think they will do when you breach your contract in Burundi and take over the country. They will think you money and power has unbalanced you."

"Not if I have evidence of the Sultan's practices. I think I will have them on my side then."

"We'll see, we'll see," was all he said

Benji didn't tell anymore of his story for the next two days. We just relaxed, soaked up the sun and swam in the sea.

I didn't see Ari on either Sunday or Monday and when I enquired was met with stony silence. On Tuesday morning after breakfast Ari walked into my room unannounced. Lucky Benji and I were fully dressed. If he had walked in sooner he might have saw more than he bargained for.

"I knew were dressed Brin, so I wouldn't catch you in a compromising position, not that I would compromise you. He laughed

"And how would you that Ari?"

"The security camera, up there above the bed. It points into the room, but not at the bed."

"Jesus I never even noticed that. Making porn movies as a side line Ari?" I laughed

"No, no, no Brin. It only points at the room. I will have it turned off okay."

"It's okay Ari. I was only joking. You can leave it on and maybe Benji and I will give your security men a real show." I laughed again and Benji giggled.

"That's not that funny Brin."

I walked over and wrapped Ari in a bear hug.

"Ah Ari! The look on your face was priceless. I just couldn't help myself old friend."

"Now the reason you barged into my bedroom unannounced?"

"I need to talk to you right away and it can't wait."

"Be right back buddy." I said to Benji.

"I'm going for a swim with Jacob. I promised him yesterday." Benji said.

"Okay buddy see you in a while."

"I would like to finish more of my story today Brin."

"If that's what you want then that's what we will all do."

We walked out of my room and then down to his office. He walked in and picked a green phone with no dial.

"Ari Ben Israel," was all he said.

He then handed the handset to me and left his office and closed the door.

Before I could speak.

"Shalom Commander Sadac."

I recognized the voice immediately.

"Shalom Mr. Prime Minister."

"I understand you have problem, which could possibly become my problem. Before you answer, I will say this. Israel has in the past gone to War for a single person. But the question is will we do so again for a boy. Now my opinion is that the age of the citizen is of no importance, but are you sure he wants to rescued."

"No Mr. Prime Minister I'm not. And in fact he probably doesn't. But on the other hand he was kidnapped and forced into his situation as it now stands. And although I don't really care if he wants to be rescued or not. I am only sure of one thing. I'm going to destroy this trade in young girls and boys one way or another, with or with out your help Sir."

"Commander, if and when you take over the country of Burundi, you will have the full weight of the idf backing you up. It may cost me my position, it may bring my government down, but I am going to back you 100%."

"Thank you Sir."

"Ari knows my wishes. You have a good holiday. Shalom Commander."

He hung up before I could say another word.

I walked out of the office and up to Ari's sitting room. I poured a glass almost full of scotch and wandered out onto the terrace and sat down. God what a can of worms I'd opened up. Ari walked out onto the terrace as I sipped on the scotch.

"Drinking before noon Brin. That's not like you. Troubled my friend?"

"Am I getting in over my head Ari. Am I doing the right thing?"

"Yes you are doing the right thing. If it had been Jacob that I had found half frozen, I would have already brought this monster down. As for over your head, maybe a little, but with me and Sir Thomas and all the other brilliant people in your employ we can plan this correctly."

Just then Benji ran up onto the terrace. As soon as he saw me his face lit up in that wonderful smile. He ran over and planted a very wet kiss on my lips and then sat in my lap. Looking at his smiling face I knew I was doing the right thing and just looked up at Ari and nodded.

"Damn your getting me all wet Benji. I might have to paddle your bottom when I get you alone."

"You promise," he giggled and rubbed his bottom deeper into my crotch.

"Now I'll have to go change."

"Do you still want to tell more of your ordeal Benji?"

"Yes Brin. And I want Jacob and Ari to listen too. If they want."

"Lets make it after lunch Brin."

"Sounds good. You okay with that Benji."

"Yes."

"Now I need to go change and wash this salt off."

When Benji stood up there was no way to hide the bulge in my wet shorts. Ari just laughed along with Jacob and Benji. I could feel my face getting flushed.

Benji grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"Your all just jealous," he giggled.

I don't think Ari or Jacob heard him as they were kissing each other like it was their last day on earth. I was really glad for Ari. Jacob was a very nice looking young man and I could tell of the love between them.

Benji and I went down to our room and as soon as the door closed I pulled his wet trunks down and swallowed his cock all the way down my throat. I sucked him as hard as I could running my tongue up and down his shaft and then around the head. All at once he pulled my head all the way onto his cock as he exploded into my throat. You'd think he hadn't got off for a month, knowing I'd sucked him off not two hours before, the way he came.

Benji backed away from me turning his pert ass in my direction.

"You promised to paddle me Brin."

I pulled my t-shirt off and undid my shorts and let them drop.

"There's something better I want to do to that pert butt of yours."

I grabbed him and wrestled him to the floor. I lifted his legs up and ran my tongue into the crack of his ass. Slathering it with saliva as I rimmed his cute butt. I lined up my raging cock on his entrance and then just shoved it all the way in. A brief look of pain crossed his face at my entrance, but was quickly replaced by one of pure rapture. I then started to fuck him real slow. Pulling slowly out and then sliding slowly back in. Faster, harder he kept saying, but I continued my slow assault on his ass. I could feel his internal muscles tightening around my cock each time I entered deep into him. I knew I was getting very close so I pulled back and just held my cock just inside him. As I felt myself cumming I drove as hard as I could deep into his anal canal and blasted my cum deep inside him. As I came he too shot his load onto his chest and face. I collapsed on top of him and licked some of the cum off his face as my cock slowly deflated.

"Wow!!!! Wow! That was the best ever Brin. I came without even touching myself."

My cock slipped out of his ass and he pushed me over and dove down onto my soft cock. He licked and sucked it totally clean.

"Mmmmm, that tasted good. Brin you really taste good."

I glanced over at my bedside clock. Jesus only 30 minutes had passed and I was totally spent. Well a cold shower would wake me up. I pulled Benji up and we walked into the bathroom. I turned on just the cold water and then pulled Benji in with me. He yelled as the cold water hit his back and tried to jump out. I held onto him as I turned on the hot tap. After the water warmed we washed each other. I looked down and his cock was already hard as a shaft of steel. Damn he could recover fast. I turned around and leaned over.

"Take me now Benji. I need you inside me as much as you do."

He pushed me down to my knees, lined up his cock and pushed at my entrance. I squeezed my ass muscles tight so he had to force it in. Once he was in he pounded my ass as hard and fast as he could. Driving his cock deep into and then out only drive as hard as he could back in. It went on and on, my own cock was now hard as he fucked me like a demon possessed. I felt him coming inside me but he continued to pound in and out of my ass. He really seemed to be possessed. At long last he just stopped pulled out and sat back. When I turned around he was crying silently. I pulled him into my arms and held him.

"What's up buddy. You okay?"

"I'm sorry Brin, but I was remembering some things when I was fucking you and I just wanted to hurt you. I'm sorry but some things keep coming back."

"Benji. I love you with every thing within me. You can do anything you wish with me. I won't stop loving you ever. EVER! I hope some day we can look back on this time and say did this really happen, it must have been a dream."

"I love you too Brin. I would die without you. I would just die."

He was now crying harder as I held him. Deep down sobs of real sorrow. The memories coming back from his past. All I could do was hold him and let him cry.

By the time we finally left the shower we looked like prunes. I laughed at the wrinkles on his hands and face. He laughed when he looked at me. We went out and laid on the bed and just hugged and kissed. Both of us were now totally sated from our love making. When I looked at the clock I realized we had been in the shower for over an hour. Wow, no wonder we felt like wet rags. I climbed out of the bed and started to dress.

"Come on lover. If I'm going to keep up with you I need some food other than your young sperm. Not that I don't love it."

"Yeah I guess I'm hungry too."

I pulled out a pair of shorts, looked at them and then thought fuck it. I grabbed one of the tight pair of jeans Mike had bought me in Bern with Benji's help. No shorts, just the jeans. Benji saw what I was putting on and copied me with one of his more tighter jeans. I had to admit they did feel good without underwear. He came up after we were dressed and kissed me lightly.

"You look good enough to eat Brin in those jeans."

"Later love and you can eat your fill."

"Well you better eat lots at lunch and dinner cause it takes a lot to fill me up." He giggled.

Was I ever going to be able to keep up with this kid. He seemed to have an insatiable desire for more and more sex in any form.

Now both dressed to kill, as in turn any gay head in the room, we headed out for lunch. I grabbed my laptop as we left. Lunch was good, fried chicken, potatoes, corn on the cob, and strawberry pie for desert. None of it Kosher. Yet I watched as the security force ate as heartily as we did. Curious.

When we were finished we headed up to Ari's sitting room. Ari and Jacob were in a lip lock when we walked in.

"Can I have some of that Ari?" Benji asked.

"No you may not. He's mine all mine and you can't have him."

"It's not him I want. It's you." he giggled.

This time it was Ari who turned a little red.

I just laughed.

"Damn Benji you keep surprising me all the time. But like I said I have only a few loves. I love Brin first, Jacob second and you third. So you see it could be along time before I have time for you." he said in total seriousness.

Then Benji said something that really turned me around.

"Jacob an I discussed our conversation on Saturday. We decided that if you and Ari agree we would love to switch partners for one night. So you see Ari I want to make love to you and Jacob would love to sleep with Brin. But only if you both agree and it is for one night only. I love Jacob because he loves you Ari. I don't want to make love to him. I want to love his lover. Jacob feels the same way. He loves me because you love Brin. I know you do deep down Inside. A deeper love than either of us Jacob and me combined. He wants to able to say that now he knows why you love Brin so much, that he is only second in your thoughts. I love you all equally, except I love Brin a bit more equally."

Wow! Now what? Damn for a 17 year old male he was mature in many ways that made me look like a babe in my mothers arms.

Ari was speechless.

"Can we talk about this later boys." I said

"NO!" chorused both Benji and Jacob.

"And the consequences? If we don't agree," Ari intoned.

"I won't marry you Brin." Benji said.

"I'll never want to see you again Ari." Jacob said.

Now I was the one devastated, to not have my love for all time. I couldn't handle it and turned and ran from the room. I bounced off walls as I ran, not knowing where I was or even knowing where I was going. I found myself at the same place I had heard Benji and Jacob talking. I looked out over the Blue green Mediterranean. How had I come to this. I loved Benji and would anything to make him happy. I loved Ari, I guess I even loved Jacob, but I had never in my wildest dreams thought that I might lose Benji for such a simple request. Simple HA! I had vowed to never love anyone else as long as he was in my life.

"Brin?"

I turned and Ari was standing not five feet (1.5 meter) away.

"I come to this place when I need to think. It is so beautiful looking out to sea."

"Ari I, I?"

"Brin I have agreed to take Benji into my bed. I can not jeopardize the love between you too. I would move mountains for you my friend. I will move mountains for you. Will you take my Jacob to your bed?"

"Ari I vowed never to sleep with another man as long as I had Benji."

"What would you do to keep Benji?"

"Anything! Anything."

"Then I think you must take my love to your bed. He likes to suck and loves to get fucked, but he is only a bottom. He won't fuck you Brin."

"How did we get into this situation. I love Benji with all that I have. He is a brilliant star in my heaven."

"In future my friend we can not joke around with these two young men."

"Okay, I agree. But only for a night. I'm sorry Ari."

"Sorry. What are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry I'm going to make love to my best friends lover. I'm sorry that I can't get out of this. I'm sorry I ever came here for a visit. I'm sorry that my love has put me in this position. I'm just sorry."

"Well how about we turn the tables just a little."

"What do you mean?"

"WE both agree, but under one condition. We all sleep in my huge bedroom on my king sized bed."

"Yes! That's good. Lets go tell them of our decision."

In the back of my mind was the fact that I would really like Ari's cock too. Now with everyone in the same bed it might just happen. I'm sure it was in Ari's mind too.

Thinking about it as we walked back down to the sitting room I wished that Peter was here too. I liked his big 8 inch [20 cm] cock in my ass as well.

When we arrived at the sitting room the boys were in deep conversation.

"We agree on one condition." Ari said

"What condition?" Jacob said

"We all sleep in my room on my large bed." Ari said.

"Okay that's okay, but Jacob has said he is only a bottom type, he doesn't like to fuck. So Brin or Ari or both are going to have to fuck us both. I want Ari in my ass and Jacob wants Brin in his, but you two can also play around if you want. I also want to suck off Jacob and Ari and you my love."

"Anything you want lover." I said.

"Cool," they both chorused.

Benji got up, came over and kissed me and picked up my laptop.

"Now I want to continue with my story."

Ari picked up a phone and ordered some cold drinks to be delivered to the terrace.

We went out to the terrace and sat down, Jacob sat very close to Ari, with his hand in his lap.

Benji sat down and just looked at me.

"I love you Brin."

"I love you to Benji, more than life itself."

After the drinks were delivered and we were alone.

"Okay Benji you were on board a ship. Do you know its name?"

"No Brin. Well Toma and I were left pretty much alone. After he punched a few of the older boys out. After seemed like days we were allowed on deck. But it was only to chip paint and work on the ship. It wasn't a big boat. Maybe 150 ft [45 meter] long. It was slow though as we seemed to stay in one place. The crew took advantage of the young men, forcing them to either suck them off or take there cocks up their ass. I never had to do it but Toma was always being picked on. They laughed when he got hard after either sucking some sailor or being fucked by them. He just took it in stride, almost as if he was immune to there abuse. He helped me keep my sanity on the ship. Every time we came close to a docking place we were put back into the hold. At each place we stopped more men were put in the hold. Now there was about 200 hundred boys and young men in the hold. Toma fought like a demon to prevent me from being raped by some of these men.

I always let him fuck me when he needed to. I sucked him off almost daily. I loved him Brin as much as I love you. Then we were told our next stop would be our home for the rest of our lives. It seemed like for ever until one day we docked. All the other times when we docked it was at night. This time it was broad daylight. We were herded up on deck and then paraded off the ship. We were forced to walk several miles to a fenced enclosure. Inside I saw many huts, like grass shacks, we were paraded inside and unchained and assigned cages. Just four walls of bars with a covered roof. I was separated from Toma and never saw him again. I cried when they pulled us apart. I was shoved into a cell, ordered to strip off my t-shirt and cut off pants. When I hesitated the guard stroked my back with a prod. The pain was immediate and very intense.

«Strip or do you want more slave,» was all he said.

I undressed quickly, so conditioned now to do anything I was asked.

«Keep your hands at your side. They need to see what you have to offer.»

Who I didn't know. But I watched as men and women walked along the line of cages. Some looked in at me and then just carried on. I looked out and could see some of the boys and men being taken from the cages and disappearing into the crowd of people. None of them picked me. After several hours the crowd thinned out and then I saw a really big man walking down the line of cages. He would stop at each one and say a few words then walk on. When he came to mine he ordered the door opened and walked in. He fingered my balls and then put a finger in my ass. I got real hard.

«Please Sir,» was all I got out when a bull whip wrapped itself around my body.

«Speak only when spoken to boy.»

I almost fainted from the pain. The tip of the bull whip had connected with my hard cock and left a deep bleeding welt.

«Sale,» was all he said as he exited my cell.

I was allowed to relax then. Food and water was brought to my cell. I was also given a blanket to cover me. I was there for three days. On the fourth day I was dragged chained to a room.

My chains were hooked to a ring in the wall. A man walked into the room. Suck me he said. I knelt down in front of him, undid his pants and took his cock into my mouth. He came really quick and then slapped me across my face so hard I fell to the floor. He reached down and grabbed my balls and squeezed really hard. When I screamed he just said good, still sensitive. He left and a little later a guard walked in and dragged me from the room. A man came in and injected something into my arm. The next thing I remember is being on an aircraft. The man that I had sucked off was sitting close by. He reached over and grabbed my ball sack again and just squeezed. When I started screaming in pain he just said good.

«What's your name boy?» he asked.

«Benji Sir.»

«Well Benji. I now own you. I can do anything I wish to you and no one will ever know. You will service my guests. You will submit to anything they ask. If you don't I will slice those young balls off you an let you watch as I cook them and eat them. Then I might cut out your heart. You will die in pain, I can assure you. For ten thousand dollars you will make me happy or else…»

When the plane landed I heard a man say «back to the mansion Senator or to the country house?»

«The country house first, he's not yet ready for the mansion.»

I was stuffed into the trunk of a car and I was there for a long time. When I was released from the trunk of the car I was dragged in and strapped to an X frame in a room. A little while later a very young man walked in.

«Hi my name is Steven. Your name is Benji. The Senator likes boys who can endure lots of pain. His guests like to torture young boys. So I'm going to torture you to build up a resistance to the pain you will feel later, I love my work. I love to inflict pain and other stuff. Benji you are no longer a boy or even a human being. You are just an object to receive pain.» "

I looked at Benji, he was shaking all over and tears were streaming down his face.

"Come here love."

He jumped into my arms and I just held him as he cried his eyes out.

"Enough, enough for now, enough for now." I comforted his trembling body.

Ari was holding onto Jacob like a man possessed.

I stood up with Benji in my arms and walked over and then down the steps to the beach. I caressed him and kissed him and just held him.

"Are you okay buddy?"

He looked up at me with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Brin, but I need to continue. I need to tell you all."

"We can wait a day Benji."

"NO! no, I need to tell you now. I need to finish."

"I don't know Benji. Your still shook up from what you have said just today."

"Please Brin. Please."

I knew how much this was hurting him inside. I also knew what Jed had told me. He had to tell his story to begin the real healing process in his mind. As long as he held it in he would hold onto the memories.

"Okay Benji. Lets go talk to Ari and Jacob."

This was hurting me inside as much as Benji. The more he talked the madder I got. The more hate I felt toward these monsters. Hate can be a mind killer, or my case I may become a killer of these men. In fact I knew I was going to kill them all one way or another.

We walked back up to the terrace. Ari was sitting alone crying. I could tell because I could see his shoulders heaving with deep down pain. I walked over to him and pulled him up into my arms. Now I was the one supporting my friend. He just continued to cry.

"Ari. Ari its okay."

"No Brin it is not okay. To think that people can think and act in this way not okay. They should all be exterminated."

"Easy Ari, your beginning to think like some people of the past."

He stiffened in my arms and then pulled away.

"You think, you think?"

"No Ari I don't think that way at all. I have read history. I know the Story. I know we need to destroy this barbarous trade. But as I was already thinking, I don't think I can allow any of these monstrous men to live ."

"I'm sorry Brin. It's just that Benji's story is so unreal and yet rings so true, that I feel helpless."

"Well I hope your okay because Benji wants to continue now."

"Now?"

"Yes Now."

"I need a drink first."

"Bring me one too Ari."

I sat down at the table and handed Benji a can of soda.

"Can I have a glass of Scotch Brin?" he said.

"Really?"

"Please Brin."

"One Scotch coming right up lover."

I yelled for Ari to make it three.

Ari walked out with three glasses of Scotch.

"Who's the third one for Brin?"

"Benji."

He didn't say anything. Just set the drinks down and then sat down.

"Where's Jacob?" Benji asked.

"I'll tell him later Benji. He can't handle the feelings within himself as he listens."

"I'm sorry I hurt him Ari."

"You didn't hurt him Benji. He feels your hurt and has gone to pray for you."

"Well I hope someone prays to God for me before this is all over." I said.

"But you are already a God Brin, you just don't know it yet." Ari laughed.

"You are my God already Brin. Benji said.

"I'm not a God, I'm just a man. Damn it."

We all sat back with each of us in thought and sipped the drinks. Benji made a face when he took a drink, but never said anything. Finally Benji said.

"I ready now Brin."

"You sure lover."

"Yes!" as took another sip, no face this time.

"Steven walked up to me and grabbed my cock and just pulled on it. Stretching it away from my body. I screamed in pain, but he continued to twist and stretch it. He let it go and then balled his fist and punched me low in my belly. As I was gasping for air he hit my ball sack. I wanted to curl up in a ball. It hurt so much. He walked over to a machine in the room. I saw lights, light up and then he walked back and had a sort of brush in his hand. He dipped it in a pail of water and then pushed it into my ball sack. As it touched my balls I felt a searing pain extend up from my balls into my body. The pain was beyond anything that had happened to me before. He only held it there a few seconds. When he pulled it back the pain stopped almost instantly.

«t;You see he said. I like to hear you scream. The Senator doesn't want you permanently injured. You can't make money for him if your injured. This brush I used has only about .5 amps running though it. But the voltage is about 300. It hurts, it makes you scream. But no damage.»

