Chapter Fourteen
Scylla and Charybdis
We'd all just gone in the house. I made the `be quiet' sign with my finger to my lips and collected all their phones and deposited them in Danny's room next to the speaker playing his paused video game soundtrack on loop. I closed his door and went back to the kitchen. We proceeded to tell the Vargellas everything...in detail. Then Grexl told Kris about his `plan'.
"Excuse my language, cover your ears Danny...absolutely fucking NO! NO...WAY!!" Kris said. I don't think I'd ever him or Kathy curse before. "Why would you even think about getting involved with Zarvek?" Kris asked angrily. Grexl went through his thought process for Kris.
"But...Zarvek?" Kris said, "There's got to be some other way."
"You make it sound like this Uncle Zarvek is some kind of monster, dad" Danny said.
"A living...breathing...Quantarg on two legs" Kris said. Mark was confused, I figured he'd never heard of the Quantarg. "I'll tell you later" I told him.
"Zarvek the Laxar'vard" Kris said with a twist of disgust in his voice. From a later conversation with Grexl, the closest translation would be something like `King of or Master of the dregs of society". Laxar was a word very steeped full of meanings -- none of them good.
"Even if he agreed, there would be a high price" Kris said, "You would be in his debt for doing you such a great favor."
"You really think he'd be that way with family, Kris?" Grexl asked, "We wouldn't be just some random client of his? And, you know he would feel for Kreg and Mark, he is as...parak'ta...as we are, even though he's supposedly on the down low."
"No, what Zarvek is, we would not call gay" Kris said, shooting a look at his brother.
"The stories about kris'kit'ka are just rumors" Grexl said, "dirty rumors spread by his enemies."
"What does kris'kit'ka mean?" Danny interrupted.
"You know, son, I think you need to go play your game. You're done eating, yes?" Kris said.
"Yes, sir" Danny said and made his way back to his room.
"Couldn't we at least feel him out, see what his terms would be to make all this investigation just...go away?" Kris asked.
"Once he knows about it, what's to stop him from blackmailing them?" Kris asked.
"One thing is they can't access any of the money without having the U.S.S.L. agents swarming all over them. Hard to blackmail for money they can't touch" Kris said.
"I suggest we all think long and hard about this" Kris said, "Promise me you won't call him without all of us agreeing first" he said to Kris.
"Okay, but I still think it's the best solution" Grexl said. Mark laid $30 on the table. "To help with dinner..." he said. Kathy pushed it back to him and went to refill her water. Mark put it in Kris's hand, "I insist." Kris pocketed the money.
"Danny, bring us our phones!" he shouted down the hallway. Danny came back with the devices, sat them on the table and went back to his game.
"It's late, I guess we better get back" Mark said. Grexl nodded and they took off. A few minutes later me and Rav went back upstairs.
"Kris'kit'ka?" I said in the form of a question.
"Umm...let's see...a person who does stuff with kids...wait a minute, let me parse it...kit is like adolescent or young teens...I think" Rav said. I grimaced at that.
"Speaking of...I would really like to molest you about now" Rav said.
"You can't molest somebody who's willing and wanting" I told him, smiling.
He walked over and started unbuttoning my shirt as I unfastened his belt and pulled it out and tossed it. It had become a joke between us that he was going to have to start wearing suspenders because he could never find where I threw his belt. He pulled my shirt off and threw it on the bed, pulling me with him toward the door so he could flip the lock. He pushed his muzzle to mine and wrapped his tongue around my own, not breaking the kiss until I made him lift his arms to get his tee shirt off. As soon as I dropped the shirt, he pulled me back to him and wrapped around me like a furry blanket. The warmth, the feel of his musculature, his trademark musk, had both my head on fire. I was unconsciously dry humping him as his tongue was seeking out my tonsils. I pulled the at the waistband of his jeans until the button popped loose and reached around and unsnapped the tailband, letting his big, bushy tail loose, well, at least until I caught the base of it in my paw and gripped it the way had done mine. I held it tight and pulled back and forth on it as if masturbating it. It wasn't as effective on him, but there was a little response -- we all have different erogenous zones I suppose. He pulled his zipper down and shimmied the jeans down his leg while I pulled his tail out of the tail hole in his boxer briefs. My paw went back to the base of his tail and one finger gently poked at his pucker, lightly tracing it like reading braille. Rav's hands were all over me, rubbing up and down my back, his fingers dipping just inside my underwear. He unbuttoned and unzipped my pants and pushed them down. We broke long enough for both of us to step out of our discarded clothes and move onto the bed. We lay on our sides, facing one another, just kissing and caressing each other, taking our time.
