"You mean like her agents?"
"Yes."
"Just the same thing I told her when I found her. 'Babe, you are the real article. You need some seasoning up here, but then you got to go to the bigs.' "
"The big leagues?"
"The Big Apple."
"Mau Tim couldn't go to the top outside New York?"
"Uh-unh. Oh, she could do okay. This dude from Dorchester, Thom McDonough? He went over to Paris, and he's doing just line. But with her looks, Mau was like born for the City That Never Sleeps."
"Would that have meant changing her agents?"
"Yeah. Well, wouldn't have to, but that'd be the smart thing to do."
"You know whether she decided to take your advice?"
"No."
"Which way was she leaning?"
"Aw, man, I don't know."
"If she did leave, would you have gone with her?"
Puriefoy shifted the feet some more. "What're you saying?"
"You gave me the impression that you were from New York originally."
"So?"
"So maybe you could help her down there like you helped her up here."
"Un-unh. Mau, she was big enough now, she didn't need me no more. Besides, I believed the little cheech that came to see me, you know?"
Puriefoy made the chopping motion at his wrists again.
"Okay. You visit Sinead much over at her apartment?"
"The fuck do you care about that?"
"I was wondering about the party that night."
"The night Mau Tim got killed?"
"Right."
"I don't like to think about that, man."
"Force yourself, we'll get through it quicker."
"I already told the cops everything I know. Go talk to them."
"You were there, they weren't."
Puriefoy shook his head again, sounded tired. "Okay, okay. Shit, get on with it"
"Tell me what happened."
"Sinead, she's fixing a little party for Mau, then we're going out dancing after that, probably over to Citi — by Fenway Park?"
"Go on."
"So, I get there, and Sinead — girl's got no mind, you know? — she says she forgot to buy the wine, and can I go out and get some."
"She's under twenty-one, too, right?"
Puriefoy looked puzzled.
"How could she have bought the wine in the first place?"
"Oh, man, she puts on some makeup. Like I said, they all could pass for thirty, they wanted to."
"Okay. Back up a little. You first get to the building on Falmouth Street. You have a key to the front door?"
"Shit, no, man. I don't want any more to do with that building than I have to. I just ring the bell for Sinead from outside on the stoop, and she lets me in."
I said, "So the night Mau Tim was killed, you get inside Sinead's apartment.
"And she says, can I go out and get some wine before Larry Shin comes by."
"Larry Shinkawa."
"Yeah. Larry Shin, he's supposed to be there already, but he's late. Sinead, she says Mau Tim's in the shower, she can hear the water coming down the pipes in the kitchen, 'Go on out and get the wine, willya?' "
"So you do?"
"Right. Takes me a while, I don't know the neighborhood, but I find a shitbox liquor store with something decent in it, buy a couple bottles, come back.