Next he pulled a pin on the X frame and lowered me to a position where I was laying flat. He picked up a belt and started to whip me with it. He continued for over 10 minutes cover my body from my chest to my feet. He paid particular attention to my cock. I think I must have passed out from the pain, because I remember getting doused in water. I woke up screaming."

As Benji paused I looked at him. He had a look of pure hate on his face and he was gripping the glass with a clinched fist. I noticed the glass was empty. I looked at Ari and indicated Benji's glass. He got up and walked into the sitting room and returned with the bottle. He poured a liberal amount into all of our glasses and sat down. Before Benji continued Jacob came out and sat down. I don't think Benji even saw him.

"Steven continued to torture me for about ten days. He did different things. Like putting electrodes into my cock or up my ass. He put metal clips on my tits and on my balls. Sometimes he just hung weights to them. Sometimes he put an electric charge through them. All the things he did hurt so much I just screamed and screamed. When I was left alone at night I cried my self to sleep. How did I end up here I wanted to know. About ten days after I was at the Farm as they called it, The Senator came down and watched as Steven tortured me. I heard him say «Looks good Steven, have him moved to the mansion.»

Before I was taken to the mansion, Steven made me suck him off and then fucked me. It hurt a lot when he fucked me because it had been awhile since anyone had done it. The last one was Toma. They had me shower and then shaved my balls, cock and ass. They gave me some nice clothes and then chained me in a limousine. The windows were darkened so nobody could see in but I could see out. The trip lasted about two hours. It was beautiful country. Farms, big farms with huge houses. Most of the people I saw were white or black. I even saw police cars on the road and big transport trucks. The highways were very busy."

"Benji, you mentioned police vehicles. Do you remember what was written on them?"

"Mostly they were State Police or Highway Patrol." Benji said.

"Did you see any flags on the cars?"

"No but, they all said written on the side Dial 911 for Emergency."

"Ok bud go on if you want."

"Can I stop now I don't feel so good?"

For the first time in his narrative he wasn't crying. I think the scotch had set into his system.

"Okay lover, we'll stop here for today.

"Jacob will you please take Benji down to our room."

"Yes Brin." He helped Benji up and helped him into the fortress.

I sat thinking about what Benji had just told me.

"This Senator is from NorAm. This senator who likes to torture young boys for profit is from NORAM! THIS SENATOR IS A MONSTER. THIS SENATOR I WILL KILL WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!!" Ari was screaming.

"Ari!"

"NO BRIN. I KNOW! ONLY NORAM HAS A 911 NUMBER FOR EMERGENCIES. I AM GOING TO GET HIM AND KILL HIM."

"Ari. I know that to. But first we have to find him."

Ari jumped up and ran to the parapet over looking the sea. He pounded his hands down again and again on the stone wall. When I saw blood running down the wall I jumped up and grabbed him and pulled him away.

"Ari. Easy my friend."

He wrapped his arms around me and cried like a baby. I just held him as I had held Benji on all the occasions when he had needed to be held. AS my friend now needed.

Chapter 13

"Ari. Easy my friend. We'll find him. I promise. Now relax my friend."

"Thank you Brin. Thank you.

Ari stepped away from me and looked at his hands. He then turned and looked out to sea.

"I have never lost control like that ever. I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me my friend."

"There is nothing to forgive. I am only glad that I was here for you."

We sat back down and I refilled our glasses. We just sat each in our own little world. But even as I thought I knew it was not a small problem we had and at every turn is was becoming more complex. I knew I didn't have the intelligence gathering apparatus that would be needed to find and possibly prosecute all of the people involved in this trade. But who could I turn to. We were interrupted in our thoughts by Mike.

"Sorry to interrupt you Sir, but we just received a communication from the Sultan of Burundi. He would like to increase the number of security troops in his country by almost ten fold. He wants Intersec to deploy a Brigade to Burundi."

"Did he give a reason for his sudden need for a Combat Brigade?"

"He said he has been having trouble with his western neighbor Sudan. Some border incursions and some very large exercises with heavy armor right on his border. He is worried that Sudan might make a play for his oil."

"Ari. Interested in a Contract with Intersec?"

"What do you have in mind my friend"

"I would like you to sign a contract that you will supply two Para-Battalions to the International Security Command for a period of One (1) year. They will accept isc command and control as part of the Third isc Brigade Group."

"This Third isc Brigade Group. Who would be commanding it?"

"Well I was thinking of an old Armored Unit Commander I know. He hasn't commanded a combat unit for a long time, but I have been told he was very good."

"And his name?" Ari asked.

"Ah, Gee, what was it."

"WHO!" Ari yelled.

"Lt. Gen. Ari Ben Israil."

"ME! You want me to command this brigade. If I get in that country I will kill that man."

"Ari. I said under isc command. You will follow my orders. But if you can't then I will ask Sir Thomas to take on the assignment."

"Brin you try me, you really try me."

"Ari. If we want to bring this slave trade down we need information. With you in country and with your connections we can gain valuable information into how this system works. In command of the brigade you will have access to all areas of Burundi. Including their communications and traffic control."

"Of Course Brin this is all contingent on if I can convince the Prime Minister to contract out two of the best Para units in the idf."

"Mike. Send a message to Burundi that I would be interested in such a contract, but has he considered the cost. It will cost him, even if he is supplying all food and fuel at least 15 billion a year."

"Yes sir." and he turned and left.

"Fifteen billion! Brin you really are a capitalist."

"No Ari. I want to see how scared he is."

"Now my friend I need to lay down for a while. I think your cheap scotch is getting to me."

"Cheep Scotch! I paid over 100 euros for that in Paris."

"Ari. Never buy scotch from a Frenchman. Go to Scotland next time and buy real scotch. However my friend it is good scotch." I laughed.

"Brin you always trying me aren't you."

"Just pushing your buttons my friend."

I pulled Ari up and wrapped my arms around him.

"I love you my friend. I always will."

"Me too Brin. Me too."

I went down to my quarters and walked in. Benji and Jacob were asleep on the bed. Not wanting to disturb my love, I turned and walked out. I told the guard that they weren't to be disturbed by any one. "Yes Sir." Was all he said. I wandered up to the sitting room and stretched out on one of the couches and fell asleep.

I woke up abruptly. A bad dream. Now I had a head ache. Too much scotch, starting too early in the day. I glanced at my watch, fuck only 3:30, some holiday this was working out to. I had agreed to sleep with Ari's lover, the man I wanted to arrest and execute wanted more of my security forces, a senator of NorAm was involved in this conspiracy, where would all this end. Getting up I wandered down to the mess hall and grabbed a cup of coffee and then walked into the command center. Mike was on the phone and just acknowledged my presents.

I sat down at one of the many consoles and waited for Mike to finish. After he got off the phone he walked over and sat down.

"The Sultan has accepted your terms. I have ordered the 49th to Burundi. ASAP. Priority One. The Second Armored in Germany is now on alert and as soon as heavy lift aircraft are available will be airlifted in. The only problem at this point is transport and an Artillery Regiment Brin, we don't have one available."

I turned to one of the hovering guards.

"Where is Ari?" I asked

"I believe he is in his quarters Sir."

"Be back in a bit. Thanks Mike. As always your always on the job. God I love you."

"We love you to Sir."

I got up and headed down to Ari's quarters. When I arrived a guard barred my way in.

"He told me, he is not to be disturbed."

"Get out of my way son or you'll wish you'd stayed in bed today."

Never being patient.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY NOW." I shouted.

When he started to move I walked around him and into Ari's bedroom. Ari was asleep on his king sized bed. In no mood now for niceties, I slammed the door. Ari came awake and out of the bed like a spring uncoiling. And with a very large hand gun in his hand. He must sleep with it under his pillow.

"What? What?"

Seeing me he lowered the gun.

"I could have shot you. What do you want? Why have you barged in on me like this Brin?"

Standing before me in only a pair of tight shorts, he looked like a man much younger than his forty seven years. He also had a very big hard on. I could see his long cut cock outlined in the tight shorts he was wearing.

"Just returning the favor my friend." As I walked over and ran my hand over his hard cock.

"You startled me." but he didn't try to stop my hand from wandering around his crotch.

My own cock was now very hard and even though I had made a vow to Benji, I couldn't help myself as I slid my hand in under his briefs. Ari just moaned.

"Are you sure this is what you want Brin?"

"Don't talk, don't say anything."

I slipped his briefs down and knelt in front of him and slipped his hard cock into my mouth. I swallowed all of his 7" [18 cm] straight into my throat. He moaned as I deep throated him and then he pushed me off his cock and pulled me up. He pulled off my t-shirt and undid my jeans. Pushing them down, he freed my raging cock. After I had stepped out of them he turned me around and pushed me to my knees over his bed. Kneeling behind me he just pushed his cock up to my rosebud and then thrust his hard cock into me. He was quite thick and it hurt a lot as he entered me, but once he was in it felt so wonderful. He slowly fucked me with deep long and slow thrusts. God it felt so good. Ari had a lot of staying power and after about 30 minutes I felt his cock unloading into my ass. My own cock was ready to unload as he pulled out, he pushed me over and dove down onto my dripping cock. He just got it in his mouth when I couldn't hold back anymore and blew my load into his mouth and throat.

"Thank you Ari, I needed that."

"I'm sorry Brin, but I have wanted you since the first day we met. Now I am beside myself. I am sorry."

"Don't be sorry Ari. I wanted it too. I've always been a little bit in awe of you since we first met. Then I didn't know you were gay, but when I found out I knew I wanted you, but didn't know how to ask. When I saw your cock hard just now I couldn't resist anymore. I just wanted you. Don't be sorry. It's me who should be apologizing."

"And how will explain this act to Benji?"

"I'll just tell him. I can't and won't keep anything from him. He knew you were gay and I'm sure he knew I wanted to sleep with you. I think really he'll be happy that I have now fulfilled a longing."

"I must tell you Brin that Benji is the best thing that has ever happened to you. Even though he has a lot of baggage, you are a better man and he is the most wonderful person I have ever met. Such courage should be rewarded. I think you have awarded him in better ways than any medal would ever do. I am sorry but I guess I'm in love with him too."

"Ari Benji has enough love in him for the whole world. I just hope I can make him happy, always."

"Brin he worships the ground you walk on. We all do, even my own security. You exude an aurora that makes people want to love you. You say you are not God, but to all who know you, you are God to them. Such devotion is astounding. Even I would gladly walk into hell for you and I will. I will take on the Third isc Brigade Group and follow your orders."

"Well now that we are on that subject, I need an Artillery Regiment. I have only two and they are both committed to Chad. Do you think the Prime Minister might release say the 2nd idf Artillery Battalion to be attached to my third Brigade?"

"Brin the Second is one of only two mechanized artillery battalions in the standing idf Army."

"Yeah I know and their the only one with light artillery."

"You know an a lot about the idf Brin. How do come by your information. It's like you have a spy in our headquarters."

I laughed out loud.

Ari, I can read books too. Jane's All the Worlds Armies, has a very nice right up on the idf. I know the second has 105 mm howitzers mounted on world war 2 Sherman tank bodies. I know they are light and fast. They could easily keep up with the Leopard 5 tanks I plan to send to Burundi."

I saw a real twinkle in Ari's eyes at my mention of the Leopard 5.

"How many tanks do you plan to deploy?"

A full regiment. Fifty four, plus three Leopard 6 command tanks, 40 lav 7, 100 lav 4, 300 plus logistic vehicles and one motorized artillery regiment if I get it."

"And when will this deployment begin?"

"It's already started General. The 49th is loading as we speak. Five c-5 Galaxy transports are enroute to Trenton to transport all 40 lav 7. c-17's are enroute to Germany to start moving the other light equipment. When the c-5's have delivered the lav 7, they will start moving the heavy tanks. I expect to be fully in and ready in five days."

"Five days!"

"Enjoy your honeymoon with Jacob in Burundi my friend."

"But this is not possible. How could you coordinate all this in such short time?"

"I didn't, Mike did."

"But the transport aircraft, I know you don't own any c-5's."

"The President of NorAm, issued an order that I could use any and all of Transport Commands aircraft that were available to move my units to Chad. As most of my heavy units going to Chad are being moved by ROLO ships out of Bremen, I have the use of most of the heavy lift aircraft in Europe and the Continental NorAm."

"Okay."

"And Mike did all this?"

"Yes, in the hour that I was asleep."

"And now friend I'm hungry."

"Well I have something you can eat." Ari laughed.

"Thought you would never ask." as I dived down onto his nice cock.

He rolled into a 69 position and sucked my semi hard cock into his mouth as I deep throated his. I became instantly hard as Ari sucked on my pole. It took a long time for either of us to cumm, but just sucking on him was so enjoyable it didn't matter. After we had both unloaded a second load, we kissed briefly and then dressed and headed for the command center.

Mike was there patiently waiting my return.

"You are a very talented man Mike. I need a Deputy Commander for my new command. I would find it a singular honor if you would accept the post."

Mike looked at me and when I nodded my head yes.

Mike stood up, came to an abrupt attention, saluted and said.

"General, it would be an honor."

"To me Mike, I will always be just Ari. Okay."

"I'm sorry Sir, but I can't do that. You are my General, as Brin is my Commander. I can not easily address him by his name, nor could I address you by your name General. It's just not my way Sir."

"Okay Major General Rarog, To me you will always be Mike. Now I must talk nicely to the Prime Minister."

Ari walked into his office and closed the door.

"Why would he call me Major General sir."

"Mike, he's a Lieutenant General, now a Brigade Commander again. The deputy commander is nominally a Major General, so my ex-Sergeant Major You are now a Major General. Congratulations." Then I laughed out loud.

"Now I want you to do me a favor Mike. I want you to contact that jeweler in Bern and make sure that Ari's rings are ready, pay for them, and make sure they are shipped here by courier. I also want 1500 uniforms and equipment to match them shipped here to outfit the two Para Battalions and the Artillery Regiment. Also they will need under armor and a supply crew to fit them. After you have done this, you will be under the command of Ari Ben Israil for the duration."

"You will always be my Commander Sir."

"I may be your Commander and Ari's, but you can only have one love Mike. That has to be to your boss and your brigade. Your boss is now Ari and your brigade is now the Third isc Brigade Group."

"Yes Sir." Mike said just a little bit sullenly.

"Mike I'm depending on you and Ari. I don't have any command and control experience. I am not a military man. I may command a massive security organization but I don't have the military background to make this work. That is why I have you and Ari. I love you Mike, but you must love your primary job more."

I got up and walked over and wrapped Mike in my arms. He returned the hug with total abandon.

He then stepped away from me.

"By your command, Sir." Standing ramrod stiff and saluting.

I left the command center and went up to the terrace overlooking the Med. The sun felt great and I removed my shirt and sat down to soak up the sun. A few minutes later Benji came out and sat down. He didn't say anything and looked very worried.

"What's the matter Bud?"

"Brin I have to tell you that Jacob and I made love. I'm sorry but it just happened."

"And you worried I might be mad? I have to tell you, my love, that Ari and I also made love. I hope you will forgive me Benji."

The smile that broke out on his face told me more than anything else that our love for each other was still as strong as ever.

"Brin I don't want to sleep with Ari. I only want to sleep with you. Jacob and I cooked up the idea to get you and Ari together. We knew you loved each other, probably with a stronger bond than either of us had with both of you. WE wanted you to be happy. I still love you and will always love you forever."

"Come here my love."

Benji walked over and when he was close enough I pulled into my lap and kissed him with a passion that is beyond words to describe. I loved him so much.

After necking with him for 10-15 minutes we sat back with him still nestled in my lap.

"Have you thought about what you would like give Ari and Jacob for a wedding present?"

"I'd like to get them something, but I don't know what. And here there are no stores or anyplace to find something."

"So lets go to town."

"Really!"

I picked up the phone off the table.

Punched up the security office.

"I need a car to go into Tel Aviv. Minimum security and make sure they are unobtrusive."

"Yes Commander."

"Okay lets go shopping buddy."

I stopped by the Command Center and picked up some credit cards from Mike. He informed me that the 49th was loading and would be enroute in less than an hour. I noted he was now in Desert Camo, including a single star of a Major General.

"You okay with this Mike."

"Oh yes Sir."

"Make sure your dress uniform reflects your new status at our wedding Mike."

"Yes Sir!"

Benji and I walked down and climbed into an armored limo at the gate. Two of my personal security were there in civilian clothes. I knew both were armed. The trip into Tel Aviv, about 30 km [19 miles] north of Ari's stronghold was very good. The fields were in bloom in the spring. Apple, orange, and other trees in full bloom. Israel was a beautiful country. So lush and so peaceful.

We spent several hours as Benji looked for a gift, uncounted stores, he looked at everything. I'd already given Ari what he wanted most in his life. A command. We had almost given up when we walked by a small shop.

"Yes! That's what I want." Benji exclaimed.

I didn't understand what he was looking at, but we went into the little store. A very old, really old man smiled as we entered.

"Shalom. Shalom." Was all he said.

Benji went over to the window display and picked up a necklace. It was two Star of David intertwined in each other. It was made from solid gold.

"Do you have two of these and can you add a heart to the bottom."

"Yes young Sir, but it would be expensive, very expensive."

Benji looked at me.

"Please Brin."

"For you my love there is nothing you can't have."

The old man then looked at me and said.

"Ninety years ago I had a love like yours. But the love I had was taken from me. I spent all those years in that war hoping that he would survive. He didn't. Now I look for the love of my work. Yes young Sir I will add that heart to the pendant."

After the old jeweler had added the heart to the pendants. I pulled out my Amex card.

"No for love like you have these are free."

"I am sorry Sir I can't accept these gifts. Please run my card, you pick the price. For my love there is no price. My love is priceless."

"As mine was Sir."

The old man reluctantly ran my card and punched in a ridiculously low price for the two pendants.

"Sir. I would find it a singular honor if you would be my guest at my wedding on Sunday. I'll send a car to pick you up."

"You honor me Commander."

I was a little taken aback at his address, calling me Commander.

"You know who I am?"

"Your picture has been in every newspaper for the last week Sir."

"I can only hope that you won't tell anyone of our visit to your shop."

"Your secret is safe with me."

We left the shop and headed back to Ari's fortress. It was really astounding to me that the ordinary people I met felt such love for what I was doing. I sat in quiet reflection. I was just an ordinary man. Not some God, not some super being. I was doing what I thought was right.

I grabbed Benji and pulled him into my arms. I just needed to hold him.

Chapter 14

When we arrived back at the fortress, I was informed a NorAm Air Command Executive Jet was being escorted to the idf airbase. The Attorney General and the Director of Homeland Security no doubt. They were early. I hadn't expected them until at least Thursday. I was also informed that Ari had flown to Jerusalem. Benji and I went to our room.

"Well what would you like to do now Benji?"

He just knelt before me and undid my jeans. After sliding them down he took my cock into his mouth and slowly sucked me off. Not hurried like usual, but slow and sensuous. I gently held his head as he slowly deep throated my cock. I let him do all the work, not pushing him or even moving in rhythm with him. It took along while before I felt my self losing control. When I felt myself coming I held him deep in his throat and unloaded. I could feel his throat muscles swallowing and pulling me deeper into him. Even when I was done he still held my cock deep in his throat. When I looked down his face was turning red from lack of oxygen and I pushed him off me.

"Trying to gag to death on my cock Benji? What's the matter my love?"

"If I died sucking your cock Brin I would be in heaven."

"If you died sucking my cock I would be in Hell."

"I especially don't want you to ever die, because then I wouldn't have such a beautiful man at my side. Now get those pants off. I want to return the favor. That's an order Benji Sadac."

"Yes Sir," he threw a mock salute and then proceeded to strip off his clothes.

I pushed him down onto the bed in a sitting position and then kneeled between his legs. I ran my tongue over the head of his cock licking up the precum that was streaming from it. I slowly sucked his nice cock into my mouth and ran my tongue around the corona, eliciting a groan of pleasure from Benji. I then slowly deep throated his great cock, letting it slide deep into my throat. As Benji started to push up to force his cock deeper I used my hands to hold him on the bed. I did exactly as Benji had done to me. Slowing moving my mouth deeper and then pulling back. Each time I came to his head I swirled my tongue around his corona.

"I'm going to cum, Oh Brin I'm coming."

Feeling his cock head swelling, I dove down deep onto his cock and started to swallow. As I started to swallow his cock was pulled deeper into my throat. I felt the hot rush of his young sperm splashing into my throat and continued to swallow. Knowing he would remain hard even after he came, I wondered how long I could keep his cock buried in my throat or how long he would let me. Finally.

