Chapter 13
When the alarm went off on Thursday morning Tyler was dead on his side. Tyler couldn't understand why he was so tired. Maybe he just needs some coffee in order for him to fully awaken. After turning off the alarm, Tyler turned his head to see Christian still sleeping peacefully. He must be more tired than Tyler is. Tyler wanted to give Christian more time to rest so he quietly slipped out of bed so not to disturb Christian to shower and dress for the day.
After dressing, Tyler went to get Terry ready for the day. Tyler didn't know Terry was awake until he'd pick Terry up from his crib. He's very quiet this morning. Once Terry's bath was done Tyler looked for something for Terry to wear. He felt around the dresser until he felt Terry's clothes lying on top. Christian must have laid it out last night so Tyler just finished dressing him before going back to his room to wake Christian with Terry in his arms.
"Chris." Tyler called but got no answer. Not even a mumble came from Christian. "Chris." Tyler called again but still got no answer. "Christian Michaels!" Tyler yelled.
The third time was the charm. Christian was suddenly awakened and sat up in an upright position. "Huh? What is it? What's going on?" He asked with his eyes surveying the room before they landed on Tyler.
"It's time to get up babe."
"What time is it?" Christian asked. "It looks like you guys are ready to go already."
Tyler pushed the button on his talking watch so Christian could hear the time. It read 7:30 am. "You slept through the alarm so I decided to get Terry ready to go while letting you get more sleep. You look like you needed it."
A small smile formed on Christian's face. He loves how Tyler can make the smallest gesture seem big. "Okay, thanks. I'll quickly shower and dress, then be down to help you with breakfast. I won't be to long, okay?"
"Okay. I'll see you downstairs." Tyler replied before leaving the room.
That same morning on the other side of the house Mark woke up with Carlos's hard cock snuggled between his ass cheeks. Mark could feel the vainly shaft throbbing between his legs as he woke and started using his thighs to stroke it. After a minute of stroking Carlos's cock, Mark decided he wanted to wake his lover in another way.
He carefully reached behind himself and took a hold of Carlos's dick and pointed it at his hole. Once Carlos' cock was in position, Mark pushed backward slowly impaling himself on the hard rod. Once Carlos's cock was all the way in, Mark gave it a couple of squeezes to loosen his ass muscles for the hard steel that was invading his most private region.
Slowly Mark started moving back and forth thrusting Carlos's cock in and out of his body. The motion soon had Carlos awake and taking over the action that was giving him so much pleasure throughout his whole body.
Carlos rolled Mark over onto his stomach and began thrusting away. He started out slow and gradually picking up the paste. ".Are you enjoying your early morning love making baby?" He asked as he thrust deeper into his lover.
"Hell yes. Don't stop." Mark answered in a moan. He raised his ass higher each time Carlos thrust into him. "Oh yes. That feels so good. Fuck me harder baby." He tilted his head back for him and Carlos to kiss. Carlos didn't hesitate to lean forward to connect his lips with Mark.
Mark then rose upon his hands and knees for a deeper penetration. Carlos grabbed Mark's waist and began thrusting deeper and harder. "Damn your ass is so tight." Mark just moaned his appreciation. He was enjoying it so much that words seems to fail him at the moment.
They fucked in that position for a while before Carlos rolled Mark onto his back and lifted his legs over his shoulders and began thrusting again. His dick never left Mark's ass. As they continued their sexual activity, they looked into each other eyes and smile. They never broke the eye contact.
By now sweat was rolling off their bodies and their moans became louder. Mark started to push his ass up higher as Carlos pushed forward for even deeper penetration. "Give it to me harder baby!" Mark cried out. Carlos was more than happy to oblige his man. "That's it! Give it to me. Give it to me!"
Mark's cries of encouragement from the pleasure he was receiving just urged Carlos to thrust even harder. "Your wish is my command." Now mark was really going wild! Carlos was hitting his prostate at just the right angle. Both guys can feel their orgasm coming on. As Carlos kept thrusting, Mark would squeeze his ass muscles around his cock on the outward strokes. Neither man could hold back any longer.
With one more powerful thrust, Carlos berry his cock deep in Mark's ass and exploded which in turn triggered Mark's own ejaculation. But it didn't end there. Carlos kept thrusting until he unloaded all of his cum in Mark's willing ass. When they were totally spent, Carlos collapsed on top of Mark.
It took them a while for them to catch their breath. Once they did, Carlos kissed Mark deeply. They held the kiss for a minute before Carlos broke it and suggested they take a shower. Mark agreed and the two headed off to the bathroom.
Down the hall Travis and Kevin was waking up also. Travis's hard cock was also wedged between Kevin's ass cheeks. Kevin raised his upper leg for Travis to gain access between them. Kevin then lowered his leg and started thrusting back and forth. Kevin used his thighs to stroke Travis's hard dick.
