This story is completely fiction and any resemblance to anyone living or dead is wholly coincidental. This story may not be published, or reprinted, without the express permission of the author. In this chapter you will note there is no editor's corner because Richie has spent several days in hospital in ICU and while he is home he is unable to sit at a computer for very long periods. I'm sure you join me is wishing him a speedy recovery. Any errors and spelling mistakes you might find. Well the buck stops here. "Guys I have to make a big decision. As you know I have my job here and the one in Toronto and spend one week here and the other down there?" They all nodded their heads wondering what was coming next, "Well I'm finding it more and more difficult to do both jobs as well as I would like to so I must give one of them up and the one I have decided to resign from is the one with the Triangle project in Toronto. I believe that the work we are doing here is important and there are several other good people working in Toronto doing a lot of good on the project so I'll be leaving it in safe hands, plus I'm not away from the love of my life Bentley every second week but that's just an aside." He finished off with a laugh. Both boys got up to hug and thank him while Bentley being Bentley shed a tear. Damien continued speaking, "We have a waiting list of more than a dozen boys waiting to join and some of them are sad cases and I know you are aware but we have to draw the line somewhere and decide that we can't take anymore. This hurts but we have to draw the line somewhere and say sorry we can't take you. So far apart from the storm and of course the local redneck problem we have been lucky and it looks like we will show a profit on our production this year but if we have a bad year with too many mouths to feed we could be in big trouble. What I'm getting at is that we have to set a benchmark which when it is reached we have no option but to turn boys away." There was silence for a while as this thought sank in before Jordon spoke and it was with some anger in his voice, "And which of us is going to say to a young twelve or fourteen year old who has been abused by his parents for years because they found out he was gay who now has now where to go and no one to turn to go away because we can't help him?" He paused to let that sink in and when no one answered he continued, "I'm certainly not and I don't think you have the guts either Damien. Look at the way you went dashing off to rescue those poor guys from the cure farm knowing full well we had nowhere at the time for them to sleep. I'm sorry but we should have an open house policy and never ever turn any kid away who needs our help." "You realize we could go broke?" Damien said. "Possibly but so far something as always turned up and let's hope our luck continues." On that note the meeting broke up with Geoff and Jordon heading off to do some chores while Damien composed his letter of resignation. He had just finished when Bentley came bursting into the front office making Damien, Veronica and young Nathan almost jump out of their skins, "hey lover do we have we have about two thousand dollars to spare?" Damien looked at him as if he was from another planet, "Not really but Bentley don't just come bursting in like that scaring the living daylights out of us and why do you that much money?" "I just got a phone call from the bakery in town were we get all our bread and stuff from and he's closing down, can't compete with the grocery store anymore and he has offered us all his equipment, ovens, mixing machines trays everything for two grand. This way we can bake our own bread and everything fresh every day." "Sounds like a good offer but where are we going to put all that equipment the kitchen and pantry are far too small." Damien said. "I thought about that and that shed out the back of the house which is used as a junk room right now if it was cleaned out and painted would be ideal." Bentley pointed out. Damien could see that his boyfriend had thought everything out before bursting in and while they had been talking young Nathan had been punching figures into the computer and announced, "Based on what we are paying for bread right now, the cost of the machinery and estimating the amount of power being used for the ovens and so on we would have it paid within ten months and four days." "Nathan you're incredible." Bentley said giving him a hug and a kiss which made him blush. While Damien studied the spreadsheet Nathan had on his screen, "OK, we'll find the money somehow tell the baker he's got a deal just as long as he spends a couple of weeks training a couple of our boys and you Bentley to be bakers." Once again the farm project was on its way to becoming self-sufficient with Damien thinking that in time they could send their own wheat and barley to the flour mills and use it in their own bakery. Veronica who doesn't say very much and was spending less and less and time in the office leaving all the computer work to Nathan especially now she had a young adopted baby to look after, spoke up this time, "I suppose the next thing you'll want is a small store or market stall at the entrance to the farm so we can sell our own produce?" "Funny you should say that Veronica because I've been giving that some thought as well and now we have the orchards at George and Martha's farm in full production, plus we are producing according to Nathan more milk than we can sell in the village or consume on the farm, plus the twins have now sent our egg production through the roof we could build a stall to start off with and then maybe a store and sell our own produce." Later that night at supper Damien passed all this additional information and ideas onto Jordon and Geoff who were very excited with the whole idea. George