MC is staying at Paul's house right now. He gets a call at 2:00 in the morning saying he better get down to the police station right now. Driving down, waking up, and thinking it over, he gets there and slowly realizes, (as he wakes up) what must have happened. The desk sergeant tries to make MC understand by explaining that Paul has gotten into a couple of fights at a place called Hot Springs. Hot Springs is a gambling place where Paul goes to play poker. He beat a guy up for making fun of his girl, who is indian and a beautiful dancer. MC really wants to help Paul, but he doesn't know how because he doesn't understand him. MC loves his brother, but can't tell, during a normal conversation whether Paul is asking for help or bragging. MC's not jealous or loathing he just doesn't know what to do. Except take him fishing. I can see where MC is coming from, not by my own experience, but it makes sense. You love someone but you don't undertand them and all this even though you know this person better than anyone. It's easy for me to visualize this scene from the book, walking into the jail, smelling booze and things you don't want to know about, and seeing Paul and his girl, the indian girl, with the shiny hair sitting in the corner together. Paul has his overdeveloped casting arm over his face and he doesn't want to know what's going to happen tomorrow.
