#13 of a tail of magic and mystery


Chapter thirteen

I get asked several times over the years to show off my home to the television public. I have said no but Alice gets me to say yes. So I am giving a tour of the house.

The helicopter lands at the helipad and the video crew gets off.

"Welcome to my island home. Let me show you around."

"These are my kids, Alice, Angela, Michael, Jasmine and Jessica."

I lead them to the living room.

"This is the living area, Here we have a Flat screen television that is capable of picking up any television broadcast in the world, without satellites, seven speaker surround sound, every video game console currently out now And a Digital Video Recorder with capabilities unlike current DVRs."

I lead them into the kitchen.

"This is the kitchen. Every meal not eaten out at our favorite restaurants is made here. Restaurant quality appliances and the walk-in fridge and freezer."

"May we see what is in the fridge and freezer."

"Sure."

I open up the fridge and they look inside to see cases of fruits and vegetables. A case of Tofu and a package of chicken.

I open the freezer to see more meat. Chicken, beef, pork and tofu. I get asked about the meat and my children.

"Well, I haven't gone veggie yet and my kids can eat some meat, Alice when she was pregnant with Angela, craved pork. Strange but true."

I show them the dining area.

"This is the dining area, every meal eaten at home is eaten here and we eat together as often as we can. My kids are the equivalent of five star chefs and they have access to thousands of recipes."

I lead them to the bedrooms.

"This first room is the birthing room, this is where I caught baby Angela when she was born."

"The other five rooms are standard guest bedrooms, simply dressed for any guests. This is the guest bathroom, I don't have gold plated faucets, the house never came with it."

"And here is the master bedroom, where all my kids sleep with me. And where we conceived Angela."

"Come with me for a special treat. This is the nerve center for the house." I open up a closet. "This is Maggie, my computer system that runs the house, my websites, and the business. She is a custom built system running at ten peta-hertz calculating at 80 quadrillion calculations a second. Her hard drive contains 50 exa-bytes or 50 times ten to the eighteenth power bytes of information. Plenty of space to store the entire Internet and every book stored in every library around the world electronically at the same time. She has enough on board memory to run one million programs simultaneously of random size without slowdown, currently she is running two web sites with thousands of hits daily, the business on Honolulu and maintaining the house, monitoring temperature and needs, Hackers beware, she has a retaliate button, If you attack her to gather data, she will retaliate HARD, using the full power of the T-3 line she is connected to. And don't try to steal her, If she is fully disconnected from the network she is programed to shut down with a message 'this is a stolen computer' and attempt to make contact out to the police with her on board cell phone. To get to her, you would have to fly to the island, land, get around us, use a special command that we only know and unplug her, then fly off."

"Here is a special room, The music room. Inside is about every piece of musical instruments created in the world, we get together and play these instruments when we want. Alice is good on the wind instruments and Michael is good on strings. Alice can be seen playing for an audience of one, Angela, when she needs to go to sleep."

We head out of the house to another building.

"This is the guest house, inside is your standard setup, living area, kitchen, bedrooms. It is rarely used except when flight crews get grounded by bad weather. You will notice that this place is clean, even though it hasn't been used in months. There are spells to prevent dust from entering and bugs too."

"And we have the relaxation area, a Jacuzzi for the bad days at work, places to sun your fur and watch the sun rise or set. It is very romantic."

"Thank you for coming to visit, come back again."

Time passes and Angela is six months old and she is eating solid food and making messes. We are at 100 percent catches on the potty and the baby is learning to associate the potty to body functions.

I get an unusual pair of visitors, the first is the Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations and the second is the Secretary General of the United Nations.

"What can I do for you, gentlemen"

I get informed about a drought over Mainland China that is persisting for the last couple of years. Farm land is being lost to the desert.

"You should have called me earlier."

Me and Jessica fly out to Beijing and look over the damage and decide on damage control.

We cast a spell over the area that would draw unsalted water from the oceans and slowly drop it over the farm lands as it is needed at an quarter inch an hour. Don't think it will drown the crops. If natural rain occurs, this will supplement it to the land needs

After we complete our mission in China, (And being paid well for it.) I am alerted of the situation in Africa. These countries are worse off than China. (And they can't pay as well.) I cast the same spell and Africa is a green continent. After getting paid what they can afford, I get a situation in North America. Seems that the aquifer supplying water to crops there is running dry. (Especially when water level in the wells have dropped from 100 feet to 200 feet in forty years.) I repeat the spell and the U.S. compensates me for my spell. I get thanks from farmers and ranchers.

This day I am in the office, Michael is going over the books when I hear a knock on the door.

There is Alice with a man I have never met but I know really well. He is the CEO of the company I worked for just before I consulted for the military.

"Greeting to you. What can I do for you?"

"I heard about the security system you use, how does it work?"

"As the person enters the store, their mind is read, those looking or purchasing items go about their business. Those looking to shoplift, are watched from the moment they enter the store, they steal, and as they take one step outside the store, they are secured by magic and store personnel and police are alerted. Even those that forget to pay are stopped by the system, but they are allowed to return and pay for their purchase. I even have a weapons policy, no guns, no sharp knives so no employee is injured detaining a shoplifter."

"How much to put this system in all our stores worldwide?"

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"I don't know, how about ten grand per location?"

"Sold. Send a notice to all locations informing them of the security upgrade and as soon as I get the check, the system will be activated."

"I'll get the check in the mail to you. How fast can you get it done?"

"I can have the spells in place in twenty four hours for the continental United States and under two hours for Alaska and Hawaii each."

I wait for the check and when it arrives, I begin casting, there are ten stores in Hawaii alone and three in Alaska. Which makes casting easy. I cast the spell to affect North America which takes the required twenty four hours which I cast at the airport in Los Angeles.

