Back to Tod’s story from Rescue Operation. As you may remember, he has waked up to find himself handcuffed to a cable. The last snippet ended with the comment “That one’s a beauty–make a lovely catamite.”, which is part of the same paragraph.
“Can we get them all in the transport?”
She’d nodded toward Tod as she spoke. Tod wasn’t sure what a catamite was, and he didn’t particularly want to find out. He was on his feet now, as were most of the others, and he took a harder look at the cable. He couldn’t get loose from the cable, and the cable looked solidly anchored inside the transport. Tammy was fastened to the far end, just before a hook dug solidly into the ground.

Great descriptive scene. Well done.
For those of us who do know what a catamite is, the outlook for our hero is not good.
Nice sense of tension, and that awful-for-the-character, great-for-the-reader question: ‘What next?’
