"Marina? You still there?" Callie asked through the phone. "Hello?" Marina chuckled through the phone with disbelief. "Wait, seriously? You're kidding, right?" Callie made a confused face that Marina obviously couldn't see. "Uhm, yeah? Why, what's wrong?" Marina started stuttering, "I-I'm gonna go to sleep. Good night," and with that, she hung up. "Who was that?" Marie asked from behind Callie. "It was Marina," Callie replied, putting her phone down on her desk and counting the money that all the escorts made.

"What did she want?" Marie asked, writing a few things down on a clipboard. "Oh, y'know. Just checking up on us, I guess. Then she hung up when I told her about one of our employees that she knows," Callie explained. "Which one?" Marie asked. "Agent 8." Marie looked on her clipboard. "Hm, yeah. I hear they're pretty close," Marie said. "Oh, speaking of Agent 8," Callie said, "When was her last client?"

"Some chic named Metry requested her for an outcall around forty minutes ago. She still hasn't returned," Marie replied. "How much times has she been requested?" Callie asked. Marie started scanning her paper. "Seven times. She's been working since 6:00 PM." Callie looked at the time. "It's 10:30!" she shrieked. "Yeah, she's quite popular and she's only been here for two weeks. Can you blame everyone? The girl's got hips," Marie chuckled.

"I mean, duh. But that's more popular than almost all of our employees. That's even more popular than Agent 4!" Callie exclaimed. "Now that I think about it, why is Agent 4 so popular?" Marie asked. Callie snickered. "She's rough." They heard the door to their trailer open. "Speak of the devil," Marie said as Agent 4 came into view. "Got anymore runs for me?" she asked in her usual serious tone.

"Nope, but we'll let you know," Marie said as Agent 4 sat down. Just then, Hachi was at the door way. "Hey, 4. You're looking a little more grumpy than normal," he said as he sat next to Agent 4. She put on a sweet fake smile. "Hey, Hachi. You're looking a little more slutty than normal." He crossed his legs. "Glad you noticed."

Callie's telephone started ringing and she looked at the number before picking up. "Hi~! This is the Squid Sisters' Escort Agency, how can I help you~? I'm sorry, Agent 8 is busy with another client at the moment. Would you like to request someone else or have me call back when she's available? Of course. Will that be an outcall or an incall? Mhm, and your address? We'll have her over as soon as possible. Thank you for using our service~!"

"Who's it for?" Marie asked, ready to jot down all the information. "An outcall for Agent 4 at Mahi-Mahi Resort, 5th floor, room 14. Her name is Bamboo. I'd recommend being careful, she's part of the Yellow-Green Gang," Callie informed. "Understood," Agent 4 said and stood. "Any extra requests she made?" Callie shrugged. "Keep it interesting," Marie said. "Will do," Agent 4 said and left Octo Canyon.

Callie looked at the time again, it was about 11 already. "I wonder where Agent 8 is, she's been gone for quite awhile. Do you think she's okay?" She asked Marie. "Actually, I'm not sure. She's been gone for way longer than expected and she doesn't have a phone." Callie furrowed her eyebrows. " Who requested her last?" She questioned. "I don't know, let me check. So many people have requested her I didn't bother writing all their names down." Marie took out a sheet full of numbers and found the last number that requested Agent 8. "Huh, weird. I feel like I have that number." She said, dialing it into her phone. Ah, now she understood why 8 was gone for so long. "Of course, 3 called for her. She must've finally figured 8 out." Marie groaned.

"8, I know you want to help out but prostitution? Really? We haven't even had our first time yet-" Agent 8 interrupted. "I didn't let them-"
"Still!" 3 shouted. "3, we both know you can't keep working your ass off to pay rent! You work so hard everyday, and all I do is sit here and wait for you to come home! Nowhere else would hire me except Callie and Marie!" 8 retorted.

She and 3 had been dating for 2 months now, 3 took her in after she had been kicked out of her apartment for being an Octoling and the two couldn't help but fall for each other. Unfortunately, 3 wasn't able to support herself and 8 by working normally. Now she worked overtime everyday at the shitty bar she had been tending since she was only 14. Callie and Marie's grandfather had owned this bar, and employed her at a young age, leaving her practically cursed with working there forever. It wasn't like she could find a better job though. She tried to avoid Inkopolis's yakuza and prostitution scene as much as possible, despite being friends with those who pretty much lead it.

"8, I get it. But I can't fucking deal with the fact that you're out there stripping naked for some jerks and whores! God, 8! It hurts knowing that your girlfriend might be getting fucked at any hour of the day!" 3 cried, pulling at her green tentalocks. "And it hurts knowing that my girlfriend is out there working 16 hours a day and coming home utterly exhausted! And I know you're not safe at the bar, I've seen your bruises 3!" 8 shrieked. 3 flinched, she thought 8 didn't notice. "I'm sorry, 8. I just- I don't want you to do this. You don't need to do this! For now, I'm making just enough money to go pay the bills-"
Agent 8 scoffed. "You haven't taken a shower in a week, just to lower the water bill." Agent 3 crossed her arms. "Look, I'm making JUST enough money right now, but I promise I'm gonna find a better job. And I'll find you a job too. But for now, I need to work overtime, and you don't need to do anything. I love you too much 8." Agent 8 sighed. "Fine, but only because I don't want to stress you out even more."

Agent 3 gave the Octoling a small smile. 8 bent down to give her a kiss but was interrupted by 3's phone ringing. The Inkling shrugged and picked it up. "Hello-"
"3 I SWEAR TO GOD YOU BETTER BRING 8 BACK BEFORE I-"
"Oh, hi Marie! Before you continue I just wanna let you know that 8 quits," 3 sarcastically intervened.
"Fuck!" Marie shouted and slammed the end call button.

3 winced, rubbing her temples. "Ugh, sometimes I can hate her." Agent 8 led her to their shared bed, "Headache?" she questioned. "Yeah, just a little tired." 8 nodded. "Go to sleep baby, you must be exhausted." 3 only yawned and sprawled out on the bed. Agent 8 got up to leave but was stopped by 3's hand grabbing at her own. "Stay, please." 3 mumbled. Agent 8 smiled warmly and placed a kiss atop 3's nose. She got into bed with 3 and pulled her close.

"Fuck!"

"What? What's the matter?" Callie raised an eyebrow at Marie. "We just lost our money maker," she groaned. "What? 8 quit?" Callie asked with a hint of disbelief. Marie scoffed. "Oh, 8 didn't quit," she said, putting on a jacket over her slutty outfit, "3 did it for her."

"Where are you going?" Callie asked as Marie opened the door. "Where do you think I'm going?" Marie asked. "Marie, just wait until morning please," Callie groaned. "What? Are you kidding!? She was our best employee! She only worked here for a two weeks and everyone requested her! We can't just lose her! What am I supposed to tell our regulars?" Marie exclaimed. "Jeez, you are such a fucking moron, Callie!" Hurt, the Inkling flinched at her cousin's choice of wording. "Marie, let it go," she said in a serious tone. "Why? Why should I?"

"You let 3 go."
