Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 14:37:59 -0500 From: Dwedno Smith Subject: chapter 70 of Tunnel Hi all, As promised here is the next chapter for everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the story. I will do my best to get chapter 6 of BT out soon since I am trying to alternate between BT and Tunnel. Its almost time for everyone to settle into their houses for winter since soon (Soon in my time is anywhere from now to sometime in March LOL) travel may become tough as winter finally settles in. Before that happens many other things will have to be settled... not that we can control the seasons (LOL) its about time to celebrate Tommy's 17th birthday too so look forward to a small party and some nice sexual presents as gifts if Tommy gets lucky.... thats a small hint about the near future but right now Tommy has one thing on his mind and that is getting the porn out of the house that Bryan and Kate are about to move into. Also ahead look for fireworks as Bryan finds out the boys are mostly gay and a possible argument with Ben when he asks him why he is living with "GAYS"... There is a tease for you if any... Zack will have plenty to do with that and might strain his relationship with his brother over his big mouth...time will tell but this is what is possible in the next chapter or two... so enough hints for now enjoy Chapter 70 AND I HOPE TO HAVE MORE TO ALL SOON. Take care, Dwedno. Chapter 70. Hell breaks loose before they head back home. Stunned and in pain Tommy lay there conscious but quiet for the moment. He had no clue who struck him. "Damn who is that?" Yelled out one of voices from the end of the corridor Tommy heard. Todd got down on his knees and looked. "Oh man it's that Tommy guy." "Awww shit! We are fucking dead! Is he alive Todd?" The voice said. "I can't tell he isn't moving." "Roll him over and see." "Hell no, I already hit him with the wood like you told me to I don't want to touch him again." With that Travis looked at Mike who ran back towards him when Todd clocked Tommy. "Hold him! He said. And don't let go! We aren't done with him yet. I don't think he has learned his lesson yet we have to do a little more!" Mike grabbed him and Travis ran over by Todd and Tommy. Travis stood over Tommy who was awake and not moving now on purpose to regain his strength. "You know I hope you did some serious damage to this asshole Todd. How hard did you hit him?" "I don't know Travis all I did was swing when you yelled at me and told me to." "Well he hasn't moved since he went down so he must be knocked out good." "You don't think I killed him do you Travis?" Todd whined. "Nah just probably stunned him and knocked him out for a bit. You're not that strong and besides if you did who cares he was just a pain in the ass anyway and those other assholes will be fine without their `leader' as they call him." "Ya know he seemed like an all right kinda guy Travis, Mike said, when we all ate together and had dinner it was great and he talked to me and I didn't think he was that bad." "Well that's your problem Mike, I just think he is in the way and not worth shit!" "Wow Travis that sure seems like a pretty strong way to talk about someone you really don't know." "Shut up Todd. If I want your comments I'll ask you." "Well fine then if that's how you are gonna be I'm leavin." He threw down the wooden plank and it hit the ground and echoed loudly. "Hold it wimp! You aren't going anywhere. Take another step and you are gonna be the next one we fuck after we finish with Caleb over there!" "No way man! You aren't gonna do to me what you did to him. I watched you... no way!! You two are horrible and I only came along because you made me but no way are you gonna hurt me like you hurt him! I am outta here!" "I'm warning you stop now or I will kill you!" With that threat Todd stopped cold in his tracks. He wasn't quite sure if Travis was serious enough to kill him but he didn't want to take the chance, especially after the way he just hurt Caleb. "I'll stay but don't touch me!" "Shut up you big baby before I fuck you harder then I just fucked Caleb!" Todd didn't say anymore he just stood there quietly. Travis looked at Tommy who was still lying on the floor and now feeling pretty good with all the time he had to recuperate. "What should we do about this ass hole?" Travis said looking at Mike. "Just leave him be. I don't even think he saw who we are so we can just take care of Caleb and get out of here. We can leave them both here I am sure this kid won't say anything after the pounding he just took. He looked at Caleb. Will you kid?" He shook him some. "No I won't say anything I swear. Just please don't hurt me anymore." "Awwww listen to the little fucking spy boy cry now. He wasn't crying when he was pulling his cock and watching us on the couch was he Mike?" Travis yelled out at him. Mike just shook his head and said nothing. It was to the point now where he had enough of this and even he thought Travis had gone too far the way he hurt the boy. Travis walked back over to Caleb. "One more time and then I think we will leave you here to rot you little freakin spy!" "No! Please don't hurt me anymore. Please!" "Come on Travis he has had enough leave him be before we getin big trouble here." "From who? Bryan? That faggot is useless all he does is kiss Kate's ass! She says something and he runs... oh sure honey anything you say sweetie pie." After mocking Bryan Travis started to laugh but he was the only one laughing now. All this gave Tommy time to regain all most all his strength and with his head turned towards the three boys, Travis, Mike, and Caleb he could tell that if he got up now he would catch them all by surprise. As he watched them he slowly moved, he turned and looked at Todd who saw him. He brought his