The belated education of Charlie Hibbs Chapter 22-The battle of Rockstaff (part three) When captain Khan arrived at the rally point he had immediately taken charge of the chaotic situation that greeted him. He ordered the prefects to carry the injured to the infirmary while the other boys were ordered to wait where they were until the main building was declared secure. He ordered sergent Selby to wait with the boys armed and ready to defend them if needs be and he... very carefully... and very respectfully... requested the assistance of Reginald Borks in guarding the boys temporarily, "If you would be so kind sir... " Borks looked at captain Khan with a scowl, "They're all dead. The boys are fine." He held up his prize bag, "I have work to do." "I... I understand you are... a vey busy man..." Even for a battle hardened soldier like captain Khan the idea of what was in that bag sickened him and it was difficult to forget it when it was dangling in his face... But he had a job to do, "... I... I must ord-" "I'll stay." Borks said taking captain Khan by surprise. "I... err... " Borks scowled again at captain Khan, "I said I'd fucking stay! What?! You want it in fucking writing?!" Captain Khan was knocked from his shock, "I... No sir! Thank you!" After the bodies had been cleared from the hallways and the blood cleaned up the boys of Rockstaff had been ordered to return to their dorms and common rooms and await further instrucrions. For now at least, they were once again safe. They had survived the attack. Even though they had all been through so much today there was still one last thing captain Khan had to do. In the corridor outside the infirmary he approached the two younger Carver brothers and interrupted Seb reassuring Theo that Jason would be fine, "Boys." Two pairs of blue eyes under blonde hair looked up at him, "I'm sorry for this but there is a matter we must discuss with you in the headmasters office. Please follow me." He looked at Charlie, "You should probably come too." The infirmary had become a scene of panicked activity as the injured boys had been brought in. As soon as Doc saw them he jumped out of bed against the wishes of nurse Hanson and began tending to their wounds. "Doctor please!" Nurse Hanson begged. "These boys need my help!" "You have a concussion!" "Nurse Hanson you can either help or get out of my way and let me do my job!" Doc asserted. She looked into the mans eyes and knew he wasn't going to be swayed, "... Yes doctor. What do you need." Doc had dressed Jasons stomache wound and stabilised the boy. He had just started to attend to Rickys injured arm, "My phone is in my jacket pocket, use it to call Dr. Bolton. She's friendly and can arrange for ambulances to come and collect the injured." "Yes doctor." Nurse Hanson asked as she looked through the pockets of Docs jacket. Soon ambulances arrived to take the injured boys to the hospital and the situation began to calm down. Captain Khan led the three boys to the headmasters office and knocked on the door, "Enter." They heard the headmasters voice call from inside the room. They did. "Mum! Nate!" Both Seb and Theo shouted as they walked into the office. The two boys ran to embrace their mother and older brother as some tears were shed. Charlie regarded Nate curiously, his hair was alot shorter than in the picture he had seen of him. Seb was the first to ask, "What are you doing here?!" "Hey lil bro." Nate smiled down at Seb, "It's a long story and we will go through all of it but... first... there's something... " Nate looked at Mary. He had no idea how to do this. Mary returned his look and knew exactly how he felt. This was going to be difficult, "Boys... please sit down." Theo and Seb shared a frown and did as their mother said. Mary knelt down before them, "Now boys, this is going to come as a shock to you. This will probably be very confusing but please try to remain calm and know that all will be explained." Seb didn't like this. He had never seen his mother act this way. He instinctively reached for Charlies hand which was ready and waiting to give his a reassuring squeeze. Mary looked from Theo to Seb then back again. She knew there was no easy way to do this. She looked up at Nate and gave him a nod which he returned as he walked to the door of the headmasters study and opened it. He leaned his head in and said, "They're here." To someone they couldn't see. The two younger Carver brothers looked at the empty door frame wondering who would fill it. Neither of them in a million years would guess that it would be him that walked into view. Both of them stopped breathing. Both stared wide eyed at the man now standing before them. On a day when the unthinkable had happened the impossible now seemed merely improbable but still... this... this was something else. Anthony stood before the gathered members of his family and looked over them all. Nate was now used to him being back. Mary was clearly still struggling and his two younger sons and a boy holding Sebs hand had their jaws on the floor. About ten seconds of absolute silence passed with noone moving or even daring to make a sound. Eventually Seb slowly raised himself to his feet, holding onto Charlie for support. As he began to gingerly walk towards his father on shaking legs Charlie walked with him, himself dumbstruck by the form of a dead man standing before him. Seb stood in front of Anthony and with eyes wide reached up with his free hand to touch the mans face, "... ... ... D... ... Daddy?" He whispered. Anthony looked down at his youngest son and smiled while placing a hand on his boys head, "Hello my little Sebby." Seb instinctively rubbed his head into his fathers palm as Anthony looked over at a shocked Theo still sat in his chair, "Hello Thaythay." Theo stood as tears silently streamed down his cheeks. He approached slowly and much like his brother reached out to touch Anthony to make sure he was real... He was, "... I... I... " Was all he could say. Seb