Lucian drove the car back to his home. It felt like such a long time since he had last seen them that he was certain he would see them again. At the time the changes started to appear, he would have to protect the very few people he still cared about.
While returning, he decided to change his car, so he took a small break right outside a car shop. He parked Karen's husband's car there and walked inside.
The whole process of buying was easy, and soon after he made a payment he drove out with a brand-new car much more expensive than his previous one.
"Echo, message that couple to pick up their car. I am sure they must have learned their lesson by now," Lucian spoke.
(Alright, I'm on it.)
As a treat for the new car, Lucian brought a few things back as a celebration.
Lucian enjoyed driving his new car; it turned heads on the road and made people stare at it with dreamy gazes, but soon such things would be the farthest from their worries.