finger to his lips as if to say Shhhhh... but Todd knew already and remained quiet now even though Tommy was sitting up. It appears Todd has had enough of Travis' game and is going to let Tommy do what he has to. Tommy was now sitting up and had his gun drawn on Mike and Travis and they were so busy bitching about everything that they didn't even notice till it was too late. "OKAY ASS HOLES FREEZE AND DON'T MOVE!" Tommy yelled out as he got up the rest of the way with his gun drawn on Travis and Mike. "Todd do something!" Travis yelled out to him. "Todd isn't going to do anything for you anymore you ass hole not after you threatened him like that." "How do you know...? You were awake weren't you?" Travis asked. "Yup the whole time. I heard everything you said including that you raped Caleb." "I didn't rape him Tommy I had fun with the little spy." "Well you aren't going to have anymore fun with him because you are in deep shit ass hole!" Tommy looked past Travis to Mike. "Mike let go of Caleb and walk to me!" Tommy demanded. "Todd?" Tommy said. "Yes sir?" "Go get Bryan right now and tell him I need him here and hurry!" "Yes sir!" Todd said. With that Todd took off as Travis screamed at him not to go. He didn't listen at all as he took off on Tommy's command. Travis made a move to go after Todd but Tommy pointed his gun at him and he froze in place. "You take one more step and I'll shoot you right in the nuts you fucking ass hole rapist!" Travis said nothing nor did anything after Tommy's threat. Mike continued to walk towards Tommy once again. He stopped a few feet from him. "Yes sir what can I do for you?" "Stop calling me sir. I heard you while I was down there and you weren't any less evil then Travis was, so can the sweet talk to me!" "But honest I didn't touch him with anything but my hands Tommy. You have to believe me Travis is the only one that fucked him!" "Shut up Mike you fucking loser! Travis screamed at Mike. I thought you cared about me and I meant something to you... and this is how you show it? All the times we had alone together and in one second you stab me in the back when you fear for yourself! Fuck you too Mike! Fuck you too!" "SHUT UP YOU ASS HOLE! I am tired of hearing you!" Tommy screamed at him. With that Tommy walked over to him and pointed the gun right at his chest. "You are the lowest form of scum I have ever seen!" he said right to Travis' face. Holding the gun in his left hand he reached out with his right and grabbed Travis by the shirt and pulled him away from Caleb who at the moment was standing on his own... be that totally naked and bleeding from lower parts of his body. "Get over here scum bag! You are a worthless piece of shit!" Tommy said to Travis. He pulled Travis and he came along without a struggle. He brought him over where Mike was standing and stopped. "Get on your knees ass wipe!" Travis just looked at Tommy. "Fuck you!" he screamed out at Tommy. Tommy spun around and nailed him full force in the belly with his fist and he crumbled to the ground. He hit with a thud and moaned in pain from more than likely losing his breath since he gasped for air immediately. Tommy looked at Mike. "You too, on your knees." "Sir yes, just please don't hit me." "Do as you are told Mike and I won't touch you I promise... but one false move and you are gonna be right next to ass hole down there!" "No I swear Tommy whatever you say! I promise no funny business." With that Mike got right down on his knees and remained there quietly. "Travis I hope you can hear me you piece of shit... Mike if he moves or anything I want you to start punching him until I get back here, I am only going over to check Caleb." "Yes sir. I hear you." Said Mike. Tommy headed over to Caleb who was half out of it from the beating he took. "Caleb its Tommy can you hear me?" "Yes Tommy I hear you fine. I am hurt but he didn't hit me in the head more then once. I don't feel good Tommy he hurt my butt really bad." "I know Caleb, I know just relax and as soon as help gets here we will take you and get you cleaned up. Go rest over there against that wall." "Okay Tommy thanks." No more then five minutes later you could hear the yelling as Bryan was screaming out for Tommy. "Tommy where are you?" "Over this way!" Tommy yelled back. No sooner than he said that Bryan came around the corner with a tall kid that Tommy hadn't seen before and Todd. Both the tall kid and Bryan were carrying guns. "Wholly shit Tommy what is going on here and are you okay?" "I have been better." "Todd came screaming to us that you needed help but he didn't say much more. We ran back here as fast as we could." "Who's the big boy? I haven't seen him before." "Hi, I'm Matt. He reached out his hand to shake Tommy's hand. Nice to finally meet you. Sorry it was this way though." "Nice to meet you to Matt." "So what happened here and... just then Bryan saw Caleb against the wall behind him. What the hell happened to him?" he said to Tommy. "HE raped him!" pointing to Travis who was still laying on the ground and not moving much after Tommy pounded him in the gut. "Are you serious? He stood over Travis and looked down on him. What is wrong with you boy? Are you crazy?" Travis looked up at him and moaned out in a low tone... "Fuck you... Bryan..." and then he put his head back down on the ground. Bryan turned and looked at Tommy. "What happened to him?" "You could say he got a little stupid and I nailed him in the stomach as hard as I could. He has been down there since I hit him about a good five to ten minutes ago." "Oh well I suppose he deserved that." "And more that bastard, said Caleb. He hurt me really bad!" Everyone turned to look at beaten and naked Caleb who suddenly screamed out in anger towards Travis. Bryan looked at Todd. "Todd please go find a blanket for Caleb." "Sure