Life In The Fast Lane

Part 1

Once Dotty chewed me out and went home Dad said they were just hooking up the breaker box so when the inspector comes they can get right to work installing electrical stuff in the house. On Monday or Tuesday, the power should be running full strength in an hour or so. I nodded and said. “Sounds good. I’ll start fixing dinner.”

Dad said. “No, you won't, you’ll be sitting on the couch working on a schedule, for your employees so your bookkeeping gets done, and then doing nothing but relaxing spending time with your wife, as she helps the other wives in the house prepare dinner. Besides, you have to call the order in or we won’t have any food in the house. And there is no way I am driving down that canyon in a snowstorm, driving on eggshells because you didn’t call the order in on time, so do that first then I want you to sit on the couch like I will be doing as I do my scheduling.

I nodded and picked up the phone and dialed the number and placed my first big order in, I cringed thinking how big it was and how big the bill was going to be. I hung up the phone and found Eli past out on the bed, while Jackie gave him exactly what he needed which was a massage. She pointed to the bathroom where Rhoda was just running us a bath telling her to tell her to go fetch me before I got myself into trouble again and start the potatoes and stir the ribs.

When she noticed me leaning up against the wall naked, she said. “Oh good, you’re here. Your Dad said to make sure I give you something that will relax you after a hard day at work and to keep you from doing everyone else around here.” She came to my side and started to undress me pulling me towards the bathroom.

Jackie said. “Don’t you dare wake Eli, or I’ll kill you.” watching her cover him up and kiss him on his cheek. 

She said. “Not a problem I have something else in mind.” She nodded and left the room telling Sparky to come, he looked at me and she pulled a milk bone out of her pocket and he turned too follow her and left me.
Rhoda said. “Now tell me all about your day, Eli said you had it easy, but then again he never worked a regular job before.” I smiled. As she pulled me into the tub and bathed me tenderly waiting for me to tell her everything, as I moaned every time she worked out a sore muscle.

I soon nodded off as the warm bath worked me and Rhoda treated me like broken glass. I woke with a start when the water was draining, I panic thinking Gloria was going to tie me to the bottom of the tub and drown me. Rhoda heard me scream as I fought against my phantoms she quickly held me whispering in my ear to open my eyes and I did found her holding me in her arms.

Dad said. “Ok,” rushing in said. “That’s it; couch, dinner, and bed, in that order. We can do the scheduling tomorrow.”

Rhoda said. “It’s my fault, he was sleeping so sound I didn’t want to wake him, but I didn’t want him to drown either.”

Dad said. “No need to apologize, you just learn from mistakes; that when he is overtired, he slips into a nightmare more quickly. He has worked himself into the ground today, wanting to prove that he is a man. It’s our fault for keeping him up last night, knowing he hasn’t slept much during the week. And knowing today would hard day for him, harder then it has had in a while.” 

They kept talking as if I wasn’t here. I pretended it didn’t bother me and said. “Give me a minute Dad let me grab a few things and I’ll meet out in the living room.” 

Dad said. “I told you no son.”

I said. “Yes I heard you, but if I don’t have it planned out, now, who knows when I will get chance. Plus Mom got to do my hair again so Nate Carrion can come out to play because tomorrow is just another big day and you know it. Were going be spending most of the day in church, undercover and getting married in the satanic church. So the members will accept me, and Eli and our wives, then we have to go to LDS church so we can make an appearance there as well. Then come home and work on my bookkeeping so I know what is what before I can assign to my employees. Then help out in the kitchen, and then make sure I have everything for school on Monday and make sure my work clothes are all ready to go.”

Dad said. “Thanks for telling me I am a total jerk as a father, for putting all this on your shoulders. Yet you forget that the most important thing is you don’t have to do any of it by yourself. Rhoda’s your wife and partner, she carries half your burden like your Mom carries half of mine; which means you work together in everything. There is no reason she can’t do your hair instead Mom. There is no reason she can’t help you with organizing your bookkeeping and there is no reason she can’t make sure your work clothes are ready as well as make sure you all set for school on Monday. There no reason that she can’t go over your bills because they are her bills too.

“Now put on robe it’s at least -6 outside and go into the living room and relax by the fire. Moms got some that special medicine that she uses on those skin blisters. Rhoda can tend your wounds far better the Mom can.” He turned on his heel and said. “Eli if you think about lifting a single finger the rest of the day likes your idiot husband I will turn that cut butt over my knee; then your husbands can, because he fool minded idiot for not asking for help.”

