I hope you enjoy the results of no planning. All comments welcome at the usual addy. rochopa@xtra.co.nz Stewart lay beside Fore until the Emergency Medics arrived and placed him on a gurney for his trip to the hospital to be checked out. His small butt was aching and the skin inside his thighs throbbed from the hard pinching hands that had assaulted him. Fore had refused to leave his side and had almost ended up having a raging argument with the Medics about having to leave Stewart to them. Brett had arrived just in the nick of time and sorted it out so that now Fore sat opposite Stewart in the ambulance leaning forward to hold his hand for comfort. Once he had been checked Stewart was wheeled into a junior ward for observation but the doctors thought he would be able to leave of his own accord in the morning. Fore again gave the doctors a run for their money as far as leaving Stewart alone for the night and after brow beating the orderly for half an hour he had managed to have another bed placed beside Stewarts. "Fore?" "Yeah Stew?" "I...I'll be ok you know." "Hey bud, I'm not leaving you to this lot of quacks, sorry bud but you got me for the duration." "Why Fore?" "Because you're a hero." "What?" "If it hadn't have been for you taking off like that we wouldn't have got the Tigerman." "But that doesn't make me a hero." "Well it does to me and all the other guys on the street, besides, I like looking at your butt in that backless gown thing." Fore gave a chuckle at the horrified look on Stewarts face. "But....but...but." "No bud just one butt, yours." Fore broke out again into laughter as Stewart felt his face redden and the heat of the blush rise from his toes to the top of his head. "Hey bud, I'm just kidding yah, remember you don't do anything you don't want to." "I...uhm...well....uhm...ok fore." "Got to find you a better name than Stew or bud, let me see now.....uhm....no that won't do....uhm...got it, yeah thats the one for you." "What, what?" "New name for you." "What name?" "Beta." "Beta?" "Yeah Beta." "Why that one?" "Because I think you're Beta than any other boy I know." Fore's laughter rang out through the ward bring the orderly rushing in to quieten him down. "Hey, there's others in here need their rest boy." "Sorry....I was just trying to make my friend Beta feel better." This time Fore tried to keep his laughter quieter as the orderly gave him a look that said 'stop or else'. Fore quietened down and looked at stewart trying to stop from bursting out with laughter himself. "That's better Stew, now you got some colour back." Fore stopped talking as he saw a look come over Stewarts face and he realised that the events of the last 12 or so hours were catching up and if the tears begining to form in Stewarts eyes were any indication the loss of his family was starting to hit him. Fore left his place and with a softening look crawled up on the bed beside stewart as the torrent of tears began to rush down his cheeks and the wrenching sobs took over his body. Fore reached for his new buddy and pulled the crying boy into his arms. Rocking Stewart gently he coo'ed into his ear as the boy was wracked by deep soul searching sobs. The two young teens lay there one holding the other as the ward hushed around them while Stewart let the emotions of this day wash from his tortured mind. 'Gone, all gone, now what could he do?' The tears ran anew as the realsiation hit him that except for a grandmother far away at the other end of the country, he had no one. No more going home to love, no more twins, no more fishing or camping trips with his father, it was over, his life had come to an end. A small spark lit up in Stewarts head as he felt again the tender arms cuddling him close as he sobbed away the last of his family in a flurry of tears and inner fears. Fore watched as the emotions ran their course over his new found friends face. He could only imagine the horror that was going through the boys mind as the small rivelet of tears continued to fall. Fore knew that all he could do for this cute and friendly boy was to hold him and try to be there when he needed someone. The night came down and Fore held on tightly to Stewart as he continued to sob out his torment until sheer weariness sent Stewart into fitful sleep, broken now and again with flashing memories of hard hands on his body and the sound of hushed voices telling of his family being lost. The only thing keeping Stewart sane was the warm feeling of a pair of arms holding him close and the petting of soft hands on his back. Fore drifted off to sleep eventually but it was very late in the night and at the first movement of Stewart he would be wide awake again and pressing the boy deeper into his arms, saying soft words in his ear. It had come as a surprise to Fore that this boy was starting to mean more than just someone that needed help, his own life had not been a happy one and the last two years on the street had made him hard or so he thought until this dream boy had appeared. What was going to happen to this boy? Fore knew he couldn't or shouldn't have to go on the game just to survive, maybe Brett would find some relatives for him to live with. As much as it would break Fore's heart to have Stewart leave him and go to someone else he also knew that it was what the boy should do. The type of life Fore led was not good for this boy, he wouldn't survive alone here and although Fore deep down felt he could look after him it would still not be easy. Added to that fore didn't know how Stewart really felt