Juvenile Deterrence. By Steam Train (steam_t2000@yahoo.com)
Chapter: 34 A New Life - Conclusion.
Life had settled into a routine for Daniel. There were occasions where he ran foul of a free citizen or was deemed not to be working as hard as a NEWDD slave was expected to do, however on the whole his life as a NEWDD was not as bad as he had expected. As is often the case the anticipation and dread of something is often far worse than it eventuates in being.
His relationship with his brother Eric was far better now than it had ever been and they were now getting along fabulously. With their fathers blessing Daniel was a regular visitor to Eric's room most nights.
Melissa knew of their activities and took a surprisingly mature view of their actions. She blatantly informed her parents and her brothers that it was none of her business and what they did in private should not be the concern of anyone else!
Of his close friends from the Henson street gang who had been sentenced to serve time as a NEWDD Charlie, Josh and Joey who had been charged with lesser crimes finished their NEWDD time after only one month. Rick and Brady who had supplied the cans of spray paint served two months before their time was up.
By the end of the third month Daniel was the longest serving NEWDD at his school, at the mall and in community service. He had become such a regular at the shoe shine stand that some of the members actually began to talk to him, putting aside their prejudices about slaves. During his three months he had had Brady as his partner for two of those months. When Brady finished his time he was joined over the last month by a succession of short sentence NEWDD's.
One of his regular customers on Thursdays was Gary Foster-Brown. Without fail Gary had his shoes shined after the junior associates had played. Though Gary had said it would be very unwise for them to meet up again after their heated sexual encounter early in his sentence, Gary lacked the will power to uphold his own belief. At the mall on Sundays there was no sign of Gary for three weeks after his initial meeting with Daniel however the longing in Gary's heart grew too strong. Gary hired out Daniel the following week and from then on it became a regular part of Daniels Sunday that he was the shopping trolley for Gary. On two occasions Daniel actually accompanied Gary home and in the privacy of Gary's bedroom enjoyed a passionate kiss and cuddle with his new close friend.
His relationship with Marco had also grown deeper. On most Fridays if his father approved Daniel was allowed time with his long time friend. There was no sex but as the weeks passed Daniel enjoyed a deepening physical relationship with Marco. They kissed and cuddled and Marco regularly masturbated Daniel to dry orgasms.
To complete Daniels classic love triangle his mentoring of Aaron Parker slowly developed into an equally deep physical relationship.
Neither Gary, Marco nor Aaron knew of the others existence and they certainly did not know that Daniel was enjoying a sexual relationship with each of them.
One of Daniel very infrequent discipline breaches occurred just near the end of his third month as a NEWDD. He was being lead by a twelve year old girl and her two friends around the mall on that particular Sunday when he was unable to contain his arousal at being fondled by the three pretty looking girls. As he orgasmed he called out, "I'm cumming" as required but he didn't reach for a tissue as nothing ever came out.
This time he was wrong.
For the first time in his life he produced some seminal fluid and it dribbled onto the girls hands and then onto the mall floor. This was a major punishment breach by Daniel but even though it resulted in a severe spanking from his overseer and follow up punishment the next Saturday, nothing could damper Daniels joy at finally achieving a wet cum. The fact that only a few drops of clear fluid dribbled from his penis was of no concern to Daniel. He was ecstatic at his new sexual prowess.
Daniel still had one month of his sentence to serve when a letter arrived addressed to his father advising that due to Daniels good behaviour and voluntary community service as a mentor to Aaron his sentence had been reviewed and from the next Saturday he was to be placed on probation as a NEWDD for the remaining three weeks. He would be able to dress for the first time in just over three months from next weekend. This was exciting news for Daniel.
On his second last day as a NEWDD Daniel was working the shoe shine stand at Piney Hills Golf Club as usual. It was late and his customers had dwindled when Ben Woods appeared with another man and took up positions on the shoe shine stand.
Daniels NEWDD partner at this time, was Mike Hewitt a fourteen year old who was serving a short two week sentence and so had not been shaved.The truth was Mike wasn't very hairy but what little pubic hair he had was his pride and joy and a sign of his maturity. Daniel felt that though he never said anything Mike was secretly proud he was more developed than Daniel. At fourteen most guys were more developed than Mike so it seemed Mike was glad he had found someone worse off than himself.
