Lost in New England

Max huddled against the side of a bright orange dumpster in the Stop 'N Shop parking lot. He was dirty, cold, hungry, and tired. He had been having a really, really lousy day.

He wrapped his arms more tightly around his chest and stared through the window into the store. There was still no sign of Tommy.

Max had been waiting at the market for hours and he was just about at the end of his rope.

His silly scheme to have Danny taken away, only to be magically found and returned by Max, was disintegrating. In the original plan, Danny would be away less than a day. Max himself would offer up his amazing intellect and scientific and magical prowess to TJ to selflessly find poor Danny. When Max found Danny and released him to TJ, Max would be hailed as a hero.

And surely, TJ would immediately wrap his arms around him, shower him with kisses. And finally hop into the sack with him. It was a sure bet, at least as Max had originally conceived it.

So when his New Haven contact, Tommy McKeon, who Max knew from the time he spent in the city considering Yale as a college of choice, and whom Max had paid handsomely from the generous allowance his parents gave him, called with bad news, Max was fucked. Tommy said that the guys he was with at the market last Saturday night had gone a little over board and had basically beaten the shit out of Danny.

Max was in tears as he listened to the story of the wise-cracking Danny. Tommy described Danny's bravado, even in the face of a group of local boys who could easily have killed him. Tommy had tried to intervene and to keep things under control. Unfortunately, Danny was an arrogant little hot head who taunted the guys and said he sucked dick better than their mothers did.

Naturally that had pissed off Tommy's friends, who had no idea that Tommy intended to break away from the group and spirit Danny away. So, Tommy's friends roughed Danny up a bit; in Tommy's version, Danny was such a loudmouth little shit that he sort of deserved it anyway.

You don't talk about somebody's mom and fellatio in the same sentence.

So, at the end of the day, unfortunately, there was some blood spilled. And Danny wound up on the pavement outside the Stop 'N Shop as Tommy's friends walked off into the night.

Tommy was dumbstruck initially as he walked in the pack with his friends. It felt to him like a pack of wild dogs after they'd taken down a gazelle.

After a block or so, Tommy knew he was fucked, but his police instincts took over, and he said he was just going back to make sure the store called an ambulance for the guy. Nobody protested, they'd probably never miss him.

Tommy ran at full speed the few hundred yards back to the Stop 'N Shop. As he sprinted into the parking lot, he saw the surveillance cameras. It didn't take a genius to realize that the store cameras probably caught the whole thing on video tape.

He panicked, and considered just leaving Danny alone in the parking lot. Surely some body would come along eventually and call for help. Instead,Tommy had taken Danny back to his apartment, given him first aid, taken care of him. For an entire week!

Tommy had to get the video tape to erase any proof of the fag-bashing.

When Tommy called Max last weekend to report that there was a problem, that things had not gone off exactly as planned, Max was angry and confused.

Max's plan to bed TJ was disintegrating, and he felt powerless to do anything about it. Max would be glad just to get out of the whole messy situation without being carted off to jail!



As Max and Tommy talked on the phone, Max saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Tommy thought he could take care of everything. Nurse Danny back to health, keep everything completely anonymous, and get Danny back to his family and friends within a few days.

Initially, Max was a little pessimistic, but Tommy assured him that as a local police officer, he had better options than just about anybody else around. Basically, it was Tommy's way, or the highway. Max had no idea what that meant, but he trusted Tommy.

All week long, as Max made his way to classes at MIT, and kept track of progress down in New Haven by phone or by email, things had been back on track. Despite the potential jail time that Max couldn't stop thinking about, he still felt good about trusting Tommy to fix things. But it was taking way too long. Tommy was supposed to go and get the videotape from the store immediately. But he couldn't because the store had a system and Tommy needed to fully understand it first before he tried any kind of funny business.

Days went by, and still the videotape remained at the Stop 'N Shop. Those first few days, Max was satisfied with his daily reports from Tommy. Then, as the week dragged on, Max was becoming sullen and depressed.

At least one part of Max's plan was on track. Early in the week, Max had met up with TJ right after Danny was kidnapped and TJ got back from the invitational in New Haven. Poor TJ had needed a friend, he was pretty upset and Max had been there for him. So, while Step One was a complete cluster-fuck, at least Step Two was working out. And right on schedule.

Next, just as Max thought he would, TJ had invited Max to accompany him to New Haven. And while Max put on a show of caring surprised, he really hadn't needed to. TJ had been pretty oblivious. All the guy was able to really think about was his friend Danny. So, Step Three appeared to be going okay, so Max felt like maybe, just maybe, this would all work out exactly as it was supposed to!

Since he was by far the more financially well-endowed of the two of them, Max booked a hotel room for them in New Haven. TJ requested two beds. Max insisted on one. TJ put his foot down. But booked them into a room with one. Which is exactly what TJ would have expected Max to do. After all, Max had been pretty clear with TJ about his sexual intentions ever since he'd met him at the beginning of the school year. So, if he was thinking like TJ would think: Max was just being Max.

It was only once he and TJ had actually arrived in New Haven that the cluster-fuck began again.

Despite Max's best efforts, and his little yoga show in the hotel room early this morning, TJ had resisted having sex with him. Not exactly a total disaster, but not good either. Bagging TJ was proving to Max to be much more difficult than he had originally thought it would be.

Then, when he and TJ and Danny's brother David were over at the police station waiting for the investigating officer, Max lost complete control of himself. He started to panic for real. Max couldn't risk being recognized by any of the cops at the station; so he split.

And, after wandering the streets of New Haven for hours, after upsetting a perfectly nice little family over at the Yale Quad, Max was beside himself. He'd been trying to reach Tommy all day. But Tommy, the fuck, wasn't answering his phone. And Tommy wasn't calling Max back either.

So here Max sat. In the parking lot. He hadn't been in touch with TJ all day. He'd kept hoping against hope that he and Tommy would hook up and that Max could take Danny back to TJ and his brother David. He already had a fairly believable story that he'd created weeks ago about how he'd managed to find Danny and secure his release. Max considered that it had an 88.5% chance of success, odds he was definitely willing to take.

But now, Max didn't know what on earth to do. And so he sat by the garbage bin at the Stop 'N Shop. If the whole plan was going to work, Max had to be the one to deliver the goods. He had to bring Danny home, nobody else.

Max was miserable.

He was increasingly unsure if TJ would ever let Max fuck him. At this point, Max would have settled for just five minutes of foreplay with the guy. So long as he got to have TJ's legendary cock in his mouth at least once! If he ever did get to have sex with TJ, it was bound to better than awesome! Better than fucking "rockets red glare" awesome

**

Paolo and Jeremy M stood by the Customer Service Desk of the New Haven Stop 'N Shop. The store was creepy quiet, nobody even at the cashier at this late hour. A clerk with very long purple finger nails examined them as if she was seeing them for the very first time.

Jeremy M held the large blue package of Oreo cookies close to his chest, his mouth watering with the anticipation of eating them soon. Very soon.

It had been a really, really long day, and now it was coming to a very interesting ending. He hadn't expected to be taken for a road trip from Boston down to New Haven. He hadn't expected to get jacked off in the car while he was sleeping. And he hadn't expected to have a chance to see his younger brother.

All good things. But if anybody fucking touched his Oreos, he didn't know how he would react. Not likely to be pretty!

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted his brother Carey walking down the aisle through the fruits and vegetables toward him. There was a uniformed police officer following right behind him.

Carey M broke into a little jog. Jeremy M met him half way. They hugged. Just like brothers who were totally surprised to run into one another inside a supermarket.

Carey M was taller than his brother Jeremy and draped an arm over his shoulder; they walked together over to where Paolo was standing. Waiting for them both with a giant smile on his face.

Even if Carey M was a top, perhaps there was a still a three-way possibility for Paolo with these guys. He was willing to be creative. Introductions were made. Paolo noted that Carey M looked a little disheveled, as if he'd just been sucking somebody else's dick in the back room of the store. He put the thought out of his mind and tried to keep his eyes above Carey M's neck.

"So what the heck are you doing here dude?" Carey M asked his brother.

Jeremy M looked at Paolo.

"I have no idea," Jeremy M said. He held up his bag of Oreos. "I needed food."

Carey M laughed.

"Don't they have food in Boston?" he asked.

Jeremy M shrugged.

"It had just been too long, I guess. Anyway, Paolo and I just thought we'd check out New Haven for the weekend. He lives here." Jeremy M nodded in Paolo's direction, hoping he would provide a little bit more information.

Carey M scanned Paolo from head to toe and then looked at his brother.

"I approve, big bro," Carey M said to his older, yet much shorter brother. "I hope you find some time to actually explore New Haven a little bit as well."

All three of them laughed.

Suddenly Carey M realized that he was being impolite. He totally forgot about Officer Tommy McKeon, who he'd just been in the manager's office with.

He turned to introduce Tommy to his brother and Paolo.

But there was nobody there.

"Huh? Where'd he go? He was just here a second ago," Carey M said.

Paolo and Jeremy M looked down the produce aisle but didn't see anybody else.

"He was just...that's weird," Carey M said.

"Do you mean that cop?" Jeremy M said. "I saw a guy in uniform trailing you when you first came toward us, but then he disappeared."

Carey M shook his head. He looked at his brother.

"Yeah, we were just together in the back. And then they told me you guys were down here, so..."

Carey M thought about explaining what it was that Officer Tommy McKeon and he had been doing up in the manager's office. Well, the official stuff, before Carey M wound up between the guy's legs smoking his joint. He rolled his eyes. Oh well.

"And now he's gone. Poof!" Jeremy M said, jokingly.

Carey M chuckled.

"You have no idea," Carey M said. The three of them exchanged a glance. Paolo's suspicions were confirmed. And now Jeremy M figured it out too.

"That's my little brother!" Jeremy M said, clapping him on the back. "You make me so proud!"

"Thanks Jeremy," Carey M said with a smile. "I'd like to say that you taught me everything that I know, but well, you didn't."

"That's the problem with tops and bottoms," Paolo interjected, trying to be helpful. "It's like a different science entirely. A bottom can't teach a top to be a top. And a top can't... well vice versa."

Jeremy M blushed.

"Why the heck are we having this conversation? This is my little brother here, he's barely drinking age!"

"Jeremy, come on! We fucked all the same guys in high school," Carey M said.

"Well, you may have fucked them. I got fucked by them," Jeremy M said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard this a thousand times," Carey M said.

As they laughed again, Carey M looked around the store for Tommy. He caught a flash of the police officer exiting the store.

He didn't even say good bye?! Carey M wondered what the problem was. He had wanted to introduce him to his brother. Tommy was about the fittest guy he'd been with in a long time; since Jeremy worked out like a freak, he would definitely have liked him.

Carey M's eyes followed Tommy all the way outside. He could still see him through the front windows. He was about to turn away when he saw Tommy stop. He was talking to somebody. Whoever the other person was, he was really getting into Tommy's face.

Jeremy M and Paolo turned to see what it was that Carey M was looking at.

The guy outside was pointing a finger right into the face of the police officer. Tommy put his hand up to block the guy. It looked like they were having an argument.

"Oh god!" Carey M said.

"Oh god what?" his brother asked.

Carey M walked quickly over to the station where his manager was located.

"Mr. Patel!" Carey M shouted. "I think you should call the police, those hoodlums from last weekend might be back!"

Mr. Patel looked up from some papers he was perusing on the desk. Carey M ran to the store window at the front of the store and pointed outside. His brother and Paolo ran right behind him. Even the cashier with the purple nail polish stopped what she was doing and looked toward the window as well.

"I'm not calling the police," Sunil Patel said, calmly. "The police are already here. If we call them too often for no reason at all, they won't come quickly when we really need them."

"Whatever," Carey M said.

He ran out the door. His brother Jeremy and Paolo followed him outside. Jeremy M still held his Oreos tightly to his chest.

When Carey M and the others ran up, they found a handsome, dark-skinned Asian man completely flipping out. Whoever the guy was, he had Tommy speechless. The cop kept trying to get a word in, but the Asian man wasn't listening. He just kept yelling.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Carey M, trying to sound much butcher than he actually was.

Tommy and the Asian man turned toward him in unison. There was an awkward pause. Neither of them knew what to say. Tommy sighed and appeared to be thinking.

Carey M was the man who had just had Tommy's dick in his mouth. Max didn't know that of course, but if he had, he would have changed his approach to the situation.

Finally, Tommy spoke.

"Sir, please step back, and stop pointing your finger at me. If you continue, I will be forced to arrest you.

"Arrest me? Are you kidding fucking me?" Max asked with surprise.

"No sir, I am not kidding, now please step back," Tommy said. He held up both hands in the universal sign for stop.

"What's going on Officer?" Carey M asked again.

"Never mind, young man," Tommy replied. "Now you folks just go back inside. I have everything under control out here."

Carey M chuckled.

"Um, forgive me for saying so Tommy, but it doesn't really look like it's under control," Carey M said. "Who the heck is this guy?"

Carey M pointed at Max. Max stepped back and shoved his hands into his pockets. He stared at Carey M, and then at Jeremy M, his mind making the connection.

"Are you two brothers of each other?" Max asked.

