Chapter Eleven

Friday May 26, 5:30 PM, Cindy Lake's house.

"So, Mr. Lake, I'm sure this is going to seem like a strange request, but, like, I'm kind of desperate here." David Barrett sat at the kitchen table in Cindy's house across from her father. He was wearing nice slacks, an ironed long sleeved shirt with a tie, and a sports coat. He fidgeted uncomfortably, but then caught himself and sat up straight. David's hair was carefully combed and his shoes were even shined. His friends would hardly have recognized him.

Cindy, who was standing in the hallway and peeking around the door frame to listen in on the conversation, thought David looked very handsome. But what was he doing here? Why did he suddenly show up to talk to her father?

"It's just that, well, after the incident with my folks - I suppose you read about that?" Cindy's father nodded solemnly. "The courts put my step-sister Jenny into foster care. It was awful for her. She's just seven and she's still really shocked and upset about her mother's death. I'm the only family she's got and we're real close. She means the world to me. Just yesterday I finally got the courts to let me have permanent custody of her. But I'm graduating tomorrow and I start a new job on Monday. Do you see my problem Mr. Lake?"

"Well, no, David, I'm very sorry for your loss, that was a terrible thing, but I can't quite say that I see what it is you're getting at. I don't really imagine there's any way I can help you, son. But what exactly is the problem?" Cindy's father was very patient with the young man who had shown up unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm making a mess out of this. I've got to take real good care of Jenny or they'll take her away from me. But I can't stay with her all the time, 'cause I've got to work a whole bunch. I've got a real good job, but I can't leave Jenny at home by herself. You gotta understand, Jenny can be a real, well, a real handful if you know what I mean. And she won't stay with anyone else, except, well, she said she'd stay with Cindy. Cindy sat with her a couple of times a ways back before, well, you know, before then. She really liked Cindy and she says she won't stay with anybody else. I'm really at the end of my rope, sir."

"You came here to ask if Cindy could take care of your step-sister? I'm amazed that a boy your age even knows Cindy."

"Oh, I've barely even seen Cindy, sir. It's just that, well, everybody says she's the best babysitter around. Besides, every time I bring it up Jenny just yells at me that she won't stay with anybody but Cindy. Jenny's really smart Mr. Lake, but she's got kind of a strong personality, if you know what I mean."

"Okay, I think I understand your situation a bit better, son, but I still don't see how I can help you out here. Mrs. Lake and I are heading for Europe on Sunday. I'll be studying the Dartford Warbler, you know, it's very rare. We'll be gone all summer." Mr. Lake took off his thick glasses and polished them with a cloth, then put them back on and looked up at David again. "I suppose if Cindy was here she could do some babysitting for you, if she wished, but you see, Cindy's heading off to summer camp. We couldn't leave her here by herself. She'll be upstate for the whole of the summer."

"Oh, man. Wow. I guess I'll just, well, I don't know. What am I gonna do?"

"Daddy?" Cindy took a tentative step into the kitchen.

"Oh, Cindy, there your are. Come here sweetie. This is David Barrett - I'm not sure you've met."

"Uh, oh, nice to meet you Mr. Barrett," Cindy said without looking into the handsome young man's face. "But daddy, can I say something?"

"Sure, sweetheart."

"I.. I... well, I think you should let me stay here and take care of Jenny."

"What? Cindy, what are you talking about. You're due at camp tomorrow. It's all arranged." Cindy's father was clearly shocked at the idea.

"But daddy, I don't really want to go to camp. And Jenny is a really special girl, daddy. She's so smart. You'd like her a lot, I'm sure. And I know she must be so unhappy after all the terrible things that happened. You should let me help her, daddy. Let me stay here and take care of her while Mr. Barrett goes to work." Cindy almost giggled when she said Mr. Barrett, and she couldn't look at David for fear of breaking into laughter. "Please daddy, I don't want to go to camp."

"Cindy, you can not possibly stay in this big house by yourself for a whole summer. It's impossible."

"Uh, Mr. Lake?"

"Yes, David?"

"Well, uh, I know it's kind of odd, but, well, couldn't Cindy stay with us this summer? I mean, Jenny would love it. Cindy could be sort of a live-in babysitter for the summer and then you wouldn't have to worry about her."

"You mean like an au pair. Hmm, that's an interesting notion. I had an au pair when I was a boy, rather liked her, Scottish girl I think. But I don't know, Cindy's a bit young."

