The sudden movement jolted Lila, but she quickly stabilized herself before looking up. She saw someone dressed all in black, with a black cap and mask.

It was Pierre. The only visible part was his eyes, fixed intently on Lila in the passenger seat.

The designated driver honked the horn twice, but no one moved.

The driver muttered something to Pierre, and his expression turned furious.

He made a move, but Pierre was faster, shoving him aside. Then, Pierre quickly climbed into the driver's seat.

Lila's nerves tightened as she reached for her seatbelt, preparing to exit the car.
