CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

LIVING IN A LIE

True to form, the concrete for the new building and the dining room had
been laid, and the permanent canopy that was going to be covering the
dining room was in place so that everyone could sit down at the same time
to eat. All the extra supplies ordered had also arrived and the first day
in the new dining room would coincide with their guests from Texas arrival.

In Texas, a very excited young boy woke extra early so that he could be
ready for his trip to see his friends in Canada. It was also his first
plane trip which while it scared him a little bit, it also sounded
exciting.

Miles and Keith both heard Jeremy moving around and while they could have
had at least another thirty minutes in bed they decided to get up but not
before a quick kiss and cuddle. Both had morning `Woody's' but decided if
they did something about that they would be late. After a quick shower they
were just getting dressed when there was knock on the bedroom door and a
small voice said, "Dad's hurry up we don't want to miss the plane."

Both laughed with Miles replying, "Don't worry son we're almost ready and
we have plenty of time."

"He's so excited but then so am I, we haven't seen the farm for a while and
a lot has happened since then." Keith remarked. Dressed and ready they went
into the kitchen were Miles set about making breakfast while Keith brought
the luggage from their's and Jeremy's room. He had insisted they pack
everything the night before just in case they overslept.

They sat down to scrambled eggs and fruit juice but Jeremy hardly touched
his, he was too eager to get going. Miles and Keith did the washing up and
put everything away before making sure the house was secure with the gas
turned off. Then they waited for Keith's mom to arrive to take them to the
airport.

Both mom's wanted to take them, so to prevent a argument Miles suggested
that Keith's mom take them to the airport and his would pick them up when
they returned. At the airport they said their goodbye's with Jeremy kissing
his Grandmother telling her he loved her which always brought a tear to
both of their eyes.

It was a fairly long flight with a stopover in Minneapolis before flying
onto Saskatoon.  They then went by rental car to the farm which was about
another two hours, so the whole journey took close to eight hours including
the stopover. That didn't include the drive from their home to the airport
that was close to ninety minutes.

Once they boarded their first flight Miles asked Jeremy if he would like to
sit near the window but he said, "No I want to sit between my two dads so
they can look after me if anything happens." Both of his dads laughed but
did as he asked.  When it came time to take off he held both his dads hands
so tight that he almost made them bleed.  It was only when they were at
cruising height and the seat belt sign went off did he begin to relax.

The landing at Minneapolis was a repeat of the take-off. With an hour
fifteen layover they took him to McDonalds in the airport for lunch before
making their way to the lounge. They were surprised when they checked in
that they had been bumped up to business class because the flight was
overbooked and this made Jeremy feel very important.

On the flight to Saskatoon sleep finally overtook the young boy and he
slept for about an hour but then so did Keith and Miles.

Back at the farm, Damien had taken it upon himself to talk to the male
schoolteacher who was supposedly homophobic and was making it difficult for
many of the young gay boys he was teaching. After school, Damien wandered
over to his classroom and introduced himself. They had never officially met
but Donald Percival shook hands inviting Damien to take a seat.

At first they made general conversation about the school, the district and
weather before Damien got right down to the matter in hand.  Tell me Don,
may I call you that?" he asked and Don nodded before Damien continued,
"Tell me why are you so against gay people and especially gay kids?"

There was a long pause as Don considered his answer.  While he was waiting
Damien noticed that while the guy was in his late thirties he was not
married, although he was an attractive looking guy about six foot in height
and with blue eyes.  Damien was surprised he was unmarried.

Finally, Don answered his question, "Because I believe homosexuality is a
mortal sin against God and the sacredness of marriage. If you choose to be
gay as you put it then you should become an outcast just as the lepers were
in the old days."

"But god himself made us what we are; we didn't decide to be gay so you're
going against the good Lords ways by condemning us."

He was silent seeking an answer and Damien was beginning to realize why Don
was like he was and decided to confront him with it, "You know what I
think? I think you're gay yourself and ashamed of it, which is wrong. I
suspect that as a child you were told it was wrong to like boys or maybe
play with dolls and this scarred you for life. Correct me if I'm wrong but
I believe that deep down you are on our side of the fence but too ashamed
to admit it so you take your frustration out on the gay boys you teach."

Don's face began to crumble and Damien knew he had guessed right. Tears
began rolling down his cheeks so Damien put his arms around him, "How did
you guess?" he asked.

