Ritual
“The houses were almost identical in their textured sandstone, each had a portion of lawn, a garage and a US-style mailbox at the front. Dlamini's house was at the end of the road, with a view of the airport control tower at Backwell Hill, but when Caffery rang the bell the door was answered not by Dlamini but by a blonde woman in belted low-rider jeans and a pink T-shirt that said 'PORN STAR' in glittering letters.
'Long gone,' she said, when he asked for Dlamini, 'back where he come from, and ...I won't be hearing from him again. Don't ask me to contact him – I've tried, believe me.' But she invited Caffery in anyway. She seemed to want the company, and he knew from the look she gave him, checking out his body through his open jacket to see if he was in shape – from that and from the way she walked in front of him, moving herself carefully, conscious of her hips – he knew right then that he could if he wanted.
They went to the back of the house into the living room where two little girls in identical pink trackies, their blonde hair scrunched on their heads in pink silk flowers, lay on the floor watching Bratz on a plasma-screen TV.MoreLess
