The Runt.

Chapter 19.

By: Wolfie Steel.

A month has now passed since Bill Jameson and his team of builders had begun the task of both extending the bar and building the new place for the street kids, in that time Tyler has officially been given a new family, it was quite a battle that was fought between me, Rion and the courts, there have been many court home visits to make sure that Tyler will have a solid and loving home life.

Finally, three days ago I get the letter that confirms that Tyler can now be called Tyler Lane, as for the here and now, well all I can say is this very soon in like two days I will be getting suited and booted, there will be a Rolls Royce parked in my driveway at home, and the same for Rion at his place, both with suited drivers.

Yes, in two days time Rion and me make our nervous way to the Registry Office, where we will make our vows to each other and become a happy civil partnership, I would actually prefer to call it getting married but unfortunately the Christian Faith won't allow it, no matter what I have to call it though it basically means the same, I will be married to Rion.

It is still two days away but already the butterflies within my stomach just won't quit, every time I do something to prepare for the ceremony be it write the invites, call the caterers, even this morning when I took my suit to the dry cleaners I couldn't help but get a little nervous.

There is one thing that helps calm me down each time, and that is when I look deep into Rion's loving eyes, I still see the same love that I saw when I first met him except now it is so much stronger.

The new place for the street kids is all but finished; just one final thing will complete the build, the kids themselves. I have hired a number of furs to run the home, all of the new staff have had their records rigorously checked, after all, one thing I don't want to do is allow the kids to come off the street and out of danger straight into a home where there is even more danger.

Unfortunately though as big as the place is there is only so much room for the kids, which is why for those kids of the legal age of 18 I will be employing them to work in the bar. Dillon has agreed to train the new kids on how to cook and how to keep a clean place. My injuries have now all but healed though I still walk with a limp.

I stand behind the bar and watch as the finishing touches to the upgrade are completed, I have sunk nearly three-quarters of a million pounds into the upgrade and I can certainly see that my money has been well spent, Changing Lanes have a private room where they can work on their new material, as for Lola as well as being the head bartender she is now in charge of organising events at the club, the first of which will be a wedding party.

<><><><><><><><>

I walk out to where the new kids home stands and admire the tasteful decor and the huge size of the place, I walk inside and find that apart from a couple of last minute glitches, the place is ready to open its doors. As I wonder around the place my cell phone rings, it's Dillon at the bar.

"Sonny, it seems that we have our first new visitor to the home, and sir he looks pretty beaten up"

I assure Dillon that I'm on my way and quickly I bolt from the house as fast as my injury will allow. I arrive back at the bar to find a young Doberman, no more than 12 years old, cowering behind the entrance door of the bar. Dillon has already done his best to keep folks away from the boy so that he doesn't get spooked.

I slowly and softly make my way towards the boy, but I see him about to make a run for it so I stop. It's at this point that an idea comes to my mind, I have already successfully turned one youngster's life around, and maybe that youngster can help this young Doberman. Tyler it seems can read my mind, as right on cue he appears.

"Dad, don't worry, I got this one, just make sure that the guys are ready at the house, and tell them they are going to need some bandages and stuff"

I stand there amazed, here is my newly adopted son Tyler, just approaching his eleventh birthday, and yet he is taking on a task that would be a challenge to a fully grown adult.

Tyler pulls a ball from his jacket pocket and starts bouncing it against a wall, at first there is no reaction from the Doberman, then Tyler misses a shot supposedly accidentally, the ball rolls to the Doberman's side. Again at first nothing, no movement or anything, then suddenly the youngster's paw slowly begins to creep towards the ball.

Eventually, the Doberman is holding the ball in his paw, and then he holds his paw out to give Tyler the ball back. Tyler slowly makes his way towards the youngster showing no signs of threat and keeping his movements slow, smooth and friendly.

It's not long before Tyler is sitting next to the boy, and then the cherry on the cake, Tyler begins to talk to the Doberman.

