Chapter 5
Dr. John said we could stay as long as we wanted and that Adam could go home with us. Adam could recuperate at home. This made us all very happy. We decided that there was no reason to stay longer and decided to leave. I asked Rev. Paul if he could do a memorial service for Joe and his mother in about four days in his church. He checked his calendar and said that he had it open and would be honored to perform the service. Adam said that he should be healed enough and would like to sing at the services, if I wanted him. Gene said she would like to play the piano. Sarah and the kids wanted to sing also. Tim wanted to play the drums as well. I did not realized what a talented musical family I had inherited. Gene suggested that I stop by and get my violin and we could have a gold old music jam at her place. Adam said nothing was wrong with his voice but his mouth was sore so he might hit a few sour notes. Debbie picked up on this and said "I don't know what difference that will make! You sound like an old bullfrog anyway." I thought that we would die from laughing so hard. This was certainly what we needed to release some of the built up tension. I put my arms around her and gave her a great big bear hug. Of course, Josh needed one also. Those two are good therapists and sensed what I needed to get me through these trying times. Adam decided to ride with me. He had a little trouble getting into the car but made it ok. The kids piled into the back seat. We arrived at the motorhome, I got the violin, and headed for Gene's place. Gene had stacks of sheet music. Most of the songs had at least 3 copies. This made it easier for all of us to see a copy. We all had a great time. Much to my surprise the kids had marvelous voices and had lots of training. Gene, Sarah and Tim sounded very commendable themselves. Johhny Cash and the Carter family had nothing over us. We sang and played for about an hour. My cell rang. Dan was on the other end. He had received a call from Rev. Roberts attorney. Roberts wanted to meet with Adam and I. Dan was not enthused but agreed to meet the first thing in the morning, if Adam and I were free. We agreed and Dan said he would call him back and confirm a time and would call me back. It was getting late, and I told Gene that I would call Gina and see about reservations. The kids overheard us and started jumping up and down. Adam was not up to solid foods yet but agreed to go. Gina made the best minestrone soup. Adam would fare well anyway. I was able to get reservations for 6:00. This left a little time for us to clean up and get there on time. Gina met us at the door and told Adam and I that we looked a mess. We got our hugs and kisses anyway. Love that woman. We had a special treat. Gina's son was visiting from out of town. Talk about an Italian Stallion. Adam and I both drooled. He could have either or both of us anytime he wanted. He is what I call a super stud. We found out that he owned an Italian restaurant in Bend, right there in my neighborhood. We had a standing invitation for dinner at his place. After dinner, we decided to call it an evening and go to the motor home early. The kids wanted to go camping again. Adam made it clear that the bed was not big enough for them, me and all of his bruises. They agreed to sleep in the bags on the floor. Trying to keep a straight face Gene reminded Adam and I that we had to wear pjs. Adam and I were surprised that Debbie and Josh went right to sleep. We decided to turn in also. We ignored Gene's reminder and went to bed nude. Adam and I were just cuddling. I started getting hard. Adam felt this and said "It appears that someone has a problem. You know that my behind is not sore and has not been abused but I bet it will be before morning." "No way Adam. I am not taking a chance on hurting you. You have enough problems already." "Why don't you let me worry about that. This is my body and I can do with it what I want. I will let you know if you need to stop." "Ok! If you say so!" Adam's hands had starting wandering. "Hey, I like what I am feeling. How about giving me a good feel. I haven't had any love for a long time and I really need some now." I reached for the lube in the bedside stand and a condom. "Are you clean? I am, so we probably won't need that ugly thing holding up the condom. Adam and I had finally had enough excitement for one night. We slipped into some sweat bottoms because come morning, we would need them. We knew that two kids would come running in and we had better be ready. I pulled Adam to me for one last hug. "Thanks buddy. You really know how to treat me right" "I know one thing for sure. I am sore all over. You just wait. I will get even." Adam exclaimed. "Adam, I will hold you to that threat. I can hardly wait.. I think I could get use to having you in bed with me. Right now I think we had better get some sleep. Morning will be here before you know it and we have a busy schedule." It seemed like Adam and I had just fallen to sleep, when Debbie and Josh was knocking on our door. "We need to use the bathroom, now. Can we come in?" asked Josh. "Come on in. It is time for us to get up anyway." Adam said. "Hey, you have clothes on this time. I guess Grandma told you but good" laughed Debbie. We had breakfast and took the kids home and headed to the jail to meet with the two young men, friends of Jeff and Tony . Adam and I both like them very much and offered them the same deal that we gave Jeff and Tony. They immediately accepted. We were due in Judge Logan's court and so we left and proceeded to go the courthouse. We arrive a little early. Adam and I went directly to Judge Logan's office and told him the latest development. He was very pleased. Dan came in and Judge