Life and Its Little Oddities

By: TheSearch4



Chapter 8

* *

*The day was a cold crisp one and John liked them. He had headed down to
check the housing for the children and saw that no decorations had been
placed there. He went into overdrive and had a tree and each room decorated
quickly. There was every security person awake working to be sure the
children would enjoy their new home. *

* *

*In the lounge the Christmas tree was fifteen feet tall and was a live tree.
It had to be lowered down the elevator shaft with the car down an additional
level. This took twenty men to make it happen. But now it was up, lighted,
decorated and looking like Christmas was here. This John was sure would help
the children transition. *

* *

*Once everything was cleaned up he was told the bus was entering the gates.
So Carlton, David and he headed up to the entry point for their living area.
The bus pulled up to their position and the girls got off. *

* *

*A group of security people unloaded the baggage area of the bus and it was
quickly sent down to the living area. This surprised the girls. "It took us
an hour to pack that so we got everything here."*

* *

*"Do you have things on the bus that need unloaded and moved?" Carlton was
being his efficient self.*

* *

*"Yes sir we have about the back twenty percent of the bus loaded with
things." Krystal was pleased to not have to do anything. *

* *

*That was now quickly unloaded and moved down to the rest of their goods.
All the children were brought off the bus one at a time and each handed a
new very warm coat before leaving. Being treated like this was new to them
and they felt loved.*

* *

*They were placed into groups and John took the younger children and Sandy
with him. They got on the elevator and went to the lounge room. Upon getting
off the kids were in awe of the room, tree and decorations. *

* *

*"John this is so beautiful and I just don't know what to say." Tears were
running down Sandy's face. *

* *

*As each group came down they all were awed at the room and its beauty. Dana
and Kelly were introduced to Sandy and Krystal and then to the children.
Rooms were assigned to the children and they were shown to them. You could
hear screams of joy from all over the living area. *

* *

*The adults sat at a table in the dinning area and allowed Sandy and Krystal
to get their composure back. Dan was enjoying the impact John was having on
the children and these two sweet girls. She had immediately like both of
them. *

* *

*"Now it is time for you to see just how this place is layout and how it has
been set up to work. Understand your no longer going to have more work than
you can do. Meals will be prepared and served to all of you. Classes are by
computer and there will be an instructor there during class time.
Housekeeping here does general cleaning. Both of you will have some free
time each week to enjoy yourselves." John hoped this did not sound too
pushy?*

* *

*Krystal looked at John closely. "Free time what is that? I love to read and
have not opened a book to do that in a year now. To take a walk without a
dozen children around me has not happened in that time either."*

* *

*"You will have almost any book to read on computer that you could want.
Besides both security and me will know where every child is 24/7 here. They
are being fitted with a waterproof tracker that acts like a watch. So you
can sit in the office and see where each child is at anytime."*

* *

*"You mean like a camera picks them up?"*

* *

*"No not that intrusive at all. It just places a dot on the map of this
complex with their name beside it. But we can locate them anyplace within
our land area. My company owns four valleys here and that is a lot of land.
We raise our own meat animals, produce our own vegetables, grains and
fruits. So we are very self sufficient." John hoped this eased their minds.*

* *

*"What happens if a child takes that locator off?"*

* *

*"It can't be taken off Krystal and that is for their safety. Of course if
they wish they could have an RFID seed planted under the skin as we all
have. That provides the same information to the sensors for locating
people." David was now very professional. *

* *

*"Why do you want to know where everyone is?"*

* *

*"That is simple as we protect our people. Things are getting very bad out
there and some people are getting desperate. As the economy gets worse
people will start doing whatever they have to so they can eat. If that means
steal it fine or kill for it, they will do that as well. The world is
becoming a very dangerous place. We caught six boys who tried to break in
here and steal what they could. If they had found a girl they would have
raped her no questions asked. If some young girl was where those boys had
been we would have been checking on them fast." Carlton was now talking to
assure them.*

* *

*This seemed very reasonable to both girls. "I think the best way to do that
is use implants on all of us. The world is dangerous and both of us know
that well." Sandy was now shaking.*

