As usual there was a bunch of junk mail. Christy was so bored; she read and deleted away, thenthere was a spam for a web cam chat room. She didn’...tknow why, but she clicked on it. She’d done the chatrooms before, and found them boring, full of assholesand perverts. She clicked on to the sight. It was free so she registered and put in all herinformation. There were lots of cams to choice from;men, women, couples and there was even one for “other,”whatever that. I felt Joe’s hand on my shoulder and even without his encouragement, I took a step back. “For a Weimaraner, Nero’s usually a pretty calm dog,” I heard and felt the breath of Joe’s words with my left ear.

He walked out into his living room and Tobin heard him rummaging about in a drawer. He returned with something in his hand, but all Tobin could do was stare in awe at the sight.
