The Mennonite-A New Start 12 CGW
Clay and Micah arrived at the warehouse and it was locked, Clay tried his key but the safety lock was engaged from the inside. Anne opened the door and said; I locked the place down after I found Peter, I carried him to Doc. Ivan's then came back to secure the crime scene. I wasn't here for 15 minutes and this happened, it's my entire fault that Peter was hurt.
Clay said; you were doing your job meeting a vendor, Lock the door behind us and come to my office. As we arrived Clay sat behind his desk and opened the surveillance program and asked Anne when she walked out of the building, she responded at 11:15 and returned at approx. 11:30-11:35. Clay started the monitoring at 11:10 and the video at 11:15 showed Anne walking out with a vendor and at 11:17 in walked a huge man dressed in traditional Mennonite clothes he was 6'9" according to the tape on the wall as a guide for identification in case of a robbery he was about 325-330lbs. Clay said; that's what hurt my baby, I'll kill him if I catch him. Clay hit a couple of keys on the keyboard and the system tracked the man as he made his way through the warehouse and to the stockroom by the furniture design shop he walked up behind a distracted Peter and grabbed him, he never had a chance to defend his self. The man carried Peter into the stockroom and locked the door behind them; he let Peter go as he cleared a place for the assault to take place. He reached out for Peter but he met resistance as Peter attempted to fight the big man off, he hit Peter in his side and Peter fell, he got up and tried to fight the man, he was hit in the jaw and was knocked out. The man ripped the boy's clothes from his body, and threw him on top of the boxes like a sack of feed he walked up behind Peter and dropped his pants and started to rape the boy like a wild beast, he pulled free of Peter and turned the unconscious boy on his back grabbed his legs placed them on his shoulders and started to rape him again, he slapped Peter's face to wake him, when he awoke, Peter began to hit the man as hard as he could as he was brutally raped. The man slammed into Peter holding himself against the boy as he achieved completion of his sex act; Peter went wild hitting the man trying to get the man off of him as the monster released his seed into Peter. The man jerked himself out of Peter causing the boy great pain, as the man pulled up his pants Peter scrambled to get away from him. The man grabbed Peter and threw him face first into the wall; there was blood on the wall as he slid down it. He bent the boy's arm so far we saw it break; he spit on Peter, kicked him in the side then stomped on his hand and left, according to the time stamp 4 minutes had went by when Anne entered the room. The man left the building after Anne had arrived; Clay switched to the outside cameras and followed the man to a horse drawn cart and he got onto it and waited for another man to arrive from the mill and then they left, by this time Anne had drove right by the attacker as she rushed Peter to the clinic.
Anne said; it's too bad we can't see the bastards face to identify him; Clay responded; we can and hit a few buttons and zoomed in of the man the enhanced the photo of the man. There was a perfectly clear photo of the monster with the added words CHILD MOLESTER on it and Clay pushed a few buttons and the printer started to print out 500 copies of him.
Micah said; Anne, have these carried to every Elder and every Mennonite owned business and tell them to post these where people can see them. If they won't, tell them we are closed as of today and I mean every department, mill, and shipping and warehouse until this monster is found. Tell them that my grandson's attacker will be found and brought to justice period.
Anne enlisted a group of ladies and sent them out with Elder Micah's instructions. She stopped at one of the largest hardware stores in the area and handed the manager the flyer and he put under the counter and started to wait on a customer. Anne hit the roof; she slammed another flyer on the counter and hollered at the man, this monster put Elder Gunderson's grandson in the hospital after he attacked him and you won't post his photo in your store, Gunderson and Gunderson Inc. is closed until he is found per Elder Micah's orders. Either post this photo or I will tell everyone that you protect Child Molesters and not to trade here anymore. The man hollered at Anne to know your place woman, suddenly he was jerked backwards by the owner and told to leave and never return. The owner apologized and asked for extras to hand out and make copies so his business could hand them to every customer. The owner asked if the boy would be okay. Anne responded that the broken bones would heal in time but the mental scars the young man now carries will follow him for the rest of his life. The monster is 6'9" and 325lbs. he attacked him then had his way with a 17 year old boy who is 5'4" and 115lbs. he didn't stand a chance against his but he still fought his attacker.
The Owner said; his family would offer prayers for the young man. Might I enquire which child it was because my children go to the school with them and can prepare them for the news? Anne responded it was young Peter whom was attacked by the monster sir. The owner turned white in the face, that's Clay and Anders oldest, he is my sons best friend; first the young man lost his parents and lived in that home for a year until he and his brothers were rescued and given a second chance at life just to have some monster to do this to him.
