As Kelly stumbled into the restaurant, Ed examined her hardly 
believing what his eyes were telling him. Her hair was wild and 
she acted like she was drunk. Looking at her, it appeared that she 
in a state of shock and unaware of her surroundings. She even 
walked past the table where he was sitting before standing next to a 
chair at the counter. Martha immediately greeted her, "Hello 
Kelly."

It took Kelly a moment to remember that she had been at her 
wedding and several more moments to remember her name. She 
smiled at the elderly woman and answered, "Martha, it is so nice to 
see you again."

Martha said, "John has been in here every day for the past two 
days wondering if you had come. He'll be around in a few minutes. 
He's off visiting his friends in the area."

"Thank you," replied Kelly. She realized that she was hungry. She 
sat down in the chair and asked, "Could I have a hamburger, fries, 
and a shake?"

Martha smiled at Kelly observing her general confusion and 
answered, "No, you have to go to a café for that."

"Oh, okay." She sat there confused wondering why she had asked 
for food here. She looked up to see Martha laughing and then 
realized the joke. She laughed and said, "Gosh, I feel like a blond!"

"You look a little dazed. By the way, did you get a boob job?"

Looking down at her chest, her breasts looked huge. She 
remembered how Ed's cock had grown in size when he had gotten 
his medallion. She wondered what other changes had occurred. 
She said, "I guess you might say that."

John entered the restaurant and saw Kelly sitting at the counter 
while Ed sat at a table. Coming over to Ed he asked, "What's the 
matter?"

Whispering, Ed answered, "I don't know. She walked right by me."

The two men walked over to where Kelly was seated and waited 
for her to notice them. Finally, John put a hand on her shoulder. 
Startled, she turned with a surprised look on her face, seeing them 
for the first time. John and Ed took a seat on side of her. Trying to 
sound lecherous, Ed said, "I like the new look."

John said, "It looks like a D cup to me."

Kelly looked at her husbands and smiled at where they were 
looking. She teased,  "Can't wait to get your hands on them?"

"Either my hands or my lips. I'm not particular," answered John. 
He laughed at the blush that spread over her face.

When Martha brought the food, Kelly began to absently eat her 
lunch. Concerned for her, Ed watched her carefully while John 
turned to Martha and explained, "I'm afraid that she's a little out of 
it yet."

Seeing that Kelly wasn't even following the conversation, Ed 
suggested, "I think we had better take her home and let her recover 
there."

Martha looked worried and asked, "Is it drugs or something?"

Shaking his head, Ed answered, "She became a Druid today. It can 
be a very traumatic experience and has physical changes."

"Oh, it is the result of some magic ritual?"

John answered, "She met the Goddess."

When Kelly finished her meal, she sat there staring off into space. 
Helping Kelly to her feet, they guided her out of the restaurant and 
to the Jeep. As Ed held the door open, John helped her into to the 
seat. Once seated, she came out of her mental wanderings. She 
turned to John and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She cried, 
"I saw her as she has become because of us."

After a short whispered conversation between John and Kelly, 
John got in the driver's seat and drove to the Sporting Goods Shop. 
Ed waited outside as Kelly met with Cathy, the woman that owned 
the store. After five minutes, Kelly returned to the car and got in 
the back seat. Turning to talk to her, Ed saw that she had already 
fallen asleep. 

The drive back to the house was quiet as neither John nor Ed said a 
word. From the green robe clenched in her hands, Ed knew that she 
served the Goddess. Of course, that had been expected. Looking 
over her, it was strange to see such large breasts enclosed within 
her tee shirt. She had gone from a small B cup to a full D cup. The 
effect on the tee shirt was to stretch it so that every detail of her 
breasts was outlined through the material.

Both men were tired by the time they arrived at the house. Ed got 
out and opened the door expecting to carry her into the house. John 
used the open door to reach Kelly and pick her up. Once John had 
her out of the car, Ed closed it and raced across the garage to open 
the door to the house. 

