MARTIN ROBERTS INVESTIGATES THE GREYMOUNT COLLEGE MURDERS Chapter 4 As might have been expected in such a closed community, the news that the police were now treating the death of Lawrence Miller as a murder enquiry spread rapidly through Greymount College, first to the staff room and then out among the students. The Principal, Alex Scott-Brown spent much of the afternoon preparing for, and then attending, a meeting of the College Board of Trustees. The meeting decided on a number of matters that were related to the way in which the affair should be handled. First, it was agreed that everything should be done to restrict the amount of bad publicity that attached to the College itself as a result of the teacher's death. Second, everyone at the meeting agreed that, as far as possible, life at the College should go on as normal, although it was recognised that the police investigation would cause some disruption. Third, the meeting accepted that there would be a need to increase the number of counsellors in the school in order to support the students at this difficult time. Alex had already invited a number of counsellors into the College but the Board agreed that he could ask for more of them if he deemed it necessary. Finally, it was agreed that each House Master would make a formal statement that night at dinner in their dormitory, having first briefed the most senior students in their House immediately beforehand. As soon as the Board members had dispersed, the Principal summoned all the House Masters and gave them guidelines as to what they should say. The House Master of Marston House, Raymond Collinson, knew that his would be the most difficult task especially as the murdered man had been his assistant. He asked his two most senior students, Paul Ferris and Tim Oakley to come to see him just before dinner and the two boys arrived outside his door at roughly the same time. Paul and Tim were friends and played together in the College cricket team but in terms of personality, they were quite different in personality and rather complemented each other as senior members of the dormitory. Almost everyone in Marston Hall and in the College was in awe of Paul's intellectual ability and academic prowess and equally in admiration of his prodigious cricketing talent, but they found him rather intimidating and not very approachable. Tim, by contrast, was no academic and struggled hard to get to grips with his studies. On the other hand he was a fine athlete playing in the College rugby and cricket teams as well as representing it in swimming and athletics. Everyone liked Tim and found his easy-going ways most appealing. Tim was renowned for his large stock of tales, few of which anyone believed but which kept the dormitory entertained. Most of these stories involved the young student's self-proclaimed irresistibility to any woman within a wide radius of his presence. The one story that seemed to have a degree of credibility, however, concerned the time when Tim had sustained a serious injury during a rugby game the previous year. As a result of his injury the student had been taken to the school sick bay so that his injured and badly bruised balls and genital area could be properly examined. On duty that day was the Assistant Matron, Anna Young, who had reassured her young patient that he had nothing to worry about and that he would quickly recover. After Tim had expressed his doubts on this score, Anna had, alleged, demonstrated that everything was in working order by not only causing Tim to gain an erection but relieving him of his cum by manually wanking him off. Tim's would re-tell this story complete with dramatic actions and illustration to as many members of the dormitory as were willing to listen and his rendition often led his audience to relive this experience in their own mind, often with the same sticky result. Tim's other claim to fame was that, unlike the overwhelming majority of boys in Marston Hall, he was a roundhead and was more than pleased to show off his circumcision scar to anyone who wanted to see it. Indeed, over protests from other boys, Tim would regularly assert that in his experience the exposed head of his prick was what gave him his magical attraction for all women. After the House Master had briefed them, Paul and Tim went back to their studies to prepare for dinner. Paul had been greatly affected by the news that his lover, Lawrie Miller, had been murdered but he had to try to hold his emotions in check. It was almost certain that at some stage the police would find out that Lawrie was gay and this would be a moment of potential danger and exposure for Paul. After some thought, Paul determined that he would lie if asked about Lawrie's sex life. He could not deny seeing a lot of the teacher but could convincingly argue that this was study related. Their sexual relationship could remain the secret it had been during Lawrie's lifetime. At dinner, Raymond Collinson made a very well balanced statement in which he told the members of the dormitory the facts surrounding the police investigation and addressed