Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Eleven
Kelley spent the next week in the hospital before he was discharged and he walked into the lobby of the hospital to find half of the football team waiting for him along with Jesse. Applause rang out and the guys all slapped Kelley on the back. Even Lee gave him half a smile.“There he is!” Jesse grinned and gave him a bear hug.“What are you all doing here?”“You’re officially Public now.” Arlo’s voice was slightly over confident.“It took me getting beaten up to be official. I didn’t know I was your type, O’Neill.” Laughter rang out around them and Arlo grinned broadly.“You’re not that hot, Kelley.”They all walked to the parking lot with Mason carrying Kelley’s bag and Kelley was surprised to see his Escalade in the parking lot. The guys all made their way to various vehicles, some of which didn’t look roadworthy at all, and drove off with well wishes.“Thanks, Mason … for everything.”“You’re welcome, Kelley, I mean it. Now, it’s time to take you home.”Kelley froze in his steps a
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Twelve
Mason and Kelley fell into a brotherly routine. Nobody seemed surprised or fazed by the knowledge that Kelley was now living with Mason and his mother. They took turns with the Escalade and Mason’s Ford F-150 truck to drive to school.After school Kelley would stand on the side lines while the rest of the guys practiced football and he found that he actually liked helping the Coach. He gave advice when he saw mistakes and gave them the rundown on each and every team they’d play that season.Kelley found that he could remember mundane little things about different players and coaches from previous games and his knack to recall game details proved invaluable. It was a week later when Kelley sat at the kitchen table and drew up old game plans of every other Coach’s gameplays.Coach Maxwell sat in silence as he watched Kelley. Lee and Mason spoke in low voices. “That’s everything I remember.”“Kelley, this is amazing.” Kelley grinned at Coach Maxwell.“This run I remember from Heathcliff
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Thirteen
“No! Don’t touch me!”Kelley, Mason and Lee jumped up at the same time as Marella’s scream came from upstairs. Lee was the biggest and he physically pushed them out of his way as he ran up the stairs. Mason stopped and chuckled and Kelley grinned.Kelley and Mason stood just inside the room watching Lee as he held and soothed Marella. She was crying and Lee’s hand soothed over her hair and down her back. She was bunched up on his lap and he spoke soothingly to her.“You’re okay, I won’t let them touch you ever again.”Mason turned towards Kelley and whispered. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say Lee likes her.”“I can hear you, Mason.”“I was whispering!” Mason looked perplexed and Kelley moved towards the bed.“Don’t touch her, Kelley. I’ve got her.”Kelley stood his ground. “You okay, Marella?”“I said I’ve got her.” Lee looked angry and Kelley took a step backwards with his hands raised in surrender.“I’m okay, Kelley.” Marella’s voice was soft but clear.“Lee …”“Piss off, Mason.
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Fourteen
Mason, Kelley and Lee sat in Kelley’s car looking out over the harbour down by the docks. The smell of fish permeated the air and the three teens all had serious looks on their faces as they spoke in low voices.“When we strike it needs to be quick, quiet and with no comebacks.”Mason scratched his chin thoughtfully. “We need to keep it close to home as well. The three of us.”Lee nodded his agreement. “The more people know the bigger the chance that it gets out.”“We take our time. Our plan needs to be foolproof.”Kelley grinned. “I’ve got that covered. I know their routines, their houses, how to get in and out again.”“Who’s first on our list?”“How much can we trust Arlo?” Lee and Mason both looked at Kelley in surprise.“Why? We just said …”“We’ll need an alibi if anyone comes asking.”“I don’t think we should involve one of our teammates, even for an alibi. They won’t be as trustworthy,” Lee said.“I’m not asking my mom.” Mason shook his head as he spoke.“Jesse will vouch for u

Back in the car Mason started to laugh and Kelley glanced over at him. “What?”“Did you know your so-called friend uses no-hair products?”“Why would I know that?” Kelley’s frown spoke volumes, he didn’t want Mason to answer that question.Lee gave a half smile from the back seat. “What did you do, Mason?”“I mixed it with his hair gel.”They all laughed at the image of Hanson’s hair falling out in clumps as Mason drove back to lower Yorkdare Bay. They settled in the living room with a clear view of the dining room where Marella sat doing her homework.“There will be retaliation.” Lee’s voice was low even though Marella had her earphones in her ears.“The way they think … they’ll try to hit us where it hurts the most … Marella.” Kelley glanced at her.“We already foiled that plan but nothing stops them from coming after her again.”“Not if we strike again … before they can retaliate.” Mason smiled as he said that.Lee’s interest was piqued now. “How?”Kelley pulled his ringing phone f
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Sixteen
It had been a few days since the truce had been called and things seemed peaceful for the time being. Something was bothering Lee though. He’d been broody ever since and pacing up and down whenever they met up. “What’s going on with you?” Mason had had enough of Lee’s mood swings now. “Nothing.” Kelley taped a box shut and turned to look at Lee. “Lee, come on, it’s us. If you can’t talk to us then who can you talk to?” “Steve Jones is getting out of jail next week …” Kelley looked up at Lee with the tape roller still in his hand. “Who’s he?” “He’s the man who turned himself in so he could save me.” Lee’s jaw clenched and Kelley put the tape down on the closed box. “How can we help, Lee?” Mason stepped closer to them and Lee swallowed emotion away, his eyes betraying nothing. “I feel like I have to do something for him.” Mason clasped a hand on Lee’s shoulder. “I get that … have you gone to visit him?” “No. He’s in jail because of me.” Kelley shook his head. “He’s in jail bec

Lee turned his head away from her. She more than liked him. He didn’t know how to respond. Lee stiffened as Marella’s hand landed on his arm. He gritted his teeth and clenched his eyes shut. Marella removed her hand and Lee started the car. Marella stared out of the window with her heart in her throat. Lee wasn’t a talker or a toucher, he never touched her and the only time he had was that night with the fight, to prove his claim on her. She wasn’t sure what claim that was though. The night Lee had stopped next to the road to help her change that tyre had been a turning point in her life. She’d liked the quiet, broody boy. He was huge and at first she’d been frightened when he loomed over her. “Give me that,” Lee had said and then proceeded to change her tyre. He could text just fine but speak? He couldn’t hold a conversation and he preferred to just watch and listen. She was completely in love with him, since that first morning when she woke up to find him asleep on the floor next
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Eighteen
Things had quieted down and it had been weeks since the truce. Mason, Kelley and Lee relaxed and Marella started working at a clothing store after school and on weekends. It was early on Saturday morning and Kelley had just finished his shift, now loading trucks with Mason and Lee on the docks since his wrist had healed and rehab had strengthened it.Kelley pulled out his ringing phone as he walked to his Escalade. “Hello.”“Is this Kelley Alexander?”“Yes, who is this?”“This is John Campbell and I’m sorry for calling so early but I’ve been looking for you for months.”“Okay.”“Can we meet? I need to discuss your father’s will with you.”“My father’s will?” Kelley questioned. “As far as I know my father’s alive and well.”“You don’t know … where are you? I’ll come to you, this is quite urgent, Mr Alexander.”“I’m in Yorkdare Bay.”“I’m in the city. I can be there in an hour. Is there somewhere we can meet?”“There’s a diner on Long Road, I’ll meet you there.”The call ended and Kelle
