He pulled my hand towards his crotch as he leaned over and started kissing me passionately. I felt my dick starting to rise and my balls starting to boil. I knew I better leave fast or I’d never make it out of the house so I broke the kiss. “I guess you’re right my love. I’ll hold you to your promise though and be waiting for you to get back.”

 

Chapter 9

 

 

He pulled my hand towards his crotch as he leaned over and started kissing me passionately. I felt my dick starting to rise and my balls starting to boil. I knew I better leave fast or I’d never make it out of the house so I broke the kiss. “I guess you’re right my love. I’ll hold you to your promise though and be waiting for you to get back.”

 

I stood up adjusting my dick in my jeans then kissed Hans one more time before heading towards the door. “Don’t forget to lock it baby.”

 

I heard the deadbolt latch then I headed to the Hummer. I drove downtown to the bar Syd liked to frequent and sure enough, his car was in the parking lot. I found a spot to park and I was lucky this time as it was on the same side of the street. I could see his car and the door to the bar so I had a good vantage point. I took out the laptop and hooked the DC power cord to it then turned it on. I was so glad I had a wi-fi card installed because there were a number of strong wireless internet signals available. I hooked up to the office computer then went back to reading.

 

I’d been reading files for about 30 minutes when I came to an interesting police report.

 

******

 

At James’ house, Jamie and Kevin were alone and decided to take advantage of it. They were upstairs in their room making out on the bed. The window was open enough so they could hear the car when their Dad’s got home. “God Jamie, don’t tease me like that. Stick your finger in my ass, please.”

 

Kevin spread his legs so Jamie could have an easier access to his hole. “I never thought I’d like putting my finger into someone’s ass but you feel so hot and tight.”

 

Jamie inserted his lubed finger into Kevin’s waiting hole then found his prostate. “Oh shit baby, that feels wonderful. Move it around then put a second one in.”

 

Kevin was in heat as Jamie fingered and stretched his lover’s ass. “Relax babe, here it comes.”

 

Jamie worked on his boyfriend’s butt preparing him for what Kevin really wanted, his lover’s dick.”

Inside the bar, Syd was now working on his third beer. The one man in the corner took their glasses and went back up to the bar for another round. “One Johnny Walker neat and a Crown Royal the same way.”

 

The man walked back to his table and Syd just glared at him. ‘Fucking faggots, I’m going to get them tonight if it’s the last thing I do. I should have killed those two others outright rather than just fucking them senseless. Tonight there will be no mistakes.’

Back in the boys room Justin had slid his dick into his lover and started a slow rocking motion. “Oh yes Jamie, do it now. Make love to me.”

 

Jamie started pumping faster into Kevin’s love canal. “Kevin, I love you so much. Ungh, I can’t hold out.”

 

Jamie unloaded into his boyfriend’s butt as Kevin started pulling on his dick. Soon Kevin is blasting his load in between him and Jamie. Jamie laid down on Kevin’s chest as both boys come down from their respective orgasm.

I looked at my watch and it’s almost 11. I see a little store up the street and I hurry up there to get a cup of coffee. 5 minutes later, I’m back in the Hummer trying to digest the report I’ve just read.

 

I open the page and stare at it as I sip my coffee. I get lost in my thoughts but movement out of the corner of my eye gets my attention. 2 men are leaving the bar and walking towards their car. Less than a minute later, I see Syd. I duck down in the seat closing the lid on the computer. I see a car take off then Syd’s car leaves. I start the Hummer and begin to follow Syd.

 

Several times I get closer than I want to but Syd doesn’t seem to notice me. I pull back several car lengths and I can tell he’s following the car with the two men in it. The men were too far away and I didn’t see their faces so I couldn’t tell who they were.

 

I held my distance and watched as they went into a residential area. The car turned and Syd followed. I knew this wasn’t where Syd lived but if he was going to try to assault two men in a residential area, he was bold.

 

They turned a corner then I stopped to check my pistol. I removed the magazine, checking to be sure it was loaded then put it back holstering the gun. I turned the corner and saw the two cars. I had to really go slow as I saw the car pull into a driveway. Syd followed then stopped on the street right in front of the house. The house was on a curve so I could park the Hummer without him seeing me. I made sure the inside light was off then opened the door and got out. I could hear the very drunk Syd shouting at them. “So this is where faggots live, huh?”

 

One of the men froze as Syd approached them but the other came forward. There was a big light on the house and as the man stepped into it, I recognized him. It was James and the other man had to have been Carl. “What do you want? We don’t even know you. Just leave now.”

