Greg’s eyes opened when the sun was just rising. He was confused a minute then panicky when he didn’t feel Steve’s warm body cuddled against him. Then his mind cleared and he remembered the argument the night before. He sighed and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, then pulled himself out of the bed. He was emotionally exhausted and he doubted today would be any less difficult then yesterday. He got up and started to the bathroom but stopped dead when he seen the door to the guest room open and the bed empty. He didn’t hear a shower running so he knocked on the door. Concerned about where Steve was , he used the bathroom then quickly washed up and went downstairs. The living area was empty as well and Misty was quietly eating her breakfast in the kitchen. “ Misty girl, where is Steve ?” The cat looked at him and yawned, before trotting off to her cat bed in the corner of room. “ Okay Greg,” he said to himself, “ you are having a conversation with a cat.” He went to look outside to see if Steve’s car was still parked in the drive. He opened the door and finally found his lover sitting on the swing on the front porch. He was relieved to find Steve there and he said softly “ Good morning.” Steve looked at him, his eyes were red, obviously he had been crying. “ Guess you will run off to spend the day sitting with Adrian. I mean he can’t be alone can he, since you feel so guilty about what happened. “ He is not alone, Sherriff Rossi was kind enough to sit with him last night, he told me to come home.” Steve looked disgusted and said “ He told you to come home, you needed someone to tell you to leave Adrian and come home to me ? For God’s sake Greg, are you sure you still want to be with me, or do you wish you were back with Adrian ? Steve I want to be with you, it was over with Adrian a long time ago. “ “ You slept with him less then a week ago ? You obviously aren’t over him or it wouldn’t have happened. “ Damn it Steve do you realize what a tight rope I have been walking since you were raped. If I touched you I feel like I am pushing you, but if I don’t touch you, I am rejecting you. I am so sorry that I don’t have all the answers , that I don’t know how to handle this. I am trying really hard to figure it out. “ Well now you can figure it out with Adrian! “ Steve snapped. He was suddenly very tired and said “ I don’t want to argue about this, Greg. The whole time I was with that monster, the only thing that kept me going was thinking if I survived I would be able to go home to you. And you would still love me and that would make it OK. “Greg reached for him “ Steve I still do love you, I have never stopped loving you.” Steve shook his head,” I can’t stay with you if I can’t trust you Greg. I really think we need some time apart. Greg sighed and said “ How is that going to fix things ?” Steve’ face was blank, “ I don’t know if this is fixable Greg, maybe we don’t have what we thought we had.” Greg’s heart felt like it broke in two at that moment, he steadied his voice and said “ I know what I have Steve, I have the love of the most amazing man I have ever met, and I him in return, more then anything. “ Steve looked at him, and said “ Well you should have thought about that before you jumped in bed with Adrian. “ Once again Greg went to touch Steve, but he pulled away then said “ You came home from Seattle, spent the night making love to me, and didn’t say anything about Adrian. If he hadn’t followed you here and wound up being….. hurt, were you going to tell me what happened ?” Greg didn’t answer and Steve said “ Should be a simple question Greg . When his lover still didn’t speak, Steve said “ Alright, I am going to pack a few things and go visit my Mom. Not sure I am going to explain this but I will figure something out !” When you can say for sure that you want to be with me and not Adrian, then we can talk. “ Greg tried to embrace his lover but Steve stood his ground. Even though his heart and voice were both breaking he said “ Go relieve Sheriff Rossi, I am sure he has better things to do then babysit your first love.” Greg did not wish to argue any further, he would not make any progress with Steve right now. He stood up and said “ I am going to take a shower and eat breakfast. Then I will be out of sight. “He leaned over and tilted Steve’ s face up to his. He kissed him gently on the mouth. Steve didn’t protest, he actually responded. However he said “ Goodbye Greg !” Greg went back into the house without another word.