Mike began shining Ben Wood's shoes whilst Daniel gave the already very polished shoes of the other man a shine.
"This is the NEWDD who caused me to ring you the other months about the lack of urgency I was receiving for the NEWDD officials" Ben Woods informed the other man.
"Well glad I could help you then Ben, but it saddens me that I had to get my law clerk to ring the authorities to get some action. Your concerns should have been enough" the other man said.
"You always were the idealist Josh, sadly the real world does not always work the way you think" Ben replied.
It was then that the identity of the other man dawned on Daniel. This was Ben Woods's brother, Chief Justice Joshua Woods.
Daniel stoped polishing momentarily as this fact dawned on him and Justice Woods noticed the momentary pause also.
"Something wrong son?" Justice Woods asked.
`No sir, I'm sorry Chief Justice Woods for disturbing you" Daniel replied politely.
`You know who I am at your age? Most teenagers it seems to me don't even know what the Supreme Court is let alone who is who on it"
"Sir I have studied your life at school. I wish my meeting of you was not in such a humiliating circumstance for me. You are one of the people I admire most in life. You have achieved so much from a very tough beginning" Daniel responded with obvious sincerity.
"Son as you obviously know I was once an indentured slave, so do not be humiliated by your circumstances, I wasn't. There is a noble side to slavery though it is hard to find. If you learn from your time as a NEWDD as I learned from my time as an indentured slave then you can train yourself to be so resolute, so focussed, so determined that no one can stop you" Justice Woods informed the now awe struck Daniel.
"Yes sir" was all Daniel could reply.
`What do you want to do with your life boy?" the judge asked.
Blushing Daniel told the truth, "I want to follow in your footsteps sir. You were a local who made good. I want to prove that I can do it too and become a lawyer, maybe even a judge."
"That will require a lot of hard work, but as I proved it is possible. I was fortunate I can see now looking back, that I was enslaved. It forced me to focus on my goal and removed all temptation, well most temptation from my life. I trust you are not besotted with some teenage love affair or madly dreaming of a sporting career as well as a legal career" the judge asked.
Before he could answer the red blush that swept across Daniels face told the experienced legal practitioner that he had hit a raw nerve.
"Love or sport? Which is the problem?"
Justice Woods had these hugely compassionate eyes that made Daniel just want to confess the truth of his sexual preferences. It was a very brave move but Daniel briefly told of his ever complicating love triangle.
When the fact that Daniels lovers were all male came out, Justice Wood smiled at his brother and to Daniels great relief the judge showed little emotion besides commenting to his brother, "Very interesting, very interesting indeed."
It seemed to Daniel that as the two men walked away from the shoe shine stand that night that they were still discussing Daniel. They were soon out of hearing but just before that happened Daniel was sure he heard Ben Woods warn his brother to be very careful if he was thinking what he suspected he was thinking.
The look of revulsion that Daniel got from his fellow NEWDD about his disclosure of his sexual orientation immediately told Daniel he would not have to worry about an additional relationship developing between Mike and himself!
The next day, Daniels last day as a naked NEWDD, there was a letter awaiting him when he returned home from school. His father showed him the letter and commented on the letterhead, `The Supreme Court of the United States of America'.
There was a very worried look on his fathers face but Daniel guessed correctly that it did not signify trouble.
In fact it was an invitation for Daniel and his whole family to join Justice Woods in the private dining room of the Piney Hills Golf Club tomorrow, being Saturday, for dinner.
Mr Green was amazed and speechless at such an invitation. Chief Justice Woods was the most famous and influential living local citizen. To be invited to dine privately with him was an enormous honour.
Numerous times that night Daniel was forced to explain to the various members of his family how he came to meet the Chief Justice. The one thing he could not answer was why Justice Woods would wish to meet with him and his family. In truth they had had but the briefest of meetings.
That Saturday morning was a major event in the Green household. Daniel's room had been reopened the night before and neat clothing was laid on his bed in preparation for the next morning. When Daniel awoke for the last time in his basement bed Tom personally washed the blushing Daniel and walked him up to his bedroom where he dressed the boy in clothes for the first time in three months. The feel of clothing on his skin felt very strange to Daniel and he had to fight the urge to strip off and enjoy the freedom that he now realised he had enjoyed these last months.
