for ur consideration, a fun scenario: bi!jess bonding w gay!april over being queer n living w luke who is supportive but also easily confused

"Hey, Uncle Luke."

"Jess, hi. How was class?"

"Uninspiring." The youg man shrugs, grabbing a soda from the fridge.

"The usual, then." Luke acknowledges, distractedly, while he keeps cutting the vegetables for dinner.

"Pretty much," Jess says, taking a sip, "next semester, though, my schedule will be exceedingly more intriguing."

"You sure have picked the right major, Mr Big Words," the other one teases, with a shake of his head.

A few minutes later, Jess finally notices the quiet filling the small house.

"Where's April? She's generally home by the time I get back, on Wednesdays."

"Oh, uh," Luke pauses for a moment, thinking, "I think she said something about getting coffee with Cameron."

"Cameron? Who's Cameron?"

"A friend from school, I presume."

"You don't know?" Jess questions, serious and concerned. "Uncle Luke, she is only sixteen!"

"She's a teenager," Luke replies, unfazed, "and this is Stars Hollow, Jess. I most likely know this guy's parents, aunt and great-grandma."

"God, this is ridiculous."

"Oh, come on. You were much worse at sixteen, if you remember well."

"Not the point." Jess replies, sternly, as he pulls on the jacket he had just taken off.

"Where do you think you're going, now?"

Crossing the threshold, he replies with a simple nowhere before closing the door behind his back.

"Glad to see we've improved, through the years." Luke calls after him.

---

Westons is crowded and loud, when Jess steps in. Patrons are occupying every table and some are even simply standing around, chatting.

Gazing around the room, trying to (unsuccessfully) spot his cousin, he’s about to leave the coffee shop. "Coffee, Jess?" Daniel's voice is what effectively jolts him.

Well, shit.

"I- uh," scratching his neck, lowkey freaking out, "sure."

"Tall, black as your soul. Correct?" The dark skinned young man chuckles, holding a cup.

"Always."

---

"You never come in the afternoon," Daniel states, fixing the drink.

"Yeah," Jess replies, pulling some bills from his wallet, "I have a thing."

"Hot date?" The other man asks and, wishful thinking or not, Jess swears his shoulders drop, and so does his easygoing smirk.

Good thing Jess hasn't taken a sip yet or the just brewed coffee would be all over the floor. "Oh, no. Definitely not a hot date."

"Uhm-"

"I'm looking for April." He rushes out, hoping to save the situation.

"Ah, April. I see." Daniel acknowledges and his smile is now full and amused and just as entrancing as ever. "She was here with Cammie, not long ago. They come in every other day or so."

"She left? And you know this Cameron?"

"Well, yeah," the barista replies, confused, "she's Anthony's sister."

"Sister?"

"She's the soccer team's goalie," Daniel provides. "You must have seen her, somewhere. She's an extremely nice girl."

"Indeed, I must have. This town has hardly a thousand citizens."

Chuckling, the other young man decides it's time to finally step-up his game. "And yet, here you are, still."

"There are a few good reasons to stay." Jess teases back.

"Wanna tell me all about them, uhm, Friday night? At John's pub?"

"I- yes. Yes."

"I'll see you then." Daniel says, stepping back to the cashier to serve the next customer. "Coffee is on the house," he adds, offering his most charming grin.

---

Later that night, once Luke has gone out to meet Lorelai, April and Jess are comfortably settled on the couch while The Office plays on tv.

"So, Cameron?"

"Wh- What?"

"When am I meeting her?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn't think sporty would be your type, being fully honest."

"What would you know about my type?"

"Hey, easy."

"What are you getting at?"

"I'm saying, I'd simply like to meet whoever my cousin's dating."

"Cameron and I are not dating."

"Yes, that blush is certainly supporting your statement."

"I'm serious. We are not a thing."

---

"Would you want to?"

"Would I want, what?"

"To be a thing?"

"God, yes."

"Have you told her that?"

"She doesn't really see me like that."

