Arrival to LA
Apr. 24th, 2024 07:51 pmJakob had landed.
He'd finally made the plane journey from Sweden to LA by himself and was still a little nervous about it all, navigating his way from the busy airport, to the apartment complex where his older brother was staying. Bag slung over his shoulder he hailed a cab and was soon pulling up at the large building. Through his fumbling he'd realised he'd lost his wallet.
Oh shit. What was he to do? He had no money to pay the cab driver, who looked pretty pissed off, and it had his ID inside. What good would it do now? He was in a foreign country without money or valid ID. Fuck! He swore in his mother tongue and then realised he'd have to find his brother or someone to pay the cab driver. This someone being inside the apartments. Surely, once they realised he was Felix's younger brother someone would give him twenty dollars for the cab guy.
Yeah, that had to work.
"Sorry----would you mind waiting, I'll uh---I'll get some money and be right back."
Jakob was a little scared the cab driver would drive off back to the airport with his bags still inside the back or worse, get the cops onto him for not paying. The young man got out, ignored the looks from the driver and ran towards the apartment complex, knocking on the nearest door, or rather, banging.
He had to pay the cab driver and try and find his wallet!
"Hello? Please---can someone come out? I---I have to pay my cab driver and---"
Jakob was 19 and inexperienced at international travel.
