As he made his way out he heard a faint cry of Audrey calling out to him. Maybe Darren told her about him being there but he didn’t want to meet her at the moment.
Darren had to face her alone this time, he could only pray for his safety and hope they would get out of this dilemma soon.
He hoped out of the window and landed right in the parking lot. He took notice of all the cameras and avoided them before casually walking out only to spot the same taxi that he came here in.
" Hey man! I have been waiting for you. You were hardly in there!" The driver waved excitedly trying to get his attention.
Samuel waved back smiling at the other person’s silly antics. Since, the taxi was already there he quickly jumped inside and told the driver to speed off fearing Audrey’s men would block the road to search for him.
Still, it would be hard for them to guess he was taking a taxi and not driving his expensive car. They left the cafe parking lot moving on to the road before he breathed a sigh of relief.
" I told you, you don’t have to wait. You could have gotten another customer rather than wait for me for half an hour."
" I could but I thought since you came here you would need a taxi again. You also gave me a lot in tips so I thought it’s only right for me to do something extra." The driver said while chuckling.
Samuel could feel that the driver was genuine with his words and wasn’t trying to flatter him to get more tips. It was hard to find honest people now a days so it was a pleasant surprise to find such a hard working man who wasn’t taking his money for granted.
As they were in the middle of conversation, Samuel recieved a text from Jane telling him that everything was ready and asking him about where to meet up for the next phase of their plan.
He simply replied to meet back at his house before finishing the conversation. He knew Daniel must be watching so there was no need for them to say much. Since he was turning a blind eye to his shenanigans, it was his job to finish this thing fast before he could face his family.
" So were to now boss?" The driver asked as Samuel still hadn’t given him a location.
" How would you like to ear something extra? The location is a bit far out of the city but I promise it will be worth your time." Samuel added.
They needed to make a hude detour to the back of the forest where they first escaped from. The distance would be around fifty to sixty miles from where they were in.
" How far are we talking? I have to make it back home to pick up kids from school." The driver said in a serious tone.
" A hundred miles of return journey. You will be back in the city before four in the evening. So are you in or not?"
" It’s not something dangerous right? I know you pay handsomely but I will not be involved in something illegal."
" I promise it’s nothing like that, there is nothing shady going on but don’t tell anyone about me just in case."
" Man, you are one weird guy but I think you are not lying to me so I will go." The driver was cautious but he knew this trip would make sure he didn’t need to go out on his night routine and could spend some time with his kids so he decided to take the chance.
With that concluded, Samuel began guiding him out if the city toward one of the highway that would take them toward the estate.
The roads were perfect which meant they could drive faster without much traffic on the road.
Not many people were aware of the massive Estate as it wasn’t really publicized in news. What’s more they lived outside the city at the middle of the forest other than some nature enthusiasts not many people would purposefully look in their direction.
But with the advent of digital maps that was slowly changing which no one had control over. They could only ask those people to mark the area as private property and a no fly zone for anyone that stumbled upon it by chance.
Th drive took almost one and half hour before they reached the back of the forest. There was no sign or anything but Samuel asked to be dropped in the middle of no where which surprised the driver.
" Are you sure this is the place? I mean, there is nothing here?"
" I am sure. Here, take this. Don’t look at it just go to your local bank tomorrow. Thank you, I am sorry for this long trip." Samuel handed him something before getting out of the taxi.
The driver was surprised seeing several long bills but there was also a piece of paper folded that puzzled him the most.
He looked up wanting to find Samuel but he was already gone like he vanished in the woods. He didn’t even hear his door shut and there was no way anyone would be fast enough to run such distance in few seconds.
With trembling hands he opened the piece of paper and it was a check with a large amount of money named to him. The whole piece of paper was soft like silk but there were intricate pattern that looked ancient and medieval, something he couldn’t understand.
He got out of the car and started to look around but there was nothing as far as he looked, not even a car passing by. He didn’t have any other choice but to get into the car and ponder over what just happened.
If the check was real, the money was enough to change his life but itr seemed to good to be true. He also started to doubt if the handsome was even real, after all no one should look so perfect and yet claim themselves to be a human.
He waited for few more minutes before deciding to go home. For now what mattered most was his kids, where what happened today was real was something he would think about the next day.
The following day, he was recieved as a VIP guest when he showed them the check. The process was extremely fast and he got the money with any hassle. They didn’t even as for usual detail or questioned him about the validity of the check.

He never experienced such a smooth visit to the bank before. Before he knew it he was richer than he ever imagined with lot of money in his account. The bank took cre of everything and opened up a new one for him along with lots of privileges which would help him in the long run.

He was led out and they even asked him if he would like a ride back home but he declined. He had his trusted taxi. As soon as he got inside his car he was overwhelmed with all sort of emotions.
Not knowing what he did to deserve such a thing, he only hoped to meet the young man again and thank him in person and ask why he chose him and not say anything.
Nonetheless, he was grateful and would tell his family about the encounter but it was hard for anyone to believe it. Such things only happened in movies not in real life!
