Chapter 58

Chris stood up then kissed Ben gently. “Next time, I want you in me.”

“Are you sure, I’m pretty big around.”

“Oh yes and don’t worry about that. I have a toy at home that’s bigger around than you are.”

“Oh?” Ben asked in surprise. “Is that what you use when you jerk off?”

Chris smiled. “That and fantasies of you doing it to me.”

Ben reached out and hugged his lover. They got cleaned up then dried each other before returning to bed for a good night’s sleep.

Bennie and I slept soundly and at 7am my body clock had me awake. I slid out of bed and went to the bathroom then grabbed a shower. After getting dried and dressed, I headed down to the dining room and had my morning coffee. After I’d had a number of cups, I went down and checked on Bennie. I heard the shower going so I stuck my head in the bathroom, “Breakfast in thirty minutes baby.”

“Alright love,” Bennie replied.

After breakfast we spent a leisurely day relaxing. After lunch, Brenda wanted to take a nap so it was just the four of us in the living room. Ben and Chris were cuddled together and Bennie was snuggled next to me. Bennie was noticing Ben and Chris were smiling a lot at each other. Bennie looked up at me then smiled and moved close to my ear. “I think they made love.”

I started watching Ben and Chris too then smiled back at Bennie. “You might be right but that’s between them love.”

He kissed me on the cheek. “I know love; we don’t kiss and tell either.”

Just then, my call rang. I got up and went into the dining room so I could take it in private. “Mason.”

“Ace, this is Adam.”

“What’s up buddy?” I asked.

“Tomorrow Carla is being arraigned.”

“Who will have to be there?”

“Just you,” Adam replied. “I’m going to try and offer her a deal.”

“I’m listening,” I replied.

“She’s never been in any trouble before so I’m thinking of maybe five years probation and she is not to come around the White House ever again.”

“That sounds good to me.”

“Thanks Ace, I’ll call her attorney and make him the offer.” Adam told me.

“What time do I need to be there?” I asked.

“I’d say 10AM. Her lawyer will need to talk to her and if she accepts it, she’ll plead guilty then the judge will sentence her.”

“Alright buddy, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said then ended the call.

I sat down then let everything run through my head. This wasn’t going to be easy and I knew Brenda and Ben were going to pop a gasket. I just hoped Bennie had already laid the groundwork so maybe they wouldn’t be so mad.

Bennie came into the dining room. “What’s wrong baby?”

“Did you talk to your grandma and your Dad?” I asked.

“Umm yeah, you mean about Aunt Carla, right?”

“Yes I do.” I said. “How did they take the news?”

“Well, Dad was unhappy that I had her let onto the grounds but I didn’t think she’d pull that bonehead stunt.”

“With her, nothing really surprises me.” I said trying to hold back a smile. “How did your grandma take it?”

“She was furious at her.” Bennie answered. “She doesn’t even want to see her anymore. What’s going on love?”

“Adam called and tomorrow Carla is going to be arraigned and I’ll have to be there. Come on, I have to let your Dad know I have to be in court.”

When Bennie and I returned to the living room, Ben was looking at me. “Was that a business call?”

“Yes Sir,” I started. “It was Adam telling me I need to be in court tomorrow.”

Ben nodded his head. “Do you know how long you’ll be there?”

“Hopefully not more than an hour or so,” I answered. “I’ll keep everyone informed.”

After that, we returned to our leisurely Sunday. Just before noon, Gloria came out and announced that lunch would be served in about ten minutes. Ben cut the television off and we all got washed up then took our places at the table.

Shortly after we were seated, the chef wheeled a cart into the dining room and stopped by Ben then removed the cover. Ben nodded his head the pointed to Brenda then the chef went over to her. He lifted the lid. “How do you like your prime rib, ma’am?”

“Medium please,” She replied.

The chef cut a section of the meat then showed it to Brenda. She nodded her head then the chef cut her a piece that met with her approval. The next stop was Chris. “Medium rare, please,” Chris said.

The chef found him the perfect piece then cut it and put it on Chris’s place. The chef served the rest of us while Gloria brought in some roasted potatoes and several different types of vegetables. We finished fixing our plates, then dove into a fantastic meal. While we were eating Brenda asked Ben, “Do you eat like this all the time?”

“About once a month or so,” Ben said. “Gloria spoils us with her cooking.”

After we finished our feast, we returned to the living room and watched several movies.

Come 11PM, we were all ready for bed. Bennie and I got a shower then cuddled together for a good night’s sleep.

The next morning I woke up at 7:30. I knew breakfast would be in thirty minutes so I woke my sleeping beauty. “Come on love, breakfast in thirty minutes.”

Bennie groaned then managed to get up so we could take a quick shower. After getting dried, we got dressed then headed to the dining room. I fixed Bennie and my morning coffee then sat down. Ben and Chris came in next. As they were having their coffee, Brenda joined us, then Gloria came in with breakfast. Today Gloria made her huevos rancheros and everyone dove into them with gusto. After breakfast was finished, I got ready for court.

Over at the courthouse, Adam was having a meeting with Carla’s attorney. “Why should we take this offer?” The lawyer asked with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

“It’s quite simple counselor, if you don’t I’ll go for the max.”

“Man, you really have some balls. My client has never been in trouble with the law before. She’s liable to get nothing more than probation.”

“Not if I decide to charge her with a hate crime.” Adam countered.

“Have you taken leave of your senses?” The lawyer shot back.

“No I haven’t and a witness can prove it.”

“You’re joking aren’t you?” The lawyer countered.

“I don’t joke.” Adam said firmly with a straight face.

The lawyer had to stop and think. “What’s your offer?”

“Five years supervised probation and she’ll be permanently barred from the White House ground.”

“Five years probation?” The lawyer shouted.

“Yep,” Adam said.

“No jail time?”

“No, unless she violates her probation,” Adam replied.

The lawyer was mulling the offer over in his head. “I’ll take the offer to my client.”

“The offer is good today only.” Adam said with a smile.

The lawyer left to talk to Carla. Inside the holding area, Carla and her attorney were having an animated conversation. “Why the hell should I take that deal?” Carla shouted. “I can get this case dismissed once I tell the world about my nephew.”

“Listen, Ms. Schultz, if you shoot your mouth off in court, the judge will find you in contempt so fast, it’ll make your head spin then there won’t be a thing I can do for you. I think what the acting Attorney General proposed is quite fair. You won’t serve any jail time unless you screw up when you’re on probation.”

Carla was thinking the deal over. “Fine, I’ll take it.”

The lawyer went out and got Adam. The two of them returned to where Carla was being held then Adam had her sign the plea agreement and her attorney witnessed the signature.

At 9:15, I left the residence for the Federal courthouse. I found a place to park then entered though the officer’s door. I was about to find the arraignment docket when a voice yelled out. “Hey you, where do you think you’re going?”

