Two days later, at the end of her shift, Lee paid Lyn for the week, S$3.45. As the girl stared at the pittance, Lee explained that her rent took a large portion. However, he had a new position for her. It would pay a lot more. He told her, in a tone that allowed no discussion, that she was to report the next evening to a lounge he ran on Geylang streets.
When Lynette arrived at the "K Star Karaoke," she saw the name lit in garish red neon. A pair of pink neon girl's legs topped the sign. Inside, there were other "hostesses" dressed in flagrantly sexual outfits, with lace and fishnet and sheer fabric. They were circulating among the mostly male crowd of older businessmen. The girls were drinking and laughing with these men and often leaning close to whisper in their ears. The men were often touching them intimately and even kissing on the lips. It was obvious to even inexperienced Lyn that the women were prostitutes.
Lee greeted the young girl at the door, took her arm, and steered her back to his office. There, two mean-looking men stood guard inside the door. Lee handed Lyn her 'uniform" for the night. It consisted of a garter belt with fishnet stockings, a purple sequined g-string, and a matching string bikini top with cups barely more than an inch across.
"Put that on and go out and please my customers, girl," Lee snorted.
“Oh no!” protested Lyn. “I couldn’t wear something like that.”
"Yes, you will! Though a new fresh one like you won't have it on for long. Your job is to get the men into the back rooms and earn me money."
“No! Please, please! I'm not a prostitute! Please, I don’t do that!”
"From what I hear from my friends at Changi, you have learned to do that and more," Lyn blushed deeply with shame at the reference to her time in prison. She had prayed that depravity was behind her forever.
"Now, get on the costume before I get angry."
Lynette was trapped in an impossible situation. However, for a moment, the shame and horror of becoming a whore was too much, even for the naturally submissive girl. “No. I'm leaving," Lyn cried, turning toward the door. The moment she did, one of the men slapped her hard, knocking the slight girl to the floor. The other picked her up like a small bag of groceries and held her up with her arms behind her back. The first man proceeded to pound at her belly, chest, and face with his open hands, hurting but avoiding bruises. When he stopped, the other turned Lyn to face Lee. The nasty boss stuck his fist in her face.
“You never, EVER, say ‘no’ to me, bitch. If you do, you will wish you never were born. Wong enjoys hurting girls. Understand?"
Lyn, coughing and quivering in fear as her head spun, nodded and managed to croak out, Yes, sir.”
“Good. Now you little slut. Get dressed as the whore you are and get out and earn me some good money.”
Lynette obediently proceeded to strip naked before the three men and don the shameful outfit. As she finished and started for the door, Lee added, "Remember, the customer is always right. Anything they want, understand. The bartender will give you the price list. Anything!” he repeated, “As long as they're willing to pay me for it." Lee laughed as he watched the girl's round, bare ass shake as she left the room. The scars from the caning mainly had faded but were still visible.
"I'll get me some of that before the night is out," he thought. "But first I'll get it nice and red!"
Since Lyn's arrest and punishment, the drug dealing business had gone exceptionally well for Roy and Wei Jie. Roy's clever street-smarts and his organizational skills allowed them to keep off the radar of the major dealers like Salakau and yet make good money at VJC and the surrounding neighborhoods. Roy had moved out of his father's dump into a fine new apartment not far from Lyn's former home. He even could afford to buy a one-year-old BMW!
Roy heard of Lyn's release and considered looking her up. However, after watching her being caned, live, and multiple times on recording, he feared that a regular date would surely be a disappointment.
That all changed when Wei Jie told Roy that Lyn was working as a prostitute for Lee Chun Wen. Lee was a cousin of Roy's father and an old friend of Roy's. The lad called him up and quickly arranged for a special, "unlimited" session with Lyn the next night.
Lyn waited in the VIP room in the back of the Club. It was reserved for the best customers and equipped with many toys and tools, and totally soundproofed. She shivered in terror at what might be expected of her tonight. In the four nights, she had worked at the Club, though she'd had to please many men, they had been only vanilla men who wanted plain sex and weren't too rough. However, she had heard from the other girls about the twisted demands of some of the customers, and this room boded evil. Her fear was heightened by her costume, a leather chain bikini that covered only a tiny part of her body and had sliver chains holding it on.
Just then, the door opened, and in walked Roy with an evil grin on his face. "Ok, you 'virgin' cock-tease, it's time that I made you pay for denying me all those times!" He snapped a riding crop through the air and menacingly approached the trembling girl.
Much later that evening, Roy emerged from the Club with a grin on his face. The night had been everything he's expected. He knew Lyn would never forget what he had done to her.
Roy punched the remote on his BMW and grabbed for the door handle. But as he did, three young Chinese men appeared out of nowhere, threw a sack over the lad's head, and threw him into a windowless van. The three, all with 369 tattooed on their wrists, jumped in after, and the van sped away.
Roy was never heard from or seen again in Singapore. A day later, Wei Jie flew to Jakarta, never to return to the Republic.
