"I agree." Jonathon replied, "But I think a blind eye turned away on the odd night now and then wouldn't do much harm and needn't be broadcast for all and sundry to know about. I have spoken to Brent, Davey's roommate. He is quite happy and willing to spend a couple of nights in my room on the quiet if it means Davey will be performing at his peak in Moscow."
Much heated discussion followed which went on for some time until the head coach announced that this was getting them nowhere. He would make the final decision and let them all know what that was in the morning.
True to his word the next morning the head coach handed down his decision that he would allow during the camp for Davey and Johnny to spend one night together on the understanding that the whole thing is kept secret.
This of course made the boys very happy and Davey's state of mind regarding his training improved considerably. The boys decided that half way through the camp they would spend a night together. The head coach also requested that the two boys along with Jonathon meet him in his office.
Not sure what this was about all three were just a little bit nervous when they knocked on his door and were invited in. He invited them to sit down before explaining what this meeting was all about, "We do have a little problem here." He explained, "Russia is very anti-gay and homosexuality is against the law and punishable by a long jail term. Therefore boys we have to be very careful because the Russian authorities will be watching you two very closely.
I suspect that your rooms at the athletes village will be bugged about which we will of course protest but I urge you to be very, very careful boys and this means no kissing or holding hands in public. I appreciate for two young guys like you in love this will be difficult but if the Russians can get you disqualified they will.
Davey you are the biggest threat in many years for their champions and I believe the whole of America from the President on down is hoping that you will be able to knock them off their perch" He then went on to explain that around the clock secret service agents will be guarding both of them. Later on in the day they will meet the head of the secret service team allocated to keep you both safe.
Both boys and Jonathon were a little bit shook up when they left the head coaches office, "He's right you know, we will have to be very careful." Davey said as they went back to training. At the end of the two week camp they had three weeks at home before heading for Moscow. Then they would be back for about six weeks before heading to the American training camp in Madrid for the Olympic Games.
It was a real clandestine operation the night Johnny and Davey had together during the training camp. The boys decided that it would be easier if Davey joined Johnny in his and Jonathon's room because then in the morning they could get dressed and go for a run which is their normal routine before breakfast.
Needless to say it was a hot session after being celibate for so long but the gory details are best left to one's imagination except to say by the time the sky was beginning to lighten neither of the two lovers had been asleep. They set out for their run making it look as if Davey had collected Johnny and in case anyone was in earshot he made a big thing of wishing Jonathon a good morning.
Out on the track one or two athletes were already jogging as the two set off together. After a while Johnny stopped and began rolling on the ground laughing non-stop. Davey who was running slightly in front also stopped asking his partner what was wrong, "I just noticed when you got in front of me it looked as if you're running with my dick still up your ass." Johnny explained between laughs.
Grinning Davey fell on top of him playfully punching him, telling him to shut up. They rolled around on the grass for a while until they noticed several of the others looking at them so they stopped and began running again.
The rest of the camp went well with visas and passports sorted out for everyone and several lectures on how to behave in Russia and how they must never go out without a security escort and so on. Then it was all over with a big afternoon session when everyone wished everyone else the best of luck and so on. A big bullshit session as Jonathon called it and then it was on a flight home for three weeks in El Paso before heading to LA for their charter flight to Moscow.
During those three weeks when of course the training never let up it was also time for Luke and Pru's wedding. All the arrangements had been made and everything was ready for the big day. It was hard to tell who was the most nervous Luke, Jason or Francis, who still had a little scarring on his face but had more or less recovered from his brutal bashing.
Sally and Bethany were also nervous and hoped that there would be no protests or trouble on the day. Sally had a brand new outfit with a flowery summer dress and a tiny flower hat for her head while Bethany had gone all butch with a pin stripped suit and a bowler hat along with a gold tipped swagger cane.
Pru was dressed in a traditional white wedding gown complete with a silk train and lace veil which was her mothers. To say Pru's mom was nervous would be an understatement with her fluttering around and fussing around her daughter as she got ready. Pru's father also looked elegant in a brand new suit his wife insisted he get for the wedding so he could walk their only daughter down the aisle.
