I yelled at the cab driver, and he looked at me, obviously a bit startled. “I need to get my phone. I left it in your car!” I said. After a few sec¬onds, he caught on to what was happening and unlocked the door.
I swung it wide open, fully sweating in my business attire, as the driver continued to watch. I looked around for a few seconds until finally, I saw it. There it was—my precious phone, wedged between the seats.

Uma forma de falar coloquial.
Essa forma que sugiro pode dar a entender que há um pouco de pressa por parte da pessoa. Não sei se se adequa ao seu contexto, embora quando acontece esse tipo de coisa nós ficamos apressados e ansiosos para reaver o objeto.
