CHAPTER 4



When it was nearly seven o'clock Casey and Joni were still on Joni's new laptop. Now they were exploring websites.

"Hey, check it out, Joni. They have sites for online dating. I heard even kids go here," said Casey.

"Online dating? But we're only eleven. Who'd date us?" asked Joni.

Casey went into the chat room. There were a LOT of different profiles.

"Check this out," said Casey. "This guy sounds cool. His name is Vence1 He has golden blonde hair, loves horror movies, and he's thirteen!"

"Thirteen? Whoa. He goes to seventh then. Middle school. Oh, he sounds fine," said Joni.

"Fine is an understatement."

"Let's check this out."

Joni clicked on Vence1's profile and saw his e-mail address.

"Do you wanna mail him, Joni?"

"Sure. I'll check back later to see if he mails back."

Then a knock came at Joni's door. "Uh-oh. Better close this," said Casey. They bent down the top of the computer.

"Come in," said Joni.

Matt opened the door. "Hi, Daddy. What's up?"

"How's it going, Uncle Matt?" greeted Joni.

"Hey, guys. Casey, come on. It's time for dinner," said Matt.

"Oh, coming. Catch you later, Joni. And tell me if you "hear" anything," said Casey.

"All right, Casey."

Matt and his daughter left out of the bedroom. Upstairs in the Camden apartment Dante had been playing his new video game since he'd gotten home from school. He was still playing it in his bedroom.

"Dante, dinner!" Sarah called.

"One minute, Mom."

The curly haired boy put his new game in a shoe box with his other "not allowed" ones. He went to the dining room and sat down at the table with the rest of them.

"So what were you doing in there?" asked Matt.

"Just some homework," replied Dante.

"Right," said Casey sarcastically. Dante shot her a look.

"How was work?" Dante asked his parents.

"I saw another teenage girl with AIDS today," said Sarah.

"Whoa. That's funny. So did I," said Matt.

"Didn't they use condoms?" asked Casey.

"My patient didn't exactly have a choice. She'd been raped," said Sarah.

"Whoa. Only a girl," said Dante.

"That's not true!" snapped Casey.

"She's right, Dante. It happens to guys, too," said Matt.

"Yeah," said Dante. "I'll bet not as often."
