Part 1: Jared the Paramedic & Shaman

He walked in the alley with purpose knowing what he would find. The inner feeling Jared had was pulling him to this location. It wasn't the first time he had been pulled out of his normal day to day activities to go somewhere special. He had been out walking and just appreciating the evening. The smell of the various restaurants were blowing by him on the wind. Each gust of wind seemed to have the scent of different spices making his mouth water. 

As he entered the dark alley, he could hear some voices, laughter and cries of pain. Jared walked slowly towards a small group people standing over another person laying on the ground. Jared was an imposing man, 6'3 inches, 230 lbs of solid muscle, dark hair, olive skin and piercing brown eyes. He moved like a cat, soundlessly and covering ground quickly - something you would not expect of man so large. As he appeared amongst the group of people, he spoke softly but commanding "Leave the boy alone." The three college aged men had the build of football players and were quite startled at the sudden appearance of Jared. 

"Fuck off dude. It doesn't concern you. He is just a fucking fag!" one of them said. 

Jared spoke again, softly, commanding and without emotion "Leave the boy alone." 

The one who had spoken before said "You a fag lover? Maybe we should do the same to you." 

Jared looked at them one at a time and then spoke "Leave the boy alone. All people have the right to live within their path of life. This is your last warning, walk away now." 

One of the college boys had enough and moved towards Jared. Jared looked at him, raising his muscled arm. He put his hand in the middle of the attacker's chest pushed hard - straight arming him at the sternum throwing the man backwards. He flew landing on his back about 7 feet away. Jared looked at the other two men who were preparing to attack him and froze. Jared's eyes appeared to glowing white like there was a black light somewhere nearby. They froze in their tracks. 

Jared said once again "Leave the boy alone. Walk away now!" Except this time the young men seemed to feel something inside them suggest they had better do as they were told as shivers ran down their spine. The two young men grabbed their barely moving buddy off the ground and dragged him out of the alley towards the street.

Jared looked at the young man on the ground, who was crying in pain and curled in a fetal position. The big man kneeled next to the man and touched his should gently. In a very calm voice Jared said "My name is Jared. I am here to help you." Jared asked "What is your name?" 

The young man looked up with difficulty, eyes barely open and replied in a whisper "Thank you for stopping them. TTTTTT-Trent." 

Jared could hear multiple sirens in the distance coming closer. Someone must have called 911. Jared placed his hand on the boy's forehead. 

Trent felt the hand on his head, then a warming sensation moving from his head spreading down into his chest and abdomen. Jared sensed the injuries the boy had and knew he had to act quickly. They boy had been kicked repeatedly in the stomach and the back. Jared's thoughts focused on the damaged liver and kidney. The boy felt warmth in his lower stomach and his back. As the warmth increased, the pain in those areas decreased. The boy opened his eyes and looked at Jared just before he went unconscious, Trent thought he saw the man who saved his life had glowing white eyes. Jared knew the boy was unconscious now. The police and ambulance had stopped in the alley and people were getting out running towards him. 

One of the paramedics recognized Jared and said "Hey Jared, what have you got?" Jared noticed a policeman behind his buddy Troy. 

Jared said "about 5 minutes ago I heard a fight in the alley and came to see what was going on. Three guys were putting the boots to this young man who was on the ground. I chased them away but didn't really get a good look at them in the dark. The boy has just gone unconscious but patent airway, regular breathing, tender left ribs, left arm deformed, abdomen soft and the rest unremarkable at the time I checked him. No other problems noted in the short time I was with him. " Jared stood up and let Troy and his partner took over treatment. A short time later, the young man was all bundled up on the stretcher with IV's running. 

As they were pushing the stretcher into the back of the ambulance, Troy spoke to Jared "Thanks for being here buddy. When are you on shift next?" 

Jared replied, I'm back in the morning, day shift." "Sounds good. See you in the morning at shift change Jared."

Jared watched as the ambulance and police pulled away and out of the alley. He thought about Trent, the young man they had in the back of the ambulance. It would take some time for the young man to heal his couple of broken bones, but he wouldn't have been alive long if his liver and kidney hadn't been fixed right away. Trent's future path was strong and he was destined to be part of something which would make a difference in many people's lives. He would live, and grow stronger in his resolve to make a difference. This was a focal point in Trent's life, for the positive.

Jared walked to his apartment, his thoughts clear but his body tired. When he got home, he took off all his clothes and threw them into the dirty laundry basket. It was a modest 3 bedroom apartment, with just enough furniture to fill it. Jared went into the washroom and looked at himself in the mirror. At 29, he considered himself to be average. Most men and women would disagree and consider him to be one of the hottest men to walk the planet. His 6'3" olive skinned body was toned, arms large, stomach flat, hairless except for his armpits, treasure trail and bush above his cock. His uncut cock was hanging down 4" soft. He turned to the toilet and let loose a solid stream. Flushing it, he padded across the living room and grabbed his smartphone. Sitting down on the couch, he saw there were a couple of emails from his financial advisor. He replied to both of them, giving very clear directions as to what needed to be done. 

He got up and went into the 3rd bedroom to knell before a coffee table in the centre on a pillow. On the table were 3 white candles, and a clay bowl. In the clay bowl was a smudging bundle made of sweet grass, cedar and sage. He used a wooden match to light the first candle. While doing this, he chanted "I invoke the light within. I am a clear and perfect channel. Light is my guide." He did this for each of the 3 candles. Using the centre candle, he lit the smudging bundle, and then tapped it slightly in the bowl until the flames were out and smoke was now rising from it. He drew the smoke with his hands towards his heart, and then over his head. He did this for each arm, over his shoulders and pushing the smoke down his back, his stomach, the groin, and each leg. While doing this, he chanted prayers.

After covering all his body with the sacred smoke, he looked at the candles. Jared spoke aloud "Thank you Creator for allowing me to continue to do your work." As he reached and snuffed each candle, he said "The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Jared made sure the smudging bundle was out. He got up and went to bed, and fell into a peaceful sleep.

In the morning, Jared woke well rested and feeling relaxed. His only problem for the morning was his 9" hard-on demanding attention. He got with his piss hard-on acting like a compass needle and he headed for the bathroom. After some difficulty, he finished his morning piss and started the shower. 

After getting in, he used some shower gel to wash his chest and abdomen. He allowed his hand to travel further down until it had taken hold of his cock. He stroked his hand lightly up the shaft and over the big red dick head and then back down again. Jared used one hand to rub and pinch his nipples and the other to play with his foreskin, sliding it up and over the big purple head. Jared thought to himself, this one has to be quick - I have to get ready for work. He leaned his forehead against the shower wall and then spread his legs wider, allowing the warm water to pour down his back and over his hairless muscled ass. Some of the water was flowing in between the cheeks of his ass and over his tight little rosebud too. The warmth felt heavenly. He was deep in own thoughts of imagining his work partner Liam naked and was jacking faster. Jared's muscled pelvis was moving now, thrusting his hard cock into his hand as the hand stroked down. Jared's head tilted up and he began to groan as pulse after pulse of cum splashed onto the wall. He used his two hands to support himself for a minute, and then started to clean the mess off the wall. Jared finished getting washed, turned off the shower and got out. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off. He looked back at the shower and thought "that wasn't bad a bad load at all this morning." He chuckled to himself while thinking "it's better with someone else, but this one wasn't bad. One of these days I'll find someone as a soul mate to share it with." 

Later that morning, the call came in for injuries resulting from a domestic fight. The police were on scene when they arrived. Coming into the house with their jump kits they found a man sitting on the couch, and they could see another man sitting at the kitchen table. There were police officers with each of them. A Sgt. met them at the door and advised it was a domestic situation between 2 fags. Jared looked him in the straight in the face with a very concerned look over what was said, and the Sgt corrected himself. 

"There is a domestic situation between 2 males, probably partners. We don't see anything serious but if you guys would check them over for us, it would be appreciated. Be careful of the big one on the couch though!" the Sgt said as he pointed at him. 

Jared nodded to the Sgt and then looked and nodded with his head towards the man in the kitchen to his partner. He moved to the kitchen to look him over. Jared walked slowly over to the bear of man sitting on the couch. He was dressed only in a pair of boxers and a wife beater. Ironic shirt for the situation Jared thought. Anyone could smell that he had been drinking a lot. The man had a shaved head, about 5'10" with dark hair across his shoulders disappearing under the front and back of the shirt. He was a solid man, not muscle but not fat. 

"Hi, I am Jared. I would like to look at your injuries. Is that ok?" Jared moved closed to him and went down on one knee. The man looked up slowly. His eyes were bloodshot and he had a flushed ruddy complexion. There was a laceration, mostly crusted over above his right eye. 

"I'm ok. The toaster hit my head when the little pansy over there threw it at me" he said. 

Jared continued to look at him and said "May I ask why he threw the toaster at you and how hard did it hit you?" 

The man looked at Jared for a moment, and then said "None of your fucking business." 

Jared looked at him and locked eyes with him. He didn't know why this guy was toaster target practice earlier this morning but he could sense very strongly this man was going to explode at any second. Jared moved backwards quickly to stand just as the man stood up, catching the police officer near him off guard. The man stepped into the officer and hit him the nose with and open palm. At the same time, he grabbed the officer's weapon from its holster. He raised it and pointed it at Jared. Jared just stood there stoic and looked back at him. The Sgt and other officer who was still in the kitchen had now drawn their weapons and they were pointed at the man. Out of the corner of Jared's eye he could see his partner grab the other patient and pull him around the corner of the kitchen to safety. 

The big man raised the gun, pointed it directly at Jared and then said "Anyone moves, I pull the trigger. It will be your fault if I pull the trigger because you moved. I will have no blame. Understood?" 

Jared stood still and looked at him - locking eyes. He had touched the man to check his wounds earlier and he had seen the torment within his head. The man was married, baby on the way, 2 other kids at home. He was having a bisexual affair with the young man in the house when they had been found by his wife's sister this morning. His wife had been trying to phone him and when there was no answer she had been concerned. She had sent her sister over to check on him. The sister had found them both in bed together. His only thought right now was his life was over. 

Jared continued to look at him and said very calmly "Your life is not over. There is some rebuilding to be done, but it is not over." 

"I disagree" he said. 

The Sgt had been trying to move slightly to get a better shot and the man saw this. He swung the gun towards the Sgt and started to pull the trigger. Jared continued to look at the man then mumbled something as his eyes flashed white for a split second. The man collapsed into a heap on the floor and dropped the gun. The Sgt and other police officer from the kitchen moved to grab him and cuff him. It was a good thing they had cuffed him because he woke up right after and started yelling and thrashing. Other police officers rushed in through the front door at that time. The police officer who had been smacked in the face was trying to get up when one of the other officers who had just arrived went to his aid. His nose was bleeding and Jared handed him a couple of gauze pads to hold on it. 

The Sgt yelled "Get them both out of here and to booking - we will figure it out there!" After all the men hustled out of the house, the Sgt and Jared were standing there. The Sgt then yelled over his shoulder at the retreating men "get Officer Smyth checked out at the hospital."

Jared turned to his partner and said "get the gear back to the unit." Liam went out through the door looking like pack mule in the Grand Canyon. 

The Sgt looked at Jared and breathed deep "You have nerves of steel. You didn't even flinch when he pulled the gun." 

Thinking fast Jared replied "I knew he had a head injury and he had been sitting for a while. I was calculating how long it would take for orthostatic hypotension to kick in."

The Sgt looked at him and blurted out "what the fuck is orthosomethingtension?" 

Jared laughed and said "ever got up off the couch too fast and had the head spins? That is one form of it. I knew it would happen to him and I was watching his eyes for it to happen. I wasn't a hero in the least, just an educated paramedic."

The Sgt had a puzzled look on his face. "So what you are saying is if you are on the couch and want a beer, it's safer to send one of the kids or wife for another beer?" he asked with a smirk.

"I am not going to acknowledge that elephant in the room" laughed Jared offered his hand to the Sgt. The Sgt took it firmly and shook it. There was a feeling of warmth between their clasped hands. 

Jared could see the Sgt's son had recently come out to him and it had not gone well. Jared could also see that the Sgt loved his child but was afraid to show it because he didn't understand his son making the choice of being gay. Into the subconscious of the Sgt, Jared placed a couple of thoughts. The first was "All people on the planet are the children of God the Creator and they do not choose who to love. True love between two people is beautiful and not an abomination. You son's future education and career will make you proud." The second thought Jared put into his mind was "hug your child often and always love them. You may not approve of their actions at times but you will always love them." The he saw something else and quickly added into the Sgt's head "let your daughter have the cat." Although they had only shook hands for a couple of seconds, it seemed to be in slow motion for the Sgt. They released hands, and the Sgt stepped back. Jared looked at the Sgt who was shaking his head and said "As always, it is a pleasure to work with you and to have you guys here at domestic situations." 

The Sgt replied "Yes, thank you for your help Jared." 

Jared looked at him and said "Time to hit the road unless you need anything else." 

The Sgt said "If we do, we know where to find you." Jared left and jumped into the ambulance. 

They pulled away from the curb when another call came in for them to attend a serious motor vehicle accident. Jared acknowledged the call to dispatch while hitting the lights and siren. He looked at his partner Liam and said "Let's go!"

Paramedic Part 2 - Jared and Liam learn about each other. 

Liam was driving to the next call while Jared found himself as co-pilot in the passenger seat. The co-pilot in an ambulance is one of the most difficult jobs facing anyone. They must remain quiet, not scream at near misses or yell at the driver either. Fortunately, Liam was actually a very good driver which made Jared very happy. 

It did give Jared a chance to think about Liam. Although he was relatively new to the job, Liam was very good at it. The two have them seemed to mesh the first time they had met about 2 months ago. It seemed like they were meant to be partners in the job and Jared had asked for it to happen. They worked together well as a team, almost anticipating each others actions. They both also loved their jobs as paramedics. 

Overall, Liam looked like he spent a lot of time swimming. Liam was 22 years old, blue eyed, curly blond, well put together man. He was 6' and tanned nicely. Jared had seem him in the locker room in his tight briefs a couple of times noting he had nice solid chest, not overly muscled, with a light covering of blonde hair, full sized nipples, and a good sized package hiding in the pouch of his underwear. Jared also liked his cute bubble butt. Liam had conditioned long legs which had fine blond hairs running down them. Jared had never seen him naked, but he could imagine the package being hidden in the underwear. Jared really liked the way Liam was smart, confident, good sense of humour as well as being a great guy to be around. Jared glanced briefly at Liam again with a fleeting look at the large package being confined by his tight uniform pants. One could dream thought Jared. 

Jared's thoughts were interrupted when they arrived at the accident scene. Another unit was already at the scene as well as a multitude of fire fighters and police. Jared and Liam did the usual things, and were given the responsibility to transport one victim to the Emergency Department. The patient assigned to them by Triage Medic was in bad shape and Jared knew the man wasn't going to make it. This would be this man's second last trip in a vehicle, the last being a hearse. His gift told Jared it was the end of this man's journey in life and not to interfere. 

Liam was just pulling the unit in through the receiving doors when the patient's heart stopped. Although futile, Jared started CPR just as treatment protocols required and yelled at Liam in the front of the ambulance "He's coded." Liam parked the unit and yelled at the nurses in emergency while running to open the back doors of the ambulance. They pulled the stretcher out of the unit and pushed it into the waiting treatment room, giving a verbal report as the trauma team took their patient over. Liam and Jared went outside to clean up the unit. It was near the end of their shift and they had to restock supplies. 

One of the nurses came into the ambulance bay and approached them. "I am sorry guys. I know you guys did everything as did we, but he didn't make it" she said. 

She looked at them both, and smiled. She was looking the two over and thinking to herself "What a pair of hotties. Wonder if they would date me at the same time." Her face flushed with the thought and walked away from them. She looked over her shoulder just before going back into the ER and called to the guys "see you again soon guys." Jared smiled at her and waved. Liam was quiet. 

Jared looked at him and asked "Are you ok?" 

Liam looked at him and said slowly "I don't know how you do it. You are so calm while dealing with all this tragedy and death. Nothing ever seems to faze you. This is the part I don't enjoy - when we can't make a difference and save them." 

Jared thought for a moment and replied "Death is a normal part of life. Although it sounds cold, it is a fact. When a person has walked their path of life, the journey on this existence is over and they move onto the next one." Liam looked at Jared with his beautiful blue eyes and had a tear slowly leaking out of one. 

"Does it get any easier for us to lose our patients in spite of everything we do?" he asked. 

Jared looked at him and said quietly "Liam, it takes time for all of us to accept that we can only prolong life in those cases which were supposed to continue, and the other ones are in the hands of the Creator for his protection." Liam looked away and started to put the bags away he had filled with new supplies. He seemed deep in thought. 

Jared looked at him and said "Liam, you are obviously upset about this. After we get to the base and park the unit, let's get changed and I will take you out for a dinner where we can talk some more. Is that OK? I mean if you are too busy..." 

Liam stopped, and looked at Jared, and said too quickly "I would love it. I mean, like it. I mean - yes that would be nice." 

Jared had never seen Liam this tongue tied before and he looked so cute while trying to recover. Liam blushed and looked away from Jared. They finished up and drove back to the base. After handing the paperwork and changing into street clothing, they headed out to a restaurant Jared knew had booths. This allowed people to talk without being overheard. 

Jared frequented the place and was met at the door by the Maitre'D who welcomed him by name. "Bonjour Jared. Comment ca va mon ami?" 

Jared replied "Bien, et vouz?" Jared said in English "Pierre this is my friend and paramedic partner Liam. Liam, this is Pierre, the Maitre'D at one of the finest French restaurants outside of Quebec." They both shook hands. 

Pierre looked at Jared and said "Ne laissez pas cela un rendez-vous, il est mignon." 

Jared looked at Pierre and with the straightest face possible said "bouchée moi" and laughed. Pierre showed the two men to a booth and left menus with them. Shortly thereafter, he returned with 2 glasses of a red wine. 

When Pierre had left, Liam looked at Jared and smiled "What did Pierre mean when he said don't let this one get away, he's cute." 

Jared was taking a sip from his glass of wine when Liam had asked that question. He started to cough and sputter, dripping some onto the table. 

Liam smiled and handed Jared a napkin to wipe himself. "This is the first time I have seen something unexpected catch you off guard Jared." Liam's blue eyes were twinkling as well as having a slight smirk on his face. 

Jared regained his composure and set his glass down and asked "Parlez-vous français?" 

Liam smiled and answered in English "Yes I do, as well as couple of other languages." 

"That I didn't know" he replied. Jared looked serious for a moment and started speaking. "I know losing our patient today was rough for you. It was obvious to me you needed some time to vent your feelings and I thought I would see how you felt by the end of supper. I am concerned about you Liam both as your partner and your friend. I was not expecting Pierre to make the comment he did but I will not lie to you, I am gay."

Liam's beautiful crystal clear blue eyes were locked on Jared. Liam quietly looked at Jared and said "Guess neither one of our gay-dars were working too well. We must have been to work focused to notice" 

Jared looked at him and smiled but wanted to be sure by asking "You're gay too?" 

Liam said, "Yes. I came out at 13 to my parents. They were supportive about it. To them, my announcement of being gay was no big deal and along the same level as telling them I was going to play basketball with my buddies down the street." Liam looked in pain for a moment then his radiance returned.

Jared had seen that brief look on Liam's face and made a mental note to pursue the root of that painful look someday. 

He looked at Liam and said "It was about the same age I came out to my grandfather. My parents had abandoned me with him at a very, very young age. Grandfather told me he had always known that I was of 2 spirits mixed together but had waited for me to tell him. Grandfather also told me it was not unusual for the best of the healers to be born that way." They were interrupted by Pierre asking them in English if they were ready to order yet. 

Liam asked "May I order for the two of us Jared?" Jared nodded and smirked. Liam lifted the menu up and started ordering the meal was well as a bottle of wine in perfect French. Pierre blanched and looked at Jared apologetically. 

Liam, sat there with a smile on his beautiful face and told Pierre in English "I don't want to lose this one either (nodding his head towards Jared). He is cute." 

Jared spoke up "Pierre, neither one of us actually knew the other was gay. I would like to thank you for opening that avenue for investigation." Jared added, "Pierre, it also has to be said. Fou toi." They all laughed together. 

The meal was fantastic. They two of them chatted and laughed the entire way through dinner. At the end of the meal, Pierre had even brought a serving of Death by Chocolate for them with two spoons. Liam and Jared enjoyed it immensely. "That desert is going to take a week of workouts and running to get rid of the calories. But, it was worth it don't you think Liam?" Jared said. 

Liam smiled shyly at Jared and said "I think it was definitely worth it." Pierre came with the bill which Jared grabbed and paid quickly with a large tip. 

Liam asked what he owed and Jared said "My treat." They walked out of the restaurant together into the warm evening air stopping just outside the restaurant. Jared faced Liam and asked "Now we both know we are both gay, what do we do?" 

Liam looked at Jared and replied "I have had a crush on you since the first time I saw you walk into the base. Would it be too awkward for partners to try and date? I mean if you wanted too..." he quickly added blushing. 

"You look so cute when you blush Liam. I have never seen you do that before at work." Jared was looking at Liam, his left hand reaching over and grasping Liam's right hand gently, holding it. "I think I would like to try dating, and see where it goes Liam. I noticed you the first day you reported for duty as well. I have come to respect you as a person, a skilled professional, and having one of the best bubble butts I have ever seen covered in underwear." He leaned in and gave Liam a quick kiss on his perfect lips. 

Liam smirked, blushed and looked down at their hands. "Wait a minute! You scoped my butt out?" Liam could see Jared smiling at him nodding his head. Liam continued "By the way, with your looks, you would be better in tight underwear instead of those boxers you wear. But, they did show your butt off nicely when you bent over. They are old and threadbare in the ass, which I didn't mind." 

"You were scoping me out in the change room? Pervert!" said Jared laughing. 

"Jared, can we go somewhere to talk some more and just be together?" Liam asked.

Jared looked at Liam and thought for a moment. "My apartment isn't far. I will make some tea for us. We still haven't chatted about the issues you were experiencing this afternoon" Jared said. 

"Sounds like a plan Jared. Lead on McDuff." said Liam. 

The two walked along the street, quietly making small talk about how nice the weather was. They started laughing about the people looking like the dogs they were walking. They nearly lost all composure when a woman walked by with the same colour and style of hair of her small dog. Truth be told, the dog looked like a rat with an afro having static electricity problems. The only more hideous styling was its owner, who looked like she had she had a muskrat humping the back of her head. The two boys had to really fight to control themselves until she was out of sight, then they lost it. Once they regained composure, they continued on to the apartment, hand in hand.

As they got into the elevator at Jared's apartment building, Jared looked at Liam and said "You have gotten very quiet Liam."

"I don't know what to think about anything Jared. Those feelings I am having just seem to bust through anything I am doing and overwhelm me" Liam said.

"We will take care of that shortly Liam." Jared said as he smiled. The two of them got off the elevator and went to Jared's apartment. After unlocking the door, Jared stepped into the door and made a sweeping motion with his hand exclaiming in a cheesy French accent "Apres-vous Monsieur". Liam smiled and entered with Jared closing the door behind them. He showed Liam to the kitchen through the living room.

Upon entering the kitchen, Jared turned on the lights, filled the tea kettle and put it on the stove. He opened a cabinet door and pulled out a reed woven basket full of dried herbs. Jared picked one bunch up and broke some off. He ground it between his fingers allowing it to fall into a bowl. He did this 3 more times with different herbs. 

Liam looked with interest. "What are you doing?" he asked. 

Jared continued working with the herbs and replied "I am making a traditional tea mixing different herbs to help you relax. The herbs are a gift of Mother Earth and when used in different combinations they can help many things. This tea will have a nice flavour as well." The kettle was boiling by now and Jared turned off the burner and poured a little of the hot water into the tea pot. He set the kettle down and grabbed the tea pot, swishing the water around in it before pouring out into the sink. He placed the tea pot onto the counter and poured the herbs into it. Jared filled the tea pot with hot water and put the lid on it also grabbing 2 mugs. He walked over to the island in the kitchen and placed the cups as well as the tea pot onto it near the stools under the counter. 

He stepped over to Liam and took a hold of both his hands into his and stood into him. Jared drew Liam into his chest, wrapping his arms around Liam's back in a hug. Liam was tense at first, but began to relax as Jared hugged him and rubbed his back. Liam began to sob, soaking the front of Jared's shirt. A couple of minutes later, his sobbing slowed and he moved his head to look directly into Jared's eyes. Jared used one hand to reach up and brush the tears away from Liam's perfect face. His eyes were so clear, his strong nose and jaw line, his light blonde five o'clock shadow. Jared reached up and gently placed his hand behind Liam's neck and moved forward to kiss him. Their lips touched gently, such a soft feeling shared between them. 

Jared was thinking of how soft Liam's lips were. 

Liam was asking himself if this was real or was he asleep having a dream. Jared tasted so good to him. After kissing for a moment, they stopped and rested their heads on each others shoulders while holding each other tight. 

They could feel each others hard manhood rubbing through their pants while they stood so close. Jared was afraid of blowing his load right there. He didn't realize Liam was even closer to blowing his load and was trying to think of anything to make his erection go down including dead bunnies and his first grade teacher naked. 

Jared stepped back, and the reached for Liam's hands, pulling him to the kitchen island and stools to sit on. Jared got the tea pot and pulled the lid off, stirred the contents and sniffed it. Satisfied, he put the lid back on and poured tea into both cups. He took one cup and put it in front of Liam, who was sitting on a stool again and looking at the ground. Jared sat down and took a sip of his tea. 

"You are embarrassed at crying Liam. Don't be. It is the best way to shed stress and turmoil" Jared said. 

Liam looked up and said quietly "Jared, we are expected to be supermen in this job. We are not to show emotion. We are supposed to keep everything to ourselves and never let anyone know if we having trouble dealing with it. We are told to suck it up or be a man or real men don't need help. I have also heard the staff tell one another it's part of the job, grow a thicker skin and other shit." Liam was getting upset now and continued "They teach us about us injuries, medical conditions, drugs and all kinds of things. They convince us we can save everyone because we are paramedics. They spend absolutely no time on how to deal emotionally with the aftermath." 

Jared looked at him and replied slowly "you are absolutely right Liam. That is why you are here right now, to receive help in dealing with it." Jared took Liam into his arms again. 

Liam looked up and said "I have wanted to be with you for so long. When you took me in your arms I felt so safe and I couldn't stop the tears from coming out." 

"I understand. For some reason, I have the same feeling when we are together" he admitted. "Drink your tea Liam. You are safe here in this apartment and with me" said Jared. 

Liam sipped the tea deeply and set it down. "That tastes so good Jared" Liam said. 

"It will help relax you as we talk for a few minutes. You may actually feel sleepy shortly but you are safe here. You can spend the night?" asked Jared. 

Liam looked nervous and quietly said "if you think I won't be in the way." 

"Never would you be either an inconvenience or would you ever be in the way. Please, drink up. Let the gift from Mother Earth help you." Jared said. Liam took another drink. 

They spoke of the man who died earlier in the day. Jared spoke very calmly "There are other forces at work here which will prevail in spite of what we do. All people walk a path throughout their lives. Some paths are long while others are short. We cannot change this. What we can change is when a person who should be walking a long path potentially has their journey shortened by something happening which was unexpected. There are influences out there which are constantly trying to alter the path the Creator has chosen for people. We can help some people get back onto the path they should be walking. But sometimes we can't even help those as they have made a conscious choice not to follow their path and ultimately their choice may lead to death. This is caused by evil spirits working another agenda against the Creator. The Creator gave freewill to mankind as a gift. The evil ones use the Creator's gift by influencing people through dark spirits to capture unsuspecting souls they divert of their pathway in life. Giving mankind the ability to choose is like a double edged sword with one side offering benefit with the other potentially a detriment. We can only do the best we can for the skills we have been taught and possess."

Liam was deep in thought as Jared spoke to him. "I am beginning to understand your point of view" he said and then continued "you make it sound like we as medics are not even needed."

"No Liam, not at all. We are very important as a part of the entire life-saving team. Sometimes a person needs to be repaired for them to continue along their path. The first aiders at the scene, the paramedics who arrive, the nurses who meet us at the E.R. and the doctors in the hospital are all part of the chain to treat the injuries. If the damage can been repaired, the person may continue on their path of life. If it cannot be repaired his path was not meant to be and has ended." 

It was obvious to Jared the tea was beginning to work on Liam as his head was beginning to bob a bit. Jared took Liam gently by the hand and led him to the bedroom. "It is time for you to go to bed" said Jared.

Liam realized he was becoming very drowsy. Jared led Liam into the bedroom and sat him down on his king sized bed. Liam was very quiet, and looked up at Jared. Jared said "No fears. Just sleep tonight. You need it." 




Paramedic Pt. 02



Jared pulled Liam's tight fitting polo shirt over his head. He had raised his hands up in the air to help and fell backwards onto the bed. Jared looked at the beauty of the chest before him. The muscles, erect nipples and blond hair on the chest leading down to the treasure trail. The trail disappeared under the waist line of Liam's pants. It was so hot to look at. Jared undid Liam's belt and pants and couldn't help but feel Liam's hard cock in his jeans. It felt so nice and solid as well as being a good size. The 501's on Liam were not skin tight, but they did highlight his package and ass nicely when he wore them. Jared pulled them off as gently as he could, trying not to show he was enjoying it. Jared looked at Liam laying there on his bed. Absolutely stunning! He was so perfectly put together. His underwear was a light green bikini style and it accentuated the ample mound hidden under the material. As Jared was looking at Liam's amply filled underwear, Jared thought he may have to buy some of those for himself as well as some even briefer underwear for Liam. 

Jared knew what he wanted to do with Liam, but it was not to happen tonight. Liam must be a willing and fully conscious participant if anything was going to happen between them. It must be for love, not just a primal release. He helped Liam up the bed further and packed a pillow under his head. He pulled the comforter up to under Liam's chin, accidentally yet on purpose brushing his nipples as he did so. Liam's skin was so soft, so warm and beautiful. He leaned in and kissed him on the mouth gently and said "good night sweet Prince." 

Liam's eyes were closed, but he smiled and said "thanks Jared" as he dozed off. 

Liam's face was handsome but it looked absolutely angelic when he was asleep. A wisp of his curly blonde hair had fallen across his forehead and Jared reached it to bush it off. Jared looked at Liam and smiled to himself. 

Jared got up and went to the bathroom. He had to take care of himself or he would never get to sleep. It didn't take long to stroke himself to an orgasm thinking of that beautiful blonde man in his bed. After cleaning up, Jared climbed into the bed next to Liam. Liam moved slightly, rolling onto his side and putting his arm and head on Jared's chest. Liam went promptly back to sleep. Jared wasn't far behind him in falling asleep. His last thought was the morning. What would happen when they woke up together? He knew Liam had been hard as a rock earlier when they were tightly holding each other. He could hope and dream tonight as Liam held him and hope for the best in the morning.

Later that night, Jared had a vivid dream. He saw a riverbank near where he had his cabin. Walking along the riverbank was a massive black bear sniffing around some rocks and the edge of the water. In his dream, Jared could hear the cry of a bald eagle in the distance. The eagle was high above the tree tops floating through air looking down. He turned and began to descend in a circular pattern until the eagle landed on the ground near the bear. The bald eagle and bear looked at each other for a moment. Moving towards the bear slightly, the eagle extended its wing outwards. The bear sat down and its haunches and extended its paw towards the eagle's wing. When they touched, there was a blinding flash like something had like something had shorted out electrically. When the flash cleared, the bald eagle was sitting on the shoulder of the bear. The bear stood up and walked slowly along the river's edge. The two of them acted as it was not unusual for them to be this way. They approached a structure which Jared recognized as a sweat lodge. Sitting on each side of the sweat lodge entrance were four wolves, two on each side. They were lined up as if in an honour guard. The bear sat down on his haunches and growled loudly. The wolves got up and calmly walked into the structure. The bear looked at the eagle and they both let lose their growl and cry at the same time. The bear got up and walked into the sweat lodge with the eagle on his shoulder. The dream ended there. 

Jared didn't wake up fully, but enough to know he was sweating and had a solid hard on under the covers. Jared reached under to reposition himself when he felt Liam was sweating as well. Liam was still lying on his side, right up against Jared. While Jared adjusted himself, his arm brushed Liam only to feel he wasn't the only one with a massive hard on. Liam must have sensed something because he repositioned himself and moved in as tight as he could to Jared, grinding his pelvis and hard dick into Jared's thigh. As Jared fell back to sleep he come to understand what the dream meant. The Creator had sent him a message. They both slept through the night with both men dreaming of what they hoped would happen in the morning.

Recap.

Jared didn't wake up fully, but just enough to know he was sweating. He also realized he had a solid hard-on under the covers. Jared reached under to reposition himself when he felt Liam was sweating as well. Liam was still lying on his side, right up against Jared. While Jared adjusted himself, his arm brushed Liam only to feel he wasn't the only one with a massive hard on. Liam must have sensed something because he repositioned himself and moved in as tight as he could to Jared, grinding his pelvis and hard dick into Jared's thigh.

They both slept through the night with both men dreaming of what they hoped would happen in the morning.

End of Part 2

Jared the Paramedic Part 3 - Liam's time for healing

When morning came, the two of them woke up in the same position they had fallen asleep in. When Jared began to stir, Liam stirred as well. "Hmmm. What a way to wake up in the morning." Liam said looking at Jared. "I don't remember a thing." Liam looked a little at a loss and asked "was I good?" 

Jared laughed and said "You needed rest more than anything else last night and that is all you got. How do you feel?" 

Liam sat up and stretched, exposing his muscular tanned chest and spoke "I feel great. Good sleep and the bonus of waking up next to you is perfect." 

"Not to break the moment, but I need a morning piss real bad" said Jared as he flew out of bed. 

Jared still had his boxers on. The boxers Jared wore had a large bilge like a tent pole sticking out the front of them as he went to the bathroom. After closing the door he took a mouthful of mouthwash as he pissed into the toilet. Jared's thoughts were about Liam's body and he was finding it hard to piss. He finished pissing and spit the mouth wash out. Jared left the bathroom and was almost run over by Liam in the hallway who simply said "me next." Jared laughed as he went to the kitchen and started coffee. He turned and looked at Liam standing there, looking so sexy in his underwear. 

Jared reached out and said "Come here." Liam responded quickly and they were soon wrapped around each other kissing, tongues probing and hands running up and down each other's bodies. Jared cupped Liam's ass cheeks in his hands and pulled him towards tightly. They could feel each other's excitement as their hard cocks pressed into each other through their underwear. 

"Do you want some coffee now or after?" asked Jared. 

"After. Definitely after" answered Liam. Jared looked at Liam playfully as he poked him in his tanned muscular stomach and said "last one in bed is a rotten egg." He pushed Liam backwards and ran to the bedroom. 

Just as he got to the foot of the bed, Liam grabbed him around the waist in a football type tackle and they both fell onto the bed. They wrestled around, tickling each other and grinding their groins into each other. Liam was on his back when Jared pounced onto him. Chest to chest, their hard nipples sticking into the other's chest, Jared grabbed Liam's head and started to kiss him hard. Their tongues danced with each other. Jared started to kiss his way down Liam's neck, working his way back up to nibble at his ear as Liam groaned in pleasure. Jared kissed further his way down to Liam's nipples. He took the right nipple and sucked on it while manipulating the other with his fingers. He used his teeth to gently grab the nipple, pulling on it, doing the same with his fingers to the other one. 

Liam spoke in short breaths "OMG Jared. My nipples are so sensitive if you don't stop, I will cum in my shorts anytime." 

Jared stopped and looked into Liam's eyes. "We don't want that just yet do we?" Jared said smirking.

"No I don't want it either. Jared, I have dreamed about this and beat off so many times thinking of you." 

Jared leaned in and kissed Liam's perfect lips, enjoying the feeling. Jared kissed his way back down Liam's chest to his belly button, and twirled his tongue around it several times. While doing this, he slowly moved his hands to each side of Liam's tented underwear. The big and hard cock in that small underwear was ready to bust out like a jack-in-a-box. Jared started to suck on Liam's cock through the underwear and enjoyed the sweet salty taste off the pre-cum soaking through Liam's bikini wear. Liam was squirming and groaning under Jared's sucking and touch. Jared gripped the underwear and pulled it off. Liam's cock stood right up, all 9" of it. It was beautiful and uncut. The foreskin had pulled back to expose the big purple head leaking pre-cum like a faucet. Jared pulled the hard cock down and let it flip back up like a spring. The motion caused some of the pre-cum to fly and onto Jared's face. Running his fingers through Liam's bush, he licked the top of the dick, using his tongue to play with the slit. The other hand was sliding the foreskin up and down over Liam's dickhead. Liam was groaning even deeper and squirming more. 

"Jared, what are you doing to me!" hissed Liam. 

Jared smirked just before he ran his tongue around the head a few times before he put his mouth over Liam's dick and sucked. He kept moving so Liam's dick was going deeper into his mouth and throat. While doing this, Jared reached up and starting playing with Liam's nipples and chest hair. He let Liam's dick pop out of his mouth. Jared leaned down and took one of Liam's egg sized balls into his mouth. Once it was in his mouth, he used his tongue to play with it. Jared took the second ball into his mouth next to the first one. Jared was enjoying sucking on the balls while rolling his tongue around them. Jared looked up and obviously Liam was enjoying it too.

Jared let them both slide out of his mouth and he took Liam's long hard dick back into his mouth once again. Liam had been oozing pre-cum and the dick head was covered in it. As Jared started to suck, more pre-cum came out of Liam's dick and the taste was intoxicating. Jared continued to suck hard and he was now going up and down on Liam's shaft so deep his nose was at times in Liam's bush. Jared used his hands to pinch Liam's nipples and continued bobbing up and down on Liam's hard dick. 

Liam sat up but hung his head backward calling out "I'm cumming!" Jared was ready and took Liam's warm, tasty essence into his mouth. Jared was swallowing as fast as he could while savoring the taste. Liam was having one of the most powerful orgasms of his life, shooting blast after blast of cum into Jared's mouth. When finished, Liam fell backwards onto the bed. Jared licked his lips and swallowed the remnants of Liam's load. Jared crawled up his body to kiss him and to let him taste his own cum. 

"Oh my God Jared. I have never cum like that before. What did you do to me?" Liam asked. 

"That was all you babe." replied Jared. 

"What about you Jared? Can I do it to you? I want you to know something first" said Liam. 

"What's that Liam?" asked Jared. Looking into Jared's eyes, Liam looked concerned about something. 

"I have only been with a couple of other people. Blow jobs and mutual jacking off only. No fucking" Liam said nervously. "I am not real experienced at this" he added shyly.

"Liam, you have nothing to fear. I have never fucked another person. Fucking is a crude word. It is the release of one person's sperm into another usually without regard for the other's needs at the moment of ecstasy" said Jared. He added "I do not fuck. I make love. Making love is the ultimate intimacy between two people, the blending of two souls who share their life essence by seeding it into each other. It is the ultimate act of intimacy and love. There are other things to keep us happy until you are ready."

Liam looked into Jared's eyes and said "I love you Jared." 

Jared looked at him and replied "and I love you too Liam." 

They kissed long and hard. Liam rolled the two of them over with him on top. "My turn lover" he said. 

Jared just looked at him and said "Remember practice makes perfect." They kissed gently as they wrapped their arms around each other. 

Liam broke the kiss and sat up, straddling Jared with his ass grinding into Jared's dick. "You still have some clothing on big boy" as Liam reach down and played with Jared's hard dick through his boxers. Liam slid downwards on Jared's legs and pulled the last piece of clothing Jared had off with his fingers. Liam looked at Jared lying there in his naked glory. It was obvious Jared was naturally olive skinned but still had a light set of tan lines from what was most likely a speedo or something else skimpy he wore when outdoors. Jared's dick was very thick and at least 9" in length. There was only a light covering of mostly straight black coarse hairs around Jared's dick and they extended up in a beautiful treasure trail. The hair ended at his navel and Jared was obviously naturally hairless on his tight muscular chest. Jared's nipples were hard and sticking straight up. Liam looked up further to see Jared's neck and face and they were smooth with very little stubble on them. He had full lips and a cute nose. His eyes were clear, solid sensual brown eyes. Liam loved to look into them. 

Jared looked at Liam and smirked as he said "take a picture boy. It lasts longer." 

Liam smiled and reached forward to grab Jared's head, a hand gently placed on each side. He kissed him long and hard thinking his tongue will never tire of wresting with Jared's. He slid down and started to suck on Jared's nipples as one of his hands reached down and wrapped itself around Jared's dick and lightly jacked it. Jared was groaning as Liam played with one nipple then the other and going back to the first again. Liam slid down Jared's body until his head was right over Jared's dick. Liam still had one hand lightly jacking Jared's dick, using Jared's own pre-cum to lube his hand. He now moved his other hand into place to play with Jared's balls. Jared's eyes were rolled back in his head with sheer bliss. He used his tongue to lick around the head and over it. Jared was shivering with the sensations being given to him. Liam moved his mouth near the top of Jared's dick and gently blew air over it. The hairs of Jared's treasure trail stood up on end when Liam did this. Liam continued to breathe warm air over Jared's dick and engulfed as much of the huge dick as he could in his mouth. This was the biggest and thickest dick he had ever seen let alone had ever had in his mouth. It felt fantastic to have it in his mouth. Jared was enjoying his dick in Liam's mouth as well. Liam continued to suck on Jared's dick as he used one hand to slightly twist and pull at Jared's balls. Liam began to use his other hand to jerk up and down the big dick in his mouth. Jared stretched his arms out straight from his side and grabbed the sheets of the bed tightly. As he did that, his legs tensed and muscles went rock solid. 

A moan and a warning came out Jared's lips saying "I'm gonna cum." 

Liam took his mouth off Jared's dick just long enough to say "Do it. Let me taste you" and resumed sucking and jacking. 

Jared came with so much force his cum started to squirt out of the sides of Liam's mouth. Liam did the best he could to keep up swallowing but he couldn't. He released Jared's dick from his mouth and the last 3 huge squirts of cum shot onto Jared's flat stomach. Jared was now totally relaxed and laying on his bed in a good imitation of a dead man, complete with open eyes staring at the ceiling. Liam grabbed a pair of underwear off the floor and wiped his face as well as Jared's dick and stomach. Jared looked up at him with contentment on his face. Liam crawled up next to Jared on his side, placing his head on Jared's chest and the two of them promptly fell asleep. 

About 2 hours later, Liam was awoken to the feel of someone tickling him. He opened his eyes and saw Jared laying there pretending to be asleep but snickering to himself. Liam took Jared's hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it gently. 

"Hi" Liam said.

"Hi yourself" Jared replied. "Coffee time now. I really need caffeine!" as Jared got out of bed naked. Liam watched Jared's tight little ass was moving towards the kitchen. Liam loved the slight hairiness Jared had between the cheeks of his ass and spread down to his legs. If you looked at his legs and followed them up, it seemed the hair was forming an arrow pointing directly at Jared's asshole. It was so sexy he thought as he jumped out of bed and followed Jared into the kitchen. 

They cleaned up after enjoying breakfast together. Still naked, Jared reached out and pulled Liam into him. They rested their heads on the other's shoulder with their bodies tight together in a hug. After a couple of minutes Jared said "Liam, it is time to learn about another part of me." They parted and went into the special room where Jared had his smudging and prayer items. Still naked, the two of them went into the room. 

"Liam, I need to explain a few things to you. Kneel on the other side of the low table facing me" directed Jared. Liam did so and Jared kneeled down as well. "Liam, this is a smudging ceremony to purge ourselves physically and spiritually. It is the healing of the mind and the body. On the table is a bowl and in the bowl is what is called a smudging bundle. The smudging bundle is full of sacred plants - cedar, sage and sweet grass. We will pray to the Creator while lighting candles and burning the smudge. The eagle feather here will be used to fan the smoke over your body. The smoke cleanses you and the eagle feather carries our prayers to the heavons. Are you ready?" Jared asked Liam. 

Liam looked at Jared for a moment and asked "Is it ok I am a Catholic by birth?" 

Jared smiled and opened his hands palms out and upturned toward Liam and said "no one is perfect" as he chuckled. 

Liam thought for a moment and asked "should we be dressed for this Jared?"

"Liam" he continued, "We are here before the creator the way we were born and we are not hiding behind our clothing. Open in spirit, mind and body to the Creator. It is the way we were born into this world."

Liam nodded his head.

"I am a healer in the spiritual world. My Grandfather taught me many things as it was my path in life to follow. My spirit guide is the Bear, the healer. The Creator has granted me some abilities to correct things which need correcting or are not right. These abilities were given to me after my vision quest. I have learned to turn off the gifts, except when I need to use them or they come forward in my mind with a task. Liam, every person has a path to walk in life and make decisions as to how they travel the route. I am sometimes in a position to help them to get them back onto the correct one. These people are like a link in a chain. Some of these people will have a direct impact on other people, or they will set up conditions where another person does have an impact" explained Jared.

"I am considered a Shaman by some, a Christian in other environments. The two beliefs work well together. In reality, when you understand the spiritualism of the First Nations, you find a lot of commonalities or parallels with most of the dominant larger faiths. After all, we were practicing our spirituality many hundreds of years before the major faiths of the dominant cultures came about." 

Liam looked and asked "Is this why I hear you pray each time you work on a patient?" 

"Yes it is Liam" Jared said. "I am just a link in the chain from the creator, and nothing special. I am as human as the next person Liam. I am just a man who does what the Creator needs. We shall start now."

Jared used a wooden match to light the first candle. While doing this, he chanted "I invoke the light of the God within. I am a clear and perfect channel. The Light is my guide." 

Jared did this for each of the 3 candles. Using the centre candle, he lit the smudging bundle, and tapped it slightly in the bowl until the flames were out and smoke was rising from it. Jared stood up. He drew the smoke with his hands towards his heart, and over his head. He did this for each arm, over his shoulders and pushing the smoke down his back, his stomach, the groin, and each leg as well as under the feet. While doing this, he chanted prayers which Liam immediately realized were not in English. 

Jared stood up and said to Liam "Stand with your legs apart and your arms away from your body slightly, palms facing me." Liam complied and took the position. Jared picked up the smudge and the eagle feather. He began to chant again as he used the feather to push the smoke to Liam's heart. 

Jared said "we cleanse our hearts so that our hearts will feel the truth, grow with us in harmony and balance, be good and pure, be open to show compassion, gentleness and caring for others. 

Jared asked "Liam, use your cupped hands to pull the smoke over your head and down your back." Liam did so. "Stand as before" Jared said and spread smoke down the arm before moving to Liam's chest. He spread smoke over Liam's abdomen, and groin. He used the smoke to cleanse Liam's legs. Jared repeated the process of using the eagle feather to spread smoke down Liam's back, arms, lower back, buttocks and down each leg. He asked Liam to raise one foot up. The bottom of the foot was smudged and Liam got the idea to put his foot down and lift the other. 

"We cleanse our feet so that our feet will seek to walk the true path, seek balance and harmony, lead us closer to our families, friends, community, walk closer to our loved ones and help us to flee our enemies, and lead us closer to our Creator" said Jared. 

"Please kneel as you were before Liam" asked Jared. Jared then went through the same procedure on himself, cleansing his body. They were both kneeling when Jared resumed. 

He rolled the smudge bundle until it was out and then snuffed each candle while saying "The father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Creator." 

Jared looked at Liam and asked, "How do you feel?" 

Liam looked at him and replied "Happy, peaceful, I can't describe what I am feeling in words. I have clarity in my mind like never before and I feel energised. I now understand losing the patient yesterday was just part of the life cycle. We can't fix or save everyone. It is the path of life" 

"That is the way it is meant to be. You now know what it is to be cleansed" said Jared. Jared looked at Liam and with a sly look said "it's pretty fucking awesome isn't it."

Liam stared, giggled and then started laughing. They both stood and hugged each other tightly. Jared said "let's have a shower and hit the gym for a workout. Afterwards, we need to shop for a few things including some more food." 

Jared led Liam to the shower and turned the water on, setting it to a good temperature. The shower was a larger shower, 2 tiled walls and 2 glass walls. There was a rainwater style shower head over the top of it, allowing the water to pour down onto the person feeling similar to a heavy summer rain. Jared led Liam into the shower and turned to pull him for a kiss. They stood there kissing, allowing the water to run over their heads and down their naked bodies. Jared stepped back and grabbed the shower gel squirting into his hands. He placed his hands onto Liam's shoulders and started to wash them. Reaching for a face cloth, he squirted more gel into it and rubbed it all over Liam's chest and groin. 




Paramedic Pt. 03



"Hmmmm. Something getting hard down here" said Jared as he gently touched Liam's dick with the face cloth and washing it. He used the face cloth to stroke up and down the growing shaft. 

Jared used his other hand to toy with Liam's balls. He stood up and looked Liam in the face and pulled him into a hug. While they kissed, Jared began to wash Liam's ass crack with the face cloth, washing gently up and down crack and over Liam's rosebud. He threw the cloth down and grabbed each of Liam's ass cheeks and started to massage them. He reached one finger up and started to circle the little muscle buried between the cheeks before sliding it in. 

"Oh Jared" Liam exclaimed as Jared was slowly inserting the finger into the very tight opening. 

"Oh Yes" said Liam as he tightened his hug with Jared. Jared toyed with Liam's asshole pushing his finger in and out very gently. The two of them were rubbing groins and dicks together with growing abandon. Their actions of massaging each other's bodies as well as rubbing their hard cocks into each other went on for a few minutes. The two of them were now very close to cumming. Jared continued to grind his pelvis while fingering Liam's asshole when he felt some contractions from Liam's asshole on his finger. Liam stood still while he came with his cum smearing between both his and Jared's bodies. The sensation of Liam's warm cum between them and on Jared's dick was enough. It pushed him over the edge as well. Wave after wave of pleasure hit Jared as he cum. They both stood there, hugging tight, letting the shower water run over them.

Jared and Liam broke apart. "Good thing the apartment building has a large water tank eh?" said Jared. 

"We need to wash up again" laughed Liam. They finished their shower, dried off each other and went to the bedroom.

Liam looked at Jared and said "I don't have any clean clothes here." 

"Although I like the look of you running around naked, it might be frowned upon in public. We are about the same size so you can borrow some of mine" Jared said. 

"I am not wearing any of those ragged boxers" Liam said. Jared struck his tongue out at him.

They rummaged through the dresser drawers finding enough clothing for both of them to wear and then got dressed. There was enough work out clothing for them both as well and they threw it into a small back pack. It was mid-afternoon when the two of them finally left the apartment.

The boys finished their workout and showered at the gym. They both felt fantastic and energized as they went shopping. The two of them got into Jared's vehicle and drove to the mall. They wandered around aimlessly for a while until Jared saw a men's store.

"I need to buy some new underwear I guess. I don't want you laughing at mine anymore" said Jared.

"I didn't laugh at your boxers. I just thought you have different underwear to show your assets better! But again, now that we are together, I am not sure I want you wearing anything but your boxers when you have to change near others in public."

"It's too late Liam! Damage done! I am going underwear shopping for both of us" said Jared feigning indignation. 

"What do you mean for both of us? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? My underwear is perfect" replied Liam as he threw his hands into the air and rolled his eyes in an exaggerated display.

"Now that we are together, you need boxers!" exclaimed Jared.

They both laughed and went into the clothing store. It was one of those stores which sold all the latest fashions, and quite a section devoted to men's underwear. The boys were looking at several different styles and colours when a man approached them to ask if they needed help. 

Liam looked at the man and said with a big smile on his face "we are trying to find better underwear for this boxer wearing heathen. Something brief and tight would be perfect for him to wear."

The man gave them both a look over and said "Yes, I think I know what you guys would like. There are some briefs here which accentuate your package and hug your ass. There are no lines shown through your pants so it looks like you are commando."

The man showed the two of them another style. "These are a tight fitting boxer style brief with a pouch for the goods."

"If you are so inclined, there is another type here which can also be used as a jock strap" he said.

The man turned towards them and said "We have some nice jeans which would also look good on you two. The underwear and jeans would work well together for the bodies you guys have. You should be showing those bodies off while you are young."

Jarred bought a dozen pairs of underwear for Liam which he selected. He also grabbed a dozen pairs for himself which Liam gave his approval. The jeans they looked at were nice soft denim, mid-range rise, and were cut in such a way they showed off a person's ass. When Liam tried on a pair and modelled them for Jared, his only comment about them was "woof!"

Jared tried on a pair and modelled them for Liam. Liam came up to Jared, face to face. He reached around to the back and felt up and down Jared's ass. 

"These feel great on you Jared" said Liam. Liam stepped back a bit and looked at Jared's crotch area. It was obvious Jared was now semi-hard and the Jeans made it look even better. "I like those" he said.

The salesman was using a piece of cardboard to fan himself in an exaggerated manner. He said "So do I. You both look fantastic in those jeans. You two are so in love aren't you?"

Liam replied "We are very much in love."

The salesman smiled and said "My partner and I have been together for 15 years. I have worked at this store even longer and I have sold a lot of clothing to all kinds of people. I have seen people in love, people who thought they were in love, lust between people and people who were tolerating each other. You are the first two I have ever dealt with who I can actually feel the love radiating out of you like the heat from sunshine on a beach. Not to mention you are both generating a lot of other heat as well" he chuckled.

The boys blushed and Liam said "Thank you for your kind words."

They bundled up their purchases and left the store. Jared paid for it all.

Outside the store Liam said "Jared, I want to pay for my own things. I appreciate you generosity but you didn't have to do that because I do make good money as a paramedic. I don't know what to say except I love you."

Jared leaned in and said "I wanted to do this and I love you more. Money is just money. I love to use it to make someone happy. Plus watching you walk around in those jeans will be payment enough." Jared kissed him.

They locked the bags of clothes in the back of Jared's SUV. Upon their return to the mall, Jared took Liam to a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant where they tried all kinds of different exotic dishes. Finishing their meal and feeling like over inflated balloons, they went food shopping. Those bags of groceries were piled in the back of the SUV as well when they were done.

They got back to the apartment and carried the goods to Jared's apartment and put it all away. Jared got a bottle of wine out and opened it. He poured two glasses and gave one to Liam. They went into the living room and sat together on the couch.

"This has been a wonderful day Jared" said Liam.

"I enjoyed every minute of today not because of what we bought, but because I got to spend it with you Liam" replied Liam. He leaned over and kissed him sensually.

Liam returned the kiss with enthusiasm. When they broke apart Jared placed his hand gently along Liam's cheek, stroking it, taking in the soft and velvety feeling of his skin. Jared whispered "I have never loved anyone as much as I love you Liam. You are quickly becoming a very big part of my life."

Liam eyes started to water with tears. "Jared, I didn't know loving another person could feel like it does with you. Even when we were separated in the stores today, I was longing to be with you. I love you unconditionally and with my total heart."

"We have it bad for each other don't we partner" said Jared.

Jared put his arm around Liam's shoulders and pulled him tight. Liam leaned his head onto Jared shoulder and sighed. "This feels so right Jared."

"It does to me too Liam. I would like to tell you about my grandfather if you want to hear about him" said Jared.

"Please, tell me about him. I feel that you really have a strong connection to him the way you spoke about him at supper last night."

"My Grandfather raised me. I was abandoned by my parents because they didn't have the space in their lives for a baby. My grandfather was my father, my friend and my inspiration to seek knowledge of the spiritual world. I love him so much. The nice thing is, he comes to visit me sometimes during a smudging or sweat lodge ceremony to give me some advice, and to remind me I will always will be loved by him" said Jared.

Liam spoke "He visit's you Jared? I don't understand."

"The sweat lodge gives you a chance to commune with the spirits of people who have messages for you or you may have for them. It's not like making a phone call to a specific person but it seems to me, the ones who have the most important messages come through to share them with you. I must admit, I do not understand who is chosen to come through, but it always seems to be ones who I need to speak with" replied Jared.

"Please tell me more about your Grandfather" asked Liam.

"He is the last of the old ways. Grandfather is a healer for the people as well as a respected spiritual guide. I am told our family has been doing it for generations. I have the same gifts or abilities as he does, to channel the Creators will into healing. He can sense people's emotions even when they mask them. He can really get in touch with their deepest thoughts with a touch of his hand. At times, he can modify people's thinking processes at times as well by placing or covering up preconceived thoughts with his suggestions. He taught me all of these things, and how to control them as well. He taught me to accept the gifts and to use them on behalf of the Creator" explained Jared.

"So you know what I am thinking Jared?" asked Liam.

"No Liam. I could probably make an educated guess what is one your mind" laughed Jared "but I have never used my gifts on you in any way. It would have been for personal gain and I would never do it. Don't you recall Pierre outing me and I was shocked you were gay as well as being interested in me? I had no clue about you because I had never used the gifts."

"I'm sorry, your right. From what I have learned about you while we worked together, you have too much integrity to have done it. Besides, I have learned you do not lie."

Jared looked at him and kissed him deeply. "Besides, it doesn't take a mind reader what you have had on your mind for the last 24 hours. The constant bulge in your jeans doesn't need someone with a gift to recognize your thoughts."

Liam laughed "Only with you Jared."

"Liam, would you tell me about your life?" asked Jared.

Jared felt him tense up under his arm. "It's hard for me Jared. My parents were killed in car collision on their way to see me at college. They were great parents and like I told you before, they didn't even blink an eye when I came out. They did warn me of the difficulties I would face, but the assured me they would support me because I was their son and they loved me. Mom was a nurse and dad was a doctor. They used to laugh about putting a spin the term 'Operating Room" at the hospital. At 13, I didn't want to hear about my parents having sex which made them laugh only harder. We had a good life and I loved them dearly. When I graduated from college, I moved here to start the job." Liam explained.

"What about the collision?" asked Jared.

Liam hesitated before answering. "I was at college studying paramedicine. I was so involved in the course I didn't get home very often to visit with them. They offered to come up to visit; it wasn't a long trip - only an hour away. I offered to take a break from my studying and buy them dinner if they came up to visit me."

Jared felt Liam's body shiver, and he pulled him tight into his side. When Liam looked directly into Liam's eyes, he could see he was crying.

"You don't have to say anything else Liam" said Jared.

"For the first time, I want to. I want to tell you Jared, to tell you what a monster I am. They wouldn't have been killed by the semi driver who fell asleep at his wheel if they weren't coming to see me. The truck driver was running 2 sets of logbooks and been driving for 26 hours according to his satellite record. The company wasn't shutting him down and had encouraged him to put in as many hours as possible. He was popping pills to stay awake. They never had a chance" Liam was sobbing loudly. "If I had not invited them for dinner, they would still be alive. They left our house to come and see me because I was too selfish to go visit them. I killed them!" 

Liam got up and ran for to the door. He started to put his shoes on but was having trouble seeing them through the tears and fell over. 

"Now that you know I killed my parents, you won't want me to be near you." sobbed Liam

Jared had moved from the couch quickly and was following Liam. He was surprised at Liam's statement about being responsible for his parent's death. Now he understood why Liam was reacting to the death of the man involved in the collision yesterday so personally. He was feeling responsible for the man's death the same way he had suppressed his feelings of responsibility for his parent's deaths. He reached Liam as he fell to the floor and got down next to him, wrapping his big arms around him and pulling him in tight. Liam was struggling at first, trying to resist, but Jared was bigger and stronger.

"Let me go, I have to leave. You hate me know" Liam yelled.

"Liam, listen to me. STOP and be still" Jared said calm but firm. Jared could feel Liam's body stop struggling in his arms. 

"Listen to me Liam. I love you." Liam's body went rigid, but he wasn't struggling at all.

"Did you hear me Liam? I love you" repeated Jared keeping Liam tight in his arms.

"Why would you say that? I killed my parents" said Liam as his sobbing intensified.

"Liam, look at me" said Jared.

Liam replied quickly "No. Let me go."

"Liam, look at me" said Jared in his very calm voice.

Liam lifted his head to look at Jared. Jared could see Liam's beautiful blue eyes were red and swollen from the crying, but they were still beautiful. "Liam, I need you to stay here with me and let me help you. Listen to me Liam, I will say this very clearly - I love you, unconditionally."

Liam looked at Jared for a long time, as if he was trying to see if what was being said as the truth. "You can't love me. I killed my parents."

"Liam, I love you. Let's go sit on the couch and again and talk."

Jared could feel Liam's body relax in his arms. He stood, dragging Liam up with him and over to the couch. They sat down and Jared pulled him tight to his side. 

"Liam, we have talked of paths in life being followed throughout life. Unfortunately, sometimes when people are diverted off their pathway it may intersect with someone else's, changing them both. From what you have told me, it appears to me that is exactly what happened."

"You just told me they offered to come to see you and you offered to buy them supper. Is that accurate?"

"Yes."

"Could they have said no for your invitation to buy supper, or made it another night?"

Liam sat and thought for a couple of minutes. "Are you saying it was their fault?"

"No, I am not. Could they have said no for your invitation to buy supper, or made it another night?"

"Yes, they could have."

"Were they coming before or after you offered to buy them supper?"

"Before."

"Were they coming to visit you without any mention of supper and just to be with you to visit?" 

"Yes, they were. You are trying to blame them."

Jared replied softly to Liam, "Not at all. They made a series of choices in making the trip. They chose who was driving, chose the vehicle they were driving, chose the route as they the speed to travel to mention just a few things. They chose to travel down their pathway of life, to come and visit you of their own free will. The truck driver made all kinds of choices as well, except his were all bad choices. His pathway forked, and instead of sticking to the main trail he chose the fork. His fork unfortunately resulted in a path across your parent's pathway and the results were devastating. His choices resulted in killing two innocent people who were just following their hearts to be with the one they loved. You did not kill them. Do you understand Liam?"

Liam settled back into Jared and was quiet. "In spite of how fucked up I am, you still love me Jared?" he asked.

Jared leaned into and kissed him long and gently. When he broke the kiss Jared looked into Liam's beautiful blue eyes and said "Liam, I love you unconditionally. I am not complete without you in my life. I Love you."

Liam started to cry again. "I don't deserve you Jared."

Jared stood and led Liam to the bedroom. He helped Liam get undressed and crawl into bed. Jared quickly undressed and crawled into bed behind Liam, spooning him. With his arms wrapped around Liam, he said into his ear "I love you Liam."

"Jared, I am the most fortunate man on the planet to have met you. I love you so very much" said Liam

"Let's go to sleep and see what the next day brings Liam. Good night my love" said Jared as he kissed the back of Liam's head.

Liam bent his head down and kissed Jared's arm wrapped around his chest. "I love you Jared. Thank you." Liam was exhausted, and fell asleep quickly.

While Jared was waiting for Liam to fall into a deep sleep, he thought about the crisis with Liam's inability to deal with the death and suffering he saw as a paramedic. It had become obvious to him the real root of the problem for Liam was the suppressed memories of his parents deaths. He blamed himself for their deaths, and in this context he was blaming himself for the deaths of some of the patients. When Jared was sure of Liam sleeping soundly, he gently moved away from him and got out of bed. He went to his smudging room and kneeled before the bench. After chanting prayers, lighting candles and the smudge bundle he cleansed himself with the sacred smoke. After cleaning himself he placed the bundle back into the bowl. 

"Creator, guide my hands to do your work. Liam has a heart and spirit which needs to be mended for him to continue on his pathway in life. I sense good things from this man. He has a potential to achieve great things in his life and to help many, many people. He lives for his job as a paramedic and his real potential to make a difference."

"Creator, I have promised you, and I have kept my word that I would never use your gift for personal gain or reward. I am conflicted because I know I can help Liam, but I love him and I believe it would be for my benefit. I need your guidance Creator, what am I to do?" Jared continued to kneel and look into the flames of the candles in front of him.

"Creator, my heart hurts for Liam with a pain I have never experienced before. My head hurts thinking of him. My soul longs for him when we are separate. My loneliness and pain all disappears when I am with him. I cannot allow him to continue on this path to destruction." Jared reached out and turned his palms upward. "I offer my life and spirit to you Creator in exchange for Liam's broken heart and spirt being healed. I do this freely, I do this for love, and I do this to heal that man." Jared had tears slowly leaking from his water filled eyes, leaving a wet trail down his cheeks before they dropped off and onto the floor.




Paramedic Pt. 03



Jared brought his hands back towards him and positioned them on his legs. Suddenly, the smudge bundle lit itself and started to smoke. Jared looked at it and suddenly knew what to do. He picked it up with the eagle feather and ran to the bedroom. When he looked at the bed Liam was still sleeping. 

Jared pulled the sheet back and saw that Liam was lying on his back with arms and legs spread slightly. Jared took the smudging bundle and using the eagle feather directed the smoke over Liam's body from head to toe. When done, Jared stood back and looked at Liam. 

Usually the smudge smoke spreads out and up throughout the room. This time it was noticeably different to Jared. The smoke seemed to be hanging in the air, clinging close to Liam. As he was watching, the smoke seemed to take on a slight glow, growing until it was giving a white light to the room. Jared noticed the smoke moving around Liam's head. It then became obvious Liam was inhaling the sacred smoke as he breathed in. Liam's body began to glow slightly, commencing with his head. The glow spread down into his chest and abdomen. As the glow had passed Liam's shoulders, it had split and began traveling down each arm and to his fingertips. Now the glow had reached Liam's hips and once again split into each leg, progressing until the tops of his toes were glowing. The glow intensified as it encompassed Liam's entire body. Jared saw a dark shadow rise up out of Liam's body and was sucked up into the heavens. After what felt like hours but in reality was only a few seconds, the glow and the sacred smoke which had been clinging to Liam's body was gone. Jared pulled the sheet back up, covering Liam's sleeping form.

