Thank God for AAA Who: Colin and Tony What: An unforeseen breakdown and a chance meeting When: August 26th, Tuesday afternoon Where: On the road Warning: None
Colin didn't use a driver during the week. He preferred to drive himself, often using rental cars so the paparazzi bothered his clients less. While being well known was good for his budding political career, the nature of his work required him to drive all over the area and not make a big show of it. Today he was returning from visiting an out of town client when his car broke down. He barely got it to the side of the road before the engine completely stalled out. A couple of attempts to get it to turn over were absolutely futile. Pulling out his phone, he used the AAA app and was informed there'd be a tow truck on the way soon.
It was far too warm for him in the car, so Colin put on his sunglasses and walked around the car to the passenger side to lean on it while he waited. He texted Elise to let her know he was having car trouble and would be most likely be running late. Hopefully they wouldn't be too late for the dinner party they were supposed to attend that evening.
