She felt it as she and Jonas sat at the pier. She felt it as they toured the Egyptian exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. Jonas had been fascinated with the weapons display, even reading about a primitive mechanism to release multiple spears invented by one of the Pharaohs, a young scientific genius. Audray saw a strange man dressed in black reflected off the glass case covering a sarcophagus. When she turned around, he had disappeared. This alerted Jonas. “You’ve seen someone.” Jonas’ jaw muscles tensed. “Yes, I feel like we’re being followed.” “We are. I saw his face.” He grabbed her elbow and led her out of the exhibit hall so fast, she almost mistook his swiftness for anger. They hopped into a cab. Jonas gave the Middle Eastern driver instructions down to the Mission district, far away from their hotel and the tourist area. The dark blue cab lurched and sliced through traffic like a chariot. When they arrived, Jonas searched the street through the rear view window before he exited the cab and then extricated her.
