Beyond The Blue

Heading back to the video, I stand there absolutely surprised that two seemingly unlinked cases have suddenly just merged big time and actually put a new twist on things. Branko is sitting there confused as Mitch walks in with me and I point to the screen as Eve also follows us in because I felt that it was just as important she saw this.

“That’s…” Mitch says as I nod at him and Eve who is a bit like Branko not sure what they are looking at. “Yep, that’s Simon Jamison… it’s Levi’s Dad” I say as this quickly turns the hit and run as well as what happened at the hostel with Levi and the whole incident there.

Mitch rubs his hands over his face not sure what to do right now “So the basics were that Henry and I got put onto a case about a hit-and-run accident where someone had sideswiped a group of parked cars on Jupiter Drive but then sped off, we found the car registered to Frank Stanton but quickly eliminated him because the Stanton’s are away overseas on a Cruise” I say to Mitch as he is still not connected.

I sit there for a minute and continue to explain “So we found out that it was Mr Stanton’s brother-in-law that had access to the car via the neighbours and then through the neighbour across the road’s home security cameras we got an ID of the person taking the car and this is what we got” as Mitch nods but I can tell this could just be coincidental.

“This is all good but it’s extremely circumstantial Trent and there’s not much we can go on you know,” he says which I get and maybe I am probably trying to put things together that aren’t necessarily there. “I know that but don’t you find it to be all a bit strange that Simon Jamison has access to the car which was caught on camera with severe damage after crashing into parked cars and driving erratically and then him turning up at the Hostel allegedly drunk and bashing on the door?” I try to convince Mitch but it’s something that I don’t really need to do.

He stands there as Eve looks across at me “Do we have vision of him actually driving off with the car because for as much as everything is pointing to him we just don’t have that conclusive evidence that can definitively put him at the scene?” she says as I feel dejected because I felt that we could’ve had all the evidence that could’ve cleared Levi completely as just self-defence. “Trent, this is amazing work you know that and we’re just that fraction of an inch away from nailing all this but if I present this to DS Richards or the PPS they’ll just say that it’s all circumstantial and doesn’t connect the two cases completely,” Mitch says as I just nod at him.

“If you can get anything of him driving the car away, then I’m going to take it straight to DS Richards and beyond that, because he cannot argue with the facts, all four of us and Henry know the truth about this situation, so if you can get him driving the car that night then it would be a slam dunk,” he says getting in a Basketball reference which he loves to do.

Mitch heads upstairs because he’s got other stuff to do as Eve stands there for a minute thinking of a plan of action for us “Go through the rest of the video to see if you can see anything, get in contact with the Stanton’s again to see if they have any security systems that could be activated… they have been notified right?” she asks as I give a shrugging sort of nod.

“We put in a call to the Stanton’s on a number that we had and then to the Cruise company but I don’t think there has been a response back as yet, we could give it another try if you want?” I ask as Eve nods to me. “Absolutely, but this time with more information on our side we could potentially get them to agree to let us access their security systems if they have any,” she says as I nod and leave Branko to keep watching as I use the phone.

Contacting the cruise company is like talking to a brick wall because they keep telling me that people can only be contacted in an emergency and must be family. I tell them to wait for a while and then try to get Eve to help me to get through but even then she can’t so finally we have to get Ange to talk her way into them letting us speak to the Stantons.

Standing there I can hear Ange raising her voice “Look, we understand there are protocols but two of my officers have tried to contact Mr and Mrs Stanton about an incident at their homes, we need to inform them of the incident which I am not at liberty to speak to you about and ask them some questions”. The process takes forever but eventually, Ange gets through what seemed to be a bigger brick wall than when she has to deal with confidential matters and the Special Operations units.

“Hello, this is Frank Stanton speaking,” the man says down the line in a very forceful and brash manner like he didn’t want to be disturbed. “Good morning Mr Stanton, my name is Constable Trent Hannan from the Junction Police Station, I’m just contacting you this morning in regards to a hit-and-run accident on Jupiter Drive two nights ago that involved your Black Subaru,” I say as he lets out a groan.

“Well young man, it could hardly be me behind the wheel now could it when quite easily you could have found out that we’ve been on this cruise for 3 weeks already and have another few months to go,” he says to me as I keep my frustration in check right now because I’m not accusing him of anything like he is implying.

I sit there and take a deep breath “Mr Stanton, I appreciate that and it was never my intention to sound accusatory at all but what we wanted to know was that during your time away if anybody had access to the car because one of your neighbours had told us that you’re brother-in-law was looking after the car” I say as he clearly doesn’t want to have the conversation and I know that it’s probably only 4 or 5am where they are right now.

