Chapter 204-1
Battle
Of The Courts
Part 2
Even though Eli and I could have
slept in we didn’t, mostly because we heard the large storage container being
unloaded, it was like looking at a boxcar on a train without the wheels, either
way, it was still cool. Yet it would be sometime before Officer Knox’s buddies
could go up to get my stuff, knowing my mother would be at school when that
happens, but I had no doubt my father would be there to make sure every scrap
of my room was empty to his liking. He wanted me, gone; he wanted me dead if he
could arrange it. He wanted the same with Aaron, but he would be facing a
losing court battle either way.
Yet because he filed a complaint he has the right to be heard, even though the
charges were bogus. I wasn’t worried, mostly? And that mostly had to do with
Jeff leaving me completely alone. Not even Tony has heard squat from him, which
means he either doing his ghostly duties or being punished or we aren’t in any
danger. I slipped on a robe and clean pair of boxers and sat down at the
breakfast table with Eli. Mrs. Knox kissed us both on the head as we waited for
the girls. Mr. Knox was reading the paper and looked up and said. “I should be
gone about an hour or so, your father has insisted that we have all your stuff
out by 9 am or he is going to throw it
out onto the street.
“Personally I liked to see him try because he only just one man and a very
small man carrying heavy furniture just wouldn’t work, but I rather not have
him take an ax to it and have himself a little barbecue. I am already charging
him for my time and the guys that are going to help me move your stuff. Knowing
it is going to piss him off when the Judge overrules him. Stating he has no
right to kick you out of your mother's house, just because he hates you.
“Yet we have to do it because it’s the law that every compliant regardless of
how we personally feel about it must be heard until it is thrown out of the
court. So I want you to stay inside until I get back, your adoptive parents
said you had plenty of homework to do anyhow and all needed to be done by
Wednesday. You can use my wife’s typewriter and we will set it up here where
she can keep an eye on you.” I nodded that sounded like a plan.
The moment his buddies arrived he left as I watched his boys come in with big
smiles on their faces giving me and Eli two thumbs up stating they had been
kissed by our wives and really enjoyed it as they too went out the door to
catch the bus.
Mrs. Knox said giving a heavy sigh. “I think we need to do a little grocery
shopping since you boys are pretty much stranded here. We certainly don’t want
you starving to death now do we?”
Eli smiled. “Not when your food tastes as good as this.” Shoveling large pieces
of French toast in his mouth and swallowing it nearly whole with a glass of
orange juice.
Rhoda said. “I thought your husband said we couldn’t leave the house?” She
asked her and Jackie taking a seat next to us and started to fill their plates.
Mrs. Knox said. “The boys can’t leave the house; his father isn’t accusing you
girls of rape charges or trying to kill him. He just wants none of you near him
or his family, until he can have his day in court. Besides the paper said with
adult supervision you can go anywhere you like that isn’t near his father or
his home or place of work. I consider my self an adult.
“Plus Eli and Eric have things to do today once the guys come back with his
stuff. So that leaves us girls to the one thing we're good at and that is
shopping. I don’t have any clients until noon
and usually do my grocery shopping on Monday morning. So hurry up so we can
leave.”
The girls nodded and did what they were told once they were finished Eli and I
cleaned up and I begin doing my homework as the girls went shopping. It wasn’t
long after that Officer Knox came back with his buddies, by then I had dressed
so I would be ready to lend a hand. Officer Knox said. “Your father is such an
a*s, he made us do all the work as he stood there watching. He even made us
take out all of Aaron's stuff as well; stating he was going to do whatever it
takes to make sure Family Services takes him.
“Without your mother being present we didn’t have a choice, even though we told
him that wasn’t going to happen, but it's all good because Bishop Clark has
already agreed to take Aaron until your father can have his day in court. I
called your caseworker she said she be here within the hour. I have posted a
police car as requested at your father’s workplace when he is done filing his
papers at the police station and the courthouse. I am billing him for the gas
as well as our time, even though we will never see a penny of it.”
There wasn’t a lot of stuff in my room at my mother’s house. Just the bed,
bedding, and the dresser, yet he made them take off the door and remove the
alarm as well as the hidden cameras, and my phone; including all of Aaron’s
clothes. He didn’t have closet seeing that all his clothes were stuffed inside
a garbage bag which I had no doubt my father had already cleaned out his room
the moment he went to school so in some ways I was a little lucky because I had
a closet and I had already taken all mine with me.
Mr. Knox said as much as he opened the bag of laundry inside a garbage bag and
the smell was beyond rank as if the had been washed in the sewer. It had my
father’s calling card all over it. He sat to the side stating my caseworker
would most likely want to look at it. There was no bedding or a bed for that
matter or a dresser with Aaron's stuff indicating my father wasn’t about to
waste something he could use.
Which meant he was going to use Aaron’s room instead of sleeping on the couch
or move it upstairs in my room to keep an eye on my mother? Personally, I
didn’t care; he could do whatever he likes as long as he doesn’t lay a finger
on my brother. He would have kept my bedroom furniture as well, if it wasn’t,
for the fact I could prove that it all belonged to me because I had the
receipts to prove it, and it was on the police report listing every item on it.
