Scott's World-CH. 19
Shelby was waiting when Peter and Scott came down from the ridge. Peter patted Scott on the back, said keep your chin up and walked towards his office. Shelby could see something different about Scott's mood but didn't know what it meant.
"Hey everything ok? You look like you just concurred the world."
"Lets just say that I had the world lifted from my shoulders."
"Did you tell Peter about your Dad?"
"Yea but I think that he figured it out by himself some time ago. Oh, the little trip became even more interesting."
"How so?"
"Peter told me about a grandfather that I didn't even know that I had"
"Well how did Peter find out?"
"My dad called several days ago and told him. It appears that my grandfather is a very powerful man. I mean he has a lot of money and owns some huge corporation. Anyway, my parents never told him about me because my dad and my grandfather had a fight when he was younger and my grandfather disowned him."
"Do you think that is my your dad is so controlling over you?"
Scott stops to think. "I don't know. That hasn't crossed my mind. Would you please stop interrupting me so I can finish telling you this?"
Shelby smiled and gave him a quick kiss. She loved to see him flustered. "Go ahead and finish."
"I can't remember what I was saying, you distracted me."
"Distracting you is my all time favorite thing to do. You were saying that your grandfather disowned your dad."
"Oh yea right anyway, some how my grandfather found out that he has a grand son and I think he wants to meet me but my dad won't allow it. My dad seems to think that he might come here looking for me and he told Peter to not let him see me if he showed up."
"Well why not? Don't you think that he has a right to see you? How do you feel? Don't you want to meet him?"
" What is this group? I don't know maybe. I just think its funny that he threw my dad out because he didn't live up to his expectations and I'm worse than my dad was. Maybe when he finds out what I'm like than he wouldn't want anything to do with me either."
"I still think that you have the right to know your history."
"Enough of that. What have you been doing while I was gone?"
Shelby smiled a coy innocent smile and said "Nothing. You'll just have to wait and see."
Scott cooked his head; "You're guilty of something."
"Patience is a virtue Scott, you'll just have to wait and see."
He knew better than to argue with her. "Let's go get something to eat."

Spencer was at the Barrington corporate office building briefing Edward of his latest findings. Edward was on the computer going through the information that he downloaded from the disk that he got from Horizon. Edward was appalled at the information that he found.
"My God, what kind of father was Martin. How could he destroy my grandson's
Life like this and than abandon him at some out in the woods school with a bunch of degenerates and misfits? I'm defiantly going to have to rectify this situation. I'm going over there for a visit and see if I can get Scott to agree to come live with me. This is where he belongs."
"I had a conversation with him and he seems pretty smart for a kid. He had instincts that told him that I wasn't who I said I was. I don't think that he belongs at that school either. Maybe Martin was just trying to get rid of him. Getting your hands on him might be easier than you think."
"You did well. I'll call you if I need anymore assistance. Thank you Mr. Roberts and here is your earnings. Good Bye." After Spencer left, Edward called for his pilot to let him know that he needed to get his personal jet ready for a trip to Washington State.

The days have been going routinely at Horizon. It was killing Scott that Shelby seemed to have a big secret that she wasn't letting him in on. She had been disappearing every now and than and would show up without an excuse of where she had been. They were both sitting out on the picnic table doing some homework when a big fancy limo pulled up to the main building.
Scott, "Juliet I think someone is here to see you."
Juliet became overly excited like she usually does. "Mom didn't tell me that she was coming for a visit." She ran over to the car to meet the occupants inside. The chauffeur came around the side of the car and opened the door for Mr. Barringer. He stepped out and smiled at Juliet.
"Hello young lady. Is this the main office building?"
"Yes it is. Who are you looking for? Peter Scarbrow is at the wall with a group of students."
" Well I actually came to see my grandson Scott Barringer. Do you know him?"
"Yes he's right over there at the picnic table," she told him pointing her finger at Scott. The rest of the cliffhangers were hanging around watching Juliet. As soon as she pointed over to Scott he knew."
