Chapter 9

As soon as Benji and Mike were in the limo they removed their helmets.

"Boy I hate helmet. It is so heavy and hot. Too bad it doesn't have air
conditioning."

"Maybe the next one that's coming out next month. So what did you think of
your first security op."

"It was ok but so boring."

"Well tomorrow I'll take another two and you and Mike can go site seeing
and shopping."

"But I don't have any money Brin."

"I don't either but Mike has enough credit cards he could buy half the
city."

"Well maybe not that much." Mike laughed

It wasn't long before we were back at the castle. I removed my Dress
Uniform and slipped on a pair of sweats. Benji changed into work dress.
Just a little bit disappointed we didn't play around first. We headed down
for dinner, a more relaxed affair than the first day. After a hearty dinner
we retired to the big sitting room with a roaring fire in the big
fireplace. Thomas poured drinks all around and we sat and talked about the
day. I didn't mention my visit to the Israeli Ambassador. After the long
day it didn't take long before I caught myself yawning. Damn I was tired.

"Thomas I'm sorry but I am really worn out. I need a good night sleep to
prepare for the penny pinchers tomorrow."

"Yes you will need all your wits about you for them." he laughed.

I stood and again thanked Thomas for his wonderful hospitality. Then Benji
and I retired for the night. After undressing I laid Benji down and slowly
sucked him off. After which he sucked me off. We then shut the lights out
and spooned together and went to sleep. I awoke when my alarm went off. I
rolled Benji over and kissed him good morning. We didn't play around this
morning. We went and had a long shower. After shaving I again put on my
dress uniform. Benji dressed in work dress. We were about to head
downstairs when Mike walked in also in work dress.

"Anything you need me to buy for you Sir."

"Yeah Mike. How about a couple of pairs of jeans, a couple pairs of shorts,
a bathing suit and a pair thongs."

"Thongs Sir?"

"Yeah something I can wear on the beach, you know sandals."

"You can buy Benji anything he wants. Any idea what your going to show him
today."

"Anything he wants."

Benji was just looking back and forth from Mike and me as we talked.

We headed downstairs for breakfast. No big rush today. Two of my security
detail were already there in full combat, with weapons.

"Good Morning gentle men. All ready. Did you have some breakfast?"

"Yes Sir." they answered together.

"Well Brin have you figured out how much this deployment is going to cost
you." Thomas asked.

"To break even about 120 billion over 6 years."

"Jesus Christ, that's a lot of money."

"Well actually it's going to cost the UN about 150 billion. I'm not a
charity and the initial costs will probably be higher. Just paying their
wages will cost close to 120 billion and then add in supporting them with
everything they need for sustained operations will be another 3-5 billion a
year. My accountants haven't worked it out exactly yet, but projections put
my actual gross income at some where between 300 and 500 million."

"Well all I can say is good luck. Knowing the accountants at the UN they
are going to fight tooth and nail to reduce that."

"Its pretty simple Thomas. Either they want me there or they don't. If they
want me in Chad then its going to cost them. They can take it or leave it.
But if they change their mind, which I really doubt considering the
Secretary General has already passed on the resolution their not going to
have any choice but approve the money."

After breakfast we went out and climbed into the armored limo and headed
for the UN. When we arrived there were only 3 or 4 reporters on hand. After
a few quick questions we were again escorted into the UN headquarters. No
mention was made of my armed security guards this time. I guess some
animals are more equal than others.

Well it was a very long boring day. They picked on every single cost that I
had laid out and even picked at my projected profit. They finally
grudgingly signed off on the costs, but only after I insinuated I would
just cancel the deployment. It was after 3 pm when I was finally able to
leave the UN. I directed the driver to take me to Mosel Jewelries. Mosel
was world renowned for their exquisite designs. I needed a ring for Benji,
but not just an ordinary one. The building Mosel occupied was a veritable
fortress. We had to ring to get in and then only one of my body guards
could accompany me.

