Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 15:03:41 -0700 (PDT) From: tag michaels Subject: Dane cody & Friends pt 7 One more time the adamant denials of any knowledge of these things happening to me, to anyone I know or anyone I have heard of. It ain't me babe. We woke up about six am, showered and got ready to leave. Chamberlain showed up about seven thirty to see us off. We had yet to decide exactly where we were headed since we had about two and a half months to get where we were going, not that we planned on taking that long. Chamberlain gave me a cell phone that had his various numbers programmed into it in. The Corvette and what few belongings we were taking would head out later that morning and as yet no decision had been made about Budgie, the cat. He was quite at home at Chamberlain's, whose six year old daughter had taken quite a liking to the huge Tabby. Chamberlain said that he could bring the cat up in the jet on his first trip north after we got settled in. "So", Chamberlain said as we prepared to leave, "have a great trip and if anything comes up we can contact each other. If I don't hear from you, I expect you'll call when you hit Seattle". I got in the Passport and Dane started to then jumped out and walked over to the Rolls and talked to Chamberlain for a few minutes, the latter nodding his head affirmatively before Dane returned and climbed in. "What was that about" I asked with some curiosity. Dane said that he told Chamberlain that if his daughter got really attached to Budgie then Dane would give her the cat, as long as Chamberlain was ok with it. I told him that was a pretty hard decision and commended him on thinking about it. "So, my sweet baby boy, we have some time on our hands, what kinds of things would you like to see between now and whenever we get to Seattle?" I had some ideas but wanted my boy's opinion and of course he asked what that might be. I told him I wasn't going to answer that until I hear what he wanted to say. Dane thought that camping would be kewl as he had done very little of that in his fourteen years. He wasn't interested in cities or theme parks now that he could go almost anywhere in the world any time he wanted. I tossed out some names of sites in the Western States that might be of interest to him and he liked all of them and so did I. We headed out, our first real stop was going to be up the coast at San Simeon, Heart's castle on the northern coast. I wanted to see it again and I thought that Dane might get a kick out seeing what kind of things money could do, the kind of money that he would one day inherit. From there we decided we would head east into Nevada, to Utah and up to Idaho and over to Jackson Hole Wyoming then up into Yellowstone. Along the way we would stop at sights, and parks and monuments. We would camp when we could and stay in motels every 2-3 days so we could shower if need be. Dane was becoming a very accomplished and creative lover for such a young teen. He was open to anything I suggested and he even thought up some interesting things on his own. Driving through Nevada to Salt Lake city he decided to give me a blow job while I was driving. I was wearing some shorts with an elastic band so it was easy for him to drag the front down and pull out my hard cock and suck on it while I drove. I had the car on cruise so I could put the seat farther back and give him access to my cock and my balls, both of which he serviced with his mouth. I was glad that there was little traffic cause I slid across lanes more than once while my baby sucked me off. I was glad too that there were no troopers since my shorts and boxers ended up around my ankles, and I was grateful that I had put a mirror tinting on the side windows after I got the car. I finally had to pull the car off to the side of the highway, which is not a really big deal in Eastern Nevada, while Dane finished me off. I came with a crashing orgasm, squirting hot cum in his eager mouth and he swallowed every drop. I wanted to return the favor but Dane said he would wait till later. I decided that since we were practically in the middle of no where now might be a good time for him to learn to drive on the open road. The Passport was an automatic, easy to maneuver, the freeway was straight as an arrow and you could see till tomorrow, and there almost no traffic. We changed seats, Dane went through all the preliminary stuff, following my directions, and we pulled out onto the freeway. My baby boy was nervous as a dog shitting razor blades but did ok. During the next hundred miles he did lane changes, pull off's, re-entries both at the side of the road and on some of the few exits from the freeway that were unpopulated. On one of the exits there was an abandoned restraunt so we practiced parking and backing techniques. It was here that a Nevada sheriff caught Dane driving. He didn't' say much. As long as we were off the road