Chapter 4: No Doubt Well Meet Again

‘When I got through, I told them everything that had happened, where the body was and why we had done what we had done.’ ‘I’ll pass it on to the local station,’ the lady on the phone said. It sounded to me as if she was struggling not to laugh.’

‘Thanks for letting us know what happened,’ she said, ‘Good luck to you.’ I thanked her and hung up. I wiped the handset and the nine button. Then I did the door handles as best I could on the way out of the kiosk.’

‘That was difficult to do without anyone noticing. After a good breakfast we got ready to go up. My bum still gave an occasional twinge, but I was hardly feeling it by then. Faisal and I walked up together. Faisal told me he’d miss my massage that evening.’

‘Well if you’re coming more often in future,’ I told him, ‘We can probably team up again. Then you can tell me how you are getting on.’ The walk up was quite easy after the previous day. Faisal and I reached the remains of the tower on top after an hour and three quarters.’

‘We walked around looking at the views for an hour then found a sheltered spot where we could sit and look out over the River Dee to the Wirral peninsula. I had considered telling Faisal what had happened on the basis he wouldn’t feel alone.’

‘But then I decided the less people who knew about it the better. Also, if he knew it might make him nervous about camping there in future. After a while, we strolled back down and had a coffee in the café. Then we went and sat by the river until the others were ready.’

‘When they dropped me off home, Faisal said, ‘Thanks for looking after me, I appreciate it.’ Steve told me the next week that after I’d got out Faisal had told them he didn’t think he would have got to the top of Tryfan if I hadn’t been there to help him.’

‘You did a grand job,’ Steve told me. ‘It’s so nice to see a youngster who cares.’ ‘So how did what happened affect you in future?’ Danny asked. ‘By the following day my bum was no longer sore, and I had no other physical affects.’

‘But a few nights later I had a nightmare in which the rape had lasted right through, and I’d been left in the clearing with blood pouring out of my bum. That upset me for a day or two, but over the years since, the nightmares got less and less.’

‘It’s been a year since I’ve had one now.’ ‘Did you ever find out any more about the rapist?’ Danny asked. ‘Yes, I did,’ Scott said. ‘I wasn’t going to bother, but three weeks later I had another trip with Bert in the same area. We did two big hills and shared a two-man tent.’

‘He massaged my legs, and we put the beds together and fired each other. It was lovely. He told me he had been out with Deidre twice since and he was bringing her to the next meeting, so I’d meet her. ‘She’ll probably come along on the next hill walk too.’ he said.’

‘He went quiet, then he said, ‘If she does, there’s a possibility... ‘ he stopped clearly having difficulty with what he wanted to say. ‘If she does, you might want to share with her.’ I told him. ‘I knew that would happen as soon as you told me she liked walking.’

‘You don’t mind?’ he said brightening up. ‘Of course not,’ I told him. ‘I’ll miss our nights together certainly, but who knows, I might be bringing a girlfriend along myself one day too.’ The next day we went to the cafe for breakfast, and I saw a local paper in the rack.’

‘The headline caught my attention, so I bought it. It said that following a tip off, the police had found a naked man tied up at a local beauty spot. The informant had told them that he had been tied up and raped himself as well as another young boy, but they had managed to knock him out afterwards and tie him up with his own rope.’

‘They were too embarrassed to come forward and make a statement but were concerned that if he got away with it, he would do it to others. So, they had tied a ligature tightly around his scrotum. By the time he was found his testicles and part of his scrotum had been without blood for too long and had to be amputated.’

‘The hospital told us that he will be unable to rape anyone ever again. The man denied that he had ever raped anyone, but forensic samples confirmed he had had anal sex with two people in the last twenty-four hours.’

‘However, without any victims to prove it, the police can’t take any further action, so he won’t be going to court. At that point I realised that they had re-printed the whole article from the previous week. When I turned the page, I found out why.’

‘In response to last week’s paper, hundreds of locals had written in. Their comments filled four pages. Five percent condemned this vigilante action outright. Five percent said he deserved it, but it shouldn’t have been done to him. But ninety percent thought he had got his just deserts and felt the victims deserved a medal.’

‘A final comment was from the police. ‘We cannot of course approve of anyone taking this sort of action,’ they said, ‘Should they be caught, the perpetrators will face a charge of assault. If anyone in this area has been raped, they should report it to their local police station.’

‘When asked if the police would be actively looking for the two victims, the spokesman smiled and said, ‘As I am sure you are aware, our funding is constantly being reduced. As a result of that, this will be very low on our priorities.;

‘I put the paper in the bin and hoped that the other lad had seen it too. We set off and had a lovely day on the hills. I met Deidre the following Wednesday and liked her. She and Bert seemed to get on well and they came along a fortnight later when we went to Yorkshire.’

‘On that occasion we stopped at a hostel with male and female dormitories. But the following time they came, they shared a tent. Six months later, they got married. The first time they shared, Faisal had come along so I shared with him.’

‘I massaged his legs the first night and we set up a double bed like last time. We fired each other and held each other close as we chatted. Faisal told me that since our first night together he had felt so much better.’

‘He said he fired himself almost every night now, without any problems and had stopped having nightmares. ‘I’ve even got chatting to a girl at work,’ he said. ‘I am planning on inviting her out next week.’ ‘That’s great,’ I told him, ‘Good luck.’

‘And how about you?’ Danny asked. ‘It was strange,’ Scott said, ‘My nightmares died away a lot, but sometimes when I had them, it was as if I was Faisal and being raped by his four attackers. But after a while, they both faded away and as I said I haven’t had one for a year now.’

‘It sounds to me,’ Danny told him, ‘As if you have sorted yourself out on your own. I think that now you have shared it all with me, it will disappear on its own. Certainly, when you get a girlfriend, it will go for good.’

‘That your nightmares didn’t re appear after seeing Clarkson raping Martyn is also a good sign. Do you still see Faisal?’ Danny asked. ‘Yes, occasionally,’ Scott told him. ‘I don’t go as often now because of my shifts but I bump into him occasionally. He brings his wife with him now too.’

‘Do you still have his phone number?’ ‘Yes, I’m sure it’s still in my phone.’ ‘Ok, I’ll come back to that after,’ Danny said. ‘Now I’m going to take you through a sex lesson so you will have the confidence to get yourself a girlfriend.’

Danny talked Scott right through from a first date to waking up after making love. As he described Scott entering her and her having an orgasm, Scott had gone very hard. Danny stroked slowly as he spoke then as Scott was about to fire in the story, Danny increased speed making Scott shoot and scream in ecstasy at the same time.

After mopping him up and washing his chest, Danny finished the story. They had a standup hug and a kiss then Scott got dressed. As they had another coffee, Danny told him, ‘I suggest that you tell Martyn that you’ll give him sex instruction if he wants you to. Tell him just to ask you when he thinks he needs it.’

‘Which way you do it is up to you. I’m sure he’ll love having it from you however you choose. When are you going to the club next.’ ‘On Wednesday to the meeting and if there’s no lastminute shift change, away with them for the weekend.’