"Oh daddy, please. I really hate camp. If I work for Mr. Barrett then I can save some money and maybe learn to cook some, too. Then I could help mommy out when you get back. And Jenny is such a sweet girl, daddy, I just can't stand the thought of her being sad all summer."

"But Cindy, dear, we barely know David. No offense Mr. Barrett, but I've only just this minute met you. How can I know that Cindy is safe in your house?"

"Daddy, how can you say that? Didn't they just give David custody of Jenny? They wouldn't do that unless they were sure that he's a very responsible man, would they? So it must be okay."

"Well, you have a point there, Cindy. But I don't know, somehow it all seems a bit, well." Cindy's father was a kind man, but he was a distracted academic and a complete pushover for his only daughter. He stood no chance against the pleading look on her face. "Oh, alright, alright. If Mr. Barrett here promises to be extremely responsible, then you can be au pair to his step sister for the summer."

Cindy squealed with delight, but only for a second. She bit her pretty lip to control her emotions.

"Oh, Mr. Lake, thank you, thank you! I promise, you won't regret it. We'll take great care of Cindy and my sister will be so happy." David wanted to sweep Cindy into his arms, but he, too, had to control his soaring emotions. "You have no idea what this means to me, to both of us."

Sunday, May 28, 11:00 AM, David and Jenny Barrett's house.

"Cindy!!!"

Cindy dropped her suitcase inside the door. She wrapped her arms around Jenny as Jenny nearly knocked her to the floor with her enthusiastic welcome. David stepped through the door behind her and smiled at the sight of Cindy and his step-sister entwined together.

"Oh Cindy, I missed you so much. Kiss me, kiss me now!"

Cindy shivered. She understood a lot of things now, things she could never have imagined were true a few weeks ago. The tone of confidence, control and dominance that Jenny could put into her demands was amazing and, for Cindy, intoxicating. Every time it gave her a thrill of sexual excitement. She knew this, she was frightened by it, and she loved it. Cindy didn't hesitate to lean down and kiss her domineering little friend. She had been dreaming about this moment for weeks. The two girls kissed passionately, like long lost lovers.

"Hey, what about me?" David broke in after giving the girls some time.

Cindy and Jenny broke off their kiss and embrace and Cindy turned to face the tall young man she had come to live with for the summer. He lifted off her feet, crushed her small body to his chest, and they kissed just as passionately as Cindy had kissed Jenny.

"Ooh, Cindy, you haven't seen King yet!"

Jenny ran towards the kitchen to retrieve her great canine friend. Cindy reluctantly let off kissing David as Jenny returned with the huge white dog, who limped badly in his back left leg.

"Oh my god, King!" Cindy ran to the dog and threw her arms around his thick neck. "You poor baby. You're hurt."

"He's okay Cindy," Jenny told her. "But the vet said he's always going to have a pretty bad limp. His leg was broken in three places. They had to put pins in to hold it together, but David made sure they took really good care him. Didn't you David?"

David patted the big dog affectionately. "Hell yes, he's a hero."

"Oh King, I'm so sorry about your leg, but I'll make it up to you, I promise."

King tilted his head to the side for a moment and stared deeply into Cindy's dark blue eyes, and then he licked her, right on the lips. Cindy giggled loudly and then she kissed the huge dog back, entwining her tongue with his. They kissed and kissed.

"Gee you two, get a room!" Jenny and David said at the same time and then they all burst out laughing.

"Oh gosh, I almost forgot," Jenny said. "Cindy, we've got a surprise for you."

Cindy rose from the floor as David disappeared into the kitchen. She heard the door to the back yard opening. Five seconds later a streak of black and white bounded into the living room. "Prince!" Cindy exclaimed in surprise. Prince was practically trembling with excitement as he rose up on his back legs and hooked his front paws over her shoulders. Cindy didn't hesitate to kiss the pretty Border Collie and as she did the excited dog's red cock quickly peeked out of its furry sheath, causing Jenny to giggle.

Cindy looked up into four sets of happy, excited eyes - the eyes of the wonderful people and dogs she'd come to live with for the summer - and her tight little cunny spasmed with anticipation. But she had no idea what was going to happen next.

Sunday, May 28, 11:30 AM, the home of David and Jenny Barrett - and Cindy Lake.

