CAMP - Ron's Journey
Part 3: Field Agent Ronald Chaffey
by WhiteStar

Chapter 1: New Home for the Chaffeys

        The next morning, Ron was the first to wake up.  However, in trying to 
get out of bed, he woke up everyone else.  It went something like this:  In 
order to get out of bed, he had to roll Megan off his one side.  This woke her 
up, but not before she bumped Jess, who in turn jostled Nikki, who 
accidentally elbowed Tammy, who then banged up against Sandra.  It was a good 
thing it was a king-size bed, but it was still crowded.  Not that it had 
mattered last night.  
        The only part that had disturbed Ron, and was still bothering him, was 
Miko's absence.  He would have to talk to her about that.  He also needed to 
make plans about a new dwelling.  It would take too long to patch up this 
house to make it livable.  Ron had set up a barrier so that no one could enter 
the house, but that was very draining on his system.  He woke up almost as 
tired as when he'd gone to bed.
        He went into the kitchen and got himself some breakfast.  Just then 
his mother came into the kitchen.
        "Good morning, Ron!"
        "Hey, Mom.  You're awful cheery today.  How are you feeling, really?" 
Ron studied her face for signs of pain, but didn't see any.  He was too wore 
out to bother with a scan.
        "I'm okay, really, Ron.  I'm sore, in a lot of places, but no major 
pains anywhere.  You did a fine job patching me up.  Ron?  Can we talk about 
some things?"
        "Sure, Mom.  What do you want to talk about?"
        "Well, I've come to understand that somehow you're in control of 
everything.  I mean, I don't think I could go against your wishes if I wanted 
to, not that I've wanted to lately.  What's going on?"
        Ron wasn't sure how much to tell her, but then he realized that she 
couldn't tell anyone anyway, so he decided to lay it all out for her.  "Well, 
Mom, it's like this.  Remember the day I told Dad off?"
        "Yes."
        "Well, that was the first day I realized I had this neato power.  I 
could make people do whatever I wanted them to.  Ever since then, I've kinda 
been controlling the whole household."
        "So, your sisters, and me, we've all been 'under your spell'?"
        "Well, sort of.  It's not quite like a spell, but that's an easy 
enough analogy.  There's lots of different ways of doing it."
        "And camp was about what, really?"
        "CAMP was to teach me how to use my abilities to their fullest 
extent."  Ron was quoting the manual again.
        "Okay, now, why am I not angry about all of this?"  She felt she ought 
to be, but couldn't bring herself to it.
        "I'm not entirely sure on all aspects of it, but I think I sort of 
changed the way you think, so that you're happy with life as it is."
        "Oh.  Okay."  Ron was surprised to find that she was entirely 
satisfied with this answer.  "So, I guess you're the man of the house now.  
What do we do now?  I don't have the money to get the house fixed up, and we 
can't afford to move."
        "I told you last night, Mom.  I've got a job with CAMP, and they pay 
way better than your job does.  I'll find us a new house today,  and we can 
move in before school starts."
        "So, you *will* be going back to school?"  Sandra queried.
        "Oh, yeah.  It's very important that I finish my schooling.  It's part 
of my agreement with CAMP."
        "Now, what about all these girls running around?"
        Ron could tell his mother had pretty much been out of it last night.  
He had covered all of this in the family meeting.  He didn't mind going over 
it again for Sandra though.  "Well, of course, Tammy is Nikki's friend.  Megan 
is my.... slave.  I picked her up at CAMP.  Jessica is also my slave, if you 
remember, she was my student at the end of last school year."
        "Oh, yes.  Now I remember."  Ron wondered if there were still some 
lingering effects from Marinda.  He had cleared out all the commands, but 
maybe all the pathways hadn't reasserted themselves yet.
        "Anyway, Miko is my.... well, she'll tell you she's my slave, too, but 
I prefer to think of her as my girlfriend."  Ron wasn't really sure *what* he 
felt about Miko, just that he didn't want to be without her.  "Speaking of 
Miko, I really need to have a talk with her.  Did you want to know anything 
else?"
        "No, I should really get ready for work now.  I'm already late."  
Sandra started to get up, but Ron stopped her.
        "No, Mom.  Call in sick today.  I don't want you going out in your 
condition.  I'm going to call Dr. Brown, and have her come over to look at you 
later."
        "Okay, Ron.  I'll just rest here, then."  She picked up the phone, and 
sat down to make her call.
        "I'll be up in my room with Miko if you need anything."
        "Alright, honey.... Yes, this is Sandra Chaffey, may I speak..."
        Ron headed up to his room.  Out of habit, he knocked before entering.  
Then he realized how silly that was, given it was _his_ bedroom.  He quietly 
opened the door, and walked in.  
        Miko was sleeping soundly curled up on Ron's bed.  She made quiet 
little snore noises that Ron found absolutely adorable.  He sat down in the 
chair beside his bed, and just stared at her for a while.  She was wearing one 
of Dawn's nightshirts, but he could clearly remember the body beneath from 
last night.  He watched her chest rise and fall with her breath.  Her face 
looked angelic in the peaceful rest of sleep.  He hesitated to wake her, but 
knew the rest of the family would be up very shortly, and would disturb her 
rest anyway.  He reached his hand out toward her shoulder, but when he got 
about six inches from her, she awoke, and reflexively jumped away from him.  
She did not retreat farther after she realized who it was, but she was still 
trembling.
        Ron felt a load of anger boil up in him again at the thought of what 
she must have gone through to put that kind of terror into her.  He forced it 
back down, knowing it did no good, and might frighten Miko even further.
        "Miko?  Are you okay?"  Ron was very concerned that the girl was 
emotionally quite fragile.
        "Yes, Master Ron.  I am sorry I moved away from you.  I am ready to be 
punished."
        'Punished?  For that?  I don't think so!'  Ron moved over and sat on 
the edge of the bed.  Miko was still quaking.  Ron reached over and rested his 
hand on her arm.  "Miko, I am not going to punish you for something you 
couldn't control anyway.  You don't need to be afraid of me, I'm not going to 
hurt you.  I just wanted to talk to you, if you feel up to it."
        Miko settled some at Ron's words, and she made a great effort to 
compose herself.  And succeeded, for the most part.  "Yes, Master.  What would 
you like to talk about?"
        "Well, for starters, I was curious as to why you didn't join us last 
night when we went to bed."
        "That was a family gathering, Master.  I am not a member of the 
family."
        "Miko, you are as much a member of the family as Megan, or Tammy, or 
Jess is.  You are now a member of my family.  You will be treated just like 
all of the others here.  I will protect you just like I protect them.  Do you 
understand?"
        Miko nodded meekly.  Ron tried to hug her, but she was so curled up, 
he couldn't really get his arms around her.  "Miko, would you please stand 
up?"  She did as requested, but kept her face to the floor.  "Is there 
something wrong?"
        She mumbled something, but Ron couldn't make it out.  He wasn't even 
sure it was English.  "Excuse me?  What?"
        "I am not worthy of your protection, Master.  I have displeased you.  
You may send me away now."
        'This girl has some serious problems in her head.  I could easily 
remove those memories.... No.  Not unless she agrees to it.'
        "Miko, I am 'not' unhappy with you.  You have not 'displeased' me at 
all.  I am not angry, upset, or even mildly annoyed.  I am happy that you have 
decided to stay."
        "Then why do you still call me Miko?"
        "Huh?"  Ron was totally lost now.
        "If you are my Master, and I am your servant, why do you not use my 
proper name?"
        "Well, you told me to call you Miko...."
        "Master, I said my *friends* call me Miko.  It is not proper for you 
to demean yourself in that manner."
        "I don't understand.  What should I call you, then?"
        "It is appropriate that you refer to your possession by her proper 
name, Kumiko."
        "Is this what has been troubling you?"
        "It is one thing, yes, Master."
        "Well, Kumiko, I'm sorry I worried you.  I wasn't aware that I should 
have been using your full name.  What else is bothering you?"
        "I am not worthy to serve the Master."
        "Kumiko, you are as worthy as anyone else who lives here, except me, 
of course."  Ron added that only because he knew it was what she expected him 
to say.  He was starting to catch on, but he'd need to read up on Japanese 
customs if he was going to keep up with this girl.
        "You are truly satisfied with me, Master?"  She desperately needed to 
believe that he accepted her.
        "Kumiko, I am more than satisfied with you.  I am overjoyed with you.  
Now then, how are you really feeling this morning?  I mean, do you hurt 
anywhere?"
        "No, Master.  I am sore where I had the bruises, but you have taken 
care of me well.  Thank you again."  She bowed, very formally, low enough that 
he could actually see the back of her neck.
        'This is going to take some getting used to.'  He could have ordered 
her not to do it, but he decided he kind of liked it.  He wouldn't want to 
have all the women going around bowing like that, but for one, it was kind of 
cool.
        "Kumiko, please stand still."  She did so, and Ron did a quick, but 
gentle, inspection of her body and its' many bruises.  The hip still seemed to 
be tender.  He stood behind her to inspect her legs, and as he rose from his 
crouch, he embraced her from behind.  It was gentle, as everything he did with 
Kumiko was gentle.  He hugged her to him, in a way that stated beyond any 
doubt that he thought of her as 'his', to be protected, cared for, and loved.  
Tears formed in her eyes, but she said nothing.  Ron noticed them, but 
realized these were not tears of sadness, but joy.  He also knew this was not 
a time for talking.  He held her, rocking very slightly back and forth, for a 
long time.  She was somewhat shorter than Ron, so she leaned her head back 
against his shoulder, with a small, peaceful smile of contentment on her face.
        Eventually, the real world had to intrude on their Paradise.  Ron 
heard the commotion downstairs.  It was just the normal noise of six people 
sitting at a table yakking, but it was enough to destroy the mood.  "Are you 
ready to have breakfast yet, Kumiko?"
        "Yes, Master.  But, what shall I wear?"
        He was tempted to say, "Nothing", but he realized the house presently 
had no front door.  "Stay here a moment."  He walked to Dawn's room, and 
looked in her closet.  He found something he'd forgotten she had.  One year, 
his sister had been in a play as a Japanese lady.  She'd had to wear a wig, 
since most Japanese are not blonde, but she had done well.  The kimono she had 
used as a costume was hanging in the closet.  Ron immediately thought that 
this was appropriate dress for Kumiko.  She would, of course, agree, since it 
was her Master's opinion.  He returned to his room.
        "Here, you can wear this.  It should fit you."
        "Oh, Master!  It is beautiful.  Thank you very much."  She put it on, 
and it was an almost perfect fit.  It covered her body fully, but Ron's 
imagination still filled in the hidden details.
        "Okay, let's go to breakfast!"  They headed downstairs to the kitchen. 
 The talking stopped as they entered, and everyone saw Kumiko.  Her hair was a 
mess, and what makeup she had been wearing had smeared, but she was still 
beautiful.
        "Well, Good Morning!" piped Megan.  "Glad to see you're up and about."
        "Thank you."  replied Kumiko, in an almost-whisper.  "May I sit down?"
        "Of course, Miko.  You're a member of the family now.  Do what you 
want, so long as Ron thinks it's okay."  Dawn's reply was perfect: it stated 
the position of the entire family, and then included Kumiko in that group.  
Everyone was treating her like just another member of the family.  Ron was 
pleased.

        After breakfast, Ron needed to deal with a new home.  He thought he 
knew how to get one.
        "Hello, Mr. Simmons' office."
        "Hello.  This is Ronald Chaffey.  I need to speak with Mr. Simmons, 
please."
        "Look, son, Mr. Simmons is a very busy man-"
        "Just ask him if he'll take the call."  Ron was in no mood to deal 
with a whiney-ass secretary.
        "Hold, Please."  Ron listened to some Muzak for about ten seconds.
        "Ron!  Hey, buddy, what can I do for you?"
        "Mr. Simmons-"
        "Bill, remember?"
        "Okay, Bill.  I need a little help, and I have a proposition for you.  
Can we meet for lunch or something?  I'd rather not discuss it on the phone."  
He wasn't worried about security, but he still wasn't sure of his 
long-distance controls, and he thought he might need to adjust Bill somewhat, 
though he didn't think so.
        "Alright.  I'll pick you up at noon, maybe ten after.  We'll go to The 
Remington.  Should I bring a briefcase, or anything?"
        "No, I don't think you'll need it for this."
        "Alrighty, then.  I'll see you 'round noon."

        The Remington was a very upscale place.  Ron had put on the best 
clothes he had for this meeting.  He felt wholly uncomfortable, but he knew 
that business was always conducted in as uncomfortable an outfit as you could 
manage.  He never understood why, that's just the way it was.
        They made idle chat until the main course arrived, then Bill settled 
down to get the meat of the discussion out in the open.  "So, Ron.  You say 
you've got a proposition?  Anything I can do to help my buddy.  Shoot."
        "Well," Ron started, "you know what I did for your wife, right?"
        "Oh, yes!  I'd like to thank you again for that.  It has been 
absolutely wonderful the last eight weeks."
        "Good, I'm glad to hear it.  Here's my problem:  My family needs a new 
home."  In response to the look on Bill's face, Ron hastened to add, "Don't 
worry, I'm not asking you to provide one.  But, I'm sure you have contacts to 
people who could get us into a home pretty cheap, don't you?"
        "Well, yeah, Ron, I do.  But, I mean, I don't have the kind of clout 
to pull that kind of favor out of thin air.  I mean, they'd basically be 
tossing money away."
        "Do any of these people you know happen to have wives?"
        "Of course they do....."  And the light started to dawn.
        "Well, you were willing to pay me almost anything to keep your wife 
the way she is.  My family needs a new home.  We need one quickly.  If one of 
your friends might be willing to trade my service for a really good deal on a 
large home, I'd be very grateful."
        "How big of a home do you need, Ron?"
        "As big as I can get.  There are eight of us right now, but there'll 
be nine of us in about seven months.  I don't know what the number will end up 
being."
        "Okay.  I know of a couple of really large houses out in the country 
that aren't selling.  I think I can talk one of my friends into selling it to 
you, maybe even in trade.  His wife is a real, pardon me, bitch.  She's always 
nagging on him.  He married her for her looks, before he realized what a shrew 
she was.  She married him for the money.  If you could tame her, he might even 
give you the damned house!"
        "That sounds real good.  Can you call him after lunch, and see if he'd 
be okay with that?"
        "Sure, but, Ron?  He's not gonna believe it."
        "Tell him he'll have his results before he gives us the house."
        "Great, but that'll take a couple days, won't it?"
        "Your wife took about half an hour."
        "Really?  Shit!  I didn't realize it was that fast.  Wait.  How's he 
gonna get his wife to go see an, excuse me, thirteen year-old kid?"
        "Hmmm.  Well, what's she into?  I mean, what're her hobbies?"
        "Mainly, money.  She likes art, though."
        "That works.  Tell her that I have some artwork she really should see. 
 It's worth lots more than I'm selling it for, and like that."
        "Do you actually have any?"
        "No, but that's not important.  All I need is to get within a few feet 
of her."
        "Okay!  I'll drop you off home, and then I'll go see what I can do.  
Hey, Ron?  Are you looking to maybe make a business out of this?"
        "You think it would sell?  We'd have to keep it real quiet."
        "Oh, it'll sell alright!"
        "Tell you what, other than this deal, which we'll call payback for 
your wife, anyone you find, you send my way, and I'll give you part of 
whatever I make."
        "That sounds cool to me.  Like a 'finder's fee'."
        "Yeah.  Like that."

        The rest of lunch was more chit-chat, and then Bill dropped Ron off 
home.  Ron spent some time cleaning things up, getting them ready to be 
packed.  When the phone rang, Kumiko answered it.
        "Hello, Ron Chaffey's residence....May I ask who's calling, 
sir?....Wait a moment, please."  She set the phone down, and turned to Ron.  
"Master?  It is someone named Bill.  Do you wish to take the call?"
        "Yes, Kumiko, and very nice way to answer the phone, too."  Kumiko 
beamed, and handed Ron the phone.  He reached over and squeezed her ass gently 
by way of a thank-you.
        "Bill?  Ron here."
        "Who, may I ask, was *that*?"
        "Oh, that was just Kumiko.  She's a.... permanent house guest."
        "I see.  Is she as pretty as she sounds?"
        "More so.  Anyway, what's up?"
        "Well, Mr. Tannon will be dropping by with his wife later this 
evening, if that's okay with you.  He has a three story, 10 bedroom house in 
the country with an attic and a basement, swimming pool, and 6 acres of land.  
He says if you can make his wife shut up, you can have the place free and 
clear.  He's willing to eat the loss to get his wife to stop nagging."
        "Sounds good to me.  But, Bill?  Remember that I said some strange 
things happened with your wife?"
        "Yeah, so?"
        "I need to be alone with her.  I don't want anyone to see what I'm 
actually doing.  It would probably just freak them out, anyway."
        "Okay, I'll pass that along.  How 'bout he just drops her off, then 
comes back later?"
        "Let's do this.  Drop her off at say, seven.  I'll call him when I'm 
done.  I don't know exactly how long it will take, it's different for each 
person."  He was temporizing now.  If she was really pretty, he would probably 
want to have some fun with her, and there was no telling how long that would 
take.
        "Works fine for me.  I'll give you his number.  It's 555-4891.  That 
way, whenever you're done... doing whatever, you can call him.  I'll have him 
drop her by around sevenish."
        "Okay, thanks a lot, Bill.  Talk to you later.  Bye."  Ron hung up, 
and made his plans for the evening.

        Ron spent his afternoon at the library, looking up some books on 
Japanese culture, the better to understand his new follower, Kumiko.  She was 
certainly beautiful, and very devoted, but she was also slightly odd.  Of 
course, this may have been one of the things that attracted Ron to her.  He 
could easily live with her eccentricities.  She was becoming his favorite, 
probably because she had never, from the beginning, ever questioned him on 
anything, except whether or not she was acceptable.  After a couple of hours 
poking around books about Japanese society, and locating a couple of items on 
the Japanese language, Ron headed home to prepare for his guest.

