"I'll take care of it."

The rest of the room was shocked at Leticia's response.

Emery was the first to ask, "W-what do you mean, Leticia?"

"Exactly what I said, Em. Now, go be with your mother." Leticia pushed the girl forward and tapped on the screen nearest her, drawing a box of band-aids out of the wall and handing it to Jen. The mother looked up at the muscular woman with wide eyes, and thanked her quietly. Leticia nodded, and then turned around, returning to the table where the others sat while Jen tended to her daughter's wrist, muttering apologies and reminding Emery of how much she loved her.

"So," she said, tapping her fingers, "Those two are off the table."

Anne blanched at the declaration. Now there were four men involved with the challenge, and only two women. Leticia noticed her trembling and reached over to squeeze her hand. "It's fine," she said. "You just worry about Jack, alright?"

Anne nodded, again shocked and surprised at Leticia's bold words.

Ed, sweating profusely, asked the question that was on everyone else's minds. "You don't mean, you will be the one who…?"

"I will," Leticia said. The others looked at her serious, determined eyes, and they knew she was telling the truth. "Anne, can you go over the details from this morning one more time, if you wrote them down? Before I do anything, I want to be certain."

Anne nodded and broke down what the voice had told them. There were four men, and they each needed to have unprotected sex with at least one woman before the end of the day, or else two arbitrarily chosen captives would most likely be killed.

"Are you really going to…?" Anne couldn't finish the question.

"How dirty is the bedroom?" Leticia asked, rising from her seat and ignoring Anne's unfinished question.

Anne blushed. "Um, not that dirty. I left my lab coat on the floor, and um, I didn't make the bed this morning."

"Should be fine," Leticia said. "Come on, Frank. You're up first. Let's get this thing over with. Em, can you turn on the radio?" Emery answered affirmatively, quickly grabbing the small speaker near her sleeping bag and pressing play. With that, Leticia walked to the bedroom, opened the divider so she could get inside, and then entered without looking back.

Frank's large erection was pushing against his pants. "I guess, I'm going now," he said, still a little shocked at everything that had happened in the relatively short time since they woke up. He stood and walked to the bedroom, trying to shift his pants and walk in profile, to keep at least the three women in the room from seeing the bulge around his crotch. Ed looked at the other man's tent and swallowed, his own erection swelling slightly under the table. Jack didn't look at Frank at all, too busy gripping Anne's shaking hands, and silently giving thanks to Leticia for taking on such a difficult burden.

When Frank entered the room, Leticia was lying on the bed, propped up against a couple of pillows, still clothed. "Close it," she said, motioning to the dividing screen. Frank pushed it tight against the wall.

"Alright. Before we get started, I want both of us to know exactly what it is that we're doing here," Leticia said.

"You mean, having sex?" Frank asked, not quite sure what she was getting at.

Leticia sighed. "I'm talking about the circumstances, Frank."

He still didn't get it. "What?"

"Ugh, just, listen to what I say, and answer my questions honestly, alright?"

"Yeah, okay," Frank said, moving his hand away from the button of his pants.

"First, I want to be clear. I'm doing this to stay alive. I wouldn't be letting you in my pants otherwise. Get it?"

"Yes."

"Good. Second, I'm not a virgin, but as far as I know, I'm clean. I've only had a handful of partners, and no STDs. You?"

"None at all. I mean, I have a girlfriend back home. I'm clean." At this point, Frank didn't try to hide the tent in his pants. He was itching to get on with it already.

"Ok. Last thing then. I'm not on birth control. I'll try a morning-after pill if the point store has any, but if I get pregnant, I don't want you telling me what to do with my body, or the baby, if I have one, ok?"

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Whatever you want, Leticia," Frank said, too aroused to really think about what she was saying. "Are you ready?"

Leticia noticed his uninterested dismissal and frowned, but decided to move on regardless. She had to do it, not just for herself, but for Jen, Emery, and Anne, too. "Fine. You can strip."