about him. The offer of sex earlier Fore saw as a pressure situation and would not have called on it as evidence of the boys feelings for him. Fore sighed again and as he dropped his head to close his eyes again a small tear crept from the edge of his eye at the possible loss of someone that he was sure he felt a lot for. These feelings were foreign to Fore's way of life and he wasn't sure about them, all he knew was that this boy in his arms meant a lot more than just a nice tight little body to cuddle up to. Sleep descended once again as Stewart settled down for the tenth time after another outburst of tears and fright. The morning brought a bleary eyed pair of boys to their senses as the orderly came around with breakfast trays for the patients and then told Fore that the caffeteria was open if he wanted to go down there for breakfast. Fore refused the offer and decided he could wait until his boy was on his feet and they could leave together. By eleven o'clock the doctor released Stewart and gave him a salve to have applied to his sphincter where there had been some bruising. The doctor had given Fore a smile and a strange look as he suggested to Stewart that he find someone to put the salve on for him. Fore ignored the inference of the doctor and hastely arranged for Stewart to leave with him. The two boys left the hospital and were at last out in the fresh morning air and as they stepped down from the last step at the front of the hospital Fore heard the tooting of a car horn. Looking up Fore saw Brett parked beside the curb in his own private car as he waved to the boys to come over. Both the boys went over to Brett and as they approached he could see that they had had a bad night and the way that Fore was holding the other boy told Brett that there might be more going on here than meets the eye. "Get in guys, where do you want to go Fore?" "Back to my place for the moment Brett, Stew needs some more rest and I need to clean up and eat." "You both want to join me for an early lunch?" "Uhm....how you feel about it Stew?" "Uhm ok, but I got nothing to pay for it." Brett spoke up. "Who said you gotta pay for it kiddo?" "Where we going Brett?" "Back to my place Fore, best lunch bar in town." "You sure it's not to much trouble?" "How long you known me Fore?" "Almost a year." "I ever told you that you were to much trouble?" "Well no." "Ok then thats three for lunch, how you feeling Stewart?" "Washed out Brett, I'm still not sure what's going on." "Ok little man, don't worry we got a whole lot of people looking for your relatives, we'll see that you're looked after." "Brett?" "Yes Stew?" "I've only got an old grandmother still alive and I think she is in the south somewhere in a home." "Is she the only one?" "Yes as far as I know." "Damn that's going to be hard, look Fore, how are you placed for looking after Stew for a couple of days?" "As long as he needs Brett." "What like forever?" "BRETT." "Ok, ok keep your pants on....if you can." Bretts huge smile told Fore and Stew that he was ribbing them. Brett pulled away from the curb and turned the car around to head back in the opposite direction toward his home. The house was in a quiet suburb and looked like all the other red brick semi ranch style houses in the street. It was not large but just comfortable looking and although Fore had been there a number of times it still brought back memories of a better time for him. Stewart was wrapped in Fores arms and just wanted to lay down and finish his tears for his lost family. Brett pulled into the driveway and after the boys got out he led them up to the front door and into the lounge. "Grab a seat boys and I'll start some lunch for us." As Brett headed for the kitchen which was seperated from the small lounge by a breakfast servery, Fore led Stewart to a couch and gently helped him to lay down but only after he had sat himself first so he could hold Stewart close to him. The clattering of pots and pans came from the kitchen as Stewart felt again the tears begin to flow and the warm comforting arms of Fore holding him close and rubbing his back softly. Fore could not put his finger on it but there was something about this boy that affected him in a way he had never felt before. Fore knew he was just a whore for any man to use but this boy crying softly in his lap just made him feel like someone important for a change. Stewarts need had taken over all of Fore's thoughts and if he really thought about it. Stewart had taken his thoughts over from the first time he had seen him. There was something about Stewart that rang a bell deep inside Fore the he thought would be hidden from sight until he was to old to bother with it again. Twenty minutes later Brett placed three plates on the coffee table, Fore looked down at one of the biggest homemade hamburgers he had ever seen, with a smile he reached with his free hand to take hold of the feast but found it was to much for one hand and with soft words to Stewart he released the boys body and again reached out. "Jeez Brett, this is the mostest burger." "I like em big Fore, you know that!" "Well Brett you got em big but I was talking about the burger." Just then the phone on the side table rang and Brett lifted it and listened for a few miniutes and then with a "Yes Sir" replaced the phone. "Sorry guys got to go back to work, it's about the shooting of our friend, nothing to worry about just formalities." "Ok Brett you can drop us off in town." "No way Fore, you two stay here and eat, I know I can trust you Fore that's why