Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 03:59:59 +0000 (UTC) From: Tague Micheals Subject: Getting a Foster Kid 10 Okay so this chapter is laid out a little differently, as you will discover. On another note it's time for YOU to make a monetary contribution to Nifty. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gillette's already pale face was even more so when I found him in our room after I'd gotten home from wrestling practice. I had been begged to join the team because I was about as big and strong as anyone else in our small high school and also because I was already a well-established athlete. So, that meant not getting home until after 5 every night. I started peeling clothes off as I went up the stairs so my upper body was bare when I got into our room. I had taken a shower at school only because I got to look at other naked boys, something I was finding myself doing with more frequency and much more interest. There were more than a few prospects for boy sex judging by the way some of them smiled at me, or stared at my cock while fondling their own and not uncommonly getting a boner. A little hottie named Alex had actually cornered me once and said he'd love to suck my cock if I was willing to let him. "Fuck Tanner I'd even let you fuck me." I didn't know what exactly happened but after Jeremiah and Charlie but it seemed like more boys were making themselves available to me. Gillette even told me about boys his age who asked about me, had heard about my big cock and wanted to know all about it or better yet spend the night so they could see, and feel, for themselves. Of course I filled out a singlet pretty damned good. Some of the boys said that attendance was better at matches with me on the team. Shit. So there I was, walking into our room and stopped dead. "What's the matter Gillette; are you okay?" He didn't speak for a while then in a very soft voice, almost a whisper he said, "There are bodies down there Tanner. Not real bodies but skeletons." He wasn't looking at me when he said it but he looked up. "Skeletons of children, about my age or younger I guess." "What! I mean, are you sure Gillette?" He looked at me like I was the biggest fucking stupid ass in the world but didn't say it. Instead he said, "There must be dozens of them in little cubbyholes like they just lay there and died." "But why Gillette? I mean, that sounds too weird. Let me go down and take a look," I said, peeling my jeans off to change into cutoffs. "You can't tanner. That's the thing. Only a small person, a child, can get up into where they're at. As it is, I'll bet that in another year or even less I won't be able to get in there. I think I figured it out though, why they were there and how they died. Maybe not how but why." It wasn't like Gillette to drag a story out like that. Usually he would just go full on balls ahead but it was clear to me that he was upset by what he found, or maybe it was just too unbelievable to him. "Okay, what," I asked after he didn't answer. He looked up at me, his face still pale, and in a soft and moderate voice he said, "To guard all the gold that is up there." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once again, I'm getting ahead of myself. I should tell about the encounter with Jeremiah and Charlie because that happened first. "I'm thinking it won't be long before those two want these in their tight little assholes," Jeremiah said as he stroked that big python. The little guys were sucking each in a side by side 69 and fingering the ass holes in questions. "Do you or Gillette have any problems swapping partners at some point while we're here? Charlie and I talked about it and we certainly want to fuck in front you and Gillette. We both think it's gonna be hot as hell but we'd also like to have a little variety. I know that Charlie wants to fuck Gillette too and have your boy fuck him and both you and I have wondered what it would be like to get fucked by a monster cock." I shook my head and nodded it while saying, "No, I don't think it's an issue and yes we talked about it too. I think this is going to be a no holds barred sort of thing and both Gillette and I are all for it." I was absently stroking my cock too. We watched our two hot lovers loving on each other for a moment before they rolled away from each other. "I should warn you though that Charlie can be very creative when it comes to sex so don't be surprised if he suggests something new or different." "He's not gonna, like, wanna get fucked by the dog is he?" Jeremiah laughed but he also shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think so but I wouldn't rule it out and I wouldn't be shocked if he suggested it." Our discussion was interrupted by the boy in question. "I need a big cock in my ass," Charlie declared, his eyes all but closed in lust. "Ditto that," Gillette said, looking pretty much like Charlie did. Both boys' cock were hard as steel bars, the ends a bright red from trapped blood, both sets of hairless boy balls hanging sweetly between equally hairless and pale thighs. "Have you guys decided whose fucking who?" Jeremiah had posed the question. Both boys nodded their pale blond heads. Charlie took hold of my raging boner while Gillette took hold of Jeremiah's. "We want to start out