"Hey bro, my name is Tyler Lane and I want to be your friend"

Tyler opens his arms as wide as he can, still keeping himself as none threatening as possible, then he continues.

"C'mon bro at some point everyone needs a hug, and I can tell that you need one right now"

Oh, those so simple words, simple yet effective, the young Doberman's muzzle begins to quiver and tears begin to well up in his bloodshot eyes, and suddenly it's all over, the Doberman throws his body into Tyler's hug and begins to cry his eyes out.

After five minutes of Tyler just soothing the young boy's nerves, he manages to get him to stand and then slowly leads the boy to where I'm standing, my own tears are threatening to fall, tears of pride for my son. Rion is stood behind the bar with his muzzle agape at the sight that he is witnessing. I mimic Tyler's behaviour and slowly kneel down in front of the boy and speak softly to him.

"You have no need to worry, my name is Sonny Lane, and I'm Tyler's very proud father. Now I know that you are scared and that you don't know which way to turn, but there is no one here that will hurt you, in fact, we will do everything to help you through this, now what is your name, my friend?"

At first, there is nothing but the sound of the youngster's teeth chattering, then suddenly he begins to utter his name.

"M...my n..name is Vincent Briggs s...sir"

At last, the first of the boy's natural defences are giving way, so I continue.

"Ok, would you prefer to be called Vincent, Vince, Vinny or even Vin?"

Again there is a short silence until suddenly he replies.

"My folks used to call me V...Vinny sir"

Defence number two down.

"Ok Vinny, well first things first, I'm no sir, call me Sonny everyone else does, now then how about I ask Uncle Dillon over behind the bar to rustle up some food and something to drink for you and me and Tyler, then you can tell me what happened, if you want to that is"

The young pup gently nods his head and I look up towards Dillon who instantly knows the sign and heads into the kitchen to begin the food preparation, Rion heads off to the office and then comes back with a medium sized soft fluffy blanket. Tyler takes the blanket from Rion's paws and then gently wraps it around Vinny's body.

Minutes later Dillon calls the three of us in to eat, I lead the way with Tyler gently holding Vinny's paw they both follow me in. Once inside the dining room Vinny's eyes go wide as dinner plates as he sees the mountain of food and drink that Dillon has prepared, Vinny hangs his head.

"Erm sir, I mean Sonny, I can't eat any food, I have no money to pay for it"

I'm about to make my reply when Dillon stops me and speaks up.

"Vinny my friend, when you live here at home, food and drink is free, in fact, you will have to pay nothing for anything, now sit at the table and eat and drink as much as you need"

Vinny's stub tail begins to wag a little, defence three almost down, Tyler leads the young Doberman to the table and they both sit, Tyler being Tyler he dives right into his food, which catches young Vinny off guard at first, but soon he is delving into the mountain of food as fast as Tyler, I then join them and begin to tuck in too.

As we eat I ask Vinny if he would like to talk about what has happened to him, to my surprise he nods and clears his muzzle before he speaks.

"My folks kicked me out three years ago because you see I got into a fight at school because I was being picked on for being....... gay. I got shoved from one foster family to another and then finally two months ago I escaped from my final abusive foster family. Two weeks ago I heard a whisper on the streets that there was a new place opening up that was to promise to help kids like me, at first I wasn't going to come, but then I started getting guys approaching me and trying to get me to do bad things, so that's when I decided to give this place a try"

Vinny continues with his food and I look at Tyler who has a look of disgust on his muzzle, he is also quietly growling and I know that it is a growl that says that he knows what Vinny has been through.

Once the plates are clear Tyler speaks up.

"Dad, can I take Vinny to my room upstairs and play on my PS3 with him please?"

I nod quietly and the two boys dash off to Tyler's room, with the coast now clear Rion begins to growl loudly.

