Jerry had to run errands for his sickly aunt. The first task was to pick up the goods already packed for him at the grocery store. So he used Uber to get a ride downtown. Traffic was getting increasingly worse over the afternoon, and Jerry kept wondering what the cause could be for his cozy hometown to be overflowing with visitors.
"All these people...I wonder why they're in town," thought Jerry. The traffic would have made perfect sense, however, had Jerry known that a group of hackers covertly convening in an empty storefront nearby were manipulating traffic signals, so as to slow traffic down so they could intercept personal information from drivers' electronic devices.
"What a clown act", the cab driver mumbled to himself, "these morons are really pulling it through. Couldn't even have waited till the weekend"; "Excuse me?", Jerry inquired, "Who is pulling what through?"
It was at that very instant when a gargantuan explosion could be heard from the distance - the driver only slightly raised his eyebrows at that.
No love for this story? Alright, it's back to the drawing board for me then. -_-

It was at that very instant when a gargantuan explosion could be heard from the distance - the driver only slightly raised his eyebrows at that. Why?-- he was overwhelmed with apprehension at the sociopathic mentality behind the explosion.

He brought the cab to a halt in the middle of the congested road and, with an indecipherable expression on his pale face, exited the driver's cabin.

Left alone in the back of the car, Jerry grew increasingly uncomfortable - his cellphone rang, it was his aunt.

'That's it ... no point in waiting any longer', Jerry thought, 'but hey, at least that guy drove me halfway to the store for free!' Anticipating the worst, he stepped out of the car as well.
