Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:39:31 -0700 From: dnrock@rock.com Subject: Jonathan & Cory 14 Jonathan & Cory by: dnrock(dnrock@rock.com) 14. Cory and Ed brought Frank along to Cory's place. Jerad struggled with a huge box that had been delivered from the Cory's Friends office. It was not heavy but it was quite large. Cory got off the elevator at his apartment and the other three continued up to John's. Jerad put the package in the office. Ed found a swimsuit that would fit Frank and they went into the bathroom to change. Jerad could hear the giggling. It sounded like a couple of girls to him. Ed was no longer shy or modest when it came to showing his body to other boys and men. Frank is shy and he turned around to face away from Ed, only to see the entire scene reflected in the huge mirrors. So much for mdoisty. That is when Ed told Frank he was sure a beautiful boy, he turned bright red as Ed proceeded to parade around with his flag flying at half mast. Eddie was coming on to Frank even if neither one quite realized what was happening. Except for his cortch and flat chest Frank did look like a girl and he is pretty reguardless of gender. This is something he realized. From Ed's view his ass is just perfect, round with nicely seperated cheeks, not to large and smooth as silk. Ed pulled up his suit and made a big show of adjusting his boyhood. Everything either boy did caused more giggling. When Cory came up he inspected the box and told the others it was best left until they had a swim. Cory knew what was in it but Jerad and the boys didn't. At the pool it was teen city with all the schools now off until the new year. What susrprised Jerad was the ratio of boys to girls, at one to three. Cory is well enough known in the building that he is not considered celebrity. Today about half of the teen were guests. Ed quicly discovered that not only was Cory a girl magnet but Frank was as well. They seemed drawn to his shyness. While the normal swim ware for boys in this town are those broad shorts. At Cory's pool the local boys have all switched to briefs of some sort. Cory was not ashamed of his body, why should they be, besides the girls all seemed to approve. Cory found this all very stimulating. Mostly stimulated by the boys but a nice girl ass is good to look at too. Edward and Frank were getting some gay boy lessons on how to interact with girls, especially the ones that come on to Cory and by association you. They knew what gay for pay was, even if they had never seen any. They could understand straight for Public Rrelations. At this point Frank did not know if Cory was gay or striaght and was just assuming Ed was gay. "I'm gay with a big crush on Cory but Ed is sure turning my crank and that body guard, Jared, man was he cool, I wounder about him," Frank was thinking. The local straighte boys crowded around Cory too. They are not stupid, besides Cory is like them, he swims, plays the same vido games, does marshal arts and gymnastics, cycles and stff like that. If he gives the girls sticky panties, so much the better. If that helps the gay boys in the group all well and good. Not that these boys are getting all that much or the girls are giving it up easily either. The boys are more likley to get gratification in a circle jurk then from these girls. When you are playing water games, personal space is often willingly sacraficed. Cory had learned a long time ago to just ignor the feels and pats from both the boys and girls, in this situations. He was very careful in returning them too. Not that he didn't but he did try and be discrete. Management, mostly his mom and John, had warned him many times about his public presence. Jared kept a keen eye our for trouble of course, also for cell phone cameras and the like. As long as Cory was aware he was being photographed that was acceptable. It is acceptable to let the crotch push up against you. It is acceptable to push yours against them but only if you get a positive reacton. From the girls and most of the boys, Cory always did. After about an hour in teenage fanticy land, Jerad reminded Cory he had late afternoon duties. It was obvious that the three boys were all highly stimulated. It was obvious, so was Jared. The elevator was full of teen as it rose. Cory stayed on, not wanting to let any of them know what floor he lived on. Besides it would be a lot more fun to shower with Ed and Frank then by himself. Between entering the shower and drying off the boys had determined they were all into boys sex, all willing to share with each other and that Frank had it hard for Jerad. Following a round of kissing and cock sucking, the boys imerged to find Jerad and John in the kitchen. Eddie began giving Frank his expert advice, on how to seduce the man a boy desires, be it gay, straight or inbetween. Frank is a natural fluirt and went right into it. Eddie then suggested that Frank call home and get permission to spend the night with him. John agreed but woundered what Eddie was up to. Unless he was prepared to give up his time with Willialm. As soon as Cory started his next game John had figured it out and so had Jared. In the large box, which everyone else had forgetten about, was quite a surprise. Cory opened it and out spilled a couple of hundered or more piars of undies. They were from boys and girls in all sizes and