It wasn't my Fault - The chess club - Part 15

OTHER PART | ALL STORY LIST

Sandra's mom, being the CEO of the IT Development Corporation, is a great negotiator, as she talked the mothers into letting all of us sleep over from Friday after school until after lunchtime on Sunday.

We don't know how Ebony Sexton did it, especially since she doesn't like any of our mothers, but she got them to let us all stay for the weekend.

Sandra had us all piled into a cab outside the school on Friday. We even had Nikki with us and headed to her house.

We all got out of Sandra's house and headed inside. We were followed by her cousins, who hit it off with Nikki straight away, but as we were putting our things in our rooms for the night, Nikki went up to Sandra and said, I know you and the club members don't trust her, but Beth is sitting at home alone as her mom is off with the other mothers doing whatever they do.

Nikki asked if she could come over and stay.

Seeing as the chess club was sleeping together in Sandra's room, the rest of us heard Nikki's request. We all looked at each other and then said yes to Sandra.

Sandra said to please keep an eye on her.

Nikki said she would.

Sandra and Nikki went to talk to her mother.

They found Ebony Sexton and Pam Robitson in the kitchen, making snacks for the girls and getting to know each other.

Sandra explained about Beth, who she was, and that she seemed to regret how she treated her brother Ben.

Nikki swears she's like her and resents what her mother got her to do to him. Pam said to Ebony that regardless of that stuff, we can't leave her alone at home. Ebony agreed with Pam.

Pam told Nikki to get her daughter Julie and they'd go get Beth, and to text Beth to let her know we were on our way to pick her up and she could stay the weekend if her mother didn't object.

They returned in just under an hour with Beth. She was very grateful to be here. The party was in full girl time by then, and as we were all in the process of showering and getting dressed in our nightwear, the only person having a hard time of it all was Jay, a 13-and-a-half-year-old boy with his hormones racing, and having a house full of girls in their nightgowns was making the pore boy horny. Even seeing me in my nightgown was making it hard for Jay.

He told me later. I looked as hot as Julie in my nighty, which made me blush.

We played games, watched movies, had pillow fights, and just had all-around girly fun until we all fell asleep from exhaustion.

We woke up late and had breakfast, but it was more like lunch before the day's fun started. which was a trip to the salon, where we all would get makeovers.

When we got to the salon, a photographer was waiting for us to take pictures of our day.

We all had a ball at the salon getting our hair and nails done plus makeup. Even Jay had fun, and then we went clothes shopping where we got to pick one outfit for ourselves to keep. We were unsure of this as we didn't feel right about spending Sandra's mom's money, but Miss Sexton said it's all right, girls. The pictures from today will be used for a big ad campaign for an online service for the shop and salon that's coming out next month that my company has developed. I'll be sending you home with some paperwork for your parents to read and sign so we can use the photos, but either way, you still get to keep your outfits.

We had fun trying on dresses, then we got shoes. By this time, it was getting close to dinner time, so we went to a very nice restaurant and had a beautiful meal. Then it was back to Sandra's, where Jeremey was waiting with music, and we danced and had a ball. Jay and Nikki got a surprise as their big sister Steph walked in and said hello, wished Sandra a happy birthday, and thanked her for letting her see her siblings. The three of them hugged for the longest time, then they went into a side room and talked. There were tears, but they were happy ones as we watched the happy reunion.

The doorbell rang, and Miss Sexton answered it, and there was a soldier at the door.

Jeremey called Beth over to him and then turned her around so she faced the door when Miss Sexton showed the soldier in Beth, who squealed at Ben and ran and jumped into his arms.

Jeremey apologized to Jennifer, saying he couldn't get John here. Even though John wanted to be here, he has to finish his degree, and then he will be here for you as he'll have a job and be able to look after you.

Won't he miss Sexton?

Ebony Sexton said yes, he will be.

He'll be working with me, Jennifer. And if only half of what Sandra tells me is true, I'll be hiring Jeremey as well. I hear you're a talented programmer as well.

After a couple of hours of music with fun and games, Sandra's cousins settled down to watch a movie, and the chess club moved to another room to play chess. But we really wanted to know what Ben had been doing and to find out where Steph stood. So that's what Jeremey did; he asked Steph whose side she was on.

Steph told the club that she's almost got her business degree, and then she's going to have her mother declared unfit and get custody of her brother and sister. Ben said that he stayed with his uncle and worked for him until he was told to report for army intake.

