Slow night. Two fares, both silent.
The second one left a hardware wallet on the seat. Didn't notice. Called me ten minutes later, panicked.
Drove back to return it. He was waiting on the curb like it was a lost child.
Handed it over. He stared at me like I had two heads for not stealing it.
Bro, he said. That's like five grand.
Five grand is a lot of trust to leave in the back seat of a taxi.
Or maybe that's what happens when you hold something nobody can take from you anyway. You stop being afraid.
Meter off, radio on.
