This is a one-scene short; it's scary.
Three young American football players want to date the cheerleaders but the girls aren't obliging in a physical sense, so the boys decide to throw money at the problem in a cruel, abusive fashion. The tables are about to be turned however, and we are about to learn why well-mannered kids should not go to the bad side of town at night.
I was hoping for a happier outcome (like bruising being makeup) and in determinedly dark fashion we meet only antiheroes and an antiheroine. This is an unusual read which might make you want to read more of the underworld stories by Gamal Hennessy, where the most exotic women are also the most capable.

The title of this series, Sex and Violence stories, tells the tale of what to expect. Each of the three installments I read had some of both. How each element influenced and drove the story varied, but each was critical. The plots swung from futuristic thriller (Afraid of the Dark), to borderline horror (The Replacements), to one that was on the edge of erotica (Bedtime Stories). Other than sex and violence, what all had in common was that they were well crafted, clever stories that drew me in quickly.
