Murderer? Vose smiled, thanked her for her candor, and said he knew


where to find her if he had any other questions. Shirley and I walked to an area out ofVose’s earshot, and


she grabbedmy arm. Itwasn’t a “let’s stroll down to the corner for a cup of coffee” grab; itwas a “helpme to keep fromfalling down” grab. It wasmy turn to say “what?” “There is a lot more to this,” Shirley said. “Larry wanted


you involved because there is something going on here in the garage.Mary is being threatened.That’s why I sent her to you. “But she isn’t the only one. We have had complaints


from a number of our more reputable tenants. But they don’t want to get involved. Others, particularly the smaller ones, have said nothing. “The garage manager has a business going on the side.”


Shirley said. “He is selling parking permits for cash at a dis- count and keeping themoney.We know it’s happening, but we can’t get anyone to tell the story. “Mary toldme, but she is afraid to tell her boss. He’s very


fussy and doesn’t like to get involved with something as mun- dane as parking.” “But it can’t be a lot of money,” I said. “This is parking,


for goodness sake. It’s not enough to kill for.” “I did the numbers,” Shirley said. “The garage has 750


spaces; 500 of them are monthly parking.We charge $50 a month for a guaranteed space.That’s $25,000 amonth.” “How much money does the manager turn in each


month?” “It varies,” she said. “He says thatmonthly sales are down,


and we also get a considerable number of people who park for just a fewhours.They pay an hourly rate. It’s difficult to figure how much is missing. Larry isn’t overly concerned since we get a sizable check every month from the company that runs the garage.” “Runs the garage? Doesn’t themanager work for you?” “No, we contract with Artie’s Parking,” Shirley said.


“They provide the employees and simply pay us a set fee every month, plus a percentage of the revenue.We are sort of out of the loop.” We heard some yelling and police issuing “get down on


the ground” orders. I looked over at whereVose was standing, and four very large policemen were picking a man up off the ground.There was a gun nearby. Vose picked it up, sniffed. “Now this one has been fired.” “Oh my God,” said Shirley. “That’s Larry Levinson,


my boss.” The police were putting Levinson in the back seat of a


black-and-white. Vose came over. “Well, maybe this one will be easier than I thought.We are booking Levinson for murder one.” Shirley gasped. “Larry’s a good man; he wouldn’t do


something like this.You have to help him, Paul.” To be continued…

Module: EventManagement BOSS Software has announced development of EventMan-


agement, a new module for BOSScars aimed at providing cam- puses with parkingmanagement capabilities for special events. The module is being developed for schools that have many


events occurring on campus that affect the parking operation. It will organize information about the event, such as start and end times, expected number of people, and where it is located. Several customizable reports will be available to help track event statistics and resources. “We are very excited about EventManagement,” said Nick


Farnan, developer for BOSS Software and the new module. “I know how hectic special events can be on campus, so this type of software will help to organize the staffmore efficiently.” Formore information, visit www.BossSoftware.com.
