"You can hire a reputationcompany to check the web for you, and initiate action whenever they find the video, but the truth is that the video is out there as well as still iame from here on in"

"Great," I said, rubbing my forehead in frustration "What the hell? Why won't police do so?"

"It takes a lot of man hours and results in few convictions," Pete replied "They figure they have better things to do that tracking down these pop-up websites for porn, I guess"

"Why even bother having the law on the books, if they aren't going to prosecute those who break it?

"We can try," Pete said, but his tone said he doubted it would be worth the effort

"I want to try," I said, deterly posted the video or allowed it to be posted should pay "That video is revenge porn Surely it's illegal to post a video of that kind It was a rape, even if they were still dating That's why she told Blaine she wanted to end it He started to get violent with her and it wasn't consensual"

"It's illegal," Pete said "But it's just a misdemeanor We'll take care of it as best we can When police finally get Blaine, he'll go right back to jail for a long time, and then this will be over"

"What happens until then?" I asked, angry that there was so little we could do about Blaine

"You have security in place We'll do everything we can to remove the videos from the web That's about it Let police do their job and we'll do ours I know a good reputation ement company that can help"

I shook ator to try to find Blaine Do you know anyone withto take on a job like this?"

Pete shrugged "Sure I know a few forht be willing to try to find Blaine It'll cost you a pretty penny, though That kind of investigation is expensive"

"I can afford it"

Pete nodded and pulled out a rolodex "I know souy is scary I wouldn't ever want hi Former British SIS/MI5, new A motherfucker, and smart"

"Great," I said and took the business card with the man's name written on the back and a cell number
