Chapter 68 

I joined my lover then we cuddled together and fell asleep. The next morning I was up before Bennie so I grabbed a fast shower. I got dressed and put my weapon on then looked out into the hall. It was deserted and all the luggage was now gone.

 

Before I went back inside, I saw the USA Today news paper. The headline caught my eye. “Mother in law sues President.”

 

I grabbed it off the floor and started reading. I closed the door quietly then sat down. I couldn’t believe the story. It seems Brenda kept her word and would do all she could to control Ben and Bennie’s life.

 

There were a number of quotes made by Brenda and Bennie would have a fit when he read the story. What had me baffled was how could she get a suit like this filed and on the docket so quickly. I knew with my cases, it would take months to get all the preliminaries worked out before it was scheduled for trial. I got my satellite phone and started to call Adam but then remembered the time. It was 0530 so Adam wouldn’t be in the office. I finished the article then folded the paper up and stuffed it in my computer bag. I didn’t want Bennie to see it just yet.

 

Bennie rolled over and the covers slipped down showing his best feature, his ass. My dick started stirring even though I’d filled him up the night before. Bennie reached his hand back and started playing with his ass which turned me on even more.

 

Bennie was fingering his hole and moaning like he was in an X rated dream. I went around and looked at the front and his sausage was erect and leaking. I saw Bennie sink his fingers deep in his chute then let out a loud moan. It was a good thing I’d moved because Bennie cut loose with a load of hot cum.

 

Bennie rolled onto his back and moaned. “Shit! How’d this happen?”

 

I had to giggle. “That’ll teach you to play with your asshole in your sleep.”

 

His eyes popped open. “No way.”

 

“Smell them.” I tossed back.

 

Bennie tried to be casual about it but he turned red. “Damn, I don’t remember doing that.”

 

“You were asleep baby. But it was one hot scene.”

 

Bennie gasped. “You saw me?”

 

“Guilty as charged. Now get up and get cleaned up baby. We still have to eat breakfast.”

 

After saying that I was quietly hoping there wouldn’t be any newspapers on the floor by the doors. Bennie took a fast shower and got dressed. We made it to the dining room and it was a lot different from the previous time we were down there.

 

It was open seating and they were having a buffet. I spotted Leon and Ramon by our table. Bennie and I went over and sat down then had our morning coffee.

 

After we finished our first cup, it was time for some food. I was famished so I had two plates. One was filled with scrambled eggs and sausage and the other had a large fresh waffle.

 

Bennie returned with the largest omelet I’ve ever seen before. It over flowed the plate and was stuffed full of cheese, ham and bell peppers. I couldn’t resist so I managed to snitch a little piece. It was marvelous. I sat back and watched Bennie devour it. I spotted the clock on the wall and it was 0730. Bennie and I returned to our cabin and got our carryon bags. We went out to the common area and had a seat. Announcements were coming out every few minutes. “Deck 8 passengers are now free to disembark.”

 

Bennie got up and almost ran to the line. He quickly stopped then returned waiting on me to get the two bags. We made our way down the gangway then saw our guys waiting on us. Agents quickly surrounded us. I managed to wiggle out and find our suitcases. I motioned for an agent to come over then pointed to our two. He grabbed the handles and wheeled them over to a vehicle and stacked them inside. I thought I was home free with Bennie until he stopped and grabbed the paper from a large stack. “What the hell is this Ace?” He asked slapping the paper against my chest.

 

Before I could take it, Bennie pulled it back and started reading. We got Bennie into the vehicle and I followed him then it was time to head to the residence. All the way home, Bennie was cussing up a storm over the article. “Dad’s going to be so pissed.”

 

I couldn’t disagree with him but I did want to talk to him. I had a feeling a trip to Sacramento was now in the works. I looked at my watch and it was almost 9 so Ben would be in the West Wing and that meant I would have to make an appointment to see him. We pulled onto the grounds and the driver parked by the back so we could go straight to the elevator. When the doors opened we were mobbed by Tonka. Bennie dropped to his knee and gave his pup a good scratching while he was getting a face wash. I was getting beat by his tail so I reached down and scratched his back. He finally backed up so we could get off then we stepped into the residence. “Ace, Bennie, you’re back.” A voice said then I was in a bear hug by Chris. “Did you have a great time?”

 

Bennie got a cheeky look on his face as he grabbed his suitcase and headed for his room. “Stay here Chris,” Bennie said as he slipped into his room.”

