The Pilot III

Shane and Robert's Life

Chapter 11

Jake hung up the phone just as there a knock on the door. Billy got up and
said, "I'll get it."

He opened the door and was greeted with "Hi Dad."

"James!" Billy shouted.

John and Joey went running to the door as he stepped inside. Joey launched
himself at his big brother as John wrapped his arms around him hugging him
tightly. They all had him in a tight bear hug. James was trying to breathe
and he gasped saying, "I still need to breathe guys."

Billy let go then said, "Oh, sorry son. We're just glad to see you."

James set Joey on his feet as Billy closed the door. Jake was standing there
wondering what was going on. Everyone turned to come inside when John saw
Jake. John walked over to him extending out his hand. Jake took John's hand
as he led him over to James and said, "Son, this is Jake. He's our new
foster son. Jake, this is our oldest son James."

James reached out his arms and said, "Well it looks like I have another
little brother. It's great to meet you."

Jake cautiously walked over as James pulled him into a warm hug. Jake felt
safe and secure in the older boy's arms and relaxed then returned the hug.
"I've never had an older brother before. It's nice to meet you too. We're
you caught out in the storm too?"

James didn't know what he meant by that so he said, "No Jake, I've been at
school in Gainesville."

Jake suddenly got worried as he thought they sent him away. He pulled back
and looked at John and Billy then ran down the hall to his bedroom. "What's
wrong with him Dad?" James asked.

Both men had questioning looks on their faces as they tried to figure out
what suddenly came over Jake. "I don't know son," Billy said. "He's been
through a lot and we'll explain it to you later. But right now we need to
find out what's wrong with him."

James scratched his head then said, "Let me go and talk with him. This all
happened when I was talking with him so maybe it was something I said."

"Alright son," John said. "Go see what you can find out."

James walked down the hall and tried the door knob. It was unlocked so he
slowly opened the door and saw Jake on his bed crying. He walked in and
gently sat down beside him and asked, "What's wrong little brother? Did I
say something to upset you?"

Jake shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't uh why?"

James was confused. "Why what Jake," he asked as he rubbed Jake's back.

"Why did they send you away to school?" Jake asked still crying. "What did
you do?"

"They sent me there because that's where I wanted to go," James said.

Jake rolled over and said, "You wanted to go?"

"Yeah," James said smiling. "That's where I wanted to go to college."

"College?" Jake sputtered.

"Un huh," James said. "I go to Florida State University."

"Oh," Jake said shyly realizing he got upset over nothing.

"What did you mean when you asked, what did I do, when I said I went to
school there?" James asked.

Jake clammed up then figured he would find out anyway so he said, "My
parents put me out right before the hurricane came."

When James heard this he started crying as he pulled Jake into his arms. "Oh
my god little brother, I'm so sorry. Why would anyone do that?"

Jake figured that James knew his Dads were gay so he said, "Because a friend
and I were sucking each other."

"That's no reason to put someone out of their house right before a major
storm," James said. "Jake, are you gay?"

He looked down and said, "Yeah."

James lifted his head and said, "I guess you know our Dads are gay and that
doesn't bother me in the least. I was adopted when I was 6 and it was always
great having two Dads. It blew a lot of kids' minds. Just so you know, I'm
straight but I'll always protect you if anyone ever tries to hurt my little
brother. Now let's go talk with the others. They were trying to figure out
why you got so upset."

The two teens got up and went into the living room as Billy ran over and
said, "Are you alright Jake?"

He sniffed and said, "Yeah, I'm alright. I didn't know James was in college.
This is going to sound silly but I thought you put him out."

"Oh son," Billy said as James touched his arm.

James hugged Jake and said, "It's OK Dad. We had a nice talk and
everything's cool."

Jake looked up and said, "What's for lunch, I'm hungry."

James laughed and said, "Now he's my brother. Always hungry, just like
Joey."

Everyone went into the kitchen and talked while John heated up some beef
stew. "We need to see if there are some stores open. We need to get some
food in here because we lost everything in the fridge."

Joey looked up and said, "Daddy, do you think Buck might have some extra?"

"I don't know," Billy started saying.

"Oh wow," James said. "I so wanna see the look on his face when he sees me.
"How is grampa?"

"He's doing fine," John said. "Shane and Robert have twins they're
fostering."

"Twins?" James asked.

"Yeah," Billy said. "Their parents died after being in a bad accident."

"Ah man," James said. "That sucks."

Everyone ate lunch then got in the van and went over to my house. I heard a
knock on the door and wondered why John and Billy just didn't come in. I
opened the door and James was standing there. "Oh my God," I said smiling as
I pulled him to me in a hug. "Dad look who's here."

Billy and the rest them came out as Dad saw James. "Well don't just stand
there Buck," Dad said walking towards him. "When did you get home?"