The other Security Guard looked at his partner. “Shut up man, he’s with the Secret Service.”

“Oh really?” The other guard mouthed off.

“Yes, and if you on his bad side, you won’t live it down for a long time.”

I stopped and turned around then went over to where the voice came from. I dropped my credentials on the table. “Do we have a problem?”

The other guard shook his head. “No Agent Mason, there’s no problem.”

“I’ll be the judge of that.” The other man shot back then he looked at my credentials.

The guard’s face lost all its color. “Now, you were saying?” I asked.

I stared at the guard and he could tell I wasn’t happy. “No Agent Mason, there is no problem. Have a good day.”

I turned and headed down the hall towards the courtrooms. I found the arraignment docket and saw David Wheeler had drawn the duty today. I found his courtroom then entered. I saw Adam sitting in the gallery so I sat beside him. “She took the plea.” Adam said.

“Good, now let’s hope she doesn’t shoot her mouth off.”

“Her attorney advised her against doing that so she knows what will happen if she does.”

At 9:30 the bailiff stood. “All rise; this court is now in session. The Honorable Judge David Wheeler presiding.”

David quickly took his seat. “Be seated.” He said then looked at his bailiff. “Call the first case please.”

The bailiff stood. “Your Honor, this first case is the United States vs. Carla Schultz.”

The bailiff handed David the file as Carla was led in by the US Marshalls. “Who is prosecuting this case?” David asked.

Adam stepped through the rail and took his place. “Acting US Attorney Adam Graham for the prosecution.”

Another man stood and came through the rail. “Kyle Parker for the Defense, Your Honor.”

“Thank you,” David said then looked at the file. “I see that a plea agreement has been entered into with the prosecution and the defense.”

Adam nodded his head. “Yes, we have Your Honor.”

David read the terms of the agreement. “Ms. Schultz, have you entered into this freely?”

“Yes Your Honor.” She replied.

“Do you also realize that you will be forever banned from going onto the White House grounds?”

Yes I do, Your Honor.”

“Very well then. Ms. Schultz, how do you plead to the charges of attempted assault and battery?”

“Guilty,” She answered.

“Very well, in accordance with the plea agreement, I find you guilty and sentence you to five years supervised probation. If at any time you get into trouble, you’ll be serving the rest of your probation in a Federal Detention Facility for Women. Do we understand each other?”

I looked at Carla and I thought she was going to lose it on the spot. “Yes Your Honor, I understand.”

“Very well, this court is adjourned.”

David banged his gavel then we all stood while he returned to his chambers. When door closed, I looked at Adam. “That went easy.” I said smiling then he and I headed for the back of the courtroom.

“Yes it did,” Adam started. “Now, let’s hope she keeps her nose clean.”

“I agree but if she goes and shoots her mouth off, will this violate her probation?” 

“It depends on who gets her case.”

“You realize she lives in California, right?” I asked.

“I do and I’ll call the probation department in Sacramento and let them know. I’ll also have Carla brought to me before she’s released so I can talk to her.”

“Good luck buddy,” I said then headed out to get my car. I returned to the residence just in time to see Ben and Chris.

“How’d it go in court?” Ben asked.

“Carla accepted a deal.”

“A deal?” Ben asked.

“Yes Sir,” I started. “She is on five year’s probation. If, during that time, she gets into trouble, she’ll be doing the rest of her time in prison. She is also banned from the White House grounds for ever.”

“I hope she can keep her nose clean.” Ben replied.

“So do I. I never thought for a moment she’d pull the stunt she did.”

“Ace, I never under estimate her.” Ben said before heading down to his bedroom.

I was about to let Bennie know I was back when Chris stopped me. “Can we talk in private for a few minutes?”

“Sure, we can talk in my bedroom.” I said then we headed to my room. “What’s on your mind?”

He broke out into a huge smile. “Oh Ace, Ben makes me so happy I can’t begin to tell you how much I love him.”

“When I saw you two sitting together yesterday I could tell.”

Chris turned bright red. “It showed that much?”

I smiled and nodded my head. “It sure did buddy. Bennie saw it too.”

“Oh god, tell me he’s not mad at me.”

“Oh no buddy; Bennie is really happy for the both of you.”

I saw him relax. “Thank god, I couldn’t bear not having Bennie as a friend.”

I wrapped him into a big hug. “You’ll never have to worry about that. He is really happy for you and Ben. Bennie was worried that Ben wouldn’t find love after his mother died.”

“I’ll love Ben until the day he dies.” Chris said then looked down. “I hope that day never comes because I couldn’t bear to be without him.”

I kissed him on the cheek. “Don’t think about that now, you two have a long life ahead of you both.”

Just then I heard a knock on my door. I got up and opened it. “What’s up, JR?”

“Dusty and I have to go to court on Friday.”

I was at a loss. “What’s the case?”

“Timmy and Billy’s grandparents.”

“Who is handling that case?” I asked.

“The Justice Department and Adam Graham,” JR answered.

“Don’t tell me I have to testify.” I said almost begging.

“Not that I know of,” JR replied as he looked inside the manila envelope.

He saw a letter size white envelope down at the bottom so he turned the envelope upside down and the item inside, slid out. JR looked at it. “Ace, this is for you.”

I really didn’t need to hear that. I reached over and took the envelope. “What the hell is this?” I asked as I ripped the envelope open.

I removed the contents then read the paper. “Damn it.” I shouted slamming the paper onto my desk.

“Calm down Ace, what is it?” JR asked.

“I’ve been subpoenaed.” I replied to JR.

“Why,” JR asked. “You weren’t involved with that case.”

“Only when the boy’s father was found and that was the extent of it.” I said.

“I’ll have to call Adam and see if this can get overturned.”  I said looking at my watch.

It was only 4:30pm so there might be a chance he could talk to a judge and get this subpoena killed. I took my cell out and called Adam. “Yes Ace, what can I do for you?”

“You’re not going to believe this.” I started.

“Try me,” Adam replied.

“I’ve been subpoenaed by Timmy and Billy’s grandparents. I’m not involved in that case.”

“Relax Ace; I know you’re not involved in the case.” Adam confirmed.

“Do you know who is hearing the case?”

“Yes, Judge Wheeler has taken the case after Judge Matthews had to excuse himself. Hold on buddy, there is someone knocking on my door.” Adam said then I was put on hold and a few minutes later, Adam came back. “Well, I’ll be damned.”

“What is it buddy?” I asked.

“I just got a subpoena from that jackass.”

“What for, if I might ask?”

“He’s wants the location of the boys.”

“When hell freezes over.” I said.

“I’ll try and get a meeting with Judge Wheeler tomorrow. There is no way I’ll be able to see him today since it’s almost 5pm.”

“Well, let me know buddy I don’t want to have to sit in the courtroom waiting on something that may or may not happen.”

