Karl just held me all night until I eventually fell asleep. Saturday morning and we were up for the usual routine, though I did take the pepper spray and taser with me when we went jogging. We met the guys and did our laps without any problems. I checked the car and then Karl and I were back to the apartment. It was a quick shower as I intended to hit the Rec center this morning. We had our breakfast and Karl headed out with me. "Not letting you out of my sight if I can help it lover." "You'll get no argument from me. Hell you heard Kurt. He wants everybody in groups when possible." "Yeah a wise precaution that I hope everybody tries to adhere to." When we went out I checked the car over again and then we were on our way. When we got to the rec center Karl stayed with me even when I went to the floor, which didn't go unnoticed. "Dennis, what's going on? Karl never comes with you." "Dana there was at least one more attack since I last spoke to you." "Enough said. Might just as well get to it." I stretched out and started working my way around the room. I did notice that Dana was speaking to people but didn't think much of it. I finally decided that I had enough today and Karl and I went and changed into our bathing suits and hit the pool. I noticed that a couple of the guys from the team had joined us today. In fact they hung with us through our pool time and the whirlpool and even into the showers. A different couple of guys from the team shadowed us to my car. Once it was checked over Karl and I headed home. "Did you notice Karl?" "That there were at least two guys from the team with us at all times? Yeah I did. Think Dana said something to them?" "I don't have the slightest doubt in my mind whatsoever. I'm sure as hell not going to call them on it either. If they think it is necessary who the hell am I to tell them different?" "Yeah I hear you. Good to know they take you seriously though." "Yeah I just hope they keep their eyes open for others as well." "It would be nice I suppose." We got back to the apartment without any problems and went in and settled in for the day to take care of school work. Thankfully the day went on without any problems and we finally called it a night and sacked out. Sunday morning as we were ready to go to do our laps, right up until we got to the cars. Both of them had 4 flat tires that had been slashed. I checked the rest of the car over and then accessed the hard drive for the camera system I had installed last year. I downloaded the video file to my phone and then called the police. I then called Gordon and told him why we weren't there for our laps. It wasn't long after that the guys showed up, followed soon by the police. I gave the police the video file showing the guys who had slashed our tires for all that it was worth as the guys were wearing masks. Hopefully there were some clues that could be turned up. Paul and the guys helped us get the cars up on blocks and the tires removed. We loaded them into Pauls trunk and headed out to a tire center and got them all replaced at no small charge to my card. I did call the insurance company and reported the incident, as did Karl. By the time we had gotten all of that taken care of it was later on in the afternoon and Gordon and Aiden got invited to stay for Sunday supper as well. "Well young men, I have to say I'm a bit more than a little concerned. First the vandalism to the apartment and now this, I'm seriously considering getting a security fence and gate around the property." "I can't say as I blame you on that Mr Castanza, especially with as much landscaping equipment as you have stored here. I'm sure Karl and I won't mind paying whatever increase in the rent you deem required." "More for my piece of mind than anything else boys, so there won't be any increase. If and when I do it I'll be sure to get enough remotes for everybody." "If that's they way you want it sir." Dinner was quickly finished and even Gordon and Aiden helped clear the table tonight. Everybody was shortly on their way after that, and Karl and I went upstairs. "That fence is going to be a major expense." "I know Karl, but we can hardly pay him extra if he doesn't want or won't take it." "Yeah I suppose. Think the police will ever get the morons who sliced our tires?" "I'm doubting it unless they can uncover something from that video that I gave them, and I'm not holding my breath on that one." "Yeah neither am I." We hit the books for a while before we crashed. Monday morning came as usual and it was up and out for our jogging. We got to campus and the guys were waiting for us. Thankfully there were no new bruises to report. We got our laps done without any problems and Karl and I were back to the apartment showered, changed and fed and then off to classes. Right after classes I headed back to the apartment today. We had a practice tomorrow and I decided to save myself for it. It appeared Mr Castanza was serious about the fence as there was a contractor there when I pulled in. Mr Castanza was discussing things with the contractor so I just waved and went upstairs. Karl had pulled some pork chops out of the freezer for supper and I decided to wait until he got home to throw those in the oven. I did peel some potatoes and put them in water, again to wait until Karl got him as they would take a bit less time than the chops to cook. I then went to work on school stuff until I heard Karl pull in. I got the fire under everything at that point. "Anything happen over the weekend that I haven't heard about?" "Nothing that I heard of Den. What did you hear?" "Nothing at all. Just seeing if you had other sources." "Only thing I heard about was the notice Dean Evans put on the bulletin board. From what I heard, he laid out in no uncertain terms what would happen to anyone partaking in any form of harrassment." "Hopefully that will be enough to put the fear into them." "I'm doubting it Den. I remember what you told me the guys who tried to keep you from going to the frat in the first place said; that they didn't care about the policy." "Hell if I know if those guys are even still around. I didn't pay any attention to what happened to them. Guess Kyle had me distracted." Karl and I had supper and got things cleared up and hit the books for a while before we crashed. Tuesday and we were at it again. Laps were run and we returned home and Karl got into class and I waited until it was time for the practicum. It was the usual 15 minute discussion and then the reviews. I hadn't made any changes so I was done fairly quickly. I grabbed some lunch and eventually headed over to the rec center. I got stretched out and went to work on a full runthrough. Today was a closed practice, but at some point Karl had been let in. I finished my run throughs and the coach released me. Karl followed me into the locker room and changed into his bathing suit as well. Again we were shadowed by a couple of guys from the squad right up until the time we got into our cars and headed home. We were upstairs before either of us spoke. "You think this is going to be a regular thing from now on Den?" "Hell if I know. You want me to say something to Dana?" "Yeah, it feels a little creepy to have them following us." "I'll mention it next time I see him. Good to know that the team thinks enough of me to do it though." "Hey Dana may be the team captain lover, but they all know who got them to and through the all state last time." "That was a team effort and you know it Karl." "Yeah it was, but you were sure as hell the face of that team." "Yeah I guess. Let's get something to eat." Our evening went pretty much as they usually did and we crashed out at the usual time. Wednesday rolled around and with it the routine took over. Jogging,classes and then home again. This year seemed to be more tedious than last year. I had supper ready when Karl got there and it was another quiet night. Thursday morning was dark and raining so we didn't go in for our laps this morning. Karl headed into his class and I waited until it was time for the practicum. It only took me the 15 minute discussion today and then I headed over to the Student union for a quick lunch. I was passing the alley between two buildings when somebody grabbed me. I didn't hesitate, The booted heel came down on an instep. The taser dropped into my hand and I stabbed back with it and it connected to somebody. The pepper spray was fished out of my pocket and used liberally. The guy that I had tazed was on the ground spasming and the guy who got the pepper spray was running around in circles. Enough of a racket had been raised that there was a crowd around and campus security was soon on the scene. I told them I had been grabbed and given recent occurences I didn't wait to get hit, I reacted. The two guys were taken away to be checked out at the infirmary. I was taken to the security office to give a full statement. It wasn't all that long before Dean Evans was there. "I'm assuming this was self defense Mr Sawyer?" "Yes sir. Given recent circumstances I feel well jusified in my reactions." "I can't much say as I blame you. Now as to that list you gave me the other day, there is no corrolation between them and those bringing suit, however the names of the two that tried to jump you were on that list." "So there appears to be a concerted effort even if not directly linked to those bringing suit against the frat?" "That's the way it appears to me Mr Sawyer."