and Theo both began crying loudly as they grabbed their father and hugged him hard. All the months of pain and anguish flowed freely from them as they embraced the man they thought they had lost forever. Charlie stepped back as Mary and Nate joined the family group hug. The headmaster placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed, smiling down at the boy as together they watched the Carver family, finally reunited, all sobbing together. This was a moment that noone had any right to interru- Bang! The door to the headmasters office flew open and in walked bastard Borks. He looked around the room at them, his eyes stopping for a moment on Anthony before looking at the headmaster, "They're all dead now and the boys are back inside so I'm going home." "Reggie... " The headmaster was looking at the sack bastard Borks was holding, still red and dripping, "What's... in the bag?" Bastard Borks held it up, "Souvenirs." He looked at Anthony and nodded, "Carver." Anthony returned the nod, "Borks." "Back from the dead then?" "Yeah." "Huh... " Bastard Borks looked at Anthony for just a second, "Funny old world eh?" "Yeah... It is." Anthony replied. Bastard Borks looked back at the headmaster, "Well then. I'm off." He turned and left the room. The conversation that followed was a long one. Charlie helped the headmaster make tea whilst Anthony explained all that had happened to him; The attack in Brazil, the coma, the time he had spent at Steelrod and his and Nates escape. All the while he was talking Seb and Theo hung onto the man for dear life. Now they had him back they were never going to let go again. Eventually his story finished just in time for Doc to knock on the headmasters door with an update, "I have heard from Dr. Bolton." He noted to look of desperation on Theos face and looked directly at the boy as he told them all, "Jason Maxwell is in a stable condition. He will be fine." Theo let out a sigh of relief as Seb spoke up, "Doctor? What about Ricky?" Doc looked at Seb, "He is still in surgery but his injuries do not appear to be life threatening. I believe he will also make a full recovery." This was very welcome news to both Charlie and Seb however Doc continued, "Unfortunately... " Doc locked eyes with the headmaster, "... Tyler Jessop was dead before he arrived. There was nothing they could do." His words hung in the air. Nobody could bring themselves to speak. Doc knew this moment was difficult for all of them but he still had a job to do, "Benji... " The headmaster looked at him, "... We still have some news we must share with the Carver family." They all looked at the headmaster who seemed to remember something, "Oh... Oh yes we... we do... " He looked at Anthony and Mary, "I am so sorry. I know this isn't the best time but... There never will be. Please, all of you sit down. We must discuss why you were called here in the first place." ******** "What the hell are you talking about?!" Jenny Brown was angry. "My love it is for all of our protection." Tommy Jarvis explained as their car pulled into the parking lot, "They came way too close to finding us. This makes the most sense-" "Splitting up?! How the hell does that make sense?!" She demanded. "If we are together we are an easy target for them. This way we can avoid detection more easily." Tommy had decided Jenny would go to his safe house up state while he would go to his safe house in Virginia, "It's a temporary measure." He reached out and stoked her rough cheek, "I promise." Jenny was about to protest when the driver said, "Sir? We got company." Tommy and his men took their weapons in hand and watched the yellow cab drive up to them. Milton Paldry stepped out, paid the driver and approached their car as the cab drove away. After getting in the back with Tommy and Jenny he asked, "What do we do now sir?" Tommy looked at the flustered, fat little man, "I thought you'd died in the explosion." Paldry was surprised that Tommy had apparently been worried about him, "Oh. Oh err no sir. I got out. Thank you for caring-" "I didn't say I cared." Tommy turned to Jenny, "As I said it is a temporary measure. You go with Paldry here and I will come and join you when it is safe to do so." Jenny knew Tommys mind was made up, "Okay... But I'm in charge while you're away." Tommy laughed, "Of course my love." He turned to his men, "You got that?" "Yessir!" They both replied. He turned to Paldry, "Paldry?" Paldry looked at Jenny then back to Tommy, "Y... Yessir." "Good. Now get me a vehicle. We need to go our seperate ways." ******** "Principal Baxter, they're splitting up. One car is headed north and the other is heading west." Bellview reported, "We are doing our best to track them both but-" "Prioritse the bald one." Baxter ordered, "He's the man at the top." "Sir... We can't know that for cert-" "You have your orders." Baxter looked at the man sternly. "... Yessir." Bellview continued to instruct his team as Baxter continued to write eulogies. ******** Leukaemia. The word itself conjours up images of pain, suffering and death. As the news had been broken to Charlie and the Carver family about Sebs condition everyone reacted differently. Anthony insisted the doctors had made a mistake and they should check again noting there was no record of such an illness in the Carver family. Mary had grabbed her youngest boy and held him tightly to her crying loudly. Nate and Theo seemed unable to remove their hands from their younger brother and Charlie stood in shock looking at the strange changing expression on Sebs face. At first he was in shock, then slowly he began to realise this wasn't a joke in poor taste. This was real. Strangely he felt more curious than anything else, "So... What does that mean?" Seb looked from the doctor to the headmaster and back again, "Am I... " Seb gulped, "...Am I gonna... Die?" More loud wailing from his mother followed Sebs question as the doctor answered, "No. You're not going to die. Not anytime soon anyway and certainly