Chapter 56

Just then Gloria came out. “Oh Señor Chris, you’re finally here.

Gloria almost ran over to him and gave him a big motherly hug. “Look at you, you’ve grown mijo.”

Chris had a smile on his face from ear to ear. “Not that much.”

“Come on now, dinner is about to be served.”

Ben and Chris headed to the dining room while I went to get Bennie. I went in and Bennie was getting dressed. “How do I look?”

My god how handsome he’d become. If we didn’t have to go out tonight he and I would definitely be in here for the night. “My god baby, you’re so handsome.”

He smiled at me then went to put his jacket on. I shook my head. “Alright, I’ll wait until after dinner.”

Bennie went I went into the dining room. As soon as he got to Chris, he stopped and gave him a kiss on the lips. “Man it’s good to have you here.”

Chris smiled then Gloria and the staff brought out a feast. “I hope you’re hungry Señor Chris.”

Chris smiled then turned several shades of red. “I am but I sure hope you didn’t do this on my account.”

“In a way I did mijo ... but also for Bennie.”

The chef wheeled in a cart and stopped by Ben. He motioned for him to go to Bennie first. The chef did as instructed then lifted the lid. “How do you like your fillet sir?”

“Medium rare please,” Bennie answered.

The chef then placed his knife on the meat and looked at Bennie. He saw the size then nodded his head so the chef sliced his piece. “How is that?”

Bennie smiled. “That’s perfect, thank you.”

Ben pointed to Chris. The chef came around and stopped by him, “Medium rare please.”

The chef set his knife on the tenderloin. “How is that sir?”

“That’s perfect, thank you.”

The chef made his rounds then Gloria came in with steaming baked potatoes and a variety of vegetables. The meat was absolutely perfect. It was so tender; we barely needed a knife to cut it. Every one of us cleaned our plates then had to go back for more of the tenderloin. “Bennie, don’t eat too much son. We don’t need you getting sick if it’s really hot under your gown.”

“Don’t worry Dad, I have that covered. I have a pair of shorts on.”

After we’d finished our meal, Gloria came in. “When you get back, I have a special desert.”

I looked at my watch and it was 5:45. “Sir, we need to get ready to go.”

Chris got up and hurried down to Ben’s room so he could change into his suit. Bennie went and got his jacket while I called Dusty. “Dusty, is the a/c on in the gym?”

“Oh yes, it’s a little chilly in there right now but by the time every one arrives, it should be fine.”

“Thanks buddy, I said then ended the call and went down to Bennie’s room. “Love, you might not need to take your slacks off. Dusty said the gym is quite cool right now.”

“Good, I didn’t want to roast tonight.” Bennie said as he removed his shorts then put his slacks back on.

We met up with Ben and Chris then walked over to the West Wing. I had my Bluetooth in my ear so I could hear all of the communications between the agents. “Dusty, we’re on our way.”

“Copy that Ace, we’re ready for you.”

When we arrived, there was a large contingent of agents scurrying around making last minute preparations. Chris and Bennie were quietly talking when I heard Chris gasp. I looked around and saw Ellis standing there. “Relax Chris, he’s one of us.” I said trying to get him to relax. “Chris this is Agent Marshall Ellis, Marshall, this is Chris Teele.”

They shook hands, “Nice to meet you Chris.”

Dusty came up to us, “We’re ready Mr. President.”

The security detail took their places then we made the walk to the limo. Dusty and I got Ben in first quickly followed by Bennie and Chris. I looked around and did a quick visual of the motorcade. Johnny and Tonka were already at the school so Dusty drove the limo. As soon as he started the engine, he turned all the lights on which was a signal to everyone we were ready to go. The lead vehicle pulled out then we were on our way. The back gate was open and traffic had been stopped so we proceeded to the school at 35 miles per hour.

As we went down the road, I noticed there weren’t any cars parked along the side of the road. We made a right hand turn for the final leg to the school. As we started getting close to the school, I noticed a large number of Metro PD’s cars blocking a lane for us. I eased the glass down between the front of the car and the limo area so I could see if I could see how Dusty was going to make the very wide turn into the parking lot so we could get under the security tent. “Dusty, how are you going to make the wide turn?”

“Not to worry Ace, that’s covered.”

We were about two blocks from the school then I saw how they were going to do it. Dusty pulled past the school then made a right hand turn onto a side street then I spotted a uniformed officer directing traffic. He motioned to Dusty where to enter the parking lot then he pulled in. As we came around, I saw the security tent surrounded by at least six agents. As we got close, two agents opened the side so we could drive in then they quickly closed it. I closed the partition then got ready for us to exit the vehicle. Dusty and JR got out then the back door opened. We got Chris and Bennie out and they were flanked by Ellis and a couple other agents. Ben stepped out last. He was flanked by Dusty, JR and Johnny along with Tonka. Johnny took the lead. “Please follow me Mr. President.”

“Mr. President, we’ve set up a secure room for you Bennie and Chris until it’s time for the graduation to begin.”

“Thank you Dusty.” Ben replied as they were led into a secure classroom.

“Dusty, who will know I’m in here? Don’t forget, I have to be with the others.”

“We have that covered Bennie. Mr. Robinson knows where you’ll be and Pete and Ace will be with you until the start of the ceremony. It took us less time to get here than we planned so just relax. Ace, can you come with me please?”

I followed Dusty out into the hall. “Where are we headed?”

“To the main entrance, I want to see how smoothly things are going.”

I looked around and I was amazed at the work Dusty and the men put in preparing for this event. As we approached the main doors, men were going through one door, women through another and kids through another. I watched things and it was going smoothly. Female agents were manning the metal detectors and searching the women’s purses. During one of the purse searches, an agent removed several cans of mace. She told the owner that those would not be allowed in the building. The woman rolled her eyes but didn’t cause a scene. The mace was put into a secured bin to be taken back to the office and properly disposed of.