Scott, "Oh shit, I hope that's not who I think it is."
Peter was just coming in from his activity with the ridge-runner group when He spotted the car in front of the main office building. At first he thought that Juliet's mother came to visit because she was standing next to the car. Once he saw her point to Scott than he know that there was going to be trouble. Peter saw Scott stand up and start walking towards the car. Peter ran after him yelling his name. Scott turned around to wait for Peter to catch up.
"Scott you can't go over there."
"Why not? Is that my grandfather?"
"I don't know for sure but you are forbidden to see him if it is." Peter saw Roger and called over for Roger to take Scott away from the scene. Once Roger took Scott he headed over to the gentleman standing there. He put out his hand and introduced himself as the head dean of the school. Peter asked him to come inside to the office so that they could talk. Mr. Barringer introduced himself as Scott's grandfather and asked to visit with him.
Peter, "I'm sorry Mr. Barringer, I know that you must have come a long way but I can't let you see Scott."
"Why not? I'm his grandfather and I should have the right to see my grandson."
"Scott's father Martin called the other day and told me to be expecting you and if you were to show up that I was to forbid you access to Scott."
"So Martin knew that I was coming. Well it looks like this is something that needs to be taken up with him than."
"Yes sir, I'm sorry but I'm only following what instructions that were given to me."
"I understand your position that you have to cater to the parents but I want you to know that Martin has no right raising that child. If this situation goes to court regarding the custody of that boy than I can guarantee you that Martin won't stand a place in hell against me."
"Excuse me Mr. Barringer but when has the custody of Scott ever been an issue?"
"It hasn't yet but it very well could be. Good Bye"
Peter was in shock at the news that he had just heard. The first thing that he needed to do was call Martin and let him be aware of what just took place.
Mr. Barringer was in attack mode when he left Horizon. He couldn't get rid of the look on his grandson's face when he was being pulled away. Was it a cry for help? He wouldn't stop at anything to get his hands on Scott. Whatever it took. He pulled out his cell phone and immediately dialed the number for Spencer Roberts.
Spencer heard his phone ring and answered it. It was Mr. Barringer. It didn't take long for Mr. Barringer to ask for his help again. This was a whole new job to plan for. This was going to take more planning and a team of skilled players to assist him. The goal of this next job was to perform and get away with a kidnapping.

The day had finally come. The day that Shelby had anxiously been waiting for. The delivery truck had just arrived and Shelby quickly volunteered to help unload the truck. She told the man that he was suppose to take the can food items into the kitchen and that she would take care of the non-edible items. Shelby quickly ran through the boxes until she found what she was looking for. Bingo, they actually packed them. She took the items and hid them in her room until the right time. She continued dispersing all the other necessities out so she could claim time for helping and no one would suspect foul play. The next business on her agenda was to meet with Scott. Scott seemed a little misplaced ever since his grandfather showed up. She seemed to think that he was having an identity crisis. He didn't quite understand the war that went on years ago before he was born. Shelby was going to do her best to get Scott to forget all that family stuff. Tonight was going to just be about him and her.
Scott, "Hey Shel where have you been?"
"I was helping unload the delivery truck."
"That wasn't part of your work load today what gives? It's not like you to volunteer for anything."
She smiled, "I'm in a good mood today so I just felt like helping. You got a problem with that?"
"No, I never have a problem whenever your in a good mood. So what put you in such a good mood?"
"I was actually thinking of sharing my little secret with you tonight. You game?"
"Of course. You know how much this has been killing me to know what you've been up to."
"Ok, meet me by the lake after lights out."
The rest of the day just dragged on. Why is it when you have something to look forward to than time seems to stand still? Scott kept trying to get something or just anything from Shelby all day but she wouldn't budge. At dinner Scott continued to pester her.
