Dear Readers,

I have met a guy named Rayi, who I love but he is different in many ways. First, he is the grandson of a billionaire and his grandfather is one of the top 007-secret agents of all time. His father works for the smartest man on the planet. What does this guy see in me? I work as a waitress and clear up after their parties. The guys with the last name of Edson are called the bad Eds. His father and brothers were called the naughty boys. His friends or cousins are called the wise guys. These wise guys have everything they want in life which is cars, money, good looks, and they love to party. I hate parties, I get sick at them. I hate noise but these wise guys don’t drink liquor, do drugs or smoke. They love to sing old Elvis Presley songs and sound good.

Rayi is quiet but they are part of his life. Can I make this work with him? I know Rayi is really trying with me so I will go to church and pray to God for help. They come into where I work all the time and eat fish sandwiches. Rayi’s grandpa, the secret agent 007 James, loves fish burgers. Eddie the great-great grandpa who Rayi works for loves cake. They are all like perfect English gentleman but Jimmy, the other great grandpa, is the genius but he comes with Kenny who they call the teacher. Kenny is funny. He makes me laugh. Kevin is the lawyer but he doesn’t come with them much. I am afraid if more than two come at one time with Rayi. I need to work on that. Rayi is so nice and has a sister named Raine, she is trying hard to be my friend.

What could I possibly give Rayi to love? Kenny answered that one day for me and said, Rayi is very shy and needs true love. That is all he needs from you, just love him as he does you. What a beautiful thing to say but Kenny is very charming. Eddie gets right to the point and says he wants a girl who is studying to be a doctor, goes to church to pray to God, and works hard. Jimmy tells me Eddie wants to marry off all his great grandsons to doctors so he can get more Eds, and you are studying to be a dietician so he wants to know what is in the food we are eating. James the grandpa says very little but that he hopes I marry his grandson for they would love to have me in their family. But what do his parents think? I found out today that Rayi had siblings who died at birth. How sad. Maybe that is why his family is so nice to me. I have no family.

Readers, I pray true love is worth it and that my love for Rayi is enough to last a lifetime. But only time will tell if I will have a broken heart from the very good looking, handsome wise guy named Rayi with the nicest smile I have ever seen. Rayi is coming to see me and still I don’t know why but I love him for coming for me. Please pray for us and true love in our world.

May the grace and love of God be with you always,

Joy West, the waitress.

These young wise guys join the mission of their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents in service to the world we live in.

Chapter One

THE PROJECT!

J immy had called Calvin, Kelly, and Edward into his office after Kelly was good with the new babies, starting Majestic Twelve and teaching at the spy school. Edward with his wife Suzanne were working with his grandparents Eddie and Barbie on taking over the head of the intelligence agency. All was settling down as the other Eds were back at their job as secret agent spy guys. Calvin, Kevin’s son, runs things for Jimmy with Cindy doing work with their people who have skills at that place they called Our People’s place. Now, skills are people who can read minds and disappear then reappear someplace else. No one has said if Jimmy is an alien or not but he is the leader with Cindy, his daughter. Kevin is Jimmy’s true friend and guard. Tim is Jimmy and Kevin’s friend. Eddie and Kenny are Jimmy’s old friends from his secret spy days. Kelly is Kenny’s granddaughter and Calvin’s wife. Calvin is looking at his twin babies all the time thinking this is the good life with the woman I love, Kelly, thank God. Calvin, Kelly, and Edward entered Jimmy’s office.

Jimmy says, I have a new project for you and it is different. Maybe crazy, but I want to try it. It isn’t a joke even if it is April Fools Days today but things have settled down in our world.

Calvin asks, The three of us to do a party or something for you?

Jimmy replies as Kenny, Eddie, Kevin, and Tim walked in, Tim and I had worked on this before but we ran out of money. We have money now and not much going on again in our world as we continue to stay out of sight from everyone.

Edward asks, Something to do with your research hospital?

Kelly replies, This is different, isn’t it? A whole new look at things.

