Final Chapter
Charlotte, NC
8:05 am
Harry’s eyes were pressed against the military-grade binoculars, as he zeroed in on the cab slowly approaching the driveway of the high-rise, observing its movements from his perch on the terrace area of the top-floor restaurant that overlooked the street, and from where he had a 180-degree view of everything surrounding the high-rise.
“Somebody’s coming,” he said quietly into the microphone snug against his cheek, clipped to his earpiece. “In a cab, just turned into the street in front of the high-rise, approaching the driveway slowly.”
“Copy that,” Tom responded from behind the security desk in the lobby of the building, as he tapped the lobby guard’s shoulder to switch the image being picked up by the cameras over the driveway from one of the little screens to the bigger central screen that they were looking at.
The cab pulled up into the short driveway from the street, slowing even further as it approached the glass doors of the lobby.
“Lady in the back,” Harry reported, as he activated the laser rangefinder of the binoculars, training it on the middle of the windshield of the cab. Within less than half a second it gave him real-time distance, angle, temperature, and air pressure calculations based on the ballistics data that he’d uploaded. He steadied his rifle.
A woman alighted from the cab a minute after the cab had slowed to a stop in front of the glass doors. While the cab had been idling, she’d settled her bill with the cab driver, then turned and dragged her roller that had been sitting next to her on the backseat after she got out. Meanwhile, the cab driver opened his door, then slowly got out, stretching his arms out first, before shuffling to the trunk of the cab, and pulled out her luggage.
Tom could hear her thank the driver, and as she tried to pull both the larger luggage and her carry-on roller, dragging one on each hand behind her, the lobby guard jumped up to help her, glancing quickly at Tom as he did so. Tom nodded at him while whispering into his microphone, “False alarm. Just a resident or guest coming in from the airport probably.”
The cab pulled out, and, just as slowly as it had come in, turned into the street. Harry continued to observe it until it turned into the main road, and accelerated to match the speed of the traffic, then melted into the stream of cars.