* *

*Dana reached over and held the girl. When Sandy calmed down she looked at
Dana and smiled. "I have been where you and Krystal have. In my mind I was
sure I could never love a man or be held close by one. Then I met John and
both Kelly and I fell in love with him. Yesterday we were married and Kelly
adopted officially by him. I found my life did not end when Kelly was
conceived, it just started then."*

* *

*Both girls were shocked at Dana's honest admission. "How can you handle
that so easily now?" Krystal just had to know.*

* *

*"Before it was not easy dear. I was a mess and angry with everyone
including my daughter. Then I started to learn how to focus my mind and
slowly started to work my way out of the mess. We humans tend to make things
far worse than they are. When we start to take control of life it does get
better. You two have done that by putting yourself into these children. Then
you have left the place where bad things happened. So here you have a new
start and can make of it what you will."*

* *

*The girls were shown the entire complex for the orphanage and school. Then
they walked through the town and were shown the pool to be opened on
Christmas day and the club for dances. *

* *

*"We do have a few gifts for the children, but not nearly enough. How do we
find and buy what we need here?" Sandy was the organized one here.*

* *

*"First of all you, Krystal and I will sit down with your list and handle
it. But I am not sure if you saw it, but many are walking around right now
with their new stuffed toy. We placed one on each bed before they got here
to show them someone cares." John was smiling at both girls.*

* *

*"I saw them but had not paid attention I guess. But that was a nice thing
to do and I know they enjoyed it. We would have waited for Christmas to give
those to them."*

* *

*"Oh but I own the toy store. So I can do things others can't. That I guess
makes me Santa here?"*

* *

*This statement brought laughter from the group. "It almost sounds like your
Santa and the Easter Bunny rolled into one." Krystal was still laughing.*

* *

*"The children's happiness and well being is important to me. Hopefully they
can repair the damage done to this country and build it back stronger when
they get control. So the future of the country depends on them and their
abilities. They are the future for all of us." John was very serious now.*

* *

*The rest of the trip, including riding the bus to the other valleys was of
great interest to the girls. Now they had a picture of what had been built
here. It was impressive and far more advanced than they had even considered.
The original idea for them was a hippie commune and not a well run company
like this was. *

* *

*They did get their children assigned to rooms and slowly moved clothing
into them as it was found. The first meal of lunch had been enjoyed by the
kids and girls, as they had no cooking or clean up to do. It took the rest
of the day to get the kids settled into their rooms and start a list of
rules to live by here. Krystal had noted several doors that were locked now.
But with a girls hall and a boys as well it did divide the kids enough to
many problems down. *

* *

*The next day they were in John's office and Kelly was sitting with them. Or
at least she was on John's lap. Krystal just had to ask. "What are all the
locked doors for John?"*

* *

*"Just more rooms for children. We have the ability to take several hundred
children if we need to. As the social structure falls apart there are many
children who cannot be cared for. Parents trying to start over new
someplace, will not be able to take young ones with them and care for them.
Many of those people will come by here on their way to a safer place. Some
people in a few towns around know we can take children and they would be
safe. But we only take them from toddler to around 10 or 11. That is why we
built what we did."*

* *

*"You have really looked far down the road. But will things get that bad?"*

* *

*Kelly now was ready to support John. "He is very good at estimating what
the next quarters numbers will be. I see them before the quarter and after
it is over he may have missed by a percent or two. That is far better than
the government can do they lie to themselves."*

* *

*Sandy now was really confused. "How is it your vocabulary is so advanced
and you seem to know so much?"*

* *

*Kelly just beamed as John started in. "She may be seven in body, but she is
a young woman in mind. Right now she is close to a seventh grade education
level. The nice part is she does very well socially and loves working with
the other kids."*

* *

*Krystal just shook her head. "God I am glad I did not have that happen to
me as a child. I don't think I could have handled it."*

* *

*"It was important that daddy be the one to tell you about me. By the time I
am 10 or 11 I should be close to finishing high school. But I still have a
lot of things that are child like and I enjoy. Daddy does not want me to
push myself to far to fast. So I am his little girl and love the feelings I
get from that."*

* *

*Both girls smiled at this and saw how in love she was with John. *

* *

*"Ladies here is my list for each of your children and what I think they
need and hopefully will want." John gave them a list and let them go over
it. *

* *

*Sandy the money manager was white faced. "This would cost way to much to
handle John. There is no way we could spend over two hundred dollar on each
child."*

