Tommy and Tanner,
Chapter 40

During their time together, Tommy, Tanner, Andy, and Devin made plans about
how they were going to spend the summer.  It would be a fairly busy one
given all they had in mind to do.

Todd had offered them a few hours working as bag-boys at the supermarket
which would give them extra cash and work experience for future resumes.
They planned to keep up their mowing business, practice their swimming
skills, take drivers' education (three of them), and hopefully camp and
have some other fun as well.

They talked to Tucker to see if he'd be interested in taking on some of the
smaller mowing jobs that were closer to home.  He was delighted, and asked
if Bobby could get involved as well.  The others thought that would work
out fine.

Devin was the oldest of the four by a few months.  He would celebrate his
16th birthday on Monday and hoped to pass his driver's test that day.  He
didn't know how soon he'd be getting a car, but at least he'd be ready when
he could find one.  He'd been saving money, and the summer jobs would help
supplement what he had already.

The other three were invited to his house to a birthday party and sleepover
whether or not he passed his test.  His parents were sure he would because
they'd sent him to a reputable driving school, but it was always remotely
possible that he'd get nervous and mess something up.

When Tark dropped his sons and Andy off for the party, they were met by a
smiling boy holding his shiny new license up for everyone to see.  Because
of his age, it had some restrictions, such as how late he could legally be
on the road, but it was still a rite of passage that most boys hold dear.

Charley and Cathy had arranged to leave work early that day.  Charley had
taken Devin to the testing station while Cathy had worked on the
celebratory meal.  Everything was perfect for this important birthday.

The twins were excited to have company too.  Nick had adopted Andy as
another brother since he was around so much.  But, he also seemed to enjoy
having Tommy and Tanner to join him in playing with cars and trucks on the
family room floor.  Nikki vied for their attention too.  She thought of
Andy as HER special friend.  The boys, of course, did their best to give
equal time to both.

Charley grilled hamburgers from low-fat ground beef to complement the
vegetable dishes that Cathy had whipped up.  Everything was delicious and
the ratio of protein to carbs was well thought-out.

After everyone had sung to Devin and the cake had been served, Charley made
an announcement about Devin's big gift.

"There is both sadness and happiness surrounding this present.  Cathy's
father has Alzheimer's disease and has had to give up driving.  So, his
grandparents signed over the pickup to Devin.  Here are the keys, Son.
It's parked around the corner on the side street so we could surprise you."

The excited boys followed Devin out to inspect his new set of wheels.  The
vehicle was a small club-cab Toyota with a shiny silver finish.  It was
five years old, but in showroom condition.  In addition to its other
features, it had a receiver-type hitch that would be ideal for pulling the
trailer that the riding mower fit on.  The logistics of moving equipment to
various job-sites had been one of their concerns in expanding their
business.  Now they wouldn't have to schedule around Tim or their parents.

The small back seat would accommodate a couple of guys if they folded up
their bodies like pretzels.  It wouldn't be great for a long trip, but was
certainly adequate for around town and could even be doable for a camping
trip.  Devin was elated to say the least.

He drove it around the block and parked it in the drive.  Then he pulled
out his phone and called to thank his grandparents.

----------

Without scout camp to look forward to, the Torrance boys wanted to do some
weekend getaways and hoped to have at least a week of camping somewhere.

Tommy and Tanner soon got the chance and were somewhat surprised by who it
was that wanted to take them.

Drake sent a text to Tommy asking if he and Chris could take Tanner and him
to a state park over the next weekend.  Their motive was to be with a
couple of gay friends instead of a bunch of their peers that would inhibit
them from doing the kinds of things they had in mind.  They had planned to
include Andy and Devin, but those boys had to work at the supermarket.

Drake could use the family SUV to provide room for all the food and camping
equipment.  Tommy and Tanner would furnish the tents, camp stove, and other
items that the older boys' families didn't own.

Drake and Chris figured it would look better in the eyes of their parents
if they were with a few other boys instead of just going together.  Perhaps
they were paranoid, but it seemed to them that some members of the families
were concerned about their closeness.  So far, neither family had heard any
rumors about Tommy and Tanner's orientation, so the guys weren't worried
about being considered gay by association.

Tark and Teri gave permission readily because it would let their sons enjoy
a short trip without having to depend on the family for transportation.
They both had high opinions of Chris and Drake, having had both of them in
class at one time or other.

Andy and Devin were a bit envious of Tommy and Tanner, but said the four of
them could do the same kind of thing later in the summer if they could all
schedule time off together.  Weekends were difficult because that was the
supermarket's busiest days.  The Torrance boys were commissioned to check
out the campground so they'd know the best spots to sign up for.

