"The Poet" A Story of Biblical per portions cont.

As this young Navy Airmen continues to doze, some were over the mid Atlantic ocean chaos starts to unfold. For earlier that day the crew of the highly classified aircraft known to some as the Albert E.  had won the brass ring they have been striving for, for so long now.
This brass ring as it is referred to by the "Others", all covert members of an elite group with Military and Scientific  backgrounds.
Have been chasing it on this never ending merry-go-round since the Roswell incident. That happened in New Mexico when Nikola Tesla's machine was being experimented with, a way of providing free wireless electricity to the world. Little did they know that this release  of power would reveal another dimension right here on our very planet or so they thought. The Top Secrete test was moth balled when an alien aircraft was believed to had been discovered hovering over Area B now know as Area 51 and brought down by Tesla's machine. This incident lead to the worlds knowledge of UFOs and the Military wanting need to cover up and divert this knowledge from the world.
 
Donnie starts to sing quietly along with the music " Hold on Virgina, Catholic girls start much to late. Wow Gary says these chicks are so limber, I'd  bet they could kiss their own asses... I'd kiss every one of them asses he mumbles to Donnie

 They are anywhere from nineteen ta twenty-four I'd bet, That means they are older women, some times there is as many of seven of them up here.

Donnie starts to sing loudly Older women make beautiful lovers. Gary whispers shut up! They'll hear you. Dude I thought you didn't care. Man who do you think they are going to tell?

Donnie shutters, dude your uncles! Man they creep me the hell out. Dude most of your family creeps me he hell out.

Yeah, but I like yours four sisters and all of them just half-sisters at that, I'd be doing them all.

Donnie acting disgusted and shaking his head in disbelief Dude! Do you do your sister? Gary laughing I would but she runs to damn fast.

You are one sick mother. Gary laughing so hard he has tears in his eyes I'm kidding man I'm kidding.  

Are you dude I worry about you some times, dude if you would deal for your uncles we be up there right now all up in the shit. Like right now Gary agrees. They asked me again but they both have records man and dad says they are being watch all the time now.

Dude your only sixteen think of all that tail up there, so you get busted your home free. Home free really? Gary has a doubtful look upon his face not with my luck buddy. Yeah dude! The first time anyway think of all these horny Catholic college girls all summer long they need ya dude. Shut up man the cops would put me under the jail.

Come on lets go their going back in anyway.They pull up anchor an take off the netting as the do they are spotted by the last girl on the deck hey she says there's guys down there. Donnie and Gary paddle off never looking back and the other girls don't seem to believe her.

Man did you see the rack on that redheaded girl? They must be cheerleaders or gymnasts. Nah, just stoner's playing at being Hippies dude. Man do we need to score some weed for tonight? Dude I don't mess with that shit your uncles deal, do you see what it has done to them, their both deadheads. Yeah your right deadheads who get laid by cheerleaders!

Dude I thought they were from Kentucky anyway, they aren't laying these chicks where is your sister. They are! Hey! That shit ain't funny man keep it up ad I'm going to tell them what you are saying. You do and I'm dead and you will never get to hit on any of my sisters tails. Ah well you safe until I do... Where is Darrell? At work someone has got to pay taxes or the whole damn system would fall apart.

Those Hebron rent a cops are catching on to that site. The old red barn then? No we just put up hay this week and the girls wont be able to breathe up there. What about farmer Parson's place isn't he in Florida for two weeks?

Yep, and he has asked me to watch over the place and feed the animals while he is gone. Ah so you got a plan? I got a plan... I got a hay wagon and some bails of hay down by the fish pond. Can we have a campfire ? A small one dude not like that forest fire you started down at the lake last weekend.

I'll call the girls and the rest of the gang from the house and tell them to bring their swimming suits. You do and I'll kick your ass! 
Its going to be a bright, hot, and clear night in the high seventies, after a few beers and a coup of tokes one of those chicks are gonna want to go skinny dipping, keep your mouth shut and you might get lucky.