was included in the conversation agreeing with everything and also pointing out that Martha had planted strawberries when they first moved and the crop was incredible producing large sweet tender berries. It was early the next day when Damien received a phone call which he took in the office, "Hello Damien." Said a voice which he had heard just a few days previous. A sinking feeling came into the pit of his stomach because he recognized the voice of the person who provided the cash for the purchase of the neighbouring farm. Damien really thought that the guy had called to cancel the deal. "Oh hi I'm surprised to hear from you again so soon." Damien said. "Well I'll be in the area tomorrow and would like to come along and meet you all so that maybe we can help you in other ways if possible." Breathing a sigh of relief Damien said, "We'd be delighted to meet you and actually put a face to all that cash." The guy still didn't say who he was but it was arranged that him and his partner would be there for lunch. Damien was still was puzzled as he hung up the phone but was distracted by other matters which required his attention. He was beginning to feel a bit guilty due to the fact that his resignation in Toronto hadn't gone down too well and they were calling and begging him to consider on a daily basis. It was later in the day when Jordon received some distressing news. The young guy who was leading the Redneck youths on the weekend who shook Jordon and Geoff's hand when they took food to the gate for them was found outside his home so badly beaten that he was now in intensive care. The police had arrested his father in relation to the beating. Jordon wanted to go down to the hospital right away but Damien suggested that he waited until he is out of intensive care because he was reported to be in a coma anyway, "He won't know your there Jordon." Damien explained when he got off the phone to his police contact. "His father found out that he accepted food from you while protesting and shook your hand and then he went berserk hitting him with a garden shovel into unconsciousness. It was only when a couple of neighbours who heard the ruckus came running and dragged him of otherwise the guy would be dead." Jordon was most upset at this news. He had been through elementary and high school with this guy who's name was Brian. Jordon was sure it was only because he had a redneck father just like he had that he acted the way he did, "Brian was a good guy but he was brainwashed by his father just like mine tried to do to me. I feel so sorry for him and if I hadn't gone to the gate with food for them I'm sure none of this would have happened so it's all my fault." After saying this he began sobbing and crying and while Geoff told all the others to go away it still took him a long time to calm Jordon down. "I want to go see him in hospital." Jordon told Geoff and tell him how much we care. I know he's not gay because he has a girlfriend but because what happened is down to us we should go see him." "I don't think your mom or Damien will approve but I'll go ask them. If you ask and they say no you'll only get more upset and say things you might regret later." Surprisingly enough Jennifer said yes but with some reservations, "I think we should make sure that his father hasn't got bail just in case, although I doubt it." Jennifer also said she would drive them into the hospital but would take Eddie along as security just in case. It was late afternoon when they arrived at the hospital and as they made their way to the ICU they met the doctor who looked after Jennifer when Jordon's father tried to kill her and he explained he was looking after Brian. "You can spend a few minutes with him but you might not get any response because we have him in an induced coma. Also we're not sure if he is going to have some permanent brain damage but we won't know that for some time yet. He was lucky not to lose his life." Jordon and Geoff went in to find a nurse sitting at his bedside. Brian was over six foot with blonde hair and blue eyes not that you could see them because his eyes were closed and his hair was still matted with spots of blood. His normal tanned face was pale and sickly so different from the star hockey player that he was turning out to be before his father attacked him. Jordon was finding it hard to keep his composure it is was only Geoff hanging onto him that he managed to cope. Smiling the nurse moved away suggesting that if they talk to him he will more likely be aware that they were there and it would help stimulate the brain. Jordon sat by the side of the bed holding Brian's hand whispering, "Brian its Jordon and Geoff and were so sorry about what happened to you. I feel it was my fault for talking to you on the weekend, but just remember we're here for you and want you to get better. Your girlfriend wouldn't want to see you like this so hurry up and get better buddy." Brian's eyelids began to flicker slightly and Jordon called the nurse who said that was a sign that he was hearing what you're saying. The doctor came in saying that they should leave know and let him rest and recover, "We are doing all we can but it is going to take time and lot of willpower on Brian's part to pull through. On the way home Jordon was very quiet holding Geoff's hand all the way. It was plain to see that he was very upset at what had happened to an old school friend who while he had been against Jordon and Geoff for being gay deep down he still wanted to be friends it was only his father who had prevented that. Later that night lying in bed next to his lover Jordon again broke down and cried as he recalled that sick pale face lying so helpless in that hospital bed, "When is all this terrible hatred going to end?" He asked Geoff, "We have all these poor boys coming here who are