Chapter 4
Early Tuesday morning, Trey was up and doing his forms. Then he went to the gym, did his new hockey weight workout, and showered and dressed. Trey turned on the computer and checked his emails. There wasn’t anything important, so he did his online college course homework. Then he reviewed the programming jobs he did for Jacob, and he became concerned. They could be used for medical or weapon development, so Trey emailed Jacob and asked for an in-person meeting. He shut off the computer and went to the kitchen.
He took his vitamins and drank the protein with breakfast. His grandmother and Mom asked why he was doing this, and Trey said the Washington Capitals’ trainer recommended he add some bulk and muscle for hockey season. The finished breakfast and semi-tractor and trailer arrived. Jarrett Brook, the movie director, and Ed Graves, the producer, introduced themselves to Grandmother and Mom. Then the crew set up the cameras and lights on the range by the trees. Trey was taken to the trailer and outfitted with jeans, boots, a hat, a duster, and a gun belt, all in black. The clothes didn’t fit perfectly, but it was good enough. Then they asked him to get his firearms and his horse.
Trey saddled Blackie, and Jarrett told Trey to ride the silhouette targets, dismount with his rifle, and shoot them. He was supposed to stop 25 yards before the target for rifle shooting, then walk towards the targets and shoot them with his revolver. Trey did it, and they checked the targets. Then, they replaced the targets and repeated the exercise three times. Uncle Jack arrived for the riding phase of the audition, and everyone met afterwards.
Jarrett Brook, the movie director, and Ed Graves, the producer, said they wanted to offer Trey a part in the movie and gave them the contract to review. They also gave them an application for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) to fill out immediately and send in. Uncle Jack said he would have our attorney review the contract and notify them when it’s complete. Jarrett asked for Trey’s email address so that he could forward his itinerary for the wardrobe fitting and the shooting schedule. They packed up and left.
Everyone gathered at the kitchen table and read the contract. Uncle Jack said he saw no problems with it but would have his attorney do a rush review. Grandmother asked about supervision on the movie set and who would do it. Uncle Jack said he’ll tell the attorney about it and add a clause to the contract. He also said we need a clause if your part expands to more than a bit part. After seeing your audition, they may involve you more in the movie.
When Uncle Jack left, Trey went to the garage and mixed the bullet formula developed by Jackson Strong. Then he washed the F250 and the mule. He put the formula into the airless sprayer and coated both vehicles and a piece of plywood. Trey was going to test the formula with his rifle and pistol. After cleaning the airless sprayer, he put everything away and returned to his room. Trey checked his email, and nothing from Jacob yet. The longer he waits to reply, the more suspicious I become.
Trey shut off the computer and went to the kitchen. While eating dinner, Uncle Jack called and said Ed Graves, the producer, approved their contract changes and would courier the new contract tomorrow. Please sign it and return it immediately in the prepaid FedEx envelope. They are already starting production, so prepare to leave shortly, and he said goodbye. Trey said shit, everything is moving so fast and Grandmother and Mom laughed. Grandmother said When you go, take your golf clubs with you. There will be breaks and golf courses all around Los Angeles.
After dinner, they watched TV for an hour, said goodnight, and went to bed. Trey dreamed that he was exploring his body and making changes. His skin toughened, and his muscles and bones got stronger. Then he studied his mind and opened restricted blood vessels, allowing free blood flow. He examined his eyes and ears and improved them, too. Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Trey woke up early Wednesday morning and did his forms. Then he went to the dojo and did his martial arts workout. He felt lighter on his feet, and his punches and kicks were faster and stronger. While taking a shower, Trey noticed his muscles had more definition and his cock and balls were larger, too. His clothes were too tight when he dressed, so he wore sweats to the kitchen. While they ate breakfast, Trey told Mom he needed new clothes. Everything was too tight.
After breakfast, he got his suits, tux, and laptop, and they drove into town. The tailor said the suits and tux couldn’t be adjusted, so he was remeasured to have them replaced. Then they went to the mall and he got new shirts, jeans, dress pants, and underwear. While Mom and Grandmother shopped, he tapped into the mall’s WIFI and ordered an audio/video and tracking detectors on the dark web. Trey paid for next-day delivery to the drop house.