the issue of the fact that the victim was a member of their small community. The House Master expressed his sympathy to those who felt his loss most deeply before concluding by outlining the likely effect the police investigation would be likely to have on the running of the College over the next few days. In concluding his remarks, Raymond Collinson urged students to be positive and to look forward the future with confidence. Overall the statement was listened to in silence and dinner was eaten in a rather subdued atmosphere of stilted conversation and the end of the meal seemed to be a relief for everyone. As the boys streamed out of the dining hall to go back to their common rooms, there was a new arrival at the entrance to the dormitory. The visitor was none other than Anna Young and her arrival stimulated a moment of light relief when it proved to be a source of schoolboy humour. One of the boys who saw the arrival of the attractive nurse whispered rather loudly that he wondered why Anna was in Marston Hall and received a reply to the effect that she was probably there to ensure that Tim Oakley's bits were all still in full working order. This throwaway line had temporarily lifted the sombre mood among the students and had caused a lot of sniggering and outright laughter. Even Tim had burst out into fits of giggle when another student reported these remarks to him later that evening. In reality, the nurse had come to see a younger student, Johnny Price, who had suffered a severe asthma attack earlier in the day and was again showing signs of distress. Paul and Tim had been left by Raymond Collinson to look after the junior members of the dormitory and to try to answer their questions and concerns and so they had agreed to divide the students into two groups. As luck would have it, Paul managed to ensure that Peter Fowler was among the group that he saw. At the end of the meeting at which a few students had asked question, Paul looked straight at Peter and said, "OK, that's all I can tell you for now, but if you have anything else you want to say or need to talk to me about. I'm available at any time in my study." Peter took the hint and waited until the others had filed out and said quietly, "I'd like a word if that's all right." "Of course, Peter, come to my study in five minutes and we can talk then." Peter went away and disappeared into the nearest toilet where he carefully removed his trousers and underwear. Stuffing his boxers into his trouser pocket, the randy young student then pulled his trousers up and went off towards Paul's study. The door was open and, after knocking, Peter walked in and was greeted with a warm smile from the House Captain, who indicated with a gesture that the younger boy should close and lock the door. As soon as he had done this Peter walked right up close to Paul, took hold of the older boy's hand and placed it firmly against the front of his trousers and said, "I don't know about you but ever since I head about Mr Miller's death I've been unable to stop getting a hard-on every few minutes." Paul could tell from the feel of the cloth that the young teenager had no underwear on and unzipped the trousers letting them fall to the ground and leave the hard cock fully exposed. The older boy opened his mouth and swallowed the whole length of the cock into his mouth, rolling the skin back with his lips as he did so. At the same time Paul allowed his hand to explore around Peter's balls and then move further round so that it was close to the young student's virgin hole. The House Captain began to suck the randy boy's cock in and out between his lips and slowly inched his finger to the entrance to Peter's hole. Peter gave a slight gasp of shock and surprise when Paul finally pushed his finger into the resistant arse hole entrance but the older boy paused monetarily from his oral action to whisper, `Don't worry, you'll like it and it'll make you feel even sexier. It'll hurt a bit at first but that will pass. Tap me on the head if it gets too bad and I will stop. Promise. But try to wait a few minutes and I think you'll enjoy what I'm doing." Peter nodded that he understood and Paul resumed his frontal and rear assault on the boy's cock and arse hole. As the finger gained further entrance into the tight hole, the younger boy drew in his breath sharply but as Paul had predicted the initial pain wore off quite quickly and soon he was used to the feel of the invading digit. All of a sudden a flash of electricity passed through the horny young teen as the House Captain's finger touched something inside him. Paul knew that he had found Peter prostate and now resumed his sucking motion on the youngster's cock and could feel the cock shaft jolt every time his finger teased the supersensitive prostate. Peter was beginning to lose control and began to whisper urgently, "Whatever you're doing, don't stop!!! I'm going to cum!! I'm .. going .. to .. cum!! .. Noooowwww!!! Peter's young body shuddered and his cock cannoned out several volleys of spunk onto Paul's eager tongue and into his mouth. The older boy