If Red could help
Part 5


I get down slowly, listening to the voice in the kitchen. It is just small talk. At the end of the stair I turn in the kitchen to see that Alain a woman that I suppose is Tom mom, Tom and Seth in the kitchen. They all get up shouting, including my brother, happy birthday Reginald. Everybody smile and speak in the same time , except me. Tom get close to me and said in my ear.

-Tom “It don’t bother me, I am ok with it”
-Red I relax and said “I really don’t like surprise”
-Mother “Stop mumbling and sit at the table”

My brothers sit on my right, Tom and Seth at my left. Seth sit just beside me, he look at as if I have strange hair colour. By the way it true I have dye hair.

-Red “Hey Seth did I have something hanging from my nose?”
-Seth “What?”
-Red “Did I have a third arm or something?”
-Tom “Give him a chance, he was thinking that you were 7 foot tall, at least”
-Seth “No, it not true, I am not stupid” looking at Alain “Dad have said that you don’t have a strait look, but he did not said that you have so much rings.”
-Red “How do you find it? Weird”
-Seth “No but I don’t fit with a karate fighter”
-Red “Yes my teacher think the same ting” smiling at him.
-Tom “Leave it Seth, he may be looking weird but he is ok”
-Seth “I have not said that ”
-Alain “Guys we have a party here”
-Alain “Red meet Florence my wife”
-Red “Nice to meet you.”

We ate roast, it was very good by the way, mostly having good time. At the end it was the cake and they sing to me big deal, but I like it. After eating it was the time for the gifts. Mon and dad gave me a MP3 player and some memory for it, Andrew gave me a wooden frame with a picture of him and Mike, Mike gave me a leather wrist band with a skull engrave on it under the skull it write “Mess with Red and be Dead”, Tom and Seth gave me CDs of all the Dead Kennedys, Alain and Flo gave me envelope with $500.00 in. When I see the cash, I give it back Alain firmly said no. Was very happy of my gift, I thank everyone first I pick Mike and thank him for his work, he done it at school as Andrew, I thank him to. When it was a little quieter the 5 of us when to my room the little one play on my computer as Tom and me speak softly.

-Red “I was thinking that you were completely freak out by me being gay you know”
-Tom “At first I was surprise your not the type, but my therapist tell me that there I no such thing as a gay type. There is no bad or good gay, there is good or bad person. That is.”
-Red “I just want your friendship, I don’t want to jump in your pant. My friends don’t know all of me.”
-Tom “Could be a friend that know all of you if you still want it.”
-Red “Yep, could be cool.”
-Tom “I don’t n know if I am gay but I am not interest for now.”
-Red “I am ok with it.”

Later on I have to show my tattoo, Mike have tell Seth about it. Tom come with me in the bathroom to wet the dressing and get it off. There is not to much scab, the colour seem to hold. They look for a few minutes then I ask to Mike to put some salve on. He do it smiling ear to ear.

-Seth “Now you look like a real punk, rings, tattoo, leather.” Looking in my eyes “Why?”
-Red “Humm, to shock or to protest against the peoples looking nice but acting as monsters or worst without giving a shit about the others security or emotion.” Looking in his eyes “Also do you want to mess with a guy looking like me, do you think that you can give me hard time and go with it.” Smiling “You get the point.”
-Seth “Dress like it to don’t have to fight to often.”
-Red “Yes you get one of the point.” I smile to them “Good thinking for a little guy like you.”
-Tom “You don’t like to fight?”
-Red “It strange, I like the feel of the movement in the fight. I like the beauty of a technique well apply. I like the stress of the fight. I don’t necessarily like the result.”
-Andrew “Can we go to the park Red?”
-Red “Yes, take ball and gloves.”

Before we leave to the park I have to ask mother for a new dressing. We play for almost an hour before my brothers find some friends and your three brothers where playing with them. Tom and speak a lot about what had happen to him. At one point he was convinced that he deserve that treatment, that pain it was his fault, he was a scum bag. When he said that I just hold his shoulder. He smile at me and go ahead. I still have trouble to believe that you want to hang with me, my head know it but my heart still don’t believe it. I will fuck up and you will beat the shit out of me. I know that is not true and I fear it senseless. I could not help it.

