Chapter 31
Rescuing Casey

When I awoke Thursday morning, I heard a lot of commotion.  The vacuum was running when Jason came in with coffee and said, “No exercising this morning, it’s a cleaning day.  The three guys were cleaning everywhere while Jeff was doing the laundry and fixing breakfast.

Everyone assembled in the kitchen and Jeff said, “After I’m finished work today, I’m slipping to Lincoln for the swimming finals so I can cheer Kenny, Sammy, Bobby and Kim on.  I’ll be late getting home tonight.”

We all left for the day and when we got home Beau and Jason fixed a light dinner. After the dishes were done, Beau and Jason finished the cleaning while Tommy did his school work.  I just sat and watched the news on television.

Jeff came in about 11:00 and announced, “Kenny took first place in free and back.  Sammy was third in butterfly.  Bobby came in second and Kim placed third in the diving competitions.”

“The relay teams made respectable showings but they need one or two more good swimmers.”  Grams, Drew and Jeff had gone together and did their best to keep Kenny’s spirits up but he still was not a real happy person despite his individual accomplishments.

We went to bed after Jeff had chewed me out for waiting up.    Even though it was late, Jeff found time to make love to me.  After he released his essence in me, he said, “I just wanted to make sure you know that you’re mine and mine alone.”

Good night.

Friday morning, Jeff, Tommy and Jason were off but Beau wasn’t about to let them get away with doing nothing.  He handed them a list of things to they needed to do and things that they had to take care of. 

He gave them a list of groceries, asked them to order corsages for Aunt Evelyn, Grandma Ginny, Aunt Rea, Aunt Cora, Grams and Gigi plus the three for Tommy’s women.

“All three of you creeps need haircuts too.  So why don’t you pick Danny up right after lunch and get him a decent hair cut at the same time?” Beau finally stopped.

“Anything else your royal highness?” Tommy scowled.

“Not right now, but make sure that someone is here to help the Peoria people get settled.  If I think of anything else, I’ll send one of my serfs to tell you.  Now come on Dad, we'd better mosey on down the road.”  Beau called.

As we were driving to Gigi’s house, Beau said, “Dad, I really don’t have a good feeling about this sitting job tonight, for some reason.  I think you and I need to come up with some sort of signal.”  He thought for a minute and asked.” If I call and say strip poker party, what would you do?”

“I think you are suggesting if you say strip poker party, that I am to be there now.” I answered.

He did something he wouldn’t usually do in a public place.  He leaned over and gave me a kiss on the lips.  Before he crawled out, he said, “You sure are smart for an old man.”

He dashed into the house.  Chip and Eddie were already there.  The twins arrived and Mr. Sanders told Beau he would be picking them up at 11:30.  Eddie spoke up and said, “My Daddy is picking me up at 11:30 too.”

Beau called the house and asked Jeff to pick him and Denny up at 11:30 so he and Denny could go with him to pick up Danny.  While Denny and Spencer helped, the four five year olds were making Easter sugar cookies; Beau was lining up people for choir practice in the morning.  When he finished his calls, he helped the guys decorate the cookies.  They made four plates - one for each of the boys to take home and a big plate for Gigi and Spencer and the guys.

Spencer assured Beau that he and Chip would be just fine and wouldn’t let anything happen to Gigi.

Jeff picked the guys up and right after lunch they went and got Danny.  Danny had a very difficult time trying not to seem excited.  The guys went and ordered the corsages to be picked up tomorrow and then all of them went to the Hair Salon where they invaded and kept Gary and Renee busy for almost an hour.  After they had their hair styled, they went home and the three thirteen year olds were fixing dinner and making sure everything was ship shape.  Beau sent the other three for the groceries and they all were putting them away when the Peoria people arrived.

The guys helped the people and made them comfortable.  Grandma Ginny and Rea were sleeping downstairs and the guys had made the room into two single beds.  Aunt Evelyn was sleeping in the guys’ room and Uncle Lyle was sleeping in with Tommy.  Beau and Jason had moved their things into the study and our room.  They had decided that Danny could sleep with them.

Tommy excused himself and apologized for having to leave for his 5:00 sitting job and took off.

Beau and Aunt Evelyn were finishing dinner when I arrived home.  At 6:00, everyone sat down and we were eating and visiting when Tommy came in and announced, “That was the easiest $100.00 I’ll ever make.  The people went to their appointment and were told they were a week early.  The people were so embarrassed by their mistake, and absolutely insisted I take the $100.00 for any inconvience and lost jobs.  They have already booked me for all of next weekend, and they have the cutest three young boys.”

Beau spoke up, “Good, since you are late for dinner, you get to do the dishes.  Now sit down and eat and visit, since I have to go.  D. Dad, are you going to take me so you know where to come when I call and say strip poker?”

I dropped Beau off in a very nice neighborhood and went back to the house.  Everyone was visiting and Jeff explained what would be happening in the next couple of days.  Uncle Lyle asked, “Jack, may I make a phone call please?”

I reminded him he didn’t need to ask and he went to the kitchen.  He made the call and was looking very smug when he returned.  He had no more than set down when the phone rang.

Jeff answered, “Yes, Davey, you can come over until 9:30.  Let me talk to your father.”

