"Okay, then," Jon said, humoring Karyn for a moment. "If she isn't your mother, then who is?"
"I don't have a mother or even a father," she answered. "And neither does Bethany."
Karyn's mom turned towards Jon and said "But we do have a master. And he loves us just as much as any parent would."
"Master?" Jon asked, again shocked. "What, you mean like the sexual kind? Karyn, what the hell are you into?"
"Jon, don't act so surprised. You know I'm into the whole bisexual scene."
"No!" Jon yelled out, then began pacing around in a circle. "No, no, no. Karyn, there's something really wrong with you. And your mother."
"Jon, I already told you. I don't have any parents. And I don't need any, either. Our master gives us all the love we'll ever need."
Karyn smiled, then Bethany smiled too.
What happened to Karyn and her mother? Had they been brainwashed or something? Why were they acting like this? Suddenly, he began to wonder if this master of theirs might be the cause of it. If only he knew who it was.
Then Jon's eyes lit up. Why didn't he just ask? "Karyn, who is your master?"