Carey M looked at his brother and nodded. "He's older," he said in response. Max smiled and nodded. Despite the fact that his world was just about to implode, he forgot about all that for a moment. His libido got the best of him.

"I'm Carey, I live here in New Haven, I'm the assistant manager of the store," Carey M said, extending his hand to Max.

"Max," Max said. "I'm from Boston, unemployed. But I go to MIT."

"Wow," Carey M said. "You must be smart, like my brother."

"People, can we go back inside please? All right already!" Tommy tried to interject. He had a frustrated look on his face. This was all not going to end well.

"Hi Max," Jeremy M stepped up. "I'm Jeremy. I don't know about being smart, but I live in Boston too. I'm in the English department at BU."

"Nice," Max said. He was grinning broadly now. What a hot little crowd of gorgeous men he had run into. When he least expected it. He ran his fingers through the mop of his dark hair and tried to plaster it down.

"And I'm Paolo," Paolo stepped forward to introduce himself. "And I'm not in college. I work. Here in New Haven."

"Christ! This is all very civilized! Can everyone just go back inside the store please? I need to have a conversation with this man here," Tommy said, trying to round up the group and schuss them away.

Jeremy M opened the seal on his box of Oreos. Everyone watched.

"Who wants one?"

Max stepped up immediately. "Oh my god, I am so starving!" he said. "Thank you, I don't mind if I will."

Max grabbed three and popped one into his mouth whole.

"Me too," Carey M said.

Jeremy M took one for himself and nibbled half.

"These are just great, right?" Jeremy M said. "Officer, you want one?"

Jeremy M held out the box for Tommy, who declined.

Carey M reached his hand in again and took out a few more. "I totally forgot how good these are, bro!"

"I know, aren't they? I could eat them every day!" Jeremy M said.

Paolo laughed. "Why are you so thin?" he asked.

"It's because he fucking bikes everywhere and runs his ass off," Carey M answered for his brother.

This caught Max's attention.

"Oh yeah, you run? Up in Boston? Where? Along the river?"

"All the time, whenever my teaching schedule allows," Jeremy M answered.

"You teach too?" Max asked.

Jeremy M was chewing and covered his mouth.

"Yeah, he's an English TA," Carey M answered again. "Freshmen English. Right bro?"

Jeremy M coughed and swallowed and nodded all at the same time.

"No way Jose," Max said. "I have a friend who is right now taking Freshmen English at BU. I wonder if you know him!"

"All right, all right," Tommy shouted. "Enough! You three back inside! Now! Or I'll have to arrest each one of you!"

"For what? For eating Oreos?"

Everybody except Tommy thought that was funny. Tommy put his hands on Carey M and Jeremy M's shoulders.

"Just get inside," Tommy said. "I am conducting some police business here, and I don't need any of you to hear what I have to say to this man."

Tommy nodded in the direction of Max, who gave them all his best "what the fuck do I know?" shrug.

Jeremy M took out two more Oreos and handed them Max before they turned back toward the store entrance.

"Hey, my friends name is TJ! Do you know him?" Max asked, raising his voice.

As Jeremy turned, he saw Tommy smack Max in the head. I wonder why he did that.

Did Jeremy M know a TJ? Of course he did.

Just not well enough yet.

Back inside Stop 'N Shop, Carey M, his brother, and Paolo huddled together by the Customer Service counter.

Paolo put a hand on Jeremy M's shoulder. Carey M watched his brother soaking up the attention. The truth was that Carey M worshipped his older brother.

It was getting quite late and Paolo had been a pretty good sport about the pit stop, and all the chit chat at Stop 'N Shop. Now that Jeremy M had eaten his Oreos and had gotten a chance to see his little brother, Paolo was done. It was time for him to get Jeremy M home.



While Jeremy M and his brother talked, Paolo shifted his weight and looked at the ceiling. Both brothers noticed. Jeremy M placed a hand on Paolo's forearm.



"I'm really sorry about all this Paolo," Jeremy M said. "I had no idea this would all take so long. We have to get out of here."



Paolo looked ruefully at Jeremy M. Yes we do, his look said.



Jeremy M sighed. He said goodbye to his brother. As he turned toward the exit, Jeremy M did not see Paolo hand a small slip of paper to Carey. Carey M smiled and stuck it in the front of his pants. He knew exactly what it was.



Outside the supermarket, there was no sign of the police officer or that guy from Boston who knew TJ. Jeremy M wondered where the two of them could have gone so quickly.



Five minutes later, Paolo parked in front of the old Victorian house that he shared with Donnie. With luck, Paolo and Jeremy M would have the whole day. Donnie was a neat freak and would probably spend the day scrubbing their place in P 'town free of dust and germs. Donnie would call just as he was about to leave, the two of them would make up, and then Donnie would be on his way back to New Haven. Paolo thought that he might even tell Donnie about Jeremy M when he called.



Maybe.



Paolo and Jeremy M climbed the stairs. Paolo unlocked the front door and they walked inside.



Jeremy M dropped his backpack onto the floor as Paolo turned to face him. Paolo slipped his hands inside of the zip-up hoodie that Jeremy M was wearing. His palms pressed against Jeremy M's upper ribs, feeling the taut muscles under his arms. Jeremy M shuddered and let his neck fall back. Paolo's mouth found Jeremy's lips; his tongue found Jeremy's throat, the force of his grip drawing them together.



Jeremy M was instantly hard. Whatever Paolo wanted to do to him right now was okay.



Kicking the door closed behind Jeremy M with his foot, Paolo pressed their faces together. Jeremy M softened the pressure of his lips, allowing Paolo to take over. It felt to him like Paolo's tongue was all the way down to his neck. Since he was easily six inches shorter than Paolo, Jeremy M grabbed both sides of Paolo's butt and held on tight, he could feel Paolo's mighty cock bursting through his jeans, pressing against Jeremy's lower abs.



Deftly, Paolo removed the hoodie from Jeremy M and cast it onto the floor.



Jeremy M shuddered again. There was only a light t-shirt between them. Jeremy M's tiny nipples stood erect and Paolo placed his thumbs over them. Jeremy M smiled and pulled harder on Paolo's hips, flattening their cocks still more. Now as Paolo smiled, Jeremy M reciprocated with Paolo's shirt, tossing it onto the floor as well.



Paolo slipped a hand behind Jeremy M and placed his middle finger between the cheeks, and then he gracefully moved around behind Jeremy and guided him to walk forward. Paolo's hand repositioned as Jeremy M walked, his middle finger tapping lightly against the opening. Jeremy M turned to kiss Paolo again before they walked up the stairs. Paolo unlocked the front of Jeremy M's pants and they fell to his knees, hanging up momentarily on the tenting of his cock through his underwear.



Jeremy's dick and his butt were sandwiched between Paolo's large hands. Combined with the pants around his knees, he was stuck and couldn't move. Paolo noticed and grinned. They locked their mouths together, this time Jeremy M's tongue explored the back of Paolo's mouth. With a half grunt, Paolo picked him up and hoisted him up the stairs. When they reached the top, Jeremy M allowed his lips to rise up from Paolo's so Paolo could breathe. Paolo slipped off his shirt and threw it down the stairs, then did the same with Jeremy's. As the skin of their torsos touched, Paolo's middle finger worked its way inside Jeremy's butt. Jeremy M's cock reacted with a tiny squirt of pre-cum. Paolo felt the moistness from outside Jeremy's underwear and rubbed a finger around the tip through the cloth.



"Ah," Jeremy M said quietly. "You'd better hurry up and fuck me, you're gonna make me cum before we even get out of the hallway!"



Paolo laughed and tussled Jeremy M's red hair lightly.



"Haven't you already cum enough times today?" Paolo asked. "You're like a machine!"



Now Jeremy M laughed.



"No worries mate," he responded with an Australian accent. "Trust me, I've got plenty left."



He stroked himself lightly to underline the point. Paolo placed his hand on top of Jeremy's and forced him to jack his own dick.



"Ahh," Jeremy M said, this time more loudly.



Paolo licked the underside of Jeremy M's jawline. This tickled him, and Jeremy M jumped away. Because his pants still locked his knees together, Jeremy M twisted away awkwardly and he fell to the floor at the top of the staircase.



Paolo tried to catch him but couldn't do it in time. They both giggled, and Paolo lay over him. He peered into Jeremy M's eyes and bit his upper lip.



"Let's get my dick inside you," Paolo said gently.



"Yes, let's," Jeremy M agreed.



Paolo wriggled Jeremy M's pants down to the bottom of his legs, tugged off his shoes, then slipped the pants off completely. They landed at the bottom of the stairs with a soft thud. Jeremy M was down to just his underwear and socks. Paolo dug a finger under the least if band at the top of each sock and flipped them both down the stairs to the growing pile of clothes. Jeremy M smiled broadly and lifted his hips off the floor so that Paolo could remove his briefs.



"Eager?" Paolo asked.



"You have no idea!"



Paolo finished the job. Jeremy M lie naked on the floor, his fat hard-on throbbing lightly in the air. Paolo spent about thirty seconds and carefully examined the perfect male specimen that he was just about to make love to. When he had finished checking over every part of him, he nodded his approval.



"You'll do," Paolo said.



Jeremy M giggled. He flexed at the waist and sat up. ""I'll do what? Just say the word, sir, and I'll do it."



"Good," Paolo said. "That's what I wanted to hear. Now stand up and finish getting me undressed."



Jeremy M stood and saluted. "Yessir!"



Jeremy M never made it to the actual bed. Before he did, Paolo pulled his arms back at the shoulder and eased him to the floor. As Jeremy M's knees hit the floor, his hard-on bounced twice then settled at an angle pointing his own face.

Paolo put his forearm under Jeremy's neck and tilted his head backward. He stepped forward above Jeremy's face and planted the crease of his ass on top of his nose. Jeremy M sucked in a breathful of sweaty cotton.

Paolo leaned forward and took hold of Jeremy M's ankles. He pulled his feet off the ground and spread them widely apart. Jeremy's balls fell away from his butt and wrapped loosely around the base of his hard cock. Still partially clothed, Paolo planted his face between Jeremy's cheeks. He spit into the hold and flipped his tongue around the pink rosebud of Jeremy's butthole.

"Ahh," Jeremy M said again.

With his ass in the air Jeremy was balanced precariously on the back of his neck. Paolo was practically lifting him off the ground by the ankles. Small drips of pre-cum slipped out of the tip of his dick and stretched in a web to the center of his chest.

Paolo took note of Jeremy M's leakage and doubled down on Jeremy's butt. Letting go of one ankle, he spread Jeremy M's butt wider with his fingers and pulled him higher off the floor with other. Poor Jeremy tensed his neck and tried to keep from falling.

Paolo dug his index finger inside of Jeremy and instantly located the sweet spot.

"Whoa! Fuck, Paolo!" Jeremy M shrieked.

Wrapping an elbow around Jeremy M's foot to keep him aloft, Paolo licked his palm and took hold of Jeremy M's penis. Paolo stuck an extra finger inside Jeremy M's hole and stroked his dick at the same time.

"Oh god!" Jeremy M said from the floor. "This is crazy! Put your fucking dick inside me already!"

Jeremy M pulled himself downward and Paolo's finger came out of his ass with a pop. He scooted backward on the floor, sat up, then reached up and tugged the rest of Paolo's clothes over his hips and down to his feet. Paolo's cock sprung free and landed with a smack on the top of Jeremy M's tongue; he was rock hard and primed with his own cap of pre-cum. Jeremy M sucked on Paolo's rod for a while and then hopped sprightly onto the edge of the bed.

Jeremy M wrapped his hands around his own ankles and lifted his legs up and apart. One second later, Paolo was upon him, letting his massive cock rest momentarily on the outside. Jeremy M thrust his behind higher into the air to will the cock inside. Paolo placed his palm on the top and physically shoved himself into Jeremy M's hole.

Jeremy M gasped.

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Jeremy M yelled. "You're like a baseball bat! Shit!"

Paolo started to pulse his body in and out of Jeremy M. He went slowly, allowing the full length to penetrate him completely, and then exit to all but the last half inch. Jeremy M writhed and wriggled on the side of the bed.

"Please," Jeremy M yelped. "Go faster! Please Paolo!"

And Paolo would thrust even more slowly. The effect on Jeremy M was maddening, and he moved up and down furiously to fuck himself with Paolo's dick.

Finally, Paolo completely stopped moving.

Jeremy M opened his eyes. "What?" he said.

Paolo's eyes pierced to the inside of Jeremy's head and willed him to relax.

"Okay, okay, I'll calm down. I promise! Just don't stop fucking me!" Jeremy M pleaded.

For nearly an hour, Paolo screwed Jeremy M slowly. He stroked his cock until it appeared Jeremy might cum, and then he would stop abruptly. At times, when Jeremy's moans lessened, Paolo sped up and slammed his cock inside. Their sweat glistened in the soft light from outside and Jeremy slipped off the edge of the bed.

Finally, when tears streamed down his face, Paolo finally let Jeremy M cum. He shot his own load just outside Jeremy M's hole.

The two of them collapsed onto the floor in a kiss. Jeremy M closed his eyes.

While the phone rang, Jeremy M kept his eyes shut and drew Paolo closer. Paolo opened his eyes and glanced at his cell on the floor. He couldn't read the number, but he already knew who it was.

