“Are we going to fly over the city again?” he asked, shifting closer to the window.

“Definitely.”

Ezra smiled.

Silverstein brought the RV around in the garage waiting for the garage door to open automatically. We ambled out into the driveway clumsily at first, then shot across the grounds just barely clearing the wall. I buckled my seatbelt.

“You can pilot this thing, yes?” Ezra said nervously.

“Got away from me there for a moment. I get the sense that this thing isn’t fitted with factory navigation or propulsion systems. Someone’s modified it for speed, among other things,” Silverstein replied, pressing several buttons on a panel above him.

He brought the RV about and headed for the heart of uptown. A gasp escaped Ezra’s lips as we soured over the glittering city, framed on one side by the ocean, standing in stark contrast to the shadow it cast down below. It was as easy to see uptown as it was downtown from this vantage, and everything in between.

Looking down at the monitor, I could see we were on a route the vehicle had followed many times before. We were heading toward the tallest and brightest buildings in uptown Port Montaigne. What business this RV could have had in such a place? I hoped I wouldn’t regret finding out.

At length, the RV approached a large banking building and came to rest on a private landing platform that overlooked the financial district. The winds were fierce as we stepped out on the platform. Dodging the landing lights, we made our way to the stairs. My windswept reflection looked back at me in the glass that covered all but a few portions of the massive tower.

From the walkway a hallway led to what appeared to be a lobby of some kind. Everything was white or cream colored in here, including the standing desk within. Our steps clicked on the lavishly tiled floor as we walked past the empty desk to a set of double doors.

Silverstein pushed them open and stepped into a maze of cubicles, all of which were festooned with sticky notes, photos, and calendars with puppies, kittens, or other cuteness. The massive room which encompassed most of the floor was noisy with chatter as bank representatives talked to customers. None of the fifty people on this floor gave us a glance. Ezra and I were blessedly too short for most to see unless they stood up.
