When she comes

Won’t be with no bums

Or end up in the sluot to be dressed

Only in the best

Never need to guess

Who her dad , borrow, steal, or fake it

But I swear I’onna make her

Proud of ht

Goin’ Solo albu to keep my outward demeanor cal to ? But I could have sworn that Tania and I never once used the word "husband" or even "o--well, --he senta folded piece of paper froot it a few days before Tania and I were married"

I take the paper from him "Okay," I say "Go on"

"Anyway, I didn’t thinkI’ a fact My assistant, she only passes on what she thinks is important Then I put it in one of three files--the Dad File, the Friends File, or the Crazy File If it seeht come back to bite irl who sends lances at me--"well, then I usually forward it to all oes in the Crazy File, which ht? All they want is to let off a little steaet of their freak, well, okay, whatever That’s cool Long as they don’t hurt anyone"

I unfold the letter "Keep going"

Cooper, wearing shorts and a T-shirt, a daoing on?" he asks curiously, seeing us sitting together

"Jordan says he got a letter from Gary Hall a few days before he and Tania were e in front of me "If you don’t" and "a million dollars" and "I will" jump out at erator, Cooper is about to go for what he’s been calling lately one of his "ood sandwich that involves a great deal of mustard,can tear him away froht it was a joke If Tania was ht? TMZ and Dad and stuff So it couldn’t be true It seeives Cooper a worried smile "Guess maybe I should have sent it to Dad, huh, bro?"

Cooper drops his hand away froerator door handle

"What does the letter say?" he asks carefully

I gaze at the neatly typewritten script

"It says that unless Jordan pays Gary Hall a o public with the infor a strange tightness in my throat, "and that they never divorced He’ll also cause Tania ‘a world of hurt’ "

"Oh God," Jordan says, burying his head in his hands "Oh God, oh God I knew I should have told you guys about this that night Bear got shot,you at those people’s apartht? And this little girl today would never have been hurt This is allhim Oh God"
