Devon Monroe to dead bodies in the powder blue Bentley converter
Top-down idling not 20 yards away
Best friend
No movement Devon said
Lights out
I don’t know 11
This is high-profile know what I mean
Livingston
Come on
We sleep
Waffles
No one knows
I’m telling you damn white folks get hung for Less. Let’s get out of here
Never smiled
You owe me brother
Have you forgotten
The young men were both sixteen African American
And had their dark hoodies up
It was 4:15 in the morning
And they were standing in the shadows cast by the Harrison Charter High School
In Garfield Heights
In southeast Washington DC
The parking lot behind the school with dead silence except for their Whispers
Define grimaced struggled but finally said
We got them
Larry said smiling as he groped in his back pocket for two pairs of thin surgical gloves
They put them on
Scan the area
And so I know movement anywhere around the school
Not in the parking lot or on the track and football field
Devon said
I’m serious
Leopard bumpers fit
No phones are nothing but GPS
They walked right up to the Bentley never at the driver’s door
Devon going around to the other side
He skidded to a halt by the passenger door feeling that fear but horror
Chapter 2
Divine sounds like he might puke but took one step
Leaned over and reached into the backseat not letting his shirt or pants touch the Bentley in anyway
He tried to keep his eyes off the woman’s bras there
Naked and dead
Never however stares right into the eyes of the dead man lying next to her
As he skipped his surgical glove hand
Into his tuxedo jacket
You look at the man’s pants around his ankles disdainfully
Bastard
Devastated
Serves you right
On the other side of the buffet Devon smell the Capri odor and it’s chicken temp
Blood
Retarded
Trying not to breathe through his nose if he felt for the woman’s hand
Found a big rock ring
And worked it off her finger
The bracelet
Two on the left one behind the watch on the right
Game off quicker than he’d expected
Define was about to call it good when he started pale glow up the pearl necklace around her neck
Kitoto her head forward
McLaren
Slipped it off and split it into his pocket
Larry whispered
From the other side of the car
I’m done
Right behind you
Define said
He took the pearls from the dead woman’s ears
And later head back on the seat
Never said.
They heard scuffling in the gravel behind them
They took off at a splendid Dodge through a hole in the fence into a dark alley
Where they stopped to look back
Someone was heading toward the car
They ran the length of the alley slowed to a walk across Alabama Avenue
And kept on at a faster Pace toward Fort Circle Park
As the boys were reaching home
They heard sirens began to wail back at the school
Chapter 3
It was 7:30 in the morning and I was standing at the bottom of a granite cliff
On Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park
Looking dubiously up at the cracks in the wall and the ropes dangly beside them
Did my ten-year-old son Ali
Booster to my right wearing a white Rock helmet
And a climbing harness over his t-shirt and shorts
You think his sister said
Janie my seventeen-year-old
With music to my left
Retiring her climbing shoe
The man beside her who was going through enough sex ed
Definitely
Is 6 stories and technically more challenging
And the Rappel down the screamer
It’s a screamer Ali said no screamers I said as far as I’m concerned if you’re screaming
You’re falling so no Screamers
Sorry Jack across the man says cutting the bag down
It just means you can take big release before you tighten up on the rack coming down
I’ll be good Jason and locked into my rack thank you I said
Jason Phelps grandon clapped me on the back
It’s just cool to see someone like you willing to go on rope
Someone like me
I said
With all the hiking we’ve been doing I’m too sweaty
It’s still impressive to see a guy your size going up
He is at a disadvantage
Ali said
Nope my daughter said standing
I’m strong and it got longer
Healthy swallow if you want to be a human fly
Ali said
Sometimes
Chelsea
Who’s up first
For the past four days we’ve been taking a course with felt it was a certified rock climbing instructor
It was Ali’s idea of course the newest of his obsessions
And Jamie had expressed interest in it right away
To be honest
I have been less enthusiastic
What was Janie entering her senior year of high school in 2 months
And her college Years looming
I was trying to lead a more Balanced Life
Focusing more on my family
And that’s on murder and Mayhem
So I agreed to join them
We’ve been bouldering and climbing left sheer Rock for the past 2 days
Though we’d all spent time prior to the course
Learning the basics in The Climbing Gym in Northern Virginia
This would be the first time we had climbed in actual cliff
Ali said stepping forward
Sisters first
Jenny said
She’s up
For my son proud it
Jenny went to the rope and watched Phelps
Intently
As he linked her to the line with a small mechanical device called a jumar
That was already tied to her harness
Did you mark would allow the Rope to slip through only when Jenny ascended
If she fell off the rock the device would lock her in place on the Rope
Just like we talked about yesterday
Felstead
We’re not trusting the chumar are we
Depress ignite to
And a cow’s tail all the way up
He picked up the other open called
Jenny turned all business said
