Eventually we ended up running into a patrol of guardsmen coming out of another bar some distance from the one we'd exited. The patrol was in a foul m...ood and they were pushing people out of their way as they made their way into the street. One of them tried to push me out of the way and the guardsman ended up on his ass."Hey," I bellowed with indignity, "watch where you're going."The response to that was immediate. The patrol leader took one look at his man lying on the ground and then one look. I was sweating from the pain. It was also sweltering in the Summer in Florida even with the air conditioning.“Now, as to Buddy and Lewis, you will be polite to them. You will refer to them as Master Buddy and Master Lewis or Sir, and they will not be permitted to punish you or give you direct orders,” My Mom said as she hit me again.I counted and said, I understood. She was using this affirmation period to hammer home new rules. She told me that I would be spending time with them and playing. That night I went to one of the three gay bars in town, being only 20, I was worried they wouldn't let me in. I was stocky and very mature for my age and appeared older than I was, they didn't even ask me for ID. I sat at the bar and ordered a beer, and right away two guys made their way over to me and sat on either side of me. I never felt attractive, so this kind of attention was new to me and a little overwhelming. One of the guys started to flirt with me and invited me to his hotel room, I. There was a compelling that went with the spell that I felt like answering, and it was not even directed at me!Shortly an image appeared in the air. It was Salvadi Minturi! Minturi took us all in, and actually gasped when he saw Fithian."So. You wish to go to war then, Salvadi?" Fithian asked with calm finality."What are you talking about? We have a treaty. There is no war!" Minturi said."You deny attacking my grandson, Paul? An attack that is tantamount to a declaration of war? If it's war you.
