Blaine cringed as he sat in the booth next to Levi and listened to Officer Harris asking questions about what had happened. He still couldn't help but feel like if he had been there with Levi that none of this would have happened.

"Mr. Turner, could you please tell us what exactly happened this morning?" Officer Harris asked, pulling out a small tape recorder and set it on the table in front of Blaine and Levi.

"Well, Blaine had just left the house."

"Could you tell me approximately what time that was?"

"I don't know, probably about four thirty or so," Levi answered, feeling a sharp pain in his chest at the thought of how Blaine had almost walked out of his life.

"Okay, thank you. Did you need a glass of water or something before you continue?" Harris asked, motioning for a waitress. He had seen the look that had passed over Levi's face and knew that reliving the morning was going to be hard.

"Yes please," Levi said, his voice breaking before he went on. "About half an hour or so after Blaine left, the phone rang. I answered it and it was Blaine, he said that he was on his way home, the next thing I knew, the phone had gone dead and Christian was there. I turned around and Christian was standing there holding the phone cord in his hand."

The waitress soon showed up with a glass of water and set it in front of Levi. Picking it up, Levi took a small sip as he caught his breath. He hated having to go through this, but he knew that if he didn't that Christian would remain free.

"Anyways," Levi continued, "I backed away; heading towards the kitchen, Mark had already gone in there earlier. Christian went on to tell me how I was just Blaine's new little fuck toy and that Blaine didn't deserve to be happy. Christian followed me into the kitchen; he hadn't noticed yet that Mark was in there too. When his back was to him, Mark took the glass he was holding and tried to smash it over Christian's head, but something must have warned him, because Christian flew around and smashed his fist into Mark's face."

"Is that when you were knocked unconscious Mr. Wallace?" Harris asked, turning his attention towards Mark.

"Yeah, I couldn't tell you anything else, other than the next thing I remember is Blaine being there."

"Okay, go on," Harris said, turning back to Levi. "What happened after Mr. Carmichael knocked Mr. Turner unconscious?"

"Nothing really, he came towards me and punched me, the same way he had Mark, but unlike Mark, I didn't black out. I did fall to the floor and I distinctly remember him kicking me in the ribs as I laid there on the floor."

"Did Mr. Carmichael have a weapon of any type?"

"Other than his fists? I'm not sure, I wasn't in any condition to argue or fight much as he took me out of the house."

"Did he hurt you at any other time between the time you left the house and the time that the accident occurred?"

"No, he just kept my arm in a grip so that I couldn't escape. I don't know how fast he was going as he drove, but there was something in the road, I'm not sure what. He swerved to miss it and I saw my chance to get away. I tried to jerk my arm away from him, I didn't have a whole lot of strength, but it was enough to divert his attention and make the car go into the ditch. He had to have been still going at least forty miles an hour when he hit that ditch and the car flipped, and he hit his head on the steering wheel. He was knocked out and I climbed out through the window and made my way here, then I called Blaine."

"Could you describe Mr. Carmichael to us?" Harris asked.

"Probably about six foot or so, with bleached blonde hair. He has a goatee, but it's black. Couldn't tell you eye color," Levi said, only to be interrupted.

"Blue," Blaine said softly before his voice strengthened. "I didn't think of it before, but if you could get into his house, there's a picture of him that was taken a couple months ago."

"We'll get a warrant and go search the house, see if he has any weapons there or anything else to link him to the kidnapping. I think we have enough for now though, do you need us to take you to the hospital to be checked out?" Harris asked Levi.

"No, if I need to go then Blaine can take me. No offense officer, but I just want to go home," Levi said.

"We're going to go and see about getting a warrant to search Mr. Carmichael's residence. If we need any further information then we'll contact you."

"What will happen when you find him?" Blaine asked.

"We'll take him into custody. You and Mr. Turner would have to come down to the station to positively identify him."

"And if he comes after us again?" Mark said, his voice agitated.

