She sat in the Starbucks cafe, sipping her coffee and staring out of the window. The blood stained knife lay next to her handbag, covered with her blue silk scarf. A solitary chair next to Jan awaited Dan's arrival. It was getting dark outside, dim lights lit the café, and there wasn't much of a crowd. Two men in the far corner of the café were talking softly as they sipped coffee. It was half past seven, as Dan entered the café.