Jared returned to the smudging room and kneeled while placing the bundle in the bowl. His eyes were moist, knowing he had witnessed the Creator at work. He also knew it was time to forfeit his life and spirit to the Creator as he promised. Jared chanted and prayed, entering into a trance. 

While in the trance, he had a vision. Jared was seeing the same vision of the bear, the eagle and the wolves he had seen previously. The difference this time was a buffalo had joined the group. The buffalo said to the bear he was very proud of his willingness to serve. He continued speaking to the bear and revealed to him the eagle would be his partner, and together they would serve him well as a team. He knew the eagle's spirit was not well and it would be healed. He must have the eagle and bear together to serve him well. The buffalo said the offer of the bear's life force to heal the eagle was the act of ultimate sacrifice for love, but he would not accept it. The buffalo revealed to the bear it was time to start teaching the knowledge to the eagle. The eagle has the gift within him from many generations ago but it needs to be brought out from within him. The sacred smoke has brought it forward, but he still needs to be taught the how to use it. When the buffalo had finished speaking, he lifted his head up and let loose with a series of grunts, a loud reverberating mooing sound while pawing the ground. The wolves entered the sweat lodge, followed the bear with the eagle on his shoulder and finally the buffalo entered as well. Jared could see into the sweat lodge and the animals had taken up position around the sacred rocks inside. Jared could also see the shadows of humans, almost a crowd size, inside the sweat lodge but he couldn't see them clearly enough to identify them. Jared came out of the trance at this point. 

Jared prayed and thanked the Creator for his wisdom and his healing of Liam. He snuffed the candles and crawled into bed. Liam was on his side again so Jared spooned behind him again. He fell asleep quickly feeling good being snuggled with the man he loved so much. 

In the morning Jared awoke to find himself alone in bed. He felt his heart filling with lead and becoming heavy within his chest. Jared realized he smelled something in the air, food cooking. He sat up and realized the bedroom door had been almost closed. Concentrating, he heard movement in the kitchen and the sounds of someone cooking. The smells were terrific. Jared got up and went into the kitchen to see Liam working on something in the oven. He turned his head and smiled.

"Good morning sleepyhead" he said to Jared with a big smile.

Jared moved into him, sweeping Liam into his arms, holding him tight. "Good morning Liam. I was so scared when I woke up in the morning alone........"

"I thought I would make quiche for you and serve it to you in bed" said Liam.

Jared looked into Liam's beautiful crystal blue eyes and now saw them so alive and full of life. Jared kissed him tenderly.

When they broke the kiss, Liam looked into Jared's eyes and saw the concern within in them.

"Jared, I love you. Thank you for caring for me and about me last night. I don't know what happened, but this morning it feels like I have a new life in front of me. I am no longer carrying the guilt of my parent's death. I understand fully what happened and it was not me who caused it. I am so happy to know that. I am also very happy to have someone like you to love" said Liam.

Jared looked at Liam and could read the body language being presented. He was moving much more fluidly, stronger and full of confidence. His smile and eyes were consistent in their message of truth being spoken.

"Please sit at the counter, I will get you some coffee and breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes Jared."

"There is something I really need to do before that Liam, but it will only take a minute" said Jared. He left the kitchen and almost ran to the bathroom. After satisfying his morning piss need and rinsing his mouth with mouthwash, he returned to the kitchen to find Liam pulling the quiche out of the oven.

"Have you ever had to take a piss so bad that when you do, your vision seems to get brighter after doing it?" asked Jared with a smirk.

Liam looked at him and started laughing. "Maybe" he replied. "Let's eat Jared. This is the start of another great day, and another day in our relationship to enjoy."

Jared looked at him, and smiled.

After they finished their breakfast they were sitting back and enjoying another cup of coffee. Liam looked at Jared and asked "What happened last night. I have very clear memories of you putting me to bed and spooning behind me. I remember how I fell apart..."

"After you fell asleep, I left the bed and went to pray for you with the smudging smoke. I prayed for the Creator to heal you. I could not do it because I felt it would compromise my commitment to the Creator to never use my gift for personal advantage" said Jared.

"Jared, I may have had a vision or one hell of a dream last night while I slept" said Liam. I was on a rocky shore of a river, standing with a buffalo. A big black bear came onto the shore and sat next to the buffalo looking at me. We stared at each for a few minutes when the buffalo let out the loudest sound I have ever heard and I can only describe as a moo. I felt my heart lighten while he did this. I also saw a black shadow leaving my body and sink into the ground in front of me. After this happened, the buffalo stopped making his sound. He looked at me and told me the eagle and the bear must be together for their separate paths are now one. In the background was an old man dressed in leather clothing and furs. He had robe over his head and extended down to his feet. The old man had the beautiful blue eyes to look at and a beard which must have extended to his nipples. He had a bag made of fur with a strap over one shoulder. The old man had a stick, like a walking stick but it was tall and had a crescent shape like the quarter moon on the top made out of bone. He stepped forward and bowed to the buffalo before approaching me. He slowly lowered his stick down until it tapped me on the shoulder. When it did, I heard a noise of something like bubble wrap being crinkled. I saw another black shadow come out of me and get sucked into the ground. The old man stepped back and turned to the buffalo. It looked like they nodded to each other. The buffalo told me to walk my pathway in life with no fear, regret or insecurity any more. I have been given a gift which I must discover. The two of them walked away leaving the bear sitting there. He stood up and stepped over to me, pulling into his body in a hug. It felt as good as one of your hugs Jared. Everything faded after that. I woke up briefly and thought I smelled smudging smoke but I wasn't sure. I felt warm and loved deep inside me and I must have fallen back to sleep."

"It was a vision Liam. The black shadows you saw were the evil spirits who must have been deep within you. Deep enough to avoid the smudging we did, but not deep enough for the Creator to banish them. The Creator has told me to start teaching you in the ways of the knowledge. Liam, the Creator has opened a pathway for us to follow. You have much to learn and I can't tell you everything from my vision until you are ready to absorb the information. I ask you to be patient" said Jared.

"I understand Jared and I will try to be patient" replied Liam.

"That man you saw was one of your ancestors from Ireland. He was a great healer and seer like my Grandfather. You will see him more as your training in knowledge progresses" said Jared.

"The first thing you must learn padowin is how to do the dishes" Jared laughed.

"Hey I made the meal!" squeaked Liam. "Can we do them together?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way lover" Jared replied.

The two of them made short work of cleaning the kitchen. If someone else would have been in the room to watch, they would have seen two very good looking naked men chores in the kitchen. They could have also made a fortune letting horny men and women people watch live on line while they were working.

Liam had bent over to put the last item into the cupboard. As he was placing the frying pan into the cupboard, Jared stepped up behind him admiring the very tempting target of fine firm flesh in front of him. With a smirk on his face, Jared drew back and let loose with his hand, slapping Liam's ass squarely in the middle. Liam jumped up and arched his back while grabbing his ass. He mouth was wide open screaming like little girl as he bounced on his toes. Jared couldn't hold it back anymore and started to laugh.

Liam stopped bouncing and twisted his body. With one hand, he pulled his briefs down showing the perfect imprint of Jared's hand in pink contrasting the white skin of Liam's ass. He looked at it and Jared while pulling up his underwear. Liam said "It's on Jared" as he started towards him. 

Jared ran to the living room only to be caught by an airborne Liam, both of them crashing onto the couch. The wrestled and tickled each other for a while when suddenly they were nose to nose. They kissed, their tongues dancing in each other's mouth. They could feel each other's hard-ons trapped between them.

Jared. I am ready. I want you to make love to me, all the way. "

Recap from Chapter 3

Liam had bent over to put the last item into the cupboard. As he was placing the frying pan into the cupboard, Jared stepped up behind him admiring the very tempting target of fine firm flesh in front of him. With a smirk on his face, Jared drew back and let loose with his hand, slapping Liam's ass squarely in the middle. Liam jumped up and arched his back while grabbing his ass. He mouth was wide open screaming like little girl as he bounced on his toes. Jared couldn't hold it back anymore and started to laugh.

Liam stopped bouncing and twisted his body. With one hand, he pulled his briefs down showing the perfect imprint of Jared's hand in pink contrasting the white skin of Liam's ass. He looked at it and Jared while pulling up his underwear. Liam said "It's on Jared" as he started towards him. 

Jared ran to the living room only to be caught by an airborne Liam, both of them crashing onto the couch. The wrestled and tickled each other for a while when suddenly they were nose to nose. They kissed, their tongues dancing in each other's mouth. They could feel each other's hard-on trapped between them.

Jared. I am ready. I want you to make love to me, all the way. "

End of Chapter 3

Jared the Paramedic Chapter 4

Jared and Liam get closer, and with friends.

"Are you sure Liam? I am not pushing you and we have all the time in the world for us to do this when you're ready."

"Jared, I wanted to save that part of sex for someone I really loved and could trust. I have given you my heart, and now I am giving you my body as well." Liam looked at Jared for a moment and he could see the water forming in Jared's eyes.

Jared leaned over Liam and said "I love you absolutely." Then he kissed him. They embraced while kissing, holding each other tightly. Jared could feel the warmth of Liam's muscular body tight against his and started to kiss Liam's ears, pulling them gently with his teeth. Licking and kissing down his neck, Jared could feel the warmth in Liam's body starting increase. Liam moaned loudly and gently grabbed Jared's head with both hands.

Liam loved the feel of Jared's warm muscular body pressed against his. His skin was so soft on the surface, yet the muscles underneath were very solid. "I think we should take this to the bedroom Jared."

"I think so too."

They got up, and headed into the bedroom, their arms wrapped around each other. When they got there, Liam pulled Jared into him and kissed him. Their tongues dancing with each other while their hands roamed freely over each other's body.

They fell onto the bed with Liam on top. Liam started to kiss his way down to Jared's nipples, nipping at them with his teeth. He continued down Jared's chest until he got to the cute little belly button. As Liam was licking and kissing the button, he started to gently fondle Jared's package still contained with the underwear. Liam gently squeezed Jared's hard cock and saw a wet spot starting to form on the front. Jared's cock filled those briefs very well. It was hard to believe they actually were able to contain it soft, let alone hard.

"Those do look a lot better than your old boxers Jared. They're absolutely hot on you" said Liam.

"Thank you Liam. I have to admit, you may have been right, this time." Jared stood up, and then pushed Liam onto the bed, flat on his back. "You are overdressed Liam."

His hands roamed down to Liam's mound, still covered by the briefs he wore and started to massage it gently. He slid his hands under Liam's ass, grabbing his cheeks as he leaned down to suck on the cock through the underwear. Liam moaned in appreciation. The wet spot on Liam's underwear tasted like honey to Jared as he was sucking on the wet material. Jared could see Liam's blonde bush popping over the top of the low riding elastic. 

Jared leaned over Liam's face and kissed him. "I love you Liam."

"Even when you are not doing this, I love you more Jared."

Jared slowly worked his way down Liam's body. Licking and kissing every part of his body while slowly massaging the insides of Liam's thighs. Liam was squirming under Jared's touch.

Jared slowly pulled down Liam's underwear with his teeth, exposing his target in all its glory. Liam's cock stood straight up and was spewing pre-cum all over the purple helmet. Jared grabbed the underwear and finished pulling it off, throwing on the floor. He moved between Liam's inner thighs and started to lick along them slowly moving towards the low hanging balls. Jared used his hands to spread Liam's legs more so he could use his tongue right under the sack and on the perineum. 

Liam was in sheer bliss, he had never experienced anything like this in his life and he loose with a squeal. Liam felt as Jared slowly pushed his legs up to expose his hidden virgin rose bud. 

When Jared looked at the virgin target, it seemed to wink at him in anticipation. Jared moved in slowly and stuck his tongue out, and then rolled it around Liam's asshole. Liam moaned loudly and hissed "Oh god Jared."

Jared continued to lick Liam's rose bud with vigor. Liam was responding well and squirming in delight. Jared reached over to the bedside table and got the lube out. He lubed one finger, slowly inserting it into Liam. He arched his back as Jared's digit penetrated him. Soon Jared was slowly finger fucking him, making sure to get deeper so he could massage the prostrate as well. Liam was moaning and grunting unintelligible sounds.

"Jared, it's like electricity flowing throw my body when you touch my prostrate."

Jared inserted a second finger slowly, and then started to move them both in and out of Liam's tight virgin ass. His sphincter was loosening up nicely Jared thought to himself. He inserted the third finger, and Liam cried out in ecstasy as he probed deeper. 

"Liam, I want you to turn over and get on your hands and knees." Liam did so. While Liam was repositioning, Jared slid his own underwear off and threw it at Liam. He grabbed it and took a deep sniff and tossed them aside.

Jared spread Liam's legs so his rose bud was on main stage. Jared once again started to use his 3 fingers loosen him up some more. He was gently pushing them in and twisting them as he pulled them out, While Jared's one hand was finger fucking Liam, the other hand was toying with his very hard dick. Jared pulled his fingers out and applied some lube to the target of the night. He then squirted some into his hand and coated his cock. Moving behind Liam, he placed the head of the dick at Liam's virgin ass.

"Lay flat now Liam, with your leg's spread" said Jared. Liam did so. Jared played with Liam's ass cheeks and then put his thumbs between the tight mounds of flesh. He started to massage around Liam's asshole. Jared stopped and leaned over Liam, allowing his dick to slide up and down Liam's ass crack and across his hole.

"Jared, it feels so good. Stop teasing me please. I want and need you in me Jared" Liam pleaded.

Jared lined up his cock at Liam's virgin rosebud. "I am going to push in slowly. It may hurt a bit, but let me know Liam. I don't want to hurt you. When I am going into you, I want you to push down like you are taking a dump. It will make it easier. Are you ready my love?"

"Yes Jared. Do it. I want you inside me."

Jared began to push the head of his cock into Liam. He heard a gasp as he broke through the out muscle ring and his cock head popped inside Liam.

"Are you ok Liam? I will wait a minute for you to get used to it." 

A moment later, Liam said "I'm good now Jared, keep going. It feels so fucking incredible! Your dick feels so warm inside my ass."

"Ok. Moving forward" he said as he began slowly pushing into Liam deeper. Jared was surprised how relaxed Liam was and how easily his cock was going into him. He did stop a couple more times when he felt Liam tensing up. Each time he went deeper, Jared heard Liam groaning deeply. Soon enough, he was buried all the way inside his soulmate.

"Liam, you have it all now. How does it feel?"

"Jared, it's incredible. I feel so full with you in there; the warmth of your cock in me is something I never thought I could experience. I never thought it was going to be this good." 

Jared started to pull back, and then push forward slowly. Liam was making sounds like purring as he slowly moved in and out. 

"Jared, It feels so good in me."

Jared began to slowly pick up the pace and began sliding in and out of Liam. Liam was now making grunting sounds every time Jared thrust into him and bottomed out.

Jared stopped for a moment and grabbed Liam by the hips and pulled up. Liam raised his ass and settled on his forearms and knees. Jared began to move in and out of him again. Liam was beginning to figure out if he pushed his ass backwards when Jared was thrusting, his dick would go deeper into him. Liam was increasing the volume of his grunting sounds as Jared thrust into him. 

After a couple of minutes Jared said "Liam, roll over onto your back slowly." Liam turned slowly and Jared managed to stay lodged in inside him while he moved.

"Liam, I want to look into your face while we do this and when we cum."

Jared pushed in deep enough to lean forward and kiss Liam's lips. Liam kissed back and then brought his hands up to grab Jared's back. They moved down until they could cup Jared's hard muscular ass.

Jared started to move in and out of Liam again and started to move faster. Liam was letting out long groans. Jared changed his angle slightly so he could hit Liam's prostrate with each thrust. When he did this, Liam's eyes rolled back into his head. Jared was moving in and out of Liam faster now. The tightness of Liam's hole was making it hard to keep from cumming thought Jared. Liam was also thinking about how hard it was not to cum with the sensations he was feeling for the first time.

Liam called out "Oh god, Jared, I'm coming. It's too good to hold off any more!" With that, several long shots of sperm came out of Liam. The first shot hit Liam's face, the rest of the shots covered his chest. 

"AHHHHHHHHH" Liam cried out.

Jared began moving faster and slamming in as deep as he could. The added contractions of Liam's asshole on his dick were enough to drive him over the edge as well. "I'm cumming Liam."

Liam felt the warm fluid injecting into his bowels. He couldn't describe the feelings he was experiencing having that big dick up his ass, buried deep within him, filling him entirely, and now the essence of Jared filling his gut.

Jared collapsed onto Liam. They lay together for a couple of minutes; they gently kissed while the slowly softening cock was still imbedded within Liam. Jared got off of Liam. He could see some of his cum seeping out of Liam's asshole as it was quivering from his dick been removed.

"I feel so empty with that big dick of yours not in me anymore" Liam complained.

Jared reached down and grabbed a shirt. He wiped himself off, and then Liam. He then crawled onto the bed, spooning behind Liam and wrapping his arms around him.

"I love you Liam" said Jared.

"I love you more Jared" replied Liam. They both fell off to sleep, cuddled together.

A couple of hours later, Liam woke up and ran for the toilet. A few moments later, he returned and crawled back into bed. Liam positioned himself on his side, his arm over Jared and his head on his chest. They both fell asleep again.

The days off went too fast. The two of them talked, ate, smudged and made love often. Liam and Jared returned to work on Wednesday for their two day shifts followed by two night shifts. After that, they would have 4 days off again. 

The two of them walked into the base and went to the locker room to change. After, they grabbed a cup of coffee and went to the shift room for briefing of what had been going on and if anything was coming up. As they entered the briefing room, the shift Supervisor was at the front of the long table and looking flustered. There was one of the more outspoken medics sitting at the table and looking upset about something. 

Rob, the supervisor said "Ok, let's get started" as he started to shuffle papers. Tim, the outspoken medic chirped up "When are we going to get an answer on the wage increase?" 

Rob just looked at him and said "When I know, you'll know. Next topic" Rob said with authority in his voice. Everyone was assigned to their units for the night as well as two units being assigned to standby at a couple of hockey games. 

Tim mumbled on the way out of the room "I get the shit unit again and the fairies get the new one." 

Jared turned quickly and said "Repeat that again Tim, so I can hear it." 

Tim snapped back "You heard me asshole." 

Liam smiled "You said you're an asshole?"

"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on Liam" replied Tim.

"You like to fuck horses Tim? Is that what you're saying?" asked Liam

Rob looked like he was going to say something when Jared quickly held his hand out in a stop gesture. Jared then said with an even tone "Have a good shift Timmy." 

All Liam, Jared and Rob heard from the garage was "Fucking assholes" in a loud voice. 

Tim was not what you would describe as a nice man and just barely able to do the job. He had dark curly hair, brown eyes, about 5'7", and 220 lbs. In Jared's mind, Tim reminded him of the character Strax on Dr. Who. Tim had trouble keeping his pants up because of his body shape combined with the equipment on his belt. He had a pudgy face with big red cheeks. Tim was also the first to blame anyone around him or the equipment when something went wrong. If there was disharmony, he was usually not far away. 

Jared looked at Rob and asked quietly "What the hell was that all about?" 

Rob looked pensive for a minute and then looked at Jared and Liam and said "Let's go to my office and talk." The three of them walked out of the meeting room and down the hallway into Rob's office. After all three were in the office Rob reached out and closed the door then sat behind his desk. Jared and Liam sat down on the chairs in front of the desk and looked at Rob. 

"I am surprised you haven't heard anything about this. Tim has been on this kick to form an association for the staff. He figures if he pushes a bunch of demands out there and they aren't met, he can get support for an association. If he gets what he wants, then he looks the hero" said Rob calmly. 

Liam spoke up "we have always been treated well by management. Good wages, good equipment, great shift schedule, lots of training, Christmas bonuses and anything we ask for has always been considered. We don't always get everything but we are given a pretty good reason why not." 

Rob looked at Liam and then said "While you guys were on time off, someone called the Health Department and complained about faulty equipment, shortage of supplies and unsafe working conditions." Rob continued "they came down and went specifically to a couple of units. There was equipment in there which had been damaged and supplies missing, including some drugs like the Narcan." 

Liam asked "Why Narcan? It reverses overdoses."

"People can get high more than once on the same dose of morphine. When they inject the Narcan it brings them down. When it is metabolized, they get high again. Not a safe thing to do but it's not safe to use Morphine either" replied Rob.

"I guess I am a bit naive. I hadn't thought of using it that way" said Liam.

Jared locked eyes with Rob and asked "How long has this been going on?" "For about the past month we have been repairing equipment with suspicious damage and replacing missing supplies" replied Rob. 

"What did the Health Department say?" asked Liam. 

"They looked at our records and documents and will be monitoring the situation. The Department Representative said it looked to him someone may be causing the damage but he had to look at the potential service failure these problems could cause." 

At that time, the radio warbled startling all three of the men. Jared and Liam got up, opened the door and ran down the hallway to their unit. The garage door was open already and Liam drove the unit out. Dispatch advised of 45 year old man with chest pains and Liam hit the lights and sirens. 

The first half of the shift was call after call non-stop and they didn't even have time for coffee. After clearing the hospital yet again after dropping another patient Liam asked "Is it a full moon or what today?" 

Jared replied "No, new moon right now. I see some of the other crews were busy too and even Timmy's unit was at the hospital. They must be getting desperate to call him off the transfer schedule." 

A call came in for them to respond to yet another chest pain call in an office complex. Minutes later, they pulled up to the front door jumped out, grabbing their kits they ran through the front door being held open by a security guard. The guard escorted them into a large plushy decorated board room. A 35 year old man was sitting in a chair, his jacket off, tie loosened and the top buttons on his shirt open. While Jared was looking him over, Liam started to get the history of what happened. Jared had hooked up the heart monitor while Liam got the vitals. When he tried to turn it on, nothing happened. He tried switching it on and off again with the same results. Jared changed batteries and nothing happened again. Liam looked at him with a confused look on his face. 

"Call for a back-up unit Liam, Code 4" Jared said. Liam spoke into the radio briefly and then turned his attention back to Jared.

Jared said "get an IV into him, while I give nitro and get the morphine ready." At this time, the man's eyes rolled up in his head and he slumped into the chair. "He's coded" Liam said as he was lifting him to the floor. Jared then turned to the security guard and said "Clear the room now!" 

As the room was being cleared Jared ripped the man's shirt open and Liam started CPR. Jared very calmly said "Stop CPR and move back" as he put his hands on the man's chest. Jared closed his eyes for a couple of seconds and then opened them. Liam saw Jared's eyes had turned white and seemed to glow. Jared said quietly to no one in particular "Creator, this man is dying because of someone's evil actions on my equipment. We cannot allow this to happen. Guide my hands to do your work." Jared's hands glowed and the man on the floor drew a deep breath. He started to breathe regularly as if he was in a deep sleep. The glow disappeared. 

By the time the back-up unit arrived, Jared and Liam had the patient on the stretcher, IV running and he was returning to consciousness slowly. Jared was assessing him further when the second team came in the room. 

Liam looked at the back-up team and said "get him hooked up to your monitor." 

A couple of minutes later, with the monitor hooked up, they left the building and headed to the hospital. After dropping him off, Jared called Rob on the phone to advise him of the problem with the heart monitor. They drove to the base and exchanged units. When they looked at the batteries, the contact prongs were bent back far enough they would not make contact when pushed into the unit. 




Paramedic Pt. 04



"What happened" Rob asked. Jared told him about the man going unconscious and trying to use the defibrillator. Jared skipped over some of the events and continued with the man coming conscious again and hooking the second team's monitor. 

"We had used the unit a few times already today and everything was fine" explained Jared. 

Rob said he would look into it. 

As they went back out to their unit Liam said "the man was lucky it was you responded or it would have been a different result." 

As they were getting into the unit, Tim's unit was pulling up. "I heard you guys had some problems with your equipment. Lucky it wasn't a more serious call" Tim said through the window with a smirk on his face. 

Liam replied "It was our skill that did it. He was lucky it wasn't you that showed up Tim." Tim gave him a dirty look and closed the window. 

Jared said "That was quick, as if he knew a problem was supposed to happen. Rob was the only one besides us and 2 guys who backed us up." 

The rest of the shift was routine with a couple of minor calls and at the end of the day, Liam and Jared parked the unit in the garage. Liam saw Rob in the garage and called him over. He told Rob about the conversation between them and Tim earlier. Rob didn't say anything as he walked away.

After they changed and went to the parking lot, Jared looked at Liam and asked "Coming to my place for dinner tonight?" 

Liam smirked and replied "Who's cooking?"

"I am" replied Jared.

"Lucky I'm a paramedic so we may not have to go to the hospital to get our stomachs pumped" said Liam. 

Jared reached to smack Liam in the back of the head, but he ducked. Liam then said "Of course I am coming for dinner with you. It doesn't matter what we eat for supper, it is just being there together with which makes the time the best."

Jared got back to his apartment and took a quick shower before starting supper. He would BBQ a couple of steaks, grill potatoes and BBQ the corn with a fresh salad. Jared looked through the freezer and saw he was out of the wild game he usually ate. There were a couple of rib steaks though and he pulled them out and put them in the microwave to defrost. Jared then went out to the BBQ on the porch and lit it.

As he was coming back in, there was a knock at the door to his apartment. Jared went to the door and opened it to see Liam standing there trying to hide a backpack behind his body. Liam looked so cute standing there and Jared reached out, grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms. "You don't have to knock on this door, you're always welcome in here Liam" said Jared. Jared leaned in and kissed Liam. Slowly working his hands down Liam's back to the tight muscular cheeks of his ass.

Liam groaned as Jared pulled his body towards him, grinding their crotches together. Liam broke the kiss and looked into Jared's brown eyes and said "are you hungry for more than the obvious?" The fronts of Liam's 501 Jeans were filled out quite well in the front, almost as much as Jared's. 

Jared said "let's get supper ready and there will be lots of time for love making with my boyfriend."

Liam kissed Jared's neck a couple of times as he slowly reached between them to massage Jared's hard dick through the jeans. "Are you sure you want to eat first?" asked Liam.

"Hmmmm, YES. I am starving for two things, and they are both here right now. Supper, and you Liam" said Jared. "You will need the strength for tonight" Jared continued saying. 

"Yes, I agree" replied Liam, giving one last squeeze to Jared's hard dick. "I brought some things in case I didn't make it back to my home tonight. That wasn't too presumptuous of me was it?" Liam said smiling. 

"Not at all Liam. Something we should discuss in the future is living arrangements for us now we are boyfriends" said Jared. 

They split apart and Liam went to the bedroom to drop his bag off. He also changed into a pair of silky running shorts with a T shirt. Liam entered the kitchen and Jared was slicing potatoes. When Jared looked up, he almost took off a finger when he saw Liam. Liam was so sexy standing there with his blond hair, blue eyes, solid body, and tight T shirt showing firm nipples, nice package outline through the shorts and obviously commando, solid legs with blonde hair on them. Jared thought about how lucky he was to be with this man.

"Jared, keep you mind on what you are doing or you will lose a finger" exclaimed Liam.

"How the hell can I do that when an incredibly good looking man enters my kitchen dressed like that!" replied Jared.

"Thanks lover. I can continue doing the potatoes while you go and change into something more comfortable" Liam said. Jared agreed, and handed the knife to him as he left to change into the same type of clothing.

Liam was bundling the potatoes when Jared returned and they finished them together for the BBQ. Liam had already soaked the corn in the husk for the BBQ. Jared ran them out and put them on the grill to cook. When he returned, Liam was bent over looking in the refrigerator for salad fixings. His running shorts were tight and clearly showed the beauty of his ass. Jared came up behind him quietly and grabbed those solid looking cheeks. Liam stood up, startled.

"Damn it, you move as silent as a cat Jared. How do you do that?' he asked.

"Ancient Chinese secret" he replied. "Actually, in reality it is an ancient Japanese secret."

"The salad can wait for a few minutes Liam" said Jared. Jared went to his knees and pulled Liam's running shorts down. His semi-hard dick flopped out and Jared took it into his mouth to suck. Liam placed his hands on Jared's head gently and groaned.

Liam looked down at Jared and said "I want something in my mouth too."

Jared pulled his mouth off Liam's dick and said "good idea. Let's go to the living room." 

Liam with his hard dick pointing the way, kicked his shorts off and followed Jared. When they got there, Liam reached forward and pulled Jared's shorts to the ground exposing his 8" hard dick. Jared kicked his shorts off and grabbed Liam to pull him in for a kiss. While they kissed, they pulled each other shirts off. 

The two of them went to their knees while kissing. The broke apart and lay on their sides in a 69 position. They reached out and grabbed the hard cocks in front of their faces and sucked them into their mouths. Jared was sucking and jacking Liam's hard love stick when he felt his balls being licked and sucked on. Jared groaned through the mouthful of dick he had filling him. Liam continued to suck on Jared's big hairless balls while enjoying the sensation of Jared's tongue twirling around his dick head. Jared rolled onto his back, and pulled Liam on top of him. Liam's ass cheeks separated in this position. Jared licked his finger so it was nice and wet and started to play with Liam's asshole, finally inserting it slowly. Liam felt the finger enter him and he groaned loudly. In the position he was in, he could now deep throat Jared with ease. He lowered his mouth down on the rigid throbbing pole until his nose was in Jared's sparse black pubic hairs. It was Jared's turn to let out a deep groan. 

The continued doing this for another minute until Jared said "Hold on." He got out from under Liam and the laid on his back with just his head under Liam's dick, and the rest of his body between Liam's legs. Jared took Liam's dick in his mouth and sucked it deep. Reaching up, he began to finger Liam's ass again. Liam was beginning to fuck Jared's mouth with his cock. It didn't take long before Liam made his final arch and shot his load into Jared's mouth. They remained that way for a moment and then Jared crawled out from under Liam and got in behind him. He spit on his dick and pushed it in. He could feel his cock break through the muscle ring of Liam's ass and heard Liam calling out "yes. Do it Jared. Fuck me hard." 

Jared complied and pushed all the way into Liam. Liam had his head arched upwards, mouth wide open and moaning loudly.

"Liam, you are so tight and warm it is unbelievable" said Jared.

"You fill me with your cock Jared. God, it feels so good to have it in me. Harder Jared, harder" Liam replied.

Jared started to pound in and out of Liam's ass when he felt his climax building. The tightness of Liam's hole created wonderful sensations on Jared's hard cock. Jared took a final thrust and went as deep as he could. Liam could feel the contractions from Jared's dick buried inside of him and he pushed his ass back to force him deeper yet. The feeling of the warm liquid being squirted into him from Jared's cock was ecstasy for Liam. He loved the feeling of Jared filling him completely and then cumming in him. It was enough to push him over the top again and Liam came all over the carpet in fresh ropes of cum.

The two collapsed. A minute later, Jared kissed Liam and said "I love you more than life itself Liam."

Liam replied "my life would not be worth living without you Jared. I love you more."

After cuddling on the carpet for bit, they got up and went to the bathroom to clean up from their activity. Returning to the kitchen, Liam went to the refrigerator and started to look for some salad fixings. 

Jared came behind him and grabbed him by the hips and pulled him into his crotch. "Liam, life would be great if we were caught like in Ground Hog Day and had to keep repeating this day over and over" mused Jared.

"I agree with you. But, I am never going to get the salad made if you keep doing that" Liam observed.

"And the problem is?" asked Jared. The both laughed and Jared released him. He grabbed the steaks to throw on the BBQ. Jared was about to go out onto the porch when Liam suggested he put his shorts back on. Jared put the steaks down and looked around until he found a pair of shorts - they were Liam's. He put them on and went out to throw the steaks on the grill.

He came back in after closing the lid on the BBQ and found Liam chopping vegetables for the salad. "The other stuff will be done the same time as the steaks" said Jared. He started to set the table for the two of them. "Would you like a glass of wine tonight Liam?"

"Yes, a chardonnay would be nice if you have it" Liam replied.

"I think I do. Does it have a cork or screw cap?' Jared asked with a smile.

Liam looked at him with a smile and said "Dork. Of course it has a screw cap." Liam then laughed.

Jared went over to his cupboard on the other side of the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine. He went to a drawer and pulled out a corkscrew and inserted it. The cork came out with a pop. 

"It should breathe a few minutes" said Jared. He went to another cupboard and pulled out a fancy glass object. He poured the wine into it and then set it on the table.

"What is that?" asked Liam.

"It is a wine carafe. It is used for allowing the red wine to breathe. I take it you are used to drinking directly from the bottle as opposed to glasses?" asked Jared.

Liam just held up his hand and gave him the finger with a smile.

The meal was fantastic. The two of them sat and ate until there was absolutely nothing left to eat on the table. Jared got up slowly, rubbing his tummy and went to the cupboard and got out another bottle of wine. He pulled the cork and poured into both glasses. 

"This is a semi sweet wine. A Zinfandel wine made in British Columbia." After pouring the wine, Jared went to the freezer and pulled out the chocolate cheese cake and set it on the table. He pulled one slice out and onto a plate. Using a fork, he cut into it and then fed it to Liam. Liam took his fork and returned the favour to Jared. They continued until the piece was gone. 

They were cleaning up the kitchen when Liam came up behind Jared and pulled the shorts down to his feet. "You sir are overdressed" stated Liam.

Jared stepped out of them and used his foot to fling them into the living room. The two of them finished the cleaning and took their glasses of wine to the couch.

Both sat in silence, their bodies next to each other and legs interwoven, sipping their wine. Liam looked at Jared and said "That was an incredible meal. The thing which made it the best meal I have ever had was I got to eat it with you Jared."

Jared reached out and took Liam's free hand, brought it gently to his mouth and kissed it gently. "I feel the same way Liam. I wish time would stand still when I was with you so we never had to be separated. Liam, I have never fallen so quickly or deeply into love with any man before. My heart hurts when we are apart."

"Jared, I have never fallen in love like this before either. I feel like we are one person on a level I have never felt before. There are so many times we seem to anticipate each other's next actions or sometimes thoughts as well. I really notice this when we work together on something" replied Liam.

"Liam, I believe the Creator has chosen for our paths to become one, as a couple. I need to take you out to my little cabin in the bush where we can complete a sweat lodge ceremony. This is a traditional ceremony where our paths may be revealed by the Creator. If he doesn't reveal his plans, we are cleansed of evil influences and a chance to make peace with ourselves. We may even be visited by ancestors who have a message for us" said Jared.

Liam thought for a moment and said "I would love to do this but I'm scared. What happens if the Creator shows our paths separating or we shouldn't be together?"

Jared leaned into kiss Liam and then replied "I don't believe it to be a possibility. We both have already seen visions that this is our path. The bear and the eagle in the vision we had. I know I am the bear and I believe the creator was revealing your totem, the eagle. Remember when the bear hugged the eagle in your vision you said it felt like one of my hugs?"

"Yes, it did feel like one of them. You may be right Jared" acknowledged Liam.

"I have been planning a weekend up at the cabin on this set of days off. There are also four of my friends coming up for a weekend of sun and fun. It's something we all do as often as possible on our days off."

Liam spoke "This weekend? Your friends? This isn't an orgy weekend is it?"

"No. They are as monogamous in their relationships as we are. We do spend the whole weekend naked though" said Jared.

"Naked? I don't know if I could do that in front of strangers" said Liam.

"You know them all Liam. We work with Troy. Tyler and Josh are on the Police Department. The fourth is Josh's boyfriend Darren. He is a fire fighter."

"I know them all Jared, and never knew about them" said Liam.

"Liam, there is a special relationship between myself, Darren, Josh, Troy and Tyler. We are tighter than brothers and love each other very deeply as family. They will accept you as a new member of the family because of our relationship, and they will grow to love you as a brother" said Jared

"It sounds like an interesting but a fun weekend Jared. I do have a dentist appoint the morning we get off shift but I could drive up afterwards" Liam said after a moment. He then added "Jared I can't believe how fast and deep this relationship has developed. I'm still in shock actually. Now I'm meeting your friends. I'll be honest; I have no friends out of work here in the city to introduce you to."

"No friends?" asked Jared.

"No friends other than the type you just say hi or have short conversations with. I stay very much to myself and have learned to not to get close to people. Honestly Jared, I think I was staying away from relationships or friends so I would never hurt them like I thought I hurt my parents. You're different Jared. When working with you, I could sense how good you were and I felt safe just being with you. I do have to admit to jacking off more than once dreaming about being with you though" Liam said while blushing.

"I did the same thing thinking about you. I think the Creator blocked our gay-dars so we could get to know each other well before the path was revealed. I think the Creator wanted us to truly know each other as friends before he allowed us to connect emotionally and then enter into a relationship." said Jared. "I have an idea. Let's go for a long walk and then come back and make love until the sun rises."

Liam replied "I could go for that." The both got dressed and left the apartment. It was a beautiful evening for a walk along the sidewalks of the city. It was warm and there was a light breeze enough to keep the mosquitos from swarming on people outside.

"Liam, let's go over to the park and walk through the flower gardens" said Jared. 

They made their way over the large fountain and garden area. The flowers were as beautiful to smell as they were to look at. The two of them wandered around the various flowers and then to watch the fountain with its cascading flows of water. They both threw coins into the pond and made a wish. It was obvious what both of their wishes were when after throwing the coins in as they just stared at each other's eyes. 

Liam moved over to Jared and kissed him gently on the lips and Jared returned it. Turning towards the fountain, they watched the water cascade through various routes, arms around the other's waist.

They walked away from the fountain. Liam saw some Forget-me-not flowers along the edge of the sidewalk and bent over to pluck one. Standing up, he put the flower in through a button hole on Jared's polo shirt. 

"I would like to think the flower name says it all Jared" said Liam. "I don't need one because I will never forget who you are." He leaned over and kissed Jared.

It was dark now, and the area was lite by the lights on the fountain and the various lights along the walking trails. The two of them, arms still around each other's waist started to walk back towards the apartment. Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at the apartment.

The next couple of shifts flew by for Jared and Liam. The night shifts were long and busy, and the time in between was filled with love and love making. They were both looking forward to going to Jared's cabin and meeting up with their friends. Liam was not looking forward to the dentist appointment and having to drive up alone. He would rather be with Jared for the drive.

His cabin was overlooking a large lake about 3 hours north of the city. There were only a couple of other cabins on the lake and those weren't close. It was a long lake, but most of it was Crown Land or forest preserve. Jared's land was 1280 acres of spruce, poplar and birch trees many of them hundreds of years old. The land, except for the long driveway, some trails cut through the bush and the cabin area near the lake was untouched and natural. 

The cabin was built in spruce logs from the local land by his grandfather. Jared carried on the tradition and added onto the cabin a couple of times as well as modernizing it. The building now was now 2 levels with 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms as well as an office upstairs. The upstairs was open and you could look over the railing into the large living room and part of the kitchen. A large stone fireplace was in the middle between the kitchen and the living room, and open on both sides to provide heat. Jared had added a large wrap around deck with a hot tub to the cabin. He could stand on the deck or sit in the hot tub while looking through the break in the trees at the lake. He loved to sit on the deck and listen to the loons call echo across the lake in the evening. It brought an inner peace to him, something he always needed after being on the job and in the city.

Jared parked his Explorer next to the cabin and started hauling groceries in. He had made a call to the maintenance person who he paid to look after the place in his absence. He had been there already to open up the cabin for fresh air, dust everything off and make sure the hot tub was ready for use. The cabin and yard looked perfect as usual. Jared had made a trip into the resort town nearby to pick up some groceries and supplies before his guests arrived. 




Paramedic Pt. 04



When he updated and modernized the cabin, he had built the kitchen large with a professional set up. The cabin didn't have electricity before but he had it brought in so it was now connected to the power grid. He had a substantial backup generator installed as well for the many days during the year storms knocked out the main power line. During the summer, forest fires were always a possibility in the wilderness. He had fixed up a special outdoor sprinkler system in case of a fire. It was installed on and around the cabin as well in the tree line around his yard. If he turned it on, it would create walls of sprinkling water to prevent the fire from running through his yard. Jared also had a panic type room built underneath one end of the cabin. It was a safe place to retreat if a fire was not stopped by the sprinkler system. He and his guests could wait out the event in safety and relative comfort for about 72 hrs. 

He had hauled in the bags from the vehicle and had started putting the groceries away when he heard another vehicle drive up to the cabin. He looked out the window and saw Liam getting out of his pickup truck. A feeling of warmth and longing was suddenly felt by Jared and he rushed out to meet him. The two men met just outside the kitchen door and embraced each other tightly, kissing each other.

"I thought you said it was a little cabin the woods" Liam said looking at Jared.

"It is little. Little of this and a little of that. This cabin was started by my Grandfather, and I added to it. I love it here, it is so tranquil and the perfect place to appreciate Mother Earth and the Creator" Jared commented. "Let me take you for a tour around the place Liam. When are the others coming up?"

"Sometime this afternoon. Not sure other than that" replied Liam.

Jared reached his hand out and Liam grasped it tightly. They walked side by side around the cabin to the other side. As they came around the corner, Liam could see a beautiful lawn with large clumps of trimmed bushes he wasn't familiar with. There was a trail leading around the bushes to a large dock which jutted into the lake. Another well used trail lead off to a boathouse. There was a large fire pit set back from the beach on the lawn surround by cut log benches. 

Liam pointed at a strange structure off to the side and asked "what is that Jared?"

"That is a willow frame of a sweat lodge. I was planning on using it tomorrow night for all of us" Jared replied. 

Liam turned and wrapped his arms around Jared, looking deep into his eyes "I would love to do anything with you as long as we are together. Will you teach me about it?" asked Liam.

"Of course I will. It will be enjoyable for you and it is such a special thing to do" said Jared. "Let's go out onto the dock" suggested Jared as he led Liam by the hand in that direction. They crossed the sand beach to the dock and stepped up. The dock was a long and about 1 foot above the water in height. They walked to the end and looked out over the lake which had some little waves from the wind moving their direction as if they were coming to greet them. 

"I love to lie on my back on the dock at night, listen to the loons call and stare at the universe up in the sky" said Jared. "It is such a beautiful thing to do. Best part is there are not many boats out here to disrupt the tranquility. My neighbours are older people who enjoy fishing when they come up here but their trips are getting to be less and less due to their ages. Their children and grandchildren use the cabins sometimes but not very often." 

"I can see why you love it Jared. I think I will love it as well" said Liam. "The little waves on the lake are so mesmerizing when you stare at them."

"That could be the water spirits too Liam. They are the pranksters or jokers. They do something like that to cause you to step off the dock when you're mesmerized" explained Jared.

They walked back up to the cabin and onto the deck. Jared moved over to the hot tub which was sunk into the deck and lifted the cover. "Looks good in there and ready to use" he said out loud as he dropped the cover back down. They went through the patio doors and into the living room and into the kitchen. "Grab your bag and we can drop it off in the bedroom while we tour the upstairs" 

Liam ran out the back door and grabbed his bag, returning a moment later. Jared led him the stairs and followed him up the stairs. He was thinking to himself "Liam's ass fills those jeans so well." The upstairs was open to look over the living room and out through the huge front windows of the cabin towards the lake. It was beautiful.

They toured the upstairs and ended up in the master bedroom where Jared pointed to where Liam could unpack. Jared was standing there in thought when he was suddenly grabbed from behind, falling onto the large bed. Liam was on top of him, pinning Jared's arms stretched on the bed above his head. He leaned in and kissed Jared. "The only thing I love more than this place is the man I have under me right now."

Jared brought his leg up and his arms in as he flipped Liam over top of him to land on his back on the in shock. Jared then moved and pinned Liam to the bed in the same way he had been a moment earlier. 

He looked in Liam's eyes and said "ditto."

Liam started to laugh and said "Ditto? Ditto? We are in the most beautiful and romantic place in the world together and you say ditto? "

"Actions speak louder than words" said Jared as he leaned down and started to kiss Liam. His hands were working at Liam's shirt to pull it off. "You know, I usually don't wear clothing when I am up here, if any at all. You are over-dressed!"

Liam smirked and then rolled out from under Jared standing up next to the bed. He said "I would hate to be in trouble with management for breaking rules" as he started to tear off his clothes. 

Jared stood and did the same. In a moment, they were both naked and holding each other tightly while kissing passionately. 

They finished undressing and the two of them went downstairs naked and out onto the deck. They both went out onto the deck and leaned onto the railing. Jared came up behind Liam and wrapped his arms around him as they both looked at the beauty in front of them. "I love you Liam. When you not with me, my heart has a longing for you and I feel as if a part of me is missing. We are truly soulmates."

Liam felt the warmth of Jared behind him and his arm around him. "I feel the same way Jared. I have never felt the peace or fulfilment I do when I am in your arms."

"I would like to try the hot tub out Jared" said Liam

"Sounds like plan Liam, let's do it" he replied. The boys climbed into the hot tub and soaked in its heat. Eventually, they ended up cuddled together in the corner, looking out at the lake and the beauty of the area. When jets turned off, they got out and put the cover back on.

The two of them stood at the railing, holding each other and just enjoying themselves. Liam looked at Jared with a mischievous look. 

Jared said "let's for a swim to wash off." They both ran down to the lake and dove in. They played around in water for a time, diving under, pushing and wrestling with each other. After a while, they both climbed out of the water and lay on the dock to dry in the hot sun.

Liam, still lying on his back asked Jared "Do you always go naked around here? Don't the neighbours complain?"

Jared replied "No, it doesn't bother anyone except for the neighbour's daughter and her husband. You don't see anyone else here very often anyways. There is the odd time some canoeists come through. The other end of the lake has a small river emptying into it, and discharges into another small river on the other side. It's part of canoe route but this end of the lake is fairly sheltered and very few people ever journey up this way. But, I have had a few visitors though like last year about this time."

Liam sat up as well and looked at him saying "oh really, you had visitors did you?" 

Jared smiled and said "yes, a few. Just for coffee usually except one group of college students on some sort of outdoor experience outing. They camped in their tents on the beach for a couple of nights. We had great campfires at night, roasting some hot dogs and making smores. I introduced them to bannock on a stick. They loved the beach and swimming off the dock. They were all city kids and had never been in the bush before."

"Were you naked with them around?' Liam asked.

"No, I was wearing a loin cloth and they were really interested in how to make one. The instructor didn't have any objection to them learning about some First Nations culture so I went up to the cabin and grabbed some leather, a knife and the sewing kit. After a couple of hours, all 11 of the college kids were running around in loin cloths and even the instructor made one. It was pretty cute" laughed Jared. "They did some skinny dipping and nude sunbathing but always put the loin cloth on when they were walking around."

Liam asked "were they hot?"

"It was hard not to enjoy looking at the guys. They were all pretty fit and cute as all hell. Most were average dick sized, but a couple made horses look small. I actually had to make special loin clothes for them, with more in front. I did make a point of helping them to put it on and tuck them in properly. I got the impression the two of them were more than just friends. It took a bit of getting used to them for them to wear a loin cloth though. Most of them had hard dicks poking out the side now and then, but once they got used to it they loved wearing them. When they left, they all wore them to finish their trip" said Jared

Liam was quiet for a moment and then said "I'm hungry. How about you?" Jared smiled and nodded his head yes. The got up and walked to the cabin holding hands.

Once in the kitchen they worked together to make some sandwiches and fresh vegetables. They sat at the kitchen island to eat. Jared got up and grabbed the iced tea from the refrigerator and placed it on the counter. Getting two glasses he filled them and put one in front of Liam and himself.

Liam looked at Jared for a moment and started to ask something but stopped, choosing to take a bite out of his sandwich instead.

Jared looked at him and said "you have something on your mind. Ask away."

Liam looked shyly and then said "I don't know if I have the right or even if it is proper to ask you something."

Jared continued to look at him and said "you may ask anything. I'll never lie to you and if it's something I don't want to answer, I'll tell you. There's very little about me I will not answer you about."

"How can you afford all this around us? You're just a paramedic and although we make decent money, not this much" Liam asked.

"I told you my parents abandoned me with my grandfather. My father and mother were too busy living their lives for a child. They saw me as an accident rather than a gift from the Creator. There was no place for a child in their lifestyle so they dumped me. Mom was a full blood First Nation and my father white, and from a very well off family. They enjoyed their life of parties, travel and living the highlife. I was told by grandfather my dad was a stock genius/financial advisor. When I was 12, I came home from school to find my grandfather sitting at the kitchen table with his smudging equipment out, and tears in his eyes. My grandfather told me my parents were both walking the next world. They had both died in a plane wreck. He didn't say much more and I didn't know what to say. They were my parents, but I never knew them so while I was upset about it, I accepted it. We smudged and made peace with the spirits. My grandfather told me I had received everything in their wills as well as the life insurance money. I guess while they didn't want me, there was something inside them which still loved me in some way. Grandfather told me they had also been sending him money on a monthly basis for my expenses. He told me I would have to be careful of the money as it could divert me from my path in life. I didn't know what to say" said Jared.

"I went to the funeral and there were a lot of shocked faces from their friends when a 12 year old boy was presented as their son. Dad's family had no clue I'd been born and wouldn't even acknowledge me. My grandfather participated in the service performing smudging and saying prayers. I guess dad's grandfather had left him lot of money and business assets when he died and the family wanted it. Even after the paternity tests, they wouldn't accept me. They were very upset the entire estate was in my name" Jared said very stone faced.

Liam reached out and grasped Jared's hand and said softly "you don't have to go any further."

Jared shook his head no and continued "Because I was under 18, the estate had to go into control of someone to look after it until I was 18. The court appointed person had known my father by reputation only. He was appalled at the way I'd been treated by my parents as well as his family and swore he would look after the estate for me to the best of his ability until I was 18. He and my grandfather spoke at great lengths over the next few years. I guess there were some law suits from Dad's family and they lost every one of them. I understand John, on behalf of my estate sued the air company whose plane my parent's died in. When I turned 18, I had an investment portfolio I couldn't even comprehend. John spent the next couple of years teaching about investments and the stock market. He had commented several times I had the same insight and sense he had heard my dad had for making money. John really became a second father to me. He taught me so much. Between my Grandfather and John, I was a very happy young man. They never conflicted about anything and they always had my interests at heart. He's still my financial advisor, and actually works for me now. As of this week, I think I have bank accounts, businesses, property and investments amounting to many, many millions of dollars. For the record, I have only lived on my paycheck from the ambulance service and I have less than $3,000 in my checking account."

Liam sat there with his mouth hanging open not knowing what to say.

Jared looked at Liam and then said "close your mouth before it fills with flies."

Liam then asked "why are you working?"

"It's very simple Liam. It's the path the Creator has chosen for me. Plus, I also enjoy the work and helping people, feeling like I am making a difference. I have some fun with the investments and seeing what I can invest in" Jared replied. He then added "the money is play money to me. The only thing I have used the money for personally for was adding to this cabin and paying for my education as a paramedic. I do give big contributions to the hospital and various organizations but I've never let the money own me like it did my parents. "

"As you've been honest with me Jared, I'll be honest with you as well. I received a fair amount of money from my parent's estate and from a law suit which was filed against the driver and the trucking company. I have some money stashed away. I don't have the money you have, but I don't have to work either but I love the work. My money isn't invested very well and is there any chance John could help me out in that area?"

"I think that can be arranged. We can talk to John when we get back to the city" answered Jared.

"Up until the accident, I enjoyed life growing up. I enjoyed learning and had pretty good marks in throughout high school. I was also into swimming and won a few meets. I also enjoyed cross country running. I wasn't in the upper echelon of either jocks or the academics and I managed to associate with both. I was well known in school but able to remain under everyone's radar as being different. I had a couple of short term boyfriends but nothing serious. Mom and dad were great. We went on nice vacations during the winter breaks and celebrated Christmas with the grandparents until they passed away. Mom and dad had no brothers or sisters and were born late in my grandparents lives. They once told me they had a lot of common experience with both being lone children and older parents. Both sets of grandparents got along very well too. When I came out to my parents, they stood behind me when I told my grandparents. I was so scared when I told them. I will never forget my grandpa Nick that day. He smiled and said "this is what has you concerned? More importantly, this is what we held supper for? Liam, if you are happy, we are happy. We love you. Can we eat now?" 

When Grandpa Nick died one day, grandma seemed to give up the will to live and was gone within a month. The same thing happened when dad's mom died of a heart attack. Grandpa lived long enough to bury her and then get everything in order for his estate. Brand new will, prepaid his funeral and then he sat in his favorite chair to watch TV and died. It was like he willed himself to have a heart attack as well. I think they all had such a close bond in life; they wanted to be with each other in the afterlife as well. I never saw either set of grandparents fight or be anything but fun to be with. The love they had for their family as a whole was fantastic. My parents were the same way. Even when they disagreed, it wasn't a fight. It was a discussion until my dad gave in." Liam laughed at this. "My dad loved my mom so much he just disagreed with her so they could be together more while resolving it. He told me that once when he also told me to never go to bed angry. Always clear the air. My life wasn't perfect, but it was close to it."

"We grew up differently, but both of us had love around us while we did it" observed Jared.

Liam then looked at Jared and asked "Yes, I guess that is true. So what is this power you seem to have?"

"You will understand it better after this weekend after the sweat lodge ceremony. I will tell you I don't have a superhero power like you'd compare it too. I have a gift from the Creator. Do you remember the chant and prayer I used when lighting the candles when we smudged? I said - I invoke the light of the God within. I am a clear and perfect channel. Light is my guide." 

"Yes, I do remember that" agreed Liam

"I'm a just a man. I can die the same as anyone else. I'm merely a channel for the Creator. He uses me to fix things which should be fixed. He has given me the gift to heal things when they should be healed. There are times a person is healed from fatal wounds entirely, but usually they are healed enough to survive. The healing process gives the opportunity for a person to grow in character and the in the strength of spirit. There are new interactions between people, new things learned and experience gained. It may even result in family bonds being tightened or renewed. There are so many benefits from the recovery process which cannot be explained simply and must not be removed from a person's life" Jared explained.

"I sort of understand Jared. It is much more complex than I would have thought" said Liam pensively.

"This is part of the knowledge I am to share with you. This gift is limited and does take some of my inner being with it each time I use it. The injury is actually absorbed into my body as a form of energy and my spirit holds it until I can release it to the Creator. My life force is also replenished by communing with Mother Earth in this place. The gift must never be used in any way other than the way the Creator intended to be used. It is my path of life" finished Jared.

"You handle it well Jared. I assume you've dropped your guard with me and allowed me to see it. In all the time we were together, I never saw it used before last few days. I've wanted to ask you questions about what I saw but I sensed the timing wasn't right" said Liam.




Paramedic Pt. 04



"I have always used it. You may have had your eyes open, but I didn't allow you to see it. You did remember earlier I prayed over each patient. Sometimes the gift was used, other times the patient was allowed to walk the final length of their pathway of life. It's a lot to understand my love" said Jared.

"Yes, it is Jared and that is an understatement. I want to learn like you told me the Creator has directed. If I have the knowledge, I would like to awaken it soon so I may help you do your work" replied Liam.

"It will come with time Liam. Have no worries. That's enough of the learning for now Liam. Let's make you a loin cloth, if you want one Liam" asked Jared.

"I would love one, although I like it when we are both wearing nothing Jared" answered Liam. Jared got up and went to find the leather and sewing materials while Liam cleaned up the lunch dishes. Jared returned shortly with his loin cloth and belt over his shoulder, carrying a leather bundle with him. 

"Let's go do this at the beach Liam. When were other's going to get here?" asked Jared

"Should be anytime I would think, and I can just imagine their faces to be met by us in nothing but loin clothes. Yes, I think the beach is a great place to make it. I'll grab some suntan lotion and a couple of towels" said Liam. He gathered the things up and the two of them walked to the beach.

A little while later, Liam was sporting a new loin cloth. He was like a kid with a new toy. After trying it on for a bit, he took it off. "I would like to lay out for some all over tanning Jared, first time I've ever done it" said Liam.

"To hide a body such as yours under clothing is a crime. Make sure you put lots of sun block on your dick and ass. They aren't use to the sun and may burn easily, and I don't want that" said Jared. They made sure there was lots of lotion on delicate places and laid back to lay in the sun. It was about 30 minutes later when they heard a vehicle pull into the yard above. Jared and Liam got up, put on their loin cloths and went up to the cabin to meet their friends. As they came around the corner they saw their friends. 

Troy looked over and yelled out "They have gone native already!" Troy approached quickly and hugged them both. "I've been slimed! They are covered in suntan lotion."

"I'll slime you good" said Jared jumped on him with a head lock and gave him a nooggie.

"I give. I give" called Troy. By this time, the other three with him came forward to give their greetings. Troy's boyfriend, a slim dark brown haired, brown eyed man who stood about 6' came forward and hugged Jared.

"Good to see you again Tyler" said Jared.

The next to come up and hug him was Josh, a policeman from the city they worked in and his firefighter boyfriend Darren. They were quite the pair to look at. Both very solid looking at 6' and had light brown hair. Josh had blue eyes and Darren green. They looked like cousins if not brothers next to each other.

Darren leaned over a grabbed Jared into his arms and lifted him up of his feet saying "How ya doing there little guy? It's great to be back up here with everyone. But, when did Liam join our family?" he asked.

"Put me down you big lummox" said Jared. Once back on earth and standing on his own two feet, he looked at the new arrivals. "I think you guys all know Liam from work. He was a silent member of our family but circumstances have changed and he is now my boyfriend."

"Enough of this shit. Same rooms as last year?" asked Josh.

Darren smiled and said "you were in everyone's room last year. I don't think you even knew which one was yours."

"Bite me hose puller" said Josh.

"I will. Later tonight Josh, I will" replied Darren.

They emptied the SUV of luggage, beer, wine and food. The cabin was alive with people moving luggage up the stairs into the bedrooms, putting groceries away and beer into the fridge.

They were all pushing, jabbing, ass grabbing and trying to sack each other in the kitchen when Jared spoke up "you know the rules at this cabin guys. You are overdressed."

The guys all ran up the stairs, continuing to poke at each other. Liam smiled and said "it's like having a bunch of teenagers here isn't it."

"Yes it is. Big well hung men who are psychologically still teenagers. I love them all as brothers" Jared replied.

They all came down the stairs at the same time, all naked. The first down the stairs was Josh followed closely by Darren. Josh was 25 years old had nice muscle definition and a solid chest. He had a light covering of hair around his nipples. Except for a well-defined treasure trail and trimmed bush, he was naturally hairless above. His skin was deeply tanned and accentuated the hair on his legs. His cock was about 3 inches long when soft, and about 6.5 inches hard, uncut and fairly thick too. He and Darren looked about the same naked except Darren was a little bigger when hard at 7 inches. Obviously Darren had shaved his chest and bush off. His uncut dick looked even bigger. They both had solid butts from all the running they do.

Liam looked at him and asked "you shave yourself?"

Josh laughed and answered for Darren "he was feeling old when he turned 27 the other day and wanted to turn himself into a hairless twink again."

There was a sharp smack of a hand striking an ass causing Josh jumped forward while grabbing his butt. "I turned 26 you little ditch pig. I thought I'd try the shaving once to see if I liked it. I'm going to let it grow back as the guys at fire hall razed me too much in the showers" Darren said and faked a pout. 

Josh turned around to show us his cute ass and complained "I have your hand print on my ass!" 

Darren hugged him and said "it's ok Joshie. I will smack it some more later tonight for you." Josh broke out his grip and walked to the kitchen mumbling "I need a beer." Everyone started to laugh. Darren followed him in. 

Liam looked at Jared and asked "what's a ditch pig?"

"Josh is on Highway Traffic Enforcement right now, and they sit in low areas or the ditches along the highway with radar guns. Hence the name, ditch pig" said Jared.

"I heard that Jared!" yelled Josh from the kitchen. 

Darren then spoke up and said "I would rather my son be a prostitute than marry a ditch pig. At least prostitutes don't hide." Everyone started to laugh while Josh feigned anger.

There was another smack on someone's ass. Then Darren yelped as Josh spoke "payback hose puller, payback."

Tyler was standing behind Troy with his arms wrapped his boyfriend's chest. Troy was a 27 year old paramedic who worked on a different shift at Jared's base. Tyler was a police officer who worked with Josh. Josh had actually set the two of them up to meet. Tyler had close cropped hair, twinkling eyes and a killer smile. He had a solid chest covered in brown hair which went all the way down to his cock. His cut cock was about 3 inches soft and grew to about 6.5 when hard. Tyler was the closest of all of the buddies to having a 6 pack. His legs were well defined and covered in the same coloured hair as his chest. Troy was blonde and a cutie. He was solid but not overly muscular. He had fine blonde hairs on his chest, very sparse but they were there. A slight treasure trail leads down to his blonde bush. He sported a 4 inch cock when soft, and 8 inches when hard. His cut cock was a little slimmer than everyone else's but was very impressive when hard. 

Troy looked at Jared and Liam and observed aloud "you guys are over-dressed." 

Liam and Jared agreed and they both took off their loin clothes. The group had all got beer or water bottles and headed to the deck. They sat around and discussed what they were going to do. Jared spoke up and said "it is about 4 in the afternoon now, so why don't we play volleyball for a while and relax. Liam and I will make supper and grill the steaks. I have elk steaks for you guys tonight."

They all got up and a couple went to the storage shed to find the net and volley balls. Outside on the deck, Liam pulled Jared over to one side. "I need a word with you for a minute Jared" said Liam. 

"Sure. What do you need my love?" asked Jared looking at Liam with concern.

"I love it when you call me that. Jared, I have never been naked around so many guys like this. With you, I was fine but these guys...are causing me some problems" stated Liam. Jared noticed Liam had his hands in front of his very erect cock, trying to hide it.

Jared took Liam in his arms and held him tightly. "You've no fears Liam. It's natural to have all these hot looking guys around naked and for someone to get hard. I know it's hard to believe, but you'll see all us getting hard-ons at times. No one will ever think anything bad of you to have a hard dick flopping around now and then. You'll get used to being naked around them. If you don't feel comfortable, put the loin cloth on."

Liam looked at him and said "I'll try and not to be so conscious about it and I'll try to keep my mind clear of looking at their bodies."

Jared chuckled and replied "It really isn't anything for a stud like you to worry about. In my mind, you are hotter than all of them." He kissed Liam deeply and started to play with his ass cheeks.

Liam shuddered and said "Jared, this isn't helping."

Jared got down on his knees and took Liam's throbbing cock into his mouth and sucked. He started pumping Liam's cock with one hand while sucking on the hard cock. Liam closed his eyes and grabbed the sides of Jared's head and held onto it as he bobbed up and down on the dick. 

A few moments later with help from Jared, Liam was getting close. 

"Oh god Jared, I'm going to come. It's not going to take much more" squeaked Liam. Liam tensed and shot his load into Jared's mouth. Jared continued to suck as Liam leaned backwards against the cabin. Jared let Liam's cock pop out of his mouth and looked up at Liam smiling, and licking his lips.

"That should help that big nasty thing from being hard for a bit" said Jared. "You really were on hair trigger this time. You must have needed a release."

Liam looked at him and said "I love you. Thank you." He leaned in a kissed Jared gently.

They were standing there looking into each other's eyes when a voice brought them back you reality. "If you two are finished up there, we're ready for a volleyball game" yelled Josh. Liam and Jared smiled and then laughed, then went to join them in the game.

Chapter 5

The family grows tighter together.

Later that evening, the guys were all sitting around on the deck relaxing after a big meal. It was about 9:00pm in the evening now and the sun was setting. It was a breathtaking watching from the porch as the sun set, turning the sky to a blending of yellow, orange, red waves of colour.

Jared went into the cabin and came back with enough towels for everyone. He went over to the hot tub and lifted the lid, flipping it off. After turning on the jets he turned to Liam with his hand extended out. Liam reached out and clasped his lover's hand, following him to the tub. They both got gently in and settled in a corner, Jared's arm around Liam's shoulders. Jared's other hand was under the water line and manipulating his lover's appendage.

Josh and Darren joined them in the hot tub sitting in another corner together. They were followed immediately by Troy and Tyler. The six of them were chatting away about a variety of topics, telling jokes or poking fun at each other. 

Liam was trying hard not get a hard-on in the hot tub with these five studs around him, and Jared's hand wasn't helping the problem either. Soon he was as hard as a rock, and turning red from embarrassment. Jared started to kiss his neck and his lips. It was then Liam noticed everyone else was doing the same thing with their boyfriends. Liam began to kiss Jared back, relaxing. Liam reached under the water and grabbed Jared's hard dick. It was like steel and Liam knew where he wanted it. 

Liam stood up and then shifted over top of Jared and started to sit down. He felt Jared's dick at his asshole and sat down more. He could feel it enter him as he groaned. He finished sitting down on Jared's dick. All 9" of it was now embedded deep inside of him. It felt so good, and it felt so right. Liam started to shift his weight up and down on Jared's dick and it was an incredible feeling. Liam suddenly remembered the others in the hot tub and looked over at them. 

Josh was on Darren's lap and obviously doing the same thing he was. Troy and Tyler had just got into position and Tyler was sitting down on Troy's dick. The water in the hot tub was now splashing over the edges in waves from the six muscular men having sex. Liam became focused on Jared's big dick deep inside of him and tuned the others out. 

Jared then placed both hands on Liam's shoulders and said "Its time Liam. I want you to seed me with your essence. " 

Liam looked at him and replied "Jared, I've wanted to do this with you but was afraid to ask. I was also enjoying bottoming so much I didn't mind."

They separated and stood in the tub. Jared then turned and kneeled on the tub seat, hanging over the edge of the tub presenting his tight, muscled ass to Liam. Liam stood there and hesitated. This is so new to me he thought to himself. He felt hands on each shoulder and he turned to see Josh and Tyler standing beside him. Josh quietly suggested he grab Jared's ass cheeks to pull them apart and then use his tongue to lick at the little exposed rose bud. Liam did this and the resulting moans from Jared told him he was doing it right.

