After Midnight Page #3

---

I'm just going to go in there

and ask a few questions.

There's nothing wrong with

that. I'll be fine.

The Candy Cat welcomes...

...the sexy Zoe.

Hey.

Hi. You're new here.

I just came to get a drink. And

I saw you looking at me.

You remind me of someone who

worked here.

Someone very pretty. She got

killed.

Did you know her well... the

girl that got killed?

Well, you never really get to

know the girls, do you?

But Duffy, she was great.

Some of the other girls just want to shake

you down for tips and dances but Duffy...

she liked to talk.

She did? I mean what did she

talk about?

Hello. Are you here to apply

for a job?

You want to come over to the

bar and talk to me?

Yes.

Okay. My name is Rikki.

Connie.

Come on.

Bye, Connie.

Well, I do have to say that you

have a... very nice look.

And... we are kind of

shorthanded at the moment.

Yeah, I heard about what

happened.

Did you know her well?

Who, Duffy? Yeah, of course I

did.

And I take a very personal

interest in each one of my girls.

I mean I... I have to.

Why is that?

Well, because I'm like their

Mother Hen.

I've been there, done that and

these girls are like lost souls.

They're like kids that have foster parents

that don't care whether they live or die.

I guess they're really lucky to

have you.

Don't fool yourself. I am no

pushover.

You do junk, you rip off my customers, you

steal from me, and there will be hell to pay.

Tow the line or else?

That's about the size of it.

So, what do you think?

You want the job?

Yes. Please.

You've never danced before in

your life have you?

No. I just really...

I need the money.

Boy. Amen. Don't we all,

sister.

Look, I got a big empty hole in tomorrow

night's roster so if you want to show up,

you want to shake it a little bit. I don't tell

the girls how far they can go with the guys.

But one thing directly affects the other,

if you know what I mean.

I know what you're talking

about.

Okay, have your start paper filled out and

also what I need from you is your stage name.

Stage name?

Yeah. All the girls have stage names.

No one uses their real names around here.

Um... Ann.

Ann? Ann? Okay, well that's

kind of dull.

Do I fill out my

paperwork here?

No, you can take this paperwork

to the dressing room.

It's just down the hall and

introduce yourself to the girls

and I'm sure you will all get

along just fine.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm Ann.

Hi. Hey, do you know anything about these,

like, clasp fastener thingies?

I can't get this one to pop

like the other one

and it's just, like, not as

hot, you know?

Try squeezing it first.

It works! Thanks.

You just started?
