Chapter Two The mid-day sun was beating down on me as I stepped from the plane onto the tarmac. My towncar was waiting about one hundred feet from the plane. I climbed in the car and told Marcus, my driver, there were no changes to our planned route. As we drove along the freeway, I picked up the cell phone and checked in with my local recovery specialists. They informed me that they had the required number of boys ready to be interviewed. I was also informed that a schedule for the interviews had been placed on my desk at the residence. We use the term recovery specialist because the term "recruiter" is not quite accurate. The boys I will be interviewing were not recruited. In fact, we would prefer it if they did not need our help to begin with, but such is the world we live in. My car rolled to a stop and Marcus stepped out and opened my door. "I will wait for you here sir," he said. I walked over to the grave and sat down beside it. I leaned over and placed a single red rose on the grave. "Hello Jason. I miss you my love." I began, with tears once again streaming down my face. Time may have eased my pain, but it could never dull the memory of my first true love. "I am sorry I have not been by to see you Jason but I think you will be pleased when you hear the reason. I took a large portion of my inheritance and purchased an island is the south Caribbean Sea. I named the island Jason's Haven in your memory. It's a resort island of sorts but it serves a much higher purpose. We built a huge dormitory on the island that can house two hundred and fifty boys. Each boy has his own dorm room complete with a telephone, television, playstation2, and a private bathroom. We also have one hundred cabanas where we house the guests of the resort." As I reached down and placed my hand on the grave, I continued. "There is a very large dining facility and a school building that can handle one hundred and twenty five students each session. We have two school sessions a day so that no more than half of the boys are in school at one time. There is also a thirty lane bowling alley, three Olympic size swimming pools, seven hot tubs, six tennis courts, four basketball courts, two baseball diamonds, a large commissary that is very well stocked, and an infirmary with thirty beds, four doctors and fifteen nurses on staff. Just recently, we added our very own bank. We have a fleet of five hundred quad runners that we use to get around the island. We even have our own little airport at the far end of the island. I think you would really like it there Jason." I went on to tell Jason why I was back in the United States. "We currently have fifteen dorm rooms open so I have come to interview boys to fill the vacancies. It is really sad that after so many years, hatred and bigotry are still as strong as ever. So many lives have been wasted and no one seems to be learning anything from it. Well Jason, I have to get going. I have a lot of work to do and little time to do it in. Say hi to my dad for me would you? I still love you Jason and I always will. I miss you so much it hurts and I think of you every day. Take care my love. I promise I will visit you again soon. Rest in peace my angel". I bent over and kissed Jason's grave before standing and returning to the car. "To the residence Marcus" I instructed my driver. "Very good sir." replied Marcus. I kept my father's house in the suburbs because I could not bare to part with the memories. I hired a live in house keeper who basically has the run of the place between my very infrequent visits to the States. His name is Mihai and he is one of the kids I was trying to help out. I first met him when he was sixteen and interviewed him for Jason's Haven. Instead of taking him to the island, I decided to offer him the job of caring for my residence. He readily accepted and has been working for me for three years now. He keeps the house in immaculate condition so he is worth every penny I pay him. He is also becoming an exceptional chef. When my car pulled up in front of the house, Marcus stepped out and opened my door for me. "I will be resting in the pool house if you have need of me sir." Marcus informed me. I told him that I did not think I would need him until later in the evening if at all. I walked up to the entrance and the door swung open. "Welcome home Tim" Mihai said with a toothy grin. "Hello Mihai, how have you been?" I asked. "Well, I have been okay but I got a C in calculus for my end of year grade." Mihai admitted with a touch of shame on his face. "College is a very important part of your life Mihai" I said sternly. "Quit honestly, I expect a little more bang for my buck mister. Perhaps a little less entertaining of guests and more studying is in order?" I asked. "I promise to work harder at it when school starts back in the fall" replied Mihai. "I'm sure you will Mihai. I have every confidence in the world that you will do better. You're a terrific young