casting red and orange streaks across low-hanging clouds The portily, gray-haired
gentleman jogging down the path looked out of place. For one thing, he was dressed in ordinary street clothes, not a sweat
suit. Also, every few seconds, he looked anxiously back over his shoulder. Coming closer to me, I saw that his face was flushed He was panting, almost gasping Abruptly, looking this way and that he
moved behind a tree Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting heavily. After a moment, he poked his head out to survey the path It was still empty, except for a
squirrel that dashed across the path like a furry dart. I checked my watch it was now 7.30 Mentally marking the time, I aimed my camera toward the man's face.