My caseworker showed up when we were just finishing swapping out the guest room
replacing my bedroom furniture with the one inside the guest room. She didn’t
look all that pleased to see me as she said. “Well, it looks like your father
still trying to get his way after all these years. He doesn’t seem to learn
that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on, but the law is the law and everyone
that files criminal charges has the right to be heard even if it is a lie. I am
going hit him with everything I got, so there will be no doubt in his eyes and
the court's eyes that this needs to stop. That he either steps up to the plate
or keeps his damn mouth shut.”
I left Eli to it after I had introduced him to her, as my husband which didn’t
go over so well, because it was the first she was hearing about it, but it was
better to hear about it now than be caught off guard when my father brings it
up inside the courtroom. However, I didn’t tell her everything, in fact not
everyone knew everything.
She even said that if anyone asked or bought up the details regarding our involvement with the satanic church. Just too say that it is classified and
would need the ok from high government official listing it under the witness,
protection act. She made a note to make sure that it was listed in my file.
That I can not be asked regarding our involvement; unless it is inside the
judge’s chambers, where it isn’t allowed to leave the room or to be recorded by
any means.
She was angry hearing about everything he had done over the last week, today’s
actions alone made her grind her teeth placing the ruined clothing into the
trash bin adding a note that my father was to be held accountable for
destroying private property not only mine but of Aaron's, plus have him be
charged housing costs for him and me, plus he would paying our court costs and
filing fees when he loses.
Our attorney would be stopping by in the morning after they had taken
everyone’s statements so they could see about how things were going to go down.
Stating that so far my father has yet to proven anything, other than a few
witnesses that were seen fleeing the scene of the crime, and have all been
brought up charges of vandalism and attempted murder and public nuisances,
stating that alone will help our case. Making them a witness seem laughable to
the court.
Plus the fact I didn’t’ lift a single finger to even suggest I had intended to
kill him, but if he wants to bring that up she has a whole list of dates and
enough pictures and hospital bills of all the injuries he has caused over the
years. His threat against me and my friends will note that nothing has changed.
He is still the same angry man he has always been and has tried numerous times
to kill me, and my brother. That any threat he has made towards me and my friends
and my mother and brother should be taken seriously and the law is on our side
because we have done nothing to but to protect ourselves.
Far as my brother is concerned there is no chance in hell does have to worry
about being placed in the system, not with my mother and my grandmother
unwillingly to do it, but enough of our friends to make sure that was never
going to happen. She had Officer Knox take her up to the house so she can take
some pictures; she had already had permission to do so from my mother. She
wanted to show the Judge our living conditions that require Aaron and me to
have locks on the door.
She wanted and before and after pictures. She already had the receipts and the
pictures of them in places. She changed her mind regarding Aaron's clothes
telling one of the officers to store it inside the storage container so she
could use it as evidence more so when she saw mine my father had ruined setting
inside my mothers shed. She took pictures of it sitting there where my mother
had put it and opening the bag and gagged as she placed inside her trunk adding
it next to Aaron's, telling Officer Knox to file it as evidence. He said gladly
holding the bag at arm's length as he dropped besides Aaron's.
Officer Knox knew my father didn’t have any money, but that wouldn’t mean he
would get away with it. It just means they would get creative on how he would
pay us all back for the damage he has done, like working it off with community
service. There were plenty of jobs that could be done here that would keep his
dirty little hands busy. I knew that would only make him hate me more, but he
brought it all on himself. I went back to my homework wanting to get all done
leaving me a whole day to study so I could spend the remaining time using my
queue cards.
I wanted to be ready for my finals that I would have to take on Wednesday with
my old classmates when I drop off all my school work, so I can get credit for it.
Yet with the court date on Wednesday morning I was uncertain how that was going
to happen. My caseworker said she’d call the school and work something out. My
task was just to make sure I was ready.
I had doctor’s appointment in the morning so they could examine me as well as
Eli and my wives plus the Earls, because of all the charges of physical abuse
and the charge of me and my friends that are boys rapping my sister, even
though Becky told my father that it was
all a lie. He didn’t believe her, instead, he believed Susan as always. I can’t
wait to see the look on his face when he finds out that Susan or Becky isn’t as
innocent he claims them to be.
I cringed remembering that my grandmother too will be there and she will hear
it as well. Yet I wasn’t to be blamed by my mother’s actions. Tony came into
the house asking me if I was ready to go, tossing me my car keys. I wasn’t sure
if I was going to go or not, but Officer Knox went with me as my police escort,
leaving a note for his wife and our girls that we had gone to the school. It
wasn’t a long drive as we parked near the long line of cars that were either
being worked on or where the student’s cars that worked inside the shop. I got
out my wallet to pay for lunch for me and Eli when the four of us entered the
cafeteria, I had never been inside the high school before, and so I followed the
rest of the students like hungry sheep.