"I didn't, I just took a punt on a hunch and I was right.  I take it you
have always had to suppress your feelings mainly because of family
pressures, which was wrong. You were taking your frustration out of those
around you, which is wrong.  So why not from now on try to be a bit more
tolerant with those who are the same as you, gay. Especially those young
kids you teach who have already been through hell for a lot of their short
lives and don't need any more aggravation."

"I promise I will be more considerate and gentle with my pupils and I ask
you not to mention to Jennifer or the education authorities about our
conversation here today."

What took place here is strictly between you and I and no one else Don. Now
give me a hug before I get back to my work." They hugged briefly and he
knew that Don would be a good teacher from now on. He did say to Jennifer
later that day that he had a chat with Don and he would be much better from
now on. When she asked what happened to make him change Damien just smiled
and said, "Let's just say he saw the error of his ways and leave it at
that."

Damien then went to inspect the new dormitory building site that was just
getting underway. The concrete floor already had been poured and was
set. As he made his way over George intercepted him, "Can I stop you for a
minute, I have some news about more land?"

"No problem George, especially if it's good news."

"A land owner approached me with fifty acres for lease but it's about two
miles away which means if we use it for cows we will have to drive them to
the dairy on the road twice a day in both directions. While it's not really
suitable for crops we could plant potatoes which no one in this region has
ever done and we will then have to research the market to make sure we have
a buyer who can handle that big a crop."

He also added that they would have to purchase some extra special
harvesting equipment because harvesting by hand is back breaking and time
consuming.  Damien thought for a while before replying, "That's a radical
move for this area but we would be cornering the market if we go
ahead. I'll get Nathan to do some research on the internet but fifty acres
of potatoes would be too much.  I think that if we fence about ten acres
for planting and then look at buying some sheep which once again no one has
tried around here?" George agreed in principle but not before more research
had been done. Damien promised to get Nathan onto it right away as he
continued onto the building site.

He was surprised at the progress being made in such a short amount of time.
After speaking with the builder and being told if the weather held good
they would finish about a week ahead of

schedule.  The builder said, "While some of us don't agree with what is
happening here with these boys we are grateful for the amount of money
flowing into the district."

Damien asked him to explain himself a bit more, "Well last night at the
council meeting of which as you are aware I am a member, there was a lot of
discussion regarding the farm and mainly how big you were becoming.  As
someone suggested do we want that many homosexuals corrupting our region?

There was a lot of discussion at times, heated on the pros and cons until
someone pointed out how much extra trade and business you are bringing into
the region.  For example, I have never been so busy thanks to you and have
had to employ more workers, men who would be out of work it wasn't for your
project here.

The bottom line is that everyone appeared to be satisfied but you do have
those out there that are still totally opposed to this idea." Damien was
surprised at this outburst thinking this was the most this guy had ever
said to him or possibly anyone.

"I appreciate you telling me all this and I can say to you, know in
confidence for the time being that I intend to run in the next council
elections so that we have a voice in the district."

"Well you'll certainly have my support." The contractor said. With a
handshake, they parted company with Damien heading back to the office to
talk to Nathan about the ideas George had put forward. On the way back he
pondered on everything that had taken place today thinking what a great
place this had turned out to be, from a farm owned by a homophobic farmer
with a gay son who had the foresight to create something that is giving
young gay guys a chance in life.

He thought to himself that there should be some kind of award to recognise
the work of Jordon and the dedication he and Geoff were showing. By the
time, he got to the office he was getting a bit teary so he headed for the
restroom to freshen up.

Meanwhile the two young men in his thoughts were getting more and more
excited as the time drew near for their Texas friends to arrive. Miles had
called from Saskatoon airport to say they were picking up their rental and
would be there in two to three hours.

Everyone was just about to sit down for supper when a car horn sounded out
the front, "There here." Yelled a very excited Jordon as he began running
around the house to the front with Geoff hot on his heels. The Three
visitors were just getting out of the car when the pair of them arrived and
Jordon jumped into Miles arms kissing him on the lips before he realized
what he had done.

He jumped back just as quick saying sorry but Miles and Keith just laughed
saying they were just as happy to see them. Jeremy was looking a bit
bewildered at all this affection. Jordon after kissing Keith turned saying,
"Hello Jeremy welcome to the farm." He then kissed him on the cheek, which
while surprising him didn't faze him even when Geoff followed suit.

