We were all five taken to the campus stationhouse. The officer in charge just looked at me and Karl.
"Well you guys started off the year with a bang and seems you're ending up that way as well."
"Simple case of self defense officer."
"It always is with you. Maybe you shouldn't be so defensive. Seperate them all and get their stories."
Karl was taken into a seperate room from me. I told the officer exactly what had happened and he took notes. The guy left the room and I could see him conferring with another officer. He came back into the room.
"Though it differs a bit in the details you guys are both telling the same story. The problem is the other three guys are also telling the same story but theirs is vastly different from yours."
"Then let me put this to you officer. Mr Holtz and I have had roughly the same routine all year long. Why did they chose this particular night to do something. This is just a theory, but the timing may be part of the reason. The gymnastics team is on the verge of having one of the best seasons ever and have a good shot at taking the all states this year. I don't want to sound to full of myself, but ask anybody who follows the team. We have a shitload better chance of taking the all states if I'm still on the team than if I got kicked off for something."
I looked up at that point and saw Stimson out at the main desk.
"There is the man you should speak with."
The officer looked out the window and then left to talk to Stimson. They soon came back to the room together.
"Well Mr Sawyer still making friends and influencing people I see."
"Yeah something like. I guess I'm beginning to think like one of your guys, but the timing of this whole thing sucks. I'm betting that "somebody",meaning Andros or his lackeys, put them up to this. If there is anyway to lean on them, I'll bet they fold like a lawn chair."
I looked out the window again and saw Dean Evans standing at the desk now, and on a Sunday night. Yeah it was going to hit the fan now. I saw him go to a computer terminal to retrieve some information. He then headed for the room I was in.
"Well Dennis seems you've put your foot in it again."
"More like it was shoved into my path sir."
"Indeed I have little doubt. I just looked up those other threes GPA. They are all less than 2.0. In other words they are fluncking out and they should well know it. Given what I've been made privy too, I believe something is afoot here. Mr Stimson, I have it within my authority to permit you to question those three."
"Why thank you Dean Evans. I'm sure this will be very enlightening. Care to watch Mr Sawyer?"
"No I can do with the after game analysis."
I sat there while Dean Evans and Mr Stimson and the campus officer went to one of the other rooms. It only took about 20 minutes before Mr Stimson was back.
"They're being cut a little slack on the harrassment charges which they got for fingering one of the Tereamedies goons. He paid them $1000 each to jump you guys tonight and then feed the campus cops a line of bullshit. It's not enough to go after Andros, but it is all starting to mount up."
"So you think I should expect things to escalate from here?"
"Always possible Dennis. I want a visible bodyguard with you from now on and you're being fitted for a vest as well.
"That's a little overkill isn't it?"
"Not when you add it that incident yesterday. We got real lucky and recovered the needle that scraped you yesterday. If it had landed and you got the full dose of the poison, well you'd still be unconscious if you were lucky. You might feel a little muscle weakness for the next few days. Once again if that needle had landed square even after you regained consciuosness you would have been weak for sometime. You sure as hell wouldn't have recoverd in time for the next meet and maybe not even for the all states."
"Point taken. Shit so it's back to looking over my shoulder all of the time. I thought I was finally done with this bullshit."
"Seems not. Is there a more secure location that you can stay at other than the dorm?"
"I could try and get an apartment off campus for the next two months,but that would open me up to the public streets every morning and night. I suppose I could move into the frat and that would at least keep me on campus. It would still leave others in danger but the number would be reduced."
"And it would be fewer people for us to watch. Is there a room there where we could station people?"
"Probably, but do you know the makeup of that house and would your agents be comfortable there?"
"You mean that they are all gay or bi? Yeah we know and my men wouldn't have a problem with that."
"I won't do it without they all know what they're getting in for."
"That is your and the Deans call I think. Should we put it to him?"
"I suppose that we should."
Mr Stimson went out and informed the Dean of what the plan was. and we were soon enough on our way over there.
Kurt was in for the weekend by this time and we explained it all to him. Kurt in turn called all of the guys together and explained it to them. There was a bit of muttering but eventually they all agree to it.
"Well then Mr Sawyer we'll see that you get moved in over here tomorrow. Get back to your dorm and get some sleep young man."