"Come on Shel. Just one teeny tiny little clue, " he was practically on his knees begging. This whole scene just amused Shelby even more.
"Do you open your Christmas presents before Christmas?"
"No. You got me a present? Did ya? What'd you get me and where did you get it?"
"Scott give it up. I'm not going to tell you. I've got Kitchen duty now so I'll see you after lights out."
"Kill joy," he stuck his lower lip out and pretended to pout. She laughed because he looked like a little boy who was just told that there really wasn't a Santa Claus.
Later that night everyone was in his or her dorms getting ready for bed except Scott. He was pacing across the floor of his dorm.
Ezra, "Scott would you please sit down. You are wearing a hole in the floor."
"Sorry can't sleep."
Auggie, "Any particular reason why you are so wound up tonight?"
"Shelby has a surprise for me and she won't tell me what it is."
David, "Well than it wouldn't be a surprise anymore would it?
Scott just looked over at David with the shut up look on his face.
Ezra, "So when do you get to find out about this surprise?"
"We're meeting after lights out and she's going to show me"
David, "Maybe she's going to expose herself to you. I think that we should all go and see this little surprise."
Scott clenched his teeth together and held up his fist. "Maybe I should expose my fist in your face AD boy."
"Ok let's not get personal. Than again maybe she isn't"
Auggie, "Whatever Scott, just make sure that you don't get caught because then you'll be on shuns or hard labor forever."
"I'll be fine as long as certain people know how to keep there big fat mouth shut." He said that giving David a hard long stare.
David threw up his hands in surrender. "I've never seen you before in my life."
Scott, "Good keep it that way. I'm turning the lights out now and than I'll wait until the coast is clear."
Over in the woods a group of well-camouflaged men began scouting the area. Everything was going according to plan. They just needed to wait another two hours until they were for sure that everyone was asleep to carry out there adjective. Suddenly Spencer saw movement down near the docks. He got out his night-vision binoculars and took a look. He saw Scott with a blonde hair girl talking and joking with each other. It actually looked more like flirting to him. The girl put a blindfold on Scott, took him by the hand and lead him into the woods with a flashlight.
"Well guys change in plans. We need to improvise. It seems like our boy is heading into the woods for a little rendezvous with a female companion. This actually might make things easier for us because we'll be away from campus. We need to gather our gear and head that way."
Shelby still held Scott by the hand and was guiding him through the woods because she had him blindfolded.
"Shelby where are we going?"
"You want your surprise don't you? Stop whining."
They came to a small clearing that had a small two-man tent set up. Shelby told Scott to not take off the blindfold just yet and wait a minute. He could hear her moving around and making some noise. "Shelby what are you doing?"
"Not yet you'd better not be peaking are you peaking?"
"No scout's honor." He crosses his chest with his hand and holds up the boy-scout sign.
"Cut the crap Scott. I know that you were never a boy- scout."
"Well I used to be a cub- scout does that count."
When she was done making all the right preparations she went over and took Scott by the hand and pulled him into the tent. "Are you ready?"
"I don't know should I be scared?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Only with my life."
"Ok than you'll be fine. You can take off the blindfold now."
Scott pulled off the blindfold and took a second for his eyes to get used to the light. There were candles lit all over the place and a table set with a beautiful cloth covered in rose pedals. There were two glasses and a bottle of wine sitting on the table along with a pie that he recalled was missing from the kitchen earlier today. He couldn't believe it. "How did you pull all this off?"
Shelby was standing in the shadows before and now she decided to step forward. "Oh it still gets even better."
Scott turned to see what looked like a goddess approaching into the light with a light pink strapless dress made of satin. No words could describe what Scott was feeling. "Well handsome was it worth the wait?"
"I, you, how . . . . ."
"Speak clearly Scott."
"Oh my gosh you look like an angel sent down from heaven. You are so beautiful. I can't believe you did this."
"Well the first time I tried Ezra showed up. I made sure that little mistake didn't happen again." She walked over to the table and poured herself and him a glass of wine.
