BLACK COFFEE (Daredevil Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

"Are you going to pack today or sit on your laptop for another hour?" Matt asked from the other side of the room

"Yeah, just five more minutes"

"You said that an hour ago.  What are you doing over there?"

"I'm making a CD for the car.  Dude, we can't go on a road trip and not have a CD playing in the car.  Eighties power ballads are the best kind.  A bit of Queen, a bit of Starship"

"Starship?" Matt replied with raised eyebrows.  "Who are Starship?"

"Did you actually just say who are Starship? Foggy rolled his eyes and shook his head.  "Dude, where have you been?"

"I didn't get to grow up with CD's and music Foggy.  I'm sort of playing catch up here, I prefer the nineties"

"Man, you are going to love this.  The eighties were made for the car."  The laptop pinged. "Finally it's ready, I'll start packing now."

"You never said you had a driving license before. When did you do your test?  What was it like?"

"Well, I em, I've never really," he stuttered "how do I put this?"

"Foggy"

"Okay, don't freak out but I never actually did a proper driving test"

Matt stopped folding his shirts and looked up over the rim of his glasses. "Say that again, slowly" he said.  "Are you telling me you don't actually have a license to drive a car"

"No, no" Foggy replied, "I have a license" he paused and he scratched the back of his head in a nervous manner. "I just never actually, I never did an actual driving test"

Matt sat down at the edge of his bed, "explain that to me"

"Well" Foggy started, sitting opposite his friend.  "My Uncle Bobby was the local driving instructor so he gave us all free lessons.   If he was happy enough he filled out the test sheet there and then"

"So do all of your family get their licenses this way?"

"No, not all of them, my sister didn't.  He thought she was a bit crazy behind the wheel so he failed her.  My mom was so pissed.  She rang Bobby straight away and said he failed her because she was a girl"

"Foggy, that is so wrong"

"I know, she was a good driver too"

"No, that is so wrong what you did" Matt said rubbing his fingers across his forehead

"We were helping the man out, he had to reach his target.  If we needed a license we asked Uncle Bob, he would reach his target and get his yearly bonus.  It was a win win situation"

"But you have driven a car right?"

"Oh yeah, been driving around the neighbourhood since I was fifteen.  Trust me it will be fine"

Matt couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Foggy that is so wrong" he repeated.  "Have you forgotten you are training to be a lawyer"

"Hey I was never meant to be a lawyer remember I was going to be a butcher.  I would never allow it now" he smiled

"You're a terrible liar"

"Shit! Maybe I didn't pick the right career after all" he laughed

"So where are we getting the car from? Or should I even ask"

"Em maybe not, my brother is arranging it all"

"Just promise me it will be taxed and insured"

"That I can promise, but hey you wont know either way" he teased