While he was sticking his tongue into Jared, Tyler quietly suggested to Liam he use a finger to slowly enter Jared's asshole. Tyler poured some silicone based lube on Liam's finger. Liam slowly pushed his finger into Jared and kept asking him if it was hurting him at all.

Jared replied "Do as you're doing lover. I'll let you know if it hurts."

Josh made a gesture with his finger suggesting he move it in and out. Liam did this. When he looked at Josh again, he was making a fingertip wiggling motion in the air. He leaned in and whispered to Liam "rub the prostrate with your finger tip like this. You know what it is medic boy, but when you massage it like this, it will send shocks through Jared's body. Liam did this and he felt Jared's muscles tighten and his head come up. "You got it Liam, do that" Jared yelled.

Tyler let him continue for a bit and then made a gesture of putting in two fingers. Liam did so. Jared seemed to be really enjoying what Liam was doing and was moaning wildly. Liam looked at his friends and smiled; they were all sitting on the edge of the hot tub watching, and playing with themselves or each other. Darren stepped forward and gently grabbed Liam's hard cock. He looked down at it and then Darren looked at Liam and indicated three fingers into Jared now. While Liam was pushing a third finger into Jared, Darren let Liam's dick go and returned to his seat. He promptly reached over and grabbed Josh's hard dick. Darren loved to play with the big head on Josh's dick by sliding the foreskin back and forth over it.

Troy stepped forward to Liam and got his attention. He motioned for Liam to stand close to the hot tub seat, and Liam did so. Troy squirted some lube into Jared's stretched asshole, enjoyed himself while he use his fingers to make sure it was getting into him. Then he took some lube and grabbed Liam's dick, smearing it up and down the length of the hard shaft. 

Troy leaned over and whispered in Liam's ear "Put it in slowly. First let the head pop in and then pause for a moment. Then push in more gently until you have impaled him totally. Then you know what to do eh?"

Liam was having some trouble balancing and trying to get his hard cock into Jared. Troy came up and gently grabbed Liam's dick and aimed it for its target. Liam mouthed "thanks" as he pushed forward into Jared. He waited a moment like he had been told, and then started to push more in slowly. Jared caught him off guard by pushing his ass back, impaling Liam deep inside of him.

Jared turned his head and said "Fuck me Liam. Do it like you imagined in your jerk off sessions."

Liam smiled and started pounding Jared's ass at a slow pace, increasing in speed. A few moments later, Liam knew he wouldn't last long as the feeling was the best thing next to being fucked. His cock was deep in Jared's tight warm, moist hole and it felt incredible. 

"Jared, I'm sorry. I can't last much longer" said Liam. 

Jared turned his head and said "I'm ready for your seed. Give me your essence Liam. Give it to me as hard and deep as you can. Squirt that seed Liam" he commanded.

It only took a few more thrusts as he came deep in Jared's ass. As he came, Liam felt contractions in Jared's asshole and realized Jared was cumming too. The feeling Liam had at this moment was incredible. He felt like an eagle flying over the trees and lake. He was looking down at the cabin and everyone in the tub and he even saw himself making love to Jared. He felt a second set of orgasmic waves coarse through his body like he had never felt before, seeming to last forever. 

What Liam didn't realize was as he closed his eyes and delivered his essence deep into Jared, they had both began to glow white. The white light had started deep within Liam's pelvic region and soon expanded throughout his body. As his essence was ejaculated, Jared's lower abdominal began to glow, and it spread quickly throughout his body. The two of them were now entirely white and as Liam was cumming a second time inside Jared, the white glows combined into one white orb. Jared was cumming as well, his seed being expelled through air and onto the leaves of bushes nearby. When their waves of pleasure ended, the glow receded from them the way it started, disappearing entirely. 

The vision was gone now. The tub was in absolute silence. Liam backed off and popped out of Jared ass. Jared stood up and bent over so Liam could see his cum, his seed dribbling out of Jared's ass. Jared stood up and then grabbed Liam tightly kissing him.

Liam looked around the hot tub and realized the other four guys had masturbated each other watching him and Jared make love. They each had trails of sperm on their chests and stomachs. Liam stood there. 

"That was incredible" mumbled Darren.

"I agree" said Liam, out of breath.

"You don't understand Liam. We saw the two of you glowing as you made love" explained Josh.

Jared smiled at the group, knowing they wanted an explanation. "I told you making love was a not just a sexual release, it is the blending of two spirit's essence who become one spirit, bound together."

"That's what we saw? The spirit's blending?" asked Tyler.

"Yes. I see it every time you guys make love with your boyfriends, as everyone here will see it when someone makes true love" said Jared. "It is a beautiful thing, isn't it?"

Troy spoke up "You never cease to amaze me Jared. Watching the two spirits blend gave me such a feeling of love and warmth throughout my body I will not soon forget."

"The blending of love is a beautiful thing, but there are some spirits you don't want to see during sex. I have seen people with dark shadows coming out of them to take control of the other person's spirit. That's something very common in an abusive relationship" said Jared.

"So there's not only physical fighting and damage, but fighting and damage on a spiritual level as well" said Josh.

Jared smiled at him "Yes Josh, you hit the nail on the head. You guys will see it now as well. If you want to see spirits of all varieties, go to a bathhouse or gay bar sometime. It's fascinating to watch what's going on above the people in the bar."

Liam asked "Changing the topic here but Jared did you see the vision? I was an eagle flying over the group and watching everybody in the hot tub and us making love."

"No, I didn't see that one but it's a very powerful vision Liam, and it reveals you will have the ability to leave your body and travel as one of your gifts" said Jared.

"That's a scary thought Jared" said Liam. With a twinkle in his eye he asked "Can I touch people and they would be aware I am touching them?"

Jared read Liam's mind through his contact with their hands. "Yes, I'll teach you how to do it, and even how to pinch Darren's ass."

"Hey, what about my ass?" asked Darren. "That's not fair guys, spirits pinching my ass."

The guys all laughed as Darren put both of his hands over his ass.

"Jared, Is what we felt above the sex I mean, is that what true love feels like" asked Liam.

Jared smiled and kissed Liam's hand. "It gets better Liam, it gets much better."

Everyone got up and had a tight group hug in the center of the tub. Liam was elated. He felt part of something for once in his life and he had friends. They split apart and then started congratulating Liam for losing his virginity as well as his blending of spirits.

They others were telling him how hot he was making love to Jared, calling him a stud. Liam turned to Jared and kissed him "I love you so much Jared. They were so good to me, helping, guiding and they weren't insulting or making fun of me. They wanted me to succeed."

Liam turned to everyone and said "Thank you." 

They all group hugged again when Josh spoke up and said "you are our brother. This is what we do. Love each other and help each other to succeed in whatever you do." 

Jared got up out of the tub and asked who wanted another drink. Everyone put up their hands. A few moments later, Jared returned with a tray holding five bottles of beer, a tea pot and a mug. They had all moved out of the tub and into the deck chairs when he returned. Jared handed out the beer placing the empties on the tray. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat down. Liam came over to him and sat on Jared's lap positioning himself so his head was on Jared's chest. Jared hugged Liam and kissed the top of his head gently.

They all chatted and generally bullshitted amongst themselves for a few minutes when Darren spoke up and asked "Are we going to move this down to the fire pit? It would be nice to sit around a fire tonight."

"There's lots of wood ready for tonight. I figured you guys would want to do the fire pit thing. Tomorrow night, we're going to have a sweat in the lodge" said Jared. "This will be Liam's first time in a sweat lodge. You guys know the rules, you may drink tonight, but nothing after noon tomorrow. You must be sober for the sweat. "

Troy spoke up "We know. Liam, you will love it. It's really something awesome to experience. We'll be with you the entire time, all six of us as family and friends." 

"I'll talk to you Liam before the sweat and explain things. It'll be a good sweat with the people who are here. They are all of true heart, soul and love" said Jared. "Let's move our asses to the fire pit. Troy and Tyler, can you fill the cooler with some ice and a few beers to take down? Darren, I know you are trained and try to put out fires, but can you start one?" asked Jared.

Darren game him the finger then started patting where he would have pockets but being nude, there was nothing. "Have you got some matches, I can't seem to find any?"

Jared said "Kitchen." 

Darren walked by towards the kitchen when Jared smacked him in the ass. "You're right Josh, it is perfect for a spanking." Darren turned and gave him the finger and did the same to Josh. They both laughed.

"Liam, would you grab the stuff in the bag on the cupboards and bring it to the fire pit" asked Jared. 

Josh had a big smile on his face and asked "s'more making stuff Jared?"

"Of course. It wouldn't be the same to sit around the fire without them. I know how much you love them" replied Jared. "Don't drip any hot marshmallow on your dick this year please Josh." 

"I will try, but it is so big and gets in the way now and then" he replied.

The guys all set out to their tasks and got to the beach. Darren had the fire roaring and they settled down. There was lots of telling funny stories, jokes and even a few serious discussions. They made s'mores and roasted marshmallows. The guys were all sitting with their boyfriends, snuggling as the fire died down. 

Jared stood and said "I'm calling it a night. Liam?"

Liam stood and wrapped his arm around Jared and said "Me too."

Jared asked the guys to make sure the fire was out when they called it a night and to be sure the food was all brought back to the cabin. "Remember, there are bears around here. Four legged types not the two legged ones you find in gay bars" added Jared.

The guys all agreed and said good night. Liam and Jared were walking back to the cabin, arm in arm when Jared stopped and pulled Liam into him. He kissed him and then said "I have been truly blessed to find you my love."

"Jared, it was I who was blessed to find you. I've never wanted anything in my life other than to be loved by someone as much as I love them. You're the first person to ever truly love me. I also truly love you Jared" said Liam.

"Liam, have you ever slept under the stars?" asked Jared.

"Never, can we do it?" pleaded Liam.

"Of course. Let's go up to the cabin and get a couple blankets and something else we may need. I know a spot just down the beach a bit. It's a grassy area which looks over the lake."

They went to the cabin and found some blankets, lube and a flashlight. Jared went to his office and opened a wall cabinet. Inside the wall cabinet was a selection of firearms. He selected a Mini 14 Tactical weapon and slid a clip into it. Liam looked concerned. 

"It's for physical bears or other animals which may bother us" said Jared and smiled. "The spiritual bears are here to help, but the physical ones can cause a lot of pain and injuries to someone as tasty as you Liam." Jared slid the strap over his head and let it hang on his back. 

"Your pretty tasty too Jared and that's quite a collection you have in there. You expecting Russian paratroopers to drop in or something?" asked Liam.

"No. It's just a hobby of mine and Grandfathers."

The two of them walked back down the path towards the fire pit. There was still a low fire burning and in the light they both could see the two pairs of boyfriends making love. Josh was bent over one of the big log benches and Darren was thrusting into him. On the other side of the fire, Troy was on his back knees spread and Tyler was on top of him, busily thrusting in and out. There were a lot of grunts and groans heard coming from the fire pit area, all of enjoyment. Jared and Liam stood for a moment watching the 4 sexy men making love in the firelight. The tight muscular butts moving up and down were so beautiful to watch.

Jared pulled Liam into him and kissed him, their hard cocks rubbing each other and pinned between their bodies as they kissed. "Let's go, it's not far" said Jared.

They walked for a few minutes and Jared stopped. He spread one blanket on the ground and then rolled another up as a pillow. He placed a third blanket on the opposite end. Jared then took the Mini 14 off and placed it on the other side of the makeshift pillow. Jared pulled Liam down to the blankets and kissed him. They made slow passionate love under the stars. Afterwards, they snuggled together and fell asleep, looking up at the stars and feeling safe in each other's arms.

They awoke a few hours later as the sun was rising. It was about 5 in the morning and getting warm already. They got up to take a piss, gathered their possessions, the gun and headed back to the cabin arm in arm. As they went by the fire pit, they saw the guys still there. Someone had gone up to the cabin to get a couple of blankets and all four of them were spooned behind each other sleeping peacefully.

"Let's not disturb them" Jared said quietly and led Liam past and onto the cabin. "I don't know about you, but I need a shower" he added. Liam agreed if he could join him for one as well.

They entered the shower and were soon soaping each other up and playing with each other's hard on. They jacked each other to mutual satisfaction, spraying their loads on each other. The two of them washed off, got out and dried off then went to the kitchen.

Jared and Liam started the coffee and getting things out for breakfast. Soon the air was filled with the smell of bacon, coffee and pancakes. "I wonder when they will wake up" asked Liam. No sooner were the words out of his mouth when the patio door opened and the four guys came in carrying the cooler and other food.

Jared looked over the kitchen island and laughed "Long night boys? Josh, are you walking funny?" Josh gave him the finger.

"Breakfast is ready boys. Dig in" said Liam.

The guys attacked the food in such a way Jared stood back while he had visions of wolves attacking a wounded deer. The guys all piled food high on their plates and sat down on the stools at the counter. Food was disappearing fast off their plates and into their mouths. 




Paramedic Pt. 05



"Ok assholes, we slaved over a hot stove all morning and you guys haven't said a word – just packing your faces" said Jared, smiling.

All Jared and Liam heard were sounds coming out of full mouths of food which were possibly English but Jared was unsure. He laughed and filled a plate of food for Liam. Jared filled his own plate and the two of them started to eat with the rest of the wolf pack.

They all pitched in and cleaned up the kitchen. The guys all talked about what to do for the day. Liam did know there was a boathouse, but didn't realize it contained a boat for water skiing and one for fishing.

Jared said "I have to take the other boat and go to the river to collect some special rocks for the sweat tonight." 

Liam offered to help but Tyler cut in and said "he communes out there and it may take a while. Take it from me; he doesn't say a thing while he is doing it and we learned to just let him do it his way."

Liam looked hurt and Jared pulled him into his arms and kissed him. "It's the part of me of me you still need to learn about Liam. It's part of my spirituality."

"I understand Jared. I just like to be with you, whether we speak or not" said Liam.

"I have thought about it and you can come with me Liam"

Liam smiled and took Jared's hand and kissed it. "Thanks Jared" he said.

"Ok, we will take off on our search. Don't forget to start the fire guys. We need a good base of coals to put the rocks onto" said Jared.

"Liam, would you go grab our loin cloths and some water for the trip please. I'll get the boat ready" asked Jared

"Sure, I will meet you on the dock" replied Liam as he headed back to the cabin

Jared went down to the boathouse and entered. He opened the overhead door and lowered the fishing boat into the water. The fishing boat, as he called it, was actually a 26' jet boat. The jet boat, having a very shallow draft in the water and using an impeller to power the water out the back of the boat allowed him to use it not only on the lake but to go up the river as well. He started the boat and backed it out. Once he was out of the boat house, he nosed over to the dock where Liam was waiting for him wearing his loin cloth and with a cooler. When Jared was close enough, Liam jumped in, put the cooler on the deck and then joined Jared behind the windshield. He handed Jared his loin cloth and belt, which he put it on expertly. 

"Are you ready?" asked Jared.

"Always" he replied.

Tyler and Darren were on the dock now dumping the waterski equipment on it to sort out.

Jared looked at the two of them and turned to Liam and said "watch this." 

He turned the boat around until it lined up with the two unsuspecting victims. Jared smirked and threw the throttle forward all the way. The 454 engine kicked in and the impeller drew in a tremendous amount of water. This water was expelled out the back just as fast causing the boat to move forward. Jared had timed it perfectly. The water column expelled from this boat is about 60' long until the boat is up and planning on the surface. The rooster tail, as it is commonly called, hit both of the guys on the dock, knocking them off the dock and into the water.

When Jared looked back a moment later, Tyler and Darren were back on the dock and using both sets of hands in a single gesture with the middle finger. Liam was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.

This boat was not built for speed; it was built for running rivers. The boat hit the maximum speed of approximately 40 mph and steadily moved forward. After about 15 minutes, the mouth of the river was in sight and he headed towards it. 

Liam looked out from the boat and observed a moose standing in the shallows eating something. He tapped on Jared's shoulder and pointed. Jared looked and smiled. 

"Keep your eyes open, you can see all kinds of wildlife here" said Jared. 

They had entered the river and were now heading upstream. Along the shore, Jared pointed at a mother black bear and two cubs digging at rotten logs for food. Liam was amazed. After about another 15 minutes, Jared cut back on the throttle and nosed towards shore. He drove up to the shore and placed the bow onto the sand of the beach, turning the motor off. He went to the bow and jumped off with a rope, securing it to beached log. 

"This area is prime picking for good rocks to be used in the sweat tonight. They are solid rocks given to us by Mother Earth for this purpose."

"Why these rocks?" asked Liam.

"The rocks you pick should be of limestone or granite, without significant cracks. We want rocks a little larger than a softball, or the size of a cantaloupe. We never use sandstone or other porous, water-absorbing-type stones. Wet sandstone can explode when heated in the fire. When we are searching for the rocks, you must not talk and focus on listening. They will call to you" said Jared. 

"Liam, the Creator has told me something about you and this is the best place for us to discuss it" said Jared.

Liam looked concerned and asked "the Creator spoke to you of me? What did he say?"

Jared looked at him and invited him to sit with him on a beached log up the beach. "He spoke to me through visions and he told me you have a place for me in your life, and that I have a place in my life for you. We were meant to be together, to walk the path of life together. It was not clear to me if he meant as work partners or life partners. But, he said it was time for you to learn the ways. He has chosen you for a great honour during the sweat tonight, which will only be revealed in his way and on his time tonight."

Liam looked shocked and replied "I haven't asked for anything from him, why would he offer me an honour? I don't think myself as someone worthy of any honour."

"The final choice will be his, and I have no choice or influence on it. During the sweat tonight, keep an open mind during the ceremony and we will find out what path is offered to you, to me or to us" said Jared. I would like to give you a small gift on behalf of the creator. This will only be temporary until the sweat tonight when he determines our course in life."

"What do you mean Jared?" asked Liam.

Jared stood and looked at him. "Stay still and watch me. Please do not say anything or move. It won't hurt in any way." 

Liam nodded and looked at Jared deeply through his crystal clear blue eyes. Jared stepped back, closed his eyes and placed both of his hands on his heart and started to chant a prayer. Jared opened his eyes and they were a pure glowing light, the intensity Liam had never seen before. Jared looked up and reached up towards the sky with his palms facing the heavens while continuing to chant. Then, he stopped and brought his head down to look at Liam. He placed his hands on both side of Liam's head and began to chant again. It just lasted a few seconds, but Liam felt warmth from Jared's hands which spread through his entire body like a tidal wave. The feeling was of love, peace and tranquillity. He felt so good whatever Jared was doing to him. Jared then released him and stepped back.

"How do you feel?" asked Jared.

"I feel incredible, like I'm high but I'm not. I see you differently now Jared; you have colours around your body. I hear the world around me like I have never heard before, it's so noisy yet so clear. What happened to me?" asked Liam.

"You have this within you. It's been allowed to come to the surface so you are experiencing the gift of sight and hearing. Liam, you have old knowledge within you, but you must be trained how to use it one step at a time. You will see people's auras which reflect their inner truth, mood and attitude. It becomes part of you and you can control it by willing it on and off. The hearing you have been granted is the hearing of the spiritual world. You will hear the voices of the spirits around us. These are both gifts you had been given at birth, but hadn't found within yourself as of yet" said Jared. "It will take some getting used to, but I'm here to guide you. Using your skills, let's go find some rocks." Jared added.

Liam stood up and exclaimed "the rocks and everything here has auras. I hear something speaking to me" said Liam. He walked up the beach towards the shore bank and stopped. He leaned over and picked up a perfect rock for the fire tonight. 

Jared smiled at him and said "You need to thank Mother Earth for the rock and then we will make a pile on shore next to the boat."

They went on in silence except for their spoken thanks, and about an hour later they had 25 rocks piled up and in the bow of the boat. They were all good choices and all the perfect size for use. 

They each grabbed a bottle of water and sat on the beached log again. Both sat in silence as they finished their water.

Jared suddenly sat upright and looked towards the direction from they had come. Liam thought Jared had spaced out for a moment when he stood up with urgency and said "Liam, we have to go. Josh has been injured."

Recap from Chapter 5 

Jared suddenly sat upright and looked towards the direction from they had come. Liam thought Jared had spaced out for a moment when he stood up with urgency and said "Liam, we have to go. Josh has been injured." 

Chapter 6 

Jared come to the rescue 

Liam untied the boat while Jared started the engine. He turned it downstream and gunned the motor. They soon arrived at the mouth of the river and flew into the lake, heading for cabin. As they came around the final land point extending into the lake, they could see two of the guys running onto the dock. As they got closer they saw it was Darren and Tyler. Jared didn't even stop at the dock. One of the advantages of a jet boat was to be able to drive right up to the beach and step off on dry ground and he did this. 

As soon as he turned off the motor Jared yelled "what happened to Josh?" 

Darren spoke "he slipped on the gunnel of the ski boat and smashed his head on the dock. He's unresponsive. We carried him up to the cabin and put him on the floor in the living room. We were trying to figure out how to call 911 from out here in the bush when Josh opened his eyes for a moment and said 'Jared is coming.'" 

They all ran up to the cabin and Josh was lying flat on his back on the floor, not moving. His skin was cool, clammy and cyanotic. His breathing was regular, very shallow with the odd abdominal breath mixed in. His pupils were both dilated but were still in the sluggish range of reaction. The left side of his head over his ear was red and swollen with a trickle of blood coming out of the ear. 

Jared went to him and placed one hand over Josh's heart for a moment and then looked up at everyone. 

Jared fell to his knees and placed his right hand was gently on the top of Josh's head, and the left under the jaw. 

Jared then looked up to the ceiling and chanted. He brought his head back down and looked at Josh, his eyes glowing white light. Jared felt the energy building in his chest. It continued to build and filled him with warmth. 

The four men were kneeling next to Josh, waiting for a command or direction how to help Jared. What they saw was Jared's eyes glowing white has he reached and touched Josh's head with his hands. The men watched as the center of Jared's chest began to glow the same colour as his eyes. The glowing slowly expanded outward from his chest until Jared's entire body was a bright white light. The light seemed to stabilize for a moment until it could be seen moving from Jared into Josh through his hands. As it did, the colour began to rotate through a pattern of white, yellow, red and blackness. The colour rotation sped up as they spread throughout Josh's body until he was entirely covered in the glow. The rotating colours sped up faster and faster until only the only colour seen was white. The white glowing colour radiating from Josh grew in intensity until it was almost blinding when it suddenly began to drain out of Josh and back up through Jared's hands and arms into his chest. The glow began to dim until it disappeared entirely. 

Jared kept his hands on Josh's head for a moment longer and then said out loud "Creator of all, I thank you for your gift of healing my brother Josh. He will now continue on his path through life to serve your need." Jared dropped his hands and looked at the floor. 

Josh opened his eyes and looked up at everyone "what the hell happened?" he asked weakly. Josh looked at Jared and the men recalling something. "I remember hitting my head and the lights went out" he said. 

Darren kneeled next to his boyfriend. "I don't fully understand what the fuck happened here, but thank you Jared" he said. He turned his attention to the man lying on the floor. With tenderness, he took Josh's hands into his own. 

Darren spoke softly "Josh, you hit your head and you've been healed. Jared says that you're fine now but I think you'll need to rest for a bit." 

Jared spoke "You're right Darren, he needs some rest. Please, take him up to the bedroom and stay with him; he will be weak for a couple of hours." 

Darren had tears in his eyes and looked at Jared "I really don't understand Jared and I know you're trying to teach me, but whatever you did, thank you." He then looked up to the ceiling and said "I know the Creator did this. I don't understand how, but thank you for saving my boyfriend." 

Jared looked deep into Josh's eyes and said "I only need to ask you to do one thing Josh." 

"What's that Jared?" replied Josh 

"Will you quit getting hurt? This is becoming a habit" Jared answered with a smirk on his face. 

"I'll make a note of that request and make an honest effort not to be so accident prone" replied Josh with a smile. 

Darren didn't know what to believe, but he knew what he saw. He helped Josh up to his feet and led him upstairs to their bedroom. 

Jared then turned to Liam, Tyler and Troy and said "Would you guys get the rocks into the fire. We need the sweat tonight now more than ever. Tyler, grab the bundle out of the storage shed and layer the canvass over the sweat lodge with the buffalo skin over the top as the last layer. Darren and Josh are going to sleep for a couple of hours and I need to go meditate for a bit to recharge myself as well as casting off the negative energy of the injury." 

Jared hugged Liam, and left the cabin soon disappearing into the trees west of the cabin. Liam ran upstairs to check on Josh. He found Josh asleep and on his side facing Darren. Darren was staring at the sleeping Josh but he looked up and smiled when Liam came into the room. Liam went to the bedside and leaned over to look where he had seen the injury previously. The swelling and bruising were now entirely gone. The side of Josh's head was totally normal as if he had not hit his head on the gunnel, appearing like nothing had ever happened. He listened to Josh sleeping and noted the breathing was strong and regular. He reached out and gently lifted one of Josh's eye lids. The pupil contracted quickly as it was exposed to room light. Josh didn't react to Liam's touching his eyelid, indicating he was in a deep, almost trance like sleep. 

Liam smiled at Darren, and left to go help with the others. 

Downstairs, Tyler and Troy were waiting for his return. When Liam arrived, the three headed outside. Tyler and Liam headed to the boat to start unloading the rocks while Troy went to get a wheelbarrow to make it faster. Soon enough, the rock hauling had finished and they were all in the fire. The boys piled more wood on top of the fire and soon an inferno was underway. 

"Big enough fire to burn a witch" Tyler joked. 

"If we had that nurse from the ER desk the other night, I'd volunteer her for that honour" Troy said. 

"She's just pissed off at you because you're gay. She wanted you as a boyfriend" commented Tyler. 

"She likes men? I thought she was a tough assed lesbian" said Troy. 

"You think that of all the women who give your cute little ass a bad time" replied Tyler. Troy turned around, bent over, and started wiggling his muscular little ass at Tyler. 

Tyler reached forward and grabbed him by the hips, pulling his ass into contact with his groin. "Don't wiggle that at me to start something we don't have time to finish lover" said Tyler laughing. 

"Who says we don't have time?" asked Troy. Tyler gently pushed him away and then using his large hand; gave Troy a resounding smack on his ass. 

"Son-of-a-bitch" Troy yelped. He stood up, arched backwards grabbing his ass and began to jump up and down. 

"You trying to catch a fish with that little worm you have flopping around on your front?" asked Liam. 

He stopped bouncing, turned and gave them both a dirty look. "Fuck you both" he said. 

"Well, we could deal with him fucking us both couldn't we Liam?" said Tyler with a wink. 

"Yeah, I think that could happen" replied Liam. Troy stood and looked at them both with a shocked look on his face. The moment Troy dropped his guard; the two men lunged towards him. They grabbed him and started to tickle him without mercy. Troy fell to the ground, out of control in spasms of laughter. 

Troy made a series of sounds which probably meant "I give." The three men all sat there on the grass, catching their breath. 

"Assholes" mumbled Troy. 

They were quiet when Liam spoke up. "Guys, I don't really understand what happened in there with Josh. I've seen Jared use his powers a few times and he has started teaching me about the spirituality of the Creator. I seem to know it deep within me at some level but I don't understand it yet. Do you guys?" 

Tyler and Troy look at each other and then to Liam. "Your boyfriend is a very complex man. We are like brothers, but closer. You and Darren are first two who have been brought into our family since Jared brought us together. I don't know how much Jared has said about himself and I really don't know how much to say now. You are at a crossroad of your life path and it is not our role to point the direction" said Tyler. 

Tyler continued "I will tell you a bit about me though. I had been in the police force for 3 years, and the death and misery I had seen was getting to me. I wasn't dealing with it very well. I was a 3rd generation police officer after my father and grandfather and it wasn't easy. I had been outed as gay by another police officer and he made sure my family heard. They disowned me. It was a disgrace to them having gay son, especially one who was a cop. They had the attitude all gays are monsters and should not be in a job which allows them to take advantage of others. It really surprised me as they had never said anything negative about gays previous to the comments directed at me. Anyway, it was Christmas time and I was at an all-time low. Between the grisly scenes I had seen, my isolation from the family and the stigma of being gay in a manly man's occupation, depression was hitting me in full force. Actually, it was Christmas Eve day and I had made the decision to use my service weapon to end it at home after shift" said Tyler. 

Tyler paused and Troy reached over to massage his shoulders. 

Tyler continued "Before the end of my shift we were called to a fight outside a bar. A lot of businesses had closed early on Christmas Eve day letting their staff leave so the bars were packed. As we pulled up the ambulance was arriving. There were 5 guys fighting with one on the ground unconscious. Jared got out of the ambulance and rushed over to the guy on the ground. Two of the guys didn't like that idea and tried to take a swing at Jared. I hadn't got more than 2 steps forward to help him when I watched him defend himself, laying them both of them flat in seconds using martial arts. There was someone in the gathering crowd throw a beer bottle at the back of Jared's head. He just turned and grabbed it in mid-air, holding it up for all to see. I guess one of the combatants felt safe with Jared's back to him so he had run towards like he was going to tackle him. Jared tossed the beer bottle in the air, spun and grabbed the guy's shoulder in something like a Vulcan neck pinch and he crumpled to the ground, unmoving. Jared then turned back to the crowd and moved his right hand out to catch the beer bottle before it hit the ground." 

"I was close by then and I heard Jared say to the crowd "Violence is not acceptable. Take a Taxi and go home to sleep it off." I swear I felt his voice had a low vibration like being near a bulldozer driving by but everyone did exactly what he said. They all left in taxis. Jared worked on the patient and transported him to hospital. Before they drove away, he asked me to meet him at the hospital." 

"I drove down to the hospital" Tyler continued. "After he dropped of his patient, he pulled me outside and into the ambulance bay. Jared looked at me and said "Don't do it. It is not meant to be." I claimed I had no idea what he was talking about but he just said it again very calmly. We locked eyes and a feeling of despair built within me until it overflowed. I started to cry. He took me in his arms and after a couple of minutes, he patted my back, gave me his address and he told me to be there for supper at 900 pm. I went over and had a great homemade supper. We went to church that night and celebrated the midnight service. He took me back to his apartment and we talked long into the night. He put me to bed in the spare room and in the morning I talked more with him just listening. After breakfast, he introduced me to the smudging ceremony. Neither one of us had got dressed that morning so we were just wandering around in our underwear. During the ceremony, he put his hand over my heart and I felt warmth grow deep inside me. It was love, inner peace and for the lack of better words to describe it, contentment with life. Those feelings have never left me to this day. Jared told me things would work out on the Creator's schedule, not mine and I must put faith in myself and the Creator. We spent a lot of time together after that but it was never more than friends. His true friendship was something I had never had before or until I met the rest of you guys" 

Liam nodded his head in understanding. "He has that ability to make a person feel wanted." 

Troy then spoke up "My dad had been a paramedic and I wanted to follow in his footsteps so I went to school and started working. I was off duty and driving home to my apartment after another night of hanging around with my friends. I had not come out yet and was trying to keep up appearances of being straight or at least just one of the guys. As I was driving home, a drunk driver blew through a red light and T-boned the car on my side. The police, firefighters and other paramedics were working extra hard to get me out of the wreck but I was beginning to slip into unconsciousness. I was trapped in the vehicle and the last thing I heard was Jared telling everyone to step back while he worked on me. I woke up in the hospital room a few hours later and Jared was sitting there next to the bed reading quietly. When I stirred, he looked over at me and said "good morning." I asked what happened and he looked me in the eye and said "The Creator spared your life because of the work you do for others. You are doing his work and it will make a difference." I had no clue what he was talking about and just shrugged it off. He looked at me again and said "you'll be released tomorrow morning and I'll pick you up. We can have lunch and talk some more." 

"I'd seen Jared at the ambulance base and even talked with him. He wasn't a friend or anything other than saying hi to each other or even some small talk. Sure enough, he picked me up the next day and took me to his apartment to have lunch. We talked, ate and drank coffee into the evening. Jared said it was time and he took me into the smudging room. I really didn't know a lot about what he was talking about. He started to strip down to his underwear. When he was done, he told me I could wear my clothing or join him as he was dressed, it didn't matter. I undressed to my underwear as well. He conducted the ceremony for us. I felt the same warmth and inner feelings in my chest as Tyler described when he placed his hand over my heart" said Troy. 

"The death of my family had been eating me up inside and I was beginning to drink and self-medicate. I hadn't been drinking the night of the accident which was lucky for me. My family had died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty furnace in their home. I was supposed to stop for a visit but I got involved with my friends and forgot. I kept blaming myself with the feelings if I had gone, I could have found them and maybe saved them. Jared told me at the creator had healed an aortic tear and if it had not repaired, I would not have been freed from the wreckage alive. My ribs and arm were still tender, well, they hurt badly still. It was strange, but I believed what he said. After the ceremony, I had the same feeling as Tyler had said. I realized it wasn't my fault that my parents had died and I could have been killed as well if I had spent the night. We become very close and like Tyler. Jared actually introduced the two of us to each other and we have been together since. 

"Incredible" Liam commented. 

Tyler spoke up and said "we won't tell you the whole story, but Josh had been knifed twice in a domestic fight. The knife was a filet knife and went right through the body armour he was wearing. When Jared and Troy got there, I cleared out the kitchen for them to work. I saw Jared's eyes and the glow on his hands after he prayed." 

"This time, Troy and I brought Josh over to Jared's after his being released from the hospital a couple of days later. We all talked and then smudged, introducing Josh to the ceremony. Josh was not a nice person before he had been knifed. He was really a great cop, but an absolute asshole. Well, maybe he hasn't changed much" reflected Tyler with a smirk. 

Troy slapped him on the back of the head. "Ok, he has changed" Tyler said. 

Troy jumped in and continued the story. "Josh seemed to target the LGBT community for his enforcement. He made a lot of clean busts, never setting anyone up or falsifying evidence but he seemed to step around other busts he could have made to target the LGBT community. Turns out he had been in foster care as a teenager after his dad killed his mom in a drunken fight. He was raped by one of the older kids in the foster home repeatedly. Josh had a real inner struggle about the rapes and guilt of feeling enjoyment as the rapes went on. He was also blaming the older kid for turning him gay. He had so much anger in him and he fought with those inner feelings until he met us as a group. He finally felt safe and with us supporting him, he got his life together and came out. He became a better cop, a good person, and a member of our family from that day forward." 

Tyler spoke up "He did file a complaint against the rapist with Jared's help. The investigators eventually filed charges for the rapes. The foster family never did believe it really happened and they hated Josh and made it known all through the trial. With the press covering the story, two other victims came forward. He was convicted and ended up on suicide watch in the prison. In spite of them watching, he succeeded anyways. Before he hung himself, he had written letters to Josh and his parents, confessing everything as well as begging to be forgiven for his actions." 

Liam sat a thought for a minute. "I don't know what to say. My story isn't like yours. He helped me, but nothing like you guys. He is my work partner and I was feeling bad one day." 

Liam paused speaking. "No, I have to tell you the truth. My family had been killed when they were coming to visit me at college. I had been blaming myself for killing them and one day a patient died on me and I cracked. We did the first smudging ceremony as you guys did." Liam gave them a crooked smirk. "But we made love later, my first time." 




Paramedic Pt. 06



The two boys hooted and hollered, slapping Liam on the back. 

Troy spoke up quickly "the reason you're here is because of his love for you, and yours for him. Something we all could see the first time we met you. You two seem to have the most incredible auras when you are together. Liam, we had all watched your ass from time to time, but it wasn't meant to be with anyone but Jared." 

Tyler acted huffy and in the best lisp looked at Troy. "You were looking at his ass you slut!" He regained his composure "Well, I have to admit, I was looking at it too. Liam, you have a nice ass in your tight uniform pants, it is better when you wear your loin cloth and real hot when you wiggle it while playing volleyball naked." 

Troy slapped Tyler's shoulder and said "who the slut now?" 

Liam was laughing by now and looking at his new friends. "Your asses aren't bad either guys" 

Troy and Tyler looked at each other and then as if choreographed, put their hands on their hips and said at the same time "you slut!" and then started to laugh. 

"We have all noticed you finally got Jared to get rid of those horribly worn out old ratty boxers he used to wear all the time. The bikini briefs he wears now are much better! Good taste Liam" Troy exclaimed. 

Liam acknowledged them. "Thank you. It was a fight but I badgered him until he caved in." 

"We did laugh when Jared told us the story of how he was outed by Pierre at the restaurant and Jared not knowing you spoke French fluently" said Tyler. "I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard." 

"OK, enough of laughing at Liam and talking about his perfectly formed, well-muscled tight little ass. Let's get some more wood on the fire. Troy, would you make a light lunch while we get the lodge ready? I know we are supposed to fast before a sweat but I think we need some light food after the healing session earlier" asked Tyler. 

"Yes, no problem. I will come down to give you a hand after it is ready" he replied. 

Jared had wandered through the forest and along a trail until he came to a clearing. In the clearing was the stump of large spruce tree. Jared moved to it and sat down cross legged. He held his arms out, palms up. 

"Mother Earth, I am here in your bosom after doing the Creator's work. I need your help to release the evil energy and fill myself with light to continue the work" prayed Jared. 

Jared began to chant to the sky. He continued to chant while he brought his hands down and placed them palms down in the ground. His eyes lit up bright white. The ground around the tree stump began to glow a rich yellow. The yellow colour slowly moved from the ground through the tree stump until it covered Jared's entire body. It began to glow brighter and brighter. Jared's eyes had been glowing white but began changing yellow. After three minutes, the yellow light began to shimmer and change into red. The red remained for 3 minutes before turning black for another 3 minutes. The black slowly faded into white light for the last 3 minutes. The colour slowly began to retreat off Jared and back into the stump. The tree stump grew with the intensity of the colour. Like a torpedo being fired from a submarine, a ball of white light shot into the northern sky and disappeared out of sight. This was followed by a ball of yellow light to the east, a ball of red light to the south and finally a ball of black energy to the west. Jared continued to sit crossed legged and began to chant slowly thanking each of the directions of the medicine wheel for their strength and assistance. He continued to chant for the next 30 minutes. 

Tyler motioned for Liam to follow him into the forest behind the lodge skeleton. He pointed at some cedar trees growing and said "let's cut a couple of the lowest branches from each of the tree. The cedar is powerful medicine in a sweat and it is placed on the ground where we sit. It keeps us safe from the evil ones." They cut an armful of cedar each and took them the lodge. 

Liam cleaned out the old rocks from the ring within the lodge and carefully placed them into the wheelbarrow. He moved the wheelbarrow and set it down near the boat on the beach. 

Tyler watched with interest and asked "Why are you doing that Liam?" 

"The rocks spoke to me and told me we needed to return them to the river bed. They are just on loan to us for the ceremony" replied Liam. He thought deep for a moment and then said "Tyler, I am not sure where this came from or why I know it but the rock spirits are good for us, they represent the traditional ways, truth and justice and are called Grandfather. When heated and water poured on them in the sweat lodge their cleansing spirit is released into the lodge." 

Tyler looked shocked. "I think the old knowledge within you just poked its head up again Liam." 

They spread the cedar out on the ground and Liam asked about sage being collected and added to the cedar. Tyler looked surprised again and motioned for him to follow him up the trail. They arrived at the same spot where Jared and Liam had made love the night before. Along the edges of the trail and into the open areas, sage grew wild. The only place it did not grow was where they had spent the night. 

"You have been here already Liam, haven't you?" asked Tyler. 

"Yes, Jared and I slept under the stars last night, and we ...made...love... here too" he said slowly with embarrassment. 

"This is a sacred place and a good place for people. I hope you two enjoyed yourselves. No worries about talking about sex with any of us. We are monogamous with our boyfriends but we do like to talk about sex and drool at really good looking men though" he said as he laughed. 

Liam looked up and smiled at Tyler. "I don't mind looking at you guys naked either" he said as he started to blush. 

They gathered some sage and took it to the lodge and spread it on the ground as well. The two of them went to the storage shed and retrieved the bundle of canvass and the buffalo hide. Once they were all in place, they used a few rocks along the outside to hold everything down in case a wind came up. 

Troy showed up just as they finished. Tyler pulled him into his arms and said "I missed you." They kissed gently. The three of them went to check on the rock fire to add some wood and then up to the cabin where they grabbed a bottle of water and headed back on the dock. It was mid-afternoon now and the heat felt good on their bodies. They pulled up the large chair which resembled a couch and sat down, watching at the waves on the lake. Before they knew it, they were all asleep, leaning onto Tyler's shoulders who was sitting in the center. They dozed until they were woken up by Jared, Darren and Josh standing in front of them. 

Josh asked "did you guys sleep the afternoon away or what?" The three got up and hugged him. Jared and Darren joined the hug as well. They were all relieved their family was still intact. 

"Gentlemen and I use that term loosely considering who I am speaking too..." started Jared, but was met with 10 upright single fingers being held towards him. "Ok, I can take a hint. Ladies..." continued Jared. He only got that word out when the five men grabbed him, carried him to the end of dock and threw him into the water. 

Jared climbed out on the end of the dock "you have been bad boys, no snacks and straight to your rooms!" 

They threw him in again. 

Jared climbed out again and stood on the end of the dock. "Snack time you assholes" he said laughing. The group cheered and they all went up to the cabin, grabbed a plateful of lunch and sat on the deck to eat. 

"How are you feeling Josh?" asked Liam. 

"I feel fine Liam. I feel normal is the best way to say, like nothing happened" he replied. 

"You were difficult to heal Josh. You had severe bleeding going on - subdural hematoma. It needed to be repaired to prevent further bleeding and the complications of increased cranial pressure." 

Jared looked around the table and saw Darren looked a bit confused. Jared looked at Troy and said "Can you explain what the medical stuff we were just talking about was to the hose puller. Make sure you use small words though." 

Everyone laughed but Darren; He raised his right hand with his fingers and thumb sticking up straight, his thumb touching the tips of all his fingers. "Do you know what this is Jared" he asked. 

"No clue" Jared replied. 

Darren then repositioned his fingers had all moved into a fist with the middle finger alone still sticking up. "It's a whole bouquet of these" he said chuckling. 

"That's one for the hose puller!" Liam said laughing. 

"Fuck you too little one. Jared, you are having a bad influence on him. He's getting mouthy" Darren said. 

Everyone laughed. 

Jared then looked serious and then spoke. "It is getting closer to sweat time. I need to speak with Liam. Darren, I just remembered you actually missed them last year because of you schedule didn't you?" 

"Yes, I was upset about it too" he replied. 

"I need you with Liam as well then and it may answer at least some of your questions. Can the rest of you clean up lunch and check the fire to make sure it is still hot" asked Jared. 

Troy spoke up "Will we have time for a volleyball game? Tyler and I like watching Liam's tight little ass wiggle." Liam stood up and wiggled his ass at them. 

Troy came and gave it a smack with his hand. "It feels even better Tyler!" 

Josh came to the rescue and said "we better get out of here before Jared turns us into newts." 

"He turned me into a newt" said Tyler. The guys were looking at him when he continued "I got better." 

Darren spoke up "That's it. I didn't come all the way in the bush to hear you three recite Monty Python sketches. Josh, I am hiding those DVD's when we get back." 

Tyler spoke up "Jared you better talk to Liam about what happened when we were working on the lodge this afternoon. Some of his knowledge popped up while we were fixing up the sweat lodge. He knew about the rocks." 

Jared looked at Liam and smiled. "We'll definitely talk about that. Thanks Tyler." 

The others got up and set about their tasks. 

"Liam, you have some knowledge about what this about already from some of the things we have talked about." He nodded his head in agreement. "Darren, you are aware of some things, but you have not been exposed to as much as the rest. I know what I did this afternoon surprised you Darren" Jared said. 

"To put it mildly" he replied. "I know you are a special person and possess things as Josh describes as gifts from the Creator." 

"He is right. My Spirit Guide or Totem is the bear, a healer. I come from a long line of First Nations healers and the Creator channels his will through me. It is something big for you understand I know Darren. But it will become clearer tonight." 

"Darren, people sometimes have events called visions. At night they may be viewed as dream, or even termed day dreaming if the person is awake. They are the way the Creator or his messengers speak to some people. Liam, would you describe your vision to Darren please" asked Jared. Liam did so and Darren listened attentively. When Liam finished, Darren looked at him with shock all over his face. 

"I never told anyone, not even Josh, I thought it was just a weird dream a couple of nights ago. I saw the same thing in a dream or vision" said Darren. 

Jared looked at both of them. "I know. Everyone here had the same vision at the same time that night but it is something they didn't talk to you two about it because of how new you are to this. Let's look at the vision and what we believe it means. 

"Liam, do you recognise the location of your vision?" he asked. 

Liam thought for a minute and then his eye flew open. "It was where we picked up the rocks for the fire earlier today." 

"Yes it was Liam. It is a sacred and a powerful area." They discussed the vision and its possible meaning for about 20 minutes. They were not able to resolve the exact meaning of the bald eagle and wolves based on what they saw or know. Jared knew, but he wanted it to be revealed properly during the sweat. 

"Normally, spirit guides only reveal themselves during a vision quest. I have my suspicions this may not be the case tonight. We all had some strong visions, including me. One common theme between them all is they end when we all go into the lodge. This could mean the paths out of the lodge have not been chosen for us or the Creator has chosen not to reveal them to us until we are in the lodge." 

Jared continued "The Sweat Lodge is a place of spiritual refuge and mental and physical healing, a place to get answers and guidance by asking spirits, totem helpers, the Creator and Mother Earth for the needed wisdom and power. The four directions and sacred colours each bring their strengths to us as well. It is a very special place for us and it is even made more powerful because of the bond the 6 of us share as brothers." 

Darren and Liam were spellbound listening to every word Jared said. Jared went on to explain the traditional ceremony and the way it would be done tonight. They did not have a gate keeper to bring the rocks but he would have Liam do it when the times were right. They were to remove all ear rings, necklaces, watches and such things. Nothing is to be on the body except the breech cloth as it was allowed by being a deer hide from Mother Nature or be naked as either was acceptable. 

Jared asked about the rocks. Liam explained what he had suddenly known in his mind. 

Jared looked at him and said "Grandfather was right. You do have the ancient knowledge." 

The three of them spent about almost 1 ½ hours talking with Jared answering many questions. When they were done, they searched out the others and played volleyball for an hour. 

Jared looked at the sun, it was about 5pm now and while still very warm, it was setting. "It is time" he said to the others. Jared went to cabin with everyone and into the kitchen. Troy grabbed the cooler and Tyler helped them fill it full of ice and water bottles. Josh was getting a large bucket out of a cupboard and Jared was grabbing a hide bundle wrapped with leather laces. It was obvious to Darren and Liam they had all done this many times. Jared opened the bundle and checked the contents. Liam saw a large pipe and several birch bark wrapped bundles with a leather lace tying each of them. There was a large smudging bundle and an eagle's feather. The final item was a box of wooden matches. Jared seemed happy everything was in order and rolled it up and tied it closed. 

The men all left the cabin and walked to the fire pit. The wood had burnt down once again with the rocks now glowing bright red. A couple had shattered but that wasn't too bad. You don't want to be near the fire pit when one of those rocks blows because of the potential for flying embers or rock chips hitting you. The rocks must have had water in them somehow and when it heated to steam it blows them apart. It usually sounds like a civil war cannon firing when they blow. 

Someone had set up Jared's alter table next to the lodge. He placed his leather bag onto it carefully and then went into the lodge for a last minute check. The men had done a good job and everything was ready. Jared grabbed the wooden bucket from the corner and brought it out. 

"Darren, would you please fill this and return it back inside the door of the lodge" asked Jared indicating the wooden bucket. "Please make sure the wooden ladle is in it as well." 

He ran to the dock to get clear water and filled the bucket, returning quickly and placing it as instructed, with the ladle in it. 

"Gentlemen are we ready?" asked Liam. 

They all looked like kids inside a candy store as they answered a resounding 'yes'.

Recap from Chapter 6

The men all left the cabin and walked to the fire pit. The wood had burnt down once again with the rocks now glowing bright red. A couple had shattered but that wasn't too bad. You don't want to be near the fire pit when one of those rocks blows because of the potential for flying embers or rock chips hitting you. The rocks must have had water in them somehow, and it heats to steam to blow them apart. It usually sounds similar to a civil war cannon firing when they blow in the fire.

Someone had set up Jared's alter table next to the lodge. He placed his leather bag onto it carefully and then went into the lodge for a last minute check. The men had done a good job and everything was ready. Jared grabbed the wooden bucket from the corner and brought it out.

"Darren, would you please fill this and return it back inside the door of the lodge" asked Jared indicating the wooden bucket. "Please make sure the wooden ladle is in it as well."

Darren ran to the dock to get clear water and filled the bucket, returning quickly and placing it as instructed, with the ladle in it.

"Gentlemen are we ready?" asked Liam.

They all looked like kids inside a candy store as they answered a resounding "'yes."

Chapter 7

The Transformations within the Sweat

"Darren, you and Liam must understand if you feel you must leave to feel free to do so at any time. Before you get up, for convenience we will use an English phrase which you say before you leave. 'Exit please' will work this time, does everyone understand?" Jared asked. They all nodded their heads.

Jared continued. "If anyone feels ill or needs help, please speak out immediately and we will do anything we can to help. The sanctity of human life is first over continuing the sweat ceremony."

Jared looked at every one at a time before continuing. "The order in which we will enter the lodge is Liam, Tyler, Troy, Darren, Josh and then me. I will smudge each one of you before you go to the entrance. At the entrance before we go in, each of us must bow as a sign of respect for the Creator and Mother Earth. Then move inside in a clockwise ring around the rock pit inside and can sit down you find your spot.

"Although there is much tradition surrounding the sweat lodge, there are also differences in the ceremony. We have 2 new brothers here tonight so I ask for patience from us all and the Creator while they learn the ways we use here" said Jared.

"This the last call for a drink of water or taking a piss before we go in! Liam, Darren, I would suggest the two of you guzzle a bottle of water before you go in. We can't take the bottle in with us" finished Jared.

The men all grabbed a bottle of water and drank it down, and then Troy and Liam ran over to piss into the bushes. Jared walked to the alter in front of the sweat lodge, spreading the contents of his smudging bundle out for use.

"Ready?" asked Jared of everyone.

"Ready!" they all replied. Jared motioned them forward. None of the men were wearing their loin cloths and it was obvious the excitement of the ceremony was causing all of them to be in a semi-hard condition. It looked sexy having them standing in front of Jared in a line, every one of them with their dick extended and at 45 degrees.

Jared lit the bundle and smudged each one of them as they approached and as they were completed, he nodded to them and they went to the lodge, bowed and went in. Jared smudged himself and then snubbed the bundle out and placed it in the bowl. He bowed before entering and took his place. He had brought the pipe with him, placing it on his leg. He opened one of the birch bark bundles containing tobacco which he packed into the pipe with expertise. He lit the pipe and puffed on it. He then chanted out loud for a moment and stopped, handing the pipe to Liam.

"The tobacco is sacred. Liam, you may have to light it again but take a couple of puffs into you and then say out loud a prayer or tell us why you are here this evening" explained Jared.

Liam took the pipe, his hands shaking. He lit a match, put the pipe in his mouth and puffed on it a couple of times. Holding the pipe in both hands, he suddenly raised it up towards the roof of the lodge.

Jared noted this with interest and thought to himself "Liam's memories are coming closer and closer to the surface."

Liam then spoke "Creator, I am new to this. You have already healed me and I am learning to be your servant. I wish to learn the knowledge and your ways to serve you better. I am here with Jared, the first person who I have truly loved and four other men who I am learning to love as brothers. I ask for your blessings to be placed upon them in their lives" Liam finished. He then handed the pipe and matches to Tyler.

Tyler smoked the pipe and then did the same as Liam had done with raising it towards the roof and back down. "Creator, I am here with my brother's new and old, and my true love Troy. I am your servant but I ask you grant me the vision to become a better man while doing your work, doing my job, loving my brothers, loving Troy and loving myself.' He handed the pipe to Troy.

After smoking the pipe, Troy spoke. "Creator, I too ask for granting me the wisdom to be a better man in my daily life and how to serve you better. I wish to thank you for your gift of love to mankind which I can share with my brothers, my boyfriend Tyler, as well as those who I come into contact with doing your work." He handed the pipe to Darren.

Darren's hands were shaking so much he couldn't light the pipe. Both Josh and Troy leaned in to help him by steadying his hands and touching his shoulder to reassure him. Darren settled down and smoked it. "Creator, I must be honest with you. I am very new to this and feel very nervous to make a mistake to get you mad at me. You saved my life and I thank you for that. What I thank you for even more is the way you saved my boyfriend Josh's life when he hit his head. I am praying I am good enough to do your work." Darren breathed out a sigh and relaxed. He handed the pipe to Josh.

Josh smoked it and then said "Creator, I thank you for your blessings on our family sitting here under you this evening. I know every one of them; including me have been blessed with your interventions so we may continue life. You have spared me twice and I pledge to you once again to be your servant. I ask you to bless our family and allow us a group to act as a conduit for your knowledge and gifts in your service." Josh handed the pipe back to Jared who smoked the last of the tobacco and then placed the pipe in front of him on a special holder. The pipe was in position next to a talking stick which may be used later on.

Jared looked at each man individually and nodded his head. He turned to Liam and said "come with me, and I'll show you how to get the rocks."

They both crawled out and went to the fire. Jared showed him how to use the shovel to get a rock and carry it to the lodge and to place it in the ring.

"If you drop one, move it to the side of the fire and get another one. We need about 5 each time we sweat." Jared watched him retrieve and place the rest of the rocks in the lodge. He indicated to Liam where to put the shovel and to throw a couple more pieces of wood onto the fire. They both returned to the lodge. Jared pulled the flaps closed.

Jared lifted the talking stick and shook the rice inside. "This is a talking stick and we may use it tonight during our sweat. Whoever has it in their hand speaks, and no one else does unless you are feeling ill or need to leave."

The inside of the lodge glowed from the red hot stones. Jared reached and pulled the ladle out of the bucket full, pouring it on the rock representing the west, repeating the procedure for the rocks representing the north, east and south. He poured 2 more ladles full on the rock in the centre representing the grandfather. The lodge filled with steam rapidly and completely.

Jared spoke aloud, but could barely see the others in the lodge. "I will chant prayers. The first round of the four we will complete is for the west. Each session of sweating represents each of the four directions and focuses on the different spiritual qualities brought by each."

As if Liam was in a trance, he spoke out "The west or season of fall is represented by the colour black. We are to look into ourselves deeply for the things we need to change as the sun is setting. There are two totems for the west; the beaver which works as a team to achieve their goals and the snake which sheds its skin to remind us we must do the same as we change to new ways."

Although the men we getting used to Liam and his almost prophetic information, it continued to surprise them when he spoke to share his knowledge. Jared just smiled and nodded at Liam.

Jared began to chant and pray. The men in the lodge felt the wet heat of the steam and the dry heat from the rocks, and were sweating profusely. It felt good to them as the sweat poured down their bodies and into the ground. Jared poured more water on the rocks and the steam returned, filling the lodge like it had the first time. He continued to chant and pray.

Suddenly, the lodge shook violently. The sides and top of the lodge were moving back and forth in no particular pattern. Suddenly, the men all had a vision of a wolf jumping through the lodge wall and sitting in front of Darren. Darren was actually startled and started to move backwards from his spot being unable to comprehend the line between reality and his vision. Josh and Troy felt him jump and gently put their hands on each of his knees in reassurance. Darren settled down quickly. Jared poured more water on the rocks to increase the steam.

The entire group heard the scream of a bald eagle from somewhere above the lodge. It screamed a couple more times and it swooped right through the lodge wall, landing on Liam's shoulder. Liam screamed out in shock and moved toward Jared for protection. Jared's hands touched Liam's knee providing reassurance.

Jared began to chant again and as the chant was beginning to become familiar to the men, they joined in with him.

Jared stopped the chant. He raised his hands up into the air, palms up and said "Creator, you honour us by sending spirit guides for the men of our family who had yet received them. You brought a powerful guide to both of them, and it is my honour to introduce them to their guides."

"Darren, your guide is the wolf because of your intelligence and your ability to act upon your instincts in a variety of situations and it explains why you are good as a firefighter. You are not afraid to act or express on those instincts in the service of your brothers, your family, your community or the Creator. Troy, Tyler and Josh also have wolf spirit guides and there is strength in a pack, especially when you lack trust in yourself. In a pack, you all stand together and help a weaker member during this period of self-doubt. You have a powerful totem Darren."

The steam was dissipating enough to see Darren's face. There were tears sliding down his face as his eyes were locked onto the eyes of the wolf in front of him. The wolf leaned forward and licked Darren's face with his long wet tongue. The wolf stood and jumped through the wall between Josh and Darren, causing them to reflexively move out of the way.

Jared then spoke to Liam. "You have been chosen by the eagle, also a very powerful totem in different ways than the wolf. This totem will assist you as you learn your role to work in both the spiritual realm and our world. Your clear vision of life and objectives complements your abilities to be successful in whatever you try to do. Your abilities complement those of the bear, the healer. Our relationship will allow those two totems to work together, blending our strengths and become stronger together."

The eagle turned his head and screamed at Liam. He then dug his talons into Liam's right shoulder. Liam jumped and automatically reached for his shoulder. By the time his hand grabbed his shoulder, the eagle had jumped over to Jared's shoulder. Once again he dug his talons into Jared's shoulder except Jared didn't move. The eagle screamed and flew out through the wall.

Jared chanted a new prayer for a moment, and then said to everyone "the first round has ended. We may go outside and jump into the lake to rinse the sweat off and drink some water."

He opened the door and led everyone outside. The six men ran for the lake and they dove in. The chatter between them was very animated, talking about their vision. They were so full of energy in the water. It was then Liam noticed red marks like a minor skin abrasion from the eagle's talon on his right shoulder.

"Jared, look at my shoulder. I saw his talons pierce both of our shoulders but there are no injuries other than a slight redness" stated Liam.

Jared looked at Liam's shoulder and his own while the rest of the guys gathered around them. "You felt the pain of the eagle as it bonded with you, and then I felt it when it bonded with me."

"It was a vision, not real. But I know what I felt" stated Liam.

"Liam, you have a very strong totem. It marked your right shoulder and my left shoulder in our visions. Have you ever noticed how we stand together; it's always with your right side and my left side together. He approves of us and marked us so no one else will get between us. He has marked his people to show all who our guide is. We will see the scars from his marks only when we are in the spiritual world."

Darren spoke up "I know when that wolf licked my face it felt as real as if it had been done by a regular dog. I felt the wetness and roughness of his tongue as he dragged it up my face."

"Wow" said Josh.

Josh spoke up "How long were we in there? It didn't seem to be very long."

"Looking at the position of the sun, the width of the clouds, the shadows from the trees, the frequency and pitch of the waves on the lake as well as my watch hanging on the tree outside the lodge, 45 minutes" Jared replied.

The boys all started laughing when Darren said "Dammit! You had me going until you said watch."

Jared then spoke "Get some water into you guys; we will be doing the second round in a few minutes."

They all drank 2 bottles of water each and then looked at Jared for direction. Jared motioned for them to resume their ceremony.

The second round was completed and it had an emphasis on courage, endurance and honesty calling upon the north power. The third round calling upon the power of the east for wisdom was completed as well.

After the guys consumed more water after the third round, Jared called them together. "This is the final round of the ceremony. I will be honest with you and after the unexpected visitors in the first round, I am not sure what to expect in this round. Remember where you are and we are family, here to support each other." Jared held his hand out and every one placed their hand on top.

The men were all in position and the last set of hot rocks were glowing in front of them. Jared started to pour water on them and they sizzled loudly in response. Jared started to chant and the rest joined in.

Jared spoke "this is the round for the south. The power of the south is in spiritualism and healing. We need use all the qualities we have gained from the west, the north and the east for us to grow as a person and to mature in the way we see and deal with things. This leads into the healing of the heart and spirit."

Jared poured more water onto the rocks and started chanting. The men joined in, repeating the verses over and over. Jared poured more water onto the rocks. The heat in the lodge was the highest it had been so far. No one could see each other this time through the steam but they could hear the chanting. Soon, Jared was chanting alone. The steam had dissipated enough now to see each of the men in the lodge as they were staring into the rocks. Jared also looked into the rocks and concentrated to increase the strength of his spiritual vision. Immediately he saw Liam talking with his parents. Tyler was talking with his grandparents while Troy was talking with his dad. Darren was talking with a man about the same age but possibly a little younger and dressed in combat fatigues. Jared then sensed it was his brother. He made a note to himself to talk with Darren about this.

Jared poured more water onto the rocks and the steam rose once again. In his mind, Jared heard the conversations going on in the lodge and how they were coming to an end. Jared could feel the physiological and emotional relief in every one of the other men in the lodge as they released their deepest fears and secrets which had been bottled up and pushed down inside each one of them. The feeling of purity in their heart and spirit was filling the lodge. Finally, all the conversations had finished.

Jared was going to end the session but he was forced by an invisible hand to reach out, adding more water on the rocks. The lodge shook violently he could see the others looking around the inside. Suddenly, Jared's grandfather was standing in front of him.

"Grandfather, you honour me by your presence."

"Jared, I am at home in meditation and smudging when I had a vision of your ceremony. I have entered my vision to visit with you. Jared, you have learned well son and I need to tell you the Great Buffalo came to me with a message for you" Grandfather said.

Jared looked quickly around the lodge and realized everyone was seeing the vision as well and they were all staring at him.

"I thank you Grandfather for your praise but my actions were the result of your teaching, and you did that well" replied Jared.

"Jared, the great buffalo has bestowed a great honour upon you. He is allowing you to be called Sacred Medicine Man of the people. With that responsibility and honour, you will receive more gifts from him to use on his behalf. They'll be given to you as the needs arise and when they can be used" Grandfather said.

"I am humbled by these gifts, but I do not believe myself worthy of the honour" stated Jared.

Grandfather turned and asked all of the men present "Is he worthy?"

All of the men replied "yes" in a chant.

"It's settled Jared. The Creator has spoken as have your friends" said Grandfather.

Jared had tears in eyes looking at the vision of his grandfather in front of him. Everyone in the lodge could feel the love flowing between Jared and his Grandfather.

His Grandfather spoke "Jared. Come home soon for a visit, and bring the new boyfriend. I want to meet the man who has the ancient knowledge and who you have exchanged hearts with. Jared, you and Liam will become very powerful together as you grow with your knowledge. I also wish you would bring the men of your tribe or family as you call them to me for a visit. It is time they did their spiritual quest on our sacred lands with their spirit guides. We can feast and sweat together after as family."




Paramedic Pt. 07



"Thank you Grandfather. May the peace of the Creator be with you in your life and journeys" said Jared.

As the vision of his Grandfather faded, he said "I love you Jared" before disappearing entirely.

Jared then looked around the lodge and said "let us give thanks in silence for what we have gained during this ceremony."

There wasn't a sound in the tent for 2 minutes. Jared then declared the door open and last one in the lake is a rotten egg.

The men had rinsed themselves off and drank the last of the bottled water. They had consumed 48 bottles of water between them since the sweat started.

Jared was standing alone, deep in thought standing near the fire and staring into it. The rest of the men came to him and hugged him.

They had all stood together for a moment when Josh asked "Is anyone beside me hungry?"

"Josh, you are always hungry" said Darren. A loud smack of an ass cheek was heard and Darren yelping. "Josh, you are going to get such a spanking........" he yelled.

"That one wasn't me" Josh pleaded. Troy broke from the group and ran for the cabin. As Darren was watching him, his ass was slapped 3 more times by people running by him and up to the cabin. Jared suddenly stopped running and turned around, heading back to the sweat lodge to gather his sacred objects. With them in hand, he ran to the cabin.

"Hey guys, get the BBQ lit, I have more steaks in the fridge and there is lots of salads and bread. There's also potato's in the oven and they should be ready. I did it this afternoon after my meditation was completed" said Jared.

"Jared, you weren't kidding when you said your Grandfather contacted you in visions. Is your plan cheaper than my damn cell phone?" asked Liam

Jared smiled and pulled Liam into a hug, then smacked the back of his head playfully. "I can't believe you asked that" laughed Jared.

The men got the steaks cooked, the food spread out and they attacked it with the appetites only equated to hyenas attacking a wounded zebra. They made short order of all the food, leaving only a pile of debris on the table. They were all sitting around the table on the deck silent, but very content.

Darren let out a belch which was of such quality it resonated through the table. Josh leaned over and slapped the back of his head.

There was another belch heard, this time from Tyler.

"Amateurs" said Troy and proceeded to let out a belch of such volume and duration one would have thought it was not humanly possible. The men applauded.

Jared looked at them all and then let go a sound which sounded like trumpet, except it wasn't a belch. He sat there with a very satisfied smirk on his face.

Liam put his hand over his mouth "Oh my god Jared, that's terrible." He promptly let go his own fart.

Josh stood up and looked at his friends "is this a re-enactment of the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles?" He then stuck his ass out a bit and joined in with his own contribution.

"Good god. No more beans for you guys" Tyler said waving his hands in front of his face. They all started laughing uncontrollably.

Liam stood and gathered up some debris "I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to clean up and its bed time for me." Everyone stood and joined in the cleaning. It didn't take long, and soon they realized they were all worn out from the activities throughout the day, but especially after the sweat. The men all soon headed off for bed with their boyfriends.

Josh and Darren were lying in bed together, Darren spooning his boyfriend from behind.

"Josh, I thought I had lost you this afternoon" Darren said quietly.

Josh turned his head towards Darren and spoke "It wasn't my time and Jared won't let it happen before my time Darren."

