"Sit," I ordered and she obliged.
The look in her eyes made me fear her answers to my coming questions. I straighten up, facing her directly. She looked at me, then the floor, then the ceiling, then me again, and I couldn't keep my eyes off her.
"What do you want to ask me, Hunter?" she finally said, cutting through the utter silence that hanged between us solidly.
"Tell me everything that happened."
"Nothing happened, I just got hold of another source of money."
"From who?"
"A man that came to the coffee shop every morning."
"What did he say?"
"He told me he can help me with anything I need."
I remained silent for her to complete.
"And I told him I need money to bring you a gift back then. He said he would give me, and so I went with him to his office."
"You went with a stranger to an office? Are you serious, Pearl?"
"He looked harmless."
"Just continue," I was fighting with everything I had not to snap at her.
"He gave me an offer. He told me if I satisfy some people-"
"What?!" I lost it. I knew those words. Satisfy people. Satisfy women when every thing you need is only money. I knew those words by heart. I know where this is going. I know who says that. I know him too much.
"What's his name?" I asked her, clinging to my thin thread of hope.
"Drew."
I know him.
He hired her.
She has her customers now.
She smiled, "Now we can work together," she said, looking at me like she had never did before. "You have your bitches, and I have my-"
"No, Pearl. Don't say it."