"I'm sure that is not true."

"She did love my new haircut and she often grabs my hand when we're hanging out..."

"See?"

"...but maybe I'm just projecting."

"April, give yourself some credit. You're a wonderful girl and i bet Cameron would very much enjoy being a thing with you."

"I don't know.."

"Think about it, okay?"

"Yeah, okay. Thanks, Jess."

---

"Daniel thinks she's a very nice girl."

"Daniel, uh?"

"And if she's only half as smart as Anthony is, you picked a real good one."

"She's hoping to get a soccer scholarship to Cornell."

"That's a great one, April."

"She is pretty awesome."

---

"So, Daniel?"

"What?"

"Daniel thinks she's nice?"

"I was simply getting a coffee and he mentioned he often sees you two."

"I'm sure that's all you guys talked about."

"Well."

"So, have you finally grown a pair?"

"I- did not."

"Hopeless."

"He did. I'll have you know, we're actually going out on Friday."

"Jesus, freaking finally."

"We'll revisit this when you finally ask your crush out."

"I guess I'll just have to."

"I guess you do."

"Fine. I'm texting her."

---

Sunday morning the house is bursting with energy and excitement.

"Dad, would it be okay if I went out to dinner with Cameron?"

"Cameron, uh?"

"I've done all of my homework and I'll be home by ten."

"And where would you go?"

"John's." Jess interjects, from his spot on the couch.

"Yes, John's."

"I'm meeting Daniel there, Uncle Luke. I'll drive the girls."

"I guess that'd be fine. Curfew is- wait, girls?"

"Yeah. Cameron and April?" Jess replies, puzzled.

"Is Cameron a girl?"

"Well, yes."

"And you are having dinner? Together."

"I- yes."

"Like. As in, a date?"

"That's the goal."

"Oh my god!" Jess groans, hanging his head in defeat. "Uncle Luke."

"Uh?"

"Stop interrogating the poor girl; she's already nervous to the brim."

"I'm just trying to put the pieces together."

"I am going on a date with Cameron Walters. She the soccer team's goalie; tall, shoulders length red hair. You've met her before at games."

"Oh, yes! I do remember her. She's a great player."

"Yes, yes."

"And I," Jess adds, "I am meeting Daniel in a very much official date."

Slightly taken aback but happy nonetheless, Luke decides to simply enjoy his kids' excitement and save the extra questions and teasing for another time.

"Curfew is eleven. For you both." The man says, patting their backs while ignoring the loud complaints.

Brooklyn News: Queens Man, Ali Saleh Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS

Brooklyn News: Queens Man, Ali Saleh Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS

Defendant Repeatedly Attempted to Travel to the Middle East to Join Terrorist Group and Sent Money Overseas to Fund Another Foreign Fighter’s Travel to Join Terrorist Group

Brooklyn – Earlier today, Ali Saleh, a U.S. citizen, pleaded guilty at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn to two counts of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The proceeding took place before United States District Judge William F. Kuntz, II. When sentenced, Saleh faces up to 35 years’ imprisonment.

Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, William F. Sweeney, Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), and James P. O’Neill, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD), announced the guilty plea.

“Ali Saleh attempted to travel to the Middle East to become an ISIS fighter, funded other foreign fighters, posted instructions to make explosive devices and transported explosive materials,” stated United States Attorney Donoghue. “The defendant’s persistent efforts to aid ISIS were defeated by the outstanding work of law enforcement officers who stopped him before he could do harm. This Office will continue to work closely with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York to keep our city safe from terrorists and prevent extremists from travelling abroad to join foreign terrorist organizations.”

“Saleh was undeterred in his many attempts to travel to join ISIS, and although he failed in these efforts, he turned his attention to assisting others online to join ISIS’s murderous mission in Syria,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “I am grateful to our partners in federal law enforcement and the prosecutors who were able to apprehend and charge Saleh before he could do more damage or harm innocent Americans.”