"I'm beginning to understand what people mean when they say that Josh. I've learned so much about life tonight Josh. I'm beginning to realize there's a higher entity and he does care about us. I don't know how to describe it except I didn't think something like guardian angels existed until today Josh. Is Jared an angel and Liam learning to be one?" said Darren.

Josh rolled over and faced Darren. "No. Although it's easy to understand why you'd think they were. They are as they say, just men who are the conduits for the Creator's will and powers. You've begun to learn Darren, but there's so much more to this and it'll take time. Open your mind and heart, and it'll help you to comprehend."

"I will Josh." Darren looked into Josh's eyes and smiled. "Falling asleep with you being the last l thing I see before I close my eyes is perfect Josh."

Josh tenderly kissed Darren, and they both fell asleep, holding each other.

The men all got up at different times in the morning. By mid-morning, they all found themselves sitting in pairs on the deck, picking at the remnants of their breakfast.

"What's up for today?" asked Troy.

There was a long pause and Jared said "Not much, a day to relax by waterskiing, fishing, swimming or laying in the sun. I want to cut some wood and bring it in to make sure there is enough for the fire pit and the house."

"I'd like to help" said Tyler. "It's a good workout." The rest volunteered as well

The group cleaned up the breakfast mess, and at Jared's insistence they all got into clothing for cutting wood. Jared led them past their parked vehicles and into a large Quonset behind the treeline. Inside was large pickup up truck and all the equipment they would need to get wood. The Quonset was garage height but long enough to park 8 vehicles. In the back was a work shop area with chainsaws and safety equipment.

"Hey hose puller, do you know how to run one of these?" asked Jared.

"Yes, of course. I love running a saw" he replied.

"Grab that one" Jared said pointing "and the chaps, helmet and muffs are over there" as he pointed another direction.

The men checked the equipment out and loaded it into the back of the truck.

Josh asked if he and Troy could use the quads and Jared nodded his head. They grabbed helmets and started them to make sure they ran. The rest of the guys got into the truck and Jared backed it out. He headed down the laneway and turned onto a cutline leading into another part of the forest. After a few minutes, they arrived at an area which looked like the trees had been snapped off by the hand of God pushing them down.

"What caused this?" asked Liam, amazed at the destruction.

"It was a plough wind. This happened a few years ago. Before you ask Liam, a plow wind is the result of a strong storm front and a very strong wind being formed within it. Instead of a tornado, the plough wind is straight, and impacts with the ground at an angle. Look at the trees over there and do you see how they are broken off high? You see how they are broken off or pushed over lower and lower until the ones at ground level were hit. If you were to draw a line from the ground up to where the trees first show damage, this one hit the earth at about a 30 degree angle."

"Are they common?" asked Liam

"They seem to be getting more common" Jared replied. "I like to get my firewood from this area. It has been drying in the sun for a few years now and the wood has dried quite well."

Soon the sounds of chainsaw were heard as Jared and Darren began limb the trees and buck it into stove cord length. The others were piling the wood into the back of the truck. When the truck was full, Troy and Liam drove the truck back to the cabin and threw it out near the Quonset next to the splitter.

The men had made 6 loads of wood when Jared said "Enough guys. I think we have enough stored for a few sweat ceremonies and use in the house. Over the summer, I hope we can get some more and get everything split and stacked as well."

They headed back to the Quonset and stored the gear away after unloading the last load. They headed back to the cabin and lunch.

After lunch, Tyler, Darren and Josh wanted to split some of the wood to get a better work out for them and headed out back. They were now back to their usual cabin dress code, wearing their loin cloths as they split wood to prevent slivers in vital organs.

Jared and Liam stayed dressed after Jared suggested they go for a quad ride on some of the trails in the area. They put their helmets on and headed out, Jared in the lead. They drove along trails, through swampy areas and mud.

Liam hadn't driven a quad much, but he was getting more confident. He managed to splash Jared a couple of times with great gobs of mud having the consistency of homemade thick gravy, coating him from head to toe.

Jared had got more than even with Liam. One time, he gunned the quad causing the wheels to spin throwing clumps of mud directly at Liam. By the time he was finished, there was about 4 inches of mud stuck to Liam's head and upper body.

Soon enough, they ended on top of a hill. They parked their quads and took their helmets off. Jared led Liam on foot up higher and then around the peak. When they broke through some bushes, they found themselves on a large flat rock outcropping which was high above the lake giving them a stunning view of the entire area. On the outcropping was a couple of handmade willow chairs, a table and a fire ring made of rocks.

"This is a fantastic view Jared" stated Liam. Jared came up behind him and embraced him.

"Yes it is. You can see the top of the cabin in that direction" Jared pointed. "The area where we were cutting wood is over there. Over there, you can see the river feeding the lake and then out of it again over there. This is a sacred place once used for spotting enemies and signal fires. Sacred ceremonies were also conducted here."

Jared led Liam over the rock face, and showed him some drawings of men with spears and animals painted about 1,000 years ago.

"Touch them" suggest Jared.

Liam reached out his right hand and with his fingertips touched the figure of a man. His head was immediately flooded with visions of a large camp of natives located on the banks of the lake where it meets with the river. There were children playing, women weaving or sorting grains for storage and men practicing their spear throwing or using their bows to shoot arrows at a target. There were racks of split fish and strips of meat hanging from them to dry in the sun. The tribe appeared to be healthy and very happy in their lives. The vision changed to a medicine man sitting on this ledge by the side of a fire. The man suddenly sat straighter and turned slowly to look directly at Liam. He stood and walked towards the boys.

The man raised his hand, palm facing upward and said "Greetings travellers. Standing Maskwa (bear), it is good to see you again my friend" he said looking at Jared.

"Greetings Sacred Medicine Man of the people" replied Jared.

"You have brought a man. Is this Soring Mikisow (eagle) who we saw in our vision? The man of two spirits who will stand by your side and will blend his powers with yours?" he asked.

"It is so Sacred Medicine Man of the people. He has arrived as foreseen" replied Jared.

Jared looked at Liam who was standing very still, his beautiful eyes wide open. "Jared is this real?" he asked, his voice quivering.

"Yes, Liam. You may take your hand off the painting now" said Jared. Liam did so slowly.

"Liam, your name is soaring Mikisow or soaring eagle. This man is the greatest medicine man of the people who ever lived. I introduce you to Trumpeting Wâwâskesiw, Sacred Medicine Man of the people and my grandfather. You would call him great-great-great-great-great grandfather Liam in English. Grandfather, I am honoured to bring to you to Liam or Mikisow, my soul mate" said Jared.

Grandfather stepped forward and embraced Liam strongly, patting his back 3 times and then stepping back. He then motioned to the fire and said "Join me for tea. I have been waiting for you and it is ready" he said.

"How shall I address you wâwâskesiw?" asked Liam.

"Liam, you may call me Grandfather. It is term of respect for anyone young to call an elder Grandfather regardless of the other's culture to assign only two grandfathers for a family. In the people's culture, it takes an entire community to raise a child, therefore the young may call all elders grandfather or grandmother" he explained.

They sat down and Grandfather Elk poured tea into the 3 cups and handed it to them. The drink wasn't made with actual tea leaves, it was made with various herbs and berries provided by Mother Earth locally. "Maskwa, I sense a change in you since last time. The Creator has touched you." He stated.

"Yes grandfather, he did. Although I am not worthy, he has named me Sacred Medicine Man of the people in the sweat lodge ceremony" Jared said. "The Creator also reached deep into Liam to bring the knowledge of the ancients near to the surface in him. He needs to be trained so it will surface completely."

"Then we will start" the old man said. "First, Mother Earth needs her dirt back and you two have much of it on you. Do you not take swims in the lake to be clean in your time?" he asked while smiling.

Jared and Liam both smiled back. Liam said "Grandfather, we were playing in the mud like children, but it was fun."

The old man smiled and said to Jared "You have chosen well. Let's go to the lake and you may swim to clean up. I have loin cloths for you ready to wear."

They took a trail down to the lake and the boys jumped into the water. They took off their clothes and rinsed them as much as they could, and taking them out to dry on the rocks. They returned to the water and finished washing themselves. Coming out of the lake, the old man met them at the shore and gave them some loin clothes. Liam and Jared put them on quickly.

"I shall lead Liam into the forest and we shall look at the medicines and talk with the spirits" stated Grandfather.

"Yes Grandfather. I shall remain here in meditation until you return" said Jared and made himself comfortable on the moss on the edge of the bank, leaning against a tree crossed legged. Liam and Grandfather disappeared into the forest.

Jared had been sitting and meditating for quite some time when he heard some children yelling in the near distance. Curious, he got up, stretched and walked towards them. There were 6 or 7 young teenagers standing around another teenager on the ground. He was crying.

Jared approached the group and held his hand out palm up "Greeting cousins." The youth were startled and turned to him.

"Who are you?" the biggest one demanded. "We don't know you."

"You are old enough for proper courtesy and a proper greeting" said Jared sharply.

The youth were startled by Jared's words. They began to get nervous when the bigger one spoke again "We don't know you. You are not of our tribe so we do not need to show respect."

Jared walked up to the group. The little tents in their loin cloths, the stains on the front of them and the crying youth with his loin cloth pulled down made things obvious to Jared what was happening. He looked at them all, towering over even the biggest and held out his hand, palm up again "Greetings cousins."

"Who are you?" the biggest one demanded again.

Jared was getting upset at their rudeness. "I am Standing Bear, Sacred Medicine Man of the People. My Grandfather is the most Scared Medicine Man of the People Trumpeting Elk. You have not learned your teachings for someone nearing the age of a man and not knowing when to show greetings."

"Trumpeting Elk has no grandchildren" the big one said.

"Now you call me two faced" steamed Jared. Jared stared at the young man who looked back at him. He was trying to square off with Jared. Jared looked skyward as he raised his arms up with the palms facing the heavens. The boys stepped back a bit.

When he brought his head down and looked at the boys, his eyes were glowing bright white. "You have dishonoured yourselves by forcing this boy to have sex with you. In my life, it is called rape and in some cases is dealt with by the punishment of death. You have also failed to properly greet a visitor and by calling him a liar." In a thunderous voice Jared asked "Why do you choose these paths."

The young men were scared now, except for the biggest one. "You don't scare me with these tricks water spirit." He turned to look at his friends and realized they had stepped back and he was alone with the boy on the ground.

"Now you insult me boy" said Jared. Jared focused his eyes on the young man and commanded "Stand with your friends" he said with a thunderous voice again. The boy didn't want to move except he had no choice now as he was now being wiled to move by Jared.

Jared kneeled next to the young man and took him in his arms and pulled the loin cloth back into place carefully. He spoke very gently "what these boys have done to you is a dishonour to them. They will be punished. But first, I wish you to share your pain and suffering with those who have done it to you."

Jared placed his hand on the young man's forehead, and raised his other arm fingers upright like a stop signal pointed at the group of boys. The hand on the boy's forehead glowed and he stopped hurting. Jared looked over at the group and saw them all on the ground crying, and in pain. Jared then gently placed both hands on the head of the boy in front of him and prayed to the Creator. His hands glowed briefly, and the glow spread to the boy and throughout his body. "The Creator has chosen to heal you, the damage, the pain and shame has been removed. You will walk a long path in your life and be with your people for many years of plentiful food, good weather and many children."

The young man looked up and said "Thank you Standing Bear. I will hear your words and make them happen."

Jared stood up and looked at the group of youth on the ground, still crying and in pain. Once again, Jared looked up to into the sky and prayed. The youth were released from their experience.

"Stand up" Jared commanded them.

Jared did not lose his temper very often but, he was fighting it at a level he had never experienced before in his life. He was fighting to remain calm and to think of actions which were suitable for this situation and not over react. Suddenly he filled with rage and thought with what these youth did, they should be destroyed, killed, put to death. They should not be allowed to live and do this ever again. Jared had never felt anything so vivid in his life. He could feel his body breathing quickly, increased heart rate, narrowing his vision to what is called tunnel vision and focused only on the young men. He felt his hands moving with the fingers stretching out and then into a tight fist. He was sweating profusely in spite of the wind and suddenly become aware all of the muscles in his body were tightening and ready to spring into action. His training in Aikido could be used to deal with these young men effectively. He also thought of ways he could make these young men be punished or tormented for years in the spiritual world, made to suffer for their actions.

Then, like a light come one, Jared thought "I am not the creator, I am not the judge, I am not an executor, I am a healer. My body has gone into "fight or flight" mode and I am not thinking about the full picture. I hate their behavior but the tribe has a justice system to deal with transgressions using tribal history and beliefs. I cannot hate, that is an emotion which can run out of control and cause rash decisions. I must only disagree or not like their behavior, never hate the person. I can determine they have broken rules, or laws, or behaved unacceptably but I cannot let hate dominate me. Even the guilty must be healed and dealt with properly. I would be no better than the youth who raped this boy. I must allow the people to deal with their own."

He began to control and will himself to settle down. This time he used his Aikido training to defuse his body from the "fight or flight" mode it was in. He willed his parasympathetic nervous system to work immediately and return his body to normal. It worked and the monster which had grown so quickly in him was slain. He was in control again.




Paramedic Pt. 07



"I have made you to experience how your actions felt on the boy when you forced him into sex against his will. You felt the physical pain, the shame of being used, the pain of the spirit being broken and the mind's thoughts as you did it and how he felt afterwards. I shall take you to the council of elders for them to render a verdict. It is not my place to use my gifts to punish you. Do you understand?" asked Jared.

The boys were all now looking in fear at Jared and nodded their heads slowly.

Grandfather had taken Liam into the forest, showing him the plants, berries, roots and flowers which heal the body and spirit of the people. He sat Liam on a clear area between the jack pine trees. They were sitting knee to knee and holding hands and Liam felt the presence of the Grandfather's spirit and it drew Liam's spirit out of his body. They were both hovering above their physical forms. He taught Liam how to move and control his actions in this form.

"Can I be seen in this form grandfather?"

"If you will it, you can appear to be solid in another place, or time. You must learn to focus your thoughts and the gift of spiritual seeing and hearing to do it" he replied as they sored over the forest. "I'll show you" grandfather said as he took Liam's hand.

The world around them began to move out of focus and suddenly, they were standing and watching his friends split wood.

"Can they see us?" asked Liam.

"No, they can't see or hear us. It's better that way unless we have a purpose to achieve. I wish you to know doing this to pinch someone's butt is not a good use of the gift, unless it can be accomplished while you are doing the creators work" he said with a smirk.

Liam face had shock on it initially, but changed into mischievousness. "Would it be inappropriate to do it once, and get it out of the system, so to speak?"

Grandfather was smiling at Liam. He was definitely going to be a match for Jared and that meant he now had two young men who were best described as "handfuls." Grandfather finally spoke, "I guess Darren is the big one with blonde hair? The one with the big bulge?"

"Yes grandfather. I told him I would do it if I could."

"I believe I have learned your English language now when I say .......go for it and make sure he knows he got it too."

Liam moved quickly behind Darren and got him good. He was jumping up and down holding his ass. Josh was standing there watching and trying to figure out what had happened.

Darren blurted out "Son of a bitch, he got me. Did you hear Liam laughing?"

Josh smiled "I thought I did, but I thought it was my imagination."

"The little twerp....." continued Darren. His voice was fading as Liam and grandfather walked away and into the forest.

Suddenly, the world around them swirled together again and suddenly Liam and grandfather were standing near a camp of Indians. The camp had been attacked by a war party and many people were wounded and laying on the ground.

"Can we help them grandfather?"

"Yes, you are here to learn the skills of healing. Concentrate on making yourself appear solid, and we will work on the wounded."

Liam concentrated and he was standing next to grandfather, both were dressed in the buckskins of a Medicine Man. There had been people nearby when they appeared and they fell to their knees.

"Help us spirits. We have many wounded" said one woman.

"Rise and continue tending to the wounded" said grandfather. "Your work will help them from walking the next world." The women continued washing the wounds of the wounded nearby but kept the spirits under observation from the corner of their eye.

"Liam, come to this man and place your hands on his chest. Pray to the creator that he may guide your hands to do his work, you are a conduit for his work."

Liam did as he was instructed. Suddenly, he felt warmth building within his hands as he saw them begin to glow. Liam could see inside the wounded man's body. The arrow which had been pulled out had pierced his lung and liver. He could see the blood collecting in his lung and around the organs.

Grandfather had his hand on Liam's shoulder and was watching the vision in his head of the wounds.

"Concentrate on the lung tissue, and watch it rebuild" he directed. Liam again did as he was instructed. He saw the fibres of tissue move towards each other and bond, sealing the hole on the front and back. He concentrated on removing the blood from the lung, and he could see it becoming a vapour, and being breathed out from the man's mouth as he exhaled.

Liam concentrated on the liver, ordering the cells to grow and bond together, repairing the organ. When it appeared in vision to be healed, he began to concentrate on the skin wound.

"Liam, just heal the skin wound enough to seal the abdominal cavity. He will live and heal himself with time and you can't use all your energy on that type of wound. You must choose what to heal carefully."

"I saw Jared heal Josh entirely."

"Yes, and he did so using a tremendous amount of his energy. I was aware of his actions and you must understand he chose to expend his energy to heal his friend because of what the wound was and how far it was to get him to a hospital. Josh would not have lived through the trip, and Jared chose to heal him. He also knew he could purge himself right after he did it with no danger to himself. You have much to learn."

Liam once again watched as the tissue grew and bonded together, and sat back on his heels when he thought enough had been done.

"Grandfather, I heard Jared say something every time after he had healed someone."

He looked into Liam's mind and said "It is appropriate Liam."

Liam looked up to the heavens and said "Thank you Creator for guiding my hands so this man may continue the path you choose for him."

The two of them moved about the village and healed many men, women and children together. Liam also was not allowed to heal a few people. He heard a voice inside his head speak and tell him this person has reached the end of their journey in life. Liam understood.

When they had finished tending to the wounded, Liam felt very tired in a way he had never experienced before. The only thing Liam could equate the feeling inside his chest and abdomen as similar to severe cramping, muscle strain and feeling like his chest had filled been inflated with Jello.

"What you are feeling is the energy of the wounds and spirits you healed. When you heal, you use your energy to heal the wounded, but the bad energy of the wound and person is absorbed into your body. I'm impressed Grandson, you have healed and absorbed more energy than I have ever seen before."

"Thank you grandfather, you taught me well."

"We must release the energy Liam, come with me."

Liam followed him to a corner of the village and into a hut where many sacred objects were very specifically placed a circle around the inside. Liam recognised many of the objects from the memories deep within him. Liam sat near the cold fire place after picking up two rocks which were near the door way. Grandfather did the same while also picking up a smudging bundle. He used a match to light the bundle, fanning the smoke around Liam and himself.

Liam must have had a strange look on his face when the match was used. Grandfather smiled and simply said "not everything that is made by the others is evil. To use some of your language Liam, matches are pretty cool and make fire lighting easy."

Liam laughed at the comment and Grandfather sat and smiled at the young man. He is a very powerful healer the old man thought.

"Place the rocks on the ground, and keep your palms on the rock. Visualize the energy in your body, and use your will to force it out your body through your hands, through the rock and into the ground."

Liam closed his eyes and concentrated, he felt a cold feeling begin to grow, and it expanded quickly. He willed it down his arms to his hands and into the ground. It took a few minutes before Liam felt the cold energy was finally gone from his body before he opened his eyes.

Grandfather taught Liam a chant to repeat while he was releasing the energy and to continue after while mother earth was refilling him with good energy. He told Liam to place the palms of hands directly onto the ground as he chanted. He could feel his hands begin to warm, and it soon began to travel up his arms and into the core of his body. After what seemed to be an eternity in time, it was done. Liam felt refreshed and full of energy.

"You have done very well grandson. Many people have been saved and you have learned to control the healing energy quickly."

"Thank you grandfather for teaching me as well as you did."

They left the hut and walked towards a group of people near the centre of the camp. As they were approaching, screams of agony were heard. Liam broke through the crowd and saw a nude young man tied to a travois in a spread eagle position. He was being tortured by two warriors.

"Stop" said Liam.

The two warriors looked at him and laughed. "Who are you to give us orders?"

Grandfather broke through the crowd and stood next to Liam.

A woman spoke from the crowd and said "They are spirits who healed the wounded."

"You have no business here now spirits, be gone" said one of the warriors. He had a knife in his hand which he had been using to cut the skin of the young man in long lines over his chest. The warrior grasped the young man's genitals and moved the knife towards them to remove them.

Liam was thinking about what to do when memories again came from deep within him. Liam raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion. The warrior could no longer move his hand. He tried hard to move his hand, but it felt like someone had grabbed his wrist and was preventing it from moving. Liam then quickly threw his hand to the right, and the warrior moved to the right like he had been dragged and thrown by someone. The crowd was silent, and staring at Liam. Liam's eyes were pure white, and glow emanated from his entire body.

"Grandfather, more of the old knowledge has been awakened within me."

"So I see grandson."

The other warrior had his knife out and was moving towards Liam. Liam brought his right hand up with the palm facing the warrior and pushed away from his body. The warrior flew backwards twenty feet, landing flat on his back.

The crowd fell to their knees and bowed their heads. Some called Liam the Creator. Liam moved to the wounded man and faced the crowd.

"I am not the Creator; I am merely one of his servants who do his will. The Creator understands the use of violence to combat the dark one and the dark servants to but to fight another group of the people is wrong. You are all children of the Creator, even this man you are torturing. You are torturing one of your brothers. This must not continue" demanded Liam.

"But they were on our hunting grounds" said a man in the crowd.

"Since when do the children of the Creator believe they own a part of mother earth?" said Liam with a voice which shook the ground. In a normal voice, Liam continued "Mother earth and everything which lives on her is for all the people to use and share. There is enough for everyone and all of the Creator's children."

The crowd was silent.

"The evil one has darkened your thinking. We must fight it" added Liam.

Liam turned to the tied warrior and released him with the bonds disappearing as he waved his hand. He fell to the ground in a heap. Liam reached over and placed his hands on the man's chest. The entire tribe watched as the man was healed before their eyes.

"Grandfather, this is the son of the other tribe's chief. How may I create peace between the tribes?"

"You are handling this very well on your own grandson, reach out for guidance and think hard. I believe your second grade teacher used to say "put your thinking cap on.""

Liam smiled at the old man and thought for a moment. An idea suddenly was created in his mind using the old teachings.

"You will let this man go back to his home and tell them of what has been said here today. He shall tell his people the words of the Creator about sharing Mother Earth. The leaders of his tribe and this tribe will meet within two days and make peace. My Grandfather and I will come to the meeting to make sure the will of the Creator is being followed and peace has begun. Do the children of the Creator understand his words?"

A big man who had been silent stepped forward. "Your words shall be followed. The warrior may use my horse to go home and I will meet the leaders from his tribe as you said."

"Very good. Our time here is ending, but we shall meet in two days."

Liam walked to Grandfather and stood beside him. The both disappeared and immediately reappeared in front of the gathered tribes at the meeting. There were many chiefs present at the meeting discussing the Creators words. All conversation stopped when the two appeared.

"It's true" said one of the Chiefs. "The messengers of the Creator are here."

"Have you made peace?" asked Liam.

"It is close Grandson" said the young man who Liam had healed.

"What's stopping it?"

"We have a gift, and we need your help to finish the peace" he replied.

"How may I help?" asked Liam.

"First accept this gift as a symbol from all the chiefs." An old man dressed as healer stepped forward with a 7' staff made from diamond willow. The bark had been removed, exposing the white wood and the dark diamonds of the knots. The wood was forked on the top and from it hung five eagle feathers and five fox tails.

The old healer explained "each of the tribes has given a feather and a fox tail to show their commitment for peace. We need you to use this staff to banish the evil ones who create the wars between us."

The old man stepped forward, and then knelt with his head down. He held the staff with his hands up above his head, parallel to the ground.

"Healer of the people, you honour me with your gift" said Liam.

Liam also knelt on the ground in the same position except he used his hand to raise the old man's head up. "I wish you to see me humbled as I accept your gift of peace and love."

Liam lowered his head, and accepted the gift into his hands. He stood with the staff and bowed first to the old man, and then each of the chiefs. They were impressed with the respect shown to them by a powerful spirit, and bowed back to him.

Grandfather spoke up "We shall now honour your request Chiefs of the Council and banish the evil servants. Please, follow us outside."

The group went to the edge of the forest. Grandfather raised his hands and the earth before separated into a deep trench. He began to chant and Liam joined with him. The old medicine man had his drum with him and started to use it. Soon the whole group was chanting.

More old memories came from deep within Liam and he raised the staff into the air, speaking Gallic. He commanded the evil one's to leave the people and never return. He brought the staff down onto the ground which caused the earth to vibrate. Shadows began leave the chiefs and warriors in the circle. Liam slammed the staff down again causing a larger vibration through the earth. More shadows left the people present. Liam yelled in Gallic at the top of his lungs and brought the staff down one more time causing the people to shift their weight to remain steady on their feet from the vibrations. The final shadows left the people. Liam walked to trench and tapped it with his staff.

The shadows had been collecting like a cloud over the people. The cloud was churning and forming faces showing agony were seen. When Liam tapped the open trench, the shadows were drawn into it. The fought the pull into the trench, screaming and painful cries came from the cloud as it disappeared into mother earth. Grandfather closed the ground with a wave of his hand. He then reached into the forest and brought a large sapling spruce tree and planted it over the spot.

Grandfather spoke to the group "This is the tree of peace. It shall grow and flourish, keeping the peace between you. The roots shall form the cage to keep the shadows safely inside Mother Earth's womb so they will not return to possess you. Continue to plant trees here for many generations to replace this tree before it dies so the cage is always in place."

"I thank you for your gift of the staff and I will use it to help me do the work of the Creator" said Liam to the group. "It's time for us to leave. May you all receive the blessing of the Creator for long, healthy life with many grandchildren.

Liam and Grandfather turned into orbs of light, and disappeared into the sky. When Grandfather and Liam reappeared, they were standing next to Jared.

Jared was surprised by the sudden appearance of his Grandfather and Liam. The boys Jared had been confronting disappeared and a buffalo appeared. "You have done well Jared. You saw your anger and experienced hatred. You now know how it can undue all the good of everything else you have done. You learned to control it and give fair justice in your decision. I am proud" the buffalo said. "Your soulmate Liam has learned a lot today as well Jared. Much of the old knowledge has surfaced and Liam is able to heal and use some of his gifts. You two are powerful together."

Grandfather stepped forward and said "I too am proud of both of you. You two did well especially for someone of young ages. The creator chose well. Jared, Liam, we will meet again for more teaching to you and your soul mate. Enough has been learned today."

With that, the two of them we back on the rock outcropping standing there looking over the lake.

"Was that a dream?" asked Liam.

"No, it wasn't. Look our clothing" said Jared. The two of them looked at the clothing. It looked as if it had been rinsed and dried. Definitely less mud than when they started whatever happened to them.

"Nice staff" said Jared looking at it.

Liam replied "A gift to help do the work of the creator. It is a staff of peace between the people, brotherhood, respect, goodness and love."

"Liam, you have the power to turn that staff into the energy of the spirit of the wood. It will always be with you, but in an energy form. When you need it, you will it into your hand."

Liam thought for a moment. "You mean it becomes the same form of energy when I leave my body for a trip."

"Exactly" replied Jared with a smile. "The student is going to surpass the teacher soon Liam."

"It will never happen Jared. Our powers together will do the work, not separately. As soulmates, we are one Jared" replied Liam.

They turned to each other, hugging and kissing passionately. Together, they walked down the path and back to the bikes.

"It's late in the day Liam. We should get back before they get worried about us and get lost trying to search for us" said Jared.

"I agree" responded Liam. "But, there is something important I have to do first."

"And what would that be lover?" asked Jared.

"This!" said Liam as he shoved Jared backwards into a large gooey mud hole. Liam ran and put his helmet on, started his bike and took off down the trail.

Jared got up and was laughing. "Darren is right, he is getting bad" he thought to himself as ran for his bike.

Jared caught up to Liam, and by the time they were back at the cabin, Liam again had more mud on him than Jared did by a longshot. The two of them pulled up to the Quonset, and used the pressure washer to clean the bikes. They parked them inside and striped off their clothing, spraying it down gently. The boys hung their clothing of the clothes line to dry.

When the entered the kitchen, the rest were sitting at the supper table with the meal ready to eat. Liam and Jared quickly found their seats and thanked the others for their thoughtfulness. Jared and Liam cleaned up the kitchen after the meal. Liam ran for the shower while Jared talked to the others on the deck.

"So what's on for tonight?" asked Jared.

"Since we have to go back to the city tomorrow, we thought we could have a campfire and maybe get Josh to play his guitar a bit" replied Tyler. "We actually got all the wood split and stacked too. It became a real contest between Darren and Troy and they weren't using the splitter either. It was done all by hand. They are already feeling it" laughed Tyler.

"I'm not, but he is!" said Darren.

"Am not" replied Troy.

"Am so" said Darren

"Am not" replied Troy.

"Oh my God, they've been reduced to a monosyllabic argument" cried Tyler.

"Enough" said Jared as the two continued saying "am so, am not" to each other. They looked at him and both had fake pouts on their faces, their heads tucked down and their arms crossed tightly across their chests.

"Both of you stand up, bend over asses facing me." The two complied. Jared gave them both a playful smack and then said "No more fighting or pouting children. Play nice." He then gave them a good smack each, leaving a nice pink hand mark on each ass.

The both stood up and grabbed their asses "ok daddy, we'll play nice." Then they stuck their tongues out at each other.

Jared stepped towards them "Don't make me get the hairbrush!" and then started to laugh.

Liam came onto the porch, smelling all clean and looking beautiful. "What the hell is going on out here?"

The two boys looked at each and ran over and hugged Liam tightly. Darren said "Daddy, other mean daddy slapped our asses for doing nothing."

Jared was laughing by now and said to Liam "they're your kids; I'm going for a shower!" He was leaving the deck when he heard 2 slaps on bare asses. He could hear Darren saying "Daaaadddddiiiieeeeeeeeee."

A short time later, Jared returned and found them all in the hot tub. Liam was sitting alone in a corner with his arms stretched out along the top of the tub.

"Coming in daddy?' Liam said.

"You continue along that line and you will get a spanking you will never forget!" said Jared.

Jared stepped into the tub and snuggled up to Liam. Tyler and Darren admitted they were stiff, and for once they didn't mean their cocks. The hot tub felt good to everyone. It was getting dark by the time they got out and dried off. They split up with Darren and Josh going to light the fire, Tyler and Troy getting the drinks with Jared and Liam looking for marshmallows and snacks.

The guys sat around the fire telling jokes, swapping stories and listened to Josh play the guitar. They were now roasting marshmallows and drinking some beer, wine or tea. Life is good, for all of them.

Recap from Chapter 7 

Return to work. 

Jared stepped into the tub and snuggled up to Liam. Tyler and Darren admitted they were stiff, and for once they didn't mean their cocks. The hot tub felt good to everyone. It was getting dark by the time they got out and dried off. They split up with Darren and Josh going to light the fire, Tyler and Troy getting the drinks with Jared and Liam looking for marshmallows and snacks. 

The guys sat around the fire telling jokes, swapping stories and listened to Josh play the guitar. They were now roasting marshmallows and drinking some beer, wine or tea. Life is good, for all of them. 

Chapter 8 - 

Jared was roasting another marshmallow when he felt something tickling his scrotum. He looked down and saw Liam's hand underneath of the chair and a finger poking through the webbing. Jared turned to him and smiled. He held his hand to Liam and brought him into the chair sideways, sitting on his lap. 

"You're a little frisky Liam" said Jared. 

"Only with you, my soul mate" said Liam as he leaned in and kissed Jared. Liam could feel Jared's big cock under his ass begin to get more solid. He also realized he was getting harder too. Liam reached and started to play with Jared's nipples, circling them with a finger playfully and they began to respond. Liam leaned down and blew over a nipple. Jared moaned aloud and threw his head backwards. Liam could feel Jared's big cock getting real solid under his ass now. Liam slid off Jared's lap, and the cock he had been sitting flipped up and was now sticking straight up. Jared had brought his head back up and was looking at Liam. Liam crawled up Jared's body to kiss him. Liam's flat muscular stomach was pressing onto Jared's cock as he was being kissed. Liam also brought a hand up and began to play with Jared's nipple again especially since he knew it worked Jared up so much. He broke the kiss and started to kiss around Jared's neck and down to his chest. 

"Liam, you are getting real good at this real fast" groaned Jared. 

Liam looked up and smiled at Jared, then dove back down on his nipples alternating between them. While doing this, Liam had brought his hand up under Jared's balls and began to play with them. Rolling and massaging them in his hand. He then moved under Jared a little further, tickling the perineum. Jared gasped and rolled his eyes. Liam was working his way down Jared's chest, kissing and giving little nips at the skin. Liam's hand under Jared began to tickle and move around the rose bud. Jared's cock was so hard now it was dripping pre-cum like a fountain. Lim noticed when a wave of ecstasy rolled through Jared, his cock bounced. 

"Liam, you have become my best student ever!" cried Jared. 

Liam used both hands to reposition Jared's legs so they were spread and the knees over the arms of the chairs. Jared rock hard cock, hanging balls and asshole were on full display now. Liam moved in and using one hand, he steadied Jared's cock, beginning to lick from the ball sack to the now exposed and oozing head. Time after time Liam did this much to Jared's delight. 

Liam let go of Jared's cock, and then went lower. He took Jared's balls into his mouth and used his tongue to play with them while one hand was using the precum as a lube to slowly jack up and down on Jared's dick. Jared was holding onto the arms of the chair in a vice like grip even a pry bar couldn't break. Liam let the balls fall out of his mouth, and then reached his objective, Jared's exposed rose bud. He began to lick it and play with it using his tongue. 

Jared was moaning loudly and slid down on the chair a little further to give Liam easier access to his asshole. 

"Please Liam, keep doing that, and get a finger into me" he pleaded. 

Liam tongued Jared's asshole with vigor, beginning to penetrate it. Liam slid a finger up and spit on it. The finger slid into Jared easily. He began to move it in and out slowly, then he went in deep. He wiggled his finger tip deep inside Jared and he could feel the prostrate love button. He massaged it gently causing Jared to squirm and gasp out loud. 

"Liam, I am relaxed. Put your dick into me and share your essence with me" said Jared. 

Liam got up onto his knees and produced a tube of lube and started to coat his dick as well as Jared's asshole. 

"Someone planned this" said Jared. 

"Maybe" replied Liam as he made the facial expression of total innocence to Jared. 

"Innocent my ass" laughed Jared. 

Liam grabbed his dick and put it up against Jared's asshole. He pushed gently, but felt himself slip inside easily. Both Jared and Liam groaned as the dick penetrated deeper into Jared's ass. Slowly, Liam moved in deeper and deeper until he was buried as deep as could go. Liam lifted his head and kissed Jared. 

"I love you Jared" said Liam. 

"I love you more Liam. Especially when that big hard long dick of yours is buried in my ass" replied Jared. 

"Jared, you are so tight and warm inside, I could stay here forever" said Liam, looking into Jared's eyes. 

"Liam, to have you buried in me is the most fantastic feeling. I would let you stay in there forever" said Jared looking back into Liam's eyes. 

Liam started to move in and out of Jared, slowly at first. Jared reached around and grabbed Liam's ass cheeks. 

Liam started to move faster and deeper into Jared. Liam's dick was rubbing Jared's prostrate with each movement, causing Jared to moan louder. Jared loved the feel of the hard little muscle deep within Jared as it came in contact with his dick. 

"Do it harder Liam. Harder" moaned Jared. "Slam that cock into me." 

Jared asshole was so tight and slippery, giving Liam an incredible feeling as he moved in and out it. Jared's internal passage was so warm, and the feeling of the slippery tissue on Liam's cock as it gave to allow passage was the best thing ever had ever felt in his life. 

Liam was moving faster and harder with his thrusts into Jared by now. Jared was moaning continually and Liam could sense his body getting more rigid. Jared's arms reached up above his head and grabbed the back of his chair. Liam looked at the muscles in Jared arms, fully tensed while grabbing the chair. They were so hot. 

Jared called out to Liam "I am going to shoot Liam. You are driving the cum out of me!" 

"I am going to cum too Jared. I want you to cum first." replied Liam 

Jared pushed his ass onto Liam as he thrust in and arched his back up. Jared's cock started to spew cum out in great squirts, the first landing on his chest and the second landing on his face. The rest of the spurts left a trail down Jared's chest and stomach, ending at his dick. 

Liam felt his point of no return as well. He thrust deep and let loose a loud moan. He felt his dick throbbing to deliver its load deep into Jared. He didn't think it would ever end, contraction after contraction. Liam was on top of the world. He crashed onto Jared's chest. Jared leaned down, grabbed Liam's head gently with his hands, and kissed the top of it. 

After a couple minutes, Liam stood up after pulling out of Jared. 

"Liam, I feel so empty with your cock gone" exclaimed Jared. 

Liam climbed onto Jared in the chair, curling like a child sideways. Jared reached his arms around Liam and held him. They had totally forgotten about the other men at the campfire and only remember when they looked around the fire. 

What they saw was Darren bent over the log and Josh plowing into him hard. It was the same log Darren had made love to Josh the night before. 

Troy was sitting on a log with his legs spread and Tyler was sitting on his lap bouncing up and down on Troy's massive hard cock. 

Liam and Jared heard Josh say he was cumming and then froze his movements, impaling Darren deep. Troy was jacking Tyler as he bounced on his dick, and they both started cumming at the same time. When they looked back at Darren and Josh, Darren was laying on his back, his hard dick straight up in the air. Josh was sucking the head while jacking him hard. Darren suddenly sat up and pulled Josh's head into his groin. He straightened his legs and pulled his toes upwards laying his head backwards. It was obvious he was cumming in Josh's mouth and Josh was swallowing as fast as he could to keep up. Josh then stood up and leaned into Darren and kissed him. 

Darren suddenly realized everyone was sitting and watching them and said "What? Is there nothing on TV you couldn't be watching?" 

They all started to laugh as the couples snuggled together and watched the fire. 

"Liam, do you remember you worried about being naked in front of everyone and being embarrassed if you had a hard-on when you first got here?" asked Jared. 

"Hmmmm. No, I don't remember that" Liam said, and he laughed. "You brought me out of my shell Jared, which makes me only love you more." 

Jared made a movement to signal Liam to stand up. They both stood up. "Guys, I have a new gift from the Creator I found out about this afternoon and I would like to try something with us as a group. The Creator would not object to us a family doing this. I am still learning the skill and I need feedback from you guys after it is done" said Jared. 

"What is it" asked Josh. 

"I think I am able to project emotions from person to person. What I would like to do, is have everyone think of each other and what we enjoyed the most about this weekend, beside the sex Darren" said Jared. 

"Dam" said Darren. 

"Let's move towards the fire ring and I want everyone to hold hands" said Jared. When they had done this, Jared took his hands from Liam and Josh for a moment. He looked up to the sky and held his arms up and palms upwards. 

"Creator, I stand here with my family of brothers and my soul mate before you. I am asking for your permission to use the gift to share what we have for each other." 

Jared's eyes flashed a bright white, contrasted by the night surrounding them. Liam lowered his hands and took Josh's and Liam's hand back into his. 

At first, the feeling started slowly as if a low voltage electrical charge was running through everyone. The electrical feeling transformed into a feeling of warmth centered in their chest. The warmth spread from their chest areas and progressed through their bodies until every square inch of them felt erotically sensitive and warm. The sensations they were experiencing gave each man a very strong feeling of security. 

Jared sensed the emotional warmth and love of each member of his family, but especially from his soulmate Liam. Suddenly, they all began to have visions of the volleyball game, the wood gathering, the hot tub, and the meals where they were chatting between themselves. They saw the group swimming and water skiing as if they were watching television. The group also saw people running by Darren and slapping his ass, the tickling of Troy and the sweat lodge ceremony they had endured together. 

The final vision they saw was not from their memories, but it was of a bear with an eagle on its shoulder with two wolves on each side sitting in a line and facing them. The single vision in their minds was now very clear; they worked and loved each other as a family, a real family. They needed each other's strengths to balance the weaknesses, but it made them whole. They sensed how each of them didn't have a family in their lives and they had been given the gift of each other to become the family they didn't have. The love and the strong feeling of protection for each other brought a very warm feeling to their bodies. The vision began to change. From one side, a large black raven flew in and landed in front of the bear. A fox and another wolf walked in carefully and sat next to the raven. All the animals let loose their cry into the air loudly and then vanished. 

Their bodies began to feel tingly again, like a low electric charge was running through them once again. It wasn't uncomfortable and was pleasurable as they felt a charge throughout their entire bodies. The feeling receded from everyone, and they dropped their hands. 

Nobody said a word for a moment until Darren said "Holy fuck, and I thought the sweat lodge was the best thing I had ever done." The group laughed. 

Jared asked them to describe what they saw and felt during the new ceremony. They had seen each other's favorite moments over the weekend, like a news program summary of past events for a headline story. They all described the same thing, and they had experienced the feeling of love from everyone else in the circle. The men also described how they had felt the commitment to each other as family. 

Liam spoke up "Jared, I have loved others. This is the first time I have ever actually experienced feeling someone's love for me. I mean, I actually felt it. Of course, the strongest feeling was from you Jared." 

Troy spoke up "Our spirit guides are all wolves and wolves are very loyal to their pack as well as protective of all the members as well." 

"We all love each other as brothers, actually deeper than that. We are family. Something we all never had in our lives for one reason or another. We've accepted you as a member because of the way you love Jared and the aura you project while doing it" said Tyler. 

Darren then spoke softly, and had tears on his cheeks. "I agree with everyone. I have yet to tell you guys about myself other than you accepted me as Josh's boyfriend. There were no games or hidden agendas from any of you. You just accepted me for who I am, unconditionally. I have never felt anything like that before in my life and I didn't know anyone could love me. I didn't know anyone like Josh could be so good to me. I lost my brother while he was in the army, and he was the last to ever love me until Josh and you guys..." Darren broke down into tears. 

The rest of the guys moved in quickly to hold him tight while he cried. A couple of minutes later, he was back in control. 

He sniffed and spoke "You guys are the first I have ever cried in front of. I was taught that men never cry. The way you rushed into help me, I'm going to lose it again." Darren grabbed Josh into a tight hug, and Josh returned it to Darren. 

Jared then spoke "I would say that experiment went well. We are now aware of and have actually experienced each other's love. I wish this was something mankind could experience, true love for each other. We are brothers." 

Liam spoke up. "I saw in the final vision we are about to grow in family members. We have another wolf brother coming as well as fox and raven brothers. I didn't see any indication when, but it felt like it would be soon to me. Jared?" 

"I agree, I felt it to be soon as well. We must all keep our eyes open for the people who may need to join our family's path in life" said Jared. 

The men all murmured their agreement. 

Jared looked to the sky and said "Creator, thank you for allowing us to do this. Although I was learning the skill, I learnt much more about love and commitment. We offer our thanks to you for allowing us to share." 

Everyone was still looking up when suddenly a shooting star or debris from space entered their field of vision, streaking across the sky. It exploded into a beautiful burst of light and flaming trails. Then it was gone as suddenly as it appeared.  

Tyler asked to no one in particular "A sign saying you're welcome?" 

"I don't know about you guys, but I think it is bed time for Liam and I" said Jared. He then leaned over smacked Darren's ass a good one. 

Darren yelped. 

"You were a bad boy today. You should be put to bed." said Jared. 

Then Josh added "after a good spanking." 

Darren laughed and gave us the finger. 

"Please make sure the fire is out before you leave, guys. Good night" said Jared. 

They all hugged before Jared and Liam left for the cabin, arm in arm. After relieving themselves in the bushes, they went up to bed. They climbed into bed facing each other and holding hands between them. After a kiss, they stared into each other's eyes until they fell asleep. 

The group had left the cabin by mid-afternoon to return to work the next day. The morning had been filled with waterskiing after breakfast followed by volleyball and sun tanning after lunch until they packed up and left for the city about mid-afternoon. Everyone had hugged before leaving and they would be texting each other to find the next window of opportunity for everyone to come back. Liam had followed Jared back to the apartment in his vehicle and spent the night. 

Work had been fast paced today so the time went quickly and their shift ended before they knew it. Liam had gone to his apartment to go through his mail and catch up on various day-to-day things he had been ignoring for the past week. He would be back at Jared's apartment about 9 pm and bring a few more clothes and personal items with him. Jared and Liam had been discussing his moving into the apartment and Liam would do it after giving notice to his landlord. 

Jared was at his apartment alone and had just finished smudging. He was sitting on the couch, drinking a cup of herbal tea, watching Peter Griffin and his antics on television. Everyone had weaknesses of varying degrees and one of Jared's was watching this show. 

Liam came into the apartment around 930 pm and found Jared sleeping on the couch. He gently stroked Jared's face for a moment, helped him up and led him to the bedroom. Liam thought to himself "Jared is really tired tonight" and helped him get ready for bed. When Liam crawled into bed, Jared snuggled up to him and placed his head on Liam's chest, arm across his abdomen and fell asleep. 

They awoke at 0500 when the alarm went off. Both had slept well through the night. After a quick run, shared shower and an even faster breakfast, they headed off to work. 

As soon as they got to the base, both of them could sense something was up. They headed into the shift room for the briefing. Rob was sitting there and had a worried look on his face. 

"What's up Rob?" asked Liam 

"Staffing problems." replied Rob. 

"What problems?" Jared asked with interest. 

"Tim left a message for this morning he won't be in for the next 2 dayshifts. There were 3 other calls from other medics saying the same thing. They all have some sort of gastrointestinal problem." said Rob. 

"We can switch and stay on days for you Rob if that helps." offered Liam. 

"Actually it does and I appreciate your offering. I was going to ask but it was too short of time under the Labour Act for me to change your schedule." said Rob. 

"Rob, it's never a problem for us to help out. We've told you that before." said Jared. 

"I think this illness of Tim and his gang has something to do with his wanting to form that association and I have to walk carefully around here. I've always followed the rules and our employer has always been real good to everyone. I still don't understand why he's trying to do this." said Rob. 




Paramedic Pt. 08



"Rob, Tim is a borderline medic with his skills. He also has terrible self-confidence and an image problem. Combined with arrogance, poor people skills and poor personal hygiene he is trying to get himself a position of power. Who do you think would be running the association?" said Jared. 

"You are probably right, Jared. But, don't hold back anything and really tell me what you think of Timmy." Rob said barely containing his laughter. 

Liam gave Rob a smirk and said "That was sugar coated; you don't want to hear what he really thinks, Rob." 

All three of the men chuckled together. "The only problem with you guys working days will be I need to split you up and put part-time medics with you. That gives me two strong units as opposed to 1 strong and 1 weak unit. I know you guys work together well and you are my best team, I hate to split you up." said Rob. 

"Rob if that's what you need, we'll help you out and babysit the part-timers." said Liam. 

"So Rob, how are you going to deal with Timmy and Crew? I would suspect they are all in this together for the association. Honestly, the vast majority of the medics I have spoken with either aren't interested or don't care." said Jared. He continued "Come to think of it, that's the way medics deal with everything. They either don't care or aren't interested in change." 

"You're right Jared." said Rob. He started to say something, but stopped. "I need to ask you something, in confidence." asked Rob. 

"Anytime Robbie, you know that. Anything you say to me can be said in front of Liam as well. Both of us understand what confidentiality means." replied Jared. 

"I agree with Jared." said Liam. 

"Guys, I'm out of my element in dealing with Tim and his crew. Jared, I'm a Critical Care Paramedic, instructor and operational administrator. I'm not human resources trained and although I have been learning slowly, I don't know what to do." said Rob. "You two have never been a problem and always been the big teamwork motivators, and helping me into my role more than anyone else. I thank you for everything you've done, but I'm out of my element here and I need some help." 

Rob continued, "The thefts, the damages, the Health Department, staffing problems and shortages, Timmy, and now the association are all taking a toll on me. My wife is worried sick about me because of long hours and I'm not sleeping very well when I do get home. I haven't been spending any time with the kids either and they are sensing problems from me. My wife and I have been talking about me finding another job, back in the field somewhere." 

Rob had dropped his look of being the supervisor, and now looked pretty beaten up. He had a blank look on his face best summarized by "burnt out." He had been acting as the boss when they came in, but now he had dropped the facade and was being honest to us thought Jared. 

Jared was very concerned with what he saw in Rob. He reached out and placed his hand on Rob's hand while at the same time grabbing Liam's hand under the table. Jared concentrated and suddenly both Liam and he were flooded with Rob's thoughts, emotions, and inner conflicts all focused at the point he left the field to become an administrator. Jared removed his hand and let go of Liam. He glanced at Liam and asked "We have to help Rob any way we can now that we know everything, right partner?" 

Liam nodded his head and said "What we need to do is picture clear to me, Jared." 

Jared turned to Rob and asked "How is staffing today?" 

"It's good. You guys are the floaters today for backup or messy situations." replied Rob. 

"Liam, grab us a couple of radios so we can monitor the channel while we're talking with Rob." said Jared. 

As Liam was leaving to the room, Jared asked, "You told me once before the guy you report to is named John. Have you talked to him about this?" 

"I've played telephone tag with him a few times over the last couple of days but we just haven't spoken." he replied. 

"Let's get him on the speaker phone right now and bring him up to speed. We can all put our heads together to deal with this." suggested Jared. 

Liam returned to the room with the radios, closed the door and sat down again. 

"Ok, I'll try Jared." Rob exhaled loudly showing his frustration as pulled the phone to him. He picked a line, hit speaker and dialed the number. It rang and was answered after the third ring. 

"Bear Investment Group, how may I direct your call?" asked a young voice. 

"I need to speak with John please." said Rob. 

"I am sorry, he's not available right now or for most of the day, may I give you his voice mail?" she asked. Rob gave Jared and Liam the "I told you so!" look on his face. 

Jared spoke up "May we speak with Marlene, please?" 

"Of course you may, Sir. I'll put you right through to Ms. Bear." she replied. The transfer was made and everyone heard the phone ring. 

The phone was answered "Marlene Bear, how may I help you today?" 

Rob had a puzzled look on his face and was mouthing words to Jared, "Who is Marlene Bear?" 

Jared held his finger up in the universal gesture of just give me a minute. 

"Marlene, the harmony and serenity of your voice is only surpassed by the beauty of your face." said Jared. 

Laughter over the speaker was heard by the three men. Rob gave a real puzzled look to Jared. Marlene said "Jared! It has been so long since we spoke, but usually when you start a conversation with lines like that, the shit is about to hit the fan." she said with laughter in her voice. Marlene then added, "What's up, cuz?" 

"I'm here with Liam and Rob at the Ambulance Base. We need help from John so we need to speak with him." 

"He's in one of his usual meetings, Jared, not that I can't pull him out, but what's up?" she asked. 

"Marlene, please pull him" said Jared with a very flat voice. "I want both of you to hear this so put it on speaker phone when he gets there. Plus, you two might want to get a coffee too. This may take a while. We'll get ready on this end, so give us five minutes please." 

"Sure thing, Boss." she said and put him on hold. 

Rob's jaw hit the table and he asked, "Cuz and Boss? What is this all that about?" 

Liam cut in, "Is this one of those investments?" he asked to Jared. 

"Yes Liam, this one and a few others." replied Jared. "Rob, this will be brief but I can explain more at a later time. Before we get back on the phone with John, the Bear Investment Group has a fairly diversified investment portfolio, and they own a few ambulance services as part of a business group within the corporate structure. Marlene is my real cousin and she's classified as the CEOPS (Chief Executive Operations) and John's executive assistant. That makes her third in command of the Corporation." explained Jared. "John is Chief Financial Officer and second in command but has the role of Acting CEO." 

Rob was listening attentively. "I'm almost afraid to ask, but here I go, Jared. How do you know so much about the Bear Investment Group?" 

"Well, to start with, my name is Jared Bear. I chose Bear as the name for my company as the Bear is the healer in the spiritual world of the first nations people. I am the President and actual CEO of the Bear Investment group, Rob." 

Rob was stunned and didn't know what to say. Jared looked at him and said, "Rob, you're drooling. Close your mouth." 

Rob shook his head and said, "We need to talk more after this call is finished, Jared." Rob thought for a moment and then said, "I guess I better rephrase that. Jared, may I have a few minutes of your time for a discussion after you have finished the phone call?" 

"Rob, I'm still Jared and just a paramedic who works for this company and for all intents and purposes, you are my boss. I have taken this action because..." He was cut off by the phone line opening. 

"Jared, what's up? This must be serious for you tell us to get coffee." said John. 

"John, I'm here with Rob at the ambulance service and we need your's and Marlene's help. I have dropped my persona and Rob is aware of who I am after Marlene called me boss." 

"Oh shit! I'm sorry, Jared." she said. 

"Marlene, I am going to charter a helicopter with a cargo net and dump a load of horse shit on your front lawn for giving me up to Rob." said Jared with a straight face. 

"Oh not again, Jared." she replied. 

They could hear John say, "Marlene, last time it was cow shit, not horse shit." 

Rob was sitting there looking at the phone and Jared in total shock. 

"John, now we get serious. Rob is crashing and burning here. He's been trying to get you on the phone with no success. What's the problem?" asked Jared. 

"My apologies Rob; we've been having problems with the voice mail but you should've been put right through to me no matter where I was." said John. 

"He wasn't, John." stated Jared. "I see a couple of problems and I need Marlene to fix this for me. There's a new voice at the front desk who obviously doesn't know who Rob is and the priority his calls get. She was very polite and followed procedure but it appears to me something was overlooked. Marlene, can you deal with that please?" 

Marlene answered quickly "I'll deal with it after this call, Jared." 

"Thanks, cuz. Rob is burning out because of the size of the staff and being operations manager. I want a Human Resources person hired and in place ASAP and that person will report to Rob. Marlene, once they're in place, I would like you to come down here and spend some time with them. You are the best I know in that field." 

Marlene answered quickly again, "I will start looking for someone today, Jared. I won't be able to drive down there though. My car will be buried in the laneway with horse shit." 

"Cancel the air drop." laughed Jared. "I need you here more, cuz." 

"Will I get to meet Liam when I come down? Grandfather called and told us about seeing you two." she laughed. 

John spoke up as well, "Yes, when do we get to meet him, Jared. Grandfather told us your whole tribe was in the sweat lodge when he visited you for a chat. He said you guys were cute together and made a good couple." 

"I want to know if he is really hung well and if I could turn him to light side." Marlene said. 

"Marlene, you may get 2 loads of shit now, as well as John, too. You just outed us both to Rob. At this very moment, Rob is sitting across from me holding his head in his hands and staring at the desk." said Jared laughing. 

Jared looked at Rob across the desk from him just sitting and staring at him. He turned to look at Liam and he was blushing, starring at the ceiling and pretending to whistle as if he didn't hear a thing. 

Rob spoke up "Jared, I'm going to have to keep a list of things we need to speak of after the call." 

They all heard "Shit" come out of the speakerphone a few times. Jared then asked, "Anything else you two want to let Rob know about?" 

John and Marlene were laughing. John replied, "No sir, we can leave the goats for another day." 

Rob exclaimed, "Goats? God help me, what've you two sent me as a paramedic?" and started to loosen and laugh. 

Liam jumped in, "Goats? Are you a Daaaaaaddddddy, Jared?" The other end of the phone was lost in laughter and even Rob started as well. 

Jared spoke, "I'm keeping my own list here, four loads of shit to be delivered, and a spanking for Liam. Rob, if you don't stop helping them to gang up on me I'll add loads of shit for your house too." 

Rob was obviously beginning to relax somewhat and asked, "My wife has been wanting me to get some for the garden. Could you dump it in the backyard?" 

Jared looked at him and gave him the finger. "Screw you all. Let's get back on topic here. Next is I want some of the guys from the Bear Security Group with cameras on the move this morning. Rob will give you the addresses, four of them, and I want those people followed and videotaped. They're possibly trying to form an association here at the base. I don't have a problem with unions or associations and you know we have some at a few of the other ambulance bases. My problem is who and how they're doing it. If the staff had been serious, I could've even suggested a couple of contacts at the other bases to help them organize properly and above board. The main people have called in sick for the next two shifts with a GI problem. I want a written report summarizing their activities emailed to me and Rob at the end of each surveillance shift; 24 hour coverage for this job, John." 

"Understood, Jared." replied John. 

"Now that Liam is known to you guys, John, he needs help with investments for a settlement he had banked away. Can you come down and talk to him in the next couple of days. You can also scope out what is going on here." said Jared. 

"I can be there the day after tomorrow. There are a couple of things I need to deal with tomorrow, Jared and unfortunately they can't be delayed. As soon as I'm finished, I'll drive down. Is the spare bedroom still open?" asked John. 

"You're more than welcome to stay with us, John. You don't even need to ask." replied Jared. 

"Will you wear some fucking clothes when I'm there or have you got Liam doing the nudist thing already?" asked John with a hint of humour in his voice. 

Rob looked at him and opened his mouth to speak. "Rob, you say one word and there will be 3 loads dumped at your house." said Jared with a big smile on his face. 

"John, he's corrupted me already. He won't let me wear clothing and I have to call him Master." said Liam with a fake pout on his face. The two on the phone were laughing again. 

Marlene spoke up, "I think I'm going to like you, Liam." 

Jared looked at Liam, "One more word from you and you get the spanking here!" 

"We're having thefts of drugs and willful damage done to equipment in our units. I want cameras to record everything in the back of every unit as well as upgrading them around the base. There are some blind spots inside and outside I want covered. Preferably this should be done in the next 2 days while the troublemakers are off sick and I'm thinking they are involved in these problems." directed Jared. 

"Yes, sir" John said in voice which indicated deep thought. 

"Rob, I want you to direct each of the people who call in sick to get certificates from a doctor to confirm it. We are not required to pay for sick day absenteeism so while they're off, no pay. They are not allowed to return to work until the note is in our possession and our Doctor has confirmed the note with their doctor." 

"Yes, sir" Rob said. 

"Rob needs a pay raise. Marlene, increase it 40% and add a paid 5 day cruise into his contract yearly, effective today." Jared looked at Rob and said "I need you here, Rob. Understood?" 

Both Marlene and Rob said, "Yes, sir." 

"Lastly, Liam is to be terminated." Jared then changed his voice in a high pitched one with a terrible lisp, "He has been such a bitch and I can't stand it anymore!" 

They could hear John and Marlene loose it on the other end of the phone. Rob was laughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. Liam was standing there with his hands on hips. 

Liam, using the same type of voice Jared had said, "You bitch! If you think you are going anywhere near the bed or me tonight, you're wrong! It's the couch for you, mister, until you change your tune. He wanted me to wear a French maid outfit to clean the house, imagine all of this in that costume! It would be big in the wrong places!" 

John and Marlene now could not speak because they were laughing so hard. Rob was on the floor having fallen out his chair. Finally, Liam and Jared lost it too. 

After some time, Marlene was heard on the phone, "Liam, I think we're going to get along fine!" 

Jared spoke up, "You're both just bitches!" Everything finally settled down where people could talk again. 

"Marlene, I have been thinking..." started Jared. 

"Oh shit, I hate it when he starts that way." blurted out Marlene. 

"As I was saying before being interrupted by my lovely cousin who is almost unemployed, I want you down here tomorrow to help Rob sort out the personnel problems here until you hire a HR person. You can stay at a hotel and troll the bars for potential husbands at night. Although there aren't many young, good looking, rich, low IQ'd and blind..." 

Marlene cut him off, "Asshole." Jared started laughing again as did John. 

"Ok people, do we have questions? Is Everyone clear on what must be done and in what timeframe?" asked Jared. 

Marlene chirped up on the other end of the phone "So what are you doing to help us, Maskwa?" 

Jared smiled and looked at Rob, "Who, me? I'm just an ambulance driver. I don't know anything; just ask Liam, he'll back me up. By the way, John and Marlene, did Grandfather tell you Liam is now Mikisow?" 

"No, he didn't. Way cool. No wonder you two do so well together with those sprit guides. I can hardly wait to meet him." said Marlene. 

Liam spoke up, "You know, Jared; she doesn't sound anywhere near as old and as much of a bitch as you painstakingly described her." 

Just as Marlene shrieked from the other end of the phone, Liam shrieked at this end due to Jared grabbing his nipple and twisting it hard. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the meeting. Marlene, send me a copy of the minutes by email ASAP please. Let's get to it people. I have an ambulance to drive." said Jared. 

Everyone said good bye and Rob hung up the phone. Rob stood and stuck out his hand for Jared to shake. When they grasped each other, Jared reached into his mind and saw he was actually happy to see things being fixed and action taken. Rob was thinking to himself his wife was going to be very happy about the cruise. A sudden fear came into Rob's mind about the kids and babysitters. 

Rob shook his head and they both sat down. "So where does this leave us Jared? You are my boss." asked Rob. 

"By the way, I just had a thought; I am going to change the cruise to a family vacation with all expenses covered. There will be no need for babysitters." 

Rob looked at him in deep thought. "I was just thinking that. Thank you Jared." 

"I was the one who promoted you if truth be known, Rob. I've been the boss or owner of this place since I was young and it's a long story. But, it can best be summarized as I received a large estate when my parents were killed. John and my grandfather built it up to what it is today, and taught me everything they know. With what they taught me, I diversified the investments and expanded what they had into emergency medical services and security fields. We will never be the world's largest company, but we keep a lot of people employed, and make a little money from it." 

Rob just stared and said, "Wow." 

"No one except the three of us need to know about this, Rob. Do you have a problem with continuing as we were? After all, Rob, I kept it from you for years. This is your show. I'll step in if I must to protect my employees, the service users, or my investment, but it's your show. I will not interfere with your job and it will be the same as before. You keep talking with John, and now Marlene, as if I don't exist except as your employee. But if you need something, let me know." said Jared. 

"I can do that, Jared, and thank you for your help. I have always thought of you as one of the best medics I have ever seen and now I know you are damn good boss, too. Thank you for the raise and benefits. I'll call my wife and let her know what is going on." said Rob. 

"Make sure your door is closed please, Rob, and do not use my name, just the boss. I know how women gossip." said Jared. 

"No problem." replied Rob. 

"Something I really need you to know, Rob, I am not interested in running a business at this point in my life. I know how to do it and enjoy the role I play in the big picture but I truly love my work as a paramedic and healer. That work is my path through life. You have no clue how much I give to various organizations to help them provide services to the people. I have people running the business for me, people like you, Rob. How many people do you know who are the owners of multi-million dollar business and they change disposable diapers for adult patients who have soiled themselves or get puked on by some drunk. My calling and my life is being a paramedic, working shifts like everyone, and trying to heal those who need help." said Jared. 




Paramedic Pt. 08



"When you put it that way, Jared, it makes sense. I have to admit I really don't understand why you would still be working on-car and shiftwork when you have other options. But if you enjoy it, go for it." said Rob. 

"Rob, it's more than doing it because I like it. It's my calling and purpose on this planet from the Creator." said Jared. 

Liam spoke up, "Rob, it's complicated, but I know Jared and I would like you to come up to the cabin for a sweat ceremony. It would help you to understand what Jared means by his path through life. I follow the same path Rob. We were predestined before we were born to help others." 

"I have no clue what you guys are talking about but I would love to try it." said Rob. 

"Last request of you Rob. Do you have a problem with Liam and I being gay, and a couple?" asked Jared. 

"No. I have good friends who are gay. I had no clue about either of you, not that it mattered in the least. I don't have straight written across my forehead, either, so all I knew was you guys were good paramedics and good people." replied Rob. 

"We don't deny it but you know how medics talk and gossip." said Jared. 

"Like I said, Boss, I have no problem with it." said Rob. 

The alarm on their radios warbled so Jared and Liam ran for their unit.

Chapter 9 

There was a small LGBT drop-in center downtown and Jared had volunteered a few times helping with some activities, enjoying it very much. He wanted to do more to help them in their community outreach programs but was still deciding how to do it most effectively. He was surprised when a call came in to attend to the center in response to an assault. They pulled up front and killed the emergency equipment. 

When they came in the front door with their equipment, Liam and Jared were rushed into the Director's office. Zane, the director, was on the floor leaning over top of a young man lying there, talking to him soothingly. 

"Down here Jared, I was hoping it would be you to get the call. This is Conner and he's 18 years old. He crawled or fell through the front the door a short while ago. He came to us for help after being beaten badly by his father at home. I don't know how he made it here on his own," Zane explained. 

Jared knelt beside Conner and said, "Hi Conner. I'm Jared and this is my partner Liam. We're here to help you if you'll let us." Jared observed Conner was lying on his back but semi-recumbent, his one arm holding the other up in a guarding position. This guarding position was different though. He was not only supporting his arm in a stable position, he had positioned his arm tight to his chest. 

Conner opened his swollen eyes as much as he could to look at Jared. "I hurt everywhere." 

"What happened?" asked Jared. 

"This is my birthday gift from my father. He didn't want any abominations in the eyes of the Lord soiling his house and family so he beat me up more than usual. Then he dragged me to the door and rolled me down the front steps. He yelled at me that I don't belong to this family anymore, that he has no son." 

As Conner was talking, Liam had moved up the other side of him and was starting to get some equipment out gently. Liam didn't want to startle the young man so he told him, "I am going to put something on your finger and take your blood pressure as well. It won't hurt you Conner." 

"How did your father assault you, Conner? Like, with his open hands?" asked Jared. 

"He punched, slapped and kicked me when I was on the ground. He used something else on me, maybe a broom handle to hit me with. It broke over my arm and he got even madder," replied Conner. 

"Conner, you're doing fine. I need to poke one of your fingers for another test. You may feel a pin prick for just a second," said Liam. 