Jimmy replies, Time travel. Not a machine but a program to see the future. Tim and I were working on it and I did try it but only for two seconds. I need seven people on a team.

Tim says, We got the old equipment and now we need people to work on repairing it.

Kenny asks, Who do you need Jimmy?

Eddie says, I like this idea. We need to know if a virus could stop the world again or what.

Kevin asks, Where and when do we start?

Jimmy answers, I need a place here built by Gary, your son, Kenny and John. A place no one can enter without being on the seven-person team. For the team I want myself, Micky, Calvin, Kelly, Edward, James, and Cindy. Are there any questions?

Kevin asks, Shouldn’t Tim be on that team?

Tim replies, No I will be working with T-Jay and Sam on security with ordering the supplies we will need. I did this before with ordering supplies with Larry’s company the first time, we did this time travel. I know want we need to make it work.

Eddie asks, What should we do?

Kenny says, This has to do with Sylvia, your true love, right?

Jimmy replies, Yes, I worry about her health and what I should be doing to kept her healthy.

Tim says, So we look into the future to see what happens. But by doing this we could change what happens in the future. We have to be very careful. We can help the people we love if we know what to do for them.

Kenny asks, We look? Who gets to look into the time thing?

Jimmy answers now, The seven who work on it and you guys. That is why I called you. About eleven of us and the twelve persons will maybe a doctor of some kind if needed. Most of it will be boring but I wanted you to know what I am doing.

Eddie says, I don’t think it will be boring at all but you could tell us Jimmy about it.

Jimmy answers, So is that a yes on the vote from Kenny and Eddie? To build the place to do the work and have those people work on it. Only Friday of each week. We will work in teams of two. No one works on this alone.

Kevin asks, What time period are we looking at?

Jimmy answers, Twenty years in the future from when we start viewing. In my evaluation from time action, I think that is the most important time we need to see.

Eddie asks, What do we need to know and what did Jimmy say?

Kenny says, Is it to see if we are all still alive?

Jimmy answers, Yes, that is a big one but also how the kids are doing. I want to know if my Sylvia was in the hospital by my mother or if she was saved by me going back those two seconds in time. I also want to know if she was here and why we couldn’t find Sylvia before.

Calvin says, Jimmy I don’t know where to start on this.

Tim replies, You start by helping me with the old equipment and cleaning it up as a project to do on Fridays. We meet as a team and I will help with Micky. You study what Jimmy, Venus, and I did before, then start rebuilding that equipment.

Edward asks, How did your team work then?

Tim says, Jimmy was the brains, Venus had the money, and I got the supplies through my old boss, Larry’s business.

Kelly says, It is kind of funny we are using Venus’ money to complete this project with Jimmy in charge, and Tim doing the supplies. I am glad Venus is dead for trying to kill my Calvin with all that money she had. Venus was evil as too much money makes some people.

Kevin replies, It looks like we are all in agreement, so let’s do it.

Jimmy says, Thanks, it is Tim and my dream. Calvin and Edward talk to James about it.

They all leave Jimmy’s office as Calvin wonders does Cindy already know because Jimmy didn’t tell them to talk with her. Edward goes straight to the church to pray. Kelly goes back to work as if it was no big deal. Kenny and Eddie are walking away not even talking about it but Kevin is worried. Is this a security issue for them and does someone have to travel? No more talk about it until Friday when they meet for the first time.

James asks, Calvin and Edward, why am I here? Sarah needs me with her, and the boys are a handful. I got your note we need to talk but what about? It is so secretive.

Edward says, You are a hard guy to get a hold of alone. It is a project from Jimmy and Tim. They want you on this team but didn’t say Sarah.

Calvin says, It is a time travel thing that Jimmy and Tim worked on years ago. Jimmy wants to see the future and find out if his Sylvia was at that hospital, hiding or maybe he changed it when Jimmy went back for two seconds. He did try with time travel to save her so Jimmy needs to know what happened.

Kelly comes in and says, We are to replace the equipment and see if it works. No big deal but a secret from most people.

James asks, Why me on this team? Wouldn’t Virgil, Victor or maybe Leo be better?