They ate lunch at the mall food court and then headed home. When they arrived, Mom and Grandmother started washing his new clothes. He went to the stable, saddled Blackie, and they went for a ride. After caring for Blackie Trey tested the bullet formula on the plywood piece. He shot it with his rifle and revolver, and there was little damage to the plywood. Trey figured metal would respond better, but the formula worked. then he went upstairs and checked his email. Still nothing from Jacob, and he went to the kitchen.
The contract arrived, and they reviewed it. Uncle Jack’s lawyer inserted several clauses that protected him. Mom signed the contract, filled out the SAG application with a check, and took it to the FedEx drop box. On the way home, he called Uncle Jack and said he’d come into work tomorrow. They had a clothing issue; he could fit into his clothes. Uncle Jack laughed and said tomorrow was ok, and they hung up.
When he arrived home, they ate dinner. Trey asked Grandmother and Mom if they were coming to LA for his film shoot. They said no, but the studio would have an assistant with you on the set. Mom said she and Uncle Jack may visit on the weekends. Trey said, “Great, he could party in the evening and on the weekend,” and everyone laughed. Mom and Grandmother watched TV after dinner, and Trey went to his room and checked his email. There was an email from the film producer with his itinerary. He was flying to LA Friday at 6 a.m. for his wardrobe fitting. The filming started on Monday, and he had a choice of staying or returning on Monday morning. Trey said shit, he might as well stay and avoid two long flights. He shut off the computer and went to bed.
The next morning, Trey completed his forms, went to the gym, and did his hockey weight workout. Then he showered, dressed, and checked his email. He still hadn’t heard from Jacob, so there was no more programming for him. Trey shut off the computer and went to the kitchen. He took his vitamins and drank the protein during breakfast. Trey told Grandmother and Mom about his wardrobe fitting on Friday and the movie shoot starting Monday. They agreed it would be better to stay than fly back and forth.
After breakfast, Trey went by the vacant farmhouse and parked 100 yards away. He hopped the fence and entered from the rear of the house. He picked up the package and dove to the convenience store. Trey opened the package, removed a tacker, and put it into the bed of a pickup truck nearby. He returned home and packed for his trip. The audio/video detector and 20k in cash were going into his checked luggage. He’d have $2000 cash in his carry-on bag. Then he ordered a Lyft ride to the airport at 4 a.m.
When he was done packing, Trey ate lunch and then went to Uncle Jack’s company. He helped the IT techs with a server problem and then helped out in the lab. At the end of the day, Trey went to Uncle Jack’s office and told him about the movie schedule. Uncle Jack said he suspected they would start soon and told Trey they would visit him next weekend. Trey said he’s bringing his golf club to play during breaks. Uncle Jack said that’s a good idea, and he’ll bring his when they visit.
They shook hands goodbye, and Trey headed home. Dinner was ready when he arrived, so they sat and ate. Trey’s mind-reading had improved since his dream, and he read Mom and Grandmother unconsciously. They were thinking about Mom’s wedding and marriage to Uncle Jack. He suspected it in South Carolina, and it didn’t bother him. Uncle Jack was more like his father than his late Dad. After dinner, they watched TV for an hour, then went to bed.
Trey woke up at 2 a.m. and did his forms, then went to the dojo and did his martial arts workout. Returning to his room, showered, dressed, and moved his luggage to the front door. His Lift driver arrived on time, and they went to the airport. He checked his bags, went through security, and had 45 minutes before his flight. So, he went to the newsstand and bought a book on poker and two decks of cards. Then Trey went to the gate clerk and asked to upgrade to first class. He palmed the clerk a $100 and she gladly upgraded him.
Boarding started, and he was the only one in first class. His flight attendant was Stacy, a good-looking blonde with a nice figure. The flight took off, and Stacy asked him why he was going to Los Angeles. Trey told her he got a part in a Western movie but was worried. The part requires him to kiss a saloon girl, and he’s never kissed a girl before. Stacy laughed, and Trey asked if she would coach him. Stacy looked behind the curtain at the coach class and sat beside him. Stacy began with the basics, and then we progressed to using tongues.