The rattle of a meal cart woke Adrian from his slumber. He blinked and looked around trying to figure out not only where he was but why he hurt so bad. There was an older dark haired man sitting across the room from him. Suddenly the events of the day before came crashing in on him. He had followed Greg to San Francisco. Then he got in a car with a strange man who claimed to be a friend of Gregs. The man had raped Adrian and left him for dead. Greg had came to comfort him for a while, but wanted to go home with Steve. Now he had been left under the watchful eye of this police officer. A friend of Greg’s , what was his name Robbie, no Rossi. The man put down the paper he was reading then said” Well hello, you are awake !!” The door opened and a nurse’s aid came in carrying a tray. She smiled shyly and sat it down on the bedside table. She helped Adrian get into position to eat, then asked the sherrif if he wanted breakfast. The sherriff said “ Well normally breakfast is coffee but since I skipped my supper I will take you up on the offer. It will give me time to talk to this young man some more. “ Adrian looked down at the table shyly and said “ Thank you for sitting with me all night. It was very kind of you. “ The sherrif accepted the tray the aid handed to him, thanked her, then he said to Adrian “ Well, Greg said you were alone here, and he needed to be home with Steve. So I was happy to help out. “ Adrian said “ I shouldn’t have come here, this happened because I was so stupid, I thought that Greg still wanted me.” “No, Adrian this is not your fault, this happened because there is an evil man out there, who preys on young men.” Adrian picked at his food and the sherrif quietly watched him for a minute then said, “ Do you want to help stop him ?” Adrian didn’t speak for a minute then asked “ What can I do ?” Let me bring a sketch artist in and you try to give a description. He wore a mask when he had Steve, so he can’t give an ID.” Adrian thought for a minute then he said” I really don’t want people to know. “ The sheriff said" Adrian he brutally raped you and he kidnapped, raped, and tortured Steve. And he keeps threatening to grab Steve to molest and abuse him again. You are the only one who has seen his face Adrian.” The young man sighed then finally, reluctantly, he agreed. “Alright, I will try and describe him.” Sherrif Rossi said “ Look I am going to go home, shower, spend a few minutes with my wife and get back here with the artist around noon. “ Adrian nodded his consent and shook Rossi’s hand. The sheriff gathered his things and after saying goodbye left the room.

Greg had eaten a quick breakfast that really had no taste while Steve did his laundry and packed. He knew his lover had a stubborn streak, so he seen no point in arguing with Steve right now. He wanted space, Greg was going to give him space. He hoped within a few days Steve would realize how much he loved and missed Greg. Then he could work on getting the singer to forgive him. He took a few items with him to read and drove to the hospital. He was walking across the parking lot when he seen the Sheriff coming towards him. He met him halfway and he told the keyboardist that he would be back at noon to get a description of the attacker. “ How did things go with Steve ? “ He wants time apart !” Greg said, his eyes full of hurt. “ I am sorry, but he might feel different if you give him some time. He just got hit with a lot to process, “ Rossi tried to be positive. Greg said “ I am stupid, stupid to sleep with Adrian and stupid to not have been honest with Steve.” The sheriff touched his arm, “Well maybe something good can come out of this all. Adrian seen his face, maybe we get a decent picture, then we can nail this bastard. Alright, so stop beating yourself up. You can’t change the past, you can only move forward. Now you can go check up on Adrian but remember what your primary focus is here.” He smiled encouragingly..” See you later !”
After Gregg left Steve sat in the bedroom thinking about how wonderful it had been the night before last. Why couldn’t Adrian have kept himself in Seattle. But Gregg was at fault too. He had fucked Adrian. It was a cliché but Steve wondered when Greg was making love to him did think about the stunning redhead. Steve had seen a photo of the man once. Brunette’s like Steve were a dime a dozen but a Adrian was a gorgeous emerald eyed creature with long, thick auburn tresses. Neal commented one time that he looked like a really sexy leprechaun if there was such a creature. At the time the comment made Steve laugh, now it felt like a knife in his heart. He suddenly realized, he wanted to .. no needed to talk to Neal. He picked up the phone and dialed Neal’s number.
-------------------
The last two days had been tough on Neal. He had not heard from Gregg or Steve since he returned home. He was not sure if Steve had spilled the beans on their almost indiscretion. Plus even if that had not happened, sooner or later he would have to face them both when the band got back together. Neal felt like he had lived a lifetime since Steve’s abduction, he felt 45 instead of 25. He jumped every time the phone rang or someone came to the door. He was sure Greg would probably kick his ass if he knew Neal put his hands on Steve, as if he was taking advantage of his vunerable state. Just as he was thinking that the phone jangled and after composing himself, Neal picked it up. He was hit with a ton of conflicting emotions when he recognized Steve’s voice. But he immediately focused on the call when he heard Steve began to cry.
