Colin and his Hitchhikers   Part VII  -  After Thanksgiving

After all was said and done Thanksgiving was just a great time for all.
The following week Jimmy as was his practice walked his Nana out to her
car.

"Thank you for the diner Nana it was great... you always make it great."

"Thank you Jimmy, You are most welcome."

Jimmy stood there for a moment with his hand on the handle of car door;
seemly pondering how to pose what he was thinking.

In a quite shy voice which definitely was not Jimmy, "Say Nana ... ahh do
you think you could get me...ahh my own trash basket and tissue box?" He
asked with his head down.

"Why Jimmy does this mean what I think it means?"

He smiled a big smile and shook his head up and down.

Nana smiled, "Why of course Jimmy, every boy needs his own waste basket and
tissue box. My, this must be exciting for you; thank you for sharing it
with me, especially in such a grown up and polite manner. You are becoming
quite the young man. Should I say congratulations."

Jimmy beamed and hugged his Nana. "I love you Nana."

"And I you Jimmy, tomorrow you'll have your own tissue box and basket. Does
anyone else know?"

Jimmy said "Nope"

"Well, I am honored, shall we let the others figured it out with the tissue
box and basket.?"

"Yes, mam."

OK then, So Jimmy, are you going to open the door for me now, young sir."

"Yes, Nana, I'm sorry to be slowing you down."

"You gave me wonderful news, that you are growing up and you will never be
an imposition." Nana kissed Jimmy on his cheek as he held the door open.

Jimmy waved as Nana went down the drive soon to be out of sight. He had a
kind of bounce to his step as he walked back inside and he tried and was
able to whistle a bit.


 The boys settled into their life in Pine Hill. Christmas that year was
just awesome. Not for the presents received but for the love of their new
family. Pops of course was their benefactor with help from Uncle Robbie and
Uncle Chris and their Nana was the most loving woman God had put on this
earth. Colin had surprised them and gave Josh his batting cage & pitching
machine at least a picture of it on paper; Jimmy got his fenced in
basketball court. There was a ton of work to be done but they were ecstatic
that the dream was to be a reality. Josh and Jimmy had made good friends,
life long friends in Pine Hill; where ever they went the sleepy little town
in the mountains of New York was always home base and their sanctuary.

Basketball Tournament Basketball season was winding down at the end of
March. For the first time ever, both Pine Hill teams were invited to the
regional grammar school tournament. It was held in the Albany field house
of NYU University. Compared to the gym the boys had been playing in it was
huge. Pops did the Houser's trick and had them measure the height of the
basket, then the width of the floor.

"Just like our gym back home eh boys."

The eight best teams throughout the region were chosen. Little Pine Hill
with Jimmy leading the way rolled into the final on a 15 game winning
streak. The opposition was hated Platsburb with a school 4 times the size
of little Pine Hill. What Colin, Jimmy, Tommy and coach knew was that they
had beat them once and all sword they could do it again. Jimmy was on fire;
he like Josh had his dad's warrior heart. He rose to the occasion like
never before hitting 3 pointers from all over the court. Tommy added a
couple too off of passes from Jimmy.  Halfway through the 4th quarter Pine
Hill was up by 12 points; Platsburg was demoralized and the game was about
to become a rout. Jimmy was bringing the ball up court when the biggest and
fattest kid on either side deliberately ran into Jimmy and knocked him
down. The refs blew their whistles and called a foul on the big kid. Then
as the fat boy got up he deliberately stepped on Jimmy's ankle and kind of
jumped on it. More Whistles but the damage had been done. As Jimmy went to
get up he immediately fell back down. Colon, Coach and Doc Elsberry rushed
out to him. Doc took his time examining Jimmy's foot.

"Without xrays it's hard to be certain but I think it is just a bad
sprain. I'm sorry Jimmy, no more basketball for you today. Let's get you to
the bench and wrap it in ice."

The Platsburg coach was irate, he went up to the offending player and
demanded his Jersey. Shouting at the top of his lungs for the whole
assembly to hear,

"Hennesy, you will never play another sport at Platsburg as long as I am
coach. That was despicable. If we have to win that way; we don't win."

The game continued 2 free throws for Pine Hill and they got the ball. Tommy
made one and missed one and then Platsburg stole the ball. So, Pine Hill up
by 13 with half the quarter to go. It quickly became 11 as the boy who
stole the boy scored on his layup. Coach called time out.

"Ok so you guys have to win one for Jimmy, now slow down offense, tight
defense, get the rebounds and you'll be regional champions."

 The Platsburg coach was upset with Hennesy but it energized the rest of
the team. Tommy was now the best player for Pine Hill and he was only a
little above average. Pine Hill was dejected with Jimmy on the bench, They
couldn't make a shot. Platsburg taking a page out of Pine Hill's book went
to a fast break offense and all of a sudden with 10 seconds left Platsburg
had a 2 point lead. Pine Hill called time out.

Colin and Coach decided it was going to be win or lose on a 3 pointer by
Tommy. Jimmy was sitting next to Tommy on the bench.

"Just relax think of being out on the play ground at school. You made tons
of 3 pointers there. Let me have you glasses."

"Why are you taking my glasses, Jimmy?"

"Hmm, just as I thought all kinds of sweat and dirt. Get a towel."

Tommy rushed back with one. "There now clean as a whistle, go win us a
championship, specs."

Tommy looked back at Jimmy's smiling confident face. Jimmy nodded his head
like "go on do it."

The horn to resume play sounded. The play was simple, they had run it a
thousand times that year, of course, then it was to Jimmy. The ball was
brought up court by Tommy, Platsburg was staying back in their zone. Tommy
passed to Kevin, Platsburg converged on him. He passed back to Tommy. 3
seconds, 2 seconds, no one was close to Tommy he shot the ball, one second
the final horn sounded. The ball was bouncing around on the rim for an
eternity. Then it circled around the rim and dropped though. The thousand
Platsburg fans groaned, the couple hundred Pine Hill fans let out a roar.

Tommy jumped 5 feet into the air. All his team was there to mob him. They
pounded his back, he ran to the bench. Jimmy was there smiling.

"Nice shot, it took a while for it to fall though but it was beautiful."

"Hey, thanks for cleaning the glasses. I never would have done it. But from
now on you take those shots, I was scared shitless." Tommy turned around
and showed Jimmy his backside. "Is anything showing through."

"Nah, you're all good. You're the hero of the game."

The team went into the locker room. Tommy helped Jimmy undress and he was
there for Jimmy to lean on as they went to shower. Afterward he helped
Jimmy get dressed.

Tommy's brother, John came in and said, "Coach wants you to dress for the
7th and 8th grade game. That was a big clutch basket you made."

"Yeah well part of the credit goes to Jimmy. He cleaned my glasses. They
were filthy with sweat. I never would have thought of it."

Jimmy piped up, "Yeah just us O'Shea's always thinking."

Tommy and John just smiled.