many styles. Each one came with a note to Cory. Cory and the boys placed the notes in a pile and sorted the undies in to male and female groupings. Being a Cory game it was not quite that simeple. He insisted Eddie and Frank strip naked like himself. Then in a turn about fashion each boy would pick a pair of panties or briefs and read the note aloud. As each round continued, the model would switch gender groupings. Put them on. Model them for all assembled. Then place the notes in a pile. In some instances make a few notations on them for future reffference. After the second round Cory complained that John and Jerad were not naked and should be. They complied. For John no big deal, he likes being naked. Jared is not shy or overly modest . John had this ploy figured out. He woundered if anyone even considered Jared's thoughts. Probably so but probably no one asked either. Being a professional Jerad would probably say no anyway. Frank was part of the family not the business. In the boy's minds that would make it okay. Non of the boys had modeled both boy and girl undies. Unlike cross dressers, these lads had no real idea about how they should look. They knew the anatomical differences of course. The girl undies tend not to have the give and design of the boy's. They often looked quite funny with a firm erection trying to force its way outward against the lace and shear fabric. As for Frank he did look the part of a true sissy boy and he knew it too. He now woundered why he never tried his sister's undies on before. Not all the undies had notes with them. Many did. The boys tended to say things like "I dream of you wearing these" or "cream in these for me, I did for you." The girls tended to say more and often luder. Frank was getting right into it and several times when the message said something like reach inside and feel me, Frank read it directly to Jerad. William showed up druing the fifth round. The boys, started by Cory, got into feeling each other's butts and crotches and makeing comments about how sexy each other and themselves looked in this or that style or color. By the tenth round the boys were getting feels and pats from the men. By the 15 round Cory and Ed kissed and by the 17th round Frank had Jerad's hand in his undies, folding his erection and kissing his lips. By the time the piles were finshshed everyone was so sexed up, the only possible result possible, was men and boys, fucking and sucking. In the morning someone found the pain killing cream for Frank's, now very tender butt. Following a long discussion about what to do with all these undies and how to thank the fans, withouth generating more of them, took place. Jerad took Frank to his home. John made sure to advise Jerad how to proceed, if he wanted too, before they left. Cory had decided he needed to thank all those that sent him stuff. Kevin and Brenda thought this whole thing needed to be shut down. While the undies were cute they presented a problem other stuff didn't. Stuff animals and things like that could be given to different cherities, undies not. Brenda was not all that impressed with the messages attached to many of them. Cory was more philosophial. "Look mom, for most of those boys and girls, were they here right now, I be right out of luck. It is real easy to send a note along with some undies, that says, `I want you in my pants,' but real hard to take those pants off in person. You know that girl Jenny that lives down the hall from us. She just about swoons every time I even talk to her but I'll bet she wouldn't date me and if she did I doubt would even give me a kiss." Brenda strired over her glasses. "Why Cory because she is in grade 11," Brend asked voicing her skepticism? "Yes that's part of it. I think it is the image, the fanticy, that truns them on. They think I am sexy. I think I am too but probably not for same reasons. It is a fanticy. Just like naked women in magazines are fanticies for boys. Sometimes it is best to just keep the fanticy or image because the reality will just not be the same," Cory replied. "I am afraid some of those adolecents do mean what they say Cory. I am certain that some of them would jump into bed with you at the first oppertunity. The danger is they will then balb to all their friends, I screwed Cory Wright. The risk is, they will then say he wasn't all that hot you know," John added. "I don't think that is the kind of reputation my fourteen year old son should have," Brenda added. "Mom..." "I agree but probably for different reasones," William said with Kevin and John nodding agreement. "At fourteen you need to keep the mystory alive and growing. Cory, you are correct about the image and fanticy thing. It is better to keep them guessing. The last thing they need to know is what someone else thinks about your sexual preformance. You need to keep the hope alive. It is important that you be the perfect gentelman on your dates. You want them to blab but blab what you want. You want them to say, `I had a great time and his good night kiss was super. If he askes me again, I will gladly go.' Those teen magazines will be on you in the new year. I'm already gettng interview requests. You have an image to protect. Those vulchers just love knocing down images. I don't want them to even have a chance. The rich and wouldbe famous will soon be calling. They will be