Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 13:15:21 -0700 From: Trevor Johnson Subject: Living in a lie chapter 22 CHAPTER TWENTY TWO LIVING IN A LIE Written by Trevor Johnson Editor Richie Please note this story contains boy-to-boy sexual activity and if you don't enjoy this kind of story read no further. This story is completely fiction and any resemblance to anyone living or dead is wholly coincidental. This story may not be published, or reprinted, without the express permission of the author. He was most adamant so Martha changed the subject, talking in general about prison life. All too soon it was time to go and Fred gave him instructions on how to use Skype on the internet to try and contact Miles and Jordon telling them what happened, "They are sure to be wondering where I am and what happened to me." He told Martha. Little did he know that Keith, Miles' partner had found out and Miles had passed the word on to Jordon and Geoff and all of them were disgusted with Fred and really didn't want anything to do with him anymore. After several attempts Martha finally managed to open up Skype and called up Miles. After introducing himself he went on to explain that Fred was in prison. The reception he was getting was cool until Martha went to great lengths to explain that all Fred did was talk to young boys on the internet and was accused of sending inappropriate pictures and images to them, "Believe me Miles once he met me he stopped all that. Deep down he's a good man with a heart of gold and we are so very much on love." Miles was silent for a while taking everything in that Martha had said. He turned to Keith filling him in on what he had just been told, "Well first we must apologise because we had decided from now on to have nothing to do with Fred. What you have told us sheds a different light on things so please when next you see him apologise for us, also I will contact the boys at the farm and pass on the good news to them. In fact I think the sentence handed down was a bit harsh, but then he didn't learn when he was first prosecuted. I suppose the judge was sending out a warning to everyone that preying on young minds wasn't on. Anyway Martha, thank you for putting us in the picture and I'm sure Jordon and Geoff will be pleased that he isn't as bad as we were led to believe." Once they had finished talking to Martha they discussed the case together and Keith pointed out that Fred did break the law and who knows if it had an adverse effect on the minds of the boys he preyed on. They decided there and then to call up the boys and tell them what Martha had said. When they called they got some young kid called Nathan who told them proudly that he was the computer expert of the organization. Because they were now a network in their own right all incoming calls like this one came to him first but he will patch them through to Jordon and Geoff's room. Once Miles got through you could tell by the look on their faces how thrilled the two boys were to be chatting to their old friend Miles with Keith in the background. They told the boys all about their adopted son Jeremy and the tragic way it all came about and then they explained and passed on the information Martha had given them regarding Fred. Once Miles had finished Jordon was silent for a while before saying what he thought, "That's all well and good and we're happy that he didn't make physical contact with any of those kids but how many of them has he scarred for life by chatting them up and sending them porno pictures?" Miles after thinking about it was inclined to agree to some extent before Jordon continued, "Of course the fact that he stopped when he met Martha goes in his favour but we have kids here right now who are going to be traumatized most of their lives through some form of abuse. Let's face it Miles this is abuse, maybe not physical but mental. I will talk to Fred again when he gets out if he wants to but it won't be quite as friendly as it was before." Miles thought it best at this point to change the subject telling the boys that hopefully in a couple of months when Keith has some vacation time and school holidays are on that they hope to come and visit. That cheered Jordon and Geoff up no end and they both said they would be looking forward to that and meeting Jeremy as well. With that they broke off the connection after saying goodnight. Next morning as soon as breakfast was finished they all piled into George's four wheel drive for the trip over to the farm next door owned by Jeff Bennett. As they drove into the yard they were surprised that the place didn't look too bad. There was no livestock around except for a few chickens with wheat and barley being the crops that were being grown. Jeff came out to meet them and took them on the grand tour. All the barns and outhouses were in reasonable condition. The house had four bedrooms up stairs with a dining room, lounge and kitchen below. It was tidy and also in good condition. Damien looked at the others who all had satisfied looks on their faces before he turned to Jeff saying, "Well I think you've got yourself a deal if the bank will help us out with a mortgage. How soon do you want to leave?" "As soon as I can, I have my eye on a little place in Ontario on the edge of the lakes and close enough for me to keep in touch with my sons." "Well leave it to us and we'll see what we can do with the bank later today and hopefully have an answer fairly quickly." They all shook hands on the deal and as they headed back to the `home farm' that they now called home they all talked excitedly about the new property and what they could do with it. George commented that it would be best if they kept it as a crop growing farm and concentrate the stock on the home farm. Jordon came up with a brilliant idea as well. Because of his age and the fact that he hopes to keep Chris on, we could move Chris and his partner Ben into the house with perhaps a