Chapter Forty

We spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool. There was an occasional
dip in the water to cool down, but the pool was far to crowded to enjoy any
real swimming time. We had dinner in the suite before attended to evening
show. It was talent night and once again the competition was pretty tight.
When the show was over, we made our way up to the Starlight Lounge for
Karaoke. Michael talked Curtis into signing up to sing.

Curtis sang "It's Your Love" and he managed to get through it without
getting booed off the stage. When Curtis returned to the table, Michael was
raving about how wonderful he sang. Thus proving the theory that love is not
only blind, but deaf as well. James and I also complimented Curtis on his
effort. He had the nerve to get up and sing in front of all those people,
which is more nerve than I had. But the boys were having fun, and this was
my main objective, so I was very pleased. After the Karaoke, we all decided
to turn in for the night.

We made our way back to the suite and spent a few minutes on the balcony
before bedtime. Michael and Curtis said goodnight and then headed off to
their room, so James and I did the same. We crawled into bed and snuggled up
together. "Would you be upset if I asked for some time alone in the morning,
Tim?" James asked.

"I would not be upset at all, angel." I replied. "Is there something
bothering you?" I asked with concern.

"No, nothing like that. I just need a little time alone in the morning. We
can meet up by the pool after lunch." James replied.

"If that is what you want, that will be fine. I love you angel boy.
Goodnight." I stated.

"I love you too, Tim. Sleep well." James replied, before we kissed goodnight
and went to sleep.

We woke up at 8:00am and grabbed a shower together before breakfast. When
room service arrived, I had them set up on the balcony again so we could eat
in the open air. James tapped my leg under the table and nodded at Curtis
and Michael who were holding hands and kissing a lot during breakfast. We
both just smiled at each other. We finished our meal and spent a few minutes
chatting as a family before starting our busy day.

James left the suite first and reminded me that he would meet me at the pool
just after lunch. Curtis, Michael, and I decided to check out some of the
sporting venues on the ship. We took turns playing some one on one
basketball, and then played a round of miniature golf. Just before noon, I
was beginning to get hungry so we headed for the Pizzeria to have some
lunch. The place was not very crowded and it gave us a nice comfortable
atmosphere to talk. "I have a favor to ask of you Curtis." I stated.

"What do you need, dad?" he asked.

"Do you remember the boy you met in Miami? You and James played video games
with him while his dad was being interviewed for the helicopter pilot job?"
I asked.

"Yuri? Sure I remember him." Curtis responded.

"Well, he seemed to be pretty much at ease with you and James. I was hoping
you might be willing to help him get used to life on the island." I stated.
Yuri had just lost his father and Curtis had just lost his mother. I thought
the two of them might be able to give each other some support.

"I would be happy to show Yuri around. When is he coming?" Curtis asked.

"He will be arriving on the Island in the evening on Tuesday." I informed
him.

"Don't worry about a thing, dad. I will make him feel right at home." Curtis
assured me.

"Thank you Curtis. I knew I could count on you." I replied with a broad
smile.

"When can I see the new island, dad?" Curtis asked.

"Not until the construction work is finished, son. It is far to dangerous
until the engineers declare the island ready for occupancy." I explained.

"You won't even let me get a sneak peak?" Curtis asked, flashing me his
puppy dog eyes.

"I'm afraid not, son. It's not a place that is safe for you boys yet.' I
stated. We finished our lunch and then headed back up to the pool deck to
meet up with James. We found four lounge chairs available so we took a seat
and waited for James to find us. I had dozed off in my lounge chair when I
felt a pair of upside down lips kiss me.

"Hello, my love." James stated, with a soft smile.

"Hi, angel boy. Did you have a good morning?" I asked.

"It was very nice. I did some walking and thinking. I even managed to get in
a little window shopping." James replied.

"Anything you want to talk about?" I asked.

"No, Tim. Everything is fine. I promise!" he exclaimed. "But my ankle is a
little sore. Would you take a look at it?" he asked, walking to the end of
my lounge chair.

