CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
It was a simple plan. On Friday, Little D would observe the Iverson Mall drop and follow the man in the blue uniform. Narsh would meet the white guys around twelve-thirty the next day in the lot at Calvert Road Park and give them their package. I intended to be there to see the handoff, take photos, and follow the two men after they left the park. Little D and I would touch base later that day.
Little D returned Narsh’s empty clip and we left Choochie’s. I asked if he would run me by Rochelle Watson’s house. I still hoped one of the neighbors would confirm Tina’s presence the night of the murder. Little D took me to the house. While I knocked on Rochelle’s door, he visited other neighbors.
The door opened to reveal Tanya’s thin, sallow face. “What is it?” Her eyes were as dull as her voice.
“Hi, Tanya. Remember me?”
“Yeah, I ’member you. Whatchoo want now?”
“I wondered if I could speak to Rochelle.”