“I know Ace,” Adam started. “You have work to do and shouldn’t have to be taken away from it because of some lawyer. I’ll let you know when I can see Judge Wheeler.”

“Thanks buddy,” I said then ended the call.

“How’d it go Ace?” JR asked.

“Adam said it was too late today to see the judge today so he’ll call him tomorrow and will try to schedule a time when he can, then he’ll call me back.”

“Did I hear that the Babcocks want to know where the boys are?”

“That’s right and that’s so not going to happen, if I have anything to say about it.” I said answering JR’s question.

“We can’t let Judge Matthew’s address out.” JR said.

“I know buddy and I’ll do everything I can to see it doesn’t happen.” I said. “If I know Judge Wheeler, he won’t let their location become known.”

“Let’s hope not.” JR said as I noticed the time. “Ace, you better get ready for dinner.”

“You’re right buddy, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said then went and washed up.

When I walked in, everyone was in the living room watching Chris going to town on a video game. He and Bennie were busy racing each other and they were oblivious to my presence.  Just then I heard someone say, “White flag, last lap.”

I moved around so I could see what was happening. Bennie tried to swoop down to the bottom of the track hoping he could complete the pass as he came out of the final turn but Chris held his line tight and Bennie couldn’t get past him. He saw the start/finish like and gave it all he had but Chris held on to win. “Ah darn, I’ll get you next time.”

“The red flag is up baby.” I said as Bennie and Chris looked up at me standing there.

“What’s that mean Ace?” Chris asked.

“It means the track is closed so they can inspect it. It also means it’s time to get cleaned up for dinner.”

Bennie looked at the clock. “Oh yeah, come on Chris, I don’t know what Gloria’s making but it sure smells good.”

Gloria fixed another feast. Today she fixed her tacos and I really pigged out eating four and I had debated on making one more but I decided against that. “OH go on Ace,” Chris said pushing the soft taco shells towards me.

“I can’t buddy; I’ll explode if I do.”

Bennie reached over and patted my belly. “Hey love, when’s it due?”

I glared at him. “You’re a million laughs.”

Chris was rolling. “That was funny Ace.”

“I don’t see you pushing yourself away from the table at night.”

“Why should I?” Chris started. “I love Gloria’s cooking. A guy could get spoiled real easy, aren’t you Bennie?”

Bennie’s jaw almost bounced off the table. “Hey, I admit it. Gloria is a great cook. I don’t think I could ever learn to cook as well as she does.”

With all the talking going on, I decided to fix another taco. Once we were all totally stuffed, Bennie and I went down to his room so I could get comfortable. “Come on love, let’s get a shower.”

Bennie was already naked and his tool was standing tall so I knew what was on his mind. “Are you trying to tell me something?”

He came over and planted a big kiss on me searching for my tonsils in the process. After several minutes of this, I had to pull back because my tool was in an uncomfortable position inside my pants. “You mean you don’t want to?” Bennie asked me as he saw me fixing my tool.

“Did I say that?” I asked as I reached out and led Bennie into the bathroom by his hard equipment.

I saw Bennie’s eyes closed and his breathing was getting labored. “Un ah no lover, you didn’t. Ummmmm”

I felt his dick start to expand and I wasn’t about to let his load go to waste. I knelt down and took him into my mouth just as he exploded. I wasn’t prepared for his first blast and it almost gagged me. I quickly swallowed the load then was ready for another blast which I quickly received. After five firm blasts, he finally stopped shooting. I had to hold onto him because his legs started getting weak and wobbly. I continued to hold him until he regained his legs. “Feel better now love?” I asked.

He gave me a shit eating grin. “How’d you know?” Bennie replied then leaned against me so I held him then got the shower going.

I gently popped him on the butt then he managed to get into the shower. I ended up washing him then I got myself clean. Once that was done, Bennie was conscious enough where he could dry himself. I quickly dried my body then we returned to the bedroom. When we entered, I got quite a shock. “Whoo hoo nice view.”

I froze then quickly covered myself. “Chris, what are you doing in here?” I asked.

“I got lonely. Ben is on the phone and Brenda is watching an old boring movie.”

Bennie woke up then flipped on the television. He went into his collection of DVD’s and they managed to find something they both liked. I got dressed then went outside to find Ben so I could let him know where Chris was then I returned to Bennie’s room.

The movie was just over two hours long so by the time it was finished, I was ready for some much needed sleep. I had to wake Chris up so he could make it back to Ben’s room. I gave him a good night kiss then Bennie and I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the alarm woke me at 7:45. My body had finally adjusted to Bennie’s summer vacation schedule. I hurried to the bathroom then after doing my business; I got dressed then headed to the dining room. On the way, my cell phone rang. “Mason.”

“Good morning Ace,” A chipper voice said.

“That’s easy for you to say,” I said as I headed to the coffee pot.

“Did you just wake up?” He asked.

“How’d you guess?” I asked taking a sip of coffee.

“I know you buddy. You’re not worth a dam until you’ve had your coffee.”

“Gee thanks,” I replied giggling. “Did you manage to speak to Judge Wheeler?”

“Yes I did. He can see us at 10.”

“I’ll be there,” I said then ended the call.

I was just about to make sure Bennie was awake when he came into the dining room. “Coffee please,” Sleeping Beauty asked.

I got up and fixed him a cup then he sat down and waited for Gloria to bring in breakfast. We didn’t have to wait long as she came in with her Mexican omelets. She hadn’t set the food down when Ben and Chris arrived. “Good morning Señor Ben.”

“Good morning Gloria.” Ben replied as she set his food in front of him.

As soon as everyone got their meals, we dug in. “Ace, what do you have on tap for today?” Bennie asked.

“I have to meet Adam at the Federal courthouse at 10AM.”

“What case is that for?” Ben asked.

“It’s for Timmy and Billy Babcock.” I answered taking another bite of my omelet.

“I didn’t know the Secret Service had that case.”

“We don’t, that was NCIS’s case but they turned it over to the FBI.”

“So what’s going on then?” Bennie asked.

“I got a subpoena.” I answered.

“For what?” Ben asked.

“You got me Sir,” I replied then finished my coffee.

“Who sent that to you?” Bennie asked.

“I’m not sure but I think it was the defense attorney.”

“Why, you’re not going to defend them are you?”

“After what they did, no way love.” I answered.

When breakfast was finished, I went got ready to meet Adam. As I was heading for my room, JR and Dusty stepped off the elevator. “Did Adam manage to get hold of the judge?” JR asked.

“Yes he did, we have a meeting with him at 10.” I answered. “Do you think you could stay here with Bennie and Chris?”

JR looked over to Dusty and he nodded his head. “Sure Ace, JR could use a break today.”

“Have you been working him too hard?” I asked.

Dusty smiled then laughed, “No, nothing like that.”

