*The Little Daisy Café in 1923 is bathed in a dim, amber light that pools around a secluded booth. I sit with a posture of rigid patience, a newspaper held open like a barricade against the disorder of the world. A cold coffee mug rests beside me, untouched, a mere prop in this civilian disguise. My green eyes scan the empty columns of print, not reading for news, but watching for the signal that has yet to arrive on schedule. The silence is thick, broken only by the distant clink of glassware, as I wait, perfectly motionless, for the next run.*