"What can I do for you Sir."

"I need a ring."

"Ah for your girl friend?"

"No actually it is for my boyfriend. My lover. The one I am going to
 marry."

He never batted an eye, just led me over to a display with a multitude of
male rings. I looked at all of them but couldn't see exactly what I wanted.
I saw a plane gold band, very wide, but very plane.

"Could you modify that one for me." I asked pointing to the plane gold
band.

"Anything or anyway."

Can you set diamonds into the ring spiraling around the entire band. Also
engrave the inside with FOREVER MY LOVE."

"Yes. The type and quality of the diamonds."

"I think blue, up to 6 or 7 carets total."

"And when would you like this Sir."

"Tomorrow afternoon by five."

"To have it done by tomorrow will be very, very expensive."

"It's only money. And where my love comes into it I don't care what it
costs. Can you do it."

"Yes Sir. The cost will be about 18 to 20 thousand Euros'."

"Fine I'll be back tomorrow to pick it up."

We left the store and climbed back into the limo and headed to our
temporary home.

Before I left to go back to the UN I asked Mike for the Amex card. This day
was spent getting and confirming the rules of engagement in Chad and Sudan.
We were allowed both to protect ourselves and use preemptive attacks if
they occurred within the Darfur region of Sudan. We would have to report
all attacks of either rebel or Sudanese soldiers on the UN Forces.

After leaving the UN we went back to the jeweler to pick up the ring for
Benji. It cost almost 20 thousand Euros'. But was very beautiful. I hoped
he liked it. After getting back to the castle I changed into a pair of
jeans that Mike had bout for me. They were a good fit, but for being a
little snug in the crotch area. No doubt Benji's doing. I went down and
found Mike, Benji and Thomas talking in the sitting room. Benji was telling
Thomas all the places Mike had taken him. I sat down beside him and he
turned and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at him and then handed him the
small wrapped parcel.

"For Me." he asked

"For you my love."

His eyes got as big as saucers as he looked at the ring. Then they filled
with tears as he shakily pulled it out to look at. I reached over and took
it and slipped it on his right ring finger.

He wrapped his arms around and just held me as he cried in joy. I don't
think there was a dry eye in the room.

Thomas turned.

"This calls for a celebration. Champagne I think would be right."

Thomas walked into his wine cellar and then walked out with a large dusty
bottle.

"Ah yes. Hiedsecht 59, I've always wanted to try this but never had a very
special occasion. I think is a very special occasion."

He carefully popped the cork and poured several glasses. He handed one each
to everyone including the stolic Swiss Guards and my security men.

"Here's to Brin and Benji. May they have a long and happy life together.
May their travels be happy and lives more fulfilled. Brin and Benji."

"Brin and Benji." everyone chorused.

After everyone had got back into place.

"I have some other news for you Brin or should I know say Commander Brin. I
have tendered my resignation to the UN effective the fifteenth of next
month."

"Are you sure this is what you want Thomas?"

"Yes I am quite sure. I have been thinking about it a long time. I'm tired
of all the crap that goes on in that Ivory Tower called the UN. I yearn for
something more. Your offer was a god send to me. I have also taken a leave
until my tenure is up."

"Excellent. After I arrive at my next stop, I'll send the SST to pick you
up here to take you to Edmonton for your formal induction into the ISC and
then it will run you to Germany where you can begin to familiarize yourself
with the 1st Armored Division ISC. I'll inform both ISC Headquarters and
Gen Lang of your arrival and status."

"You don't play around do you Brin."

"Not ussally, besides don't want to give you a chance to change your mind."

After an enjoyable dinner, we all retired after that long three days of
negotiation. Although Benji wanted to get intament I told him tomorrow
night.

"Where are we going tomorrow?"

"It's a secret and a surprise."