with on our sides with you guys fucking us from behind so we can make out while you fuck us," Charlie said. "What you mean, start out," I asked "Because we want to end up on our backs side by side so we can still kiss and stuff while you fuck us good and hard," Gillette said. "Oh," Jeremiah said, "Well in that case." We adjourned to our makeshift bed and each began making out with our prospective lovers. As I said, Charlie was more enthusiastic than Gillette and that's going some for sure. That little boy was all over me; kissing, rubbing, hugging, fondling, grinding his little boner against me and everything else imaginable. I had this thought that that he might keep Jeremiah pretty tired. During a break in the kissing Charlie said that he had showered just before coming over to my house so if I felt like licking his hole or something it was okay. Oh man I definitely wanted to suck and lick that boys' puckered little muscle. I got him on his back with his arm between his legs and elbows behind his knees. Fuck it opened him wide as he could go. I wondered what it would be like to fuck him like that. Charlie's asshole was all pink and nice looking and as always I wondered how something as big as his fist would fit inside that tiny hole, knowing full well it would although not without some difficulty or pain. I licked all over him and moaning beside us caused me to look and see that Gillette was being worked over in the same manner. It was definitely hot seeing my sweet boy playing sexy with another boy. "Let's trade Tanner so I can do you," Charlie finally announced after a great deal of moaning. He told me to just straddle him, that way I could suck his cock and lick on his balls if I wanted. Sounded like it was something he wanted but hey, I was okay with that. "I'm gonna direct you a little bit with my hands on your hips okay Tanner?" I said it was fine. I got into position above him and lowered my face to nail hard preteen cocklet. I felt him tug on my hips so lowered my waist and it took a minute but I knew he was just letting my balls rest on his face. Then his lips began nuzzling at the soft folds of my sac and shortly he started licking my balls. All the while the fingers of his other hand were gently exploring my asshole and the area all around it. Charlie was almost tickling me, his touch was so light. It took a minute but he eventually moved me so he could work on my butthole and boy did he ever. That boy went after my hole like it was his last meal on earth, all the while moaning softly. I could feel his entire face pressed into my cheeks and when he licked down along that seam of flesh that goes to my balls his nose was right in my hole. I kept sucking his delicious young boner and, as he suggested, holding his balls up so I could lick and suck on the smaller eggs. I looked over at Gillette who happened to turn to look at me. I knew that expression; the eyes almost closed, his mouth slack as if he were confused about what was happening to him, about to announce it. I could tell. I knew when Gillette was ready to get fucked and right then was the when. "I need to get fucked, right now," he said, his voice deepened in lust. Jeremiah moved away from him then Gillette had snagged a bottle of lube from our bag which both Jeremiah and his preteen lover, were excited about. "Tired of using hand lotion and hair conditioner," the teen said. "You're lucky." "We are lucky," Gillette said, "dad gets it for us." Both Jeremiah and Charlie's mouths dropped wide open. "Your dad gets you lube," Jeremiah asked. "He knows about you guys doing stuff," Charlie asked immediately. We both nodded our heads then Gillette explained which garnered the response that indeed we were very lucky. "Oh man I don't know how I'd feel if my parents knew about me and Charlie or other boys. I suppose if they were cool it wouldn't matter huh?" Gillette and I both said, "Right." That said we each lubed up our respective parts then lay on our makeshift bed. Gillette and Charlie lay face to face and practically right up against each other while Jeremiah and I both lay behind our respective fuck buddy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What gold," I said, my voice having gone into a higher pitch. "There are rooms up there Tanner," Gillette explained, his voice still soft. "I saw 3 but there might be more; I haven't explored all that much. They're about the size of the twins' bedroom. They are filled with gold. There are containers of gold dust, bag like things, and weaved baskets full of gold nuggets or coins, jewelry made of gold, statues, shields, spears, knives, cups, trays or dishes, I mean all kind of fucking stuff." I've said it before. Gillette rarely swore unless he was up a fog of sexy hotness or he was highly excited or scared. "We gotta tell mom and have her get dad back home right away," I said. I had mixed feelings about what Gillette had told me. "Not yet Tanner," Gillette said, interrupting my thoughts. "Let's take the Polaroid down there and I'll take some pictures and that way we'll have proof. I can also bring something out. Nobody much bigger than me can get in there Tanner and I'm not sure that dad or anyone else would want to take a chance on excavating in there. "Good idea Gillette." I got dressed and we