�Leave me alone, Tetchie.�
�Wur�s Jeck?�
�Not here.�
�Nu wander. Istap da ismuk, Gina. Chow da betel wid mey.�
�It�s the same thing.�
�Yah, but it dasent smell like dat.�
Gina ignored her. The cigarette smoke wasn�t bothering Tetchie, she thought; she was just looking for a reason to ask where Jack was. He probably did her a couple of times, too, for extra cash to support his vices.
You�re his vice, a voice inside her said. He says he does everything for you, lives his life for you and wishes he could spend all his time with you.
Well, he�s not with me right now, she replied despairingly in her head.

�Ay,� Eugene squealed, �here na he is!�
Jack tensed; the newcomer was tall, fair and chisel-jawed. The muscles on his chest fairly rippled. A wave of insecurity suddenly swept over Jack.
�Jack,� Eugene said, getting up, �meet Dennis Santos.�
They shook hands. Dennis stood at least half a foot taller than Jack, who was already towering at five foot ten.
�Hi, Jack.� Dennis grinned. They sat.
�Dennis is wan of my beast buyers,� Eugene gushed.
�Best buyers, Huge,� Dennis laughed. He turned to Jack.
�I bought one of your movies from him,� he said, �and I thought it was very well-done. Your acting was very good.�
A cynical eyebrow shot into the air. Really?
�You�re wasting your time with these films,� Dennis continued, �I want to build you into a real star. No more bold films.�
Jack couldn�t believe his ears.
�I will finance your way to the top. You will star in films I will buy especially for you. I will give you a decent house, and a fair monthly allowance.�
�Hee!� Eugene spat, rising to his feet. �You can�t teek awee my istar! I discavered him, I rist him like my own beebee!�
�Shut up, Eugene,� Jack hissed.
�I�ll give you three percent of Jack�s every talent fee.�
�Okee, sige.� He sat back down.
�But there are three conditions, Jack.�
Jack�s heart sank.
