CHAPTER 11
FRIENDS, LOVERS, AND TROUBLE

Lisa and Robert Charles, Jordan and Matthew, and Scooter and Douglas left
the games room in pairs. The rest of the kids stayed to play games, watch
vids, or just talk. Travis was ready to play some air hockey with Ryan when
Carmen walked up to him and grabbed his arm.

"Can we talk?" she asked.

Travis looked at Ryan. Ryan shook his head, his eyes saying, "Say no."

"Sure," Travis said. He hurt inside when he saw the look on Ryan's
face. Even after his talk with Douglas, he couldn't understand why he would
rather stay with Ryan than go with Carmen.

While Carmen led Travis to a couch, Ryan went to join the others, his head
hanging some. Travis looked up at him and his whole gut hurt. He was ready
to turn to Carmen and tell her he wanted to be with his guy friends for
now, but Carmen told him something that made him decide to stay.

"Douglas isn't going to win, so why is he bothering?" she asked.

"Why do you think that?"

"Come on. He pays no attention to the girls. Everybody can see how he and
Scooter look at each other. I think they are a couple of queers."

Travis swallowed. "Excuse me? I thought we didn't use those words any
more."

"Well, it's true. Come on, you know what I mean. I guess it would be okay
if it was just the two of them, but if Douglas wants to lead us, he better
start paying attention to us girls. Robert Charles does, if you know what I
mean?"

"I think Douglas will pay attention to you...in fact I know he will,"
Travis said without conviction.

"Maybe when he goes into the spa with us tomorrow would be a good start."

"Yeah, maybe." Travis was worried now, because he knew Douglas wasn't
planning on going to the spa in the morning.

"I thought if I helped Douglas a little bit it would help you and me be
friends together."  She held on to his arm and smiled at him. "My parents
are in the theater right now. We could go to my room and, you know, get to
know each other a little. I think you're really cute, Travis."

Travis was feeling really nervous now. He'd had a girlfriend on Earth, but
while they kissed and felt each other a little, he never was totally alone
with her once. He wasn't sure he wanted to be alone with Carmen. But
Douglas needed all the help he could get. So he agreed to go to the room
with her. As they got up and left, Ryan watched them, trying to shake the
sinking feeling in his heart. As Travis left the games room with Carmen, he
never saw the look of hurt and sadness on Ryan's face.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Robert Charles and Lisa were in Robert Charles's room. Their kisses were
deep and hard and wet. Robert Charles slipped his hand inside of Lisa's
blouse and inside of her bra.  Lisa's breasts weren't very big yet, just
starting, but their softness felt just right to him. He rubbed one breast
and then slid in and rubbed the other. Lisa moaned some and kissed him. He
put her hand on his crotch and she felt his hardness. She had never touched
a boy down there, or had a boy touch her breasts.  She squeezed Robert
Charles's erection. The experience was a little scary, but Robert Charles's
advances felt so good she knew she wanted more.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Carmen led Travis to her cabin and into her room.

"We have to be done before my parents get back."

"Done with what?" Travis asked.

"Well, you know. Like what we came here for." She leaned in close, looking
for a kiss.

Travis backed away slightly. He didn't really want to kiss her, which
seemed strange to him. After all, Carmen is a girl, he thought, so he
should want to kiss her. But all he could think of was Ryan. And yet this
was a girl—a cute one. She seemed a nice one too since she had given him
a hint about what Douglas needed to do to help himself in the election.

Ryan was a boy, Carmen was a girl, and he was going to do what people
expected him to do. He leaned over and kissed her back. Her lips were so
soft and moist. After finishing the kiss he felt better. This felt like the
right thing to do. But then another bizarre thought came into his head.  He
kept wondering if Ryan's lips felt as good as Carmen's.

"Oh, Travis, you kiss so good," Carmen gushed.

Travis could feel her breasts pressing against him. She wrapped her arms
around him.  "Oh, Travis. Oh, Travis," she whispered. She started
unbuttoning his shirt.

"Have you ever been, like, with a boy before?" Travis asked.

"Once. Just before I left." She pulled off his shirt. He was wearing a
T-shirt underneath.

"What did you do?"

