1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,280 Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up where we 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,000 left off with the Virginia Roberts memoir The Billionaire's Playboy Club. 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,679 It didn't take me long to get back into my 5 00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:17,839 own comfort zone, heading straight back to my cabana after 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,519 dessert was served, nearly tripping over my own feet as 7 00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:24,079 I tried to scuttle off in a hurry. As soon 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,359 as I entered my domain, I drew a breath inside, 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,679 a deep exhale outwards, Finally alone and at peace for 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,479 now at least. Although the sun had set hours ago, 11 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:38,119 the high temperature of the Caribbean were still an affliction 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,079 plaguing my cabana. I was welcomed by a rush of 13 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,520 warm airror as I opened the door. I hit the 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,079 switch to the fan and stripped down for a shower. 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,159 Preparing my towel and toilet trees, I opened the back 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,560 door to the outside shower and placed them on the floor. 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,079 Whether I was cleaning up in the midst of a 18 00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,679 hot day or retiring for the evening, an outside shower 19 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:02,640 was all way splendid under the thick, dark cloak of 20 00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:05,439 the night sky. Only the moon and stars to shed 21 00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,799 enough light for me to see my way around. I 22 00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:11,200 could feel the soft breeze lick droplets falling off of 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,480 my body's curves in the reflection of the moonlight. It 24 00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:17,480 only encouraged me to stay longer under the warmth from 25 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:19,959 the spray of rushing water. I let the hot water 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,159 run out before I was sufficed enough to go back inside. 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,599 Lounging around the bed and my panties in a tank top, 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,040 I was still sweltering from the heat, trying to tire 29 00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,319 myself out. I did some reading and eventually fell asleep. 30 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,599 I needed those times to unwind after such an ordeal. 31 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:40,560 Letting the xanax wash away all of my pain, I 32 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,000 could then forgive the mistakes I had made, blaming myself 33 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:47,079 for staying around. For this, I had wished I had 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920 never been born at all. The pills would take all 35 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,799 of that away from me. My heart was tangled in 36 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:56,079 a weave of deception and pain, only reassured by the 37 00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,799 lies that were told to me, and the lies I 38 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040 would have to convince myself. When we flew back into 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,959 Palm Beach, Juan drove me back to my apartment lonely, 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,599 for some companionship. I decided to call an old friend. 41 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,759 I was longing to be important to someone, and unfortunately, 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,800 with such little time to have a social life of 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,919 my own, I was compelled to call TJ again. His 44 00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,879 mom answered the phone and sounded quite surprised to hear 45 00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:22,319 my voice on the other end. She was always kind 46 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:25,159 to me. I even used to bring her back kolacans 47 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:29,960 from other countries, a bizarre hobby she loved collecting. She 48 00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,439 just didn't know what to say or what I saw 49 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:35,599 on her son, even saying that to his face many 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,479 times over. Not blind to his ways of cheating and stealing, 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,360 being a personal victim of it, she made it a 52 00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,159 parent that he did not approve of TJ's choice and 53 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:48,719 a lifestyle. It used to really hurt him how his 54 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,680 parents thought so badly of him, so he gave up 55 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,919 trying to earn their love a long time ago. As 56 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,120 long as he didn't steal from them anymore, he was 57 00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:59,520 allowed to live there. Instead of that being a lesson 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,479 to him, he would just try to be more clever 59 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,639 and what he would steal less obvious things. He would 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,039 steal the toaster and sell it for five dollars if 61 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,120 he knew it would help him get his next high. Nonetheless, 62 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,039 and at my expense, I had a sweet spot for him. 63 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,800 With enough water under the bridge, I was able to 64 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919 forget about the troubles he caused. His mom told me 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800 she'd passed on the message when he got home, but 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520 that could be days from now. The last time he 67 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,560 had been home was a couple of weeks now. He 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,759 only stopped by to get something to eat, have a 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840 long sleep, and beg for a few bucks, supposedly to 70 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,159 help him buy food. Then he was off again without 71 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:39,639 a single word, only leaving his parents with their own assumptions, 72 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,319 which were pretty much correct anyway. I then called around 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,759 a couple of mutual friends to see if anyone had 74 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680 heard from him. Everyone I spoke to pointed their finger 75 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:52,479 in the same direction and the worst place possible, Richie's house. 76 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360 One of his best friends told me how he bad 77 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,199 he'd been doing. He's not the same guy anymore, and 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,520 all he cares about is his next hie and where 79 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,039 he gets it. If we don't get anything for him, 80 00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,879 he just loses it and goes off somewhere. It was 81 00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,639 hard to hear how badly affected my best friend was 82 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,560 and a part of me secretly hoped they weren't right. 83 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:14,560 Still defending him, I told everyone I had spoke to 84 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,160 while trying to find him that TJ would be fine. 