Chapter 7
They never saw the pack until Diego walked to the strip of camouflage paracord and pulled on it. Clearly, he had been trained better at all this than we were. Dad always felt like things could go bad, but he was also the eternal optimist so while we had a plan, we never were that heavily into the prepping stuff, unfortunately. We sat on our knees taking inventory. Diego was carrying what was supposed to be enough for him and his brother Luis for a week. The pack was heavy, probably 40-50 pounds. Dixon suggested they split the stuff between the two packs to lighten the load. Diego was very unsure about that plan. He didn't know these guys. They could be trying to get supplies from him and run. Ben could see he was kind of upset about what was going on.
"Look, Diego, if we'd wanted to do anything to you, we would have done it last night. I had plenty of opportunity to kick your ass and steal whatever you had then" Ben said.
"You could have tried" Diego said, dropping into what looked like some martial arts stance.
"Ease up, dude. The point is I didn't try" Ben said, "If you remember, you slept wrapped up in my arms last night."
Diego thought about it. He probably wouldn't be able to travel far with the weight he was carrying, that was true. These guys were not that threatening either. And surely, he would meet up with Luis and the others sooner rather than later.
"Okay, let's do it" Diego said. They divvied everything up until the two packs felt about the same.
"We only have four bottles of water, so we'll have to hit another store or something later today" Dixon said.
Diego rummaged in his pack and pulled out a small device. "This is a Sawyer Squeeze filter, if we can find any water, we can drink it" he said.
"Awesome" Dixon said, "we can avoid the risk of going into those places for a while, anyway."
We were an unknown number of miles south of Lincoln when we stopped for a rest under some trees.
"We'll have to start going west some time" Diego said.
"Mexico is south" Ben answered.
"If we go straight south, we'll end up in whatever's left of Houston" Diego said "I think we should go west and try to get into Mexico somewhere around El Paso."
"That'll mean walking for days or weeks in the desert" Dixon pointed out.
"I know. That means we'll need to find another pack before the desert starts. That way one of us can just carry a pack of water" Diego said, "anyway, we can stay south for a while. We just don't want to go near Dallas or the other big cities. We can start west somewhere in Kansas or Oklahoma."
"Okay, if we haven't met up with some of our family by then, I guess we'll be the only family we have" Ben said, hanging his head. They spent the night in a cornfield close to the Salt Creek reservoir. The good thing was it was summer so temperature wasn't a problem. The bad thing was it was summer and the fields were alive with flying insects. They stayed near the road, just far enough in to avoid being seen. Diego had one of those space blankets in his pack they used for ground cover and they all laid on it and despite the bugs and noise from the rustling corn they fell asleep.
Late in the night Ben woke up and Diego was gone. The moon was pretty bright tonight so Ben decided to look for him. Standing up, he listened for a minute and heard a sound that didn't fit in and walked toward that sound. The first thing he saw was Diego's back. Diego was on his knees and his pants were bunched up around his ankles beneath his near perfect ass. He had his tee-shirt pulled up; the front side was over his head and tucked behind his neck. As a passing cloud cleared and the moonlight brightened Ben could see Diego's right arm moving and he went hard almost instantly. He stayed back and remained as quiet as possible; listening to the quiet slap of skin on skin as Diego pleasured himself. Ben could see from the way Diego's ass was flexing that it wouldn't be long now, so he started backing up and quietly went back to their camping spot and pretended to be asleep. When Diego came back and snuggled up next to Ben for warmth, he could see in the moonlight that Ben was hard inside his pants; but having just cum, that was as far as his thoughts took him. He turned his back toward Ben and snuggled up and went to sleep.
Ben was so hard it took him a long time to fall asleep, especially since the cause of his excitement was right beside him. He wanted so badly to turn over and press his hard peter into the boy's crack, but he was afraid of being called names and being treated like shit again so he just lay there in misery until finally sleep overtook him again.
Imelda Alvarez raced to the school as soon as the chaos began to try to pick up her sons. Miguel's car was not in the parking lot, that meant at least he and Rafael were gone already. She waited and finally saw the other three and got them into the car and left; speeding back to their home. Antonio had everything ready. He and the boys loaded the luggage carrier on top of the SUV and loaded all the stuff from the garage that had been waiting for just such a situation. Diego was the last into the vehicle so he sat against the door with his bug-out bag in his lap. They stopped at a service station as they headed out of town and Diego grabbed the backpack as he went in to use the restroom. The place looked like a war zone; everything had been looted. Diego kicked stuff out of the way and went into the bathroom. Inside vandals had already broken toilets and busted open a condom machine to steal the money; the condoms were still there. As he started out of the bathroom, he saw a group of people surrounding his family's SUV. His dad honked the horn twice, then one more long time. That was the signal for him to find another way out and try to meet them at the rendezvous point. He went back into the bathroom and had no problem getting out since the window had been smashed into oblivion. He snuck into the woods behind the station and maneuvered around the area through the woods until he didn't hear the gang of rioters any longer. He walked along the road until nightfall and carefully hid the pack in the way his dad taught him before sitting down with his back against a tree to try to sleep. He was startled awake when he heard footsteps in the dark. He shined his flashlight toward the noise and captured the perfect view of a white penis with a small patch of hair on either side of it. It was Ben.