"Oh baby, that feels so good." Travis moaned. He grabbed Kevin's dick and started stroking it in rhythm of Kevin's thrust. Both men were enjoying the stimulation they were giving and receiving from their partner.
While stroking Kevin's dick, Travis started thrusting his cock between Kevin's legs. By now the precum was drooling from both cocks. Travis used Kevin's precum as lube to masturbate Kevin's dick. The action made the friction on Kevin's cock easier for Travis to give Kevin a hand job. "That feels good Trav, don't stop."
As Kevin continued to enjoy the hand job from Travis, he reached down and spread Travis's own precum around Travis's dick to use as lube also. He then tightened his legs to give Travis more pleasure as Travis continued to thrust back and forth. "That's it Kev. Squeeze harder baby." Kevin did and they were soon in a rhythmic motion. It wouldn't take long for both guys to reach the height of no return.
It wouldn't be difficult for anyone to figure out what was going on in the room if they were to walk by it. The loud moaning would have given it away but neither guy cared. They were to busy enjoying their time together. As they came closer and closer to their climax, the moans became louder and louder.
Kevin was the first to reach his orgasm, shooting his cum all over the sheets. The tightening of Kevin's legs around Travis's cock soon had Travis shooting his load all over the sheets as well. Once their orgasm had subsided, Travis brought his hand up to his mouth and licked Kevin's remaining cum from his hand before kissing Kevin and sharing the nectar with him.
Kevin and Travis laid in bed for a couple of minutes longer to regain their strength. When they felt strong enough to move, they got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower and dress. After dressing, they met everyone in the kitchen for breakfast.
When Tyler got to the kitchen, he put Terry in his highchair before getting out the ingredients for French toast, bacon, and hash browns. Tyler is glad Janet brought the highchair yesterday because he'd forgotten to put it on the list.
Once Tyler had the mixture of eggs, milk, and cinnamon ready he added the bread and started the French toast. Just then Christian walked into the kitchen followed by Carlos, Mark, Kevin, and Travis. Christian started frying the bacon while Tyler continued making the French toast. Travis made the hash browns while Carlos made the coffee and got out the milk and orange juice. Mark and Kevin set the table. When Tyler finished making the French toast, he placed them into the oven on a low temperature to keep them warm. Christian said he'll cook the eggs while Tyler feed Terry.
Tyler asked Christian if he could hand him a jar of pares to feed Terry but Terry wanted his bottle not a jar of pares. "Ba-ba da-da." Everyone started laughing at that including Tyler.
"You're not getting a bottle yet Terry. You need to eat first." Tyler told him with a smile. Tyler was sure it wasn't the first time that Terry had said da-da but it was nice for Tyler to hear Terry calling him that. Tyler thought he would never hear his son call him da-da.
While the others were making breakfast and Tyler fed Terry, he turned on the television to hear the news. Although there was still nothing on Jeff mother, there was a segment on Karmyn's Place which left Tyler angry and staring at the television.
It looks like Mr. Johnson couldn't keep his word. Not only that, he wants to make it publicize. It states in their contract if any information of the deal leaks out on Mr. Johnson behalf within two weeks of signing the contract, Mr. Johnson will reimburse Tyler two hundred fifty thousand dollars of that million dollar deal. Bringing the cost of the restaurant back to its original price and Tyler intend on seeing that happens.
Now all Tyler needs to do is call Scanner about the breech of contract and have Scanner file a suit against Mr. Johnson. Tyler can't figure out what was going through Mr. Johnson's mind. Maybe Mr. Johnson thinks he can become rich or famous by disclosing the deal on television but it's going to cost him a lot of money which may more likely put him in the whole.
"Isn't that the guy that sold you the restaurant?" Christian asked.
"Yes it is." Tyler answered, still staring at the television. "He wasn't supposed to inform anyone of the deal until the two weeks trial period is up. That way I can inform the employees and catch up on the operation of the restaurant. This little stunt will cost him a couple hundred thousand dollars!" He said, still furious.
"I take it he'll be going to court for a breech of contract?" Christian asked smiling. "I know you won't let him get away with that stunt."
Tyler just smiled back. Christian knows Tyler can't let anyone try to rip him off. If Mr. Johnson had waited until the trial period was over, Tyler would have no problems with his interview. Since greed took over his senses, Tyler has no other choice than to snap it back into place.
By the time Tyler had calm down, Terry was finished eating and the others had finished making breakfast. Tyler handed Terry his bottle and Christian and the others prepared their plates and Christian prepared one for Tyler also. During breakfast Tyler asked Christian to go to the restaurant with him after his meeting with Mrs. Dunbar. Christian decided to go to the restaurant but not to the meeting. Christian knows Tyler can handle the meeting with Mrs. Dunbar himself.
Once breakfast was over, they cleared up and everyone headed to their receptive jobs. Travis kissed Kevin goodbye before leaving for work. Christian decided to take Tyler to his office in his car with Mark and Carlos trailing behind since he'll be going to the shops afterward.