Cindy walks in and says, I don’t know. My dad chooses who he wants and he doesn’t always explain himself clearly. You are my sister’s husband. But I am here too. I do understand why.

James says, Then if you understand, explain it to us.

Cindy replies, The brightest and smartest. That is us with a few people left out because of health or other issues. Sarah maybe too busy, Sylvia is too sick and it goes on, so we are it.

Micky walks in and says, We all know why we are here so this is the paper work on it. Read it, study it, and report back in a week. We need to clean up the equipment and review ideas on paper. I have Calvin with Edward, Kelly with Cindy, James, you get me. Jimmy is over it.

Micky walks back out as they sat there looking at each other, but James’s paper work reads, Don’t call me, I am your silent partner, Micky.

Calvin looks at James and says, Micky is a little different and computer guys are weird. You are better off working alone on this.

Edward says, We can help you. We don’t need him on this project.

Kelly says, We can all work together, okay, James.

James smiles and agrees but goes home to Sarah looking over his new paper work. Gary and John have the building almost done. Micky has told T-Jay and Sam about the new project which they know Tim will be needing supplies for. T-Jay will be ordering products that aren’t easy to get. Sam will be doing tight security on everything coming in. But Micky hasn’t shared with them the seven people working on this special project of Jimmy nor what it is. They aren’t asking questions because then Micky or Jimmy would explain it to them, which they wouldn’t understand anyway. The paper work continues but they are ready within a few months to clean up the old equipment. Jimmy has Tim and Micky move the equipment to the new area. They meet on that Friday in the new location of this project to see where everyone is on it. Jimmy comes in this time without Micky, with Kevin. Jimmy is looking at the equipment and seeing it all again for the first time after so many years.

Kevin says, Boss don’t get so close to it. Sam hasn’t checked all the security on it, what is it?

Jimmy replies, You’re right. Anything could be damaged and not work right. We need it checked out carefully.

James answers, My job is to recheck it for security. We don’t want anything going wrong.

Calvin replies, We are to check the programming and be sure it is shut down.

Cindy says, Dad, Kelly and I want to know why our jobs are to clean it up. Women’s work?

Jimmy says, I didn’t do the assignments, Micky did. I will let him know your reaction.

The ladies start their work as Jimmy is all over the place looking at it. James is still into his paper work and relocating all the parts. Calvin and Edward are going over math figures and rechecking the gages. Then Micky and Tim come to help put it all together, to see what they have to work with. The computer system is old and out of date, the first thing they notice. The power need is different and Calvin is working it. Edward is writing it all down.

What does Jimmy want them to do after it is set up with security? Kelly and Cindy are cleaning it up but that is slow work. Each part needs special attention so maybe it isn’t a cleanup job, but they need to talk through their minds to complete this work. It is a thinking job.

Kelly says to Cindy, We have to talk through our minds to do this. We have to know what to do and read this equipment. Only people with skills of reading minds can do that.

Cindy replies, I think it was that we both have skills and not that we are women for this job.

Hearing this, Calvin replies, I think we need to be careful. We all love Edward but he can’t know about our skills. We do what Jimmy tells us to and no more.

The work continues on this equipment as Kevin is all nerves and Jimmy is walking around looking at the old equipment. Micky is right by Jimmy’s side. Tim comes over to Kevin.

Tim says, Don’t worry so much about Jimmy. We got this. Micky knows a lot and James is good.

They work all into the night and in the morning go home but Micky gives them all more paper work. Is it homework or what? Kevin is pleased when Jimmy is out of there and home safe.

In morning, Eddie and Kenny come to Jimmy’s office and wave at the door. The door opens.

Eddie says, I love this new door system of yours. I wave and you let me in. I can do that.

Kenny asks, You guys worked all night? Are you okay, Jimmy? We aren’t that young.

Jimmy answers, I missed my Sylvia but I got so involved, I forgot the time. She was sleeping.

Kevin replies, I don’t think Jimmy should do that again. It isn’t safe for him. Sylvia needs you at home with her in bed at night.