The Store Owner Walt Lawson turned on the P.A. system and told everyone there was a monster among the us in the Mennonite community and he must be stopped at all cost before another of our children is hurt or even killed by him; there are photos available at the counter to help bring this monster to justice, all are urged to take a photo to help identify him. If you know who he is contact Elder Gunderson so his Grandson's attacker can be brought to justice. Our prayers go out to this young man and his family in their time of need. The counter was swamped and the monster's photo went like wildfire.
2 days later Clay and Anders brought Peter home from the hospital, he was reliving the rape every time he closed his eyes through nightmares. He was given a prescription to help him rest but the poor boy still woke up screaming in terror; Anders never left his son's side as did Clay; He was there every night sitting by his bed with a club as if he was waiting for the monster to come back and hurt his son again.
6 days had passed and the Police had found nothing, the monster was hiding from all, a massive meeting was planned to be held at the parking lot of the warehouse so it could hold everyone. As the meeting a yell went out the have him; and they are bringing him in. Clay leapt form the stage and began to fight his way through the crowd; Micah hollered at his brothers to restrain him and let the monster face the victim's father in front of everyone.
An older man pulled a buggy into the crowd and being led behind it was the monster clad only in tattered pants; he had been beaten by his sect members and stripped of their colors of clothing. The older man the sect Elder stepped from the buggy and walked to Micah and Clay and said; we are truly sorry for the pain this monster that was hiding among us has caused you and your family member he is yours to do with what you want but rest assure he will never know anyone else again and handed Clay a clear bag containing the man's testicles, his sect had castrated him as their punishment for the shame of what he done and brought to their sect. The Elder said; if the young man needs anything, contact us and we will make it so. Micah asked the Elder if the children in his sect were all safe, the Elder looked at Micah with a single tear that ran down his cheek and it told Micah all he needed to know, He spoke to the Elder and said; if any child needed help dealing with their pain the Giving Community was there to help them in their time of need. The man was pushed to his knees and the buggy pulled off.
Clay walked up to the man holding his balls in the bag and said; these are mine now, you will never be allowed to soil another child and steal their innocence away as you did with my son. I hope they kill you in prison or use you as you have used others. He spat on the man as did others in the crowd, the police threw the man into the back of the truck and drove off. Micah thanked the people for all of their help and urged them to go to this monsters trial to show the justice system that they will never forget what this monster did to Peter Andrews Gunderson and possibly others.
The trial was a very fast one, the sooner they justice put this behind them the better. He was sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars, never to enjoy freedom.
Eve had an old colleague form her internship days that was coming to help Ivan out at the clinic, while she waited for the babies to arrive; he was on a sabbatical from an international health program he volunteered with.
Micah walked into the hardware store in town, the owner Walt asked how Peter was doing, was he getting better after everything he had been through. Micah responded that it was taking time but Peter thought of himself as damaged goods now not worthy of another's love or touch.
Walt asked Micah if he could step into his office he wanted to talk to him about something he was going through. Micah sat down and asked; Walt what was the problem? My middle son Danny has come to me and admitted that he has feelings towards Peter. He said; he never acting on what his body wanted because even though he's 18 and Peter is his best friend; he felt that he couldn't handle him in that way because of his size. Micah; he's 6'6" and 275lbs. and all man where it matters and Peter was so tiny next to him, he didn't want to ruin his friendship in case Peter didn't feel the same way, but he feels now like after the monster marked Peter as his with his seed, he has lost his only chance at true happiness in life with his soulmate. Micah; I never knew this about my own son that lives in my house. What can I do as a father to help with my son's pain?
Walt is Danny here today at the store. He is in the back I've been putting him there because he's hurting and it affects the way he interacts with the customers. Walt; call him here to the office so we three can meet and discuss his feelings towards my Grandson. Walt called for Danny to report to the office; Danny walked into the office and said; what's up dad and saw when Micah sitting in the chair, he responded oh crap and looked down. Close the door young man and have a seat young man we need to talk responded; Walt.
Micah; asked Danny I hear that you have feelings towards my Grandson Peter.
Danny; I'm sorry Elder Micah for having impure thoughts towards Peter, he's my only friend.
Micah; sorry, your sorry for falling in love with a fine young man like Pete; everyone should so lucky, so what are you going to do about it young man?
Danny; Elder Micah I tried to deny my feeling towards him but every time he came close his smell of fresh jasmine drove my loins wild with desire I just wanted to take him into my arms and hold him tight and keep him safe but that monster hurt him bad, marked him with his seed as his, now he will never love anyone for the rest of his life. I miss him so much it hurts and I want to show him that I love him no matter what, but he won't return my phone calls.
