Chapter 68

Flashback – Ben – Junior High School

While I felt sadness that I didn't blow up the school along with everyone in it (including myself), I accomplished one thing: School was closed for two glorious weeks! You might think that being around dad so much was a bad thing, but if I did what he ordered me to do he didn't beat me. While at school there was no way for me to escape the daily tortures received from the other students.

Things were a now little different between dad and me, I noticed it the same night I made my attempt to blow up the school. We were sitting at the dinner table and dad asked (it shocked me because we never talked at the dinner table), "Tell me shithead, how did you try to blow up the school?"

I looked at him blinked a couple times - this couldn't be my dad. He demanded, "What the hell is wrong with you! Do you have beans in your ears? Now answer my God damned question!"

I hesitantly replied, "I threw twice the normal amount of coal in the furnace and then put about fifty aerosol cans in it along with some chemicals that made it smell like rotten eggs."

He stared at me and I could tell he was thinking. He then asked, "So what happened?"

I played with my food a little and answered, "Well, the furnace belched out a lot of smoke and the foul smell of rotten eggs."

Dad laughed, "I bet it made some of the students sick as hell."

I laughed, "Yes Sir! Some of the girls even threw up."

He slapped his leg and laughed for about a minute, then said, "You should have known shithead that the aerosol cans wouldn't blow up the school. You should have gone to the old mine, found some of the old dynamite that's laying around there and used it."

I couldn't believe this was my dad, so I questioned, "Are you telling me I can try again?"

He glared at me and stated, "Hell no! Vern has your number and he will be watching you like a hawk."

That reminded me of something so I asked, "Dad, you implied that Vern and Erv had a relationship, is that true?"

He looked at me and replied, "Shithead remember Vern was in my class in school and it was well known he liked boys and not girls."

I felt brave so I asked one more question, "So why is it that Vern hates me so much."

Dad laughed again (it was really strange to hear him laugh), "Hell he doesn't hate you, he hates me and takes it out on you. You see I caught him one day when he was forcing a little boy to suck his cock, I beat the shit out of him for it and told him if he ever did it again I would cut his dick off."

Well that was news to me...

However the new found accolades from dad for trying to blow up the school didn't last. But that didn't matter since I had his praise for a few days.

The FBI and the sheriff's department never did discover it was me that tried to destroy the school. The case was closed and the end of our two glorious weeks of extra vacation also came to an end.

It was our first day back at school and the first thing we had was a school assembly. We trudged into the cold as heck gymnasium, took our seats and Stern Vern began the announcements, "First I'd like to welcome all the students back to school. Now while you might have thought you had an extra two weeks of vacation, you are wrong. We will extend the school year by two weeks to make up for the days missed."

Everyone in the gym moaned and complained until Stern Vern rapped his hand on the podium and continued, "The school cannot afford to replace the furnace, so we have been searching for replacement parts for our existing furnace. Until those are found we will have a very limited number of space heaters in the class rooms. I would suggest that you dress warmly until we can find the parts."

There were more complaints and murmuring. Stern Vern slammed his hand on the podium and continued, "While the FBI and sheriff's department couldn't discover who tried to blow up the school, they are convinced it was one of you - yes that's right one of the students. Just know that we will be watching and next time we will catch the culprit."

He looked directly at me and I didn't like it at all. He finished by saying, "Students, unfortunately we had to fire Ervin the janitor for incompetence. I'd like to introduce you to our new janitor, his name is Sam."

Hearing that Erv was fired made me feel a little sick to my stomach; I sure didn't want him to lose his job.

Later that day a group of us snuck back into the gym, went up on stage and discovered the peep hole into the girl's shower had vanished, just like Erv...

Then I heard, what the hell! "Clear?"

Flashback – Jens

I woke up very early and had a great idea on how to control Ben's Major, but this was going to take major work. I logged into my computer and worked like crazy. Finally I was able to do what I wanted to do. I crawled back into bed and fell asleep thinking 'Mess with the best, die like the rest'.

Flashback – Major M – Russia

We finally landed in Russia and I had talked the flight attendant into quite a few more little bottles of bourbon. I wasn't feeling any pain, in fact there was so much eye candy around I was beginning to think I might actually enjoy Russia.

That was until I walked down the jet way and saw what looked to be a small army. When they saw me, one of them in a suit stepped forward and ordered, "Major, do not resist us or we will shoot you. Now turn around and put your hands on your head."

I complained, "Look, I don't know what's going on but I have a diplomatic passport."

The man continued, "Which was revoked by your country while you were in flight because you are a known terrorist."

I sputtered, the men aimed their weapons at me, then I decided I'd better comply. I turned around and put my hands on my head. The man came up, handcuffed me and I was led away. How the hell did this happen? I bet it was the doing of the Old Man...