Several minutes later, a man set off the metal detector. The agent motioned the man to step through then ran a hand held wand over him. It beeped loudly as he ran it over the man’s hip. Dusty and I eased our hands towards our weapons as the agent did a hand search of him. He reached inside man’s jacket and then stopped. “Gun.”

Right away, several agents had their weapons aimed at the man. “What’s the problem? I have a permit for it.”

The agent removed it then I walked over. “Sir, permit or not, guns are not allowed on school property unless you’re a police officer.”

Once we were sure he had no other weapons on him, he showed us his concealed carry permit. Dusty took the weapon and unloaded it then secured in a locked box. “Sir, after the graduation ceremony, you’ll get your gun back.”

I saw the next person to step through the metal detector. “Let him pass.” I said to the agent.

The man whose weapon we removed got cocky. “Oh so why does he get to bypass that? Is this a good old boy network where if you’re the right color you can do anything you want?”

I saw Bob getting steamed. He walked over to the loud mouth and took his credentials out and opened them in front of his eyes. “Now, you were saying?”

“Yeah the whitey gets what he wants and we poor blacks get what’s left.”

I was about to say something when a young black man came up. He appeared to be a student. “DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“I’m tired of us getting stepped on by the white man.”

“Shut up and stop embarrassing me. Just wait until I tell Mom what you’ve done. Lt. Brinkman, I’m really sorry my Dad has to act like a horse’s ass in front of everyone. Agent Mason, I’m sorry you had to hear this too. Bennie and I were in several classes together and he’ll be a fine man.”

I walked over to the student and shook his hand. “You’re a fine young man too. I see great things in store for you. What plans do you have?”

“I’ve been accepted to the University of Virginia. I plan on majoring in criminal justice then wish to join the FBI.”

I handed the young my card. “Call me after you graduate. I have some friends there and I’ll be glad to put in a good word for you.”

“Thank you very much, Agent Mason. “Come on Dad let’s see if we can join Mom without you shooting your mouth off again.”

Dusty and I were about to leave when I heard a voice. “Hi Ace.”

I looked there coming through the detector was Jake. As soon as he was screened he came over to me followed by his father. “Well hello there. It’s nice to see you David. Where are Carl and Cal?”

“They should be here anytime now.” Jake replied. We chatted for a few minutes then we were joined by the Matthews clan. “Uncle Ace, Uncle Ace.”

I was quickly surrounded by Timmy and Billy. “Agent Mason, they haven’t been screened yet.”

I set the boys down then led them around so they could walk through the detector. They didn’t set it off so they were back into my arms. “Come on guys, let’s go see Bennie.”

We walked down to where Ben and Bennie were then a small reunion took place. At 7, Pete and I escorted Bennie to the holding area for the graduates. He was surrounded by a lot of his friends so Pete and I just stood back out of the way. At 7:25 Mr. Robinson stepped inside. “Gentlemen, please line up in alphabetical order by your last name.”

It took a few minutes for them to get in line then Pete and I walked beside Bennie until they came to the entrance of the gym. Pomp and Circumstance started playing as the seniors started filing in and took their seats. Pete and I hung back then we slipped in and took our places.

The seniors had seats in the front row but we had agents placed throughout the gym so everyone had eyes on Bennie and Ben, when he came out to give his speech. Once the graduates were seated the music stopped and James walked onto the stage. “Good evening ladies, gentlemen and distinguished guests. I would like to welcome you to our graduation for this year’s fine group of seniors.”

James went through the opening ceremonies then he stepped back up to the microphone. “At this time, I would like Jake Wheeler, this year’s class valedictorian, to come forward and say a few words.”

Jake ascended the steps then stood at the podium. “Thank you Mr. Robinson. Parents, Mr. President, faculty, guests and my fellow classmates, I was totally taken by surprise when I was named this year’s valedictorian. The year flew by and it will be one that personally, I’ll never forget. I’ve made so many wonderful friends and I hope to keep in touch with as many as possible as we move on to the next challenge in our lives. To those of us who are off to college, I wish everyone the best and say, study hard.”

That brought a round of giggles then Jake started speaking again. “I really didn’t plan on speaking so I am a little out of my comfort zone. Without further delay, Mr. Robinson, the stage is yours. Congratulations and good luck to everyone.”

There was a round of applause as Jake left the stage and Mr. Robinson returned. “Thank you Jake and we will have to plan better on announcing our valedictorian next year. Now it’s time for our featured guest this evening. So without further ado, I would like to introduce the President of the United States, Benjamin Jacobs.”

The crowd stood and applauded as Hail to the Chief was played. I was scanning the crowd when I heard a voice say, “Keep your eyes open everyone.”

A curtain opened a little then Ben stepped out as the crowd continued to clap their hands. What the audience couldn’t see was that behind the curtain were Dusty, JR, Johnny with Tonka, Marshall and several other agents. After several minutes the crowd finally quieted and sat down. “Good evening, graduating seniors, faculty and staff, parents and invited guests, it gives me great pleasure to address this fine group of young men.

“Today every one of you has reached a milestone in your life. You’re now high school graduates. For many of you, you will be going on to higher education. For those of you who aren’t, this comes a time of great uncertainty. Our economy is slowly coming back and jobs are beginning to reappear.

“I won’t stand up here and say you need a college education because along with that comes the financial burden of student loans but in the long run, it will prepare you for a better job. For those of you here who are going to college, you are the cream of the crop. I hope you have looked into scholarships that will help defray the cost of your higher education.

“Our world is also advancing technologically and there is a need out there for bright young minds to help keep technology advancing. There are many great schools that offer this so that might be something you can look into.

“My wish to you graduates is that whatever endeavor you decide to undertake, you succeed and help keep this country a great nation. Congratulations to you all.”

