"Cuantos pesos?" the young man asked Lena Mendez, who promptly slapped him in the face. After all, Lena's no whore and didn't want to be treated like one. Undaunted, he then mentioned an arbitrary certain peso figure, and Lena's eyes flashed like an electric piñata. Asked later why she gave in so easily, Lena said she once held stock in Washington Mutual and driving a hard bargain is something a young woman must learn to do to survive in today's economy. Later she would go home and teach the village girls the pump and dump techniques the young man taught her in bed. He should know. He's a Wall Street stockbroker.
