I swerve up to the side of the client's apartment building. There's an eavestrough there that's just too high off the ground to reach without a boost.
There's a garbage truck behind me. I ignore it and back up, hitting the truck with a screech of metal. The car's just under the eavestrough now, and I open the driver's side door, turn to the client, and tell her: "Go."
She slides out of the car and scrambles onto the hood while I smile pleasantly at the driver of the truck. He's still looking somewhat shocked by the fact that I just backed into him. As my client grabs onto the eavestrough and starts climbing into the apartment, I shut the door of the car.
I pick up the car, crunch it into a ball, and throw it into the back of the garbage truck.
"Don't worry," I assure the driver, "It's registered under a false name."
He... smiles back, and I know that he isn't going to cause me any trouble.
