Emerging From The Shadows
Hugging the exterior wall, I crept along the side of the garage where the shadows were deepest. The tall hedges provided perfect cover from anyone standing on the front porch.
When I reached the edge of the driveway, I saw the taxi driver reaching for his radio. I stepped out onto the pavement and raised my free hand high in the air.
He spotted me immediately and nodded, shifting the car into drive to pull closer to my position.
