There was a small street a few blocks off from the firm that hosted a variety of vendors every day, an open air shopping mall of sorts that appealed mostly to tourists but had a few tables that held unique items worthy of a gift. It also happened to be a great place to disappear into a milling crowd for a while and not have to worry about being bothered. Most of the time.
After the monthly board meeting had wrapped up and Lindsey had fielded the questions thrown his way on his progress with several projects that the board members were concerned with the success of, Lindsey had snuck out of his office with only a word to Penny, his secretary, that he would be out for lunch instead of staying in as usual.
He made his way through the crowd, more interested in finding one of the food booths than whatever was being sold until something caught his eye. He backed up, reaching out to pick up in his palm a little sterling silver horseshoe charm on a leather cord. Looking it over, an idea slowly began to form and soon enough, he'd purchased the item.
Mind elsewhere, he started to turn away from the table and abruptly ran into someone else.