Everyone was tentative at first, each afraid to be the first one to suggest anything more intimate than kissing, despite the universal intensity of longing for the pretty little girl who stood there, waiting. Jenny and David exchanged glances; King and Prince exchanged glances, but no one made a move to break the awkward tension. Had Cindy really come to them for what they all hoped for?

Not surprisingly, it was Jenny who decided to take charge. She started by conducting a little experiment. She put on her bossiest voice, put a displeased scowl on her face and placed her hands on her hips in an aggressive posture. "Cindy," Jenny demanded, "take your clothes off, all of them. Right now."

Jenny and David both watched Cindy's reaction closely. The preteen gasped slightly and her eyes got a little bit bigger behind her glasses. She looked from Jenny to David and then she blushed, strongly, and both of her friends saw the shiver of pleasure that cascaded across her small body. And then, without a single word, Cindy rose and slowly, methodically removed her shapeless clothing: the bulky blouse, the long heavy skirt, her shoes and her socks and, finally, her underpants. Her magnificent small body was on display for the four companions she was destined to live with and pleasure for the next three months. The ice was broken.

"Oh, Cindy, you're so pretty." Jenny sighed, staring at her friend. "Come with me!" Jenny led Cindy down the hall into her bedroom and closed the door behind them.

King, David and the Border Collie weren't happy to see the two girls disappear, but at least the ice was broken and Jenny had clearly established that this was going to be more than just a living and babysitting arrangement. Soon, even through the closed door, all the way in the living room, they could hear squealing and giggling from Jenny’s room.

Ten minutes later the squealing and giggling stopped. King’s head rose up from the floor where he lay next to David. Suddenly, they all heard Jenny’s door crack open. Prince cocked his ears forward in anticipation.

“Prince!! Here boy,” Jenny called from down the hall. The mischievous dog didn’t need to be asked twice - he bounded down the hallway, a streak of black and white fur.

“Huh, I guess we’ll just have to wait our turn, old fellow,” David said as he scratched King behind the ear. They heard Jenny’s door close again and more giggles and squeals were close behind.

Behind the closed door, on Jenny's bed, Cindy's happily buried her tongue back deep in little Jenny's cunny again. The younger girl went back to squealing with pleasure as she thrashed on top of Cindy, straddling the older child’s face and arching her back to press her cunny down hard against Cindy's lips and probing tongue.

But Jenny had wanted to make sure her friend, no, her lover, was as excited and aroused and happy as she was. So she’d invited the medium sized dog to come take care of Cindy’s needy little cunny while Cindy took care of hers. That's why Cindy was draped over the edge of Jenny's bed, on her back, with her legs dangling down to the floor. Her legs were spread wide and the eager dog was enthusiastically invading Cindy's hot little cunny with his strong, rough tongue. Jenny twisted to look over her shoulder, curious to see the doggy in action, and the sight of what he was doing to Cindy, making Cindy tremble and flail, enflamed Jenny’s desires.

"Oh, Cindy, Cindy," Jenny cried out - close to cumming on her friend's clever tongue. She instinctively rotated her little hips forward and back on Cindy's tongue and the feeling was driving her mad. Perhaps that was why Jenny decided she was brave enough to take the next step. "Oh, Cindy, I want to know, I want to know what it feels like! Can I? Oh, Cindy, help me! Do it, Cindy, help me."

Cindy grabbed Jenny's thin body and pushed her sopping cunny away from her face. "Oh god, Jenny - are you sure?"

"Yes! Cindy! Help me," Jenny demanded - and Jenny's demands were not something Cindy could ignore.

The dog still busily tongued Cindy's pussy as she helped Jenny slide down her body, leaving a trail of her cunny juices down Cindy's chest. Jenny lay flat on top of Cindy, trembling with excited fear, but Cindy pulled her into a tight embrace and reassured her with a loving kiss. They were still kissing hard when Prince noticed the delicious odor of a second excited girl-bitch pussy. His long rough tongue slipped up through Cindy's cunny, but then he raised his head to find the new, delectable smell. Prince had To jump half way up onto the bed, between Cindy’s thin legs, to get to the delicious taste of the seven-year-old’s juicy cunt. Jenny screamed, breaking off her kiss with Cindy, but she didn't pull away from Prince. She just held Cindy tighter and opened her legs wider to give the Border Collie better access to her sensitive nether lips.