swallowed the creamy jizz and only allowed the cock to slip out of his mouth and his finger out of the younger boy's hole once every last drop of cum had been savoured. Like most young teens Peter quickly recovered and said, "Wow, Paul, that was amazing. Thanks. It was the best ever!! Now it's your turn. Want me o suck you in return?" Paul would have liked to broach the subject of a fuck but decided that he would open up Peter's hole a bit more before he went that far. The older student nodded and watched as the eager randy young student wasted no time in getting his mouth, lips and tongue working on the already throbbing cock. Peter licked the clear pre-cum off the piss slit and then swallowed most of the thick shaft into his mouth. Paul was already approaching the point of no return and so he pushed his cock to the back of Peter's throat and then allowed it to stay there for a moment before he withdrew it and then proceeded to face-fuck the eager youth. In the short while since he had had his first encounter with Paul, Peter had learned a lot and he was getting quite skilful at using his mouth to create maximum pleasure. The senior student was ready to cum and pulled his cock almost completely out of the gobbling mouth so that his flared piss slit would fire his spunk straight onto the younger student's tongue. Paul's eyes glazed over but he was able to say a few words, "Here it cums!! Take it, Peter!! Eat my creamy spunk!! Oh ^Å Yeahhh!!!!" Peter felt the hot jizz on his tongue and began to lick and swallow as fast as he could, making sure that he swallowed all he could and that none went to waste. Paul had hardly known a cum last so long and his dick seemed to be firing ball juice for a long time before it finally came to a halt. Withdrawing his now softening and sensitive cock from Peter's mouth Paul said, "Thanks, Peter!! I really needed that!! You were awesome!!" "So were you, Paul. But when can we meet up again with Bobby? I want to do the same with him and you as we did earlier." "Soon, I hope Peter and I have another idea to make our threesome even more exciting. How would you feel about sucking one of us and being fucked by the other?" "I'm .. not sure", said Peter slightly hesitantly, "but I might be prepared to give it a go." "Good for you, Peter", Paul responded, "You'd better get off back to your room now otherwise you might get caught. Get dressed quickly and, if anyone asks, you were seeing me because you were very upset about Mr Miller." "OK" When the younger boy was fully dressed, Paul opened the door a fraction and satisfied the coast was clear, ushered the younger boy out. Later when he checked the dormitories and the House Captain was relieved to see that his new sexual partner was sound asleep and safely in bed. The following morning Chief Inspector Mark Jamieson held an early morning briefing in the classroom that the College had made available to him as an operations room. The main thrust of the investigation was to be to interview as many of the College staff and students as possible to see whether they had seen anything. Mark would be interviewing the Principal and senior staff, other officers would be expected to talk to students informally although any that needed to be interviewed formally would require an adult to be present. At this stage, however, the Chief Inspector said that he was hopeful that the discovery that Lawrence Miller, the murdered man, was gay would remain a secret for the time being. In terms of the general needs of the enquiry, Mark made three announcements. First, it was likely that the team led by Superintendent Martin Roberts would be asked to become involved because of their expertise in sexual crimes. A member of the team, Mike Rickwood, was already in the College and other officers might well arrive later. Second, the scenes of crime officers would be undertaking a fingertip search of the tower, which fortunately had remained sealed since the body had been discovered. Finally, the cricket stumps had been sent for detailed forensic examination and it was hoped that the results would be available later in the day or early the following morning. Turning to Mike Rickwood, Mark said, "As you have made some commitments to the cricket game on Sunday which I hope will go ahead and because you have a relationship with the coach, I'd like you to concentrate on that aspect of the case. If Superintendent Roberts comes himself I'll reconsider how to redeploy everyone but in the meantime, I will second you to my team, OK?" "Absolutely, sir. I'll go and have a chat with coach Graham but I doubt if he could be a suspect. You know he has an artificial arm. He lost his right arm at the elbow in a terrible accident just after he played in his first Test for England." "I didn't know that, I'm not a cricket fan. I have an open mind anyway over whether this is an internal job or Lawrence Miller was seeing someone from outside. I can't even be sure that the fact that he was gay is relevant to the murder. We haven't got much evidence at all, but someone on the inside of the cricket team could