Chapter 12
Michael was still sitting there when there came a second knock on the door. This time he got up and walked over opening it he saw Mr. Dalliard standing there with the sheriff. "Good morning Michael, it is a wonderful day isn't it?"
"Depends?"
"Well you can sit back and relax, the warrant has been withdrawn, The Judge in Texas is going to be asking the D.A there why she decided to issue it."
"Good, does that mean I can go swimming and be a kid again?"
"Yes it does. Great if I need you sir I will call, and sheriff I am sorry you got caught in this mess."
"So am I son, but you have to know I was just doing my job."
"I do."
As soon and the sheriff and lawyer had left Michael locked the doors and took Scott up to his bedroom where for the next two hours they made love. Sweaty and out of breath the two laid on the damp bed cuddled together. The phone broke the mood with its constant ringing.
"Yeah what can't I do for you?"
In San Antonio, Texas the screaming coming from the district attorney's office was loud. Nadine Brookmier was mad, she had just been informed that her warrant to have Michael brought to Texas had been squashed. Nadine wanted Michael in Texas, and she always got her way. Grabbing her phone she dialed Michael's number and after hearing it ring five times it was finally answered. Before Michael could say a word Nadine started yelling at him. "Mr. Caine, I do not appreciate being told that you are not coming to Texas."
"Good morning to you, also Miss Brookmier."
"No it isn't now I want you here by three this afternoon or I will file charges against you for complicity."
"In what?"
"In the rape and murder of your own brother."
"Ma'am I don't know what game you're playing, but you had the tape with Heilman's confession; you let him out on bail, which should never have happened. You failed to do your job and now you expect me to come back there and do your work for you well forget it."
"Mr. Caine are you refusing to help in this investigation?"
"I think that is a good way of putting it. Now if you don't mind I have company here and well it is rude to be on the phone with people around."
"Very well expect the Miami state police to be there in a few hours."
"Don't threaten me ma'am you will lose, now good bye."
Hanging up Michael rolled over and again made love to Scott, and then it was into a shower and dressing they headed back over to Scott's. Richie was waiting for them when they came in. "Scott mom is in the kitchen, she has some snacks ready, but tell me how did it go this morning."
"Great, Michael's lawyer did a number on the sheriff, then some woman called and tried to threaten him, but it didn't work."
"So what took so long, or should I ask?"
"Nope, come on I am hungry."
The rest of the morning and half the afternoon the three boys sat and played PS3. There game was interrupted when Mrs. P came in and said that the police were here and looking for Michael. Standing Michael walked to the door. "What can I do for you officer?" Michael asked.
"You can come with me, I have a warrant for your arrest the charges are conspiracy to commit rape and murder you're being sent to Texas to stand trial."
"I see, am I allowed to make a couple phone calls before we leave?"
"Sure I can let you do that,"
"Then relax and I will be right out."
Closing the door Michael saw the look of shock on Scott and Richie, "Relax guys, that woman is trying to scare us."
"She is doing a great job."
Taking out his cell phone Michael first called his lawyer, explaining to him what was happening and that he was going to phone detective Johnson as soon as he hung up. With Michael's lawyer telling him to stay calm and do whatever Johnson told him to Michael hung up and immediately called Johnson's number.
"Johnson here."
"Hey sir it is Michael Caine, the D.A out there has had a warrant issued saying that I conspired to commit rape and murder."
"Well you have to obey the law Michael so go with the warrant, I am sure you have talk with your lawyer and he knows what is going on."
"I just spoke with him before calling you."
"Okay, do what the officers tell you."
Two hours later Michael was flying to Texas. The officer with him knew that things were going to be different when they landed. He never spoke with Michael which was good since he wanted time to think.
In Texas, after talking with Michael, Johnson drove over to the court house and soon was speaking with the judge that had issued the warrant. The judge soon learn that the D.A had the warrant issued because she wanted to ask him some questions, and had refused to fly to Naples Florida. The judge hearing this called the D A's office and learned that Brookmier was wanting to talk to Mr. Caine and he had refused to come to Texas to meet with her. To the judge that was too much. He then told Johnson; that when Mr. Caine showed up at the airport he was free to do what he wanted, he also told him that if the D. A's office wanted to talk to him they could travel to Florida and talk to him there.