Once all the welcoming hugs were over they led the way to the makeshift
dining room that was just outside the back door.  It was here Bentley went
through the hugging and kissing process before being introduced the
Jeremy. Again, he was hugged and kissed but by now, he was beginning to get
used to it.

Jordon called for quiet and once he had everyone's attention he said, "Guys
I'd like you to meet some very good friends of mine and Geoff's from Texas
who are here for a short visit. Some of you may remember them from way back
when they were here but our family has increased since then. Please make
welcome Miles, Keith and their adopted son Jeremy."

Everyone cheered and applauded making them feel welcome, after all Jordon
and Geoff had talked about nothing else for weeks now. Miles spoke, "Thank
you for the warm welcome and it's good to see you all face to face at last
after having heard all about you from our two friends here. I must admit
from what we saw just coming from the car to back here, the place has
certainly grown some since our last visit.  Plus since then we have become
proud parents, having Jeremy here with us now. And guys he's straight and
has a girl friend." This made a few laugh and a couple of the guys about
Jeremy's age say, "Pity he's cute." Jeremy blushed and Jordon warned them
no more of that kind of talk.

Martha came out of the kitchen announcing, "Let's eat or supper will
spoil." Everyone went to get their food from the kitchen while Miles, Keith
and Jeremy were shown where they could wash up. Over dinner, the guests
were introduced in person to everyone.  Timmy and Jimmy took a shine to
Jeremy who became bored with their non-stop talking about egg production
and how to tell the sex of day old chicks.

The twins had been trained by an expert chicken sexer and could now tell
the sex of up to eighty-day-old chicks each every minute. After supper
Damien took them quietly to one side, pointing out that Jeremy was not gay
and they shouldn't try anything on with him.  Timmy said, "We already know
that and it's a pity because he's really cute."

Straight after supper the three Texans were feeling tired so they headed
off to the George and Martha's place for a good night's sleep. As always,
they tucked Jeremy into bed before kissing him goodnight.  Just as they
were about to leave he said the strangest thing, "You know dads, I didn't
realize how nice gay guys are and I wouldn't mind one bit if I were gay
because I would have some great friends."

Miles answered him, "It doesn't matter whether your gay or not, they'll
still be your friends because that's the way they are."

"Yes I suppose your right dads but I still wouldn't mind being gay." They
left him closing the door behind them and in their own room they thought
about what he had said, "You don't suppose he is gay do you?" Miles asked
Keith.

"I don't know, that was a rather strange statement he made wasn't it?"
Keith said and Miles agreed with him. While they hadn't made love in two
days they agreed they were both too tired and worn out, so they contented
themselves with a kiss and a cuddle before dropping off to sleep.

The next day one of two court trials was due to begin. The first was the
trial of the Redneck father of Brian. This was the guy Jordon gave food to
during a protest who when his father found out beat him almost to death
with a shovel.  While no one at the farm was actively involved in the case
Jordon and Geoff wanted to be there to provide moral support for Brian.

Both mom's said ok but insisted that they take two members of the security
team with them just in case. The courthouse was packed and the boys spotted
Brian in a wheelchair hooked up to IV's and machines being pushed into a
private room by nurses. They had been going to see him every couple of days
in the hospital and he was slowly making progress but it would be a long
time before he was any good again and his brain would never fully recover.

At the last minute Jennifer's boyfriend Clive, who was head of security
said he would go with them as well, "I have a bad feeling about this
trial." He told Jennifer. They found seats and waited for the actual trial
to begin. It had already taken two days to select a jury and the not guilty
plea was based on religious grounds that God sent him a message that his
son was associating with homosexuals and must be punished.

The media had made a big thing of this because it was unheard of and the
prosecution tried several different grounds to have the plea dismissed but
the judge obviously decided that it would be a very interesting case to sit
on.

The jury came in and then everyone had to stand while the judge came in,
then the trial was underway. In his opening statement the prosecutor
pointed out that there was no precedence in law to cover the not guilty
plea and it was plain as day that the man was guilty of attempted murder of
his only son.

Once he sat down the defence lawyer put forward his case saying that it was
against everything written in the bible that Brian should eat and socialize
with known homosexuals. This took most of the morning and the judge broke
for lunch.