"I doubt he will now that we've been contacted, but if he does, we'll have undercover officers keeping an eye on you. If he makes any contact with you, we'll know. We will also tap your phones so that if he calls we can perhaps trace the call and find out where he is holed up at."

"So is that everything?" Blaine asked, wanting nothing more than to take Levi home and make up for what had happened earlier in the day.

"For now, I think we have everything we need. We'll follow you to the house where we will have another officer waiting to keep surveillance in case he does come back. We'll also have someone over there tonight to tap the phone lines. Now, I need to tell you now, you need to behave as you normally would. Unless Christian is also watching the house, there is no way he could know that the phone is tapped or that you are under surveillance."

"Yeah, I get it," Blaine said, getting to his feet and helping both Mark and Levi out of the booth. "You're coming home with us," Blaine said to Mark, his tone making sure that there wouldn't be any argument.

"I'll come there for the rest the day and tonight," Mark said, "But, tomorrow, I am going to my own house."

"No, you're not," Blaine argued, "I want you to stay with us where we know it's at least relatively safe."

"Mr. Riley, if I can interrupt," Officer Harris said, stepping closer. "Since Mr. Wallace is a part of this, we will also be having his home watched. We don't want to take any chances, so he will be as safe as his own residence as he would be with you and Mr. Turner."

"You'll stay at the house tonight though?" Blaine questioned, his fears only partly alleviated.

"Yes, I'll stay with you guys tonight, but I may steal your watchdog when you aren't looking," Mark said, chuckling softly.

"Oh shit, Ruff!" Blaine said, his heart hammering in his chest. "I had completely forgotten him!"

"It's okay Blaine," Levi said, wrapping one arm around Blaine and squeezing lightly. "Ruff is fine; shortly after you left I put him back in his carrier. He wasn't out when Christian showed up."

"We better get home then," Blaine said, moving towards the front door of the diner. "He's going to need out desperately."

"Yeah, but I gotta tell you Blaine, I think he knew something was going on, because I could hear him barking and snarling."

Blaine silently shook his head as all three of them piled into Mark's truck, Levi in the middle. Within minutes they were on their way home with a patrol car following them. It wasn't until they were part way down the road that Blaine realized that they hadn't talked to the officers who had been on the accident scene. He quickly pulled over and put on his hazard lights and waited until Officer Harris came up to his window.

"Everything okay here?" He asked his gazing raking over each of the three men.

"Yeah, everything is fine; I just remembered that we were supposed to wait for the officer's from the accident. Do we need to go back?"

"No, I should have mentioned that, but Officer Lanning talked to them and we are just going to send them a copy of our police report. Since Mr. Turner went into so much detail regarding the accident we are able to do that."

"Okay, I just wanted to make sure before we got home."

"Okay, we'll follow you the rest the way and point out the surveillance team to you so that you know it's them, and then we're going to go work on getting that warrant."

"Okay, thanks," Blaine said, rolling the window back up and waiting until Officer Harris was back inside his patrol car before he turned off his hazard lights and went the rest of the way home.

In a hotel room, over a hundred miles away, Christian sat and thought back over the day. His plan would have worked out perfectly if Blaine's fuck toy hadn't caused him to run off the road. He didn't know how he was going to continue on his plan, but he knew he'd find a way. The cops couldn't keep Blaine and Levi under surveillance forever, and the second they stopped, Christian would be there.

Flopping down on the bed, Christian started flipping through the folder that was sitting next to him. Blaine's smiling face loomed up at him through each and every picture. He even had pictures of Blaine and Levi from the night before. His investigator had done a hell of a job getting any information that he could on both men.

He paged through until he came to the information that his investigator had found on Levi Turner. He had everything from the date he was born to his grades going through veterinary school. He found it interesting that one was able to get so much information on someone in such a short amount of time, it all boiled down to how much one was willing to pay to find out what they wanted to know. Now all he needed to know was what exactly was written in the police records, and he knew just how to find out. By morning he would have a copy of the entire record as well as any kind of surveillance that the cops had going on.

