I made my way to the office and went in.
"Mr Sawyer I presume?"
"Yes Mrs Humbolt."
I had read her name plate as I entered the office.
"Have a seat sir. Dean Evans will be with you shortly."
I sat down and waited. Soon the inner office door would open and Mr Grant would come out of the office followed by who I assumed was Dean Evans.
"That's him Dean Evans. That's one of the two guys who attacked me!"
I simply sat there. I knew better than to let this clod get a rise out of me.
"That we shall see Mr Grant. You may return to your dorm for the time being. Mr Sawyer if you would please."
I got up and followed him into is office.
"Please have a seat Mr Sawyer. Seems you've had a rather busy weekend."
"Yes sir."
Never volunteer any information unless asked. It could to easily confuse the issues.
"The incident Friday night is the bigger of my concerns at the moment,though subsequent matters aren't to be lightly dismissed either. Please tell me about Friday night."
I laid out the night in great detail right up to the flashing blue lights.
"Yes that pretty well matches some other reports we have from that evening. I just needed to hear your version of it. I imagine your friends are quaking in their boots about know. Please do not talk to them about either incident until after all is concluded. Now what about the next night? Actually start with the incident inside the frat house that I see referenced here by the officers."
I went through the whole thing from Gordons"I said no." straight through to the point that Pete hauled me off of Kyle and on through the threats of lawsuit.
"Very detailed. Thank you Mr Sawyer. I'd like you to wait in my outer office while I speak to the others. Remember not a word if you please."
"Yes sir."
I went back out into the office and Pete was sitting there looking miserable.
"Mr Pershing if you please."
Pete went into the office and I sat there hoping I was still enrolled.
Aiden and Gordon walked into the office a few minutes later.
"Gentlemen,please have a seat and no talking if you please."
I had the distinct feeling that Mrs Humbolt was an old hand at these proceedings.
I did my best to help them relax without saying anything. No telling how successful I was.
Pete eventually came out of the office and Aiden was called in. No words were spoken but Pete looked pretty miserable.
Eventually it was Gordons turn.
Again the inner office door would open.
"Would you gentlemen join us please."
The three of us went into the office with Dean Evans and Gordon.
"Gentlemen,you can all breathe easy. Though they differ in the telling all of your accounts tally rather exactly. The incident Friday night outside was obviously not your fault and those young men will be dealt with accordingly. Inside the frat house has been dealt with internally I have been told. Now Saturday night I cannot fault you Mr Sawyer,Mr Pershing for defending yourselves.
There will be no record made on your permanent student files and you may all return to your studies."
"Dean Evans,if I may?"
"Go ahead Mr Sawyer."
"Will we need to be worrying about Mr Grant for the rest of the school year?"
"That particular matter is still being considered Mr Sawyer,though I think the way the wind is blowing that you shall not. Now the four of you get out of here and enjoy your freshman year."
"Thank you sir."
We filed out of the office and none of us said a thing until we were well clear of the Deans office.
"There is a God."
"I don't know about that Pete,but we sure as hell must have a guardian angel looking over us."
As we stepped out of the biulding I was suddenly engulfed in a set of arms.
"What the hell Den? The Deans office already?"
"Stopped by and talked to Andy did you?"
"When you weren't in your room damn skippy."
"Well everything is cool. We've all four been exonerated and it seems pretty sure that Kyle will be on his way home shortly. Though I'm not going to take his threat of a lawsuit lightly. I'm going to fire off a very detailed letter to Mr Benson as soon as we get something to eat."
"Want to head to Ron's again?"
"Good as it was not two nights in a row. Is there anyplace else that's decent or should we just hit a burger stand?"
"Well there's Tonys sub shop."
"Found it already. That was Saturday nights supper."
"Well hell then I guess it's a burger stand, no wait a second. There's suppose to be a decent Asian buffet place out at the mall."
"Well it's different at least. Let's hit the Benz and go for a ride."
We were off campus in just a few minutes and to the mall just a few minutes after that. The place was easy to find and we were able to get right in.
Our drink orders were taken and then we hit the buffet. The selection was pretty decent. Evreything from sweet and sour pork to batter fried chicken and a bunch of different vegetable combinations. There was even a good selection of sushi,which I avoided. Getting me to eat cooked fish was a challenge let alone raw. I was a bit surprised to find a pizza bar at the end of the line,but then again getting kids to try something different could be a real challenge I supposed.
As far as I was concenred everything was well prepared,but more importantly,at least to me, it was hot. When the bill came Aiden struck like lightening.
"Not this time Dennis."
"Hey did you see me move for it? I told you there would be other chances. Anybody need to do any shopping while we're out here?"
"I was thinking Den,that maybe we could use a small fridge in the room. You know just to keep some drinks and maybe a few munchies in?"
"I'll think about that Pete. Not like we could get it into the car tonight."
"True enough."
"Anybody else?"
There were no takers so it was back to campus. Karl and I let the others get inside.
"Karl,I need to ask you about something that happened today."
"Shit you ran into Mcembers didn't you?"
"Yeah very first thing this morning."
"I was hoping you'd draw somebodyelse."
"So you know about him?"
"That you and he once had a thing? Yeah you told me about it a while before the accident. Matter of fact when we got engaged. We both told each other a lot of things then. So is he holding it over you to force you to be with him again?"
"Oh hell no. He's married himself now. No he just wanted to offer his condolences and to let me know there was somebody that I could talk to if I needed it."
"Yeah well I'd still watch myself around him if I were you."
"I'll keep that in mind. Now I don't know about you but I've got classwork to get taken cae of before it starts piling up around me."
"Damn already? Guess they aren't wasting anytime this year. What time are you out tomorrow?"
"Going to be an early day. I only have two classes. Macro economics and something called Historical effects on Business. Don't know what that's all about but it does sound interesting. I'll be done by 1 I think. Why? What do you have in mind?"
"Just thinking about some gym time love. You said it yourself. Jogging alone just ain't gonna cut it."
"True enough,especially if we keep eating like we have been. I don't think I appreciated Mrs Ohanlon enough as far as keeping me fit. I'll catch you in the morning for our jog lover."
"Damn skippy you will."
We found ourselves a bit of shadow and kissed before Karl headed across the quad to his dorm.
I went inside and fired up my computer and sent a detailed account of the weekend to Mr Benson with the advisory that something may or may not come of it but I wanted it recorded soemwhere else besides just the campus files,which would probably prove damn hard to get anyway.
I then went to work on the accounting assignment. Now that my head was clear it made a hell of a lot more sense and I was through it in short order. At that point I found myself a bit thirsty and went downstairs to the vending machines as the cafeteria was closed for the night. I could well see Pete's idea of a small fridge was going to prove rather practical in the long run as they were wanting $1.25 for a 12 ounce can of beverage.
It was back upstairs to get my reading done for my Wenesday classes.
"Looks like we'll be heading out to get that fridge in short order Pete. a buck and a quarter for a can is outrageous."
"Kinda thought you'd think that. Maybe tomorrow."
"Kinda have a gym date tomorrow afternoon with Karl,but we'll see."
I settled down to do my reading which didn't really take to long as most of it was a review of what I had done at home.
11 oclock rolled around and my phone buzzed with a text message.
"Love you to the ends of the earth. Sleep well." Which was followed by Karls usual emojis.
"Love you more." and my usual emojis was sent back to him.
"Must be 11."
"You know it Pete. You going to be up much longer?"
"I don't think so,just a couple of more pages to go."
I striped down and crawled into bed and shut off my lights.
"Well here's the first day taken care of."