couple of the other boys. They could drive over every morning for breakfast and also have all their other meals with us. Of course we would have to make sure a couple of security guys were there all the time as well." Everyone agreed that was a good idea and by the time they arrived back home a lot of arranging had been made with Damien reminding them that they still needed the cash to buy the place. Just as they pulled into the yard in time for lunch Veronica came running out, Damien there's a guy on the phone who wants to talk to you. He won't give a name but he has some money to donate to the project." Damien followed her into the front office to take the call. Lunch was almost over when he finally walked into the dining room, with a big smile on his face. Putting his arms around Bentley he said, attention everybody." Once they were all quiet he continued, "I have just been on the phone talking to a gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous and he has graciously donated the money required to buy Jeff Bennett's farm." He waited for that to sink in before continuing, "He did tell me a little bit about why he's doing this but asked me to keep that information confidential. He is as I am speaking placing the funds needed into our account so I will arrange for our lawyer to draw up the papers to transfer the title of the farm to Jordon's gay refuge." Jordon looked at Geoff with all smiles and giving him a big hug before questioning Damien more and more about the donor. However, he refused to divulge any more information, not that he had very much anyway. His next job was to phone Jeff and tell him that he has a deal and the papers will be drawn up in a couple of days. Jennifer then had the next bit of news, "The school will be opening for business in one week. Letters have been sent to all the town kids whose intention is to attend and two teachers will be here in a couple of days to do the final setting up and prepare their classes." Jordon then piped up reminding Damien of the statement he made regarding a thank you party for the locals, "It would be good if we could have that on the Sunday before school starts in the afternoon." That got everyone thinking and George said, "I could take one on those nice fat pigs down to the slaughterhouse to be killed and dressed. We could have a spit roasted pig with potatoes and all the trimmings. The orchard over at my place is bursting with apples right now so what if we get Bentley and my wife to make a whole heap of apples pies and serve them with fresh cream from the dairy?" Everyone got very excited at that idea and George immediately got a couple of the guys to help load the pig on the truck to be slaughtered which dismayed some of the younger guys. But as George pointed out there is no room for sentiment in farming. Meanwhile his wife Martha arranged for some of the boys to go with her and pick a few baskets of apples for the pies. Bentley meanwhile set about to make the pastry and trying to find enough trays for all the pies they would need. Jordon, Geoff and Damien meanwhile hit the phones inviting all the farmers and their families who had helped them out and some local sponsors as well. Also invited were all the children and the parents of those who will be attending the new school, "I don't think one pig will be enough do you?" Damien said and the boys agreed, "What if I ring George and see if the slaughterhouse has a young steer they could let us have so can have pork and beef." They thought that was a good idea so Damien made the call. Another group of boys set to digging up potatoes and also getting some pumpkins from the patch that was growing out the back, along with cabbages and carrots for coleslaw. Just about everything on the day would be local produce with most of it grown on their own farms. One of the farmers they spoke to said that he was part of a three piece band which played at local dances and they would be happy to come along and play on the day. Once the band and food was all organized all the invitation calls were made. It took them just one day to get it all ready and it would all happen in just four days time. All the boys were very excited including the new ones who were having trouble adjusting after what they had been through. Once they had counted everyone it amounted to about four hundred people including young children. Jordon suggested that they saddle up the horses for anyone who wants a ride with small children being led around the paddock by one of the older boys. George organized for the next morning a group to go out with the tractor and trailer collecting wood for the fire pit while another crew would dig the actual pits. Eddie knew of someone who had two electric driven rotisseries which he was sure they could borrow and so the event was pretty much arranged. Classes were suspended for the rest of the week much to the boys delight as Jennifer settled in the two new teachers and together they arranged classrooms and so on. Damien along with Jordon, Geoff and Jennifer sat down the next afternoon and went right through the list of everyone they now had living under their jurisdiction, "I want to make sure everyone is covered and we have provided properly for their welfare. We are getting so many boys in here now that someone could be forgotten if were not careful." He called Nathan in who proudly displayed his new spreadsheet which showed everyone on the property including Jordon, Geoff and everyone else. It contained each persons brief background, where they were lodged and what their main tasks were or what they had been trained in. For example were they able to drive a tractor and what farm equipment could they use with it. He was also able to tell you in an instant how much it cost to feed each person and what meals they had over the past week so that Bentley could keep his kitchen pantry up to date. The boys marvelled and congratulated him on such a great job. Jokingly