"We better let Michael have a look at it." I said with concern.

"I would rather you look at it, Tim." he said in a pleading voice.

I stood up and walked over to where he was standing and bent over to check
out his ankle. Just before I took hold of James' ankle, he shoved me head
first into the pool. "So that's how you want to be eh?" I said to myself. I
swam back over to the edge of the pool and James offered me a hand out of
the pool. I grabbed his hand and pulled him right in over top of me. When
James came back up to the surface he started trying to dunk me. But I was
just too strong and he could not get me under.

Curtis jumped in the pool and started helping his brother. The two of them
managed to dunk me several times before letting me go. We played around a
bit in the pool before getting out and laying back down on the lounge
chairs. "Thanks for the assist!" I said sarcastically to Michael.

"Hey, I never get involved in family squabbles." Michael said with an evil
laugh.

We stayed on the pool deck until it was time to get showered for dinner. We
made our way down to our suite and got ourselves cleaned up. When I walked
into the bedroom, I saw a small gift box laying on the bed. It was wrapped
in very elegant gold wrapping paper. I picked up the card and opened it. The
card simply read, "I will love you forever. Love, James."

I unwrapped the gift box and slowly opened it. Inside the box was a gorgeous
herringbone choker with a heart shaped diamond in the front. A small emerald
was on one side and a small peridot was on the other. Birthstones for myself
and James. I asked James to put it on me and he did. I turned and embraced
him as I gave him a very passionate kiss. "I will love you forever too, my
sweet angel boy. Thank you for a beautiful gift." I whispered.

James and I took a shower together and then I waited for him to get done
primping his hair. Curtis and Michael were waiting for us when we came out
of the bedroom. The four of us took off for the dinning hall. When we
arrived, the matredee showed us to the Captain's table and introduced us.
Captain Ole Hansen was a tad more stoic than Captain Svenson was. The
evening was pleasant enough but lacked the excitement and energy that
Captain Svenson provided for his table guests.

We took in the evening show and then Curtis and Michael decided to go
dancing. James and I thought it would be nice to enjoy a little quiet time
alone so we went back to the suite. We sat on the balcony for a few minutes
before James suggested we watch a movie. We went inside the master bedroom
and ordered a movie on one of the ship's on demand channels. We snuggled up
together on the bed to enjoy the movie. Our quiet evening was short lived
when the doorbell buzzed. I walked out into the suite and answered the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Nathan standing there with a security officer
and two boys that looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. "I am very
sorry to bother you sir, but we have a bit of a problem here." the officer
stated. I invited everyone into the suite and asked what was going on.
"These boys were found hiding out in the galley. They were discovered when
they tried to steal food plates from the serving rack." the officer said.

"Why were they stealing food? Aren't we feeding the crew enough?" I asked.

"They are not ours, Tim." Nathan stated.

I glanced at their wrists, and sure enough, they had no ID bracelets. "So
who are they and how did they get here?" I asked.

"We don't know." the officer advised.

"How did you boys get on the ship?" I asked.

Both boys were trembling in fear. "Usted habla espaņol" one of the boys
asked.

My high school Spanish was good enough to know what I had just been asked.
But it was certainly not good enough to talk to the boys. I asked the
officer and Nathan if either of them spoke Spanish. They both said no. I
shook my head no in answer to the boy's question. He just shrugged his
shoulders at me. "Now what do we do?" I asked in an desperate tone.

"Hugo Morales works on the ship for this rotation, Tim. He speaks Spanish.
Maybe he can help us." Nathan suggested.

"Good thinking. Where does he work?" I asked.

"He works in housekeeping, I think." Nathan replied. I instructed the
officer to call his supervisor and have Hugo Morales located and brought to
my suite ASAP. I also asked the officer to post himself outside the suite
door.

"While we wait for Hugo, can you order these boys something to eat, Nathan?"
I asked. "We will have to guess at what they like."