thing." He took off running immediately. Bryan walked over to Caleb. "I am so sorry this happened to you Caleb. I really wanted to help you but you wouldn't listen to me. I am so sorry." He took Caleb and brought him to himself and held him. As much as Bryan wanted to be supportive right now Caleb wasn't having any of it from him. "Please let go of me Bryan." He said. Bryan backed off immediately and walked back over to Tommy and the others. Just then Todd came running back in with a blanket. He went right to Tommy and handed it to him. "Thanks Todd. He looked at him. We will talk about you hitting me after this is over!" Todd swallowed hard. "Yes sir." Tommy turned around and walked over to Caleb. "Here big guy let me put this around you." Tommy took the blanket and draped Caleb with it and once covered Caleb began to finally show emotion and he began to cry. Tommy brought the boy to him and held him and this time he didn't push anyone away. Tommy put his arm around the boy and began to walk him out. He stopped and looked at Bryan. "You got this? I wanna get him cleaned up." Bryan had a look in his face that was either disgust over all this or jealousy that Caleb went to Tommy but rejected him. Either way he looked back at Tommy and nodded. "Yes I will take care of this and make sure Travis doesn't get away." "Thanks because I still want to have a word with out rapist in private after I take care of this boy." "Sure Tommy whatever you want." He said with definite attitude. At this point there was little doubt that Bryan was frustrated with how Tommy was acting and suddenly in charge in his mall. This wasn't the time for it though with so much else having to be taken care of. He told Tommy to go take care of Caleb and went over to handle Travis with Matt's help. Tommy walked out and took Caleb back to the mattress place where he knew he would have privacy. He figured Caleb would probably not need an audience and if he went to where Bryan was living everyone would see the messed up boy so he did the next best thing that he could think of and took him back where he slept last night. At least there they would have a place to get Caleb cleaned up and then get some clothes on him afterwards. Together they walked the ten minutes or so back to the mattress store and went inside. Tommy walked Caleb to the bathroom in the rear of the store. It was a full bathroom including a shower so at least the boy could take a shower. "Caleb let me have the blanket and you can go in and take a shower in private. I'll wait out here for you." "Thanks Tommy but after all that I don't know if I am ready to be alone yet." "I understand but I cannot come in the shower with you. I will be right here okay?" "Sure I guess that's okay." He took the blanket off of his frail body and handed it to Tommy exposing himself as he did so. For eleven years old he didn't have much to worry about even though Tommy didn't mean to look he couldn't help but notice that Caleb had a bit of size to himself. At this point he didn't even think that the shy little boy cared who saw him. He turned and headed into the shower. The horror was behind him. He turned on the water. Tommy waited outside patiently as Caleb moaned and cried out from the water hitting the sensitive spots of his battered body. "You okay Caleb?" "Yes, he yelled out. Its just that the soap and water stings where I am hurt." "Okay sorry to hear that." The rest of the shower went on with occasional moans and groans as Caleb did his best to wash the funk off his body from Travis and days if not weeks of not bathing too. Besides the obvious its any wonder how Travis was able to do what he did to the boy in the condition he was in not showering for so long. I suppose anyone as demented as Travis was with all the supposed power going to his head just did what he wanted to and ignored the stink from Caleb but that's just an opinion...who really knows the mental condition of Travis then. While Caleb was showering Tommy snuck away and found him a towel and some sweat pants. He couldn't find anything more close by and he didn't want to leave Caleb alone. At least he could dry off and put something on his lower body. He could take care of the rest afterwards. He hurried back to find Caleb still in the shower and he yelled in to make sure he was okay. "Caleb are you okay in there?" "I'm not sure Tommy. The bleeding has stopped but I am so sore I wish I could tell if anything is hurt bad. Is there anyway that you can tell?" Tommy having dealt with this before on several different occasions sorta knew what was happening. Between Shawn and Jon he sadly had experience. "Yes I know something about what to do Caleb but it won't be fun at all." "I didn't think it would be and I am sure you have to do something I won't like but I really need help Tommy." "Okay when you come out and dry off I will do my best Caleb." "Okay." He finished up and turned off the water. He pulled back the shower curtain and looked like a clean boy for the first time in weeks. Too bad it was under these circumstances. There was some bruising that Tommy noticed but he looked a lot better then before he went in. Smelled a lot better too! "Wow you look..." "Its okay Tommy you can say it I can take it." "No, no Caleb... you look cute." Caught totally off guard Caleb blushed and his face immediately turned red. Tommy handed him the towel and the once briefly modest boy now quickly wrapped the towel around his waist covering up his privates and got out of the shower. Tommy noticed what he did and did his best to excuse himself. "I am gonna wait outside Caleb when you need me yell I have sweat pants for you." "Thank you Tommy." With that Tommy turned and left the area. Tommy walked away and noticed the clock was already at 10:30. Damn! The whole morning flew and the