        He had everything set up in the den.  The den was a seldom-used room 
in the house, mainly because, for some reason, no one had ever bothered to 
install heating or air conditioning into the room.  Ron didn't figure it would 
matter all that much for the evening.  Since it was rather warm, it might even 
be an asset.
        The car dropped the woman off promptly at 7:00.  Ron watched her come 
up the walk, and his prick hardened almost instantly.  This lady might be a 
bitch,  but she was also gorgeous!  he was beginning to learn that lots of 
pretty women were bitches.  'Too bad.  Of course, they're not bitches around 
*me*.'  He drew himself up, and presented himself to her.  "Hello, Mrs. 
Tannon.  My name is Ronald Chaffey."  He used his full name to sound 
important.  "Please excuse the mess, we are... having some remodeling done, 
and it's in the early stages."  This sounded plausible, but he figured she'd 
see right through it.
        More or less, she ignored it.  "Where is the painting?"
        'Geez, she is a tight-assed bitch, ain't she.'  "Right this way, 
ma'am."  Ron led her back to the den.  He had already instructed the entire 
family to stay out of the way for the evening.  This was work, and he didn't 
want anything to interfere with how he performed his job.
        They entered the room.  What Callie Tannon saw was an easel, with 
something on it, covered in a black cloth.  A traditional way to present 
artwork, it was also a complete fabrication.  There was nothing there, Ron had 
formed an illusion for her to see.  Mrs. Tannon walked over to remove the 
cloth, no preliminary niceties at all.  Of course, when she got there, Ron 
vanished the painting into thin air.  The lady spun on her heel to face the 
boy.
        "What is going on here?"  She was more angry than frightened.  Well, 
she had no reason to be afraid of a thirteen year-old boy.
        "Sit down, Mrs. Tannon."  Callie Tannon moved slowly over to the 
couch, and, like a rusted machine, slowly sank to the couch.  She was fighting 
it every step of the way, but Ron knew what he was doing by now.
        "What are you doing to me?"
        "Just making you more pleasant, that's all.  Now, no more talking."  
Talking interfered with his concentration, and he wanted to get this job 
right.  The house sounded like a very nice place, and so Ron didn't want to 
screw this up.
        For the next twenty minutes, Ron fiddled with Callie Tannon's mind.  
Removing thoughts here, re-organizing ideas there, he turned her into the 
perfect wife.  With one, glaring exception.  She would be entirely faithful to 
her husband, unless Ron wanted her.  He installed in her brain an ultimate 
override command.  She would obey him above all others.  Ron thought this 
might be useful at a later date.
        When she finally started to come out of her "sleep", Ron handed her a 
soda.
        "Drink up, you're probably thirsty."  He knew he was, he'd already 
drank an entire can of Pepsi.  Callie drank her soda carefully, taking small 
sips until it was all gone.
        "Why am I here?"  She asked.
        "To have a little fun, that's all." Ron replied.  He took her glass 
from her.  "Please stand up, and put your arms at your sides."  Ron admired 
the statuesque figure before him.  She was 5'10" tall, beautiful, flowing 
blonde hair that reached below her shoulders, exquisite, green eyes set in a 
cultured face, with high cheekbones and a perfect nose.  Her outfit 
accentuated a wonderful pair of tits.  Her 4" heels highlighted her long legs, 
and showed them off to good measure.  Her dress stopped just above her knee, 
and so covered all the parts of her that Ron really wanted to see.  He hadn't 
had sex all day, and that was a long time for him as of late.
        "Just relax.  We're going to have some fun."
        "Okay.  Whatever you say."  Ron told her to raise her arms above her 
head, which she did.  This forced her breasts to move up even further, and 
accented them wonderfully.  The dress she was wearing was tight, and he didn't 
want to ruin it.  He used a little telekinesis to gently swish it over her 
head and off her body.  What he found underneath was, nothing.  No clothing, 
that is.  She was now completely nude.  She had worn neither bra, which he'd 
expected given her dress, nor panties, which surprised him.  He examined the 
heavenly form before him.  Her nipples were standing erect, either from the 
sudden air, or arousal.  Her body took on a very light sheen of sweat, 
certainly from the heat of the moment.
        "Spread your legs for me."  This she did, without hesitation, Ron 
noted.  He reached out with his mind, and brushed across her chest.  Her 
entire body shivered, and she let out a low moan.  Ron did it again, only 
across her abdomen.  Again, a shiver and a moan.  Now, Ron brushed across her 
pussy lips and her clit, with just the tenderest of touches.  Her body jerked, 
and she let loose a loud, guttural moan of want and need.
        "What do you want from me, Callie?"  Ron loved teasing his subjects.
        "I want you inside me, Ron.  I want you to fuck me silly."  Exactly as 
he had programmed her, when aroused, she became a complete slut, for either 
him or her husband, but no one else.
        Ron walked over to her, and caressed her ass with his hand.  It was 
firm and well toned.  'She must work out a lot.'  Ron ran his hand around her 
hip, until he was facing her in front.  Given both her present position, and 
her height, Ron was staring right above her tits.  He pulled one of her 
breasts into his mouth and sucked on them.  She pressed herself into him, 
trying to rub her body up against his.  Ron switched breasts, and continued 
the wonderful torture.  Callie was writhing in ecstasy now.  Ron reformed his 
extension, and brushed it against her pussy some more.  Her writhing and 
moaning increased.  Ron kept this up, moving faster and sucking harder until 
finally she hit her edge.  With an ear-shattering scream, she came, shuddering 
and bucking.  If it hadn't been for Ron's telekinesis, she would have 
collapsed on the floor.  But, Ron wasn't finished yet, so he couldn't let her 
go just now.
        Ron moved over to the couch, pulled off his clothes, and sat down.  
"Come on over, Callie."  Callie Tannon glided swiftly over to him.  "Kneel... 
Now, suck my cock."
        Callie Tannon, bitchy housewife, one who never did anything so 
disgusting as suck a man's cock before tonight, now gladly did as ordered.  
She took Ron's tool in hand, and began slathering it with kisses.  She worked 
her way all the way down to his balls.  She took them into her mouth, one at a 
time, and sucked on them gently.  Ron's cock grew to it's full hardness, and 
then she took it into her mouth.  At first, she just took the head, lashing it 
with her tongue, and sucking on it hard enough to vacuum the cum right out of 
it.  Eventually, she started taking more and more of it into her mouth, 
pumping with her hand what was left.  She kept this up, sucking, and pumping, 
and licking, until Ron couldn't hold back any longer.  He grabbed her head and 
held it in place.  He poured his come down her throat, and she swallowed every 
drop.
        When he was done cumming, she continued her blowjob, to make sure he 
was fully hard for the next round.  When she had him fully erect, Ron had her 
stand up.  Ron moved over to a chair, better suited for what he had in mind.
        "Come sit on my cock, facing me."  He hadn't tried this with a person 
facing him yet.  She strode over, and slowly lowered herself onto his cock.  
She let out a low hiss as his rod impaled her body.  When she finally had him 
fully inside her, he had her stop.  Now, Ron formed his extension again.  He 
formed it into a thin penis, and moved it into her asshole.  She tensed, then, 
as it pushed in, she started wiggling in his lap.
        "Oh, yesssssss!  That feels soooooo goood!"  She purred into his ear.  
Once he had the extension fully into her, he locked it into place.  Now, as 
she began to ride up and down on his cock, the extension would move in and out 
of her just as his cock did.  She tried to start slow, but her body betrayed 
her.  She was simply too stimulated to be patient.  She started bucking in his 
lap.  Ron had all he could do to hold onto her.  He applied some extra 
telekinetic energy to the situation, and floated them both up in the air.  
This eliminated the worry that they would fall off the chair.  He simulated a 
chair under him, to keep the position right.  Meanwhile, Callie's pace was 
increasing.  her tits were flouncing up and down in a very attractive manner, 
and Ron grabbed one into his mouth and started sucking on it again.  This 
drove Callie wild, and caused her to move even faster, if that was possible.  
Finally, with a pinch and a nip to each nipple, Ron brought her over the edge. 
 She shuddered, then froze in an ultimate spasm of ecstasy.  Then, she went 
limp. 
        Unfortunately, Ron had, again, not come with his partner.  Then, he 
saw Megan standing at the door.
        "Is there a problem, Megan?"
        "No, sir.  I heard the noise, I wanted to make sure everything was 
alright.  I'm sorry to interrupt."
        "Don't worry about it.  Just get out of those clothes and get over 
here!"  Ron needed relief, and Megan's entry was certainly fortuitous.  He 
wondered if he had anything to do with it, but didn't really care.
        Megan fairly tore off her clothes, popping buttons off of her shirt to 
get it off.  Her breasts burst free, and Ron grabbed for them.  He had lowered 
Mrs. Tannon to the ground, but he was still floating.  He raised Megan up off 
the floor, and yanked her pants down and off, letting them fall to the floor.  
She wasn't wearing panties, as instructed by her Master.  He briefly paused at 
her pussy to drink in some of her juices, but it was her ass he was after.
        Megan's ass was the tightest hole in the entire house.  He spun her 
around and  pressed in.  This would have been extraordinarily painful for 
Megan, but Ron had learned how to use his healing powers in other ways.  When 
he touched Megan, he both loosened her anus, and lubed her rectum from the 
inside.  He pressed into her at almost full speed.  Megan let forth a grunt, 
but showed no signs of pain.  Ron was really beyond caring anyway.  He pumped 
into her furiously.  He reached around, and, with one hand fondled a tit, 
while the other hand rubbed her pussy.  'Floating in air makes this stuff so 
easy.  No worrying about falling, or painful positions.  It's so COOL!'
        Ron kept up his maddening pace for only a couple minutes.  He came in 
what felt like buckets into Megan's ass.  Just as he came, she reached her own 
orgasm from his manual stimulation.  Again the den was filled with moans and 
wails of pure joy and pleasure.
        Ron brought them both down to rest on the couch.  Ron's cock softened, 
and withdrew from Megan's ass.  She turned, and embraced Ron.  They kissed, 
deeply, sensuously, their tongues fighting a delicious battle in each other's 
mouths.  She broke the kiss finally, and just lay her head on his shoulder, 
resting.
        "You did good, Megan.  Very good."  It was exactly what she needed to 
hear, as his sex slave, it was what she craved: to know he was happy with her 
performance.
        After a few minutes, Mrs. Tannon began to wake up.  Ron thought about 
moving Megan, but he was enjoying her where she was, so he didn't.
        "Wow!  That was wonderful!  Ron, baby, you're fantastic!"  Callie 
gushed over him.
        "Mrs. Tannon, I think you'll find that your husband is just as good."  
It didn't really matter whether his technique was as good as Ron's or not.  It 
was programmed into her that she would like them both equally well.  "Would 
you hand me the phone, please, Callie?"
        "Certainly."  She handed over the phone.  Ron dialed the number Bill 
had given him.
        "Mr. Tannon?  Yes sir, this is Ron.  Yes, sir.  You can come get your 
wife now.  No, she didn't want the painting, but I think she'll have a 
surprise for you when you get home, anyway.  Yes sir.  See you soon."  Ron 
hung up the phone and handed it back to Callie.  "You should get dressed now." 
 Megan started to get up, but Ron held her in place. "Not you.  You stay put." 
 Megan lay back down, with a huge, serene smile on her face.
        Eventually, Ron did have to let Megan up, so he could get dressed to 
greet Mr. Tannon.
        "Hello, Ron!  It's nice to finally meet you."
        "Hello, sir.  It's a pleasure to meet you, too."
        "So, how went the experiment?"
        "It wasn't an experiment, sir.  And it went perfectly, as I thought it 
would."  Callie was off in the restroom, fixing her hair or somesuch bullshit. 
 "So, sir, when you confirm that your wife has indeed been changed..."
        "The papers are already drawn up, my young friend.  Bill trusts you, 
so I trust you.  But, how do you know you can trust me?  I mean, I could take 
my wife and run."
        "No, you couldn't.  First off, there's nowhere you could go I can't 
find you.  And second, once I found you, I can make her worse than she was 
before."
        "Oh, Dear Lord, don't do that!  Very well.  If you want to move your 
family into the house tonight, it's fine with me.  The electric and water are 
still on.  We can handle the paperwork tomorrow."
        "Thank you sir.  We'll need a key..."  Mr. Tannon provided two.  
"Thanks again.  We'll move in tonight.  We're sort of missing a front door 
here."
        "So I'd noticed.  What happened?"
        "Just a minor battle, that's all.  You have a good night, sir."
        Callie Tannon was hanging off of his arm now, which was something she 
never did before.  Mr. Tannon gave Ron a big grin.  "Oh, I think I'm gonna.  
Good night, young man."  And with that, the Tannons left.
        Sandra came up and gave Ron a hug just then.  "Well, hon, you said 
you'd find us a house today..."  She left the question hang.
        "Here's the keys, Mom. "  Mr. Tannon had also provided explicit 
directions with the keys.  "Let's get some stuff together and go over there 
for the night."
        "Okay, Ron.  I'll call the girls together."

Chapter 2: New Year, New School, New Strategy

        The home was a dream.  With ten bedrooms, each person could have their 
own, though Nikki and Tammy chose to sleep in the same room, as did Megan and 
Jess.  Not that they had any kind of relationship, but they saw themselves as 
servants of Ron, and he had programmed them specifically to work with each 
other.
        Ron took the Master Suite, and his Mom took the room next to it.  The 
house was beautifully furnished, if somewhat too elegant for Ron's tastes.  
He'd fix that later.  For now, what he wanted was just to settle in.
        Over the next few days, the Chaffey family removed the items from 
their old home into their new, luxurious mansion.  By the time the move was 
complete, it was time for school to start back up.  School, unfortunately, 
started on Ron's fourteenth birthday.  'What a birthday present.'  Ron didn't 
like school all that much, though he liked learning.  'Then again, I can 
probably make this year lots of fun.'  He was entering the same high school as 
his sister, which was a four-year school, unlike some parts of the country.

        On Ron's first day of school, his main objective was finding Targets.  
He had basically given up Mrs. Hayes, since he wouldn't see her much anymore.  
Though, he could still use her, since the junior high wasn't very far from the 
high school.  Actually, he turned out to be incorrect, as he found upon 
entering his American History class.  He sat down just as he noticed a very 
familiar face.
        "Good morning, class.  My name is Mrs. Hayes.  Your teacher, Mr. 
Baker, has been promoted to administration, and so I'll be your teacher this 
year."  She looked over at Ron and gave a smile.  'Well, this is going to be a 
fun class!'

        Ron had spotted other potential targets throughout the day.  He saw a 
couple of the cheerleading squad he recognized from junior high.  They had 
always scorned him before.  Now he saw them in a new light.  He could have 
them whenever he wanted them.  Ron was thinking along these lines when someone 
shoved him from behind.
        "What you lookin' at, Chaffey?"  It was Dale.  Apparently, he'd 
finally gotten out of 9th grade, and made it into 10th, which made him a 
bigshot on campus, Ron guessed, instead of the pipsqueak he'd been before.  
That's why he'd always picked on junior high kids, because everyone at the 
high school knew he was a joke.  "That's my girl you were ogling there."  Ron 
didn't think so, but didn't bother saying it.  He was trying to decide how 
best to deal with Dale, and one word came to mind. 'Violently.'
        "Fuck off, Dale."  He knew he had the power to back this phrase up 
now.
        "Ooh, big words, little man."  With that, Dale took a swing at Ron.  
Ron was fast enough to duck out of the way.  Now, he had to make the next part 
look good.  He formed his telekinetic extension, and timed it precisely with 
his fist.  He connected soundly on Dale's jaw.  The punch alone would have 
done very little, but getting hit with Ron's extension was like getting hit by 
a small freight train.  Dale staggered back, and fell to the ground.  The rest 
of the group gaped at Ron, and then took off running.
        "Cowards!" Dale screamed.  "You got lucky, you little shit.  Now I'm 
gonna pound ya!"  Ron looked around.  Nobody was looking their way.
        "Dale, stop."  Dale froze in place.  Ron pointed to a large elm 
standing in the school yard.  "I want you to run as fast as you possibly can, 
headlong into that tree.  Do not slow down, do not stop until you hit the 
tree.  Then, if you're still conscious," which Ron doubted he would be, "I 
want you to get up and do it again, until you can't get up anymore.  Then, 
when you wake up, you will remember my order, but you won't be able to tell 
anyone what happened.  You'll just tell them you snapped.  You've got some 
loose wiring in your head, or whatever.  Now, go."
        With that, Dale started barreling toward the tree.  It was a good 
fifty yards away, and Dale had a full head of steam up when he connected.  Ron 
had long since stopped watching.  He didn't much care for the sight of blood.  
What he wanted was for Dale to be utterly terrified of him.  Word would get 
around. "Leave Ron alone, man, he's scary."  That's the reputation he wanted.  
He didn't want to be popular, or well-liked.  He didn't really give a shit 
about becoming Student Body President or such crap.  He really just wanted to 
be left alone, and the easiest way to accomplish that was if everyone was 
afraid of him.  He heard the 'smack!' as Dale met the elm tree, but he didn't 
look.  Ron headed to his next class, thinking already about Geometry.
        
        His last class of the day was a tutoring position in a remedial math 
class.  He walked into class and heard someone saying "Did you hear what 
happened to Dale?"
        "No, what?"
        "He ran into the old elm tree, full force!"
        "Is he okay?  What happened?"
        "Nobody knows.  They took him to the hospital, they think he just 
snapped.  Must've blown a gasket."
        Ron just smiled, and walked to the front of the class.  There he found 
a note for him:
        Ron:
                I'll be late for class.  Try to get them settled down.  
Introduce yourself, and start with review, if you can get them to listen to 
you.  Sorry to put you through this, it couldn't be avoided.
                                Thanks,
                                Ms. Ford

        'Wonderful.  Just fucking wonderful.  Well, let's see:  Do I do this 
the easy way, or the normal way?  The normal way won't accomplish much.  The 
easy way will make the teacher think I'm a miracle worker.  I like the easy 
way.'  Ron smiled to himself, and formed his command.  He broadcast it to the 
entire room.  It was an obedience layer, so that they would do what he told 
them to.
        The bell hadn't rung yet, so he let them yak still.  He observed the 
class as he did so.  'There are a couple of really fine bodies in this class.  
I wonder if they might need some 'personalized service'?'
        Just then the bell rung, and, though everyone was now in their seats, 
they hadn't settled down yet.
        "Okay, everybody, let's chill out, okay?"  He started out polite, as 
he was raised.  This had little effect other than a few snide remarks from the 
upperclassmen in the room.  Ron figured it was time to exert some power.
        "Sit down, Shut up, and Listen Good!"  The room dropped dead silent.  
Everyone faced forward, being very attentive.  "That's better.  Hello, my name 
is Ron Chaffey.  I am, obviously, not your teacher.  Ms. Ford will be here at 
some point during the period.  She asked me to handle things until she got 
here.  I am here as a math tutor.  I understand that most of you are studying 
basic arithmetic, and as high as pre-algebra.  I am presently taking Geometry 
and Algebra II.  I am an Honors student, and my job is to help you any way I 
can so that you can learn this stuff which I'm sure all of you hate, otherwise 
you probably wouldn't be here.  Are there any questions?"
        One girl raised her hand, unsure whether to speak in front of 
everyone.  Ron acknowledged her.  "I want to learn this stuff, but I'm just 
not getting it.  My teachers say I should have a tutor for this.  Can you 
recommend someone?"  
        Now, the questioner just happened to be one of the girls Ron had 
noticed earlier.  She was about Ron's height, slender, with nice tits and 
curly blonde hair.  She had brown eyes set in an open face.  Her body was just 
spectacular.
        "Yes, I can recommend someone.  Me.  In addition to tutoring here, I 
have always provided private tutoring at my home for those students who really 
need it."  He saw no reason to change his policy now, though the money he'd 
make now sure wouldn't mean much.  He'd probably only be taking female 
students, now.  "If your parents feel you need a tutor, have them give me a 
call."  He wrote his new phone number on the board.  "If I'm not home, someone 
will be there, just leave a message."
        "Now then, Ms. Ford would like us to do a sort of review, to see where 
each of you stands...."
        About halfway through the class, A young woman walked into the room.  
She was mildly attractive, about 5'4" tall, dark brown hair, nice tits, and an 
all-around nice figure.  Ron was leaning over, helping a guy with a 
multiplication of fractions problem.  She waited until he was finished.  When 
he saw her, he straightened up.
        "You must be Ms. Ford."
        "Yes, I am.  You're Ronald?"
        "Ron, ma'am.  Yes, that's me."
        "You've done an incredible job here.  I didn't think you'd be able to 
get them to listen to you."
        Ron looked around at the students.  They were all looking at him, 
waiting for his answer.  "Well, basically they're good kids, Ms. Ford.  I just 
had to get their attention, that's all."
        "Well, I must say that I am impressed.  Is that your phone number on 
the board?"
        "Yes, ma'am.  I wrote it there in case anyone needed private tutoring. 
 I do that, too."
        "Well, class, it seems like you have two teachers this year.  Lucky 
you.  And lucky me."  She smiled at Ron, in kind of a strange way.  'Yep, it's 
gonna be a fun year.'

        School was going along just fine.  It had been a couple of weeks since 
school started.  He hadn't started tutoring yet, since it was his policy to 
wait and see where the student's real problems were.  He was moving slowly, 
not out of caution, but simply because he knew he had time.
        Dale was assiduously avoiding him since he had returned to school, and 
already word was spreading, "Don't mess with Ron."  'Good, maybe now I won't 
have to worry about those clowns anymore.'
        It was the middle of gym class, when the call came in.
        "Chaffey!  Phone call for you, at the office!"  The gym instructor 
bellowed.
        "Yes, sir!"  He headed on down to the office, where he saw Mrs. 
Wimberly, a pleasant older lady, who liked almost everyone, and saw that 
returned.  "Hi, Mrs. Wimberly.  Coach Russell said I had a call?"
        "Yes, Ron.  It's on line 3.  Don't be too long, now."
        "No, ma'am.  Hello?"
        "Ron?"
        "Hey, James!  What's up?"
        "We've got, or should I say *You've* got trouble."
        "What?"
        Well, it turned out that Gillian Anderson's new series, "Tales of the 
Unkown" was being filmed in the local area.  It also seemed that a rogue 
psionic had taken over the set.  One stage hand had already been sent to the 
hospital.
        "I thought we didn't get involved in this stuff, James."
        "CAMP members would be more discreet.  This guy turned down our 
membership.  We judge them rather more harshly than we judge ourselves.  
Besides, this guy's hurting people for no real reason.  Non-entities or not, 
they deserve some protection.  Get on it, immediately."
        "Understood.  I'll leave now."  Ron hung up, and turned to Mrs. 
Wimberly.  "Ma'am, there's an emergency at home.  I have to leave now."
        "You know I can't let you go, Ron.  You have to talk to Mr. 
Whitehead."  She called him out into the office.  
        "What is it, Mr. Chaffey?"
        Ron exerted some powers, to get his way, and got the hell out of 
there.  Then he wondered, 'How in the world do I get there?'  Then he 
remembered his comment at CAMP:  '"Why don't you just make yourselves 
invisible?  It's got to be faster than driving."'  
        'Of course!  I'll fly there!'  Ron concentrated a little, and turned 
himself invisible.  Next, he floated himself up into the air.  This was a new 
sensation, Ron hadn't really done much flying before.
        Ron set off for the woods near town, where they were presently 
filming.  Despite a few minor mishaps and one almost-catastrophe involving a 
large moving vehicle, Ron made it there in record time.  He set himself down 
in the woods, so no one would see him appear.  Then, he walked out into plain 
sight, to see the carnage.
        Gillian Anderson was tied to a stake, completely nude.  The sight was 
not unattractive to Ron.  Her body shone with a light layer of sweat.  Next to 
her were two other women, whose names Ron didn't know.  Ron decided it would 
be best to leave them tied up for now, figuring the psionic wouldn't bother 
them if he didn't think them a threat.
        He found the psionic tossing the director against a wall.  Ron knew 
the force of the blow could kill the guy.  He projected a nice soft cushion 
against the wall, so the director just slumped to the ground.
        "Who are you!"  The other psionic screamed.
        "Field Agent Ron Chaffey, who are you?"
        "I am Penndragon, mighty psionic!"
        "We'll see about that."  Ron raised his barriers, and got ready for a 
tough fight.
        Penndragon formed a wall of energy and threw it at Ron.  It flowed 
right around Ron, as if he weren't even there.  Ron plunged a mental attack 
back at him, but he managed to deflect it with another attack of his own.  As 
James had warned him, even someone who hasn't learned the mental defenses can 
defend themselves.  If they can attack often enough, hard enough, your attacks 
never get through.
        Ron formed his extension into a bird.  This was something he hadn't 
tried before, but he was confident enough in his shield to try some new 
things.  He detached his extension from his body, and sent it off.  
Penndragon, also a psionic, saw this, and followed it with his eyes.  Ron 
swooped it around behind Penndragon, who foolishly turned to watch.  At that 
point, Ron slammed a mental control into Penndragon's head.  The man had no 
time to block, no time to fight.  He was thrown to his knees, quivering in 
pain.  Ron knew the pain would last until he stopped it.
        Now, Ron turned his attention to the women tied up.  They had all seen 
the battle, so there wasn't much point in trying to hide his ability from 
them, he'd simply have to keep them from talking about it.  He undid their 
bonds, all at once.  The two lesser ladies ran to him and gave him a hug, but 
Ms. Anderson walked over to her chair and had a cigarette.
        Ron was enjoying the attention of the two ladies.  He was feeling them 
up rather obviously.  He found out they were named Susan and Janine.  He 
looked over at Gillian, who had covered herself up with a blanket.
        "That's a filthy habit, ma'am." Ron said to her.
        "Go to hell.  What, do you people play these games for fun?"
        "'You people', ma'am?  He and I are not associated.  Furthermore, I 
would never dream of hurting people the way he did, for no good reason."
        "But you would hurt people, hmm?"
        "Yes, ma'am, in order to defend myself, or my family, or to get even 
for things done to me in the past.  Now, Ms. Anderson, I have to make all of 
you forget you ever saw any of this."
        "Like that's gonna happen!"  She eyed him suspiciously, but then she 
blanked, as he worked into her mind.  On top of the mental block about today's 
happenings, he added a few extra commands.  Like, she wouldn't want to smoke 
anymore.  And some other things.
        He went around, adjusting everyone, with the two ladies hanging off of 
either arm.  Finally, they were the only two left.
        "Well, ladies, it's your turn."
        "Awww." Susan pouted, "Can't we have some fun first?"
        "What do you mean?" Ron asked knowingly.
        "Well, we can't let you go without thanking you for rescuing us, can 
we?"  Janine agreed with Susan, and Ron was not willing to argue the point.
        "What did you have in mind?"  Like he didn't already know.  Neither 
girl was probably over 19, both seemed to be nymphomaniacs, and the fact that 
he had just probably saved their lives made him a very attractive partner, 
indeed.
        They headed over to a trailer normally used for makeup.  Once inside, 
they worked together to remove Ron's clothes.  Soon, all three were nude.  
Susan started kissing Ron, sucking his tongue into her mouth, and wrestling it 
with her own.  She rubbed his chest with her hands, and generally worked to 
get him excited.
        Janine dropped to her knees and worshiped his cock.  "Oooh.  Such a 
nice one."  She kissed the very tip, and used her tongue to lick his cock into 
her mouth.  Her technique was dazzling.  Ron was going into overload, but 
these two weren't about to let up.  Susan continued massaging his chest, and 
Janine began to fondle his balls, as she took his cock into her throat.  Ron's 
knees were starting to give, and so they worked their way slowly over to a 
couch, where he could sit down.  Susan sat down with him, and then he leaned 
over to suck on her tit.  She leaned her head back and moaned.  He reached 
down and massaged her clit, sometimes inserting a finger into her hole, and 
then gliding it along her clit as he withdrew.  She was shuddering with 
pleasure  as he changed the angle of his stroke each time.
        Janine was still working on his cock, and she had him close to coming. 
 "Oh, yeah, girl.  Suck it harder."  He kept fingering Susan, but his body was 
jerking too much to keep sucking on her tits.  Suddenly he felt the head of 
his cock swell, then he erupted into Janine's mouth.  She swallowed it all.  
When he was done, she sat back with a smile on her face.  Then Susan got down 
and started sucking again.  She wanted him hard, and hard now.  Ron finger 
fucked her pussy until he had his finger nice and lubed, then he poked it up 
her ass.  She stiffened for a moment, then moaned and relaxed.
        He motioned to Janine, who came and sat next to him.  He kissed her 
for awhile, while fondling her breast with his free hand.  Then, seeing he was 
hard enough, Susan ceased her sucking.  "Fuck me.  Do it now."
        Ron got up, and Susan got onto all fours on the couch.  Ron got behind 
her, and pressed in.  Susan let out a growl as he sank deep into her cunt.  
"YES!  Oh that feels so good.  fuck me hard!"
        Ron obliged the young lady, hammering into her hard and fast.
        "Yes, oh, yes, baby.  Fuck Susan, Fuck me!"
        Ron reached around and grabbed her tits.  Meanwhile, Janine had 
positioned her pussy in front of Susan's mouth, so that she could get some 
pleasure of her own.  Ron grabbed Susan's nipples, and twisted lightly.  Susan 
let out a squeal, and increased the pace.  She stopped eating out Janine long 
enough to say, "Yes, baby!  Oh, that feels so good!  Pinch my nipples, hard!  
Go for it!"
        Finally, she came.  Big Time.  Janine backed off, but Ron kept riding 
her for all he was worth.  She barely stayed on the couch.  She writhed and 
bucked and squirmed for minutes, until she was finally exhausted, and 
collapsed on the couch.  Ron was still hard, and really needed more.  He 
pulled out of Susan, and walked over to Janine, who seemed to be in just as 
much need as he was.  When he got there, she said only one thing.
        "Fuck me, baby."
        She wrapped her arms around him and french-kissed him in a manner 
designed to suck all the fillings out of his teeth.  If he hadn't already been 
hard, he would have been after that.  He moved her up against the wall, and 
reached down to position his cock.  Once he got it into her, she used the wall 
and her strength to wrap her legs around his waist.  Lucky for Ron she wasn't 
very big, or he might have dropped her.  They started a rhythm, slow at first, 
but building quickly to a feverish pace.  They stopped momentarily to drop to 
the floor, but then went back at it with the same fervor.  Janine was mewling 
and squealing with pleasure, and Ron was grunting out his enjoyment.  Finally, 
she peaked, and squeezed his cock for all it was worth with her pussy muscles. 
 She arched her back and screamed, and her pussy rippled up and down his cock. 
 This was all he could take, and he shot his load up into her, feeling her 
with his come.
        Ron pulled out, but neither Janine nor Susan would be moving anytime 
soon.  He gently covered both of them, re-organized a few of their thoughts, 
then left.  After ripping some information out of the other psionic's head in 
preparation for a visit from James, he released him and flew back to school to 
finish out his day.  He knew the other guy would take a couple days to recover 
from the kind of assault he'd just been through.  At least, that's what the 
manual said.

