The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away. -Wilson Mizner Looking at the three women in his life dressed up as bait to attract a stalker seemed like a good idea at first... "I think this might work," he whispered to Finch. Only now he wished that it hadn't worked so well.

Please R&R