Geoff asked, "Does it tell you how many rolls of toilet paper we use?" Smiling Nathan said, "Yes, we are averaging thirty nine rolls per week, twenty three bars of soap, thirty tubes of toothpaste and." He blushed before he announced the next item, "Two dozen condoms and the same amount of lube." "Two much information." Damien muttered as Jennifer blushed. Changing the subject Damien suggested they go down the list of boys living on the farm, "There is Chris and Ben who are now in a partnership and will be in charge of the Jeff Bennett's old farmhouse. Now we can house two, possibly three other boys there but we should keep one room spare for the security people." Going down the list to determine who should get moved to old farmhouse it was decided that it would be a couple of boys who have been at the farm for awhile and were familiar with the running of things, "I suggest Scott and Chris who are mature and responsible enough to be on their own away from the home farm." Everyone agreed with this so it was decided. "That leaves spare accommodation in the barn so we can move the young boys out of the cramped caravan into their own rooms." Damien suggested. So it was decided that Michael and Arron would remain in the barn and are now sleeping together. The new younger arrivals, Ryan, Paul and Tony would each be given their own rooms in the barn, "Wait a minute." Jordon said, "We only have two spare rooms or will have when the others move into Jeff's farm, so I suggest the two youngest guys Ryan and Paul share." "The twins Timmy and Jimmy are well settled in their own room in the farmhouse and I suggest we leave them as is said Geoff with Nathan piping up saying, "They are working wonders with egg production which is up three hundred percent since they started working on it. The spreadsheet I designed for them they are learning very quickly to use it as well." By the time the meeting broke up everyone was happy with the way things were working out and they would keep the caravan they bought as a spare for emergencies. Just as they were leaving Damien piped up saying, "Before you leave I have some other news which I heard about the other day in Toronto. The Canadian Supreme Court declared that quotes from the bible against homosexuals are to be classified as a hate crime. Quoting that the bible says sodomy is an evil act one man was charged for distributing this material where he quoted that sodomy referred to homosexuals but made no reference to heterosexuals indulging in a similar act. The justices' declared that this was a hate crime against a minority group. This is yet another step towards us being accepted in this modern world." While the two of them didn't fully understand what he meant they thought it sounded like good news to them. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fred's Martha received some good news from her lover that he was being transferred to a prison farm with a lot less restrictions and more trust than anything. Plus he would be able to visit more often although it was a bit further away. On her first visit to the farm they were allowed to wander around the property without any supervision and had several opportunities to kiss and cuddle. Plus they could talk in private without any one listening in. Martha explained that Miles, Keith and the boys had turned away from him but when they discovered the truth that he didn't make contact with any of the boys personally they were looking at him in a different light and were happy that he hadn't done anything silly since he met Martha. This really cheered up Fred who told her, "I'm glad that Miles and Keith are back on my side because they are both good guys. Most of the guys here have access to the internet but I'm not allowed, but that doesn't worry me anymore." They continued to chat for some time about anything and everything but mainly about the love they have for each other until it was time for Martha to go. As Fred walked him down to the main gate both of them felt a lot happier than they did after their last meeting in Prison. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miles was head coach of Jeremy's school football team. They were having their first game of the season and all the boys were excited. Miles had worked wonders with them and they trusted him completely, doing exactly what he asked of them. Keith and Jeremy and the two grandmothers were sitting in the stands with Keith and Miles mothers going to their first ever football game. Patiently Keith and Jeremy explained what was happening on the field and while only half of the information went in they were enjoying seeing Miles doing so well. He set some difficult moves for the boys and most of the time they worked and on occasions finished up as touchdowns or at least gaining valuable yards. By the time the final whistle blew they had won their first game in three seasons by a big margin. All of the team gathered round wanting to be close and to congratulate their new coach. After he had sent the team to the showers Keith, Jeremy and their moms came down to congratulate Miles. Both Keith and Jeremy flung their arms around him giving him a big kiss. It was then that Miles noticed three parents standing back and obviously wanted to speak to him. So he walked over to them. The first dad who had his son and his wife with him was standing back a bit spoke, "Err, we are the families who withdrew our sons from the team when we heard that you would be head coach," He paused looking embarrassed like the rest of the group before he continued, "Firstly we would like to apologise for our behaviour, you are a good man despite what you are and a great coach." Miles thanked them very much for the kind words before the guy continued, "What we are about to ask we wouldn't be surprised if you said no and we would have to accept that, but would you consider taking our boys back into the team." Miles paused before giving his answer