Your husband was a gun nut; now he's a technical advisor.

I soooo loved this story. The irony was delicious: elegant & refined Francine is compelled to perform menial & demeaning tasks, yet retains her pride & dignity; Jack is locked up, chained up & tortured, but won't submit; meanwhile, Shae, who's supposedly free, does *really* dirty work for the Master & complies with every bizarre little whim that crosses his viscious little mind--& Shae walked into it, Francine & Jack had to be taken captive by coercion.

My husband the gun nut: All I had to do was ask, "Gee, honey, what kinda guns do you think Shae likes?" And the next thing I knew, I had her entire arsenal laid out for me, including spec sheets on how to clean them. I've handled a Desert Eagle, and them things ARE cannons!

Yep, Shae learned the hard way: Never try to play a player.
