THE RED SUV

He says, "damn Donny what car was it meant to be." Donny replies, holding onto a black duffel bag, "a red SUV is what we are looking for." He says, "damn these duffels are heavy as hell for ten grand each." Donny replies, "shut up and stop crying, can you see the SUV yet." He says, "no I can't but there are many cars in this car park."

Moments later, Donny hears, "hey Donny I spotted the SUV it is at three o'clock, so we just dump the bags in and that is it." Donny replies, "I see the SUV, no man we throw in the two bags with the cash and the black book." He says, "alright, I got it now, lets throw them into this SUV it should be unlocked."

They open the rear of the SUV and throw in the black duffel bags, and little black book. Peter, finishes his errands, and heads to the car park to get into his car. He takes a call, "Peter speaking." He hears, "hello Peter, it is Fred calling from service in regards to your informed problem of a not working boot release, is that correct?"

Peter replies yes, my boot is not working and I thought it would be under warranty." The service man answers, "no Peter I see here your warranty expired just last month." Peter says, "damn it has been three years already." The service man mentions, "I believe so, if you want to bring the car in we can have a look at it for the quoted price I have now with me, which would be two and a half thousand dollars." Peter replies, "two and a half thousand dollars." The serviceman says, 'yes sir." Peter says, "okay when can I bring it in." The serviceman replies, "bring it in today, leave it over night, and you will have it back by tomorrow."

Peter says, "thanks a lot, I did not get your name." The serviceman replies, "Tony." Peter says, "well thanks Tony, I will bring the cash with me as well as the car this afternoon." Peter hangs up the phone. Peter jumps into his car, and leaves the carpark. He drives twenty minutes and pulls into the service station for fuel.

He fills up a full tank, and heads inside to pay. Peter says, "pump with the SUV thanks." The vendor says, "any chocolates, lollies or sweets with that sir." Peter replies, "no I am fine thank you." The vendor takes Peters cash for the payment of fuel, and Peter enters his car and drives off.

Peter arrives to the school, and is looking for his daughter out of the hundreds of kids in the same colour school uniform. He spots her and waves, but goes unnoticed, so he honks the horn a few times, and she sees Peter. Peter jumps out of the car and opens the passenger door, as his daughter arrives. Peter says, "how was your day sweetheart." Peters daughter says, "good Dad." They both enter the car, and Peter says, "now with out our mother, we will need to catch a taxi home."

The daughter replies, "why so Daddy." Peter remarks, "my boot lid is not shutting properly and sometimes is left unlocked without me unlocking it, and the car place says they need the car tonight so that I can have it back by tomorrow after they fix it."

Peter arrives to the car dealership, and enters. Peter speaks, "hello there, I have my car booked in for repairs, and I am looking for Tony please." The receptionist says, "one moment sir I will call Tony now." Peter overhears, "hello Tony, a gentleman with a booking is in the front for you." The receptionist says, "can I offer you tea or coffee sir, Tony will be here shortly." Peter replies, "how much is it going to set me back." The receptionist says, "it is free to customers sir." Peter replies, "oh really, I may just have a long black coffee thanks."

A man approaches and says, "you must be the unlockable rear boot lid." Peter replies, "yes Peter I am we spoke on the phone earlier." Tony says, "hello little girl." He turns to Peter and says, "yes the boot release issue we discussed, well bring the car round the side drive way and I'll meet you there."

Peter and his daughter jump into Peters car, and Peter drives down the side driveway of the dealership and to the repairs bay. Peter says, "is that close enough." As Tony navigates Peter to parking the car in a tight car space wedged between two cars. Tony says, "you have three meters still to go behind you." Peter remarks, "right, I am reversing now."

He parks the car properly and in position as requested. Tony arranges for a taxi, and Peter and his daughter drive away. Tony hears, "Yo Tone what we doing with the SUV." Tony replies, "I am giving it to the new fresh face we have starting for us tomorrow to look at, some boot problem, easy as eating pie it should be." Tony hears, "rock on, so I guess Danny is doing it." Tony says, "that'd be him." Danny enters the repair shop, and Tony says, "where have you been." Danny replies, "had to do a number two, had spicy tacos for lunch." Tony says, "over at paradise centre."

Danny remarks, "yeah the taco shop there." Tony remarks, "I have a job for you, that red SUV parked over there, a rear boot issue it unlocks randomly can I have you look at it." Danny says, "what now, we are closing up." Tony replies, "no tomorrow, first thing." Danny says, "of course Tony, consider it done." The following day arrives and Danny arrives to the repair bay and grabs the keys for the red SUV from the key hook and unlocks the car, he opens the boot of Peters SUV and notices the two duffel bags and a little black book.

Out of curiosity Danny opens the black book, seeing nothing but figures, large figures, which has him thinking what could be in the two black duffel bags. He looks around, and no one is looking, he opens the black duffel bag and notices cash, and lots of it. Danny opens the second bag, more cash and estimates the value to be at least twenty thousand dollars.

Danny closes the rear of the red SUV and drives his car close to Peters SUV, and dumps the two bags of cash into his trunk. Danny next reports to his boss Tony, that he is feeling unwell. Tony gives Danny the day off. Peter arrives to the dealership as requested later that afternoon and picks up his red SUV with a working boot.
