Asking a prostitue to come to your hotel room is one thing; but how do you handle being pressed up against the wall because you are being forced to pay the prostitute more money than you agreed?
Holden had quite an experience being forced to pay a woman extra money for a night that never happened. When he first met Sunny, he assumed she was nervous. But now Sunny is expressing an intereting change in dominace and confidence. She takes five more dollars out of Holden's wallet as he is being cornered by the large Maurice.
Maurice was the one that got Holden a prostitue in the first place. But Holden didn't realize until the next day that Maurice and Sunny were working together. This basically makes Maurice Sunny's pimp.
Holden didn't see that coming...

I think you're right about a lot of this. It would definitely be tough being in Holden's position, since he kind of brought this upon himself by accepting Maurice's offer in the first place. When he starts to get nervous, however, he tries to make her leave. I think this whole experience just made him realize that this isn't the life he wants to live--judging by his lack of interest in the prostitute, at least. He breaks down when Maurice comes to get more money, which shows that he really can't handle this experience he's putting himself in.