        When Ron arrived home, to his new house, Dr. Brown was there, to see 
Sandra and Dawn.  It was the first time he'd actually been around during one 
of her home visits.  When he walked in, Dawn was crying.  Ron went immediately 
to her side.
        "Dawn, what's wrong?"
        "It's the kids at school.  They were ragging on me for being pregnant. 
 Oh, Ron!  I know you want the baby, but, it's so hard for me!"  She wrapped 
her arms around him and cried into his shoulder.  He held her until she 
settled down, then laid her back in the chair.
        "I hope you're happy with yourself."  This was Dr. Brown, watching 
from the doorway.  "You've managed to mess up a perfectly normal family.  And 
what you did to your mother-"
        "I did NOT do that to my mother, you stupid cow!  My Father did.  Now, 
unless you have something important to say, shut the hell up."
        "Actually, I do.  Due to the... nature of the pregnancy, I ran genetic 
tests on the fetus.  He will have serious problems when he is born."  She 
continued, listing the problems and their effects.  Dawn was crying quietly 
now.  "My recommendation is an abortion."
        "Dr. Brown, would you leave the room, please?"  It wasn't really a 
question, and she left as ordered.  "Dawn?  I don't know what to do about the 
kids at school yet, but *this*, I can fix.  Okay?"  Dawn nodded.
        Ron placed his hands on her abdomen.  He imagined he was part of her, 
and then part of the baby.  He worked his way into the cells.  He could 
actually see the defects.  They showed up like red marks on his school papers. 
 Ron knew he'd be here all day redoing each of millions of cells.  So, he 
improvised.  He formed his extension into a genetic reprogrammer.  The device 
would find these bad spots, and redo them.  It would run "In the background" 
as programmers say.  It would use his brain power, but not run consciously.  
He would need to stay near her, but not actually in physical contact.  Not 
that he was going to leave her anytime soon, anyway.
        "You know I love you, don't you, Dawn?"  Again, she nodded.  She gave 
him a little smile.  Just then, Ron spotted Kumiko.  "Kumiko, come here 
please."
        Kumiko entered the room and walked over to Ron.  "Yes, Master?"
        "Get me a pillow, and a can of soda."  Kumiko went to retrieve the 
requested articles.  When she returned, Ron placed the pillow behind Dawn, for 
support.  He drank the soda himself.  It had been a long day, and looked to be 
only half over.  Kumiko remained by his side, not willing to leave unless he 
needed her to fetch something.  Dawn was actually dozing now, the tension 
having wore her out.
        "How was your day, Kumiko?"
        "Master, I changed your room the way you asked me to.  I have also 
attempted to help your mother rearrange the house more to your tastes.  She is 
still not well, but I think she is doing better."
        "Thank you.  You have done very well.  I'm sure I will be happy with 
the work you have done."  Kumiko smiled, and bowed, though a little less this 
time, since she was kneeling.
        "How are you feeling today?"
        "I am well, Master.  My bruises have all healed."
        "Yes, now you're as pretty as the first time I saw you.  Not that I 
thought you were any less pretty before."  Kumiko blushed.
        "Master, I..."
        "Kumiko, do you know what your name means?"
        "Well, Master,  I am very rusty with my Japanese.  Mother and Father 
did not speak it very much at home, because they wanted to become true 
Americans.  No, I do not know what my name means."
        "Kumiko means 'Girl Forever Beautiful'.  It is an accurate description 
of you.  You have always been beautiful to me, and you always will be."  
Kumiko blushed again, and averted her gaze.  Ron gently stroked her cheek, but 
then he felt something tug at his mind.  
        He focussed on it.  'Oh, it's just the processor, telling me that it's 
done.'  "Kumiko, would you go get the doctor, please?"  She left to do so, and 
Ron looked at Dawn.  'I'll find a way to handle the kids, Dawn.  At least we 
know *this* crisis is over."
        Dr. Brown came back in.  "Yes?  What is it?"
        "Did you double-check the results of your test?"
        "No, I did not."  She seemed offended at the concept.
        "I would like you to do so."
        "Listen here, young man, I don't take orders-"
        "Just DO IT."  He was getting irritated with the lady, then decided to 
get even.  Obviously she didn't like him.  He wasn't really interested in her, 
either, given her attitude.  He didn't want to mess with so visible a person, 
since it would be easily noticed.  But, he did have ways...
        As she was preparing the test, she stared at Ron.  All of a sudden, 
she felt a chill run down her spine.  Then, she felt her pussy twinge.  
'What's happening here?'  Her breasts began to tingle, and her body started to 
heat up.  'I am NOT excited by this, this pig.  Never!'  But the signs were 
unmistakable.  Her hands were trembling, and she had to steady them to perform 
the test.  By now, her love juices were flowing down her leg.
        "I'll... go get this analyzed."  She quickly left the room, not 
understanding either her body, or the smile on Ron's face.

        The doctor called back a few days later to say that the second test 
showed no defects at all.  She would need to run another test to be sure.  She 
was very uncomfortable, but she apologized for her error.
        Ron had enjoyed taking that call.  'The ass deserved what she got.'  
Now, Ron was in his last class for the day, Math Tutoring 101.  He had been 
helping lots of the kids today, they were dealing with common denominators, 
and they were all having trouble getting it.
        Near the end of class, one of the girls, Michelle, asked him, "Ron, I 
think I'm really gonna need special tutoring on this one.  Can you tutor me 
after school?"
        "Sure, Michelle.  Just have your Mom or Dad give me a call, after six 
or so."  
        When the bell rang,  Ms. Ford asked Ron if he could stay a few 
moments.  They waited for the rest of the class to file out, then she shut the 
door and locked it.
        "Ron, you've been doing a spectacular job with the kids.  It's really 
been great having you here.  I think a lot of these kids might be able to make 
it out of here this year, thanks to you."
        "Thank you, Ms. Ford.  It's a little early in the year to tell, 
though."
        "Well, I can see the beginnings of comprehension in them, Ron.  You've 
sparked some interest in this class."  She had moved over to her desk and sat 
on the corner, crossing her legs.  Today, she had worn a very nice skirt and 
blouse combination in pale yellow.  Her hair had been nicely done up, so that 
Ron had figured she had a date after school.  He hadn't known it was with him.
        "Well, Ms. Ford -"
        "Please, when we're alone, you can call me Linda."
        "Okay, Linda, thank you for the compliment.  I'm just glad I can 
help."  Which was the truth; Ron had always enjoyed helping people in need.
        "Good people like you usually say that giving is its own reward.  I 
think you deserve more than that."  With that, she got down off the desk and 
walked over to him.  She was just barely taller than him, since he had grown 
over the summer.  She pulled him to her, and kissed him on the lips.  He was 
pleasantly surprised, but not enough so not to return the kiss.  He placed his 
hands on her ass, and squeezed.  She was madly pulling at his shirt, undoing 
the buttons as fast as she could without breaking their kiss.  He had pulled 
her skirt up, and now had his hands insider her panties on her ass, kneading 
it in big circles.
        She got his shirt off, and started to work on her own.  He almost 
stopped what he was doing to help, but sensed she didn't want him to.  He was 
curious why she was doing this with him.  A little probing showed her 
insecurity around men, along with a driving need to make love.  'Well, who am 
I to object?'  So, he rolled with it.  She managed to get off her blouse and 
bra, and now he felt her bare tits press into his chest.  It was a wonderful 
feeling, her nipples were hot points burning into him.  She worked furiously 
at his jeans, getting them undone, and pushing them down.  She did the same 
with his briefs, so that his cock sprang up and out.  She ground her body 
against his, so that his cock was trapped between them.  He unsnapped her 
skirt, and it fell off, leaving only her panties.  These, as was his custom, 
were ripped off her body.  Now they were naked, and still kissing madly.  They 
hobbled over to her desk, where he laid her down.  She had cleared it off 
during class time, probably for this eventuality.  He poised his cock at her 
opening.
        She broke the kiss long enough to say, "Do it, Ron.  Make me scream 
with wild passion.  Make my eyes spin.  Fuck me."  Ron was happy to oblige.  
He plunged into her hole with all the energy of a buck in rut.  He massaged 
her breasts, twisting her nipples and pinching them lightly.  She writhed 
under him, wrapping her legs around his back in order to pull him deeper into 
her.
        Ron broke the kiss, so he could fuck harder.  She kept up a steady 
stream of encouragement.  "Yes, Ron, honey.  Fuck me harder!  Yes, oh 
yes...God that's so good.....Oh, Yes, YES, YES!... Do it to me... make me 
cum... Make your teacher CUMMMMMM!"  Her body was wracked with spasms.  She 
grunted once, twice, and then went completely rigid.  Her pussy was milking 
his cock, and finally it was just too much.  He spurted his come deep into her 
womb, and that sent her off on a whole new series of spasms.  She writhed 
around under him, until she finally came down from her high.  She was panting 
now, completely out of breath.  She smiled up at him.
        "Oh, God, Ron!  I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself anymore.  I 
haven't had sex in so long, and you were just so helpful, so mature...."  She 
didn't have the words.
        "Glad I could help, Linda.  Anytime you need my 'help', you just let 
me know."  He smiled down at her, in a way that let her know it was "okay".
        "We'll have to keep this our secret."  She said.
        "No problem.  I wouldn't want to spoil a good thing."
        "See you tomorrow, then?"  She had gently pushed him off her, and was 
sitting up now.
        "Yes, I'll be here."  Ron got dressed, and left.

        A week or so later, Ron encountered Dawn during a lunch break.  She 
was being taunted by other girls about her pregnancy.
        "Everyone knows only easy girls get knocked up."
        "Who's the pop?  Or don't you know?"  And comments of that sort.  It 
was taking its' toll on Dawn, and Ron had just about all he could take of that 
crap.  He strolled over to his sister and gave her a hug.
        "Is this really necessary, girls?"
        "Oh, look, it's little brother to the rescue."
        That was it.  The last straw.  He knew these girls for what they were: 
vindictive spiteful little tramps who didn't deserve to walk the earth with 
his sister.  He drew them in a little closer with a look, and whispered to 
them.  "Girls, you're messing with my sister.  Unless you want to end up 
looking like Dale Jessup, I'd advise you to stop it, right now.  My sister is 
off limits, forbidden territory.  Spread the word.  If I have to deal with 
this problem, somebody is going to get hurt."  His tone of voice, and the 
matter-of-fact expression on his face said volumes.  He was not kidding, nor 
was he bluffing.  They believed not only that he 'could', but that he 'would' 
hurt anyone who crossed him.
        "Sure, Ron, sure."  They all echoed the sentiment, and quickly moved 
off.  Ron turned to his sister, who was looking at him.
        "What did you tell them?"  She wanted to know.
        "I told them not to mess with you.  That, if they did, they would have 
to deal with me, and that would be unpleasant for them.  You're my sister, 
Dawn.  I love you, and I'll always protect you.  Promise."  They hugged, and 
he went on his way after making sure she was okay.  Another crisis, handled 
peacefully.  Fear was an effective weapon.  He had absolutely no interest in 
those girls at all.  They were attractive, sure, but they were also all 
airheads.  He wasn't even sure they had the capability for rational thought.  
Anyway, it was time for class.

        When he got home that night, there was a message on the machine.  "Hi, 
this is Mrs. Donalli, Michelle's mother.  I'm calling for Ron Chaffey.  If he 
could call me back when it is convenient, I'd appreciate it..." and she gave a 
number.  Ron picked up the phone and dialed.
        "Hello, Jasper and Jasper publishing."
        "Yes, I'm returning a call from Mrs. Donalli."  Ron had learned that 
no one took kids seriously.  He figured if he was "returning a call", they 
might not ignore him.  It worked.
        "May I ask who is calling?"
        "Ron Chaffey."
        "One moment, Mr. Chaffey."  '*Mister*.  Wow.'
        A moment later:  "Ronald?"
        "Please call me Ron, ma'am.  You are Michelle's mother?"
        "Yes.  She insisted I call you and arrange for tutoring.  She says you 
have been very helpful in class, but that you cannot devote enough time to her 
individually."
        "Yes, ma'am.  I regret that, but I do have 20 kids to deal with in 
class."
        "Well, some personal tutoring should be just the thing, then.  How 
much do you charge?"
        "My normal fee is $10 an hour.  Usually, I only take students for an 
hour at a time.  However, I have decided on a new structure this year, to see 
how it will work.  I'm charging $15 for a two hour session."
        "That sounds just fine.  One more thing: do you work at our house, or 
yours?"
        "Mine, ma'am.  It allows me to set up a better study atmosphere.  
Plus, it removes familiar distractions."
        "That makes good sense.  Very well, then.  When can you start?"
        "Well, tomorrow is Wednesday.  That's a good night for me, if it's 
alright with you.  Say, 7 o'clock?"
        "Yes, that will work nicely."
        Ron gave her the address, and said goodbye.  He would need to choose a 
good study room, and get it ready.  Michelle was hot, and he knew he was going 
to have some fun.

        The following day in school, he met up with a little trouble.  Well, 
maybe little isn't the right word, since it consisted of roughly a quarter of 
the football team.
        "Those were our girls you insulted yesterday."
        "Insulted?  I didn't insult anyone, guys.  I told them to leave my 
sister alone."
        "No one tells my girl what to do."
        "Just what are you going to do about it, Biff?"  Biff wasn't his name, 
but he looked like a Biff.
        On the other hand, the guy didn't like being called Biff.  He swung on 
Ron, who had already erected a 'kinetic shield.  His hand appeared to hit Ron, 
when actually it stopped about half an inch short.  The guy must have thought 
he hit a brick wall, or a sheet of iron.  He recoiled, holding his hand.  It 
was very possible he had several broken bones.
        "Don't mess with me, guys, or someone's going to the hospital, and it 
won't be me.  You know what happened to Dale Jessup, right?"  He let the 
implication that it was his doing just kind of hang there.
        One of the other players stepped up, but before he could do anything, 
Ron posed a palm-strike to the chin.  It looked good, Ron positioned his 
extension perfectly.  The player landed about eight feet away.  "Are y'all 
sure you want to continue this?  Or should we stop now?"  Ron was in total 
control.  Normals, he realized, were a piece of cake.  It was psionics he had 
to watch for.
        By now, the players had enough.  They left in a hurry, the leader 
still holding his hand.  'Well, at least he's not our quarterback.'
        Math Tutoring class was interesting to say the least.  He was getting 
strange looks from Michelle *and* Ms. Ford.  He understood the look from 
Linda, but he wasn't sure what Michelle was up to.  He'd find out soon enough.
        When class ended, he hung back just a bit, so he was the last student 
to leave the room.  Ms. Ford was standing by the door, and, as he was about to 
leave, she grabbed, him, embraced him, and gave him a deep, blood-warming 
kiss.  "That was for making my life easier.  Thanks, Ron.  See you tomorrow."  
Somehow, he managed not to weave down the hallway after that.

        It seemed as if 7:00 would never come.  He had been ready for the past 
half-hour.  At five minutes of seven, she arrived.  Her mother brought her up 
the walk, and they rang the bell.  Ron had banished the rest of the household 
to non-visible rooms in the house, essentially the upstairs.  He tried not to 
run to the door.
        "Hello, Mrs. Donalli, Michelle.  Please, come in."
        They entered a large foyer.  Mrs. Donalli was fairly impressed with 
the house.  "What does your mother do, again?"
        "Well, my mother is an executive with a small company.  Most of the 
family income is generated by me."
        "Tutoring pays this well?"  She was joking, of course.
        "No, ma'am.  I tutor because I enjoy it.  I have a part time job 
consulting for a national organization on computer matters, and some other 
items."  Which was, essentially true.  CAMP had told him to keep up with his 
computer programming.  The 'other matters' of course, covered a multitude of 
sins.
        "I see.  Well, is your mother home?  I would feel better if an adult 
were around."
        Ron had expected this.  His mother was standing discreetly in a 
doorway.  "Mom?"  She walked over.  "Mrs. Donalli, this is my mother, Sandra 
Chaffey.  Mom, this is Mrs. Donalli, Michelle's mother."
        "How are you?"
        "I'm fine.  I just wanted to know that their was supervision in the 
house."  Michelle looked both embarrassed and impatient.  He thought he 
understood both of those.  He was wrong.
        "Well, I'll be here pretty much all the time.  Besides, you can trust 
Ron.  Your daughter is in good hands."
        The adults yakked for a couple more minutes, then Mrs. Donalli left.  
Ron showed Michelle into the study room, and his mother went back upstairs.
        "Sorry about my Mom.  She's a little over-protective."
        "No problem.  So, shall we get down to work?"
        "Yes, let's"  Just then, Ron felt a tug at his mind.  He grabbed it, 
deciphered it, and then almost blew it.  He almost smiled, but that would not 
have been right.  For this command had come from Michelle.  'A psionic!  But 
she's not on the list.  Let's run with this, and see where it takes me.'  Ron 
followed along.  Her suggestions weren't actually working, but since he could 
read them, he followed them.  He kept his face neutral, and started removing 
articles of clothing.  She had him down to his underwear, and still he had not 
revealed himself.  Finally, she wanted him to remove those, but she was still 
fully clothed.  He figured it was time to get even.  Not maliciously, but 
forcefully even so, he grabbed control of her mind.
        She almost panicked.  'What's happening to me?  Why can't I move?  Why 
can't I scream?  I don't understand!!!'  By the time she'd managed those 
thoughts, he already had her down to her underwear, using 'kinesis.  He 
decided to let her off the hook now.
        "Not much fun when the target fights back, is it?"  He was smiling 
cheerily, not viciously.  She grinned, then looked down and covered her mouth 
with her hand.  She wasn't sure what she was supposed to say now.
        "You're not on my list."  Ron still didn't know why that was.  "Are 
you new to the area?"
        "Yes.  We moved in just before school started."  She didn't know what 
'list' he was talking about, but he seemed to be calm about the whole thing.
        "Okay, that would explain it.  So, how long have you known?"
        "Known what?"
        "About your ability."
        "A couple of years.  It's just starting to get to where I can make 
people do things, though.  At first, it was just moving objects, ya know?  And 
I hid that from people, 'cause I didn't want them to think I was weird.  And 
then, I started to realize that people would do what I asked them to, without 
arguing like they used to."
        "And I was to be your experiment for.... what?"
        "I wanted to know if it would work outside the family."  She was 
embarrassed at being caught, but also interested in what he might be able to 
tell her.
        "Well, it would have, if you hadn't been dealing with another psionic. 
 Damn, I am *not* cleared for recruitment.  Hell, I don't even know if you're 
good enough yet."  Ron was talking to himself, and Michelle didn't understand 
a word of it.
        "Huh?"
        "Oh!  Don't worry, I was thinking out loud.  Bad habit of mine.  
Anyway, what's the biggest object you've ever moved?"
        "My bed.  It's a waterbed, if that's important."
        'Heavy.  She can do it.'  "Ever tried to fly?"
        "What?"  She didn't think she'd heard him right.
        "Fly.  You know, move yourself.  Like this."  Suddenly he was floating 
in mid-air, doing little aerobatics.  Michelle struggled with it a bit, and 
managed to lift herself off the ground about a foot.
        "Great!  See, it's not that hard.  Really pretty cool.  Say, just what 
were you going to do to me tonight?"  Ron tried to sound stern, but his smile 
gave him away.
        "Well.... I was gonna, you know, make you...."  She couldn't say it, 
so she whispered it in his ear.  Girls were so funny about that.  He was the 
only one in the room, and still she wouldn't say it out loud.  "I mean, when I 
first saw you in class, I thought I wanted to get to know you better, and the 
tutoring thing was just a really good opportunity, if I could get rid of your 
mother..."
        "Mom has orders not to come downstairs until you leave."
        "Well, yeah, but I didn't know that, did I?"  She smiled.  Apparently, 
her model for flying affected a zero-g room, because her breasts were actually 
floating.  Michelle was beautiful.  She had curly auburn hair and brown eyes.  
Her face was a nice round shape, with an innocent expression.  Her breasts 
looked just right on her frame, and her legs continued from here to eternity.  
She was about his height, maybe just a fraction shorter.  Not that it matters 
when both of you are floating three feet off the floor.
        "So, you wanted to screw me, huh?"  She just blushed and nodded.  
"Well, no reason to stop now, is there?"  She just stared at him.  He took 
things in hand, as he removed her last garments, and his own.  He brought them 
both down to earth.  "Wait here a second."  Ron went over to the couch and 
pulled a soft down bed from under it.  The bed was about a double-bed size, 
covered with fake fur.  It was meant as something to, well, to "do" things on. 
 He motioned her over to him, as he was sitting on the mat.  She stood over 
him, a little unsure of herself.
        "Is this your first time?"
        "No, but my first time went by in sort of a blur, and I wasn't really 
given much of a choice."
        "Well, we can stop now, if you'd like."  She shook her head, and took 
his offered hand.  He pulled her to him, but not down.  His eyes were now at 
pussy-level, and he enjoyed what he saw.  He reached out and softly kissed her 
on her mound, right above where her clit was.  She purred softly, and rested 
her hands on his shoulders.  As he pulled back, he saw her tits hanging down 
before him, begging for suction.  He obeyed the call, and took one into his 
mouth.  He tongued the nipple until it was hard, and sucked the tit until she 
moaned.  Then he moved over to the other one, and repeated the process.  When 
he let go, she sank down beside him on the cushion.  He kissed her for the 
first time on the lips.  If her first time had been ugly for her, he wanted 
this to be better.  He was soft, coaxing.
        For her part, Michelle was really getting into it.  Her first time had 
been at the hands of a former boyfriend who basically didn't know what "no" 
meant.  She hadn't put up much of a struggle, because she wasn't even sure she 
meant no.  Which was also why she never told anyone about it.  Ron, on the 
other hand, was taking it nice and easy.  'This is the way it's supposed to 
be.'  She kissed him back, progressing from soft to urgent.  She pushed him 
back onto the cushion, and continued kissing him, while she rubbed his chest.  
Ron didn't resist: he liked it when the women took the lead sometimes.  He 
figured she needed to do this her way, to make it good for her.
        Michelle moved her kisses down to his chest.  She kissed each nipple, 
nipping lightly at them with her teeth.  She continued down, across his 
stomach, until she reached the head of his cock.  Here, she hesitated.  This 
was something she had been told about, and read about, but hadn't actually 
done.  She thought it was kind of yucky, but she wanted to give Ron a present 
for being nice to her.  She lightly kissed the tip of his cock.  Some clear 
liquid stuck to her lips.  She licked her lip and tasted it.  Not great, but 
it didn't make her sick.  She continued kissing the head of his cock, noticing 
that occasionally it jerked.  She moved her kisses down the shaft and back up, 
down and up.  Finally, she sucked the head of his cock into her mouth.  She 
wasn't sure of exactly what to do, but then she started receiving images.  Not 
orders, more like instructions.  She glanced sideways at Ron, and he just 
smiled back.
        She licked around the head of his cock, and then started pulling more 
of him in.  She got about halfway or so before he hit the back of her throat.  
Then she started a rhythm.  She held the base of his cock with her hand, and 
sucked him faster and faster.  His groans grew louder and louder.  Suddenly, 
she heard in her head, 'I'm gonna cum!'  She decided to swallow, to see what 
it was like.  She kept sucking until, suddenly, loads of white semen poured 
into her mouth.  The taste was salty, but, she found to her surprise, she 
liked it.  She swallowed every bit of it, and licked around the head of his 
cock to make sure she got it all.  She looked up at Ron, and smiled.  "Did I 
do good?"
        "Oh, hell yes!  And I think I should return the favor.  Lie down."  
She wasn't sure what he had in mind, but she lay down next to him.  He gently 
spread her legs, and maneuvered himself into place.  Then he bent in to lick 
her slit.  Up and down, in slow, tortuous strokes.  She was shuddering with 
each pass, and purring quietly from deep in her throat.
        Ron flicked across her clit with his tongue.  Her back arched, and she 
grunted.  'Not the typical reaction, hmmm.'  He did it again, and she grunted 
again.  'Must be more sensitive than most.'  Ron took great advantage of this. 
 He took her clit into his mouth and started sucking on it, as he whipped it 
back and forth with his tongue.  Ron had Michelle bucking wildly in just a few 
moments.
        "Oh, shit, yes!  Yes, Ron.  Oh, damn!  I want you, Ron, I want you 
bad!  Put it inside me Ron, now, do it now!"
        He was tempted, but he knew women, unlike men, can actually get *more* 
aroused from an orgasm.  He continued his torture, occasionally letting up to 
lick up and down her slit again, but always returning to her clit.  Finally 
she gave in, and came in a horrendous, screaming climax.  Her body went stiff, 
back arched, arms and legs splayed.  She stayed that way for over a minute.
        When she came down, she looked at Ron with a look of pure, wanton 
lust.  "Fuck me."  This command would brook no argument, not that Ron was 
giving one.  He spread her legs to allow him access, and pressed himself into 
her.  Ron was hot enough that he had trouble controlling his pace, but he 
wanted her to enjoy this as long as he could make it last.  He leaned in and 
kissed her again.  This time, their tongues met, and fought a fierce battle, 
eventually declaring a draw, but not giving in.  Ron pumped into her, 
alternating fast, hard thrusts with long, slow, languorous strokes, bringing 
her right to the edge, then backing off again.  She started to plead with him.
        "Come on, baby.  Bring me off.  You can do it,  Pump me harder! 
Faster! Faster!"  Finally, Ron felt the urge building in him, so he caved in 
to her wishes.  He stroked harder, faster, deeper with each thrust.  
Ultimately, he gave in first.  With a grunt and a sigh, he came, pouring his 
juice into her.  At the first spurt, she came in a mind-shattering, 
ear-splitting, spine-tingling orgasm that threatened to shatter windows.  They 
both were out of their senses for a moment.
        When they both came down, they were lying side by side on the cushion. 
 Michelle rolled onto her side to look at Ron.  "Thank you.  Thank you for 
making at least the second time, special."  She leaned down and gave him a 
soft, slow kiss.  When she broke off, Ron looked at the time.
        "Um, I think we should get dressed now."
        "Why?"
        "Well, your Mom's gonna be here in about a half hour, and we haven't 
even opened the books yet."
        They spent the next half-hour trying to focus on the books.  It was 
difficult, since they had trouble keeping their hands off each other.

