I am Ceirra

I stare at him, “Didn’t you have something planned?”
He grinned, “Well, I did, but I didn’t know if you had something in mind yourself. Such as another movie.”
“No thanks,” I said, “What was your plan?”
He chuckled, “Secret.”
I scowled, “Fine then.”
He grinned at me crookedly, “Just sit back and enjoy the ride. This thing really flies.”
I sighed and relaxed into my chair slightly. He was right, the drive was smooth. After a moment of silence he asked, “Alright, so what time is it, exactly?”
I glance at him, “Um, 5:50?”
“Right,” he said, “I came a little early. And what is the date?”
I wondered why he was asking me this, “March 2nd?”
“And what state are we in?” He asked. I just stared at him, so he answered his own question, “Virginia, right?”
I nodded, wondering if I should make a jump for it.
He grinned “Right. Now, in Virginia, at what time does the sun set on March 2nd?”
I stared.
“At exactly 6:01 PM. So we are taking this western road… into the sunset. Hopefully, it will be a nice one.”
