THIRTY-FIVE

Well now, look at that.

Black Mamba stood in the doorway of Savors, a restaurant on the third block of Main open for dinners only. With its long white awning, recessed entrance, and current closed state, Savors afforded him the perfect place to wait and watch. Shadowed in the tiled and arched threshold, he wore a baseball cap and new T-shirt he’d bought over in Spirit Lake.

With great satisfaction he watched the Kanner Lake chief of police escort a young woman up the street to his car. Paige Williams.

For this, Mamba had returned from Spirit Lake before making his phone call. Standing at the pay phone in that town, he’d felt something. A primal instinct coiling within, the sense that events in Kanner Lake were slipping along like a serpent through swamp. In his work over the years, he’d felt the same prescience many a time and knew to heed it. Mamba had stilled, the phone in his palm. In such a moment an apprised snake would pull up, flicker its tongue, seeking the source of vibration. He fancied himself doing the same, in tune with the primordial fibrillation . . .

After a moment he’d replaced the receiver.

Now he would wait no longer in the Savors doorway. Passersby who happened to spot him would think little of someone stepping out of the sun for a cooling moment but might wonder if he lurked too long. He would cruise the shops idly, watching the entrance of Simple Pleasures. Would the police bring Paige Williams back? Or had they already linked the earring to her?

Little matter. His phone call would seal her fate.