which all three families were sure would be no, "Of course I'd be delighted to have them back. Just bring them along to the normal training night and we'll carry on as if they had never left and nothing more need be said." The guy doing all the talking was so grateful that he gave Miles a big hug until he realised what he had done and pulled away quickly looking guilty at Keith. Laughing Keith said, "Don't worry he won't scratch your eyes out or hit you with his handbag, although my mom might." That eased the situation and they all laughed. Miles introduced them to Keith and then his mom's as he called them and of course they knew Jeremy. They chatted for a while almost like old friends until Miles excused himself saying he'd better check on his boys making sure they haven't wrecked the shower block. They all headed off in different directions with Keith muttering to his lover, "I think you had a win there darling." Miles just smiled and nodded as they walked hand in hand without Jeremy this time who was holding his two grandmothers hands. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The police contacted Damien asking if he would be able to give evidence against the people running that so called cure camp and also the parents, "Will the boys be asked to give evidence and be in court because I don't think they could handle it in the fragile state they are in now." The police contact said no because Damien and the police had taken dozens of pictures of the boys and the conditions they were living in, they would be offered in evidence so the boys wouldn't need to be there. At that news Damien breathed a sigh of relief, as they continued to discuss his evidence in detail. He decided to talk to all five boys and to make sure they were fully aware of what was going to take place. He then asked Jordon and Geoff to round them up and meet him in the dining room. He arranged for Bentley to put out some milk and cookies, chocolate chip which Bentley had just taken out of the oven. The boys walked in looking very worried but Damien smiled at them asking them to sit down and dive into the warm cookies and cold milk which they did, "Don't worry guys I just wanted to let you know what was happening with the court case involving the place you were in and what was going to happen to your parents." A look of relief tinged with more worry followed, "The good news is you guys won't have to go to court, only me." That news put smiles on their faces as Damien continued, "Now it is possible that your parents will either go to prison or be placed on probation and if that worries or upsets you please talk to Jordon and Geoff and they will help you. After all they are your mom and dad and they brought you into this world so you may still have some feelings for them despite what they did to you." Ryan spoke up with tears in his eyes, "I do love my mom and dad. They just didn't understand and they listened to all the wrong the people. I don't think I want to go back to them just yet, maybe later when I'm older but for now if you'll let me I want to stay here. You are such kind loving and understanding people which I never knew existed in this world. Thank you for taking me and the others here under your care, we will never ever forget it." Damien and the two boys took them into a big group hug with Jordon assuring them that they will never ever be turned out until they are old enough to take care of themselves and maybe go on to college. Once the five boys had gone Damien with tears in his eyes said, "Jordon you have created one of the safest, friendliest havens for boys like that. I love you and Geoff so much for what you are doing and thank you for including me in your plans." Another hug followed demonstrating what a happy contented atmosphere these boys were being brought up in. The night before the thank you party the fire pits were dug and the rotisserie set up with the beef and pork. Bentley stated that someone would have to be on hand to keep the fire burning all night, "With the meat slowly turning and cooking all night and most of the morning it should be ready just at the right time." He explained. A roster was drawn up with two boys doing two hours together and then waking up the next two. Over the past few days enough dry wood had been collected to keep the fires going and another pit was all set to be lit with a big cast iron pot with all the jacket potatoes ready to be boiled in the morning. Everyone was excited about the party and Jennifer had organised some of the younger boys to make welcome banners and posters. The morning dawned fine and warm but not too hot. Large trestle tables and chairs that were borrowed from a couple of local church halls were then set up in rows. The aroma of pork and beef cooking filled the air making everyone's stomach rumble with the lovely smell. Nathan had worked it out that there was enough apple pie for close to five hundred or more. Bentley had overdone it a little with all the catering but with four hundred guests plus all those who lived there, their security detail and the police who also were invited in case of trouble, most of the food would get eaten anyway. Just about eleven that morning the first of the guests began to arrive and were surprised at the effort the boys had gone to. By one just about everyone was there and the adults organized by Bentley were given carving knives so they could begin cutting up the meat. These included George his wife Martha, Jennifer, Veronica and Damien, while the boys got the vegetables and salads all ready. The local band had arrived earlier and were playing with some people dancing. Once lunch was announced everyone lined up and things were so well organized that it didn't take long for them all to be served and there was plenty for all. The boys and the adults then helped themselves and sat down to enjoy the meal. Anyone who wanted seconds could go back and help themselves although Bentley did