The boys had brought their own lunch and they sat in the car park eating
chicken sandwiches and fruit juice from the hamper that had been put into
the car's trunk by Bentley. Included were homemade choc chip cookies that
were a speciality of their own bakery. Jordon remarked that there were some
strange looking characters with shaved heads and swastika tattoos in court
and they were milling around the entrance.

"I don't like the look of them at all and I can see trouble brewing inside
this afternoon. I think we should try and get down to the front as close to
Brian as possible because I think with him being the only witness for the
prosecution except for his doctor, his life could be in danger." Clive
said.

Both Jordon and Geoff had always wondered at the premonitions Clive
gets. The only time it let him down was with the new guard who tried to
rape Trent. Anyway having police connections we were able to go in through
a side door and sit right behind the prosecution table.

The police had also sensed trouble and had double the number of officers in
the room. The jury and then the judge came back in and Brian was called to
the stand. He was pushed in and placed in front of the witness box and as
he looked around the courtroom he smiled when he saw Jordon and Geoff
sitting there.

The defence lawyer jumped up protesting that Brian wasn't capable of giving
evidence because of the injuries to his head when he fell over onto the
shovel.  This caused an uproar with the prosecution protesting at the
remark plus the rednecks in the courtroom began yelling and laughing in
support.

It took the judge a while to bring order to the room and once he had, he
fined the defence five thousand dollars for contempt telling the jury to
ignore the remarks, "Any more remarks like that and you will find yourself
spending time with your client behind bars." The judge announced.

It was almost as if that was a signal because several rednecks who were
shouting anti-gay slogans lunged forward toward Brian and the judge. The
police and bailiffs in the courtroom were outnumbered and while the jury
and the judge were rushed out Clive and the other two security guys ushered
us out through a side door pushing Brian and his nurse in front of them.

Once through the door they found a key in the lock on the other side and
Clive locked the door before instructing everyone to follow him. Being an
ex-police officer he knew his way around and went down a couple of
corridors before they arrived at the offices where the judges were. The
sound of a massive battle-taking place in the courtroom was deafening and
police sirens could be heard approaching bringing in reinforcements.

Clive knocked on a door and a timid scared voice asked who it was. When
Clive identified himself, they heard a key turning in the lock and the door
opened to reveal a very frightened Judge Mathews, the trial judge. Also in
the room were several court reporters and secretarial staff all looking
traumatized. He allowed everyone in and it was only then that they could
check to make sure Brian was all right.

He was shaking like a leaf, otherwise he appeared to be ok, "It's a good
job you were in court Clive and could help out." Clive explained about the
premonition and then introduced Jordon and Geoff to him. Shaking their hand
he remarked how brave they were and kind to come to court to support Brian,
"Of course I will have to order a mis-trial and arrange for the trial to
held on cameras with no public allowed.

They chatted in general and Judge Mathews was very interested in the farm
project saying that he would like to come out and have a look sometime.
Not as a judge but as an interested member of the public."

For the first time Brian spoke in a very quiet voice saying, "Thank you so
much for the help and support you guys have given me." He paused before
continuing, "Once I get out of hospital would it be possible for me to come
and stay with you guys on the farm?  I have a small trust fund left to me
by my grandfather and since I have no other relatives around here I will
have no where else to go.

While I'm not gay I would like to join you guys and when I'm fit enough I
would be able to work around the farm." Without hesitation, Jordon said yes
adding that they were looking for a knowledgeable assistant for George and
he would fit the bill admirably. Brian smiled again only the second time in
days and the boys hugged him gently.

There was a knock on the door with the announcement that it was the chief
constable.  The door was then opened and he informed them the courthouse
was now secure and several arrests had been made. Brian said goodbye to
everyone as he was wheeled away to a waiting ambulance. Then the boys and
Clive said their goodbyes with the judge promising to visit them soon. They
too left by a side door only to find that their car had been trashed.

While Clive arranged for it to be towed, a police car was made available to
take them home. It was an anxious group of people waiting for them when
they arrived back. They had been watching the drama unfold on television
and everyone was worried sick because they had no idea where they were.

Once everyone had settled down they took their three guests on a grand tour
of the farm. First they looked at everything being done close to the house
including the new piggery were Jeremy fell in love with the baby piglets,
"Dads can I take one home and keep it as a pet?"

Laughing Miles explained, "What are we going to do with it when it becomes
as big as its momma, which it will."