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,000 He's just probably going through a bad phase like we 86 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,240 all do sometimes, and he needs people to have his 87 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,319 back more now than ever. I was pretty much laughed 88 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,120 at on the spot. Most people that I considered my 89 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,839 friends at the time were only friends by association. As 90 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,240 long as we all looked the part, acted the part, 91 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,920 and could handle the part, only then did they want 92 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,680 to be around us. The last person I called was 93 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,439 the last person I had hoped he wasn't with, and 94 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,279 it turned out that everyone was right. He was one 95 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920 of the biggest coke dealers in our area, Richie Rich, 96 00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,879 as everyone used to call him. He didn't look like 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,720 a typical, strung out junkier dealer. Instead, he looked like 98 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,759 your average preppy college grad with aspiring propositions. He dressed 99 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,759 well and acted like a nice guy to the eminent clients, 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,079 only to get them hooked on his drugs and then 101 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,839 turns them in and onto the streets. He was a businessman, 102 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,360 and his business was thriving. He carried everything from the 103 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:15,560 most dangerous drugs to guns and knives. Having ears in 104 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:19,639 all places made him dangerous acquaintance, using kids off the 105 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560 local Palm Beach street to run his dirty errands and 106 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,160 the errands of the others above him. He made his 107 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,480 money by using these teenagers, who, as hard as it 108 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,240 was to believe, was once somebody sweet child. I knew 109 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,160 TJ didn't have his finances to support himself or his 110 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,920 drug habit, so the likelihood of him being indebted to 111 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,399 Richie in other ways was a safe assumption. Obtaining Richie's 112 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,199 number from one of TJ's friends, Marcus, he asked me, 113 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,639 what do you want to call Richie for? Come over 114 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,879 to my place and I can get you whatever you want. 115 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040 Marcus was a sleeves bag who would tirelessly continue to 116 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,680 try to appeal to my lesser sense of judgment, never 117 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,279 getting the hint or not, just caring that I could 118 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,040 never would never be interested in him. No thanks, Marcus, 119 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:05,720 Can I just get the number pleased? It's very important 120 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,759 that I get a hold of TJ. I'm really worried 121 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,680 about him. I hated having to call this guy, let 122 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680 alone ask him for something. Is this about the Adam bullshit? 123 00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:16,120 Because if it is, you can let him know what 124 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,399 a fucking bitch he is for not showing up to 125 00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,920 be there for him. You can tell him that from me, 126 00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,319 and that it's his fault and he should have been there, 127 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:24,879 and it should have been him that's lying in the 128 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,279 morgue now, not Adam. I was totally thrown off by 129 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,160 his allegation. I could only mutter out a whisper. Did 130 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,000 you just say that Adam's dead? What happened? Oh? Snap? 131 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,199 I thought you knew where you've been? Girl under a 132 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,120 rock or something. Marcus was less than sensitive about his statements. 133 00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:42,360 He got shot in the head by two black guys 134 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,680 who got suspicious when their usual supplier didn't show up. 135 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,439 Your boy, TJ was so fucked up he didn't even 136 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240 remember to turn up at Richie's for the delivery. So 137 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,879 Richie sent Adam alone, and now he's dead. Adam was 138 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,120 a sweet kid who had just happened to be born 139 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:00,560 living on the wrong block. Best friends with TJ s childhood, 140 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:05,639 The two were inseparable until puberty hit, and then they 141 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,480 would chase girls together, and Adam followed in TJ's every footstep, 142 00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,759 mimicking his shadow. If TJ jumped off the Eiffel Tower. 143 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,399 Then so would Adam. So then TJ got hooked on drugs. Consequently, 144 00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:21,040 Adam did too, leading ultimately to his death. Wanting to 145 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,959 end the conversation with Marcus quickly, I scribbled down the 146 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,040 number on the blank piece of paper in front of 147 00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,360 me and hung up the phone call. And then I 148 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,920 called Richie's place immediately. Yeah, it was Richie, who bluntly 149 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,079 answered the phone after the first ring. Hi, uh, rich 150 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,639 it's Jenna, TJ's X. We met a couple of times 151 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:40,920 at a few parties. I was trying to remind him 152 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,560 of who I was, knowing how paranoid he was about 153 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240 people having his number. Oh yeah, I know who you are. 154 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,720 What is it that you want, he answered with a 155 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,959 dry tone. I was hoping you could tell me where 156 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,399 I could find TJ. I've heard some stuff and I'm 157 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:56,639 really worried about him. Is he all right? Richie snickered 158 00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:00,360 at my concerns. Where he was mom or Something's fine? 159 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,560 He should be back here around five o'clock. I'll tell 160 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,839 him you called in the middle of me saying thank 161 00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:07,439 you and goodbye. He hung up the phone. As there 162 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,759 is no room for manners. In his line of work. 163 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,600 I waited until five o'clock, watching the minutes on the 164 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,319 clock tick by, and when five o'clock came and passed 165 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,839 with no phone call, I couldn't deny to myself that 166 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,720 I wasn't stricken with distress. Falling asleep wasn't easy either. 167 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,879 I ended up crashing out on my sofa watching TV, 168 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120 half expecting to hear another murder on the news, and 169 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,919 it being TJ forgetting to put on my eyemask before 170 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,759 I went to bed. I was woken up the next 171 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:40,559 morning by rays of the sun beaming into my living room. 172 00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:43,399 When I sleep, I am a creature of darkness, avoided 173 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,159 any window light at all costs, staggering to the coffee pot, 174 00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:49,639 not used to getting up this early. My first thought 175 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,080 that day was TJ and why he hadn't called. A 176 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,639 million thoughts rushed through my head like a steam train. 