A NEW FRIEND IN HARD TIMES

Ken and I arrived at the Oriental clinic in a 2minutes time of walking and we snuck in through the back door.

Ken indeed had a room where he took breaks with other workers.

We walked in and we were face to face with a guy and two ladies sitting around a table playing cards.

Ken: Flame, meet the strays.

Me: strays?

Ken: Yeah..

Me: ...

Ken: Yes, I will explain.

These 3 strayed too close to the sun.

I caught these 3 sneaking into the supply room and so I locked them in and called the security who wanted to call the police. I saved them by giving them an offer.

Steve: yeah, he blackmailed us into free labor. That's got to be illegal.

Ken: So is breaking and entering.

Steve: Shut up, ( he turned to me and said) Hi I am Steve.

(Pointing to the girls he sat with playing cards)

That is René and that's Darling.

Me: Hi, nice to meet you

René: Nice to meet you too

Darling: Yup.

Ken: Sit with me. Do you play?

Me: Sort of.