boys would be back soon. No sooner did he notice the time, Caleb called for him. Tommy walked in and the boy had the towel wrapped around his waist and was looking for something to wear. "You have something for me to wear Tommy?" "Sure, one second. He turned and grabbed for the sweat pants. Here ya go cutie." Caleb wasn't sure how to read him but he sure liked to be called that. He suddenly felt wanted and needed inside for the first time in a long time... probably since the comet hit. Apparently Tommy has hit it on the nose perfectly with another boy, not on purpose but that's just the way it goes with him. Caleb took the sweats, turned his back and dropped the towel exposing his very cute small butt cheeks to Tommy and pulled the sweats on in front of him. When they were up to his waist he turned back to face him once again. "There all done." He said, "Feel better?" "Yes, thanks Tommy that is the best I have felt in a long time minus the pain from what Travis did to me." "Yeah I know and I want you to understand that if you want to talk about it I will be here for you and I will find a way for you to come back with us to cutie. I can't leave you here Travis would probably kill you if I did." "You mean it Tommy? I can come back with you and the others?" "Yes you can." He smiled widely and ran to him and gave him a hug. Tommy hugged the half naked boy who now smelled good after his shower and looked a whole lot nicer with a few pounds of dirt off him. "Do you want me to see how badly you are hurt back there?" "I don't know Tommy. I want someone to check me but its so embarrassing." "Well then we won't do it, I don't want to embarrass you Caleb. When you are ready, okay?" "Yes, I guess when I am ready I will come to you and you can look. Just not right now." "Sure." "Thanks Tommy." "Come on we need to get some clothes on you." "Thanks Tommy." He smiled. He followed him out into the mall and they walked a bit and found a clothing store for children and went inside. "Okay Caleb pick what you want and then you can dress properly." He smiled at Tommy and looked for what he wanted. It just took a few minutes and he grabbed a shirt and put it on and then he walked over and found some socks and underwear and right in front of Tommy, although a good ten feet away Caleb dropped his sweats and pulled the new underwear on covering the sweet dangling tool that hung in front of him in clear view of Tommy for a few seconds. Then he took the sweats he was wearing and put them back on. He looked at Tommy. "I like these I am gonna keep them okay?" "Sure." Tommy said with a smile. By now it was almost 11am and the boys were already out in the hall making noise. They weren't that far away from the mattress store. "Okay Caleb put on some sneakers and please hurry they are back and I need to meet them. I will wait for you outside." "Okay I'll be right out." Tommy turned and headed out of the store and yelled down to the boys. "Hey guys I am over here." He walked towards them with an obvious limp in his walk from his pained back and almost all of them immediately saw this and before he could get to them they were all over him trying to find out what happened. A few were yelling out to him asking if he was ok. "Okay, okay guys please calm down and I will explain." Kyle immediately went up to his brother and gave him a hug. Tommy winced in pain as Kyle applied the hug and he immediately backed off. "Tommy what's wrong?" "Okay listen up. There was a big problem while you guys were shopping. I am not going to get into details and explain it all right now but I got hit with a big piece of wood from one of the kids here." Someone yelled out lets kill them! "Okay, okay calm down. I will be okay now let me finish, no one is killing anyone! To explain this as easily as possible Caleb was attacked by Travis and Mike from the other group I walked in on it and got smacked with a piece of wood. Long story short... Caleb was hurt pretty bad, I got knocked down and got my revenge on Travis who is now as close to under arrest as anyone can be. Bryan took care of him while I took care of Caleb. There is more but that's all you need to know right now." "But how is your back bro?" "Sore but I will be okay. Don't know about Travis though he got me mad." "What did you do kill him?" someone yelled out from the group. "Almost. He pissed me off to the wrong level and lets just say he was on the ground for a while." A few of the boys laughed and then out of the store came Caleb and everyone looked at the new Caleb who was showered and somewhat nicely dressed. He even combed his hair. Shawn was the first to speak up. "Wow! What did you do to him TJ he is really cute now!" The entire group started to laugh as Shawn ran over to greet Caleb. "Looks like you have some competition now TJ." Jon said to him as everyone heard him. Tommy looked at Jon. "How about I make a bet with you that no matter what he comes back here and hugs me after he is done checking out Caleb." That brought a bunch of comments from the others towards Jon who suddenly grew quiet. "The power of love is an amazing thing Jonathan. Care to take that bet?" "No TJ because I know how much Shawn cares about you so I doubt you would be wrong." That brought more busting to Jon. "When am I gonna learn to keep my mouth shut?" he said aloud which brought giggles and laughs from some of the boys. Shawn spent a minute with Caleb and then turned and headed back to the group with Caleb not far behind. Not only did Shawn come back and do exactly what Tommy said he hugged him and then Caleb came over and gave him a quick one too in front of the boys. Tommy looked at Jon and said nothing. He didn't have to everyone else attacked him for opening his mouth and ironically Tommy had to quiet them down and stop them from harassing Jon. "I'll