Eli said. “Yes sir, couch, dinner, and bed in that order.” Rhoda prodded me and Eli down to living with a notebook and clipboard in hand. Eli asked me. “So why does your Dad look like he got hit by a truck?”

I said. “Because I was the truck that hit him.”

Eli said. “Please tell me you didn’t do something stupid?”

Rhoda said “Eli, of course, he did something stupid, and he’s a stubborn fool like you. He was told to make sure to do the order and that weekend deliver got put away and call in the order for the week. Instead, he went down in the wine cellar and decided to do it himself, and the power went out and took a few minutes for the generator to kick in.”

Eli took his hands slapped me across the face. “You dumb stupid idiot. Must I watch you every single minute, you risked your life going down their alone, you could have hurt yourself real bad if you decided to be the room down around you trying to get out of there like a wild animal. I know how dark it was in the church basement I saw it my self. If I was your Dad I turn over his knee for even thinking of being down their alone as tired we are after a very bad week without a lot of sleep. Now get on the couch and don’t even think about moving. Hells bells you could have gotten you and Dad killed down there.”

Which was true, that could have happened. I could have easily mistaken a number 10 can for a rock and threw at him, or pushed or pull down the shelving on him or me. I wasn’t planning to make that mistake ever again. Once I was on the couch having Eli make sure I wasn’t going anywhere. Rhoda Jackie brought down 2 of the 20 boxes of my bookkeeping work and my ledgers.

There was no way I could write up a schedule without knowing how to divide up the work from start to finish, yet there was no way Dad was going to allow me to do it. So Rhoda and Jackie decided they would oversee it. Mom too would help the girls since it was similar to her old job of doing billing for the doctor’s office, which gave the girls the idea being in charge of it. Mostly because Rhoda was married to me and Jackie was married to Rhoda like Eli was married to me. Just thinking about it gave me a headache.

I told the girls to dump everything inside the boxes onto the coffee table creating one big massive pile. So they could use the boxes as a filing system. Rhoda wrote down each step, sort, by kind of bill, date of the bill and so on until they had all the categories that I had listed in the ledgers. Then the next step was adding them to the ledger, not only in the books but also on the new computers, using some software Stringum had them install. That would make running reports easier, once everything on all the receipts had been put on the computer. Then adding up everything and putting it in the ledger and making sure it matches with the totals on the computer.

We determined it would need a five-team crew, to actually do the work. Rhoda and Jackie would share the manager positions, which would require them to make up a schedule, hire, train, and the payroll. I’ll I would need to do was sign the checks and go over it at my convince, as Stringum does with each of his as CEO of my bookkeeping to make sure the bills got paid that still needed to be paid, and meet with Stringum with a monthly or weekly report…. Since the move to Heber, I had lost some of my employees. It was up to Rhoda to rehire them, now that all the new stores were opening up soon which meant I could lose some more. But then again that’s how the world works.

Stringum said we would be getting more boxes now that the stores would be open. that away my little bookkeeping job… to them and was responsible for the ones that Dad and Mr. Vincent opened, like the hardware store and the clothing store as well as the Herbs and body treatment store that Mom and Dr. Sars and our wives would be running.  They have plans to open three more over the next few months, and the same with the hardware and the clothing store. The more stores opened meant more bookkeeping for me.

Which meant more revenue for us, to give me us a steady income to live on for the four of us and our employees. Rhoda and Jackie decided to be the only ones entering the data into the computer as the final check before giving it to me and Stringum. Since it was going to take a few days before we could learn the computer system.

The girls put out the word among my friends that we are seeking help for our business that they would be interviewing after school on Monday. Dad thought it was an excellent plan and said that was all the work that I was allowed to do today, telling the girls to help in the kitchen. Mom said there wasn’t much they can do considering it was basically done. 

She called the boys and told them to help set the table. She looked over at me and Eli told us not to even think about it, when we had plenty of help already, and it wasn’t going to kill us to sit there and do nothing. Mrs. Sims looked great for her date with Bishop Sakes as he knocked on the door to be polite when none of us knock on the door anymore; instead, we just come right in as if it was our own home. Fran and her two brothers Hank and West were right behind him wanting their Dad to make a great first impression. I had no doubt that they coxed him into this as Mrs. Sims little family did likewise.

He eyed her up and down as she eyed him. In his tux which said they were going out to dinner. She tried not to make it obvious that she liked him a lot or the fact that she wasn’t coming home tonight, but there was nothing for it as she handed him her overnight bag and the dress she would be wearing to church tomorrow as well as a satanic robe. Since they had all decided to attend both churches tomorrow, for curiosity, and the High Bishop stated that it would be just mostly wedding services and meet and greet, but the meet and greet would be held later that night.