“Ok yes, my wife’s brother-in-law said he would look after the car because they are the only family we’ve got in town but he’s not going to be the one driving,” he says frustrated and I don’t want the conversation dragging out but at the same time, he’s not giving me any information.

“I am sorry to keep this dragging out but do you have a name for your brother-in-law so we can just talk to him because, from the evidence we have, it doesn’t look like the car was stolen rather somebody that could’ve had access to it,” I say as I can hear another groan down the line but I don’t know now whether that’s for me or about the situation. “Yes, my brother-in-law is Simon Jamison and my wife gave her sister, Simon’s wife the keys before we left,” he says as I fist pump to myself because this might not necessarily be the entire smoking gun we need but it goes a long way to getting what we need to get Levi off the hook.

“Thank you very much, Mr Stanton, there is one more question I have and I promise that we will organise to talk again if we need to at a better time for you,” I say to him trying to apologise and his attitude has changed slightly but is still totally irritated with me. “I do have one more question for you, do you have a security system such as a doorbell camera or something similar because we just want to identify whether it was Mr Jamison driving or not,” I ask as he tells us that they actually have it set up for when they are away.

Getting off the phone, I head back to Ange’s office from using the spare call room and I see everybody congregated around waiting for the information “I wasn’t expecting everyone to be waiting for me, after getting through to Mr Stanton and his frustrated attitude, they left the car to be looked after by his brother-in-law Simon Jamison” I say as there a few smiles although knowing there isn’t the information that necessarily seals that he was driving.

“He told me that his wife had given the keys to her sister which means that they had the keys to the car and he said that they installed a brand new security system right before they left and didn’t tell anyone so they would send us the link shortly” I explain as we have to play the waiting game for a while for him to send the information about it.

It’s a waiting game right now as we stand around “You and Branko can type up these incident reports for me until we get the information because I don’t want too much of a delay once the security details come in” Eve says as we all go back to work.

Branko and I wander back to the room to start typing up and I can tell he’s frustrated by just having to type all day “Are you kidding? This is what we’re doing?” he says as I pat his back. “Yep, this is everything they don’t tell you about at the academy isn’t it,” I say as he just laughs and nods.

“So what how is it all going with you and Ethan?” I ask always trying to pry for information about his relationship because I still have my suspicions about them and just whether Ethan is everything that he claims to be.

Thankfully, Branko never reads into my suspicions and thinks I’m just asking as a mate more than trying to think something is wrong “There is not much to say you know, he’s going overseas for a few weeks for work, the whole situation isn’t going well so he wants to monitor it closer” he says about Ethan as I nod and then drop the subject to not let on I’m asking more as an investigator.

There is still nothing from the security company as we take a break for lunch and I ring Connor just to see how his day is going on trying to organise work to begin on the gym as soon as it’s possible.

Me: “Hey you, how’s your day been?”

Connor: “Hey, not too bad actually managed to get a few bits and pieces done at the gym and managed to get the builders and contractors booked so they can start the rebuild from the start of the month”

Me: “Sweet, should have the paperwork by then right? Because we can’t risk not having the permits at all”

Connor: “Trenty, I’m not going to do anything to risk all this ok? I made sure that they all knew that any major work cannot start until we’ve got the permits you know” 

Me: “Yeah I know, sorry just not thinking straight right now”

Connor: “No news then?”

Me: “Nope, we’re on the borderline of ensuring that Levi’s dad is the driver of that car that crashed but we just can’t prove it beyond the reasonable doubt and once we do that, we can prove that Levi was a target and was just reacting to the situation”

Connor: “It’ll be fine, you know that and he’s got the best people on his side, I’ve gotta get going because I’ve got the counsellor in half an hour or so”

Me: “Yeah no problems my special guy, I’ll let you know anything new if we get it”

I finish having lunch and know that I shouldn’t be calling Connor at work or taking such a long lunch break but I need to do it just to break up my day because I’d always used to see him or be spending the day with him. Heading back to typing up the reports, everything seems to be blurring into one another until one of the Station admin officers comes in.

“Constable Hannan and Probationary Constable Kovacic?” she asks as we both nod “The information you requested from Nationwide Security Systems has arrived”. This could be what we need as we head out of the room and quickly start to look at what we need to see if Mr Jamison is the driver of the car and give us more of a defence to get Levi out of custody.

