"What's the situation you speak about, what's wrong and why can't we land
like the rest of the team?" Davey asked getting anxious and worried with
all this talk.

The agent took his time answering, obviously summing up whether he should
tell the boys or not, "Well it appears the Russian Police have a warrant
for your arrest."

They all sat around in the aircraft with the secret service surrounding the
two boys on what appeared to be a Mexican standoff. The one in charge got a
message over his earpiece and began laughing with all the others joining
in, "What's happening now?" Davey demanded to know.

The man in charge still laughing explained, "The Russians are now saying
they made a mistake thinking you were someone else and you are free to
land. The thing is that they are determined to put you off your game young
man so that you don't win.  You are the biggest threat to their world
domination in the field of gymnastics that they have had for many years."

Davey and Johnny just looked at each other and shrugged their
shoulders. More instructions came over the man's earpiece and after he had
acknowledged it he again spoke to the two boys, "We are a little bit
worried for your safety, so for the time being leading up to the gymnastics
championships you will be staying in the American embassy and not in the
athlete village with the rest of the team."

Again Davey and Johnny took all this in their stride but then a smile
formed on Davey's face as he realized they would be together and not
separated. They gathered their hand luggage and prepared to leave the
aircraft.  As they moved towards the entrance of the plane the captain and
his co-pilot both extended their hands with the captain saying, "Give em
hell Davey, show them that they can be beaten and remember the whole of
America is with you all the way."

Davey thanked them both saying that he would as always do his best as they
walked down the steps onto the tarmac. A black limousine was waiting at the
bottom of the stairs and they were ushered into the back and away from the
airport. The drive through the streets of Moscow kept the two boys
excitedly occupied on the way to the embassy, which was a grand looking old
building surrounded by a massive concrete wall.

They were driven through wrought iron gates with US marines stationed at
them and then up to the grand front door were the head of the US Gymnastics
team was waiting for them along with several other gents dressed in dark
suits. As they emerged from the vehicle they walked up the steps to meet
him and the others assembled there. Smiling, the head of their team said,
"Davey, Johnny, I am sorry about the drama at the airport but the Russians
are stopping at nothing to get you off your game so that you don't steal
their glory at the games."

He then went on to introduce the US Ambassador and several other people
before a young cute looking guy was brought forward and the introductions
were made, "This is Ian Bryce an undersecretary who will be responsible for
you and will look after you here at the embassy." They shook hands and Ian
went to stand by their side as more instructions were given, "Each morning
you will be driven to our training quarters to spend the day with the rest
of the team and then you will be brought back here every evening.

You will have security everywhere you go who will make sure you come to no
harm.  Just remember that you must never go anywhere without an escort, not
even to the bathroom. I know this is an inconvenience and more importantly
I hope this doesn't put you off your game. While this is putting a lot of
pressure onto your shoulders from what I have seen in the past this won't
deter you in any way shape or form."

With that little pep talk out of the way everyone dispersed.  Ian then took
them inside into the foyer which was massive with a giant chandelier
hanging in the center and a grand staircase leading upstairs.  While they
were walking up stairs to their room Ian explained the layout of the place
and also explained that the ambassador wanted them to take their meals with
him and his family.

When they arrived at their room and went inside both boys couldn't get over
the luxury of the place with a canopied four poster bed the centerpiece of
the room. Off to one side was a walk in closet and next to that another
door leading to an en-suite bathroom. Ian explained, "We bought this place
a few years back from a Russian prince and its old world charm and luxury
is wonderful."

He left the boys to settle down and unpack suggesting they get some rest to
get over the jet lag and telling them that dinner was at seven. Just as he
was leaving he turned and reminded them not to spend too much time at the
windows because, "Who knows what these Russians will get up to."

They did as suggested and unpacked before laying down on the bed together,
cuddling and kissing before falling asleep. It was getting dark when there
was a knock on the door followed by a voice telling them it was six o'clock
and dinner was in an hour. Sleepily they got out of bed with both heading
for the bathroom.  While they showered together nothing overly sexy
happened between them.  Within thirty minutes they were ready having
dressed smart but of course for young teens casual as well.