be useful." "Fine by me, sir. I'll keep my eyes and ears open." Mile Rickwood walked off towards the cricket pavilion in the hope that there might be some of the team and the coach having a net. The young Sergeant also hoped that he could have a longer chat with David Graham the coach and with the College's fast bowler, Bobby Marsh. Some distance to the south of the Greymount College, Martin Roberts was sitting in his office in Scotland Yard. The Superintendent was aware that he would be formally ordered to get involved in the College murder investigation at any moment but he had promised his partner, Tom, that he would not be pro-active in the case. The telephone on his desk rang and Martin answered it in his usual clipped manner, "Roberts" "It's Mark, sir. I know you know about the gay life aspect of Lawrence Miller and I wondered how I should play it. I expect my superiors will call you in very soon and I don't want to do anything at the moment that would conflict with your line of investigation." "Considerate as always, Mark. I'm hoping that I can rely on Mike Rickwood to do the donkeywork. I've promised Tom I won't get over-involved. I think you need to talk in general terms at this stage. I'm sure you know we can't be certain at this stage that Miller was killed because he was gay. If he was then obviously a number of options open up. A member of staff, even the Principal, might have found out and killed him to keep the matter quiet; a rivalry for affection, jealousy, blackmail are all potential motives and that could apply equally among students as well as the staff. On the other hand, the death could have been the result of an assignation with an outsider. I assume that the tower where he died, although obviously dangerous, would be a possible meeting place. Best to start with the Principal and then the senior staff and, as I assume you already have, see if Mike can glean some gossip and information from the students." "It's amazing how much we think alike, sir. It must be the time I spent with you and the excellent example I received from you!" "Not entirely, Mark. You have natural intelligence and you have good intuition. Do you think Miller was killed because he was gay?" "I'm not absolutely sure to be honest. There's no clear evidence either way at the moment, so I'm keeping an open mind." "Good. One last thing. Are you sure that Miller was the intended victim? It might be worth looking into that. The Principal and others said that they did not know why Miller was near the tower. Now, that was before the information about his sexuality came to light but even so they could be right and that he heard or saw something that he shouldn't and whoever was there panicked and killed him." "An interesting theory, sir, and one that I had decided I ought to follow up. I've ordered a full search of the tower, far more thorough than before. I think the murder weapon was probably a cricket stump, which suggests the perpetrator indulged in a degree of pre-meditation and that may rule out the idea that Miller stumbled on something else." "Good point. I'll have another think about that and talk to you again soon." Moments later a summons to the Commander's office indicated that Scotland Yard was now involved in the investigation and Martin was now formally the most senior officer investigating the case. On his return to his own office the Superintendent called Mark back but the Chief Inspector already knew what had happened. Martin informed his friend that he would certainly leave Mark in charge at the scene and would be unable to meet him at the College until later that day or maybe even not until the following morning. In the meantime, Martin asked Mark to keep him informed of any developments and to continue along the lines that he had outlined earlier. Mark agreed to this request but also said that eh felt he ought to inform the Principal of the development even though he would try to keep the reason for the change a secret. To his amazement the Chief Inspector did not have very much difficulty with Alex Scott-Brown, who seemed unaware of the significance of Martin Robert's appointment although, being something of a snob, was pleased that such a senior officer was now leading the enquiry. Progress on the lines of enquiry that had been agreed was much slower than expected. The team searching the tower had to act carefully as the structure was even less safe than had previously been thought. A number of articles of potential interest were found and each of these had been sent for scientific and other examination. Similarly, the cricket stumps had produced a few hopeful results in the sense that there were bloodstains on them but after further examination none of the specks of blood matched the victim. This confirmed the view that the killing had been pre-meditated and that the murderer had cleaned the murder weapon after the crime had been committed. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the shape of the cricket stumps matched exactly the wound at the back of Lawrence Miller's head. Interviews with the staff and students had also been taken slowly. Mark had spoken to the Principal and had asked him about Lawrence Miller's background and social life. Alex Scott-Brown had indicated that he had no reason to believe that there was anything strange about the dead teacher. He was personally not very well acquainted with the man and suggested that the Chief Inspector speak to Raymond Collinson, the House Master of Marston House who thought highly of him and knew him far better and to Andy Stephens who was the Assistant House Master of College House and a good friend of the dead man. Mark came away from the interview with the impression that every answer he had received from the College Principal had been basically truthful but that he had not been very helpful and had withheld any matters that could be considered as unnecessarily detailed. Similar terse answers were received to the questions that were put to other teachers. Mark was becoming frustrated at what he regarded as the lack of cooperation and reported this view to Martin Roberts. The Superintendent said that he would consider the issue and that he would come to the College the following morning and then have the whole matter thrashed out at the morning briefing. In contrast to the staff reticence, Mike Rickwood had found that the students were taking quite an interest in the investigation and his relationship with members of the cricket team meant that he could talk informally to them and pick up casual information in the process. Over a couple of days the Sergeant had been able to give some helpful advice to Bobby Marsh about his bowling and observe the dynamics of the team in general. Bobby and Paul seemed to spend a lot of time talking to each other rather often and sometimes to Tim Oakley, the wicketkeeper. Something told Mike that the relationship between Paul and Bobby was more than just one between a team captain and his deputy. Mike noticed that when they were changing after a session bowling in the nets, Bobby had positioned himself in just the right place to be able to discretely check out the Sergeant. This suspicion was confirmed when Mike noticed that the bowler's glance at him as he stood naked was rather longer than might have been expected. The Sergeant also noticed that Paul and Bobby had exchanged a look after they had both observed the older man's naked torso. Later that afternoon, Mike told Mark and Martin that he suspected that Paul and Bobby were more than just friends and that they had had a relationship of a sexual nature in the past and might still be closely involved. Although both the senior officers found this information interesting, and especially so given the fact that Paul was the House Captain in the dormitory where Lawrence Miller had worked, it was only speculation and intuition on the part of Mike and they had no proof. This meant that they would have to tread very carefully in managing this potential line of enquiry. The following morning Martin held a meeting of the investigating team and a number of issues were open for discussion. The first was how to put pressure on the College teaching staff to be more cooperative. After a heated debate, martin decided to hold back on revealing that Lawrence Miller had been gay. However, he did agree that some discrete and informal interviews should be held with senior students. Martin asked other members of the team to avoid saying anything that might reveal the line of enquiry to the wider College community. The interviews with Bobby and Paul would take place with himself, mark and Mike being present. Mike was included because of his personal rapport with the two boys. After further discussion, it was decided that Paul would be the first to be interviewed and Mike was sent off to find him and bring him back to meet Mark and Martin. The initial part of the interview with Paul Ferris was quite standard as Martin and Mark asked about his whereabouts at the time of the death of Lawrence Miller and the cricket captain's knowledge of the storage arrangements for the cricket stumps. The news that Paul had been having a cricket net and then had spent some time explaining the working of the scoreboard to the new team scorer, Peter Fowler, seemed to give the star batsman a strong alibi. Nevertheless, Martin decided to ask some more penetrating and personal questions, "As you are aware, Paul, this is a murder enquiry and what you say to us is unofficial, unless it has a direct bearing on the case. I want to ask you about your relationship with Lawrence Miller." Paul nodded and looked as though he had been expecting this and said, "I saw quite a lot of Mr Miller not just in my capacity as the House Captain but also because he was advising me on my studies. He and I shared a great love of History and he was interested in many of the things that I was." "Did you ever see Mr Miller alone?" "Yes, quite often, but equally often when we had others listening to our discussions." "On any of the times when you were alone with him, did Mr Miller ever make any inappropriate advances or suggestions to you?" Paul looked somewhat