Donald and Mark spent their time together, Mark occasionally going home to get something or to talk to his dad. His mum was still awkward but was not threatening him with kicking him out or cutting of any support. His dad had obviously started to turn her round, but it was slow going. The lads were enjoying their time together, they would wake and shower together then do chores or watch TV or well as, you all know. They met with Geoff and Toby twice and caught up on their life's, they were surprised to see how close the two of them were. Donald continued working in the afternoons and evenings. He knew he had time off coming up just after the court. He always took two weeks around his birthday. Should be good this year, he could share it with someone. Mike and Paul had called a couple of times to check on him and make sure all was well. They were happy Mark was staying as they knew he would give him a lot of support. Finally it was the day before the Court case. Donald was now off for a week then his holidays would start so he was a little more relaxed, well as relaxed as he could be with what was about to happen. He had had another nightmare last night but Mark had lay soothing him the minute the first whimper left his lips. He had met with the Lawyer who was with the Procurator Fiscal, three times know, and more or less knew what to expect. Hopefully after tomorrow he could put all that happened in the past and start enjoying life. --------------------------- Roger, had spent another night terrified in his remand cell. He hated this place, the men picked on him because he was short. He also looked younger than his just 21 years, he could always pass as 17, he got ID'd all the time. In his time in the prison he had been threatened a number of times and had experienced at least two instances of being groped by bigger guys. He knew he was safe for the moment, prisoners on remand were mostly kept away from the main prison population, they only mixed at meal times and during exercise, all of which were monitored. That would change if he came back, he dreaded that day, he still thought in his head he had done no wrong. Gays should not be allowed in the locker rooms when other guys were changing. He had seen things, in the last two weeks that terrified him, and the culprits were like him in attitude and the victims were like him in physical appearance. He prayed he would not be sentenced to time, especially in jail. --------------------------- Mark had arranged a quite dinner for Donald, the day before the trial, he wanted to try and relax him as much as possible. He had made Chicken Fajitas, with salsa, guacamole and lime Mayo sauces. He knew Donald hated Sour cream, the Mayo was something that he had found on the net. He had everything ready and was keeping things warm for Donald's return from work. Twenty minutes or so later than normal Donald arrived home. "Hi handsome, how was work?" he asked as he took hold of Donald and kissed him. "Not good to be honest, we had a busy day then someone left me a note. Sheila at the desk described the guy but not to well. Sounded a bit like Frederick from College." Mark looked at Donald, "So what did the note say? You seem on edge, more than you have been." Donald handed him the note, it was crumpled but still readable. It read. "Don't think you can win tomorrow, faggots ain't got rites. Roger will be free by evening." Mark looked at Donald then back at the note, "I think you should tell someone about this, whoever it is, is sick and more or less threatening you. Maybe you should talk to Toby, he'll know what to do, if not him talk to Mike." Donald nodded as he was held by Mark, he finally noticed the smells permeating the house. "Something smells good. You been busy?" Mark moved away holding his hand and drawing him into the kitchen. Donald saw the sides and the tortillas. "I made fajitas, go get changed I'll serve. Donald left and wandered through to the bedroom and quickly stripped off his uniform putting on a T-shirt and some shorts, his lounge about gear. While he was doing this Mark was putting out all the stuff on the living room table, he got the chicken out and took it through to the living room. As he walked past the bedroom Donald walked out. "You know, I like coming home to dinner being ready, but I like coming home to you so much more." He kissed Marks cheek at that and then followed him through to the living room. They sat on the floor watching some tv and eating. "These are fantastic" said Donald round a mouthful of fajita wrap. He was smiling, Mark's heart beat faster, he would be happy seeing that smile every day, but of late it had been rare occurrence. They sat and talked more about Donald's day and the letter. Donald agreed to call Mike or Toby after the meal then they would get sorted out for bed and tomorrow. They soon finished the meal and Donald thanked Mark again, for what he had done, this time moving over to him and sitting astride his legs. He took Marks face in his hands and kissed him long and deep. "I love you." kiss, "Thank you for dinner" kiss, "I'm so lucky", kiss. With each comment came a kiss, Mark was smiling by the fifth one. "Donald I love you as well, I'm glad I have stayed and will do till you say you don't need me anymore. I had been thinking that I could move in, I would have to go look