never learn!" Jon said as the others close enough to him heard and laughed. "Okay boys due to what has happened I have made a decision and like it or not I have invited Caleb back with us." Shawn went crazy when he heard that and the others just mumbled things. Someone said so what else is new and Zack said something but Tommy didn't hear him however DJ did and smacked him upside the head. He yelled out in pain and shut his mouth after that. He forgot that Tommy gave DJ free reign over him on the bus and he opened his mouth at the wrong time and got smacked for it so now he has to watch what he says because he can get it whenever it is needed to keep him in his place. "Where is he gonna stay?" Danny asked. "I'm not sure yet but I have an idea. After I work it out with someone I will let all of you know." "Are you really okay Tommy?" asked Jordy. "Let's say that I am in a lot better shape than Travis is but I need to heal a bit." Jordan smiled at him and he too gave him a quick soft hug. There was little doubt that the boys cherished Tommy on some level even though they also did what they could to piss him off almost as much as they behaved. It was part of the deal. "Okay look I haven't even had a chance to talk to Bryan about coming with us so I need to still get over there and talk to him. Kyle make sure everyone loads the bus with all their stuff. Jon please take Caleb and someone else along and get him enough clothes to wear so when he gets back he doesn't need to go shopping and I am once again going to meet with the others to discuss some of them moving back with us." Caleb heard this for the first time and went over to Tommy. "Who is moving back with us Tommy?" "Bryan and Kate and a few others I think." "Oh great! He said aloud, I thought I was going to get away from them." "Relax Caleb they aren't moving in with us just coming back to stay in another house." "Ohhhh. Well that's okay I guess." "Shawn I need to talk to you for one second." I took hold of Shawn and we walked away from the group. "Look love I want you to do me a favor." "Sure anything TJ." "Find a way to get your friend alone and tell him about how we live okay?" "You mean just tell him about all of us and that we are gay and all that?" "Exactly. I don't want him learning about it when he gets there and since you are pretty close with him he should have very little problem with you explaining it to him." "Well okay if you want me too." "You can do it Shawn, right?" "I guess so its just weird telling another guy about it when you don't know if he is or not." "Yeah but Shawn you and him have both been through the same thing he will understand you when you talk to him about it." "What do you mean...? Shawn paused and thought... Ohhh TJ... he gasped. Was he raped too?" Tommy shook his head yes. "Ohhhh now I understand why you want me to talk to him." "Yes alone... you get me...?" "Now I do and then tell him about the gay stuff after that." "Exactly cutie. I know you can do that." "Yup sure can." "Thanks love." I leaned over and gave him a kiss on top of the head. "Love you TJ." "Love you too my cute boy. I'll be back in a bit you have that talk with him." "Gotcha." Shawn went over by Caleb and asked him to talk privately and Tommy headed over to the other group once again. It should be quite interesting to see what they have done to Travis when he gets there and he needs to have a talk with Todd and a talk with Mike too both privately. Soon he arrived there and was greeted by Todd. It just so happened he was outside in the area when he got there. Todd walked over to him quickly when he looked up and saw him heading his way. "Tommy I am..." "Save it Todd. We will talk about it later then you can have your say okay?" "Yes sir." "Where is Bryan?" "He brought Travis and Mike to lock up." "Lock up?" "Yes there is a small jail in here apparently for stuff like this so Bryan and Matt took Travis and Mike there." "I see can you show me where it is?" "Sure. Anything for you Tommy. Follow me." He followed him for a bit and they went down a flight of steps and sure enough Matt was at the bottom and Bryan a few feet in front of him. There were two cells one on either side of the hall. Mike was in one and Travis who was sitting and obviously still in some kind of pain was in the other. "Bryan." Tommy called out. "Oh hi Tommy. Just in time to see them locked up." "I see that. Very convenient." "Yeah now all I have to do is figure out what else to do." "How about just leave them there to rot?" Tommy said. "No I don't think so. How is Caleb?" "He should be okay I left him with the others after a shower and some clean clothes." "Great." Bryan said. "I wouldn't worry too much about them since we had that talk and you need to know what we decided." "Great. You can tell me right now if you want I don't care who hears it." "Okay if you want that's fine with me. The group met with me and everyone decided that you are welcomed to come live with us." "That's awesome!" Bryan said. "Any idea who is coming with you?" "I didn't plan on taking anyone except Kate and Joel." "Oh, okay I thought you might take a few boys with you." "I didn't think about it do you know how many rooms we are gonna have in our place?" "Yeah pretty sure at least four maybe five bedrooms." "Oh well then we can take at least three right?" "That's your call. You are in charge of that house so you decide who goes. Only thing is I have a feeling one of my boys might ask you to move in." "Really? I thought they all cared about you and wanted to stay there." "Not all but most." "All this is premature but I guess we can take three with us and that leaves room for at least one and if others want to come I guess they can just sleep in the basement or just not have their own room." "Again that's your call but at least two of the