The song was co-written by Jennifer Rush, the original recording artist. It was a huge hit in the UK and Canada, but her version never took off in the United States. As the author writes, Laura Branigan also covered this song.
Another great episode in ongoing adventures of the IC and his quest to keep America and the Constitution safe.
WW here's hoping you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also that you and your family are safe.
Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment, and entertaining reading you have given us over the years!
Here's hoping that 2021 will be a much better year than 2020, and things will start getting back to normal.
5*****s as usual

You made this old paratrooper and Jumpmaster happy with the beginning. Must be dust in the air.
Great segue into the future!
When I saw the song title I was not thinking of the Laura Branigan song, which was later covered by Celine Dion.
Instead I was thinking of the Huey Lewis & the News song which was featured in the first "Back to the Future" film. If you get a chance it would good to see a story with these lyrics worked into . Here is a link to the official music video for the song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBl2QGAIx1s
And below are that song's lyrics...
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right
Power of love will keep you home at night
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But do be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden, it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do (to do)
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it
Mmm-hmmm
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power
Just feel the power of love
That's the power
That's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Cindy Ross part of these stories are now not important anymore. I do not understand why the author keep her in the stories. Better write her out and let the IC rule alone? I miss her contributions and involvement in the stories. The IC need people with other opinions around him.
Clue to the other westboro riches are hidden in the tomb of the sister of Teresa? That's what they wanted to know, where it (accident) happened and what the family name was. Westboro has a habit of hiding items under the names of others who are dead, but have IC connections.
The first chapter of the next story, 'Centuries', has been submitted and hopefully will be published soon. I don't know Literotica's Christmas schedule, so please be patient.
john_sixfooter - i figured you and other US Paratroopers and Jumpmasters would like that little segment. :-D
Delko484848 - and exactly how much are you paying in order to have that ENTITLED attitude to dictate to me what characters to have in my stories? That's what I thought...
Great entry in the series!! Was struck by Springer’s comment to IC, as he prepared (he thought!) to interogate him: “You probably don’t know anything but I believe in being thorough.” Seems almost word-for-word what Gary Busey’s character said to Mel Gibson’s in just about the same circumstances during the first Lethal Weapon movie. Intentional or just a “coincidence?”...
Didn’t work out so well for that guy, either, huh?! 😎
Hope you and yours have a MerryChristmasandHappyNewYear!!

Good enough story. Surprised how easily Don overpowered the 2 perps in the plane. Loved the idea of them parachuting back into the wedding, well almost, and the plane landing in the impound yard. Interesting insights again into the future of the young crowbars. Is Cindy going to have an affair with Tim or not?
Is Teresa and her sister's story going to continue and more gold discovered?
