As Jaffery said this, his eyes were opening and closing uncontrollably. He was now safe inside the car and the pressure that he was through because of fighting the corrupted beasts was now no more, so his body was surrendering to the resting found. Jaffery wanted nothing but to sleep right now but he could not afford to sleep especially with his life-threatening wounds and the thought of Shamim wandering somewhere together with Victor.

"Ding!" 

A sound was heard which then reminded Jaffery that he still had a phone. 

With his trembling hands due to exhaustion, Jaffery got the phone out of his pocket. Someone seemed to have sent him an sms.

"Who might have sent me a message in the middle of the night? Is it my parents? Let me check it out." Jaffery was espectant as he switched on his phone. If it were his parents that were calling him, then he would be happy knowing that his parents still cared about him.

"What the fuck does Victor mean by sending this link to me‽" Jaffery's anger was once again rekindled. It was not his parents that had texted him as he had expected but it was Victor instead.

"But then again, how did Victor know that I am alive? Or is this just a conjecture of his? It can't be that Victor knew that I will survive the onslaught of those countless corrupted beasts, right?"

"Anyway, let me see what Victor has sent to my phone." Jaffery clicked in the link that was sent by Victor but it didn't open as expected.

"Oooh shit! I don't have data bundles to go online! This seems to be a trap but I don't need to know what that fucker has sent to me anyway." Jaffery put his phone aside but then again, another problem popped up: Jaffery didn't know how to start a vehicle let alone to drive it.

"How am I gonna make this badass to move?" Jaffery slapped his cheeks twice so that his mind could come up with a solution to his current problem but it was only making it worse as it made his already injured body to be under even more pain.

"Wait! I get it. How can I forget that I am not living under a rock back in the primeval times? This is a fucking modern time for fuck's sake!... What I only need to do is to take my phone and Google the information that I want to know. This great search engine will do the rest for me. Who said that one has to go to a driving school in order to be proficient in driving cars? Maybe if the car that I am supposed to drive is a manual transmission but if it is automated like this range rover, I don't need a driving school to drive this badass." Jaffery smiled while nodding his head as he seemed to have come to a conclusion. He caressed the driving seats of the car, then the staring wheel and imagined himself driving this badass. He thought it would really look cool. It was just that there were no girls out there who would cheer for him and then compete among themselves so that he could offer them a ride in this car.

"Anyway, this car is not mine in the first place. If the police are still on duty out there, that is if the corrupted beasts have not affected the entire city, then I will be put back to the cell for stealing someone's car. I don't have to be all glee on someone else's possession." 

Jaffery was smiling awkwardly when he remembered that he was sitting on someone else's car, not to mention that he had shoved the corpse of the owner of this car out unceremoniously.

"Let me see what this search engine says about driving a car as a first timer." Jaffery jotted down the question on his phone on the Google app but then he remembered that he didn't have data bundles.

"Fuck everything! They just want me to get out of this car to go and buy some data bundles. What if a corrupted beast ambush me while I am on the way? But I don't have a choice." Jaffery was about to open the car door to get out so that he could go and buy data bundles out there when he realized that he didn't have any money so, he ransacked on the stuffs on the dashboard until he got some few notes. It seemed these notes were the balances that the owner of the car threw them into the dashboard cup as they were no useful to them.

"I have to thank the owner for all the gifts that he has left to me." With glee Jaffery got out of the car and he slapped himself for forgetting about some important stuffs.

Apparently, Jaffery didn't need money because he could simply take anything for himself as all the denizens of this part of the city were either no where to be seen or they had already succumbed to the maws of the corrupted beasts. Secondly, Jaffery was at the CBD where there were no shops but only towering business buildings. If Jaffery wanted to buy some data bundles, he would have to walk out of the CBD so that he could find the shops, but he didn't have time, not to mention that the corrupted beasts would not just sit by and ignore Jaffery who was passing by.

"If this corrupted beast menace has really affected the whole world, then money is no longer useful. This money can't even serve as a toilet paper right now." Jaffery threw the few notes that he was holding aside and decided to think of a solution for where he was going to find the data bundles to go online.

"Fuck! They could have even allowed a few shops to run in the CBD. Why did they came up with this stupid arrangement?" Jaffery could only put the blame on the government and the business moguls who own these buildings.
