Caleb
Chapter 28

About twenty minutes later Daphne returned to the group. "Right, this is
what's going to happen at this stage. Our investigations team is going to
find out what's been going on first. Unfortunately this does mean that you
will have to wait a bit longer before you get any assistance from the
state. But we have to do this to keep the people who are defrauding both
you and the government unaware of our investigation. And I can assure you,
that you, Sheila, are eligible for assistance and that the family, as your
carers, are also eligible for assistance. These days the payments come
through the Department of Work and Pensions, which you will become very
familiar with. However, Sheila, you will have to attend an assessment
interview to ascertain your level of need and I advise you that when this
comes about, you do not try to make things look better than they are. In
fact to get the right assessment they need to know the worst case
scenario. If you have some days that are worse than others, then tell them
about the bad days, not the better days. Please I know it will be
difficult, but don't try and be the heroine."

"How long is the investigation likely to take?" Judy asked.

"That's difficult to say. It all depends on who is doing this and how well
they've covered their tracks. But believe me, our investigations team are
good and they will catch the person or persons involved in this. Also,
because I am not connected with this area, and am in essence the
whistleblower, I will be your liaison with the investigators. This will
give them a better chance of getting the facts right before any of the
perpetrators get wind of the investigation. So, again, please, do not be
alarmed if I phone you up and ask a question or two. Also, please, do not
give anything away to anyone else but me, until I let you know that it's
okay." Daphne told them. "The other reason for keeping this below their
radar is that they might be doing it to more than just you and there might
be others who need the help but, like you, aren't getting it. And finally,
if what I suspect is happening proves to be the case, then there is a good
chance you might receive some compensation on top of beginning to receive
some benefits."

"Thank you, at least you have given us some hope. But it has also made me
feel rather stupid for not pursuing it more, earlier." Judy said.

"No, not at all. Those documents you have look genuine enough to fool most
people. It's only because I work with that sort of document every day that
I was able to tell there is something not quite right with them. But even I
can't tell you exactly what's off without looking at the rest of the
information they have, and some genuine document forms. But now, I just
want to spend some time chatting with you all to get a better picture of
just what you've been through and how you've coped with what has
happened. I will be able to have some input when arranging your assessment
and what I learn now will help me to be more accurate. Although I am not
from this area, I do have some overall influence that I like to use in
cases like this. Also, I have to add that there is a bit of curiosity to
find out what it is that you have as a family that has got my nephew so
fired up about all of you." Daphne said and smiled, and Jerry blushed.

For the next couple of hours the six of them talked with only a break to
prepare another round of refreshments. Daphne was so charming that she put
them all at ease and the conversation flowed as if they had been friends
for ages. Daphne and Amelia left, but Jerry asked to be allowed to stay on
a bit longer and got invited to stay on for tea. With getting some extra
Sunday's in, Judy was able to make the offer without causing the three of
them to suffer later on with shortages. But she did still have to be
careful not to make the offer too often. Once Daphne and Amelia had left,
Judy went to the kitchen to begin preparing the meal and Caleb quietly left
the lounge and after checking with his mother that he was not needed in the
kitchen went through to his room and began doing some advanced research on
secret boxes.

During their meal Caleb offered to walk with Jerry part of the way home so
that he would not have to do it all alone and Jerry accepted the offer of
some company. As they walked they talked about the possibility of Sheila
getting some benefits and Caleb showed by his expressions and body language
that he was really upset that they had been cheated all that time. In the
half light of the evening, Jerry could still see the glisten of tears in
Caleb's eyes indicating just how upset he was. Again Jerry marvelled at how
Caleb's upset was not for himself but for his sister and mother. Finally he
let it out in an aggressive voice, "Some fucking shithead has been getting
fat while mum has half killed herself trying to bring some money into our
home and also look after Sheila, and Sheila has had all this being bloody
uncomfortable and feeling guilty that she's making mum and me suffer while
we've had some arsehole fucking laughing at us behind our backs for
years. I'd like to tie the cunt to a pole and cut his balls off and let his
blood slowly seep out the wound until he's nearly dead and then let him see
what it's like to suffer."

Jerry stopped and pulled Caleb into a hug which got Caleb crying, but
helped him to calm down a bit. Jerry stood with Caleb for quite a long time
until his eyes had dried and Jerry had managed to get a laugh out of
him. Then he sent Caleb on his way back home again. Jerry knew he could
comfort Caleb a bit, but he realised that Caleb really needed to be with
his mum and sister so that they could support each other as they worked
through the emotions Daphne's visit had raised.

