  Corey McDowell, salesman at Brunswick Autos, saw a handsome, nicely-dressed man in his early fifties enter the lot. The man had his eye on a Lexus that, for some reason, customers had little interest in, even though it was in perfect condition and had only three thousand miles on it. McDowell walked up to the man and introduced himself, hoping in his heart he could sell the Lexus and get the bonus check his boss promised anyone who could get it off the lot, where it had sat for more than ten years.

  “I am Toriano Wright,” the man said, offering his hand.

  “I’m hoping you will be willing to hear me out. My son, Ethan, was robbed and shot for that Lexus eleven years ago. I am on a limited income and it would mean a lot to me if we can negotiate a price I can afford.”
