We Must Go On!

Dear Readers,

My name is Pierce and I am the son of Kev who is the son of Calvin who is the son of Kevin. Kevin is Jimmy, the Boss’ faithful guard at his side, employee, lawyer, and friend. I am his great grandson and here is my story and it is real!

I have skills and I was born into an interesting family with a father with skills and a mother without. My mother has a family of secret agent spies called the Eds. My mother’s dad is Leo, the leader of the Eds and the Eds are called the Advisors of the secret agent spies. The Elders are Kenny the teacher, Eddie called grumpy, and Jimmy is the boss, clearly in control even if he doesn’t want to admit it. Skills are the abilities to disappear then reappear someplace else and to read people’s minds. There is gold, stardust, and silver skills are the strongest. My dad is a lawyer to Wim the silver skilled but he isn’t the only one with skills.

The guys are Sam, T-Jay, and Micky. The guys with the Eds don’t like working and playing together. The group has never been able to find peace on Earth but have kept the world in one piece as their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents have done. The naughty boys are Roy, Ron, Rob and JT, who will be called the Watchers. I was born into the group called the wise guys but I am born later. This is my problem; I am good friends with Wim and Bev’s children, all seven of them, but they are spoiled. It is over power and money or should I say, gold. Wim, their father, has two gifts, one is farming and the other is making money. He has taken this gold from some lady named Venus who tried to kill Calvin and made it into unbelievable wealth. Too much wealth is what is causing these children to fight.

In some families the oldest child gets the family’s wealth. In Jimmy’s family it has been given to the seventh child. If the seventh child dies then the third child but if that child is gone, I guess readers, you see the problem. Jimmy’s biggest worry is these kids fighting. I am the faithful guard to Luna who is the seventh child of Wim, the seventh child of Cindy, the seventh child of Jimmy. I am in love with her but are we too closely related to ever marry?! Is this a doomed relationship that must never start for she is the one to carry on the silver skills for the family line to continue, or is that Rayi’s job, who also has silver skills? In this generation, it is to be a girl and it was to be one of Wim’s daughters, not one of Sarah’s grandsons. Jimmy doesn’t really know everything about these skills because his mother didn’t tell him things that made sense. I made a fatal mistake after I married which cost me dearly in my life. We must make good choices in life, for God can only guide us if we are listening in prayer. We know so little but with God’s love and understanding we can live. God is our only help in life for we were born this way and God doesn’t make mistakes or junk.

Pierce Carlson, faithful guard for Luna with God’s help if I listen.

CHAPTER ONE

RAYI MUST LEAD!

It is five am in the morning when Roy comes to Eddie’s home where his son Rayi works. He protects Eddie with his girlfriend Joy, caring for Barbie, Eddie’s wife. Everything is quiet in the early morning as Roy enters the home with Rayi looking up at his dad.

Rayi says, Dad, we are resting together and nothing more. We aren’t sleeping together.

Roy replies, Son, I don’t care what you and your girlfriend are doing here. I know you are only seventeen but she is your true love. We have an issue. JT, Tony, and I are leaving for the outside spy world to help stop a war that could blow our world to pieces, today. Son, you must lead with Matt and Johnny to help Wim.

Rayi asks, Dad, why me? I am sure there are many others better for the job, like Andy?

Roy answers, Because you have silver skills. I am needed to help in this battle for our world to keep it from being blown apart. We will be gone for months to a year. Jimmy has given me my orders with JT and Tony. You wise guys will get one more year of training.

Rayi asks, Who will be training us if Tony is going with you?

Roy replies, Ricky is back and he is taking over all your training for the next year. Then you guys are out there. I am not sure, son, if you or Matt go out but I know Johnny and Andy are the first to go to fight.

Joy wakes up and looks around as Roy leaves. Johnny and Matt come in to talk with Rayi. He kisses Joy and whispers softly, Go back to sleep, my love. I have some work to do. I will tell you about it later when I know more. Rayi, Matt, and Johnny go out of the room to talk as Jimmy, Eddie, Kenny and Kevin come in to let them know the details of what is happening. Wim and Kev come next then Calvin and Edward show up. After that Joy sees people coming and going all day long but she stays away to do her work with Barbie who says nothing about it. Does Barbie not know what is happening or is she not telling?