Before going to his office, Travis looked around to find Troy. Not seeing Troy anywhere Travis went to check the schedule. He could have sworn that Troy was on the early shift today. When Travis looked at the schedule he saw that Troy wasn't due to report for work for another hour so he went to his office to start working.
When the others got to Tyler's office, everyone said good morning to Janet before Tyler informed her to put Mrs. Dunbar in the meeting room and call the restaurant to have all the employees there by eleven o'clock for a meeting. When they walked into Tyler's office, Christian headed to the nursery to put Terry in his playpen while Tyler opened up the office.
"Scanner should be here soon. Are you sure you don't want to be in the meeting?" Tyler asked Christian and added with a grin. "You might want to see her face when the information we have on her is presented to her at the meeting. I'm sure she won't be expecting it."
"Yes I'm sure." Christian replied. "You have everything under control and I want to remain the ace in the whole in case they play even dirtier. I don't think Cindy Campbell is going to give up until she ruins you completely."
Tyler some what agreed to what Christian was saying. "She can try, but she won't succeed." Just then the intercom buzzed. It was Janet informing him that Scanner was there. Tyler told her to send him in.
When Scanner came into the office, Tyler told him to have a seat and explained what was going to happened in the meeting. Number one will be the information on the friendship of Mrs. Dunbar, The Donavan's, and Cindy Campbell and Alexander James. Number two will be the video and criminal background on the Donavan's. Number three, and the most damaging information will be the information they have on her and Alexander James. Christian and Tyler know Mrs. Dunbar doesn't want that piece of information to get out.
By the time the discussion was over, Janet had buzzed Tyler on Mrs. Dunbar's arrival. "Put her in the meeting room please Janet. We'll be there soon." Tyler informed her again. Before he and Scanner left the office, Christian kissed Tyler and wished him good luck. Christian then went to the nursery to see if Terry needed changing. Terry's diaper was still dry so Christian went back to the office to use the computer. He wanted to check his accounts. After finding what needed from his accounts, Christian watched some television while waiting for Tyler to return.
While working at his desk on base, Travis kept his eyes on the clock and the area outside his office for Troy's arrival. When Troy reported to work Travis kept a close eye on him. So far Troy hasn't done anything out of the ordinary but Travis knew that wouldn't last and he stayed on guard. Like Christian said, Troy is probably already planning another way to ruin Tyler's project.
When Tyler and Mr. Scanner got to the meeting room, Scanner whispered to him that Mrs. Dunbar was sitting at the head of the table with a big smile on her face. Tyler knew he have to show Mrs. Dunbar what disrespect is.
Tyler walked up to her and firmly said. "You have two choices. Either you remove yourself from that chair, or I will remove you from it. You will not disrespect me or my company in any way. Is that understood?"
Mrs. Dunbar laughed. "I'd like to see you try." She said through her laughter. Little did she know Tyler was dead serious with his order and wasn't afraid to show it. No one will disrespect him in his own company.
Tyler dropped the folders he was carrying on the table and pushed Mrs. Dunbar out of the chair and onto the floor before sitting down in his seat and smiled at her. Tyler thought if Mrs. Nichole Dunbar wanted to see disrespect then he was going to show her disrespect.
"You big asshole!" Mrs. Dunbar yelled angrily as she got off the floor and sat in another chair fuming.
"Oh, my boyfriend is always saying my asshole is very tight." Tyler retorted with a big smile on his face. "Of course you will never find out how tight it really is. Now let's get down to business, shall we?"
"We have no business to discuss." Mrs. Dunbar responded. "Jeff is placed with good people and will never be place with you fagots. I'll make sure of that, so this meeting is pointless Tyler." She added in an icy tone.
"That's Mr. Jackson to you Nichole." Tyler replied in the same icy tone. "As far as Jeff being placed with me, I think he will be." He said with a devious smile before continuing. "I found some very interesting information on the Donavan's that the courts might like to hear." Tyler then nodded for Scanner to give Mrs. Dunbar the folder on the Donavan's.
"Where did you get this?" She asked with a surprise look on her face after reading the file. "No one should have this piece of information so where did you find it?"
"It wasn't hard to find." Tyler replied. "You would have found it if you had done a complete background check on the Donavan's like you was supposed to do but I know why you didn't." He nodded for Scanner to give her the next folder. "If you don't want your supervisor to find out this information, you will give me guardianship of my son."
"This doesn't scare me." Mrs. Dunbar tore up the paper thinking she has the upper hand. Tyler's going to disarm her of that idea. "You can't prove anything about the Donavan's. Evidence had already been erased from records. No one will find this peace of information out." She said smirking.