        It was a couple weeks later, when Mike showed up.
        "Ron, I believe you know Michelle here."  She grinned at him coyly.
        "Oh, yes.  We've been formally introduced, and not-so-formally."
        Mike got all sorts of information from that.  "I see.  Well, I'm glad 
you two get along, because you're going to have to pay her a lot of attention. 
 Like we did with you, we don't want to interrupt her schooling, so she can't 
come to CAMP until next summer.  This is a really bad time for us all, because 
we can't do things we need to do without becoming obvious.  Anyway, she says 
she's okay with you being her guide.  Take care, though.  Don't show her stuff 
she's not ready for."
        "No problem, Mike.  Hey, I handled my other project pretty well, 
didn't I?"  Mike had to admit that, yes, Ron had done damned well on that one. 
 Mike shook hands with both of them, and left for his car.  Michelle was 
carrying some sheets of paper.
        "What're those?"
        "Oh.  Mike said to give you these.  They're instructions for what you 
can and can't tell me."
        "Okay.  Let me see them."  She handed them over.  "Come on in, we've 
got some things to talk about."
        "My Mom thinks I'm on a sleepover with girlfriends.  She won't expect 
me back until late Sunday."
        "Good.  Then we have a busy weekend ahead...."

Chapter 3:  New Students, New Games, New Troubles

        Life fell into a somewhat normal pattern for the next few months.  
Being in the new house finally started to feel normal.  'At least,' Ron 
thought, 'Now I can go swimming whenever I like.'
        Michelle was progressing nicely.  She was developing slower than Ron 
had, but that was to be expected, or so James and Mike had both told him.  She 
was still experimenting on her family, with the odd outing on a weekend with 
Ron.  She'd mastered her defenses, which was good.  Ron began wondering if it 
might not be a good idea to recommend to CAMP that their field reps do this 
kind of initial training as a matter of course.  When she went to CAMP, 
Michelle would be much better prepared than he had been.
        Of course, Michelle had only been a passing love interest.  While he 
and she had gotten together a couple of times since their initial encounter, 
he was trying to encourage her to establish relationships with "normal" 
people.  Besides, he wasn't ready for a "normal" relationship just now.  He 
was having too much fun being the boss.

        At school, things fell into a pattern, also.  A typical day saw him 
gliding through his subjects, never really paying attention, but absorbing the 
information even so.  Every so often, Linda would wish for some 
"extracurricular activity", which he was happy to provide.  He had already 
added her to his "roving follower" collection: not making any serious changes, 
just enough to protect her from other psionics.  Why mess with a good thing?
        Today, however, marked the return of trouble.  Apparently, over time, 
the football team had grown less afraid of him.  Today, they wanted revenge.  
They weren't so cocky, however, that they didn't bring nearly the entire team. 
 This time, though, they had made a rather major error.  They had taken 
prisoners.
        Ron was confronted as he walked home from school.  In the midst of the 
crowd, he saw both his sister, and Michelle.  Apparently, she was too 
flustered to perform any useful tactics.
        "You may have beat us once, Chaffey, but now we're gonna turn you into 
mush.  And then, we're gonna have some fun with your chickeys."  This was 
Biff.
        Ron didn't back up, he didn't flinch, he just stared.  "I'm going to 
give you guys only one chance at this.  Let them both go, and leave me alone, 
or you're going to *wish* you ended up like Dale Jessup."  The crowd laughed 
at that.
        "Take your best shot, shithead."  Said one of the boys in the back.  
The group pressed in.
        "Time's up."  And with that, they heard a heavy 'snap!', and one of 
the boys in back screamed in agony as he fell to the ground.
        "My knees!  My knees!  Oh, God!  It hurts!  My knees!"  The group 
turned around as Ron spoke again, his voice had turned to ice.
        "Who wants to be next?"  Just then another one fell to the ground, 
holding his stomach in pain.  "He'll need a doctor soon.  He has 
appendicitis."  Then another fell backward, as if struck by a 2x4.  "He has 
cracked ribs, and if he moves too much, maybe a punctured lung."  There wasn't 
a cloud in the sky, but for these kids, the day had grown very dark, indeed.  
"I told you not to mess with me.  I warned you to leave my sister alone.  You 
didn't want to listen.  You thought I was bluffing.  Learn something here:  I 
don't bluff, I gave you a *warning*.  And this is the last one you're going to 
get.  Mess with me, my family, or any of my friends again, and somebody will 
be scooping your brains up off the sidewalk after they've leaked out your 
nose."  He thought this a little overdone, but a couple of the kids went pale, 
which was what he was hoping for.  His eyes bored in on Biff.  Biff was 
scared.  Biff was scared shitless.  But not pissless, as Ron was about to 
prove.  "I know you think I'm bullshit, Biff, so here's something to remember 
me by."  And then a stain spread across the front of Biff's jeans, and started 
running down one leg.  Biff looked down, and realized what was happening, and 
worse, that he couldn't stop it.
        "You little shit!  I'm gonna get you!"
        "Biff, if you even take one step forward, you will be the first to 
die.  Who do you think would believe you, or anyone here?  'That kid broke our 
legs and made Biff's brains fly out his nose!'  Who's gonna buy that?  Not to 
mention, you'll never be able to tell anyone, anyway."  A quick command made 
sure.  "Don't mess with me.  You aren't even in the same game.  If you can't 
play with the big boys, get off the field."  With that, Ron motioned Dawn and 
Michelle to him.  Both ran over and gave him a big hug.
        "I'm sorry, Ron, I just couldn't-"
        "Thank you, oh thank you little brother."
        "It's okay now, girls.  Let's go home.  Can we walk you home, 
Michelle?"

        The event passed, and the whole school knew something was up.  
Whenever Ron entered a room, the football players would step as far aside as 
they could to get away from him.  Word was out: stay away from Ron if you're 
gonna cause trouble.
        'Just as planned.  Now, I can worry about more important things, like 
Lisa Fiori over there.'  Lisa Fiori was a cheerleader.  She'd made fun of Ron 
in junior high.  He was sitting in the gym, watching the cheerleaders 
practice.  It was after school, but he'd had a science project to finish after 
Tutoring class, and now it was raining, and he didn't want to get wet.  So, he 
decided to watch the cheerleaders until it stopped raining.
        He focussed in on Lisa as they tumbled around.  She wasn't your 
typical cheerleader, she was actually on the pudgy side.  Not fat, but not as 
skinny as the other girls.  Her body was just generally bigger all around.  
Bone structure, breasts, the whole lot.  And her appearance was turning Ron on 
no end.  She had short black hair, and green eyes that twinkled most of the 
time, like she was always telling herself a joke.  She was short, about 5' 
even, and had a nice overall appearance.  She was in shape, so Ron figured her 
pudginess might be glandular or metabolic.  It actually made her look pretty 
cute, watching her big tits bounce around in her cheerleader outfit.
        Practice finished up, but it was still raining.  Ron decided to have a 
little fun.  He turned himself invisible (he'd learned how to do that 
"locally", meaning anywhere he went, he was invisible.  It wasn't that they 
*weren't* seeing him now, it was that they *couldn't* see him.  He was 
actually bending light around his body.  It was a neat trick that had actually 
taken two weeks to perfect.  He couldn't even see himself if he looked in a 
mirror.).  Then he headed into the locker room after the girls.
        This has to be every boy's fantasy, watching cheerleaders undress and 
shower.  All sorts of nude girl flesh walking about, getting soaped up, and 
steamed.  Ron was hard as iron watching all these girls.  He decided he wanted 
more.
        Ron formed an "everything-is-normal-here" command, and spread it over 
the room, then reappeared into visibility.  The girls glanced his way, but 
didn't scream or anything, so the command was working.  He had one girl, whose 
name was Darla, come over and jack him off.  She wrapped her soft hand around 
his cock and gently rubbed up and down.  Ron reached around and fondled her 
tit.  He was really enjoying this, but he wanted more.  He had another girl, 
named Mandy, start to suck his cock, while Darla kept jacking up and down.  
Then he had a nice black girl, Shauna, french-kiss him.  He was starting to 
get overstimulated, but he was having a lot of fun.  Finally, he came in 
Mandy's mouth, and he had her swallow it all.  Just then, he spotted Lisa.  
She was coming out of the shower, naked and wet.  'God, what a sight!'  Her 
breasts must have been at least a C cup, which is pretty big on a 14 year old. 
 She didn't have rolls of fat, just sort of a layer of it all over her body, 
that made her entire figure smooth and curvy.  He had her come over to him and 
give him a deep kiss.  He reached over and kneaded her tits.  They were soft, 
almost spongy.  After all this attention, he needed a little relief.  He had 
Lisa bend over and put her hands on the bench.  This placed her ass in the air 
very invitingly.  Ron commanded her to suck off Shauna, who had been so nice 
to him.  Then, he intruded into her pussy with his cock.  He moved slowly, 
while he enjoyed the sights.  Shauna was very pretty, about 5'2" tall, with 
light brown skin, and dark eyes.  Her full lips were in an almost pout most of 
the time.  Her breasts were small, but she had gorgeous nipples, that stood 
proud from her chest.  He reached over and lightly twisted those nipples, 
eliciting a moan from the girl.
        He increased his pace into Lisa, while Lisa increased her pace on 
Shauna.  Shauna, in turn, leaned over to kiss Ron.  He tongue-wrestled with 
her for a few moments, until he felt the familiar tingle in his balls.  He 
broke off the kiss, and gave her nipples one last twist.  He pumped hard into 
Lisa, and came hard, shooting his wad into her.
        Unusually, she had not come.  Neither had Shauna.  He'd given them no 
real instructions to, so they had acted normally.  They were both quite 
aroused, however.  Ron gave them orders to go back in the shower, and not to 
come out until they had given each other at least two orgasms apiece.  They 
headed off with a gleam in their eyes, and Ron got dressed.  He removed 
himself from the locker room, then removed his commands.  The rain had finally 
stopped, and Ron went home.

        The family had settled out any real differences among themselves, and 
Ron now had a wonderful family of eight, including himself.  There were, of 
course, the "roving followers"; Mrs. Hayes, Ms. Ford, the businessmen's wives, 
and others he had used only once, or maybe twice, but could use again at a 
moment's notice.
        Christmas was approaching, and Ron was trying to decide what to get 
everyone.  He had oodles of income, so he knew he could get them really nice 
stuff.  He had to go to the library for some school research, but decided to 
go shopping afterwards.
        While at the library, Ron came across a rather unusual book.  Titled 
"Channeling the Mind", it seemed to be a manual of sorts.  Ron sat down to 
read it.  It was very dusty, as it looked ancient.  About halfway through the 
book, something finally hit Ron, and he took a closer look at the book.  'Hey! 
 This thing doesn't have a Dewey Decimal Tag on it!  And there's no little 
metal thing to make the detector go off!  This book doesn't belong to the 
library!'  He leafed through it, looking for identifying marks, but found 
none.  Figuring he'd worry about it later, he continued reading.  He was 
skimming, really, until he came to a particular section, titled, "Transference 
of Mental Energy through the Mental Lens"  A big title for such a short 
chapter.  It was mainly a description of a gemstone, cut in a specific manner, 
set in a particular way, and used by a qualified professional.  Ron stuck the 
book in his bag, and grabbed the books he needed for his report.  It was time 
for some shopping.

        Ron took a taxi to the mall.  He wandered through stores, looking for 
presents.  He had lots of small things, wrapped by the store, delivered to the 
house.  He was looking for one big item for each lady.
        For his Mom, he bought a brand new notebook computer, with all the 
bells and whistles.  She'd been complaining about her old one for a while now. 
 This was a brand new 786 300Mhz with 4Gig drive, and the best in active 
matrix color technology.  He figured she'd love it.
        For Dawn, along with lots of baby stuff and maternity clothes, he 
stopped in at the car dealership in the mall.  She was of driving age now, and 
he figured it was time she drove herself (and him) wherever they needed to go.
        Jess and Megan were very difficult.  As his slaves, they really wanted 
nothing for Christmas.  He had bought them each lots of new lingerie he 
couldn't wait to see them in.  He decided his gift to each of them would have 
to be the fulfillment of a wish of theirs.  'Might be difficult on Megan's 
part; I rewrote her whole psyche.'  But, he figured she'd seen and heard 
enough stuff since then, that she would come up with something.
        Nikki and Tammy had both been hounding Mom about a puppy lately.  Ron 
stopped in the pet shop, and looked at the dogs.  He had them set two aside 
for him, a black lab and a german shepherd.  He made arrangements to get them 
delivered, and moved on to his hardest task.
        Kumiko.  'What do I get Kumiko?'  For reasons he still couldn't 
explain, he vitally needed her to be happy with her present.  He spent three 
hours looking up and down the mall before finding the right gift.  That done, 
he had only one store left to visit.

        "Hello, and welcome to Zales.  Can I help you, young man?"  The clerk 
was proper, as she should be, but a little condescending.  As was normal, she 
didn't figure he had much money to spend.
        "Yes, ma'am.  Is there a master jeweler here I can speak with?  I need 
to have several necklaces made."
        Her attitude changed at that, she was quite taken aback.  "Can you 
afford that sort of thing, son?"
        "Oh, don't worry about me, ma'am.  I've already spent about $40,000 
today.  A little more won't kill me."  He smiled at her, and she hurried off 
to get the jeweler.
        "Can I help you, sir?"  He was an elderly man, but not so old that he 
looked incompetent.
        "Yes sir.  I'd like to have some necklaces made, to rather precise 
specifications.  I was wondering how long it would take...."

        Ron got home around eight o'clock.  It was Friday, so he had no 
students.  He'd missed dinner, but that was okay, since he'd eaten at the 
mall.  He'd never bothered to fiddle with the family's schedule about eating 
whenever the majority got hungry.  It just didn't bug him that much.  Ron 
headed upstairs to his room and changed into comfortable clothes.  He stepped 
into his mother's room to see how she was doing.  He found Kumiko already 
there.
        "Hi, Mom.  Hey, Kumiko."  They both nodded acknowledgement.  "Anything 
happening?"
        "Ron, I think you should go see Dawn.  She seemed a little depressed 
when she came home, but she doesn't want to talk to us about it."
        "Alright.  Anything wrong in here?"
        "No, just girltalk."  'Probably plotting how to get me to rub their 
backs tonight.'  He smiled to himself until he thought about Dawn.  'It's been 
a rough few months for her.  I haven't been paying her enough attention 
lately.  I hope she'll be okay.'
        Ron walked to her door and knocked.
        "Who is it?"
        "Dawn?  It's me."  A slight pause followed, then the door opened.  Ron 
walked into the room, and Dawn closed the door.  Then she turned around, took 
a step to him, put her arms around him, and started sobbing into his shoulder.
        This startled Ron a bit, but he knew she was on an emotional roller 
coaster due to the pregnancy.
        "What's wrong, Dawn?"
        "Ron, I'm.... I'm UGLY!  I'm fat, and disfigured, and...and..."  She 
trailed off, sobbing.  Ron maneuvered her over to the bed, and got her to sit 
down.
        "Sis, you're not ugly.  I think you're one of the most beautiful girls 
in the world."  He wasn't lying, or even exaggerating slightly.  he still had 
a picture of her in his mind from the night of her Sophomore Hop, in her white 
dress.
        "Oh yeah?  Then how come you haven't touched me in over a month!"  She 
replied accusingly.
        "I'm sorry, Dawn.  I hadn't realized it'd been that long.  I wasn't 
avoiding you, really I wasn't.  I was trying to let you alone, because of the 
baby.  I didn't want you to hurt yourself or something."
        Dawn had stopped sobbing, and was just sniffling now.  She knew her 
brother wasn't lying to her.  He had never lied to her, even before....  She 
was just so confused about everything.
        "Really?  You mean it?"
        "Absolutely.  I think you're the best sister a guy could hope for, and 
you're sweet, and pretty, and..."  His words were cut off when she kissed him. 
 It was soft, and gentle, like he remembered she could be.
        They laid down on the bed and kissed for what seemed like hours.  Ron 
wrapped his arms around his sister and cradled her gently against him.  He was 
almost as tall as her now, since she hadn't grown much over the past few 
months.  Ron had just finished a serious growth spurt, with a few mental 
pushes.  Now he stood 5'5" tall, and was quite fit.


        "Ron?"
        "Yeah?"
        "Will you make love to me?  Tonight?"  He could see the pleading in 
her eyes.
        "Anything you want, Sis."  He gingerly removed her dress, to find that 
she still didn't wear anything under it.  Now, she removed his clothes, though 
not quite as gently as he had hers.  Soon, she had him down to nothing at all, 
and his cock was standing proud.  He was very gently massaging her breasts, 
since they would sometimes be sore.  She moaned softly, and sank into his 
touch.
        She straddled his waist.  Guiding his cock with one hand, she sank 
herself slowly down onto him.  She hummed softly as his prick tunneled in.  
When she reached bottom, she rested for a few moments.  Ron took advantage of 
this, and stretched his reach to her shoulders.  He massaged away some of the 
tension there, and caressed her neck.  Like everything else on her, Dawn's 
neck was a source of beauty to Ron.  It gracefully curved into her shoulders, 
and was just the right length.  He stroked her neck lightly, and then moved 
back down to her breasts.
        Now, Dawn began her rhythm.  In a slow, sensual movement, she rose and 
fell.  She was enjoying this.  For the first time in weeks, she felt like a 
woman, rather than a bloated bag of water.  Her brother made her feel wanted, 
loved, special.  She continued her strokes, fondling Ron's chest as she went.  
She wanted to give to him, be there for him.  As much as she had originally 
resisted the situation, she wouldn't want to have changed this for the world 
now.
        Smoothly, gently, they continued to make love.  As Dawn tired, her 
legs began to cramp.  Then Ron remembered a position he and Kumiko had used 
from time to time.  He had her lie on her side, and he lay behind her.  He 
entered her from behind.
        Again, the pace was slow, calm, sensual.  They both wanted it to last, 
and each wanted the other to get the maximum amount of enjoyment.  Ron nuzzled 
her neck, and placed wet kisses there, and up to her ear.  He nibbled lightly 
on her ear, which made her giggle.  This night was like many nights before the 
pregnancy, and Dawn was in heaven.
        Ron was also in heaven, but mainly because he realized how sexy he 
thought his sister looked.  Sure, you had to make allowances to have sex this 
way, but it was worth it when your girl looked as good as this!
        Finally, they both started ascending that ultimate ladder of passion.  
Still keeping it gentle, but increasing the pace, both neared their summit.  
Dawn began to moan lightly, and pushed back at him with more urgency.  Ron was 
panting, and stroking into her faster and faster.  Soon, they came together, 
in a confluence of moans, and tangled limbs.  Both fell asleep for a short 
while.
        When he awoke, Dawn was looking at him.  "Thank you, little brother.  
You made me feel like a real woman tonight."  She'd never said anything like 
that to him before.  She embraced him, and they kissed again, gently.  They 
held each other for some time.  Dawn eventually fell asleep, and Ron 
disengaged himself from the scene.
        Kumiko was waiting in his room.  "Is Dawn well, Master?"
        "Yes, Kumiko.  She was just a little depressed, and she thought I 
didn't like her anymore.  Just a misunderstanding.  She is much better now."
        "Please, Master, come over here, that I may give you a back rub?"
        This was new.  Usually, he was the one giving rubs.  He didn't mind, 
he actually enjoyed caressing beautiful girl-flesh.  But, he was pretty tight 
right now, with all the walking, and holding Dawn and all.
        "Okay, Kumiko, you talked me into it."  He was asleep long before she 
stopped.

