Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 11:10:00 +0000 From: Andrew Passey Subject: Licence To Drill Part 3 (Young Friends) The first couple of days were difficult, getting used to the set up of the school. Trying not to get lost, trying to concentrate in lessons when my mind was elsewhere. It wasn't that exciting at all, it was just like being at school. So much for exciting secret missions! I was in some classes with Xi but wasn't able to talk to him. Also,I had to play it cool, act natural, it couldn't seem forced. However it wasn't long until I had chance for an interaction. We had swimming and afterwards as soon as we came out of the pool to get changed there was an altercation over the other side of the changing room. "You fucking fag, you were checking out my dick as I got out of the shower" an American boy in our class called Maxwell shouted at Xi, Xi was on the floor in his trunks, holding his face, obviously put there by Maxwell. He stood over him, naked with his hairless dick almost in Xi's face. "You look like you want to suck it" he said, and started to move close to him. "Hey, leave him alone" I said stepping in. "What the fuck is it to do with you? Are you a fag too new boy." He asked wiggling his hips at me. "No and I'm not the one trying to get my pin dick sucked by another boy, get dressed and leave him alone". I said. Max looked like he was about to say something before the teacher came in. "What's going on?" He asked. Realising I needed to help Xi but also mend bridges with Maxwell I spoke up, "Nothing sir, just a misunderstanding and Xi slipped. I'll help him up" I said and gave him my hand. Xi looked grateful, "Get your stuff and get changed by me" I told him and he bustled off to get his towel and bag. "Nicely handled but be careful, that fag will get you into trouble. However you helped me out and saved me an ass whupping from the teacher so I'll ignore what you said so let's call it quits" Maxwell said, shaking my hand before he walked away, Xi came over, already the changing room had emptied out a bit. "Thanks for that" he said in slightly accented English. "No problem, I don't like bullies and you looked like you needed a hand" I said. He smiled, "I certainly did.", his face then fell, "I'm so used to being bullied it's a shock when someone sticks up for me. I'm Xi by the way" he said and gave out his hand, I shook it, "I'm Nick, it's nice to meet you, I'm new here so in need of some friends who aren't bullies!" I said grinning. "Hurry up Xi and Nick, don't be late for your next class" the teacher shouted. I pulled my trunks down as did Xi, he quite obviously was checking me out, no wonder Maxwell went for him! I guess I'd have to chat to him about being subtle but that was for the future. I consciously didn't look at him as he got changed, we headed off to class and sat next to each other in it and for the rest of the week, starting to form a bit of a bond by the weekend. Saturday morning I had to fill Jim in about what happened. "We've got a problem" I said and I told him that boys aren't allowed in other boys rooms. "Yes we know" he said. "Well why did you give me the USB, unless I break in I can't put it in the computer." I said slightly annoyed they hadn't told me this. "Our understanding is that there is a way to get into a room, at least there has been in the past" he said cryptically. "The only way it seems is if you want to mess around with another boy and do sex stuff together but I'm not doing that, let alone having to give Francois a blow job to get him to turn a blind eye" I said in disgust expecting Jim to back me up. "You see, there is another way..." said Jim. I let the horror of his words sit there for a moment before replying... "You mean?......"I said leaving it open ended. "Not necessarily, try and find another way but remember what your orders are." He said. "I do know and I remember being told whatever t takes but some things are out of bounds" I said firmly. "Don't be a naive little boy Nick, you're in a high stakes game, by any means necessary you have to get the information we need, you have to complete the mission. For all we know, Xi's father could be planning anything, an assassination, a kidnapping, releasing a dirty bomb in Zurich...or London" he said. This had gone south pretty quickly and I didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Ok well I'll find another way, it's early days, I need to befriend him first, not scare him off" I said, withholding from Jim that I knew Xi was checking me out. I didn't want him thinking doing sex stuff with Xi was an option for me. Anyway, Xi was probably just curious, seeing how he compared down there rather than anything more than that. Maybe I'd check him out next time