"This boy, Devon, me and him got naked at his house. He was like 13 and
very sexy just like you." Travis blushed. Carmen pulled off his T-shirt. He
felt his boner straining at his pants.  They kissed again. He pulled her
shirt off and looked at her in her bra.  The farthest he ever went with
Kaylin was down to their undies, kissing and feeling each other. But they
never touched each other's privates.  Kaylin had been afraid to touch him.
He touched her boobs once and kissed her, but she told him she wanted to
stop making out. He had come so close to shooting in his undies when he was
on the couch with her that when he got home he was so sexually excited he
had to jack off three straight times.  Each time he jerked off that night,
Kaylin had been all he could think about.

Now he was taking the bra off another girl, a girl he had just met. But
instead of thinking of her and her boobs, he was thinking of a flat chested
boy—he was thinking of Ryan. He got her bra off and they were both bare
chested. They kissed some more, tongues going into each other's
mouths. Carmen started opening Travis's pants. She pulled down his zipper
and saw a wet spot on the front of his briefs.

"Did you wet your pants, Travis?" She rubbed her hand on the spot.

That should have felt good. Instead what she had just said took something
out of him. His mind said, Ryan wouldn't have said that.

"No. It's called precum. Look. I have to go."

He grabbed his shirt and T-shirt and stood up. He was so flustered he
forgot his pants were open and unzipped and they fell down to his
ankles. He suddenly was standing in front of her in his underpants, his
boner quickly deflating, his undies with a big precum- caused wet
spot. Carmen started giggling. She stood up and pulled off her pants so
that she was standing in front of him wearing just her panties.

"Want me to take them off?"

Travis stared at her. She started tugging at them. He looked as her pubes
started to show as she tugged them down. He wanted to pull up his pants and
go, but stood there frozen.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ryan didn't know why he felt so miserable watching Travis leave. After all,
Travis left with a girl.  Guys were supposed to leave with girls, so why
did he feel this way?

He decided to head back to his room, but Mike stopped him before he could
leave.

"Are you okay, Ryan?"

"I'm just tired. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Are you going to the spa thing in the morning?"

"I don't know yet."

Mike gave him a sudden hug. He looked down at the little blond boy and
whispered, "Keep your head up. Take care."

Ryan managed to smile and headed to his cabin. He punched in his code,
walked into the bedroom, pulled off his clothes, and stood in front of the
mirror naked.  What he saw was a boy who was fourteen, blond, thin but
hard, with smooth skin that had no hair on it except a thin line of blond
pubic hair over the base of his dick. His dick hung softly, about
two-and-a-half inches, but up to four-and-a-half when it was hard.  He
pushed his dick between his legs thinking it made him look like a
girl. Maybe if I looked like this, he thought, with no dick and no balls,
Travis would want me. Like that girl Carmen. He started crying and turned
away from the mirror.

He knew his parents hated him. He thought that all he was to them was
money. He thought most of the kids on the "Starkeeper" liked him okay, but
he realized he was so quiet he couldn't make any close friends. And, except
for Scooter and Jordan, who weren't staying on Alpha Orion IV, the kids on
the ship were the only kids he would know when he got there. He couldn't
forget the fact that somebody had slugged him in the stomach in the dark,
which meant one boy didn't like him much. He lay on the bed, naked and
lonely, and wishing he was dead.  He could see no reason to go on
living. He just needed to find the courage and the means to do what it was
he wanted to do.

He put his dick in his hand, but it didn't want to get hard. He didn't have
anything to be horny about anyway, and pretty soon he fell asleep.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Jeremy and Warren sat on a couch talking. Jeremy was so outgoing and Warren
so quiet that any conversation between them was one-sided. Warren couldn't
figure out why Jeremy liked him so much.  At the same time Jeremy couldn't
help thinking how sexy looking Warren was. Warren was hot, and vulnerable,
and cute, and smart.  Jeremy couldn't take his eyes off of the other boy on
the couch.

"I guess I better get to bed," Warren said.

"I'll walk you to your cabin."

"Okay."

They got up and left. As they walked down the hall, Jeremy put his arm
around Warren.  "I really like you, Warren."

"Why?"

Jeremy stopped and turned Warren so they peered right into each other's
eyes. "Because you're sweet. And, well, because you're.....cute."

Warren didn't know what to say. He was amazed that this studly boy liked
him.  Nobody comparable to Jeremy had ever liked him on Earth. He broke
into a bashful smile and blushed a deep red.

