Ryan and Adri left his building. They were on the streets of New York, and, He checked his watch, About five hours until new year. He knew where he wanted to end up, but not what would happen in between. He smiled at Adri and looked around. He saw a cab coming and whistled. The cabbie stopped in front of them, and he did not look happy. "You two realize its New Years Eve right? Don't you think I have a family I want to be with." Salem raised an eyebrow at this man. "Sorry sir, but its about five hours until then, and if you will get us where we need to go as fast as possible, I promise you will make it home in time to spend New Years with your family." He pulled a twenty out of his pocket and gave it to the cabbie. "I will add one of those, for every stop you take us to before we send you home." he said. "Scouts honor"

The man looked disbelieving. but He saw honesty in Ryan and believed him. "Sure thing man, get in ill take you where you need to go" he said a bit unwillingly. Ryan opened the door and ushered Adri in with a grin. He sat next to her in the cab and leaned in to the cabbie. "I'm Ryan," he said holding out his hand. The cabbie looked back. "Ernest" he said with a half smile and shook his hand, "Where to?"

"Take us to Rockefeller Plaza" He said and sat back in his seat. He had let go of Adri's hand, he found it awkward to hold someones hand inside a car. He sat back and put his arms behind the head rest, or lack thereof.