It was a beautiful day and no sign of any protesters at the church as Luke, Jason and Francis arrived. A large contingent from the hostel had just about filled the church with Garrett and Edwin acting as ushers showing people to their seats. Little did Jason and Francis know that Luke had a couple of surprises arranged for them as well.
Soon it was time for the bride to arrive and with her mom still fussing she walked down the aisle on her father's arm with two of her old school friends as Bridesmaids. Bethany was her matron of honor which looked a bit odd considering the outfit she wore. The service was a traditional church one and as it progressed nothing unusual happened until it came for the blessing of the rings.
Jason produced the two rings but then Luke produced two other rings from his pocket which surprised Jason and Francis who wondered what on earth was going on. Without batting an eyelid the young priest blessed all four rings and then handed two to Luke and the other two to Jason with a wink of his eye.
It was then that the two young guys realized what was happening. They both began to tear up as the priest went through the process of getting the vows repeated at first Luke and Jason slipped the rings on their partner's fingers before the whole process was repeated with Pru and Francis repeating together their vows to their partners.
There were a few gasps and surprised mutterings from some of the congregation, especially Pru's mom and some of her friends. A lot of the boys had tears in their eyes when the whole event turned out to be what amounted to a double wedding.
As the happy couples left the church the big surprise that Chief Falster had prepared took Luke by surprise. A guard of honor was formed outside consisting mainly of senior officers who worked with Luke and Paul Alverez, the other assistant to the chief of police. Even Paul and the chief were present in the guard, all looking resplendent in their dress uniforms.
All in all a memorable day which Luke, Pru, Jason and Francis would never forget. It was then time for photos to be taken with family members and so on. Both Jason and Francis's parents were there and they looked on proudly, not worried in the least by the fact that their sons were gay, but happy they were in a stable relationship.
Once all the pictures had been taken a motorcade complete with police escort headed back to the hostel for the reception. It was being held in the grand ballroom provided free of charge by the hostel owners and the boys themselves acted as waiters and bar staff all dressed in black shirts and pants with matching bow ties.
The room itself was decorated with hundreds of balloons and garlands of flowers and looked beautiful. While there was a DJ on hand to provide music a couple of other surprises were also on hand for later in the evening. Once the main course had been served and eaten it was time for the speeches and Jason as best man stood up to speak first, "First of all thank you all for attending what was a memorable event today.
Francis and I would like especially to thank Luke and Pru for giving us the honor to be part of their day and more so for the big surprise they sprang on us by making it a double wedding. We had no idea that was going to happen and for me to join the police force and be part of Luke's team was the best thing that could have happened to me and I feel honored and privileged to be a member of what is fast becoming one of the finest police forces in Texas." This brought forth a lot of cheering and applause which when it had died down gave Jason the opportunity to continue.
"Again thanks to Pru, Luke and also to Paul and Chief Falster." He turned to face the chief before continuing, "Sir, thank you for having the faith in me to give me an opportunity to serve in such an important position within your police force, and to give a gay person the chance to prove that we homosexuals can do the job just as well if not better than other members of the force."
That statement brought the house down with almost everyone giving him a standing ovation which was understandable when you consider the number of gays at the reception, "Finally I would like to propose a toast to two wonderful people Luke and Pru." With that everyone raised their glasses and toasted the couple.
It was decided by Pru and Luke that the speeches would be few and the only other one to speak was Luke himself, "On behalf of my wife and I." This brought some applause and cheers before Luke continued, "I would like to thank you all for coming and also thank my boss for the guard of honor which was a big surprise. I would also like to thank Jason for those kind words. Also I would like to include Francis in my thanks for helping us get through the day and also to wish them a happy and long life together." A lot more applause and cheers followed that statement
"Also thanks to everyone who helped with the day. There are so many of you that I won't name you all for fear of missing someone, but you all know who you are and again thank you. There has been a lot of speculation regarding our honeymoon. I can now reveal that we will not be going on our honeymoon for some weeks to come because we are heading to Madrid in Spain for the Olympic Games so that we can cheer on our champion gymnast Davey." He pointed Davey out to everyone who stood up and acknowledged the cheers and applause, "I have another surprise to announce." And some bright spark at the back yelled out, "Pru's pregnant."
