The Estate - Day 06.2

Armando added, "But we all think this is an opportunity that should be at least considered."

Heather asked sternly, "What kind of opportunity?"

Alameda said, "If we announce this test flight to the press we can market it as an attempt to break the record for fastest flight across the United States. We can quickly setup a press junket in Portland and since one of the flight attendants is transferring to our Marketing and Sales department she can be our spokesperson there."

Alejandro added, "The other crew member is also our new flight test supervisor and she has demonstrated that she can get the impossible done with little to no warning or notice. She is absolutely amazing under pressure. It would also be a marketing coup if they can get from here to there in less than an hour."

Armando continued, "Which is entirely possible. I know... I've flown it many times and I know what the Spoon can do."

Paul looked at his wife, then at Heather and Hunter. He saw the concern on their faces and took their feeling into consideration as he thought about the proposal.

Paul turned back and looked at his new management team. Rosalynn's confident and determined expression made the decision for him. It also reminded him of a promise he had made.

Paul said with authority, "Do whatever you think is reasonable to market the hell out of this flight. I expect we're all going to be calling in a lot of favors over the next hour or so. We have no control over Logan or his condition, but there are several thousand employees that would benefit if we could sell just ten of those planes. I see no reason why we shouldn't take advantage of this and make some lemonade."

Paul paused and looked at Rosalynn then said, "Just make sure Richard and our passengers are not mentioned, interviewed or photographed. But other than that... go work some magic and get those orders rolling in."

Rosalynn smiled at Paul knowing he had promised to keep their identities secret and he was true to his word.

Karen looked at Paul and nodded her agreement.

Heather asked, "What do you need from us? We have an office and two land lines over there. We also have a fax and full internet access. You can used my laptop and I know where Rebecca keeps hers."

Lola stepped forward saying, "Luca and I want to help too."

Amarissa was on the phone asking, "Find the highest member of Management in Portland and get me their number. Also have Maya in marketing call Alejandro on his cell phone ASAP. Pass the word... today's test flight is priority number one... Nothing will take precedence's without management approval... Right... yesterday... all of this needs to be done before I ask for it."

Armando was on his phone saying to the other end, "Hello... Yes... Code Word Falcon One Four Six Nine... I'll hold..."

Alejandro's phone rang and he walked out onto the patio as he said, "Hello Maya..."

Rosalynn looked at the stunned faces of Paul and his family as she said, "We don't waste time. When we do something we do it quickly because there is always something else that need to be done."

Rosalynn pointed at Amarissa saying, "She is talking to her assistant and will be taking care of the operational side of things. She'll make sure someone will be ready to take care of them and the plane when they land in Portland."

She then pointed at Alejandro and said, "Maya is our acting manager of Sales and Marketing. He's going to ask her to setup as much of the press-conference as she can from here and get any marketing material to Portland as quickly as possible."

Rosalynn whispered, "Armando is calling in some favors with our letter agency friends to make sure their flight is not interrupted and to make sure the Spoon is not identified as a ballistic cruise missile crossing the states... It's that fast."

Rosalynn turned to look at Lola and Luca as Alameda stepped up to Paul and asked, "I would like to speak to you and Heather alone if I may?"

Hunter was watching the TV as he said out loud to no-one, "It looks like they are pulling Logan and his navigator up the embankment on litters. There's an ambulance waiting for them. Still no word on their condition."

Paul nodded to Alameda's request and Heather joined them as they walked toward the corner office.

At the same time Rosalynn looked at Lola and Luca asking, "Can you two find us something to write on. Pads of paper, pens, that kind of stuff. An easel would be very useful. Also, could you setup Heather's and Rebecca's computers on the dining room table... we'll make that our command center for this mission."

**************************************

Paul lead and Alameda followed Paul and Heather into the corner office.

Alameda did not waste time as she bluntly said, "Paul, Heather... we have two immediate issues. One, we're low on cash. This effort to get Lea and Rebecca to Portland is going to tap out our reserves. If I can find some sort of charity thing to connect with this flight we can write off most of it as a tax deduction. Maybe. We also have a staffing problem. We don't have as many people as we need and we're having a problem keeping those we do have. We're quickly losing both skilled and unskilled workers as we wait for Spoon orders to start coming in."

