The Protector
Chapter 62

I finally decided to go back to my room, but I had to sneak in as I spotted Tiny pacing back and forth on the patio. I went through the kitchen and managed to get by him. When I got to my room, I sat down and called the Director and brought him up to speed on the new information. When I told him who had been providing the weapons, he almost went ballistic on me.

"Jon, we know of this man and he is a French Citizen who is related to the Ambassador of Cultural Affairs. He went to Africa after a disgraceful incident with one of the Counts and has been in hiding ever since. The Count has been sending agents out looking for him for about three years now. He was also a close friend of the man who previously owned the island that you now own. With this new information, we can start watching to see if he shows his hand. He is also known to have close ties with a certain Mid-Eastern rogue nation. He is said to have been seen in the company of several African Military leaders recently. Jon, this is becoming even more wide spread than we originally thought. Maybe you better take your family home for a few months, and give us time to look into this a little more. Anyway, I think you are expected to testify within the next two weeks at a Federal hearing."

"I knew it was coming up, but I cannot in good conscience forget that two of my guests are still in danger from the church. I refuse to abandon them for any reason, Director."

"We have taken the liberty of handling that situation for you, Mon Ami. That is what the Attaché is coming tomorrow to discuss with you and your two guests. I think you and your guests will be very happy with what we are about to propose. I will not give it away, but I think it will take some of the pressure off you for right now. We also have drop-shipped the crates you wanted to a gun store for you to pick up when you get home. All the customs paperwork has been expedited and cleared. Also, I sent an agent to check out your property. From what he said, he had to change his trousers after he tried to crawl under your fence. According to him, your four legged friends knew he was there, and waited until he got halfway in before politely reminding him that he wasn't wanted. Although he wasn't injured, he said that having his head inside so many fangs would give him nightmares for many years to come. He said to tell you that only an idiot would ever try to come in without an invite. That has gotten quite a few laughs around the office. He said next time he would refuse the assignment if it was connected with your name and home."

We chatted a few minutes more and then he said he had to go. I sat back and had to chuckle to myself, trying to picture in my mind what the Director had told me. I got up to hit the intercom when Kat came in from the pool.

"Jon, why didn't you tell me this thing turned invisible when it got wet? I haven't been so embarrassed in years. Myrna and Sally both thought it was funny because my face was almost as red as my hair. Of course those two refused to go in the water, but kept telling me to go in. I found out what was going on when one of the native women asked if I would buy her one and send it to her. I was the only one out of our crowd to go swimming and now I know why. Myrna said there was a warning on the tag, but I was so excited I just ripped it off and put it on. Did you know that the native women here only wear tops when they work in the house?"

"Kat honey, I just found it out earlier myself. I thought you knew, and I didn't come out to the pool because I didn't want you mad at me for looking at all the nude women. I just about had a heart attack when I looked out and saw you on the diving board. That picture will never leave my mind, and I just wish I could have taken a picture. Besides, the men on the ships with binoculars must have had headaches, from what I saw before I went to the village earlier. Honey, you're more beautiful than any woman out there, and you certainly have nothing to be ashamed of, by showing it off. Besides, as I was reminded earlier, women in the states have an inbred fear of going nude for some reason. Now in the European countries they don't have that hang-up and think nothing of it. That's why most countries have a clothing optional beach."

"I know all that, Jon, but I still don't have to flaunt it. I am a married woman now, even if my husband isn't the jealous type."

"Yes and a very beautiful one at that Kat. Let's drop it so you can go get your shower. Then we can eat because I am starved."

"Ok, Jon, but only if you wash my back."

We finally got around to eating about three hours later. Every time I looked at Kat, she would turn a little red in the face. She told me no more Wicked Weasel Suits for her. I made a disappointed noise and she got red again and told me to stop it. I tried to leer at her but she kicked me under the table, so I started laughing instead. I was still chuckling when Trina came in to gather the dishes with Sally right behind her.

"Well Dad, what did you think of Kat's bikini? Pretty cool, huh? She was the hit of the pool today. I think the men on the boat whistled all afternoon. She sure likes the water."

By the time Sally finished, Kat was red again. Sally being Sally, she totally lost it within a few seconds. Kat jumped up and grabbed Sally and started tickling her. Sally was laughing so hard she had to run to the bathroom. I got that look from Kat so I didn't say a word, just sat and drank my coffee.

When Sally came out, Kat was sitting across from me so she came up and whispered in my ear; "God, I hope when I get that old, I am as beautiful as she is."

I choked on my coffee and sprayed it halfway across the room. While I was choking and Kat was staring at me, Sally made a run for the door. When I finally was able to breathe again, Kat wanted to know what she said. I tried changing the subject, but Kat was having none of it. I finally had to tell, her fully expecting her to get upset at me. To my surprise it was the opposite.

"Jon, I think you have done too good a job raising her. That sounds like something you would say. God, she is so sweet. I have a feeling this incident isn't over yet because Myrna will have something to say too. You do know it was Myrna's idea to buy this particular brand of suit, don't you? She said that's all they wore when she was in college. Jon, I don't know how old she is, but I have to tell you she is beautiful, and built better than I am."

Now at this point, I decided discretion was the better part of valor and changed the subject. I started telling her what Koma and Pala had learned from our prisoner. She asked me a few questions and I answered them the best I could, and then told her about the visitors coming in the morning. We discussed our going home in a few days and what it would entail, and how long I thought I would have to wait around there to see if I had to testify.

"I don't expect to have to. They have an iron clad case and it is necessary for me to be there the first day of trial, but I will probably be free to leave after that. Quanta is tying up all the loose ends on his side to make sure we get off ok. I think this is going to be an adventure we will all remember the rest of our lives."

"I am really looking forward to going to the temples, Jon. You know in a few more months I will be too big to travel, so I want to do it before that happens. Sylveen told me a little more about it and they are looking forward to going as much as I am. Sally is so happy she can hardly stand still when she talks about it. Maggie and Katie are not going to go though. She said she didn't want to chance it because of her age and being more than three months pregnant. Katie has to go back to school and Tiny says his business won't run by itself."

"Yeah, I kinda figured that one out. I knew Tiny wouldn't go because he is worried about Maggie being pregnant so late in life. I had to sneak by him to come up here earlier. He was really upset about the bathing suits, especially when he found out the effect of water on them. I think he tried to get them to change but Maggie set him straight in no uncertain terms."

Kat busted out laughing and said that somehow she must have been the only one who didn't know, turning red again as she said it. I had to admit, seeing her blush about it so much was a total delight. In my narrow-minded way and being her husband, I kinda liked seeing her in the suit earlier. Maybe I ought to build a swimming pool at the house and talk her into wearing it, just for me. Her next words made me turn a little red.

"Don't even think about it buster. I will never wear that thing again, even for you."

"How 'bout in the shower?"

"Not even there, you perv."

I must have looked at her funny because that little girl laughter I loved so much came out again. I got up and went to her and kissed her, and we went to bed early for a change.

I woke the next morning with the feeling I was being watched and when I opened my eyes, Kat was above me staring at my face. Her eyes seemed like they were glowing in the sun when I looked at them. I was immediately soundly kissed and as I turned toward her to reciprocate there came that irritating knock at the door again. We both smiled and said come in at the same time. Sally stuck her head in and asked if we were awake yet? We both shouted out "no". She looked at both of us smiling and quickly said; "I read in a book that old folks can only do it every twelve hours."