"I am going to open your shirt so I can examine you Conner. Let me know if it hurts," said Jared. As he started to work on opening his shirt, Conner cried out. Jared looked at him and got out his scissors, cutting up the sleeves and the chest. He moved the material and exposed Conner's arms and chest. There were numerous bruises and swelling all over the young man's body. They weren't all fresh marks as many were in various stages of healing. Conner also had one very clear, very fresh and very detailed shoe print on his chest. Obviously his father had been wearing Nike running shoes when he kicked him. The trade mark was embedded in Conner's skin from the force of the kick. The police should be able to match the shoe print pattern on Conner's chest to his dad's footwear as evidence. 

"If you would call the police Zane, and ask if Tyler or Josh is available to respond to this complaint," requested Jared. "Liam, this call is yours." 

He nodded his acknowledgement and continued what he was doing. Liam called out the blood pressure, oxygen level, blood sugar and Conner's hemoglobin levels. 

"Before we start too much, I think we need to snap a few pictures of Conner's injuries for our report and the police," said Jared. 

Liam commenced cutting up the middle of the each leg to remove Conner's pants. While he was cutting, he turned to Jared and said "Internal bleeding with those numbers. Get the lines established with the biggest cathelons you can get into him. It doesn't look like he has much in the way of veins to work with though." 

Liam continued to cut the pants off while Jared got to work. Finished cutting, Liam pulled the pants off the young man. Although the boxer shorts were still in place, both Liam and Jared could see his father had done a good number on him. Jared took his smartphone out and snapped several photos of the injuries. 

While Liam was checking Conner from head to toe a more detailed second time, Jared was initiating the fluid therapy. 

Conner cried out, "He hates me. My father hates me and wanted me dead because I'm gay. Let me die, I'm a disgrace to him. He's been trying to beat Satan out of me for years. I tried not to choose this lifestyle but I wasn't strong enough. Satan won the battle and I'm evil." 

Jared spoke to Conner in a very soothing tone, "Being gay is not a choice Conner, but hatred is. The Creator made every person on this planet and allowed them some choices, but sexuality wasn't one of them. We should love everyone like a brother or sister, no matter who they love like the Creator intended." 

Liam looked and saw the office door closed and now it was just the three of them. He looked at Jared and nodded his head. 

Liam placed one hand on Conner's forehead and another on his chest. "Creator, guide my hands to do your work, this man needs to continue on his path in life and was not meant to take this trail," prayed Liam aloud looking up. 

Jared watched as Liam's eyes began glow a brilliant white. Liam started in Conner's head and healed a small bleed, the result of blunt force trauma applied by his father kicking him. He quickly moved from the brain and down through the spinal cord noting the fluids colour was unremarkable. There were lots of superficial bruising, and that would heal on its own. Traveling through abdomen, Liam observed fresh blood collecting. The spleen was obviously the root of the problem and he saw it was damaged and bleeding into the surrounding cavity. There had so far been about a liter of blood lost as Liam began to heal it. The tear was significant and was taking all his concentration. The damaged edges of the tissue began to glow as they reached towards each other finally healing the organ. While the organ was healing, Liam thought he saw a shadow fighting to stay in the organ, but finally leaving it. Liam concentrated on the blood in the cavity, allowing the walls of the intestines to absorb it for elimination. He realized this would give the young man some foul smelling explosive diarrhea in the near future, but it was better than dying. Conner relaxed slightly as the glow disappeared. 

"Jared, he's still injured, but the life threatening conditions have been fixed," said Jared. "The surgeons will have to look at the arm." 

"Good work Liam," said Jared. "Looks like even you had a challenge." 

"The spleen was in rough shape. I sensed something in the injuries, like a residual shadow from his father's assault. His dad must be filled with the servants of the dark to do this to his son, and it may have been one of them in Conner," explained Liam. 

"Let's focus on Conner now, and deal with the rest as it happens," suggested Jared. 

Working together, they immobilized him in a neck brace and then gently moved him onto a spin board. The door to the office opened and a police officer walked in who Jared didn't recognize. Zane came in behind him and said, "The guys were tied up. This is Officer Newberry." 

Officer Newberry looked like he didn't want to be here. "What have we got here?" he demanded of the medics. 

Liam spoke up, "You have an 18-year-old male assaulted by his father. Beaten with a weapon, punched and kicked numerous times. We suspect a broken arm, possibly cracked ribs and internal bleeding." 

"What did he do to cause the assault?" asked the officer. 

"He didn't do anything. He's the victim, Officer Newberry. His father beat him and then threw him out of the house because Conner was gay," replied Liam. 

Jared and Liam could both feel the officer's emotions even without having to make contact with him, and they weren't good. Jared sensed the officer was going to bury this incident and even help the young man's father. Then it came through clearly to Jared that Newberry was a religious zealot who actually knew the young man and his father as they went to the same church together. The hatred from Newberry towards the LGBT Centre, gays and the young man was not physically obvious, but emotionally it was crystal clear to both Liam and Jared, sending involuntary shudders up their spines as they felt the emotional waves of energy. 

Liam was repulsed by this man, but he also knew Officer Newberry was one of those people who he could not intervene with to make him change his path of life. He had chosen it freely and he didn't realize the poison and evil influences which were at work within him. 

Newberry looked at Jared and said, "Well, I will look into it and talk with his dad. There is probably more to the story than this fag... young man is telling us." 

After Jared and Liam lifted Conner onto the stretcher, Jared turned and said to Officer Newberry, "There is no reason for any father to do this to his son. There is nothing a son could have done to warrant this from the man who created him and gave him life." 

"Well, I guess we'll see about that, won't we," he replied very disinterested. 

Officer Newberry turned to leave the room when Liam called to him and asked, "Are you going to meet us at the hospital?" 

"No, I won't be. I have to go for my lunch break and then I'll go take a statement from his dad first. I'll drop by to see him later," Officer Newberry replied with ice in his voice. "It's fitting that the abomination came here to this den of sin to find help from his kind. He needed to get help to get his story straight to blame his father." 

Liam was about to become unglued when Jared held his hand up towards him. 

Jared said to Liam, "Let's get this young man to the hospital where there are people who care to talk with him." 

"Be careful of his blood, it is probably full of the disease God sent to cleanse the earth of those heathen abominations," suggested Officer Newberry. 

Jared pushed by Newberry in the doorway, pulling the stretcher by him. Liam made sure the wheels of the stretcher hit and scuffed the spit polish of Newberry's boots very deeply. Newberry cursed and swore while looking at his damaged boots. 

They loaded him up and Jared told Liam to stay in the back to continue treatment. Jared got into the driver's seat and edged his way into traffic. He turned on the lights and siren and proceeded towards the hospital. As he was driving, Jared activated his cellphone and said "Call Sgt. Myers." The call went through. Jared asked for him to meet them at the hospital as there were some problems he needed help with. Sgt. Myers agreed and said he would be there in a few minutes. 

Jared killed the siren as they got to the hospital. He drove into the ambulance bay where a nurse was waiting to meet them. They pulled out the stretcher and pushed it into the treatment room. Liam gave them a verbal report and the hospital staff looked shocked at what Liam told them. They transferred the spine board over to the hospital examination table and then pulled their stretcher out. The Doctor reached over and pulled the blankets back to look at the footprint which had been described. 

While staring at the footprint embedded in the young man's skin, the Doctor spoke with anger. "Jared, are they going to get this son of a bitch? Who did it?" 

Liam was across from the Doctor and replied, "His father did it, and he's still out there somewhere." 

The Doctor locked eyes with Liam coldly. "I'm tired of seeing this shit; parents beating their children to the point where they die. This is the third one today, but the oldest. The previous ones were 3 and 8 years old. I don't care about the consequences but if his father shows up here, well I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by six." 

Liam nodded to the Doctor, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment. He reached out and set his hand on the back of the Doctors. Liam looked into the doctor's mind and memories. He had been beaten by his father and when he saw it, it brought up unresolved memories. He saw the Doctor was seeing a psychiatrist, but was resistant to opening up. Liam quickly placed a couple of ideas into his head. The first was to cooperate with the psychiatrist and work with her to find a path to healing. The second was to quit smoking. Finally, he would think of Jared and himself as friends and should he become self-destructive again, he would be compelled to seek them out before taking any action. Liam lifted his hand, and the Doctor shook his head as if he was trying to refocus on something. Their contact had only been for a couple of seconds, but that's all it took for Liam to move the Doctor back onto his path of life. 

Jared and Liam got their equipment together and headed out of the trauma room. 

Jared smiled at his partner. "You're getting good at that, Liam." 

"He needed it, Jared. Without a couple of suggestions, he was probably going to be dead before the end of the week." 

Jared raised one eyebrow in response to Liam's statement. As they were heading back to the unit, Sgt. Myers came into the bay through a side door. 

"What's up, Jared?" he asked. 

"Do you know an Officer Newberry?" 

"Yes I do. He is on my shift, general duties, but a self-righteous asshole if you ask me," Sgt. Myers replied without hesitation. 

As Jared and Liam changed the stretcher and cleaned the ambulance, he explained the conversation he had with Officer Newberry about the victim they had just brought in. He quoted Newberry's comment 'It's fitting the abomination came here to this den of sin to find help from his kind. He needed to get help to get his story straight to blame his father' to Sgt. Myers. 

Sgt. Myers listened without interrupting Jared. When Jared finished, Sgt. Myers sat and looked at him, obviously getting angry. "I've heard what you said, Jared, and believe you without hesitation. I want statements from the two of you, please." 

"Ok, no problem. We'll pull out of the bay and meet you in the hospital cafeteria in a couple of minutes," replied Jared. 

After parking the unit and updating dispatch, they caught the elevator to the basement and headed to the cafeteria. They arrived the same time as Sgt. Myers and all three got a meal from the cafeteria with Jared picking up the tab. 

While eating, Jared and Liam each wrote out their own statements. Jared also had Liam show his pictures of Conner's injuries to the Sergeant and then email him copies. After they had finished their statements as well as their meals, Jared looked at Liam who appeared to be in deep thought. 

"What's on your mind, Liam?" asked Jared. 

"I was just considering something. Why do they always have the morgue and the cafeteria in the basement of a hospital? Is there something going on with that? Like sharing coolers to cut costs?" Liam replied with a smirk. 

The sergeant started to laugh at Liam's comment. Jared reached up and slapped him on the back of the head. "Shhhhh," he said. "That's why the prices are cheap here for a burger. Do you want to let the secret out?" 

The sergeant recovered and said "By the way, while I appreciate the respect to my rank, call me Frank. Both of you can call me Frank. I will tell you, none of my men are allowed to call me by my first name and the first time they hear you two do it, their jaws will hit the floor. Our sense of humor in this job is so bad, isn't it? When we go into our usual restaurant to eat, they put us in the corner and won't put other customers near us. I guess talking about guts, gore and criminal acts turns some people's stomachs. I remember the first time I went to a fatal accident; the guys took me out for lasagna afterwards." 

They all chuckled and then Jared asked, "How's it going with your son?" 

"It is better between us now than it has been for years. He brought his boyfriend home to meet us, too. He's a nice guy. Jared, I don't know what happened to me to suddenly understand all this but I am very thankful something did. I've also changed churches to the one my son goes to. They preach of love, tolerance, peace, understanding and acceptance, and the whole service is great to be a part of, not like the old church. The old church's position on homosexuality was preaching everything short of outright killing them, and that was a mainline church. While I'm not gay, I understand and accept them as human beings and that knowledge has given me my son back." 

Jared smiled and looked at Frank. He had to ask the man a question and he was trying hard not to laugh while he did it. "Is that cat hair on your tie?" asked Jared. 

"Probably," he replied. "I gave in and let my daughter have a kitten. It's actually the cutest thing you have ever seen and when she's not at the house, it likes to curl up on me to sleep. She puts her paws around my neck like the little thing is hugging me. I hate to admit it, but I love the little thing. I only have my daughter with me a couple of times a month. My wife and I are divorced, but we get along really well and we share her between the two homes. Actually, having the kitten around the house reminds me of my daughter when she isn't there." 

"That's great to hear. What do you think about this problem with Officer Newberry?" 

"I'll deal with it. Newberry, Conner and his dad are all members of the same church and that church is even more out in left field than I one I left. Jared, I'll keep you both informed about what's going on. I appreciate you contacting me to look into this, not only to make sure Conner is treated fairly, but to prevent the disgrace of the entire Police force. I'm indebted to you." 

"No one is ever indebted to us Frank. We're all just walking the paths of life and able to help each other at times in our journey. It was planned that way my friend." 

"Jared, if you ever start your own church, let me know. I would fill the seats with people who want to hear from what you say about life." 

"Thanks Frank," said Jared. They got up, shook hands and headed out. 

They went up to the Intensive Care Ward and stopped at the Nursing Station. They were told he was in bed 5. 

Jared and Liam found him lying on the bed looking more comfortable than when they saw him last time. Jared and Liam looked at the equipment he was hooked up to and then smiled at each other. A Doctor was passing by when he saw Jared. 

"Long time, no see, Jared... Liam, you too," he said extending his hand to them both. They shook. "He's doing better, Jared. We are still waiting for some tests to come back and he's going for a CAT scan soon. There were no spinal injuries but it was a good precaution on your part to immobilize him. We're worried about the possibility of small bleeders in his head and maybe something in his abdomen. What confuses me is his hemoglobin count is way down consistent with him suffering a more serious internal injury, but nothing is showing up except an explosive round of melena with no cause. It's real unusual but we'll keep testing to figure it out, or rule out everything we can." 




Paramedic Pt. 09



"Thanks Doctor. Please send me a text if anything changes or he wakes up," said Jared. Jared filled the Doctor in on the assault, and the reasons for it. Jared also recommended Conner be placed on a 'no visitors' status, including the police and his father. The exceptions to this rule would be Zane or Sgt. Frank Myers. If any police show up, they were to call Sgt. Myers immediately and tell him. 

"I will document it on his chart for you Jared, and it will be written as an order to be followed," he replied. "Why so specific about the police who have access to him?' 

Jared and Liam explained the problem with Officer Newberry. The Doctor just shook his head in disbelief. "I know this type of thinking still exists but it shocks me every time I hear it firsthand." 

They left the hospital and got into their unit. It had been very quiet while they were in the hospital. Jared phoned Rob and brought him up to speed on the call as well as the problem with Officer Newberry. Jared told him they were going to go back to the LGBT Center and talk with Zane. Rob had no problem with that and told them to make sure they had their radios with them. 

Zane invited them into the coffee room to relax for a few minutes. Jared filled him in everything he knew. He also mentioned they had met with Sgt. Myers and discussed Officer Newberry's attitude with him. Jared told Zane the sergeant may come by and take a statement from him as well. 

They all got a cup of fresh Guatemalan coffee and sat down. They chatted back and forth for a bit. 

Jared stood, put his coffee cup in the dishwasher and said, "Time to hit the road, cutie." 

Both Liam and Zane answered together they were ready and started to laugh. Jared gave them the finger and said to Liam, "You're riding in the back cabinet until we get a call. Zane can be the eye candy up front with me." 

Liam gave an exaggerated pout and the finger to Jared. 

They drove to the base to fill up with gas and had just started when a call came in for them. It was another case of chest pains. The call went like clockwork and they were soon dropping the patient off at the hospital. 

It was near the end of their shift so they returned to base and went over their unit to make sure everything was stocked up. 

The next morning, after their run and a quick snack, they arrived at the base. After grabbing their radios, they went to the shift room and as usual, Rob was sitting there looking at papers. 

The boys greeted him and found out they were on floater again today. 

"Melanie sent me a message and said she would be here about noon. I can't thank you enough Jared and by the way, my wife is quite happy now. But, she did give me shit for not speaking up earlier to the boss. She has no clue, Jared," laughed Rob. 

Liam spoke up, "That's great, Rob. We're both happy to hear it." He turned to Jared and asked, "To the hospital to check on Conner?" 

"Good idea, Liam," replied Jared. 

"Do I want to know?" asked Rob. 

"It's the kid we picked up yesterday at the LGBT Center. He has no one, and has been disowned by his family. So we are sort of going to try and find out if we can help him," said Jared. 

"You really do have a big heart, Jared, and that goes for your little sidekick, too," said Rob. 

Liam stuck his tongue out at Rob. 

They left the base and headed to the hospital. There were seven other units on the road today and so far it had been quiet. They parked and advised dispatch by radio where they would be if needed. Liam sent a text message to Josh and Tyler and asked them if they could drop by the hospital to meet with Conner. 

The two of them went up to the ICU and checked in at the Nurses Station. Conner had a quiet night and seemed to be doing better but not out of the woods yet. They still were monitoring for bleeds. He was going into surgery to place pins in his arm later today. The nurse told him Conner was one of the nicest young men she had met in a long time, but he was pulling himself into a shell. They were all worried about him psychologically as well as physically. Jared let the nurses know Tyler and Josh may be up to visit and the no police rule didn't apply to them. 

They went down to the room and knocked at the door. When there was no answer, they went in anyways. Conner was lying in bed, the TV on but low in volume, just staring at the ceiling with open eyes. 

Jared spoke "Conner?" 

Conner looked over at him, "Yes?" 

"I'm Jared, and this is Liam. We're the paramedics who were on duty yesterday and we dropped in to see how it's going." 

"I appreciate what you guys did, but I've nothing to live for now. I have no money, no clothing, no home, and no family." 

Liam spoke up, "We heard that yesterday and that's part of the reason we came to visit you. You have at least two friends, us." 

Conner looked at them both for a moment and didn't say anything. 

Liam and Jared got chairs and pulled them up next to the bed. 

"Conner, there are many times in life a person needs help. There are other times a person needs someone to lean on. Hopefully it never happens to anyone but sometimes they also fall and need someone to catch them. You fell, and we caught you," said Jared. 

Conner sat and looked at them for a moment before saying, "You're wasting your time. I'm an abomination in the eyes of God. My father was right, I should have died." 

Jared spoke quickly, "Your father is wrong. The Creator loves all of his children with no restrictions. All of mankind are brothers and sisters." 

Conner spoke, "I hear you, but I can't believe it. I've been taught for years that gay is choice, a lifestyle and its evil. Satan is behind making people gay." 

Liam spoke up, "Conner, I'm gay and came out to my parents at 14." Liam told Conner about his coming out and the relationship his parents had with him until they died. 

"Really? They didn't mind and still loved you?" asked Conner. 

"Absolutely. That's what the Creator intended. Parents loving their children, and their children loving them back," explained Liam. "One of the best things I remember about my mom and dad was their hugs. We gave each other hugs all the time, even when I had left for college I still got and gave hugs when we got together." 

"I can't remember the last time I had a hug," said Conner with a tear leaking out his eyes. 

Jared then spoke up, "Conner, I'm gay as well. In fact, Liam and I are not only partners at work, but we are boyfriends as well." 

"You're serious?" Conner said with a bit of enthusiasm in his voice. 

"Yes Conner, its true," Jared replied. Jared looked at Liam and took his hand into his. 

"Wow, you guys seem so normal. Sorry, I mean you don't seem... aw fuck," said a frustrated Conner. 

"Conner, slow down. We're prepared to answer your questions but we don't want to overload you. You're still in a hospital and going for surgery this afternoon to pin your arm. We will have lots of time to talk," said Jared. 

"I can't stay, Jared. I have to get out of here. Hospitals are expensive and I have nothing," said Conner. 

"Conner, your expenses are covered and even your TV. The only thing not covered is pornos," laughed Jared. 

Liam then added, "Yes, it's true. There is a hospital fund set up for young people who need help. The fund is covering everything. If you want some pornos, let me know and I will sneak them in for you." 

"Liam!" said Jared. 

"Ok. Jared will sneak them in," said Liam. 

"Liam! That's not what I meant either," Jared said. 

They both looked over at Conner and he was smiling, trying not to laugh because it hurt so much. "Are you two always like this?" he asked. 

"No," said Jared at the same time Liam said, "Yes." 

Conner started to laugh, and then winced in pain. "You two are ok," he said. "Do you really want to be my friends?" he asked. 

Liam spoke, "Of course we want to be your friends." 

"I wanted to be a paramedic, but my dad said faggots aren't allowed and don't deserve good jobs," said Conner. "God's people, or straights, get the important jobs." 

"He was as wrong as Liam in a dress," said Jared. Jared leaned over to Conner and said, "His legs are too hairy and they are ugly." 

"What's wrong with my legs?" asked Liam as he lifted a leg and pulled his pant leg up for everyone to see. 

Conner started to laugh again. "You guys are unreal." 

There was a knock at the door and a two heads popped in, one above the other. 

"Are you guys decent?" asked Josh. The door opened and two large good looking policemen entered the room and closed the door. 

Conner looked scared. Jared stood and said, "Conner, these two guys are our brothers, Josh and Tyler." 

"Your brothers?" asked Conner. 

"It's a long story, but we're brothers. None of us have family anymore so we became our own. We have two other brothers as well. One of them is a paramedic and the other is a fireman" explained Jared. 

"Which one is which?" Conner asked Liam pointing at the two new arrivals. 

"It's easier to tell them apart when they are naked, Josh is the smaller one," said Liam. He then held his hand up and separated his fingers about 3 inches apart. 

Josh leaned forward and smacked the back of Liam's head slightly and said, "Asshole!" 

Conner started laughing again. 

Jared looked at Josh and Tyler. "You know Conner's background and story right?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, we do," said Josh. "Tyler has been assigned the investigation. Officer Newberry is on meter ticket duty until the sergeant figures out what to do with him." 

Tyler stepped forward. "You have nothing to fear from us, Conner. We're both gay and have boyfriends. My boyfriend is a paramedic and Josh's is a firefighter." Tyler leaned down and whispered, "Josh doesn't have high standards. When you have a small dick, you date anything including a fire fighter." 

Josh stepped over and tried to give Tyler a pinch on the ass. 

Conner was laughing again. "Are you sure you guys aren't really related? You are all nutcases!" 

"But seriously, Conner, I'm the investigator on your assault now and I'd like to get a statement from you," said Tyler. 

Conner looked at him, and then at Jared who nodded his head. "Ok," said Conner. 

Jared's and Liam's radios warbled. They were needed for a transfer from the hospital to a nursing home on the edge of the city. 

"Duty calls," said Liam. "We'll check in on you after our shift, Conner. Maybe even bring some real food for you to eat." 

"Pizza?" asked Conner. 

"Well, maybe this time," replied Jared. 

The four brothers hugged and Jared left with Liam. Tyler got his note pad out and commenced taking Conner's statement. An hour later it was done and Tyler handed it to Conner, asking him to read it over. It took him a few minutes to read all the pages and afterwards, he signed the bottom of each page, handing it back to Tyler. 

"I have a medical release here for to you sign as well, Conner. It gives us the authority to obtain a copy of your diagnosis and treatment for this assault as well as any photos or diagnostic imaging the hospital did." 

Conner signed that paper as well and handed it back to Tyler. 

"Conner, now I need to ask you one question not as a policeman but as a concerned friend. Have you been sexually active or at least had safe sex?" 

Conner blushed and replied, "No, nothing at all." 

"Good, I was going to suggest you get a blood test to confirm no problems resulting from sex but as you haven't had any, it's not necessary." 

"Thanks for your concern, Tyler, and it was a good idea. I can't believe I told you I am still a virgin, unless jacking counts," said Conner. 

"No, it doesn't count," Josh chuckled. "If it did, that would mean I lost my virginity at 9." 

The three chuckled. 

"Thanks for your cooperation, Conner," said Tyler. "When we're dealing with your dad, we'll be seeking for him to remain in custody but I think he will be released. So we will be asking for conditions of no contact with you, directly or indirectly. What about the rest of your family. Will they be a problem?" 

"No, I don't think so. Mom was powerless to stop him but every time he beat me, she would help me out afterwards when it was safe. I have a younger brother who is 17 and still at the house. I'm concerned about his safety," replied Conner. 

"Why's that?" asked Josh. 

"As far as I know, he's straight. He and I are close because we aren't allowed to hang out with anyone outside of the church except when we are in school sports. He got a fair share of beatings as well when his teams didn't win or his marks weren't what dad thought were high enough," said Conner. 

Tyler thought for minute and decided to take another statement, with a wider scope to cover what they had just spoken about. Just as he was to start, a nurse came in to check Conner's vital signs. After completing that task, she left. Tyler took another 45 minutes to get everything down on paper, which Conner signed as before. 

The two policemen were just getting ready to leave when the Doctor came in and informed Conner he would be heading for surgery in a couple of hours to pin his broken arm. He also told him the CAT scan report was back, and everything was indicating his internal bleeding had stopped. Conner would be moved out of the ICU after the surgery and into a private room within the surgery ward. He figured if everything went well, he could probably get out in a couple of days. 

"Conner," the Doctor started "We've noted some other issues and we will be scheduling a social worker to visit with you and have a chat. Don't worry, I don't think you insane or anything, especially when I compare you to those two," he said pointing at the two policemen. They were both making innocent faces and gestures of 'Who, Me?' 

The Doctor continued, "I just want her to talk with you and see how you are coping with your situation, and maybe even be able to help you adjust." 

Conner was listening to every word. "I appreciate your concern, Doctor, and appreciate what you are doing for me. I have four new friends and I'm sure they will help, too. I know what they have said to me has helped already." 

The doctor smiled and said, "If you are mixed up with these two as well as Jared and Liam, I know things will work out. This isn't the first time these guys have helped someone." 

Josh and Tyler gave their farewells, and left Conner talking with the doctor. In the elevator, Josh said, "Nice kid, isn't he?" 

"He sure seems it," replied Tyler. "I have to go talk with his father now. You want to back me up, Joshie?" 

"Absolutely, buddy," he replied. 

They got into their cars and headed over to Conner's home. Josh pulled up in front while Tyler parked two houses down and walked to meet Josh at his car. They went out of service with dispatch at the address. They approached the house and even before knocking, they noticed the front door was open and they could see into the house through the screen door. 

On the floor there was a set of legs in view, toes pointed down; the rest of the person hidden behind the wall of the hallway. 

The two policemen moved into the house, guns drawn, cautiously moving in towards the victim. Tyler hit the emergency button on his radio carefully. It was immediately followed by the police dispatch calling units by number and giving the address to respond Code 4. They checked the kitchen and living room, yelling clear at each other as they progressed. They slowly went through the rest of the house and found it clear as well. The house didn't have a basement so it was a short search. There was a woman, face down in the hallway with a large pool of drying blood around her head. While they were clearing the house, they had found a young man in a pool of blood in what was most likely his bedroom. Neither person had a pulse when they checked. This didn't surprise either of them as the injuries were most likely caused by gunshots and the injuries appeared to be inconsistent with the continuance of life. There were 9mm casing near the bodies. 

Tyler's cell phone rang and he answered it. It was Sgt. Myers, and Tyler explained what they had going on and the suspect they wanted to interview was on the run. 

"Sgt. Myers, I don't think either one is alive, but the paramedics can confirm it when they get here. It looks like Conner's mother and brother from the family portraits smashed on the floor," said Tyler. 

"Understood, Tyler. We'll be there in a couple of minutes," Sgt. Myers replied. 

The two of them heard the multitude of sirens in the distance converging on the crime scene. Josh went to meet them at the door. 

Jared and Liam had heard the dispatch for the assault victims in a home. They were still tied up on their transfer so the call was given to another crew. The dispatched crew had arrived on scene within a few moments, shortly thereafter calling dispatch to advise them by code of the patients being DOA and they were on standby at the scene for statements, but available for a call if needed. 

Josh was in the back attending to the transfer patient when his cell phone rang. The call display showed it was Josh. 

Jared answered the phone and simply said, "Go ahead, Josh." 

Josh explained the situation they found at Conner's house. He also advised the father, the most likely suspect, was on the run. 

Jared thought for a minute and then said, "Can you get someone to babysit Conner? If he's on the run, and from what Conner has said about him is right, he is unstable enough to try and finish the job by shooting Conner. We'll try and get back to the hospital to stay with Conner. When you do the notification, we want to be there to pick up the pieces." 

"I'll deal with it," said Josh. "Sgt. Myers is here and I'll ask him." 

Jared hung up the phone and moved up the front of the ambulance where he could speak with Liam. 

"You heard?" said Jared. 

"Just your end, Jared," said Liam. Jared filled him on the rest of the conversation. 

"This is going to get rough, Liam" said Jared. Liam just nodded. 

They finished their transfer and cleared with dispatch. Another call was dispatched to them almost immediately to head to a school. A grade 6 student had fallen off playground equipment and hurt his leg. Liam drove the ambulance normally for this type of call. Upon arrival they found a fairly husky young man with a lower leg injury. The leg was bending in an area where there was no joint for it to do so. The two paramedics treated the leg, splinted it, and loaded the child up on the stretcher, heading to the hospital. 

After unloading and restocking the unit, they parked it with the intention of going upstairs to see Conner. Tyler pulled up in his car and rolled the window down. 

"He just went in for surgery. Conner will be in there a couple of hours and then with pain medications, he won't be able to be told until morning. They're going to make sure he sleeps through the night. There is a police officer with him now and until Conner leaves the hospital," explained Tyler. 

"Thanks, Tyler," said Jared. "Considering the circumstances, I have a feeling our family is going to grow by one person." 

"I expected as much, Jared," said Tyler. "Josh told me that before I got here." 

"I've had that feeling since we picked him up. Jared had that look on his face," said Liam. "I guess we can head back to base to see what is going on and a coffee." 

"Sounds like a plan, Liam," said Jared. "Melanie should be here by now and I bet she has people running by now." 

"Melanie is here?" asked Tyler with a smile. 

Jared smiled and said, "Yup. John will be here tomorrow. They're here to help Rob get things back on track." 

"Liam hasn't met Melanie yet, has he?" asked Tyler. 

"No. He will when we get there," replied Jared. 




Paramedic Pt. 09



In the most serious tone he could use, Tyler said "Liam, it has been great getting to know you. But, not even Josh and I can protect you from the Dragon Lady. Remember Liam, she takes real pride in the name of Dragon Lady that she was given." 

Liam looked at Tyler and to Jared. They both had smiles on their faces. Liam gave them both the finger and got back into the ambulance. 

Jared watched and said, "I better get in before he leaves without me." He waved at Tyler as he ran to the unit and jumped in. 

They drove to the base and backed into the bay. There wasn't another ambulance parked at the base, and that was unusual. In fact, as they pulled up to the base they had noted there were no staff members anywhere. The only activity was the workmen putting in new upgraded cameras on the outside and inside of the base. There was an attractive woman outside watching what they were doing. She was about 5'6", with olive skin and jet black braided hair to her waist. 

As Jared got out of the unit, she ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "How are you doing, cuz? You're looking so good, Jared." They exchanged kisses on each other's cheeks. 

"I'm great Mel and you're looking good, too. Your hair is beautiful and I haven't seen it braided like that for a long time. You really do look like a beautiful Indian Princess," exclaimed Jared. 

"So this is Liam," she said as she stepped back from Jared. "Bit on the skinny side, isn't he?" She gave Liam a big smile and wrapped him in a big hug. 

"Will you join us for dinner tonight, and we can talk openly? Not like around here," asked Jared. 

"Of course I will and I've already booked a booth at Pierre's place for 8:00 pm. There is nobody else here right now anyway except us and the workmen. The medics just seemed to disappear for some reason," said Melanie with a smile. Melanie was watching the workers again and let out a holler which would raise the dead, "I told you that camera was to cover the dead spot over there! Adjust it before I kick your ass!" 

The man on the ladder looked at her. "Take a pill, cuz. I'll fix it," he said. 

"Take a pill? Take a pill? I am going to kick your ass like I have been for the past 20 years, you little rug rat," she ranted. 

Liam laughed, "Another cousin? Is this a family business?" 

Melanie turned to Liam and spoke, "Large family, really large, about half the reserve and most of them work for Bear Investments. Working keeps them out of trouble, especially with me as their boss." 

Liam smiled and asked, "Is that where the Dragon Lady comes from?" 

Jared ducked and put both hands over his head. The man up the ladder said, "Oh shit," and then slid down the side, assuming a similar position to Jared behind the ladder. 

The young worker called over to Jared, "Oh shit, did he call her what I think he did?" 

Jared lifted his head slightly, "Yes, he did. It's too bad, he was a good partner." 

Liam was watching this and turned to look at Melanie. She had her hands on her hips, her shoulders squared with an angry look on her face. Her eyes appeared to be almost black to Liam. 

She marched up to Liam and stood in front of him. Being shorter, she looked up at him. Liam was actually concerned about this lady now and tried to step backwards, but she followed him. A couple of steps later, his back was against the ambulance they had parked and she was still in front of him. 

"Who are you talking to, little man?" Melanie asked with ice in her voice. "I have chewed up and spit out bigger guys than you. You are a scrawny little twerp, no muscle of any size on those bones. Do you hear me?" 

Liam's body was shaking by now. She turned her head and barked at the man installing the cameras. "If you are still on the ground by the time I walk over there, your ass is getting kicked!" she yelled. The man got up and climbed the ladder quickly. 

Melanie looked at Jared, "You little asshole, Jared. Did you set him up or was it that good for nothing flatfoot, Tyler. It was one of the two of you because none of your other friends have enough balls to do it." 

Liam squeaked when speaking like he was going through puberty again. "Tyler, he told me. I didn't know," he stammered. 

"You god damned college graduates are good for nothing. He didn't tell you that was my name in the Marines when I was a Drill Sergeant?" 

"No, ma'am" Liam said. 

"That's No Sir, you maggot," Melanie yelled into his face. "Wait till I get my hands on his scrawny little ass," she said. She stepped back and then a smile spread on her face. Gone were the hardened facial expressions of a drill sergeant, replaced by a beautiful smile showing her teeth. 

"You were set up, you little twerp," she said. Jared and the man on the ladder started laughing. Jared was laughing so hard, he fell over onto his back. 

Liam looked at them for a moment, running everything through his mind again, and then said, "You are both assholes, including Tyler." 

Melanie started laughing too. Liam just blushed. "You know, Jared, he's not a bad kid," said Melanie as she hugged Liam. She then added, "Let's go talk to Rob." 

They headed to Rob's office where Mel knocked at the door while entering. Rob looked up, "Jared, Liam, you guys are finally here," he said with a smile. "Come in, come in, and pull up a seat." They did so while Melanie was closing the door. 

She turned and looked at Liam, raising her voice she barked at him, "You're in my chair, boy!" Liam jumped up and over one chair. She sat down like a delicate lady. Rob and Jared were snickering. 

Rob looked at Liam and said, "You should see the crews running since she got here. If they weren't on a call, they were scrubbing the garage and the outside of the building. She told them they were making good money to work, not sit on their asses and watch TV. Not one of the units has returned after a call. They are all driving around or having coffee in the community. Melanie, if I wasn't married I would propose to you." 

"Your ass is too small," she replied. "Small ass means small dick." 

Everyone started to laugh. 

"Let's get to business," said Melanie. 

"She reviewed everything going on around the base. The cameras at the base would be finished in a couple of hours. They have been installing the cameras in the units when the crews were out doing some manual labour. Jared's was the last one to be finished. The cameras in the units would download automatically when the unit was packed in the garage. The cameras around and in the base would be fed wirelessly. Rob would have a large screen added to his office which was a duplicate of what was being recorded. A fake computer and hard drive were going to be installed in Robs office as a decoy if anyone wanted to cause problems. 

"The investigators have been in place a few hours and have taped the crew, who were supposed to be sick, were out cutting their lawns and doing other outdoor work. They have been meeting at Tim's house for the last couple of hours, drinking beer and boasting about what they were doing. The investigators have a parabolic mic recording everything the crew said outside in public. They have also been told to continue for another 48 hours so we have lots of material to use. 

"Now that we know where they are, we've dispatched two of the security people with letters for each of the employees, advising them of the acknowledgement of their illness and informing them of the requirement for notes from their doctors covering the illness. The other condition of no pay for their sick days is to be included as well. The two security people are going in as meter readers. The meter is next to the deck and they will talk their way into the group. Actually, it should be happening about now. They weren't sent out under Rob's signature from the ambulance service, they were on my letterhead and my signature as the Executive Assistant to the CEO/President. 

"I've already contacted a head hunter organization for a HR person and they should get back to me tomorrow. I've also posted an ad to hire 5 more paramedics with immediate start dates," said Melanie. "You are going to need replacements for your little group who will be fired. 

"Rob and I also reviewed the vehicle maintenance files and have ordered three new units for the base. One is extra and two replacements. We can sell the old units and I already have them listed. One of the new units is for you, Jared. As the new Paramedic Field Trainer, you will have dual stretchers with extra equipment for teaching purposes and handling special situations." 

"Wait one minute," said Jared. "I'm not the Paramedic Field Trainer." 

"Yes you are, as of this afternoon. I promoted you," said Rob with a smile. 

"I didn't ask for that," said Jared. 

"No, you didn't," started Rob, "but after talking with Melanie, who agreed, it is giving up some of my own duties to someone who will do a good job. It's a done deal, Jared, or do I have to call the boss. He told me he trusted my decisions..." 

"You've created a monster! Dragon Lady, you have made a good man into your evil apprentice," said Jared. "I'll do it, to help out Rob as long as Liam is still assigned as my partner." 

"No problems, Jared. You can still have the little guy with you. Rob and I are going to go through the personnel files tomorrow and take a look at the employees here and learn about them. It's also time for some time-wasters to be cleaned out and replaced with good, enthusiastic people. Your shift is fine, Jared, but I am sure we are thinking of the same people on the others." 

Liam asked, "Do I get a new job and title, too?" 

Melanie looked at him and calmly replied, "Toilet Bitch, as you will be in charge of the washroom detail." 

Liam gave her the finger. 

"I really like this kid, Jared," said Melanie. 

The meeting broke up after Jared told everyone what a great job they had done. He also thanked them for their hard work. Rob had commented if Melanie came down a couple of days every week, they wouldn't need an HR person. 

Melanie told him not a chance of an ice cube surviving in hell, and he could go fuck himself while he was delivering the ice cube. 

Jared and Liam went out to the ambulance bay and cleaned up their unit as well as washing it. The end of the shift came quickly. The crews returned about 15 minutes before the end of their shift. When the new crew came in, there was a lot of talk about the ads for new paramedics, an HR person, and they had also heard from Timmy about being served with a letter. One of the staff asked if the lady who was terrorizing the day crew had gone home yet. Jared just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. 

Melanie came through the door and looked at the group. Before she could even say anything, they all scattered like rats off a sinking ship except for Jared and Liam. Not one of them were left in the ambulance bay or even within eyesight in seconds. 

"Ready for dinner, cuz?" she asked. 

"We just have to change out of our uniforms" replied Jared. 

"Can I come and watch? I want to check out that impressive package on Liam. He's cute enough to be on the light side," she said. 

Liam blushed and ran for the change room. "He's still shy, Melanie," laughed Jared. 

After getting changed, they grabbed a taxi over to Pierre's restaurant. They laughed and talked half the night, usually at Jared's expense. Melanie told stories about her and Jared growing up. She was older by 6 years so she helped Grandfather to look after him a lot. 

Melanie spoke, "I think it is time to call it a night, guys. We have to work in the morning." After she paid the bill, they were standing inside the front door when Mel hugged each one of them and kissed them on the cheek. She then said, "Jared, don't let this one get away from you, he is cute." 

The two of them looked at her in shock. They could hear Pierre burst into laughter around the corner in the hallway. Jared yelled around the corner to him, "Payback, you know what they say about that, don't you, Pierre. It goes like this - Payback is a Melanie!" 

Jared's head moved as Melanie cuffed him. They left the restaurant and got into the taxis with one heading to the apartment and the other to Melanie's Hotel. 

When the boys got back to the apartment, they tore each other's clothes off. There was a sense of urgency from them both as they made love quickly but passionately. After they both had cum, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Chapter 10 

They took a taxi into work as they had left their vehicle at the base knowing they would be having a few drinks with supper. For the years they had both worked in Emergency Services, they had seen the dead or injured resulting from mixing having a good night and driving under the influence. Jared had vowed never to do it like his dad had done many times. 

After Jared and Liam had changed into their uniforms and grabbed their radios, they went into the shift change room. The night crew and oncoming day crew were all there with Rob and Melanie at the front of the room. Jared and Liam quietly stayed in the back of the room. 

Melanie noticed them, but didn't acknowledge the two men joining the meeting. Rob was just finishing his speech and asked if anyone had questions. No one had any. 

When there were no questions, Melanie spoke, "The CEO/President of the company has become very concerned about this location. Between the sudden illnesses, the thefts and damages, he is concerned things like this could jeopardize our patient's safety as yours as a staff member. To make it crystal clear, he wanted me to make sure you understand he will not tolerate it. You are treated very well here with top wages and working conditions. In return, you are expected to perform your duties to the best of your abilities. If any of you don't like this, come see me after this meeting and I will personally hold the door for you to leave so it doesn't hit you in the ass. Questions?" 

"That's intimidation and bullying," said one of the paramedics. Melanie looked at the group. "Whoever said the comment, please be an adult and stand. I will give you an honest answer." 

No one moved. "Someone made a valid comment, please stand so I can answer it. I do not address anonymous comments, but I answer an employee's valid question with the best answer I can give," said Melanie. 

Slowly, Geoff got up and stood. "I made the comment," he said. 

Melanie walked over so she was near to him. "Thank you for standing, I believe it is Geoff, isn't it?" 

Geoff looked shocked and nodded his head. 

"I went through everyone's personnel files yesterday to familiarize myself with you guys. Geoff, you have been here 2 years, right out of college which was right out of high school. You had a couple of part time jobs during school." She looked at the group and continued, "Geoff, it is a pleasure to meet you. You've been a good employee here and you had good marks in college as well. You've attended all training sessions here at the base and asked for more to improve yourself. You can sit down Geoff while I finish my speech," she said with a smile. He sat down with a very big smile on his face. 

"Geoff asked the question some of you had on your mind. That shows leadership. He stood when I asked him and that shows maturity. Is what we are doing intimidation and bullying? I will tell you no. We are providing an essential service which puts your lives at risk as well as responding to life or death situations of our clients. We will not compromise that service and risk any person's health, safety or life. The employer has the right to manage its business, and that's what we're doing. Most of you in this room are already doing your best for us, others could do better, and there may even be a person or two is performing under the acceptable level. We will take time to help every person here to be the best they can do at this job, if you want it.  

"Let me ask you this people. Do you guys like covering for people who call in sick when you know they aren't? Gives you extra work and pisses you off, am I right?" She waited for the crowd to react. There were a few murmurs as a few people nodded their heads and whispered to the person next to them. 

Melanie moved to one side of the table where she had seen some heads nodding. "Do you guys like it when someone doesn't show up for work and gives a chicken shit excuse because he partied too much or wants a day at the beach instead of using his vacation time?" The group was shaking heads at this and Melanie even heard "no way" being murmured by a couple of them. 

She moved to the other side of the group and looked directly at them. "How many of you guys work your ass off and know of someone coasting on the job and managing to avoid the work?" She had them eating out her hands now as the group was getting louder with their agreement. 

"Do you like it when you pick your unit up at the beginning of the shift and it wasn't cleaned, restocked or filled up with gas without a good reason?" 

Melanie had the crowd really eating out her hands now. They were even answering her out loud so they could be heard when she asked questions. 

Melanie then stood at the front of the room and crossed her arms. "We have good people here working at this base. I am proud to have most of you as employees. This is a young person's job and most of you were like Geoff who never had a full time job or previous experience when we hired him. We took a chance and gave Geoff and many of you the same chance. We believe in you and we are giving you the training and experience you wanted in return for you to provide us with your work. It is not bullying to expect 12 hours of work for 12 hours of pay. It is not bullying to expect you to be honest with us and not to abuse sick time. When you call in sick, the rest of your shift has to make up for the shortage and we could kill someone because we weren't able to respond! This ambulance service is part of group of companies owned by multi-million dollar company run by a very smart man. He is committed to this service and will do anything to keep the good employees, but has also said to clean out the ones who do not measure up. The owner has a tremendous tolerance for mistakes, goofs, bad choices or bad decisions and even a few fuck ups. But he will never tolerate lying, cheating or doing anything which jeopardizes your or any patients' safety. You know what is expected of you and today it is a clean slate. Go forward from today and do your best job. Questions anyone?" 

Geoff stood and started to applaud along with many of the others. The ones who remained seated were already on Melanie's cross hairs from what she read about them in the files. 

"Get the fuck out and go to work, or go home and get to bed. Dismissed troops!" she yelled. A couple even answered, "Aye aye sir." Melanie smiled at them. Both of their dad's had been in the Marines and they had recognized the well-practiced technique Melanie had been using for leading the meeting. 

Melanie and Rob mixed with the staff who remained while Jared and Liam stepped outside to listen to the comments being made by the staff after the speeches. Everything being said was positive and even a few 'About time they got Tim' comments were heard. The two of them had just finished their inventory when Rob came to the back of the ambulance and asked them to come to his office. 

They walked in to find Melanie already there. Rob closed the door and said to Jared, "Can we clone her?" 

Liam and Jared said together, "God, I hope not, one is fucking hard enough to handle." They both got cuffed in the back of the head by Melanie as she snuck in behind them. 

Rob then looked at the two and said, "We have enough people today to keep you guys together. We pulled some full timers in with over time and back filled them with the part timers. You guys are floaters today as usual." 

"Rob, we are going up to the hospital today and..." Jared explained what had happened with Conner and then Conner's family. The notification of the family's deaths would be done this morning with Jared and Liam's help. They thought the two of them could be tied up for a while. 

Rob thought for a moment and then looked at Melanie. "You finished your time in the Medical Corps, didn't you?" 

"Yes I did, and I'm still a registered paramedic for the volunteer service on the reserve," replied Melanie. 

Jared coughed and gagged. 

Melanie looked at him and smiled. "I stand corrected Rob. It is a well-paid volunteer ambulance service and although it is a community ambulance, Bear Investment Group provides funding and equipment to make it one of the best equipped services in the country." She looked at Jared and said, "Good enough?" 

He smiled back at her. "You look so cute when you're humble, Cuz." 

She stuck her tongue out at him. 

Rob broke in before the two cousins could continue their banter. "Let's get you out in the trenches for the morning, Mel. You and I will run floater to cover these two off while they work with kid who has lost so much," said Rob. 

"I like the idea," said Melanie. "What have you got for me to wear? Maybe we can even have coffee with a couple of the crews and talk with them to find out what is really going on. Plus it gets your fat ass out of the office and moving around." 

Rob laughed, "At least my ass has some padding. Your hard ass clunks when you sit on a chair." 

Melanie stood and looked at him and started laughing almost uncontrollably. "You're the first non-family member to stand up to me in years. Shit, it is too bad you're married, even with that small ass of yours." 

They both laughed. 

Jared leaned over to Liam and whispered, "A paper bag would help." Liam started giggling. Neither of them saw the hand which delivered the slaps to the back of their heads. 

Rob was laughing. "You two, take the Supervisor SUV to go to the hospital before Melanie quits toying with you and actually hurts you. Keep your radios on you in case all hell breaks loose though. Finally, may God be with you this morning, and if there is anything we can do to help you, let me know," said Rob. 

Melanie then spoke up, "I forgot, John said he would arrive after lunch. He can spend the afternoon with Rob and myself, and then talk to you at your apartment over supper. He needs to leave in the morning by 1000 hrs. I will get him to the crossover shift tomorrow and he can make whatever announcements he wants, such as your new job. I hope there is information from our investigators today which seals the fate of the four troublemakers." 

Jared spoke, "Would you also remind John I wanted information on the "church of the poison mind" where Conner had belonged." Melanie acknowledged by nodding her head to him. 

They got to the hospital with no problems and went up to the room. They had called Tyler and he was on his way. The got upstairs to Conner's new room and were talking with the policeman on duty outside his door when Tyler arrived. 

"Hey guys," Tyler said as he came up. 

"Anything new Tyler?" asked Liam. 

"Not yet. We have 100% confirmation of the brother and mom, but dad is still missing. There is a warrant out for him and hopefully soon we will locate him. The hard job is inside this room. You ready brothers?" asked Tyler. 

"Who's lead," asked Jared. 

"I think you will be on this one, Jared. You developed a bit of a relationship with him yesterday," replied Tyler. 

"Ok, let's go." 

They entered the room and found Conner lying on the bed, half asleep. He woke up more when he saw his three new friends come through the door. He brightened up and said, "Hey guys. I'm happy to see you." 

Jared smiled and reached over to give him a hug. He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Conner. He thought to himself how anyone could hate this young man. 

"Conner, your dad is on the run from police, and he probably has a gun," said Jared. 

"Is that why the police officers have been outside my door since just before I went in for the surgery?" Conner asked. 

"Yes it is, Conner. Your father has been on the run since Tyler and Josh went to the house to interview him about your assault," stated Jared. 

"He snapped, didn't he? He finally snapped." Conner hesitated for a minute, and then looked at Jared. "Where are my mom and brother?" 

Jared looked at him and said, "Your father shot them both to death before he went on the run. We have no clue why at this time." 

Conner sat and looked at Jared, Tyler and Liam individually, as if he was searching their faces for a punch line to a joke. 

Jared spoke quietly to Conner, "We made a commitment to you yesterday to be your friends, and we stand by that 100% Conner. There is no mistake, although I wish there was, your brother and mother are dead by the hand of your father." 

Conner's face was losing colour when he asked Liam, "This is the truth, Liam?" 

Liam nodded his head and said, "Yes it is, Conner." 

His eyes were beginning to water as Conner looked at Tyler and asked, "Is this the truth, Tyler?" Tyler nodded his head and added, "I found them in the house." 

Conner sat still as tears slowly began to leak out of his eyes. "Jared, will anyone hate me if I cry? I was beaten when I cried at home but I feel like I want too." 

Jared reached forward and hugged him. Conner let loose with his tears and was soon sobbing. He put his cheek on Jared's chest as he was held tightly. Conner began to cry out loud finally. He started to reach his arms to hug Jared, but pulled back twice. 

Jared whispered to him, "You can hug me Conner, I don't mind." Conner immediately grabbed him as hard as could with one good arm and the other in a cast. His body was shaking as he cried. Liam came up one side and Tyler the other. They sat on the bed, reached out and placed one hand on his shoulder and the other one rubbing his back in circles. 

In a few moments, Conner slowed down his sobbing. Jared sensed he was sobbing for more than the deaths of his mother and brother. Conner spoke but was barely understandable, "I have no one." 

Jared quietly said to him, "We made a promise to you that we would stand by you. You're a friend of ours now and friends look out for each other. When you get out of the hospital, you're moving in with Liam and me. We have a spare bedroom we'll get ready for you." 

Conner lifted his head and looked at the three men. "You would do that for me? I'm a loser and I was even afraid to cry or hug you, Jared. It wasn't allowed in our house. I don't remember the last time I was hugged by anyone." 

Liam spoke, "Conner, you are being adopted into a family of 6 guys who like you have no families either. We love each other like brothers, even stronger though. We are not afraid to show brotherly love amongst us freely. You saw us joking around yesterday. That's the way we are, and you are going to be one of us, too." 

"I have no money, no clothes, no furniture, no job. I just graduated from school. I have nothing to offer you guys," said Conner. 

"Conner, you are a good person who needs help and that's something we do. That is how I met Josh, Tyler and even Liam. It is our way and money is not important to us. The heart of a good person is more important than money and you have a good heart and spirit. Conner, you have survived years of abuse as a victim and a witness. We can help that too, buddy," explained Jared. 

Conner looked at him again, "This is going to sound weird, but no one has ever called me buddy before, Jared. I wasn't allowed to have friends." 

Tyler spoke up, "You have 6 of them now, Conner." He started sobbing again. In a few minutes, he quietened down and Tyler handed him some Kleenex to blow his nose. 

Conner let go of him and Jared let him sit up to grab the Kleenex. He blew his nose, and a fart slipped out at the same time. 

"Hey, I said nose. I am not getting paper for that end," exclaimed Tyler. 

Conner smiled at Tyler. He started to wave his hand in front of his face and said, "Oh god, I am sorry guys." Tyler, Jared and Liam immediately began an exaggerated gaging and choking. 

Conner started to laugh at them. "Jared, Tyler, Liam, I want to say thank you for your concern and for helping me. I have never had anyone be this kind to me before." 

Liam spoke up, "Is there anyone we should call about your brother and mother, like your Grandparents or any other family?" 

"No. We haven't had contact with other family members since I can remember. Father wouldn't allow it as they were heathens in his mind. I have no clue where to even start or if they are alive." 

Tyler spoke up, "You're going to have a difficult few days, Conner, and we'll help you. What do you want to do for a funeral for them? I take it you want nothing to do with that church do you?" 

"No fucking way," Conner blurted, and then ducked like he was ready to be hit. 

"Conner, we all go to a church which would be happy to help look after it," said Liam. 

"I don't know what has to be done, I know nothing," said Conner. He then looked at the three of them added, "I'm such a loser, I don't even know what to do for my dead family," and promptly broke down again. 

Jared tucked Conner's head against his chest and then rested his chin on the top of the young man's head. 

Jared looked up at the ceiling, and then his eyes glowed. "Tyler, Liam, both of you grab my shoulders." After their hands were gripping his shoulders, Jared placed a hand on Conner's head. He walked into Conner's memories and emotions. The thoughts, emotions and memories Jared uncovered were shared with Liam and Tyler. 

Jared then commanded Conner to sleep, a deep sleep. He broke the contact and laid Conner's sleeping body down on the bed. The guys all helped to position him and tuck him comfortably. 

Jared then spoke, "We can talk freely. He won't hear us as I basically shut him down totally for a few hours. He needed it." 

Tyler spoke first, "Those memories are horrifying... more than that even... I can't even describe what I saw. I cannot believe he and his brother were treated like that. Their mother was no angel but she was a victim, too." 

Liam had tears in his eyes, "This young man has had more pain and suffering in his short life than most people do in a dozen lifetimes." 

Tyler spoke up, "I saw some things in those memories I have to follow up with at the house. I saw weapons in a pit under the house. What did you guys see in the church basement. I couldn't make it out." 

Liam spoke up, "I wasn't sure either. Was it something like a lab?" 

Jared then added, "I saw what you guys saw. I can try again but it was something he was exposed to just briefly. I sensed it was a lab, maybe drugs. He didn't even realize he saw it as he glanced at something else. The mind filtered it out, but stored the data. I don't think there is anything else. Did you note the beating he got when they got home afterwards?" 

Tyler was thinking and said, "If I chat with the sergeant, and tell him Conner had been talking in his sleep and I heard this, we might be able to go through the house with a fine tooth comb instead of just dealing with the victims." 




Paramedic Pt. 10



"Worth a shot," said Jared. 

Liam looked like he was in deep thought. "What's up, Liam?" asked Jared. 

Liam looked at him and said, "Why don't you just heal him, Jared. I mean, take away all the pain he has gone through. Put a suggestion in his head about his life. I don't know, I am just thinking out loud." 

"That's not the way it works at this point. He has to experience the closure of burying his family, and with help, he will deal with his past. I must not intervene at this stage, Liam. It is hard for me, but I did this to show you guys how much more he needs us. His spirit is very strong, but stifled by his father. If we can help him there, healing will take place. We will let the counselors and our love work with him for a while." 

"I understand, sort of, Jared. I want to help him so bad," answered Liam. 

"We all will, Liam," said Jared. 

They left the hospital room and spoke with the doctor. They filled him in on Conner's reaction to the news and how he was sleeping very soundly right now. The doctor was relieved he was asleep, giving him a chance to organize things in his mind while in a level 5 REM sleep. 

Jared and Liam went to the LGBT centre and spoke with Zane. They explained about the murders and the father on the run. Zane was very happy to help contact a funeral home and the church to arrange a service. He was going to put out the word it was one of Jared's friends and he was sure people would show up to support Conner. 

"All bills come to me for this, Zane," said Jared. He handed him a business card and wrote on the back 'all invoices attention John or Marlene.' 

They headed back to the base with the SUV. Marlene, John and Rob were all in the office when they got there. Jared and Liam joined them. They told them about Conner, and the LGBT Centre making the arrangements for the funeral and the invoices coming to either one of them. 

Melanie and John brought them up to speed on the items Jared wanted completed. John had completed letters to each of the employees on sick leave and he would serve them when they came into work in the morning for a meeting. After the investigators had dropped off the letters to them, they talked about everything including their thefts of the drugs and damage to the equipment. Sgt. Ayres was happy to help when Rob called him. Some of the drugs were found in their lockers as well as some tools which the police took to match to the cut wires and damaged equipment Rob had kept. 

Melanie and Rob had coffee with 3 different crews and good discussions about the problems. Melanie took notes and would write up minutes for John, Rob and Jared. Nothing major had come up but Mel had some ideas on how to make things better. 

After about 20 minutes of discussion, Melanie finally said, "Seeing as the boss is so dumb and didn't do it, John, I would like you meet the toilet bitch/French maid Liam. Liam, this is John." 

Jared blushed and reached over and took Liam's hand. "Liam, with all my heart, I apologise for my behavior. I beg you to forgive me my soulmate." 

"Jared, with all my heart, there is nothing to forgive as I never thought of it either. We have dealt with so much in the last couple of days, my head is spinning. I could have spoken up as well. We both have been dealing with Conner and that entire situation as well as trying to help Rob. If you need my forgiveness, you have it unconditionally. I love you with my heart and spirit." 

The two turned and looked at the other three in the room. John had a big smile of approval on his face as did Rob. Melanie was sticking her finger into her mouth causing her to gag and dry heave. 

Liam looked at her and smiled, "Jared, she really works hard to be such a bitch, doesn't she?" That brought a round of laughter from everyone. 

Rob put an end to the meeting. "Ok guys. Jared, Liam - get your asses out of my office and into your unit. We aren't paying you to hang around and kiss ass." 

Jared smiled and said to John, "The Dragon Lady has been teaching Rob communications skills. Jesus, he is beginning to sound like her, too." 

"I would leave now before they both attack you. She has been teaching him how to effectively hurt people," replied John. 

"Ok, we are going. its lunch time for us," said Liam. 

The rest of the afternoon went quickly for Jared and Liam. About 4:30 pm, they picked up a couple of pizza's and headed to the hospital. They entered the room where Conner was talking with a lady. 

"Brought a couple of pizzas for you, but there are a few slices missing already. The cop out front was hungry," said Liam. 

They introduced themselves to the woman who was the hospital Social Worker, Amanda. She was a pleasant woman, shorter, plump and she would win the grand prize for who best looked like a Grandmother. Her eyes were alive with life and Jared sensed a good spirit in her. She radiated warmth, honesty and truth as well as the love for job of helping people. 

Amanda looked at the two paramedics who had entered and was obviously sizing them up. She had spoken with Conner who had her about meeting these two. She was looking at their eyes, the windows of the soul and trying to get a read on them. She was reading their body language, watching them how they conducted themselves, trying to assess their motivation. Amanda opened her senses and tried to pick up anything she could. 

Jared stepped forward. "Liam, let's feed the hungry little guy. He is wasting away on hospital food," he said. 

"Thanks for the pizza guys, I'm starving," said Conner as he flipped the pizza box open and grabbed a piece. 

Jared and Amanda were still locking eyes and trying to assess each other when he spoke, "Amanda, I appreciate your spending time with Conner. He's going to need a lot of help to get back onto his path in life he was intended to walk." 

"I agree. Are you familiar with the various paths open to him," she asked. 

"Yes I am," Jared replied. "He has the correct path to follow now that he has left the one he had been pushed onto. There's a family quiet room down the hall, may we speak in private?" 

"I think that would be a good idea, Jared," she replied. She got up and ambled slowly but steadily to the door which Jared held open for her. He closed the door after they both had gone into the hallway. 

Conner looked at Liam and with a mouthful of pizza asked, "What was that all about, Liam?" 

"I'm not sure, Conner. I am really not sure," he replied. 

Amanda and Jared made it to quiet room and closed the door after them. She sat down on the couch and Jared stood by the door. "You're a sensitive," Jared stated. 

"I am. I can't figure out what you are though, Jared. Your aura is the purest white I've ever seen and I cannot sense through it," she said. "Liam's is white as well, but not as strong. I could sense a few things but not a lot. Your auras are together, I can see them blending together when you stand next to each other. The last time I came across something like that was with a Shaman." 

Jared smiled and said, "Do I look like a shaman? I'm just a paramedic and so is Liam." 

Amanda looked at him and closed her eyes to slits. "Your aura just changed its intensity and became more active. That's a half-truth, Jared." 

Jared said, "You're right. I am Maskwa, Sacred Medicine Man of the People. Grandson of Running Elk, the Most Sacred Medicine Man of the People." 

Amanda stared at him for a minute and then said, "Your aura was unchanged. You spoke what you believed to be the truth." 

"I told the truth. It's not my problem if you do not believe me," he replied. 

"You could be a spirit who is trying to claim the soul of Conner," she said. 

"I need not prove anything to you, Amanda. Why are you really here?" Jared asked. 

"It's my job. I'm the hospital social worker and have people referred to me all the time. Conner was one of them. When he told me about you and your three friends taking him under your wing I wanted to know your real motivation," she said. 

"I can appreciate what you're saying. I also understand how a sensitive could use their gift from the Creator in a job like yours," said Jared. "You would be very effective in dealing with people's emotions and drawing their buried feelings out."  

"Yes, I'm quite good actually, Jared. You are the first to actually block me totally, and Liam is the second," she said. 

"You were limping when we came into the room. You have knee problems, Amanda?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, the right knee needs to have surgery and replaced because of it being worn out" she replied. 

Jared looked up at the ceiling and held his hands out and upward. He lowered his head and his eyes were glowing. "Amanda, the Creator would like you to have a gift for all the work you have done as a social worker. He has seen you help many people back onto their paths to finish the life they were intended to have." 

Jared stepped forward to Amanda and kneeled before her. Amanda remained still but locked her wide eyes onto Jared. He reached a hand out gently and touched Amanda's damaged knee. The knee began to glow under his hand. 

Amanda was transfixed on what Jared was doing. She felt her knee warming but it wasn't from his touch. The warmth was inside her knee and expanding outwards towards the skin. Suddenly, she felt the warmth spreading to the bones throughout her body. Amanda thought to herself that it was just the bones warming and not the skin. Pain she had been dealing with for years was disappearing in her knee as well as her shoulders and fingers. The warmth stopped as suddenly as it started. She looked and Jared's eyes were back to normal. 

Jared stood up and took a step backwards away from her. He held his hand out to her and asked her to take it. When she did, in her mind she saw the sweat lodge ceremony, visions he had seen, the family sharing their love through thought as well as the test with the young men he had completed. Jared released his grip and looked at her. 

She stood and marvelled at her lack of pain and new found mobility. Amanda stepped into Jared and gave him a big warm hug of the type only a grandmother could give. 

"I understand now, Jared. You are a Sacred Medicine Man of the People and I am humbled by your presence," she said. 

"Amanda, I may be a medicine man, but it is the Creator who has given me these gifts to do his work. I am just a man, no different than any other man. He gave you a gift as well and you have used it well," said Jared. 

Amanda released him and stepped back. "How can I repay you?" 

"You owe me nothing. It was the work of the Creator, not mine. I saw in your mind you smudge on a regular basis. Just thank him for his present of health you received. He gave you this present in return for your outstanding work and asks you to keeping doing your best" said Jared. 

Jared thought for a moment and then said "I ask a personal favour of you. You now know of my role in life as a healer. Please keep it to yourself and do not share it, especially with the group of people you associate with in the spiritual sessions. If you are dealing with someone and you suddenly have that deep feeling to call me, do so. I will help if I am able. Liam is my brother and keeper of the ancient wisdom. He needs your discretion as well." 

Amanda smiled and said, "I would never piss of a Sacred Medicine Man of the People. That's bad karma." 

Jared smiled at her. "The Creator healed your knee. There was also a lot of damage done to many other bones not only from arthritis but from the prednisone you had been prescribed to treat your condition and he healed that as well. He wants you around for a long time and doing what you love, helping people. If anyone asks how this healing happened, give them a good line of bullshit." 

Amanda burst out laughing at Jared's last statement and hugged him again. "May I ask why you do not heal Conner?" 

"He has much to learn yet and even the pain one has in life is a lesson. He must learn to deal with it and come to terms with his past life at the hands of his father. Have no worries, we will be with him to help when he needs it, Amanda. I am also in the position to let you see what I saw when I walked into his memories." 

Jared reached out and touched her hand gently and Amanda's mind was immediately flooded with the memories they had seen earlier. 

"Oh my God," she said. Jared removed his hand. 

"Jared, this is the first time as a social worker and a sensitive that I actually know what I am dealing with instead of looking for patterns, behaviors, self-disclosed memories. I wish I could do what you do." 

"No, you don't, Amanda. I see horrific, troubling and scary things in some people's minds. I've learned to turn it on and off but it takes a lot of self-control and meditation to control the emotions from what I see. I see you as a good soul for what you are doing, and not a granite inner soul I have for fighting the evil one." 

"I sense nothing but good in you Jared. I don't sense your soul being like granite." 

"You haven't seen me when I confront evil directly as a Shaman," Jared said coldly. It sent shivers down Amanda's spine. She watched Jared's aura change from pure white to a thick layer of black, red, yellow and white colored zones in the aura. Suddenly, the aura combined and become pure white again. 

"I think I understand, Jared." 

"Back to Conner, he also needs people like you to help him. Can you do that, Amanda? I mean even after he leaves the hospital?" 

"I can do some follow up visits but the hospital doesn't like me working with people who have been discharged," she replied. 

"Can we pay you to find time and treat Conner?" he asked. 

"No, I wouldn't accept a penny from you. It'd be nice to treat him in my office here, though," she replied. 