Leaving their room they had no idea where to go but guessed the dining room
would be downstairs. They made their way to the grand staircase to be met
by Ian who with nods of approval regarding their dress walked down stairs
with them explaining as he went, "The Ambassador and his wife are lovely
people who have two teenage children about your ages. A boy Paul and a girl
Janet both of whom are keen to meet you."

By the time he had finished talking they had arrived downstairs at large
double doors which he opened with a flourish.  Standing to one side for
them to enter the dining room which would seat fifty or sixty no
trouble. Standing with a glass of wine in their hands were the Ambassador
and his wife who greeted them like long lost relatives. Standing just
behind them was the cutest looking guy they had ever seen with sparkling
blue eyes, golden curls and alongside him was a girl a bit younger than
they were.  Again blonde but with glasses and looking maybe because of the
plain floral dress she had on a bit what Johnny referred to after as
`frumpy'. They were introduced as Paul and Janet.

They stood around for a few minutes making polite conversation with the
ambassador congratulating Davey on his achievements so far and wishing him
luck here in Moscow, "It's a pity you won't be allowed to do any
sightseeing because Moscow is an incredible place with some beautiful
buildings.  I know Paul would have loved to have taken you around to show
you some of the sites, but sadly the Russians are being a bit silly so we
have to keep you under wraps as our guests, which we are delighted to do."

Just then a servant announced that dinner was served and they made their
way to the big table set with silverware and candelabras. All this was a
bit daunting to the two boys who had no idea what all the cutlery was for
until Paul whispered, "Just follow what I do." Once seated soup was served
and a servant came around with wine which they boys refused asking for
water instead.

They were surprised that both of the teenage children had wine, both
thinking they were far too young to be drinking. Following the soup, fish
was served which was delicious and Davey thought he could have done with a
second helping of that. The main course was roast beef with three or four
vegetables served on the side.  Both boys realized that they were quite
hungry and after consuming both the fish and roast beef they asked the
servant who served them for extra to be placed on their plates.

Dinner conversation was general and the boys found out that the family had
been in Moscow for almost four years now and that his term as ambassador
had another few months to go.  Then it would be back to Washington, more
than likely with Paul and Janet heading off to university.  Dessert was
strawberries and cream which they were told had been flown in from the
states as a special treat.

Once dinner was over they moved into another room where a big roaring log
fire was burning in the ornate marble fireplace and while the adults drank
coffee and brandy the boys had a soda each as a treat. Davey felt quite
relaxed and as he and Johnny sat side by side on a leather sofa they found
themselves talking quite openly about their lives. Davey found himself
talking about how he came to be in El Paso and his adoption, also how he
came to meet and fall in love with Johnny.

Both boys as they talked with the ambassador and his wife found them to be
wonderful caring people with even a hint of tears in their eyes when Davey
spoke about his past life. They were also interested in the chain of Karate
schools they were looking at establishing throughout the states. Admiring
that two young guys barely into their teens had such a wonderful outlook on
life.

After a while the jet lag, the warm log fire and the homely atmosphere
began to catch up with them.  They both felt their eyelids beginning to
droop so they excused themselves thanking them for a wonderful evening
before heading upstairs for bed. The minute they left the room Ian was
waiting for them to escort them upstairs and they began to realize that
they were not allowed to be alone in the house.

Ian left them at the bedroom door telling them that breakfast would be
served at seven and at seven thirty a car would take them to the training
facility. There was three days to go before the world championship
began. Once in bed while both boys wanted to make love sleep overtook them
before they could get past first base.

They had set the clock in their room for six the next morning.  With both
of them being disciplined in rising early to go for a run before breakfast
they were out of bed straight away into a hot shower because the room was
quite chilly.  They then were dressed for breakfast thirty minutes
early. They left their room and headed downstairs without meeting a soul
and not being sure which way to go.  They opened a door and were surprised
to see a vast bank of computers with men and women in army uniforms sitting
at them. Two uniformed marines appeared from nowhere taking them by the
hand and ushered them out of the room before they could see much of what
was going on.

They waited with them at the bottom of the staircase until Ian came rushing
down to take them into what he called the breakfast room, "You mustn't go
anywhere without having someone with you because certain parts of the
embassy are off limits and top secret." He guided them to a buffet table
full of all kinds of breakfast foods and they were invited to help
themselves.  They then were to wait there until he came back to take them
to their car.

