Description
His only flaw was that he paused to watch his victim spin or crumple. Sometimes the sight sent him out of his body. That last time--hovering twelve feet above the sparsely lit street, he saw the slain curved in a distorted S under the streetlight. And he saw his own head and feet and fists moving fast and blurred beneath the falling snow, dodging and zigzagging the warm, liquid bursts of porch lights till he slid into the alley. Then he was inside his body, arms shaking, heart tumbling, his car tunneling so smoothly up the street and into the cavern of the night. His brain tingled, exultant, and needles of heat and cold pricked his face and scalp: I'm a shooting star. He lived in sad tilted rooms or primly plush hotel suites, depending on the assignment. He traveled with three suits and a clock radio, and he owned the contents of an apartment in the Bronx. Most of his money was in the bank, and he rested his mind on it often and unconsciously, as he rested his chin on his hand.