"Hey, ya gotta be good out there tonight John. Ya gotta help Josh, I wish I
could but I can't so, you gotta."

John was quite for a moment, kind of thinking if he had it in him. "I'll do
my best, you can be sure of it Jimmy."

The 7th & 8th grade championship game was a war, real hard nose
basketball. Defense and rebounding were key. Platsburg had a big advantage
they could shuffle in 10 12 players and still play the same game with no
fall off in the quality of their game. Pine Hine was not so lucky, they had
5 quality players and the subs were way less of a team.  John true to his
word did his best to help Josh. Except, he was a little too
aggressive. When a Platsburg player pushed him to get a rebound, John
pushed back and got called for a foul. Josh told him to calm down relax we
are gonna win this. Going into the 4th quarter John had 4 fouls. The
Platsburb player again pushed John and there was no whistle. John lost it
and pushed him back.  5 fouls and John was out of the game. Josh had been a
demon getting rebounds, starting the break and racing down the court for
the trailer play. In the half court he was relentless rebounding and
getting put back basket after put back. Platsburg tried double teaming him
all over the court Josh beat that with deadly passes to Jacky or John for
easy layin baskets. The score was 40 to 40 when John got the 5th foul. Josh
had 20 of the Pine hill points. John hung his head as he walked off knowing
he never should have pushed the kid back. He was just too hyped up and
trying to do too much. One of the 8th graders went in for him. The
conditioning of Pops had kept Pine Hill in the game but it was obvious they
were tired and Platsburg was mostly very fresh from rotating players in and
out.

The Platsburg player made both foul shots. On offense it was Josh again
getting a screen from Jacky for a little jump shot from the side of the
key. Tie game. Again Plastburg scored; Billy put up a 3 pointer and missed
but Josh was there to rebound and put it back in. Time after time as the
clock wound down Platsburg scored and was answered by Josh. At the one
minute mark Platsburg called time to set up a play and after the time out
Platsburg scored. They lead 54 to Pine Hill's 52 - 20 seconds left in the
game. Time out Pine Hill. Coach inserted Tommy into the game everyone
thought is was a 3 point shot to win. The Platsburg coach was going crazy
trying to get his guys to cover little Tommy. Except Pine Hill swung the
ball from Tommy to Billy to Jacky to a wide open Josh for his side
jumper. Tie game. The buzzer sounded and into overtime they went. Every
Platsburg basket was answered by Josh throughout the first, second and
third overtimes. At the direction of Doc Elsberry cold water was being
poured on the Pine Hill players to keep them from heat exhaustion. The game
little school especially Josh had no quit in them. At the end of every time
out before going back on the court, he would quietly say,

" we are going to win this, keep playing hard."

The Platsburg team was grumbling on their bench "that kid has to be dead
tired he has played the entire game. Still he always answers every time we
score. How are we gonna stop him coach."

"I don't know that we can; for sure he has the heart of a champion. We just
gotta keep playing our game."

The 4th overtime was a repeat of the other 3 Platsburg scored Josh answered
on a rebound put back or the fast break trailer play.  The whole field
house started to cheer each basket no matter which team made it. Again the
last minute, and again Platsburg scored and was up by 2 points. 18 seconds
left; time out Pine Hill.  Jimmy was going crazy on the bench. He was
hopping around on his one good leg. Pops and Doc told him to sit down.

"Let me in Pops. I can do it, I can shoot it. Please coach, please pops,
Josh is dying out there let me help. I'll make it; I swear I'll make it."

Coach looked at Pops; Pops looked at Doc. Doc put his head on his chest and
took a minute, then looked back at Pops and shook his head no. As much as
he wanted, he could not let Jimmy jeopardize doing a major injury to that
ankle. Jimmy saw the progression and hopped over to Doc. Tears in his eyes,
"please Doc." Doc hugged him and kissed the top of his head, "Oh I want to
Jimmy but you are gonna play a lot of basketball maybe even make the NBA. I
can't let you risk all that for this one game. I want to say yes but the
chance of you breaking that ankle the way it is and never walking straight
or running straight or being able to jump the way you do. I can't let you
risk it."

 Coach immediately looked to Tommy. Jimmy hopped over and cleaned his
glasses. "Ok we are gonna fake the play were we swing it around to
Josh. They'll all rush to you Josh but Jacky you pass it back to Tommy so
we can end this. Ok." There was silence, Josh got up, he was drenched with
sweat. His jersey needed to be rung out there was so much perspiration in
it. "I'll back you up, Tommy you all ready made one game winning shot, why
not 2. Come on lets win this I'm getting hungry." The little Pine Hill team
laughed.

The play worked to perfection. Tommy put the shot up it bounced around and
fell off the rim Josh was a mad man rebounding the ball between 3 Platsburg
players. He grabbed it moved away from the crowd of Platsburg players. The
horn sounded, the ball left his hand, up to the basket and in, tie game
everyone thought.  The ref came running in blowing his whistle and waving
his hands in front of himself in a crossing motion. Josh fell to the
floor. The ref said "sorry son you sure as heck didn't lose but time did
run out on you. You are a champion even if the score doesn't say it." He
extended his hand and helped Josh up. The whole field house was on their
feet giving a standing ovation to the little team from Pine Hill and their
leader.  Pops went over to Josh. "Don't hang your head boy, no one could
have done more. Hear those cheers they are for you. You are gonna hear them
a lot in your life wave to them."

Josh looked up into the stands and found Maggie and waved to her. The field
house erupted with its approval. "Way to go Josh, Great game" was heard to
reverberate off the field house rafters.

The teams lined up for the congratulatory hand shake. The Platsburg coach
shook Josh's hand and whispered "we were lucky, if your brother hadn't got
hurt I don't think we win."

"I know it coach, but your guys played hard. There has to be a winner but
next year you are gonna be dead meat."

"Maybe so, Josh maybe so."

Platsburg grammar school was the second place regional finisher for the
next 3 years. Pine Hill was champions.


The Trial
 The trial of Mr. Brown was fast tracked and Josh and Jimmy were called as
witnesses. The prosecutor had arranged for a separate room with closed
circuit TV for the boys considering the sensitive nature of the case and
their ages. The defense lawyer objected.

"Your honor Mr. Brown is on trail facing a life sentence of
incarceration. His position is these incorrigible foster boys are lying. He
has a right to have them face him. He is the good guy here having brought
the boy onto his farm and he provided a stable and healthy home
environment.

Judge Goodfellow almost choked when Mr. Brown was described as the good guy
but according to the law he reluctantly had to agree with the defense.

Jimmy took the stand first and swore to tell the truth and the whole truth.

The prosecutor was a Mr. McDermott. He began his questioning.  "Jimmy, do
you know the difference between a lie and the truth?"

"Yes Sir"

"Explain it to me please."

"Easy if Mr. Brown says he didn't hurt Josh he is lying- if he tells the
truth he says he did."  Court burst out laughing. Judge Goodfellow was
banging his gavel and asking for order in the court.

