Lil Bros Chapter 10
For the next thirty minutes Michael and Anderson ran the court, Michael scoring over and over as Anderson tried to take him out. Michael could see that Anderson was getting mad and was close to losing his temper. When Michael stood at the three point line and let fly with eight seconds left. There was nothing for Anderson to do but watch as the ball sailed up and into the basket just as the horn sounded ending their match. "You leave the team and your coach resigns. Basketball is meant to be fun, you made it a war, and you just lost it."
"Your damn good kid, but this isn't over between us."
"As far as I care, it is."
Going back to his bench Michael sat tired and sweaty, the team were jumping all around when the referees came over.
"Michael can we finish the game now, there is still ten minutes left."
"Yes sir; and I am sorry for the delay."
"Not a problem young man, what I just saw was a battle. We have tried for the last four years to have the coach removed, but tonight it has happened."
"I hope so; I don't want to go through this again next year."
Michael sat out the rest of the game. Cory had come around and was sitting on his lap snuggling close. "You okay little guy?" Michael asked.
"Uh huh, my nose hurts a bit."
"Hey at least is wasn't broken."
"Can I spent the weekend with you?"
"You think the home will let you?"
" Uh huh, I asked them before we came to watch you."
"Oh and what if I couldn't have you over?"
"Hehe hehe I knew you could, I talk with Scott."
"Oh I see you and he planned this did you?"
"Uh huh."
"Okay turkey, where is your pack?"
"With Scott and Richie."
With the game over, both Michael and Cory headed home, Johnson driving talking to Michael and congratulating him on his game and the fact that they had won, despite the hassles from the other team. Back at home Michael tucked Cory into bed and sat with Johnson. Michael learned that Heilman had been released on a mistake since the D. A's office had forgotten to lay murder charges, even though he admitted to killing Tommy in Naples, but he didn't admit to killing anyone in Texas, so he was release on bail."
"Why didn't they listen to the whole tape?"
"I don't know, but I can find out when I get home on Monday."
"They better have him back in jail before school is out for the summer."
"Because if not I am going to find him."
"Michael, I can't let you do that, I promise we'll get him back in jail."
"That gives you five weeks."
"We'll have him, you have to trust me."
"I am trying, but the system screwed me once."
"I am truly sorry about that."
The rest of the weekend went smoothly Scott joined Michael and Cory for breakfast on Saturday and on Sunday the three went for dinner at the seafood palace. Johnson had flown home Sunday morning with the promise to have Heilman back in jail as soon as he could.
Monday morning Michael, Scott, Peter and Richie all met at the front door to the school. The bell rang as the boys laughed and joked around in the hall like they always did when things were perfect. At noon they all met for lunch and again the jokes flew and the room rang with there laughter. The rest of the afternoon went fast and soon the four boys were splashing around in Michael's pool.
The boys were enjoying the water and since they were all just wearing there their briefs. They weren't worried about anyone else coming over since it was a school night, all too soon it was time for dinner and since Michael didn't want to cook he ordered pizza and bread sticks. After the call he told the others to shower and dress since dinner would be here in thirty minutes.
Five week went by and still Michael hadn't heard back from Johnson, in fact he hadn't heard anything on what's with Heilman. Michael was getting anxious. To settle things Michael invited Peter and the Parker bothers to travel with him to the Bahamas. There mother said that it would be okay so the second week of July Michael had his boat fueled and stocked with food. The morning they set out all the boys were sitting on the deck in just shorts each enjoying a cold Pepsi. Michael had hired a chap to handle the boat so that he and his friends could just enjoy there vacation.
For two weeks the boys swam, played and just became total tourists. By the time they got back to the boat they were all tanned and looking like a native.
They were a day out of home when Michael who was on the deck saw another boat heading right for them. Calling the others up he pointed it out, the helmsman was trying to contact it but not having any luck. "Sir I think you should all get your life jackets on and get the dingy ready."
They had just gotten the dingy in the water when Scott was thrown over board and the sound of tearing wood could be heard. With Peter and Richie in the dingy Michael looked around for Scott and not seeing him started to scream. The helmsman was sitting with the boys when he saw Scott floating fifty feet away. Rowing over Richie grabbed his brother and tried to pull him in the other boys helping. Once they had him on board, they laid back and relaxed Michael cradling Scott's head in his lap wiping away the blood that was oozing down the side of his face. The good thing is the helmsman had managed to get off a mayday before the boat sank. So help should be there soon. The other boat had sank also, but so far they couldn't see anyone in the water or swimming, so they figured who ever had gone down with it.
Six hours later Peter heard what sounded like a helicopter coming towards them, so he took off his T-shirt and started to wave it in the air. Sure enough they soon all saw the U.S coast guard flying towards them. Scott was the first lifted then the others. Michael moving back to be with Scott as the pilot headed back to Miami. Once there they coast guard spoke with the helmsman and the boys, though they couldn't speak with Scott, they got the story and soon they had a cutter with divers heading out again. Michael had taken off to be with Scott as Richie called home and told their mother that the Archers and he was fine and that Scott had been hurt. He asked that he call Peter's parents and let them know. "Richie, how bad was your brother hurt?"
