Chapter 203-2
A Simple Plan
Part 3
I had never been to Office Knox’s
house or Stringum house here in Santaquin. In fact, I was a little surprised to
find that his house was about 3 houses down from Officer Kenly's place. Greg
and his brothers and sisters didn’t seem surprised by it, but then again why
should they been considering they had lived here all their lives, whereas I
hadn’t. I was nothing more than a visitor in many ways.
I watched Officer Knox get out of his police car with Eli and the girls as his
partner gave him his partner a solute said. “I’ll see you down at the station
once you get them settled so we can fill out a police report, so if that
a*****e does file charges we will have followed procedure. And the boys know
that he is at it again and leave a note for someone to call his caseworker in
the morning and give her heads up.”
Officer Knox said. “Thanks, Chris,” and I watched him pull out of the driveway
the moment the rest of my friends gathered their things.
I quickly said goodnight to Greg and his brothers and sisters. Officer Knox
separated us for two reasons. One Stringum house wasn’t big enough for all of
us and two they had school in the morning I didn’t, even though Greg,
Chad and I both had to
get up early for drivers Ed and Band practices and me so I could take my mother
to school and use the car later that day. Cindy being the only one with her own
car would be taking her brothers and sisters to school. With the exception of
Timothy and Samantha, they could walk from here due to the fact the school was
not more than two blocks away.
Greg gave me a silly grin and a fist bump reminding me I needed to be at the
school around noon and if I wanted to I could meet up with them in the
cafeteria and have lunch with them mentioned a game called blind man that we
were all going to enjoy. I said. “Sounds good,” he didn’t give me in more
information on the game. Then again that was Greg as I watched him go inside
Stringum’s home. And followed officer Knox to his home, which was not much to
look at from the outside other then seeing a large abandon field next to it,
being the last house on the block if you could call it a block because it just
ends going into the field.
We removed our shoes at the door, noticing shoe pile, his wife came out of the
kitchen in a nightgown and her two boys were sitting at the table each wearing
a bathrobe with a towel around their shoulders indicating they had just gotten
out of the shower noticing their semi-wet hair, finishing their homework for
tomorrow. It was only a little past 9 pm.
So I wasn’t all surprised to see anyone up.
Mrs. Brenda Knox was a small woman roughly the height as my mother reaching 5’6
seemed really small compared to the height of her husband Mr. Knox with dark
brown hair worn should length, green almond eyes, a pudgy nose that went well
with her small curved chin. She was breathtaking beautiful like a model in some
magazine…
Compared too her husband Officer Walter Knox, with his dark brown hair like his
two boys coming into the living room. That was graying on the sides, green eyes
and with noses that curved slightly down and flared or tapered down just above
his very thick and well-trimmed mustache. With lips that said come and taste me
with a slight curve just enough. That when he smiled it showed two dimples on
his chin. The way his uniform hung on him said he was ripped and had to be at
least 6 foot 5.
She said looking at us. “Oh your home early dear, I see we have company.”
He
said. “Yes, this Eric Rothwell, Linda Shepherds boy and these are his friends
Eli, Rhoda, and Jackie.” She nodded and came over and shook hands with me,
again once she shook hands with me I got that funny feeling regarding that she
was someone I could trust, it was the same feeling I got with her husband when
we first met, watching our rings glow.
Eli said. “Ok,” and I nodded and said “weird.”
She said passing it off as nothing important said. “If I remember right I was
told you four are married to each other?” We nodded and Officer Knox quickly
explained what my father had done. She said. “I see, then make yourselves at
home. These are my boys Ralph and Daren.”
She motioned them forward so they could meet us. They each shook my hand,
letting, Daren go first, He was the spitting image of his father in a younger
version but we were both the same height at 5’7 and just a little older than me
by a few months, meaning he was already 17. He gave me a firm handshake and
stepped back so his brother Ralph could introduce himself being more like his
mother in likeness compared to his father he had just turned 16, he said we had
met at Earls Summer Garden Club party before school started. I couldn’t recall
them, considering I had met a lot of people back then.
Mrs. Knox stated that she does vaguely remember me now that he mentioned it.