When they got to Warren's room, Jeremy asked Warren if he was going to the
spa in the morning.  Warren said he might if he didn't have to get
naked. Jeremy said he didn't think anybody would have to get naked; they
just could if they wanted to. Then Warren asked Jeremy if he was going.

"Sure I am. It's going to be a major thing. Why wouldn't I go?"

"Some people think that if you go you're for Robert Charles and if you
don't you're for Douglas."

"I haven't decided who I'm for. All I know is Mike supports Douglas and
that bugs me. I still think Mike hit Ryan and that he is dangerous. I think
he's got everybody fooled. He's going to get somebody else soon, you wait
and see."

Warren nodded and keyed in his code. He looked back at Jeremy, smiled, and
walked into his cabin. Jeremy headed for his cabin, ready to take care of
the boner that touching Warren created.

When Jeremy got to his cabin, he saw Ryan lying naked on the bed, sound
asleep. Jeremy kept looking at him while he undressed. He loved looking at
Ryan. Ryan was really hot, and it was fun having him as a roommate,
especially now that they'd jacked off together.  But somehow, of the two
quiet boys in his life, Warren did something to his heart that Ryan
didn't. It was like Ryan was cute, but Warren was hot. Pretty soon Jeremy
was naked, lying on his back on his bed, wishing he could put Ryan's dick
in his mouth. But as he jacked off his thoughts were on Warren. He wanted
to see Warren naked and hard.  He shot his cum over his chest and belly.

Meanwhile, Warren had gotten into his pajamas and was jacking off too. He
thought of Jeremy's strong arms around him, hugging him. He imagined what
his hard dick must be like.  He thought of Jeremy naked, and of him being
naked with him. He cummed into his PJs, getting them all sticky inside.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mike, Brandon, Alex, and Stevie were the only ones left in the games
room. The little kids had gone a long time ago. The room was going to be
closed soon, but until it was they were going to sit on a couple of couches
and talk. The seating ended up different from what was in their minds when
they walked over there. Instead of the two brothers sitting together, Alex
ended up sitting with Mike and Brandon ended up sitting with Stevie.

"It looks like Scooter and Douglas really like each other," Alex said. Alex
was never afraid to say what was on his mind.

Mike looked a little confused. "Like each other? You mean, like friends?"

"I was thinking of a little more than that," Alex replied.

Mike felt his face turning hot. "You mean, like.....? No."

"Yes. And why not? It's no big deal. Me and Stevie are both gay." And with
that Alex became the first boy on the "Starkeeper" to come out. He said it
like it was no big deal.

"Gay? You two? But you don't...like do stuff, right?"

"Sure we do. Why not?"

"You're brothers."

"So? It's not like we're going to get married or have kids or
anything. It's no big deal.  We'd both like to have somebody else in our
lives, but we love each other a lot. Stevie and I are very close. VERY
close.  But someday we both would like to have our own boyfriend, which
wouldn't stop us from loving each other. Our love for each other is
endless. Right, brother?"

Stevie nodded yes. Then he added, "Alex and I know the look. We saw it with
Scooter and Douglas. They have the look. You watch them real close."

Brandon didn't say anything. Even though he and Scooter had only jacked off
together when he lived on Earth, he knew there was more to Scooter than
just messing around.  Just like there was more to him than just messing
around.

"Alex, I can't believe you can just come out and say you're gay," Mike
said. "I mean in most places on Earth being gay not a huge deal, but with
some people it still is."

"Believe me, Mike, me and Stevie can take care of ourselves. Against
anybody."

Mike, who was almost as big as Stevie and Alex put together, believed
it. He knew Alex wasn't putting him on. Suddenly he wanted very badly to
tell Alex how he felt.  He wanted to tell Alex what was deep inside of
him—to tell him everything. He trusted Alex totally. He had feelings for
Alex. Were they the kind of feelings Alex thought Scooter and Douglas had
for each other? And more importantly, did Alex feel that way about him?
Mike was always doubting himself, afraid of losing any friends he had. But
Alex had stood behind him all through the entire Ryan affair. He knew
Stevie would go along with whatever Alex said. He didn't know Brandon well
enough to be able to read what he thought, and right then it really didn't
make much difference.

"Alex," he whispered, his heart thumping with fear and dread.

"Yes, Mike?" Alex saw that something was really on Mike's mind. If he was
about to hear an antigay remark, he was ready to challenge it.

