“How long were they there?”

“Couldn’t really tell you exactly. Long enough for me to notice them.”

“What happened when Rah came through the main gate?”

“I never saw Rah’s car from where I was positioned. But right before everything went left, one of those trucks pulled off. A few minutes later, I heard what sounded like gunfire farther down.”

“And what did the other truck do?”

“Gone by the time we started moving towards it with our guns.”

“Why wasn’t that in your statement?”

“I told investigators there were vehicles down the road. I couldn't give plates, faces, nothing useful. By the time everybody started asking questions, all I had was two black SUVs in the dark. That ain’t much.”

“I really appreciate you meeting me, Reggie, and I hope your mom gets better.”

“Just be careful who you ask questions. It’s not safe when we don’t have a face,” he said.

I nodded and left the diner with less than I wanted but more than I came with.

“No.”

“Have you eaten?”

“I don’t have an appetite.”

“What are you about to do?”

I looked at him. “Why do you always think I’m about to do something?”
