I didn’t rip Beth a fresh one when she reported on her field trip. She knew what she’d done. I think. She was more freaked out about having an orgasm when the cop touched her elbow than she was about maybe getting indicted for murdering herself.

She did the drama all over the kitchen while I bullied Jee into helping me make up a grocery list and Amanda played Super Mario. Reg was in Jee’s room, organizing her underwear drawer. He’d been quiet for hours. Jee was definitely the Jerk Whisperer.

“Focus, Beth. You could get arrested,” I said.

“Oh, that’s not happening,” she said and flapped a hand. “I found out how you can do this job, though. If touching men feels this good, no wonder you don’t mind having sex for money!”

“Goody,” Amanda said, not looking away from her video game.

“Are you calling us whores?” Jee said dangerously.

“We are whores,” I cut in before that could escalate. “I should know. I was one for eight years before I signed. Between what we do now and what I did then, the difference is hair-thin.”

“This,” Jee said, squaring off to me, “is going to be a problem. If you really believe that.”

I rolled my eyes. “It’s not about belief. It’s about the work, the actual mechanics, the fact that we fuck and we get paid. How is that different?”

Jee lost her temper. “It is! It’s different because we’re in charge! The Regional Office is a joke and we all know it! We took—” She gulped. “I took this job to get some power. I was a sex slave my whole childhood. I was broken and used up by the time I was recruited by the Regional Office. Big surprise, huh?” she jeered, when Beth goggled. “That work breaks women. It kills them. It kills their souls. Well, I’ve still got mine. My life was taken by evil men who sold me over and over. And now I get my life back. I feel alive again. That’s not prostitution, Pog,” she said, drilling me with a glare and turning aside.

I blinked. “I guess my years weren’t as bad as your years. Which is totally understandable,” I added, putting my palms in the air. How had we gotten into this conversation? Our lifestyle was based on ignoring this conversation. One of the perks was not having to have this conversation, ever.

Beth edged toward me and away from Jee. “Why did you sign, if you were already doing the work?” she asked me.

Wasn’t gonna tell her that. I shrugged. “I needed dental.”

Beth blinked. She sent Jee a scared glance. “I didn’t mean to belittle your suffering. Not at all. I’m sorry. I’m really confused.”

“It wasn’t you,” Jee snarled, hunching her shoulder in my direction.

And that was why we were having the conversation. And just one reason why Ish didn’t want to be here supervising us in the field, and why instead he’d sent the moron Reg to stand in.

This conversation was inevitable with every rookie.

I could see Jee would hold this against me forever.
