flatly. “I gave you my share last week, and you said you’d pay them. Now they’re both past the due date.”
    “I paid those online,” Lola tossed off.
    “No, you didn’t. I checked.”
    Lola shrugged. “Well, I thought I paid them. What are you getting so mad about? It’s not like they make you pay extra if you’re late.”
    “No, but you get dinged on your credit score if you wait too long.”
    “That’s why you’re yelling at me? Because of your credit score?” Lola snatched the bills from my hand. “I’ll pay them now, if it makes you happy.”
    “Do you have enough money?”
    Lola let out an exasperated sound. “Why do you always ask me that?”
    “Because you don’t have Dick to borrow from now if you need it.”
    Lola’s eyes narrowed.  “What’s he been telling you? He made me take that money. He said it was a gift. Or I wouldn’t have taken it.”
    “Why did you break up with him, Lola? I thought everything was going good.”
    “Lot you know!” Lola flounced over to pick up her lap top and flop down in the chair by the window. She looked at the bills again, checking the amount.
    “What went wrong with you two?” I asked again.
    Lola tapped into her computer, opening her account. “He’s boring. He never wants to go out. And sex with him was like… snooze time. I never could get him to do anything fun. He’s always so jealous and weird.”
    “Sex. Is that what you want?”
    “It’s not all I want. But I want something better than that .”
    I was really worried about her. “Is that why you went to the Chamber last night? To find better sex?”
    Lola sat up straight. “What do you know about the Chamber?”
    “I know plenty. It’s full of guys jacking off watching people beat each other. Why d o you want to go to a place like that?”
    “How do you know I went there?” She gave me a look. “Dick told you. What an asshole!”
    “You went to that place with some guy you just met. What’s wrong with you, Lola?”
    Lola glared at me. “Wait, you’re on Dick’s side? I broke up with him!”
    I tried to sound reasonable. “He’s worried about you, Lola. Like I am. What kind of place is that for you to go to?”
    “You don’t understand. You don’t want to understand.”
    “You haven’t even tried to explain it to me.”
    “You’ve already passed judgment against me! Look at the way you’re talking and you don’t know anything about it.”
    I had to tell her. “Yes, I do. I went there last night looking for you. I was worried about you.”
    Lola’s mouth fell open. “You spied on me?”
    “Oh my god, Lola, I’m your sister. It’s not spying when it’s your sister making sure you aren’t choked to death and stuck in a dumpster!”
    Lola stood up, looking down at me. “And that’s not judgment? You think I would put myself in that kind of danger? Seriously, how stupid do you think I am?”
    I couldn’t speak for a moment. My throat closed in, shutting off all words. As stupid as me, I thought miserably. Lola was madder than heck, but I needed my sister.
    “It happened to me,” I managed to say.
    That stopped Lola, as realization slowly filled her eyes. “What happened to you?”
I clenched my hands together. “I let some guy tie up my wrists. But first I hit him with the ruler they gave me.”
    “You hit him?”
    “Yeah. Pretty hard. On his palms.”
    Lola was staring at me. “And then what?”
    “ Then he tied my wrists. He said some things… I got scared because I realized he could really hurt me. But he didn’t. Then it was over and you were gone.” I tried to bring the subject back where it belonged. “That’s how I know this stuff isn’t just play acting. It can get serious. You shouldn’t go to a place like that.”
    “Excuse me, big sister, but even I know enough not to mess around with a strange man. What got into you?”
    “ You went there with that old man you just met!” I hated to admit it, but I added, “And Victor is