No one paid attention to me and Eli as if we were just another student. They
paid more attention to Officer Knox because he was in full uniform and carried
a gun at his side and a pair of handcuff that dangled against his utility. It
made it seems that he was escorting three prisoners. Yet the moment we entered
the line Officer Knox told me to put my wallet away; handing the money to the
worker as she told us to go to the front of the line.
Everyone moved aside as we took the front, which caused whispers asking if they
knew who we are and why the cop was with us. I too would have been curious, but
I paid them no mind as the lunch ladies gave us extra portions seeing that
officer Knox paid for each of us to have two good sized lunches.
I quickly scanned the room finding Greg and all my friends sitting at a table
in the corner saving me a seat as Chad
and Ben pulled over an extra table and chairs that they had saved just in case
I was able to show up. I also took notice of Officers Knox’s partner Officer
Chris Delaney he too was wearing his uniform and was making a check mark in his
little black book as he quickly updated that he had only two or three students
to talk to regarding the allegations that my sister Susan spreading that I and
my friends rapped her.
He was quite handsome if you are a girl that likes blond wavy hair, who looked
to be in his late twenties medium built, broad shoulders and clean shaven. His
blue eyes always seemed to capture the hearts of many of the girls. Yet he was
married with two boys of his own ages 8 and 9 Larry and his brother Dean; who I
hadn’t met yet but will, in the near future and his wife Caroline. Like Officer
Knox, he was taking this job well to seriously but I liked how he had a taken
charge quickly as he noticed Susan and her pals that were just as stuck up as
she was. Watching her and them as they were about to come over as Officer
Delaney stopped her.
Overhearing her ask what the hell was Eli and I doing here in her school; that
I was breaking the rules by being here. Officer Delaney said. “It’s a public
place, young lady. The restraining order states if it is in public place full
of people all that is required is that he or his friends don’t make attempted
to come near you unless you yourself give permission, not mention there are two
officers here to make sure that never happens. Now kindly walk away and return
to your seat or remove yourself from the cafeteria.”
She looked at me and growled. “I can wait to tell Dad that you were here when
he told you not come within a mile of me.”
She raised her voice another octave so that everyone could hear her. “Rapist
like you and your immoral friends should be behind bars. I have lost count on
how many times you have tried to rape me and force me to have sex with you.”
Causing heads too turn. Someone said. “Oh look the Ice Queen has been just
turned down, by that new kid; I guess he got frostbite when she rubbed her self
against him in line, trying to get him to have sex with her.”
Everyone started to laugh. Susan's lips began to tremble as she fled the
lunchroom crying, with her friends behind her. Once she did everyone clapped
and the bell rang announcing that it was time think about going to class. Greg
said. “That happens a lot, she always trying to get someone in trouble the
moment they turn her down for sexual favors.”
I walked up to put my tray away when several boys tried to grab me. I didn’t
know who they are, until ring leader mentioned that Eli and I were the boys that
married each other, calling us f**s knowing that they must be part of my
mother's ward. The ring leader tried to punch me in the stomach as my quick
reflects took over as I dodged the punch smashing my tray over his head and
kneed him in the stomach.
Everyone stood back as his friends circled me and Eli. Greg quickly snuck
through to help as our cop buddies were trying to clear a path. But by the time
they reached me they were all on the ground bleeding and hugging themselves
into a ball crying like babies. Officer Knox picked up the leader by the front
of his shirt, pushed him against the wall. As Officer Delaney order his friends
to do likewise as they handcuffed them all with zip ties.
Offer Knox said. “Let this be a lesson to you punk. Gay boys don’t fight other
boys… they are too busy running from a fight; instead, you just got your butt
handed to you in a fair fight by boys that aren’t gay. Now you get to see
what’s like getting suspended and spend a night in jail cooling your heels.”
He asked if we were alright I said. “Nothing I couldn’t handle.”
Tony smiled said. “Always in trouble no matter where you go?”
I said. “I do my best to stay out of it, but trouble always finds me.”
Greg and Max and her brother Bruce showed me the way to the mechanics class, as
my cop buddies took care of the boys. Susan gasped seeing me as the boys were
being taken down to the principles office one the boys growled. “W***e; you owe
me and my friends big time for this.”
She said. “I told you he and his friends were dangerous, not my fault you got
your a*s kicked. But you gave my father the evidence we needed against them. So
thanks, I’ll have my father bail you out.”
Officer Knox said. “Move it punk, you can have sex with ice Queen once you
stand up in front of Judge explaining why and who told you to be an a*****e. I
am looking forward to seeing you boys on our clean up chain gang, now move it.
And God help me you are so damn stupid by not keeping your mouth shut Susan.
You win the prize to sit in the principles offices for hiring these boys for
doing your dirty work and will be suspended for it.”
Susan backed away as Officer Delaney came towards her and said. “Up against the
wall.”
Susan screamed. “Rape, somebody help me I being raped.” People gather in the
hallway as they watched Officer Delaney handcuffed her not so gently and asked
her friends if they wanted to join her. Instead, they shook their heads and
ran.
Susan yelled. “Cowards… ouch, that hurts,” as he pushed her in front of him
adding her to the boys as they walked to the principles office.
