It wasn't my Fault - The chess club - Part 18

OTHER PART | ALL STORY LIST

John thought about the text from Jeremey telling him to return to Ebony Sexton's home ASAP that he had received just before he started an interview with an 18-year-old girl the previous evening the girl was studying computer and accounting at a local college but she longed to go to a better college with better credentials but her mother wouldn't pay for her to do so.

The girl liked what John had told her but she didn't believe her mother would ever be punished for what she did to her. She was just great that the hormones worked and she looked like a girl and not a freak, she told John she'd love to help him, but not until she could get away from her mother.

John had told her that the EDUCATION TRUST would help her get away by giving her a place to stay at college plus giving her a weekly allowance and after she graduated they'd help her find a job.

John could tell he had her attention but she was reluctant, the course of her reluctance was the decade of dominance by her mother.

John wouldn't push her so John told her the trust would give her a scholarship regardless of whether she testified against her mother or not and to think about it and he'd be back to talk to her in a couple of days and then say goodbye to the girl then told his company driver that he had to get back to headquarters by tomorrow, which his driver said easy sir if you're ok with driving through the night we'll just pick up a co-driver and get going that should get you back to your digs by 8am at the latest, John said that's fine with me let's get going, he then replied to Jeremey telling him he'd be there tomorrow morning.

John was officially a recruiter for a EDUCATION TRUST group that paid for talented students to get a better education, that they'd normally miss out on, as they couldn't afford it. The EDUCATION TRUST group was part of the I T DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION but he was really talking to boys and girls who were the product of the sisterhood.

John had found a lot of boys who were being petticoated and luckily 90 percent of them were just in a dress but he had found about 10 percent of them that had been given hormones and it would be better for them to keep taking them as it was obvious that they could never go back to being a boy, John had sent all the information about the boys plus the ones who were now girls, to Jeremey so Jeremey could pass it to Britney for her growing case against the sisterhood.

John had also spoken to a lot of adult men and women who had gone through what the boys were going through, most of the men wanted to keep that part of their life private as it was too humiliating.

John could tell that some of the men didn't trust females that much and when asked about their mothers many had an open dislike for their mothers if not open hatred.

The women John spoke to were pretty much the same except more of them had open hatred for their mothers even the ones still living with their mothers privately hated them and longed for the day they could move away from them but publicly they had to support their mothers. The women John felt saddest for, were the ones who were forced by their mothers to go out on romantic dates with men when emotionally and physically they were still attracted to women.

John had sent all that information to Jeremey as well but with luck, in an hour he'd be talking to Jeremey but more importantly, he'd be hugging his sister whom he hadn't seen since he was 15 years old, he was almost 20 now, he has missed his sister but he had to leave as he couldn't let his mother do to him what he had seen done to another boy that he had met when his mother took him to see a doctor who was an old school friend of her's.

It was in the waiting room at the doctor's office that John got the scare of his life and he realized he would need to leave.

John's mother was busy talking to another woman who was the mother of the other boy waiting to see the doctor as well.

His mother and the other woman were having a good chat as they seemed to be old friends and didn't notice or care that the boys were talking to each other.

The other boy was dressed like John in a girl's school uniform but he looked more girly than John did.

John asked him how long has your mum made you dress like a girl?

He answered John just over 4 years. You he asked?

John told him about the same.

The boy asked John if he was here to get a hormone shot too?

This shocked John as he now instantly knew why the other boy looked more girly than he did,  and that it was why his mother had brought him here as she wanted him to get a shot too so he would start to look more girly too and it scared him that's what she wanted to do to him.

John said no I’m not how long have you been getting them?

The boy said once a month since I was 11 plus taking some pills daily.

John asked why are you taking them?

The answer was because my mother wants me to be pretty and it makes his mum happy.

John asked the boy don't you want to be a boy anymore?

The boy said Mum said I can be a boy again when I turn 18.

John looked at the mothers talking with each other then swallowed hard then told the boy what he knew about taking female hormones and what they would do to a male's body.

The boy shook his head and said his mother wouldn't do that to him.

There were a lot of pamphlets on the table in front of them and John saw one was about hormone therapy for sex change and what to expect from it.

John picked it up and handed it to the boy.

The boy read the pamphlet cover to cover then picked up another pamphlet about the side effects of hormone therapy.

John could tell the boy was getting upset the more he read he sat there quietly not moving or talking. He then stood up and walked towards his mother on the way he picked up a potted plant and then he hit his mother in the head knocking her over and kept hitting her with it until it fell apart he then punched her a couple of times in the face then kicked her in the stomach repeatedly he grabbed her bag and left.

John never saw him again so when John started talking to the boys and girls that were the results from the sisterhood he looked for that boy but he quickly found out that he had been on the run since he had hit his mother and that he had killed himself 2 years later.