* *

*"Now lets get a couple things straight here for you. One you work for my
company now. I admit your salary is not a lot, but you do get housing and
food that your not charged for. So here are your bankbooks to track your
money. It will show in your account on the computer." Both girls mouths hung
wide open at this comment.*

* *

*"Second all costs for the children's needs are a company expense item. So
all you need to do is just check your on hand items against the list I gave
you. The children will be having gym at the pool at least twice a week. So
bathing suits are a needed item. Each child has a computer in their rooms,
so they can play games and use it to study. But the games they have access
to will be determined by grades in school and age. Gifts of games are
rewards for them. We have one server that is nothing but a game center. You
can see all the games, but can only play the ones your authorized to. No
game will load until the home work is done for that child."*

* *

*Now the girls were just blown away. "What do we do here?" Sandy was not
sure she had a real job.*

* *

*"You two manage the center, provided the love they need and most important
encourage and guide them. The responsibility you had was far to great to do
the job you needed to. At the age you have them they need lots of love and
hugs. So enjoy them, have fun with them and make life enjoyable for them and
you."*

* *

*Both girls came around the desk and hugged John. Krystal was just shaking
her head. "Damn I am sorry Dana found you first."*

* *

*"Well ladies I have Dana and Kelly here would never let me slip away. But
you will find some nice unmarried men around here. We all have the same
belief that the US is falling apart. I have enough highly skilled military
people to keep things pretty safe here."*

* *

*"You have military people here?" Krystal did not believe what she heard.*

* *

*"You met Carlton when we came down and David you met when you got here. Now
they are both military and very good at what they do. Each was Special
Forces and commanded a team. David did so for the Navy and Carlton for the
Army. All our military is Special Forces and they are charged with safety
for us all. There are just at under two hundred of them here."*

* *

*"How do they manage to train as I saw nothing like that happening?"*

* *

*"First of all, most work normal jobs here. We have food to grow, energy to
produce, water to purify and sewage to treat. There are processing stations
for meat and freeze drying rooms to handle what cannot be eaten now. Those
all take labor to keep them running. We have bankers, library personnel,
engineers, teachers and just about every job you can think of working here.
So the security force trains mostly on weekends. It is just a once a month
training system, but that should work OK. These people are already pros.  Now
every boy and girl must spend two years in the security force after they
graduate. Looking forward we will need more trained people down the road."*

* *

*It made sense to the girls, but they were not sure they could do it? "Where
do we train?" Sandy asked John.*

* *

*"You don't Sandy that is future plans for our children, after they have
grown some. But the ones here from the old mining community are starting to
train now. They have seals and green beanies teaching them. It so far is
very successful and the young people like it."*

* *

*"But your teaching aggression and killing." Sandy just was not seeing where
it was going.*

* *

*"Look if you wish to let someone take your life I can't stop you Sandy. But
I damn well am going to protect the children you brought here. Now if that
means I have to kill some bastard so be it. It does not mean I like killing,
as I don't. But I am willing to do what is required to protect those kids."*

* *

*Krystal really liked this man. "Count me in with you John. But I would like
to know more about defending myself."*

* *

*"See Dana as she has black belts in a few forms of martial arts. She taught
hand to hand combat to the North Carolina State Police. There is not one of
the Special Forces people who can beat her. Now there is one class a week at
the gym in the high school. It is a mixed class and no age groups. Then the
special forces people have two more classes a week there for older children
and adults."*

* *

*"I think Dana's is the right one for me to start with. It is time for me
not to be a victim any more. Besides I would like to help protect the
children if needed." It was a big step for Krystal.*

* *

*Sandy decided it was time for her as well. "Count me in also. I will just
have to see if I can cut it."*

* *

*Kelly had followed all of this. "Hey I'm pretty good for my age and size.
But it is fun and does help keep the muscles in good shape. I can't beat mom
yet but one day that is going to happen."*

* *

*Sandy had not said a lot when John talked of what he felt was coming. "John
I would like an answer to a question that is bothering e."*

* *

*"I will answer it if I can Sandy."*

* *

*"You have said things like when things get bad, people will try to steal or
kill to eat and other things that worry me. But why do you think this is
going to happen?"*