Mr. McDermott scratched his ear.

"Well that is good but just explain without bringing Mr. Brown into it; you
can tell me about him later."

Jimmy looked puzzled and said "How come isn't that why we are here. He's a
bad man, a bad bad man he hurt my brother bad awful. He never woulda done
that if my daddy was alive."

McDermott, "Jimmy, the judge and jury need to know you understand and the
defense lawyer is gonna say you don't know what you are talking about. So I
want to show you do understand and know what you are talking about."

"Ok, so say I cause trouble in school and am talking when the teacher is
talking. And she asks who was talking, was it you Jimmy? If I stand up and
say it was me I am telling the truth. If I don't well or answer not me no
mam, I am lying."

"Very good, Do you stand up and tell the truth in school?"

"Well I gotta, if I am stupid enough to break the rule; I gotta be man
enough to take the punishment. Only my teacher Mrs. Morgan, I think she
kind of likes me and usually says don't do it any more because you are
truthful you don't have to stay after; and I shut up. "

"Good, it's good to see you are truthful. When you went to stay with
Mr. Brown where did you stay/"

"He had a dirty old room in the barn with a couple of mattress in it. They
smelled awful bad. It was cold, so cold in the beginning.  And there were
rats that lived there. Once I woke up and one was biting on my toes and I
kind of cried. Josh got a shoe and killed it. He made me sleep close to him
that night. When I woke up in the morning Josh was sitting up with the shoe
in his hand watching that no other rats tried biting us. I asked if he
slept he said sure but all the long day he was rubbing his eyes and yawning
like he was real tired."

"What did you eat on the farm?"

"We each had a cup of coffee in the morning and at lunch we 1 peanut butter
and jelly sandwich to share and the same for supper."

"That's it nothing else?"

"Well there was 4 milk cows that we had to milk. Josh found and old jug and
cleaned it out real good. When we milked the cows we kept a little of their
milk. The milk was pretty good. When we collected the eggs from the
chickens we kept a couple of them. Raw eggs ain't so good but it beats
staving Josh said. We had a cup and drank a lot of water."

The court was 100% quite you could have heard a pin drop. All the ladies
were wiping tears away from their eyes and half the men; including
Mr. McDermott.

"What kind of work did you do?"

"Well taking care of the animals was a big thing. The stalls had to be kept
clean or else they could get sick. The pig pen was real dirty and stinky I
hated that, first time I did it I vomited. Josh was the one to go in and
clean all the muck out; he told me to stay on the side. We had to bring in
these big bags of feed for the chickens. They were so heavy and it was no
good it I dragged it on the ground. Josh put his on his one shoulder and
helped me carry my bag with his other hand. Then as the crops grew we had
to go into the fields and pull out every weed."

"Did Mr. Brown ever help you with any of these chores?"

"Nah, he only showed us how one time, then yelled like a crazy man if we
did it wrong. Sometimes he took away the supper sandwich if we didn't do it
right or if he was just feeling more mean than usual."

"What were you doing the day Josh was hurt?"

"We had been in the field all day, picking the weeds it was so hot. When we
was done, we had our sandwich. We went over to the water hose by the barn
and took off our clothes and Josh sprayed me and I sprayed him to get the
dirt off. His ahh you know the part what should I say?"

"Penis, Jimmy how about pecker"

"Yeah good one, his pecker got big and hard. He started playing with it and
I played with mine too and I got hard too. Is it ok that boys play with
their peckers, Mr. McDermott?"

"I'm pretty sure Jimmy, I bet every man here has done it ."

"Good, I don't want to be telling of breaking any laws..."

Jimmy started shaking. Finally he said, " Mr. Brown comes over with his
pecker out and tells me to knee down and open my mouth. Josh got between us
and pushes me away.... Jimmy starts to cry but goes on. "Mr. Brown says ohh
you want to take your little brothers place..... Oook big boy on your
knees..... Jimmy's voice is crackling.  Mr. McDermott moves the microphone
closer so all could hear...  Josh he didn't move he just stood there. like
a statue. .... Do I gotta tell Mr. McDermott?"

"Yes as best as you can, you are a very brave boy, your dad in heaven is
watching and listening for you to tell about Mr. Brown. You don't want him
to do to other boys like what he's done to you and Josh."

Jimmy, wiped his eyes and took a deep breath, "then Brown took his belt off
and said last chance you're gonna do it or die. I remember those words
exact, it scared me real bad cause I was afraid Josh might not do it. He
stood up there so strong.  Brown whipped him with his belt. Josh turned his
back to more protect himself.  Brown whipped him so much his arm was tired
and he had to switch arms. Josh fell down. Brown was yelling beg for it, I
know you want it, beg for it boy. It seemed like forever he was whipping
him. Blood was all over Josh's back, I thought he was gonna die. Finally,
Josh asked if he could suck it. Brown stopped and Josh gave him what he
wanted, after awhile Brown turned my brother over and put it in him. When
he was done, I helped wash the cuts with the hose and the blood from his
backside. Jimmy eyes were set his jaw tight and firm, his little fists were
clenched. He looked directly at Mr. Brown with a deep hard stare. Brown is
a bad, bad man and I would kill him if it wasn't against the law."

McDermott went over to Jimmy put his arm around him and whispered "Good boy
Jimmy, Your dad is so proud of you, as are all your family. I am very proud
of you. I have a son and if he could be just like you I would be very
happy." In a loud voice McDermott said, "No further questions your honor,
the prosecution asks for a recess for the witness to compose himself. This
has been a very trying experience for 11 year old Jimmy."

The defense counsel went to object.

Judge Goodfellow, smacked his gavel, "Sit down Counselor, this court stands
in recess till 9:00 tomorrow morning."

Colin and Robbie and Chris and Doc and Joe Elsberry, and Mr. Pulaski were
there as well. Josh of course went to his brother. The adults all pounded
Jimmy on his back telling him what a good job he did. It didn't matter much
to Jimmy. He looked at Josh.

"Did I tell it good enough Josh?"

"Yeah, I guess so you did what needed to be done. But I'm the one that
everyone is gonna be looking at. Who sucked his dick and took it up the
butt. I know it's the truth, I just wish the whole world didn't have to
know." With tears now in his eyes Josh said, "I don't want Maggie to know,
Jimmy."

Jimmy looked at his older brother who was always so brave and strong, and
smart and who always took care of him and he saw, really saw how badly Jake
Brown had hurt him. Jimmy hugged him like he had never done before. "She
won't know, I'll make sure of it; She'll never hear of it. Just bad stuff
that's all."

Jimmy went over to Mr. McDermott who was talking to Robbie and
Mr. Pulaski. He pulled on his sleeve to get his attention.

"Yes Jimmy."