Picking up the phone, Christian quickly dialed in the number that he needed. It was good to have friends in high places.

"Hey, it's me."

"Whatcha need?" The voice on the other end answered, not bothering to take time for the pleasantries.

"There's going to be a police file coming in sometime today, I need a full copy of it. I need to know any type of surveillance that is being run as well as the names of any officers that are on the case, can you handle it?"

"Same fee as before?"

"Yeah, I also need to know what all my name is linked to, if they have any notes that aren't actually a part of the case file."

"You know that anything having to do with a case is in those files, if it gets put in the computer then I will have it. When do you need it by?"

"Tomorrow morning, can you have it by then?"

"Yeah, I should be able to. Meeting at the same place as usual?"

"Yeah, be there at nine tomorrow morning."

"I will be, just make sure you have my money," the voice said.

"I'll have the damn money," Christian said before hanging up. Everything was set, now he just had to wait for the information and then he would be able to come up with a new plan, and this one wouldn't fail.

"You're going down Blaine," Christian growled to the silent room.

Blaine woke up to the sound of a slight whimper coming from across the room. It took him a minute, be he finally remembered moving Ruff from the spare room into Levi's room. They had agreed that it would be best so that Ruff wouldn't bother Mark during the night. Plus, after everything that happened, Ruff would be like an early warning system, making it so that Blaine could sleep a bit more soundly.

Smiling down at where Levi was nestled against his chest, Blaine slowly disentangled himself and climbed out of bed and slipped on a pair of boxers. Making his way over to the kennel he opened the door and pulled the small pup into his arms. He crept slowly out of the room, not wanting to awaken Levi and made his way through the kitchen and out the back door. As soon as he stepped out the back door, both of Levi's dogs ran up to him, barking in greeting.

Blaine quickly set Ruff down and quieted the two other dogs, knowing that their barking would echo into the house and wake up Mark and Levi. Plus, it would wake up the entire neighborhood and Blaine didn't feel up to dealing with upset neighbors. He watched as all three dogs ran off to play. Just as he was beginning to feel the cold seeping under his skin, Blaine felt strong arms wrap around him.

"What are you doing out here?" Levi asked, whispering in Blaine's ear.

"The pup needed out, I didn't want to wake you," Blaine answered, turning in Levi's arms and pressing his lips lightly against Levi's.

"I woke up and you weren't there, I was worried."

"It was much warmer in that nice bed," Blaine joked, tipping his head and resting his forehead against Levi's own. "What say we grab the little guy and head back in there?"

"That sounds like a plan," Levi said, keeping one arm wrapped around Blaine's waist as he called the dogs to him. Levi smiled and swatted Blaine on the ass as he leaned over and picked Ruff up. Leading the way into the bedroom, Blaine quickly locked Ruff in his carrier before stripping out of his boxers and climbing under the covers, quickly followed by Levi.

"How you feeling babe?" Blaine asked, pulling Levi close and spooning around his back.

"I'm okay, not as sore as I was," Levi said softly, placing one hand over Blaine's arm before turning so that he could look up into Blaine's eyes.

"I'm glad, I was so worried about you Levi, the second I heart Christian's voice, it knocked home just how stupid I had been," Blaine said, hating himself all over again for what had happened to the man he loved.

"It wasn't your fault Blaine," Levi said as though he had read Blaine's mind.

"If I had been here," Blaine started, cutting himself off. "I should have been here."

"Yeah, you should have been, I'm not going to argue with you there, but I understand why you felt you had to leave. Blaine, there is no guarantee that you could have stopped what happened, so quit beating yourself up about it."

"I can't help it," Blaine said softly, tears in his voice. "I almost lost you Levi, and I didn't realize what I had until it was almost gone forever. I love you Levi," Blaine whispered the words for the first time, "more than I've ever loved anybody."

"And I love you babe," Levi whispered, his own voice clogging with emotion and he leaned over Blaine and captured his lips with his own.

