Detective Barnes swiped through various pictures of a tall, brunet college boy, photographed and filmed by early birds as he jogged through the streets naked and blatantly erect.
The screen glared in defiance of the plain concrete room's stark neon light, casting Joe Barnes' edgy face in sharp lines, from the gray hair to the ever-snarling lips.
The man in a police uniform shirt stopped on an image where the 23 year old nudist's erection was as clearly in focus as his distraught, freckled face.
He put the tablet down, making sure the guy across from him got a good look at the screen.
Neil Gallagher had put on a casual suit for the interrogation, perhaps to overcompensate for the less fashionable display that had brought him here.
Joe would have liked nothing more than to simply teach those perverts a lesson but he was getting suspicious of the circumstances.
"And you've never heard of the other two?" he asked.
Neil swallowed hard, his hands firmly planted on his thighs to keep any shaking unobservable. "Yes, officer. Never seen them. Don't know the names the sergeant gave me."
Joe nodded. "So I'm supposed to think there's three dumb kids in as many weeks going streaking?"
Neil's eyes dashed between the photo of his naked self and the officer's eyes. "I swear I'd tell you everything if I could. Don't you think I'm pissed at whoever did this to me?"
"Hm?"
Joe Barnes knew he'd get the guy talking just by staying silent. The issue was keeping the idiots on track when they started rambling.
"There was..." Neil started, glancing along the off-white walls, anywhere but the tablet in front of him. "There was this flute music when I walked to the bar for a beer with the boys, coming from a side alley."
That one almost made the detective react. The first guy had also mentioned something like a flute. But where was the connection?
"So I go check it out. Dunno why. I just... felt like it. And there was this guy in a suit. Or a trench coat. Or a cloak."
Great, Joe thought, another highly reliable eye witness. But it was suspicious that the pervert didn't have a better story prepared.
"And before I know it my pants are down and..." Neil took a deep shaky breath, "he sucks my dick like a grade A whore. I mean, down to the balls in one go and, I mean, I've got quite a sizable tool."
The detective nearly let out a sarcastic 'yes we've all seen it' but kept feigning quiet interest.
Neil's legs parted and he leaned back with a more relaxed posture. "It was the best blowjob of my life. I don't even know how to describe that shit. I've been in a lot of pussies and I thought my girl Becca was the best bang I could ever have dreamt of. But this guy, I mean, he was a monster."
Strange. The second 'victim' had also blamed a blowjob by an unknown man. This made it all the more likely the three had corroborated, or perhaps read the same silly urban myth about magic blowjobs. Was he dealing with closeted gays?
"So this guy sucks the soul out of me, I feel like I'm flying through space, I mean, I think I came ten times over, and then things got weird, like I was on drugs and-"
The tablet screen turned itself off and Neil met the policeman's eyes as if just remembering where he was.
"Uh, not that I've ever done drugs. At all. Officer. Detective."
Joe Barnes leaned forward. "Yes, you've tested negative for drugs and alcohol when we brought you in. What do you mean by 'things got weird', kid?"
Neil's legs closed a bit, but his right hand came to rest on his tenting lap. "He started hitting me. You can't really see it in the pics but I was covered with whip marks. And I liked it. Fuck, I *loved* it. I spread my legs for him and everything and..."
The college boy clutched his head. "Holy... He fucked me. No, that can't be. I'd remember if I got raped in the ass, right?"
The detective felt the need to say something, just in case there was some truth to these claims. "If the experience was traumatic, the mind can-"
"No! I fucking loved it. I couldn't get enough of his dick. *If* what I remember really happened."
Joe Barnes cleared his throat to keep from bursting into laughter. None of this made sense but he was starting to think the connection between the three cases was an unknown person, rather than kids living out their fantasies after reading the same online bullshit.
After silence settled, Joe Barnes said, "But that doesn't quite explain the condition we found you in."
"Man," Neil said and slumped back into his nervous posture from before. "He must have taken my clothes. He's obviously an asshole. I mean, seriously officer, someone withdrew 5000 dollar from my account. That's a crime, right? You're looking into that?"
"We are," Joe Barnes said, thinking of the other perverts who had also claimed that money was stolen from them. "But as your drug tests had negative results we have to assume that you willingly exposed yourself to members of the public."
"Fuck." Neil rubbed his temples. "What is it? A year in prison?" He laughed bitterly.
"*Up to* a year, plus up to 6250 dollar."
"Fuuuck." Neil sighed. "Uh, sorry, officer."
"It's looking bad for you, kid, but prison's not a guarantee. The only thing that's for sure is from now on you'll show up as a sex offender."
Neil mumbled under his breath, hand still on his unrelenting boner.
The detective stepped outside where a colleague was already waiting with a grin.
"Guess what, Joe? We got a fourth one. Naked, hard, talking about getting sucked off by some guy."
The policeman glanced back at the door. "Hm, keep Mister Gallagher's file open a bit. Something's not right."