-Tom “Do you want to hang with me anyway?”
-Red “Yep. To be sure that I cant beat the shit out of you come with me to train in Aikibodo.” I said smiling at him.
-Tom “Do you think I can?”
-Red “Yep, it easy even a fag can learn it.” He punch me in the shoulder.
-Tom “Cut it off smart mouth.”
-Red “You can come with me Wednesday I present you to Ray.”
-Tom “How much it is?”
-Red “Let me work it out. I work for Ray. By the way I likely be the one how will train you”
-Tom “I could be as good as you?”
-Red “Yep, I am not a natural I take the time to learn it.” I said smiling at him saying almost the truth. When I was beginning in Aikibudo I was wanting to be a samurai. For the first two years I put all my energy in that.
-Tom “What did I need?”
-Red “Almost noting a judogy, towel, soap, comb that it.”
-Tom “I ask to dad.”

He left running to the house. I look at the bunch of brothers playing ball. This end of afternoon was perfect, I feel very good. How could have the right to said to me that I cant like or love him or her. The sex of the love one it secondary. I have to feel the love the emotion and for now I feel it for Tom. Love it not suppose to be a selfish emotion, it suppose as I see it to be about sharing, emphatic, caring. It suppose to fulfill your life.
Oops, zone out again. Tom put his hand on my shoulder and I jump almost three foot high.

-Tom “Sorry” smiling “You have to talk with my father but it ok.”
-Red “Good Tom, I will have to put a bell on you.” I said grinning at him
-Tom “Seth we will go at Red house.”
-Mike smiling “Thomas it is Reginald.” Using the tone of voice of the commander.
-Tom “Have fun any way big mouth.”

We go to the house to see his father. We get in the kitchen seeing all four adults there talking. We talk about the course. What Tom need to follow it? How much it cost? I said to Alain that I work for Ray and teach for the new student and mostly the younger one. That I will manage something with Ray. It normally $90. for three months, up to five time a week. In summer it down to four days week but up to two time per day on each day. Course are for about two hours each time plus shower and coffee time. Mother have to put her point saying that coffee could be longer than the course. Around 17:00H they all gather and hug and kiss everybody wishing goodbye to all of us. I said to Tom that I call him lather that night. After the Neuville left my parents wish me happy birthday again they hug me, mother hug me and whisper in my ear that she was sorry about the slip but she not sorry about me being gay. You are how you are she said, I love that person she said kissing me. My brothers and me climb to my room, we pick a tape Frankenstein Jr. de Mel Brook a classic. In the morning we wake up on the bed still dress and sweaty, I push them in the direction of the bathroom saying shower time is long time pass. I when in the family room to call Tom and to excuse myself about not calling yesterday. Hi Alain, I call to talk to Tom I fall asleep before calling.

-Tom “Hi Red you have fall a sleep”
-Red “Yep, sorry I was suppose to call you yesterday.”
-Tom “It ok did you call Ray?”
-Red “Nope I call you first, how do you feel?”
-Tom “I am ok, call me when you have some news ok.”
-Red “No problem, call you back.” He really want to follow that course.
-Red “Mom I will go to the dojo do I need to bring something back?”
-Mother “No Reginald, ho! soon this morning you have a call from Sergio”
-Red “Did he leave a number?”
-Mother “Sorry darling he just ask for you saying that he call back”

What Sergio want from me and how give him my number? I shower take off my ring and comb my hair. Mike giggle.

-Mike “Going to the dojo Reg?”
-Red “You know it, I am in disguise just for Ray.”

I get in the kitchen in polo shirt and blue jean, with Nike. What you have to do to learn. It take around twenty minutes to go to the dojo. It was quiet there is no student in I knock on Ray door. He ask me in.

-Red “Hi mister Blanc, how are you?”
-Ray “Good very good mister Devar, which is the subject of your visit?”
-Red “I just want to inscribe a new student Thomas Neuville. He will be here next Thursday and will need a judogy.”
-Ray opening a file “It perfect in summer we have less students. Do you think there is someone that will last with us?”
-Red “He is enthusiast about the course. Can I said something that have to stay only between us? It is very sensible to him.”
-Ray “I will not speak without your permission.”
-Red “He have been abuse badly, burn with a cigar and mostly terrorise by sadistic. Worse a member of his family.”
-Ray “His he ok?”
-Red “He is follow by a therapist he look ok. I just want to said it to you in case. On the good side learning martial art could give him confidence in himself.”
-Ray “His he a friend of your?”
-Red “Yes, he is about my age.”
-Ray “Ok he will learn with you, if you need any help ask don’t forget ask.

