Oddly enough, Jah never had to act. Not long after Paul had been taken to Riker’s Island, he slashed his wrists. As he bled out in the prison shower, he painted a mural on the wall in his own blood. It was the rough smear of a man who had a gaping hole in his chest. When Marlene left Paul, she took his spirit with her. Even before he died, there hadn’t been much more than a shell of the old Paul left. Jah took this as his wake-up call to get out of the game.

Marlene and Larry Love completed a lovely three-week cruise, where they made love every sunup and sundown. Marlene found it ironic that all this time she’d thought that Larry was the problem, but he was actually the solution. They both felt bad about sneaking behind Paul’s back, but it was just something that had happened. Larry happened to be there at a moment Marlene needed comforting and he was happy to oblige. Paul was his man, but he had no idea what to do with someone like Marlene. Larry was an expert on bitches, and would make sure she was handled properly.

When they got back to New York and found out what had happened to Paul, they both felt like less than shit. While they were away having wild sex on Marlene’s dime, someone who loved them both dearly had lost his freedom and his life. The worst part was he had gone through it all alone. They would have to live with the fact of knowing that they each played a part in what finally happened to Paul.

Six months into their relationship, Marlene woke up to find her car missing and one of her bank accounts totally depleted. Larry had disappeared with her heart and almost all of her savings. Paul’s best friend, who had rocked her to sleep, had in the end shitted on her. Marlene took an L because she went out like the very same kind of person she was always looking down her nose at … a hood rat!!!!!
