                               Chapter XIV

                            The Hanson Crisis


When he returned to school, Peter was closely questioned about where he had
been and why he had missed classes.

"A friend of the family took me to a religious convocation."  Peter was
becoming as adept at lying as he was at spilling his seed.  "It was about
creation.  This theologian from Yale, who had studied at Oxford in England,
explained how the first Chapter of Genesis exactly paralleled the
scientific explanation of creation, once you have removed the Biblical
imagery from the story."

"Humph," his interrogator barked.  "No need for that.  The Bible says
everything you need to know."

Peter agreed and then lied that his dad wanted him to attend another
convocation in the Spring.  In the meantime, having learned some of the
signs to look for at Libra, he perceived that a couple of other guys at
Four Square College were probably sexually liberal in the same way he had
become.  He discovered that he was right.

Tom and Jim continued to share each other's company in every possible way.
They both excelled at work and school, and Tom prepared for the Aries
Convocation.

At the Olympic Hotel Preston Brownlee had retired and was replaced by Boris
Hanson, a much younger and more energetic man.  Like Brownlee, he was
pleased by the prospect of the assured revenue the convocations promised,
but he was curious about what he Brothers of Aries and Libra really was.
His curiosity only became more intense as Tom made final arrangements for
the meeting.

The convocation was uneventful, that is nothing out of the ordinary
happened.  There were a couple of new prospects who were passed on.  Oscar
and Peter both became brothers.

Peter was a completely different person.  No hangups about being with
anybody or doing anything.  Wilson asked him if his Aries experience had
made that much difference in his attitude.  He admitted that he'd found
some Four Square upperclassmen who liked sex with guys as much as the
Brothers did.

Boris Hanson did spend an inordinate amount of time checking on things.  Of
course as manager of the hotel that was his right, even his job, but he did
become a nuisance.  Tom was sure it was just "new man on the job syndrome."

He found out otherwise, when he called to make arrangements for the Fall
meeting.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Parrish, but I have decided not to continue the
arrangement," Hanson told him.

"And why not?" a shocked Tom inquired.  "I checked before I left, and none
of the rooms were damaged and I'm sure you received timely payment.  Were
there complaints about any of the Brothers' behavior?"

"No complaints," Hanson answered, "but I find your behavior quite
objectionable.  Certainly improper for a first class hotel.  It is obvious
that your group engages in homosexual activity non-stop.  And those
bartenders that you require we hire—the ones who work bare
chested—they admitted to me that they are gay."

"So you discriminate against employees who are gay?  That is illegal in
your state, you know."

"No.  We don't discriminate, but we can choose to whom we rent our
facilities.  And I'm sorry to say that the penthouse is not available on
the dates you desire."

Tom immediately called Chester Burroughs, the Brothers' Counsellor.  He in
turn called Hanson and tried to reason with him.  He even hinted that legal
action was a possibility, although both men knew that there was no cause
for action.

Next Chester contacted the president of the company that owned the hotel.
He pointed out that the Brothers had met at the Olympic for many years and
that the arrangement had been ideal for the Brothers and quite profitable
for the company.  He suggested that if Mr. Hanson couldn't see the error of
his ways, he might be terminated.

Chester was told that Hanson had been given the same contract that Brownlee
had had.  After a probationary period, which had already ended, his
employment could be terminated only for cause or upon sale of the hotel.
Refusing to rent to someone was not sufficient cause.

"Of course," the president added in jest, "you could buy the hotel.  We
have considered selling it from time to time."

"We just might," Chester responded.

The problem facing the Brothers was not only the difficulty of finding a
new location on a six month notice, but finding a location with facilities
that met the group's needs.  In that respect the Olympic was ideal.

Chester and Tom decided to approach Craig Pirie about buying the Olympic.



They traveled to New York to meet Mr. Pirie.  He welcomed them fondly, but
when he learned of their mission, he became all business.

"Is the hotel profitable?" he wanted to know.

"Yes, I was told it is," Chester replied.  "Obviously not greatly so, or
they wouldn't have thought about selling it."

"Well, Pirie Industries is not anxious to get into the hotel business.  But
I would consider buying the Olympic and selling it back to you Brothers, if
there is a reasonable expectation that you could in fact pay for it."

"We had thought of that possibility," Chester said.  "We could apply the
entire profit of the enterprise to repaying your investment with interest.
The 501 (c) (3) can continue to sustain itself from Brothers'
contributions."

"I know a professor at the Cornell School of Hotel Administration,"
Mr. Pirie volunteered.  "I'd be willing to retain him to look at the
situation and make recommendations."

