Silent Waters - Chapter 5
More travelling
The next day I briefed my pilots asked the Captain to get our first clearance for two days hence. We would all load up our clothes the next day and I decided to take the Hummer. At the pool that afternoon I called the other three to me.
"Ok guys. The day after tomorrow Silent Waters and I are going to start our round the world trip. We are probably going to be away for a couple of months. Ross, you and Ian are more than welcome to come with us but you are owed leave and this would be a good time to take it if you want to."
Ross looked at Ian and got the usual nod. I don't think these two ever disagreed and Ian always nodded yes even before Ross spoke.
"We would like to come with you Boss and call it our leave."
He laughed, "If we are away for two months that takes care of our leave for nearly two years."
I laughed as well. It was a nice way for these two macho men to tell me they didn't want to be anywhere other than with us.
"Ok this is the score then. All transport, accommodation and food taken with us is gratis. If you go off by yourselves any time obviously you pay for yourselves. But in consideration of you doing your job a lot of the time I will give you double pay for the duration."
Ian gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you Boss you're a star."
The next day was frantic as we loaded a ton of clothes in the Hummer and drove it into Almeria Airport. When it was loaded in the jet Ian and Ross went into town to buy some more clothes and Sam and I drove the Audi home.
I realised Sam was almost twenty but still behaved like a little boy when he was pleased with something. I wondered if it was a general trait among American Indians. If it was it was most endearing.
"Are we really going to be away two months Robert?"
"More if you want to."
I could see the brain working. Two months was quite a long time. In the event we were away for three months. Sam loved Hong Kong so we stayed at the Peninsular Hotel for extra weeks. The same thing at the Dusit Thani in Bangkok because Ian and Ross were determined to bed every boy in town I think. Well Thai boys were gorgeous.
Finally we landed in Arizona where we found several of Silent Waters relatives and spoilt them. His Mother's parents were incredibly hospitable and cousins couldn't leave him alone, talk about the centre of attention. I never got to see if other boys were rigged like Sam but I did notice that the teenagers were very beautiful as a generalisation. There was a lot of poverty on the reservation because no one appeared to have jobs so they relied on welfare. Running Bear, Sam's grandfather had quite a bit of land and I asked him if I could build a house on it for them and Silent Waters if he wanted to visit. They were a little mystified and incredibly surprised when I turned up with a building crew one day and all the machinery. We had foundations completed and the main structure up in a week and before we left they had it finished. These sectioned houses could be built in a day almost it was just like building a Lego house. Sam and I took them shopping for all the new appliances and they furnished it with Indian style fittings. Sam was so pleased. He had one bedroom fitted out for himself and then told one of his cousins that he could use it as he didn't expect to be back very often. I was flavour of the month with one Navajo Tribe and most importantly with Sam.
With that big adventure out of the way we settled down to our normal quiet routine only changed from normal in that we all had some excess weight to get rid of. The result a couple of months later was that both Sam and I looked even better than we had before the holiday. Ross was merciless driving us hard every session. I was tempted to opt out a couple of times but felt I would look bad in Sam's eyes.
Next was London and with four of us I took a luxury rental apartment for a month. Ian and Ross took time out to see family but still spent time with us.
One night the four of us went to the theatre and naturally gravitated to the bar during the interval. While we were waiting for Ian to bring back the drinks I saw Sam go as white as a sheet and move close to Ross. He looked at me with a look of total terror in his eyes and then he started to shake uncontrollably.
"What is it Silent Waters?"
He said nothing, just continued to shake. I shook him.
"What is it Sam?"
I got one word. "Stephen."
"Where?"
It took us a few minutes, but eventually I found the man that even while Sam was under my protection could engender such terror in him.
"He can't hurt you Baby, never again. Ross, I want you to follow that man back to his seat and at the end of the performance I want you to follow him home and let me know where he lives. Take Ian with you, do not lose him under any circumstances."
The evening was ruined, Sam spent the remainder of it in a state of terror.
The next day we had a full name and address and I had contacted my mercenary friend. He was on home territory so he found the venue and abducted Stephen. I had Sam there on the first day. Stephen was naked strung from a beam in a barn in Hertfordshire.
"Now Sam, when you were strung up like that what did this creature do to you?"
Sam walked round in front of Stephen still shaking, but felt safer with Ian, Ross and myself present. The look on Stephen's face when he recognised Sam was priceless.