"NOOOOoooooo! Please Brin enough." He pushed my head back and collapsed on the bed on his back.

Not wanting to end our love making I pushed his legs up and attacked his hole with my tongue. After really rimming his great entrance, I stood up and leaned over him and then slowly entered him. I used slow long thrust deep into his canal. When I looked at him his eyes were half closed in total rapture. His cock was a ridged pole jutting from his body. I slowly fucked him, deep long, slow thrusts driving all the way into his young ass. It seemed to take forever before I felt my juices churning in my balls. As I started to cumm he reached up and pulled me down over him burying his tongue in my mouth. As I came I felt his own cock spraying his young cum onto our bellies. Now with us both totally spent we just stretched out on the bed and necked.

After about 30 minutes.

"Will you always love me like you just did Brin?"

"Benji I will love you as long as I hold a breath in my lungs and my heart still beats. My love for you has no beginning or end. Forever my love. Forever."

He rolled over and just pulled me into his arms.

"Brin you are my God, My Savior. I love you. I just love you."

"I'm not a God Benji, I'm just a man who loves you dearly. Forever."

"Well I think you are a God and I'm in heaven. Every day Brin."

"Well I think you must be a god to Benji. You have brought light to me. You have given me all of yourself, without reservation. If anyone is a god Benji it's you."

"Your just twisting the words now Brin. I know everyone in your company loves you. Maybe not as I love you, but still they do. I heard some of the guards of Ari's saying they would follow you to hell and back if you asked. Mike loves you more than the world. Ari and Jacob worship the ground you walk on. You are a God to them Brin."

I jumped out of bed.

"NO, I AM NOT A GOD."

I'm just a man Benji. I love you with everything within me. I love Mike, I even love Ari and Jacob. I know the people who work for me have some feelings for me, but that doesn't make me a god. I'm just a man."

Benji saw the tears running down my face. He jumped off the bed and wrapped his arms around me. He held me as I cried. Cried for what I wasn't sure, but I just needed to cry.

"See God's don't cry."

"Come on my love, lets shower and go meet your new guests, or should I say Ari's new guests."

"Think we should dress first?" I laughed.

"Yes Sir in uniform. You are the Commander of the largest Security Company in the World. I think first impressions are important."

"Benji your words astound me more each time I here them. You will make a formidable Deputy to me."

"Deputy? What's that?"

"Benji your collar dogs of your uniform designate you as Deputy Commander of the isc."

"In my absence you are in command."

"But I'm just a boy Brin."

"Never the less Benji, if anything happens to me you are in command."

"But I don't know anything about running your company. I just want to be your lover forever."

"Benji you will always be my lover, I love you more than anyone else in my life. Even Ari, Jacob or Mike or my company. You will be always number one in my life. But with that comes some responsibility. As my first love and only love, you must also love what my company does. We are the line between good and evil. We protect. We stand on the line for others. Like you."

"But how can I be like you. I am just a boy. You command such loyalty from your men and women. How can I step into your shoes and be you."

"Benji all you have to do is believe what you are doing is right."

"Now lets get dressed, and wear your side-arm."

"Yes my love. To protect you is to protect my only love."

We dressed in the black uniform of the day, Polished boots, creased pants, black belt, the standard uniform of the isc, me with Commanders Insignia, Benji with Deputy Commander Insignia, but with a 9mm Glock strapped on.

When we exited our quarters, the guards executed a perfect salute. Our own two guards were dressed in full combat uniforms with helmets. With two of Ari's guards in the lead and two of mine behind we were escorted to the lounge off the Command Center.

When we walked in Steve Kelpert, stood and rushed over to me. He wrapped his enormous arms around me.

"Brin it is a great pleasure to see you again."

"Steve it's nice to see you too."

"Brin I would like you to meet the new Attorney General of NorAm."

"Mohamed Azeri, it's a real pleasure." I said.

"You know him?" Steve asked with an astounded look on his face.

"No but I know of him. The first Moslem to elected to the Senate of NorAm and the first black male to hold the honor of Attorney General. It is a real pleasure to meet you Mr. Attorney General."

"Please I would wish that you call me Mo."

"And Sir you can call me Brin, all my good friends do."

"Agreed. But I would like to discuss some disagreements that have come regarding the young man you rescued in Alberta."

I held up my hand and turned to my security men.

"Lock the room, no enters except Mike or Ari."

"And one of you go to my room and bring my brief case and lap top."

"Yes Sir."

I knew the room we were in wasn't bugged, because I had watched one of my men run a scanner over the room. People said I missed very little in my search for security.

"Mo, I would like you to meet Benji, the young man I rescued barely four weeks ago in Alberta." I indicated the young man standing beside me.

With an astounded look on his face the Attorney General stepped forward and put out his hand.

"It is a real pleasure Benjamin Watson to finally meet you. Would you be willing to talk to me of your experiences."

"NO HE WOULDN'T." I said loudly.

"But, but, I thought the whole purpose of this trip was to finally know the whole story. I need to know all that happened to him in order to start the process of bringing charges against the person or persons responsible for his abuse."

"There are a few details you need to hear first Sir. Benjamin Watson on Sunday will become in law under NorAm, Benjamin Sadac. We are being married. Benji will only relate his story to me and a few friends. I have hard copies of his experiences and a computer log of all he has told me. I also need to tell you that a Senator of NorAm is involved in his abuse. This all has international implications, Turkey, Morocco, Algerians, Burundi and possibly South America. Although I don't know which country in South America is involved."

"I am sorry I didn't relies what was involved here, I understood from the information given to me by my predecessor that it was all recorded."

"Ah you mean that bitch Ms. Bush."

"Well yes Senator Bush related to me the story as she had it. She also said that after she tried to interview Benjamin Watson you ordered the shutdown of all isc operations in NorAm. Effectively shutting down all international airports on the continent. You can't and don't have that authority."

"Mr. Attorney General. Listen very carefully. I command the International Security Command. I control all security at 47 Interport in NorAm. If I feel NorAm is in breach of contract, then I will pull all my security people out of all those airports. Ms. Bush, by issuing a warrant for one of my personal staff was in breach of contract. If you now insist on interviewing Benji I will send you packing too."

"But! But I was hoping to mend some of the breaches in our mutual need to find the truth."

"Well for the moment this meeting is over. I need to think and I also need to talk to some other people. I will give you Benji's story to date in hard copies. Read them carefully. You make your own decisions. But be forewarned. If you or any other Senator is involved in this. I noticed you didn't ever acknowledge the fact that a Senator of NorAm was involved, almost as if you already knew, I will bring everything down. I am going to destroy this trade in young men and women if it costs me my entire fortune."

"Brin please. I know some Senators have particular tastes. All Senators aren't crystal clear. All have something in their closet they like to keep hidden. I believe you. I just need proof."

"And I'll give you proof."

Benji whispered in my ear.

"Brin I believe him and he is very good looking don't you think."

"Always thinking with your body, my love." Then I laughed out loud.

Before any one could ask about my laugh, Ari walked in.

"Shalom Mohamed Azeri."

Shalooom Ari Ben Israel."

"Your still as black as ever Mo."

"And your still as uncouth as ever Ari."

Then they grabbed each other and embraced like long lost friends.

They then stated talking in Hebrew and Arabic. Neither language I could understand.

After several minutes Ari turned and said.

"You are very fortunate Brin. Mo is the only man that can travel in any Moslem country without worry. He has the ear of almost all Arabic or Moslem leaders in the middle east. I trust him completely. If you have some reservations about him you can put them to rest. He is as trustworthy as any man I have met including you Sir."

"If you trust him Ari then I can do no different."

"But I must tell you Mo that you still can't interview Benji."

At that moment one of my security men walked in and handed me my brief case and laptop. Also one of Ari's men walked in and handed him a note. He read it and then held up his hand.

"My apologies Gentlemen, but I have some disturbing news. Sudan has ordered Burundi to stand down it's Army. They have given Burundi 48 hours to comply."

I snapped at one of my security guards.

"Get me the status on the 49th."

"Ari the two Para units, how soon can they be in Burundi?"

"Minimum 18 hours."

"And the Artillery regiment."

"At least 48 hours, we don't have the transport aircraft."

"What's the weight of the Shelton Tank?"

"Twenty two tons, why?"

"There are two c-17 globe masters on the ground here now. There are three more with isc uniforms and body armor due here shortly. They could carry two of your light artillery tanks each. The distance is under 500 miles so the turn around would only be about 4 hours. We could have at least 20 vehicles with crews and munitions in Burundi in less than 24 hours. By then the lav 7's should be in country and the heavy armor lift should be under way."

I turned to Steve and Mo.

"I'm sorry gentlemen for being rude or inattentive to you. But it is imperative that I now prevent Sudan from taking over Burundi. If they do, I may lose any chance of stopping this trade in young men and women."

"Brin I now understand why you have such a powerful corporation. You think faster on your feet than most people do sitting down." Steve said.

"I take it Burundi is the key to this nefarious trade?" Mo said.

"Yes Mo. The sultan is the one that buys and sells boys and girls. He is the one I must have. Through him I plan to find all the other players in this trade. But to do that I must now protect my enemy from Sudan."

"Now gentlemen, Brin and I have a lot of work to do. I will have my men escort you to your quarters. We will get together later for dinner."

I handed Mo the hard copy of Benji's story to date.

"Please read and then maybe you will better understand my position Sir."

We all shook hands before Ari's guards escorted the two men to their quarters.

After they had left, Ari and I walked over to his command center.

Mike saluted us both as we entered the vast command center.

"Get me the CO of the 49th." I ordered.

Ari picked up a phone and started barking orders.

A young man handed me a head set.

"Col Mayes Sir."

"Geordie. Brin. What's your ETA."

"In Israel Sir?"

"No I want you in Burundi ASAP."

"Seven hours Sir."

"Go hard when your on the ground. Hold the airport."

"YES SIR."

"The lav 7's should be arriving shortly after you. Also two Para units."

"Sir we are presently in formation with 5 I say again 5 C-5 Galaxy aircraft out of Trenton. They are carrying the lav 7. We will need to over fly Sudan and Egypt to get to Burundi."

"Inform the pilots that in no circumstance can they over fly Sudan. Have them divert to Israel and then head south."

"Wait one."

As I stood and listened to dead air in the ear piece I turned and looked around the command center. Benji was standing about three feet [one meter] away, an ear piece in his ear, Mike was talking on a phone and Ari was in conversation on another phone.

"Sir we will need to tank, if we divert to Israel."

Ari not missing a beat, turned and said.

"We'll have two L-1011 tankers off Cyprus ready for them."

Christ no wonder he was one of the best Commanders in the idf. He had been listening to my conversations as he carried on his on the phone. When I looked he now had a phone in each ear. Damn I loved him.

"Geordie the tankers will meet at Cyprus."

"Very good Sir. Anything else."

"The Loyal Eddies are the best. Give them hell."

"With Colors flying Sir."

Some times people, civilians, don't relies what some men fight for. The Loyal Edmonton Regiment had a history dating back almost 130 years. When Canada and the United States of America had joined into a single country a lot of the older units were disbanded. I had resurrected the Eddies as the 49th Battalion of the isc. They retained the title as the Loyal Edmonton Regiment. They still carried their old colors when ever they went into battle. A hold over from history. When the colors of the regiment were paraded before the troops on the eve of battle. The Battle Honors of the Loyal Eddies was long and very distinguished, dating from the first World War, through the second and Afghanistan and Iran. Now they were going in again. First in last out.

"Brin. BRIN!"

I brought myself back to reality.

"Yes Ari."

"Israel is now on a condition two footing. The Prime Minister has authorized air support for the units going into Burundi. All over flights of Egypt have been approved. The 2nd idf Artillery Battalion is enroute here. They will load as aircraft become available. The 1st and 2nd Para will move on C-130's of the Israel Air Force. I am placing my Para units under the command of Col Mayes. You should promote him to Brigadier General. He will be commanding a Regiment. A suggestion my friend. Transport the crews of your heavy tanks to Burundi, they could use the forty Leopard 4's of Burundi in the interim."

"Ari it is not me who commands the 3rd isc Brigade Group. It is you. If you want to promote someone, then it is you who has to do it."

"But Sir it is you who command me."

"Also if you want the crews from the second armor to fly to Burundi to take over their tanks that's you prerogative. Just get the job done."

"Ari you command, therefore I won't second guess you, nor will I interfere. I am not a military Commander. I just own the company."

Benji spoke up.

"General Israel, my Master, my Love, to me my God, my personnel God has only one thing in his heart. To Love. He loves all mankind. He loves all of us, with such love that we can never repay him. I will love him forever. I know you, Jacob, Mike, and everyone of his men and women love him with such an unbridled love that seems to transcend everything else. He placed you in command of one of his brigades. HIS BRIGADES, not an Israeli Brigade, not a NorAm Brigade, but one of his brigades. He probably knows by the first name of all he now sends in harms way. And I know that hurts inside him. I just hope I can help him to ease the pain that he feels inside. He picked you because he trusted you. Do not fail me General Ari Ben Israel. Do not fail him."

As Benji spoke everyone in the command center had stopped and listened. All now stood and saluted. Not to me or Ari, but to Benji.

I didn't have any words now.

"This brigade will no longer be called the 3rd isc Brigade Group. This is now the Benji Brigade Group."

"Now if you will excuse me Commander and Deputy Commander I have work to do."

I pulled Benji to me and wrapped my arm over his shoulder and walked out of the command center.

"I think it is time for a swim and to sit in the sun. What do you think lover?"

"Yes. Yes lets go for a swim."

We went down to our quarters and changed. When I saw Benji naked I really wanted to make love to him. He is so beautiful that I could spend my entire life in bed with him. Looking at his hard cock he probably thought the same thing.

We changed into swim gear and walked up to the terrace. Mo and Steve were there soaking up the sun.

Steve I knew was straight, but I wasn't sure of Mo.

Mo was deep in thought and hardly acknowledged our presents. Steve jumped up and shook both our hands.

"Sorry about earlier, I guess we were not expecting the problems Brin."

"We're going for a swim. Care to join us." Benji asked.

"No I think I just need to soak up some sun. Mo their going swimming want to join them."

"Oh! Yes! That would be great. Sorry I was so preoccupied."

When he stood up, Benji whispered to me.

"He's hung like a horse Brin."

"Ah, I see my cocks not big enough for you lover?"

Benji giggled.

"I only want your cock in me Brin forever, but…"

"But!"

"Well he might be interested in a three some."

"Do you want me to ask him or are you going to?"

"Lets go for a swim." Benji said.

The swim was really what the doctor ordered. I started to relax, especially with Benji and Mo enjoying the refreshing water with me. After about an hour of playing in the warm surf we got out and stretched out on the sand. Seeing Mo's cock outlined in his wet trunks proved Benji right. He really was hung like a horse. At least 7" [17½ cm] soft. I knew he was single, not having married even though he would have made a fine catch for a lady. I wondered?

As usual it was Benji, in his not so innocent curiosity who brought up the question upper most in his and my mind.

"Mr. Azeri are you gay? I know that it is not a question Brin would ask or even think about. But you seem very nice and honest."

Mo burst out laughing.

"You are very forward young man. Why do you ask?"

"Well you are very good looking and you have a very nice looking cock, at least what I can see of it. I think I might like to get a better look at it if you want and if its okay with my love."

"And after you have had a better look?"

I had been watching both Benji and Mo as they talked. Benji was as hard as a rock and I could see Benji's words having an effect on Mo's horse cock. It was slowing lengthening in his swimming trunks.

"Brin what do think of your loves proposal?" Mo asked

"Mo what makes Benji happy, makes me happy. If you wish to sleep with or have sex with Benji then that is between you and Benji."

"But Brin I want you in bed too. I want you both at the same time."

At this statement Mo really started to laugh. He was also getting very hard. He had at least 11 inches [27½ cm] of very thick meat.

"I have to tell you it has been a long time since I've had a proposal so openly given and although it would I think be very interesting I also think it would be inappropriate for me to do it considering what you have been through."

"I will think about it okay Benji. Now I need to cool off a little." He jumped up and ran into the surf.

"Do you think he will go for it Brin?"

"I don't know Benji. But you were right again. He is very good looking and he is gay and is very well endowed. Sure you could handle him love?"

"Only if your there too Brin."

"We'll see, we'll see."

Like I said I wasn't sure if I could ever keep up with Benji. I know all that he has learned about love making was forced on him, but it gave him an almost insatiable thirst for sex in any form or with almost anyone as long as I approved. Even looking at him now I knew the first thing that would happen when we were alone was that he would want me inside him. I could see it in the twinkle in his eyes. I reached out and pulled him into an embrace. Kissing and hugging him. He returned the love with his total self.

Having him in my lap, didn't help me stay soft for long. Soon I was just as hard as he was. When Mo came out of the water I could see he hadn't cooled off that much as his cock was still semi hard. Seeing us kissing didn't help him all that much either. I knew the dilemma he was in. He had come over here to get the full story on Benji's kidnapping, rape and abuse. Now he was being propositioned by the one person he was investigating. And of course I didn't help as I would do anything to make Benji happy.

Mo sat down on the sand and just looked at us both.

Chapter 15

"I can't sleep with you Benji, even with Brin in the same bed. I just can't. You are right, I am gay but totally in the closet. There are still many, many thousand of people in NorAm who hate gays with a passion. In order to be a good Attorney General I have to fight for them too. In different circumstances I think I would enjoy your company."

"What you and Brin have Benji is something very special. Even special to me. But the hold on my position now as Attorney General is very tenuous. A great many people did not want to see my appointment go through. It was thanks in part to the President and Vice President that with their present hold on the Senate that they were able to push it through. Brin you need to know that although the President hates your life style, he also knows you are both important to NorAm and to the peace and security of the world as a whole. You have also made an enemy in NorAm Brin, a very powerful enemy in Ms Bush the senator from Texas."

"Fuck her and the horse's cock she rode into Washington on." I said venomently.

"Be that as it may. She's one of the richest people in NorAm with many very powerful friends. She was really stupid in signing the Contract with the isc as it was written. I don't think any one in the Attorney Generals office even read it. I have. I don't like the provision that no one can arrest you or any of your personal staff without a hearing before a supreme court judge. It smacks of nepotism. It places you in eyes of some people to above the law."

"I will be totally honest with you Mo. I don't really care what people think. And I guess I really don't care at this point what you think. The only thing I care about now is bringing down this trade in boys and girls. And I have the support of my entire Corporation in this quest. I also have the total, and I mean total support of at least one Government. I'm told you can travel anywhere in the middle east and speak to anyone. Mo there has been peace in the middle east in part because of me and my company. I have no cross to bear. I have no ambitions for oil or minerals or anything else. The only power I have comes from the men and women who work for me."

"Of course being the third or maybe even the richest man in the world helps Brin."

"Mo I will spend every penny I have to bring this trade down."

"I believe you Brin. But now I must go and reread Benji's story. I hope I can have total story soon. I want to end this trade even more than you."

In a very quiet voice Benji said.

"I will tell you the rest Mo."

Even as he said it I could feel his whole body shaking.

"Are you sure my love? You don't have to. We can talk about it later lover. I know how much it hurts. You don't have to do this."

With tears streaming down his face.

"Yes Brin I have to. I have to finish this. I love you so much that my heart aches every time I look at you. But you too need to know, even as Ari and Jacob need to know. Maybe when you know I will not be such a catch as you say."

That's when I started to cry.

Then I lost it. Everything. All my hate, loathing, of what had been done to Benji came to the surface.

"Take care of Benji Mo!"

I stood and stormed off the beach. Up to my room, I donned armor, and my combat uniform. I strapped on my Glock and walked to the Command Center.

"Get my aircraft ready NOW!"

When the young man I ordered hesitated.

"NOW! I WANT MY AIRCRAFT NOW!"

"Yes Sir."

Ari ran into the command center when he heard my screaming.

"Brin what is it?"

"I WANT MY AIRCRAFT NOW! DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT GENERAL!"

"Of course not Commander. Can we tell the pilots your destination."

"Burundi, I'm going to Burundi."

"Please Brin wait. We have only started landing our troops."

"Now General, or do I have to find someone else who will follow orders."

I looked at the stricken face on Ari and then the lights went out.

Mike hearing my words and seeing my face had cold cocked me.

When I awoke I was laying on my bed. Benji was standing a few feet away. Mike was sitting on my bed. Ari was standing beside Mo. When I tried sit up Mike put his hand on my chest.

"No my Commander, my friend."

"Let me up! We have to get him now. I want him now. I want him to see how it feels."