177 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,279 Is he okay? Is he not calling because he's still 178 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,200 mad from our last breakup as he moved on to 179 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,320 someone else? Is he in trouble? Did Richie even pass 180 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,679 on my message? The thoughts were an endless infliction, consuming 181 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,080 my entire day, until finally he called my cell phone 182 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,799 later in the afternoon. Relief swept over me when I 183 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,679 heard his voice on the other end. Thank god you called. 184 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,200 I've been so worried about you. Are you all right? 185 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,559 I jumped in without letting him know or get pass, 186 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,360 saying hello, Yeah, I'm fine. Richie told me you called 187 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,279 his house looking for me yesterday and gave me shit 188 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320 for saying you were upset or something. What's up? I 189 00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,639 knew I would have to dedicate about asking what happened 190 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,840 to Adam, thinking he'd be a mess over it. I 191 00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:43,200 heard from Marcus that something happened to Adam, and I 192 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,840 got worried about you. What's going on? TJ? TJ sounded 193 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,240 scared for what reasons were beyond my knowledge, but I 194 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,679 was going to find out, He replied, I don't want 195 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,519 to talk about it over the phone. Are you in 196 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:56,799 town so we can meet up or something? It was 197 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,159 obvious I wanted him to know that I was more 198 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,720 than willing to let me shoulder for his problem. I'm 199 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,840 home now if you want to come over whenever you 200 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,360 feel like it. He didn't hesitate, and taking me up 201 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,320 on the offer. But I won't be able to get 202 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360 there until later. I'm downtown at Richie's place unless you 203 00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,519 want to come pick me up. It was more of 204 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,519 a request than a favor to myself, which is what 205 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,679 he was making it out to sound like. Knowing him 206 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:22,679 all too well, I didn't make a fuss of his 207 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,519 ill contemplated attributes. I got the address off him and 208 00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:29,519 made my way into the ugliness of the not so 209 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,679 dazzling parts upon Beaches downtown area, rolling up my windows 210 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,000 and locking the doors to my truck, I nervously drove 211 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,559 down the rough streets trying to find Richie's apartment complex, 212 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,120 knowing all too well his history of the area. It's 213 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,200 not a place a lone white girl in a nice 214 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,879 truck wants to be seen. Many reports of the locals 215 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,039 rushing up the vehicles with a weapon, demanding money, cars, 216 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,559 or just angry and out to hurt someone. I was 217 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000 speeding through the streets, wanting to get out of there 218 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,480 as quick as I could. A sad world we live in, 219 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,519 with so much hurt everywhere you look, and nobody wanting 220 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,759 to do anything about it. Just accepting the hopelessness of 221 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,639 never being able to achieve anything more than what our 222 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:14,440 civilization has to come to. Being among one of these 223 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,200 people We were similar in so many ways, only separated 224 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,519 by our personal fears in the different direction they pulled 225 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,679 us into. I drove straight through the open gates at 226 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,919 the entrance to the complex and parked on the gutter 227 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,159 in front of Richie's block of units. Crowded people stood 228 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,639 outside the block as I was entering, being hit on 229 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,279 and offered drugs simultaneously. My cheeks went flush and I 230 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,759 put my head down, not saying a word. Walking up 231 00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:43,840 the corridors of the staircase looked like a scene out 232 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,919 of a horror flick. Graffiti covered the peeling of green 233 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,519 paint on the walls, and the pungent stench of something 234 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,600 rotting only to the worst of my imagination filled my nostrils. 235 00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:56,919 I could hear baby screaming through the thin walls, and 236 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,200 trying to find the unit number was difficult from the 237 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,480 sporadic flicker of the fluorescent lights above me. At last, 238 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600 I found Richie's one, quite astonished with myself that I 239 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,279 even made it this far. I had to knock loudly 240 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360 on the door a few times before a young girl 241 00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:14,639 answered the door with eyeliner bleeding down from her eyes. 242 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,519 Her jet black hair was strung out and a mess, 243 00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:21,639 and she looked off her face on some hard drugs. 244 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,039 She had only her brawn and a short skirt to 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,559 cover her private areas, and a cigarette hung out of 246 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,559 her mouth to complete the full picture of terrible state 247 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480 she was in. She looked me down and up with 248 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,159 a contempt and snubbed at me, what do you want? 249 00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:39,480 I maintain my politeness and told her TJ was expecting me. 250 00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:42,440 She opened the door and walked away, leaving me by 251 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,720 myself to venture through looking for TJ. All right, folks, 252 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,279 you're going to wrap up right here and in the 253 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,639 next episode dealing with the topic, we're gonna pick up 254 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,480 where we left off. All of the information that goes 255 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,639 with this episode can be found in the description box. 256 00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:58,440 What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 257 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,879 Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're diving right back in 258 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:06,759 to Virginia Robert's memoir a Billionaire playboys club. Passing through 259 00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:10,279 the kitchen, it looked like a hospital lab, with syringes 260 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,759 on the countertop and medicine containers lying around everywhere. Minding 261 00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,200 my steps through the dirty house, I walked to the 262 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,360 back of the living room and found TJ and a 263 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,960 k hole strung out on a filthy couch. Hey there, 264 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,000 he acknowledged me with a giant smile spread across his face. 265 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,120 He probably didn't even know who I am or who 266 00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:31,519 I was from the dreadful state that he was in. 267 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,840 My first look at him in months, and I was 268 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,399 in utter shock. My jaw must have dropped to the 269 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,559 floor at the very sight of him. Never seeing him 270 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360 so skinny and unhealthy looking, I took pity, and I 271 00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:45,320 wanted to help him before things got even worse and 272 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,799 he ended up like Adam dead. TJ. Hey, buddy, it's Jenna. 