not from this." He looked at Anthony, "We caught it early. With treatment he should be absolutely fine." Again the room was silent except for the cries of Mary Carver. Charlie approached Seb slowly as his bunk buddy looked up at him from the chair he was sat in. Charlie didn't know what he was supposed to say or do in this situation. All he knew is he wanted to help Seb somehow. Seb was the first to speak next and in his oh so Seb like fashion surprised them all when he looked at Charlie and said, "Sorry." Charlie managed to choke out the words, "S... Sorry? You're sorry? What are you talking about?!" Seb calmly replied, "Well, I dunno much about cancer but I do know the treatments can be brutal so... " Seb reached out and took Charlies hand in his own, "... It's probably gonna be pretty hard for a while. Since you're my bunk buddy that means it's gonna be pretty hard on you-" "That's enough!" Charlie shouted causing everyone to look at him, "Not this time! You always do this!" Seb seemed to be more shocked by Charlies outburst than the news he had just received, "I... What? What do I do?" "You're always putting yourself last! Always worrying about everyone else but never yourself!" Theo agreed, "Yeah. You do do that." Seb looked from Charlie to Theo and back again, "I... Do I?" "Yes!" Charlie asserted, "Not this time. This time we will all take care of you and there's nothing you can do about it!" Charlie was genuinely angry at Seb. He cared so deeply for his bunk buddy he couldn't bear the thought of Seb putting the same pressure on himself he always did. Not in his condition. Charlie looked at Theo, "Right?!" Theo nodded, "Hell yeah. Sorry lil bro but you aren't gonna deal with this on your own. We're all here for you. You don't get a choice. Charlie's right. Stop with the sorrys and putting on a brave face. We can all see through it." Seb looked around the room at them all. He was overcome with the love he felt for each and every one of them as they all looked back at him. Tears began to form in his eyes. He knew his facade was about to come crumbling down. The emotional wall he had built around himself when his father had 'died' was cracking. He could feel it creeping in. The fear, "I... I... " He began to sob as Charlie bent down and hugged him, "I... I'm s... " Seb let go, "... I'm... scared... " Charlie hugged Seb tighter as he sniffed trying to hold back his own tears. It was his turn to be strong for Seb, "I know. I know you are but you got me. You got all of us. We are all in this with you and we're not going anywhere. I promise." Charlie continued to hold Seb as the boy finally allowed himself to express all he was feeling freely. He cried in Charlies embrace for a long time. ******** "Hmmm... Ah! My fucking head! What the... " Donny Knox awoke to a splitting pain in his head where Caleb had smashed the bottle over it. He took a moment to remember what he could and realised he was tied to a chair, "Fuck... Oh fuck... Fuck fuck fuck!" He struggled against his binds but to no avail. Whoever had tied these knots knew what they were doing. Well, there was only one thing left to do. His tongue followed the back of his teeth to the fake one that contained his suicide capsule of cyani- Nothing there but a gap, "FUCK! AH!" Shouting had caused the pain in his head to throb. He had to think, 'Calm down... Just... Just calm down... There's gotta be a way out of this-' Click. The lights in the room came on as a door opened and a man walked in, "Ah. You're awake. Good." Donny said nothing to the filthy pedo scum so the pervert continued, "How's your head?" Donny seethed as the man before him seemed to think pretending to not be a monster would get him to talk. It wouldn't work, "You know, you are gonna be here a long time. Eventually you'll have to say something." Donny continued to stare at the man with a passionate rage burning inside him, "Let's start with our names. I'm Lucas. Lucas Walker." Donny spat on the floor before him. Lucas remained completely calm, "Okay then." Lucas turned and headed back towards the door he had come from. Before leaving the room he turned back, "I'll have the kitchen prepare you some food. Maybe you'll feel like talking after you've eaten." Lucas left the the room but left the lights on. Donny sat there for a moment trying to understand the situation. Was this part of the torture they would subject him to? Would there be poison in the food? Or maybe they thought they could butter him up to get information? Well it wasn't going to work! He would never crack! He could last forever! He didn't know at the time that forever would be about three months... ******** On a cold February Sunday morning on the grounds of Rockstaff the boys gathered for the dedication ceremony. A small monument had been erected to commemorate the lives lost on that awful day months before when the 'not friendly' had launched their attack. As boys filed past laying a single flower each they could see the names of those who were killed inscribed on a plaque. Charlie first laid his flower down before helping Seb bend over to lay his. He was a little unsteady on his feet and struggled to stand back up but Charlie helped him. As he did he felt Seb shivering, "You're cold. We should go in." "N n no I... I'm f f fine." Seb tried to dismiss Charlies concerns, "We should b b be here for this-" "Headmaster." Charlie ignored Seb, "Sir, Sebs cold. I think I should take him back inside." The headmaster looked at Charlie and nodded his approval. Charlie turned back to Seb, "Come on." "Really Ch ch charlie I-" "Seb!" Charlie looked at his bunk buddy sternly, "You're shivering." Seb had learned over the past three months not to argue with Charlie when he thought he was doing something for his health, "... Okay." The two boys made the long, cold walk back to the main building, Seb holding onto Charlies arm for support. He didn't always need Charlies help, mainly just after one of his treatments. The first month