"Oh Cindy! Cindy! His tongue is so rough. And it's so big. Ohhhh! Oh Cindy, it isn't scary at all. It's... it's... oh, oh ohhhhhhh!" Jenny was quickly carried away into a land of orgasmic bliss as Prince expertly explored every square millimeter of her tiny, virgin cunny. And all the while, Prince’s furry stomach rubbed hard against Cindy’s pussy and clit. She too, was just as lost in that same land of pleasure. The two dreamy little girls went back to passionate kissing as their bestial playmate kept their climaxes driving to greater and greater heights.

But it wasn't that easy for Prince to keep his tongue buried in Jenny's twat. He was half up on the bed between Cindy’s legs, but he had to crane his neck forward at an awkward angle to enjoy the taste of the younger girls pussy. Besides - Prince was well aware of the joy of little girl-bitch mating - and he was more than ready to give it another go. His hot red cock was already dangling dangerously, mostly out of its furry sheath, sending jet after jet of hot precum at Cindy’s bare cunny. But he loved the taste of the smaller girl. Prince leapt onto the bed and grabbed at Jenny’s waist.

Suddenly the weight pressing Cindy down into Jenny's mattress doubled. Her eyes snapped open. She saw several frightening things at once. She saw the look of terror on Jenny's pretty face. She saw the drooling maw of a big black and white Border Collie over Jenny's shoulder. She saw the way the dog was gripping little Jenny from behind. "Oh god, no!"

"Cindy, no, no!" Jenny wailed. "Cindy, help!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

But it was no use. The little girl, straddled on top of Cindy, was perfectly positioned and her pussy was perfectly lubricated and ready. Prince humped his back and pulled hard at her waist with his strong front paws. Cindy, crushed under the weight of dog and girl, was helpless to prevent the dog's carnal intentions.

"Aaaaagggghhhhhh!" Jenny screamed as Prince’s sharp, scarlet dog-cock thrust through her pussy lips and rammed through her hymen, shattered the fragile membrane and introduced the child once and forever to the wonders of mating. In less than a second the horny dog was fucking his new girl-bitch like a jack hammer.

The door to Jenny's bedroom burst open and David bolted into the room. Taking in the insane scene at a glance - his little stepsister on top of Cindy, being raped by the black and white dog- he rushed towards Jenny's side to help pull the brutish canine off of her.

"No, no, no!" Jenny said, waving one arm wildly at her approaching stepbrother. "David... no... go away, go away!” Jenny was almost as red with embarrassment at her stepbrother’s presence as the red of the dog’s rapidly swelling cock. “Go away! Oh, oh, oh, OH, OH! OOOHHHHH!"

David did as he was bid, backpedaling out of the room and dragging an excited King with him. He couldn’t believe he’d just seen his little stepsister getting thoroughly, deeply fucked - by a dog. She was going to be a terror about it later!

Jenny continued to scream and moan as the dog fucked her, but her tight little cunny had been so well prepared by Cindy, and she’d already been so high on orgasmic bliss when the dog attacked her - in seconds she was back in that land of incredible pleasure, climbing even higher. She couldn’t help herself, she quivered with ecstatic pleasure and she kissed Cindy once again, even as Prince slammed deep inside her and his knot swelled to the size of a racquet ball. He whined his pleasure and his balls emptied a huge amount of thin, warm dog-cum into Jenny’s throbbing, stuffed twat.

Sunday, May 28, 1:30 PM, the home of David and Jenny Barrett - and Cindy Lake.

It was two hours before a naked and somewhat disheveled Cindy Lake staggered out of Jenny’s bedroom, alone. She swept her long beautiful hair back and caught site of David, waiting nervously for her on the sofa, with King resting patiently at his feet.

David stood and began to stammer. "Cindy... I... It's okay if you don't ... You probably don't want..."

But the young man couldn't finish, for the beautiful preteen in front of him gasped and rushed up to take his face in her hands, then pulled it down to kiss her, again. When he lifted her into his arms she wrapped her legs and around his torso and her arms around his neck.

"Is... is Jenny okay?" David asked, breaking off their kiss.

"I think so," Cindy whispered and nuzzled against David's throat, hugging him tight. "She was crying for awhile, after, well, you know - but it wasn't because of Prince. I think she's still upset. Her mother... But I held her and... Oh, David. She's asleep now." Cindy kissed the side of David's neck and enjoyed the way she made him shiver. "You should see them. She's sound asleep, with Prince."