His mother suffered a concussion, a broken nose, a fractured eye socket, and 4 broken ribs.

They had asked John if he knew why the other boy had done it? John had just told them he didn't know, and said the boy was just sitting there reading those pamphlets John pointed to the ones on the floor in front of the chair he was sitting on, the doctor then picked them up and looked at them than at the spot where the EMT's were working on the woman and shook her head.

I heard my mother ask why'd he do such a thing and the doctor told mum he must have figured out what the medication was doing to him and he didn't like that so he attacked her. John didn't see the doctor that day funny enough, as he looked for the boy John had heard that the mother after getting out of the hospital had tried to find her son until the police called her and asked her to the morgue to identify his body two weeks after identifying her son she committed suicide as well in her will she set up her country home as a school and shelter for runaway and abused children she also asked to be buried beside her son on her estate.

At the time of her death her net worth was around 35 million pounds so the shelter should be doing well but when John checked it out he could see it was starting to need some T L C so he checked out the trusties that were looking after the school and found out that they were ripping the shelter off John made sure Jeremey gave all that information to Britney as well.

After that day John started planning to go away it took him a year of planning and acquiring what he needed the only person he was going to miss was his sister and he got a trusted friend to watch out for her and left her a note and left, but now he was 15 minutes from seeing his sister and sadly the only family he cared about.

John knocked on the door and Ebony Sexton answered she smiled when she saw John as she'd interviewed him before he graduated and offered him a job and a place to stay.

Ebony invited him in and told him the girls hadn't woken up yet as they got some disturbing news and Jennifer was comforting her girlfriend Alex Ebony told John about the contracts as she showed him to the kitchen where they found Britney and Maddi talking about the case.

Ebony introduced John to the officers and then asked him if he had finished the list? John said 80 percent of the only ones I haven't spoken to are in hiding as they are either too humiliated or they are scared of their mothers finding them but if they come forward I'll talk to them. Ebony said not alone you won't not now not unless you take someone with you as I don't want anything to happen to you.

John conceded the point and Britney agreed if we need you to talk to any more victims you'll have a partner who will watch you're back and Britney knew just the right officer if they needed her.

They had a pot of tea and some toast as John told them about the victims he'd spoken to and their reactions to the idea of their mothers being prosecuted which they like a lot, they just don't believe it will ever happen, till they heard stirring from upstairs.

Then the girls came into the kitchen a couple at a time first Sam and Tom then Steph followed by Nikki and Jay, Julie and Sandra came in next followed by Beth Jeremy.

A few minutes later Alex and Jennifer walked in and she squealed at John when she saw him and jumped into his arms and hugged him for the longest time then she let go and punched him in the chest and said that's for taking so long to come back asshole. We all laughed at that then Jennifer told him off for doing all those interviews by himself he should have taken someone with him to watch his back as it wasn't safe.

Ebony Sexton laughed he wasn't alone Jennifer he just didn't know he had company.

John looked at Ebony and asked what do you mean?

Well, I know you wanted to look non-threatening so I always gave you a driver that looked none non-threatening but they were also there to watch your back some were male some female but they were all highly trained bodyguards that I hired personally to look after you.

John wasn't happy but Jennifer was and she thanked Ebony for looking after her brother Ebony said I have to look after my family don't I, Ebony then said let's get breakfast going and make sure everyone's up for it then asked Sam and Tom to wake everyone up Ben should be here soon.

Britney and her team came into the kitchen and started cooking or helping the girls to set the table and prepare stuff for the table luckily the house still had its large Victorian kitchen but with modern amenities.

As they were having breakfast Jennifer asked Ebony what did your company do? As John had told her about the recruiting he was doing and not I T work.

Ebony explained that the  I T DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Was mainly what its name was but it also was into education and developing higher learning so they formed the EDUCATION TRUST group which is part of the  I T DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION the TRUST firstly helps develop education programs to educate people faster than normal.

Then it got into scholarships to help talented students and everyday students. Talented students like John get tested for the fast track program like what John did and if the students want to try it they can but we only force the students to do it if they want.

The students can study at a normal pace which is fine too. It's what is best for the student.

The program came about because the owner of I T DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION wanted to give back to the children and make their lives better as she lost her children and it was through her actions that cost her, and her children as they killed themselves.

You see she was a member of the sisterhood. I was already a junior manager of the company and had gotten shares as a signing bonus I got more shares each time I was promoted and when I was promoted to CEO with the shares I was given as part of the promotion I owned over 30 percent I kept buying shares when they were available now had over 40 percent of the company, so when I found out the owner of the company went to Cambridge College and lived in Florence House. I took Britney and we confronted her, she broke down as soon as I asked her about her connection to the sisterhood.