Ray his a very good guy I was sure of his reaction. Before leaving his office I pay for three months any way I have the money. I ask Ray if I could take a judogy medium size to bring it to my friend he will pay it Thursday. I take my summer schedule and discreetly bow to him. I get in a restaurant to phone to Tom.

-Red “Hi could I speak to Tom, this is Reginald?”
-Flo “Hi wait a minute please Red.”
-Tom “Hi Red how the news?”
-Red “You will train with me on Thursday at 10:00H. It will be twenty-one students, I know a little more than half of them.”
-Tom “It will be a lot of people in that class.”
-Red “No don’t bother class of twenty it normal for me, I have your judogy do you want it?”
-Tom “Sure wait a sec.”

He spoke to someone off the phone.

-Tom “We come to get you if you have the judogy ting.”
-Red “I could go to your place.”
-Tom “No dad his here and want to pick you up if you want to.”

I give him direction to get in front of the restaurant and when in front to wait for they to pass picking me up. Sitting on the sidewalk I was thinking about the course that I have to give and as usual I zone out. Tom make me jump again.

-Tom “Red? I almost did not recognise you”
-Red “Yep it is my martial art disguise.” Smiling back at him. I gave him the bag that I have with me.”
-Tom looking inside “This is a judogy?”
-Red “Yep.”
-Alain “Hey boys climb in I block the street.”
-Red “Hi, thank for the lift.”
-Alain “Don’t mention it Red. Looking straight, where is the punk?”
-Tom “This is his martial art disguise” he said smiling at me.
-Red “Normally I should go home to change I will make an exception.”
-Alain “If you want we can pass at your home to warn your parent that you will ate with us, if you want to.”
-Red “Yes why not?” Tom look very happy of the news.

We go to my house then to their house. Seth come right at my side saying.

-Seth “Wow lot of change, why?”
-Tom “It is a disguise.”
-Seth “Duh stop making fun of me.”
-Red “It is true Seth I only dress like that to go to the dojo.” Smiling at him “It is my martial art disguise.”
-Seth looking at us not sure if he have to believe that “Yes any way”
-Red “Tom go to your room to put on your judogy.”

I follow Tom, he put on his judogi. I show him how to tie the belt. And tell him that he have to wash it before the course, using a little bit of Javel, not to dry it in the electric dryer. I also tell him that I will wear an hakama I describe it as black or dark blue, mine are black, pant with very wide legs and covering the foot. I explain to him that in the time of the samurai it was to hide the foot. Hiding by that your stance to your enemy. For now you are white belt you will have the white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. The meaning of the black belt is that you know your basic technique and can apply them. Tom listen and that he did not have any questions. We speak about his brother Ernest how is in therapy also he as a diagnostic psychosis with sadistic tendency. He will be send to a psychiatric facility. They did not tell how much time he will be there. Tom said to me that Ernest was not like that, ok he always been a little rough on the edge, he was ok. He take care of Tom and Seth but two years ago he began to be strange having weird reaction. Last year he began to harass Tom being more and more violent. At this point Tom start crying softly. Seth tell to Tom that Ernest demand to him not eat or things like not pee for hours and doing all kind of bounding. At that point I hug Tom tight listening to the rest of his story. I was convince that it was my fault that Ernest have to punish me for my mistake that I was bad and useless. He choke a bit.

-Red “It ok Tom this is Ernest the sick one not you. Try to come at peace with what have happen. You could not change the past.”
-Tom “Why he is sick like that? Could I have prevent it?”
-Red “Have you lately take a psychology course?”
-Tom “What?”
-Red “The only manner to prevent this is to be trained to deal with it and your not period.”
-Tom “Are you sure?”
-Red “Pretty sure any way ask to your therapist. He will tell you.”
-Tom wiping his face “I am so fuck up.”
-Red “Don’t say it. You have pass a very hard time without any support you been good I would been worse than you are if it have be me.”
-Tom “I don’t know for sure you should have fight with Ernest.”
-Red “And what if you have been able to beat the shit out of him. Did have that have cure him, do you believe it Tom?”
-Tom “…..”
-Red “The facts are Ernest is sick. You and Seth have been abuse. Your parent have not see any thing. Ernest have to heal. You and Seth have to right to be piss off at your parents. You and Seth have to heal and you all have to talk about it.
-Tom “You think?”
-Red “I am not a therapist but it seem logical, the job of a parent is to protect their kid. Not be able to do that can be explain but it not suppose to happen.”

