The Courier's Rule

Synopsis

The rule is the whole job. You collect, you drive, you deliver, and you do not look. Sal Amadi has done four thousand runs on that rule in eleven years, and it has never once seemed like a hard rule, because the alternative was always obvious and always immediate. He collects at nine from the usual place, from a man who does not look at him either. Ninety-one miles, four hours with the traffic. Somewhere past the reservoir, on a straight piece of road with nothing on either side of it, the bag on the passenger seat moves.

Who this is about

Sal Amadi has couriered for the same people for eleven years on a single rule, which he has never broken and which is the reason he is alive.

What goes wrong

The bag is moving.

What's at stake

Opening it ends him. Not opening it means delivering it, and he has ninety miles to decide which.

Why it keeps going

Each episode is one more mile toward the address and one more good reason to stop the car.

Takeaway

A rule that has protected you for eleven years was written by somebody it protects rather more.