After the laughter died down and Pru stopped blushing, Luke continued, "No not yet, but the surprise I do have is for Jason and Francis. Pru and mine thank you gift is that you will be joining us on our trip to Spain to cheer Davey on." There was silence for a while as the news sank in and then both Jason and Francis with tears in their eyes rushed over to embrace the pair of them unable to believe that they would be going to the Olympics in Madrid.
Once the hubbub had died down Luke then proposed a toast to the bridesmaids and also to Jason and Francis. It was then time for the dancing to begin with Pru and Luke taking to the floor before inviting Jason and Francis to join them. Then the DJ invited the parents to go on the dance floor with Sally and Bethany and then Pru's parents joining the bridal couple. It certainly looked odd to the straight people and especially Pru's mom who was having trouble coping.
Soon just about everyone was on the dance floor with more guys dancing with guys than anyone else. After about thirty minutes of dancing the DJ invited Pru and Luke along with Jason and Francis to cut the two wedding cakes. He then said they had another special surprise for them, "Luke has asked Davey to put on a demonstration and show you all why he should win medals in Moscow and Madrid."
The gym where Davey worked out was next door to the ballroom and a partition was opened with everyone gathered around while Davey went through his routines for the games. This display brought forth lots of cheering and applause with the chant of, `Ten, ten, ten.' While this was going on another event was being made ready at the other end of the ballroom where a band was being set up.
Once Davey was finished the DJ invited everyone back in announcing that Platinum record recording star Josh and his younger brother Brandon would bring some great country music to the proceedings. They entertained for over an hour with Josh towards the end of the set saying, "On behalf of the Governor of Texas, my dad, we would like to offer our congratulations to the happy couple and my father apologizes that he is unable to join you today because of pressure of work but is thinking of you at this time and hopes you have a wonderful day."
They then went into their final song followed by a couple of encores before they handed back control to the DJ so that everyone could dance the rest of the night away. Pru finally got the opportunity to sit down with her mother for a few minutes before they left, "I must say Luke has some strange friends are you sure he is not like um, well you know, them?"
Laughing Pru replied, "I can assure you mother he is defiantly not like them." Her mom blushed but Pru thought it was hilarious until she began to realize that her mother lived in an entirely different world to her and Luke and this more modern gay lifestyle was something very new to her. Giving her mom a kiss and cuddle before saying goodnight and thanking her and dad for everything.
As soon as her parents had gone Luke whispered that it might be a good idea for them to sneak off and leave the young ones to continue dancing, "I think I'd like to take you home to our bed and make made passionate love to my wonderful new wife." He said kissing her passionately before grabbing her hand and heading quietly towards the door.
Garrett and Edwin were dancing cheek to cheek, their arms entwined around each other's necks as was Davey, Johnny and several others. In fact very few adults were left with Chief Falster and his wife leaving almost the same time as Luke and Pru. The only ones dancing were Sally and Bethany and they too were getting amorous and ready to continue their own little dance in the privacy of their own room.
Jason and Francis also decided it was time to leave and continue their love making in their own bedroom and that was more or less how the day came to a close.
It was just over a week later that the trial of the thugs who attacked Francis started. Security surrounding the courthouse was unprecedented with not only EP police in abundance but also members of the FBI helping out also. The biggest problem was the protesters. There were two different groups banner waving and chanting. One was in support of the GLBT movement urging the government and the courts to stamp out all this anti-gay violence. While another group protested against the gay movement shouting the best way was to stamp out homosexuality all together. Attached to each group were radical fringe organizations such as the neo Nazi's whose members were standing trial today and a variety of different church groups.
The biggest problem the police had was keeping these two groups apart. It was proving to be a very difficult task with more and more officers being rushed to the scene with Chief Falster overseeing the whole operation. Luke and Jason were safely ensconced in police headquarters out of harm's way while Francis was being guarded by a dozen or more officers in a small room within the court house until he would be called to give evidence.
A twenty four hour watch was being kept on Jason's and Francis' apartment while they remained overnight in a city hotel under police guard. The same applied to the several witnesses who were being threatened on a daily basis if they gave evidence against the four men.
The DA had his work cut out for him in keeping all these witnesses from pulling the plug. In fact a couple had already withdrawn their statements fearing for their own and their family's lives.