Karen walked into the office and said, "We're supposed to call Bob about his Tamrunnix purchase."

Paul nodded as he said, "Alameda, would you get Rosalyn and Armando please. I have an idea and you three should be here to hear it."

Paul sat down and called the Estate using the speaker phone. The operator redirected his call which as answered by Xiuying. Paul was his normal playful self with her before she placed him on hold.

Just a few moments later Bob voice was on the phone.

They exchange pleasantries before Karen explained to Bob that all of his transactions had been validated and her staff had already documented the in-absentia board meeting minutes giving him full control of the company and making Nathan the president of Tamrunnix. Bob just need to sign some documents to make everything official.

Armando walked in at that time and said, "Tamrunnix, didn't they try and buy us out. Isn't that where Gunter went too?"

Alameda slapped him on the arm and shushed him. As Rosalyn stepped in, Paul explained to Bob about his recent acquisition and suggested, "Bob, I would like to merge Tamrunnix and PeregrinusMax. We have a serious need for credit and I think we're going to need a large workforce ASAP."

Bob laughed and said, "That's the exact opposite problem I have with Tamrunnix. Hang on a minute..."

Moments later Bob's asked "Nathan, are you there?"

Nathan replied, "Yes Bob, what can I do for you?"

"I want to merge Tamrunnix with PeregrinusMax. We'll keep the PeregrinusMax name in the process or Tamrunnix will become a division of PeregrinusMax. The details can be worked out later." Bob said directly.

Nathan was silent after he slowly said, "Ok..."

Paul spoke up saying, "Nathan, this is Paul. My family recently acquired PeregrinusMax and we are in desperate need of cash and labor. I understand from Bob, you have both."

Karen spoke up and said, "Bob, as your lawyer I have to recommend you not take this offer. You are putting up all of Tamrunnix's capital on an untested product. If it fails, you will lose your investment."

Everyone in the office threw imaginary daggers at Karen and she defended herself saying, "Bob... I have a conflict of interest in this deal as I am a part owner of PeregrinusMax, but the advice I just gave you is the same I would give any client in a similar position."

Bob replied, "Thank you Karen. I respect your honesty. However, the purchase of Tamrunnix was not intended to be an investment. It was a means to an end. With that said, Paul... I'm taking the biggest risk here... what's my reward?"

Paul looked questioningly at Armando, then Alameda, then Rosalynn.

Rosalynn stepped up to the phone and said, "Bob, my name is Rosalynn and I'm Paul's COO for PeregrinusMax. We can offer you five Spoons after airframe ten. You'll get every other odd numbered Spoon after number ten."

Bob replied, "Make it six and I want number two, then we can move to number ten."

Alameda replied, "Spoon four as we have contracts pending for the first three and we'll move you up to number seven after that. But based on our markups, we can only do five as part of this merger."

Bob replied, "Six. I'll take number four and accept the every other option starting with number nine. We can hold off on the sixth unit until after you sell thirty. Number thirty one will be mine if you get contracts for thirty five or more."

Paul and Heather looked at the PeregrinusMax team, they looked at each other then they all looked back at Paul and nodded.

Paul replied "Deal."

There was a moment of silence, then Bob said, "One more thing... I'm giving you the capital and the line of credit. I'm also providing the labor force you need. I want Nathan to manage the transition on the Tamrunnix side and I want someone to guarantee that he and his team will have senior management positions when this is all done. I also want to be a silent partner in this venture. I expect you all to run this endeavor and show me a return on my investment by the end of year three."

Rosalynn spoke up and said, "Nathan, how does the title Vice President of Research and Development hit you? It's a position we really need filled as soon as possible. We just lost our best candidate for the job to Paul. We also have some other key executive positions open... but we can discuss those later..."

"Wow," Nathan replied, "Sound great!"

Karen said, "Nathan... I assume Nadine is listening in on this?"

Nathan was silent for a moment before he said, "Yes, Nikolai is here too, but he knows to remain silent."

Karen said, "I want both of them in my office first thing Monday morning. We need to work out how to integrate your in-house legal staff into our law-firm. I also want a really good secretary out of this deal."