for a job so I can pay digs but if I get to be in bed with you and wake with you that's nothing. I think we should discuss this after everything is done with." "I'd like that," was all Donald said. The meal over both boys cleared up and Donald went to the hall where the phone was. He called Mike but got no answer, so he then called Toby, "Kowalski residence". The voice said but I wasn't Toby. It took Donald some time to realise it was Geoff. "Hi Geoff, it's Donald, you ok? Cool, Is Toby about? I can wait. Im not bad, Yeh he's here, all set for tomorrow?". The one sided conversation went on then with Mark listening, "Ok we will talk tomorrow.". Then another pause "Hi Toby how you doing, sorry to call you but I need advice. Ok thanks. Well its about a letter I got at work, I wasn't about when it came in. I opened it and it said "don't think you can win tomorrow, faggots ain't got rites. Roger will be free by evening." I spoke to the girl on the desk and from her poor description I thought it might have been handed in by Frederick. What do you think I should do? After a while Donald said thanks Toby, see you at some point tomorrow." With this he hung up. "So?" was all Mark said. "Toby says to take it and show the lawyer in the morning, it's to late to get it admitted as evidence, but it may be useful, he also said to not worry as Roger's case was clearcut. In case you didn't guess, it was Geoff who answered he has been spending his spare time there, keeping house, Toby is loving it." "Cool, I'm glad things are working out, it seems, for everyone. I still can't believe Geoff and Toby are together. You ready for bed or shall we watch some telly before bed." It was decided to watch some TV, Donald was still a little hyper, they watched a couple of comedy shows, then headed to bed both boys cuddling into each other, Donald was a little worried about the next day but relaxed when he felt Mark spoon against him. 'I love this man so much, I'm glad I found him.' With this thought he turned his head and kissed Marks forehead, then settled again to sleep. He woke with the alarm the next morning, he had rolled in the night and Mark was sleeping against him, Mark was now stirring with the noise of the alarm. Donald rolled so his head was on Marks pillow, as Marks eyes opened he was looking straight into the smiling face of Donald. He started slightly as he did, then smiled, this brought on a bigger smile from Donald. "You are so handsome DD, I love your smile, it's like the dawning sun," he then leant forward and kissed Donald." Time to get up and shower some are ready to for court." They showered and dressed grabbed breakfast then kissing at the front door left for court. ---------------------------- Roger woke to find a warder at the door with his suit. He was to shower and head out in 20 minutes. He made it despite the run in with some heavies in the shower. He dreaded coming back if he had to. ---------------------------- Mr McIntyre, the lawyer of the Procurator Fiscals office was waiting for Donald as he arrived, he was a man in his late forties to early fifties had thinning hair and round metal framed glasses, he shook Donald's hand. Donald was taken to a waiting room. He would be called by the Procurator Fiscal to give his evidence then the other Crown witnesses would be called. He may be cross examined by the defence lawyers but he would have to wait to see. Just as Mr McIntyre turned to leave Donald told him of the note he had received. He passed it to him, Mr McIntyre said he would talk to the Procurator about it. Donald felt a little better, it may or may not come to something but he could only wait. ---------------------------- For those not familiar with Scottish Law, the Procurator Fiscal is similar to an American District Attorney, and we are the only country of the western world, to my knowledge to use 15 Jurors, there is therefore always a majority. ----------------------------- Roger was brought up a set of stairs into the dock. He stood there in his suit looking up at the Sheriff, below the sheriff was the Procurator and his team, to the right of the judge, and to his Left Marks Lawyer and assistant. The Clerk of the court sat below the sheriff, she would take the minutes and ensure the court papers were in order. Roger looked to his right and so 15 people sitting there, this was the jury. A majority verdict was all that was needed to win or lose his trial. To his left was a raised platform with a seat, this was for the witnesses that were called. He knew what was happening before he was remanded he had had a hearing with the prosecution and defence where he had plead not guilty. This had led to the trial by jury. He now wished he had plead guilty. The sheriff read out his statement to the jury and people in the gallery regards the charges Roger faced. He reminded the jury of their duty to listen to the facts and then decide the verdict. Once the verdict was reached it would be up to the judge to sentence or acquit Roger. The sheriff then asked both teams to plead there case. The Procurator called his first witness, Donald. The trial was a blur for Donald he remembered telling what happened up to the attack then the patches he remember throughout it all the way up to him going to the nurse. He then was asked a number of questions pertaining to certain points. Once