rooms have bunk beds so you can probably offer two boys to share two rooms. Like I said its your call. I will leave you my cell number in case you get lost or have any questions." "That's good I know about where you are but not exactly." "No problem. Here is my cell number." Tommy handed him a paper with the number on it. "We are gonna leave soon but if possible I would like to know what you plan to do with these two and if you know who is coming back with you." "Let me think on that since its all new and run it by Kate then I will see you off." "Sure." "Let me think about that and run it by Kate... came from the cell. Travis was mimicking Bryan. You know Bryan even with me locked up you still make me sick the way you kiss the woman's ass." "Just shut up you low life!" Bryan said. "Fuck you jerk off!" "Bryan let me have the key and a few minutes alone if you don't mind I want to have a talk with both boys before I go." "Here be my guest and we will be upstairs and totally out of ear shot so whatever happens I don't want to know and I won't hear a thing." Bryan looked into Travis' cell. "You know ass hole there is just one key and if I take it with me you die in there. So you might want to kiss my ass before I leave!" Bryan turned and walked out after that without waiting for a reply. Matt went with him and Tommy was all alone with both boys now. He looked at Travis and shook his head. "Fuck you Tommy!" he said. "Maybe I will do that to you before I leave." Tommy said mockingly back at him. "Fuck you ass hole!" he said once again. "What a mouth! I am gonna have fun shutting it before I go." He gave him the finger. Tommy turned and looked at Mike. Without a doubt Mike was a whole lot more quiet and scared right now. "So Mike what do you think would happen if I put you in the same cell with Travis?" "No please don't do that I beg you he will probably kill me." Tommy took the key and opened the door to Mike's cell. He went inside and sat next to him on the five foot long bench. "This place is awful small, he said as he looked Mike in the face barely a foot away from him as he sat there. What do you think would happen if I put both of you in the same cell Michael? Do you think you would live?" "Please, I am begging you not to do that." He began to whimper and a tear rolled down his face. Travis was standing at the bars trying to watch and see what was happening. "Awww is poor little Mikey crying for you?" "I'll be right back Mike I think I need to shut up dumb ass over in the other cell first." Tommy put the key in the door and opened it and before he could even pull the door open enough to get in Travis tried to rush him and take control of Tommy. Tommy who was still seeing red over what he did to Caleb reached back as Travis swung at him and he ducked the punch and swung one time nailing Travis square in the chin. He went down like a ton of bricks and passed out. Mike cheered as this happened. Tommy, not one to totally humiliate anyone had more then enough of Travis and dragged him out into the open. Once there he stripped him of all his clothes and then dragged him back inside as he began to wake from Tommy's punch. Of course that was also aided with a glass of water that Tommy threw at him once back inside. Tommy stood back and watched as Travis came to with Mike also at the bars and watching. Travis was all of three inches soft and the first thing Tommy did once he realized what was happening was he called him little dick. Mike started laughing out loud as Travis suddenly became a bit humble and turned red in the face. "So little dick you don't seem to have much to say now do you?" He didn't say a word. "You know Mike I think that maybe we should handcuff Travis here and parade him out in the mall dressed this way so everyone of my boys and your guys can see him soft and small. Look at those little testicles he has too! Tommy was pouring it on and Travis could do nothing but take it. Hey Travis how is it that your balls are the same size as your brain? Both of them together?" Mike was laughing so loud he began to cough. Travis was totally humiliated as he tried in vain to cover his privates with his hands. Tommy took out a pair of handcuffs and showed them to Travis. "Look what I got here. You wanna take a walk with me smart ass?" "No please don't do that to me. Please!!" "Wow Mike listen to him beg. Hey Mike is that sorta how Caleb begged when he was fucking him?" "No Tommy Caleb was crying not begging." "Shut up Mike you aren't helping me." "Shut up? Tommy said. That's not nice." Tommy opened the door to his cell and walked in. "You can do this the easy way or the hard way? Which do you want?" "Neither. I would rather die then let you cuff me! Go fuck yourself!" Tommy not being one to be out foxed threw the handcuffs up in the air and when Travis watched them fly he slugged him once in the jaw and Travis fell over on his side. Tommy then took the cuffs and put them on him with his hands behind his back. Then he went over and sat with Mike. "Now what about you Michael? How shall you serve your punishment for what you did to Caleb?" "You aren't going to parade me around like you plan on doing to him are you?" "No you weren't quite that bad and you actually listened when I confronted you." "Honestly Tommy please... I only did what he told me to because I was scared of him and I didn't know what he would do if I didn't listen." "Really so when you were helping him as Travis was fucking Caleb you weren't enjoying it at all?" He lowered his head and began to cry. "I guess that says it all. Tommy said. You really are as guilty as Travis aren't you?" He shook his head yes as the tears fell on his pants leg. Tommy was only trying to see how far Mike would go since he didn't know what happened before he got there. "So since you are as guilty