This made traffic into downtown a breeze and Harry Bosch got to the courthouse early. It was a Friday morning and the smart people had already taken off for the weekend. Then he heard the high-pitched scraping of steel and the inevitable impact of metal against metal. The Camaro surged into the left lane, completing the cutoff.Įllis heard brakes squeal and a long sustained blast of a car horn as the motorcycle went into the oncoming traffic lanes. Ellis was ready for the move and pinned the accelerator. He should have braked and bailed but he tried to gun his way out of it. He kicked at the side of the car and then gunned it to try to move ahead. He pulled a few feet ahead and as the road curved right he allowed the car to drift into the left lane, following the laws of centrifugal force. The flames matched the color of the Camaro. He glanced over and saw the rider’s black boots and the orange flames painted on the gas tank. He had caught up and was now riding next to the motorcycle. He saw an opening in the right lane and pushed his foot down. Long was looking down at the screen on his phone, staring at the video feed, watching over what they called their investments. They were eastbound, coming up to the big curve where the road would turn south and head down through the pass into Hollywood.Įllis was behind the wheel, where he preferred to be, even though he was the senior partner and could dictate to Long who drove and who rode shotgun.