It is a long day until Rayi comes back to be alone with Joy and he falls into bed with her. He holds her close to him and whispers, We have a problem and my dad with others must fight.

The next day nothing is the same and Rayi is up before Joy awakes but there is a single red rose on the pillow beside her where his head had rested the night before. Joy looks out the door and sees the walls with a top is up on their homes with Kevin in the driver’s seat. Joy can see that from Eddie’s house. People are all very busy doing something as Michie comes over to Joy.

Michie is crying, saying, I know Johnny and Andy have to go out in the world next to fight. But who or what are they fighting and why? They have only had one year of training.

Joy replies, I know nothing. I am no one but hired help. I care for Barbie.

Michie cries, Yes, you are someone for you are Rayi’s woman and he is the new leader. Wim wouldn’t lead. He has problems with his kids. Believe it or not they are already fighting for money and power. Wim has made that gold increase in value to unbelievable heights.

Sandy comes running to Joy and Michie, saying, Ronny can’t go to battle, I think I am pregnant. What am I going to do? I haven’t told him.

Michie answers, We will tell Raine and she will know what to do. She can tell Rayi.

Joy asks, Why must Rayi lead? He is younger than the other wise guys. Maybe Johnny should stay to lead the group and not go out to fight in the world.

Michie agrees and says, Yes, you tell Rayi that right away, Joy. Johnny should lead. He knows everyone and is a good leader. Michie and Sandy go to talk with Raine as Joy sits there waiting for Rayi to come back to Eddie’s home. But it is all day she waits until late at night, Rayi returns looking tired but happy to see her and he kisses her.

Rayi asks, How was your day, my love? Barbie still being nice to you?

Joy answers, Barbie is nice. She didn’t need much of anything at all for me to do for her but Michie and Sandy were here today to talk with me. Michie thinks Johnny should be the leader because he is older than you are and Sandy thinks she is pregnant from Ronny. They went to tell Raine about Sandy being pregnant. Ronny doesn’t know.

Rayi sits back in surprise and replies, I better tell Ronny right away. He doesn’t have to go out to fight because we need him at the research hospital for the Elders: Jimmy, Eddie, and Kenny. We can’t let anything happen to them at all. I will have Sandy see Michael, the doctor.

Joy asks, Do you have to lead?

Rayi answers, Yes, I do. I am sorry. Do you still love me? Johnny and Matt will help me but they have other jobs to do. Johnny can talk with Michie about it and his twin brother Joey will maybe get to stay back without fighting. I wouldn’t have to go out and fight either unless it gets too bad. Please stay with me here always at my side for I love you.

Joy kisses Rayi, replying, I am here for you only and always will be your true love. They fall into bed and are asleep but in the morning, Rayi is gone early when Joy wakes up to start her day. People are treating her different today, as if she was someone special. They are smiling too much at her and trying to do things for her all day long. They are treating Joy like she is a queen of something but why? She is an employee and nothing more. Even Barbie is overly nice and has gotten Joy some of the most beautiful dresses Joy has ever seen. Where is she to wear these dresses to?

Joy asks, Barbie, I love the dresses but where would I ever wear these dresses to?

Barbie replies right away, To dinner with the Elders with Rayi.

Joy waits for Rayi to come back and asks him about it. Why would they have any reason to have dinner with the Elders? Maybe Rayi would but surely not her? Joy would be serving them their dinner and cleaning up after their meal, not eating with them. Then Rayi comes through the door and kisses Joy and she is so happy he is back in her arms she almost forgets what she wanted to ask him. As he sees the pretty dresses, Rayi asks, Do the dresses fit you okay? Barbie is good with clothes.

Joy replies, I don’t think I will be wearing any of these pretty dresses for I serve the meals and clean up after people eat.

Rayi smiles, saying, But we have new jobs now. You are to help Barbie and cook with Bev then we are to eat with the elders, that is you and I. So, you can wear the pretty dresses. I will get you jewelry to go with these dresses. We will put your jewelry in a locked safe in a room in a part of Eddie’s house which will be for us to live in.