you got that key for emergencies." "Well you sure you don't mind?" "Hey my little butt boy, would I give you a key to my house if I didn't trust you?" "Well ok Brett, when do you think you'll be back." "Shouldn't be to long, stay as long as you like and I'll ring when I'm done." "Ok Brett, hey dude?" "What?" "Thanks for doing this for Stewart....well and me to." "Just behave Fore and you know you're always welcome." While talking to Brett, Fore had taken a knife and cut up one of the other burgers and was busy trying to force feed Stewart as he lay on his lap. "You two look cute like that Fore, ever consider having a boy friend?" "In my game? jeez Brett who would want me when I been selling my ass for two years?" "Never know till you ask Fore." "yeah right." "Ok gotta run bud, look after him, if he wants to sleep take him into the spare bedroom." "Thanks again Brett, I owe you big time for this." "Don't worry buddy, I'll take it out on your butt later." "You know you're always welcome to it and for all of this you get it free." "We'll see buddy, now gotta go, bye for now." "See yah Brett." Brett glanced over his shoulder as he let himself out of the door,'those two fit good together' he thought as he made his way to the car and then reversed down the driveway and back to headquarters for his third degree over the shooting and the other matter that he hadn't mentioned to Fore. Fore turned back to the boy in his arms and caught him with a far away look in his eyes. "What's up Stew?" "Nothing, just thinking things over." "Must be something then if you're thinking?" "Well it's kind of funny." "How so?" "I've just lost everyone I love or that loved me and......well...I know I'm sad and all that and it will take me ages to really get together again, but..." "But, what?" "For, can I ask you a real personal question?" "Anything you want Stew." "Fore,....what's love?" "Shit is that all, I'm glad you don't ask difficult questions." Fore looked again at the stunned expression on Stewarts face. "I'm sorry Stew, I was only joking. Stew, you know I sell my ass on the streets and have done so for quite a while, all I can say is that up until now, I didn't know what love was. To me all I knew was where was the next John and how am I going to pay the rent or eat. I thought I had love at home but that just turned out to be for them not me. Babes I've never said or meant the word love in my life but something has changed all that." Stewarts eyes had never left Fore's face as he told him his ideas. "What changed it Fore?" "You." "Me?" "Yep, you, Stewart I'm in love with you, I was the moment I saw you the other night. I didn't know it then, well I sort of felt something special for you but I didn't know what it really was until I saw you on that bed all beaten and in pain." "Fore, I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything Babes, I know it's not possible for you because of what I am, but at least I will always know that there was one person in this world that I loved." "But fore, we've never done anything,....you know...in bed." "I don't expect you to, look Stew, I know how I feel, it's something deep inside me, I don't expect you to feel the same because I'm just a boy whore, but will you at least stay my friend?" Stewart reached out his arms to Fore as the tears again began to run down his cheeks. As he opened his mouth to answer the boy now held tightly in his arms they both heard the sound of a car pulling up outside the house and the thump of the drivers door closing. The sound of the front door opening and closing and the look on Brett's face told the two boys that everything was not good. Fore looked at Brett and before he could ask Brett began to relate what he had been told. "Boys I've got bad, well very bad news." "First Stewart, there's no one we can get to look after you, we tried your grandmother but she's very sick and we couldn't track anyone else down, it looks as though it might be Social Welfare that takes you in, I'm really sorry Stewart but there's not much I can do. Now they won't be interfereing for a while yet as we've still got an ongoing case and you both are a part of it, and thats the next bad news. That guy I shot is not the only one out there, another cop found a boy last night lying in an alley beaten and raped then killed. Do you remember young Simon, Fore?" "Bright red hair and deep dark green eyes with freckles on his nose?" "Yes, it was him, on top of his naked body was a short message." "Wh...what was it?" Both boys felt the dread and fear welling up inside them again. "One word,....."Payback" that's all it said, it appears there might be more than one Tigerman, we don't know yet but it looks that way." Stewarts face turned pallid and almost grey as he heard the news, Fore began to shake and held tighter to Stewart, pulling him in close for protection as he asked Brett about their suspicions. "What are you going to do, Brett?" "Well for starters you two guys are under my protection as from now, you're both staying here until we sort out what this is all about. The Commander did some checking on possible relationships to the killings and the number of missing boys over the last three years that were never solved." "What did they find?" "As far as we can tell there may have been close to twenty seven murders of young street boys that we know of, they may not all be related to this one Tigerman but it's starting to look that way. We also have close to thirty missing boys that have never been found and that's only the ones that we