Once again the crowd stood and began applauding as Hail to the Chief played then Ben went behind the curtain to the awaiting agents. They took Ben to a private seat so he could watch Bennie receive his diploma. James took the podium and quieted the audience. “Ladies and gentlemen, now is the time we’ve all been waiting for. It’s time for the awarding of the student’s diplomas.”

As is tradition, the valedictorian received his first followed by the remaining members of the class in alphabetical order. It took about thirty minutes for everyone’s name to be called and then walk onto the stage then return to their seat. After each student had received their diploma, James thanked everyone for coming and the ceremony ended.

Pete and I got Bennie then returned to the secure room where Ben was waiting for him. A few minutes later, some of Bennie’s closest friends knocked on the door. Pete opened it and Carl and Jake were standing there. “Is Bennie in here?” Carl asked. Pete opened the door and let the two boys in.

“Hi guys, what’s up?” I asked.

“Umm do you think we could get some photos with Bennie and the President?”

Bennie went over to Ben. “Come on Dad, please?”

Ben stood up then Pete became the photographer and took a number of photos. I noticed the time then I had to break the photo session up. “Mr. President, we must be getting back now.”

Jake, Carl, Chris and Bennie got into a group and a few tears started to fall. “Bennie, will we ever see you again?” Carl asked as he slipped his robe off.

“You better believe it. You’re still welcome at the White House and we’ll get together over the summer. Where are you guys going to college?”

Jake smiled. “I’m going to Georgetown and so is Carl.”

“That’s great, I’m going there too so we can see each other there.”

“Will Ace will be with you?” Carl asked.

Bennie started nodding his head. “You better believe it. I hate to do this but we really have to go.”

Goodbyes were said then we got Ben and Bennie back out to the limo. As we were on the way out, I heard an agent. “Agent Mason, Agent Moore please come to the front entrance.”

Dusty and I looked at the other agents. “Get them into the limo.” Dusty said as we headed up the hall.

As we got closer, Dusty and I heard a commotion between what sounded like two women. “This sounds bad Ace.” Dusty said as we came to the front entrance.

“Let’s see what’s going on.”

I was right; there were two women in a heated argument. Two agents were trying to separate them but they were having little success. I put two fingers in my mouth and cut loose with a loud whistle. “Knock it off.” Dusty shouted.

The women finally got quiet then they turned to look at us. Right away I recognized them. “I’m sorry but the ceremony is over.”

The younger of the two ran over and tried to bump me in the chest until two agents took hold of her arms. “What? That can’t be. I get it; you don’t want me to announce to the world my brother in law has a fudge packer for a brat.”

The other woman came over and backhanded her. “Shut up Carla. I told you that you would not be welcome here.”

I whistled again. “Will you please tone it down or I’ll have you arrested for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Brenda, I am sorry but the graduation ceremony has ended. If you’d been a few minutes later, the school would be locked up.”

“Oh dear, now what,” Brenda started. “Our connecting flight was delayed in Detroit due to some bad weather.”

“Let me make a call,” I said taking my cell out to call Ben. “Sir, your mother and sister in law are here.”

“Oh my god,” Ben said. “Is Carla still ranting?”

“I’m afraid so Sir,” I answered.

“How did they get here?” Ben asked.

“I don’t know but I’ll ask.” I answered then looked to Brenda. “How did you get from the airport to the school?”

“I rented a car Ace,” Brenda replied.

“I heard that Ace.” Ben said. “Let me talk to her please.”

I motioned for Brenda to come over then handed her my phone. “Ben would like to talk to you.”

“Hi Son, how’s my grandson?”

“He’s fine Mom, why didn’t you call me and let me know you were coming out?”

I saw her turn a few shades of red. “Um well, I misplaced your number or I would have.”

Ben giggled. “Did Carla come out too?”

She turned and looked at her. “Yes, I’m afraid she did and nothing has changed.”

“If she’s going to create a scene then she’s not welcome at the White House. I’ll not have the residence turned upside down.”

“I understand totally. Now can I see my grandson?”

“Of course Mom, you’re welcome at the residence anytime.”

“How do I get there?” Brenda asked.

“Let me talk to Ace.”

Brenda handed me the phone. “Yes Sir?”

“Can you ride with her in her car?”

“Certainly Sir, I’ll have the gate guard issue her a pass in case she needs to go somewhere but if she does, I’d much prefer to have some agents go with her.”

“I’ll leave those details up to you. Tell Carla she is not welcome at the residence. If she raises hell, do what you need to.”

“I understand Sir,” I replied then ended the call. “Carla, I am sorry but the President has stated that you are not welcome at the residence. Now, if you make a scene, you’ll be arrested. I suggest you find a hotel near the airport so you can make arrangements to return to California.”

“What?” She screamed as I reached for my cuffs then she lowered her voice. “I have a nonrefundable ticket. I can’t make any changes to it without it costing me a small fortune. What the hell am I supposed to do?”

“Ma’am, that’s not my problem. You’ve made your bed with your tirade so now you’ll just have to lie in it. Don’t you remember that last time you were here?”

“Yes, my dear brother in law sent me packing.” She said.

“And you know why he did it -- yet you come here and start it all over again. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.”

“How am I supposed to get to a hotel?” Carla said raising her voice.

I gave her a stern look. “If you behave yourself, I can get an agent to call a cab for you. There are several hotels outside the airport so you can take your pick.”

“I guess I have no choice then.” Carla replied in a huff.

I led Brenda outside and we got into her car for the drive over to the residence. “I’m really sorry about that Ace.”

“You’re not responsible for her. You’re her mother and she’s an adult so you have no control over what she does.”

I heard her sigh. “I guess you’re right. Now tell me, what’s going on with you and my grandson? You’re still together, right?”

I turned several shades of red. “Oh yes, we’re still together and if I have my way about it, we will be for a very long time.”

“I have something for you two.” Brenda tossed at me.