“I’ve been going over my notes and stuff for the trial.” JR said. “But what I don’t understand is why you would be testifying for the defense. You weren’t even there when we arrested them.”

“I know so I can use that when I see the Judge today.” I answered as I saw the time then had to shake a leg.

I made sure I had my keys then headed downstairs. It didn’t take that long to get to the courthouse. I found a place to park then headed for the Police Only door. I was about to walk in when I heard a voice. “Hey Ace.”

I stopped and looked to see who called me. “Hey Bob, what’s going on?” I said as he trotted over. “Let’s walk and talk.”

“Last night, we got a call of a suspicious vehicle.” Bob said.

“Where and why are you telling me this?”

“Because this might have a bearing on an upcoming case,” Bob answered.

“Alright Bob, I’m all ears.”

“We got an unmarked car over to the call then saw a car driving up and down the street by Judge Matthew’s house.”

That got my attention. “Who was it?”

“It’s seems he’s a private detective.” Bob replied.

“A private dick,” I started trying not to holler. “What did he want?”

“He wouldn’t say but since he was by the Judge’s house, I can’t help but think he was looking for Timmy and Billy.”

“Why and who hired him?” I said through gritted teeth.

“The why, I don’t know but who hired him, I can only guess.”

I was livid. “The Judge will love this. Do you have a copy of the police report?”

He reached into his back pocket and handed me a piece of paper. “There you go.”

“Thanks,” I said then went to the courtroom. “Did you let Judge Matthews know what happened?”

“Once we had escorted the guy away, I went up and talked to him.”

“Thanks for the heads up Bob, I better get inside or Judge Wheeler will have my hide.”

“Alright Ace, I’ll catch you later.”

Bob left then I almost had to run down the isle. “Judge Wheeler is waiting for you Agent Mason.”

I knew I was in for it now. I knocked on the door then I heard a, “Come in.”

I went inside and looked at the clock on the wall. I was only five minutes late so I hoped he wasn’t too upset. “Good morning Agent Mason.”

“It’s about time,” A voice said so I turned and glared at him.

“I don’t recall pulling your chain.” I shot back.

“That’s just enough counselor.” David said in a firm voice. Now, what is it you wish to discuss with me?”

I pulled the subpoena out of my pocket and handed it to him. “I’d like to know why I was sent this by the defense.”

David read it over then looked at the mouth piece. “Well, what’s the meaning of this Mr. Lawson?”

David handed him the paper. “This is easy; I want Agent Mason as a witness for the defense.”

“You what?” I said rather loudly.

“Agent Mason,” David said.

“I’m sorry Your Honor but I have no involvement in this case. I wasn’t the arresting officer.”

David looked over to the lawyer. “Is that true?”

“Who are you going to believe?” The mouth piece asked.

“That’s enough Mr. Lawson, one more comment like that and I’ll find you in contempt.”

“So this so called cop can fabricate anything and the court buys it?”

“That will cost you $1,000 and one more comment will cost you two days in jail. Do I make myself clear?”

“Yes, Your Honor.” Lawson replied rather contritely.

I looked at the suit. “If you’d bother to look at the file, you would have seen the arrest report.”

I read it and I saw an attachment from you.”

I was surprised because I didn’t remember adding anything to JR’s report. “Where is this report?”

“I don’t have to show you…” He started.

“That’s enough,” Judge Wheeler said interrupting. “Produce it.”

Lawson dug into his briefcase and handed me the paper so I could read it. I started looking at it then remembered what it was. I had done JR’s attachment for the medical evidence. “Your Honor, all this is, is the Medical evidence. If he’d had bothered to look, there is a copy of it in there.”

“Is this true?” David asked not happy.

“I think there might be but I have a right to call him as a witness for the defense.”

“Go right ahead but you won’t like what I’ll say.”

“I don’t condone perjury.” He shot back.

“That’s enough. I’ve never known Agent Mason to commit perjury.”

“Fine then he won’t mind being here when the trial starts.”

“Excuse me?” David asked.

“That’s right I want him here.”

“No way, I have work to do.” I said.

“Not so fast.” Lawson said getting cocky.

“I’m not going to tie up a Federal Agent for something that may or may not happen. If you want to call him as a witness, you can let Adam Graham know and he can see to it he is in court.”

“But Your Honor,” Lawson whined.

“I’ve made my ruling.” David shot back.

“Fine,” Lawson spat. “Then we have a motion to put before the court.”

“What motion?” David asked.

“The defense wants my client’s grandsons in court.”

“For what purpose?” David asked.

“My clients have the right to confront their accusers.”

“Provided they are the accusers,” I said.

“They are.” Lawson answered.

“Oh really,” Adam asked. “Did you read the indictment?”

“Of course I did,” Lawson shot back.

Adam reached into his briefcase and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him. “Then what does this say?”

Lawson read it. “The United States vs. William and Rachel Babcock.”

“Do you know what that means counselor?” Adam asked.

“Yes, the boys filed charges against my clients.”

“Mr. Lawson, that’s ridiculous and you know it.”

“Is it Your Honor?” Who took the case to the Grand Jury?”

“I did,” Adam shot.

“On a complaint from who?” Lawson retorted.

“The arresting officer.” Adam answered.

“Let’s see, that would be one JR Carl from NCIS, is this correct?”

“He was the arresting officer but he is no longer with NCIS.”

“Your Honor, we demand the charges be dismissed.”

“I’d watch my tongue Mr. Lawson. You’re in no position to demand anything.”

“Why, if Mr. Carl no longer works for NCIS, how can we be sure of his creditability?”

“I can vouch for him,” I said. “Agent Carl is with the Secret Service.”

“I’m satisfied,” David said.

“Mr. Lawson, does the name Phillip Ware mean anything?”

His face suddenly lost all its expression. “Umm,” He stuttered.

“Answer the question,” David shot.

Lawson remained quiet. “What’s this about Agent Mason?”

I didn’t feel comfortable spilling everything in front of the mouth piece. “Your Honor, this is for your ears only.”

“Oh, trying to have an ex-parte meeting with the Judge?” Lawson asked with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

“That will cost you another $1,000 and two days in jail.” David said as Lawson’s mouth hung open.

“But Your Honor.” Lawson said trying to get his foot out of his mouth.

“Don’t whine counselor,” David said. “I gave you a warning not to spout off but your mouth got you into a bind. Agent Mason, we can talk about this later.”

“Objection,” Lawson said. “If you’re meeting in private with Agent Mason, then I have the right to be present.”

I looked at David and he knew me well enough to read me. “If you want to be here, then answer Agent Mason’s question.”

“Lawson broke out into a sweat. “Well Your Honor, I do happen to know the person.”

“How do you know him?” David asked.

“He is a private detective who has worked for me in the past.”

I started reaching for my handcuffs. “Keep talking counselor.” I said.

“Agent Mason,” David said so I reached into my jacket and pulled out the police report Bob gave me.

