    couldn't sink any lower in life, I become a
    fucking talent agent! Excuse the language, Miss

    She took no notice, only stared sternly out at the
    Gulf, where - at the farthest, bluest edge of
    vision - a tanker was dreaming north toward Tampa
    It fascinated me at onceBoats on the Gulf had a
    way of doing that to me
    Then I forced my attention back to Wireman
    "You're responsible for all of this, so-"
    "Bullshit you say!"
    " - so you have to be prepared to stand up and
    take your cut like a man
    "I'll take ten per cent, and that's probably too
    muchTake it, muchacho, or we start discussing

    pointed at his red eyeWhich really wasn't as red
    as it had been He picked up the contractThere were
    crumbs on it from Elizabeth's pastryHe brushed
    them off and handed it to me, then leaned forward,
    hands clasped between his knees, gazing at me over
    the imposing shelf of Elizabeth's bosom"If I had
    another X-ray, what would it show? That the slug

    "Are you still working on my portrait?"
    "Yes
    "Don't stop, muchachoBut don't get your hopes up too
    high, okay?"
    "I won't Then another thought struck him, one
    that was eerily similar to Dario's stated concern
    "What do you think would happen if lightning
    struck Big Pink and it burned flat with that
    picture inside? What do you think would happen to
    me?"
    I shook my headI didn't want to think about it

    plush auditorium seat it seemed it might take a
    crowbar to get him out again: Xander Kamen,
    peering up at me through his enormous horn-rimmed
    glasses and looking more like a minor god than
    everObesity had canceled his lap, but balanced
    on the bulge of his belly was a gold gucci watch ribbon-garnished
    gift box about three feet longHe saw my surprise
    - my shock - and made a gesture: not a wave but an
    odd, beneficent salute, putting the tips of his
    fingers first to his massive brow, then to his
    lips, then holding his hand out to me with the
    fingers spreadI could see the pallor of his palm
    He smiled up at me, as if his presence here in the
    first row of the gucci bangle watch Geldbart Auditorium next to my
    friend Wireman were the most natural thing in the
    worldHis large lips formed four words, one after
    the other: You can do thisIf I thought away from this

    laughed, but the sound didn't make me angry, as it