We are call down to ate. Tom was very quiet when we ate our supper. After we talk about the course and when he need to be there for it. At one point he hold my hand I did not know how to react to it then I did not react at all. Talking he let my hand go we ended our talking. His dad give me a lift home. He ask me what we talk about I answer him Aikibudo and for the rest he have to talk to Tom. He sigh loudly looking at the road. Your not the average Joe at your age I did not dare to answer like that. You have guts it why you don’t take shit. I have the right to not really like it. He leave me in front of my house at 20:45H wishing me good evening. I when in saying my hi.

-Mother “How was the day? Reginald”
-Red “Ok, Thomas will follow some course with me.” Smiling at her.
-Mother “You have not ask lot of thing from Mr Blanc.”
-Red “Nope you know me better.”
-Father “He will begin next Thursday? Reginald.”
-Red “Yep, morning course.”
-Mother “Did his parents like it?”
-Red “I don’t know for his mother but his father is happy with it. Most important Tom is happy with it.”
-Father “Yes that right.”

We took a coffee talking for few minutes. After that I when to my room, booting the machine working on the punk project. I replace the info in the different file, taking notes for further information about topics find on the net. I was working when Mike put his on my shoulder making me jump. I was out of there and did not ear or feel him as usual when I work. It the reason why I never work in school, lot of distractions and peoples that do not respect the privacy of my mind students or teachers.

-Mike “Hi red what do you do?”
-Red “Homework”
-Mike “Yerk! Your in vacation.?”
-Red “I work because it is a fun project and if I do it in my vacation I will work less when I go back to school.”
-Mike “Do you want to come with me at the mall tomorrow Red.”
-Red “Yes what time do you want to go grunt.”
-Mike “Humm! about 09:00H? It is ok?”
-Red “Yes mile”

Fuck I forgot Sergio.

-Red “Mother did Sergio call back?”
-Mother “I think that he call four time but he don’t leave message, I am not certain.”
-Red “Ok thank mom.”

What did he want from me?

If Red could help
Part 6


On Wednesday I go with Mike and Andrew at the mall, Mike insist to go alone in the library. In stay close to the library with Andrew, I was almost sure that Mike want info on gay peoples. I hope that the clerk will not give him hard time. Looking inside with Andrew I see that Mike was talking with a guy of about 22 average height and on the skinny side. He was pointing Mike to the door. I was not happy with that. I ask to Andrew to watch me from the outside it will not be long. Smiling at me he said ok. I when inside just as Mike was walking to the door. He grab my hand and said that they did not have the book that he want.

-Red “Mike look at me.” I put one knee on the ground “Tell me that again?”
-Mike “They don’t want to sell it to me” just on the point to tearing.
-Red “You want a book on gay peoples? Yes?”
-Mike “Yes”
-Red raising up looking at the clerk “Excuse me, my brother ask you to buy a book on gay peoples why do you refuses it to him?”
-Clerk looking at me confused “Sorry your little brother ask me for a book on the gay and I did not want”
-Red I interrupt him “To be accused of forcing it in the hand of a child? But you can sell it to me ok.”
-Clerk “For sure sir” he insist on the sir looking at me.
-Red “What is the book title sir”
-Clerk “Is it a choice?: Answer to 300 of the Most Frequently Asked Questions about Gay and Lesbian People by Eric Marcus.”
-Red “This book do not look offensive in any way.”
-Clerk “To you perhaps but lot of peoples find it offensive.”
-Red looking at Mike “I will take it do you think so Mike?”
-Mike “Yes”
-Clerk “What is the name on the invoice?”
-Red smiling at the clerk “Albert, Albert Einstein.”
-Clerk “Wow a celebrity in the store, I did not know that.” He said smiling at me.
-Red “Yep, I was tired of Princeton and I did not like the look of the mid fifty. Punk it more like it.” With that he look at me kind of wary. He smile.
-Clerk “If you need some more info on gay people you can come back and ask me.”

I smile back at him pay and wish him good day. I gave the bag back to Mike.

-Mike “That guy was flirting with you?”
-Red “Yep I think that he try to.”
-Red “Let it go I am not interest.”
-Mike “It is that I find it strange that a old man want to go with you.”
-Red “Hi Andrew it was not to long?”
-Andrew “No why the guy have to speak to you before giving the book to Mike?”
-Red “Ask Mike”
-Mike “He think that I was to young for that book.”
-Red “Did anybody want ice cream?”

