Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 16:42:30 +1200 From: arthur Subject: Snake eyes part 2 SNAKE EYES Part Two By Arthur As he stepped back from Peters, then Ivans hug a pair of warm golden arms surrounded Stewarts waist from behind. "Hi Babes, love you." Stewart snuggled back into the familiar arms and leant back his head until it was resting on the familiar soft shoulder. "Hi Goldy, love you too." "What do you think about these two turning up?" "Worried." "Why should you be worried babes?" "Worried about you." "Oh Babes, you know you don't have anything to worry about for me." "Yes I do Goldy." "What! what are you worried about me for Babes?" "That you might like a man in uniform, well two men actually." Stewart let the giggle escape his lips as the arms tightened around him further. "Babes, you know I only like guys smaller than me." "So, I'm just a squirt now huh?" "Yeah Babes, but you're my squirt and that's the only one I want." "Mmmmmm, love you." "Love you too Babes." Terry spoke up as the two boys seemed to get closer and the rest of the world disappeared from their sight. "Jeez you two, enough already, we've got guests for crying out loud." "Huh, what's that Pops?" "Bloody boys, don't know why I got messed up with them." "Cause we love you Pops." "yeah well that helps I suppose, go on you two amscray, we got work to do. Come on Peter, Ivan, I'll show you the honeymoon suite." "Honeymoon?" "Why not, how dumb you think this old man is boy?" "Obviously not dumb enough." "That's enough out of you mister, you're not so big I can't put you over my knee." "Now there's a thought Ivan." "Uhuh, be different now, wouldn't it." Peter let his arm drift around Ivans waist as they followed Terry down to the end room where Stewart and Fore had first stayed. "Here you go guys, see what you think of this room." Peter and Ivan opened the door into a very large reception area and then with a startled look realised that the room was now a lot bigger than the last time they saw it. The walls had been covered in expensive wall paper and all the furniture was high quality leather. The messanine had been enlarged and now held a huge round queen size bed with the ensuite taking up nearly a third of the floor space. "Terry, this is one beautiful room, when did you have it finished?" "Yesterday, just in time for you two, thought you might like to be first to break it in." "Terry, it's amazing and that bed, wow." "Just remember my warning about the sheets. Now you two get settled in, I'm sure there's two boys want to talk your ears off all night." Terry Left the two young men to get settled into the room and returned to the office to find Fore was just finishing updating the register and Stewart was seated at the computer doing the accounts. Stewart turned to Terry as he heard him enter. "Pops, what do you want Peter and Ivan listed as on the accounts?" "Put them down as 'Complimentary' it's tax deductable and I want to give them a week away with no hassles. They're going to have a tough time in Vice being so young and newly graduated. Those bastards in Vice can be ass holes at times with new guys, and any hint of them being the way they are, will make it harder for them." "Ok Pops, do you think they'll be ok in that department?" "Don't you go worrying Stew, those boys have got each other and that'll see them through any tough times. Now, what have we got to do apart from getting dinner ready?" First Fore answered followed quickly by Stewart. "Nothing here now Pops, I'm all done." "Same here Pops, just got this last entry for the carpeneters account and then I'm done as well." "Ok, soon as you're finished take off and go see your friends, I'll look after the office and get dinner started for the five of us." Terry had leased out the restaurant in the Motel to a small catering company as he didn't have the expertise to cook on a commercial scale. He enjoyed cooking for small groups of friends and now he had 'His Boys' to cook for he was quite happy to do it all the time. It gave him that nice family feeling when they were all seated together around the table at meal times. Minutes later and Stewart was finished his book-keeping and with a sigh jumped to his feet and grabbing Fore's waiting hand led him out toward the end room where the others were waiting for them. The next day was Saturday so there was no school for either of the boys. At 6.00am they were in the office to get things finished early and then at 9.30 they joined Peter and Ivan to go to the range for an hour of practice. By 11.00am they had finished their target practice and were making their way back to the office when a dark sedan pulled up outside and Nate hauled himself out of the drivers side, followed shortly by an older man from the passenger side door. The older man whispered something into Nates ear and then Nate laughed before explaining. "No that's Fore and Stewart, the other two are the graduates, they've got a week off before going on duty." The man nodded and followed Nate into the office. The four boys adjourned to Peter and Ivans room for a coffee and