She told us about her beautiful boys and how girly they were even before she gave them hormones and she was right as her office was full of pictures of them doing the things that kids do with their mums but none of them had them in a dress, but they looked like girls in boys clothes, she told us of how she decided to help them by giving them hormones and seeing as how girly they were she thought they'd embrace it but they didn't so at the age of 14 and 15 they found the hormones she had been giving them and they took their own life's. In their note, they told her that she shouldn't have taken their masculinity away from them without asking them first as they may have looked girly but they still wanted to be boys.

We could see she was heartbroken the life had gone out of her, she wanted us to arrest her then and there but we told her we needed more evidence, she knew instantly what we were looking for, she said she'd give us everything she knew about the sisterhood, she then told me why she had groomed and promoted me was because of her boys.

I remembered hearing that her children had died shortly after I'd started at the company but I didn't know the full story and that she was starting an Education Trust.

That's when I got my first promotion and I've been promoted almost every year with the promotion, I always got a gift of stocks in the company plus I bought more stocks in the company myself, so now I have over 40 percent of the company.

She told me she knew of my views on treating everyone equally and also knew I was a good person as I did a lot of volunteer work but didn't tell anybody about it, that's why she started grooming me for the CEO's job

After her son's death that's when she set up the EDUCATION TRUST after talking to us for an hour, she opened a file asked Britney to witness her signature then handed it to me. It was her voting rights for her part of the company, she said she would rather give me the company but that would make the sisterhood ask too many questions but just signing her voting rights over to me is no big deal as she could revoke it any time.

She then told Britney she was going to retire to her little country house and that when Britney was ready to arrest the others she'd be expecting to be arrested as well as she deserved it.

We had stopped eating as this news had blindsided us all.

Britney coughed then said I checked on her last week she's broken and she's wasting away she told me she had written out a complete statement for me and had it witnessed in case she's unable to talk as she wants the members of the sisterhood who keep this atrocity going to deserve to pay and pay dearly.

Ebony said I spoke to her 2 days ago and she told me about the statements and that she has made out her will out and that when she dies a bored of 5 people will take over the company and that I'll be one of the board member's which I told her I didn't want to be on the board, but she told me it's done.

Britney said I think the only reason she's held on this long is so Ebony was ready and able to take over then she'll just let go I don't think she'll last the year so her statements will be classed as a death bed confession and will hold a little more weight as no one wants to die with lies on their lips

There was a knock at the door, Brett said he'd get it if Ebony was ok with it, and she thanked him, he soon came back with Ben and Beth jumped into his arms but saw a Chief Superintendent walking in behind him and followed by a female officer was a surprise which made all the officers in the kitchen stand.

The Chief Superintendent told the officers to relax. Britney said we must be getting close to the end if you're showing your involvement, Sir. The Chief answered Britney not quite yet Sargent but we are getting closer that I can reveal my involvement to your team and the club members and their friends.

But first, I'd love a cup of tea then we can discuss everything.

Ebony poured a cup for the Chief Superintendent he thanked her and then asked Miss Sexton if would she be willing to take care of the girls on a permanent basis with the help of three or more adults. Ebony said yes of course I will but who are the other adults? The Chief turned to Steph Cutler and asked her if she would be willing to move in here and help Miss Sexton look after the girls seeing as their home is a crime scene and they won't be able to live there for a while. Steph said yes she would love to if Ebony wants me to.

Ebony said I'd love for you to move in and help with the girls.

The Chief then asked Pam Robinson would you be able to move in and help Miss Sexton. Pam Robitson said of course I'll help but do I have to move in? The Chief Superintendent said I'm afraid you do for legal reasons as there has to be at least three adults on site at all times but as the girls move out and stretch their wings, that number will drop. Pam said our lease is up and they were talking about upping our rent, so yes we will move in, I'll just have to find somewhere to store our stuff.

The Chief Superintendent said I can help you there I've got access to a storage facility so I'll arrange a unit for you free of charge. Pam thanked the Chief Superintendent. The Chief then asked the officers which one of you would move in here as well?

Maddi put her hand up and said I live in police housing so moving in here is a big step up in living conditions.

The Chief laughed at her joke and then said I'll notify my man in the legal section who's moving in he picked up his phone and made a call and he talked to someone and gave them the names of the adults who would be looking after everyone at Ebony's house.

Britney got a call then as well, Britney told whoever she was talking to arrange with legal to have them transferred back here and I'll tell their daughters and hung up, then turned to Josie and Jasmine who had Bean standing just inside the door of the kitchen and told them to come in and sit with their sisters Sam and Tom, once they were seated Britney told them that their mothers had been arrested trying to board The Eurostar with 2 million pounds each.

Jasmine said they were just going to leave us behind that's just typical of that self-centered bitch she then turned to Tom and said I'm sorry I've been a bitch to you and I hope you can forgive me, Tom.