Logan told him to have everyone plead guilty to lesser charges of disorderly conduct. He said he was going to offer the same deal to the other four men involved.. Court was called into session. Judge Logan said he would like to see all concerned and their lawyers in the conference room. The 8 men and their attorneys all followed Judge into the room. Jeff, Tony and their two buddies all knew what was going on. The other four were still in the dark. Judge Logan explained what was happening. They immediately concurred with the Judges decision even to a public apology. The court is back in session. Dan stood and asked to address the Court. Judge Logan granted permission. "Your honor, I would like to have all charges against all 8 men dropped and new charges of disorderly conduct levied against them." "The state agrees your honor." "So ordered!" and Judge Logan rapped his gavel. "How do each of you plead?" Each person stood and said "Guilty, your honor." Each of the 4 stood and issued an apology. Judge Logan gave the four men 3 weeks of community service working at the homeless shelter. The other four were released to Louie and given 6 months probation. We left the courtroom. I told Jeff and friends that I would meet them at 2.00 at Adam's house and would discuss details then. I gave them the address and the four of them left. "Louie and Adam, I got a phone call from Rev. Roberts' attorney and agreed to meet with them at 11:30. You don't have to go but he requested that you guys be there. I have no idea what he wants. What do you think?" "I can guess what he wants. He probably wants all charges dropped. If that is the case, I say no way. I will go and hear what he has to say. What about you, Adam?" "I will go but he certainly won't get anything from me." said Adam. " I will call Roberts' attorney and tell him we will be there but that we want the other two men and attorneys present. Oh, by the way, I was given the keys to Lila's place. Would you like to have them now. Have you made arrangements with the crematorium to have Joe and Lila cremated? " "Yes, I can pick up Joe and Lila's ashes tomorrow. I would like to go over and look at her place and see what needs to be done. I think we can do that while we are waiting to meet with you know who." "No, I don't know. Do you mean Butt-Head?" chuckled Dan. "I thought you didn't know but that is exactly who I mean." smirked Louie. "Hey! You two! You had better be nice or Santa won't come see you this year." Hooted Adam. "That is ok. I already received my present from him." Louie responded. "Yea, I bet you won't get any more." "Do you guys know something that I don't know?" inquired Dan and he grinned from ear to ear. "You will never know for sure. All you have is your imagination. We'll never tell will we, Louie." "Enough said. We have places to go and people to see" commented Louie Adam and I went to Lila's house and went in. Every thing was very neat. I always remembered Lila and how organized she was . He house was always spotless. On her dresser was a photo album. I took one look and knew that this was a picture history of Joe's life. Joe was an only child, so I knew what to expect. This almost more than I could take. I took the album, sat on the davenport and held it to my chest. I just sat there in a trance. The doorbell rang and broke the tension building up in me. Adam went to answer it. When he opened the door, there stood two elderly women. They introduce themselves as friends of Lila's and the ones who witnessed the will. "Oh, you must be the young man that he attacked. You must believe that all members of his church does not fell the same way as he does. He has a very small following, which got even smaller last night after his attack on you. We had a church meeting this morning and voted to remove him as minister even if he comes away with no jail time. We hope they throw the book at him." "Ladies, I am very glad to meet you. We will be having a memorial service for Lila and her son, Joe on Thursday at the Methodist Church on 10th and Elm. You are most welcome to attend. We do not know any of her friends and would like to have you invite anyone you would like to attend." Both nodded their heads. "Thank you very much. We appreciate it!" "Do you have a mission or charity that the your ladies group supports?" implored Louie. "Yes, we do. We support abused women and children. We try to run a half way house but Rev. Roberts just recently lost our lease on a house that we were using. Now we have no where to send anyone." "Guess what! You do now. I was given authority by the will that you witnessed to dispose of Lila's processions as I saw fit. I am giving you this house and everything in it. All you have to is remove all the personal items and it is yours." "Oh, thank you. May the good Lord bless you and this young man!" "Louie, look at this. I found this envelop inside the album as I was looking through it. It has a lot of money in it." Adam exclaimed. We counted the money and discovered there was two hundred thousand dollars in the envelope. "Ladies, if you will give me a receipt. The money belongs to the Ladies Church Group." "We can't believe our good fortune. We have being praying that something like this would happen. God does answer prayers. You two are the answer to all our prayers. How can we ever thank you?" "Just thank God for his gift. Ladies we will have to come back at a later time and go through Lila's things and see if there is anything beside the album that we want. I have the keys and will turn them and the deed to the house over to you at Lila's memorial service. See you there." Adam spoke up and said, "I have a friend who has just graduated from Northwest Christian College and is a ordained minister. He