Thirty seconds later David was back on the sofa. His slacks and boxers were gone and Cindy straddled his lap, back to kissing him with a desperation he'd never experienced before. He moaned when she broke off the kiss to reach down and grasp his throbbing erection in her tiny hand.

"Oh gosh!" Cindy couldn't help gasping out. "David, it's so big. It's... it's..." But she trailed away as she fit the head of his cock into her tight, wet cunt.

"Cindy! Are you sure... Oh, jesus! Yes. Oh!"

Cindy Lake slid her incredibly tight little cunny down over David's hungry dick. She loved the way he moaned and the look of sheer pleasure he gave her. She'd dreamed of this moment over and over and could hardly believe that it was actually happening. The potential consequences of what she was doing never occurred to her - she never thought that this was actually the first time she'd had the cock of a man in her little pussy, that there were dangers involved in letting a man spurt his seed into her potentially fertile little womb. Cindy just wanted David to grab her by the hips and thrust his hard cock deeper and deeper, harder and harder, to control her and fuck her and... "Ohhhhh! David, David, yessss!" Cindy cried out as she climaxed on the young man's thick cock.

Fucking Cindy Lake, the real Cindy Lake, was better than any girl David had ever been with.

Sunday, May 28, 2:30 PM, the home of David and Jenny Barrett - and Cindy Lake.

King was a patient beast, but there were limits to his patience. It was time for the little girl-bitch to remember who she’d really come to live with. After all, wasn’t King the male who first mated her, first taught her the joy of submission, first dominated her to her full satisfaction?

The huge white dog rose from the floor and padded softly to the sofa where the lovely smelling girl-bitch had fallen asleep, curled in the boy’s lap like a cat. King hated cats, but a cat never smelled like Cindy, like the tastiest, most enticing sex. And there was the source of the delectable girl-bitch smell, still glistening from two long hard fucks from the boy. But he was just a boy - time to remind the girl-bitch of what a real alpha was all about. King pressed his cold, wet nose into Cindy’s unprotected little cunny and slurped through her lips with his strong, rough tongue.

“Aaaaggghhh!” Cindy screamed, waking instantly. She convulsed in surprise and tumbled to the floor.

“Hey, King cut it...” David began to yell.

But Cindy cut David off. “Oh! King, King, do you think I forgot you? I could never.” She threw her arms around the big dog’s neck and pulled tight. “Oh you poor thing!”

But King had no interest in being a 'poor thing.’ King was the alpha. King wanted his little bitch to submit. He’d given her more than enough time! The huge dog snarled, a low, angry growl, and his lip quivered upwards, revealing long, sharp canine teeth.

The transformation in little Cindy Lake was instantaneous. The dog’s demanding growl cut through her mind and set her to shivering in anticipation. Her pussy spammed violently, urging her to action. “Oh god, yes, yes King!” the child said and the she turned away from him, taking her expected position on all fours and presenting her tingling, fragrant cunt for his pleasure.

“No, Cindy, you don’t have to...” David started.

“Yes, yes, King” Cindy squealed, ignoring David’s words. She wiggled her perfect ass and looked back over her shoulder to the handsome dog. “Oh, oh god, yes!” She screamed as King’s tongued slashed up deep into her trembling pussy.

The girl-bitch tasted of sex and lust and fear, even a hint of King’s little mistress peppered her flavor. But King was done with patience and his taste was ready for something more aggressive. She was already ready for him! And the way her little ass quivered before him was intoxicating. Now, now, now his canine instincts insisted.

Cindy grunted loudly as the huge dog landed on her back and took control of her waist with his strong forelegs. She strained her arms to hold up his weight but she knew she had to. She had no choice. Her master, her alpha, was demanding it. And she wanted him, she wanted him so much... “oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhhh!”

It was so incredibly satisfying to hear the little girl-bitch grunting and screaming in time with his fast, vicious thrusts. Her pussy was so tight. Her submission was so complete. Her fear and pleasure were so exciting. King was only a dog, but even a dog could tell that there was never a better fuck in the world than the little girl-bitch in his clutches. He slammed forward into her again and again and reveled in the swelling of his massive cock. He didn’t care that his injured leg was screaming in pain. King’s entire world, in that moment, was his Cindy, his girl-bitch and her magnificent tight cunt.