in a situation like this it was ok by him, "in fact he approved of the boy getting some good practice." I asked him where to camp for the night and he said that if I got back on 80 east about 10 miles down the road were signs leading to a nice camping area. He bid us good day and left, we soon after with me driving. We found the signs and, following them, found the camp area. I checked in, paid my fee as was told to find the site I wanted then come back and tell them. We headed through the place and looped back around to find ourselves along side a river. Not a huge rushing river but not a small mountain stream either. We came across a site we liked, on the river, with some trees that created a sort of shelter. There were restrooms close by and the closest camper was about two hundred feet farther on the road. I wrote the number down and Dane and I walked up to the ranger cabin and told them where we were. The ranger allowed as how he thought that was about the best site in the place, at least the best one on the river. Families with little ones tended to stay on the opposite side of the campground. He asked if I noticed the other occupied site down by where I was and I said that I had. He told me that it was a man and woman with a boy about my boy's age. They had been there over 2 weeks, maybe they were homeless, but the man tended to get loud so if I had any problems at all don't hesitate to come down and tell him and the park service would deal with the guy. They thought he might be drinking, which was illegal in the park, but hadn't caught him at it. I said we would and headed back down the dirt road to our site. As we passed our neighbor's site we saw a boy who looked about thirteen or so standing by the edge of the road. He had unkempt shoulder length brown hair and rather dirty cut off jeans on. He wore no shirt and his chest was smudged as well as his face. He looked unbathed and unfed but he waved to us and said "hey" with a big bright cheery smile. "Are you stayin in that campsite there" he asked pointing to my SUV. When we said we were, he said he thought it was the best place but his daddy wanted to be here at this site. We started walking again and he walked with us, "my name is Shannon", he said extending his dirty hand with a smile. Dane introduced us and as we walked he chattered on about the camping area, the river, the things to see. He was a font of information, a very likeable boy and despite the grime I thought he might even turn out to be cute. We got to our site, started to unpack and Shannon offered to help, so I handed him stuff as well. Between the three of us we got the tent up in record time. Shannon commented on how nice it looked and big it was. He usually slept in the back of their pickup cause they had a small tent. "Besides, my dad and his girlfriend, well, you can guess what they do at night, even if I'm there. It kinda makes me sick so usually I sleep in the truck". Dane gave me a glance as if to say, "the poor kid". "So, I said, where do we find firewood Shannon" I asked . Proud that he was included in things and could help, he told Dane to follow him and off they went. I messed about getting things ready for dinner, electing to cook on my camp stove and not a fire. I had things set up on the picnic table when the boys came back loaded with firewood. I asked Shannon if there were any showers close by and he said that the restrooms over there had a shower area. "Water doesn't get very hot tho", he said in a knowing voice, "but it'll do in a pinch". I suggested to Dane that we clean up before fixing dinner and he agreed. Dane told Shannon that he could join us if he wanted and he could also stay for dinner if he liked. I said nothing, trusting my baby boy's instinct. Shannon hesitated a moment then said that was probably a good idea that he clean up too. As for dinner, well, if his dad wasn't' back before we ate then he would like to join us. Shannon ran back to his site while Dane and I grabbed clean underwear and board shorts to change into then headed for the shower. Shannon met us along the way and we walked and talked. The showers were typical camp style, a large open area with about four nozzle heads and wooden benches along the wall to put your things. Dane and I wasted no time shucking our clothes off, but Shannon was a little bit hesitant. He watched carefully as we dropped our underwear and stood naked, cocks hanging in the breeze. I playfully swatted at Danes perfect white ass and he jumped out of the way, taking a grab at my cock, which I artfully avoided. The boy play seemed to relax Shannon a bit and he slowly took off his jeans, revealing a naked boy body. He wasn't wearing underwear. The boy was somewhat slender. As I said before, he looked underfed. His chest was not all that defined and his belly, while slim was not necessarily firm but still had a bit of baby fat. He had narrow hips and a very nice