went downstairs, grabbed the camera and got out the door before mom saw us. We went in through the barn entrance and along the way Gillette told me what had happened. There was a bunch of what look like chimneys, natural chutes that go upward in the rock, which I already knew. Gillette had looked up into a number of them using a flashlight and typically they ended or curved in a different direction. Sometimes he could feel a draft and knew that the chute probably ended up outside somewhere. "There was something different about this one Tanner. It seemed like the rock walls were made for climbing and I saw some scratch marks too so I used a miners helmet and looped a flashlight through my belt and started climbing. About 15 feet up the tunnel curved and just past the curve was an almost square hole in the wall and it didn't look natural, like the other chutes; it seemed like it was man made. I could feel a draft coming from it. When I looked up I saw that the chute got real small before it disappeared around another corner. I managed to get turned around in the side chute and wiggled along for another 10 feet and came into the room." Gillette went on to say that the room he was first in contained dozens of little cubicles carved into the walls with small skeletons in it. They were floor to ceiling but the ceiling wasn't all that high; maybe 10-15 feet. He found 2 rooms that led off of the first one and that's where all the loot was. "It freaked me out at first Tanner," he said as we scuttled down the passageway, "the skeletons I mean. But in the rooms it was like in a pirate movie or something Tanner," he said. Inside Gillette grabbed some rope and a heavy canvas bag then led me down a series of tunnels, stopping in front of what looked like another shallow hole. It around the corner from one of the larger, taller rooms in the cave, one where it looked like fires had been built and was almost to the river. "Here," he said handing me the flashlight, "take a look up." I could see what he meant about it curving off to one side. When I popped back out he was finished tying the rope around his ankle then attached it to the bag which he put the camera in. "I'll yell down when I'm going to drop the camera," he said then started inching his way up the shaft. I held a flashlight up to help him see and in the process felt my heart flutter. It looked to me like a dangerous climb and if he fell he'd be seriously hurt. I watched him disappear around the corner so I just sat there and waited. A good 5 minutes later he started pulling the rope and before long the canvas bag disappeared into the darkness of the chute. I heard Gillette's piercing whistle a good 10 minutes later then a beam of light filled the hollow in the wall. Pretty soon bits of rock were bouncing off the floor then the canvas bag was there. "Untie the bag Tanner I'm going to bring the rope back up," he called down. I did as Gillette asked then opened the bag and reached in, pulling the camera case out first. Next was a cylindrical object and when it came to light I just about shit my britches. "Well fuck me and send me straight to hell," I said out loud as I stared at a 6 inch statue made out of what looked like solid gold. Damned thing was heavy enough. I reached back in and pulled out a handful of gold coins, at least I figured they were gold. Sure as hell looked like it. I put them back then opened the camera case and pulled out 5 pictures. They were amazing. Stacked in little cubicles just like Gillette had said were dozens of skeletons. The other pictures showed the treasure hoard in the other rooms. The stuff was pretty much just sort of stacked around like in someone's old garage or something. Fucking A Christ; if we got to keep this stuff we'd be rich as all hell. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremiah and I both moved in close to our prospective lovers who had propped the foot of their top leg flat on the ground in order to open themselves up to us. I slipped a finger inside Charlie's tight little asshole causing him to grunt softly. A foot away from me Jeramiah did the same to Gillette while the two hot preteens went about sucking each other's smooth face accompanied by moans and plenty of tongue action. I managed eye contact with Jeremiah and by some unspoken signal we agreed to work in tandem. As such, when I began to insert a second finger into his tender young boyfriend's ass Jeremiah did the same to mine, stretching Gillette's hungry hole a little wider. I moved my upper body closer and began kissing on Charlie's neck and working on his each. Needless to say it was like lighting a bit of a fire under his ass. It seemed like he added more energy to making out with Gillette. Both boys had already taken hold of each other's cocklet and were stroking them with a vengeance, sliding foreskins back and forth over red tinged swollen young cock heads. I couldn't believe I was going to fuck Charlie. Goddamn that boy was so hot but then, so was Gillette. I guess maybe it was just cuz he was a new boy. "I'm ready you guys," the boy of my dreams announced and Charlie seconded that motion. It would have been nice to be in a position whereby we could pull our fingers out and push our cock head in right away but we weren't so the boys were