The whole business should have been history, but it didn’t feel like history. She couldn’t figure out why, until she got a page from an unfamiliar number.

Most women in the business had gone to cell phones for business, but Diana planned to stick with the old pager and pay phone system for as long as she could. She found it more secure. She dropped coins and punched buttons.

“My name is Len Howard,” said a male voice.

“Oh. Mr. Howard.”

With most new clients it took some effort to pry a name out of them. Mary Alice must be right about Howard. He was in the giddy, reckless stage of this new hobby. He might be seeing two or three women a day.

“Gifts in the two-hundred-dollar range are appreciated,” she told him.

“That’s fine. The Savoy Motel?”

That surprised her for a moment, but it shouldn’t have.

“You understand,” he said, “Current political factors make it necessary for me to stay out of Warren County for matters like this. Don’t soil the nest, you know what I mean.”

“Of course.”

“I hope you know that this situation won’t last. It’s an unfortunate necessity.”

Fucking us and then arresting us, Diana could have said but didn’t. Unfortunate, yes. Necessity, I don’t know.

“Whatever you need to do,” was what she did say.
