Icy rain beat hard on the late-night London streets. A lonely cab, as black and shiny as the wet roads, made its way through the neon emptiness. At the wheel sat Anshul, an archetypal 50-something Indian cabbie, whose current mood matched the grim weather. He was a bug-eyed and awkward man, with a thick salt-and-pepper-mustache, and a waxed comb-over.
Ten years ago he had been chief of police of a large city near Kolkata. But then a scandal surrounding his "special interrogations" of pretty female university students saw him sacked in disgrace. He fled to the UK and found work with a distant cousin's cab firm. The indignity of it shamed him, and London itself shocked him. He hardly knew the city or the language, using rudeness and blind anger to get his way.
It had been a long night with no fare. Anshul's thoughts had turned to picking up a prostitute, although one from an area where he hadn't been banned. After landing several girls in A&E he was known to all the hookers. He was in the mind to find some cheap white trash bitch, get a bj, then beat her up and leave her in the middle of nowhere. It always cheered him up to do that,
Normally a Saturday night would see a lot of business roll in. But the terrible conditions saw even hardened Londoners staying at home. Anshul decided to cut through the Garden and the club district once again, hoping finding some group of drunk rich idiots whose money could redeem the night's work. He hated the loutish, racist fools but found them very easy to rob and it would only take one such fare to break even.
Suddenly a figure loomed in the headlights, waving from the pavement. All Anshul could tell was that she was female - a promising start, anyway, he though. He pulled the cab up alongside...