By that time all my friends would be on their way home, back to Santaquin, so they could get home before the next heavy snow storm and before school starts on Monday for those that had school, and for those that had a parent-teacher conference for those that still needed it.

We had been told that the boys and their parents had been dealt with, but nobody was saying how other than the fact they won’t be a problem. It wasn’t my worry, because I had my own worries like being Nate Carrion in his souped-up ride, Jenny and Tony would be arriving sometime tomorrow morning take over their duties as undercover agents one as a teacher and the other as a student, now that Jody and Dave were back from their honeymoon and already called Mom and Dad telling them how it went and where they went for their honeymoon, which was a cruse on some fancy ship that went to the Caribbean Islands.

I didn’t have to make any introductions because they all knew each other from Friday night. So Eli and I took their things since their Dad wanted the trailer all to himself tonight. I couldn’t blame him as it would be their last week in the trailer since their cabin was just waiting for the final inspection before he and his family can move in. I was told to put them all in Mrs. Sims room considering the girls had decided to move in with me and my friends, and there was no more room in my room unless they wanted to sleep on the floor.

Mom and Dad made it clear Eli and I would be going straight bed after dinner, in fact, they were putting us in their room for tonight so we can have the room all to ourselves and told the girls no sex after 10 pm so we could be sure to get a good night sleep.  Rhoda and Jackie had agreed to those terms.

Dinner was nothing special other then it was just the people in our cabin, and no one else. Eli and I started too nodded off once we had a full stomach and things started to wind down. Dad orders us to bed after the third nod, stating Rhoda could fix my hair in the morning that church wouldn’t start until around 10 am, we wouldn’t be wearing our regular black robes we would be dressed in our white ones we had obtained in Texas for our first wedding.

Everyone else too would be wearing them that were getting married inside the satanic church. Like Mom and Dad, Stringum, Tony and Jenny, Bishop Earl, and us four. Everyone else was married last week like Adams parents, Jake's parents, and the Benson's. We have been told it was going to be one of the biggest wedding ceremonies that satanic church as seen here in Heber. They would marry Bishop Sakes, but he currently doesn’t have a wife. Jake's parents the Olsen’s where married the following week, with Tomas Adams parents.

In any case, it would get us all in the door, so the other members would accept us, without it we were just a bunch of rich people that were considered non-members; which meant they wouldn’t mingle with us, or invite us to social gatherings. We couldn’t let that happen if we are planning to find out who all the major players were, and even with the High Bishop help, he only had speculation and nothing more, other then these meet and greet social gatherings would give us contracts with certain individuals, and give them a chance to invite them into their homes for dinner and pillow talk. Where they will spill their guts and give us the proof we need to take them down. 

For Eli and us as well as my friend we needed to make as many friends inside the church so we could find out who their parents are and see how deeply entrenched they are. It was the pillow talk I hard time with because it meant I had to sexually rape my friends.

Eli had no problem with it, or our wives because they had been raised inside the church and it was considered normal to do so. In fact, if they didn’t… it would show suspicion that we were spies. Jeff had already told me that it was better to do it then have has all end up dead, reminding me pain can be treated death can’t. We had all been conditioned that we won’t feel the pain anymore, but it required that we maintain ourselves and keep ourselves condition so we wouldn’t feel the pain.

For once our bodies healed from it would be like being reconditioned all over again. I had no intention of feeling that kind of pain ever again of what Gloria did to me. Or what Shawn and his friends do to young boys when conditioning them, as he had stated that is music to his ears to hear them scream in pain for the first time. Eli and I made a pact as well as my friends that we would always use the new way of conditioning that requires very little if any pain at all, and we had gotten the 9s approval that our new way of doing it was now the only way.

Stating their devil god is love, and obedience, not torturer and pain, and no longer sacrifices people. Have confirmed to the new ways of the Satanic Church, but it would take time, to conform everyone to the new laws. They had agreed that ones still abusing the satanic rights and rituals will be held accountable; but were not on an agreement to enforce those laws because it would put them in danger, of their own members that have abused those rights in the past and currently.

Yet this was only one cell here where we have started to make some progress. There were many others across the country that still haven’t conformed or willing to conform to the new laws that believed in Satanism’s. Those were the people we were after and their Holy Queens and their members of the Holy 9s. Lest not forget their Holy Prophets like Crawford who is over them all. We had a lot aground to cover, what we did worked, as it built a blueprint as calibrated effort with other rebels that are helping to take down the network as Stringum has told us that we as a group have made the most difference so far.