"Commander we already have him." Ari intoned.

"How long have I been out."

"Almost 48 hours, I was beginning to worry. I didn't think I hit you that hard." Mike said.

"You mean you have arrested the Sultan?"

"Yes Commander, we captured him trying to leave. Jacob's brother was killed in the fighting for the palace. We rescued almost 40 boys and 16 girls. I can't tell you how I feel about some of their conditions with out wanting to kill that madman." Ari said.

"Let me up Mike. I'll repay you later for knocking me out. Now just let me up."

Mike stepped away from my bed.

I sat up and put my feet over onto the floor. I looked up and Benji was just three feet [90 cm] away. Knowing what was in my mind, how could he ever love me again. I just wanted to kill and kill and kill again. Before I could even move he was in my arms. Crying now like a lost child. I wrapped my arms around him and just held him, my own tears now mixing with his.

"Can you gentlemen leave us please?"

Ari ushered everyone out and closed the door.

"I'm sorry Benji. I just lost everything. It was just all of a sudden I couldn't take it anymore. Stress I know, stress of everything coming all at once. But I make no excuses except to you my love. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Mo told me that to really hate someone or something takes a lot of hard work Brin. He also said to forgive brings happiness and love. I forgive you for any and everything. All I want is happiness and your love."

"I will always love you Benji. Maybe the forgiveness will come later. But you have nothing to forgive, because you have done nothing but show me love."

He looked at my tear filled eyes.

"I want to see him Brin. I want him to know who it was that started his downfall. I need this please Brin."

"For you Benji anything. But first I need a shower and a shave."

"Me too."

I sniffed and then ran my hand over his cheek.

"A shower yes, shave no."

He helped me undress and then naked we walked into the bathroom. Benji was already hard as a stone phallus. And seeing his beautiful body made me hard too. We climbed into the shower and soaped each other and then stood and slowly rinsed. Benji went down and sucked my cock into his mouth. I held his head as he ran his tongue up and down and under my cock. He was definitely a good cock sucker, besides being a wonderful lover. Too soon I felt my balls boiling at his onslaught. Too soon I was coming in his mouth. He just lapped it all up and then came up smiling. Knowing his biggest need I just turned and present my ass to him. I went down on my knees and he just pushed his nice cock straight in. My cock became instantly hard at his penetration. He pounded my ass with a pent up passion, a passion that had not been fulfilled the two days I was out. He too couldn't hold out for long. I felt the hot flash as his young come sprayed into my anal canal. It felt so good my own cock let loose in a second volley of come onto the shower floor. After he pulled out I turned and stood and pulled him into my arms.

"There will never be anyone else in my life but you love."

"Me Too, Me too."

"Now before we become all pink and wrinkled, I think we should get out of the shower and dress. I need to shave first but you can start dressing, my love, my Deputy."

"Yes Sir." he threw a mock salute.

"The next time you say Sir to me Benji, I'll have Mike paddle your bottom."

"Oh no not Mike. Considering you were out for two days from one hit. I'd be in pain for a month. Besides I don't think he would do it."

"No it would hurt Mike more than you. But if I told him to do it he would."

"Then don't hurt Mike. I love him Brin. Not like I love you, but I still love him."

I slapped him lightly on his bare ass and told him to get going. I quickly shaved and went out to dress. Benji already had on his armor and pants, Desert Camo pattern. He had laid out my armor and desert camo. He'd also laid out my side arm. I dressed quickly. After both of us were dressed and armed, Benji with his 9mm Glock plus SMG, me with my 11mm Glock we headed for the Command Center. As usual two of Ari's guards led followed by two of mine.

Before I could even speak Ari said.

"This way Commander, an Armored transport is waiting to take you and your deputy to the airbase. An Aircraft is waiting to take you too Burundi."

Nothing being normal any more, we were escorted down to a 6 wheeled armored vip transport. After everyone was in we set out for the airbase. Ari must have pulled in all his markers with the idf. As I looked out the command hatch I could see at least 16 Merkava 6 tanks keeping pace with the convoy. And I mean convoy. There were 6 apc's in front and at least that many behind. The trip was quick, real quick, not like the 30 minute trip that brought me here to Ari's fortress. When we arrived at the airbase I was astounded at seeing 6 C-17 aircraft on the apron, all with isc markings. I only had 12 and half of them were here now. We stopped at an aircraft parked off the apron. I didn't recognize the type. We were quickly ushered into the aircraft and past banks of radar screens and computers. We settled in the rear of the aircraft and into a comfortable almost board room, except screens covered all the walls. The chairs were comfortable. As soon as we were aboard I heard the engines spool up and in no time we were moving. As soon as we were in the air Ari walked in.

"The trip will take about 90 minutes. We have to divert so as not to pass within Sudanese Radar Coverage. Not that I am worried. There are at least 16 aircraft in escort from the idf Air force and at least 16 more from the NAS Nimitz."

I looked at Mo and he just smiled.

"Thanks to NorAm Transport Command, all the heavy armor is on the ground and deployed. All three Infantry Battalions are on the ground."

"We have unconfirmed reports that a lot of men from the Sultan's Para-Police forces crossed into New Babylon."

"We still haven't figured out the connection between Burundi and New Babylon."

"Sounds to me like your on top of everything Ari. I apologize for my outburst a couple of days ago."

"Accepted. Now how about a drink to celebrate the liberation of Burundi and the children."

"Sounds good. What's going on with Sudan?"

"They have about two Armored Brigades on the border, however we deployed the two Para battalions and the Armored regiment to the area. If they attempt an invasion I have ordered our forces to engage and destroy as much as possible until we can deploy ground support from Burundi City. We have two Squadrons of Apache Attack Helicopters in Burundi City."

"Should I ask where they came from?"

They are idf manned and crewed with isc markings. The C-17's you saw have been bringing them in 4 at a time."

"It looks like you have everything under control General."

"Thank you Commander."

Benji looked out one of the windows and could see an F-15 fighter right on our wingtip. He casually waved and then laughed as the pilot waved back. When I looked the jet seemed to be welded to our wingtip he was so close. The ninety minute flight seemed very quick as the lights came on to fasten seatbelts. The Aircraft touched down smoothly and taxied to the apron. The stairs were quickly run up and we prepared to deplane.

As Benji and I stepped out of the Aircraft.

"GUARD PRESENT… ARMS."

Two, Two Hundred man Guards of The Loyal Eddies, complete with colors flying, were on the tarmac in front of the plane.

"GUARD SHOULDER… ARMS."

After we deplaned and walked to a small platform a few steps from the stairs. Brigadier General Mayes walked up and saluted. He addressed Benji.

"Would you care to inspect the guard Commander?"

Benji looked up at me.

I whispered to him. "Yes General it would be an honor."

Benji said then.

"You honor me more than I deserve General. Yes I would thank you."

I told Benji to walk beside General Mayes. Look all the men in the eye and then at there uniforms weapons etc. If you want to ask a question, just ask.

Benji and General Mayes led our small procession down the front of the first rank. Mike and I followed at a respectable distance. This was Benji's turn. He stopped and asked questions of several troopers. But most of the time he just looked. He also talked to the General. Even laughed a few times. After the inspection we returned to the small dais.

General Mayes walked up and addressed me.

"Permission to march off the Guard Commander."

"Yes Geordie and thank you my friend."

When I turned and looked at Ari he said.

"I told you we renamed the Third isc Brigade the Benji Brigade."

A car came up and soon we were unloaded at the Sultans Palace. And Palace it was. It had to have a hundred rooms in it. Ari later told me it had well over 150 rooms. Mostly bedrooms, intermixed with boardrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, cells, torture rooms, Offices for all his cronies. It had an indoor pool, saunas, weight room, underground garage, with at least 30 Rolls Royce, several armored cars, and a high speed boat.

As we approached the entrance, Benji grabbed my arm.

"You okay Lover."

"No! I'm scared. I hate this place. Can we stay someplace else."

"Of course. Were only here to see the Sultan. We don't have to live in this den of torture and hate. In fact I don't want to spend a night here either."

We entered and were escorted down a long hall and into the Sultan's office. Malcolm Pratt, my Finance Officer was buried in the middle of reams of paper and records.

"Brin, uh Commander, This guy was unbelievable. He has holdings all over the world. It's going to take months to sort all this out."

"Malcolm have as many people as you need flown in. I want all his dirty laundry available ASAP."

Malcolm looked at me then with one of his warning stares.

"What!"

He handed me a piece of paper.

It was a signed Contract between Burundi and the Sultan and New Babylon and Sheik Abu Asan Mucbar. It stated that New Babylon would act as a export point for all of Burundi's oil and any persons no longer suitable for service with the Sultan. In effect it was the place where Benji had been put aboard ship. I handed it to Ari. After he read it he said.

"I'll need more forces for this Commander."

"And you'll have them. Get me a phone link."

He handed me a satellite phone.

"Have four of the C-17's in Israel take off now for Germany. Their to pick up the 1st and 2nd Heavy Infantry Battalions, who were slated for Chad."

I dialed a number and connected with General Sir Thomas Beaton.

"General Beaton Sir."

"Thomas I am going to steal your 1st and 2nd heavy Infantry for a short while."

"Thought you might need them Sir so I took the precautionary of having them stand to in readiness. I also have started loading the lav 6 on the Aircraft that are here. With three or more aircraft I can have all the 1st and 2nd anywhere you want them in eight hours."

"Thomas 4 C-17's are enroute to load the Battalions."

"And when Sir will I get them back?"

"Thirty days top. They will go from Burundi direct to Chad."

I hung up and told Ari he would have two heavy Infantry Battalions on the ground here in less than 24 hours. Enough I asked.

"Yes Commander, New Babylon has nothing more than Para-police units."

"And what of the un?"

"The NorAm Ambassador has stated to the un Assembly that Forces of the International Security Command, at the request of the Sultan of Burundi, have occupied the City State of Burundi to prevent Sudan from invading." Mo said.

"The Israeli Ambassador stood and said Israel would support all actions by the International Security Command." Ari said

"Yeah but for how long?" I said.

"For as long as it takes Commander." Ari said.

I turned to Benji.

"You okay love."

"I don't know how I could ever be your equal Brin. You know so much. You act like you were born to this. I am just a boy."

"No Benji, today you showed me you're a man, okay, a young man who has a lot of experience beyond your 16 years. Experiences that go beyond anything I or any one else I know. Benji you have more inner strength than anyone else I know."

"I don't know Brin."

"Do you still want to confront the Sultan?"

"Yes!"

I turned to Ari.

"So where are you holding him?"

"We have him in one of the cells where we rescued about 15 young men. We have equipped it better than he gave them, but just barely."

"Lead the way please."

Ari lead the way down a hall to a set of huge double doors. After going through the doors we went down several flights of stairs. He told me that most of the levels we past were vast store rooms filled with all manner of goods. We also passed the door to the underground garage. He told me that the Sultan had built a tunnel almost 3 km [2 miles] long as and escape route. It lead from the garage to another surface garage in Burundi City. After going down 5 or 6 flights we entered a very dimly lit corridor.

"This is the lowest level of the palace. We are about 200 ft [60 m] underground here. I think he kept it dimly lit to invoke fear into all who brought here."

All the doors off the corridor were closed. I didn't enquire what was behind them. We entered a better lighted area with several barred enclosures, cells. When I looked in all I could see was bare floors, no cots, bedding, not even a bathroom. Ari told me the Sultan had a hole in one corner where the prisoners could relieve them selves. Barbaric. Benji at this point had such a tight grip on my arm it was becoming painful.

"You okay Benji?

"No Brin, I'm scared of this place."

"Easy bud, no can hurt you anymore in this place."

"I know Brin, but it brings back some really bad memories."

A single cell was now very well lighted with several portable lights set up. Four armed guards were standing around the cell. Two were always looking in at all times. Probably to prevent the Sultan from hurting himself or trying to commit suicide. We walked up to the cell.

The Sultan walked up to the bars as we approached.

"Ah the Commander of Intersec. You can not get away with attacking my country. You are a usurper. I will have you charged and condemned in the world court."

"Maybe. But only after you have been tried and executed for your crimes."

"Crimes? What crimes. What a leader of a sovereign nation does within its own borders under its own laws is not a crime. It is you who is the criminal."

"Do you know this young man standing beside me Sultan?"

"I don't believe I have ever met him. Why?"

"My name is, was, Benji Watson. I was kidnapped from NorAm three and half years ago and then sold in a market in North Africa. You bought me. You raped me. You forced me to have sex with all manner of men. When I was of no use to you anymore you sold me again. But for Brin, I would be dead now. If I had my way you would die the way you wished me to be. But I don't blame you anymore. In fact I actually forgive you. You see by your deeds you have given me something I value now above all things. You have given me my only Love."

The Sultan shrank back from the bars as Benji spoke. He seemed to wither right before our eyes.

"I hope for your sake Sultan that there are no Saudi or other Moslem boys or girls found among the ones we rescued from this Palace of rape, torture and murder. If I find even one I will have sent to that country to be tried under Islamic Law. But before that happens I am going dissect your entire life. I am going to find out everything you know and everything you have ever done."

The Sultan just sat down and looked at Benji. A real frightened look now in his eyes. Gone was the smug look of superiority. I honestly felt sorry for him. Maybe I was on my way to forgiveness.

"Can we leave now Brin. I want to get out of here as soon as we can. This place really frightens me."

"Yeah lets go Love."

Ari lead us back out of the dungeon and up the stairs to the Palace proper. After leaving he said they had commandeered a hotel as headquarters. The drive was short and upon arriving I noticed no one came anywhere near the hotel. The citizens of Burundi seemed to be cowed by our presence. The ones I looked at had a very guilty look in their eyes. Was all of Burundi a slave labor state I wondered. Would need to find out and find out real quick.

Ari escorted us up to suite on the top floor. And then left us. I turned and wrapped Benji in my arms. He just melted into me.

"Hungry Love?" I asked

"Yes. Hungry for you. Can we go to bed now. I want you inside me Brin."

"I thought you would never ask lover."

Chapter 16

We undressed slowly, knowing we had all night to enjoy each other. After we were both nude, I noticed for the first time Benji wasn't even hard.

"You okay lover?"

"No! Can we just cuddle for now. I really need to just hold you Brin. I need you to hold me."

We climbed into bed and just held each other and kissed and hugged. I felt his tensed up body slowly relaxing. We must of dozed off because the telephone on the bedside table brought me awake. I picked it up annoyed.

"YES!"

"Sorry to bother you Sir, but we have a problem that even Mike couldn't help with. We tried him first and he said to call you Sir."

"So What's the big problem?"

"Well we found a brothel."

"THAT'S IT?" I almost yelled.

"Well no Sir. It's well it's!"

"Spit it out." I said severely irritated.

"There's nothing but young boys and girls as the employees. And we are holding several foreign nationals that were in the place. It has over a hundred rooms Sir."

Oh Christ. That's all I need now. It seems to be as I suspected. Burundi City State is a slave state. Now what do I do?

"Do you have the manager in custody?"

"Yes Sir, In fact one of my men almost shot him out of hand."

"Okay I'll be coming around shortly. Hold everyone until I get there. By the way where are you at."

"625 Golden Way Sir."

I hung up and dialed Mo's Room.

"Hello."

"Mo? Brin. I hope I didn't wake you but I have a bigger problem now. Can you accompany me out now."

"Yes Sir. Where are we going?"

"To a brothel, meet me in the lobby.

I hung up and rang down to desk asking if Mike was in the lobby.

"Yes Sir, he's right here."

"Mike."

"Yes Commander."

"Full security team in ten minutes."

"Yes Sir!"

I hung up and turned and kissed Benji. He returned with a passion of a man who hadn't been kissed in an eon.

"I have to go out Benji."

"I know Brin. Intersec comes first. I've come to realize that when it deals with the company I am second. I don't mind. I love you more than life itself. Nothing will ever change that."

"Tomorrow my love I am going to have to put you to work. I will explain all tomorrow morning at the staff meeting."

I stood up and donned my uniform. Strapped on my side arm. Then bent over and kissed Benji again.

"Go to sleep my love. You are going to need all your young strength tomorrow."

He just smiled as I turned and left the suite. I was met by Mike and one security guard. I noted that two still stood by my door. We went down to the lobby, met with Mo and Ari and went out and climbed into Armored Humvee's. The trip was very short, like 5 minutes and we were unloading on a street bathed in garish lights offering anything and everything to delight a male or female. Strip joints, bars, nightclubs. But there were absolutely no one on the street, except about 100 security personal. I was met by the Security Commander of the Street Patrol Section.

"This is the place Sir."

"Where are you holding the foreign nationals?"

"Inside Sir."

I was about to enter when Mo grabbed my arm.

"Brin. This could be a real problem. I take it the people who come to this place are being serviced by boys and girls, underage boys and girls. Possibly, probably slave boys and girls. If even an inkling of this leaks out of Burundi, we will have a devil of a time getting to the bottom of this. Once the News Networks get a hold of this we will lose it all. And they will if we hold onto these foreign nationals."

"You need not worry about the News Networks. We control all, and I mean ALL communications in this country. You can't use a cell or satellite phone here. You need an uplink. We control all the uplinks. TV, radio, everything is under isc control."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Rescue every single boy or girl enslaved in this country."

"And the owners of these boys and girls. Mo said.

"Well I'd like to use summary execution, but I suspect I would kill off the entire population of Burundi."

Mo knew from the look in my eyes that I was dead serious about the executions.

"Brin you can't do that. You can't just execute everyone who owns a slave boy or girl. We don't know how long this has being going on for. This appears to be the norm here."

"I know Mo."

"Ari. I think Jed and Darrel are cooling there heels at your fortress in Israel. Think you could have then flown over tonight."

"Yes Commander."

I turned away from Mo and Ari and walked into the brothel. Just inside the door were 12 men, mostly in their 50's and 60's. Clients of the brothel, considering all were handcuffed, and all were with just towels covering their bodies. The manager was handcuffed and with leg irons on seated on a chair.

"Let these, these men dress and then put them in a cell in the palace, no amenities."

"Take this other piece of garbage out and put him against a wall and execute him."

"BRIN!" Mo said.

The manager hearing me order his execution.

"Please Sir, don't kill me. I know everything. I can tell you everything. Please Sir."

"And what can you tell me that I don't all ready know?

"Everything Sir. All the places that have slaves working. Who the owners are. How they are paid for their slaves' service. Please Sir I know all."

I turned to Mo and just smiled. He just shook his head. Surprising what you can get from a person when their life is in danger.

"Take him to a holding cell in the Palace. But be forewarned. Unless you tell me everything I want to know I will personally take you out and put a bullet in your brain."

After all the 'Clients' and the manager had been removed from the brothel. I walked down the halls looking in every room. Most had a double bed and a lamp stand. In each was either a young boy, or young girl. The boys ranged in age from 14 to 16. The girls from 13 to 15. All had numerous bruises or abrasions on there young bodies. All were nude. In some rooms the boys were tied in a position that left them open to anal intercourse only. In one room we found a young boy who had been laid open by a whip. He died before we could get him medical attention. Mo was openly crying before we were even half way through our inspection. I just closed my mind as I continued. On the fourth floor we found the worst of the depravities. All the kids on this floor had, at least two limbs amputated. All had one arm amputated. Most had both legs amputated. What that meant was now anyone could do to them as they pleased. Anal, oral, torture in anyway someone wanted. They couldn't run. They were just a toy now. The hate I was feeling was almost a visible emotion. With out someone restraining me I was ready to kill every single slave owner in the entire country. I just could not imagine in my wildest dreams how someone could do this to these young boys and girls.

"General Israel."

"Yes Commander."

"LOCK THIS CITY DOWN!"

"Martial Law. Curfews 6 pm till 6 am. Anyone on the streets will be subject to arrest or summary execution. I want every bar, night club, strip joint searched."

"Mike."

"Yes Sir."

"We need a place to take all these young kids. A place we can feed them, clothe them, away from here. Also it must be big enough to accommodate any others that are found."

"Sir!"

"Make it happen Mike."

"Yes Sir."

To say I was mad is an understatement. I was livid. I just headed out of this den of total evil. Getting down stairs and out into the fresh air I climbed into a humvee.

"Take me to my quarters."

Back in my suite I sat down after pouring a tumbler ¾ full of scotch. I then just cried and tears were rolling down my cheeks when Benji sat down beside me.

I grabbed a hold of him and continued to cry. I couldn't stop. In my whole life I had never seen or imagined that someone could disfigure or make a boy or girl a paraplegic for the purposes of sex. It was monstrous beyond the imagination. Yet it wasn't just one, it was several.

