Chapter Twelve

GiGi

“I told you everything I know, Officer.”

GiGi was being held in an interrogation room at the hospital. Between sobs, she told the investigating officer who had been called to the hospital everything she could remember. Everything except the part where she had started to transform into a panther in the middle of having sex with one of the city’s most beloved celebrity chefs.

The half-truth had been embarrassing enough. They’d been having sex. Things got out of hand, and she had scratched him with her nails and bit his chest. She had bitten and scratched harder when he had egged her on. And that’s all that the DuChamp family attorney would let her say.

“I’m sorry,” she sobbed. The attorney glared and held up his head. “No more, GiGi. That’s it.” Then he pointed to the officer. “She did not apologize, she committed no crime.”

“Stop!” she cried. “Somebody tell me if he needs blood. Does he need blood, because I can donate! I have a universal blood type!”

“Ms. DuGrey,” the officer said, “I just need you to calm down and tell it to me one more time.”

The attorney stood up and put a hand on GiGi’s shoulder. “Is she under arrest? Because we are done here unless you’re going to charge her.”

The officer glared up at the attorney and then looked at GiGi with an expression of not so much anger as concern. “Ma’am, you are free to go. For some reason, he won’t be pressing charges, against our advice. Probably because he’d like to keep this out of the tabloids. But I’m going to caution you to be careful of who you get mixed up with in the future. Drugs are not your friend.”

Was this happening? Was she getting a D.A.R.E. lecture now when Vann was lying in a hospital bed? Was Vann really not going to press charges?

She didn’t know she could feel so many things all at once: guilt, sadness, remorse, terror, relief, and guilt again.

And then, an overwhelming need to see Vann.

As the attorney led her from the room, she made a beeline for the emergency room.

“Not a good idea, Ms. DuGrey.”

“I have to see him.”

“Your uncle gave specific instructions—“

But then the attorney’s voice was cut off by a loud clatter of metal and a man’s voice booming, “Where the FUCK is she?”

It was Vann. He was okay. And he wanted to see her.

Gulp. Better go and face the music.

She freed her arm from the half-hearted grip of the lawyer and bolted toward the sound of Vann’s voice.

“Vann!” she screamed through her sobs.

“GiGi, where the fuck have you…ow! Get that fucking IV away from me, and no I don’t want any fucking Jell-O!”

The crowd around Vann made it seem that everyone in GiGi’s family, as well as Vann’s people, had descended on the emergency room at the same time.

GiGi’s stomach fell to the floor, and she felt like she was going to throw up. So. Many. People.

Rosemary, Aunt Betsy, and Uncle Lionel were talking to the attorney in one corner.