273 00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:51,600 Remember I was coming to pick you up today. You 274 00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:53,960 don't look so good. What are you doing so messed up? 275 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,559 I don't think he could even understand what I was 276 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,799 even saying, because he could only reply by giggling and 277 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,480 rolling over, patting the couch as if it were a 278 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,559 fluffy animal. I stood over him now and raised my 279 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,120 voice so he'd know I was serious and snap out 280 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360 of it a bit. Get up, TJ. Now, I ushered 281 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,639 at him and to get him off the couch, repeated 282 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,879 myself a few times over, and with no response, I 283 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:19,559 knew I had to get physical, rolling him back over 284 00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,559 to face me again. I smacked his face hard, and 285 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:24,919 I'm sure it's stung, but I got the reaction I 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,440 had wanted. He sat up and looked at me, confused. 287 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:30,440 At least now he was able to focus on my 288 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,919 words requesting him to come with me. He was just 289 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,759 getting up from the couch and stumbling around before falling 290 00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,519 down to the floor again. Putting his arms around my 291 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080 neck and carrying the majority of his weight, I helped 292 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,440 him up many times, over and down three flights of stairs, 293 00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:47,919 into my truck and drove him back to my place. 294 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,080 It was a triumph on its own, arriving downstairs in 295 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,919 one piece. Being the only person who really cared if 296 00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:56,480 TJ lived or died, I felt like it was my 297 00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:00,480 responsibility of helping him, and it was my concern alone. Thankfully, 298 00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,399 Jeffrey was in Palm Beach for the next couple of 299 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,679 days or weeks entertaining royalty, which gave me a little 300 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,559 bit of time to try and clean TJ up. I 301 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,120 called a few of his friends that I knew, and 302 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,799 I asked them not to score any drugs for him, 303 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,600 pleading with them and telling them that he was on 304 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,399 the brink of death. Reminding them of their friendship between us, 305 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480 all that once existed before the drugs corrupted so many 306 00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:26,200 of us. Some of them laughed, telling me I was 307 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,639 wasting my time with TJ, and others were nice enough 308 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,399 to at least lie to my face politely and promise 309 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,159 not to help him feed his addiction. I just wanted 310 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:36,960 to remedy all of his pain and problems, but I 311 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,240 felt so helpless fighting his battle against the streets. I 312 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,159 bought some marijuana for him to smoke, hoping to subside 313 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,720 the withdrawals he was facing over the next few days, 314 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,320 but with no avail. The only thing that would help 315 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,840 him was my xanax. A few of those pills, and 316 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:53,440 he would go back to sleep, only waking up to 317 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,240 get more of them. I would have to force him 318 00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,360 out of bed to take a shower once a day 319 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,799 and make sure that he ate something. He was more 320 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,039 like a baby right now than he was a boyfriend, 321 00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:07,559 too much in need of something I couldn't give. When 322 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:09,759 I went to see Jeffrey over the next course of days, 323 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,279 he picked out the dilemma I wore spread across my 324 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:16,120 face straight away. You're back with TJ, aren't you. It 325 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,559 was so funny that he knew me so well. Yeah, 326 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360 he's in a real bad place in his life right now, 327 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,399 and he needs my help. He looked astonished and replied, 328 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,799 you're a much better friend than I am. I know 329 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,480 people like him, and trust me, they never change. No 330 00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:33,159 use in even trying, I believed him to, knowing I 331 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,080 was stupid for even attempting to change DJ, But my 332 00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:38,759 heart felt differently. He was still a human being and 333 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,360 a good friend of mine, just down at his worst. 334 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:44,240 That's what good friends are for. I laughed back at 335 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,600 his remark, not wanting to take this conversation too much further. 336 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,080 I admire your loyalty at least, but take my word 337 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,159 for it, he will hurt you again. His words were 338 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,879 chilling but true. I had to find out for myself. 339 00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:00,000 Though almost seeming like an actual friend for a second, 340 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,720 he ruined his brief momentary image by turning over from 341 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,960 the unfinished massage that I was giving him and acquired 342 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,559 his sexual longings from my worn down soul. Not only 343 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,960 did he know that I didn't want to endure any 344 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,200 more demands tonight, but his energy enhanced from knowing it too. 345 00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,640 Looking up at him during the foreplay, it was easy 346 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:23,200 observation from the look in my eyes that I hated 347 00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:25,960 every minute of it, seething through all of my duties 348 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:29,079 until he climaxed. Most days I could take this kind 349 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,839 of treatment. It was only seldom I couldn't hold it 350 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,319 in the way Jeffrey disregarded my feelings. He had me 351 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,440 just where he wanted me, like a pawn piece on 352 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,359 a checker's board. I was his own personal sex slave. 