As much as I loved Benji, I now hated this country with such a passion that I was going to free the whole city state. I started all this to find the person that had abducted, raped and tortured my love. Now I was going to take on the world wide scourge of slavery. I undressed and climbed into bed with Benji. Now I needed to hold onto him. We slept in each others arms. At 6 am my alarm went off.

I slipped out of bed and headed for the shower. I was barely wet when Benji joined me. We washed each other and although we ended up both hard, I wasn't in the mood and Benji knew it. He went out to dress while I shaved. Then I dressed. We hardly spoke a word and Benji looked at me with a really worried look on his face.

"Are you okay Brin?"

"No Benji I'm not. What I saw last night is the most horrendous things that could be done to a kid. A KID!"

"Do you still want me in your life?" Benji said.

I looked at him and saw some anguish on his face. Even a tear on his cheek. In two steps I grabbed him and lifted him off his feet.

"Now more than ever my love. You are my strength. You are my Soul."

"But I will need your strength today. No tears, no running for cover. Today Benji I need you more than ever."

"Why Brin?"

"You'll get your instructions at the staff meeting this morning. I hope your up to it, actually I know your up to it."

I picked the phone and ordered a continental breakfast for two.

When it arrived, it was delivered by a very young male, very young and only wearing a shear pantaloon pants, and shear t-shirt. After he had wheeled the breakfast cart in and laid out the breakfast.

"Would you like to have something else Sir." he said

"And what are you offering? Benji asked.

"Oh young Sir anything you would desire."

"Do you work for this hotel?" I asked

"Yes Sir, this is where I am assigned. My master placed me here to make the hotel guests happy."

"And what do you offer?" I asked.

"I will suck both you and your young friend off. If you wish you can fuck me."

"And the charge for these services?"

"No charge Sir. It comes compliments of the hotel.

"Remove your shirt." Benji said.

After the young man had removed his shirt, Benji walked up to him and inspected his arms.

"He has a slave tattoo on his shoulder Brin."

"Where is your master now?" I asked.

"I don't know Sir. I get my instructions from the hotel overseer."

"And where is he?"

"Down in our holding room Sir. He gives us our assignments. Are you displeased with me Sir. Please I must please you or else."

"Or else what?"

"Or I will be punished for not pleasing a guest of this hotel."

"No one will ever punish you again. Ever!"

"Sir I must go now. I have to report back to my masters overseer. I need to leave now."

"Sit Down!" I ordered the young man.

He sat down but looked really worried. Benji had the look of a madman on his face. I could see all that happened to him crossing his face. What I saw made my hate for this society so much more. The idea of slavery was so foreign to me that escaped my conscious mind. But the slavery for sex of young men brought it home, and to Benji.

I picked up the phone and ordered Mike up to my suite. When he arrived I told to sit and listen really close, to what I was about to tell him.

"First Mike I want you to put together a special security unit. Made up of all married men and women. You can draw on all forces presently in Burundi. After you have the unit formed I want every hotel in Burundi searched. Their going to searching for any slaves who are used to please guests in that hotel. I want them to check every employee for a slave tattoo branded on their shoulder. All overseers found are to arrested and confined."

"No problem Sir. There has to over thirty 5-star hotels in this city."

"What did you do about accommodation for the young men and women from last night and when was the last time you slept?

"We've set up in a hanger at the Airport. The Eddies supplied most of the cots and bedding. They are also going to feed the kids from their field kitchen unit. A MUST unit is also set up close by. As to sleep I will get some when I have time Sir."

"I think we need to order in another security battalion. I'll contact Edmonton and have another 300 security personnel transferred in."

"That's all Mike. I am holding a staff meeting at 10:00 hrs. See you there. Thank you Mike I couldn't do this without you."

Mike saluted and then left.

"Benji could you find some better clothes for this young man."

"What's your name boy? Benji asked.

"Nat. Nathan Sir."

"You don't have to call me Sir. My name is Benji. Call me Benji. Come along I will get you something better to wear."

When Benji left to try and clothe young Nat, I picked up the phone and called Ari. I told him I wanted all unit, battalion, and Mo, Jed, Darrell at a staff meeting in the conference room at 10:00 hrs. Then I sat down and drank several cups of coffee. About fifteen minutes later Benji and Nat came out of the bed room. Nat was wearing a pair of Benji's jeans and a t-shirt. He really was a good looking boy. And like Benji really filled out the jeans, showing a very full basket and smooth fair skin. I could tell Benji was just a little bit smitten by him.

"Well that looks better. I said.

"What is going to happen to me now Sir?" he asked in a very low voice.

"Well you won't be servicing any more guests of this hotel or any other. In fact you won't have to service anyone. You are now a free young man. As will every other young man and women in this, this State will be."

"Free Sir?"

"Yes Free. Free to do as you wish. No more punishments because you don't please a guest. No more bending over at the whim of your overseer. Free."

For the first time since he had entered the suite a smile lit up his face. It made him more even more beautiful.

I picked my lap top and after connecting with the local area net, keyed in a password that would allow me communication out of the country. Hooking up with the Intersec World Wide Network, I started to arrange units so I could transfer in another 300 security persons into Burundi. I also caught up on all my message traffic. Benji interrupted me to say it was almost 9:45 and I should dress for the meeting. Damn how time seems to fly.

I stripped off my shorts and t-shirt, I noticed how Nat's eyes followed my nude body. Benji had laid out my armor and uniform. I quickly dressed and then said.

"Okay lets go boys. Nat you will come with us and sit in on the meeting. Benji you will take care of him for now. Later we will put him with the others like him."

Upon entering the conference room every single person stood to attention. I walked to head of the table.

"Relax gentlemen. Jed, Darrel good to see you here."

"Okay the first order of business here. Ari the overall security situation."

"Sir. The 1st and 2nd Heavy Infantry arrived over night and are deploying along the border with New Babylon. We now have five full strength Infantry Battalions in country backed up with a light Artillery Battalion and a regiment of tanks. Sudan has backed off from the border area. Burundi City is under marshal law with a curfew in effect from 6 pm to 6 am."

"Very Good Ari. Thank you. Mike."

"Sir. Out of the hundred plus boys and girls rescued from that brothel, six are in hospital, all were very under nourished and all are very high strung. Sir I, we need some medical people who can deal with their mental problems. The special unit formed last night has liberated 113 boys ranging in age from 12 to 16. Nine local men are in custody. The search of the other hotels and bars, strip clubs, brothels is continuing. But I definitely need more manpower. This city is huge."

"Ari pull the Loyal Eddies off the border with Sudan and turn them over to City Command. Move the 1st Heavy Battalion to an area that it can move either way. To the border with Sudan or New Babylon."

"Yes Sir."

"Malcolm

"Well Sir this is just a preliminary estimate, but the Sultan has about 25 billion dollars deposited in banks in Europe and the Caribbean. He owns five ships and leases six others. All are tankers in the 500,000 metric ton range, except for two cargo vessels. If I have it right he also owns an island off the coast of South America. The only name I have Bor-Dango. The trip logs of the two cargo vessels show that they visit the island at least once a month."

"Keep digging Malcolm."

"Mo."

"Brin I am way over my head here. If I did what my heart says, I would agree with you to execute all the slave owners. But I am a lawyer, maybe more than that. But I need help. I need a full npf investigation team. At least six more prosecutors. Even then I just don't know all the ramifications."

"How could you get your teams here?"

"I would need to go to Washington. I'll need the permission of the President."

"Anyone know where my personal aircraft is?"

"On the tarmac at Burundi Airport." Mike said.

"Have a nice trip Mo. See you in 24 hours. However Darrel is the lead investigator of Edson Boy. You might like to put him to work."

"Your right Brin. Darrel we need to talk be fore I leave."

Mo and Darrel left the conference.

I queried the two Commanders of the 1st and 2nd as to there status. Also the artillery commander and the tank Commander. All were satisfied at their respective deployments.

"Benji."

"Yes my Lo… Yes Brin."

"Benji I'm giving you the hardest job. I am placing you in charge of all the young boys and girls that are liberated here in Burundi. You have been there. You have been though all that has happened to these kids. You and you alone know. I need all that inner strength you have. Love them Benji as I love you. Help to bring them home."

"Yes my Love."

"Jed I know you came over here to witness my marriage to Benji. Can you now help him?"

"As long as I have known you Brin, you have never asked for anything I could not deliver. Now I return the love you have. Yes I'll help in any way I can. I can always put it on your bill any ways." he chuckled.

"General Mayes."

"Yes Sir!"

"I'm placing you and your battalion in charge of policing and searching Burundi City."

"Yes Sir."

"Find the slave owners, the overseers, anyone who owns slaves. Arrest and detain. Don't kill anyone if you can help it. I, we need information. The more information we have the better it is. Understand Geordie."

"Yes Sir. My pleasure Sir."

"Okay anyone have anything I should know?"

My Chief of Security stood up.

"Well Sir. Late last night an aircraft flying off the coast declared an Emergency. Requested an emergency landing clearance at Burundi Airport. Under International agreements we allowed the aircraft to land. When it was on the ground they informed us that it was a glitch in their electric systems. When we boarded the aircraft we found it was owned by World News Net. We have a reporter and camera crew in custody at the airport. The pilots have said that the reporter ordered them to declare an emergency so they could get on the ground in Burundi. They are demanding that they be released."

SHIT.

"Mike, take them to the palace, strip search them all and put them in a cell. No amenities. In fact leave them nude. The pilots hold them at the airport. I'll talk to the reporter later."

"Good as done Sir. He laughed.

"Anything else gentlemen."

"Okay you are all dismissed. Ari and Mike I would like you to stay for a minute."

After everyone but Ari and Mike had left.

"Okay do either of you two gentlemen have any thoughts on how to deal with this reporter?"

"Well it would be nice to get him onside." Mike said.

"Maybe you could offer him an exclusive story. The whole story." Ari said.

"Well I'm sure to fuck not going to let him roam around free. I'm going to need a hold over him. To charge him with violating international flight regulations is a little slim."

"Well you can hold him on that charge for at least 24 hours."

"Okay. Now Ari, could you have a few Mossad interrogators flown in quietly? Specifically ones trained in chemical interrogation."

"And who do you want interrogated in this way, although I can think of one. Also are they allowed to use other methods as well? Sometimes chemical interrogation doesn't work without an additional incentive."

"They can use what ever methods they like as long as I get the information I want. Starting with the Sultan and then the other foreign nationals now in custody."

"It shall be done Commander."

"Mike is there a scheduled air service into Burundi?

"No Sir. But there about 16 private aircraft at the business terminal at the airport."

"Also they continue to fly in. We haven't closed the airport to make things look normal."

"Okay any others that fly in now arrest and hold the passengers. Segregate the pilots in one place, a different place than the kids."

"Already being done Sir." Mike said.

"Mike keep an eye on Benji for me. Let him do his own thing but help if he needs it."

"And Mike get some sleep. You look like hell. That's an order."

"Yes Sir."

"Okay get me detail to take me to the palace."

For the first time in a long time I was traveling without Benji at my side. When I arrived at the palace I headed straight for the cells on the lowest floor. As I walked down the dimly lit hallway I stopped and opened one of the side doors of the corridor. Inside was a complete torture chamber, with racks, and implements of torture. By the stains on some of the equipment I could tell it had been used recently. Disgusted at the thought I walked down to cell holding the News World Net reporter and his camera crew.

"Who's the reporter. I asked.

A large black male shot back.

"Who's asking?"

"My name is Brin Sadac of the International Security Command. I was the one that ordered you held here in your present condition."

"Well Commander I'm going to crucify you in the press when I get out of here. Your name will be universally hated over all the world when I'm done with you."

"Really and how do you plan to do that, standing naked in one of my cells."

"You can't hold me forever."

"I don't need to hold you at all. Your aircraft declared an emergency. I could report that after contacting Burundi airport to land your aircraft went off our radar screens and after an extensive search we concluded your aircraft crashed into the Red Sea."

"With no survivors."

"But, but, but."

"No buts, no anything unless your willing to cooperate."

"And if we choose not to?"

"Then there will be no survivors from your aircraft."

The look on his face told me everything I needed to know about him. He had not fully realized his predicament until I said there would be no survivors.

"What must I do to save my crew."

"Well Clarence it's real simple."

"You know who I am?"

"Oh yes. As soon as I laid eyes on you I knew who and what you are. I actually respect some of the things you've done. Not All. But some."

I turned to one of my security detail.

"Have him cuffed and taken to that room I looked in on my way here. Strap him down to the rack."

I then turned and walked farther down the cell block. I stopped at the cell holding the 'Clients' from the previous night. I saw that there were now twelve men in the cell. They all started yelling at me at once. I held up my hand for silence. When they stopped yelling I addressed them.

"You men are being held pending an investigation by the npf. If they find you are in contravention of any statute or law in NorAm you will be charged. I suggest you cooperate with the interrogators when they start asking questions."

I just turned and walked away and back down to the torture chamber where I had ordered Clarence Wilson be put. When I walked in I saw he was strapped down on the rack like table in the room. He was spread eagle on the table.

"Comfortable Clarence?"

"No! And this isn't funny in the least. What now Commander, going to torture me into submission?"

"Not at all Clarence. But I must say for a black male you are very well endowed."

I reached over casually and gripped his flaccid cock. Even soft he must have had a 6 or 7 inch [15-18 cm] girth. Even as I gripped it I felt it start to harden. I released it. I wasn't interested in a sexual encounter with a 35 year old male. I had only one love in my life.

He'd never said a word as I gripped his cock and remained silent now.

"Clarence Wilson I am going to give you a choice. Either cooperate with me or I'll make you and your crew disappear. I'd rather have you cooperate. You see Clarence I invaded and took over this city state to stop the traffic in boy and girl slavery. Specifically boy and sex slavery. I want you and your team to cronical all that I have done and all I'm going to do. You will have exclusive rights to the coverage. However if you try to communicate anything you see and record before I'm ready to do it, you will simply cease to exist."

"Jesus! Jesus." was all he said.

"Well do I have your word or."

"Yes Commander you have my word. My word is my bond."

I ordered a security guard come in and release Clarence from the rack.

After they released him and he was standing before me, still nude, but not even ashamed of the fact he started asking questions.

"No questions for now. First lets get you your clothes and some for your crew and get some better accommodation than you have now."

I ordered my security detail to release the film crew and take them to my hotel.

"I will talk to you later Clarence. Don't disappoint me."

I headed up stairs to the main floor and then outside.

"Take me to the Airport."

On the trip to the airport I noticed that the city seemed to be working normally. There was a fairly large number of people on the streets and some vehicle traffic. Stores were open and people seemed to if not happy at the presence of heavily armed security guards about, at least normal.

When I arrived at the airport Mo was just getting ready to board my Challenger 7. I walked over to him.

"All squared away Mo?"

"Yes Brin. Thank you for use of your aircraft."

"It'll put you in Washington in time for breakfast." I laughed.

"That fast eh?"

"About 2500 mph [4,000 km/h]."

I shook hands with him and wished him luck in Washington. He climbed aboard and I turned and headed for the Main Hanger. As I got closer I could see a huge tent city had been set up. Accommodation for the troops. There was also a huge tent set up as a combined mess hall and a MUST(Medical Unit Self Contained Transportable) set up close to the main hanger. There had to about 100 boys and girls wandering between the mess tent and the hanger. I stopped and looked in awe at the proceedings. When I walked up and looked in the hanger I could see what seemed like hundreds of young boys and girls talking, laughing and playing. I stopped just inside and looked for Benji. I spotted him talking to a boy about his age.

"He's a godsend Brin." Jed had walked up beside me.

"I think he's talked to every single boy and girl in here. He's doing wonders. I know now why you love him so much. He has so much love in him he can share it with all of these."

As I turned to leave and head for the Medical Unit, I spotted a very young boy sitting on a cot crying. Instinctively I walked over to him.

"Hello young fellow. Are you okay?"

"No I just want to go home."

"And where is home son?"

"In, in Washington."

"Washington DC or the State of Washington?"

"In DC, I want my mom."

"Come on son." And I picked him up and held him. He wrapped his arms around me, like he never wanted to let go. Several other boys and girls and Benji saw me pick him up. Soon I was surrounded by over a hundred boys and girls all trying to just touch me. My security guys were going nuts. Benji pushed through to me.

"They just want to touch their savior Brin. My savior. You no longer have just me loving you Brin. You have all of these too."

I finally relented and pushed my way over to a table at the end of the hanger. I sat down and at once was being kissed on each cheek as each and every boy and girl came up to thank me. It went on for almost an hour until Benji came up at the last and kissed me fully on the mouth. I looked out over the vast hanger and all the kids were just sitting looking at me. Now what do I do. I had liberated these kids, Now what do I do?

Chapter 17

"What do I do now." I said out loud.

I sat with my head down and with my head in my hands. What do I do now. As I sat there I became aware that all around me the boys and girls were now sitting silently. When I looked up all I could see was a sea of smiling happy boys and girls. Not a sound, even the Doctors and nurses had stopped moving around among the young kids. I had never being in position like this. I am not a great public speaker at the best of time and now I had to talk to these young boys and girls. I stood up.

"Benji come over here please."

Benji slowly made his way up to where I was standing.

"You all know Benji. If it wasn't for him you would not now be free. Really. If I hadn't found him on my road in Alberta I would never have known you existed. But I did find him. I saved him like I have now saved all of you. I can't promise you the world, or even promise I will be able to return you home. I will promise you will never ever have to do anything, and I mean anything you do not wish to do. Ever! You are all free. Free of the yoke of slavery. I know you all have been forced to do your masters bidding. But no more. Your masters are now or will be soon brought to pay for your abuse. Now you must help me. Please cooperate with anyone of my people who ask you questions. Without knowing who you are I can't help you. I will help all I can, we all will, every single employee I have is here to help. Please bear with us and me."

I turned and kissed Benji.

"Your doing a wonderful job my love. I can't thank you enough."

"No Brin, we can't thank you enough. I have my love for you. Now all of these young men and girls love you too. I just hope you will always have enough left for me."

"Benji your number one in my life. I will always have enough for you."

Mike walked up to me.

"Sir now would be a good time to have your reporter here."

"Your right Mike. Bring them all here. Let them see and record all of this."

"Actually I took it upon myself to bring them here. They are recording out side now."

"Well bring them in. Let them see with there own eyes what was happening in this country."

Clarence and his crew came into the hangar. He walked right up to me.

"Ready for a few questions Commander?"

I laughed.

"Clarence what do you see here?"

"I see about 200 young boys and girls. So!"

"Is that all you see?"

"I'm not sure what your getting at Commander."

"Clarence I see two hundred young men and women who are now free of the yoke of slavery. Sex Slavery. All of these young boys and girls have been rescued from brothels and sex clubs and hotels in this city. All were required on pain of punishment to service others, regardless of what was asked of them."

"Jesus and Mary."

"You see Clarence, I didn't invade a sovereign nation because I wanted it for my own. I invaded to end this, this trade in sex slaves. And now that I know more I am going to end this scourge world wide. No matter the cost."

"Can you tell me how this all started Commander?"

"This is how it started." as I wrapped my arms around Benji.

"I found this young man, now my love and only love, half frozen on the road into my mountain retreat in Alberta. I saved him from death, and I grew to know him and then I started to love him. Now there is no one in my life that means more to me. He has told me most of the story of how he ended up half frozen on my road. He still has more to tell."

Clarence set down his microphone and sat down.

"Commander. I have a wife and two very precious sons at home. Would it be possible to let them know I'm okay."

"I'll make it know to them you are okay, but on assignment where communications is not possible."

"Thank you Commander. I have to say my first impression of you was totally negative. We got wind of something going down in Burundi and my Boss said to find out what as going on. I have to ask. If I had refused to cooperate would me and my crew just disappeared?"

"Yes."

He bent over and put his head in his hands.

"Clarence there is something you must understand right now, and right from the start. If even a word leaks that we have taken down a sex slave center, everyone who was using this for their own perverted end would just go underground. I want to end it all. I want to stop this trade in boys and girls world wide. To ensure that I must keep it a secret to the rest of the world. Going to a tough problem. If I had just let you go it would have only peaked your interest and you would have gone on digging and reporting only here say. I couldn't let that happen."

"I'm beginning to understand Commander. I will give you my 100% support now. As will my crew. Don't blame the pilots though they were just following my orders."

"I don't, considering they said you ordered them to declare an emergency. Which by the way under international law will get you personally a 100,000 dollar fine."

"If I press charges."

"So where does that leave me now Commander?"