Karl walked me back to the dorm along with at least one bodyguard who ended up stationing himself in the dayroom for the night.
The next morning there was a different agent waiting for me when I left to do my jog. Today for the first time in weeks, Aiden and Gordon jogged along with Karl an I, with the bodyguard bringing up the rear. Well at least I didn't have to put up with the password runner anymore. When I got back to the room though I did make sure to strap on the stun gun and the pepper spray along wiith putting on the boots once again.
I told Aiden and Gordon as well as Pete, that I was moving into the frat for the foreseeable future and that it was my intention to be there for jogging each morning.
Monday the 30th of March and I was off to classes. Only another 2 months and we would be free for the summer. Well as free as having a full time job would let me be.
All three classes went along without a hitch today and I headed back toward the dorm when my bodyguard told me that all of my stuff had been moved to the frat. So it was over to the frat where Karl was waiting for me. I got my stuff in my room and found a box on the bed.
I opened it to find a black bullet proof vest. I took off my shirt and strapped the thing on. It was damned uncomfortable, but if Stimson thought it was needed who was I to argue. I slipped my shirt back on and you could hardly tell I was wearing the vest.
I went back down to pick up Karl so we could go to get something to eat. We settled for the cafeteria tonight and then had our walk, with my shadow. We didn't let that stop us from having our good night kiss.
My shadow and I were back into the frat and I advised him about the Friday night rule. He looked at me and just shook his head. Yeah I didn't think it was likely that anybody would try and hit on him but why take chances?
Messages were exchanged and I crashed for the night. Tuesday went much as Monday had except that I went to the Rec Center to work out. I got a few looks when I took off the bulletproof vest and stuffed it in my locker.
I moved out to the apparatus room and it wasn't a closed practice today. My shadow was right with me and his head was on a swivel. There wasn't any crowd for cover here so I wasn't expecting anything to happen.
Coach,Gary and Dwayne were all there watching today and they all tried to keep an eye on me. Because they were being cautious or watching where my leg had been injured I didn't know. A couple of the guys did make a point to ask about it today.
I went and had a fair workout today but didn't bother with the pool or the whirlpool as I wanted to keep the wound from getting that kind of wet.
I made it back to the Frat and Karl showed up a bit later and we walked to Tonys for some sandwiches tonight. My shadow seemed to be pleased about that as he loaded up as well. I didn't relax my vigilance about sweeping the room everyday and I set the camera to wide angle now that I didn't have to worry about invading Petes privacy, which I was sure he was enjoying the hell out of about now.
Life continued on as what passed as normal for the rest of the week and Friday night Karl and I decided to head out to Rons for supper.
We got there no problem and went inside and looked for a place to sit. I spotted Paul all by himself in a corner booth.
"Shit. Should we go sit with him Karl?"
"At the very least it's going to be damn awkward Den."
"Probably, but he sure as hell could use somebody to talk to I'm betting."
I walked over to where Paul was.
"Need a friend?"
"I could use a whole new batch at this point. They all bailed. Every one of them."
"Give them a chance Paul. They might just need to get used to the idea."
"I've been hanging with these same guys for years. You'd think they'd cut me some slack."
"Hey it took a while for some of my friends to get their heads wrapped around it. Ask Karl he was there."
"Yeah it wasn't a real pretty sight at the beginning. It took a couple of weeks but people began to realize that it didn't really make us different people. There'll be a few who don't get it but if they were good friends to begin with you should see some of them come back to you as long as you don't try forceing your sexualtity on them."
"I hope to hell you guys are right. Den you know you've got somebody following you right?"
"Yeah I know. Too long a story. Now let's get us some supper Karl."
Gladys was soon enough over and got us squared away and we finished our supper and Karl and I headed back to the frat. It being Friday night, Karl decided to stay. I hadn't realized but Karl was still wearing his bulletproof vest as well.
"I hope we don't have to put up with these things for too much longer."
"Me three love. You going to work out tomorrow?"
"Only if the coach opens the room. 4 weeks to the next meet so he will probably be there. If not I can work the weight room for a change."
I killed most of the lights in the room and Karl and I stripped down and climbed into bed. I got the last light and then snuggled up to my lover for the evening.