However, Judy stopped Caleb and Sheila from discussing the case because she
said they could not talk about "what if's" and should rather spend time
talking about things that make them happy. Caleb did still vent his
feelings in a somewhat abridged version. Judy just said, "But it's made us
a stronger family for it. I have two brilliant children who have made me so
proud to be their mum. We've been in it together from the beginning and
we'll be in it together till the end. Now Caleb, please go and shower that
smooth body of yours and then it's bed for you as you have school in the
morning. I'll help Sheila shower and get ready for bed after you're done."

The next week at school was largely uneventful except that Graeme made a
point of talking to Natasha Everett every day. Graeme and Ronnie also spent
a fair bit of time standing next to each other during the breaks where they
all met up together. That select group could tell there was a budding
relationship building between the two boys and they were all happy for the
pair. However, they did manage to keep their feelings for each other hidden
from the curious eyes of the rest of their peers at school.  Mark spent
quite a bit of his time trying to keep close to Caleb in the hopes that his
feelings for Caleb would somehow infiltrate Caleb's psyche and cause him to
reciprocate. With Jerry visiting Sheila almost every day, Caleb found he
had more time on his hands to do his research and by the time Friday came
and he took delivery of the little wooden box, as yet unopened, he had
several avenues from which to approach the puzzle that was the box.

The first direction that Caleb took to try and solve the box was to hold it
close to his ear and give it a sharp shake. He did this holding the box in
several different ways, but not a sound could be heard from inside the
box. His research told him that this meant if there were moving parts
hidden inside the box they had to be manipulated in some way to release
them. He then took some squared paper which he had prepared in advance and
cut a piece to fit on each of the six surfaces of the box. With the box
marked up, he methodically went from square to square putting on a bit of
pressure feeling for something to move slightly and listening for a
click. Pressing each square carefully, so as to be sure that if there was
any movement it would be felt, took a lot of time and when Caleb pressed
the last square it was well after his usual bed time and he reluctantly put
the box down and turned off the light.

Caleb had hoped to be a normal teenager and sleep in the following morning,
but his slumber was broken by the loud shrill of the telephone. He guessed
that it was late enough that his mother would have left for work as she had
managed to get an early Saturday shift in. Knowing that Sheila couldn't get
to it, he quickly got out of bed and padded through to the lounge to answer
the phone. He found it strange that he suddenly felt self-conscious,
standing there totally naked, when he discovered that the call was from
Daphne; he instinctively put his free hand down to cover his crotch as best
it could.  Then realising there was no way Daphne could even know that he
was naked he smiled at himself and blushed.

"I hope I didn't wake you up Caleb, but I need copies of those documents
your mother showed me last week. Do you think you could scan them in and
email them to me if I tell which ones I need, please?" Daphne asked.

"I don't know. We don't have a scanner or a printer. I don't think the
library has one either. I'll have to check if Jerry has one and if he has
maybe I can go round there later today." Caleb said.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that. Is your mum there?"

"No, she got some extra work today. She will only get home later this
evening." Caleb said.

"Okay, I'll give you a call later on and we'll work out what we can do. If
your mum says it's okay, maybe I'll be able to take the papers and make
copies of them and then get them back to you. I'll call later; sorry to
have troubled you. Goodbye." Daphne said.

"Bye," Caleb responded and hung up as he heard the line go dead.

He was about to go back to bed when he realised that he really needed to
pee. The urgency had escaped him when talking on the phone. He also
realised that Sheila probably also needed to pee and so he went to her room
and looked in. "Morning, how are you today?"

"I badly need to pee. Can you help me please?" Sheila replied.

Caleb went straight to her bed and pulled the covers back. Then he helped
her to sit and as he did so he pulled her nightie up and off, leaving the
pair of them naked together. Caleb lifted Sheila into her chair and wheeled
her through to the bathroom where he helped her onto the loo before
stepping into the shower and letting loose with his own piss.

"Who was on the phone?" Sheila asked as her piss started to flow.

"Jerry's aunt Daphne. She needs copies of the papers mum has and wanted me
to scan them in and email them. She must think that every home has a
scanner and printer and all." Caleb told her. "Anyway, when I told her we
don't have a scanner, she said she would call back later when mum should be
home from work and discuss it with her."

Caleb then helped Sheila into the shower and the two of them showered
together. When Caleb turned the water off Sheila asked, "Have you had a
wank yet this morning?"

"No, I was asleep when that phone went off." Caleb answered.

"Do you want to sixty nine with me then?" Sheila offered.

"Don't you want to keep that for Jerry? I guess he'll be round here
sometime this morning." Caleb asked.

"If Jerry and I do, do something, my being fingered by you and sucking your
cock now, won't be a problem. Remember us girls can have more orgasms than
you guys can in the same time." Sheila answered. "Besides, Jerry knows that
we do stuff together and I've told him I'm not going to cut you out just
because he's dating me."

"Okay, I was hard until I discovered who was on the other end of the
phone." Caleb said, his cock already stiffening to show that he really was
willing.