"Simple Clarence. I have your word you won't try to communicate outside. You have complete access to any place you wish to go inside Burundi. You can record anything. I'll supply a vehicle and security to you. Go where you wish record what you wish. I want the whole story recorded. I will want the world to know why I am doing what I am doing. And you have an exclusive."

"I think we can work together, but I was just a little pissed when you grabbed my dick in the torture chamber."

I laughed.

"Clarence you have a nice cock. I'm gay. You were tied down. But not to worry I already have only one love. I just wanted to piss you off and get into your head and that at that point I could do anything I wish."

"And I still can."

"You're a bastard Commander."

"Yes I am."

"Mike make sure these gentlemen have a vehicle and escort. They have free access to anywhere in Burundi. Their to get full cooperation from all my staff and employees."

"Yes Sir."

"By the way Clarence I didn't hear you protest when I did grab you." I laughed.

He just glared at me. I got up and slowly walked into the crowd of youngsters. Talking and listening to them. I could very easily fall in love with all these young boys and girls. I guess to me they were all of one family. Our Family.

Even as I walked among them, several more were brought in from the searches. God how many were enslaved here I wondered. I just couldn't fathom that all of the people of Burundi owned slaves. It boggled the mind to think about it. A fully functioning Slave State in 2030.

I was interrupted in my thoughts by Ari.

"Commander. I need to speak with you."

"Okay Ari. Lets go outside."

I made my way slowly through the throng of young boys and girls. And out into the sun.

"Okay what's the problem now?"

"Abu Asan Mucbar, the Head of State of New Babylon has protested the presence of the heavy infantry on his border. He says he has done nothing to provoke this latent aggression on our part."

"Well maybe its time we had a talk with him."

"Okay sir I'll set up an armored convoy."

"No Ari, no armor, no convoy. I'll fly there in one of the cormorants. You, Mike, and two security guards will accompany me."

"But Sir the Contract. If he is in on this you could be taken."

"I really don't think he will do anything. Not with two Heavy Armored Infantry Battalions sitting on his border. He'd be a fool."

"I don't like it Commander, but you are my Commander."

"Okay Ari to please you, we will be escorted by four Apache's."

"When would you like to go Commander?"

"Why not now. Make it happen General."

"Yes Sir!"

I turned looked back at the hanger we were using as quarters for the liberated kids. Mike was talking to two young security guards.

"MIKE!" I yelled.

"SIR."

"Your with me and bring those two security men with you."

All three ran over to me.

"Lets Go."

I headed for the helicopter pads. I could see Ari issuing orders as we approached.

"Everything ready Ari?"

"Yes Sir. The Cormorant has just been fueled and is ready to go. The Apache's will lift of as we do."

"Good lets this side show on the road."

The Helicopter we climbed into had been part of the Sultans fleet of aircraft. It looked like it had been set up as a troop transport. Bucket seats, no frills. We strapped in and soon were in the air enroute to the Capital of New Babylon. As soon as we crossed the border I noticed an extreme change from Burundi. Below was fields of green, irrigated farms, canals, paved roads. Not the desert of Burundi. I was astounded. As far as the eye could see it was green. Approaching the capital I noticed huge factories, but without the normal smoking chimneys of other places I had been. Even Ari was in awe.

"It looks more like Israel." he said.

As we flew in low over the city, I could see it was built in concentric circles. Thinking that the sheiks palace would be in the center I directed the pilot to fly there. All there was in the center was a huge park. Now where?

"There appears to be someone waving at us by that house next to the park Sir" the copilot said.

When I looked, there was indeed someone waving. I told the pilot to head over to it. When we got closer I could see a helicopter pad with an H painted in the middle.

"Set us down."

After landing and the helicopter had spooled down I opened the door and stepped out. As an after thought I turned and removed my belt, leaving my sidearm in the helicopter.

Both Mike and Ari had an astounded look on their faces at my action.

"If he had wanted to kill me, he could have brought the helicopter down with a stinger."

I walked toward the young man standing at the edge of the pad. As I got closer I could see he was dressed as a sheik, with flowing robes.

He stepped forward.

"Welcome Commander to my humble home."

"Thank you Sheik Abu Asan Mucbar."

"No, no please call me Abu. The Sheik Title is a hold over from my father."

Against better judgment I think I liked the young man standing in front of me.

"Come let us get out of this sun. Bring your security. I don't mind. I know a man of your stature and power needs protection."

I signaled Ari and Mike to follow us as we made our way over to a very nice House, not a palace as I had imagined but a very comfortable looking home. Built of white stone, with colored relief's under all windows and over the doors. When we got inside the temperature dropped by 20 degrees. He escorted us to an indoor courtyard.

"A very nice home Abu. I would have thought you would have something much more elaborate considering your status."

"My Status. Ha, ha, ha, I am only a citizen of New Babylon. Granted I am President, but that Title too is only in name only. New Babylon is a democracy. The Prime Minister has all the power."

"But it was you who sent the message protesting the Infantry on your border."

"Ah! Well I am the head of our Armed Forces. Huh!"

"Sheik Mucbar may I present Gen. Ari Ben Israel and Brigadier Gen Mike Rarog of the Third (Benji) Brigade of the International Security Command."

"It is an Honor to finally meet you Gen Israel. Your exploits are of what legends are made of."

"Now let us sit down and discuss the reasons for two Heavy Armored Infantry Battalions sitting on my border."

After sitting down and after being served cold drinks.

"Mike do you have the Contract?"

"Yes Sir." and he pulled it from a brief case he was carrying.

I handed it to Abu and then sat back as he read it. He set it down on the table and then looked straight at me.

"Although this contract was signed by my father, I don't see what the problem is. Under the contract New Babylon agreed to allow Burundi to ship oil through the port, as they don't have one. We are paid $3.00 per barrel shipped. We also allow ships to deliver goods and food stuffs through our port at a nominal fee."

"And the persons no longer of use to the Sultan?"

"As I understand it my father agreed to allow the Sultan to send people to his farms and plantations spread around the globe."

"Have you ever met any of the people the Sultan was sending to his farms and plantations?"

"No I have not. But I still don't see the problem you have Commander. I and Babylon have done nothing wrong. Yet you have place two Heavy Armored Battalions on my Border."

"I would like to show you exactly the type of persons being shipped by the Sultan to his so called farms and plantations. Can you travel to Burundi with me now. If you wish you may bring anyone you wish with you."

"I trust you Commander. And I would love to see what you perceive as a great enough threat to station those two Infantry Units on New Babylon's border."

We exited the home of Abu and walked to the Helicopter. As we approached the four Apache's started to spool up. After we were in and belted down the Cormorant spooled up and soon we in the air heading for Burundi. Thirty minutes later we landed next the hanger with the kids. After exiting, we started to walk toward the hanger.

"I can see why anyone would be worried with the Forces I see deployed here Commander."

"You'll see why in just a moment Abu."

WE walked into the hanger and were immediately surrounded by happy boys and girls.

"Who are all these children? Abu Asked.

"These are the type of people the Sultan sent to his plantations and farms. These kids were all rescued from Brothels, Hotels, Sex Clubs and bars through out the city."

"What do you mean rescued?"

"These boys and girls were all slaves. Sex Slaves."

"That's, that's preposterous. Who, who condone such a thing?"

"The Sultan."

"You mean he owned all these children?"

"No! But he did kidnap all of them and train them to be sex slaves by abusing them, forcing them to do any perverted thing he wished and then sold them to the slave owners in the city. Any that could not be trained or displeased the Sultan were shipped else where through your Port."

"I find that very hard to believe Commander."

I turned to one of the boys standing close by.

"What's your name son?"

"Adrian Sir."

"Adrian where were you when my men found you?"

"I was a room service attendant at the Marcot Hotel."

"What were your duties Son."

"I would deliver food and drink orders to any room I was told to go to."

"What else Adrian?"

Tears started down his face as he looked at me. I picked him up in my arms and wrapped him up, holding him close.

"What else Adrian? No one is going to hurt you anymore. I promise."

"I was required to service any guest who asked."

"Service how Adrian?"

"Please Sir no. I don't want to talk about that."

"It's okay Adrian we won't talk about that anymore. I promise."

It seemed like a flash and Benji was at my side.

"I'll take him Brin."

"Benji have you met Sheik Abu Asan Mucbar?"

Benji looked real hard at his face and then at his clothes.

"No Brin. It is very nice to meet you Sir."

Benji turned away leading the crying Adrian. He was talking to the young man as they walked.

"He is a very good looking young Man Commander. One of your employees?"

"No actually he is my lover. He was once a sex slave like all these here. He was sent away from here through your port to on of the Sultans Slave Markets. He was sold and eventually left to die in the cold in Alberta. That's where I found him."

"If you don't believe me Abu. Talk to them." I indicated the throng of boys and girls.

Abu started to walk through the throng of boys and girls, stopping often and asking questions. I just stood and watched. After almost forty minutes Abu came back to where I was standing. I could tell just by looking at him that he had being crying at some point in his journey around the hanger.

"I am sorry Commander, I didn't know, I really didn't know. If anyone in my Government knew of this I will find out and personally kill him. The Sultan is a madman."

"Now you see my reasoning in having the two Heavy Infantry Battalions on your border. If you had knowledge of this you might have tried to subvert or even stop what I was doing. Also several hundred of the Sultans Guard force crossed the border into your country. I want all of them back to face charges."

Commander I will have my police round up all the former guards from here and have them sent back. However I may need help in identifying them."

"Thank you Abu."

"I will have the Cormorant return you home. For now the Units on your border will remain in place until I am sure Sir of your sincerity."

"Accepted."

Mike and two security guards escorted Abu out the pad and stayed with him as they flew back to New Babylon.

My stomach growled. Damn I hadn't eaten anything today. I signaled to Benji.

"Can you get away love? I'm hungry and haven't eaten all day."

I saw a sparkle in his eye at my mention of eating. Knowing what he was thinking, gave his tight butt a squeeze.

"After some real food we can try some other if you want."

He almost swooned.

"I'm hungry too, and not just for you Brin."

We headed outside.

"The mess hall or would you like to try something local?"

"Lets try something away from here. I feel so sad surrounded by all those boys and girls. I'm happy their free, but they need so much love and I can only give a little."

"Help is on the way Buddy. Help is on the way."

But from where? God how I needed help now. Who could I trust, who could I call to help. I just didn't know.

We walked toward one of the armored H2's Ari had shipped in from Israil. As we approached a security guard opened the back door. After we were in I noticed how cool it was. It must be close to 40C outside. I wondered what it was like in the hanger. I knew they had bathroom facilities in the hanger but how about showers.?

"Where to Sir?" the driver asked.

"A good restaurant if there is one."

"Actually Sir there are several. Do you want something local or catering to European or Western food?"

"Local." Benji said.

"Yes Commander."

"You can call me Benji."

"No Sir. I can't you are my Commander. It would not be right."

Benji looked exasperated at the mans reply.

I just laughed at his discomfort.

"Benji you need to get used to the fact that you are Deputy Commander of the International Security Command. Everyone will call you Sir or Commander from now on. Just accept it. You deserve it, now more than ever."

"I just prefer Benji."

The driver delivered us to a small restaurant close to downtown Burundi. The food was excellent and as much as I would like to say what we had I couldn't read the menu and said to bring us what he the waiter thought was the best on the menu.

After eating I had the driver take us to our suite in the hotel we had commandeered. When I entered the suite I noticed a Command Communications Center had been installed. I also noticed the priority light blinking on the consol.

"Get out of your uniform and shower while I check this out Benji."

"Yes Brin!" Benji gleefully said.

I sat down at the COM Center. I keyed in my access code.

PRIORITY ONE, PRIORITY ONE. Flashed on a screen.

I picked up the hand set and then keyed the receive switch.

"Ah Commander finally."

"Good day Mr. President." I said.

"Been busy eh. I had a very enlightened conversation with my Attorney General today. I have to honest I at first did not believe him. However after reviewing the Story of Edson Boy and seeing pictures of his abuse I changed my mind. Mo has told me that you have liberated almost a hundred boys and girls. He also told me that you are intent on ending this trade in sex slaves no matter the cost. You will not have to bear the cost Commander. I have decided that NorAm and all its services will support this quest. I have ordered the Good Hope II, stationed at Diego Garcia to sail at once for Burundi. I have also ordered the Indian Ocean Support Group to assist you in anyway you need. I have placed both under your command. The Marine Carrier Bataan has been detached from the Persian Gulf fleet to supply helicopter support to move your liberated slaves to the Good Hope when it arrives."

"Mr. President I don't what to say. You have answered a prayer. Since Mo left the liberated boys and girls total has swollen to over 200. With more coming in all the time as we search Burundi."

"You can thank me later Commander. Actually I think the world will thank you later."

He then disconnected.

The Good Hope II. Wow! The Largest Hospital Ship in the world. 2000 bed spaces, Operating rooms, recreation facilities, Doctors and nurses of all types. Three helicopter pads. And a marine Assault Carrier. Plus the Support Group.

I hadn't thought that I was speaking out load until.

"What's the Good Hope Brin?" Benji asked.

"Our salvation Benji. A place where all our boys and girls can get help. All the help they need. My prayer has been answered my Love. Now we can help them all."

When I turned and looked at Benji he was standing nude beside me, with a very hard cock standing straight out from his body.

"Hmm! Very nice." As I ran my hand over it.

"I need a quick, very quick shower and then I think I might like to play with that rod of yours love."

"You better be quick or I might just have to go back to the hanger and find someone."

After a quick shit, shower and shave came back out to find Benji slowly jacking himself on the bed.

"Trying to get a head start love."

I laid down on the bed and sucked his wonderful cock into my mouth. He turned around so he could take my cock into his mouth, We didn't 69 very often but now if felt wonderful to suck him as he sucked me. We Didn't rush, /doing it slowly and enjoying each other cock. I loved to suck him and I loved it when he sucked me. This was a slow burn, slowly not wanting it to end but knowing as we continued we were each finding a new high. Benji came first, he always said I was the best cocksucker. After he came he always remained very hard. I continued to suck him until I couldn't hold back anymore and blew a huge load into his mouth and throat. I always went soft after ejaculating. No matter I turned Benji around and lifted my ass to him. He knelt down and then slowly, real slowly entered me.

"Fuck me Benji. Fuck me hard. Drive me Benji."

He started slow and slowly increased his pace. In no time he pounding my ass like a pile driver. On and on driving as hard as he could. It felt so good I never wanted it to end. But at long last he just drove into my ass deep and I felt the super heated sperm slashing inside me. After he was done he just collapsed over me. I held him running my tongue into his mouth and just loving him. I would never have enough of him ever.

"I love you Brin."

"I love you Benji. I so Love you so."

We pulled the covers over us and slept in each others arms. Now totally sated.

No one disturbed our sleep and we both awoke refreshed from 12 hours of undisrupted sleep.

"Damn Brin now I'm hungry.

"For Me."

He Laughed.

"Well as you once said, unless I get something solid to eat I may not be able to perform to your liking."

"Bull Shit. Benji you can get off a lot more than I can."

"You want me to suck you off Brin?"

"No Benji, I want you to get your beautiful ass out of bed and order Breakfast."

"And Then what?

"Duty! My young Love."

Benji bent over and kissed me and then jumped out of bed and ordered breakfast for two. He then headed for the shower. I joined him in the shower and we washed each other, we both came out hard, but knew we had a hard day ahead.

We both had just pants on when breakfast arrived, delivered by an older man.

He was quick and very efficient.

"Anything else Sirs?"

"How long have you worked for this hotel?" I asked.

Chapter 18

"How long have you worked for this hotel?"

"I have to honest Sir. I don't work for the hotel."

"What do you mean?" now slightly alarmed. Benji sensing my discomfort stepped back close to our sidearm's.

"I used a ruse to get up here to see you Sir. Don't be alarmed, I didn't come here to do you harm. I came to plead with you."

"For what?"

"Sir, not all of the citizens of Burundi are part of this slave trade. Only a very small portion maybe twenty or thirty are involved. The Sultan, through his police and soldiers controlled Burundi with an iron fist. Anyone who complained or even spoke out against him would just disappear. The hotels, brothels, night clubs and strip places were owned by the Sultan and his cronies."

"How did all this come about and when?"

"About ten years ago the present Sultan was the chief of security for the old Sultan. The old man died of a heart attack or so we were all told. When his will was read it stated that the Chief of Security was now the new Sultan. In no time at all everything changed. He brought in a huge number of ex-soldiers and mercenaries. He gave them a free hand in controlling the city. He also brought in several very rich old men, who built hotels. It wasn't long before he was staffing these hotels with very young boys and girls. Tourist trade increased, but it was all older men who came, mostly in private jets. I have a list of all the places he put boys and some girls. He mostly liked boys, very young boys. We don't know where they came from, but he seemed to have an endless supply."

"Hold on a moment."

I picked the phone and dialed a number.

"Morning Sir. Mayes here."

"Geordie can you come up please?"

"Two minutes Sir!"

I poured a cup of coffee and sat back down. Less than two minutes and there came a knock at my suite. Benji opened the door.

"Hi Geordie."

"Good morning Commander."

"I wish people would just call me Benji."

"Come in Geordie and sit down. I said.

"Yes Sir."

"How's the round up coming along?"

"It would be a lot easier if we had at an idea where all these places are. There spread all over the city. So far we have shut down six brothels and twelve sex clubs. Rescued another 55 boys, no girls, in fact there is almost no girls at all."

I turned to man sitting on the couch.

"You said you had a list of all the places these kids were. Do you have it with you?"

"Yes Sir." and he handed me a hand written sheaf of papers.

I looked it over. There must have been at 30 brothels, 12 hotels and 50 sex clubs and strip clubs listed, with the owners name and the usual number of boys enlisted. I handed the list to Geordie. He looked it over.

"Is this real Sir? If it is this will make things very easy."

"Yes I believe it is."

"If these numbers are correct there has to be over 2000 boys here alone. We don't have the space to accommodate this many Sir."

"Help is on the way. The Good Hope II will be here in a few days along with a marine assault carrier."

"Well they can't get here soon enough. If there's nothing else Sir I want to get started as soon as possible."

"Any other problems Geordie?"

"Well Sir, last night one of our patrols intercepted three trucks heading for New Babylon. There were about 25 boys in chains on board them. The three drivers tried to out run the patrol and when we finally stopped them the tried to fight and all were killed. Six boys were injured as well. They were in real pitiful shape. We had them taken directly to the MUST. I'm sorry Sir but two of the boys died enroute. We just weren't fast enough."

"It looks like their trying to get rid of all evidence. Your going to have to go after all of them at the same time. Do you need anything from my end Geordie?"

"Road blocks leading out of the city."

"Consider it done."

Geordie got up and left. I walked over to the Com Center. I keyed in Ari's command circuit.

"Yes Sir."

"Ari I want you to pull one company from the 1st and 2nd and have them set up road blocks on all roads leading out of Burundi City. Stop and search all vehicles. Especially trucks and buses. They will be looking for kids being transported out of the city."

"Consider it done Sir. Also Sir we are fast running out of space at the airport for all the liberated children. We have opened a second hanger but we are running short of bedding and clothes and food. We've started using ration packs to feed the kids."

"Start clearing any food or clothing warehouses in the city."

The man sitting on my couch said.

"We can help too. We want to help."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Mohammed Casary Sir."

"Well Mohammed if you could help that's fine. We need bedding, clothes and food to feed all these kids."

"Can I leave now Sir. I will talk to my friends and send what we can get to the airport."

"Yes you can leave and thank you Mohammed."

"No Sir! It is us that thank you for stopping that madman and all his henchmen."

I was totally awed at the numbers of slaves held by the Sultan and his friends. Twenty two hundred slaves. It boggled the mind. If he had that many here, how many did he have working, or slaving in other parts of the world. This was becoming a very, very hard plan to pull off. How was I going to stop this on a world wide basis?

Benji came over and draped an arm over my shoulder.

"Your going to stop them all aren't you Brin?"

"Yes Benji I am not going to quit until every single boy or girl, forced into sex slavery is freed. This I promise you."

"I need to get back to them at the airport Brin."

"Your right, lets get dressed and get over there."

Benji went to dress as I donned my armor and uniform. When he came out he was wearing his jeans and a t-shirt.

When I raised my eye brows.

"I look more like them now. I have my armor on but they won't notice."

"Yeah but you look good enough to eat love."

"Well we can have each other later. They don't have anyone right now so I have to help. Thank you Brin for the job you gave me."

"I just knew you were the best one for the job Benji."

