Chapter 32

I was surprised to see Tavious walk into the shop Monday morning with his mother and her husband Ely. They followed him over to his bay and from my office it looked as though he was giving them the royal tour. When they made it over to my office they were all smiles.

His mother extended her hand out to me. “West, thanks for putting Tavious in charge of your lean program,” she said.

I let her know it was my pleasure right after Tavious winked his eye at me.

“You sure have a nice shop here,” Ely said. “If you’re ever in need of a guard dog I’m your man,” he let me know.

Tavious said good-bye to them a few minutes later and when they were out the door he followed me into my office. I sat behind my desk and Tavious took the chair directly in front of my desk.

“Sometimes you have to let some things go, West,” Tavious said. “All these years, man, and no matter how mad I thought I was . . . A moment can put you in a place where you can move on and live life.”

I smiled at him and nodded my head in agreement. I knew exactly where Tavious’s head was because Mrs. Bullock had called me bright and early just to let me know that he was in a better place.

“So, you talk to Grands?”

I nodded again.

“She thinks I need to go talk to this reporter named Saadia Eussit because she wrote an article about Amara’s death.”

“Couldn’t hurt. But what do you think about it?”

Tavious swiped at his face and exhaled. “I don’t know, man. I don’t know this woman. What if she is working with the police, trying to get some kind of statement out of me.”

“Well, when you talk to her it’s almost going to be like a statement.”

Tavious pointed toward me. “Exactly.”

“What if you tell her you’ll speak with her off the record?” I told him. “That way, they can’t use anything you say.”

Tavious kept his eyes on me and decided that he could do that, but very cautiously.

I asked him, “When does she want to meet?”

“Grands set it up for later today after work at Gladys Knight’s downtown. You’re going with me right?”