inviting you to their fancy parties," Kevin added. "I don't think I like that idea," Branda said. "I like the idea of fancy parites and meeting new people of any economic strata. I don't like the idea of being used and that is what it would be. You can used my image but you can't use me or my friends," Cory stated. "I think you should write on your fan site that you appreciate all the gifts your fans have sent to you. Please stop sending them, you are being overwhelmed. Then offer a solution. Instead of spending money and postage to send things to yourself, why not spend that same amount on a donation to UNCIF or to a children's cherity of their choice. It will mean almost as much to you knowing that a needy child some place is being helped in your name, as the woundrful support of the best fans in the world that you enjoy. You can post a few of the big name addresses," John suggested. Cory was all for that. He would do it right after the meeting. He still had hundreds of undies to dispose of and no good ideas? They thought they should all think on it a bit and the meeting ended. Later Cory and John were talking. You know, that talk which takes place between kissing and the other things lovers do. Cory thought perhaps Marcel would have a suggestion. Sure enought Marcel did. He suggested Cory donate all those undies to one of the gay and leabian youth magazines. They could offer them to the first 500, in exchange for a donation to one of the national GLT youth organizations. "You tried them all on didn't you? Know one else needs to know you had help. When asked just say it is my GLT friends that need support not the others," Marcel advised. That settled that. Cory had difficulty holding off calling Frank but he figured he should let him do the calling. He and Ed had set him and Frank up. The remainder was between them. Ed was to stay home until Monday night. Brenda was attending one of the Christmas parties with clients William had no contact with. Ed and William would get together then. Jerad would work right up to Christmas Eve and then accompney Cory, William and Brenda to Colorado. Everyone had parents and relatives to visit and parties every night before then. Cory did not get that phone call for another day. Frank reported that after the undie game he and Jerad had the most wounderful sex, it was even better then he had imagined it could possibly be. "I thought I knew what boy sex was all about and what loving another male was. Man was I out to lunch. When Jerad kissed me I could feel it right down my spine and into my crotch. When his mouth engulfed my cock the hair stood up on the back on my neck. When he fucked me I thought I was going to heaven. When I fucked him I knew I was there. Cory, when he kisses me and presses his tongue into my mouth my toes curle up. I'm so stiff I can't stand it, just talking about him." When Jerad took him home, no one was there so he left his lute and a note saying he was staying with Cory and Ed and they went to Jerad's appartment. Once inside Jerad did a very erotic stripteese and then crawling on his hands and knees, striped Frank using only his teeth. They fucked and sucked for hours. Frank said he never dreamed he could come that many time in one day or that a man could possible worhisp his body the way Jerad did. Lack of experience Cory figured. He knew what being worshiped by his man was. "Get accustomed to it Frank, it only gets better," was Cory's advice. "Your one of us now," he said. "Us?" "A man's boy Frank. Ed and I are too or didn't you notice." "Oh, I noticed and Ed told me what to do." "I think you need to become a model, that will give you and Jerad lots of reasons to be together." "I like that but I don't know if my parents will go along." "They will when the see how well it pays, oh and I can show them some of the snaps I took of you and Ed trying on the undies." "You wouldn't would you?" "Of course not, Frank, I would show them a few of the snaps of you with cloths on. John will talk them into it. I know we have some catalogue stuff coming up in late January. Maybe we can get you some falcies and you could do some of the girl clothing too." "Ok, but only if you and Ed model the girl undies." What Jared never told Frank or anyone else, was what happened to him that night. He had no intention of getting involved with any boy. He is always thought of himself as a ladies man and bisxual a little. When he felt Frank's butt filling those briefs and Frank pressed his hand aganinst his cortch and he could feel the boy's cock pulsing to that touch, he broke. When he and Frank kissed he was 90% gone and when he reached inside of Frank's girl panites to feel the heat of his cock, right over the edge. Just touching Franks body, any place on that body sent waves of lust through him. All those waves ending up in his throbing erection. Franks reactin to his touchs and kisses only fuled it. Frank's kisses and touchs were just like adding oil to the fire. His groin was ablaze and so was his mind. It seemed that every sexual thing they did over then next 36 hours just added to it. He was a gonner, head over heals in lust and physical love for this boy. He found that long saught after home for his cock, in Frank's ass. Frank had never fucked before and Jerad had never fucked a boy before. Laying on the bed giving oral pleasue to each other, Frank