I made sure that the army knew about my being prettified and that I was estranged from my mother because of it. I also made sure my CO knew as well, so no one, not even Mom, could hold it against me. The basic training was hard but worth it. I then applied to the military police and got it.

I was so happy as I love the law and I'm stationed at the local military base. It's so interesting. Then, last month, my CO gave me a set of private stripes and told me that if I keep up with the good work, I may get another stripe if I don't make the college intake next year. I'm going to try and do the same thing as Steph. I want to get custody of Beth.

Beth said to her brother, I'd go with you in a heartbeat, but unless you have a lot more money than Mum, I think you'll lose, as I've seen Mum's investment portfolio; it's worth about 40 million pounds, and she has around 5 million pounds in the bank.

Jay said to Steph that Mom has about the same in her investment portfolio and the bank, though she'd have a lot more if she made better investments than what she's doing now. Jennifer said her mother's portfolio and bank account were about the same.

Sam and Tom said their mother's portfolios are worth about 60 million pounds, with about 10 million pounds in the bank.

Alex said my mother's portfolio and bank account are about the same as Sam and Tom's mothers, as they got more money because our mothers effectively castrated us with hormones. Ben, John, and Jay are just lucky that they avoided the hormone treatment.

Steph turned to Jay and asked if that was true; he told her it was.

Ebony Sexton said she doesn't get why Alex's mother would give hormones to her daughter. Sandra said Mom Alex is a boy, and so are Sam and Tom. Pam Robinson said it's true, Ebony. I nursed Alex in the hospital, and I can confirm that he's a boy.

Miss Sexton was shocked and asked how they could do that to their own children. Then she asked, When did you find out what your mothers were doing to you?

Ben told his story first about the excuse his mother used to put him in a dress and about the vitamins his mother tried to give him, but he found the box they came in, so he knew they were hormones, so he didn't take them.

Sam and Tom told their story next about the health drinks, the vitamins, and hearing what the doctor said to her mother. Then Alex told her story, saying that she only found out after she was attacked when Miss Robinson read my chart.

Jay told how he avoided the hormones thanks to the other girls he knew about the healthy drinks and that he got very good at throwing up. Steph told her brother how she wished she was there to stop their mother, and Nikki apologized for being a bitch of a little sister and getting him into trouble with their mom.

Beth cried on Ben's shoulder as she apologized for telling on him.

Jeremey outlined everything we know about the mothers.

We know they all went to Cambridge College and that they all know each other from Cambridge, but they are hiding the fact that they know each other for some unknown reason. We are 90% sure that they all lived at Florence House but have no proof of it.

We know they all have a part-share in a company by the name of FEMink.co, and the only asset the company has is a storage unit near the canals.

They all go to Cambridge every six months at the same time. They all belong to the same gym. They all go to the same Italian restaurant, Gianni's, in the next town once a month, and they are all doing something every Wednesday, but they're telling you they're doing different things.

They all receive or have received between 5 million and 7 million pounds a year from the same company, FEMSISTERHOOD. p t y L t d.

Plus, we know other members of Florence House have helped them, as we know Doctor Bonnie Miller was a member of Florence House, as it's in her bio.

Steph said I don't know about the other mothers, but our mother was a member of Florence House, as that's how I got into Florence House, and I know where they got the money, as I was offered the same deal as my mother. That's when I came out to Mom, and I told her I knew what she was doing to Jay.

Mum tried to defend what she was doing by saying at least she wasn't giving Jay hormones, which I now know she was lying to me about.

Jeremey asked what the offer was that they made to you.

Steph said I was told there was a secret group of women that would offer me 5 million pounds a year to dress my son as a girl and that there were ways to make more, but I would only find out about them once I started.

I didn't have to make a decision, then I could ask for it at any time. Also, if you give me pictures of your mothers, I'll look at the photos in Florence House, as every year they take a formal picture, but there are also photos all over the place taken throughout the year, so I'm sure I'll find some pictures with all of them in them.

Beth spoke up. Since you left, Ben's mom hasn't been as secretive and hasn't locked things up as she used to, so I've found some of her old journals. The first one I read was about how she tried to trick you into taking hormones and the frustration that after 6 months there wasn't any sign of them working and how she couldn't understand why they hadn't, and that she talked to Doctor Miller, who said that Ben is maybe the one in a hundred that needs IV hormones, and mom wrote of her frustration that you never got sick or injured and that she considered pushing you down the stairs so you needed to go to the hospital. Beth said it made me sick to read that she wanted you to get hurt so she could get more money.

