Why I Stopped at George's Auto Shop

I stopped at George's auto shop because I wanted to see what was going on. When I usually pass by George's shop, there is never a soul there, except for him and maybe his wife. Also, I heard that George and Myrtle were planning on moving the next day. I knew deep down that something did not feel right with this whole situation. When I arrived at the shop with Nick and Jordan, there were crowds of people coming in and out of his office to speak with him. This included Michaelis, the owner of a coffee shop next door to George. Also, everyone there looked like they were in a panic, and everyone looked upset. When I first heard of Myrtle's death, I was devastated. Myrtle was the only person that George had, and his life would be terribly ruined without her. Also knowing George, I knew that this would hurt him more mentally than financially. Myrtle was the main reason that most people even came to George's shop, including me and Daisy. The sad thing, though, is that all of the people there were not even giving him any business. They were just there to get the story and leave. I also stopped at the shop to try and comfort Tom and help him with this mystery of Myrtle's death. I knew that George wanted to hear the truth, and I deeply wanted to tell it to him so he might feel a little better. In this time of need, I wanted to make sure George had some company to support him, especially after something as tragic as this.