“Oh ma’am,” I said surprised.

Brenda started to giggle. “It’s more a graduation gift for Bennie.”

My curiosity was piqued. “What might that be, Brenda?”

“A little trip for two,” She answered.

“Oh Brenda, Ben booked a cruise for him as a graduation gift.”

“I guess I should have spoken with him.” She said a little dejected.

“Didn’t you get Bennie’s email address?”

“Umm, I forgot and Ace, I’m an old lady. I’m not all that savvy with today’s technology.”

“You mean you don’t have a computer?” I asked.

“I do but it’s so technical I don’t understand it.”

“Well, I know just the person who can help you and by the time you have to leave, you’ll be an old hand at it.”

“How can I ask Bennie? He’ll think I’m a dunce or something.”

“Not to worry Brenda, Bennie won’t think that at all and what better way for the two of you to spend some good quality time together.”

I looked out the window and we were coming up to the back gate. I directed her to turn in then I removed my credentials. “Good evening Agent Mason, Ms. Schultz. The President said you would be coming.”

The guard opened the gate then I found her a place to park. “Brenda, if you wish to go off somewhere, please let me know.”

“Ace, I can take care of myself.” She replied.

“Yes Ma’am, I’m sure that’s true but this is something that is not up for discussion.”

She closed her eyes briefly. “I take it this is Ben’s doing?”

“No ma’am, it’s mine but he approves.” I replied as she parked, then I went to get her luggage.

I got her bags into the elevator then it was a quick hop to the residence. When the doors opened Tonka was the welcome wagon. His tail was wagging then he backed up so we could get off. No sooner had we stepped out when I heard a loud voice. “Gramma.”

Bennie wrapped his grandmother into a huge hug. “Why didn’t you let us know you were coming?”

“I misplaced your dad’s phone number.” She answered.

“Well, there is email.” Bennie shot back.

“Well Bennie, do you think you could teach an old woman these new fangled gadgets?”

“Gramma, you’re not old.” Bennie replied smiling.

“When you get to be my age, you’ll think differently.”

“Nonsense,” Bennie replied. “Sure, I’ll have you using the computer in no time at all. What kind do you have?”

“Oh Bennie, I don’t know. It’s got a wild looking E on the cover.”

“You have a Dell. How about we start tomorrow?”

“Bennie let your Grandmother relax for a while before you want to take off anywhere.” Ben admonished. “Ace, can you put her things in the Queen’s bedroom?”

“Yes Sir,” I said then took Brenda's bags to the Queen’s bedroom.

When I returned, she had Chris in a huge hug. “Well Chris, I guess you should start calling me Mom now.”

When I heard that, I knew the news had been told to her. “Yes Ma’am.” Chris said.

We went into the dining room and had some coffee then Gloria came out. “Oh my, Señora Brenda, I didn’t know you were coming. What a very nice surprise.”

“Hello Gloria, I see you’re still keeping my son and grandson very well fed.”

“Si, Señora, even Señor Ace, loves my cooking too.”

She quickly returned to the kitchen then brought in desert. She wheeled in a cart with something under a domed cover. She stopped by Bennie then removed the lid. When Bennie saw this, he gasped. “Oh Gloria this looks so beautiful, I hate to cut it.”

I went over and looked at the cake then pulled my cell phone out and snapped a few pictures. The pastry chef put a drawing of Georgetown Exeter on the cake and it was like looking at a work of art. Gloria handed him the knife then he made the ceremonial first cut. Once that was done, Gloria passed out the cake then Brenda took over. “Bennie, today in my eyes you have become a man. I wished for a long time that you would stay my little grandson but sadly, that cannot be.

She paused then reached for her purse and removed a nicely wrapped package. “Bennie, this is for you.”

Bennie was really moved. “Oh gramma, you didn’t have to.”

“Hush it Benjamin, I know I didn’t have to but I did want to -- so I did.”

Bennie turned a little red then started to open the gift. Once the paper was off Bennie opened a box then saw an oblong velvet box inside. He removed the velvet box then lifted the lid. “Oh my gramma,” Bennie said then broke out crying as he ran over to her. “They’re beautiful but, but how did you know?”

She cupped Bennie’s face in her hands then used her thumbs to wipe the tears off his face. “Benjamin you don’t think I know about the person you love and want to spend their days with?”

“Yes but still how did you know we’d marry?”

“I’m an old lady but I’m not ignorant. I am well aware that same sex couples here can legally be joined in a civil ceremony.”

I got up and stood behind my love and tried to look at what he was holding. He felt my presence then he stood up and showed me. “Ace, look they’re so lovely.”

“Oh Brenda, those are too…”

“Richard Mason,” She started so I knew I was toast.

“Yes Ma’am,” I said softly.

Bennie looked at me and smiled. “You’ve met your match baby.”

I wasn’t going to argue with her. “Now Ace, I guess you can call me Mom too.”

“Why can’t he call you gramma, like I do?” Bennie asked.

I wrapped my arms around my love. “Baby, I think I’m just a little too old for gramma.”

He didn’t argue with me then he took the box and showed it to Ben. “Oh mother, you shouldn’t have.”

“Not you too Benjamin,” She said sternly.

“I didn’t mean it like that Mom. Those rings are beautiful.”

“They really are gramma,” Bennie said as he hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek. But how did you know?”

“I’m old but I’m not dead. I know you and Ace love each other and now you two can have your ceremony.”

“Gramma, that’s not going to be for a while yet.”

“Why not,” She asked.

“A few reasons, first is in the fall I start at Georgetown and I want my education to come first because I want to go to work for the Secret Service.”

“Benjamin Leland Jacobs Jr., I don’t want you out there risking getting shot.”

“Gramma, that’s my decision and I won’t be getting shot, well, I sure hope not. After college, I’ll have to attend the Secret Service Academy. When I get done with all of that and I’m with the Service, Ace and I will have our ceremony.”

