Chapter 204-3
Battle
Of The Courts
Part 4
The moment I said movie Greg and
them all wanted to go, which was more than fine with me and the Knox’s. Knowing
there was no law stating we couldn’t go, we just couldn’t go anywhere near my
father. We were about ready to leave when the phone rang; I cringed when Mr.
Knox said. “Yes Linda, I did tell Mrs. Cranny about that. Oh, I see well you
tell Paul that it won’t take much for me to-gather with the evidence needed to
make the charges stick. I only thought it would best that she did know what her
husband was doing, that Eric and Eli are not the first boys he has raped. So
she could make sure it doesn’t happen again.
“I see, well then I won’t do anything until he does. No. I won’t, that would be
unfair to the boys he has raped. There’s a big difference in doing something to
save one's life and the people around you. Then think it is ok to do it because
they have been. No. I will not, under any terms look the other way. You and
your husband started this mess so you either clean it up or else faces the
consequences. I completely understand your position, but don’t mean something
shouldn’t be done about it.
“I told Mrs. Cranny I was willing to postpone in regards to your daughter
Becky, but only until we have all the proof we needed to hold Paul accountable
for his actions, and informed Mrs. Cranny about her boys and their friends so
she wouldn’t be blindsided. Yet if he removes these charges, then no one is
willing to say anything and it can be sealed under the witness protection act
and the Judge will have no choice but to leave it be until the ongoing case is
no longer classified.
“Yet if he goes through with it… then he can guarantee that he could be facing
criminal charges, you too can be facing criminal charges and you would lose
everything if that happened. I rather you raise your kids then your husband,
but Linda this must stop. If you won’t put a stop too it… I will.
“There is a difference, a big difference of 14-year old having sex with a grown
man compared to a 16-17-year-old girl or boy where in most states consider them
old enough to get married with their parent's permission, whereas a girl or boy
who is barely 14 having sex. I can guarantee you that his caseworker and the
family court Judge will place your two daughters and Aaron into the system and
Rothwell’s will close the adoption when they find out.
“I rather not tell them, about you allowing a grown man who is rapping young
boys to have sex with your 14-year-old daughter, its bad enough that you allowed
her to have sex at all with boys 3 years older than her. It would be different
if she was 16 or 17 even better 18 when they are sexually active where it is
old enough according to the laws that govern us to make her own choices. I am
sorry doesn’t cut it, Linda. You created this mess with Becky; the only way it
stops is by you stopping it, from ever happening again.
“You do that and will talk, but until then. You better get your house in order
because once we are in that courtroom, there is very little any of us can do.
Either way, Paul will be held accountable, the only question is when. To me and
his adoptive parents and friends, it is a big deal. If you can’t see it, or
your friend Mrs. Cranny, then all I can say is… I am sorry and see how that goes
over when you, and your husband, and the Cranny’s lose everything. Sorry
doesn’t pay the bills,
“Goodnight Linda, No I have said all I am going to say… and no not a chance if
he and you wants to call our bluff then so be it.” He slammed the down the
phone; “sorry my a*s.” He grabbed his coat and we left hearing the phone ring,
He didn’t go back. We knew it was my mother most likely calling back to get us
to change our minds,
We knew if we did and Paul pushed it everything would come out and it would be
very bad for everyone, including me and the Rothwell’s, even though the
government was looking the other way, so we could get them on the harder crimes
like murder. They wouldn’t look away if they found out that my mother allowed
Paul to have sex with Becky, regardless if she couldn’t get pregnant. It simply
shouldn’t have happened.
Yet we knew that witness protection had many criminals that have committed
these crimes standing in the wings so the can bring down the entire ring and
its leaders. Some never even face trial or see the inside of a prison. Either
way, it was wrong what Paul and my mother were allowing stating it wasn’t a big
deal. Yet it was a big deal, if people like Paul think they can get away with
it, because Eli and I were already willing to be rapped to save lives so other
boys like Cranny’s and their friends would never have to go through what Eli
and I as well as many of my friends that have signed on to help take down the
satanic church.
Yet in regards to Becky, no one forced her to have sex with Paul, or any of the
boys she had been with my mother simple allowed stating it was ok. She was
still 14, way too young to have sex, but Susan was just a year and ½ younger
than me, the problem my mother and she would be facing is she paid boys to have
sex with her, which means my mother sold her to them.