"Oh I never thought of that." Still laughing they moved onto the chicken
barns that were divided into two. In one were the laying hens that now
numbered close to a thousand.  The other held chickens being bred for meat
which housed over two thousands chickens.

Damien explained to Jeremy, "And in charge of this whole operation are your
two new friends Timmy and Jimmy, the youngest chicken farmers possibly in
the whole world and they make the most money for the project."

"They are two wonderful boys, very clever and cute. I wish when I'm with
them that I was gay."

Miles and Keith looked at each other with wonder in their eyes.  Thinking
surely not, "Jeremy you come out with the strangest sayings sometimes."
They all laughed but couldn't help wondering, is he or isn't he gay.

The tour continued with a look at the boys quarters and the new development
being constructed.  After looking at the dairy and the horse's Jeremy was
told, he could go for a ride tomorrow. They hopped on board the tractor and
trailer for George to take them first to Bennett's farm and then on to a
tour of the boundary fences.

Both Miles and Keith were very impressed with the progress made since their
last visit and congratulated Jordon, Geoff and Damien with a hug. Their
final stop before supper was the front office so that Nathan could proudly
show them how everything was on spreadsheets or in the database so they
knew what money was coming in and out at any given time.

He explained all about milk production, crop rotation and how the bakery
was already showing a big profit. He then mentioned his favourite subject,
"I know how many condoms and bottles of lube we have in stock all the
time." Miles and Keith couldn't stop laughing after that statement and
after thanking Nathan they all headed for supper still laughing.

Supper was Bentley's special meat pie cooked in the bakery and this time he
made them into individual pies chock full of tender meat. Fresh home-grown
vegetable and mashed potatoes with gravy. Dessert was strawberries and
cream which also was home-grown.

Jeremy asked if he could sleep over with the twins and with some
reservation, his dads agreed, "But no sexy stuff understood?" All three of
them looking as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths nodded in agreement
but neither the dads nor Damien were sure nothing would happen.

The dark cloud on the horizon was that in two days' time the trial of
Domingo Gonzales the new security guard who tried to rape young Trent was
due to take place. Because he was pleading not guilty, Trent along with
several other eyewitnesses had to give evidence.

Trent was taking this badly and looked to be on the verge of a breakdown so
the boys set up a spare bed in their room to keep an eye on him. It was
during the first night that the boys were wakened by an earth shattering
scream...

To be continued.

Writer's corner:

Another living in a lie chapter bites the dust and what a chapter it was.
The Redneck father's court case turned into one big riot and the guys
thanks to Clive knowing his way around they were safe. These rednecks
remind me of members of the Westboro Baptist church. So set in their ways
and so bigoted that nothing will stop them and they never give in.

I fear the boys are going to continue to have trouble from these guys for a
lot longer.

Jeremy Miles and Keith have finally made it for a holiday and Jeremy is
keeping everyone entertained with his antics and sayings. The big question
is, is the young fella gay or not? What do you think? Should I keep him
straight or make him Gay, as he gets older? Let me know you're thoughts on
this.

The tour of the farm kept all of us up to-date with how big the project was
becoming and computer geek Nathan can't help but keep mentioning how many
condoms and bottles of lube are used.

We finally came to the other court case out there that of the rapist
security guard. Poor Trent do you think he will be fit enough to give
evidence and without his evidence will Domingo get off scot free?

All this will be answered in the next chapter so try not to miss out please
and of course please let me know what you think of this and all my other
stories.

Editors Corner

I agree with Trevor.  This was a very intense and exciting chapter.  What
with the trial and the rednecks trying to kill Brian.  I was so glad that
Clive went with the boys to court.  If he was not there I am sure they
would have been seriously hurt or killed.  The courtroom security only took
the judge and jury to safety.  They let the witnesses fend for themselves.

I agree with Trevor in that I believe that the farm and the boys will
experience more trouble again in the future with these rednecks.

I was glad to see Brian ask to live on the farm when he was released from
the hospital.  He definitely needs a place that is safe for him.  He should
also be awarded all his fathers money and belongings once he is convicted.
Screw `em...

I feel real sorry for Trent.  He has so much baggage.  I hope the boys are
able to help him enough to put that rapist behind bars for a long, long
time.

As for me I want Jeremy to remain straight.  I think it shows that gay
couples can raise boys or girls and not have them become gay like so many
bigots believe.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Take care...
