Under the Radar
Ace
I wonder how
working under the radar
really works.
I’ve
read books,
but I never really considered
how it might
be in real life to work under
the radar.
I know
that,
from reading Tricks by
Ellen Hopkins,
teenage
prostitution is a very popular
way of working
under the
radar.
I wonder how safe it really is.
I’ve
heard that some people
end up
getting killed as
both male and female
prostitutes.
I pray it doesn’t
come down to that for
me and Summer.
Right now,
Summer is passed out on
my shoulder
while we sit together
on this Greyhound
bus.
