Authors note:
The idea for this story hit me back in early July and I was up until the wee hours of the morning writing on Chapter 1. It was the second story I wanted to write and get published here. The first story, titled "Hot Cargo," is partially based on a true personal experience, and is still in draft stage.
I have had some strange experiences while writing this. I know I am rather soft hearted, and there have been a number of emotional circumstances where the characters shed some tears, and so do I! I will admit to my shortcomings as an author. I am likely better at writing romantic parts than writing steamy sexual activity.
I've also had some situations where the characters "come alive" and do things I didn't plan. An example at the end of #19 I planned on Adam and Nate just going to bed and cuddling before drifting off to sleep. I didn't know they were going to catch Jeremy masturbating, or that Kurt was going to pop in and add to the circle jerk.
It's been fun writing it, and even though it seems there are a lot of views and a reasonable number of votes, (all the chapters have at least a 4+ rating,) the lack of feedback tells me it is not liked very much. I do not intend to leave the readers I do have in the lurch. I am going to try to end this monster within the next 4 or 5 chapters.

Chapter 20 - W3 Monday Morning
Preview: This is Jesse and Zach's last week of incarceration, and they will both be leaving to return to live in the free world. Ty, the Senior Trainer in Masonry, and Glen, in GM, have only two more weeks. Smitty, in CG will be taking his certification test this week, and, assuming he passes, will be joining the GM for about 6 weeks while he completes his time.

It's about 7:30 AM and most of the trainee's have already left the cafeteria to go to the training sites. The four GM guys just left to face another day of mowing grass and trimming shrubs. Jesse and Sean have turned in their dirty dishes, and are sipping a last cup of coffee.
"Well Sean," Jesse said, "We should be getting some new recruits today. I'm going to let you handle everything, but I will be hanging around if you need me to help you with anything."
"I don't foresee any problems," Sean answered, "I think I can handle everything okay." Then added, grinning, "I really like Mondays."
Jesse spoke, "Since this is my last week, I'm handing the keys over to you now." Jesse handed the keys to Sean. "So if any of the guys need anything, like lube or condoms, or applications for commissary accounts, they will need to see you instead of me."
Ruben walked into the cafeteria with a sober look on his face. He walked over and got a cup of coffee, and joined Sean and Jesse at the table, sitting down.
"Bad news, Guys." Ruben said, looking very serious. "The state is claiming budget shortages, and has suspended any new transfers to the school."
"When does that happen?" Sean asked.
Ruben answered, looking down, "I just got the email this morning. It's effective today, so we have no recruits coming in!" Shakes his head.
"What happens to the men that are already here training?" Jesse asked.
"They'll continue," Ruben said, "As far as I know. Hopefully, this is only a temporary suspension."
"That sucks!" Sean stated, looking sad.
"I'm supposed to be leaving Saturday," Jesse said, "How do I get rid of this bracelet?"
"There's a corrections officer scheduled to come here Friday afternoon, that will remove and deactivate both yours and Zachs. You're not scheduled to leave until Sat, and we trust you won't try to escape before you can legally leave on Saturday. I will stay over, Friday night, and take you and Zach to the bus station on Saturday." Ruben said. "Is that cool? And I already have your bus tickets in the office, to send you both home!"
"Wow! That fabulous!" Jesse exclaimed, smiling with a couple teardrops sliding down his face. "You've always treated me well, Ruben, and I'm going to miss you, and some other friends I have made here."
"I'm going to miss both of you faggots," Ruben replied, grinning widely. "And I hope Sean doesn't mind, if I take you to bed that last night. You know Jesse, I really like that little ass of yours."
"That's cool, Ruben," Sean said, "Get it while you can, cause it ain't gonna be 'round much longer!"
"Since we have no 'cruits this week, you guys don't have a lot to do. Enjoy the free time." Ruben said, "Let me go see what I can find to busy myself in the office." Ruben left.
"Looks like we got nuthin' to do today." Jesse mentioned. "Wanna go watch a movie till lunch time?"
"Sounds like a plan." Sean answered. The two men headed to the rec room in Dorm 1, found a DVD neither had seen, and settled down to watch it.

It's about 11:45 AM and the bus was coming back to the campus, bringing all the trainees in for lunch. Bryan was sitting next to the window and Darin selected the isle seat next to him. They were talking small talk, and Darin placed his hand on Bryan's thigh, rubbing it lightly, and causing Bryan to grin a little, and he was also starting to feel his dick starting to get hard.
"I don't really mind," Bryan spoke softly, as he moved Darin's hand off his thigh, "But I don't need to walk into the cafeteria with a boner!"
"Sorry," Darin replied, smiling, "Maybe we can get together later?"
"That could be," Bryan smiled, "interesting. I'm game."
As usual, the Carpentry Group ate together, Bryan made a point to not sit next to Darin. When they got back to the job site, the memory of Darin's hand on his leg kept popping into Bryan's mind, and every time, caused him to feel an arousal in his genitals. Bryan can hardly wait for this training day to be done.
The bus pulled in front of the main building at just about 5:00 PM, and unloaded it's cargo of about 18 or 20 men. Some headed to Dorm 1 and some, including Bryan and Darin headed to Dorm 2. Several of the men quickly stripped and headed to the shower.
Darin sat on his bed for a couple minutes, and Bryan went to his bed, he looked down and saw Darin sitting on his bed, just 4 beds down from him. Bryan walked down to Darin.
"May I?" Bryan said, indicating he wanted to sit down, next to Darin on his bed. Darin motioned him to take a seat.
"Darin," Bryan nervously spoke, "I might be, well, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Bryan, just ask it."
"I'm not sure how to, well, are you, in some weird way, I don't know, attracted to me?"