This is a rather elegant way to end the conversation. We get home I leave the little one in the family room. I knock at the door of my father office. No answer I open, I have to call Tom . Tom answer my call we speak about the course later this morning. Tom said to me that her have to go to summer school he will have his schedule on the next week then we will see how many course of Aikido per week he will take. I said to him that it was cool with me. He seem more relaxed after that, I smile at the phone, I said my bye and hang up. I disguise for Ray and I have to take a cab, I really don’t like having to rush. I breathe deeply trying to calm my spirit. I accede directly to the lockers room to take a shower and putting on my judogy and my hakama. I stay in the locker room fixing the wall in deep meditation for a few minutes. When I move I see Tom smiling at me with Pierre how have a hand on his shoulder.

-Tom “Hi, Pierre stop me from speaking to you, you where in meditation?”
-Red “Yes, I was, thank you Pierre, hi Thomas”
-Pierre “How do you feel?”
-Red “Good I just have a busy day.” I smile at Pierre. “We have to proceeded guy.”

Tom seem to adapt very well to his class mate and to the fact having me as teacher. We all have a good sweat. At large Tom learn to move and some basic dodge. He see happy with what he learn. After the course I practice with Pasqual, a tall man of about 6’2” slim of about 32 years old, my weapons kata, first with the boken (wood blade) lather on with katana. Tom stay to look at your practice, he was not alone around half of my class stay to look. This is not officially part of the course but seeing us practice prepare the mind and sharpen the will to go in that direction. We, nine persons including Thomas and me, get in a restaurant for lunch. At the end of the lunch I excuse from the table to phone. Ok the hard part. Hello this is the Hole yes this is Red the punk Sergio try to reach to me if you can ring him and let him know that I am near the phone. The person on the other end said to that Sergio is in the hospital he leave a letter for me at the job I could get it before 16:00H. I answer that it was ok by me but how Sergio was? She tell me that he was mostly ok, just get there and I will have all the news. What the fuck? I go back with the guys ,that by the way include three girls, I finish lunch and wave to them leaving with Tom. His father gave me a lift. Tom ask me if he could hang with me I said yes but I have something to do, did he mind staying with the little one for few minutes. No was the answer. I put part of my battle gear said bye to my mother and Tom then leave. I got to the club at 15:20H. The girl in the office was medium build with black curly hair and dark complexion. She look nice for a rocker type.

-Shant “Your Red?”
-Red “Yep what happen to Sergio?”
-Shant “He was badly beaten, he have a broken jaw and few broken rib. He did not tell us any thing precise just that was a skinhead story and you have to take care of it.”
-Red “No cops I suppose.” I said smiling.
-Shant “Exactly has he said. This is the envelope that he give me and he sing on the seal.” She give it to me.
-Red “Ok nothing else ?”
-Shant “Nope, you will not open it?”
-Red “Not now don’t try it babe.”
-Shant “Don’t babe me punk.” Smiling at me
-Red “Bye take care.”

When I get in the bus I open the envelope. Red I write to you from my room at St Luc hospital I have been to a place name Altitude 73, this is a place where they give bomber jacket and skinhead stuff to high school kid (like you). This is the address ***** street *****. They receive fund from the Vermont Cavern, this is the infamous KKK that try to put his fang in your turf find the people to kick their ass. They have not catch me when I snoop in their place I have been seen near the metro Papineau. I been catch by 5 dickheads they beat me good but you can beat them worse Take care Sergio. Bye the way “no cops”.

I get home and call Alex first, he know lot of peoples and could be silent as a tomb.

-Red “Hi Tom, I have to make a call do you want to sit beside me and listen?”
-Tom “Yes, what up?”
-Alex “Hi Alex talking”
-Red “Hi it is Red, how are you?”
-Alex “Good and you, it all ok?”
-Red “Yep! Do you know that Sergio from The Hole is flat?”
-Alex “Nope first news. Are you concern by that?”
-Red “I have to talk to you now if it is possible?”
-Alex “Come at my loft, I wait for you.”
-Red “Hey mom ,we will not ate here ok?”
-Mother “Why?” Looking at me.
-Red “We have to go at the club to see the guys.”
-Mother “How about Tom, did is father new”
-Red “We will stay outside, it to soon to get in”
-Mother “Ok, but be home before 00:00 we are on the week.
-Red “If I have to be late I will call you.” She look at me
-Mother “I hope that you will not have to be late ok?”
-Red “I will try.” Smiling at her.