Danny woke up from a nap. He hadn't been tired, just incredibly bored.

Over the course of the past week, since he'd been held captive, his mood had changed considerably.

Initially, being tied was a sexual turn-on; Danny's dick had been hard for a full day. Not knowing what was about to happen to him, and not knowing who was about to do it was a bonus!

But when nobody came by to have sex with him, Danny's dick softened. Danny got a little pissed off and started to complain. It had been a really, really long time since he had gone so many days without getting off. In response, his captor (who was pretty fucking hot, by the way) set up the rolling porno video. The video was exactly what Danny needed; he was amused for a while by Colt and his brutal top act.

Once or twice, with the help of Colt and the parade of bottom-boy twinks in the video, Danny managed to will a bit of semen out of his cock, despite the fact that he could not help out with the use of his hands.

Danny, of course, still wasn't satisfied. He wanted to suck a real dick. Or get fucked by one. Watching somebody else do it on a big flat screen just was not the same thing.

So, with the cramping in his arms and legs from lack of exercise, and the constant screwing and cumming of Colt on the TV screen in front of him, Danny was starting to get a little depressed. He'd been so frustrated earlier today, in fact, that he'd lost it with his captor.

And then he saw the guy naked.

Whoa! The man was cut. He had abs of steel, incredible arms covered on both sides with flames, and a hairless chest that Danny could get lost in for a very long time.

The guy's dick wasn't the best one that Danny had ever seen, but it was the only one that he had seen. In the past week at least. So it was Danny's current favorite.

Danny considered it the ultimate torture that he had managed to get himself kidnapped and held captive by such a hot guy. A hot guy that he could not touch. When had that ever happened before?

It was still pretty dark, though Danny wasn't exactly sure what time it was. He was staring sadly at the ceiling, trying to tune out Colt and his obnoxious grunting on the video, when he heard voices outside of his room.

Both were men.

Whatever it was they were talking about, the two men sounded pretty excited. Maybe it was an argument. But about what? Could they have been arguing about Danny?

Danny strained his ears to listen to what the men outside his door were saying over the stupid banter of his ex-friend Colt. Did the fucking guy ever fucking shut up?! He stayed absolutely still.

The men continued to talk. Their voices sounded like they were underwater. Still, Danny could make out that one was the man. The man who was holding Danny captive. The other voice was new, but sounded a bit high pitched, maybe even foreign, Danny wasn't sure.

Then both men outside his room became silent. Danny could hear himself breathing heavy. Unfortunately, Colt was not silent. Danny shot Colt and the TV screen a poisonous stare.

Then Danny heard footsteps. The man entered, he had his mask back over his face. He was carrying a brown shopping bag.

"Hi," Danny said. "What's up?"

"No talking please," the man said.

"No talking? Why? You can't possibly be tired of listening to me?"

"Shh," the man said.

Danny tried to see what the man was holding inside of the bag. He hoped it was some lube. And a different video.

The man came over to Danny's left shoulder. He pulled some black cloth out of the bag.

Shit, no lube!

"This is for your own protection. You are not going to be hurt," the man said.

"What? What's for my own protection?" Danny asked. Now he was scared.

The man placed the black cloth over Danny's face. Danny's world suddenly went black.

"What the fuck? Why do I have to have this?" Danny asked, a little panicky.

Five minutes later Danny found himself walking outside. For the first time in a week, he felt the cool night air against the skin of his arms. Despite the black cloth over his head, he could breathe the freshness of the outdoors as it leaked through the tiny openings in the cloth around his neck.

Danny couldn't see where he was going, but for the first time in many, many hours, he let himself hope.

He was going home!

At least he hoped that was where the man was taking him. The man kept his hand on Danny's shoulder as he slowly guided him along the pavement. After so many days bound to the bed, he found walking to be surprisingly complicated. But it felt damn good!

"Hey there, what are you doing?"

The voice came from somewhere behind him.

Danny felt the man's grip on his arm tighten. He shoved Danny forward, and Danny's blood went cold.

"Just mind your own business," the man said. Danny tried to pull away, but the man held him tightly.

"Keep walking Danny," the man whispered. He sounded angry.

"Stop!" The other voice shouted. "Or I'll call the cops."

The man kept shoving Danny forward. For a moment, Danny had forgotten that he could talk. Then he remembered. What the fuck? He had nothing much to lose.

"Help me," Danny screamed.

There was an incredible pain on the side of his head. That was the last thing he remembered before he blacked out.
 
Hmmm. This story has taken a more sinister turn, and I like it!

*especially the part where they began to connect the dots in the parking lot*
 
WOW!, Spike, Dude! :=D:

I didn't quite see all that coming! :eek:

Now it's making so much more sense! ..|

Oh, geeze, Max! :badgrin:

Not thrilled that Danny got knocked out. :help:

Hopefully he really will make it "home" O.K.! :cool:

Now ... about those M brothers! :bj: :gaysex: (!w!)

THANKS! for all the Thrills, Buddy! \:/ (group)

Keep Smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)
Chaz :luv:
 
We gotta do something about Max's libido. Poor Danny has gone through hell just so Max could get into TJ's pants... Tommy has found himself in a ton of trouble over this insidious plan. And who is the mysterious man that is about to call the police. Quite a turn of events in this exciting chapter, Spike.

Back upstairs in the Stop 'N Shop office, it was early Sunday morning, near the end of their overnight shift. Sunil Patel and Carey M were resting after their night duty; they sat at the built-in desk talking about all the unfortunate business that had occurred at their supermarket lately.

"I can assure you, Mr. Carey, this is all very unusual," Sunil said.

"That's good," Carey M responded, sounding relieved. "I never would have thought that simply managing a store would have so much drama."

"No, no, do not worry. While visits by the police to collect shoplifters occur regularly, it is most unusual to have visits by the police for other reasons. In all my years, I cannot remember any other episode like this one. Very unusual indeed!"

Both of them looked absently at the video monitor over their head. The screen was divided into four rectangles, each section from a different part of the market. The four rectangles remained in view for 15 seconds, and then were replaced four different views again lasting for 15 seconds. After another 15 seconds, the second set of video feeds was replaced again by the first set. And the loop repeated itself, over and over again. It was both extraordinarily boring and mesmerizing to sit in the office and watch. Both Sunil and Carey M were currently transfixed. They watched in silence and said nothing to each other for several minutes.

"I feel so bad for that kid who got kidnapped," Carey M said with a sigh.

"Yes, so sad, so sad," Sunil agreed. "But the police will catch the people who did this terrible thing. Of this, I am certain."

Carey M smiled and looked at his manager.

"Really, I hope you're right! I just don't have a lot of faith in the police these days," Carey M replied.

Sunil Patel smiled back at him.

"I am right," Sunil said simply.

"How can you be so sure? That dumb-ass cop who was in here earlier doesn't exactly make me believe that we've got the best quality guys on the case."

Sunil smiled again.

"Fortunately, that policeman who was here in the office several hours ago is not the finest that the great city of New Haven has to offer," Sunil offered.

"What do you mean?" Carey M asked.

Sunil paused, sighed heavily, and then reached over to the computer. He tapped on the mouse and the screen lit up.

"What?" Carey M asked again.

"Patience, Carey. Let me show you."

"What? What are you going to show me?"

Sunil tapped around the screen until he found the file he was looking for. Once he had it, he double clicked and a video began to load. Moments later, a surveillance tape from the store archive began to play. Carey M watched in astonishment. It was from last Saturday night, from when the college kid had been in the store, just before he was assaulted and abducted in the parking lot outside. It showed Danny Leeman standing at the register, paying for his purchases. It also showed a large group of boys come into the line just behind him.

Sunil and Carey M watched the video slowly advance. It appeared that the college kid was engaged in a conversation with the guys in line. He turned to face them head on as he waited for his change. There were some aggressive movements that appeared directed at Danny. But Danny held his ground; at one point, he even leaned toward the group of guys, certainly not backing down from whatever it was they were talking about.

Carey M jumped out of his chair.

"Oh my god! This is great; this is exactly what the police need. If we can blow it up, maybe we can see their faces. Maybe we can see who they actually are, and then the police can go and find these creeps! And bring that kid back home!"

"Yes, Carey I think we can do that. This tape will be very helpful to the police. Indeed it will," Sunil agreed.

Carey M picked the landline phone out of its cradle on the desk.

"Then let's call them!" he shouted. "Let's call that officer that was just here! The sooner they see this, the sooner they can go and find that kid!"

Sunil raised his hand to calm his assistant.

"In due course, Carey," Sunil said. "Let the tape play for a moment, and you'll see what I am talking about."

The video continued to roll. All of the boys in the group were moving animatedly, making gestures toward the college kid in front of them. Carey M noticed that one of the boys toward the back of the little pack was not moving. He was standing very still, just staring ahead of him; even with the low quality of the film, the guy looked vaguely familiar to Carey M.

Then, in a flash, it was all over. Danny Leeman exited the check stand and appeared to begin to walk out of the store. The videotape began to capture other customers making their purchases, nothing out of the ordinary for Stop 'N Shop late on a weekend evening. Carey M glanced over at Sunil Patel; he didn't understand what was going on; he didn't see what Sunil appeared to see, what it was that his manager felt would definitely help to find the guy who was abducted.

Sunil tapped on the mouse a few times.

"While you were still up here in the office last night assisted the officer to obtain the copy of the parking lot surveillance that he had requested, I decided to go and take a look at some of the videotape footage from last Saturday night from inside of the store."

Bells were starting to go off inside of Carey M's brain.

"So, you're saying that these shots of the guys from inside the store will help to I.D. the suspects? And this video is better than the really dark one from outside?" Carey M asked.

"Yes Carey, just wait. You will see something very interesting in a moment," Sunil said.

Carey M watched the figures on the screen growing larger. Sunil used a zooming function to slowly provide a close-up of the lone person who was being still as his friends moved about wildly. As the still figure gradually came into better and better focus, Carey M couldn't believe his eyes! Sunil kept increasing the zoom. First the head and torso, then the chest, then the arms.

And there it was!

The arms!

The tattoo.

Fire.

Tommy McKeon!

Carey M was seeing a close up of the fire tattoo emblazoned on the arms of the police officer who he had spent the earlier part of his work shift with inside the office at the back of the store. The same guy who Carey M had let copy the surveillance videotape from the parking lot. The same guy who Carey M was in the process of blowing, only to be interrupted by the call from downstairs telling him that his brother Jeremy was in the market.

Officer Tommy McKeon of the New Haven Police Department!

Even though he was not wearing his police uniform, the likeness was unmistakable. The top of his head with thinning brown hair. The perfect Gallic face. The chest and arms that could probably lift a Volkswagen over his head. And the tattoos of fire, starting at his shoulders and licking at his elbows.

Holy fucking shit! Officer Tommy McKeon was a part of the gang that beat the shit out of that poor college kid. And Officer Tommy McKeon was just in the market trying to get a copy of the parking lot videotape. The same videotape that would place him in the gang of bad guys who kidnapped somebody. No wonder Tommy wanted to remove the tape from the Stop 'N Shop completely. He was covering himself up.

"While you were upstairs in the office with that policeman, I did a little work on the store computer down in our Customer Service area. I thought I recognized his face," Sunil explained sheepishly.

"Holy crap!" Carey M said out loud. And I sucked his dick!

"So this is why I am certain we can help that young boy from the Oregon college out," Sunil said. "We simply have to turn this tape over to the New Haven police department, and they will find that the crime was carried out by one of their own. In the morning, after you and I are completed from our shift, we will go down to the station house together."

"Wow! Sunil, this is amazing! We can really help out here! This is a great bit of work you did!"

"Well...it was really nothing. Just in a days work as a store manager for this fine company."

"Still," Carey M said. "This is so cool. Just like on Hawaii-Five-O or something."

"What?"

"Never mind," Carey M said. Obviously, his manager did not share his passion for the tropical crime drama. Or for Dan-o.

"I have already informed the corporate office that we are in possession of this second tape. I am expected to participate on a conference call shortly after our shift ends this morning. So if you have time, I would appreciate your help Carey," Sunil began. "We should apprise the other detectives at the New Haven police department of this second recording. I'm sure they would like to see it."

"Oh man, yeah," Carey M said, excitedly. Despite his life-long love of any kind of man in uniform, he had never been so closely involved in a crime, certainly not in helping to solve one. By Carey M's reasoning, just blowing a cop was cool, but it didn't really make the community a better place to live.

Carey M would love to help.

"Well, then it's settled then," Sunil said. "While I participate in this call, you will take the disk containing the surveillance video down to the police station."

"Great!" Carey M said. He was practically jumping out of his skin he was so stoked to be doing this.

"But you must remember to be careful, young man," Sunil advised. "We don't know exactly how they will react to being told that a member of the force appears to be involved in the disappearance of this unfortunate young man."

That was sobering.

Fuck! What if they were all in on it? Carey M would have to play his cards very carefully. He would have to size up the men (or maybe women) at the station using all of his powers of judgment.

That should pose no problem at all, Carey M reasoned. Sizing men up was one of his strongest qualities. He smiled to himself. Piece of cake.

Unless of course the officer behind that he had to speak with was a woman.

Then he was screwed.

