Chapter 24: Visit Whispering Alley
In this small town, there are only taxis for public transport, and they only operate in limited hours, from 6 am to 10 pm.
It was past 6 pm when Iris left Daisy’s shop. Iris didn’t have much time, only a few hours to go to the arms shop and return to her house. She would be in trouble if she couldn’t take a taxi home.
Iris was lucky; when leaving Daisy’s shop, a taxi passed by. She immediately stopped the Taxi.
"Good night, young miss..." the fat driver greeted Iris in a friendly manner. "Where are you going, miss?" he asked.
"Hello, sir, Whispering Alley, please," Iris said as she closed the car door. However, the car did not move, which made her confused. She looked at the driver, "Sir, you can drive now," she said, feeling puzzled that he was just staring at her.
"Miss, are you sure you want to go to that area? And to go there alone?" The driver finally asked.
"Yes. Sir, can you go hurry now? I don’t have much time," she said impatiently.
"Miss, I’m sorry to ask again, but are you sure you want to go to Whispering Alley alone?" He asked with a genuine worry on his tone and his face.
Iris frowned, silently taking a deep sigh. She nodded, confirming that she would go there alone. She didn’t bother to answer him, but her sharp gaze was enough to tell the driver to stop asking and just drive her there.
