Virtual Dispatch

With each passing mile the road becomes more familiar. Hard to resist that kind of draw. Especially, when there are so many roads, to become familiar with. 1courier downshifts, changes the lane and then floors the accelerator pedal. The ride responds in kind, and the road races to become horizon.

The day was long and the miles many. The best kind of day. Having just finished the final run of his sidehustle he is ready for some down time. On the other hand, it might be good to get a head start on tomorrow’s work, today. Nothing like a head start, to get a day off to a good start.

Tales of the Courier

With this in mind, he thinks about HQ. It has been some time since they have been in contact. The sidehustle work has kept him off the grid. In fact the sidehustle work was also, off the grid. Furthermore, it was a different experience than working with HQ. For one thing there is no m-com link.

1courier watches the road race under the wheels. On the one hand, it is good to have a break from the crazy alerts of the m-com link. On the other hand he kind of missed the constant flashing. A pothole appears directly in front of the ride. 1courier swears loudly, and pulls the wheel hard.

The ride responds immediately, breaking hard to the left. 1courier pulls hard on the wheel trying to regain control of the ride. He hears the cargo in the back seat trying to break free of its restraints. That was the last thing he needed at the moment. This was not typical cargo.

Furthermore, the cargo was his pay from the sidehustle work. Therefore, it wasn’t altogether, above board. 1courier grins, as he downshifts again, and pushes the ride for all it’s worth. There would be time later to give the cargo the once over. For now he needs to stay focused. The stakes are high.

Cargo inspector

Checking the surrounding area, as well as behind the ride, he knows he must be extra careful now. He is nearing the city. There is a drop-off location for this cargo. His own drop-off location. However, there are additional facts to think about now.

One of them, the city cargo inspector, is out in full force this evening. 1courier hasn’t seen the official in quite some time. However, that was usually when the inspector would show. Furthermore, on this ride this evening, things had been unusually quiet. Until now.

1courier slams the brakes and watches as a galaxy class space ship lands in the road ahead. The sound is near deafening. The way is completely blocked now, as the ship settles, and comes to rest, blocking the entire highway. Furthermore, the cargo inspector is now present, on the road behind 1courier. He grins, now things are more like normal.