"I will have room service here in a few minutes. We can get them hamburgers
and French fries. Those are pretty safe choices." Nathan stated, before
picking up the telephone.

I motioned for the two boys to take a seat at the table, and they did. James
walked out of the bedroom and was quite surprised to see we had visitors. I
explained the situation to James and he asked what I planned to do with the
boys. I explained that I could not make any decision until we found out
something about them. Room service showed up ten minutes later and we got
our stowaways fed. It took another ten minutes before Hugo showed up.

I brought Hugo up to speed on our situation and asked him to translate for
us. He said he was more than happy to help in any way he could. "What are
your names?" I asked for starters.

"My name is Carlos. This is Pedro." the boy said, pointing to the other boy.

"My name is Tim. This is James, Nathan, and Hugo." I replied, pointing at
each in turn. "I need to know how you got onboard our ship, Carlos." I
stated.

"We fell asleep in a big container and woke up on the ship." Carlos replied.

"What were you doing in the container?" I asked.

"We were hiding from the bad man. He wanted to sell us." Carlos replied.

"Who wanted to sell you? You better start at the beginning so I can
understand." I stated.

"Pedro is my boyfriend. We lived on the streets in Cuba because our parents
would not let us live at home anymore. A man met us one day and asked if we
would like to go to America. We told him we did not have any money and he
told us we could pay him once we got to America and earned some money. He
hid us in a boat and we came to America. In the middle of the night, he
snuck us off the boat and tried to sell us to some men. We got scared and
ran. The container was the first place we found to hide." Carlos explained.

"When you woke up on the ship, what did you do?" I asked.

"We found a place to hide in a lifeboat. We saw all of the people on the
ship were naked so we took off our clothes so we could blend in. We watched
people show their bracelet for food and we did not have one. So we snuck in
the kitchen and stole food so we could eat. That is how he found us." Carlos
replied, pointing at Nathan.

"Please don't send us back to Cuba." Pedro pleaded.

"I am not going to send you back to Cuba. On the other hand, you have no way
to survive on your own in America either. Do you know anyone in America that
could take care of you?" I asked.

"No. We don't know anyone in America." Carlos replied.

"I think we have something that might interest you." I stated. I explained
our program to them and told them all about Jason's Haven. I explained that
they could stay and live on the island with us if they wanted to. I told the
boys that if they did not want to live on the island, we could fly them to
Miami and they would be on their own. They chose to join us on Jason's
Haven.

I picked up the phone and called housekeeping. I told them to bring two fold
away beds to my suite with bed linen immediately. I also informed them that
Hugo was being pulled from the remainder of his rotation. Hugo and his
brother Juan would have to serve as intake buddies for our newest additions
since they both spoke Spanish. "Hugo, you will have to sleep on the couch
tonight and I will send you ashore with these boys in the morning. Is that
alright?" I asked.

"Sure Tim. Glad I can help." he replied with a proud smile.

"Nathan, can you see that three breakfasts are added to our order in the
morning?" I asked. "And let the security officer know he can go now.

"I will take care of it right away, Tim. Unless you need me for anything
else, I better get back to work." he replied.

"Thanks for all your help tonight, Nathan." I stated, before kissing him on
the cheek. Nathan left to return to the Galley and James went back to the
bedroom. I told him I would join him as soon as we got the boys settled in
for the night. Ten minutes later, housekeeping arrived and got the fold away
beds set up in the suite. They also put bed linens on the couch for Hugo.

"Have either of you boys had sexual contact with anyone since you have been
on the ship?" I asked.

"No. We have not done anything but hide and eat." Pedro replied.

"You are not in any trouble. I just need to make sure you have not been in
contact with anyone." I stated.

"The only people we have touched were the guy who caught is in the kitchen
and the officer that brought us to you." Carlos insisted.

"Very well then. You boys are not to have any sexual contact with each
other, or anyone else tonight. Tomorrow you will get your medical tests done
and we can go from there." I instructed. The boys agreed, so I got them in
bed and turned down the lights in the suite. I placed a ship to shore call
to Allen and let him know we would need Intake for two boys in the morning.
He was not real clear about why, but I told him I would explain it all
later.