Linda met them at the door and after taking one look at Kelly, said, 
"Bring her into my room. I'll watch over her until she wakes. 
Everyone else is busy and you two look tired."
John carried Kelly upstairs to Linda's room. It took Linda a 
moment to open the door and step out of the way. Grunting, John 
barely managed to get her to the bed before his strength left him. 
He set her down a little less gently than he had intended. John 
returned to the front room and waited for Linda. When she came 
out of her room she said, "She has changed."

"Yes, that often happens after dealing with the Gods and 
Goddesses. What she is doing now is a little different from 
anything that we've seen before."

Ed came up the stairs and stood outside the room. He cautioned, 
"Watch her carefully. She's liable to be very horny when she wakes 
up. If you need to, get Leroy to take care of that if you can't find 
any of us."

Linda shyly asked, "Speaking of horny, when are we going to get 
together John?"

"Soon," replied John. Seeing the look of disappointment on her 
face, he added, "For now, just enjoy yourself and relax. We have 
all the time in the world."

John left with Ed after taking one more look at Kelly. Ed was 
exhausted and wanted to reach his room, wash, and then relax in 
the pool. Of course, he had to mount his samples first. In his room, 
he carried his specimens up to his study. After examining them, he 
selected a small stone to add to his collection. It was a nice little 
stone that represent this trip in many ways. He chose an even 
smaller stone to mount for the collection at the school. Tired, he 
still took the time to label the rocks with the type of rock, the 
location they came from, and the date found. He put his sample on 
a shelf with the kind of pleasure that only a collector knows.

After an hour nap, Ed headed to the kitchen to see about getting a 
little something to eat. He was pleased to see Marguerite dancing 
around the kitchen for the first time since Beth had died. Of course, 
he had been in LA for most of that time and knew that she had 
probably danced while cooking long before now.  

After seeing Marguerite, he noticed Bob sitting at the table 
watching her with a smile. Bob looked good despite his injuries. It 
was going to be another month before he would be able to resume 
even light duties, but Ed wasn't worried about that. Knowing that 
Bob was okay was the most important thing. Ambling over to the 
table, Ed sat down and asked, "How are you feeling Bob?"

Still wearing the neck brace, Bob answered, "Much better. I'm 
really glad to be home."

Shaking his head, Ed said, "I'm really sorry. The day we left for 
LA, I knew I should have talked to him. If I had, then this whole 
mess could have been avoided."

Raising an eyebrow, Bob asked, "Are you apologizing for not 
being perfect?"

"Yes, I guess so," replied Ed with a laugh. He couldn't believe how 
Bob wouldn't blame him for his negligence.

Bob tried to shake his head, but the neck brace kept him from 
moving his head. Giving up, he said, "They took advantage of the 
situation. The family was split up because Beth had died and her 
father had been injured."

The injuries had not been good for Bob. He had lost considerable 
weight and he was still pale. He had spent most of his time in bed 
up in Marguerite's room with her taking care of him. Looking over 
at Marguerite, he asked, "Marguerite, what kind of patient was 
Bob?"

She came over to the table and slipped a plate with half a sandwich 
in front of Ed. Smiling, she said, "He's a pretty good patient, but 
he's developed a thing for women in nurses uniforms."

Bob laughed at the joke. For the past month, she had been wearing 
a sexy nurse outfit whenever she was up in her room. He said, 
"There's only one nurse that turns me on."

Ed took a bite from the sandwich and made the appropriate 
appreciative noises. Marguerite smiled at his obvious enjoyment of 
the sandwich. She said, "It might be the nurses uniform that I 
wear."

After swallowing the bite of sandwich, Ed asked, "So when are 
you getting married?"

With a frown, Bob said, "I've got one more surgery to undergo and 
that will require about two months of recuperation. We'll set a date 
for the wedding once I've recovered."

Taking a sip of iced tea, realizing he didn't remember Marguerite 
bringing it, he replied, "Sounds wise to me."