Both boys ate far too much breakfast knowing they would pay for it later
when they began training but everything looked so good.  Halfway through
eating they were joined by Paul who informed them that he had been given
permission to go with them and watch the team training. "Not that I'm the
athletic type although I wish sometimes I was." He said.  Looking
apprehensive he then quietly said, "Is it all right if I let you two in on
a secret?" Both boys nodded wondering what was coming next, "I'm gay just
like you two guys, except my parents nor my sister know and I'm too scared
to come out to them. I have a Russian boyfriend who I love dearly and we go
to the same school here in Moscow but we have to be so careful because it
is against the law in Russia right now.  If the authorities found out the
scandal between the two countries would cause an international incident and
more than likely cost my father his job." Both boys stared in amazement at
the revelation which had just been relayed to them.  Finally Davey spoke,
"Paul your secret is safe with us and we feel for you being in love in what
is an impossible situation, so please be very careful."

Paul then went on, "But I haven't told you the worst of it yet. He is also
one of the country's top athletes and will be competing against you
Davey. He told me that he hasn't got a hope in hell of winning against you,
in fact he told me you were the best in the world right now.  He also told
me that the Russian team is determined to put out as many obstacles in your
way as they can to try and make sure you don't win.

They continued to finish off their breakfast until Ian came in to tell them
that their car was waiting.  All three of them along with two secret
service guys that all looked the same with crew cuts, black suits, over six
feet tall and with an earpiece. Once in the car they set off for the thirty
minute or so ride and the boys noticed that cars with diplomatic plates
were in front and behind.

At the training area they were met by Jonathon and the head of coaching.
Davey introduced them to Paul who once the introductions had been made said
that the Russians need to be kept guessing right up to the end, "because
believe me they are watching your every move including having a lip reader
right now trying to work out what I'm saying, so please be careful what you
say even if you think no one is around. "

Davey and Johnny nodded before heading off with Jonathon to warm up.  Once
warmed up they ran around the perimeter for a couple of hours before Davey
spent a further couple of hours working on all his routines, but not the
real ones. Paul came back in after lunch with a young guy about the same
age as him and both of them marveled at the beauty of this young man. He
had blonde hair and blue eyes and was very fair for a Russian.  Paul later
explained that his mother was Norwegian. Paul introduced him as Slavek who
smiled the most gorgeous smile while extending his hand for Davey and then
Johnny to shake.

In halting English he welcomed them before saying in a quiet voice, "I have
watched videos of your performances and admire your style and technique and
wish I was close to being as good as you." He looked a bit uncertain on
what to say next but appeared to make up his mind saying, "While it is
difficult for us to be friends here I hope we can all four spend some time
together in Madrid."

The boys were surprised at this but Davey said that he would be delighted
and was also happy that Paul would be in Madrid as well.  If they could
help to bring them all together they would be more than happy. He said this
behind his hand pretending to cough at the same time. Later he confided to
Johnny that he was getting used to this cloak and dagger stuff.

Training continued throughout the day as usual and was followed by a team
meeting. The head coach pointed out that someone was needed to carry the
flag in the opening ceremony and he asked for suggestions.  The only name
all the athletes put forward was Davey's. This caused much discussion
between the coaches and security before the head coach announced, "Davey is
one of the first competitors, he is up first thing the next morning so we
all think he should be rested. So who is your second choice?"

Again the yell went up for Davey.  After a lot more discussion which this
time included Davey who was asked if he minded carrying the flag and would
he be ready the next morning for the competition, "No problem and I would
be honored to carry the flag for my country." Was his loud reply which
brought forth cheers and applause from his fellow team mates.

Once the meeting was over it was back in the black car with the dark tinted
windows and off to the embassy. Paul was more excited than Davey by the
fact that he was going to carry the flag at the opening, "Dad will be there
representing the President who as you may be aware is on the campaign trail
and looks like he is being beaten.  So don't forget to wave as you walk
past the American seats and dip the flag to show we are proud to be there."
Davey smiling promised that he would.  At dinner that night with the
Ambassador all Paul could talk about was Davey carrying the flag.