was overwhelmed by Jerad's smell. The taste of his ejaculate was like a drug Frank want more, he wanted it all and he wanted it now. Jerad was taken too. All he could think about while sucking Frank was, "I'd drink a galion of his pee for one butt fuck." His fingers quickly found Frank's anus and the rest is history. Now Kevin had two assiatants. He was beginning to wounder if he was missing out on something. In San Deigo he hooked up with one of the female models in JPT's stable and she quickly dispelled that thought. Kevin would gladly crawl over glass shards just to kiss her pussy. No glass, no pain, just pleasure was between her slim and shapley legs. .......................... On the run up to the holiday season and for the next month after it, John found himself in constant motion. Mostly he found himself in what he considered an uncomfortable position. He was not behind the camera to the extent he had been before. Mostly he was directing crews and explaining his artistic or creative vision to them. He was spending way to much time manageing. We already know that John was not above overextending himself. He needed to master the ability to deligate. John had worked with Kevin and Myron long enough to feel comfortable letting them do their jobs without his interference. He was the CEO and once policy or direction was set knew he could trust them to make it happen. His experineced technicions knew what he wanted and how to procude those results. It was his new group of photographer/technicions that he did not yet trust. Kevin had been correct in his prediction about the teen magazines. Several were after his story and all were out in force with the popartizi. Much to Cory's dismay it seemed he was followed everywhear he went. Much to the dismay of the pop's, as he called them, Jerad and a couple of his assiciates kept them well at bay. John had an idea. He had Cory post their efforts on his fan site. Cory told his fans that several magazines were seeking exclusive interviews with him. He did not like the idea of giving an exclusive to any one but he would do what his fans wanted him to do. He went on to name the magazines and asked his readers to vote. The questions were: should he give interviews to magazines, should they be exclusiev, which magazines should he grant them to. He would collect the vote for two weeks and publish the results. The magazines did not like this one bit. John told them flat out, it was that way or no way. One of the magazines withdraw their request, claiming that John was stifuling free press. William quickly wrote them a letter, saying in part: "that was their right and he failed to see how refusing an exclusive interview was stifuling freedom in any way." He asked what was more free and domoctatic then the vote being held by the fan club. He also reminded them, while Cory may be a cleberity none of his school mates and friends, all minors or members of the general public were and Cory was as protective of their privacy as he was of his own. That was a, not so vailed threat and expected the magazine to complain editoraly about it. The fashion press got wind of this and John was most happy to interview with them. They asked him all the usual questons and got around to Cory almost as an afterthought. John thought that was funny. He just explained the situation and reminded them and the readers, Cory's image was copywrithted and JTP and Cory's Friends were not about to have his image used for any unauthorized purposes. "You people know the drill. If you want to run pictures of my fashion models you just ask and we provide them. You have done that in the past and I have always made it happen. That's the nature of our buiness. Sending poparotzi to stalk a 14 year old and his school mates is something else, isn't it?" He passed them copies of William's letter. "Is that why Cory is surounded by body guards," one asked? "Yes and no. Cory has body guards, just like any other person who's managment feels needs protection. Your managing editor and several others in your company have them. Cory's parents are part of his managment. Would you like to meet him?" Foolish queston. John asked Cory into the conference room. Being fashion people they were most interested in the Cory line of clothling and quicly settled in on that topic. Having the designer and two of the models in the same room was a big bones. John figured it was a big bonus too. Lots of free advertising. They asked all the usual question. How the line came about. How Cory got into modeling and things like that. Their photographer asked if he could take a few pictures of John and Cory. They agreed and he moved around to get a good angle. Cory just amaized John and the photographer, pointing out he would have better light if he moved a little to right. That confirmed what they had been told about him being an assistant photographer first and a model second. He not only looked good, has good camera presence but knows what his was about technicaly. John was never quite sure how much Cory was learning but he now knew it was quite a bit. The vote closed. It was 7341 total. The results were clear, yes he should be interviewed. No, it is should not be exclusive and all the named magazines were about even, with the one that withdrew slightly behind but not by more then 1.5 %. The results were published and