The date is September 10th 1982  a tired navy airman has just return from SEAL training to start his Military Career as a trained Driver / Bodyguard for one of the Navy's most valued Scientist with a reputation of breaking every rule known to man and nature and a long history of fraternization with enlisted women, Commodore James T Smith 

Donnie Douglas took this position  at the request of  Lieutenant Nickerson. Who had a way of persuading Airman Douglas to his bidding. 

It is 06:45hrs and Petty Officer Moore has been pulling double and triple Duty shifts for the last three weeks while Douglas was away. As he sees Donnie step out the back of the C-130 turbo-prop he is very relieved. For he knows Donnie will cover for him now that he is back on the "Rock"  Moore rushes Airman Douglas and asks if he will cover the Air Ops Terminal for  a couple of hours while he goes to the hospital off base to see his wife of just three years who is having some troubled labor with their third child.

Donnie response as expected, sure go ahead take all the time ya need It ain't like I've been on a bloody crop-duster for seventeen hours. With that said Moore was out the door for he knew Donnie was just kidding. As time goes by Donnie makes the rounds  around the Air Terminal he stops in all the offices and departments and digs up the latest dirt on everyone. He doesn't ever ask anyone anything directly but for some unknown reason everyone tells him everything and anything he needs to know and a bunch of crap that he doesn't. It has always been this way for Donnie. People like to talk to him maybe because he seems to be listening.

The time has sped on by it is already 12:00hrs and Moore hasn't made it back from town yet. Donnie has been gone for about ten weeks and doesn't know the new Airman Recruits. Everyone is calling the one in ACP Robin. Donnie goes up to her like he has known her, his whole life and starts up a conversation. Fifteen minutes latter he has a dinner date for tonight, it is now 14:00 hrs and still no sign of Petty Officer Moore so Donnie walks into  the Chief's office looking  for someone to cover the Air Terminal so he can stow his gear and get cleaned up and ready to meet this new hot-tie for dinner. 

When he walks in unannounced, as he did often just to start shit swinging. He catches Ensign Michelson rubbing faces with another new Airman Recruit Kathy Langil she doesn't seem to be startled at all so someone has already schooled her well in the Game. The Ensigns looks as guilty as a John caught with a Two Dollar Whore, with his pants down around his ankles by his own mother.  

Michelson clears his throat ah! Douglas, your back. When did you get in? On the 06:45hrs C-130 Turbo-prop. Hey I need a favor Ensign, Donnie smiling confidently. Sure ya do! Airman Recruit  Langil this is Airman Douglas he'll be leaving us too in a week or so.  He'll be working for the Commodore. Once we get this Manpower problem under control. Please excuse us Langil.  Yes, Sir she smiles widely at Donnie as she leaves.

So what do you want now Douglas? I need ya to actually watch the Terminal while I stow my gear and get cleaned  up I got a date tonight, a legal one. Not like what you got going on here. You are asking or telling me? Whatever it takes I've been training for ten weeks  and I'm lonely. Who ? The little redhead. Ah tough nut to crack or so I hear. Where is Moore? I seen him when I came in this morning no. No, I relieved him before you got in, so he should be on his way back from Reykjavik anytime now. How is his wife doing is she still in labor? I don't really know yet. No worries Ensign nothing due in all day. You'll be out of here on time or I'll cover for Moore all night if I have to, But, we might have a good storm front blowing in around 01:00hrs tomorrow, morning. Maybe a "Charlie Condition" I hear so be careful were you get caught. I thought you where still on leave? I am until the fourteenth. Then what are you doing here? I go where I am needed you know that.    

It's true Donnie seems to be wear ever and when ever the shit hits the fan, or a sound mind is needed. A curse or a blessing he has not decided. Why before he left for training a British 747 had lost power and he and one other got the whole aircraft safely disembarked with no incident and the week before that. A bomb scare on the Secretary of States aircraft had to do an emergency landing he and one other did that too. But for all his good deeds and accomplishments he seemed to get or be punished. When he made Third Class Petty Officer  he lost the stripe before even got to sew it on by helping a buddy avoid loosing his. Just a good ole boy with a big ole heart. But, still he never lets any one in to close.

