He listened to her plea –which she could have avoided because he totally understood- and told her to stop by his office in a couple of hours to further discuss the situation.
    When he arrived at the receptionist desk he noticed a thin, clean cut brother, wearing a pair of beige Dockers and white button down shirt, sitting on the leather sofa reading a copy of the latest Vibe magazine. Tyrin eyed him for a moment and noticed that he did look like he could be a relative of Déjà’s, but he still needed to know what the dude was really all about.
    “Mr. Carson, how are you?” Tyrin professionally asked.
    Darion looked up and placed the magazine back on the coffee table, before he grabbed his attaché case and stood up to make Tyrin’s acquaintance. “Hello Tyrin, how are you?” he asked as he extended his hand in greeting. Tyrin returned the handshake and asked him to follow him back into his office.
    Darion was about 5’9” and fairly attractive, but he had a sense of urgency about him. He followed Tyrin back through the office and noticed how everyone looked rather intense and sure of themselves. Darion nodded his head at those that were looking at him, but still stayed close to Tyrin like he was scared to lose him.
    Tyrin stopped at Treys’ desk, inquired about the Joe CD cover, and insisted that he set up a meeting with the representative that was in charge. He introduced Trey and Darion to each other and continued to his office. “Come on in and have a seat.” He held the door open for Darion as he walked through with a little hesitation. He noticed the action but blew it off as him being nervous about the meeting. He closed the door, walked around his desk and took a seat facing this unnerved caller.
    “How can I help you?” he asked, his hands folded in front of him on the desk.
    “Do you honestly remember my sister?” Darion asked.
    “Yes.”
    “When was the last time you saw her?”
    “Didn’t we discuss this on the phone?”
    “Yes we did.” Darion took a deep breath and exhaled before he continued. “You said that the last time you saw her was right after you graduated from college.”
    “And as far as I know she went to Europe to further her education. What does this have to do with the movie you are making?” Tyrin asked, annoyed by the repeat questions.
    “Did you talk to her after you got back to L.A?” he quizzed.
    “O.K. Look Darion, I’m really busy, and if you came here just to figure out why your sister and I broke up, you’re really wasting our time. You said on the phone you needed some assistance on a business level, now unless you get down to business, I am going to have to ask you to leave.” Tyrin was now leaning back in the chair with his arms folded across his chest.
    There was a moment of silence and then Darion opened his attaché case and started thumbing though some documents. Tyrin, finally feeling like some work was about to be discussed saw no problem with asking an ice-breaking question. “Anyway, how is Déjà doing?” Darion looked up with a cold glare, causing Tyrin to feel a little uneasy, “She’s dead.”
    The mood in the room shifted and Tyrin couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of him. He felt as though he was looking at a ghost. It all started to make sense as to why Darion seemed so on edge. He had dealt with his share of tragedies in his life and he knew how it felt to lose a sibling but for some reason it was as though Darion had lost more than that. “Man, I am so sorry, what happened? When did she pass?” His voice was very apologetic and that seemed to ease Darion a little.
    “Did you know she was diabetic?”
    “No. I didn’t.” Tyrin tried to show in his expressions that he was really sorry about her passing. “She never mentioned it.” He added.
    “Yeah, well she liked to keep that side of herself fairly private. Anyway she pretty much started to develop major complications from the illness after Caleb arrived?” Darion placed a