"God damn those perverts, it's just like looking at Tyler all over again, they are both pure innocents in life both with a hand of cards, but the hands that they have been dealt hell even a novice poker player would dump the hands, but I will say this though, Tyler is a credit to you honey, I watched as awestruck as you were when Tyler took charge of Vinny, I mean for fuck sake Vinny is I'm guessing at least a year older than Tyler, and the muscle tone that he has, I mean geez even I wouldn't go up against the lad, but Tyler was fearless, he could see that Vinny needed a friend, and so he gave him one"

A lump forms in my throat as Rion's words of pride flow from his muzzle. After an hour's play Tyler and Vinny come back in to see me, Tyler speaks.

"Dad, I'm going to take Vinny over to the house, he's tired and he needs his cuts healed"

I softly nod towards my son and they both head off in the direction of the house. Once both boys are out of earshot Rion lets out the growl that has been building up inside him since hearing Vinny's story.

"My god Sonny, what kind of a town allows kids like Vinny and Tyler to be preyed upon and does fuck all about it? If it wasn't for you hun Tyler would most certainly be dead, and judging by the way Vinny looks, he wouldn't be long of this earth either, these kids have got to be taught how to look after themselves, and I don't just mean with regard to cooking and cleaning"

I've never seen Rion get so passionate before, in the time that I have known him he has rarely used such strong language. I put my paw on my Husger's shoulder and gently squeeze it.

"Hun, I don't intend to let the filth on the streets prey on the innocent kids any longer than is necessary, if needs be I will go out onto the streets myself, handing out cards to inform the kids that there is a safe place for them to stay, but I will also dress up like one of the kids, and then we'll see how many perverts get away with trying me out"

To say that Rion was dead against this idea would be the understatement of the century, but he went along with it on the condition that I surround myself with inconspicuous protection, namely him, Dillon, Ryan, Matt, Major Palio and Commander Jones.

I placed a call to Bill Jameson to tell him of our plan, again he was none too impressed with the idea but he agreed and arranged for a number of plain clothed police officers to be on hand.

<><><><><><><><>

It is now 7.30 pm and we all prepare for the sting. Vinny leads me to one of the worst places for the depraved attacks, an alleyway where the only light is that of the partially covered moon, I'm wearing a pair of ripped, tight jeans and a badly torn blue shirt. I grab a cardboard box and settle down for the night whilst Rion takes Vinny to the safety of his truck.

Rion locks his truck so that Vinny will remain safe and then heads back to his waiting position, between my guys and the police, the alleyway is surrounded and yet no one can be seen. I guess I have been there about an hour and a half when I notice a figure entering the alleyway, just by the guy's movements I can tell that he is up to no good.

As he approaches I can see that the guy is a large White Tiger, the Tiger speaks softly to me.

"Hey there my precious one, it's a bit too cold out here for someone like you. I tell ya what, if you will do things for me, I will give you free room and board"

I play my part and reply in my best kid's voice possible.

"W...What sort of things sir?"

The Tiger lets out a disgusting growl and giggle.

"Aww come on boy, don't tell me that a cute kid like you is so innocent that he doesn't know what I want?"

Again I act as if I don't know what he wants.

"Boy, I'm gonna use your tight boy butt for my own pleasure, and you are gonna let me because I'm offering you a roof and food"

Out of the corner of my eye I see my guys making their move to seal off the alleyway, I stand up as if to go with the guy, I stand in front of him and lean forward to kiss his muzzle, but instead of kissing him, I bring my knee up to his groin hard and fast.

The Tiger falls to his knees and the posse move in to finish the job, I begin to shake and my knees begin to buckle, Rion and Major Palio quickly rush to my aid and hold me up, but I lean forward and throw up. Rion gently lifts my head up and then looks deep into my eyes.

"Sonny, you did good hun, but your days of being a vigilante are over, you are a lover, not a fighter, the police have enough evidence to set up patrols of the town, now I'm going to take you home where you are going to enjoy a long hot shower then you will be going to bed, and I don't want any argument from you"

Rion begins to lead me away but we are stopped by both the Police Chief and Bill Jameson, Bill speaks to me.