        It was the last day before Christmas break.  The jeweler had managed a 
minor miracle, getting the necklaces finished in time for him to give one to 
his very special teacher friend.
        As class broke up, he walked up to Mrs. Hayes' desk.  He was a little 
apprehensive.  He didn't know whether she would accept the gift or not.  Its' 
cost really wasn't the issue, it was simply a symbol of his... love, 
protection, well-wishing, friendship, and all those gushy things he didn't 
think much about, but felt anyway.
        "Mrs. Hayes?"  He laid the box on her desk.
        "What's this?"
        "Just a Christmas present for you.  Go ahead, open it."
        Rather than having the box wrapped, he had simply chosen a very 
festive box to put it in.  She lifted the lid off the box, to find a velvet 
covered one inside.  This she opened slowly, and her breath caught in her 
throat.
        It was a 24 karat gold band necklace, with small diamond chips 
embedded in the front.  At the very front, it dipped into a sort of "v" shape, 
and set at the vertex of the vee was a stunning emerald of the deepest green.  
When she looked up, there were tears in her eyes.
        "Oh, Ron!  This is beautiful!  But, it must have cost a fortune, I 
can't-"
        "Yes, you can.  I can't take it back, anyway.  It was custom designed 
for you.  Go ahead, put it on."
        She pulled it out of the box and slipped it around her neck.  It fit 
almost as if she had been fitted for it.  It clung to her in the way only 
custom jewelry can.
        "But, how..."
        "Let's just say I have a really good memory.  I hope you like it."
        Nancy stood up and came around her desk.  She gave Ron a big hug, but 
not a kiss, as other students were starting to wander in.
        "Yes, Ron, I like it very much.  Thank you.  Have a Merry Christmas."
        Ron left happy, knowing she really liked it, and that she would wear 
it all the time.
        
        Later, in Tutoring, he saw Michelle, and gave her a gift.  Not a 
necklace this time, as they had a special meaning.  This was a small pin, not 
overdone, in a symbol she didn't recognize.
        "Thank you, Ron, but what's it mean?"
        It was a trio of concentric circles, with four lines radiating out 
from center.  The pin was created using rubies, sapphires, and diamonds, for 
that red-white-and-blue effect.
        "You'll find out, eventually.  I just thought you might like it."
        She gave him a hug, and then he had to take the good-natured razzing 
from the rest of the class.
        When everything had settled in and the students had gotten down to 
work, Ron and Linda had a chance to talk quietly.  She had seen Michelle's 
gift, and had felt a severe twinge of envy.  She decided to twist Ron's tail a 
bit.
        "So, where's my gift, lover?"  She said with a twinkle in her eye, but 
quietly enough that no one heard her.
        "Well, I have it with me, but I'd prefer not to give it to you."
        "How come?"
        "I'd rather give it to you Christmas morning.  Can you come to my 
house for Christmas?  We'll have a nice, quiet morning, and then we can open 
gifts, and eat..."  He stopped, because he saw a tear in her eye.  'How come 
everybody's crying around me?'  "What's wrong?"
        "Oh, Ron, it's just that it's been so long since anyone cared what I 
did on Christmas.  I'd be happy to join you and your family."  She grabbed his 
hand and squeezed, and he rested his hand on top of hers, all hidden from the 
class by his body, since his back was to them.

        Christmas morning came, and of course, Nikki and Tammy were the first 
up.  They'd already woken up Mom, now they came in to wake up Ron.  He had 
slept alone that night, expecting he'd need what little sleep he'd gotten.
        They both started jumping up and down on his bed excitedly, doing 
their absolute best to make sure he was awake.  That is, until Nikki jumped a 
little too close, and he quickly reached up and snatched her into a ferocious 
hug.  Tammy joined in, and they all shared a wonderful Christmas embrace.
        The entire family headed downstairs, to see a whole new wonderland.  
Ron had spent a good portion of the night arranging gifts under the tree, and 
hiding clues for Dawn.  Her new car was in the garage, had been for a couple 
of days, but no one ever went in the garage, by his instructions.  Sandra 
turned to him when she saw the spread.
        "Ron!  What happened down here?"
        "Santa was busy, I guess."  He replied with a mischievous grin.  He 
was thoroughly enjoying playing Santa this year.  His family never had enough 
around Christmas, and they'd always had to 'make due'.  This year was 
different.  He'd gotten them all wonderful gifts, had given each an allowance 
to spend on presents themselves, and he'd set everything up beautifully.
        A wonderful smell arose from the kitchen.  "What is that?" asked 
Megan.
        "Let's go see" answered Ron.  As they reached the bottom of the 
stairs, Kumiko came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of pastries.
        "It's a special, family recipe."  She explained.  "Ron asked me to 
have breakfast ready for the family.  I was honored."  She set the plate down 
on the table, and went to give Ron a hug.  "Thank you, Master.  You have 
honored your servant by allowing her to participate."
        The smaller gifts were opened right after breakfast.  Ron had told 
everyone there would be two waves of gifts from him.  Megan and Jess blushed 
at some of their gifts, but their eyes twinkled with ideas.  Sandra was 
overjoyed at some of the outfits he had gotten her.  'Girls are so easy to buy 
for.  Get them clothes, and they gush all over you.  Ick.'
        The girls had all worked very hard on buying him presents.  He had 
consciously *not* bought himself all the neat stuff he wanted, so they could 
have fun buying it for him.  He got a new telescope, a radio-control truck, a 
couple of model airplanes, and generally stuff that a fourteen year-old kid 
likes.
        Everyone had settled into a mid-morning lull, when the doorbell rang.
        "I wonder who would show up on Christmas morning?"  Sandra asked.
        "A guest of mine, probably.  I'll get it."  Ron walked to the front 
door.  Upon opening it, he found Linda, decked out in a beautiful red and 
green ensemble that, rather than looking tacky, as Ron thought most did, this 
one looked wonderfully festive, and hugged her body in all the right ways.
        "Merry Christmas, Ron!  Am I early?"
        "No.  Actually, I expected you a half hour ago, but no worry, we 
waited for you.  C'mon in."  He took her coat and hung it in the closet, then 
brought her into the living room and introduced her around.
        "Welcome to our home."  Sandra offered.
        "Thank you, Mrs. Chaffey."  Linda sat down on the couch with her, so 
that they could chat.
        "Please, call me Sandra."
        "Okay, everybody!  Now that our guest is here, we can proceed with the 
remainder of the gift-giving."
        "You mean there's more?"  Sandra asked.  Even though he'd told her, 
she really hadn't believed him until now.
        "Of course there's more!  You didn't think I'd let you guys get me all 
this neat stuff, and leave you all with _clothes_, did you?"  Ron laughed, and 
he asked Kumiko and Megan to help him.  He went to the closet, and they pulled 
out additional gifts for the family.
        "Now, it is important the order in which these are opened, so we'll do 
them one at a time.  First, Mom."
        Sandra fairly tore into her package, to find a new computer 
carry-case.  "Thank you, honey!  It's great!"
        Ron rolled his eyes a bit.  "Mom.  Open it."
        "Huh?"  She opened the case up to see her new computer.  "Oh!  Ron, 
it's just what I needed!"  She reached over and gave him a hug.  He glanced at 
Linda, and she winked at him.
        "Okay, now, Megan and Jess, you may open yours."  Both were small 
boxes.  Inside each was a card.  On the card were the words:  "I grant you one 
wish.  You may tell me later what it is you wish for."  They both thanked him 
for their gifts, and whispered to each other something Ron couldn't hear.
        "Nikki?  Tammy?  Here's yours."  Kumiko, who was his co-conspirator in 
all this, had left the room shortly before.  Both little girls opened their 
small boxes.  Inside each box was a card.  On this card were the words:  "Turn 
around."  It's really hard to put a puppy in a box.  Both girls turned around 
as Kumiko set the dogs on the floor.  The dogs scampered over to their new 
owners, who proceeded to hug and cuddle them.  Ron *really* liked being Santa.
        Dawn was sitting quietly in a chair by the window.  Ron walked over 
and handed her an envelope.  "Sis, you're the oldest of us Chaffey kids, so 
you have to work a little harder for your gift."
        "Hmm?  What do you mean?"  She opened the envelope and read:  "This 
begins your journey.  On the back of this card is a clue.  There are a series 
of these clues throughout the house.  You may ask for help from any family 
member.  On the other hand, this family member may exact a price for their 
help.  You may only ask for help from Ron twice.  He WILL exact a price for 
his help.  Good luck!"
        With that, Dawn set about a forty-five minute search, running back and 
forth throughout the house, finding clues, and asking for help now and again.  
He, Sandra, and Linda stayed in the living room, chatting amicably while the 
rest of the children ran around with Dawn.  Finally, they all came back in to 
the living room.  
        "Ron, I found what I guess is the last clue, but I'm not sure what it 
means."
        "Read it to me."
        "'From a place you've never been,
        To a place you shouldn't be...
        Enter in through forbidden doors,
        And your present you shall see.'  I don't get it."
        "Are you asking for my help?"  Ron asked jovially.
        "No!  Not yet, anyway."
        "Okay, I'll give you some sideways help.  Where did you just come 
from?"
        "The attic."
        "Have you ever been there before?"
        "No."
        "So, you were in 'a place you've never been', right?"
        "Yeah..."
        "Where's the only place I've asked y'all not to go?"
        "The garage!"  And everyone got up to go to the garage.  They stopped 
at the door, marked  "Do Not Enter", and a small sign, under that, newly 
added, marked "Forbidden".  "How'd I miss that?"  She pushed open the door, 
and flipped on the light.  And there sat a brand new shiny black Ford 
Explorer.  Dawn nearly wept for joy.  She hugged Ron furiously, and went to 
check out her new wheels.  Linda leaned over to whisper in Ron's ear.
        "Nice touch, guy."  Ron nodded, and his mother gave him a kiss.
        After a few minutes of watching everyone pore over the new truck, Ron 
cleared his throat.  "Is everyone forgetting something?"
        They all stared at each other, unclear what it was he wanted.  Was he 
looking for a thank you?  What?  Nikki spoke for the group.  "What is it, big 
brother?"
        "Kumiko has not yet received her gift.  If we could all return to the 
living room..."  And, after a second, everyone laughed, Kumiko included.  In 
all the excitement, she had completely forgotten herself.
        The family reassembled in the living room.  Ron presented Kumiko with 
a rather large box.  She carefully opened it, to reveal a large, elaborate, 
wooden music box.  It was made from many kinds of wood, and entirely 
hand-crafted.  Even the mechanisms inside had been hand-tooled and assembled.  
Inside, when the box was opened, was a beautiful oriental figure sitting in a 
garden.  The music was a favorite Japanese tune of Kumiko's.
        "When I saw it, it made me think of you."  Ron explained.
        Kumiko gently set it down on the coffee table, and, 
uncharacteristically, threw herself at him and embraced him with all her 
might.  There were no words, no way she could express the love she felt at 
this moment for this man.  Ron took it in stride.  He hadn't known what to 
expect, and was pleasantly surprised by this reaction.
        Eventually, they separated, and Ron had everyone sit down again.
        "Now, each of you has one final gift coming."  This caused a mild 
stir, but Ron motioned for calm.  "Not all of us are named Chaffey, and not 
everyone knows what we're all about.  But,  I consider everyone in this room a 
member of my Family."  He looked to Linda, who was blushing slightly.  "As 
such, I wanted to give each of you something that would in some way identify 
you as a member of my Family.  So..."  He handed out eight small boxes, one to 
each lady.  "Please open them all at the same time."
        Eight boxes opened, and eight females took a breath.  Even the younger 
ones had enough appreciation of fine work to admire the beauty and 
craftsmanship in their necklaces.  Theirs were, for obvious reasons, smaller 
and simpler than the rest, but still very special, and made specifically for 
them.
        Linda was flabbergasted.  She had expected some small token.  Her 
necklace was similar to Mrs. Hayes', but contained a ruby at the vee instead 
of an emerald.  The rest of the family had a slightly different style, less 
ornate.  Theirs each contained a large gemstone, right above the vee, and a 
letter pendent, covered with diamonds, below the vee.  The letter was their 
first initial.  Tammy and Nikki both had a smaller jewel, a citrine, with 
their initial in basic gold with silver accents.  There was no plating on 
these necklaces:  this was the real thing.  Dawn had a gorgeous deep sapphire. 
 Megan and Jess both had an emerald so pure it almost seemed to glow against 
their skin.  Sandra had a diamond of excellent purity.
        Kumiko's was the oddest of all.  Hers had been the most elaborate, yet 
the most subdued at the same time.  Hers did not contain a letter pendant, 
instead, it was lined with small diamonds, down to the vee, from which was 
suspended a jewel that resembled a diamond, but which was so perfectly clear, 
it almost acted like a magnifying glass.  Kumiko, unconcerned about the value 
of the gem, slipped it around her neck carefully.  Immediately, she felt a 
strange sense of warmth, of security.  She gave Ron a curious look, and he 
noticed and walked over to her.
        He whispered in her ear.  "I'll explain later.  Don't worry about it 
now."  She seemed to accept that, and  everyone carried on with the 
celebration, which could now get into full swing.

        Later, as the day flowed on, Kumiko and Ron had a chance to talk 
alone.
        "Master, what is happening to me?"  She described what she felt, and 
Ron compared it to what he had read.  'Good.  It's working.'
        "Kumiko, for a long time, I've known that the Family needed a leader."
        "You are our leader, Master."
        "Well, yes, but I mean, a leader among the rest, so that, when I am 
not here, decisions can be made in an emergency.  I thought about Mom, but 
she's not always here either, since she's chosen to keep working, plus she's 
still not fully recovered psychologically from Marinda's attack."  Ron had 
done what he could, but without messing up her personality, which he refused 
to do, he couldn't figure a way to clear that issue out.  "Anyway,  I have 
decided that you will be the leader of the girls.  You will have some new 
responsibilities, and in order to help out with that, I have given you that 
necklace."
        "I do not understand."
        'How to explain this to someone who knows nothing of psionic powers?'  
"Look at it this way.  You know I have powers, right?"
        "Yes, Master.  The entire Family has spoken of them."
        "Well, that necklace allows you to access a very limited amount of my 
powers.  It allows you to do two important things.  Number one, it will let 
you call me with your mind, if the Family is ever in trouble or needs help.  
Second, it will let you use my mental energy to fight off an attack by another 
one who has powers like mine."  Ron sensed somehow that this would become 
necessary sooner rather than later.
        "I'm still not sure I understand, Master, but it will be as you say."  
Kumiko was willing to accept whatever he told her.  He was tempted to tell her 
the sky was green and the moon was made of cow manure, just to see how she'd 
react, but he didn't.

        As the day wore on, it started to get dark.  Linda and Ron had time 
for a warm discussion of their relationship, which both fervently hoped would 
continue.  Then, around seven o'clock, they heard sirens outside.
        "I wonder what that's about?"  She said.
        "Let's go see."  Ron's new home sat on the front edge of their 
property, as did all the houses in this area, so the house across the street 
was pretty close.  That was where the cars had gone.
        Sandra, Linda, and Ron stepped out to see what was going on.  They saw 
the policemen dragging a young girl, somewhere between Nikki's and Ron's ages, 
out of the house, kicking and screaming.  Linda stormed across the street.
        "How dare you treat a young child in that manner!  Release her 
immediately."  One of the officers raised his baton to strike her down, then 
froze stiff.  The other saw this, and let go of the child to pull his gun.  He 
never got it out of the holster.  Ron walked across the street.
        The child was clinging to Linda now, staring back at the two officers. 
 So was Linda.  The men were still struggling; they weren't dead, they just 
couldn't move.
        "How do, officers?  I don't seem to remember from the books I've read 
anything about trying to harm civilians who question your procedures."  Ron 
deliberately talked himself up to these men, though he thought he might have 
just gone over their heads, given the dimwitted looks on their faces.  Ron had 
respect for most officers, but these two were scum.  He could tell.  "You will 
not harm this woman, or the child.  What is the issue here?"  He released them 
carefully.  Both moved hesitantly, as if they weren't sure they were supposed 
to be able to move now.
        "Just look, you little cretin!  The one pointed to a bloody body lying 
on the ground some sixty feet away.  Linda gasped, and Ron figured it to be 
the young girl's father.
        "Yeah, so?  Do you think she"  he motioned to the girl, "did it?  Are 
you that stupid?"
        "She's the only one in the house.  Her mother's dead too."  The girl 
didn't shudder, didn't flinch at the mention of her parents' demise.  However, 
the bruises were evident on her face.  "I suppose she punched herself, then?  
Or did you put those there?"
        "Why, you little mother-"  The man began to swing the baton, then 
found himself lying on the concrete, thirty feet away.  He felt like he'd just 
been run over by a very angry truck.  "Ohhhhhhh.   Aw shit.  What the hell 
happened?"  He was dazed, but the other cop wasn't.  He finished pulling his 
gun.
        "Drop the gun, officer, or I will crush your skull."  The man felt the 
pressure start to build at his temples.  "You can't kill me fast enough to 
survive.  The girl is not a threat.  You have caused enough trouble here.  The 
young lady can stay with us across the street for the night, until Social 
Services can come by tomorrow.  Go, file your report.  You will not make any 
mention of me or my activities.  Oh, and one more thing."  The man had turned 
to go, and now turned back with a questioning look.  "If you ever mess with my 
Family again, I'll find something to do to you that will be worse than death." 
 The cop staggered over to his friend, and they both got in the car.  Ron knew 
they couldn't leave, but that wasn't important.  Ron and Linda guided the girl 
over to the Chaffey house.  She hadn't said a word yet.  Ron knew something 
was up.
        "What's your name?"  Linda asked.  No response.  Linda looked to Ron.  
"Suggestions?"
        Ron began a mind probe of the girl.  Her name was Karen, and she had 
just killed both of her parents.  Why?  Well, they had been beating and raping 
her for the last two years.  'Sounds like a good reason to me.'  He knew she 
really had killed them, but he wanted to know how.  He kept searching her 
memories, then found a bright, glowing orb isolated from everything else.  
'What in the hell....  Wait a minute!  '... it will resemble a bright, glowing 
ball of energy.  Do not approach, or you may be harmed by an automatic 
internal defense.'  Her Ability Sphere!  She's a psionic!  How many of us are 
there in this area?  Well, I'm not about to test that line about internal 
defenses...'  Ron pulled out, and asked Linda if she could get him a glass of 
water.  She had watched in awe for the last five minutes, not having the 
faintest idea what was going on, but knowing the two of them were 
communicating somehow, because their movements had exactly synced.
        "Karen?"  She tried to focus on him, but didn't quite make it.  He 
knew it was just the shock of the event.  "Karen?  C'mon.  Time to wake up 
now."  Just talking to her was helping her out of it.  Linda came back with 
the water.  He took a sip, then continued.  "Hey, Karen.  I've got some nice 
cool water here for you.  Wake up, girl.  Wake up, Karen."  Ron continued like 
this for another minute or so.  Finally, she started to come around.
        "C'mon Kar....  ah, there we go."  She had finally managed to focus on 
his face.  She didn't smile.  Not that he'd expected her to, but it would have 
been nice to see, anyway.  She was a wreck.  Her dirty blonde hair was tangled 
and matted with blood and stuff he didn't need to guess at.  Her face had a 
massive bruise on the one side, and her lip was cut.  There were bruises on 
her arms where he could see, and he supposed there were more where he 
couldn't.
        "Who...who're you?"  It wasn't an accusation, and there was no fear in 
the question.  It was just a question.
        "My name is Ron Chaffey.  I live across the street from you.  You are 
in my house right now.  You are safe here."  He made that last pronouncement 
with some degree of force, to make sure she believed it.
        "I... I killed my Mom and Dad.  They were..."   
        "I know.  Don't worry about it."
        "I... felt... you.  In my head.  Are you... like me?"
        "Yes, Karen.  I am a lot like you.  And I will help you all I can.  If 
you'll let me.  You can stay here tonight, if you like."
        She reached out, and hugged him.  She squeezed tight enough that he 
struggled to breath a little.  He realized that she was crying quietly now.
        "Linda, go get Kumiko, please?"  Linda departed, and returned with 
Kumiko at her side.  Kumiko gasped at the sight of the little girl.  "Kumiko, 
see if you can find something that will fit her.  She will be staying the 
night."  Ron was, even now, probing her body for injuries.  He fixed what was 
there.  Luckily, there was nothing serious, this time, but he found plenty of 
evidence of previous mistreatments.  'Well, at least those two got what they 
deserved.'
        Kumiko returned with a kimono that she no longer wore.  It was big on 
her, but not overly so, since Kumiko was a small person, and Karen was big for 
her age.
        "What shall we do, Master?"  Kumiko asked.
        "I don't know, Kumiko.  I don't know."  Meanwhile, Karen slept in his 
arms.

