Something Shocking

"Look!", Cassandra says, showing me her phone.

On the screen is a website. Most of it is just plain text with some links. Seems to be some sort of buy/sell page, sort of like how eBay used to look years ago. I read one of the entries:

"Looking for party favors tonight - 3 Girls, $700/ea"

"Baby? What is this?", I say, nervously.

"Well, it's kind of like Craigslist, but for... well it's for people paying for girls. You know, to come give them company, dance, things like that..." she says, unable to meet my gaze.

"So like, a site for hookers?" I say, very unsure where this conversation is going.

"No! Not like that. Well, not always like that. Like this post..." she says, showing me the phone, "They just want some girls to come to the party, and apparently they pay for that sort of thing, so it's not a total sausage fest. Or this post, they want some girls to dance at their club. Or this one, this guy is paying for a fake date to some dance..." she goes on, swiping the screen and showing me similar posts.

I notice she's quickly swiping pasts the posts explicitly asking for or offering sex for money.

"Well, baby, what do you think?", Cassandra says, eyes pleading.
