47. Crashed

Tanya's POV

Descending the small flight of steps that led to the house, my whole body was alert in case I ran into anyone. I'd always been thankful for the way this neighborhood was built rather I'd never been more thankful than that morning as I strolled along the gravel road.

It took minutes for the house to be left behind, the dim streetlights helping my vision and at the same time not making me visible to anyone peeking from their windows.

I had ordered the taxi driver to wait for me three houses away from Leo's and so I trudged faster in the hopes he'd arrived and waited. A few feet ahead, I spotted a small car and pulled the hood of my black sweatshirt tighter in case it was not him.

Fishing my phone from my pocket as I walked, I quickly unlocked it and checked the details of the car as I got closer. To my relief, the plate number matched, together with the color and description.
