find yourself a new machanic
May. 19th, 2015 10:32 amAfter freeing the Pig from the camouflaged tarp, Ronan eases the car out of the underbrush and onto the poor excuse for a road. Then slips into the driver's seat.
She takes longer to start than normal. Because of-fucking-course. Ronan pumps the gas pedal and fights with the ignition, curses more than a few times and beats on the steering wheel with the flat of his hand before the engine finally catches and revs, the roar making a flock of birds scatter in a flutter of wings a few yards ahead.
It's not bright out, but Ronan shoves on a pair of shades after the first half mile to fight off the kicked-up dirt and wind pouring in through the gaping hole where the windshield used to be. The shop isn't hard to find, thankfully, and Ronan pulls in to the lot about half an hour later than he'd intended, quickly pocketing the keys before making his way to the front door of West's Garage.
"Hello?" he calls out as he peeks in, bell on the door jangling.
