Approaching a date on the Scotian stroll. [Print from ATV video tape]

The night of September 14 was a particularly profitable one for Taunya, Teri, and Gizelle—twenty-five hundred dollars in total, including the three hundred Gizelle had charged for a “golden shower”—a bizarre procedure in which a client masturbates while the prostitute urinates on him. Taunya’s theory was that men who wanted this and other services involving verbal or physical humiliation were managers, business owners, or other powerful people who needed to be abused to feel a sense of reality in their lives; she recalled one corporate executive in Montreal who paid her one hundred and fifty dollars an hour to scold him, then comfort him by holding him in her arms afterwards. As the three girls arrived at the hotel, still giggling over Taunya’s story, they saw that Bullet was in the room—not a good sign—and their playful mood evaporated. Their pimps were grouped around one of the beds, and when Taunya peered past the Big Man’s massive bulk she recognized Star Franklin, a prostitute of about fourteen who worked for a Toronto-based Jamaican pimp and thus was off-limits for even a conversation with one of the Scotian girls.

Eddy, seated in front of Star, was demanding that she answer him when he told her she had to choose him—or stop working. Infuriated at her stubborn silence, he barked: “You wanna call your man? Here, call the motherfucker! I’ll deal with him!” With that, he snatched his cell phone from the bedside table and tossed it into Star’s face, smashing her front teeth. Blood streamed from between her lips, and Eddy laughed hysterically as he wrenched the weeping girl’s hands away from her mouth, then hauled her into the bathroom. The girls could hear him taunting his young victim, ordering her to look in the mirror and guess how much she’d be worth on the street now. Gizelle shook uncontrollably as she listened to the man who had flattered her into joining his “family business”; Taunya, patting the nervous girl’s hand, warned her to keep quiet.

The next move was to take Star into the bedroom of the hotel suite, where Eddy, the Big Man, Slugger, and Bullet briefly conferred about how best to send a message to their rival that the Church Street stroll belonged to their family. Since she refused to join them, she would simply disappear: the sobbing teenager was thrown onto the bed, and Eddy shoved two large pillows against her head as she struggled wildly, terrified of being smothered. That was not the plan. Bullet drew his gun and slid it between the pillows to reduce the report, then prepared to fire. “Not here,” Slugger suddenly intervened. “Too many people around, man—that guy in the lobby saw her come in with us. This is not a good place.” The Big Man agreed. Star might have been destined to become a victim of his private turf war, but this would not be her night.

With Bullet back in town,
