 Chapter 2

 

“I wonder what the lawyer will say to me.” Said Ken as he follows Sam. “I am not too sure. I hope it is good news for you.” Said Sam. They walk in silence for awhile. After a few minutes they are at the lawyer office. They enter the building. Sam asks for the lawyer to the lady at the desk. She shows them in. “I have been expecting you. Mary-Jo called to let me know that you were coming.” Said John to Ken and Sam. “Thanks.” Said Ken. John tells him about the will. Ken was shocked to hear this. “The house that we passed that was my parents?” Ken asks John. “It is your father Trent passed away from a sickness he had. Gail passed away from a broken heart.” Said John as he hands Ken the keys. “They had a butler that they hired to keep the place up. They guessed you might look for them.” Said John

“I guess you want to check it out. But it is getting a bit late. I would check it over tomorrow.”Said Sam. “I agree plus I was driving all day as well. I still don’t believe this as well.” Said Ken as he shakes John’s hand and Sam and Ken leaves. Sam walks Ken to his hotel.  “Here I will give you my number. Call me if you want some company tomorrow.” Said Sam as he writes his number down for Ken. “Ok. Thanks again Sam, I wouldn’t get this far without you.”Said Ken as he shakes Sam hand as Sam leaves. Ken takes a quick shower and watch TV before bed.

(Next day.)

Ken has breakfast before he calls Sam. He pays his bill and finds a phone to call Sam. After a few minutes later Sam is there. “Are you ready?”Sam asks Ken. “Yes I am a bit scared thou.”Replies Ken as they head to the house. “I am sure it will be OK. It is my guess they will left you info about them inside the house. Or the person that works there might know more.” Said Sam as they reached the house. They both look at the house for a few minutes.  Ken sees someone coming towards them “Can I help you gentlemen?” asks the man to them Sam tells him what they learn from the lawyer. “You must be Trent son.” Said the man. “I am.” Said Ken to the man. “I am Mark; I worked for your parents when they lived here. I will show you around the place.” Said Mark as he leads them to the house. “The house is big.” Said Ken as he looks around the place. “It is. Everyone in town loved your parents. There is some information in the library.” Said Mark as he shows them inside the house.

“Thanks. Did you do the garden?” Ken asks Mark.  “Yes I did.” Mark Replies. “It is beautiful. I am not a gardener I want you to stay and look after that if you want.” Said Ken to Mark. “Thanks, your parents loved them too.” Replies Mark. After a five minutes Mark brings them back to the front door. “You can move in any time. I have a place that I live in.” Said Mark to Ken. “Thanks again Mark. Said Ken as Mark leaves.

“You don’t that much to move only the clothes you brought with you.”Said Sam. “Yes and this place are furnished and I like it as well.” Said Ken as he and Sam leaves to back the hotel so Ken can pay his bill and settle into his home. “Thanks for coming with me. It was easier to do it.” Said Ken to Sam. “No problem, Call me if you need anything.” Said Sam as they were back at the house. “I sure will.” Replies Ken as they shake hands. Sam leaves.

 

Ken unpacks his clothes into the bed room and the he heads to the library to check out the books. He has located his parents diary’s he starts reading them to find more info about them.  He is amazed what they did and about this town. After the tenth dairy he read he was amazed there are other people living here as well. “I wonder if Sam or Mark knows about this.” Thought Ken as he puts the diaries back. He heads towards the kitchen once he gets there he was surprised to see Mark there. “I am more than a gardener I also do the cooking as well.” Said Mark to Ken.

“That is good, I am an OK cook. It sure smells good.” Said Ken as he smells the food cooking. “Thanks. I hope you don’t mind.” Said Mark. “No I don’t mind. It will be nice to talk to you and other stuff as well. There are some questions I have.” Said Ken as he tells Mark what he read in the diaries. “The diaries that you read are correct. They hide when there are strangers around. They loved your parents. They will know you are their son once the word goes around. Tell me about yourself?” Mark asks Ken. Ken tells him where he grew up and how his uncle was trying to control him.

“That is really mean. I am glad you got away from him. He put tracer in the car?” Mark asks Ken. “He did on the way here I bought a new car and destroyed the one in my old car. I didn’t take any clothes that had tracers as well. I don’t want to see him or even talk to him at all.” Said Ken. “I don’t blame you there. Supper is ready.” Said Mark as he serves the supper. They head to the dining room. Mark tells him more about the town. “You are saying the males can get pregnant?” Ken asks Mark once Mark is done talking. “Yes, your father tried but he didn’t work he was getting older and they like young men to do it. It takes courage as well.” Said Mark

“I always love watching stars. I used to sneak to star gaze at night when there isn’t any clouds.” Said Ken. Mark smiles at this. “Your father did as well. There is also a hospital for men that get abducted as well. I am not that brave to do it I have friends that have been.” Said Mark. “That is different. Do the children know about that?” Ken asks Mark. “Yes and they understand it as well. Once they are old enough they want to get abducted as well. If they are married the wife’s are happy they do it too. In the morning I will introduce you to some of them.” Said Mark to Ken.

