“I feel so stupid.” He muttered, smoothing his hair before putting on the baseball cap. “How do we even know he’s gonna show?”
“Just trust me,” a female voice spoke through the ear-piece in his ear, “he’s gonna show.”
He sniffed, and when he does, it’s showtime.
Nonchalantly, he walked store to store, pretending to window-shop while his senses on high alert. After a few minutes, as he began thinking, I should really come back here and shop once this is over, his partner’s voice boomed in his ear. “I see him. He’s heading to the west parking lot.”
Showtime.

A great cliff hanger, what happens next?

Thanks. I guess next would be him racing across the parking lot to catch whoever this is.

He is out there to hit someone! If he is caught he may go to jail. Otherwise, he will be on the run. He is not coming back for shopping here.

Unless he’s an undercover cop, then he won’t be going to jail and he will be coming back to shop.

Maybe, or maybe they’ve done their surveillance and ready to corner the perpetrator.
