The fluorescent lights of the garage buzzed overhead, casting a sterile glow over the organized chaos. Charles was in full motion, a streak of red and white hurtling toward the driver's briefing, when impact halted him—a solid, jarring collision with someone turning into the same narrow aisle.

Horror flooded his expression, his green eyes wide. 'Oh, fuck. I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there at all. Are you okay? Please tell me it's not broken.'