"You gotta do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"You gotta figure a way, Josh's girl friend never finds out what
happened. You guys are real smart lawyers and know all sorts of stuff; you
gotta do it. It's the only thing my brother ever asked of me and I gotta
get it done."

"Of course, how stupid of us." Robbie said.

Pulaski said, "we gotta get a gag order on the press and get both O'Shay
boys names stricken from the records.  Mac can you get to the Judge while
Robbie and I contact the press."

"Ok, Jimmy let us get to work." Robbie said.

Mr. Stuart McDermott went at the trot to catch up to Judge Goodfellow. He
caught him just about to leave his chambers for lunch.

"Judge, judge I'm so happy I caught you."

"What is it McDermott? Wanna take me to lunch you are buying."

"Certainly your honor, it'll be a privilege."

"Ok ,if it's worth a lunch to you it must be important. What's up."

"You honor little Jimmy, reminded me I didn't do my job. I didn't ask for a
gag order and the keeping the identities of the O'Shay boys
confidential. How is Josh O'Shay gonna face his girlfriend if this is
public knowledge . These boys have been though so much your honor."

"OK, stop your blabbering, you are right I should have imposed it myself."
Have you gone to the press yet?"

"We have two men doing that as we speak."

"You tell them the gag order is in place; any news or media out let that
lets this out will be subject to the most sever Contempt of Court penalty
ever imposed. You got work to do; I can get my own damn lunch."

McDermott smiled at the judge and shook his hand. He rang up Pulaski's cell
phone. "We have the gag order and woe be to anyone who breaks it. Judge
Goodfellow said he'll find the most sever contempt of court charge and
double it."

"Good job Mac, we are at my office across from the court house. Do me a
favor and stop by security and get a list of everyone who attended the
hearing. "

They were joined by Chris, Joe and Doc Elsberry. They spent the afternoon
calling every news or media out let in the state concentrating on those who
presented credentials at the trail. All cooperated and all details of the
rape as describe by Jimmy were to be left out of the story and Jimmy was to
be witness A and Josh witness B.

Back at Colin's house for diner. Robbie said, "Jimmy you can never be 100%
sure of these things but I am 99% sure the details and your's and Josh's
name will never be heard in any media or newspaper. By the way you are
witness A and Josh will be witness B."

"Wow did you hear that Josh. We are A & B no one will know who we
are. Maggie will never know."

"You sure Robbie?" Josh asked.

"We called every media and newspaper outlet in the state. And NY state has
a bunch. My fingers are sore from punching the keys. Tomorrow we will sneak
you into the court house in case someone tries to take pictures. But if
Judge Good fellow catches them they are dead meat."

A little smile crept over Josh's face. "You did all that for me?"

"Jimmy said it's the only thing you ever asked of him and he had to make it
happen. It's only right, we should have asked for this at the start of the
trial and the Judge should have imposed it on his own. After the trial
you'll have your life to lead and you don't need the whole world knowing
your private stuff."

Josh got up and hugged Robbie and said thank you. Then he went over to
Jimmy and hugged him -- "You are the best bro in the whole world."

"Oh no, I'm not wearing that one. I can count up a hundred maybe a thousand
times you've always taken care of me. I didn't do nothing but ask some
smart guys to help. You are now and always will be the best bro in the
world."

Colin called all to come for dinner, Nana had her pot roast knowing it had
been a hard day on everyone. The boys asked for more mashed potatoes and
gravy. As did everyone else. They all relaxed a bit. Jimmy was thinking of
stuff to say to Browns lawyer. His brain was working overtime and he was a
very smart 11 year old.

The morning brought Jimmy and Josh to the rear door of the court house
along with Robbie, Colin and Chris to avoid any media on the front
steps. They were met by one on the sheriff's deputies who checked the alley
before they were allowed to get out of the car and then guided through a
maze of underground tunnels, stairways and hall to a room right off the
court room. The deputy, was 6ft 5 and about 250 lbs of pure muscle. He
stopped the boys and the whole group and said, "You guys are super brave,
my job is to protect you and your identities. You don't have to talk to
anyone unless you wanna. I'll be watching you every second you just give me
a nod and I'll clear anyone, I mean anyone out of your way. You with me?"

Jimmy and Josh answered, "Yes Sir." Who wouldn't say yes sir to such an
imposing figure.

On the way there was one photographer who knew the layout of the court
house. The deputy immediately called for backup -- secured Josh and Jimmy
out of sight, then confiscated her camera and searched her for any
others. "You can pick up your cameras at the sheriff's office once they
have been cleared of any pictures. I shall hold you press creditials and
inform Judge Goodfellow of your actions. Mam you had to pass several "for
official use signs only" to get to the point where you are at. You are
either blind or choose to deliberate ignore them. If you don't want to be
charged with criminal trespass, I suggest you let this officer escort you
from the building and NOT RETURN. A gag order is in place to protect the
identities of two witnesses and by God it is going to be enforced. Am I
clear?"

The photographer nodded and was escorted out of the court house.

The deputy then brought Josh and Jimmy to the little office off the court
room.

At the door all cell phones were being confiscated a tag number was issued
to the owner and the phone was put in a little plastic bag with the another
copy of the number. Everyone was also being screened for any possible
hidden cameras.

The judge entered the chamber. He went into a brief discourse on the gag
order and the protection of the identities of the two underage
witnesses. "Ladies and Gentlemen I believe the testimony presented here
shows these brave young men have already been put through more hardship in
their short lives than most of the adults here present. It will be the duty
of this court to not let their testimony present further hardship to them
as they go forward. Certainly there are sensitivities here that no adult
never mind a teenage boy would want to be common public knowledge. So I
have the power to exercise contempt of court citations and I shall issue
the largest and most sever contempt charges to anyone who violates my gag
order. With that said please have witness A come to the stand and complete
his testimony."

The clerk called Jimmy and he took the stand. Mr. McDermott reminded him he
was still under oath from yesterday.

"Now Jimmy, you have had the advantage of having yesterday to consider your
testimony. Is there anything you want to add or change?"

"You know, Mr. McDermott you never asked so I couldn't tell. Once me and
ahhh witness "B" saw Brown give Miss Silver what looked like a bunch of
money."

"Why does that seem important to you?"

"Well at the other foster home where we had to leave the social worker
lady, Mrs. Jenkins always was giving money to Mama Jenny, the foster parent
. This was the other way around, seemed strange to us cause Brown was so
mean and Mama Jenny was so nice."

"OK, Jimmy, No more questions at this time your honor, I reserve the right
of redirect your honor."

"Your witness, counselor."

Johnson practically jumped from his chair and got right up close to Jimmy.

"Now boy you said that you had a room in the barn but really there was a
fine room for you and your bother in the house isn't that right?"

"Yes, sir, the only time we was in the room in the house was when we had to
clean it cause Silver was coming."

"Now boy, enough of this charade, the sheriff was at Brown's farm with all
his deputies and didn't find any room in the barn with old mattresses. So
tell the truth you slept in the room in the house."

