Searcher

by

Searcher knew nothing about the man he was driving when the long journey started, and knew to let the passenger start or not start a conversation. He was relieved when as soon as they were out of the city the silence was broken, making the sparsely starred evening somehow less dark. ' I need to get these papers examined at the cottage.' his client said., waving an envelope. Couldn't he have just faxed them?' 'I could have just faxed them over but..' He looked at the lights in the valley. 'Beautiful night..' 'It is isn't it?' 'Been doing this long?'

    Wow Christopher. That might take some time...

    Great that you’re back on Drablr though. Been missing my Alabama ally!

    Thanks, Neville. I didn't mean to pull a Drew on you. Time just seemed to slip away from me.
