I looked
at my watch again, wondering when the research agent was going to arrive.
He told me that he wouldn't be driving, but that he'd come out of the main
gate from inside the deck and tip his hat at me when he was ready to talk.
I didn't ask too many questions about how he would arrive, or how he'd
leave, or how he'd know who I was; I just did as he had instructed during
the phone call earlier and waited on the corner across the street. He
hadn't told me not to bring anyone along, and Janine had offered to come,
anyway, although I was making her stay outside of the parking deck. I was
still worried about her safety, but it was too late to go back…. Unless,
of course, he didn't show up. |
