my coffee.
    Then it dawns on me. The only reason he wouldn’t make a play on the power stations is if he knows Nal is holding a trump card. That is why he hit the guys on the east side and why it looks like he took over the north. “He wants to pull me out in the open.” Seems like someone else knows how to do his research.
    “What is the plan, then?”
    “Let’s take a trip up north, see things for ourselves.”

    We pull into a parking lot somewhere close to the barbecue joint where my friend Jim used to take me to. The thing I loved most about that place was the smoked ribs. It’s a shame they were only open three days a week. I could never remember which days they were open or closed. Usually that just meant that I was just stopping off for a burger somewhere instead.
    “What are we looking for?” Sara asks while grabbing the bag of chips from my hands.
    “Jason and Mark were in charge of a prostitution ring on this side of town. The first order of business is to see if the girls are still in service.” I reach over and take my chips back. Why is it women never want anything from the store until the moment you go to eat it? My wife loved doing that with fries. After a while I made it a point get another order of them, otherwise I wouldn’t get any of them.
    “Are you sure we are in the right spot? There is nobody out here.” She takes the bag of chips back, hiding them between her seat and door.
    “It’s still early. The girls are usually split on the northeast and southwest corners. One on each corner.” I pull the lever, reclining my seat. “Wake me up when you see something.” If she is going to snag my chips, she can take the watch. Maybe if it’s boring enough, she won’t want to come along.
    It takes a while with all the crunching, but eventually I fall asleep.

    My eyes jar open when I hear a popping sound in my ear.
    I sit up to look for the source of the noise. When Sara breaks into a maniacal laughing fit, I know. Guess that means the chips are gone.
    “See something?”
    “The girls just stepped outside.”
    I open the glove box and pull out a pair of binoculars to take a peek. Nancy and Lacy drew the first shift. Glad to see the normal girls are still here. “Let’s wait here for a few minutes and see if anything happens.”
    I keep scanning the area looking for anything odd. Nal has always made it a point to stress what I would do to them if they decided to go into business for themselves. The upside to his management style is that he has no problems trusting his guys with anything. From there, the trust usually passes down the supply chain.
    I catch a glimpse of a guy about a block away keeping a close eye on the girls. Someone has to have taken over because they don’t realize the girls are probably the most trustworthy ones of the bunch. Nal takes good care of his girls.
    I start the car and drive towards Nancy. “Okay, I just need you to act natural.”
    “What are you going to do?”
    I look over and smile. The look in her eyes is one of concern. Or is it pure terror? It doesn’t matter, because it’s too late to turn around.
    I pull up to the corner and roll down my window. On cue, Nancy walks over to the car.
    “Looking for some company tonight?” Nancy bends over, her breasts struggling to stay inside her loose fitting shirt. Those were her main selling points. The other girls hate working the corner when she is out thanks to them. Not that they hated her, she is a doll. They just hated that her 38Es leave them standing a while longer between customers.
    “Why yes, we are.” I look over at Sara. She is looking at me, wide eyed, shaking her head.
    Nancy looks in closer. She must notice I have company in the car. “I don’t do threesomes darlin,” she says.
    “Oh, it’s not a threesome,” I say. “I just like to watch.” I flash a toothy smile which she returns.
    “Two hundred an