shouldn't we strip you naked and make you run thru the mall like you did to Caleb?" "Noooo please!!!" he looked at Tommy with fear in his face. "But you allowed Caleb to take off scared to death, of both of you and run to Bryan in his underwear that time didn't you?" He shook his head yes. "And you enjoyed that too didn't you?" He began to cry harder as Tommy asked more questions. "I know I was wrong but please Tommy I swear... please don't make me do that it will kill me!" "I'll think about it." Tommy got up and went back over to Travis who was half out of it now and grabbed a handful of hair. "Come on you sissy boy time for you to get yours." He yanked him by the hair and slowly Travis got up. "Walk! Tommy said. He wouldn't move. Okay Travis you wanna do this the hard way." He went around and grabbed a handful of his balls and tugged. Travis almost fell to the ground from the pain before Tommy let go. Breathing hard and with tears in his eyes he caught his breath. "So you going to move this time or do I pull them off?" "No you win Tommy, you win I give up." He said totally disgraced. He got up and Tommy got behind him and pushed him up the steps one at a time. At the top they were in the corner of the mall and he led him by the arm totally naked around to where the others were staying. "Hey guys come on down." Tommy yelled out. Slowly a group of them came down and began laughing at what they saw. Bryan came down and he did his best not to laugh but he smiled. "What the hell are you doing?" Bryan asked. "Humiliation my friend. This boy seemed to think he was a know it all and wise mouth so I proved him wrong. You see now the rapist is standing here totally naked with his little dick hanging out for all to see. What is worse than that? What is worse than what he did to Caleb?" No one was laughing now as Tommy spoke and every single person including Kate who had just got there and was standing there looking and listening to Tommy. "So this is something that Travis the smart mouth boy will have to live with for the rest of his life. Am I wrong? Maybe I went a bit too far but over all he isn't really being beaten he is just being demoralized in front of everyone that might have respected or liked him at one time." "We understand what you are doing Tommy but honestly this isn't any better then what he did to Caleb is it?" "Bryan how can you ask that question? He took that little thing there... Tommy pointed at his soft dick and stuck it inside the butt of Caleb... how can you call this wrong when he hurt a boy that he is six years older then?" "Okay well you do what you want to but I think you are wrong and I cannot be a part of it. Come on Kate lets go back upstairs." Bryan turned to leave and gently grabbed Kate's arm. "No Bryan you can go if you like but as wrong as this might be I understand what Tommy is doing. We will be leaving in a few days but this young boy will still be here and who knows what terror he will do to the others that stay? Maybe this will teach him a lesson or he can just stay in that jail and be lucky if someone feeds him occasionally." Bryan stood there listening to Kate make sense. He didn't say much else but a tear did roll down the cheek of Travis and he was finally a broken 17 year old boy. So it appeared. She walked over to him and picked his face up with her hand and looked into his eyes. "Travis if we stop this right now you have to go apologize to Caleb and swear that you will never hurt another person ever! Can you do that?" He couldn't answer as another tear rolled down his face. Kate looked at Tommy. "You know Tommy I don't think we are getting thru to him. Why don't you parade him down the mall to your boys and back and see if that changes his mind." "Kate you are almost as evil as me." Tommy chuckled. "Come on naked boy lets take a walk and see if you change your mind." A few of the boys laughed as Tommy led him away and somewhere deep inside there was some emotions stirring inside of Travis that almost made him appear to totally lose his mind. The walk was quiet and not a word was spoken. Tommy arrived at the mattress store and every one of his boys came out and saw what he was doing including Caleb. "Caleb this is for you. This is what we are doing to punish the boy who raped you." Caleb walked over to him and looked at him. "Why did you do that to me?" he said. Travis didn't answer him. He asked again. "Why did you hurt me like that?" Travis remained silent. Caleb looked at Tommy and then at Travis. "You hurt me a lot and I will never forgive you for that." Then without any thought or idea that this was going to happen Caleb made a fist and punched Travis square in the nuts and he went down so fast that even Tommy couldn't hold him up. Then entire group of boys let out a gasp that sounded more like a train letting off steam. Travis hit the floor and just lay there shaking and whimpering while Caleb stood over him. The scene was almost impossible to explain anymore than that. The place was dead silent after that and the only thing you could hear was Travis trying to catch his breath as he sorta foamed at the mouth from the pain. Even Tommy felt bad and uncuffed him while he waited for him to come back to life. No one offered anymore help to him but no one left either. A good ten minutes later Travis finally spoke. "Tommy please give me some water." "Get me water please?" Tommy asked one of the boys. A few seconds later Danny came back with a cup of water and he handed it to Travis. He sat up slowly and took a sip and started to cough. He took another sip and swallowed it. He threw the cup aside and called to Tommy. "Okay you win, he said in a very low voice. Please take me back to my cell. Anything is better then what you are doing to me. I am sorry... I give up." He lowered his head and Tommy