know about. With all these facts put together we think it is more like a ring or gang of guys that's doing all this, it seems to much for one man to have done." "How does it concern us Brett?" "We think they might want to come after you both as a payback for losing one of their number." "But we didn't know about them." "I don't think they're worried about that Fore. We checked out the guy I got but there's nothing on him, his ID was false and a search of his home turned up nothing of importance as to who he was except that he was working as a contract IT consultant. The only other thing we found was on his computer, he seemed to spend a lot of time on young peoples chatrooms pretending to be a kid and getting them to meet him, at least that's what it looks like." "So what are we going to do?" "You both stay here under my protection, Fore I'm going to give you something that you don't tell anyone about, ok?" "Sure Brett but what is it?" "This, it's for you and Stewart, if anything happens to me then you use it if you have to, I'll take you out later today and teach you everything you'll need to know about it." Fore looked down at Bretts hand and saw lying in it a small calibre automatic pistol, it's lethal looking dull steel finish sending a shiver up the spine of the street boy. "Wh.....why?" "I don't want anything more to happen to Stewart, you can't tell anyone you have it, it's not legal for you to have one but this is a judgement call for me to make and to hell with the rules." "Brett, why, I mean why should I carry a gun like that." "Fore there is an epidemic of boys going missing and being killed for some sadistic need, as far as I know Stewart is the only one to survive, if we get seperated at any time then at least you have a chance to help him." Brett collasped into a chair oposite the two boys who were still hugging each other closely. "Ok Fore, this is a Barretta .32 Automatic, it's got a seven shot magazine, you just pull this slide back and pull the trigger, it won't stop a man cold but it might give you enough time to get away, this type of gun is not much for aiming so just point at his groin and keep pulling the trigger, anywhere from the waist down will hurt, even with a little .32 slug, it's not much good over ten feet or so but it should give you time to make a run for it if you have to. Now Fore it's small and doesn't look much but it's not a toy, it can kill, so I'm taking you and Stewart out later today to show you how to use it but you will be carrying it at all times, ok got that?" "Ahm,....yes I think so Brett, but what about the other cops, they'll crucify me if they find it." "There won't be any other cops Fore, the Commander gave me the job exclusive, he knows I'm gay and that I know you but not how I know you ok, so don't let on I'm one of your Johns." "You're not just a John anymore Brett, from now on you are a special friend and can ask me for anything anytime, as long as you can save Stew then everything of mine is yours." "I thought so." "What you mean Brett?" "You love Stewart." Fore turned a bright red for the first time he could ever remeber at his secret being so easily revealed. "How can you tell?" "Easy, all the time I've known you I can't think of one time you went so far out of your way for another boy, I just have to look at your face to know what it is." "It's true Brett, I do love him, not lust, well not all of it is, it's something deep down inside telling me to look out for him." Brett looked over at Stewart being held tightly in Fore's arms, his face a brighter red than Fores. "What do you think Stewart?" Stewart pushed his face hard against Fore's shoulder and mumbled into the soft warm flesh he found there. "What was that Stewart?" Stewart lifted his head slightly from his human pillow and with softly spoken words told Brett what he felt. "I love him to, I want to be with him all the time and the way he holds me makes me feel safe, I don't think I could survive without him near me." "Well you've been through a lot of trauma Stewart, it's natural to seek comfort with someone your own age and Fore has all the experience to help you. Now you two, you'll share the spare room so we'll have to go get your gear Fore and then over to the hotel to get all of Stewarts things and bring the lot back here. Remeber don't leave my sight, this is not a game, your lifes are on the line here if these guys are serious, and I personally think they are very serious." Over the next hour and a half the three went from Bretts house to Fore's single room and then to the hotel that Stewart and his parents had been staying and after collecting all their belongings they returned to Bretts to put away the clothes. The personal items of Stewarts family were sent to the Police headquarters until after the autopsy of his family and would then be returned to Stewart where ever he would be. On their return to Bretts home the two boys went into the spare room to unpack their meager belongings as Brett set about organising his lounge into a temporary office and to check over his personal security systems for the boys protection. After unpacking Fore helped Stewart to lay down to rest a little more and as he lay beside him Fore reached over with the intention of lightly kissing his forehead but at that second Stewart turned toward him and instead their lips met for the first time. With a start Fore pulled back with an embarrassed look on his face as he tried to explain away his impulsive move. Stewart gave a little smile and then to Fore's surprise