“Ali Saleh was persistent in his efforts to become a foreign fighter, but his persistence did not exceed the diligence of law enforcement,” stated FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Sweeney.  “The defendant went to great lengths to attempt to travel to the Middle East, while funding other foreign fighters in the process.  As the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force continuously strives to protect citizens from potential terrorist threats, today’s plea depicts one of the many efforts to achieve this goal.”

“New Yorkers continue to benefit from the NYPD’s robust counterterrorism capabilities and strong working relationships with our law enforcement partners on the Joint Terrorism Task Force,” stated NYPD Commissioner O’Neill.  “Today’s guilty plea shows that in collaboration with the FBI and the Eastern District of New York, our skilled investigators and analysts will stop at nothing to further the critical mission of defending society from acts of terrorism wherever and however, they are being planned.”

According to court filings, Saleh was arrested after repeatedly attempting to travel to the Middle East to become a foreign fighter for ISIS. In 2013 and thereafter, Saleh became interested in the conflict in Syria, swore an oath of allegiance to ISIS and decided to travel to the Middle East in support of ISIS. On August 25, 2014, Saleh stated online, “I’m ready to die for the Caliphate, prison is nothing. ” On August 28, 2014, Saleh stated online, “Lets be clear the Muslims in the khilafah [caliphate] need help, the one who is capable to go over and help the Muslims must go and help.”  That same day, Saleh made an airline reservation to travel from New York to Turkey, a country bordering Syria.  The defendant was ultimately prevented from traveling because his parents took away his passport.

Saleh then redirected his efforts to facilitating others’ support of ISIS. In October 2014, the defendant communicated with an ISIS supporter in Mali through an online messaging platform and sent a wire transfer in the amount of $500 to fund that person’s travel to Syria.  Around the same time period, the defendant communicated with several other individuals in an effort to facilitate their support of ISIS, including known ISIS supporters in the United Kingdom and Australia.

In July 2015, the defendant purchased fireworks containing explosive powder, hid them in a concealed compartment in the trunk of his car, and drove from Indiana towards New York City. The fireworks contained approximately 1,196 grams of low explosive powder, consisting of both pyrotechnic material and black powder.

Law enforcement agents located a cellphone belonging to Saleh during the time frame when he acquired the explosive powder and discovered on the phone an electronic pamphlet titled, “Muslim Gangs: The Future of Muslims in the West (Ebook 1: How to Survive in the West).”  The pamphlet provided detailed instructions regarding how to create a bomb using explosive powder from fireworks. Saleh posted online the pamphlet’s image of a soda can hand grenade with instructions on how to build an improvised explosive device.  When Saleh’s car broke down on the way to New York City, he abandoned it.

Subsequently, on July 24, 2015, the defendant made a reservation to travel from New York to Egypt, a country bordering Libya, and went to JFK International Airport. The defendant was ultimately denied boarding.

The defendant subsequently visited three additional international airports in Newark, Philadelphia and Indianapolis, but continued to encounter travel restrictions.  The defendant attempted to circumvent air travel restrictions by taking a train from Cleveland to Canada and flying to the Middle East. After law enforcement intervention, however, the defendant did not board the train and instead returned to New York.

After his encounters with law enforcement, Saleh changed his online social media moniker and expressed his support for ISIS under new usernames. On August 24, 2015, the defendant stated online, “I am a terrorist.” On September 1, 2015, the defendant stated online, “If they aren’t implementing shariah [Islamic law] grab ur gun and implement shariah and see how fast the world turns against u.” That same day, the defendant also stated online, “Akhi [brother] if implementing sharia [Islamic law] is easy do it in ur neighborhood and defend it from kuffar [the infidels] and give bayah [an oath of allegiance] to IS.”

The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s National Security & Cybercrime Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Saritha Komatireddy, Margaret E. Lee and Alexander F. Mindlin are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance provided by Trial Attorneys Lolita Lukose and Jacqueline Barkett of the Justice Department’s Counterterrorism Section.

The Defendant:

ALI SALEH Age: 25 Queens, New York
