I kept looking at Herman. E. Calloway.

"He [my father] didn't tell me to meet him here, sir. I come all the way from Flint to meet my daddy for the very first time"...

I pointed right at Herman. E. Calloway's big belly. "You know it's you."

All eyes jumped over on Herman. E. Calloway. He quit smiling and looked at me a lot harder, like he was really noticing me.