The whole Green family drove to the Juvenile Court where a clerk with very little ceremony unlocked Daniels NEWDD collar consisting of a metal chain coated in a bright pink plastic and metal mesh.
He was free!
The feeling was indescribable for Daniel. He didn't know why but at the moment of his triumph he burst out crying. He had toughed it out very well since the first few days of his sentence. He had beaten the humiliation and the embarrassment. Now he was free his emotions overflowed.
His mother then his dad, followed by Eric and Mel all hugged him tight till he recovered his composure. When Mrs Green suggested that they all adjourned to a restaurant she knew down the street for breakfast Daniel made a counter suggestion.
"Could we buy some to go and have breakfast back home with Tom? I feel bad leaving him out of this.
Mrs Green blushed, feeling a pang of guilt that she had forgotten Tom. Mr Green smiled at his son's thoughtfulness and readily agreed to his suggestion.
That evening they felt like VIP's as they drove up to the front entrance of the Piney Hills Golf Club. They were escorted by servants into the inner sanctum of the exclusive club house and ushered into the private dining room where the impeccably dressed Justice Woods greeted them.
Apart from Justice Woods the only other person present was his brother Ben.
Justice Woods was an amicable dinner host and soon Owen and Vicki Green were deeply involved in conversation with the two Woods brothers.
Later in the evening as they sipped port and partook coffee Justice Woods returned to his conversation he had had on Thursday with Daniel.
"Daniel tells me he wants a career in law like I achieved and Ben tells me your son is academically inclined and a hard worker. Excuse my forthrightness but are you in a financial position to ensure Daniel can go to the best law colleges" Justice Woods asked.
Mr Green was no fool and he took this comment to be what it was, an offer of financial assistance. If he played his cards right he thought to himself, maybe the Justice would assist in Daniels education.
Discussion continued and Daniel sat to the side of the room enthralled at where this was all leading.
Then like a lightning bolt Justice Woods played his trump.
"Owen and Vicki I want to help Daniel achieve his goals in life. Daniel also confided in me he likes boys as well as girls in a sexual way. That took courage to confess to a virtual stranger, yet he did and that more than anything convinced me Daniel was special and worth my efforts.'
"You may know that I was enslaved as a Booth boy at the age of thirteen. My enslavement through those formulative years of my early teens gave me the grounding I needed to achieve great things in my life. I am offering the same chance to your son. He is caught in an ever complex love triangle between three males he equally likes. Such a choice is something most fully mature males could not make with confidence, at fifteen it will lead to great distraction for Daniel"
"I am offering to indenture Daniel into my service for the remainder of his high school years and then guarantee to provide Daniel with a college education at the end of his indenture should he wish it".
"There is no way I will ever consent to a child of mine being voluntarily enslaved" Mr Green emphatically replied supported by the nodding of his wife. "I despise those parents who sell their children into slavery for a slice of the almighty dollar. I know this is slightly different but I will never consent to Daniel being enslaved, never!"
"Your reaction does not surprise" Justice Wood s replied, "My brother said you would reject my offer outright. Still I wanted to make it, otherwise I would never have known if I could have been of help. My plan was that Daniel would have lived with me in my residence in Washington. I live alone with no slaves and I lost my best friend who lived with me and cared for me some years ago now. I was hoping Daniel could study at the Booth Institute in Washington and help me around my residence. He would have been an indentured slave but I am not a harsh master. There would be firm discipline if required and I would expect a real work ethic. In return I felt that Daniel would be placed in a good position to go on to great things once his indenture was over."
Mr Green was about to reconfirm his ardent objection to the proposal when Daniel interjected.
"I want to take up the offer dad."
Mr Green looked at his son in amazement, Mrs Green gasped and both Eric and Melissa cried out, "No Daniel, no don't". Ben and Joshua Woods both looked equally surprised.
Holding up his hand to stop any other protests, Daniel continued, "I have been a NEWDD for three months. I have been ridiculed, humiliated embarrassed. I can take being indentured till I finish 12th grade and look at the opportunities Master Woods is offering me."
Turning to face his parents Daniel said, "Negotiate lots of visiting rights mum and dad because I will miss you all, but I want this dad. I want it bad. I want to be a lawyer and I want to get away from Eastbrook so I do not break my heart and the heart of Marco, Gary or Aaron. This way we will all miss each other but it will give us time to sort out our own feelings. I don't know if I am really gay, bi or hetro. By the time I am finished in Washington I am sure I will know myself far better" Daniel informed the stunned room.
