"I'm the one doing what's illegal." Jack points out with a long sigh. That was the truth of the situation and how the police usually came at the situation too. The prostitute more likely to go to jail that their abuser.
He didn't know what else to do as the singer went through bouts of shock and anger. He just wrapped his arms around him and held him. He pressed a kiss to his wet hair and shrugged. "They can get a lot of money selling a virgin's first time. It's how a lot of us end up working the streets to start with. We get thrown out or run away."
There was no sense in hiding the truth from the singer. It probably was for the best. It wouldn't be unheard of for Hunter to come looking some day and find out from the others that Jack had been knifed or killed in the streets.
Jack pulled away and stroked the singers shoulders. "You can be here tonight. This is the life I have to live. Not everyone's at the top."
Jack just accepted his life after so long in it. His eye was a casualty of things too, damaged from a beating but the patch gave him some ability to terrorize some of the rougher clients.