Later that night in the comfort of their own room Johnny remarked how proud
he was that Davey was chosen, but Davey in his calm smiling way just nodded
saying that was the least he could do. They began to cuddle and kiss on the
giant four poster bed until Johnny began to giggle, "What's so funny?"
Davey asked, "Well I wonder if this is like the James Bond Movies with Sean
Connery where they bugged his room.  More importantly does it have a
camera?"

Davey joined him in the laughter before taking his lover back into his arms
whispering in his ear, "Just in case it is let's give them something to
watch shall we?" Johnny's nod was all that was needed for both of them to
get naked and a full on love making session followed during which these two
very fit athletes demonstrated their love making techniques which most
Russians would more than likely never have seen before.

Finally they headed for the shower washing all the love juice from each
other before drying off and heading back to bed.  Falling into a deep sleep
with neither of them moving very much until Ian was banging on the door
telling them if they didn't hurry they would miss breakfast. They hurried
up and raced downstairs to find Paul and his parents sitting down eating
and they had to rush the meal down before Ian came in to tell them the car
was waiting.

The next couple of days training was pretty much the same as the first and
soon it was time to get ready for the opening ceremony. While he tried to
appear calm Davey was bubbling with excitement inside and looked as did all
the team resplendent in their dress uniform of slacks, shirt, ties and
blazers. The team coach presented Davey with the flag which was about six
times bigger than he was and he was asked if he wanted a holster to carry
it in because of the size and weight, "No, because that way I can't wave it
around in the Russians faces." He told them.

The stadium was packed to capacity as the entertainment began prior to the
entry of the competing nations. With most of the USA team behind him Davey
waited patiently for his cue to begin moving into the huge stadium. Johnny
was further back in the lineup with the other coaches and officials. While
they couldn't actually see the live entertainment they could watch it on
one of the giant television screens and Davey marveled at the Russian
dancers, especially the Cossacks with their flashing swords and nimble
feet.

Soon it was time for the athletes to enter and because each country was
listed alphabetically the United States was a long way down on the
list. All too soon it was their turn to enter with Davey picking up the
stars and stripes waving it for all the crowd to see just how proud this
fourteen year old was to be leading his fellow team mates into the
arena. When the crowd realized who was carrying the flag the cheers almost
lifted the roof showing that Davey was popular not only with his fellow
countrymen but the rest of the world including ordinary Russian citizens.

Back in El Paso every TV was tuned to the channel bringing the opening
ceremony and while none of his family were there to support him they were
all cheering like crazy. The guys in the hostel had all gone to bed early
and were woken up by Sally and her staff just before the telecast began so
that they could make their way downstairs to the dining room where giant TV
screens had been set up for all to watch the event. The fact that it was
the middle of the night made no difference.  Every single one in the hostel
was there drinking hot chocolate and cheering on their idol who was proudly
carrying the flag for his country.

Davey's and Johnny's families had gathered in one house to watch their
children and tears were flowing the minute Davey proudly stepped into the
spotlight waving the flag and smiling. His adopted mother and Johnny's mom
clung to each other, so proud of their siblings and waiting for Johnny to
come out so they could wave and cheer him on as well.

They had heard little news from Moscow since the standoff at the airport
with the boys only being able to talk to them a couple of times on the
phone and then only briefly. They didn't fully understand why they were in
the Embassy and not staying with everyone else in the village but assumed
it was for the boys own good.

As Davey approached the American delegation in the stands he spotted the
Ambassador and his family.  They all stood placing their hand across their
hearts as Davey smiled, waved and dipped the flag in salute. He noticed
Paul standing next to his father cheering and applauding as he continued on
his way around the arena.

Finally he was directed to join the other flag bearers standing around the
dais as the last of the competitors made their way around.  Russia being
the host nation was the last to enter and Davey spotted Paul's boyfriend as
he marched around giving Davey a sly smile as he passed by.

Following this was the taking of the oath by an athlete and an official on
behalf of all those assembled and competing. This was followed by a couple
of speeches of welcome by the Mayor of Moscow and the head of the world
gymnastics federation. After that there was more entertainment that was
more suited for the young athletes assembled. This was made up mainly by
Russian pop stars and while the music was good Davey was getting tired.  He
didn't have to wait long before the flag was taken off him and placed in
position with all the other flags and he was able to go and find Johnny who
suggested they head for the embassy.