Caleb wheeled Sheila back through to her room and helped her to lay down on
the bed on her back. Then he got on the bed and moved to get his knees
either side of her head and worked it to lower his cock into her mouth. As
Sheila began to suck on his cock with him helping by pumping it up and
down, Caleb got his arms under Sheila's legs and brought his hands up into
her crotch where he began a slow but sure tease of her pussy making sure to
use her own juices to lube his fingers as he used one hand to excite her
clit and the other hand to push fingers into her hole and pump them in a
fucking motion. Caleb got his fingers into a rhythm that matched the
humping of his hips, but Sheila was a bit more turned on than him because
she had her first orgasm fairly quickly. A second and a third followed
before Caleb groaned and began to shoot his load into his sister's
mouth. After he had finished spasming, he left his cock dangling in her
mouth as she teased it some more with her tongue. This kept his cock from
softening but the sensations eventually got too intense for him to cope
with and he reluctantly was forced to pull his cock out of Sheila's
mouth. He lay down beside her and asked if she had enjoyed it.

"You know I nearly came again when you started to cum. Your cum still
tastes nice too. It's not the same as Jerry's but still nice."

"Are you going to let Jerry fuck you?" Caleb asked.

"I will if he wants to. But so far he says that he wants to keep that for a
special time. In the meantime, he's got a wicked tongue." Sheila said.

The two chatted for a little bit more then Caleb got up and went back
through to the bathroom and after sorting himself out he returned to Sheila
with a damp cloth to wipe her before helping her to dress. Only then did
Caleb go back to his room to put some clothes on for the first time since
he'd had his shower the night before. He returned to Sheila and took her
through to the kitchen and got them both some breakfast in the form of a
bowl of cereal each. After cleaning up they went through to the lounge and
turned the telly on to watch something while Sheila waited for Jerry to
arrive.

When Jerry arrived, he and Sheila tried hard to get Caleb to join them for
a walk, but Caleb obstinately refused. Caleb knew that Jerry and Sheila
needed time together, alone, to help their relationship to build; and he
had a certain box that he wanted to get to work on.

With the house to himself, Caleb was back in his room with the little
wooden box. This time he was about to begin trying out the third thing he
had learned about in his research into puzzle boxes. He laid out a small
collection of magnets that he had managed to put together. Caleb had an
interest in magnetism and had been collecting magnets for a few years,
little knowing that he would be using them for this purpose when he first
got his interest. Picking up one of the magnets that he considered to be in
middle range of strength he put it against the box and slowly slid it along
its length until he got almost to the middle of that side when he felt some
resistance. He moved it around a little to confirm his suspicions and found
that in one place the magnet held to the box without his assistance. He
then tried the magnet on the opposite side of the box with the same
result. Caleb knew that he was onto the solution but did not know how to
tell what he should do next. He put the box down on his table and picked up
his laptop with the intention of looking up some more on magnetic catches
in puzzle boxes. As he swivelled around from picking up his laptop his eyes
caught the pattern on the top of the box. Suddenly it became clear. The
inlay of flowers and creepers became the map of the solution. The trail of
the creeper with the leaves hanging down became directional arrows and the
flowers showed where the bolts were in relation to where the stops were.

Putting his laptop back on the floor, Caleb got a magnet on either side of
the box and after moving them around a little to where he felt the
strongest pull he then slide both magnets in the direction the arrows on
the lid showed. When the magnet drew level with the arrow head on both
sides, he got two more magnets and put them in line with the flower heads
and then slid those magnets down the box moving them at ninety degrees to
the first two magnets. He found he could then slide the top of the box
lengthways. As he did so, he discovered that the top was shaped with
dove-tail edges to keep it in a track.  As the lid moved past the centre
point Caleb saw the metal posts that were being held down by the second
pair of magnets. Without the magnets these posts lifted up and locked into
two hollows in the lid preventing it from sliding off the main part of the
box. With those two pins in the raised position the other two magnets could
be released and this allowed a horizontal bar on either side of the box
body to slide under the vertical pins and prevent them from dropping and
releasing the lid.

Caleb felt a real sense of pride in his achievement and with the box opened
he found it was fitted with velvet lined cushions which held two USB drives
tightly in their places. Lifting the two drives out he discovered one had a
label written with permanent marker that simple said, "nat 1" the second
was labelled as "nat 2".

Curiosity won out and Caleb soon had his laptop fired up and he plugged in
the first of the drives. He discovered that it had a series of folders all
identified by a date. Looking at them made him open his eyes and whistle.
He skipped through several of the folders and then unplugged that drive to
look at the second one. Again there was a series of dated folders and more
of what he had been seeing in the first. Caleb knew that he needed to do
something but was not sure what and so decided to wait until Jerry and
Sheila got home and then he planned on showing it to them to get their
thoughts.
