"I dunno man, are you sure? This is just really sketchy."
446Please respect copyright.PENANALz6xAQuYgZ
Adam nodded. "I'm sure. It's like Amanda doesn't even love me anymore, man. No, this has been coming for a while."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ju8l4Tbp
"But... You found this girl on Craig's list. If that's not sketchy I don't know what is."
446Please respect copyright.PENANALfZPo3WhKR
"Yeah, it's sketchy. But it doesn't matter, have you seen this girl's picture? We're just meeting for coffee today, no big deal," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAATX43I4JXy
"Leave me out of it."

After work, Adam took off his tie, combed his hair, and drove downtown to the cafe the girl had suggested. His stomach fluttered a little, but the realization that he would have to go back home to his wife steeled his resolve. He walked inside and scanned the room.
446Please respect copyright.PENANApZwyBJ0RWB
She sat at a table in the corner, facing the door. She caught his eye and squinted, and her face lit up in recognition. Adam walked over and sat across from her, and made a show of looking her up and down.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAQwaEXMTpOG
He had a hard time looking past her body, but her face was just as beautiful.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAFsFTRVOOog
"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAjkB7HPyTD9
The girl laughed politely. "What's next, you wanna know my name and my sign?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA61pS4dHgy2
She took a sip of her drink. "Tiffany. I'm a Virgo."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAxZQrabJBwx
"Virgo? We should do something about that," said Adam, trying to sound charming.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAZBDUEn9uoF
She laughed again. "You sound nervous."
446Please respect copyright.PENANABWOj0qNNd6
Adam's eyes widened for a second. "Nah, I'm just a little rusty. I haven't been on a date since high school," he said with a shrug.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAR5mVvOOa0q
"You said you were married?" said Tiffany.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAeB7fA8SxJI
Adam shrugged again. "I'm pretty sure she's cheating on me. She works late every night and I haven't gotten laid in weeks."
446Please respect copyright.PENANALlZs2LCERR
"So there's really only one thing on your mind, huh?" said Tiffany, a little sadly.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pd4BEFWHx
"Yeah, right now it's you," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANALh0J61wt5G
Tiffany laughed. "Do you have any diseases?"
Adam shook his head.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAAqLBjTv9DP
"How about medical history, any problems?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA2Smwrp8Wa4
Adam frowned. "I have a bad back, but nothing serious. Why?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4mpGpdk1eh
"Liability," Tiffany said simply. "Heart or lung disease?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAOikzUG7ZSC
"Nope."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAT2JdkQ5zHo
"Diabetes?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAPLxw5bBlnz
"Nope."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAVcghJZ4416
"What about high blood pressure?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAWVDSO1PIfE
"No, I'm pretty healthy."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAmrhF9fnsYh
"When's the last time you donated blood?" said Tiffany.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAKx5UhLyEzn
"What does that have to do with anything?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAbSy9NCvcX8
"I had somebody pass out once," said Tiffany. "Like I said, liability."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAkw1rd3PDCO
Adam shrugged. "Not since high school, probably."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAmbtXPdkbC6
"Alright, are you on any medication?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA3s4PfmAFBP
"Painkillers for my back, but that's about it," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAIn545WS3UX
"Great. Who's your doctor, by the way?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4dpr0RRufa
"Isn't that kinda personal?" said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAkYPN1GuE1w
"Not as personal as what we're gonna be doing later," Tiffany said.
446Please respect copyright.PENANACvHPLVTJFM
Adam salivated a little. "Uh... Dr. Collins, a couple buildings down from here." He looked back down at her chest.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA5GEMbbgkZw
Tiffany laughed. "Easy there tiger, there'll be time for that. I'm kinda busy tonight, what do you have going on tomorrow?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAdrq7NbVBFq
"Not a whole lot," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAxdCxBcbror
"Great," said Tiffany. "So do you wanna meet at that shitty old motel by the highway? The Lone Star, say 9:00?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA5t7BYF0cFh
"Sounds like a plan to me," said Adam, grinning.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4ceVa0ZZEx
He drove home slowly, dreading the thought of his family. His wife would be out, working late, probably sleeping with her secretary yet again. His eldest daughter was a stupid bimbo whether he liked it or not, he expected to see her doing interracial porn in less than five years. His son was just a little fairy boy who watched cartoons about ponies, terrible at sports, and with more friends online than he had in real life.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAYoHpxOMKfv
Tiffany seemed like she could be the one bright spot in his life. As far as Adam was concerned his family had betrayed him years ago.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAOCieqsSTBe
He pulled in his garage and went inside, to his surprise Amanda was already cooking dinner.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA0SBq8R3z6x
"Hi honey," she said warmly.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAZl1ZoNVn8y
"You're home early," said Adam, surprised.