Cory announced a press conference in two week's time. The named magazines were all invited. John and Kevin came up with an idea. They asked all the magazines to present as many questions as they wished on slips of paper, all exactly the same size. The slips would be placed in a box and drawn, he would answer 50 of them. Duplicates would be skipped. William would moderate and rule on stuff if needed. Three of the four came. Cory put his pocket recorder on the table and invited the others to do the same. He drew the first queston and read it out. Stating the name of the magazine. These were a true mixed bag of questions from the very mundane to quite personal stuff. Most of he personal things he refused to answer. A couple Will would not let him answer. Many were obvious duplicates. Mostly it was the usual kind of stuff, the type of music he liked, his favorite movies and books, sports and things like that. Some asked how he got along with the other models and wanted to know how true and accurate his blog was. In all he answered 74 different questions. Lots of variety so the magazines had more then enought to choose from, get the message across and still be different. Cory made several statements in responce to questions that he hoped all the interviews would include. The most important one was his responce to the compitetion that was now coming on line. "I am not concerned you know. I think it's good. Everyone must remember this is not just about me. It is mostly about my friends. I am just the common thread that runs through. My model friends are the true stars. I have the privlidge of going to all these wonderful places and meeting all these wondeful people. It is their talent and skills that are being show cased at Cory's Friends, I'm just a bit player." He pointed to himself. "Cory is just me and I would be a completely unknown camera assistant, without those other models. I'm told by everyone I have camera presence and people do seem to like me or want to be seen with me. That, I am afraid, would wear thin quickly. Any popularity I have is largely due to the company I keep. If more models are seen in more places and can find work because of that compition, then I say bring it on. With what, six billion people on the planet, plenty of potential fans to go around." "I think we are different not because we try to be, as much as we try and present ourselves and our work, always with our fans in mind. Cory's Friends is not any one of us but all of us. It is a real team effort. I'm the face and John is the quarterback and everyone else is a player or coach." "I don't know the answer to that. John can you answer." "Sure Cory, I can tell you that every model featured on Cory's Friends is paid industry standard fees and recieves a share of the profet once production costs are recovered." He looked at his papers. "On average the production costs are recovered within two months of the model's apperance. Now Cory's Friends has only been in operation for 5 months." "No, I am just Cory Wright, age 14. What you see is what you get. I'm no different then any other teenager. I'm exploring the world and trying to find what it is that defines me. The one thing I have learned so far, any differences between me and anyone else is very superficial. Inside we are all very much the same. My public face is not very different from my private face. I am me, just me, I can't be anyone else and no one can be me. Some times people with some kind of celeberty play a part, like an actor. I can't do that. Acting is not in me. I even have trouble putting on a serious face long enough for John to take a picture." John nodded agreement. "I think that needs to be put into context. We were discussing in our social studies class, different things that different people thought dispicable in society. I said that it is dispicable some children are forced to beg for food. I thought that more dispicable then some of the other things mentioned. Other students had other ideas." William came in, "I don't think this is a very fruitful line of discussion for this forum. I suspect that subject is something best left off your agendas. You can note that Cory feels strongly about child poverty and the need for some to beg inorder to survive. Cory's Fan Club is doing something about it." "I don't think you adults get it. Friends don't use guilt to motivate friends. I can't do that. I don't think I have all that much influence either. If I suggest something to my fans and they think it reasonable or correct or just or whatever they may do it. If not they won't. Just because I think something, does not mean others will agree or even should agree. There is no room in friendshp for bigoty or pressure. Friends are accepted as presented. Friendship is both given and received with no obligation or other expectation. Friendship that is conditional is not real. It is only an illusion. That's why the charety thing by the Fan Club. I don't know if that will be successful. I would like it to be but who knows. You do what you can do. That effort has not stopped people from sending stuff but it has slowed it way down. I think it will help in the long run, not because I suggested it but because it is the right thing to do. More important, it is the right thing, not because I said or think so but because those people figured it out for themselves. We kids are a lot smarter then you adults give us credit for and remember over half of my fans are adults." ............................................ Jonathan took advantage of Cory's absence to add stock shots into his catalogue. He spent a number of hours just wandering around the city and adjacent rural ares just looking for interesting images. He missed the company of his young friend and Jerad. For the holiday period right up to New Year's eve the light was excellent and he was able to gather a number of high quality images. John had a wonderful time with his parents and the remainder of the family, not to mention a great gift opening at Myron's. His time at Mat's resort and the other members of the Pinal society he met was just great too. Getting to northern Wisconsin appeared to be a hassle but it turned out not to be the case. In Chicago they made a smooth transition from O'Hare to Midway. From Midway they took a small privet jet to northern Wis. were met by a resort van. Once there everything was provide, it was first class and boy friendly. Very boy friendly. John was quite surprised when he learned just how boy friendly. These lads were latterly princes and the man were only needed to pay the bills and keep them sexually satisfied. The place had a wonderful New Year's Eve party for everyone with entertainment and a sumptuous dinner. For the next several days they all enjoyed winter sports, cross country skiing, ice skating, snow mobiles, snow shoes, ice fishing and so on. The place had a huge pool and sauna/sports complex. The TV's even had adult youth porn and a gift shop that made most large department stores envious. The only thing not in stock were the Cory shorts, which would not be shipped for some weeks. William, Jerad and John were simply amazed at all the great looking boys, dressed in nothing or almost nothing once inside and out of the winter. John took many pictures of everyone but this is one place Cory would not be putting on his blog. Many of the boys recognized him and a number asked for his autograph. Mat assured him and the others that no boy would break his code of silence. It was obvious to the more experienced the John, William and Jerad were new at the business of being a boy's man. Mat had come with his brother Andy, several friends and their boys, It only took minutes for Cory, Ed and Frank to feel right at home with experienced and older guides. Jerad and Frank seemed most intent, at least for the first couple of days, on watching all the Man/boy and Young man and boy/boy porn they could. John figured they were on a steep learning curve. No one needs to teach males to fuck. What they needed to learn was how to make that fucking as satisfactory to both as possible. John sized up the place as a filming location and he talked with Mat about the school project again. Jared and Frank learned a lot about how to relate to each other while at the resort. Most of it by observation. Before they departed the three men had signed up for memberships. This was a true boy lover's paradise and a true boy's principality. Jared and Frank did not participate in any of the games that involved sharing each other with others. Jerad was to much in love with his boy and Frank to shy and afraid of loosing his new man. The others were more willing and enjoyed these fantasy sharing games with all the more experienced. Both William and Jerad purchased girls undies from the gift store to honor their boys and play fantasy games in private. Ed is younger and a sissy boy being trained to act more normally in public. Frank was a normal acting boy that looked like a girl and who Jared was, even if unconchiously, being trained to be a sissy boy in private. Jerad like the dependent type. He liked the feeling of being Frank's hero. He liked Frank playing the role of weakling and needing him. He liked that Frank wanted to be a bottom to be loved, kissed and fondled, cuddled and fucked. He liked his lover to be dependent on him for everything. That is his personality. He is a control freak. Frank just loved Jerad's hand moving across his butt and his fingers playing with his boyhood. He relished Frank's kisses on his lips and just about anyplace else Jerad placed them. More then anything he loved to feel Jerad's lips on his penis and scrotum. Jerad's tongue teasing and forcing it's way into his anus. .......................... John had been inspired while in Wisconsin. It was seeing all that wondrous boy flesh, so immodestly displayed, triggered some latent talent within. He, along with everyone else, had thought his clothing inspiration was a one time wonder. Not so, as they found out., John could not get all those nicely shaped bubble butts and male packages our of his mind. His new creative venture should not have surprised himself or any else that knew he intimately. It did. John designed, in his mind, a whole line of boy and girl undies, swim suits and jock straps. He searched out the most appropriate fabrics for his creations. Devised structures that would be comfortable, serviceable, sexy and he hoped affordable. He often mixed fabrics together and designed specificity for different sports and activities. He used his models and the boys for measurements and testing of his prototypes. This was all costing quite a bit. Cory took over the selection of colors and patterns. If