She said “Well then, I let my boys give you the grand tour. While I freshen up
the guest room, for the girls and the boys can share my boy’s room.” We nodded
that would be fine, and didn’t remind her that we were married and we usually
slept together, after all, it would be considered rude to correct them as we
were their guests. I picked up my sleeping bag and readjusted my backpack
placing my pillow under my arm letting the Daren and Ralph carry our suitcases
as we followed them down the hall. While their Dad spent some time with their
mother before going back to work.
Daren asked. “So you are friends with Earls?” We nodded and they gave us each
a silly grin even more so when I said Greg and Chad
were my best friends. Ralph asked if we ever played the game Blind Man with the
Earls we shook our heads no. They smiled
even more as he opened the first door on the right telling us this was their
room and placed mine and Eli suitcases against the wall.
Daren told me Eli and me that we wouldn’t be needing a sleeping bag. As I
noticed each of the boys had their own bed, but it wasn’t a single, it was
roughly a queen size bed watching him open the closet telling me Greg and Chad
donated them to them when they each got brand new beds this past summer.
Including a membership card to the Night Owls club, watching him fetch his
wallet and pulled out his membership card and showed it to me and Eli, as Ralph
did like wises. Noticing they were allowed the entire package giving them the green
light to have sex.
Eli said. “Bro, isn’t the club you started?”
I nodded and said. “It was a good idea at the time because it was intended to
be a private club for young nudists like me. Stating their parents had given
them permission to have sex and what they were allowed to do.”
Rhoda said. “Ok and you forgot to mention that?”
I said. “Sorry, if you haven’t realized we have kinda been a little busy over
the last few weeks, besides what does it matter were married? We don’t have to
have permission to have sex.”
She pulled me into a kiss and said. “Speaking of being married, why didn’t you
say anything to their mother about our special sleeping arrangements?”
I said. “Because it would be rude to, I wasn’t sure how she would feel about us
all sharing the same bed. You must remember that it not all that common here to
find four people all married together, more or less 16 and 17-year-old
teenagers.”
Daren said. “She wouldn’t have cared, but the guest room bed isn’t big enough
for four people so two of you would have had to sleep on the floor or on
the pullout in the living room which isn’t very comfortable. Plus she didn’t
know about your sleeping arrangement and so she chose the most common when we
have friends or relatives over.”
Rhoda nodded, “its just one night so I’ll let go.” I placed Eli and my sleeping
bag in the closet and placed our pillows on each of the beds indicating which
bed we are sharing with the two brothers and then continued the tour of the
house.
Daren explained opening the next room seeing two massage tables that their
mother is a massage therapist and a good one at that. Stating their mother is
known to give her family one every now and again. He opened the next room that
adjoined it finding a large tub like mine in my Heber home which could be for
long soaks with pulsating jets. He asked if we liked we can use it once we have
gotten settled as he shows us the bathroom off to the side that her clients use
when they are getting a massage.
Hearing their mother come in say. “An excellent idea, it will give us a chance
to get acquainted,” and turned on the water adding her own favorite of skin
softeners noticing that she had same items that we use all the time, watching
her add the mix berry bubble bath to the water.
She said. “I’ll make us all a snack while you get settled in. you’ll find a
bottle of sex enhancement pills and condoms if you need them in the cabinet.”
We were about to follow the boys down to the guest room, having their mother
apologize. “Please forgive me, it wasn’t my intention to discount your
marriages. It just that I had forgotten you were all married to each other
being so young and the strange circumstance so uncommon to our way of life
which I looking forward to hearing about. But the pullout is not all that
comfortable unless you like feeling a bar against your back and it’s only for
one night. I figured the boys would be far more comfortable sleeping together
instead of your wives sleeping with my two boys.”
And said grabbing towels and robes from the linen closet and setting them on
the cabinet where she keeps all of her massage toys. “We will work something
out once we determine what happens in regards to your father and these false
charges like I said make yourselves at home. No reason to be shy either, after
all, if my husband has told you we belong to the Stringum’s Garden Club and our
boys all belong to the Night Owl club, a private club for just the people in
your age group.
“I am not exactly sure how it started other then many of us parents liked the
idea because made it so we didn’t have to worry what our kids were doing,
unlike so many kids these days doing, drugs and getting drunk and worst having
unprotected sex with the rise on teen pregnancy because of it… finding this
club much more a keen to the idea that having them and us sign a contract that
only allows certain privileges and guaranteeing us they won’t go too far by
practicing safe sex. Which we really like because it addresses everything in
neat little package what they can do and can’t do unless given permission by us
which makes them responsible for their actions and holds them accountable.
