Pictures on The Wall (Part 3 of 10)
Sherry glanced over at Mark as he drove through the parking garage. He had a clean shaven face and short dark hair. If she had to guess, she'd say he was in his early thirties, maybe a year...
Sherry tapped the steering wheel of her car as she waited. The parking garage offered some reprieve to the cool winter air, but not much. She had dressed for the bitter morning, and felt rather comfortable.
She perked up when she noticed a truck approaching. Was it Mark? He said his truck was black. This one was dark blue. It drove past.
She rolled her eyes at her mistake. Mark wouldn't be able to access the parking garage without her ID card. She called the number he gave her as she walked toward the entrance.
"Mark here," he said.
"I'll meet you at the entrance," she replied. "You'll need my ID to get in."
"Sounds fancy. Okay, I'll see you soon. I'm about two minutes away."
Mark saw a young woman standing outside the parking garage as he grew closer. She looked bundled for the winter weather. He, on the other hand, had been running late in the morning and grabbed the wrong coat. Luckily, Jerry had an extra flannel in his truck for Mark to borrow.
The combination of the flannel and his spring jacket offered decent warmth.
He rolled his window down.
"Are you Sherry?" he asked.
She nodded.
"Get in."
Sherry glanced over at Mark as he drove through the parking garage. He had a clean shaven face and short dark hair. If she had to guess, she'd say he was in his early thirties, maybe a year or two older than her.
"Point it out when we get close," he said.
"Will do," she replied. "It's one more level up."
After arriving at her car, she leaned against the truck as Mark hooked everything up.
"Have you done this before?" she asked.
"For friends a few times, but never a customer. The tow truck started having issues just last week."
"That's a bummer."
“You’re the first to call for assistance since it happened. The parts are taking longer to get in than usual. Something to do with supply chain issues.”
“For your sake I hope I'm the last,” she replied. “Until your tow truck is fixed, at least.”
