He works by night in the shadows, selling contraband party pills while maintaining a charismatic presence at the club Chez Lui. In the midst of flashing lights and tense rumor, Raid scans the crowd as undercover police activity becomes a looming threat, setting a charged first encounter with a new figure, Eric.","Call Me Boy  \nby Loki Renard  \nPublished by Trouble Books  \n[http:/](http://lokirenard.com)[/lokirenard.com](http://lokirenard.com)  \nCopyright © 2011 Loki Renard.

Good boys keep their noses clean, pay their taxes and respect authority. Bad boys are messy, often pay their dues in blood, and respect no authority other than their own.  \nRaid was a bad boy, a very bad boy indeed. He was aware of the fact and it did not concern him in the slightest, in fact, being a bad boy was pretty much essential to his way of life. You didn't get ahead in the world if you weren't prepared to be at least a little bad. Sure, you could get a regular job and scrape by, begging and borrowing and putting yourself in hock for a house and a car and everything else that came with a paint-by-numbers life, but that was hardly what Raid aspired to.  \nThe night was his workplace, the shadows his friends. Whilst good men slept, Raid was out on the town plying his wares. On the night he met Eric he  \nwas visiting one of his better outlets, a club called Chez Lui. He skipped the line of men waiting outside, nodded to the bouncer and went on in. Raid didn't wait in lines at any of the clubs in the city. Lines were for average men,  \nand Raid was not an average man.  \nAs he made his way through the crowd inside the flashing lights of the club caught his perfectly toned abs. Did he work out? Yeah, occasionally, though most of his exercise these days came from running from the cops. A twenty block sprint burned far more calories than an hour at the gym, and gave him a high like no other.  \nAppreciative glances came from all sides. He was not a large man, but every inch of his five feet and eleven inches was made to count. The mesh shirt he wore was perfect for exposing the dark, sweeping lines of the tattoo that ran over his shoulder and the right side of his upper chest. It was a tribal  \ndesign chosen to honor his heritage. A mixture of Irish, Spanish and Pacific Islander, Raid had cashed in at the genetic lottery. His skin was a caramel brown just past olive, his hair was dark, but in sharp contrast were pale green  \neyes that often drew compliments from strangers.  \n“Hey Raid,” Charles the bartender greeted him with a broad grin as Raid emerged through the crowd and claimed a spot at the bar. Raid was a regular  \nin this place, even if he hadn't been selling his merchandise, the pounding bass and constant shifting mass of male flesh would have lured him into effectively making Chez Lui his second home.  \n“Hey Charlie,” Raid returned the grin, sliding a slim packet of party pills across the counter. Were they legal? Technically no, but Raid didn't feel so much as a pang to his conscience. He wasn't harming anyone. Chez Lui was an adult bar full of adults able to make their own choices. Charlie slid an envelope back to him, an envelope stuffed to the brim with cash. Raid stuffed  \nit into the front pocket of his jeans. Safer there. His backside was exposed to  \nthe casual groping of too many men with boundary issues to be safe haven for cash.“Any news?” He leaned sideways against the bar, resting the weight  \nof his body on his forearm as he scanned the club, looking for anyone or anything interesting.  \n“We've had a few cops in lately. Undercover Johnnies.” Charles'Britishness slipped through the carefully cultivated American accent he put on. Charles was an import, though unlike most British imports who did their  \never loving best to make the most of their accents and otherness, Charles had  \ndone his best to assimilate seamlessly into American culture. He'd even developed something of a twang that he used at times to confuse people. Unfortunately for Charles, there were certain signifiers of a life lived in the  \nBritish Isles that were harder to get","cbCailFzr9fnnQ4t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailFzr9fnnQ4t","pdf",448587,4,76,"English","en",105,"# Chapter One\n## Two kinds of men\n## Raid’s lifestyle and the club Chez Lui\n## Party pills, cash, and undercover cops\n## A new arrival: Eric","[{\"question\":\"What sets Raid apart from “good boys” in the story’s opening?\",\"answer\":\"Raid embraces a bad-boy code, treating disregard for authority as essential and viewing rebellion as part of his way of life.
