Max

"Safe from who?"

"Geez, you must be really new at this if you don't even know that. Well, aggressive customers, for one. But mostly from other pimps and thier girls who are competing for business in the area. Most of the others working this part of the city work for a local crimelord. They can get pretty rough sometimes. That's why girls working on their own don't last long. But, they usually leave Max's girls alone." Trina explains.

I nod slowly. "That makes sense. But, you mentioned something about a crimelord?" I ask. I get a feeling I know who it is.

"I don't know much about him myself, other than there are a few pimps working under him in this part of the city. I'm not sure of his name, but there are rumors he's involved in other illegal activites as well."

That's enough for me to at least strongly suspect Gustav in this. It wouldn't be out of character at all. This also means I might not be safe here. Gustav knows I escaped without my money or clothes. If he's involved in some sort of prostitution ring, chances are he knows about this women's shelter, and that I might be brought here. Looks like I'll have to move again.

Considering what Trina has told me, it seems this Max dosen't work for Gustav. A rival, perhaps? If so, he might make a useful ally. Though I would not normally want to associate with someone in his line of work, I may not have a choice. At the very least, I might be able to better hide with him until the morning.

"Trina, can you take me to see Max?"

1. "Sure, Hari. There's a back exit that we can go through. His place isn't far from here."
2. "Now? No, the monks won't let us out unitl morning."
3. Before she can answer, our conversation is interrupted.