Bullshit responded Micah; Danny if he means that much to you I will carry you to be by his side and you can tell Peter how you feel for him yourself.
Danny said; you would do that for us, allow me to tell him how I feel about him.
Danny; all you have to do is get your big ass in my truck and I will drive you to him right now young man.
Dad; may I go be with the one that I love and let him know how I feel about him?
Walt stepped up to his son and hugged him and said; yes son go be with the one that you were born to be with, but if you ever break his heart best you don't show your face to me again. Walt shook Micah's hand and said; take care of these two they are very special indeed to one another.
Micah and Danny arrived at Clay and Anders home, Danny was so nervous he was a little green around the edges.
Micah said; take deep breaths Danny and it will get better; it's not every day a young man tells his intended that he loves him and wants to spend the rest of his life with him.
Micah walk to the door and knocked as he entered it and said; can Grandpa come see his Grandson today.
Anders and I were sitting in the dining room while Peter sat on the sofa resting; Micah asked; Peter if he felt like a visit from a friend that wanted to see him real bad.
Peter asked; who was it that wanted to see him so bad?
Does that matter or will you keep a nice young man waiting outside like a rude person, Peter sat up and said; please let him in Grandpa. When Micah opened the door there stood Danny, Peter started to cry and asked Danny to come inside.
Danny sat on Peters left hand side because of his cast, Danny told Peter that he was sorry that he wasn't there to protect him from the man; he felt that he had let him down could he ever forgive him for not being there.
Peter said; Danny it's not your fault what happened to me we were both at our jobs when this happened to me.
Danny took Peter's hand in his and said; I have to tell something and don't interrupt me until I'm finished and I hope you feel the same way. Peter Andrews Gunderson; I Love You and I have always loved you since the first time we met, I've wanted to kiss you for as long as I can remember but if you didn't feel the same way I couldn't chance losing our friendship because it would kill me inside if I couldn't see you and smell your fresh scent of jasmine.
Peter stuttered and said; you what Danny?
I said; I Love You and want to hold you and be your only and you be mine until we draw our last breath of air on this earth.
Danny; I've been soiled and he left his self in side of me are you sure that you want damaged goods to lie next to you in a carnal way.
Peter; I've never been with anyone and you have never given yourself freely to anyone so in my books we are both still virgins to me. When you get well and you decide it's time for us, I will make love to you in our bed for the very first time and will each other's first and only partner for life.
Danny surprised Peter when he leaned over and kissed Peter with all of the passion that only one's true love can. Danny stopped and said; I'm sorry I couldn't help myself I had to kiss you if only just this once.
Peter responded that if he ever stopped kissing him he would die a happy but heartbroken man. Danny eased he arm around Peter and held him close and snuggled with him on the couch.
Anders said; I guess someone will need a place of their own, as soon as somebody asks Clay for his permission to take his son as his mate.
Danny turned bright red at Anders statement and said; I forgot about your dad, he will skin me alive if the catches me with you without his permission Peter. Clay had walked in the backdoor and said; I heard the entire conversation from the Kitchen doorway, he walked into the room and said; no young man after what I heard you confess to my son you have my permission to become his life mate.
Danny surprised everyone when he took to one knee and reached into his pocket and removed a well worm box and opened it, the box contained a pair diamond encrusted bands and said; Peter Andrews Gunderson will you do me the honor in becoming my life mate and I yours, allow me to share the joys and sorrows that life may bring to us for the rest of our lives. Then he placed the ring upon Peter's finger.
Peter removed the other ring from the box and placed it on Danny's finger and said; Danny Wilson Lawson there is no greater honor than calling you my husband and lying next to you as my mate for the rest of our lives.
Paul said; hot damned he finally grew a set and asked him, it's about time everyone at school knew the way he felt about Peter. He drooled every time he got near or even downwind of him. Too bad it took so long.
Micah said; it took the way it was meant to be to work the way it should happen Paul.
Joey; popped off going to be need that bed soon, they will be knocking boots before you know it, better make sure it has a very strong frame for his big ass, Peter you might want to ride him first few times because from what I can tell he packing a whopper downstairs.
Clay popped his 13 year old upside of his head due to his big ass smart mouth and said; watch it boy.
Danny said; I would never do anything to hurt Peter, I love him too much to do that and kissed him in front of everyone. Peter said; we need to tell your folks soon Danny.
Dad knows that we are meeting, but nothing about the rings. So I guess we need to tell then soon as you feel like traveling to see them.
Peter surprised everyone when he said; we will do it tonight. He hadn't left the house since leaving the hospital today was a first. He was going to be okay after all, it only took true love to conquer fear.