Joy smiles but she is now afraid that she will displease Rayi and he wouldn’t want her anymore. She goes to get ready for bed in her old t-shirt as Raine comes to the door to talk with Rayi. They are talking low so Joy doesn’t hear any words they are saying, then Rayi comes back to Joy. He puts on a t-shirt and sweat pants then looks at Joy. He is unsure of what to do next as he comes out of the bathroom.

Joy asks, Do you want me to leave?

Rayi has tears in his eyes, saying, No, I want you to stay with me here always. Do you want me to go away from you? I need you. I love you. Please don’t leave me. What can I do for you to love me and stay?

Joy answers, Something is different with the group and I am unsure where I belong.

Rayi replies, Joy, I want you to belong with me always at my side forever. Will you marry me? Rayi gets down on one knee with a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Joy replies without thinking, Yes, I love you only. They kiss and Rayi holds Joy so close to him.

Ronny, Robert, Matt, and Johnny look in as Johnny says, Oh, did we come at a bad time? Or are congratulations in order here? What a nice engagement ring. I better get off my ass and get to it or Michie will have my head.

Ronny says, You better get off your ass, what about me? I think Sandy is late.

Matt says, Guys, give me time to become a priest before you all need to marry. I want to be the one to marry you wise guys to your girlfriends.

Rayi says, I couldn’t wait to ask her and I was afraid I would lose Joy if I waited any longer. But I should have done it nicer. Joy kisses Rayi again as she looks at the ring on her finger.

Eddie comes in asking, Which one of you wise guys has made me proud first?

Matt replies, Rayi has gotten engaged to Joy tonight. See the nice ring on her finger?

Eddie says, Rayi and Joy, I am so pleased with you two getting married. How wonderful.

Joy asks, Are you sure, I am okay to marry Rayi?

Eddie replies, Yes, you are perfect for Rayi. I couldn’t be happier.

Matt says, Eddie wants to marry off all of the wise guys as soon as possible and get more Eds. I hope you like children, Joy.

Joy laughs, saying, I love children and Rayi. Rayi kisses Joy. He is so happy. But Eddie is the happiest and he is marking off his list of wise guys he has to marry off because he knows he will get cake to eat at their weddings. Joy can cook since they live at his house. Eddie is now on the phone to Jimmy and Kenny telling them the great news, then off to plan his wedding cake needs. Eddie is sure he wants chocolate cake with chocolate or white frosting. This is what Eddie can’t decide which keeps him up all night thinking. Kenny is wondering what kind of meat will they have at this wedding to eat and Jimmy is questioning are these kids a little young to marry? Sarah is trying to get a message to James to come home and talk to Rayi or find Roy to talk to his son about a long engagement.

Michael is at Billy Jo’s home for she has fainted and Raine is home with her mother. I guess readers, Rayi didn’t talk with anyone about this first. Is his family surprised to say the least? If you are told to lead then I guess you can do what you want in your own personal life. In other words, if I am not too young to give orders to others than I am not too young to decide about my own life choices without asking your advice first. You did say I had to lead, right!

Johnny says, We need to get engagement rings for our girlfriends and fast. Ronny agrees as Matt shakes his head while walking into the church to pray for help with the wise guys.

In the morning everyone is at the church breakfast looking at Joy’s engagement ring and it is a beautiful ring, not inexpensive. Joy starts to worry what this ring cost Rayi. His sister, Raine comes over to sit by her as Rayi is called away to Wim and Kev on work.

Raine says, You need to let Our People do a lot of the work you had done, so they can make money for themselves. Your new job is helping Barbie and cooking with Betsy. Don’t worry about the cost of the engagement ring. My brother paid cash for it and a lot of it.

Joy asks, Where did he get all that money from?

Raine answers, His new job pays so much money and the first thing he did with it was buy you an engagement ring. Rayi loves you more than anything in our world. He needs you.

Joy replies, I love Rayi more than I ever dreamed I could love anyone but I have nothing to give him.

Raine smiles, saying, Your love is all Rayi wants from you. True love is what he needs.

