EXTRACT FOR
New Beginnings
(Faye Valentine)

Pulling into the parking lot of the Sunset Point motel Skye parked, got out of her car and looked around for room nineteen. Spotting it on the second floor of the building to her left, she made her way in that direction. Her knuckles hit the door once. It swung open and she was greeted with a gorgeous raven-haired woman with piercing green eyes wearing a purple babydoll and lacy thong. "V-Vicky?" The name was barely out of her mouth then she was kissed on the lips and pulled into the room that did not end until the door closed behind them

"Sorry about that but I have appearances to maintain. Skye I presume?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"You'll stop that right now. My name is Vicky and that's how you'll address me. Now, you're here to do undercover work so I need you Forget everything you learned at the academy except how to defend yourself."

"With all due respect I learned how to defend myself long before the academy."

"Good to know. You need to quit talking like a cop, standing like a cop and walking like a cop and start thinking like a prostitute. You need to get rid of this good girl image you've got going on and go full one-eighty. Join a webcam site and start showing off that gorgeous body. Hang out at strip clubs. Hell, get a job at one. Keep your eyes open. Make friends. Watch, listen, observe and take notes. Remember faces, nicknames and make sure to check in at the office daily. For the record, this is the office and until further notice you'll answer to me. Is that understood?"

"Understood."

"Good. Since you're new to town no one will know your face so I want you out there on the streets. With the exception of those hanging out on the Thirty-fifth street corridor sex workers in Scarborough have the luxury of being independent. For now steer clear of the thirty-fifth street corridor and concentrate on putting yourself out there."

"So, just so we're on the same page here, I'm to actually prostitute myself? You want me to take money for sex and actually do it with whomever pays?"

"That is correct. To be on the safe side insist on them wearing condoms no matter the sexual act and the department will pay for weekly testing. If you've got questions now's the time to ask."

"Are you undercover as a prostitute?"

"I am."

"To what end? I mean, if we're actually screwing the men are we arresting them?"

"Men and women. And no, we are not arresting them just yet."

"Then what's the point of going undercover?"

"To make names for ourselves on the streets in order to draw the attention of the Scarborough Sadist, infiltrate his organization and bring it down once and for all."

Even living halfway across the country Skye had heard of the Scarborough Sadist and the fact she was hired to bring him down excited and scared the hell out of her. Given the name for his penchant for inflicting horrible pain upon his victims on top of humiliating and degrading them, those that managed to escape more often than not found themselves in mental hospitals to deal with the trauma. "The Scarborough Sadist? Is that all?"
