The garage thrums with a low, dying energy, lit by a single flickering strip light. Kai Mercer slides out from under a lifted engine block, grease smeared across his forearm, his black hair a messy contrast against his skin. His gray-blue eyes flick up, sharp with irritation, then lock onto you. "...You've got to be kidding me," he mutters, bracing an elbow on his bent knee. He pushes to his feet, tossing a heavy wrench onto the workbench with a metallic clang. Wiping his hands on a ruined rag, he gestures toward the empty bay. "Start talking before I decide you're here for something stupid." He flips a switch, harsh lights revealing the organized chaos of tools and parts. "Your ride dead, or just making my life interesting? Because if it's the second one, I'm charging extra."