353 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,559 For the remainder of the evening, I stayed quiet, not 354 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:46,079 sure of what to say after an episode like that. 355 00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:49,039 It was a vigorous display of how calculating he could 356 00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:51,880 really be. He required me to clean up his spilled 357 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,640 seamen off of his genitals with a warm washcloth before 358 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,880 he retired to his bedroom for a good night's sleep, 359 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,279 only a monstrous creep. Sleep easy at night, knowing what 360 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,559 pain he caused others. I went downstairs and asked Wan, 361 00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:07,559 who was still in the kitchen, to pay me for 362 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,000 the evening, telling him that Jeffrey had gone to sleep 363 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,240 for the night. It wasn't an unusual request. Wan would 364 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000 often have to fix up the girls after the sessions, 365 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,400 and sometimes even drive them home. He went to Jeffrey's desk, 366 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:23,160 and underneath was a duffel bag that was always held 367 00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:27,000 with an insurmountable bundle of CRISP one hundred dollars bills. 368 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,720 He took out two for me and handed them over. 369 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:32,240 I thanked him and said good night, as I was 370 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:35,759 always polite to Wan and his wife Maria. His eyes 371 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:39,160 were gentle and told me that he was allowed to say. 372 00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:43,759 I understood, well. We all needed to eat and pay bills, unfortunately, 373 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,319 even sometimes at our own moral expense. Putting the keys 374 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,200 in the ignition, I started up the engine and reversed 375 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,000 out of Jeffrey's driveway with promptness. I didn't want to 376 00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:56,000 be there a moment longer than I had to be. 377 00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:58,880 Not much to look forward to getting back to my 378 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,160 apartment either. I needed some time to filter my emotions. 379 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,960 Parking my truck in front of the nearby beach, I 380 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,559 took my shoes off, gradually stepping out of the door 381 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:10,599 into the fog. I walked down to the edge of 382 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,759 the sand, where the water licked my toes. My life 383 00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,279 was slipping away from me, and I was really beginning 384 00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:19,759 to question the difference between living and dying. I was 385 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:23,519 so tired of everything. My whole existence revolved around being 386 00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,559 everything to everyone, forgetting about being something for myself altogether, 387 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,640 Pretending to be someone else became an attribute I was 388 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,799 better than good at, probably much of why Jeffrey liked 389 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:37,839 me in the first place. This time, I held back 390 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,799 my tears and only let the anger fester into a 391 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:44,079 deep pit into my stomach. My rage was aimed at 392 00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:47,400 the very people who abandoned me to offend for myself 393 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,160 in the first place, and accepted this life as normal 394 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,720 for me, my parents. When I got back to my apartment, 395 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,440 I was expecting to have to look after TJ, but 396 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,039 to my surprise, he had come around good at that night. 397 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:01,599 He agreed me at the door and ask me how 398 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,559 my evening was. It was all fine. I easily lied. 399 00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:08,200 I never let anyone inside close enough to see my vulnerabilities. 400 00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:11,960 They were mine alone to battle in my head. They 401 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,240 were too shameful to talk about anyway. He wanted to 402 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,480 talk about something else. Sitting down at the dining room table, 403 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,200 he began his spiel. I know you don't think much 404 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,519 of me anymore. How could you? I'm a junkie who 405 00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:26,359 steals and sells drugs for a living but I promise 406 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,559 that's all going to change now. Adam is dead because 407 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,720 of me, and the only way I can make up 408 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,160 for it to him is to get away from it all. 409 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,640 I promise that things are going to get better. It 410 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359 was a convincing talk, but I knew him all too well. 411 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,039 His demon inside yearned for him to fail. But who 412 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,920 was I to second guess him out loud? I could 413 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,359 only try to give him hope. No one's perfect, DJ, 414 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:52,119 at least you're trying now, and that's all that matters 415 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,759 to me. I'm so proud of you. I gave him 416 00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:56,799 a sincere hug and kissed him for the first time 417 00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,039 in a long time. I love you, he said to me, 418 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:01,920 and return my life back. We slept in the bed 419 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,039 together that night and were officially back together. Two days later, 420 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,079 I was gone again, beckoned to Santa fe Gleayne only 421 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,039 told me I was to meet someone there. Not sure 422 00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:16,119 of whom that was. It wasn't my place to ask questions. 423 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,200 As far as I knew, it could be anyone, and 424 00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,519 I had no choice but to be compliant to their needs. 425 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,359 It was the middle of the day when I arrived 426 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,880 at the airport. One of the ranchands came to pick 427 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,759 me up in a big war truck that smelled like 428 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,559 dirt and sweat, but I didn't mind. That's what I 429 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:35,759 loved about the countryside. When we arrived at the mansion, 430 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,720 my guest was already there waiting for me. I couldn't 431 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,799 wipe the look off my face. As he turned around 432 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,599 from the bookshelf that he was standing at. Hello, the 433 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,440 same old cheesy grin greeted me once again. It was 434 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,200 His Highness, Prince Andrew, and what a sight. He wrapped 435 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,640 his arms around my waist and greeted me like an 436 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,279 old friend. I hugged him back, rolling my eyes at 437 00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,160 the same time, already dreading what lay in store over 438 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,240 the next couple of days. My job was to entertain 439 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:06,799 them endlessly, whether that meant having to bestow them any 440 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:10,359 of my body during an erotic massage or simply take 441 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,319 a horseback riding. For the next couple of days, he 442 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,160 was to be my only concern, but he wasn't. I 443 