The next morning after dressing I called the airport and ordered the pilot
to file a flight plan for Saudi Arabia. I also called ISC headquarters to
give them the heads up on Sir Thomas' arrival. And his status. I called Gen
Lang and told him who his replacement was and that the change of Command
ceremony would be on the fifteenth of March.

After a good Breakfast, hand shakes all around, we climbed into a limo for
the trip to the airport. I was very moved by the salutes and presented arms
by the Swiss Guards as we exited the Estate. With a full military escort
the trip was very quick to the International Airport in Bern. After again
thanking Sir Thomas for his hospitality and soon after our arrival our bags
were quickly transferred to the White SST and quickly we were in the air
climbing to 30,000 ft. With the aircraft now traveling at close to 1500
mph, I wasn't surprised when the pilot asked me to come to the bridge. When
I entered the cockpit I could see two F-15 fighters with Star of David
markings on both sides of us.

"They say we are in violation of an IDF no fly zone and has ordered me to
form on him and follow. He also says there are two more F-15's behind."

"I suggest you follow his orders."

I exited the cockpit with a smile on my face.

Benji was peering out the windows at the aircraft sitting right on our
wingtip.

"What's happening Brin?"

"I think we are going to forced to land so they can check us out."

He was shaking a little bit.

"Their not going to arrest me are they?"

"Not likely love, not as long as your with me."

We slowly lost altitude and soon were over Israel. The plane was ordered to
land at a military airbase on the coast north of Tel Aviv. After landing
the aircraft was escorted into hanger by armed ground forces. Stairs were
run up to the door and I got up and walked out. Standing at the bottom of
the stairs was Ari Ben Israel. Along with about 200 men. An order rang out
and all men came to attention.

"Welcome to Israel Commander."

I walked down the stairs and was immediately grabbed in a bear hug by Ari.

"It has been too long old friend. Way too long since you last visited."

"I've missed you to Ari."

"Would you like to inspect the Honor Guard. Commander." He said very
formally.

I wasn't sure what was up but.

"Yes Thank You Ari."

An order was shouted in Hebrew and men quickly open order marched and
quickly dressed ranks. They were very disciplined. I noted none were armed.
Intriguing. I also noted about 30-40 were women.

Before I turned to inspect the troops, Mike and Benji came down the steps.
Mike first saluted and then was grabbed in the same bear hug I had been.

"Shalom Mike it is good to see you."

"Shalom General, it's been a long time."

"Call me Ari Mike, I am no longer a General."

"To me Sir you will always be a General Sir."

He turned to Benji.

"Shalom Benji Sadac. Welcome to my Country. Welcome to my home."

"Shalom General. Thank you." Benji said although it sounded like shalooom.

"Benji you need not call me General, you can call me Ari."

"No Sir I can't. I haven't yet earned the right to call you anything but
Sir or General. Looking at the number of rows of decorations you wear you
have earned the right to being called General or Sir. I am as I told Sir
Thomas, just a boy. When I am more mature and have gained more, more I don't
know what, but I will, then I would be honored to call you Ari."

Ari looked at me, then Mike and finally Benji. He laughed out loud and
grabbed Benji, lifted him off his feet and wrapped in a bear hug and then
kissed him on both cheeks.

"You honor me more than you know Benji. I wish I had a thousand more like
you. So refreshing a thought these days."

Ari had retired after almost thirty years in the Israeli Defense Forces.
Rising from a private in an infantry company to Chief of Staff IDF. His
many commands and battles were legendary in the IDF and his consulting
services were in demand all over the globe.

With peace finally achieved in the middle east, the IDF although still a
formidable fighting force had reduced their numbers down to less than
60,000 men and women well below the peak of over 200 thousand men and
women. I had about 600 ex-IDF personnel working for the ISC.

"When your ready Commander." Ari said to me.

With Mike and Benji, I started to walk down the line of soldiers. I stopped
on occasion and asked quick questions. Nearing the end I spotted one I
knew.

"Shalom Aaron, your father is treating well."

"Shalom Father, yes and no. Welcome home Father."

