Sneak Preview :: Chapter Two (Snippet 10)
Dodging late afternoon traffic on Lavelle Road, Sanya’s cab swung right into Grant Road, a tony neighborhood in the Central Business District. As she looked up, a familiar sight greeted her – the towering UB City skyscraper – on her right. Pausing to let a gray BMW sedan pass in the opposite direction, the cab cut across the road to enter the mall complex and approached the glassed entrance.
The cab driver had just begun to lean across the window to converse with the security guard when a flash of green in front of the car caught Sanya’s eye. It was Tej’s Chevrolet! The dent in the rear bumper was unmistakable. Before she could react, the fast-moving hatchback had disappeared around the rear end of the mall complex. What was Tej doing here at this time? Furrowing her brows, she barked an order to the cab driver to follow the hatchback. The cab circled the complex to reach the entry ramp of the parking lot in the cellar.
Paying the cab driver, Sanya ran down the spiraling ramp with more than the usual abandon, her mind racing. Level -2 would always be sparsely occupied at this time and that was where Tej would have parked his car. Easing into a light jog, she looked around swiftly across the expanse of Level -2. The Chevrolet was nowhere in sight. Time was of essence. Tej could wait. Sanya turned and headed towards the bank of elevators towards the north end of the parking area. She had a lot of questions for Anuj. Questions he had not answered two years back.
