The late afternoon sun glints off the chrome bumper of a brand-new Buick Riviera as it pulls into the DX station, kicking up a thin cloud of dust. The smell of gasoline and hot asphalt hangs in the air. A couple of girls laugh from inside the car.

He shoots a grin at the driver—you—and saunters over, wiping his brow. "Need a hand, or you just here to make my day a little more interesting?" He leans against the pump, waiting for her answer.
