Trinity

~~

Reece and I took Reagan and Rika back to my office. That was where we met with Darrol and Reggie again. They were already hard at work on sorting the information that they had received. It was nice to see that they were already preparing things even before Reece and I had made it back to the office. They were dedicated to the work that they were doing.

“Hello, Queen Trinity.” Darrol, as excited as he usually was, leapt to his feet when I entered the room. “There is a lot of data that we have ready to go through, but I am sure that we will get it all done as soon as we possibly can.”

“That is wonderful Darrol, I am glad that you are so enthusiastic. We did bring you some help though.” I explained to him, and that was when he saw the extra people that were with us.

“U..uhm, Q..Queen Trinity, why do these two look familiar to me? I am sure that I have not met them before.” He looked thoroughly perplexed as he tried to figure it out.

“You can’t tell?” I laughed as I asked the man that question. “Do they not look like Reece and I?”

At that, Darrol looked between Reagan and Rika then to Reece and I. It was easy to tell that he was a little shocked when it dawned on him.

.....

“Th..these are your kids?” He looked way more shocked by that then I would have thought that he would. “Oh wow. I..I admit, I forgot how old you were, Queen Trinity.” He laughed nervously as he said that. “A..and so, i..if these are your kids, w..would that make them the oldest of them? That would be Princess Rika and Prince Reagan, right? I..it is so nice to meet you. I am Darrol Harper, FBI agent and hacker extraordinaire.” It was clear that Darrol was nervous about what was happening, but he was the type to go with the flow, no matter what it was. He was a good man to have on our team, and I was glad that he was on our side.

“It is nice to meet you, Darrol.” Reagan held his hand out to him. “I am Reagan Gray. And I guess that it is you I am here to help. My sister and I wanted to help my parents with whatever it was that they needed. And this data you have is the first step.”

“Alrighty then. I am good with that.” Darrol clapped his hands together, the nerves in him ebbing away.

“It is nice to meet you, Prince Reagan, and you as well, Princess Rika.” Reggie held her hand out towards them. “I am Regina Danylo. You can call me Reggie.” Rika took her hand in introduction.

“It is good to meet you both. I am Rika Gray. Thank you for this opportunity to work with you.”

“No, thank you for the help. We really do have so much work to do that a couple of extra hands will go a long way.” Reggie explained to her.

“Well, now that the four of you are all acquainted with each other, let’s get to work. I will let the two of you explain what you need from Reagan and Rika. Reece and I are going to work on scheduling some meetings that we need to attend. And I have some more plans to put into motion. We all have a lot of work to do, so please do your best.”

“Yes, of course, Queen Trinity.” Darrol nodded at me.

“We will work hard.” Reggie added.

“You can count on us.” Reagan grinned.

“We’ve got this, Mom.” Rika spoke last.

I let the four of them move to the other side of the office, where the computers were set up and the massive amount of information that Darrol had collected was stored. They set out to sort things out immediately, and that was good, because it meant that I didn’t need to be there with them. Not that I thought that I needed to be. They were all adults and capable people.

I wasn’t lying when I said that Reece and I were going to be setting up some meetings that we needed to have. Normally, this would be something that we needed to use our assistants and secretaries for, but we wanted to make an impression, so Reece was calling people directly. Or as directly as we could get in the beginning. Most of the time, we needed to be put through to their secretaries and assistants. And then we were leaving messages that would hopefully be returned as soon as possible.

While Reece started with that, I started to worry about something else entirely. I needed to have Gabriel, Vincent, Noah, and as many of the others as I could, help me with something that I felt was equally as important as setting up the laws and ordinances for our people’s future treatment.

And what I felt was equally important was the education of our future leaders. I knew that Reece, myself, and all of the others were likely to be here for a long time still, and that things might change before Reagan and Rika, and whoever else, took things over, but they still needed to know more about our community, politics, and culture.

I conference called, on the phone not mentally, all the men and women that I wanted to help me with this. Juniper, Aunt Glory, Athair mòr, Grandfather, Noah, Bryce, Gabriel, Vincent and Dietrich were all people that knew how things worked, and what people needed to know. They would be the ones that would be helping Reece and I teach the kids. And it wasn’t just going to be our kids either. We would invite that entire graduating class, well all that still lived in the city, to attend these lessons. The others would learn when they came home.

