The Ledger of Borrowed Names

Mara doesn't read another word. She shoves the black book into her bag, locks both cabinets, and heads for the door. But a man in a gray coat is already standing on the sidewalk outside, watching the storefront. He smiles and lifts one hand in a small wave, like he's been expecting her.
Mara turns and runs the other way, clutching her bag. Footsteps follow fast behind her. She ducks into an alley, hops a fence, and doesn't stop until the city swallows her. When she finally checks her bag, her stomach drops. The black book is gone. It must have fallen during the chase, lying open in the street for anyone to find.
