Chapter 11

Ethan reached into his wallet and slid out both his license and credit card, pinching them between thumb and forefinger. He extended his arm across the counter, placing the cards directly onto the laminate surface in front of the rental agent. The young woman behind the desk, her hair pulled into a tight ponytail, picked up each card in turn. She held the license up to the screen’s glow, eyes flicking between the photo and his face for a moment, then set it down and repeated the process with the credit card. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, then began to type in short, uneven bursts. With every press, the plastic keys made sharp, distinct clicks that seemed to echo around the cramped office, the sound bouncing off the blank walls and the thin carpet beneath their feet.

She paused, checked the monitor, then smiled at Ethan, a practiced tilt of her lips. She scanned the details on his reservation, her index finger running down a printout beside the computer, then nodded. She slid his license and credit card back across the counter, the edges scraping softly against the laminate. Ethan picked them up, tucking them back into his wallet with a practiced motion, folding the wallet closed with a snap and sliding it into his back pocket.

She asked him about insurance coverage—her tone flat, businesslike. Ethan shook his head, answering with a short “No, I’ll use my own.” She typed again, glancing at the screen, then asked about mileage limits. He replied, “Unlimited, right?” She nodded, confirming with a line of text on her screen, and he gave a quick, “Perfect.” She clicked through a few more windows, then printed out a rental agreement. The paper slid from the printer, and she handed it to him, pointing at the signature line. He took the pen she offered, signed his name, and handed the form back.

The agent stood, gesturing for him to follow. She walked ahead with brisk steps, her flats silent on the thin carpet, and led him through a side door. They stepped outside into a narrow passageway that opened onto the back lot. The sunlight was bright and direct, casting sharp shadows across the row of vehicles. Ethan squinted, blinking as his eyes adjusted. The agent pointed out the row reserved for midsize SUVs, then left him with a polite, “Let us know if you need anything else.”

Ethan walked along the line of vehicles, each one parked with its nose to the curb. He passed a silver sedan, a white crossover, then stopped in front of a dark blue midsize SUV. The paint gleamed in the sun, reflecting the pale blue sky and the faint outline of clouds overhead. He circled the vehicle slowly, eyes scanning the body for any obvious dents or scratches. He crouched, running his palm along the lower edge of the passenger door, checking for chips in the finish. He straightened, squinting at the hood and roof, then moved to the rear bumper. Satisfied, he stood up and pulled open the driver’s door.