suggest they leave some room for apple pie and fresh cream. It was then that a group of rednecks arrived and tried to crash the party. They were halted at the gate by security and police and began calling out anti-gay slurs which upset some people. A group of younger locals wanted to go and sort them out but were asked to just ignore them. It was then that Jordon and Geoff got a few of the older boys together and they put a whole heap of leftover food on trays carrying it to the front gate. Jordon spoke to them from a distance with the police refusing to allow him to go any further, "Look guys you have your opinions and we have ours. So why don't we agree to disagree and leave it at that. Here is some of the food we've enjoyed as a community and while the police won't allow you inside for obvious reason we would like you to share this meal with us, if only at a distance." This took the rednecks by surprise and the others sitting down at the party as well, but they took the food without saying a word and consumed it. Once the boys began walking back inside those at the tables began to stand and applaud causing Jordon and the boys to blush a deep red, while Bentley began crying on Damien's shoulder overcome with the emotion of the occasion. Jennifer came over and hugged her son saying that she was so proud of him before doing the same to Geoff. Not long after security came up saying that a couple of those outside wanted to talk to Jordon and Geoff. They walked back towards the gate and the two guys who Jordon recognised as seniors from the high school and ex-members of the hockey team were allowed inside to approach the boys, "First thank you for all for the food which was great and all of us realize that you didn't have to do that. We've been talking among ourselves and realize just how stupid we have been treating you the way we did. You're father Jordon and our own fathers as well were partly responsible for the way we have acted and we realize now how stupid we have been. All of us young guys here want to say we are sorry and call a truce. Mind you our parents won't agree and when my old man finds out I'll get a flogging but I can cope with that. You guys here are ok and I hope we can become friends. We'll never understand your way of life but each to his own. Shake?" With that they both offered their hands which the two boys willingly accepted. They parted company both sides happy that a compromise with the younger rednecks at least had been reached. They got back to the party just as the apple pies and mounds of fresh whipped cream were being dished up and everyone dove in. Once everyone had eaten and the tables were moved to one side it was time for dancing and no one appeared worried that some of the boys danced together. After a while everyone took a bit of a break and one of the town folk who was often referred to as the Mayor went up to the bands microphone calling for quiet. Once he had everyone's attention he said, On behalf of the community thank you for inviting us here today and for the fantastic food and company. What you are trying and succeeding to achieve here is wonderful and a credit to you Jordon and Geoff. Let's not forget their parents along with Damien and our master chef Bentley." This brought forth a round of applause and cheers before he continued, "I was talking to Damien over lunch and he told me how you managed to rescue five boys from a fate which could have resulted in their demise if you hadn't taken them in, even though you didn't have any room for them. What I am trying to say is that the job you are doing here is a credit to each and every one of you. I'm sure I speak for all of us here today that if we can help out in any way you only have to ask." The cheers and applause were deafening as the band began to play again and soon everyone was up dancing and having a great time. George and some of the boys along with some of the farmers had to leave to attend to things like the afternoon milking and other chores, but it was quite late before the final partygoers left. Then came the task of cleaning up, although most of the visitors had placed their paper plates and cups in one of the big garbage bins that were scattered around the place so very little rubbish was on the ground. A large bonfire got rid of most of the trash and soon the place was back to normal. They all trooped into the dining room where a heap of left overs had been placed in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. The owner of the security company John Edwards had been dating Jordon's mom Jennifer for several weeks now and it was getting serious. He and Jennifer were sitting in a corner of the dining room getting very up close and friendly. The boys had already resigned themselves to the fact that mom was dating and they knew that John had slept over a few times in moms room. Luckily they all got on well with him and he was a nice easy going guy who was good at running his business. While everyone was still having supper Jordon noticed that they very quietly left together, hand in hand. As soon as supper was finished, the table cleared and the washing done everyone headed off to bed. No one bothered to watch TV or anything like that since they were all too tired after such a busy day. The three youngest boys rescued from that horrible place came up to Jordon and Geoff thanking them so much for what they were doing to help them and for a wonderful day. All three in turn kissed them on the lips before heading out to their temporary accommodation in the caravan. Jordon and Geoff with their arms around each other were among the last to climb the stairs to bed after going around making sure the doors were locked and the place secure. Once in their own bedroom they kissed as they slowly undressed each other. Eager to make love but by the time they had laid down on the bed naked in each other's arms they couldn't keep their eyes open any longer and sleep overtook