p. 161-162:

Stacey made a throwaway gesture. A Zen movement. *I have met defeat and
accepted it*. "They said they understood that we weren't responsible for
Jordan's bullshit," she said. "It'll take a while to straighted out exactly
what he was responsible for. But I dropped a stack of paper on them this
morning. All the loan repayment books that turned up at our place, a
contact number for that mortgage guy who turnd up, and the lease papers
from his Red Hill place."

"Where'd you get them?" I asked, a little surprised.

"They were in the kitchen drawer, third one down, same place everyone puts
their lease papers. It should be enough for their fraud guys to go on with.
Before I gave it over I made a little bad P.R. pack, copied everything,
mailed it off to the fraud control departments at all the credit card
companies, the banks, the place he got the SAAB loan and so on."

"Busy morning."

She smiled a frayed, jaded smile.

"I also rang the Church of Scientology. I said I'd loved reading
'Dianetics' and it'd really helped me out but I needed more help because my
brother had a huge win at the casino and he was spending it all on drugs. I
begged them to help him, demanded they intervene, then I gave them Jordan's
address. Pleaded with them to get over there and get on his case because he
had *a lot* of money to spend and he was very *vulnerable*."

"Bet that gave them a woody."

"Made *me* feel like a natural woman."