"Ok, it'll happen then, Amanda," said Jared. "Let's go back to the room and see how much pizza has been eaten." 

The two left the room, and Amanda was walking quickly back to Conner's room with a big smile on her face. As Jared went by the nursing station, he asked the nurse to contact the Head of Administration and ask her to come up if she had time. 

Jared and Amanda entered the room to find Liam and Conner engaged in a belching contest. Conner was just letting an ear splitting, long belch out as they stepped into the room. Jared looked at the bed and saw the two boxes were now empty. Liam and Conner were pointing and blaming each other for eating all the pizza and starting the belching contest. Jared just smiled and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Amanda smiling as well. 

Susan, the Administration Head opened the door and came into the room. Jared explained he was asking her for Amanda to continue working with Conner even after he left the hospital because of the bonding they had built between them. Jared explained his idea of Conner coming to the hospital for visits in her office a couple of times a week for a while. Susan assured Jared it would be no problem, they would just keep him on as an Out-Patient so no one could ask questions. Jared hugged her and Susan took off. 

Amanda smiled, "I like watching you work, Jared; you were so smooth with her." 

"I've known her a long time, and I'm a member of the Hospital Benevolent Committee as well," Jared replied. 

Amanda chuckled, "I wondered what you had over her. Look, I will leave you two with Conner. I have to get going and I feel like going for a walk, something I used to enjoy at one time. I look forward to our future dealings, Jared. You too, Liam."  

She went over and hugged Conner who returned it to her warmly. She gave him a kiss on his cheek and said, "You're in good hands with these two, Conner. Listen to them and trust them." She then gave both Liam and Jared a big hug and quickly left the room. 

"I understand you may get out here tomorrow, Conner," said Jared. 

"If everything is good for the doctors in the morning and you are really going to let me live with you, yes I am supposed to get out," Conner said beaming. 

"I'll talk to the doctor and see if he can make it happen about 4:00 pm tomorrow. We can probably get off shift a bit early and it's our last shift for four days. Liam, are you still good with having this child living with us?" asked Jared. 

"Child? Who you calling a child, Jared?" asked Conner with feigned indignation. "I am only 4 years younger than Liam!" 

"Shaving once a month doesn't count as an adult, Conner," said Liam as he laughed. 

"It's twice a month, Liam!" replied Conner laughing. The two boys explained they had to take off as they had an appointment to attend, but they would be back to visit him in the morning. While Conner was sad that they were leaving, he knew in his heart they would return. They hugged and departed. 

They swung by the ambulance base and picked up John. 

"Do you want to eat out or have us fix something at the apartment?" asked Liam. 

"I've sampled Jared's cooking before. Let's eat at Pierre's place," John replied with a smirk on his face. 

After dinner, they drove to the apartment and got John settled into the spare room. John and Liam spent about an hour talking about financial possibilities and recommendations for Liam's money. Liam understood some of what was being said but was not afraid to ask John questions. By the end of their conversation, Liam had signed some papers appointing John as a financial adviser. 

After a cup of tea each, John decided it was time to go to bed. Liam and Jared went into the special room and performed a smudging ceremony. At the end, Liam jumped up to head for a shower. Jared had just finished cleaning up the kitchen when Liam ran naked from the bathroom to the bedroom. Jared smiled at the scene, and felt some interest grow in his pants. Jared ran to the shower. After the shower, he wrapped a towel around himself and walked to the bedroom. The lights were off and couple of candles were lit in the room. 

Liam was bent over on his hands and knees with his ass high in the air, knees spread wide on the bed. 

"Close the door and is there anything you would like to do right now?" Liam asked as he looked at him mischievously. 

"Now that you put it that way, I think thing of something to show my love for you," he said as closed the door, dropped his towel and stepped to the bed. 

Jared was getting hard he went over to Liam and placed his hands on Liam's ass cheeks. He started to use his thumbs, toying with Liam's asshole, circling and rubbing it. Jared licked at Liam's asshole, probing into it with his tongue. He leaned over and spit onto the hole and then used his finger to enter it to the first knuckle. Gently he made a small circular motion inside Liam and then pushed in deeper. 

Liam groaned loudly and pushed his ass out further towards Jared. Jared reached under Liam and took his hard cock into his hand and squeezed the precum out, gathering it and wiping it on Liam's asshole. Liam groaned even more and threw his head up. 

"Oh god Jared, squeeze my dick like that again while you are fingering me." 

Jared complied. He grabbed Liam's dick and began to massage it while working his finger in and out of his asshole. Jared spit on Liam's asshole again and inserted 2 fingers, working them in steadily until he could go as deep as possible. He wiggled his fingers inside Liam and found the prostrate and toyed with it. Liam groaned out loud, "I feel electricity through my whole body when you do that to me!" 

Jared squeezed and milked Liam's dick again catching the huge dollop of precum as it came out. He spread it over Liam's asshole again as he put a third finger into him. 

Liam groaned louder yet and then said, "Jared, I need you in me. I need your dick in me." 

Jared pulled his fingers out of Liam and climbed behind him. Liam moved forward enough for Jared to get up behind him and said, "All of it, Jared. I need it all in me." 




Paramedic Pt. 10



Jared held his own dick just above Liam's quivering asshole and squeezed it. Jared was a heavy pre-cummer and it dribbled onto the tight little rosebud. He then grabbed Liam at the hips and pulled him backward with his big red dickhead entering Liam's body. Liam cried out a bit causing Jared to stop his movement. 

"Don't stop, Jared. All of it," called out Liam. Jared steadily pushed forward monitoring Liam for discomfort or pain. Soon, Jared's pubic hairs were up against Liam's ass, and he started to thrust in and out slowly. 

"Faster," Liam called out with intensity. "Faster and harder, Jared." 

Jared complied. Liam was groaning with each thrust and began to thrust backwards to meet Jared's thrust forward. The sound of Jared's pounding on Liam's ass were loud in the room. 

"Jared, I feel so full inside with you there. I feel a part of you," said Liam. 

"Liam, you are so tight and warm, I don't know if I can hold back," replied Jared. 

Jared then pulled out and stood up on the bed. He positioned Liam so his ass was as high as it could go and stood over it. He leaned down and plunged his dick in again as deep as he could go. Jared would thrust in deep, and then pulled out all the way only to thrust in deep again. 

In this position Jared hit Liam's little love button inside of him every time as he thrust into him. Finally, Jared started to pound Liam's ass hard and fast continually. Jared balls were bouncing off Liam's ass and making contact with Liam's ball sac from behind as his swung with each thrust. 

Jared heard Liam cried out, "Oh god Jared, that's it. I am cumming." Jared needed no more coaxing and thrust hard into Liam and released his load as well. Liam could feel the warmth of Jared's cum being injected deep within his body. 

While still deep in Liam, Jared laid down, pulling him over onto his side where they both lay. They both remained in the position for a moment to enjoy the post-loving they bliss they felt. 

"Jared, please don't pull out. Let it slide out naturally. I want to feel that meat of yours as long as possible," said Liam. 

They laid there for a few moments on the bed before Liam felt Jared's dick pop out. He felt so empty at that moment but then he realized he was wrapped in Jared's loving arms and the feelings rushed back into his heart. 

They both rolled over onto their backs and Liam reached for Jared's hand. Grasping it, he brought it to his mouth and kissed it gently. They fell into a deep sleep, together. 

In the morning, the three of them headed into work early. John and Melanie immediately headed to Rob's office to get ready for Tim and his associates to show up. Rob was getting the crews organized and out on the road to minimize the audience available for Tim if he decided to put on a show when they dealt with him. 

Jared and Liam were split up today, each with a part time paramedic. Jared was assigned a young man by the name of Eddie while Liam was assigned a young lady named Marcie. The two of them didn't like being split up but accepted the operational need when Rob read the work line-up for the day with no problem. Rob also gave Liam and Jared a wireless microphone to be worn when working. It was tied into the camera system installed yesterday. They both put them on. 

"We might as well test that system, Jared. The rest of the microphones should be here later this week," said Rob 

Rob watched Jared as he read out the Line-up, and he noted no complaints coming from him at the assignment. Rob thought to himself, "I guess nothing really has changed now I know who Jared is. He is letting me run the business and just acting as any other paramedic. From knowing Jared all these years, I should have never expected anything different from him." Rob then thought, "It will take some time for me to adjust knowing he is actually my boss, but it is more my problem than his." 

Liam and Marcie knew each other casually through work. They had worked together occasionally and got along fairly well. They got into their unit and headed out. 

Eddie was a recent hire, actually from about 2 months ago and had been filling in a lot on night shifts. He was hoping to get on full time someday. He was 21 years old, about 5'6", and obviously a weight lifter from his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He had perfectly and styled brown hair and grey eyes. He was cute to look at from a distance, but he was a little narcissistic. He had never worked with Jared before and really hadn't met him other than having seen him in the distance at shift changes. 

"So I am with you for the day," said Eddie. "You want to drive?" 

"No, you can Eddie," replied Jared. "We just have to wait around for a few minutes so I can goodbye to a couple of people when they are done with the meeting they are in." 

"Are they in with Rob, Tim and those people from the company?" he asked. 

"Yes they are." 

"I hear the people from the company are assholes and are going to clean house of anyone who wanted to form and association," Eddie stated. 

"Really?" said Jared. "I heard they were doing a good job of slicing off some of the dead weight who weren't doing their jobs. Everyone who has sat through meetings was impressed with them and their professionalism." 

"They put on a good show, but it is just a show. If they cared about us like they told everyone, they would have offered the part-timers full-time work first before putting an ad in the paper," said Eddie. "Now we have to apply and compete with everyone else who doesn't work here. That's bullshit!" 

"Eddie, do you think they may be looking for the best people and making the process transparent so no one can claim favoritism if all the part-timers weren't hired?" asked Jared. 

"That's what they would say but they have to hire us part-timers first. I heard it was a law," said Eddie with an air of arrogance. 

Just as Eddie finished that statement, Melanie came through the door and headed to Jared. 

Eddie whispered, "Oh shit, look busy. Here comes one of them." 

Melanie came over and introduced herself to Eddie and then turned towards Jared and game him a big hug. "We are done here for the moment, cuz" she said. "John and I will be heading out shortly but I will be back next week to help Rob with the interviews for the new paramedics." 

"That's great to hear Mel. Will the part-timers get an extra consideration when you start looking at the applicants," asked Jared. 

"If it comes down to applicants who are basically even in their skills, attitude and education, they will be picked above someone not working for us already." 

Jared then asked, "Why weren't the part-timers hired without posting the ad?" asked Jared. He gave her a wink out of the sight of Eddie. 

Melanie picked up the wink from Jared and had already figured something was up with the questions he was asking in front of his temporary partner. "Well, according to the labour code, these are different positions. They are already in a position and to change to another one, they have to go through the process. We want the best and if someone is a marginal performer as a part-timer, that's not good enough for full time. The whole process must be above board and transparent to anyone especially if a complaint to the Labour Board is made if someone is not hired." 

Melanie continued, "We are doing this the right way the first time, and that is what the CEO expects from us. Do it right, and do your best." 

"Are you one of the interviewers?" asked Eddie. 

"Yes I am. I'm involved in all the hiring for the entire company so I will be helping Rob out," she replied. 

"Are you qualified to interview a paramedic," asked Eddie. His arrogance was beginning to show as well as a glimpse into his visions of where women were in his food chain. 

"Yes I am. I was in the Medical Corps in the Marines before leaving a couple of years ago and I'm still an active Critical Care Paramedic/Nurse," Melanie answered. She was looking this young man over to get a read on him. 

"Oh wow," he said changing his tune quickly. "I bet you got to do so some interesting things in the Marines. Did you see combat." 

"Eddie, we don't talk about a lot of what we saw casually. It's better that way," she replied. Melanie turned to Jared. "I see they got the cameras installed in the units and you're wearing a mic, Jared. That's good and it may be recoding something we need today." 

Jared caught the underlying message from Melanie. "Yes, it will hopefully control the thefts and help us to review patient care so we know how to be more effective," said Jared. 

Eddie was looking at the sign with a warning of the camera system and everything said was recorded. 

"When did this start?" asked Eddie. 

"This morning Eddie; we can't afford anymore thefts. The nice part is we can go back and protect the paramedic or patient if accusations of mistreatment or harassment are made," said Melanie. 

"Maybe not a bad idea," said Eddie. 

"I better get my stuff cleaned up and get it to the car. I have to be ready when John wants to leave or he will leave me behind." She hugged him again and said, "Love you cuz and can't wait to see you again." 

"Love you too, Mel. See you next week," said Jared as she was walking to the door. John was just coming into the bay as she was leaving. They exchanged a few words and John headed to Jared. 

"I'm done here for now, Jared, and I'll be going back with the Dragon Lady," said John. 

Suddenly from down the hallway beyond the door, they heard Melanie yell, "I heard that, mister!" 

Jared and John laughed together. They shook hands and Jared said, "I'll be in touch, John. May the Creator bless and protect you on your journey and your life." 

"Thank you, Masqwa, and he has already blessed me and I know he will continue to on our trip. I'll need it with her driving." 

Once again from down the hallway beyond the door, they heard Melanie yell, "I heard that, mister!" 

John rolled his eyes and laughed again as he turned to leave. 

After John had left, Eddie looked at Jared with concern and asked, "Are you related? Does cuz mean cousin?" 

"Yes, she is my older cousin. Cuz is short form we use in our culture," he replied. 

"So if you're related, how come you don't have a better position with more money in the company?" 

"Well, the first reason is I like my job and I believe this was my calling and don't want to be anywhere else or doing anything else. The second reason is Melanie earned her way into the position she is in and the company doesn't give promotions to family members or friends. Everyone has to work their way up. Just as a warning Eddie, I would never want to be on her bad side. She wouldn't hesitate to fire me and put me on the street if I deserved it, family or not." 

"Wow, she'd do that to family. Oh. You said something about your culture?" 

"Yes, part of the First Nations culture. This company is owned by a member of my tribe but they hire anyone who is hard working and dedicated to their job, regardless of race, colour, religion or sexual orientation," replied Jared. 

"What was that Creator stuff?" asked Eddie who really wasn't listening to Jared's answers. 

Jared replied, "The Creator of all including mother earth and father sky." 

"That's blasphemous," answered Eddie. "There is only one God and to worship others is worshipping false gods and blasphemy." 

"Eddie, maybe we can discuss this later but you have a pretty narrow point of view. You're young and should listen more than you speak. When you asked Melanie, who by the way is the Executive Assistant to the CEO of the Company, or the third most powerful person in the entire business empire, if she was qualified; you didn't make a good impression. I'm also the new Paramedic Training Officer for the base, and to be honest, you do not impress me either," said Jared. 

"I am a soldier of Christ and I'm allowed to say what I want with the protection by freedom of speech," said Eddie. 

"I'm aware of the Human Rights Code and I think we better hit the road before you dig yourself deeper into the hole you are excavating fast, Eddie," said Jared calmly and moving towards the ambulance. "You wanted to drive, let's get going." 

As they were pulling out, they were dispatched to a call of an unconscious man downtown. Eddie rolled his eyes and said, "Probably another drunken Indian by that location." 

Jared was actually getting upset with this young man, something he rarely did. "That comment is not allowed under the same Human Right Code you quoted a moment ago when you were protecting your freedom of speech as a Christian." 

Eddie was turning red but didn't reply. They got to the scene and found an unconscious man on the sidewalk. Although he had been drinking a little, Jared sensed there was more to it. 

"You do the assessment and I will get the vitals and a glucose test from him," directed Jared. 

"He's drunk, let's just get him on the stretcher and take him to the hospital. That's how we do it on the night shift with Tim," Eddie said. 

"No, we follow protocols for every patient, and Tim is in trouble for not doing it," stated Jared. "Get the assessment done Eddie." 

Jared noted Eddie was grumbling to himself as he did a poor assessment of his patient. Jared completed his vitals and glucose test. 

"Let's go, I didn't find anything," said Eddie. 

"I did find something. Get the drug kit while I start an IV," directed Jared. 

By the time Eddie returned with the drug kit, Jared had the IV in and running. He had done a rapid body survey as well to check Eddie's not finding anything. "Give me the D50," demanded Jared. Eddie did so with a look of interest on his face. 

Jared took the tube of D50 glucose and linked it to the IV line and started to push the thick, clear fluid from the tube into the IV line. He was about half way through the tube when the man started to come to consciousness. 

The patient was a middle aged man and was a First Nations member. Obviously this man was no street person from the way his clothing looked. He looked up at Jared who was smiling back at him. 

"Hi. How are you feeling brother?" asked Jared. 

"Feeling better," he replied. "I guess I should have eaten more instead of celebrating." 

Jared continued to push the D50 into the man. "What were you celebrating?" asked Jared. This was more than a random question. Jared was testing his level of consciousness and ability to answer appropriately. 

"My daughter gave birth to a child last night. I'm a grandfather!" the man replied with pride in his voice. "I only had a couple of drinks last night before falling asleep on my son's couch. I got up and took my insulin with the intention of grabbing a breakfast at McDonalds. Guess I didn't make it. Come to think of it, I didn't eat much at supper because I was so excited." 

"We need you to go the hospital with us to get checked over. Your blood sugar was 1.9 mmol when I checked it before giving the glucose to you," said Jared. 

"Thank you. I'll do as you ask brother," he replied. 

Eddie had the stretcher ready for the man. Jared helped him up and onto the stretcher. When he was loaded, Jared got into the back and checked his glucose level again, giving him some oral glucose to swallow. 

They dropped him off at the hospital and started to clean the ambulance. 

"I told you, another drunken Indian," stated Eddie. 

"No, it was man who was suffering from extreme hypoglycemia," replied Jared with an edge of irritation in his voice. "You do realize I told you I am a member of the First Nations, don't you?" asked Jared. 

"You're an Indian? No, I didn't know that was First Nations. Is that why you called him brother?" asked Eddie. 

"Yes. But all mankind are my brother and sisters," replied Jared. 

"Those types drain the system with constant calls. They keep us from the interesting calls where real people could die if we don't get there," Eddie said. 

Jared stopped cleaning and looked at Eddie. "If we had done it your way by throwing him on the stretcher, he could have died on the way to the hospital without the glucose." 

"Well in this case, it would have been different. The frequent flyers are a problem though," Eddie stated. 

"Every time we go on a call, we must follow procedures and never short cut our assessment and treatment based upon stereotypes for any person," stated Jared. 

Eddie didn't reply. 

"Go park the unit. I want to slip upstairs to visit one of my patients from a couple days ago and check on him," said Jared. 

Jared waited for Eddie to catch up with him before getting onto the elevator. They got off and went to Conner's room. Jared nodded at the Policeman and opened the door. Conner's face lit up when Jared entered, but lost all emotion when Eddie entered. Jared caught it right away. 

"What's wrong, Conner?" asked Jared. 

Eddie spoke up, "Why are we here to visit this gayboy?" 

"He's from the church, Jared. Why'd you bring him here?" asked Conner. 

"Liam and I were split up today so I had him assigned to me." Jared turned to Eddie, "Wait outside." 

"Gladly, I don't want to breathe this faggots air," he said as he left the room. 

Jared spoke with Conner and settled him down, apologising for bringing Eddie up. 

"I am going back to the base to speak with Rob, the Operations Manager about Eddie's conduct today here and on the call we just finished. I'll be back around lunch time. Chinese?" he asked. 

"How about Vietnamese with some spice in it?" asked Conner with a smile. 

Jared left and met with Eddie at the waiting room. "Let's go back to the base," said Jared. 

"Are you friends with that faggot? How can you speak with that abomination in the eyes of God?" he demanded. 

Jared looked at him and said, "1 John 3:10, this is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister." 

Jared continued, "I think you better read your bible again as your version of Christianity seems to only involve white people who and are racially, culturally and sexually bigoted. It would in your best interest to just basically shut the fuck up because I no longer have any interest in what you say, Eddie." 

They got to their ambulance and Jared jumped into the driver's seat. Eddie still had not said a word, even when Jared backed into the bay. When Jared parked, Eddie jumped out of the unit and ran for the door which led to the offices. Jared smiled to himself as he figured Eddie was running to Rob to complain about him. 

Jared finished up in the garage and went to Rob's office. Sure enough, Eddie was there and when Jared entered the office doorway, Eddie stopped talking. Rob looked at Jared and greeted him. 

"Eddie has made some serious accusations about you, Jared." 

"Eddie can say whatever he wants, he's demonstrated to me clearly that he doesn't know what the truth is, nor does he know how to do his job," said Jared. "Eddie, there was a new system installed in all the ambulances yesterday. It was done to monitor if there were any more thefts or damages done as well for us to review cases if a patient complains about treatment. The video tape has downloaded already to the server. Rob, you may want to play it for us. By the way Eddie, I was wearing this microphone the entire time and it caught everything." 

Eddie went pale. 

"You read the sign stuck to the doors of the unit this morning advising of a camera recording be done of all treatments. You were aware of it when you spoke with Melanie as well" said Jared. 

"No I wasn't. It's illegal," Eddie lied. 

"Rob, let's look at the tape," suggested Jared. 

They reviewed the tape, and Rob was getting upset. They fast forwarded through the areas Jared indicated as nothing going on. 




Paramedic Pt. 10



"Eddie. I need a few minutes with Jared and then I will speak with you alone afterwards," said Rob. 

Eddie left the office and closed the door. "Well, Jared. Your thoughts about what I am to do with Eddie?" asked Rob. 

"Your call, remember you're the operations Manager and I'm just a paramedic," he replied. 

"Ok, I appreciate that Jared. I'm going to write a termination letter for him and serve him when he comes back in," Rob said. 

"I agree with you as the base trainer, and will support you 100% in my other role. I'm sure John and Melanie will as well and if they don't - too bad. Now that you have made a decision, I will tell you I wanted his ass fired and should file a complaint with the licensing body as well. So I have no partner now. Can I drive around in your SUV and try to look as important as you?" Jared asked with a smile on his face. 

"Fuck off, you twerp. Try to look important. Don't fool yourself, you could never look as important as me," Rob said with feigned arrogance. 

"Just don't pose and look at yourself in the mirror like Eddie does, Rob." 

"He does that?" asked Rob. 

"He stops at every mirror," laughed Jared. 

"Get out of here and use my SUV, Jared. I will deal with Mr. Personality out there," said Rob. 

Jared left the office and as he went by Eddie he said, "Rob needs a few minutes. He will call you when he is ready." Jared left the base in the SUV and contacted Liam for a meet in a parking lot. 

They met and went into a small restaurant for coffee. Jared explained what happened with Eddie and Rob was going to be terminating him from the job due to his behavior. Jared had been wearing his microphone and part of it was video as well. 

Marcie looked like she wanted to say something and Liam encouraged her. "It's about time someone nailed his butt and got him fired. He has always been like that, not looking after patients and taking shortcuts," she said. 

Jared looked at her and asked, "Why was he never reported to Rob?" 

"He is one of Tim's friends and they go to the same church. You know the one, the holier than thou church on the edge of town." 

"I didn't realize it had that many crazies going to it. How many are in the congregation?" asked Liam. 

"From what Tim and Eddie said, it has probably about 100 people," she answered. 

"Marcie, were the other ones fired with Tim this morning part of the church, too?" Jared asked. 

"Yes, they all were," she replied. 

Jared thought for a moment and then said slowly, "That means we have probably pissed off anywhere from 10% to 25% of the congregation if you factor in families for them and Conner's family as well." 

Liam and Marcie were thinking about it when she grabbed a napkin and started writing numbers down. She added them up and said "From what I knew of the others and their family members, I think closer to 40% because I heard them talking about parents going as well." 

Liam smiled a crooked smile and said, "Oops." 

"Yeah, you summarized that one real well, oh man of few words and very little education yokel," said Jared. 

"Fuck you, Masqwa," laughed Liam. 

"You two have been partners a while, haven't you? You have a good chemistry between you, easy going, fun and you work together well. I have learned more with Liam on our calls this morning than I did most of my night shifts in the last month. He doesn't yell at me like the others either," Marcie said. 

"Marcie, I didn't realize what was going on with the other shifts. I know you don't work with us much, actually none of the part-timers do because my shift are mostly good people who are away rarely. We have fun and poke fun at each all the time but I would not tolerate yelling or harassment," replied Jared. 

"The other shifts are jealous of you guys and call you the favoured shift. I don't know what they are talking about, Jared. You have a powerhouse team and the grass is always greener, I guess," Marcie said. 

"Liam, how is Marcie's paramedic skills?" asked Jared. 

"Good. From what I've seen, she knows her stuff and is articulate in her documentation. I can read her writing easily. Not like someone else who should be using a crayon and drawing pictures of what he did rather than writing it," replied Liam. 

Jared gave him the finger. Marcie looked at the two of them and started laughing. "I am glad I actually got to work with you guys. This is the way it should be in between calls," she said. 

Jared got his cell phone out and dialed Rob. Jared spoke into the phone and asked if he had Marcie's resume for the full time positions. Jared then told him she was Liam approved and should put her resume on the top of the pile. After saying good bye, he put his phone back in the belt holder. 

"You did that for me? Thank you. Will it give me a chance to get on full time?" she asked. 

"Well, it might. I'm the Base Trainer now and Rob considers what I say occasionally. He said he was going to run it by Melanie with a potential start date of our next day on. He was thinking of moving a couple of other people off this shift to another, and you would backfill" explained Jared. 

"Wow. Thanks guys!" she said as she hugged Liam. "My girlfr... oh shit." Marcie's face went pale immediately when she realized she had started to say girlfriend. 

Liam put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her over to him. "So, you're gay? How does that affect the skills you have as a paramedic?" he asked. 

She was almost in tears when she said, "Tim and crew were so homophobic. They were always bashing gays and talking scripture and I was so scared they would found out. Would you guys keep it a secret for me?" 

"Management here is very tolerant of gay people. The homophobic slurs and Eddie's hatred of First Nations people were part of the reasons he was fired. It is not tolerated by the company," said Jared. 

"That is great to hear," she said. 

"If you don't believe me," started Jared, "ask my boyfriend, Liam." 

"What?" She looked at the two of them. "Serious?" 

"You have been hanging with Liam too much. Try to use more than one word in a sentence please," said Jared. 

Marcie and Liam both gave him the finger. 

"You're safe with us Marcie. We don't advertise our being a couple or being gay because we just act as people. To be honest, we shouldn't have to make a point of telling people what is really none of their business outside of work. They don't walk around with straight on their foreheads, why should we have to put gay on ours?" said Jared. "But Rob knows and he has no problem with it, either." 

"The issue is dead with us, Marcie," said Liam. "If you need us for anything, you know you can come to either one or both of us for help." 

"Thanks guys," Marcie said. All 3 of the radios warbled at the same time. They were all being dispatched to the same call. Jared looked at the radio for a moment with interest. The call was shots fired and two policemen were injured. One appears to be critical. Jared and Liam knew their friends were working today and instantly became worried. Further details came through and it was the result of an armed robbery which they had walked in on.

Chapter 11 

Both the units hit their lights and sirens, Jared in the lead with the Supervisor's unit. Liam called on the radio and requested another unit as back up as it was a multiple casualty event. Dispatch advised them there was already a backup unit on the way with an ETA of a couple of minutes behind Jared's unit. 

Jared and Liam both arrived at the scene. The police had kept an area open for the ambulances and Jared parked furthest away from the doors to allow the two patient carrier units to be close. He grabbed the trauma management packs from the SUV and ran towards the bank's front doors. Liam and Marci had their gear piled onto their stretcher and were heading for the bank doors as well. Josh met them at the doors and said, "They're on the floor in the middle of the lobby. The shooter's dead and it was Conner's dad who did the shooting." 

"Who's been shot?" asked Jared running through the door which Josh held open. 

"Jared, its Sgt. Meyers and a new recruit Dave; his first week on the job." he replied. 

They got inside the bank and saw large pools of blood under all of the men. Jared knew he didn't have to be a Shaman to know it was bad. Liam and Marcie went to Dave and Jared started on Frank. 

Frank opened his eyes and looked at Jared. "I've been praying that you were working Jared. I don't think I'll walk away from this one; I'm having these feelings of floating. It's like... like I'm separating my spirit from my physical body. My entire body is tingling and warm, and... no pain anymore. Like too many Scotches after work. Jared, it's such a feeling of tranquility, peace and I can't describe it." He took a deep breath and continued, "Please, keep an eye on my son Jared because he's all I had. Look after him Jared, he needs someone. Make sure my daughter gets Fluff Ball the cat." 

Jared had tears in his eyes and said to Frank, "You're not going to die on my fucking watch Frank." 

Frank was watching tears escape from Jared's eyes when they began to glow a bright white. Frank watched as Jared placed his hands on his chest. He thought he saw Jared's hands glow briefly, and it looked like the glow was moving from his hands to the inside of his chest. He heard Jared praying, "Creator, guide my hands to do your work on this humble but more than worthy and deserving man." Frank was watching him and didn't understand what he was seeing or hearing, but he felt very relaxing warmth inside his chest begin, and grow within him. 

Many times he had heard his men talk about how good Jared and Liam were at their jobs. Jared especially had earned the belief in his being an angel sent by God as an explanation of the unusual rate of successes he had as a paramedic. Many times the men had commented how they didn't think a victim of a shooting or accident had a chance of survival but when they saw Jared arrive to a scene, the officers were usually wrong about the outcome to the benefit of the casualty. 

Jared had never placed himself in a position for his patient to see his gifts being used before, but he had quickly sensed the importance of the immediately intervening on Frank. He could easily correct the situation once Frank is stable by altering his memories. 

Frank thought to himself that he must be dreaming. "So this is what it feels like to die. Feelings of warmth, relaxation feeling like I'm a little drunk and laying on a beach in the sun," were the last thoughts as he went unconscious. 

In his mind, Jared saw the bullet had caused a fair amount of damage. The actual bullet caused damage as it passed through a person's body, but the temporary cavity which forms from the force of travel through soft tissue creates challenges as well. The energy of the bullet creates a large gap inside a person, pushing organs and tissue outward. The gap doesn't last long as the tissue slaps back into its natural position rapidly. The energy which caused the gap continues through the body as a wave with the potential of causing more damage as it progresses. 

Jared followed the trail the first bullet had left. He found a fractured a rib and some damage to the lung as it passed through before blowing a hole in his back as it left. The second bullet had traveled through the liver and kidney barely missing the major renal arteries. Both of the bullets had travelled through layers of muscle and connective tissue, but none of that would be fatal. He concentrated on the tissue in the liver, watching it regenerate and blend together. As Jared relocated his thoughts to the kidney which had been damaged, he noted bruising on both the liver and kidneys which most likely caused by the force wave passing through them. After repairing the kidney damage, he took a quick look of the organs and decided he would leave the bruising for the doctors to monitor. It wouldn't be fatal to Frank. Jared could see no damage to the spine so he moved on to the lung. He concentrated on the hole and closed it up, except for a minor tear to account for some of the blood. There were so many things which could go wrong still such as infection but the current life threatening problems have been solved. He definitely needs fluid replacement Jared thought to himself as he lifted his hand off Frank's body. Jared pulled his drug kit out of the jump kit, quickly establishing two IV lines. 

Jared turned to Marci and looked at her, "We're going to tube him and follow protocol. Use the bag valve to saturate him with oxygen." 

Jared moved quickly and prepared for airway control. He also prepared a syringe of drugs and connected it to the IV line. He was ready, and Marci had pumped his body as full of oxygen as possible. Jared gave her a nod from his head and she squeezed the drug into the line and he watched as Frank's body relaxed. A few seconds later, Jared inserted an ET tube, secured it and hooked it up to a bag valve. Marcie took control of the bag as Jared listened with his stethoscope. 

"Good air movement," said Jared and corrected Marcie on the rate, increasing her air delivery to one breath every 2 seconds. He listened longer and said, "Decreased air sounds bottom left lobe with sounds of fluid. The rest is clear. Marci, Let's suction through the tube." They did so and Jared removed about 30 mls of blood. 

Liam was concentrating on his patient now that Marci was with Jared. Shoulder shot, bleeding but it looks like it missed bones and vital organs. It did some damage to the muscle and tendons which potentially could end his career by screwing up his shoulder. He needs fluids and some minor surgery, but nothing extra. Suddenly Liam noticed a small trail off the main trajectory. Shrapnel he thought to himself. In his mind, he followed the path until it stopped at the pericardial sac, and the object was trapped inside against the heart muscle. This is the priority Liam thought to himself. He concentrated on the object, and it dissolved. He then repaired the pericardial sac. 

Jared looked over and saw Liam's eye's glowing white and smiled as he returned to working with Frank. 

Liam was watching in his mind as the major muscles were healing as well as the tendons. He left some damage which wouldn't cause any long term problems for the man. He then concentrated in the entry and exit wounds, causing them to stop bleeding.  

Liam pulled his hand out from under the patient as the extra crew arrived. He gave them a verbal report on Dave and Liam told them to take over care. Liam then jumped over to Frank. 

"Hook up the monitor and bolus the fluids for the first 500 mls. Marcie get the vitals," said Jared. 

Jared got up and went to check the shooter. It was Conner's dad and he was obviously dead from at least 3 shots to the center of his chest. Jared checked the pulse out of routine and determined he would not commence treatment, obviously beyond help. 

They got Frank bundled up and were pushing him out to ambulance when a couple of police officers came running up and asked, "How are they, Jared." 

"They are doing very well; both are strong men," replied Jared. "Can one of you drive my SUV to the hospital? I'm staying with Frank." 

"No problem. I'll tell the Sgt on the scene," one police officer said. 

The other crew was loading Dave up at the same time they were. Liam closed the doors, leaving Marcie and Jared in the back with Frank. Liam went to the front of the ambulance to get in when he noticed two police cars indicating they were going to escort the ambulances to the hospital. There had been a large crowd gathering to watch the activities at the bank. There were enough police cars and ambulances to keep even the most particular rubber necker interested. The police had been keeping the crowds back as far as they could, but it wasn't far enough for what happened next. Emergency vehicles generally use a 40-80 watts of power for their sirens. When all the vehicles turned their sirens on at the same, it not only deafened the crowd, it created a vibration in the ground as well. 

The ambulances and SUV took off down the street. It turned out there were three police cars on escort duty for the ambulances and they took turns sliding into intersections as a physical block to cross traffic. This allowed the ambulances to proceed without stopping each time they came to another intersection. After the ambulances had passed through an intersection blocked by a police car, they would catch up quickly and pass the intersection to the next in a leap frog movement. 

Even the fire department had left their base and pulled their trucks across a couple of intersections. The firemen were standing at attention and saluting as the parade of emergency vehicles went by. 

The people along the streets and the intersections were trying to figure out what had happened. They were upset the road was blocked until the sirens of the approaching ambulances almost deafened them. What they saw was police cars leading, chasing and passing two ambulances and an emergency SUV in a real hurry. 

It took about 15 minutes to get to the hospital. The last intersection was already blocked by a police car and the officer saluted as they drove by. 

The emergency bay door was open and it looked like the entire upper brass of the police department was waiting along with two full trauma teams. 

They pulled in and Jared kicked the back doors open. The ambulances were mobbed and the stretchers pulled into separate trauma rooms. Jared went with Frank and Liam went with Dave. They were immediately transferred to the examination tables and verbal reports given as the doctors and nurse started to unhook the paramedic's equipment and get theirs into place. 

They got their stretchers and equipment and retreated to the bay to clean up. The press was trying to get in but some of the police officers were holding them back. 

Marcie looked at Liam and Jared. She said, "You guys are incredible. I've never seen anything run so smooth before and you guys didn't panic or hesitate in your treatments. You guys worked in such harmony it was as if you just had to look at each other to communicate. I learned so much today and thank you for not kicking me to the side." 

"Marcie, you were part of the team today. We needed you and you came through. You can work with us anytime," said Liam. 

They got the unit cleaned and stocked up. Jared phoned Rob to let him know what happened and how it went. 

"Marcie worked well with us Rob and she knows her shit. Cool, calm and did a damn good job. Hire her to fill one of those spots," said Jared. 

"I talked to Melanie after your earlier call and she said to do it as well. I'll call her back and fill her in on this call and how well she did," replied Rob. "Good job guys. Pass that on to Liam and Marcie for me please. I will phone the other crew personally to tell them the same thing. On second thought, you might as well tell her Jared, she starts your next schedule days." 

Jared passed on Rob's comments to Marcie and Liam. "I also filled him in on the call and how well you did. You are now full time starting on our first day shift. You'll be working on our shift, Marcie." 

Marcie hugged them both, and had watery eyes while doing it. 

"Liam, did you hear what Frank said to me when we first got there?" asked Jared. 

"Yeah I did. I almost lost it when I heard him say that," he replied. 

"I'm going to try and find his son. I remember what he looks like from our mental contact. Once I find him, I'll see how he is. I guess we also have to tell Conner he should have no fear now that his dad is dead," said Jared. 

Jared left the two to finish the restocking. Liam also restocked the bag from the SUV and locked it in the vehicle. He went to the ER Desk and asked if Frank's son was here. They pointed at a young man standing near the Police Chief. Jared walked over to the Chief and shook his hand. The Chief thanked him for everything he did. 

The Chief said, "The Doctors told me your teams of medics are top notch, and saved both of my men's lives out there." 

"We only do our jobs Chief, but I will pass it onto the crews on your behalf," replied Jared. Jared turned to the young man, "Are you Frank's son?" 

"Yes, I am," he said quietly. "My name is Mark. Thank you for everything you did for dad." 

"Mark, your dad and I are friends and he asked me to take care of you for him. He told me you are all he has and wanted to be sure you were ok," said Jared. 

The young man looked at Jared, and then tears started to roll down his cheeks. Jared reached out and pulled him into a hug. Mark was soon sobbing loudly. 

"Chief, Frank is divorced but on good terms with his wife. There is a daughter with her mom and there is a cat Frank got for his daughter as a pet at his place. Could you take care of notifications and make sure she takes the cat home as no one is going to be there to look after it," asked Jared. 

The Chief was watching and smiled, happy to see someone with Mark's interest on their mind. A few moments later Mark settled down and let go of Jared. The Chief handed him his handkerchief to wipe his nose and face. 

"That is so dad, to make sure I was going to be ok while he was lying there bleeding to death. He has always put me ahead of himself," said Mark. 

The Chief spoke up, "I will go and see if there is any news of the two men." He left leaving Mark and Jared alone in the hallway. 

"Mark is your boyfriend here or coming?" asked Jared. 

Mark looked surprised. "You know about me?" 

"Yes, your father and I talked about it," Jared replied. "It's not a problem with me." 

"I appreciate that Jared. No we broke up," he replied. 

"You can stay at my place with us tonight. You don't need to be alone at home," said Jared. 

"I don't want to bother you and your girlfriend, Jared," he replied. 

"That man over there is my boyfriend," Jared said as he pointed to Liam. 

"Really? Jared, I would love to stay with you guys. Can we sit and talk tonight a bit if we are not too tired," asked Mark with a new air of confidence. 

"Absolutely," replied Jared. 

The Chief came back and told them Dave is going in for some surgery, fairly minor and expected to make a full recovery. Frank is going in for some surgery as well. They inflated the lung from the bullet hole but they have to do some surgery to fix it as well as couple of minor bleeders they called them." 

"It means a couple of blood vessels are still bleeding, so they are going in to do some work on them, Chief," explained Jared. 

"Thanks. I was counting on you to translate it for me," said the Chief. 

The Chief spoke, "Mark, where are you staying tonight. There is no sense in you being here as your dad will be in surgery and sleeping until at least morning. I'll be here until he comes out of surgery and then one of the deputy chiefs will be with him until morning. We can call you if we need you here but I don't expect anything to surprise us the way the doctors were talking." 

"He's coming home with me and I'll bring him back down in the morning. I start days off at the end of this shift, Chief," said Jared. 

"Good plan. Are you heading home now?" asked the Chief. 

"No. I have to check upstairs with a young man who will be moving into our spare room as he lost all of his family recently. He's in here because of the vicious assault he suffered from his father," said Jared. 

"That's terrible. I hope they punish his dad," said Mark. 

"Conner felt the same way. His dad was on the run and avoiding the police," said Jared. 

The Chief's eyes opened wide and looked at Jared as recognition of who the young man was. 

Jared said, "I'll tell them. I sense there will be no trouble, and they may even become friends." 

"I will leave it in your hands Jared. If Frank trusts you, I will too," he said. 

They got to the room and saw the policeman was no longer posted at the door. They stepped in and Jared introduced Mark to Conner. They looked at each other. 

Jared had closed the door as he came in and sat on the edge of the bed. He pointed at a chair for Mark to sit in. "Conner, your father was located, and was shot dead by the police in a bank on the other side of town. I have no clue what he was trying to do, but he is dead Conner." 

Mark's eyes opened wide and looked at Jared, and then Conner. 

"I should be sad, but I'm not. He beat me for so many years that I feel happy and safe now that I know he is gone. Thank you for telling me Jared. I sincerely hope and pray he didn't hurt anyone other than me," said Conner. 

"Conner, he shot two police officers and they are both in surgery but expected to make a full recovery," replied Jared. 

"That son of a bitch. Why would he do that? Those guys just do their jobs and they have families at home," said Conner. 

"Conner, one of those police officers shot was Mark's dad," said Jared. 

Conner looked horrified and glanced at Mark. He was still sitting there with a look of shock on his face when Jared spoke, "You both have something in common. You both were hurt by the same man, by different means but hurt just as deep. I'm going to help both of you through it so the pain caused by this man will be behind you so that you may continue down your pathways of life." 

"Please don't hold me responsible for my father's action, Mark. I had no control over him," pleaded Conner. 

"An hour ago I might have," said Mark. "But after listening to you and Jared, I realize your dad was responsible for himself and I won't blame you. No matter how much it bothers us to think it; I believe we both think he got what he deserved." 

Mark stood and offered his hand to Conner. Conner got out of the hospital bed and instead of shaking his hand, pulled him into a hug. They both started to sob, holding onto each other for support. 




Paramedic Pt. 11



The door opened and the Police Chief stuck his head in. "Just thought I would see how it is going Jared. But, I see you know what you are doing and everything is good. A deputy chief went by Frank's ex-wife's place and told her, and she will also take care of the kitten." 

Jared gave him a thumbs up. The two boys never even knew there was anyone in the room but them at that moment and sharing their common grief. When the boys finally let go of each other, they seem to have bonded in the face of travesty. 

"Conner, did they decide to release you yet?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, they scheduled me for release whenever you got here. Amanda was in a couple of times today as well. She is such a nice lady to talk with," said Conner. 

"Let me go to the nurses' station and check on what has to be done," said Jared. The nurses got the paperwork together and brought it down to Conner to sign. Jared had dropped a bag with some clothes in it on the bed as they had cut Conner's clothes off him at the LGBT Center when they were treating him. Conner ran into the washroom to change. 

The nurses had dropped off a wheelchair for Conner to leave. Jared had argued with them but the nurses won saying as it was hospital policy for him to use a wheel chair when discharged. Jared looked at the two boys and said, "You heard them. Conner must use the wheelchair when being discharged." 

The nurses were sitting behind their desk but looked up when they heard the wheelchair. They all wanted to say goodbye to the nice young man who had torn at their hearts with his circumstances. What they saw was Jared sitting in the wheelchair with Mark on his lap sideways. Conner was pushing it down the hallway. 

"JARED!" one of the nurses yelled. "What are you doing?" 

"You told me Conner must use the wheelchair when discharged. He's using it!" Jared said as he laughed. 

The nurse moved from behind the desk and stood in the center of the hallway. She assumed a defiant position with her feet spread, hands on her hips and a look on her face similar to a mother who has found a child sitting in a puddle covered in mud in the backyard but having fun. 

"All three of you, up in front of the wheel chair in a line, facing me," she said with an air of authority. By now, the doctor and two other nurses were watching by peeping around the corner when they thought it was safe. 

"Stand up straight boys," she stated. 

"Mr. Bear. Not only do you know better, but you have now corrupted these two fine young men into your irresponsibility. What do you have to say for yourself?" she asked. 

"Ask Mark, it was Conner's idea," said Jared pointing at him. 

Mark spoke up, "It was Conner's idea, ma'am." 

Conner spoke up, "They ganged up on me and said they would leave me here to eat more hospital food if I didn't do it." 

Jared jumped in, "It was Mark who actually figured out how to do it though." 

Conner spoke up again, "Yeah, he said Jared and him could ride the wheelchair." 

The nurse was having a terrible time trying to keep a straight face. These three men were acting like the Three Stooges. She could not believe the difference in the two young men in the short time Jared had been with them. It was also clear to her that her coworkers and the doctor were rolling on the floor around the corner laughing. 

She then decided on a course of action. "You! Gimpy one," she said pointing at Conner. "In the chair now before I put you back in that room and bring you the hospital supper." 

Conner moved quickly and sat in the chair. 

"If you say anything Conner, it will be two more days in that room with no TV and a hospital meal served to you every two hours," the Nurse said. 

Conner saluted her, and she returned it. 

"You, the stooge they call Mark. Behind the wheelchair and grab the left handle. You, the stooge they call Jared and the ringleader," the Nurse was saying and then cut Jared off as he tried to speak, "And do not say a thing to me young man about how innocent you are. Wrong, you are guilty because I have worked with you too many years. Get your butt over and grab the right handle. Now both of you push the chair to the door so Conner can get out." 

The nurse saw Jared whisper something to Mark and thought to herself, "Oh shit, he is so damn fast at mischief." Mark pushed the chair 2 paces and stopped and then Jared went 4. Mark went 4 and so on. Conner was being moved in the chair like a skier in a slalom course. 

Conner put his hand to his mouth and said, "I am going to barf." 

"The three of you, GET OUT NOW!" 

As they went by her, she stopped them and gave them a big group hug and kissed Conner on the cheek. He blushed. She looked at the two boys and said, "Stick with this man. He's good people when he isn't trying to piss off the nurses," she said. 

Jared was trying his innocent "who me?" look and all she said was, "Stow it. I know you too well." She gave Jared a hug and whispered into his ear, "Jared, thank God you are here to help us with these cases. I truly pray God will bless you." 

Jared whispered back, "He already has. I can help people at work, and out of work. I also get to meet some good people as well as damn good and caring nurses. I have been blessed." He kissed her on the cheek. 

She stood up and barked at them, "OUT! NOW!" They quickly went down the hallway and promptly drove into the closed elevator doors. The nurse didn't need to see the action as she knew the sound of something hitting the closed doors. She heard someone say, "I thought you pressed the button," and then someone else, "I thought you pressed the button." She had had enough when she heard "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" and "you knuckleheads" being said. She turned around and saw the doctor and her two coworkers using Kleenex to blow their noses and dry their eyes from laughing so much. 

"They didn't need your help either," she said and then smiled. "Those are two lucky young men to have met Jared Bear." The others present agreed. 

They went out through the Emergency Department where Jared had parked the SUV. As they passed, they saw the Police Chief who had a smile come on his face when he saw the three men coming. 

"Any news?" asked Jared. 

"They are both in surgery and the surgeons said there wasn't as much damage as they thought. He should be out soon and then he will sleep until the morning," the Chief said. "What are you guys up to and I am very hesitant to ask from the stories I have heard here of what Jared is capable of. And don't even try the innocent act mister!" 

"Did the nurses call down already?" asked Jared. 

"Yes. They asked me to make sure you three left the building," he said chuckling. "What the hell did you three do to them? Wait, I don't want to know do I?" 

All three of the men were now using Jared's "Who me?" look. 

"Oh god, if that is a sample of what you three did upstairs, no wonder they wanted you out," the Chief said as he rolled his eyes. 

"MOVE IT CHILDREN," the Chief commanded. They saluted him and wheeled by. The Chief caught Jared by the scruff of the neck and said, "Thanks Jared. We owe you." 

"Never Chief. No one ever owes me. It's what I do," Jared replied with a serious look on his face. "This is why I am here, to heal people." Jared turned and ran after them. "Wait up you boneheads, you'll get lost." 

The Chief heard "Will not" and then a "Will too" in reply as the voices faded out of earshot. 

The Chief reflected on Jared. That man is one of the best paramedics he has ever met and saved both of his men today. His men have always spoken highly of Jared as well as Liam, but they watched him work today and could not believe how skilled he was not only in treatment but controlling the overall treatment of both gunshot victims at the same time. One of his men called Jared and Liam angels sent by God to protect people. He had also seen the change in Mark since Jared had taken him under his wing. Maybe it was true. 

The three of them got settled into the Paramedic SUV. Before pulling out, he called Rob and told him he now has two young men with him and they were heading back to the base. They got into the base and Jared introduced them to everyone in the ambulance bay. Marci was happy to meet them both and Mark hugged her when he found out she was with Jared giving treatment to his father. 

They went in and met Rob. Liam came in shortly afterwards and hugged Conner. He was introduced to Mark. 

Rob told them to head out early as they probably had things to do. The four of them all loaded into Jared's own SUV and he asked if they were hungry. Liam, Mark and Conner all yelled, "YES!" 

"Well, we are going to the mall to get some clothes for you two so we might as well stop at the Dim Sum restaurant and feed you," answered Jared. 

While the boys were eating, Jared looked at Mark and Conner. 

Conner was about 5'10", about 150 lbs and slightly built. His body was one which could be easily built up as he seemed to have a natural tone to it. He just needed to fed, taught how to work out and receive positive reinforcement. Conner had long fingers on his hands and he moved them with grace. He did jump a bit when someone moved too fast near him. He had brown hair with natural curls which was cut with no style at all, like someone had put a bowl on his head and trimmed what came past. His eyes were hazel. He didn't have much facial hair but there was some. He had a tendency to trip over his feet a bit. They were big, almost if he was entering another growth spurt and his feet grew first. His skin was a light tan colour, probably his natural colour. He was a nice looking young man although girls would probably giggle as they called him cute. 

Mark was about 5'11" and about 150 lbs. He was slightly built as well. He had a dirty blonde hair colour and it hung like a mop head. That hair had never seen a curl and it was as straight as it could be. Mark was well spoken and seemed to have a happy disposition. He had grey eyes and long lashes. When he looked at you and smiled, he could melt butter. He looked like he shaved more than Conner, but still not daily. 

They both could pack the food away and Jared had no idea where it went. Once the boys were filled, Jared took them to the clothing store. Their favorite clerk was working again and Jared told him to outfit them from top to bottom. 

They picked running shoes and casual shoes, socks, short pants, jeans, shirts, light and medium weight jackets and then it came to the underwear. 

"What do you guys normally wear for underwear?" asked Liam. 

Conner blushed and said, "All I was allowed to wear was white Y fronts." 

Mark said, "baggy boxers." 

"What type of underwear do you want," as he pointed to the rack. The boys looked at the packages and weren't sure what to choose. The salesman came over and looked the two boys up and down. 

"Well," he started, "Jared and Liam bought this type and this type," as he grabbed them off the racks. "I think you two would do well in a smaller size but same types. They are more comfortable than you would think." 

The boys were hesitating so Jared and Liam grabbed a bunch of each and took them to the cash register. When it was all rung through, the boys were shocked at the cost. What shocked them more was Jared had a black unlimited credit card which he used to pay. 

Once outside the store, they stopped and looked at Jared. Both Mark and Conner thanked them for the clothes. Jared looked at them and they needed some toiletries now. But, there was one other thing to deal with. 

"Mark. You are a very cute young man but you are really out of style with that haircut. It's chasing away what the rest of your body is advertising," said Jared. 

"Dad is always nagging my ass about my hair. You're not going to start are you, Jared?" he asked. 

"Mark, I think if you went to the place I use, they would work with you to choose a style which accents your eyes and lashes. Not hide them. Mark, think about it," said Jared. 

Mark smiled a bit and then asked Conner, "What do you think?" 

"I agree with Jared. Go and see what they can do. You're cute, but I think you could be hot with the right haircut," said Conner. Then he suddenly blushed as he realized what he had just said. "I can't believe I just said that." 

"Will you go with me?" asked Mark. 

"Liam, take Mark to the stylist and get him in. I'll take Conner and the shopping bags out to the SUV and put them in. We'll meet you there in a few minutes," said Jared. 

Liam and Mark headed to the stylist and were lucky as there was an appointment open. Liam told the stylist to wash and cut the hair, but he needed help to choose what cut. The man brought out a couple of books with pictures and started showing Mark. Mark then thought for a moment and made a decision of a hair style like Patrick Schwarzenegger has. 

The stylist was enthused about the choice. He was looking at Mark like a tasty little twink for him to devour. Jared and Conner joined Liam and agreed with the choice Mark had made. 

Jared obviously knew the stylist and he placed a hand on Mark's shoulder and said, "This young man is like a brother to me and under my protection, am I clear?" 

The stylist huffed at Jared and replied, "Of course, Jared." 

Jared then turned to Conner, "Do you want a cut too?" 

"Jared, you have done so much for me already. I can't ask for a haircut too," he replied. 

"You didn't ask. I did, so sit your butt in that chair," Jared directed. Another stylist came over and looked at Conner. 

"Do your best, please. My little brother is an ugly one and hard to work with," said Jared. 

Conner stuck his tongue out at Jared. Jared turned to Liam, "You have a bad influence on him already, Liam." 

Liam gave him the finger. 

"Boys, we will be back in about 45 minutes to pick you up. We have a few other things to pick up," said Jared. 

Liam and Jared ran to Wally World at the end of the mall and bought two sets of razors, tooth brushes, deodorants, hair gels, body wash and body spray and numerous other items they thought the boys would need. They also grabbed a fold away bed. After they stored the stuff in the SUV, they headed back to the stylist shop. 

The boys were just finished and when they saw them, Liam and Jared were shocked. The two boys had changed from cute, to very hot looking young men with their new haircuts. 

"What do you guys think of them," asked Liam. They both moved forward and hugged Liam and Jared, thanking them. 

"Let's head to the apartment," said Liam. "Shit, we better grab a few groceries to feed these two." 

"Good idea," agreed Jared. After filling the shopping cart and paying, they packed just about every square inch of the SUV. Once they got to the apartment, they hauled everything up in a few loads. Jared showed them to the spare room, now called Conner's room. They rolled the hide a bed in for Mark. The two boys were pulling out the clothes and toiletries and checking them out and talking like long lost friends. 

Liam had put the groceries away and made a bunch of snacks for the boys. They came to the kitchen island and sat to eat. The four of them were talking and laughing. 

Liam nudged Jared and tilted his head sideways towards the boys. "Boys, it is time we had a little talk. Jared and I want you guys to know a few things," said Liam. 

"First of all, Jared and I are boyfriends. We are gay," said Liam. 

Conner spoke up, "I knew that. You told me when I told you I was gay." Conner stopped speaking and got uneasy. 

Mark looked at him and spoke, "So am I. I am not sure how, but these two men had something to do with my dad accepting me after I told him." 

Jared then spoke, "Ok, so we are all gay. Now, I see you two beginning to be good friends. Young men at your age are pretty horny. I am asking you until we resolve your dad's surgery Mark, and we resolve your family member's funeral Conner, you guys do not go out and chase the first cutie you see, or each other." 

Conner blushed and Mark looked away. Liam spoke up and said, "Look, let's be honest. You two are developing a friendship and we don't want you to ruin it with sex to satisfy your lust. Give it time and when things have stabilized and you have become more than friends, it will mean something more than just a fuck." 

"You guys can also talk to us about anything and ask any questions you want. If we don't want to answer we will tell you. You guys ok with that?" asked Jared. 

They both answered, "Yes." 

"Conner, I assume from your background you are still a virgin," asked Liam. After a hesitation, he admitted it to the others as if it was a death sentence. 

Mark spoke right up after and said he was the same other than some blowjobs and mutual jacking with his boyfriend. "I actually broke up with him because he wanted to fuck me, and I wasn't ready. He was getting more belligerent and trying to get me to submit. He wasn't a virgin and I think he just wanted my cherry." 

"There are people out there like that and especially looking for hot little guys like you two. Be careful, guys," cautioned Liam. 

"That's all we wanted to say guys and I want to remind you that you can ask us anything about life, being gay, love or whatever. You guys are safe here in this apartment," said Jared. 

"We know you are adults and can't tell you what to do or what not to do. We don't want you to anything without the right reasons until you are really ready to do it with whomever you choose," said Liam. "I want you to know, I was a virgin until I met Jared. A virgin at 22 and there was nothing wrong with waiting until full sex with the one I loved." 

"I appreciate that Jared, Liam. For the first time ever, I actually feel safe and not afraid to do anything wrong and then get a beating," said Conner. 

Liam reached out and hugged him. Jared reached out and hugged Mark. 

"Mark, do you want to stay with your mother?" asked Jared. 

"No. My mother died of cancer. Dad got married again and they had my sister. Judy was always nice to me when she was with dad but we never connected. She is younger than him. She loves me in a way, but she had no idea how to deal with me as a step son. I would like to stay here if I can," said Mark. 

"Of course you can, Mark. As long as it takes to get things settled out," said Jared. 

"Ok guys, lets clean up and I want to introduce you to smudging. Boys, I am a member of the First Nations, or commonly called an Indian. Smudging is the way of the Creator to cleanse us. It is not a pagan or sacrilegious thing. It is something Christian's do themselves in various ways with incense. Do you want to try it? I think it will help you." 

The boys looked at each other and Mark spoke up, "Does it hurt?" 

"Not at all and it feels good too," replied Jared. 

Liam spoke up and said, "Different dress code for tonight Jared?" 

"Yes, that would be a good idea. We usually smudge in our underwear or with nothing on at all. But for tonight, we will do it in short pants," said Jared. 

Mark turned to Conner and said, "I will go in my underwear if you will," he said. 

Conner thought for a moment and then smiled, "Deal!" 

"Alright. I guess that is the way it will be tonight. Liam and I will set the room up a little different because we have four people and then we will get ready. 

The boys ran to Conner's room and they could be heard giggling and talking about what underwear to wear. Jared and Liam went into the smudging room and moved the table to allow extra cushions to be placed on the floor for the 2 extra people. Jared went to a cabinet and removed two fresh smudging bundles and two eagle feathers from within it and placed them onto the lower table in the middle of the cushions. 

"Liam, you will be assisting me during this smudging. You and I will smudge ourselves and then we will each smudge on of the boys. I will say the prayers, but listen good and learn them little man," said Jared. 




Paramedic Pt. 11



"You never thought I was little," smiled Liam. 

"I stand corrected Liam," Jared chuckled. 

"Let's get ready ourselves," said Liam. They left the room and went to their bedroom. They both stripped down and put their form fitting boxers on and then headed into the living room. The boys were there, wearing form fitting boxers as well. They were standing beside each other with their hands in front of their crotches. Their eyes opened wide when they saw Liam and Jared walk into the room in just their underwear. The boys definitely checked out their new friends from head to toe, lingering on their crotches. 

Liam looked at Mark. He was more solid looking without his shirt. He wasn't muscular but good form to him. Nice chest with prominent nipples. There was no hair on him except under his arms and a faint treasure trail starting at his belly button and disappearing below his waistband. He had hairless thighs and his legs were covered in fine blonde hairs. 

Jared was looking at Conner. Conner literally was trying to shrink himself by pulling his shoulders in and his head down. He was thinner and slighter than mark, but also had some natural definition to his body. His nipples were sticking straight out, hard as pencils. There were a few beginnings of sparse chest hair around the areolas. There was a definite line of brown hair above his belly button which extended down and under his waistband. His thighs and legs were covered in fine brown hairs. 

"Ok guys, we are all men here, and we will be living together for a bit. It is natural to have a hard-on at times, usually when you don't want them like now. You can be at ease with us, you may see us with them at times as well," explained Liam. "We're wearing more clothes now than we usually do in the apartment because you guys are here." 

Conner spoke up, "Liam, giving me the image of you two guys naked is not helping me go soft." 

"Me neither," squeaked Mark and then blushed. 

"What we are going to do is not about sex. It is a celebration of spirituality and cleansing the spirit," said Jared. 

"Close your eyes and concentrate. Raise both of your hands out to me. Trust me boys," said Liam. The boys raised their hands to Liam and he gathered them between his. 

When the boys removed their hands, they exposed their crotches. Mark appeared to be about 5 or 6" in his underwear at this stage. The tight underwear revealed he was definitely cut. 

Conner appeared to be quite well endowed consistent with the urban myth of the size of the feet being an indicator. He also appeared to be cut as the thick head was clearly outfitted through the tight material. Both of them had wet spots forming at the end of their outlined cocks. 

"Are you concentrating guys?" asked Liam. The both answered yes. 

Liam held their hands and waited for a moment, telling them to open their eyes. You were comfortable with your hard-ons when your eyes were closed. No one said anything or made fun of you. Now your eyes are open. Nothing has changed. Neither of you has anything to be embarrassed about," said Liam. 

"If you check the two of us out, we are half hard too looking at two very cute young men in front of us in their underwear. It happens. It's nothing to be concerned about boys," said Jared. 

The boys looked at each other and then Jared and Liam. They visibly eased and relaxed their tense muscles. "That's better," said Liam. 

Jared showed them into the room and had them kneel on each side of the table. Liam and Jared took their positions as well. All four were looking at the table with the sacred items on it. "Mark and Conner, please place your hands on your thighs flat, palms down." They complied. 

Jared explained the various objects on the table to the boys, and for Liam's benefit to learn it was well. 

Jared used a wooden match to light the first candle. While doing this, he chanted, "I invoke the light of the God within. I am a clear and perfect channel. The Light is my guide." Jared closed his eyes and chanted for a minute. 

Jared did this for each of the 3 candles. He indicated to Liam to use the second and to do the same as he was. They lit the bundles using the centre candle. When they flamed, they let them burn for a moment to ensure a good ember. Jared nodded to Liam and they both tapped them slightly within the bowl until the flames were out and smoke was rising from it. As Jared stood, Liam did as well. They both drew the smoke with their hands towards their hearts and over their heads. They did this for each arm, over their shoulders and pushing the smoke down their backs, over their stomachs, groins, and their legs. They both lifted their feet and smudged the bottoms as well. While doing this, Jared chanted prayers which the boys realized were not in English. 

Jared stood up and said to Liam, "I will do it again in English for you to remember. Mark and Conner, stand with your legs apart and your arms away from your body slightly, palms facing me." The both complied. Jared reached and gave an eagle feather to Liam and added, "Instead of your hand, use this on another person." 

Jared was in front of Mark, and Liam in front of Conner. They began to feather the smoke to each of the boys' chests while Jared prayed. 

Jared said, "We cleanse our hearts so that our hearts will feel the truth, grow with us in harmony and balance, be good and pure, be open to show compassion, gentleness and caring for others." 

Jared then spread smoke over Marks face and head. Liam mimicked him. "We cleaned our eyes so they will see the truth around us, the beauty of our Mother the earth, the gifts given us by the Creator, the love shared with us through families, friends and communities. 

"We cleanse our mouth that all we speak will be truthful, said in a way that will be positive, only good things, always full of words of praise and thanksgiving to our Creator. 

"We cleanse our ears so we will hear the spiritual truths given to us by the Creator, listen to the truth as it is shared by the Creator, the Grandfathers, Four Directions, Four Kingdoms, and be open to the request for assistance from others, to hear only the good things and allow the bad to bounce off us. 

"We cleanse our feet so that they will seek to walk the true path, seek balance and harmony, lead us closer to our families, friends, community, walk closer to our loved ones and help us to flee our enemies, and lead us closer to our Creator. 

"Mark and Conner, please kneel as you were before," asked Jared. Jared and Liam smudged themselves again, cleaning their bodies to ensure nothing from Mark and Conner joined with them. Liam and Jared both kneeled in front of the table. 

They rolled the smudge bundles until they were out and then snuffed each candle while saying, "The father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; the Creator." 

They sat for a moment and then Liam asked, "What do you think, guys?" 

They were both lively and animated while talking non-stop. They loved the ceremony and the way they seemed to feel better about themselves physically and emotionally. They had never seen anything like it before and appreciated Jared explaining things before and then using English for the prayers. 

Liam asked, "Hungry boys? Is it snack time?" 

They all got up and headed to the kitchen. It seemed like teenagers were always hungry and able to eat. Once again, Conner and Mark amazed Jared at what they could eat. "We were lucky we got groceries today Jared. The locusts here are eating everything but the plates and counters," said Liam. 

"I am going to call the Chief and ask for an update on your father, Mark. I know everything is good otherwise he would have called us by now," said Liam. He stepped out of earshot and placed the call. After talking with the Chief, Liam came back to little group at the table. 

"The Chief said everything went great. There wasn't as much damage as they we expecting but were happy with that. He also said your dad was awake briefly and asked about you, Mark. The Chief had told him you were with us, and having the time of your life from what he saw," said Liam. 

"Thanks Liam. I was thinking about him, especially in the smudging ceremony. The Chief was right. I am really enjoying myself with you guys. Maybe when he feels better, Dad can come and smudge too. He is always stressed about work and worried about me as well," said Mark. 

"You guys have had a long and stressful day. I think we should all be heading off to bed to get up and go visit Frank in the morning," said Liam. 

"Mark, do you think I can come to visit your dad too? I mean, would it upset him when he finds out who I am," asked Conner. 

Mark thought and then said, "I would like you to meet my dad. I think he will understand when he hears the whole story, especially since we are friends now." 

"Don't forget guys, we will be with you too," said Jared. 

"Are you guys going to set up the folding bed or share the big one in there," asked Liam. 

The two young men looked at each other. It was obvious they wanted to share the bed but both were shy to say it. "I don't know. What do you think Mark?" asked Conner. 

"If you stay on your side of the bed, I will," said Mark. 

"Ok you two, get ready for bed. Throw the stuff on the floor and maybe we can sort it out and get it put away in the morning," said Liam. 