I looked at her then slowly she began to break into a smile. “It seems you’ve thought this through.”

Bennie saw that too. “Yes gramma, we have. Now don’t worry, you’ll get an invitation to this.”

She started shaking her finger at him. “You better not forget now.”

Everyone started laughing. “Don’t worry Mom; I won’t let him forget you.” I said trying to save Bennie.

Brenda then turned her attention to Ben and Chris. “So what are your plans?”

Poor Chris swallowed hard and looked to Ben. He reached his hand out and patted Chris’s. This seemed to relax him so he could speak. “Well, this fall I’ll be attending the University of Washington where I’ll be a majoring in biology.”

She smiled. “Are you planning on becoming a teacher?”

“Oh no ma’am,” Chris replied shaking his head. “I plan on going on to medical school.”

When Brenda heard this, she broke into a huge smile. “A doctor, I’m really impressed. What field are you thinking about?”

“That I’m not totally sure about. I love children so I’m really thinking about pediatrics.”

Brenda was absolutely beaming with pride when she heard all of Chris’s plans. She then looked at Ben. “Benjamin?”

Ben’s head snapped up. “Yes mother?” He replied feeling like he was about to enter the inquisition.

“Well, what’s in your future?”

Ben finished his coffee so I took the opportunity to get him a refill. “I still have the rest of my term in office then I do plan on running for reelection. After that, I haven’t given it much thought.”

I could see her roll her eyes. “What about your law practice?”

“What about it?” Ben asked.

“Don’t you plan on returning to it?” Brenda asked.

“I might,” Ben said.

“You might?” She shot back.

“Mother, please.”

“Please what Benjamin?”

I could see Bennie getting really uncomfortable at the way his dad was getting treated. When he finished his last mouthful of cake he slammed his fork down on the plate. “Gramma, that’s just enough.”

Everyone’s eyes we now focused on him. “Benjamin Leland…”

“Stop it gramma. I’m not some little child any more that you can try to intimidate. Why is it every time we’re together you have to know every detail of our lives?”

“Excuse me if I’m just concerned about my family.”

“Concerned mother?” Ben asked. “Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve tried to get me to be what it was you wanted me to be. I have my career and right now it’s in politics. After I leave office, I’ll have a decision on what my future will entail but I can tell you this, it will include Chris. If this doesn’t meet with your approval, I’m sorry.”

I could see the wheels turning in Brenda's head. She started to speak but held up as she looked around the room. All eyes were now on her. “I’m sorry Bennie. I apologize to you too Ben and also to you Chris.”

“Mother, you’re being you but you have to remember, we’re not little children anymore.” Ben said as he got up then went over to hug her and kiss her on the cheek.

She smiled then kissed Ben. “You’re right Benjamin. Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve had a long day and I think I’m ready to call it a night.”

I looked at the clock on the wall and it was going on 10 PM. I got up and held the chair for Brenda then showed her to her room. “Here you go Brenda, breakfast will be at 8 AM.”

“Thank you Ace and I’m really embarrassed about my actions.”

“Nonsense,” I started. “As Ben said, you’re being you.”

She opened the door and went inside, “Yeah, the stereotypical meddling Jewish mother.”

I had to giggle at that. “Well ma’am, I don’t think any damage was done.”

She started unpacking. “Thank goodness for that. Now, you take care of my little Benjamin.”

“Ma’am,” I started. “With all due respect, Bennie isn’t little any longer. He’s grown into a fine young man who I love with all my heart. As for taking care of him, that goes without saying.”

She came over and gave me a motherly hug. “I can see the love you two have for each other. I wish only the best for you both.”

“I want nothing less myself. I’ll let you get some sleep now. Good night Brenda.”

I closed the door behind me then returned to the dining room. When I returned, I didn’t see Ben. “Where’s your dad?”

He went to get out of his suit, so did Chris.” Bennie replied.

I thought that was a great idea. “Come on love, let’s get comfortable.”

We went down to our rooms then I started getting undressed. I was down to my undies when I heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Bennie I just said, “Come in.”

“Umm Ace,” The voice started and I knew that wasn’t Bennie.

I looked over and Chris was in his bathrobe. “What’s up man?”

“Can I ask a big favor?”

I slipped on a pair of shorts then sat on the bed. “Sure, what is it you need?”

He started to talk then stopped and then turned bright red. “Umm well, I need some help with a small problem.”

Now I wasn’t sure where this was heading and I knew if I didn’t get over to Bennie’s room quickly, he’d be in here. “What’s on your mind?”

Chris stood and I saw him reach for the belt around his robe when Bennie came in. “Hey Chris,”

Poor Chris was shell shocked when Bennie came in. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I decided to get him off the hook. “Love, Chris has a problem he needs some help with.”

Bennie went over and put his arm around his shoulder. “What’s wrong man, is dad too tired tonight?”

“Oh no bro,” Chris started then dropped his robe.

“Damn man, you’re as smooth as a baby’s ass.” Bennie said.

“Umm, well almost,” Chris answered then turned around and bent over. “I can’t get back here.”

I could see Bennie’s dick start to plump as he stared at Chris’s ass and hole. I’d never shaved someone around their hole before but I had a small electric razor so I was willing to give it a go. Bennie ran his hand over Chris’s ass. “Did you ask Dad?”

Chris turned a little red. “Man, I can’t ask him that.”

“Why not, if you and he are going to be partners who better to ask?”

“I just want to surprise him. Can you help me?”

“Sure Chris,” I started. “Does Ben know you’re down here?”

“Yeah, I told him I needed to talk to you guys.”

“Alright then, lie down on the bed.” I said as I went into the bathroom as I get a washcloth wet.

I took the warm cloth and put it in between his butt cheeks and let that get the hairs soft so I could shave them. I got my shaving cream and razor and began to shave Chris’s butt. I put a small amount of cream on my fingers then began cover the area. “Shit, that’s cold.”