man and I don't know how I would get along without you." I said, trying to reassure him that I was not overly disappointed in his academic performance. "Your office is ready for the interviews and the schedule is on your desk. I am afraid it is rather grueling because of the number of vacancies you are trying to fill. Your first interview is scheduled for 2:30pm so you have about forty five minutes to freshen up." Mihai stated. "Thank you Mihai. I am going upstairs to shower and change" I replied before heading up the stairs to my room. The warm shower felt good after my long journey and, after washing, I stood under the spray for about fifteen minutes. Feeling refreshed and a little more relaxed, I threw on a pair of Dockers and a polo shirt. I stepped into my loafers without wearing any socks. The interview process was typically very informal. After all, the candidates were not exactly dressed to the nines. I headed back downstairs and went into my office. "Mihai, let me know when the first candidate arrives and then bring him on back." I said into the intercom. "No problem Tim" came Mihai's reply. I prepared my notepad for the first interview and then leaned back in my chair to relax. I heard one of our shuttle vans pull up to the house so I knew my first appointment had arrived. Mihai pressed the buzzer and announced "Mr. James Simmons is here to see you". "Escort him to my office please" I replied through the intercom. Mihai escorted the boy into the office and closed the door behind him when he left. "Nice to meet you James. My name is Tim Stevens and I am the Executive Director of Jason's Haven. Please have a seat and we'll get started." I said as the boy nervously sat down. " For starters, there is no reason to be nervous James. No one is going to harm you here. We are only here to help you and only if you want the help. Basically, all the decisions here are yours to make so just relax." "How old are you James?" I asked. "I am eleven years old sir. I will be twelve in two months." James replied. "And how long have you been on the streets James?" I asked. "I have been on my own for six months now sir." James replied. "And how have you survived on the streets for six months?" I asked. "Well sir, I have sex with men who pay me." James candidly replied. "And do you realize how dangerous that is James?" I asked. "How else am I supposed to get money to eat? I am not old enough to get a real job." James said defensively. "No one is judging you James. Life on the streets is very hard and you do what you have to in order to survive. I just want to make sure you understand the risks you are taking." I said trying to reassure the boy. "Yes sir. I know I could catch a disease or one of those men might hurt me." James replied as a tear rolled down his cheek. "How did you come to live on the streets James?" I asked. "My dad caught me sucking a boy's dick in my bedroom at home. He slapped me around a bit and then kicked me out of the house saying 'I will not have a queer in my home'. So I walked away and never went back." James answered, with a few more tears rolling down his cheek. "I'm very sorry to hear that James. Do you know what it is that you are interviewing for today?" I asked. "Yes sir. It is some kind of shelter for homeless gay kids." James stated. "Not exactly James. Let me explain our program to you." I began. " We take in homeless gay boys and take them to an island in the Caribbean called Jason's Haven. It is our own private resort island where no one will bother us. Your food and housing would be provided at no cost. You will be required to attend school and do certain chores around the island just the same as all of the other boys. It's not hard work but it is necessary work to keep our operation moving. In order to keep the program financially secure, we charge customers to come and vacation at our resort. A large part of the vacation experience for our customers is our unique island scenery. That is because the island is a clothing free zone. Except for security personnel, no one is permitted to wear anything but sandals and jewelry while they are on the island." "Is all of this clear so far?" I asked. James nodded so I continued. "The guests on the island are permitted to invite any of the boys they choose to their cabana for companionship. Of course the boys have the right to respectfully decline the invitation. If a boy chooses to decline the invitation, there is no penalty for the boy whatsoever. Customers are permitted to engage in sexual activity with other customers and/or with any of the boys as long as the sexual contact rules are obeyed. Likewise, boys are permitted to engage in sexual activity with other boys and/or with the customers. Again, the sexual contact rules must be obeyed. The rules for sexual contact are simple. Everyone involved in the sexual contact must be a willing participant. The sexual contact can not involve bondage or sadomasochism. And