 

I went to the back of the Hummer and opened the back taking out my 30-06 then quickly loaded it. I had used that for hunting and it was dead on accurate with the scope I had mounted on it. Moving back to the front of the Hummer, I laid it on the hood. “Leave,” Syd spat. “I’ll leave but not before I take out the fucking faggot garbage.”

 

I was a good 75 feet from them and I didn’t want to have to make that kind of a shot. Then two men kept advancing towards each other and James was a big man but not like Syd. “What business it is of yours? I suggest you leave before we call the police.”

 

Syd stopped when James said that. I thought he was going to leave but instead, he pulled out a knife. He opened the blade then held it behind his back. I froze momentarily when I saw this. Then Syd charged at James and grabbed him by the front of the shirt. He pulled his arm out from around his back thrusting the knife into James’ stomach then into his chest then Syd threw the man to the ground. Carl was stunned then he cried out. “James.”

 

He ran towards his fallen friend. “Carl STAY BACK.”

 

I pulled my 9mm and aimed down on Syd. “NO CARL STOP!”

 

He didn’t pay any attention to me then Syd grabbed the little man stabbing him. Just then, the front door opened and out ran two teens. I had Syd in my sights then he turned around using Carl as a shield. I could see he was badly wounded but still alive and I couldn’t risk a shot. The teens were frozen on the front stoop. Both boys were crying hysterically. The taller teen started to move. “DADDY!”

 

I kept Syd in my sights. “SON, GO BACK TO THE PORCH. STAY BACK BOY, DO IT!”

 

He stopped then slowly moved back to where he was. Syd looked over his shoulder. “So the faggot is a Daddy huh? Come here boy and take a good look at the garbage.”

 

Syd then stared right at me. “Well if it isn’t the bitch. You going to shoot me bitch? I don’t think so, not if you want to risk hitting this little pretty boy.”

 

The older teen started inching his way towards his fallen father. “GET BACK KID NOW!!! I WANT YOU BOTH TO GO INTO THE HOUSE, LOCK THE DOOR AND CALL THE POLICE!!!”

 

He froze in his tracks then Syd looked back over his shoulder. I was hoping he’d turn around then I wouldn’t hesitate to drop him like a bad habit. “Don’t even think about that kid if you want this other queer to live. His life is in your hands. You move towards the house then this faggot dies.”

 

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH SYD, YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING. BOYS, GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!!!”

 

The small teen started moving towards the front door and the older teen hadn’t moved a muscle. Syd was still looking over his shoulder at the boys so I felt I had my chance. I holstered my pistol and picked up my rifle. I had Syd’s head in the cross hairs of the scope.

 

What happened next, I did not expect. The little boy ran into the house and slammed the door closed. When Syd heard the noise he spun around and the older teen bolted towards his father. Syd plunged the knife into Carl’s back then grabbed the teen by the hair. He turned around looked at me holding my rifle. “OK bitch, now you get to watch this little boy die.”

 

I had the shot and everything else was blocked out. I took a deep breath, let half of it out and squeezed the trigger. ‘BANG’ Syd fell backwards to the ground and the teen just started screaming. I laid my rifle down on the hood and ran to him. As soon as I got to him, I quickly started looking for cuts. By the grace of God, Syd had not cut him. The front door opened and the other teen ran out. I picked the older teen up in one arm then grabbed the other boy and carried them inside the house. They’d seen enough for one night. I set the boys down and looked at the little one. “Did you call the police?”

 

He was stunned by everything but he managed to nod his head. “I’m Lee, what are your names?”

 

The older teen just broke down crying. The younger did manage to mumble, “I’m Kevin, and this is Jamie.”

 

At that point, Kevin lost it and fell into my arms braking down into hysterics. I don’t know how much time passed, I didn’t even register the sirens as they approached, but I heard a knock on the door. I looked up and there stood Bryce and Oliver. “Lee, what happened?”

 

I shook my head. “Not now guys. Get an ambulance here now please.”

 

“They’re already here.  Didn’t you hear the sirens?” asked Bryce.  “They’re checking on the victims now.”  I could tell by the look on both of their faces that it wasn’t good.

 

I managed to get their tears under control. “Boys, these two Officers will hold you if you need it. I have to make a phone call.”

 

Bryce kneeled down and Jamie went into his arms and started to cry again. Kevin fell into Oliver’s and broke down again. I went outside and called Hans.  As I left the house I saw three sheets covering the ass wipe and the boy’s dads. “Hey babe, looks like I’m going to have to break a promise to you.”