I found more of Mom's journals. When I went to my grandma’s from when Mum was in college and before college, in one she wrote about a secret group that offered her a lot of money, but she didn't think it was real. Mom also wrote about staying at Florence House and who was staying there with her. Ben asked, Do you remember their names? Beth said yes to some of them. I asked her if one of the names was Jenny Bea. Beth got thoughtful, and I remember the name Jenny a lot.

Jay said, How about Bridget Cutler? Jennifer said, How about Debra Longleg, Taylor Shorten, or Kylie Spencer? Beth said I remember reading about Mum getting drunk with Bridge, Deb, and Jenny after a concert and having to call Kylie and Taylor to pick them up as they couldn’t get a cab, then having to strip Deb so she could get into Kylie’s car as she’d thrown up all over herself and having to sneak her into the dorm.

Ben asked, What did Beth do with them? Beth said she hid them so they would be safe. I've found others at home, and I've hidden them as well, so they’re safe to use against Mom when you're ready, as she doesn't deserve to be our mother.

Jeremey said to us that it proves they know each other, but without their last names or finding a journal from one or more of the other mothers, it’s all circumstantial. Sandra can send pictures of the mothers to Steph so she can check the pictures at Florence House.

Jeremey then asked Steph, When you find them, we’ll need you to take a picture of the photo and the location of where you found it. To prove that it’s real, not something we’ve made, plus if it disappears because someone from this family removes it.

Steph said I’ll definitely do that, as the person who made the offer to me was an alumnus, and they have pretty much free rain throughout the house.

After listening to us trade information and making Miss Robinson ask, have any of you thought about talking to the police?

Jeremey answered her: My father has a lawyer available 24/7 to give free legal advice, and they specialize in human rights violations. I gave them a hypothetical case and told them your story, girls, and everything we know.

They told me if this case was true, they would need the police at the end or a friendly one who wouldn't do anything until you're ready, but before that, they'd need evidence of the payments. We have They'd need evidence of why they were given the payments. Which we don't have yet.

They'd need evidence of collusion between the mothers. We only have circumstantial evidence of their collusion right now. They also said there may be other boys out there who have gone through this hypothetical case before, but without a list of past occupants of Florence House, it'd take ages to go through all the females who went to Cambridge to find out if they had a boy who transitioned or was trans.

If they had a computer, I'd just hack in and look through their files, but I've looked, and there's no computer in that building other than the students, of course.

Steph said they do have computers there in the housemother's office area I've seen at least three Computers in there one for the house mother one for her secretary and one for housekeeping. Miss Sexton asked Steph, What services do you get at Florence House?

Steph told her Florence House is owned by THE FLORENCE HOUSE TRUST; they look after the house. We, the students, get either a private room or a shared room with either one or two other girls' full cleaning services for our rooms. I'm told 10 years ago they used to do our laundry as well, but now we have to wash our own clothes, and there's a kitchen with a full-time cook and a large dining room.

Jeremey said that's strange. I've checked every IP address for Cambridge College, and there's one for Florence House. Miss Sexton said that was strange and then asked Steph if she had received an acceptance email or letter. Steph said it was a letter. Miss Sexton said I was hoping you got an email. Even though it's been a couple of years, we'd still be able to get an IP address from it.

Steph got a look like she remembered something and pulled out her phone and clicked on her emails, then opened one and showed Miss Sexton and said everyone at Florence House got one last week about one of the shower rooms being closed for maintenance and everyone would have to use the shower rooms on another floor.

If I send it to you, can you get the IP address you need?

Miss Sexton said yes, we can, but stopped Steph and asked, Does your mother pay for your phone? Steph said I got this one myself, and I paid for it. Why? Miss Sexton explained that all the girls have spyware on their phones, laptops, or tablets. Jennifer said even my phone has spyware on it, and John hasn't been around since he was 15, but Mom still spy on me.

Steph said to Miss Sexton, Can you check my phone for me? Ebony said I'd have to do a code check as they're normally hidden.

