JOCKEY HOLLOW
Jockey Hollow is a small hamlet in the northeastern tip of Nebraska. It is a haven for gay men who come here to escape the homophobic nature of the Bible Belt. Its population is made up primarily of young men in their late teens-mid-thirties. The stories revolve around the gays and the sex lives they lead. There are bisexual characters who have girlfriends, these girls are also some of the prominent characters.
It has been a long day in Jockey Hollow. Many things have happened. Many things are about to happen; many things that will change lives for ever. This day is not over, no far from over, the people of this town are about to go through another ordeal, another kind of terror, a terror that will change everything for two people who have found themselves in love again.
EPISODE LI
Nicole sat facing Joey at the diner. They were eating burgers, fries, and sodas. They stared at each other, in a way that suggested they were in love. A love that had been tested.
"You ever think about having a three way with me?" Nicole asked.
"What?"
"Me, you and another guy."
Joey had considered this prospect, but the opportunity never presented itself.
"I think it would be hot," Joey said.
"Imagine it, Joey. You fucking me as a guy fucks you. That would make me wild."
"What brought this on, Nic?"
"Considering my life with a bi-boyfriend."
"We could look for guys who are into that."
"Couple swapping, now there's a concept. It really turned me on to see you and Bryan fucking on the floor last night."
"Mr. North is happy we're together. What triggered this interest in gay sex?"
"I saw Cooper in the woods with some tall kid. I tell you, I was so into it."
"I thought you were gonna burst at Bryan's. You were so horny."
Nicole smiled.
"I love you, Joey."
"I love you too."
They leaned in and kissed, long, hard, and very tongue-filled.
At the counter, Kenny sat with a cup of coffee. He was watching the two of them and smiled. He turned back to John.
"Have you seen the Sheriff yet?
"No. I'm gonna head there next."
"He'll be happy to see you."
"You got any more coffee in that pot?"
"Yes," John sat, refilling it. "So, what brings you back here? Missed us?"
"Well I did feel at home here, but I'm on another investigation. We're looking into cyber crimes. Those men who prey on minors in Internet chat rooms and talk them into meeting for sex. I have spoken to your neighbor, but he is uncooperative."
"Talking about me, Agent Westmoreland?"
"Ah, speak of the devil."
"The usual Johnny. I'll take it my booth."
North turned and approached Joey and Nicole. He said hello and told Joey something pertaining to the job, them proceeded to his booth in the back of the diner. Kenny took his and the cup of coffee John poured for Jack over to the booth and sat opposite.
"I don't recall inviting you?
"I don't need one."
"I was here the night you gave your stirring speech on who murdered those hustlers. I stood outside and watched from the parking lot. I thought ‘How brilliant this man is, how different from the stereotypical FBI agent. Hoover would be proud of this man. He's strong, decisive, willing to go out on a limb.' But then I met you an hour ago and my opinion changed."
"Fortunately, doing my job doesn't hinge on your opinion of me, Mr. North. And I will do my job, whether you help me or not."
John brought over a turkey club and a glass of seltzer. Jack smiled and started to eat. Kenny stood and walked to the door. He said goodbye to John and gave a long lasting stare to North before leaving.
...
Cooper was on-line. He could hardly believe it. He was looking at the "Bad puppy" web site. He was browsing the guest pages. This was the third web site that asked for a high fee to join in order to view the "hardcore" pictures. Cooper thought that most people wouldn't be able to join these sites since they were so expensive. And besides, who would continually go back to them so that they would get their money's worth. The pictures he was viewing were good though, good for freebies. Patrick was at the cappuccino bar taking care of customers. He made two cappies for a young man and his girlfriend. Patrick could not help but stare at this man. He was great looking and he was wasted on a girl. He smiled to himself, imaging himself being fucked by his cock. Imaging the girlfriend discovering them together and breaking up right there.
"Here you go," Patrick said and went to where Cooper was.
"This is pretty cool."
"Try this one," Patrick said, typing in a URL. On the screen now was a picture of blond in underwear with the outline of a long cock. "Recognize him?"
"Oh yes!" Cooper said. "That's what's his name from ‘Slave To Cock.'"
"You know your porn. That's Zak Spears and this his unofficial web page. Official FREE web site. Have fun."
"Thanks."
Patrick walked away and left Cooper to his surfing. He was able to check out the actor's films and great pictures. The couple at the coffee bar took a seat at a terminal and Patrick showed them how to get around and search for things. He showed them the LYCOS search engine. In his opinion, the best. Although the searches were very extreme, like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, he felt it was better than the rest. He picked his head up to look out the window. Joey and Nicole were across the street in front of the gas pumps kissing. He smiled.
...
The black pickup was speeding. Peter had his head cocked back and had his eyes closed as Owen's mouth went up and down on Peter's ridged cock. Joey ran across the street.
"JOEY!" Nicole screamed. Joey turned. "I LOVE YOU!"
Joey smiled. Nicole started to cross Route 77, Joey ran to her, not seeing the pickup as it barreled past. Not feeling it as it hit him and sent him soaring into the air. Not hearing Nicole's horrific scream.
"JOEY!"
She ran to him and cradled his head in her lap. Jack was there instantly. Patrick and Cooper emerged from the cybercafe. Jack looked up at Patrick.
"I love you, Joey. I love you Joey," she whispered to herself again and again. Their newly found love for each other had ended before it could even start. Their plans for all sorts of kinky sex positions cut down.
"Call the Sheriff, now!" Patrick ran back inside. Nicole's tears streamed down her cheeks. Black streaks of mascara darkened her fair complexion.
"He'll be okay," Jack said, knowing that was not true. Jack stood and looked to the heavens.
"WHY?" he cried out. God had robbed him of a soul before a deal could be struck.
The black pickup soared west, Peter and Owen had come to Jockey Hollow one last time and made their mark, killing one of it's most treasured people. The surfers continued towards California and freedom, not even knowing that their newly found sexuality had killed someone.
Jack walked back to Nicole, knelt down and hugged her. Cooper was crying too.
