“Deal! But we call the office!” Jack yells, running toward Blanche’s office before Henry can dispute his claim.

Sasha, Sloane, and I follow him, and by the time we get to the office, he’s already holding a jump drive in his hand. “This says Taranov. I mean…it’s got to besomething.”

Sloane rounds the desk, grabs the drive from him, and inserts it into Blanche’s computer. “Well, let’s see it, then.”

The four of us crowd around the computer impatiently as the files load, not the slightest bit prepared for what we’re about to find. A folder with at least one hundred files pops up when the loading is complete, each labeled Taranov and a date. Sasha slowly moves the cursor to the first option, with a date from last week.

“Nothing even happened last week, did it?” I ask, thinking back to the last mission Sasha and I went on.

“Nope,” Sasha says as he clicks on the file.

The video plays for at least a minute as we stand frozen. It’s Blanche in a schoolgirl outfit, well part of a schoolgirl outfit, and she’s straddling a man. The deep voice of the man from the video breaks us from our trance. “You’re going to have to ride harder than that if you don’t want me to kill your family.”

“Holy shit.”

“What the fuck?”

“Jesus Christ on a cracker.”

Of all the things this woman could be doing right now, riding a dick in a schoolgirl outfit is about as vanilla as it’s going to get. “Honestly, get it, Blanche. I hope I’m still riding dick in my sixties.”

Jack chokes as Sloane and I giggle, but Sasha doesn’t make so much as a peep.

The man has been completely blocked from our view the whole time, but when Blanche shifts into a deep squat to bounce on him, you can definitely see what he’s working with.

“Wow…”

“Holy shit, is she fucking a horse?”

“Goddamn.”

Sloane and Jack are both in agreement. I glance at my husband to see what his reaction is…because that really is the biggest dick I’ve ever seen, no offense, Sasha…and his face is completely flushed.

“Sasha? Are you okay?”

Still staring at the computer like he’s seen a ghost, he gulps. “That’s my dad.”
