Tommy and Tanner, Chapter 14
"Well, I suppose there's a reasonable explanation as to why I'm picking you two up at the police station again." Tark grinned as he came in the door.
"We're not happy about the circumstances this time either," Tanner sighed.
"I apologize for being flippant. I was trying to lighten the mood."
"That's cool, Dad," Tanner continued. "You may not know how serious it is."
"I do know. Andy's dad called me to tell me all about it. He's extremely proud of the three of you for doing what needed to be done."
"We hated to have to do it, but we couldn't let Mason get away with doing things like that to little kids. If it had been someone our age..." Tommy began.
"It would still be wrong if it was done by force!" Tark insisted. "I have no problem with sex between two consenting people of similar age, even young ones, but this is wrong, plain and simple!"
"I never would have thought Mason would be capable of it. He's had all the sex he can handle with some of the guys at school." Tommy shook his head.
"What was he doing?" Tark asked in surprise.
"Sorry Dad, but I can't go into detail. Let me just say he was eager to take care of guys orally if they wanted." Tommy said, swallowing hard, but not averting his gaze.
"Okay, I'll leave it at that," Tark said. "I know there is more of that going on among teens than anyone ever hears about. It happened when I was in high school; I don't see why it would have changed in the 21st century."
"Oh, Dad, this is our friend Andy. He's the one who was helping mow for us."
"Hello again, Andrew." Tark smiled. "It's great to see one of my best students involved in doing the right thing."
"Hi, Mr. Torrance," Andy grinned.
"Uh, how come we didn't know you two knew each other?" Tommy demanded.
"I guess it's because I don't share my class rosters with my family," Tark teased. "There are some things that I don't have to tell if you don't ask!"
Their conversation was interrupted by the sounds of Mason's parents yelling at the police as they left one of the offices. When they saw the three boys, they started in on them.
"How dare you turn my son in after all the time you've been friends?" Mr. Frey demanded of Tommy. "You're a regular Benedict Arnold!"
"I only did what I had to. Mason was doing a very bad thing!" Tommy insisted, not backing down.
"I ought to beat the shit out of you!" Frey continued.
"Lay a hand on either of my sons and you'll be truly sorry," Tark said in a steely voice as he stepped between them.
Mason's father pulled his arm back as if to take a swing, but thought better of it as Tark stared him down.
"Give me a reason not to hold back," Tark continued with a mirthless smile.
Mr. and Mrs. Frey left, practically dragging Mason with them.
"I should have intervened, but I was half hoping he'd take a swing at you so you could flatten him," Chris Roberts stated. "Having a civilian do it would have gone down better than if one of us had and we could have testified in your behalf. By the way, I'm Detective Christopher Roberts, but please call me `Chris'."
"It's nice to meet you in person at last, Chris. It seems you had some flimsy excuse about stopping an armed robbery when you were scheduled to come to parent conferences last January," Tark teased.
"I did send my wife in my place," Chris laughed. "And I really did get the bad guy."
"Okay, you're excused, this time. Is there anything else I should know about this incident today other than not to spread gossip?"
"That's the main thing. I'm not sure how all this will go down. It's possible it could stay in juvie and not become a big deal. If the young man can be treated in therapy to prevent it's happening again, he might avoid being placed on the sex offender list. That designation can kill a guy's future!"
"I'm sure that we can trust our sons to be tight-lipped. I have to say again how proud I am of them," Tark said as he pulled Tommy and Tanner into a hug, giving their necks a squeeze in the process."
"You're so right," Chris agreed as he put an arm around Andy and pulled him close too.
The three friends beamed as they basked in the affection and admiration shown by their fathers.
On the way home, Tommy and Tanner asked to be dropped off at the pool to pick up their bikes. They didn't want to chance leaving them chained to the racks overnight. It was also an opportunity for them to discuss how and what they would share with the rest of the family. Tark counseled his middle sons to tell their other two brothers about it, but to say that they needed to keep the names of the boys involved confidential. He would do the same with Teri later in the evening. Everyone would know that something was amiss since he'd been called to pick them up.
Nothing was said at the dinner table. Teri had answered the phone when Detective Roberts had called, so she knew that there was a story of some sort. Tim had been on duty at the pool in the morning, but had missed what went on in the afternoon. Tucker had been at Bobby's house and hadn't heard anything.
After the boys had cleared the table, loaded the dishwasher, and generally tidied up the kitchen, Tommy invited his brothers to his room.
"We have something to tell you that will probably make the news in one form or other. For obvious reasons, we can't tell you who was involved, but we can give you an idea of what went on so you won't be surprised if it comes up in conversation with some of your buddies."
"Is it like a police thing?" Tuck asked excitedly.
"As a matter of fact it is," Tanner joined the conversation. "Along with Andy, we caught a guy trying to molest a younger boy and we stopped it."
