After Matteo left the apartment, he found a suitable spot and sat down. But just as he thought he would not bump into anyone he knew, a car sped by in the neighborhood and someone spotted him. “Kelly, I’m not sure if I’m seeing things, but I think I just saw your niece’s stepson in Old Town.” The sky was already dark and the woman in the car was simply taking a cursory glance at the surroundings.