As always Ian and the security were waiting for them and they were whisked
away arriving almost at the same time as the Ambassador who greeted them
with open arms before arranging for hot chocolate to be served in their
bedroom. Both boys being tired and with a full day of competition waiting
for them tomorrow finished their drink and headed into bed cuddling and
kissing but that was a far as it went before they fell asleep.

While Davey was feeling a bit weary the next morning in his mind he was all
ready for the competition to begin. His first event the rings was scheduled
for about ten so he had plenty of time to warm up and then spend time
meditating and preparing his mind and body for the event.

In international competition there are seven judges from different
competing countries who mark each event out of ten.  Being the first in his
section Davey had to set the benchmark for the others following him. Once
again he excelled himself in this is favorite event and the crowd roared
when he made a perfect landing after setting himself a very difficult
routine. Again judges take into account the amount of difficulty each
entrant sets himself and marks accordingly.

Following congratulations from Jonathon and Johnny, Davey went back to sit
and wait for his marks. When they finally came up the whole stadium was in
an uproar. The American judge gave him nine point five and the five other
judges gave him nine point two while the Russian judge gave him only seven
point five the lowest mark he could possibly give for the difficulty
parameters.

Even the Russian spectators were booing and it almost looked like a riot
was going to take place. The American team captain and coach immediately
lodged a protest and the competition was halted while their protest was
looked into. With that mark Davey had little or no chance of being in the
medal contentions if the mark was allowed to stand.

The judge was questioned and gave his opinion and after much deliberation
the mark was allowed to stand. This time the athletes themselves took over
with those following Davey including the Russians refusing to continue and
all withdrawing from the event. No amount of threatening from their coaches
or team captains could persuade them to change their minds and they all sat
down on the floor of the podium refusing to move.

This protest included all the Soviet bloc gymnasts, the Chinese, along with
all the European countries. The whole world championships ground to a halt
as others taking part in different events joined the protest.  Davey just
calmly sat on his chair watching events unfold looking as if he didn't have
a care in the world.

Finally the announcer came on the public address system informing everyone
that the Russian judge had been dismissed and had been replaced by a judge
from China but Davey would have to begin his routine again.  While everyone
went back to where they should be Davey calmly climbed up ready to begin
his routine again. This brought forth loud cheers and a standing ovation
from the capacity crowd.

As soon as they became quiet Davey raised his hand to show that he was
ready and when the buzzer went off he was hoisted up by Jonathon to the
rings to begin his routine for the second time in an hour. The whole arena
became silent as he went through his routine and once again he performed
perfectly.  After acknowledging the cheers of the crowd he went back to his
seat to wait for the results from the judges.

He didn't have long to wait this time as the American judge this time gave
him nine point nine as surprisingly enough did the Chinese judge while the
other five gave him on average nine point five. It was obvious that Davey
had won over the hearts of the majority of the Russian crowd who gave him a
standing ovation and Paul's Russian boyfriend, Slavek was the first to come
over and congratulate him on his great marks.

The only other event he had that day was the parallel bars and that wasn't
until the afternoon.  So he was taken to the American section of the
village where he was given a rub down and then allowed to rest until it was
time to go back to the arena. Johnny stayed with him and the armed security
was outside the door all the time.  Davey closed his eyes and dozed for a
while with Johnny by his side.  While both of them dearly wanted to kiss
and cuddle each other they couldn't just in case the room was bugged. While
the Americans had all the rooms swept for bugs and some where found, they
were sure they were being replaced all the time.

When he did wake Davey whispered in Johnny's ear, "I love you." And he got
a similar reply back. The team's masseur knocked on the door suggesting
that he work on Davey before he goes back into the arena. Davey was also
feeling a bit hungry so he had a salad, a sandwich and some juice before
having his muscles loosened up.  Then it was time to go back into the
arena.

The minute he stepped inside the stadium the TV cameras picked him up
showing him on the giant screens throughout the stadium.  The crowd were on
their feet applauding and cheering him in a variety of different
languages. He waved once to acknowledge them before heading for his seat to
wait to be called. It was obvious that this young kid from El Paso, Texas,
USA had captured and won the hearts of the world.

