So he said, "After their pretentious attitude at his place, I walked away but two men followed me claiming to be escorts but I had to lose them. It is obvious now that I am very confused. I do not know what to think about them again. They seem harmful and harmless at the same time. So I came to you to see if there was any way you could help me with some details about them."