I was in hurry I call a cab. In the cab I ask to Tom if he new what is the KKK. His answer was not really, they are white supremacist that is. I said to him that he is right they are that and more I will explain it later. Getting in the loft I smile at Alex girlfriend and ask if Alex could come with me to take a coffee. Looking strangely at me he said yes.

-Red Designating Tom “His mane is Tom he is ok, will not speak”
-Tom “Hi.”
-Alex “What do you want to tell me that is top secret?”
-Red “I was ask to find peoples ready to take skinhead out of the circuit as a organisation.”
-Alex “Then we go.” Getting to the coffee shop
-Red “How can you help me.” Smiling at him. “No cops.”
-Alex “Humm! organisation? Jew congress or LAM or Association of black student? What?”
-Red “Any and all, I don’t know, it to flush an office of the KKK in Montreal.”
-Alex “Humm! I would said that A. D**** of the LAM (League Antifascist Mondial), he have contact with the other I named convince him and you are in business.”

Alex made some phone call and have appointment at the Hole next Friday. On your way home.

-Tom “You sound like this is cops business or something.”
-Red “For that one I am over my head.”
-Tom “What it is?”
-Red “Do you remember the night I met you the doorman how refuse you?”
-Tom “Yes around your height but larger, that one?”
-Red “Yes, he was beat, he have a broken jaw and broken ribs. He was, I don’t know why, in a place name Altitude 73. This as he said one office of the KKK in Montreal that give to group like ARN skin and other shit head free bomber jacket to give in High School with badge an stuff to bring young peoples in their rank. He ask me to find a way to put out of your turf, Montreal.”
-Tom “It is dangerous Red, your not suppose to take risk like that.”
-Red “Tom I will take risk if I feel that taking risk could save some peoples from pain or abuse.” I said looking at him.
-Tom “Ok Red got your point, what next?”
-Red “If you want to we will go to see A. D**** you will serve as my witness wearing a numeric tape looking with concentration to all the face how come in.”
-Tom “I will do it no problem but number one what to tell to my father and number two how get in the Hole.”
-Red “To your father we will go to see a movie, you choose it and sleepover. For the rest stand by me.”

We get in my room I assemble a punk kit, with ear cuff and chains neck choker humm! Offspring t-shirt black off course well used black jean that are almost grey, old combat boots, sleeveless leather jacket to small for me. I show him how to where the cobra to keep it handy but out of sight. We have only two day to make him fibreglass fore arm guard it is not possible, drying time, I suppose that we can begging doing it just in case.

And I start to show him how to use a cobra, he will not be dangerous with it but he will look as he know to use it, I hope. On Friday we go to the course I get in at 09:00H I need some time of meditation I get on the tatami in sheza fixing the back wall. When I come back I feel relaxed and refresh. All the students where waiting for me. I smile at them and saluting them. The course begging smooth at first and at the end of it everybody have a good sweat because of the intensity of the exercises. After I get to work with Pasqual and André his brother. Pasqual use the Bo (6’ wooden stick), André use the Naginata traditional woman weapon (a katana blade on a 6’ stick) and me with a Katana. I was a very good training, I have to said that I have lot of fun. It was a tri way everybody for himself. When it end we hear some applause, it was unimportant to us, we where looking at each other smiling and bowing to each other. After the shower we go to the restaurant for lunch, we talk and have fun. Tom and me left saying your bye to the guys, we take the bus to go home. We dress for the evening, me I put my full battle dress, shin and forearm guard, karate jock strap with the cup, jean and leather, sap leather glove and finally a mouth piece and one to Tom I ask him to keep it in his pocket. I get down to talk to my father.

