Chapter 17. Fire

I was sure that it was my Uber. The app on my phone showed the car’s location; that it was right in front of me. I opened the door of the car and I got into the back. The AC lightly bathed me when I closed the door and relaxed in the backseat.

“Hi,” I greeted the driver, but he did not respond. The car jerked forward gently as it began to move. I was glad that I listened to Mark’s advice instead of overthinking and trying to get my car to work when it was getting late.

I did not make it a big deal that the driver ignored me, I simply brushed it off and took out my phone. I texted Mark that I was in my Uber and heading home already. 

I gave my address to the driver and he only nodded. He was wearing a baseball cap but I could see a dash of his blonde hair from behind. He did not look behind so I did not get a glimpse of his face. 

The car smelt new and no music played from the speakers. The car was modern and from the interior, looked very expensive.
