When he came through the door it only took him a second to know something was up. "You heard from the lawyers." "The email is there but I haven't opened it." "Do we have time before supper?" "Yes." "Then do it." I sat down in front of the computer and Karl was behind me with his hands on my shoulders. I opened the email. Dennis, Test conclusively show that there is a match and that Mr Trenton is indeed your father. This information has been forwarded to Mr Trenton as required. He was also reminded that he is not to contact you directly and that you will initiate any contact. Please let us know when you want to proceed. Jacobs "Well there it is lover. What are you going to do now?" "First off, I'm going to tell Thomas and then I'm going to let it sink in and consider where to go from there." I quickly dashed off an email to Thomas and then supper was ready. I sat to table with Karl but didn't eat much. Karl didn't have much to say tonight but did hold me after we settled in for some tv. I didn't have a lot to say either. I was thinking. So paternity had been established. Now just what the hell was this guy after? Could he have not known I had been born? Always possible. Could have known and lost track? also possible. What did he want? Could it be as simple as wanting to know his son? Did he want to hurt me in some way for the lost time, or a lost love? Did he want to get control of my holdings either directly or by influencing me? The possiblites were endless and I'd drive myself crazy trying to figure them out. "Karl, not a word to anyone tomorrow. If they don't ask we don't tell." "If that's the way you want it Den." We crashed out shortly afterwards and the next think I knew the alarm was going off. We were up and out and over to campus and jogging with the guys. When Karl and I came around the corner they were there waiting on us. Everyone looked but, nobody asked. It was a quiet jog and then Karl and I were back to the apartment and he was soon off to class. There was only the practicum for me today and I could very well skip it, but decided not to. If I deviated from the norm then questions might be asked and I didn't feel up to answering them today. So when it was time I headed in did the 15 minute lecture and the review. "No changes Mr Sawyer?" "None sir." "Then off with you." So it was over to the student union for lunch and my usual time on the bench. Nobody stopped to talk today, and that was just fine by me. I eventually headed over to the rec center and went in and did a normal workout. I didn't trust myself to be on any of the aparratus today. I hit the swimming pool and then the whirlpool where Jack from the team had words for me today. "Good meet Dennis, but I didn't see you in the aparratus room today. You feeling alright?" "Yeah physically I'm fine Jack." "Anything you want to talk about?" "Not really. Nothing that should affect the team." "Not to be indelicate Den, but if it affects you it is going to eventually affect the team. You're not on your game and people are going to notice." "I hear you Jack, but I doubt like hell that it is anything any of you guys can help me with, or anybody else for that matter. This is strictly one I'm going to have to workout by myself." "Have it your way Den, just know that we're here if you need us." "Thanks Jack I appreciate it." Jack left at that point and I was out of the tub a few minutes later. I was showered and out to check the car and then on my way home. I didn't call Karl as I knew I was still going to be home before him. I got back to the apartment without incident and upstairs. I got something going for supper and went to check my email. Again there was one from the lawyers right at the top. Dennis, We have a request from Mr Trenton for you to meet at your earliest possible convenience. How do you wish to respond? Jacobs And I had to think about that one. Did I want to get this over and done with, or drag it out in hopes of finding out just what it was Trenton wanted from me? If I saw him soonest, the wondering would be over and it wouldn't be weighing on me during a meet or at finals. If I put him off for a bit, it might well upset any plans he had in motion. Karl would be home in a few minutes and I decided to get his imput to the whole thing. Karl came into the apartment and took one look at me. "Now what?" "Trenton wants to meet soonest. Your thoughts?" "Do it and get it our of your hair." "With or without attorneys?" "With, at least for the first meeting." "You want to be there?" "I'll be close lover, but no I don't necessarily need to know what he has to say. I'll leave it to you what you want me to know." I looked at the time and it was still before 5 so I dialed the lawyers and was put through to Mr Jacobs. "Mr Sawyer. I presume you are calling to repond to my email?" "I am. Please see when is the best time for a meeting. Just Mr Trenton and a lawyer and of course yourself and preferably on neutral ground. The weekends of the 19th and 26th of next month are not available,nor are the 23rd and 30th of March." "I doubt very much that Mr Trenton will be willing to wait that long. I'll get on to his lawyers as soon as we hang up and let you know, possibly later on this evening." "Thank you Mr Jacobs, preferably before 10p or a text will do and I shall see it first thing in the morning." "Very good Mr Sawyer. Try and have a good evening." "You as well sir. Goodbye." "So now we sit and wait all night?" "Yeah pretty much so. Supper will be done in about 5." So we sat down to supper and finished uninterupted and then we got things cleaned up. Then it was on to book work for a couple of hours and finally a little tv. 10pm came and went and we crashed out. Wednesday morning and we were up and at it once again. laps were done without any questions again today. Karl and I were back to the apartment and while he was in the shower I checked my email and indeed there was one there from Mr Jacobs. Dennis, Mr Trenton wishes to meet this weekend and will come here. Confernece room at the convention center can be booked. Will have jet at local airport by 5pm. Please advise. Jacobs Karl walked out from the bedroom and looked at me. "What?" "Trenton wants to meet this weekend at home. Jacobs will have the jet here by 5 pm and we could be home by 7." "Well.....we were looking for an excuse to be away from campus this weekend. This sounds as good as any, and it gets things taken care of." "Or at the very least started in that direction. Ok I'll email him right now so it'll be one of the first things he sees when he get to the office." So I turned around and dashed off a quick "make it so" and then hopped into the shower myself. Soon enough after that we were on our way to classes. Investment vehicles went on without a problem as did the Taxes course, though as I was on my way out Mr Mcembers did call me aside. "You seemed a bit out of it today Dennis. Everything ok?" "Yeah just some personal matters to take care of." "Anything I can help with?" "I doubt it very much. Did you know I was adopted?" "I certainly did not." "Well it seems my birth father has surfaced after all of these years and wants to get to meet me." "Be damned careful Dennis." "I intend to. My lawyers will be there for sure." "I'm thinking a stenographer might well be in order as well." "I'll mention it to my lawyer when I get word if we are on or not." "This has to be a load on your shoulders Dennis. Try and relax." "Right now just going to try and get through the day." I left and made my way over to the student union for my lunch and hang time on the bench. I did check my email and the meeting had been confirmed. I acknowledged the email and suggested the stenographer. I shut down and headed over for Risk /Rewards. With that finally over I went and checked the car and then headed home. I called Mrs Ohanlon to let her know that we would be home Friday night and that there was no need to wait for us. I was going to let Karl call his parents to let them know. I sure didn't feel like cooking tonight and before Karl even got out of his car I was down the stairs. "I just plain don't feel like cooking tonight lover." "Fine by me. Rons?" "Sure thing and we are on our way home this weekend. I've already left word for Mrs Ohanlon." "I'll call home when we get to Rons." We pulled into Rons and didn't notice any familar cars sitting there. So inside and we found a booth. Gladys was soon there and we placed our order and Karl made his call. "Dad says for you to be damned careful talking to this guy." "You told him I was going to have Mr Jacobs there right?" "Yeah, doesn't mean your ass couldn't overload your mouth anyway." "Not going to happen lover." At that point our meals were delivered and we quickly ate and then headed back to the apartment. Book work took over for Karl and I just reviewed my imaginary portfolio and soon enough we were off to bed.
