Chapter ten: Finally! Esthar!

(Dylan POV)             

"The train will arrive in Esthar in five minutes."

"The train will arrive in Esthar in five minutes."

I slowly opened my eyes and the morning sun greeted my eyes in a somewhat soft and soothing manner.

I saw Angeline sleeping peacefully on the couch. Gerard was sleeping like a big brute, snoring and cussing in his sleep in another couch.

I got up from my seat that was adjacent to the couch where Angeline was sleeping on and strode over to the door.

I exited our train compartment and exercised my limbs by walking through the hallway.

Looking out through the window to my right, I saw at a distance a tall structure.

 Must be Esthar's train station. I thought as I fully stretched my tall frame.

I slowly paced down the silent and deserted hallway when suddenly the train came to halt, throwing me face forward on the floor.

"We are now in Esthar train station"

"We are now in Esthar train station"

"Damn." I silently cursed as I got up. Angeline poked her head out the door of our compartment and looked around. My fall made a loud "thud" sound. She must have been awakened by my fall.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, stupid train announcer. They ought to announce earlier that we're gonna stop and not after we've stopped." 

Suddenly the train doors opened.

"Guess we have to get down now." I frowned, why did the train stop just when I was starting to like it?

I went back inside our compartment and threw a glass of water on the big brute's face who was still sleeping soundly on the couch.

Angeline, Gerard and I got off the train and we headed towards the car rent station.

Our eyes were greeted with a variety of cars. The renting station had delivery trucks, sports cars, vans, pick-ups, and… you name it!

"Whoa! They sure have a lot of cars in their garage." An excited Gerard ejaculated as he ran towards the cars, examining each with such vividness.

"So… which one?" Angeline asked, from the look on her face I can tell that she's giving me the you-boys-do-the-picking look.

I made my way over to the garage. My eyes were attracted to three cars at once. I saw a blue Ferrari with white and black flame patterns on its side. To it's left was a white Shelby GT 500 and next to it was a black Jaguar. I whistled at the sight of these cars. But the fat lady (who kinda resembles a bull frog for me) who was the one in charge of the renting station, mistook my whistle for admiration to the cars for a whistle of admiration to her.

Sheesh! She's now sticking like glue to me. I looked at Angeline for help but she just turned away and giggled! Gerard was of no use since he was busy drooling over a limo. Some friends they are…

"Hi sugar, which car do you want?" The fat frog faced lady advanced toward me in a seductive manner.

As if I'm interested with someone who looks like she was a cross breed between a frog and a pig. I thought as I backed away from her seductive advances.

"Uhhh… which car would be the most suitable to carry a lot of load?" I stammered. Great! She's trying to put her hand on mine!

"Well darling, I would say it would be this macho and handsome pick-up would be the most suitable for a… (She paused as she looked at me in a seductive manner from head to toe) handsome, macho and sexy man like you…" she smiled at me as she pointed to a red Ford F-350.

"………How much?" I managed to say before my mind screamed and I felt like puking.

"Special for you honey. Only 2500." She said with a wink and a flying kiss.

I hurriedly filled out the rental form and coughed up the gil.

"Gerard! Stop drooling over the limo and get your butt over here and start driving!" I barked out, I was desperate to get out of the place. The fat lady was still staring at me.

"She likes you, you should thank her for the discount." Angeline managed to say these words before falling into a terrible laughing curse.

I glared at her as if I was gonna bite her head off. After what seemed to me like a lifetime, Gerard finally gave up drooling over the cars and started driving to Esthar.

"Step on it, we only have four more hours before delivery time is due." Angeline said as she pointed at her watch.

"Aye aye matey!"

Gerard stepped on it but the car still seemed slow for me. I guess I'm starting to develop a racing demon in me. I leaned forward to check out what was on the front window. In the corner of my eye, I saw a button that had words written on it. It was a button found near the stereo set, I read the words out loud: GO baby GO!

Huh? What's that supposed to mean? Oh well what the heck! I thought as I pushed the button.

Suddenly the car zoomed to Esthar. Throwing me forward, thank Hyne I had my seatbelt on. After what seemed like a few seconds, we were in Esthar.

 "What…?" Angeline said as she looked at me.

I just shrugged because my eyes caught sight of the city and was too dumbfounded to talk.
