Every drop of color drained from Rita’s face. Her large, mink-brown eyes filled with tears.

“Who would do this?” she asked. “Why? Ty never hurt anyone.”

Malcolm’s grip tightened on her hands. He’d asked Rita to join him in his office as soon as he’d arrived. He’d invited her to take one of the chairs in front of his desk, and he’d taken the other. It hadn’t been easy repeating the information. Each time he shared the news, he imagined the attack.

“I have no idea,” he said. “But the police have already started investigating. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.”

“Is it possible the driver wasn’t deliberately trying to hurt him? Maybe it really was an accident.”

“No.” Malcolm was reluctant to dim the hopeful light in Rita’s eyes. It was difficult enough to accept a loved one dying unexpectedly without learning someone had deliberately taken him away from you. “Ty’s family asked the police the same question. The police said, based on the pattern of the skid marks and the damage to Ty’s car, the attack was deliberate.”

Rita slumped in the chair. “How is Joyce?”

“Devastated.” Malcolm stood and walked to the window. “It took me more than two hours to help her settle down last night.”

“Perhaps I should call her.”

“That might be a good idea,” Malcolm agreed, more to escape the conversation. He’d talked to Joyce this morning on his drive into work. She seemed tired, but much calmer.

“Thank you for telling me, Mal.” Rita stood. “Please let me know if there’s anything I can do.”

“Of course, Rita. Thank you.”

He was tempted to ask her to call Leo DeCaprio, but that was his responsibility. Leo had been a good friend to him and Tyrone. He owed it to that friendship to call Leo himself. Afterward, he’d try to get some work done. With so much on his mind, try would be the operative term.