Frowning, Marguerite said, "I don't think so. I want him to marry 
me so that I can sit there like a proper wife by his side."

Knowing there was more than a little truth in what he was about to 
say, Ed joked, "And he wants to wait until he's healthy enough to 
have a proper wedding night."

Smiling at Ed, Bob said, "Exactly."

Knowing that he had stumbled into an area of contention, Ed 
reached into his pocket and pulled out the sample box with his 
diamonds in it. Moving the stones around with his little finger, he 
selected one of the middle-sized stones and removed it. Placing it 
on the table, he said, "I visited a diamond mine over the past few 
days. This is one of the diamonds that I found."

Bob turned and bent over to look at it. With an appreciative look, 
he said, "That's a good sized diamond."

Marguerite said, "That's amazing."

Looking over at Marguerite, Ed said, "I figure once Bob finds 
someone to cut the stone, you'll get three nice diamonds out of it. If 
he makes a nice setting for them, I would say that you would have 
a very nice wedding ring."

Bob's mouth fell open at the statement. Marguerite looked at Ed 
with tear filled eyes. Every time she thought he had given them the 
ultimate gift, he surprised her by going one better. Excited, she 
hugged him around the neck and cooed, "You sweet man."

Bob stared at the stone, his imagination working overtime trying to 
visualize a proper setting for the stones. In an awed voice, he 
realized that with those stones and a platinum setting he would 
have a wedding ring worth about thirty thousand dollars. Looking 
over at Ed he said, "That's an amazing gift."

Shaking his head, Ed knew better. He had found the stone and it 
cost him nothing. The value of the stone didn't matter; it was the 
happiness that it brought to the people it touched. He had been 
happy to find it, the Sheriff had been happy digging it out, Bob 
would be happy making the ring, and Marguerite would be happy 
wearing the result. He said, "It's a happy stone and I'm glad to see 
that it has made you happy as well."

Marguerite went to sit next to Bob. The two of them looked over 
the stone. Even though a raw diamond is nothing special to look at, 
the couple was ecstatic over the present. As they talked, Ed 
finished his sandwich enjoying the tenderness the two showed each 
other. 

Sarah and Leroy came into the kitchen. Seeing Ed at the table, they 
joined him. Looking at the stone on the table, Sarah asked, "Do 
you want me to throw that away for you?"

Marguerite nearly took her head off as she responded, "Over my 
dead body. That's a diamond that Ed just gave us for a wedding 
ring."

Leroy looked over at Ed with wonder. He still had not made up his 
mind how he felt about the cowboy. Most of the time, Ed made 
him nervous with his steel gray eyes and intense look that seemed 
to peer into the soul. Finally, he said, "That's a very nice present."

Sarah smiled at Ed and said, "You're always doing nice kinds of 
things for us. Haven't you realized that we're hired help?"

Looking at Sarah, Ed realized that he hadn't done anything for her 
or Cathy in a long time. Shrugging, he answered, "You're part of 
the household."

Shaking his head, Leroy said, "Bob, I'm ready to clean out the 
atrium. Care to oversee?"

Bob picked up the stone and said, "I'll be over there in a minute."

Bob left the kitchen, going to his room to put the stone in a safe 
place. Ed watched him leave with a smile. Turning to Leroy, he 
asked, "You've been working around the house?"

Leroy shrugged and said, "You're a little understaffed around here. 
From what I understand, you lost your security person and Bob has 
been injured. I'm doing what little I can."

"I think that we have to remedy that situation. I'll talk to John and 
see when we can go interview people," said Ed. Looking over at 
Marguerite, Ed asked, "Would you like an assistant cook?"

Smiling, Marguerite answered, "I already have one. His name is 
Bob."

Ed laughed and left the kitchen. Stopping by the office, he told 
Cathy to arrange for Marguerite to compete in the cooking 
competition again this year. He hoped that he would be able to 
attend the competition this time. 