He started reading the report and I saw the blood vessels on his neck start to bulge. “Mr. Lawson, I advise you to be careful with what you say.”

Lawson almost fainted when David told him that. “I don’t understand.”

“Is Mr. Ware currently working for you?” I asked.

“No he’s not.” Lawson answered.

“Really?” I asked. “Then why was he stopped cruising up and down a street last night?”

“There is no law against that.” He countered.

“When he has his headlights off and neighbors are forced to call the police?” I countered.

Lawson got really quiet. “What do you have to say?” David asked.

“He’s not working for me on any case now.” Lawson said.

Just then David went behind his desk and started filling out a form. “Fine then, he can answer some questions I have.”

“What is that, Your Honor.” I asked.

“It’s a bench warrant for Mr. Ware.” David answered then stepped outside.

I stuck my head out and David motioned for me to come over. “Was that report accurate?”

“Sadly it was David.” I answered.

I really hope Lawson isn’t behind this because if he is, I’ll arrest him so fast it’ll make his head spin.

“Agent Mason, I want Cal’s house guarded 24/7.” David said.

“It will be done.” I said then pulled out my phone.

I got Dylan to get a crew together and head over to Cal’s place. “Do you think I should call him later?”

“I think you should, sir. If that guy comes around again, I don’t want the boys getting scared. Also, ask Jake to keep his eyes open for strange vehicles.”

“I’ll do that, Ace.”

“Thank you, judge. Have you made a determination about that subpoena?”

“I have and I’ll make my ruling inside chambers.”

“We returned to David’s chambers then Lawson started popping off. “If I don’t get everything I want, I’ll be appealing your ruling as well as be seeking sanctions against Agent Mason.”

“Excuse me?” David shot back.

“You heard me; you were outside having ex-parte communications with this cop.” Lawson spat.

I went nose to nose with the lawyer. “Listen jerk-wad, if I find out you hired that private detective I’ll personally arrest you.”

“Oh, so now you’re telling me what I can and can’t do?”

“Well, when your employee was stopped, he was driving up and down a street with his lights off prompting neighbors to report a suspicious vehicle.”

“Did they ever stop to think the car was lost?” Lawson countered.

“Why would he be driving with his headlights off at night?” I asked as Lawson stood there silent. “I thought so; you don’t have an answer for that. And you now admit he does work for you?”

“What of it?”

David had heard enough. “Alright counselor, what was he doing out there at 11:30 at night?”

“How should I know? I’m not his keeper.”

“He’s your employee so you have control over him.” Adam added.

“Well, I don’t know what he was doing out there.”

“Fine then,” Adam started. “If he’s seen out there again, he’ll be arrested.”

“On what charges?”

“Attempted burglary.” Adam answered.

“You’re reaching.” Lawson countered.

“We’ll see,” Adam said.

“This is harassment.”

“No it’s not. The residents have a right to be safe in their homes at night and they don’t need a strange vehicle driving up and down the street with its lights out.”

“He better not be bothered again.”

“Then what is he doing out there?” David asked.

“I’m sorry, that is confidential.”

“So you admit to being an accessory to this.”

“I’m not admitting to anything.”

“Well, you just better hope he’s not crazy enough to go back out there.”

“And if he does?” Lawson shot back.

“You’ll be standing before me answering questions.” David said not happy. “Now, everyone out of here. It’s almost noon and I have a case to hear after lunch. Mr. Lawson, you still have the little matter of some fines to pay plus there is the matter of two days in jail.”

“WHAT? I have clients.” Lawson shouted.

“You should have thought of them before you shot your mouth off after I gave you a warning.” David countered.

“I’ll appeal.” Lawson said.

“Go right ahead.” Adam said. “You know contempt citations are rarely overturned unless the penalty is totally out of line and that’s not the case here.”

“Agent Mason, will you take charge of him?” David asked.

I took my cuffs out. “Turn around and put your hands behind your back.”

I cuffed him then led the lawyer out to David’s bailiff. The bailiff took him to his home away from home then I caught up with Adam. “Can you believe him?” Adam asked as we headed for the back of the courtroom.

“With the people we’ve come across, nothing surprises me. Now, I hope that guy comes back out.”

“Why?” Adam asked.

“Because there will be a welcoming committee waiting for him?”

“Oh, what have you done Ace?”

“I have a counter assault team out there. If he comes back out, they have orders to arrest on sight. I’ll lay you odds he’s trying to find the boys.”

“Why would he risk his career like that?”

“Why did David do what he did?” I replied.

“Good point.” Adam replied as we walked up to our vehicles.

I had to get back to the residence. I was about to leave when my cell rang. “Mason.”

“Ace, it’s Dylan. There is a dark colored Dodge Charger driving up and down the street.”

“Pull it over.” I said then ended the call. “Adam, he’s back over there.”

“Let’s get over there.” He said as I started my car.

When I got out on the road, I turned my lights and siren on and hurried over to Cal and Judy’s place. When we arrived, I saw Dylan with a vehicle stopped. I pulled up in front of the car and hung my credentials on my jacket pocket. “Why am I being stopped?” The man asked.

“State the nature of your business here.” I countered.

“I’m not at liberty to say.” He said.

“Unless you want to be charged with attempted burglary you might want to reconsider your answer. I replied.

“What, I’m not trying to break into anyone’s house.”

Adam walked up. “I suggest you learn the law.”

“Weren’t you stopped out here last night?” I asked.

“Maybe,” He replied.

“Dylan, let me see his ID please.”

He handed me his driver’s license. I looked at the name and sure enough this was the same guy in Bob’s police report. “According to this police report, you were stopped out here last night. You were also informed not to return to the area and here you are again. Now, what are you doing here?”

“I hereby invoke my 5^th Amendment rights.”

Adam heard that. “Fine then and I’ll invoke my rights. Arrest him.”

We got him out of his car then Dylan cuffed and searched him. “Hey what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Our job,” I started then I felt inside his shirt pocket.

I reached in and removed the items. He had photos of Billy and Timmy. “Those are mine.”

“Are these your children?” I asked.

“No, they’re my cousin’s boys.”

“And who might your cousin be?” Adam asked.

“He’s not from this area.” The man replied.

“That’s not what I asked.” I countered.

“Why do you want to know?”

“Because these two boys are under Federal protection. With what I’ve found, I have enough to charge you with conspiracy to commit kidnapping and since they’re under federal protection, this makes it a federal crime.”

“WHAT?” The man screamed as he started trying to wiggle out of the cuffs. “I’m not trying to kidnap anyone.”

“So what are you doing here?” Adam asked.

“I refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate me.” The man replied smugly.

“Dylan, book him on conspiracy to commit kidnapping.” I said.

“Wait, wait,” The man screamed. “Can’t we work out some sort of a deal?”

I stopped and spun him around. “That all depends.” I said looking at Adam.

