Couple minutes passed and Alissa let me know she was ready for her next client, I walked over to the woman I talked to not long ago letting her know it was her turn.

After I got them we settled into the car eating in the parking lot and once we was finished he drove out.

As we passed couple cars in the parking lot a certain car stood out to me while I examined it as the cool breeze from the open window blew on me.

Before we was side by side passing it i remembered the plate and lowered in my seat rolling the widows back up.