They met in the living room and hugged. James kissed him on the cheek and
said, "I got in about 2 hours ago. You know, you really need to keep your
answering machine on."

"I know," Dad said. "It's new and I didn't know it wouldn't come back on
after the power came back on."

I looked at John and asked, "Did you come to get your things or to just
surprise us with James?"

"Actually there was another reason too," John said. "Do you think you can
spare some meats and milk until we can get to the store? We lost everything
we had. I'm glad we had some canned goods but we're almost out of them too."

"Sure son," Dad said. "You know we stocked up on things when we knew you
guys would be staying. I didn't expect power to be back on so quickly and I
was worried that some of the milk we got would have to be tossed because it
went bad before we could use it."

We sat and had a nice visit as the teens went upstairs and played video
games. About 3, Billy and John packed up their things while Dad and I made a
care package of groceries to send home with them.



Over at the police department Timothy and Maria were being booked into the
Dade County jail. Timothy looked at the desk sergeant and asked, "What's the
bond?"

The sergeant looked at the charges and said, "No bond until you see the
judge."

"What," he screamed. "When will that be?"

"Not sure," the sergeant said. "It will be sometime in the next 72 hours
though."

"That's bullshit," Mr. Curtis said.

The sergeant took him into a room and said, "Strip."

Timothy Curtis glared at the cop but did as he was told. When he was told to
turn around and spread his cheeks he just stood there at first but when the
cop took a step towards him he quickly complied. He was then told to get
dressed then he was photographed and fingerprinted. When that was done he
was led to a holding cell. The police sergeant asked, "Is there someone you
want to call?"

He thought for a minute then said, "No I don't,"

The officer closed the door and said, "Suit yourself."

A female officer took Maria into a room and had her undress and re-dress,
then processed her into the jail. She didn't know of anyone to call so she
just had a seat.

Things started getting back to normal pretty quickly and two days after
their arrest, Timothy and Maria Curtis made their first appearance in front
of a judge. The first to appear was Timothy Curtis. The judge read the
charge and asked, "How do you please sir?"

"Not guilty judge," he said.

He looked at the prosecutor and said, "What is the state's recommendation on
bail?"

The woman said, "You Honor, this is a particularly heinous crime because
this happened right before the arrival of this hurricane. They put their
teenaged son out of the house and then denied they had a child. We feel that
if they can deny being parents, they pose a significant flight risk.
Therefore, the state is requesting that this defendant be remanded without
bond."

His court appointed lawyer said, "Your Honor, Mr. Curtis does not have a
child and is egger to have his day in court to clear his name. He works to
support his wife and has strong ties to the community."

The judge looked at the charges again and said, "I'm glad the man wishes to
have his day in court. He'll remain there until he does. Bond is denied."

Maria Curtis was the next to appear before the judge. The ADA made her
statement and her lawyer pleaded that she get bond. The judge was appalled
that a mother would do nothing to try to aid her child and denied her bond
also.



School was to open the next day when Mrs. Walden came by the house without
calling. Dad let her in and said, "What brings you out today?"

She smiled and said, "I have good news for the boys. I have permanent homes
for the boys?"

I heard what she said then said, "Did you say homes?"

"Yes," she said smiling. "Isn't that good news?"

I started getting mad when Dad said, "You mean to tell me you're going to
separate twins?"

"It's the best I could do on such short notice," she said.

"Short notice?" Robert said. "They don't have to leave. Our friends have
their power back and we have more than adequate room."

"Did you clear this with the director?" I asked.

"She was in the field," she said.

I picked up the phone and said, "Well, we'll see about this."

Linda answered her cell phone and I said, "Linda, what is going on? Mrs.
Walden is here and she says she's found permanent foster homes for the
twins. Why would you separate them and we didn't ask for them to be moved."

"Ah err," she said stuttering. "I was on my way over to see John and Billy
but I can stop at your place first. I'll be there in a couple of minutes."

"Thanks," I said and hung up the phone.

I wasn't going to tell her Linda was coming here. She looked at me and
asked, "Where are the boys? I have a long drive ahead of me."

`Long drive?' I thought. `Where in the hell was she going with them?'

"Where are they going?" Robert asked.

"Orlando," she said. "I think they will be happy there. Both homes are near
Disney World."

I was about to explode when the doorbell rang. Dad opened it and there was
Linda just in time before I said something I knew I would be sorry for. She
looked at the woman standing there and said, "Sara, what is going on?"

"I found permanent foster homes for the twins," Mrs. Walden said.

"And when did you do this?" Linda asked.

"I was working on it at home," she started. "I went to talk with you about
it this morning but you were out of the office."

"What is the policy regarding the transfers of children?" Linda asked.

"They must be approved by the director," she said. "But there just wasn't
time. I had a long drive in order to get them there and see my other cases."

I was chomping at the bit to say something but Robert beat me to it. "She's
taking them to Orlando and splitting them up," Robert said sounding like he
did when he was little.

