"Very good. You're a quick learner." The Vet starts massaging his genitals,
getting them warmed up like an engine on a cold morning. "Now, as far as this Rob and
Dave scenario goes, they won't go near you if I'm around cause they'll know that you're
mine, but if they catch you alone somewhere, hell, you're fair game and easy prey." The
Vet sits down on his bed. A broken-spirited Don listens silently.
"Dave's been in here for a few years now, and he's one for the excitement of the
hunt. Seeing your fear fuels his hunger. So take that excitement away from him; he'll
probably lose interest if you're apathetic about his threats and taunts. That's just the way
he is, son." The Vet takes a deep breath. Don hangs on to the word "son", repulsed by the
disgusting ogre's paternal implication.
"Now Rob's a different story altogether. Rob's about as tough as beef gristle; when
he sets his mind to something, he means business. I've been here a while, boy, and I've
seen Rob at his best and worst. If you don't listen to anything else, heed my advice and
stay the fuck away from Rob. He's a lifer; he'll die in this place. He doesn't really care one
way or the other." The Vet continues to massage his testicles, and he grins. "Tell me
you're qualified to receive my wisdom."
"I'm, uh ..." Tightly balled left fist punches Don in the stomach so hard he dry-
heaves and spits bile on his blanket.
"I'll give you one more chance to tell me you're qualified to receive my wisdom,
Don."
"Pretty white girl is qualified to receive your wisdom," wheezes Don.
"Bore Dave; evade Rob."
"Bore Rob?" Don asks.
