Five minutes later he saw her emerge into Post Alley, two stories below. She drifted to a halt. Slowly she started to turn, to raise her head—and though Todd darted back from the window as quickly as he could, she caught him.

When he leaned cautiously back, she was still there, looking right up at him. She shifted her face into something that was like a smile and raised one hand, the index finger extended. Using her whole arm, she moved it to describe a symbol in the air. A short spiral, like the number 9.

Then she turned away as if he were of no account and walked rapidly up the alley and out of sight.

Todd watched the alley a little longer, in case she came back. He wasn’t really sure why the prospect worried him. Something about that last phrase. It had seemed so ridiculous, coming from a little girl, that it…it had reminded him of something. Someone.

A meaningless coincidence, nothing more, the mind joining unrelated dots from across the years. Time was weighing on him, that’s all—he’d worked that out before. What he needed was a rejuvenator. He tried to remember exactly what Jenni in reception looked like and was a little worried to find that he could not. He could redress that later. Perhaps over a drink.

As his mind clicked back onto old paths and the work in front of him started to get done, Todd began to feel more like himself once again.