Kenny says, Boy, this must be important to Jimmy. Forgetting to sleep with his Sylvia.

Eddie adds his two cents and says, This is a first and will never happen again, forgetting Sylvia?

Jimmy says, Okay guys, I can breathe without my Sylvia. I want to know why I couldn’t find her all those years and we all looked. Then what about our world, what do we need to know about the future? Our kids big and small are out there, is it safe?

They all leave Jimmy’s office and the next day Sarah is in Jimmy’s office waiting for him. As he walks in and sit down, Jimmy smiles. Does Jimmy already know what this is all about? Do you know readers? My guess is her good-looking handsome husband working with Micky. Sarah says, I want to know why James has to do this project? Why can’t someone else do it and why does he have to work with Micky, the weird computer guy as his partner?

Jimmy answers, Because he is qualified and the right person for the job. Micky is doing what he can but James doesn’t really need him to do this work.

Sarah replies, I can do it or maybe Tammy has nothing to do. Michael, your son could do it.

Jimmy answers with a smile, Michael may have to come in later but for now I don’t need a doctor. Tammy wants to have a baby and is working on her health. As for you the work you do with the water and your three little boys is enough.

Sarah argues, James works and has the same three sons as I do. I should be the one working on your project not him.

Jimmy says, No, Sarah, I need you on the water with Michael and we may need more of a fountain of youth for us. Water is the key here to staying healthy and young. I need you to work more on it and what my mother was doing with it and Gerald. Recheck her work.

Sarah asks, We never found a fountain of youth there. Just a water fountain in the rocks.

Jimmy replies, The white flowers have something to do with what my mother was working on. She didn’t look very old and I question how old was she? I had four brothers and two sisters who died but why? I don’t know and I think they died before they were born.

Sarah asks, Why did my brothers die before they were born, both older than me?

Jimmy answers, I don’t know for sure but we have problems, the people with skills losing babies before they are born. Kelly and Cindy took that pill you took to help get pregnant, but it does cause multiple births. Tammy may take that pill.

Sarah asks, Did Margo take it with Michael and Tammy? Do you know?

Jimmy replies, I know for sure Margo didn’t but she was a twin so that is why she had twins.

Sarah thanks Jimmy and he takes her home to James waiting with the boys. James is always holding one of his boys when he is home. The kids maybe sleeping but he carries them around in his arms to be close to each boy. James is gone two weeks out of the month and needs this.

Sarah says, I am sorry I had to talk to my dad on your new project and you are the best person for it. Do you hate the work? Dad has me on a project with water. He says he needs.

James replies with his great smile, No, I do love the work. It is interesting and I am glad I don’t have to work with Micky. I like working alone and if I need help with this project, I will ask you. But if anyone finds out they will call me, wifey baby.

Sarah laughs and says, Sorry James, but they already call you wifey baby or pretty boy. They call me, Jimmy’s spoiled daughter, Cindy the mean one, Calvin the tattle tale, Edward is grandpa’s boy, Kelly, pretty spoiled, Betsy the cook, and Michael the doctor. Kevin is the pet.

James, thought, Sam is security, T-Jay is the white suit guy, Micky is weird computer man, and they are the guys.

The work continues each Friday. Leo is now covering for James with taking out a trainee from the spy school on the job. Victor and Virgil are now working together with James being home to help their wives, if needed. Does Leo know about the project? I think they all know about a project but what it is and who is doing it, isn’t something anyone talks about. What is Jimmy’s new project? No one is asking because then Jimmy would tell them. They wouldn’t understand Jimmy anyway so they skip that part and do whatever Jimmy wants. No one is saying no to Jimmy on anything.

It is Friday and this time they are all there as a team at the new location for this project. Jimmy walks in with Eddie, Kenny, Kevin, and Tim.

Jimmy says, It is question time, so please let us talk about it.

Edward asks first, How are you sending someone in time?

Jimmy replies, Not a person but a drone to send information back to us.

Calvin asks, Are we doing back in time to do what or ahead to see what?

Jimmy replies, We are going ahead in time. Twenty years to see what is happening to us and our world.