Nadine replied, "Nicki is here pulling on my arm begging me to recommend her. Karen, she's followed your career since you started in the DA's office. Quite frankly, so have I."

Karen smiled as she said, "I'll make sure she's the first one I interview. Bring her with you next week."

Rosalynn interjected saying, "Nathan, I'll call you on Monday and we'll work out the details."

Mary spoke up and said, "No. You are all invited to the Estate tomorrow. Our treat. You all can meet in person and work out all of the details here. Be here at eight and we'll meet in the restaurant for breakfast."

Mary added, "Nathan, where we live is a nudist resort. Clothing is optional and everyone you bring has to be over eighteen."

There was a long pause before Nadine replied, "Thank you Mary... We've been closet nudists for a long time. Guess it's time we came out in front of friends."

Karen replied, "That's the best way to start."

Paul replied, "Mary, what a great idea and the perfect place to get to know everyone... Bob... looks like we have an agreement. I get your cash and labor and you get six Spoons and we're all coming to The Estate on your dime tomorrow morning. Deal?"

Bob replied, "Deal... I just have one question..."

Paul asked, "What's that Bob?"

Bob asked, "What's a Spoon?"

**************************************

Paul seemed somewhat exasperated after hanging up with Bob. He wasn't sure if Bob was pulling his leg or not. What he was sure was that Alameda was pulling on his cock. The others had left the office as Paul wrapped up his call. Everyone except Alameda and Amarissa. Both of them remained behind and teased him with their bodies.

As soon as Paul sat down the phone, Alameda was on her knees stroking his cock and rubbing it on her face. Amarissa pressed her face to his and forced her tongue into his mouth. She pulled back and said, "Paul... Mom and I are going to show you our thanks now. We want to thank you for saving our company and all of those jobs."

Amarissa pulled one of Paul's hands to her groin and the other to her breasts. Alameda looked up from past his cock and said, "Paul... anytime you want... my Daughter and I are yours. Any way you want us."

She then took Paul's larger than most cock and forced it down her own throat. She took him so far inside her, her nose was pressed against his abdomen and her tongue was flicking his balls.

**************************************

Charlotte stepped into the cockpit and leaned past Charles' head, then kissed him on the cheek. "That's' for luck." She said,

Charles smiled reached back and caressed the side of her face as he looked out the window and spoke to no-one saying, "Tower, this is November-X-Ray Six Niner One Experimental requesting taxi instructions and authorization for an unlimited vertical assent. Priority Peregrine-One"

"Stand by November-X-Ray Six Niner One." Replied a disembodied voice.

A long moment later the voice returned saying, "November-X-Ray Six Niner One proceed to runway two-seven and hold. You are number three for takeoff. You are cleared for an unlimited vertical ascent before the end of end of the boundary marker. All traffic above you has been cleared. Upon clearing forty thousand feet contact Jacksonville ARTCC on one twenty six point three five. "

Charles repeated the instructions as he reached over to the throttle arms. Richard continued to program their flight into the computer.

Charles looked back to Charlotte and said, "Make sure everyone is strapped in. You included. This is... going to be a rather thrilling takeoff."

Charlotte checked to make Lea and Rebecca's were strapped in then made her way to the back of the plane. She checked and tightened Charlene's straps before she too cocooned herself in the five point harness at the back of the plane.

Both Charlotte and Charlene were in the stewardess jump seats facing toward at the very back of the cabin. Charlotte had a clear line of sight to Rebeca and Lea as well as the blue sky through the cockpit windows.

Charlotte put on her best "No Worries" smile when Rebecca looked back at them as her hands tightly gipped the armrests next to her.

Charles had left the cockpit mics open and Charlotte could hear the two men talking over the PA.

Richard said, "The flight plan is all loaded. I've updated our transponder with the X-Ray and Concord codes the FAA is requiring us to use during continental test flights. I've also send a copy of our flight plan to Jacksonville, Atlanta, and the other ARTCCs on our route. By my calculations we've only got enough fuel to make it to somewhere over Kanas. Maybe Denver if we have favorable winds. As soon as we get in the air I'll start looking for a gas station."

