Conversations With Donna Chapter 4 free porn video

Pool Party 2

Two weeks later, Saturday dawned bright and clear. Donnie brought word that Callie, Amy's daughter, had told him that Rob was tossing one last party for the season. She thought for just one second and smiled at Suzi. "Wanna meet some folks?"

"Are you sure?" Suzi sad slightly nervously.

Donna smiled, "You aren't some dirty little secret, Suz, never that!"

Suzi smiled a little less nervously when the phone rang.

"Hi, Jess," Donna said. Suzi's ears perked up at the mention of her boss.

"Yea, we heard."

"That's great. We'll see you there."

"Change of plans, D?"

"No, Jess and Wit are going over to Rob's as well. Won't this be fun; some folks are going to freak." She grinned in anticipation.

"How come?"  Suzi thought some might as well, but didn’t grin. Did Donna know about Jess?

"Since Elise passed away, some of the neighborhood widows and divorcees have been eyeing Wit. I'm glad to see him with Jess instead of some of the harpies we have around here. Let's go, I want to be there when they show."

The party paused when Donna introduced Suzi around. It was unusual for her to bring anyone over. There were a few eyebrows raised as Donna referred to her as 'her girlfriend', but nothing overt was said.

Then the party paused for a long moment, not for food this time either, but because Wit came by, which was unusual. He hadn't been out of the house much since beautiful Elise passed away well over a year now. But he wasn't the show-stopper, his new girlfriend was and she was enough to stop airplanes in mid-flight. Donna had a ringside seat and loved the reaction. Wit introduced her around and a few of the divorced ladies were seriously unhappy.

Donna knew Jess was gorgeous, but she outdid herself today. Taller than Suzi and shapelier, killer hips in a pair of cut-off shorts and a bikini top that barely restrained her breasts. It was her smile that really caught you, a hint of mischievousness like she knew exactly how she impacted people! They joined the fun and she fit in well, even if a few of the women were green-eyed.

Suzi and Jessie obviously knew each other and the sight of them hugging was enough to send most of the guys to a corner to make an adjustment in their shorts. Tracy came over, bearing a load of steaks she had been marinating in some secret sauce for Rob. She was fully decked out for the pool and joined the kids, Amy, and Brenda in a little splashing around. She was watched with great care by a number of eyes when it was discovered that she was living next door and Joanie and John had moved. Donna was surprised at that, more so than the rest.

The next to arrive was a friend of Donnie's, no surprise there. She pulled her mom along, Cary. Cary was one of the ones Donna was worried about seeing. She figured prominently in a few of Joanie's video files but taken only from within her own bedroom. 'At least fuck-up Frank wasn't involved,' Donna thought.

Just before dinner, Rob was downstairs putting together a huge salad when Donna came in alone. Everyone was out by the pool with Benda and Dave watching the meat cooking on the BBQ's.

"So Joan and John have moved out. Tracy moved in rather quick," Donna commented.to Rob.

"Yup, that she did."

"Do you know if she is renting from them, or did they sell?"

"I'm pretty sure they sold it. Why?" Rob looked at Donna, a little curious at her questions.

"Just wondering, I wanted to talk to Joan about something."

"Well," Rob thought before he spoke. "I don't have a forwarding number or address for them. Trace did mention she had returned some mail to the post office."

"Really? So they moved without forwarding their mail? That's unusual. Remember the talk we had about her a couple of weeks back?"

"Yea, but you didn't really tell me much more than I already knew," Rob replied.

"You did? I always thought you and Brenda were pretty heavy with Joan and John?"

"We were, but some of their activities weren't a good fit."

Suzi came down looking for Donna. She stopped at the top of the stairs and listened for a moment, then came down and asked, "Donna, can I get your keys to go get a shirt, should I bring something for you and the kids?"

"If you don't mind, just a top to help stay warm. That brick BBQ is great for warming people up," Donna replied.

"OK, and while you are at it, tell Rob what's going on."

"What?"

"If he isn't a straight shooter, you can kill me. I have just spent the entire day enjoying myself with all of your friends and the one constant in this universe over here is Rob, trust him! Jessie and Wit say so too," Suzi added.

Rob looked on in surprise when Suzi kissed Donna is a very not-just-friends way and scampered back up the stairs.

"Relax, Donna, I already guessed she was more than just a friend. Just don't let Frank find out. She seems a good person, and so does Wit's new girlfriend. So what's going on?"