Meanwhile, Diego's family had jumped on the US highway out of town and were far ahead of him now. Tony was afraid to stop during the day; too many vandals. They decided to go on to Hays where Imelda's sister lived, there would be safety in numbers there.
"Do you really think his family would just leave him like that?" I asked.
"They were under attack! When you're in that situation it's every man for himself" Kevin replied. "Trust me dude, the dad – Tony, he has it all worked out. Even if they all get separated, they know where to meet up. Plus, the kid has some kind of martial arts type training; part of that prepping plan of his dad's."
"I don't know, Kevin" I said.
"Trust me" he answered.
They'd been traveling for a couple of days and were well into Kansas. An old farmer carrying a load of hay offered them a ride into Hays; that's where Diego's aunt lived. He seemed sure that his family would be there, so the old man took them as far as the feed store. The people who ran the feed store were busy trying to repair what they could. It looked like there had been looters here too. Diego asked if they could help him find the address he had for his aunt and they gave him directions. They got to the house late in the afternoon; unfortunately, it was empty. They looked around and found an unlocked window and the boys crashed in the house that night. Dixon insisted that they keep the lights off. Ben wanted to take a bath since none of them had bathed in a week. Diego agreed, he would like to get clean too.
"Share so there'll be water left for me" Dixon said, "I'll keep watch while you're in there."
The street lights were still working in this part of town, so even though it was dark outside there was light from those streetlights coming in the bathroom window. Ben started stripping on the way and dropped his clothes in a pile in the bathroom floor. Diego was shy and slower to get undressed. Ben turned on the water and it actually started getting hot.
"Yesss!" he said. He looked back at Diego who'd only managed to get his shirt off.
"Come on, dude. We don't know how long this is going to last" Ben told him, then stepped into the tub.
Diego turned his back and dropped his pants; Ben could see the once white briefs hugging his ass. Diego hesitated a minute, then, as if coming to some internal decision, he hooked his thumbs into the waistband of the briefs and pulled them off to join the rest of his clothes on the floor next to Ben's. Ben pretended not to look at Diego turned around to get in the tub, but out of the corner of his eye he took a mental picture of the brown tube and satchel with the little nest of pitch-black hair over it.
Ben ran the sliver of soap he'd found under his arms and around his crotch, then handed it to Diego as he rinsed the critical areas. The boys traded places so that Diego could get under the water. Ben felt the heft of Diego's peter rub across his hip as they repositioned. When Diego raised his right arm for soaping, the illumination from the streetlights showed a few strands of black hair under the arm. Ben started to get hard, despite thinking about that dead deer they had walked by the other day. Diego dropped the soap and bent over to pick it up, giving Ben a direct view of the tiny pucker between the two nicely rounded cheeks. He picked the soap up and gingerly ran it between his cheeks to clean the most private spot, then handed it back to Ben. When he turned toward Ben to rinse his ass, Ben saw that Diego was hard too.
"Can I...never mind" Ben mumbled, he really wanted to touch it but he was afraid he'd make Diego mad.
"What?" Diego asked.
"I was just wondering if you remembered to wash that" he pointed at the hard cock.
"Oh. No, thanks for reminding me" Diego said, turning around to clean his dick. "Okay, I'm done" he got out of the tub and started looking for anything to use for a towel while Ben finished up washing. Ben would really have liked to give himself some relief but Diego wasn't leaving. He found a towel somebody had left in the hamper and used it to dry off while stealthily keeping an eye on Ben's boy parts; Ben was the first white boy he'd seen who wasn't circumcised. He acted like he was drying his hair as Ben pulled the skin back and ran water over the head of his peter, then watched in the mirror as Ben washed in the crack of his ass. Ben turned off the water and Diego handed him the damp towel. Diego picked up his clothes and walked into the bedroom next door.
"I don't want to put those dirty clothes back on tonight" he said to Ben as he crawled under the sheet.
"Me neither" Ben said, getting in beside him. Out in the hallway they heard Dixon going into the bathroom and the sound of clothes hitting the floor.
"You guys keep your ears open" Dixon said around the corner. It was to no avail; they were clean and comfortable and soon asleep. When Dixon got out of the shower, he went in the living room and collected all their stuff and put it in the bedroom with them before jamming a chair under the door knob for safety. He took the other bed across the room. In a short while he was out cold as well.