cock, looking to be at least six and a half inches long. Big for a boy his size and age. He had a nice set of matching balls that hung perfectly between his legs. He had a small neat little patch of light brown hair at the base of his cock, the only real visible hair on his body. I didn't' see his ass because he kept it out of sight, that is, he faced us the whole time he undressed, not that he was showing off his great boy cock but more like he was hiding something. As we walked over to the shower heads Dane said, "How old are you Shannon". The boy said that he had just turned thirteen in March. "Boy", Dane went on, "you sure have a nice big cock for a boy your age". Good old Dane, cut right to the chase. Shannon appeared to blush a little at Dane's straight forward talk and said with a smile, "Thank you, yours is pretty nice too. And so is yours Cody, I have never seen one as big as that before and your balls are so big too." As if I hadn't heard that before. I thanked the boy then began soaping my body down. The water wasn't all that warm and although it was still hot outside, I didn't want to get caught in cold water. Dane shampooed his hair and Shannon began the rinsing process before soap. He was till backed into the spray and was watching Dane carefully, and I saw that he kept a pretty close eye on Dane's cock as it swung with his scrubbing motion. I was spending time on my cock and balls and asshole, gently scrubbing away and allowed my self to start to get hard. Shannon noticed my cock raising a little bit and all but stared at it. I looked at him and asked, "Doesn't your cock get hard in the shower sometime Shannon, I know mine does". Dane picked up on the conversation and chimed in, "Me too, of course sometimes I make it get hard" and he laughed as he made a lascivious stroking gesture in front of his young cock. "I like jacking off in the shower sometimes, don't you" he asked the boy. Shannon blushed some more and agreed that sometimes he did too and he liked it out here in the woods since no one else was around. It was kinda cool doing in the open like that. Shannon's cock has begun to respond to the sex talk as had Dane's. I hollered to Shannon and threw him the soap so he could lather up and I rinsed off then worked on my hair. Dane had actually walked over to the shower head where Shannon was standing and offered to wash his back. Shannon declined rather forcefully I thought. I walked close to where the boys were and said, "Shannon, something is bothering you about the back of your body. I know we have only known each other for a short time but you can trust both Dane and me. Is there something you are embarrassed about?" He hesitated, thinking, then nodded and turned around. There were bruises. At his belt line on his lower back and on his ass. They weren't real dark so the dirt had covered the ones above his jeans. He said, in the voice of a little child as he looked at me, "My dad gets mad sometimes". And a single tear ran down his cheek. My heart went out to the boy. I hugged him to me, holding the back of his head and rubbing his back gently, as he began to shudder, sobbing quietly into my shoulder. Dane joined in the hug, putting an arm around Shannon's shoulder and my waist, joining the three of us in a cathartic experience for the boy. We broke the hug finally and I made my face remain neutral, hiding the rage I was feeling inside. " Well, I don't think there is ever any reason for that Shannon" I said, "but for now let's just have fun, the three of us, what do you say". He looked up at me, grateful for the understanding and the saving of face and nodded. Dane turned him around again and said that he had a nice ass and squeezed it gently. Shannon blushed again and said thank you. What a polite boy. Dane had moved in closer to the boy, and took the bar of soap from him and began lathering him down with it, rubbing his chest and arms, his belly, moving to his shoulders and back, his soft white ass and legs, then turned him around to face him. "Are you ready for the rest" Dane asked, looking the boy in his soft brown eyes. Shannon nodded and Dane then slid his hand down the boys belly and soaped his pubic patch and going further he soaped the boys long cock, lathering it to the end and squeezing it gently before moving to the low hanging balls and gently soaping an tugging at them. Shannon's cock got hard pretty fast. Perhaps this was his first time with another person. His eyes were closed and he moaned softly at Dane's touch. I stood behind the boy and shampooed his hair, gently scrubbing it. The boy allowed the both of us to gently work him over, trusting us not to harm him. We moved him under the shower spray and rinsed him all clean, Dane taking care with his ass, and of course, the core of him, his asshole. Shannon spread his legs giving Dane the room he needed to complete the process. We turned him around and looked at