finally, no one may be coerced into participating in sexual contact of any nature." "So I can accept an invitation from a customer and then refuse to participate in a sexual act if I don't want to do it?" asked James. "Yes, that is absolutely correct James. Our customers pay top dollar to vacation on our island but they fully understand that they are not guaranteed to have any sexual contact whatsoever. All of the buildings on the island are monitored inside by security cameras. This is for your protection. There are security personnel stationed all over the island that could assist you in a matter of seconds should the need arise. You will never be forced to do anything of a sexual nature that you don't want to do. Everything still clear?" I asked. Jason nodded again. "When you arrive at the island, a bank account will be opened in your name. After the first seven days on the island you will receive an allowance for each day, as long as you perform your assigned tasks. The amount of the allowance is two hundred and fifty dollars and it will be deposited in your own personal account. If you are entertaining a customer and unable to perform your assigned tasks without inconveniencing the customer, you will still receive your allowance. However, no one is permitted to miss school without an excuse from the infirmary. Customers are aware that our boys have to attend school and will not be upset if a boy leaves to attend his classes. We encourage all of our customers to provide a tip to any boy who spends time with them as a sign of their appreciation. Any tips that you receive are yours to keep." I explained. "Why after seven days?" James asked. "Well, your transportation to and from the island is provided for you. We place your first seven days allowance in our transportation fund to help cover the cost of jet fuel." I answered. "All of the customers and boys on the island have been thoroughly screened for sexually transmittable diseases. Customers, and all of our boys, are required to maintain good hygiene while they are on the island as well. It is our aim to insure that all sexual contact on our island is as safe and pleasant as possible. Once a boy reaches the age of eighteen, he is given the option of going to work somewhere in our organization or being returned to the location where he was interviewed. In either case, all of the money in their personal bank account will be transferred to a bank of their choosing. Does that sound fair enough?" I asked. "This all sounds to good to be true. What if I decide that I want to leave" asked James. "That's a fair question. If at any time you decide you want to leave the island, all you have to do is let us know. You will be given a seat on the next flight off the island. Flights leave the island every Saturday. Your bank account would be transferred to a bank of your choosing. There would be no questions asked, as you are free to leave at any time. But you need to understand that once a boy leaves Jason's Haven for any reason other than a medical emergency, they are not permitted to return to the island again. So that's it! What do you think?" I asked. "So when will I be told if I am good looking enough to get into your program?" asked James. "James, no one said that you had to be good looking to be accepted into the program. When it comes to our customers, we are very selective of who we allow on the island. But for our boys, the only requirement is that they are in a bad situation through no fault of their own and that they need help. Your situation certainly qualifies you for the program. Our mission is to provide a place for boys like yourself to grow and learn without being picked on, intimidated, or physically abused. A place where you can not only explore your sexuality but celebrate it every day. A place where you might just find the happiness you deserve." I replied. "Count me in!" exclaimed James. "Very well then, Mihai will show you to your room. You will be staying with me until we have filled all of the current vacancies and then we will all fly out to Jason's Haven. From now until the time you leave, you will be accompanied everywhere you go by myself of one of my staff. This is for your protection. Once again, you have the right to decline our assistance at any time and back out of the deal. Does that sound okay with you?" I asked. "It sounds great sir." James replied. "Please call me Tim. There is no need for formalities between us. Okay?" I asked James as I buzzed the intercom for Mihai to come to the office. "Sure thing Tim" James replied. When Mihai entered the office I asked him to see to James' needs. "Mihai, please show James to guestroom one and help him get settled in." I instructed. Mihai simply nodded and put his arm around James' shoulder. "James, one more thing. If good looks were the way we choose which boys to help, you would be on the top of my list." I said as a winked at the boy. His face was beaming as he