─Her Favorite Girl─

IT TOOK three hours for Sean to call me back. I tried his quarters on Level C, then his office, leaving messages on both answering machines. He was most likely spending the day raping, torturing, and killing the decommissioned Favorite Girls on Level E, and I had no number for that floor.

He was out of breath when he answered the phone, saying, "What do you need?"

"I want to buy another Favorite Girl."

Silence on the other end for at least ten seconds.

"Another one?" he finally asked.

"Yes."

He laughed. "Are you fucking stupid?"

"Can I do it or not?"

More silence. Then, "Which one?"

I looked at Flora, who studied my face for a sign of approval or denial. It was her wish. She should be the one to pick.

"I don't know yet," I told him. "I want to see them."

"After lunch."

"So that's a yes?"

"You're a goddamn fool, you know that?"

"I know."

He laughed again, less heartily this time.

"Tell me something," he said.

"Okay."

"What'd that girl do to piss you off?"

I hesitated to answer. The question caught me off guard. He really had known it was me who beat up Liu.

"She didn't do anything," I said.

Then I hung up, turned to Flora, and nodded.

My entire stay at Your Favorite Girl, Inc., I'd just been biding my time while I awaited an inevitable death sentence. With that phone call, I just voluntarily cut my time in half, and yet the smile on Flora's face made it worth the consequences.

We were both doomed. Might as well speed up the process while improving the quality of life for one of us. I certainly didn't deserve happiness, but Flora did. She would be my focus from here on out--her and Judy. Watching Flora celebrate in silence, I vowed to die for her if necessary. For both of them.

Noon was approaching and I was getting hungry again.

"Want to order lunch?"

"I am pretty hungry."

"What are you in the mood for?"

Flora shrugged. I wasn't sure either.

"I could go to the cafeteria and see what they're serving."

"Okay."

Flora stood there with her hands behind her back, tapping the toe of her shoe on the hardwood. I could tell something was wrong, so I asked.

"Nothing," she said. "I just . . . I haven't been out of this room since you brought me here."

Of course, the poor thing. She just wanted to come with me, get out of here for a little while. Why hadn't I thought to take her around a little? No one would have a problem with it, as long as I stayed with her and we didn't leave Level C. Hell, with Mr. Shriver gone, I could probably get away with taking her with me to the Showcase Hall and letting her pick her own Favorite Girl.

Maybe that wasn't such a good idea, now that I thought about it. Those girls had been her classmates once. Seeing them drugged and tied up in a display case, some of them transformed completely with cruel and excessive tattooing and piercing--Frog, Diamond, and Glow in particular--might traumatize an ingenuous person like Flora.
