Tommy Bannister got in trouble, it was not the first time for the eighteen year old high school drop out but Judge Madge Winters decided it will be the last. He was caught this time for speeding, the police with reasonable cause searched his car found he had a twelve pack of beer and a small amount of weed on him.
"Mister Bannister I see you are before me again, what is this the third time in a year?" She asked.
"I think so your honor." He replied knowing it was a question that he should not answer.
"What should I do with you, jail really does not have much effect on you, definitely going to have to suspend you license for a year too many points, normally I could give you six months in jail instead I'm going to give you six months probation." She said.
"Thank you your honor." He said with some relief of not going to jail.
"We will have some conditions, you need to learn maturity, you come from a broken home with no male role model. You will report to the local big brother big sister program, they will match you up with a young boy who needs a good male influence in his life. If the program calls and tells me you are not living up to these conditions then you will be off to the county jail, I think this will be a good chance for you to make sure some young boy does not end up before me the way you have. Court adjourned." She said slamming the gavel.
He stood up with his court appointed lawyer and waited for the judge to leave the court room. His lawyer patted him on the back and escorted him out.
"Is she serious, she wants me to baby sit some snot nosed kid for six months?" He asked.
"Yes she does, it's better than jail and now that you're an adult you will start getting harder sentences if you don't straighten up. Here is the card, call Mister Jenkins as soon as you can and he will match you up with a kid." His lawyer explained handing him a card.
"I bet you two had this all worked out." Tommy said taking the card.
"Would not be doing my job if I did not have it worked out." His lawyer said leaving him to go his own way.
Later that afternoon he called and made an appointment to meet with Mister Jenkins, the next day he arrived at the local office and met the man who was short, overweight and in his mid fifties. He came out and greeted Tommy and led him to his office.
"Tommy this is Miss Kathy Woodrow and her son Seth." He said. "I think you two will be a good match."
"Miss Woodrow, Seth." He said nodding politely to her and her son.
"Like you Seth has been in trouble in school and has done some shoplifting, the same patterns you have fallen into at his age." He explained. "Seth has had three other big brothers quit on him, I think you may be the one to get through to him."
Tommy noticed Miss Woodrow was staring at him with a small smile while holding her kids hand, she found her to be attractive even with her large round glasses, her breasts looked to be large maybe in the thirty eight d range and she was too skinny or too fat. Seth was a nice kid brown hair like his mother and looked to be around the age of twelve.
"Seth gets home from school around three fifteen, can you meet him at our house at three thirty, I get home from work at four, I understand you have to do this three days a week for an hour so I hope you guys will have fun." She explained.
"Yeah sure, I guess we should start tomorrow." Tommy said.
"That would be great." Kathy said standing up with her breasts giving a little bounce. "Here is our address and phone number, see you tomorrow."
He walked out with them and watched the sway of her round ass in her jeans enjoying the view, the next day he went out to the Woodrow house. It was a nice three bedroom home, the first thing he noticed when Seth invited him in were that the rooms were small. She had the kitchen, bathroom, a family room, small living room, her master bedroom was downstairs, two small bedrooms upstairs. They had a nice back yard with an old fence in need of repair.
"Hey Seth so what are we going to do for an hour, any ideas?" He asked the boy.
"We could go out and play some catch, that is what my dad used to do before he left us." He said.
"Okay, you got an extra glove?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah you can use my dad's" Seth said handing him an old worn out mitt.
The two of the thrown the ball back and forth talking about how he got in trouble, Tommy laughed because it reminded him of himself at that age. Tommy then reminded him of how he got in trouble and was stuck doing this and he should straighten up. Seth laughed and surprised him by saying "Your not going to be a dick like the other guys."
"No kid but if you keep getting into trouble then I can get in trouble, my trouble can land me in jail." Tommy said.
Tommy continued to hang with Seth after school until his mother got home from her job as a nurse, there were a few times when Seth was not there and it did not take Tommy much effort to track him down. He was always able to stop him before he made a mistake or do something wrong. Tommy also started working for his Uncle at his garage, learning how to be a mechanic and cleaning up. He was starting to find the more he hung out with young Seth the better he was doing in school and with his behavior, it also had an effect on Tommy where he too made more effort now as well.
One day Seth was hanging out at Tommy's house, he was busy cleaning the garage out looking for tools that he could use at the shop and at home. He set a couple tents in the driveway along with the rest of the old camping equipment his dad left behind when he divorced his mother.
"Wow look at all this camping stuff, do you go camping Tommy?" Seth asked excitedly.
"Not since my dad left, when I was around your age we used to go all the time, camping and fishing." He said.