Its 17:00hrs and a banging comes on Donnie's door its his roommate Terry L. Day Airmen, AKA Trouble with a capital "T".  Dude why didn't you use you're key or crawl in through the damn window. I gave my key to Connie.  Who? A new Airman Recruit I am seeing Dude I thought you weren't coming back till the fourteenth? Yeah, the Commodore wanted me back earlier so here I am. At least I don't start till the fourteenth of next month, I guess Command is having troubles with manpower issues I'll be working at the terminal till then.

Man you don't know the half of it  they shipped out five guys and Wilson is on Emergency Leave his parents were in a wreak or something and T.C. is been in and out of the Base Hospital and then Chief has got us pulling seventy-two's hour shifts sleep when you can at the Air Command Post, Dude take a fucking breath please my head. Why does Chief have you pulling wartime shifts?

Terry smiles well we got five new girls in all on the same night and... Donnie stops him the Slip and Slide yep we had a slip and slide party. Did anyone get hurt ? No not really But, some one grabbed a fire bottle and I turn a fire-hose on him. We all have been pulling seventy two's since then. Since when? The night after you left  it was your idea so we did it. So what happened, The SP's break it up? No we didn't get caught but, Hebberd brought a date from off base who happened to be the Base Commander's Eighteen year old Daughter.
    Did she tell? No but,  when she went missing at her birthday party out in town The Commander pulled  a unannounced inspection and she was caught in our room during the Inspection in your bed with Hebberd. What happen to Hebberd? No one really knows. But I haven't seen him except at shift change. My Bed? Did you say my bed? Tell me you washed my sheets Man or I'm kicking our ass. Do they know it was him yet? Not yet, he jumped out the window and got away bare ass naked in the snow Man. Donnie I didn't know that fucker could move so fast. But, they know it was not you for sure! You were already gone but, I think they might come and talk to you anyway.
    Man I was at Captain's Mass for hours and poor Connie is so shy now. She was anyways but, now it is worse.  I feel so bad for her. Man it was my fault I should have made Hebberd take that girl back to his barracks. How did they not see his face? Dude the Batman mask is evidence now. Man do you now how hard it was to get that mask for you, it was signed by the original Batman. Man ya don' t see he big picture she was wearing  the Richard Nixon mask both of them were stark ass naked and Connie and I were under neath in a blanket when they came in.  Donnie lets out a big ole laugh that Hebberd is a lucky and a twisted fucker.      

So when do I met this Connie? Man she has been in the room haven't you seen her yet? Just then Connie pokes her head out from behind the blanket that was hanging up on the lower rack in the small room. Damn she is a shy one Donnie replies. I never heard a sound out of her. Connie she ducks back in the shelter of the drawn blanket's cover. Terry and Donnie laugh so hard tears come out their eyes. Connie starts spouting off words of discontent at Terry. Donnie is dress in his Dress Blues for dinner as he starts out the door. Terry lets him know Petty Officer Moore has just made it back and his wife hasn't delivered yet. No kidding. Terry also tells Donnie that the Chief has had him pulling triple and double shifts since Petty officer Wilson left on Emergency Leave and T.C. has not been allow to relieve him because he is on mandatory sick leave.  

Well for fuck sake: says Donnie, I guess I'll be seeing ya tonight go tell him I'll cancel my date in be up there in twenty.Tell him he can it the rack. Ain't nothing coming in tonight yet, is there? I am beat to ya know.  You don't have t cancel your date I'll get Connie to talk to Robin they went threw Basic together they are Friends. When she finds out how sweet you are she eat you up. I'll have "Chef" cook ya guys up something decent he likes ya, he'll do it for ya I'll bring her by at 20:00 hrs you can still have your dinner date. Yeah, but what about the desert? Dude ya ain't getting nothing on the first date with her she is a tough nut to crack or so I hear.