had been the worst of it so far but still, chemotherapy is something you never get used to. Their first stop was the kitchen. Given Sebs condition the two boys were afforded special rights and privileges that other boys weren't. One they had been taking alot of advantage of through the cold winter months was all the hot chocolates they could drink. After enjoying their warming beverages they returned to their room. Charlie helped Seb undress and tucked him into bed before leaving the room with Sebs now cold hot water bottle. He returned with it freshly filled and piping hot again. He slipped it under the covers at Sebs feet and asked, "There. You warm enough? Can I get you anything?" Seb smiled up at him, "I guess a hug wouldn't go amiss." Charlie smiled back and laid down next to Seb. He wrapped his arms around him, "One hug. As requested." It didn't take long for Seb to drift off to sleep. The poor boy was so tired. He still put on a brave face for the other lads but he knew he didn't have to with Charlie so when they were alone he felt relaxed. This meant he would often drift off but that was fine with Charlie. With everything he was going through Seb needed his rest. Charlie carefully and quietly got up from the bed and left the room. His plan was to return to the dedication ceremony but on his way he saw something strange. It was Mr. Walker carrying a tray with some food on it. He was walking rather fast and not in the direction of the mess hall. Charlie decided to follow him. Following Mr. Walker along the long winding halls of Rockstaff Charlie wondered where he could possibly be going. He watched as Mr. Walker finally stopped in front of a door and opened it. He walked through and disappeared from site. Charlie managed to hurriedly catch the door before it closed again. Looking through he saw some stairs leading down to what he assumed must be the basement. Until this moment he hadn't even known Rockstaff had a basement but it made sense a big old building like this would. He crept down the stairs and at the bottom he found himself in a long, dark hallway with locked doors on either side... No. Not just locked doors. Charlie had seen enough movies and TV shows to recognise the door to a cell when he saw one, 'What the hell could Rockstaff need with a place like this?' He thought as he walked along the corridor. Further on he began to hear the voice of Mr. Walker talking to someone, "... here for three months now. Why do you insist on dragging this out? All I want to do is talk with you. Would that really be so bad?" Charlie peeked his head around the open door frame into the one open cell from which he could hear Mr. Walkers words. Inside he saw the back of Mr. Walker turned to him and sitting on a bed with his wrist chained to a wall he saw- "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Charlie screamed causing Mr. Walker and the murderous scum to both look at him. Charlies eyes locked with Mr. Walkers, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! HE'S ONE OF THEM!" "Hibbs!" Mr. Walker was shocked to see the boy, "Hibbs just calm dow-" "FUCK NO!" Charlie had never been so furious in his life, "THEY TRIED TO KILL US. THEY DID KILL SOME OF US AND HERE YOU ARE FEEDING HIM?!" "Charlie you don't understa-" "YES I DO! WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE?! WHY HAVEN'T YOU KILLED HIM?!" Donny knox laughed and said the first words he had in months, "Pedo spawn is right. Do it. Kill me." Mr. Walker looked back at Donny shocked he had finally spoken, "I've spent the last three months explaining that isn't who or what we are. We are the 'friendly'. Murder isn't our fortes-" "Yeah I listened to your lies." Donny said, "Thing is I know who and what you are. Me and my brother were sold to one of you when we were kids. I was forced to watch as his skin was ripped off while he screamed and begged to be killed just to stop the pain. Instead you cunts poured acid on his wounds. Yeah... I know very fucking well who and what you are. I was just lucky enough to be saved from you by the bos-" He stopped talking realising he had said too much. "No. You don't know us." Mr. Walker began, "You have been lied to-" "WHO GIVES A SHIT?! JUST FUCKING KILL HIM!" Charlie shouted, "HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIV-" A hand was placed on Charlies shoulder. He looked up to see the face of Anthony Carver, "Calm down right now." He spoke with a calm authority that Charlie couldn't resist. Anthony looked at Mr. Walker then at Donny, "So that's it... I think I understand." He looked at Mr. Walker again, "Lucas, I'll take Hibbs here to the headmasters office for a chat. Now our guest is speaking perhaps you could explain just how wrong he is about what he just said." Mr. Walker nodded and Anthony led Charlie away. After knocking on the headmasters door and getting permission to use his study both Anthony and Charlie sat at the table with hot cups of sweet tea before them. Charlie was furious but waited for Anthony to speak first, "You remind me of me." Not what Charlie expected to hear, "Huh? How's that?" "What you said." Anthony sipped his tea, "About him not deserving to live. I used to feel the same way-" "How could you not?!" Charlie demanded, "They shot bullets at us! At YOUR sons!" "Hib-... Charlie." Anthony reached across the table and took Charlies hand in his own, "Please remain calm. This situation is very complicated. Even those of us who know the most about it still don't know everything." He sat back in his chair and sighed deeply, "When I first learned of the existence of the 'not friendly' my headmaster told me something I didn't appreciate at the time but over the years and... losing so many friends... I have come to. He said that wars may begin when you wish but rarely do they end when you want. I admit in that moment I thought he was being a coward. I was too young and foolish to see he was right. It took many years for me to see it but Charlie, the