smiled back at me. When Mihai and James left the office, I headed to the kitchen for a soft drink. As I finished my soda, a very excited James came bounding down the stairs. "Tim! Tim!" He shouted as he came racing into the kitchen. "Mihai showed me this pamphlet on Jason's Haven. Do we really have three swimming pools and our very own bowling alley?" they boy panted as he tried to catch his breath. "We sure do champ" I said as I chuckled at the site of a very happy eleven-year-old boy. I tussled his hair as I walked past him and headed back to my office. Mihai was standing at the bottom of the stairs and I instructed him to let me know when the next boy arrived. He said he would see to it and then he walked into the kitchen to start preparations for dinner. Fifteen minutes later Mihai's voice came over the intercom announcing "Mr. David Nicholson to see you". I told Mihai to bring him on back which he did. Mihai escorted David into my office and closed the door as he left. "It's a pleasure to meet you David. My name is Tim Stevens and I am the Executive Director of Jason's Haven. Please take a seat." I said while motioning at the chair. I ran through the same set of questions I had asked James. Then I explained the rules of Jason's Haven and answered all of the questions David asked. He took a bit longer than James to make up his mind but he eventually agreed to the program. I had Mihai help David get settled into guestroom one. The third and final interview of the day was with a boy name Jonathan Talbet. He did not ask me a single question during the entire interview. He just sat there and listened to me explain everything to him. He had been staring at me with pleading eyes since he sat down. When I asked him if he wanted to join us at Jason's Haven, his face lit up like a Christmas tree and he readily agreed. I sent Jonathan off with Mihai and then loaded up the fax machine with the case studies of all three boys. I picked up the telephone and dialed the number for Allen Begley, my Administrative Assistant on the island. "Jason's Haven, this is Allen. How may I help you?" Allen answered in a professional manner. "Hi Allen, its Tim." I replied. "Hey Tim! How did the interviews go today?" Allen asked. "Three for three" I replied. "Unfortunately there is never a shortage of boys who are suffering as a result of hatred and bigotry. I am faxing you over the case studies for the three new boys. They are James Simmons age eleven, David Nicholson age fourteen, and Jonathan Talbet age ten. Please get a file started for each of them and get their dorm rooms assigned." I instructed. "I'll take care of it right away Tim. Good luck with the interviews tomorrow. Goodnight." Allen said. "Thanks Allen. Good night." I replied as I hung up the phone. Mihai stepped into the office to inform me that the boys had all been cleaned up and dinner was ready. I thanked Mihai and then headed for the bathroom to wash up. When I arrived in the dinning room, I saw three very clean little boys and Mihai sitting at the table. Mihai had prepared Lasagna, garlic toast, and salad. It smelled absolutely divine. Mihai filled the boys plates before filling his own. I filled my own plate and then we all dug in. I watched for a minute as all three boys were devouring their food. "Slow down boys. There is plenty of food for everyone and no one will take it away until you have had your fill." I told the boys. David looked up at me and asked "How many boys live on the island Tim?" "Two hundred and fifty of them David." I replied. "Two hundred and fifty naked boys? That must be a real site to see!" he exclaimed. "Ohhhhh it is David. Believe me it is." I replied with a sly grin on my face. Everyone broke out into laughter and I could feel the ice being broken between the boys and myself. "I need to tell you boys something and I want you to pay very close attention to me." I said as the boys all focused on me. "You have each agreed to be in our program and that means you agree to follow the rules we have set down for you. Particularly the safety rules. So until you have completed your medical tests, you are to have no sexual contact with anyone. The penalty for violating a safety rule in removal from the program. Does everyone understand?" I asked. "Yes" came the reply from all three boys. "Good. Now lets have some of that ice cream that is in the fridge before Mihai invites his school buddies over here to eat it all." I joked. Mihai looked at me with an evil grin and then stuck his tongue out at me. After dessert, the boys helped clear the table and then got settled into their room for bed. Tomorrow would be a very busy day for me with ten interviews scheduled. So I too headed for bed. I stopped at the boys room to wish them goodnight. They told me goodnight and I turned off their light. I walked into the master bedroom and took off my clothes before crawling into bed. I fell asleep in a matter of minutes. To be continued...
