They sang, played, showered and partied well through the night
before ambling back to their camper, with those suitors still trying to
tend to Felecia and Es - just in case one or both of the girls suddenly
decided to sleep with them. Guys: you know 'm; you gotta love 'm.
        Not that our girls didn't think about it, now. But they were just
too tired. They gave their good night kisses along with letting some
touches of, uh, things, then joined Jess and Kit already inside taking
each other's clothes off. Flee and Es followed suit, of course, while
Kit joked that the girls all had homework to do. They told him to
blow himself and such as they all slipped naked into their extra-wide
bed and felt and rubbed each other to orgasm before sleep. Mm.
        They slept in again. Missed breakfast in the Polar B'ar again.
Kit needed some extra rest, so Jess stayed with him. Flece and Essy,
though, had gotten asked, so went flying with the boys.
        After some very special loving - since it was just the two of
them - they got together with Puter and asked Sundance if he wanted
to tell the White House that the WPG would have to announce
themselves to the world soon, and were recommending that the
leaders do it first or lose their chance at history and ability to control
events; and to let the Ovalteers know that the Execs knew about the
White House having received all the messages from day one. And
Sunny agreed. Tell them. And he would.
        "Farkin A!" Jess cheered.
        The market was still going down and they were down another
half million, but Kit was gambling that it was about time to buy so
they asked Putey for all his recommendations and programmed the
buys for him to activate automatically at the prices they decided on.
They had a little under $10 million new money ready to fly. Not a
bad feeling. But Kit had something sticking in his craw. And he
didn't know what it was. Something wasn't feeling right somewhere
with the finances. And he had a little guilt about all the money spent
on airplanes and airline service. It could have gone to the funds and
WPG. He hoped the spirits had not abandoned them. And he was
worried about the graduation scenario and the possibility of losing
hold of Jess. A lot of balls in the air. Plus the word on Jess was
getting out, Pute told them. The agents were going to be back,
unless they were idiots.
        She kissed him, saying, "don't go worrying too much on me,
Hotey. It'll give you wrinkles."
        After they talked about how soon to leave Alaska, he called
Ed and gave him the stock tips. Then they headed over to the B'ar
for lunch and Elaine told Kit that she and he were way overdue for
that flight in the Stearman. Well, he couldn't turn that down,
especially at Jessy's insistence, who asked Tom to join her in the
Waco. So the barnstorming recommenced and that day pretty
much ended up in the air or the B'ar or chopping firewood or
helping on the cabin building, Jess loving to give the crews a lift.
After dinner out around the fire, Felecia and Estrella ended up
giving in to their favorite romancers. They each took some
"special time" with them in the camper for their, um, showers.
        The next day our two took a walk in snowshoes up into their
land to pick their homesite and Jess wanted to love Kit there, but
they just hugged and kissed a good long time as Jack took a walk
through the trees, checking the perimeter for Ursus horribilis
(Griz), and such, to protect the guys. She talked with Kit about
how she felt about her first home with him. He would have
proposed if he had not felt too old to, or that she was too
young to be bothered with that. And his eyes told her that that's
what he was thinking. And she smiled very deeply. Then they
looked up when they heard the pair of eagles floating overhead
call out, and then heard a mountain lion roar off in the distance.
        Flee and Essy found them after yells, coming up the slope
with their lovers, and joined in on the hugs, telling them how
much they loved the site that the guys - Jess - had picked. Jack
came back and they all went down to where they had been
clearing the trees for the driveway and got back to the work.
        And that was that day. O, though there had been that little
accident with the Stearman, but Wiley or John Glenn were not
hurt and the ship would be back in commission soon enough.
        At the "roundup" around the fire, Elaine and Tom were
"awarded" the cabin that had been finished that day. And they
were talking about getting married. Wiley kept haranguing that
he should have gotten the cabin, especially with his injuries from
saving "Godspeed's" ole life. But no one took him too seriously.
        Our guys saw the market had been down again, when they
"heyed" with Puter, but it was a whisker from buying time. The
flying village was pulling in enough money to carry the airline.
They weren't losing much at all, and pressing further into Asia.
And, as expected, Sundance reported that there was no response
from the White House, making Jessica so mad that she talked
about calling Bill. Putey told them that there was a bunch of
excitement about the recent message, too, and that the search
for the WPG "operatives" was picking back up.
        Then Kit felt that thing in his craw again. But he figured
out that it was just that if they had found El Dorado, it would
have been more than $1oo million. Well, despite the Silver. He
felt it was odd, too, that the Gold had come so close to exactly
$1ooM. One hundred and eight, in fact, they had learned from
Julian that day, and Kit remembered that that was the number
in some old religion for mystical stuff. Or maybe from the
Great Pyramid numbers, he told Jess. And what that was telling
him, he had no idea.
        Well, crunching into their camper bed was getting to be a
little too funny around camp. So Flece and Essy abandoned the
ship and stayed the night in their lovers' campers. But that was
plenty cool. They were doing a touch of the crystal, too, which
was going around camp from a couple sources, though extremely
discretely, no one wanting to disturb the old vets' sensibilities.
Jess and Kit were happy having just the other again, though Elaine
and Tom stopped by, which was just fine and, uh, special. And
Kit, well, Kit has never left Heaven since that day in Northern
Kentucky. He just moves around inside.
