Summer reading issue

SHORT STORY- Just like family

Money buys secrets. Go down to the neighborhood where I grew up, where money's tight and everybody lives on top of everybody else– it's impossible to keep a secret. Somebody's always watching. Secrets are just another thing poor folks can't afford.

But rich folks, their closets are stuffed full of secrets. Cleaning houses, I see it all the time. Hiding girly magazines behind toilets, bottles of vodka in underwear drawers, cigarettes in laundry bins. Just last Tuesday, I found nudie pictures shoved up under the Harlows' mattress. Nudie pictures with Mrs. Harlow and another woman. Talk about secrets.

But it's not my business to get anybody busted. I just leave things where they are and keep on doing my job.