"Thank you sir, I am sure that Michael will be glad to hear that."
"Well just make sure he is free to go back home if he wants. The state police department will pay for the flight."
" I will tell him that."
At the airport Michael was just walking the concourse when he saw Johnson walking towards him.
"Johnson what are you doing here?"
" I came to tell you that you can do what ever you want, the judge said you can go back home, the D. A's office has to come to you if they want to talk to you."
"Good get me on a flight back. I am pissed off enough as it is."
"Okay here the flight leaves in ten minutes. Officer take the cuffs off him."
"Yes sir, and Mr. Caine I am sorry."
"I know just doing your job."
"I'm glad you understand."
The flight back was one of nerves for Michael he knew that he would have to catch a cab back home, but he knew he could do it. The nice thing is he had money at home and as soon as he landed he was going to call Scott and have him meet at the house. It was seven pm when Michael finally landed back in Naples. Stopping at a phone he called the Archers home and told Scott and Richie that he would be home shortly and he needed some of the cash he had in his desk drawer.
After paying off his cab Michael walked into his house and closed the door. Peter Richie and Scott were standing there smiles on their faces. "Okay you guys what's up?"
"Can we spend the night?" Peter asked.
"Sure, just don't get to loud, I need some sleep."
"Uh huh, you sleep when Scott's here, I doubt that very much." Richie snickered.
"Actually we do sleep a lot more than you two do. Now Richie order us some pizzas I am starved."
" Okay."
The night lasted forever as Richie and Peter were louder than normal keeping Scott and Michael awake to about two in the morning. The next morning Michael vowed he would get even with the two. He was making breakfast when he got the idea. Making up some waffles he made Scott's and his separate then did up the other two's with a couple sleeping pills mixed in. Laughing Michael thought that this would keep them quiet for a few hours. Scott came in and ate the waffles Michael had made for him, Scott was just finishing when Richie and Peter came in. "Hungry guys?"
"Starved." They both replied, only half awake.
"Okay here eat up then you can go back to bed for a while looks like you need it."
"Kinda."
With Richie and Peter back in bed sound asleep, Michael and Scott had a long hot shower. "How long you think they will sleep Michael?"
"Oh I would say another five hours."
"Oh really?"
"Yup, now let's go out and have some fun, I want to see about finding a new boat, sorta a birthday present for myself."
"Kewl; can I help?"
"Sure I mean you will be spending time on it also."
It was three in the afternoon when Scott and Michael showed back up at home Peter and Richie were sitting watching TV when they walked in. "You guys have a good sleep?"
"You're a prick Michael."
"What did I do?"
"You spiked our waffles this morning."
"Well that should teach you not to be so loud at night."
"Oh just you wait, I'll get even with you." Peter smiled.
"Come on guys lighten up, beside we have mom coming to pick us all up shortly so let's get dressed and ready." Richie spoke up.
"Yeah your right, I almost forgot about that." Scott interrupted. "Let move it."
After changing Michael met up with the others. "Guy's where we going. I had planned on a quiet night at home."
"There is no way that we are going to let out brother sit at home alone on a Saturday night." Peter spoke up.
"Yeah, besides what is better than being with your best buds. Besides that you haven't really had a night out in over a year so relax and enjoy."
"Your right, I guess it's just, well forget it, lets go." Michael whispered.
Mrs. P was in the driveway waiting for the three boys as Michael locked up. With Richie in the front seat Scott and Michael buckled in the back they left. Twenty minutes later they were pulling into a fancy restaurant. Michael could see the place was packed and wondered if they were ever going to get a seat.
"Come on boys we have five minutes to make our reservation." Mrs. P spoke up from the front seat."
Walking in the maitre'd showed us to one of the large dinning rooms. "Ma'am I do hope this is what you needed?"
" It is perfect sir, and thank you, Peter you and the boys go on in and find your table."
