Chapter 10

Matt stepped out of the car and looked up at the brownstone. He'd been here only once before to pick up film for an article that was at deadline when Reynolds was sick. He hesitated on the sidewalk this time remembering the three boys’ faces as they looked at him from the backseat of the airplane. He hadn’t thought about seeing them again. He'd been so angry at the aggressive, surprise DNA test that he'd come here in a fit of anger.

He pulled out his phone to call another Uber and turned to leave, but then he reconsidered. He could face the boys if just to let Reynolds know that she couldn't assault him with a DNA test. It was outrageous!

"No, no, no," Matt said to himself and turned back to the building, almost bowling Reynolds over as she came down the stairs.

"Great," she said, and she walked right past him.

Matt grunted and jogged to catch up. "Reynolds, wait up.”

"Oh, now you want to talk to me?" she asked sarcastically under her breath, but loud enough for Matt to hear. "Did you finally come here to see the boys? William and Steven are holding it together, but Benji not so much." She glanced back at him and he didn't respond, so she moved on.

Matt walked behind Amy for a full block because he didn't really know what to say to her. When she got to the corner, she looked back and saw him, and in a huff she turned the corner and walked another block.

"Will you be following me around all day today, Matt? Or did you have something to say?"

"I have a lot of something to say to you," he said. His blood boiled when he thought of Blondie stabbing him with a staple gun, but he got distracted when Amy stepped up to the brown garage door that was built into the front of a new townhome. Private garages were impossible to find in New York City, and Matt was stunned. Reynolds punched some numbers into the keypad, and the door started to open.

"What is this place?" he asked.

"This is my garage," she said.

"You keep a car?" he asked, and she thought he sounded impressed.

"I know, it's not practical in New York City. I keep a space in a garage, and there is a car in it," she answered. Amy didn't know how to tell Matt that Bill had rented a space in this two-car garage on a ten year contract when they'd been dating, and he'd apparently not dissolved the contract, because he'd said the code was still set as her birthday. Amy didn’t want to think about the millions of dollars this garage must have cost Bill over a ten year period.

She shook her head when she saw the small green car with a blue racing stripe down the middle.

"Wow, nice car," Matt said, and Amy nodded. She had always loved this car, but it wasn't practical to drive in the city, and she was afraid that it would get scratched.
