Yes, but Homosexual overtones are present in every chapter thus far and
they are present here as well. DL is a Bisexual character and Prairie
doesn't fail to notice this. Notice that the brush she turns on DL was a
gift shoplifted by one of Prairie's friends. Later we will read more
about Prairie's shadow girl friend and shop lifting at the mall and we
can trace the family shadow //s  from Prairie's maternal grandparents to
her girl pal.  Zoyd gives Prairie the business card and tells her to
keep them teen bimbo legs closed. The card hooks her up with DL. DL
takes her to the Sisterhood company where she works in the kitchen.
Prairie still has her Frenesi-Virginity. DL is gonna pop her cherry. And
why? Why is DL gonna do that? Because the girl wants it. And, DL wants
it too. 

Prairie is a side of beef, pork, hot potato ...  passed from Frenesi to
Zoyd to Sasha back to Zoyd, who, when he heads up to Vineland drops the
kid off with friends for a few weeks ... she gets dumped here and there
... spending a lot of time with Hub and Sasha and their friends and
daughter's kid. Zoyd passes her off to I-24 and now DL swoops in and
takes her off to her business sisterhood. 

Keep em legs closed? 

How about, don't trust anyone, Prair. 

I-24 did promise her old man he would look after her. 

He's not. 

Too bad, cause I really like that kid.
