rubbers.
âOf course. You know how to work my camera?â
âYeah, no problem. We can start whenever you want.â
A moment passed. This was when Bienvenue had to test the waters. It was do or die. We were ready to charge up the stairs. Bienvenue had to be convincing.
âCan I talk to you alone in the kitchen?â Bienvenue asked. We followed Toliverâs ass to the front of the dishwasher.
Everyone in the truck stayed glued to the monitor.
âHow much would it cost to get a little more realistic?â
âHow much more realistic do you want it?â Toliverâs voice became a little whiney. I saw that his hands were planted on his hips.
âDonât get me wrong. I love what youâve set up here, but I was kinda hoping to go a little further. Youâre a man who can make things happen, right?â The view turned, then swung back around, giving us a close-up of Toliverâs crotch.
âWhat are you getting at?â Toliver crossed his arms.
I feared if Bienvenue seemed like too much of a high-maintenance pussy, heâd get his ass whupped and the money stolen.
âIâve done time in Joliet,â Bienvenue started. âFor attempted murder. I . . . Iâm ashamed to say that I was going to kill this guy, so I could, you know, do this. But I couldnât go through with it. Iâm a puss. The only reason I did two years was because I called 911 to get him help after I clubbed him with a bat.â
âWhy are you telling me this?â
âI have money, lots of money. If you could set up something . . . something real, I could make it worth your while.â Out of nowhere, Bienvenue grabbed a real nine-inch kitchen knife and displayed it in front of his belt as he ran his finger along the edge. âHypothetically, of course.â
âA real snuff film? Is that what youâre asking me?â
âTen thousand dollars. Fifteen. Name your price.â Bienvenue ran his index finger across Toliverâs forearm. It killed me when the camera wasnât pointed up at their faces.
âYou want me to set up someone to get killed?â It was barely a whisper. Agonizing seconds passed without a word. Then a heavy sigh came over the speakers. âCan you get a hold of thirty thousand dollars?â
A pregnant pause. âYes.â
Toliver backed away a bit as if there were going to be a gunfight at the OK Corral, then hopped up on the kitchen counter. âDrop the knife, then drop your shorts.â
âWhat for?â
âBefore we go any further, youâre going to do what you came here to do.â The camera caught Toliver stroking his mustache. âGreg, get in here.â
The lean bean walked in. âWhat are you dolls discussinâ?â
âDrop your pants, Greg, and get rid of those packets of fake blood. The act is off. I want Sam to fuck you right now.â
Gregâs pants seemed to drop as if they were weighted down with a brick. He jutted out his pale ass for Bienvenueâs entertainment. Our manâs shorts had yet to come down.
I felt myself tensing up for action because something was about to break. I didnât think anyone in the truck was breathing.
âThis isnât what Iâm paying for.â Bienvenue snorted. âGive me my money back.â
âOh no,â Toliver whispered. Bienvenue was able to aim the lens at Toliver who was now playing with the knife. âWe keep the money no matter what. You might as well get a good fuck out of it. Our next deal depends on it.â
âFuck no. Fucking some strangerâs live ass doesnât do it for me. I need the fantasy. Look, letâs just forget everything. Keep the money. Iâm leaving.â
That was good.
Toliver hopped off the counter; then the camera swung around violently. Greg had to have grabbed him from behind. Now Toliver was blocking the front angle view.
âWe need to get in there,â I
