The Amulet
“Durban stood at the window and watched me, a sardonic grin on his face.
He was playing with me. I knew it, and he knew it. I didn't know whether he had the amulet or not, but he certainly knew more about it than anybody else I'd talked to, including the fact it was missing. I walked across the road, took a window seat in the cafe opposite and settled in for a wait.
Durban still stood by the window, but he was no longer looking at me. I saw him take a call on his cellular phone, then he moved away. But unless there was an entrance I didn't know about, he was still in the shop.
I'd already resolved that I would follow Durban when he left. I just hoped he didn't work too late.
A waitress arrived at my shoulder.
"Yes?" she said.
"What happened to 'Can I help you sir?'" I said.
She looked at me as if I was stupid.
"What?" she said.
