Chapter 8 Part 1

A howl rippled into the silent yard from the open window. The gun toting guy on the left side of the house dropped to his knees as did the three gentlemen standing on the right side of the house. Their heads flew back, but no sounds came from their open throats. The door flew open and Mr. Chamberland charged down the porch and right up to him. He gripped Rex by his shirt collar and lifted him up.

Rex was not sure what was taking place, but he defended himself. He kicked out, landing a hard blow to Mr. Chamberland’s chin as he thrust his hands up and into Mr. Chamberland’s throat. Mr. Chamberland released his hold and stumbled back, falling to his knees.

The gun toting guy leapt to Mr. Chamberland’s side and pointed the gun at Rex. Rex might not have a firearm, but that would not keep him from defending himself. He had taken TawKawnDo most of his life and faced down bullies every day of school. Guns might take him down with one shot, but he would go down fighting. He dropped into fight stance and watched the gun guy as Mr. Chamberland staggered to his feet.

“How dare you?” Mr. Chamberland jerked the gun from the guy’s hand and pointed it right at my temple. “Do you think you are stronger than a bullet?”

“Sir,” Larry moved to stand in between Mr. Chamberland and him, “Dalton explained to you that he is in the dark. As far as he knew, you attacked and he defended himself. He does not have a clue as to what his actions meant. Sir.”

“I can not have him behaving in such a manner.” Mr. Chamberland lowered the gun and moved so he stared at Rex. “Take him to my office. It is time he learns a few things about his dear mother and himself.” Mr. Chamberland shoved the gun back into the man’s hand and barked out a commander to get back to his post.

Everyone was motionless until Mr. Chamberland slammed the front door. Then they all dispersed. Larry came up to Rex’s side and took him by the arm.

“You can not ever do that again.” He leaned closer and dropped his voice to barely above a whisper. “That was amazing.” He then stood up taller and started moving them toward the front porch. “You will have to remain quiet and do as Mr. Chamberland says from now on. It will be a big adjustment for you, but just know it is in your best interest.”

Warmth zeroed in on my arm where Larry was rubbing a circle over the top of my forearm. Once he paused and glanced down, giving him a smile that spoke of nothing but pure adoration. Rex wasn’t sure what was going on with the people his mom had sent him to for the Summer, but one thing was clear the man looking at him, wanted him, even if he was closeted. That was the reason Rex would leave him be. He would not live a life hidden away. He was a man who wanted to be open about who he was and be true to himself, whoever that turned out to be. He’d yet to discover all the small aspects of his life, but they lay ahead of him, and once he found them, he’d find a partner that fit into his life. And that wouldn’t be someone in a closet.

“I’m sorry for what you are about to hear and I will be there for you as much as I can.” Larry opened the front door and waved me inside. “Go straight down the hall and to the room on the right. Knock. Wait to be told to enter. Then go and sit in front of the desk. Remain quiet until asked a question. Then listen to what he has to say. All the way through.”

“Why?”

“Trust me. You need to hear what he has to tell you. As much as it might hurt you.” Larry’s hand came to rest on the low part of Rex’s back and gave him a slight push forward. “I’ll be here when you are finished.”
