The Amulet

Chapter 1
With a yell of triumph, Shaw slammed on his brakes as he screeched to a stop in the parking space. He jumped out, and tried to lock it, however, his triumph threatened to be short-lived. The central locking refused to activate, and, muttering a string of obscenities, Shaw ran back to the vehicle to lock it manually.
Across the other side of the station, the train for Wellington sailed gracefully in and Shaw groaned out loud.
Ah, for fuck’s sake. Let there be lots of people wanting to get into the city.
Setting off at a mad race, Shaw ran down the stairs, though the subway, and sprinted up the other side, taking the steps in twos and threes, but just as he emerged at the top, the train was already pulling out.
His breath coming in heaving gasps, Shaw leaned forward, hands on thighs, then pushed his glasses up his nose. Slowly, he stood up straight, ignoring the amused glances from other commuters on the opposite side of the tracks.
There was nothing else for it. Shaw trudged to the café. The trains ran frequently enough, although he’d wanted to get into work a little earlier. Keitha warned me I’d miss my connection if I didn’t hurry. I hate it when my know-it-all sister’s right. Not that she’ll know she was right.
Inside the café, Shaw opted for a chai latte and inhaled its spicy aroma as he picked it up. With his drink in his hand, Shaw selected a table away from the window. He knew the time of the next train, he just had to wait. Pulling out his cellphone, Shaw checked out the news as he sipped at his drink.
Looking up from the news item he’d been reading, Shaw looked around, certain that the prickling sensation at the nape of his neck was due to being stared at. Trying to look surreptitiously around the café resulted in nothing. Everyone he could see was engrossed in their cellphone, except for one man.
Instead of the ubiquitous cellphone, he had a book in his hands, the position of which stopped Shaw from being able to see his face. Seeing someone actually reading was quite a novelty, but Shaw didn’t want to be seen staring so rudely.
With a final glance around, Shaw settled back to finish the news article. He’d barely started reading when a shadow flitted in front of him.
Excuse me, may I join you?
The deep, well-modulated voice had a hint of exotic accent, and Shaw looked up to meet pale blue eyes. Shaw had read about twinkling eyes, but never expected to see them himself. But he was willing to swear
