Chapter 38 The rest of November ended quickly, as the dark clouds and cold winds of December came rolling in. Dan's court hearing was scheduled for the second Monday of the month. The District Attorney encouraged Rick to attend, while discouraging Kyle's appearance. Rick agreed to come and purposefully kept it from Kyle. The D.A. was clear that Dan wasn't going to take a plea deal, which meant that Kyle would have to testify eventually. Rick was also given notice of Ronda's sentencing. It was scheduled for the next day, and he wasn't certain he wanted to attend it. He hadn't spoken to his soon-to-be ex-wife since the day he found out about Will Parker. He brought Kyle and Charlie to the jail, but let them do all the visiting, while he sat back, avoiding eye contact. The visits were mostly for Charlie, anyway, since Rick and Kyle were pretty much done with her. The Friday before Dan's hearing, Rick met with his attorney, Rebecca, to finalize his divorce and Kyle's adoption paperwork. Rebecca had reviewed and sought a consultation regarding Will's custody agreement, and she couldn't find anything fishy about it. Once Ronda was sentenced, Rick would be Kyle's legal father with full custody, while Will would have visitation every other week, so long as he paid child support and helped provide for Kyle with other expenses. Will would also pay all of Rick's legal fees regarding Kyle's adoption, the divorce and custody arrangements. A nagging feeling kept gnawing at the back of his mind. Will's proposal and his too-easy-going attitude kept rubbing him the wrong way. There was just something slimy about Will he couldn't figure out. Kyle and Ry sat together at lunch. Neither of Ry's parents had come for him nor tried to contact Rick. Ry didn't know how to feel about it, so depression had kicked in. Kyle pointed out that Ry's parents never really seemed that involved in his life, anyway. "I mean, they spent all their time in their room whenever I came over." Ry acknowledged the point, but despite Kyle's attempts to point out the obvious, it only hurt Ry more to realize the neglect. "What's up?" Cody said in passing. Since the start of swimming season, he had spent most of his time with the team. Kyle tried responding, but Cody only moved on. "You two break up?" Steve asked. Kyle had taken to running his vampire game during lunch as a means to kill time during the crappy weather. "I don't know, maybe," Kyle relented. "I think my cousin is gay, if you're interested," Jamie said. "Thanks, I think?" "What makes you think your cousin is gay?" Ry asked. "He dresses really nice and likes to go to clubs." "I don't think that makes you gay," Donny said. "Yeah, my mom likes to get dressed up and go dancing, and she's homophobic as fuck," Danny said. Unfortunately, Mr. Nader walked by and gave Danny detention for swearing. Rick picked the boys up, since Kyle had his second visit with Will. They drove back to the house, where Ry was to be dropped off. Ry was warned to not make any more bets with Charlie, and Ry grumbled his agreement. Lydia was in the house to make sure they boys behaved themselves. "It's great to see you again, Kyle," Will said in his usual, over-friendly demeanor. He shook Kyle's hand before taking a seat opposite at Rebecca's conference table. "How have you been since we last spoke?" "Fine, I guess," Kyle said, a little off put by the man's jovial attitude. "Well, Fine is better than not, I suppose," Will said, maintaining his smile. The conversation was light. Will talked more than Kyle, who only gave brief responses. He talked mostly about his side of the family, especially his father and grandfather, who made their fortunes in the oil industry. Will took his inheritance and went to college to study computer science. It was in college that he met Ronda and they started dating. "Your mother was gorgeous, with a passion that blazed like a wide fire. If you ever thought she was a fighter now, I can tell you some stories that would floor you." Kyle noted a glint in the man's eyes, then the briefest moment of sadness. "Did you love my mom?" Kyle asked. "I loved your mother, very much...at least early on," Will replied. "We were both very young, and I don't think we knew what love really was until you were born. I wasn't the perfect husband, but I did try to be the perfect father to you. One day, when you meet a girl you like, I'm sure you might understand." "I'm gay," Kyle said. "I wouldn't have guessed," Will said. "Is that a problem?" Kyle asked, with a slight attitude. "Not at all," Will said, unbothered by Kyle's tone. "In fact, you have an uncle who is also gay, an aunt who is a lesbian and a transgender cousin. Despite the conservative history of our family, my generation seems to have started a new trend of liberalism. I don't have any issues with you be gay, Kyle. My only concerns are your happiness and well-being. Besides, I'm not in any rush to be a grandfather, since I haven't had a chance to be a father, so you being gay will only delay things all that much longer, if you know what I mean." Kyle wasn't sure if he was being mocked or not, so he let it go. He thought that Will meant no harm, but somehow, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was just insulted. The topic changed to the video game system that Will gave Kyle. Will then brought up that he had never really been into video games. He had preferred playing tabletop roleplaying games, which instantly brightened Kyle's mood. The rest of the visit was spent with the two discussing the highlights of their experiences. Will promised to look for his old books for the next visit. As Kyle got ready to leave, Will asked Rick if the child support payment was on time, which Rick affirmed, while checking his messages. There was a frantic message from Lydia. Ry's mother had come to the house looking for her son. Lydia said that the woman seemed to be on something. Lydia told her that Ry wasn't there and to come back when Rick got home. Lydia had Charlie and Ry hide in Kyle's room. Ry's mother was still out front yelling her head off, and Terry was sitting with her. The message was left only 5 minutes before, so he called her back. "Are the boys safe?" Rick