Tyler smirked back. "You think I'm stupid enough not to have other copies? I have several copies. One of them will go to your boss if I don't get my son back." He paused to let that sink in. When Mrs. Dunbar didn't say anything, Tyler continued. "Now if you're still debating with yourself. I have another piece of information I'm sure you don't want your husband to find out." Tyler finished with an evil smirk and nodded to Scanner again.
Scanner slid the last folder over to Mrs. Dunbar to read. After reading it, Mrs. Dunbar gasped. She couldn't believe that Tyler had gotten that particular information. She can see that Tyler Jackson has her over a barrel now and can throw that barrel over the water fall at any time.
"As you can see, I have the power to destroy your professional as well as your personal life. So what's it going to be?" Tyler asked her in a threatening manner. "I don't want to destroy your life. But believe me, I will if I have to."
"I'll get you for this! Even if it's the last thing I do!" Mrs. Dunbar replied angrily before pulling out the papers to sign giving over guardianship of Jeff to Tyler. She was not a happy camper.
"I'm sure you'll try, but trust me, you won't succeed." Tyler responded with a satisfied smile of victory. "By the way, you're also signing papers giving me custody of Terrence Jackson." He added. Giving her a don't fight me on this one either look.
Mrs. Dunbar tried to say Tyler had to turn Terrence over to the police as an abandon child before social services could get involve. Tyler told her there are no way social services or the police was getting near his son and to sign the papers giving him guardianship of Terry.
Once Mrs. Dunbar had signed the papers, she handed them to Tyler. Tyler handed them to Scanner to make sure they were legal and in proper order. Tyler wanted to make sure his boys couldn't be taken away again. When Scanner assured Tyler they were; he handed the papers back to him.
"Before you leave, I'll need your signature on these forms also." Mr. Scanner informed Mrs. Dunbar. Tyler looked at him with a look that says what the fuck are you doing. "They're petitions stating that neither you nor the department of social services will deny Tyler in adopting Jeff and Terry."
Tyler looked back at Mrs. Dunbar. "Oh, don't worry. I'll go through the proper channels. I just want to make sure there's no trouble along the way." Then he mouthed thank you to Scanner as Mrs. Dunbar signed the forms. Scanner squeezed Tyler's hand as to say you're welcome. Once those papers were signed also, Mrs. Dunbar handed them back over to Scanner. Scanner looked them over before handing them to Tyler.
Turning his attention back to Mrs. Dunbar, Tyler said. "I think our business is completed here. Please call the Donavan's to inform them I'll be picking Jeff up in thirty minutes. Be sure to let them know if they try anything, they'll pay for it." He warned her in a dangerous tone.
Mrs. Dunbar got up and stormed out of the room. She hated that Tyler Jackson had put one over on her. Not only that, she now have to tell her friend Cindy Campbell that she lost another battle with Tyler Jackson. After she left, Scanner and Tyler headed back to Tyler's office.
When Tyler reached his office, he told Christian that Mrs. Dunbar agreed to give guardianship of Jeff and Terry to them and not fight them on the adoption. They now have to go get Jeff. Christian jumped to his feet ready to go. Tyler told Christian to wait a few more minutes because he have some files to lock up and Change Terry's diaper and get him ready to go.
Christian said he will change Terry's diaper and get him ready while Tyler locks up the files. By the time Tyler had the files locked up in the safe and was ready to go, so was Christian and Terry.
On the way out, Tyler grabbed his briefcase and Terry's diaper bag plus informed Janet to cancel all of his morning appointments. He will call if he needs to cancel his afternoon appointments. On the way down stairs Tyler contacted Carlos to have him and Mark to meet Tyler and Christian at the front door. When they reached the front door, Carlos and Mark were waiting for them. They hopped into the truck and headed for the Donavan's house to get their son back.
Travis was still watching Troy when he saw Troy walked toward his superior's office. He thought nothing of it because all day other marines had been going in and out of their superior's office. But Travis knew Troy though, so he figure he better find out if this was military related or another plot to ruin Tyler's project.
Travis walked down to the office to find out what was going on. All of the other marines paid no attention to him. They just thought Travis needed to discuss military business with the General so kept busy with their work. Only one other marine had an idea as to why Travis was going that way but didn't say anything about it.
When Travis reached the office he saw Troy go into a couple of minutes earlier, he found it shut. He slowly turned the knob and quietly opened the door a crack to hear what was being said. "This is not going to be as easy as we thought." He heard Troy say. "Christian had already threatened me that if Tyler Jackson gets hurts in any way he's coming after me or the person who'd caused Tyler harm."
"I don't care what Christian Michaels thinks he can do." The General told Troy. "This project can't get off the ground. If it does, it will definitely ruin all of my plans. I need General Christian Michaels to fail and fail he will, understood?"
"I have a lot to lose here too Joseph, you know?" Troy replied in the same cold voice as the General. "The only thing standing in the way of me getting what I want is Tyler Jackson. I need him out of my way just as much as you need Christian out of yours."