"This might take more than a few minutes. It's about Frank and involved Joan and John as well. Can you and Brenda come over after the party breaks up so Suzi and I can talk to you about it? Wit and Jess will be there as well.

Rob paused and then said, "Sure, but can you satisfy some of my curiosity?"

"Did you know they," Donna nodded her head toward Joan and John's house, "were selling porn videos of sex acts caught on tape from people in the neighborhood?"

"Videos for sale?"

"Yea. I noticed one had a guy that looked like Frank and when Suzi showed it to me, it was Frank and others. I am sure John and Joan were running things."

"I wouldn't be surprised. They were also running a porn website that caters to all sorts of people."

"Yea, Suzi showed me the link. You said 'were'?" Donna asked.

"It is down, we made sure of it."

"We?" Donna said with one eyebrow raised, "I think you have a few pieces of the puzzle I’ve been working on with Suzi. Let's see, my guess is You, Brenda, Amy, and Dave are your team?"

"With a couple more. I might bring Amy or Dave with me tonight. It might be late; this party shows little sign of ending early."

"Late is OK because I doubt anyone will be leaving too soon. You pull together the most incredible parties, little to no notice and there's a crowd. How the hell do you do it?"

"It's easy, invite the kids and the adults follow! Most of them are good folks," Rob said.

"I know, most are. The bad apples usually stay away, at least the worst ones. I remember Sylvia only coming over once, but Frank on the other hand?"

"Yea, Frank. Well, you got rid of him finally. Why don't we adjourn this talk until later and enjoy ourselves."

About 9 PM the party broke up. It wasn't as late as the usual summer party, but this late in the season it got chilly earlier. By 10 the council convened at Donna's, they sat around her family room. Her kids were in bed, exhausted but happy! Aim joined them, leaving their kids with Dave, who dialed in on Rob's cell phone. Rob and Brenda were there, but what caught Donna's eye was that Tracy leaned on Rob as much as Aim leaned on Brenda. There was a dynamic here she needed to think about. Jessie and Wit were also present, as was Suzi — of course. She put on a pot of coffee while everyone relaxed a little.

"Since I called this little get-together, I guess I should start," Donna said. "Frank has been bugging me again, but I might have a way to deal with him." She put some of the movies on the table. "John and Joan had formed a production company and were marketing some amateur porn videos and magazines under the name J&J. I spotted a porn actor that looked a lot like Frank. When we viewed it, I knew it was Frank. We did some digging and discovered that the porno was part of a series and many of its stars were people from our neighborhood. Jess found out the company seemed to be out of business and the website was off the air. I'm not sure what it all means, but Suzi thinks you, Rob, are the one person who I needed to talk to."

William actually spoke up first. "Actually before Rob gets into anything, I have a couple of things to add. A couple of years ago, Joan asked Amy Stone to audit her security for her website. When she saw the contents she demurred. She's not against it, but I think she saw more than Joan wanted her to see and decided to not get involved. She told Elise about it, but that was literally a few weeks before her accident. She forgot about it until I emailed her to ask if she was aware of anything. She didn't know about the videos or print publication, just the website."

Rob continued the narrative, "Well, we didn't know about them selling videos. But we did get a line on their business methodology. Joan and John used blackmail to force many of the people they knew to submit to their games. Some were willing; we think Frank was one of those. They went after Amy and Dave and we busted them up. They moved and shut down the website because of us. I don't know where they are now, but they seem to be trying to avoid having to deal with a great many refund requests."

"Blackmail, how?" Donna asked.

Rob explained, "They set up a bunch of cameras around their property and they would automatically record anything they saw. They also seeded the woods behind their property with mics and cams. It seems Frank or Sylvia would lure someone down there, get them on tape, and once they had them, they owned them. Joanie was big into domination and control."

Dave spoke up from the phone. "And not just their property. We think they put cams in various houses because we looked at a lot of their material and were surprised at where some of the 'action' was taking place. Show them the book, Rob."

Rob took out a printed stack of paper bound by a large clip. "We used some software and have pics of the faces of everyone involved. We have names for about half. Some of our neighbors have been doing some pretty interesting things, but we have no way of knowing who was being blackmailed and who was willingly involved."

Donna thumbed through the book. She stopped at a pic of her in bed. "Where the hell did that come from?"

"From their database."

"You captured all their stuff?"

