How’s the suite? What’s that sound?” Jill asks.

Roomy with lots of windows. It’s a thunderstorm.” Jack says.

Ooh, nice!  And a thunderstorm sounds cozy. Take a pic, I want to see!” says Jill.

Jack snaps a quick pic, then sends.

Jill zooms in on the bits of figures in the corners. Wait! That’s Terra and Nova, identical twin sisters – who are also her best friends and supposed to be vacationing in Mexico right now!

What are they doing there!?”

Jill looks at Brock, Nova’s god-like gorgeous husband, sprawled naked on her bed.

    Sounds like Jack and Jill are made for each other. Next time, instead of making Jack spend a crown, they should just get together for a tumble…

      One of my old CJ professors said that every criminal wants to get caught and will always leave a clue. I tend to agree with him. It’s just getting those bloodhound investigators looking.

        Our looking skills are not the best, which is probably why so many get away with it…

    A fun story, Lisa. Swapping swingers?

    Oh what a tangled web we weave when everyone has a camera and the ability to send pics to the world instantly. Ya never know who is bonking who (or whose). Life is so interesting. :-) Yolo.

      Haha! Yes it is! I think most apps these days you have to agree to certain permissions, often involving cameras and microphones. Alexa is the greatest spy of the bunch! Thanks for reading and your comment, Michael :)