"Good. If we play this right, then we'll both get what we want. Now here's what we'll do." The General went on to tell Troy of his plan with some moderation being thrown in by Troy which the General likes. Travis stood at the door and listen. The more he listened, the more he got disgusted with what he heard. By the time Travis heard all the details of the plan, he knew he had to talk with Christian and Tyler.
Once the two Generals had the details ironed out, Travis knew the discussion was over. He quietly closed the door just as quietly as he opened it and headed back to his office. Travis knew he couldn't make any big plans until he talk to Christian and Tyler, but he could make some small ones for now.
Mean while, Tyler and the others were heading to the Donavan's to pick up Jeff. When the guys got to the Donavan's, Christian stayed in the truck with Terry while Tyler, Carlos, and Mark walked up to the front door and rang the bell.
Carlos and Mark recognized the male who answered the door. "May I help you gentlemen?" It was the same man who answered the door on the first day Mrs. Dunbar brought Jeff here.
"Mr. Donavan, I presume?" Tyler asked and he replied yes. "I'm Tyler Jackson. I'm here to pick up Jeff. Can you get him for me please? We need to get going. I'm on a tight schedule today."
"Oh yes." Mr. Donavan said condescendingly. "Mrs. Dunbar said you would be stopping by. But like I told Mrs. Dunbar I'm not letting you fags anywhere near Jeff."
Tyler looked at him with threatening eyes. "We can do this the easy way by you giving me Jeff, or we can do this the hard way and I call the police. Trust me Mr. Donavan; you won't like the information I have to give them." He nodded to Mark who handed Mr. Donavan the envelope.
Mr. Donavan took a while to think about it after reading the papers he was given. Tyler told him he has two more minutes then he will call the police. Tyler knows Mr. Donavan doesn't want to cops to know how he's pimping out his wife nor does he want the cops to know his clients names, which Tyler has a list of.
Mr. Donavan caved in at the last minute. He had no choice but to surrender. Tyler knew Mr. Donavan didn't want the information to leak out but unfortunately for him the information will get to the police. Tyler will not let a child molester who's trying to cause trouble for him to be able to foster children and receive money from the state to do it.
Mr. Donavan told them to wait at the door while he gets Jeff before shutting it. Tyler told Carlos to watch the garage because he didn't believe Mr. Donavan will give Jeff to them. In fact, Tyler thinks he will try to escape with Jeff.
Just as Tyler suspected, the Donavan's tried to escape with Jeff. Five minutes after Mr. Donavan went to get Jeff they could hear a car being started in the garage. A couple of seconds later the car sped out of the garage, therefore leaving Tyler, Carlos, and Mark standing at the door.
"Let's go." Tyler told Carlos and Mark as they ran back to the SUV with Mark holding Tyler's hand. As soon as they got in and Carlos got the car started, Mr. Donavan sped out of his driveway. Carlos threw the car in drive and took off after him.
"What's going on?" Christian asked no one in particular. Mark explained that the Donavan's decided not to hand over Jeff. Instead they decided to kidnap Jeff as Carlos is chasing after them now. "That bastard, I'll kill him!" Christian nearly shouted.
Tyler told Christian not to worry as he pulled out his cell phone to call the police when Mark said the Donavan's was going down Princeton Avenue heading for interstate ninety. That interstate goes to the other side of town so Tyler instead called his Lieutenant friend Steven Hunter. Tyler informed Steve that they're chasing a kidnapper to his side of town and the kidnapped child is his foster child Jeff so proceed with caution before handing the phone to Mark to give Steve the description of the vehicle.
Tyler hopes Jeff is wearing his seatbelt because this guy is driving recklessly. Not only is he speeding down the interstate but he's also jumping from lane to lane according to Mark. Not slowing down or using his signals. He was also ignoring all the flashing lights coming from all the police cruisers that have joined them by now. He's lucky he hasn't caused any accidents yet. Tyler and Christian thought that if anything happens to Jeff, Mr. Donavan will be dead before he can even get arrested. No one hurts their kids and expects to get away unharmed.
After thirty minutes of this guy driving like a maniac, Christian informed Tyler that Mr. Donavan was getting off on exit ten as he predicted. Tyler thought that would be the exit he'd takes. That exit goes to Steve district from interstate ninety so he and his precinct should be waiting for The Donavan's once they exit off the interstate.
Can you believe it? Mr. Donavan actually tried to go through a road block, which left the police shooting at his tires. The bullets planted in his tires caused Mr. Donavan to lose control of the car leaving it spinning out of control. The car swerved and then flipped over a few times. No doubt the car is total. Everyone in the SUV just hope that Jeff is okay because Carlos and Mark really don't want to try to hold Christian or Tyler back if he isn't.
After hearing what Troy and Joseph was planning for Christian and Tyler, Travis called Kevin to meet him for lunch. Travis was angry and he needed to see Kevin's face to calm down. Kevin answered the phone on the third ring. The two exchanged pleasantry before Travis asked Kevin. "Can you meet me for lunch Kev?" Kevin said he could and asked where. "How about we meet at the sandwich shop close to my base where we had lunch before?"