As much as his family tried no one could change Daniels mind on this matter and Justice Woods certainly did not try too hard to deter him from his decision.
By the end of the night it was agreed. Daniel would be indentured to Justice Woods for the remaining two and a half years of his high school studies.
Justice Woods suggested and Mr and Mrs Green agreed that it would be better if the court application for Daniels indenture was processed in Washington. This would be easier on Daniel and cause far less gossip in the local Eastbrook community.
The preparations for Daniels move to Washington were quickly made and by the Wednesday all was ready for the move.
Daniel made his goodbye to Tom in the privacy of the basement. Grown men didn't cry but many a tear was shed by Tom and Daniel and they stood hugging tightly for many minutes before Tom hurried Daniel upstairs to waiting family.
All the Greens accompanied Daniel to Washington and the very next morning they all attended a court in Washington to have Mr Green's indenture application regarding Daniels enslavement heard.
Justice Woods did not attend the hearing. Daniel would first be indentured to his father then sold by private treaty to Justice Woods. This way it was a private transaction and would remain out of the glare of public scrutiny.
At the court the hearing was scheduled to be heard before Justice Henry Sorrenson. Judge Sorrenson was a traditionalist and a stickler for proper protocol, though he had a solid reputation amongst his peers for dealing fairly and squarely with miscreant slaves, while having a good nose for suspect activities by unscrupulous parents, owners and dealers.
When Daniels case came before him, Judge Sorrenson listened to the submission made by the lawyer appointed by Mr. Green to represent him. On completion of the opening submission the judge asked a series of questions to both Daniel and his parents questioning the motives in seeking the indenture of Daniel.
Mr. Green responded to the judge by stating, "Daniel sees his indenture as a means of advancing his life, a chance to learn here in Washington at the Booth institute. To study at the booth Institute you have to be indentured. The natural law that governs the relationship between parent and child, father and son is hard to break, but break it I will if and only if my son desires that to happen. Daniel has a conventional outlook on life, and had only respect for the law, the courts, the slave system and the society that it serves. He is entering into this indenture with the firm belief that there is a noble side to slavery and that it can benefit him. I will support him in this however I can, thus our presence here today.
After Mr. Green had finished there was an appreciative silence in the court. He had made his point well.
There followed the usual banter of legal argument until finally the last of the arguments ended and the judge announced that he would give an immediate verdict.
The application was approved.
"Daniel Green you are hereby indentured to serve as a community servant till you turn the age of eighteen." The Judge then banged his gavel twice.
'Bring the newly enslaved to the bench to be stripped and collared" the judge ordered.
Mr. Green's lawyer objected, requesting that Daniel be allowed to maintain his clothes, as a private treaty sale had been agreed and Daniel would not need to be stripped for sale.
The judge disagreed stating that all slaves appeared before his court naked and told a court official to have the guards strip Daniel then collar him.
Daniel though now very used to being naked in public looked very frightened as he was led over to stand before the judge.
The guards were rough. One produced a hooked knife and quickly cut away Daniels clothes. He was then forced onto his knees and made to lean forwards and place his head on a block that contained a collaring and locking device. When his head was in place, a court official stretched a length of the black and yellow striped collar metal around his neck, pulled it tight so it ran just under the Adam's apple, and then cut it with a small guillotine. A lock was then applied. This only took a few seconds during which Daniels naked behind was sticking up in the air for all to see.
In a less fraught atmosphere this might have caused giggles among those present, but as things were, the sight produced only scowls and mutterings from the Green family.
Daniel on the other hand was used to the humiliation and the embarrassment. He was resigned to experiencing some of the bad aspects of slavery, but he trusted his new master, Justice Woods and firmly believed the good aspects of his new life would greatly outweigh the bad.
Late that afternoon after the Supreme Court had adjourned for the day a dressed and collared Daniel Green was taken by his family to meet his new Master, Justice Woods at his residence.
As he stood there in his formal lounge room looking at Daniel, Chief Justice Joshua Woods though to himself, `In time I hope he finds himself as he hopes, but more than that I hope that he might come to like me and maybe hope against hope come to want more than just a friendship.'
It was possible. Some young guys found great contentment in the arms of older guys. Justice Woods had pined in secret all these years since his secret lover Steve Wright had passed away for a partner he could trust.