"Yes ma'am"
Waiting till the boys had left she turned back to the Maitre'd the rest of our party will be showing up soon can you show them the way please."
"Yes ma'am and please wish Mr. Caine a happy birthday from the staff here also."
"I will."
All too soon the dinning room was packed with adults and kids. The waiters brought in plate after plate of dinners all preapproved. Michael's table was the center of attention as the four quietly talked. With the plates cleared the sound system was turned on and David walked onto the stage. "Can I have your attention please?" He waited till everyone was quiet. "Today is a special day. We that is everyone here has come together to wish Michael Caine and very happy birthday. Though he is still as ugly as ever; it is a great day for him. So to Michael, from everyone here we wish you a happy birthday."
The room stood and applauded and all wished Michael a happy birthday. Soon Mrs. P walked on stage. "Everyone please take your seats again, we have a special present for our friend Michael so please would Cory Ashton and Judge Montoya please come forward."
"What's going on Scott?" Michael asked.
"Don't know dude, so just relax."
Michael watched as Judge Montoya and Cory walked up to the stage. Cory who was looking a bit nervous as he tried to smile as he stood beside Michael and Mrs. P. "Michael Caine a happy birthday to you, and I wish you all the best on this day. Again your friends have come to me, and as a special gift to you the courts and the social services are allowing you to adopt Cory Ashton to be your little brother. I know that he will not take the place of Tommy, but I hope that you find the love in your heart to keep Cory happy." The judge spoke a smile on his face.
Cory who was standing beside the judge gasped his mouth dropping open is surprise. "You mean it sir; that I don't have to live in that home no more?"
" Yes son I mean it. Now Cory Caine; I think you should go and join your brother and his friends. And may your life be full."
Cory didn't use the stairs he just flew off the side of the stage and right into Scott and Richie. "Thanks guys, this is the best." Cory whispered.
"Anytime little bro, now go hug Michael." Scott cried."
Michael was sitting there, his eyes full of tears as he heard the words of the judge. Then he had Cory in his lap snuggling tight. "Happy birthday bro." Cory whispered hugging Michael with everything he had.
"Thanks Cory, I didn't know anything about this, but you're the best present I could ever have wanted, next to Tommy's return, but I promise that you will have the best of everything."
"I have the best already."
The rest of the night was a full party. A crew had come in and cleared the tables away from the center of the floor making a dance area. Music was playing and Scott watched as Peter and Richie started dancing to the hoots and laughter of their friends. Soon the floor was full no one caring who danced with who. Scott danced with Michael, Michael danced with Mrs. P and Cory danced with everyone.
Three weeks later after Cory had settled in Mr. Dalliard showed up and told Michael that the insurance company had agreed to pay for a new boat up to the cost of one hundred thousand dollars. To Michael that was good news. Michael also learned that there had been another offer on his Aphex Company this time the offer was twenty five million. Again Michael turned it down by telling his lawyer to tell the people that the company was his mothers, and that there is no way that he was selling it. Another week had gone by Cory was in school and Michael was practicing with the basketball team. It was his last year of school and so he wanted to make it his best to give the school the state championship three years in a row. Then he would start college here so he could be with Cory all the time or until he left for college himself and that was a good seven years away.
At Christmas Michael had asked if Scott could join him and Cory in Texas for the two weeks holiday. Getting Mrs. P's okay, Michael booked a suite first in Houston so they, the three could enjoy a week at Six Flags, then he had another suite set up in San Antonio for them The two weeks were great, Cory enjoying Six Flags a lot and then getting a chance to go horse back riding. It was after Scott and Michael had made love that Michael asked Scott. "What do you say to a large ranch out here some where?" "That would be kewl, but what about mom and Richie, and you know that Richie won't leave Peter."
"So we bring them all?"
"You serious?"
"Very, I know that there is a good school for Cory here and well they have a good college here also for us."
"Sounds good, if you go to college you trying for the basketball team?"
"No, well I don't know yet."
"Well if you do then I know that Richie, Peter and I will."
"Well I will have to think about it."