Diego slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room, trying to remember where he was. He knew he was hard as a rock and his peter was wedged between the butt-cheeks of the boy wrapped in his arms. There was a boy in his arms. It came back to him...Ben. His hard dick was between Ben's cheeks knocking on his back door. He pulled back on hips and freed himself, but in the process, he woke Ben who yawned and stretched and turned onto his back causing a tent to form in the sheet. Diego looked across the room where Dixon had slept last night, but the bed was empty.
"Good morning" Ben said softly.
"Morning" Diego said, his eyes still on the lump in the sheets.
Ben looked at the other bed, "Dixon's up already."
"Yeah, I saw that. You're kind of `up' too" Diego said with a giggle.
"Almost every morning" Ben said "I was going to take care of it last night, but I was afraid you'd be freaked out."
"What do you mean?" Diego asked.
Ben made the universal gesture for jacking off and said "You know..."
"Oh. Yeah, I could use some of that too" Diego said, rolling onto his back and making a larger tent.
"Can I ask you a question and promise you won't get mad?" Ben said.
"Sure, I guess" Diego said.
"Have you ever done anything with another guy?" Ben whispered, mentally crossing his fingers for the right answer.
"I've never done anything with anybody" Diego said, staring into Ben's eyes.
"Can I touch it?" Ben asked.
Diego nodded and held the sheet up and watched as Ben's hand circled his dick and started to pull the skin up and down.
"You guys get up and get dressed, we need to move!" Dixon called from the other room. Well, so much for that idea Ben thought. They got out of bed and took a few seconds to assess each other. He's bigger than me, Ben thought. Cool, an uncut white boy, Diego was thinking. Ben grabbed his clothes and went toward the bathroom to take a morning piss, holding his engorged tool down to make the stream hit the water. Diego came in and stood beside him struggling with his erection too. Eventually, they finished and started putting on the dirty clothes. At some point they'd have to try to find a store with some clean clothes they could loot.
"I found some notes on a piece of paper in the kitchen" Dixon said.
Diego looked at the piece of paper. DC, Sub, Lib, Str, Dal, Log was all that on it. He thought about the drills his dad put them through, it was a route.
"It's a route, guys" Diego said, "Dodge City, Sublette, Liberal, Stratford, Dalhart, Logan. They're going down 54 at least as far as Logan. It was a clue they left for me."
"I guess we know which way to go then" Ben said.
"The US highway will be dangerous on foot. Nowhere to hide fast" Dixon said.
"Maybe we should try to hitch again" Diego said.
"How long would our luck hold out doing that?" Dixon said, "Haven't you heard about perverts who pick up kids like us and rape `em?"
"What else can we do?" Ben asked.
"Jack a car" Dix said, "bound to be some cars left behind. If we could find one with gas in it, we could at least get a few hundred miles.'
"The only problem is we're 13 and you're almost 15 and none of us can drive a car" Ben said.
"Dad's let me drive before, I can kind of drive...and it's not like there's a lot of traffic now..." Dixon said.
"Problem 2 is it would have to have keys, none of us know how to hotwire a car" Ben said.
"Used car lot" Diego said.
"Bingo" Dixon said. They packed up and set out.
"Okay. So, you think in real life that three kids could steal a car and drive to Mexico?" I asked Kevin.
"You hear about the 8-year-old who took his mom's Prius on a joyride?" he answered.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that" I admitted, "man, if they could find a Prius, that would be sweet. They would definitely be able to catch up with Diego's family then."
"Nah, too easy" Kevin said, "Let me think about it a minute..."
The car lot had been vandalized, the door to the office was open. Mostly it was pickup trucks, this being farming country. Over in the corner was an older model Nissan Versa that seemed to be mostly intact and would be bound to have a better range than a V8 pickup. Dixon went into the office and found all the keys in a big pile on the floor. He rifled through them until he found a set with the round Nissan marking on the them. First problem, when they turned the key, the car only had barely above empty showing. They searched around and found a gas can, then Dixon took the multi-tool and cut a garden hose they found so they could try siphoning gas from the other cars. Ben took keys from the pile and tried them until he found a Ford F250 with nearly a full tank. They siphoned a full can and poured it into the Nissan then a couple more jugs full until the tank was full, then he filled the gas can one last time so they'd have spare fuel. The got in and Dixon cranked it up. Since the gate was still locked, they would have to go out through the grass on the side of the lot and go around. Ten feet into the grass the car got stuck, Diego and Ben jumped out and pushed and rocked the car until Dix could get it moving again. He didn't slow down this time until the wheels hit asphalt. The boys ran over and got in and they took off.
