Sacrifice "The bussiness Magacine" era, with more than sixty years of history, one of the prestigious publications and serious
the country.
For decades, the pages had been used to uncover scandals, personalities and bring down elevate little empires.
In over thirty years at the helm of the magazine founded by his father, Tom Drake had experienced situations of all kinds and met people of all kinds.
But few characters could be compared with the two men who staged the cover of that week.
On the one hand, Ronald Wallace, for many the personification of the American dream, the boy of humble origins who had achieved success, reaching the top of society.
Drake, like many others, knew that the reality was quite different. Everyone had heard about the dark past of the arrogant and egocentric man, and knew that the employer was an unscrupulous uncle who had never dared to confront anyone.
But this had been one of the strangest weeks, and most satisfying of his long career.
A few days had come to the drafting of the journal, anonymously, a series of documents with statements, reports, photographs and even some recordings on the employer.
Drake had dealt personally verify the veracity of the documents, hoping to publish this information.
The investigation had been carried out by five private research agencies, independent of one another, what, from five different cities, were investigated thoroughly in the life of Wallace.
course, would not say who had hired them to conduct research, but was free to do with it what he wanted. After
had contacted some people who had been interviewed by detectives, who reaffirmed his statements.
Thus, what at first considered a stroke of luck, he met an exclusive story about the life and work of Ronald Wallace.
The comprehensive report was based on the childhood and adolescence of Wallace in a village in Wisconsin, where his elderly mother still lived, which had been abandoned for years and survived on the charity of their neighbors, until his life today, Straddling Washintong and London. Testimonials
teachers and former classmates, former employees, competitors and ex-lovers came together in an investigation that revealed Wallace's relationship with the world of drugs and prostitution, speaking of his great ability to manipulation.
Many acknowledged for the first time, have been victims of the blackmail of man, having given out of fear or shame, to extortion.
Senior Men, or their descendants, admitted to being used by the young conqueror Wallace climbing positions. Promising youngsters, whose personality was canceled, recounting the mind games of their employer, their sexual perversions and how to discard them when they tired of them.
threats, influence peddling, extortion, fraud ... There were even some who linked him to the overdose death of a teenager at a party at home.
So, Tom decided that this investigation Drake should see the light, thanking whoever had sent it, the opportunity to expose this man was actually showing him as a being heartless and mean. He pushed
Wallace thought, fixing his attention on the handsome young man with whom he shared the cover.
Appearing on "The bussiness" was something everyone looked forward to, it meant you were someone at the scene. Had they had been willing to pay to appear on their pages. Brian Kinney
But was not that kind of people
For years, the young entrepreneur was invited to appear on the magazine at least once every two months. But Kinney, amablemante provided had declined such invitations.
So when a few days ago, received a call from the publicist, asking if they were still interested in this interview, Drake had the feeling that, in fact, that was a week special.
Of course, had seen the photograph of Wallace with that blond boy, Taylor was called. And, of course, knew that Taylor and Kinney were a couple for years.
And, of course, was not so innocent as not to see that there was any relationship between the papers on Wallace, the sudden interest by the press Kinney and Taylor Young. It was not to lose the opportunity to meet sink Brian Kinney Ronald Wallace for details so insignificant as who was using whom. Brian Kinney
looked tired when I get to the writing of "The bussiness", but still extremely beautiful.
I promised I would have a frank interview, and met far ...
imposed only one condition was to have three copies of the magazine on Friday night, two days before distribution.
The magazine was ready to hit the market on Fridays or Saturdays, Sundays coming to market.
On more than one occasion had the feeling that their questions would remain unanswered, thoughtful silence before the young executive. But when he did replied with a frankness and naturalness such that Drake, despite being alone with him, he had a sense of what the young man spoke to him in reality, or to their readers. Brian
spoke openly about his childhood, an aggressive alcoholic father who hated his family, a father who, when he confessed he was gay, had wanted the muerte.De a cold and distant mother that only loved his church, denying a son who had offended God to "want" to be homosexual.
He told how he had cut any type of relationship with her sister when her twelve year old nephew filed a false complaint against him for sexual abuse, after having caught stealing. There
spoken openly of their excesses with drugs, sex and alcohol, and the problems he had caused to have sex with a subordinate when he refused to help career advancement.
He recognized that for years had been a cold person, which only cared about himself, and that in a time of his life, was willing to do anything to achieve what he wanted.
Drake could not believe that someone was being so clear when talking about their mistakes and shortcomings, much less that that person was in front of him talking about himself.
He asked if he missed having a family.
"I have a family.'s Mother became my best friend in mine for years. I have an eight year old son, whom I adore. My friends are amazing people who have stood by me even when I least deserve it. "
course Kinnetic talked about, and what they had assumed in his life, unabashedly recognizing the agency would not exist were it not for its team, a group of bright, loyal, they left everything aside to help make the dream a reality.
Brian also had problems when talking about Justin Taylor.
recounted how he had known when the artist was only seventeen, and had tried unsuccessfully to get his life on many occasions. He spoke of the aggression the boy had suffered years ago, it had always been brave and cowardly as it was him. Justin
had completely changed his world, teaching them things they had was worth fighting, forced to confront life. Without it there would have dared to try to be a good father, without him, Kinnetic not exist without it, Brian never would have exceeded the cancer ...
Justin Taylor was with his son, the most important person in his life, the only one who had loved and the only one I love.