446Please respect copyright.PENANASq8YW9oKdT
"I know, I just wanted to surprise you. We're having steak tonight!"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAZP0miJildp
Steak. No wonder it smelled so delicious. "What's the special occasion?"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAxhaDBwpykA
"I've been working so much lately that my boss just gave me a promotion! I got a fifteen percent raise today, and I won't have to work sixty hours a week anymore!" Amanda said, beaming.
446Please respect copyright.PENANArrXxSkq0G9
"That's... That's great, honey," said Adam. "Nice job."
446Please respect copyright.PENANA14Lt5BS7Pq
Amanda kissed him. "Dinner will be ready in half an hour."
446Please respect copyright.PENANATT3WoCif2A
Adam walked upstairs. "Hey Dad, guess who got a B on her calc test?" said his daughter as he walked by her room.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAVRLGuHcki6
"You got a B? I thought you were failing calculus?" said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA8FYLlSL1dX
"I was, but I actually studied this time. Turns out that's the secret!"
446Please respect copyright.PENANA3E9h7E602v
"Hey Dad, guess what?" his son said from across the hall. "I joined the cross country team today!"
446Please respect copyright.PENANAzfdSSXHCUe
"That's... That's great! That'll be good for you," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANASME07nOjyG
He walked into his own room and laid on his bed. They weren't bad kids... But it's not like they would find out about his infidelity. Besides, it wouldn't be their business anyway. Amanda would be the only one he's be betraying... And Tiffany had a better rack anyway.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA2yd4n72YKq
He ate steak and went to bed early.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAXIbiZHWiDp

446Please respect copyright.PENANAQjqwmLCEAx
Adam pulled up to the Lone Star motel at 9:00, just as planned. He had told Amanda he was going to go watch a fight on pay per view with some friends... Not that there were any fights on.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA68Dr0L7Z3L
"Are you Adam?" said the man at the concierge desk.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAhXvAqNO5bB
"Ah, yeah," said Adam.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAn8xSD6VGUX
"Room 201."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAGAmgD05rwh
Adam climbed the stairs and knocked on the last door on the right. Tiffany opened it, wearing a white bathrobe.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAVwW4iYeaUw
"You're late," she said.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAXYNEdnSAFP
Adam looked at his watch. "It's 9:03."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAmf4EaMz8Wk
"I don't like to be kept waiting."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAnAJoM1dDBT
Adam walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAYIVh3FNArn
"So, how much?" he said.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAK8FhKHp9PG
Tiffany shrugged. "It depends on how well you do." She untied the belt on her bathrobe. "Ahem."
446Please respect copyright.PENANAsVQMJAwQJ6
"Oh, sorry." Adam turned around, a little confused.
446Please respect copyright.PENANANwGDMGLEbZ
Something heavy hit him in the back of his head and the world went dark.
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4mFFYDMEOx
Adam woke naked, in pain. The lights were too bright. It was so cold. He rubbed his eyes, and his face got wet. Why was he wet?
446Please respect copyright.PENANAlCJ33F3wKb
He was lying in a bathtub, covered in ice. Adam groaned and tried to sit up, but lances of pain shot out from his back.
446Please respect copyright.PENANABJ3YeAgO4Y
Blood covered the floor. Adam couldn't think through the pain, a thick fog clouded his brain.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAp4T5toL4Tr
He carefully felt along his back, where the pain seemed to concentrate. He felt a large wound stitched up, and his hand came back bloody. He laid back in despair, but he saw a scrap of paper sitting on the counter. He could just reach it.
446Please respect copyright.PENANAmH6e6cXMfA
"Dear Adam," he read. "Sorry I had to do this to you, but that's what you get for trying to betray your family. You're probably going to die, but there's a phone on the bed if you can reach it to call 911.
P.S. Thanks for the kidney, you saved my husband's life.
P.P.S. I'm not a dirty cheater, that's just you."
