Sixteen-year-old Cybersnoop, Littanie Webster, color coordinated down to her underwear in denim and a Greek fisherman’s cap, sat with her legs folded under her in 'the cage.’ 'Welcome to Cyber Snoop Nation, ’ she specified. It was eighty degrees inside the recording booth and humid. On the advice of her lawyer, she decided on a guest for the evening at the last possible minute-Gene Wright.
He wheeled his desk chair in a semi-circle and clicked a ball point pen nervously until she extended her hand and steadied him. Her voice was courteous, but patronizing. 'We’re on the air in five seconds-no background noise, please!’ He braced his chair against her desk.
She pinched the pen out of his fingers and tossed it into a cup filled with pencils. He grabbed it from the cup, spilling the contents over with a crashing sound.
'Klutz!’ She screamed in a whisper. 'You’d make a fortune in comedy reviving the Three Stooges.’
'Sorry, it’s my gold award pen.’ Gene looked up at her with the child in himself giving her the pout of a newborn lamb.
The red lights blinked 'On Air, ’ and her silver gaze of false innocence imploded into a critical squint. 'We have a surprise guest tonight, folks, ’ she murmured mysteriously. The words tingled strangely on her tongue.
A caller, Gene Wright, nursed the microphone as if it were too precious to defile. 'Why would someone offer a foreign guy two million to murder you?’