No matter how far they were ... they both knew it was only a matter of time.
The sound of phone startled him, and smiled at the thought of who should be.
- What ... what does this mean? - Justin still could not understand what he had read Freeman ... He looked confused.
- I think it means it's time to come home. We are waiting. Justin
reacted at last, wiping her tears did not know when they had begun to emerge.
He rose to leave, stopping to get to the raised ...
- Are you okay? - Roger glanced up, surprised at the question. He sighed, tired, and tried to smile.
- No. But I'll .- If it would be nice. Did not know how soon or like make it, but I would. To his surprise, Justin hugged him.
Respodio to slowly embrace, silent tears letting go on their face. He pushed the blond, with a sad smile.
- Can you tell us what are you here yet? Take off. Do you think you can have a lifetime waiting for a man? - Justin nodded, smiling through the tears that insisted on going back. Roger
watched him run down the long hallway, while inside the joy and sadness mingled, not fight each other for dominance, and let it flow freely dairies, is promised, his last tears by Ronald Wallace.
- Tom ... can you tell me What does this mean?
- Good morning, Mr. Wallace, how are you? - Drake tried to sound neutral.
- Drake, did not give me nonsense. I have a copy of your magazine ... can not post this!
- Ronald, is my job. We are a magazine, we are dedicated to reporting. And all the data displayed here is contrasted ... "You have to remove
-Drake, now grinning. he had nothing to fear from Ronald Wallace. After the death of his wife, and who had been his secretary and mistress for over twenty years, there was no one who had to protect ...- I had nothing to do with that boy ...
- Maybe not. But it was less than age, was in your house and disappeared from your own party when they discovered the corpse ... You know that what counts in this world is not the truth, but the scandal. What matters is the image ... Wallace
clenched fists, while walking from one place to another in the office, furious ...
- Cursed Kinney !....- journalist could not help laughing when I heard him mumble.
- What about Kinney? Do not like your interview? It seems to me the most courageous ...
- That damn publicist ...- Wallace took a deep breath, trying to calm down And what about him? If I had made this information public ...
- But you did not. No I know how it will affect this, but the fact is that he has told the truth, no scandal, is a confession. Talk about good and bad. And by his own will ... To you I have discovered. Besides, it has to do with why someone Kinney inquire about you? Have you done something? - Drake smiled satisfied to silence the other side of the line. Confirmed that any questions ... the blackmailer had been defeated. Wallace slammed
, cursing. If Kinney had played ... then noticed the little note that had fallen from the envelope with the magazine.
read it and threw her against the wall, furious
"deal with it, Wallace, you've lost."
Brian walked in the loft, restless. Needed to pass something, the silence and stillness we were going crazy ...
From his conversation with Ben had turned their anger and frustration to find a way to pay Wallace the damage he'd done to Justin. Therefore
had sought all possible information about the employer, information that spoke of Wallace's life in different cities.
knew from Pittsburgh and just not get anything, and he was willing to try to make their own medicine. Therefore
had spent the last few weeks to travel to places in which Wallace had lived hiring the best detective agencies in each city to see to the smallest detail about the life of the entrepreneur in record time.
At first, nobody wanted to talk, but once they realized there was someone who was willing to stop him to Wallace to denounce his conduct had been almost a therapy for those who knew him.
The truth is that Brian had been more than satisfied with their work.
But that was not enough.
was aware that he had made many mistakes in the past, but I could not let Justin pay for them. Justin had already suffered enough because of him. Was when confronting the past. Therefore
had accepted the order granting the interview. Jealous of his privacy, had not been easy to talk about his private life, remember their parents ... But I had no other choice.
She did not care if I had to sacrifice his future career, where Justin was safe.
why he had chosen the interview was published in the same magazine that had sent the information about Wallace. Needed to have it in their power before it went on sale, and needed the artist Wallace was away when the find, never knew until he go fury.
were asked, again, if the dealer would have satisfied your mission, if Roger had done his part, if Justin would be fine ...
Ronald entered the apartment, pale and trembling with anger. He knew there was something odd about the door opened.
- Roger!, ROGER! - Only silence answered his call. He noted the long corridor, paralyzed, while the mirror at the entrance will return a worn image. The house seemed enormous, with an endless corridor and a deafening silence. Suddenly he saw himself, a being small and insignificant ... and alone.
The sound of knocking on the door she stopped in the middle of the loft. Without realizing it, had stopped breathing, it takes about seconds to react, seconds that became eternal when he had called.
Finally, Brian opened, not knowing whether he had before him was real or another joke of his imagination. He noted
unable to speak. The blond hair had grown a lot during those weeks, and a framed dark circles under her eyes red and swollen, filled with tears.
Justin had run through the streets that separated the attic loft, without stopping if you want to breathe. He had not even bothered to pick up the clothes he had brought with him to the house of Wallace.
could not stop thinking about the interview, in which Brian could lose .. as Brian was willing to lose for him.
not want to think about whether he would be angry or not, or as he learned of his situation. I just wanted to hug him, he should welcome into suis arms and promised him nothing to separate them again.
watched his green eyes, tired and dull, and felt a twinge of pain. In front of him, as if trying to recognize ...
He noticed how much the advertiser had lost weight during those weeks ...-
- Hi ...- certainly was not his best line. He tried to smile through the tears, unable to believe they were there, together at last. Brian I smile slightly, while a tear or two escaped, quickly.
- Hello ...