"How did you get the wine? I know that Peter doesn't carry it."
"Well lets just say that things were added to the delivery list that no one but me knows about so far."
Scott had a worried look on his face and Shelby knew what he must be thinking. "No Scott I didn't bribe the delivery guy. All I did was add a few things to the invoice."
"You're a genius. That's why you kept making so many trips to the woods. What else did you manage to smuggle in?"
"Well that depends on how far we get tonight." She handed him a drink. "You have two choices for desert."
"What's the two choices?"
Shelby walked over to the pie. "You can have apple pie or me." She turned around to face Scott as she let her dress slip down to the ground. He was just taking a drink of his wine when she exposed herself to him. He became choked up on his wine and started uncontrollably coughing. Shelby went over to him and started patting him on the back.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You just caught me by surprise."
Shelby smiled, "You wanted to know what your surprise was."
"This is the best present anyone has ever given me." With that said they both proceeded to kiss and touch each other. All those fears of being with another women were being erased from Scott's mind. This felt right. This is the way love is suppose to be. Two people in love sharing and expressing the same feelings towards each other. She wasn't using him and he wasn't using her. They were two souls joining together as one.
Scott was panting and breathing hard as he tried to get himself under control and speak. "Shelby we can't let ourselves get carried away."
"Don't you want me Scott?" She was afraid that he thought that she wasn't good enough for him.
"I want you more than anything in the world but I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and I don't want to get you in trouble."
"Are you ready for my second surprise?"
"Oh shit Shelby you're killing me here. What's your second surprise?"
Shelby went over to her pants that she had on earlier and pulled out a condom from the pocket.
"Well you definitely have all the basics covered don't you?"
She walked back over to him and began undressing him. "Not covered yet but soon."
After the joining of there two souls they laid there together expressing there feelings for one another. "Shelby I just wanted you to know that know matter how many other times I've had sex it never felt this good. It just felt right some how with you."
She looked up into his angelic face and caressed it. "I never knew what making love really was. Before it was just sex but with you it was how making love is suppose to be. You made me feel special and not like some tramp off the street."
"You are special Shelby. Why don't we both forget about our past experiences with sex and remember this as the turning point of a new future. I love you Shelby and I want you in my future. I want you to be apart of my life. Will you share it with me?"
Shelby was crying tears of joy now. "Of course I'll be apart of your life if you want me to. I always thought that I didn't deserve someone like you."
"Don't ever sell yourself short. You deserve the same happiness as the next person. Why don't we leave this tent here and we can call it our little getaway vacation resort. We better head back before we both get on shuns for a month. I'd have a hard time not seeing you for that long."
They both got dressed and blew out the candles and was preparing to leave when all of a sudden they were attacked from behind. Something was held over there mouth and noses until complete blackness took over.
Shelby woke as the sun was just beginning to come up. Boy did she have a splitting headache. She rubbed her head and sat up until she could get her bearings. She wasn't in her bed at the dorms like she should be. She opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on the ground of her and Scott's secret meeting place. Boy she must have really had to much wine last night. She started smiling when she slowly started remembering the sensual lovemaking that took place last night. This night lasted longer than was suppose to. Scott and her and better head back soon before someone notices that they were missing.
"Scott, Scott. We need to get going." She heard no answer and she went into the tent thinking that he must be passed out in there. When she looked inside she didn't see him. Panic sat in as she started running around the camp calling for him. She started getting pissed off thinking that he must have went back to camp with out her. She started back as her mind was running different scenarios. This might be good that they go back at different times because than no one could place them together. Scott must have been thinking of that. She got back to the dorm just as everyone was heading out for breakfast so she joined them as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened. You couldn't wait to join Scott for breakfast. When she got to the dinning hall all the cliffhanger boys were already sitting down eating. Shelby walked over to them with her tray.
"Where's Scott?"