the Fiscal was completed the defence lawyer asked him questions, Donald answered them all truthfully and by the end he was sweating. Once he was complete the Court officer escorted him out and brought in the next witness. Mark, Mike Geoff and Paul were all called along with some others from the Football team. They were all done by lunch. The case reopened after recess and the defence called their witnesses, again they were questioned by both sets of layers. Eventually both the defence and prosecution were complete and the Sheriff asked the jury to go and make a decision. Donald was now in a room with the other witnesses for the defence so now had company although he was very restrained around Mark. After about thirty minutes a court official came in and said the jury were done, Donald opted to go to the court a sit in the public gallery, Mark, Geoff, Mike and Paul joined him. They got seated just as the jury returned to the court, then the sheriff entered, everyone stood as he did. Soon the jury were asked for their verdict. The spokesperson handed over the sheet containing the information stating they had found the defendant guilty of hate motivated assault. The Sheriff thanked the jury then looked down a Roger, who now sat his head hung. The sheriff spoke for a bit saying how Scotland had come far in dealing with crimes such as this, how he always felt pity when a young person strayed from the law, but a punishment had to be given. ------------------------- Roger sat listening to the jury then the Sheriff, he knew he was going back to jail, the worst thing that could could happen. He heard the sheriff ask him to stand and he did. He listened again to the sheriff explain how he had come to his decision and then stood almost in tears as the sheriff said. "Roger Martin, you have been found guilty of a hate crime under Scots law, as Sheriff I have the unfortunate task of sentencing you for this crime. I have weighed my options and have made my decision. I am sentencing you to 6 month in a young offender institute, this being due to your age. Once you are released you will be tagged and monitored for a further year. Do you understand my decision? Would you like to say anything? " Roger nodded, he was a little relieved, he might survive this after all. "No your Honour and yes I do understand your Honour" "Very well take him away. The police officer who was in the dock with him led him to the stairs and out of the courtroom. The Sheriff then dismissed the court, thanking everyone. --------------------------- Donald sat relieved at the result he stood and moved towards the bench to thank the Procurator and Mr McIntyre. Once done he headed out of the court with the guys they chatted quietly as they did. "I need a drink" announced Mike, "Let go to the Tam." They all agreed to this and headed off out the County buildings. As they walked they noticed that they seemed to be being followed by some others, they were a wee bit back from them that they were not easily recognised but ever time they took a new street they were behind them. They guys thought it was coincidence but were ready just in case. They got to the town centre and headed up the main street to the Tam. One there they ordered a pint and headed to a booth they all sat then Geoff raised his glass. "To Donald, now you can live. I hope you have a wonderful life with Mr Right." He smiled at Donald and Mark then the rest added "to Donald" clinked glasses and drank. It was then that Mark noticed a group enter, there were about 9 of them and amongst them was Frederick and John-Paul from football. As the group passed there was an air of open hostility, Frederick glared at Donald then moved on. "I don't like this" said Geoff, "they look like the group that were behind us coming from the court. Frederick and John-Paul were very friendly with Roger. Let's be careful." They continued to drink but kept a wary eye on the new group. After a second pint the group decided to leave, as they were sorting themselves out a phone rang. "Its mine" said Geoff answering it "Hi there, yeh we are in the Tam but about to head, ok I'll call you back in a second." he hung up. "That was Toby he wants to meet up with us, he suggested we meet at the Kirk for a drink and bite to eat, he wondered if you were all interested?" Donald and Mark , looked at one another and nodded, this in turn led to Mike and Paul agreeing too. Geoff dialled Toby back to say they would be there in 10 mins. They gathered their gear and left, noticing that the group of guys that had seemed to be following them were quickly drinking up as well. They left the pub and headed up a side street, just outside, they took a round about route to the Kirk. ------------------------------ Frederick and John-Paul and some of Rogers close friends had decided to follow the guys after the result of the court case, they couldn't believe a bunch of poofs could get away with it. In their small minds they could not understand that the reason Roger had been jailed. Roger had only been trying to prevent a gay guy from perving on normal guys as they changed, well at least that's how they saw it. The group of bigots had followed Donald and the guys to the Tam, and on entering Frederick noticed that Coach and that big security guy were with them. 