"You run girls too, Eddie. Isn't it quite possible that you've supplied girls for this club as well?" I asked.

"Whaddya want from me, Randolph, huh? A signed confession?"

"What kind of people are in this Immoral Society?" I asked as I lit a cigarette.

Eddie didn't say anything, so Ari turned around.

"I've heard they got Hollywood actors, singers, athletes, politicians. Anyone with enough money and not enough moral fiber."

I took a drag off my cigarette. "And Hoofers recruits strippers for this club?"

Ari nodded, "Yeah, but not just strippers. Any girls that sign up for dance lessons."

Uh-oh! Sounds like you need to take some well-choreographed steps to protect Jen Ann, Jake!

I think Eddie knows better than that. I didn't elaborate much on it in this one, but the way I described Ari in some of the other stories he's not someone you wanna mess with, little person or not!