Rav's paw finally found my tail and pulled it out of the tail hole in my briefs before giving me the same treatment as we'd both come to love. His kisses had moved from my mouth to my right ear. He held it up with one hand and planted little kissed all the way from the tip to the side of my face, then downward landing on my neck for a while. I felt one if his fingers gently massaging my rear entry point. I wet a couple of fingers and put the saliva on my hole then pulled his hand back over. When he pushed against me, I backed into him and sunk the digit into me about an inch or more. He rolled it around, pulling and stretching, before I heard him spit and then add a second finger. I pulled down on the waistband of his boxer briefs, giggling as they caught on his extremely hard pole and made it snap against his stomach as they cleared the area. He stopped long enough to pull them the rest of the way down and kick them off into the floor. Now that it was available, I took his cock in both paws and stroked it a few times, then split up my fondling between one hand stroking and the other rolling his big balls around in their velvet pouch. Rav stopped again to remove the last offending garment from me and throw my briefs toward where he'd kicked his off.
I almost lost my breath when his fingers dove back inside me, and he grabbed and pulled my sensitive tail up at the same time. My dick lurched and a little stream of clear fluid dripped down toward my pubic patch. Rav's hand quickly scooped the stuff up and transferred it to his work area. As soon as he was done, he moved down in the bed and, holding my tail up out of the way with his left hand, he started rimming me. I was already kind of loosening, so his tongue went inside me with no problem. I could feel it running circles inside me as if he was licking an ice cream cone or something. I began squirming, I couldn't be still. I was alternately moving my hips back and forth or opening and closing my legs -- shaking all over. I was going to have to wash sheets again, as his dedicated work behind me was causing me to have a constant flow, creating a big wet spot on the sheets below me. Right now, I couldn't find any fucks to give about it as my hips were being lifted up and I was being placed on my knees. Rav moved back and my hole felt very cold for a few seconds. He reached under me and pulled away another substantial dollop of precum and rubbed it onto my gaping hole, then crawled up close to me and began to sink himself slowly into me non-stop until I could feel his pelvis against my butt. He lay himself down onto my back, the way he knows I like, and ran his arms under mine, palms up, and grabbed my shoulders as he began to churn my colon. He pulled on his arms, bringing my body a little higher and his cock started massaging my prostate over and over. I became aware that I was making some weird, funny little squeaking noises. The noises seemed to be revving him up even more. I could feel his cock swelling even more inside my ass. Suddenly, he stiffened and jammed himself to the hilt inside me and I could feel the throbbing of his cock as he unloaded inside me. He went mostly limp on my back for a minute breathing heavily in my ear, then flipped us over onto the bed. He landed on his back and pulled his legs up to his chest, giving me a tired grin. I got the lube from the nightstand and working some into him and with a minimal amount of prep, I entered him. He yelped, sucked in a breath, and grimaced when I entered him, but his discomfort seemed to only last a few seconds. He locked his dilated eyes with mine, nodded and I began thrusting. It only took me about three minutes to cum. I was so wound up from his lovemaking, I was blasting before I knew what was happening. I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. I came so hard I was seeing stars. Rav let his legs down and collapsed on top of him, my mouth seeking his again. We fell asleep like that -- me on top of him with our still semi-hard penises lying next to each other.
I woke up needing to piss like crazy. I rolled over and put my feet on the floor and felt the pull of fur as I got up. I looked around at the cum spot on the bed with my fur stuck in it before I made a run for the bathroom. I was hard again and having trouble getting started. Rav walked in and stood beside me, shoulders touching, and let his flow loose. As soon as I heard his piss hitting the water my own bladder released and we made a big, bubby, yellow bowl full. I flushed and he pulled me into the shower once he'd gotten the water warm. We washed each other, dried off and I stripped the bed again and threw the cummy sheets (and mattress cover) into the hamper. Rav helped me put on clean bedding.
We still had a little bit before I we had to leave so I searched the internet for information on this Zarvek guy. It didn't take much of a search. Lots of hits popped up, mostly about his charities, his successful business, etc. -- from what could be gleaned from the internet Zarvek Gurryx was a super outstanding citizen. I showed Ravan the stuff I'd found. He snorted.
"Look up Brux'tova Kargellix, then look at personal life information" he said. I did that and the first article that came up was about the installation of Brux'tova Kargellix as head of the Restarran government justice department. When I scrolled down to the personal life section the article said that two years ago Kargellix entered into a domestic partnership with Zarvek Gurryx. So `Uncle Zarvek' was basically the Vanterran equivalent of `married' to the chief just officer of Restarra.
"So, he can do whatever he wants to and..." I started.
"...and his `wife' will not prosecute him" Ravan finished.
"Wait a minute...I thought women were property on Vanterra? How can a woman be in a position like that?" I asked.