"Can't do it cause it's not true. I don't know about what the sheriff
saw. I do know how we had to live there and what I said is the truth. No
disrespect meant but you should brush your teeth after breakfast. Could you
back up a bit. Your breath is stinky bad."

The court room howled. Judge Goodfellow had to try to hide the smile on his
face.

Mr. Mc Dermott got up and objected to the defense lawyer trying to
intimidate the witness.

Judge Goodfellow sustained the objection and Mr. Johnson took a step
back. Judge Goodfellow gave Johnson a stern look and he backed up another
step. Jimmy smiled his biggest smile and for sure the whole court room
including the jury was on his side.

Johnson asked the Judge to instruct the witness to only answer the
questions as he asked them.

The Judge looked at Jimmy and said, "Now young man no additional comments
are to be presented by you except to answer the defenses questions
honestly. Can you do that?"

"I'm not sure Judge if he doesn't let me tell the whole story, to tell the
truth I gotta say it right don't I?"

 The Judge was a little flabbergasted, Jimmy was a brash one that was for
sure. "Mr. Prosecutor please have a conference with your witness explaining
court room procedure before I am forced to find him in contempt of
court. Court is in recess for 15 minutes." As the Judge walked off the
bench he gave a slight smile to Jimmy, winked and just the tiniest of a
thumbs up sign. Jimmy smiled.

McDermott, got Jimmy into the conference room with Josh.

"Ok now Jimmy, you are doing great; but you've been told by the Judge, now,
to only answer Johson's questions and you have to do what the Judge says.
So no more explanations, just give the shortest answer possible. Johnson is
gonna ask what were you doin before Josh was attacked. What's your answer?"

"We was washing, we didn't have a bathroom and the cow poop was all over
us."

"Wrong answer -- one word... washing. He'll ask why were you naked? What's
your answer?"

"To get clean all over."

"Now I have redirect so after Johnson is done I'll read you his question
and your answer ask you if you to have anything to add. Understand, kind of
stupid but that's how we play. Kind of like in basketball the no walking
rule."

"Yeah that's a tough one. OK I get it. Tell him as little as possible and
then tell you the whole story."

Josh said, "Ya gotta stay calm Jimmy, don't let him get you mad. Just
remember you'll get your chance to explain later."

"Yeah, but I wanna tear that guy up. I don't like him."

"You've already done a good job of that. Look at the jury and the whole
court room even the Judge is on your side. I saw Johnson getting in your
face but I wanted you to back him off and you did it just great."

"What did you do Jimmy?" Josh asked

"I told him he had to brush his teeth he had stinky bad breath."

Robbie and Colin almost fell off their chairs laughing. McDermott looked at
them and smiled and just shook his head up and down.

"Yeah the Judge winked and gave me a thumbs up sign as he went to his
room."

"Really, I've know Judge Goodfellow for 20 years first time I've ever heard
of anything like that. Stick to the plan and Brown will never get out of
jail."

Fifteen minutes were up. The clerk called Jimmy back to the stand.

Johnson got right up in Jimmy's face again. Jimmy looked up to the
Judge. He gave Johnson another stern look and asked, "Counselor, do I have
to draw a ring on the floor for you so you can honor the witnesses personal
space."

"No your honor." Johnson backed up.

"So, on the day in question after your work what were you doing?"

"Washing"

"Were you naked"

"Yup"

"How come?"

"How come what?"

"How come you were naked"

"To get clean all over"

"Did you always get naked to wash."

"A lot"

"Why"

Jimmy smirked, "To get clean all over & cool off"

"Don't you do it to play with yourself"

"Hmm not really"

"Were you playing yourself the day in question?"

"Hmm I think so."

"But you got naked to get clean and cool off or you got naked to play with
yourself. Which is it?"

Jimmy looked at Mr. Mc Dermott smiled & who gave the ok sign.

"We got naked to wash after you get cooled off you feel kind of
different. I guess you adults call it sexy so we did what all guys do we
played with our boy parts. Bet most everyone here has done it cept maybe
you and Brown."

Jimmy again brook up the court room.  Johnson said, "Your honor"

Mc Dermott got up and said, "he was only answering and explaining his
answer, to the question."

Judge Goodfellow said, "He was ok till the cept you and Brown part, Now
young man if you make another unsolicited remark like that I'm going to
have to charge you with contempt of court. I told you not to make those
remarks didn't I?"

Jimmy said, "Yes sir, sometimes stuff comes out of my mouth before my brain
thinks about it. I'm sorry your honor."

"Well you better slow that mouth of your's down or there will be serious
consequences. ... Go on counselor."

"Were you playing with yourselves for Mr. Brown's benefit."

"I really don't understand your honor."

"Rephase, if you will counselor."

"Were you playing with yourselves so Mr. Brown would see and start feeling
sexy too?"

Jimmy again looked to Mr. Mc Dermott, who gave no real signal but mouthed
be careful.

"Brown's house is around the corner and a good walk to the corner of the
barn where the hose was kept. So if he was seeing us it was because he
walked out of his nice house, down and around the corner to the barn. So we
were just playing around and having a little fun. If anything we were
trying to forget about Brown and the miserable day we had. So No "

Again Johnson complained to the Judge.

Judge Goodfellow said, "I see nothing wrong with the answer. He explained
in detail very respectfully the layout of the property and why they could
not be doing any of their playing around for the benefit of Mr. Brown. Who
he obviously dosen't like. Continue counselor."

"Did you play sexy games with your brother?"

"Wanda ya mean, gay stuff?"

"Yeah gay stuff"

"Nope"

"Ever wanna?"

"Nope"

"Didn't you want to taste Mr. Brown's penis"

"EWW NO"

"Your brother pushed you out of the way you said when Mr. Brown presented
himself to you?"

"Yup"

"He did that because he wanted it for himself wasn't that it?"

Jimmy's eyes nearly bulged out of his head he stood up with his little
fists clenched.

Mc Dermott yelled "Recess your honor, recess please, please your honor"

"OK Mr. Prosecutor a 10 minute recess."

McDermott rushed up to Jimmy and pulled him off the stand and into the
conference room.

"Just calm down Jimmy, calm down. You are gonna answer that with one word
NO -- you hear me. Jimmy. Then I promise you'll have your turn to
explain. You can say whatever you want when I re-ask the question. Don't
screw up now you've been so very good. That is about as mean a trick as I
have ever seen but you stay strong and you're gonna bury that bastard I
know it."

They knocked on the door 10 minutes are up, Jimmy took the stand. Judge
asked, "Clerk will you read the last question of the witness"

"To keep in context your honor I'll read the last two.

"Your brother pushed you out of the way, you said, when Mr. Brown presented
himself to you?"

The witness answered "Yup"

"He did that because he wanted it for himself wasn't that it?"

 "No"

With a scowl on his face Judge Goodfellow asked, "any other questions
counselor"

Johnson knew Brown's case was done for.