Mike felt the fear inside him. It was the kind of fear that always held him
back from his friends. It had kept him from being as close to Zach as he
wanted to be. He was about ready to say something lame instead of what was
really on his mind when he thought, No, not this time. This time I'm not
going to be a wimp.

"I think I'm like you...." There. He said it. He came out with it. He
waited to see what Alex was going to say.

Alex smiled at him. "Mike, that's great!!! Because I really like you,
too. I mean really, really like you."

"You do?"

Alex patted Mike's knee. "I do."

"So would it bug anybody if I said I really like Brandon?" Stevie asked.

Brandon was stunned. He stared at Stevie. "You do?"

"Yeah."

"Wow, because, Stevie, I really like you too."

Now all three of them looked at Mike. "What are you looking at? I was going
to say it.  And I'm going to mean it. Alex, I really like you too."

All four of them started laughing hard and Alex hugged Mike while Stevie
hugged Brandon.

"You guys want to spend the night in our cabin tomorrow?" Alex asked.

Mike looked at Brandon who looked at Stevie.

"I think that would be great," Mike said.

They got up to go back to their cabins.

"Are you going to the spa in the morning?" Mike asked everybody. "I think
you guys know my answer."

Alex and Stevie said they were. They were curious and wanted to see what
was going on with the "other side." Brandon said he wasn't sure yet.

When the boys got to their cabins they pulled off their clothes to take
care of hard dicks.  With Mike and Brandon it was about
masturbating. Brandon liked humping his pillow until he cummed all over his
sheets. Mike just lay back on his back and did it with his right
fist. Neither one could believe they said what they had said in the games
room, but both of them were happy they did it.  They couldn't wait until
the next night with Alex and Stevie.

For Alex and Stevie getting naked meant sex with each other. They made
sweet love. The two brothers loved each other beyond imagining. But as much
as they loved each other, they were happy that the other brother might be
finding a boyfriend. And both of them were beginning to wonder if just
about every boy on the "Starkeeper" was gay.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Travis was doing his favorite JO with his legs up. He was thinking about
what happened in the room with Carmen. He pictured himself standing in
front her, shirtless, in his undies with his pants at his ankles, a big
precum spot in the front of his briefs, his boner shrinking fast as he
looked at a girl getting naked in front of him for the first time ever.
Carmen pulled her panties down and stepped out of them, totally naked,
telling him to take his undies down. She walked over to him as he stood
there frozen looking at her.  She had a few pubic hairs, and small
breasts. She tugged his undies down to his knees.  Instead of standing
there all hot and hard, he was embarrassed, his dick shriveling up. She
touched the fuzz over his dick, then touched his dick. He told her again he
had to go, pushed her hand away, pulled up his undies, reached down and
pulled up his pants, and donned his shirt while she kept asking him what he
was doing. He said he wasn't feeling well and wasn't in the mood. As he
walked out the door, she stood there naked, yelling that he was like all
the rest of the boys on this "fucking fag ship".  Now he was ready to cum
over his face and it wasn't Carmen he was thinking about as he started
squirting. It was Ryan.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In Engineering an assistant Engineer was checking on the Warp
Enhancer. Someone called to him and asked him to take a look at a fuel feed
that he thought was a little slow.  The assistant Engineer walked over to
look, and while he was gone the temperature gauge on the Warp Enhancer
moved quickly up, came just short of the red area, and dropped back down.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When morning came everybody was happy it was Saturday. No school was
scheduled.

Travis woke up wishing he was with Ryan. Ryan woke up hard wishing he was
with Travis.

Jeremy woke up with a boner. He was wondering if Ryan was awake and wanted
to jack off.

Alex and Stevie woke up wrapped in each other's arms. They reiterated once
again how much they loved each other.

Douglas was awakened by a kiss from Scooter. He wanted to roll over and
sleep, but when he saw the look in Scooter's eyes, all he could do was kiss
him back. Suddenly the sheets were thrown off and the two boys were humping
and kissing until Doug's cum was flying over Scooter's dick, belly, and
smooth pubic area.