When we were done, Stacy said she needed to change her panties and left laughing, fanning her face. She returned with his breakfast, and Trey gave her $200 and said he appreciated her help. Then he asked if he got a completion certificate, and Stacy left laughing. When Stacy returned to take his breakfast tray away, Stacy warned Trey to be careful with his tongue. He has a long tongue, so be cautious and do not stick it down the girl’s throat. Your long tongue is okay in other places, and Stacy left laughing again.
They landed at LAX, and the flight attendants smiled and giggled as he left. A town car awaited him at baggage claim, loaded his bags, and drove to Universal Studios. Trey checked in at the guard shack and received a welcome packet with his studio ID on a lanyard. A golf cart picked him up and took him to his trailer. Trey put his bags and golf clubs inside, and then they went to the wardrobe department.
Three ladies measured him from his head to his feet. Then, he tried on clothes, boots, chaps, dusters, hats, and accessories. They took an hour-long lunch break and finished at 3 p.m. Then, an Indian woman entered and measured him for skins. Trey asked what skins were, and she said, “You’ll find out.” Then, she left laughing. He returned to his trailer and swept it for audio bugs and cameras. He found two bugs and three cameras. One in a wall clock, one in the bedroom alarm clock, and one in the bathroom. Trey removed the bugs and cameras and put them under his mattress. Then he Googled metal foot lockers and found a store four miles away with them in stock.
Trey ordered a Lift ride, went to the store, bought the locker and padlock, and returned to his trailer. He put the bugs, cameras, and his valuables into the foot locker and locked it. Then he put it into his closet and unpacked. When he was done, Trey went to the canteen and ate dinner. Then, on his way back to his trailer, he toured the trailer park. Trey sensed all the trailers, and one had four large monitors and a desk in the living room. No one was inside, so he tried to open the door, and it was unlocked.
When he entered, Trey saw the monitors had pictures of the insides of trailers. He went to the stove in the kitchen, turned a burner to low, blew out the flame, and returned to his trailer. An hour later, there was a loud explosion, and everyone was outside looking at the remains of the destroyed trailer. The fire department arrived first and put the fire out. Then the police came and took witness statements. One of the crew saw a man enter the trailer, smoking a cigarette. The corner removed the body, and Trey returned to his trailer and went to bed.
Early Saturday morning, Trey did his forms, showered, dressed, and looked up nearby golf courses online. The Lakeside golf course had the best reviews, so he went to the canteen for breakfast and ordered a Lyft ride to the golf course. He met the Lyft driver at the gate and went to the golf course. Trey went to the Pro Shop and asked about the price of a month’s pass. They didn’t have one, but the clerk agreed to $200 cash and issued Trey a membership card. He got a bucket of balls and a course guide, warmed up on the practice range, and then went to the starting line.
No one was waiting, so he teed off. The course wasn’t as nice or difficult as the ones he played with Uncle Jack, but it would do to keep in shape. Trey shot a four-under par and was happy with his score. Lyft gave him a ride back to Universal Studios, and he returned to his trailer. Trey put his clubs away and went to the canteen for lunch. While eating, he read the people’s minds nearby, and the trailer that exploded belonged to assistant producer Murray Deeks. Nobody liked him, and Murray kept hitting women in the crew.
The movie director, Jarrett Brook, entered the canteen as Trey ate and told him to go to the wardrobe for his final fitting. The three ladies welcomed Trey, and he tried on his wardrobe. Everything fit fine, then the Indian woman entered, and he had to try on his skins. There were two pairs, and she said to wear them in the shower and let them dry on him. Trey returned to his trailer wearing a pair of skins and got into the shower. Then he walked around the back of the trailers until he was dry. Trey returned to his trailer, looked in the mirror, and said Oh my god, you can see everything. He hoped he would be filmed while riding a horse and not walking around wearing these.
