"Naw... that's just the way Tom is," Phil assures. "He's got one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. Yeah, he could probably get more money elsewhere and he probably knows it. But... he likes to be a blessing to other people though and I think you just happened along at the right time."

He gives Rayne a wink and motions to the shop. "Let's see if we can find Axel."

Getting inside, Phil greets a couple people that he knew just slightly from association with Axel. Asking to see his friend, they're in luck - Axel was working today. It only takes a few minutes for him to emerge from the garage, wiping his hands on a rag. "Hey, Phil!"

"Axel." Phil smiles and gives him a nod. "This is my friend Rayne... she's looking at buying a car from Tom-"

"Gutherson," Axel finishes for him. "I recognized the car when you guys drove up."

Phil laughs. "Guess we don't have to confirm you were the one that worked on it then."

"Nope." Axel looks to Rayne, studying her for a moment, before offering a small smile. His eyes seem to smile more than his lips though.

"You mind showing Rayne around under the hood and making sure everything's in good shape?"

"Sure - not a problem." Axel tosses his rag on the counter and holds the door open for both of them before wandering over to the car. "Wanna pop the hood, Rayne?"

Waiting for that, Phil nods to Axel's hand. "How's the hand?"

Axel grins and wriggles his fingers. "Good as new." He pauses. "Well... I still got some bad days but for the most part, it's great. Good enough I can keep working anyway."

"Awesome."

Having the hood popped, Axel lifts and props it open, waiting for Rayne to explain the work that had been done on it, and anything else that he felt she would need to know.
