I opened it up.
Mr Sawyer,I'd like to conduct an in depth interview
on the whole situation confronting the school.
Please respond soonest.
Bob Watson
"Karl, do you think Dean Evans can get upset with me for granting an "in depth interview" to the school paper?"
"If he told you to drop the whole idea of the forum love,I'm betting he would sure as hell be upset with you for doing the interview. And to be fair, which I'm sure Dean Evans would insist on, he'd have to give the other guys equal time."
"We might at least know who we're dealing with then Karl."
"A possibility, but I'm betting it would be the guys that have already stood up for the suit that would be responding, so no gain there."
"Guess I'd better respond then."
Mr Watson, I must regretfully decline the interview as the adminstration has requested I keep as low a profile as possible.
Dennis Sawyer
"I'm sure that response isn't going to make Bob Watson very happy."
"Probably not, but it will keep the Dean off your back lover."
"True enough. Let's crash."
So Monday came to an uneventful close.
Tuesday dawned cool and bright and we were one again off to our laps. When we got to campus the guys were waiting for us with no fresh bruises in sight. Laps were run and Karl and I were on our way back to the car when there were three guys standing in our way.
"We aren't really going to do this dance are we?"
"Damn right we are."
The taser got the first guy in the gut and he was on the ground. The next one to come at me I got under his punch and brought one up from the ground that landed squarely on his jaw.
Karl had taken a good swing at the guy who was standing in front of him. The guy came back for more and Karl obliged him connecting to the guys stomach and then another to the guys jaw.
My first guy was starting to get himself together from being tazed. The second one was back for more and a roundhouse kick left him laying on the ground. Two down and the third one still dazed. It didn't matter much as the campus security force was there and slapping cuffs on the three guys.
"You two will have to come with us as well to give a statement."
"Not a problem officer. Should we follow you?"
"Yes,please."
We were soon enough over to the security office and giving our statements. We were just about done when I saw Dean Evans walk in.
"Well Mr Sawyer seems you just can't get away from it."
"Apparently not sir."
"You boys alright?"
"Yes sir."
"Then if you're done here get along to your classes."
Karl and I headed home and he showered and shaved really quick, but even at that he was going to miss his first class of the day.
It being Tuesday I had all of the time in the world and a bit after 11 I headed in for the practicum. We had the usual discussion and then I waited for my review.
"Still haven't seen fit to take any actions I see Mr Sawyer."
"No sir I'm quite happy with things as they stand."
"As well you should be. Have a good day Mr Sawyer."
I went and grabbed a quick sandwich and then headed over to the rec center. It would still be at least 2 hours before I expected the majority of the guys to show up for practice. I changed up and decided to do a light workout in the weight room.
When it was about time I headed over to the apparatus room. The team trickeled in over the next half hour or so and I let them know that the idea I had was a no go. A few of them seemed to breathe a little easier.
Dana did see my scuffed up knuckles.
"You get into it again today?"
"Yeah first thing this morning. I'm thinking the campus police are keeping an eye on me as they were there PDQ this morning."
"Yeah well you are proably the best known gay guy on campus. I can see where they'd want to keep an eye on you."
"Dana, honest injun, have you heard anything from the coach about cutting me from the team?"
"Why in the name of hell would he do that?"
"Just because I'm garnering so much negative attention. I can see where he might think it might rub off on the team."
"Well I haven't heard any such thing Dennis, so in the meantime get your ass in gear. We only have about three weeks until the next meet."
Today was a scheduled practice so the doors were closed and I did do my triples and landed them all well. We worked for a couple of hours and I finally went and hit the pool, still with escort I noticed. It was in to the whirlpool and changed and back to the car. I checked it over and called Karl and let him know I was on my way.
"Any thing else happen to you today lover?"
"Not a thing Karl, why did something happen to you?"
"Nope, just checking. Supper will be up in about 10."
I got the table set and we were soon seated and having our meal.
"I told the team that my idea for a forum got shot down and some of them seemed relieved."
"Yeah well they want to support you love, but I can see where they might well of been concerned about the ramifications."
"Yeah I suppose. Did you hear anything about what happened to those three guys who jumped us this morning?"
"I haven't but I'm betting they're on their way home at this point."
"Yeah, unless maybe they cooperated with the Dean."
"I'm betting even that won't save their asses this time lover."
"Maybe not Den, but if they did get sent home you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll have to keep an eye out for them showing up again."
"You mean like Larry?"
"Exactly."
"We're already doing everything I can think of Karl, short of quitting school, and that just ain't happening."
"Not after all of the work we've both put in."
We finished our dinner and settled into a bit of schoolwork and then an hour or so in front of the tube before we crashed.
Wednesday and the sun was up and so were we. Off to campus and laps were done without incident and Karl and I made it back to the apartment. Showerd, changed and fed, we were off to campus once again and our classes. Word filtered down that the three guys who had jumped us were on academic overwatch, which amounted to if the fucked up even a little bit they would be gone.
Classes didn't seem to drag as much today and I was soon in front of the student union enjoying a quick sandwich and drink.
While I was sitting there, Randy Porter stopped by.
"Hey Dennis. I hear you've been having a pretty hard time of it lately."
"Yeah things have been a little rough. You holding up ok?"
"I'm getting by. Listen Den, if it's any consolation for you I don't think there's anybody on the football team involved in any of this."
"I would hate to think anybody on any of the teams were involved Randy."
"I heard that. I just want you to know if there's anything I can do that you can call me."
"I appreciate it Randy, but I've been asked to keep as low a profile as I can, so it is unlikely that I'll be calling anybody for anything."
"I hear ya Den. Just wanted you to know you had support."
"Thanks Randy. I need to get to my last class."
"Ok Den later."
So it was off to Risk/Rewards and as soon as that was done I headed back to the apartment. I grabbed the snailmail and there wasn't anything in there that required attention. So it was seeing what we had defrosted for supper. I got that pretty much in hand and waited for Karl to get home. I heard the security gate open, but didn't hear Karls car; which didn't seem right at all.
I looked out the window and saw Mrs Castanza walking up the drive, which was a bit of a relief. Was I getting even more paranoid? Probably, but who could blame me, really? Karl was home a few minutes after that.
We had our supper and hit the books for a bit. I was done before Karl tonight so I grabbed a novel I had been reading for a while now. When Karl was done he came and snuggled beside me on the couch.
"The school year is closing in on half shot lover. Have we got it in us to finish?"
"I'm sure we do Karl. Things have got to get better at some point."
"They could also get a hell of a lot worse."
"Always that possibility, but I'm thinking the administration is getting a bit fed up at this point. I don't know what the hell they can do, but it feels like they are getting ready to do something."
"And whatever it is, isn't going to be popular."
"I doubt it like hell."
"Think whatever they do will calm things down?"
"I hope so but I wouldn't count on it."
"You ready to call it a night Lover?"
"Yeah I think I am."
I marked my place and we headed into bed. Tonight all we did was hold each other.
Thursday morning finally caught up to us and were up and out as usual. We were up and out and over to campus and things were quiet. We got our laps in and were back to the apartment and Karl was soon enough off to his classes. I did a quick review of my imaginary portfolio before class even though I didn't have a review today.
Everything was fine with it and I decided to check my email. There were two there that grabbed my attention.
The first one was from Mr Jacobs.
Price case has been dismissed. I've informed college legal counsel. As of this time all matters cleared.
Jacobs
The second had a header that indicated that it had been sent from one of the college offices.
Please report to room 210 in the Administration building
at 2:30 on Thursday the 3rd.
There was no signature of any kind and I wondered just what the hell was going on.