“Depends on what?” He asked realizing his ass was in a sling big time.

“It all depends on what you have to say.” I answered as Adam was nodding his head.

“Alright but I’m going to need protection.”

“Protection?” I asked.

“Yeah, those people are really crazy.” He said.

“Who are you talking about?” I asked totally in the dark.

“I don’t know. All I know is that they’re some high ranking Navy dude and his crazy old lady.”

I knew right away who he was talking about but hadn’t a clue what he was referring to.

“I’m listening,” I started.

“They have their lawyer pay my fees.”

That statement piqued Adam’s interest. “Please, go on.”

“I don’t know. That’s what he’s saying all the time.”

“So you work for him?” I asked.

He nodded his head. “Yeah I do. He pays my fee promptly.”

I wasn’t sure if I could believe him or not. “Do you have a check from him?”

He tried to wiggle his hand into his back pocket. “Yes, I do. He just paid me and I haven’t had time to get to the bank.”

I reached into his back pocket and found a folded piece of paper. When I took it out I opened it and sure enough, it was a check from Lawson. “You charged him $5,000.00? That must have been some job you did.”

“Yeah, it was.” He said.

“What was it you did?” I asked.

“Looking for those kids.” He quipped.

“You’re lucky you didn’t find them.” I shot.

“Why?” They’re not your kids.” He retorted.

“No but like I said before, they’re under federal protection. How would you like to spend twenty five years to life in a federal prison?”

“That’s bullshit.”

“No it’s not,” Adam added. “That’s the sentence. The maximum you could get is life.”

“What, no way. I’m not going away for life for anyone.”

“Then start talking,” I shouted.

“Fine, why do you want to know?”

“Let’s say you got them, what were you supposed to do next?”

“Call Lawson. He’d have told me where to bring them.”

“Any idea where you would take them?” I asked.

“Not a clue. He’s trying to keep his hands clean.”

“Well, his hands might be clean but the rest of him is in deep shit.” I returned.

I was going to suggest he call Lawson but he’s cooling his heels in jail. “I tried calling him this morning but I didn’t get an answer.”

“That’s because he let his mouth overload his ass.”

“What does that mean?” He asked.

“He’s in jail serving out a contempt citation.” Adam answered.

The man laughed. “Serves him right. How long will he be in there?”

“Two days.” I answered.

“Just great, he owes me another five grand.”

“How would normally get paid?” I asked.

“I meet him at his place and he’d stroke me a check.”

“He’ll be out the day after tomorrow.”

“Great, I’m not doing anything more for him.”

“Now, if I see you back here, all bets are off.” I started. “Do we understand each other?”

I removed the cuffs. “Yes Agent Mason,” He started. “He and I are through.”

Adam put his hand on the man’s shoulder. “Not so fast. You will need to tell this in court.”

“And without those kids?” He asked.

“That’s right.” I finished.

“Alright but he’s going to be really pissed.”

“That’s his problem.” I said. “Now, here are the stipulations for your release.”

“Stipulations?” The man shouted. “I’ve done everything you’ve wanted.

“Not completely.” I added.

He sighed. “Alright, now what.”

When Lawson gets out of jail, I want you to set up a meeting with him.”

“Where?” He asked.

“Personally, I don’t care but somewhere he’d talk openly.” I replied.

The man’s face changed. “The only place he’d do that is at his place.”

“Well then it’ll be at his place.”

“What do you want?”

“I want to put you in there wearing a wire.”

“Have you lost your mind?” He shouted. “If he finds that, he’ll kill me.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t.

“What makes you think so?”

“They’re not big and bulky like they used to be. They have better reception and they send a signal further.”

“How far?” He asked. “I’m not going in there without some kind of protection.”

“We’ll be right outside.” I said. “We’ll be able to hear and record everything.”

“Record?” He asked.

“Yes, record. Look, we’ll have that equipment with us in our vehicle.”

“This guy is a maniac. He’s not going to take kindly to me not having those boys.”

“Too bad,” I said. “He’ll have to live with it.”

He finally agreed to our requests so I released him. “Do you have a card with a number I can reach you?”

I gave him a card and wrote my number on the back of it. “You can reach me anytime at that number.”

“Alright Agent Mason, I’ll be in touch.”

I let him go telling him he better keep in touch.

After he left, I looked at Adam. “What would you think if I got the boys?”

Adam glared at me. “I’d say you’ve taken leave of your senses.”

“Why? They’d be safe.” I asked.

“Do you really think Judge Matthews would agree to that?”

“The way he loves those boys, I doubt it.” I answered.

“Then I’d say forget it.” Adam replied giggling.

“Yeah, it was just a thought.” I said laughing too.

“For your sake, it should be a quickly passing one.” Adam retorted.

“I get the message buddy.” I replied then got into my car. As soon as I started the engine, I heard a call on my radio. “SS base to SS2.”

“SS2 … go ahead.” I answered.

“Are you on your way back to the residence?”

“I am; ETA is about 15 minutes.”

“Copy that SS2. Meet Special Agent Wells upon your return.”

“Will do.” I said then headed for the residence.

When I arrived, I saw Agent Wells in the office so I went in and fixed a cup of coffee. “What can I do for you?”

“Nice to see you again Agent Mason. Take a look at these.” Wells said then pulled an envelope out of his pocket.

I looked inside and saw a stack of bills. I took one out and saw a gold stripe across it. I held it up to the light. “Not bad knockoffs.” I said.

“They’re too good.” Wells said.

“Where’d you get them from?”

He started. “In Chicago.”

“Did you manage to make an arrest?” I asked.

“Yeah, and we have the printer in custody too.”

“Good deal.” I said smiling.

“It was,” Wells added. “We were lucky a loss/control man spotted the bills and called us.”

“Man, he had a good eye.” I said. “Those were top quality fakes.”

“You know it.” Wells said as I heard the door open.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Bennie standing there. “What’s up?”

“Nothing much, I was getting bored.” Bennie said then saw the bill. “Nice fake.”

Wells was blown away. “You could tell just by looking at it?”

“Well, I held the bill so I could see the hologram. This originally was a twenty.”

How’d you do that?” Wells asked.

Bennie went over and showed him exactly how to hold the bill so he could see the hologram. “How was that?”

“That seemed easy enough.” Wells answered.

“It is,” Bennie started. “I learned that when I was a little kid. I had a five and almost out of nowhere, I saw the hologram. The more I learned, the more I started holding my cash like that.”

“We should teach this to retail store workers so they can quickly spot phony bills.”

“Good idea,” Bennie started. “Maybe losses at stores will go down.”

“That would be something.” Wells replied. “If they could prevent shop lifting.”

“The cops would be out of business.” Bennie added laughing.

I looked up at him. “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that.”

Bennie nodded his head. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right. Ace, it’s almost noon. Gloria will have your hide.”

