_**From Zero to Hero.

By Wolfie Steel.

Part 4.**_

As with most of my stories, this one will contain acts of violence, bad language and gay sex, it will also deal with gay relationships. If any of this content is not for you or you are not old enough, then please don't read any further, otherwise enjoy!!!

Author's Note: Leo the Fox and Deitrick Steinberg are characters created by Rion Kagemon. Rion was my mate up until recently when we parted on good terms, we are still good friends and he has given me his permission to continue to use the characters.

Leo's radio alarm clock kicks in "Its 7am and now time for the news update, police are on the lookout for an escaped prisoner this morning after he managed to break free from the officer that was holding him, Deitrick Steinberg is considered to be dangerous and police say that he should not be approached....."

My eyes go wide as I hear the name and I quickly shake Leo to wake him. Leo wakes with a gentle smile on his muzzle.

"Morning gorgeous"

My reply soon wipes the smile from his face.

"Leo, we need to get up and get dressed, and then we need to head to the house of a friend of mine........ Deitrick has broken free from the cops and I will give you one guess as to what is on his mind"

Leo jumps out of bed and we both quickly begin to dress.

"God damn it, can't the cops get anything fucking right?"

Leo continues to dress but I see that he is shaking like a leaf; the news of Deitrick's escape has hit him hard. I try to comfort him by gently stroking his ears, but nothing is working.

"Chance for the love of god, get dressed, if Deitrick catches us here I don't even wanna think about what he will do to us"

Once dressed we both rush out to Leo's now repaired car, he throws me the keys. I unlock the car and we get in, this time when I turn the key in the ignition it fires up without question.

I put the car into gear and we head off towards Officer Jordan's place. As we pull up outside the house I see the unmistakeable frame of the St. Bernard heading towards us like a steam locomotive, this is one drawback with Officer Jordan's place being on the same road as the police holding area. Both me and Leo quickly run from the car and up to the door of the house.

I hammer on the door until it finally opens.

"Chance, for the love of all that is fucking holy have you never heard of the Sunday morning lie....."

I cut Officer Jordan off as me and Leo forced our way passed the human and into the house. With a look of confusion on his face, Officer Jordan looks to the street and sees the St. Bernard heading towards the door at full speed, he knows just from the Bernard's actions that he is what me and Leo were running from and so as quick as lightning he runs back inside and shuts and locks the door.

"Ok Chance, mind telling me what you have done to piss that huge St. Bernard off so badly?"

As Officer Jordan finishes his sentence there is the sound of more hammering on his door, I make my frightened reply.

"David, if you have a gun I suggest that you get it, you see the Fox sitting next to me is Leo, and the asshole that is hammering on your door is the one who used to be Leo's mate, and as you can see from some of the lifelong scars that he has, the relationship wasn't a loving one"

David runs to a locked gun cabinet and unlocks the door; he takes out a double barrelled shot gun and a handful of cartridges. He breaks the barrel of the gun open and loads two cartridges then heads towards the front door.

As he gets to the door he readies the gun to fire and then puts the security chain on the door. With the gun now ready and the chain in place he opens the door and pokes the barrel of the gun through the gap.

"Ok sir I should warn you that this gun is loaded and being an officer of the law I know how to use it, so I suggest that you calm down and then I will open the door fully"

Sensing the fact that he might get a bullet for his troubles the St. Bernard calmed down, with the dog now calm Officer Jordan opened the door fully but kept the shot gun trained on the St. Bernard, David continues to speak.

"Ok now that is much better, now I know that you want to get in here and maybe rip the heads off of a Fox and a Doberman, but you see we have a couple of problems with that, if you do rip their heads off, you would end up on death row like the Doberman used to be, the other problem concerns the gun, you see the Doberman just happens to be my friend, and the guy who saved my life and to see him hurt in anyway would give me an itchy trigger finger and I would fire the gun, now let me tell you from the distance that would be between us I wouldn't miss"

Whilst Officer Jordan was keeping the St. Bernard busy I had placed a call to the police, and in the background I can hear the wail of the sirens. Defeated the St. Bernard finally raises his paws and his head droops, he then speaks.

"Leonard, I know that our time together wasn't always the best and I realise now that I treated you like shit. I know that I hurt you badly, hell I wanted to do it again right up until I came face to face with a shot gun barrel, but I did love you in fact I still do, which is why I hope that you will believe me when I say that I hope that you both enjoy your new lives together and that you can actually say that you have now found true love"

As he finishes his sentence a police officer wraps his paws with a set of paw cuffs and slowly leads him to a waiting police car. With the St. Bernard back in custody Leo and I sit on the couch in Officer Jordan's front room, both of us still shaking. Now being a Doberman means that I can look after myself when it comes to a fight, but the sheer bulk of the St. Bernard was enough to make me think twice about taking him on, sure I had done it in the bar and had gotten away with it, but I doubt that I would have managed a second success against him.

Officer Jordan walks into the front room carrying three glasses of strong Brandy, he hands one each to me and Leo and keeps one for himself.

"Leo, Chance, get that Brandy down your necks, it will help ease your nerves"

We all down our Brandy and begin to relax; Officer Jordan now takes time to look over my new found mate.

"Well Chance, I'll say this for ya, you have very good taste when it comes to males, and I mean no offence when I say this, but I want you to promise me that you will protect this lovely looking young Fox"

Leo blushes heavily at the compliment as I make my reply.

"Don't worry David; I'm not going to let anything bad happen to the Fox that I love"

Leo lets out a gasp as he hears me use the word love, he then climbs into my lap and clings to my body, at this moment we are both shaking badly, but it has for obvious reasons affected Leo a lot more.

I again try to calm the Fox down and to a certain extent I manage to do so, but the fright of what has just taken place is going to take quite a while for any of us to get over. Leo shakily raises his head and looks deep into my eyes.

"Ch-Chance, I don't ever want to go through something like that again, I feel safe with you I really do, but I'm also scared that if I give myself fully to you that I will end up being treated like dirt and getting nothing but pain for my trouble, I can't go through that again so promise me that if we become fully mated I won't end up regretting my decision"

I take Leo's muzzle gently into my paw and lift it up slightly, I gently take him in a deep and gentle kiss, I feel his shaking body begin to calm, I then slowly pull away just leaving a small trail of saliva still connecting our muzzles, I then make my reply.

"Leo, trust me, I have lost four years of my life, and that is four years without a mate, I promise you this, when I finally mate with you I will, in the words of the traditional wedding vows, love honour and obey only you. I want to do this right so I only do it for love and trust"

With Leo now relatively calm he leans his head on my shoulder and slowly drifts off to sleep.
