"You look a bit heavily clothed to be applying to be a stripper."
"I'm not here for that," Erin responded. She opened her satchel while he was still formulating a response and grasped her club-knife.
"What else could you be here for? My guys saw you in the back where all the strippers are." Before he could say anything else, she vaulted the desk to get behind him and used her club to put him in a chokehold. She let the base of the blade out to intimidate him and the bouncer in the room.
"One word and he dies. If you don't cooperate, he dies. Now, then, I need some information. What do you do back here?" She applied some force to the man's neck, choking him slightly. "Talk."
"B-back here? We... We-- Dammit, loosen your fucking grip!" Erin complied. "We cast strippers, yeah. But we also do a bit of prostitution, but only to the girls that let us."
"Go on. How do the girls get their job?" The employer swallowed some saliva. Erin brought the club up behind his jaw. "Talk!" She allowed the man some breath again.
"Well... Some strippers, we just give them the job. If a bouncer makes a request, their job kinda depends on how loose they are." A spark of fury erupted within Erin. She bared more of the blade.
"So you manipulate these girls into having sex? Does your manager, Franco Tavish, know anything about this!?"
"Yeah, it was his idea--" Erin applied force to his throat again. "He struck-- Struck a deal with-- the bouncers-- he wouldn't have-- to pay so much!"
Erin sheathed her blade and loosened up on the man. "Take me to him. Preferably, through the staff-only areas." She brought her gun out in her left hand and jammed it into his back. "I'm going to talk to him."
"With all the stress about the 'Perfect Companions', it was a logical move!" She whacked him with the club in her right hand.
"Maybe the voluntary prostitution, yeah, I get that. They had the option and they took it. But I won't stand for this. Some of these girls weren't given a choice. I'll show you the wrath of Gorgo if you don't take me to Franco. He's going to get it either way, but I'll let him live."
