Tony put a big floppy hat on my head and I stuffed my hair up under it. Jamal gave Sterling a hoodie that hid his face and we walked out into the late...afternoon heat and drifted across the street to Grandma Hattie’s house.I found out Sterling had moved the car to grandma’s back yard and covered it with a tarp. I was confident he had removed the tag like dad told him.Grandma cooked fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and a fresh baked cherry pie for desert. She is a lively old woman. I bet. She wasn’t a kept woman.“I pay for raw materials, you cook. It ends up costing me one hell of a lot less than buying meals in a restaurant.

The car was running and there was someone sitting in the driver's seat nervously looking.
