already,” Seth complained. He held up his fingers. They were pruned. “I've
never spent this much time in a shower with a guy without a blowjob being involved.”
Lars laughed. “Uh-oh. What should be done about that?”

“I think it's my turn.” Seth lowered himself and turned Lars around to block the spray from
shooting directly into his eyes. Lars's cock was already hard, obtrusively begging for attention,
nudging little Excuse me? Hello? Morse code against Seth's hip the entire shower.
Seth pulled the hot, wet flesh into his mouth and heard Lars's appreciative grumble from
above. He felt Lars's fingers in his hair as he pulled Lars deeper into his mouth, as far as he could
without choking. It was easy to set a rhythm, and Lars was ready for it. It didn't take very long at
all before Lars gasped and gripped Seth to him and salty cum filled Seth's mouth. Of course, Seth
himself was now desperate, and so Lars had to return the favor, and by the time they stepped out
of the shower, the water was cold.
“You'll have to apologize to the other boarders,” Seth said as they toweled each other off.
“No hot showers for them this morning.”
“I'll tell the truth,” Lars said. “Sorry, folks, but it took me fifteen minutes to suck Seth off
this morning.”
Seth whipped his towel at Lars's ass. “I'd love to hear you say that, seriously.” He laughed,
but Lars didn't.
“What?” Seth asked, suddenly self-conscious.
Lars's blue eyes were unreadable. He kissed Seth but didn't say anything further until they
were downstairs and preparing breakfast.

That morning, Seth received a phone call from the RCMP. They were tipped off from the
Bellskis' bank that two charges had recently been made, one at Seattle-Tacoma airport and one in
Kamloops, British Columbia.
“The fact that the charges were on the same day in different cities suggests that one of their
cards may have been stolen,” Constable Singh informed Seth. “We will contact authorities in the
United States and see if they can follow up.”
Seth arranged to meet with the Hermans, good friends of Judi and Carl, and put Ahava on
speakerphone so she could be part of the discussion as well. They went over possible locations
that the Bellskis might have traveled to, detailed physical descriptions, the names of their doctors
for medical records. Seth put all the information together and turned it over to Constable Singh.

Despite the effort, no one felt any better after the meeting. Seth extended the hospitality of
the B and B to Carl and Judi's friends, inviting them to stay for Hanukkah that night.
“We have our own kids over, but thank you,” Sally Herman said, holding Seth's hand. “I
can't thank you enough for taking care of the B and B and Judi's guests while they're gone. I
know she will appreciate it. I hope it hasn't been hard.”
You have no idea.
“A breeze,” Seth said, lying while showing them to the door.
Sally seemed to know he was full of it, because she raised an eyebrow at him. “Really?”
Seth smiled reassuringly. “Not a problem at all. It's the least I could do.”
The second he shut the door, the latest catastrophe occurred.
It should have been obvious to him from the start. There has been a distant echo to Doctor
Mister's incessant barking that morning. But he hadn't registered this improvement until he saw
old Ben Berkowitz frantically searching the house.
“Doctor Mister!” he cried, opening cupboards, checking in rooms. He approached Seth
with a wild look in his eyes. “Seth, Doctor Mister is trapped somewhere!”
Seth tilted his head and listened. It sounded like Doctor Mister was beneath his feet. “Have
you checked outside?”
“Ah!” Ben clutched at his heart. “Don't say that! He could be eaten by eagles!”
Chaim Siegel made a face at that. “Wouldn't you be more worried about bears or bobcats?”
“Or wolves or
