MONDAY | 2400HRS | PECKHAM, LONDON

Cold winter wind blew through the midnight streets of London. People believed it is a safe city for its fast paced environment. But not all of it.

This part of London is isolated from others by reason of the location near the graveyard and dark alleyways that no one dared to come alone, especially at night. But it does not apply to people who works on mostly at night.

"I had a great time." a young man said to the prostitute as he parked his car beside the sidewalk.

"Well, I'm not prostitute for nothing boy!" the prostitute jokingly boasted her profession while checking her clothes for the last time.

"Well this is your payment for the service you've given me. I hope we can meet again someday." the young man said to her after getting his wallet, pulling out a big sum of cash and giving it to her.

The prostitute gasped in surprise at the amount the man tried to give her.

"Boy, this is too much." the prostitute hesitated as she is going to push it back but the man insisted, "No, you needed it more than I do. And besides, you did an exemplary job for your profession. You earned it".

He smiled at her sincerely while gripping her hand gently. The woman smiled back at his gesture then kissed his cheek in appreciation.

"Girl! Looks like you hit the jackpot today," one prostitute exclaimed towards Allyson as she got out of the car she gave her services.

"Shut up, Marissa. I just got lucky today." Allyson replied to her as she closed the door and waved goodbye to the man as it drives away.

"That's your first customer this day and you already got like the amount of 3 customer's pay? It's more than lucky, girl! It's a miracle!" Marissa said to her while she was smoking and adjusting her coat.

"Well, he was a good guy. Just a sprinkle of love is needed, something that his wife cannot shower him." Allyson explained to her as she is getting a stick of cigarette from the box.

"Why, because his wife is too prude? Why did he marry that girl in the first place if she cannot provide his sexual needs?" Marissa complained as she was puffing the smoke out of her mouth and crossed her arms in annoyance.

"Well, we will never know. We give services and talking about their problems is not included." Allyson answered her as she put the stick at her mouth and lit it.

Marissa just sighed at her response and just puffed her cig.

As they were waiting at the sidewalk, facing the graveyard across the road, a cab slowly passed by the sidewalk. They looked at each other in confusion because at this time in this street, few cabs pass this road.

The cab parked in front of them, slowly the window rolled down as an old cabbie peeked and winked at them.

They sighed in relief. False alarm.

"Hey, ladies~ How much for one night?" the old man asked them as he was ogling at their bodies up and down.

Allyson was about to say her price when Marissa shut her mouth with her hand and shakes her head in disapproval.

"Oh no, baby~ He is mine, girl. I didn't get a customer today." Marissa said to her as she flaunts her body in front of the old man.

"£50, sir. You in?" Marissa seductively asked as she was teasingly opened her coat at the old cabbie to see her skimpy clothes.

The old man licked his lips in anticipation.

"Sure baby~" the old cabbie agreed to her price as he clicked his car door open.
