O’Brien
went into his closet and sorted through a huge pile of suspiciously dirty
clothing sitting on the floor, picking out a few items and tossing them toward
Gideon.
Ten minutes later, he was cleaned up and dressed in reasonably fresh
clothes. They felt a little loose on him
– O’Brien hadn’t stayed quite as skinny as Gideon – and they were covered with
satanic designs and logos of the death metal band Cannibal Corpse.
“You
look marvelous,” O’Brien said. “But you’ve
got the pants pulled up too high.” He
reached over and tugged them so they were hanging halfway down Gideon’s
ass. “That’s how it’s supposed to look.”