 

Chris smiled and stood there as I knew what Bennie was digging out. A few minutes later, he returned holding a large bag. “This is for you babe.”

 

Chris’s eyes got big when he opened the bag and saw what was inside. “You want to see me in these?”

 

Bennie was smiling like a Cheshire cat. “Hell yeah.”

 

“I’ll do it after dinner but I’ll be wearing a robe.”

 

‘If he really knew what was in there.’ I thought.

 

We heard someone coming from the back of the residence. Bennie’s eyes got huge then he ran over and hugged Ben. “Hi Dad.”

 

Ben leaned down and kissed him on the top of the head. I could tell he was in a bad mood so I didn’t say anything until Bennie ran down to his room. “Dad, I have something for you.”

 

Bennie came out with a small felt bag. He took it out and placed it in Ben’s hand. “Oh son, it’s lovely.” Ben said as he wrapped his arms around Bennie and gave him a big hug.

 

Bennie took the bull by the horns then. “Dad, are you free today?”

 

Ben looked at his son. “What do you have in mind?”

 

Bennie took Ben by the hand and led him to his office. I didn’t know what my lover had in mind so I stayed put with Chris. Inside Ben’s office Bennie had Ben sit down on the sofa then sat on his lap. “I take it you read the news paper.”

 

Ben looked at his son. “It shows that much, huh?”

 

“Well yeah dad, it does.” Bennie said kissing his dad on the cheek. “I have an idea that’ll shut grandma up once and for all.”

 

“Oh, and what is that?”

 

Bennie stood up. “Come on dad, just trust me.”

 

Ben’s eyes got big. “Well, alright son.”

 

“Good, now we’ll need the limo and the agents.”

 

Ben made the phone call and about ten minutes later the limo was in place. Bennie saw Johnny and whispered into his ear. Johnny smiled and nodded his head.

 

Now I was totally in the dark so I was along for the ride. We headed out the gate then I watched the usual scenery as he headed for the downtown area. A few minutes later, Johnny pulled over and cut the engine off. The agents got into place so I took my place and escorted Ben and Bennie inside a building. I had to pay attention so I couldn’t look around but so much. Johnny opened the door then we entered. As soon as we were inside, I knew where we were.

 

We walked down the hall then Bennie went into an office. We entered and the agents stood by the door. Bennie came over and took me by the hand. “Will you marry me?”

 

I leaned down and kissed him gently. “You know I will love.”

 

A man came up to the counter. “How may I help you Mr. President?”

 

He pointed to Bennie. “My boyfriend and I want to tie the knot.”

 

“May I see your ID please?”

 

Bennie reached for his wallet and took out his driver’s license and I pulled mine out too. The man went over to a computer terminal and started typing. A few minutes later, a piece of paper came out of the printer. He came around the counter causing the agents to move over to Ben. Ben raised his hand and the agents moved back. Bennie took my hand as the man began performing the ceremony. A few minutes later, we were husband and husband. Bennie reached into his pocket and took out our rings. He slipped one on my finger then I did the honors for Bennie. When it was official, we had to have a kiss. Ben took Bennie by the hand. “Outside in the limo, hotshot.”

 

We returned to the limo and when the door closed, Bennie was on my lap and we were in a lip lock. Bennie was getting heavy so I broke the kiss. A few minutes later we were back at the residence. “Love, you know who you didn’t bring with us.”

 

“Who love?”

 

“Gloria and I’m not taking the heat for this.”

 

Bennie’s eyes got big. “Oh crap, I’m so dead.”

 

“Not really Bennie,” Johnny said. “I have it on my cell phone. I’ll get it on a DVD.”

 

Bennie looked at Johnny, “Can you burn me a DVD please?”

 

“Sure buddy, for you, anything.”

 

Johnny went to work and returned with the DVDs. Bennie took one and headed for the kitchen. I didn’t hear anything so I guess Gloria wasn’t too upset with him. Just then I felt my cell vibrate. I looked at the text message and it read, “Turn your phone on.”

 

I saw who it was from so I called them back. “Hey Adam, what’s up?”

 

“Welcome home.”

 

“Oh yeah, some welcome home I read in today’s USA Today.” I spouted.

 

“Yeah, that was some headline.”

 

“How in the hell could she have met with an attorney, got the suit done then filed and on the docket in two weeks time?”

 

“Someone was busting their ass.”

