Chapter 4 starts
now…
(8:00 A)
Wake up, hit
the restroom, eat breakfast, go to Brent’s office, find out
more on the masker and charging station, set the charging station
in my office, make sure I have my Id’s and paper work in order,
put the masker in my pocket, ‘pop’ to Jive.
<Jive building-parking
area>
Walk in and talk
to the receptionist, she calls Steve and has him come to the
front desk, he leads he to his office, he sits down behind his
desk and leaves me standing, I think ‘Ok…this is going
to be fun.’ We start talking, I can tell he hates me coming
into help, he thinks I want to steel his thunder. A half hour
later I get tired of his bull. ‘Ok… lets stop the this shit
now, I was asked by Doug and N sync to help, that is HELP not
take over, their protection. But I will take over if I have
to. Get Doug down here now!’ ‘I will when I think it is necessary,
not before.’ ‘Well we’ve wasted a half hour, I’ve tried to be
nice and come up with a way to do this to both our satisfaction
but all you do is come up with ways to block them. I’m tired
of hearing a jackass bray about how he can do it all with out
me, and I am tired after the trip here and of you, so why don’t
you do as I asked and call him now?’ ‘ What do you mean?’
‘Doug this is Bob from A&A, would you come down to Steve’s
office before you have to find a new head of security.’
5 min. later
Doug comes in. ‘What’s going on in here?’ ‘Well Doug I came
here to talk to Steve about organizing the protection for N
sync. All he has done is tell me he can do it better than I
can, and every time I tried to suggest any thing he would insult
my intelligence and tell me I didn’t have any idea what I was
talking about. I was told all about him before I came here so
I let it slide for a half hour, but enuff is enuff. Does A&A
help or do we take over protection of N sync and any other groups
or singers I rescue, Or do we just buy Jive and do a little
house cleaning?’ ‘Bob lets go to my office and talk about this
please.’
<Doug’s office>
We sit down and
talk like gentlemen, in less than 15 min. we have everything
set up, as I go get all the passes my people and I will need
I ‘hear’ a one sided conversation. Steve is told one more stunt
like this one and he is gone. Smiling I go to the parking area
and ‘pop’ back to my office.
<Back at the
Complex>
Grab a cup of
coffee, sit down and call Roger and tell him how the meeting
went, and the threat I had used, ‘I was wondering if you were
going to have do that, good job, talk to you later.’ ‘Later
Roger.’ Relax for a few. ‘Pat…how are they doing?’ ‘Almost
done, they’ve been at it hot and heavy for close to an hour
now.’ ‘Tell them I’ll have a table saved for them, you can join
us if you want.’ ‘Sounds good, see you in about 15 min.’ ‘Ok
I’m headed over now, see you then.’
Go to the kitchen,
get lunch, go to the dining area and save a large table. Pat
comes in smiling, N sync and their trainers come in looking
a little haggard. ‘From that smile Pat, it looks like you put
them through there paces, level 2?’ ‘Yeah…level 2, I should
go to level 3 this afternoon.’ <groan> ‘Nah…Pat level
5.’ <Pat and I laugh> ‘No Pat, remember they have a concert
tomorrow, so maybe level 1.5, they look tired already.’ ‘Oh…ok…I’ll
be nice to them this afternoon.’
After we finish
eating, we relax for a little while, take the trays to the kitchen.
‘Hey Julie do you have a min.?’ ‘Yes I do.’ ‘Ok guys I’ll catch
up with you in a while.’ After they leave. ‘Julie tell your
crew that they have been doing a very good job, everything was
de-lich.’ ‘Thanks…they will be glad to here it.’ ‘So how are
the kids and Gary? I know that I have been making him do a lot
more lately but it may get worse since I have to help protect
N sync.’ ‘The kids are kids, they are driving me crazy as always.
I think that the extra responsibility is helping settle him
down, so its all good.’ ‘I’m glad to hear that, I don’t want
to cause friction between you two. Well I’d better go check
on the training session, see you later Julie.’ ‘pop’ to the
control room of the Danger room .
‘How are they
doing Pat?’ ‘A little slow but are starting to warm up and get
back into it.’ ‘Good.’ Set back and watch the rest of the work
out. ‘Good job guys, take a break, N sync please come to
my room when you feel up to it.’ ‘Ok Bob, let me get a shower
and I’ll be over.’ ‘Thanks Just. See you in a few. Take
care Pat, see you later.’ ‘pop’ to my room.
