The Dream Machine: Juanita and Ai-li Start Their Worknight

Shaking off the weird feeling, Jay left his bedroom and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. His mom and dad went out to eat with each other at a fancy restaurant, leaving Jay at home. But he was okay with that. He needed time to finish his homework. He was going to get an easy "A" in most of his classes, especially the ones he liked, like math and science. ------ "Now you two bitches remember," Pepper Jack said, out the driver's side window of his car. "I want two grand from each of you by the morning. Anything more you get, you can keep. But if you don't get at least two grand ..." "Dun worry, popi," Juanita said, in her thick Latino accent. "We gonna get wut ju wan." "You better, bitch." Juanita and Ai-li stood on the street corner (right now they were the only hookers there ... in fact, they were the only hookers in *town* ... but not for too much longer), watching their pimp's car drive away. Once the car was out of sight, they began walking around, thrusting their chests out and wiggling their hips, trying to get noticed. After all, they needed to make some money.