Meanwhile Chief Falster's resources were stretched to the limit and his overtime budget dead in the water with all days off and leave cancelled until after the trial. The publicity surrounding the trial had also created a media frenzy with all the major TV news channels lined up, nose to tail outside the courthouse.
The courtroom was packed and Judge Garcia had been asked by the Governor if he would preside over this trial and he was nervous expecting trouble along the way. Already tight security had been put into place to keep him and his family safe after threats continued to come in on a regular basis.
The jury too once picked would be kept under lock and key until after the trial for fear of their safety. This would certainly be one of the biggest trials this part of Texas has ever seen. In one way this was good because the world media and other visitors had boosted the hotel and restaurant trade bringing in millions of dollars into the city.
Francis sitting alone in his secure room got a message from Judge Garcia suggesting that he go home because jury selection is going to take at least one if not two days. The four accused had top lawyers flown in from New York to handle their case so the DA knew he would have his work cut out to secure a conviction. He had already approached their legal team with a view to securing a plea bargain but they laughed in his face.
The court bailiff called for them to rise as Judge Garcia entered the courtroom. As soon as he sat down he addressed everyone in the room, "My name is Judge Garcia and I warn each and every one of you that I will not tolerate any nonsense in my courtroom. Any outburst from the public gallery and also from legal council will result in a contempt charge. I have already made sure that several cells down below are free for any trouble makers in my court, so you have all been warned.
Are we ready to begin choosing the jury?" All those involved said yes or nodded and the first one hundred potential jurors were called in. As he expected, the process was a long drawn out one and by the end of the day three hundred people had gone before the court and only seven had been selected.
The following morning Judge Garcia was informed that one of those jurors picked yesterday had called in sick and a doctors certificate was produced to back up his illness. This meant only six jurors had been selected. The courthouse staff was being run ragged trying to organize enough people and it wasn't until the end of day two that twelve had been selected with two reserves.
Judge Garcia told them that they would be sworn in first thing in the morning and then informed them that for their own safety they would be locked away in a secure hotel for the duration of the trial, "I'm sorry that you are going to be separated from your loved ones for what could be a while but it is essential that we make sure you are safe and security right now is being put in place to protect your families." He then adjourned the court until ten am the next morning.
Jason and Francis spent the night together cuddled up in bed with a patrol car parked outside the apartment block and a police officer sitting outside their door. The next morning they were up early and Jason cooked breakfast making sure there was enough for the poor officer who sat outside and they invited him in to join them in the meal.
While they were eating the phone rang and it was the DA's office informing Francis that he wouldn't be needed today. Jason rang Luke asking if he could take the day off and spend it at home with his lover. Luke immediately agreed warning them to stay safe.
Judge Garcia had the jury sworn in and then spoke at length on the task in front of them before the DA himself opened up with the prosecution argument which took up most of the morning. Judge Garcia called a break for lunch. After, the defense took up the argument for the four guys accused of the brutal crimes committed against Francis. Because all four were represented by different lawyers this dragged on all afternoon until the judge called a halt saying the defense argument would continue in the morning.
The jury was already bored with several of them trying very hard not to close their eyes and have a snooze as the lawyers droned on and on. After all four lawyers for the defense had put forward their case it was once again time of Judge Garcia to call it a day. Due to the fact that the whole process was taking a long time the crowds had dwindled with no way near as many protesters for either side of the argument outside the courthouse, plus there were spare seats inside as well.
The following day the first of the witnesses was due to be called and again Francis wasn't needed. It was just before the court was about to start, almost seconds before Judge Garcia was due to walk in that a bomb threat was received. Several practice runs had taken place before the trial started in the event of this occurring. So the building was very quickly evacuated with the jury being taken back to their hotel in an armored vehicle on loan from Fort Bliss while Judge Garcia was also moved to a safe place.
The last to be moved out and under protest from their lawyers were the four accused and then the building was ready for the bomb squad to move in. In the ladies restroom next to the court room an explosive device was discovered and very quickly removed by the squad. The question was how it was planted there because a sweep of the building is carried out every morning before any one is allowed in.
Chief Falster was furious, mainly with his people who were supposed to check and handle these things. As it was court was cancelled for the day. Not only with that trial but all cases in every courtroom until the matter could be investigated. This was going to cause a backlog of cases to be heard.
