A Champion's Burden

At 12 PM, Luca was on his way to the HQ.

He had the taxi dispatch number of the park near the airport, where cab drivers gathered as a group with a collective interest.

So he made the call, requesting a dispatch service from the network of drivers to pick him up from Dahlem, so far away.

The cab driver arrived on time, and before long, Luca was already on his way.

Luca had made a huge mistake, and he hoped it wouldn't lead to bad consequences.

When he was leaving his gate and stepping into the taxi, he hadn't yet put on his nose mask and cap. The taxi driver, a Formula racing fan, recognized him instantly, his eyes going wide.

Because of this, the ride wasn't boring. The man kept blabbing excitedly, praising Luca and thanking him for bringing glory to Deutschland.

Luca spoke with the driver, cracked jokes with him, but in the end, he made a request. He asked the man to promise he wouldn't tell a soul about Luca Rennick's address.