"Well we didn't exactly capture it; we kinda—sorta took it over. It was the only way to find out what they had and how they were using it."

Wit laughed hard, "You hacked them?"

Rob looked down. Tracy spoke up, "He sure as hell did. And when we confronted them, Amy here slapped Joan down to her knees. Rob and Dave bought their house and all the computer equipment and I live there now."

"So how did you get involved in all this?" Suzi asked Tracy.

"They needed a fresh face, someone Joan wouldn't know, to join the website and see what was what. I was already a friend of Amy's, so it was a good fit."

"Friend, sure!" Jessie said.

"No need to go there. Yes, we are friends, close friends. But that is neither here nor there in this story. So where do we go from here?"

Donna looked thoughtful, "My main goal is to deal with Frank... OMG!"

“What?" Suzi asked, looking worried at her reaction.

Jessie spoke up. "I was wondering if that was going to occur to you."

"You knew?"

"Just now, from the camera angle."

"Fuck, there was a camera in the ceiling of my bedroom!"

"What do you mean was?" Suzi added, "You mentioned Frank mouthing off and suggesting things. What if he saw?"

"Oh shit!"

Suzi took charge a little, as Donna appeared to be in shock. “Rob, can you check the master bedroom, probably in the ceiling fan from the angle of the picture.”

"Sure, but that might tip Frank off. How about I check first? If he is tapping in, it's probably remote. It doesn't take much to set up a webcam and broadcast it locally. Where is the attic access?"

Donna's eyes focused with an intensity no one had ever seen. "Upstairs, I'll show you."

As they left the room Amy commented, "I always thought Donna would make a really bad enemy, now I know it. That look in her eyes bodes all sorts of evil things for Frank and if you think me hitting Joan was good, if she was in the room right now, I think that look would have burnt the bitch to a crisp.

Upstairs Donna led Rob to a small closet. In the ceiling was the attic access, complete with a folding ladder. Rob led the way and the two of them crawled through the attic. On one side was a small box with wires leading off. A quick tug and the cover came off revealing something Donna didn't recognize.

"It's a wireless router," Rob explained.

"A what?"

A wireless router, it means anyone with a wireless receiver could be getting a signal from about several hundred feet away, maybe a little longer if it in direct sight of the antenna. I bet if we look outside we'll see a small wire running flush with the roof. And I bet this cable goes through the wall and down to your ceiling fan."

"Could there be more in the house?" Donna asked.

"Maybe, but there is only one wire leading away like that. The other connection looks like power, so it's probably the only one."

"What about wireless?”

“I don’t think he tapped your Internet service, you might have noticed that. Plus if you changed your router password, you would have locked him out,” Rob said.

“Still, he's been spying on me all this time?"

"Probably, we found several videos of you sleeping and you and Frank in bed. There was one other thing. Joanie was hoping you would do something she could use. She wanted you as another victim."

"I can't fucking believe this. I never warmed to her because of her big mouth, but this... this is criminal!" Donna exclaimed.

"Yea."

"You knew about this, Rob!"

"Only recently, Joan went after Dave and Aim. Her plan was to turn Dave into a toy for John and Aim into one for herself. Donna, we have no way of knowing what was gotten legally or illegally. We just saw the video clips the other day of you."

"So you watched them?" Donna asked.

"Yes, and Tracy was mighty taken with you."

"I am already taken, thank you!"

"Suzi seems great. Good for you both!" Rob said.

"And you, you bastard. If my eyes were reading things right, you have gotten pretty sexed up yourself!"

"It just happened, not because of Joan and John. We just happened," added Rob.

"You are a bastard!" She said with a laugh near her usual humor. Then she looked at the set-up again. "I am going to get this son-of-a-bitch.”

"Let's go back downstairs. We can disable this later if that's what you want to do."

"Why not kill it now?" Donna asked.

"Think it though. You have a way to let Frank see what you want him to see. You might be able to use this to your advantage."

Back downstairs, Donna unhesitantly sat down and pulled Suzi in her lap, not caring if everyone saw. "The bastard had me wired!" A camera in the ceiling fan, he was transmitting. I bet he comes by regularly to see what I have been doing."

"Shit, Donna. So he..." She held Donna close.

“Donna, would you, Jessie, and Wit here take a look and see if there is anyone else you know?” Rob asked.

Dave asked, "Rob, there has to be a way to catch Frank in the act of downloading. Would the cops help?"

"No!" Jessie said suddenly.

