Chapter 5

A few days went by and I had to work the weekend shift this week. I went in to work on the 4- 11 shifts. I had just sat down at my desk and was going over some paperwork that I had left behind earlier in the week. I picked up the phone to see if I had any voicemails while I was off the last couple of days. There was one from my girlfriend who told me that she loved me and to have a nice day at work. I had another one from Scott. He said," Listen when you get this DJ give me a call." And the third one was from my buddy the Captain. He told me," Listen DJ I would like to discuss the closure of that case that we had open last week with that homosexual guy who got knifed to death." So, I figured I best call my girlfriend first since she was the biggest part of my life. Then I followed up with a call to Scott. He wasn't home so I left a message for him to call me back. I told him," that I would be here until 11 so he could get back to me before I got off work." And then I placed the call that I least wanted to do. I had to call the Captain. So I went to pick up the phone to call him and the phone started to ring in my ear, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Guess who it was, your right it was the captain. I said," Hi Captain I was just calling you on the phone." He said," DJ we have a few problems with that case from last week. I am sure you know that case that I am talking about." I said," Yes Captain I know what case you are referring to." So I said to him," What kind of problems do we have with this case Captain." He said," Listen DJ I know that we had our talk last week about you being Gay. I am trying my best to not let that get out. But we have a problem with the guy that we locked up." He said," that he knew your buddy Scott and that at one time you and Scott had a relationship." I said, " Listen Captain that was a long time ago. Its ancient history. Scott and I are just friends now, and that's all. Scott and I were involved when I was a lot younger and not on the force. It happened when we were in College. Scott and I have only a friendship now there is no relationship." I said," by the way what does this have to do with the case from last week." The Captain said," This guy that they arrested is going to tell his lawyer about you and Scott and I don't know how much damage control I can do. I just want you to be prepared for the worst. If this guys testifies to your relationship with Scott it will be all over the newspapers. I don't know why this guy wants to hurt you and Scott but for some reason he has some kind of vendetta against Scott. I suggest that you get together with Scott and find out what he knows about this guy." I said," Ok Captain I will call Scott tonight and see if we can sit down and talk. I will let you know what I find out if anything." So, the Captain left and I started to finish the paperwork that I left earlier in the week when the phone at my desk rang. I answered it and it was Scott on the other end of the phone. I said," Hey Scott we have to sit down and talk. Do you know that guy that was arrested for the murder of David." He said," Well DJ that's why I called you at work and left a message to call me back." "I got a phone call from this lawyer who is defending this asshole that killed David." " He said that the gentleman that he was defending mentioned my name." " I asked him how he knew my name." And the lawyer said," He said that he knew me from college and that he knew that I was a friend and lover of David's." I said," Do you really remember this asshole." Scott said," Well DJ I kind of, remember him, he was one of these rich school kids. You know the types that have everything that they could possibly want. He had Rich parents and I am not sure if they are still alive but if they are I am sure they will get him the best lawyer possible." So I said to Scott," Listen I have a problem. My captain said that this guy that they arrested his name is Ethan Johnston. Somehow, this guy knows about the affair that you and I had back in college and he is ready to expose that story to the newspapers. When I spoke to the Captain last week he had ask me all about whether or not I knew you were gay. And then he asked me the million-dollar question? Am I gay. I had no choice but to tell him the truth. I told him that I was gay but do to all the homophobia in the police department I asked him to keep it quiet. He told me today that I would probably have a lot of trouble once word got out that I was gay." I told him" that there was nothing going on with the two of us and that we were just good friends." He told me," Well Scott just be prepared for the worst. Keep you eyes open and your mouth shut and maybe things will just pass without too much bullshit from the other cops." He told me," that he will support me as much as he can with out sticking his neck out on the line." I asked Scott if he could come over to my house tonight so we could discuss this problem in person rather than on the phone. He agreed and we set a time of 11:45pm. I knew that the time was late but I had to discuss this with Scott in person.
