His comment and nonchalant attitude made Eliza squirm, she literally bit her tongue and as climbed into her<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fb2%2Fb7%2Ff4%2Fb2b7f4ec6e80f7d1df275abc18e34135.jpg&amp;hash=7f73c0de9516be000cd610a386eb878b" href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/b7/f4/b2b7f4ec6e80f7d1df275abc18e34135.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">pride and joy</a>car, she began counting to ten,<i>1...2....3....4.....5....ok I'm good</i>, she gestured to Mark,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">"Welcome to Jet, he's my baby</span>", she'd spent a lot of money repairing her car, and hours in shop getting it regularly tested. She started the engine once his seat belt was on and turned out of the marina and drove through the town, the car was silent, and after a couple of attempts of chit chat, she turned the radio on leaving the volume low.<br/><br/>Eliza knew what should normally take like twenty minutes, was likely to be more like forty now, she barely managed to get into third gear when she was slowed by traffic on the highway, and onto the 1-5 express. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">We may be some time, are you mute on me now?</span>", she asked him with a smirk. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">Any car conversation to stop the driver going insane is off record"</span>, she added with a small giggle.<br/><br/>The car ride seemed to drag, they passed capitol hill after fifteen minutes, and the DJ's on the radio were talking about a crash near Pike Place Market that was causing traffic to divert this route, she sighed and turned the radio to another station with rock music, she mind was thinking of things to say that wouldn't lead to story worthy information finally she gave it up,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">"You haven't been on the field since your injury?"</span>, she asked him.<br/><br/>The rest of the journey Eliza remained silent, she kept her eyes on the road, and thought about how to best tackle the hostile jock sitting with her, hoping he'd soften once on the field, but she doubted it greatly. She finally pulled into the car park opposite the stadium, and once he got out the car, she locked it, and tapped the hood, a little ritual she had. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">We are to take the VIP entrance"</span>, she told him, knowing he knew the stadium far better than her she followed his lead. When they reached the doors, she presented her reporters badge and ID, and they were ushered inside,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4da6ff">"You have full reign of the stadium and you are the only ones here beside us guards, so need anything we will be here",</span>an older guard said winking at Eliza, she smiled and nodded to Mark,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">"You're up Windham".</span>