 

“That answers part of it but how did it manage to be put on the docket so fast?”

 

“A favor maybe or good luck.”

 

“I’m not placing bets. What is your schedule like for next week?”

 

“Open all next week, why are you asking?”

 

I muted the call and looked at Ben. “Have him come with us. We’ll be leaving Sunday at 10am.”

 

I unmuted the cell. “Ben wants you with us. We’ll be leaving here Sunday at 10am.”

 

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

 

I went down to my room and unpacked my clothes. All my dirty clothes went into the laundry and sent my suits out to the cleaners.

 

Bennie’s bags were still on his bed. “Love, we’re leaving Sunday for California.”

 

“So soon?”

 

“Yes, the case starts on Monday.”

 

“I’m going to rip her ass,” Bennie spat.

 

“Calm down love, you have to behave or the judge will hold you in contempt and I won’t be able to bail you out.”

 

“Ace, please,” Bennie whined.

 

“Alright just control your tongue or I’ll slap your arm.”

 

“I will baby,” Bennie said then smiled. “She’ll have a fit when she sees these,” he said showing his ring.

 

“Yes she will,” I smiled and hugged him. “Now, get your stuff unpacked and put your dirty clothes in the laundry.”

 

Bennie dumped his things down the chute then took Chris his leathers. I followed Bennie to Ben’s room then knocked on the door. Chris opened the door then Bennie handed him the gift. “Go put them on.”

 

Chris closed the door then a few minutes he returned modeling his goodies. “God babe, you’re hot. Dad will love you in those.”

 

Just then another head came out, “Dad loves him in them already.”

 

Bennie and I turned red then quietly left the two love birds alone. “I didn’t expect him to be in there,” Bennie said.

 

“I didn’t either,” I said as Bennie and headed back for his room.

 

I got my gifts for Gloria out and brought them to her. I listened to Bennie and when I presented her with it, she thought I’d given her a million dollars. “Oh, Señor Ace, muchas gracias.”

 

I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. “De nada Gloria.”

 

I joined Bennie in his room. Bennie was crashed in bed. I yawned then decided a nap was the order of the day. I crawled in with Bennie and cuddled then drifted off to sleep. The next thing I knew the alarm was beeping. I woke up and saw it was 11:30 so I knew lunch would be served shortly. “Come on sleepy-head, wake up.”

 

“Oh baby,” Bennie moaned.

 

“Lunch will be ready soon. You can take a nap later.”

 

Bennie managed to get up then we got dressed. We went out to the dining room and Ben and Chris were quietly talking. “Love, don’t let your mother-in-law get to you.”

 

“It’s easy for you to say baby but how can I let someone dictate to me what my son will or won’t do? Would you like it if Sandy did that to you?”

 

Chris’s mouth hung open. “She’d never do that but no, I wouldn’t like it.”

 

Bennie and I came in then I fixed myself some coffee. “Hey dad, I have an idea.”

 

I looked at my love and wondered what was he thinking? Ben was looking at him. “What’s on your mind?”

 

“Well Dad, since grandma wants to put things in the paper, why can’t I?”

 

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

 

He gave me that devilish smile of his, “How about this? President’s son ties the knot in a civil ceremony.”

 

“Do you realize what your Aunt would do?”

 

“Let her run her mouth. I’m not ashamed I’m gay or married to Ace.” Bennie said as he wrapped his arms around me.”

 

Ben rubbed his chin. “I like it. But don’t you give a big story.”

 

Bennie pulled out a piece of paper. “I’ve already written it.”

 

Ben took the paper and started reading. ‘The son of the President, Benjamin L. Jacobs, Jr. tied the knot yesterday in a private civil ceremony at City Hall. The event was witnessed by the President and his Secret Service detail. After the ceremony, everyone returned to the residence.’

 

“Short and sweet son; I like it,” Ben said smiling.

 

“The best thing is there isn’t shit she can do,” Bennie tossed out as he put the paper away.

 

Ben gave Bennie one of his patented looks so Bennie smiled and looked innocent. The rest of the day, we all took it easy. I was about to lie down with Bennie when my cell went off. “Ace, can you come down to the office?” JR asked.

 

“Work calls.” I said as I headed for the West Wing doors. I passed Johnny and Tonka on the way so I knew Bennie would be fine. I entered the office and I was met by JR and Dusty. “Wow nice tan, Ace.”

 

“Thanks and I did manage not to get burnt,” I answered. “What’s up?”

