. Lots of anger, I said. He always had a bad temper.It got worse after the accident.It was like hisemotional barometer was off he just did or said what was on his mind.I mean,I m his aunt and he s talking aboutjizz in a booth at Il Principe.I wasmortified.Important people dine at that place. Gavin was talking loud? Page 106 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html His voice kept rising, and I had to keep telling him to lower it.I tried toreason with him, told him women weren t machines, they needed to be cared for,sex could be fun, but it had to be mutual.He listened, actually seemed to betaking it in.Then he slid over in the booth, and said, Eileen, thanks.You re awesome. Then he grabbed my breast in one hand, the back of my headwith the other, and tried to shove his tongue down my throat Gio? A refill,please. *Milo pressed her for more on Gavin s sex life and the family, but once she dgotten past the basic hatred, there was nothing.He steered the conversationto Gavin s tabloid fantasies. That, she said, is another thing he was impressed with my work in theindustry.He kept asking me to hook him up with some celebrity parties, so hecould observe. She laughed. As if I d help him dig dirt on my friends. What was his angle? Unearthing filth and selling it to the tabs.He saw it as his journalisticdebut, he was going to make his mark as a journalist.I told him the tabs weretrash and full of lies, but he wouldn t hear it.He claimed they were morehonest than the establishment press because they were open about their goals. Filth. She nodded. After the accident, Gavin saw the world as one big ball offilth. I said, Did he make any progress toward being a journalist? Like take a course or get an internship? said Paxton. Not to my knowledge.I d doubt it.He really wasn t in any shape to go back to school or hold downa job.Too flighty he was drifting.Dropping out, sleeping in till noon,turning his room into a pigsty.I can t blame him, I m sure his brain wasmessed up.But Sheila didn t even try to set limits.And Jerry, of course, wasalways gone. Gavin did go into therapy. Because the courts forced him to. Did he tell you who his therapist was? Jerry did.Dr.Koppel.Like it was some big deal. She frowned. You know her? I ve heard her on the radio, and I have to say I m not impressed.All shedoes is preach morality to idiots who phone in.Why not just go to church? Using the present tense.Milo and I looked at each other.She said, What? Dr.Koppel was murdered. Paxton s face went white. What? When? Page 107 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html Couple of days ago. My God why don t I know that was it on the news? There was an article in yesterday s paper. I never read the paper, she said. ExceptCalendar.Murdered, omigod.Areyou saying it had something to do with Gavin? No, ma am. But she could it be coincidence? Your sister didn t seem impressed by that. My sister s crazy.Do you have any idea who killed her? Milo shook his head. Horrible, horrible, she said. You think there s a chance it couldn t berelated to Gavin? We don t know, ma am. Oh, boy. Paxton stayed serious for a while.Ate her biscotti and grinned.Back to coquettish. Now you re playing hard to get, Lieutenant. Not really, ma am. Well.I hope this has been helpful.I ve got to go. One more question, ma am.Do you remember that picture I showed you of thegirl who died with Gavin? Yes, of course.And I told you I d never seen her before, and that wastrue. Gavin talked to you about wanting to find a new girl.He told other peoplehe d succeeded. What other people? Let s leave it at other people. Mr.Inscrutable Detective, said Paxton.She brushed her knee againstMilo s. A new girl, huh? In Gavin s mind that could ve meant anything.Someone he decided to pursue, whether or not she wanted it.Someone he d seenon TV