I waited up until Michael and Curtis returned to the suite. I did not want
them getting shocked by the crowd we had staying with us. I explained the
situation to both of them and Michael asked if he should check the boys out.
I told him that would not be necessary since they were already asleep and
would be going to intake first thing in the morning. I gave Curtis his
goodnight kiss and then headed back to the master bedroom. James was waiting
patiently for me to return.

"Are the boys all settled in?" James asked.

"They are sound asleep. Michael and Curtis are in for the night as well." I
replied. "I am sorry our special evening was ruined."

"There is nothing to be sorry for, Tim. This is what we do. Those boys need
help and it's our job to help them." James replied with a smile.

"You're a very good man, James. You make me proud to be your partner." I
said softly. We cuddled and kissed for thirty minutes or so before deciding
to go to sleep. "I love you, my angel. Sweet dreams." I whispered.

"I love you too, Tim. Goodnight." he said before rolling over on his side. I
spooned myself behind him and wrapped my arms around him. We both drifted
off to a deep sleep.

The morning sun woke me at 7:30am. James was still asleep so I gently pulled
my arms from around him and crawled out of bed. I made a visit to the
bathroom to relieve myself before crawling back into bed. I lovingly nibbled
on James earlobe which had the desired effect. "Good morning, my love." he
mumbled, as he rolled onto his back and stretched.

"Good morning, angel boy." I replied before giving him a passionate kiss.
"Did you sleep well?" I asked.

"Yes, very well." he replied with a broad smile.

"I have to take the boys onto the island this morning. Do you want to come
with me?" I asked. "I thought we might try out the Para-sailing."

"Your going to try Para-sailing?" James asked in amazement. I wouldn't miss
it for the world." he chuckled.

"Your confidence in me is inspiring." I quipped. I picked up the telephone
and called the Purser.

"Purser's desk." came the voice on the phone.

"This is Tim Stevens. I will need a tender ready to take myself and four
other passengers to shore before the regular passengers start tendering to
the island." I stated.

"We will have a Tender standing by for you at 8:45am." the Purser stated.

"Very good. Thank you." I replied before hanging up. "We better get the boys
up and fed so we can get them to the Tender on time." I stated. I walked out
into the suite and gently woke Hugo first and then our two stowaways. I
instructed them to get washed up before breakfast and told them what would
be happening to them this morning. The boys had no questions so I left them
to their morning business.

I knocked on the door to wake Curtis and Michael. Curtis finally opened the
door and I informed him of our plans for the morning. He told me that he and
Michael would be out in a minute for breakfast. Breakfast arrived at 8:00am
and we all sat down to eat. Michael, Curtis, James, and I sat on the balcony
to eat while the other three boys sat at the table in the suite. When we
finished eating, James and I lead Hugo and our stowaways down to catch the
tender.

The ride to the tender pier was a quick one lasting only three minutes. I
instructed Hugo to have one of the taxi quads take him to his quad. Then he
was to find Juan and both of them were to report to intake. The rest of us
got on a taxi quad and headed for intake. When we arrived at intake, I had
two taxi's wait for us and sent the other two back to the pier for the
customer.

We waited outside of intake until Hugo and Juan showed up. I did not want
the new boys getting somewhat painful tests done to them with no way to
communicate. It took Hugo and Juan about twenty minutes to arrive and then
we all went inside the intake center. Once Calvin had the boys, James and I
headed back to our taxi's. I instructed the drivers to take us to Allen's
house.

Once we were at Allen's house, I explained the situation with the new boys
and told him the boys would need dorm rooms. We currently had a number of
vacancies so there was no problem getting them into the dormitory. Allen
asked how the vacation was going and we told him it was going well. I asked
if there were any problems on the island I should be aware of and he told me
everything was running smoothly. I told Allen we would see him in a few
days. Then we headed for the beach. It was time to try my hand at
Para-sailing.
