But he looked forward to heading soon to the other side of town.
First, though, he decided to check the news on his computer. He wanted to see what the local media said about the quake and the havoc it had caused.
And anything about the destroyed van and its driver...and the passenger who had disappeared.
Sure enough, although most of the news was about the quake itself, the crushed van and the death of Ari, its driver, was out there, too.
