In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Winter rain continued to fall. Jessica wrapped herself tightly in her coat, sitting in the car.

She had been drinking heavily for several days, but today she abstained. It was a rare moment of sobriety.

"We're being followed! Is it the cops?"

The driver turned the steering wheel. "I'll shake them off."

He was skilled, but the other party was equally skilled. After several rounds, the driver still couldn't shake off the pursuer. Instead, they were overtaken. The other car blocked their way horizontally, forcing them to come to a halt.

The driver's heart sank.