"What, Jessie?"

"The cops won't help." She pointed to a picture. "He's a cop! Lt. Kurt Dupreaux! The bastard has been after my shop for a while and I can't figure out why."

"Kurt!" Rob, Dave, and Amy exclaimed.

"A guy named Kurt is a partner in all this. We have no idea who he really is. Joanie has something on him that she keeps on CD in a safety deposit box. So Kurt is a cop!"

"Oh, that's just fucking great."

"It is, for me anyway. I would give a great deal to have copies of everything Kurt appears in. He's been making trouble for my place for years."

Dave inquired, "What is your place?"

"You know the adult boutique off Main? I own it, well me, the bank, and a few others, like Suzi here. It's nice, clean, and nothing like a usual dump."

"If you haven't been there, you should. I love it and I work there." Suzi said with a smile!

There was a surprised look on several people, but Wit cracked up. "You know for a bunch of swingers, you can be surprisingly straight-laced!"

That broke up the room and any tension.

Tracy said, "I've been there, it's a great shop. I thought I knew Suzi from someplace, but wasn't sure. You helped me with a costume once."

"The seven veils, I remember now. Damn, you looked hot in it."

Donna hugged her close.

"Relax lover, I said she looked hot, but I also remember thinking how you would look in it."

"I wasn't hugging to be jealous, you just have a bony butt and I need to shift you a little. I think she would look sexy in that costume."

"I want to see her in it," said Brenda, who up to now was pretty quiet.

"If you do, you best look fast because those veils won't last long with you in the room."

The group relaxed a lot since most of the more personal side of things were revealed and no one got weirded out. For a few seconds, Donna wondered what making love with Rob would be like, not knowing that Brenda was thinking the same thing about her.

"Now the question is what do we do?" Donna asked the obvious question.

Rob replied, "I'll make you a copy of everything Frank is in for you to use as you see fit. Jessie, I'll do the same thing for you with Kurt. Right now Joan and John are trying to avoid having to pay a great deal of money in refunds. I don't know where their money was going but that website had a lot of subscribers, and they must have been spending like hell on something. The computer equipment was state-of-the-art, but it wasn't that expensive."

He continued, "We're going to keep trying to identify all these people and the ones we know of were being blackmailed, then find a way to tell them the threat seems to be over. Other than that I think this is a dead issue for us. We have their house and equipment. We might use it for something someday, but for right now we are just cataloging all their material. I am so tempted to just erase it all, but I want to know what I have before I toss it away. We have the identified blackmail material backed-up for the moment. We have dumped the user account stored material. We are only really interested in what Joan and John and their host of 'friends' were up to."

"Son of a bitch, you guys have been having so much fun and you didn't invite me?"

"Donna, we didn't know how deep you were in it, if at all. Seeing your pics in the database finally told us that is was more Frank and that Joanie was simply trying to hook you."

"You believed I might be in it?" Donna asked.

"It wasn't a matter of what we believed, it was what we could prove to ourselves," Rob answered for the group. "We have some pretty incriminating shots of some of our neighbors doing things I would have sworn in court they would never do. This party told a few of them that Joanie and John were gone. I know some are wondering if their punishment was over, but still, others are probably looking for some similar fun and games. We had no way of knowing for sure. I almost held back until Suzi here came down in the basement."

Wit spoke up again. "Let me get this straight, Rob, you have all of their material, sans anything that might be in their safety deposit box. Some of it is pretty incriminating to people around here. Joan and John have been partnered with a cop in this little enterprise. Right?"

"On the money. Why?"

"You need to get rid of it quickly and do a complete scrub of everything fast!"

"What?" Rob exclaimed.

Wit continued, "If I were Kurt and found out you guys got it all without blanking the hardware, I would be scared. A search warrant and a good computer forensic scientist could show that you own all that material. The right words from Joan and John and you might get picked up for the blackmail. Remember part of my job is working with data storage and analysis. If you think you need it, burn back-ups of the material and get it off-site. Not to me, but to someone you trust. Review it in detail later, but for right now clean all those systems off and start fresh. I'm serious, as soon as the 'enemy' thinks about what you have, he'll be looking for ways to neutralize it. If Joanie has something on Kurt, he might think you have it now. He'll be sweating a lot!"

"We already have a back-up set."

"So get it off your property, right now. And start blanking those drives, and destroy and discs and tapes. Even this document," Wit pointed to the printed faces and names, "can be incriminating."