Watching the footage, the security cameras are just what we need and I high-five Branko excited because it puts Simon Jamison in the car, stumbling and belligerently drunk which puts him in the driver’s seat as the cause of the accident and then although there are a few hours missing we can back up Levi and the others story.

Showing everybody the footage, Ange calls DS Richards down and I can tell that they have a pretty frosty relationship and he doesn’t see the relevance as she quickly explains to him that she wants to level charges against Mr Jamison for the accident and that the story of what happened at the hostel is true.

It’s an anxious wait to see what happens in the rest of the afternoon as the PPS make a decision on whether to push Levi’s case forward with the new information. As Branko and I continue to go back and type up reports I’m struggling to stay calm either way not knowing what’s going on.

It seems like an absolute eternity of typing reports and I keep checking my watch which I can sense that Branko is getting agitated “Fucking hell Trent, this afternoon isn’t going to go any quicker or we’re not going to find anything out sooner if you keep checking your watch” he says to me as I nod and totally get where he’s coming from.

“Yeah I know mate, but it just makes me anxious not knowing because we’ve pretty much put it out there to clear Levi,” I say to Branko who nods as I’m just trying to not blame myself for this and the longer that this drags on, the worse I know it would be for Levi.

The time drags on so slowly and I feel like I’m getting through all the work so quickly because I’m starting to think that maybe once I’m done with all this then I will have more news. It’s about 2 hours later when Ange comes in with some news “I’ve spoken to the PPS with the new evidence and they’ve elected to drop the charges against Levi, they evaluated the case this afternoon and said that it looked as if it was a self-defence situation”.

I let out a big sigh of relief “Thank god for that, it’s just a shame that it had to get to this point and that I let Levi down when I told him I’d protect him” my blame coming out again and even though everybody has told me not to, I just think that I didn’t do enough to protect Levi from the initial situation of his Dad turning up.

“Trent, you cannot blame yourself for this incident, the fact that Levi Is still with us today says everything about you and how much you’ve changed his life for the better” Ange says to me as I stand there and nod knowing she’s right. “From that afternoon where you went up there and talked to him at the station and opened up to him with some stuff that was pretty heavy that you hadn’t told anyone yet” Ange is getting to the point.

“If I had any other officer on that overpass that afternoon, Levi would have jumped, it’s because of you that he is here today,” she says as I nod and realise how much of an impact I’ve had on his life and always thought that if it was Joe or someone else then we wouldn’t have Levi still with us.

I wander out of the room to go and see Levi and expect him to give me the cold shoulder but he just walks over and hugs me tightly “I’m sorry Trent, I was never trying to bring any more trouble to you or Tom, I just wanted to live my life without worry” he says to me as I rub his back and we find a spot in private.

“I know you weren’t Levi and it’s my fault that this all came I should’ve protected you so much better than what I did,” I say as he glares at me and then starts repeating everything that’s been said to me. “Trent, none of this is your fault because if you didn’t prove to me why I still have so much to live for then I would have jumped from that bridge that day,” he says as I nod reassuring him that everything would be ok going forward despite still feeling guilty about letting the trouble return to him.

Ange comes into get Levi to talk to him and get another statement about things and to talk about how school is going and what she can do to help him with the situation right now because his major English assignment was due yesterday and with him being stupidly arrested and locked up he couldn’t hand it in and it could damage his chances of graduating significantly if there is nothing done to help him.

Going back to finishing typing the reports, I feel much better knowing that Levi is back out and with Ange looking after his situation it can make everything just as normal as possible for him to head home. Our shift finishes and Levi has already headed back to the hostel as Tom texts me letting me know that he picked him up and how appreciative he is of the work that I’ve done for Levi.

Finishing my shift, I text Levi to check if he’s ok and I think about heading back to the hostel to see him but I’m so emotionally drained after the past few days that I just need to take a break and spend some time with Connor with just the two of us.

Me: “Hey Levi, hope you’re feeling ok and I’ll try to get around in the next few days to check how everything is going”

I text Levi still thinking that he probably is going to be annoyed with me for this situation because I told him that his father couldn’t get anywhere near him and all this happened when I said that he couldn’t bother him again.

Instead of replying via text message, Levi rings me as I’m leaving just so that we can talk and he can share how he is feeling.

