One Dead Lawyer (David Price Mysteries)
Page 20
Damn. I hear him loud and clear . . . but I am neither the police, a priest nor a judge, so it’s really not my business.
Without turning to look at him I say, “Mr. Nelson, my part in all this is over. Why are you telling me this?”
“Because, Mr. Price, I want you to know that in the end, old drunk Mr. Nelson took care of his family and handled his business.”
Looking over to Regina’s back door, he’s right—it is nothing but a stone toss away. He could have knocked Randolph Peal in the head with a rock and hurt him. I never even considered Mr. Nelson as a suspect. When I turn to face him he is gone.
I am startled by his sudden disappearance, but that doesn’t stop me from making my own rapid exit. I quickly get across the alley and up Regina’s walk to her back door. When I look back at Mr. Nelson’s porch, I see his back door slam shut.
God bless him.
This case is closed as far as I am concerned. I’m ready to hang out with my son.
While knocking on Regina’s door, I hear “Hey, Daddy-Man!” Chester yells through the screen door.
“Hey, Chester Price!” I yell back at him. Regina’s mother opens the door and my boy leaps into my arms, and at this moment, for a brother like me, all is right with the world.