 

JR and I went over to the desk and started going over some things that crossed my desk while I was away. Then it hit me. “Dusty, what’s going on with Yuri?”

 

“Man, he’s fine and back as good as new.”

 

“Is he still in the hospital?”

 

“Nope, across the street. His father came into town and he and his brother tied into it.”

 

“How’d Yuri handle that?”

 

“He was still in the hospital and now he’s fine with it.” Dusty answered then came over and sat beside me. “He and I had a nice talk at Blair House.”

 

I smiled, “What did you two talk about?”

 

“Well, as we suspected, Yuri is gay but more importantly Ivan is his boyfriend.”

 

“Oh crap, Ivan would be killed back in Russia and so would Yuri.”

 

“We know that. Yuri has been given political asylum, much to the disgust of Putin.”

 

“What does his father think of this?”

 

“He seems alright with it. Ivan stuck his neck out for Yuri so he’s a great bodyguard. Are you and Bennie going to see him?”

 

Bennie was tired from the cruise so we could see him tomorrow and before we have to head to California. “Yes, I would like to check in on him before we head out of town.”

 

JR and I quickly went over the files then I returned to the residence. I just got in when my cell rang. “Ace, come down quick.”

 

I closed my phone then took off trotting down the hall. Ed was walking as I flew past him. “Slow down Ace.”

 

“Can’t, JR needs me fast.”

 

Ed turned around and caught up with me. I went into the office. “What’s up JR?”

 

He was sitting at his computer so I went over to see what he was looking at. “What is this?”

 

“It’s a hack in progress.”

 

“Do something JR.” Ed said.

 

“I am.” JR answered as he looked up.

 

“What?” Ed asked.

 

“I’m tracking him every step of the way.”

 

“Is this person local?”

 

“He is.”

 

“Where?” I asked.

 

“This kid is bored.”

 

“Kid?” I asked.

 

“Yep, 17.”

 

“And you know this how?”

 

“Record’s check.”

 

“Tell me you have a warrant.” Ed said.

 

“One better.”

 

“What’s better than a warrant?”

 

“Parental permission,” JR answered smiling.

 

JR was watching then suddenly he pushed a key on his computer. “That’s been stopped,” JR said handing me a piece of paper.

 

“What’s that?”

 

“The young man’s address. His father is waiting for you.”

 

I reached out and took him by the hand. “Come along JR, you broke this case, it’s only fair you get to make the arrest.”

 

We headed back to the residence so I could let Johnny know I had to go out and I stopped by the kitchen to let Gloria know also. We headed to the elevator and Tonka was waiting. We took him with us then after a quick tree stop, we were on our way. On the way, I looked in the mirror at JR. “Alright buddy, tell me what you have.”

 

“Well, the father is Mr. William James Worthington III and his son is William James Worthington IV.”

 

The name sounded familiar. “I just hope he hasn’t lawyer’d up.”

 

“Don’t worry about that. I have him dead to rights.”

 

“You might buddy but with him being a juvenile, he’ll want a free pass.”

 

“Oh no, not with what he was trying.” JR said.

 

We’d talked so much, I almost missed the turn. A few minutes later, we pulled up in front of the house. I brought Tonka with me then he stopped at a tree. JR, Ed and I stepped on porch and knocked on the door. A teen slowly opened it then slammed it in our face. Tonka and I took off for the gate in case he decided to bolt. I hopped the six foot chain link fence as did Tonka. I saw a kid run out the back door. “Federal Agent, freeze or I’ll send the dog.”

 

“Don’t, I surrender,” he said as he dropped face first on the ground.

 

Tonka went over and sat as I went around and searched him then got him in cuffs. I got him to his feet then the back door opened and out stepped a well dressed man. He went up to the boy. “What were you thinking?”

 

The boy just stood there and said nothing. “Answer your father,” I said then Tonka pushed on his hand with his nose causing the boy to flinch. “I’ve nothing to say.”

 

The father got angry. He reached out and took him by the arm. “Come with me.”

 

I was right behind them then I watched as he led his son towards the back of the house. “Sir, I can’t allow you to put your hands on him.”

 

“I’ve never resorted to violence, Sir.” The father said.

 

I still decided to stay with him. A few minutes later a man came to the door. Mr. Worthington came out and answered it. “Phillip, what are you doing here?”

 

“It seems I was called by your son.”