None of the boys in Becky’s case were actually paid to have sex, so she
wouldn’t be brought up on charges of protestation of a minor in regards to
Becky only being 14. It was bad enough that she paid boys to have sex with
Susan, even though she was 15, but at least she didn’t force her to have sex
with Paul.
Instead, the boys her age could be explained by a simple lie if they could get
the boys to say that sex was consensual and my mother was unaware about it
before it was too late, but most of all no money changed hands, but the
question is will be enough to save my mother. That alone could cause my mother
to lose everything, yet if she stopped it, it could be swept away, but the ball
was now in play, Paul had two choices either remove the charges or face the
consequence. I had enough on my plate as it was, yet didn’t sit too easy with
me, as I tried to contact Jeff and tell him that Stringum needed to get his
butt home before it all hits the fan.
It was actually the best idea about going to a movie, it not only took some of
the stress away it was great to hang out with my friends. The only sad part was
my mother had my car and because of that, I worried about what she was doing to
it. I didn’t care about her having sex with Paul. Yet I had a feeling that
after what Jennie and my mother learned about his little sex parties when no
one was home while they were at school working on their assignments. That Paul
was most likely was told to get the hell out of her house, which in many ways
could be a bad thing because we didn’t know what he was doing or who he was
doing it too… which made tonight not as enjoyable as it could have been.
We got back around 10:30, after all,
it was still a school night for most of us, even I had homework that just
needed a quick run through, but I was ok with that. Greg and they had managed
to take most of their test on Tuesday because we would all be in court the
following morning if all went well I would be taking only two finals on
Wednesday afternoon, inside the school library with an hour break in between
the two.
Mrs. Hothner and Adams teacher Mr. Tomas had given me a take-home test which I
had finished before had gone to school to have lunch with my friends and worked
on my car. Which only left two tests… the others were just term papers, which I
had rocked out before the wedding and already been submitted. With lots of
extra bonus points; I would get all “A’s” and even if I bomb the tests. The
least I would get would be “A- or a B+,” and I was good with that.
My attorney would be around 11 in the morning to go over our case. Paul had to
have his case dismissed before we went into court or remove it the moment the
Judge reads off the charges. So we planed a hard fight, and Tony told me over
an ice cream sundae that he and his team would back up my story that Paul was
the one that tried to rape me and Eli, and it was him and his team that beat
the crap out of him, for doing it, which was the truth.
He also had the tape shows clearly that Paul had been having sex with his boys
courtesy of our friend the High Bishop and a couple of sex tapes of him having
sex with Becky which he has given a copy of each to his lawyer, as an incentive
to drop the charges he is accusing me of.
I just had two things to worry about and that was our doctor’s appointment
which was scheduled for 8 am tomorrow
morning so my lawyer and caseworker would have his report before going to court
to go over when I met with my lawyer. And if anyone brings up the classified
documents regarding the reason why Eli and I… rectums look a well-oiled machine
from being raped repeatedly we had them and the reason ready to go.
Yet the doctor that Eli and I and my friends would be seeing will be the one
Stringum had on hand. Stating he is my doctor because I was on Stringum’s
payroll that comes with full medical benefits and the same for the Earls and
Eli as well as our wives. Yet I still was worried knowing how my luck runs.
Mrs. Knox smiled at me as she placed her hands on my shoulders and started to
massage them, while we finished our ice cream sundaes. She tsk and said. “Son,
you are all knotted up. When we get home I am going to give you boys and my
husband a massage that will rock your world.”
I said. “Does it come with a nice long soothing bath like last night?”
Se laughed. “Of course it does, you silly boy, all my clients think that’s the
best part; but only the special ones get the extra benefit package that you are
going to get.” She leaned forward so only our tables could hear, “which
includes the bonus sex package.”
Tony eyes brows raised and said. “Count me in,”
Greg and Chad
said. “O’ count us in too.”
Jenny asked. “Is it just for the guys because we could use one a well?”
Mrs. Knox rolled her eyes and said giving a tired sigh. “I guess?”
I pretended not to look at my watch noticing it was almost 10 pm and said. “How about I take a rain check on the
massage, so I can spend a night with my wife instead, now that we have our great
big bed in the guest room?”
Eli agreed even though I knew he only did it because of me, she nodded. “That
could work too, but how about this, I let you your wives give the massage and
teach them so they can benefit as well? Then tomorrow after you have seen the
doctor and your lawyer; I’ll give you and Eli the rest of the massage and the
bonus package; while everyone else is in school?”
