Jamila

When it was her turn, Desiree climbed up onto the stage. She ran her hand through her hair and forced a smile. She began to dance. The club manager watched her squirm around the stage, trying to look seductive. The opposite of how Desiree was really feeling.

When the music stopped, the manager asked for her documents. When he saw she didn't have a work visa, he said she couldn't work there. But he told her there was another club down the way that might let her dance. He would tell them about her. The club was in a remote area, near the airport. As soon as Desiree got out of the car, the security guard opened the door and greeted her by name.

So Desiree walked in. The place had seen better days. It had some old chairs scattered around, there were these posters that read NO GUNS plastered all over, and next to the main stage, there was a big can of Lysol spray, for the dancers to sanitize the pole. I went there for the story, and I gotta say, I've been to some sketchy places in my life, but this one was pretty grim.

Desiree started working at that club the same day. Desiree still didn't know exactly what she was doing, but whatever she did seemed to be working. In just two weeks, she says she made almost $9,000. When they got back to the house, Jamila would watch Desiree and Kat count the money.

Jamila wasn't sure how much Zach really knew, but Kat seemed to want to keep him close.

Meanwhile, Kat was keeping Jamila busy too. Whenever she wasn't ferrying Desiree to the strip joint, there was always something else to do.

By the time Jamila had been there for a month, she began to worry. Kat hadn't yet paid her a dime.

After that, the atmosphere in the house became strained. Whenever Jamila was out of her room, Kat put on headphones and just ignored her.

That just made things worse.

Eventually, Kat seemed to realize Jamila was not going to back down.