"Well at least your too big now to spank." I laughed.

"But he still beats me Father." he said with a smile.

"I'll bet he gets as good as he gives."

"Yes Sir."

"See you at the house son."

I finished inspecting the guard and then Ari dismissed them.

"I see your son is a fine looking soldier, very much like his father."

"He has expressed a desire to join the ISC. In fact all these men and women
has expressed the same desire."

"And your opinion Ari."

"My opinion is of no consequence. Now let us go home, my home and yours as
long as you wish old friend."

We piled into several open topped jeeps. As we exited the hanger I noted
both armored personal carriers ahead and behind us as we headed out of the
base. The salutes were more than just perfunctory. I could tell all who
knew Ari were both in awe of him and probably loved him. The drive was
about thirty minutes until we turned off the main road into a paved single
lane leading to what looked like a medieval castle on a promontory.

"My home Brin."

"It looks like a Crusader Fort."

"It is or was, but it was never occupied by the crusaders. It was destroyed
by Saladin long before it could be occupied in force. If it had been,
history today might be quite different as you will see."

We entered through a gate that showed the walls almost 30 ft thick with a
high gate house. After unloading and being showed in and to our quarters we
all met in a great hall in the center of the fortress. The first thing I
noted was that this still was a fortress. Every single person we met were
armed. Ari had restored the great hall and now used it as his command
center. I had hoped for a relaxing stay, but everywhere I looked, I was
sure I was just in another command center, just like home in Edmonton.

Ari walked in wearing a pair of shorts sandals and a t-shirt.

"When are you going to learn to relax Brin?"

"Well looking at all this makes me believe you are not as retired as you
say. I'm not sure this is where I would like to relax."

"Eh! This is where I work. Come let me show you."

He led off down a long hallway and then through a door into a wonderful
looking sitting room.

"Through that door there leads to the terrace, and from there down to the
beach. Why don't you all get out of your work clothes and then we can sit
out in the sun and enjoy the afternoon sun. Better bring sunscreen."

"Ok you win for now."

We went back and changed and then met Ari on the terrace. Benji went and
looked out over the terrace wall.

"Wow! The ocean. Can I go for a swim?"

"Lets all go for a swim." Ari said.

"Cool." was all Benji said.

We walked down the steps from the terrace and there was the Mediterranean.
Blue inviting. Benji ran and jumped into the light surf. Mike was quick to
follow and I made it a few seconds later. Ari just walked into the surf,
letting it wash over him. We splashed and swam for a couple of hours. I
felt the tension slowly leaving my body. The surf and sun doing their
magic. I slowly waded out and just dropped on the warm sand. Totally
relaxed I watched as Mike, Ari and Benji played in the afternoon sun.

"Hello Father."

I turned and looked at Aaron. A bronzed giant. I noted a very large basket
filling his shorts and if I hadn't been his god father and I hadn't been
more interested in younger men I could imagine myself in bed with this
beautiful young man.

"Hello Aaron, I wish you would call me Brin."

He sat down and wrapped his arms around me. "I love you father, uh Brin."

"I love you to Aaron."

"No I mean I really love you. I want to sleep with you. I want to feel you
inside me, I want to taste all you have. But I know it will never be. You
are in love with Benji. I see it your eyes and I envy him so much."

"Does Ari know your gay?"

"Yes."

"He isn't very happy is he?"

"Well it's not that. It's that I want to join the ISC he is so upset
 about."

"Because I want to be part of your personal security force that bothers
him."

I needed to straighten him out real quick.

"Well even if you joined my company, there is no guarantee you would become
part of my personal security. I don't want crying young men. I want men who
put their lives above all else. I can see your not ready yet for that
Aaron. I'm sorry I agree with your father. I love you Aaron and always will
but to part of me. My Security you have to love more than me. You have to
love everyone who works for me more than you love anything else in the
world."

"Then you wouldn't let me join the ISC?"

