ABBY FOUND OUT what that conversation was about when she arrived for her shift the following afternoon and saw Manny waiting at the door for her. He pulled her to the side as soon as she walked in, and he explained that she no longer worked at the club.

She was confused, but immediately angry. Her first thought was that she needed cash and a place to stay. Without her job at the club, she had neither. “That’s bullshit! What did I do?”

“You didn’t do anything Abby. You remember your client last night?”

“I had a lot of clients last night. Did someone complain?”

“No, no one complained. The blond-haired guy, he bought you a coffee or something?”

It was coming back slowly. “Yeah, what about him? He said something about wanting me to run away with him or something. I told him to take a hike. Did he bitch about me, ‘cause I didn’t do anything out of line, I swear.”

“No, no. Listen, he told me last night that he didn’t want you working here anymore. I laughed and told him to fuck off, but he wasn’t kidding. I’ve never heard of the guy before, but I guess he’s a big deal. There’s some tough-looking dude and a chick sitting in my office waiting to take you to him.”

“So what, this guy wants me fired, and that’s that?”

“He’s not just some guy, Abby. He’s connected. There’s nothing I can do.”

“Well, if he’s connected, then he can get me my job back.” She pushed past him and threw open the door of Manny’s office to face her chaperons.

The woman could tell Abby was unhappy the moment she walked in the room and did her best to calm her. “My employer just wants to speak with you. If you don’t like what he has to say, then you can be on your way.” She smiled, though she knew her employer didn’t just ‘speak’ to anyone. He commanded and got what he wanted, especially from women.

“Fine,” Abby sighed. “Let’s just get this over with.”

On the way to the meeting, they offered to stop off at Abby’s poor excuse for an apartment so she could grab anything she might need.

Abby laughed. “There’s nothing there I need, honey.”

“My name is Elyse, not honey. My employer plans to bring you to G’s tonight. Do you have a nice dress you could wear?”

Abby raised her eyebrows and used her hands to indicate the skintight, sequined, black miniskirt and tube top she had on. “This isn’t good enough?”

She shook her head. “Never mind. We’ll do a little shopping first.”

Two hours later, Abby sat at a candlelit table for two in the back of a very exclusive restaurant wearing a short, black, designer dress that cost more than she had brought home in the last month. She was actually a bit nervous. Elyse gave her a quick bump of the white powder to help take the edge off, though her foot still tapped anxiously on the floor as she waited.

“Can you at least tell me his name?” Abby asked.
