I jogged down the stairs, Grady and Annie on my heels, as we made our way back to his car. The strange thing, Dear Diary, is that, except for the “wheeler-dealer” comment, Tiffany didn’t seem all that mean anymore. She appeared to be your average, middle-aged chick that was trying to make an honest living.

“Maybe Mack’s been wrong about Tiffany all these years?” I asked. “Perhaps I painted her as a heartless shrew, when she’s simply an overly-anxious, cost-cutting woman who means well?”

“Do you want to know what that new car smell is?” Annie asked.

“Dying,” Grady said.

“Please don’t say those words,” Annie said.

“Taking them back,” Grady said.

“Been there, done that,” I said. “Yes, please.”

She reached in her purse, pulled out a kitchen magnet, and held it in front of us. “Take a sniff and a look at this,” she said. “And tell me what you think.”

Both Grady and I sniffed and squinted, but he beat me to the punch. “I think it says, “Made in Japan,” he said. “Is that our clue? Did someone with a Japanese made car run over Mack? Oh, God, there are so many Prius drivers in L.A.’s Westside. How are we going to narrow this down? We are so doomed.”

“Oops, sorry.” Annie flipped the magnet over, and waved it—long and slow in front of us.

“Holy crap,” Grady said. “Much better. That is the mother of all refrigerator magnet clues.”

“Yup,” Annie said. “Couldn’t have found it without Mack’s help.”

“Stop waving it around,” I clutched my forehead and blinked. “Mack’s still a little dizzy and I wouldn’t want to upchuck all over you.”

“I’m sorry you feel that way,” Annie said. “But now that you’re dead that’s not going to happen.” She stopped swirling it and held it still right in front of my eyeballs.

I zeroed in on it, clutched my chest in shock, and I reeled.

Because the words on the magnet read, “WEPOC: The #1 Site for Previously Owned Vehicles.”