“Relax buddy, it’ll warm up.” I said as I motioned for Bennie to sit beside Chris.

Bennie held Chris’s cheeks open as I began to remove the growth. The job went really easy as he didn’t have any hairs close to this love chute. I warmed the washcloth again and removed the remaining shaving cream then patted his butt. “All done?” Chris asked.

“Yep, take a look in the mirror.” Bennie added.

He went into the bathroom and used the full length mirror on the back of the door. “Oh my god,” He almost shouted.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He came into the room and wrapped his arms around my neck. “It’s perfect. I’ll ask Ben if he can help keep it like that.”

Bennie rubbed his cheek. “What about when you go home? Who will do it then?”

Chris had to think about that. “Well, I could ask Rocky.”

“Or how about Sandy,” Bennie added.

“No way Bennie, I can’t ask her that?”

“Why not, women shave too.”

“But, but, she’s a girl.” Chris cried.

“Do you really trust Rocky? Has he ever used a razor before?”

“I don’t know Ace. He’s not shaving yet.”

“Look buddy, this is something you can’t do yourself so it’s either Rocky or Sandy. I don’t think Sandy will deny you because many females like to be smooth shaved too so she’d probably be glad to help you.”

Chris finally relented. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right. Maybe when Rocky starts shaving and learns to use a razor, I’ll ask him.”

I didn’t want Ben wondering what was going on so I decided to get Chris back to his room. I handed him his robe. “I think Ben will enjoy that nice little surprise.”

Chris ran his finger over his cheeks then felt his hole. “Oh I do hope so.”

Chris tired his robe closed then hurried back to Ben. Bennie and I went into his room where he quickly stripped. His tool was semi hard from looking at Chris. “I guess I know what’s on your mind.”

“And yours isn’t?” Bennie countered.

He came over and tried to start something but I beat him to it. I pulled him into my arms then planted my lips firmly on his then started looking for his tonsils. I heard him moan and felt his tool become exceptionally hard. I felt his hands caress my back then make their way down to my ass. “Would you like this smooth too?”

“Nah,” Bennie started. “I like the fur on your cheeks.”

“Fur,” I asked. “I’m far from a bear.”

Bennie started giggling. “I know that but I like your hair where it is.”

“You don’t think my hole is too hairy?”

“Oh stop it baby, you’re perfect. Everything about you is. If I didn’t like the hair back there, I’d have said something long before now.”

He was right. He loves rimming me and then shoving his tongue deep into my chute. He knows that turns me on so much I’ve almost blown loads while he was rimming me. “Come on love; let’s get into the shower so we can get cleaned up.”

Bennie didn’t need to be asked twice so he almost ran into his bathroom and got the shower running.

Down in Ben’s room he and Chris were enjoying a warm shower together. Chris had kept his robe on so Ben couldn’t see the modifications he’d made to his backside. He let Ben get in first then he followed. The one thing Chris couldn’t hide was his trimmed pubes. “You trimmed yourself.” Ben exclaimed as his eyes were glued to Chris’s pubic region.

Before Chris could say anything, Ben had him in a tight embrace. “I thought it would look better if it was a little neater.”

“I love it,” Ben smiled then stated to kiss his lover as his hand began to roam freely over Chris’s back.

Chris’s love stick was now at full mast as he felt Ben’s hands begin to caress his smooth globes. Chris was beginning to really get turned on by Ben’s ministrations. “Mmmmmm,” Chris moaned.

“You’re as smooth as a baby.” Ben said softly.

“I hope you like it darling.”

“My god, I love it.” Ben answered as he ran his fingers in between his cheeks.

This made Chris relax and stop worrying then he started caressing his lover’s body. Ben didn’t want to have this become a sex session in the shower so he found the shampoo and started washing Chris’s hair. Ben washed Chris’s body and made sure he didn’t turn his lover on any more than was necessary. Once Chris was clean and rinsed, he started washing his lover. Chris had Ben squeaky clean in almost record time then he shut the water off and then reached and grabbed two towels. Ben wrapped the towel around himself then started drying Chris. He closed the lid on the toilet so he could sit down when he dried the lower half.

He got Chris’s upper half done without much fanfare then started working on his legs. Ben started on his lover’s smooth buns then began working his way down to his legs. Chris tried to keep his dick soft but lost that battle when Ben dried his nether region. Once everything was dry Ben stood up, staring at Chris’ erection.

He couldn’t help but smell the fresh scent of his lover’s skin and it was beginning to arouse him. Ben stood then started to get dried when Chris took the towel. Both of them were getting hotter so Chris got Ben dried quickly. After hanging the towels up, Ben took Chris’s hand and let him into the bedroom.

As soon as Chris saw the bed, he started kissing Ben and Ben returned the favor as they fell onto the bed locked in a tongue duel. Ben had started to caress his lover’s chest then found one of his nipples. He gently rubbed it and soon it was as erect as was Chris’ cock. They broke the kiss so they could get comfortable on the bed. “Baby, did you shave yourself just for me?” Ben asked as he caressed Chris’s baby smooth skin.

Chris was really taken by surprise by his lover’s statement. “Umm don’t you like it?”

Ben smiled then rubbed his baby smooth ass cheeks again. “I love it darling; I just wasn’t expecting you’d do such a thing just for me.”

Chris smiled. “Well I did have a little help.”

“I kinda figured that. I don’t think someone can shave some places by themself.”

Chris wrapped his arms around Ben’s neck and began kissing him again then managed to get him on his back. He quickly straddled his waist as his hands began started caressing Ben’s chest. As soon as his fingers grazed Ben’s nipples, he stopped and began to lick and suckle them.

While this was going on Ben began to search for Chris’s love tool. When he found it, he managed to roll Chris onto his side then Ben quickly shifted his position so he could taste his lover’s dick. Ben licked the tip of Chris’ dick eliciting a moan. “Oh shit baby, this feels fantastic.”