Davey came in and joined Danny, Denny and Jason in the basement.  The phone rang again and it was for Rea.  Jeff handed her the phone.  She was talking and said, “Just a minute Lenny … The Edmonds would like us to come to lunch tomorrow.”

“Why don’t the four of you and Jason go?  They don’t want to see the rest of us.”  Jeff answered.

Rea told Lenny that five people would be there at 11:30.

At the Collier’s house things were going great.  Beau was playing games with Casey.  Casey asked, “Aren’t you going to call your friends like all of the other sitters?”

“No, I’m here to make sure nothing happens to you and not talk on the phone.”  Beau answered.

Beau looked at the clock and said, “Mighty Casey, it’s time to get ready for bed. Let’s get you a bath and then get you ready for bed.”

“I’m not going to bed before my parents come home.  You gotta promise me you won’t leave me, because he’ll hurt me again.”  Casey cried.

“Casey, who are you talking about?” Beau asked.

“My brother, he always tries to make me do things, when we are alone.  He sometimes tells the sitters they can leave.  I hate him.”  Casey shuddered.

Beau said, “Casey, there is no way I’m going to let him hurt you, tonight.”  Casey took a bath but Beau was careful not to touch him but took mental notes of what he observed.

Casey finally crawled into bed in his pajamas and Beau crawled on beside him with his clothes on and started to read.  Casey was lying on Beau’s arm and following the story and turning the pages.  It was about 10:00, when someone stumbled up the steps.

Casey’s bedroom door flew open and an inebriated teenager came stumbling in and said, “My, my, what do we have here?  Someone is molesting my little brother.  So this creep can use your body but not me?”

“Carlton shut up.  You’re drunk again, and Beau promised me that you will not hurt me again.” Casey challenged.

“Then I’ll have to use his body.  He looks like he could handle me better than you.” Carlton snarled.

Carlton lunged at Beau who delivered a blow with his foot to the groin area.  Carlton went to the floor and Beau whipped off his belt and secured Carlton’s hands and then he grabbed Casey's belt and secured Carlton's feet.

“Casey, get a phone now, while I make sure that filth mouth here, does not get away.”  Beau said, as he watched Carlton.

Casey brought back a mobile phone and Beau told him what number to call.  When Jeff answered, Beau said, “Tell Dad strip poker party now.”

Since everyone else was settled, Jeff and I both went, and Casey met us at the door.  Jeff bounded up the stairs to assist Beau.  Beau came down and called the Colliers and told them they were needed at home, now and just hung up.  Beau turned to Casey and said, “Casey, let’s pack an overnight bag.  You’re not staying here tonight.”

The guys went upstairs and I waited for the Colliers who I did not know so I had no idea what to expect.  A stylish couple about my age came in and the man blustered, “Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house?”

“I’m Doctor Jack Wilson and my son, who is sitting for you, called and said he needed help.  Let’s go upstairs and see what’s going on?”  I answered, as I started up the steps.

Beau met us and started, “Mr. and Mrs. Collier, neither I nor any of my acquaintances will be sitting in this house as long as your out of control son is around. He came in very drunk and tried to take advantage of me sexually.  He has Casey terrified of him.”

“Quite frankly Mr. and Mrs. Collier, I should have you charged as accomplices for allowing something like this to happen to Casey.”  Beau turned to Casey and said, “Casey, my man, my Dad is a Doctor.  I want you to take him into your parents’ bedroom so he can examine you while your parents watch.  Dad, give Carlton a shot to get him calmed down.”

Casey took my hand and led me to the bedroom.  He lay down on the bed and asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“We want you to show us where Carlton hurts you.” I answered.

Casey took of his pajamas and briefs and raised his legs and pulled them apart and started to shutter.  I looked at the Colliers and they were not looking too good.  “Thank you Casey, now I want you to go get your jeans and shoes on; but first, how long has Carlton been doing this to you?”

“He started to hurt me right after Chucky died.”  Casey answered.

I looked at the Colliers because I realized who they were and that their middle son had committed suicide and now I thought I knew why.

I left with Casey and helped him get dressed. 

Beau took charge and said, “We’re taking Casey with us.  There is no way he’s safe here, tonight.  If you fight us on this, I’ll call Mrs. Rose at Social Services and the chief of Police, Chief O’Brien.”

Casey came with his suitcase and Beau said, “Mr. and Mrs. Collier, please write a permission authorizing Casey to spend the weekend with Doctor Jack Wilson.”

He went and retrieved his belt and Carlton started to go for Beau.  Jeff grabbed Carlton and said, “You lay one finger on Beau or Casey and you will be standing head first in the toilet.  Now sober up.”

The four of us left and Casey thanked us for helping him.  Beau got some bed linens and he and Casey went downstairs to sleep on the hide a bed in the family room.

Jeff and I went to bed.  Jeff asked, “Dad, what’s going to happen now?”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, “Jeff, I guess Beau was correct in his feeling that tonight had bad vibes.”

Editor's Notes:

What in the world is wrong with parents that would allow an older teenager to come home drunk, hurt his little brother, and not even notice what is going on? That is just plain bad.  Thank goodness for Beau's good intuition.