 

I was at a loss. “And whom might you be sir?”

 

“Phillip Farmington and I’m Mr. Worthington’s attorney.”

 

‘Great, now we’re screwed. I won’t be able to question him without his mouthpiece.’

 

“Your client really stepped in it and we caught him with his hand in the cookie jar.”

 

“Humm, is that so? I think you violated my client’s fourth Amendment rights.”

 

“Silence Phillip, you’re out of your league here. The little shit tried to hack into the store’s credit card holder and processor.”

 

“That might be but the police cannot violate his fourth amendment rights.”

 

“They didn’t, I gave them access to my computer.”

 

“You what father?” A voice shouted.

 

“That’s right and I didn’t raise you to be a common thief.”

 

“You bastard,” the son shouted then started to run at him.

 

JR and I quickly got him under control. “Don’t do that again,” I shouted at him.

 

“Fuck you!” the kid spat.

 

JR quickly got to his feet and stopped the father from attacking.

 

I called the Marshalls Service so they could transport him to the Federal Detention area. “I’ll be there to post your bond.”

 

“You might want to call over there. Bond might not be set until his arraignment.”

 

“When will that be?” He asked.

 

“Tomorrow morning, 9am. You can contact Adam Graham.”

 

“I shall do that.”

 

“Phillip,” Mr. Worthington said firmly. “I hope you do pro bono work.”

 

“Why might that be?” He asked.

 

“Because I’ll not be paying for my son’s defense.”

 

JR and I took the boy out to the porch so the two men could work that out. Worthington IV had a smirk on his face. “I’ll be out before the ink is dry.”

 

Just then JR remembered something and went back inside the house. He returned with the teen’s laptop. “Hey, that’s mine.”

 

“It’s being confiscated.” JR said.

 

“WHAT, NO WAY. Farmington.” The boy shouted.

 

“Yes Mr. Worthington?”

 

“They’re taking my computer. They can’t do that, can they?”

 

Farmington sighed. “I’m afraid so Sir.”

 

“Stop them.”

 

“I can’t sir. It was used in the commission of a crime.”

 

“Oh bullshit!” he yelled. “I want that back now!”

 

“After your trial.” Farmington said softly.

 

Just then the Marshalls arrived. I walked to the street and waited for the driver to get out. “Hello Agent Mason.”

 

I shook the driver’s hand as he let the man out of the back. We walked up and took control of the teen. “What the hell is this?”

 

I bowed and waved my hand. “Your chariot has arrived Sir.”

 

“NO fucking way are you getting me in there!”

 

“I’m afraid you are, one way or another. Now I suggest you do this the easy way and step up,” I said with a straight face.

 

“Farmington.” The boy yelled as he was led inside the transport.

 

I watched as he was put into his seat then he banged on the side. The driver came around and when he was sure the teen had been secured, he closed the door then took off.

 

I didn’t know if the teen would give them any problems during the booking process so I decided to go over and see for myself. JR and I left and headed to the detention center.

 

We checked our weapons then were led to a holding area where Mr. Worthington IV was cuffed. “I take it you’re here to get me out of here.”

 

JR shook his head. “I’m afraid not my good man. Now, you have the booking process to go through so you can do it the easy way of the hard way.”

 

“And if I choose the latter?” He said with a cocky tone in his voice.

 

“Ve have vays of making you go with ze program.” I said.

 

“What do I have to do?”

 

A guard came in and undid his cuffs. “Come with me.”

 

I had my credentials on my pocket so we were allowed to tag along. We went into a room then the guard locked the door. He looked at the teen and held out his jail attire. “What do I do with those?”

 

“Strip.” The guard said.

 

“When hell freezes over.”

 

I looked at JR. “We’re in for a cold snap.”

 

I went over to the teen. “Now, get out of those clothes and make it snappy.”

 

“And if I don’t?”

 

“It’s been a while since I’ve undressed someone so if they get ripped, it’s not my fault.”

 

“You wouldn’t dare.”

 

“Don’t tempt me so get stripping.”

 

The kid started removing his things but stopped at his silk boxers and leather loafers. “When I say strip, I MEAN EVERYTHING!”   

 

He kicked off his shoes the shucked his boxers. “Turn around and face the wall.”

 

He did as instructed. “Now step back and bend over and spread your cheeks.”

 

“You’re n-n-n-not going to defile me, are you?”

 

I stepped up and slapped him on his ass. “Not on your life now do it.”

