It is very cold tonight, as usual in Alberta winters. So really, which sex workers would be hitting the streets in such conditions, but the most desperate? And moreover, they are not going to stay there all night long. Maybe they will venture out in short bursts.
Finally, you see a bunch of girls in thick coats walking and waiting around, who have an air of elegance to them. No doubt, they are probably sex workers.
You get close to a cute blonde woman who seems approachable and outgoing. You lower your side window.
The woman bends down and smiles.
"Hello handsome, I'm cold here. How about $250 for a little bit of company, and maybe some fun?"
"Sounds good, I already have a room ready at a nearby model. Come on in and let's go."
"Great! Call me Lucy, by the way."
Lucy enters in the back of the car.
"Brrrrrr, it's so cold outside, I hate this place. I appreciate you picking me up. I'll make it worth your while."
You drive towards the motel, and have a bit of chit chat along the way. You pretend to be a businessman who came to Edmonton from Winnipeg for a meeting (which isn't very far from the truth, in a way).
You arrive, and you park. You enter the lobby with Lucy, and head towards your room.
Lucy seems relieved.
"I'm so cold, I have to take a long hot shower. The timer won't start until I'm done. But please, no peeking or coming in until then. Let me recuperate a bit."
"Sure, I'll make coffee for you, so you can get a nightly pick me up."
Lucy smiles and heads towards the shower. She starts it.
You prepare the coffee. Then you sit on the bed. And nervously wait.
You didn't mean to lie to that woman. But in these circumstances, it seems the only way to have a chance to figure out more about Beatrice. You're not sure how she will take it. Maybe she will be relieved of getting the money without actually having to do the deed? Or maybe she will be spooked and creeped out by the business you're getting involved in and will want none of it.
As you're lost in thoughts, Lucy emerges from the shower, with only a towel wrapped around her. It doesn't cover her very well, and one of her bare breasts is visible. You feel uncomfortable, but can't let it show. She motions towards you with a seductive smile. You look towards the coffee maker.
"Here Lucy, first take this coffee. I'm Bruno, by the way."
"Oh, thank you for being a dear Bruno. Nice to meet you. I appreciate your kind gestures."
Lucy walks towards the desk upon which the coffee maker and cup of coffee lies. She starts drinking.
"Thank you, I feel better now. Now, let me help you get more at ease. Maybe you'd like a good massage for a start..."
You feel more tense. She's a very attractive woman. You feel that if you let her do this, you might let yourself carried away. You, who recently married a woman you adore. You feel like you have to say something now before things get out of control.
"Lucy, I'd like to talk to you first. I'm sorry, I haven't been entirely honest with you. I mostly wanted to talk to you, because I seek information. It's about a girl... whose lifeless body was found a while ago. The police hit a dead end, or doesn't care.
I sought out a girl like you because I think you're my only chance to get to the bottom of this."
She looks stunned, then composes herself.
"Oh, so who are you, really? Are you law enforcement?"
A)Tell the truth
B)Deny being part of law enforcement
