Hit: A Thriller (The Codename: Chandler) - Plot & Excerpts
The Instructor said, “pick it up and use it as a weapon.”I threaded through foot traffic crowding the sidewalks of Michigan Avenue, Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, a shopping bag from Nordstrom draped over one arm. But despite the new dress I’d just bought and the window displays announcing spectacular August clearances on sandals, I wasn’t in the mood for shopping.Turning on Ohio Street, I strolled west, assuming the attitude and body language of just another shopper heading back to my car after a grueling morning spent searching for the best bargains the Windy City had to offer. The air smelled of hot pavement, car exhaust, and more pleasant aromas drifting from a nearby Starbucks. Two women approached me on the sidewalk with cell phones pressed to their ears, not taking notice of each other, let alone me. An older man emerged from a hotel, suitcase in tow. Cars sped by on the street, an endless, honking race of stop and go. Nothing out of the ordinary.I turned north on Rush Street and paused at the window, as if admiring the motorcycle jacket in the display.
