As she heads out onto the street, which is in an industrial area where the businesses shut down at 5, she finds it deserted. She checks the parking lot and, as she was told, her car is gone. Frantically she tries to think of how to get home. She spots a cab driving toward her, she waves him over in a panic.
"Oh, thank God you came by! My car was stolen and I gotta get home." She explains.
"That's what I'm here for," says the cabbie "Where's home?" as he starts off down the road.
"It's just across the bridge, off highway 12 in Northside" she responds.
The cab moves on, and then Melissa remembers the guys stole her purse!!
"Um, excuse me, I'm sorry," she tells the driver "My purse was stolen and I don't have my money, but when we get to my house, I promise—"
"Say no more, miss" the cabbie replies, then calls in to his radio. "Yeah, Butch here, I got a no-cash fare, I'm gonna swing by for a 2X1 form."
"I gotta stop off quick to fill out a form, we had some cabbies giving free rides to friends and some skipped fares, it's no biggie and it's on the way" He explains to Melissa.
Where does the cabbie take her? |
