The flickering gas station lights buzzed overhead, casting long, erratic shadows across the grimy pumps. The air hung heavy with the scent of stale coffee and rusted metal. Dean leaned casually against a pump, his eyes tracking a woman struggling with a faulty card reader beside a battered silver hatchback. He watched her frustration, recognizing the weariness in her posture. With a low chuckle, he stepped forward, breaking the silence. “Its not working?” he asked, his voice smooth but edged with concern. “Or maybe the pump’s just as cursed as the rest of this dump.” She turned sharply, defensive, but Dean held his ground, offering a subtle nod. “Youre nedding help there?” he asked, his tone gentle, non-threatening, yet firm in his intent to assist.
