As it turned out,there hadn't been enough people left on campus to even worry about anything happening.
"So a quiet weekend here as well. Let's hope it goes that way for the rest of the year."
"We sure as hell could live with that Denny. Just so you know I haven't seen that the dusk to dawn restriction has been lifted yet."
"We'll keep it in mind Paul. Guess that means you guys will be headed over after supper?"
"Yeah just to be on the safe side."
Eventually we were done eating and had the table cleared and things cleaned up as much as Mrs Castanza permitted us. Karl and I went back upstairs and got ourselves ready for classes tomorrow morning and then crashed out.
Monday morning as we were back to the routine once again. Gordon and Aiden were there to compare notes with us from over the weekend as Cam and Paul joined us and we made our way around the quad.
The usual day ensued and I was back to the apartment before Karl as I didn't go to the rec center. I intended to spend a fair amount of time there tomorrow. I got things going for our supper.
Karl came in at the usual time.
"So anything unusual today lover?"
"Nope, was one of the quietest days on campus that I can ever remember."
"Hope that's not the calm before the storm."
"You and me both. How soon until supper?"
"Just a few."
So it was supper and then a couple of hours with the books. I did go over my imaginary portfolio as tomorrow was a review day. Once again I didn't make any changes.
We crashed out about the usual 11pm and then the alarm was going off before I knew it. So it was up and out for our jogging with the guys. It had apparently been a quiet night on campus, but I hardly expected anything else with the curfew still in place.
Home again showered and fed and Karl was off while I still had a couple of hours to kill. I did so by going through my email which had been accumulating since last Wenedsday. Most of it was spam as you might expect. The one that did catch my attention was from the lawyers.
They had actively stopped looking for my brother, but had still been on the lookout for any other relatives that might still be around. Searching for my father had been a real long shot I had thought, but here it was that there was a guy claiming to be just that.
I was on the phone to Mr Jacobs.
"Good Morning Mr Sawyer. No mystery as to why you are calling today."
"I wouldn't think so Mr Jacobs. What more can you tell me?"
"So far it looks like this may be for real, but we have only scratched the surface. If I remember correctly you told me that it was reported that your birth mother said that he was 'out of the picture', and not that he was dead."
"Yes that is what was reported. This can all be cleaned up with a DNA test I'm assuming?"
"It certainly could."
"What claims if any does he have against me?"
"None what so ever."
"Is he asking for anything?"
"Not at this point,which isn't to say that he might in the future."
"So just how did he turn up?"
"Seems some inquiries that we made found their way back to him. He apparently has some kind of identity theft software looking out for him."
"Doesn't sound like he is hurting for money."
"No he has a very successful business. I don't want to say anything further until we have heard more from the investigators."
"I believe I understand. I have to get to class Mr Jacobs. Keep me informed please."
"Of course."
After the experience with my brother, I wasn't going to get excited about this. I headed into the practicum and the 15 minute lecture.
"Still hanging in there I see Mr Sawyer."
"Yes sir. I was once told the only way to win in the market is to buy something solid, roll over the dividends and forget it for 20 or 30 years."
"That strategy has been known to work. Well you are still in good shape Mr Sawyer. See you next week."
So then it was over to the student union for a quick lunch and then over to the rec center. The room was open early today so I went in and changed and got out and stretched. The only one there so far was the asst coach.
"Well Mr Sawyer seems it is just the two of us so far."
"It appears that way coach."
"Well I will spot you until some others show up then."
I got right to it and went to the pommel horse first and did my full routine.
"You seem spot on here."
I then went to the vault. It was an open practice so it was just a double thrown today. The coach thankfully understood. It was on to the rings and when I finished there some of the other guys had shown up. The coach went to watching everybody and of all people Josh ended up spotting me. I landed a bit off center on my ring dismount and Josh was right there to keep me from going over. He held onto me for a few seconds longer than he really needed to. I thought that a bit unusual given his and Gregs reaction before.
I gave Josh a look and he knew what I was asking with it.
"Oh hell no Den. I just wanted to make sure you had your feet under you."
I moved on over to the parrallel bars and worked my routine there and then to the high bar and finally to my floor routine. I then spotted Josh around his rotation and luckily didn't have to catch him at all.
I decided to do another run through of my rings and the floor routine and then I hit the swimming pool and the the whirlpool. Josh, Greg, and Dana were all there when I got there.
"So everbody have a quiet weekend?"
"Karl and I did. Spent a lot of time horseing around with his little brother."
"Yeah I had a quiet one too Dana. So did Josh from what he tells me."
"Well that's good. Let's just hope to hell it stays quiet."
"We can always hope Dana. Well I'm outta here. Karls probably home already and waiting on me."
So I was up and out,showered and back to the car. Another attentive walk around and I was headed home, but not before I gave Karl a call and let him know I was coming.
"So lover how was your workout?"
"Pretty good and the rest of the guys are looking good as well. Anything unusual in your day?"
"Nope how about you?"
"Well..........."
"Don't do that to me Den."
"The lawyers think they might have their sights on my birth father."
"WHAT!!!!!!!"
"Yeah that's about what I said. They're still checking him out and he hasn't asked for anything except why they are looking at him."
"You're not going to be going off the deep end here are you Den?"
"Nope. Going to let the lawyers do their job and not get my hopes up at all. I mean hell he must have had some idea that there was some kind of offspring out there. That he wasn't looking tells me something about the guy."
"Yeah that he is likely an asshole."
"Always a possibility lover."
"So you think this is going to go anywhere Den?"
"No frigging idea."
"He's going to want something."
"Probably, but from what little the lawyers have been able to tell me the guy is well enough off that he has some pretty sophisticated identity theft sofeware in play."
"There are other things he could want Den."
"Probably but he's not getting them whatever they might be."
"It could be as simple as you wanting to get to know your brother lover."
"If that were the case he would have come looking before this I'd think."
"If he was sure you exisited lover. You had no idea about your brother a year ago remember?"
"I suppose it is possible, but he must have known he had my mother pregnant. Why else would he duck out? Regardless, not going to worry about it until the lawyers have something or the guy demands a DNA test."
"Bullshit Den. You're going to have this running around the back of your head until it is resolved and you know it."
"Yeah maybe, but I'm going to try not to let it get to me. Now let's eat."
Which is what we did. After everything was cleaned up it was on to school work until we crashed.
Humpday was clear so it was up and out once again and without incident. Matter of fact I hadn't heard of any incidents since getting back. This kept up they might well lift the curfew.
Karl and I were quickly home and things taken care of and then off to classes. Investment Vehicles was gotten through without a problem and then it was over to the tax class with Mr Mcembers. The class itself wasn't a problem today though on my way out he did motion to me to come over.
"Just wanted to let you know that the grand reopening is going to be Friday night. You and Karl and your whole troop of guys are invited guests."
"I'll spread the word, but we've got an all day practice on Saturday. There's no way I'm missing that."
"I was really hoping to have you there, but I understand. Now get."
I was over to the student union for my lunch. Gordon and Aiden stopped by for a second and I told them about Paladins reopening.
"If the curfew is lifted we can probably make it. Hell even if it isn't as long as we are off campus before dark Friday and back by dark Sunday we're covered."
"Yeah push comes to shove you guys can crash on the futon even if I can't go. It might be a little crowded for two but I'm betting you guys won't mind."
Cam and Paul got the same message as did Devon and Carlton.
It was finally over to Risk /Rewards and then that class was done for the day. I made my way back to my car and gave it a good once over. I didn't find anything so it was home to start something for supper.