him. He was indeed a cute boy. About five three or so, soft facial features, squared jaw but not pointed and soft brown eyes framed by long lashes. His cock was at full stand, stretching almost to seven inches I would guess. He looked down to see that he wasn't the only guy whose cock was rampant and ready to rock. He gripped Dane's cock gently and said, "You guys are so nice, so cool. I wish we could be friends forever" I bent down and kissed his soft lips and said that I wished we could too. Then I became a party pooper. "You know boys, we need to eat and we can't stand here and get all sexy in public so let's get dressed, go back to our camp and eat something, then, if everyone still wants to play we can. What do you think". All teenage boys have two major access points. Their cocks and their stomachs and while the former usually takes precedence over the latter that is not always the case. Both teens agreed that food was in order so we began to dress. Shannon was going to pull on his dirty jeans again, and Dane stopped him. "Here" he said handing the boy a pair of Tommy boxers. I have tons of em you can have these. Shannon's eyes got big and he took the underwear, pulling them on then trying to look at himself in them. Clearly he was pleased, so much so, that he elected to not put the dirty jeans on over them. Dane and I pulled on board shorts and Shannon asked what they were as he had never seen anything like them before. Dane's were a fairly dark red with flowery panels at the sides, mine were a dragon print. As we walked back to the camp Dane explained to Shannon what they were and that we had gotten them in Hawaii the week before, well, actually 4 days before. Shannon was totally blown apart by this revelation. "You were in Hawaii last week?" he asked, voice tinted with incredulity. "I've never been out of Nevada" he went on. "What was it like in Hawaii, what did you do, is airplane food really good, how long was the flight, was it expensive" and more questions in a similar vein. He and Dane built a fire and Dane told him all about the trip while I made supper which was burgers and potato salad. Shannon almost flipped when Dane told him that we had flown over on a private jet. Dane wasn't' trying to brag, he isn't that kind of a boy, just trying to be honest. He then gave Shannon the short story of how he and I came to be together, where we were headed, and why. "Wow," Shannon responded. "it's sad that your family is gone Dane, but on the other hand, you are pretty lucky. You have people who love you. I don't know my mom or if she is even alive. I can't remember ever having any new clothes from a store and it seems like I am always hungry. Not starving but never really full, if that makes sense. I have never lived in one place for more than a year and, well, my dad is an asshole pure and simple." The boy wasn't complaining or even really melancholy as he talked, simply relating things the way they were. Considering his circumstances he was a pretty cool, open and upbeat kid. "So," he went on, "you guys have sex, and are like boyfriends or somthin?" "Well it's a little more complicated than that" I tried to explain. "But yes, we do enjoy a sex life with each other, and sometimes even with others. I love Dane with all my heart, sex or no sex, and would protect him with my life." We had finished supper and cleaned up the mess. The sun had gone and it was cooling off so we decided to change into warmer clothes. There was no one within a mile of where we were so Dane just stripped off his board shorts and pulled a duffel bag out from the back of the Passport. I smiled at Shannon and put my finger to my lips in a "ssshhh-ing" motion and went up behind Dane, and dropping to my knees kissed his wonderfully firm teen boy butt. He stopped what he was doing but didn't move and only said "mmmm". I kissed his butt again which he wiggled gently at me. I turned him around, noticed that his dick was starting to rise, and kissed his belly button, then moved a little lower, kissing my way down. By the time I got to his pubic hair, his cock was standing tall alongside my face. He had one hand on my head and must have signaled Shannon to come over because he appeared next to Dane. Shannon's groin was also at my eye level and the boxers were pointing out in the front. I reached out and, grasping the Tommies at the waist band, lowered them over his rock hard cock to his knees. He did have a nice boy cock for sure, long and of proportionate thickness. I took it in my hand and guided it to my mouth, where I kissed the soft velvety head, then cupping his beautiful hairless balls I slid my mouth over the head of his rigid cock and down the shaft about half way then slid out and back in. Dane had turned and bent down, taking one of the boy's small pink nipple in his mouth and was suckling on it like a babe. I took the throbbing piece of boy flesh from my mouth and began