"How do you know Erin?"

"Another verboten question?" Jess eyes you mischievously. "Miss Erin isn't going to be happy with you and... don't you think I'd just lie to you or cover for her?"

"Well, not like it matters," Jess is as fickle as she is hot. "I met Erin, Miss Erin, because we share several personal interests. She's from the city, I'm from the suburbs, and we both like making life miserable for others and promoting our own self-benefit."

Jess and Erin are a terrifying team. Erin is athletic and commanding, Jess is young and lures others into thinking she's innocent. There's probably a litany of sordid affairs the two did, but those are stories neither girl wants to share with you right now.

"More of an alliance, really."