Then Carey remembered his friend from the gym. Brian something. He taught classes at the health club Carey M went to. And he was freaking hot. Not as hot as Tommy McKeon maybe, but still. He went upstairs to punch out.

**

It had been quite a shift at the market and Carey M was confused. After signing off to the day team on Sunday morning, he walked to his car. He got in and closed the door. He needed time to think.

First, Carey M meets a cop from the New Haven. Who says he is investigating the disappearance of the kid who got beat up outside the store last Saturday night. It started out simple enough. Officer Tommy McKeon wants to see the surveillance tape. But then the guy has to take the tape back to the station and doesn't want any copies left behind at the store. Second, Carey M's manager, Sunil, becomes suspicious and leaves Carey M behind with the guy in the back office while Sunil boots up a different computer down in Customer Service. Then, when Carey M's brother Jeremy shows up unexpectedly, he and Officer McKeon finish up in the back office and the cop has what he wanted. But McKeon doesn't join Carey M to meet his brother; instead he bolts. Minutes later, they see the policeman in the parking lot outside involved in a heated discussion with some guy from Boston. And it turns out that the guy from Boston and his brother Jeremy know some of the same people. Weird. Finally, as their shift is coming to a close, Sunil informs Carey M that he recognized the cop on the surveillance tape downstairs in Customer Service; they view it together and fucking A! That's Tommy McKeon right in the middle of the group of guys who were just about to beat up that kid.

No wonder Tommy wanted the hard drive scrubbed clean. College kid comes into Stop 'N Shop, gets fag bashed, then disappears. And the tape would point directly to member of New Havens finest!

Holy crap!

So who was the guy that Tommy McKeon was arguing with outside the store? The guy from Boston? It seemed like the two of them knew each other pretty well.

Sunil said that he was going to drive over to the Police station with the other copy of the surveillance tape from Last Saturday night. But Carey M wondered if there wasn't more to it. Could that guy from up in Boston be involved too? That guy that his brother Jeremy seemed to be connected to?

There was only one way to find out. Carey M dialed his brother's cell phone.

**

The phone rang three times before anybody even heard it.

Jeremy M was sound asleep. He was sore everywhere. His legs, his feet, his butt. Even his cock ached from all he had put it through yesterday.

He yawned and reached across Paolo.

Paolo was laying on his back with a hard-on. He had cast the blanket aside and the sheet was tangled around one leg. The other leg and his dick were exposed. Jeremy M wanted to grab Paolo's cock instead of the phone. But he was a college TA now. With responsibilities. He glanced quickly at the name on the screen.

It was his brother.

Jeremy M answered before the end of the fourth ring, never taking his eyes off of the wiener laying there like a salami on Paolo's thigh.

"Hullo?" Jeremy M said into the phone, his voice cracking.

"Uh, hi Jeremy, this is Carey."

Jeremy M smiled. Of course it was Carey.

"Uh, sorry if I am calling pretty early," Carey M said.

Jeremy M lay back onto his back and switched the phone to his left ear in his left hand. His right hand he placed, as best he could, around the thickest part of Paolo's penis. He didn't make it all the way. Paolo noticed and moaned softly.

"No problem, I'm just kind of laying around," Jeremy M said into the phone.

Carey M laughed. "I'll bet," he said.

Jeremy M laughed too. As he adjusted the phone against his ear, he considered hopping aboard Paolo's dick and talking to his brother while he fucked the Brazilian again. Paolo sensed exactly what Jeremy M was thinking and held his cock straight up. For easier mounting.

Jeremy M smiled but stayed put beside him.

"So I need your help bro," Carey M. "You remember that cop you met last night?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, we've got some footage of him from inside the store," Carey M explained.

"Okay, so?"

"Well, he was right in the middle of that gang of guys from last Saturday night. He was one of the guys who were involved with that guy who was abducted."

"Holy shit!" Jeremy M said. No wonder the cop was acting so weird when they met him outside.

Jeremy M was gently stroking Paolo's cock as he talked to his brother. Paolo had his elbows behind his head, enjoying the attention.

"So to make things worse, when I was upstairs with the guy, just when you and your friend Paolo showed up, I had been helping him to get a copy of the video file from outside. He thought that was the only video we had, and he insisted on taking all copies of it over to the precinct station in New Haven. What the cop doesn't know is that we also have this other one. From another vantage point inside the store. That's the one that he shows up in. That's the one that puts the cop on the scene the night the college kid disappeared."

Jeremy stopped jacking Paolo's cock and sat up, his brain working quickly. Paolo frowned.

"So if the cop wanted to take all copies of the video away from the market, clearly he's covering up. He must be guilty of something," Jeremy M said excitedly.

"Exactly," Carey M said.

"Maybe he even knows where the kid is," Jeremy M said.

"Exactly," Carey M said. "In fact, maybe that's why we saw that weird thing between the cop and the dude from Boston in the market parking lot last night!"

"Hmm, that could be. That guy who knows one of my Freshmen students. Whoa!"

"That's why I called you," Carey M said. "I need your help. This whole thing has gotten complicated."

"You need my help? What the heck can I do?"

"Go with me to the police. Please!"

"Fuck, Carey! This sounds kind of dangerous. What if the all the cops are dirty? This is way over our heads."

"I know a guy," Carey M responded. "One of the instructors at my gym is also a cop. I can talk to him."

"Really, a cop who teaches at a club? Never heard of such a thing."

"He's pretty fucking cute too," Carey M said.

"I'm in," Jeremy M said.

Jeremy M hopped out of bed, his semi-boner bouncing against his lower abdomen.

"Cool, thanks bro. I'll come by and pick you up at Paolo's."

Jeremy M looked down at himself. He was nearly hard. He was coated in cum. And the guy in the bed had just repeatedly plowed his butt. He needed a shower, and he would have to be quick about it. He looked over at Paolo, who was now using his own hands to masturbate himself.

Paolo smiled. "Go," he said.

"This is to be continued," Jeremy M said as he jogged off to the bathroom.

**

Brian's arm was draped across my chest. He lay on his front side, I was on my back. While he slept, I had been staring at his very well defined back muscles for at least twenty minutes. For a guy who spent most of his time in a police uniform, he was surprisingly tan. Or was that just good genes? His skin was soft too, as if he'd been scrubbing it regularly. He even smelled good.

Man! Some guys had it all!

While I pondered the unfairness of my own genetic background, I was also deciding what to do about Brian's arm.

Half of me was trying to decide how to extricate myself from beneath his arm, the other half of me was not interested in moving at all. Right now, the half that was happy staying put was winning the battle. Plus I was trying to figure out if I could ever have back muscles like Brian.

Probably not.

Under the covers, I shifted my legs a little. Brian's body noticed and he stirred. His eyes opened.

I smiled at him.

"Hi," Brian said.

He kissed my nipple.

"Hi," I said back.

My nipple reacted by tenting up a tiny bit. Brian took a nibble. He tensed his arms in a half yawn.

"What time is it?" he asked.

I couldn't see the clock. "I have no idea," I said.

He twisted in the bed and reached across me, trying to grab hold of my cell phone on the nightstand. It was only quarter to eight, he announced.

Too early for a Sunday morning, we silently agreed.

Brian took my cell phone and rubbed the face of it across my chest. The cool glass against my skin was electrifying. My cock, pretty much spent from the events of the prior evening, dug deep and sprung to life.

The crook of Brian's arm rested lightly across the top of my dick head. The movement of my cock was noted. Brian grinned.

"Well good morning to you too," he said, lightly skating my phone across my torso in a figure eight.

He moved his mouth down to my dick and let it flop against his tongue.

"Uh," I started to say something, then decided against it. Let it happen, I told myself.

"Morning wood," Brian said, as he slobbered up and down the shaft of my wiener. "Very nice."

"Thanks," I laughed. I writhed on the bed as the top of my cock found Brian's throat.

For the next five minutes, Brian sucked my dick. I could easily have cum in his mouth, but part of me was holding off. I really had to pee, and I wasn't sure it was safe for me to just let go.

"Fuck! For a straight guy, you're pretty good at this," I said. It was true, he was.

"Who says I'm a straight guy?"

"You're a cop, right? Aren't all cops straight?"

Brian let my dick out of his mouth with a pop, but continued to jack me off with a hand. He looked up at me, his eyes serious.

"Does this look like something that a straight cop would do?" he asked.

"I don't know," I said. "Just keep doing it."

"Yes sir," Brian said. "Anything you say, sir."

"Good," I said.

For five more minutes, Brian edged me to the brink of orgasm and then brought me back gently. He licked my dick like a pro. Straight cop or not, I was impressed. I'd have to remember some of these moves.

"So how big is it anyway?" Brian asked.

"How big is what?"

Brian looked up at me again. "This," he said, holding my hard-on up for me to see it.

"Oh that, well, I don't really know actually," I lied.

He smiled.

"You're kidding me? Everyone knows how big their dick is."

I shrugged and looked away.

"Well let me see," Brian said, sitting up. He put his foot up against my cock. His foot was clearly longer.

"Okay so it's not as long as a foot."

I laughed out loud.

"That's impossible. Nobody's penis is as long as their foot," I said.

"Well, I thought you'd be pretty close," Brian said.

Since we were practically in a 69 position already, I took hold of Brian's foot and stuck his big toe into my mouth. He went back to stroking and licking my dick. I went back to moaning, on the verge of shooting my load into his mouth.

Brian let me do whatever I wanted to with his toes. They were nice and tasted more like the sheets from the bed than like shoes. He seemed to like it, so started to use my teeth as well.

"Don't!" he cried out suddenly. "That fucking tickles!"

I ignored him and grabbed his foot again. He moaned softly.

In response, Brian picked up the pace on my cock. I moaned loudly.

"You know you're gonna make me cum," I yelped, when I was absolutely sure it was just about to happen.

"Good," Brian said, before burying his head more deeply in my crotch. Brian's right hand and his entire mouth had my dick completely under his control. Brian's left hand jerked his one dick. While I slurped his foot, I looked at his cock. It was very possible that his own foot would give his cock a run for its money.

When I came, Brian never pulled away. I could feel him swallowing and sucking more out at the same time. I reached a hand over to take hold of Brian's rigid dick, but he had the situation fully in hand. He shot a load that made an arc high over the bed before landing with a splat on the lower part of my chest.

"Ahh," Brian said, with most of my dick still inside his mouth.

"Fucking ahh is right," I agreed. I flexed up and managed to get my lips around the top of Brian's dick. I milked the shaft with my hands and was rewarded with a tiny bit more of his juice.

"Ahh," Brian said louder. "Quit it! Not fair! It's too sensitive!"

"Yes sir," I said. But I gave him one final lick as I pulled my tongue away.

"Ahh, shit!" Brian squealed.

My cell phone rang. We glanced at one another, very happy for the timing.

"Hello?" I answered.

"TJ, it's Max."

He sounded out of breath.

"Max, what the heck? Where are you buddy? I was so worried."

"I have good news, you are down sitting, yes?" Max said. I could hear the strain in his voice. Of course I was sitting down. It was early on a Sunday morning.

"What is it Max? Did you get laid?"

"Yes, my good friend. I mean, no. I did not find love. Sadly. But I found something better."

"What could better than that for you Max?" I asked him.

"It is better. Much, much better. I found Danny!" I have him with me now!"

**

The first thing he noticed when he woke up was the sound of cars. Honking.

Danny Leeman blinked his eyes open. He had a whopping headache.

He heard a bird.

Despite his head, he smiled. He hadn't heard a bird in over a week. The side of his head felt funny. He reached up to touch it, his fingertips pressing lightly against his temple. It was crusted over, and very tender.

"Yow," he said quietly to himself. There didn't appear to be anybody else in the room other than him.

When he had finished examining himself with his fingertips, he raised the hand in front of his face. His hand! He could move his hand! He wasn't handcuffed!

He raised his head up.

"Yow!" this time out loud. Everything above his neck ached.

"Oh hello there," a voice behind him said.

Danny twisted his neck to see who had spoken to him. The effort to turn his neck caused him enormous pain and he howled. Danny put his hand back onto his forehead, closed his eyes and fell back against the pillow on the couch.

"Take it easy, Danny Leeman," the voice said. "You will be okay, I have evaluated your condition and it is not serious."

"What? What do you mean? It's not serious?! It feels like the whole fucking side of my head got kicked in!"

"It did not get kicked in," the voice responded. "It is not kicked in, in other words."

"What?" Danny tried to turn again. He winced in pain.

Max stood up and came to stand directly in front of Danny.

Danny squinted and looked Max up and down.

"Who? Who are you? Where's the guy with the tattoos?"

"My name is Max," Max replied. "I have secured your rescue. You are safe with me."

"Max? Rescue? What the hell are you talking about?"

"You are rescued. I mean to say, 'I rescued you.'"

"You did?"

"Yes Danny, you are safe now. Here with me."

Danny tried to shake his head, to get the cobwebs out. But doing so only made everything worse and he shrieked in pain again.

"But how could I be safe? Who are you? Where are the police? Where is my family?"

"Danny, I just said. I am Max. I saw a man walking with you in a parking lot. The man had placed a dark clothing over your head and he was moving your location. I intervened and you were rescued. Saved."

"Um, well good, thank you. But I still don't understand. You intervened? What does that mean? Are you a cop?"