Satisfied with how his day was going, he went to the informal 
living room where he found John watching television. Sitting down 
next to John, he said, "We need to hire more staff."

Frowning, John answered, "I know. You want to go to the agency 
tomorrow?"

"I guess so," replied Ed. He didn't really like hiring new people. 
They could easily change the whole dynamics of the house. Right 
now, the staff consisted of Bob, Marguerite, Cathy, and Sarah. 
They definitely needed two more men to balance the gender among 
the staff. 

A very upset Kelly came into the room followed by Ling and 
Leroy. Her eyes were red from crying. Looking at John, she 
blurted, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do it."

Concerned, John asked, "Do what?"

Kelly sat down on the couch and cried, "I raped her. She was 
sound asleep and I raped her."

"Whoa, hold on there for a minute and explain what happened," 
said Ed. He could tell that she was telling the truth as she knew it. 

Kelly sobbed, "I woke up in bed, horny out of my mind. She was 
asleep next to me and I proceeded to eat her. She never had a 
chance to say no."

John was very upset, as this was a major wrong and one that he 
said he would prosecute if it ever happened in the household. He 
was about to say something when Ed interrupted, "We warned her 
that would happen. I even told her to get Leroy in case you woke 
up in dire need and she couldn't find us."

John calmed down a little and asked, "So how did she take it?"

"Oh, she was very understanding. She even said that she enjoyed 
it, but I think she was just being nice to me," said Kelly.

Ed thought about it for a minute. Linda was a very strong willed 
woman. If she had been upset, she would have made it very clear 
to everyone. He said, "I'd take her at her word."

Nodding, John had to agree. He would talk to Linda after a while 
and hear her side of the story. They heard a noise in the poolroom 
and the entire group went to see what was going on inside. Linda 
had just entered the water, wearing a one-piece bathing suit that 
covered her entire body.

Ed said, "I think it is time to give Linda a chance to see us in all 
our ugly glory."

John looked over at Ed and wondered what he had in mind. Ling 
smiled and grabbed Kelly by the hand. As they entered the 
poolroom, Ling commented on the new bust size of Kelly. At the 
pool edge, the two women stripped and jumped into the pool. They 
immediately started talking to Linda, not really giving her a chance 
to leave. 

The three men waited for a few minutes and then entered the 
poolroom. When they walked into the poolroom, Linda looked at 
them with wide eyes knowing they were going to strip. John 
looked over at Kelly and said, "Well, Kelly. You're looking a lot 
more alert than earlier." 

With a wink at Leroy, Ed started undressing. John followed his 
lead until it was just Leroy standing there. Ed whispered, "Time to 
get undressed."

Uncomfortable, Leroy answered, "She isn't comfortable around 
naked men."

"I know, but it is time for her to grow a little," replied Ed. In a 
way, the timing was good. If, as he suspected was the case, Linda 
had enjoyed the experience with Kelly, she would be more 
receptive to them being naked. Leroy started to undress.

When all three were naked, they jumped into the pool. For a 
moment, it looked like Linda was ready to flee, but she looked 
away rather than stare at the private parts of the men. She noticed 
Kelly and Ling sneaking up on Ed and watched as they moved so 
that he was between them. When Kelly went to splash Ed, he 
turned so that she would only get his back. Linda laughed as Ling 
splashed Ed full in the face.

An all out water war was waged for the next ten minutes. By the 
end, Linda had forgotten that the men were naked. As they left the 
pool to enjoy a little conversation, Linda took the opportunity to 
examine the cocks of the three men. She was amazed at how large 
John and Ed were compared to Leroy. 

The next morning, the family sat on one side of the table waiting 
for candidates for the positions to arrive. They were used to having 
to wait for hours before having a chance to interview anyone that 
passed the staff's approval and used the time to talk about their 
plans for the near future.

The man stepped into the room, back straight in perfect posture. A 
little less than six foot tall, the man had short-cropped gray hair 
with male pattern baldness. Physically, he appeared to be in 
excellent shape. Turning he strode over to the chair and sat down 
at a gesture from John. A long moment of silence settled over the 
room, a silence that didn't appear to bother the man at all. John 
asked, "Do you know who we are?"

