Taylor's POV :
We run. I wonder how she could see that little emergency exit in the dark, my derbies skid on the ground for no reason. "RUN! RUN TAYLOR!' she screams breaking her voice. My lungs request for some air, I am so stressed, I feel enormous blisters emerge. I grab her hand so strongly, as if my life depends on It, I've the feeling I'll break it. There's some people in the street, I only see blur figures. I hear a door slamming so loud, I guess this door isn't working anymore. "Take them!! Don't let her go!" "No you won't!!" she desesperatly answers. As we go on in the dark. feeling that some people are approching us, headlights blind us, I see "Taxi" written on the car. We both do signs with our hands, the cab stops, the brakes are squealing, I see him wondering what's happening. "Where do you want to go ladies?" "Ask no questions! Let us come in, we were molested" she says. She opens the car door, I still grabbing her hand. "I see them coming, fire up!!", I grab now her hand with my other hand, indeed I see men running. Céline covers her face with her hand and takes the sunglasses which were lying on the seat. He does a great start. I feel like all our problems are behind us. "Who attacked you?" "Please just drive us far away from here. If you see a big black car with smoked glass and if the matriculation ends with 2M, tell me". "Alright, I stop being curious, it isn't my business". I see him looking at us many times in the interior mirror...
Céline's POV :
I think we just met the best cab ever. Run away was really the best option? What if I stayed there? Would things be easier or not? Well now it's done, I have to stop overthinking. Taylor's hand taking mine makes me feel better. Those sunglasses aren't my size but I don't care, I look like a fool, why your customer would your glasses, what if he recognize me? I see Taylor looking outside. I do the same and check her watch, it's half past three. I caress her hand with my thumb. I've the feeling that she doesn't want to look at me.
Taylor's POV :
Suddenly I've cold. I'm gonna wake up right? And her caress doesn't help, it's giving me chills. I feel like reality is knocking at my door... She gives me a little nudge, I follow her look, we can see the Eiffel Tower. "Where do you want to go exactly? Very soon there's gonna be a lot of trafic jam and I drive faster than I should". Indeed I can see cars stopping in the middle of the road, not far away from us. "Eiffel Tower would be perfect" "Alright" he says. She winks at me, and she has a mischievous smile. She is crazy? That's what she meant when she said "drive us far away"? She holds my hand faster than before and whispers in my hear "everything is gonna be alright". I stand by her side. "Here we are, isn't that a romantic place?". There's parked cars standing next to the road, he stops there. "I can't go further because traffic jam as you can see and..." "FUCK!" she screams, "What's going on?" I say, this word sends shivers down my spine. "I saw a black car which look like mine, I don't want to take risks!" "Certainly but it's also risky to stole someone's sunglasses no?" "I'm sorry, we have to go, thank you for everything, you'll be paid I promise". He didn't have the time to say something that we already started walking very fast, in the direction of the Eiffel Tower. "Where are we going, what do you have in mind?"
Céline's POV :
"Have you ever been at the Eiffel Tower?" "No Parisians people have never the time for this stuff, it's always full of tourists and it's expensive. And why come here?" "Because we don't really hide ourselves and I'm sure they think we're back at the hotel, something like that", she smiles at me, I don't know how to take it. The Eiffel Tower looks really big, the floor lamp make it even more majestic. "There's not a single soul, and it's almost 4am!" "Exactly! Perfect for the sunset!". Unexpectedly I hear the sound of machines and I see a crain moving. I saw excitement in her eyes and this noises are literally destroying it. I see guys with security helmets walking around the tower and I see them all going out of a big door, they all go away from it. I take Taylor's hand, walk in towards of the door, I try to open it. "Do you need help?" I see a guy with a orange security helmet, big security shoes, and on his jacket there's written "site manager". He looks at me, waiting for an answer but I can't find my words. "Excuse-me but you aren't allowed to enter here". He still look at us with his flashlight and it makes me unconfortable. Taylor, unconsciously hides behind me. I just wanted to say that we wanted to visit the tower but he goes ahead : "Are you the wife of the director?" "Uh...yes" " I didn't know that it would be today and so early. The renewal of the tower is faster than we planned". He take the keys and open the door, I enter. "No sorry you aren't allowed to enter", I see him blocking Taylor. "She's my assistant, she'll be very helpful believe me". He looks at her wavering and let her come. "Théo, the intern will show you the renovated part", a guy comes with us in the elevator. "Good morning, nice to meet you... and you? You are?" "Taylor... Taylor De Almeida."