I looked at the clock then quickly excused myself so I could get back to the residence. As Bennie and I walked back, I wrapped my arm around him. “Why were you getting bored?”

“Grandma was glued to the TV watching ancient movies.” Bennie answered.

“Ancient movies? I asked somewhat confused.

“Yeah, made back when you were a kid.”

“Excuse me?” I said then started to hold him and tickle him at the same time.

He started to laugh and wiggle. The next thing I knew I was against the wall on my back. Bennie ran over and held me. “Ace, baby, are you alright? I’m sorry.”

I cleared the cobwebs. “I’m fine love. I guess you’re too big to be held and tickled now.”

“You just hit a spot that is super sensitive.” Bennie answered as he helped me up to my feet.

I managed to get back to my feet then we walked into the residence. We stopped at the dining room and Gloria hadn’t set lunch out yet. We went to Bennie’s room then we quickly washed up. “So I’m ancient, huh?”

“I didn’t mean it like that.” Bennie replied trying to make amends for his earlier goof. “I mean the movies were in black and white.”

My head snapped over and looked at him. “Hey, when I was a kid, we had color TV.”

“I didn’t know love.” Bennie said as he wrapped his arms around my neck and kissed me.

He looked up at me with those puppy dog eyes he has and right away my heart melted and all was forgiven. I leaned down and kissed him. “It’s alright baby, I’m not mad but I won’t tickle you anymore.”

He grinned at me. “Cool, you mean it?”

He came over and kissed me again do I quickly pulled him onto the love seat and then sat on him and let my fingers assault his ribs. This was another mistake on my part as Bennie managed to get his foot against my chest and he pushed sending my flying off the love seat and landing hard on the floor on my back. I tried to sit up but try as I might; I couldn’t as the landing knocked the wind out of me. I stayed there a couple minutes then started breathing again. I was finally able to sit up and Bennie was pulling on my arm trying to get me back onto my feet. “I guess I don’t know my own strength.”

Once I was standing I wrapped my arm around him and gave him a gentle squeeze. “After that last trip, I should have learned not to do that to you.”

Bennie gave me a hug and kiss. “I’m sorry baby. I have to learn not to kick.”

“That would be appreciated.” I said returning the kiss.

We managed to get cleaned up then went out to the dining room and had a nice lunch. After we ate, I saw Chris and Bennie head into his room while I went into mine so I could go over a few things from earlier in the day. The one thing I was mulling over was how I could get the Babcocks charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping. I knew there was no way Maurice Lawson would break attorney client privilege. I was wondering if it meant Lawson’s ass on the line, would he give them up. That would be something to ask Adam. I decided to give him a call. “Adam, I have a question for you.”

“Alright buddy, what is it?” Adam replied.

“Is there any way we could get Lawson to roll over on his clients?”

“Not really. The only way is they release Lawson of privilege. But that would out their butts right in the sling.”

“You mean to say a lawyer can be part of a conspiracy and there isn’t a thing he can do about it?”

“That’s exactly what it means. Attorney client privilege is as absolute as a priest hearing a confession.”

“How can that be when the lawyer is aiding in a crime being done by his client?”

“It doesn’t make sense, does it?” Adam asked.

“Not in the least bit. Is there any way around it?”

“Not if the clients refuse to waive privilege.”

“What about that PI?” I asked.

“His testimony would be considered hearsay unless he was present when the Babcocks came up with the plan for Mr. Ware to find then snatch the boys.”

“If he was, that would make him a co-conspirator, wouldn’t it?” I asked.

“It would.” Adam answered.

“Shit, it’s not Ware I want, it’s that damn lawyer.”

“Relax buddy, I want him too and I just might have a way to get him.” Adam said.

“Oh, how is that?” I asked.

“I’m not sure yet but I’m working on it.”

Adam and I talked for a few more minutes then I ended the call. I had done all I could so I put everything away then went over to Bennie’s room. I heard him and Chris talking so I knocked on the door. “Come in love.” I heard Bennie say so I went in.

Bennie was lying in bed so I went over and sat beside him and gave him a kiss. I could see both boys had tents in their pants so I was wondering what they had been talking about. Bennie reached down and adjusted his rock hard dick. I hadn’t kissed him passionately so I was curious. “Did that kiss do that love?”

He smiled up at me then wiggled his eyebrows. I reached under the covers and gave it a little squeeze. I heard him gasp. “I’m so hard baby.” He whispered into my ear.

“Are you trying to tell me something?” I asked softly.

“Umm, yeah but.” Bennie started then stopped looking at Chris.

“But?” I asked. “But what baby?”

Bennie reached up and pulled me close to his ear. “Can Chris stay?”

“Are you sure baby?” I asked because he knew how I felt about others watching us.

“It’s fine with me. I just need to pop my nuts. Do you mind?”

I thought it over. “It’s alright.”

No sooner had I said that Bennie and Chris were as naked as the day they were born. I saw Bennie staring at Chris’s smooth body. So I reached my hand under the covers and cupped his swollen nads. I heard him softly moan until I started to close my hand around them. Bennie quickly turned his head and looked at me. “What was that for?”

“Someone was staring.”

Bennie turned several shades of red. “I can’t help it baby. Chris looks so hot like that.”

“Are you trying to tell me something?” I asked.

“Umm well, would you be upset if I looked like that?”

“You’d remove all your hair?”

“Well yeah if you liked it.” Bennie answered.

I ran my hand through his bush. “I’ve come to really like these.”

He pulled his legs up and exposed his love chute. “What about here?”

Chris moaned when he saw Bennie hole. I couldn’t resist so I leaned down and ran my tongue over it. Bennie moaned and I saw his dick twitch. “God baby, you know what that does to me.”

Chris was still staring and pulling on his long thick cock. I could tell what was on Chris’s mind. I ran my hand over Bennie’s winking hole then when it opened; I slid a finger in and quickly found his love button. Bennie started dripping like crazy and I wasn’t about to let his load go to waste so I sent down on him.

“Shit Ace, I’m going to cum.” Bennie moaned then wanted to ease my mouth off his dick.

I was wondering what he was thinking then I saw him looking at Chris jacking his dick and playing with his hole. Chris’s eyes were closed then I saw Bennie reach his hand over. I goosed his love nut and he quickly looked at me. I leaned down and whispered into his ear. “Am I being replaced?”

He shook his head. “Oh no love, that could never happen but can I have a little fun with Chris?”

I looked and Chris’s dick did look inviting. I smiled then nodded my head. “It’s alright baby.”