licking it, up and down the shaft, giving more tongue action under the head on his sensitive glans. Shannon had reached out and grasped Dane's cock and was stroking it slowly while Dane's sucking had moved upward to the boy's soft neck. His eyes were closed, head thrown back and was moaning quietly at the attention being paid to his young body, probably the first in his life. I transferred my attention to his hairless full ball sac, licking it all over and underneath and sucked one of his nuts into my mouth and gently rolled it around while I continued to stroke his cock with my hand. I became uncomfortable with the position and stood up. My cock was straining at my shorts so I untied them and took them off. I asked Shannon if we were fairly safe from being seen here. "Yes", he said. "The ranger will be coming by about ten in his truck and people in the other part of the campground just don't seem to come around down here after dark, no reason to." "Good" I answered back, "anybody cold?". Mumbled "No's". "Good" I said again and kissed Shannon full on his lips. He opened his mouth in response and while I tongued him I felt movement at my side and assumed that Dane had taken over the lower extremity, which I confirmed when I stopped kissing the young teen. I gently moved him away from the tailgate, Dane never breaking contact with the boy's cock, then got to my knees and began kissing on his slender butt, licking in the crack as I went. I pulled his white cheeks apart and explored deeper into his crack, eventually finding the edge of his anal muscle. I darted my tongue around it before actually touching it, which produced an audible gasp and jerk reflex. Dane and I both continued to work Shannon over, licking, sucking, kissing until he finally gasped, "Oh man, I think I am gonna cum". Dane took his mouth off Shannon's cock and stroked it and I stopped my stuff to watch the boy shoot, and shoot he did. "AAAAGGGHHHHHH" he moaned as his young teen dick erupted and hot sperm shot out over Dane's shoulder, trailing cum which landed across the shoulder. A second squirt hit Dane's chest just beside his nipple as the boy convulsed, his narrow hips thrusting forward automatically. I stood up and kissed him again as his breathing slowed. "God I have never done anything like that in my life before." Shannon declared. "I would never a thought that being with guys could be so fantastic. I have thought about sometimes when I jerked off but I never thought it would happen. You guys are incredible". Dane said he was glad and a moment later his hot mouth was glued to my rock hard cock. Clearly he was quite horny. I held his head as I pumped into his mouth, Shannon watching intently. "Can I try that Dane," he asked softly. Dane pulled away and told the boy to have a try, then stood up and began on my nipple. Shannon got on his knees in front of me and took my cock in his hand, commenting that it was huge, that he had never seen so big a cock before. He licked on the head then slowly put it into his virgin mouth, tonguing it as if to taste it. He tried to take the shaft in as well, but could only manage about two inches before he choked, taking it out of his mouth and coughing. I told him to take it easy, that it takes time to take a cock as big as mine in very far. Meanwhile Dane whispered in my ear, "Cody, I want to fuck you out here in the woods, in the open". I only nodded my head in assent. Dane searched in our bag and found the lube and while Shannon continued to suck and lick on my cock and fat balls, and Dane returned to slide a lubed finger into my ass and finger fucked me while kissing on the back of my neck. I reached heat pretty fast since I hadn't cum for a couple of days. Dane told Shannon to stop what he was doing then directed me to lay my upper body on the tailgate of the Honda. I did as I was told. Shannon innocently asked what was going on and Dane told him he was going to fuck me as he slathered lube on his pulsing cock. He got in behind me, asked me to spread my legs a little so that my asshole was lower, then placed the head of his hot young cock at my back door and pushed. I grunted as the head passed through the ring of muscle and continued to move slowly, deeper into my body. Shannon moved in close to observe the whole thing, stroking his long dick which had gotten very hard, very fast. I felt my baby boy bottom out, his hairs tickling my cleft. I moaned. "Fuck me Dane, oh god fuck me baby boy" and he did. Gripping my hips, he moved slowly at first, building a rhythm, drawing almost all the way out then going all the way back in. Then he picked up speed. Shannon seemed totally enthralled by the whole scene, watching closely and stoking his rock hard cock as Dane fucked me. Soon Dane was moaning along with me as he drove his teenage pole in and out of my hot ass. I wiggled back and forth a little, pushing back as well, hoping to take more of him