to let Nate and Terry catch up on things. A half hour later the boys heard Terry's voice calling them to the office. Leaving Peter and Ivan the two boys trotted down there and saw Nate and the older man standing with very concerned looks on their faces. Terry took up the reins as the two boys entered. "Nate meet my two sons, Terrance Madigan Junior and the little one is Stewart Nate Madigan, what you think?" "Stewart Nate?? hey Stew why Nate??" "Well you were the first one to help me and Fore.....I hope you don't mind...I wanted to remember you for helping us." "Mind, hell boy I'm honoured, by the way this is Commissioner Sutton, he's from Brighton city on the other side of the country. He heard what you two did to help catch the Tigermen and wanted to talk to you." Fore took over as ususal and Stewart just leant into his hip a little and placed his arm around Fore's back. "Talk to us, why?" "Well young man, I've had a chat to Terry, and the Sargeant is in agreement with the idea but the final decision has to be yours Terry told us." "And what is the decision we have to make?" "In Brighton City we have a problem with some missing school boys, after we heard through the grape vine about what you two boys did and how old you were we thought we would ask if you could help us with the investigation?" Fore looked at Stewart before answering. "I'm sorry Commissioner, but Pops needs us here and besides we're not trained for this sort of thing. Peter and Ivan would be better for it." "That's Bennet and Simkins Sir." "Ah yes, well uhm...do I call you Fore or Terrance?" "Terry Junior Sir." "Well Terry Junior, your friends Peter and ahh Ivan will be there but we need two younger boys as well. Ive talked it over with your ahm..Pops and he agrees that if you can help us then you should give it a try." The boys looked over at Terry and saw him nodding his head. "Stew, Junior, they are young boys, you know what goes on in kids heads now days, I think you should give it a go, but as I said it is really up to you." "But Pops, what about you here all alone?" "As long as you call me every night I won't get lonely, so is that a yes then?" "Well yes but on the condition you're going to be ok." "Hey my son, Ive lasted this long, I'm sure I can get by for a couple of weeks." "Ok then Pops, if you think we should then we'll go and try to help." "Good boy, I knew I had you pegged right, right Commissioner you better lay it out for them." The Commissioner began to tell the boys the whole story as far as the police knew it. "Just on six months ago we got a call from the local high school, Brighton Secondary. The headmaster said that one of the boys had been raped. When we got there a fifteen year old boy was in the Heads office in tears and obviously in bad shape." The commissioner paused as he obviously was seeing the boy again in his minds eye. "When we got him calmed down he told us the story. He had been invited by a friend from outside the school to a party the previous night, it was going to be just a few people and maybe a game of cards during the party for the fun of it. When the boy got there his supposed friend disappeared and left him with six older guys. They had a card table set up and asked him if he could help with the bar and snacks while they played and until his friend returned." Again the commissioner paused as though to get it all straight in his head. "The boy was a bit nervous but they all seemed like nice ordinary guys so he said he would. The friend needless to say never came back but as the night went on the boy relaxed and started to enjoy himself as these guys treated him like an adult all the time. Eventually they asked him if he would like to join their game as one of them had to leave. He told them he had no money to play with but they said it was ok he could play with markers and at the end of the game if he won they would pay him what he had less the start up markers. If he lost they would just treat it as fun and he didn't have to pay anything back. They told him a game was always better when there were six playing and as the other guy had now gone they were one short. The boy agreed and at first won quite a lot so he stayed and enjoyed the game. Two hours later he had lost everything and told them it was time for him to go home, it was then that they said he had to pay up first before he left." A dark look came over the Commissioners face. "When he told them he had no money they just said they knew that and he didn't have to pay with money. The boy got scared but the short end of it is that all five of them raped him over the next three hours. The boy made it back to the school and managed to get the Headmaster out of bed to call us. He couldn't tell us where he had been or much about the guys except they were about mid-thirties in age and all seemed really nice until the rape started." The commissioner looked at the stunned faces of the boys and at Terrys dark frown at hearing what had been done. "Now the trouble is that four other boys are missing and haven't come back to the school, all the boys were 14 or 15 years old and