After the first person is caught shoplifting from the stores, I am paid a bonus of a million dollars. Especially after a group of people was stopped at the front door with a gun in the waist band with shoplifting on their minds. They fired into the store, personnel and customers, hitting no one. They were arrested ten blocks away. The security tapes saw to their downfall.

I get hundreds of requests from other stores, from Mom and Pop type to chain retail and restaurants. (Especially dine and dash customers.) I fulfill these requests as they come in. These spells last as long as the place stays in business. Once the place closes down forever, the spell dissipates.

I finally get a break and head to a main fur convention for a relaxing time with my fellow furries. I offer bracelets for twenty five bucks that transforms themselves into their fursona as long as he or she is wearing it. (With out committing a crime.) Jessica is casting spells for temporary transformations and I get cornered by a female with a unusual request.

"I want a furry child to care for, like yours."

"Why do you want a furry child?"

"I am at the age to want a child and I want to live my dreams through my child."

"I want to know your true intentions and your state of mind. Jessica, can you come here a minute?"

Jessica comes over.

"Jessica, go in the back and interview this lady."

"Why Daddy?"

"I want to know what she is thinking and if she would be a good candidate to carry a hybrid child. Give her a complete physical and mental evaluation."

Jessica and Janice go into the back and an hour later they come back out.

"She is the tiniest bit overweight but physically and mentally sound."

"What do you do for a living?"

"I am a computer programmer."

"Are you willing to give it up for nineteen years, move to an unfamiliar location, be well cared for and fed for those nineteen years or longer, depending on how many children you want to have.

"Will I have outside contact?

"Telephone, Internet, Family and Friends visiting you anytime you want and the ability to walk around carrying your new child in public."

"What about money?"

"Food, clothing, medical care, housing, telephone service and Internet are provided. As for walk around money, it can be provided as needed."

"Where do I sign up?"

"Give me your contact information and we will be in touch."

This young lady gives me her information and we part company.

A week after the con, I show up at her house and speak to her again.

"Are you sure about going through with this?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then we have some work to do. Lets begin packing."

We begin packing up the loose stuff, knickknacks, separating stuff she needs and don't need. (Pots and pans, bed, couch, television.) The stuff she needs, is packed into a small rental truck, the rest is sent to a volunteer based used item reclamation center. And the stuff they can't take is properly disposed of.

The next day Janice quits her job, (Which she hates her boss.) goes to her bank and closes out her bank account, leaving enough to cover her transactions, then heads for the company to drop out of her lease of her apartment. Only to find that she is liable for the remaining time of her lease and to get out, she must pay for six months of rent. (The remaining time) I tell her not to worry and ask how much was her rent. She says five hundred a month. Five hundred times six months is three thousand dollars. I head for the bank and go inside to make a transaction. Ten minutes later I have a bank check for the correct amount and we return to the holding company to turn in the cash and her keys.

After stopping at the post office to forward some mail and selling her car at a used car lot, we head for the airport and the private jet sitting there. We load up the luggage compartment. I go and leave Janice in the jet with Jessica who helps us pack and ship. They watch the local television from Hawaii and show her local video of the island she is staying at and her new living quarters (The guest house)

"That is where I am going to live."

"You don't have to live there, we have guest rooms available. My brother and sisters are great chefs and can cook up anything as long as we have the ingredients."

I return and we take off, Flying from Cincinnati, Ohio to Honolulu, Hawaii.

"So, What is going to happen now?"

"First, we get you settled, you are traveling through a couple time zones. Once you have adjusted, we begin the procedure. Once the procedure is complete and we confirm that you are pregnant, we will have a press conference.

"And what will this procedure do exactly?"

"We alter one of your egg cells, adjusting its DNA to the specifications needed and activate its self replication systems. You won't have to have sex if you don't want to and you don't have to get out of your clothes."

"I was hoping to be studded out to her brother."

"You still can, we have a rule, NO means NO. If you don't want to have sex, then you don't have to." Jessica says.

"But first, we need to run a full medical panel on you."

I get up and have Janice lay her chair back as I run a full diagnostic panel on her and correct a few problems that might harm the baby.

"All done, I corrected a few problems that might harm either you or the new baby."

"What kind of problems?"

"Your heart might not allow for the strain for two, I corrected it. You also have the beginnings of diabetes, I also corrected for that. You are as healthy as the day you was born."

"Thank you."

"You are quite welcome."

Jessica, in the middle of the flight, asks what Janice wants to eat. She says something native to Hawaii.

"Would you like meat or vegetarian?"

"Meat, please."

Jessica creates three plates full of her favorite native dishes from a luau

Janice starts eating and watching Jessica as she eats pork, chicken and fish. (Though not in any large quantity.)

After eating, I ask, "You look like you have questions."

"Just a little confused, I thought Jessica would be a strict vegetarian. But I just watched her eat everything I did."

"There is something you should know, My kids can eat meat, just not great quantities of it. I first figured it out when my oldest child was young. I had given her a little taste of meat and it hadn't affected her. Then I allowed her unlimited amounts of meat and she threw up over the floor. I finally figured out that between half and three quarters of a serving per meal was the perfect amount to feed her. This way, Daddy can get his meat, the kids can try some too and load up heavily on vegetables. And I am going to teach that lesson to Angela when she is old enough."

"And who is Angela?"

"Angela is one of the second generation born to natural child birth from Alice. We have video of her being born if you want to see it. I warn you that it is pretty graphic."

Janice is shown the video of Angela's birth in its full glory, especially the crotch shot of the baby coming out. And we tell her that everything was done with little intervention. Magical or otherwise.