Ben bathed Chris’s hairless groin with his tongue then working his way down to Chris’s smooth balls. He started suckling them as he ran his finger over his nether region. Right away, Chris spread his legs so Ben could have access to his love chute.

As Ben was doing this, Chris began to lick and nibble on Ben’s crotch. Ben spread his legs then Chris began to tongue bathe Ben’s nether region. He worked his way south then found his love canal. As soon as he found his target, Chris gave the hole an upwards lick. Ben’s hole winked at Chris as it quickly opened then closed on its own. “Chris, what are you doing to me?”

“Did you like that darling?”

This was something new to Ben and he didn’t know what to think but his body responded. “Oh god yes, I’ve never felt anything like this before.” Ben gasped as he was getting hotter by the second.

Ben was still a virgin but he wanted his lover in him in the worst way. Ben reached his hand out and found Chris's. He led his lover’s hand towards his back entrance. “Are you sure my love?” Chris asked not wanting to hurt him.

“Oh god yes darling.” Ben gasped out. “I gotta feel you in me.”

This took Chris by surprise. “Are you sure baby? Have you ever had anyone make love to you before?”

“You’re my first sweetie.” Ben answered.

“It’s going to take some time for me to get you ready.”

Ben was so hot; he didn’t want to hear what Chris was trying to tell him. “Love I can handle it.”

Chris decided to see just what he could handle. He wet one of his fingers then ran it around Ben’s wet hole then gently inserted it in up to the first knuckle. “Let me know love if any of this hurts.”

Ben felt the digit probing his hole then he was hit with a jolt. “Oh my god baby, what was that?”

“That was your prostate love. You’ve never had a doctor examine yours?”

“No baby, I’m only 36.” Ben answered.

Chris wiggled his finger causing Ben’s dick to twitch. “Did you like that?”

“Oh hell yeah,” Ben gasped. “Do it some more and put another one in me.”

Chris took his finger out then went over to his bag. He removed a bottle of lube then went back to bed. Chris slid beside his lover then kissed him passionately. After several seconds they broke their kiss and Chris took the lead. “Are you really sure about this?”

Ben reached down and took hold of his lover’s tool. He felt the girth of the weapon and realized he could be split in half if he wasn’t careful. Chris saw the hesitation on Ben’s face. “Love,” Ben started. “I love you and I want this more than anything but I feel if I jump into this and get hurt, I’d get split in half and then I’d have a lot of explaining to do.”

Chris wrapped his arms around Ben and kissed him. “Baby, I’d never ever hurt you on purpose but if you got carried away in the heat of passion, I couldn’t live with myself if your rectum was injured. We have a lot of time and we can work on stretching you.”

Ben smiled and pulled his legs up giving Chris total access to his back passage. “Alright then love, can we get started?”

Chris smiled and put some lube on his fingers and started to loosen his lover’s hole. As he was doing this, Ben’s dick came to life and he was quickly getting turned on once more. Chris slid his index finger in and found Ben’s love nut then started to wiggle it. After a few minutes of teasing Ben, Chris started to add a second finger. He slowly entered then when he got to his first knuckle, Ben softly moaned causing Chris to stop. “Are you alright?”

“That’s starting to hurt a little.”

“Should I stop?” Chris asked not wanting to hurt him.

“Just slow down a little,” Ben asked.

Chris’s middle finger was still inside so he started pushing on Ben’s prostate as he slowly started to finger fuck his lover. Slowly Ben’s hole began to accommodate the two fingers in his backside. Chris decided not to push things further so he changed his position then started sucking on Ben’s now leaking dick.

While Chris was working on Ben’s hole, he’d reached back and put some lube on his. When Ben felt his dick getting sucked he immediately started on Chris'. As Ben started on Chris, he lifted his legs. “Oh baby, finger me.” Chris moaned.

Ben gently ran his finger over Chris’s treasure and felt that it was already lubed. He slipped a finger in then got a surprise as the hole opened up for him. He started moving his finger in and out then slowly inserted another. The two lovers were in the heated throws of passion. Chris felt his balls start to churn then he started bucking his hips wildly so he could enjoy Ben’s fingers. Ben came off Chris’ tool for a moment. “Do you want another finger?”

“Oh god yes,” Chris hissed so Ben gave him a third finger.

As soon as Ben had three fingers in, Chris started bucking like a wild man. Ben could tell Chris was really close and his balls were telling him the same thing. Chris began to really work his fingers in and out of Ben’s hole, each time hitting his love’s prostate. Ben was moaning and bucking like a bitch in heat. He felt his load starting to surface. “You better hold on baby, I’m going to blow.”

Chris was experienced so he knew he could take anything his love could give him. He heard Ben moan again so he got ready for his treat. When Ben fired, his first shot hit Chris in the back of his throat almost gagging him but he quickly swallowed so he could get the next volley.

No sooner had Ben started blowing his wad, Chris started. Being a novice, Ben wasn’t expecting the first shot. Ben almost spit it out but then got control and managed to swallow it. No sooner was that load swallowed Ben was treated to another and then another and a few smaller ones. Chris was taking Ben’s thick cream like a child would eat ice cream. Ben gave Chris four huge shots then several smaller ones before he was finally finished. Chris sucked all there was out of Ben’s balls and cock until Ben’s dick became super sensitive. “Baby stop please, I can’t take any more.”

Chris stopped his ministrations then flipped around so he could cuddle with his lover. “Did you enjoy that?” Chris asked as Ben leaned over then passionately kissed his lover.

“Does that answer your question?”

Chris got a taste of their mixed juices then smiled. “Oh yeah, it does.”

Ben got up and went into the bathroom. He wet a washcloth and brought a small towel. “Here baby, you might want to clean yourself.”