Bennie scooted close to Chris then took his dick into his mouth causing Chris’s eyes to pop open. He saw what was going on so he just went with it. Chris let his hand slide away from his hole then Bennie took mine. I got the message then reached between Chris’s legs and ran my finger over his hole. It magically opened for me then I dove in to find his love nut. I managed to push on it as I slid my finger in then I saw Chris shudder as I knew the end was about to happen. Chris held onto the headboard as he fired his load into Bennie’s waiting mouth. Every time I felt his hole contract, I knew Bennie was getting a treat. After several seconds of this, Chris had to pull his now over sensitive dick out of Bennie’s mouth. Bennie looked up at Chris and Chris leaned down and planted one on my baby. “God Bennie, that was a great climax.”

Bennie’s dick started twitching and bobbing and I quickly dove on it just as it exploded into my mouth. I had to swallow quickly or else get chocked on his thick load. No sooner had I taken his offering when I felt my pants come down and a warm mouth engulf my leaking dick. It then hit me that Bennie hadn’t moved so I opened my eyes and saw Chris deep throating me. I was so hot at this point I didn’t care and Bennie was smiling as I was getting relief. I felt a hand caress my nuts and that sent me over the edge firing a load into Chris’s mouth. He took every drop I offered and wanted more.

I finally had to stop Chris from sucking on me as my dick had become super sensitive. Bennie was still busy caressing Chris. I finally managed to get Bennie’s attention by tickling his balls. “Are you having fun?”

I couldn’t help but giggle at his antics. “I was.” I said smiling at him.

Chris got dressed then excused himself so Bennie and I could have some alone time. I looked at the clock and we still had a few hours before dinner. “Baby?” Bennie started.

I reached around and pulled him into a cuddle. “What is it?”

“Would you be too upset if I shaved myself?”

“Love, can I ask why this is so important to you?

He looked down then back at me. “Every time I see Chris, he looks so hot.”

“If that is what Chris wants and it’s OK with Ben then that’s between the two of them. Baby, I love you just as you are.”

“You mean you wouldn’t think I was sexier if I was smooth?”

“I think you’re perfect. If you removed your body hair, you’d look much younger.”

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. “Would that be a bad thing?

“Baby, you’re now looking like a young man. You’re growing and becoming the man I want to be with for the rest of my life.”

“But I thought you fell in love with me when I didn’t have all of this.”

“The packaging was lovely but I knew with time, you would mature and get body hair. That’s the person I fell in love with. Do you remember the first time we made love?”

Bennie closed his eyes and then broke out into a huge smile and then licked his lips, “Oh yeah, how can I ever forget that, it was so beautiful.”

“That’s right. And I too remember that day and you were the young man I see here now.”

“No way man,” Bennie started. “I didn’t have near the hair I have now.”

“You sure weren’t bald like you want to be.” I answered.

“Alright, how about you do this then?” Bennie asked as he got up and went into the bathroom.

I thought about that for a moment then finally relented. “Alright, how about I give you a trim?

“Bennie ran back in then jumped and flopped on the bed. “Here you go baby.”

Bennie returned with my personal groomer, tossing it to me before he landed on the bed. I looked at it and there wasn’t a trimming guide attached so I went back to the bathroom to find the one I wanted. After finally finding the one I wanted, I returned but this time I remembered a towel. Bennie saw me holding the towel so he lifted his butt up off the bed. Once everything was in place, I put the guide on the groomer and went to work. The guide removed enough of the long hairs but kept the rest in a neatly trimmed area. Once I’d removed what I wanted, I stopped and let him look at it. “What do you think?”

He ran his fingers through the short hair and then smiled. “I like that baby.” I answered then pulled his legs into the air. “Can you do something back here?”

There wasn’t a whole lot of hair around his chute but there were some growing in. “I can take care of that baby.”

I went back to the bathroom and grabbed my razor and wet a wash cloth. Bennie had rolled over onto his stomach and then pulled his cheeks apart. I took the warm cloth and placed it around the area so the hair would get softer so I could shave it off. I let rag stay there for several minutes then I took my razor out of my pocket. As soon as I removed the rag, I saw Bennie look over his shoulder. I felt the hair on the inside of his cheeks and it was soft enough to be shaved off so I started to move the razor. “Hey, what are you going to do?”

“Well, you wanted this area cleaned, didn’t you?” I asked.

He slapped his hand over his crotch. “Don’t you go trying to cut those off now baby.”

I smiled at him. “Now, would I ruin my playground?”

He turned red. “No, I know you wouldn’t do that. Just be careful.”

“I did Chris, didn’t I?” I asked.

“Yeah and you did a great job.”

I playfully slapped his butt. “That’s right; now lie down so I can do this.”

Bennie relaxed then I went to work on the inside of his cheeks. I knew once this area was smooth, Bennie could keep himself a little cleaner. I would just have to do this about once a month to keep the area totally smooth.

A few passes over the area and I was finished. “How’s that baby?” I asked.

Bennie ran his hand around the area then smiled. “Wow, that is great baby.”

He rolled off the towel which I took that into the bathroom and shook the hair into the trash can. I then took the towel and put it in the laundry so it could get washed.

The next day started off nice and quiet. After breakfast, I was waiting for a call from Ware because I knew Lawson would be getting out of jail today, provided he paid his fines. I headed down to my office in the West Wing so I could think. I hoped what I was doing wasn’t making Ware an agent of the police so the tape would be refused on the grounds that we entrapped Lawson into making incriminating statements. It was just after 10am and I figured David would be in court. I decided to put a call to his bailiff, “Judge Wheeler’s courtroom.”

“Is Judge Wheeler free, this is Agent Mason.” I replied.

“If you will hold on, I will see.”

I was put on hold for a few minutes. “Hi Ace, what has you calling this morning?” David said when he answered his phone.

“Well Your Honor,” I started.

“Your Honor? Is this a formal call?” David asked.

“Well it could be,” I replied.

“Alright so what’s on your mind?”

“Well, yesterday we caught Phillip Ware back over by Cal and Judy’s place.”

“Tell me he hadn’t found his house.”

“No Sir, he was stopped in between your place and his.”

“Thank goodness.”

“When Agent Masters had stopped him, he started popping off and when he was searched, we found photos of Timmy and Billy in his pocket. He tried to come up with a story they were his cousin’s children but we knew better. Now, here is the kicker. He knows who is paying Lawson and his fees.”

“Who?” David asked.

“The Babcocks.” I replied.

“And you’re sure of this how?”

“He told us he had a check from Lawson he hadn’t gotten into the bank and was in his back pocket. It was there from Ware’s business account.”

“Well, that seems to tie the two of them together.” David replied.

“That is does,” I started. “Now, here is where things might get a little dicey. I want to put a wire on him when he meets with Lawson.”

“What are you hoping for?” David asked.

“I’m hoping for the link that the Babcocks are behind trying to get the boys.”

“You need to be careful Ace.” David started. “That PI can’t do or say anything to entrap Lawson.”

“I’ll be careful David.” I said. “I don’t want this tossed.”

“Is there anything more I can do for you?” David asked.

“Thank you, sir, you’ve helped a lot.” I said then we ended the call.

To be continued...