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,880 called in checking on TJ a few times a day, 444 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359 not wanting to be a nag, but just hoping he 445 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,400 hadn't had any thoughts about relapsing. He was doing great, 446 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:28,359 even applying for a couple of jobs. Being reassured by 447 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,079 him made my time away less complicated, and, thankfully, with 448 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,640 the help of my ever ready xanax, I was able 449 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,440 to cope with the ordeal. The mansion was completely empty, 450 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,319 save a couple of maids who also cooked our dinners 451 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,799 for us, and a couple of bodyguards that we hardly 452 00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,559 even saw at all. The time dragged by slowly for me, 453 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,119 as I was counting down the hours until I flew 454 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,960 away again anywhere but here, I thought. It wasn't easy 455 00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:57,160 meeting the sexual desires of these strange men, the Prince 456 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,880 being one of them. He loved my feet and even 457 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,160 in between my toes. Then there was the lack of 458 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,680 passion in the intimacy we shared. To him, I was 459 00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:09,799 just another girl and to me he was just another job. 460 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,640 Not the right reasons to be together, But I thought, 461 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,640 in this world and to these monsters, there didn't need 462 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,039 to be a reason. To them, it's nothing but a 463 00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:23,920 reenactment of their personal fantasies. To me, a living nightmare. Thankfully, 464 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,440 one of Jeffrey's assistants from New York called me on 465 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,839 my cell phone in the morning on the second day 466 00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:31,839 to fill me in on my next adventure. I had 467 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,799 a flight booked for me to leave that afternoon to 468 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,039 arrive at LaGuardia Airport in the evening. Even though I 469 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,200 had to go back to he had another controlling man, 470 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000 I was still relieved. At least I was used to 471 00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:46,519 the confinements of Jeffrey's control. In some twisted way, he 472 00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,240 was more comforting than these strangers he sent me to 473 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:52,960 overlooking the city of New York. As the plane landed, 474 00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:55,880 felt like I was flying from one cage to another, 475 00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,640 and trapped by falling victim to the predators that lured 476 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,319 me into the closure. I didn't know how I would 477 00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:04,759 ever get out again. The deep pit in my stomach 478 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,200 began to churn again, a physical reaction to the anxiety 479 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,599 I was played with. Before getting off the plane, I 480 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,200 touched up my makeup to hide any signs of the 481 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,079 frailty that I was feeling. All right, folks, we're gonna 482 00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,079 wrap up right here and to the next episode. We're 483 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,400 gonna pick up where we left off. All of the 484 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,400 information that goes with this episode can be found in 485 00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:27,519 the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another 486 00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:31,079 episode of the Epstein chronicles. In this episode, we're picking 487 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,079 up where we left off with the Virginia Roberts memoir 488 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,880 The Billionaire's Playboy Club. Jojo met me at the arrival 489 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,680 terminal and picked up my luggage for me. He never 490 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,400 said much at all, nodding to any reciprocating conversation. I 491 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,359 don't think he could really speak that good of English. Anyway, 492 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,319 It was better for me, as I preferred the quietness 493 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,559 of the moment. He opened the back door for me 494 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,279 and we headed off for my next prison cell. When 495 00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:58,559 we got to Jeffrey's mansion on seventy second Street, the 496 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,640 place looked empty. I walked up the staircase to Jeffrey's 497 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,680 office and he wasn't there. Feeling a bit hungry, I 498 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,559 walked back down to where the kitchen was. I opened 499 00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:10,519 the fridge and found some leftovers that Adam Jeffrey chef 500 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:13,759 had cooked. I loved his cooking when it wasn't filled 501 00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:16,480 with bean sprouts and tofu. He used to make the 502 00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:19,680 best pizza upon request, or whenever he was cooking seafood, 503 00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:22,440 which he knew I hated. He had an honest appeal 504 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,160 about him and never even took notice when on many occasions, 505 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,599 us girls would be prancing around topless, sometimes even stark 506 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,119 naked around the pool or the beach. He would have 507 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,160 to serve us our meals and would do it with 508 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,079 such a casual professionalism, never making anyone uneasy at any occasion. 509 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,920 And she's talking about Adam Perry Lang right there, folks, 510 00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:46,240 friends with Jimmy Kimmel and somebody that's been on the 511 00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:50,559 Joe Rogan Show. Before halfway through my meal, the kitchen 512 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:54,000 door swung open, and incoming was Jeffrey and Glane, choking 513 00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:56,519 down my bite of food. I got up from my 514 00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:59,200 seat and I kissed them both on the cheeks. Hi, guys, 515 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,920 how are you? I greeted them, and Golayne answered for 516 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,680 them both good. Good, Sit down and finish your meal. 517 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,079 Don't let us interrupt you. I hated eating alone in 518 00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:11,279 front of people. Chewing food and maintaining a conversation at 519 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:14,359 the same time didn't give off the best look. I 520 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,079 was just finishing anyways. Can I get you, guys anything? 