Cindy screamed as King rammed his fast-swelling knot through her sensitive opening, again and again. Mercifully, he slammed deep inside her and the knot swelled to its final, massive size - far too big to squeeze through her young pussy. She felt so full, so used, so dominated, so fulfilled - so loved. Her orgasm spread through her body and mind as the dog’s copious hot cum spilled into her insides.

Sunday, May 28, 6:00 PM, the home of David and Jenny Barrett - and Cindy Lake.

Cindy sat at the kitchen table across from David, with Jenny sitting close by her side. King was curled up on his bed in the corner, getting a well-deserved rest. Prince lay between the two girls, with his chin resting on Jenny’s foot. Cindy, David and Jenny sipped hot cocoa.

Cindy was exhausted, but she glowed with love and affection and she had never been so happy in her life. She was exhausted from hours of non-stop sex with her four lovers.

But now, temporarily sated, they sat around the kitchen table to talk.

"It was Jenny's idea you know," David said. "Asking your dad if you could babysit for the summer. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when he answered the door at your house and I had to actually talk to him."

"Oh, Jenny, you are so smart." Cindy hugged Jenny and kissed her quickly on the lips. "I'm so glad that you had enough courage David. I don't think I could have survived another week without you, much less a whole summer. Every day, I just felt like I was going to die. But I still don't know what happened that night. I don’t remember anything past driving away from that awful house.”

"Yeah, it was all pretty crazy. I drove back here as fast I could and I dropped you and Jenny here. I went as fast as I could to the emergency vet over on Elm. I hated to do it, but I had to leave him there. Jenny had you cleaned up, mostly, by the time I got back. You were still in shock, I think, you hardly seemed to know where you were."

"Yeah, Cindy, you wouldn't talk at all. But you did whatever I told you, like a robot or something. It was weird."

Cindy smiled. "I guess I just like doing what you tell me, Jenny."

Jenny giggled, "I know."

"Oh, don't you two start again, Jesus."

"Okay, David, don't worry. What happened then?"

"Well, we knew the cops were going to come at some point. I mean, they had to, right? Jenny made a nest for you in the closet, to hide you, and we put you there and you went right to sleep. Then the cops came about an hour later. They were like all weird and Jenny and I had to act like we didn't know what was going on. They were here for ages and then the social services people came and took Jenny away. I didn't see her again for three days. It was awful. They tried to get me to go with them too, but I'm an adult and I told them no. Besides, I couldn't leave you. When they were finally gone it was about three in the morning. It took me another half an hour to get that stupid collar off your neck. Then I picked you up and put you in the car. I could just barely carry you, but you never even woke up. Your parents were sound asleep and I carried you up and put you in your bed. Somebody had put plastic up over your broken window. Sorry about that. But I put your laptop back too."

"It was you who broke my window?"

"Oh, yeah, that's how I got in to steal your laptop. That's how Jenny figured out where you were."

"My daddy was furious for days. But nothing was missing, so he got over it eventually. I'm sure glad he didn't figure out it was you."

"Me too. Anyway, after I took you home I decided I had to go to the hospital. I drove over to Jackson, 'cause I didn't want the local police to know I was hurt. It would look too suspicious. I had two broken ribs and the doc said I was lucky they hadn't punctured a lung. It hurt like hell, still hurts some but it'll be okay soon. They wrapped me up and sent me home. King was at the vet's for about a week. And I started trying to get them to let me have Jenny, but they wouldn't for a long time. I had to hire a lawyer and everything. Finally there was a coroner's inquest. They ruled that Randy had killed Lisa in an insane rage and she had killed him in self defense. They never seemed to figure out that anybody else was there, which seemed kind of strange. Maybe they just didn't care."

"Oh god, David, it must have been awful."

"It was okay, I just really missed you and Jenny. It was so frustrating that they wouldn't let me bring Jenny home, but once the inquest was over they didn't have any choice. You see, my dad formally adopted Jenny just after he and Lisa got married, about two years ago. So that means Jenny and I are legally related. They had to give her to me, 'cause I'm technically an adult. So I got her back, and as soon as I did, she figured out how to get you back too."

"David, tell her the other part, you know."

"Oh, yeah. You know that laptop, the one from the house?"

Cindy drew in a quick breath of air. "How could I forget it?"

