I was surprised when Donald picked me up this afternoon, outside the big house. Told me he owed me. Told me he would make me rich.

I’m still wearing the same grey suit and black silk shirt I wore in court. Even in a dive like the Slop Shop I’m conscious about the clumsy teardrop tattoos on my cheeks, the thick-lensed Coke bottle glasses the state provided, my patchy buzz cut.

Banyan sips his cream liqueur. “Donald says you can procure me a boy.”

I drink my cocktail and stare at the dancer. She stumbles and her glasses slip off her face, onto the floor. A man in the front row—wearing a camouflage jacket with the sleeves hacked off—steps forward and tries to grab her pussy.

“No older than nine,” Banyan drawls.

The dancer slaps the guy across the face.

“I need him by Friday night.”

The redneck shatters her jaw with one punch.

Banyan grins woozily at me. I feel hot sick rising in my throat as I nod my agreement.

Donald squeezes my shoulder.

“Atta boy, Peter!”