"ORLANDO?" Linda snapped at her. "Have you lost your mind? You know full
well that all transfers out of the county must be cleared with me prior to
you seeking homes. Why did you go behind my back?"

"I just didn't like the fact that Mr. Wright was one boy's foster parent and
Mr. Taylor was the others," she said.

"Didn't I sign off on both cases?" Linda asked.

"Well yes you did," she said.

"How many cases are you handling?" Linda asked.

"I have 25 active cases," she said.

"Not any more," Linda said. "You are hereby suspended pending a full
investigation. You have overstepped your boundaries plus you could have
opened this department up to a huge lawsuit."

"I was just trying to be helpful," she said in a huffy voice.

"You also know our policy about splitting up children," Linda said. "We only
do that as a very last resort and we never split up twins. Where are the
twins?"

"Over at Billy and John's," I said. They're playing with Jake and Joey.

"Oh OK," Linda said. "I'm glad they weren't here to witness this little
fiasco."

"While you're here," Robert said. "Shane and I want to get the twins
enrolled at Castle Prep."

"I don't have a problem with that Robert," Linda said. "But you know we
don't pay for private school."

"We know," my baby said. "Are there any forms we need to fill out? Also,
we're going to need to get their school records."

"The best I can do is have them there sometime tomorrow," Linda said.

"That will work," Robert said. I'll talk with the headmaster and see if
he'll enroll them pending their records when I explain everything to him."

Linda thought for a minute and said, "If there is a problem Robert, have him
call me and I'll talk with him."

"Great Linda," Robert said smiling. "See Mrs. Walden, all we want is the
very best for the boys." He pointed to Dad and said, "This man here was my
foster father and paid for me to go to Castle Prep and now I teach there. I
don't know why you suddenly got your nose out of joint."

"It's just odd that there isn't at least one female in this house?" She
snipped.

"Oh," I said. "It's alright with you if we have some broads shacked up here
with two teens?"

"I didn't say that," Mrs. Walden said.

"Then just what are you saying?" Robert asked.

"Why," she started then Linda interrupted her.

"Sara," Linda said. "I was the case worker that placed Robert with Buck. I
did the background investigation on him when he applied for his license
here. He was a foster parent in California where he fostered Shane then
later adopted him. He had glowing reports from everyone I spoke with and the
Director gladly approved his license. Now Shane and Robert are foster
parents. You know damn good and well that we don't have nearly enough
qualified homes and you're going to remove children from one of our better
homes?"

"In all my years I've never seen a home with 3 males in it who are all
foster parents," she said trying to defend herself.

"It's not your place to question a licensed home unless there is a valid
reason," Linda started saying. "And when you have questions or concerns it's
you job to report them to the director. Have you done that?"

She just shook her head no and picked up her briefcase to leave. Linda
stopped her and said, "I want all your files, now," Linda said.

She opened her briefcase and handed her five folders. "That's all I have
with me," she said.

"You aren't allowed back in the office unless I'm there," Linda said. "Do I
make myself clear?"

Mrs. Walden left the house and I said, "I'm so glad you were close by. I was
about to really go off on her."

"I'm just glad the twins weren't here," Linda said.

"Me too," Robert said. "Linda I have a question for you."

"Sure Robert," she said.

"Well," he started. "Shane and I were thinking of adopting the twins. The
boys' only living relative are their grandparents and they say they are in
their 80's."

"I would check out their grandparents to verify their age and if they are in
fact their only relatives, then I would agree to put them up for adoption,"
she said. "Then you would have to file a petition with the juvenile court.
Then we would have to do a home study, have you and the boys see a
psychologist then have them seen by a doctor. If all that comes back like
I'm sure it will, I will go ahead and give my approval. Once all that is
done, the court will more than likely grant the adoption."

"Wow," Robert said. "How long will all that take?"

"Once they are cleared for adoption the process moves pretty quick," Linda
said. "It could take several months for me to make sure they don't have
other relatives. That is one thing we just can't take their word for."

Dad looked at her and said, "I remember all that. It was easier with Shane
because his parents and grandparents lived in the same community. I have a
question Linda. What do we have to do about their parent's estate, if there
is one? We also need to see how to get their bodies so they can be buried."

Linda thought for a minute and said, "I think you should talk with the boys
and see if they had any life insurance and if the house was theirs. Shane
and Robert will have to talk with the hospital and they can have their
bodies sent to the funeral home of your choice."

Just then the twins came in followed by John, Billy and his crew. Poor Linda
almost got bowled over by a heard of teens. Jake looked at her and said,
"Hey Linda, what are you doing here?"

She didn't let on the real reason for her visit so she said, "I needed to
talk with Shane and Robert about a couple of things then Buck had a couple
of questions for me. I was just about to come over to see one of my handsome
charges."