inside of me. It didn't take long before Dane was ready to explode and he told us so, pumping faster into me, and harder and then I felt it, his hot liquid pouring into my bowels. I groaned as he pumped in squirt after squirt of sperm and he stopped, pulling my hips tight to him and grinding his hips into me as if trying to make his cock poke out the other side. He finally stopped and laid his upper body on my back for a moment, then stood up and slowly pulled his softening cock out. I had not cum and as hot as all hell. "Shannon" I panted, "put your cock in me, hurry". The hot horny teen didn't need a second invitation nor did he need lube, Dane had taken care of that. He got between my legs and followed Dane's motions, holding onto his rampant horny cock and guiding the head to my now gaping hole he slid it in. He kept moving slowly and I moaned loudly as I felt him bottom out inside of me. "Oh man Shannon your cock feels so good inside of me, now fuck me with it Shannon, fuck me like Dane did" I said. Dane watched to make sure that Shannon was ok then lubed up his hand and, getting on his knees, he reached in and grabbed onto my raging hard cock. His face was level with the fucking action and he reached in behind Shannon's legs, motioning for the boy to spread em a little then began feeling the boy's balls as he fucked me. He stopped for a moment, letting go of my cock and lubed the middle finger of his other hand. He then grabbed back on to me and put his other hand back between Shannon's legs. Shannon had not missed a beat and in fact was picking up the tempo. Sometimes when I get really hot I like to talk nasty. I just had a great fucking from Dane who was now holding onto my dick and letting the movement of Shannon fucking me to all the work. Meanwhile I had a cute young virgin teen boy with his beautiful cock buried deep in my asshole and fucking me like a dog. Ya, I was hot!! "Oooohhhh god I moaned, fuck me Shannon, fuck me hard. Ram your hot cock into me harder, oh god your cock feels sooooo good inside of me Shannon, keep going, go deeper, oh yeah." About that time, Dane slid his finger up into the boy's virgin asshole and Shannon gasped and slowed his motion for just a second. As he got used to the feeling of having movement inside his asshole and on his prostate, he renewed the tempo with vigor, again driving his boy cock hard and deep into me. Shannon began to moan loudly and fuck even harder, grinding his cock into me. We seemed to be at the same place at the same time because we both uttered a groaning "oooohhh god" and I felt his cock harden inside of me, as mine did the same in Dane's hand and we both came, hard. He had shot his first load into a hot receptacle, and it felt like a load. Despite having cum not long before I felt three convulsions on his dick as he poured his virgin young cum into me. My dick was shooting out prodigious amounts of sperm as well, some of it landing on the ground at least 2 feet from my shaking body. Dane slipped his finger out of Shannon's butt and the boy had an intake of breath at the sudden emptiness. He had also let go of my cock and Shannon slowly pulled out of my ass, and I slipped to my knees once free from the connection. "That was pretty fucking intense" I said as my breath finally slowed, "man oh man". As I slowly stood up Shannon asked if I was ok, did he hurt me. I smiled and kissed him and said, "no sweetie, you didn't hurt me, you did just great, you will make a good lover, thank you." And I kissed him again. I turned to Dane and hugged on him, and his body responded in kind, snuggling up against me as I kissed him long and passionately. "You are so awesome my sweet boy, so awesome". He smiled at me and answered back, "So are you my sweet man. Did you like taking Shannon's virginity" he asked, as he turned and gestured for Shannon to join our hug. I said that it was pretty great and kissed the boy again. When I finished, Dane kissed him also, lingering a moment in the full mouth kiss then said "I guess I will have to have him fuck me too then" he smiled. "Oh man that was so great, I never felt anything like that before, oh man. "What does it feel like", he went on, "what's it like being fucked, does it hurt, it sounds like it feels good from the way you guys talk when you are getting fucked." He looked at Dane and said that it felt good having his finger up his ass and sometimes the feelings were way intense, like Dane was hitting a feeling button or something. I explained the prostate gland to him and told him that getting fucked can be painful at first but turns hot pretty fast usually. It was getting late so we cleaned up as best we could, dressed in sweats and t-shirt, loaning a pair to Shannon, and decided to call it a night. Since his father wasn't back yet, we asked if Shannon would like to stay with us, would that be ok. He said is should be so we let the fire die down on it's own