"Read it again" Rav said, "paying close attention to the term installation."
"Okay, but why would a male want to install a female in that position knowing how the Vanterran's feel about women's rights?" I pushed.
"Like dad told you, all Vanterran's don't share the same beliefs. The Restarran `head vard' so to speak, is very liberal. He's causing a huge divide among the population. It's not going to help his cause that his candidate is joined to Zarvek. He may get ousted over the whole affair" he said.
"So, if we want this dubious plan to work, we have to get to Zarvek and get him to do it before the whole government changes hands. That's what I'm hearing" I told Rav.
"What you aren't getting through your dense skull is that Uncle Zarvek doesn't do anything without a price -- you heard them downstairs" he said angrily. "Come on, we need to get going" he snipped.
I pulled on my heavy coat since there was supposed to be a cold front coming in later and we went down for breakfast. Kathy left early, she had a full day ahead -- five cases on her docket to seat juries for -- so Kris had made a big pot of oatmeal. It was cold enough outside that oatmeal and coffee was very good. I tried to ask him more about Zarvek, but he adamantly refused to talk about it, mumbling something about the uninitiated playing with fire. If I know Mark, and I do know him very well, he is pressuring Grexl right now about trying this scheme. I finished my coffee and put our bowls and cups in the sink, and we took off for town. Ravan dropped me at the bookstore, and he went on to his job.
"Pick you up at six" he said. No goodbye kiss. That left me kind of miffed.
"When you get on the clock, come see me" Evan said as I headed to the back. I nodded in his direction.
I punched in and put on my name tag, then went back out to find him. He was pushing a cart filled with boxes, stocking new textbooks on the shelves.
"What's up, Evan?" I asked.
"I should ask you that" he said, "those two U.S.S.L. agents came in earlier..."
"I've already told them everything I know about all that..." I told him.
"They asked the University's policy on terminating people who are found guilty of major felonies" he said, looking at me for answers.
"I guess they're fishing for something you could tell them...which is nothing...because there's nothing to tell!" I said.
"The older one..."
"Danvers" I said.
"Yeah, Danvers said...well, more insinuated...that they had already found something" Evan told me.
"What? What was it they supposedly found?" I asked.
"Phony accounts created on the same day you paid off your motorcycle loan" Evan said, "apparently they did a sweep of any new accounts created and located one with two bogus account holders."
"Ridiculous" I said, suddenly trying hard to keep from throwing up. I had to get a message to Mark. I told Evan I felt sick and needed to run to the bathroom. I borrowed a co-worker's phone and went back and texted a message to Mark and Grexl -- "Now" was all it said. I deleted the message from her phone and said thanks then went into the restroom and ejected one hardy bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee into the toilet. I sat by the commode and forced myself to think_. If the account they found had two names on it, it had to be the smaller one with $100K that Mark set up, not the big pile -- that one was invested. Still. How did they manage to find that even? Just on a hunch or was there something else going on?_ I was more than ever convinced that we should move on the plan to use Uncle Zarvek to create some false paperwork for us. If he needed some big payment, maybe I could get mom to pay him. A gentle knock on the stall door pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Kreg, you okay?" Evan's voice said through the door.
"Yeah, I'm going to be all right. I think it was just something I ate" I told him, wiping my mouth with some wadded-up toilet paper and flushing one more time. He waited while I went to the sink and splashed my face with cold water and dried off.
"Okay...good as new" I said -- not really feeling, or even sounding, `good as new'. Evan went to the office, and I took over the stocking where he left off, just trying to keep my mind off all the stuff going on. I worked on stocking and running the register when a customer came in most of the morning. I hit the clock at 12 for lunch and when I walked outside, Mark's Jeep was parked in the first row across from the door. I made a bee line for the Jeep and got in.
"I thought you might like a decent lunch" he said.
"Sure, sounds good" I told him.
We went to a little meat and three at the edge of campus and dumped our phones in the glove box before we went in. After losing my breakfast I was getting hungry, so I was honestly glad he did this.
"I'm assuming that was you from that weird number?" he asked.
"Yeah -- a coworker. I deleted the text from her phone" I said. He nodded.
"Evan, my boss, said Danvers and Rivers were back and they led him to believe that they found proof of our taking dirty money" I told him. I went on to tell him why I thought it was the small account. Funny to call $100,000 a small account.
"I had an idea. If Zarvek requires some kind of bribe for doing our paperwork, maybe mom will pay him. After all, you said she and dad have the motherlode over there on Vanterra" I told him. I was preaching to the choir with him -- he just needed to convince Grexl to reach out.