 

He bent over and barely spread them. I gave him another swat then he got with the program. “See, that wasn’t so hard, now was it?” The guard asked as he handed the teen his jumpsuit.

 

The rest of the booking process went without a hitch so JR and I decided to return to the residence. We rolled onto the grounds at quarter after five so I had to beat feet upstairs. “Thanks for the help man.”

 

JR patted me on the shoulder then I headed for the elevator. As soon as the doors opened, Bennie was standing there. I gave him a kiss then went to wash up for dinner.

 

Saturday morning saw me at the courthouse for the kid’s arraignment. Adam was at his table going over a stack of documents. “Morning Adam,” I said cheerfully.

 

“Morning Ace,” Adam replied. “I tried to talk to that kid but it’s either a free pass or nothing at all.”

 

“Was his mouth piece there?” I asked as I came through the rail and sat down.

 

“No, he wasn’t represented. I got a public defender assigned to him.”

 

Just then a young man came walking in. “Mr. Graham, I don’t know if I can represent him.”

 

“Why not?” Adam asked.

 

“He’s not taking my advice.”

 

I sat down and closed my eyes. ‘That kid will hang himself.’

 

“Just do your best,” Adam replied then he returned to his files.

 

At 9:30 Adam put his work away and we went on the other side of the rail. “All rise, this court is now in session; the Honorable Judge David Wheeler presiding.”

 

We stood while David climbed the steps to the bench then sat down. “Be seated.”

 

“What brings us here this morning bailiff?”

 

“This morning we have the arraignment of Mr. James Worthington IV. The charges are attempted computer theft and fraud.”

 

“How does the defendant plead?”

 

The boy’s lawyer went to stand but the boy beat him. “Not guilty and demand the charges be dismissed.”

 

David dropped the file on the bench and glared at him. “You demand?” David said not happy.

 

“Quite right Sir.” Junior said. “It seems the cops like to trample on people’s fourth amendment rights.”

 

“Young man, be seated and remain quiet. I have read the report from the Secret Service and it states your father gave them complete access to his computer.”

 

“He can’t do that.”

 

His lawyer looked at his client. “I am afraid he can.”

 

The boy put his head in his hands. “I’m screwed.” He said.”

 

“Do you wish to change your plea?” David asked.

 

“I want a deal.”

 

Adam stood and looked at David. “Mr. Graham, your thoughts here?”

 

“Five years for the attempted theft, 2 years for the attempted fleeing without.”

 

“Aren’t you being a little hard on him Mr. Graham?”

 

“Your honor,” I stood.

 

“Yes Agent Mason?”

 

“I think the plea meets justice. This young man believes he can do whatever he wants when he wants to. Laws do not apply to him.”

 

David looked at the boy. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

 

“Your Honor, my rights were violated. I never gave the cops permission to enter my room.”

 

“You live there rent free, am I correct?” David asked.

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Then everything in that house belongs to your father. That goes for your bedroom.”

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“Then you think wrong.” David tossed out. “Now, what is your plea?”

 

“Not guilty.”

 

“So entered,” David said. “What is the government’s recommendation on bond?”

 

“Due to the severity of the crime, we are recommending high bail.”

 

“Fine, bail is set in the amount of 5 million dollars, cash and the defendant will surrender his passport and will not be allowed to be around computers of any kind until his trial is over. This court is now in recess.”

 

<BANG>

 

The Marshall came over and led the teen to the holding area. Adam and I left the courtroom so we could continue with our day. On my way back, I called Bennie and had him get ready for a trip out. I had the security detail on standby so they could accompany us. My next call was to Blair House and I found where Yuri was staying.

 

When I stepped off the elevator Bennie was waiting for me. “Where are we going Ace?”

 

I took him by the hand and headed for the West Wing. After some carful thought, I decided to take the Hummer so it was a quick ride over to Blair House. I parked out front then Bennie and I entered. “Hello agent Mason.” The guard on the door said.

 

We walked through then out back. “Wow, I didn’t know these existed.” Bennie said as he looked around.

 

We went over to a building then knocked on the door. A few minutes later, the door opened and a blonde haired teen’s head appeared. “You must be Bennie.”

 

Bennie just stood there staring until I stepped into view. “Ace, you’re back.” The teen said smiling and wrapping me into a hug.

 

“Come on, let’s go inside.” I said so I could start to breathe.

 

“Who is this?” A man said holding a weapon.

