TINSLEY
If this were a movie scene with the main character on the run, she’d be
looking over her shoulder, afraid she was being followed. Instead, this is
real life and I am on the run, looking over my shoulder, afraid I’m being
followed.
After a long flight from Los Angeles, I turned up at my parents’ place in
the middle of the night. Everyone knows New York City never sleeps. But
my parents do, and I figured I’d slide into the penthouse apartment without
disturbing them. Lucky me, they’re out of town. No surprise there. I counted
it as a bonus, considering my situation and the late hour.
However, the doorman informed me that my mother and father put me on
the “Do Not Let In” list. When I told him they must’ve gotten me mixed up
with someone else named Tinsley Humber, he gave me a sharp, “True New
Yorker” look that told me he’s seen it all, and nothing I could say or do
would convince him to let me pass through the door.
The guy was old enough to be my grandfather and while I’d like to see
him retire rather than work the night shift, I decided not to push my luck.
But that left me on the street. In Manhattan. In the middle of the night.
Options spread before me like the city lights, but none of them glittered. I
could’ve:
Gotten a hotel and charged it to my parents as per usual.
Called a friend and stayed with them, though doing that got me into
this mess in the first place.
Gone to any number of all-night parties that were only sure to be
getting started.
Instead, the yellow light at the entrance to the underground parking
garage caught my eye.
After some light flirting with the garage attendant, I managed to convince
him to give me the keys to my parents’ BMW. Considering they barred me
from the building, I doubt they would’ve loaned me the vehicle so measures
had to be taken.
Yes, it’s stealing.
No, Mother, Father, and I are not on the best of terms.
But I promise I’m not a criminal. I consider this a rental.
My word might not be the most valuable currency, but at the moment, it’s
all I have. Other than grand theft auto, I have not committed a single crime.
However, I was prepared to give the guy in the garage the emergency onehundred-dollar bill in my wallet, so maybe theft with the intent to bribe is
also considered illegal.
But that’s the least of my problems.
Right now, I leave the dazzling New York City skyline behind me as I
crank the radio and cruise north while the GPS on my phone guides me to
Newport, Rhode Island. Far too soon, the bass-heavy song turns repetitive as
I yawn and my eyes grow heavy.