motioned for some help. Jon helped Tommy lift him and Jeremy brought over a blanket and placed it over his shoulders. Travis was finally beaten and Tommy walked him slowly back to the other side without any problems or handcuffs. When they got there he sat him down on a chair outside the cell and after sitting next to him he attempted to talk to him. "You know this isn't what I had planned. I don't feel sorry for you but I am sorry that Caleb hit you that hard in the nuts. I have a feeling you now understand what you did to him but no matter what you did get some payback for hurting the boy. As far as I am concerned you are free to get dressed and leave here. I would expect you never come back here and you find some place to live elsewhere." Travis sat there and listened quietly as Tommy spoke to him. After he finished Travis didn't speak for a few minutes. Finally he got up slowly and looked at Tommy. "Okay Tommy fair enough as soon as I feel better I will get dressed and get as far away from here as I can. Please take me back to my cell and just leave me there. I will get dressed as soon as I feel better." Tommy did as he asked and then left him alone and brought Mike up from below. He gave him a stern talking to and told him exactly what happened to Travis and after he turned practically solid white he agreed to apologize to Caleb and also to leave the mall and never return. A fitting punishment I suppose but who is right and who is wrong in this case. Is there any justice for what Travis did to Caleb? That is for the individual person to decide. Not me. Mike did talk to Caleb and tell him he was sorry. Caleb didn't punch Mike in the nuts after it was over but they didn't hug or do anything more either. It was close to 1pm and Mike was last seen carrying his belongings and walking out the front door of the mall. Scared and dejected but at least free to move on alone. Tommy eventually did get to talk to Bryan more about moving with them but the mood was lost after this happened and Tommy left Bryan with him saying he would be coming in a few days, Kate was more upbeat and told Tommy everything would be okay and as soon as Bryan adjusted to this whole mess he would probably be back to normal soon. Tommy left his cell number with Kate too just incase Bryan lost or misplaced his copy and told her to call when they were on their way and also that Caleb was coming with them so she wouldn't have to worry about him anymore. She said she would call and she was ok with Caleb leaving and gave Tommy a peck on the cheek and that left just one thing to do before returning to his boys. He found Todd and sat with him privately for a few minutes. Todd promised he would never be a part of anything like that again even though he was forced into it and apologized to Tommy about a dozen times for hitting him with the wood. He made it clear that he was forced to do it by Travis. Tommy accepted his apology and before he left to go back to the others Todd gave him a hug and he to shed a tear over hurting Tommy. It was just before 2pm when everything and everyone was loaded on the bus. Tommy was just about to get on and start it up when Zack asked him of he could talk to him for a minute. They stepped outside of the bus into the cold for a quick chat. "Look Tommy I have been thinking about this and as much as we don't get along I was wondering if I could have your permission to talk to Bryan when he gets there and maybe live under his roof." "What about Jordan?" "I don't know. I haven't told him this yet and I don't know what to expect from him." "Then I suggest you talk it over with him and if he agrees you can talk to Bryan. Just don't expect any miracles and easy answers with Bryan. He can probably be tough to live with too." "Yeah but he isn't gay." "Okay enough said. Get on the bus and when you get time talk to your brother and see what he says. Then let me know." Zack didn't say anymore he just got into the bus and took his seat. Shawn had a long and private talk with Caleb before they got on the bus while Tommy was away with the others. Caleb told him that he wasn't sure if he was gay or not yet but he did admit to Shawn that he enjoyed watching Travis and Mike do what they did together. He also accepts that Shawn is gay and he thanked him for being so honest and still wants to be his friend.He told Tommy all this before they left. They also talked about Shawn being hurt by the men. He told Caleb a lot about it. Caleb agreed that if or when he was ready to talk he would either talk to him or Tommy but he wasn't ready to discuss it with anyone just yet. Either way it appeared that Caleb and Shawn were going to be friends on some level. They sat next to each other on the bus. Ben also asked Tommy for some private time and headed over to see his brother before they left. He gave him a hug and told him he would see him soon. Tommy checked everything after Ben got back and once the bus was secure he got on shut the door and started it up. They were on their way home and away from the mall from hell. As the bus pulled away from the front doors, in the shadows of the corner of the mall stood Travis. He watched the bus leave and somewhere deep inside his mind he swore he would get even with Tommy for what he did to him inside the mall. That is the last we know of him for now. All that's left is where he winds up in the future. To be continued.... dwednomail@hotmail.com Ahead.... In chapter 6 of BT...

Also with Travis lurking in the shadows will he leave things be and be good to his promise or start trouble one more time since Tommy is gone and Travis' biggest threat is gone with Tommy out of the way... or might he just follow them to their new home and reek havoc on them there? Also in the future the firebug will be back and could start a fire close to home.