"No. What I said was I'm no sure your ready."

I turned just in time to receive a young Benji landing on top of me and
kissing me.

"This is the bested surprise. I love it here. Can we stay forever?"

"Well maybe a week or ten days."

"Cool." then jumped and headed back into the surf. I watched as he jumped
on Mike and dragged him under.

I turned to Aaron.

"Son you don't have to prove anything to me. Your record in Combat shows
you know what to do in any circumstance but. Could you stand side by side
with a Moslem and defend his life without any concern for your own."

"I don't know Brin."

"When you know. Let me know and there will be a place in the International
Security Command for you."

"Yes Sir I will. Now I need to think. Thank you Father."

He turned and headed up the beach to the castle.

Ari plopped down on the sand beside me.

"You know he's gay Ari?"

"Like father, like son. I am to Brin. I loved his mother more than words
can describe, but in Combat, too many virile young men and not enough
women. I came to love several young men in my life. I have one now, a
sabra, and I would not change for all the women in the world."

"Ari can you do me a favor."

"Brin anything I can do for you is not a favor. You are God Father to my
son. Anything I do for you would be a honor."

"Can you arrange for a priest or rabbi to marry Benji and me?"

"Brin same sex marriges are against the law in Israil."

"Well I can get a priest in from NorAm that will do the ceremony, but I
would rather I got one from here."

"Now Ari there is more. I want to invite some special guests to the
ceremony."

"Yah. And you want them to arrive quietly too no doubt?"

"Yes."

"Maybe I shouldn't have invited you to visit."

When I looked at him with a shocked look on my face.

"HA, Ha, ha, only kidding you my friend. I will do this because I love you,
in fact more than that I love Benji too."

"Thanks Ari."

"Maybe we will have a double wedding. I love the young man I have and would
do anything for him. I will ask him to marry me."

"Ok I need a phone to put a few things in motion. How about Sunday. That
way I don't conflict with the Sabbath."

"Sunday would be good, but I will need a ring for my lover and I can't get
one here."

"BENJI, BENJI, come over here please."

Benji reluctantly came out of the surf. Mike looked relieved that I had
called him.

"Yes Brin." as he sat down beside and just looked at me. I almost melted on
the spot. I loved they way he could look at me make me want to grab him and
pull him into my arms.

"Show Ari the ring I gave you."

Benji pulled the ring off and handed it to Ari.

Ari looked closely at the ring and even read the inscription inside. He
reached over and grabbed Benji's right hand and slowly slid it back on.

"You are a very lucky young man Benji. To have such love from this man is
more than anyone could ask for. I pray you will be happy all your life with
this man."

"Thank you Sir. I will always love him."

"So now that you have burned Mike out in the water, I suppose I'm next
Benji?"

"No Brin, I'm hungry and I need to rest for a while."

"Mike could I impose on you to take Benji up and get him something to eat
and let him rest."

"Eh! I need it as much as him. I wish I was as young as him so I could keep
up."

"Getting old Mike. Maybe I should be looking for a younger man to protect
me."

Mike stiffened until he was totally at attention.

"SIR, I"

"Easy Mike I was only kidding. There is no one and I mean no one I would
have at my side but you."

"To have such loyalty from your employees is beyond my comprehension Brin.
I was once told a story by a correspondence friend of mine. Is it true that
you stood in place in Ethiopia when all around your men were being
annihilated and you stood your ground, fighting like a demon just to save
the bodies of those fallen in your employ. Is it true you ordered that no
one be left behind. They said you were stupid. Dead men have no value."

"Ari the International Security Command has adopted the creed of the USMC.
We don't leave our dead on the battlefield. EVER!"

"Enough. I came hear to relax, enjoy the sun and the sea."

"Indeed let us retire to the castle, I will put in touch with company and I'll
arrange to order a ring from the same place as you did. Let's keep this our
secret till the guests start arriving.

End of Chapter 9