them before they could do anything except declare their love for each other. Mind you because they forgot to pull the covers over when they fell asleep they woke up shivering and with big `woodies'. So the session they had planned for the previous evening went ahead just as the sun was rising. True to his word by Monday morning the unknown benefactor had deposited the money required to purchase Jeff Bennett's farm into Jordon's refuge account. Within days the deal was done and Jeff was heading off to his little cottage next to the great lakes of Ontario. He left a lot of his furniture behind so the boys were able to move in straight away and George took over minding the crops. One big advantage was that this new farm had a massive grain silo so all the grain from the three farms would be stored there. Of course there was much excitement on that Monday as the new school opened and a host of education department officials were hovering around to make sure everything went smoothly. Jennifer had everything organized down to the fact that she didn't teach in the mornings because she still had the some of the older farm boys in the afternoons. Extra security was on hand in case of trouble but everything went smoothly with no problems and most of the parents were very impressed with the facilities. One problem which Damien and no one else for that matter had foreseen was the lack of sporting facilities. Being on a farm all the available land was used for grazing or growing and that was something that needed to be looked into in the not too distant future. No matter what happens they are still getting too big, too quick. Damien was required to go to court and give evidence about the `cure farm'. Because he was included in the group that carried out the raid he had to describe the terrible conditions in which they found the boys, naked and chained up. Plus he produced photographic evidence showing the disgusting condition the poor boys were in. He would have to do this all over again when the parents of at least two of the boys, maybe three would also go on trial. While the owners of the facility had pleaded not guilty and they gave evidence that they still believed their methods would cure young boys who were homosexuals and sinners. They didn't stand much of a chance and after only two days of trial the jury took just thirty minutes to find them guilty. The judge didn't hesitate to send all three of them involved to prison for twenty five years condemning the cruelty they imposed on innocent boys. When he returned back to the farm and told the boys involved they breathed a sigh of relief. Hugging Damien, thanking him for what he had done to save them. Later that night after super he called Jordon, Geoff and Jennifer into the front office. All three had no idea what was going on and why he wanted to talk to them. They were even more surprised when Bentley joined them sitting by Damien's side, holding his hand. "Guys I have to make a big decision. As you know I have my job here and the one in Toronto and spend one week here and the other down there?" They all nodded their heads wondering what was coming next, "Well I'm finding it more and more difficult to do both jobs as well as I would like to so I must give one of them up and the one I have decided to resign from is ... To be continued. Writer's corner: Ok another cliff-hanger but I think you can all guess what Damien is going to say next or are you? Well you will just have to wait and see. A lot happened on this chapter including the purchase of Jeff Bennett's farm thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Will we ever find out who he or she is? Stay tuned and who knows maybe we will maybe we won't. Damien knows but he ain't telling. The thank you party you went off very well with everyone having a great time except for the incident with the rednecks which Jordon appeared to have handled quite well but will the abuse and vandalism end there? I think not. It was good to see those cruel creatures getting twenty five years in prison and I wouldn't like to be them if they are put into general population at the prison. Even the most hardened criminals don't like cruelty to children. The new school opened without a hitch and was needed in the district anyway but the lack of sporting facilities could be a problem in the future. Plus the project I feel is getting too big too soon and something dramatic could happen soon. If I missed anything out in this summary I'm sure Richie will pick up on it. In the meantime please write and let me know what you think and also a big thank to the many new readers who have joined and have told me how much they enjoy my stories. Big hugs to you all Trevor Supertev699@hotmail.com Editor's corner: I am constantly amazed how mature Jordon and Geoff both are. How they handled those rednecks was amazing. More amazing was how the rednecks responded. While I think (again this is only my opinion and only Trevor knows for sure) the boys will not have any more trouble with the redneck boys I cannot say the same for their fathers. I just hope no one gets hurt when it does rear its ugly head again. I was also glad that Miles was finally accepted by the homophobic parents who pulled their children from the football team. They were only hurting their own kids. The Thank You party was awesome. I loved how well everything was thought through and how smoothly everything came together. Well with the new farm that the boys bought from Jeff I think the pressure for space for more boys will ease up. At least I hope so. They also have much more land, cattle etc. that will require more help to take care of, which will be good for bringing more boys into the farm. I know I loved this chapter and hope you did as well. Remember to let Trevor know your good and bad thoughts about the chapter and story. Its his only reward for all his hard work. So until next time I hope everyone has an awesome day. Richie