"Anything or redirect counselor?"

"yes your honor" McDermott put on his best bedside manner. "Now witness A,
when Mr. Johnson asked "He did that because he wanted it for himself" was
there more that you wanted to explain there.

Jimmy took a deep breath and then another. "Yes"

"Tell me what you wanted to say."

"I just don't understand why he can't see, before my brother did what he
did he was beat half to death."

Jimmy was trying to hold back the tears but they were running down his
face. He kept having to sniff his nose but he was gonna say what he had to.

"He could have taken the beating and died. DON'T YOU SEE, DON'T ANY OF YOU
SEE. HE DID IT BECAUSE I WOULD BE ALL ALONE TO FACE BROWN ALL BY
MYSELF. When dad got called overseas and when mom couldn't take care of us
he was always there for me. And that man said that about him it's not
right. He has always protected me and that's what he did that day."

Johnson just hung his head over at the defense desk.

McDermott looked at the jury. The ladies were all dabbing the tears from
their eyes the men looked stern and mad as all hell. For sure Johnson's
scheme to paint Josh and Jimmy as instigators was not working.

"Anything else."

"No sir"

Judge Goodfellow said, "The witness is excused with the thanks of this
court. You are a very brave lad to face the questions posed to you
today. You answered all very well. We will break for lunch and resume again
at 1:30."

After the break, Mr. Mc Dermott called Josh, Witness "B" to the stand.

Josh took the oath. Mr. Mc Dermott asked whether he knew the difference
between a lie and the truth.

"Sure, yes I do."

"Can you give an example so the jury knows?"

"Ah, ok, if I take your pen and the Judge asks where did I get the pen and
I say I brought it at the store. That's a lie. If I say I took it from
Mr. Mc Dermott that's the truth."

"Your brothers been up here almost and entire day between yesterday and
today."

"Yeah, he talks a lot." Josh smiles.

"He said, at Mr. Brown's you slept in the barn on dirty stinky mattresses
was that the truth?"

"Yeah, I don't think he ever lies. Our dad taught us that."

"He said you only got 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a day for both
of you. Was that correct?"

"Yes Sir"

"He said you washed off with the water hose from the barn. Is that
correct?"

"Yes sir -- can I add to that ?"

"Yes"

"You see we didn't have a bath room. We had to do our hmm poop where the
cows were and had to clean that for them. We didn't have toilet paper so to
kept our selves clean we had use the water to wash our ahh backsides. That
hose was the only way to do that stuff."

"He said you got naked and played with yourselves."

Josh smirked, "Well we got naked to wash especially our backsides. The dirt
there made you smell and itch like crazy. In the cold months it was hard to
wash but we had to do except on the coldest days. When it got warm after we
washed, we felt kind of sexy and played with our boys parts. It felt good
to be almost clean. We scrubbed each other's hair and being close like that
that I guess we got excited."

"When Mr. Brown came on you that day what were you doing?"

Josh took a deep breath, " Well what most 13 year old guys do with their
parts when they are naked and excited."

"When Brown took out his member and put it in front of Jimmy what did you
do?"

"I knew the two of us couldn't beat him in a fight not without a club or
something . There wasn't anything around so I did what my dad had told me
to take care of my brother. I couldn't let Brown do that to him. It was so
sick. I pushed him away."

"So Brown came after you?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"So when Brown threatened you what were you thinking."

"Maybe I can wait him out, Maybe he'll get tired and forget about it."

"Did he."

"He got a little tired but he wasn't gonna forget about it. It was almost
like he was enjoying beating me."

"What made you change your mind and do it?"

"After a while the belt became like a part of me, just like breathing. I
could feel the blood running out of me. Now you are gonna think this is
crazy but my dad I feel him in me a lot of times. I felt him say you gotta
stay alive, you gotta survive for Jimmy. Just do it. So I did"

Wow, did you and witness A rehearse your answers?"

"No, we both know what happened. There was nothing to rehearse."

"Witness A said the same thing about why you finally did it."

"He's pretty smart for a little brother."

"Would you stand up and show the jury your back?

"I'd really rather not. I don't like being a sideshow freak."

"Please I think it's important."

Josh got up, Mc Dermott took his arm and led him right in front of the jury
box.

Josh, pulled the shirt out of his pants. He went to un-botton it.

Mc Dermott whispered, "Can I just pull it up in the back so you don't have
to do that."

Josh nodded yes.

"Hold your arms up" whispered Mc Dermott as he gently raised Josh's shirt
up to his neck

The welts and scars had his back looking like a piece of hamburger meat.

Gasps were heard in every corner of the room.

Mc Dermott gently pulled the shirt down. He whispered, "Thank you very much
Josh. In another time and another place Brown would be whipped till he was
dead and I would do the whipping. I'm so sorry this happened to you."

Mc Dermott said, "I have no further questions of this brave lad."

As it was almost 3:00 Judge Goodfellow said they would resume in the
morning. And he again reminded everyone of his gag order.

Josh, Jimmy and their team were again led out to the back door. The deputy
went out first to check the area and saw red when he spied the same
troublesome photographer sitting behind dumpsters The area was protected by
a half dozen signs that read "Restricted Access Official Use Only. " He
went back inside and told the group to wait until he had cleared an
obstacle. He called for backup and he told them to put her in lock up.

A second more intensive sweep was made of the area checking every possible
camera vantage point. Then Colin was given the ok to leave the parking lot
proceeding to the pick up point.  Colin got them and immediately went
home. To continue hiding the boys identities Colin contacted Joe Elsberry.

"Joe I need your help."

"Anything Colin what can I do for you."

"We, and that includes the court have decided to keep the boys identities
secret. In court today a gag order has been issued and their names are
stricken from the records. I need you to cover up their situation at
school. They have to be marked present to prevent someone from finding out
they were out of school. Can you do it?"

"Yes I can Colin. I suspect they could be subject to a lot of unnecessary
and embarrassing attention."

Immediately after the end of proceedings Johnson, searched out Mc Dermott.

" Look Mac, I am sick of this, I am sick of representing Jake Brown. I am
ashamed of my cross today on that boy and I'm glad he kicked my ass. Give
me something to take back to Brown. I'll flip him on Silver. I swear I
will. Give him the possibility of parole in 20 -- 25 years. I don't want to
have to cross the older boy. "

"Ok, give the possibility of parole in 25 years if he lives that long. "

"What about protected security against the other inmates?"

"That's up to the warden but I'll request it. You wrap Silver up into a
nice easy ball. I don't want to bring these kids back to testify against
her."

