Parking didn’t pose a challenge in this sleepy little northern
California beach town, but I pulled into a spot a block down from my
destination anyway. Better to keep a low profile.
My mark’s place of employment, the Chipper Bean, was the only
business on the block with a light on. (Stupid fucking name, and if I’d been
going after whoever came up with it, I’d have been a lot happier.) The sign
offended me as much as the name, featuring a grinning coffee bean with
very large, very white teeth and a pair of aviator sunglasses. The bean
clutched a steaming mug, presumably full of coffee.
Had Cannibal Bean already been taken when they named the place?
Either way, the logo looked goddamn happy to be swilling the juices of its
fellows. I scowled at it and pulled the door open, setting off a cheery jingle.
One customer hunched over a table by the front window, wearing
headphones and staring at his laptop. Another stood at the register ordering,
next to a counter with a glass-fronted section holding some sad-looking
pastries and another counter with cream and sugar. A few other scattered
tables sat empty.
And working away at the espresso machine, wreathed in a cloud of
steam, was the guy I’d been sent here to kill.
Not even a guy, really. A kid. He’d looked goddamn young in the
photo, but in person he could’ve been a high-school student. He stood
maybe less than an inch shorter than my own six-feet-even, so not small in
that sense, but a stiff breeze could’ve sent him floating away like dandelion
fluff.
His hair, which drifted around his face in a cloud of white-blond
waves, didn’t really help; it made him look even more like a dandelion, and
even more fragile.
I got in line behind the guy at the counter. “Be right with you,” my
target said brightly, his voice as light and sweet as his looks.
Well, this was just fucking great. My mood took a final plummet,
ending up somewhere underneath the artfully scuffed floorboards. The kid
—John, according to the file I’d memorized, and I’d never seen anyone
who looked less like someone named plain John—had a wide fucking
smile. Rosy lips. White, slightly crooked teeth.
And as far as I knew, he’d only made my hit list because he existed
and someone out there didn’t like it. They hadn’t even offered the
justification of making bad coffee.
The barely veiled threats had been very much present and accounted
for, though. They knew who I was. They knew who my handler was. They
knew everyone we’d ever been in contact with. And they’d made it clear
that if we didn’t do what they wanted, they’d decide they didn’t like us
existing, either.
Fuck. This.
John gave the customer his drink along with another megawatt grin
and turned his attention to me. I felt like his brilliant blue gaze should’ve
been an X-ray, showing every flaw down to my murderous bones. But he
kept smiling.
