[Sodium_noir] Killing Time at Harlequins

[Emily Wolfson]

Titus, Rachel, Lenny, Karl, The Tongs
Undead and loving it, Chinese as they wanna be

>>"Cash you mean?" Akabei asks. "Chinatown has always been very kind
>> to us.  Its a place where anything can be had for the right price.
>> We made enough to make a banker blush. the trade was worth around
>> a half a Mill and we took 10% straight off the top and .....
>> fringe benefits."

Rachel calculates in her head.  Half a mil sounds like a lot of money,
but it's only about fourteen hundred a night... which would be less
than thirty tricks at $50, but they may be undercharging.  The key
question is, how many janes do they have?  And just as she's about to
ask...

> ' Tell me about your relationship with the Chaste Dragon.'

Rachel takes a slight step sideways, to let the tong have a nice line
of sight to Titus.  Her own question can wait a moment.

[when they're done, once Titus is quiet again]

"I count no more than thirty tricks a night at fifty bucks average,
which means you're either shorthanded or undercharging.  This isn't a
small city, there should be plenty of demand.  Remember, indoor girls
won't even give a handjob for less than a hundred, so your
streetwalkers don't need to be hustling for twenties.  So fix it.  You
should be doing at least twice that money, and since the Khan will want
a percentage as well, I think you have an incentive."