The big surprise came at the end of day four when the defense lawyers approached the DA with a plea bargain. They said that the four accused would change their plea to guilty in exchange for a sentence of fifteen years. This took the DA by surprise and he said that they would consider the offer and give the states answer in the morning.
Several of his team thought that this was too lenient suggesting no less than twenty five years. But as the DA pointed out, this was costing the city millions of dollars a day in providing security to witnesses and jury alike. If they didn't accept the plea the trial could and indeed would drag on for days.
That evening he spoke to Chief Falster and Judge Garcia who both agreed that he should take the easy way out and accept the plea. The only ones not happy with what was to them a light sentence was Luke, Jason and Francis but in the end they had no option but to accept the plea. The DA went to bed that night still not fully decided on what to do. The next morning when he met with the defense in Judge Garcia's room at the court house he announced his counter offer was twenty years. Take it or leave it and all four surprised him by agreeing.
When court resumed Judge Garcia thanked the jury for their time, effort and inconvenience, "You can now safely return home to your loved ones and I order that you be exempt from jury duty for the next five years." This put a smile on the jurors faces as they left the courtroom.
Judge Garcia then turned to address the four accused, "I believe that a plea bargain has been struck with the district attorney is that right?" All four lawyers for the defense said yes and then the DA explained that they would serve twenty years in a correctional facility. Garcia then turned to the four men,, "In my mind you have gotten off light for the horrendous crime you committed and you are all lucky not to be serving a much longer period for murder. While I believe you should be incarcerated for a much longer period of time I accept the plea, if only to save the city millions of dollars on what was an expensive trial. I therefore sentence you to twenty years in the state penitentiary with no possibility of parole but I'm also adding a further five years' probation with an ankle device being put into place and forbid you to go within twenty feet of the accused or his partner. This means that when you are released if you find yourself living next door to the victim then you will have to move and quick."
With a bang of his gavel the court was adjourned and it was all over. Well almost as a final protest the anti-gay come neo –Nazi group detonated a bomb in a garbage can outside the courthouse. Luckily no one was hurt in the blast but a message was sent to the people of El Paso that it wasn't over yet.
All too soon it was time for the trip to Moscow and both Davey and Johnny were a bit nervous. For the past week their CIA guard had been briefing them continually on what to do and not to do, "The word is that the Russki's are planning something but we don't know what it is. You are the biggest threat ever to their supremacy in the field of gymnastics and they will stop at nothing to prevent you from either competing or competing at your best."
This was certainly unnerving the young boys while Jonathon was a totally nervous wreck. Just before they left it was Johnny's fifteenth birthday and Davey's would be while he was in Madrid for the Olympics. For a while now Davey had been talking to his brother about expanding the Karate school and the birthday surprise for Johnny was a big one.
The two families had gathered at the hostel for the party in Johnny's honor with his father flying in from Austin for the occasion. After the formalities and the blowing out of the candles Johnny began opening his presents. Once that had been done he noticed there had been no gift from his lover.
Davey then stood up calling for quiet and once he had everyone's attention he spoke, "Happy birthday Johnny, I love you dearly and what do you buy someone who got everything when he got me." He paused while a lot of mocking comments and laughter was made, "My older brother and I have been talking for some time about expanding my Karate school and opening Franchises throughout America. My gift to you Johnny is my school and all the profits from the Franchise."
Johnny stared in amazement at his lover as the news which in the end would make him a millionaire. Finally he stood up and with tears in his eyes embraced his lover, kissing him long and deep, Thank you darling, but remember whatever we have we share."
"No baby this is all yours. The company will run the whole business for you but you will be chairman of the board and have the final say in everything. The company is yours."
Still in a state of shock but revering enough to whisper in his partner's ear, "How soon can we get away so I can make love to you Davey?"
"Patience lover, everything comes to those who wait."
In fact the party broke up not long after because the boys still had a tough training schedule and the Moscow trip was only three days away. True to his word Davey made sure that once they were alone in their room Johnny wasn't disappointed. In fact he had a birthday he would never forget.
They had to fly three days later to New York to catch their flight to Moscow. Before boarding their aircraft a farewell reception was held with President G.H.W. Bush addressing them and wishing them all the best. The President then walked among the athletes shaking hands and talking to most of them.