I said. “That could work too.”
She said. “Excellent, I have been dying to try making that new sex drink and
wanting to learn that technique of spider love you guys seem to like.”
I asked. “Which position are you most interested in?”
She patted my cheek said. “All of them.”
Eli said. “That could work if that means we include your boys and your husband?
She said. “That could work.”
Even though the Knox’s home was small compared to the Earls or even my mother’s
house. It was doable now that Eli and I would be back sleeping with our wives.
Leaving room for Greg and Chad to spend the night with Daren and Ralph, and bring
in the mattress we had taken from the guest room and put it on the living room
floor instead of pulling out the bed from the couch, for either Cindy or even
Tony and Jenny if they wanted to spend the night or simply walk three houses
down having the house all to themselves plus one dog who I still needed to give
to my mother. We would be just fine even though we’d be a little crowded.
We left for home soon after we had finished our ice cream. Yet when we arrived
the house was surrounded by police cars and a fire trucks, the house was almost
burned to the ground. Officer Delaney spotted us as we tried making our way
through the barricades. He said that boys that had been suspended from school
today and their friends threw flaming beer bottles through the windows started
the fire; they saved most of the house thanks to our neighbors.
Mrs. Knox fell to her knees sobbing as her husband rocked her in his arms. He
said. “It’s just a house dear, it can be replaced. We were just lucky that we
weren’t here. Or we could have all died.”
The boys were in too much shock as they looked at the house that used to
be their home pointing to all the satanic symbols sprayed on the side of the
house. I knew it was my fault, but there was very little I could do. I asked Officer
Delaney if my father had anything to do with it.
He looked at me and said. “The boys wouldn’t talk, but the neighbor over there
said someone stood by and watched. They weren’t exactly sure if it was your
father, but some girl was with them wearing a dark hoody and jeans, but when we
asked about them. The boys said it was payback for them and the Ice Queen, as
if it was some sort of joke, but when we got here, only the boys were here as
the neighbors caught two of them, as the others fled the scene, before we could
chase them down.
“We have sent officers to collect the rest of the boys, and we sent someone to
your mother’s house. Nobody was home, in a way it was our fault because we
didn’t keep a squad car to watch over him; knowing you, your brother, as well
as your mother, weren’t home. That you and your friends had gone out for the
evening. I am sorry for assuming that your father and your sister wouldn’t try
something like this, or the boys for that matter, thinking that their parents
would have grounded them to the house. Apparently, we were wrong.”
Officer Knox said. “It not your fault partner, you can never blame yourself for
someone else actions. We will get to the bottom of this, and when we do than
the ones responsible will pay dearly for it. For now, wake the Judge and get a
search warrant and kick in some doors before anyone thinks about leaving town.
“You and I know there is only one place that Mr. Shepherd can go and it’s the
church house. I want that place searched top to bottom and have roadblocks set
up so no one leaves town without us knowing about it. Then once we have every
boy that we think is responsible and Mr. Shepherd and his two daughters in
custody. God help them if I don’t kick their teeth in.”
Tony came back with my mother’s dog and said. “I have made arrangements for a
place to stay, but it violates the restraining order, the only hotels close by
are the ones in Spanshfork.”
Officer Knox said. “Apparently that was the idea, knowing they weren’t allowed
to leave town unless, it was for school, or for couple hours or so with
supervision. Knowing if they did they could all be arrested for it and would
remain in jail until the Judge releases them.”
Tony said. “Well let’s not disappoint them; I think the Judge would agree that
leaving town so they can’t hurt us would be the best option. Besides, there is
nothing you can do until morning anyway, Mr. Knox… and you can’t get involved
in a police investigation, not when your emotions are running on the hot side.”
Mr. Knox agreed. He wanted the charges to stick; he didn’t want the boys or my
father to get away with it.
He said. “Fine, come on Brenda, kids lets get the hell out of here so, my
partner and my buddies can do their job. I’ll call you once we get settled in
for the night Chris. Chris gave him a salute, and things started to happen as
his buddies went to work.
Tony asked if I had heard anything from our spirit friend. I shook my head and
he said. “Damn, I could really use him right about now.”
I said. “You’re not the only one.” And we all got back into our cars and headed
out of town, with nothing but the clothes on our back as the house was
smothering with hot ambers and black smoke.