Levi: “Hey Trent, thanks for everything that you’ve done for me over the past two days I appreciate it so much and I know that you are probably blaming yourself for this but please don’t, like I said to you at the station it’s not your fault”

Me: “Hey Levi, I’m glad that you’re ok and I hope Inspector Reynolds was able to help you out with everything with school and your English assignment because I know how much effort that you had put towards it and I don’t want you failing”

Levi: “Yeah, she’s talked to the principal who was willing to sign off the exemption given that she knows the whole situation and everything that I’m going through” 

Knowing that situation is slightly solved there is a big relief as I head out there and sit in the car just talking to Levi as he tells me that he’ll go to School tomorrow because he just wants to get back to life as per normal which I’m not sure about but if he’s happy to then I am as well.

Levi: “How is my Dad doing? Is he awake and talking yet because I want to see him and talk to him”

I’m surprised that Levi is so open to reconciling with his father because of all the shit that happened and how their relationship is almost zero, especially after what happened and I don’t know if I could have the patience for it although I’ve always been lucky enough to have a family who has loved me no matter what.

Me: “I don’t know in all honesty right now but you just have to be patient with everything that happens because I can’t say much but there are some extra aspects to the situation that aren’t necessarily going to be the best of news for anyone so I just want you to potentially be prepared”

Levi: “What do you mean? Or is it something that you can’t tell me?”

Me: “Unfortunately I can’t talk about it but I just want you to be prepared ok?”

Levi: “Yeah I get you, Trent, anyway I’ve got to probably get going because I’m ok cooking duties tonight and I want to make it up to everybody here”

Getting off the phone, Levi seems to be in a good place mentally which is what I was worried about because he’s a strong kid deep down but with what happened at the station and then in the past few days I was so worried that he was going to just go beyond the breaking point it’s so good to see him say that he’s ok, especially with what happened.

Eventually, I get home and thankfully I’ve got a few days off now just to spend relaxing for the most part and to spend it with Connor. Walking through the door, the first thing I do is wrap my arms over his shoulders and just kiss him deeply needing that company and love from my man right now.

“That was a nice surprise walking in the door,” he says as I smile and just flop down on the lounge letting out a massive sigh totally exhausted both mentally and physically. “One of those days again?” he says as I nod my head as he finishes cooking dinner for me again as I can’t be bothered getting up off the lounge right now.

“Yeah, the accident took a completely different turn to what we were expecting and thankfully Levi won’t be charged over the incident because the PPS have said that they don’t see how they can sustain a conviction especially given all the extra information that we’ve got now,” I say as Connor brings dinner over to the couch which is something that we both hate but tonight we can throw it out the window.

Connor sits next to me “So it was Levi’s dad driving the car?” he asks as I nod and he just leaves it at that knowing that I’m probably just trying to escape from all the work dramas. We sit there watching the news for a while as we just enjoy dinner and then Connor comes over and cuddles into me tightly.

It doesn’t take me long to fall asleep in Connor’s arms as I put my head on his shoulder and feel his muscles cuddling into me as my exhaustion of the past few days finally catches up with me as I go to sleep for a while. Waking up about 2 hours later, I see Connor still sitting there and I know that he would’ve wanted to get up by now “Hey sleepyhead” he says to me as I look up at him before smiling and giving him a kiss.

“You could’ve woken me up you know,” I say as he just shakes his head at me because he didn’t want to disturb me at all. “I could’ve but after the past few days that you’ve had, I didn’t want to disturb you” Connor’s patience and caring nature are one of the most amazing things about him because on the outside he looks like he could be a bit of a self-centred prick with his meticulously groomed body and hair and then when he wears his piercings he looks a totally different person.

Onstad, he is the kindest soul that you could ever meet and that his main focus is to make sure that everybody else is ok rather than just focusing on himself. Getting up, he finally gets to wash the dishes up as I start to get undressed so that I can have a shower.

Standing there just in my underwear, I stand behind Connor and put my arms over his shoulders so my muscled chest is up against him and he can feel my smooth skin pressing in against him. “You know I could use one of the famous Connor Jones shower massages,” I say as he just turns around and kisses me and looks at me.

“I think that I’ve got some time in my schedule,” he says as I quickly take his shirt off and run my hands over his body as I’m massaging him more than he is massaging me right now as we quickly head upstairs to the shower.

It doesn’t take long for us to be naked and I smile as Connor turns on the water and we both get in and we both know that the shower isn’t big enough for two people let alone two muscle guys our size but we always make it work. Letting the water run down my body, Connor starts massaging my shoulders and I’m already moaning.