"Where was this?" Tim asked with a frown, fearing that he knew the answer.
"In the pool dressing room; actually in one of the toilet stalls," Tommy informed him.
"I thought it might be since you guys were heading for the pool the last I knew. Was the perpetrator a high school student?" Tim continued.
"Uh, he was someone under 18, but old enough to know better," Tanner said.
"What was he doing to the boy?" Tuck wanted to know.
"When we caught him, he was trying to make the boy suck his dick," Tommy answered. "From what was said, I got the feeling that he may have sucked the little kid's first. He said something about `only trying to make the boy feel good,' whatever that means."
"That's so gross!" Tuck exclaimed. "I don't know how you guys can enjoy it."
"You know how good it feels to jack off. Imagine how much better it would feel to have your dick in a warm, wet mouth and feel a guy's tongue flicking across the end of it." Tommy said graphically.
"Or imagine running your tongue across a hot, silky, throbbing piece of flesh that was oozing precum because of what you were doing!" Tanner added with a grin.
Tuck's shorts were tenting at the image of someone pleasuring him and he tried to readjust his package without being noticed. Of course that was impossible since his brothers were watching to see how he would react to their vivid descriptions.
"Shut up! You guys are trying to turn me queer." Tuck complained.
"It's not queer to enjoy a blowjob." Tim interjected. "Besides, you can't turn anyone gay. They either are or aren't. You know that already!"
"Back to your story," Tuck said trying to shift the spotlight away from him. "Can't you give at least a hint of who it was? I'd like to know who I can't turn my back on when I'm at the pool."
"This guy isn't going to be back there any time soon, if ever." Tommy assured him. "We took him to the manager first and she called the police. Since he's a juvenile, it's possible that he'll be sent to counseling and not go to reform school or whatever. We don't know. Anyway, you're big enough that he wouldn't mess with you!"
Tuck left as soon as he felt there was nothing more to be learned, but Tim stayed a few more minutes.
"You don't have to let me know if I'm right, but I'm guessing it's Mason. I've heard about his reputation with other guys and I remember that he and Andy were going to meet you there today and you've mentioned Andy, but not him. Don't worry; I'll keep it to myself."
"Thanks, Tim," Tommy said.
A couple of days later, Tark came home wearing a big grin. He swept Teri off her feet and turned her around in a circle before setting her back down.
"What's gotten into you?" she asked with a grin.
"My sperm count is as high as that of a 19 year old! The doctor said that at least one of my tubes must have grown back together – possibly both. It's a one in 100,000,000 chance or possibly greater. He thinks we've been playing Russian roulette in bed for a long time and that it's a wonder it didn't happen earlier. I'm feeling like a stud."
"You are a stud," she giggled. "High count or no count, you have a very impressive delivery system."
"Are the boys around?"
"I don't think so. How about showing me how virile you are?" Teri grinned as she led him into their bedroom.
Tucker, who had been sitting in his bedroom with the door open, grinned widely at what he'd overheard. He'd always figured his dad was a stud, and this proved it once again. That was the kind of man he wanted to be – fit, great looking, and always ready to fuck!
The middle brothers were off working on a big lawn. Since there were bushes to be trimmed as well as a lot of mowing, they had asked Andy to come along. He was happy for the money and also for the company. He still didn't have a large circle of friends at school to hang with.
The owner was away, but had entrusted the boys with a key to the utility shed where he stored the riding mower. Given the size of the property, that was a necessary piece of equipment. Had the boys needed to use their own riding mower, they'd have had to have gotten Tim or one of their parents to drive it over on the trailer.
They had stashed a cooler full of water in the shed for breaks. None of them was drinking much soda because they'd heard it wasn't that good for their bodies and they wanted to retain a competitive edge in their chosen sports.
As they sat in the shade taking a break, Andy looked around and shook his head thoughtfully.
"It was really cool that my dad actually hugged me at the station. I don't think he would have been so expressive if you're dad hadn't started it. He has a sort of out-dated idea of how a man is supposed to act. He's not as bad as his dad though."
"Our dad has always shown affection," Tommy said, as Tanner nodded.
"My biological father was never demonstrative. I might have grown up the same way if I hadn't been adopted into this cool family. I mean, I don't hate him or anything. I don't think he knew any better."
"I think `Detective Roberts' is going to change if he hangs around Tark, er Mr. Torrance." Andy smiled wanly. "Maybe he'll even stop being ashamed of me."
"What are you talking about?" Tanner asked. "He was so proud of you that I thought he'd pop the buttons off of his shirt."
"Yeah, I seem to have finally done something he can boast about."
"What about your win in track this spring? Surely he must have been impressed. All your teammates were." Tommy added.
"Yeah, but that's not a manly sport like football or wrestling. I'm not big enough for football and I've never wrestled."
