Chapter Six - At the Yellow Restaurant - Can you ever go home again?
A few days later, Eduard arranged for Loretta and Judy to meet with him at the Yellow Restaurant connected to the Five Star brothel community. Eduard began by saying, "I have a great deal of news for you," but Judy and Loretta were called away to have sex with two men from France who had not been able to find them in the brothel. There had been some scheduling mistake.
An hour later, Eduard finally got to talk to Loretta and Judy, "Before we are interrupted again, I must say that our mother and sister are in Lbirne and our brother is now upstairs having sex with some woman that Morice brought in a few years ago from France."
Loretta and Judy expressed amazement and confusion. Eduard went on, "Almost no one in Glaessov or Lbirne has any idea who his parents are because no one knows the father and records are deliberately not kept of the identity of mothers. Given the enlightened nature of our society, such data would only cause false sentimentality and confusion. There is one exception to the lack of record keeping on parentage. Few in Taritarat know of it. If they know of it, almost none know if the exception applies to them.
"I have assumed my mother was one of the many daughters of Western women who was born in Taritarat and impregnated by a sex tourist. I knew that records are kept of the mothers and children of the western born free love hippies that lived in Taritarat in the 1980s. This was done for the reason that things are usually done in Taritarat, to raise revenue. It was expected that most of the western women who fled Taritarat in 1986 and 1987 would never have any assets and it has generally worked out that way. But it was thought that some of the women who had children here and left them with brothel owners or other guardians would attain riches and could be blackmailed with facts about their past into sending money to Taritarat or could be asked to give money to help their abandoned children. This has happened. Most of the women who are allowed to visit Glaessov or Lbirne are visiting children they abandoned in the 80s.
"A man named Harpin was the government overseas agent for getting money from the mothers of the children left in Taritarat by foreigners who fled. Harpin had the list of mothers who had left children in Taritarat and found that a Gloria Saintange had had a male child in 1984 in Taritarat and a female child in 1986 that were left with guardians. Those two children are me and Loretta.
"Harpin looked into the situation of Gloria Saintange, who become Gloria Rocklin, and determined that she did not have enough money for it to be worthwhile to bother her for money. However, he learned also that she had two attractive daughters born in the United States that it would be very nice to lure to Glaessov or Lbirne. Harpin succeeded in getting Cate here and she has been in the Five Star brothel in Lbirne for over 21 months, has had a child and is now four months pregnant. She was found guilty of having made a false statement on her entry form by saying that she had a close personal relative in Taritarat. Gloria's other daughter born in the U.S. found a slightly different route to Taritarat." Eduard looked at Judy and smiled.
"Gloria was never charged with any violation of Taritarat laws but decided to stay in Lbirne anyway. At first she was placed in a community that was focused on care of young children. She liked that but she also liked to walk around the city. When she did, she was always quickly taken for sex the maximum seven times every day. The authorities eventually figured out that Gloria is very attractive for her age and she was relocated to a Four Star community where she has very limited childcare duties but raises much revenue for the brothel owner through her activities in bed.
"Gloria is generally happy. She has a good friend Betty in her community who is about her age and used to live in Florida. Like Gloria, Betty really likes sex and they often go out on long walks together on days in which they are not scheduled for a lot of sex in their rooms.
"So here we are. It will be a very strange family reunion after I talk to Judy's brother Charles and we go to see Cate and Gloria in Lbirne. Also, I have an idea that might be of interest to you and Cate."
After being brought to Judy by Eduard, Charles said he was very pleased to see his long lost sister but chastised her for not letting him know before she left for Taritarat. Judy had no good answer. She did not know why she had been so careless herself. Death wish, sex slave wish or something similar?
Lbirne is less than an hour drive from Glaessov. Eduard as a fairly high government official was allowed to see Cate as soon as she was done entertaining the man by whom she was being sodomized.
It was harder to locate Gloria. She was on one of her long walks with Betty. The receptionist at the community where she lived said that Gloria and Betty never come back from a walk before they both are taken the full seven times allowed and walk eight kilometers. The government set a firm limit of seven so that women would be able to get some fresh air and exercise without being constantly subject to sex. The receptionist joked that, "Gloria probably wishes the limit were at least twice seven."
There was nothing to do but wait. About two hours later, Gloria walked up to the door with Betty, both naked as a jaybird and reeking of sex. Both looked very healthy. Gloria was excited to see Judy and Charles who she had not seen in almost two years. After hearing the facts from Eduard, Gloria was nonplused to learn that she had numerous grandchildren that she would never meet, or maybe she had already met but would never know they were her grandchildren.
"Yes," Eduard said, "Loretta has given birth six times and Cate and Judy one each. Cate is pregnant again." "I think I am also," Judy said, "I'm feeling morning sickness."
After long explanations, some apologies and some tears, Eduard asked, "Judy, Cate, do you want to go back to Florida?" The sisters asked how that was possible and Eduard explained.
"Based on ancient religious law, the laws in Taritarat are interpreted quite literally. On advise of counsel you both said nothing after being charged with making a false statement on your form to enter Taritarat. So you were convicted, but the conviction can be reconsidered if it is clear that the facts contradict the charges.
