Adam

O sol, rompendo entre os prédios altos, pintava pontos brilhantes no asfalto. Adam Stern, vestido em um terno perfeitamente sob medida, caminhava pela calçada, com o rosto tenso como se fosse feito de granito. Seus guarda-costas, em ternos pretos, caminhavam ao seu lado, sem tirar os olhos dos arredores.

A manhã não tinha começado bem. Sua secretária, que sempre lhe trazia café fresco, adoeceu subitamente. E agora, após um voo longo e tedioso, Adam sentia uma irritabilidade incômoda e persistente.

Naquele momento, ele notou uma pequena cafeteria, confortavelmente escondida ao fundo da rua. Ele nunca a tinha visto antes. Mas algo nela chamou sua atenção. Talvez fosse o aroma que emanava da porta aberta, ou apenas o desejo de mudar de ambiente.

Ele abriu a porta e os dois guarda-costas se apressaram logo atrás dele. O ar estava repleto do aroma de café recém-passado, especiarias e doces.

Adam olhou ao redor e seu olhar pousou em você.