and crawled into the tent. It was hot after a few minutes so we shucked of all our clothes and lay naked on top of the sleeping bags and talked quietly. I must have fallen asleep first but was woke up by movement and looked next to me. There was still a little light from the fire and Dane was on his back, eyes closed in rapture and Shannon was at his waist, sucking on his hard cock. I smiled to myself, once again amazed at the sexual capacity of a teenage boy and fell back to sleep. I woke first in the morning, got up and rebuilt the fire and set my stove up to make coffee. I noticed an older model truck at Shannon's site and guessed his father had come back in the night apparently not concerned about his son's whereabouts. The boys crawled out a little later and I fixed breakfast for us all. Very shortly there was a bellowing from Shannon's camp site and a man came stumbling out of the tent and yelled "Shannon". "Oh man", Shannon said in a nervous voice. "My dad sounds hung over which means he's pissed. I better go." "Wait" I said, "do you think he may hurt you". When the boy nodded his head I said, "stay here, and yell to him where you are". The boy did as I asked and the man started toward our site at a fast walk. As he got close I saw that he was about my height but heavier by about thirty pounds. He was dirty, unshaven and as he got closer I could see his fists clenching. He came into our camp site saying, "What the fuck you doing down here boy, you spose to be back there" he yelled, hooking a thumb backwards. Shannon started to say something and the man cuffed him along side the head. I was on my feet and said, "don't do that again". The man turned on me, and without a word took a step forward and swung. Dane Speaks: I was watching closely from the other side of the campfire wondering what was going to happen and got up when the man hit Shannon. Then he turned when Cody spoke and walked toward him and swung. I am not sure just what happened next. I have never seen anyone move so fast and certainly not Cody. He seemed to step back from the swing and moved his arm to push it away but grabbed at the swinging wrist. His leg came up fast and kicked the man first in the stomach, then the side of his knee. Both kicks caused the man to drop. It looked like Cody's other arm somehow shot out and hammered the man in the throat forcing the mans' head backwards and while twisting the wrist in his hand the movements forced the man backwards onto his back. Cody then held the man's hand with both of his own and twisted it side ways like if you turned your hand outward away from your body. He stuffed his foot, not to gently into the man's throat holding him in place and extending the man's arm straight up while twisting the wrist. This all happened in the blink of my eye, I swear to god. I stood looking, along with Shannon, both of our mouths wide open. Back to Cody: It all happened very fast. The moves were typical martial arts protective stuff, nothing really fancy, especially when confronting someone who is ignorant of the arts. 1,2,3 and he was on his back. He tried to struggle and I told him firmly to stay still and twisted the wrist back further. He stopped moving. I asked him where his wallet was and he said it was in his truck. I told Shannon to go get it and told Dane to get me the cell phone. I must have been a little loud and forceful cause both boys jumped into action. Dane handed me the cell phone before Shannon even reached his dad's truck. I punched up Chamberlain's cell and he answered immediately. I told him we had a little situation here and that I was restraining a man who had assaulted his teenage son in front of us. I asked him how fast he could run a check on the guy. Pretty fast. By that time Shannon returned with his father's wallet. His father said he would beat the shit out of him as soon as we left. I twisted the wrist further and told him to shut the fuck up, if he said another word I would break the fucking thing. He shut up. I told Shannon to take out the driver's license and picked the phone up again and gave the name, address to Chamberlain. It looked like the numbers were also his social security so I read those off to Chamberlain as well. He said he would get back to me in ten minutes. Actually it was eight. The man's name was Henry. I told him that I was going to let go of his hand and let him up. He nodded ok. He did get up and backed away slowly, reaching into his pocket. I looked him in the eye and in a very calm voice said, "Henry, if that's a knife, and if you pull it, I am going to let you make the first move. Then I am going to take it away from you. I am going to cut you with it, call the police and have you charged with attempted murder, or at least aggravated assault and I promise you will go down for at least ten. Now, do you understand and do you believe me. He had stopped his hand and nodded his head. "Good", I