"The thing is, as Grex has pointed out to me redundantly, we can't get him to create paperwork unless we tell him how much it is. If we tell him how much it is, Grex said Zarvek will make a point of fucking us out of it. Not that it's that much money to him; it just that he's a real douchebag" Mark said.
"Does anybody know how much my dad got away with?" I asked him.
"Unofficial estimate is nearly a trillion dollars equivalent" Mark said.
"Dirtbag son-of-a-bitch! He treated me and mom like trash and was rolling in money" I said.
"Same situation as us though, he had it on paper but couldn't dare spend it" Mark said, "He's living it up now. According to Marian, they are `nouveau vards' at this point."
"If he'd never found out, I could have kept pretending..." I said, thinking out loud.
"Would you rather be rich and alone or poor with Ravan snuggling you in bed?" Mark asked me.
"Okay. I get your point" I said.
"Money doesn't buy happiness" Mark said.
"It can buy things that make you happy, though" I told him.
"Look, Kreg, it'll either work out or it won't. At least in this scenario, no matter what happens, you end up with Rav" he said.
I lifted my hand to look at the promise ring again -- Forever -- our words echoed in my mind. Mark saw me looking at the ring and smiled. "That's your treasure, buddy - not some line of zeroes on a bank statement" he said. He dropped me back at the bookstore. I had four more hours till Rav would pick me up. I jumped back into work, trying to find as much to do as I could to make the day pass faster.
I punched out at 6:05 after I finished waiting on my last customer. Rav was waiting in the parking lot in his usual spot. I jumped in and he immediately kissed me. When I looked up, I saw Evan on the way to his car. He smiled and waved so I waved back. Rav started up and we headed for home. Home. Thinking back on what Mark said, I reached across the console and took Rav's hand in mine, interlacing our fingers. At the stoplight, he turned to look at me and I could see the love in his eyes. I decided then and there that the money wasn't more important than my fiancé.
Kris and Kathy were at the table when we came in. Kathy tapped the bottle of Advil to get a couple and swallowed them down with some water. When we sat down, Kris motioned for us to wait a minute. He walked through the kitchen into the garage and came back holding something that looked like a small safe or something. He motioned for us to give him our phones, he collected his and Kathy's and they all went into the thing. He shut the door and latched it, and a green light came on.
"We're free to talk now, this thing does not allow any signal in or out of that box" he told us.
"Grexl made the call today, on his own" Kris said.
"What? Mark told me at lunch that we weren't going that route" I told them.
"Grexl said that he felt like Zarvek would treat family differently than some regular mark on the street" he said.
"Do you think that?" Rav asked.
"I don't know son, but Grex has managed to get all of you into a position" Kris said. "Zarvek actually agreed to help on the condition that he meet the newlyweds."
"Newlyweds?" I asked, "Mark and Grexl?"
"Not exactly...well partially" he said, Kathy gripped her head like it was about to explode.
"How much in love are you guys?" Kris asked.
"Wait, he told your uncle we were married?" I wasn't sure what to say. Ravan's hand went into mine and held it tightly.
"When will he be here to see us?" Ravan asked.
"That's another thing...if Zarvek stepped foot on Earth, he'd be detained and arrested at the spaceport" Kris said.
"We can't afford to go to Vanterra" I said, "Not to mention what most people there would think of us."
That's when the third imaginary shoe dropped.
"The four of you will have to be ready to board next Friday" Kris said.
"The four of us -- as in me, Ravan, Grexl and Mark?" I asked.
"Yes, Zarvek wants to use two young, married karra'gav -- that means something like oddity, novelty, strange - couples to promote his social engineering ideas on the home world" he said.
"But we're not married" I said. Kris gave me a look that I immediately understood to mean `that's what you get for dealing with Zarvek'.
"I mean, it's not like we're opposed to the idea" Rav said, "getting married I mean."
"No...but we're basically being forced to do it, us and Mark and Grexl" I said, even though it would only move up the date for them.
"I think we need to discuss this alone" I said to Ravan.
"No. If you don't love me enough to marry me, say it in front of my parents" Rav said, looking concerned all of a sudden.
"Rav...it's not about...why are you?..." he looked at me apprehensively, waiting. So much for standing on principle - "Of course I love you, you asshole."
"Then how about Saturday?" he said. Kris and Kathy looked at Rav like he had two heads.
"There's no way I can plan a wedding in four days" Kathy said.
"Grex and I already have it planned. Simple ceremony, just family, at his shop, his counter helper is decorating, Vanterran rites performed by Father Aggnorrinni" Ravan said.
"You two conspired on this?" Kris said.
"Maybe..." Rav said.
"You better get a glass of water, Ravan. You've got a lot of explaining to do tonight before bedtime" I told my very suddenly acquired fiancé.
