Picking up Roman

*Alik's POV*

     *two weeks later*

     When Pheonix showed up at my parents  house,  apartment keys in hand,  I was shocked. "When did you get them?" I asked,  grabbing them from him and looking at them in amazement. There were two of them so i put one in my pocket. 

     "This morning. Now come on,  we gotta pick up Roman on our way!" He grabbed the other key from me before grabbing my arm and pulling me to an old jeep.  

     I hopped into the passenger seat and he climbed into the drivers seat,  smiling wildly. "You're really excited to become Roman's legal guardian, aren't you?" I asked,  smiling softly. He nodded and started driving. 

     About fifteen minutes later, we stopped in front of a large house that had multiple little kids running around out front with a smiling man,  who seemed really creepy, watching over them.  I noticed how many of the kids veered away from him as they were playing. 

     Pheonix tensed up for a second before he opened the door and walked up to the man. The man looked Pheonix up and down while talking to him. I could tell Pheonix was uncomfortable by the way he was shifting from one foot to the other. 

     Pheonix walked into the building, leaving the man behind. After a few minutes the man looked around, not noticing me in the car,  and beckoned an 8 to 10 year old boy over to him.  The boy seemed a little nervous, but walked over to him nonetheless. 

     The man caressed the boys face softly before picking him up, which made the boy struggle and scream to no avail, and started to walk into the building. 

      "Oh fuck no." I said softly before opening the car door and rushing over to the man, pulling the boy out of his arms quickly. "What the fuck did you think you were doing?!" I screamed at the man,  setting the boy down. He hid behind me, tears streaming down his cheeks. 

     He looked me up and down quickly,  noticing my small gay pride pin i kept on my pocket.  "None of your business, faggot!" He shouted, attempting to grab the little boy.  

     I grabbed his arm and glared at him, ready to tear him to shreads. "Don't you even think about it." I growled at him.  He started whimpering as my hand started to burn his arm.  

     "Alik, what's going on?" Pheonix suddenly asked from the doorway. I quickly cooled off my hand,  to make his arm look as if i had only been gripping it to tightly,  but also to make it more painful for the pervert.
