Cats are to be envied for their never-ending patience. They’ll sit or lie motionless for hours on end as they wait for their prey. I am not a cat. The waiting is maddening. I close my eyes and ears to the screams and cries of undisciplined children, the high-pitched laughter of teenage girls, and the boisterous buffoonery of old men. I’m about to give up and return to the church before the ten o’clock curfew when a lime-green Thum light appears on a car’s window. My patience has been rewarded.

It is an SUV, a different car and driver, but that doesn’t matter. He enters the burger joint. I get up and leave to position myself near his car. I check his car door, but it is locked, so I move behind a truck parked two spaces over and watch as he eats and then disappears. I worry. Did he spot me? Maybe he just went to the men’s room. He reappears and walks toward the exit. There is an audible “pop” when he unlocks the SUV’s doors with his electronic key fob. As he focuses on entering the driver’s side, I swiftly move to the passenger door and jump inside.

He begins to speak, “You can’t—”

I point the Beretta at his face, rack a round into the chamber, and say, “If you want to see the sun tomorrow morning, do exactly what I tell you.”