man in that cell is a victim-" "No he isn't!" Charlie couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Darren Lewis was a victim! Tyler Jessop was a victim! All the people they killed are victims and he is a murderer!" Anthony looked at Charlies anger with a deep sadness in his heart. How could he possibly help the boy understand, "On the surface your observations seem correct but like with many things in life I'm afraid it isn't that straight forward." Charlie was dumbstruck so Anthony continued, "Imagine for a moment that you had suffered what he described. You heard what he said about his brother?" Charlie nodded, "Right. That would be awful wouldn't it? If someone had done that to Billy?" Charlies eyes went wide with fear, "Now imagine someone comes along and saves you from those people and offered you revenge against the those who had done it. What would you do?" Charlie looked down at his steaming cup of tea then back up at Anthony, "Be honest." "I... I would... "Charlie could feel Anthonys eyes looking directly into his soul. He knew he couldn't lie to the man, "I'd kill them all. Every last one of them." Anthony nodded, "Yep. Now imagine the person that saved you had lied to you. Imagine they told you it was the 'friendly' who had done that to Billy-" "But we would NEVER do that!" Charlie protested. "But you don't know that." Anthony said, "Not in this hypothetical situation. All you know is your brother was tortured to death in front of you and the person that saved you from the same fate has told you it was the 'friendly' that did it. Why wouldn't you believe the man that saved your life?" Charlie had no answer. He knew Anthony was right. If anyone ever harmed a single hair on Billys head he wouldn't stop until those responsible drowned in their own blood. He would be blinded by rage... and he knew it. He realised something, "...The change... " "Hmm?" Anthony sipped his tea and swallowed, "What's that?" "The headmaster said... Well, when we asked him about the 'not friendly' he mentioned the change. He said noone really knew what happened but the way the 'not friendly' did things changed overnight. He said all the boys they had as prisoners disappeared... Are you telling me that... " "The man we currently have in that cell was one of those boys?" Anthony was impressed by Charlies logical thinking, "I belive that is the case yes. It was one of the theories we had been working under for a while now and it seems that our guest has just confirmed it." Charlie sat there confused. He didn't know how to handle these conflicted feelings. He had nothing but resentment and hatred for the 'not friendly' but... If what Anthony was telling him was true... That would mean he couldn't... Blame them? ... No... No this... This was all wrong, "But... But they want to kill us!" Amazingly Anthony chuckled, "My god. So much like me. I said almost the exact same thing. But like I just told you, I was young and foolish. I know you must feel very confused right now and that is perfectly normal but I promise you, you will come to understand in time. In the meantime I must ask you to trust us." He once again squeezed Charlies hand, "And now I must ask if I can trust you." Charlie knew what was coming, "You must keep this to yourself Hibbs. Noone can know he is here." Charlie nodded, "Yessir but... What about seb? Can i tell him?" Anthony thought for a moment, "Well, he is your bunk buddy so of course you may tell him... but I would advise you think long and hard about it first. Do you think he needs any extra stress right now?" "No." Charlie shook his head, "No I don't wanna do anything that would upset him... I... I think I'll keep this to myself." "Good lad." Anthony smiled then looked at his watch, "It'll be lunch soon. Why don't you head to the kitchen and grab your lunches." Charlie nodded again and stood up. Charlie and Seb had taken to eating most of their meals in their room when Seb wasn't feeling up to eating in the mess hall. He walked to the door and stopped before turning back to ask another question that had just occurred to him, "Sir? Why are there cells in the basement?" "They are used for training agents of networking and connections." Anthony noted the blank expression on Charlies face, "Ah. The headmaster kept that to himself when you talked with him about the 'not friendly'... I see. Well, that is what i do. Nate also. We help those who are like us, the 'friendly', and we bring them somewhere safe. Into a hub or another 'friendly' place. We used to save the boys held by the 'not friendly' until the change. Now we mostly fight the war against them. In those cells we simulate being captured and interrogated to prepare agents for the field should the worst happen." He regarded Charlie for a moment, "... I wonder... " "Sir?" Charlie asked. "Hmm? Oh nothing. You can go now Hibbs." Anthony smiled. He left the room leaving Anthony to continue pondering the thought of Charlie one day becoming an agent of NAC. ******** "Goddammit!" Baxter looked at his phone for the third time in ten minutes and was disappointed to see no missed calls or new messages from Bellview. He had left specific orders to be notified the moment they got a hit on the man they had been calling 'Baldy'. Vacation or no vacation, he still wanted to be kept informed. His obsession with his phone hadn't gone unnoticed by his firend John, "Come on Ced. Put the phone down. You're on vacation... And at the dinner table." John smiled. Baxter knew he was right, "Yeah... Yeah I'm sorry. That's very rude of me." He turned his phone off for the first time in months determined to follow the doctors advice and actually relax during his two weeks away from Steelrod academy. He trusted his team and knew they would keep everything running smoothly while he was away. Staying with his former NAC partner and his family really had been a lovely time and he was thankful, "Thanks so much for having me. I would have been bored out of my mind if I went