T. Lynn Ocean - Jersey Barnes 01 - Southern Fatality - Plot & Excerpts
Bill told me over the telephone from Las Vegas, after interrogating me as to the status of my investigation. He had never before been concerned with any case I was working, and even though Lolly was an old friend of his, I didn’t appreciate Bill trying to micromanage how I dealt with her. Unaccustomed to discussing my work with anyone other than Rita and Ox and sometimes Spud, I asked why he was so anxious about Lolly and her situation. “Because I’m the one who got you into this thing to begin with,” he said. “True,” I agreed. Changing the subject, I asked about his Vegas photo shoot. He confessed that they made him wear Roman warrior headgear and carry a long-handled spear, adding that the only other part of the costume was a thong fashioned from real copper. Ouch. “Did the metal thong, uh, damage anything down there?” “No, it was only metal in the front. The rest of it was made from cloth. And before you start giving me a hard time, you should know the job paid six grand, even though I’m worth much, much more.”
