UNCHARTED PATH
Lucas had already straddled the motorbike, strapped on his helmet, revved the engine, and before Alex could get another word out, he zoomed off, vanishing into traffic like smoke in the wind.
“No, no, no—damn it!” Alex gritted, eyes darting after the disappearing blur. He turned to the attendant, “Why didn’t you stop him?!”
The poor guy blinked in confusion, only now catching on to what his colleague had been trying to signal. But the damage was done.
Alex yanked out his notepad from the car, hastily scribbling down the first three digits of the plate number he barely caught. “R29…” he muttered, then slammed his pen down. “Shit! Beautiful one, I lost you again?”