'Why is coach here? Why is he spending time with this pervert?' Little did he or the others know. They saw the guys getting ready to leave but by the time they got out of the pub the guys had disappeared. They decided to split up and see if they could find them. The eight men separated and went different directions, if they spotted the guys they would text everyone. ------------------------------- Donald walked beside Mark, as they headed to meet Toby, Geoff, Mike and Paul were chatting. "Thanks for being there, I know you had to but knowing you were close helped me." Donald was walking so close to Mark their arms touched. "Donald I'll always be there for you, you know that. I'm just glad that it's over." Donald smiled at him, "You know I feel sorry for Roger, he will suffer for what he did to me, his life will not be the same, then I remember what he said as he hit me and I'm glad he is going to the Young offenders institute." Mark just looked at him, he felt strongly for this man, even after what happened he was trying to forgive. They arrived at the Kirk and to Mike and Paul's shock, Geoff hugged and kiss Toby. They looked at Mark and Donald the question obvious in there eyes. 'Whats going on? What did we miss?' Mark and Donald looked at one another, and started to laugh and the older men's expense, "Your faces are priceless, did we not say that Geoff was seeing someone, we thought we had. Geoff had heard the exchange, "Coach, can I introduce you to Toby, he was the officer that arrested Roger." Toby offered his hand to first Paul then Mike. "nice to meet you both" he said. Coach smiled and Mike looked at first Geoff then Toby. "So what's going on, you two seem to know each other rather well." They could hear the laughter in his voice. Toby looked at Geoff and then Mark and Donald, finally back to Paul and Mike. "What can I tell you other than I'm a lucky guy to meet such great friends particularly this one. He patted Geoff's shoulder. I'm not sure yet if we are a couple but we sure are getting there." He said smiling, Geoff blushed a little and nodded. "Coach, can I introduce Toby Kowalski, the man I love" All the guys turned to look at him, it was now Toby's turn to blush. Their status as boyfriends was now confirmed. Both Mike and Paul said almost simultaneously, "Nice to meet you Toby." Then the conversation broke to general chatter till Mike said loudly, "I don't know about you lot but I'm hungry shall we go in and eat." They trooped into the Kirk, an ex church that had been renovated into a restaurant and bar. They found a booth and sat. "Drinks? my shout" Toby said. He had stood at the end of the table and took the order for the round. It was funny the three couples had all sat opposite each other. Mike opposite coach then Mark opposite Donald and finally Geoff opposite Toby. Toby headed to get the round in and the guys started to talk. Mike took the chance to talk to Geoff. "So Geoff, tell us what happened, who turned you. Although I can see why you like him he is hot, hot, hot. Your hotter though handsome." He said across the table to Paul who had started glaring at the second hot. "Well we met at Donald's, Toby is new to the area and didn't know anyone. He took a chance to meet Donald after his attack, but was to late." Geoff smiled at first Donald then Mark. "He settled for third best and got me. All I can say is I've never had some much fun or loved so strongly in my life." At this Toby came back, "What you been saying about me?" he said smiling, Mike looked up and smiled. "Only good things, trust me." The drinks were passed around and then menus. They sorted out their order and this time Geoff left. "Toby, I'd just like to say welcome to the area and I hope you enjoy your time with us." Mike stood and leant to shake his hand again. Toby was smiling again, "You guys are great, I have never met so many great guys in a short time." "Oh we are great, just watch Mike though he tends to get a little excited in new company." Paul said smiling gently at his lover. They all laughed at this and Mike pretended to be hurt turning to face away from his lover. He started to smile as he did this spoiling the effect. "So you lot laughing at my expense." said Geoff as he returned. They all said no almost to quickly, this time everyone laughed. They sat and chatted about the case, about their plans eventually the food came and things quieted for a while. They had had another couple of rounds during the meal and the talking so by the time it everything was done it was after eight and they were merry. They were enjoying themselves when Toby said he had to go as he had an early night. To much hugging and goodnight the group started to head off. At the door of the Kirk, Paul stopped "Guys, we are having a gathering at ours this weekend, plan BBQ if weather is good, indoor and buffet if not, bring a bottle. It would be good to have you all there." Donald and Mark immediately said yes they'd be there. Geoff looked at Toby and they agreed they would come also. As they all lived in the same general direction they headed off, then after more hugging split up. Paul and Mike moving off one way the others heading towards Donald's. -------------------------------- Mike and Paul talked about how it was good to see everyone so happy and that they felt Geoff was a lucky guy to be with Toby, even though there had been the surprise