“I am little lost regarding your special circumstances, but I have been told
that as a married couple or collect group that you ask for permission from each
other before engaging in sexual activities with anyone else. I must say I
really like that idea because my husband I to like to be with other people
every now and again. It spices up our love life considerably.
“Listen to me how I go on and on letting you stand there as I babble. Oh before
I forget. Don’t worry about being modest in our home. Nudity is just part of
our life and we see people naked all the time as you might have been told I am
a massage therapist, during the day to help provide for my family. Seeing this
where I work. In fact, while you’re here I’d be willing to give you each
massage and teach you and your wives some of my techniques.”
She giggled slightly and left the room reminding the boys to put their things
away if they are done with their homework and for us to hang up our clothes in
the closet. Rather then letting them gets wrinkled inside our suitcases.
I wasn’t sure what to do with ours so Eli and I added our clothes inside the
boy’s closet for now because how or simple plan keeps changing, as they slid
theirs over to give us room. We left our socks and boxers inside our suitcases.
So we wouldn’t get mixed up with the boys, due to the fact they hadn’t been
marked yet.”
Eli and I changed into a robe, folding our clothes over a chair considering we
had only worn them not more than a couple of hours. The boys licked their lips
seeing how ripped we were and we followed them down, stopping long enough to
use the bathroom. Having to wait our turn; because the girls had occupied both
bathrooms, including the one inside the massage and tub room. Like I said the
house wasn’t all that big and would have been really cramped if Greg and his
brothers and sisters had joined us.
Even though we had showered earlier we didn’t decline the offer of a nice
soothing bath as we climbed in as the boys quickly put their homework away, and
had decided to join us once they were finished doing their homework as we
waited for the girls to get settled. Which was nothing new, when it comes to
boys we didn’t take all day to do it, but we knew better than tease the girls
about their little girlish habits? Always putting on fresh makeup when they
were just going to wash it off again and make sure their hair was perfect when
they would just be getting it wet again.
Mrs. Knox came in with her boys as we watched them remove their robes and hang
them up next to ours. She had already asked us if we wouldn’t mind if they
joined us so we could get to know one another. Knowing we weren’t shy about
sharing ourselves openly. After all, they were members of our various clubs and
I vaguely remembered them at Bishop Earl Summer party.
So being naked in each others company didn’t bother me, or them having been
told that by her that nudity was part of their lifestyle like it was with me
and my Rothwell family and Earls and most of my friends. Even Eli and the girls
being raised in the satanic church barely even blushed around my friends. The
girls smiled seeing the boys aroused cobras, which made me a little homesick
for Jake and Adam.
Instead of staring at them, I closed my eyes and lay back letting the jets and
hot water relax me, listening to Eli and the girls telling them about our
strange marriage using the excuses that it was their parent’s old custom,
instead of telling them the truth. Eli was still uncertain regarding how much
to tell anyone about our life and the real reason we were married.
I smiled
when I opened my eyes as Rhoda slid next me and took my hand. I teased her a
little by rubbing her sweet spot. Whispering in my ear if it was ok if she had
sex with the boys, I knew she couldn’t wait to feel their large penis and even
Eli and me were looking forward to finding like us they too had hard slick
bodies and had already been perfectly groomed.
I said I didn’t mind, but I wasn’t sure how their mother would feel about it,
even though I had seen on the membership card that their parents had said yes
to sex. I was just uncertain how they felt about doing so in front of them,
being naked in front of them was a whole different thing than having sex or
stimulating them.
So as I was about to ask a stupid question regarding it if it was ok. The door
opened and Mr. Knox entered the room and watched as he removed his robe, it was
the first time that I could remember seeing him naked and he looked really
good, nice and buff as if he works out with his boys, I had been told they have
small gym in their basement and hot tub.
I didn’t go down and find out because I really had a problem with basements. More
so in the dark and in homes, I have never been in before. I smiled seeing he
too was slightly aroused noticing his wife eyes as they went straight to his
cobra sized penis. He said. “You don’t mind if I join you? I have been dying
for a nice relaxing bath after being on my feet all day.” We all shook our
heads as he climbed in near his wife. Watching our wives make their way over to
his sons, now that we both had given them permission.