reached up with his arms and placed them around Fores neck, pouting his lips as he did so. "Kiss me again Fore,....Please?" Fore leaned down again and placed his lips tenderly over those of Stewarts and with a softness and caring even he didn't know he had, Fore began to pour all his hidden love into their first real kiss. Stewart felt his body turn to jello as the hot lips caressed his own and with the faintest touch of a wet warm tongue Stewart eased his lips open further. At the first entry of Fore's tongue Stewart's body gave out a tingling like a little shock and he pulled the street boy close to him in a desperate need for closeness. Both boys became bolder in their attempts to taste each other as Fore ran his hands gently down the side of Stewarts face and chin until he was massaging the young chest lightly. Stewart though this was so much better than what he had read about kissing, this was real and warm, his heart had stopped beating, or so he thought, as he became consumed by the moment. Fore's loving caresses were making Stewart feel something he never dreamed of before, the tenderness, and yes love, came through every gesture that Fore made. Time had stopped for the two boys on the bed as they experienced the one thing they had never had before, the love of another boy. Their bodies were not writhing in over heated passion but were just melding into one being as their lips locked tight together and the smooth if somewhat static breathing came through their nose. >From somewhere far away came a soft humming sound as the boys travelled in their own small world of mutual satisfaction in having a soul-felt and at the same time a physical bonding as they lay body to body on the bed. Time stopped and the world ceased to be except for the soft bed under them and the hotness of their lips bound together. Through the tenderils of their own world the boys heard a strange sound and so with more reluctance than either one desired their lips parted and they looked toward the source of the sound. Brett stood leaning against the door jam watching the two needy boys on the bed. An amused look covered his face as the boys came out of their own world of dreams. "So this is what goes on the moment I turn my back?" Both boys began to turn red as they realised that they had just been kissing in front of a cop, even though Brett knew all about them it was that first flash of realisation to both of them that they were in total love with each other. For the first time that he could ever remember Fore couldn't find any words but just stared up at Brett with embarrassment as he held tighter to Stewart. "Ok guys, I'm only joking with you, well Fore looks like you'll have to give up the game if you're going to look after your boyfriend properly." "Er....uhm...ahhh." "Yeah well something like that, damn it Fore, you are the best guy I ever went with and now I have to give you up to this little spunk bubble. Oh well at least you've got good taste in boyfriends." Brett trund and left the boys alone as he chuckled to himself on his way back to the lounge. Fore looked down at the red face beneath him and with a smile that told a life time of stories he again lowered his lips to the ones that were waiting below him. The second kiss made Stewarts head ring with desire as he realised that his lower regions were now rampantly trying to force their way free of his jeans. Fore, who was having the same problem with his own body just pushed deeper into the flesh below him as the heat began to build between the two boys. While Fore had been with many men in his two years on the street he had never felt anything even close to the thoughts and feelings rushing through his body like a runaway train. Fore felt Stewarts groin lift in a small thrusting movement so with a somewhat difficult fashion as their lips were still locked tightly together, Fore smiled and with his free hand ran his fingers lower on Stewarts body until they were working a little magic near the top button of the faded blue jeans that were stretched tight by a nice hard projection. At the first touch of Fore's fingers so close to his desire, Stewart moaned and clasped his boyfriend closer, if that were possible. The mad rush of realisation and feelings that sprang into Stewarts mind had his head reeling in wonderment as those delicate fingers toyed with the top of his waist band. An intense heat emanted from the bodies of both boys and it wasn't long before small beads of perspiration were making glistening runnels down the side of both their faces. The thrusts of desire became more prominent as Fore's fingers popped the top button of Stewarts jeans and then as if with no control over his needs Stewart gave a deep soul searching moan, a sharp grunt, then was panting out of breath as Fore watched the dark wetness spread over the front of the crotch of the jeans he had not yet fully opened. Stewart lay panting heavily as Fore began to lightly cover his forehead with spider like kisses while he gently rubbed the soft downey cheek with his free hand that had left the waist band at the first explosive emission from Stewarts loins. "Fore.....Fore...I...I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it." "Don't be sorry Babes, that's the greatest compliment I ever got, it takes a lot of love in someone to be able to cum like that without being touched." "I...I just couldn't hold back. It sort of just came out before I knew it." "It's ok my love, I know what it's like, now let me get those off you so they don't glue you