is married and has two small children and is looking for a church. He would be a welcomed addition to any church. He is the complete opposite of Roberts." "We are having a church meeting tonight and we will certainly bring this topic up. You two are certainly answers to all of our prayers." Said one of the ladies. Adam gave them a card with his name and phone number on it. They also wanted my number, so I gave it to them also. We left and headed for the jail. "Louie, that was the best thing I have ever witnessed. Those sweet ladies were really lucky to find you. I think you are the most generous man I have ever met. You are always putting the other person first." `Adam, I feel that God has really blessed me and I want to share his gift with those less fortunate than my self. I like myself a whole lot when I do. I think that the sweet ladies will have the deed to at least two houses and maybe three if they don't have a parsonage. I saw several houses in the neighborhood with for sales signs." Adam reached over and put his hand on my leg. "I love you when you do things like this. You are really unique. I hope some of you rubs off onto me." "Adam, I see good qualities in you and your family already. I have nothing on you and besides I need some good tax write-offs.." We arrived at the jail, met Dan and went in. Roberts and his two companions and three attorneys were escorted into a large room. Roberts and the two men were placed on one side of a partition and the rest of us were placed on the other side. Roberts attorney started of "We would like to ask you to withdraw your complaint." "Adam, what did I tell you. All I can say that this is totally un-acceptable. Just look at our faces and you can see why. You want us to set you free so you can go out do this terrible thing again. You have to do better that this. Unless you have more to offer, this meeting is over. You can rot in jail as far as I am concerned.." Louie sputtered. "That goes for me also. I am going to help in every way that I can to throw the key away." stormed Adam. Dan stood and told the guards they could take them away. Roberts started shouting, "Fags! The whole lot of you are fags. Nothing but a bunch of queers and that goes for you two, pointing to this companions. All of you are going to burn in hell!!!!!!" The attorneys for the two other men asked if we would meet with them after Roberts was removed. They said they had information that we would be interested in. We agreed. One of the attorneys said, "Our clients would plead guilty to lesser charges if we could strike a deal." "Before we could come to an agreement, we would have to hear what they have to offer and we would have to get a judge to agree with it" said Dan. "What is said in here has to be off the record until a deal is cut. Agreed?" Dan shook his head yes. "We will let the guys tell you in their own words. However, I will stop them if their rights are in jeopardy and they are incriminating themselves." "My friend and I were blackmailed into helping with the attack on you two. We were just to hold you guys while Roberts worked you over and that is what we did. We never hit either of you." Adam agreed. He was conscious the whole time. "I said that we were blackmailed and that is true. Roberts caught me giving this guy a blow job. He threatened to tell our wives if we didn't do as he said. So now he had complete control over us. We were both forced to have sex with him on several occasions. I mean the whole nine yards. One day we were to meet him and arrived early. We found him ramming a sixteen year boy and another fourteen old was crying. Roberts had just finish doing him. We saw this and the boys are willing to testify that Roberts had been using the one boy for two years. The one which was crying had just been used for the first time. I don't know if there were others or not. If there are, I think they might come forward. I think several other men have been involved. He always manage to get several to help in his marches against gays and help with his hate crimes. So there you have it. Both of us are willing to testify, if need be." Dan said, "This is a very unusual development. I know that you want justice done and I agree with you. Something must be done and I will do everything I can to correct this huge mistake. I will talk with the DA and see what kind of deal we can make. I think I can get you off with just probation. I can't promise anything but I think we can cut a deal. Louie and Adam are you willing to withdraw your complaint? This may be too late, this may already be out of your hands." Adam and I agreed to withdraw our complaint. If need be, we would change our testimony and testify for the two defendants. We should be able to do something. Dan said, "I will call the DA and arrange a meeting. I know that we should be able to cut a deal. It is evident that these men are the real victims and have received a raw deal. I will start the investigation rolling and see if we can find more people who have victimized and have gotten a raw deal. I think Rev. Roberts is in very hot water. No wonder he wanted to deal!" "Louie and I know two women from the church, who may be able to help. They are well informed about what is happening and may be able to help. They can at least talk to the members." Adam said. "I think you had better hold of for a short time. We need to talk with the DA and then we can start our search." Dan countered. "We don't want to start a panic and maybe cloud the investigation." "I think I didn't state that very well did I. What I meant, was that I wanted to help in any possible! Maybe I am just a little over anxious. I just want Roberts to get what he has coming." Adam replied. "Don't we all!" said Louie.