"No, sir," said the man with a direct clipped voice as he handed 
over his resume.

Looking over the resume, Ed read that the man was fifty years of 
age and had just retired from the army after thirty years of service. 
He had been a sergeant in the Military Police and was seeking a 
security position. Examining the man, he wondered if he would be 
that stiff and formal around the house. Ed said, "Would you mind 
relaxing? We are looking for a security person who will live in our 
house. I want to make sure that you will fit into the household."

The man relaxed a little and replied, "Yes, sir."

Shifting nervously, Leroy asked, "The household is multiracial. Do 
you have any problem with that?"

"No, I was in the army for thirty years. At one time or another my 
life depended on people of every color and religion. You can't 
afford to be a bigot and I'm too old to change that point of view," 
replied the man. 

There was truth in his words and Ed liked what he heard so far. He 
said, "Did the rest of the staff explain the kind of lifestyle that we 
lead?"

The man nodded crisply and said, "Yes, they told me that you have 
a group marriage, that the staff tends to sleep around with each 
other and you, and that most everyone tends not to wear clothes 
around the house. I'm not sure that I believed them, but it is your 
life."

John leaned forward and said, "We live our life according to two 
rules. If it harm none, then do it. Protect the weak from the strong. 
Do have any problem with that?"

"No, sir," said the man.

Ed caught the man's eye and held it for a full minute. The man 
didn't blink or seem put off by the scrutiny. Ed asked, "Is there any 
condition in which you could see yourself harming us?"

The man was silent for a moment and then said, "If you break the 
law, I'll make sure that you pay for it. I won't cover up a crime no 
matter how rich you are. I fought for this country and I won't 
dishonor that service for anyone."

Ed sat back in his chair and looked at the man for a full minute. He 
looked over at John and then Leroy. John was smiling and reached 
into his pocket. Ed did the same. At the same time, they pulled out 
their badges and laid them on the table. Leroy had never seen the 
badges and looked at them with incredibility. The sergeant merely 
raised an eyebrow and then said, "Okay, that answers that 
question."

Ling asked, "How are your martial arts skills?"

Stiff, the man replied, "I've never studied them formally. However, 
I have trained men to kill with their bare hands as a drill sergeant."

Ling shrugged and said, "Fair enough."

Kelly asked, "Are you married?"

"Widowed," replied the man with the first real emotion that he had 
showed in the entire interview. 

Everyone looked to Linda to see what question she would ask. She 
looked back and said, "I can't think of anything to ask."

John looked over to Ed who nodded back. He then looked at Leroy 
who shrugged his shoulders and nodded. Kelly, Ling, and Linda 
were nodding. Turning to the man, John said, "Welcome to the 
staff, George Mason."

"You mean I'm hired?"

Ed said, "Yes. If you go out to the rest of the staff, we'll continue 
the interview process for an assistant handyman."

"What do you mean?" asked George puzzled by the notion that he 
would participate in the interviews. 

John answered, "Now that you are a member of the staff, you have 
a voice in who works with you."

Ed said, "Go on out there and talk a bit with the rest of the staff. 
Take a half an hour or so to get to know them a little better and 
then resume interviewing people."

"Yes, sir."

Ed said, "Drop the sir and ma'am. I'm Ed, that's John, Leroy, Kelly, 
Ling, and Linda."

As the man left the room, he turned back and looked at them 
puzzled. This was not the kind of interview he had expected. When 
the door closed behind him, John and Ed started laughing. Linda, 
looking puzzled, asked, "What's so funny?"

"It's going to be fun watching him fit into the family," answered 
John.

It was almost two hours later that another man was shown into the 
room. The man immediately set his resume on the table. Ed looked 
at the man and then glanced down at the resume. The guy was in 
his mid-twenties, short hair, and stood ramrod straight. He looked 
like another military type. Ed asked, "It says in your resume that 
you were dishonorably discharged. Would you explain why?"

