He was wearing casual clothes and a hounds-tooth check hat like he was Bear Bryant, though he was a smaller man and slightly more narrow between the eyes. When Donna climbed out of the window she found the man sitting in a leather wing chair. To her surprise, he gestured at the chair opposite him and said, “Miss Moore, why doan-cha take a load off?”

She tilted her head slightly. “Do I know you?” Friendly but cautious.

“Well, not yet,” the man said. “That’s why you oughta siddown and pass some time.”

Donna glanced around the showroom and said, “Much as I’d like to, I’ve got stuff to do before I can close up.”

The man pushed back the brim of his hat and said. “Awww, now, don’t be lack ‘at.” He pointed at Donna. “You know what they say, no ham and all hominy. . .” He gestured again for her to sit.

Donna said, “Are you interested in the wing chairs?”

The man’s smile faded. He said, “I’m innersted in you takin’ a seat, Miss Moore. Now c’mon, you’re wastin’ my time.”

This got Donna’s hackles up. “Excuse me? You obviously know who I am, but you haven’t introduced yourself properly.”

The man showed a few yellowed teeth and said, “Well what’ll my mama thank? I tell you what, you just call me Boss, or hell, Shirley Temple, I don’t much care.” He pointed at the chair again. “Now sit yer ass down,” he said. “We got a business proposition to discuss.”

Donna’s stomach churned into a knot at the way he said it. She sat down thinking it might be the best and quickest way to get rid of this guy. “What sort of proposition?” She was beginning to think he was running a protection scheme.