He began his meditation with Johnny keeping everyone away until he was
finished and then it was time for his parallel bar routine. He performed
faultlessly and again the crowd roared as he waved before returning to his
seat. This time the judge's results were surprising. While the American
judge this time was conservative giving him a nine point five the Chinese
surprised everyone with a perfect ten score followed by a couple of the
other judges following suit. The overall points made it almost impossible
for him to be beaten.

Jonathon came rushing over to hug him crying his eyes out, caught up in the
emotion of the result and even Johnny threw caution to the wind and hugged
his lover. All this emotion and the response from the crowd echoed around
the world just about bringing the USA to a standstill. The American
television network covering the event whisked Davey away to their studio
for an interview.  While he was being questioned a call came through from
President Bush and not long after by his opponent in the presidential race
Bill Clinton.  Both of them congratulated him on being so calm through all
the controversy that morning and wishing him luck in his other two events.

Once the network had finished with him Ian appeared to tell the two boys
that a car was waiting to take them back to the embassy. They arrived back
in record time and as the boys entered the big foyer entrance a loud cheer
went up catching both of them by surprise. Just about every one employed in
the embassy which numbers hundreds was assembled in the foyer to welcome
Davey back. The Ambassador came forward to shake his hand while Paul his
son gave both of them a big hug.

Everyone wanted to shake his hand or pat him on his back but after a while
Ian called a halt and escorted the two up to their room so they could rest
before dinner. As soon as the door was closed the two young lovers began to
undress each other before making wild passionate love on the big four
poster bed.

All too soon they were called down for dinner and it was here they had a
big surprise waiting for them. Not only had the Ambassador put on a banquet
for Davey but a big TV screen connected to a laptop computer had been
erected in a corner of the room.  As soon as the pair of young lovers
walked through the door they were greeted by a loud `SURPRISE' and there on
the screen was their families and half the hostel boys by the look of it.

Thanks to Skype a big hook up had been arranged and the boys spent about
thirty minutes chatting to their parents and friends before it was
announced that dinner was served. After some tearful farewells they were
told that this would be a regular hook up for the next two days of
competition.  His adopted elder brother finished off the conversation by
saying, "Just wait till you get back to El Paso or should I say El
Daveyo. The whole city is so proud of you brother."

Davey looked at Johnny saying, "I wonder what that was all about?" Johnny
just shrugged his shoulders as they sat down to dinner with about twenty
invited guests. Paul whispered during the meal to Davey, "I have a big
surprise for you both at the end of the competition." He winked and nodded
at them before continuing and explaining that in two months' time his
father's time as Ambassador to Russia would be up and they were returning
to Washington, " I hope that we will be able to stay in touch Davey plus
before going home we are going to the Olympics in Madrid so we'll see you
there."

Both boys were happy and thrilled with that news because they had become
attached to Paul and his Russian boyfriend. By the time the meal was over
both boys were feeling very tired, after all they didn't get much rest when
they first got back so they excused themselves and headed for a shower and
bed.

Neither of them felt up to making love and they were content to lie in each
other's arms and to sleep.  All too soon Ian was knocking on their door and
they just had time to have a quick light breakfast before heading back to
the stadium. On the way today they got stuck in a traffic jam and security
traveling with them got quite worried because being stationary surrounded
by other vehicles made them vulnerable.

After several minutes of conversation on their radios the head man
muttered, "The fucking bastards, won't they ever give up?" Davey asked what
was wrong, "It appears the Russians have created this traffic jam by
deliberately causing an accident blocking the road." More talk over their
ear pieces followed and then Davey and Johnny were given instructions,
"When I say go I want the both of you to run like hell down that laneway
just ahead on the left, at the end of it will be another car to take you to
the stadium. A couple of us guys will be with you and two more will come
from the other end as well, understood?"

Both boys nervously nodded as security checked around the car before
yelling go. They both jumped out of the car and began running like crazy
and of course because they were so fit they soon left their two minders way
behind.  They were relieved to see two others waiting for them as they were
bundled into another car which raced away at top speed getting them to the
stadium just as the announcer was saying that Davey had only thirty minutes
to report for his next event the parallel bars.

Trying to look as casual as possible he reported in before doing his warm
ups and then meditation. Jonathan and the team coach both of whom were
aware of what had happened were furious but on advice from the secret
service were told not to make a formal complaint because it would be hard
to prove. Johnny said to Davey just before he entered the arena, "Are you
ok?"

