Elizabeth Kellogg’s roo a big white T-shirt and black leggings and she’s holding a portable phone in one hand and a burning cigarette in the other
I plaster a so, "Hi, I’m Heather This is--"
"Hi," the roo wide as she notices Cooper for the first time
Well, and why not? She’s a healthy red-blooded Aht resemblance to one of Aht," Cooper says, flashing the roorin that, if I hadn’t known better, I’d have sworn he’d practiced in the mirror and reserved only for extre-sado," the rooer in the chest than in the tush, with a lot of very dark, very curly long hair I can tell she’s sizingif I’, Marnie, if we could have a word or tith you about your for so rin, he nearly blindsCooper and I are not an iteirls--like Marnie and Rachel and Sarah--kno to do this, but I don’t?), she says, into the phone, "I gotta go," and hangs up
Then, her gaze fastened hypnotically on Cooper, she says, "Co me Marnie, I see at once, has done a pretty fast job of redecorating after Elizabeth’s death The twin beds have been shoved together to forer-striped bedspread The two chests of drawers have been stacked one on top of the other so Marnie now has eight drawers all to herself, instead of four, and Elizabeth’s desk is currently being employed as an entertainment unit, with a TV, DVD player, and CD player all within arm’s reach of the bed
"I already talked to the police about her" Marnie flicks ashes onto the tiger-striped throw rug beneath her bare feet and turns her attention momentarily from Cooper to me "Beth, I mean Hey Wait a ?"
"Me? No," I answer truthfully
"But you’re in the entertainuysa movie of Beth’s life?"
Before Cooper can utter a sound, I ask, "Why? You think, uh, Beth’s life has cine to play it cool, but I hear her cough as she takes a drag froarette She’s definitely a for-dramatic-effect-only sle you’d want to work froets herself killed on a stupid dare Can I play myself? I totally have the experience…"
Cooper blows our cover, though, by going, "We’re not with the entertainment industry Heather’s the assistant director of this building, and I’m a friend of hers"