going to have to endure a little more pain to get what they wanted. I slipped my fingers out of the tight confines of Charlie's ass and began working my cock head into the hole. The boy let go of Gillette's cock and reached down to put his fingers on the underside of my cock and underside ridge of the head. The boys had stopped kissing and were concentrating on phase two; entry. I watched Jeremiah, just as he was watching me since the position deprived either of us the stimulating pleasure of watching our own insertion. I felt Charlie's muscle begin to give way and a moment later the head slipped inside of him. "Fuck," the boy grunted and of course I stopped. Across from me I watched Jeremiah push through and lodge himself in Gillette's hole. Gillette's reaction wasn't much different than Charlie's. Jeremiah and I looked at each other, offered lopsided grins then began working on our boys, nuzzling and kissing their necks like we had done before. Almost in unison both Charlie and Gillette told us to go ahead. I slowly pushed my cock into Charlie's body, reveling in the warm tight feeling on my boner. I had fucked my boy in this position before. The cool part then, in a way, was seeing Gillette's beautiful smooth face while Jeremiah did the same thing to him. I loved looking down on Gillette's face when I fucked him, reveled in the seeing as well as the feelings on my cock. This way I saw my sweet young lover boy from a different angle and I had the tight warm feelings on my cock. It was way cool. Once I was all the way inside I draped my arm around Charlie's belly then cupped my hand over his cock. He and Gillette went back to kissing and tongue fighting while Jeremiah and I began the process of physically loving each other's boy, sliding big fat cocks in and out of their tight little assholes. Charlie took his hand from Gillette's raging boner and reached behind to put his hand on my ass as if to encourage me to fuck him and fuck the hot young boy, I did. Seeing Jeremiah fuck Gillette was hot beyond words. The expression on my boys' face was classic Gillette when he was all up in a fog of hotness, that is what I could see when it wasn't covered by Charlie's face. While I couldn't really see his asshole and see precisely where Jeremiah's cock was going in and out of his body, I could see that thick monstrous piece of flesh and in doing so I realized that was pretty much what I must look like when I fucked Gillette because I wasn't all that much smaller than my horse hung friend. Hence the nickname Palomino brothers that our coach and friends in PE class called us. "I want to move a little more onto my belly Tanner," Charlie finally said. Keeping my cock fully lodged inside of him we got Charlie moved back a little bit from Gillette then he rolled toward his stomach although not on it but about half way between on his side and on his belly. Gillette elected to do the same and the position required both Jeremiah and me to move more onto our knees than not. It also placed us slightly crosswise to our young partners which in turn moved our faces closer to each other. Needless to say that gave us an opportunity to kiss. It was a little difficult to manage any quality type of kissing while we fucked the boys that way but somehow we managed to overcame the difficulties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gillette came down the chute, his face smudged with dirt and bits of rock and dirt clinging to his blonde hair. "I found another room and there is a hole in the floor so I dropped the rope through it. Maybe we can see where it comes out but I'll bet it's going to be in the fire room." As I said before, the larger room with the fire pit was around a couple of corners from where we stood. "I think that was how the kids got food and water and maybe even got rid of their poop and stuff Tanner. I haven't seen any evidence of a fire or anything so I don't know how they saw anything up there. What I think is that kids were up there to protect the gold. I mean, there isn't any other way in that I can see and the way in is so difficult that a young kid would be able to pretty much stop anyone from getting in there, especially since anyone else would be a kid too unless it was a midget adult. I think that they reached an age and size that prevented them from leaving so they died up there. And since all the little skeletons are so cozy in their little cubby holes I bet that they were poisoned or something. It's all real weird Tanner. Dad is going to have to get some of his spy friends to figure it out but I bet I'm right." I would bet that Gillette was right too. That boy was wicked smart. Before going topside we took a look in the larger room and after searching we found the rope dangling from a small hole in the ceiling, again, just as Gillette had suggested. Interestingly enough, nor not actually, if it hadn't been for the rope we probably would never have seen the hole because of so many other indentations and rock formations on the ceiling. When we told mom what Gillette had discovered then showed her the stuff and the pictures she about shit too. "Holy shit," she said loudly, one of the rare times I ever heard my mom cuss. Fifteen minutes later Gillette was talking to dad on the phone and explaining what he saw