Shannon walked with Paul into another small shop in downtown Ely. She had listened with shocked horror to his description of the near miss and was surprised at how objectively and accurately he described it. Almost as if it was a news story he was covering, as opposed to his own personal near-death experience. He had given accurate credit to the man who had saved him, but had not gotten his name because the man had bolted almost immediately.
His only mistake was believing the event had truly been an accident.
It was their fourth stop since the encounter with Brian Gleckman at the Boundary Run. Shannon had no interest in shopping, but Paul’s next interview was an hour away, leaving nothing better to do than wander around Ely.
