Chapter 1
Prologue
"That's all for today. Class dismissed. I'll see you Thursday."
The students packed up their things and filed out of the classroom. The tanned, dark-haired professor followed suit, a few paces behind. It was his last lecture of the day, so he walked to his vehicle, punched in his keyless entry code, and climbed in the driver's seat.
As he backed out of his parking space and drove away, he was unaware that he was being followed.
"Professor Nicholas Black."
He adjusted his binoculars from his perch across the parking lot.
"I might have guessed you drove a BMW," he said with condescension.
He climbed into his car and pulled seamlessly behind the gray BMW.
Ten minutes later, Nicholas pulled into the parking spot in front of his apartment. He had not noticed that the dark, late-model sedan had followed him the entire way home. He paid no attention when it passed him and stopped just a few spaces away. He exited the BMW, fumbled for his apartment key, and disappeared inside.
The man in the sedan made a mental note of the street name and apartment number.
"Now I know where you live, Professor Black," he said menacingly to himself. "Now the game begins."