(Next day.)

Ken and Mark finishes breakfast and they clean up before they head out. Mark leads him to a place. “Stay here I will talk to them before I bring you in.” Said Mark as he knocks on the door. The door opens and Mark enters. Ken looks around the place waiting for Mark’s return. Two minutes later the door opens Mark and his friend comes out. “Mark tells me that you are Trent’s boy.” Said the man. “I am.” Said Ken to the man. “This is Jorge.” Said Mark.

“Nice to meet you. I am Ken.” Said Ken as he gives his hand to Jorge. Jorge takes it. “You treat others with respect.” Said Jorge to Ken. “Thanks. I don’t care what others look like or culture they want to treated the way they want with respect.” Said Ken. “I agree. You talk like your father. We have great stories of your parents. I am sure you have questions about us and them.” Said Jorge. Ken nods his head. Jorge smiles at this.

Ken asks his questions and Jorge answers them. Ken is amazed how it works. “There are a few men are expecting here. I am sure you will be amazed how they are.” Said Jorge to Ken. “Wow.” Replies Ken to Jorge. “I will show you.” Said Jorge as he gets up and leads Ken and Mark where they are. Ken is amazed how they look. “They seem to be happy.” Said Ken as he watches them. “They are. Sometimes a single male wants to raise them not worrying about marriage at all.” Said Jorge to Ken. They head back to the main room.

“It sounds interesting. How do they take the males?” Ken asks Jorge. “If you star gaze on a telescope for awhile you might get abducted it will take awhile.” Said Jorge to Ken. “Cool I might try it after I settle here for a bit.” Said Ken as he and Mark heads to the door. “Thanks for coming. You are welcome to come at any time.” Said Jorge as he walks with them.

“Did my dad get abducted?” Ken asks Mark. “No, he kept on trying to until his death. Your mom supported him when he was trying. You would love them.”Said Mark to Ken. “It sounds like they love living here. I still wonder why my uncle raised me instead of my parents.”Said Ken as they walk back to the house. “There are more diaries in the house. I will get them and it might answer your questions that way.” Said Mark as they enter the house. Mark went to get the other dairies for Ken. Ken looks to see a telescope outside. Mark returns with the dairies. “I hope this will help you.” Said Mark as he gives the box to Ken. “Me too. Thanks Mark.” Said Ken as he gets the boxes of diaries. He takes them and sits down and reads them.

After a few minutes he has learn why his uncle raised him. Mark enters the room. “Are you hungry?” Mark asks him. “Yes I am.” Said Ken as he gets up and he walks to the dining room. “Any luck with the diaries?”Mark asks Ken. “Yes, he took me when I was an infant. The one thing my uncle said they didn’t want me. Which it was not true. They were looking for me. Couple of times they almost found me.  He kept moving us so they won’t find me.”Said Ken as he sits down.  “I am glad you got away from him. I hope he won’t find you here.” Said Mark. “Same here and he can’t force me either.” Said Ken.

(Two months went by.)

“I still love it here.”Said Ken as he works on stuff here. Mark smiles at this. “Do you think I am crazy if I try to get abducted?” Said Ken to Mark. “No, I think I will go for it. You will make a great parent.” Said Mark. Ken smiles at this. “I know I will. I won’t treat my children like my uncle.” Said Ken as he gets stuff done around the house for awhile.  “Do you want some company while you do this?” Mark asks Ken. “Sure. I have no idea how long will it take.” Said Ken to Mark. “That is OK. I kept your father company as well.” Said Mark.

(Later that night.)

“It is a clear night.” Said Mark as he sets up some chairs for them. “That is good. I have no idea how long it will take.” Said Ken as he sets up the telescope.  He starts off looking at stars and up planets. “There are some cool stars and planets up there.”Said Ken as he watches them. “I am sure they are.” Said Mark as he looks up.  It was about two o’clock in the morning. Mark sees something flying over. “What is that?” Mark asks Ken. Ken brings the telescope where Mark is pointing. “It looks like a space ship.” Said Ken As he watches it. The space ship flies over Ken and uses a beam to lift Ken up in the air. Ken tries to hold but he couldn’t he lets go and he flies into the ship. Mark was amazed at this.