The boys got up and headed to the bedroom, and then Mark ran from the bedroom to the bathroom. Jared headed in to the master bedroom while Liam finished putting stuff away in the kitchen. Liam was just turning the kitchen lights off when Mark came out of the bathroom and ran to the bedroom. Conner came out and was running until he saw Liam. He stopped running and started walking with his head down. 

"Conner, come here please," asked Liam. 

Conner walked over to him, keeping his head down. "Did I do something wrong, Liam?" he asked. 

"No, you didn't," replied Liam. Conner's head shot up and he looked straight at Liam. "May I ask you what just happened. You saw me and stopped running. Then you hung your head as if you were in shame." 

Conner looked at him with tears in his eyes. "I saw you and had a flashback to dad catching me doing something wrong. I would get punished; actually I would get punched or hit." 

Liam reached out and pulled the young man into him and hugged him. "That will not happen here, Conner. We may have discussions, but we will not beat you." 

Conner slowly began to hug him back. "Thank you Liam. I wish you and Jared had been my parents." 

"Well, we are your friends and we are going to help you be the best man you can be," said Liam. 

They stood like that for a couple of minutes. Liam looked up and saw Jared standing in their bedroom door giving him the thumbs up sign. He saw movement at the other bedroom door and Mark was doing the same thing. Liam smiled at them both. 

They broke the hug and Conner walked into the washroom. A few minutes later he came out and ran to the bedroom, closing the door behind him. Liam went into the washroom and it was obvious there were now two young men staying here. While not a disaster, they had left a trail of toothpaste and dirty towels. Liam finished his business and went into the bedroom. 

"All clear?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, and I tidied it up a bit, too," replied Liam. Jared headed out, and returned a few moments later and crawled into bed. 

Liam snuggled up to him and asked, "Do you feel like a father at all now?" 

Jared chuckled and replied, "Yes, I do. But, they are both great kids or I guess I should say young men and it is fun to have them around." 

"I have this feeling we are going to be visited tonight and have a couple of extra people in bed with us," said Liam. 

"I expect it to happen as well. They will be in bed talking and then just thinking. That is when the day's events will hit them," replied Jared. 

Almost on cue, two young men walked in and both looked sad. Mark spoke up, "Any chance we can stay in here tonight? We were talking and then all of a sudden, I realized what happened to my dad." 

"When he reacted and said it, I thought about my family too," said Conner. 

Jared and Liam pulled the covers back on the bed and the boys split and came to each side. "You two get in the middle," said Liam. Conner and Mark got into bed and arranged themselves on their sides facing each other. Liam slid up and spooned Conner, wrapping his arms around him while Jared did the same with Mark. Liam could feel the tense muscles in Conner slowly begin to release and settle down. 

"Thanks Liam. I love you and Jared for helping me," he said. 

Mark spoke up, "You guys are like big brothers to me, and I appreciate your help." 

They all settled down, and fell asleep. Conner had a couple of nightmares but when Liam pulled him into a hug, he settled down. 

When Jared woke in the morning, he carefully got out of bed. Liam sensed the movement and got up as well. They both stood there and looked at Mark spooned behind Conner and holding him tight. Conner's arms were over Mark's arms so he couldn't let go. It was real cute to see. 

As they left, they pulled the bedroom door shut. Once out in the kitchen, Liam started the coffee while Jared went to the bathroom. Jared was standing and relieving himself when Liam came up behind him and hugged him from behind, kissing his neck. 

"You're making it difficult to take a piss and not spray the wall," said Jared. 

"You don't like it?" asked Liam. 

"I just said its difficult not to piss on the wall, I didn't say stop," replied Jared. 

Liam started the shower, and closed the bathroom door. "We don't want anyone walking in do we?" 

"I like you're thinking, Liam," replied Jared as he finished. 

Liam stepped up and used the toilet right after. Jared was behind him and reached down his underwear and started to play with Liam's balls from behind. He finished and they threw their underwear onto the floor, stepping into the shower together. 

They made passionate love in the shower. Jared gave himself willingly to Liam against the wall. Their urgent need satisfied they washed and got out. They walked back to the bedroom naked and suddenly remembered Mark and Conner. "Oh well," said Liam and walked in naked followed by Jared. They looked at the bed and saw the two young men wide awake and staring at them. 

"Ok, so you have seen them now boys. This is the way we usually are here," said Jared. 

"Shit, they are both huge!" said Mark with a smile. 

"Liam, what would you say about fair play?" asked Jared. 

"Absolutely, Holmes," he said and they dove onto the bed. Mark and Conner were giggling and laughing as Jared and Liam got under the covers. Mark let out a yell and Jared threw Marks underwear across the room. Liam got Conner's and pulled them off and threw them as well. Liam and Jared started to tickle them mercilessly. Finally, Conner yelled, "I am going to piss the bed." 

Liam said, "Both of you, to the bathroom. Go!" 

The two young men got out of bed with obvious hard-ons and ran through the door. 

Jared said, "Cute butts." 

Liam added, "Conner is hung like you Jared. Mark isn't bad either." 

The two of them got out of bed and made it up. They heard the toiled flush. Liam walked over to the washroom as the door opened. "Ok you two. Get in the shower." 

"Together?" asked Conner. 

"Sure, why not? Just clean the shots off the walls when you are finished," said Liam. 

The boys ducked back into the washroom and they heard the shower start up. Jared and Liam were each drinking coffee at the table when they came out. They were both naked, and not to self-conscious now by the way they walked. 

Conner came to the table and sat down. "Jared, is it a sin to masturbate?" 

"Not at all Conner. It is a natural release. Did you enjoy it?" asked Jared. 

Conner had answered yes before he even thought about it coming out of his mouth, and then he blushed. 

"Conner, we will get you some lotion for you to use when you want to do it. It cuts down the friction and feels better," said Liam. 

"Dad was always yelling at my brother and I accusing us of masturbating. He would check our underwear and our bed sheets to make sure we hadn't done it. He was ranting all the time about it being a sin. When I had those night dreams and cum, he was furious and beat me," said Conner. 

"You want to masturbate here, it's fine. You want to do it in your room and not have us walk in on you, close the door. We will respect your space and knock before we come in," said Liam. 

Conner thought and then stood. He gave Liam and Jared a kiss on the cheek and then ran to his room. 

"We have a lot of work to do with that one, don't we," said Liam. Jared nodded his head in agreement. 

The two of them returned, wearing brief underwear. They both looked good in it. 

"You guys know how to fix breakfast?" asked Jared. 

"Sure do," replied Mark. 

"You guys do breakfast and we will clean up," said Liam. 

The found eggs and ham. Marc cut up some potatoes and fried them as well. Conner found bread for toast. It wasn't a bad meal made by the young men. While Liam and Jared were cleaning up, they told the boys to get dressed so they could head to the hospital. Soon they were all dressed and heading out. Jared called Tyler and asked him about Conner's dad's body. It would be released later in the day. Jared called Drew at the LGBT and filled him in on Conner's dad. Drew would make arrangements for the pickup later. 

They got to the hospital and gave Mark a few minutes with his dad before they went in. When they went in, Frank was smiling. 

"I hear he has been enjoying staying with you guys," said Frank. "I appreciate what you guys are doing for me. I will never be able to repay you." 

"Frank, there is nothing owed. We are enjoying him as much," said Jared. "Did he explain who this young man is Frank?" 

"Yes he did. Come here please, Conner," said Frank. 

He looked terrified but did so. Frank shook his hand and told him he has nothing to fear. His father's actions would not be held against him. Mark had also spoke highly of Conner. They talked for a while before the nurses came in to get his vitals. 

"Not you three again," she said with a smile. When she left, they had to explain to Frank what they had done the day before. 

"You two are a bad influence on my son," said Frank. "And don't even try that 'who me' look with you two." 

"I wasn't here," said Liam. "It was Mark, Conner and Jared. I'm innocent this time." 

The three instigators were standing behind Liam and rolling their eyes. Frank laughed at their antics. Jared asked if it would be alright if they took Mark up to his cabin for a couple of nights to relax and have some fun. After some discussion, Frank thought it would be a great idea as he would be in hospital for at least a few days recovering. They visited for a while longer when Frank asked if he could speak with Liam and Jared alone for a few minutes. Liam gave the boys money to go buy some food in the cafeteria and they would meet them there shortly. 

"Let me be direct," asked Frank. "I take it Conner is gay, and they seem to building a friendship or more between them." 

"We have noticed a bond between them as well," replied Jared. "I am sensing it is a bond of two young men who were caught in bad situations. There may be some exploration going on but I think they are really just becoming friends at this time." 

"We have had a discussion with them about not getting involved sexually with each other or other people until they get these events behind them," explained Liam. 

"You guys talked to them about sex? Man oh man. That is something I could never do with Mark. How did it go?" asked Frank. 

"Quite well. They understood what we were saying and I believe it will keep them thinking for a while. Then if their friendship becomes more, we will have to have another discussion with them," said Liam.

"Something I really need to know guys. How the hell did you get my son to cut his hair the first day he stayed with you? I have had him for years and he wouldn't do it," said Frank. 

"It was actually easy," replied Jared. 

"We just told him he was cute looking like that, but with a new hairstyle he would not only feel better but would look even better than cute," said Jared. "They both got their hair cut at the same time and even helped each other pick the style to a degree." 

"Interesting approach. Thank you guys," said Frank. They chatted for a few minutes more and then left to find the boys down stairs. They were sitting at a table in the corner, and had 3 young candy stripers with them. Jared and Liam sat at another table when Conner came over and asked them to join them. They did and enjoyed listening to the young people chat. Obviously they knew these girls from school.

***** 

Jared's phone rang and it was Zane calling. He stepped away from the table to speak with him. The Pastor from the Conner's family church had been in contact with the funeral home and was trying to take over the funeral for the three members of his congregation. Zane went through the arrangements he had made with the Reverend of the United Church and the service was planned to take place in 5 days. Jared appreciated his help and would deal with the funeral home and the Pastor. 

He went back to the table and explained the problem to Liam, Mark and Conner. After the boys finished their food, they all left and went to the funeral home. The funeral director met with them and informed them of the Pastor making the arrangements. 

"You were given instructions by Zane on behalf of me and this young man, the only surviving member of the family. What gave the Pastor the authority to supersede those instructions?" asked Jared. 

"He told me they were members of his congregation and the victims had left him instructions," the director replied. 

Jared sat for a moment. "I'm the one paying your bill and had clear directions given to you. Are you telling me you cannot handle my instructions?" 

The four men looked at the director and waited for his answer. "Obviously there has been a misunderstanding," the director replied. "I was led to believe the Pastor was acting on behalf of the family." 

Conner spoke up, "If he wants my father, he can have him. Mom and my brother are my responsibility." 

"I will have to talk with him about this," the director said. 

Jared had enough and he pulled out his cellphone. "Will you give us a few minutes to discuss this please, Sir?" 

"Of course. I will call the Pastor while you are talking," he replied as he left. 

Jared called John and explained the situation. John told him he would get the lawyers and Melanie on it to get it sorted out. 

The funeral director knocked at the door and came in. "The Pastor is adamant about his directions. He also told me Conner has no say in the arrangements." 

The phone rang on the Directors desk which he answered. He sat and listened, with his eyes opening wide. "Yes, I have heard of your law firm, Mr. McCoy." There was a pause for a moment. "I don't think that will be necessary," he said. The director listened for a few more minutes. "I understand, but I believe I have to follow the Pastor's request," he said. "No, he has not offered to pay for the services," he replied. He listened for another moment and then said, "Under those circumstances, I will have to await further instructions." The director was looking at Jared with what could be considered a dirty look. "I have him and the son here with me right now," he said. There was obviously more being said to him when he replied, "I understand your position. I will talk with Jared and Conner and I believe this can proceed on their directions." He hung up the phone. 

"You don't fool around do you Sir? It is not everyday someone of Mr. McCoy's notoriety calls here representing a client," the director said. "I believe this can proceed under your directions, Conner." 

"That's good," said Jared. "McCoy and Associates is on retainer to my company as well as my personal lawyer. If you have further problems with the Pastor, call him directly and keep him informed. You will find he is a better friend than adversary." 

"I believe that if his reputation is even half of what the press says," stated the director. 

They made the arrangements and the director was to work with the minister at the United Church for the service. The family members were to be cremated before the service and Conner chose two beautiful matching urns for his mother and brother. It took some coaching, but Conner chose a plain urn for his father after being assured using an old grocery bag, zip lock bag or cardboard box wasn't really the best choices for his dad, although it did feel right. 

Outside, Jared called his lawyer and asked him to look for any wills and assets Conner's parents may have had. Jared put Conner on the phone for a moment. 

"Yes, I am the surviving son and I authorize you to act on my behalf," Conner said to Jesse. "Thank you for your help, Mr. McCoy. I would be lost without Jared and you helping me." Jared handed the phone back to Jared. A few words were exchanged and Jared hung up. 

Jared called John and brought him up to speed on the developments. He asked John if he had found anything out on the church yet and listened for a couple of minutes. Jared told him to seek Jesse's help if he needed it. Jared hung up the phone. 

Liam looked at him with interest. "Let's wait a few days and see what develops. With John, Melanie and Jesse on it now there will be no more problems," said Jared. 

"Is it time to head to the cabin, Jared?" asked Liam 

"Absolutely," Jared replied. 

They headed to the apartment and grabbed a few things, heading out a short time afterwards. On the way, Jared had to slap the back of Liam's head when he got Mark and Conner going by saying, "Are we there yet?" 

They stopped at the grocery store not far from the cabin and filled up with food supplies. They arrived at the cabin a short time later. During the trip, both Conner and Mark had confessed to never having been in the wilderness before or even at a cabin. Liam assured them they would like it. 

The boys were amazed when they pulled up to the cabin, and got out to look around as soon as the SUV was parked. 

"Do not go into the forest or follow any trails from the lawn area without one of us with you," said Liam. "You guys have never been in the wilderness before and you could get lost easily up here." They agreed and disappeared around the corner. 

Jared and Liam hauled the groceries in and put them away. Liam went onto the deck to look for the boys and saw them standing at the end of the dock looking into the water. Jared came out onto the deck and took him into his arms. 

"I love being up here with you Liam," said Jared as he leaned into for a kiss. 

"What are we going to do about the dress code with those two around?" asked Liam. 

"How about loin cloths and then see what how it goes," replied Jared. They went into the cabin and put their loin cloths on, returning to the deck as the boys walked up to join them. 

"What are those you guys are wearing," asked Conner. Liam explained what they were with Jared's help. 

"We normally go naked up here or wear these but we don't want to make you guys uncomfortable." 

"Do you have loin cloths we can wear?" asked Mark. 

"We make them ourselves so it won't be problem boys," replied Jared. They two of them wanted to make them so Jared went in and got his supply of leather and sewing kit. Once they had measured the boys, they started working on the cloths. When it came time to try them on, the boys just stood there, not knowing what to do. 

"Strip off guys, and put your clothes on the table," said Liam. They boys took everything off until they got to their underwear and then paused. It was obvious they were both hard. 

"It's ok guys. No worries about being hard. We had that talk last night right?" said Jared. 

The boys slowly pulled their underwear off and stood there in their naked glory, looking at each other's hard-on sticking out in plain view. 

Conner was well endowed. Liam wondered how the kid didn't pass out from a lack of blood when he got hard. He was a good 7.5" and fairly thick. He had a nice nest of pubic hair at the base of his dick. The shaft was thicker than average, but it was the large purple head on his dick which was impressive. "I hope whoever bottoms him is well relaxed," thought Jared to himself. He had a nice little butt. The hair on his legs extended up to the bottom of the cheeks of his ass where the ended. Very nice to look at. 

Mark's dick was about 6.5" and very nice to look at. The head had a drop of pre-cum leaking from it and it dripped onto the floor. The head of his dick would be just perfect to lick and play with. The shaft was slightly thicker than average and at the base was a nest of blonde short trimmed pubic hair. His butt was quite nice to look at and totally hairless. A little conditioning and it would definitely be a 10/10. 

Jared and Liam moved forward and fitted the boys with their loin cloths and then stood back to admire them. They both had big smiles on their faces as they moved around on the deck and modelled them. 

"Can we use the hot tub sometime Jared?" asked Conner. 

Jared replied, "Of course. We can all sit in it this evening if you want. Have you guys ever gone fishing?" 

Neither of them had. "We can do that later then," said Jared. "Liam, you want to take them out for a boat ride around the lake, you can take the ski boat. Just don't go up the river with that one. The draft and motor leg stick in too deep in the water for shallow areas." 

The boys liked the idea. "What are you going to do, Jared?" asked Liam. 

"I am going to go and meditate at that spot along the shore where we slept under the stars. I need to commune with the spirits to seek clarity and direction," replied Jared. 

The boys looked puzzled at Jared's statement but were soon bouncing along behind Liam as he started walking towards the boathouse. Jared thought to himself, "It's like having a couple of children up here the way they are bouncing around and wanting to try everything. I guess it really is an indication of how starving they are for positive attention and just being allowed to be themselves." 

Liam took the boys to the boathouse, opened the door and motioned them into the boat. He showed them where the fire extinguisher was located and got them each a life preserver to wear. He let loose the ropes tying the boat and backed it out. He turned the boat and gunned the motor. The 150 Merc dug in and they were quickly on top of the water and moving quickly. Mark and Conner were standing up next to Liam and letting the wind blow their hair backwards. They were enjoying it immensely. 

Liam slowed the boat down and explained how to operate it. He let both of the boys each take turns operate the boat around the lake. When they got to the far end of the lake, they saw a couple of canoes being paddled. Liam had them slow down and explained they did this to prevent making waves for the canoes. If the waves hit them broadside, they could capsize them. 

In each of the canoes was a man and women who appeared to in their mid-twenties. They waved at the boys as they went by slowly in the boat. Once clear, they gunned the motor again. Liam took over the controls again and turned off the motor. 

He turned to them and asked, "So what do you think guys." 

"Awesome," replied Mark. 

"Love it," said Conner. 

"Its quiet out here, lets drift and just talk," suggested Liam. He told them about himself and the way his parents had been killed in an accident. Liam also explained how he had been Jared's partner at work and how they become boyfriends. Liam also explained Jared had a deep spiritual relationship with the Creator and some of his other First Nation beliefs. The boys had some questions about the beliefs and Liam answered them best he could. 

Conner talked about his home life and explained how he was prevented from having friends or participating in school activities except the Christian Youth Group who were all from his church. He talked about how his father had set him up with a few girls from the church and he had no interest at all. This was not missed by his father who beat him until he admitted he liked men and not women. His dad then beat him for being an abomination. His dad wanted to send him to a church reconditioning camp so he could learn to be straight but Conner had refused. His mother and brother were beaten as well by their father. His mom would sneak in to see Conner after his beatings to check him over and patch him up. She even took him and his brother to the hospital a couple of times after they had "fallen down the stairs." 

Mark explained how his dad had raised him after his mother had died of cancer. He had remarried and they had a girl but they are divorced now. Judy, technically his step mom, is nice but she really never knew how to deal with him. She was good about the admission he was gay though. They are not close but are nice to each other. His dad put in long hours at work to try and pay for everything they needed, including college. Mark really was home alone a lot without anyone. Even though he blamed his dad at times, he understood why he was working so much. When he came out, his dad was livid and couldn't talk to him. Frank had never hit or abused Mark in any way, and he did know his dad loved him. They just couldn't communicate until a totally unexpected event happened. One day, he came and sat him down to talk. His dad's view had changed and he did something he hadn't done in a long time with Mark. He gave Mark a loving hug and held him tight as they both shed tears. 

They had been talking for an hour when Liam started the boat and headed to shore. They stopped at the dock and tied off, Liam ran to the boathouse and got an inflated inner tube and rope. He tied it off and asked one of them to get in and he would drag them around the lake for fun. 

"Can't we go at the same time?" asked Mark. 

"By law need a spotter in the boat in addition to the operator. They watch the person being pulled around and if they fall off or something else happens, they tell the driver." The boys understood and decided Conner could go first. 

They loved it as Liam was pulling them around the lake, and snapping the line occasionally by changing directions suddenly. If a person did it right, the driver could snap the inner tube right from under the person and cause them to bounce on the water like a skipping stone. One time Liam snapped the line, Mark skipped across the lake 4 times before stopping in the water. A couple of hours later, they went back to the dock where the found Jared waiting for them. 

"I got supper ready if you guys are hungry," he said. "I just have to throw the meat on the BBQ when you're done playing." 

Conner and Mark yelled, "FOOD!" Jared and Liam laughed. 

"The locusts are back again," said Liam. 

They all made short work of the food. Soon there were just scraps and debris left on the table. They young ones had even drank some wine with their meal, and were feeling good. They didn't get enough to be drunk but when combined with a full stomach, they felt real good. There wasn't even room for the cheesecake Jared had bought in town. 

They talked about anything which came to the four men's minds while basking in the glow of a good meal. 

"I am really enjoying this," said Conner. "We were not allowed to talk let alone tell jokes or funny stories at the dinner table. Dad said it was against the teachings of the Bible. In fact, I didn't want to stay any longer than the meal with him there." 

"Dad is usually working so I eat alone a lot," said Mark. "I know he wants to spend more time with me, but he is so busy." 

Neither Liam nor Jared said anything. They just listened to the boys with focused attention. There was a silence for a moment when Liam started telling stories of when he was young. They were all laughing. 

"I think while you guys clean up supper, I will get some bannock dough made for cooking on a campfire tonight," said Jared. 

"Do we have marshmallows and s'more-making materials," asked the chocoholic Liam. 

"Of course. We have lots," he replied. 

"We can get into the hot tub first before the camp fire," suggested Liam. That met with everyone's approval. 

The kitchen cleaned and the bannock dough finished, they piled the snacks all together on the end of the counter for easy retrieval when they start the fire. 

They went out to the hot tub and pulled the cover off. Liam and Jared pulled their loin cloths off and stepped into the water and finding a corner seat together. Mark and Conner were still standing on the deck. 

"Well?" said Liam. 

The boys pulled their skimpy loin cloths off and stepped into the water. They sat near each other, but not touching. 

"So how are you two getting along," asked Jared. 

"Very well," replied Mark. "I really like Conner. Even though we just met, we seem to be real friends." 

"Same for me," added Conner. "I never really had friends before, well other than at church and they were more acquaintances than anything. I feel comfortable being with Mark." 

"That's good to hear guys," said Liam. 

"Do you guys want to sit together or are you fine where you are?" asked Jared. 

The two young men looked at each other and Mark moved next to Conner. Conner blushed but leaned his head on Marks shoulder. 

"Do you think you guys are developing more than a friendship," asked Liam. 

"We talked about it and neither one of us knows. We are very comfortable with each other and really like each other. But we remember your words of caution about a quick relationship and we will see. I never had a brother before but if that is all we end up as, I am fine with it," said Mark. 

"I feel the same way about Mark. I have never been able to show affection before by hugging or putting my head on someone's shoulder. I realize what I have missed when I do this and Mark doesn't mind the contact either," said Conner. 

"I have only been in one relationship before, and it wasn't the best one. I have watched you two and the way you guys interact and I have learned a lot. I know I appreciate being able to talk with you guys and to ask questions I could never ask my father," said Mark. 

"Me too," chirped in Conner. "Can I think of you as being my big brothers?" 

"Both of you can. Group hug!" yelled Liam. Jared and Liam got up quickly and stood in the middle of the tub. They were both far from soft, but not hard. The younger men looked at them and stood. They were both fully hard. All four of them hugged for a moment and sat down again. This time Mark and Conner sat real close. 

They soaked in the tub and watched the sun set. Jared was explaining the colour black and the power of the west direction to all of them. He went on and explained the rest of the medicine wheel; the colour white and the power of the north, the east and its powers were symbolized by yellow and finally the colour of red and the power of the south. 




Paramedic Pt. 12



"How do you know so much of this Jared," asked Conner. 

Liam spoke up, "Jared is considered to be a Shaman. A similar thing for you to compare the title with would be a high priest. I am his apprentice so to speak and am learning what I need to know from Jared." 

"Liam is more than an apprentice and is doing well at it. I don't mind explaining things for you as part of Liam's education is to understand all of these things as well. So when I explain to you, he is learning as well," said Jared. 

They had been in the tub for 20 minutes when the tub shut off automatically. "I think it is time for the campfire now, and some snacks," said Liam. 

"We are going down naked, how about you guys," asked Jared. 

"If I can hug you with a hard-on and not feel uncomfortable, I can walk around naked," laughed Mark. 

They got the materials for making snacks and headed down to the campfire ring. When they got there, a large black bear was sniffing around. Liam, Mark and Conner stepped backwards with fear. Jared stepped forward to him, coming within 6'. He was a huge black bear, probably weighing around 500-600 lbs. 

"Brother, we are going to light a fire here and enjoy fellowship. If you wish to join us, you may," said Jared. 

The bear stood on his two back legs and his massive paws hanging down. He was not in a threatening position to the person who knew bears. 

"Maskwa, my spirit guide, you honour me by being present. I can only hope I may honour you through my actions in life," said Jared. I would like you to meet my soulmate and partner who has the spirit guide of Mikisow." Jared signalled Liam to stand beside him. Liam moved up slowly. 

The bear sniffed the air and nodded his head up and down. He spread his paws and upper legs wide, then pulled them into himself gesturing a big hug. 

"Yes Maskwa, this is the man you hugged in the vision," said Jared. 

Liam looked at the bear and said, "I thank you for that hug in the vision. It gave me much security and I felt the warmth of love from it. It helped me to progress through my troubles." 

The bear nodded up and down again and then placed a paw over its heart. It held it there for a moment, and then dropped to the ground on all four paws. He started to walk towards the trees when he stopped and let loose a bellow which reverberated loudly across the lake. For everyone but Jared, it was the first time they had heard a bear roar, and this was loud. Jared remained still but the rest jumped backward and goose bumps rose on their skin. 

"Thank you Maskwa. May the blessings of the Creator be with you on your journey in life. You are always welcome here," said Jared. The bear disappeared into the trees and soon could not be heard any more. 

Marc and Conner were standing there with their mouths open, tight to each other and holding hands. "What the hell was that?" asked Mark. 

"You guys are never to approach a bear. That one was at least 500 pounds and could tear you apart if that was why he was here. Do you understand guys?" asked Jared. 

"Yes," the both said. 

"That was my spirit guide, Maskwa or the Black Bear. Spirit guides are actual spirits in the other world, but when they come to earth - they take a physical form. Their physical form is real to the touch, but they cannot be harmed. He thanked us for the offer of sharing our fire and food, but said Mother Earth provided as much food as he needed. He came to say he approved of Liam as my soul mate and to check on us here at this place. He approved of us taking in Conner and to help Mark as well. The bellow he made at the end was to warn the spirits we are under his protection, especially you two young ones. We were always safe here, but now we are safer," explained Jared. 

"Un-fucking believable," said Conner. "I thought I was going to shit myself." 

"Well Mark, it is obvious you are teaching Conner the swear words he had never heard before in his sheltered life," said Liam. "I have to admit I felt the exact same way. I was going to shit myself too." 

"Me three," said Mark. 

"Remember, I knew that was my spirit guide and I am a shaman, but I still had fear within me even knowing. You guys may see all kinds of wild animals here. Never approach them because not everything around here is spiritual. Some of the animals have teeth," said Jared. "Now let's light the fire and get roasting some bannock." 

The fire grew quickly with all the dry wood. Jared showed them how to wrap the bannock dough around the marshmallow sticks and cook it. When it was done, he had honey, sugar and cinnamon, raspberry jam and molasses to roll them in. They loved it.  

Liam showed them how to roast marshmallows and also how to make s'mores with graham wafers, hot marshmallow and hunk from a chocolate bar. The boys really enjoyed themselves. 

"Guys, it is late and bed time. I can see you guys are getting a little sleepy. How would you like to sleep under the stars tonight, right here beside the campfire?" asked Liam. 

The boys were worried about animals but Jared assured them it was no problem. When they went to the cabin to take all the food back and get some blankets, Jared grabbed one of his rifles. The boys were interested to look at it. They didn't even seem to notice anymore they were still naked. The two of them were getting more comfortable being nude around other people. 

They laid out their blankets on the ground, and covered themselves as a group. Liam was spooned behind Jared, and Mark behind Conner. They were all soon asleep. 

It had been light for a couple of hours already but the sun wasn't over the tree line until 0530 am. It was going to be another beautifully warm day. Jared got up, and he had a full on piss hard-on as he headed to the bushes. After relieving himself, he saw the other three were still dead to the world. He tapped Liam on the shoulder gently which woke him up. He looked over his shoulder at the two boys still spooned together. Liam headed over to the bush to relieve himself. After they ran up to the deck and pulled the cover off the hot tub and climbed in. 

Jared at down on a seat and Liam climbed onto him, kneeling and straddling him. Liam grabbed his head and kissed Jared hard and furiously. Liam was working his way around Jared's ears and neck, kissing and licking his neck. Liam could feel Jared's hard dick rubbing his own cock as he moved. 

Jared guided Liam up and over to the side of the tub, sitting on the edge out of the water. Liam's cock was as hard as a diamond cutter with that purple head on top of the shaft catching Jared's attention. He leaned in and blew his breath across Liam's left nipple while playing with his ball sack. Liam groaned and grabbed both sides of Jared's head. He blew across Liam's nipple again and he groaned even louder. 

"Jared, that feels so incredible when you do that. My nipples are so sensitive," said Liam. 

Jared reached up and with both hands and started to brush over Liam's nipples while he took that solid piece of meat into his mouth. 

"Oh God Jared," cried Liam. 

Jared was twisting Liam's nipples lightly while bobbing up and down on his hard dick. Jared paused long enough to lean up and kiss Liam on his lips. 

"Liam, let's get up on the picnic table. I want to be inside you," said Jared. 

Jared climbed onto the picnic table then slid down and started to lick and kiss around his belly button and down Liam's blonde treasure trail. Then, he moved down and gently used one hand to grab Liam's dripping, hard cock and then put it into his mouth and Jared starting sucking it. Liam cried out in sheer ecstasy at the feelings he was experiencing. Jared spread and lifted Liam's legs to give him access to the tight little rose bud. Jared started to kiss and nibble his way down from the balls to Liam's asshole. He started to lick it gently, playing with it, thrusting his tongue in. 

Jared leaned back and turned Liam over onto his front. He reached over and grabbed the lube squirting some onto Liam's asshole and on his fingers as well. Liam shift position onto his hands and knees with his ass high for Jared. Jared inserted one finger gently and kept going until it was buried. Then he started to twist his finger as he moved it in and out of Liam. Liam was panting and then said, "Jared, I need you in me." 

Jared saw that Liam was quite relaxed and lubed his own hard cock. He came up behind Liam and placed his cock at the sweet asshole. He pushed in past the first ring with his cock and waited for a minute. Liam groaned in response and pushed backwards, allowing Jared to fully enter him as deep as possible. Liam let out another groan. 

"Liam, are you ok my love?" asked Jared. 

"I am better now than I have ever been. I needed you in me to feel complete," he replied. 

Jared started to thrust in and out of Liam slowly, building up speed and strength of his thrusts. Liam was moaning non-stop and thrusting his ass back to meet Jared's inward movement. Jared stopped and pulled out. He rolled Liam on his back and moved back into position. He thrust into Liam all at once. Jared leaned down and kissed Liam hard on his lips. After breaking the kiss he started to pound in and out of Liam. Liam rolled his head back, his mouth open and eyes closed and moaned wildly. Liam grabbed his own dick and started to pump it wildly. "Jared, I'm cumming," he said. 

"So am I Liam," as Jared thrust in as deep as he could. Liam could feel Jared's life essence being pumped inside of him and that was enough. Liam came and shot rope after rope of cum out and onto his chest and face. Jared laid down on Liam, smearing the cum between their bodies, and kissed him. "I love you Liam," he said gently. 

Liam and Jared heard the sound at the same time. The looked over and standing at the edge of the deck, looking through the rails was Conner and Mark. They both had hard-ons and were masturbating each other furiously. They must have been there for a while because they were both coming as Jared and Liam saw them. They both shot massive loads onto the deck rails. They looked horrified when the realized they had been spotted. It looked like they were going to run away. 

"Come on up boys. We will get the coffee ready and we can all have a cup," said Liam. 

The boys slowly came onto the deck, their cocks slowly softening but still dripping sperm out of them. They were both acting sheepish and staring at the ground. Jared and Liam walked towards them and gave them both hugs. 

"You're not mad at us?" asked Mark. 

"Not at all. We were out in public showing our love for each other without thinking you guys might get up. If the rest of our brothers come up when you are here, you will find more than one couple going at it somewhere. We all express our love openly," explained Jared. 

"What did you guys think about it," asked Jared. 

"It was fucking hot!" said Conner. 

"Well, you guys beating each other's meat was pretty hot for us too. You guys are really cute, and even cuter together," said Liam. 

"I'm sure you guys have questions but I need coffee and I am sure you guys are hungry," said Jared. 

"Those were pretty impressive loads you guys shot off too," said Liam. "We could see the spray from up here." 

"Liam is right, you two are pretty hot young men," said Jared. 

"You two really think so?" asked Conner. 

Liam grabbed him into a hug and said, "Yes, you are. Conner, you are very well hung and Mark isn't bad either. Mark has the better bubble butt though." 

Conner broke free of Liam, turned around and bent over, "What's wrong with this butt." 

Liam reached over and gave it a small pinch. "Yup, definitely grade-A butt there." 

"I'm hungry," said Mark. "Conner, put the cute little butt away and let's get breakfast going." 

"I agree," said Jared. "I like your progressive thinking Mark." 

They all headed in and pitched in to make pancakes, scrambled eggs, muffins and sliced ham. They all ate everything which had been prepared. While the boys were cleaning up, Jared hooked up his laptop to the phone to check his email. 

There were a couple of messages from John. The first one advised him Jesse McCoy was dealing with the church Pastor and basically pounding him into the ground. The Pastor had the mother's will as well as the will from Conner's dad. He also produced a handwritten amendment dated and timed an hour before the man had been killed. The amendment wasn't legal but it tried to cancel the actual will and leave everything to the church, appointing the Pastor as executor. Mr. McCoy had copies and turned them over to the police for a fraud investigation. They are cooperating fully and pushing hard to get answers. Jesse also sent the information to a contact in the IRS as an irregularity. The contact was very interested and mentioned they had been watching the Pastor and the church for a while. He had also slapped court orders on the Pastor for no contact with Conner and a prohibition from being present on any of his family's property or where ever Conner was in public or residing. Just to keep the Pastor on the run, he had filed the wills and the amendment with the courts asking for an investigation and freezing all assets until probated. He had found Conner's home already listed with a realtor and naming the Pastor himself as the owner. He had filed a court order with the realty company and they had filed a breach of contract suit against the Pastor. John had brought in security people to monitor the Pastor and video tape his activities. 

The funeral was under control and set at the United Church. The funeral director was more than cooperative when Jesse provided him with copies of the fake will and the real ones. The father's will hadn't been changed legally after he kicked out Conner and everything went to him and he had full control of the family's disposition. There was life insurance and a couple of other accounts with money they will have to investigate where it came from. It wasn't consistent with Conner's dad's income. 

John had made arrangements for a service for Conner's mom and brother with a simple burial of his father's ashes. He had bought 2 plots in the cemetery and after cremation; his mother and brother would be in one plot and his father in the other. 

Jared laughed and showed Liam the screen with the email. He laughed as well. 

"I think the boys should see this Jared," said Liam. 

Jared called the boys over to read the email. They looked at each other and then Jared. "I hope we never piss you off Jared," said Mark. 

Jared hugged him and told him no worries. He only released people to Jesse to be dealt with when they intentionally try to hurt other people. 

"What does that mean about the other accounts," asked Conner. 

"It could mean a lot of things, but they will look at if the money was obtained illegally or through legal means. There is more in the accounts than a man who earned what your dad did at a job should have. He may have won a lottery or got an inheritance which is both explainable. But it could be from something not legal as well," explained Jared. 

The boys went back to the kitchen to finish up. Jared opened the second email from John and it had details about the church he had asked for. 

There was an email from Tyler. They had gone through Conner's house looking for evidence and a reason for why his dad snapped. They found a false floor in the closet of the master bedroom and it went down into a handmade storage area. He had even used concrete wire and shotcreted the walls and floor to keep moisture low. They found all kinds of weapons and ammunition stored there in boxes. There was approximately 25 AR-15 rifles and 20 handguns, semi-automatic 10mm. One of the crates had the churches address on it as the destination. 

The last email was from Troy. He and Tyler wanted to come up if they weren't coming back today. He sent an email in reply inviting them and gave them shit for not coming up last night. We would be here 2 more nights. He explained about Conner and Mark up here as well. 

Troy replied a couple of minutes later and thanked him and they would be leaving with an hour, if he could get Tyler's big, but well used ass out of his bed. 

Jared sent another message back and told them he had forgotten to mention they wanted to do a sweat either tonight to tomorrow. 

Troy said he would get a hold of Josh and Darren and see what they were up too and maybe they would come up as well. 

A few minutes later, a message came from Josh saying they would be up after lunch. Darren is walking funny and needs time to recover. 

Jared sent a message back to Josh and thanked him for his quick message. He knew the hose puller can't write so it was good you could do it on his behalf. 

A message came back from Josh telling him when Darren read the message, he smacked his ass because he couldn't do it to you. What was this about another brother and maybe two? 

Jared sent a message back saying he would explain when everyone was up here. 

Jared signed off. 

"There was a lot of typing and message dinging going on there Jared," said Liam looking over his shoulder. 

"Everyone is coming up for a couple of nights. We better hit the grocery store in town to feed the army coming," said Jared. 

Mark and Conner had heard the comment and asked what Jared meant. 

"Our other brothers, our family is all coming up today and staying for the next couple of nights. You two have met most of them and you will meet the rest. You will like them," said Liam. 

"I was just getting used to going naked and now I have to get dressed again," said Conner. 

"Not a chance, these guys will tear off their clothing and join us as soon as they get here," replied Liam. 

"Are two of them those hot cops I met at the hospital?" asked Conner. 

"Yes, they will be running around here naked as well as their boyfriends. You guys will like them," said Liam 

Mark thought and looked at Conner, "We just learned not to get a hard-on with you two and now there is more coming. Man, I don't know if I can do it." 

Jared laughed, "Remember how they were were joking and acting at the hospital. We are all worse when together. When they see you two little cuties, they will be having trouble not getting a stiffie." 

"Let's get showered and dressed to head into town," said Liam. "We need groceries and food to keep them happy or they would BBQ one of you two little guys as prime tender meat." 

By the time they got through the showers, dressed and into town it had been about 1½ hours. The shopping cart filled quickly with supplies. Liam made sure there was lots of chocolate, graham wafers and marshmallows for s'mores in the cart. Jared knew he was running low on elk steaks so he bought a dozen rib steaks for the BBQ tonight. He also got ground hamburger for tomorrow night and lots of sliced meat for sandwiches. Mark and Conner asked if they could get some soda and Liam let them get the reduced sugar cola. 

"You two are going to eat pretty healthy with us. We are also going to get you guys working out with us so you can toughen up those cute little bodies of yours before you get old and fat like Jared," said Liam. 

A hand come out of nowhere and smacked the back of Liam's head. 

"I stand corrected," said Liam rubbing his head. 

The boys laughed. They got their overfilled shopping cart to the cashier and started piling things on the counter. The bag boy was about Conner's and Mark's age and he started talking to them. Liam heard them tell the young man Jared and Liam were their brothers and they were staying with them at the cabin. They didn't want to say too much to this guy, although they both thought he was cute. 

They got the groceries out to the SUV and loaded them in. Conner took the cart back into the store and came out running. He jumped in the SUV. 




Paramedic Pt. 12



"That bag boy gave his telephone number," said Conner. "He thought I was cute, but I am not interested in him. I know I am not looking for anything right now except my new friend Mark. I am happy with him," said Conner. 

Mark perked up. "Really? You like me?" 

Conner nodded his head shyly. "I just didn't want to say anything because you might think I wasn't serious because of losing my family." Conner had a tear in his eye. 

"I do like you Conner. Can we just be friends for a while until dad is out of the hospital and you feel better. Then we can see about being boyfriends if we still feel this way about each other," said Mark. 

Conner smiled and said, "I can do that Mark." 

"I think that is pretty responsible for both of you. Good choices and decisions guys," said Liam. He also noted out of the corner of his, they were now holding hands. 

When they got back to the cabin, Troy's sports car was already there. "They must have been really moving to get here," laughed Jared. 

Two naked men come running out of the cabin and helped them haul the groceries in. Conner and Mark were trying not to look directly at Tyler and Troy's bodies. 

"Let's get back into dress code guys," suggested Jared. 

Everyone was soon naked and it seemed like the first little while Conner and Mark were always standing behind a chair, the table or the counter when talking to Tyler and Troy. 

"You guys want to learn how to waterski?" asked Tyler. 

"Yeah we do," Conner replied. "Will you teach us?" 

"Of course I will, let's go and get the equipment together and make sure the boat has fuel. You coming Troy?" asked Tyler. 

"Damn right I am. I am not letting you out there with two little cuties to make sure you stay acting like a big brother," replied Troy. 

Conner looked at Troy. "You think we are little cuties? Seriously?" 

"Damn right. We get you doing some exercise like running and you two will have even better bubble butts and abs. I've had a hard-on a couple times seeing you two," said Troy. 

"Me too," said Tyler. "You two are so cute I can barely control my pecker." 

"You guys aren't bull shitting us, are you? You guys have problems keeping your dicks soft when you see us?" asked Mark. 

"Yup. No bullshit buddy. Big thing around here is we all get hard-ons at times. It's really no problem, or in Tyler's case, no big deal - if you catch my drift." Troy ducked after saying that so Tyler would miss slapping the back of his head. 

"Let's go skiing," said Tyler. Mark and Conner stepped out from behind the counter and weren't fully hard, but were well on the way. 

"Nothing to be ashamed of from what I see, little brothers," said Troy. "Let's go boys." Liam also joined the water skiers in the boat. Jared went to the end of the dock and laid out to suntan. He also brought his camera and throughout the afternoon took some pictures of everyone having fun. 

The two boys did real well at water skiing and enjoyed it immensely. They both had skateboards which gave them a real advantage for the single ski and they caught on real fast. Darren and Josh arrived and after dropping their bags in the cabin, they came down to the dock for sun tanning with Jared. 

"Any word on Frank?" asked Jared. 

Josh replied, "He's actually doing very well. He could be out in a couple of days. He is so happy you guys have Mark up here with you. He is real concerned about the kid. Frank also wanted to know about the cabin and by the time we finished telling him all about it he wants to come up too." 

"He would be welcome, but I am not too sure how comfortable he would be," said Jared. 

"Maybe we could have a loin cloth weekend and keep the spontaneous love making out of sight while he was here," offered Darren. 

"Well, we could talk about it at supper," suggested Jared. "He might enjoy a sweat." 

"When he sees we talk with animals, spirit guides and other spirits, I think poor Frank would crack," laughed Josh. 

The guys all came in from the lake and ended up at the dock. "Is it supper time yet?" asked Conner. 

"Not a bad idea. Maybe you and Mark could help me get things ready. When we get the main part done, I think Chef Jared will BBQ the steaks for us," said Liam. 

"Chef Darren and his bitch Josh volunteered. I'm on clean up this time," said Jared. 

"Darren's Bitch?" ranted josh. He moved quickly and grabbed Jared and jumped into the water pulling him in with him. 

Liam went up to the cabin followed by Mark and Conner. "I see you have no problem being naked anymore." 

"Nope," replied Mark. 

"I am beginning to really love it," said Conner. 

They started some potatoes baking in the over and got salads as well as garlic cheese toast ready. Mark wasn't too bad in the kitchen but Conner obviously didn't spend much time cooking. He had told Liam his dad never helped his mother cook as that was womanly duties required by the bible. Liam had explained everyone needed to learn how to cook to survive when living alone. It was also a good way for couples, gay or straight, not only to work together but to have time to talk together while working with the food. He told them Jared and he loved the time together preparing and cleaning up after the meal. The boys listened to his every word. 

It was about 40 minutes later the rest came up from the dock. Darren turned on the BBQ and scraped the grill. He joined the rest of the guys who had either a beer or a glass of wine in the kitchen. Even Mark and Conner were allowed to have a beer, but only under their supervision with permission. They understood and appreciated it. 

Supper was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Liam went to the freezer and brought the chocolate cheese cake they had bought earlier. There were only crumbs left a short time later. 

It had been a good day all around. After everyone sat in the hot tub for a while, they started a fire and sang songs. Liam made s'mores and showed Mark and Conner how to get chocolate on both sides of the marshmallows. 

They put the fire out about 1030, and headed off to bed. Everyone was in their own room, with the doors closed. 

Jared and Liam were resting after an intensive love making session. "I think those two boys are really thriving out here with all the attention they are getting. I think they were both starving for love and interaction with people," said Liam. 

"You're right Liam. I have seen the changes as well. Both are more confident and Conner seems to be coming out of his shell quite well." 

"Am I stupid to feel like a big brother and almost a dad to them," asked Liam. 

"No, you have the instincts within you to be a good parent. I know I could do it, but you Liam are a natural," said Jared. 

"So do you want to move in with me?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, I do," replied Liam. "How soon?" 

"Well, what is your lease like," asked Jared. 

"Monthly," said Liam 

"Do you want to move into my apartment or should we find another which is ours. Maybe we could look at houses as well. They are a good investment and there are some real good deals on right now," asked Jared. 

"There are some houses on the edge of the city on acreages for sale. Maybe one of them has a pool and a nice back yard where we can suntan or play volleyball in the nude," said Liam. 

"That could be something, so I take you are interested?' asked Jared. 

"Yes, and I could help pay for it too. It would truly be our house. It would probably have to have a few bedrooms and bathrooms too for all of our brothers if they visit, and any orphans you pick up along the way." 

"Your serious aren't you Liam?" asked Jared. 

"Yes Jared. It would be our home and big enough to hold friends. We could build a sweat lodge out back too!" said Liam. "Should we check with John and see if renting an apartment is better value or is buying a house." 

"He is rubbing off on your already," said Jared. "I was considering buying a building and using the top floor as an apartment. I am beginning to like your idea of the acreage better." 

"Let's snuggle and sleep on it," said Liam. Jared pulled him in, kissed his neck and spooned behind Liam. They feel asleep a short time later. 

In their bedroom, Mark had introduced Conner to a blow job, which Conner had replicated with coaching. Conner had got better the second time they did it. They had talked about if it would violate their word to Liam and Jared but thought they would ask them in the morning. Sometimes it was better to ask forgiveness after the fact. They were snuggled together facing each other, holding hands and watching the other fall asleep. 

After having breakfast in the morning, they put their heads together and figured out what to do for the day. Liam would take Mark and Conner to pick rocks for the sweat tonight. They would also return the previously used rocks to the river shore.  

Jared was going to work on his computer and needed to check his emails regarding Conner and the building he was considering for investment. He was going to contact a couple of realty companies he thought might be able to him find a home to buy. Tyler and troy were going to ride the quads on the trails while Darren and Josh were going fishing. There was something for everyone's time to be kept occupied. 

Liam edged the jet boat up to the shore and Mark jumped out with the rope to tie it to the washed out tree lying on the shore. They took the rocks from the boat and spread them out throughout the shore. Liam walked about the area and pointed at various rocks and the two boys took turns grabbing the rock and hauling it to the boat. They were lucky they had put their loin cloths on to wear as a dozen canoes went by them filled with girl scouts. The three near naked men on the shoreline were of interest to the girls but their leaders yelled at them to keep going down river. Liam and the boys received some dirty looks from the leaders as their canoes went by. 

"You should have more clothes on when you are in public," one of the leaders in the last canoe yelled to them. 

Liam yelled back, "The people of Mother Earth have dressed like this for thousands of years in this area. We're comfortable with what the Creator has given us in mind, body and spirit." 

The leader had huffed and the two adults in the canoe paddled faster. Soon they were all out of sight around the bend in the river. The boys laughed at the girls. "The leaders didn't realize how safe the virtue of the girls was around us three, eh?" They all chuckled at the truth of his statement. 

After collecting the rocks, Liam got them all water to drink. "Conner, you said once you wanted to be a paramedic someday. Is that still your ambition?" asked Liam. 

"Yes it is, but I can' afford it. I have to get a job to even survive and pay you guys back," he replied. 

"Conner, we are helping you out because we can. We don't expect anything in return from you like money. Did you have the marks at school to go to college?" asked Liam. 

"Yes, I did quite well at school. I had to or I got a beating," he replied. 

"It wasn't the right way to motivate you Conner, we both know that. But at least you did get good marks and you can go to college if you choose," explained Liam. 

"Yeah, I guess so," said Conner. 

"You have had a lot of wrong done to you. We can't change that no matter what we could try to do. What we must do now is find some positive things which developed out of your previous life, and build on those for you to move on," said Liam. 

"I sort of understand Liam," replied Conner. 

"One of the big things to remember is your inner strength and willpower. You survived everything your father did to you and are now moving on to a new life. He did his best to beat you into submission, but he didn't succeed because of your spirit," said Liam. 

"I guess that is one way of looking at it," Conner replied. 

"People can get lost in the past and become the victim they were meant to be. None of your new brothers will allow you to do that Conner. We will help you move into the future and succeed in the life you wanted," said Liam. 

"I believe you Liam," said Conner. "I'm scared not having the security of the home I lived in. It was a bad situation, but I knew I had meals and shelter. You guys have given me meals, shelter and are helping me cope with my new life. I really do appreciate it, Liam," replied Conner. 

"It's our pleasure to do it Conner. You are a good young man with potential. Mark, what about you and your dreams of a job," asked Liam. 

"I have completed the first year of college, but it was pretty general without a major. I am not sure what I want to do for a job," answered Mark. 

"What was your dream job," asked Liam. 

"Believe it or not Liam, business school. I would like to learn how to administer a business including the financial side," he answered. 

"So you want to complete Business Administration. How many years is that?" asked Liam 

"For a college diploma, it would take two more years. For a university degree, it would take 3 more years. My first year of college is transferrable credit," Mark replied. 

"Which do you want to do and what is holding you back?" asked Liam. 

"The university education will get me better jobs but the college diploma will get me out and working faster. I know don't know how dad will be able to pay it even with me getting a job this summer," he answered. 

"I remember talking to business students when I was at college. Isn't there some practicums involved in the second and third years you need to complete," asked Liam. 

"Yes, I have to find a business willing to take me on in a learning role. I don't know where to start even looking for one," Mark answered. 

"If I was to get you a practicum sponsor with a multimillion dollar business management firm, would that help? They manage properties, investments in buildings, a few companies they own and even have some stock portfolios they play with. There are over 500 employees in their company," said Liam. 

"Wow. Could that be arranged?" asked Mark. 

"I will follow it up with someone I know and let you know," replied Liam. 

"Cool. Thanks Liam," answered Mark. 

"I think we should get these rocks back to the cabin," said Liam. The guys untied the boat and took off upriver towards the lake. Liam noticed the boys were smiling at each other when Mark reached out and took Conner's hand shyly. Conner tightened his grip on the hand and looked at Mark with a big smile. 

They were entering the lake when Liam noticed more canoes coming out of the river on the other side. It looked like more girls. Liam turned to drive past them at a safe distance. It was more girl scouts and they were all waving at the three good looking young men standing up in the boat wearing nothing but loin cloths. The three waved back and Liam turned the boat to head deeper along the lake. 

At a safe distance, Liam gunned the boat and the rooster tail behind them was immense until they rode on the surface of the water. They looked back and the girls were still waving at them. 

About 20 minutes later, they got back to the cabin and Liam gently beached the boat. They took the rocks up to the fire pit and set them on the fire which had already been started. They piled more wood on top. 

Jared joined them at the fire ring. Darren and Josh came up from the boat house and joined them as well. 

"How was fishing?" asked Mark 

"It was really good. We kept a few and need to clean them. Maybe we can toss them on the BBQ after the sweat tonight," said Darren. 

"Good idea. Fresh fish is always good," said Jared. "How's the gas doing in the boats and the boat house?" 

"It looks like it is getting low in the boat house Jared. Is it time to make a trip down river to Tom's place?" asked Josh. 

"It might be a good idea. It will take about 3 hours for a round trip but I need someone to stay and keep the fire fed with wood," said Jared. 

"I'll stay. Maybe Mark will stay with me so I don't get bored. Take the hose puller with you, he can lift the barrels. You know, strong and dumb," volunteered Josh. Josh ducked as Darren swung for the back of his head. 

"Missed me," Josh laughed as danced away. 

"Ok. Let's get the empty barrels in the jet boat and get going," said Jared. As they were loading the 5 empty 205 liter barrels into the boat Tyler and Troy drove up on the quads, covered in mud from head to toe. They volunteered to stay behind and tend the fire after they had washed the bikes and the coveralls they were wearing. It would also give them a chance for sun tanning. 

The guys loaded into the boat and Jared took the controls. Liam told them about the two groups of girl guides on the river. Considering the time frame, they may arrive at Tom's marina the same time they are going by. Tom was about 75 years old and ran a small confectionary, camping supplies, fast food, gas station and boat rental place at the town they bought groceries at. One side of his building had access from a parking lot and the other side had access from the river. Tom had been running it for years and enjoyed it. Although he was 75, he was in better shape than most 50 year olds. He worked it during the summer with his grandkids as his wife had passed away a few years ago. 

Jared nosed the jet boat onto the river, going downstream. He throttled back to about 60% power, just enough to keep the boat planeing. He explained how to read the water ahead of them to prevent hitting floating debris, rocks or shallow areas. He said the shallow areas were the worst in this river as the sand bars shifted positions. Everyone was listening with interest. 

"There are some rapids up ahead. You won't even feel them really in this boat but it can get rough if the river is high," Jared told them. As they came around the bend, they would see the rapids Jared had spoken of. He slowed the boat to a crawl to explain them. 

"The next mile is basically solid rock bottom along an old fault line. The water over the years has eroded the rock into a river. What causes the rapids is the debris falling off the rock walls and landing in the river. The water is fast and shallow here, no deeper than 5 or 6 feet at this time of year. The force the water is shot through this narrow area is pretty bad at times," explained Jared. 

"If you look down the centre, you can see a series of rapids which have white caps on them. That means shallow rocks, and we want to stay away from them. The right side of the river is good for canoeists if they stick close to shore. It's pretty easy over there. What we have to do in this boat is almost follow a route which is "S" shaped. There is an island about 2/3's of the way and we cross from one side to the other in front of it. Make sure you guys hold on and keep a look over the bow for rocks. This is the first time this year I have been up and I have no clue what fell since last year. 

The 26' heavy aluminum boat was designed for river travel. It had a couple of bench seats in the bow in front of the dashboard area, and bench seats along each side of the back. It was 6' across which gave it lots of space for gas barrels and people. 

Jared eased the boat forward up the right side of the river and scanned for safety. He put it back up to about 60% power and stared breaking through the rapids. Water was splashing over the bow soaking the guys in the front. They didn't mind and were enjoying themselves. The island was coming closer and Jared swing to the left and the boat found itself running along between two rapids. Conner's mouth was open in shock as he looked from side to side and realized the rapids they were between were higher than the boat and the people standing in it. Jared was watching the rapids and the path in front of him. He turned into the rapid on the right, cutting up it at about 45 degrees as he put more power to the motor. They dug into the rapid about ¾ of the way up and the water came over the bow, soaking everyone completely. They came off the rapid and were airborne briefly before they hit another one. Jared was slicing the boat through the rapids, the bow going up and down giving the guys in the front a ride better than an amusement park. He turned the boat slightly towards the river shore for a moment, and turned hard down river. Everyone looked over the edge of the boat and realized Jared had avoided a huge rock, just barely under the water. Jared turned the boat again, causing a huge wave to crest over the side once again soaking everyone. Jared then turned the boat towards the middle of the river and gunned it. They went shooting across a series of lower rapids which went on for about a ½ mile. The boat and everyone in it were bouncing up and down in their seats. The rapids were thinning out finally and the water was becoming calmer. They were back onto smooth water. They guys were all up giving each other knuckle bumps and laughing about the fun they just had. 




Paramedic Pt. 12



Jared leaned over to Josh and said, "The fuel drums are secured right?" Josh nodded. Jared smiled at him and said, "Get Liam, Mark, Conner and Darren in the stern of the boat." 

"No problem," Josh said with a smirk. 

The guys had moved to the stern of the boat as they came around a bend in the river. Beyond the bend was an area like a small lake. On the other side of it was Tom's Marina. 

Jared yelled over his shoulder, "Hold on tight boys!" In the middle of wide open area, he swung the steering wheel sharply to the left. A jet boat is not a deep hull boat. This one is a 4 degree hull which is enough for control but it slides across the water easily. The boat abruptly slowed as the stern violently swung around in a circular motion. The boat was now basically pivoting on the bow in a circular motion as the water being expelled from the impeller threw the stern sideways. The guys in the back were flying all over and grabbing at each other as they tried to grab something. The boat did 2 complete 360 degree circles. The four men were now all squished on top of each in the right corner of the boat where the side meets the transom. Jared killed the power to the motor and started laughing with Josh. 

They looked at the mess of legs and arms sticking out all over the place in the corner. They finally got themselves untangled and stood on unsteady legs. "What the fuck happened," asked Darren. 

"That is what they call centrifical force my good man. You guys just pulled a pile of G-force which is why you all ended up in the corner. I told you to hang on," said Jared. "That was what we call a victory roll in a jet boat." 

"Can we do it again," asked Mark. 

"Only if you give me sea sick pills," said Conner. 

Liam came up and kissed Jared and then said, "Asshole. I knew something was going to happen when Josh moved us all to the back." 

The guys got themselves sorted out and were thinking that last manoeuver was pretty cool. "Lots like a lot of canoes at the beach around the marina," said Liam. "It must the girls again." 

"Ok, make sure your dick is covered in cloth boys, we are going in," said Jared. Jared gunned the boat and finished the trip across the bay, slowing down as approached the marina. Yes, there were girls everywhere watching the six young men in the boat pulling in to the dock. As Jared edged her in, Darren and Liam jumped out and pulled the boat into the dock with ropes, tying them to the dock hooks provided. 

"Darren, Tom has some great fish batter up there in the store. He makes it himself. You should get some for your fish," suggested Jared. 

Josh had got the gas pump hose onto the boat and started to fill the inboard tank. He had Conner and Mark taking the bungs out of the barrels to fill them as well. He had the young guys move three empty barrels to the bow before they were filled. He explained they were balancing the load for the boat or they wouldn't be able to plane on the water if it was all in the back. 

One of Tom's grandsons, Adam, came down the boat to help with the fill up. "We heard you coming Jared," he said. "Did anyone barf after the victory roll?" 

"Naw, I must be losing my touch, one was close but no actual barfing," Jared replied. They both had big smiles on their faces. 

Liam was walking by and gave Jared the finger. They started laughing even more. 

"How's grandpa? It's our first time up this year," asked Jared. 

"He's doing well. He will never stop working. He was telling stories to all the girl scouts until they noticed you guys coming in the boat. There were words like, hot, eye candy and hunks being tossed around," Adam said. 

"That makes my day knowing we're teasing all those 12-15 year old girls," laughed Liam. 

Jared, Liam, Conner and Mark left Josh with Adam and headed up to the store. The girls were not even trying to hide their stares at the young men. As they approached the store, one of the leaders came forward. 

"You need to cover yourselves up more. You are obscene in those things," she said. 

The boys stopped and looked at her. Jared stepped forward, "Hi. My name is Masqua, a first nation's native and these are brothers from my tribe. These things you are referring too are traditional wear for the men in summer and cover more of the body than a speedo bathing suit does. You need an imagination as to what is covered by our hanging flaps as opposed to being able to identify the package clearly of the man in a speedo." 

"It's a sin to wear that type of clothing," she replied. 

"It is our culture, what is left of it after yours tried to destroy it. I don't see how it is a sin and the bible doesn't say anything about loin cloths," answered Liam. 

The lady was about to say something when Jared cut her off. "My family has been on this land in this area for generations. This store is built on an old summer camp of my family. We live here and we encourage everyone to enjoy the land Mother Earth gives us. We expect the visitors will show the earth, each other and us the respect we teach our young ones. There are passages in the Bible about that." 

The woman got upset, turned and walked away into the store. Jared smiled at the guys. The girls were in little groups staring at the guys. 

Jared went into the store and saw Tom at the cash register. "Hey Jared," he called out. 

"Hey Tom," Jared replied. He took the guys over and introduced them to Tom. The woman was nearby and made a smart comment loud enough to be heard, "I don't think he is a real Indian." 

Tom looked up and pointed to a painting of Jared in his full Shaman buckskins, including his wearing the fur cap with feathers and buffalo horns. "That's him up there," Tom said to her. "He's related to half of us in town and he is not only a native, but a Shaman spiritual leader and healer. His city job is a paramedic and he has helped more people around here than we can keep track of." The woman was surprised by the answer. 

Jared was watching and sensing her. He learned she was a member of Conner's former church and that she hadn't seen him or recognized him yet. Jared reached to touch Darren's shoulder, and sent him the information he had learned and suggested he grab Conner and get him back to the boat. Darren turned his head to Jared and nodded. 

"Your pagan rituals are sins and against the word of God." she said. 

Jared stood up straight, flexing himself so he appeared bigger than he really was. "If you are speaking about the Creator of all, our rituals are far from pagan in both the eyes of those people who matter and the eyes of God." 

The leader huffed, "Sinner." 

The lady and her friend were both standing with their arms crossed with smug looks on their faces. Jared held his hand out to Liam, "Soulmate." 

"Gay abominations," mumbled one of the ladies. Liam took Jared's hand and immediately understood what Jared wanted to do. 

"Do you know the difference between a trick and a miracle?" Jared asked the more verbal of the two women. 

She huffed, "Of course I do." 

"So If I was pull a quarter from Liam's ear, what would that be?" Jared then pulled a quarter from Liam's ear and showed her. 

"That is just a cheap trick, anyone could," she sneered. 

Jared smiled. "Thank you for saying that so perfectly." He turned to Liam and nodded his head. 

They both stood facing the two ladies as their eyes began to glow. The glow spread throughout their bodies quickly. 

"You spoke of God," started Liam. "We are messengers of the Creator." As the words came out of Liam's mouth, the glow began to dissipate and revealed both the men dressed in buckskins. Jared looked exactly as he did in the picture and Liam was similarly adorned except he was holding a tall staff with feathers and fur tails hanging off it. 

The two women stepped back. 

Jared spoke, "I know of both of you attending a church which preaches intolerance of anyone except your own congregation." He paused for a moment, and then continued. "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things." 

Liam reached forward and touched the back of the quiet woman's hand gently. "The Creator gives you a gift. Your first child will be the girl both you and your husband have been praying for." 

The woman's face changed from being smug to shock, and then tears started to roll down her face. "Is this true?" she asked. "I was told I could not have children." 

"Yes, the Creator has given the gift because of the truth, sincerity and purity within your heart. Leave the church you are attending and seek one which preaches the true message of the Creator which is unconditional love for each other." 

Jared turned to the other lady. "There is nothing we can give you as your heart is filled with the poison of the Pastor from your church. I sensed you were a good person at one time until you accepted the evil this man spouted in the name of God. Once you have accepted evil, it can be cast out only when you wish it to leave." 

"You are a heathen," she said in a flat toned voice. 

"In your eyes, I am many things," replied Jared. Both Liam and Jared transformed to just wearing their loin cloths as he spoke. "In our eyes, you are just another agent of the evil one. You aren't even smart enough to realize the evil work you are doing on his behalf." 

The woman stormed by them, "God will prevail over you two heathens and your tricks don't fool me." The second woman followed her but slowed and touched the side of both Liam's and Jared's faces with her hands gently. 

"I don't know what you two did, but I felt warmth in my pelvis after you touched me. I wasn't able to have children because of a physical problem, and if what you said is true - it will be a miracle of God." She said. 

Liam smiled and said, "It will happen quickly. There will be a beautiful girl with your eyes and your husband's gregarious disposition. She will be a perfect child of the Creator." 

The other lady stuck her head back in through the door and screeched for her friend. They both scurried outside through the door. 

"You two are a formidable force together," laughed Tom. "Jared, your control has got better every year. Liam, it is a pleasure to meet the soulmate of our Shaman. I sensed you two were together the moment you walked in. Your auras were so complementary interwoven and interdependent." 

Liam smiled and shook Tom's hand. "Tom, it is a pleasure to meet a man like you. It has been a long time since I met someone so full of positive energy and life. Jared said you just had your 95th birthday..." 

Liam never saw it coming. Tom's hand was almost invisible as it struck the back of Liam's head. Jared started laughing. "Liam, who do you think taught me that move?" 

Liam was rubbing his head. "That was the hardest hit I ever felt and I didn't even see it coming. All I heard was a movement of the air." 

Tom was laughing. "He's definitely brighter than some of your other brothers Jared; maybe not the fireman but definitely the cops." 

"HEY," complained Liam. "I'm standing right here." 

"He's definitely cute and a nice ass," continued Tom. 

"He has that for sure Tom. He's also one of the old knowledge and it has been surfacing," replied Jared. 

Tom was surprised at the last statement. "He has the knowledge of one of the twelve original tribes the Creator planted around the world? My God Jared, it has been so long since someone else has been located who was the keeper of the old ways." 

"Tom, he may be of the 12th or Celtic tribe." 

"Jared, Adam doesn't know about my roots yet. My end is coming and I need to do the ceremony soon and transfer the old knowledge of the plains to him. With your roots in the west, Liam's roots with the lost tribe and my roots, the power is beginning to gather." 

