   Rachel wanted to fully convey her gratitude to Eric, but with Tommy
there, she settled for "thanks" and lingering eye contact.  The smile on
Eric's face showed that he got the message.  But just as the boys turned to
leave through the door, Tommy took his phone out of his pocket.  He was
calling his boss to order some pizzas.  Neither boys noticed, but the
instant was burned into Rachel's mind.  There on Tommy's phone was a
picture of her sunbathing nude by the pool.
   She couldn't breathe as the door closed leaving her in the stairwell
alone.  There was only one way that Tommy could have gotten that picture.
Eric had sent it to him.  Her mind started spinning.  If Tommy had the
picture, how many other people had it too?  Eric had betrayed her.
   **The video!
   Rachel's heart sunk.  She dropped her jacket and sat on the stairs with
tears blurring her vision.  How could she ever have trusted that jerk?  The
stress of the day weighed on her as she started to cry.  Practice would
have to wait.
   Coach Ron was not happy as he marched into city hall.  He was missing
his very first swim practice.  The first call he received was from the
school board.  They were calling an emergency session and his swim team was
the topic.  The second call he received told him not to worry about it.  A
man he had spoken to only once before, who referred to himself as the
`Bystander' told him everything would be taken care of.  But he still spent
the day doing his homework just in case.  He felt prepared for the
inevitable grilling he was about to receive.  Worst case he would have to
look for another job after this.  But he could always find a club looking
for someone with his experience.
   He hated not being there for the first practice.  He had looked forward
to presiding over the locker room as the nubile girls of the swim team
showered and changed.  But that would have to wait for next time, if there
was a next time.  He had given Johanna written instructions to follow.  She
could handle the tour.
   He stepped into a packed meeting hall.  The session was about to begin.
One of the school board members met him at the door and introduced himself
as "Frank".  He was clearly nervous as he ushered Coach Ron to a reserved
seat on the front row.  There was rarely this much interest in school board
meetings.  Whenever there was, it was never good news.
   Richard Goodson entered the hall just as the session was beginning. 
There were no empty seats left, so he stood along the crowded walls.  He
was just finishing up some city council business in the building and came
over to watch the show along with everyone else.  He was looking forward to
seeing Frank sweat.
   The chairman greeted the audience before formally opening the session "I
would like to keep this meeting moving along.  So I will need cooperation
from such a large audience.  Let's get this wrapped up in a timely manner
so everyone can be home before the bad weather rolls in tonight." Then it
was time for the first speaker; a concerned parent.  She was very emotional
as she read from her script.  It was a pretty standard complaint.  Nothing
Frank hadn't heard before.  She ended with a scathing rebuke of Coach Ron
and his `detestable methods'.  Coach Ron had no reaction, which impressed
Frank.  Of course, he would get his chance to speak.  If this continued, he
would also have to answer to the board.  The excited audience buzzed as the
next speaker came to the mic.  It was more of the same.  The accusations
mostly came across as bitterness and without merit.
   Back at the school, Rachel tried to recompose herself.  Eric had
betrayed her trust.  She didn't even want to think about him right now. 
Still shaking from the Tommy's picture and the encounter with Brenda,
Rachel snapped her warm-up enough to make it to the locker room.  She got
ready and made it to the bleachers just as the assistant began practice.
   The assistant introduced herself as Coach Johanna and apologized that
Coach Ron was not able to make the practice.  Her first announcement
regarding the warm-ups was not well received but Rachel was too distracted
to listen.
   Johanna was reading from a stack of papers "We are returning the wrong
color warm-ups to our supplier tonight.  Please place your warm-up in the
boxes outside Coach Ron's office after practice.  If you received a partial
warm-up in the correct size and color, you may keep it.  Once the correct
shipment arrives, you may then match it to create a complete warm-up." The
implications were lost on Rachel.  She was zoned out.  She didn't even
acknowledge Ellie sitting a few rows behind her.
   Johanna moved to her next announcement, "Before we begin the tour, there
are a couple of items coming up on the schedule.  First is the annual
fundraiser carwash." another groan from the students.  They weren't here to
wash cars, they came to swim.  Johanna was powerless to control the crowd.
She could only stick to the script.  "Due to generous donations from our
supporters, there is no shortage of funds this year.  However, in order to
raise our profile within the community, we will donate the money to a local
charity.  The carwash is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00am behind the
grocery store on 23rd street.  Participation is mandatory...."
   Rachel heard it, but it barely sunk in; something about a carwash.  She
looked down at her nipple.  It still hurt a little, but there was no
redness or permanent damage.  Johanna continued, "...between now and our
first swim meet we will be hosting our sponsors..." Rachel turned her
thoughts to School Pride Day; particularly her moments of exposure.  At the
time, it had been terrifying.  But now thinking back it was somehow
exciting and kinky.
   **Am I a pervert?  Turning into some kind of exhibitionist?
   "...exhibition of the practice facilities." The word `exhibition'
brought Rachel back to practice mentally.  Johanna finished her
announcements and began explaining how the tour would go.  She really
wished Coach Ron were here but he was stuck at city hall...