on vacation alone." "Come on man, the number of times you saved my ass you know you're always welcome." John turned to his wife May, "Did I ever tell you about the time we-" "I don't even need to hear the end of that sentence to say yes, many times." May cut him off. Cedric, John, May and their two sons Bobby and Tommy laughed. Fourteen year old Bobby spoke up, "I'd like to hear it again." His ten year old brother Tommy agreed, "Yeah! Tell us dad!" John looked at May who sighed and gave him an approving nod. John smiled and looked at Cedric, "Remember Panama?" "Oh god how could I forget?" Cedric turned to the boys, "You know your dad is the only person I ever saw using a chilli pepper as a weapon." John laughed, "Hey, it was effective and you can't argue with results." After an evening of food, drinks and old war stories shared around the table it was time to go to bed. Tommy elbowed Bobby and nodded to their father. The boys had a question, "Umm... Hey dad?" John looked at his eldest son, "Are you and mom... " "Still trying for another baby?" Everyone at the table knew what the boys were really asking. John looked at Cedric and smiled, "Yes. Yes we are." Bobby and Tommy shared a cheeky smile before looking at Cedric, "Uncle Ced? You umm... " Tommy nudged Bobby to get him to continue, "... You wanna sleep with us tonight?" Cedric smiled at the two beautiful brown haired boys, "I would be delighted. Thank you." After the dishes had been cleared away and all goodnights had been said everyone retired to their respective rooms except Tommy and Cedric who went with Bobby to his bedroom. The boys play fought on the bed and giggled as they argued over who would do what with Cedric. He decided to step in and assert his authority, "Excuse me boys but as the principal of Steelrod academy I believe those decisions are mine to make." The brothers shared a cheeky grin as Bobby pointed out, "We're not at school right now PRINCIPAL haha." "Yeah haha. And I don't start til next school year." Tommy added. "Well i suppose if you don't mind running laps every morning for a month when you do arrive back at Steelrod that's fine." Cedric said then laughed at the expressions on their faces, "I'm kidding." The boys relaxed. "Uncle Ced that was mean." Bobby said, "You know I hate running laps." Cedric smiled as he sat on the bed with the two lads, "I know but it does give you sexy legs." He squeezed the calf muscle of Bobbys leg as Tommy began to remove his clothes. Soon all three of them were naked. Cedric lay on the bed and the two boys lay with him, one on each side. He ruffled their hair and kissed each of them, "In all seriousness though, what would you boys like to do?" The brothers looked at each other and shared a cheeky grin before Bobby looked back at Cedric, "Well, we've been practising Tommy taking a cock for the first time and-" "Nope." Cedric shut that idea down immediately, "Did you forget me and your father discuss everything? I know he will do that himself on your eleventh birthday young man." "Aww man!" Tommy was disappointed. "Trust me." Cedric pulled the boys face close to his own, "Something like that is very special and worth waiting for. You will be glad you did as you look into your fathers eyes as he moves inside you the first time. Okay?" Tommy nodded, "Good boy. Now kiss me." Tommy smiled and joined his lips with Cedrics. Their tongues explored each others mouths while Bobby moved his head down to Cedrics crotch. Once there he playfully licked the precum soaked head before sucking the bulbous mushroom fully into his mouth, "Hmmmm... " Cedric moaned appreciatively into the ten year old boys mouth before the lad broke the kiss. "Uncle Ced?" Tommys bright blue eyes sparkled, "Will you suck me?" Cedric smiled, "Of course. Climb up on me." Tommy shifted around so his cute little butt rested on Cedrics chest. The mans mouth opened to accept the hard little boy cock that was so desperate for attention. As he began sucking the cocklet Bobby removed Cedrics cock from his own mouth to give his little brother some advice, "No bro. Remember? When a guy is laid down like that he can't move much so you gotta move your hips more." Tommy began moving his hips from side to side, "No not like that... Look, lemme show you." Bobby got up on his knees beside them and placed his hand on his little brothers butt, "Okay, just move like this... " Using his hand to guide the young boy he helped him work himself into a steady rythm fucking cedrics mouth, "... there you go. See? That's better right?" "Hmmm yeah. Yeah it is." Tommy replied, "Thanks bro." Bobby smiled, "Hey dude. What are big bros for?" He leaned in and began making out with Tommy. Cedric continued sucking the young boys dick while watching the erotic display takong place above him. He reached out and wrapped his fingers around Bobbys hard fourteen year old member and began rubbing, "Hmmm... " Both Bobby and Tommy moaned into each others mouths while cedrics other hand found his own cock and began stroking. Using Bobbys precum to lube up the lads dick Cedric began to tease the sensitive tip of his cock head with his thumb causing the boy to shudder and move his lips away from Tommys, "Hooooffffuck... hmmm you're really good at that uncle Ced." Cedric let Tommys cock slip from his mouth, "You know your dad showed me this little trick." He said before sucking it back in. "It's ha!... it's good." Said Bobby wrapping one arm around the younger boys back. As Tommy continued to fuck Cedrics face Bobbys mouth found his little brothers. Their tongues danced as Bobby began to play with the young boys nipples. Cedric loved these boys and pleasuring them both like this really was the highlight of his vacation. He continued to suck on Tommys cock and soon it began to twitch as Tommy squealed in delight, "Mmmaaahhhh! ... unc... uncaahhh!" The young lads body jerked as he orgasmed. Bobby wasn't far behind shooting his hot teen load all over Cedrics face. Cedric being a lover