Liam was listening to the conversation with interest. "Tom, I disagree with you about your end being soon. I see you around for a long time." 

Tom laughed. "Maybe or maybe not Liam, it is in the hands of the Creator. But, I need to begin the transfer and teaching of Adam while he is young. My grandson Adam, did you see him out there?" 

"Yes, we did. He's grown since last year and must be out of high school now," replied Jared. 

"He graduated a year ago and has sort been staying with me. He's a lost soul and he needs to make some choices, and I would appreciate it if you could find some time to maybe have a chat with him sometime," asked Tom. "I cannot sense if he is the one or someone else for the knowledge. I hope its Adam." 

Tom held his hand out to Jared who took it. Jared's mind was filled with Tom telling him about Adam and his problems. It only took a couple of seconds for the images and Tom let his hand go. "Now you know Jared. I would really appreciate it," said Tom. 

"Could he come back with us? We are going to have a sweat tonight, and head back to the city tomorrow. We could drop him off on the way back," suggested Jared. 

"He could drive down in an hour when I get someone to fill in for him," said Tom 

"Sound's good. He will probably get there just after us getting back. Warn him of our dress code and if he doesn't want to come this time, I understand. We have 2 strays with us right now who he might enjoy talking with as well," said Jared. 

"I saw that Jared," Tom replied. "And when you take off, please do not clear the docks of all the girls drooling over you guys with that rooster tail." 

Jared tried the innocent look. Tom smiled and made the back handed "get out of here" motion. 

Jared came out onto the deck and looked over the boat. The guys were getting it ready for the trip except for Mark and Conner. They were standing with Adam off to the side and they seemed to be in a serious conversation. 

Jared went to the boat and got in. He briefly explained the conversation with Tom to Josh and Darren. They looked over at the 3 young men. "They seem to be having a good conversation," said Josh. 

"Let's cast off," said Jared as he started the motor. "If you are coming, better get in," he called out. The boys got in and he moved the boat away. He saw Adam running up to the store. 

Jared noticed the difference in the steering with the extra fuel weight. He gunned it and finally got the boat on top of the water. He made a leisurely pass by the dock and waved at the girls. He only got them wet with the water; he didn't knock them off the dock. 

Jared took it back up through the rapids, but chose the easy way this time. Everyone still got wet and had fun. 

"You could have used that route on the way down couldn't you have?" asked Liam 

"Yup, but not as much fun though," Jared replied. Liam kissed his cheek. 

They got back to the cabin about an hour later. He had let the guys all take turns at the wheel after the rapids but stood right next to them to watch for danger. When they had hit the lake, Darren was in control of the boat. 

"Give control to Josh when we get into sight of the Boathouse. He knows how to get the barrels out using the set up in the boathouse," Jared said. Darren nodded. 

"No hot dogging either Darren, we have too much weight," Jared added. Darren nodded again. 

They pulled into the dock so Jared and Liam could jump out. The rest went with the boat into the boathouse. It was now about 430 pm. The day had been fun for everyone. Jared and Liam went to check the fire and found everything just about ready. Tyler and Troy had heard the boat and came out onto the deck. They had put together some food for after the sweat. They were also carrying a cooler filled with ice and water bottles. 

"We may need a second one tonight Jared," suggested Liam 

"Good idea," replied Jared. "I would like you to conduct some of the ceremony tonight Liam." 

"You sure? I am new to this," he replied. 

Jared reached out to Liam and touched the side of his head, cupping Liam's ear. Jared's eyes flashed white, and the Liam's did as well. "You can't use the excuse of not knowing the ceremony anymore." 

"That's cheating," said Liam. "I understand the ceremony now. The language is different, but my ancestors were similar in what they did." Liam then put a surprised look on his face. 

"Do you realize what you just said," asked Jared. 

"Yes, with what you gave me, it unlocked some memory from deep within me," he replied. Liam concentrated for a moment, digging deep into his memories. "Jared, the commonality between the old ways and the people around the world, the beaver tail which was cut into 12 pieces and sent around mother earth to seed the people." 

Jared looked surprised at the comment. "You may be right Liam. Until Tom mentioned it earlier, it's something I hadn't thought of since I was young and grandfather would tell traditional stories while we sat in front of the fireplace during the winter. 

"Let's go and get the sacred objects together," suggested Jared. They suggested a second cooler to Troy and the happily went to get one. Before Troy and Tyler left, Jared told them there may be a young man, Tom's grandson come for a visit tonight.

From Chapter 12 

"I would like you to conduct some of the ceremony tonight Liam." 

"You sure? I am new to this," he replied. 

Jared reached out to Liam and touched the side of his head, cupping Liam's ear. Jared's eyes flashed white, and the Liam's did as well. "You can't use the excuse of not knowing the ceremony anymore." 

"That's cheating," said Liam. "I understand the ceremony now. The language is different, but my ancestors were similar in what they did." Liam then put a surprised look on his face. 

"Do you realize what you just said," asked Jared. 

"Yes, with what you gave me, it unlocked some memory from deep within me," he replied. Liam concentrated for a moment, digging deep into his memories. "Jared, the commonality between the old ways and the people around the world, the beaver tail which was cut into 12 pieces and sent around mother earth to seed the people." 

Jared looked surprised at the comment. "You may be right Liam. Until Tom mentioned it earlier, it's something I hadn't thought of since I was young and grandfather would tell traditional stories while we sat in front of the fireplace during the winter. 

"Let's go and get the sacred objects together" suggested Jared. They suggested a second cooler to Troy and he happily went to get one. Before Troy and Tyler left, Jared told them there may be a young man, Tom's grandson, come for a visit tonight.  

Chapter 13 

"The cute one with dark straight hair?" asked Tyler. Troy smacked him in the back of the head. 

"Well, he is cute. But nowhere near as cute as you Troy," Tyler replied. 

"Good recovery Tyler," said Troy as he tried to grab Tyler's nuts. The two of them ran back up to the cabin and when they were out of sight an exaggerated scream of agony was heard from Tyler. 

"We better get up there," suggested Liam. 

By the time they entered the cabin, they were filling the second cooler with ice and water bottles. Tyler slipped some ice down the back of Troy's Loin cloth which caused a scream from him. The wrestling started again. 

Jared heard a truck pull into the yard. "Would you check over the sacred objects for me? I'll go meet Adam in the yard." Said Jared. 

Jared walked out the back door as Adam was getting out of the truck. "Adam, you've grown since last summer. How are you doing?" asked Jared as he hugged him. 

"I am doing ok Jared and it was a nice surprise to see you guys today. I enjoyed talking with Conner and Mark as well," Adam said. 

"Your grandfather showed me what was going on with you. I am more than happy to talk with you and you will find everyone else will be too," said Jared. 

"I know you are said to be a Shaman, but what do you mean by showed?" asked Adam. 

Jared reached out and touched the side of Adams head. Adams eyes opened wide as he learned what Jared had meant. 

"It's true; you are a great man of medicine. Grandfather was right," said Adam. 

"I am a Medicine Man Adam. You tried to commit suicide after your boyfriend broke up with you because you were broken by his mental abuse and the control he had you under. Suicide is never the answer Adam; there are so many people and agencies out there that will help. Come with us tonight into the sweat lodge and we will begin the healing Adam," said Jared. "My soulmate Liam will be doing most of the ceremony, but I will work with you myself." 

"Thank you, Maskwa. I think you will be more successful than all the people my parent's sent me to see before they dumped me on grandpa," he said with a tear slipping down one cheek. 

Jared reached out and gently wiped the tear away from his cheek and then took him into his arms. Holding Adam tightly, Jared said, "Adam, I am always here little cousin and all you need for me to come to you is a prayer to the Creator from your heart. Never forget there are many good people and agencies who help with depression and suicide - seek them out yourself and find the one you feel comfortable with." 

Adam returned Jared's hug with enthusiasm. "I will remember what you've said to me big cousin." 

They separated. "We all wear loin cloths or less around here. Do you have a problem with that, Adam?" asked Jared. 

"Can I get a loin cloth? They are so cool and you should have heard the girls talking about you guys after you left. They were comments pretty consistent with what I was thinking about all you guys too," he laughed nervously. 

"We will do it right away," said Jared. "Come on in and meet the guys." 

The guys were all in the kitchen when Jared and Adam came in. Conner and Mark greeted him right away and made sure he knew everyone else. Jared went over to a cupboard where he kept his leather and pulled out a loin cloth and belt which had already been made for Adam. 

Adam was holding it in his hands, looking at Jared, "How did you know I would be here tonight?" 

"I was meditating earlier when I received a message from the Creator. Your grandfather had asked him for help. He was worried about you for the last few days and you seemed to be heading down the wrong path again," said Jared. "Remember what I said about a prayer with you heart? Your grandfather hadn't forgotten how to do that. He has different gifts than I do, and we complement each other's abilities." 

"Grandfather has gifts? I had no clue," replied a shocked Adam. 

"You will learn more about them in the future, but now we are here tonight for you and the path you have chosen once again Adam." 

Adam looked at him, and then the rest of the group. "I was getting close again. I had collected enough prescriptions and over the counter medications to do it right this time and finish the job." His eyes were watering now. 

Tyler stepped forward and wrapped his big arms around Adam. "Jared knew I was going to commit suicide on Christmas eve and like you, stepped in to stop it. He helped heal me," said Tyler. 

Adam was looking in the eyes of the big police officer. Conner said, "Let's get you into your loin cloth Adam, and then we can do the sweat." 

Liam was ready with the sacred bundle and the guys were ready with the cooler of water as the three young men came back into the kitchen. Adam was very cute in his loin cloth. Jared knew he was nineteen and he had naturally black hair with olive skin which both was an indicator of his First Nation heritage. There were sparse hairs on his lip giving a shadow of a moustache was another indicator of his heritage. He had beautiful chocolate brown eyes and black eyebrows, distinct cheek bones and a solid nose. He stood 5'8" and was about 145 pounds. There was some hair under his arms, but none on his chest. There were very few indicating a slight treasure trail. His legs had fine black hairs on the calves but nothing above that point. He was definitely cute, but he projected so much pain through his eyes. 

"You haven't done this for a while Adam," said Jared. 

"Not since grandfather's dad did it," he replied. "I was very young." 

"Are we ready?" asked Liam. Everyone nodded and they headed down to the sweat lodge. 

Liam gathered the group at the sacred fire. He explained the ceremony to everyone, but really for the benefit of Conner, Mark and Adam. He explained the four directions and the sacred four Kingdoms of mineral, plant, animal and mankind. Jared would be getting the rocks tonight and then he led into the explanation of the rock spirits and the process. Everyone was impressed with Liam's explanation. Liam looked at Jared for approval and found a face full of love and pride for Liam. 

At this time, Liam reminded everyone about jewellery and manmade objects to be removed before going into the lodge. A couple of watches came off and a necklace which were all placed onto the table. The men started to remove their loin cloths as well. Adam followed along. Adam was uncut and about 4 inches soft. The pubic hair was similar to Jared's as it was very straight and sparse. When he had turned around to toss his cloth over a log, he showed a nice little butt. He was definitely more tanned on his upper body. 

Liam smudged each of them before they bowed and entered the lodge after assigning them seating. 

Liam had the pipe with him with him as he entered and took a seat. He placed the pipe on his leg and opened one of the birch bark bundles. It contained tobacco which he packed into the pipe. Liam lit the pipe and puffed on it. He then chanted out loud for a moment as he held the pipe in front of him and upwards. He handed the pipe to Jared. 

Jared took the pipe and held it up and brought it to his lips and puffed on it. He held it up again and said clearly, "Creator, we your children are before you tonight with new brothers who are in pain. One has suffered physical pain and all three have suffered the worst pain of all, the unseen pain of mental abuse. They came freely as you foresaw to me for help. We as a family are here to do whatever we can to support them and help in their healing. I am your beacon of light Creator," finished Jared as he handed the pipe to Darren. 

Darren took a couple of puffs and then said, "Creator, I am here as your servant, forever grateful for the light you put into my life." He handed it to Josh. 

The continued through Josh, Tyler and Troy. Troy gave it to Conner who was absolutely shaking. Troy helped him light it and take a couple of puffs. He choked on the smoke but no one said anything when he did it. "Creator, I am here because of you sending two of your servants to find and help me. I have been hated for so long I didn't know if anyone could love me ever again. This group of men have shown me how to begin loving people again, without fear." He handed it to Mark. 

Mark took a couple of puffs and then said, "Creator, I was also brought here by Liam and Jared, my new friends. I am not sure what to say but I need help to get my life back on track." He handed it to Adam. 

Adam took it and relit the pipe. "Creator, I am loved by people but I do not love myself. The lack of love for myself has caused my grandfather much pain. I have introduced drugs into my body to try and hide my anger and to make things better without changing. I have hidden behind anything I could to avoid the truth. I even allowed a man to dominate me mentally and physically with so much control I became numb to my feelings and for a while it felt better to be numb. I wish to find what I once had as a child which was health, happiness, love for the people and love for myself." He handed the pipe to Liam, who smoked the last of the tobacco and then placed the pipe in front of him on a special holder. 

Liam looked at each man individually and nodded his head towards Jared. Jared made five trips and placed each rock within the ring inside the lodge. 

The inside of the lodge glowed from the red hot stones. Liam reached and pulled the ladle out of the bucket full, pouring it on the rock representing the west, repeating the procedure for the rocks representing the north, east and south. He poured two more full ladles on the rock in the center representing the grandfather. The lodge filled with steam rapidly and completely. 

Liam spoke aloud, but could barely see the others in the lodge. "I will chant prayers. The first round of the four we will complete is for the west. Each direction will be a different focus on spirituality." 

Liam began to chant and pray. The men in the tent felt the heat of the steam and the heat from the rocks and were sweating profusely. It felt good to them as the sweat poured down their bodies and into the ground. Jared was thinking to himself Liam's memories were coming to the surface more and more. He is a Shaman. 

Liam poured more water on the rocks and the steam returned, filling the lodge like it had the first time. He then continued to chant and pray. Suddenly, the lodge shook violently. It wasn't like last time they had a sweat, it was like something was trying to tear its way into the lodge. 

Liam began to chant again except louder. He asked everyone to hold hands in the circle. Once they had done this, they all chanted with Liam. Even the three young people chanted as if they had known the words before by heart. 

Jared broke the grip on his hands and grabbed the talking stick. He shook it. Jared spoke, "The evil one has tried to come into the lodge. He says he has claim on two of the young men in this lodge and wants them. Liam my soulmate, if I may help you at this time, it would be an honour to me." 

Liam looked at him and replied, "Maskwa, Sacred Medicine Man of the people, please let us work together in the name of the Creator." 

Jared put the talking stick back on its holder and indicated to Liam to put more water on the stones. As the steam built up, the shaking of the lodge intensified. "Everyone hold hands again and do not let go, no matter what is said by anyone but me," stated Jared. They did so. 

The lodge was filled with steam, but the outline of each person was still there from the glow on the rocks. 

Jared looked up and chanted loudly, almost yelling the words of prayer. When lowered his head, his eyes were a solid glowing white light. Everyone in the lodge could see them cutting through the steam. The chants of Jared were growing faster and louder. Liam's eyes had also turned a bright white and they also cut through the steam. The lodge shifted as if someone had smacked it with a large baseball bat. Jared repeated the chant louder. Conner and Adam began to try and get their hands free from the men holding them. Mark was fighting with all his strength to keep holding onto them. 

They were beginning to cry out as well with something which sounded like unearthly screams of agony. Jared and the rest of the men in the lodge were yelling the chants as loud as they could. Adam and Conner's bodies were writhing but Mark wouldn't let go of either one of them. Suddenly Jared's eyes flashed even brighter and his entire body started to glow. The glow spread to each of the men on Jared's right side and Liam on his left. The glow was slowly traveling up Conner's left arm and Adam's right arm. They were screaming as loud as they humanly could as the glow penetrated their bodies. Jared lifted his chin up and chanted something they had never heard before. A glowing pulse came off his body in a circular shape and grew until it touched the walls of the lodge. He chanted again as the lodge began to glow a bright yellow, building in intensity until it was almost blinding. By now Adam and Conner were no longer screaming and had settled down. The glow spread rapidly through them and into Mark. Now the entire circle of men was glowing. They heard in their heads a message from Jared, "Share your love with one another like we did before." 

Everyone's head felt like a radio channel with too many people talking at the same time. There were visions of people loving, parents, beautiful places, friends, pets which were all forms of love they were sharing with each other. "Continue chanting brothers," yelled Jared in their heads. 

Suddenly, Jared's Grandfather was in the lodge wearing the clothes of the Most Sacred Medicine Man of the People. His fur headdress was similar to Jared's having the horns of a buffalo on the sides. The big difference was the amount of eagle feathers Jared's grandfather had were in the hundreds. 

Grandfather's voice was heard in everyone's head. "Maskwa, I am here to help you all. Liam, call for your ancestors to come forward as well. Dig deep and call for your Seanair." (Scottish Gaelic for Grandfather). 

As Liam concentrated, an old man dressed in furs, leather and a very full, thick beard was standing in front of them with a walking stick. He bowed to Grandfather who returned the gesture with a bow of his own. The two old men held hands and touched their foreheads together. After separating, the old druid raised his walking stick and thumped it into the ground. The vibration could be felt like an earthquake by the men sitting in the circle. 

Liam's grandfather raised his arms above his head and then looked to the sky. He yelled a Gaelic expression louder than anyone thought was possible. When he lowered his head, his eyes were emerald green in colour. With one hand holding his staff, he raised his free hand, palm out, to the two young men. 

Jared looked at his Grandfather and was surprised. He had moved next to the Celtic Shaman and had placed his hand onto the staff over Liam's grandfathers. For the first time ever, Jared witnessed his grandfather's eyes to be glowing emerald green. He also was standing with his free hand, palm out towards the two young men. 

From each of their palms shot a green ball of energy which hit Conner and Adam. Both young men screamed as two very dark screaming shadows flew out of them. The shadows were immediately sucked into the ground by their feet with their long finger trying to grasp anything to stay. 

Liam's grandfather raised his stick and thumped the ground again. Another dark shadow from each of the boys and this time Mark as well drawn out. A strong one was fighting to keep control of Adam. 

Both Liam's and Jared's grandfather let loose a hooping war cry of battle. The scream of the battle cry sent shivers down the spine of everyone seated in the circle. Each grandfather reached gently to touch their respective grandson. The four of them yelled the war cry together as Liam's grandfather raised the stick one more time and rammed it into the ground hard. There was an intense flash of yellow, followed by red, white and the lodge went into blackness. Everything was quiet now. 

Jared was drowsy as he suspected everyone else was as well. "When you are able, we need to go to the lake to cleanse ourselves," said Jared as he threw the door flaps open. They all crawled out and went to the lake and waded into it. "Put your heads under water to cleanse your entire body." 

Everyone was beginning to come to full consciousness now. Liam said, "We can get out now and stand by the fire." 

They had been standing around the fire for a few moments when they noticed they were not alone. Near the dock, were six wolves, a coyote, a bear, and an eagle sitting on the bears shoulder. 

Jared got everyone's attention quietly and pointed at the animals. The Bear was sitting in the middle, the eagle on his shoulder and three wolves on each side of him. The coyote was sitting in front of the bear. Jared raised his hand in greeting and then everyone else did as well. The animals all howled, screeched and growled at the same time in reply. 




Paramedic Pt. 13



The eagle flew up and over the group, dropping two large eagle feathers which landed at Liam's and Jared's feet. He made a second pass, dropping four more medium sized eagle feathers in front of Troy, Darren, Josh and Tyler. 

The animals all turned and disappeared into the forest as the eagle flew straight up into the sky. Jared picked up one feather as Liam picked up the other feather. 

There was silence as all the young men were waiting for something else to happen. Finally, Jared spoke, "Gentlemen, we as a team took on an evil one and defeated him. For the first time in centuries, he has been beaten and he lost his claim on these three young men. We have received the eagle feathers in honour of the battle." 

Darren spoke up, "I thought this shit only happened in movies." The sentiment was expressed by the rest of the men. 

"The creator chose us to lead an attack on the evil one. He knew us and knew what we could do as a group. Our totems also came to give us strength in this battle. You all saw my Grandfather and Liam's ancestor as well to add their power to free these young men from the evil one was worth the battle," explained Jared. 

Josh had got his watch and commented, "We were in there 3 hours." 

Jared collapsed to the ground. The men carried him up to the cabin and laid him on the floor in the living room. Liam ran and grabbed the medic kit he knew Jared had in the closet. He started 2 IV's flowing and squeezed in some glucose. 

"I got this. You guys get drinking water and some food. Move it NOW," barked Liam. 

He had put about half of both bags of the glucose into Jared when his eyes fluttered finally opening fully. "Have I ever told you to open my eyes and gaze upon your face first is the biggest gift I have ever been given," said Jared. 

Liam leaned in to kiss him deeply. Troy took over while Darren picked up Jared and carried him into the kitchen for water and food. "You big lummox," cried Jared. 

"Shut up and eat," said Darren. 

An hour later, everyone was feeling stronger from the food and water. They were chatting and trying to process what happened earlier. 

Later, they were all sitting on the deck. The couples were sitting with each other and the three boys were together, holding hands. 

Liam spoke, "Guys, I think we did good tonight. We have three new brothers." 

The guys all raised their water bottle in salute. 

"You three have not said a thing," said Liam. 

"I feel good and am happy to have gone through it. I am sure I will have more to say after a sleep," said Conner. Mark and Adam agreed. 

"I think sleep is a good idea guys. How about mattresses on the floor in the living room and we all sleep together," suggested Josh. 

"A sleep over," yelled Darren as he jumped up and started clapping. Josh smacked him on the ass. 

"Adam, are you staying?" asked Liam. 

"Absolutely. Not to mention you guys are so fucking hot I am having a problem not getting hard," Adam said with a cute smile. 

They laughed and moved into the house and got the bed in the living room ready. Once everyone was lying done on the mattresses and lights were out they started to settle down. Until Darren called out, "Good night, John Boy." A smack of a hand hitting someone's ass was heard. 

The sun started to rise at 5:00 am, but no one started to wake up until 7:30. As Jared got up to start coffee he noticed just about everyone had kicked off the sheets from themselves as the heat began to build in the sunlight. Including himself, there were 9 very impressive hard-ons poking up into the air. Even Adam was impressive at 7 inches long and as thick as a Red Bull can. 

They woke up and headed to the various washrooms to relieve their morning needs. The men all congregated around the table and counter in the kitchen, sipping coffee or water. 

Liam spoke, "Well, that was quite a night." 

"That is an understatement," said Josh. 

"I was brought up in what I thought was a strict religious home. I heard what you guys had said about the spiritualism but I wasn't sure. I mean, I heard it and when I participated in smudging I felt better, but I thought so much of it was like the stories the Pastor told in his sermons. He had people coming up the aisles and they fell over when he touched them yelling 'Be gone Satan' but after what I saw last night, it's not that easy." 

Liam spoke, "Some of them use a variety of techniques such as planted people in the crowd to make it look good. Some people are also so devoted they react to what they saw previously and believe it will happen to them, so it does." 

"There may also be some clergy who can actually do it as well," interjected Jared. 

"So what we saw last night was the classic fight between good and evil," asked Josh. 

"Yes," replied Liam. 

"I know how different I feel this morning," Adam added. "I feel like I have a new life ahead of me." 

"Me too," said Conner. "I realize now what an evil hold my father had over me. He must have made a pact with the evil one at some point and not really understood what he was doing." 

"He was probably offered what he wanted in life. Money and power over people not realizing what he was going to have to give in return. He just didn't know the cost of accepting it," commented Liam. 

"I do remember him as a loving man when I was younger. When I think about it, it was after the new pastor came to town when he started to change," said Conner pensively. "I was about 8 years old or so when he came. Now that I am thinking about it, we had a normal family until them." 

"That is what you have to remember," said Darren. "The family before the changes is the memories you must keep alive and let the time after fade into the blackness." 

"I didn't think my anger about my mom dying was so strong," said Mark. "I was pushing everyone away from me, including my dad. He may have been doing the same thing. For many years, we just existed in the same house. We weren't fighting or anything, but we weren't loving each other like family." 

"Its official. After last night, we have three new brothers in our family," said Tyler. 

"Group hug!" yelled Troy. The men all gathered together in a tight hug. When they broke apart, there were some comments about breakfast. The three young men were volunteered to make breakfast for the group, which they happily did. After clean up, the men went water skiing. 

Adam sat on the dock with Jared and Liam, their feet in the water watching Conner, Mark, Tyler and Troy out in the boat. Darren and Josh were laying on the dock to get a better sun tan. 

"Thank you for helping me," said Adam. 

"You're welcome, Adam," replied Jared. 

"Adam, what are your plans for your life. I mean, you had some at one time before you lost your way," asked Liam. 

"I wanted to be a police officer," he said. 

"Why can't that still happen?" asked Liam. 

"I guess it can. I just have to prove to others I have changed so I will get a chance," he said. "I wanted to get a degree in computer science and use that in the police force." 

"Sounds like a plan Adam. Can you go back to school?" asked Jared. 

"Yes, I did well at University. I just took a year off," he replied. "My grandfather and my parents will be happy to hear I want to go back to school." 

They continued to chat about life. Adam had been with an older man and entered into a relationship quickly. The man had controlled Adam more like a slave as opposed to a lover. He didn't allow Adam to choose anything, even his clothing and constantly abused him mentally. One day Adam came home from school and found another young man in their home which turned out to be his replacement. His boyfriend had packed all of his possessions into boxes and they were piled by the door. Adam took his boxes to his old truck and left for home. He had tried suicide after finishing the school year. His parents took him to his grandfather in the hope the simple life in a small community would help Adam get his life together and stay away from drugs. 

About noon, hunger drove the group back to the shore and up to the cabin where they ate and prepared to leave for the city. The cabin was cleaned up and Adam was going to drop the garbage off for the guys at the nuisance grounds. They all hugged before Adam left with the promise of seeing him during his next set of days off. 

The drive back to the city was uneventful with Liam driving the SUV and everyone else sleeping. They headed to the hospital to visit with Frank and catch up on things. He couldn't believe the difference in Mark's disposition. He thought things were good when they started communicating a while ago, but things seemed even better now. 

Frank would be getting out the next day and at home for the next couple of weeks until going back for desk duty. The file on Conner's dad was concluded as the suspect was dead and even if they didn't know what was going on in his head at the time, they most likely never would. 

Mark was going to stay with them one more night but they would swing by Frank's place to pick up the car so he could drive his father home in the morning. Conner stayed with Mark which was no surprise to either of the men. 

With Liam driving again, Jared got on his cell phone to call around to various people. Now that it was just him and Liam in the vehicle, he could make calls without "little ears" overhearing him. Jared had spoken with the funeral home and the Pastor had quit interfering with the plans. Conner's father was already interred as Jared had requested. The United Church priest had said some words as the urn was placed in the ground as he thought no one should be interred without prayers. The funeral for his mother and brother was set for the next day at the United Church commencing at 1300 hrs. 

Jared called the lawyer next and Jack reported the police were actively investigating the attempted fraud of the will and there had been at least two other similar complaints made about the Pastor. The weapons crates in the home having the church address for delivery really had them concerned. The crates were marked "Relief Supplies" and there was no way to find out if there were more weapons anywhere else. 

The security observation team had been turning videos over to the police of a variety of people showing up at the church after 8:00 pm every night. Each one went into the church alone, and came out a few minutes later. It appeared they were scheduled as a vehicle arrived every 10 minutes, and left 5 minutes later. The police ran the license plates and found some of them were known to them as drug dealers. 

The police were very interested in the church and especially the activities of the Pastor now. They had formed a task force with the Drugs Section, Fraud Section and the Federal Agencies as well. 

Mark and Conner were following Liam in Frank's car as they headed to an Italian restaurant for a quick supper. Liam thought it was easier than making a supper at the apartment and Jared agreed with him by giving a thumbs up signal while speaking on the phone. 

Jared was speaking on the phone with a real estate agent and she was describing some of the homes he might like. They made an appointment for the next night to view a couple of them. She was going to email some papers for Jared to complete as part of the pre-approved spending authorization from the bank. Jared sensed she was really just trying to see if he was worth the time. 

"Louise, I will talk to my boyfriend and confirm with him if he is available to view the homes tomorrow night," Jared said to her. 

"Boyfriend? I thought you were interested in a house for a family," Louise replied. 

"I am. I need a house large enough for the family," Jared replied with an edge to his voice. 

"Our listed homes are all traditional family oriented units in good respectable developments. I am sorry, we don't have anything available for your kind," she said. 

"Are you sure?" asked Jared. Liam could see he must be very tired as Jared was getting uncharacteristically upset. 

"Positive," she replied without further elaboration. 

"I guess I will deal with another agency," said Jared as he hung up. Jared was visibly upset as he tried to dial the phone. Liam reached out and took his hand. 

"Jared, what's wrong. You are not acting like yourself right now," asked Liam with concern. 

"I just want to buy a fucking house," said Jared very shortly. 

Liam squeezed his hand harder. Jared looked out the window at the scenery passing by them. Liam could feel the heat of Jared's hand as well as the sweat on it. Jared's pulse was pounding as Liam moved his baby finger up to touch the radial artery. Normally, you don't feel a pulse this way but Jared's bounding pulse was easy to detect, even with Liam's baby finger. 

"Jared, what is wrong?" Liam asked again with concern. 

Jared turned his head and looked at Liam. "I'm sorry for the way I'm acting." 

"I love you Jared," said Liam. 

"I love you too, Liam," he replied. 

There was an uncomfortable silence in the vehicle for a minute. 

"That lady not wanting to sell a house to our kind must have affected me more than I realized. I am growing tired of the amount of people who feel it is their right to impose what they feel is normal on the gay community. They exclude anyone that doesn't fit into their concepts of morality or God's will," said Jared. 

"Jared, I agree with you. Did that lady piss you off that much?" 

"She was the icing on the cake, Liam. I am so tired of people and their attitudes towards us," replied Jared. 

"Well then Jared. Do what you usually do instead of just talking about it. You are the man of action who actively defends others. Defend yourself for once," Liam said. 

Jared sat and thought for a moment. He squeezed Liam's hand and said, "You're right. If someone had said this to you, I would have taken action. I know what I am going to do." 

Jared got his phone out and called Jesse McCoy. He told his lawyer what had happened with the sales agent. Jared listened for a couple of minutes and told Jesse he would get it done right away. 

Liam was parking at the restaurant and said, "That sounds better. Let's go eat, I am starved." 

They boys caught up to them as they entered the restaurant. After getting seated, Jared pulled out his phone and started to type away, oblivious to the looks he was getting from the other three. Liam explained what had happened with the real estate agent while they were driving. A moment later, Jared smiled and hit one final button. He put the phone into his pocket. 

"May I ask what you are up too Jared?" said Liam. 

"I just sent an email to the sales agent summarizing our conversation on the phone and asked her if I had misunderstood what she had said. I also said in the message her Realty Company came highly recommended by the GLBT Center as gay friendly and that was why I had contacted her," explained Jared. He smirked. "Ok, I added the last in the hope she would reply in anger and confirm what she had said. It was Jesse's idea to so this." 

Liam reached across the table and took Jared's hand into his. "That's the Jared I know and love." 

"I love you too Liam," Jared replied. 

They ordered two extra-large pizzas, soda for the boys and tea for themselves. The pizzas had just arrived when his phone indicated an email had arrived. Jared pulled his phone out and read it. He did some more typing and hit send. 

"Not only did she confirm what she said, but she was upset he name was being given out by the faggots at that Centre. She demanded to know who told me so she could sue them. I forwarded the message onto Jesse with directions to sue her and her company," said Jared. 

He dug into the pizza with gusto. The boys seemed to be inhaling not even chewing their pizza at the rate it was disappearing and only Liam was eating like a gentleman. 

They got back to the apartment and took turns in the shower while the other sorted out what they would wear for the funeral. Conner didn't have a suit with him and didn't think they were necessary for tomorrow anyways. 

Liam was talking with Jared about the boys hopes for school and the plans they would like to follow. Jared listened with interest and asked a few questions of his own. Liam had mentioned Mark would need a company to sponsor him during his practicums at University and he had promised to speak to someone he knew about the possibility. Jared smiled at Liam. 

They headed off to bed. Jared and Liam made fast passionate love, and feel asleep in each other's arms. Conner and Mark exchanged blow jobs, and they too feel asleep spooned together. 

Jared and Liam had made arrangements to work for the morning and take the afternoon off for the funeral. Conner was with Mark and Frank at their home as Jared didn't want him alone for the morning. After they left work, they swung by and picked up the boys. Frank apologised for not being able to come but he was still weak. 

The pulled up to the church and parked. They entered the church and it was half filled with people. Jared recognised many of the people in the seats as people he had come across and helped at some point. He smiled an appreciate smile at them. The minster made his way to them. 

"Reverend, this is Conner," said Jared. 

The man embraced Conner in his arms and hugged him. "Conner, I know you have had a rough time being associated with another congregation but you are always welcome here as a child of God," he said. 

"I appreciate that, Reverend," said Conner. "I will be staying with Liam and Jared and I understand they come here for services. I would like to come with them." 

"Conner, as I said, you are welcome. All people were created in the image of God and are his children in spite of what some other groups feed their congregations," the reverend said. "I have put together a simple service for your mom and brother. Jared has explained your family situation. I am sure Jared and Liam are helping you." 

"Thank you, Reverend. They have been of tremendous help to me in learning it wasn't my fault. It was my father who did this to us and I could have done nothing to change it. I will miss my brother, but he will no longer suffer physical abuse and torment at my father's hand. The worse part was my father was beating us continually to rid us of Satan and teach us what he believed was the teachings of Christ and the bible." 

"Conner, as you are now probably aware, neither the bible nor Christ condones what was done to your family. I hope the readings today will help you to understand that," replied the Reverend. "Please be seated up front here. We will start; the evil which affected you is gone. Let us celebrate the love you had for your mother and your brother." 

The Reverend delivered a beautiful service which celebrated the survival of love under tragic circumstances. He spoke positively of the family's early years and the love of Conner, his brother and his mother had for each other even under the conditions they lived during the later years, not only the difficulties they had showing it openly in the household, but how they kept it alive inside their hearts. 

The Reverend finished the service with a reading from Psalm 91. 

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 

If you say "The LORD is my refuge" and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 




Paramedic Pt. 13



You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 

"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." 

Conner and Mark slowly turned their heads to look at each other. "Mark, this reading means more to me now than it ever has. I think the angels God sent are with us both sitting in the church here with us." 

"Conner, I have never felt this safe around people before either." 

Liam used his elbow to nudge Conner in the ribs to be quiet. 

There were lots of people in the church who introduced themselves to Conner. It was overwhelming for him so many people could care for him and support him. 

The graveside service was very simple, with Conner placing the urns into the grave. Conner had remained strong through the service but the reality of what he was doing set in. Conner finished placing the ashes and stood up. Jared, Liam and Mark all moved in at the same as Conner broke down. They held him until he stopped crying. 

Jared and Liam sat on the couch in the apartment later that night. They were waiting for Conner to get back from his date with Mark. After the service, the two boys talked to Jared and Liam about how well they got along and really wanted to try dating. They wanted to ask permission from the two of them because of the respect they had for them. Jared and Liam had smiled at the boys and gave them their blessing with the warning to take it slow. 

The next day, Jared and Liam were having coffee at a local shop when their radios warbled and they were advised of a shooting in the rural area at a church retreat site. Liam knew the general area and remembered it was near the large Provincial Park about 25 minutes out of town. Liam was surprised when two of the city police cars blew by them, obviously heading the same way as they were. They both knew the city police would back up the Regional Police when they needed it. They both watched as the City Police Emergency Response Team Vans went by them, also in a hurry. Both Jared and Liam wished the big ambulances travelled faster and handled better at higher speeds. The maximum they could travel in the big unit was 125-130 km per hour, if the roads were good. They were built for the patient's treatment and not high speed. 

Rob called Jared on his cell phone and told him he would be heading out with two more units. They weren't getting much information from the police yet but it had turned into a stand-off. Rob and the extra units would be 15 minutes behind Jared and Liam. 

They pulled up to the staging area the police had thrown together just down the road from the camp. Jared and Liam parked off to one side where they could watch the activities. Tyler ram up to them carrying a carbine across his chest. 

"Jared, I still haven't heard what started all this but the pastor is up there with an unknown amount of men, unknown weapons and the kids who were in bible camp. They're all in the chapel or main part of the big building, we think," explained Tyler. 

Liam jumped in, "So no one is hurt?" 

Tyler shook his head no. "They've asked for more ambulances in case things go bad, especially with kids in there." 

They could hear the additional ambulances arriving and turned to watch them drive up. Rob was in the first one. Tyler stopped them, motioning Rob to stay with them and the other two units to head down the road to field on the right. The paramedics looked a little disappointed they weren't going to stay there until Tyler explained that was the Headquarters area they were being sent to. 

"So what the hell is going over there Tyler?" asked Rob. 

"We're just not sure yet, Rob," he started. Tyler's explanation was cut short as a bullet hit the revolving emergency lights on the ambulance, shattering part of them. A second bullet took out the driver's side window. 

Tyler yelled, "Sniper!" and then said the same into his radio. He had just turned to tell everyone to hit the dirt when he saw Rob was absolutely pale and staring at a bullet which wads motionless and hanging in the air about 8 inches from his face. 

Rob was stammering, "What the fuck is going on here?" staring at the bullet. 

Jared was standing with both hands held up in a stop gesture. There was additional bullets heard ricocheting into the trees beside them after hitting something solid. Rob was looking at the bullet in front of him when Liam gently reached up and grabbed it out of the air in his hand. Rob slowly turned his head to look at Liam and Jared and saw both men's eyes were the purest white light he had ever seen. 

Liam's eyes returned to normal while Jared's remained white. 

"Rob, we had hoped to introduce you to our inner strengths during a sweat lodge ceremony and not like this," explained Liam. 

"What the fuck are you two?" demanded Rob. 

Tyler spoke up, "You are in the presence of Liam or Soaring Eagle. He is a very powerful apprentice and soulmate to Jared. Jared is known as Masqua, Sacred Medicine Man of the People. They have many abilities between the two of them, one of which just prevented the bullet from hitting you between your eyes." 

Liam handed Rob the bullet. "Keep this as a good luck charm Rob." Rob took it from him slowly. When Liam touched Rob's hand, he reached deep into Rob's mind and showed him their activities in the sweat lodge. When he let go of his hand, Rob had regained his colour and looked much happier. 

"Thank you Liam," said Rob. "Thank you for showing me what you guys are and for saving my life." 

Jared spoke up, "It was not your time yet Rob. You have a long path ahead of you and it was not the place of the dark one to alter your path." 

"Josh is in the bush somewhere. He was one of the first ones in there to hold the perimeter until backup arrived," said Tyler. 

Liam looked up onto the sky and then back down to Tyler. "He's safe Tyler, and trust your instinct. We're all connected and when someone is in trouble, everyone else knows." 

Rob was quiet, but he was listening and watching everything going on. The sound of a bullet bouncing off the ambulance surprised everyone. 

"I've had enough of him," stated Liam calmly. Liam looked the direction of the shooter and his eyes glowed brightly. "There are two of them, and both of their rifles just jammed. Now they can't stop head butting the tree in front of them." About a minute later, Liam spoke again, "Both of them are unconscious now, and will awaken with splitting headaches." 

Jared was smiling, "Hitting their heads on the tree? That took imagination Liam." 

"The tree was handy, and short of something more drastic or permanent..." replied Liam. 

"You have that type of control?" asked Rob. 

"Sometimes it works like that, and other times we can't interfere," replied Jared. 

"Liam, why don't we go out there and bring those two bozo's in?" asked Tyler. 

Liam smiled, "Sounds like a plan, brother Tyler." 

"Shall we go, Brother Liam," asked Tyler as the two of them headed into the trees. 

"You guys are so casual about this," sated Rob. 

Jared smiled, "We've been together so long as a family, and we don't even think about it Rob. It's all so normal to us now, and to be honest Rob; we have never been so open with our gifts to someone like this." 

"I have so many questions Jared," replied Rob. 

"Questions are good Rob, but hold them until we can get together after this stand-off is done," answered Jared. 

They both turned to look at Liam and Tyler carrying two young men over their shoulders. Both were having no problems with the load, or carrying the weapons they had been using. They continued walking down the road to the headquarters, with Jared and Rob following behind them. As they entered the Headquarters area, a few people came forward to ask what had happened and take the men off their shoulders. They explained how they had been sniped at they had seen the men running into a tree after they had finished their shots. The Regional Police Inspector looked deep into Jared's eyes as he was reciting the story, and finally nodded his head in acceptance. The Inspector invited them to the briefing which would start in a few minutes. 

The briefing covered the location of the kids and the locations of the various men in the building. They did appear to be well armed and the building reinforced from most weapons the police would be using. The start of the event had been totally unexpected. A patrol member of the regional police had stopped in at the camp to speak with one of the cook's and advise her of a death in the family. As he drove into the yard, an alarm sounded and men started to run around in the compound with guns. The patrol officer got out of the compound quickly, but not before his rear window was shot out. 

Their intention is to maintain containment, and talk with the church crew to solve it peacefully. Their contact has not gone well with the pastor, but they would continue speaking. What the police are afraid of is another Waco or Jim Jones event happening. 

Jared, Liam and Rod found Tyler and Josh in the area where the free coffee and donuts were being served. 

Rob had a big smile on his face, "This is a real stereotype guys, Cops eating donuts!" 

About 6 officers in the area gave him the finger, but had donut filled smiles on their faces. 

"Suicidal Rob? I mean, insulting cops when you're surrounded by them," laughed Jared. 

Tyler was enjoying this. "We just consider the source of the comment being from an ambulance driver." 

Liam and Jared gave Tyler the finger. 

"We need to end this before it goes too far," stated Jared. 

Liam was nodding his head in agreement. "It has to end before people get hurt." 

"How can you do that," asked Rob. 

"It's easy Rob. Would you and Liam pick up the pieces of the lights which were shot off and bring the ambulance into the big staging area? I need to have a chat with the Inspector. I believe he is a sensitive and has an awareness of us Liam. I want to try and suggest to him we could help," explained Jared. 

Tyler and Josh had been assigned to look after the ambulance crews as they were now just considered to be extra. The Inspector was a sensitive, and Jared spoke with him for a few minutes. He didn't give him a lot of information, but the Inspector would contact Jared if he needed something. 

It was about 10 minutes later Jared realized he hadn't seen Liam or Rob return with the ambulance. He grabbed Josh and Tyler and they went looking for them. When they got to the ambulance, the back doors were open and the jump kits were missing. They looked around and saw tracks coming out of the weeds along the road and onto the road. They also located four sets of tracks heading back into the ditch. The weeds and undergrowth indicated they had travelled across the ditch and into the forest. 

"They've been taken," Tyler said excited. 

Josh was upset, "Those fuckers. We got to get them back before they get hurt." 

"You got that right Josh, let's head in and follow them," said Tyler. 

Jared just smiled as he stared in the direction the men had been taken. "That's not necessary guys. They're both safe, and walking to the compound." 

"Let's go get them before they are hurt," said Tyler quickly. 

Jared stood with his hands in front and fingers spread. His hands were glowing white. "Enough!" said Jared with enough force to shake the ground. "They've taken my soulmate, and we will now deal with the evil this man has been spreading, but it will be done the right way." 

Jared put his hands by his side, and the glowing dissipated. He turned his head down the road, and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, he looked at Tyler and Josh. 

"What are we going to do? I mean as our tribe of brothers," said Josh. 

"I have a plan," stated Jared. "But, I only want to repeat it once." 

"What do you mean once?" Tyler asked. As he was asking, the Regional Police Inspector came running around the corner of the ambulance. 

"I have never been summoned somewhere like that before," the Inspector said a little miffed when he saw Jared with the two city police officers. "What is this all about?" 

"We don't have a lot of time Sir, so I will cut to the chase," said Jared calmly. "Rob and Liam have been taken by gunpoint to the camp. I am believing it to be a couple of the crazy pastor's men who grabbed them." 

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? How long ago? You are not helping the situation by not telling us and obstructing..." He was cut off in rant when Jared had enough of listening to him. 

Jared moved his hands, palms out from his body towards the Inspector. His eyes started to glow white, and it rapidly spread to his entire body. 

The Inspector stepped back. "You're more than a sensitive young man." 

"I am a lot more than just a sensitive Inspector. You may never have the opportunity to meet another full Shaman. I am Jared, the Sacred Medicine Man of the People. Liam, one of the men taken is also a Shaman and Medicine Man." Jared used his hands to indicate towards Josh and Tyler. "These two men with me are our protectors and both have the spirit of timber wolves. The other man who was taken is the ambulance service manager, and not of the spirit," said Jared very clearly. 

"We need to get going and rescue your people," said the Inspector. 

"There is no need for your intervention now Inspector. He has taken my soulmate prisoner, and the Creator is sending me to deal with the evil in that camp. There is no one in any danger now, except the evil ones," explained Jared. "They will be dealt with by Liam and I, and if they survive the encounter, they will never forget meeting us. I need your men ready to move in after we're done with them. We don't take care of prisoners." 

"Move in when?" 

"We will send the children out through the front doors, and then shortly thereafter the adults. It will be peaceful," said Jared. 

"I don't get this, but I will do it Jared," said the Inspector. 

As he was speaking, two of the biggest timber wolves he had ever seen walked out of the forest and sat next to Jared, looking up at him. The Inspector stepped backwards in shock. 

Jared ceased to glow, and he looked down and rubbed both of them on their heads. "Did you two get lost?" 

The one wolf whined and looked at the other. Jared laughed at this. "Troy, you know better than to follow Darren's directions. He has no sense of direction as man let alone a spirit." Both of the wolves whined. "You two settle it later," said Jared laughing. He then looked up at the Inspector. "These are my other two protectors, Darren and Troy. Inspector, Josh and Tyler will be entering a meditative state in the back of the ambulance and will need protection while they are in meditation, and no one to bother them. Can you do that?" 

"Yes, I can," said the Inspector. Tyler and Josh entered the back of the ambulance, closing the doors behind them. Jared walked around the entire unit and locked all the doors. Two more huge wolves came out of the ditch and trotted to the first two. They greeted each other, and then sat two on each side of Jared. 

"We're ready to go in Inspector," said Jared. 

"Good luck Jared and friends," said the Inspector. 

"Luck has nothing to do with it Inspector. I am a messenger who is being sent by the Creator to deliver it." Jared smiled a wicked smile when he said, "And they don't stand a chance against Liam, our wolf spirit protectors and I." 

The Inspector looked into Jared's eyes deeply. "I truly believe what you are saying Jared. I just wish I could watch this." 

Jared looked at the four wolves and nodded his head slightly towards the treeline. They each barked once and headed to the trees with their noses down towards the ground. They stopped at the treeline 

The wolves had found the trail left by their friends, and they looked at Jared and yipped. 

"Go ahead guys," called out Jared. "Do not be seen and stay in the treeline around the camp." They yipped and all pushed and shoved each other trying to be first as they disappeared into the trees. 

"They are like that even when not in their spirit guide forms. Good brotherly competition," Jared said to the Inspector. 

The inspector was using his phone to call for men to guard the ambulance. He was thinking to himself that he had no clue who these guys were or what the hell was going on, but he knew the bad guys were about to meet more than their match. He watched as Jared walked towards the treeline and disappeared. He shook his head. Jared didn't walk into the treeline; the Inspector knew he had seen him disappear.

***** 

The Pastor had wanted a medic inside the compound in case there was some shooting so he had sent his men to try and kidnap one. The men had been watching from the trees and watched as the two medics walked down the road without the policeman with them. They had come up behind the two of them as they were looking in the back of the ambulance. The older guy had started to struggle until the younger one had told him to settle down, co-operate fully and he knew no one would be hurt. Bob, the one gunman thought it was very unusual to hear someone as calm as the young guy talking. It didn't matter, the older guy settled down and they both cooperated the entire way back to the camp. 

Both of them were sitting, each tied to a chair in the back of the chapel. The pastor had been running around and spouting hellfire and brimstone about the forces of evil which were surrounding and threatening them. The associates of the Pastor were buying right into it as well. The pastor finally walked over to the two men who were tied up. 

"Are you Christians?" he asked. 

Rob spoke first and replied, "I'm Roman Catholic." 

Liam looked him square in the eyes and stated very clearly, "I believe in the one and only Creator of all." 

The Pastor looked disgusted at them. "So neither of you has been reborn?" 

Rob looked confused. "I go to church and I was baptised. Is that what you mean sir?" 

"No it isn't. You're a heathen." He turned to Liam. "What about you, boy?" 

Liam smiled, "No sir. The first time was hard enough on my mother so I didn't think it would be reasonable to be born again, especially now that I am this big." 

The Pastor's face turned a dark red at the disrespect of this young man. "You smart assed heathen piece of shit," he said as he backhanded Liam. 

Liam smiled at the pastor, which made him even angrier. He locked eyes with Liam. "You're the faggot who is the partner of the faggot who caused all the problems for my loyal people. Aren't you?" 

Liam smiled at the pastor. "Guilty as charged. Your loyal people were all lying, thieving, prejudiced..." He was cut off by the pastor back handing him again. 

"Liam, stop making him mad before you get hurt," pleaded Rob. 

"Rob, he can't hurt me. I have the protection of the Creator," said Liam calmly. "Rob, the pastor is not what he seems to be; you are only seeing his physical form." 

The man punched Liam in the face three times rapidly. "You are nothing but a faggot piece of shit. You are a sinner and my followers will prevail. I was born to lead people into the light of truth. People like you need to be destroyed; you are an abomination before my eyes!" 

Liam showed no damage to his face when he looked at the pastor. "That's a bit of a God complex isn't it, Rev?" 

Rob pleaded with Liam. "Don't piss him off anymore, please Liam. Stop it please." 

"Listen to the man faggot. He may not be reborn yet, but he is speaking with wisdom," said the pastor with an evil smile on his face. 

"Last chance pastor, let us go and put your weapons down. Give it up," said Liam. "I came with your men voluntarily to meet you because I was sent here to stop you." 

"No one can stop me faggot," screamed the pastor as he backhanded Liam again. This time it was with enough force to cause Liam and the chair to fall over. He hit the floor very hard. 

Rob called to him in a panic, "Are you ok Liam?" He then turned to the Pastor. "Some man of God you are, hitting a man tied to a chair." 

The Pastor raised his hand and was about to strike Rob on the side of the face when Liam shouted, "Stop, you will not hurt him!" loud enough to cause the chapel to shake. 

The pastor stepped backwards. "EVIL!" he yelled at the two men. 

Liam now stood up, free of his bonds. He looked at Rob, his eyes flashed briefly and he was free as well. "I've had enough of this Rob. It's time to deal with this false profit and evil man." 

The pastor was standing there and having trouble forming words after what he had seen. He started backing up down the aisle towards the front of the church. Finally, he yelled, "Philip, Mark - shoot these heathen and let them rot in Hell for eternity." 

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the Pastor. "That's not a good idea." 

He turned to see a man standing in front of the church alter, dressed in leather and furs like an Indian. There were four wolves with him. "Where did you come from? Who the fuck are you?" demanded the pastor. The other men in the chapel were obviously startled as much as the pastor. 

"I am Masqua, Sacred Medicine Man of the People and messenger of the Creator," said Jared. Jared looked over at Liam. "Mikisow, my partner and soul mate. Will you join me here at the front, my love?" 

"GAY HEATHENS inside my chapel!" the pastor screeched. He turned and looked at the back and saw no one there anymore. He spun around and saw the man who had been called Liam now standing next to the man he had called Jared. He saw Liam was also dressed in buckskins and furs, but of a different style. What really caught his eye was the huge staff with furs and fathers hanging off the top of it. The other man who had been with them was obviously hiding behind the alter as the Pastor could only see his head sticking slightly above it. 

Liam stood forward, "This has gone on long enough. The Creator has sent us to cleanse this sacred place which has been soiled by both your actions and the evil within your hearts." 

"What are you two going to do about it?" asked one man off to the left side as he lifted the gun in his hands. 

"As a sample for you, we could do this," said Jared. He raised his hand up slowly as if motioning a person to stop. Jared aimed his hand in the direction of the man quickly pushed it out. 

The man felt like he had been hit by a brick wall. He dropped his gun as and flew backwards until he painfully slammed into the wall. The man hung there for a moment until Jared dropped his hand to his side. The man pinned against the wall fell to the floor unconscious. 

Jared turned to Liam, pointed to the man near a window of the church and said, "Your turn." 

Liam made the same gesture with his hand and the man was pushed backwards and straight out smashing his way through the window, landing on the ground in the front of the astounded policemen. "What the hell?" yelled out one the police officers as they pounced on the man to handcuff him. 

The Pastor was in shock with what he had just seen, but he had had enough control left to get control of his own slung gun. He quickly raised his gun to fire it at the two young men when Liam reached out his hand, palm facing sideways. He closed his hand into a fist and the gun the Pastor was holding crushed above the trigger effectively jamming the entire assembly. The Pastor pulled the trigger but nothing happened. Liam used his hand in a gesture of throwing his hand to the side. The gun flew out of the hands of the man, snapping the sling and clattered to the floor a good distance away. 

"What you have done here is encouraged hate within the ranks of the children of God and the Creator. You have led these people in false worship while stealing their money, using the church to create a drug lab and as a distribution center for your personal gain," said Jared. 

"You are spreading poison throughout our community physically through the drugs and spiritually through your words," added Liam. 

"Who are you to question me as the leader of the church? You are standing in my church and you have the balls to question me," the man said. 

The four wolves growled at the man, their hackles raised high. 

Liam's words came loudly and shook the building, "This may be your building, but you are a false idol, a façade to cover your real work of spreading evil. You are standing here with weapons and the intent to kill other people who stand in your way. It is time to have your actions judged and subjected to his punishment." 

"It is time for you and your people to be judged in the Creator's court," added Jared. Both Liam and Jared's bodies slowly began to glow. It had begun in the middle of their chest and kept expanding until their bodies were both a pure white luminescence. The entire chapel was filling with the bright, white light from their luminescence. Rob actually turned away from the two men because they were becoming so bright. 

There were four men who were moving slowly towards a fire escape door. "Get them," Jared commanded his wolves. They bounded over the pews and each wolf landed on a man before they could even raise a weapon. Not one of the men had expected anything like this, not even in their nightmares. These were the biggest, blackest wolves they had ever seen in their lives, and now they had their mouths on the men's throats, the teeth just touching their skin. 

"Bring them over here guys," asked Jared nicely. Three of the wolves released the men's throats only to grab the front of their clothing in their teeth. They carried the men over to where Jared was like a puppy carrying his rag doll toy back to his master. 

Jared turned to look at the last wolf. "Tyler, do you need help?" The wolf was growling very loudly now, and he was also slowly beginning to close his jaws onto the man's neck. Jared saw the man had a small knife in his hand. 

"You have a choice to make. Drop the knife and live, or you will be dead in five seconds," said Jared calmly. "When I reach five, Tyler will clamp his jaws shut. One...two...three..." The knife clattered to the ground. "Good choice. Bring him here buddy." 

Tyler was the biggest of the four wolves, and wanting to give some payback, he shook the man rapidly while he carried him over to his friends. After he had dropped the man on the floor, he turned around and raised his leg. 

"Tyler, no!" said Liam quickly. Tyler's ears flattened as he dropped his leg. He looked at Liam with pleading eyes. Liam smiled at him, and his ears went back up. "Come here guys." The four wolves bounded up and sat on each side of Liam and Jared. 

Liam moved forward to within about 2 feet of the Pastor and extended his staff to touch him on the shoulder. "You are not the man you seem to be Pastor. The shell is human, but the insides are pure evil." Liam lifted his staff and pounded the base of the staff onto the floor. A sound of thunder reverberated throughout the church. He did it a second time, and then a third time. 

After the third time he chanted, Liam reversed the staff and gently brought it down on the shoulder of the pastor. 

The pastor screamed in agony as white and red sparks flew everywhere. The man screamed in unearthly agony as Liam kept the staff on his shoulder. As the man thrashed about, a black shadow was seen almost moving out his body but fighting to remain within it. Liam concentrated more and the red sparks were decreasing as the white sparks increased. This caused the man to wail even louder. The shadow was seen separating from its host, but not enough yet. Jared moved next to Liam and put one hand on his shoulder. The sparks tripled in size, with the white ones bouncing around the church now. Suddenly Jared felt a hand on his shoulder and realized it was Troy. Troy, Darren, Josh and Tyler were there as well now in their human form. 

Liam raised his head and called out to the world above, "May the Creator guide my hands to do his work." 

The force being created by the six of them was too much for the shadow spirit and it left the Pastor's body as it fell to the ground. 

Liam turned to the shadow as it hung in the air. Suddenly a red coloured orb hit in the chest, fired from the back of the church. They all saw the buffalo standing there. The red colour did not last long as the shadow screamed a high pitched sound which caused everyone's hair to stand on their necks before it exploded into dust. 

Jared turned to the men and said, "Stand before us, do we need to do it do it for you?" They stood and moved slowly to where they were wanted. 

Liam stood forward and reached out with his staff parallel to the four men at nipple height. "Put your right hand on the staff." They did so. 

Jared moved forward and grabbed the staff as well. 

"Are we ready, Masqua?" asked Liam 

"We are always ready, Mikisow, my partner and soul mate," said Jared. 

The two men started to chant. Once again their bodies become luminescent with white light. The four men with their hands on their friends' shoulders also become luminescent. The inside of the church was as bright as if a phosphorus flare had been light. The chanting continued until Liam yelled, "Leave these men now, spirits." 

Rob was now standing up from behind the church alter. He had seen things like what he was watching in movies and on TV. It was all special effects and pyrotechnics. Fake, all of it. He could not believe he was seeing it for real, or was he unconscious and imagining this. That's it he thought, I've been hit in the head and I'm suffering from a brain injury. There is no way this really be happening. 

Suddenly, four shadows flew out of their bodies and quickly moved to the back of the church, and knelt in front of the buffalo. The people present heard four different tones of screeching being emitted from the shadows. 

"You are asking for mercy, why should it be granted?" the buffalo asked. 

There were more screeching sounds which continued for a minute, and then silence. "Is that the best reasons you can give me, evil ones?" the buffalo said. 

There were more screeching sounds from all four of them. From the speed and pitches of the screeching, they must be begging. 

"Enough," said the buffalo calmly as he cut them off. 

"You will be released," the buffalo said. His eyes turned a luminescent green as he looked at each of the shadows. The shadows slowly turned into four floating spirits of youths about 15-20 years of age. The four of them thanked the buffalo, drifted over to the six men standing and thanked them as well. They departed quickly up and through the roof of the church. 

The buffalo moved down the aisle towards the men on the floor and Jared's tribe. 

He spoke to them all. "I will use your English names today so you understand me clearly." His big head moved towards where Rob was standing in utter disbelief. "Come and join us Rob," he said calmly. Slowly, Rob moved down and stood behind Jared and Liam. He looked at Tyler, Josh, Darren and Troy and they were smiling back at him. 

Troy spoke up. "Hey boss, guess I should tell you I'm with them. Rob, believe what is happening and what you have seen. It's real." 

The buffalo coughed to get their attention. "I am very proud of what all you men did today. Together, you destroyed a purely evil entity who has been plaguing mankind since the beginning of time. Although I helped, it was only a matter of time before you would have finished him yourselves. The other four spirits were young people who had been killed with his poisons and their souls he had taken. They begged for forgiveness and confessed their truths to me. I chose to release the evil energy within them because they sincerely asked for help and their true spirits were allowed to move them onto the next world in peace. They thanked each one of you for releasing them from their personal hell." 

Liam called out to Rob, "Rob, can you go find the children and release them first?" He turned to Jared and explained the order in which they had promised the people to leave as a signal all was safe. 

Liam spoke, "Creator, I am honoured you have spoken to me and allowed me to do your work." The rest echoed his statement. 

"It is I who am honoured to have six truly dedicated men to do my work. I see we will have a long relationship together. Jared and Liam already have my direct protection. Troy, Tyler, Darren and Josh you are now also under my direct protection. Liam and Jared have a lot of teaching for you four to learn what my protection is. Use it well with a true heart and true love." 

"I need your help," said the buffalo. 

The men standing before him kneeled to one knee and bowed their head. "Anything you ask Creator will be done." 

The buffalo coughed, lifting his head straight up and shaking it. "I am honored you would help me. You have helped three new brothers and one is yet to cross your path in life. My children, the future will lead you to new challenges which will test both your commitment and love for each other. The future is cloudy for you, my children. Depending upon the path you travel, one of you may cause extreme heartache for your family of brothers. Another path may involve the choice of ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of others. There are many paths which will lead you all on your journey through life, but you must always make the wisest choice. Not the easiest, or the most convenient choice, the wisest one my children. Jared, the new family members must do their vision quest soon and the sooner the better for their safety." 

With that he turned into a glowing orb and floated through the broken window. 

Rob came back into the chapel and called out, "The kids are on their way out." 

"Send the counsellor's and other adults out next," Liam called out. Rob disappeared again into the kitchen area. He returned a moment later and called out, "Done!" 

Jared looked at the five men on the floor and spoke. "You will walk out the front door with your hands up. You will answer every question put to you by the police. You will cooperate with them by providing with all the information in your heads. Do you understand?" 

Very calmly, they all responded yes. 

"You will also forget what you saw us do as well as the Creator in the form of the buffalo. Do you understand?" 

Again, they responded, "Yes." 

"Leave the building and admit your guilt," commanded Jared. 

The men stood and walked to the door. They raised their hands and walked outside. The police were moving in from all directions now and taking all adults into custody until they could figure who was and was not involved. 

"You guys need to end the trance soon," said Liam as he turned to his four brothers. They were already gone. Liam and Jared were now back to wearing their paramedic uniforms as well. 

Rob walked up to them and stood there. "Jared, I just don't know what to make of this. Are you guys gods or what? What was that talking buffalo? You guys were totally glowing bright white in colour." 




Paramedic Pt. 14



Liam slowly reached up and touched Rob on the elbow. He entered into Rob's mind and saw the conflicts with his memories. The teachings of the church, his parents upbringing and he placed new order into Rob's mind, "You will remember nothing from the time you fell over after the Pastor slapped you until you wake up in the hospital." Rob froze while this was being done. Liam then placed a set of new memories into Rob's mind, "You were slammed into a wall and lost consciousness. Sleep." Rob collapsed to the floor." 

Jared looked at Rob and then up at Liam. "It was the right thing to do, my soulmate Liam." 

"You don't know the half of it Jared. He was conflicted and tore to the inner core with what he saw," replied Liam. 

They had no more conversation as the police came in and secured the scene. The police called for the ambulances to come up to the doors. One of the crews took care of Rob, while the other took Liam as a precaution. 

The police Inspector saw Jared and walked over to him. "Thank you for doing this Jared," he said. 

"The Creator did it, Sir. There is no more evil in this building or the people who came out of the building. The evil was destroyed, as I promised," said Jared. 

"I believe it, Jared," said the Inspector. He extended his hand towards Jared. "May the peace of the Creator be with you Jared." 

Jared took his hand and replied, "And also with you, Inspector." 

"I will keep your name and Liam's out of this as much as possible, and I take it I can have your shot up ambulance towed back into town?" he asked. 

Just then, Jared felt himself embraced by two men from behind. 

The three of them hugged tightly. "Tyler, Joshie - it's good to see you brothers," said Jared. 

"It good to see you too brother," replied Tyler. 

The Inspector jumped into the conversation. "I assume you will catch a ride with your brothers Jared?" 

"If you have no further need for us, Sir," replied Jared. 

"None at all, please drive home carefully," he said. 

The three of them left the church and started walking to Tyler's car. Jared reached out and slapped the back of Tyler's head. 

"Ouch! That one hurt!" whined Tyler. 

"Really Tyler? Really? You were going to piss on them?" asked Jared. 

Tyler had one hand rubbing his head where Jared had slapped him. "It seemed like a good idea at the time." 

Tyler, Josh and Jared were getting into the car while Jared kept saying, "Really Tyler?" If someone had been close enough, just before the last door of the police car had closed, they would have heard Josh asking Jared if Tyler was going to get a spanking for being a bad wolf. 

Tyler had gone straight to the hospital and found Liam waiting for them in the emergency department. He looked at Tyler and started to speak, but was cut off by Jared telling him he had already been dealt with. Liam looked at Tyler and said once, "Really Tyler?" to laughter of the group. 

"How's Rob?" asked Tyler. 

"They want to keep him over night to watch for signs of concussion. He will probably be off work for a few days too," said Liam. "He's shook up pretty good, but will recover just fine." 

Jared was deep in thought. Speaking in the voice of someone thinking aloud, "So if Rob came out with you, and is off work for a few days, who is running the base right now?" 

Liam smiled at Jared. "She wants to see you ASAP, and she said to bring those two fucking flatfoots and the piss-ant hose puller with you." 

The three men spoke at once, "Oh God, it's the Dragon lady and she wants to meet Darren now!"

The adventures may continue after a break from writing it, and if enough people want me to continue writing the story and Scott will keep editing it for me. I am incredibly indebted to Scott for his patience with me and his suggestions were always an improvement to the story. I truly appreciate the friendship we are developing between us and maybe someday I will be able to return the favor to him. 

Editor's note: 

I, just like you, have become entranced with this story. Fortunately, I not only have had the privilege of editing the last half of it, but also of making a new friend who has already helped me more than he knows. He gives me too much credit, though. I typically just put in missing commas. =) I hope Jared and company have more adventures, and if so, I will be here for the ride along with you. - Scott