he was dating a guy. "God you must be turning the guys at school, what would the Head say if he found about all these straight guys that are gay." Mike said laughing. Paul slapped him in fun, "Just you wait young man," He said in his best teachers voice. Even after 14 years together and having dealt with authority in the army, Mike was instantly hard, he was always turned on when Paul 'went all Dad' on him. They walked together till they reached home, and minutes after entering they were in bed holding each other and gently making love. -------------------------------- Donald, Mark, Geoff and Toby were talking about the evening and how cool Mike and Paul were they reached the halfway point between Donald's and Toby's and said their goodbyes hugging and kissing each other. They agreed to meet on Friday, today was Monday, so they could organise their food and drink for the party. With this they walk their separate ways, -------------------------------- Toby walked in silence for a while contemplating his life and how he was lucky to have met Geoff and the rest. "The guys are great Geoff, thanks for what you said earlier do you know that's the first time you have said how much you like me to anyone other than me. You made me a very happy man, and I would be proud to have you as my partner in life." he looked at Geoff who had stopped suddenly. "You proposing to me Mr Kowalski, if so I have to think about it." Mark said smiling broadly, then moving off again. Toby looked at him pondering his answer, he did this all the way home, 'had he moved to fast?, did Geoff really love him?' just some of the thoughts. He soon found out the answer. ---------------------------------- Donald and Mark walked as the others had done talking about the day "I better phone Dad and let him know how today went, I do it once were at yours.". They continued walking and soon enough they were at Donald's door. Donald opened up and they entered the second the door closed Mark pulled Donald to him, kissing him, his hands pulling him into him. After what felt like an eternity they broke apart. "Wow! That was awesome, can we do it again?" Donald said catching his breath. "I've waited all day to do that, consider it part of your well done present, you will get the rest soon. First I need to call dad. You go and get comfy I'll be there soon. He kissed Donald's cheek this time then pulling out his phone called his dad. "hi dad , how you doing? I thought I'd call to let you know that Roger got sentenced to six months in Borstal. Then he is to be monitored for a year. Yeh I think he should have got more but Donald has been felling a bit sorry for him. Were just back from a meal with the guys. Yeh Mike, Paul, Geoff and Toby. We ate at the Kirk, cheap and cheerful yes we had a drink. Donald is really good as far as I can tell. He was all smile all through the meal. Dad I love the guy, is it ok if I stay a few more days? How's Mum? She ok? Cool I'll pop over tomorrow and see both of you. Love you both." He hung up at this and walk to the living room to find Donald sprawled on the couch. --------------------------------- The same call but from Mark's dads point of view. Oh hi Mark, doing good here. Whats up you ok? He got six month and year monitoring that doesn't seem a lot. Donald's a good guy. So what you done today other than the court? The Guys? Where did you go? Yeh cheap and cheerful and good drink as well. Did Donald do ok, how is he doing? Good to here that and I don't see a problem I'll let your mum know. She is doing ok, I think she may have realised the error of her ways. Maybe you should come over sometime pay us a visit it's been two weeks since you went visiting. Yeh love you too son love to Donald. Night." He then hung up. ---------------------------------- Mark entered the living room to find Donald sprawled on the couch, he smiled to see he at ease he seemed to be. He move to stand in front of the couch and Donald sat up and reach to hold him, his hands holding him at the waist. Mark enjoyed the feel of Donald's hands on him. "Dad says hi, he wants me to go over tomorrow and talk to him and mum, I said I will." "Cool how is he? How is your mum? You tell him about Roger?" Mark answered all the questions then leant forward grasp Donald's chin and pulled him forward to the edge of the couch then he leant in and kissed him again. Donald pulled him down onto the couch and soon they were kissing and cuddling on the couch, neither had removed their coats yet. Mark pulled back to catch his breath and looked at his lovers face. "You know how beautiful you are? I could spend all day just looking at you". Donald blushed at this then taking a breath spoke. "Mark, can I ask you something," he paused till Mark nodded yes. "Well we have been together a month now and spent the last two weeks together, which have been the best two weeks I've had in a while. Well I was wondering if you fancied making a permanent arrangement, I know you said we would talk about it later but I can't wait. I have loved our time together I want you to share my life, my home. Would you like to move in?" Mark had been sitting part listening part dreaming, he looked at Donald. "You want me to move in, like permanently, you sure." Donald laughed and looked at Mark smiling. "Mark I have loved this past fortnight, you being here, being