MYSTERY AT HAINS POINT HAS BECOME "THE AWAKENING"

Excerpt from Ch 9:


It was 8:00 P.M. and dark on the streets of our nation’s capital.  The temp had dipped to the high forties as winter seemed to be getting firmly ensconced in the District. A figure in a dark down parka, and navy blue watch cap stood under the awning of a darkened shop across the street from Jake’s hotel. He intently watched Jake as he sat at a lobby bar table writing in a notebook. It was at this time that he took his evening stroll before turning in for the night.

Jake motioned for the waiter; signed his bill; stood and put on his coat and baseball cap. He pushed open the glass lobby door; shoved his hands into his jacket pockets, and emerged on the sidewalk.

Jake’s tracker took careful notice to check once more to verify the route this Mr. Vincent took on his nightly walk. It was almost exactly one mile. He would walk west on Pennsylvania Av; south on 14th street; across the National Mall; turn east on Independence Av.; north across the Mall to Pennsylvania Av., then west back to the Lex Hotel. The watcher grabbed a quick cup of coffee; moved a few store fronts east on PA Av., and waited. Vincent emerged on his way back to the Lex, in exactly the same time he did every night. It was time to plan an encounter with the subject and pose the question to him. The watcher moved in behind his target. Just as he was a few steps from the hotel, the watcher turned up his collar; picked up his pace and brushed past Jake. “Excuse me, I apologize.”
