OLIVERSTONE WAS COUNTING SECONDS, an exercise that had always calmed him. And he needed to be calm. He was meeting with someone tonight. Someone very important. And Stone didn\u2019t quite know how it was going to go. He did know one thing for certain. He was not going to run. He was through running.<\/p>\n

Stone had just returned from Divine, Virginia, where Abby Riker, a woman he\u2019d met, lived. Abby had been the first woman Stone had feelings for since he\u2019d lost his wife three decades prior. Despite their obvious fondness for one another, Abby would not leave Divine, and Stone could not live there. For better or worse, much of him belonged to this town, even with all the pain it had caused.<\/p>\n

That pain might become even more intense. The communication he\u2019d received an hour after returning home had been explicit. They would come for him at midnight. No debate was allowed, no negotiation suffered through, no chance of any compromise. The party on the other end of the equation always dictated the terms.<\/p>\n

A few moments later he stopped counting. Car tires had bitten into the gravel that lined the entrance to Mt. Zion Cemetery. It was a historical if humble burial site for African Americans who\u2019d gained prominence by fighting for things their white counterparts had always taken for granted, like where to eat, sleep, ride in a bus or use the bathroom. The irony had never been lost on Stone that Mt. Zion rested high above fancy Georgetown. It was not all that long ago that the wealthy folks here only tolerated their darker brethren if they wore a maid\u2019s starched uniform or else were handing out drinks and finger foods and keeping their obedient gaze on the polished floors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
