Rough Draft
“No sign of Hal Bonner.
Frank Sheffield was sitting behind the wheel of one of a dozen surveillance vehicles in play this afternoon, a brown UPS truck. He was idling at the stop sign on Seaview Lane, a side street off Old Cutler Road when Hannah Keller passed in a red Porsche convertible, a Boxster, if Sheffield wasn’t mistaken. Hannah and her kid, with the convertible top up, windows down. The kid sticking his arm out the window, making a wing with his hand, riding the bumpy air currents.
Frank... put the big truck in gear, rolled onto the roadway. He was wearing the UPS uniform, brown shorts and shirt, heavy black brogans. Wondering how the UPS guys stood it, the sticky synthetic threads, the sun-absorbing color. He was miked up, a black dot on his collar, and a flesh-colored receiver plugged in his left ear.
“I got her,” Frank said. “Red Porsche Boxster. License AGP Five-Six-Six.”
In his earpiece Helen Shane rogered that.
“I’m rolling now, four cars back. There’s Hannah’s Porsche, then a green Camaro, a blue late-model Toyota Corolla, a black Dodge van, then little old us.MoreLess