together, you coming home to me and vice versatile, I have realised how much I would miss you if you weren't here, even if you are only ten minutes away. I would like you to move in with me, share my home. Maybe after some time we might make a more permanent arrangement." Mark was grinning from ear to ear now, he knew he wanted to be with Donald, he knew the past two weeks had been the best of his young life, he simply looked at his lover, boyfriend, partner, that was it this would make him a partner. "Yes," Donald was over the moon, he started to tear up, Mark seeing this took his hand and pulled him into a hug, the two men held each other heads on each others shoulder not moving just being together, their love for one another palpable. Mark was first to talk after some time his head was still on Donald's shoulder "Hey handsome I need to get up, sorry to spoil the moment, I need to pee." Donald released him and started to laugh, "Mark you just made me a happy man, so why would I think you were trying to spoil the moment?" At this Mark got up and headed to the toilet, Donald also got up and headed out to the bedroom. It had been a long day and he wanted to spend some just holding Mark before sleep. Mark notice, on leaving the bathroom, that the living room was now dark he headed towards the bedroom and found Donald standing taking of his shirt. He stood watching as the shirt slipped off the body of his lover. He watch as the muscles moved under the skin, donald had a beautiful body, the body of an athlete a swimmer, Mark loved just watching him. Donald, who's back had been to the door, felt he was being watched as he stripped. He turned shirt still in hand to see Mark watching him, smiling. "It been a long day and I want to hold you in bed, I want to be close to you." At this Mark stepped into the room unbuttoning his shirt, Donald watched, it was his turn to admire the man he loved and what a man he was. Within minutes both men were in bed, they had stripped down to the boxer briefs. Tonight was not about sex it was about being together sharing each other, sharing their love. They lay together exploring each other gently whispering to each other, they were both excited but they did nothing about it. This was not a night of raw passion, lust as previous night had been this was pure love in their eyes. Eventually the caressing slowed to a gentle stroking of and arm or across a chest as they curled up together, Donald's head on Marks chest, his arm resting across Mark's waist his fingers making lazy circles on Marks waist. Mark had his arm under Donald and was holding him while his fingers gently stroke Donald's back. "Mark thank you for being with me today, it helped me make it through the day." Mark could only smile and kiss Donald's forehead. "I love you DD, let's get some sleep. We can tell my dad and mum what is happening in the morning." "Love you Mark" donald said with a kiss. Then he cuddled back in listening to the heartbeat of his partner he lay awake for some time just listening, Mark's breathing became deeper the heartbeat slowed a little as he drifted to sleep, Donald heard and felt it all. He want to feel this ever night for the rest of his life. Mark as he drifted to sleep could feel the reassuring weight of Donald against him, he knew this was right, he was happier than he had ever been. As he drifted off the only thought he had was what his parents would say. ----------------------------------- Roger after leaving the court was taken straight to the Young Offenders Institute, nicknamed the Borstal. He was processed and handed his uniform. After stripping and being intimately search he dressed and was led by a taciturn guard to a room containing four beds, the room and three made up beds unoccupied. He was shown to forth bed and told to get it made. The guard stood telling him about the rules and times for meals and light out. After the bed was made the guard told him he would need to make his way to the canteen to eat in an hour, he then left. Roger sat on the bed he would have cried but was to scared to in case he was found. He had sat thinking of what he had done when someone entered the room, "Ah fresh meats here," the guy who spoke stopped and looked at Roger, Roger looked up and felt a chill run down his back, the guy was huge, maybe 18 around six foot four and heavily muscled, a real bruiser. He had worried what would happen had he gone back to jail, he had not thought of the possibilities there would be guys like this in Borstal. The guy stepped forward his hand out, Roger flinched, it was noticed then the guy said. "I'm Paddy, welcome to hell. You ok you look a little shaken." The smile he gave Roger was feral. "I'm Roger", he said quietly. "Roger good to meet you, I think we will be good friends. So what you in for? How long? " Roger feeling a bit safer thanks to how nice Paddy seemed answered, Paddy's grin came back. "Well Roger I'm off for a shower then it'll be grub time, I'll be right back." He stripped to his shorts and headed to the showers with his towel. As he walked he whistled. At first Roger did not recognise the tune but after the sound had died it came to him, it was Duelling Banjos from Deliverance, the fear returned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I always enjoy hearing from those who read my Stories.