Thankfully, everyone agreed that we needed to start these lessons. With the turmoil that our people were likely to face in the coming weeks and months, we would need more advocates out there for them. And the newly adult among our people, our own children, would be some of the best advocates to use. A lot of the world didn’t know who they were by sight, because we had kept them from being published too much. They were also good kids, and they were never in trouble or in the news for anything. That meant that they were good role models for our people to follow.

Lessons were coming to mind for us all, things that we wanted to teach all of the kids. Things that we felt that they needed to know. And before I knew it, all of the others were talking amongst themselves, allowing me to leave the call and help Reece.

“What are we looking at?” I asked him as I saw the list of numbers in front of him.

“I haven’t managed to talk to anyone directly, but I had expected that. I have left messages for them all though, so hopefully they will-.” He stopped just then because the phone rang. “Well, isn’t that good timing?” He laughed.

“Here, I will answer it.” I took the phone from him and saw that the number was showing from Washington D.C., the nation’s capital.

“Hello.” I spoke softly after swiping the screen and pressing the phone to my ear.

“Yes, hello, this is President Jamilynn Maddock, I am personally returning a call from Mr. Reece Gray.” The breezy and sweet voice of the woman spoke into my ear.

“Hello President Maddock, this is Mrs. Trinity Gray, Reece’s wife and business partner. He is here with me, and I want to thank you for your quick response.” I answered the woman quickly and politely

“Well, I have to say that I was intrigued. Not only did I receive a call from your husband, but I also had half a dozen members of congress in here today, both republican and democrat, and they insisted that I take a meeting with the two of you. I don’t know what is going on, Mrs. Gray, but I know that there is something that must be important.”

“Yes, it is highly important.” I nodded even though she couldn’t see me. “We would like to meet with you as soon as possible. When are you available? I am sorry if I sound pushy and rude, it’s just that this is vital.”

“Well, I have some free time coming up this weekend. Aside from this evening that is. I know that is too short notice though, so that is out.”

“What time this evening?” I was looking at my watch. It was already almost five here, and that meant that it was almost seven in her time zone.”

“Aren’t you in Colorado, Mrs. Gray?” She asked me, perplexed. “You won’t be able to get her in time. I am free around eight this evening, that is the only time that I have available until the weekend.”

“If you are willing, Reece and I will be there at eight tonight. And I will even have some of the congress members there as well. I would like them to help me explain everything to you that we need to discuss.”

“Alright. If you are sure that you can be here in just over an hour, I will be waiting for you. This should be interesting.” I heard the note of challenge in her voice. She knew that we weren’t in the same time zone, let alone the same city, so she thought that I was wasting her time.

“Thank you, President Maddock. We will see you this evening.”

“I can’t wait.” There was definitely a note of excitement in her voice. She was challenging me. That was fine with me. I was more than up for the challenge.

When I disconnected the call, Reece turned to look at me and I saw the smirk on his face.

“We need to rush, don’t we?” He wasn’t upset or daunted by the swiftness with which we were expected to pull this off. In fact, he looked like he was having a blast.

“Yes, we do. I am glad though. This is a good thing for us. We don’t need to wait for a meeting. And this isn’t one that will be on the books for the others to see. I am sure that, since it’s only an hour away, no one will know that we are meant to be there.”

“Agreed. This will give us an advantage over the NSA.” He was right on track with me for this.

Feeling the excitement coursing through my veins, Reece and I started to alert the congress members. We told them that they were able to decide who it was that was going to meet with the president with us, most likely the same half a dozen of them that had already gone to see her today. The president already knew that they were in on this with us, and it would be a lot easier to keep things going forward if they were to join us again.

After the congressmen were notified, Reece and I started to notify the staff that we would be leaving for a little while. Reagan and Rika, as well as Darrol and Reggie, were notified of the change in our plans. And lastly, Talia, Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley were all notified. They had to know that we were going to be gone for a little while so that they didn’t come looking for us.

“We will be back later this evening.” We told the kids as we prepared to open the door to the president’s office. “We are just waiting for the go ahead from the congressmen in the office.”

“Good luck, Mommy.” Zaley smiled at me.

“Mommy doesn’t need luck. She can do this with no problem at all.” Zayden gave us a thumbs up.

With their support, and the go ahead coming through mentally from Senators Stevens, it was time for us to go. Another part of this plan was starting right in front of us.
