what happened?” asked Jamie terrified.
    “Someone shot up the diner and killed four people inside,” she said. I was shot in the arm, but I heard it happened here too so I rushed over.” She turned to Chris and said, “We could use some more help at the diner if you can spare it.”
    Chris nodded and pulled his phone out and called the State Police. He then sent Deputy Clark over to the diner as Jamie and his mother were rushed off in an ambulance with the promise from Chris that he would follow as soon as he had finished up at the bar and the diner.

    Jamie paced back and forth in the waiting room as his mother’s arm was operated on. He was still wearing the clothes covered in Jim’s blood and brain matter when Chris came in with a few evidence bags and a fresh pair of clothes for him. Chris walked up to the nurse’s desk and asked for a private room where he could get Jamie changed and get the clothing into evidence, preferably one with a shower so Jamie could clean up.
    Jamie followed Chris into the room the nurse showed them to and Chris shut the door and leaned against it heavily staring at Jamie with fear in his eyes. Jamie started to peel off his clothes but Chris stopped him and said, “I need to do this. I have to preserve any evidence that might provide any clues.”
    Jamie nodded and stood there while Chris pulled on a pair of latex gloves and stripped Jamie down before shoving him into the shower. When Jamie was done, he stepped out of the shower and into a towel being held by Chris who wrapped him up in it and helped him dry off.
    Chris said, “This really isn’t the time or place, but I wanted to let you know, I found out what happened to the letters I have been writing to you over the years.”
    Jamie turned around and faced Chris and said, “I really don’t care Chris. I just really don’t care anymore. You…” Here he halted seeing the look on Chris’s face and hurried to reassure him and said, “You have always loved me and I have always loved you. Those letters don’t matter anymore. Maybe it is the adrenaline or the fear speaking, but I want you. I want you in my life, the way you talked about two weeks ago. I want you as my partner, my lover, my husband, whatever. I don’t care what you call it, I want you there. Can you do that for me?”
    Chris reached out and grabbed a naked, still partially wet Jamie and pulled him to his body all but crushing the other man against him. “Whatever you want Jamie, it’s yours. I am yours. Do you understand that? I have always been yours, and will forevermore be yours.” He then brought their lips together in a punishing kiss and it was only when someone knocked on the door that he pulled back, and stared into his eyes. “What is it?” he called out.
    The nurse who had shown them to the room said, “Jamie’s mother is out of surgery now and the doctor said she can receive visitors.”
    Jamie said, “Thank you!”
    They waited until she had walked away from the door before Jamie turned back into Chris and his heated crushing embrace and said, “I love you Chris Anderson. Always have and always will. Now, get me to my mother.”
    Chris groaned and said, “Man this is not fair. You are going to have to give me a minute you know. You standing here in my arms completely naked and pressed against me has caused me some difficulties. Get dressed while I go splash some cold water on my face.”
    As he walked away Jamie reached out and grabbed his ass and squeezed it forcing Chris to stop and growl. Then Chris resumed his forward momentum to the sink so he could splash some cold water on his face while Jamie got dressed.
    When he was fully dressed and Chris had dried his face off, the two left the room. Chris deposited the evidence bags with Deputy Smith who was waiting for them and instructed him to get them back to the precinct. With that done they followed the nurse down the hall and through a set of doors. Jamie was given a visitor badge