 

“Papa, neyt, this is Agent Mason. He’s with the Secret Service.”

 

“That’s fine but no one comes in here.”

 

“Stop embarrassing me.”

 

At that point, I saw Ivan come up behind him and take control of the weapon. “Agent Mason, it’s nice to have you here. You must excuse Mikel.”

 

“Mikel, I meant no disrespect towards you.”

 

“Why is Federal Agent here? Are you like KGB?”

 

“Papa stop it now.” Yuri yelled. “I told you all about him and what he did for me.”

 

“Mind your mouth Yuri, you no talk to papa like that.”

 

“Why must you disrespect Agent Mason after all he did for me? You no want men who raped me to be punished?”

 

“Da da but you know Nakita never be punished.”

 

“Nyet. Agent Mason get evidence to prove he did it.”

 

“Excuse me for a moment,” I said as I stood up and stepped outside.

 

I called the lab and talked to Dizzy. “Ace, Ace it’s good you’re back. The DNA results just came in.”

 

“Alright now, give me the results.” I said trying to calm Dizzy down.

 

“Well, the markers all point to the sample we got from the secretary.”

 

“So he raped Yuri.” I said.

 

“On the surface it looks that way but there are some familiar markers in the sample taken from Yuri.”

 

“English Dizzy, please.”

 

“Well, what it means is that a relative of the secretary did the deed.”

 

“So we have a whole lot of nothing.” I shot out.

 

“Not really Ace. We know the rapist is a relative of the secretary.”

 

I was at a loss here. Why wouldn’t Yuri tell me the real culprit? “Thanks Dizzy. I’ll get back with you.”

 

I ended the call then went back inside. “Might I have a word in private with Yuri?”

 

Yuri got up and came over to me. “Sure Ace, what you need to talk to me about?”

 

I reached down and took Yuri by the hand and we stepped outside. I didn’t know how to bring this up without him exploding. I saw some chairs so I led him over so we could sit down. “Please listen carefully to what I have to say son.”

 

“Alright Ace, go on.”

 

“We have the results of the DNA testing.”

 

“Good then Nakita go to jail now.”

 

“Well, not so fast.”

 

“What this not so fast?” Yuri said starting to get animated.

 

“The person who raped you is a relative of Nakita.”

 

“What, how can this be? Yuri tell you who did it.”

 

I gently rubbed his head. “Son, I think you’re really scared of the person who actually raped you, so I think you might be trying to protect yourself.”

 

“Nyet, Yuri no protect me. Nakita raped me.”

 

I was about to speak when the door opened and Ivan came out. He saw Yuri was upset so he went over to him. “What is going on Ace?” Ivan asked.

 

“Ivan, the DNA results are in but they’re not what we expected.”

 

“Who raped Yuri then?”

 

“Well it seems Nakita didn’t but a relative of his did.”

 

I watched Ivan closely and he started doing a slow boil. He reached into his belt and took out his pistol. “Ivan, what are you doing?”

 

“I’ll get the bastard.”

 

Yuri stood and looked at Ivan. “Nyet Ivan.”

 

“I know who did it. Why you not tell Ace?”

 

“I told him.”

 

“Don’t protect him.”

 

“I protect no one.” Yuri insisted.

 

“You do. You protect Demetri Koloff.”

 

“NO Ivan, I not protect him.”

 

“Stop it Yuri. I know the truth.”

 

“What you know?”

 

“Demetri and Nakita are related. Nakita is Demetri’s nephew.”

 

“What you talk about?”

 

“You don’t know this. Very few people do. Demetri got Nakita job as his secretary.”

 

Now I’m really screwed. This would start an international incident that made the Bay of Pigs look like a mild turf war.”

 

Things were really getting heated out there as several agents came up to see what the yelling was about. All of a sudden a voice boomed, “What’s going on out here?”

 

Yuri froze. “Nothing papa.”

 

“Tell him the truth Yuri.”

 

Mikel came over. “Tell me what son?”

 

Mikel wrapped his arm around his son and held him. “What is it?”

 

Yuri buried his face into the big man’s stomach. “It’s nothing papa.”

 

“It must be something for all this yelling.”

 

Ivan took the bull by the horns and stepped up. “Mikel, the truth is now known as to who hurt Yuri.”

 

“Oh, who hurt you Yuri?”

 

“I tell you already papa, Nakita did it.”