mistreated and abused because of their sexuality which is how they were born and can't help being who they are. Some of these young guys will be scarred for life through the ignorance of their parents and others." Geoff we must never stop doing what we are doing in fact if possible we should get bigger and bigger helping as many boys as we can overcome the trauma of being a homosexual in a heterosexual world." "Jordon you need to realise that we can't save all the young gays in the world but I will certainly help you save and help as many as we can." With love in their eyes, a deep affectionate love which was growing stronger every day the two embraced and kissed before going to sleep as the usually did in each other's arms. Next day at lunchtime Damien waited with baited breath for the arrival of the mysterious benefactors who had put up the money so they could buy Jeff Bennett's farm. The guys were just washing up ready to sit down to lunch when a Mercedes Benz pulled up at the front door and young guy who looked to be in his late twenties early thirties got out. Dressed in a suit and tie he looked every part the prosperous business man. Damien went forward to greet him and they shook as the young guy introduced himself has Gordon Bennett, "You're not related to Jeff Bennett by any chance?" An amazed Damien asked. "Yes I'm one of his sons and I would appreciate if you didn't let on to him that I had bought the farm for you guys?" Damien assured him that his secret was safe with them but he then asked why. , "Well you see I'm gay and I live with my partner in Alberta, who sends his apologies but we had several meetings today we both couldn't get out of. We're one of the more successful law firms in Alberta. Both mom and dad had a problem coming to terms with the fact that I was gay which is why after I got my law degree I moved away. When my partner Francis and I heard about your project and then discovered dad was having trouble coping since mom died we decided to give you the money to buy the farm so dad could retire. After thinking about it some more we decided that we would like to become more involved in what you're doing here. We are a prosperous company so money is no problem and want to help so what do you need?" At first Damien was speechless but then suggested that he comes inside to meet everybody and have some lunch, "The only thing we ask is that dad never knows where the money came from." "That's ok, he's leaving tomorrow anyway for the lakes and I'll make sure Ben and Chris and a couple of the others who'll be living there don't say a word." Damien told him. Gordon then went on to explain the reason behind the secrecy and the fact that they wanted to help the project, "When I came out to mom and dad they didn't fully understand what being gay was all about anyway but when it did sink in that I preferred men to women mom suddenly realised she wouldn't be getting any grandchildren from me anyway. Plus when my brother and I both told them we didn't want to be farmers that was the last straw. We both went to college got our degrees and are successful in what we do. I met my partner Francis and we have been together for almost twenty years and very happy to boot. I felt guilty about leaving the farm and it was my suggestion that dad was getting too old to run the place and should think about selling. Francis and I have been following this project of Jordon's and think it's wonderful that a couple of young guys like him and Geoff should be doing what they are doing. We talked things over and have decided to throw our weight behind the project and offer whatever financial assistance we can, so what do you need most?" Damien was dumfounded at the offer and asked if he could bring Jordon, Geoff and Jennifer into the meeting, which Gordon agreed. Once all three made it into the room the introductions were made and then Damien outlined the story behind the money, "That's a very generous offer Mr Bennett." Jordon said. "Please call me Gordon and what you doing here is commendable and we feel almost compelled to help so what do you need?" Without hesitation Jordon came back with an answer, "We aren't very happy at the length of the waiting of abused boys out there and would love to take more in and one long term project would be a brand new dormitory to house at least two dozen boys while in the short term we need cash to buy the bakery which is closing down so we can bake our own bread and cakes." He then went on to explain about Bentley's long term plan to establish a bakery and then eventually a store selling our own produce, "We are already well on the way to becoming self-sufficient which is our main aim and then to sell our produce which is surplus to our needs. I can see down the track that more land will be needed but that's a long way off. Damien will tell you about the so called `cure' facilities which some church groups run and the shocking conditions under which the boys are kept and the shocking tactics used to make them `normal and straight' which of course we know is not possible. We can't thank you and your partner enough for the generous offer you are making and we had already decided to continue to call your father's farm `Bennett's farm' which is even more fitting now than it was." The boys and Damien then took Gordon on a grand tour of the farm including George and Martha's property as well and what he saw really impressed their new benefactor. He also looked in at the school before meeting Bentley, George and Martha in the kitchen were Bentley gave him a big hug when he learnt that he could have his bakery. During the rest of the tour Gordon met all the other boys working on the farm and by then school was over for the day so he also met the younger kids as well. Before he left he hugged Jordon, then Geoff and finally Damien