"No Danny, I am not a member of the police. I go to school up in Boston, at MIT. I traveled to New Haven with my good friend TJ. He is very worried about you. He came here to try and find you out. But I find you out instead."

"What? Hold it! You know TJ? From Boston? He's here?"

"Yes, we will call him shortly. TJ is at a hotel. So is your brother David. They are both here in the city of New Haven," Max said.

Tears streamed from Danny's eyes at the mention of his brother's name. David and everyone else in the family had to worried to death about him.

"You mean? They are here? But how did you save me? The man with the tattoos was taking me outside. And then I don't remember anything after that."

"There was an altercation, a fight. And I prevailed. I took down the man and you got a little bit injured during the tussle," Max explained.

A tiny memory trace flashed across Danny's mind. The last time he had been handcuffed head and toe he remembered that the man, his captor, was talking with somebody outside of Danny's door. Danny wondered if the man standing in front of him now was that somebody.

Danny touched the side of his head lightly again.

"Are you a doctor or something? How do you know I am all right?" Danny asked.

Max chuckled.

"No Danny, I am not a doctor. I am a Freshmen at MIT. Physics major. I don't care very much for people with blood."

"People with blood? Don't all..."

"No, I mean people with blood on them. Like you have. On the side of your head. I tried to clean it up a little. But there is still some blood there, as you can tell," Max said patiently.

Very carefully, Danny rotated his neck from side to side. He winced in pain several times as his head turned very slowly.

"If you kicked the shit out of the guy with the tattoos, how come I seem to be the only one who got hurt?" Danny asked.

"You should have seen the other guy," Max answered with a laugh.

Danny suppressed a smile.

"Um, so where are we?"

"This is my hotel room," Max said. "I brought you here to clean you up after the rumble in the parking lot. And then you fell asleep."

"I fell asleep? Sounds like I was pretty much knocked out during the, the rumble."

"Well yes. And no. You did not sleep until you arrived with me here at this hotel room," Max said.

"And you are going to take me to see my brother?" Danny asked. "And TJ?"

"Yes Danny. We will go see them soon. I know the way, it is within walking distance to the hotel where I booked for TJ."

"What? You booked for TJ? I don't understand," Danny said, truly not getting it.

"Let's talk about all of this later, my friend. Let's get you all cleaned up and presentable first."

"Presentable?"

"My shower. You can take a shower. It's in there." Max pointed to the hotel bathroom.

"We're in a hotel? In New Haven? Which one?" Danny asked.

"This is the Courtyard. It is part of the large national hotel chain from the Marriott company," Max said.

"Courtyard? I think I remember that one," Danny said. "Before I got taken, I mean."

"Yes, very unfortunate," Max agreed, trying to look sad.

"So do I just go take a shower?"

"Yes," Max answered.

Danny stood up slowly. He put both of his hands on his head as he did.

"Of course, if you require assistance, I am available to help."

For the first time since he'd woken up, he looked carefully at Max. The guy wasn't bad looking actually. Probably Indian or Pakistani, dark hair pushed off to one side. Decent body.

If Danny's head felt just a little bit better, he might even consider taking the guy up on his offer of the shower.

"I think I'm good," Danny said. He shuffled his feet into the bathroom. The bright light was overwhelming and he yelped in pain again.

After a minute to allow his eyes to adjust, Danny pushed back the shower curtain and turned on the water. He took off his shirt and examined himself in the mirror. He seemed to be intact. His wrists had bruises though from where he had been shackled.

Could this whole nightmare finally be over? He thought of David and his family. He thought of TJ. How much time had passed? And what the fuck happened to the guy with the tattoos? As the warm water began to steam up the bathroom, his reflection gradually faded. It was fine though, he didn't need to see himself crying yet again.

Max picked up his cell phone and dialed the familiar number. This was the call he had been dying to make for so long.

And despite everything that had happened, Max was actually making it. His plan might work after all. He waited for TJ to pick up.

Then Max spoke into the phone. He too was crying.
 
WOW! All is getting more interesting, and interestinger! :=D: ..|

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see how all this is going to turn out! (*S*)

Thank You for this story, Spike, Buddy! (group)

MORE, Please! :gogirl:

Keep Smilin'!! :kiss: (*8*)
Chaz :luv:
 
Another exciting chapter, Spike. Finally Danny is safe, at least from Tommy, but Max isn't to popular right now either. When all this is played out with the second tape, Max's plan is going to fizzle. Now, if T.J. and his 8 1/4 dick weren't in such demand, all this wouldn't have happened. But, if that were the case we also wouldn't have an exiting story about our guys from Apple Valley. There's still so much to hear and I can hardly wait for each piece to fit together. Praise be, Danny is safe....

The Final Chapter


I hung up the phone and looked over at Brian, still lying naked on the bed.

He had heard my half of the conversation and was propped on both elbows looking at me expectantly. He seemed like he was understanding my side of the conversation, but he couldn't be certain.

Despite my focus on Danny, I couldn't help but notice that Brian's triceps looked as if a sculptor had carved them, a really, really good sculptor.

"Max found him!" I screamed. I'm not sure I could even believe the words that came out of my mouth. I was so fucking excited that I could have fallen in love with Brian and moved to New Haven. Screw BU, I could have a career as Brian's permanent sex slave.

Actually maybe I could do both.

I was almost too breathless to talk. When I hung up the phone with Max, I was on Cloud Nine! Danny was alive! And, despite everything that he had just gone through, he was going to be reunited with all of us really soon!

Somehow I couldn't remember any of the details of what Max had just told me. But I did remember that Max said that he and Danny would meet us at the police station. Max said that Danny was showering and that he would bring Danny over as soon as he was cleaned up.

Obviously, Brian was happy Danny had been found. He gave me a huge hug, during which time I was in direct contact with his penis.

No time for that now.

He let me go a little more quickly than I liked, but Brian had a few questions. In fact, he was being a little bit of a buzz kill. Everything he asked me, I couldn't answer.

"I'm sorry, I don't think he said that."

"Nope, he didn't mention."

"Nope, nothing on that either."

"Sorry, I forgot to ask."

"I know, I know, I should have, but..."

David. I had to call David. Oh Jesus!

Brian kept firing questions away at me as my fingers stumbled over the little buttons on my phone trying to dial Danny's brother David: the evidence, the forensics, the fact that we needed to get Danny examined by a doctor right away.

Apparently I would make a lousy detective.

Brian was still peppering away at me when I was saved by David's voice answering the phone.

"We've got him," I said, my voice cracking.

"What?"

"Danny," I explained. "He's been found. He's okay."

David went absolutely ape-shit nuts! I repeated what little bit I knew from the call with Max.

Just like with Brian, David had a lot of questions too. And, just like with Brian, I couldn't answer those either.

While I was busy sobbing on the phone along with David, Brian had already sprung into action. He gave my dick a squeeze as he loped past me and into the bathroom. He heard a very determined police-like look on his face.

I heard the shower water turn on.

David agreed to meet us at the police station and I hung up quickly. Danny or no Danny, there was no way that I was going to miss out on a chance to shower with a cop! My cop!

Brian had shampoo on his hair when I hopped inside. His eyes were closed and he startled when I brushed his butt with my hand.

"What?" he said, his voice low, his mood all business, already in police mode.

I hugged him from behind. His very, very, very firm ass cheeks kept me from snuggling in as close as I might have liked. The warm water from the shower splashed off the top of his head and the soap got into my eyes. I loved that I could hug him like this.

I was just so excited that we were getting Danny back!

It didn't seem like the right moment to have sex, so despite the fact that my dick had its own ideas, I kept my hands an inch or so away from Brian's man-parts, which was not easy to do considering how ginormous these particular man-parts were.

"TJ, we don't have time. We really need to hurry, give me a little space here please. I don't have a uniform here, and I should really be properly dressed when we get to the station. This is my case," he said.

"Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to..." I said. I backed away.

It stung a little bit to have to be asked to step back.

"It's fine," Brian "It's just that... Well, you know, it would look funny, if I showed up at the station, with wet hair and in civvies, along side of the guy I just sucked off. Whose hair just happens to also be wet."

Despite myself, I smiled. I liked the fact that Brian was saying out loud what he had just done to me. He sucked me off. I liked the sound of that.

"Right," I said.

He nodded his head for emphasis.

"I can see how that might look. Everybody would put two and two together immediately, " I joked.

Brian finished washing the shampoo out of his hair. He rubbed his eyes and turned around in the shower to face me. I was standing there, a little cold, with my arms crossed in front of my chest, my hard-on dangling at that halfway angle, somewhere between 'super excited' and 'what exactly have we got here?'

I tried not to look ridiculous, but very likely, I was probably failing.

He grinned.

"You're pretty cute when you're pouting, you know," Brian said.

"I'm not pouting," I pouted.

Then I rolled my eyes. "Thanks. That's exactly what I needed to hear," I said.

"Sure, anytime."

He took hold of both my shoulders and drew me in. His mouth wrapped around mine and he kissed me. After about ten seconds, my hard-on went back to being 'super excited.'

We both looked down at it.

"Didn't I just take care of that?" Brian asked.

I smirked and shrugged at the same time.

"It wants more, I guess."

"Well, maybe tomorrow, after we get Danny back to his own life," Brian said.

I pursed my lips into another pout.

Tomorrow I had to go back to school. I had a mid-term later this week. God knows I hadn't been able to get much studying done the past few days.

"Yeah," I said, not feeling like explaining the truth this very second.

Brian washed my hair for me. And then he washed my butt. Both needed a pretty good scrub, and he seemed happy to oblige.

I smiled as Brian's fingers flicked up and down at my butthole.

The guy either has way more experience at this than he was letting on, or he is a super quick learner!

My dick was hard, with all the attention my ass was getting of course, and it got in the way a few times. But, since we were supposed to be thinking about Danny, we both managed to keep focused and not have sex. It wasn't easy though.

Once we were clean and Brian turned off the water, he started with the questions again. And I had no answers to any of his questions again.

I just looked at him with an empty stare.

He popped out of the shower and dried himself off with like three swipes of the towel. I took a little longer since my dick was still doing its super excited thing, and I tried not to bat it around too much.

Brian noticed how I was trying to avoid my boner and he shot me a smile.

Five minutes later my dick had finally calmed down.

Now with nothing more to get in my way I could get dressed. Seconds later, we were both dressed and we headed down to Brian's car.

Danny's twin brother David was standing in the lobby bouncing back on forth on his feet when we arrived. He had tears rolling down his face but he was smiling as big as I'd ever seen him before.

He hugged both of us at the same time.

"Okay, come on, let's go then," David said. He bounced some more. Then I started to bounce too, it was contagious. We should really get going.

The three of us jogged out of the hotel and over to where Brian's car was parked.

**

Brian drove us into the New Haven Police Department parking lot and parked quickly. David and I leaped from the car before even Brian turned it off. We raced to the front of the building.

We hadn't agreed on exactly where we should meet Max and Danny. I thought of like a million things I wanted to say to Danny and another million questions I wanted to ask.

Once David and I rounded the corner, my heart practically stopped.

There they were.

Max was standing with one foot on the side of the brick building. Danny was seated with his knees up, leaning back. He looked like he was just enjoying the sunshine.

"Danny!" David and I screamed at the same time.

The two of us ignored Max and piled onto Danny, each of us over one leg. Between us, we totally knocked him down to the ground.

It just felt so fucking good to have him back! I don't think any of us spoke for a while. Between the tears and the laughing and the hugging and Danny ouching about something on the side of his head, I have no idea how long we were down there.

David and me never saw Brian walk up.

"Hi, you must be Max," Brian said, his voice in that husky low tone.

Max nodded.

For the first time in a while, at least since before last night when Brian was ravaging my butt, my brain registered that Brian really was a cop. Even out of uniform, you could tell he was police from head to toe. I was proud of him.

David and I lifted Danny up by his arms so we could give him a proper hug.

"Man, I'm so happy to see you amigos," Danny said. It was the first thing that came out of his mouth. His voice was cracking.

"Me too," I sputtered.

David was crying too much to talk.

I looked over at Max. He was just standing there, staring at the three of us and grinning. Brian was beside him watching the whole scene. I could tell he was happy we had found Danny, but his lips were tightened. It seemed like he wanted us to all move inside.

I broke away from the group hug and stood back so that the Leeman twins could be together.

"I'm Officer Brian Ruggazione," Brian said to Max as he placed his hand on Max's upper arm.

Max had sort of a worried look on his face.

"I'm going to take Max inside. I need to ask him a few questions," Brian said. "Please bring Danny in as well. We will need to get him examined by a doctor over at the hospital."

I don't remember very much about the next few hours other than the smell of Band-Aids inside of Yale-New Haven Hospital.

A different police officer accompanied us and never left Danny's side. And that turned out to be a good thing, because at least we knew Danny was safe. Plus he kept us updated with a continuous stream of talking on what exactly they were doing with Danny.

David thought the guy was cute, but I hardly noticed. He might have been cute, but my sore butt was a constant reminder that I'd had enough cops for one weekend.

Apparently, Danny had a little cut on the side of his head that needed stitches. And because of the head injury, the hospital felt obligated to give him all sorts of scans of his head and like twelve doctors examined him.

David and I waited in the lobby, and then in the little curtained-off cubicle they stuck him in, then outside Radiology, and then back in the cubicle.

