Michaelis, a young Greek who runs the "coffee joint" next to the ashheaps and in the same building as Wilson's Garage, stays with George Wilson the night that Myrtle Wilson is killed. Michaelis is also one of the first to reach Myrtle after she is hit by Daisy Buchanan, who was driving Gatsby's car. Michaelis is subsequently questioned by police. He tries to keep George occupied by asking him questions about his marriage and whether he had any kids. He also tells George it would be good if he had a church "for times like this." He tries to convince George that Myrtle's death was just an accident but George suspects that Myrtle had been cheating on him. George shows Michaelis an expensive dog collar which he found in a drawer (presumably for the dog Tom bought for her in New York). George thinks the collar is evidence that she was seeing another man.