I sit down and
go thru what Doug gave me. 15 permanent backstage passes and
V.I.P. tickets for any concerts. ‘Well he must be thinking
ahead or my threat really got to him. Now to figure out my protection
team…lets see…Connie, Joel, Jason, Benji, and Tris, that gives
me power and subtlety, Connie with her life like projections,
Joel’s speed, Jason’s force beams, Benji’s magnetism, and Tris’s
force fields. “C” please connect me with Connie, Joel, Jason,
Benji, and Tris please.’ ‘All are on line Bob.’ ‘Thanks “C”’
‘Would you people be able to meet me for dinner at 6:00pm in
the briefing room?’ ‘Sure what’s up?’ ‘Well Joel, I want you
guys to help protect N sync at their concerts and we start tomorrow,
so we need to do some planning.’ ‘Your joking right?’ ‘Be at
the briefing room at 6 and find out Benji, I’ll see you then,
later’
‘ “C” Julie please.’
‘She’s on line.’ ‘Julie I would like dinner for 12 in the briefing
room at 6:00pm please.’ ‘You can be a real pain…you do know
that don’t you?’ ‘Of course, that’s why you love me.’ ‘Yeah
right…’ ‘Thanks Julie, see you later.’
‘ “C” Brent please.’
‘He’s ready.’ ‘Brent I would like to have you come to the briefing
room at 6:00pm for a meeting, and please bring the maskers and
hoods please.’ ‘What’s up now?’ ‘I need to brief the protection
team and have them meet the N sync guys before we start tomorrow.’
‘Ok, see you at 6.’
‘Bob it’s me
John can I come in?’ ‘Yeah…’ He comes in and sits down. ‘Can
I ask a favor?’ ‘What now?’ ‘Can I borrow some money? I need
to get…’ He looks up and sees my eyes blazing red. ‘What did
I tell you a couple of weeks ago? I thought I said “No more”
if you can’t live on what you make that’s your problem, not
mine. You have not given me back any of the money that I have
loaned you, not one thin dime, so NO.’ He looks at me with sad
puppy dog eyes, ‘I said no…and I mean it.’ A couple of min.
of silence go by, ‘To show you that I mean what I say I am going
to remove the link between us…totally.’ I go over to him and
put my hands on his temples, enter his mind and destroy the
link. I look aat him and his head is down and he is crying,
‘Sorry John but I told you this was going to happen, but I guess
you didn’t believe me, now please leave.’
‘God
why can’t I find love?’
About five min.
later, ‘Bob it’s Justin, can I come in?’ ‘Yeah J. come on
in.’ When Justin comes in, he sees me with my head in my
hands with a couple of tears on my cheek, gives me a hug, kisses
my forehead, and asks ‘What’ s wrong?’ I tell him about happened
with John, ‘That sucks.’ ‘Yeah it does, but I told him what
was going to happen the next time he asked me for money, but
he didn’t believe me.’ <sigh>. He sits down, ‘Are the
rest of the guys coming over also?’ ‘They should be here in
a few.’ ‘Ok, please tell me how your concert days go.’ ‘Usually
get up around 10:00, get dressed have breakfast with fans and
do some autographs, then go the venue, do sound checks, and
practice, then a while to rest, then back for makeup, do the
concert, meet fans backstage for a while, then whatever.’ ‘What
about the other meals?’ ‘ they are ether catered or we get room
service at the hotel.’ ‘We’re here.’ ‘Ok guys join
the party.’ The guys look at me strangely, I guess my eyes
are still red, then at Justin, he shakes his head and sighs,
‘He did it, didn’t he?’ ‘Yeah Joey he did.’ ‘That sucks.’ ‘Yeah
Bill it does.’ the guys come over and give me a group hug. ‘We’re
here if you what to talk.’ ‘Thanks guys.’ they grab a seat
and continue to talk about the concert. ‘Well guys take a break
and stop by around 5:30 and we will head to the briefing room
to meet the protection team over dinner.’ when the guys leave
‘ “C” is there any one in the Danger room?’ ‘No Bob.’ Change
cloth, and ‘pop’ to the Danger room, lock out, and start level
6.
N sync talk about
what had happened with Steve and John, they look at each other,
Lance says ‘Not again.’ J.C. tries to reach me mentally and
can’t, ‘ “C” where’s Bob?’ ‘In the Danger room.’ ‘Shit…please
put us thru to Pat.’ ‘On line.’ ‘Thanks…Pat are you in the Danger
room?’ ‘No, I’m taking a break, why?’ ‘We think he’s in there
alone again, we can’t get a hold of him mentally.’ ‘Meet me
there!’ ‘On the way.’ Justin and Joey fly over, Chris teleports
J.C. and Lance. In a couple of min. Pat, Joey, and Justin arrive
while Chris, Lance, and J.C. are listening to try to hear what’s
going on. ‘Computer this is Pat voice print and retinal scan,
open the door, confirm.’ ‘Confirmed Pat, opening the door, program
is running.’ Justin throws up a shield as they walk in. It looks
like a war zone. Parts of robots, turrets, crates, and chunks
of plascrete are all over the floor. Pat shakes his head and
N sync look like they are in shock. I’m floating in the center
of the room, holding the last robot up kinetically, about to
throw it in their direction, see them at the last second then
just let it fall to the floor.
