Chapter 20“You’re sure you want to get out here?” the taxi driver asked Chiho. Shuttered warehouses and storage companies lined the streets. Here and there, delivery trucks—empty, it seemed—were parked silently waiting for sunrise to start their deliveries.
Chiho paid without answering.
The driver turned around to look at Sukanya and Chiho. “Do you work near here?”
The driver took the money from her with a frown and started to say something more, but Chiho pushed Sukanya out along the seat and walked her in the opposite direction from the studio. The driver closed the door and drove off.
When the taxi was gone, Chiho stopped. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“I’m sure,” Sukanya said. “Ratana find something like money. I remember she hide and want come back. But she not come back.”