and his own theories on the subject. When he got off the phone Gillette said that dad told him he was probably more right than wrong. "He'll be home sometime tomorrow morning," my lover my foster brother said. I wondered out loud that was going to happen. When we went to bed that night it was one of the few times that Gillette wasn't particularly interested in having sex which didn't stop him from wanting to snuggle and cuddle, which we did. "I just feel sad for those boys having to die up there," he said as I held him. When I asked what made him think they were only boys and not girls. "Think about it Tanner. It's always been the men or boys who protect the villages. And you know what else? I bet that it was sort of an honor to be chosen to do that. How else would they get a kid to go up there? It's not like they could drag them ya know." He had a point although I imagined that threat of death would cause a kid to go up there. I was getting out of the shower about 6 the next morning when I heard a distant whumping sound that got progressively louder and recognized it as a helicopter. Gillette jumped out of bed and headed for the bathroom, his morning boner bobbing and wagging in front of him. I checked out his deliciously tender ass as he went by and had an urge to lay him out and eat him. Instead I tugged on jeans, shirt and shoes and headed downstairs. As I entered the kitchen I heard the chopper settling in alongside the barn so snagged my jacket of the peg in the laundry room and went outside. Of course Zeke was animated as all hell. As I cleared the house I saw the helicopter, big ole army job. A side door slid open and dad hopped out and as I ran to him 5 more guys got out and started unloading crates of equipment. I gave dad a hug and he asked where Gillette was. Before I could answer the boy in question came racing out of the house, leaping the back steps. Dad and Gillette talked as we headed into the house where dad looked at the pictures and the loot. "Holy shit," he said and I laughed and said that was exactly what mom said although mom was standing right there. The decision was made for me and Gillette to stay home from school, which pissed the girls off because they had to go. "I brought some experts with me so we're going to go down below then have Gillette go up into the hideaway and use a live feed camera to project back what he sees. John is going to look over the stuff you brought down and see if he can determine anything from them. Honey," he said to mom, "coffee and edibles would be very helpful." Mom nodded her head and went straight to the kitchen while dad, Gillette and I headed outside with the stuff that Gillette brought up from the cave. Dad introduced us to the men who came with him and Gillette handed the bag of stuff over to the guy named John who whistled when he saw it. "Stuff is at least 600 years old, more than likely closer to 1000," he said. Gillette's jaw dropped but no farther than mine. "No shit," I said then added, "Sorry dad." My father laughed then John said he couldn't have expressed it any better himself. He went on to explain that he'd never seen anything like it come out of the states but had seen similar items in South America as well as Africa. "Certainly could wreak havoc with current theories regarding first inhabitants." Apparently John was an expert in Archeology and history. Mack, one of the other guys, was an expert on caves and geology, more so even than my dad. Teddy was a self-described electronic gadget freak who didn't seem much older than me really. The rest of the guys were there to do the grunt work. Introductions were made all around then headed down below ground, mom saying she would make a large coffee cake and bring it and coffee down in a little bit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremiah and I continue to fuck the boys from that position while the boys continued to try and kiss as well as play with each other's cock. Neither Jeremiah nor I were going very fast, neither in a hurry to cum and the boys weren't bugging us to do anything different than what we were doing. We kept it up, you should pardon the expression, for about 3 or 4 minutes before Charlie deemed it time to change again. This time it required us to pull our cocks out of the youngsters. Just like when I pulled my cock out of gillnetter, Charlie's asshole was the size of a donut hole. As soon as we were cleared Gillette was in my arms kissing me all over my face and mouth. "Oh man Tanner, it really isn't that much different than your big fat cock. It feels good and I think maybe you should have Jeremiah fuck you." Charlie had done the same thing to Jeremiah, was in the older teens arms and kissing up one side and down the other and professing his love for his teenaged lover while saying that he loved having my cock in his asshole. "I really need to get fucked good and hard now though," he said and at that the two boys changed partners and the gorgeous young thing was in my arms and kissing me just like Gillette had. "You got a way awesome cock too Tanner and now I need you to put it work." That said the two flopped onto our makeshift bed and hauled their legs back, offering us their tender young assholes again. They were lying flush against each other so that one