saying, "I know I speak for Francis as well as myself when I say what you guys are doing here is great and we are more than happy to be a part of it and of course Damien any legal matters can go through our law firm at no charge at all." As the stood at the gate waving Gordon off all of them marvelled at the good luck they were having and Damien was already thinking of interviewing at least four more boys because of the four moving to Bennett's farm leaving space at the home farm especially now the caravan was empty. Jennifer as head of the school was the only one experiencing problems right now because she found that one of the new teachers was one hundred percent homophobic which was something she didn't expect or foresee when conducting the interviews. The teacher couldn't be just dismissed because of their religious views and beliefs so she was at a loose end on what action to take. The younger boys from the farm attending school were becoming terrified of him thinking that it was almost like being back at the `cure ` facility from which they were rescued. Jennifer tried talking to him but her pleas for him to keep his thoughts and ideals to himself fell on deaf ears and it was impossible being a small three teacher school to not have the boys attend at least some of his classes. Phone calls to the state education department didn't offer any solution because a teacher cannot be dismissed because of his or her beliefs. The only answer they could offer was could he be tempted to take a transfer to another school even if it meant offering him a promotion. As far as Jennifer was concerned this went well and truly against the grain as she pondered the question why should he get more money and a promotion for being so bigoted. Jennifer made it known that he was available for transfer through the normal education department channels but she didn't get any show of interest because his reputation had preceded him, and he had apparently cause problems with his bible bashing in other schools before he became a burden around her neck. It looked as if for the time being she was stuck with him and she had to reschedule the young gay boy's classes so that she took them in the afternoon and the other female teacher in the mornings. At the regular board meeting Jennifer suggested that they look into the hiring of a qualified counsellor to help some of the boys get over the trauma they were experiencing. As Damien pointed out this was going to be costly but he would shop around because such qualified personnel were few and far between in rural communities. A list of five boys for interview had also been drawn up for tomorrow morning. A working detail consisting of six boys had begun to prepare the area designated for the bakery with plans to move the equipment in the following week. One cost which they hadn't thought of was the bringing in of extra power lines to cope with the increased amount of electricity required to run all the extra equipment being installed. Nathan the computer geek and now the financial officer, with Veronica spending more time at home looking after Jennifer Louise her and Eddie's adopted daughter. Nathan found the extra dollars in the egg production fund which was growing all the time under the twins Timmy and Jimmy's expert management, "It just means they'll have to wait another six months before they can purchase another incubator for fertile eggs." Nathan explained. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miles and Keith were delighted with the progress their adopted son Jason was making at school. He wasn't all that interested in sporting things unlike Miles, but academically he was thriving and way ahead of his class which was the special one for gifted children. Although he was only eight coming up to nine years old in about a months' time he was super intelligent and also making a name for himself as the schools heartthrob and Romeo. He had already had several girlfriends broke their hearts and moved on to the next and the guys decided that it might be time for the birds and bees talk. Both of them were nervous about talking to Jason about sex mainly because when it came to women both of them had limited experience anyway. So after supper before they sat down to watch TV and after the homework was completed Miles suggested that they have a soda each and sit at the table so they could have a little chat. Jason surprised them by saying, "Is that going to be the sex talk all fathers are supposed to give their sons? Well don't worry dads I know all about that and how babies are born and how my seed helps to make them. Of course I don't have much seed coming out yet but I will soon when my testicles drop and my voice changes." Miles and Keith just sat there dumfounded and for a while speechless, "But how do you know you only produce a little bit of seed or sperm as it's called?" Miles asked when he recovered from the last statement out of their son's mouth. "Oh silly dad, I jack off just like any other normal healthy kid my age, Didn't you and daddy Keith?" "Well, err yes I suppose we did but how did you come to learn all this stuff?" Keith asked trying so hard not to laugh. "Oh mainly from the internet and reading books." Was the cheerful reply almost as if this was an everyday subject everyone spoke about. "That's all well and good Jason but did your books and the internet also explain that you had to be in love with someone before you had sex and thought about having babies plus if you didn't want to get a girl pregnant you had to take precautions?" Miles said. "Oh yes, I know all about condoms and stuff like that and would never have sex with a girl without one on my penis. The only thing I'm not sure about is how you know when you're in love?" Laughing Keith said, "Are you sure you're not a fifty year old midget? Regarding