I backed up,hopefully before I was seen. Andros Teramedies was sitting in the bleachers. It was a mandatory practice so it was reasonable for him to assume I would be here.
Coach was walking by at that point and saw the look on my face.
"Damn Dennis you look like you've seen a ghost or something."
I pushed the coach back towards his office and thankfully he didn't resist. I closed the door.
"Coach, you know about the whole gambling thing. Well there's a guy in the bleachers that I have good reason to believe is behind it all, and he seems to have a particular interest in me."
"I'll get him thrown off campus."
"I doubt that you can. He is alumni and apparently friends with Dean Evans. From what I hear he also has a legitimate interest in gymnastics. Coach, I'm not going to even try and throw the triple today. I don't want him knowing I have that in my bag of tricks."
"I understand Dennis. So what do you want me to do about this guy? I can close the practices so that nobody can watch us."
"No don't do that. Let things go along as normal. Don't say or do anything out of the ordinary. He thinks we're on to him and no telling what he might do."
"Then we play it like the guy isn't even there?"
"Yeah I'm thinking so."
"Ok. We'd better get ourselves out there. You first and I'll be along in a minute."
I went out and waited with the rest of the guys. I purposely didn't look to the bleachers and Teramedies didn't make any attempt to make it known he was there.
I decided to do my routines as technically well as I could but I wasn't going to put any enthusiasm into them. I was sure the guys would notice and call me on it later.
I ran through my floor routine and then went and did my rings and then my highbar. As this wasn't a full run through type practice I didn't bother with the vault, horse or parrallel bars.
I went over an checked with coach as he released me for the day. I was almost to the locker room door.
"Mr Sawyer."
I turned to face Andros.
"Good afternoon Mr Teramedies."
"Technically you looked very good out there,but I didn't see much....spirit to your performance."
"I've not been sleeping well the last couple of days."
"Nothing serious I hope?"
"No sir I'm just a little concerned about a personal matter."
"Ahhh I see. Well I do hope it resolves itself soon. Technical profiecentcy is not always enough for a winning performance."
"I certainly hope it resolves itself soon. I well understand what you are saying sir. I'll get it back."
"Well then I suppose I had better let you get on with your day. Be safe Mr Sawyer."
Which struck me as a little odd coming from him.
I went in and changed into my swim suit and hit the pool for a bit and then the whirlpool.
By now some of the guys from the team were in the pool.
"Hey you ok Dennis? You didn't look like you had a lot of zip out there today, and you didn't even try your triple of the highbar."
"Yeah I'll be fine. Just didn't sleep well last night."
After a while I got out and showered and changed and was headed out of the Rec Center when somebody bumped into me.
"Horse. Go to the student union."
And the guy was gone.
Karl was just showing up at the Rec Center.
"I was just contacted and they want me to go to the Student Union."
"Well we were headed there anyway."
"Yeah just try to act normal when we get there. I'm sure I'll be contacted again."
"Any idea what the hell is going on?"
"Maybe. Teramedies contacted me at practice."
"I'm liking this less and less Den."
"You think I'm not?"
We made our way into the Union and stopped to look at the bulletin board,just to give somebody a chance to contact me. When nobody was forthcoming we headed in and got ourselves something to eat.
When we were finished I headed into the bathroom.
"Horse."
I turned to see Stimson standing there.
"What was the deal with Teramedies today Mr Sawyer?"
"A scheduled practice so he knew he would find me there. I was told that he has a legitimate interest in gymnastics and the squad. I have to assume he wanted a look see at how well we were doing. He did tell me to be safe."
"And that's all?"
"Yeah."
"Ok just keep on doing for the time being."
I headed back out to Karl and we proceeded to have our after dinner walk and goodnight kiss.
When I got back to the room the radio was on again. I got the scanner and cleared the room.
Pete did ask how my day went and I told him everything and he was a bit surprised that Andros had the gaul to show up at practice.
"They say he has a legitimate interest in the sport so I guess I should have expected it at some point."
"Yeah maybe, but I still don't like it."
"The FBI got their report so let them take care of it."
I settled down for the night and did a bit of studying and a little surfing after I checked my email and news feed.