521 00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:20,319 Maybe a tear or something. Always playing my part another 522 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,000 reason to keep me around. I guess I went beyond 523 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,799 the call of duty, and after the last period with them, 524 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,000 I had been reminded of my place. Yes, I'll take one, 525 00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,559 Glaine stated, Jeffrey, how about you? Anything I can get 526 00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,279 for you? I asked again, any answered no thanks. We 527 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,000 just date and I'm still full. And they sat down 528 00:26:39,079 --> 00:26:42,359 together on the stools at the kitchen bench. I got 529 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,400 out the shiny red kettle from the cupboard, knowing my 530 00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:47,880 way all too well around the kitchen, and put it 531 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,839 over the hot stove plate. Turning around to face them, 532 00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:54,720 I thought they were acting peculiar, So Golaine started the conversation, 533 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,519 how was the ranch with the prince. It was a 534 00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:00,559 natural reaction for me to blush, knowing exactactly what she 535 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,039 was referring to. Keeping busy preparing the cup of tea 536 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:06,759 and avoiding eye contact with both of them, I started 537 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,119 to unpack the counter where I had been eating. I 538 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,640 think he had a really good time. He seemed relaxed 539 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,240 during the trip, and when we said goodbye to each other, 540 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,279 he gave me a kiss. I went on to tell 541 00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:19,759 them what we did together. I took him horseback riding, 542 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,160 nowhere too far, just around the property. We went swimming 543 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,240 in the pool, and of course I gave him plenty 544 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,839 of massages. He had a massage at least a couple 545 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,720 times a day, really seeming to enjoy his time there. 546 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,240 It's what they wanted to hear, not the truth of 547 00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:36,880 how disgusting I had felt over the whole thing. But 548 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000 they already knew the truth anyways. It's what they had 549 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,960 trained me for in the first place. Like two proud parents. 550 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,359 They both looked over at me with such content. Good 551 00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,759 you really did well, Jeffrey complimented me. Turning around the 552 00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:52,640 boiling kettle. I finished Glaine's tea for her, and the 553 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,319 conversation led on to other subjects. We all ventured up 554 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,319 to Jeffrey's office and out came the infamous Duffel bag 555 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,160 that when and wherever he did. I was given close 556 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,240 to one thousand dollars for my time in Santa Fe, 557 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000 more than what I thought anybody in my young age 558 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,759 could make for a couple of days work. It was 559 00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:13,559 fulfilling the obscene, vulgar needs of the so called privilege 560 00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:16,200 that earned me so much. I spent the next few 561 00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:19,119 days in New York, venturing out to do some shopping therapy. 562 00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:22,400 I love the eccentric parts of the city. Every street 563 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,599 was different, but the same energetic vibe filled all of them, 564 00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:29,160 animated with all different walks of life. Hanging out at 565 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160 coffee shops reading the newspaper or a good book was 566 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,960 a favorite pastime while in the Big Apple, being close 567 00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:38,440 enough to get back to Jeffrey for what he needed, 568 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,480 but also far enough to get away from it all. 569 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000 Most of the days I slipped by without being missed, 570 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,799 and I made my way back to Jeffrey's. Making one 571 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,359 last pit stop, I walked into an old bookshop to 572 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,640 browse at their assortment of old titles. I wasn't in 573 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,880 any hurry, so I took my time reading the backs 574 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,519 of interesting looking books. I bumped in to a girl 575 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,160 looking down the same aisle. I was down. Sorry, I'm 576 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,799 so clumsy. She was apologizing for my mistake. No, no, 577 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,519 it was my fault. I wasn't looking at where I 578 00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:11,880 was going. I get so wrapped up with my nose 579 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,359 in a book and trip over my own feet if 580 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,839 I'm not careful enough. We were both giggling now, and 581 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,720 I further introduced myself to her. Her name was Valerie 582 00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:23,359 or Vicky or something like that. Anyway, she was a 583 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,440 student at school for hair dressing nearby, chatting away both 584 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,720 young and similar interests in each other's choices of reading, 585 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,559 we found it easy to speak to one another. She 586 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,160 wasn't from around here, only being in the city for 587 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,920 the last two months. Her parents hated her being here, 588 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,119 but were also supportive in her big decision to move 589 00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:45,400 from the countryside in hopes of accomplishing her own dreams. 590 00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:49,039 Aside from not having her near them, they just wanted 591 00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,680 her to be happy and supported in her big decision 592 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,480 to move to the city, helping her pay some of 593 00:29:54,519 --> 00:29:57,200 the way. She was a pretty girl with cherry red 594 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,920 hair and soft white skin. Her long leg were emphasized 595 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,599 by the short, flowery dress that complimented her hourglass figure. 596 00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,480 She would definitely fit the pro quo for going down 597 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,359 in one of Jeffrey's Little Black Books. Only imagining the 598 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,440 look on his face upon meeting her, I could already 599 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,559 see his sly grin spread from ear to ear, knowing 600 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,359 exactly what he would do with her, and the very 601 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,359 thought of him tarnishing a sweet country girl such as 602 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,960 her just couldn't be done. It was the beginning of 603 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,960 a turning point in my life that started with realizing 604 00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:32,640 I had a choice at hand and the effect I 605 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,680 could have on one person alone. I must be off, 606 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,079 but it was really nice meeting you, bidding her a 607 00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:41,960 good night, and paying for my books. I turned around 608 00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:44,359 with one last glance over my shoulder and said good 609 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,240 luck in the city. Leaving the bookshop was a small 610 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:50,799 step in a growing abundance of larger strides to come. 611 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:54,680 Turning the corner onto seventy second Street, I had an 612 00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:57,440 undeniable feeling in the pit of my stomach again. But 613 00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,480 this time it wasn't the familiar hurl of anxiety I 614 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,960 was used to after I had done something wrong that 615 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:06,599 I had regretted. It was a new feeling of pride 616 00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:09,839 and inner strength. I quite liked it a lot. I 617 