I put out my cigarette and tossed it in the kitchen bin, then slid my jacket on and pulled up the zipper. I texted Cora that I would be back soon and left the apartment. Taking the stairs, I opened the building's front door and stepped out into the rain.
I hurried to my car and unlocked it, then stepped inside and started the engine. Damn, the rain was bad. I had only opened the door for a few seconds, and the seat was already squelching wet.
"Shit," I muttered. "The things I would do for pizza, huh?"
I eased the car forward, checking my mirror twice just in case before merging into the lane. Then I turned on my GPS and made sure I remembered Renson's place correctly—which was good because I was going the opposite way before the map loaded in. I managed to steer left just in time.
