CHAPTER 21

PATRICK

Patrick, in his well-polished Gucci loafers and sharply cut Armani suit, looks every inch the successful Costa del Sol businessman. He likes to describe himself as ‘working in real estate’. But behind the charming, diamond-toothed smile lies a cunning mind always on the lookout for a crooked cocaine deal and a pretty girl. As we walk up the narrow streets of Marbella’s old town, his dark brown eyes scan the faces and shapely bodies of every female who walks by.

‘I can’t help myself. I love women.’

If that sounds like the words of a romantic man with a healthy interest in the opposite sex you couldn’t be more wrong because Patrick – in his mid-thirties – ‘runs’ a number of apartments on the outskirts of Marbella that are occupied by some of the city’s most beautiful prostitutes.

For Patrick is a cocaine dealer, who also does a bit of pimping on the side. Yet he’s surprisingly open and proud of his ‘dual career’. ‘They’re my bitches and they don’t do nothin’ without my permission,’ he says, without a hint of embarrassment. ‘They all love me and will do anythin’ I say. That’s the way it’s always been. I make sure they have a little blow when they want it. But I keep most of my coke to sell to my clients.’

Dutch-born Patrick has no doubt he’s hit pay dirt by setting himself up as a cocaine-dealing pimp on the Costa del Sol. ‘The girls come here from all over the world because there are so many rich men – and women – who want easy sex and cocaine. I got English girls, Caribbean, South American, German, Eastern European, Russian, you name it. If you want somethin’ a little different like a tranny, I can put you in touch with the right people.’

All the more remarkable is that Patrick’s girls actually appear to adore him. No doubt it might have something to do with the fact that he controls every aspect of their lives and ‘feeds’ them enough cocaine to keep them happy – and thin. ‘Hey, coke is the perfect thing to help them keep their weight down and that’s good for business.’ The pimp–hooker relationship is steeped in mystery and to the casual outsider it must seem unfathomable. But as one of Patrick’s girls explains: ‘I’m his bitch. He tells me what to do and I do it. I love him. I will do anything for him.’

But why? ‘I can’t help myself, I just do everything he orders me to do,’ says another of Patrick’s ‘bitches’, an English girl called Louise from Bristol. ‘I don’t even accept that there’s something unhealthy about my relationship with Patrick. All the men he introduces me to are just business, but when I sleep with Patrick it means something. I love him and would die for him.’

Another of Patrick’s girls is Beatrice, a well-educated former teacher from Buenos Aires. ‘I met Patrick in a bar on the seafront at Marbella. He bought me a drink and started chatting to me.
