Free Rescuing Christmas by Jason Nichols Page B

happened to you guys. I wish I had known you guys long before this and had been able to help you guys out. You know about ten years ago when Jamie was just going into his freshman year of college I asked him out on a date. He said he was already in love with someone else. Over the next two years I noticed he was never around anyone so I approached him again and asked and he told me the exact same thing.”
    Chris said, “What did he say then?”
    Jamie spoke up from beside the couch and said, “I told him to quit asking me for a date, fuck me and get it over with and then hired him to be my personal bodyguard.”
    Chris laughed and said, “What happened?”
    Kevin said, “Well, I wasn’t going to turn down an invitation like that, so I fucked him and became his bodyguard then moved on to the head of his security after Michael his former head of security had a heart attack and died. I stayed on as his bodyguard though. That was the one and only time we ever had sex though.”
    Chris just smiled and said, “You guys don’t need to feel guilty about it. I wasn’t here and I have no claim to him from those past twenty years.”
    Kevin smiled and said, “That is where you are wrong. These past ten years I have known him, you have always had the only claim on him that I have ever been able to see. Then he started semi-dating that Kelly girl a couple years ago. When he got raped I tried to go to the police but he wouldn’t let me. I tried quitting because I let him down, but he wouldn’t let me. He had told me to stay home. Normally I would have ignored that and tailed him anyway as I do every day he is gone, except recently when he was with you, but I had just received word my grandmother was in the hospital in New York and wouldn’t make it past the holiday, so I went to see her.”
    Chris pulled Kevin close and planted a kiss on him to shut him up. “You took better care of him than anyone else has. I mean look at him, he may have suffered here and there but he is whole and alive and healthy and now I am hoping, happy.”
    Kevin sighed and snuggled against Chris’s side. Chris looked up at Jamie as he sat down on his other side. “I am very happy Chris. Now, tell us the story.”
    Chris sighed and put one arm around each man. He looked down at each of them and said, “If I wasn’t so much in love with Jamie, I might take advantage of this situation here.” They all laughed and Chris cleared his throat.
    “Okay, it starts with the Post Office. I was in there preparing to mail a letter to my former partner back in Los Angeles. He is looking for a new job and wants to move to a small town but stay in law enforcement. I had to reject him because unfortunately the budget won’t allow for me to hire any new officers. We just don’t have the funding for it.”
    Jamie sat up and said, “Kevin.”
    Kevin jumped up and ran to the security office and was back in a moment and he handed a very large and very thick envelope to Jamie who promptly handed it to Chris.
    Chris said, “What is this?”
    Jamie said, “Well, in light of recent events, and the positions my mother and I hold in this town, Kevin and I talked and decided this might be prudent. Half of that in there is from my mother.”
    Chris opened the envelope and pulled out a thick sheaf of papers. Jamie grabbed the top one and said, “The rest of this is all legal documentation. Just read this paper here.” He handed it to Chris who took it and read it.
    Chris stared at Jamie bewildered. “Are you kidding?” he asked.
    Jamie shook his head and said, “Nope.”
    Chris read the paper again. Jamie had donated twenty million dollars to the Sheriff’s Department and his mother had donated the same. The funding was to be used to hire new personnel and keep up with any needs in the future. He was to also use the funds to give raises to his current staff, including himself. The Mayor had already approved all of the decisions and raises were already in effect,