Auggie, "What do you mean where's Scott? Didn't you and him go out last night?"
"Yea but he come back before me"
Peter walked in, "Hey cliffhangers how are things this fine morning. Where's Scott?"
They all looked at Shelby and she started to have a look of horror on her face.
Ezra, "Shelby he never came back."
Peter, "Who never came back. What's going on? Shelby talk to me."
So much was running through Shelby's head as she tried to remember all the events that happened earlier. Than it finally sank in. Just when Scott and her were starting to head back to campus she remembered that they were attacked from behind. Shelby let out a blood- curling scream as she fell to her knees and started weeping and wailing.
"OH GOD THEY TOOK HIM. THEY TOOK SCOTT."
To be continued
Shelby was waiting when Peter and Scott came down from the ridge. Peter patted Scott on the back, said keep your chin up and walked towards his office. Shelby could see something different about Scott's mood but didn't know what it meant.
"Hey everything ok? You look like you just concurred the world."
"Lets just say that I had the world lifted from my shoulders."
"Did you tell Peter about your Dad?"
"Yea but I think that he figured it out by himself some time ago. Oh, the little trip became even more interesting."
"How so?"
"Peter told me about a grandfather that I didn't even know that I had"
"Well how did Peter find out?"
"My dad called several days ago and told him. It appears that my grandfather is a very powerful man. I mean he has a lot of money and owns some huge corporation.

The days have been going routinely at Horizon. It was killing Scott that Shelby seemed to have a big secret that she wasn't letting him in on. She had been disappearing every now and than and would show up without an excuse of where she had been. They were both sitting out on the picnic table doing some homework when a big fancy limo pulled up to the main building.

The day had finally come. The day that Shelby had anxiously been waiting for. The delivery truck had just arrived and Shelby quickly volunteered to help unload the truck. She told the man that he was suppose to take the can food items into the kitchen and that she would take care of the non-edible items. Shelby quickly ran through the boxes until she found what she was looking for. Bingo, they actually packed them. She took the items and hid them in her room until the right time.

Ezra, "Scott would you please sit down. You are wearing a hole in the floor."
"Sorry can't sleep."
Auggie, "Any particular reason why you are so wound up tonight?"
"Shelby has a surprise for me and she won't tell me what it is."
David, "Well than it wouldn't be a surprise anymore would it?

"I don't know should I be scared?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Only with my life."
"Ok than you'll be fine. You can take off the blindfold now."
Scott pulled off the blindfold and took a second for his eyes to get used to the light. There were candles lit all over the place and a table set with a beautiful cloth covered in rose pedals. There were two glasses and a bottle of wine sitting on the table along with a pie that he recalled was missing from the kitchen earlier today. He couldn't believe it. "How did you pull all this off?"
Shelby was standing in the shadows before and now she decided to step forward. "Oh it still gets even better."
Scott turned to see what looked like a goddess approaching into the light with a light pink strapless dress made of satin. No words could describe what Scott was feeling. "Well handsome was it worth the wait?"
"I, you, how . . . . ."
"Speak clearly Scott."
"Oh my gosh you look like an angel sent down from heaven. You are so beautiful. I can't believe you did this."
"Well the first time I tried Ezra showed up. I made sure that little mistake didn't happen again." She walked over to the table and poured herself and him a glass of wine.
"How did you get the wine? I know that Peter doesn't carry it."
"Well lets just say that things were added to the delivery list that no one but me knows about so far."
Scott had a worried look on his face and Shelby knew what he must be thinking. "No Scott I didn't bribe the delivery guy. All I did was add a few things to the invoice."
"You're a genius. That's why you kept making so many trips to the woods. What else did you manage to smuggle in?"
"Well that depends on how far we get tonight." She handed him a drink. "You have two choices for desert."
"What's the two choices?"