Sarah goes over to Joy and Raine, then says, Joy, I am happy you are marrying my grandson, Rayi, but please wait for my son Roy to be home before you marry. I don’t want him to miss your wedding. Then wait a few years before having children. Rayi and you can have each other, so he has you all to himself because guys need that in a marriage.

Joy smiles and agrees then Rayi comes back for her to go talk with Wim at the farm. Sarah hugs both of the kids and congratulates them on their engagement. At the farm Wim is there with Kev but is all upset. Joy goes in to see Bev who is crying as Raine is talking with her. Wim says, I am worried about my kids. Ara, Benny, Billy, and Melia don’t like Celia or Luna with Bobby crying all the time.

Rayi asks, Sir, what do you want me to do about it?

Kev answers for Wim, Keep the little ones safe. My kids are in it too. Peggy Sue and Peter don’t like Celia or Luna but Pierce is with the little ones. Why are the kids fighting?

Rayi replies, I’ll check into it. Matt and Johnny are still here to help me for at least another year. Raine may know something about it, she babysits the kids. Joy helps with cooking so maybe she knows something. I’ll check with the girls.

Rayi and Joy leave but Raine stays to help Bev with Wim who are troubled over their kids fighting as Kev goes to find his wife Sue. Rayi takes Joy with him straight to see Leo who is at home for the first time from the spy world. Leo smiles for he has been told about Rayi’s engagement to Joy by the group, word travels fast. Rayi asks, Do you know why Wim and Bev’s kids are fighting, those kids are so young? The oldest girl is nine and the youngest one is only a year old, what could it be about?

Leo answers, I have looked into it for my daughter, Sue, because her kids are in it too. Peggy Sue and Peter are with the older kids but Pierce is with the two younger ones and Celia. It is like anything, stuff. Wim is good with money and farming. Food is needed in our world and he is good at growing food. Then he is good at making money so he is a rich man and he pays you to lead so he doesn’t have to, while Roy, JT, and Tony are out in the world.

Rayi says, Who is to lead after Wim? Is that the problem here with their kids?

Leo replies, Yes, I understand money and power bring out the worst in people of all ages. Ara is the oldest so she thinks she should have the most say but Jimmy has the seventh and third child take over which is Luna and Celia. If Luna and Celia die then who gets it all? The oldest child? Kev is worried for the little kids’ safety. What a sad world we live in that it has come to this with our family and friends.

Rayi is shocked as he and Joy leave but he lets Raine know right away of the danger for the little kids of Wim with Bev. Wim is right to be so upset and worried. Rayi must talk to his trusted friends, the wise guys, but is it all the wise guys, as Rayi calls them? Rayi has Joy rest since he knows she is tired from their day and so she lays down. Matt, Johnny, Ronny, Robert, Mark, Carl, and Rayi start to talk about this problem Wim has with his kids. Joy can hear them talking in the outer room but where is Eddie and Barbie? Joy falls asleep and when she wakes, Rayi is sleeping beside her. Then comes Raine with Luna, Pierce, Bobby, Melia and Celia. The kids are playing in the back yard.

Rayi says, We are having our homes built there. These five little kids will be moving until Wim and Kev get things straighten out with the older kids’ behavior.

Joy asks, What do you want me to do?

Rayi answers, Help Raine with babysitting if you like kids.

Joy replies, I love children. I want you to myself first, then a baby from you. Is that okay?

Rayi smiles, saying, I like that plan. I need you alone for a few years in marriage, then children.

Raine comes in, saying, Okay, make out on your own time. I need help with these little kids. Rayi, you know the problems we will face so you better talk that over.

Ronny comes in saying, Rayi, come now, there’s another issue at the research hospital.

Raine says, I have to go too, sorry.

When Rayi gets to the research hospital there is Carl, Mark, Matt, Johnny, Andy, Robert, and Ronny waiting for him with Michael. Ronny says, I am going to be a father. Sandy is pregnant. I hope it is a son but will the baby have skills? We need to marry. Can you make it happen for us? She doesn’t know I know but Michael told me today.

Rayi answers, Yes, if I get Wim’s kids to stop fighting and his little kids are safe then he will let me give the order for us seven to marry next year. Barbie wants weddings two months apart because of Eddie’s cake eating needs. Anyone else need to marry soon?

