Black and Brown were standing by. I brought Black with me. "Stay here and make sure to defend the house." I told Brown. He nodded and then began patrolling around the small perimeter of the house. The gang members were both quiet as they watched Brown go. I looked at them and said "I'm ready when you are." We then walked around the neighborhood and made our way to a strip club called "The Frisky Iguana". We went inside and a lot of people took notice of us. It was not too hard when a centaur enters the building. "Mike. Brucie. I'm glad to see you back. Who the hell are they?" an older woman said flanked by three strippers. The two gangsters smiled and I watched them go to her. "Thanks Momma. We were fighting when this guy killed a couple of Blades with a 'droid" one said. She stroked his head and the other looked jealous. "I fought hard too Momma. How about petting me a bit too?" She cooed gently at him and pulled him close for a hug. He greatly relaxed his shoulders and sighed out loud. The woman looked at me with a piercing look. "I'm Kaitlyn Savil. Call me Momma."
Momma was a Najja sex worker. She wanted to know what I wanted. "I was tired of having to duck for cover every time some idiots want to do a drive-by. The 9 Blades even tried shaking me down." She nodded and looked at the centaur. "I take it that that's yours. Is it your bodyguard or something?" I nodded and said "Yes. I helped build him myself. I asked them if I could join you guys." She looked me up and down. I felt like a piece of meet in front of her. "You look alright for an Alkali. You have to do a routine for us. This is a mainly sex worker gang after all. You can do a strip routine or a private dance. You can be a DJ or a bouncer for a full week if that's more your thing." "That's the barrier to entry?" I asked. It seemed a really low bar to enter a criminal gang. The others laughed at me. "Killing a bad john, pimp or a rival gang member is a requirement. You already did that. If you need to join right away, you can always fuck some members in the back. Fuck three members that want you. You don't get to refuse any. Over three gets you some added privileges." That was not what I was interested in.
I saw a stage with three poles. There was a main one with a long runway. The one on the left side was just a circle with a pole. On the right side was a short runway that led to the pole. I decided to go for the strip routine and a pole dance. They looked impressed. "Alright. The trial period is a week. You have to do at least one routine per day. One of them has to be done during primetime." Momma said. I sighed and said "I might as well get today's round over with." Some of them wolf whistled at me and cheered as they led me to the dressing room in the back. I got to pick out an outfit. I picked bright lime speedos and some tight black pants. I had a black mesh shirt with a lime jacket. To go out with the outfit on would be pretty bold. I went out anyway. I was stopped when I tried to go to the runways. "You have to wait until we call you out for your routines." Momma said. "I just hope you don't lose too many customers. This is my first time." She shrugged. "All this is pushing the boundaries. We all need to start somewhere. Some of our best dancers fell off the stage their first time." she gently assured me.
