For Danny it was a no-brainer. His family had run out of food a week ago, and had been scraping by on an occasional fish that he managed to catch or t...ade cell phone minutes for. He could already taste a fried fish dinner with bread rolls on the side. They’d have pancakes tomorrow for breakfast.He said, “I’d work all day for half that.”“I’m making arrangements to get some beef. Maybe we’ll get that later this week,” Betsy said.“Beef? Lady, I don’t know who you are, but all you have to do is ask. "Only if you fail to please me in bed." Then it is your intention to buy me?" Why would I not? Darius has informed me he will sell you quite cheaply." Hasn't he told you... ?" Yes, I know all about your unfortunate adventure. Surgery can repair the physical damage. What I am buying is the vixen within." Then why this meeting? Why not just buy me tonight?" Two reasons. First there is the matter of the baby. If I impregnate you, you will be allowed to keep the baby, but I will not allow you to. Maybe I was the station Romeo! Oh well, keep on playing the part.Then my next thought was this is moving fast, a little too fast. I could barely understand what was going on. Here was this exquisite girl from the other night here in my house. Then I looked around at the surroundings, shabby chic they call it now. But it was embarrassingly untidy. Then a horrifying thought came to me. She was using my toilet, my contemplation space, the place I kept some unsuitable magazines. Busted!Oh shit! Oh. Jimmy rushed out the door. She decided she would make sure he never went to work hard again. The thought made her happy. She hummed an old hymn as she started to clear the table. Her long unused but still rich and vibrant voice filled the room with song.There had never much to sing about after Bob made her into a whore. She was positive the rotten son of a bitch planned it for a long time. He had been so slick about it she never realized how it was probably in the back of his mind for months.