"I don't know mom, he's at the hospital now, I'm going over there also, but I thought I should call you first."
"Thank you. Is Michael okay?"
"Yeah, but he's mad. He is with Scott now."
"Okay, you and the Peter head over and we'll meet you all there."
"Okay, can you bring us some clothes, we lost everything."
"We'll do that, what about Michael?"
"He'll have to wear some of mine until he gets home."
"That will work."
Later at the hospital Richie, Peter found Michael sitting beside Scott's bed. "How is he?" Peter asked.
"The doctor said he will be okay." Richie whispered.
"Good, mom and Mrs. P are coming down, they should be here tonight sometime. Do you think this has something to do with Tommy's death?" Peter asked
"I don't think so, but who knows." Richie spoke. "Guess we should get some clothes then or else we'll get cold."
"Mom is bringing some down for us." Richie whispered.
"Great, then stay with Scott and I'll see if we can get some more blankets to wrap in."
Soon there were three blanket wrapped boys sitting beside Scott, Peter had fallen asleep leaning against Richie as Michael sat watching Scott and waiting for him to wake up. It was eight in the morning when Peter's and the Parker's mom showed up. Michael had fallen asleep with his head resting on Scott's bed. Peter and Richie were leaning against each other sound asleep. So Mrs. Archer woke the two up and quietly pulled them out of the room.
"Here boys go get dressed. Richie your mom will wake Michael up, and then we can all go for breakfast and talk about what happened."
"Okay and thanks mom." Peter said as he hugged his mother.
"Yeah thanks Mrs. A."
A week later everyone was at home Richie, Peter and Scott went to see a counselor about what had happened and learned that they were okay and that they would get past what had happened. The coast guard had found the wrecks and found no one on board the second boat, they had found the owners and they were talking with them. The one thing they did find was a remote control, now all they had to do was find out where it had come from.
Michael was sitting at home watching TV when Scott came in. grabbing two sodas he joined Michael on the couch when the phone rang, Grabbing it Michael hit the answer button.
"Yeah you got me, so name your price."
"Michael Caine please."
"Speaking, who is this?"
" Johnson from San Antonio, I called for two reasons; one was to see if you were okay, the other is to tell you that the D.A here wants to meet with you. Seems she has some questions for you."
"Fine tell her to come out here, I am tied up for a while."
"I'll tell her that, though I doubt she would fly to Naples there."
"Then it is her lose, and yes I am okay. Let me know what she says by Friday, since I will be gone all of next week."
"Okay. Talk to you then."
"Johnson, is Heilman back in jail?"
"Not yet."
"Looks like I was right. He is going to get off on everything."
" No he isn't. We can get him on two rapes, but we can't get him for any murders yet."
"Let me guess she wants me to talk to Heilman again."
"I don't know, but I will call you before or on Friday."
Scott was snuggled close to Michael as he spoke with Johnson so he heard most of what was said. Wrapping his arm around him he held tight. "Relax bro there is nothing anyone can do. They screwed up. Let's hope the cops here handle things better."
"They better, cause if he walks I will kill him."
Scott stayed the night both enjoying each others company. Scott had woken early and had made Breakfast for them both when Richie showed up. "Hey bro what you doing?"
"Going to give Michael a surprised."
"Oh what's that?"
"Breakfast in bed, he needs it, he didn't sleep to well last night."
"Oh you kept him up did you?"
"No the cop from Texas called last night and upset him again."
"Fuck I wish this was over for him; every time they call it hurts him."
"I know, did you talk to mom about helping us with Cory getting adopted?"
"Yeah, she thinks it would be the best thing for Michael, the guys on the team are going to help and so is David."
"You mean Mr. Calruso is coming back up?"
"Yeah, seems he likes you and Michael, well the rest of us also."
"Does Michael know?"
"No, it's kinda a birthday surprise for Michael."
"Sweet, you think we could give Cory to Michael as a present also?"
"That's what mom is trying to do."
"Oh man I can't wait to see Michael's face."
"Well you gotta keep it a secret,"
"I won't say anything. But what about clothes and a bed for Cory?"
"Trust me everything is almost ready. This weekend you have to get Michael away for the day."
"That might be easy, he maybe going to Texas."
"You have to go with him. I think mom would let you."
"I hope so. I mean I well lets not go there."
"I know bro I feel the same with Peter."
"Come on lets get this up to Michael before he gets outta bed."
"Sure. You carry the tray, I'll bring the drinks."
"Thanks, "
After everyone had eaten, Michael showered and as he was dressing he smiled. "Richie, Scott can you two and Peter come for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know, I can ask." Richie said."
"Great, then make it for six. And plan on staying the night."
"What you got planned?"
"Nothing."
