It was a typical Saturday night in Republic City and Korra was getting ready for her evening. She didn't have an appointment with a client yet, but she was always on call for the weekends. Korra was freshly showered and deciding on an outfit. She had several to choose from, all of them skimpy, revealing, or sexy in other ways. Before she was able to decide, her phone rang.

"Hey, Varrick." Korra said as she picked up the phone.

"Hey! How's my favorite girl?" Varrick asked.

"I'm just fine. You got a client for me tonight?"

"Oh, Korra, do I have a client for you! You're going to like this one. Deal of a lifetime!"

"If it's Tahno again, I told you I'm not..."

"No, no. Loud and clear on that one. He's blacklisted. Can't have clients that won't follow the rules. This is a new client. They want someone on retainer! Available 24/7! Not sure for how long, but at least a while."

"Wow, that's quite a lot of yuans. Who's the client?"

"Can't tell you yet, but I promise you'll like this. Not just for the money! And you're going to get money for this, believe me! The retainer is in place plus the normal time and services rendered fees and any expenses. But that part probably won't be an issue with this client. You'll need to sign some non-disclosure forms upon arrival this evening."

"Non-disclosure? They know what we're doing is illegal anyway, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, but it's what they want. The best part of this is that the client wants you exclusive to them, since they want you available 24/7. So they are going to pay us more to make up for whatever you're not making! Korra, we are going to make so much money on this."

"That does sound nice. I really hope it's not some creepy old guy. The last time you said I'd enjoy a client he had a heart attack during our session!"

"Korra, Korra, Korra. How often have I promised you anything?"

"Hhhmm. I guess never." That was true. Varrick stretched the truth a lot, but he had never promised Korra anything before.

"Exactly! This is a Varrick guarantee! And I never give those out unless I'm 120% positive!"

Korra laughed, her boss was quite the character. "Fine. Just send me the details."

"Will do. But just know that nothing is expected of you tonight. Dress comfortably, no need to get all...dolled up. This is a meet and greet and I've been told you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. If you're not comfortable with the situation in full, you'll still get paid for the evening and I find another girl." Varrick said.

"Why wouldn't I be comfortable with the situation?" Korra asked, now more confused than ever.

"Oh, trust me. You won't. But some of the other girls might. And to be honest, you're probably the only one I would trust not to screw this whole thing up." Varrick said. "But, if you don't want to do it, I can send in the second string."

"Second g-string you mean?"

"That's why I love you Korra! Always the right attitude." Varrick yelled, laughing again.

"Goodbye, Varrick." Korra said, rolling her eyes as she hung up.

Korra pulled up to the address she had been given. She was used to high profile and rich clients, but this one might take the cake. It was an apartment complex, the kind with a doorman, but that wasn't the only thing about the place that was luxurious. Korra had seen the advertisements for this place when it had been built. Each unit had it's own private terrace, hot tub, and most were two floor units. There were multiple gyms in the complex, so that you didn't have to do your workout with every single resident, just the ones on your floor. They were very close to downtown, so the location itself made the place expensive, but it was all of these amenities and more that made the price something Korra wouldn't be able to earn even in ten lifetimes.
