-Convenience- Midnight + Val

Elliot yawned as he pulled into the lot of the 24/7 7/11. He was craving some junk food and just couldn't ignore his stomach any longer. Slipping out of of his black Benz, the brunette walk into the store. DingDong.. The bells sang as he pushed the doors open. The clerk at the desk smiled as she watched him make his way to the back of the store. After several minutes of idle staring trying to figure out what to get Elliot just began picking up stuff. He needed to get up in the morning and here he was out close to midnight buying junk food.

The off duty cop grabbed several bags of chips, a three liter soda, some candy bars, and a couple of brownies from the front of the store. "You alright working here all by yourself ma'am?" he asked in that pesky police voice he loathed but couldn't help speaking in. She giggled softly looking the brunette over. He was dressed in a baggy white tee, baggy black jeans, a pair of white socks and addida flip flops--he looked nothing like a cop. "Yes, police officer sir..." she replied as she began to rang up his things. He blushed lightly. "The voice..." he simply said as he took out a twenty-dollar bill. The woman nodded as she bagged his things. "That will be $10.74..." she told him a smirk.

Handing her the twenty he grabbed the bags and his change. "Have a safe night ma'am..." he told her as he left the store. As he's putting his things in the trunk he hears a scream..."What the hell??" shutting the trunk quickly he reaches into the ankle holster he always wears on or off duty pulling out a .45. Sprinting off down the street he hurries to wear he perceived the scream to be from. While running he managed to call for some back up. When Elliot reached the scene out of breath and slightly tired it seemed like he was too late. "Put your hands up!" Elliot spoke in a commanding voice stopping the man in his tracks. Pow! Elliot ducked behind a dumpster from the man's shot. He darted off in the opposite direction still shooting to keep Elliot at bay. When the stranger was out of view Elliot rushed over to the victim. "A-are you alright?" he asked softly. The distant sounds of sirens grew louder and louder. "Finally..." he thought. Two squad cars and an ambulance arrive at the scene. Paramedics approach the victim as Elliot is pulled away for questioning.

 

[Midnight]

This was the single worst day in Adrian's life.

The young man had been walking home from work, a dead end night shift job where the uniform sucked and the hours sucked even worse. He had been struggling with the uniform as he walked through an alleyway, the short way home. What he hadn't noticed was that someone was following him. Adrian had his hands in his pockets as he was walking, through the dark alleyway, it was so late, there could be no possibility of anybody seeing him go through. Adrian had nearly got to the end of the alleyway when he heard something, but for him it was far too late. Adrian was pulled back as a large arm wrapped around, the hand of said arm clasped around his jaw, forcing his mouth shut. Adrien could only gasp, his attempt to formulate a plan to escape cut off by the telltale *Click* of a gun cocking. followed by the only warning from the definably male voice "Scream and I blow your fucking head off"

Adrian was scared witless, his attacker pressed the cold muzzle of the gun, a high caliber one at that to Adrian's head, right at the temple to let him know that the gun was real. The teen whimpered, but couldn't do much as his attacker let go of his mouth, The man slammed Adrian into the nearby brick wall, pinning him against his chest to hold adrian close to him as he reached back, Adrian could hear pants unzipping. He wasn't a woman, he almost looked like one, with his lithe teenage body, but in a few seconds it proved obvious that the man wasn't looking for a woman. The sounds of erratic, aroused breathing could heard behind Adrian as the man reached down and grabbed Adrian's crotch hard, then with a violent tug pulled his shorts down. Adrian opened his mouth to scream, but the metal barrel of the semi automatic was pressed to his lips.

The rapist proceeded to plunge into Adrian's body after stripping him, pinning him against the wall as he rammed his member into the teenaged boy, each thrust bringing an ever mounting amount of pain to the boy, he had been a virgin until that moment. Adrian was almost released when he felt a rush of hot seed inside him as the rapist released a grunt of pleasure, pulling out for a second while his victim tried to get away. Adrian only got a couple of steps away before something grabbed his wrist "Don't think I am done with you yet bitch" The attacker took Adrian again, even more violently this time, fucking him hard and without remorse, folded over, this time when he came inside Adrian he pushed him to the ground, hard. Adrian saw his chance, and screamed, he had never screamed like that before, it might have been the pain or the violation of being raped and creampied twice by some rapist. The man stood over him, the boy on the ground, bleeding, with tears screaming down his cheeks from the pain and humiliation of being used like that. Adrian curled up in a defensive ball but before his attacker went at him again, there was gunshots, lots of them.

Before Adrian knew it he heard sirens, his savior kneeling by his side. Adrian corrected himself, pulling the shorts of his uniform up and looking at his savior, tears still in his eyes "Thank you" whoever this guy was he probably just saved Adrian's life. The boy blinked, witting himself up and pressing himself a little into his savior in a pathetic attempt at a hug. When the paramedics arrived the boy was wrapped in a blanket and checked over, when asked if Adrian saw his attacker, he remained mute, shaking his head. all he could remember was the pain.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Youâ??re welcome was what he wanted to say but he was pulled off so quickly unable toâ??he barely even noticed the hug. â??Gosh Elliot even off duty trouble seems to find you.â? One of the cops whispered to him with a quiet chuckle. The comment was slightly amusing and he wanted to laugh but he was more worried about the boyâ??s well being. He didnâ??t seem to be responding to any of the paramedicsâ?? questions at all. â??A state of shockâ?¦ Youâ??ve seen more cases like this than all of us Elliot maybe you should be the one to talk to him.â? Another suggested. â??I donâ??t know you are the one with all the training in this field, Iâ??m not even sure what to sayâ?¦â? Elliot sighed as he looked down at the other officers. â??Please, Iâ??ve seen you handle cases like this better than most of the elitist back at the stationâ?¦ Câ??mon Elliot this should be a cake walk for you.â? Running his fingers through his dark bangs he sighed again. â??A-alrightâ?¦But you guys owe me for this big timeâ?¦â?

