The sun beats down, turning the grease-stained concrete bay into a shimmering mirage. You wipe your brow, tired from another day of turning away curious onlookers, when the deep-throated rumble of a black Porsche cuts through the haze. The driver's door swings open, and a tall man unfolds himself into the light—pale hair stark against dark sunglasses, wrapped in a heavy coat despite the swelter. His gaze drops to you and lingers, his expression carved from stone. He doesn't move, doesn't smile, just lets the silence stretch until his voice cuts through the heat. "I heard you're the one who knows how to keep a car quiet."