"Crap! Thanks, Wit, we should have thought about something like that. OK, we'll deal with it. The question is where to send it?"

Jessie got up, much to Rob and Wit's appreciation. "Donna, where are the ladies?"

Donna pointed.

"Thanks. Tracy, come here, there is something I want to tell you," Jess said.

Jess pulled Tracy down the hall. "I can't tell you this in front of Wit, but tell Rob that I have a secure place for storing stuff. Wit knows I have a safe place, but has no idea where it is and prefers it that way. If you guys need it just bring your stuff to me at my shop and I will keep them for you -- without looking at them."

"Thanks, Jess." Tracy hugged her and then heard a whistle from the hall." Brenda was standing there. "You two look very nice together."

Trace reached out and swatted Brenda. "And you have a dirty mind."

"Yup, and that's what you love about me!"

"Uh-huh," She said to Jessie's knowing smile.

The meeting broke up with one last unresolved issue, the camera in Donna's ceiling. She was all for removing it immediately, Rob and Wit were trying to leave it alone. Maybe they could use it to hang Frank out to dry. Donna was so angry about it; she knew she needed a clear head to make any decisions. Rob came back with a laptop and wireless card.

"Hi Donna, I know the meeting ended, but Brenda thought I might give you a chance to see what Frank has been watching. I think I can access his feed from here."

She nodded while Suzi hugged her and then she stood behind her rubbing the tension out of her shoulders.

"Here's the live feed." The screen showed her bedroom, she knew it was live because the outfit she wore to the party was lying on the bed. She changed right afterward, which means that fucker might have seen her naked!

“Here are some capture files."

Suzi said, "Capture files?"

"It looks like there is a little more up in your ceiling that I thought. I bet if we had looked further we would have found a laptop. The cam software is just like the stuff Joan had in her backyard. The cam senses motion and comes on and records the action. Ten minutes after the last perceived motion it shuts off. The recorded video is saved in a file on the laptops hard drive. Then he can come along and download the files to his own laptop. Just like Joanie's crap, there is very little security involved here, mostly security by obscurity. Which means it's secure as long as no one knows it's here. Now that we know, we can deal with it," said Rob.

"How?"

"The cam is controlled from the laptop, but the cam configuration files are open."

Rob made several clicks on his touchpad, "There, I just disabled the motion sensor and put a saved image in a loop. Which, in normal speak, means that the cam will take that image and save it over and over again."

"Won't Frank notice?" Donna needed to know.

Rob grinned, "Sure, but until he looks at the cam software, it'll look a malfunction. Since that file hasn't been accessed in over a year, I am betting he has no idea how to do it. You mentioned a restraining order?"

"Yea, he can't come within two-hundred feet of my office or home without calling for an appointment first."

"Two hundred feet, huh?” Rob was smiling, "Let me take a look outside for a moment and then let’s plan." Rob left by the back door.

Suzi sat in Donna's lap and hugged her. "It's going to be OK; I have a good feeling about this."

"How did you know Rob was OK to talk to?"

"Oh, that was easy. I remembered Tracy and I liked her. She reminds me of me to a certain extent. I saw her and Rob kissing when I visited the loo and I was worried until Brenda showed up and it was a three-way kiss. It was easy to see the love there. Rob left and Tracy and Brenda were still kissing when Dave joined them. I overheard Amy teasing him about his woody and I knew they were a hell of a lot less straight-laced than you thought but in a good way! If I thought for one second he was in it with Joan I would have gotten your lovely ass outa there!"

Donna hugged her and Suzi placed her hand on her breast. Donna massaged her breast and kissed her, finally calming down over Frank-less. The very idea of being bugged like that . . .

"Relax sweetie, it's just me here."

She realized she was squeezing Suzi's breast hard. She let go and started apologizing.

"Relax, I like things rough too, but I know you weren't thinking about me at that moment." She lifted her top and offered Donna a breast to kiss when Rob walked back in. Suzi covered up.

"You don't have to cover up on my account."

”Don't you have enough sex at home?"

"I sure do, but you two are a very sexy sight to see!"

"Thanks, Rob. OK, what do we do?"

And the planning commenced! Afterward, Suzi took Donna into her guest room and they spent a couple of hours working off some of the adrenalin all of tonight’s news.

As they walked into the room, Donna spun Suzi around quickly and pushed her onto the bed. “So you like it a little rough sometimes?”

