Chapter 12 

Covered With Eggs

Ladies kept coming up to Randy as the evening progressed and were making innuendos, but he was doing the best he could to turn them off.  I kept wondering, 'Why are there so many women here who are trying to sink there hooks in to Randy?'

Randy and I were approached by Mrs. Pierson, "Henry, your Grandmother tells me that you and Mr. Taylor are thinking about taking up residence together.  Perhaps you could teach my husband how to be a man."

I took a deep breath, "I'm sure your husband would be offended if he were to hear you say something like that."

"Heck, that man hasn't been any good in bed since I married him. I only keep him around for window dressing.  He's been a frustrated queer since the day he was born.  Mr. Taylor, I know that you received $50,000.00 for what he did to you.  Mark, should have doubled that amount."

Fortunately Billy and Bobby arrived on the scene.  Billy asked, "Dad, are going to church in the morning?  Alan and Andy want us to go to Sunday school with them."

Randy looked at me, "I'll have to check to see what my boss says.  Do Alan and Andy go to the same church as Mr. Adler does?"

Bobby answered, "Yep, they go to the early service and go to Sunday school."

 

Randy frowned, "I guess we need to be going if we're going to the early church service.  The cows won't wait until we get back.

When we arrived at the farm, there was a car parked in the driveway, I knew I should know whose car it was but it wasn't registering.  We started to get out of the car and a voice was yelling, "Adler, we're going to make you and your friends pay for ruining our lives."

I recognized the voice, "Mr. Hamilton, I did nothing to you.  You did it yourself.  You should have thought about what was happening before you decided to let Daily bed you."

Larry Daily jumped out of the car, "Adler, your ass is grass.  They'll be picking up the pieces of your body in the morning."

All of a sudden there was a barrage of eggs being hurled at the two intruders.  Billy yelled, "Don't worry Dads.  The Sheriff's people are on the way.  This will prove to the louse that I'm not lazy.  Maybe we should get Sir Robert and Sir William to kick these people on the butts."

We heard a siren approaching and Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Daily jumped in their car and another barrage of eggs hit their windshield as they were trying to pull away.  The car hit a tree in the yard.  The sheriff's deputy hopped out of the cruiser, "What seems to be the problem here?"

Billy stepped forward, "Sir, these two gentlemen were threatening to hurt Mr. Adler."

The sheriff's deputy asked, "Why is their car covered with eggs?"

Bobby answered, "Because we couldn't figure out any other way to keep the two bad guys from escaping.  Sir, they aren't nice people.  You should have heard the way they were talking."

The deputy started to laugh, "Guys, you stopped them good.   I always wondered what eggs were good for."

Mr. Daily spoke up, "The fucking kids are lying, we were only asking for directions."

Randy shook his head no, "Their car was here when we arrived.  If they were asking for directions, they must have been talking to the animals, because there hasn't been anyone here since early this evening.  What my sons said is true?"

The Deputy looked at Randy, "Who are you and what are you and your sons doing here?"

"I'm Randy Taylor and I live here, since I work for Mr. Adler."

Mr. Daily turned, "So you're the lazy brat's Dad.  No wonder he's so lazy.

That was the wrong thing for Daily to say, because he was hit in the face by a flying egg.

The young deputy started to laugh; "Now I know what they mean when they say someone has egg on their face."

A second Sheriff's cruiser arrived and the deputy stepped out, "Hi, Hank, what's going on here?   We had a call saying that two men were going to hurt you."

"Hi, Steve, Mr. Daily and Mr. Hamilton were sitting here when we arrived home."

Billy came and stood beside me, "Officer, Mr. Daily said he was going beat Mr. Adler up and that we would be picking up the pieces in the morning.  Bobby went and got some eggs and started to throw them at the men while I called 911."

"When they heard the sirens, they tried to get away.  Me and Bobby threw eggs and splattered their windshield so they couldn't see and they ran into the tree."

