Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2023 02:39:55 -0700 From: Juxepe Albi Subject: Nightlife in L.A. - Chapter 4 Chapter 4 -- Life Goes On As it worked out, both dads were now in the hospital, both comatose. It was three days before they had been discovered and taken to the hospital. Jace's dad had managed to free himself from the chain-lift, but gained a severe concussion from the fall. Gary's dad had a baseball-bat induced concussion. No one knew how to contact their wives, as the kids were nowhere to be found; so the boys' lives continued without further interruption. With their mothers gone, and their fathers hospitalized, it was an easy matter to retrieve all their things from their houses. The only snag being that Adrian, Jace and Gary had to zap into, and out of, the houses and physically carry everything back to Pacific Palisades by hand. It took more than just a few trips in that manner to avoid all their neighbors' seeing them, as they would have, had they used the S-10----we couldn't risk the neighbors' seeing and reporting it. When Monday came around, the kids went to school as though nothing had happened. Their moms would be gone until the end of the month, so they had a few days to create a good story for the school. They would tell the school that they had been thrown out of their homes by their fathers; the school was already quite aware of what had happened to their brothers. The boys told everyone they would be going to live with their grandmothers in England. The moms' spa-cruise had run into a bit of trouble, when their ship, bound for a remote Grecian island, went off-course, and entered into forbidden waters in the Near East. They were intercepted and their ship seized by an Iraqi cruiser illegally outside its Syrian-assigned waters. In the following week, requests came to their schools from an exclusive boys' boarding school in Heligan, Cornwall, requesting their complete school records. By that time, the rumors of their moving to England had spread throughout the schools; and, as a matter of policy, the requested information was sent according to the request and notes placed in their files that they had been withdrawn from school and their records sent elsewhere. Adrian's doctor friends, Sir Benedict Kleery, DM, PhD (Oxford), and Sir Chester St. Michael, DM, PhD (Oxford), had taken care of things with an associate in Cornwall, who had been responsible for the request for their school records. The truth of the matter was that the four boys would be home-schooled by the same tutors who were currently educating the four adopted sons of Dr. Kleery and Dr. St. Michael, as well as Adrian's younger relatives and cousins. Their tutors were adjuncts to the Heligan school, making the entire matter completely legal, and above-board. * ________________________________________________________________________________