Cindy asks, Can we go back in time?

Jimmy replies, Tim and I tried for years. I did for two seconds so we aren’t going back.

Kelly asks, Was there a problem when you went back?

Jimmy replies, Yes, a burn up of my clothes. I had to return asap.

James says, So going back is against the time but forward is a speed up in time.

Jimmy replies, That is a good way to put it. Yes, I think that is correct, James.

Micky says, I think we can speed up time for a drone and it can send back picture on real time in the future. A computer thing.

Kevin asks, No danger for anyone. That is good. You watch it from here.

Jimmy answers, That is the plan but will it work. Sounds easy, but it isn’t.

Eddie says, Where should we send the drone?

Jimmy replies, Same location as this. Hopefully in the future we will know and have our operations here to see it all.

Kenny asks, But the drone can move around the homes, right or this area?

Jimmy answers, Yes, but we need to respect their private lives too. We need information and that is it. How are we doing and do we need to write a note for our future selves? Who would like to watch this with me? We are ready to build the new product.

They all left thinking did they want to watch it all. James and Micky thought no. Calvin, Kelly, Edward, and Cindy thought yes. Tim wasn’t going to do the watching. Kevin wanted to with Jimmy. Eddie and Kenny weren’t sure, this could be long. Jimmy could tell them.

Jimmy got input from the seven and then the others. Jimmy would have only Kevin watch with him. Edward, Kelly, Calvin and Cindy could come in but they were needed to do their other jobs. Cindy wasn’t pleased but she did as Jimmy wanted her to. Jimmy noted to the group that to know the future alone could change the future and this was a big deal. He wasn’t sure what they would see and what the problems would be in the future.

Jimmy sat in his office as Michael came to the door and he let Michael in. This was something Michael didn’t do, coming to his office, so what did he need? Jimmy couldn’t think of what it was or was it the project?

Michael says, We need teachers for the little kids. My son could use a pre-school. He needs to be around other kids and not just after church two times a month.

Jimmy replies, Ed and Ricky do school by computer with Samantha’s help. I guess we could find someone for the small kids. We have like nine little ones with more babies now. I’ll find a teacher for us to live in this area.

Michael leaves thanking his dad as Sally and Virginia arrive, so Jimmy lets the ladies in to talk.

Sally says, Jimmy, we know you are busy but our husbands need help in their jobs. It is too much for one guy these days. Sam has his kids helping him.

Jimmy answers, I will find them help in the group. Thanks for letting me know.

The ladies leave as Eddie and Kenny come in with Jimmy opening the door. Then Kevin comes with Tim. Jimmy sitting there waiting for more people to come to make his morning full.

Jimmy says, Sit down please. We need help in three areas, a teacher, a computer helper and import with export person. Any ideas? Calvin, Edward, and Kelly, please come here.

Calvin replies, We heard you, boss and we are on it. Find a teacher, another computer guy, export and import people. Yes, sir. We got this for you.

Kenny says, Boy, that was hard work for you, Jimmy. What can we say?

Eddie asks, Are we voting on anything today or can I go back to sleep?

Kevin says, I think we should vote on it when they find people to be in this group.

Ricky comes to the door and Jimmy lets him in as Ricky is talking already, saying, Lara call and her parents were in an airplane accident. Can I go to her now?

Jimmy replies, Yes, Tim go with him. Take Linda and Victor or Virgil with you. Who is home now? Go right away. Bring Lara back with you for she is Tim and Linda’s granddaughter.

Tim goes with Ricky to find if Victor is home then to find Linda. It is Victor and they leave to go to Lara’s home. Now, Lara is Ricky’s girlfriend from Calvin with Kelly’s wedding over a year ago. They are dating with one of the Eds always with them, to help keep them safe in the outer world but in their controlled area of homes they can date alone.

Jimmy says as they leave, We need a town here where we live. I want Gary and John to build stores with my people to run these stores for us. Good training for them. Then the doctor ladies need offices to see people. That we need to vote on today.