smiled at him. "Why don't you sit down there at the picnic table. Would you like a cup of coffee?" he nodded yes and sat. "Would you like some breakfast?". He declined so I told the boys to go ahead and finish eating. There was no talk and I had just about finished my coffee and breakfast when the phone rang. Chamberlain started to talk, first off stating that the man was registered at a national camp area and he assumed that is where we were. I said aloud that yes we were there. Henry seemed a bit taken aback at my end of the conversation. The attorney went on to tell me about Henry Dugan. Currently collecting unemployment, seemed to be a maintenance and all round handy man. Drifts about Nevada catching work where he can never staying longer than a year in one place. Been like that for about 6 -7 years. Got some bill collectors after him. No wife that shows up anywhere, obviously has a kid and there have been a couple state investigations about neglect. Longest job seems to be at a resort in Tahoe got fired for his temper while drinking which seems to be an ongoing problem. Drives a twelve year old Dodge pickup. Got a lot more what else do you want. I told the lawyer that was about it and could he email me the stuff. He said he would fax it to my laptop so I told Dane to fire it up. Chamberlain then asked me what I wanted to do about the situation. I walked a short distance away and told him my concerns about the boy, who seems like a pretty nice kid. There was some quiet on the other end for a bit then chamberlain asked if I was thinking of keeping the kid. I told him no, but would if his life was endangered. More quiet then he said, "look, I know a guy in Montana that has a hunting lodge hotel kind of setup and is looking around for a man to help run the place. From what I see, your guy may fit the bill. Let me make a call and get back to you. Meanwhile hook the cell phone up to the laptop". I did as I was asked and about 3 minutes later the fax printed out. I took it, disconnected the phone and walked over to Henry. The boys had walked to the river side and were tossing rocks and talking. I showed henry the printout and he reacted almost like he had been head butted, then looked at me. "Who are you?" was all he could say. With a smile and calm voice I said, "I'm sorry, my name is Cody and my boy is Dane. Really I am mostly an ordinary guy who obviously has some serious connections, yes? He nodded. "Ok", I went on. "I have a little problem. I am seriously concerned for Shannon's safety where you are concerned. If I let him go with you and I find out that you have harmed him, and I will find out, then I will find you. What you have experienced and witnessed here this morning, will seem like nothing in comparison to what can and will happen to you. Do you believe me?" He nodded again. "What I would like to do is find a solution that allows all of us to rest easy and so I am waiting for another phone call. More coffee?" He nodded, looking considerably deflated. As I finished pouring, the cell phone rang. Chamberlain went right to it. The guy in Montana will give your guy a chance, if he shows up sober and cleaned up. He will give the guy a ninety day trial period, small stipend, room and board included. I interrupted, saying wait, tell Henry that and handed the phone over. Henry listened, nodding his head and after a bit asked, "What about my boy?". He continued to nod then said "ok" and handed me the phone. Chamberlain said Henry had agreed to give it a try and would leave immediately for Kalispell Montana. He gave me the name and phone number of the man Henry would be working for and I jotted it down. The boy was not a problem. There was a large ranch house on a large spread and plenty to keep a boy occupied while he wasn't in school. I said great and hung up. We were quiet a moment then Henry said quietly, his head hanging, "Why are you doing this for me". "Because I can" I answered. "And I am doing it more for Shannon than for you. He's a nice kid and he deserves much more that you are giving. You have an opportunity here Henry, don't fuck it up." I went on, "Tell you what, why don't you let Shannon come with Dane and I on our trip. I plan on heading back to Seattle on I-90 and can drop him off where you're at on the way. It would give you the chance to get started without having to worry about him and give him a chance to see some country. I'll give you this cell number so you can call anytime you want and Chamberlain's if you have any concerns. What do ya say?". He said that if Shannon wanted to do that, then it was fine with him but he had some concern in his voice. "Look, I am not trying to take your son away from you Henry, I am trying like hell to give your son a father. It's gonna be just as fine as you want to make it." He nodded ok, seemingly relieved. "I guess I should get packed up and go". And he stood and walked back to his campsite.