"With bare knuckles he used to use me like a punch bag." I nodded and my friendly savage started thumping Stephen hard all over his body.
"Like that Sam?"
"Yes Robert."
"What else?"
"He would practice Karate kicks on me."
Same treatment.
"How did you sleep Baby?"
"The same as I spent my day. I was usually tied up in a cupboard with a dildo in my butt. He would beat me with a cane before I went to bed and sometimes before he started to kick and punch me."
"What food did you get?"
"He gave me his left over's mostly strewn over the floor for me to lick up like a dog."
"Ok, keep up that treatment for a week. Sam and I will be back next week and finish the job. I would like you to use any method necessary to get the names and addresses of any more of his victims and details of his assets so that we can make restitution."
Sam was very worried about my final intentions towards Stephen knowing that I had personally killed four men who previously had abused him.
"Silent Waters, I am not going to kill Stephen but I am going to put the fear of God into him and next week we are going to cane him hard enough to leave his ass ridged like yours was even if my pet savage has already achieved it."
We had a good week doing lots of exciting things before our final session with Stephen. When it came I had a ball.
Stephen had considerable cash assets. We made him write substantial cheques for all the victims that we had been able to locate and made him sign letters of apology to each as well.
"We are going to release you after this last thrashing tonight you scum bag, but if you try to stop those cheques I will have you hunted down and thrashed every day of your worthless life until you are dead. Do you understand?"
The look of terror on his face pleased me no end.
"Silent Waters, as hard as you can, ten with the cane. No argument."
There were three of us and we each achieved twenty. Stephen's ass was in a terrible state because my pet savage and I had deliberately struck hard enough to draw blood. When we finished we delivered him to his home naked and bleeding dumping him at his front door and throwing him his keys.
For me, a very satisfying end to an unpleasant affair.
Sam's comment to me a few days later when he had calmed down was, "I hope I never get on your wrong side."
I laughed fit to bust and then growled at him,
"I hope you don't either because in your case I would cut you up and eat you, you are too delicious to waste."
Once again we returned to Mojacar and life fell into its normal pattern with one small difference. Sam decided to get serious about horse riding. Over the next two years he became a seriously competent rider, not show stuff, just horsemanship. He learnt to use a rope like a cowboy. When one of the Spaghetti Westerns was being filmed at Little Hollywood a few miles from us I paid the stunt co-ordinator to teach Sam to rope a bull from a moving horse. He was brilliant and I was so pleased for him.
For his twenty first Birthday I bought him a proper cow pony and there was no stopping him. He was as good as any cowboy I had ever seen. The down side was that afternoon frolics by the pool were few and far between now. Ross and Ian both had high-powered quad bikes so that they could keep an eye on him when he was riding.
We went to Morocco a couple times in the yacht to Marina Smir. For some reason or other Sam loved it. He put up with the sailing just to be there. Of course I loved it. I could have lived on the yacht it was just so good for my psyche.
Apart from the horse riding and the sailing we went abroad a lot, staying in places like New York for weeks before tiring of the hustle and bustle. The clubs were great but Sam was being hit on so often it became a misery, Ian and Ross had to get rough on several occasions with guys that didn't understand the word `No'. Before I knew it Sam and I were celebrating five years together. It was soon after that he started to get very quiet. He would spend more and more time just riding, up into the mountains, deep into the valley. Spending less and less time with me. Of course matters came to a head.
"What's the matter Silent Waters? Fed up with the old man at last?"
"Oh no Robert, I just think I want to go home."
"I thought this was home."
"I mean to be with my people. I want to spend time with Running Bear before it is too late."
"How long do you want to go for?"
"I don't know Robert, until my family no longer want me."
My heart sank. I couldn't cry that would be underhand. I couldn't keep him under false pretences and I knew there was no way I would be welcome on the reservation. I'm not even sure the government would allow it.
"When do you want to go?"
"As soon as possible, and can I take Diablo with me?"
"Yes, he can fly in the motor compartment. I'll ask the Captain to organise the paper work and tell us when he has it all booked."
We had three days. I didn't get an erection once so no farewell sex. I drove him into Almeria for the flight and we said goodbye, no affection, not even a handshake.
"I'll write every week Sam." And he was gone. Not Silent Waters, he would be in my heart forever, but Sam was going. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sadness reigns in the next chapter.