-Red “Hey dad I need to borrow your mini recorder can I?”
-Father “Why do you need it?”
-Red “I need to do some negotiation and I want proof of it”
-Father “It is dangerous? Red tell me.”
-Red “No not at all tonight it only speaking with a guy but I don’t want to be carry away by a big mouth.”
-Father “I believe you son but that you don’t tell all of it as usual, don’t try to protect everybody from every thing.”
-Red “No dad, I know that life have thorns, a bunch of it. You know that she have wonderful flower to. You have found mother and the little one to.”
-Father “You to Red even if you have your own thorns, you put it there to protect your self and the one that you love.”
-Red “Thank dad for the recorder.” I have to control my berating to keep my emotions from showing.”
-Red “Tom pull your shirt off.” He look at me then see the recorder. He pull off is shirt.
“You will be happy that you have no chest hair.” I put talc on his chest under the recorder then tape it on his left side.
-Tom “It fell strange does it show?”
-Red “Put your shirt on and your leather vest. Wait I will put it on to test it. Ok go on.”
-Tom “How it is?”
-Red “We have to make a true test follow me, keep smiling and parade your outfit ok?”
-Tom “No problem.”

We get on the first floor in the kitchen to be seen by the commandant. The first ting we heard it.

-Mother “Reginald what did you do to that boy he look like.”
-Red I interrupt her “Like me I suppose.” Smiling at her
-Mother “Yes, but he did not as much practice to scold and growl.”
-Tom “Reg did not scold.”
-Mother “He scold even to some of his teacher, to them scold was when he was happy. It is true Reginald.”
-Red “Yes it is true I have tendency to put at their place those control freak that she talk about.”
-Mother “Sadly enough I mostly agree to his judgement but not to his bad attitude.”
-Red “This is not bad attitude this is my way of expression when they make mistakes and refuse to acknowledge it those stu”
-Mother “Watch it, those uncaring persons.”
-Red “As you said.”
-Tom “He always been like that?”
-Mother “Yes, he learn to read alone around three and half but up side down.”
-Tom “Up side down?”
-Mother “I read story to him and he was in front of me, from his side the book up side down. One time I ask him to read me a story he took the book up side down and read it to me.”
-Red “Mom this is old stuff.”
-Tom “It is ok I like it.”
-Mother “He was in first grade at four years, he ran away from school because his teacher don’t like him and he was right. When I go to school after his stun she call him erudite monkey. I ask that he will be change to one other class.”
-Tom “Wow a heavy punk that his also a nerd.” Looking at me. “I get it right?”
-Red “Not really it was when I was young I am not like that now.”
-Mother “Yes he soon ask lot of question about the reaction of the others and note that to bright peoples are not accept. He learn by trial and error and he adjust his result to the reaction of the average student in his class. It is like the martial art and his punk look it all calculated to give the optimum result.”
-Red “Mom you make me sound like Machaviel. I am not a Borgia prince and I do not kill parents. On top of that I am not Italian.”
-Tom “Your pretty weird man.” Smiling at me “Good kind of weird for me.”
-Mother “Your are lucky Reginald, you have found a guy how like your kind of weirdness.”
-Red “Ho mom! I just take a coffee, what do you want?”
-Tom “Coffee it good to me.”

Getting in my room I look at Tom smiling.

-Red “Strip off your shirt.”
-Tom “Ok boss, spying it so difficult.”

The recording was good but the sound of the clothing have to be filter to have a clear recording. Any way we where happy with it. We have to wait till 18:00H to go to the Hole. At 18:35 we where in front of the Hole, looking at the pedestrians. At 19:00H a guy in suit with long brown hair, brown eyes and a suitcase with LAM logo on it. I get in front of him.

-Red “Hi! I am Red, this my friend Paul, you are A. D****?”
-A “Yes you want to speak to me Red?”
-Red “Come with us in the Vietnamese restaurant just behind us so we could talk, I pay the lunch.”

We get in, the first reaction of the staff was to move toward us, when the stewardess spot me she smile and sing the waiter to back up. She bow us, I bow back and ask for a table without neighbours. She show us a table in the back and far from the door. We order Tom look at me from behind his menu, I show him six fingers then he ask for a number six.

-A “What is the business?”
-Red “Do you know something about Altitude 73 and the implication of the Vermont Cavern?”
-A “No not really” he open is case pull a file and open it in front of me. There was the address, phone number and time of opening.
-Red “Ok I understand you don’t know any thing.”

Then we write back and forward. You know the bastards but can not do any thing legally. Yes. My intension is to fuck up the bastards I need contact with peoples that will take direct actions. Give me your phone number I will make the contact. Nope I give you a e-mail to contact me. Ok. Red how are you? I heard that you are kind of martial artist and that you are bashing skinhead. Yes to both, I do not tolerate control freak in any ways.
We end your lunch keeping the sheet of paper that we use under the confuse look of Tom.
