The city is busy during this time of the day, and reading the screen next to the steering wheel, I realize people must be driving to work now. It’s ten minutes to eight, no wonder the road is so full.
But at the same time that explanation makes me feel uneasy. I can’t afford to lose even a minute, if I want to escape. Teivel is surely going to send a whole army after me as soon as he finds out what happened. I need to get to the archway before that happens.
I already mean to ask the driver if he knows any shortcuts but decide to keep quiet in the end. Being nervous won’t make the traffic move any faster. And it certainly won’t motivate the driver to step on it. However, confusing the stoplights might help a little.
I try to be as discreet as I can, leaning my head to the window