â??Is he alright?â? Elliot asked one of the paramedics. â??Yeah heâ??s fineâ?¦ A couple of minor bruises here and there. He should heal nicely within a couple of days. Heâ??s taking this hard though, I think the best thing for him is to be within the comfort of his own home.â? Elliot nodded patting the woman on her shoulder. â??Iâ??ll try and ask him some questions and then you can take him to the hospital so maybe his family can come comfort him or something.â? Elliot told her quietly before he began to approach Adrian. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the beating of his heart. As he stood in front of Adrian he smiled a friendly smile before taking a small unnoticeable breath of air. â??Iâ??m Officer Hollowayâ?¦But you can call me Elliot for short, thereâ??s no need for formalities here. â?? he told him hoping Adrian would open up to him more. â??Would you mind answering some questions for me?â?

It was too soon to be asking him questions and Elliot knew itâ?¦ He was only asking to get the others off his back. â??During the incident did you happen to get a look at the manâ??s face?â? Elliot asked sure Adrian wouldnâ??t answer. â??If you donâ??t want to you donâ??t have to answer right now. This is just a standard procedure. Um, I could just give you my number and pick up from there when you feel well enough to talk. I think right now the best thing is for you to relax and take a rest at the hospital.â? He spoke. Hesitantly, the man reached forward placing a hand on the younger maleâ??s shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

 

[Midnight]

Adrian watched the cops talk for a little while, unable to speak, his throat was still in pain from the scream that he released, his attacker's last words to him going through his head over and over again, immediately before the cop had shown up to save him his attacker said that he would find him again. Adrian was mortified, the events of the time running through his head over and over again, while the police talked the boy stared blankly ahead, his eyes unblinking in a solid stare, shock was an unpleasant thing, the poor kid's belly still hurt, and his rear hurt even worse, he was bleeding where the man had fucked him. Adrian felt dirty, like filth had been wiped all over him, technically he was dirty, he had been thrown to the ground and was covered in the result.

The boy looked up at Elliot, fresh tears still in his eyes, he was humiliated, he was a boy, and he still got raped, violently, the fact that it was so violent also did not help the poor kid at all, he had a gun to his head, and he seemed perfectly willing to murder him after he was done, Elliot had saved his life, but Adrian was still scared for his life. Adrian looked up at officer Holloway when the man asked him if he would answer some questions and nodded. "I... Didn't, he had me... pressed into a wall" Adrian's trembling picked up noticeably as he recalled the event, trying to remember his face.

Adrian eventually shook his head "I don't want to go to the hospital, and I can't go home..." Adrian spoke with a trembling voice "I am so scared, he said he was going to kill me" Adrian reached out, pressing Gripping onto Elliot's sleeve "I don't want to be alone" Adrian grew quiet, his hold on Elliot's arm not fading as went back to his silence. He felt sick to his stomach and his insides still burned, most likely from the rapist's seed that was still in him, all he wanted to do was take a shower and sleep, but he had seen some guy following him from his house to work, the rapist probab,y knew where he lived. .

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Elliot was taken aback by Adrian's grip. He was unsure of what to do next. All the victims he met never acted like this toward him and he was simply baffled at what his next move should be. If Adrian didn't want to go home and he didn't want to go to the hospital, where did he want to go? There was nowhere else for him to go. As he looked down at the hand gripping his sleeve, his bluish-green eyes widened. Surely he didnâ??t expect to come home with him. Elliot didnâ??t think coming to a strangerâ??s house would be a very good idea. He wasnâ??t going to do anything bad to him or anything; Elliot just thought maybe Adrian should be somewhere, where people could meet his every need whatever it may be.

â??What to do, what to do?â? Elliot thought as he tapped his foot on the ground. â??Did he get a good look at the manâ??s face?â? One of the officers whispered into his ear. Elliot shook his head in silence. He gently removed Adrianâ??s hand from his sleeve as he stepped to the side. â??Maybe you should head home Ell, itâ??s pretty late we can take it from here.â? Elliot lowered his head. â??I-I dunno Darrelâ?¦ I mean you gonna make sure heâ??s not alone?â? he asked softly. â??Yeah weâ??ll do everything to make sure his recovery goes smoothly. â?? Elliot forced a smile looking up at the other cop. â??Well if anything goes wrong just contact me alright.â? Darrel nodded in response. Returning to Adrianâ??s side Elliot ran his fingers through his dark bangs.

â??I think the best thing for you is the hospital.â? He began as the paramedics came up behind him. He was weary of leaving Adrian under the protection of the others, but he couldn't change his decision now could he? The one thing he learned was not to get attached to the victims and to make sure they didn't get attached to him. â??Like I said theyâ??ll take great care of you. Youâ??ll be under twenty-four hour surveillance. And look if you feel the need for any further protection call the station and ask for me.â? With a smile he gently placed a hand on Adrianâ??s shoulder. â??Weâ??re going to take him away for further treatment now.â? Shaking his head he sighed. "No... I-I think I'll just escort him home." he just couldn't bare the thought of leaving him in anyone's care, he seemed to want him around badly. "Are you sure sir?" the woman asked. "Yes." with a nod she patted him on the shoulder before returning to the ambulance with the rest of her crew.

After taking more pictures and taking down a few more notes the police began to return to their squad cars. The paramedics left first the police following behind. Once the flashing lights disappeared into the night, Elliot looked down at Adrian. â??Whatâ??s your name?â? Elliot asked. Since they were going to be spending part of their night together he should know his name right?
