"Good help's hard to come by," she said. "But he's got it where it counts. Believe you me."
She then laid a hand on his thigh. She ogled him. Worse than that, he looked up at her and smiled back.
I blanched and looked away, feeling a little sick. What the hell kind of place was this?
"Anyway, here is our fee," said the old woman.
She scribbled a number down on a piece of paper. I looked at it.
"But that's much more than what's listed on the application," I said. "I'm paying in advance. If anything, shouldn't I be getting a discount?"
"You're Ross Bardot's daughter. You can afford it. Plus, I have a feeling we can give you some really expedited service." She said. "Will this be cash, check, or charge?"
This was all ridiculous. What was I doing? Was this how I wanted to lose my virginity?
But Sandy had recommended them.
She'd said if there was any way for me to find the man in the shadows, the man from my dreams, then this would be it.
Fine, then. I would pay their fee. I would see what results they turned up. I reached for my purse.
Chapter 9
After I paid, the old woman quickly disappeared. The receptionist led me down a narrow hallway.
Along the passage were paintings that were vaguely obscene. They were all done in an impressionistic style, so you couldn't clearly see what you were looking at.
But I felt sure each one of them depicted two or more people fucking, and in very strange positions.
Well, this was the First Time Taboo Agency, I thought. The paintings sort of made sense.
The receptionist opened the door to a room. I looked inside. It was a small room with a big window overlooking the city street.
There was a single desk inside. There were two pencils, a test booklet, and an answer sheet.
"Just let me know when you are finished," he said. "There's no time limit, but it shouldn't take more than an hour."
I nodded to him. Then I went in the room and sat down at the desk. He left, shutting the door as he did so.
I opened the test booklet. Everything was multiple choice. At first, the questions were quite trivial.
The first question was as follows:
What's your favorite color?
a. red
b. aquamarine
c. amethyst
d. black
This didn't seem fair. My favorite color was green. It wasn't even available. So, I marked "b" for aquamarine.
The whole test went on like this. Asking questions but never giving me the answers I would have chosen.
The questions got stranger as I went on.