Pat looks up,
‘Jesus H…..how long have you been in here?’ ‘Only 10-15 min.
why?’ <grin> ‘What level?’ ‘Only level 6.’ ‘You know that
someone is to be in the control room over level 5!’ ‘Not supervisors.’
a door starts to open. ‘Computer…stop program, I’m done.’ The
door closes. ‘Yes Bob…program off.’ I float over to the guys.
Lance gasps ‘Bob come here.’ ‘Why?’ ‘You’ve got burns, cuts,
bruises, and your bleeding.’ I look down, ‘Shit…when did that
happen?’ ‘Don’t you feel it?’ ‘No.’ As the guys look at me all
the wounds vanish. ‘Ok…I must have copied your power Pat, sorry
about that.’ ‘No problem, you must have done it yesterday when
you teleported me to the control room.’ ‘I usually don’t do
that unless I concentrate, not just by touch anymore and I ask
first.’ ‘I know, don’t worry about it.’ ‘Ok, I’m going to shower,
does any one want to come along?’ ‘Yeah I do.’ says Lance ‘I
want to take a look to be sure your ok.’ ‘Any one else?’ The
rest of N sync nod, Pat shakes his head, ‘No I’d better stay
here and get your mess cleaned up.’ ‘See you later Pat.’ I open
a direct portal to my room, this is a standard door sized opening
with blue light surrounding it, you can look thru and see my
office, I let the guys go thru first then follow, I wave my
hand and it is gone. ‘Have a seat guys, I’ll be out when I’m
done. I walk to my bedroom with Lance following, he closes
the door, ‘Ok…sit down please and let me check you out.’ ‘Sure
Lance.’ he puts his hands on my shoulders, closes his eyes and
probes for anything that is not healed. He takes his hands off
my shoulders and shakes his head. ‘I have no idea how, but your
totally healed.’ ‘Thanks Scoop. I’m glad you care, now I’m going
to shower, be out in a few.’ He leaves to join the rest of the
guys. I after I shower, I dress and sit down on the bed, the
next thing I know Lance is shaking my shoulder, ‘Get up sleepy
head it’s 5:30’ ‘What?’ ‘Uh-huh it’s 5:30, and after watching
your workout I can see why your tired. We had to watch it in
slo-mo to see everything you did, in that 10 min. you destroyed
15 robots, 20 turrets, plus the 10 crates you used as weapons.’
‘Ok lets get the rest of the guys and head over to the briefing
room.’
<Briefing
room>
I walk in first,
I see Connie, Joel, Jason, Benji, and Tris sitting on one side
of the table chatting, they look up and see me standing there
alone and smile, ‘I knew you were shitting us, so what’s really
up?’ Jason asks. ‘Come on in guys.’ The door opens and
N sync and bill walk in and the protection team just stare
at them. ‘I told you didn’t I.’ ‘Yeah but…’ ‘But what Tris?
You knew they were here.’ ‘Yeah, but I still didn’t believe
it.’ ‘Well now for the intro’s, this is Connie, Joel, Jason,
Benji, and Tris. And this is N sync.’ As the guys shake hands
Brent walks in with two briefcases and puts them down on a side
table. ‘They didn’t believe you did they?’ ‘No… but they do
now.’ We start to talk about what we need to do the next day.
At 6:00 Julie and Gary show up with the meals. ‘Gary I didn’t
know you had K.P. duty.’ <grin> ‘Yeah…I got drafted.’
‘Haha…ok go home you two and have a good night, and remember
you are in charge tomorrow.’ ‘Will do, see you later, have
fun.’ We grab a tray, sit down and start to eat, when we are
done Chris and I ‘pop’ the trays and stuff to the kitchen. When
we get back I have Brent demo. How the hoods and maskers work,
then he gives me the briefcases with the hoods, maskers, and
chargers to put in the transport control room. He then heads
to the rec. room. After we go over the plan for the next day.
I tell them I’ll meet them for a drink after I put stuff in
the transport control room. Meet the crew for a drink and remind
them that I will meet them at 8:00A in the transport room and
for them to wear their tracking rings. At 9:00P I head back
to my to hit the net for a while, then go crash.
Later that night
I start to dream, I’m having sex, I look down at my partner,
it’s Justin, keep going, look down again, now it’s Lance, bend
down for a kiss, now it’s Chris, after the kiss I straighten
up and it’s Justin again. I wake up with a start and realize
that the guys are going at it and since we are still linked
I am seeing and feeling what they are doing. ‘Guys if you
keep broadcasting like this I’m going to have to join you.’
‘Come on over, your welcome to join us.’ they all reply.
‘Thanks for the offer, but I don’t think I have the stamina
to keep up with 6 young studs like you. just remember to pull
your minds back before you cum, I’ll pull back so I don’t interfere.’
I back out till I can just sense them, as they get close,
I do a quick check, everything is ok so I go back to sleep.
