Because she'd beat it from a shady, hot-pillow motel, where the other occupant of her bedroom was a dead man!]]> Tue, 15 Nov 1983 06:32:11 +0300 End of a Call Girl https://language.library.land/william-campbell-gault/178760-end_of_a_call_girl.html https://language.library.land/william-campbell-gault/178760-end_of_a_call_girl.html