these were to have his and John's names on them he wanted some input. For the jocks and sports briefs Cory insisted designes that were highly sports related. For the female designs John's sisters, nieces, Brenda and a few of their friends became the advisers. Kevin suggested they use a modification of Cory's Logo and call the product line Cuttler and Wright's Imagination series. This would mean a slight adjustment in the marketing of the shorts and slacks but being so early in the process something quite manageable. John would use Cory, Frank and Ed for his boy model photographs for the men he wanted Dennis, one of his regular models with the best body and best ass he could think of. The females would come from Leah's stable. Myron and Kevin were receiving strong inquiries from several big names in textile marketing. When they mentioned other clothing possibilities several went silent and several became more interested. John and Kevin approached several of JTP's major clients. Kevin wanted to assure them JTP was not attempting to cut into their business and did not want to become sidetracked into the manufacturing and marketing/advertising side, except for the modeling and photographic work. Myron was just a bit concerned that so much money was being invested in the prototypes with no business plan, cost and marketing analysis being done. John and Cory figured if they liked them and found them comfortable so would others. Lots of others. ................................ Frank came running into Marcel's announcing four high school boys were beating up someone in the park across the street. Jerad, John and Cory took off. Frank saw this happening as he walked down the street, he called 911. He picked up John's camera and along with Marcel followed our heros out the the door. The light was not to good but the camera was set to auto, the pop-up flash helped and he just started snapping pictures. The four had someone down on the ground and were now kicking him. Jerad took on two at once with Cory and John right behind him. The sirens were screaming as the Cory, using his hands and feet began teaching one football player sized fellow what a fair fight was all about. Jerad quickly subdued his two only braking a few bones. John bloodied his opponent's nose and knocked the wind out of him, finishing by placing his foot on the his neck and daring him to even move. While Frank kept snapping Marcel strode up and knelt down to comfort the boy laying on the ground. Marcel recognized the young man as one of the local male escort/prostitutes. He did not know the fellow's name. The cops and paramedics took several loads to the hospital while the others got statements from Frank, Cory, John, Jerad and Marcel. The press was holding court outside the restraint. John put the pictures on a memory stick for the cops. He would not let Cory or Frank answer any questions except to state in writing what they saw and did. If the cops or anyone else wanted to interview them with someone from William and Brenda's office present, they cold do that later. Marcel went out to meet the press along with the cops. He described what happened and the cops gave the names of those involved and who was being charged with what. The press was right on the story, several calling it a hate crime. Since Cory and Frank are minors their names were not given as witnesses. The press was being incredulous about the incident since the victim was reported as a local male prostitute. When asked all three men just responded, "that is not the issue here what is the issue is that someone was attacked by four others and beaten, i.e. assaulted. That that person's gender, profession, sexual orientation, religion or anything else is not the question but may have bearing on the severity of the punishment." A few days later Principal Cuttler was on a panel discussion with several political and religious community leaders. The topic was hate motivated violence. The politician attempted to blame the liberal school system. Principal Cuttler put him straight about the policies of the school system, reminding him that not only was this kind of behavior not tolerated but the incidents of any kind of violence in the schools was extremely low. I was when the religious leader, a Roman Catholic attempted to lay the blame at the feet of loose public morals that John Sr. laid him and his institution low. "It is not the morals of the society but the morals and mixed messages of the religious groups that is at fault, if fault is to be laid. It is the churches that call homosexuality and prostitution a sin. It is you that oppose giving equal rights to anyone you define as unworthy. It is you that willingly cast the first stone, hypocrisy abounds. It is you that refuse to take action when your own clergy break the laws and moral codes of society and those you profess, called sin. There is no room in society or your theology for bigotry. If any message needs to be made clear it is that. You pick and choose what professes your god to want, not based your interpretations of the scriptures. Any of my students have sufficient analytical skills to understand that. Just saying this is terrible and unacceptable, something you have all done tonight, is not sufficient. Not until we expunge all forms of discrimination from our laws will a consistent message be