“Do you think you’d be interested in seeing her so?”

“Yes - obviously,” I say sheepishly

“Am I the kind of man you would trust with your friend?” he continues

“I can’t see why not, well, actually she likes the vaet on”

He narrows his gaze when he looks at me now “I don’t think so, I’m not into wannabes”

“Huh? But aren’t you all wannabes?” I say a little harshly

“No – no we are not”

“So there’s a hierarchy to the sub-culture?” I probe

“You ht say that”

“Okay then, I just thought I’d ask anyhow”

I turn to leave but he grabs my arm “You really want me to see your friend?”

“I was only trying to be nice” I shrug