It was time he now decided to cast out a new line and see what he could real in. He hoped it would bring not just a legal protégée but a new lover into his life.
Daniel was unaware of Justice Wood's sexual preferences and that evening after his family had joined Justice Woods for dinner, a dinner cooked by caterers, and they had said their tearful goodbyes Daniel found himself alone with his Master for the first time.
Justice Woods sat Daniel down in his den and they talked long into the night. They talked not as Master and slave but as two intelligent human beings. His new master had such a skill at putting Daniel at ease that Daniel was soon telling all his inner most thoughts to his new Master. Daniel poured out his hatred of slavery, not because of what it had achieved but because of what it did to human dignity. His Master listened; he was a good listener as a Judge had to be.
Daniel told of his close friendship with Marco, Gary and Aaron. He told how far he had gone sexually with them and where he had drawn the line. He told how he was finding it harder and harder to draw that line.
His Master listened.
When Daniel had exhausted his life story his Master asked Daniel to tell him what he knew about Justice Woods.
His Master listened.
When Daniel had finished his Master calmly and serenely told Daniel with the confidence of a very successful man who knew his place and status in life the real truth about Joshua Woods.
His Master had listened; he had weighed up what Daniel had said and what Daniel stood for. As he listened he had came to trust this boy already.
Daniel was speechless when he learnt the truth about his Master.
His Master smiled, Daniel smiled, and then his Master motioned for him to move over to him.
His Master embraced Daniel and said, "Don't be afraid of me Daniel. I desire the things a master desires of his personal slave, but what I desire and what I will have are two different things. I will never order you to give me sex or to have sex with me. If that happens it will be because we both wish it."
Daniel didn't know what to say. He had no sexual longing for this man, yet he was already beginning to really like him.
"Thank you sir, for your word on this, my parents will be pleased and so am I" Daniel replied.
"I am however still your Master Daniel and that does have its rewards as well as its responsibilities" Justice Woods said, then taking a forced swallow and a deep breath he asked for what he desired, "I am sorry I had to have you indentured Daniel but to live here in the same house as me and not raise suspicions and scandal you must be a slave. It is a sad reflection on our society that as a slave serving his master society will think your presence here in my residence normal and acceptable. If you service your master in all ways that too will be accepted as normal and appropriate for a slave. So Daniel will you share my shower with me tonight and wash your aging Master. It is a pleasure I have long enjoyed, a pleasure which I desire but a pleasure I ask for, not order."
Daniel was in two minds. He really wasn't into older men but he could see his Master desired this limited contact with him.
"Master I am your servant. I have been fondled by hands too numerous to recall whilst I was a NEWDD. I have washed my brother and sister sometimes; it will be a pleasure to serve you too".
Daniel smiled, his Master smiled and then his Master offered Daniel his hand and they walked upstairs, not just to the bathroom but for both of them into a new life.
A life that would offer fulfilment to both in very different ways.
Above all what excited Daniel was not that he had found a Master who listened to him and understood his sexuality but that his master was offering to share with him a life that would offer the opportunity of a lifetime.
His master was offering him an almost guaranteed path to success and influence as long as he put in the effort. If he needed to offer his Master the one thing his Master desired that he was not able to get by nature of his exalted position then that was a small price to pay.
For Daniel that path now stood clearly before him, lit with a brilliant clear light. A path that he would not allow anything to impede. A path Daniel hoped would enable him to rise to such prominence and influence that he would be able to not just influence or change society's attitude to slavery but abolish the cancer that President Shelley had reintroduced for ever.

Postscript
From the moment when I first sat down to write this fantasy I conceived it as an attempt on my behalf to combine some of the very common concepts and themes raised in the erotic writings of numerous writers. Themes such as Naked in School', Nudie Juvie', the Police Strip Search' and the Medical Examination'. Overriding all this would be the concept of slavery, my favourite fantasy universe theme.
I have acknowledged specific writers or groups of writers at the end of chapters where I have drawn on their work to formulate the base structure of that chapter. These are writers whose works I have enjoyed and admired. If time permits take the time to check out their works too.
I hope you have enjoyed Juvenile Deterrence.
Thank you for reading it and a special thank you to all the readers who have taken the time to email me and encourage me along this journey into fantasy.