The man frowned as if he had been asked the question one time too 
many. He answered, "I'm bisexual and was caught having sex with 
a man."

Ed asked, "Any more to it than that?"

The man scoffed and said, "There's no need for more than that."

There was a truth to that answer that Ed couldn't deny. His truth 
sense wasn't even needed for that answer. Kelly asked, "So what 
have you been doing since then?"

"Working at what ever job I can get," replied the man.

The entire group sat there silently. Linda squirmed uncomfortably 
while Leroy looked everywhere except at the man. John asked, 
"Did you get any sense of our lifestyle from the staff?"

"Yes, I suppose I did," replied the young man. He frowned and 
said, "I figure they were having a little fun at my expense. It 
sounds too good to be true."

Ed asked, "Can you think of any circumstances in which you 
would violate our trust in you?"

"What do you mean?" asked the guy.

"I mean, will you sell us out to a tabloid, let someone that means 
us ill into the house, or perform any other action that might harm 
us," clarified John.

"I'll die for you if I'm hired," answered the young man.

John looked around at the others in the family. Everyone nodded 
his or her agreement. John said, "Welcome to the staff, Walt 
Brown."

Floored by the suddenness of the announcement, Walt sat back in 
his chair and said, "Really?"

Ed nodded and answered, "Really."

Ling said, "Why don't you join the rest of the staff in the room next 
door?"

Walt stood up and went to the door. He paused and looked at them 
for a moment as though trying to etch their faces in his memory for 
all time. When the door closed behind him, Linda asked, "Why 
him?"

"I think it is significant that a former sergeant passed him through 
the first interview. It suggests to me that there is a little respect 
there, despite the dishonorable discharge," answered John. 

Ed said, "Let's go home and get them settled into their new 
quarters."

At the house, Ed led George and Walt to their rooms. George 
entered his room and looked around with a surprised look on his 
face. He asked, "Which room is mine?"

Ed laughed and answered, "The whole thing is yours. You'll have a 
twenty thousand dollar budget to decorate it."

"You're kidding aren't you?" asked George. 

As Ed shook his head, Walt asked, "Are we sharing this room?"

"No, your room is exactly the same as this one," replied Ed. 

This was far beyond anything that George had considered when he 
retired. He had expected to live out the rest of his life in a small 
apartment and working as a security guard in a mall. Instead, he 
had a huge salary, a large apartment, and a wonderful sounding 
job. There had to be a catch somewhere. George said, "I don't 
know what to say."

Ed said, "Well, you can go to your home and get your stuff. I guess 
you'll be starting tomorrow?"

"Sure. I'll be back by dark with all of my stuff."

Walt stood off to the side and waited for Ed to finish with George. 
Ed said, "Good, when you get back I'm sure that Cathy will be 
happy to show you around the house. Tomorrow morning Ling 
will show you the security center. Take your time getting used to 
the place."

Ed turned and left the room followed by a very confused Walt. Ed 
showed Walt his room and said, "This is it. Just like the other 
room."

Walt said, "I'll settle for something less."

Laughing, Ed said, "The smaller rooms are for guests. They don't 
have a kitchen or a study."

"Oh, you guys really take care of the people that work for you," 
said Walt as he looked around his new room.

"Why do you say that?"

"The other members of the staff talk of you with a tone that 
borders on reverence. Then I come in here and see the quarters that 
you're giving me. It is just a little overwhelming." 

Looking around, Ed said, "Well, this is your room. You deserve a 
place that is yours if you live here."

Shaking his head, Walt couldn't believe his luck. For the past year, 
he had been looking for a job, held back by a tarnished military 
record. His current residence was a small hotel room that he rented 
by the week and all of his possessions fit in his duffel bag. He 
didn't even have a car. Walt said, "This is more than I ever 
expected."

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," replied Ed with a laugh.