being in love, well that's something you will know you are when it happens, but what we would like you to do is try and settle down with one steady girlfriend and get to know each other and it would be great if you put the thought of sex out of your mind for at least another ten years." "But I get so hot and sweaty and my dick gets hard when I'm kissing a girl and I don't think I can wait that long. When did you two first have your sex experience?" Both guys blushed and looked at each other not sure if they should reveal that sort of information or not. Miles decided to go ahead and come out with the truth, "Jason my son I was fifteen before I had sex with a boy and then we didn't go all the way for several months until we were certain this was what we wanted, and no we didn't use a condom when we went all the way, because we didn't have to worry about getting pregnant, and before we go any further we take it that you understand what daddy Keith and I do when we make love?" Oh yes, I looked that up as well and know all about what you two do. Before you ask it doesn't bother me none either that I have two dads and no mom or that you will always make love different to what I will." Jason sat back with a contented look on his face taking a sip of his soda while Miles and Keith just sat there looking stunned. This certainly wasn't how they envisaged their talk would go. After several minutes of silence Keith said, "Well you've certainly thought it all out beforehand but just remember to be careful and try not to have sex for sex sake but to make love with someone you really care for." "I will dads just like the both of you do and you have to remember that, as my teachers keep telling you I am super intelligent and always think things through so you don't have to worry about me and yes one day I will find the right girl but until I do like most normal boys I'll just have to be content with jacking off every night. Oops maybe that's too much information." He stopped speaking to see if he got a reaction from his dads and when he didn't he continued, "I love you both dads and will always try not to embarrass you by doing something stupid or getting a girl pregnant so don't worry." There was silence for a while until Miles suggested they watch TV before Jason's bedtime and they moved onto the sofa with Jason snuggling down between the two of them. Later when he was in bed Miles and Keith went over the evening's conversation laughing themselves silly at some of the things there super intelligent son had said with Keith repeating what he had said earlier, "I still think he's a fifty year old midget." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The next day back at the farm Chris and Ben moved out of the barn dormitory and into Bennett's farm taking Michael and Aaron the two new fifteen year olds with them. Chris was old enough to drive so they would be travelling in an old truck which was left behind to and from the main farm house. There would be two security guys on hand all the time as well but essentially Chris was in charge. Being a four bedroomed house and with the boys doubling up because they were in relationships it was possible to move another one maybe two boys up there once the others had settled in. At that morning's meeting Nathan complained at the cost of condoms and how many the boys were using causing Jordon, Geoff and Damien to smile and Barbara to frown, "Also I'm going to have start ordering lube by the gallon the amount were using. The only problem is I haven't found a boyfriend yet so I can use these things." That last remark did it and no one could keep a straight face with everyone laughing so much that tears ran down their cheeks. Jordon got up and gave Nathan a hug and kiss on the cheek saying, "Don't worry Nathan someone will come along soon I'm sure and be your boyfriend." "I hope so because I'm sick of doing ..." He stopped in mid-sentence suddenly realizing that Barbara was in the room, "Well you guys know what I mean." Damien announced that he had spoken to the architect regarding the accommodation block and he promised to have some plans by the end of the month. Just then George came in to join the meeting with another problem which no one had thought about, "We are producing more human waste than we can handle especially since the school opened and with this new block about to be built we will have an even bigger problem and stench." He told them. "What's the answer?" Damien asked. "I really don't know unless we install at least another very large septic tanks which will cost us. Plus I need a lot more farm equipment at least two more tractors as we get bigger and bigger we need to spend more on equipment." Damien sighed and shook his head, "Leave it with me and I'll see what we can do to find the money somewhere." By the time they had discussed all these worrying money issues it was time to interview four new potential newcomers. The first two were from a church group with dubious methods and ways of looking after the young boys who came under their care. Jordon and Geoff went outside to greet them asking the so called pastor who brought them to wait outside and they would first of all talk to the boys alone. He wasn't too keen on the idea giving both boys glances that would kill a cat. The boys themselves also looked terrified as Jordon and Geoff first took them to the kitchen to collect some milk and cookies to take with them. Barbara couldn't stay because she had a school meeting so it was just the two boys and Damien who met the new potential inmates. After Jordon had introduced Damien they asked their names and ages, "I'm Darren and this is my brother Lucas. I'm fourteen and Lucas is twelve." He explained. They went through the normal questions regarding there background before explaining how the farm worked and