call his bluff, he might bring you in, but most of the time its not a collar hes trolling for.
And G.K. was right. The cop went into this rap about working for Internal Affairs, just testing me, some line of bullshit like that. Whatever, I was done for the night. Thats another of G.K.s rules: any cop contact means your shift is over. And he knows Id never lie to him.
The interrogator, whoever he or she was, had the good sense or natural instinct to stay quiet. Let the whore keep rolling, even if that meant listening to her explain why she could have been a grand-an-hour outcall star.
So I was on my way to get a cab, she said, but when I saw that car, I knew it was something supernova. Maybe a pro baller, maybe an actor, maybe even an out-of-town player, trying to pull me. That happens all the time, she boasted, but my man knows he doesnt have to worry. Hes got my heart.
I remember thinking to myself, no way the Laws got a ride like that. I mean, it wasnt flash, it was just better, you know what Im saying? Way past anything I ever saw in my life. I know a Rolls when I see onewho doesnt?but to go custom on one? No way. Thats not bling; that is class.
That last word almost made her come. For real, for once.
The window slides down and I get over there quick, before one of those other But that wouldnt have mattered; it was me he wanted. Mink, he said, soon as I get close. So I knew hed been scouting me, using my name like that, she said, still excited about winning the pageant.
She tossed her store-bought dark-streaked mane of cornsilk hair, said, A thousand, cash. In my hand. Before he so much as touched me. I hadnt even gotten in the car! Anyway, we end up under the FDR. Dark, but not scary. Plenty of people close by there. Always is.
That front seat was big. Then he said I could have another thousand if I did exactly what he told me to do.
The man was way cool, how he put it. No bargaining, no games. If I didnt want the extra thou, I could leave right then. Just open the door and step out. With the money hed already given me.
She looked over at whoever was on the other side of the thick slab of matte-black material that formed some kind of table between them.
Naturally, I went for it. He gave me orders. Nothing special; nothing I hadnt heard before. He didnt hit me, or make me call him master or any of that scene, but he was very, very precise: get on all fours, unzip him, pull up my skirt .
When it was over, he saidGod, I swear I will never forget thishe said, You see? A whore will always do as she is told. You pay; she obeys. Whatever you want. Anytime you want. However you want. You want, the whore does. That is the world.
At first, I thought he was talking to himselfsome of them do that, especially afterwardsbut I couldnt help myself, I guess. I looked where he was looking. Into the back seat. And thats when I saw it.
Silence.
A baby ! Strapped into one of those little seats. I couldnt even tell if the kid understood a word, or what he might have seen, but it scared me worse than the time a trick made me suck off his gun. He put the barrel right in my mouth and made me slobber it good. When he cocked it, I
Maybe the interrogator made some gesture; I couldnt tell. But this time, it didnt slow the flow:
That psycho with the gun, he was doing himself at the same time, with his hand. He spermed all over the dash when I
Silence from the interrogator. Same result:
That timewith the gun, I meanI just kind of staggered out of the car, the hooker said. I remember throwing up. I remember pulling off my panties and throwing them away. Then I washed myself with every towelette I had on me. I couldnt stop shaking. I could smell myself.
But this, this was a million times worse. I cant explain it, but seeing that baby, thinking about it watching, I