reached out and held the other one's leg back out of the way. Jeremiah and I got onto position and simply slipped our cocks back inside the boys and pushed until our bodies were up against theirs. "Oh god that feels good," Charlie sighed as I bottomed out inside his preteen body. "Fuck me good Tanner. Fuck your big cock into me" and he immediately turned his head. Gillette had done the same so the two boys started kissing again then adjusted their upper bodies a little to facilitate that effort. I began to fuck the boy, good and hard just like he had requested and alongside me Jeremiah was doing the same thing to Gillette. Being in that position was really hot for me for a variety of reasons but mostly because I could really see Jeremiah loving my sweet baby boy. Jeremiah had a pretty terrific ass and watching him move it was pretty cool. I would have like to be in a position to actually see his big cock going in and out of Gillette. Charlie saw me looking around and knew what I was thinking. "We'll do it different next time Tanner so you actually see what it looks like with Jeremiah's big cock fucking Gillette's asshole," he said. I lowered my head and kissed him and his response was to throw his arms around my neck and kissed me fiercely. It wouldn't do but Gillette did the same thing to Jeremiah who responded accordingly. All I all it wasn't much different for me than when I fucked Gillette except that Charlie was more interactive although I had to admit that Gillette had come a long way since the beginning. Of course I was looking down onto a boy that was about the cutest thing on the planet and since I'd thought the same thing about Gillette that was saying something. "Can you get my legs up against your shoulders Tanner," Charlie said, breaking the silence. Well, it really wasn't all that silent because of the heavy breathing, the grunting and the sound of bodies slapping together. I stopped moving, took his ankles and set them against my shoulders. Once there I leaned forward and put my hands on the bed alongside his chest. "Oh fuck yes, that's perfect," the boy panted. I started to fuck the shit out of him, slamming my fat cock into his ass after pulling a good half way out. My balls were slapping against him and he grunted with each thrust into his body. "I'm gonna cum pretty soon Jeremiah," Gillette groaned out. "Fuck me hard; fuck my ass hard." It had taken my sweet little lover boy to get into the swing of talking during sex. Heck it had both of us a little time getting into it but we both loved it and swore that it made our sexual battles even hotter. I glanced at Jeremiah who was focused on Gillette's smooth face and I saw on Gillette's face the telltale signs that was in the stratosphere of hotness. I felt my own sperming coming on. The feeling of my cock in Charlie's ass, seeing Gillette so hot from another boy fucking him and seeing the hotness reflected in Jeremiah's face were all working their magic on me. "I'm almost there too Tanner," Charlie said to me a moment later. "Make me cum from your fucking me Tanner, make me squirt my sperm out." I was surprised as hell at that. I didn't know that he was actually squirting sperm, not that it mattered. He wanted me to make him cum so that became my mission. "Oh fuck Gillette I'm cumming," Jeremiah cried out. I watched him press his body against Gillette's; grind his tight ass around then go back to slamming my boyfriend. Below me Charlie groaned. "I'm cumming I'm cumming, Oohhh fuck." I felt his asshole grip my cock and the third time it did it I began unloading my sperm into his young boys body. Interestingly enough Gillette hadn't announced his cumming but I knew that he was because I recognized the grunts and groans. Of course it was all over way sooner than anyone wanted it to be. I let Charlie's legs down and he immediately wrapped them around my waist. He moves his arms around my neck and gently tugged so I lowered my head and we kissed; soft gentle after sperming kisses. "I didn't know you made sperm Charlie," I whispered. "I just started, like an hour ago," he said jokingly then added, "It isn't much, believe me, but its sticky stuff," he said. I told him I wanted to taste it and he said he would love to shoot it into my mouth. Next to us Gillette and Jeremiah were engaged in soft kissing and when they stopped he looked over at me and smiled and mouthed I love you. I mouthed it back at him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Gillette's suggestion, the techs had him hoist the camera and cords up from the large chamber and not up the chute. A cord for headphones was incorporated into the bundle of wires for the camera and extra floor lights. It took a good hour to get things set up, another 10 minutes to show Gillette how to operate things. By that time mom had come down with the coffee and a coffee cake which we all participated in demolishing. An hour and a half after entering the tunnel Gillette was scampering up the chute. What would happen is that Gillette would start the video where he entered the first chamber. He was asked to try and get a close up view of the walls and the entry way to the tunnel that he used to access the chambers and then go from there. The video feed would be taped while Teddy and John watched on a TV