City Of Strangers (Luis Chavez Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
There was an early-morning Mass at six thirty, which gave Luis about an hour for his morning run. He considered heading east toward the USC campus and its many jogging paths around the stadium and Natural History Museum, but the area would already be packed with students. Instead, he crossed the bridge over the I-10 freeway and headed for the south part of downtown, which he knew would be empty. Though he could occasionally hear a car or truck a few blocks over, the city itself looked abandoned. Every block was depopulated, every shop locked up tight. The streets and sidewalks didn’t get swept or the trash picked up here as often as elsewhere, adding to the apocalyptic feel. Luis didn’t mind. So much of life at the church and at the neighboring parochial school, St. John’s, was task driven. There was always something to do, always someone trying to get his attention. Even when in prayer it could feel as if he was stealing time from some other task that needed to be done. Out on the road he was able to open his mind, commune with God as he let his thoughts flow freely, and reflect on the days ahead.
