Sebastian stood in the shadows across the street from Pearl Harris’s apartment complex. From his vantage point, he could see her apartment door in the glow of the security lights. There was no guarantee she would come straight home from the bar, but if he’d timed it right, she should be arriving just about now.

Sure enough, her figure appeared from the gloom, on foot, coming from the direction of the bar. She looked tired, her head drooping and feet dragging wearily. Watching her closely as she climbed the steps, he smiled when she stopped abruptly at the sight of a plastic grocery bag hanging from her door handle. With hesitant motions, she unhooked it and peered inside. Though he wasn’t close enough to see her face, he saw the shock in her body language. She pulled out a piece of paper from the bag, stared at the words scribbled on it, then shook herself. Looking around for observers, she quickly slipped inside and shut the door.

Mission accomplished, Sebastian emerged from his hiding place and headed down the street to his car, already packed and ready for his trip to Pitts.

As he got in and turned the key, he couldn’t stop smiling, picturing Pearl’s face in his mind and imagining her expression while reading the note he’d left in the bag:

I’m out. Get yourself out too.