Johnson went back to Jake Brown, "Hey Jake, the whole world knows you've
done this. They have NDA evidence plus the kids testimony. You are looking
at a life sentence and no possibility of parole. You saw the faces on that
jury. If they could hang you; they would all pay for the rope and string
you up right in front of the court house. I took a shot at breaking the
young kid and got nowhere. Now, I have a deal from the DA. You flip 100% on
Silver, everything and anything you can possibly give him to convict her,
of course plead guilty and as opposed to no parole you could have parole
after 25 years plus he'll recommend to the prison warden you receive
protected custody.  Now at least, you have a chance to turn your life
around.  One other thing Jake, if you don't take it find yourself another
lawyer if you can. Not that anyone would touch you with a 10 foot pole. I'm
not doing anymore damage to my reputation defending you and trying to
character assassinate those kids. What's it gonna be? It's the best you are
gonna get."

"I don't know what drove me to it. I never should have treated those kids
that way. Take the deal I'll do the plea and give him all I can on Silver."

Johnson immediately called McDermott and told him the outcome. "It gives
him a chance to turn his life around. It seals the deal on Silver not that
you needed much help. Not that it means much Mac, he does seem genuinely
sorry."

"OK done. Change your plea first thing in the morning. I'll let the judge
and all interested parties know."

Mac called the Judge. The Judge said. "Good work we'll get this disgusting
matter done. The State of New Youk doesn't need any more bad press. Have
him be 100% culpable, Mac. "

Colin was happy that the boys did not have to go back to court. He thought
they had way too much of bad memories. Josh and Jimmy were elated as
well. "Does this mean I don't have to testify anymore?"

With a big smile Robbie answered "Yes, it does Josh."

The next morning Jake Brown changed his plea and answered all of DA
McDermott's questions as he went over each of the issues, the room, the
food, the work, and finally the assault and the rape. To each he tearfully
answered, "yes, it is true that is what I did." He went on to implicate
Silver on every count of her involment as well. Upon which Silver pleaded
guilty and placed herself at the mercy of the court.

The Judge went to dismiss the jury as the guilty plea meant they were no
longer needed.

The foreman stood up and asked if they could make a recommendation
especially considering their loss of personal time.

The Judge agreed.

"Your honor, we don't know if it's in your power but we would like to have
the State of New York pay punitive damages of $1,000,000.00 to the victims
here. Witness B to get $600,000.00 and Witness A to get $400,000.00. We
think that the state is culpable as well and shares in the crime inflicted
on the boys. Thank you your honor."

Judge Goodfellow was a little stunned but 100%, in agreement with the
jury. "Well thank you very much ladies and gentlemen of the jury I shall
take you recommendation to heart. A punitive cash award has never been done
in criminal trial, against an organizational entity. I don't know if I can
legally do it. No matter how much I want too. Is there a representative for
the State of New York Children's Portective Services here?"

Miss Moran stood up. "Yes your honor, Miss Moran here, I have been assigned
as case worker for the victims here."

" As I understand it in this case you have been charged to report directly
to the director of CPS. Is this still the situation?"

"Yes your honor."

"Well then what would your recommendation be to the director?"

"Well if I had an order from your honor, although most unusual and possibly
not 100% legal; I would still recommend that he make the payment as soon as
possible. This case is a black mark against the fine work our social
workers do around the state. Many go to great lengths, often on their own
time and with monies from their own pocket. They, we truly protect the
children of our communities. Miss Silver is a sickening embarrassment to
CPS. We have so much work ahead of us now trying to repair the trust, that
the people of the state should have in CPS. I would put this to bed as
quickly as possible and 100% support your order for it is in the best
interests of CPS and more importantly it is the right thing to do for those
boys. It will never take away the physical or emotional trauma but it will
be a gesture of our sincere sorry and a commitment to never let this
terrible tragedy happen again."

"Well said Miss Moran, you have your order. Thank you again ladies and
gentlemen of the jury. I shall follow your recommendation to the
letter. Miss Moran it will be in your possession by the end of day by my
personal hand.  Sentencing for Mr. Brown and Miss Silva to be held two
weeks from today.  Court Adjourned!!!"

A cheer went up from those in attendance as well as standing ovation. Judge
Goodfellow left the bench that morning to shouts of good job judge & way to
go judge. It wasn't often that he felt that justice was really
severed. Often he felt remorse for the victim or the defendant that the law
didn't treat one or the other correctly. This time however he felt the
system had done a good job. With that feeling inside him he immediately
went about writing his personal order for the punitive damages the state
was to pay.

Mac called Robbie first for he would appreciate the unusable order the
Judge was to issue. Robbie's reaction was,"WOW!!  WOW."  He explained it to
Colin, Josh and Jimmy. There was jubilation in the house that night. Colin,
Robbie and Chris took Josh, Jimmy and Nana out to the very best dinner
money could buy. With the trial over the long agonizing journey that had
brought Josh and Jimmy to Colin's door was now completed.

A month later Miss Moran came by with 2 checks; Colin was to act as the
trustee for the money for the boys until the age of 21. He, along with
Chris and Robbie carefully planned out investments that would grow the
funds. Their college education was now secured as well as a good start in
life.

Summer Vacation That summer Josh was invited to go on vacation to the
Jersey shore with Maggie and her family. Ned and Maureen O'Malley had three
children 2 older boys who had to work during summer break and Maggie.  So
having josh arounf was like have another son in a way. On the beach and
everywhere he always wore a T shirt. Maggie's mom was ever so diligent in
applying sunscreen to everyone. With the T shirt Josh was able to avoid
needing help and always did his own legs, arms, face and neck. Maggie
thought it a bit strange but she left Josh to be himself. She knew she
loved him and one day in the far future they would be married. On the
second day after coming out of the water with Josh's T drenched with the
salt water Mrs. O'Malley couldn't help but take control with her mothering
instinct.

"Josh dear come here." She patted the blanket by her for him to sit
down. Josh was in a quandary and basically had to do what she asked. Maggie
was playing beach ball with her dad. Josh had just wanted to dry off.

"Let me help you take that wet shirt off and I'll put some sunscreen on
your back."

Josh grabbed his shirt. "It's ok Mrs. O'Malley, really."  There was a sense
of panic in Josh's voice.

Mrs. O'Malley reached over and tugged at his shirt "Come on Josh don't be
bashful."

"No don't, please don't" Josh pleaded

Head strong and Irish Mo O'Malley had made up her mind and tugged the shirt
up ignoring Josh's protests. It was a third of the way up and she saw the
scars on the boys back. She immediately pulled it back down.  Leaning over
and hugging Josh from behind she started crying,

"I'm so sorry, so sorry" as the words came to her so did the awful
newspaper story she had read about the two foster boys and the older one
who had been beaten and raped.

"Oh Josh please forgive me, I can be a stupid headstrong woman. I am so
sorry, honey, so sorry I'll never question your word again, I'm sorry."

Josh turned around and with the compassion that he always seemed to posess;
wiped the tears of the older woman from her eyes. "Don't tell Maggie,
please. Some day she will know, but today I don't want her or everyone on
the beach thinking her boyfriend is a freak."