Johnny says, Andy and I want to marry our girlfriends before we have to go out to fight.

Robert asks, What if Jimmy and the Elders say we are too young to marry?

Rayi replies, If Wim lets me lead and he has Cindy and the other silver skill agreeing with anything he wants, then that is it. I have stopped Jimmy once before. He didn’t challenge me.

Carl asks, Do you think Mark and I could marry our girlfriends before we too go out?

Matt asks, Mark, is it that serious with this girl? You haven’t known her for long.

Mark looks down and his face is all red as he replies, I love her and I want her. Her name is Anabella. And she is one of Our People with skills.

Rayi says, Okay guys, I understand this. Now next issue. Wim wants our skills not shared with the group. So, do we tell our wives? I am not telling Joy until we are married.

Carl answers, Mark and I have talked with our girlfriends since they have skills so we are good.

Andy says, Robert and I have been talking and we don’t want to ever tell our women about our skills. Why should we have to? My mother Ellie never knew about my skills or my dad’s.

Ronny asks, Do I have to tell Sandy? She doesn’t have skills even if her mother was one of Our People because her dad was the Jones guy.

Rayi answers, Okay, the less they know the better. Calvin and Kelly do the teaching of the babies with skills on how to use them. Michael, should I talk with them about it or you?

Michael replies, It is best if it comes from the leader and Wim wouldn’t lead.

Rayi says, I’ll do it. Any other problems today besides the world trying to blow up the Earth and us needing or wanting to marry with Ronny becoming a daddy?

Johnny says, Yes, Raine needs more help with babysitting Wim’s younger kids. She is the helper for Sylvia and that lady needs a lot of care.

Matt says, Rayi, your grandma Sarah and Wim have the money because of the food and water in the world. Have you noticed your family has unlimited wealth? Is that a problem?

Rayi replies, Raine and I make our own money. Raine is in love with a guy named Lee Elgin and he isn’t related to any of our Elgin’s. My dad got them here for Sam Elgin when he married my mom to please him. Jimmy and Tim Elgin helped Sam’s family after his dad died so Sam wanted to do the same for someone else with that last name but not related who are poor.

They all leave and Rayi goes to have the girlfriends do most of the babysitting for Wim’s younger kids. Rayi is also going to have homes built in the back of the elder’s homes connected to them so they can be there to help. The elder are over one hundred years old except for Kevin.

Eddie and Kenny come into Jimmy’s office with Kevin in there to say, Rayi needs to build homes in our houses for the wise guys who are marrying next year.

Jimmy replies, I know. Ronny is going to be a daddy. But she just got pregnant as Michael tells me so they have a little time. Another Eds for you, Eddie. Great news. Oh Kevin, Rayi needs your home for Pierce to live with you and Bonnie.

Kevin answers, Got it. Who is living where then?

Jimmy says, Rayi is in Eddie’s home, Johnny and Joey with wives in Kenny’s but Joey will wait to marry. Matt is in my home with Wim’s younger kids. Celia is with Sarah to study water. Melia is with Betsy to learn how to cook and the boys go out to the farm with C-Jay.

Kenny asks, Is it all under control then?

Jimmy replies, Yes, but we need Tony as a spy and Ricky come to do training with Kelly.

Rayi leaves to talk with Edward and says, How are the world issues coming along?

Edward replies, Ellie and Ken are out there fighting to disarm bombs. Do you need anyone back soon?

Rayi says, Can I get everyone back by New Years for a wedding without a problem?

Edward answers, If that is what you want, we will give it our best shot. You must lead.

Rayi walks away in shock that was too easy, so he goes to church to pray, thanking God for his help. Matt and Johnny come over to Rayi to pray with him as the three best friends pray together to God. Their jobs aren’t easy but it is workable and they have Jimmy’s full support.

Rayi is planning the seven weddings. The first one is New Year’s Eve for Ronny and Sandy. Second wedding is March first then May first, June thirtieth, August thirtieth, November first, and December thirty-first. Now, who to marry when is what the wise guys have to decide.