----------

To ensure they would have the whole weekend, Chris and Drake came over to
load everything up on Friday night.  That would give them two nights
together in a tent away from the `rents in order to do anything they wanted
to do.

The trip took less than an hour and a half, so there was plenty of daylight
for setting up.  The boys chose a spot that had a couple of large trees for
shade, and that was located in a more or less private area.  Drake and
Chris appreciated the remote location, but were concerned about having to
pee and being far from the facilities.  Tommy told them that every tree was
a potential urinal and that they were welcome to piss anywhere but on the
tents or tarps.

The younger two took charge of setting up camp while instructing the
novices on how to do it.  They laid out the tents at right angles, with the
doors near each other.  They placed a plastic tarp at that corner so that
they wouldn't track dirt and grass into the tents.  Tanner looked at the
gathering clouds and suggested that they erect the dining fly in a manner
that would act as a kind of roof over the tarp in case of rain.  Using a
rope to suspend one corner securely from a tree, they put it about seven
feet up and staked the opposite point to the ground.  The other two corners
were secured with ropes and pegs to a height about four feet above the
ground.  Its lean-to shape would help divert water away from the front of
the tents.

When all was organized on the outside, each couple worked on inflating air
mattresses and laying out their sleeping accommodations.  Drake and Chris
had borrowed a pair of matching sleeping bags from the Torrance's and had
brought along a couple of bed sheets at Tommy's suggestion.  Those would
serve to keep the bags cleaner and provide a light covering if the nights
turned out to be unusually warm.

All four went to the toilet facility together.  The shower area was like
many high school locker rooms equipped with six shower heads and no
privacy.  That, of course, didn't faze friends who were used to being naked
together, although they did chub up a little thinking about what would be
happening later.

As they were showering, a man who looked to be in his 30's came in with a
boy who was probably 11.  The man undressed without hesitation and turned
on the faucets at one of the unoccupied spots.  His son stripped slowly,
never taking his eyes off the crotches of the teens.  When he finished, he
ran to the other free spot and turned to face the wall.  It was a quick
move, but not fast enough to prevent the boys from seeing his boner.  For a
young boy with no pubic hair showing, he was well endowed.

The man got out drying off and dressing first, and the four boys followed
shortly after.  The boy's father said he was going back to their camper and
for him to hurry along.  After the man left, the youngster turned around
and stroked in front of the boys, wearing nothing but a cheeky grin.  They
smiled and gave him thumbs up as they left.

----------

Back at the tents, Drake and Chris said they were going right to bed since
it had been a long day.  When Tommy suggested that it would be an even
longer night, the older boys giggled.  He and Tanner were going to go for a
walk while it was still light enough to do so.

They headed toward a wooded area where there wasn't likely to be anyone
else at that time of the evening.  Once out of sight from other camps, they
melted into each other's arms.  Dressed in only thin gym shorts, each could
feel the other one's "tent pole" rising.  Their kisses became more
passionate in the process.  The change in atmospheric pressure preceding
the impending storm served to heighten their excitement.

Tommy was on his knees pulling Tanner's shorts down when the boys heard the
rustling of leaves.  They both froze in place wondering who or what was
there.  Neither boy dared to breathe.  A small fox trotted by on the path a
few seconds later.  The boys both let out a collective sigh of relief, but
the magic of the moment was ruined.

"Let's go back and mess around in the tent where it's safe!" Tommy
suggested.  "I want to continue what I started, but it feels kinda chilly
out here now."

"Maybe we can both finish what you started and get a bedtime snack in the
process," Tanner joked.  "Let's hold hands on the way back."

They had barely gotten into their tent when the storm began.  At first it
was a soft patter of raindrops, but that soon gave way to a downpour.  A
flash of lightning produced a heavy rumble a few seconds later.  Chris and
Drake sprang apart as if they'd been hit by it.  Tommy and Tanner didn't
miss a beat, or should one say a stroke?  Having made love under similar
conditions in the past, they paid no attention to it.

Drake and Chris settled down together again.  They had both already cum
once and had been close when the storm's sound-effects interrupted them.
It didn't take them long to get back to their previous level of intensity.

Their first time of the evening had happened very quickly, almost before
they expected it.  Having to keep their mutual affection under wraps at
home all the time left them with few chances to make love.  They were
definitely looking forward to the fall when they'd be able to room
together.

"Let's see how long we can hold off," Chris whispered after he let Drake's
cock slip out of his mouth.  "This is awesome!"

"Okay, but I'm really close," Drake panted.

Chris stopped stimulating his lover, turning around to kiss his lips
gently.  They remained in their tight embrace for several minutes while
moving their bodies together just enough to keep them aroused.  After 15
minutes or so, they could no longer hold back.

