Summary
Jennifer thought about replacing Skyhook and realised her personal need for a jet would be almost nil when she and Will were living together, so any replacement would have to be justified by charter use.
Work continued on the book, now called Beginners Guide to Sex Work, with input from others at the Redlite Ranch. They needed illustrations and while Cookie was on a three week shift at the Redlite Ranch Jennifer and Norma flew up to talk to her.
While they were talking they heard shouting. A pimp was trying to get George to put a girl to work but George refused. Clay, the maintenance man and bouncer, threw the pimp out leaving the girl in Shirley's office.
Betty Boop was asked to look at the girl who was high on something and had been beaten. Norma talked to her and learned she was a seventeen year old called Robin. Robin was terrified that Lonnie the pimp would come for her. Jennifer suggested she and Norma take Robin 'home'.