stunned by this question and Martin noted that there was hesitation in his reply, "Inappropriate? I don't know what you mean, sir." Martin looked hard at Paul and said, "I think you probably do, Paul. Look I'm not here to judge and I promise you that I will not let anything you say go outside this room unless it is necessary for the case. This interview is not formal so anything you say cannot be used. Now let me ask you directly, did you and Mr Miller have a relationship that was more than normal for a student to have with his teacher? Were you and Lawrence Miller having sex together?" Paul looked helplessly at the three policemen in the room. The student was shaking his head and trying to decide what to say. Looking from one face to the other, Paul found little to help him. The friendliest face was that of Mike Rickwood, who smiled encouragingly at the student and said, "Come on, Paul, you've got nothing to fear from telling the truth. If your description of your movements are as you say that are and you have witnesses to support them, you can't be implicated in Lawrence Miler's death, but we need to know the background so that we can catch whoever is responsible." After a further pause the young student began to nod slightly and without looking at any of the three others in the room began to speak softly, "I know I've got to tell the truth to help you find the killer, it's just that it is so hard for me." Martin smiled encouragingly and said sympathetically, "I know but it is all off the record, nothing will go out of this room unless it is directly relevant to this case. Please believe me." Again there was a pause then Paul seemed to make up his mind and started to speak again, "The answer to your question, sir, is yes. Yes I did have sex with Lawr .. Mr Miller, but I did so voluntarily and willingly. We were both over the age of consent and we knew what we wanted. I used to have sex with him in his study as often as we could." "I see", said Mark also sympathetically, "and did anyone know your secret?" "Not that I know of, sir. We were very discrete. We nearly got caught by Mr Collinson one time and that's when we decided we had to find an alternative place to meet." "And did you find one?" asked Mark quietly, already certain that he knew the answer. "Yes, sir. We used to meet in the tower in the room .. where .. Lawrie .. was killed." Paul's voice trailed off and the young student began to shed a few tears. "I know this is upsetting, Paul, but I only have two more questions and then it will be over for the time being." Mark again sounded as supportive as he could be but there was a determined tone to his voice. The Chief Inspector then asked his next question, "Is it possible that someone saw you or Mr Miller going into the tower?" "I don't think so, sir. We were very discrete and always went to the tower and came back by different routes. In addition we always arrived and left separately. I normally got there first and provided the place was empty I would go in and wait for Lawrie to arrive. Most members of staff rarely come that way unless they have seen a smoker sneaking off to have a cigarette. It seemed quite safe. The only other students who knew about the tower was the group that used to meet for sex when I first came to the College, but only Bobby and I are left of that original group." "Did Bobby know about you and Mr Miller?" Martin interposed the obvious question. "No, sir. I never told him about us and there was no way he would have found out. I'm sure if you ask him he'll confirm that." Martin nodded and Mark asked the last question, "I'm sorry, Paul, but I have to ask you this. Did you kill Lawrence Miller?" Paul looked stunned for a moment and then angry, he almost shouted his response, "No! .. No, I did not! I .. loved Lawrie .. I wanted to be with him for ever! I'd never even think of killing him .. I loved him!!" Mike Rickwood stepped forward and placed a comforting arm around Paul's shoulder and gently led the student out of the room. Mike chose a route that ensured that by the time they were outside, the teenaged student had recovered his composure. As they parted, Mike shook Paul's hand and said, "Well done, Paul. You told the truth, I'm sure. It was difficult but it showed that you are a strong man. Go and have a drink and then get off to the nets and get some batting in! I'm looking forward to our duel on Sunday!!" Paul smiled for the first time since he left the interview and said to the handsome Sergeant. "I will and I'm looking forward to the game as well!!" When Mike returned to the interview room, Bobby Marsh had just arrived. Mark asked a few questions but it was obvious that Bobby knew relatively little. He did not study History and lived in a different dormitory from the one where Lawrence Miller had been employed. The youngster's knowledge of the teacher was very limited and he was able to contribute little or nothing to the understanding of the relationship between the teacher and Paul. After it became obvious that they were likely to learn nothing of value from the interview, Martin