Part 10

"Ben! God, they let you out?" Debbie cries tears of joy as he and Michael enter her house with Detective Kinney's long figure towering over them a few days later.

"I told you I'd bring him home safely," Brian huffs.

"But what happened? Do you know who did it?" Debbie urges Brian.

"A guy by the name of Chris Hobbs did it." Brian informs her, looking straight into Justin's eyes. Justin tries to curl further into the sofa, barely holding back the tears in his eyes.

"The boy who accused Ben of sexually attacking him was a distant cousin of that sleaze bag Hobbs. They all come from one big, fucking, dysfunctional family. So when Cody's dad heard what his lovely little son told him, he turned to his long lost cousin for help. When Hobbs arrived to Hope House that night, armed and dangerous, he was actually after Ben, seeking revenge for Cody's alleged sexual assault," Brian concludes quietly.

"Fuck, I need a drink," Debbie hisses.

"Make it three. Or better yet, this one's on me. Woody's. Now!" Brian orders.

"Are you coming?" he asks, approaching Justin.

"Well, I guess I am." Justin smiles. "Does that mean I can go back to my place afterwards?"

"Technically you're free to go, but I was kinda hoping you might want to come over to my place for the night," Brian whispers, slightly pressing his body against Justin's.

Epilogue

"Good morning, Sunshine." Brian whispers sweetly in Justin's ear the next morning. Justin stretches his naked body across the mattress in Brian's huge bed.

"You've got a great place here," Justin points out in a contented, sleep-filled voice.

"You've got a great ass," Brian replies as he slides his hand across Justin's bubble butt, savoring some vivid, passion-filled moments said ass had given him last night and then again earlier this morning.

"I bet you wanted to say that since the first time we met." Justin mentions quietly, nestling his head in the crook of Brian's neck.

"More or less." Brian presses his forehead to Justin's, planting a sloppy kiss on his lips.

"I think I need to pay Daphne's parents a visit soon. It's been too long. They deserve to know the truth," Justin whispers as they break the kiss.

"I can join you, if you want, it might be easier for you that way," Brian says, silently playing with a strand of Justin's hair.

"I really appreciate it, Detective." Justin replies, lazily throwing his right leg around Brian's waist, planting another deep kiss on the man's lips.