of facials immediately came himself coating the backside of Bobby. The two boys fell off of Cedric and lay on the bed, little Tommy still held in his big brothers arms. Cedrics came down from his sexual high just in time to see the two beautiful angels fall asleep. He smiled, wrapped his arms around them both and covered them all in the blanket before falling asleep himself. ******** Tommy jarvis trudged through the two feet of snow that covered the ground after the freak snowstorm that had raged the night before. He hated the cold. Perhaps this was why he had decided it was time to reunite with those he had ordered into hiding months before. Approahing the public phone he inserted two quarters and dialled the numbers. After ringing for just a few seconds Paldry answered, "Yessir?" "It's time. Is the regrouping complete?" Tommy wanted to keep this short. "Yessir. All the men have reported in." "How many do we have left?" Paldry hesitated for a moment befor answering, "We... We have twenty eight men left sir." "That's all?!" Tommy had expected at least forty. Those friendly fuckers must have really done a number on the team he sent to Rockstaff, "For fuck sake... Okay. I am leaving tomorrow. Call ahead to the usual motel and I'll stop there overnight." "Yessir." "Oh, and paldry?" "Sir?" "How is she?" "She misses you sir. Very much." paldry replied. Tommy smiled, "Good. Tell her I'll see her soon and let her know I have a new plan." "A new plan sir?" "I'll tell you all about it when I get there." Tommy hung up and walked back to his truck. ******** "You get all that?" Bellview asked. "Yes sir. We have it recorded." A young woman replied. "Good. I'll inform principal baxter we got a hit. Monitor the other line. Let's see which motel he calls." ******** "Shhh... Quiet. We don't wanna wake him up yet." Said Bobby to his younger brother. "Okay. Sorry. Here." Tommy whispered as he handed Bobby the lube. The boys thought Cedric was still asleep and he was curious to know what they had planned so just played along. He felt the warm soft hand of a boy wrapping it's lubed up fingers around his morning wood. Slowly and carefully the lad coated the hard member before saying to his brother, "Okay. So you watched me stretch right?" Cedric assumed tommy nodded, "Alright well now watch this. What you wanna do is take out the butt plug then immediately put the cock inside... " Cedric felt Bobbys weight on top of him, "... and... Hmmmm... Ahhh... " Cedrics cock slipped up inside the hot tight hole of the teenager. He opened his eyes and smiled at the lad, "Well this is a nice way to wake up." Bobby smiled back, "Morning uncle ced. I hope you don't mind, I wanted to show Tommy how i take a cock." "Of course not." More of his dick slipped inside the boy, "You're a good older brother teaching him. As your principal I'm just glad I can help." Bobby looked at Tommy, "See? See how it's going in easy?" Little Tommy was looking intently at the large man cock currently working its way inside his big brothers asshole. He rubbed his own hard little cock as he nodded. Bobby continued the lesson, "Right well, that's cos I made sure to stretch properly first. Now what you wanna do is get it as far in as you can... hnnnggg... ahhh... ther... there we go. See how... phew! See how it's all the way in?" "Yeah." Tommy said still unable to look away from the tight hole stretched around the lubed up shaft. "Well that's called balls deep. Once you get balls deep you wanna wait for a bit to get used to the cock being up there." "And while you wait... " Cedric grabbed Bobbys hard dick, "... you should make sure to pleasure the person taking the dick." He began to masturbate the boy. The tingling pleasure caused him to shudder a little. After a few minutes the lad looked into Cedrics eyes and smiled, "Yeah? You ready?" Bobby nodded, "Okay then." Cedric sat up and wrapped the boy in his muscular arms. He looked at tommy, "Pay attention now, I'm gonna start fucking him." Cedric liffted the boy slowly then let him fall back on his cock causing Bobby to moan as the cock head glided across his special spot, "Hmmm... Th there. That's it." "Huh?" Tommy kept rubbing his own hard cock, "That's what?" Cedric continued to slowly pump his cock in and out of the boy as he explained to Tommy, "There's a little spot up inside that... unnngg... that feels really good when you touch it. Your brother here... haaahhh fuck you're tight... ahhh... your brother is enjoying that right now. You see his face when i push in?" Tommy saw Bobbys face had become a vision of bliss, "Yeah. Looks like he really likes it." The little boy obseverd. Cedric looked at the face of the angel he was currently making love to and smiled himself as he increased the speed at which he was repeatedly penetrating him, "Yes he does... hmmm... Oh man... Your ass is so fucking hot!" "Th thanks uncle Cedaaahhhh!" Replied Bobby as Cedric really began to pump away at the boy. His hard teen member slipping up and down inside cedrics fist in time with the dick currently ramming into that oh so special spot that all boys love to be stimulated, "Ah ah ah... Oh fuck uncle Ced! Ahhh!" Cedric could tell the lad was close. Hell, he was getting close himself- "Oooooooohhhh... " He was distracted by the shuddering naked body of the ten year old boy watching them fuck as the little lad enjoyed his dry orgasm. The look of serenity coming over Tommys face was one of the most adorable things he had seen in a long time. Not long agter he felt the familiar tightening of Bobbys ring around his cock as the teenager shot his hot boy cream over his chest and tummy, "Aaaahhhh! Aaahhh! Aaaahhhhhhhh!" The teenagers body shook as he came. All of this combined to push Cedric to his own climax and he enjoyed the sensation of shooting his seed deep inside the boys bowels, "Grrr! Hunnngggggg!.... Ahh... Ahhhh...aaahhhhh... ohhh good... Good boy." Bobby who was coming back to his senses, "Smiled at cedric, "Th... Thanks