sent." Pointing to the politician. "Every time the victim has been mentioned by you, a label has been attached to him. You have said he is a homosexual and prostitute. Neither of these things have been established and are nothing but speculation. In addition, you use the term homosexual, in such a way as to imply a negative connotation. You may not know but I do, as he is one of my former students, he was an athlete and talented musician and is a licensed therpautic massuse. None of us have used those labels. Why is that, sir? Why is it that you insist, all of you insist, on using any label at all concerning the victim and none concerning the accused? These four are that and until found guilty of a crime, just that. I know them too. Two are high school drop outs and two students in my school. The two students are athletes. If we as a society, wish to stamp out bigotry, as we all say we do, then perhaps we, the leaders, need to make sure our hypocrisy is at least not visible." The news anchor thanked the panel and signed off. He quickly conferred with his staff to make sure John Senior's comments were considered in the story they were presenting. John and Jerad had to be stead fast, in not saying anything more until the incident came to trial. They would be witnesses as would Cory, Frank and Marcel. That did not stop the rumors and speculation from running wild. So far no one has come forward to confirm any of them. The accused have been released on bail and the victim is out of the hospital. Cory and John need some kind of a trial date as they should be traveling again, the school boy series is supposed to start in a few weeks. Officer Ott came to up date everyone on progress. The tail was beginning to get thick and convluted. The victim was on his way to meet with a new client. The name he was given proved to be falce. Ott did not comment on what kind of a client but the victim is a professional trainer and massuse. Ott did say the prostutution rumors appeared to be just that, as the vicitim had no record of solicitation and no one has come forward to confirm the accusitation. To do so credibatly would mean admiting having paid for those services. Marcel had, on good authroity, established that but he kept his mouth shut. It appeared that the four bad boys were acting on insturctions from some shadowly cult/neo-skinhead group that heated just about everybody. He figured the victim was set up. Marcel thought that was strange since the real street prostitution is all taking place on the other side of the park. There is a couple of blocks called the stroll. Most of the prostitutes work for one pimp or another and some kind of turf war is brewing. Most of the male prostitutes are Asian boys from Thyland. Ott thought most were illegal, most female and drugs were usually involved. Perhaps this was an effort to force the vicitm into one of the groups. Marcel said the word in the gay community was the same and that the Asians were trying to force others out of the trade not into their camp. That probably extended to anyone they thought might offer compitition. The strange part Ott indicated was the obvious connection between the Skin Heads and the Asians. It must have to do more with drugs and control, then idology. By using the white boys it kept their profile lower and would appear to offer protection for the indipendents. Jerad thought it was not safe for the victim or his clients until after the trial. The DA wanted to hold off for a while to see if the cops could establish something a little firmer. John figured Frank could come with them on the tirp which is highly secret. He asked about protection for the victim whose name is Art. "The young man does not seem to understand the danger he is in. The last thing he wants is cops handing around, it is unsettling for his clients, Ott thought. Marcel volenteered to go and have a chat with him if some kind of safe plan could be devised. After much discussion John had an idea but he would need to check on stuff. Jerad suggested that Marcel get Art to contact all of his clients, explain the situation and advise them he would not be available for about 6 months. He should also advise them against using the services of the Asians as they were being watched. John called Mat explaining the situation and Mat came up with a very secure place for Art to work in Chicago. When Marcel explained the world to Art he was not happy but understood the situation and agreed to the proposal. Art told his clients he needed a long recoperation time due to his injuries and passed on the warning to those that needed it. Just as Jerad thought, Art was being watched and followed. He was not sure by who or for what reason. Art could not last long without an income. The job offer in Chicago convinced him to go along with this skeam. Jerad had Art secure his client list in a bank vault. The cops picked him up and took him to the DA's office where he transfered to Jerad's SUV, in the underground garage. Jerad took him to the airport and he was gone. The cops staked out Art's apartment. A couple of the skin head's associates were caught burglerizing the place. That was enough to revoke the bail for the four and they were back in the clink for the duration. The skin heads were now down six and mad as hell. Art's poessions were put in storage and he gave up his apartment.