Rayi is up early and walks out of his room to see Matt and Johnny waiting for him. Johnny asks, Your orders, leader? Matt is laughing. To their surprise Rayi hands them his information on the weddings and building of the homes for them with the Elders.

Rayi replies, I got the wedding dates so I choose June thirty of next year for Joy and my wedding. What do you want, Johnny? We are living here with Eddie and Barbie.

Johnny answers quickly, May first of next year. I will also live with Kenny and my brother.

The first thing the three best friends do is go to church to pray to God for guidance as Eddie looks out the window saying, Hey, Jimmy and Kenny, we did raise them right. Look how they know what to do first in their workday. Good start with God’s help in our world.

Kenny says, We are still telling them that we are old and can’t do much, right?

Kevin replies, Yes, we are old, that is our story and we are sticking to it.

Jimmy is laughing and answers, That is the truth, we are old, it is not the whole truth but it will work for wise guys to do what is needed to get things done for us.

Tim comes in with Gerald saying, Are you telling only half of the truth, Jimmy?

Gerald replies for Jimmy, We are all still alive and kicking. We still can complain about everything, so that is good. Now who wants to complain about eating green food?

Jimmy calls out, Calvin, Edward, get Gerald home before we complain about green food.

Calvin and Edward come running as Kelly stands there laughing. She sees Kenny looking for his glasses or is it his teeth he misplaced. Eddie is trying to understand what Jimmy just said while Gerald leaves with Calvin and Tim. Then she notices Edward waiting to talk with Jimmy. This isn’t good. What is wrong in their world? Edward motions for Kelly to take Eddie and Kenny home but what does Edward say to Jimmy alone? Kelly hurries back to see Rayi, Matt, and Johnny in Jimmy’s office so whatever Edward said, Jimmy called Rayi, so it wasn’t good. Kelly is wondering why Jimmy doesn’t make Wim lead.

Kelly goes to talk with Calvin and Edward and asks, What is happening in our world and why won’t Jimmy make Wim lead?

Calvin looks at Edward then answers his wife first. Because you can’t make someone do something and Cindy will always help her son Wim. Wim is good with money and growing food which both are needed in our world. So, Jimmy lets him do what he is good at. Rayi has great power as young as he is and Jimmy is still in control as always.

Edward replies, The world is a mess and Roy with JT are needed out there. We can’t let our world be blown to pieces even if peace will never be on Earth. Tony is a big help to them. Rayi wants them back by the first of the year and we will do it for him; I think he would hurt people if anyone disagreed with him. I don’t understand it all but Rayi doesn’t know his full power. We thought the naughty boys with their friends were geniuses. I am afraid to think of these wise guys’ abilities and Rayi is the leader. Jimmy is a genius and his grandsons are geniuses so why would we think his great grandsons, the wise guys, are any less? Kelly looks at Calvin but Edward is right. The wise guys are Jimmy’s great grandsons and all geniuses with Rayi on the top so he must lead if Wim won’t. What about the girls?

Rayi comes home to Eddie’s house and sits down with Joy to have a nice night of a little loving time together when Kelly comes through the door. I guess readers, Kelly is an Eds and if you don’t remember from the other books, the Eds never knock-on doors, they walk in to do whatever. Rayi asks, What do you need from me now and why can’t it wait until morning?

Joy says, I can go into the other room so you two can talk.

Kelly replies, No, we can talk with you here, Joy. Get used to it because this will happen a lot.

Rayi says, Please stay, Joy. Okay, what is it, Kelly? I don’t see how I can help you. I learned from you at the spy school to be an agent. Am I in trouble at school?

Kelly replies, No, it is work. Jimmy’s great granddaughters are problems.

Rayi answers, Yes, Wim’s daughters divided for safety. C-Jay has the boys out to the farm.

Kelly says, I could help but how?

Rayi replies, Ara, you could try to teach as a spy with Peggy Sue, your granddaughter. Keep the kids apart. You could take Peter too.

Kelly answers, They are a little young but yes, I could take my two grandkids and Wim’s oldest daughter to work at the spy school as Ricky did. That would keep them out of trouble.

Rayi says, Yes, that is what we will do. Thanks for the help.

Kelly goes to talk with Calvin but he already knows, or has Rayi given
