Vince Blackwood, the enigmatic bar owner, sits at a table near the back. His piercing blue eyes scan the room as he sips his whiskey, waiting for the young girl who applied for the waitress position.

The door creaks open, and a young woman steps in. She looks around nervously before spotting Vince and making her way over. She’s in her early twenties, with a hopeful but uncertain expression. He leads her into his office down the hall and sits on the big leather chair]]

"Come in, come in," he says.

"Cool place," you tell him.

"Thanks, I like it. Siddown," he says, indicating the couch.

"So," he begins. "How'd you hear about the club?"

"This girl at a half moon told me about it," you lie.

"Oh aye?" He looks interested. "Who's that?"

"Can't remember her name. Aussie girl? Mousey blonde? Um...kind of a big forehead?"

He shrugs, losing interest in your intentionally vague and useless description. "What'd she say?"

"That you hire backpackers to work topless."

"Aye, that's right. As bargirls too," he adds. "Dancin', shaggin'...less hours, better money. You ever considered that?"

"No thanks."

"Aye, well, your choice, obviously. And you can always change yer mind later, most girls do. So...what's your story? How long you been in Thailand?"

"About nine months," you lie. "With the odd border run."

"Oh aye. Can I see yer passport?"

"Sure." You fish it out of your purse, and hand it over.

"Laos," he murmurs. "Where did you stay when you were there?"

"Vientiane," you lie.

"Oh aye? That's, ah, got some monuments, right?"

"Very expensive."

"Aye," he smiles knowingly. "So, let me guess. Yer travel money's running out, maybe some pals have gone home, but you wanna stay on. Right?"

"No," you shake your head.

"Got a boyfriend out here?" he asks.

"No."

"Okay." He nods, like he's heard the story a hundred times before. "Well, you look okay, and we can get around the blue book. Shifts are four 'til two, and the pay's 600 Baht, cash each day. If the punters like you, we can give you enough shifts to earn nine, ten K in a month. How's that sound?"

"Sounds great," you say, bobbing your head along.

"You keep half yer tips," he says. "Word o' warning, though, the bargirls dinnay like it if it rains too much money at the bar. Way they see it: you wanna make bank, you oughta be working upstairs, same as them."

"Alright," he nods, and you feel a little rush of excitement in your stomach. Have I got the job?

Then he keeps talking. "Let's take a look at ya, then. Stand up, kit off."

Fuck. "Okay," you nod. You knew this was coming.

"Skirt too," he prompts.

It's weird because despite feeling vulnerable and despite not being attracted to him – you're not – you feel a tingling in your groin anyway as you stand half-naked in front of him. What the hell is wrong with me.

"Keep going," he says, indicating with a wiggle of his finger that your panties should come off, too.

A moment's hesitation. Then you obediently peel them down, and drop them onto the couch.

His eyes run appraisingly down your naked body. "Those tits could hammer a nail," he chuckles appreciatively, "very nice. Turn round."

You turn around, showing off your backside. With mirrors everywhere, it doesn't feel like you have any more modesty than when you were facing him.

"Nice, nice," he says. "Verrry fuckable. Okay, turn round, I'll need some pictures to show the boss."

You take up a position, back to a bare wall. All the walls are bare; this is such a bachelor pad. No nesting instinct.

"First one's fer the cops," Connor says, handing you back your passport. "Need to prove yer not underage. Hold this open for me."

You hold up your passport. Connor holds his phone up sideways, looking at you through the screen. It looks like a brand new Samsung Galaxy, but if he bought it in the night market, who knows?

"Bet you dinnay get ID'd often," he chuckles. "That's a stonking set o'knockers."

Flash-click. Flash-click. Flash-click. Nude photos for the local police force. Great.

"Okay. Now some fer the boss." He takes your passport back, and tosses it onto the bed.

You force a Pan Am smile onto your face.

"Much better." Flash-click, flash-click, flash-click! You hold the smile while the camera phone captures another dozen or so nudes.

"Right, turn round."

You turn and face the wall. "Verrry nice," murmurs Connor as the camera clicks away. "Yep, boss man'll like this."

Boss man. Ian used that phrase, too – is that British slang, or could it be British Army slang? Connor may be ex-British military: another lead to check out.

Click, click, click, goes the camera phone. At least your face isn't in these ones. "Okay," he says, "that's enough."

"Did I get the job?" you ask, turning back.