Robert Charles woke up thinking of Lisa and what he wished would've
happened the night before and what didn't happen. Girls. He hated them
sometimes. He was ready to get everything he wanted from her, when she
stopped and cut him off. Both of them were in their underwear and he was
ready to pull her panties off, when she pushed him away.  He tried to pull
off her panties one more time, but she said no. He started to pull off his
own briefs so she could see him naked, but she said she wanted to stop. She
was getting scared. Robert Charles wanted sex, but he figured if he waited
and worked at it, he would get what he wanted real soon. Besides, her
parents would be back soon, so he probably should stop. This time. As much
as he didn't want to, he said ok, and kissed her and told her he had to
go. He got back to his room and jacked off hard, thinking of what he would
do with Lisa next time.

Jordan woke up feeling horrible. He had taken Matthew to his room after
they left the games room. He and the little ten-year-old had gotten naked
and sucked each other off twice in a side-by-side 69 position.  It had been
so wonderful. He finally sent Matthew off to his room. He vowed sex with
Matthew was way better than jacking off. He had gotten his finger way up
Matthew's ass as they sucked each other. He hoped he could stick something
else up the young boy's ass soon.

Then he snuck into his dad's alcohol supply and got some whiskey, drinking
it down until he was drunk on his ass. He crawled into the bathroom and
started puking in the toilet, hoping his dad wouldn't come home before he
was done. After several heaves, he stopped puking and managed to crawl back
to his bed and get in before he passed out.

Jordan got up out of bed in the morning, went into the bathroom, and
started puking again.

Warren was awakened by his intercom buzzing. It was Jeremy asking if he
wanted to go to the spa. Warren thought of seeing Jeremy naked and got
hard. But he was not ready to get up, so he said no, and rolled over and
went back to sleep.

Ryan woke up when Jeremy started talking to Warren. Jeremy noticed that
Ryan was awake and asked if he wanted to go to the spa. Ryan wondered if
Travis would be there, and thought, that he might as well go just in case
Travis showed up. He told Jeremy he would go with him.

Matthew got up and peed, then went back to bed and fell asleep.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Robert Charles got to the spa at 10:00 and opened it up. So far nobody was
there. Well, it was early, and he had it for 2 hours. It was the only time
he could get it because adults had it reserved in the afternoon, and his
dad had to work hard to get this time for him.

He hoped everyone wanted to be naked. He took off his clothes, and looked
at his good- sized dick. I'm fourteen and hung, he thought. I want all
those little boys to see my big dick with all of its hair, he thought. He
also thought of Lisa naked in the spa and he hoped she would show up. He
thought how close he had come to getting her naked last night. His dick
started rising. He stood in front of the mirror watching it go up to full
hardness. Jeremy arrived and commented on what he saw.

"Nice."

Robert Charles jumped at the voice. He looked and saw Jeremy
grinning. "God, you scared me."

"Something got you hot?"

"Just thinking of last night," Robert Charles said. He gave a big smile.

"Did you do her?"

Robert Charles didn't say a word. He just kept grinning.

Jeremy got undressed and he also had a boner, but it wasn't from thinking
about a girl. He was thinking about Robert Charles's big dick and about
Warren.

The boys went into the sauna and waited to see who else would show up. Both
casually played with their erections.

Jeremy wanted to jack off in front of Robert Charles and he wanted to watch
Robert Charles do it. He was just slowly stroking himself wishing Ryan had
come, but he was ready to step up the pace at any time.

Ryan said he was coming, and then he wasn't. Then he said he would
come. Jeremy offered to go with him, but Ryan said he would go to the spa
on his own. Then he said he was sleepy and didn't feel well. While Jeremy
wished Ryan would make up his mind, he was also worried about
Ryan. Something was bugging him and he needed to find out what. He also
needed to get Warren out of his shell.

While Jeremy was thinking and stroking, Travis walked in. Travis was naked
as well, but didn't have a boner. Once he saw the erections on Jeremy and
Robert Charles, though, his young teen penis started working its way up all
by itself. He sat on a bench next to Jeremy and they both looked over at
Robert Charles's nice-sized cock and watched him lightly stroking it.

"How did things go with Carmen?" Robert Charles asked.

"We just talked and stuff. What about you and Lisa?"

Robert Charles didn't say anything. He just smiled and stroked himself real
hard for a couple of strokes. Travis thought he got the picture. Robert
Charles went all the way, while he got scared and ran away. Some stud he
was.