together." "I...I..can do it." "No Babes, I made you do it so I get to clean you up." "But....well no one has ever seen my....well you know?" "Hey boyfriend, that's one privelege of being your boyfriend....I am your boyfriend, right?" "Fore ever, ok you can look but it's not much." Stewart began to blush again as Fore continued to unzip the now soaked jeans and tight blue briefs underneath. A cough from the doorway brought both their heads up as Fore was pulling the legs of the tight jeans over Stewarts ankles. "Bit of an accident was it Stewart?" Bretts soft smile told Stewart it was ok as Fore finally pulled the jeans off leaving Stewart only in the small blue briefs with the large damp spot over the front. Stewart wriggle with the embarrassment at Brett seeing his 'accident'. "Don't worry Stewart, Fore does that to people, well he used to, now he has a boyfriend I suppose all that will be over." Fore looked guiltily up at Brett but could not find the words he needed to explain the sudden change in his thoughts about being a butt boy on the streets, all he knew was that this boy on the bed, now lying almost naked with the large wet spot over what he took to be a very respectable outline showing, was goning to take all his time from now on. How they would be able to survive after the present trouble was over, if it were ever over, would be in the lap of the gods. Brett held out his hand with a towel in it for Fore to take. "Thought you might need this when I heard all the moaning." Fore took the towel with a look of thanks and began to ease the briefs off Stewart as Brett turned and left them in peace to find each other. As Fore slipped the damp sticky briefs down his lovers slender legs he looked at the perfect brown little bush that nestled above a now semi flacid and glistening teen shaft. The leftovers from the unexpected explosion still surrounding the beautiful and somewhat reddened head. On an impulse Fore leant down and lightly kissed the tip of the circumcised head and at the light touch it jumped again as if controlled by an automatic reflex to his touch. Stewart could not hold back the soft moan that emitted from his throat as the soft flesh of Fore's lip whispered across his sensitive glans. The touch of the dry towel gave Stewart a start as it rubbed teasingly over the tender flesh and then once done he heard the rustling of clothing as Fore searched for a dry pair of pants for him. The feeling of cold cloth on his legs told Stewart that Fore was not wasting time putting a pair of breifs on him but was pulling on his pants so that he would be naked underneath the cloth. The erotic though of going around with no underwear was new to Stewart but it also made him start to harden again. "Hmmm, Babes, you got good recover time." Fore giggled as he lightly rubbed the rising shaft on his boyfriend while he buttoned up the waist band of the cargo shorts. Stewart blushed again and wriggled a bit as he felt Fore's fingers tease him again then with total abandonment he threw his arms up and around Fores neck and pulled him down again to continue with the kiss that had been so unexpectedly interupted. Stewart could feel the hardness of Fore pushing into his hip as they delved into each others mouth with a passion made from loneliness and need of one for the other. Both boys realised that this was going to be a never ending bond that would not be broken, reguardless of what the future was to bring for them. Although both boys were over excited by their contact the afternoon was spent only in holding and kissing as they tried to learn how to best show their love for each other and so they lay there touching and feeling, kissing with a passion that was more to taste and explore than to force anything sexual from the touching. It was getting dark outside as Brett called them to come through to the lounge and talk before Dinner. Without a word Fore sat on the couch so that Stewart could lay down with his head on Fore's lap as Brett began to talk to them. "Ok guys, looks as thought we'll have to go to the range tomorrow morning, I didn't want to break up your little party in there today, you both needed each other from what I could see so we'll have your lessons in the morning." The two boys looked over with a touch of gratitude at Bretts thoughtfulness of their need to be together earlier in the day. "Ok guys, just a couple of ground rules before we go out to dinner, I don't feel like cooking tonight so I thought we would go out to eat. Fore make sure you carry your little equaliser, I know you don't know how to use it yet but I want you to get used to having it with you all the time. Now the rules, If I'm not home and the phone rings, never answer it, let the answering service take it and then only if it's me and only me, you can pick it up. Don't leave the house without leaving a note as to where you're going, I'm going to check in during the day if I have to go into work to make sure you're both ok. I shouldn't have to leave here but you can never tell in my job. If you do have to go out then stay together, never seperate for anything, your lives may depend on being together at all times. Im going to get a beeper for both of you, if anything at all happens that you are not sure of, then hit the button, I'll be able to trace you from wherever I am. The beepers are a new type that we are trialing on the force for our undercover guys so you will be able to hide them somewhere that won't be seen. You both got all that?" Both boys answered in unison. "Yeah thanks Brett."
