“No…” She hesitated. “All right. I came down because I’ve got to find out what really happened to Jackson. Deavers says Virginia Lee Mincey killed Jackson. And then killed herself. And that she was his stepmother. It’s just unbelievable, all of it. Jackson never talked about this stuff. I didn’t know his father had been killed, or that his stepmother had gone to prison.”

She took a deep breath. There was a water cooler on the wall, the kind with the little paper cups. She got herself a cup, filled it, and drank the water in one long gulp.

“Why do you care?” I asked, deliberately blunt.

“It’s not good business to get involved with somebody you work with,” she said dispassionately. “Especially in the food business. But it happened. We kept it to ourselves. And I guess Jackson kept a lot of things to himself that I didn’t know about.”

“He never told you about his childhood?”

“Just that he’d lived in a small town in south Georgia and had been sent to boarding school in Virginia when he was in fifth grade. We didn’t get around to talking about our pasts. What we were doing was so exciting, we were caught up in that. Opening a new business, starting a new relationship, all that was pretty intense.”

“That still doesn’t tell me why you came down here,” I said. “Had you ever met Wuvvy?”

“I’d never even heard of her until Jackson was killed,” Anna said. “Jackson said the tenant at Little Five Points didn’t want to move out, so he got our lawyers busy with it. Every day we delay opening there costs us money.”