Suzi started to smile, but Donna’s mood caught on and she put her head down. “Yes, Mistress, this girl likes it rough.”

Donna paused at her words and her tone. There was something there, something new and for the moment, something powerful in her. She knew part of it was her anger at Frank and Kurt, but something flared within her when Suzi put her head down. She didn’t say anything right away as she thought. Then she sat in the only chair in the room and looked at Suzi. “Strip for me,” she said quietly.

Suzi stood and reached for her top.

“No, strip for me. Make me hear the music.”

Suzi started swaying to a beat, and an imaginary one. In a moment she started listening to a song in her head, one of her old favorites. She closed her eyes and started dancing, her hips moving subtly as her hands ran up and down her body. The music filled her head and she opened her eyes, this time she didn’t look demurely at Donna, she looked right in her eyes with a fire of her own.

She turned slowly and bent at the waist, all Donna could see was her ass and legs. She was in a pair of shorts, her legs were pressed together. When she came back up, her back was bare, Suzi looked over her shoulder at Donna with a small, sexy smile and tossed her top to the side. Then spun several times with her hands over her breasts.

She came at Donna quickly, pushing her legs apart and kneeling on the edge of the cushion, revealing her breasts in time with her imaginary song. Donna reached for them, but she backed up, almost daring her to follow, but Donna stayed seated, although she was breathing heavier.

Suzi turned away again and loosened her shorts. She leaned against the bed, bouncing her hips in time with the beat and her shorts slowly moved over her hips and then fell to the floor revealing her panties. She turned again and stalked toward Donna. There was no other word for it, she stalked the several paces from the bed to the chair, then knelt on the arms of the chair and pushed her panty-covered pussy right in Donna’s face.

“I said I like it rough sometimes, but that doesn’t just mean you get to be rough to me, lover!”

She ground herself into Donna’s face and when she felt Donna’s grab at her ass, she backed off again with a very sexy little smile. She looked at Donna and had to grin to herself. The always put-together, beautiful, perfect Donna was looking quite disheveled. Her hair was messed up, her lipstick smeared, and the look on her face was one of pure lust. Suzi thought she looked incredible!

She leaned back against the bed and slowly lowered her panties while she kept her eye contact with Donna, not sure if either of them actually blinked. She snagged her panties and twirled them around her finger. “Would you like these?”

Donna nodded, not quite able to speak.

Suzi wadded them up. “Well, come and get them!”

Donna got up and as she came forward, Suzi stopped her just at arm’s reach. “My panties are soaked!” Donna looked down at them and then Suzi pushed them in her mouth. Donna looked half-shocked and a half beyond excited. In a move that surprised both of them, Suz took Donna’s tee in both hands and ripped it open. Then, at the height of the moment...

They both cracked up. They looked at each other and just couldn’t stop laughing. The panties went one way, the two of them fell on the bed still laughing. In a moment, they quieted down and just looked at each other and then they kissed. It was slow, sensual and perfect for the two of them. Then they started laughing again. The stress of everything bled off and the two of them made love, in many ways like they had been lovers for years.

The next day Suzi took off from work and spent the day at Donna's baking and watching the side street.

"Aha!" She exclaimed when she saw what she expected to see. The pattern repeated over the next several days, alternating every other day.

On Friday, when a small dirty white car parked next to Donna's house, the driver never noticed the white van across the street.

"Police! Hold it right there!"

Frank jumped and almost hit his head. He was so engrossed in his latest download. The first all week with anything on it.

"Hands where I can see them."

Frank held his hands up. He went to close the laptop lid, but the lady cop stopped him.

"I said freeze!"

The other cop, a young one looked very nervous.

A plainclothes officer came up to the car. Lt Leana Peero looked in, saw the computer. "What are you doing here Mr. Diagimesso?"

"Uh..."

"You are Mr. Frank Diagimesso?"

"Uh... yes."

"Good, now just what are you doing here?"

"Just some computer work?"

"Parked outside your ex-wife's house?"

"We are supposed to meet in a little while."

"Oh Mr. Diagimesso, it is very bad form to lie to the police. You do realize you are supposed to stay at least tywo hundred feet away, don't you?"

"I said we had a meeting."

"And I said to quit lying, Mr. Diagimesso"

"If she told you we didn't have a meeting scheduled, she's the one who lied to you." Frank said.

"Actually she didn't mention you at all. Officer Heartly, get him out of there and cuff him. Make sure you read him his rights."