indicated that there was little point in continuing and the discussion was terminated. Mike escorted Bobby from the room and at the door also shook hands with Bobby, "Thanks, Bobby. Are you looking forward to the match on Sunday?" "Yes, I am! It should be a close game and thanks by the way for helping me with my bowling. You'd better watch out I could use some of the things you taught me against you!!" "I'll look forward to that. See you later!" Mike hurried back to where he had left Martin and Mark and joined in the discussion, Martin smiled warmly at the Sergeant and said, "Well done, Mike, your intuition was spot on! We now know two more things, Bobby was sexually involved with Paul as you suspected and also Paul and Lawrence Miller were also sexually active. It opens up a range of new possibilities. I think we need to confirm Paul's story for the morning of the murder but I'm pretty confident it will check out. That leaves us with Bobby but he did not strike me as a liar and he seemed genuinely unaware of Paul's relationship with the victim. So, did anyone else find out about them?" "I'm inclined to agree with you, sir, I don't think either Paul or Bobby killed Mr Miller. But a gay scandal at the College could finish it off completely and there are plenty of suspects if the information had come to their attention." Finally, the group asked to see the boys that had bowled to Paul Ferris in the nets on the day of Lawrence Miller's murder and also Peter Fowler whom he had met in the score box immediately afterwards. The first two boys confirmed that they had been in the nets with Paul and that they had neither seen nor heard anything unusual on the day in question. Peter Fowler also explained that he had been in the score box being shown how to operate the scoreboard at the time Paul had stated. After they had gone over the necessary details they had both left the box together and returned to College for their classes. Mike showed Peter out of the room and again his antenna suggested that there was something more that peter was not saying but decided to keep this to himself for the moment. The Sergeant felt that one lucky intuitive guess was more than enough, but he would try to find out more if he could. Once Peter had gone back to College after his interview, Mike listened in silence while the two senior officers discussed the latest developments. It appeared as though Paul was in the clear but the Sergeant wanted to know how the other two intended to proceed with the enquiry from this point. However, Mike also wanted to ensure that he had his weekend arrangements confirmed. Tentatively, the Sergeant broached the subject, "Sir, do you still want me to play in the game on Sunday and go to the team meeting tomorrow?" Both Mark and Martin nodded and Martin added, "Yes, Mike, but keep your eyes and ears open see if anyone lets anything slip. I'll be there on Sunday. Tom and I plan to make a day of it and hopefully you and Ruth with bring David too, won't you Mark?" Mark said that he would and that in the meantime they would try to discover more details of the financial situation of the College and the background of other staff members. The Saturday arrangement was that both the Principal's team and the College team would have time on the field to have net and fielding practices. In the nets, Mike's bowling impressed the captain of the principal's team, Geoff James, a College Trustee and local cricket club player. As a result of what he had seen, at the end of their training session, Geoff told Mike that he would use him in short bursts against the opposition the next day. The game was to be played over a limited number of overs and no one player could bowl more than a fixed number. Mike was happy with this arrangement explaining that he was not really match fit but liked the idea of short sharp bursts. The captain also explained that the man they had to contain was Paul Ferris who had slaughtered them over the last few years with his devastating batting. It was clear that Geoff expected Mike to be the key to restricting the young batsmen and giving the Principal's team a chance of victory. At home with Tom, Martin explained the arrangements for the following day and Harry and Simon were excited at the thought of seeing David again and at the prospect of a big picnic outside. Tom also seemed pleased, especially as his lover's involvement in the investigation had not been as onerous as he had expected. The two lovers had even found time for a short but very satisfying fuck the night before and Tom was sure that they would have time for a longer session that evening after the children had been settled into bed. Martin was also relieved that his involvement in the murder case had not prevented him from having the energy to engage in sex with his partner and was looking forward to the extended session promised for later. With the excuse that they would have an early start the following morning, Steven and Harry were sent to bed as soon as their supper and bath was over. Once all was quiet, Tom and Martin retired to their