we think that they may have been taken forcefully as permanent sex for these five guys. We're not sure if the sixth one is involved or not as he wasn't there when the first boy got raped." Fore took the lead as usual for the pair of them while Stewart sat quietly and ran things over in his mind. "So you want us to go to the school and hopefully be chosen?" "In a nut shell, yes. We're sure they're still keeping a lookout for new boys but at the moment they can't get close to any of the boys that are there because of the warnings that have gone out. We were hoping that two new unknown boys that didn't know what had happened might have a chance of being looked at." "You said Peter and Ivan will be there, what will they be doing?" "They're a bit older looking for these guys we think, Nate has told me that you haven't had those locators removed yet and that they can still pick you up on their scanners sometimes." "Yes they're still in, we were going to have them taken out next month." "Ok good, now there's one thing we might do, it's not a really good idea but we think that after what happened with those other guys you helped to capture then we should give you every chance. Have either of you ever used a gun?" Stewart gave Fore a quick glance and then dropped his head. "Ahm not really, we've been to a shooting range and seen it though." "Look boys, this may be a bitch in the end, we are going to give you a little training in firearms and if you check out then we might, and I mean, Might! let you go armed. The sargeant here says you can be trusted and your Pops agrees with him but you have to keep it quiet if we do this, ok?" Both boys hid their faces a little as they answered. "Yes Sir, we won't say a word about it." "Good, now Bennet and Simkins will be at the school posing as older students to keep an eye on you, Nate has been temporarily seconded to us along with Officer Milly Richards and the officer that looks after your locators. We felt it was best if the ones that worked before were together as you all know each other." "What about Brian Sir?" "Ahh sorry we can't get him transfered for this, he's tied up on another case on the streets." "When do we have to go Sir?" "At the end of next week, Bennet and Simkins have a week off and we can't let you go in alone." "Don't you think Sir, that it would look strange to have four new boys all start school at the same time?" "Damn, never thought about it, what did you have in mind?" Stewart spoke up for them both. "Well Sir, I don't think they would try anything for a couple of days at least, so if my brother and I started a couple of days before Peter and Ivan got there it might look less like a set up." "Well damn it young man, you've got a better head on your shoulders than my planning staff, that sounds ideal to me, does it suit you Sargeat?" "These two know what they're doing Commissioner, if they say its the way it should go then it would be right." "Ok Sargeant that's good enough for me. I'll let you sort out the details over the next few days and then call me in Brighton City and I'll get the school end set up for you. How old are you two anyway?" Fore took the lead. "My brother's nearly 15 and I'm just over." "Ok, I'll tell the school that you're both 15 so you can be in the same classes together. The school has day students as well as boarders so it won't be unusual for you to live off campus, we'll have a place set up for you when you get there." Both boys nodded and then with a raised eyebrow at Terry, Fore asked an unspoken question. "Yes ok you two, go see the others, we can finish up here." A flash of disappearing boys was all that was seen as the three men looked at each other. The Commissioner looked at terry. "Ah, Mr Madigan, your boys seem a little closer than most brothers would be and they don't look anything alike?" Terry looked at Nate before answering and when he recieved a nod he spoke up. "No Commissioner they're not actually brothers, they are in the context that I have just adopted both of them as they have no family, so to that end they are brothers. Before that well.....ahh....they are an item." "Really, thought there was more to it than brothers, that's great Mr Madigan, it means they'll look after each other a lot better and not be distracted. Well gentlemen that's all I've got to say until you all come over to us, Sargeant!" With that the Commissioner got to his feet followed quickly by Nate and then Terry. After shaking hands with Terry the others left and Terry turned back to the desk. Terry hoped he hadn't put 'His Boys' in a bad light by admitting they were an item but he was damned if he was going to make the boys hide away from anyone. If they could be open and honest like they had been with him then they could live a better and hopefuly freer life style. The following Monday morning, just before Stewart left for school, Nates car pulled into the office driven by the omnipotent Milly at the wheel. Nate got out and entered the office with a few parcels in his hands. "Hi Fore....oops sorry, Terry Junior, got these uniforms for you, they're the school