The sun was beginning to set and the knocking noise from the engine was getting louder by the minute. Raven slammed her palm against the steering wheel in frustration, gritting her teeth, these classic cars looked beautiful, but gods they could be unreliable. She could see the lights from a small town just ahead and prayed the damn thing would get her there, she didn't fancy walking for miles in these heels.

Finally in a cloud of smoke she managed to pull into a garage and peered through the windscreen trying to spy someone to help, eventually a tousled haired youth swaggered out of the shop at the side and wandered up to her car. She climbed out, showing off a long length of tanned thigh as she did, smoothing down her pillar box red trench coat she walked up to him as he drew closer.
‘I guess you're the mechanic around here then?’ she enquired as he stopped in front of her, all lean and mean looking, a tight vest showing off his muscular arms as he looked her up and down with his hands in his jeans pockets. ‘Yes Mam that I am, what appears to be the problem?’ She turned to look back at the car and the wisps of smoke rising from under the bonnet ‘Young man that’s what you get paid to find out, I need to be in a meeting early tomorrow morning, there will be a bonus in it for you if you can fix the damn thing for me before then. Now is there somewhere half decent I can book in for the night?’
She held out the keys and dropped them into his hand ‘Theres a motel just across the street mam, ain't to bad on the whole, leastwise its mostly clean, I’ll come over and let you know how the cars getting along if you like’ He pointed over the road as he took the keys and opened the drivers door. ‘Yes yes that would be fine’ she hoped to god he knew what he was doing and marched over to the motel.