bedroom. Once there, Tom reached around his partner and slowly began to undress him using his hands to sensuously run over his chest, paying particular attention to stimulating Martin's nipples and then the younger lover moved his hand slowly to his lover's crotch. The older man moaned with delight at the stimulation he was receiving and the growing hardness of his shaft indicated to Tom that his actions were having the desired effect. Martin began to respond to his lover's initiative by grinding his body against Tom, who spun his older lover round so that they were facing each other. This allowed Martin to reciprocate more effectively and soon both men were naked and fully aroused. Without delay, Tom pushed his older lover back onto the bed and climbed on top of him, kneeling over Martin and directing his hard uncut cock towards the older man's mouth. Martin took the tip of Tom's dick between his lips and used them to uncover the sensitive pink head and then waited as the younger man pushed more of the hard shaft inside the welcoming mouth. The older lover indicated that he wanted his partner to face fuck him as he lay back with his head at just the right angle so that each inward thrust went straight to the back of his throat. Tom pounded his dick in and out of Martin's welcoming mouth feeling the roughness of his partner's tongue with each thrust until the younger man felt the first tingle of delight as the eruption that would start in his balls began to build to a crescendo. With a stifled cry of joy, Tom felt the tingle spread through his shaft until he was ready to unleash a torrent of spunk into his lover's mouth and throat. The younger lover watched excitedly as Martin swallowed the whole load. When he had finished cumming, Tom raised himself up and then lowered himself onto the older man's erect cock, until he was totally impaled on the complete length of Martin's prick. Gradually increasing the speed, the younger lover began to slide up and down the length of Martin's dick, riding it with skill and energy. Both men knew that this was Martin's favourite position and Tom was determined that they would enjoy the chance to satisfy their mutual desires in this way. The younger man knew how best to please his partner and used every trick he could to prolong the enjoyment. Tom allowed his strong arse muscles to tighten and loosen their grip on his Martin's shaft and adjusted the speed of his riding up and down to ensure the maximum time was spend with the prick lodged hard and deep inside his love channel. The older lover was groaning uncontrollably and his dick was twitching and throbbing as he fought desperately to prevent the inevitable climax. Looking up at his lover riding up and down on top of him, Martin could see that Tom was vigorously wanking his own cock as he rode up and down on the older man's rampant tool. It was clear that both men were aware that this could not last much longer and that soon an explosion of cum would occur. Slightly surprisingly, it was the younger man who shot his second load first, showering his jizz onto Martin's chest. The sight of the angry piss slit firing cum for a second time was the final straw for the older partner, who relieved his own tension and deposited his warm creamy spunk deep inside Tom. In order to maximise the mutual pleasure the younger lover clamped his muscles hard so that they gripped the throbbing shaft as tightly as possible and Tom could feel the mighty orgasm that was taking place inside his love channel. At the same time Martin watched as his younger lover began to scrape cum off his chest. Tom first offered some to his lover who licked the finger into his mouth savouring the second helping of tasty ball cream and then Martin encouraged his lover to take the rest for himself. Tom did so and he too savoured the warm creamy taste on his lips before swallowing it down his throat. With mutual satisfaction achieved, the two lovers slid down into the bed and, heedful of the warning they had given to the children about the early start, drifted quickly off to sleep cuddled in each other's arms. Back at the College, Paul Ferris had recovered from the trauma of the Friday interview with the Police. Part of him was relieved that the truth about himself and Lawrie had come out. He had had a good practice in the nets the previous day, He and Bobby had planned their strategy for the match and were confident that they could once again defeat the Principal's team. As he lay in bed, Paul's thoughts turned to the happy times he had had with Lawrie and had wanked his erect cock remembering the times when he and Lawrie had satisfied each other's wants and needs. As the spunk shot from his cock, Paul realised that all he had left would be memories and the grief that he had bottled up inside himself suddenly burst forth. The young student cried uncontrollably bemoaning the loss of the love of his life. After a while, Paul felt better and he drifted off to sleep determined to do well the following day as he wanted to dedicate his performance in the match to the memory of Lawrence Miller.