Two hours later Steve was sitting in the front of Neal’s car, explaining what had transpired since Greg had come home. He had begged Neal to come by and pick him up, and they had taken a short drive out of the city. Neal listened patiently as Steve told about his and Greg’s loving reunion, followed by him running to Adrian’s side, then Greg’s revelation. Finally Steve said “ I knew when that the minute I was raped, I was going to loose Greg. But not quite this way. I mean he still love Adrian even though he is damaged goods now too. “ Neal disagreed, “ No, I have known Greg a long time, and pretty well at that. He loves you. He made a huge mistake and he knows it. He may feel guilty about what he did, and what the resulting effect has been on Adrian, but he is not in love with him. It was over a long time ago. In fact even with Adrian, I have never seen him as happy as he is with you.” Steve said “ I still need some time to think, it is just so overwhelming. Could you take me back to the house so I get finish packing. I need to get Misty feed and ready to travel. I am going home to my Mom’s . Neal said “ I will do better then that, if you insist on going I will take you home, let you finish up, then swing by and drive you to your Mom’s. That’s a long drive, “ I know too long for you to make by yourself. We can take your vehicle and I can rent a car to go home tomorrow. That is if your Mom wouldn’t mind putting me up for the night. “ No,” Steve said, “she likes you, she would love you to visit. She knows I am coming but I haven’t told her why. She is probably planning for me and Greg. At Neal’s blush, Steve actually chuckled slightly and said “ Don’t worry, she has extra bedrooms.”
--------------
Greg had spent the morning with Adrian. After breakfast, a nurse helping him to wash up, and a change of bed linens, the red head was quite tired. He dozed while Greg read a book and worked on song lyrics. Finally just after 12 PM the Sherriff Rossi came back with the police artist. Rossi introduced him to Adrian and Greg, then invited the later to a comedown to the cafeteria for lunch. “ It will be better for Adrian to have a clear head, if he can be one on one with the artist. It won’t take long. In fact there is a little Italian place right across the street makes an amazing manicotti. We can skip the cafeteria and go there. Take Adrian a doggy bag back, give him a break from hospital food. “ After a satisfying, if a bit heavy meal, the two men went back to the hospital. The sketch artist was finished his work and waiting in the hallway to show the sherriff the portrait. Greg took Adrian the carry out foo d and helped him set up for a meal before joining the sherrif in the hallway. The artist said “ Adrian here was very helpful, he has a good eye for faces. He gave a great description. He handed the drawing to Rossi who then said “ Alright Greg take a good look at this, tell me if it is anyone you and Steve would know. ‘
Greg looked at the portrait and felt as if he had been punched in the gut. He had to grab hold of a chair to steady himself. He probably would have fallen if the Sherriff wouldn’t have put out his hand to steady him. At the look of shock and horro r on the young man’s face, Rossi asked “ Greg who is it ? “ Gregg sank into the chair and said “ Steve told me, he told me it was him, that he recognized his voice.. and the way he touched him. I assured him it couldn’t be true. I should have believed him.” “Greg , who is it ? “ Rossi voice was gentle but firm. Greg’s voiced was teary as well as his eyes , “God, I let him examine Steve. Steve begged me not to let him touch him.”Greg choked out, “ It’s Mark, Aaron’s partner Mark !!!”
----------
Back at the house Steve was packing up his last few things. While letting Misty eat and use the litter box, he packed her cat food and few toys before he placed her in the cat carrier. He felt a deep sadness as he come to see his this as his home, content and loved by Gregg. Now he was afraid he would never come back. Neal had dropped him off and promised to be back in a couple hours. Steve was even packing some snacks and and food for a late afternoon meal, so they could just pull over at a rest stop and eat. He knew that Neal’s feelings for him were difficult and complicated and his involvement in this situation didn’t help things any. However he needed Neal right now and he had been completely honest about what was going on. Steve picked up two of his suitcases and took them out to the car. He closed the door after telling Misty “ I will be right back. We are going to go visit Mom for a little while. He went and opened the trunk of the Mercedes putting his luggage inside. He was about to climb the steps back up to the porch when he suddenly was grabbed around his waist. He struggled and screamed but the house was too far from the main road for anyone to hear him. A familiar voice whispered “ Told you I wasn’t done with you yet. I had to get rid of that body guard, he is in his trunk and you are all alone. You know you are so much cuter then Adrian. He snickered then, “Tighter too. “ Steve tried to resist his captor but his struggles were fruitless. They then ended quickly when a cold rag covered Steve’s mouth and nose. The odor was strong and breathing it made Steve quickly loose consciousness.