Chapter 4: New Friends, Old Friends, and Trouble on the Horizon

        The next few days were more hectic than Ron would have preferred for 
his Christmas holiday.  The next day, Social Services showed up to claim the 
girl.
        "Hello, my name is Heidi Gallagher.  I am here to pick up little 
Karen."
        "Please, come in.  Karen is with Ron in the living room."  Sandra led 
her in, and introduced her.  Sandra sat down in a chair, but Ms. Gallagher 
seemed to be in a hurry.
        "Come, Karen.  We need to go."  Karen, startled, backed up behind Ron, 
who had risen upon Heidi's entrance.  "Come now, we have no time for this."
        "Ms. Gallagher," Ron interjected, "You have all the manners of a 
barbarian, and no interpersonal skills at all."  Ron was re-reading some of 
his psychology, and had picked up quite a bit of the lingo.
        "Excuse me, young man, but I am a very busy woman.  I don't have time 
for this childish nonsense."  She huffed.
        "But, ma'am, she *is* a child.  And it isn't nonsense to her.  She's 
terrified of you."  Ron replied reasonably.
        "I won't go with her!"  Karen screamed.
        "Oh, you don't have a choice, young lady."
        "Yes, she does."  Karen moved in what would have been an agressive 
motion, but Ron stopped her.  'Let me handle this.  I will protect you.'  
Karen nodded.  Ron turned to the woman.  "What would you do with her?  Stick 
her in an orphanage?"
        "That is where she belongs."  Heidi snapped.
        "No, I don't think so."  Ron engaged the woman's eyes.  "You will draw 
up and bring back here the papers to put her in our custody.  You will handle 
any necessary court details."  Ron released her, and, without a word, she 
left.  Ron turned to Karen, who nearly strangled him with a hug.
        "Thank you!"
        "Honey?  I know we've got the room and all, but do we really want to 
take on another person?"  Sandra asked.
        "It's our duty, Mom.  We don't have a choice.  I interfered with the 
police, so that makes her my responsibility.  If I wasn't going to make sure 
she was okay, I never should have stepped in to begin with."  This sounded 
reasonable enough to everyone, and the matter was dropped.

        Over the next few days, a small army of people came to interview the 
family in the house.  Ron had to make adjustments to just about everyone, but, 
in the end, the paperwork was signed and filed.  Karen Pritchart, newly 
orphaned, was now a ward of the Chaffey extended family.  Ron had just one 
more issue to handle.

        Mike showed up on January 3.
        "You said you had a minor emergency, Ron.  I can't imagine much that 
you couldn't handle alone."  Then they entered the living room, where Karen 
was sitting.  "Oh.  Hello, I don't think we've met."  Mike introduced himself, 
and Karen nodded sheepishly.  "So, what's up?"
        Ron answered, "Well, it's Karen here.  She's a psionic."
        "Oh?  New to the area?"
        "No, she's been living in the house across the street for the past 
four years now."
        "Curious.  I'll have to check and see who surveyed this area last.  
So, I guess we'll need to sign her up for CAMP, hmm?"
        "Well, that is up to her.  I have only vaguely discussed it with her, 
since I'm not cleared for recruitment procedures.  I'll leave you two to it, 
I've got something to look after."  Ron went to leave the room, and as he did 
so, noticed the worry on Karen's face.  "Don't worry, I'm not leaving.  I'll 
be in the kitchen, or upstairs.  I'll be back before he leaves.  He won't 
bite.  Much."  He said the last with a grin, and at least got a small one in 
return.
        After checking in on family members, handling some personal things 
that others couldn't do for him, and getting himself something to eat, he 
re-entered the living room.
        "No."
        "So, you don't want to be a member of CAMP?"
        "That's not what I said."
        Mike threw up his hands in exasperation.
        "What's up?" Ron asked.
        "She won't go to CAMP, but she won't refuse membership, either.  We've 
never had anyone this... stubborn."
        'What's the problem, Karen?'
        'I don't trust him, or the guys he's talking about.'



        'But, Karen, I *am* one of the guys he's talking about.'
        'You're different.  You saved me.  Why can't you teach me?'
        "No."
        "What?"  Mike, not being the rude type, hadn't been following along on 
the mental conversation that just went on.
        "Why not?"  Karen wanted to know.
        "I'm not qualified."
        "You're teaching Michelle."  She had stopped by a couple of days ago, 
and so the three had a little get-together of the minds.
        "Karen, I'm teaching Michelle like, really basic stuff.  I can't teach 
the big, important stuff."
        "Why not?"  This was from Mike, who had finally caught on, and 
couldn't resist a perfect opportunity to get Ron involved in something he was 
perfectly suited for, but would resist strongly.
        "C'mon, Mike!  I'm still learning this stuff myself.  I'm no teacher."
        "We're all still learning, kiddo.  And you're as good as any 
instructor we've got at CAMP.  If she's willing to learn at your hand, that's 
just fine by us.  Just use the handbook."
        Karen was satisfied.  Mike was satisfied.  Ron was terrified.
        "What if I screw up?"
        "What if you do?  We all do, sooner or later.  It's just like teaching 
any other subject.  The really important stuff, you won't slip up on.  The 
rest, if you don't explain it right, well, it just won't work, that's all.  
Then you can explain it again, and then maybe you'll get it right."
        "Ron?  Please?"  Karen was pleading with him.  She was 12, and she was 
really good at pleading.  Ron had been good at pleading at that age, too.  He 
*hated* it when girls pleaded with him, because he could never say no.
        "Oh, okay.  But I'm gonna regret this."
        "Nah.  No worries, Ron.  Okay, if we can just get her parents to sign 
these forms....then...we........what?"  Ron and Karen were looking at him with 
one of those expressions.
        "She doesn't have any parents."
        "What happened to them?"
        "Well, let's say they took an early departure into the hereafter."
        "I killed them!"  Karen was rather more direct.  Mike just sat, 
stunned.  "Ron?"  He was looking for an explanation.  Ron took pity on him.
        "Her parents were abusive, and so she finally took matters into her 
own hands.  Probably what awakened The Ability so early.  The police were, 
shall we say, more interested in closing the case than her safety, and so I 
had to come to her defense."
        "I see.  Well, then, who is guardian?"
        "My mother, officially."
        "In other words, you."
        "You could say that."
        "Sign here."  Mike indicated all the places.  It wasn't legally 
binding, as such, because Ron was underage.  However, CAMP rules forbade 
allowing the follower of a member to sign binding forms.  "Well, that takes 
care of that.  What about her schooling?"
        "She goes to the junior high.  She will continue to do so."
        "Very good.  No problem there.  Good day, and good luck to you both."  
With that, Mike trotted off to his car.
        "Thank you."
        "I'm going to regret this..." Ron knew he wasn't going to like this 
arrangement.  He was wrong.

        Weeks went by, and Karen's skills started to improve.  As did both her 
appearance, and her confidence.  They had taken her shopping to get her new 
clothes, and had gotten her all those nice things that girls like.  Ron did 
not accompany them on that trip:  he couldn't bear the thought of watching 
women wading through clothing.  But, she put on a fashion show of sorts when 
they got back, and he couldn't say he disapproved of their tastes.
        Finally, in mid-February, *The Day* arrived.  It was time for Dawn to 
lose a little weight, and Ron and Sandra took her to the hospital.  It wasn't 
a long labor, only about 45 minutes or so.  Amazingly easy for a first, his 
mother said.
        Ron and his Mom stepped in after the birth to see them both.  It was a 
brand new baby boy.  His eyes were a startling blue: he realized that they 
were the color of Kumiko's eyes.  Most babies are born with blue eyes, of 
course, but Kumiko apparently had never lost that brilliance in hers.
        "Ron?  We never talked about what to name him."  Ron thought for a 
second.
        "What would you like to name him?"  He asked.
        "I don't know.  Mom?"
        "I really hadn't thought about it, Dawn.  I assumed you two had 
discussed it."
        They hadn't, but Ron came up with a name quickly.  "Nathan Conrad."
        "That's pretty.  Why those two, Ron?"  Dawn inquired.
        "That names him after each of our grandfathers."
        "Oh.  I didn't know what Grandpa Miller's name was.  Nathan Conrad 
Chaffey."  And so, a new life emerged into the world. 
        'I wonder if he'll have my gift?  Better for him if he doesn't.  It 
puts an awful lot of responsibility on you.'  Ron didn't know the half of it, 
yet.

        One of Ron's jobs, as field agent, was to routinely scan the latents 
in his area, to see if any were ready for contact by Mr. McGavin.  He had yet 
to find one, but he really didn't expect them to be springing up like they 
were already.
        He was on the trail of one now.  He was a 19 year old college student. 
 Ron looked older than his age, but there was no way he was passing for a 
college student.  He meandered about campus, trying to look inconspicuous, and 
working to locate his target.  He thought he'd found him, when a little 
trouble arose.
        "Get off our campus, kid."  This was some jock.  'Probably here on a 
football sholarship.'  He was big, mean, and ugly.
        "What?"
        "I said get off our campus.  No squirts or pipsqueaks allowed."
        Just then, a clean-cut boy with black hair walked up.  He was 5'6" 
tall, thin, not muscular, pretty much a bookworm type.  "What's up, Bruce?"
        "Stay out of this, dickweed.  I'm gonna pound this little dude."
        Just then, Bruce found himself lying on his back.  'Huh?  Wait, I 
didn't do anything...'  He realized that Bruce must have been knocked down by 
the other guy.
        Ron did a very quick scan.  'Okay, this is my target.  Right name, 
address, there's the Ability Sphere, and it's ready for contact.'  Ron mumbled 
a "Thanks," and quickly got out of there.
        'Geez.  What is this world coming to?  I can't even walk along quietly 
on a college campus anymore!'

        It was April, and life was good.  Dawn and her baby were coming along 
nicely.  Ron didn't pay all that much attention to the infant, not really 
feeling much in the way of a paternal instinct kicking in.  He played with the 
little guy, but not much else.  He left the less pleasant jobs to more 
qualified, and, less powerful, individuals, like Megan, Jess, and Dawn.  He 
had taken some sympathy on his sister, by assigning Jess to infant duty during 
the night.  That way, Dawn could at least get some sleep.
        Ron was wandering the halls after school one day, when he heard a 
familiar voice coming from an office.
        "Oh, yes.  He's a wonderful student, too."  That was Mrs. Hayes voice, 
he was sure of it.
        "Well, he makes a splendid tutor."  And that was Linda!  Ron couldn't 
pass up the opportunity to find out what they were talking about.  He walked 
in through the open doorway.
        "I couldn't help but notice you were chatting about me.  Is there some 
reason?"  He asked in a playful tone that both ladies recognized.
        "Well, I just happened to notice that Mrs. Hayes there has a beautiful 
necklace that seemed, well, rather similar to mine."
        "It ought to.  They're identical except for the stone."
        "Yes, so I see.  We were about to, um... compare notes, in a way."
        Ron stepped over and closed the door.  "Go ahead."  He smiled, and 
winked.  "I don't mind."
        Nancy gave in first.  "I don't think just talking will do.  How about 
you, Linda?"
        "No, not at all.  I think a visual display would be best."  The ladies 
advanced on him, both already unbuttoning their blouses.
        Ron feigned fright.  "Now, ladies, please...  I'm fragile, I might 
break."
        Linda ran her hand across his crotch.  "Oooh.  No.  You're hard, but I 
don't think you're fragile."  She pulled his shirt off over his head.  Nancy 
bent down to work at his jeans.  She got them off, then let Linda take over 
while she removed the rest of her clothes.
        Linda pulled down his briefs, revealing his hard, throbbing dick.  She 
licked her lips at the very sight of it.  "Oh, it's been a few weeks since 
I've played with this."  She wrapped her fingers softly around his prick, and 
started jacking as she sucked the head into her mouth.
        Nancy had undressed fully now, and was massaging Ron's chest as she 
kissed him passionately.  Both women seemed on fire.  Ron wondered if he ought 
not to have them over for a weekend sometime.  'I'm not sure I could survive 
both for that long!'
        Ron rearranged people a little.  He laid Nancy across the desk, and 
dove right into her muff, licking and sucking with wild abandon.  Linda 
returned to his cock, taking more of it into her mouth now.  Nancy was moaning 
from the attention.
        Ron was close to coming, he knew that.  There was no stopping it.  He 
increased his pace on Nancy's pussy.  She started the little shudders he'd 
come to recognize as a small orgasm, just then he came himself, pouring his 
seed down Linda's throat.  She took it all, and sucked him hard again.
        It was only fair that Linda get some attention now, as she was the 
only one who hadn't come yet.  Ron bent her over the desk, just over Nancy.  
Linda started eating out Nancy, and Ron pushed his rod into Linda from behind. 
 She gave a deep moan, and pushed back.  Ron pulled out so that just his head 
was in, then plunged back in.  Slowly, in and out, in and out.  He worked as 
slow a pace as he could handle.  Linda was eating Nancy's pussy, licking up 
and down the slit, then taking her clit into her mouth and lightly nipping it 
with her teeth.
        Nancy was shuddering constantly now, and the spasms were becoming more 
and more violent.  Linda was fucking back at Ron with some force, and Ron was 
pushing into Linda faster and faster.  Just then, Linda went rigid, and let 
out a yelp.  She strangled it as much as she could, for there were other 
people in the building.  Her orgasm lasted for almost a minute.  Ron pulled 
out of her, and pulled her into his arms.  He kissed her softly, gently, 
sensuously.
        "It was good for me, too."  She responded breathlessly.
        Ron gently helped her into a chair.  She had always been kind of out 
of it after good sex.  But he still had to please Nancy.
        Nancy reached out and took his cock in hand.  He had softened just 
slightly, so she sucked him until he was good and hard again.
        "Now I want you inside me, lover.  Make me come!"
        Ron plunged into her now well-lubricated hole.  She wasn't interested 
in slow today.  She wanted it hot and fast.  She wrapped her legs around his 
ass and pulled him into her as far and as fast as she could manage.  Ron 
started massaging her wonderful tits.  He squeezed and twisted the nipples, 
and she mewled in pleasure.  She loved it.
        Quickly she started to climb to her orgasm.  She pummelled him into 
her faster and faster.  Then, as she was about to come, she pulled him down to 
her and kissed him.  As she climaxed, she screamed into his mouth, still 
wrestling with his tongue.
        They remained like that for some minutes, both of them coming down 
from one of their better performances.
        "Oh... Damn...that was....just wonderful!"  Nancy said.
        Ron felt a soft body behind him, that embraced him in a glorious hug.  
"We were also talking about something else, Ron."
        "Oh?  I don't think I'm up to any more today!"
        "No, not that.  Both of us are single.  Both of us live in a fairly 
expensive apartment.  Both of us wish we could spend more time with you...."  
She trailed off, hoping Nancy would continue, but Ron picked up for her.
        "So, you were wondering if there was room at the Chaffey house for you 
two?"  Both women nodded.  "Well, we do have two bedrooms left, but I did want 
to have a guest room..."  He was teasing.  They knew it, but they also worried 
that, just maybe, he wasn't.
        "We'll share a room!" insisted Nancy.  "That's not a problem.  Neither 
of us has much stuff!"  Linda agreed.
        Ron just shook his head.  "Ladies, you're impossible.  Of course 
you're welcome in my home, so long as you live by the rules, and you 
understand who's in charge."
        "Why, you are, Ron."  Nancy said.  Linda nodded agreement.
        "See?  You know the most important rule already.  You can move in over 
the weekend, if you like."
        'Well, if I don't survive, at least I'll go out happy!'

        It was late May, school was out, and life was fine.  Little Nathan was 
a healthy, growing boy.  Dr. Brown was out to see him every couple weeks.  She 
didn't normally do house calls, but Ron hadn't given her a choice in the 
matter.  He was still torturing her unmercifully, making her wet and excited 
anytime she was near him.  She couldn't understand it, she wasn't attracted to 
him at all.  On Ron's part, it was just a fun diversion.
        Karen's skills were really coming along well.  He had gotten her to 
master all of the defense techniques early on, and they practiced on each 
other regularly, and on Michelle, whenever she would stop by.  Right now Karen 
was mastering the art of telekinesis, moving all sorts of things around the 
house.  The rest of the family had gotten used to these lessons, and no longer 
complained that their stuff wasn't where they'd left it.  One morning, Ron was 
teaching Karen about levitation, when he got a strange sensation, as if he 
were being watched.  He knew that was impossible; there were at present three 
telepaths in the house, since Michelle was visiting, and any telepathic 
communication, send or receive, would have been instantly noted.  Still, the 
feeling was there.
        "Hang on a second, Kar.  I need to check on something."  Ron went 
upstairs to his room.  He had made some modifications to the window in his 
room that allowed him to look out, without anyone outside being able to tell.  
'I really ought to just install cameras.  It'd be easier.'  Sure enough, 
across the street, was a tall man dressed in a black trenchcoat.  'Trenchcoat? 
 In May?  Talk about conspicuous.'  He knew the man was not scanning him, but, 
since he did not know if the man was a psionic or not, he wouldn't risk a scan 
of his own.  He studied the man for a few minutes, until he moved off.  Ron 
filed the incident in the back of his mind.  'Strange.  Very strange.'

        Over the summer, this event was repeated many times.  Ron began to 
wonder if someone were watching him because they knew, or suspected, what he 
was.  'Or, maybe' he thought, 'it's an inspector from Social Services.  No, 
that's nuts.  Why would they bother doing it like that?'  Finally, in early 
July, an event occured that solved the matter for him.
        It was late morning, around eleven, when the doorbell rang.  Nikki 
went to answer the door, and nearly bolted back into the living room, where 
Ron was reading.
        "What's up, Nik?  Who's at the door?"  Then he saw past Nikki to.... 
'No, I must be seeing things.  I can't possibly be seeing who I'm seeing.'  
But he was.  Standing in the doorway, in clothes that hung from her body, torn 
and even bloody, stood Marinda.
        "Ronnn....."  Was all she managed, before collapsing to the floor.
        "Shit.  Okay, Nikki, go get Kumiko, Mom, and Linda."  Nikki ran to do 
as she was instructed.  Ron walked over and closed the front door.  Then he 
examined Marinda without touching her.  She moaned, but refused to wake up 
when he shook her.  His 'counseling team', as he'd taken to calling them, came 
in just then.  They all gasped at the sight of her, but neither Kumiko nor 
Sandra would approach.
        "Get her out of here, Ron!"  screamed Sandra.
        "Chill out, Mom.  She can't hurt you.  Heck, I can't even get her to 
wake up.  Help me move her into the spare bedroom."  He finally convinced them 
to come over and move her.  "Kumiko, I'm going to put you in charge of caring 
for her."  He continued in a whisper to her, "Use the necklace if there's 
trouble, and send someone to get me when she wakes up."  Kumiko nodded, Ron 
told Linda to stay with her, and then he took his Mom out of the room.
        "I don't like it, Ron.  She could be trouble."
        "Mom, you don't understand.  James got rid of her powers.  She can't 
hurt you anymore.  And, even if she did still have her powers, James told me 
before that it was my fault she could get to you, because of some things I 
hadn't done.  Well, I've done all those things now.  It'll be fine, but I need 
to know why she came here, even after I ordered them not to."
        Sandra didn't argue, but was not happy about things.  Ron could tell, 
but there was nothing he could do.  He needed to know what Marinda knew.  "So, 
what's for lunch?"

        She was being chased.  They were getting closer, closer, reaching out 
for her.  She turned to fight them off, only to find she had no hands.  She 
opened her mouth to scream, but emitted only a whisper.
        "You might as well give in.  You're powerless... powerless..."
        Marinda bolted upright in bed, startling the others in the room.  
Quickly she looked about.  Three feet from her was a familiar face, though she 
couldn't put a name to it.

        It was late afternoon when Marinda awoke.  Kumiko was still at her 
post, but Megan was sitting in with her now.  Marinda sat upright and scanned 
the room.  Kumiko was uncomfortable to be this close to the woman, but she had 
her orders.  Even this woman deserved some sympathy, or so Ron had decided.
        "Please be still.  You will not be harmed here."  She hoped she wasn't 
lying, but really didn't know.  "Master Ron has told me to look after you.  
Megan, please go get Master Ron."  Megan left the room to go find Ron.  "Would 
you like some icewater?"
        "Yes, please."  Marinda croaked.  Her throat was parched, and she had 
some difficulty swallowing.  By the time she had finished the glass, Ron had 
entered the room.
        "Good evening.  Megan, you can go now."  He motioned Kumiko to a seat 
away from the bed.  "I am going to assume you have a good reason for coming 
here.  Your condition would seem to indicate you have been in some sort of 
fight.  Are you feeling up to telling me what is going on?"  
        "May I use a restroom, first?"  Ron nodded, and Kumiko showed her the 
way, then brought her back.  She sat down on the bed, and began.
        "First of all, I do remember what you are.  I know you are far 
stronger than I ever was.  I have come to terms with what my life has become.  
Unfortunately, I have a problem that I don't know how to resolve, and their is 
something that you need to know.  Actually, two somethings."
        "Okay, what are they?"
        "First off, your father, my Master, is dead."  Ron nodded, and Kumiko 
bowed her head.  "Secondly, you are right.  I was in a fight that got your 
father killed.  Two psionics came and broke into our house.  I'm still not 
sure if they were after him or me, but, without my powers, there was nothing I 
could do."
        "Who were they?"
        "I don't know, but they weren't speaking English."
        "Did you recognize the language?"
        "No."
        "May I scan you?"  This was not unexpected.  She knew he didn't trust 
her.  She figured he wanted to make sure she wasn't lying to him."
        "Yes."
        Five minutes later, he looked over at Kumiko.  "Russian."
        "How do you know?"  Marinda asked.
        "You may not recognize it, but you still remember it.  I've heard 
enough languages to be able to recognize regions, at least.  That one is 
definitely Russian."
        "What does it mean, Master?"  Kumiko queried.
        "I don't know.  Marinda, you will remain in this room.  You may use 
the restroom.  Until I decide what to do with you, you will be our... guest is 
the polite term, but prisoner will do.  I don't trust you yet."  Ron knew that 
scans *could* be faked, but only by a real expert.  He would do a really 
in-depth scan on her after dinner.  Nobody could fake that.

