Soul of the Assassin
“It wasn’t quite five—the train had been about a half hour late—and the station was not entirely awake yet. He walked past a row of gated stores, then found the left luggage room; the sign said that it didn’t open until eight.
There was no sense waiting at the station. Atha decided he would find some place for breakfast, then conduct a little business by phone. There were many arrangements to be made.
Atha didn’t think it likely that he’d be followed, but he decided to take a turn ar...ound the station just in case. Glancing at the departures board, he realized an Italian military policeman near the ticket counter was staring at him. Atha’s skin was not noticeably darker than that of many native Neapolitans, but somehow the policeman seemed to have identified him as a foreigner. He had his thumbs in his belt, ready to pounce.
Under other circumstances Atha might have confronted the man, but now he decided his best course was to simply leave without creating a fuss.MoreLess