   Without evidence the school board meeting dragged on.  The crowd was
restless, but the accusers had saved their best for last.  Richard was
getting bored with the proceedings and was eyeing the exit until the next
parent stepped up.  She connected a laptop to the projector for her
presentation.  As she spoke a slide show of images came up on screen.  One
of the girls had snuck a camera into the tryout.  Richard perked up at the
images.
   The chairman had to warn the murmuring audience as the parent gave her
speech.  The first picture was a group of boys facing away from the camera.
Their bare butts were exposed.  Another showed a topless girl about to dive
into the water.  The quality wasn't great.  The pictures had been taken
covertly at weird angles and the lens was foggy.  But it had the desired
effect.  The presenter described her daughter's experience at the tryout.
With the pictures behind her, every word hit home.
   An image of Rachel scrolled into view.  She was climbing out of the pool
after a race.  The water was pouring off her obviously naked body.  She
looked like every man's fantasy.  Richard looked around the room at the
reaction and tried to hide his grin.  If they only knew how he had that
same girl walking around his house in a barely there nightgown!  Rachel's
picture was replaced by a clear one from school that morning; a young lady
wearing a topless uniform hiding her chest and face in her hands.  It was
damning evidence.
   Frank looked down at Coach Ron still trying to maintain his cool
demeanor.  He would get a chance to speak before the board voted on the
complaint and his fate, but it didn't look good.
   The parents were finished with their part and Coach Ron took his turn at
the mic.
   "Ladies and Gentlemen, I come before you today as a proud representative
of Thornwood High School and the varsity swim team.  I don't have to list
all the accolades and accomplishments the team has garnered in years past,
but I would like to remind you of its more recent miserable performances."
   Coach Ron went on to report how Thornwood had finished last or
second-to-last as a team in every meet the last two years.  No individual
had qualified for state or even district in any stroke.  He got a personal
joy when he pointed out the parents complaining today all had kids on those
teams.  But that was only a minor rebuttal.  He still had to contend with
the pictures and accounts of the tryout.
   Even though he wasn't from Switzerland, he put on a thick accent and
played the part of an eccentric genius.  He described his resume and
experience with the Swiss national team.  He assured everyone his methods,
no matter how unorthodox they seemed, would produce results; and that was
why he was brought in.  It was all dramatically impressive.  Now he had to
deal with the issue of nudity.
   "That tryout was supposed to be closed to the public in order to build
trust.  If you want to point fingers, you should be examining those who
covertly broke that trust by recording your child without your permission.
Ask them if they have other pictures; perhaps covertly taken in the locker
room?" At this accusation, a buzz broke out in the crowd and the irate
parents tried to jump up in protest.  But they already had their chance to
talk.  Now it was his platform.  "I apologize if I offended any parents
with my methods.  In Switzerland, we do not deal with such provincial
prejudices about our bodies.  I procured the most advanced uniforms in the
competitive swimming industry.  Ancient Greek Olympians swam in the nude
and I could refer you to many court cases where women were given the right
to be topless or be treated equally as men.  I always understood America to
be a nation of equality." That statement drew a lot of agreeable nods from
the patriotic crowd, so Coach Ron pushed his luck.
   "I will not have my swimmers competing in antiquated puritan rubbish."
He looked around the room hoping he hadn't gone too far with that last
statement.  The audience was divided.  Many of them were agreeing with him.
They didn't want to be viewed as antiquated.  Others were not yet
convinced. The insult to puritans may have hurt his case.  This was the
Bible belt after all.  He trudged on, "You can see from the pictures that
there were no male genitals exposed during the tryout" he hoped he would
not be challenged on that misstatement.  There had been a couple wearing
suits like Rachel, but none had made the team.
   "As for the young ladies' uniforms, I am willing to offer a compromise.
I will provide a modification so that genitalia, both male and female, are
equally covered.  However, at the highest levels of competition the
difference between winning and losing is measured in thousandths of
seconds. I will not to sacrifice suit performance just to satisfy old
fashioned modesty.  Thank you."
   Frank watched Coach Ron return to his front row seat.  It was time for
the board to vote.  The resolution was simple.  A majority "YES" vote
approved the resolution firing Coach Ron and started the new search for a
head coach.  A majority "NO" vote defeated the resolution and confirmed
Coach Ron's position provided he comply with the details of his compromise
proposal.  Despite Coach Ron's convincing speech, Frank knew the he was a
dead man.  The resolution was a lock to pass.
   Frank also knew he was going to vote "NO".  He had been contacted
earlier by his campaign contributor; the man who called himself
`Bystander'. He offered Frank $20,000 more for his campaign in exchange for
voting "NO" on today's vote.  Frank jumped at it.  With thirteen members on
the school board, one token "NO" vote wouldn't change anything.  It was a
silent vote, so no one would even know it was him, except Bystander.
   Not a single person in the audience left their seat while the board took
a short recess and voted.  When the meeting reconvened the chairman stood
up to read the results.  The school board members looked at each other in
surprise as the results were announced.  Richard was pleasantly shocked at
his good fortune and started planning a celebratory dinner.  Coach Ron had
an amused look on his face as if he had known the result all along.
   "The resolution is unanimously defeated by a vote of 13 to 0"...TO BE