Officer Steve Godwin laughed, "Well young man, you certainly stopped them good.  Hank, the most we can probably charge them with is trespassing.   It looks as if the radiator on the car has been busted so I'm afraid the vehicle will be staying where it is until tomorrow at the earliest, when we can have it towed.  Whose car is it, anyway?"

Mr. Hamilton answered, "The car belongs to me and I'm not paying any towing fees.  The brats can pay the towing fees and the costs for repairing the car since they're the people who caused the accident."

Officer Godwin frowned, "Mr. Adler, why were these people looking for you in the first place?"

"They claim I got them fired, when I had nothing to do with it.  Mr. Hamilton had been the principal of the Birchcrest School and Mr. Daily was a fifth grade teacher there, until they got canned, or resigned."

Officer Godwin shook his head in disgust, "So, these are infamous Mr. Daily and Mr. Hamilton who my wife says have been shacking up.  I heard about all the negative comments Daily made on his report cards."

Billy interjected, "He said I was lazy and would never amount to much."

Officer Godwin motioned to the two gentlemen, "Get your sorry asses into the cruiser and I'll drop you off when we get back to town."

The two uninvited visitors got into the back of Deputy Godwin's cruiser.  Officer Godwin started to climb in and step back out.  "I think we'll be taking the two gentlemen to have their blood alcohol levels checked, I have the feeling they were driving around drunk and that's why they hit the tree.  The cruiser already smells like a brewery.

Pete, check their car and see if there are any alcohol bottles or such in it."

The first deputy got a flashlight and looked in the car.  He turned around, "Steve, you're probably right.  There are two empty bourbon bottles and half empty bottle of tequila."

Officer Godwin took a deep breath.  "Pete, lock the car and bring the keys."

He turned to us, "Guys, please don't touch anything."

Bobby asked, "Why would we even want to touch anything.  I hope they get sick after the way they were talking to Mr. Adler."

"Young man, please don't wish that on me.  If they throw up in the cruiser, I'll have to clean the mess up."

Billy giggled, "Make them clean their own mess up."

Officer Godwin turned to the first deputy, "Pete, follow us.  I don't think these two men are going to be very cooperative.  Call ahead and advise the dispatcher what's happening.    See you guys later."

We watched as the two cruisers pulled away.  Billy looked up at me, "Dad, how come Deputy Godwin knew you?  Is he the Sheriff?"

"Billy, I know Capt. Godwin because he's married to a teacher friend of mine.  He's not the Sheriff.  He's the Captain in charge of the area here where we live.  I was surprised to see him working tonight.  He usually works days.  I suggest you young men go get ready for bed while your Dad and I check to make sure that everything is secure."

As Randy and I were checking the house and animals, Randy asked, "How do you suppose Mrs. Pierson found out about the money?"

I put my arms around Randy, "I haven't the foggiest idea.  We probably should talk to Uncle Mark about it, to make sure that we didn't somehow let it slip out.  We need to practice kissing while the boys aren't around."

Randy snickered, "I'd rather practice something else."

I unzipped his fly, "We can do that, too, if you would like."

He pulled away, "Not here, you silly.  Let's wait until we're snuggled in our bed, so we can see what we're doing and we can take care of each other at the same time."

I chuckled, "You've been watching too many gay porn movies."

Randy kissed me, "I hate to tell you this, but I've never seen a porn movie.  Maybe we should rent one so I can see what it's like to be gay."

"We'll borrow one from Kenny and Blake.  We'll have to watch when the boys aren't around.  Speaking of the boys, we need to go say goodnight to them, or they'll get suspicious."

When we went to say goodnight to the boys, their door was open.  Billy heard us, "Where have you two been?  You were gone so long that we called the sheriff's office told them you'd been mannapped."

I punched Billy on the arm, "I guess you're going to be reporting us for spanking you for being mean to adults.  Give me a hug and a kiss so we can get some sleep."

As Bobby was hugging me he whispered, "Dad, you're not going to send us away, are you?"

 

"Bobby, why would I send you away?"

"We wasted a lot of eggs tonight and we made that awful man wreck his car.  They aren't going to make us go to jail, are they?"

