Among the Stars

Chapter 20

Billy

The Kane's, Em and me sat watched the news. There were reporters at the
gate. Em was in tears. I gots to admit I was close to bawling myself. I
looked over to the older butler he had tears on his face. "We gotta be
there." I said to no one in particular.

Ten minutes later Mr. Kane was tellin Em and me to get bags packed we was
goin ta Gibraltar. Em went up and packed our suit cases she told me to put
on the suit Jason and Co0dy got me. Em changed into the pretty black dress
that was made for her. Since moving here we really came up.

Jason treated us real good. He said we were family and we deserved to be
treated like it so he bought us lots of nice clothes along with brad new
Dodge ram. It was loaded with great stuff. I still liked to drive the Old
Packard. I don't know why but I loved the older cars. I took good care of
them. They were like children to me.

We carried our bags down stairs. They were loaded up into a big silver
limousine. We were off the airport. When we got there we were escorted to a
waiting little jet. Our bags were loaded up and we were on our way. I
wasn't really think about the fact that I was gonna be in a foreign country
not alone flying across the ocean. My mind was on my brothers.

I always thought of Cody and the twins as my brothers, I now ad Jason to
that list. I was an orphan and no idea if I had any. They always treated me
with respect. Even though I knew they thought I was dumb. I admit in book
learning I am stupid but I knew a lot of other stuff.






Christof


It had been three days since the accident. Jason had some serious wounds. A
few broken ribs. I punched lung. Other than that and a concussion and cuts
on his head there was no other damage. Charles and Carmella had left two
days ago but kept in touch. Harry stayed behind. I could see he had grown
attached to these two guys.

Harry had a big heart. He was a joker and happy go lucky bloke as they
say. The truth is Harry felt deeply about family. He was staying at the
house with Cody's brothers and my grandchildren. Tony was there also but he
was pretty much confined to bed, the young boy Jordon was also there with
them.

Jordon was the hero of the day. His heroic efforts in getting them out of
the auto was well recorded and retold. He was idolizing Prince Harry and I
think Harry was doing the same in return. The twins though were a different
story. They had taken over the twins. They were mom, dad and nurse made.

Cody was doing well. He had several broken ribs, dislocated shoulder and a
piece of metal that was lodged in his side. There was no internal organ
damage. The hard thing was to keep the man in bed. I appreciated that. He
wanted to be near Jason. There was no doubt how much he loved my son. I
will defend that to the day I die about how much Cody loves Jason.

 I had them move Cody to Jason's room. The hard part was to keep Cody in
bed. Harry and I had decided to take turns along with the twins on staying
in the room. We had to of Cody would hurt himself to be near Jason. He
would cry and plead I moved his bed closer so he could touch his husbands
hand. That seemed to calm him down.

A young marine came into the room and motioned for me. I followed him out
into the hallway after making Cody promise to stay in bed. "Your highness,
there seems to a gentleman and lady down stairs that say they are
related. A Mr. and Mrs. William Crudle."

"Let them through." I said and went back into the room. The security now at
the Royal naval hospital was un believable. Three nations are providing
security with United Kingdom's authorization. The president had sent four
secret serve. The royal navy and marines and Queen Margret II sent some
security too. I was surprise that the Crudle's made it close to the gate.

I walked back into the room and Cody was laying in Jason's bed. He was
asleep. I smiled. I didn't want to make him get into his own bed. "I know
get back in my bed." He said as he moved. I helped him get of the bed and
into his own.

"I just needed to hold him." He said as he closed his eyes. He was sound
asleep in a matter of seconds. It was the first time he actually slept. He
would doze but never sleep. I knew he was asleep because I heard the soft
snores. I smiled to myself. That's all the boy needed was to hold his love.

I sat back in the chair. I heard the door open and Billy and Emily walked
in. I knew Billy was smarted than he portrayed. Anyone who could do what he
did with those cars was a genius. I had visited the house last month while
in the States. I saw what he was did with the old Willy's jeep. I had to
admit making the monstrosity of a vehicle look good was a miracle. Billy
was a happy man but the look on his face now was not the same one I have
ever seen.

I stood up and shook his hand. "Cody just fell asleep soundly for the first
time."

"Billy agreed to stay there for a while. I had the British marine corporal
Drive us to the house. They had booted out most paparazzi from the
Rock. Only BBC and CNN were permitted to stay with the agreement that they
stay away from the house. Once inside the house I walked over picked up a
grandchild. Luke the one holding Riley cried in Emily's arms.


 Duke


I know they all see me as the tough guy. The truth is Luke is the tough
one. Over the past few days I have been holding back. I held back crying
for Luke sake. He needed me to be strong but mostly I pulled from him. He
was calming me He was being logical. Telling Jason was going to be okay
because God had plans for him. Cody we knew was okay.  We took turns
keeping him in bed and staying in the room they shared.

 I was terrified when the accident happened. When the car blew up I pissed
myself.  No one noticed that. Yeah by the time my shorts dried I smelled
like piss but no one noticed that either. We were all checked out several
hours later at the hospital.