Eddie asks, What are we voting on Jimmy? You lost me at, we need.

Kenny says, The group is bigger so you are telling us we need, a school and doctor offices.

Jimmy replies, Yes, but a town to buy things like food for families. Betsy can be in charge of that with her husband and C-Jay for food from the farm.

Kevin says, You are voting on to build office at one end, stores at another end, with a school. Our church is at one end of our homes and then there is the hospital.

Jimmy asks, What do you think about a school at the end of my place with stores, the church at the end of Kevin’s, the hospital at the end of Kenny’s and offices at the end of Eddie’s?

Kenny says, I vote the offices by the spy area between my place and Eddie’s. The church is between Eddie’s and Kevin’s. The hospital is between my and Jimmy’s place. The school with stories by Jimmy and Kevin’s places.

Eddie replies, Too much to think about, I agree with whatever Kenny said. But do we have the money to build all this?

Jimmy answers, Yes, we have a lot of gold from Venus’ death. So, we all agree.

Kevin says, I will get all the paper work done and Gary with John on it.

Ricky comes with Lara but her parents are dead and Michael is rechecking on it. Leo is working on the security part. Could they have been killed or was it another airplane accident? The funeral is sad but Tim and Linda will be taking care of Lara. She will be living with them. Ricky can now see his girlfriend without supervision. Kevin isn’t happy about that.

Calvin comes into Jimmy’s office, saying, We found a teacher related to Micky’s wife. She is Virginia’s sister and her husband does imports. Her brother does exports but is out of work.

Jimmy says, No computer person.

Kelly comes in to say, We checked everyone and Mickey is the best person to help there. Maybe Sam’s daughter’s husband, Fred Meier, could help with computers too.

Edward comes in now to asks, Would Mickey be okay working with his dad? Fred Meier isn’t as good as Mickey for the job but could help out.

Jimmy says, Talk to Mickey and the others then make it happen. They will need homes here for Virginia’s brother, Freed and sister’s Smith families. I think we have a few extra. Sam’s kids the Meier and Elgin Families should get homes here too. Okay we should have unused homes.

Edward says, We could always kick out Victor and Virgil’s parents. James and Leo’s parents are never here either. That is two homes.

Jimmy answers, That is a plan but talk to your grandpa Eddie before kicking his sons out.

They leave Jimmy’s office and go to offer jobs to Virginia’s brother and sister, with Virginia being overjoyed to have her family closer. Now, who is going to tell Micky that they are coming here? But then who is going to tell T-Jay or Micky they are getting helpers? Sam does it for security. Micky, T-Jay, and Sam come to Jimmy’s office mad. Jimmy thinks but lets them in.

Micky says, What are you doing to me? My wife’s family here?

T-Jay says, I work alone and you know that.

Sam says, I had to tell him for security reasons.

Kevin looks at Jimmy should he get help, but Jimmy replies, Your wives wanted this, not me. You tell your wives no if you don’t want this. I am not. If that works, I’ll send them away.

Micky says, I can work with my son, Mickey and Sam’s daughter’s husband, Fred.

T-Jay says, I will work with Virginia’s brother and brother-in-law. I know them.

Jimmy replies, Virginia’s sister is a school teacher for small children and pre-school.

Everyone is okay with it and the homes are done. The school is the first thing they have up and running with Michael’s son, Junior Tim in class. Ed is there to help the teacher who he has a big crush on but he is a little boy so she is nice to him. All the kids are attending this pre-school. Jimmy is thinking that these friendships these kids will develop from learning together will last a lifetime. Sam’s kids have children and so does Virginia’s brother and sister. They are in different classes and parts of the school. Then there was Lisa’s family, Lois and Lena Marsal who visited now and then with their parents, Marci’s daughter’s kids. Did they want to keep the children apart or was it the number of kids at one time? The new people didn’t even come to their church on the first and third Thursday but then no one told them they could.

Jimmy, with his other group of people, called the seven, continue their work on this time travel. Within months they have it up and ready to test. Was this the right thing to do? What would you do, readers, if you could see the future? Go for it? They meet to write