"Sure, I can do that." Kevin answered. "How about we meet in say an hour?" Travis told him that was fine. "Great. See you in an hour than. I can tell you're worry about something, I can hear it in your voice. We can talk about it over lunch if you want?"
"Yes I'm worry and angry over something. That's why I called and asked you to meet me for lunch. I need to see your face to calm down and smile. Plus I want to have lunch with you."
That put a smile on Kevin's face. "Okay Trav. I'll see you in an hour baby." Travis said okay and called Kevin baby also. They both said goodbye and hung up.
After talking to Kevin, Travis tried to get some of his work done. It was difficult for him but he managed to get half of it done by the time he needed to meet Kevin for lunch. An hour later, Travis locked up his office and headed out.
As the police surround the Donavon's car with their guns drawn, Carlos pulled up to the curb with six police cruisers behind them. When they got out of the SUV, Tyler asked Carlos to find and bring Steve to him. While they waited for Carlos to return with Steve, Tyler checked on Terry to find him asleep. He then called Janet to have her call and close the restaurant. He'll call to have the meeting there when he's finished here.
Once the call was completed, Carlos and Steve walked up to them. Two officers from their own district walked up to them from the other side. Before the two officers could say anything Steve spoke to Tyler. "Hey Tyler. What's going on man?" He asked.
"Not much Steve." Tyler replied. "I just wanted you to know as soon as you guys pull everyone out of the car and have them checked out by the EMT's, I want the child brought to me and the two adults arrested."
Before Steve could answer Tyler one of the officers spoke. "That won't be happening. Those people in that car are the foster parents of the child. But your little group will be getting a ticket for speeding and reckless endangerment."
"Excuse me. I don't think we have been introduced. I'm Lieutenant Steve Hunter of the Los Angeles police department (LAPD) on the east side."
"I'm Sergeant Thomas Dunbar and my partner Sergeant Alexander James of the Los Angeles police department (LAPD) on the west side." Sgt. Dunbar introduced him and his partner before continuing. "Those people are the foster parents of the child in question and have the right to take him anywhere."
"Well, we got a call about a kidnapping and this car fits the description. So unless you or they can show me verification on that, they'll be arrested on kidnapping, reckless driving, and child endangerment charges."
While Lt. Hunter and Sgt. Dunbar were discussing who Jeff's foster parents were, Tyler went into the SUV to pull out the paper from his briefcase that he got from Mrs. Dunbar this morning.
"Here you go Lt. Hunter. Mrs. Dunbar, Jeff's social worker signed over custody of Jeff to me this morning. The Donavon's tried to run off with Jeff when I went to pick him up and led us on a high speed chase down here." Tyler said to Steve as he handed him the papers.
Steve looked over the papers before handing them to Sgt. Dunbar and saying. "According to these papers, Tyler Jackson is the foster parents of the child as of this morning. So the Donavon's will be arrested and the child will be handed over. I believe your business is concluded now. If you try to interfere, I can and will have you arrested."
The two sergeants walked away angry but they kept looking back and glaring at Tyler. At that moment, everyone was freed from the car and was being checked over by the paramedic while Tyler and the others waited with grins on their faces for Steve to bring Jeff to them.
The paramedic said Jeff had a couple of bumps and bruises but nothing major because he was wearing his seatbelt. Christian wanted to beat Mr. Donavan into a bloody pulp but Tyler restrained him. Tyler told Christian with the charges they have today and the papers he gave to Steve they'll be in prison for a very long time. Then they can laugh in their faces.
They thanked Steve for his help as Steve handed Tyler back the forms. Tyler told Steve to keep in contact before they climbed into the truck heading to the restaurant. Once they were on the way, Tyler called Janet to have the employees to meet him there in one hour.
When Travis arrived at the sandwich shop he found Kevin waiting for him. Kevin met him half way and they walked up to the counter to order. After receiving their orders they walked back to the table where Kevin was sitting when Travis walked in.
"Now tell me what's got you so worry and angry?" Kevin asked Travis before taking a drink of his soda. "Maybe I can help you with it, what ever it is." He said before taking a bite of his sandwich.
Travis told Kevin about the plot against Christian and Tyler he heard at work. He told Kevin every detail. He didn't leave anything out. "I know I need to talk to Christian and Tyler about this. I just wanted to see your face to put me in a better mood." He smiled at Kevin.
Kevin smiled back at him. "Then I hope I'm doing my job right. Because I love seeing that gorgeous smile on your face. That smile really suits you. You should be wearing it at all times."
Travis smile grew even bigger. "That's because your smile always makes me smile. I'm always happy when I'm with you that I just want to show you how happy I really am."
