The driver, noticing they were students from the University of Maple Grove, couldn't help but comment, "You girls are going places. My son never made it into such a prestigious school."

Cynthia, ever the chatterbox, struck up a lively conversation with the driver, while Flora, head down, was busy texting Connor on her phone. Suddenly, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Ladies, did you tick someone off? That van's been tailing us for a while." Flora looked up, her face tightening as she saw the gray van following them.
Just then, a large truck aggressively merged into their lane, charging at their taxi with menacing intent! The taxi driver turned pale with fear.
"What the heck... Girls, who did you upset?" Flora put away her phone, her gaze sharp as she watched the relentless pursuit of the van and the truck through the rearview mirror.

The sudden speed increase nearly sent Cynthia and Eilies flying out of their seats, causing them to grip the handles even tighter. "We're going to crash!" The driver screamed, watching as they rapidly closed in on the vehicle ahead. Instinctively, he started to ease off the gas, but was immediately met with Flora's stern command. "Floor it!" Terrified, the driver complied, and the car surged forward! They were about to crash into the vehicle in front!