"So? What's so great about butting heads or rolling around on a mat with another sweaty guy in your arms?" Tanner said before he thought about how good the latter sounded to him.
Andy gave a start when Tanner mentioned being in the arms of another guy. Tommy noticed and wondered.
"Besides, I feel kind of guilty about the whole thing with Mason," Andy continued. "Maybe I should have gone along with what he wanted. Maybe I'm partially responsible for him molesting that kid."
"You can never, never hold yourself responsible for what some other person does!" Tanner insisted. "People may try to push that on you rather than take responsibility for their own actions, but it's not true!"
"But, I did something I shouldn't have and it's going to change my life forever," Andy said as a couple of tears escaped from his eyes. "Can I trust you guys not to tell anyone? Please!"
"We can be as discreet as a priest," Tommy assured him.
"Okay, here goes. I'm putting my very life in your hands; don't let me down!"
"Are you gay?" Tommy asked in almost a whisper.
"I th-think so," Andy nodded as more tears joined the earlier two.
"It's okay," Tanner told the crying boy. "Believe me, we know how you feel."
"Yup, we're gay too," Tommy confirmed.
"Wow!" Andy sighed. "I'm so glad I told you. I have to talk to someone. I don't have many friends and I'll have fewer if people find out. I may not even have a home!"
"You have us," Tanner said gently, putting an arm around Andy's shoulder.
Tommy moved over to embrace them both. Then he kissed Andy's wet left cheek and Tanner kissed the right one.
"You can tell us anything you want and we'll understand and you can be assured that it won't go any further." Tanner said.
"But how can you be gay? They said last year at school that you were messing around with Sibyl and maybe got her pregnant."
"I'm gay; believe me. I didn't get her pregnant, but I'd have Tommy's baby if I could. Uh, we haven't done THAT anyway. I mean..."
"My boyfriend has a way of putting his foot in his mouth," Tommy joked. "We've both messed around some, but we've been faithful since we became a couple."
"Wow!" Andy said again. "Do your folks know you're gay?"
"Yup," they said in chorus.
"Wow!"
"Uh, I think you've already used up your daily quota of that word," Tanner giggled. "So are you feeling better now?"
"A lot better, because I know I have a couple of true friends, but I still feel guilty about Mason and that boy. I need to finish telling you the whole story.
You remember how you were concerned about me being alone with Mason; that he'd try something with me? I told you I knew about him, and allowed you to believe I thought being with a guy was disgusting and I'd use my kempo techniques on him. That wasn't exactly true.
When we mowed this lawn, we had access to this shed and took our breaks out here. Well, Mason wanted me to go into the shed with him. I was wearing shorts that were from a couple of years ago and pretty tight. I did that on purpose; I knew I was enticing him.
I lied to you guys at the pool about not doing anything with him. I know I had said all those macho things about what I'd do if he hit on me, but I secretly wanted to know what it was like to get a blowjob. He sucked me really good. I mean, I was in heaven! But then he wanted me to do him. I got scared and refused. I ran out and started the mower again. It was a good thing that I did because Mr. Johnson came with a gas can right then. If I'd have been on my knees in front of Mason, I'd have been caught.
Mason was still pissed that I didn't do him in return. That's why he practically shoved it in my mouth that day in the locker room at the pool. If I'd have gone home with him like he wanted, maybe he'd have left that boy alone."
"Bullshit!" Tommy exclaimed. "Like Tanner said, you can't blame yourself for what someone else does! We've all been so horny at times that we wanted to do whatever would give us relief, but we'd never force a child to do it!"
"I guess you're right," Andy said with a half smile. "I guess I'm not to blame, but I still wish I'd never have let him blow me. Maybe I could have been straight and gotten married and kept everyone happy."
"Maybe it's best that you found out when you did so that you don't get married and have kids and then either be miserable or get a divorce and make your kids unhappy or whatever."
"Thanks, guys! I guess I've taken up enough of your time being a wuss. I'm sorry about that, but I'm glad I told you everything. I feel so much better."
"You're welcome." Tanner said.
"Yup, talk to us whenever you want to," Tommy added. "Maybe you could stay over with us sometime this summer. We have an extra bunk in our room."
"That would be cool! I'm sure my dad would let me because he thinks your dad is a real man's man. He'd feel that I'd have a great role model."
"Let's hope he doesn't figure out that your companions are as queer as a three dollar bill!" Tanner quipped.

Interesting week we've had. My feelings about Osama are mixed. While I dislike our involvement in an assassination, I know that the man was evil. He may not be responsible for as many deaths as Hitler, but he was a very bad man. I'd hate to be in his shoes when he stands before God.
Please continue to hold tornado and flood victims in your thoughts and/or prayers. We're all in this together, whatever our political views.
