Exit 60 Was Never On the Map
We were headed to Los Angeles. A road trip—just the two of us. Me and my younger sister, Clara. No deadlines, no responsibilities, just two playlists, a cooler packed with sodas and sandwiches, and the kind of warm, aimless freedom that only comes with summer highways.

A Stranger in the Storm
It was in a downpour, and the wind was howling when I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it at this hour?" I laid my hat on the stool, my slippers, and drew back the curtain. Though it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, so dark was it all around with the rain which had been falling since yesterday. At my door were James Mudalali and another guy from the shop downstairs. I noticed the lights on the verandah.. I opened the door.. And there was a terrible cold at the same time.

The Crimson Compass
The rain lashed down in thick sheets as Mia Kael ducked into the crumbling ruins of the San Telmo monastery. The echo of her pursuer’s boots on the slick stones followed her like a curse. She clutched the ancient compass tightly in her fist—its strange red-glowing needle spinning wildly, disobeying all logic.

Dead Ringers; Chapter 17
Miles's eyes make a careful sweep of the room, stopping on the nurse that currently hovers over Elliot, checking on him. I glance towards the door. The door is shut, but I know that two Night Division officers stand at attention outside the door. When I look back at Miles, he's studying Elliot's chart. It's my turn to watch the nurse as she walks towards the door. The two officers look at her, before looking back to the hall.