 

Hans knew me all too well. “Baby, what is it? Are you alright?”

 

“Physically I’m fine baby,” I said with almost no emotion in my voice.

 

“Love, what happened?” Hans asked concerned. “Was it that guy?”

 

“Yeah love it was. It’s a mess here right now. I’m going to need you to go over to the hospital and wait there. Oliver and Bryce are bringing a couple of boys in so they can get checked out and they might need to see a friendly face. I’ll let them know you’re going to be there. I’ll be over there as soon as I can. I really need you now love.”

 

I started to cry as all my emotions came flooding out. “Baby, I’ll be there and I love you. I’ll always be there for you.”

 

I closed the phone then sat on the stoop and broke down. The ambulance backed up the drive way and the paramedics went inside and looked over the boys. Both boys were almost catatonic and just stood there as they were checked out.

 

Bryce and Oliver led them out the back door so they wouldn’t have to see what was in their front yard.  Bryce and Oliver were going with them to the hospital as the police shooting team came out. One officer saw the boys going into the ambulance and he got a real attitude. “Wait, where are you taking them?”

 

Bryce came out and I thought I was going to have to tackle him. “Look dip shit, they just went through hell and they need to be checked out by a doctor.”

 

“Are they witnesses?” he asked trying to push towards the rig.

 

“Yeah they are,” I shouted as I got into his face. “And one boy is also a victim so let them go. You can talk with them later but I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think you’ll be getting much out of them any time soon.”

 

Bryce turned back and climbed into the ambulance then it took off for the hospital. “And just why is that?”

 

I just shook my head. I had to fight to keep from punching him right in the mouth. “Because, they just saw their Dad’s get murdered then the older teen had a knife held to his throat as the perp threatened to kill him.”

 

The guy stood there for a minute then his attitude returned. “Yeah well we all have problems but I’m getting the ambulance back here now.”

 

He reached for his radio then I saw a hand reach in and snatch it out of his hand. I looked up as he turned around and standing there was a uniformed officer with gold bars on his collar. “Rice, just what the hell are you doing?”

 

“Trying to get two witnesses back here,” he said with a smirk on his face.

 

He shook his head. “Did I hear this man correctly that one boy is a victim too?”

 

Rice shook his head. “I don’t believe that and I won’t until I’ve had a chance to interrogate them?”

 

The Lieutenant shook his head. “Oh no you don’t, not this time. You’re off this case. I’ll handle this one myself.”

 

I thought this dude was gonna get punched. He got into the Lieutenant’s face and started screaming. “Why, what gives you the right?”

 

“Get your ass out of here and back to the office,” the officer said. “You’ll not yell at me like that. You brow beat another child and left him so messed up it took him months before we could talk to him. You’ll not do this again. If I have my way, you’ll no longer carry a badge. Now get out of here.”

 

I watched as the plain clothes officer stormed off the property then I sat back down on the porch. I just looked out onto the lawn at the three dead bodies now covered with sheets. The lieutenant sat down beside me and held a tape recorder. “Sir, can you tell me what happened?”

 

I shook my head. I looked out there and the whole thing played back in my head like a video tape. Over and over and over again it played. Then I looked at him handing him my credentials. “Do I need a lawyer?”

 

He studied them for a few minutes then handed them back to me. “If what you said when I arrived is true, then you don’t need a lawyer because it was more than justified.”

 

I stared out at the darkness then remembered the carnage that took place a short time ago. “I wish there was another way but he didn’t leave me any choice. Damn, I wish that boy had gone inside like I told him. Shit, why didn’t he just listen to me?”

 

I was babbling not making any sense. I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Taking someone’s life is the hardest think we ever do. You know it’s right, you know it’s the only way but it’s something no one ever forgets. Before you ask, yes, I’ve had to shoot a person. I still remember it. It was justified and a righteous shoot. A teen aged boy owes his life to you for what you did.”

 

I put my head in my hands and started crying. I saw people from the medical examiner’s office out there and the coroner lifted the sheet the covered Syd and I saw what was left of his body. I turned around, ran into the house, located a bathroom then stuck my head into the toilet and puked.

 

What happened after that I don’t remember because then next thing I do remember was waking up on a gurney in the hospital ER with Hans’ standing beside me. As soon as my eyes cleared, I sat up and went into his arms totally losing it. “Oh God baby, I killed a man. GOD, I KILLED A MAN.”