Chris cleaned his dick and hole then dried himself. Ben took the cloth and did the same thing then returned everything to the bathroom. After rinsing the washcloth, he returned to bed then snuggled close with his lover. They got comfortable and drifted off to sleep.

Back in Bennie’s room, he and I were cleaning up from a very hot round of love-making. I gave Bennie’s ass a good workout then deposited a huge load of juice in his chute. Before that, he pounded my ass then filled me up. Now that we were clean, we needed a good night’s sleep so we spooned together and headed to dreamland.

The next morning Bennie and I were rudely awakened by someone banging on the bedroom door. “WHAT!” I shouted sitting up.

The door opened and Johnny stuck his head in. “We have a shooter outside.”

“Where,” I asked as I got out of bed and threw some clothes on.

“He’s outside the fence shooting at the White House.”

“Get the residence on lockdown and tell the snipers I want him alive. Now who is with Ben and Brenda?”

“Dusty and JR are with the President.” Johnny replied.

“Gramma,” Bennie shouted and started to get out of bed.

I grabbed him and held him tight. “Stay here.”

“But Ace,” Bennie started as I put my vest on.

“That’s not up for discussion.” I said as I grabbed my weapon then headed for the door.

I took off and went to the Queen’s Bedroom. The door was partially open so I knocked and called out, “Brenda.”

“In here Ace.” I heard her say.

I opened the door and Tonka was lying across her chest. As soon as he saw me, he was by my side. “How did he get in here?”

“I’m not sure,” Brenda started. I was sleeping then I felt him pull on my arm then started barking. As soon as I got out of bed, he pushed me to the floor then covered my body. What’s going on?”

I didn’t want to go into too much detail. “We have a situation here so we need you to stay away from the windows.”

“Where’s my grandson?” She said trying to head for the door.

“Mom, please,” I started.

“Don’t you Mom please me Ace.”

“Look; he’s fine now let us do our jobs,” I admonished.

“Do I have to stay in my room?” She asked.

I took her to the living room because there were no windows in there. “Please, for now stay in here or the dining room.”

“Very well,” She said and I could sense she wasn’t happy with my request.

“I have to get to work now.” I said then headed for the stairs.

I ran to the top floor then headed out to the roof. It took a few seconds then I was up with the snipers. “Give me a report.”

“Uniformed agents have the area blocked off and all of the people on the street have been moved to a safe area. They’re starting to make their way to the shooter.”

“Keep them back,” I started. “I want him alive at all cost.”

I made my way back down to the residence and ran into Dusty and JR. “What’s the situation Ace?”

“There is an unknown individual outside the north side of the White House shooting towards the residence.”

“Did the sniper take him out?” JR asked.

“I want him alive.” I answered.

“Ace, the sniper is on the move.”

“Copy that,” I replied. “”Dylan, where are you?”

“I have several men making our way around to the front of the White House.”

“Did you hear the shooter is on the move?”

“I did and I have a visual on him.”

“I want him alive Dylan.”

“I’ll do my best Ace.”

I couldn’t put peoples live at risk wanting to take this person alive but if there was a way to make that happen, I wanted it done. In the dining room Bennie was getting antsy. “Ace, when will this be over?”

“We’re going as fast as we can baby. Is your Dad and Grandmother with you?”

Yes, they’re here and Gloria is holding breakfast for you too.”

“Tell her I said thank you.” I replied.

Outside, Dylan and his team were about to approach the shooter. “Secret Service, drop your weapon now and get down on the ground.

The shooter stopped and looked at Dylan. At first it seemed he was going to comply with the order then his attention returned to the White House. He raised his rifle and started to take aim. “Drop your weapon.”

This made the shooter hesitate as he turned and looked at the two agents. “¿En qué tiene usted interés mí?” (What do you care about me?)

Dylan understood exactly what he was saying. “Cuidamos, ahora dejamos caer su arma y pusimos las manos en el aire.” (We do care, now drop your weapon and put your hands in the air.)

“¿Dónde está el Presidente? ¿Por qué no está él aquí ni cuida él?” (Where is the President? Why isn't he here or doesn't he care?)

“Por supuesto cuida. ¿Se recuperaría alguien quién es armado y disparando en su casa? (Of course he cares. Would you come around someone who is armed and shooting at their house?)

This made the suspect think. Dylan was watching the man closely as he continued to keep him in his sights. “Supongo que tiene razón.” (I suppose you're right.)

The man seemed to let his guard down as he was giving some serious thought to what Dylan had said. This was now a waiting game. I had returned to the sniper’s roost and was watching the goings on. One of the snipers raised his rifle up. “Stand down.” I shouted.

“Why, he fired on us first. I’d be well within policies to take his out.”

I walked over and took the weapon. “You’re relieved. Consider yourself under suspension until conduct can be evaluated.”

“You fucking pussy,” He snapped as his partner came over and belted him in the mouth.

“Shut it NOW,” The agent shouted. “The order was to stand down because they want him alive. What part of that don’t you understand?”

“You’re just as weak as he is.”

“Get him out of here,” I said as I returned to what was happening outside the fence. “Make sure you have his hand gun.”

Dylan and his partner were still waiting on the suspect to put his weapon down. “Venga en el hombre, puso el rifle abajo.” (Come on man, put the rifle down.)

The suspect didn’t budge then he let the barrel point towards the ground. He started to set the weapon down then without any rhyme or reason, he dropped to one knee then aimed at Dylan. “Down,” Francine shouted.

<BANG, BANG, HANG, HANG>

Dylan and Francine each fired two shots killing the suspect. “Ace, shots fired. We had no choice but to take him out, I’m sorry we couldn’t take him alive.”

“Copy that, I saw the whole incident. You did your best.”

I made the notifications to Sergio so he and his team could come over and pick up the body. The residence remained on lockdown until everything was cleaned up and the area could be reopened.

To be continued...
