Subject: MEGA LOTTERY CHAPTER17 / BEGINNINGS

If you are not 18 and are offended by male to male sex leave now.

Two young men both 18 years old are working their way down the road, both
are exhausted and holding each other for support. Noah is 6ft. tall has
long black hair very blue eyes ice blue and a hugh build from years of hard
work.  Ben is 5ft.8 inches has flaming red hair green eyes and also has a
great build from the years of hard work.  Both have been walking for days,
because of their large size everyone had just been passing them by.  They
both have tripped and falling for the last several hours and are just plain
exhausted. They hear a car coming and turn around to try to get a ride. It
is a young man in a pickup he sees them and swerves right at them and they
jump out of the way and land in a ditch.  Ben has hit his head and is
bleeding.  Noah takes his shirt off and uses it to clean Ben's head and
then wraps it tight around it to stop the bleeding.  Noah is almost crazy
with anger and has no idea that to do to help his buddy Ben.  Noah does
manage to get him out of the ditch and back on the road edge and his
holding him in his lap.  His arms tight around his chest and telling him
not to worry; He says God has not forgotten us, he is just testing us Ben
it will be alright just you wait and see.

The two of them are sitting on the shoulder of the road with their backs to
the oncoming traffic as a silver van approaches them and slows down and
finally stops.  The driver and three passengers get out and walk over to
see if they can help.  Tommy the driver knees and puts his hand on Noah's
shoulder and asks if he can be of any help to them and looks over Noah's
shoulder and see the blood on Bens head.  He turns to Hank and says get
help now one of them is hurt and it looks bad. The two young boys Cody and
Greg ask if they can help.  Hank has called home base and tells Tommy that
one of the helicopters was at the base and was airborne to their location
and the pilot was trained as a EMT and would be here in just 5 minutes.

Cody and Greg had already gotten blankets out of the rear of the van and
had put them on the ground by Ben and had helped Tommy get Ben laying down
and covered him with more blankets and had put even more around Noah and
were holding him as he was shaking and crying, they just held him and told
him help was on the way.  When the helicopter landing in the road and the
pilot got out and ran to Ben the noise had helped Noah come to his
senses. He asked who they were and how did they get help so fast.  Tommy
told him it was all going to be alright and not to worry.  After the pilot
had checked Ben out he informed them all he needed help to get him loaded
into the copter and taking to base to get medical attention.  Hank, Tommy,
Cody and Greg helped get Ben loaded and in the copter.  Tommy want with the
pilot to assist him on the way to the base and Hank the two Boys and Noah
got in the van and also went to the base.

Noah sort of freaked out when they got the front gate and asked what kind
of an institution it was.  Cody and Grey smiled and hugged him again and
told him it was their home and every thing was going to be alright and not
to worry.  They got their about 20 minutes after the copter.  Hank drove
right the temporary medial center in the security building.  Hank opened
the doors and the three of them got out and the boys took Noah right inside
and into the room with Ben.  When Noah saw Ben lying on the table his head
still covered in blood he sank to the floor.  Hank helped him into a chair
and the two boys hugged him and said don't worry Hank will make sure every
thing is going to be alright you just wait and see.

Thirty minutes later the pilot came over to Noah and told him Ben was going
to be OK that he had hit his head on a rock and had a pretty good cut on
his head and head wounds bleed quite a bit, but he had stitched it up and
the bleeding was stopped.  He also told Noah that him and Ben needed to get
a shower and get the mud and dirty water off themselves and into some dry
clothes.  Noah told him all they had was what they had on and Hank said
don't worry we can get you some clothes to fit and turned to the boys and
said that is your job go find them some that will fit.  It looks like Noah
is about my size and Ben is John's size go get them some of our stuff.  The
two boys turned to Noah and asked if he was going to be alright while they
were gone he told them he would be fine and hugged them and gave them each
a kiss on the cheek and thanked them for all their help and told them he
could not have be able to get through it with out them and off they ran.

Hank and Noah get Ben into the shower and told Noah to be careful of the
bandages on Ben's head and went and got them each a clean bathrobe to put
on.  While he was gone he met Joe and John and informed them what had
happened.  When the three of them got back to the shower area both Ben and
Noah where sitting on chairs wrapped in towels, Hank handed them the robes
and introduced them to Joe and John.  Noah and Ben thanked them for all the
help and said they would be more than willing to work to repay them as they
had no money.  Joe, John and Hank all said don't' worry about that now we
can talk later.  Right now we need to get you two more comfortable and let
you rest a bit and get some food into both of you.  The boys arrived with
the clothes and Noah and Ben got dressed and the boys showed them to the
dinning room in the old lodge and sat them down and rushed into the kitchen
and told Tommy and Steve that they were ready to eat and ran back to the
dinning room.  Then they got back they found Noah and Ben sitting on one
side of the big table and Joe, John and Hank on the other side across from
Ben and Noah.  The two boys sat on either side of Ben and Noah both asking
if they were OK. They each got a big hug and were told yes we are fine
thanks for all your help.  Tommy and Steve entered with trays loaded with
bowls of soup and crackers and several different kinds of drinks.  Tommy
explained that the pilot had told them no solid food today for Ben and he
needed plenty of rest.  So when they were done eating they were to both go
to his and Steve's room and lie down and get some rest they explained that
it had a king sized and that way Noah could get the rest he needed and also
be close to Ben if he needed anything.  After Noah and Ben got settled in
to rest Alex and Brad from security went in to talk to them for a few
minutes. They found out about the guy that ran them off the road and the
reason that they had been walking for so long and a brief history of them
and told them not to worry about any thing and to just rest and relax and
they would take care of every thing for them.