"Mr. Sonny Lane, what you have done here tonight is something that no one else has managed to do; you have opened the eyes to both me and the Police Department. The homeless kids of this town owe you a huge debt"

The bull now steps aside and allows Rion to walk me back to his truck.

"Right hun, first we will drop Vinny off at the home, then we'll get Tyler into the truck and head back to the mansion, then you will get a shower and a well-earned rest"

Still visibly shaken, I sit in the back of Rion's truck as he drives us back to the bar, once we arrive I slowly walk inside with Rion and Vinny, everyone in the bar stares at me, suddenly from way back in the crowd there is the sound of applause from one guy, that one guy is none other than the Doberman Luther Caines.

With Luther clapping as loud as he can others join in and within minutes the bar is ringing out with the sound of applause and whistles. Rion takes to the stage and speaks into the microphone.

"Tonight the bar will remain open until closing time, but for obvious reasons me and the owner Mr. Sonny Lane will not stay on. I would like to thank you all on Sonny's behalf for the rousing applause that you have given him, in truth he did what he felt he had to do and as a result a paedophile is now in custody and the police presence in the seedy areas of town will increase, enjoy the rest of the evening"

With that Rion steps down from the stage, whilst he is walking back to me Luther comes up to me and places his thick set paw gently on my shoulder.

"Sonny, that day when you came to my apartment with Mason, I must admit that I saw you as nothing more than a weakling that had attached himself to the thought of money, sure enough you ended up with most of the money from Mason's estate, but instead of blowing it all on things that you didn't really need, you put the money to good use. That brings us to today, you went out there and walked down that dark alleyway and crawled into a cardboard box, not for some strange and kinky sexual game, but to get first-paw experience of what life is like for kids like Vinny and Tyler"

A lump begins to form in my throat as Luther continues.

"You Sonny Lane have not only managed to get one of the worst paedophiles off the streets. But you have also managed to open the eyes of the police department so much so that they are increasing their presence around the known seedy areas of town. I'm happy to report though that I have seen the error of my ways, you are not the weakling that I once thought, and I offer you my services when it comes to looking after the kids"

I smile weakly and nod my head gently just as Rion arrives at my side. Rion turns to Dillon and shouts over the noise of the music.

"Hey Dillon, do me a favour and take Vinny back to the house and then round up Tyler for me, then we'll head home for the rest of the night"

Dillon walks over to the Doberman and puts a gentle caring arm around his neck.

"C'mon Vinny, let's get you into your new safe haven"

The shaking Doberman looks back at me with an unsure look on his muzzle that is until I nod my head again, he then allows Dillon to lead him back to his new home. After five minutes Dillon returns with Tyler hot on his tail, at the sight of me Tyler rushes towards me crying, I open my arms and take him into a deep and caring hug.

"Dad, I thought I had lost you, I can't lose another father"

With Tyler still hugging me I slowly pick him up so that he can rest his chin on my shoulder, I carry him out to the truck with Rion by my side and I softly speak to Tyler.

"Son, there is no way that either Rion or I will ever leave you, I make you this promise and I fully intend to keep it"

<><><><><><><><><><><>

I spend the following day just resting and sharing life with my new family, we all rediscover the meaning of the word fun as we laugh and play outside in the mansion's vast rear garden, from swimming in the heated pool to playing a game of football. At lunch, we have a picnic on the lawn after which a session of Tyler tickling breaks out, tears of laughter flow from the little fox kits eyes as he squirms and tries to catch his breath.

The day comes to an end with a delivered pizza and a DVD. Once the DVD is over Rion stands from his seat and speaks.

"Well hun, if we want to do this right, I'm going to head back to my place for the rest of the night and through tomorrow, because at 10 am on Saturday I have a date at the registry office, the most important date of my life where I take the paw of the Wolf of my dreams and become his legal partner"

I blush as I realise that Rion is going to the trouble of keeping the tradition of not seeing the bride before the wedding just for me. I walk him to the door and kiss him lightly on the cheek, he then heads out to his truck and disappears down the driveway towards his own soon to be sold apartment.
