"And you will just have to wait like everyone else for the report to be issued. So I will be leaving in a day or two."
"You never did get to meet Karl. Why don't the three of us go out to dinner tonight?"
"Fine by me."
I went to the locker room and got out my phone.
"Hey lover you on your way?"
"I will be shortly. Have you started anything for supper yet?"
"No was just getting things ready."
"Don't. Doug is done with his investigation and will be leaving soon. I just asked him out to supper."
"Fine by me. Where to?"
"I'm thinking Riskins."
"Works for me. I'll be ready when you get here."
"Love you see you in a bit."
I went back out to the floor.
"We're all set to go. Karl and I will pick you up at the frat in about an hour. A good shirt and slacks will be called for."
"I can manage that no problem. I'm rather looking forward to this."
"We'll see you in a bit."
I went back into the locker room and took a quick rinse off and got dressed. Once back to the apartment I took a good shower and got dressed for the night.
"So lover, anything I should know about Doug before we pick him up?"
"Not that I can think of. He may be reluctant to talk about the accident that cost him his gymnastics career so avoid that for sure."
"Yeah I can see where he might be a bit touchy about that. Well best we get this show on the road."
We were out of the apartment and over to the frat in just a few minutes. Karl and I went inside to get Doug.
"Well I finally get to meet the man who captured Dennis' heart."
"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr Ambliss."
"Please call me Doug. Well then, just where are we headed tonight?"
"Riskins Steakhouse. I can practically promise a good meal."
"Then I suppose we should be on our way."
We all piled back into my car and headed out. Being middle of the week Riskins wasn't that busy. We were right into a table. Our waiter tonight was not someone I recognized.
"Good evening, I'm Walter and I'll be your server this evening. Would any of you care for a drink before dinner?"
"A vodka martini please."
"Nothing for us thank you."
"Really Dennis?"
"I never really developed the taste for it, and after what happened to my parents, I've just thought better of it."
"I suppose I can understand that. So how did you two get together?"
"Which time? I told you about the accident and that I had amnesia. The day after I woke up this guy comes running into my hospital room and throws his arms around me. When I woke up I didn't even know my own name so you can imagine what a surpise that was."
At that point Walter brought Dougs martini and we ordered our meals.
"The first time we were at camp togther. This was after being next door neighbors for most of our lives. Details you will not be getting."
"I wouldn't want them anyway Dennis. So you two have been together for a number of years then. How did you manage that through high school and such?"
"About how you would expect. We took a lot of grief for a while, but our real friends got over it eventually once they realized it didn't really make us different people from who they had known for years."
"And you've only been married a few months now?"
"First of August, so yeah."
Our salads were delivered about that time and we all fell to eating. Before we finished our salads our steaks were there and there was little conversation.
"Well gentlemen, anyone for dessert?"
"Not for us, but don't let that stop you Doug."
"No I can well do without the extra calories after a dinner like that."
"Very good sirs."
Walter walked away to get our bill, which I grabbed when it was presented.
We were soon enough outside.
"Well it's early yet gents. Is there any action in this town?"
"Depends on how you define action I suppose."
"I define action as men Dennis."
"Then there is only one place and not somewhere we usually go the middle of the week."
"And that is?"
"A club called Paladins. I suppose we could take in the early show and still make it to jogging in the morning."
We got into the car and I headed over to the club. Once again being middle of the week the place wasn't too crowded. We got right in and found ourselves a table. Karl and I both stayed with non alcholic beer while Doug stayed with his martinis.
Soon enough the show started with Mr McEmbers making his look but don't touch speech.
Doug was all eyes as the dancers started to do their routines.
"You guys ever try to pick up one of these dancers?"
"Nope, but I can tell that not all of them are gay."
"And you know this how?"
"Sorry, private information."
Some of the dancers made their way around the tables and Doug wasn't afraid to give them a good look. About half way through the show, Andy made an appearance and Dougs eyes took on a real sparkle.
"I hate to disappoint you Doug, but I know for a fact this guy is straight. He's only here to make ends meet."
"Such a shame. He really is quite attractive."
The show ended and Karl and I finished our beers and started to leave, but Doug stayed seated.
"Doug?"
"I think that I shall be staying a bit longer. I understand you guys have classes and what not tomorrow."
"Do you really think that's a good idea Doug?"
"I'm a big boy I can take care of myself Dennis."
"Have it your way then. I'm looking forward to your report."
Karl and I headed for the front door, but not before I stopped and spoke to Mr McEmbers.
"Please keep an eye on the guy that came in with us. He's kind of a VIP."
"I recognized Mr Ambliss when I walked by your table. Is he looking to hookup?"
"I can't give that a definite one way or the other, but I wouldn't put it past him. Please if he doesn't, see he gets back to campus safely, and if he does pass that word to whoever gets lucky."
"I'll keep an eye on him Dennis."
"Thanks. See you in class."
Karl and I then made our way our of the building. I gave the car a quick check over and we were on our way home. It was only a little after 11 by the time we crashed.
Hump day came bright and clear and we were out for the usual routine. Back to the apartment,showered and fed and we were off to classes for the day.
My Investemtn Vehicles class went as expected and then I made my then I made myway over to the tax class. This one tow went as expected right until the end.
Mr McEmbers signaled me to stop after class.
"Your friend headed out with one of the dancers last night after closing. I hope he got back to campus at some point."
"No idea. He was staying at the frat and I haven't seen anyone from there yet this morning. This guy he went with?"
"Other than being gay, he walks the straight and narrow as far as I know."
"Ok Thanks for the information."
After which I had time to kill so I was sitting outside of the student union eating a sandwich.
"Hey Dennis what the hell?"
It was Kurt from the frat.
"What up Kurt?"
"Funny I was going to ask you the same thing. Mr Ambliss never made it back to the house last night and everybody saw him go off with you and Karl."
"We left him at Paladins a little after 10 last night."
"Fucking wonderful."
"He insisted. We tried to talk him out of it."
"All we need is for him to go missing and then have to have this whole frigging investigation done all over again."
"I'm sure he's fine Kurt."
I couldn't very well tell him what I had just heard from Mr McEmbers. Dougs private life was just that private.
Kurts phone rang at that point.
"Hello?............Really?............. ok thanks. Seems he just showed up at the frat and with a big smile on his face. Did he by any chance give you the results of his investigation?"
"I asked and he told me that I had to wait for the report just like everybody else."
"Great. Did he give you any idea how long it would be for the report to get back to us?"
"Sorry he was pretty tight lipped about the whole thing."
"Ok, thanks anyway Den."
Kurt took off and by this time it was time for me to head over to risk rewards. After that I just headed home and got supper started for us. The rest of the say was pretty uneventful and we were soon in bed.
Thursday was again a beautiful day and we were up and out and our laps run and home again. Karl was off to classes but I hung around the apartement and did a review of my portfolio for class. It came time for me to head into the one class for the day. My review had taken place on Tuesday so after the usual 15 minute discussion, I headed over to the rec center for a general workout.
By the time I had finished in the weight room and changed into my bathing suit, Aiden and Gordon were there for a swim as well.
We had spoken this morning while jogging so there wasn't a lot ot catch up an and we just all did our laps before hitting the whirlpool.
We were soon enough showered up and seeing as Karl was still in class I didn't bother calling him. When we got outside there were a couple campus security guys out there.
"Mr Harris, would you please accompany us to the Dean of Men office?"