asked, desperation setting in. He could feel Will's eyes on him. The last thing he needed was for Will to think that his place wasn't safe for Kyle. "They're shaken, especially Ry. That bitch is still freaking out. Do you want me to call the cops?" Lydia asked. She sounded stressed and desperate. "No, not yet. I'm on my way," Rick said before hanging up. "What's wrong?" Will asked, concerned. "It's nothing," Rick said. "It doesn't sound like nothing, Rick. Are Charlie and Ry okay? What's going on?" Rick sighed and told the room what was going on. "We're coming with you," Rebecca said, telling Antonio to grab the camera. "Here," Will said, handing Rick his keys and pushing buttons on his phone. "What for?" Rick asked. "My car is a lot faster than your truck. I'm calling an officer friend of mine who will give you an escort to your place. He owes me for a job I did. Just get there as fast as you can." Rick didn't have time to argue, so he left as fast as he could, leaving Rebecca to bring Kyle. Will's car was a sports car, and it took him a few minutes to adjust after having had his truck for several years. Within a few minutes, a police car, sirens blaring and light flashing, zoomed in front of him. Rick hoped it was Will's client as they sped through town. The cop and Rick arrived to see Mrs. Doernbecher grab a large rock and throw it at the living room window. Fortunately, she was too intoxicated to do it properly and she fell along with the stone. Rick assumed she was either very drunk or on meth. He had a few former employees who used the drug and noticed similar twitches and spasms. The cop called for backup and allowed Rick to run into the house. Terry was in the living room with his bat and said that Lydia was in the boys. Rick went to Kyle's room and found Lydia holding both boys, who were in tears. Charlie rushed into his dad's arms, nearly taking them both to the floor. Rick bent down, and Ry came running over as well. He kissed both boys on their wet cheeks and tried to calm them down. Lydia explained everything in more detail, but there wasn't really anything major that wasn't in the message. Antonio came in a few minutes later and said that Rebecca and Will were outside. At first Rick was pissed that Will had come, but then remembered that Rick took Will's car. Rick let the boys go and told them to stay in the room. Lydia offered to stay with them as well, which Rick thanked her for. The scene outside was chaotic. Two more cop cars arrived. The police officers had managed to tackle Ry's mother and cuff her. She was sitting in the back seat of a cruiser still screaming and thrashing around. Mr. Doernbecher was talking to one of the officers. He looked like he hadn't bathed since Rick last saw him. Will was talking to the officer who escorted Rick, while Rebecca was talking to the officer-in-charge. Rick didn't know what to do, so he stood on the porch waiting for someone to call him over. A crowd of neighbors, mostly the elderly ones, started to gather around the police line. Little, old, gossipy women always annoyed him, but there was nothing he could do to stop them. Detective Dunham arrived on the scene. Rick assumed that it was because his address was flagged. Thoughts of moving the boys out of state crossed his mind. The detective walked up to Rick and asked for a word inside. She greeted Terry, then said, "Is Ryland Doernbecher here?" "Yes," Rick said. "He's in Kyle's room." Terry interjected, "My wife didn't want him going with that crazy junky." "I understand," Dunham said. She asked Rick to bring everyone out, so she could speak to them. Rick came back carrying Charlie and holding Ry's hand. Lydia moved swiftly to her husband, who held her tightly. Detective Dunham took everyone's statements, and was very professional. Towards the end of the interviews, Rebecca came into the house. "Where's Kyle?" Rick asked quietly. "He's with Antonio. He's shaken and worried about Ry, but he's okay," She said. Rick introduced his lawyer to the detective. They exchanged business cards and had a private conversation in the kitchen. About this time, Will entered the house. Rick almost lost it, but remembered what was at stake. This is not good," Will said somberly. He looked at Ry and said, "I'm sorry this is happening. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through." "What do you want, Will?" Rick said. "To help anyway I can, of course." Rick handed Will his keys and said, "You can start by leaving." "Yes, I can understand why," Will said. He turned to walk away, stopped and turned back. In a low voice he said, "I know you don't trust me. I wouldn't either, if I were you. However, this doesn't change the arrangement. Clearly Ry's parents have issues that are unrelated to Kyle, you and Charlie. If there's anything, and I mean ANYTHING, do not hesitate to call me." "Thanks," Rick said. He heard the sincerity in Will's voice, but still.... Will made to leave a second time but came to an abrupt stop as he almost collided with the officer-in-charge. "I need to speak with Detective Dunham before we proceed." "What is it, Sergeant?" Detective Dunham said, coming around the corner from the dining room. "We need the Doernbecher boy to come with us." "What?" Rick asked. "Why?" "His father is taking him home," the sergeant replied. "Excuse me, Sergeant," Will said, "I'm William Parker, the boy's attorney. I'm afraid I'm going to have to object." Rick nearly strained his neck with how fast his head spun around. He watched as Will produced a business card and handed it to the cop. "My client was the victim of domestic, physical abuse at the hand of his father, and his mother is clearly on something and needs to detox, before she can take custody of young Ryland." Rick couldn't believe what he heard. How the fuck did he know about Ry's situation? The officer examined the card and said, "I'm gonna have to check this out." "By all means," Will said, returning to his cheerful state. "My state bar number is on the card, and you can find the directory online or call the 1-800 number." The officer walked away, and Will turned to Rick and said, "I hope you don't mind me staying a little bit longer." ***Coming Soon, Chapter 39***
