Kit Daemon. Chapter 13. (Veronica was seated at an open-air restaurant...)

[Kitosdad]

Veronica was seated at an open-air restaurant drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette.She knew it would be better to give Al a wide berth for a few hours, to allow him time to cool down. She thought of how smart Kit had been in duping them both, and the way in which he had shaken off the following Hillman Imp.

Recalling the story that the driver had told them she jumped to her feet, and after paying her bill, she hailed a passing taxi. She gave the driver specific instructions as to which route he should take, and after passing through the traffic light that had caused the Imp driver to lose sight of Kit, she told him to drive very slowly.

She glanced at every opening that the cab passed, and suddenly she spotted it..... the abandoned car that Kit had been driving. She paid the taxi off and walked into the alley.

Nearby were a group of men enjoying a smoke-break from their work. She approached them and asked if they knew who the " abandoned "car belonged to. One of the men recalled having seen a man climb out of it, and he had been puzzled as to why he had transferred into a black mini that was already parked there.
Veronica thanked him and walked slowly back to the main street. Now she knew just how Kit had managed to fool the Imp driver.

A mini, she thought. Now just where could Kit have hired a mini from? She shouldn't have too much trouble finding out, because he would have had to have shown his driving licence. A few telephone calls would soon discover just where the bold Kit might be.

She decided to keep this information to herself. Big Al wasn't the only one with brains around these parts..................

Kitos.