The magic of his fingers and hands is just amazing as I can feel all the tension just flying out of my body right now as I just moan loudly which Connor smiles at as I close my eyes. Feeling his hands running down my back to my butt and him massaging me feels amazing like always and I just melt with his touch as I let him do what he wants to me as he continues to go up my body before kissing my neck and then going down my back.

Standing there in the moment, Connor turns me around and starts to massage my pecs and I feel his mouth starting to kiss my neck again slowly going down my body as his tongue does its magic working itself the way down until I feel him kissing just around my pubes which are in need of a shave again but then I feel his hand slide back up my body.

Connor turns the water off and then pushes me to the bedroom and he dries my body off with the towel but at the same time my cock is leaking profusely right now as he finally pushes me back onto the bed and climbs over the top of me kissing me down before his tongue hits around the base of my cock and I jump.

His tongue swirls around the base and then around my balls which he knows is one of my favourite spots for attention and he focuses on each of my balls as his finger rubs between my balls and my ass teasing my hole. I lay there moaning loudly as Connor keeps going before I open my eyes again and see him starting to suck on my cock slowly, giving it all the attention that it craves and deserves right now.

The slowness of his tongue is amazing as my load continues to build in my balls with every motion of his tongue against my cock. I moan loudly and take control of Connor’s head as I hold it down as he takes every inch of my cock down his throat like the expert he is.

Sliding back up, I can feel that he is wanting me to flip over which I do and he starts to run his tongue over my ass and I keep moaning loudly as he runs his finger down my crack and starts to tease my hole which if it could speak right now would basically be saying “Fucking me Connor right now”.

I keep moaning loudly as I can feel Connor now climbing over my body as he is still massaging my back but his thick cock is also now rubbing against my tight hole and crack. The more he massages my back and rubs his cock along my crack, the more I can feel my cock leaking onto the towel underneath me and I moan almost begging to be fucked hard.

Connor then goes down my back again as he stretches my cheeks open and the next thing I feel is his tongue starting to run itself over my hole as he starts rimming me. My moans get louder and my hands clench my pillow as he keeps eating me out and my cock is now like a stream with cum leaking out of it.

I get ready to say to Connor that he can fuck me but I don’t even need to say anything because before I can ask I feel his cock starting to rub against my hole and then pressing in as I let out a very audible sense of pleasure “Oh fuck yeah babe… get that cock inside me” I say as he laughs and then starts to press in deeper until he hits my prostate.

Connor’s cock is like a magnet to my sweet spot and it doesn’t take long for me to feel him starting to pick up the pace and ramming my tight hole. I moan loudly and Connor is in total control of me as he grabs my head and pins it down as he fucks me harder.

It probably isn’t the way that most people want to forget about things, but having Connor taking control of me and leaving me with no control over anything right now and it actually relaxes me a lot because the outside world seems gone. Connor continues to fuck me as I close my eyes and just enjoy the lack of control I’ve got and he starts to leak inside me which I moan when I feel his load starting to leak inside me as my hard cock is still pinned underneath my body.

Connor slows down the pace which makes my tight hole milk his cock until I start to feel him cumming inside me which I beg for him to do “Fucking cum inside me baby” I say as Connor grunts and picks up the speed as he keeps my head pinned down and blows his load inside me as I’m out of control of the situation.

I don’t know how long Connor stays inside me but underneath me, my hard cock is wet from the spot underneath before he flips me over and then starts to suck my cock again as he both sucks it and jerks it. It doesn’t take long for me to blow a load that spreads well beyond the two of us as it goes all over his face, and body as well as somehow getting onto the walls as well.

Connor licks up all the cum off my cock and body as we go back to making out with each other and I can’t believe how good he still manages to make me feel no matter how many times we do this and especially tonight when I was carrying so much tension.

I look at Connor and smile “When I asked for a massage you know I wasn’t expecting that” I say as his cheeky grin with his amazing white smile just lights up the room. “I know that Trent, but I’ve very quickly learnt that you do your best when you’re not in control,” he says which I know is right because not being in control just let out of all the tension that I had about everything going on right now.

Washing the cum off our bodies, we both just get into bed completely naked together I just look into Connor’s eyes deeply and just kissing him again as my hands continue to rub his body and as I do that he just looks at me “I love you Trent and cannot wait until I can call you my husband” he says as I smile and nod in agreement.

“I can’t wait for that day too and I appreciate every day for how I was so lucky to get one of the most special people in the world in my life again,” I say as he just smiles and we fall asleep naked, our bodies pressed into each other feeling the warmth exuding from each other's bodies.