In a very quiet but firm voice Mrs. O'Malley said, "Josh O' Shay everyday
Maggie says you are the kindest, most compassionate, and most caring person
she has ever met. You are smart and strong and she dreams and so do I, of
the day you will be married. My boy, your back may be scarred but your
heart is as pure as can be. YOU ARE NOT NOW AND NEVER WILL BE A FREAK. Of
course you'll tell Maggie in your own time and place. Please forgive, this
meddling old woman."

"It's nothing you was just trying to be nice."

Maggie and Ned O'Malley joined them. Ned said, "Mother think we should be
heading back. I wanna grab a shower and rinse this salt off of me then
start the grill for those steaks we got."

"OK dear, that's a splendid idea. Do you think you can grill the corn on
the cob too. Do you like corn on the cob, Josh?"

"Yes mam, I like to smother it in butter. My dad used to make it that way."

"Well corn on the cob it is then."

Diner was great after Josh and Maggie walked on the beach. Ned and Mo were
left to watch the sun dip over the horizon be themselves.

"Ned dear, I have something I have to tell you and you can never repeat it
to anyone especially Maggie."

Ned sipped his beer and looked at his wife, "What is so secretive?"

Mo had tears in her eyes, "Just promise me Ned, please."

"Yes of course hon, now what is it?"

"Remember the terrible story in the paper about those 2 boys, the one who
protected his brother and got beaten and then raped by that terrible man."

"Yes"

"Josh is that boy Ned. I was being a stupid meddling old woman and lifted
his T shirt and saw the terrible scars."

"Oh my gracious."

"I apologized like crazy and you know what he did he wiped my tears away
and begged me not to tell Maggie. He didn't want her to think of him as a
scarred freak. Can you imagine that? Not a word about his pain but only
what Maggie would think of him."

"He dried your tears?"

"Well of course, as soon as I saw. I knew I had betrayed him. I lifted his
shirt over his protests, he even tried to hold it down to hide his back. Of
course, I started crying; I was so ashamed of myself. Then, he said it was
nothing, I was only trying to be nice. He is the sweetest boy, Ned."

"You can say that again and so brave to bear all of the torture from that
man Brown. We can only treat him the best we know how, Mo. And love him all
the more for it and for Maggie's sake."

Maggie and Josh walked along the edge of the water. There was a cool breeze
now off the ocean. The waves lapped gently by their feet. "Hey big man, how
come you are always wearing a T shirt. I wear a bikini to stir your
juices. You don't want to stir mine and show some skin."

Josh gulped, he wondered if Maggie's mom had said something. He quickly
figured not. "Maggie, it's because something bad happened to me and my back
is not pretty but I'll show you my abs. Will that stir your juices?"

Maggie grabbed Josh's arm. With the greatest concern she asked, " what
happened to you, Josh. Tell me please, you know I love you."

"Maggie, someday I will and that is a promise. When we are married and all
naked in bed you'll know, not yet. Can I leave it at that; it's bad and my
back is not pretty, please. Please love me enough to wait until I'm ready
to tell you. I so want you to be naked in bed with me. I know we can't now
but I'm gonna go crazy waiting till we marry."

"Josh O'Shay you are so sexy when you talk like that. So ya got a bad back,
big deal. We got better stuff to do. Your important parts are in your
front." Maggie reached over and grabbed Josh by his pecker and ran down the
beach like that. Josh of course had to follow. She found a hidden spot
under a pier. Let go of his now hard cock took off her sweat shirt and her
bikini top. Josh's eyes popped out of his head. She laid down on the warm
sand. "Come on Josh let's practice that naked thing."

He lifted the front of his T over his head to the back of his neck. Most of
his back was covered that way and laid down beside her. Maggie immediately
rolled on top of him. Her perky young breast against his chest. She kissed
him, her tongue exploring every bit of his mouth. She came up for air.

"How's this for naked, my lover boy. We just gotta lose our bottoms but you
promise to keep that spear outside of me. Promse."

A weak, but enchanted Josh said, "It'll be so hard but I promise Maggie."

Maggie lost her bikini bottoms and took off Josh's swim suit.

"You keep you T Josh, I love you this way and I love being naked for you."

"Maggie I love you."  Maggie rubbed herself on Josh. She loved him
so. After a bit Josh said, "put your pussy on my mouth so I can love you
that way." And he licked and sucked on it and she came and he did it more
and she moaned as she had another organism, he didn't stop and again it
happened.

"What will ever happen to me when you put your beautiful dick in me?"

"We'll make babies lots and lots of babies"

Maggie now took his cock which was leaking precum like water out of a
faucet, kissed it and twirled her tongue around it, then sucked it and
pumped it until it exploded in her mouth. She swallowed every bit and
licked it clean and kissed. "Someday your are gonna mix your white suff
with my egg stuff big boy."

They laid there, naked, in their bliss. Josh said your father is gonna put
a shotgun to me if I don't get you home. They scurried around and found
their clothes. Went up on the boardwalk to inspect each other and cleaned
up pretty good raced the half mile back to the beach house.

Ned asked, "You guys were gone a while?"

Maggie quickly answered, "We were doing somersaults in the sand daddy. Josh
is terrible at them. We lost track of the time. Can we get Italian ices
daddy? It's only 10:30 they are still open aren't they? How about you and
mom what kind do you guys want?"

"Make mine lemon, dear," Mrs. O'Malley said.

"Lemon for me too," said her dad as he reached for his wallet.

Josh had slipped into his bedroom and got his own wallet.  He listened to
the conversation and was back out.

Mr. O'Malley was handing Maggie the money. Josh said, "Please let me get
this little thing, you guys have been so good to me, gosh feeding me like a
king and letting me come on this trip with my own bedroom. Please."

"Ned put your money away, our daughter's generous boyfriend has this one,
thank you Josh. But truth be told we rent this house every year. Our boys
are busy working for college so they couldn't come this year. So with the
extra room we asked Maggie if she wanted to bring a friend and she picked
you of course.  Now you do eat your fair share but much less than our two
college boys so we are way ahead on the deal. Ned here is a little tired of
the amusement park rides and we would appreciate it if you would take
Maggie and let us enjoy the sunsets."

"Now mother I still like the bumpy cars, but the roller coasters do mess
with my stomach. Can I count on your help, Josh."

"Of course, Mr. O'Malley."

Out the door to the ice cream shop the two teens went.

"I do like that boy, Mo. I hope he is a keeper."

"Well, all I know is that Maggie is planning her wedding already."

"You don't think she would do anything foolish, do you?"

"I think she might but I don't think Josh would. I'm guessing they are
doing sexual stuff; gosh Maggie was absolutely glowing when she came in but
Josh is very much in control. He won't let it go too far."

"I remember those days and they still come over me to the point I can't
keep my hands off of you."

"Just do it quite tonight dear, no sense adding to their already excited
state."

"Yes my love."

The pier and the house was to become a favorite place for Josh and Maggie
as the years moved forward, as well as the memories of Ned and Mo O'Malley.