We all wanted to hear about Jason. He was hurt bad. After four hours in
surgery he was said to be in stable condition. Cody was too. He was beaten
up but It was his heart that was taking the beating. We told him that Riley
and JC were ok. Though shaken up. They were being cared for by prince
Charles and Lady Carmella. Harry was there two. I could see the relief when
he found out that both Cody and Jason were going to be okay. Though they
had put Jason into a drug induced coma so he heals better without the
discomfort. We took the kids home.

Several hours later Jason's dad Prince Christof along with Prince Harry
came into the house. we were told that Cody was being hard to handle. They
had given him sedatives to get him to sleep but it was fitful and he be
awake after only thirty minutes. They didn't want to give him more.

I knew my brother. It broke my heart. I knew how much he loved Jason. Jason
was his world as were the Riley and JC. I think he could take the loss of
one the kids better than he could Jason. We took turns sitting with Cody
after Christof had Cody moved to Jason's room. Cody was an emotional mess
it made me an emotional mess.

I watched as Emily held a crying Luke. I stared at them.  I went to pick up
JC to see he was being held by the kid Jordon from next door. The kid was a
hero to me. he was holding up better than me. considering he lost his
mother just like we lost our dad and mother. Though the latter was not as
heart breaking as losing my dad. Emily though, we were constantly at odds
because she kissed Moms ass.

I felt the tears starting to build up. I walked out to the pool. I stood
there.  I walked over toward the other side past the town house and looked
out over the cliffs at sea. I felt a hand on my shoulder I turned and saw
Harry standing there, I broke.

I bawled my eyes out as Prince Harry held me.  The tears just kept
coming. Over the past few days all I could think about was losing Cody and
Jason. I loved Billy but Emily I didn't know. I would try and be a man
around Billy and strong for Luke. I couldn't do it anymore. I was at the
end of what I could take. For some reason Harry was the one that I grabbed
onto to cry my heart out to.

He made a motion and he pulled me along with him. Behind us were to armed
British marines. We walked down to the light house. the whole time we
didn't say anything. We stood there and looked out over the Strait 0f
Gibraltar. It was dusk and the light house came to life.

I couldn't hold on any more. It caught up to me. I feel so weak crying like
that." I said.


"I have seen my mates cry at the loss of dog in Afghanistan. You're a
strong man. You have nothing to ashamed of." He said softly.



Cody

Jason had been in here almost a week. Jason was coming out of that drug
induced coma. I was released yesterday. I went home for a few hours spend
time with Riley and JC. JC clung to me. Riley though happy to see me was
happy to be held. Harry had spent the past five days with us at the
hospital and with the family at the house. Christof and I have grown
closer. He was my biggest advocate now with the media.  I was told he had
put out a statement which I was about to watch on YouTube.


On behalf of Jason and Cody, their family including myself and extended
family, I want to thank the media for giving us all the privacy we needed
to deal with this crisis. I also want to that the many people, dignitaries
and world leaders for their kind words and prayers. We also want to thank
tie Governor and the United Kingdom for all their support. Also a very
heartfelt thanks to all those who helped in getting Jason and Cody
Dawson-Chris to safety. The British and Danish Royal families. Also for
Tony Martinez for his devotion in the safety for the family as their Chief
of Security and friend.

Mostly though I want to thank Jordon McCormick. This young man is a true
hero. If not for his breaking the window and getting the people in the auto
to safety they would not be here today. This young man is a true hero.

There are many more that we are grateful too. If we have not mentioned, you
by name please let me make sure it is not by slight but only by the emotion
of the moment that you have not been thanked by name. Thank you.


I watched two more times. Christof was cool calm and collected when he
spoke. I knew though that he was anything but. He wasn't a man that enjoyed
being in the spot light. he was a private person. He loved his son
though. In the few months he Jason had to get to know each other they had
gotten close. I had gotten close to him over the past few days. I wiped
away a tear.

I had lost my Dad and mother. They waited until yesterday to tell me. I was
angry at first that held back that information. Harry calmed me down
telling me that I was still in recovery and they didn't want to do anything
to make it worse. I agreed eventually that they were probably right.

I went down and spent time with our kids. Riley seemed to be just wanting
attention. JC though just kept touching my face. They both just turned
seven months. Though JC was a day younger. He just looked at me and smiled
and babbled "Da, da, da." While he patted my face. He had a serious look on
his own face.


"Bro, he 's tryin to call you dada. He knows your sad." Duke said to me. i8
looked at JC. His eyes were bright golden brown.

"Dada." and pats on my face.


I gave the little guy a hug and kiss. Riley objected. And wanted her
kiss. I laughed and gave her one.



Jason


My mind was in a fog. I remembered the accident. I remembered looking at
the kids and seeing them safe. I then remembered smelling gas. I fought to
open my eyes. They finally opened I looked around until I saw Cody. I tried
to say the kids but it came out in a croak.