"Well, there was a bunch of stuff on there. It looks like Annie's dad, Jim Turner, he was in on the whole deal. But the thing is, he's the only other one who knew anything about you and he's in jail for like twenty years or something. We're not sure why, but we think he did something to Annie, 'cause Annie and her mom moved away. Anyway, it means that you don't have to worry about anyone, Cindy. There's nobody who can hurt you now. Linda Simms sure as hell isn't going to."

"Yeah, Cindy, everything is fine. There's nothing to worry about and you get to live with us for the whole summer. And maybe I can find some way for you to live with us forever." Jenny hugged Cindy one more time and Cindy hugged her back.

“But, how did Prince end up here?” Cindy asked.

“Oh, yeah,” David said. “So, like, when Jim Turner got busted Prince got left behind. I guess Jim’s dumb wife didn’t want him, and after a few days she was gonna leave town anyway. She hadn’t even heard the news about our folks, so she called over here for Lisa’s help. I couldn’t stand the idea of what she might do with him so I went and got him.”

“I’m so glad you did,” Cindy said and she reached down to scratch the pretty dog behind the ear.

“Me too,” Jenny said and then she blushed terribly before she and Cindy both giggled.

David ignored the giggling. “There's just one problem." He looked down into his cocoa, forlorn.

"What?"

"Money, that's what. As in, we don't have any. It looks like Randy mostly emptied out the little bit of savings they had to buy a bunch of camera and computer equipment, and to rent that house. There's only about a thousand dollars left. But the mortgage is due next week, there's a big vet bill, an emergency room bill and I owe that lawyer about two thousand bucks. Just paying the utilities and buying food would be hard enough. My job starts on Monday, but it won't pay enough. I'm gonna have to get another job. I feel like I'm never going to be home. At least you four can be together."

"Jeez David, you didn't tell me about all that," Jenny complained.

Cindy sat silently for a moment, her brow furrowed in deep thought. She seem to shrink into herself and she trembled for a moment as she made a decision. But then she looked up into David's beautiful blue eyes. "David," Cindy spoke, but barely above a whisper. She glanced at Jenny for courage and then looked back at David. "You don't have to get another job. You don't even have to keep the one you've got, if you don't want to."

"But Cindy, we need the money."

Cindy's voice dropped to a hesitant whisper. "You can get lots of money. It's okay, I don't mind. You can sell the movie."

"What? You mean the movie on the laptop. Oh, no, Cindy, we couldn't. I've seen the movie."

"But David," Cindy's voice grew stronger as her conviction grew. "Lisa told me. She said all she had to do was send the movie to the right people and they'd get three hundred thousand dollars for it. That's a lot of money David. You wouldn't have to work if you had that money, you could stay with us this summer. We could do stuff and always be together. Wouldn't you like that?"

"God, no, Cindy! I mean, of course I want to be with you - all the time. But the movie, Cindy, if anybody around here saw it, they'd know it was you. I couldn't do that to you, I just couldn't."

"I know David." Cindy dropped her eyes to her lap. "But it's the only way. I want you. I want to be with you more than I'm afraid of people knowing about me. You have to sell the movie. It's the only way."

"David, if Cindy says it's okay, then I think you should do it." Jenny started off seriously. "And with the money we could get Cindy's hair cut different, and get her some contacts and maybe some decent clothes. Wouldn't you like to see Cindy in different clothes, something prettier or sexier, at least when she's wearing clothes." At that crack Jenny giggled and so did Cindy, but then she got serious again. "Then she wouldn't look so much like the movie and people who saw the movie wouldn't recognize her - at least most of them. It wouldn't be so bad."

"Oh, David, that's a good idea. Please, David, you have to sell the movie. I need you. We need you. I want to be with you."

"Damn it! Okay. If Jenny can figure out where to send it, then we'll sell the movie. She can probably figure it out from that damn laptop. Man, three hundred thousand dollars, that's a lot of money."

"Oh! We're going to be so happy together." Jenny squealed with delight. "Let's celebrate."

"Yeah, let's celebrate," David smiled.

Cindy just looked from one to the other expectantly, clearly enjoying her new role - the girl who did what she was told, no matter what.

"I know Cindy," Jenny looked excited. "You know we all four love you, right?"

"Oh yes, Jenny, I do. And I love all four of you too. So much."

"Good. Let me just run and get some rope, then we'll see if you can 'love' us all four at the same time. Won't that be fun?"

Cindy just shivered, and smiled.