* *

*Now he considered just how to explain this to her. "The last time America
was in this bad of shape was the great depression. Today most of the banks
will survive this, but a lot of the control of banking is now in government
hands. The auto industry is in the same condition. The US debt is so high we
don't have the gold, silver or other precious metals to handle it. States
are running out of money and taxes are going up fast. Business who creates
jobs is being taxed and regulated out of the market. Most of the oil is
purchased from foreign companies and governments. But America is being told
they should not use oil because it is bad for the environment. A new science
called Global Warming has been created from nothing to prove this point. But
Global Warming has been going on since the last ice age. It can be caused by
volcanoes erupting and other ways as well, such as burning rain forests,
forest fires and the likes. There is some much happening and so little
honest news put out people don't see what is coming."*

* *

*Sandy now saw some of John's worry. "OK I am with you so far."*

* *

*"The last time this happened every country had many changes happen. Some
were good and some were not. Germany was very much like we are today at that
time. But Hitler rose there and millions died. I can see here some forms of
racial fighting happening, as long as government cannot step in. Mexico is
going to be even poorer. Canada will survive, but it will not be easy. When
politicians are no longer paid do you think they will continue to govern? As
federal offices are not paid they will close down. That will happen when the
debt is no longer financed by the world. At that point US money has no value
at all."*

* *

*Sandy and Krystal just had never looked at this from John's view. "I see
the debt is big, but they say it can be paid off."*

* *

*"What is it going to be paid off with? We are talking debt with 12 zeros
behind it and most can't conceive that. We don't have the precious metals,
manufacturing has left this country over the last twenty years and far too
many jobs are in service areas that produce nothing of value. The socialists
have taken control enough here to destroy what was built long ago. So we
will see the US fall and it is going to hurt."*

* *

*"How is your currency better than what we have now?"*

* *

*"I bought gold and silver coins and have them here. What I originally
bought is now worth almost double what I paid for them. So I have around
forty eight million to back our credit system here. The name credit was to
make people understand it is different from the dollar. That way we did not
get arrested for issuing a new currency, as it is not a printed monetary
currency. It is a computer based currency and only usable here in our
company compound. You each will find a card in your bankbooks that can be
used as a credit card here. But you can buy anything offered on the net if
you wish. The value of the credit is set daily to its value to the dollar.
From its creation it had grown stronger and the dollar weaker. But all other
currencies are weaker over the past six months also."*

* *

*"This has been kind of mind blowing to me John. You have created a world
within a world. But I seem to understand this one better than the one I came
from? That is a little confusing."*

* *

*"Here what you see is what you get. There are no questions you have that
would not be answered. The laws here are complete in a book of just ten
pages. Now there are no taxes on your income and the company owns the
businesses here. That is what makes things as low cost as they are. But you
will see that as you do some shopping or eat at the club or diner."*

* *

*The two girls got up hugged John and headed back to their world. "Can it
really be this good here Krystal?"*

* *

*"Come with me for a little bit. I have been a little more adventurous than
you have and we need to walk downtown."*

* *

*The two girls walked the shops and enjoyed meeting people. They saw how
little some things costs and how high others were. If it was made locally it
was low cost and if not the cost was higher. But the grocery had very low
prices for the food there and there was lots of it. *

* *

*They saw the new pool being built and the clubhouse. Both were pleased that
dances were held for families to come. Young children were handled in a
nursery and older ones in a playroom. There was an adult dance floor and one
for children as well. This small town was well set up for people to live a
nice life. *

* *

*"What do you think Sandy?"*

* *

*"Right now I think the kids are safe and will be well taken care of. The
rest of this is such a shock to me, it is going to take some time before I
come to grips with it. It seems John put his money where his mouth was and I
mean a lot of money."*

* *

*The office was pretty still now. Tommy had installed the workstation and
computer for Kelly. John was looking out the window and wondering what was
coming and how fast? There was no longer any relationship between reporting
and fact. So he had to search for small pieces of truth and assemble what
seemed logical. Then hope if he acted it was the truth?*

* *

*Christmas was very close now and John was ready. He really needed the break
and was looking forward to the holiday. When one of his mining supervisors
came in. "Sir we need to take some."*