That made Kevin blush. Travis just kept smiling. For the rest of their lunch the two just made small talk. When lunch was over, they went to Baskin Robin's for some ice cream. Since it was a nice day they ate their ice cream at one of the tables outside the store just enjoying each other company. When they finished their ice cream, Travis went back to the base and Kevin went back home.
When the others arrived at Karmyn's Place, Tyler used his keys that he got the day he signed the contract to open the door. Everyone was already there waiting for them. Tyler sat at the back booth with his party and told the employees to gather around. Tyler ordered a coke for everyone except for him and Jeff. Tyler got Jeff an orange soda and a diet coke for himself.
When the drinks came, Tyler began the meeting. He informed the employees that he owned the restaurant now and they'll be some changes coming soon and he expects for the new changes to be followed. While Tyler was conducting his meeting Christian was feeding Terry a bottle.
First, anyone who feels they can't work for Tyler due to the scandals or his sexuality is free to leave. Second, there'll be construction done in the near future which will close the restaurant for about a month or two and everyone will get that time off with pay. Third, the managers will need to hire more help. Finally, everyone will receive a five dollar an hour raise and full health benefits.
The managers wanted to know what kind of construction will be done and which service needed to be hire. Tyler said all services, including manager. More likely teenage waiters, waitresses, and cashier because this part of the restaurant will be move to the top floor and will have the bottom floor for a teenage hang out.
Once everything was taken care of, Tyler informed the managers about the new policy. Such as the timecards, nightly deposits, and everything else they needed to know for running the restaurant to the best of their ability. After the meeting, they headed back to Tyler's office.
On the way, they stopped at the McDonald's drive through for lunch. When they got to Tyler's office, they had lunch while discussing security for Jeff when he attends school in about two and a half weeks.
Tyler told Mark to contact Mr. Chang for eight more security detail. Four will be Jeff's security detail, two details will be for Christian, and the last two will be for Tyler since he now have a baby with him at all times. When they're together, all of the security details including Mark and Carlos will need to be around at all times.
Christian really didn't want security because of his military career but Tyler told him he'll be in more danger of being kidnapped due to the scandals going on with him. Christian's been seen with Tyler and that will give any crazy nut any ideas.
Christian agreed to two security details but no more. Mark said he'll call Mr. Chang and get on it and should have them in place within a couple of days. "The last time I spoke with him he told me the training for his new security was just completed and they were waiting for their placement."
Tyler nodded his okay. They finished their lunch and then Christian headed to his shops while Carlos and Mark went to check on some buildings that Tyler's interested in.
The rest of Travis's day went by with no problems from Troy. He was able to get all of his work finished early which allowed him to leave work earlier than he usually does. On his way out, Travis took one more look to make sure Troy wasn't starting anything up before he leaves. That will keep him there long than he wanted to be.
The rest of the day also went by with no problems for the others. Tyler even had time to call his accountant. He wanted to see how his stocks were doing and if he had enough to do what he was thinking of doing.
Well, to say Tyler was shock was an understatement. The five hundred thousand dollars that he invested four months ago had done well. The two Adventure one Capitol where Tyler invested fifty thousand a piece had earned him half a million each. The other investments had gotten him a few thousand here and there. So far Tyler made 2.5 million in investments.
Tyler told his accountant to pull all his investments except the Adventure One Capitol and invest in Microsoft, Disney, and The Lucky Shop. Tyler also said to put one million in his money management account, one million in his checking account and the rest in saving, CD's, and other safe investments.
After getting off the phone with his accountant, Tyler checked his balances in his accounts. Just as he thought, Tyler can do what he had in mind with out touching any other accounts. He called his sister to have the paper work drawn up. Tyler explained what he intended to do, how much he's offering, and the stipulations. Tye said she will have the papers drawn up and overnight mailed to his office. Tyler should have them by 11 am tomorrow. By the time that was all done it was time to close the office so he shut everything down, gathered the kids, wished Janet a good night while locking his office, and headed to the lobby.
The first to arrive home was Christian. Since he was the first home Christian decided to start dinner after changing his clothes. He was soon joined by Kevin. Five minutes later Travis arrived and joined them after changing clothes himself.
When the others got home, they found Christian, Kevin and Travis already there making dinner. Tyler put Terry into his high chair after Christian kissed him hello and quickly changed clothes to help them with dinner.
When Tyler got back to the kitchen, Christian said the potatoes were boiling for the mash potatoes and the green beans with mushroom sauce were on low to stay warm. Tyler love when Christian makes the mushroom sauce. It's actually better then his.
Tyler started to make the meatloaf they were having by added the ground Italian sausage, ground beef, and turkey ground beef to the bowl of green peppers, onions, and celeries that Christian and Tyler had chopped the night before. Tyler then mixed a cup of milk with two eggs and added that to the mixture with a couple cloves of garlic.
