I want to thank all those who sent me feedback on my first story. This story will include 2 of the characters from the first, but the premise is not the same. First, the story will be told in 3rd person, not in the 1st person as in my first story. The plot will be different as well. In fact, I have decided to go in a direction I have never gone in my writing. I do not know how good it will be, but I am going to try it. The first portion of this is not very erotic but is used to introduce the plot.
Please feel free to give me feedback.

Chapter 1
Mr. Chapin
A few weeks later, Owen and Ronnie, needing more weed, returned to Rex's home. It was Ronnie's turn now. Owen sat on the large leather sofa and watched TV for a while. Owen, becoming bored, began walking around looking at the things Rex had on shelves. Owen started to feel a little uncomfortable as he realized he was snooping. As he snooped he discovered a piece of parchment between some books on the book shelf. The parchment was folded twice, and appeared to be very old. The brown paper was torn and dog eared from being handled. Owen thought, "What the fuck...." and opened the paper.
The words or the scribbling was unreadable to Owen. The writing appeared almost like ancient Egyptian writing. But, at the bottom of the paper was an etching that was identifiable to Owen. The etching depicted a bird of prey, perched on a limb, over a golden chalice. Owen was drawn to the eyes and the talons of the bird in the drawing.
Ronnie's loud moan of climax broke Owen out of his trance. He quickly folded the paper back up and put it between the two books where he had found it originally.
Rex came down, looked at Owen, who was standing in the middle of the room. Rex stared at Owen for a heartbeat or two, the traces of a smile appeared on his face. Rex went into another room, and directly came back.
"Owen, here is your package." Rex said, giving Owen the baggie.
"Thanks, man."
Ronnie came down the stairs with a silly grin on his face. He got his package and they started out the door to go to Ronnie's car. As they reached the car, Rex called out, "Owen, come here for a second."
Owen looked at Ronnie and shrugged. He turned and headed back to Rex at the front door. He reached the door and Rex beckoned him inside.
Rex handed Owen a card saying, "Put that in your pocket. It's my cell number I want you to call me later. I have something for you. It's a chance to make some money and maybe something else. You cannot tell Ronnie. Just call me."
"Ok, Rex...I will hit you up later."
"Just tell Ronnie that I was giving you information about a police sweep or something, ok?"
"Sure thing...no sweat."
Owen got into the car and Ronnie asked, "What's up, dude?"
"Nothing, he was just letting me know not to come around for a while because the cops are really out in force."
Ronnie accepted that and drove away. Ronnie wanted to go to his house and watch porn and smoke up, but Owen said he could not because he was supposed to go with his mom to see his aunt. It was a lie. Ronnie even said that he would jack Owen off, but Owen said no. Ronnie took Owen home.
Once home, Owen was really curious about what Rex had for him. But Owen had come to respect Rex....to trust him to a certain extent.
After dinner with his mom and dad, Owen got his cell phone and pulled out the paper that Rex had given him. Owen hesitated briefly to think about this situation. What the fuck is going on, he thought. Owen held the phone in one hand and the number in the other and stared at them. Owen felt that now familiar feeling in his stomach. The flip flop of nervousness and the intrigue of some mystery along with the curiosity filled Owen.
Owen dialed the number. The phone rang twice.
"Yeah...." It was Rex.
"Hey, Rex, it's me, Owen."
"Owen, I am glad you called back. "
"Yeah, just thought I would hear what you have for me."
"Good, well, I have someone I want you to meet. He is a real good guy. He wants to know you. I told him you were a real good kid, and that you might be interested in his....offer."
Another offer, Owen thought. "I don't know Rex. I don't want to do gay porn or anything like that."
Rex laughed, "Don't sweat that. It's nothing like that. It's more like wanting to know if you are the type of person we may want in our.....organization."
Owen asked, "What kind of organization?"
"Let's let you meet Mr. Chapin and have him tell you about it. Then you can make the decision yourself."
"Ok, I will meet him."
"Good deal. I will set it up for this Friday, how does that sound?"
"Yeah, Friday will work. When and where?"
"Meet me at my house at 7:30 on Friday night."
"How do I get to your house?"
"Owen...figure it out. 7:30 Friday night." Rex hung up.
Shit, what the fuck am I doing, Owen thought.
=====================================================================================
On Friday, Owen talked his dad into dropping him off at a friend's house and he got the friend to drive him to Rex's house. Owen went up to the door and knocked twice. Rex opened the door, "Owen! I am glad you showed up."
Rex was beaming at Owen. Rex was wearing a black long sleeve t-shirt that hugged his biceps, blue jeans, and some boots that looked like police boots. Owen felt a stab of fear. Rex saw the look and recognized what was happening. "Owen, relax. I wear these Oakley assault boots for my contracting job. If I was the police I would have busted you and Ronnie last week. Now come on, and let's get out of here."
Rex led Owen through the house to the garage. When Owen entered the garage, he saw the absolute baddest car he ever put eyes on.
"Rex....this car is shit hot, dude!"
"It's an Audi R8."
"Dude, you have got to let me drive this bitch...."
"Owen....maybe one day I will. Maybe one day you will have one of your own."
They drove from the suburbs into the city center. Everyone stared at them as they cruised in the sports car. Owen was really digging the attention they were getting. Some of the most beautiful women he had ever seen not in a porn movie were openly gawking at them.
Rex pulled up to The Sheraton Metropolit, what had to be the most expensive hotel in the city. A valet came bounding from somewhere. Rex handed over the keys to that fine piece of machinery to be driven by someone not much older than Owen.
"Owen, let's go buddy." Owen followed Rex through the lobby and into the hotel restaurant and bar. It was dimly lit and there were about 30 people at various tables. Rex was making his way to a rear corner. They approached a circular table that was occupied by a single figure who rose from his seat as they came closer.
He was tall and well built. He was in his fifties. He was tanned, and it made his white hair stand out. He had piercing blue eyes. He was dressed in a Saville Row suit, with a red tie. He had a crooked smile that exposed very white teeth.
"Rex, it's so good to see you." They shook hands and hugged with their free left hands.
"Is this the young man who is a candidate?"
"Mr. Chapin, let me introduce you to Owen. Owen, this is Mr. Chapin."
Owen held out his hand and Mr. Chapin shook firmly. His hands were smooth and the nails well manicured.
"Owen, Rex tells me you are a fine young man and that you may be interested in our organization." He said as they sat at the table. He offered to buy a meal, and Owen took him up since he had not eaten. It was the finest steak Owen had ever tasted. During the meal, Rex and Mr. Chapin made small talk. Something about different "missions" that Rex had been on. But it was clear they were talking around Owen. Then Mr. Chapin turned to Owen and began questioning him.
How old was he? 18 but turning 19 at the end of the year.
Did he play sports? He played hockey and baseball.
What were his plans since he was out of high school? He was going to enroll at State University.
