The Paedophiles

Much like most Wednsday mornings, Leslie and Hector were checking Internet traffic between paedophiles, two old men this time, who had seemed to be trading pictures of kids in sexual positions. The kids were mostly boys, from one of them, while the other one sent mostly pictures of girls, back.

“It seems,” Leslie said, amused, “that Joe is unable to make girls horny, while Patty is unable to make boys horny!”

Hector smiled. “Yeah, so it seems!” he said.

“Look at this girl,” Leslie continued. “She is like all over Patty!”

Hector smiled smugly, but he also felt that he could be tempted to go over the line for a proper behaviour if he tended not to protest this kidding around about the pictures. Even so he stayed silent for now, feeling uncertain on whether or not she would continue talking to him in this silly way.

His partner copied this picture to a folder they had called funnies, where they also had a few with guys attempting to be polite about their penile erections. Hector sighed at this. He found it funny, in a sense, but he wanted to be serious about the issue. On the other hand, he felt that it was difficult to feel that he would in general be more serious than her, and therefore he only said: “It's unsafe to say we should be into fun about this pictures, now when there's a murder investigation that they might be connected to!”

Leslie sighed at this. “Murder investigations,” she answered, “are not there for us to be morbid about! Why can't you, like me or my previous partner, have it those pictures are about what we shouldn't connect to our souls, as if they weren't the scum we would never be?”

Hector giggled a little before replying a bit scornfully: “It's not only fun that I want to have - even though their different. And isn't it that you and Diane were recommended to switch partners mostly because you seemed to be into scorning them all too much!?”

“Just like you and Peter, right?”

He sighed. “Yeah, the same, sort of - or so they said!”

She giggled. Then she sighed and started working again. He looked at her, then he too started working, both without saying anything for a while.

But two minutes later there was a picture among those that she found, which she decided to ask him about: “What do you think? To me, she seems to be posing for getting satisfaction from picture taking with that gay Patty, but at the same time she closes her eyes so that it seems to be a trap for a man somehow, don't you think?”

He looked her screen and pondered for a while. “Yeah.” he said at last, “it seems like she's trying to like posses someone!”

“Perhaps she's one of the - potential, at least - local leaders of that sect-like secret society, then?”

Hector swallowed. “Yeah, I guess she could be!”

Leslie copied the picture to a folder she had called “Hypnotic” and then opened that folder. There she had several similar pictures stored. “It's not, is it, corny to say that we have them among their victims?”

He looked at the miniature pictures in her folder. “It's only possible that we have them there!” he said, with a slight scorn to him.

She sighed, scornfully, returning the scorn with an edge of it to her sigh, and in her voice when she asked back: “It's to be stated, right, that these young girls are not as innocent as they seem, if that is so?!”

He looked indignant. “I doubt it that you're not being too speculative!” he scorned.

“Then look at this!” She double-clicked one of the miniatures and then an other one. These two pix seem to indicate that she is very horny, and the third one, which I just showed you seems to say that she can proudly hide it from whoever might be into studying her!”

“Like me, then, you mean?”

“Yeah, mostly from men.”

Hector sighed at this, but stayed otherwise silent. He studied the pictures for a while, before his said to him:

“She seems to be into just pretending to be their victim. Apart from that she has a paedophile against her, seemingly, she could very easily be a molester herself, by the look of it!”

“Perhaps,” Hector answered. “But - at least in a sense - that could be due only to those old men that are molesting her! She seems to be feeling that she can be as bad, and therefore avenging, if not them, then at least whomever there might be that fits in with their rules of when to abuse!”

His partner smiled smugly and thoughtfully. “Yeah. That could be correct. It might be that she works off her vengeance against her abusers on those that she can abuse. ...”

“I guess it's not very easily that leader figure in her anyway, then!”

Her smiled turned into a giggle. “I can't believe that you don't know that she looks a bit like the one they showed us that was the local leader! Not much more than coloured hair, basically, or so it seems, would do the job of this masquerade! And, moreover, the man in the second overhead slide that Linda from murder showed us seems to be Joe's brother in law, and Patty's half-cousin. I think the girl on the picture is she, and that she is the local leader of that molestation and murder syndicate they introduced us to.”

Hector looked at the pictures again. “Sorry!” he said after a while. After a few more seconds he asked: “What about the at least three other girls that are on the pictures that you've been handling?”

“I'm not conclusive about them yet! What about your boys?”

“Similar. But I have been into that one of them has seemed to be aspiring for a chance to become a powerful guy in a sense. ... That is, he's been into pretension about himself as an immature guy for the rich people to have. This shows on the pictures only in that he is posing for them as a man to be reckoned with as a superior in a sense that I think can turn almost all of them on.”

“Mhmm, ... My girl can, I presume, also turn them all on - by being seemingly innocent while still being (so to speak) terrifically evil. ...And, for those murderers, perhaps it's better that she seems innocent of being in power for actually being chosen for it!”