We decided that we were starving to death. Seems I hadn't eaten since dinner Saturday night. All the exercise with Brian overnight had really burned some calories too. Desperate for anything, David and I finally grabbed some food out of the vending machine in the Emergency Department. I had a blueberry yogurt and Fritos while David opted for jalapeno cheeseburger and Fritos too. I stuck my tongue out when I realized what David had chosen; a vending machine cheeseburger, with jalapenos? OMG! David ignored the faces I was making and ate it cold in like five bites; my stomach did flips as I watched.

After we were back among the living, we went back to Danny. We watched as one of the nurses gave Danny a shot with an enormous needle. Ever the brave little soldier, Danny took it like a man, with a nod to the length of the needle, the meaning of which was not lost on either his brother or me.

About then, Danny's parents showed up from New York and the hugging and crying started up again. I felt a little bit like a third wheel, but I stuck around all the same.

Eventually, the hospital people said that we were free to take off if we'd like because Brian and some other detectives from the police station wanted to interview Danny some more about what had happened to him.

Since David and I were not allowed inside the room while the detectives were talking to him, and we were tired of loitering in hallways, we needed to find a spot to hang out. Fortunately, the hospital seemed to have all sorts of little rooms for us to use in privacy; it allowed us to talk and make phone calls, away from the noisy din of the hospital.

The Leeman parents went off to make some phone calls outside.

After a bit, Brian came out of Danny's interview room to talk. It was very nice of him to keep us updated. It was likely, he explained, that Danny would get out of the hospital in a day or so. Danny couldn't leave the city however; they wanted him to stay in New Haven for a couple days so that the police could get everything they needed. Obviously, everyone still wanted to catch the guy or guys that took Danny. They had some decent ideas, but there wasn't anybody in custody yet.

Brian's face was funny when he said this; it seemed to me that Brian was holding something back however. Even though I'd only known the guy for a week, I felt certain he was hiding something. He left to go back to questioning Danny. David and I shot each other a look.

A few minutes later, when David excused himself to go use the bathroom (most likely a direct result of the vending machine cheeseburger from the ER waiting room), I heard a light knock at the door.

I opened it to find Max standing there. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard.

"Hi TJ," he said.

Max looked a mess. There were bags underneath his red eyes, his hair was pretty messed up, and he smelled suspiciously like onion kulcha. Only a mother could love him!

I let him in and closed the door.

I hugged him tightly. Just seeing him, and knowing how important he had been in bringing Danny back to us brought tears to my eyes. As I hung my head against his neck, I wept onto his back.

"Thank you so much Max," I said. "You're amazing! I'm so glad you were there to help find Danny! This means so much to me!"

"This is not a large problem," Max said. "I was just very lucky to be in the right time at the right place."

I stopped crying and raised my face to look directly at Max. He could be so cute when he butchered the language.

"Still, Max, what incredible luck! Who would have thought that you'd belt the guy who did this to Danny?" I squealed. "You're a freaking hero Max!"

Max averted his eyes, a rare moment of humility.

"Really Max," I insisted. "You fucking saved Danny's life. Who know what would have happened to him if you hadn't intervened and whacked that dude that had him!"

"It wasn't nothing," Max said lightly. "Nothing."

I smiled. The poor kid would never learn our language. I was so proud of my friend. Bringing him to New Haven had been complicated of course, but obviously it turned out to be a really lucky decision.

"Max, come on! You found Danny! You brought him back to us!"

Finally, he nodded.

I drew Max's head toward mine and kissed him squarely on the lips. Not something I had planned, but... Caught up in the moment, I guess!

"I love..." I began, not really knowing how I was going to finish the sentence. But some part of me had no idea what came next, so I couldn't go on.

Max turned red and moved in closer. He grabbed the back of my head and pushed our mouths together again. I was taken by surprise and tried to resist. For his part, Max wasn't interested in a friendly kiss of happiness from me. Max spread his lips apart, forced mine open with his tongue and dove inside of me.

I tried to pull away but Max prevented it. Max was kissing me passionately.

"Oh TJ," he moaned, "I have waited so long to hear you say that."

I put both my hands on his shoulders and pushed Max away from me.

"What are you talking about? I wasn't going to say 'I love you' Max! I was going to say that I love that you came to New Haven with me. I love that you were there to help find Danny. I love that you brought him back to us!"

His face sank.

"You mean, you don't love me?" Max asked sheepishly.

This was so exasperating!

"No Max, I don't love you," I said. "Not like that anyway. We're close friends Max. Really close. And I love that we are!"

"But..."

"But nothing. It's just not that kind of love Max."

Max turned away; he couldn't look me in the eye.

"Max?" I reached out and timidly placed a hand on top of his head. Max didn't like me touching him right now; he shook his head, and my hand fell off.

Oh my god! This guy was such a little softie. It probably hurt him a lot to finally hear those words from my mouth.

He turned back and looked at me. All of a sudden, he seemed very serious. He took a deep breath.

"Can we just have sex TJ? It would be all right since you love our friendship, yes?" Max begged.

"Max! What? Why? What are you talking about? I just told you that I'm not in love with you. Yes I love our friendship. But that's it! It's a friendship, only that. We're not fuck buddies. Our relationship is not like that!"

"But!"

"It never will be like that Max! You are my friend!" I was practically shouting now.

Both of us looked toward the door. I hoped that nobody outside the room could hear us.

"I just thought," Max slumped down in a chair and blew air out of his cheeks.

"What? You just thought what Max?"

"I just thought that if I found Danny, then you would..."

"What are you talking about? If you found Danny? What do you mean?"

"I said it wrong," Max said, looking directly at me again. "I said it wrong. I mean, that since I found Danny, then maybe..."

"You're kidding me?! You think that since you found Danny and beat that other guy up that I would have sex with you?"

Max nodded.

"That's fucking nuts!" I shouted.

"So there is no reward? For all the work that I did to find Danny?" Max asked me.

"No Max, there is no reward like that. Not sex with me! Not sex with anybody! It's not like you planned on finding Danny or anything and it just happened to work out like that!"

There was silence as Max slowly realized that what I was saying was true. During that silence, I started to make my own connections.

When I first told Max about Danny being missing up in Boston, he seemed to know more about the situation than I would have thought. He was awfully eager to come down here and help me find Danny. And then yesterday, when David and I spent the day with Brian, tooling around New Haven looking for clues, where the fuck was Max then? All day, where the fuck was Max? And then Max just happens to be in the parking lot of a condo complex and sees Danny being hauled out with his head covered? And little Max beats the shit out of some big bad guy and rescues Danny?

And for doing so, Max wants a reward? The reward of having sex with me?

Oh my god, nobody could dream up such a ridiculous scheme!

Or could somebody?

The door opened again and David walked back inside. He looked significantly less green than the last time he'd been in here with me.

"They're letting Danny out soon!" David announced.

"Yay!" I yelled.

"Hi Max," David said.

"Hi David!"

"Thank you so much for rescuing my brother!" David added, pulling Max into a bear hug.

While I watched the two of them embracing, Max caught my eye. Inside my head, the wheels were turning.

**

Carey M and Jeremy M stood nervously at the reception desk of the New Haven Police Department. In a backpack, Carey M had secured away the memory stick containing the videotape from Stop 'N Shop. He and his brother Jeremy had agreed that they would insist on seeing a supervisor. They were not about to just hand it over to the first person at the station that they came across, like the receptionist standing right in front of them.

"This stick has some critical evidence that I am sure will help you to find that kid who was kidnapped last weekend," Carey M insisted.

The receptionist was named Bernice. She was an African American woman in her mid-forties, with a Carmen Miranda-like nest of curly blond hair on her head, arched an eyebrow and looked doubtfully at the two young men across the desk from her.

The reception desk at the New Haven Police Department was her personal fiefdom, and nobody passed through unless Bernice said so. Turning away drunks, petty criminals, housewives complaining about their spouse, and even the lonely souls who were just looking to talk with somebody for a little while, Bernice considered those tasks to be her calling. It was a job that needed doing, a vital service to the busy public servants behind the steel doors behind her, and it was a job Bernice did well.

Claiming to have evidence in a crime was a common way that the public used to gain access through those steel doors. Bernice called those doors her own 'pearly gates,' and she treated them with reverence. Sometimes, when the circumstances were just right, Bernice did allow people to walk through those doors, but usually she did not. Those Bernice turned away would have to skedaddle, and quick!

The two young men before her looked a little suspect. Both were young and pretty good looking, as college kids go nowadays anyway. The taller one, with the backpack that allegedly contained the evidence they were talking about, the evidence in a so-called ongoing investigation, that one was dressed in a collared white shirt that had definitely seen better days; that one had hair all messed up; that one looked to Bernice as if he'd been up all night. On the other hand, the shorter one, the one with short-cut red hair and an earnest but smiling face, was not so messy; Bernice considered him the better looking one of the two, someone she would be happy to have grace her doorstep should one of her daughters have been so inclined to date a white boy; he was a catch.

Bernice hadn't completely figured the two of them out, but she believed that they were probably brothers.

Clearly neither one had showered in a while. As the mother of two girls and four boys, Bernice knew all too well the stench of male sex hormones and the two brothers across her desk were reeking of it.

"So are you guys homeless? Do you have families? Do you have showers?" Bernice asked, arching an eyebrow.

Jeremy M and Carey M blushed. They probably were not their best right now.

"Sorry," Jeremy M managed. "We're not homeless, we're just...not clean. We just thought this was important, no time to clean up."

Bernice looked over the top of here glasses and made a sour face. She sighed heavily and looked down again at her fingernails.

"Well, can you at least tell me why this is so important? Why should I believe you about this memory stick? That it contains evidence of a crime?" Bernice asked, her voice sounding doubtful.

"I can't tell you anything about what's on the stick. I am under strict instructions from my manager to hand this over to a supervisor," Carey M said.

Bernice glared at Carey M as he spoke. Her face gave nothing away.

"I must speak to somebody who is at least the rank of Captain. Or maybe a General."

Bernice peered over the top of her reading glasses, doing her best to suppress a smile. A general? What did this kid think they were running here? This was a police station, not a field operation in Afghanistan.

Jeremy M whacked his brother on the side of his head.

"They don't have generals here bro," Jeremy M said. "Don't you ever watch NCIS? The highest ranking officer is probably like the Chief or something."

Bernice nodded once.

"Right Bernice?"

"Okay, the Chief then," Carey M said, rubbing above his ear where Jeremy had smacked him. "I want to see the Chief of the Department!"

Now Bernice finally chuckled.

"The Chief? Well, why didn't you say that in the first place? It's Sunday morning, and I am sure he is just sitting at his desk with his feet up, waiting for the two of you goofballs to drop in. Let me just ring him right up."

Carey M smiled and folded his hands on the desk. Now they were getting somewhere.

Jeremy M watched his brother and was about to whack him again but Bernice reached up with her heavily over-manicured and bejeweled hand and did it for him. Right on the side of Carey M's head.

"Yow! What'd you do that for? I thought you were gonna call your Chief for us."

Bernice smiled and leaned forward so that her nose was practically touching Carey M's face. A wayward blond curl, from the swirling nest atop her head fell limply onto Carey's forehead. He could smell the baby powder that she had doused herself with earlier that morning.

"Let me tell you something Pumpkin," Bernice whispered sweetly, before backing away and resuming her sour face.

"It will be a very cold day in Hell before I let either one of you two dumb shits through those steel doors behind me and into the sacred confines of the New Haven Police Department to see Chief Castellucio."

Carey M started to protest, but Bernice immediately shushed him with by holding up just one thick gold-tipped finger.

"So hand over this so-called memory stick that contains the so-called evidence that you claim is on there. I will see that it gets delivered to one of our detectives. Otherwise, I suggest that the two of you young virile dumb shits step back from my Reception desk and head right back outside to
whatever white bread blue blood testosterone-fest that you came from. And for mercy's sake, take a SHOWER!"

Bernice then leaned back in her chair and gave them both an affirmatory nod to underline that she meant exactly what she said.

Carey M's widened and his face turned pale. He opened his mouth to say something, but then decided against it.

"Let's just give her the stick," Jeremy M said to his brother.

He backed away from the desk. Clearly the two of them were not going to get what they wanted from the dragon lady. Jeremy M shuddered. Ordinarily he did everything possible to avoid being so close to women. Especially big women like Bernice. The multi-colored rhinestones in her fingernails were creeping him out!

Carey M smirked and took a deep breath. Mr. Patel had clearly instructed him to pass the evidence only to a supervisor. If Officer Tommy McKeon was already involved with the kidnapping, there was no telling how many more cops were too. Carey M considered his options carefully.

Bernice smiled broadly at the two boys standing across from her. Jeremy M was poised to turn and run out the door. Carey M was fidgeting back and forth on his heels, obviously thinking over what he should do.

"Let me help you out with your decision," Bernice suggested, her voice oozing syrupy sarcasm.

Carey M and Jeremy M held their breath.

"Either hand me the stick in the next fifteen seconds, or I'll have one of the fine police officers that I work for come out here and arrest you both for loitering. I've had just about enough of you smelly boys wasting my precious time this fine morning. And stinking up my Reception area. Do it now, or get out!"

