The Reflection

Untitled Part 5

                                                                                  Who is this man

Detectives Soborno and Barkowitz were at the home of Patrick Malone in down town Miami. They had gained access through bribery with fifty dollars slipped to the Concierge at the door. At the dining table over a coffee they scrolled through the life and times of this very unusual man.     Patrick Malone  was born in the year 1981 on the wrong side of Chicago, to be exact a Trailer Park. His parents were Irish Catholic immigrants  Sean Malone and his wife Mary. They had left Northern Ireland during the troubles of the late seventies and arrived in the USA with one suit case and two young sons. They settled in Chicago with Sean securing work at a local Steel Mill where he worked twelve hour day's, for six day's a week and on Sundays the family attended the local church as God was a major factor in the lives of all that was Irish. Growing up young Patrick played American Football in the street as his father said it was the nearest to the Irish game of Shinty. All was fine until his teenage years when the pressure of the need for money kicked in. Drugs were an easy source of income and for  a young man from the wrong side of the tracks, credibility. At the age of fifteen, according to his friends still living in the area Patrick was a born leader. He had formed a gang of around twenty like minded teenagers and named them the Mules. Their job was to distribute illegal drugs to the whole East side of Chicago. They would travel on Buses, Trains and even just walk where there were crowded streets, at all times in their school uniforms and carrying their rucksacks filled with their illegal bounty. The one thing in young Patrick Malone's favor was that he always attended school and his grades were amongst the highest in his year. His friends also remembered a handsome teenager who although flirting with girls never seemed to have any relationships. "He did", said one, "have a thing for a girl from another school who lived next door and he would take us into his bedroom where he watched each night as she stripped ready for bed, we always thought that she was aware of us watching" As he became older the watching turned to Porn and he became obsessed. His friends told of him going with them to parties and clubs and while seemingly having a great time, he would always go home alone. This in turn led to the belief that he was Gay, bolstered by some girly items laying around in his room, but he never at anytime made approaches to other boys.     "Could he have been By-sexual? said Detective Barkowiz. "Just a strange Guy" answered Soborno, "Read on"                                                                                                                                                              At the age of eighteen University was calling and the grades achieved by young Patrick Malone, although not perfect they allowed him the choice of most of the top Universities in the North West of the USA. Sean Malone still every bit the religious man was determined that Patrick, unlike his older brothers would receive a University diploma, and his dream would be Religious Studies but he knew that his son had always known his own mind and was taking his time to think it over. Two weeks prior to the acceptance date for his chosen University Patrick Malone was arrested at a party and charged with possession of Cocaine with the intent to supply. The possession alone held a possible five to ten year sentence, while the intent to supply was in the hands of the Judge. His Lawyer knowing the status of Judge Mario Merino as a staunch Catholic decided to play the religious card and related that Patrick on the advice of his father who himself was a Church Elder, had spoken with the powers that be with the intention of becoming a Priest. It worked, Patrick was placed on a five year probation with the guarantee that he follow through with his vows and take the cloth. There and then a new chapter in the ever changing life of Patrick Malone began.                                                                                                                                                           Patrick kept to his word, after all he had for most of his life attended church every Sunday and listened to the Bible readings once a week from his Mother or Father, but his mind set did not change and at every chance he would see some way to profit from his situation. As one of his superiors told the Detectives. "Patrick was a pleasant mostly humble young man but he did polish the silver wear more often than required. Items would leave the Church on a regular basis only to mysteriously return one month later. Our decision was that until the items did not return we would take the matter no further, they were always returned" Patrick during his Religious Studies kept his passion for Pornographic Films alive, and it would seem that in the closed ranks of the Church a blind eye was turned. After five long years and now at the age of twenty three Patrick was decamped as third string Priest at a Parish in the small Town of Little Rock Arkansas where with his charm and good looks he was an instant draw with the Towns young ladies. His free speech approach more or less condemning the idea chastity before marriage and his relaxed attitude on Contraception and Abortion made him less than popular with his peers. His mind was living the life of a Priest but his body was less committed. He was openly seen in the Bars of the Town where he would in casual dress flaunt with both sexes but as in his youth stayed clear of any relationships. This situation could however not continue and with the accusation from a twenty three year old parishioner that the child she was carrying was that of Father Malone's, (some say she was more friendly with the Bishop) Patrick was side-lined to a desk job at a rest resort for the Clergy in Miami Florida.                                                                                       Patrick Malone was now in Porn Heaven and whilst having no ambitions to continue in the Church his vows gave him a base from which to follow his passion in life, voyeurism, he was a watcher. He stalked the Bars and Night Clubs, at times following his favorite people to see what they got up to. But he himself was being watched and before long was approached by a man who recognizing him one day in the street wearing his Religious Habit asked him to take part in an adult Movie they would call, The Seduction of a Priest. At first he refused but asked if he could witness the making of a Porn Film. Two viewings and he was hooked, the move had to be made even although this would end his time in the Church and break the hearts of both his parents.       The Seduction of a Priest made Patrick Malone very rich and very famous. Four sequels were made along with many spin- offs all relating to the Church and on the night of the murders Patrick was at the home of Melissa Taylor Florida's most prominent female Porn Star to discuss a remake which would take place in outer space.                                                                                                       "This guy's lived ten lives to my one" said Carl Barkowiz, as they finished reading their notes. "But no link to Leo Taylor" said Mike Soborno, "It would seem that as with Cathy Brock they were not both or individually the prime target of the shooter. Or are we missing something"