Shelby walked over to the pie. "You can have apple pie or me." She turned around to face Scott as she let her dress slip down to the ground. He was just taking a drink of his wine when she exposed herself to him. He became choked up on his wine and started uncontrollably coughing. Shelby went over to him and started patting him on the back.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You just caught me by surprise."
Shelby smiled, "You wanted to know what your surprise was."
"This is the best present anyone has ever given me." With that said they both proceeded to kiss and touch each other. All those fears of being with another women were being erased from Scott's mind. This felt right. This is the way love is suppose to be. Two people in love sharing and expressing the same feelings towards each other. She wasn't using him and he wasn't using her. They were two souls joining together as one.
Scott was panting and breathing hard as he tried to get himself under control and speak. "Shelby we can't let ourselves get carried away."
"Don't you want me Scott?" She was afraid that he thought that she wasn't good enough for him.
"I want you more than anything in the world but I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and I don't want to get you in trouble."
"Are you ready for my second surprise?"
"Oh shit Shelby you're killing me here. What's your second surprise?"
Shelby went over to her pants that she had on earlier and pulled out a condom from the pocket.
"Well you definitely have all the basics covered don't you?"
She walked back over to him and began undressing him. "Not covered yet but soon."
After the joining of there two souls they laid there together expressing there feelings for one another. "Shelby I just wanted you to know that know matter how many other times I've had sex it never felt this good. It just felt right some how with you."
She looked up into his angelic face and caressed it. "I never knew what making love really was. Before it was just sex but with you it was how making love is suppose to be. You made me feel special and not like some tramp off the street."
"You are special Shelby. Why don't we both forget about our past experiences with sex and remember this as the turning point of a new future. I love you Shelby and I want you in my future. I want you to be apart of my life. Will you share it with me?"
Shelby was crying tears of joy now. "Of course I'll be apart of your life if you want me to. I always thought that I didn't deserve someone like you."
"Don't ever sell yourself short. You deserve the same happiness as the next person. Why don't we leave this tent here and we can call it our little getaway vacation resort. We better head back before we both get on shuns for a month. I'd have a hard time not seeing you for that long."
They both got dressed and blew out the candles and was preparing to leave when all of a sudden they were attacked from behind. Something was held over there mouth and noses until complete blackness took over.
Shelby woke as the sun was just beginning to come up. Boy did she have a splitting headache. She rubbed her head and sat up until she could get her bearings. She wasn't in her bed at the dorms like she should be. She opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on the ground of her and Scott's secret meeting place. Boy she must have really had to much wine last night. She started smiling when she slowly started remembering the sensual lovemaking that took place last night. This night lasted longer than was suppose to. Scott and her and better head back soon before someone notices that they were missing.
"Scott, Scott. We need to get going." She heard no answer and she went into the tent thinking that he must be passed out in there. When she looked inside she didn't see him. Panic sat in as she started running around the camp calling for him. She started getting pissed off thinking that he must have went back to camp with out her. She started back as her mind was running different scenarios. This might be good that they go back at different times because than no one could place them together. Scott must have been thinking of that. She got back to the dorm just as everyone was heading out for breakfast so she joined them as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened. You couldn't wait to join Scott for breakfast. When she got to the dinning hall all the cliffhanger boys were already sitting down eating. Shelby walked over to them with her tray.
"Where's Scott?"
Auggie, "What do you mean where's Scott? Didn't you and him go out last night?"
"Yea but he come back before me"
Peter walked in, "Hey cliffhangers how are things this fine morning. Where's Scott?"
They all looked at Shelby and she started to have a look of horror on her face.
Ezra, "Shelby he never came back."
Peter, "Who never came back. What's going on? Shelby talk to me."
So much was running through Shelby's head as she tried to remember all the events that happened earlier. Than it finally sank in. Just when Scott and her were starting to head back to campus she remembered that they were attacked from behind. Shelby let out a blood- curling scream as she fell to her knees and started weeping and wailing.
"OH GOD THEY TOOK HIM. THEY TOOK SCOTT."