Travis was fully hard now. Alex and Stevie arrived next. Alex was a little
surprised to see the three boys stroking themselves, but it sure didn't
take long for both of them to get just as hard.  Now five of them were
sitting on the benches with boners.

Before they got into further conversation, Brandon entered. He was naked
too, since that is what everybody had talked about sitting naked in the
sauna. He saw that everybody was not only naked but hard as well, which
quickly excited him.

But before they could get used to each other, Lisa and Carmen walked
in. They were naked but had towels wrapped around their waists. Lisa sat
next to Robert Charles. She was so amazed to see all of the boys with
erections. She had never seen a naked boy except for her brother Matthew
before, and now the room was full of them, all with boners.

"Well, it's nice to see you can get it up," Carmen said looking at Travis's
boner. Lisa giggled, and Travis got super embarrassed.

"You have a little trouble last night?" Robert Charles smirked.

"It's none of your business."

Lisa and Carmen were both giggling. Travis was furious. Girls! Fuck 'em!
And he didn't mean in bed.

He glared at Carmen, his boner going down. He got up and left the sauna and
went into the locker room. He pulled on his clothes and left.

"That was very mean of you, Carmen," Alex said.

"I was just kidding with him."

"I don't care. It was still very mean and spiteful."

"He should be able to take a joke," Robert Charles said. By now all the
boners had started to fade. The place didn't seem so sexy now even with
everybody naked.

Finally Robert Charles broke the silence. "Everybody like the sauna? You
can use the wading pool, too, you know. I got it all for us until noon. And
if you elect me on Wednesday, I know I can get it for us a lot, maybe even
after school like somebody else didn't do."

"Let's not get nasty now, Robert Charles," Alex said. "Douglas tried and
something happened."

"Bullshit, he tried. The rec director himself said he didn't try. You can
go ask him if you want.  Douglas lied, just like his buddy lies when he
says he didn't slug Ryan. They may seem all nice and sweet, but they
aren't. I know I can get things done and I'll be straight with you too." He
had his arm around Lisa. He was the only one left with an erection. "I
figure with you guys all being here, you probably support me." He wondered
where Jordan and Matthew were.  It would look better with two more votes
sitting in the sauna.

"RC, I wouldn't vote for you to clean up the toilets. I'm here to enjoy the
sauna and so is Stevie.  But the smell in here is getting real strong all
of a sudden. I think we're going to follow Travis."  Alex and Stevie got
up. "Oh, and about Mike. Mike is a big gentle giant.  He wouldn't hurt a
fly on the wall. So don't tell me Mike slugged Ryan. I think you'd better
look someplace else."

After Alex and Stevie left the sauna, Robert Charles looked at the
others. "You guys feel the same way?"

"I don't know," Jeremy said. "I think Mike probably did hit Ryan. And I
know Douglas is lying."

Brandon didn't say anything. He knew his old buddy Scooter was falling for
Douglas.  And he knew Scooter would never fall for somebody who was a liar
and a cheater. But he wasn't sure what to say, because he knew he couldn't
say that.

Lisa said, "Me and Carmen are with you. We're like both your girls you
know." Robert Charles rubbed the inside of her thigh under the towel that
was still draped across her privates. Man he'd like to take her right here,
right in front of everybody left in the sauna.

Brandon was feeling real uncomfortable. He said he'd better go and get
ready for lunch, which they all knew was a lie because lunch wasn't for
another hour. He got up and left.  Only Robert Charles, Jeremy, Lisa, and
Carmen remained.

Robert Charles was irked. He wasn't sure what everybody getting up to leave
meant as far as his votes were concerned. But he was smart enough to know
trouble when he saw it, and this was trouble.

Including him, seven people had come to the sauna.  Alex and Stevie already
said they wouldn't vote for him. He could add Jordan and Matthew to take
their place. Travis he didn't know about. Brandon he wasn't sure
about. Ryan would stick with Mike, no matter how much he tried to convince
people Mike punched Ryan. Scooter was with Douglas.  Lisa, Carmen, and
Felicia were his. Michelle was a mystery person. Jeremy he was pretty sure
about and he hoped Jeremy could deliver Warren. Suddenly he realized he was
only sure of five votes. Five and he needed nine.  Well, he did know this
much: there was more than one way to get a vote. Right now he could tell he
was in trouble. But he also knew who would be in trouble on Wednesday, and
it wouldn't be him.

Next: The Election.