All of the emotions that Blaine had felt throughout the previous day flooded through him and he wrapped his arms around Levi, pulling him tight against his body, increasing the pressure of his lips against Levi's. He didn't deserve someone like Levi, but he sure as hell wasn't going to complain.

Levi felt the passion building in him and pressed down against Blaine. A moan escaped his lips as he felt Blaine's hard, aching cock, rub against his matt of baby fine hair. Pulling away slowly, Levi pressed one last kiss to Blaine's lips before sliding slightly down his body, his lips and tongue making a trail down Blaine's neck and chest. Reaching the mushroom head of Blaine's aching prick, Levi laved the tip of it with his tongue, his excitement growing by the minute. Wrapping his lips around the head he raised his eyes and met Blaine's own, fiery with desire.

"Oh god babe," Blaine groaned as the warmth of Levi's mouth closed over him and pleasure shot through every vein in his body.

Encouraged by Blaine's throaty moans, Levi slid his lips lower, taking more of Blaine into his mouth. Sliding his hands up Blaine's knee and over his thigh, Levi let all of the love he had flow through his fingers in teasing, gentle, caresses. Sliding his mouth down lower, Levi took all of Blaine into his warm mouth, reveling in the feel of Blaine's shaft, throbbing against his tongue.

He moved his mouth slowly up, his tongue stroking the underside of Blaine's shaft as he moved up until just the tip remained between his moist lips. His lips under the crown, Levi twisted his lips and sucked softly, delighting in Blaine's reaction as his hips shot up off the bed, searching for more of the pleasure that spread through him.

Blaine knew that he wouldn't last long under Levi's gentle ministrations and it took everything he had in him to reach down and pull his lovers head away from him. The feelings that went through him whenever Levi's lips touched his body were exquisite, but he didn't want to be the only one on the receiving end.

Reaching over into the nightstand, Blaine pulled out the string of condoms and tore one off, laying it on top of the small nightstand before grabbing a tube of KY Jelly. "I want," he whispered, leaning over and pressing teasing kisses against Levi's lips, "to be inside you." Blaine held his weight on his arms as he pulled back and looked into Levi's eyes, searching for an answer. Seeing the fire that came into Levi's eyes at his words, Blaine ran one hand slowly up his side, his touch light and fleeting.

"Oh god," Levi muttered, closing his eyes as he felt Blaine's fingers dance along his skin. He had wanted to feel Blaine in him for what seemed like an eternity and his excitement grew to new lengths as he realized that his desire was about to be fulfilled.

Wanting to make this as special for Levi as he could, Blaine slowed the pace down. Sitting so that he was straddling Levi's hips, Blaine slid his hands slowly up the sides of Levi's body and down his arms. Grasping both of Levi's wrists in his own, Blaine pulled his hands up by his head, holding them in place as he ground slowly and methodically against Levi. He looked deeply into Levi's eyes and was encouraged by the trust that shown back at him. Maneuvering his hands so that he grasped both of Levi's in one of his own, Blaine took his free hand and ran the back of it teasingly against Levi's neck before moving down, the smattering of hair on the back of his hand tickling Levi's sensitive skin.

"Please Blaine," Levi whimpered, arching his body, wanting more of Blaine's touch.

"Patience baby," Blaine said softly, moving his hand down to Levi's pectoral, the back of his hand brushing lightly over the hard nub of one of Levi's nipples. Hearing Levi's intake of breath, Blaine switched his attention to his other nipple. As Levi writhed beneath him in pleasure, Blaine slid his hand lower, his caress so light that Levi had to wonder if he had really felt it. Reaching Levi's erection, Blaine wrapped his hand around the pulsating flesh and squeezed lightly, causing a tiny pearl of moisture to leak out of the tip.

"Please baby," Levi whispered, his body tingling from Blaine's touch. "I need you."