Charles reply was to the Tower, "Roger Tower. Thank you."

Charles voice came over the speakers, "Ok here we go..."

Charles had a pretty good singing voice as he crooned, "Off into the Wild Blue Yonder,

Climbing high into the sun..."

**************************************

In the living room Armando and Alejandro spoke quietly to each other as Karen and Heather watched the TV for the latest news on Logan. Alejandro got Hunter's attention and waved him into their conference.

Hunter looked around and spied Rosalynn, smiled back at Armando and Alejandro nodding. The three men split up.

Armando and Alejandro walked over to Heather and Karen and Armando said, "My wife and Daughter are in the office thanking Paul for saving our company. We want to thank you two as well."

With little warning, Armando and Alejandro picked up Karen and Heather and sat them down next to each other on the couch. They pressed them to the seat, then spread open their legs as their forced their faces to the two women's pussies.

Karen and Heather smiled as they relaxed their legs and pulled Armando and Alejandro heads to their groins.

Heather smiled as she said, "Well... it took them long enough."

Karen quipped, "Gentlemen, we will be happy to accept your thanks any time you want to offer it."

**************************************

Charlotte felt the bumpy taxi way transitions to the much smoother runway. She heard the engines ramp up to power and when the brakes were released she thought she had left her stomach behind as the jet raced down the runway.

Charles vocalizations continued, "Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, at 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under..."

She looked over at Charlene and she was struggling against the stronger than normal G-Forces. Further forward in the cabin Rebecca knuckles were white as she gripped her chair's armrest. Lea on the other hand looked like a child riding a swing for the first time. She was grinning from ear to ear as the Spoon dashed down the runway.

Rebecca eyes grew bigger and she turned a little paler when the ground fell away and the Spoon took to the air. Lea's grin grew bigger at the same time.

Charles continued his tune as the wheels terminated their contact with the ground, "Off with one heckuva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!..."

Charlotte felt more than heard Spoon's landing gear thump into their flight positions.

Charlotte's voice joined her Father's, "Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, sent it high into the blue, Hands of men blasted the world asunder, how they lived God only knew!"

Charlotte gripped the handrail she holding on to even tighter. She continued to sing even though she knew what was about to happen. The two ladies up front had no clue what to expect and neither did Charlene.

In order to avoid an almost thirty minutes delay of air traffic control routing them out over the ocean, her Father had once again taken the Spoon into an unlimited vertical climb and slowly rolled the aircraft so that when it topped out and gently leveled off it was pointed in the right direction. It was a maneuver few fighter jets were capable of, but the Spoon handled it with ease.

Charles and Charlotte continued their audible assault on their passengers' ears. "Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer , Gave us wings ever to soar, With scouts before and bombers galore, Hey!... Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!"

Lea was laughing as the Spoon tore into the sky but poor Rebecca was turning a slight shade of green.

The thrilling part of the ride did not take very long and moments later Charlotte could feel gravity returning to its normal orientation. The last chorus and two dings over the PA told Charlotte she and Charlene could move about the cabin.

Charlotte looked over to Charlene who said, "Damn... that was fun."

Charlotte smiled as she said, "Way better than taking off out of Santa Ana... Let's check on our passengers."

**************************************

Hunter approached Rosalynn and she said, "I suppose you want me to thank you too."

Hunter picked Rosalynn up with ease and as he pressed her into the lounge chair he said, "No... I want to thank you for the gift you and Richard gave us last night."

He then pressed his face between her legs and Rosalynn surprised herself when she moaned out from his expert cunnilingus.

Amarissa bent herself over the edge of Paul's desk and said, "Take me Paul. Please let my pussy thank your cock."

Alameda stood up and pulled Paul's cock to her Daughter's pussy. She rubbed the head of his cock up and down her slit before pushing on his lower back driving him inside her.

She felt good. Very good. Paul gave up and gave in to his situation when he reached for her hip and pushed his cock into her even deeper. Amarissa grunted then cooed, "Oh Paul... you're so big... almost as big as Hunter... OOhhhh... That's good..."

Alameda caressed Paul's chest and pushed herself up on her toes to kiss him as he fucked her Daughter.