"Everyone made out babe. Everyone's safe." He said as he held my hand and
caressed my cheek. I think I smiled before I could no longer keep my eyes
open.


Cody

Jason was released last week we spent another week in Gibraltar. He took
the deaths hard. He knew he wasn't to blame but I think he took a lot of
them on himself. I looked over at him as the plane crossed the ocean. The
747 could hold thirty people comfortably in the way it was set up. We had
eighteen people not including the crew and attendants.

Besides Jason and myself we had the twins and our kids. There was Billy and
Em., tony and two other body guards. Also there was Kathy his manager, two
secret service agents whom were hitching a ride and the four surviving
McCormick's. All but Jordon who was not a McCormick I had learned where not
very good quests. They made constant complaints. The older McCormick was
being a jack ass. I understand he has a few broken bones and all that but
if he didn't stop saying Fag one of us were going to toss him out of the
plane.

Finally, someone had enough. "Excuse me sir. I think I heard enough.  These
Folks have been kind enough to give free passage. I would think that you
and these young ladies would show some gratitude or at least some curtesy."
Said the Secret Service agent.

"It's their fault I am in this fucking body cast." He yelled

"No sir according to what we uncovered you're the one who tipped of the
paparazzi about a possible scandal requiring these young gentlemen here. So
sir in all actuality you're to blame for the death of nine people the
injury of many others including yourself."  Said the female Secret Service
agent.


"Are you fucking serious?" I yelled standing up. Jason grabbed me. I
stopped.

"This was all because of you? You fucking scum bag. You almost killed my
whole fucking family. Your fucking lucky there are witnesses right now or I
would throw you out of the plane right now." I screamed. The worse part of
it all was I was dead serious.



Jason


I listened to Cody rant at the man. I held his arm. The truth of it is I
wanted to do it myself. I pushed the button on the side and the steward
came in. "Can you take Mr. McCormick to place where he will be safe from
Mr. Dawson-Chris from throwing him out of the plane, maybe that little side
room." I said very calmly.

Cody turned to me to say something then smiled. he figured out what the
side room was. it was where we stored the band equipment. It was dark and
had no windows. Though did have air circulation. I was being an asshole.

Once he was gone we only had to listen to the demands of his two
daughters. "fuck, you two put a new meaning to evil step-sisters. Ain't no
way I am going to put up with this shit for next five years. So will you
two shut the fuck up?" yelled Jordon.


I was shocked at his outburst. Over the time I have spent around him he was
never loud, angry or said a single curse. I guess everyone has reached that
point where they can't take any more. I smirked in spite of myself as did
Cody. I looked around and everyone had a grin. Jordon was about to
apologize until he saw all our smiles. thankfully the girls didn't say
another word the rest of the flight.


We landed in Philadelphia, where we taxied to the airport
terminal. Normally we would just use steps but considering that some of
couldn't handle them we taken to a terminal passage disembark area. The
airport paramedics came in and got Todd McCormick out of the storage
area. We got a few looks from them until he started his bitching. I saw a
look of understanding.

We disembarked after the girls did. Jordon asked to leave with us. He had
asked if I knew a good lawyer. I told him I would get him in contact with
mine. It seems that the bulk of the money was his mother's and he got it
all. The unfortunate thing is his Step-father was the one in control.

We left the plane and went through to the area outside the secure area to
be greeted by paparazzi. The secret Service agents pushe4d us through they
threatened anyone who tried to push I micro phone near anyone. We made
quick passage to the waiting limousines. Jordon with us. We drove up
interstate 95 and the crossed over and went up Broad street.

 It would have taken longer but the Governor had ordered State police
escort. They would be a constant state police officer around the compound
until the paparazzi died down.

Duke

The next few weeks while we all recovered from our emotional and physical
bruises Jason went down to the studio and worked on the music for the
movie. Luke and I got to hang out. He even used us for back up in a few
songs. I was awesome. I loved every second of it.

Luke and Jordon were becoming a thing. I don't think they did anything but
they we're hanging out a lot. Luke though would get this distant look every
once in a while. He would see me looking at him and smile then shrug it
off.

The night before we were to Leave for Disney World I finally asked what he
was thinking about when he stared off like that.

"Just think about all that has happened in the past eight months. Some bad
like dad being killed, Mom too but her hitting me in the head doesn't make
it as bad as dad dyeing. I know that sounds bad huh?"

"No not really. I don't if can forgive her for that either." I said as
moved over and got in bed with him.

"The good things are that we have Cody, Jason the four little ones Billy
and Emily. That we get to live here and I know they love us."


"Yeah they do. I love you bro." I said kissing his cheek.

"Love you too, dork breath." Said Luke.

"What's a dork smell like.?" I was picture some asswipe kid back in our old
school.

"A dork is big ole whale dick. So your breath smells like a big ole dick."
Said Luke giggling.

"Bro you're the gay guy. It's breath that smells like dick."

"Not yet it doesn't."

"Oh man. Fuck Luke go to sleep."

"You started it."

"Whatever dude. I going to sleep so shut up."

"Night Duke."

"Night."