The two Brothers were sufficiently elated by Mr. Pirie's response that they
delayed their departure a day.  They spent the night in Manhattan, not
seeing a play or a concert but enjoying each other's bodies.



The president of the company that owned the Olympic was really surprised to
be contacted by the consultant from Cornell but was more than happy to
cooperate with his investigation.  The financials showed that the Olympic
made an adequate profit, though not as much as the company felt it could
make in another venture.  The consultant looked at the property and the
potential for the site.  He concluded that the area was being gentrified,
that a marquee property in a respectable, properly refurbished old building
could be spectacularly successful, and that the renovation could be
accomplished while the hotel continued to operate.

Craig Pirie fully explored the possibilities with the consultant.  The
consultant recommended that the penthouse be returned to use as an
exclusive night club.  Craig nixed that idea.  "I think it could serve as a
place for banquets and balls," he said, "a smaller version of the Starlight
Roof at the Waldorf Astoria.  You know, it was originally a night club
too."  He knew that the Brothers would certainly not allow the penthouse to
become a public venue.  But he thought rental for private parties should be
encouraged.  At present, except by the Brothers it was mostly unused.

Another of the consultant's many suggestions was a name change.  "You will
need to emphasize that the hotel is new and different," he counseled.  "I
would suggest something like `Olympia Plaza' to suggest a remnant of the
old, while emphasizing change."

Mr. Pirie again met with Tom and Chester.  He showed them the consultant's
final proposal.  The present owners had agreed to accept an offer which the
consultant considered fair.  The suggested renovations would cost an
additional $8 million.  Craig told them that the Piries would be willing to
advance the full amount to the Brothers, the loan to be secured by the
hotel itself.  All after-tax profits from operations, however, would have
to be used to repay the loan at the then current LIBOR interest rate.  The
hotel would continue to bill the Brothers its regular charges for their use
of hotel facilities.

Chester said that the offer was most generous, but he felt that the
Brothers should vote on whether to undertake such a venture.  Since the
hotel would be a for-profit undertaking, he felt that a new corporation
would have to be formed.  Each brother would receive a share in exchange
for a nominal investment.

Tom agreed, and suggested that a vote be taken by email, since a
convocation could not be held before the deal would have to be consummated.

Mr. Pirie raised the question of how the hotel would be managed.  He noted
that young Jim Sessions would receive his master's from the McCormick
School in the Spring.  "I believe that Preston Brownlee could be enticed to
return as manager, if he had a strong assistant like Jim to train.  When he
felt Jim could handle the job, he could retire again."

The two brothers felt that was a wonderful idea.



Tom devised an email that romanced the project to the Brothers.  Almost all
of them were sold.  He was a PR man after all.  He also presented the
management idea to Jim, who heartily embraced it.  Craig Pirie and Chester
got Brownlee to agree to the plan, and within a month Olympia Plaza,
Inc. was chartered, architects and interior designers were hired, and the
purchase was made.

One requirement made of the previous owner had been that Boris Hanson know
nothing about what was going on.  So Hanson was astonished when Chester,
Tom, and Preston Brownlee showed up in his office on the morning of July 1.

"Mr. Hanson," Chester began, "we are here to advise you that as of this
date you are fired.  Mr. Brownlee here will return as General Manager.  You
will please vacate the premises by noon."

"What do you mean `I am fired'?" Hanson sputtered.  "I can only be fired
for cause, and you are hardly in a position to fire me anyway!"

"Your contract stipulates that you may be fired for cause and should the
hotel be sold.  As of midnight last night ownership passed to Olympia
Plaza, Inc., of which I am President and Chief Executive Officer."  Chester
laid a copy of the Bill of Sale on Hanson's desk.

"So you are not only queers," Hanson spat, "you are rich queers."



The hotel's accountant and all the other staff were delighted to see
Preston Brownlee return.  Hanson's management style had not been popular.
When Tom and Chester asked for a room for the night, the desk clerk assumed
that it would be comped.  "No," they said, "officers and stockholders of
the new company will be charged like everyone else."

Tom made the usual arrangements with Brownlee for the Libra Convocation
before he and Chester made their way to their twelfth floor room.  Once
there they stripped and celebrated by sixty-nining until dinner time.  They
would see which of them could edge the other closer to orgasm without going
over the edge.  Finally they rewarded each other with delicious spurts of
creamy cum.

They dined in the hotel's restaurant, figuring that they should contribute
to retiring the debt the Brothers now all shared.  They got superior
service, since even the lowliest employee now knew who they were.

Back in their room they fucked until both were exhausted.