11pm and the usual texts were exchanged and soon enough I was asleep. The phone went off and I as up and out for the jogging and Aiden and Gordon were out behind us and connected to our phones.
"Horse Iguana."
The beginning of another day. The routine went as usual and we were all soon off to our classes. It being Wednesday I took the hour between Ethics and Accounting and went and got some lunch.
After Accounting I headed back to the dorm and dropped off my books and checked the snail mail to see if the package had arrived. It hadn't. So it was back to the room for about an hour before I made my way over to the Rec Center.
I changed up and when the coach showed up I hit the rings and my floor routine again. Just because I didn't hit them yesterday I went and did the horse,vault and parrallel bars today before I went to the pool and then the whirlpool.
I had kept my eyes open to see if there might be any new watchers around that could be reporting to Teramedies, but didn't spot anybody.
I was soon enough on my way back to the dorm to meet Karl for supper. I did the sweep of the room and the light stayed green. Karl showed up about 20 minutes later.
"Downstairs tonight?"
"Yeah I'm thinking so,it's a little late to be heading out."
Karl and I headed downstairs and we were joined by Gordon and Aiden a bit later.
"So anything interesting happen today Den?"
"Not a thing.....so far."
"This is a good thing."
"Yeah I suppose, but it's kinda like waiting for the other shoe to drop you know?"
"You gotta stop thinking like that Den or you'll drive yourself round the bend."
"Don't you think I'd like to Karl? Things just keep turning up and I can't just ignore them."
"Fewer would turn up if you weren't looking for them lover."
"Yeah I suppose."
We were soon enough finished with our supper and Karl and I took our nightly walk.
"How much longer do you think this is going to be a problem Den?"
"Wish to hell I knew. Probably not longer than the all states if that long. If there is a longer game involved I'm hoping to hell I'm not a piece of it."
"Amen to that."
We finished our walk and had our kiss and I headed back to my room. Pete still wasn't in so I did the bug sweep and found nothing. The check of my email and newsfeed didn't turn up anything of interest either. So I hit the books and shortly before 11 Pete showed up. I gave him the daily report and soon after that Karl and I exchanged our texts, and soon after tht I was asleep.
5:45 Thursday and I was up and out with Aiden and Gordon trailing us again.
"Iguana Jack Rabbit"
This was really starting to get tedious and I couldn't help but wonder what they might come up with for some of the letters.
Laps were finished and the morning routine carried out and I was off to Macro Economics one again. That completed it was an hour and a half until Historical Events. I headed over to the dorm ro see if the snail mail had been delivered and sorted yet and it hadn't been. It was into the cafeteria for a quick bite and then on over to Historical Events. That was eventally over and I once again headed over to check the snailmail and I had a package notification.
I grabbed the package and headed for my room. I was anxious to open the package and get things set up. Not so anxious though that I didn't sweep the room first. It was a green light.
The taser I unpackaged and pulled it. The pepper spray went into a hip pocket,the optical bug I installed into a lamp and aimed it at the door. I connected the bluetooth from the bug to my phone. It would download any photos as soon as I came into range. The camera system and the hard drive for the car I would have to have professionally installed.
I had decided before that I was going to get a stero upgrade to cover the installation of the camera system. I decided to see how sensitive the bug scanner was and it did detect the camera but not until I got within about a foot of it. Provided nobody used the same lamp I was pretty confident I could still spot any bugs.
Not long after Pete showed up and I told him about the camera. I figured he ought to know.
"Wonderful now I can't even use the room with Suz when you're not around."
"It's aimed strictly at the door Pete and nowhere else. Here look here's you coming through the door just now."
I showed him that the camera was on a tight shot of the door.
"Yeah well, I guess we'll just have to be careful.
Karl showed up a bit later and we headed down to the Cafeteria for supper.
We soon enough had out supper and our walk along with our good night kiss. I returned to my room and checked the phone and it was only Pete and Karl and I.
I went over and turned on my computer to check the email and newsfeed.
The email had nothing but spam. The newsfeed however was a different matter.
"Prescott student found severely beaten" was the headline.