"You're arresting me for violating a restraining order?"

"Your ex-wife found a camera in her bedroom ceiling." Frank paled. "We traced it to a transmitter in the attic. We've been watching for who would come along and gather up the results. We're arresting you for the invasion of privacy, breaking and entering, and violating the restraining order among other charges. Take him, Heartly. Ann, make sure the rookie dots all the i's and crosses all the t's."

After they read him his rights, two more people in plainclothes stepped up. Lt Peero introduced them. "Mr. Diagimesso, when we are done with you, these two gentlemen want to speak to you about undocumented income concerning some movies. Special Agents Aball and Hearns of the IRS, this is Frank Diagimesso."

Frank's normally tanned skin seemed quite pale even when contrasted against the white shirt he was wearing. As Officer Heartly push his head down so he didn't bang it as he sort of fell into the squad car, he never saw the high-five between his ex and her lover in the window of her house.

That night Donna, Suzi, Jess, and Wit joined a surprisingly large group in Rob's basement. Everyone was unwinding when there was a knock at the backdoor. Lt Peero and Sergeant Ann Lee came in. The air held a certain expectation.

Rob looked at Jess. "I thought you said the cops couldn't help?"

Jess grinned. "Well, as a group they couldn't, Dupreaux would find out. But a quiet call to Ann and then she suggested Leana. So when an ‘anonymous’ lead cast a shadow on Dupreaux, they managed to keep the details from him. Your suggestion of messing with the antenna to draw him in closer helped nail his coffin shut.”

Ann collected two beers from a cooler and joined Leana in an overstuffed chair. Jess gave them a nod and Suzi squeezed Donna's hand.

"Kurt sure was surprised when we brought Frank in. We mentioned the invasion of privacy to him, but somehow forgot to mention who was involved or where." Leana said after a pull of beer.

Ann added, "Donna, I'm sorry but you were simply called 'the hysterical female' in the initial report."

Donna laughed and Suzi hugged her hard. "It's OK, Ann. I was pretty upset about it. I do want to know if it will keep Frank off my back."

"It'll stick, on Frank anyway! He was caught in the act and no amount of talking will get him out of it. He'll be spending the weekend in jail and can arrange bail after his arraignment on Monday. He's singing like a bird too. He's implicated Kurt, and several others including your former neighbors."

Jess got serious, "You said ‘on Frank’?"

Ann stood. "Frank is singing, but we have no proof besides his word. Unless Kurt or the Joan and John spill their guts, nothing official may happen to them."

Jess replied, "What about the movies?"

"Frank figured in them, but there is no connection to Kurt. Any decent lawyer can claim Frank planted the camera and the movies are a separate issue. Technically there is nothing illegal in the movies except for his unearned income unless one of the participants reports the blackmail." Ann shrugged as she said it.

Leana added, "Plus who knows what we'll find when we finish looking for other illegal cameras. If we can tie one of those to a movie, we will have a much stronger case."

Everyone looked at each other while Leana continued, "Rob, your equipment was invaluable. We've picked up over thirty houses with both wireless emissions and a small wire hanging under and along the gutter. I'm forming a team to visit each home on Monday. In addition to criminal charges, I'm sure civil charges will follow. Frank and, if we can prove it, his friends have been treating this subdivision as their own little peeping playground and that pisses me off."

She looked around and smiled. "Now don't get quiet now. Ann and I came by to tell you this and because we assumed this would be a good place to party. My favorite party place isn't doing any right now and Ann and I love a good time."

Everyone laughed and started talking at once. After a while, Leana, Ann, and Brenda were dancing minus some clothes and more was disappearing. Rob's security expert, Cydne, was tucked between Rob and Dave while Amy and Jessie yelled encouragement. Wit, Suzi, and Donna were in a tangle on the floor and Tracy just dove in to join them.

The neighborhood babysitters saw an upswing in weeknight business from both Donna and Amy's house and no one seemed surprised when Jessie moved in with Wit and Suzi with Donna.

Andy, an older man who always 'appreciated' Amy, practically walked his dog's legs off with the miles he's been doing lately whenever Suzi, Trace, Aim, and Donna jog. Gem, another neighbor, has been joining them on occasion.

Donna was as happy as anyone had ever seen her, her lady friends at her office are also frequent visitors, much to Rob, Wit, and Dave's delight. Life was good until... but that's another story.