uncle Ced." Their lips met and they shared a passionate kiss. After this impromptu sex education lesson all three of them cleaned up and went to the kitchen for breakfast wishing john and May, "Good morning." May smiled and put a hot cup of coffee on the table before Cedric, "It certainly sounded like you three had a good morning." "Oh yeah!" Said Bobby, "Mom? Do we have any OJ? "I'll get you glass." John said before looking at his youngest son, "You want some too?" "Yes please daddy." Tommy sat down at the table. All five of them enjoyed breakfast while chatting about their plans for the day. While may took care of the dishes John chuckled looking at Cedric causing him to ask, "What's so funny?" "I just haven't seen you this relaxed in years." John liked to see this vacation had done Cedric a world of good, "You haven't looked at your phone once." "Oh shit!" Cedric took his phone out of his pocket. He had forgotten to switch it back on after dinner last night. After it had loaded it began blowing up with notifications from Bellview. He saw the missed calls, noted messages about him having voice mails and finally the single text message, 'Hit on baldy'. John saw the expression on Cedrics face change, "You have to go don't you?" Cedric looked at John, "I'm sorry." "Don't be. We understand." May stood behind John and placed her hand on his shoulder. John placed his hand on hers, "We know what you are doing and we support you completely." After Cedric had hurriedly packed his bag he was saying goodbye to May, Bobby and tommy while John waited in his truck to drive him to the airport. As he hugged May goodbye she said into his ear, "When you find him, don't ask why, don't take him alive... just put your gun to his head and pull the fucking trigger. End this. For all of us." "That's the plan." Cedric responded. In the truck on the way to the airport Cedric took out his phone again and apologised to John for being so rude, sorry but I gotta make this call." "Nah you go ahead. Don't worry about me." John had assured him. He dialled the numbers and waited and when the answer came he simply said, "Ant... We have his location." ******** Three of the gathered men laughed. Bastard Borks didn't. He just simply sipped his whiskey while looking into the flames of the fireplace in the headmasters study. Benji caught his breath from chuckling to say, "Oh I've missed this. How long has it been since we all enjoyed a nightcap together?" "Too long." Lucas replied. "Mmm." Anthony made a noise of agreement as he sipped his own whiskey. He swallowed, "So Lucas. What has our guest said now he's actually talking?" "Three fucking months... "Bastard Borks didn't approve of what he called the softly softly approach Benji had decided on when dealing with their guest. He also didn't like them calling him guest rather than prisoner, "If you'd given him to me he would have sung in three hours." Benji smiled, "Reggie, you know we discussed this-" "Yeah i know! My memory ain't shit like yours!" Borks shot back. A long silence fell over them and was broken when Benji remembered something, "Reggie... I spoke with captain Khan recently. He told me something I found interesting... " "... For fuck sake Benji!" Bastard borks hated how Benji never got to the fucking point, "Get there faster!" Benji calmly continued, "He told me that on that terrible day, he was about to give you an order but you volunteered yourself before he did... Why?" Borks scowled at his former bunk buddy, "I told you when I left the service I would cut the throat of any man that ever tried to order me to do anythinng ever again." Benji regarded Reggied for a few seconds before saying, "Well, the Reggie I know would have just let the man seal his fate by ordering him do somethi-" "I like him okay?!" Borks finished his scotch and placed his glass down on the table hard while standing up," He is one of the very few of you cunts that's actually worth a damn. I didn't wanna cut his throat... I... I didn't feel like it." Benji had a small smile on his face as he responded, "Very well." Anthonys phone began to ring. He looked at it, "It's Baxter." He answered, "Cedric, how can i hel- ... ... ... I'm on my way." He hung up the phone and looked at the other men in the room, "They got a hit on him, the man at the top." "Go." Benji said. Anthony stood up and left the room while dialling his wifes number to tell her he was flying out to the states immediately. After he had left Borks looked at Benji, "I suppose you want to find that bald fucker and bring him round for a fucking tea party just like the other one don't you?!" For an extremely rare moment Benjamin Roses expression became stern, "Oh no... Not him... Him we will eliminate... " He drank the last of the scotch in his glass before placing his empty glass down on the table next to Reggies finishing his sentence with an even rarer display of vulgar language, "... with extreme fucking prejudice." AUTHORS NOTE: Hey all. Sorry for the delay on this chapter. I have been ridiculously busy with real life stuff which has left me very little time to write. The situation is still quite chaotic so i am afraid the next chapter will also take more than a week but rest assured it will be uploaded when it is ready. I have received numerous messages asking me if I am continuing with the story at all and I want to take this opportunity to assure you all that no matter what I will finish this story. I don't care how long it takes me I will complete it so even if there seems to be a long time between chapters don't worry, it's coming. After The belated education of Charlie Hibbs is finished I have a couple of short stories I want to get out of my system before embarking on another large project like this but i promise we will be returning to Rockstaff and when we do little Billy will be starting his first day there. There is a very long term plan in place I assure you. have a great day all and as always thanks for reading x. Edgar Friendly
