face. She was dressed in a little black number that was just provocative enough to stir the male section of the audience without being disrespectful. All the men watched as she straightened her dress, reached up to the microphone and adjusted a screw to lower it by a few inches. Then she pulled her skirt down again, after her movement had pulled it up to quite an immodest height. Glamorous and grieving.
Benedikte hadn’t been able to find much on Sabrina from before Golden had taken her under his wing. The closest thing she’d had to abreakthrough before then was as an audience member on the very edge of the TV screen in NRK1’s musical game show Beat for Beat . Now she was the new star among glamour models.
Sabrina’s real name was Ida Therese Hauge, but her almost Latin looks, as well as her frequent visits to the best plastic surgeons in town, made the name Sabrina much more practical. She’d borrowed her name from the 1980s Italian star who’d had a hit with ‘ Boys ’, along with several other songs that reached the top three in Finland.
There was a regular feature in PDTV in which Sabrina sat alone in the bedroom, revealing small secrets about herself, Per Diesen, their relationship and life in general. In one recent episode Sabrina revealed that ‘ Boys ’ was her favourite song as a little girl.
As an agent, Golden had mainly stuck to representing footballers. Sabrina was an exception. Benedikte had spoken to several media editors, and Golden had promoted Sabrina on a grand scale. Golden himself had once been a model in a couple of advertising campaigns and knew people in every nook and cranny of the Norwegian media. The result was that Sabrina made appearances in four episodes of Paradise Hotel on TV3 and had two half-page spreads between the front and centre pages of lads’ mags Vi Menn and FHM , before she was ready for her big breakthrough on the Norwegian edition of Strictly Come Dancing , TV2’s Skal Vi Danse?
Sabrina fell in her paso doble and was the first participant to be sent home, but straight after her tearful post-show interview, Golden showed up and introduced Sabrina to Diesen, sending rumours flying as early as that same evening’s transmission of the entertainment programme God Kveld Norge . VG printed some grainy pictures in its Sunday edition (and the very same ones on Monday). By Tuesday the glossy magazine Se og Hør was exclusively able to confirm that Diesen had comforted Sabrina at the Beach Club diner, then on Wednesday the violinist Gudmund Eide overstepped in training, so Sabrina was back ballroom dancing by Thursday.
At Christmas, Sabrina was in the final, up against the news anchor Kåre Jan Vasshaug. She was a frisky eye-catcher who couldn’t dance, while he was a professional presenter who was TV-savvy enough to hold a microphone, but couldn’t dance either. Vasshaug didn’t stand a chance. The circus around Sabrina and Diesen had become so huge that she won with a massive 85 per cent of the vote. The camera managed to pick up the tiniest of tears from Diesen, which becamethe subject of an entire episode of PDTV , with the pair sitting together on the sofa watching a repeat of the tear, which, in turn, led to further tears. From both of them.
A towering African man stood at the bar, a short distance away from Benedikte. She recognised him from a couple of newspaper articles as Chukwudi, an agent Golden had worked with.
Benedikte had checked the archives after speaking to Boltedal from the Dagens Næringsliv . Before Golden’s death, TV2 had been working on uncovering some dubious sides of his business dealings, with a particular focus on Africa. Golden had also begun pocketing training compensation, solidarity payments and future transfer rights, all things that represented real opportunities for the small clubs in the big world of football.
This was done by giving the African club, which was often a somewhat diffuse academy, a small sum in exchange for them