"You can't do that," Jeremy M protested. "We're here trying to help in a criminal investigation!"

Bernice was unfazed. She shrugged her shoulders.

"So then help. Turn over what you have right now or I will tell the detectives that you have material evidence in a crime that you refused to surrender. That carries a prison term of up to five years!"

Both brothers turned white.

The idea of any time behind bars, when they were actually at the station trying to do the right thing was hard to believe. Of course, Jeremy M had plenty of prison cell fantasies that he could conjure up. The vision of him wearing a pair of orange coveralls with a Velcro patch over his ass, for example. Maybe a bit of jail time was exactly what he needed! Slowly, the color began to return to his face.

"I don't get why you're being such a bitch!" Carey M said dolefully. He began to rummage through his back pack.

Bernice grinned. Of course, she knew she had no right to threaten these nice boys with jail time, but she enjoyed seeing their faces too much; it was irresistible. And she'd just deny it if either of them ever complained.

Finally Carey M produced the memory stick. He placed it gingerly on the Reception Desk half way between his hand and Bernice's.

All three of them stared at it, as if it would jump up and dance around on its own. Bernice looked over her glasses at Carey M again.

"I can't reach it all the way over there, pumpkin," she said, her voice infused with syrupy sarcasm.

Slowly, reluctantly, Carey M slid the stick eight more inches over to where Bernice's fingers were drumming lightly on the counter. In a flash, Bernice snatched up the stick and was completely through the steel doors before the boys ever realized what was happening.

They stood at the desk dumbstruck. This had not gone off as they had planned.

**

The wait for all this police stuff was beginning to wear on David and I. After the silliness with Max, I needed some fresh air. David and I walked outside the hospital to try and clear our heads. We walked two full laps around the complex.

"I can't wait anymore," David announced.

"Me neither, let's go back in," I said.

One of the cops at Danny's door said that they were still conducting the interview and that we couldn't come in yet. Danny was fine, he said, awaiting the results of an MRI of his brain. But, apparently still good enough to continue helping out with the investigation apparently.

Shit.

The same cop let me know that Brian had gone back to the station. I dialed his cell phone.

"Ruggazione," Brian said when he picked up my call.

"TJ," I said with a giggle.

All morning, I had been fighting the urge to tell somebody about what had happened between Brian and me last night, but who could I tell?

Danny. That's who.

Only Danny would love hearing the story of the little sexual tryst between me and Brian as much as I loved doing it. My mind couldn't get the image of Brian's lips encircling the entire girth of my hard dick. It was a very nice image, and I was going to remember it for a very long time! Somebody else should be able to enjoy it too!

"How's Danny?" He asked immediately.

I paused and took a breath.

"Okay, I guess," I said. "They still won't let us in there to see him. The docs are still checking him out, running some scans of his head I think."

"Good to hear. Let me know how it comes out," Brian said. "Considering what he's been through this past week, I'd say he looks surprisingly good."

My heart swelled. Not only is my police officer a stud and a half, he really cares about Danny too.

"Um, TJ, there's been a little break in the case this morning. That's why I had to go back to the station." Brian said quietly.

"What do you mean, a break? We just got Danny back, what else could...?"

"We have a suspect. We have just taken him into custody."

"Really! That's great!" I shouted.

Several people in the waiting room of the ER turned to look at me when I raised my voice. I mouthed sorry to the crowd and turned my face away.

"There's a strange twist though," Brian said.

"What do you mean 'a strange twist'?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Brian? You still there?"

"Yeah TJ, I'm here."

His voice sounded strange, like he was getting emotional or something.

"Brian, what is it? What's the strange twist?"

"It looks like it was one of us," Brian said, his voice cracking for certain now.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"It was a cop."

Holy crap!

"Whoa," I said.

I could tell that Brian was finding it really hard to talk.

"I can't say more right now. But I should be able to share more with all of you about who we think it is a little bit later today," Brian said. He was keeping his voice as calm as he could.

"Um okay, but how do you know? I mean, what kind of evidence do you have?"

"It's a videotape," Brian answered. "From the Stop 'N Shop. We just saw it this morning."

"But I thought you guys already...?"

This was getting pretty strange. Why the heck would a cop abduct Danny?

"We did see tape from the store already. This is a new one, from a different vantage point. It's pretty clear."

"So you saw the guy take Danny? I mean, the tape shows it?"

"Not exactly, well I'm not really supposed to be talking about this with you," Brian said haltingly.

If he wasn't supposed to be telling me anything, why was he? My brain was doing gymnastics trying to sort all of this out.

"Uh, okay." I said. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to ask more questions or not.

"We had a store employee bring us some additional information along with the new tape just this morning," Brian explained.

"Wow! Brian, I can't believe all of this is happening at the same time. We get Danny back and within a couple of hours we figure out who did it too!? Pretty crazy, right?"

Brian hesitated before answering me. He was getting his regular voice back, the emotion gone.

"TJ, I don't think any of this is a coincidence," he said.

Now I was really confused. What the heck was he talking about?

"What's that supposed to mean? Not a coincidence. I don't get it," I replied.

Another pause.

"I'm afraid I can't answer that right now," Brian replied.

"Oh."

"TJ, what can you tell me about your friend? The one who accompanied you on the train from Boston? The one who says he found Danny?"

"Max? My friend Max? Why do you want to know about Max? He's probably wandering the streets of New Haven right now, reveling in his new status as a hero."

"Um hmm," Brian said.

"If I know Max, I know he's probably out there right now torturing some poor young guy from Yale, trying to get him to sleep with him," I laughed.

"TJ, do you know where Max is right now?"

"Well no, actually. I thought you guys were done asking him about last night. Last I saw him was here at the ER a little while ago. He seemed normal," I lied.

I was remembering the uncomfortable few minutes we'd spent together. What he'd said had gotten me to thinking a lot. But I hadn't been able to pull the puzzle pieces together.

"He's not there with you? And he's not here at the station either," Brian said. It was more of a question than a statement.

Well, of course he's not there. He's out trying to get laid.

"Did you call him? I mean...he'll come right back if you need him too. Max has always had a thing for guys in uniforms," I explained.

Unless of course he already had some poor Yalie pinned naked against the wall of his dorm room.

"Yes, I've tried his cell. Several times. He's not answering. My calls went straight to voice mail." Brian was sounding very official and detective-like now.

"I could try him for you," I offered.

"Great. Thank you. Let him know that we have a couple more questions to ask him. Shouldn't take much time at all. Then he can get back to whatever it is he was doing."

"Okay," I said.

Brian had me a little worried right now. Was he lying to me?

"And TJ..."

"Yes?"

"Please don't tell Max that we have a suspect in custody."

"Uh...okay."

Brian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"It's important, TJ, really! Not a word to him about any of the details that I mentioned to you a few minutes ago. Okay?"

"Um, yes...of course. I won't say anything about it."

I felt myself perspiring. What the fuck was going on?

"Okay then, see you soon TJ. And please text me or let me know once you hear anything from your friend Max."

"Okay, I will."

I hung up. I felt a chill run all through me.

I turned to look again at the other people still sitting around in the waiting room. Before I tried Max's cell, I wanted to go and find David. I wanted to tell David the good news. The police had a suspect.

That was a good thing. So why was my whole body shaking?

David had his head in his hands. He looked exhausted, exactly how I felt too.

When I told David that Brian said they had a guy in custody, I could see him visibly lighten. All the same, the best he could manage was a little smile and a fist bump with me.

Maybe there would be a chance for him to be more excited later. Once we were absolutely sure that Danny was out of the woods.

I went back outside to try calling Max.

After one ring, I got voice mail too.

"Max, this is TJ. Hey buddy, Danny's doing great! Just a couple more tests that they want to run, but things look very good so far. I'm still over at the hospital right now, but I'm heading back to the police station in a few minutes."

I paused, thinking carefully about what I was going to say next.

"Why don't you meet me there? No hard feelings about earlier today, all right buddy? I know that it was just you being you."

In fact, if Max had not tried to have sex with me at the station, only that would have been a surprise.

"I mean, we can go and grab a bit to eat together. I haven't really seen you too much this weekend. Uh...I feel like I haven't paid as much attention to you as I should have. So when you get this, ring me back and let me know where you are."

If I went on much longer, Max would know for sure that something was up. I was usually the master of the short voice mail message.

"All right then, that's it. Just call me back, okay buddy? Oh, and it's TJ by the way, in case I didn't say that."

I clicked the off button.

I'm such an idiot.

With nothing more to do at the hospital, I thought I'd go and check in on the investigation. Catch a little time with Brian. But I needed a ride. Maybe one of the cops could take me.

One did. Twenty minutes later, I was back at the New Haven Police Station. It was only late afternoon now, but I felt like I'd been up for days. I was totally wiped.

The officer who drove me back from the hospital buzzed us both in to the private entrance. As soon as he opened the door, I was assaulted by the noise. How did they ever get anything done here?

Brian met me in the hallway. He tried to shake my hand, it had been all of a few hours since I seen him. I insisted on a hug. Brian's face looked nervous but his body gave in to mine willingly. It lasted for a few seconds longer than he was comfortable with. But it was still not long enough for me.

"How's Danny?" He asked me again.

"Same. No change. Nothing back on the brain scan yet. Is that normal?" I answered.

Brian shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He didn't know either.

"Well, at least he's able to keep talking," Brian offered.

God. If they only knew Danny. The boy could probably be in a coma and keep up a good conversation.

Brian placed a hand in the small of my back and guided me further down the hallway. Perfectly professional, but it felt nice to me.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"There's some one here who you know," Brian answered.

My ears perked up. Who could it be? Max? Had they found him?

Brian gently pushed me ahead. He apparently wasn't going to tell me who it was. We made a left turn and stopped before a door. I recognized it as the same private room that I had been inside of earlier that day.

Brian knocked twice and opened the door. Seated at the table were two men. I didn't recognize the one facing us, but he smiled and stood up as we entered. But there was something oddly familiar about the backside of the guy facing away from the door. He didn't stand up quite so quickly as the one I could see. Probably because he didn't realize we had entered the room.

"TJ, I think you know one of these guys. From up in Boston," Brian said, a wry smile on his face.

The guy facing away turned slowly to face us. He was shorter than the other guy and had distinctive and well kept red hair. And a great smile.

As I realized who it was, I smiled too. From every corner of my body, electricity pulsed into my dick.

It was my English T.A. from BU! Jeremy M.

"Hi, Jeremy, what the heck are you doing here?" I asked.

Jeremy M introduced me to his brother Carey M. With my elevator eyes, I scanned Jeremy M's brother from head to toe. I didn't see the resemblance. He reached out to shake my hand. The two of them smelled like sex to me. I wonder what that was all about.

Brian left us alone and I sat down at the table for a chat.

Ninety minutes later, we were done chatting. What they told me chilled me to the bone! And I really had a phone call to make.

I had to call David Leeman and tell him, that in a completely ridiculous way, I was partly responsible for what had happened to Danny. I was about as completely overwhelmed by the stress as I'd ever been in my life. It was absolutely unbelievable to me that Max had been the mastermind behind everything.

After Jeremy M and his brother Carey had gotten through a few pleasantries, Brian came back. That's when the real information about what had really happened with Danny began to become clear.

Max was the final missing piece of the puzzle, and he was still not answering his cell phone.

Was he the ringmaster of this whole circus?

Max was a smart dude, that much was certain. You don't get into some rocket science program at MIT if you don't have it going on. But I'm not too sure about Max's common sense, and I was definitely not sure about Max's ability to control his libido. But could he really have been this stupid?

I had no idea where Max was. But given what I'd just heard from Jeremy M and his brother Carey, Max was probably long gone, trying to get as far away from New Haven as he could get.

The police would find him of course. Max was no hardened criminal. He would be completely clueless when it came to evading the dragnet that was being set up to locate him. It was only a matter of time.

My eyes were bleary. The news from the supermarket had come as a shock. Jeremy M held my hand.

Carey M looked across the table at me with sad eyes. Or were they just tired eyes? He was the real hero. He was the one who brought the new videotape into the police. He was the one who told the cops all about the officer who had visited him at the Stop 'N Shop last night. He was the one who identified the same cop in a lineup just before I returned to the station. And he was the one who kept his cool while I fell apart as the story had come together and we all figured out how Max was involved.

"So, what do we all do now?" Jeremy M asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Beats me," I said.

"I need to sleep," Carey M announced.

"Sounds good," I said.

"Not a bad idea," Jeremy M agreed.

"I'd invite you over to my place, but it's pretty small. I don't even have a bed, just a fold out couch," Max said.


"Gee, that's really nice, but I could probably go back to the hotel that I was..."

"Nothing doing," Jeremy M interrupted. "My friend Paolo has got a really big house. That's where I stayed last night and..."

Carey M started to laugh.

"What?" Jeremy M asked, looking at his younger brother.

Carey M said nothing. He just giggled some more.

"I swear, we slept. Really!" Jeremy M insisted.

Carey M lifted his eyebrows. There was no way the two of them had just slept, he claimed. My gay-dar went into hyper drive.

Jeremy M smacked the table with his palm. The guy had such a little hand that it didn't make much of a sound. It was meaty all the same. I smiled.

"Well, we did sleep. A little bit at least."

