REGAN STEPPED INTO the late-afternoon sun and glanced across the street at the ocean with its mildly breaking waves. At this time of day the beach looked peaceful. The setting sun’s rays were reflecting off the water and most of the sunbathers had headed home.

Regan breathed in the salt air, turned and moseyed down the sidewalk, observing the cafes on the way to her hotel. It might be peaceful on the beach, she thought, but these joints are already getting crowded. Another night of mixing and mingling about to take off.

She reached a side street and waited at the curb for a spurt of traffic to pass before crossing. After last night, she wasn’t about to take any chances. She had just stepped down into the street when she saw another car coming. In a reflex action she jumped back onto the curb and crashed into a rollerblader, who was knocked to the ground with her.

She felt a sharp pain as her elbow smashed into the ground. As she fell she saw his hand scrape along the sidewalk.

She heard him curse under his breath. “Watch it, would ya, lady?” he mumbled as he pulled himself up.

Anger flared in Regan as pain darted through her body. “Watch it yourself,” she snapped as she struggled to her feet. “You shouldn’t have been so close behind me.”

He did not respond. He was already halfway down the side street, skating like lightning in his sunglasses and wide-brimmed straw hat.

Jerk, Regan thought. Her body felt sore all over. The jolt had shaken her badly. He was a solid guy. It was like hitting a brick wall.

She rubbed her elbow and looked around.

A middle-aged couple approached her. “Are you all right?” the man asked solicitously.

“Yes, thank you.”

I backed into him, she thought. And he was moving forward. If he wanted to turn right down the side street, then he shouldn’t have been so close to the curb where I was waiting. He would have just rounded the corner at the high speed he was traveling. Unless of course he wanted to be right behind me.

Once again Regan waited to cross the street and continued on to her hotel. Did he hurry off because he didn’t want me to get a good look at him? she wondered. He looked like a geek with that hat. Was that a disguise? Was this related to last night?
