Once hd had pulled up on the driveway Aaron ran into his house and found Robert sat on the sofa.
"Where the hell have you been. I've been worried sick Aaron" Robert quickly stood up and rushed over to Aaron. He pulled his boyfriend into a hug and held him tightly.
"I went to the prison." Aaron said as he hugged Robert.
"You what? Are you okay?" Robert pulled back from Aaron and placed both hands on his boyfriend's shoulders.
"Yeah I'm alright" Aaron nodded his head.
"Did he try anything? Did he touch you?" Robert asked.
"He rubbed his foot against my ankle and he touched my leg again. But I slapped his hand away and I stood up to him. It felt good when I stood up to him" Aaron briefly smiled.
"What else happened" Robert asked. He was proud of Aaron for standing up to Gordon but he needed to know what else happened.
"He threated to do the same thing to you that he did to me when he kidnapped me. I said that I would kill him if he ever touched you. I said that I would make his life a living hell if he ever hurt you" Aaron looked into Robert's eyes and hugged him.
"My own guardian angel ay? I'm proud of you" Robert nuzzled into Aaron's neck and kissed him.
"I tricked him into telling me where Cooper is" Aaron pulled back "Get your jacket".
"Where is he?" Robert asked.
"My dad's house" Aaron said as he and Robert got into Aaron's car and they drove to Gordon's house. When they got to the house they parked outside and ran to the front door. They ran at the door a few times when they heard Cooper barking. When the door finally broke, they ran in and searched the downstairs of the house. "Cooper!" Aaron and Robert called.
"Shut up you stupid mutt!" A man shouted.
Aaron and Robert both heard a dog yelp and immediately realised that it was Cooper. They ran upstairs and searched all of the rooms. "My bedroom" Aaron said before running down the hallway and into another room.
Robert ran into the other room and saw Aaron hugging Cooper. Robert then saw someone walking up behind Aaron. "Oi!" Robert shouted before tackling the man. The man fell to the floor with Robert on top of him.
"Get off!" The man growled.
"Nobody sneaks up on my boyfriend except me!" Robert shouted before he hit the man on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Robert then stood up and walked over to Aaron "Is he ok?" Robert asked when he saw that Aaron was holding one of Cooper's paws up.
"He has a large cut on the back of his leg. We need to get him to Paddy. He won't be able to walk" Aaron gently lowered Cooper's paw and he picked the dog up. Cooper was shivering in Aaron's arms "Sshh it's alright, boy. It's alright" he said. They walked downstairs and back to the car. Robert sat in the back with Cooper and Aaron drove them back to the village. When they got back to the village they saw Paddy and Chas walking out of David's shop. "Paddy!" Aaron yelled when he got out of the car.
"Aaron what's wrong?" Paddy and Chas both ran over to Aaron.
"We found Cooper" Aaron answered as he opened Robert's door.
Robert got out of the car holding Cooper in his arms "He has a cut on the back of one of his legs. Can you take a look at it please?"
"Yeah sure, lets get him to the surgery" Paddy said.
They walked to the surgery and Paddy had a look at the injury on the back of Cooper's leg. After one hour Paddy walked out of the surgery and found Aaron and Robert in the waiting room.
"So? Is he gonna be ok?" Aaron asked.
"There's no infection so he's going to be fine" Paddy reassured.
"Oh thank god" Aaron breathed.
"You can come and see him" Paddy said.
Aaron and Robert both walked with Paddy into the vet's surgery and saw Cooper lying on the table. As soon as he saw his owners Cooper's tail began to wag and he looked like he was smiling. They walked over and began to stroke their dog.
"Hey boy, you happy to see us?" Robert smiled.
"We missed you Cooper, we were really worried about you boy" Aaron also smiled at his dog.
After Paddy had given them some medicines and dressings for Cooper's injuries, Aaron and Robert walked home. Once they had entered the house Aaron filled Cooper's food and water bowls and called him over. Cooper came limping in and started to eat. Robert and Aaron both stood in the doorway watching their dog eat and drink like he had never seen food and water before. After he had finished Cooper limped over to Aaron and Robert.
"Good boy Cooper" Aaron said as he crouched down and stroked his dog.
They then walked into the living room and Cooper followed. Robert lifted Cooper onto the sofa and he curled up. Aaron sat on the sofa and Cooper rested his head on Aaron's lap. Aaron stroked Cooper and Robert sat on the floor in front of the sofa. Both Aaron and Robert were relieved to have their beloved dog back and they intended on keeping him for a very long time.