so I knew if he was bigger than me. At 2 and a bit inches with some hair I was certainly more developed than Maxwell and a couple of the other boys I saw. For now I put the mission out of my mind best I could and resolved to nuckle down and integrate into school life. The days flew by, without incident, Jim had cut me slack and seemed to be buying into me playing the long game and looking for another solution. Xi and I had become good friends over the preceding weeks. He was a nice boy, shy and lonely but with a wicked sense of humour when you got to know him. He was gentle and kind hearted too, I really grew to like him. It was crazy to think his Dad might be dangerous, that Xi himself might be dangerous. It just all seemed a bit far fetched and I sometimes thought that this might just be another one of Mr Smith's stupid tests. It was the end of the school week and Xi had been a bit off all day. That friday evening, I saw him coming out of Francois's room after being summoned for a chat. He looked a bit upset but said it was fine when I asked what was wrong. I needed to know what was going on though so I went to see Francois. "Hi Nick, you Ok?" He asked. "Yeah all good although I saw Xi was upset. We've become good friends and I wanted to check he was ok" I said. Francois smiled, "He talks very highly of you, he's a good boy and so are you, he's fine, he's just a bit worried. He wants to tell you something and he's worried how you will react. Even if what he tells you is upsetting or confusing for you, I trust you'll handle it diplomatically. He's been through a lot and you're his only friend really" Francois said. I thanked him and went to think, what was Xi upset about telling me about? I started to think I knew but didn't want to face that. Not that I minded but if I knew for sure I would have to tell Jim and well....I could see where this would end up. Jim had flipped recently, he was already losing patience that I'd been there for almost two months and was no further forward. The clock was ticking. And I was worried everything might explode if I didn't come up with an alternative soon. I didn't have to wait long to find out what was going on with Xi though, there was a knock on my door later that evening and Xi was there, asking if I'd go for a walk and a "chat" with him. I got my coat and we walked out into the grounds of the school, the snowy mountains gleaming in the autumnal moonlight. "You know that day you helped me, where Maxwell called me a fag and said I was looking at his dick" he said nervously. " Yes, what of it". I asked. "Well.........it's true. I am and I was". He said. There it was. What I had suspected when Francois mentioned it. "Do you hate me too now?" He asked tearfully. I hugged him, "Don't be silly, you're my best friend in the whole world, I could never hate you" I said. Thing was, I was being honest, he was my best friend and I really liked him. Perhaps I'd got too close to my target, although then again that was my mission so maybe I'd got close enough. I made a joke and we went back to chatting about stuff. However, this did change things, I knew how to get into his room. I just didn't want to go down that route. Or did I? Maybe I needed to try to start thinking of him that way. Fuck this was confusing. We got back to our rooms and I could see he was relieved I was ok with it. "I'm here if you need to talk" I said, "and I'm really glad you told me, that's what friends do" I said smiling. He smiled and said goodnight. I lay there confused still, stage one of my mission was done, I was close to him, stage two was achievable, but I would really have to go down the whatever it takes route and I wasn't sure I could. Jim was agitated as soon as he answered the phone. "We've got chatter something might be happening soon, certainly Xi's father is more active than before, we need intel NOW. You must get that USB into his computer this week." I sighed and told him about Xi being gay. "Perfect, sort it out today". He said. I told him it wasn't that easy. "He's gay. You've got a dick, a bum, a mouth, sounds pretty simple". He said. "Just because he is gay does not mean he'll want to do stuff with me" I said firmly. "Why not? He's horny, and you're an attractive boy. I can't see why he wouldn't want to, particularly if you seduce him" he said. This was getting out of control but I listened as Jim made some suggestions. Finally he hung up and I sat there, with a sinking feeling in my stomach. Fuck. The reality of the situation was hitting me like a train. I knew what I had to do but could I really go through with this? And was it all necessary anyway, maybe it was all just a load of bullshit. I decided to sleep on it and look at it with a clear head in the morning...