Jeremey said they're easy to find without all that crap and asked for Steph's phone, then started tapping away, and after a couple of minutes, he said it was clean and handed it back to Steph. Ebony Sexton said, How can you know without checking dater codes? Jeremey said easy, then asked me for my tablet and asked me to open it to an assignment that I was working on and write something in a different font, then clicked away, showing Miss Sexton the screen, and she said Sandra's right, you are good, then asked, Do you want an internship with me? Jeremey, I'd love one, and it would make my father so happy.

I said we may know a police officer. I looked at Jennifer and asked, Do you think she'd do it? Jennifer said she thought she would. Jeremey asked who? I answered, Officer. Britney Johnson Jeremey said I was thinking of her.

Pam Robinson said I have her number and Ebony, and I can feel her out if you like.

We all looked at each other and nodded our consent. Miss Robinson pulled out her phone and sent Officer Johnson a text, asking her to give her a call. Miss Robertson said it was Sergeant Johnson now, as she had a promotion.

Julie and Sandra took this opportunity to harvest new and old pictures of the mothers from Face Bank and sent them to Steph as the rest of us told Ben what had happened since he left. Miss Robitson and Miss Sexton had just returned from checking on the girls, watching the movie, and getting some more snacks when Miss Robitson's phone started ringing. She put the snacks down and answered her phone; it was Sergeant Johnson. Miss Robinson asked how Sergeant Johnson was doing. Sergeant Johnson said she'd just finished her shift and was about to get something to eat and then head home. Miss Robinson told her to come over and eat with us and explained that she and Ebony Sexton were chaperones for a girl's sleepover/birthday party and that she knew some of the girls would love to talk to her.

Sergeant Johnson said she'd love to come over, so Miss Robinson gave her the address, and Sergeant Johnson said she'd be over in 20 minutes.

Pam Robinson said we'll talk to her and decide whether to bring her into the group or wait until later when we have more evidence.

Sandra said who wants ice cream and pancakes? We all said yeah, so we attacked the kitchen and started making pancakes for everyone, plus cutting up fruit, berries, and other stuff for toppings. Once we had enough for the cousins, we called them in to eat as we cooked more for us and the adults.

As the cousins finished up, we heard someone at the front door. Miss Sexton went to see who it was and shortly returned with Sergeant Johnson, who was pleased to see me and Jennifer again, and we greeted her with Hello, Sergeant Johnson, to which she told us all to call her Britney. We then asked if she liked pancakes, to which she said I loved them. Once we made the last pancake, we all hoed into them, and we talked to Britney. She and Ben hit it off, both being police. I heard her tell him that she was glad he got what he wanted to do.

Britney talked to everyone else in the club, and by the time we had finished a mountain of pancakes and various toppings, I had a feeling I could really trust Britney. I looked at the other club members, and they returned my look, and we all nodded yes.

Jeremey looked at Ben and said, Ben, you're still the senior member of the club, so you lead.

Ben looked at Britney and asked her straight out: If we tell you something, will you keep it to yourself until we're ready to make a formal complaint? Britney looked at all of us and said, I figured you were feeling me out, and as long as it's not life-threatening, I'll say yes for now. Ben said you have to give us your word as they have money and probably have connections, so we don't want to move until we have enough evidence to nail all of them. Britney asked, How many people are you going after? Ben said definitely 6, but they're maybe more. Britney said, "Okay, I'll give you my word.

Ben said good. He then stood in front of her and told his story up until he got in his uncle's truck. Then, following his example, Sam and Tom stood in front of Britney and told their story, and then it was Jay's turn. Jennifer told her about her brother, and then I told her my story. By the look on Britney's face, she wasn't happy.

After I'd told her everything, including the part she knew about, Jeremey got up and told Britney everything we had, from the million-pound payments to our suspicion that they were hiding the fact that they knew each other, so no one looked at Florence House for the secret society called the Feminist Sisterhood, and the fact that every Wednesday they all gave different reasons, but there they were until at least five thirty pm every week. When Jeremey was finished, he nodded to Ben, then stood in front of Britney again and asked, Are you going to keep your word?

Britney had a face like she wanted to hit somebody but she got her temper under control and then finally said I want to take you all into protective custody and throw them into a jail cell with some very bad girls who know what they did and not come back until the next day but as much as I want to do that I agree with you we need to keep gathering evidence because we may be dealing with a group that has been around for over 100 years so yes they will have connections with some big wigs so we have to tread softly and I know where you're mothers go on Wednesday there's a new feminist political party starting up and they hold meetings every Wednesday till about four thirty-five o'clock and some of the members are very hard-liners to the point that they think males should only be kept for reproduction so all males should be locked up and milked daily for artificial insemination purposes only and kept for that reason only.

