Soaked in Bleach Page #2

With a client when the phone rang.

Now who calls on Easter?

Would you excuse us for just a second?

The Grant Company, how may I help you?

And it was a woman's

voice on the other end,

Kind of a raspy, low voice.

Now if someone is unlawfully

using your credit cards,

Maybe the police are the

better people to call.

And then she said,

"My husband and I are"

"Kinda famous, and we need

to get this done right away. "

And your husband's name?

Are you kidding me?

No, no.

I was about 47 at the time; Ben Klugman,

My investigator, was 29.

He immediately knew who they were

And what had been going on, even in Rome

Just a few weeks earlier.

Because it was a holiday, of

course, there were very few,

If any, other private

investigators working, so she went

Through the Yellow Pages

and she found our ad

And I was probably one

of many that she called,

And I think she was probably surprised

To have the phone picked up.

What room number?

It's not very often that

a private investigator goes

Against his client, so I'm

sure she regrets hiring me.

When we were available to meet Courtney

At the Peninsula Hotel,

first thing she said,

And this is her words, they're not mine,

You leak this to the press,

I'll sue the f*** out of you.

Well, hello to you too.

How ya doin'?

Kurtis came from rehab

a couple days ago.

He bought a ticket back to

Seattle, but nobody's seen him

Since he got back.

When I first entered

the room, she was wearing

A negligee nightgown,

totally see-through.

She might as well have

had nothing on whatsoever.

I called the credit card companies

And told them that the card was stolen

And that they should cancel it.

Was it?

What?

Stolen.

No.

Courtney eventually told

us that Kurt's credit card

Actually wasn't stolen,

that she had called the

Credit card company and

canceled it so that nobody

Could use it.

She felt that that would,

essentially, cut him off

From any funds.

I'm sure your husband has

another way of getting money.

Are you kidding me?

Kurt is helpless, he

doesn't have any friends.

Again, in her words,

"You don't understand. "

"This guy can't even catch a... "

F***ing cab by himself if he wanted to!

Hey.

Hey.

That's my drug dealer.

I didn't know at the time

that this was supposed

To be an in-house rehab.

I learned that later, but a total farce.

Most of the time I was

with her, she was either

On drugs or doing drugs.

There was nobody overseeing

what was going on there.

Listen, Kurt escaped from rehab,

He bought a shotgun, and I

just feel like something bad

Is gonna happen, okay?

In the middle of all this

conversation, she keeps talking

About how suicidal he is,