Alex and Brad asked if they could meet with Joe, John and Hank shortly
after leaving Ben and Noah.  The meeting went quickly, Alex explained both
guys had just turned 18 a few days ago and had literally been kicked out of
the State controlled Foster Care center they had lived in for over ten
years.  They continued to explain that they had been used more as slave
labor than kids under State Care.  That they had been worked twelve to
fourteen hours a day seven days a week from the time they had been ten
years old and received no pay and beaten if they had complained.  Both of
their parents had been killed in accidents then they were very young and
had been moved from foster home to home till they ended out in the 'State
Care Center".

Joe, John and Hank looked at each other and finally Joe said well that is
going to stop, as of right now they are with us, not just working here but
I want them as part of the Family group, those guys need a break in their
lives.  Alex and Brad, I want you to get to work and contact everyone you
know and find out what the hell is going on in that Care Center and get
back to me as quick as possible.  This is just like John and Brian had to
go through when they were younger, and it is not right for young
defenseless kids to have to go through this shit.  I think I can speak for
all of us on this; I want that place closed and those kids placed with
someone who can care for them properly. Keep us posted very closely on this
guys it is important.

After Alex and Brad left the three of them sat around and talked to bring
each other up on what was going on around Falcon's Haven.  Joe told Hank he
did not have a god feeling about this Sate Care Center and wanted Hank to
get several sites ready for modular homes as quick as possible, place them
where we already have utilities already available we can always more them
later.  I just want to be ready in case of anything.  We will know more in
the morning after we have all talked to Ben and Noah.  John hugged Joe and
told him both Brain and I went through hell in a center and I love the fact
you are willing to help.

The next morning the three guys woke up and after the usual morning things
as shower shave etc. they stopped and checked on the two young men and
found them both still sleeping Ben was hugging Noah in his sleep.  They
left and went to the dinning room and after eating with the crew stayed and
talked about general things till Noah and Ben walked in.  As soon as they
hit the dinning room they were swamped by four young kids.  Cody and Greg
both hugged them and told them they had prayed for them last night and were
glad they were alright. They introduced Chip and Dale to them and they also
told them they had prayed for them and laughed and told them they had snuck
into the room with Greg and Cody to check on them several times to make
sure they were alright.  Hank told them that was not a nice thing to do.
But Noah and Ben just hugged all of them and thanked them for caring so
much.  Joe asked if they were hungry and got a very quick yes.  The four
kids ran into the kitchen and told Tommy and Steve that they had two hungry
men to feed right now and asked to help.  The food started to arrive at the
table in short order each of the four kids bringing more with each
trip. After the kids had cleaned the table Joe told them to go and help the
security guys for a while and when Noah and Ben were ready he would call
them and they could take them on a tour of the place.  After the kids had
left and they all settled down Joe asked them if they would mind telling
them all a little about them selves and how they ended up in the ditch on
the side of the road.

Both guys explained that both sets of parents had been killed in car
accidents and had drifted from foster homes till they were each eight years
old and then were put into a State funded Foster Care Center for boys and
were treated as slave labor 12 to 14 hours a day seven days a week except
when State inspectors came.  Mr. Purdy ran the Center and was a very mean
man and would beat any one who acted up and his three sons were just as bad
if not worse as they also forced all of them to do sex acts with them.  Joe
asked them how many boys lived at this Center and was told twenty was the
max. allowed by the State.  They also explained the county Sheriff was a
brother to Mr. Purdy and if any of them ran away he just returned them so
no one really had any idea how they were treated.

Joe paged Alex and Brad and had them come into the dinning room.  He told
them what the boys had told them.  He asked Alex to contact their friend in
the State Police and the Judge that had helped with Chip and Dale.  Tell
them what we know and see if we can do any thing.  Explain I want that
place shut down as soon as possible and want all the kids in the Center
placed under our care as soon as possible.  Joe stood and rubbed his hands
together and said well I guess we had all get busy as I think Falcon's
Haven is going to happen a lot quicker than I thought.