Once everything was coded and moist, Tyler placed it into a baking pan and formed a loaf before putting it into the oven. In the mean time Carlos was making ice tea while Mark was making lemonade. Travis was making the gravy while Kevin was setting the table. While the meatloaf and potatoes was cooking Christian and Tyler had a conversation about Tyler's plan.
Tyler told Christian he wanted them to join together to buy the three McDonald's franchises in Malibu. That's fifteen restaurants. The deal will cost about two hundred thousand dollars per restaurant, a million for each franchise. They can each put 1.5 million in and be equal partners. They can move the corporate office to the Néné Incorporated building and hire a president to run that department.
Christian was all for the idea. In fact he told Tyler he'd been wondering how difficult it was to run a fast food franchise like McDonald's than running a clothing franchise. Tyler told him the meeting is schedule at the Hilton hotel on London Street for 2 pm tomorrow to discuss the deal.
By then, the meatloaf and potatoes was done. Christian placed the meatloaf on a platter while Tyler mashed the potatoes and placed it in a serving bowl. Travis did the same with the green beans and gravy. Once everything was set out, Christian went to get Jeff and Terry for dinner while Tyler poured the ice tea for them. Carlos, Mark, Kevin, and Travis decided to have lemonade. Dessert was Ice cream sundaes
After dinner and clearing up, everyone went into the living room to watch a movie. Christian was holding and feeding Terry his bottle wile watching the movie. He had already fed him a jar of strain spaghetti. Jeff was lying with his head on Tyler's lap. Travis was cuddled up behind Kevin on the couch while Carlos was holding Mark in a recliner. Around nine o'clock Jeff and Terry had fallen asleep.
When they couldn't stay up any longer they called it a night. Tyler went around locking up and setting the alarm while Christian put Jeff and Terry to bed. The others went to their rooms with Mark stopping in the kitchen to start the dish washer. Soon after putting the kids in bed and locking up, Christian and Tyler headed for bed themselves. Today's activities were catching up to Tyler but all is right with his world now. He didn't even feel Christian crawl into bed because Tyler was so tired he was out the minute his head hit the pillow.
To Be Continued...
Writer's Corner:
Welcome back one and all to another chapter of Best Friends. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I did writing it. Now let's get to the summary of this chapter, shall we?
We started off with Tyler waking up and getting himself and Terry ready. He decided to let Christian sleep a little longer.
When Tyler woke Christian up, Christian asked Tyler what time it was. I demonstrated how a visually impaired person can tell time in this chapter. A talking watch is one way. There's another way that might come up in this story. Would you guys like to see that?
How many of you guys like the sex seen between Kevin and Travis? I didn't want to go too deep into that because these guys are still learning about what the other likes.
Mrs. Dunbar thought she had Tyler right where she wanted him in regarding Jeff. Tyler showed her she was wrong on that case. What's in those files that gotten Mrs. Dunbar so afraid? How did Tyler's people find out that information?
Did you guys like the way Tyler show Mrs. Dunbar what disrespect was? It looks like Mrs. Dunbar fell on her ass in more ways than one during that meeting. It looks like Tyler and Scanner covered their backs completely this time or did they? Keep reading to find that out.
Well, it looks like Troy is still scheming to ruin Tyler's project but now he has a partner. Who is this General and why is he trying to destroy Christian? What will Christian and Tyler do about this? Can Christian hold Tyler back and can Tyler hold Christian back?
The Donavan's did what Tyler expected they would do when he went to pick up Jeff. The Donavan's led them on a high speed chase on the freeway to the other side of town. What the hell was Mr. Donavan thinking trying to run through a road block? During that incident the police got involved. Sgt. Dunbar and Sgt. James thought they had everything under control and was going to take Jeff away from Tyler again. Tyler had the paper work to disprove them of that agenda.
Kevin met Travis for lunch again to calm his anger and worries. These two seems to be getting closer but will it last? Only future chapters can tell that.
The rest of the day went well for everyone. Why was Tyler checking his accounts? What is Tyler planning to do? How much will it cost him to do it?
We found out in this chapter what the other business Tyler is planning to buy. Why is Tyler buying all of the McDonald's in Malibu? Part of that question was answered in this chapter and previous chapters.
If I had missed anything in my corner, maybe my editor will catch it in her corner. I need to get started on writing the next chapter for you guys to enjoy.
So much is going on and not enough time to write it all out! New plots are going to open and some will close. Keep reading the future chapters and enjoy! Please let me know how I'm doing. I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions at {romeo.jacobmillertex@gmail.com} thanks.
Editor's Corner:
Now that Tyler had the meeting with the restaurant, what problems if any will accrue? The manager may not like the changes that Tyler will make.
What does Tyler fear with getting all this security? He seems to be worrying about something. Christian will have to talk to Tyler soon.
A little excitement with getting Jeff back glad he was not hurt badly in the accident.
Who else was able to continue the sex scene with Carlos and Mark?
So stick around and drop a line to let Romeo know how you are enjoying the story.
