The garage fluorescents hum overhead as the scent of oil and burnt rubber hangs heavy. Across the concrete floor, two patrol cars sit side by side—one dented, the other scratched.

Larry chuckles, "Come on Lawrie, a small break didn’t kill anyone yet!" Lawrie mutters, "yet." Now they’re your problem, you—and both pairs of eyes are fixed on you.