        His further scan confirmed that Marinda was, indeed, telling the 
truth.  She had come to Ron because she quite simply didn't know where else to 
go.
        The death of his father didn't upset him any.  The man was a shit, and 
everyone knew it.  The scan showed his theory to be at least somewhat 
accurate, in that his father had finally managed to hold a job for more than a 
month and a half at a time.  He had been a security guard at a bank when he 
died.
        "So, what happens to me now?"  Marinda asked of Ron.  They were alone 
in the guest bedroom.  "I have no skills, I can't get a job.  What do I do 
now?"  It was awkward.  She was fully aware that she had no real cognitive 
ability.  Unlike most stupid people, who are blessed with ignorance of their 
ignorance, she was quite aware that she was no longer capable of living in the 
real world.
        "Don't worry about that for now.  I'll think of something.  Now, I 
need to look you over, and make sure there are no serious injuries.  Sit 
still."  Ron ran his hands lightly over her body.  She shivered at his very 
touch, still aware of the Power that ran through the person examining her.  
She was also becoming highly aroused by his caresses, though they were much 
softer than what she had grown accustomed to at his father's hands.  Ron took 
note of her state.
        "Feel good?"  He asked mischievously.  He hadn't had a shot at Marinda 
that night, leaving her to James.  And, besides, her body wasn't exactly ugly.
        "Yes, it does, sir.  Very good."
        "Would you like me to continue?"
        "YES.... uh, please, sir."  Apparently her father either hadn't 
thought of or didn't like 'Master'.
        "Very well.  Stand up."  She did as requested.  Ron held her gently 
for a moment, letting his eyes rove her body.  She was wearing what remained 
of a very nice outfit, a light yellow blouse and a tan skirt.  It reminded him 
of some outfits he'd seen Linda wear.  Their wasn't much left of it now, 
however.  He gently undid the fasteners and removed her outer garments, so 
that now she wore only underwear.  He embraced her to remove her bra.  She 
seemed to like that a lot.  While he was there, he gave her a kiss.  He had 
meant it to be quick, but it lingered, neither of them really wanting to let 
go.  But, alas, the bra came loose and Ron pulled back, dragging the confining 
lingerie off her shoulders and down off her arms.
        Marinda was in ecstasy.  She had not felt pleasant caresses such as 
these for a very long time.  Ron's father had been a brutal man, and he'd 
treated her like shit.  Her life forced her to accept it, but it did not make 
her like it.  She could still remember fragments, mere tidbits, of what she'd 
been once, and you never lose the memory that once you were a powerful 
individual, one with The Ability.  Knowing that was gone was the hardest thing 
for her to take.  Mike's beatings hadn't made things any better, though.  She 
was aware that Ron was directly responsible for her losing The Ability, but 
there was nothing she could do, even if she'd wanted to.  'At least he's 
gentle.'
        Ron had removed her panties and stockings, so that she was totally 
nude now.  He stood back to examine her form once more.  He could see the 
discolorations of faded bruises, as well as the fresh black and blue 
splotches.  'Why is it,' he wondered, 'that I seem to see a lot of women this 
way.  There's got to be some way to stop maniacs from doing this shit.'  Ron 
moved back in, and gave her another quick kiss, this time keeping it short.
        He moved behind her, and noticed the striped welts from a severe belt 
beating.  'Damn, what did I sentence this poor woman to?'  Then he recalled 
what she had done to his family.  'Well, maybe she got what she deserved, and 
then again, maybe she's paid enough.'  He decided to talk it over with the 
Family later, but he was feeling sympathy for her now.
        He reached out and massaged her shoulders.  They were tight, tense 
with the day's activity.  She relaxed into his grip, letting tension drip off 
her body.  He couldn't effectively do more than this with her standing, so he 
had her lay down on the double bed in the room.  He spread his ministrations 
out, expanding to cover her back, and eventually her ass and legs.  He spent a 
considerable amount of time just relaxing her body.
        Eventually, she turned over to face him.  He had been doing some 
healing work while he was rubbing, and she was feeling a lot better now.  She 
thanked him with her eyes, but with her mouth, she said.  "You will hurt me, 
just like your father did."
        "No, I won't.  I may pass you to someone who might, but I will not 
personally cause you any physical pain."  He made himself very specific on 
that.  He wasn't into sadism, and didn't understand how anyone could do that 
crap.  "Look, I punished you for what you did to my family.  At the time, I 
swore if I ever saw you again, I would kill you.  Now, I've scanned you, and I 
know what you've been through in the last year.  Maybe you've paid enough.  
I'll have to talk to the rest of the Family to see what we'll do about you."
        Marinda wasn't sure whether or not to believe him.  She wanted to so 
badly, but the last year had taken most of her hope and stomped on it.  "What 
will you do to me, then?"
        "I think, for right now,  I'm going to screw you."  Ron said 
matter-of-factly, and started to undress himself.  This surprised and pleased 
Marinda, for she figured if he wanted sex, he wouldn't beat her up first.  
Mike never had.  She couldn't understand that Ron wouldn't do any of the 
things to her that Mike regularly did, so destroyed was her mind and spirit.
        Ron lay down on the bed, and had her start sucking him.  She licked 
around the head, teasing with light, swift strokes of her tongue.  Then she 
ran her tongue from the base of his cock all the way to the tip.  Finally, she 
brought his prick into her mouth and started sucking.
        Ron enjoyed this, but it left him with little to do.  He formed his 
extension into its snake-like shape, and started to rub it across her tits.  
She froze for a moment, then realized it must have been him doing it, and sank 
into the wonderful sensation it was causing in her.  She resumed her sucking, 
vowing to make him come first. A few minutes later, she knew it was going to 
be a close one.  He moved his extension down to start rubbing across her clit. 
 She was sopping wet down there, and steamy hot.  She was writhing on the bed, 
having a hard time focussing on the task at hand.  Finally, she gave in, 
humming on his cock as her pussy contracted repeatedly, sending shivers up and 
down her spine.
        Her humming, however, sent shivers up and down Ron's cock.  He'd been 
doing okay till then, but her humming was just like a vibrator.  He couldn't 
hold back any longer, and gushed a load of sperm down her throat.  She 
swallowed it all, an amazing feat considering the orgasm she was still in the 
middle of, and kept sucking.
        When he was hard again, he retracted his extension, and she sat up.  
Ron indicated to her that he wanted her on all fours.  She complied, lifting 
her ass way into the air and laying her head on a pillow.  Ron pushed into 
her, marveling at how *hot* she was.  He established a steady pace, not too 
fast, but enough to keep them both breathing a little heavy.  He reached 
around and fondled her breasts.  They were big, and soft, with very large 
nipples.
        He tired of this position, and had her roll onto her back.  The tricky 
part was that he didn't pull out of her, and barely stopped fucking her long 
enough for her to do so.  He renewed his thrusts, even faster now.  Marinda 
was thrashing about in the midst of another orgasm below him, but he refused 
to slow the pace.  He kept up his thrusting until she came once more, and then 
changed positions again.  This time, she was lying on her side, with him 
behind her, holding up one of her legs to help with access.  Similar to the 
position he used with Dawn, but more aggressive, he wasn't slowing down for 
nobody now.  Finally, he felt he was nearing a time when he would be ready to 
come.  He decided he wanted her ass.  He rolled her onto her stomach, and he 
pulled her up to her knees.  He aimed his cock at her rosebud, and pushed.  
She grunted loudly in protest as his cock entered her ass.
        "AAArrggh!  Oh, shit that...."  She stopped, because she could no 
longer determine whether it hurt really bad, or felt really good.  Ron didn't 
care, either way.  He inserted himself all the way in, then set up a slow 
stroking.  As her bowels loosened up, he increased the tempo.  Soon, Marinda 
was grunting and moaning continuously, murmuring things that he mostly 
couldn't make out.  Occassionally, he'd hear, "Oh, yes!  More!  please More!"  
and he'd increase the pace just a little more.  He felt his own climax 
approaching.  He reached down and played with her clit as he fucked her ass.  
She screamed in orgasm and slammed back into him, squeezing his cock with her 
ass.
        That set Ron off, and he shot his load deep into her bowels.  He 
continued his thrusting until he was completely spent.  Slowly, his cock 
started to shrink inside of her.  He bent over and embraced her.  "I don't 
know what we're going to do about you, Marinda, but that sure was fun."
        Ron climbed down off the bed, and started to dress.  Marinda had 
rolled to her side, but otherwise wasn't moving.
        "Diane."
        "Hmm?"  Ron replied.
        "My name.  Marinda was something I made up.  My real name is Diane.  
Of course, if you'd prefer to call me Marinda, sir..."
        "No, I'd prefer Diane.  It's shorter.  Very well.  You may use the 
bathroom, and the small lounge next door.  There's a TV there, and some books. 
 Someone will be here with you all the time, until I decide what to do.  Don't 
worry, at worst, I'll simply have you leave the house, in the company of 
someone who can appreciate your talents.  I'll see you in the morning.  
Good-night, Diane."
        "Good-night, sir."

        Ron called for a Family meeting the next morning.  Megan, not having 
any say in the matter at all, was excused to keep an eye on Diane.
        Arranged around the room were all Ron's girls, Kumiko, Sandra, Dawn 
holding little Nathan, Nikki, Tammy, Jessica, Linda and Nancy.  Ron sat for a 
moment and stared.  'You know, as much as I sometimes hate having to deal with 
everything that comes up, to look around and see all these girls, and they all 
answer to me!  That's gotta be worth the trouble.'
        "Okay, I've called this meeting for the obvious reason.  We have a new 
guest in the house, one who has, in the past, been a danger to this Family.  I 
need to decide what to do about her, and I'm looking for opinions.  Feel free 
to voice yours now."
        Sandra immediately spoke up.  "I don't want her here.  She's a danger 
to us all.  What if she still has her powers?  What if James didn't do his job 
right?"  James would have had a coronary at that thought.
        "Mom, I've scanned her, okay?  She's not dangerous anymore.  Most 
importantly, she *cannot* live on her own.  We either keep her here, or I find 
someone who wants her."
        "Ron, as much as she isn't physically dangerous anymore, I think she 
may still have a strong emotional hold on those who were here during the 
attack."  Linda was speaking like her teacher-self now.  She continued, "I 
wasn't here, thankfully, when the Family was attacked.  My life in this house 
has been very pleasant.  I'm not sure that would continue to be the case if 
this lady were allowed to remain."  There seemed to be a general consensus of 
opinion.
        "Alright.  I'll accept that the Family doesn't want her here.  That 
only makes me ask another question:  What do I do with her?"
        Nobody seemed to have an answer to that one.  A couple of ideas were 
bandied about, but nothing sensible or practical.  Killing her was out of the 
question, and he couldn't just release her like a wild animal, either.  Then 
Ron remembered something he had seen once, when Bill had taken him to dinner.  
He had seen an older man sitting with a beautiful young woman, in her mid or 
early twenties.
        '"Who is that guy, Bill?"
        "That's a big oil-man.  Why?"
        "Great looking wife."  Bill laughed.  "What's so funny?"
        "That's not his wife.  That's his mistress.  She hangs around him 
because he's got money."
        "Doesn't his wife object?"
        "Not if she knows what's good for her.  That guy's divorced three 
other wives because they complained too much about his affairs."'

        'I wonder...  I'll have to call Bill in on this one.'
        "Okay, I have an idea, but I'm not sure it will work.  I will find a 
way to remove her from the house within the next few days.  Thank you all for 
your help.  Dismissed."  As the group broke up, Ron had Jessica tell Megan to 
bring Diane down.  He waited in the living room.
        Diane and Megan entered together.  Diane looked much better now than 
she had yesterday.  "Thank you Megan, that will be all.  Please, sit down, 
Diane."  Diane sat quietly on the sofa, wondering what would become of her.  
"We have just held a Family meeting.  As you might expect, the rest of the 
Family doesn't want you around."
        "I understand, sir.  What will you do to me?"
        "I haven't figured that out yet.  I'm going to talk to a friend of 
mine later today.  He may be able to find you a good home.  Please return to 
your room, and wait for me there."  Diane nodded and left.  Ron walked to the 
phone.
        "Hello, Mr. Chaffey to speak with Mr. Simmons, please.... Regarding?  
A business arrangement.... Yes, I'll hold."  Ron tapped his foot to the music 
for a total of about 5 seconds.
        "Ron, boy!  How the hell have you been!"
        "Just fine, Bill, just fine.  How are you and your wife?"
        "Great, great!  Hey, I just got one question for you."
        "Shoot."
        "I don't suppose there's anything you can do to make her get her tubes 
tied, huh?  I mean, I don't want them snipping around on me, and we don't want 
any more kids, but she won't get it done.  I don't guess there's anything you 
can do, is there?"
        "Maybe I can, Bill.  Look, Bill, there's another matter I need to 
discuss with you, but not on the phone.  Are you free for lunch today?"
        "For you, anytime.  Where is it this time?  The Remington again, 
or..."
        "No, I need you to come out to the house.  It won't be a waste of your 
time."  Ron promised.  Bill had never been disappointed yet.
        "Okay, no trouble.  What time?"
        "Whatever's good for you."
        "Around one?"
        "That's fine, I'll see you then."

        Bill showed up right on time, as usual.
        "Please come this way, Mr. Simmons."  Kumiko escorted him into the 
formal dining room, where a meal had been prepared by Nancy and Sandra.
        "Boy, this looks good!"  Bill sat down, and Ron joined him.  Kumiko 
and Megan provided service to the two men.  "Ron, you are living a charmed 
life, m'boy!"
        Ron accepted the compliment, and both men started on their appetizers. 
 "You said you were having trouble with your wife, not wanting to 'get 
fixed'."
        "Kind of a cruel term for it, but, yeah, that's the idea.  I don't 
suppose you could make her?"
        "Bring her by this evening, I think I can do better."  Bill, 
surprised, readily agreed to that.  "Now then, have we had any dissatisfied 
customers?"  Bill was basically managing Ron's "reorientation" business for 
him.
        "Nary a one.  Everyone's just pleased as punch."  Bill tended to speak 
in cliches, and it was annoying, but Ron lived with it.  "So, what's cooking 
today?"
        Kumiko served them their main dish, a Chicken Cordon Bleu.  "Thank 
you, Kumiko.  You are excused."  Ron watched her go.  So did Bill.
        "Man, what I wouldn't give to have someone like that walking around 
the house."
        "Exactly my point, though I hadn't intended to make it that way."  
Said Ron, "What *would* you give?"
        "Huh?"
        "To have something like that walking around your house, doing what you 
told her, being there whenever you wanted her?"
        "What're you gettin' at, Ron?"
        "Megan, please go get Diane."  Megan left to do as she was told.  "I'm 
talking about having...um,.... a pet.  Just one that walks on two legs."  
Diane and Megan entered the room just then.  "Bill, this is Diane.  Diane, 
please greet Bill."
        Upon hearing the key phrase, Diane went over, sat in his lap, and 
wrapped her arms around him.  "Hello, sir."  She said in a husky voice.  Bill 
was having a very difficult time breathing.  The outfit Ron had chosen for 
Diane wasn't concealing very much, and Bill was getting an eyeful.
        "Wow!  Ron, just what is going on here?"
        "Well, see Bill, it's like this.  Some time ago, Diane there tried to 
hurt my Family.  So, similar to what I've been doing in our business, I made 
some modifications to Diane's personality.  Now, she is a completely 
submissive slave to whomever is designated as her owner.  Nice idea, but, you 
see, I already have enough, and the Family doesn't want her around, she brings 
back bad memories and such."
        "Well.  I don't think Mary would much care for me bringing a brand new 
pet female home with me..."
        "That could be fixed, no problem, or, do you know someone you'd like 
to owe us a favor?  Or someone who might be willing to pay the kind of money 
Diane is so obviously worth?"
        "You mean... you want to... Sell her?"
        "Whatever works.  It's not like anything we've done together has been, 
strictly speaking, legal, Bill."
        "Good point.  Can I make some phone calls?"
        "Absolutely.  Diane, let the man up."  Diane removed herself, and 
Kumiko led Bill to the telephone.
        "How'd it go?"  questioned Sandra, after Bill had left.
        "I think OK.  He's making some calls now."

        In the end, it turned out Bill did have a friend who was looking for a 
'faithful companion' who didn't talk back.
        "He's willing to pay $2 million for her."
        'Geez!  2 mil' for a woman I don't really like anyway!  This could be 
a really profitable business.'  "Sold.  When will he be able to pick her up?"
        "First thing this evening, when he gets off work.  He wanted to know 
how he should pay you."
        "However he likes.  I still pay taxes, just like everyone else.  No 
need to tell them WHY he paid me, though."
        "Good show.  Alright, just one other thing: what does she have to 
bring with her?"
        "Just a few sets of clothes, nothing else.  He'll have to provide 
whatever else he wants her to have.  Oh, and there is one rule I didn't 
mention before.  She is still my responsibility so, if he beats her hard 
enough that she needs medical attention, I will reclaim her, without any form 
of refund."
        "Understood.  I don't think he's that type anyway, but I'll tell him."
        Ron and Bill shook hands, and Bill went back to work.
        Sandra, Nancy, and Linda were sitting in the kitchen having coffee 
together.  "Well," said Ron as he walked in, "That's taken care of.  Now, we 
just have to worry about dealing with whatever it is that's coming on the 
horizon."
        "What do you mean, Ron?" asked Linda.
        "What Diane has told me leads me to believe that there is trouble for 
our Family, but I don't know when it's coming, or from where.  We need to be 
ready."
        "How do we get ready?" queried Nancy.
        "I'm not sure, but we'll have to think of something."

Chapter 5: New Losses, New Threats

        For the next several months, Ron was focussed on finding a way to 
protect his Family.  He knew time was not on his side.  Sooner or later, the 
men that he saw, more and more frequently now, would attack his home.  'If 
they do, they die.'   Ron didn't even bother tutoring in his Sophomore year, 
so intent on preparing for the upcoming fight was he.
        However, as time wore on, it became less evident that there was a 
danger.  Ron knew that they might be waiting for him to drop his guard.  'But, 
I can't stay alert like this forever, can I?'  So, about the middle of Spring, 
Ron decided to pick back up on some of his business ventures.
        "Bill?"  Ron had called him at home this time.
        "Ron?  Is that you?"
        "Yeah.  Sorry we haven't spoken in a while.  I'm just calling to let 
you know I'll be accepting business again."
        "Great!  How soon do you want to start?  I've got a list here 
waiting."
        "Oh, send one over to me tomorrow night.  That'll give me time to get 
ready."
        "No problem.  Great to hear from you, guy.  I was starting to worry."
        "Thanks, Bill.  We'll have to get together for lunch sometime.  See 
ya."  And Ron hung up.  'It *has* been a while.  Ever since Diane left, I 
really have focussed heavily on training me and the Family.  Karen is good; 
I'd guess she's at a psion-5 or -6 already.  Michelle is good at defense, and 
pretty good with other stuff, I'd bet she's a psion-7 by now.  Kumiko is 
finally getting the hang of her necklace.  I hadn't realized how draining that 
would be.  I hope we won't need it, but it's good to remember it's there.'
        The rest of the Family had similarly adapted to the situation.  Nathan 
was growing up to be a very healthy young boy, already a year old, and smart 
as a whip.  Dawn doted over him more or less constantly while she was home, 
and Megan looked after her during the day, while the others were at school.  
Sometimes Ron wondered why he made the others continue in school, but then 
decided he didn't want stupid slaves.  Nikki and Tammy were damn near 
inseparable, and Ron thought that a good thing, since it meant they always had 
each other for protection.  Jessica and Megan took everything in stride, doing 
as their master wished.  Kumiko was... well, Kumiko.  Nothing seemed to affect 
her, though Ron knew differently.  He had chosen well the leader of his 
Family.  Kumiko was thoughtful and considerate.  Never jumping to a 
conclusion, and always willing to listen, she handled most of the disputes in 
the Family now, so that Ron didn't have to bother with them.  Life had settled 
into a comfortable rut, with the slight edge that Ron kept on it with his 
paranoia.  'But even paranoids have enemies.'

        Ron's newest subject arrived at 7:00, as was the usual time for this 
sort of appointment.  Ron had dropped the subterfuge, and now all his 
customers simply told their wives they were going to see a counselor.  Women 
seemed more ready to accept the idea of a counselor than Ron himself would 
have been.  It was Bill's idea, and a good one.
        This lady was attractive, but not overly so.  Standing 5'4" tall, with 
curly dark blonde hair and green eyes, she had a nice, if not abundant, chest, 
and slender legs.  She was trim and fit, but obviously not an athlete.  She 
was sort of the "average healthy American woman" idea.  It made her look 
pretty good.
        "Please, Mrs. Rector, come on in.  The doc will be with you shortly."  
Ron's addition to the cover was that he was simply an office assistant, since 
he was far too young to be the doctor.  He escorted the woman to the room he 
used as an 'office', and asked her to sit down.  He made to busy himself at 
the desk arranging a folder, presumably hers, but was really beginning his 
job.
        This one, though, was a problem.  She was a psionic.  Or, more 
correctly, a latent psionic.  'This late in life, I doubt she'll ever find 
it.'  But, it was a problem.  He couldn't seem to make the modifications he 
wanted to in her.  The manual said messing with latents was okay, so long as 
you didn't prematurely awaken their ability.  'Nothing premature about this 
one.'  Ron dug deeper into her mind.
        After about five minutes, she started to fidget.  She wasn't blanked 
out like most people.  'I've got to find a way to get her completely under.'  
Then he realized that it was her Ability Sphere that was interfering with the 
process.  'Isn't there some way I can get rid of that thing?  I don't know how 
to remove it.... I wonder if I can block it?'  
        Ron made a couple of abortive attempts, envisioning blankets, or bags. 
 Finally, he created a hollow black sphere that he clamped around her Ability 
Sphere.  This effectively blocked out her Sphere from the rest of her brain.  
She gave a jolt, and, on further inspection, Ron could tell she was now 
'under'.  Now Ron could set about his business.  Five minutes later, the 
mental part of the procedure was complete.
        It took the woman a few extra minutes to recover.  Ron wondered if she 
would notice her missing Ability Sphere.  She had never made use of it, but it 
was a part of her, and it was now, well, not *missing*, but certainly clouded.
        "Okay, Mrs. Rector, just relax.  We're almost through here.  Now, I 
want you to stand up and remove all your clothes."
        Mrs. Rector stood and reached up to her blouse.  She unbuttoned it 
without a word, staring right at Ron the whole time.  As she reached the last 
button, she licked her lips.  'She's already hot!  What did I do.... Oh!  
hmm... that could be a problem.'  The lady had reached behind her, and removed 
her bra.  Her breasts jiggled slightly as they were freed from their confines.
        Mrs. Rector, whose first name was Carol, then moved her hands from her 
breasts slowly down her sides until she reached her waist.  She undid the 
fasteners on her skirt, and let it drop to the floor.  She bent down to remove 
her heels, and Ron watched as her tits swung free with the movement.  Carol 
was wearing panties over pantyhose,  but not for long.  She quickly pulled her 
panties down and off.  For the pantyhose, she turned her back to Ron.  She 
rolled them down past her waist, then slowly worked them down to her knees, 
bending over  and giving Ron a pretty nice view.
        Next, she sat back down in the chair to finish removing them.  She 
rolled them down each leg, slowly, seductively, enticing Ron to her.  'Not 
yet, Carol.  Not yet.'  Finally, she pulled the hose the final way off.  She 
stood back up, and turned around fully to show her body to Ron.
        "Okay, very nice Carol.  Now, come on over here, and start removing my 
clothes."  Carol was happy to oblige.  She sauntered over to Ron, and first 
gave him a very nice kiss, which he returned.  She was rubbing his chest, and 
then started slowly undoing the buttons on his shirt.  He was wearing his good 
clothes, to appear more like the assistant he was supposed to be.  She worked 
her way down, kissing flesh as it appeared.  When she'd gotten it fully 
unbuttoned, she kissed her way back up, and plunged her tongue into his mouth 
as she pulled it off of his arms.  She continued the kiss as she undid his 
belt and his pants.
        They broke the kiss as she knelt to pull his pants down.  She removed 
his shoes, socks, and his pants then.  All that was left were his briefs, and 
these were soon removed as well.  The woman needed no further instruction, as 
she sucked his entire length into her mouth.  'Oh, shit!  Damn that feels 
good!'
        Carol went to town on his shaft, sucking and slurping away as she used 
her tongue to massage his cock as it moved in and out.  Ron played with her 
breasts as she brought him closer and closer to coming.  Soon, he let out a 
grunt, and a load of sperm splashed down her throat.  She continued sucking 
until she had every last drop of his come.  Then she sucked him some more, 
until he was fully hard again.  It didn't take long, she'd gotten him horny 
enough.
        Ron pulled her up, and laid her onto the desk.  He placed her legs on 
his shoulders, and his dick at her entrance.  He thrust into her, full length 
on the first stroke.  She was already more than moist enough to take it, and 
let out only a moan of pleasure.  Ron kept up a frantic pace, thrusting into 
her as fast as he could.  It wasn't but a minute or so before she had her 
first orgasm, thrashing her head from side to side and growling like an 
animal.  Ron kept up his plunging, trying to go even faster.  Carol had orgasm 
after orgasm, building in intensity.  Soon, Ron wasn't sure if he could keep 
her on the desk.
        During one of her relative lulls, he grabbed her up into his arms, and 
brought her down to the floor.  Not quite as comfortable as the desk, Carol 
didn't even notice.  She began uttering little encouragements to Ron.  "Fuck 
me!  Make me cum!  Come on, stud, screw your whore!"
        Ron was happy to do as she asked.  He renewed his thrusting, now with 
a different angle into her pussy.  It wasn't long before she was orgasming yet 
again.  One after another, it seemed she would never stop.
        Ron started to feel his own climax building, and so figured it was 
time to make her have "The Big One", if he could figure out how with this 
lady.  He pummelled into her as fast as he could, then reached down with one 
hand and twisted her nipple.  She groaned in ecstasy, but she wasn't there 
yet.  He moved that hand down and started frigging her clit back and forth.  
That got her going, she was trembling all over, and bucking back onto his cock 
with all her strength.  All of a sudden, her body froze, back arched, and she 
let out a long, "OOhhhhhhhhh, YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!".
        Her pussy was clamped down on his prick hard enough to squeeze the 
life out of it, but it was definitely pleasant enough to send him over the 
edge.  He pushed in as far as he could go and held it, grunting out his own 
orgasm.