"I'm gonna cum!"  Drake gasped.

Chris turned his body around in time to take Drake's load.  Drake swallowed
Chris's cock as quickly as he could and was rewarded for his efforts with a
goodly supply of boy nectar.  Both moaned and whimpered as they continued
to feel the aftershocks.

Tommy and Tanner, who were nearly asleep, giggled loud enough for their
buddies to hear them.

"Are you through getting piece so we can get some peace and quiet?" Tommy
snickered.

"Shut up and go to sleep," Drake giggled.  "We've had our fun for the
night."

----------

Tommy and Tanner were up fairly early the next morning.  The rain had
stopped, but the sky was still fairly gray.  Their companions were still
asleep, but they decided to start breakfast anyway.  Their attention was
distracted by yelling and harsh words coming from a tent not too far away.

"You stay away from this tent all day.  I don't want you to come back until
night, you hear me, you little queer?"

"But I won't have anything to eat!"

"Buy some shit at the camp store."

"I don't have any money.  Dad said we had to eat the stuff we brought."

"Then steal it, you little faggot!  I'm not giving you any money.  Now get
the fuck out of my sight!"

A young teen emerged from the tent and plodded toward the main entrance of
the campground, his thin frame appearing even more fragile as his shoulders
slumped against the morning chill.  His path took him past the boys' site.

"Hey, Bud, are you okay?"  Tanner asked.

"Why would you care?" the boy mumbled.

"Because I don't like to hear anyone being abused verbally or otherwise and
it seems to me that's what's going on.  Was that your brother cussing you
out?"

"Yeah, that's the prick.  I didn't want to come with him, but my parents
made me because they think if I'm along he's not going to be having sex
with his latest bimbo.  She and her friends are around somewhere."

"If he's 18, no one can tell him what he can and can't do as long as it's
legal."

"He's 19, but his girlfriend is 14 like me and that would be statutory
rape, I think."

"How were you supposed to stop him from getting together with her even if
she is too young?" Tommy asked.

"They think he'll be a gentleman if I'm around.  But if I tell on him,
he'll beat me up or worse and still deny that he did anything.  He'll wait
until they're not around and do nasty things to me.  I'll be so glad when
he goes into the army next month.  Maybe they'll send him to Iraq and he'll
get killed."

"Man, that's pretty harsh," Tanner observed. "Won't you feel guilty if he
comes home in a body bag?"

"Maybe, but he's a complete asshole and I'd be happy not to see him again –
ever!"

"Come have some breakfast with us so you don't starve." Tommy invited.
"Let me get you a sweatshirt so you don't freeze either."

"Thanks!  I'm really hungry and cold."

"We made plenty and our buds aren't up yet.  We brought more than enough
food, so there's more for them to cook when they want it."

Tommy and Tanner carried on a conversation with the boy while they were
eating.  He told them his name was Jared Bristow and his brother was Dirk.
He let it slip that if his brother didn't get to have sex with the girl,
he'd probably force him to take care of him.  After he'd said that, he
clammed up and wouldn't immediately give any more details.  However, he was
beginning to feel that he could trust them – especially if they were the
boys he'd seen last night.

As they were cleaning up their plates, Jared nudged the boys and pointed
toward a girl who was making her way to the tent.  Dirk, appearing nearly
naked, opened the flap to let her in.  Knowing his little brother wouldn't
have the balls cross him, he didn't bother to zip it shut.

"We could probably get the goods on him if we wait a few minutes until
they're going to it and then take some pictures." Tommy suggested.

"He's still gonna go after me," Jared sighed. "He'll hurt me bad."

"Will he fuck you?" Tanner asked bluntly.

The boy closed his eyes in a vain attempt to stem the tears and nodded.

"Bastard!" Tommy swore. "Has he done it before?"

"Yeah," Jared admitted in a whisper.

"More than once?"

"Uh huh."

"Did you talk to your parents about it?"

"They didn't believe me.  They think I make things up because I'm jealous
of him."

"If he did, there'll be scarring," Drake said as he emerged from the other
tent, clad in boxers.  "A doctor can verify if you've been forcibly
entered."

"Dirk will just say it's what I want because I'm queer." Jared said.

"Gay, straight, or in between, no one deserves to be raped!" Chris
exclaimed as he joined the conversation.  "I say we nail the bastard."

Tommy and Tanner made quick introductions as Tanner assisted Chris and
Drake in operating the camp stove.

They talked about how they could help Jared and protect him from further
harm.

"This just kills me because you're about the same age as our little
brother." Tommy said. "If someone did that to Tuck, I'd want to kill him!"

"That's an unusual name. How many kids do you suppose there are in Illinois
by that name?"  Jared asked. "I'm sure it's not possible that his last name
is Torrance."