Carey M smirked. "I don't know how you managed to sleep at all. That Paolo is a fucking hottie. If it woulda' been me, I don't think I coulda' kept my hands off of him."

I smiled. This was an interesting development. Jeremy M blushed beet red. His brother had officially outed the both of them.

Jeremy M put his head in his hands. Strong, muscular hands. But they barely covered his face.

"Come on Carey!" Jeremy M pleaded. "TJ is in my English class. I'm his T.A. I grade his papers. A little professional courtesy here would be nice. The poor guy doesn't need to hear about my sex life, it's probably the last thing he wants."

I raised a hand to object to that.

Carey M burst out laughing.

"Who doesn't know about your sex life already? Bro? I mean, TJ lives in the same city as you! Is it possible that he's the only boy in Boston who hasn't fucked you? Yet?"

Jeremy M kept his face covered and shook his head.

"I'm going to have to kill you now, you know," Jeremy M said, peeking through thick fingers at his incorrigible brother.

Carey M just laughed some more. "You know I speak the truth, Jeremy," he said.

Jeremy M uncovered his face and lay both his arms onto the table, palms up. The carvings of the muscles in his forearms alone could give me a hard-on.

"Give me a break Carey," Jeremy M said. "You've been fucked in the ass a few times yourself, right? I know that's the truth!"

Carey M looked like he'd been punched in the gut.

"What? There I said it. Now we're both outed."

I said nothing.

Carey M smirked and held up a peace sign.

"Twice!" Carey M said. "I've been fucked exactly twice."

"Well then...there you have it!" Jeremy M said, clearly feeling vindicated.

"In my whole life. Twice. In my whole life! Once back in high school! Some kid in my 11th grade gym class. And once right here in New Haven. About a month ago. I'm afraid I didn't catch his name."

Jeremy M and I chuckled.

"See?" Jeremy M looked directly at me and pointed a thumb at his brother. "He's been fucked twice! So I'm not such a bottom pig now, am I?"

I opened my mouth to say something but decided not to.

"Please. You were probably fucked twice just yesterday. Before lunch!" Carey M teased.

Jeremy M pursed his lips and looked toward the ceiling. He pretended to count on his fingers. When he ran out on one hand, he looked at his brother.

"Well, you'd be about half right, I didn't actually have lunch." Jeremy M said.

I laughed hard at that.

"Slut!" Carey M said with a huge grin.

"Well, little bro, Paolo counts for more than one. Trust me. You'd let him fuck you twice in one day also!"

Carey M slapped his thigh. "Fuck! I knew he had a big dick!"

Jeremy M held his hands about a foot apart and then inched them a little bit farther.

"Yeah, you wish," Carey M taunted.

"I shit you not." Jeremy M said matter of factly. "It's really a girth thing anyway."

Jeremy M held his hands up as if he was holding a grapefruit.

"Wow!" Carey M and I whispered aloud at the same time.

The fabric of my jeans suddenly felt tight around my crotch. This Paolo, and his wiener with the girth of a grapefruit, I had to see!

"So, who's with me?" Jeremy M asked. "Sleepover at Paolo's house? It's been a really long day, am I right?"

Both Carey M and I raised our hands involuntarily.

"I'm in, but first I've got a phone call to make." I said.

"Cool. I might get in a run this afternoon before it gets dark, but just give me a call when you are headed over," Jeremy M said.

A run? Hmm.

Carey M and Jeremy M left the room and I was left alone.

I dialed the phone. After David answered, I made sure he was sitting down. Then I unloaded everything.

As reluctant as I was to make the call to David, it had gone better than I expected.

"What's up with Danny? Can he see us yet?" I asked.

Danny was finished with all of his X-Rays now, and had been given a clean bill of health. But he had a few scrapes, and a mild concussion from whoever bashed him in the parking lot last night. They wanted to keep Danny overnight at the hospital just to make sure he was okay. If everything went smoothly, he would be out tomorrow and free to return him a day or two after that. David was thrilled that his twin brother had come out of everything so well. And his parents were there too. The four of them were having a very happy reunion.

Nothing I had to say about the cops being involved, or Max masterminding some stupid plot, was going to spoil their moods. They had their Danny back, and everything would sort itself out in due course.

As soon as I hung up, Brian entered the room. I smiled, it was really good to see him. He looked haggard and relieved all at the same time.

"We've got him," Brian reported. His face was stern, and he was suppressing a smile.

"Yay!" I said, assuming that we were talking about Max. "Where was he?"

"At Reception, he just walked in on his own and announced who he was to Bernice. She had him through the entry doors and in a set of handcuffs in less than a minute."

"Bernice?" I asked.

Brian pointed his gorgeous eyes directly into mine.

"Our receptionist. Rather large-ish African American woman. Enormous pile of curly blond hair all over the place. Really, you couldn't possibly have missed her."

I shook my head. "No, sorry. I think I came in the back door." I said.

Brian laughed. Clearly he was thinking about last night in the hotel. Oh yeah, how could I forget?

"Not really, no. That would've been me," Brian teased.

I giggled at his joke. How could I forget the manhandling he gave me last night? Seemed like a lifetime ago at this point on Sunday.

"Sorry. Couldn't resist," Brian said, glancing at my crotch.

Whenever anybody looked directly at my dick, and I knew that they were doing it, I inevitably got hard.

Brian's glance had the expected effect. I shoved a hand into a pocket to hide the evidence. Brian smiled.

"Man, you're easy," Brian said.

I exhaled. "You have no idea," I replied. "It's a curse."

"It's okay by me," he said.

"Thanks, that's very nice of you," I said. "To feel sympathy toward the ridiculous college boy who gets hard-ons when the wind blows."

"Well, I've got to get back. They are processing your friend Max now. I'm needed to help with some of the paperwork."

My eyes teared up. "He's not my friend anymore. Maybe he never was."

"No. I guess not," Brian agreed.

Brian gave me a brief hug. I didn't even bother to keep my pelvis from contacting his. Not after what we'd done last night anyway. Brian grinned when he felt my dick through my pants. The evidence was clear: he really had given me a woody.

Reluctantly, he turned to go.

"Oh Brian, will you give Max a message for me?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess, what is it?"

"Tell him that I hope they serve onion kulcha in prison. He'll know what I'm talking about."

"Onion kulcha?"

"It's Indian food. Max loves it, like these fried onion things. I've seen him make a whole lunch of them."

"Okay."

"I think I might go for a run over at the Yale Bowl. Then I'm going to hang out with Jeremy in a little bit, you know, my T.A. in English."

"Okay," Brian said again.

"The Leemans are still at the hospital and I thought I'd give them their space. You know, as a family."

"You know, you're part of that family, TJ." Brian said sweetly.

I nodded slowly.

"Danny and David. All the Leemans. They really think of you that way. They love you."

Brian's comment got the tears started again. I'm not sure it was true, that the Leeman twins thought of me that way, but it was really nice of him to say.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, trying to make them stop watering.

This whole crying thing was ridiculous enough, but then to have a boner at the same time just because Brian had shot a quick glance at my crotch! How much more of a basket case could I be?

Brian placed his hand just above my hip and left it there for a moment. I could tell that this case had taken a lot out of him. Apart from the tears, he was probably nearly as much of a wreck as I was.

"Have fun with Jeremy," Brian said as he opened the door to leave. "He seems like a pretty nice guy. Did you know he's a triathlete too?"

"Oh really?" I lied. "I hardly noticed, he didn't mention it."

"You're a terrible liar TJ. The guys pretty fucking cut."

I nodded and Brian began to close the door. I had an idea.

"Join us. I don't know exactly what we're gonna do, but I'm sure you're welcome. You know, over at Yale Bowl. Or whatever."

"I just may. I could use some exercise. Maybe a little down time," Brian said.

He closed the door after him. I was left standing there alone, my eyes moist and my dick hard. Again.

I called David one last time.

David sounded surprisingly contented when I reached him.

He reported that all of the Leemans were safely tucked in over at the hospital. Danny had a private room upstairs, and was getting in a little snooze. Several members of the New Haven police force were hovering about. They felt a lot better. Danny was going to be all right.

In a few days, Danny would be released and I could get to spend some time with him.

I'd decided to stay in New Haven for a few days, maybe help however I could. Before he and his brother split, Jeremy M agreed to help me out. He took care of things with my English class. I made a few more phone calls to my instructors and left messages for a couple. The ones I reached listened to my story and were surprisingly understanding. I could make up the work as soon as I got back. Apparently they had already been contacted by one of the security officers at school and had a rough idea of what was going on.

My life as a college student could get back on track in just a few short days. All neat and tidy and wrapped up in a bow. Soon I'd be back in the grind, ready to wrap up the school year.

Max. Poor misguided Max. What on earth was he thinking hatching this plot? Brian told me that Max had never intended for Danny to be hurt badly. And he never intended on Danny being abducted. Just roughed up a bit. And then Max had planned that he would be there, right there by my side, when I needed him. Brian said that was the key to his plan. That his emotional depth and compassion was supposed to get me to fall in love with him. Or at least to finally agree to have sex with him. Such a simple need Max had. Sex with me, that's all he wanted. It all boiled down to that.

But what a stupid fucking idea it was!

None of us would ever be the same. Not Danny of course. Not me or David.

And not Max, or even the cop that he gave money to make sure things didn't get too far out of hand. At least the cop had the good sense to go and help Danny out after this thugs he was hanging out with beat the shit out of him.

In time, I was certain that I could put all of this behind me.

And maybe meeting Brian would turn out to be a good thing in my life. Or maybe I'd just be fuck buddies with my English T.A. Jeremy M.

It appeared that for the first time in my life, I had choices. And pretty good ones at that.

**

After I'd finished talking with David Leeman on the phone, I decided to go for a run. But I needed my stuff if I was gonna go out for a long one. Jeremy M and Paolo could wait a bit.

In my street clothes, I jogged quickly over to the hotel.

I changed in the lobby bathroom, stuffed my clothes into a bag and gave the bellman another five bucks.

There was a cool breeze blowing that I could feel against the fine layer of sweat I'd just worked up. Since I didn't know my way around, I kept to city streets where there people about.

Dancing between pedestrians and baby strollers is not exactly my favorite way to burn some miles, but it felt exhilarating to be running. To be back into life again. As I ran, there were people waiting on the sidewalk for the light to turn green, people absorbed in conversation or people texting away on their phones. There were Yale students streaming in and out of the bars on Chapel Street, and there were students laughing or talking way too loudly; Sunday Fun Day I guess. I crossed some streets. Cars were honking. There were kids with their ice cream cones. My stomach growled.

Running made me feel alive. And today, that's exactly what I needed.

I turned right onto the Yale campus and started looking for the Bowl. The Yale Bowl where the track meet had been held last weekend. Practically a lifetime ago. Somebody mentioned that it was a mile or so off campus. They gave me directions and I ran toward it.

There was no football or soccer game on the field, but the track was lit.

A few students and few locals jogged around. I found a lane and fell into a natural rhythm. I kept up my pace.

It felt good, my legs stretching in front of me, my heels pushing against the soft bouncy surface. This was what I was meant to do. To run. I would never be an Olympic athlete. I'd probably never even make an NCAA finals. And, unless a miracle happened or I somehow got a heckuva lot faster, I would probably never even get an invitation to any more of the big college meets. Last weekend, right here at the Bowl was a one-off and I knew it.

But, despite that, I knew then, as I know now. I am a runner. That's what I do. That's what I'm good at. I do my best at school. At meeting guys. At being a good son for my parents, a good brother. But, all of that is still an open question for me. The jury is still out.

But I do run, and I do it well.

Rejuvenated by the wind against my face, I accelerated.

I easily passed by the casual joggers hugging the inside lane.

I don't know how many laps I ran. It was completely dark when I decided to stop. I can't remember when I had ever run so fast. If I'd been racing last Sunday on this very track, in the finals of the Yale Invitational, I felt very sure that I could have given those other college boys quite a race. Maybe I'd have placed.

With my hands on my hips, I decided to walk a lap as a cool down. I was catching my breath when I caught a glance of another runner entering the track. He was fast too. He was in at least a sub five minute mile pace. Crazy! Could it be a Yale student? A left over from last week's meet?

As the runner for closer, I could make out only a few details in the dim light. On the short side. Red hair, closely cropped. I knew exactly who it was.

Jeremy M?

He ran past me once without stopping. How could he not have seen me?

I watched circle the track in a blaze of speed, his shorter legs pumping stride after stride. As he rounded the turn behind me, I stopped. I turned to face him.

We both knew in an instant. It took him a few paces to pull up, and he came up awkwardly about fifteen feet past.

He reached out a hand. I walked up and took it in mine.

Nice.

We ran together for a few more laps, Jeremy M's blistering stride a little too much for me but I managed to keep up. When he judged that I was having trouble, Jeremy M slowed and allowed me to come along beside him. He smiled at me, and I managed a half grin, half call for help in return.

Then my phone rang. We both stopped as I answered it.

It was Brian. He had his running gear on and wanted to know if he could still meet me at Yale Bowl for a run.

"It's dark, you know," I said.

"Good," Brian said. "I'll be right there."

I reported the conversation to Jeremy M and he grinned.

"Sounds fun," he said. "Let's get in a few more."

And off we went.