        Later, while Carol was getting dressed, Ron called Mr. Rector.
        "Mr. Rector?  Ron Chaffey.  Your wife's treatment is complete, but 
there was a complication.  No, sir, your wife is... fine, I think I'll have to 
explain when you get here.  Yes sir.  Thank you."

        Mr. Rector arrived twenty minutes later.  It was all Ron could do to 
keep Carol's hands off himself.
        "So, what's the problem, Ron?"  Mr. Rector wanted to know.
        "Well, sir..." Carol had attached herself to her husband, and was 
openly rubbing his crotch.  Mr. Rector looked at her in some surprise, then at 
Ron for an explanation.
        "This is the problem, sir.  Normally this doesn't happen.  Your wife 
is a special case, and some unusual measures were necessary.  I can change her 
back..."
        "You do, and I'll ruin your reputation in this town!"  Mr. Rector said 
with a laugh.  "I don't see a problem, Ron!"  
        "Well, sir, she's probably going to be like this 'all of the time.'"
        "So?  Can you make it so that she won't whine and bitch when I don't 
want to?"
        "Already done, sir.  That's part of the normal treatment."
        "Then, I don't see a problem, so long as I can make her go away when I 
need to do business."
        "Also part of the normal treatment.  Well, if you're happy with things 
as they are, Mr. Rector, then I don't guess we have a problem.  But, if at any 
time in the future, you wish me to make some modifications to make her... 
more.... controlled, just let Bill know, and there won't be any additional 
charge."
        "That's right nice of you Ron.  I'll keep that in mind.  This kind of 
makes me wish I had TWO wives!"  Mr. Rector shook his hand, and left, taking 
Carol with him, thank God.  'Two wives?  Hmmm.   Let's think about that plan 
for a little bit more...'

        As spring progressed into summer, Ron sensed a feeling of unease 
building around the Family, but he couldn't seem to put a finger on the 
problem.  He tried to ignore it, and devote himself to his studies.

        Near the end of the school year, Ron attended his own Sophomore Hop, 
and, as surprised no one, ran the sound system.  He had learned many things 
since that first time, and now he could anticipate problems before they even 
started to arise.  He wasn't much of a dancer, and he'd come alone anyway, so 
he just hung around the periphery of the dance floor.
        A slow dance came up, but Ron was looking out the door at the forming 
thunderclouds.  They were building up to a mighty storm.  Ron couldn't help 
feeling the same thing was happening all around him.  Then he felt a hand on 
his arm.  He turned to see Michelle.
        "Hi, Michelle.  You look great!"
        "Hey, Ron.  You haven't moved from this spot for the last half hour."
        "You're supposed to be paying attention to your date, not timing my 
movements." Ron chided.
        "I don't have a date.  So, you want to dance?"
        Now, dancing was really the last thing Ron wanted to do, but he didn't 
want to hurt her feelings.  "Okay, but I'm not really any good.  I've got 
three left feet."
        "That's okay, it's a slow dance.  You don't have to do much more than 
sway back and forth."  She took his hand and led him out to the middle of the 
floor.  She turned to face him, and laid her head on his shoulder, wrapping 
her arms around his neck.  He placed his arms around her, and they started to 
dance, more of a meandering, cumbersome walk than anything.  It was more 
enjoyable than Ron would have guessed, just being close to someone, holding 
them and moving in time to the music.
        "Why didn't you come with a boyfriend?" Ron asked her.
        "Nobody interested me.  Not that way, anyhow.  You know, Ron, you're 
the closest thing I've ever had to a boyfriend."
        That made Ron blush.  "Michelle, we've never even been out on a proper 
date, let alone done any of that other boy-girl stuff."  Not that it might not 
be nice, mind you...
        "Well, we could fix that, couldn't we?"
        "What do you mean?"
        "I'm not much for dances, either.  I came because my Mom expected me 
to.  Why don't we ditch this place, and you take me on a walk by the lake?"
        "Alright."  It sounded fine to Ron.  He cordially despised social 
functions of most kinds, and had come only because he had to run the sound for 
them.
        The two teenagers exited the building and walked into the woods behind 
the school.  It was only a short distance to the lake, for which the school 
had been named.  No one else was around. 'I guess it's too early for that 
yet.'  The lake was a favored spot for making out after dances and such, but 
the kids would normally wait until the dance was almost over.  Just now, it 
was very peaceful here.  Out of some kind of instinct, Ron took Michelle's 
hand.
        They walked for a long time, talking about a lot of things, but 
avoiding the really personal questions they both wanted to ask.  Finally, they 
walked on in silence.  Ultimately, Michelle couldn't stand the silence.
        "Ron, what do you feel toward me?"  This was the kind of question they 
had been studiously avoiding all evening.
        "I don't know, Michelle.  I'm really rather confused about the whole 
thing.  Why do you ask?"
        "Well, I mean, you have all those women at your house.  And you once 
told me that you loved Kumiko.  How can you love them all?"
        "That's not hard.  I love them all differently.  Of course, for some, 
it isn't love.  I don't love Jessica, for instance, or Megan.  I care for them 
a lot, but I don't love them.  Of course, Mom, and my sisters, that's 
different."
        "But what about Kumiko?"
        "Well, I used to think I loved her, and she used to think the same 
about me, but... I don't know.  I guess it was just a passing infatuation or 
something.  I mean, I still love her, I guess, but not the same way as I 
thought.  Now, she's really just the headmistress of the house.  That keeps 
her real busy, and I trust her to do it right, but we don't really talk much 
anymore.  I've said more to you tonight than I've said to Kumiko all week."  
Ron didn't understand why Michelle squeezed his hand tighter just then.
        "And Karen?"
        "Karen is just a student.  She and I have never gotten together at 
all.  She doesn't even seem to be interested in sex, even with as much of it 
as goes on at my house."
        "What about Mrs. Hayes and Ms. Ford?"
        "Well, they're.... different.  Again, I don't think I *love* either of 
them.  I turn to them when I need advice, or some sort of help.  They're 
wonderful, both of them, but I could do without them if I had to.  Not that I 
want to, but...."  He trailed off, and turned to Michelle.  "Why the third 
degree, Michelle?"
        She stared off into space for a moment.  'What is she thinking?  Damn, 
I wish I could scan her.'  Protocol wouldn't allow him to do that without 
asking.  In time, she turned to face him.  "Ron, in another four weeks, I'll 
be leaving for CAMP, just like you did two years ago.  When I come back, I'll 
have slaves of my own, so you've said.  That's fine, for the sex and all, but 
what about the emotional part?"
        "I don't understand."
        "My family doesn't know anything about my Ability.  They wouldn't get 
it, and I'm not skilled enough to make them act like your family does.  You 
have a beautiful life.  You're satisfied in all areas, physical and emotional. 
 I guess I'm just jealous."  She turned her head away before her voice broke.  
Ron could see the tears glinting in the moonlight.  He pulled her to him, and 
wrapped his arms around her.
        "What are you trying to ask me, Mickey?"  He'd never called her that 
before, as much as he'd wanted to, because he'd thought it made her sound too 
much like a little girl (or a mouse).  Now it just rolled naturally off his 
tongue.  She hugged him back when she heard it.
        "I need you, Ron.  You're the only one I've been able to come to for 
help, for advice.  Not just about this Thing inside my head.  You've always 
been willing to listen to me ramble on about my problems at school, at home, 
or whatever."
        "But I've never been very helpful at finding solutions..."
        "You didn't have to be.  You helped just by listening.  Promise me 
that I can always come to you?"  She was weeping openly now.
        "Of course, you can, Mickey.  I'll always be here for you."  She 
looked into his eyes, and saw the truth there.  He brought his mouth onto 
hers, and they kissed.

        "Hello, may I ask who you are?"  Kumiko was answered with a rough 
shove backwards.
        "Where is Nathan Chaffey?"  The man demanded.
        "Who?"  In her confusion, the name did not register with Kumiko.
        "Nathan Conrad Chaffey, you stupid bitch!"
        "What do you want with my son?"  Dawn demanded from across the room.  
She felt herself flying against the wall, pushing over lamps and furniture as 
she flew.  Each jolt bruised her, hurt her, but the man didn't care.  She 
impacted the wall, breaking her arm in the process.  She slumped to the floor, 
unconscious.
        Kumiko, having recovered from the initial invasion, fell back on the 
procedure her Master had taught her.  First job, contact him.  She hoped it 
would work.  'Master, this is Kumiko.  Come quickly, there is trouble.'  That 
was all she needed to say.  Kumiko never left the house unless in the company 
of her Master, so he knew where she was.
        Next job was to look after the child.  Nathan's life was more 
important than her own.  She summoned what abilities she could from the 
necklace, and formed a barrier around herself.  Then she ran for the stairs.
        The man saw her running, and sent an extension after her, but it 
floated around her as if she weren't there.  'What the hell?  She's not a 
psionic!  Bozhe moy!'  The second man joined him from out front.  They spoke 
in Russian.
        "The man is not here yet."
        "He will come.  He must be aware the family is in danger.  We must 
kill the child before he arrives."
        "Da, tovarishch."
        They made their way up the stairs, where the entire family was now 
huddled.  They were in a layered defense, as Ron had taught them.  
Unfortunately, this put the weakest of them, his younger sister and Tammy, 
first on the list.  They had both had a good deal of self-defense training in 
the last year, but Karate is no match for a psion-13 Talent with a mission.  
When they reached the top of the stairs, Tammy managed to knock one down with 
a roundhouse kick to the stomach, but Nikki missed with hers.
        The man still standing grabbed Nicole and threw her against the wall.  
He used his extension to throw Tammy down the stairs.  She was knocked 
unconscious by the impact.  Blood flowed from abrasions on her face and arms.  
Nikki was still conscious, and she tried another attack, but this, too, was 
warded off with 'kinesis.  She was sent flying through a closed door, and she 
lay motionless on the floor of her bedroom.
        Jessica and Megan were the next line of defense, but they would fare 
no better than their predecessors.  Megan wielded a large knife, but got 
nowheres near her target.  Not being able to control the subject, one of the 
men controlled the knife, and attempted to plunge it into her stomach.  She 
had enough strength to fight it off, but not before it slashed her rather 
badly across the abdomen.  Bleeding heavily, she fainted from lack of blood.
        Jessica wasn't that lucky.  She was carrying a baseball bat, and 
managed to connect, but the man had up a kinetic shield, and it bounced off 
him with little effect.  He swung his arm and backhanded her, breaking through 
another door with her body.  The baseball bat had stung enough to make him 
angry.  His extension picked her up, and flung her through the outside window, 
shattering glass and splintering wood along the way.  She was in critical 
condition long before she hit the ground, some 15 feet below.
        Sandra, Nancy, and Linda knew that their stance was useless.  There 
was nothing they could do to stop these men.  They were only buying 'time', 
hoping that Ron would arrive soon.  Similar to their friends, the ladies fell 
to the power of these two men.  Soon they were standing outside the door to 
little Nathan's room.  Inside stood his last line of defense: Kumiko, with her 
necklace, and Karen.  The K-team, they had taken to calling themselves.  They 
feared they were not strong enough to win the day.
        The door splintered before the men.  Karen and Kumiko prepared to do 
battle, and Nathan started crying.  The bigger man forced a wall of pure 
energy at them.  Kumiko and Karen were able to protect Nathan, but not the 
wall behind them.  It fragmented into billions of tiny pieces, raining down 
into the yard.  In the distance, thunder rolled.

        Ron was sitting against a tree, Michelle in his arms.  They had made 
love here, quietly, sweetly.  In a way he had known, and forgotten, the 
tenderness of that emotion, 'love', added unfathomable depth to the act.  They 
were watching the storm roll in when it hit Ron.  It nearly knocked him over, 
so strong was the message.  Michelle, startled, sat up and then leaned over 
him.
        "Ron?  Are you alright?  Ron!"  His face had grown pale, she couldn't 
tell with fright or anger, and she was almost afraid to know which.  "What's 
wrong?!"
        Ron spoke quietly.  "I have to go now.  The Family needs me."
        "I'll go with you."  She offered.
        "That will put you in greater danger than you need be in now, Mickey."
        "Let me worry about that, okay?  If they're gonna come after me sooner 
or later, well, at least this way I get to pick the day."
        "Okay, thank you.  Get dressed, we'll have to fly there."
        Michelle got dressed, and they lifted off.  Michelle couldn't make 
herself invisible, but Ron grabbed her hand, and then they were both 
invisible.  Flying in formation was difficult, but they managed.  They arrived 
from behind the house, to see a missing wall, and at least one person lying on 
the ground.
        "Oh, my God..."  Michelle had no words for the moment, but Ron did.
        "Bastards.  They're going to pay for this."

        Karen and Kumiko had fended off the first couple of attacks, but both 
their strengths were failing, and they just weren't up to facing two psionics 
of this level.  Kumiko feared that she would draw down too much on Ron's 
power, and so she was not as much help as she could have been.  Karen was 
good, but she just wasn't up to the exercise.  Slowly, inexorably, they were 
pushed toward the edge.  With one mighty shove, they were over, and falling.  
One of the men swooped, and grabbed, and had the child.
        Just then, lightning flashed, and thunder rolled, but... did it?  It 
seemed awfully close.  They were standing on the grass, looking at the three 
people lying there on the ground.
        "Kill the baby, now, Comrade!"
        "Let that child go now, or I will pulverize your skull!"  The voice 
was the sound of thunder, but it emanated from... everywhere.
        "Who speaks?  What is this!"
        The one not holding the child flew back, and smashed into the outside 
wall of the house.  The facade, even in back, was brick, and very painful to 
get smashed into.  The man staggered forward, in obvious pain.  The other man 
released the child, who started wailing and running in no particular 
direction.
        In front of the child appeared two people.  He was scared at first, 
until he realized they were his Uncle Ron, and Miss Michelle.  Michelle bent 
down, and Nathan ran to her.  The man, remembering his mission, sent waves of 
energy at her, but Michelle was fresh, and better than Karen, and royally 
pissed off.  She flicked his energy off like rain drops.  "Go to hell, you 
bastard!"
        Ron, not having moved from where he had appeared, walked over to where 
the K-team was lying.  Both looked up at him, wounded, but okay, or so they 
said with their eyes.  He next walked over to Jessica, who wasn't moving.  He 
bent down to look, and saw a large piece of glass run through her neck.  'NO!' 
 Ron screamed internally, but that wasn't good enough.  What came out his 
mouth was the kind of blood-curdling howl that horror film directors only 
dream about.  The utter hatred and anger that bubbled out of Ron became a 
physical entity, rising up from his body, it took the form of a dragon, some 
fifteen feet tall.  Ethereal, with no real substance, it could not be harmed.  
However, it could do fearsome damage to its enemies.
        "How dare you harm my Family, you cocksucking bastards!"
        "Yob tvoyu m'aht!"  Screamed one of the Russians.
        "Fuck your own mother, asshole!" replied Ron, and the dragon advanced 
on the two men.  Pure, hostile energy cannot be stopped, nor can you defend 
against it.  The first man, the man who had already been slammed against the 
wall, felt Ron's wrath first.  The dragon grabbed him up, and pulled him 
inside.  The very furnaces of hell could not have been worse except for their 
longevity, for this man's life was not long for this world.  After seconds his 
body burst into flames, and was consumed in a matter of moments, until not 
even ash remained.
        The remaining man, seeing this, was terrified.  Ron advanced on him.  
"You are the one who did this!"  He indicated the dead form of Jessica on the 
ground.  The fear in the man's eyes was his answer.  "Now you play the game 
with the big boys, asswipe!"  With that, a terrible snapping was heard.
        That sound was immediately followed by the Russian's shriek of utter 
pain and holy terror, as Ron began to break every bone in the man's body, 
starting with his feet and hands, and working toward the center.  The man's 
cries continued and grew in intensity as Ron cracked each vertebrae, without 
severing the spinal cord, since that would allow for an easement of the man's 
suffering.  "I know you can hear me!"  Ron shouted, speaking not to the man, 
but to whomever sent him.  "Your men have failed!  I will win this battle!  If 
you can't play with the big boys, get off the goddamned field!"  And, with 
that pronouncement, the man's skull shattered, fragmenting into pieces small 
enough that a microscope would be needed to see them.  Lifeless, what remained 
of his body slumped to the ground.  The dragon, as terrifying as it had been, 
dissipated instantly.  The trouble gone, now was not the time for rage, but 
the time for concern.  His Family needed him now.

        It was several weeks later, and school was out.  The eerie feeling 
still surrounded his Family.  He couldn't place it, just couldn't figure it 
out.  Then, one day, the question answered itself.
        Kumiko knocked on his office door.  "Master?  Are you busy?"
        "Not really, Kumiko.  What is it?"
        She came fully into the room, followed by Dawn.  Dawn was a little the 
worse for wear.  She still had her arm in a cast, and some of the bruises were 
still visible, though they were fading.  She sat down in the chair, lifeless 
and limp.  She hadn't been the same since that night.  Nobody had, and it 
pissed Ron off that he couldn't fix this.
        "What's up, guys?"
        There was no easy way to say what needed saying, and so, Dawn couldn't 
bring herself to say anything at all.  Kumiko stood besider her, trying to 
give her encouragement and strength.  Finally, she muttered something, but Ron 
couldn't make it out.
        "What?  I can't hear you.  Dawn, what the hell is the matter?"  Ron 
was still a bit testy, as he had yet to come to terms with his losses in the 
battle.  Jessica was a devastating blow, but she was not the only casualty.  
Nancy was still in the hospital, not yet recovered from the damage done.  
Megan had almost died from lack of blood, had she not gotten to a hospital 
when she did, she would have died most surely.  Not a single Family member 
except him had escaped unscathed from this battle, and he was still angry that 
he had, 'again', failed to protect them.
        Dawn shook her head, and apparently came to a decision.  She 
straightened her shoulders and said, "Ron, I want to leave."
        "Huh?  You came in here-"
        "Not the room.  I want to leave this house.  I want to leave the 
family.  It's time for me to move out on my own.  I can't live like this, not 
knowing what's going to happen to Nathan from day to day.  The people who are 
after you are dangerous, Ron.  They almost killed my son!  I don't want to 
raise him in this atmosphere."
        Ron sat in stunned silence.  He'd already lost one Family member, with 
one more still in the hospital, and here were two more trying to run away from 
him.
        "No."  That was all he could utter.  Dawn stiffened, but Kumiko, wise 
young woman that she was, had been expecting this.
        "Master, may I speak?"  Ron nodded, and she did, for almost a half 
hour, which was the longest she had ever spoken in one setting.  In the end, 
it was her love of the family that won out.
        "Very well, I know you're right Kumiko, but that doesn't make it any 
easier.  Dawn, you may leave, and you can take Nathan with you BUT..."  Dawn 
stiffened again, not knowing what was coming.  "You may NOT tell him about his 
uncle until he is at least fourteen.  If you choose to leave now, there will 
be no personal contact between you and the rest of the Family, ever."  He 
hoped this would dissuade her, because he really didn't want her to go.
        She sat for perhaps a minute, maybe more, and then nodded her head.  
"Very well, Ron.  If that's how you want it.  I'm sorry, I just can't live 
here anymore."
        "I will find you an apartment, and I will pay the bills for a year.  
After that, you're on your own.  You're a high-school graduate, and you could 
probably go to college if you so chose.  If you do, I will pay for it.  
Otherwise, I'd advise you to get a job.  Good-bye, Dawn.  Never forget that 
your brother loves you."  He came around and gave her a kiss, and a hug.  He 
whispered some instructions to Kumiko, and then he left.

        He found Michelle out in the woods behind his house.  He had been 
looking for her for about twenty minutes.
        "Here you are."  Ron slumped down beside her.
        "Looking for me?"  She asked.  She wasn't feeling wonderful about 
herself, either.  'Lot of good I did for my friend.'  Ron had never blamed 
her, but that only made it worse.
        "Dawn's leaving."  That brought her around a bit.
        "What?  Where's she going?"
        "I don't know.  She says she can't stay here anymore.  She's taking 
Nathan with her."
        "Oh, Ron, I'm so sorry."  And she was.  She reached out to him, and he 
hugged her tightly.  Then her own tears started, for her own ills and fears, 
and in sympathy for a friend who was hurting.  They wept together for some 
time, until, as if their tears were washing away the hurt, there just wasn't 
any emotion left.  But nature abhors a vacuum, and such a void must be filled 
with *something*.
        Ron looked into Michelle's eyes, and then kissed her warmly.  She 
responded, and then he laid her back onto the ground.  The ground here was 
covered with pine needles, and so made a fairly soft thicket.  Ron continued 
his kisses, while he moved his hand to caress her breasts.  Tenderly he 
massaged them, kneading first one and then the other, back and forth for a 
long time.  Michelle was massaging his back, rubbing her hands up and down.  
Then they each started pulling at the other's shirt.  Soon, they were both 
barechested.  Still kissing, but with more passion, they were working at each 
other's jeans.  In their heat, they managed to get them off without tearing 
them apart.  Ron sat up, and pulled her to him.  She was sitting in his lap, 
his cock nestled between them.  She ground her pubes in tight circles to 
arouse him further.
        Sensing his readiness, and her own, she lifted herself up, and he 
positioned his cock at her entrance.  Slowly she lowered herself down onto his 
shaft.  It was a wonderful feeling, being filled by his hard, throbbing 
manhood, the cock of a man she could trust.  It is a unique feeling, the one 
of complete and utter trust in another human being, and rare.  She trusted 
Ron, and so the feeling was intensified.  She rode his cock for all she was 
worth.  As her legs tired, they switched positions, so he was on top.  He 
pushed into her at a feverish pace.  They were both in heaven.  The emotions 
they had both tied up inside were releasing themselves.  They had poured out 
their hearts to each other, and now they were giving of their bodies.  Their 
forms melded together as if they became one organic unit, undulating back and 
forth.  
        Soon, they both started to reach their peak.  Their bodies were so in 
tune with each other that their breathing and heart rate had synced.  Ron 
pushed, and Michelle pushed, Ron moaned, and Michelle mewled.  Ron grunted, 
and Michelle shrieked.  Faster, faster, higher, higher they went, until 
finally, in utter pleasure, they both came, grunting and moaning and panting 
and sweating and spasming, until they were both completely exhausted.  There 
they lay, in each other's arms, and slept.