* *

*"OK what is the problem Simon?"*

* *

*"We were cutting those extra rooms you asked for. In the last we hit the
largest seam of gold I have ever seen. I don't mean flakes it is solid and a
major find."*

* *

*John was not too shocked. "Where have you seen gold seams before Simon?"*

* *

*"I worked in South Africa in the mines for a time. But I never expected to
see this kind of find here." He was excited and almost shaking.*

* *

*"Calm down Simon and just take deep breaths. We can't let anyone know of
this find. If any government knew of it, they would try their best to take
it away. So we will just block that room off and finish the rest. Be sure no
one has samples of that gold, as I don't want it known by everyone. Let them
know that if word gets out their ass is in deep trouble with me. That
included you Simon, as your responsible for all of them."*

* *

*"Just me and Willy knows about the gold boss. He knows how to keep his trap
shut and I am sure he has no samples. But I'll check him to be sure."*

* *

*"Both of you if this stays secret will do well. You will need to find a few
more who are good at not talking. Then as a group you will mine and refine
the gold into coin blanks. Those jobs will pay well, have special living
quarters and will be well taken care of."*

* *

*Now John's worry was showing. "This really worries you doesn't it?"*

* *

*"It could destroy everything I have done here. Greed is the root of the
political animal. Here they would not stop at just taking it, they would
nationalize the mine toss us out and claim it was for the peoples good. They
were just protecting the peoples assets."*

* *

*Simon could see someone in government doing just that. In the past he would
have agreed with it, but that was not the case now. "You had better have a
guard on that area sir."*

* *

*John called David and he was there quickly. The find was explained to him
and he did set up a guard. Most were told it was a fault that needed some
watching. So mining was shutdown for a time there. *

* *

*After Simon and Willy left David was ready to go after them. "If either one
of those men say anything were going to be screwed."*

* *

*"If you said anything we would be screwed. Those two are not leaving the
compound and their Internet traffic will be watched. Neither uses it much so
any activity will be odd. But I do trust them and will accept their word. If
you see any areas to worry about let me know."*

* *

*David just could not argue with this way of moving forward. "OK boss we
will watch and wait."*

* *

*The company now was at its greatest risk by being very rich. So showing
debt to the government was the better way now. The company owed John 55
million and was paying interest on that. It had several construction
companies John owned that were also debt holders. None made any money as all
showed losses. But that was the way most companies today were operating. If
any made a lot then government would be all over them to see why. It needed
money and would find it wherever it could.*

* *

*The day before Christmas John decided to hold a little party at the pool.
Everyone had been invited and tables set up for food and drinks behind the
glass watching area. The people were just beyond belief with what they saw.
The pool was Olympic size with diving boards. The hot tubs were of two types
on above ground and one sunk into the floor. Then the steam rooms were in
each bath area. One was for the men and one for the ladies. By being in the
bath areas, no one had to worry about being seen without clothing by the
other sex.*

* *

*People came by and thanked John for the facility. Kids wanted to just strip
and swim now. It was a happy crowd and everyone was part of that.*

* *

*"My friends I thank you for your comments today. It is my hope you all
enjoy this pool, hot tubs and the steam rooms. There will be scheduled
events here and scheduled open swimming periods. The schools will use it
during the daytime for two hours a day for PE classes. Please see the
manager for any requests you might have. But the pool schedule will always
be posted on our intranet. It opens at 7AM and closes at 12AM seven days a
week. So I am sure you can find a time to use it."*

* *

*The applause was loud and heart felt by most. People felt safe and secure
in their jobs. Watching thousands of jobs disappear according to the news,
made their world safer feeling to them. *

* *

*John, Dana and Kelly left ad walked the streets of the town. "Darling what
is eating at you?" Dana could just feel it.*

* *

*"We found a new large vein of gold below ground today. It should produce
many tons of gold bars. But if the government finds out they will come and
take it. You know everything belongs to them now. What they don't own
outright they tax until they do."*

* *

*Dana was now pissed and so was Kelly. "Daddy no one here would ever tell
them what we have."*

* *

*"I sure hope your right little one. Only a very few people know about it
now. But that is bound to grow over time. We have to hope the government
fails before anyone outside knows. If they did find out we would be at war
with our own government."*

* *

*They walked and considered the possible problems. *
