The Arrival (Haven)

For nearly ten minutes Nada had been waiting for a cab, beyond pissed that in a city known for it multiple forms of transportation she could get one Cab to stop for her. The worse part was she knew why they weren't. She looked like a homeless woman.

In her salvation army jacket, dirty jeans, and duct taped boots, she looked like she'd just crawled out of the nearest alley. Not that she cared. It was far easier to be ignored, than it was to be acknowledged and with her little gift working the way it did. She vastly preferred it that way. But not today, she'd been stuck in Tribeca all day trying to get a read on a new murder case, without finding so much as a decent piece of evidence.

well that wasn't true she'd found several, but none of it was what she had been looking for. She shortly before going back to whatever shelter was current;y home, she'd have to stop by a couple if precinct first. How she looked forward to that, but at least if they locked her up it would 24 hours in a room with a roof, heating and a vending machine. Which was more than she could say for some of the places she'd stayed before.

Still the prospect of an actual room to sleep in didn't deter her from her goal of getting a cab. Which incited her next action. in a huff she walked right into traffic and stopping right front of a on coming cab. Abruptly the car slammed on it's breaks jerking to a halt before it began to rudely honk at her. Reaching into her pocket pulled out a fifty slamming it down on the hood of the car.

Once the honking stopped and she knew she had the drivers undivided attention she walked around the car to the drivers side. Keeping the fifty tightly in her hand. "You pick me up and this plus whatever the fair is from here on is yours. We good?" she asked. Nodding the Cabbie reached for the bill only to have Nada pull it way.

"After I get where I'm going." she stated, moving to the rear passenger door. Opening it and stepping in, noticing the woman already sitting back there far too late to walk away now. She'd waited ten minutes and would probably be gone in less. This Woman could suffer through Nada's company until then. She thought as she slid in and shut the door.