I've seen your mother there, Alex, with a group of five to six other ladies. Julie and Sandra pulled out their phones and showed Britney the pictures of the mothers, and Britney said that's them, but there's one more. Jeremey showed Britney a picture of Doctor Miller. Britney said no, that's not her that concerned him, as that meant there was someone new that they didn't know about. Britney pulled out her phone and showed us a picture of a pretty blonde. Sandra said I've seen her before, but I can't remember where. Then she said that's where I've seen her, and she told us that she saw her dressed in tight leather with a collar and a lead, and the Bitch was holding that lead.

Pam and Ebony said what? as they both knew what they called the principal. Britney had a questioning look on her face, so Sandra told Britney, Pam, and her mom all she knew about Miss Bright being a sadist and being into Bdsm and that she knew Miss Bright attended Bdsm clubs regularly, which Sandra said there was nothing wrong with her attending Bdsm clubs or being into Bdsm, but when she canes a student and gets off on doing it, that's wrong. Plus, she should have reported the mothers to child welfare years ago, but she let them put their sons into dresses and even did it to the students as a punishment.

Britney agreed that was very wrong and would like to see all the evidence Sandra had. Sandra said the best evidence is next door at Crystal's place. As the area manager for a lot of bars and clubs, she has CCTV footage of Miss Bright entering BDS clubs and has footage of her inside them as well. Jeremey and I were going to send the footage and the other evidence to the school board.

Britney told the group that wouldn't be a bad idea, but I didn't say that, and I definitely wouldn't suggest sending a copy to the papers. Sandra said I didn't hear you say a thing about the bitch.

Jeremey said I hate to throw a spanner into the works, but a new principal will stuff things up if they stop everyone from wearing dresses. Sam Tom and Alex said we can't be boys ever again, and if we get sent into a boy's dressing room, the nicest thing that will happen to us is getting beaten up by each other, which I don't even want to think about.

Sandra said okay, so when we take action against the mothers, we notify the board, and the papers agree. We all agree.

I asked Britney why she was at the political rally. Britney said I was investigating them. When a new political party starts up and isn't aligned with any of the other parties, we have to make sure they're not promoting hate speech or trying to push hate crime, which they are close to doing.

Britney said I was a feminist, but everyone has the right to be who they are as long as they don't hurt anyone. So now I class myself as a people because it's not always the wife's getting beaten up. I've seen a lot of husbands who get beaten up by their wives or males who are sexually assaulted by other males and females, but because the system is set up so only females can be victims, it's slowly changing for the better, but this sisterhood group would stuff everything up if they got power.

Jeremey said, What did you call them? Britney said the sisterhood; that's what they call themselves. Jeremey said I think you better find out where their funding comes from.

As he rubbed off Miss Sexton's shopping list whiteboard and wrote on it FEMINIST SISTERHOOD, he put a line through Feminist so it read SISTERHOOD. Britney said sh*t. I'm tired, as I didn't even click on that. I know how I'm going to write my report now, so I can do some legal digging into this alleged political party. Miss Sexton told Britney that if you need any computer help, contact me or talk to Jeremey; he's a good black hat.

Britney looked at Jeremey and said, You wouldn't happen to know who sent me a tip about some footage of an assault in an alley, would you?

Jeremey smiled sweetly and said, I have no idea what you're talking about seeing as Ben was home, we initiated Beth and Nikki into the chess club, verified Pam Ebony and Britney as trusted friends, and Jeremey sent the pictures to Stacy and explained the use of Stacy's shop as a post office and a meeting place when we can't use our phones.

Britney said great, as Stacy is great; she knows everything going on in the neighborhood. I'll call in tomorrow and give her the bad news about the sisterhood political party. I'm sure she'll love getting the word out about them.

We talked until late, and we headed off to bed. The cousins were sound asleep in the family room, so we just turned the TV off and let them sleep. Ben and Jeremey headed to their room, followed shortly by Jay. We wanted him to stay with us, but he confessed that his underwear was getting too tight being in the same room as us.

We were all very happy to hear as it meant he was a normal boy. Britney stayed all night talking with Miss Robinson and Miss Sexton.
