Zoe's BytePhone buzzed, dragging her attention away from the window.
The name "Driverprise Rentals" flashed on the screen.
She sighed, picked up, and listened to the overly-cheerful voice on the other end.
The rental agent informed her that Allcrash-Adjacent Insurance had finally authorized a rental for her.
Zoe clenched her jaw, trying to keep her irritation in check. 'About time they sorted it out,' she thought.
They'd left her hanging long enough, and if she heard one more cheerful apology, she was going to scream.
"You can pick it up, or we can send someone to get you," the agent chirped.
Zoe glanced up, catching sight of the Driverprise lot flashing by outside Mina's window. "Actually, I'm right by you now. I'll be there in a minute."
She nudged Mina, who was driving. "Turn around. Driverprise just sorted out my rental."
Mina nodded, her lips twitching into a grin as she made a left on Patchen.
