Patrons at Flamingos Club saw a recruitment effort Tuesday evening. A cash-strapped newcomer received a coordinated pitch for paid sex work from two regulars. A well-dressed local and the club's bartender offered promises of easy money. A female associate discussed Salopri drug arrangements and debts nearby. The newcomer left without committing after a business card changed hands.

The Ledger has learned that Flamingos Club appears in Sheriff's Office intelligence as an entry point for Port Laveau's trafficking network. Sources close to the Syndicate's community liaison office note that unsanctioned Salopri affiliate activity inside licensed venues creates disorder. This invites outside scrutiny and endangers the town's stability.

A Sheriff's Office spokesperson said: 'Port Laveau welcomes newcomers. What it does not welcome is predators operating without arrangement.'
