Stone Kiss
“That was how much Decker believed Donatti.
Walking back to the car via Riverside Drive, Decker kept his hands in his pockets as he stared over the parkway. The sun had burned several holes in the cloud cover, casting an intermittent glare over the sluggish Hudson. The streets were a traction nightmare, a mixture of motor oil and ice-chunked water. Cars were splashing sludge and mud curbside, causing Decker to do a two-step to avoid the mess. He touched his swollen face, biting back the pain... with stoicism and Advil. He concentrated on his choices, the two very different paths he could take.
The first was to follow the bastard: to find out what was on Chris’s dance card. Five seconds later, Decker nixed the idea.
The man was savvy and would pick up a shadow as easy as a firearm. Plus, Donatti knew the city streets, and Decker did not.
A tail would not only be useless, but would also alert Donatti to the already known—but as yet unstated—fact that Decker didn’t trust him.MoreLess
