Genifer, fearful of the turmoil downtown, insisted on taking a vehicle rather than Metro. Metro would have put them right into the Telestrian enclave, and the passes Shayla had arranged would have gotten them in from the station as easily as from a public parking garage. But Genifer wouldn’t listen to his argument that the classic Gallant would stick out as a target for anyone looking for the "haves." Convinced that if trouble spread, it would spread over public transportation, she thought the danger less to go by car than by rail. Again, Tom gave in. It wasn’t that big a concession, since he really wasn’t expecting trouble either way; he just didn’t like driving in the city any more.