 As the Night-shift at the Air Terminal comes in and the Day-shift drags up an goes home for the night, that is all the officers and Chief Petty Officers, Donnie has a very nice dinner with Robin and when they are through Terry prepares to take her back to the Barracks, Donnie reminds Terry to go to the "Locker" and get "Chef" whatever spirits and wine he wants. Tell him that was the best damn meal I have ever had. You got it Donnie. Oh Terry thanks a lot for everything buddy go head and hide out with Connie I call ya if we need ya. What about Chief no worries I hear he is going met with his special some one tonight.  So I'm running the show as usual  easy breezy lemon squeezy. See ya in the morning, Donnie has sent everyone home against Senior Chiefs orders but, Chief Richard is still acting Air Ops Officer and he doesn't really care  he is rotating out the week after next and figures Senior Chief can find out for himself who is really running the show here on 'The Rock"   Donnie musters the night crew which have been punished for the last ten weeks for Airmen Hebberds screw up . So who is tired here they all hold up their hands except Hebberd for he knows he isn't getting any rack time tonight. Donnie says good night hit the racks I'll wake you if I need ya they all let out a mild hooray  and a couple of thank Gods 

Come on Hebberd, its you and me and Parker  in ACP. So Hebberd I heard you lost Terry's mask how are you going to get it back  David starts to laugh out loud man I didn't realize how cold it does gets here in Iceland. You'd should see Greenland: Donnie replies

Was she worth it David? As best as I can remember. Well you better see your gal at the Commissary tonight and get me new sheets asshole. I already got them I just haven't had the time to get them on yet, Terry and Connie are quite an item now. So you screwed him over along with the hole department. Nah, I think he really likes her, ta hell with everyone else. 

Well take a load off and I'll see whats, what. Donnie walks out of the Ready- Room, a room that sits in between Air Command Post an the Chiefs office this is were the Ramp Coordinators work out of, which Donnie is currently Number One  There is a total of five  with Chief or Senior Chief as backups but neither of them has put on a vest yet, not since Donnie has arrived.

Hey Ms.Parker how are you doing? Hey, you are back I heard you were. Yeah news travels fast on "The Rock" So how was your training? Murderously hot and tough and dirty and wet and sticky and so on and so. Yeah but,  look at you, you are looking so tight. Oh Joan stop, your embarrassing me. No really how much weight did you lose. fifty-five pounds. No! Yeah, Donnie flexes like a body builder, so you like. You look very nice Don so what can I do for you? Well dear heart, you can tell me we have a clear night so I can get some shut eye. Your wish is my command. Thank you Joan, Hey one more favor please! When I call into ya, tell me we have a full schedule I need to mess with David a little. I don't know? Well you kick it around a bit I'll go with whatever you decide, he does deserve it Joan. Yes he does But?  
   

Now Airman David Hebberd and Joan were both for New York City, New York  and oddly enough have some kind of special re-pore with each other even though  she is much more older, in her mid thirty's and he is only  just nineteen. Joan is very religious and teaches Bible Study ever Saturday and very quite and she keeps to herself mostly. Now David he Fancy's himself a lady's man, he is not overly bright and is well fit  and he does have a way with the Lady's  all of them but, it must be more motherly then anything else with these two.
Donnie walks  back into the Ready-Room, Hebberd has already dozed off so Donnie leaves him be. Out side a gently snow
begins to fall.

Davids eyes pop wide open he sees Donnie he is almost out of it. Hey Douglas what are you day dreaming about ? Donnie answers Hun, oh I was just wondering what the gang back home was doing. So what were you thinking about? I was thinking about that new meat. New meat? Donnie ask which one? Airmen Recruit Robin. David he is tiring to stir Donnie up. Donnie softly replies I can't see you with her. Who then? Donnie smiles slightly for he knows who David really likes and he knows she likes him too. I was thinking of the spud from Idaho. Cynthia? David replies yeah I am thinking about letting her ride me long and hard. David is half a sleep and looks like death warmed over. David she doesn't even know who you are. She will. Donnie is giggling at David an shaking his head. Stop it dude, you are making me ill. David is shaking his head yes and smiling like the cartoon caricature "Chester The Molester"   from the Men's Magazine " Hustler" as he s holding it up and showing Donnie.

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.