We left the suite and went down to the lobby. An armored Humvee was waiting at the door. After entering we were whisked to the airport. When we arrived there were hundreds of kids wandering between the mess tent and now two hangars. I noticed there were at least nineteen private jets or prop aircraft parked on the apron. The airport was becoming very crowded. Two C-17's were unloading close by and another was heading to take off. Benji kissed me and then headed for the main hangar. I instructed the driver to take me to the main Command Center. After a short drive we arrived at a semi-trailer.

I entered and sat down in the command chair in front of the consol. I keyed in my command password. The screens lit up and showed me all the positions of my unit in Burundi. The Eddies were centered on Burundi City. It also showed the positions of all other units. I turned to the Commander of the Command Center.

"Well Colonel what's happening?"

"Sir. As per your orders units from the 1st and 2nd are setting up road blocks on all roads leading out of Burundi City. The Eddies are doing a coordinated assault on all hotels, brothels, sex clubs and strip clubs. I have dispatched additional transport to assist. The Good Hope II will arrive at 21:30 hours tomorrow. The Marine Assault Carrier Bataan will arrive at 19:30 today. New Babylon port control has notified me that the SS Morgan, one of the Sultan's two cargo ships will arrive early tomorrow. Presently there are 425 young men and 65 young girls presently here at the airport. Twenty three boys and six girls are presently in hospital. Four young men were found dead this morning in the hangar. They appeared to have committed suicide. All the rest appear to be adjusting to there new found freedom. However some appear to be enjoying each other. We are not sure Sir how to deal with them."

"Don't deal with them. If they need a release, let them. As long as their not forcing themselves on someone else just let it happen."

"Well I'm just not sure Sir."

"Are you gay, straight or bi Colonel?"

"I'm gay Sir, but they are so young."

"And they have been forced into this situation. Some, in fact most are probably gay or bi. So they need release, just as you do and I do. Let them find there own way. In time after they leave this environment maybe they'll change, but I doubt it."

"Sudan has pulled back from the border. However satellite surveillance shows their being reinforced by at least two armored divisions. They have also moved up anti-aircraft missile batteries."

"So your opinion Colonel?"

"Well Sir Sudan has an underground pipeline into the port in New Babylon, they may use that as a pretext to invade Burundi to protect the export point for their oil. With our present forces we may be able to delay their assault but, not stop it. With their two armored divisions they will have over a thousand tanks and 15000 infantry."

"How long Colonel do you think we have before they can make a move?"

"Ten days minimum. Probably more like three weeks. They don't appear to be in any hurry."

I had already committed my largest Armored Division to Chad for UN service. My only other Armored formation was already in Burundi. I knew our tanks were top line, but against a thousand tanks, it was still iffy. Granted I had two squadrons of Apaches, but with their anti-aircraft missile batteries, it put my apaches in real danger. I needed Ari.

"Contact Ari and have come here."

"Yes Sir."

I turned back to my consol and started to deal with the business of my company. After working for several hours I was caught up on all the day to operations of my company. Ari arrived as I was sitting enjoying a cup of coffee.

"You sent for me Commander?"

"Yes Ari. Colonel bring him up to date."

After the Colonel had told Ari everything he told me.

"Well my General?"

"Sir, you are in command of the Indian Ocean Support Group, along with the Good Hope II."

"Yes."

"And a marine Assault Carrier."

"Ari, by order of the President, no American troops on African soil."

"But he didn't say you could not use their missles or guns, or even their helicopters?"

"Brin, Commander, the Support Group has three 8" gun cruisers. AS well as being missile cruisers."

"The Marine Assault Carrier has 15 Apache Attack Helicopters."

"Your asking me to order them to help repel the pending assault from Sudan."

"Yes Commander."

"Might work. But now an immediate problem. Until the Good hope gets here we are running out of room. We need a second messing tent and more of everything. Bedding, food and clothes. Any suggestions?"

"Too bad the Good Hope won't arrive sooner."

"Well maybe we need to put a fire under them."

"Colonel connect me with the Indian Ocean Support Group Commander."

"Admiral Cunningham Sir."

"Present speed and course Admiral.

"15 knots, course 231. ETA, 21:30 tomorrow."

"What's the flank speed of the Good Hope?"

"36 knots Sir, why?"

"Order the Good Hope to increase to flank speed. I need her here ASAP."

"I don't recommend that Sir."

"Admiral ORDER the increase in speed. If you have a problem take it up with the President."

"Increasing all ships to flank Sir. Be advised we will need to tank after we arrive. New arrival time 0530 tomorrow."

"What's the arrival time of the Bataan?

"1930 Sir."

"Okay Ari, any thing else you need?"

"Well Sir if I had the tank crews, I could use the Sultans 40 leopard iv's."

"I'll see what I can do Ari. Thank you my friend."

"Every single man I have will march into hell for you Sir. I will lead them."

I knew now that I would strip every unit I had world wide to end this. No matter what it takes I was going to end this plague. Buying and selling kids for sex was going to end once and for all. Even it I had to commit everything I owned And everything I held dear. To hell with the UN, to hell with the World Court. Now I had a war. But I was not a warrior. I guess I needed to change. I reconnected with Edmonton and ordered all Armor trained personnel to put on the first aircraft that arrived in Edmonton. Priority One. After disconnecting sat back to just think. What a mess. On reflection I guess I wouldn't change much if I had to do it again. I loved Benji with everything I had and I would end this scourge one way or another. I needed information. I hadn't heard anything yet from the interrogation teams brought in by Ari, but it was still early. They'd only arrived last night. Time I guess is what I needed most right now. I also needed to pull the teeth of the Sudanese forces, but how.

"Sir you have an incoming call from the Attorney General of NorAm." the Colonel said.

Mo finally. I'd heard from the President but nothing from Mo.

"Commander Brin here Mo."

"Brin we are enroute to Israel. We'll transfer to an ISC C-17 for the flight to Burundi. I have twelve special Investigators and four Special Prosecutors as well as twenty SS men, by order of the President. All have been sworn to total secrecy. We should be in Burundi no later than noon tomorrow."

"Mo Ari has supplied me with six special interrogators from the Mossad. They are interrogating the Sultan and the other men arrested here."

"Good. I was going to ask him if he knew of any we could use. Under the new rules of the world court Chemical Interrogation is allowed to obtain information directly dealing with criminal activity. I would call child slavery a criminal activity. How many foreign nationals have been detained to date?"

"Eighteen. With more flying in every day. I'm running out of room on my apron here for all the private aircraft."

"I have some ideas to deal with that. I will discuss them with you when I get there."

"Okay Mo. Good to here from you and know that you hadn't forgot me."

"Brin I need to tell you that the movements of ships, personal, and aircraft is starting to be noticed by the media. Do you have a contingency plan if a W.W. News plane lands at the airport?"

"We'll just shoot it down. Only kidding. And yes we have a contingency plan in place."

"See you soon Brin, God Bless you."

I hung up and started to turn in my chair.

"Sheik Mucbar is on hold for you Sir."

"Good Morning Abu."

"Commander we have in custody to date 92 persons from Burundi. They have asked for political Asylum. They say they will be unfairly prosecuted in Burundi if they are returned. I have informed them that if I find they have committed an offense in Burundi, which would lead to their prosecution, they will be tried here under Islamic Law."

"But I was under the impression that New Babylon was a democracy."

"It is Commander. Half almost 45% of New Babylon citizens are Moslem and 45% are Jewish. The parliament is evenly split, half Moslem and half Jewish. Under our laws you can be tried in either court, however because they are requesting asylum just to prevent their prosecution in Burundi, they all will be tried under Islamic Law."

"Do they know the punishment for murder and rape under Islamic Law?"

"Not yet, because the Prime Minister is still deciding weather to give them asylum."

"Abu I have another problem, while I have you on the phone. I need a place to refuel the Good Hope II. I also need to refuel several warships from the Indian Ocean Support Group."

"Commander the Good Hope II can refuel at our docks in Port of New Babylon. Dock 17. The Support Group Oilier can refuel there too."

"Sounds good Abu. Let me know the Prime Ministers decision."

"I will Commander. I hope this will give you reason to pull back your two heavy infantry Battalions from our border."

"Abu they are already on the move, to the Sudanese border."

"You have a problem with Sudan?"

"Yes their building up their forces on the border. We think they might use the premise that one of their pipelines connects with New Babylon port, to invade to protect it."

"Excuse my language Commander, but that's Bullshit. Sudan does not ship oil through New Babylon. They have a super port up the coast. The pipeline was put in a long tome ago and now only connects to empty wells."

"That information is a real godsend Abu. Thank you. From now on I would prefer you called me Brin. All my friends call me Brin."

"It would be a honor Brin."

Abu hung up and I was almost giddy. Now I had a pair of pliers to pull some teeth.

My stomach growled.

"Colonel I'm going to one of the mess tents for something to eat."

"Very good Sir."

I exited the Command Center and headed for one of the mess tents. Two Security guards fell in behind me. They were never far away. As I walked I looked around and watched all the activities of the port. The place was teaming with young boys. Mostly dressed in what they had been wearing when they were rescued. If Benji hadn't been my one true love I could have fallen in love with any of these boys. Even as I walked they all seemed to know me and came up and thanked me or just touched me. The tears were streaming down my face long before I reached the nearest Mess Tent. It really hurt to see so many boys who had been abused and tortured just to please another mans desires. I was I guess unlucky because Clarence and his crew were filming as I walked up. He caught me when I was most vulnerable. In real mental pain at the spectacle of all these kids, free now, but I knew what they had been through.

"Any comments you want to make Commander?"

"I wish I could execute everyone that was responsible for this atrocity."

"With out a fair trial Commander?"

"Yes!"

"Doesn't that make you Judge, Jury and Executioner."

"I suppose it does Clarence. But what is your opinion. You've seen where these kids have had to serve. You've seen what they had to do. You've witnessed the depravities that these kids had to endure. If you were in my place, what would you do Clarence?"

"I honestly don't know. I have never in all my years of reporting the news ever been put in this position. Sometimes Commander I wish I had just disappeared."

"Clarence your now in my position. I'm just a Corporate Commander. I own the International Security Command. Sure every single man and women who works for me loves me, but I and they have never been in a position like this. I've had to hold men and women back from just summarily executing slave owners or overseers. Even when I really wanted to do just that."

"Commander."

"No more questions. I'm hungry I need to get something to eat."

"Only ration packs in this tent Commander."

"Then I'll eat ration packs."

I picked up an MRE from the table and sat down. Oh great Ham and Eggs, Cake, Cheese and crackers.

All the time Clarence and his crew were filming. Slowly and to me just eating never noticed, but the boys all seemed to move closer to my solitary self eating. When I looked up all I could see was a sea of faces, some smiling, other crying. But they all seemed to want to be as close to me as they could. Like I was a magnet.

I stopped eating and turned to a boy just three feet from the table.

"Hi son how are you doing?"

"Okay I guess Sir."

I couldn't resist, I opened my arms to him.

"Come here Son."

He almost flew into my outstretched arms. And was crying on my shoulder. I held him tight to me and stood up. In a flash they were all around me. Some clutching at my uniform, others just wanting to touch me. I turned to Clarence.

"What would you do Clarence?"

In almost a whisper.

"Kill them all, kill them all."

"Careful Clarence your starting to think like me."

I cradled the young boy in my arms as I slowly made my way out of the mess tent. I walked slowly, with the throng of youngsters always trying to get closer. I saw Benji way off to one side. He was smiling. God I loved him and I loved what he was doing. But I guess inside there was a lot more love in me than just for him. I really did love all these young men. And Benji knew it. And he knew I had lots left for him.

"Any other thoughts Clarence?"

"The only word I can think of Sir is that among all your women and men you are a God to these young men. You have taken them out of bondage, you have given them back their lives, you have freed them from slavery, Moses would be a better name for you Sir."

"I had reservations on doing this Commander. But no more. I like your men and women will follow you into hell if necessary to end this trade. And my crew would like to be on your payroll. They have told me they think your better than World Wide News any day. Sir you have such passion for what your doing that it seems to supersede anything else. I have never seen anyone who puts 100% on the line for a single cause. Would you really put all your money into ending this trade in boys and girls?"

"Yes Clarence, I will. Everything I have, everything I own. Everything."

"I'm not a God Clarence. I'm just someone with a mission."

"A God you may not be but you are definitely a Saint to these young kids."

"No Clarence I'm just a man who loves. Loves freedom for everyone. Freedom from want. Freedom to do as they please. Freedom to pick who they want to be. Freedom from slavery, especially sex slavery, or slavery of any kind. I just want everyone to be free to do as they themselves choose. Is that too much to ask?"

"Maybe Commander, but you have made a good start."

"Now I need to get back to work."

But even as I tried to head to the Command Post, more and more kids surrounded me. All wanted to touch me, or have me talk to them. I still had a young boy on my arm. Resigned I headed for the main hangar. Once inside I made my way to a table and sat down. The boy on my shoulder kissed me and said thank you. For the next several hours I was kissed and touched, sometimes below the belt line, by over 300 boys. Benji stood close by as each and every single boy came up to thank me. Some kissing me, but most just touching me and saying thank you.

"They all love you Brin." Benji whispered.

"I'm not a great catch Benji. Why?"

"I told them you are their God Brin. You brought them out of slavery. You will show them where to go from here. You are their only love now. I'm sorry Brin, but I've come to love them as I love you. I hope you can share me with them."

"Benji I love you above all else. If you love them, then I love them too. If they are apart of you then they are apart of me. Although I'm sure I can't sleep with 2200 boys, even that is beyond a God." I laughed.

"Brin they know I am your lover. They just want to a part of your life, as I am. I know I love you more than anything else in the world, but now I have fallen love with all these boys. I can't love them as I do you. But I can love them as part of you. They need love now, more than all your employees could ever give. They even know that they won't be wanted in some countries because their gay. But they want to be loved. And I know you love them all."

"Your right Benji I do love them all. But I don't know yet what to do."

Chapter 19

I needed a plan to deal with all these boys. But what? I stood up and raised my hands. After all the boys and girls quieted down.

"Some how, some where, I'll now guarantee you will all have a place in my life. I love you all, every single one of you as I love Benji. He wants you part of his life and because of that I want you now part of mine. It will take time, but hold onto the thought. I never ever back down once I have made a commitment. Now I must get back to work. Your work. Finding a place so all of you can be part of my life."

I made my way through the throng of boys and girls, out into the sunshine. Now what do I do. As usual my big mouth has put in another position which seems to have no answer. I walked back to the command center. All around the Airport of Burundi was teeming with activity. There seemed to be an unending stream of trucks coming in and unloading more and more freed slaves. The Good Hope needed to be here now, but I knew it was coming at full speed to my rescue and their rescue. I entered the command center and sat down and put my head in my hands. Twenty five hundred kids. No not kids anymore. Young adults, that had been forced to grow up too early.

"What the fuck was I going to do with twenty five hundred gay or bi boys and girls."

"Sir." the colonel said.

"Yes Colonel now what?"

"Sir. When I was just a kid back in Saskatoon, they had a place called Boystown. It was at that time just for kids who committed petty crimes. Maybe you could make a new Boystown for all these kids."

"Well we will see Colonel, but first things first. Any change in the present situation?"

"No Sir."

"Good."

"Where is my Jet?"

"Here Sir, it arrived back last night about midnight. The pilots are rested and the aircraft has been serviced."

"Now send a security guard to get Benji and bring him here."

My mind in turmoil I just sat and waited for Benji. When he arrived I just sat and looked at him.

"What's wrong Brin?" he asked his voice quavering.

"Nothing that you can help me with love. Lets go to our suite. I'm tired and need your company."

"Just my company?" he asked with a sly grin.

The Colonel laughed.

I stood up and spun him around and gave him a mild slap on his ass.

"Your getting more sassy all the time love. Must time for a little discipline."

"Ooooooh! I'd love that love."

"Just wait until I get you alone you little imp." I laughed.

We walked out into the sun and over to my Humvee.

"Home. Well at least our home away from home." I told the driver.

After we were in our suite, I undressed and headed for the shower. Benji almost beat me there. We enjoyed a long luxurious shower. Both of us were very hard when we finished. After drying off I led Benji to the bed and slowly pushed him down on his back. I lifted his legs and started run my tongue up and down his sweet ass crack. I then started to lick and push my tongue into his love bud. His moans of pleasure just pushed me onward. I then brought my swollen cock up to his rose bud and slowly, ever so slowly entered him. I pushed in until I was fully in him and then just held it there.

"Oh fuck me Brin, Fuck me hard please." Benji moaned.

I started slow. Sliding out so slow, until just my head was in him and then slowly back in. Then back out, but this time I drove in as hard as I could., I started to pump in and out faster and faster, driving my cock deep into his anal canal. His moans of pleasure just drove me to fuck him harder. I guess I wanted him to say stop your hurting, but he just kept moaning in ecstasy as I drove full throttle into him. I was getting very close to Cumming when I pulled out and grabbed his head and pushed my cock into his mouth and throat. He totally taken by surprise as I drove my cock deep into his throat and unloaded. The look in his eyes told me he was now really scared. I didn't care I just fucked his mouth and throat until I was totally expended. I pulled out and stood up. I turned my ass to him.

"RIM ME!" I ordered.

Benji sat up and started to run his tongue up and down my crack. It felt so good but, I just couldn't let him suffer any more. I stood up and turned to him.

"I'm sorry Benji but, I needed to know. You still are thinking like one of those young men out there. You do as I tell you, but you need to know I would rather you said NO."

"But Brin I love you and I will always do anything you tell me."

"Are you scared of me my love."

"A little I guess. I can never tell when you are being loveable or are serious."

Benji with you I am always being loveable. If I order you to do something you would rather not, refuse. I won't stop loving you ever, no matter what you say or do."

"So this was just a test?"

"Not a test Benji. I just needed to be in charge. Here and now in this country I feel so detached, Like I have no control or that I am slowly losing control of the situation."

"Brin to me and to all those young men out there you will always be in control. You're their savior. They will do anything you ask without question or reason. You could order anyone of them to suck you or to turn and fuck them without question and thank you after ward for giving something of you to them."

"That's what bothers me Benji."

"You really do love them all don't you?"

"Yes I guess I do."

"And you still love me?"

"Yes Benji more than ever. And I think its time I finally proved that once and for all. Tomorrow when Mo gets in we will get married in front of all those young men and women."

"Oh Brin you will make me the happiest boy in the world."

With that he jumped on me and smothered me with kisses. I pushed him down on the sofa and sucked his cock into my mouth. He held my head as he pumped in and out of my mouth and throat. He must have been very Horney because less that minute later I tasted his sweet sperm as it gushed into my mouth and throat.

"Wow! That was quick. I think I'll need another load from you later."

"Sorry Brin, but looking at all those young men does things to me."

"It does things to me to love."

We ordered dinner and sat relaxed afterward enjoying a drink, me scotch, Benji a coke. We were just about to retire for a little more love making when my communications station buzzed.

"Shit now what?" I said out loud.

"Well Sir, I would say your always on call."

"That Sir will get you a spanking later."

"Sorry Brin, it just slipped out."

I picked up the commo phone.

"Yes!"

"Sorry to bother you Sir, but the Bataan has arrived with her escort group. General Blake of the Fourth Marine Assault Group wishes to speak with you."

"Put him through."

"Commander Brin here General Blake."

"Where do you want us Sir?"

"I beg you pardon General. What do you mean where do I want you?"

"Sir. I have 1500 marines, 100 M1A8 tanks, 250 LAV 7's. 20 Apache Attack Helicopters and 10 Raptures. We also have 15 Osprey Transports. My Marines have been ordered by the President to support you in any way we can."

"I'm sorry General, but I was under the impression that no NorAm troops were to be deployed on African soil."

"Commander, my orders from the President state I am to put my entire command at your disposal."

"General we need to talk face to face before we deploy any of your units. Can you fly here to my HQ."

"Be there in 30 minutes. Can I land an Osprey at your hotel."

"Yes there's a pad on the roof."

"See you shortly Commander."

He hung up.

"Get General Israel and have him at the hotel in 15 minutes, also Geordie, and Colonel White." I ordered the Communications Officer.

"So much for making love to you Benji, or even paddling your bottom. Got to get dressed to receive guests."

Benji just smiled and headed into the bedroom. I followed. He was pulling out armor, desert fatigues, and weapons.

"You can go to bed if you want Benji. It's going to be along night."

"I'll need to know. I'm your deputy."

"Yes you will."

We both dressed and then went out and ordered coffee from room service, lots of coffee.

The first to arrive was General Mayes, followed closely by General Israel. We all heard the Osprey as it arrived. Noisy, but still the best transport for troops around.