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,279 held my head high and smiled on the inside when 618 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:15,440 Jeffrey asked me how my day was and what I 619 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,559 got up to, not mentioning that I had let one 620 00:31:17,599 --> 00:31:21,400 girl slip on by The icy winter winds faded away, 621 00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:25,160 making way for the approaching sunny days that blossomed the 622 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,880 colorful shades of spring. This was my favorite time of year. 623 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,640 Making the most use of his island. We spent countless 624 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,039 days of the increasingly hot days. There a constant array 625 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:39,559 of visiting guests and plentiful young women to flock around 626 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,319 keeping them entertained. Was a typical lazy afternoon on Little 627 00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:46,200 Saint Jeff's. We ate, drank and played under the blue 628 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,200 blanket of cloud disguise. Too many, this lifestyle could seem 629 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:54,160 idellic unless you were like me, the one on the 630 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,519 other side of the fence where the grass wasn't so green. 631 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,279 Fortunately for me and in some ways not, I was 632 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:05,440 mostly expected to attend only Jeffrey's insurmountable sexual desires, whereas 633 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,079 the other girls who came one day and went the 634 00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:11,160 next were a promise to a multitude of open doors 635 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,200 just for their meager participation in sexual acts with random men, 636 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,680 only to be disappointed when they realized there was nothing 637 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,240 more than a single night out for these geriatric senior 638 00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:24,640 citizens who most likely do or would die from Alzheimer's, 639 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,920 and they would sooner forget their entire experience, let alone 640 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,519 their first name. Surrounded by those in our world who 641 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,000 many looked up to, but not seeing them from where 642 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,720 I was standing, I didn't have the highest of standards 643 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,039 in humanity. Then I met al Gore, his lovely wife 644 00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:42,359 during one of those many weekends away in the Caribbean. 645 00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:45,440 I was blown away by the amount of attention Al 646 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:48,359 doated on his wife. It was sweet to watch. They 647 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,839 sat next to each other at the dinner table, gazing 648 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,400 into one another's eyes, having an intimate conversation between them. 649 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,359 Among the many guests that visited that night, in many 650 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,400 of them young beautiful women, not once did Al Eighes 651 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,880 stray elsewhere to them. They were the only ones there. 652 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200 He was up for presidential election that year, and he 653 00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:10,119 definitely had my vote. Anyone that could show that much 654 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,319 devotion and passion towards his loved ones could have the 655 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:16,519 same devotion towards running a country, or at least I 656 00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,519 thought so. He only left his wife's side to have 657 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,079 a walk down the beach with the host of the weekend, Jeffrey. 658 00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:25,079 The weather was still warm in the evening when I 659 00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:27,720 decided to break away from the idle chat around the 660 00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:31,200 table and take a stroll too. Not wanting to interrupt 661 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,000 the conversation between Jeffrey and Al, I walked in the 662 00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:38,680 opposite direction, plucking the washed up seashells embedded in the 663 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,880 sand along the way. I enjoyed the serenity in the 664 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,880 solitude of the island so many nooks and crannies to 665 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,240 get lost in. I could imagine that I actually disappeared 666 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,359 from the entire world for a moment. By the time 667 00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,440 that I came back to the main house, majority of 668 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,559 the small crowd had been long gone retired to their cabanas. 669 00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:01,279 Even Jeffrey had gone off to bed. But trust party 670 00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:05,599 animal Glane was still up entertaining the remaining guests left 671 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:09,000 at the table, telling her wild stories of people in 672 00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:11,760 places she is. Embarked on trying not to make eye 673 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,119 contact as I walk past them on my way back 674 00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:17,559 to the cabana, carrying my seashells inside my curled up blouse, 675 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,199 I wasn't up for any more pointless talking tonight. Emptying 676 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,920 out my seashells into a plastic bag, I went over 677 00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:27,960 my new treasure one by one. I love collecting odd things, 678 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,079 shells being one of my favorites. Glene and I shared 679 00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:35,039 that interest together. We would enjoy walkabouts around the island 680 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,159 searching for lost pieces of the remnants that pirates had 681 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,239 left behind centuries ago. It was mostly broken plates or 682 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,719 smashed glass from bottles of ale, and even occasionally getting 683 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,079 lucky and finding some old coins here and there. It 684 00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,000 wasn't easy, though, both loving a challenge. It was perfect 685 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,159 for us, and during many scratches from the bushes we 686 00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,440 would be searching through and then soar arms from digging 687 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,480 all day, but it was worth it. In end, after 688 00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:04,119 nearly two years of collecting items and saving them, we 689 00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:08,079 made Jeffrey a mosaic table out of the remaining pieces 690 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,519 left from the era of the Pirate's day. Upon completing it, 691 00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:14,480 we were both astounded in our creation. It was such 692 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,679 an item of rarity and an interesting piece of work. 693 00:35:18,159 --> 00:35:20,639 When we presented it to Jeffrey, he was even impressed, 694 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,800 not only in our amazing finds, but what we did 695 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,920 with them. The table became an important work of art 696 00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,920 that Jeffrey showed off inside the main house lounge room, 697 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,599 sparking much intrigue and table conversation by many of the 698 00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:36,679 visiting guests to his island. All right, we're going to 699 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,760 wrap up right here, and in the next episode we're 700 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,079 going to pick up where we left off. All of 701 00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:43,639 the information that goes with this episode can be found 702 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,119 in the description box.
