Chapter 1- Strange Passenger

Another cold midnight I thought as I looked at the temperature, it's killing me. I was driving on the Basilone road with a speed 70 miles per hour I wonder when will the sun rise again I stretch my muscle a bit and yawned, its been a long night.

Just when I was planning to go back home and enjoy a nice warm bath, someone raised his hands to ask for my service how surprise, I said to myself a extra ride!

I stopped my car with a sudden break, as I turned to the man who raised his hand, but I cannot see his face, his face was blocked by his cap, and he was wearing a mask. The man said “ Newark Liberty International Airport , quick.” He ordered “ I will be late.”

I shrugged a bit, as I walked down my car and shivered “ So cold,” I mumbled “ What a night.”

The man didn't seem to be please, he said, pointing to his luggage “ Here, two luggage, put them into the boot.”

I shot a glance at him, and finally controlled myself he is a passenger, I warn myself behave!

I looked at his luggage under the weak sunlight, it's really... big. I said “ Sir, I wonder if I can put all these into the boot!”

The man shrugged, “ I don't care, or you can just put it into the back seat.

I sighed silently, what an unpleasant ride I sighed to myself, Hope it wont last long.

As the man sat into the front seat, I set my GBS to New York Airport, I looked at the luggage from my rear view mirror, they seemed too big for a man himself to use even for ten days!

I asked “ Sir, how long have you come to New York?”

The man snorted “ Will that effect the speed and time of my ride?”

I snorted as well, how rude was he!

The man said “Besides, I tell you to give me a quick ride, not a chatting ride, don't I?”

I narrowed my eyes to him, as I drove my car to the speed of 85 miles per hour, the man nodded in a more pleasant way “ Much better.”

I looked at the man carefully and try to find something strange on him, no, same old man we will see on street, except his worst manner.

I said , trying to find a way to make him talk more “ When did you come to New York?”

The man seemed annoyed by my endless talk “ one week ago”

My eyes lit up of hope as I heard that, yes, strange, he wont need to use so much luggage if he only came for a week.

I said “ Sir, why do you have so much luggage?”

The man seemed caution by my question “ That’s not inside your job, right? Besides, I think I need a rest.”

I peeked at him, really, his acts strange, and refuse to talk about the luggage, he brought, who can he be? I looked back to the road, the ice was blocking the way, and it obviously needs more time to go to the airport.

After a long time a silent, I said “ Sir?”

The man looked up “ What now?”

I said, pointing to the front “ We are here.”

The man nodded, and said “ Go and help me pick up the luggage!”

I nodded without a work, but I curiously looked at the luggage he have brought, and with a surprise......

There are weeds in the sides of his luggage, which was spilled out.

One suggestion: Get a teacher or friend to proofread your work, especially to check the grammar. Sometimes its shakiness obscures meaning.
I like the way this story is going

Nice work here. You kept me interested in the mysterious man.
I liked it.

Good work!
you haave a little typo, for its called a 'GPS' not a 'GBS', and also, driving 95 miles an hour in new york is kind of unrealistic, as thats too fast... and the cab driver asking why he had such a big bag was a little direct, so I would take that out and just keep his suspissions to himself. If you just fix those up the story will be even more awesome then it already is! I enjoyed it and will be defaintly reading the next chapter.

Grins.... nobody would ever ask to go to 'New York Airport' ... NY has 3 main airports... You need to do a bit of research to make detail appear authentic..

I like the story. You gave enough detail to hold my attention. I like how you controlled the story with little conversation. A excellent first chapter. I look forward to reading more.