"Bobby what's a few eggs?  It wasn't your fault that Mr. Hamilton wrecked his car.  I'll make sure that you don't go to jail.  I'll throw eggs at whoever tries to take you to jail.  I'll make sure the eggs are rotten so they won't dare touch you."

Bobby was practically choking me, "Dad, you're so silly."

I kissed him on the lips, "At least I'm not silly putty, like you."

Bobby kissed me on the lips, "Whatever you say, Dad.  Daddy take Dad and spank him for being mean to me."

Randy stood and took off his belt, "Adler, you heard our sons.  Get your butt into the bedroom and get ready to pay for being mean to our sons."

Billy sat up and pulled his clenched fist toward his body, "It's about time.  When's the wedding going to be?"

Randy shrugged, "We can't have a wedding until we move into the big house."

Bobby sat up, "Then get busy and get the plumbing done."

When Randy and I were lying in bed, I propped myself up on my elbows, "Randy, I guess the boys don't have a problem with us being together, but are you sure that you're ready to get into a committed relationship with a man?"

"Only if it's you."

"Randy, being gay is not easy.  There are a great many people out there who hate us."

Randy sat up and pushed me down on the bed, "Hank, I'm well aware of the hate that's out there.  I used to feel that way.  The reason people hate us is that they don't understand that two people can love each other even if they are of the same sex.  They're jealous."

I pulled Randy on top of me, "Did you just tell me you loved me?"

"Shut up and kiss me."

When I awoke in the morning, my kissing fool was still asleep.  I turned off the alarm and extracted myself from the bed and went to the bathroom where I was joined by our two sons.  Bobby looked at me, "Where's Daddy?

"He's still sawing logs.  I thought I'd let him sleep-in this morning.  He's going to be busy for the rest of the week, since I need to work everyday."

"He didn't spank you, did he?"

 

"No, Bobby, your Daddy didn't spank me."

I was cleaning the milking machines when I felt some hands touching my backside.  "Nice firm buttocks.  I guess I need to see if the front feels as good as the back."

Randy's hands moved to the front of my jeans, "Nice little package in here.  A hot dog and some pearl onions.  I guess I can't have everything."

 

"Randy, stop.  What if our sons were to see us?"

 

"Our sons were in the shower when I left the trailer.  I was ordered to come and tell you that you need to get your butt in gear.  We're already too late for the first service at church.  Your mother called and said we were to have lunch with them at the club.  Captain Godwin called and said that the blood tests proved that both Hamilton and Daily were drunk and that Hamilton's car won't be towed until tomorrow."

I turned around and kissed Randy, "If you wouldn't talk so much I could be done."

When we walked into the trailer, Billy and Bobby were fixing breakfast.  Billy looked at me, "Dad, go take a shower.  We're already too late to go to the first church service, but we promised Alan and Andy that we were going to be there for Sunday school."

Needless to say, we left the trailer a total mess because we were running so late.  I remembered why I went to the late service."

We arrived at the church as the first service was ending.  We met up with Dr. Brown and his family as they were coming out of the sanctuary.  Dr. Brown grinned, "Well, the farmers finally made it.  Good morning, gentlemen."

After Billy and Bobby had departed with Alan and Andy, Dr. Brown asked if Randy and I would like to go to the Talk Back class with them.

I had looked at the menu board as we entered and I hadn't seen anything else that grabbed my attention.  I answered, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've been to a Sunday school class, and I didn't see anything else that I thought we might be interested in."

Dr. Brown grinned, "Well be prepared.  We never know what subjects people are going to bring up.  Right now there is a lot of anger over what's been happening with the government cutting of services.  Sometimes it is difficult to see what the discussions have to do with being a Christian."

The decision to attend the Talk Back series was going to prove to be a thing that would change our lives forever.

To be continued...

Editor's Notes:  It is nice to see that Randy and Hank have come to realize that they are, in fact, a couple, and that they love each other.

I can hardly wait for the next chapter.
