It was typical for girls to disappear from the Key. It was only a step removed from prostitution, and most of these girls were only working to pay for their and their boyfriend’s drug habits. A girl came to make money and get out.

Still, when Mary Ellen disappeared, Rose was sure something horrible had happened. Mary Ellen was a pretty and petite Latina lesbian with an overly friendly disposition. She was the first junkie I’d ever met, but even I knew she smiled more than heroin addicts were supposed to. Rose was sure that if Mary Ellen had taken off she would have said something first.

“Maybe she got clean,” I told Rose. “This could be a good thing.”

“No,” Rose said, “I bet it’s that bitch of a girlfriend.”

A week after Mary Ellen stopped showing up for work, the girlfriend came by looking for her, and that’s when Rose really started freaking out. “The girl’s heart was always too pure,” Rose said. “I shouldn’t have let her work. I should’ve known she’d do something stupid.”

I still wasn’t convinced of foul play. Rose told me, “You don’t know how the world works yet, Amanda. Men do bad things to women all the time.”

She was right, of course. I woke up one morning to Rose throwing a newspaper on my bed. There was a picture of Joel on the cover. He’d been pulled over for having a taillight out and the cops found the decomposing body of a woman in his car. They suspected he had murdered several prostitutes.

“Do you think he killed Mary Ellen?” I asked. Rose was sure of it.

At the Key there were two cops waiting for us outside. They showed their badges and Rose fainted into my arms, taking us both to the ground.

The cops helped me get Rose inside. When she recovered, they confirmed that Mary Ellen was dead.Her body had been found some time before but wasn’t identified until Joel admitted to killing her. Rose was furious. She punched the wall and cracked open her knuckles. The cops asked us all if we knew anything about Joel, but none of the girls said anything. They didn’t want to talk to the cops. I raised my hand. “I’ve been to his house,” I said.

We went into the fake bedroom and I told the cops everything I knew about Joel. Rose was right. I really did have no idea how the world worked. If she hadn’t escorted me to his house that night, I very likely would have been murdered.