General Blake arrived with his Marine Commander, Air Group Commander and Transport Commander in tow.

"Coffee Gentlemen or something stronger." I asked.

"Scotch if you have it." General Blake said.

I pored a liberal portion of 100 year old scotch into a tumbler.

"Ice General."

"No thanks."

"A man after my own heart Sir. Only thing needed in good scotch is more good scotch."

He laughed out loud and then handed me his orders.

While I was reading them everyone else helped themselves to what ever they wanted.

THE ORDERS:

Eyes Only: 31/05/20

GENERAL BLAKE, Thomas C.
Fourth Marine Assault Group.
Persian Gulf.

BY PRESIDENTIAL ORDER:
Order # 31-23716/02

General Blake you are hereby ordered to move your Assault Group and all its Assets to Burundi, in the Red Sea. Upon arrival you place all you forces under the Command of Brin Sadac of the International Security Command or his Ground Commander.

In as much this will entail putting NorAm troops into and on the continent of Africa, General Order 30-4173/30 is superseded by this order.

The defense of Burundi and New Babylon is now classified as in best interests of NorAm.

General Blake, I know what you may feel putting your troops under another command may be offensive to you. But I have total confidence in Commander Brin and his Corporation. The fact that I place you in a subordinate position is no reflection on you or your ability. I hold you and the Fourth Marine Assault Brigade in the highest esteem.

General render all assistance you can. I think you will know what's involved when you see what I have only seen in pictures.

BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT

I sat back after reading the orders.

"Lets go for a drive General."

"If that's what you want Commander."

"Benji we'll be back in an hour. Keep everyone here and entertained Love."

"Yes Brin."

We left our suite and went down to the lobby, Mike had informed the ready driver of our arrival. We climbed in my humvee, and ordered the driver to take me to the airport. When we arrived the lights were still on in both hangers and there must have a 200 to 300 boys milling around.

"What's all this Commander."

"This is the reason I came to Burundi, or better yet this is why I invaded Burundi."

"I'm not sure I understand. Where did all these kids come from?"

"Well lets see now, brothels, sex clubs, strip bars, dungeons. private homes and the palace."

"You mean they were the ones who were servicing all those places?"

"Yes General and not by choice. These were all sex slaves, brought here to service anyone who wanted them."

"What do mean Sex Slaves? Slavery is outlawed world wide."

"But not here in Burundi. Here they were kidnapped, bought by the Sultan, abused and trained and then sold to service anyone who wanted their services. Any Service, anal, oral, whipping, torture, specifically sexual torture, or anything a client might want."

"Come General lets get out and walk."

"I'm not sure Sir."

"General are you afraid of your past?"

General Blake was black, probably the blackest black man I had ever met.

"Lets walk." he said

As soon as we exited the vehicle, I was surrounded by boys. All knew me, either on sight or by reputation. They seemed to shy away from General Blake. I picked up a young man and held him as I walked. Another wanted me so I handed the first to General Blake. He wrapped his arms around the young man and just held him. I looked and could see tears now streaming down his face. I held the second young boy and kissed him saying I loved him. He thanked me and I set down and picked up another. General Blake was now surrounded like I was. We stopped at a table close to the main hanger. General Blake set down the young man he was holding and kissed him as he moved away.

"Well General. Any questions?"

"No! I know now why you are here. You have my total and complete self at your command. If I showed my men this they would probably kill every single slave owner in this country. But know this Commander, The Fourth will not fail you as long as I command it."

"Okay lets go back and we'll figure out what we need most from your command General."

It took along time to disengage from all the boys. But we finally able to climb back into my humvee and retreat to my hotel.

After we were in the suite, the first thing I needed was transport.

"General Blake, I need all your Ospreys to start transporting to the Good Hope when she arrives. I want every boy and girl transported there. General Ari Israel is my ground Commander. He can tell you where your marines are needed most. But I need your transport. To me that's priority one."

"After what I have seen tonight I agree. General Israel, your reputation precedes you. I think my Marines are in good hands if you command them."

"Sir I prefer to leave your Marines under their own Commanders. Men fight better when they know their Commander. I would be a unknown to them."

"Know I know why you were so successful in battle. You trust your subordinates."

"So where would you like the Forth Marine Assault Brigade?"

Ari gestered to the Marine Commanders and led them to a map table. As he was speaking to them, I continued to talk to the General.

"General Blake, I don't know your particular sexual preference nor am I really interested. However I would like you to meet my deputy, and my love. General Blake, this is Benji. We are being married tomorrow."

General Blake looked long and hard at Benji and then at me. He then stood up and extended his hand.

"Congratulations Commander Brin and Commander Benji. I hope you will be very happy together. As to my preference, I am happily married with two fine daughters. When I finally get home I'm going to work on a son."

"Now as to my transports, the Ospreys. Each can carry 40 men or maybe 60 boys and girls. How many will be needed to transport all the kids to the Good Hope."

"All of them and we'll be using all our transport helicopters too. There will be over 2200 people to move."

"Twenty Two Hundred! Jesus, really that many?"

Sir it could be closer to 3,000 before were done."

"Okay my 15 Ospreys will begin transport as soon as the Good Hope arrives. I also have 6 Seahawk Helicopters on my support ships. Admiral Cunningham will have an additional 8 at least. The Good Hope has 3 helipads. She's going to be a very busy ship shortly."

"I'm going to need to talk to the Senior Medical Officer of the Good Hope as soon as she's in range."

"She's in range now. My Osprey can get us there in under two hours."

"Ari! Can you spare Mike?"

"Yes Sir."

"Mike, Benji your with me. Lets Go General."

"Commander I would prefer if you just called me Tom."

"Okay Tom call me Brin."

"Agreed. Now lets go."

WE headed to the roof and surprised the two pilots lounging next to the Osprey drinking coffee.

General Blake ordered them to get the exact location of the Good Hope and inform the Escort Commander, Admiral Cunningham that we were flying to the Good Hope. We took off in total darkness and with absolutely nothing to see flew out to sea. There was no moon out so it was like flying in a black void. Benji moved closer to me and told me he was scared.

"Relax Benji. These are the best pilots in the world, or General Blake wouldn't be on board."

The Osprey in level flight wasn't as noisy as it was in vertical, but it was still a long boring noisy flight.

"Were coming up on their location." Tom said to me.

I looked out a window and could see nothing.

"Christ I hope we have the right location for Her." I said.

All at once the Good Hope turned on every light she had. It was a sight to take your breath away. At 36 knots her bow wave must have been 30 feet [9 m] high. Yet she seemed to glide across the water.

"God She plows through those waves like they don't exist."

"At 100,000 tons, there's not too many seas She can't handle. I bet Admiral Cunningham is loving this high speed run. The Navy doesn't get to speed around too often. Costs way too much in oil."

"If this war with Sudan turns hot he even may get to fire his eight inch [20 cm] guns." I said.

"Brin your going to make a life long friend and a very happy Admiral if that happens. I hope it doesn't but the way my intelligence reads it, it could come sooner than we think."

"As long as I can get the kids out first, that's all I care about."

The Osprey swung around to come up behind the Good Hope. She didn't slow. But the pilots knew their business. The landing was quick and abrupt. We were hovering over the pad and then we were down. Bang. Just like that.

As soon as we landed all lights went out. Now Good Hope was a ghost ship plowing along at maximum speed into the night. We were escorted inside and up to the Bridge.

"Welcome to the Good Hope II gentlemen. I am Captain Fontaine. I am also Chief Medical Officer."

"Thank you for receiving us Captain. I am Commander Sadac of the International Security Command. This is my Deputy Benji Watson and this is General Blake of the Fourth Marine Assault Brigade and lastly this is Brigadier General Mike Rarog of my ground forces in Burundi."

"Now what is so important that would make you fly out here in the middle of the night?"

"Sir. As soon as your ship is near Burundi, we are going to start transporting some 3000 boys and girls to your ship. They are all former sex slaves. They range in age from 13 to 16. All have been sexually abused in some way. All have been beaten on occasion. Some are in really bad shape, while the majority are in reasonable shape considering where they were required to work. As to STD's I just don't know. My Senior Medical Officer of the MUST could probably give you a better idea on that line. These kids are going to have to be handled very carefully. We had four suicides last night. I don't want anymore. Lastly I guess I should tell you I love each and everyone. To me they are part of my family."

The Captain picked up a phone.

"Chief Engineer, what's our Engine speed status?

"Were running at 95% Sir."

"What would 115% give us in speed?

"Another 9 knots Sir, but I don't recommend it."

"Increase to 115% Sir. Let me worry about what it will do."

"Communications. Inform Admiral Cunningham we are increasing speed to 45 knots."

A slight shudder went through the ship as the speed increased.

"We could do 50 knots, but the cruisers would never keep up. Some of the Fletchers maybe, but not those 25 year old gun cruisers."

"There's no point in you flying back tonight Commander. Lets go down to my day cabin and we can relax. At least for a little while."

Captain Fontanne led us down to his day cabin. When we entered it looked like a luxury suite in a hotel in New York. Plush seats, a bar, lounge chairs and a galley.

"Anything you would like. A drink, food just ask, my steward would be happy to serve you."

"Well knowing NAS ships are dry, a coke would be good Captain."

"This is not an NAS ship. We are independent of the Navy."

"A scotch then."

After we had all been served what we wanted the Captain came quickly to the point.

"Commander Sadac. You said they were all part of your family and that you love them all. So where do they go from here?"

"I don't know. Yet."

"What percentage of these boys and girls are gay or bi?"

"I would have to say that I think probably 99% of the boys are either gay or bi and maybe half of the girls. I just have never dealt with girls before to know. You may or may not know that I am gay, as is my deputy. My Company doesn't discriminate. For any reason. Benji is also my lover and soon to be my married partner. In fact the ceremony was going to be today."

"Okay we'll get back to this later. Now have you heard the latest News?"

"No Sir. We have blacked out, outside news in Burundi."

"The World Wide News network is saying NorAm is starting to exploit Africa for it's resources. It is demanding access to Burundi and New Babylon."

"I'm sorry but I can't let that happen just yet. I want to end this trade in sex slaves world wide and I need to keep what was happening in Burundi a secret for as long as possible."

"So what if they just decide to fly in."

"I'll refuse landing permission. If they defy that I'll shoot down their aircraft."

The Captain looked at me to see if I was serious. When he decided I was he just slumped down in his seat.

"Do you relies the consequences of taking down a civilian aircraft by anti-aircraft fire."

"I don't care. Besides I already have a World Wide News crew in Burundi."

"Clarence and his crew." the Captain sighed.

"Yes and he is on side with me. I hope you will let him on board when he wants."

"I hate that Son of a bitch, but if he now works for you he is welcome on board."

"I have another problem." The Captain said.

"What?"

"Fresh fruit and vegetables. Wheat flour, fresh meats and a whole variety of food stuffs. If I am going to have to feed 3000 kids I need fresh food. We get fresh frozen by resupply, but what these kids are going to need is fresh, not frozen."

"I think I have a solution to that problem. New Babylon is a Garden of Eden compared to Burundi. I think under the circumstances they would welcome a new market for there goods."

"Now I understand I am going to able to refuel in New Babylon. We could also use their port for resupply. It would make a better landing platform than at sea."

"I think that can be arranged. I honestly believe the Government of New Babylon are totally onside with what I am doing. The only problem I have with you being tied up along side is if war comes you will be a sitting target."

"I see your point, but I still think it would be best."

"Your decision Captain."

A message arrived for General Blake, stating that the Fourth Marine Brigade was being deployed to southern edge of the border between Sudan and New Babylon. The attack helicopters were being deployed to Burundi City and attached to the squadron already there. The transport crews had been issued their orders and were standing by until New Hope was in closer proximity to Burundi to begin transport of the kids.

A message from New Babylon stated that the Marines could land and move across New Babylon soil.

I made a mental note to personally thank the Sheik.

"If your up to it I'd like to give you a tour of my ship." The Captain said

"Great." I said.

"Maybe after all the girls and boys are on board you would consider holding your marriage ceremony here on board. As a Captain I could marry you and Benji. We have an auditorium big enough so all the kids could be present."

"I think that would be a fine idea."

For the next two hours the Captain showed us over his great ship. She was equipped with the latest Equipment. No less than 8 huge operating rooms, 5,000 bed spaces, two huge auditoriums, bakery, mess halls, swimming pools, theaters, litterly anything that would be needed for any situation. With three helio-pads she could handle any number of casualties. Her Generators could supply electricity to light a small city.

When we arrived back at his day cabin it was already getting light out. Benji wanted to go on deck to watch the sunrise. The Captain took us all back to the bridge and out onto a catwalk.

"Best view in the house." He laughed.

Looking out to sea we could see the cruiser Nantucket plowing 600 yards away. Behind was the San Francisco and a head the St Louis. All creaming the sea as they sliced through them at 45 knots. As the sun came closer to rising you could make out the picket destroyers ranging far out from the fleet. Abruptly the Nantucket turned inward toward us.

"Admiral Cunningham coming to say good morning."

At 100,000 tons the Good Hope towered over the 35,000 ton cruiser. Yet it glided into position not 50 yards off the bridge.

Up close the Nantucket was a beautiful warship. It's two eight inch [20 cm] guns fore and aft, along with it's missile batteries, antennae , radar and gun directors.

Using a loud hailer.

"Good Morning Captain. Another beautiful day."

"Good Morning Admiral. Still keeping that bucket of bolts working I see."

"I could up with you no matter what speed you set you old sea dog."

"What's your fuel status Admiral?"

"All ships are down to 30%, we can keep this speed for another 3 hours then we have to refuel."

"Tell him an oilier from the Fourth Marine Assault Group will meet him in 2 hours off Burundi." General Blake said.

Before the message could be passed, the Nantucket sheared away to starboard. And if anything increased speed. Her missile batteries suddenly swung up ward and missiles appeared on them. The Captain turned and ran into the Bridge. We all followed. He was leaning over the radar repeater.

"Increase to fifty knots and zig zag." he ordered the helmsman.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Twenty plus high altitude aircraft are inbound from the north."

"Sudanese?"

"Not sure yet, but Admiral Cunningham has gone to Red Alert status."

DAMN, damn, damn. I needed more time. I wanted those kids out before this seemingly stupid war started.

"Can you connect me with my Command in Burundi Captain."

He handed me a phone.

"Communications Sir."

"Connect me with General Israel."

"General Israel Sir."

"What's happening Ari?"

"The Sudanese are moving on all fronts. The Fourth are on the ground but need time to get into position. Were taking fire from long range artillery but their fire is very inaccurate. All apache attack squadrons are ready for lift off. So far no units have crossed the border."

"Anything else."

"I've moved the Loyal Eddies into the center. From Burundi City. That appears to be where the first attack will come. Colonel Mayes has told me in their 130 year history they have never retreated and won't now. They will stand on the line and no one will pass."

"Sir Benji's Brigade will not fail you. Today we march into hell. God help the other side."

Unknown to me, but my conversations with Ari had been piped through the fleet. To all commands including the Escort group for the Good Hope. Now all ships and men knew that I would never back down, or would any man in my company.

"Captain I suggest you get ready for some real casualties."

"I didn't want war. But by God if that's what they want, then I will show them how real men fight."

I put my arm around Benji and we walked out onto the bridge wing. The sun was fully up and the ships surrounding the Good Hope looked beautiful and menacing. All were zig zagging to throw off missiles inbound.

"I'm scared Brin. Benji said.

"I'm scared too love."

WE were both startled when the Nantucket launched it's first missiles. We watched as it and the other Cruisers fired off over 300 missiles. It had begun. Sudan had started a war against NorAm. To fire on a NorAm ship in international waters was bad enough, but to attack a hospital ship was even worse. WE could only wait and hope. The Good Hope was a huge ship, almost as big as an aircraft carrier. A massive target for radar guided missiles.

"Commander you need to get inside and under cover."

"No Captain if I'm fated to die, then I will die here with my love beside me."

I guess on this day at least God was on my side. Only two missiles got through. One hit a destroyer, litterly blowing it out of the water. The other hit the Cruiser San Francisco, blowing a huge whole in the side of the ship. And the first casualties 20 men dead and 60 wounded. The attackers lost all their aircraft.

To me this was the stupidest thing Sudan could do. You don't take on the worlds only super power. What was in the minds of these madmen?

We turned and walked back into the bridge.

The ship was back to 45 knots and aimed directly at the coast, just a slim line on the horizon.

"Commander Brin, I want your Osprey off my ship. I need all pads for incoming casualties and your kids. It has been a pleasure Sir, I just wish now it was in better circumstances."

We headed down to the pad and climbed aboard General Blake's Osprey and lifted off. As we circled we flew by the San Francisco. She was still steaming in the wake of the Good Hope. The flames being aided by her high speed. A blinker light was signally as we flew by.

"What was he sending?" I asked.

"Her status report to the Admiral. She lost her tomahawk missiles and her helicopters. She has a small leak below water line but the pumps are holding. She still has full engine power and all missile and gun batteries are operational."

"She also said she would stand on the line with her sisters."

"I'm not sure Sir what that means."

I knew what it meant.

General Blake knew too. Just from the look in his eyes.

"How old are you son." I asked.

"Twenty Sir."

"Those four Cruisers out there were built before you were born. Except for the Nimitz they are the oldest ships in the navy. There are the only four all gun missile cruisers in service. The San Francisco just told the admiral she would join them in battle come hell of high water. Such devotion to a cause is what hero's are made of son."

He didn't answer but turned to his communication equipment.

"Eyes only General for you Sir."

The General quickly scanned the message.

"Commander Sadac, Brin, Sudan has pushed four Armored Divisions into Chad. Intelligence believes their attack here is a faint to pull forces to this area while they take Chad.. The African Defense Brigade is screaming foe assistance. I know you armored Division is still loading in Germany."

"I have nothing to send to Chad."

Even if I did how could I get it there."

"Time to force Sudan on the defensive."

He turned to the keyboard and rapidly typed in a message.

"Were coming up on Burundi General, where do you want to land."

"Put us down at the airport, you can then start transporting the kids out to the New Hope."

Landing space at the airport was now a premium.

"Tom, Benji and myself headed for my command center. Mike said he was on his way to join the Brigade.

"Take care Mike, I don't want to face your wife and kids if your killed. That's an order."

"I definitely try to accommodate you Sir."

When we arrived at the command center I turned one of the consoles over to General Blake. I sat down at another. I brought my view screen of the battle area. All our units were shown in blue, with enemy marked in red. So far there were no red units close to the border.

"Colonel White. Have the Predators' been launched yet?"

"We have two up covering the center and southern Lines. The third will be up shortly."

"You have Predators'? Tom asked.

"Older Models, no weapons, but excellent surveillance platforms."

"Okay good, I'll hold off on launching ours. Can you feed us the Intel?"

I ordered the Predator, units to send real time to the marines."

I noticed that the General also hocked up Admiral Cunningham to the Intel, giving him a real time picture of the battlefield. I could only sit and watch having no experience in combat operations.

"What's happening Brin. Benji asked.

"Not much that I can tell. Maybe you should ask the General. He's a combat Marine Commander. He could probably answer your questions."

Benji walker over to the General's Consol.

"Can you tell me what's going on Sir."

"Well not much right now."

"But I want to learn all this stuff. Brin wants me to his Deputy, but I'm only a kid. I really want to know."

"Okay Benji, here's the picture so far. You see here on this screen. These are all the forces of Intersec in blue. Now over here across the border these are the enemy forces marked in red. They seem to be holding in place right now. If you look here this is the fourth Marine Brigade moving up. You see, there painted in yellow. As soon as there in position that should change to Blue."

I was watching my screen and listening to the General. But I could see the Marines had already crossed the border and were beginning to drive west into Sudan.

"General!"

"Damn! General Israel is not waiting. He's holding the Sudanese in place with the Third, while my Marines do an end run around behind them. God I wish I had had him Iran. Very smart move."

The General switched over to the command radios.

There was almost dead silence.

"Linebacker point Able."

A faint yellow line appeared on the screen over the marine position. They were now almost 15 km [10 km] inside Sudan.

"Linebacker execute Saint Mary in 30 out.

"White Knight this is Black Knight One, fire mission."

"White Knight go."

"3174-1126 advance 50, to 3174-1226."

"What's that mean General?" Benji asked.

"That was a fire mission request. For artillery. The first numbers are where they start and the second where they end, advancing there fire in 50 meter increments. Like a creeping barrage."

"White Knight commence."

There was no mistaking the noise that came next, as eight, eight inch [20 cm] naval guns opened up off the coast. The Admiral got his wish.
