Chapter12
Nina was up and at the breakfast table shortly after sunrise, but the dining room was nearly deserted. She grabbed some fruit and a couple bottles of orange juice out of the refrigerator. Her heels clicked on the marble floors as she made her way out the door.
There was a sleek, coal black car sitting in the turnabout driveway in front of the door. She recognized the mechanic instantly, though she couldn’t remember his name.
“Your car, Señora,” he said, handing her the keys with a huge grin on his face.
“What is this?”
“Audi A8L, security addition.”
“It looks like a regular car.”
His smile widened.
“Oh, but this car can withstand machine gun fire and a hand grenade.”
“I don’t plan on throwing either of those things at my car,” she said.
The mechanic’s smile slid off his face and he stared at her for a minute before her meaning dawned on him.
“Very funny.”
He motioned to her to hand her phone over and she complied before she thought about it. She watched him intently as he waited patiently for the ten seconds it took to download an app, then pointed it at the car and programed it. When he tapped the screen and the engine roared to life, he smiled triumphantly.
“It’s the only model with remote start,” he said. “And, this button right here summons the car.”
“Summons it?”
“Yep. Hit the button and make sure your GPS is on, and the car will pull right up to where you are.”
“That’s insane.”
“It’s only standard on this model, but the auto summons is supposed to be released as an option over the next couple years.”
“This is an amazing car.”
“And it’s all yours. You have a good day. And be careful; the engine is very powerful.”
She got in, setting her laptop and phone on the passenger seat and closing the door. When the door sealed, everything went silent, and she realized that the yard had been filled with the buzzing of insects in the trees, and birds calling to each other as the world awakened. The silence in the car was deafening. While she’d become accustomed to the relative silence in the cabin of luxury cars, this was far more profound.
She had no doubt that withstanding hand grenades and automatic weaponry was just the tip of the iceberg.
She eased the car onto Bayshore Lane and headed north, deciding to stop at the gas station first thing to see if her theory was right. If the bulk of the traffic was going north this morning, then the gas station should be extremely busy, which would give her a chance to see the property in action.
It would take a little longer to go through the new software with their cash office clerk since they also took care of customers at the gas station, but she was willing to take that chance. Seeing the business running at capacity might give her a better feel for the business as a whole, and once she had everyone working through the new system, she would be able to generate reports that Alex could use to streamline his business.
