Chapter 2: Lots Of Lovely Dreams

‘I thought you might find that a lot easier,’ Andrew said. ‘I know Lewis did.’ When everything was ready, they sat and waited. Eventually John came round and started screaming and crying. ‘My bum is killing me,’ he cried out, ‘The pain is awful.’

‘That’s what you did to all your victims,’ Cliff told him as he cried like a baby. Cliff let him suffer for a short while then, ‘Goodbye John,’ he said as he stuck the needle in his arm. He’d hardly finished pressing the plunger before John was unconscious again.

After tying it off, Cliff cut open his scrotum in the middle and fished out one ball. He explained to Mitch what he was doing. Mitch was standing behind him fascinated. Andrew took hold of the ball whilst Cliff tied it off, then cut it off. Andrew passed it to Mitch who examined it with great interest.

As Cliff pulled the other ball out, Andrew asked Mitch if he’d like to pull it. Mitch took hold and pulled until Cliff said it was tight enough. He tied it off, then cut it off. The ball in Mitches hand was suddenly unattached. Mitch held one in each hand and stared at them in awe.

Cliff meanwhile was stitching up John’s scrotum. When he cut the two torniquets around the scrotum, John stirred and cried out. Cliff explained to Mitch about the pain as the blood started to recirculate. He started packing everything away.

After five minutes he felt John’s scrotum. It was still soft and empty. Happy that all his sutures were holding well, Cliff painted over the cut with iodine and finished putting everything away. Then they all heard running water as John let a wee go without knowing he was doing it.

It all ran harmlessly into the bucket. When it stopped, Cliff took the tube off John’s cock and put it in one of the black bags they had brought with them. Andrew took the bucket out, emptied it down the sink, swilled it out and replaced it where they had found it.

‘Mitch, you may never get another chance to feel a scrotum that has no balls in it,’ Cliff told him. ‘Come and try it.’ Mitch came over and felt it gingerly. ‘It feels so weird he said as he let go and stepped back. He took the lap top and the memory sticks back upstairs.

John’s phone was put back in his trouser pocket. All his clothes were folded up neatly in a heap on a chair except for his T shirt and shorts. Then when Cliff was satisfied that everything was packed up, he and Andrew quickly undid all the ropes, coiled them up and put them in the bag.

Between them they put his T shirt and shorts back on. When John woke up, he would find himself sitting in the armchair with a very sore bum. They assumed that he would feel very glad to find he was still alive and with the pain from his bum taking all his attention, he probably wouldn’t miss his balls for some time.

At the door, Cliff had a last check around, then they let themselves out. They returned to the shop and took everything into the back room. Cliff made them all a coffee. As they drank, Cliff thanked them and told them, ‘Tonight we have saved an unknown number of boys from being raped.’

‘They’ll never know they’ve been saved, but we can still feel proud about it.’ ‘What will you do with his balls?’ Mitch asked. ‘I know a couple of young men who will be delighted to see them,’ Cliff told them. ‘After that I’ll put them in the bin.’

‘I don’t suppose I’ll ever meet the first three victims, but if I can make contact and tell them what we did tonight, I’m sure it will help them put it all behind them. Cliff saw Mitch and Andrew out, then returned to the back room to clean everything up before going home.

TUESDAY - RAILWAY - LUKE & KURT

Earlier that evening Luke had picked Rosemary up from home and they went to the railway. Rosemary opened up the office and gave Luke the keys. Then she got on with some paperwork. Luke went down and opened up the engine shed.

Kurt hadn’t yet arrived, so following his instructions from last time, Luke started up the JCB and let it warm up. With still no sign of Kurt, he put it into gear and carefully drove it out of the shed. He did a couple of three-point turns, then drove over to the heap of soil and had another go at picking up a bucket full of soil.
