The other two women were looking downward, avoiding Riley’s eyes. She asked the question more directly.

“Did Nanette ever do extra work anywhere else? Did she ever go out on her own without having a date made through Ishtar?”

The room was silent. Finally, in a barely audible voice, Tantra said, “She told me she’d just started working at Hank’s Derby.”

“What?” Mitzi said, sounding surprised.

“She didn’t want me to tell anybody,” Tantra told the other women.

“Jesus,” Mitzi said. “So she was turning into a lot lizard. She was in worse shape than I’d thought.”

Riley’s mind was buzzing with questions.

“What’s a ‘lot lizard’?” she asked.

“It’s the lowest class kind of whore,” Koreen said. “They work truck stops, like Hank’s Derby. It’s really a rock bottom life.”

“She was just so strung out,” Tantra said. “She wasn’t getting the clients she used to at Ishtar’s. She told me she wasn’t making enough to feed her habit. She said she was just doing it on the side. I told her how dangerous it was. I mean, hookers just disappear from truck stops without a trace, it happens all the time. But she wouldn’t listen.”

A cloud of gloom had settled over the women. Riley didn’t guess that they had a lot more information to give. They’d given her one important lead already.