 

Ivan took hold of Yuri’s arm and turned him around. “You know the truth Yuri.”

 

“I tell the truth.”

 

“No you don’t now I will.”

 

“Alright Ivan, tell me who hurt Yuri.” Mikel asked.

 

“Demetri Koloff did.”

 

Mikel stepped back. “Yuri, why you not tell me this?”

 

“He not do it.”

 

“The DNA says otherwise.” Ivan interrupted. “The DNA shows the person who did it is related to Nakita.”

 

“Da, I know Demetri and Nakita are uncle and nephew.”

 

“That’s right Sir,” I said. “Now how can he be brought to justice?”

 

Mikel sat down and started thinking. “My brother might be willing to call him home.”

 

“But wouldn’t that just be his ticket to freedom?”

 

“Not when the diplomats get wind of it. An ambassador accused of rape is a serious crime and the person will be punished severely. Twenty years in Siberian prison. Rapists are treated harshly by the other prisoners. They would have to be put in isolation for their own protection.”

 

‘Maybe Russian justice is fair after all.’ I thought.

 

“OK, so how do we go about getting him arrested?”

 

“I will have to call my brother but he is still angry with me.”

 

“Why, what did you do Sir?” Bennie asked.

 

“I sold my businesses and took my money with me to the USA.”

 

“What kind of work did you do?”

 

“Manufactured computers.”

 

“Cool, I’m going to study computers in college.”

 

“Study hard son. Is that a wedding ring on your finger?”

 

“Yes sir,” Bennie said smiling.

 

“Your father let you take a wife at your age?”

 

“Well, in a sense he did. I don’t have a wife, I have Ace.”

 

“Really?” Mikel said in amazement.

 

“Yes Sir, it’s legal here. I don’t understand your country’s view on antigay propaganda. “Gays don’t go out to try to turn kids gay.” Bennie said.

 

“Try telling that to my brother.”

 

“What do you think about people being gay?” Bennie asked.

 

“I don’t understand it but I accept those who are, even my son.”

 

“Papa,” Yuri gasped.

 

Mikel rubbed Yuri’s blonde hair. “Son, I know you and Ivan love each other and he treats you well so I will not say anything against him.”

 

Yuri jumped into Ivan’s arms and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you papa. I’m sorry I didn’t tell the whole truth. Demetri raped me. He said he’d have me sent to Siberia if I ever told.”

 

“I’ll kill him.”

 

About that time, another voice was heard. “Yuri you dare violate our law?”

 

Yuri dropped down to his feet and Ivan spun around. “You violate our law your swine.”

 

“Watch your tongue comrade.”

 

Ivan spun around and decked the man planting him on his ass. “Get up you bastard. GET UP!”

 

The agents started to come over but I held my hand up. “Stay back.”

 

“Agent Mason, I have to arrest him.”

 

“No”, Yuri yelled. “That bastard raped me.”

 

“Yuri, now you accuse me. First it was Nakita now it’s me.”

 

I walked over to the ambassador. “We have the DNA back Mr. Ambassador and it shows that a relative of Nakita raped Yuri.”

 

The ambassador started shaking. “But I not rape him.”

 

Yuri snatched the man up by his tie. “Then give a DNA sample so it will prove your innocence.”

 

“So the Americans can get it to say anything they want?”

 

“What do you have to fear?” Yuri yelled.

 

“Nothing, I not rape you.”

 

Yuri backhanded him across the mouth. “LIAR.”

 

I was standing beside Ivan when I saw him reach inside for his weapon. I quickly removed it from him. “No Ivan, I can’t let you shoot him.”

 

I looked at the ambassador. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

 

He wiped his mouth then spit some blood onto the ground and fixed his tie. “What do I have to say for myself? Yuri, you lie with men and break Russian law. So I show you what it’s really like to have a real man.”

 

Ivan was faster than I was and let ambassador have it again right in the mouth. “Rape my Yuri will you? I’ll see to it you die in Russian prison.”

 

I went over to the fallen man and he was out cold. Mikel pulled me back. “Let him lay there. He’ll wake up eventually.”

 

I looked at my watch and it was almost 5 so Bennie and I had to get back to the residence. “Mikel, I have to return to the residence. Yuri, we’ll see you again. Ivan, please don’t take the law into your own hands.”

 

I shook everyone’s hand and got a hug from Yuri and Ivan. “Take care and be safe Ace.” Yuri said then he kissed me on the cheek.