 

I felt his hand rubbing my back but I was almost to the point of total hysterics. “I know love but you saved a boy’s life. You’re a hero.”

 

Funny, at that moment I sure didn’t feel like a hero. “Why did he make me do that?”

 

I just sat there blabbering like a baby in Hans’ arms. I felt him shift his position and I thought he was trying to leave. “NO DON’T LEAVE ME BABY, PLEASE.”

 

He took my hands as he moved around and sat beside me wrapping me back in his arms. “Shh baby, I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here.”

 

I buried my head in his shoulder and started crying again. I don’t know how long I cried but then I felt a hand touch me. I jumped as I had gotten startled then I saw one of the boys standing there with Oliver. I sat up wiping the tears off my face and pasting a smile on my face. “Well, hi there son. Uh, you’re Kevin right?”

 

He stepped up and took my hand laying his head on my lap. “Yes sir, I’m Kevin. I, I wanna thank you for saving my boyfriend’s life.”

 

He realized what he just said then pulled back. Hans’ reached out and put his hand on Kevin’s back. I looked down at the boy as tears started to fall. “It’s ok son. You don’t have to be scared.”

 

He just stared at me. Hans reached out and picked him up setting him on his lap. “I have a secret to tell you Kevin. I’m Lee’s boyfriend.”

 

Kevin looked at Hans then over to me. He buried his face in Hans’ chest and started crying. “I miss my Daddy.”

 

Hans rubbed his back then I was joined by Bryce and Jamie. He saw Kevin crying then ran over and started hitting Hans and me. “Why did you hurt him? Let him go now. Let him go.”

 

I reached out and pulled Jamie onto my lap. Kevin looked over and held Jamie’s hand. “They didn’t hurt me. I miss my Daddy.”

 

Jamie looked down and started crying. “I I’m s sorry mis mister. I miss my Daddy too Kevin.”

 

I couldn’t hold my tears any longer and soon all three of us were sitting there crying. Poor Hans was trying to sooth the three of us but wasn’t having any success. The next thing I remember a Doctor came in and lifted Jamie’s gown and jabbed a needle into his butt. Next was Kevin and then I felt a sting in my own backside. I don’t remember much after that.

 

When I woke up, I was in a room and Hans had his head on the bed beside me. I reached out and rubbed his soft hair causing him to stir then sit up. “Hi baby, how are you feeling?”

 

I rubbed my butt then took his hand and kissed it. “My butt still hurts. What time is it?”

 

He looked at his watch. “It’s 4 in the afternoon.”

 

I looked around and noticed 2 other beds in there. “Who are they?”

 

Hans smiled at me. “It’s the boys. After you passed out, they panicked and started screaming they didn’t want to be away from you.”

 

I started crying again then Hans lowered the bed rail climbing in next to me. “I’ll never get that scene out of my head love. I killed a man baby.”

 

“I know love,” he said softly as I got his hair soaked with my tears. “We’ll get through this together.”

 

Suddenly I got scared. “My gun? Who has my guns?”

 

“Shh baby,” Hans said rubbing my hair. “I have your pistol. A uniformed officer unloaded it then gave it to me. I took it home and it’s in the safe. I closed it and it’s locked. He has your rifle though. He gave me a receipt for it and he said you’d get that back in a few days.”

 

I felt a little better then something else just hit me. “Shit, shit, shit. I need that officer. I gotta tell him something.”

 

Hans put his finger over my lips. “Not so loud baby, the boys are sleeping. There’s no rush on that.”

 

I started shaking my head trying to sit up and reach over Hans. He grabbed my hand. “Baby, you don’t understand. They need to get a blood sample from Syd.”

 

Hans pulled my arm into his and held onto it. “They have time for that and what’s so important about getting blood?”

 

“They need to run DNA tests on it.” I said softly. “I want to find out if he raped those other two boys.”

 

Hans kissed me gently then reached over picking up the phone. “Here you go baby.”

 

I found the officer who was out at the scene and talked with him for a few minutes. He assured me they’d get a blood sample and run the necessary tests. I hung up and Hans set it back on the stand. I don’t know why but once again, tears started to fall. Hans held me kissing my tear stained face then I felt the other bedrail get lowered and someone crawl in with me. “Why are you crying sir?”

 

I rolled onto my back and there was Jamie lying beside me. I extended my arm out sliding it under his head. He rolled onto his side and let me cuddle him as I tried to answer his question. “I guess I’m having a hard time dealing with what I did son.”