monitor. John would have headphones on and be connected to Gillette to give him commands when and where necessary. I was right there alongside dad and getting my first glimpse at what my little brother had discovered. Yeah, I referred to Gillette as my brother quite bit and it gave me good feelings whenever I said it. The skeletons were just as Gillette had said and I had to give him props for not being creeped out when he first saw them. It was pretty creepy. Gillette moved through into each room and scanned from left to right slowly. John would have him stop to focus on a particular object for a moment then let him move on. As he moved through the rooms, or chambers, John or Mack would make comments to dad about this thing or that and one of the observations was that the entry tunnel that Gillette used was definitely man made and my dad agreed. I had no idea how they figured that out but would hold off asking how they knew. "That opens up a great many more questions then," my dad said and got a head not from the other man. As Gillette moved through the room John would see something that caught his eye and ask Gillette to set it aside to be dropped down in a heavy canvas bag when they were finished taping. All in all Gillette was up there for over an hour. "How are you doing on air son," my dad asked from his own headset. Gillette's mouth piece went to a small speaker so we could all hear what he said. "I'm good dad. The air seems pretty good and sometimes I can almost feel a breeze up here." All 3 of the men shot each glances along with slight head nods. I wasn't any dummy and figured it out pretty quick. There had to be a vent or multiple vents somewhere in those rooms. After Gillette had completed his circuit he lowered the video camera and headset back down the hole then went back through the rooms to collect the samples that John had requested. He put those carefully into smaller felt bags which were put gently into the larger canvas bag and lowered it through the hole then he came back down through the chute. "Great job Gillette," John and Mack said and of course dad gave Gillette a hug and kiss on the forehead. I was still flabbergasted at the objects that Gillette had sent down the hole. Two or 3 of the objects were small statues of animals; a bear, a dog, a lion. They were very intricately carved and the bear and lion had jewels for eyes. John pointed out that the lion was more like Chinese in its origin than the other two. According to John another small statue appeared to be Azteca which, he said, opened up even more questions. "I think we need to map the cave, particularly this area, and figure out where we are relevant to above ground." "That's already been done John," my father said, "I think it a best to move to step 2 and get ground penetrating radar topside and figure out where the entrance is, or was. I'm guessing that it was closed off purposely." The look on my face asked all the questions that I had while John and Mack's heads were nodding in agreement. "It's clear that the entrance tunnel that Gillette uses was man made. The scrape marks are visible on the walls inside the tunnel and on the outside. Some of the objects in the rooms are too big or too heavy to have been lugged up the chute, especially by a child or even small young adult." Then Gillette butted in. "That means there had to have been another entrance. I thought so too." All of us looked at him and before anyone could ask Gillette went on. "I already figured that stuff out I just forgot to say anything in all the excitement. There is definitely a breeze up there and it doesn't seem to be coming from the chute or the hole so that means it's coming from somewhere else. Plus the air seems pretty good up there, not stuffy like it is in other places down here. I guess that means that I'm going to have to move all that stuff in the rooms." "Pretty much son," my dad said. When my dumb ass asked why Gillette explained that most likely the entrance from inside was still open but hidden and the only place to hide it would be behind the artifacts. "That's going to be a lot of work and take a lot of time," I pointed out. "It would be nice if he had some help," Mack said. Everyone agreed but also agreed that there was a huge risk of not being able to contain the situation. "Charlie," Gillette said, looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah, maybe," I said. "Who is Charlie," our dad asked and Gillette explained that he was a good friend, that mom knew him because he'd been out to the house a few times. "He's really trustworthy dad." I backed Gillette up on that. Of course dad along with John were highly skeptical about bringing an outside in. "You gotta trust me on this dad," Gillette said. I don't know what my dad saw in Gillette's face but it was like a light bulb went off and I knew goddamned well that dad knew we were playing sexy with Charlie. "Okay but there is still the concern about danger. What if he falls going up the chute and gets injured?" "We can just say we were playing down there," Gillette responded. "We can rig a sling for the boy Fran," Mack pointed out, "or even a small cage. Use a small electric winch to haul him and down." Dad thought about it for about 10 seconds then said, "Okay, let's make it happen."
