Subject: He ordered a replacement

Another custom woman - Belladerma top of the line.  Bustier this time.  Not so smart. Submissive personality - In BD's charming phrase, "bound in joy."

He ordered a replacement before Venus had been caught, as if he didn’t expect to see her again. Or maybe he didn’t want to see her again.

Now, miraculously,  Evan’s killer has escaped from the SPCB.  Now, mysteriously, the file download of her memory has disappeared too.

Maybe it was an accident, it was a malfunction, it was SPCB incompetence.

All I know is, I wouldn’t want to be the replacement.