Unable to hold back any longer, Blaine released Levi's hands and reached over, grabbing the tube of jelly and the condom from where he'd set them. Ripping the packet open, Blaine quickly slid the latex over his aching shaft. Pushing Levi's legs up, Blaine used his knees to hold him in place and reached over and grabbed the lube. Twisting the cap off, he squeezed a small amount on his fingers and rubbed them together to warm the jelly up. Sliding his hand down to Levi's ass, Blaine lightly stroked around Levi's rosebud, enjoying the slight whimper that came forth from between Levi's lips.

Placing another dollop of gel on his fingers, Blaine slid his index finger slowly inside of Levi, twisting slightly as he slid in deeper. Blaine slowly started moving his finger in and out, twisting his hand and causing Levi to moan in pleasure. Within moments he added a second finger and then a third, moving his fingers apart to loosed Levi up enough to take his cock. When Levi was pushing against his hand, Blaine withdrew his fingers and quickly coated his cock with the slimy gel. Placing the head of his cock against Levi's opening, Blaine pushed in slowly, his hands cradling Levi's thighs as he watched Levi's face for any discomfort. Despite the desire to start thrusting, Blaine forced his body to remain still, giving Levi the chance to get accustomed to the feel of his penetration.

Blaine rubbed his hands lightly over Levi's hips as he waited for any sign that it was okay for him to move. Within moments, he felt Levi pushing back against him and slowly pushed in. Blaine felt as though he could have shot right then, it felt like his cock was in a vice as he pressed in deeper, the walls of Levi's ass closing around him. Seating himself completely in Levi, Blaine's entire body went rigid from the effort to contain himself. He couldn't remember ever feeling this at home in his entire life.

"Oh good god," Levi moaned as he felt Blaine slide the rest of the way in him. He couldn't ever remember feeling so full. Pressing against Blaine, he tried to will him to move, wanting to feel the friction of Blaine sliding in and out of his body.

His sensitivity finally dying down, Blaine pulled slowly back, stopping just before the head of his dick popped out of Levi. Locking eyes with Levi, Blaine pressed slowly back in, arching his back slightly to get deeper, searching for that evasive button that would cause pleasure to shoot through every nerve in Levi's body. He knew that he had found it when Levi's breath hitched and his body arched up off the bed, taking Blaine in even deeper.

Blaine continued moving slowly in Levi, making sure to hit Levi's prostrate as much as possible. He could feel himself reaching the point of no return and reached down, grasping Levi's erection in his fist and using Levi's own pearly essence to stroke Levi's throbbing member.

Blaine's hand kept pace with his thrusts and the combination of the stabs against his prostate and the strokes of Blaine's hand, Levi soon felt his balls pull up close to his body. He didn't want it to be over yet, but there was nothing that he could do to stop it as he felt his seed move up his cock.

"Oh god," he moaned, just as the first spurts flew from the tip of his cock, landing on his belly and causing his ass to contract around Blaine.

The sight of Levi going over the edge was the final straw for Blaine and he thrust deep as his balls drew up and the first stream of come shot out of his dick and into the condom. Blaine couldn't stop the whimper that escaped from his lips at the site of Levi's climax and the feel of his own seed as it shot from his body. Blaine didn't know how many times he shot when he finally felt himself slowly drift down from his peak. His movements slowed until he eventually pulled out of Levi, completely and utterly spent.

"Oh god babe," Levi muttered, reaching up and pulling Blaine's body down so that he could press a gentle kiss to his lovers lips. Wrapping his arms around Blaine, Levi rolled so that they were both on their side, facing each other. Levi's hand moved up and ran idly over Blaine's side as the contentment overtook him. "I love you babe," Levi whispered, smiling softly up at Levi.

"I love you too baby," Blaine whispered as he captured Levi's lips in another kiss before climbing out of the bed and slipping a robe on, padding his way into the bathroom where he quickly got rid of the come filled condom. Wetting a washcloth with warm water he went back to the bedroom and lovingly cleaned the mess from Levi's chest. Blaine threw the washcloth into the hamper before crawling back onto the bed and nestling close to Levi, the activities of the past couple of days catching up to him and causing him to doze off, wrapped securely in his lover's arms.
