Smith
studied the call girl. She was
perfect for the job. Her wavy bronze hair flirted with her bare shoulders. Her
emerald eyes glowed in contrast to her perfect olive skin.
“Why
did you bring me here?” she asked.
“Why
do men usually bring you to hotel rooms Angelica,” he answered holding back a
sneer.
“Most
men just want someone who doesn't ask for anything more complicated than money.
Tell me why I'm here tonight. It's
still early. I can find a John that who won't play games. A girl has to make a
living.”
He
tossed her heavy bundle of twenty dollar bills.
“Something
tells me you aren't here for a straight lay.”
“Smart
and sexy.” He handed her a photograph. “Do
you know who this is?”
She
shook her head.
“That's
Judge Lawrence Steele. A rising star in the judicial sky. My associates want to
make sure he doesn't rise any higher. We want you to seduce His Honor.”
She
raised her eyebrows and handed him back the picture.
“I
think you have the wrong girl Mr. Smith.”
“You're
perfect for this Angelica. Judge Larry was head over heels for a girl who
looked like you back in college. It didn't work out and he ended up marrying a
blond homecoming queen from Oklahoma.”
“If
you think he'd be that easily seduced, he's probably cheated already. Why fake
it?”
“We've
looked. He's as faithful as a dog, loves his kids, pays his taxes. The bastard
doesn't even cheat at golf. So I'm offering you fifty thousand up front and
fifty thousand after.”
She
was silent for a moment as she let the idea of one hundred thousand dollars
roll around her brain.
“No.”
“No?
What kind of a whore turns down a hundred grand?”
“Mr.
Smith, you're the only whore in this room. I'm an honest hooker.”

As true a description of the average political operator as ever lived. I love how you juxtaposed the hooker with the whore--the contrast was perfect!