Mr. Knox sighed with great relief as the water soothed him; he said. “I called
your adoptive parents told them what had taken places so they wouldn’t worry.
They said it would best if you stayed here in the meantime, that if your mother
wants to see you she can come here to avoid angering your father further. So I
have arranged that the storage container be placed near our home. Your
caseworker has been called and she told me it would be best to empty your room,
learning that your father has refused to allow any more visitation rights in
your mother’s home until the family court judge overrules him.
“Insisting we remove the alarm and the safe lock door and all the future in the
room to prevent you from moving back in regardless what the family court judges
decides, indicating with the charges against you and your friends will stick
this time. Yet the family court hearing won’t go before the court until
sometime next month, but it will hinder on the ruling on the judges verdict
here regarding the charges you and your friends are being accused of, but it
won’t be until Wednesday until the case is heard so all parties can have time
together their evidence to plead their cases.
“So we thought it best to remove Aaron from the home. Bishop Clark has
contacted your caseworker and they feel it would be in his best interests until
we can resolve this issue your father charging you with. That Aaron stays with
him, that way he can attend school without any disruptions and still be close
to his mother when he needs her, and since he already friends with some of
their kids it was the best place for him now that Earls have moved out of their
home. So while he is in school tomorrow will move you and him out of the house
so your father can say we weren’t doing our jobs until the Judge's verdict is
handed down, not only here but in family court.
“Normally we would send you home to your adoptive parents. But these are
serious charges, requiring you and your friends to be here. Your father is
already filling out the paperwork as we speak, placing a restraining order on
you and your friends not to come near the house or him in a one mile radius, he
has every right to do so without a court order which will be enforced
temporally or until the Judge will overrule him if has no evidence supporting
it.
“Knowing it will take some time together witness statements and proof of that
you and your friends tried to rape your sisters, he is insisting they both see
a doctor of the courts choosing to find out once and for all if either of them
has been raped by you or anyone. He also trying to get your marriage revoked
stating he didn’t give his permission for you to get married.
“Which will be an uphill battle for him because legally he isn’t your guardian
the moment he had signed his rights away giving your mother permission to let
the Rothwell’s adopt you granting your mother an open adoption, with all the
rights and pillages to see you whenever she wants or have you visit her in her
home as well as your grandmother also signing the document. In case your father
tries to contest it.
“Greg and your mother has also given a list of the boys Susan and Becky have
had sex with, and I will be visiting them tomorrow to get their statements and
inform them and their parents that they are to be present for the hearing so
the Judge and your father can hear and have a chance dispute their testimony.
Your grandmother too will have to be there. Because of the agreement, she
signed regarding your visitation rights and your open adoption with the
Rothwell’s. You caseworker will contact a lawyer that has helped in the past
that is familiar with your case, with the State picking up the tab, your father
will be assigned one tomorrow by the courts since he is unable to afford one.
“Your adoptive parent will also have to be here to give their statement and
stand before the Judge as your guardian, but until the Judge gives his verdict
you and your friends will be required to stay here and be supervised in case
you think about leaving town according to too your father, which is ridicules
because you haven’t done anything wrong to require a police officer to be with
you and your friends wherever you go. To ensure that you are keeping your
distance, and to make sure that you don’t leave town until after the hearing on
Wednesday.
“So Tony will pick up your mother in the morning and take her to school and so
she can register the car and pick up her plates at dealer first thing in the
morning. Then her friend Mrs. Cranny can bring her back and give her statement
to the charges that she has been here during the time you have been visiting
your mother and that you and your friends are innocent of the charges your
father is accusing of over during the time you have visiting your mother this
past week.”
He rolled his eyes and said. “I guess that means none of us is going anywhere
for now, Which is more than fine with me considering I am the one that has been
asked to make sure you behave yourself and not get into trouble. My new partner
officer Chris Delaney is staying with your friends the Earls to make sure they
stay within their boundaries and will be going to school with them in the
morning, which he is looking forward to getting mobbed by teenagers wanting to
see him handcuff someone and see his gun. I for one am very glad it’s him and
not me. I’ll introduce him to you tomorrow.” He gave a heavy sigh “Man I really
hate your father,” We all second that opinion and enjoyed our bath letting the
tub do its job.
