Interrogation Room #3
Bruno Victor Benucci III & Sergeant S. Mendes
December 19 // 3:12 p.m.
Consider this: billions of people in the world, each with billions of I ams. I am a quiet observer, a champion wallflower. I am a lover of art, the Mets, the memory of Dad. I represent approximately one seven-billionth of the population; these are my momentous multitudes, and thats just for starters.
It begins with my friends.
What does?
My story, I say.
Only thats not quite right. I have to go back further than that, before we were friends, back when it was just...
...
Okay, got it.
Ive fallen in love something like a thousand times.
Mendes smiles a little, nudges the digital recorder closer. Im sorryyou said... youve fallen in love?
A thousand times, I say, running both hands through my hair.
I used to think love was bound by numbers: first kisses, second dances, infinite heartbreaks. I used to think numbers outlasted the love itself, surviving in the dark corners of the demolished heart. I used to think love was heavy and hard.
I dont think those things anymore.
I am a Super Racehorse.
Youre a what? asks Mendes, her eyes at once tough and tired.
Nothing. Wheres your uniform?
She wears a tweed skirt with a fitted jacket and flowy blouse. I quietly observe her brown eyes, very intense, andwere it not for the baggy pillows, and the crows feet framing her features like facial parenthesesquite pretty. I quietly observe the slight creases on her hands and neck, indicative of premature aging. I quietly observe the absence of a wedding ring. I quietly observe her dark hair, shoulder-length with just a lingering shadow of shape and style.
Parenthetical, slight, absence, lingering: the momentous multitudes of Mendes, it seems, are found in the hushed footnote.
Technically Im off duty, she says. Plus, Im a sergeant, so I dont always have to wear a uniform.