"Okay, now go to sleep we'll have a turkey waking us early if I know Cory."
"Yeah, though he might wake us when he comes in and snuggles with us tonight."
"True so I guess I had better make room between us for him."
"Yep."
"Michael, I am glad you have Cory in your life, you're so much happier and well it takes your mind off other things."
"I can't forget Tommy, even though Heilman's in jail for rape he will be out soon."
"To bad Naples can't get him."
"They can, it is just that his lawyer is fighting everything."
"We have to get some sleep."
"I know."
Sure enough when Michael woke the next morning Cory was snuggled between him and Scott. Looking over he could see that Scott was awake and he was smiling. Shaking Cory awake, "Come on little guy time to get up and into your shower, our flight leave shortly."
"Awe I'm comfy."
"So am I, but we will be home in a few hours and you can go swimming."
"Okies, Scott you gonna shower with me also?" Cory asked.
"No bro, I think you can do that yourself today."
"Okay. But lets hurry I am hungry."
"Your right I am hungry also, so let's get a move on."
Back in Naples Scott took off for home after he helped Michael and Cory get things in to their home. Cory quickly changed into his swim suit and was soon splashing around in the pool as Michael started the laundry. He was listening to Cory's laughter and then heard it getting louder. Looking out the patio door he saw that Scott, Richie and the rest of the basketball team where there splashing and enjoying the water. Going into the kitchen Michael pulled out three dozen hamburgers and buns then he started two bags of fries and started them in the ovens.
He had the burgers going when Richie walked in the back door. "Hey you wanna hand?"
"Sure, get out the stuff and the grab the lettuce."
Lunch over and everyone relaxing on either the lawn or the patio Michael set the dishes going and soon was sitting on one of the loungers when Cory walked up, climbing onto his lap he laid back and soon was sound asleep the others saw this and smiling Peter came over and gently lifting Cory took him upstairs and laid him out on his bed pulling up a light blanket to keep him warm. Then he joined the others back outside. "Thanks Peter"
"No problem dude, you must have woken him really early."
"We all were up early, I mean look at Scott there he looks ready to start snoring."
"Yeah, but watch this." Grabbing a bucket of pool water he dumped it over Scott and then dropped the bucket and dove head first into the water.
"I'll get you for that Peter, just you wait." Scott yelled as he sat up and shook the water from his face.
Michael didn't know how Cory slept through the laughter; or the noise that followed but he did. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing in the pool and talking. School started Monday and everyone wasn't looking forward to it.
Again Michael took the team to the state championship. Cory had turned eight and Michael was getting ready to graduate. In October the city council had finally decided that Michael could build his amphitheater and the city would set an amount for the price of tickets. When Michael heard that he told them that there is no way that Tommy would want people to pay for music that was full of life. Michael already had bought a thirty acre lot of land and with the go ahead to build it he had the contractors come in and start.
Michael had told the builders that he wanted it ready for a first show by the fourth of July a fitting time for its opening. With the building going, Michael got in contact with David Calruso and Johnson asking them if they could come to the opening. Then he got the high school band, and a few other groups to help with the opening, all agreed to come. The one thing that Michael had told the contractor that there had to be a special place for Tommy's trumpet.
On June thirtieth Michael took Tommy's Trumpet over to the amphitheater and handed it to the contractor.
"Mr. Caine, when you said you wanted a special place for a trumpet I thought you were joking. Now I see you meant it so I will have a place of honor made right away for it."
" Thank you and please have it water proof and so people can see it and know that this is Tommy's place."
"I will do that for you, do you have a picture of Tommy also that we can put behind so people will know who he was."
"Yes I can have and eight by ten brought over this afternoon. Now how is the name coming alone?"
"Great we are keeping it covered until the unveiling on the fourth."
"Thanks, start time will be at eleven in the morning, the time of Tommy's death."
"Very well we will have it all ready, and seats set up for everyone, do you know how many are going to be coming?"
"No, but I want the first two rows reserved."
"I will see to it personally."
"Thanks sir."
"Now get out of here before you put me behind schedule."