Grinning Davey replied, "More determined than ever to show these Russian
cheats that they will never succeed." Johnny laughed slapping him on the
back as he walked up the steps to the bars raising his hand almost right
away to indicate that he was ready. Both Johnny and Jonathon had to admit
that his performance was brilliant to say the least and the capacity crowd
also sensed it. When he had finished his routine landing perfectly the
crowd went wild and began chanting, Davey, Davey, Davey as he waved and
made his way back to his seat.

The whole American team was lined up as he walked back congratulating him
slapping him on the back, all of them aware that history was being made at
this very moment. Finally the announcer called out the scores as the came
up on the board, "Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten that was the most anyone could
hear as the whole stadium erupted in cheers, stamping feet and yelling.
The fact that the other two judges also gave him ten was immaterial as his
team mates hoisted him on their shoulders running around the perimeter of
the stadium.

Needless to say the same cheers and jumping up and down were echoing
throughout the United States.  Every local TV channel covered what was
taking place even though it was the middle of the night in most parts of
the US.  Even though it was very late not many homes didn't have lights on
as this young kid from El Paso, Texas made gymnastic history in Moscow,
Russia.

Back at the hostel everyone was up and awake, cheering their friend every
step of the way. Sally was in tears clinging to Bethany knowing that this
talented young guy almost lost his life. She recalled within herself the
troubled life he had before she rescued him, losing her job at the same
time but happy that she got a great position at the hostel and met the love
of her life Bethany.

Davey's adopted parents were also thankful that they had been able to do
their bit in helping in the rebirth of a champion. Both Davey's and
Johnny's parents were crying and hugging each other, while in Austin the
Governor was congratulating his press secretary, Johnny's dad on the
wonderful job his son was doing with the love of his life and now world
gymnastic champion. Although he still had the pommel horse his weakest
event to go he could not be beaten.

Finally the stadium settled back down and it began to emerge that the US
team looked like going home with a maximum number of gold medals due to the
fact that everyone was being spurred on to bigger and better things by
Davey's achievements.  While the pommel horse event later that day was an
anticlimax with Davey finishing up with a silver he was delighted that
Paul's Russian boyfriend took out the gold, and he was the first one to run
up to him give him a hug and whisper, "Your boyfriend will be proud of
you."

The next day all that was left was the closing ceremony with a few of the
other events winding up in the morning. Seat scalpers outside the stadium
were making a fortune selling tickets at incredibly over inflated prices
and it was obvious the evening was going to be a sellout.

The host nation in two years' time was the USA so the final part of the
program was to be an all American one and boy was Davey in for a big
surprise...

To be continued....

Writer's corner:

It is amazing how wrapped up one can get with the characters they have
created. While writing this chapter I got caught up in the emotion of the
event. Crying and laughing all the way through as the tale unfolded. You
might call me a softy but I can see these people as real and alive in my
mind. Hard to explain but I believe most writers feel the same way I do.

Now to the chapter, sorry if the cliff hanger was a letdown especially to
all those who sent me mail on it hahaha. The Russians would stop at nothing
to stop Davey but none of their scare tactics worked in fact it worked in
his favor because he got spend every night in bed with his lover in luxury
instead of a lonely room at the athletes village.

Can you imagine how proud his family and friends must have felt when he
walked out carrying the US flag and what about that Russian judge? Talk
about sour grapes.

While the whole chapter was devoted to the games in Moscow we still had
glimpses of all night sessions back in EP around the TV sets and how proud
he made everyone feel who knew him.

Now we have the wait until the Olympic Games and will Davey be able to
maintain the high standard he has set for himself in Moscow, plus what is
the big surprise during the closing ceremony?

All this and more in the next chapter of Davey.

Please write me and let me know what you think of this and indeed all my
stories. Hugs Trevor

Editor's corner.

 Great chapter Trevor.  Like you I was laughing, crying etc. at the antics
of the Russians who I believe were actually like that in the past and could
still be that way in the future.  When it was the Soviet Bloc they cheated
like crazy from using drug enhancements, kids of the wrong age whose birth
certificates were altered to allow them to compete etc.  I love watching
them getting beat even today.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing what the big surprise is as I am
sure most of your readers are as well.

So for now, have an awesome day

Your editor
