“Where were you last Wednesday night?”

“Here, probably”

“Probably?” I was tired of this verbal dance “C’mon, it was only last week I’m sure you can remember back that far”

Little D gave Narsh a warning glare Narsh, still rubbing his neck, said, “I was here, okay? Damn”

Assu that was true and someone saw him here, Narsh had an alibi for Shanae’s lanced at Little D to see if he had anything to say He gestured for me to continue

“Do you know Shanae Jackson?” I asked

“She the ht? I seen her” Narsh’s expression told

“Did you see Rodney and Shanae argue any time recently?”

“She come by the shop and made a lotta noise, yeah She do that now and then Pain-in-the-ass bitch”

“You won’t have to worry about her anymore She was beaten to death”

His eyes widened “You don’t say?” He paused before speaking again “With that mouth on her, can’t say I’m surprised”