When he came to Davey and Johnny he shook their hands before saying to Davey, "I have been watching your career and despite having a tough beginning to your life you have shown that anyone can climb out and with sheer determination and guts become someone the Nation is proud of. I know you will do your best for the United States of America, but win or lose you can hold your head up high." He shook their hands again before moving on to meet and greet other members of the US Team.
It was then time to board their aircraft for the long flight over the North Pole to Moscow. A secret service agent sat next to them all the way and was talking to others via some sort of communication device throughout the flight. Not that it bothered the two boys who promptly after dinner was served and eaten, fell asleep.
They were awakened when breakfast was served and the agent told them they had about another hour to go before landing. They would have to stay in their seats until everyone else had left and then wait for instructions from him before leaving the plane, "The Russians are up to something but we're not sure what it is but they are determined to stop you from competing."
This news worried the boys but left it up to those who knew best and they did as they were told. It was cold and raining outside the aircraft as they landed in Moscow. They were surprised to see a large number of police surrounding the aircraft when it came to a stop at the terminal.
Everyone else left the aircraft except for Davey, Johnny and a half dozen secret service agents. One of them who appeared to be in charge spent a lot of time talking on his two way radio and didn't look at all happy. Finally he came up and spoke to the boys, "We have a situation right now boys and we have to try and get you off the plane without you being seen until we can sort things out. Just do as we say and follow instructions to the letter and you will be safe."
"What's the situation you speak about, what's wrong and why can't we land like the rest of the team?" Davey asked getting anxious and worried with all this talk.
The agent took his time answering, obviously summing up whether he should tell the boys or not, "Well it appears the Russian Police have a warrant for your arrest." ...
To Be continued
Writers corner:
Sorry I know another cliffhanger and a bit of a doozie one too.
Well two major things occurred in this chapter which I struggled with. Having writers block is a curse which dogs' authors from time to time but I think I have got over it now.
First at the training camp Davey and Johnny were finally able to have at least one night together and I bet they made the most of it. I know I would but then at their age I was horny twenty four seven (still am) LOL
The wedding between Pru and Luke went off without a hitch but the big surprise was the exchanging of vows between Jason and Francis and also the announcement that they would be joining Luke and Pru on their honeymoon to Madrid for the Olympic Games.
Then we had the trial of the four thugs who almost killed Francis and again this wasn't without some drama with a bomb threat and then a real bomb when the trial ended. It was obvious that their defense lawyers could see they were in a no win situation with the evidence and eye witness testimonies stacked up against them. A plea bargain was the only way out.
Then I almost forget about the setting up of the franchise chain of Davey's Karate school with Davey handing the whole operation over to Johnny as a birthday present.
Finally the time came for the trip to Moscow for the world gymnastics championships and the Russians according to CIA intelligence were determined to either stop Davey competing or put him off his game. Remember the Cold War was still happening back in 1992 although it was slowly coming to an end, plus Communist countries were ruling the gymnastic arena.
What grounds do you think have the Russian police got to have Davey and Johnny arrested and will the secret service get around it and get the pair of them off the aircraft?
What do you guys think? I'd love to hear from you regarding this and of course let me know what you think of this and my other stories.

Editors corners:
Well guys Trevor has sure packed a lot into this chapter.
I was thrilled to see what happened with Luke, Pru, Jason and Francis. It was so awesome that Luke and Pru shared the most important day in their lives with Jason and Francis. How special was that?
I was glad to see that the four thugs got 20 years in prison and five years probation at the end with no early release. By the time they get out I do not see any of them after spending 20 years in the pen willing to try anything that could put them back in the slammer.
I agree with Johnny, that whatever one of them owns, so does the other. So while Johnny may be the actual legal owner the Karate studios, Davey as his equal partner will also own it.
Now for that cliff hanger... Trevor you are cruel to leave us up in the air like this. Being they have never been in Russia before I cannot but wonder what grounds the Russki's have to arrest them. I will not tell you what I think they would arrest them for or what I would do because if that is what Trevor is planning I do not want to put him in a position where he feels he needs to change his story. So, it's up to Trevor to get us a new chapter "quickly"
To all of Trevor's fans, have an awesome day.