issue." "Naaaate....uniforms....oh my god what next? I can just see those guys looking at my skinny knees." "Knees my eye, They'll be oggling your skinny ass more like it." "Sargeant, that's not nice, you're going to be the cause of leading me into a life of sin." "You?....Sin?...you wrote the book my boy so don't give me that "I'm a virgin" look." Fore laughed and wriggled his eyebrows at Nate then reached for the parcels and laid them on the reception desk to wait until Stewart came in. Milly's strident voice came from the doorway. "Hey little boy, Don't I get a hello?" "Hey Milly, damn girl you lost weight." "You cheeky little bugger, so what's it like being a Junior Madigan now boy?" "Oh Milly, Pops is so great, it's like all of us are really a family, he grumbles and mumbles but he never says we can't give him a hug. it's a blast." "Where's your other half and those newly weds?" "Stew will be here any minute and the others are still in bed, or on it, or under it, or not using it." "Cheeky bugger, haven't changed have you street boy." Fore reached up and kissed Milly on the cheek as he grinned back at her. "You want me too Milly?" "No way my boy, don't you ever change or I'll come rattle your cage for you." "Promises, promises." Milly gave Fore a good hard slap on the butt then broke into a wide smile as Fore rubbed the now tender spot. "Jeez Milly you hit like Pops, now I got to stand up for lunch again." Milly chuckled at the gag and then looked over at Nate. "We ready then Sarge?" "Yep Milly, Fore will look after this lot, Say hi to your Pops for me Fore.....damn, sorry Junior." "Ok Nate, will do, bye for now." The two left Fore standing at the desk just as Stewart came round the end. "Hi Babes, look what we got to wear." "Hi Goldy, love you, what's all this?" "Damn uniforms for the school, we got to wear them over there." "It'll be ok Goldy, just remember that your butt belongs to me and not everyone that can see it at school." "Ok Babes, only yours, will put it in my diary in case I forget when I see all those spunky school boys." "In your dreams my sweet and lovely boy friend." The boys began to remove the coverings off the parcels as they joked with each other. Terry stood silently by the office door watching them interact with each other. 'Yep my boys will be ok' Once free of the wrappings the uniforms were not as bad as Fore thought they would be. The trousers were long and made of grey serge, the blazer was a dark navy blue accompanied by four white short sleeved shirts, black shoes and long sox with the school colours in hoops around the tops, the tie was diagonal stripes of navy and gold with the school crest woven into the center as well as a copy of the crest on the breast pocket of the blazer. "Jeez Babes, this is going to make us look like right little Lord Fauntelroys." "Lord who, sweets?" "Doesn't matter Babes, just something I read once." "Ok, well we'll look smart in these anyway." "Yeah but I'd rather have my Leathers." "Well you can take them with you and use them when we aren't at school, besides they make your butt look so enticing." "Oh and you'd miss that, would you?" Stewart answered with a giggle and a lifted eyebrow. "That's what I thought Babes." Terry spoke up. "So what's going on my boys?" Fore took the lead. "Our uniforms Pops." "Ahh, well you'll look so cute in them I'm sure." "Popsss." "Ok,ok, now when you going over there?" "We thought it would be best to be at school by Wednesday so we'll have to leave tomorrow." "Good ok, Ive put your weapons in your cases for you with some extra ammo just in case, now don't forget not to let anyone outside your group see them, If they give you something over there then leave it in your flat and use the ones you're comfortable with." "Ok Pops, will do." "Good, now go get those two love birds out of bed while Stewart gets to school, and then we can have some breakfast." Stewart had got into the habit of only eating lightly in the morning so Terry always had something ready for him before school and then Terry and Fore would have a cooked breakfast after he had left. Tuesday turned out to be wet and windy as the boys were taken by Terry to the airport to catch their plane to Brighton City. Fore had thought it would be a sad parting from his newfound Pops but during the night with his sweet babes bruied deep inside him, as per ususal, the excitement had begun to build at the thought of an adventure. His only concern was that he hoped it was not going to end up like the last time. Fore's sense of protection toward Stewart had grown daily and although he never voiced his fears, all the time his Babes was at school during the day, Fore had a small part of his mind on him and worried continually about him being alone at a strange school. Their flight was called and with a last tight hug for terry they boarded the plane and watchED their home receed in the distance through the small oval windows. Stewart reached for Fore's hand and held it all during the flight until they heard the seat belt signal for their landing in the city of a new adventure. TO BE CONTINUED:
