Raysburg, West Virginia
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave." Darterrius said to the stumbling man, as he leaned on the waitress.
"Go fuck yourself!" The young drunk man said pointing a finger back at him. "The lady and I were making plans for later!"
"And I said no Thank-you, I'm married." Declared the mature blonde haired waitress.
"Let's go buddy." Darterrius said holding out a hand.
The young man assumed that he could take the tall muscular Darterrius, he sung a fist, then another. His opponent dodged both, then a third, the young man roared in frustration.
"Stay still so I can hit you." He yelled.
"Swing faster, or put more effort into it." Darterrius replied dodging more potential blows.
Darterrius felt like a young Cassius Clay in the ring, wearing down his opponent in the ring. Soon the fists lost what little energy they had.
"You done yet?" Darterrius asked as the young man leaned on the wall for support.
"Fuck you..." He slurred.
Darterrius escorted the man to the door, then threw him as hard as he could into a pile of garbage bags. The young man stood up, covered in trash, and wet, he now felt sober, and very confused.
"You want me to call you a cab?" Darterrius asked.
"Yeah..." The young man replied.
After that the locals at the country dance bar gave the Darterrius the new comer no further trouble. At the end of the night, the waitresses lined up to give him a kiss on the cheek followed by a tip-out. Last amongst them was the mature blonde he saved earlier.
"So what brings you to this little part of America?" She asked.
"It's a long story, but let's just say I'm searching for my birth parents." Darterrius said. "I'm working odd jobs here and there on my journey."
The DJ came over to introduce himself, he was married to the waitress, his name was Gerald, and hers Barbara. He looked frail and weak, but in his eyes you could see the fire he once had.
"Where are you staying?" Gerald asked.
"The owner says I can use a cot in the back." Darterrius replied.
"Non-sense, come home with us!" Gerald said with a smile.
The three of them really hit it off very well; back at their home, they fed Darterrius, then sat around the dinner table talking. Gerald spoke about his chemotherapy, and Darterrius described his quest for his birth parents.
"Honey, I wish I was your Mama!" Barbara declared giving him a hug.
Darterrius notice that her embrace was firm, a little too firm. Barbara was a five-foot three woman in her fifties that wore her blonde hair up with a ton of hair spray. After that hug he was convinced that her attention getting bust she had was not as natural as it appeared.
"Thank-you, you're both great folks, I wish you were as well." He replied.
"I am a radiated waste, and I need to get some rest." Stated a frail Gerald.
Darterrius shook his hand and bid him a good, night. Gerald then kissed Barbara on the cheek and left. As a young man, sex was always on his mind, Darterrius wondered why Barbara didn't leave too, so he decided to make a move, and see where it went.