"You're from Middleton?  You know our brother?" Tanner questioned.

"I know a guy by the name of Tuck Torrance because we had several classes
together.  We moved to Middleton in January from Naperville."

"Was Dirk at Coolidge High?" Drake asked. "I don't remember anyone new by
that name."

"No, he'd dropped out by then and was getting his GED so he could enlist.
They don't want dummies in the service these days."

"I'm gonna go call home and asked what we should do," Tommy said.

His reason for not calling right there from his cell phone was that he
wanted to talk to Tuck without Jared's overhearing their conversation.  He
went over by the shower house to place his call.

Tuck assured Tommy that Jared was a good kid from everything he'd seen –
shy, but smart and decent.  Then Tommy asked to talk to their dad.

Tark was concerned about having the boys take the problem on, but told
Tommy to use good judgment and do what he felt he must.  If the boys
decided to catch Dirk in the act, they should alert someone in change at
the state park to back them up.

Tommy walked toward the office as he continued his conversation with his
dad.  When he got there, he was relieved to see a park ranger.  He
explained the situation about Dirk and an underage girl.

"I'm sorry; we can't go into someone's tent on your word or anyone else's.
It's not that I don't believe you.  My hands are tied by the law."

"What if you happened to be walking around the grounds and some guys pulled
the flap of the tent open and took some pictures?  If one of the guys
involved happened to be his brother, that wouldn't be a case of illegal
entry."

"You are a devious young man," the officer smiled.  "If I see a
disturbance, I'll have to get involved.  But, this had better be on the up
and up, or you may find yourself on the opposite side of the law from me."

By the time Tommy got back to their campsite, most of the campers in the
area had disbursed, evidently gone exploring and sightseeing.  He quickly
explained his plan of action to the others.  They agreed, although Jared
was pale with fright.  Doing this to his brother could unleash unforeseen
consequences, but after last night, he HAD to take some kind of action.

Armed with a couple of cell phones with cameras and Tanner's digital camera
set on video, they walked quietly toward the tent.  They could hear the
girl's voice inside.

"Oh Dirk, fuck me harder, I'm almost there!  I love you're big, fuckin'
cock!"

Jared pulled the tent flap open quickly and several flashes of light gave
evidence that pictures had been captured.

Dirk erupted from the opening like an engaged bull without even thinking
about the fact he was stark naked and still hard.  Lynn followed, barely
covering her crotch with her panties.  The guys continued to film
everything.

Seeing Tanner with the camera, Dirk charged him.  That was a mistake.
Tanner's kempo training kicked in automatically.  He handed the camera off
to Tommy and then made short work of putting Dirk on the ground with an arm
pulled back in a position that made struggling very painful.

"Please calm down and remain still," Tanner said quietly.  "I don't want to
hurt you."

"You can't hurt me; you're not as big as I am," Dirk insisted.  "When I get
up, I'm gonna kill you!"

"I don't feel any pain; do you?" Tanner asked as he put a little more
stress on Dirk's arm.

"Shit!  You're breaking my arm!  Stop it or I'll call the law on you!"

"I'm the law here," the ranger smiled grimly.  "I happened to be walking
the grounds and saw you attack this young man.  I'll need to see ID's for
you and the young lady who are both guilty of indecent exposure in a public
place.  Evidently you two have been engaged in having sex."

"You don't have to tell him anything, Lynn!  He's not the police."

"I have the authority to keep the peace in the state park, but don't worry
about the legality of arresting you; a deputy sheriff is on the way and
should be here momentarily.  Would someone get something to cover this
boy's ass?"

It was only the matter of a few minutes before the deputy in question was
there.  He took statements from everyone and took Dirk to the county jail
on suspicion of having sex with a minor.  He called for a matron to take
Lynn to be checked with a rape kit, and ordered everyone else to remain at
the park until he gave them permission to leave.

Tommy loaned Jared his cell phone so he could call his parents.  The boy
was none too happy to contact them.  When he ended the call, he told the
others that his parents were really pissed with him and were coming to get
him immediately.  Tommy relayed the information to the ranger who said he
would intervene if they tried to take him away or punish him while in the
park.  Beyond that, he was powerless.

When he got his phone back, Tommy called his dad to update him on the
situation.  Tark commended him on including Jared in their planned hike and
asked him to keep his cell on because he would be in touch.

Author's notes: Don't complain; it's not a true cliffhanger.  This was a
logical place to break before the chapter got too long.

The word "face" instead of "fade" in last chapter was my bad.  Please don't
blame the editors!  I reworded the sentence just before posting.

Yesterday was awesome with sunny weather in the 70's.  I drove around with

Iowa!