so on. Jordon then asked if they had any questions, "Yes just one." Darren said who appeared to do most of the talking for the two of them, "Damien will you be fucking us every night or will we be shared around?" There was a shocked silence as this question sank in then Damien said, "What do you mean Darren?" "Well either Pastor Mark who brought us here or Pastor Evan used to take it in turns to come to our room and fuck us. They said it was the job of young boys to keep those who clothed and fed them sexually satisfied and we thought this went on everywhere." Jordon could see that Damien was getting very hot under the collar and was ready to go outside and smash the face in of Pastor Mark so hard that his mother wouldn't recognize him, "Calm down Damien it won't do to take the law into our own hands. Why don't you call your police contact and see if he can come out here right away while we delay that ratbag outside." A calmer Damien agreed and went to make the call while Jordon spoke to the two boys, "What those two guys were doing to you was wrong and against the law and they need to be arrested by the police. Would you be willing to explain to a very nice policeman friend of our exactly what used to happen so we can do something about so that other boys don't get abused like you did." The boys agreed with Darren pointing out, "We weren't the only ones they had other boys also who got the same as we did." This disgusted the boys who assured them that nothing like that happened here, "You never know you might meet a nice guy your age and go into a relationship with him but only if you want to. You will never ever be forced to have sex with any one you didn't want to." The younger of the two Lucas began to cry and both boys went to comfort him and find out why. Between sobs he told them, "Every night that they had me I used to bleed and still do whenever I go to do a poo." Jordon looked at Geoff with a horrified look on his face before assuring Lucas that as soon as the police arrive and take their statements they will take him to the hospital to be checked out. Damien came back in telling them the police were on the way and he wanted to really go outside this time and do some physical harm to the guy waiting patiently outside. Jordon said, "Don't do that Damien otherwise you'll end up in jail as well, but I think we should call security and make sure he doesn't make a run for it before the cops arrive." Damien thought that was a good idea and called the gate asking them to make sure he didn't leave and to use as much force as they wanted. About ten minutes later a police car arrived and the guy tried to make a run for it guessing right away what was happening but our security guys tackled him to the ground and before he knew it he was sitting in the back of a police car. Two detectives a man and a women came into the office and spoke with the two boys and after about thirty minutes both had given detailed statements of what used to happen every night not only to them but other boys as well. One of the detectives made a couple of phone calls telling Damien and the boys that a team were on the way to raid the place. About twenty minutes later he got another phone call to tell him that all the adults had been arrested and taken into custody. Whoever was on the other end of the line spoke at great length and the detective got a worried look on his face glancing at Damien from time to time, "We have a problem." He said, "While everyone has been taken into custody there are six boys who range in ages from six to sixteen with no were to go." We'll take them." Jordon and Geoff yelled at the same time with Damien just a few seconds behind them. After further conversation on the phone the detective informed them that the boys would be here within the hour. With all their statements taken and everything completed the two detectives with their prisoner in tow departed leaving Damien, Jordon and Geoff along with the two new boys sitting staring at each until Damien spoke, :Were the fuck are we going put them?" ... To be continued: Writers' corner: Well this chapter was mainly at the farm and I don't think it was any surprise that the money source was the gay son of Geoff Bennett the retiring farmer. He and his partner will certainly come in useful in the future as the whole farm project continues to expand and if anything gets too big too quick. I had a smile on my face as young Jason gave Miles and Keith a sex lesson in such an innocent way he is going to do very well for himself with the young ladies as he gets older of that I'm sure. Being super intelligent he is going to be handful later as he matures. I know because my partner and I had an adopted son just like Jason except he was gay but he was still a handful. We didn't hear from Fred and Martha and more than likely won't until Fred finishes his jail term. Meanwhile Nathan the geek also showed he had a sense of humour with his references to how many condoms are being used and buy lube by the gallon. But then for me the funniest bit was when George brought up the question of sanitation. If this was china the waste product would be used to fertilize vegetables and so on but that's not an option here. Then came the disturbing news of the terrible abuse the boys in the church home were receiving. Luckily Damien was able to get something done and done quickly which was all well and good but if they take the extra boys they are going to be overcrowded once again. Plus another point not mentioned at the end of this chapter is that the school is full to capacity as well. I'm sure the boys and Damien along with the rest of the gang will work things out in the next chapter. In the meantime could you please write me and let me know what you think of this and all my other stories. Hugs Trevor Supertev699@hotmail.com
