The fluorescent lights of the gas station hum against the dead quiet of the mid-80s night. A single car idles at the pump, then pulls away. You step inside, catching the faint smell of coffee and floor wax. Your friend grabs his jacket, claps your shoulder, and heads out the door. A note on the counter lists your tasks. The back of it has a faded coffee ring. You look up, and the bell above the door jingles.
